Christine Alexander and Rick Hughes report on their arts e-newsletter.
Quick-witted amateur theater cohorts Rick Hughes, 46, and Christine Alexander, 34, turned their artistic passion to publicity last summer, creating anything arts, a biweekly e-newsletter promoting the local arts scene. With a steadily growing readership and just enough ad revenue to cover Web costs, the veteran real estate agent (him) and photography studio COO (her) assemble anything arts entirely after hours-that is, when they're not producing or performing for any number of local theatrical organizations. "We're doing as many things as we can that don't pay anything," Hughes jokes.
What does anything arts cover? Rick: Anything. The Sarasota Film Society and Glenridge Performing Arts Center all the way down to the guy who does wood etchings at the farmers' market. How much has readership grown? Christine: We started with 700 e-mail addresses-Rick's friends and my friends. Now we have over 2,400 subscribers. I've even had someone call me saying, "I just had a friend in New York forward me your newsletter." What's your favorite thing you've covered so far? Rick: The SOURCE Teen Theatre's The Day I Opened My Eyes, through Planned Parenthood, [which will be] culminating in a production for Congress in January 2007. What's next? Christine: We have 200 people ready to receive e-mail from anythingfood.com. Rick: And soon friends of ours will be doing something similar to cater to the gay community-although "anything gay" was taken. -Hannah Wallace

Dining off the beaten track with Bob Ardren.
There's something almost mystical about smoky barbecued ribs on the Fourth of July. They're so very, very American.
Now, everybody has heard the tales about the origins of barbecue-how the sauce covered up the flavor of old meats, much as it did in early French cuisine-and some still insist it takes an African-American to do 'cue right. But that isn't what we found in Sarasota. There are some fine smoky ribs to be had in our community, and they're produced by both black and white cooks.
And, unfortunately, the opposite is true, too.
We know because we're still licking our fingers from Sarasota's annual and totally unofficial rib-off. We called up the clan of a dozen or so of our Thanksgiving regulars-nice guys, delightful women, all knowing good food-and told them it was time for a rib-off. Just bring a couple of rib dinners, we said (that way we'll all have some good sides), from your favorite ribbery and gather at our friend Rob's home, a beautiful spot right next door to the Sarasota Succulent Gardens.
We had ribs from as far away as Hickory Hollow in Ellenton and also from just about every rib outlet in Sarasota-no side-of-the-road stands allowed, though, only ones our readers could easily locate.
We commenced to eat those ribs, and we commenced to grade those ribs-and especially good sides were noted, too. Here's what we found:
Different folks like different things.
For example, Timmy, who arrived with Jack's 24-foot travel trailer behind his pickup truck (it's a long story), was less than charmed to have to hunt up Hickory Hollow's ribs en route from Tampa. But you should have heard him crow when he tasted them. Smokey's was a close second, he announced, but with Hickory Hollow he'd definitely found a new rib place.
Rob, our host, completely agreed.
Jack, on the other hand, preferred the smaller and drier ribs from J&L, "strictly because of the wonderful mustard sauce," he said. And Jeff, on the other hand, seemed to love the one he was with-he changed his rankings several times as he tasted new choices, finally settling on Smokey's, followed by The Oaks.
Glenna also preferred the drier style from The Oaks but, interestingly, saved most of her praise for the side of fried okra from J&L. As good as she ever had, she said, as she went back for thirds.
Likewise, Cathy had to be reminded she was judging ribs, because she kept praising the black-eyed peas thick with smoky flavor from Hickory Hollow. The big rib winners for her were the Hickory Hollow ribs, followed by Northern/Southern Food Express and Jamaica Me Ribs.
Stan just ate and ate, building up a big pile of bones on his plate before declaring not only were the Jamaica Me Ribs the best of the bunch (followed by Smokey's), but their sweet potatoes mashed with bananas and sprinkled with pecans was the side to remember.
That led to a general rush back into the house by everyone to sample this unique and, it turns out, extremely tasty recipe. It ended up winning "best of show" side dish by popular acclamation.
Adele, who's been trying to move back to her native Toronto for years, admitted good Southern ribs were one of the things keeping her in Sarasota. And, she added, those from Hickory Hollow were her favorites. But to tell the truth, she even liked the ribs from Sonny's-which were pretty dry and bland in most other people's judgment.
The good beer and wine kept flowing.
Paul never sat down. He just kept circling the big table inside, sampling this rib and that side and refilling his wine glass for what seemed like hours. Maybe that's because it was a couple of hours.
By the time the sun went down, it was agreed most of us preferred the moist, tender and full-of-flavor ribs from (in no real order): Smokey's BBQ & Grill, 4015 N. Lockwood Ridge Road (rib dinner $10.95 with two sides); Jamaica Me Ribs, 2045 Bahia Vista in Midtown Plaza ($6.79 for two-rib dinner), and Hickory Hollow, 4705 U.S. 301 N., Ellenton ($12.95 for the large rib dinner-and worth the road trip. In fact, USA Today declared in May that Hickory Hollow was No. 3 on its Top 10 list of barbecue joints-in the whole country).
Second-tier ribs included The Oaks Open Pit Bar-B-Que, 6112 S. Tamiami Trail ($9.95 for a rib dinner); J&L Barbeque, 1512 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. (rib dinner $10.95 and overall winner of best sauce for James West's special mustard blend); Northern/Southern Food Express, 3430 N. Tamiami Trail; and Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q, 3925 S. Tamiami Trail.
So you've got plenty of choices for your ribs while celebrating this Fourth of July. And isn't that what living in a democracy is all about?
Art Buzz
Inside the visual arts with Mark Ormond.
The Ringling Museum may have to increase the insurance value of its Frans Hals Portrait of Pieter Olycan, which hangs in the museum's Dutch gallery. At the European Art Fair in Maastricht, Holland, Swiss dealer David Koetser sold a different Hals' Portrait of Pieter Jacobsz Olycan, priced at $12.5 million. It had been bought by Koetser's father as a Hals in 1967 for 52,500 pounds sterling (about $100,000) and disattributed in the 1970s, but now is recognized as an autograph work. The Ringling's Hals portrait was always a personal favorite of John Ringling; he paid more than $100,000 for it in 1927 and kept it in his New York apartment for many years.
Some amazing jades from the collection of Dr. Helga Wall-Apelt (recently promised to the Ringling Museum) were placed on view in the Astor cream salon there recently. At the opening March 30, Wall-Apelt suggested that those present "leave gold coins in front of the Buddha" to help support the museum as she lauded its importance; the crowd laughed, but she was serious. It's good that the new curator of collections at the Ringling, Stephen Borys, has reconnected with former colleague Charles Mason, now curator of Asian art at the Harn Museum in Gainesville, since Borys is responsible for finding a curator for the Asian collection donated by Wall-Apelt; stay tuned.
Gallery 12 at the Ringling Museum became Chevy Chase's VIP room at the Sarasota Film Festival opening night party. John Chamberlain's relief sculpture acted as a huge party decoration over the champagne bar. Joseph Jacobs, curator of modern art at the Ringling in the late '80s, wrote the modern section of the seventh edition of Janson's History of Art, released in March… Annie Solomon hosted the Sarasota art crowd after son Mike's opening at Greene Contemporary. Two guests in from New York were James Salomon, associate director of Mary Boone Gallery, and Ned Smyth, a sculptor represented by Holly Solomon for many years. Guest Christine Desiree said she's been asked to submit a proposal for developer and art patron Jorge Perez's Oasis in Fort Myers; Perez is choosing 30 west coast Florida artists for this residential project. Michael Velliquette, who grew up in Bradenton and now lives in San Antonio, where he makes film-based work and collage, is now represented by DCKT Gallery in New York; he was showing new work at the PULSE art fair in New York in March. April Budd Thurber was in Chicago in May with her mother, Corcaita Bowes, to see an exhibition of work by her father, David Budd, at McCormick Gallery. The catalogue essay was written by Roy Slade, retired president of Cranbrook in Michigan, who now lives in Clearwater.
Students were protesting the Vietnam War the first time Derek Bok became president of Harvard University. Now, with another war raging and Bok back in the president's seat on an interim basis, he finds students and professors far less engaged, and not just in politics. Bok rails against apathy in education in his latest book, Our Underachieving Colleges. And now this 10-year Longboat Key snowbird finds himself in a position to put some of his theories to work.
After the controversial tenure of Larry Summers, who was forced to resign after commenting that women aren't as scientifically minded as men, do you feel pressured to right the Harvard ship? People express condolences and regard me as some kind of martyr. I don't look at it like that; it's a real treat to come back and play a modest role to help Harvard regain its momentum and also to engage with issues I care about. The faculty is debating changes in the undergraduate program and the curriculum, and that's a subject on which I've just written a book. It's a nice coincidence.
Why are our colleges underachieving? At a time when we need to increase the quality of our education, colleges are falling significantly short in improving the basic skills and knowledge of students. Universities give lectures to passive audiences, the examinations don't normally test for critical thinking, which means students don't study for that, and the feedback is skimpy and late in coming. The methods are simply not well geared to the objective.
Florida schools have started requiring high school students to pick a major. Good idea? Real progress depends on how we teach the students, not what courses they take. I would not introduce majors except maybe in schools where it's vocationally necessary. I'd concentrate more on challenging students to think and solve problems instead of absorbing large quantities of information which they go on to forget with frightening speed.
You were Harvard president during the Vietnam War, and now president during Iraq. What's the difference in the collegiate atmosphere? The students were extremely angry and rebellious over the Vietnam War. There is nothing comparable with this war. The key difference is we do not have compulsory military service. If students today felt that they had a good chance of being drafted and sent to Iraq, you'd have the same tensions you had then.
What do you do when you're in Sarasota? We enjoy Burns Court Cinema, walking up and down the beach, and the sculptures and exhibits. And we go to a few operas and classical concerts. -Kim Hackett

The New Sarasota
Wireless snarls, and the parking crisis gets personal.
By Kim Hackett
Wireless snarls and the parking crisis get personal.
Sarasota may be one of the top wireless cities in the country, but it's not much use if people don't know about it.
It's been two years since the county installed the first wireless link at Selby Library and gradually expanded to a chunk of downtown and the bayfront. The link allows people with laptops, Blackberrys and certain types of phones to access the Internet.
Intel gave the city a nod last year by naming it the 91st most wireless city in the country. But if you're from out of town or still browsing the Internet with a clunky laptop, the city's wireless ring isn't much use. There aren't any signs promoting Sarasota Unplugged-the name of the free network-so you have to know it's there. And it doesn't penetrate walls, so you're forced to use it outdoors, not always convenient in the hot Florida sun.
Limiting it to outdoor use was by design, says the county's chief information officer, Bob Hanson. "We didn't want to compete with private vendors. We wanted it to fill public spaces," Hanson says.
Maybe it's my laptop, or the construction downtown, but I found the Sarasota Unplugged service spotty. First of all, I wasn't hungry enough to head for lunch at one of the outdoor cafés, which would have made it a bit more comfortable to browse, so I was forced to walk around with my laptop open on Main Street, hoping to snag a signal.
Computers with wireless modems search for a wireless network signal, similar to a cell phone, but logging on is not automatic. Your computer will give you a list of available networks from which to choose. Unless you know it's called Sarasota Unplugged, there's no way to tell which network belongs to the county. Downtown there are dozens of private networks people haven't bothered to secure. It's unethical to use someone else's network, and it's dangerous because you risk getting a computer virus or having your computer hacked.
The early afternoon glare made it impossible to see the screen clearly, so I retreated to my car.
Once you select Sarasota Unplugged, it's easy to get on. Depending on your computer, you just click on the network, sign in and you're home free.
Network officials say the service isn't designed for people like me with outmoded communications such as a laptop.
"It's not designed for today's technology," says Dan Miller, president of 82 Degrees Tech, a local organization aimed at promoting technology. "In the next generation, there are going to be Wi-Fi clips" built into all kinds of devices, "like a Dick Tracy watch."
Unfortunately, I couldn't wait for a Dick Tracy watch; I wanted my e-mail now. But unlike the tourists, at least I knew about the network. Miller admits they need better marketing than word-of-mouth.
"No one is promoting it," Miller says. "We're working on a sponsorship of the network to promote its existence."
A new tower will soon be installed on top of The Ritz-Carlton to provide better coverage, and within a year it will expand to cover Siesta Key Beach, Lido Beach and east of I-75. Eventually, the county would like to have service at all the libraries and the rest of the county.
"Our next challenge is, how do you get people who can't afford a computer to have access?" Miller says. "We're working on a business plan to solve that issue."
Unlike the number of spaces, there's no shortage of opinions on the downtown parking situation. With the Palm Avenue/Main Street parking lot long gone, a city lot giving way to the Pineapple Square project, and the Hollywood 20 outdoor lot now costing $3 for non-patrons, visitors have to lap around Main Street to find a free two-hour space. It's become a competitive sport for anyone who lives or frequents downtown.
"You've gotta know where to park and where they don't cite you," says Tom Coler, a real estate broker and Embassy resident since 1977. Coler declines to reveal his parking secrets for "competitive" reasons.
It's not just the lack of parking spots, but the two-hour limit that discourages downtown shopping. If you're having a business lunch, it's not a problem, but if you want to shop and take your time, you'd better be ready to pony up $7.50 for a parking ticket.
City Manager Mike McNees says he's received one complaint in six years about the city's two-hour limit in some spots on Main Street. The parking policy is supposed to discourage downtown employees from taking all the visitor spots. "There's a lot on Second Street where you can go if you want to park longer," McNees says.
But how is a visitor (or a hapless columnist) to know that? Well, yes, McNees admits, we could do a better job directing people with signs.
I found this all out the hard way.
I was making the rounds downtown, doing research and supporting the local economy to boot. I spent $3.50 at Latitude for a chai, met my hubby for lunch at C'est La Vie, where we dropped about $30, then it was off to Lotus to meet owner Wendy Getchell. We chatted about parking, while I spied on the sexy new shoes in her shop.
"I wish people would stop talking about the problem of parking," Getchell told me as I tried on a half-dozen stilettos and wedges (it's not easy finding a size 10). "Sixty thousand people come here for an art festival on the weekends, and they manage to find a place to park."
After I left her shop with a pair of $80 shoes, I got in my car and, with it running, decided to check my e-mail. Then my cell phone rang; it was a source I'd been trying to reach all day. With my laptop perched on my lap and my arms scrunched up so I could type, I looked in my rearview mirror to find that a meter dude was writing me a ticket.
According to his scribbles on my tire, I was about 10 minutes beyond the two-hour mark. That prompted a little research; I found I'm not alone, just whinier than the average ticket recipient. In 2004, the city police wrote 25,000 parking tickets citywide; in the first three months of this year, they wrote about 12,000, a pace that's close to double.
"I'd say they're up," says Jay Frank, Sarasota police spokesman, who insists there's no way to break it down month-by-month for an accurate comparison.
Even Tony Souza, the new executive director of the Downtown Partnership, got a ticket his first day on the job.
The problem, of course, is only going to get worse as the First United Methodist Church lot becomes a 13-story condo and the Hollywood 20 lot goes condo, too.
The message downtown is sending: Yes, we want you to come down here instead of the mall and spend your money, but don't take too long doing it.

Looks fine "but" the splitters of course need to be the green labeled type and the power passing port "is the other one".Hi VOS! Quick question for you ....
I'm setting up a DirecTV installation for a friend that's moving into a small house with an existing Slimline5 (non-SWM) dish. The dish currently only has two coax cables connected to the wiring box outside the garage. Fortunately each room is home run to that wiring box outside the garage. I will upgrade the LNB to SWM using one of the existing satellite cables to the wiring box. My friend only wants to have one HD DVR (Living Room) and one HD Receiver (Bedroom), ideally with WHDVR service.
Does this diagram look good? Thanks!
If this is merely in the drawing and not how you plan to set things up, then you're good to go.
Where's internet coming from?

Taylor's video for We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together debuts tomorrow on all the various MTV channels (CMT, MTV, VH1), but today we get our very first glimpse of what the video will look like.
Taylor also has a new interview in Rolling Stone magazine's September 13th issue. In it she talks about musical collaborations and love.
"I know general things about love," she says. "How to treat people well, what you deserve and when to walk away. Other than that, love is a complete mystery – and that's why I like to write about it."
She also says about buying a house near the Kennedy family in Massachusetts, "That would be so amazing." Unfortunately that's all she said on that subject, at least that's all that appears online.
Check out the rest of the interview in the September print edition of Rolling Stone or part of it online here.

With so many apple varieties on the market, some suppliers are convinced older varieties could start to dry up in today's competitive marketplace.
Growers agree galas are high in popularity right now.
"Galas are the bread and butter of our apple industry," said Atomic Torosian, co-owner of Crown Jewels Produce LLC, Fresno, Calif. "It's just the way it is right now, and I think that trend is going to continue."
"We are seeing galas as the No. 1 apple in terms of dollar sales, contributing over 27% of the apple category," said Howard Nager, vice president of marketing for Domex Superfresh Growers, Yakima, Wash. Those statistics reflect last year's apple season.
Another favorite is the Honeycrisp variety.
"There are tons of new varieties, but the Honeycrisp seems to continue to perform. People continue to ask for them, so they're certainly the shining star," said Fred Hess, president of Hess Bros. Fruit Co., Leona, Pa.
The excitement that varieties such as Honeycrisp create with consumers can certainly help increase sales, but there may come a point at which those sales are taking away sales from other varieties instead of just adding new customers.
"I think new varieties create some new apple customers, but also, sooner or later, they start to rob from other varieties," Hess said, adding that reds and golds may have started to see a slight decline.
"You hope you are growing the category, and I think we are, but the more varieties, the more you spread the sales out," he said.
Still, Hess doesn't expect to see any variety disappear.
"I don't feel we have any that will fall by the wayside," he said.
On the other hand, other growers think some varieties may be phased out.
"Golden and red delicious used to be a staple, but more of those are being pulled out. Their shelf space used to be the majority, but now those are a row, at most, in a 12-row display," said Ken Korson, sales and marketing for North Bay Produce Inc., Traverse City, Mich.
Others that may be seeing a decline are the rome and idared.
"Those have been around for a long time, but they have never wowed anyone like the Honeycrisp," said Lee Peters, vice president of sales and marketing for Fowler Bros. Inc., Wolcott, N.Y.
"They are both good apples, and they have enjoyed a good place in apple business, but people are starting to pick up ones that eat better," Peters said.

FCC Proposed Rules from SHVERA
Posted 08 February 2005 - 12:37 PM
Since those of us who are satellite junkies are the most interested about this issue, the lions share of consumer input on this issue will probably be from us. Maybe our feedback can help them improve the list before it is finalized.

having said that, I think that the satellite companies will come on board. They are not as willing to add StanDef channels as of late. Allowing for SV channels is one way to attract more people on the edge of DMAs to go with satellite.
Posted 08 February 2005 - 12:47 PM
"Based on the short time frame mandated by the SHVERA for publication of the SV List, as well as the legislative history, we believe that Congress intends for satellite carriers to make use of the SV List to expand their carriage offerings so that their subscribers can begin to experience the benefits of the SHVERA as soon as possible. We are confident that the SV List appended to this Notice has a high degree of accuracy and, therefore, believe that both cable and satellite carriers may rely on its validity to commence service, consistent with the other requirements set out in the SHVERA and this proceeding, prior to the adoption of a final list. "
Posted 08 February 2005 - 01:49 PM
Good question. Actually, the way this list reads, the significantly viewed stations INCLUDE those within the market. For example, Rankin (and Hinds) County reads as follows:
WLBT-TV 3 Jackson, MS
WJTV-TV 12 Jackson, MS
WAPT-TV 16 Jackson, MS
+WDBD-TV 40 Jackson, MS
All these stations are in the Jackson market which Rankin definitely belongs to. I figured that if this list only included out-of-market SV stations, the Hinds and Rankin lists should say "no significantly viewed stations in this county".
Given this pattern, why doesn't Lauderdale county (Meridian) NOT show its own NBC and CBS affiliates? Why doesn't the ABC in Tupelo/Columbus show in Chickasaw county, where the tower and city of license reside?
My point here is that, the way the list appears to be assembled, the stations I mentioned earlier should be significantly viewed in their own market. They would receive at least 3% of the total viewing in their markets. The stations may not be signficantly viewed outside of their market. However, having them omitted completely indicates a problem with the overall list IMHO.
From the look of the stations listed, they may predate DMA type market listings. Remember this list was started in 1972 and some of the old channels may appear when there is no current need for them to appear, because they are in the DMA as your local channels now. They do not need the Significantly Viewed status. You already get them if they elected to be carried.
Posted 08 February 2005 - 02:11 PM
For example in Knox County, IN, they should get Evansville channels 7, 9, 14, 25, and 44, not just 7. While Vincennes is closer to Evansville, they are in the Terre Haute DMA (which I have never understood why Terre Haute would get higher Nielsen ratings than Evansville stations would in that county keeping Knox County out of Evansville's DMA).
Posted 08 February 2005 - 02:20 PM
What are these lists based on? I know that some of the Illinois and Indiana stations watch more significantly viewed than what is listed and cable carries more than this.
For example in Knox County, IN, they should get Evansville channels 7, 9, 14, 25, and 44, not just 7. While Vincennes is closer to Evansville, they are in the Terre Haute DMA (which I have never understood why Terre Haute would get higher Nielsen ratings than Evansville stations would in that county keeping Knox County out of Evansville's DMA).
Significantly viewed status is only acheived by OTA reception figures.
The Terre Haute thing may be because of WTWO(NBC) and WTHI(CBS) being there for long time.
Posted 08 February 2005 - 02:20 PM
You shouldn't lose any channels. The significantly viewed list is only optional (for the satellite companies) and additive.
In other words, D* and E* are generally allowed to offer:
All full-power broadcast stations from your market
All stations from the significantly viewed list
Any other station for which D*/E* can get a waiver from the in-market station that would provide competition
One strangeness I found in the list: In California, El Dorado County East (South Lake Tahoe) has no SV stations, but the comment "Over 90% cable penetration" appears in its place. That factoid doesn't surprise me, but what does the "90% cable penetration" mark have to do with the new SV rules?
One challenge to the list's accuracy: The FCC apparently forgot about the creation of Broomfield County, CO
Posted 08 February 2005 - 02:53 PM
The 90% cable penetration comment probably says there are no measurable OTA ratings in that area since they are less than 10% of the total.
Posted 08 February 2005 - 03:20 PM

Agreed. I just figure that the FCC should be consistent.
I did notice that WABG ABC6 and WXVT CBS15 in the small Greenwood-Greenville market do appear as SV in a few counties outside of their market. Given this, there is a small possibility that maybe a county or two might qualify for one or more of the missing stations. The best example is Yazoo County, just about 20 miles north of the missing Vicksburg FOX. I would guarantee you that WUFX qualifies to be added to their list according to the established standards. Dish Network considers the county in Jackson market, but DirecTV counts it in Greenwood-Greenville. Once DirecTV releases their locals, Yazoo county DirecTV locals subscribers wouldn't get the SV FOX station unless it is added to the list.
Posted 08 February 2005 - 03:36 PM
Lake and Porter are in the Chicago IL DMA. LaPorte is also in the Chicago DMA, but two of South Bend's stations are on THE LIST in LaPorte county.Are Lake and Porter Counties in the South Bend DMA? If so the answer is here.
One has to ask how did they get those stations, since this is the list they are supposed to be working from?
Indianapolis and Lafayette stations and subscribers should enjoy this.
THE LIST opens up WLFI to four more Indiana counties than their DMA.
WTTV is on THE LIST for many counties. It's not perfect and isn't final, but it is a big step in the right direction!
Posted 08 February 2005 - 09:16 PM
At least I'll be getting FOX/NBC locally instead of having to watch NY...now if Directv would only offer my locals..
Posted 08 February 2005 - 10:00 PM
I also noticed the list includes Canadian and Mexican stations. This gives DBS the ability to transmit these within the country with just normal copyright payments?
I sure hope so... the thing I miss most about dropping cable was not getting CBC from Canada anymore. Most of the cable companies in southeast Michigan carry CBC, but neither Dish nor DirecTV carry it.
Of course there's really only two things I watch on CBC - the olympics (they actually show the sports and not the sob stories), and hockey... and we all know how much hockey I'm missing this year...
Posted 08 February 2005 - 10:03 PM
Posted 08 February 2005 - 10:30 PM
Eventually and maybe.So when is Dish going to offering the new stations out of market and will they be able to get those on the dish you have now?
The way the NPRM was worded, the FCC is "confident" about their list and seems to expect the satellite providers to begin their efforts to offer the extra channels to customers. Anyone taking that leap would have to trust that the FCC rules in the NPRM would be close enough to the final rules that the satellite providers don't have to back off on any plans.
Satellite providers are required to give 60 day notice to ALL stations in the market where each SigViewed station will be offered (not just the station of the same network in the FCC's interpretation). That puts the very first possible SigViewed offering 60 days away from whenever a satellite provider notifies the affected stations. That pretty much puts this into mid April *AT THE EARLIEST*.
Will you need a new dish? Probably not ... E* will probably not offer stations AS SigViewed unless they are on Dish500. Especially with the initial rollouts.
Posted 08 February 2005 - 10:48 PM
I have to agree with Gary again
Posted 08 February 2005 - 10:59 PM
Most channels that will be offered as SigViewed are already up serving their own markets. It isn't a question of taking up more space ... just turning them on to more customers.Offering additional channels would just cost the satellite companies more money particularly in the smaller markets since they would have to pay more to get you your locals so I do not see the satellite companies rushing to get these channels to you unless your in a market that does not get all your network channels so they can charge you the full rate. This would also take up space from getting additional markets added.
The only places I see it requiring adding channels is in markets that are not yet uplinked at all. For example, Lafayette Indiana. They are a market with one TV station that up to this point would be a hard sell. With SHVERA allowing the Indianapolis and Terre Haute stations as SigViewed it is a saleable market. Not bad to be able to uplink one more channel and get $5+ per customer in the market for the trouble.
But the first SigViewed will be existing channels opened to more viewers. No extra bandwidth required.
Posted 09 February 2005 - 11:34 AM
Also, with a good outside antenna, WISH 8, WTHR 13, and WXIN 59 can be received from most of the counties in the Terre Haute DMA so I don't know why those aren't listed.
Posted 09 February 2005 - 01:27 PM
IIRC there is a threshold (3%?) of population that must watch the channel OTA (not via satellite or cable) to qualify it as Significantly Viewed. Yes, a good antenna can get it. But do at least 3% of the TV viewers in your county watch those channels?Also, with a good outside antenna, WISH 8, WTHR 13, and WXIN 59 can be received from most of the counties in the Terre Haute DMA so I don't know why those aren't listed.
This is where data is needed. Nelson information showing that at least 3% of a county or smaller community within a county watch a particular channel. Present that data to the FCC and get the channel added to the list!
(Obviously that places the burden on the stations who have access to the data on a community by community level.)
Posted 09 February 2005 - 01:59 PM
On cable vs. satellite: there are examples out there where even with SigViewed, local cable companies will offer extra/different broadcast stations than DBS will be allowed to deliver. Examples:
- Comcast delivers WBZ and WSBK in Northhampton, MA
- Cox carries WGBY, WDMR, WWLP, and WGGB in Windsor Locks, CT
- Charter in South Lake Tahoe, CA carries Reno nets and KGO out of SFO, even though it's technically in the Sacremento market, and "significantly viewed" is undefined there.
- The fun of Lee Vining, CA is left as an exercise for the reader.
I've suggested that when evaluating whether a station is "significantly viewed" for a potential subscriber, that the rule be:
- The station is in-market to the consumer; or
- The station achieves a minimum viewing level within the consumer's community (i.e., the current definition of sv); or
- The consumer is within the station's Class B contour; or
- The station is the geographically closest network affiliate for its network to the consumer if there is no network affiliate within that market; or
- The station is already available to a consumer if they were to subscribe to a competing cable or DBS system.
That's still more restrictive than what I'd like to have (unrestricted distant nets), but I think it's saner/fairer than what's been proposed.
If I can get a station OTA with an antenna, D*/E* should be allowed to deliver it to me. If I can get it on my local cable system, D*/E* should be allowed to deliver it to me. If I can get it on D* or E*, my local cable system should be allowed to deliver it to me. And if there isn't a local WB station, Cable, D*, or E* should be free to let me subscribe to an out-of-market affiliate.
Feel free to plagiarize those ideas when commenting to the FCC.

Tom Karst, National Editor"Drop the drugs. Keep the grapefruit."
I love that reader comment after a Toronto Globe and Mail story about another warning about the interaction of grapefruits with modern medicine. By the way, haven't we heard this song before?
Grapefruit has been taking public relation hits from researchers since 1989 on the effects of the fruit and its juices on prescription meds.
Looking in library of The Packer, I was somewhat surprised to find this news item from a Packer story in 1996. It read:
"Grapefruit could change the way we take prescription drugs in the future. University of Michigan scientists are studying how the fruit helps the human body absorb medicine more efficiently.
"Grapefruit juice has been found to increase the body's ability to absorb many common medications, including blood pressure drugs."
Trying to create a positive spin on grapefruit's interaction with medicines was an attempt to make lemonade out of the bitter news, perhaps.
But that complicated, mind-bending approach probably won't stand in face of such dire warnings that we are seeing publicized now in Canada.
The Globe and Mail story reports a warning from the Canadian Medical Association that states eating a grapefruit or consuming its juices while taking a wide range of prescription medications could soon lead to "gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney failure, depressed breathing and sudden death."
What's more, the article implicates other citrus, including seville oranges, limes and pomelos, but researchers note "they aren't as well-studied."
Old people take medicine, and the perception is that mostly old people eat grapefruit. For grapefruit growers, that's a market-killing combination.
Medical warnings, freezes, citrus canker, citrus greening and more medical warnings.
Not surprisingly, the per capita consumption of grapefruit in the U.S. has fallen off the kitchen table.
Check it out: The per capita consumption of all grapefruit was 19.7 pounds in 1976, including 9.3 pounds for fresh and 10.4 pounds of fruit used for grapefruit juice.
By 1995, the per capita consumption of grapefruit slid to 16.3 pounds, with 6 pounds consumed fresh and 10.3 pounds of farm weight grapefruit used for grapefruit juice.

Braun's Big Day
Baseball, Shop May 5th, 2009
Yesterday I had my first softball game of the season. It was a win for The People's Champs so that was nice, but words can't really describe how tired and sore I am. Maybe I should re-think this whole Miller Park Drunk, drinking beer and eating delicious foods lifestyle (pause for laughter). Yesterday was a pretty big day for me, but it really pales in comparison to the day of Ryan Braun.

I checked out an e-book from the library the other day (my first e-book checkout!) titled the "100 Most Significant Events in American Business." It has been an interesting read.
It made me ponder the overlap between Quentin Skrabec's book and the "100 most significant events for the American produce business."
There will be many events that overlap between general business and the produce business. Here are a few that caught my eye from Skracbec's book:
Revolution, famine and immigration (1848)
Western Union Telegraph Company (1851)
Transatlantic cable (1857)
Transcontinental railroad completed (1869)
First commercial telephone (1877)
Henry Ford wins race of the century (1901)
Income tax (1913)
Panama Canal opens (1914)
Hoover Dam (1931)
First Credit Card (1950)
First Walmart and Kmart open (1962)
First customer scan of a bar code (1977)
For the produce industry, transportation and growing/handling/packing technology have got to figure heavily in any "most significant" list.
From The Packer's Century of Produce publication, here are just a few selected personalities among the "100 who made a difference" between 1893 and 1993:
Harvey A. Baum: As an executive with The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., Harvey Baum introduced fresh fruits and vegetables -- and also packaged produce -- to the chain-store system. And he used his influence to encourage the growth of large scale agriculture production through cooperatives. He is credited as being the first to use refrigerated cases and mirrored displays in stores. In the 1920s,
Baum expanded the offerings through 17,000 A&P Red Front stores beyond hardware items like potatoes and onions and, for the next 30 years, supervised the annual sale of more than 100,000 carlot equivalents of fresh fruits and vegetables. In 1927, Baum worked with Florida shippers and packaged oranges in 8-pound bags for A&P. The bagging of apples and other Florida citrus followed soon after. He supervised the openings of packaging plants in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida. In order to create suppliers to handle A&P's large volume, Baum formed grower cooperatives. He began his career with A&P as a produce buyer in 1920. By 1925 he had organized the Atlantic Commission Co. Baum worked his way up from general manager to president and finally to an executive position with A&P until his retirement in 1954. That same year, the 65-year-old Baum became president of Consolidated Growers Exchange, a position he held into the 1960s.

Building Details
Burling Library, designed by Walter A. Netsch, Jr., of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, was built in 1959. Named for Mrs. Lucy Burnham Burling of Eldora, Iowa, the new building replaced Carnegie Hall as the college's main library. The renovation and expansion of Burling Library to 60, 739 square feet took place in 1982-1983 under the direction of Ben Weese, of Weese Seegers Hickey Weese, Ltd. of Chicago, whose design doubled the study and shelf space available in the original building. Dennis Langley was the project manager for Weese Seegers Hickey Weese, and Donald O. Rod served as the librarian-consultant. Burling Library is nationally recognized for its creative and comfortable study areas. There are attractive reading areas on the first and second floors, as well as study carrels throughout the building.

'Nashville' episode 3 airs tonight, but if you missed last week's episode or you're just struggling to remember all the things that happened, here is my recap!
Juliette Barnes continued to pester Deacon to finish writing their song and to join her on tour – whilst refusing to tour with her they did continue their love affair, which was kicked into high gear by Juliette gifting Deacon a 1938 Martin guitar, worth $50,000. Rayna decides to do a small, intimate tour to cut costs, just her and Deacon out on the road like they used to. However, they were dating back then and Rayna has to come to terms with whether it's a good idea, considering she seems to still have feelings for him.
Teddy continues his run for Mayor, and he and Rayna have to undergo an interview from people working for Lamar, to perhaps uncover anything unfavorable about their past that might be a hindrance to his image during the election. We discover that Coleman, Teddy's opponent and previously working with Lamar, was dropped after the him and the latter disagreed on a political policy and it is left wide open for other drama to follow.
Meanwhile, Watty White, legendary producer, approaches Scarlett and Gunnar to record a demo under him. Scarlett struggles to make up her mind because of her boyfriend Avery's jealousy, but eventually Gunnar convinces her to give it a try. It is clear that Gunnar is in love with Scarlett but she's too wrapped up in Avery to notice, despite many people assuming they are a couple.
Juliette falls more and more in love with Deacon, whilst Deacon and Rayna's feelings for each other begin to reignite after an emotional surprise performance together in the Bluebird Cafe. Under the influence of Deacon, Juliette also wants to record more serious music than the teenybop stuff her record label is keen on promoting and rejects her latest music video which encompasses that. I can see an interesting but complicated love triangle blooming!
Episode 3 of the hit show proves to be ever more dramatic and explosive, so watch it tonight on ABC at 10/9c.

For me personally, the Winter Meetings are as much about seeing old friends as anything else. It may sound cliché, but there truly is a "baseball family." While the Meetings are conducted, I'm also attending the Public Relations Meetings, which span three days. These are my people! While we work for competing teams, we are part of a fraternity. As a group, we share the same challenges and goals. Everything that affects the image of our franchise, we take personally. And if we don't, then we're in the wrong business.
We discussed many issues that impact our universe. Dan Halem from MLB's Labor Relations Department spoke to us about the new basic agreement. Kevin Sullivan, the ex-White House communications chief, addressed the group about social media, building a message and how players can avoid embarrassing pratfalls in the media. Joe Torre, now executive VP of Baseball Operations for the League, and his aide Peter Woodfork provided an update on umpires, and how meticulous their office is in quality control, how high umpires consistently score under any matrix used, and also emphasized that the Men in Blue are human beings, just like the rest of us.
Yet perhaps the most interesting – and yes, even heart-warming – exchange came from national baseball journalists Ken Rosenthal and Jon Heyman, who joined the PR directors to discuss how they view this phenomenon called Twitter. First, what they said that was interesting. Rosenthal, the former Baltimore Sun reporter who now stars on multiple FOX Sports platforms, opened the session by expressing some regrets about the rapid evolution that has seen Twitter totally reshape the media business and how consumers' habits have changed. "It's where we break news now," said a reluctant Rosenthal, shrugging his shoulders. "It has its good and bad points." While recognizing the immediacy provided by Twitter, Rosenthal also said he agonizes over the fact that the two-source rule that used to be the industry standard in deciding to run a story has pretty much been tossed asunder. One source and it's tweeted in a New York second. And that goes for the veteran scribes, who know that, in their industry, if you "lose" in the tweet posting game – even by one or two minutes – you finish behind the competition. Rosenthal said there are many more mistakes made, himself included, in what he described as "a lessening of standards" in the media business. Heyman, who just left Sports Ilustrated to take a position with CBSSportsline.com, echoed Ken's feelings. He welcomed the vehicle that Twitter provides for breaking stories. "It used to be where we would file a story at 8 p.m. and then pray no other writer broke it before we did. Now, we can control that by immediately tweeting it the moment we've got the story."
As for the heart-warming part, I think what I enjoyed most about their presentation was this: While both Rosenthal and Heyman are fierce competitors, along with the likes of Buster Olney, Jayson Stark and Jerry Crasnick, you could see they were friendly rivals who clearly respected – maybe even empathized with – each other. In a way, they, too, are part of the baseball family. They have been covering countless Winter Meetings, World Series and ordinary every day games. Through the years, they have built close relationships with hundreds of journalists, GMs, PR types, agents and, of course, players and managers. Yes, they call them "sources," but in a way, they also consider them friends. That is not a conflict of interest, merely a statement about the human condition. And I, for one, am glad we can enjoy the company of people, no matter which side of the fence they work from, or whether they're a team rival.
Next up, I'll give you an update from the GM suite. Billy Beane spoke to our beat writers recently, but to be truthful, there wasn't much to report. He said he remains open-minded about possible trades, and has communicated or met with more than half the teams in MLB. However, he also cautioned the writers, stressing that being open-minded does not necessarily mean we're "shopping" any players.
