Re: Service of Summons & Complaint in
Divorce Actions on Prosecuting
Dear Sir:
This is in response to your recent inquiry concerning the power of a prosecuting attorney to delegate the responsibility of accepting service of summons and complaints in divorce actions to a county clerk. As you point out, such service is required under the provisions of RCW 26.08.080, which reads in pertinent part as follows:
"Each party to any divorce or annulment action shall serve the prosecuting attorney of the county in which the action is commenced with copies of the summons and complaint and such other papers as may be required by court rule at the time the same are filed in the county clerk's office. . . ."
We, like you, are unable to find any statutes governing the powers of the prosecuting attorney which would authorize a prosecutor to alter the procedures specified in the above‑quoted statute. Consequently, we must answer your question that a prosecuting attorney has no power to require the county clerk to accept service of process in divorce actions on his behalf.
In answering your question in this manner, however, we do not mean to imply that there is anything wrong in the practice which has arisen in many of the counties of this state where the clerk does in fact accept service of process in such actions on behalf of the prosecutor. In many counties the prosecuting attorney has expressly authorized the county clerk to accept service on his behalf under the provisions of the quoted statute. In such counties it is not at all unusual to find that the clerk has been provided with the "acceptance of service" stamp of the prosecuting attorney for just such purpose.
[[Orig. Op. Page 2]] And, as we can find nothing which would permit you to delegate your duty to accept service, we can likewise find nothing which would prohibit you from authorizing another person to accept service on your behalf. Acceptance of service process may be made in one's behalf by his agent. See, 42 Am.Jur. 31, 42, Process §§ 33, 51; 72 C.J.S. 1047, Process §§ 38 (b). The only Washington case that we have been able to discover on the question of validity of service of process on an agent, other than corporation cases, is Lee v. Barnes, 58 Wn.2d 265, 362 P.2d 237 (1961). In that case, the court held that service of process upon an agent appointed for the purpose of receipting for such process was valid service even though the Washington statutes and rules do not expressly authorize this mode of service.
In other words, while certainly you may not compel the clerk to act as your agent for service of this kind of process, we are unable to find any legal reason which would indicate that he could not act as such an agent should be choose to do so.
I trust this information will be of some assistance to you.
Very truly yours,
Richard A. Mattsen
Assistant Attorney General

Watch video tips and tricks
no-stick cooking spray
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/4 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
Excellent! I loved the base of the recipe. I made substitutions/additions based on our lifestyle: Substituted egg whites for eggs, water for milk, brown sugar for white sugar, old fashioned oats for quick oats, molasses for maple syrup. Added 1 tsp vanilla, 2 scoops protein powder, 1/4 cup each ground flax and chia seeds and 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
These did not turn out for me. They didn't have any flavor and were quite dense. No one really wanted a second one.

I have gall bladder problems and was looking for something low fat to make for the holidays. This recipe has no oil! And the muffins are soft and moist. Very delicious.
I increased the baking powder/baking soda to a full teaspoon each, used pure maple syrup and because I did not have quick cooking oats on hand, I ran equal amounts old fashioned oats down through my blender until it was the consistancy of whole wheat flour. I was able to get 12 big muffins out of one recipe. Baked at 350*, they were done at 22 minutes. My family loved these muffins, they are GONE. We seriously at them all at breakfast.
Great muffins, very moist and flavourful. Recipe actually makes closer to 7 or 8 muffins, or maybe my muffin pan is just smaller. They are quite sweet, almost more of a dessert than a breakfast item, although so tasty you will want to eat them first thing in the morning anyway.
Excellent! Very moist. Used buttermilk vs regular milk and added raisins, walnuts and diced candied ginger. Perfect at 23 minutes.
Delicious, moist and tender muffin. Got the "thumbs up" too from DH who is a fussy eater. I even cut the white sugar back to 1/4 c. and did spices to taste (I didn't have pumpkin pie spice so I also added ginger and cloves). I like how much pumpkin this recipe uses and will make these again for sure. Next time I will add crushed walnuts. Thanks EW2012!
These were so moist & full of flavor. I used whole wheat pastry flour & omitted the maple syrup. Next time I'll add the oatmeal with the other dry ingredients. I doubled the recipe & got 18 regular sized muffins.

Students' ability to recognize ways Shakespeare creates and uses mood will augment their analysis of the text and help them in making performance choices.
This lesson will take two to three class periods.
New Folger edition of As You Like It
1. As a warm-up activity, ask students to think about their mood and to list ten adjectives that describe how they feel.
2. Facilitate a class discussion in which students share the results from their warm-up activity. Be sure to define "mood" as it relates to literature—the feeling a writer wants the reader to experience. (For a more formal definition, go to Dr. Kip Wheeler's online Dictionary of Literary Definitions .) Ask the students to name the different types of devices authors use to set mood—examples include imagery, descriptive words, figurative language, setting, and foreshadowing.
3. Divide students into groups of five or six and ask them to read Act three, Scene three of As You Like It. Instruct half of the groups to focus on Touchstone's character and the other half to focus on Jaques. Have the groups select words, phrases, lines, and/or other literary devices that reveal their character's mood.
4. Ask students to discuss how they could convey these verbal clues into their performance-facial expression, physical gesture, body language etc.
5. Ask students to perform the scene, paying particular attention to accurately conveying the mood they have determined for their character. After each performance, ask students to jot down their reactions.
6. Facilitate a class discussion of the similarities and differences between the performances. How frequently were groups able to convey a specific mood? Which elements of characterization were useful in conveying those moods?
7. As an optional extension, you may wish to have students write a journal entry or other more formal response paper in which they assess what they have learned.

In what is thought to be the first official figures of their kind, a report by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) shows a significant increase in the number of practising Catholics with up to 90,000 now receiving communion weekly.
The statistics were collated with help from Carmelite nuns in the capital, Havana, who bake communion wafers for most of the dioceses spread across the island.
But as churches across the country report an increase in Church attendance in the wake of the baby Jesus initiative, bishops are convinced they have captured the imagination of the people and are putting together another order for yet more of the sacred figures.
In a message to ACN, which funded the baby Jesus initiative, Archbishop Juan Garcia, who heads up mission outreach across Cuba, president of the Bishop's Conference of the Cuban Bishop's, wrote that the initiative was the gift of the Holy Spirit: "We beg ACN for help so that more people can enjoy Christmas with the Baby Jesus".
"We have had many testimonies praising the figures and so just think what Christmas 2006 could be like if we could have more of them, just think what it could mean for people who want to know Jesus more deeply."
The initiative is being perceived as a milestone for religious expression in Cuba with reports of no difficulties with the Cuban authorities, through the work of the thousands of voluntary missioners who distributed the baby Jesus figures across the island.
Many travelled up to 20km by foot, knocking on doors and inviting people to receive the little statue complete with a leaflet explaining the initiative and the importance of Jesus and the nativity.
They also took the opportunity to visit the sick and infirm and bolster community spirit.
For information about Cuba's baby Jesus initiative or to make a donation, contact Aid to the Church in Need.

Point Grey has created a new Astrophotography specific webpage: Point Grey Astrophotography Cameras
Point Grey makes a wide range of machine vision cameras. Many of them are great cameras for astrophotography, but many of them are not . We've created this site in an effort to clarify our products for the astrophotography community. We posted information about what we feel are our best cameras for planetary, lunar, solar, and even possibly deep sky photography.
We are also posting reviews and articles about using Point Grey cameras for astrophotography. If anyone has written or is writing relevant articles or reviews on any of our cameras, we'd love to hear about it!

I live on Point Grey, Vancouver, at UBC, so I thought you might be nearby.
I'm pleased to find (eventually!) that you aren't too far away, in Richmond, BC, Canada.

Point Grey Research (now usually abbreviated to just "Point Grey") did start on Point Grey! We were a group of 5 students/staff in the computer science dept of University of British Columbia. However, we soon discovered how hard it is to get office space in UBC - so we moved after about 6 months to Broadway & Burrard, and then a few years later to Marpole, and then a few years later right out of Vancouver to Steveston highway in Richmond. We are getting farther and farther away from Point Grey, but only a local would know what/where Point Grey is anyway so we can get away with it

Classic KING-FM is shifting to a listener-supported model
The board that oversees 62-year-old classical music station KING-FM has decided to convert the commercially-operated station to "listener-supported" public radio format.
The change will take place July 1 next year, when an ad sales agreement with Fisher Communications expires. At that time, the station will stop airing 60-second commercial "spots" and will switch to 20-second "underwriting announcements" and occasional listener pledge drives, much like those currently heard on local public radio stations KUOW and KPLU (and already heard on KING-FM's web streams and HD channels). The station won't carry NPR headline news.
As reported earlier by Crosscut, KING-FM has been coping with declining revenues. In September it laid off several staff members. The station also notified its beneficiaries — ArtsFund, Seattle Symphony, and Seattle Opera — that it would not be paying a dividend for the foreseeable future.
Since 1995, KING-FM had split its profits among the three groups as part of a unique ownership arrangement that kept the station in local hands following sale of KING Broadcasting's other Pacific Northwest radio and TV stations. Up until last year, KING-FM had generated a cumulative total of nearly $7 million for the three groups, but annual dividends had declined since peaking in 1999.
Board president Chris Bayley and station general manager Jennifer Ridewood point to changes in the media landscape and shrinking commercial revenues as reasons for making the switch, as well as the success of classical stations in other parts of the country that have recently adopted the non-commercial model.
The switch requires IRS and FCC approval, and Ridewood says KING-FM has engaged attorneys to assist with both processes. The station has been advised to create a new, educational-mission-driven, not-for-profit entity to avoid possible tax burdens associated with a traditional radio station sale, and the FCC must formally approve the switch to non-commercial operation of the 98.1 FM frequency.
KING-FM has also engaged fundraising consultants and will work to raise $2 million for what they describe as a "Legacy Campaign." Bayley says, "Two-million dollars will fund operations until the whole system of listener support is running smoothly. We can't just turn a switch."
Ridewood says that based on other stations' experiences, it may take as long as five years (from July 1, 2011) for KING-FM's listener-supported arrangement to become stable and self-supporting. KING-FM's current annual budget of $2 million is projected to increase to $3 million, as the station will hire fundraising staff to coordinate corporate underwriting (which will replace the ad sales function currently handled by Fisher Communications) and solicitation of individual donors via web, mail, and on-air pledge drives.
Listeners should notice a big difference come July 1 next year, with more music, fewer interruptions and no more jarring commercials for mattresses. Ridewood says that the station currently plays 11 60-second commercials per hour, and in the new arrangement will instead play only "four or five, 20-second underwriting announcements" during the same period. While current KING-FM advertisers are likely targets for becoming underwriters, the agreement with Fisher prevents KING-FM from directly soliciting those companies until April, 2011.
In addition to underwriting announcements, Ridewood says KING-FM will likely have three on-air pledge drives a year, lasting roughly a week. Pledge drives would include a mixture of music and "asks," according to Ridewood.
As for the cash contributions once enjoyed by KING-FM's three beneficiaries, Bayley and Ridewood say that the new non-commercial KING will conduct more outreach and have more airtime available to promote local performances (in the form of free underwriting announcements) and for more local programming, including live broadcasts. Thus, the cash that once directly supported ArtsFund (for distribution to smaller musical organizations), Seattle Symphony, and Seattle Opera is being replaced by promotional benefits with less direct impact.
In spite of this, the board — which includes representatives from each of three beneficiaries — voted unanimously for the switch. "They see that this is the way for the station to survive," Bayley says. He also says the vote reflects the board's priority to keep KING-FM viable as a classical music station per the wishes of KING-FM founder Dorothy Bullitt, and Bullitt's daughters Harriett Bullitt and the late Priscilla "Patsy" Collins. Harriett Bullitt is described by KING-FM as "embracing" the station's switch to non-commercial.

I am from Portland where we have had listener-supported classical radio. There is little doubt that this format is superior to a commercial one. Nevertheless, we have experienced some significant downsides. One of the more significant is the requirement of pledge drives. They used to be pretty low key and quick down here. However, with the rapidly escalating budget at KQAC, the pledge drives have gotten longer and more aggressive. The last two have gone beyond the allotted 10 days and the one last fall fell short of the $500,000 goal ( a lot of money to raise a few dollars at a time.) While business underwriting ads are preferable to commercials, it too has a significant effect on what is played. The necessity to get those brief quasi-commercial messages in does limit the type and length of pieces that can be played. Also, our station has gotten very ratings conscious as its budgetary needs have increased. This in turn affects the nature of programming. Our station can be pretty bland, especially during the daytime. If you like to your classical radio to challenge and excite you, don't expect listener-supporter radio to be a panacea. It will be an substantial improvement, but there are downsides to the format, as you will soon learn.
Posted Wed, Mar 24, 4:35 p.m.
I, for one, would be delighted to generously support an ads-free KING-FM, but not if it resorts to the kind of abusive pledge drives that KUOW resorts to all-too-frequently.
Posted Wed, Mar 24, 6:04 p.m.
KING FM as developed was a mix of often bland chestnut programing and advertising worthy only of the stupid. This is some reason to again listen to KING FM since it was gifted to local arts and then so absurdly abused by them - or rather some of them.
Posted Thu, Mar 25, 4:48 a.m.
Anything - anything - would be an improvement over what KING FM has sunk to. I can't understand why anyone would listen to it when satellite radio offers straight up commercial free music for a very modest fee. I would never think of subjecting myself to it. Let's hope the new scheme works, although Bayley's "cash cow" comment doesn't exactly inspire hope.
Posted Thu, Mar 25, 2:56 p.m.
The email response from our listeners over this latest news has been very gratifying. Any notes of a negative nature have been written with the fear that we will dump classical music and go to all NPR and PRI programming... they want their classical music! I assure them that our mission has been and will remain classical music!
Just as importantly, the response from the arts community has been tremendous. While the arts groups have appreciated the almost $7 million we have given them, it is clear the arts groups also value the exposure we give them on the radio. We've featured literally hundreds of concerts on NW Focus throughout the year, all featuring local arts groups, and we look forward to expanding that. It's also our goal to get as many as 52 local broadcast concerts on KING FM, concerts featuring many of the finest classical groups in the NW.
While I applaud and support ANY effort to share classical music, including satellite radio, I am pleased that 250,000 to 300,000 people choose to listen to their local station, KING FM, each week, with thousands more listening online. With their support, this local station, owned by the arts and supporting NW arts, can continue and even expand, and with it, our local arts community as well.
I am sure it will be hard to convince those for whom cynicism seems to be a lifestyle, but in my 30 years at KING FM, and through all the years my family listened when I was a youngster, I've come to see KING FM as a great community resource. It's a feeling shared by all of us here, and we hear that when we meet our listeners, too. Nothing could make us happier.
I welcome your constructive criticism just as I welcome positive feedback. Please write me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Bryan Lowe - Program Director of 98.1 KING FM. Online at http://king.org
Posted Fri, Mar 26, 12:13 a.m.
Quinn: I don't mean to be disrespectful but as the former program director of KING-FM I have to ask: Giannone...who? And when did KING ever subscribe to Walrus Research and its finding? Wait...there it is on Glen Beck's blackboard. "WR" That's short for Wagner's Ring. Seattle Opera is one of the owners of KING. It's...(shed a tear here) so obvious. I find your comments often amusing, provoking and occasionally food for thought but ...WHAT flavor of KoolAid are you drinking? While we're setting the record straight, you wrote way back that I banned vocal and solo instrument music from the station back in the 90's. Not so. Not even close. And I'll go you toe-to-toe on that assertion. You're thinking about 15 years prior to a previous program director. Does KING make mistakes? Of course. But the mistakes tend to be self-correcting because the station actually listens to its listeners, even you. You do have some constructive critiques of the station past and present but I have to tell you that the thoughts are presented in such a hyperbolic way with ad hominem assaults on the current management that they can't possibly be taken seriously. You would do well to muster your facts, assemble your arguments, be specific in your charges and be fair in your critique. You are obviously a thoughtful and caring listener of KING-FM. That is most appreciated. No more care is required. Just a bit more thought.
Posted Fri, Mar 26, 10:13 a.m.
I don't want to beat this horse deader than it already is but for those few who enjoy this inside-baseball (are mixed metaphors permitted here?) again I'll respond: David Giovannoni's work was never the basis of any programming decisions at KING. For one thing his work was done for public radio stations and we wouldn't have wanted to pay for access. We did some audience research in the 80's and early in this decade but results were pretty obvious. Some pieces of music "test" better than others and everyone hates the commercials.
Bach Suites, solo instrument, etc was not banned on KING-FM. We may not have played it in the quantity you would prefer but was played. If I had access to a play-list from...take an arbitrary date...3/26/1996 I could prove it to you.
Arts songs, that's another matter. Yes, they were and are extremely limited in quantity. At the time mostly confined to "Live by George" and occasional live broadcasts, including the Seattle Chamber Music Festival. But I would be avoiding your critique if I stopped there. Art songs just aren't very good radio. I love Winterreise, the Mahler cycles, the Strauss Four Last Songs, etc. but they don't work on the radio. Ideally they require a translated text to be followed by the listener (Ever been to to a concert where the text is not in the program?). As important is the mood and setting the listener experiences. That's better done on the listener''s own terms, meaning their own recording, in the environment of their choosing. And it's such a rarefied art form that there just aren't enough people in the radio listening audience to justify devoting much airtime to the art song.
Do the numbers: KING reaches 250,000 to 300,000 people a week. If the Seattle Symphony sells out four houses for a series 10,000 will have attended. When a Seattle Chamber Music Summer Festival concert is sold out maybe 450 people are in attendance. If you'd like to start a music festival or series devoted to the art song I wish you much luck in that. Even a scan of the NY Times arts section doesn't show much interest in this rarefied (and wonderful) art form.
KING-FM isn't an arts group. It's a radio station. An imperfect delivery system for some (and sadly not all) glorious music. It is trying to survive in a world of downloads, on-demand sources, satellite, etc. It has a board and staff that is committed to its existence. If you have some constructive ideas about how the station can better meet the future I know that Lowe and Ridewood would invite your input. So far I haven't seen that unless by implication you believe that KING's future rests on more arts songs and Bach solo cello compositions. That's a start. What else ya got?
Posted Fri, Mar 26, 11:26 a.m.
I heard Yo-Yo play Bach's complete Cello Suite No.1 just last Saturday evening on KING FM, and I've heard most of the rest of the suites in the last several months also.
Posted Fri, Mar 26, 11:55 a.m.
Forgive me if I feel compelled to add my voice to a debate that I find quite interesting. Although I live in Portland, I do travel frequently to Seattle for the opera and listen to KING on my portable radio. I sometimes listen on-line here in Portland. I believe KING does a better job than some people give it credit for.
However, I must confess that I am sympathetic to quinn's point of view. I would not dispute that art song is not the most popular form of classical music and is probably not ideal for radio, but I doubt that Quinn is asking that KING provide a steady diet of it (if he does, then I would not agree with that position). Nevertheless, I suspect that there are more people out there than one might think who do enjoy it. I also suspect that KING and other classical stations would survive if they did provide something a bit different once in a while. Sure, a majority of listeners may turn off the radio during Wintereisse, but they would be much the poorer for it (who knows, some may even like it if they give it a chance) And I think KING would provide a richer and more satisfying outlet for classical music if a tiny place could be found for less popular forms of music.
Classical stations should serve the entire community of classical listeners. Since most listeners do prefer standard repertoire, I can see devoting the majority of air time to pieces that appeal to those people. However, those who prefer something more challenging and a bit different ought not to be entirely neglected, either.
In sum, I am excited about KING's transformation next year. As I earlier indicated, we have always had listener supported classical radio in Portland. We are better off for it. I fervently hope that it brings about a greater diversity of music to Seattle, which includes includes a place for not only Mozart and Beethoven, but also the lengthy symphonies of Bruckner and Mahler and, yes,just once in a while pieces such as the Britten solo cello suites and Winteriesse.
Posted Fri, Mar 26, 12:34 p.m.
I think that's a pretty accurate summary of the issues. The exciting thing for KING is that once the pressure of producing ratings to support an advertising model is diminished (It will never go away but a lot of what is done to boost ratings is technical manipulation of the methodology. KING, as well as All-Classical care about ratings to the extent that they give measurement to the desires of an audience) then the voices of Quinn and others will have greater potency because listener support demands serving various constituencies, including those who like solo baroque, art songs, etc.
That's what I meant earlier about errors being self-correcting. It's never perfect when you try and satisfy the tastes of 250,000-300,000 listeners but non-commercial radio has to have its ear closer to the ground than commercial stations.
One other thing that Bryan and KING have not been given enough credit for is the development of alternate programming streams online. True, there is presently not a "Lieder Channel" but it's not inconceivable that one could be developed. Right now KING is in the process of setting up the machinery and procedures to make it all work. Don't think that the Symphonic Channel, Evergreen, Opera and Arts are the last word on the subject.
I wish Quinn could appreciate the complexity of balancing all the strategic, aesthetic and business choices that a classical music radio station has to make every day. The truth is, I'm quite sympathetic to the spirit that animates his over-the-top "ha-ha" moments. Quinn is wishing for something that we would all want: exposure and appreciation toward the vast body of great art that we call "classical music." In my 33 years of association with KING I've seen it zig and zag toward a more perfect future. It isn't perfect and mistakes get made. Having made my share I know that. But to suggest that the motives of the board and staff are anything less than supportive to a good end is to enter into a Glenn (I got the spelling right this time) Beckian world that really doesn't advance anyone's understanding of the issues. I think Quinn himself elevated the discourse with some really excellent suggestions for vocal music and other music that flies under the radar screen. If those suggestions are unaccompanied by a chalk board with circles and lines pointing to a classical radio death star it would make for interesting reading. And listening.
Posted Fri, Mar 26, 1:02 p.m.
Peter, I appreciate your thoughtful comments today. I have engaged in debates similar to this with those in charge of KQAC, who make similar arguments in defense of their programming. I appreciate the difficulties in progamming music on a classical station. Nevertheless, my experience has been that classical stations reflexively gravitate toward to what is safe and inoffensive, what I call lowest common demoninator programming. While that results in music satisfying to the greatest number, it does not in my view realize the full potential of classical radio. I have to believe there is a place for the unusual on a classical station, even if it is not especially popular. I won't trouble anyone further with my thoughts, except to say that I look forward to listening to the new KING FM on my trips to Seattle next year. Good luck to you.
Posted Fri, Mar 26, 1:29 p.m.
I too am going to hang up the phone on this discussion, interesting as it is. I will only wrap up my thoughts by saying that when Quinn writes that "'streams online' is irrelevant to this discussion of FM radio" he is so obviously ignoring the technological revolution around us. If we were having a discussion about our neighborhood video store and why it doesn't carry more French New Wave films and someone brought up Netflix or downloaded movies I guess Quinn would say that was not relevant because we are talking about video stores.
One of the difficulties I had as program director and the person who put KING-FM online in 1990 (BBS) the first website 1993, the first internet radio station (1995) was convincing the powers that be that this new technology needed to be harnessed. It could either be ours or belong to someone else. At the time the counter-argument was that the KING audience was older and the technology would not be a good fit with the audience. I don't think I entirely won the argument and I'm grateful that Bryan has pushed ahead and that the station is now committed to the 21st century.
Quinn, I'll close by trying to make this as simple for you as possible: In the future (present almost) people will not care whether you call it FM, satellite, Internet or Bruce the Wonderdog. As long as you can flick a switch on a box and out comes programming that you are looking for it will be used - used the way we use radio now. Plus a few bells and whistles added. With that in mind your admirable call for vision must be viewed in a different light. The future aint what it used to be.
On that mangled thought and this one, this dead horse has left the building.
Posted Sat, Mar 27, 4:36 a.m.
Quinn: Satellite radios are not fiendishly complicated technical devices. You obviously use a computer, which is likely much more complex. Satellite radio requires only a clear view of the southern sky for its antenna, and even that is unnecessary in most areas near Seattle, where ground transmitters offer coverage. You plug the satellite receiver's output into any amplifier or audio device with an input jack. Many satellite radios also have a very low power FM transmitter in them you can set to transmit on an FM frequency with no local station, making things even easier. You simply listen through your (nearby) FM radio. I think I am paying 12 to 15 bucks a month for the service, which is well worth it.
Although not wickedly complex, it is admittedly more involved than simply turning on a regular old FM radio. And I agree with you that local is better, and I too like the idea of listening to the same music as others nearby. And satellite can seem pretty sterile - the music selections I mostly like but the pre-recorded DJ'ing leaves something to be desired. A good local station would be better.
As a long time radio buff, I dearly hope the new KING works out, and if it does it could be a lot better than satellite. I was a weird teenager who in the 1970's liked tuning in to KXA during the day and KKHI from San Francisco at night while driving around drinking beer with friends. And I am still lamenting BBC's ending of its shortwave broadcasting to N America (need satellite radio now for it,) leaving Radio Havana Cuba as about the only interesting thing left on shortwave here.
I think the cynicism from myself and others is just the inevitable result of KING FM having sunk so godawfully low for so long. It's been sooooo bad for soooooo long it's hard to even conceive of it ever being good. But hope springs eternal. I look forward to its rebirth. I hope that the entire crew who ruined it are sent packing. This could be the start of something really good - if different people are put in charge. And if it is, I will gladly contribute as generously as I can. I will be a frequent and devoted listener, and I suspect many many others will be too.
But meanwhile, the rebirth is still 15 months off - you might still like to give satellite a try, imperfect though it be. That 12 or 15 bucks a month buys a lot of choices in both music and talk. Even after July '11, choices will be good. It'd be great if KING FM were one of them.
Posted Sun, Mar 28, 8:59 a.m.
Since I still consider the horse still dead I'm going to resist the temptation to keep this inquisition alive. I think anybody still reading knows both side of this subject in sufficient and agonizing detail.
I am interested in some of Quinn's thoughts about public radio since that is what KING is going to become. Since an earlier post referenced the work of David Giovannoni and Walrus Research (never used by KING-FM) was done exclusively for public radio and encompassed the totality of public radio formats (news, talk, jazz, etc) - I'd like Quinn's thoughts about how well KUOW and KPLU serve the local community. Extra credit goes to how other public radio stations (All-Classical in Portland, KUSC in LA, WGHB/WCRB and WBUR in Boston, WNYC/WQXR in New York all would be good examples) fulfill their mission, serve their community and operate successfully in a challenging media environment.
Whether you agree or disagree with Quinn's assertions about KING's past and future we might benefit from knowing his thoughts about public radio in general.
Posted Sun, Mar 28, 5:02 p.m.
Great thread, you guys! On a station in my former life, the Program Director thought he knew what the listeners wanted, and on listener request days he would play only chestnuts. I of course was stubborn and refused to play that stuff -- instead I took actual requests. In six years of taking requests, only once did I have a listener choose the Pachelbel Canon.
Quinn is right that the classical repertoire is broad and deep. There's so much wonderful music out there to discover -- I hear something new literally every day in my job -- and Seattle is eager to hear it all. What other city will fill an 800-seat hall for Medieval music? The Seattle audience is incredibly knowledgeable and engaged.
Once KING goes public, the listeners will have direct input, and the station's challenge will be to turn listeners into donors by respecting their opinions. Quinn, get out your checkbook! You should be able to get your Monteverdi madrigal and Faure chanson along with your $200 donation. In fact, that's a good idea for a fundraiser, Bryan. Let the listeners program the station. I've got my playlist ready, and once the listeners hear the music I have in store for them, they'll throw donations at you.
Congratulations on the best arts news Seattle has had since the creation of ArtsFund.

Note received from a good friend:
"Good job ol Quinn. You sure showed them ol' Quinn. I especially loved it when you smacked em with that Bach cello suite never heard thing. Oh yeah, it was played but on Bach's birthday after you said you had only heard it once since the Carter administration. But you came back with a wonderful retort about it being his birthday and so it didn't count. Blinded them with your rhetorical brilliance ol' Quinn so they didn't even notice that "only once" really means only once so either you didn't hear that and maybe missed other airings or you were just making an assertion up out of whole cloth. Good show ol' Quinn.
And you really got em when you said that the Internet wasn't really relevant to radio. I almost fell over on my rocker but by grandson caught me. Good thing too because at the time he was listening to Anonymous 7 on something he calls an Eye Pod. Funny he didn't understand why I was so musically deprived being limited to radio.
Good show ol' Quinn on all that boring crap on public radio. I'm especially bored when all this BBC World Service stuff comes on. Back in my day we had to get it on short wave. Now we're stuck with it in full fidelity. It's just wrong you know. I miss the fades in and out. And what could be more boring than This American Life or Radiolab. And don't get me started with Keillor. Obviously he's boring because he's too popular and we know the public doesn't have any taste. If they did why would they allow Studio 360, Says You, The Swing Years, Alternative Radio, On the Media, etc to put us to sleep. You got that right Quinn, it's one boring radio universe out there.
Anyway, once again, good show ol' Quinn. I think you've done cause and country much good. I know you or I won't be surprised when no change occurs after KING becomes non-commercial. How could it? What could possibly be different? Must go now. Time for the yellow pills. Or was it the green? Ah, yes, I'm told it's the yellow. Write soon. I'm really enjoying this electronic, what's it called, e-mail. A bit hard to read the screen sometime but I'm told if I upgrade to a 22" LCD 1080p monitor it will look better.

I promised not to continue the discussion but I'm only passing on what your friend wrote. He now tells me he is a bit confused about all this since
a) The original subject is "Listener Supported" which neither includes nor excludes NPR, BBC, etc. And since he tells me that the research you refer to is largely an analysis of spoken-word formats it would not, therefore, make sense that you reference to this research as the basis of your problem with KING-FM. Certainly not as a primary source.
b) Your friend also asked me why, when you did reference public radio, the only program you cited is a program that is hosted by an author, humorist and all-around man of words (Keillor)? It would put you in the unenviable position of turning Prairie Home Companion on and off many times during the program. Pity. "It's been a quiet week..." is occasionally wonderful.
Yes, we both find ourselves, therefore, vexed. I can't speak for your friend but I'll try not to ask any more questions in the future. Fact checking gets tedious after a while.
Posted Tue, Mar 30, 3:04 p.m.
No Quinn, the original subject that Felix wrote about was the challenge and promise that KING-FM going non-commercial faced. You, as you have in posts past, will use any article where KING is referenced as a launching pad for a series of tirades connected together by research that wasn't done and evil-doers who walk the halls of the station. It is neither correct nor helpful and after all these months I thought that someone should call you out on it.
You are obviously smart, well-read (about some things) and passionate about the music. What you lack is the ability to see KING in the context of our present media environment, the economy and increasingly diverse technology that is altering the way we listen to music. When an assertion is challenged you say that it is off-point, throw out another smoke bomb, another bit of personal invective and ...for what?
Beyond the first few posts when you had some really lovely suggestions for additional short vocal selections that might make the station sound richer, you've offered nothing of value and little of truth. Since I no longer work at the station I don't have to adopt the correct attitude adaptation and make you think that "the customer is always right" and "thanks for your input." Were I still working there I would not be so candid and we'd just have to wait for another KING article in which your snarky comments about the board, management, the current announcers, the music, ad nauseam would go unchallenged.
Think what you will Quinn, write what you like. The station is going to face the challenge and the considerable promise of becoming a true public instrument. The programming will continue to evolve and reflect these changes. The mission of the station will be energized and become even more in keeping with the desires of the founders and original owners. The board, the management and the staff will go about their day doing their best to serve the community. They will listen to and serve the arts community, the public and the great body of music we all love and share. They will also have to turn their heads every now and then and do it with civility even as some choose not to similarly conduct themselves.
And yes, now, back to the music.
Posted Thu, Apr 1, 10:15 a.m.
In my opinion, dumbing down to the listeners has caused much of the downfall of classical music stations. By this, I mean such things as playing only little bits rather than complete movements, using liners and jingles, etc. I guess this is based on the perceived short attention span of today's listener.
I am far from expert in classical music, but I enjoy hearing the long pieces of music and trying to understand them, and looking up the history of the composers and their works, learning about the various orchestras and conductors, and absorbing something that feels restful and good for the brain and the mind.
If you have internet access, there is a great deal of free and commercial-free classical (and other) music available from all over the world. You don't need a computer to listen, just a wi-fi radio, available in many stores and online.

Not being Quinn, I'll be glad to hear classical music of ANY genre/period when it is presented to me without idiotic commercials. Also not being Quinn, I recognize that radio/TV/blogs must be paid for by someone. I'll be happy to donate and listen to KING in lieu of not donating and not listening to KING. Seems like a fair tradeoff.
It's no longer cute to brag about not having a computer, nor is it probably correct to say "like many people." That's simply elitist, as also evidenced by remarks about the music played on KING. Buy your own station, Quinn, or simply stick to CDs.

It's no longer cute to brag about not having a computer, nor is it probably correct to say "like many people." That's simply elitist.
Was it ever cute?
As for the comment about many people not owning a computer, this statistic may be of use. According to the OECD, there were 26.7 broadband subscribers per 100 inhabitants in the U.S. in 2009. (One cannot very well stream music without an Internet connection, and it is not a very pleasant experience on dialup.) It is noted that, as there is often more than one person per connection, penetration is higher than a quarter. Even if we assume three people per subscription, however, that leaves something like 80 million people without broadband.
So, I don't see how it's elitist of Quinn to say that many people cannot stream music. Or am I missing something?
Posted Thu, Apr 1, 7:15 p.m.
It doesn't leave 80 million people without computers, and what Quinn said was "and like many people I don't own a computer."
Posted Thu, Apr 1, 9:15 p.m.
But the context was alternatives to FM radio, so what really matters is broadband penetration. I don't have figures at hand regarding computer ownership, but the number is likelier higher than we imagine. If anything, that is elitist — to imagine everyone across the land is situated as well as we are in Seattle — and even here I'm sure there are populations without access.
I fear that the old media model may be crumbling before the new one can fully take off, and that will leave a lot of people figuratively in the dark.

I was formerly employed by KING-FM. During the week, I worked at KING-TV, and, at the same time, from June, 1970 to April of 1972, I was one of the weekend on-air hosts on KING-FM. At that time, the station's manager and program director was Jim Wilke.
Dorothy Bullitt had the habit of visiting the KING-TV lunch room each day so that she should be in touch with the pulse of the station and to get to know the people who worked there. Since the KING-FM personnel were in a different environment and had different hours, for the same purpose, she decided to invite all KING-FM employees to her home on Capital Hill for a brunch one Saturday afternoon. Fortunately, my shift was over for the day, so I was able to participate.
After the food had been consumed, we all retired to her sitting room for conversation. There were about eleven of us.
During the discourse, someone asked Mrs. Bullitt what kind of classical music she wanted to hear on KING-FM. She responded by saying that what she wanted to hear on the station was not important, but it was important what the listeners desired.
She said that all KING Broadcasting Company stations had three goals, in this order of priority:
1. Performing a public service
2. Obtaining station operating revenue
3. Airing quality programming
So, regarding classical music programming, it would appear that the listeners were the determining factor. But, regarding station philosophy, it would appear that Mrs. Bullitt's priorities would prevail, since it was she who established its tone when she put it on the air in 1948.
Mrs. Bullitt, and her two daughters, have decided that KING-FM should always remain a classical music oriented station, but that the listeners should decide the kind of classic music the station would air. Jim Wilke once told me that he took his marching orders not only from Mrs. Bullitt, but from the listeners.
Mrs. Bullitt always wanted a broad spectrum of classical music to be broadcast and did not want the station to become a classical jukebox, where one would drop in a nickel (now a quarter) into the machine and out would come some short, three minute light classical piece.
When I was at KING-FM, Mr. Wilke took his duties very seriously by scheduling whole symphonies during the drive-time hours. Because of the length of these musical selections, on-air commercial announcement availability slots were drastically reduced.
However, even though this inhibited the revenue generating capabilities of the station, Mrs. Bullitt never objected, but left the programming decisions to the people responsible for them. She always had a general hands-off approach to any station she owned.
However, if it appeared that one of her broadcast operations appeared to be going dangerously off track, she would quietly make suggestions as to how she thought a change should be made.
I believe Mrs. Bullitt would have approved of the move from a commercial to a listener supported operation for KING-FM. I also believe in her idea that a station's public service activities should always prevail over monetary considerations.
This is not a negative reference at all, but people, who really knew her, called her the "velvet steam roller," because, in her quiet, gentle, kind manner, she could convince people to do what she thought was best. I miss her guidance and wisdom. She was, without a doubt, one of the most considerate, humanitarian people I have ever known.
Thanks to Dorothy Bullitt, Seattle is very fortunate to have had a radio facility devoted entirely to classical music, and to also have had the kind of station management with the intelligence, ability, and intent to continue to bring this about. Many other cities are not so lucky.
All dissention aside, in my opinion, the present day KING-FM is a direct reflection of the vision of Dorothy Stimson Bullitt and what she stood for, and, in her memory, I am confident that it will continue to provide the kind of high quality programming that Seattle has enjoyed since 1948.

New Century Version (NCV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "Now, human, get yourself a brick, put it in front of you, and draw a map of Jerusalem on it. | 1 "Now, son of man, take a clay tablet, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. |
2 Then surround it with an army. Build battle works against the city and a dirt road to the top of the city walls. Set up camps around it, and put heavy logs in place to break down the walls. | 2 Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it. |
3 Then get yourself an iron plate and set it up like an iron wall between you and the city. Turn your face toward the city as if to attack it and then attack. This is a sign to Israel. | 3 Then take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it. It will be under siege, and you shall besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel. |
4 "Then lie down on your left side, and take the guilt of Israel on yourself. Their guilt will be on you for the number of days you lie on your left side. | 4 "Then lie on your left side and put the sin of the house of Israel upon yourself. You are to bear their sin for the number of days you lie on your side. |
5 I have given you the same number of days as the years of the people's sin. So you will have the guilt of Israel's sin on you for three hundred ninety days. | 5 I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the house of Israel. |
6 "After you have finished these three hundred ninety days, lie down a second time, on your right side. You will then have the guilt of Judah on you. I will give it to you for forty days, a day for each year of their sin. | 6 "After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the house of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year. |
7 Then you will look toward Jerusalem, which is being attacked. With your arm bare, you will prophesy against Jerusalem. | 7 Turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem and with bared arm prophesy against her. |
8 I will put ropes on you so you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your attack on Jerusalem. | 8 I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days of your siege. |
9 "Take wheat, barley, beans, small peas, and millet seeds, and put them in one bowl, and make them into bread for yourself. You will eat it the three hundred ninety days you lie on your side. | 9 "Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the 390 days you lie on your side. |
10 You will eat eight ounces of food every day at set times. | 10 Weigh out twenty shekels of food to eat each day and eat it at set times. |
11 You will drink about two-thirds of a quart of water every day at set times. | 11 Also measure out a sixth of a hin of water and drink it at set times. |
12 Eat your food as you would eat a barley cake, baking it over human dung where the people can see." | 12 Eat the food as you would a barley cake; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel." |
13 Then the Lord said, "In the same way Israel will eat unclean food among the nations where I force them to go." | 13 The LORD said, "In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them." |
14 But I said, "No, Lord God! I have never been made unclean. From the time I was young until now I've never eaten anything that died by itself or was torn by animals. Unclean meat has never entered my mouth." | 14 Then I said, "Not so, Sovereign LORD! I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn by wild animals. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth." |
15 "Very well," he said. "Then I will give you cow's dung instead of human dung to use for your fire to bake your bread." | 15 "Very well," he said, "I will let you bake your bread over cow manure instead of human excrement." |
16 He also said to me, "Human, I am going to cut off the supply of bread to Jerusalem. They will eat the bread that is measured out to them, and they will worry as they eat. They will drink water that is measured out to them, and they will be in shock as they drink it. | 16 He then said to me: "Son of man, I will cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem. The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and drink rationed water in despair, |
17 This is because bread and water will be hard to find. The people will be shocked at the sight of each other, and they will become weak because of their sin. | 17 for food and water will be scarce. They will be appalled at the sight of each other and will waste away because of their sin. |

In sheer quantity of toxic materials "released," CC&V exceeds Coors Brewing, CF&I Steel and four Public Service of Colorado power plants combined. But EPA officials stress that the TRI is only a starting point for communities to analyze their risk of exposure to various pollutants, and mining-industry advocates say it's absurd to lump their high-volume operations with other industries that produce smaller quantities of far more hazardous materials. The amount of toxics CC&V reportedly released off site is zero; almost all of its potential pollutants noted in the TRI consist of manganese compounds found in ore stored at the site.
"Over 99% of the material that we released' is naturally occurring material in the rock that's moved from pile A to pile B," Micsak notes. "The purpose of the TRI is sound, but when you just deal in raw numbers, it can be misleading."
Henderson defends ARM's use of the data: "The public should know that there's a huge volume of waste being produced and that there's a high risk associated with it."
Micsak contends that ARM is greatly exaggerating the risk. Since the collapse of Summitville, the state has toughened its mining regulations, and the CC&V operation reflects the heightened concern about possible leaks or excessive discharges. The company, the largest employer in Teller County, was required to post a $23 million bond with the state, engages in constant monitoring of water quality in the area, and boasts of a commitment to "redundant technology." "Our mine," says Micsak, "is a state-of-the-art operation running in perfect compliance with the law."
But some of the mine's neighbors don't feel all that neighborly about it. For years, residents of Victor have accused the mine of driving down tourism and bulldozing historic mining shacks in the path of the pit; some suspect the mine's blasting is shaking up their own homes ("It's the Pits," September 4, 1997). Critics say the mine has also exceeded its permit requirements on several fronts, including excessive discharge of cyanide into groundwater and higher-than-allowed zinc releases last year. CC&V officials take issue with many of the claims, which have been emphasized in formal objections to the mine's latest expansion request. If approved, the new amendment to its state permits would allow the mine to double the size of its heap-leach pad and waste-rock dump.
"I would agree that, currently, they have minor problems compared to some facilities," says Dan Randolph, the regional "circuit rider" for the Mineral Policy Center, an advocacy group that filed an objection to CC&V's expansion and supports the ARM proposal. "But they violated their permit last year in two places repeatedly. They are minor exceedances, but they're not excusable."
Micsak says his side will work hard to educate the public about the low risks and high benefits of the industry. He believes the ban will be defeated. The only reason the Montana proposal narrowly passed, he suggests, is because industry advocates were effectively gagged from campaigning on the issue until a court threw out the restriction, just a few days before the election. "This is really a fairly outrageous proposal," he says. "If this thing passes, our mine and hundreds of people in Teller County are going to suffer severely for something they didn't do. And there will be more than jobs lost. There will be environmental protection and technological advances lost, too."
Henderson says CC&V has at least another five years of production ahead on its existing site, even if the ban blocks its expansion plans. In any case, he adds, the true target of the initiative isn't the current mine -- "I think they try to do a good job, better than most," he says -- but the prospect of yet more open-pit mines with less responsible operators.
"We have long-term concerns," he says. "What happens in a hundred years to fifty or sixty stories of waste rock piled on top of a rubber mat? Based on what we've seen so far, the ability to predict how a mine like this will affect the environment seems limited, at best."

We've had some arctic air move down and the wind chills are sitting between -10 and -20 below. The horses have a shed to get into, except for one and he has a wind block, but not exactly a shelter per se. Some of them are choosing to stay out anyway where the hay is. It's extremely cold and the wind is really strong. How cold can a horse stand it? 3 of them have blankets including the one that can't get inside a shelter. The other two wouldn't let you within 20 feet of them with a blanket. It's supposed to stay this way for 2 more days with near zero temps and strong winds before it's supposed to warm back up into the 40's. Is it spring yet?
"Be still sad heart, and cease repining. Behind the clouds, the sun is shining. Thy fate is the common fate of all. Into each life, a little rain must fall." -Longfellow
That is not too cold. Just give them extra hay to eat and keep warm.
A wind block, free choice hay and unfrozen water and they will be fine. The water is usually the hardest to manage so with luck you have tank heaters (I can't believe I went a full winter without one once!) The wind is really awful, we've had it too. If they can get out of the wind (preferably their hay is out of the wind too, so they don't have to choose shelter v. foood) they will be fine.
Mo hay, thats what mine say when I feed ! we rotate them in and out of the barn cuz we can't get them all in. The rest have shelters but they do appreciate the time in the stalls when it's like this,. Gotta go feed now and it is just not fit for man or beast out there now.
OK thanks!! Unfortunately, they do have to choose between hay and shelter. We bring in round bales, but you can't get the round bales around to the east side shed. Just not enough room between the fence and the garlic area and the shed. But they're rotating. Out to eat, then back to shelter and around. I wish we could put the hay over there, but there's just no way. Thanks for the tips. That makes me feel better. Poor horses. I think this is one of the colder winters we've had in a while
Horses evolved in some mighty cold climates. They are kept in Siberia, Mongolia, Tibet, and northern Canada. They are made for this weather.
Flaming Xtian I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ. Mahatma Gandhi Libertarindependent
The only problem I ever had with horses and cold weather in all the years I lived in Montana was when we were trying to get the show horses ready to winter after the last shows in October. Had to keep them in and blanketed, of course, until the last show (we obviously didn't clip in that country) but the hair coat wasn't as thick or "fluffy" and it took a few weeks to get it back to where it would insulate properly. We managed ... but when we had an early winter, they could get pretty uncomfortable. We would bring them in where there was a shed, or even a stall, just stay away from the blankets, which would plaster all the hair down again.
The wind is wicked here today! I, too, worry about my horse, Old Timer. He has a stall with hay in it, but he doesn't like to go in very often. He also has hay outside, and would rather stand outside and eat than inside his stall. Well, it's his option! Couldn't even coax him into his stall with oats this morning. Maybe the wind makes "noises" in his stall that he doesn't like? I didn't hear nothin', but I had double layers over my ears! Tried a trough heater with my last horse. He wouldn't touch it! Acted like he was getting shocked, so stuck my hand in... no shock. Guess some horses are just more sensitive to it than others? So I sold it. I haven't bought another, but may do that for Old Timer. No, not for OT... for ME so I won't have to bust that water and remove the ice 5 times a day!
Just wanted put out a reminder to not remove the ice/snow from horses. It's an insulator against the colder temps and wind.
Several people have touched on this, but it bears repeating: More important that shelter, even is feed. Keep hay in front of them when it's wicked-cold. That keeps the internal fires stoked.
My horse has started taking the tank heater out. Grr
The 7th Day is still God's SabbathICOG7.ORG Layton Hollow ADGA Nubians Taking Reservation for 2015!
Well, they have plenty of hay. Water lines are all frozen, so had to go to the pond and break ice. Sigh. The joys of winter. NOT. The ice was thick and the horses were very happy we were headed down. So, looks like we'll be breaking ice the rest of the day off and on until we get the water lines thawed. The horses put on quite a show for about 4 or 5 minutes. They were all running around bucking, rearing and flagging their tails. Everyone that is except the Thoroughbred. He just stood there and watched. Everyone else was feeling quite full of it for a few minutes.
If you have a run-in shelter, unless it is huge, then I would say do NOT put the hay in the shelter. Your boss horse is likely to claim the shelter as "theirs" and chase the others out. My qh mare does that, "oh this pile of hay is mine....oh wait, that one is too.....oh and that one also!.....she would waste half her time moving everyone else along. So what I got was a shelter with one horse and all the hay in it, and the others standing outside, waiting for her to finish. If you think your horses won't do that, that's great, but be aware that food is sometimes worth guarding, as far as they are concerned. I'm in Canada, and on rare occasions, the wind chill can get down to -30C. We have a shelter (plus two box stalls that rarely get used). Blankets will make the horses pretty much impervious to that weather, but still, most times we don't blanket. They do fine so long as they're out of the wind, and haven't spent a day dripping wet from ice rain, etc. We also allow the snow to stay on their backs. Even then, sometimes with access to a shelter and hay, they will STILL go and stand out in the middle of an open field. Go figure.
"The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap."
I get cracked up at all the people around here with blankets on their horses. Oh no, it's 20 degrees, I better put a blanket on fluffy!

The Minnesota Wild announced plans to replace paper tickets for season ticket holders starting in the upcoming season.
The Stanley Cup playoffs continue tonight at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul with game six of the Minnesota Wild vs. the Chicago Blackhawks and one fan is pumping up the fan base for the game with an original song called "Game 6 on the Line."
Hockey hair and hockey names are both novelties to the world of ice hockey. With the Stanley Cup Playoffs in full swing, and the Minnesota Wild looking forward to a decisive game 7 against the Colorado Avalanche Wednesday night, hockey fever is running rampant in Minnesota. Because of this, Cooper decided to quiz Jeanne on her team knowledge.
The Minnesota Wild faced a "win or stay home" situation in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Playoff series against the Colorado Avalanche as they hit the ice Monday night. With the Avalanche leading the series 3-2, Minnesota would need to rely on the energy from the fans at the sold out Xcel Energy Center.
The Minnesota Wild duplicated the offensive and defensive success of Monday night's game, collecting their second straight win to even the first-round Stanley Cup Playoffs series at two apiece going into the weekend.
These videos of soldiers reuniting with family members never gets old to me, and this one really was a tear jerker.
Here it is, Valentine's Day! As a majority of people celebrate love, the Minnesota Vikings, Twins, Wild, and Timberwolves have jumped on board with videos and Valentine's Day cards for fans.
The Minnesota Wild have announced the schedule for the 2013-2014 season, which marks their first in the new Central Division. They open the regular season at home against the LA Kings, and end the regular season at home against the Nashville Predators. See the whole schedule here:
In a season that started with being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Josh Harding's perseverance and dedication to the game have earned him a big NHL honor.
CSN Sports reporter Susannah Collins was offering some pregame insight prior to the playoff opener for the Chicago Blackhawks as they played host to the Minnesota Wild, when she made a hilarious mistake.
After the bitter feud between the NHL owners and players, a new collective bargaining agreement has been ratified and the 2012-2013 season has been saved, in a shortened form.

GoTo Live At AOL, Enters The UK, To Appear At Lycos & HotBot
By Danny Sullivan
From The Search Engine Report
Nov. 3, 2000
A longer, more detailed version of this article is available to |
It's been a busy month for GoTo, with its AOL partnership now live, new in-roads to bring its listings to the United Kingdom, and a deal to provide paid links to Lycos and HotBot just approved.
Paid links from GoTo.com are now appearing at AOL Search. The top three bids for any particular term at GoTo will also be displayed for a search for that term at AOL Search. They'll be shown at the top of the page, in a clearly marked and well disclaimed "Sponsored Links" area.
GoTo has also just announced today that its paid links are soon to appear at Lycos and HotBot, through a new three-year deal. They'll most likely be shown in a similar manner as with AOL Search. No ETA on when they'll go live -- expect more news on this, as it comes.
GoTo's UK site has also gone live, but more importantly, GoTo is also pegged to provide results to UK Internet service provider Freeserve, bumping Inktomi out of that partnership (though Inktomi will still provide any unpaid results). It's a real coup for GoTo, because Freeserve is the UK's largest ISP, with 2 million users. The two-year deal is significant in that it gives GoTo's UK advertisers immediate access to the huge audience that performs searches from the Freeserve home page.
It's also significant that paid listings are being dumped on such a large audience without there being any mention of it that I've seen in the UK press. Let's put this in perspective. Even with the changing climate in the US toward paid listings, if America's largest ISP -- AOL -- were to suddenly to change so that the bulk of its search results were paid ads, there would certainly be some criticism. The same thing is set to happen in the UK, and not a word is being said.
