Students show art's future in Santa Paula exhibit
If the next generation of local artists has anything to say about it, your utility box, grandmother's knitting or Bubble Wrap may become art.
In fact, there's a chance it already has.
In a show that opened this month, 16 artists have re-imagined the obvious and photographed, painted or sculpted it as art.
"They're deep thinkers who are very creative and are really looking at details," said Jennifer Orcutt Heighton, the Santa Paula Art Museum's executive director and curator. "This exhibit is a great way to bring in new art that's all being created within 30 minutes of Santa Paula."
The "Next Generation" exhibit runs through Oct. 21 at the museum, 117 N. 10th St. It has 32 pieces by students from Brooks Institute, California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California Lutheran University and Ventura College.
Gregory Diamond, a student in the master's of fine arts program at Brooks, photographed Bubble Wrap and Pez candy arranged to form letters in Braille. He designed his pieces to raise awareness of those with disabilities.
"Braille is something people ignore because it scares them. They don't want to think that someday they might lose their vision," he said. "But I want people to not take their eyesight for granted and not be afraid to notice things."
Diamond, of Santa Barbara, said the photographs draw on his own experiences overcoming adversity.
"The reason why I noticed Braille in first place is because I was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder when I was 11, which causes me to notice little odd things that really go unnoticed by lot of other people that I know," he said. "Making this into art allows my ADD to define me in a good way instead of a bad way."
Other pieces in the exhibit include Will Smith's photographs of utility boxes nestled in nature, Arnulfo Reyes' photographs of abandoned car dealerships, Scott Oshima's photographs of construction on Interstate 405 and Autumn Le' Brannon's video of her grandmother knitting.
In essays they wrote about their art, the students discuss casting everyday objects in a new light.
"My curiosity leads me to look at these boxes 'hidden in plain sight,' to make them noticed," Smith wrote.
The museum, which opened two years ago, hopes to draw newcomers to the exhibit and make Santa Paula residents aware of art made locally, Heighton said.
"We try to always show work that is somehow connected to Ventura County," she said.
Heighton asked art professors at local colleges to select a few students each for the exhibit. Jenchi Wu, who teaches art at Ventura College, said she chose students with a strong work ethic who had grown as artists during the past year.
"These students show dedication to their craft and, of course, creativity through their work," she said.
Ermelinda Bendy is one student Wu selected. Her "My Cubic Portrait" sculpture shows a woman's face painted into geometric shapes.
The piece "portrays my passion for design and color by crafting strong, abstract designs integrated with elusive angles to illustrate endless dimensions of strength," Bendy wrote in her artists statement.
This is the first time the museum has showcased student art, but Heighton said she has been so impressed that she plans to hold similar exhibits.
"We want to be a home for new artists as well as established artists," she said.

When dressing for the airport, I try to dress in such a way that I won't be harassed by the TSA. I've had several bad experiences with the TSA, so I try to minimize any reason for harassment. I didn't bring my laptop. I brought my kindle fire. I wore a very comfortable pair of light cotton capri pants in the color grey, along with my pink Hello Kitty shirt. I wore my Hello Kitty jacket, because I always get cold on the plane. I even wore a sports bra so that there would be no underwire to deal with. I wore my Umburto Raffini Nicola sandals. I also had on my big glittery star earrings.
This was apparently good. I was complimented by members of the TSA staff and told that I looked like a member of Jem and the Holograms. This made me smile.
I hate flying. I get so anxious about being on the plane. I feel like I can't breathe. I feel like I'm packed into too tiny of a space with too many people. Thankfully, Ray helped me stay calm. Unfortunately, we were on the roughest, bumpiest flight that I've experienced in 10 years. I do have to say though, I enjoyed flying Southwest. It was the fastest boarding and deboarding I've ever dealt with. The seats were reasonably comfortable. My flight home was way smoother.
You look lovely! Poor you, I don't like flying either but it sounds really bad for you I usually wear the biggest, heaviest shoes I'm taking to fly just so I don't have to pack them. I'm going to California in October and am already worried about going through security.
LillianFunnyFace It used to be that every single time I would be harassed and singled out for 'random' searches. It didn't happen this year, and I was pleasantly surprised by that.
I love Hello Kitty stuff – that shirt is really cute! I also hate flying, in fact I dread it – it's gotten to the point where I don't know if I'd be able to do it anymore. The thing is, I used to fly all the time when I was a kid, even took Aviation and flew in 2 of my instructor's planes (one of them was an open cockpit yikes) in H.S., and was even so dorky that my friend and I joined the Civil Air Patrol during that time (because hours accumulated there went towards acquiring a private pilot's license). BUT……. some years after, my best friend at the time became a travel agent ok, and she and I decided to fly to Chicago – from the time we started taking off on the runway, she started going on about how planes will hit air pockets and all of a sudden drop 500 feet, and then various other stories. Well of course that planted the seed of growing fear and next thing you know I was on the internet searching statistics like some Rainman type shiat :p So from then on it would just get worse to the point that when the plane would take off, I would bury my head in the seat in front of me, knees knocking together at a billion miles an hour – and one time I actually accidentally grabbed the woman in front of me. So I suppose it might be something I should try to work on…
studiodummies I know people fly all the time, it's just not as comfortable / easy as it used to be. Yeah the rollercoaster effect sucks
Haha, one time I wore a t-shirt to the airport that said "Good girls are just bad girls that haven't gotten caught." TSA agent reads this out loud, looks at me, and I go, "Maybe I should've worn something else today," and we cracked up.Getting through O'Hare with my laptop earlier this year was a pain in the butt. I've never even heard of anyone doing anything untoward with a laptop, but they want to scan them especially by themselves anyway.
Quinctia I've been detained because of having a laptop so I try to get by without taking them anymore. Great shirt!
Good choices! I would totally wear that entire outfit to travel…looks very comfy and practical.Glad you didn't get harassed by the TSA. I think I've been pretty lucky in that regard. I do like the Jem & the Holograms comment ;)I am OK with flying – sort of. I get pretty freaked out when the plane does that sudden drop thing. I also get airsick pretty easily – not actually throwing up, but headachy and super-nauseous. I also can't really sleep on a plane, so if I doze off, I often wake up in this crazy panic and then I am too scared to try and sleep again. This all makes me sounds less OK with flying than I thought, haha!

Breaking Down Rocks in the Deep Ocean
When I witness adults cooing over Eocene-era rocks, or tasting 15 million-year-old ocean sediments, I instantly wonder what their childhood was like.

Why curiosity for inanimate objects over, say, plants or something with eyes and a heart?

Paradigm Electronics Ships its Flagship Reference Signature SUB 25
A range of features, such as universal input power, Power Factor Correction and optional integration of room correction technology, make the new subwoofer as smart as it is powerful.
For a demo of this and other products, please visit Paradigm's CES booth in the Venetian Tower 30-133.
TORONTO, CANADA â December 18, 2008 - Paradigm Electronics Inc., an international leader in speaker design and manufacturing, announces shipping of its most powerful and intelligent subwoofer ever: the Signature SUB 25. Recognizing that on-demand power is the essence of subwoofer performance, Paradigm has designed the SUB 25 to effectively harness and optimize AC line current for optimal performance.
All AC line voltages are not created equal, and some A/V equipment has more robust power demands than others. Paradigm has equipped the SUB 25 with universal input power, which allows the subwoofer to operate intuitively on a 120 V or 230 V circuit. This is possible because the SUB 25 can handle the load from any line voltage between 108 V and 265 V.
This flexibility to accept a range of line voltages is welcome, but how this power is managed is even more critical. The SUB 25âs Power Factor Correction technology shapes the AC line input current to be sinusoidal and continuous in time. A unit without Power Factor Correction can only draw about 60 to 70 percent of the maximum available power because the current only flows at the peaks of the line voltage, essentially âchokingâ? the line. The use of Power Factor Correction allows the SUB 25 to accept the maximum possible amount of input power, while its high-efficiency Ultra-Class D⢠amplifier, rated at 7,500 watts Dynamic Peak and 3,000 watts sustained RMS, allows the maximum amount of output power. By combining both, the SUB 25 delivers the most power that can be obtained from the AC line.
The SUB 25âs new high-power 15-inch driver with three-inch peak-to-peak cone travel, improved high-efficiency motor assembly, massive shorting ring and all new FEA-optimized elliptical surround offer high linearity, greater excursion, lower distortion and greater effective cone area.
An optional yet valuable add-on for the SUB 25 is Paradigmâs Perfect Bass Kit (PBK-1â¢) interface, a state-of-the-art room correction system derived from sister company Anthem Electronicsâ acclaimed ARC-1⢠system. PBK-1 uses proprietary processing to compute in-room frequency response of up to four different SUB 25s before computing a target frequency response for each, yielding optimized in-room reproduction of low frequencies.
Additional Features of the Paradigm Reference Signature SUB 25:
⢠L/R RCA Audio inputs
⢠Subwoofer Input
⢠Balanced XLR input
⢠Independently adjustable output level, bandwidth and phase
⢠Power modes: Off, Trigger and Auto
⢠External Trigger input
⢠Reconfigurable via USB port
The Reference Signature SUB 25 has a U.S. FMV of $3,999. The optional PBK-1 interface has a U.S. FMV of $299.

Wish I could find one?!
I don't understand Mazda's apparent decision not to sell these on the East Coast considering current $4 gas prices ! It absolutely makes no sense! Please make these vehicles available on East Coast--I'd love to drive one! Richard Crowell,Concord,NC

Great SUV shame about the styling
I've only had it 2 months and so far there's been no major problems. I couldn't find any user reviews but decided to go for the Tribute as it was surprisingly easy to find despite the demand for gas misers right now, I even got a discount on it! maybe Mazda need to market it better. So far we have the average mpg up to 27.8 which is around what I expected. The only things I'd change about it are an extra row of seats would be nice, at the moment you have to pay an extra $10k for a Highlander to get that. The other thing is the styling, it's very brick-like, I prefer the sleeker looks of the crossovers, although you do sacrifice some space for that. Overall I would recommend it for someone whom wants an SUV that's a bit kinder to the environment.

text: I was very impressed with the job GM Reggie McKenzie has done in free agency, and even more so in this draft. The Raiders have improved themselves in almost every position group from last season (except LT by losing Veldheer, but he didn't went to be here anyway so fuck him). If you look at every pick in this draft, Reggie took players that were projected to go higher than he selected, even down to the very last pick. We received two draft picks in the 7th round that were projected to go in rounds 4-5 on NFL.com with Travis Carrie (MAC 1st team safety) and Jonathan Dowling. The future looks bright, patience is necessary but we are headed in the right direction. Very proud of our management and the job they did on this off season..Seems to me like we are in good hands with McKenzie and Clinkscales. Here to the future!! GO RAIDERS!!!!!

A 40-year-old man was arrested for trying to break into an ATM, Green Bay police said Friday.
Johnson Bank employees noticed damage in the foyer of the bank and damage to an ATM about 6 a.m. Friday and called police, according to a Green Bay police news release.
Officers reviewed surveillance tape from overnight and saw a man damaging property and using his hands to try to break into the ATM.
While officers were investigating, Green Bay police were called to Quality Inn and Suites, 321 South Washington St., across the street from the bank, for a report of a man disturbing and damaging property in the lobby.
Police found the man who told officers he was homeless and looking for money to get a car and leave town. The man admitted to being the person who damaged the ATM and was arrested on tentative charges of attempted burglary, criminal damage to property and entry to a locked coin box.

Does a country need a promotion agency to attract foreign direct investment : a small analytical model applied to 58 countries
AbstractEstablishing an investment promotion agency has become a central part of most countries'development strategies. Today there are more than 150 investment promotion agencies worldwide. Yet very little is known about what these agencies have been really doing, notably in emerging countries, and whether they have been effective in influencing investors'decisions. Using data from a new survey on 58 countries, Morisset shows that greater investment promotion is associated with higher cross-country foreign direct investment (FDI) flows, on top of the influence of the country's investment climate and market size. But this result has to be qualified on several counts. First, the effectiveness of the agency depends on the country's environment in which it operates. An agency in a poor investment climate is less effective at attracting investment. Second, the scope of activities that an agency undertakes influences its performance. Morisset's empirical analysis indicates that agencies devoting more resources on policy advocacy are more effective because such activity is not only beneficial to foreign investors but also to domestic investors. In contrast, investment generation or targeting strategies appear expensive and risky, especially in countries with poor investment climates. Finally, certain internal characteristics of the agencies are associated with greater effectiveness. The agencies that have established reporting mechanisms to the country's highest policymakers (the president or prime minister) or to the private sector have been systematically more efficient at attracting foreign direct investment. Such institutional links are crucial because they contribute to strengthen the government's commitment as well as reinforce the agency's credibility and visibility in the business community.

Loss Distribution Approach for Operational Risk

March 30, 2001
In this paper, we explore the Loss Distribution Approach (LDA) for computing the capital charge of a bank for operational risk where LDA refers to statistical/actuarial methods for modelling the loss distribution. In this framework, the capital charge is calculated using a Value-at-Risk measure. In the first part of the paper, we give a detailed description of the LDA implementation and we explain how it could be used for economic capital allocation. In particular, we show how to compute the aggregate loss distribution by compounding the loss severity distribution and the loss frequency distribution, how to compute the total Capital-at-Risk using copulas, how to control the upper tail of the loss severity distribution with order statistics. In the second part of the paper, we compare LDA with the Internal Measurement Approach (IMA)proposed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision to calculate regulatory capital for operational risk. LDA and IMA are bottom - up internal measurement models which are apparently different. Nevertheless, we could map LDA into IMA and give then some justifications about the choice done by regulators to define IMA. Finally, we provide alternative ways of mapping both methods together.

They Will Not Let You Down!!!!
I got these tire for my Honda Recon 250 and they dig and i haven't got stuck yet. my cousin got stuck and I tied it to my fourwheeler and they slipped once then they dug and pulled him out. These tires are the bomb.
I'm very pleased with these tires and mud throwers. I ordered these tires one day and got them the next day. The tires are awesome and go great. I put these on my 1999 Honda 300 fourtrax and its like a totally different machine. QXG

NEW YORK -- Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman tied a career high with four hits Thursday afternoon and emergency starting pitcher Tanner Roark earned the win with six solid innings as the Washington Nationals completed a three-game sweep of the New York Mets with an 8-2 win at Citi Field. The Nationals came back from early deficits in all three games in improving to 3-0 for the second time in three seasons. The Mets are 0-3 for the first time since 2005. Zimmerman began Thursday's comeback with a homer leading off the second and added an RBI single during a four-run seventh inning that blew the game open. He also singled in his middle two at-bats. It was the ninth four-hit game for Zimmerman, who flied out with the bases loaded to end the eighth. First baseman Adam LaRoche had three RBI via a two-run single in the seventh and a bases-loaded walk in the eighth. Center fielder Denard Span had two hits, including a game-tying RBI single in the fifth. Right fielder Jayson Werth delivered an RBI single later in the fifth to give the Nationals the lead for good while second baseman Danny Espinosa added two doubles in his first start of the season. Roark was scheduled to start the Nationals' home opener Friday but was moved up a day when Thursday's scheduled starter, Jordan Zimmermann, got sick Wednesday night. Roark survived a laborious first inning to improve to 8-1 in 15 big league appearances. Roark allowed two runs -- both in the first, when he threw 31 of his 95 pitches -- on six hits and three walks while striking out five. He struck out the final four batters he faced. For the Mets, right fielder Curtis Granderson had two doubles -- his first hits for the Mets since signing a four-year deal in December -- and an RBI while center fielder Juan Lagares had a sacrifice fly and a double. Mets starter Zack Wheeler gave up three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings. The Mets took a 2-0 lead in the first -- the third time in as many games they have scored in the first inning -- when second baseman Daniel Murphy and third baseman David Wright each singled with one out before Granderson doubled to right to bring home Murphy. A walk to first baseman Lucas Duda loaded the bases, after which Lagares delivered a sacrifice fly to score Wright. Just as they did the previous two games, though, the Nationals methodically inched back. Washington's leadoff batter reached in all six innings against Wheeler, including in the second, when Zimmerman's homer on the third pitch of the frame cut the Mets' lead in half. The Nationals went ahead in the fifth, when catcher Sandy Leon worked a leadoff walk, went to second on Roark's sacrifice and scored on Span's single to right. Span went to second on the throw home, moved to third on left fielder Bryce Harper's long fly out and scored on Werth's single. Washington scored four times in the seventh thanks to four singles, one walk and one error. NOTES: RHP Jordan Zimmermann received fluids during the day Thursday and flew home ahead of the Nationals. He is penciled in to start for Washington in its home opener Friday. Manager Matt Williams said Thursday that the Nationals will go with a "bullpen game" if Zimmermann is unable to pitch again. ... Williams became the first manager of a Washington baseball team to open his career 3-0 since Jim Manning won his first four games at the helm of the Washington Senators in 1901. ... Prior to the game, the Mets placed OF Chris Young on the 15-day disabled list due to a tight right quad. Young was initially hurt during the final weekend of the exhibition season and missed Opening Day on Monday before re-aggravating the injury during the first inning of Wednesday's game. Mets manager Terry Collins said he hoped Young would be able to return when first eligible. ... Mets 2B Daniel Murphy, who missed the first two games of the season following the birth of his son, was activated off paternity leave and went 1-for-3 with a pair of errors. ... Frank Viola, the pitching coach for the Mets' Triple-A affiliate in Las Vegas and a former 20-game winner with the Mets, underwent successful open heart surgery on Wednesday.

The Government has planned to promote policemen who have been in a post for more than a decade.
Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa announced this at the Police Commemoration Day here on Wednesday. He said that many police constables had been in the same post for a long time. The Government was considering giving promotions to policemen who have worked for more than 18, 25 and 28 years respectively. A notification in this regard would be issued shortly, he said.
Director-General and Inspector-General of Police Ajai Kumar Singh said the department had submitted the proposal, which would benefit nearly 5,000 personnel. He said that a constable who had put in 18 years of service would be made head constable; a head constable who had worked for 25 years would be promoted as assistant sub-inspector; and an assistant sub-inspector who has put in 28 years of service would be elevated as police inspector.
Mr. Singh said this had been a long pending demand of the policemen. "We have short-listed the number of personnel eligible for promotion. We are waiting for the notification," he said.
Earlier, Mr. Yeddyurappa expressed displeasure over the time taken by officials in implementing some of the assurances made by him.
"Last time, I had promised raising the daily allowance from Rs. 50 to Rs. 100. But this is yet to be enforced. Officers should work in such a way that makes people's confidence in the Government grow. Officials should not dilly-dally over the needs of policemen," he said. Mr. Yeddyurappa promised that the policemen that would get the revised allowance shortly.
The Chief Minister said it would be ensured that there would be no interference in transfer of police officers. It would also give Rs. 1 crore every year for the Police Welfare Fund. The Government would spend Rs. 10 crore for improving facilities in prisons.
Mr. Singh said that a proposal had been sent for raising the number police stations in the State.

L-Tyrosine by Now Foods

Posted by sweden on Apr 12, 2013

Debilitated by ME (it's like Chronic Fatigue but it starts with a bad flu-like illness), I've spent years hardly able to leave my home due to fatigue. I've tried many products for it, but none really helped much. After taking Now Foods' Super Cortisol, Fo Ti (Nature's Way Fo-Ti Root and then Paradise Herbs Fo-Ti), and Now Foods' L-Tyrosine for 2 weeks, I perked up during the day and began needing considerably less sleep at night. These products are the only changes I've made in my life. (I take the maximum dosage given on each bottle.) I can't say if it's one of these products or the combination, but my energy level has increased considerably and my foggy brain has cleared. To anyone experiencing fatigue and/or brain fog, I'd suggest reading up on each of the products I've been using, then testing with one or all. It could take longer for you than it has for me, so don't give up!

My doctor prescribed me l-phenylanine to help me deal with moodswings after hard workout/tournaments. Since its cheaper for me to order it from iherb, than buy with prescription at pharmacy here, i bought both l-phenylanine and "just for fun" l-tyrosine. The l-phenylanine gave me a bad headache, while l-tyrosine somehow (and very unexpected) brought relive to the mood swings (and yes, i know it shouldnt -but it does) ..so, thumbs up L-Tyrosine.

Use one of these daily along with 500mg of Rhodiola, 250 mg of DMAE and 300mg of Phosphatidyl Serine for stress and brain function. It's helping for stress. Hoping after longer use, it will do even better for my brain fog.

After two years of being under a lot of stress, I read in the book "Magnificent Mind At Any Age", that L-Tyrosine is highly reccomended for stress relief. WOW, it has made a huge difference in the way I feel. I wish I had known about this years ago.

Ryan Seacrest Booed at NFL Kickoff Game (VIDEO)
By mj On 09/06/2013 · 37 Comments · In American Idol, Ryan Seacrest
Oh Noes. Ryan Seacrest was booed when he took the field at Mile High stadium, flanked by cheerleaders to introduce a special countdown featuring NFL legends.
Now why would the crowd boo the all-american Ryan Seacrest. Hes like, America's favorite guy, isn't he? Guess they aren't American Idol fans? Or top 40 radio fans? Or Kardashian fans? Or Today show fans? Not looking forward to the Million Second Quiz? No interest in Persians in America?
Or maybe they can't miss somebody if he won't go away.
Check out the sad clip below.
Tagged with: Ryan Seacrest
I've been to 100+ NFL games & it doesn't sound like *that* much booing to me, more general fan noise. If anything, the fans probably just wanted the game to start. You hear REAL booing when the opposing players run out onto the field.
I like Ryan, but he almost seems maniacal in accepting all these jobs on TV. He didn't get the best reception for his Olympics coverage, I don't know why he thought he'd go over well with football. Does he know who his audience is? He's getting that $$$ so what do I know?
Kariann Hart
That's right, I didn't hear much either. Ryan needs to rest once in awhile!
Well, a football game is pretty much our premiere ritual of machismo, isn't it? In that atmosphere, I'm sure that a few would feel compelled to boo a multimillionaire in Ryan's style…just because. I mean, American Idol clearly has cooties … and shouldn't a *real* man be the one making all that cash? heh….Anyway, in a football crowd a few people are usually booing everything.
I don't see why Ryan needs all these jobs. But who knows? Maybe the AI producers thought his appearance could win them a few extra viewers. They shoulda sent JLo, however.
He's lucky this wasn't in Philly, he probably would have had something thrown at him as well, lol.
Football and cheesy reality shows just don't mix.
He shouldn't have been there in the first place. Football and Ryan Seacrest? That don't go together.
Football and cheesy reality shows just don't mix.
Everything surrounding football is cheesy.
- cheesily dressed cheer-leaders – check
- cheesy fan souveniers – check (some are actually pieces of cheese you put on your head)
- cheesy countdowns – check
- cheesy fan rituals – check
- cheesy marching band routines – check
- the list goes on-and-on – it's cheese from well-before the game to weeks afterwards.
It's not the cheese factor, it's the pseudo-"macho" factor that tripped him up. Of course, maybe some of the fans don't recognize the cheese endemic in their favourite sport.
He was booed because he doesn't belong there. They want football and testosterone and beer, not exactly Ryan Seacrest buzz words.. Bad placement by producers.
"Well, a football game is pretty much our premiere ritual of machismo, isn't it? "
Yep. It's what the gladiator battles of ancient Rome have evolved into. lol
Amen RE Philly. I cannot say I am surprised at the crowd's reaction to Ryan, though I personally think it's a bit ignorant on their part.
I don't know if Ryan is a football fan, but there was no legit reason for him to be on that telecast.
The tv critic for the Baltimore newspaper wrote a scathing column criticizing NBC for its "shilling" of Secrest last night. He also had some less than flattering comments about Ryan himself, basically calling him vapid and talentless.
NBC shouldn't have had Ryan at the game or wasted time interviewing him. If they had just did the usual commercials for his tv show, no one probably would have really cared.
I didn't hear any booing when I watched this last night but I did wonder why the heck did they get RS to do this job.
LOL. I guess there could be considered "male cheese and female cheese". But Idol is definitely NOT of the male cheese variety. It would be the female cheese their wives and daughters watch.
Here's my all time favorite Philly sport cheese.
Best. Sport's Mascot. Ever.
Not fit to print
Ryan can run a live show like clockwork and has built a massive media empire. He's talented; just not a sports fan's idea of talented, so they let him know it.
Or maybe they just can't stand the fact that most of them will take a lifetime to earn what he makes in a month? #GreenEyedMonster
Favorite quote from that article "Seacrest embodies the worst aspects of commercial television – the phoniness, the lack of creativity and talent, the vapid emptiness at its heart. You don't take someone like that and shove him down the throats of serious sports fans on opening night as NBC did Thursday."
Stupid move on NBC's part.
The tv critic for the Baltimore newspaper wrote a scathing column criticizing NBC for its "shilling" of Secrest last night
Why would NBC "shill" for Seacrest? What is he to them? He's the "face" of the rival to their highest rated show. That horrible Kim reality show is on cable isn't it (please tell me NBC doesn't air that crap?)? I don't think NBC owns his radio station. So, why would they shill?
They probably thought he would bring in some viewers (female? pop-fans?) so they thought he was helping to get viewers. It did get them some press in a non-traditional sports blog.
"Seacrest embodies the worst aspects of commercial television – the
phoniness, the lack of creativity and talent, the vapid emptiness at its
heart. You don't take someone like that and shove him down the throats
of serious sports fans on opening night as NBC did Thursday."
LMAO. Sports fans are so freakin' full of themselves. People who watch singing contests are fake lame-o's, but people who watch men on steroids (and assorted other performance enhancing drugs) give each other crippling brain-injuries are "serious".
It's entertainment folks.
Fans may become over-involved in their teams/favourites, spend way too much money on "souvenirs" and spend way too much time attending concerts/games, but neither pop-music nor sports are truly serious. They are distractions. And big business. They are serious money-makers for the companies, broadcasters and players/artists.
Ryan is no more phony or vapid than most sportscasters. And both Ryan and those sportscasters are very talented…they make it look easy.
Not fit to print
Yes, and sports fans represent the ultimate in media-savvy de-ontruction….Regular little Noam Chomskys, every last one, with their finely tuned commentaries on the zeitgiest: BOO.
Not to mention that football runs on pretty much the same phoniness and vapid emptiness, with its' fiddling of academic records, cover-up of criminal acts etc. etc. etc.
ETA: Sorry girlygirl – not snapping at you – just annoyed with the whole insular, macho crap that is professional sports
Lol, I'll give ya that, Ryan and most sportscasters are probably equally phoney and vapid.
NBC was still stupid, they should have known he was a poor fit for this.
I don't hear the booing…..
Miles (Grumpy) (VI)
Booing Ryan seems a little like kicking a puppy to me. He's harmless, filthy rich, but harmless.
Ronnie D
Ryan has sort of become passe, at least outside of Hollywood.
Doesn't Ryan host/produce that million-second quiz show that starts next week on NBC? It was cross-promotion.
Every form of entertainment has its share of Swiss and Colby Jack. And football can be very macho. But considering how many women watch the sport, the 'ugh, eff the macho' venom is short-sighted. Sports fans are no more delusional than uber-obsessed Idol fans.
Ryan was booed because nothing about him fits with the sport. Yes, he's great at what he does. He's always around–hosting this, promoting that, unleashing the unholiness that are the Kardashians upon the unsuspecting masses. He's over-saturated himself. Getting involved with the country's most popular sport is one appearance too many.
Maybe people are simply tired of him for the moment.
NFL fans aren't going to waste their time being jealous of Ryan. Peyton Manning–who's just as rich as Seacrest, and has a much higher Q-rating–would be victim of jealousy among that crowd. Many dreamed of being a Super Bowl winning QB. I doubt many thought of becoming this generation's Dick Clark. Nothing wrong with that, but it wasn't on the bucket list.
Again, assuming that NFL fans are so obtuse is a very-short sighted way of not realizing that Seacrest is a bad fit among NFL fans–male or female.
That can't have been a good ego moment. I've never been that invested in Seacrest one way or another, but do think he is a big behind the scenes manipulator. I always thought he was trying to be Dick Clark…but there will only be one Dick Clark.
You give NBC way too much credit. This was the opening game on the NFL season, so they were very invested in it. The NFL if I'm not mistaken has a bigger TV deal with FOX. If the NFL said to NBC that Ryan was to do that introduction there is nothing they could do about it, it's not like there gonna say well than we won't do Sunday Night Foot ball anymore, cause every other network would be there with their wallets out to take their place. I'm also quite sure NBC would have much rather had Blake or Adam (Maroon 5) do the pre-game concert than Keith Urban.
Is that what cheerleaders wear these days?
I didn't think the booing was that bad. Maybe 10 or 20 thousand.
Hard to be passé in Hollywood where he appears to have his fingers in many pies. Guess he under estimated his popularity with football fans. At least it wasn't a Raiders game…one can only imagine…
I really can't hear much booing either. But if I were there, I would have been booing those atrociously cheesy cheerleaders in the background behind him. Talk about "the phoniness, the lack of creativity and talent, the vapid emptiness at its heart."
Regardless, Ryan shouldn't take it too personally–football fans are notorious for voicing negativity at every opportunity. (I know, I am a huge football fan)
Speaking of Philly fans throwing things, I'm surprised you didn't mention the most infamous incident in the City of Brotherly Love:
Ah, don't you just love the classics ;)
This following game I was at in 1989, at the old Vet. A referee was actually knocked out with one of those ice balls in the end zone during a commercial.
(Ryan got off easy in Denver, lol.)
I was there last night and damn straight we booed him. Denver is about football, not Hollywood shit.
By the way it's called Sports Authority Field at Mile High. There is a good reason why Denver fans don't tolerate ignorant east/west coast media.
Or it could be that he's corny and fake and really shouldn't have been at a football game.
You got to see the amazing Peyton Manning live in action. Lucky.
Not fit to print
It's a fricking football game – a mass entertainment. Do you honestly think it's more authentic than Idol?
American football is hardly in any position to disdain fakes and phonies of any kind, given how many F&P's they have playing and coaching the game. (Paderno/ Sandusky & PENN state most recently.)
Whatever Ryan may be personally (and I'm not that big a fan) he represents a show that sparked a national pre-occupation with the performing (i.e: effeminate) arts.
That's what they are booing.The most significant difference between Idol and football is that the first caters largely to women and second caters largely to men. The booing is an expression of disdain by one group for the other.
Heck, GLEE built a whole show around this.

Family drug dealer sentenced to federal prison
CONCORD - A Manchester man, described by federal prosecutors as a large-scale Percocet (oxycodone) dealer operating a family business supplying drugs for both his mother and grandmother to sell, was sentenced to eight months in federal prison.
Felix Rodriguez, 29, was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court on three counts of distributing oxycodone. Under sentencing guidelines, he faced 8 to 14 months in federal prison on each count. He was sentenced to eight months per charge to be served concurrently, followed by three years of supervised release.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Percocet was sold from each family member's residence in Manchester. Two confidential informants made a total of 17 drug buys from Rodriguez, his mother, Inez Rodriguez, 43, and his grandmother, Aida "Abuela" Marquez, 62.
Marquez is to be sentenced April 1.
The FBI Safe Streets Gang Task Force and the Manchester police Special Investigation Unit headed the investigation into the network, prosecutors said.
