Lent: The Prayer of St. Ephraim
March 17, 2006 Length: 1:00:27
We continue our discussion of Great Lent by reviewing, with many quotes from the Church Fathers, the famous Prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian that is used during all the weekday services. Writing in the 4th century, St. Ephraim's hymnography captures the Spirit of the Lenten Season and has been a vital standard for the Orthodox Church ever since. In its simplicity and penetrating quality we learn that we are at once helpless and in need of God's grace to overcome our sinful nature, and yet must also pursue repentance and the virtues in faith continually, to be both emptied and filled.

"As a Swedish "liker of orthodoxy," Ancient Faith Radio has brought me up-to-date information and relevant programs on the Orthodox life today. In Sweden, the Orthodox Church is merely a church for immigrants, and there isn't much information and material in Swedish. I especially like the programs on conversion, and people's stories on that subject."

Fort Worth is launching a review of its master thoroughfare plan aimed at accommodating continued suburban growth and central city redevelopment with a greater variety of streets and more efficient traffic flow.
Longtime Fort Worth businessman, philanthropist and preservationist Holt Hickman died Nov. 15, 2014, at the age of 82.
A key linchpin in the Fort Worth economy, American Airlines Group Inc., is considering sites for a new headquarters, possibly outside the city, the airline's CEO said this morning.
Residents of West Fort Worth's Crestwood Association are trying to block the rezoning of a small apartment complex at White Settlement Road and North Bailey Avenue to make way for a planned office building, saying it would represent the start of commercial encroachment into their neighborhood.
Rarely does Golf Digest make the news. Leave it to Dan Jenkins to change that.
A. Lee Graham
North Tarrant Express is ahead of schedule, with the $2.2 billion freeway improvement project 88 percent complete and expected to wrap up by year's end.
"We're at least six months ahead of schedule," said Heather DeLapp, regional public relations manager with the project.
Speaking at the 35W Coalition's Wednesday April 16 quarterly membership meeting at Texas Motor Speedway, DeLapp assured elected officials and area executives that progress continues to be made on the planned widening of North Loop 820 and Texas 121-183. The project is split into west and east segments, with the western portion between I-35W and Texas 121 and the eastern portion between Texas 121 and the city of Euless.
Since construction began in November 2009, motorists have grappled with traffic slowdowns, roadway re-routing and other headaches required for crews to bring architects' plans to fruition. Offsetting such annoyances have been benefits, DeLapp said.
According to civil engineers, the project has employed 2,100 workers from 160 local companies, spurred new economic development in the project corridor and prompted consumers to spent about $1.5 million a day in area businesses. While some businesses struggled as customers tried finding new routes to reach them, some new businesses actually opened and continue to prosper.
Still, progress has not come easily. In March, the Fort Worth City Council debated a longtime city ordinance restricting new construction of billboards. It allows such off-premise signage if they already exist but prohibits replacing them if road improvements or other government projects require their removal.
The council ultimately decided to grant an exception to the restriction to promote ongoing freeway construction.
The decision came after the Texas Department of Transportation asked the city to allow reallocating such signage within the portion of North Tarrant Express between downtown and Loop 820. Specifically, TxDOT requested the city to grant an exception to the ordinance, allowing billboards in the affected area to be relocated in another portion of industrial-zoned land along the portion of the I-35W corridor in question.
"Let's design them for the corridor. Let's make them aesthetically pleasing so that they match the corridor," said Robert Hinkle, director of corporate affairs for NTE Mobility Partners.
Asked at the meeting by former state Rep. Vicki Truitt, R-Keller, whether the ordinance boosted the project budget, and Hinkle said he did not know.
"I'm not sure," Hinkle responded in a question-and-answer session. "Its not money saved for putting billboards back in the corridor; it's money we don't spend in the right-of-way acquisition process," Hinkle said.
Project financing came via a $573 million investment from the Texas Department of Transportation, which was leveraged through $400 million in private activity bonds, $426 million in equity from NTE Mobility Partners and $650 million in loans through TIFEA (Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act), which in 1998 established a federal credit program for such transportation projects.

Ottawa to press on with troubled Cyclone helicopter purchase
The federal government has decided not to scrap its troubled purchase of CH-148 Cyclone helicopters, pressing ahead with its plan to acquire the maritime choppers to replace the decades-old CH-124 Sea Kings, which it will start retiring next year.

OTTAWA—The federal government has decided not to scrap its troubled purchase of CH-148 Cyclone helicopters.
Instead, Ottawa will go ahead with its plan to acquire the maritime choppers to replace the decades-old CH-124 Sea Kings, which it will start retiring next year.
The plan to replace the 50-year-old Sea Kings — which fly from the decks of Canadian warships — is years behind schedule, millions over its original price and is apparently beset with technical glitches.
Last year, the Public Works Department indicated it was looking at other aircraft because Cyclone manufacturer Sikorsky had delivered just four test aircraft, which National Defence has refused to formally accept.
Public Works had previously asked for an independent analysis of whether Sikorsky could deliver what it promised.
The government says that report found the program to replace the Sea Kings "would be viable with a different project structure and governance model."
A news release issued late on Friday afternoon says the air force will have fully capable Cyclone helicopters by 2018.
Public Works Minister Diane Finley said Sikorsky has agreed to deliver the new helicopters without any additional cost to the federal government.
When asked for more details, a government spokesman would only say Public Works accepts the independent analysis and referred to "negotiated Principles of Agreement with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation" that would "form the basis of formal contract negotiations that will put these recommendations into place."
Public Works also said negotiations to amend the contract with Sikorsky will begin early this year and will hopefully be concluded by the end of March.
The original contract signed with Sikorsky in November 2004 was valued at $5 billion in total — $1.8 billion was allocated for the acquisition of the choppers and $3.2 billion was for in-service support.
The value of the contract increased in 2008 to $5.3 billion, with $1.9 billion for acquisition and $3.4 billion for in-service support.
So far, Sikorsky has accrued $88.6 million in liquidated damages for its failure to meet the contract.

A warm to very warm October was tamed only by a return for more normal temperatures by the last week. The month was also very dry, Wildfires were still a problem coming into November. However, we still see winter inching it't way in a few times and November started this way along a wide strip Covering southern Alberta, Eastern Alberta and west Central sask. In a line from Lethbridge,AB to Prince Albert,SK. These areas should count on not being the driest in the pra...

(my October forecast is a bit delayed due to midterm)
After a September of extremes the month of October Is starting off on the same fall roller coaster that is ridden almost every year. Though the conditions are likely to trend more to the warm side.
Looking Back at September we saw extremes at both ends. Heavy snow early in the month snapped trees in most of Alberta, while the rest of the prairies suffered a hard frost, with temperatures dipping t...

While the summer ended on a sour note with heavy snow it was overall 1-3C warmer than normal and drier than normal in most areas. Thunderstorm patterns were stalled for most of the summer resulting in some areas getting significant damage from repeat hits, while other locations(Edmonton) failed to see a severe thunderstorm materialize at all.

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com company (NASDAQ: AMZN), today announced the winners of the first City on a Cloud Innovation Challenge. The New York City Department of Transportation, City of Asheville, London City Airport, and the City and County of San Francisco Planning Department were each awarded $50,000 in AWS credits, and application developers Azavea, Neptune Technology Group, NuCivic, and Str LLC were each awarded $25,000 in AWS credits. The eight winners were selected by AWS and a panel of worldwide experts based on the impact of their solution, likelihood of long-term success, implementation of AWS services, and the potential to help other local governments solve similar challenges. To learn more about how public sector customers are using AWS and the AWS GovCloud (US) Region, visit http://aws.amazon.com/publicsector/.
Four grand prize winners were selected for the Best Practices Award, recognizing innovative and impactful local government projects running on the AWS Cloud:
- New York City Department of Transportation – Mobile and web applications that make real-time transportation information more accessible and useful to residents and visitors, including an interactive map of city parking regulations, a pedestrian city travel planning app, and online maps of construction sites and capital projects.
- City of Asheville – Modern, cloud-based disaster recovery system to keep essential city operations up and running in the event of power outages, earthquakes, and major weather events.
- London City Airport – Traveler app that brings together real-time data from sensors, airline systems, and airport services to help passengers efficiently navigate the airport.
- City and County of San Francisco Planning Department – Website for citizens, businesses, and city employees to access detailed property information for zoning, real estate transactions, and permitting.
Four grand prize winners were selected for the Partners in Innovation Award, recognizing applications that solve local government challenges:
- Azavea (HunchLab) – Machine learning application that uses data on crime history, weather, neighborhood businesses, and other real-time information to help police departments employ "predictive policing" to forecast the likelihood of crime and redirect resources to high-risk areas.
- NuCivic (NuCivic DATA) – Open source data management platform that allows governments to make a wide range of open data sets available to the public. Civil servants can use these data sets to benchmark their cities and inform decisions and policies; developers can use them to build services and applications for citizens.
- Neptune Technology Group (N_SIGHT IQ) – Cloud-based data mart for local utility companies to leverage water usage data to better manage local resources. Utility companies have used N_SIGHT IQ to reduce local water usage and customer complaints by giving citizens the tools and information to better track and manage their water usage.
- Str LLC (ePropertyPlus) – Property inventory management system that helps cities effectively manage community revitalization efforts by aggregating and mapping data on ownership, development grants, and construction plans for vacant and abandoned properties.
"We use the cloud to increase the availability and resiliency of our applications and systems," said Cordell Schachter, CTO, New York City Department of Transportation. "It helps us provide important transportation information directly to the public and to our staff every day and during critical times."
According to Robert Cheetham, president and CEO of Azavea, "We anticipate a world in which geospatial analysis is a broad foundation upon which government, private, and non-profit organizations operate. We use AWS to work toward that vision and we are thrilled that our application, HunchLab, has been recognized through this challenge."
Government Agency Adoption
The AWS City on a Cloud Innovation Challenge winners are among the growing number of partners, government agencies, and nonprofits leveraging AWS for a wide range of applications and initiatives, including the US Department of the Navy, National Institutes of Health, Securities and Exchange Commission, the US Department of Interior, The US Food and Drug Administration, The US Department of Treasury, and the City of Melbourne. With more than 800 government agencies worldwide, AWS and its partners have made it easier than ever for government agencies to procure reliable, secure cloud infrastructure from AWS by adding several contract vehicles over the last 12 months, including US Department of Treasury Public Cloud Web Hosting Services, the Department of Interior Foundation Cloud contract, the Texas Department of Information Resources contract, and the Federal Aviation Administration's eFAST contract.
The US Department of Treasury runs its public web site, Treasury.gov, on AWS, and has made AWS services available for other agencies to purchase through the Department of Treasury Public Cloud Web Hosting Services contract. "We know that the cloud is a fantastic opportunity for government agencies to scale without limits – but within their budget constraints," said Tim Womack, Director, Enterprise Business Solutions, US Department of the Treasury. "It's very compelling for federal agencies to work with a vendor who is constantly innovating and refreshing its technology without raising prices."
AWS Customers Innovating in Education
Today, more than 3,000 education institutions, including public and private universities, community colleges, and K-12 schools and districts are leveraging AWS. The AWS Education Grants program has provided millions of dollars in AWS service credits to students and researchers, who have made advances in health and disease research, scientific computing, and applied science. In the last 12 months, AWS has supported grants to students and researchers at more than 1,000 universities in 99 countries.
AWS Education Research Grant recipient and Penn State Assistant Professor Dr. Howard Salis developed a high-performance computing platform accessible to researchers via a web portal. "The DNA Compiler was designed to change the way that genetic engineering is done by leveraging high performance cloud computing technologies to replace trial and error approaches," said Dr. Salis. "Thousands of registered users from 56 countries have designed more than 50,000 synthetic DNA sequences using the compiler. The AWS Cloud accelerates biotech research by allowing our predictive models and design methods to be immediately accessible to thousands of world-wide users who can receive useful results even before our research articles are published."
By providing a technology platform with very broad functionality and a global footprint of datacenters, AWS is helping education technology companies such as Coursera, DreamBox Learning, Echo360, LiveSchool, and Knewton, Inc. innovate and scale education applications that are changing and extending the classroom experience, introducing new techniques such as gamification and adaptive learning, and increasing communication and collaboration between educators, families, and students.
Knewton, Inc., an education technology company that personalizes digital courses, was able to launch its educational technology quickly by operating its infrastructure on AWS. The company has been able to rely on AWS as more than 3.5 million students have used its adaptive learning platform for personalized learning plans. "At the beginning of the school year, we'll see hundreds of thousands of students coming into the system all at once," said Ryan Prichard, CTO, Knewton "One of the best things about AWS is the ability to scale quickly with very little advance notice."

It looks the business relationship between Alberto Del Rio and WWE has finally come to a close, as both sides released statements today informing their fans of that. The belief is that a settlement agreement has been made backstage. Del Rio will more than likely never pursue legal action against the company for firing him, while WWE is allowing him to work for any promotion in the world that he wants to.
November 10, 2014
By now, several of you have heard about the new Lucha Underground promotion that was launched in America recently by AAA. Chavo Guerrero reportedly was given a major role backstage, and more details are now surfacing. The former WWE star is actually the one running the show behind the scenes. He is also the liaison for the promotion and the production company that is in charge of things.
November 7, 2014
Earlier this month, the Great Muta promised to attack the Rock when the former WWE star visited Japan to promote his Hercules movie. Obviously, there was no real life friction, and Muta was simply stating that to help with promotion. The Japanese legend did show up at the event, teased tension with the Rock before shaking hands and posing for pictures together.
October 19, 2014
While the backstage heat between the two sides remains at a pretty high level, it does not appear that WWE will be giving a release to Rey Mysterio any time soon. Management has started to accept that the former world heavyweight champion will not be returning to work anytime soon, but they will not let him out of his contract to help another promotion out. WWE would rather just keep him on the sidelines for the time being, especially since Mysterio has reportedly stopped cashing in their checks.
October 15, 2014
While there has not been a ton of details revealed from the deal between New Japan Pro Wrestling and Global Force Wrestling, there are reports that have surfaced that Jeff Jarrett is looking to distribute content from the overseas promotion across the United States. His ability to do that would greatly increase if he were able to secure a national television deal, which he is rumored to have been working on over the past couple of months.
October 14, 2014
Thanks to an unfortunate car accident, Reby Sky was forced to pull out of a scheduled match this upcoming weekend for an independent wrestling promotion out in Maryland. The front passenger side of her Cadillac is pretty damaged. Reby also noted that she suffered some injuries during the incident. Rumors are still floating around that she will be joining her husband, Matt Hardy, in TNA soon.
October 3, 2014
One of the most beloved commentators in professional wrestling might be back with a big promotion in a couple of months. Jim Ross has been openly lobbying to work with New Japan in their efforts to spread into the United States. Ross specifically mentioned the big January 4 pay per view as an opportunity for the two sides to get together. If a deal is agreed upon, he would fly to Tokyo to call the action in English.
October 1, 2014
Looks like Jeff Jarrett has made a major stride in the formation of Global Force Wrestling. It has now been announced that the promotion will be doing a pay per view on January 4, 2015. Since he has a business relationship with New Japan, and they do their biggest pay per view event on that day, there are speculations that Jarrett could be promoting that show as a GFW branded event in the United States.
September 30, 2014
Reports have surfaced that Prince Devitt and Kenta Kobayashi are going to be promoted to the main roster very soon. The two of them are established international stars, and management is not going to have them languishing in the developmental program. WWE knows that the promotion might upset some of the guys that have been in WWE NXT for a while, but it is a move that they want to do.
September 30, 2014
While it is something that a lot of fans had assumed was going to happen anyways, Rob Van Dam recently revealed that he will return to WWE again some day. He stated that he has earned the right to dictate his own schedule and will go back whenever he is ready. RVD also stated that he will not work for another wrestling promotion until he returns to WWE.
September 28, 2014
As some of you already know, Chavo Guerrero is key backstage figure in that new Lucha Underground promotion that was recently launched. He is already receiving criticism for his work, as many people feel that the company is making a mistake by having high flying and quick paced performers slowing down to a manner similar to what WWE uses.

Generally, when you run a nationally known wrestling promotion, you try to lock down your performers to prevent them from being hurt elsewhere. TNA was doing that for a while, but Dixie Carter had to make some changes, in order to keep her company afloat. Performers are now given a bit more freedom to work on the independent wrestling circuit to compensate for the lower paying contracts.
September 26, 2014
Rumors have spread like wildfire about the possibility of Eric Bischoff joining Jeff Jarrett in his new Global Force Wrestling promotion. The speculations were started when a picture surfaced online of the two of them, along with Karen Jarrett, hanging out together. Since Bischoff has some stroke in Hollywood, a partnership between the two sides could greatly benefit GFW.
September 21, 2014
If you watched WWE NXT Takeover last night, you know that Tyler Breeze failed to win the heavyweight championship. However, management might have something better for him. Reports have surfaced that Breeze is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster, where the cocky character will be joining the entourage of the Miz, which already features Damien Sandow.
September 12, 2014
Showing that there is life after WWE, Alberto Del Rio has announced that he will be doing a small world tour in the upcoming weeks. The former world heavyweight champion, who was recently given his release from WWE after a backstage incident, will be working shows in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Puerto Rico and Japan. The initial belief was that WWE would prevent Del Rio from working for another promotion for the next year.
September 4, 2014
There is a pay per view coming up in October called BattleGrounds MMA. Any wrestling fan watching the event will recognize a familiar voice calling the action. The promotion has signed up legendary WWE commentator Jim Ross for the show. He will be joined by recently retired UFC star Chael Sonnen for the event, which is taking place in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
September 4, 2014
It is no secret that Evan Bourne wants to work for a major wrestling promotion after being given a release from WWE. However, it is not happening in Mexico. The high flyer reportedly turned down a contract offer from AAA. There are rumors that his younger brother was offered a deal as well. The belief is that Bourne feels that the contract is too restrictive and not financially rewarding enough.
September 3, 2014
There are rumors floating around that a title change could be taking place in WWE NXT very soon. Bayley might be given the women's title during the middle part of September. Reports are floating around that Ashley Flair is on the verge of being given a promotion to the main roster in about a month, so she would need to drop the belt to someone else in developmental.
August 28, 2014
The hot rumors right now is that WWE is going to prevent Alberto Del Rio from working for another wrestling promotion in the United States for the next year. In exchange, the company will continue to pay him, even though he has been given a release. That has led fans to speculate as to how much money he will be given. The belief is that it will not be the full amount of the contract, as he will not be paid for working live events.
August 21, 2014
Everyone in the industry now knows that Alberto Del Rio and Rey Mysterio made appearances for AAA at the TripleMania pay per view. The belief is that WWE will be pursuing legal actions against the promotion, as management has been very quiet backstage about the incident. That has led many to believe that lawyers have advised them not to discuss the situation.
August 19, 2014
Fans who tune into the next episode of Monday Night Raw will get an opportunity to see Santino Marella making his return to WWE. However, it is not the long rumored permanent one. The former Intercontinental Champion has been asked to make an appearance, so that he can promote his new movie with Larry the Cable Guy, who also happens to be the guest host of Raw. Marella is still working on making an official comeback some time in 2015.
November 21, 2014
As many fans already know, Santino Marella is retired and wants to make a return to WWE next year. He is one step closer to that goal, as his physician has cleared him medically to start training his upper body after recovering from a severe neck injury. The former Intercontinental Champion stated that he is going to check his ego in at the door and start training from the very beginning. For what it's worth, WWE officials are said to be interested and open to the idea of Marella coming back.
November 3, 2014
While he no longer is burdened with the hectic WWE schedule, Santino Marella has kept himself busy. In addition to running his own wrestling school, the former Intercontinental Champion has made great strides in his personal life. It has now been revealed that Marella is now engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Anna Babij, who happens to do a little bit of fitness modeling.
October 8, 2014
By now, a lot of people are aware that Santino Marella is in the process of trying to make a comeback to professional wrestling after being forced to retire due to a severe neck injury. The former Intercontinental Champion has now revealed that he hopes to be able to make a return to WWE in about six months. The belief is that the door is open for him to come back since management views his comedic routine as an asset.
September 26, 2014
Feeling like he did not want to be forced out of the ring, Santino Marella is already working on making a comeback. The belief is that WWE wants that return to happen in their ring. The company still believes Marella to be an asset, as evident by the fact that they gave him a new three year contract a couple of months ago. No time frame has been given for the Marella return yet.
August 18, 2014
It looks like Santino Marella isn't quite ready to give up on his in ring career just yet. The former Intercontinental Champion stated that he will be undergoing surgery to repair his neck. Marella also stated that he is going to make a comeback attempt after spending a couple of months in recovery. He did not mention WWE specifically, but the belief is that the company has left the door open for him.
August 14, 2014
Since he is smart enough to know that a career in WWE doesn't last forever, Seth Rollins has wisely decided to prepare for life after his career as an in ring performer is over. The former Shield member has partnered up with an independent wrestler to start a wrestling school in Moline, Illinois. It is called the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy. Santino Marella recently did the same thing before being forced to retire from WWE due to neck injuries.
July 16, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Adam Rose is expected to replace Santino Marella as the comedy routine on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. However, those reporting on the speculation are failing to remember that Damien Sandow actually owns that role in WWE at the moment. Management is still not sold on Rose, so the chances of him being moved above Sandow isn't very high at the moment.
July 11, 2014
Since he was given time to address the audience at a live event over the weekend, many were under the impression that Santino Marella was going to be given a segment on Monday Night Raw to let the fans know of his decision to retire from WWE, especially since he was backstage at the show. Management, however, felt that it was not the right time for such a thing. No word yet on whether or not Marella will get to say farewell to his fans on television.

"Comedy wrestling is not easy. Santino Marella is one of my favorite wrestlers to watch. sad he's leaving the ring, but happy he made me smile." - Colt Cabana on Santino Marella being forced to retire from WWE due to another neck injury
July 7, 2014
When he announced his sudden decision to retire, Santino Marella teased WWE fans that he might be taking over as the new general manager of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. While the role is vacant due to the departure of Vickie Guerrero from the company, there has been no confirmation of what Marella is claiming. The belief is that he was simply teasing the audience at this point.
July 7, 2014
During a WWE live event in Toronto, Santino Marella announced to the fans in attendance that he has decided to retire from professional wrestling as an in ring performer. He revealed that he has suffered yet another neck injury and has decided that it would not be safe for his long term health to keep wrestling. Since he recently signed a long term contract extension with WWE, there is a chance that Marella could remain with the company in another capacity.
July 6, 2014
During a recent interview, Santino Marella informed the media of something that wrestling observers were already aware of. His in ring career is winding down soon. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion did leave open the possibility of staying with the company as an on screen character or as a host of a WWE Network show. To his credit, Marella has also prepared for life after the ring by opening up a wrestling school.
July 2, 2014
Those that watched Monday Night Raw this week saw an in show commercial being aired for Twisted Tea that featured Santino Marella and Adam Rose. Several of the WWE stars also posted messages on Twitter about the adult beverage. The move is viewed as being quite interesting because the company has spent years shifting their attention towards a younger audience. This product does not necessarily fit that demographic.
July 1, 2014
One of the reasons why Santino Marella worked a segment with Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter on Monday Night Raw this week was because Emma was overseas. WWE sent the diva to her home country of Australia to do some promotional work for an upcoming tour. Management really does not have a long term plan for Santino and Emma, but they like utilizing the two of them on television together.
June 11, 2014
As is usually the case with every pay per view, you can expect WWE to do last minute additions to the Extreme Rules 2014 match card. Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Curtis Axel and Ryback are expected to get the seventh match on the card. If WWE needs another filler match, then Emma, Santino Marella, Layla El and Fandango are the top candidates for that spot.

In order to fill up the arena, WWE is giving away tickets to Wrestlemania 30. Santino Marella and Emma, who have been working together on Monday Night Raw over the past several weeks, were sent around New Orleans to hand them out to lucky fans. WWE is even promoting it through YouTube, in order to drum up even more excitement for the pay per view.
April 4, 2014
WWE has announced that the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal will consists of Alberto Del Rio, Big E Langston, Big Show, Brodus Clay, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal, Justin Gabriel, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry, Miz, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Santino Marella, Sheamus, Sin Cara, Titus ONeil and Zack Ryder.

RTHK chief Roy Tang may ditch Legco TV show
Veteran politician Allen Lee suspects political motive at work; union also voices concern
Most Popular
Legco Review, one of the longest-running public affairs shows on RTHK, could be replaced in the first major shake-up of programmes since the broadcaster appointed a new chief last year.
According to a person familiar with the situation, Director of Broadcasting Roy Tang Yun-kwong proposed in a recent internal meeting that the 26-year-old show could be scrapped to make way for a one-on-one interview programme.
The idea prompted veteran politician Allen Lee Peng-fei, a host of Legco Review, to suggest there was a political motive.
It is Tang's first major move on programme arrangements since he took up his post in September last year, an appointment that was hotly criticised by station staff because he had no broadcasting background. Less than three months into his job two popular hosts of phone-in shows Open Line, Open View, and Talkabout, were told their contracts would not be renewed.
"He said Legco Review has duplicated with other public affairs programmes, such as Headliner, and wants to replace it with a new programme format like that of On the Record on TVB," the source close to RTHK said.
On the Record is a live programme produced by TVB since July in which reporters interview politicians about hot topics.
Legco Review made its debut in April 1986. It is the only TV show dedicated to reporting on the Legislative Council.
Some members of the production department had voiced counter proposals, including scrapping Police Magazine. Tang had agreed to consider this.
The chairwoman of the RTHK Programme Staff Union, Janet Mak Lai-ching, confirmed Tang's idea was discussed in a meeting.
"We did produce several one-on-one interview programmes in the past and [Tang's idea] is not something new," she said. " Legco Review has its reasons to stay because it provides the perspective our audiences expect from a public service broadcaster."
Mak said they did not oppose new programme ideas. "But it is rare for a new programme to replace an existing one abruptly."
Allen Lee urged Tang to "think thrice". "He should not give the public the impression that he is undertaking a political assignment," he warned.
An RTHK spokeswoman said: "A decision has yet to be made about which time slot to run the new programme."
Legco Review stirred controversy in 2009 when it reported on the 20th anniversary of the June 4 crackdown and compared China to the collapsed Eastern European communist bloc. RTHK later said it had no intention of advocating anti-communist views.

2.Mass media censor control is weak in HK.Movies have to examined before audiences gain access to the movies.For the same reason,why TV programmes,which are free,which are more easily accessible to the society not subject to censorship?
3.Many radio broadcast are of low quality.The talk shows hosts hosting programmes without scripts are just like gossiping,sometimes words are sharp and mean;likes raving, uneducated,talkative groups of people.Journalists are good at stirring sentiments,reluctant to praise but extremely interested in magnifying societal errors.Will it be marvelous to change the culture starting from RTHK to purify the broadcasting air-waves?RTHK is support by coffers,that the need for change is even more imminent.

Innovative ideas from entrepreneurs and scientists will eventually lead to the business plan design.
KOCHI: The Central Institute of Fisheries Technology (CIFT) here is ready to help entrepreneurs to commercialise their business ideas using the research and development back-up of the organisation.
The Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR) has selected CIFT as one among the five institutes in the country that will offer a business planning and development (BPD) unit.
Other institutes providing the facility include Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IRAI), New Delhi; Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), Izzatnagar; National Institute of Research on Jute and Allied Fibres Technology, Kolkata; and Central Institute for Research on Cotton Technology, Mumbai.
Focus on farm sector
CIFT will cater to the needs of 22 member institutes under the South zone.
"BPD unit is essentially a business incubation drive designed for agricultural sector to promote "agripreneurs" with the help of the vast research and development facilities and knowledge available with ICAR," said B. Meenakumari, Director, CIFT. She said that the objective of the unit set up here is to provide pilot level production facilities in fisheries to entrepreneurs for test marketing.
The unit will impart training for creating prospective entrepreneurs and value added manpower.
Dr. Meenakumari said that the BPD will identify promising technologies through market potential analysis and give feedback to the institutes for appropriate scaling-up, change of product-mix, and possible refinement of select technologies based on entrepreneur and end-user demands.
Business project reports will be prepared with details of technology, infrastructure, marketability and financial aspects in close association with the technology creators.
Sensitisation of potential entrepreneurs will be done through awareness programmes.
The innovative ideas from the entrepreneurs and scientists will eventually lead to the business plan design.
The BPD will assist in test marketing, market feedback analysis and technology refinement.
Support services
Support will be provided through liaison for licensing procedures/handling IPR issues, and setting up of independent enterprises until the incubate graduation.
Some of the services to be offered by CIFT under the project include air-conditioned office suites within the institute's premises for at least 10 entrepreneurs in the first phase and a pilot level product formulation facility for fish-based products with nine state-of-the-art production lines. It will also extend on-site continuous technical guidance besides providing access to modern laboratory facilities on priority basis for product testing and quality control.
