2014's fast food atrocities
Burger King's black cheeseburger: Made with squid ink and bamboo charcoal, arguably a symbol of meat's destructive effect on the planet. Only available in Japan.
Topics: Life stories, Adoption, Parenting, Life News
On a fine spring day in 2008, surprising words cropped up on my computer. I had logged onto Google to pick up some biographical information about the United Nations Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, Ambassador Stephen Lewis, of Toronto, as part of my writing work. I typed the letter "S," then paused to recall whether he spelled his name as Steven or Stephen, when, helpfully, a drop-down menu offered recent "S" searches, including "Sax," "Saxing," "Saxing boys and girls," and "Saxing Brintnte sprs."
"But no one in the family plays saxophone," I chuckled to myself. "They must have meant 'trombone' or 'trumpet.' "
Then I thought: "I wonder if one of the boys is thinking about switching instruments."
Then — because five of our nine children were adopted at older ages from orphanages abroad, including the 13-year-old boy from Bulgaria and the 11- , 13- and 14- year old boys from Ethiopia — I thought: "They can't spell."
I returned to the Google search bar and hit a few random letters. Every letter-key I touched produced a little spurt and cascade of misspelled dirty words and phrases. I went back to the beginning of the alphabet and did this in alphabetical order. You had your male body parts, your female body parts, and — in the "Cs" and "Fs" — a few correctly-spelled popular four-letter words. I cheered up momentarily in the "Vs" with the appearance of the word, "Virginia." "All right, so sometimes they actually do use my computer to do their homework!" I thought with relief, glancing down the list for hints of Jamestown, the Royal Colony and Thomas Jefferson.
But then I recalled, not for the first time: "They can't spell."
At Amazon.com, new products were presented for my approval, based on my "recent searches." Just for me, they were saving a video version of the Kama Sutra. "Wow, that's some good spelling!" I thought. "I thought it was spelled Karma Sutra."
Perhaps my two "bio" sons, Seth and Lee, then 23 and 20, had looked into erotica, but they'd come of age in an epoch closer to the lifetimes of Thomas Edison and the Wright brothers. When they were young teenagers, computers were old, slow and black-and-white, more toaster or window fan than science fiction portal into every crevice of the known universe. When they were young, sexy and forbidden images were reproduced in magazines and also arrived in the mail in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue or the Victoria's Secret catalog. To conceal testosterone-fueled research from his mother, a 20th-century boy shoved his magazines deep under his bed, in the moldering twilight company of old socks, chewed gum and misplaced homework. No electronic trail lingered. Twenty-first century boys are unlucky in this way.
By sundown on the day I discovered the new research interest, "saxing," I had purchased and downloaded a software product called NetNanny. Any attempt to visit a website featuring a female other than Cinderella, Indira Gandhi, Julia Child or Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was blocked by the sudden appearance, in profile, of a British housekeeper in a white apron, starched collar and little peaked hat. In her hand she held up, victoriously, a computer mouse that she'd evidently just cheerfully yet violently yanked out of the back of somebody's hard-drive.
I was really smug about Net Nanny for two months.
The four younger boys were stymied by NetNanny for a day and a half. A clever friend of theirs secretly taught them how to turn off my computer, turn it back on, and quickly create a "guest" account other than mine. My computer "guest" was named "Franny," in honor of our stocky middle-aged rat terrier. On Franny's account, there was no Net Nanny and there was no Mom but there were, however, plenty of fleshy, top-heavy, rouged and evidently outgoing young women.
I may not be of the Internet generation, but even I know that a rat terrier would have no interest in a computer guest account. Wordlessly I retaliated with stricter software than NetNanny. The new protective software was called Safe Eyes. Safe Eyes stopped young teenage boys from accessing any website other than one entitled www.FunWithFractions.com.
So the boys down-shifted to other media.
One day a $767 bill arrived from our cell phone carrier. Close scrutiny revealed that the excess charges arose from the boys' cell phone numbers: hard-core sex scenes had been downloaded from the Internet onto the tiny screens.
"I didn't know they had Internet access on their phones," I protested to Customer Service (not wanting to mention, "I didn't know you could even get two female breasts on such tiny screens.") What I did say was: "They told me they needed cell phones so they could call when soccer practice was over!" Hadn't each portrayed himself as at risk of abandonment, alone and fearful on a darkening and vast soccer field as night closed in, long after the parents of boys with cell phones had come and gone? Customer Service waived the charges because the boys were not supposed to have Internet access on their mobile phones.
So that portal was closed. But the boys journeyed on.
A cable TV bill arrived from Comcast, charging us for a pay-per-view purchase of an X-rated movie about pole-dancing.
Pole-dancing is not, I recently learned, the festive springtime event of European folk culture in which young girls hold ribbons and weave in and out around a central post, wrapping it in a rainbow of pretty colors while adult males in short pants and knee socks whistle into wooden flutes. That is "Maypole dancing." Pole-dancing is another thing entirely. I am learning so much!
When I checked the date on the Comcast bill, I realized I'd had a middle-school son home sick on that very day. At the precise hour of the movie screening, he'd been "napping" on the basement sofa, in front of the big-screen rec-room TV, upon which non-Maypole dancing was being anthropologically examined.
Furious with the $20 fee, I pounded down the stairs, found this son, and held out the bill to him. "This was the day you were home sick. That was your movie and it cost us $20! What are you going to do about it?"
"Oh, OK," he said mildly. He slipped into his bedroom, removed his wallet from a drawer, took out a twenty and handed it to me.
Mollified, I couldn't think of anything to say other than: "Hey, thanks!"
Back upstairs in the kitchen I had misgivings, which I shared with my husband, Don Samuel, a criminal defense attorney. "I'm not positive," I said, "but I think that I just sold our 14-year-old son pornography."
"That's not good," said Donny.
To which I replied: "I feel like his pimp."
Of course we tried "Parental Controls" on the television.
"Parental Controls" should have the subtitle: "Ask Your Kids to Show You How to Install These Things." The only Parental Controls we ever successfully set up on a television blocked nothing the children ever wanted to view, but resulted in our being unable to ever watch the "Jim Lehrer Newshour" on that set.
Thus, it should not have been an enormous surprise when, on a Saturday afternoon in August, another cable TV bill arrived, this one charging $120 for unsanctioned pay-per-view purchases, through the cable box in the basement, of XXX-rated movies involving, variously, lingerie, lesbians, Las Vegas and — no doubt — the Kama Sutra and perhaps even Virginia.
This time I was really mad. We'd had the excruciating and one-sided discussions about relationships, true intimacy and respect for women. I'd held these conversations (or "monologues") with our daughters and I'd held them with our sons, because my husband (defender of the criminally charged) is incapable of allowing such delicate topics to cross his pure lips. I explained how demeaning it is to women to be perceived as sex objects; I touched upon the importance of respect in the approach to intimacy and marital happiness. The night I sat on the edge of 13-year-old Sol's bed to broach the subject, he fell straight backwards onto his pillow as if he'd been shot, and then reached out and pulled the bedspread up and over his face, refusing to reappear.
On the afternoon that the pay-per-view bill arrived, the four younger boys and friends were lounging around the kitchen table eating cold cereal and popsicles.
"I need to talk to the Samuel boys RIGHT NOW," I announced, the bill shaking in my grip as if I'd just grabbed a live duck out of the air.
The boys' friends evacuated.
Twelve-year-old Helen peeked in, wondering if she were needed.
"I said the Samuel BOYS!" I roared. Helen fled.
I smashed the fluttering bill flat onto the table. "One hundred twenty dollars!" I shouted. "Who is going to pay for this?"
Daniel and Yosef, who'd lived in America for less than a year, instantly lost all English-speaking ability.
Sol put up both hands in self-defense and shook his head no. He glanced around with a shocked and concerned expression, as if startled to find himself in such low company.
Jesse, the Bulgarian 13-year-old who was somehow constantly in hot water, sighed and coolly raised one finger as if signaling a waiter to bring the check. "It was me," he said.
"Really?" I asked, stunned at the rapidity of the confession. "All the movies? You?"
He sighed again. "Yep."
"Jesse, that is a ton of money."
He tsked sadly in regret at his own behavior and said, "I know." He shook his head, as if to say, What am I going to do with myself?
"Go get your allowance book," I snapped. He handed over the account register while his three brothers watched expressionlessly. "This will take you till … December to pay back," I said. "You've got no spending money till then."
"OK, Mom."
"Can we go?" asked Sol, eager to put distance between himself and this distasteful subject.
"Go." I waved the others away.
In a minute, Sol was back. For the second time in a three-month period, he was removing a $20 bill from his wallet and handing it to me.
"What's this for?" I asked.
"To help Jesse."
"Really?" I asked, startled. I was touched.
"Here, Mom," said Daniel, having regained a few words of English. "Help Jesse." He gave me a ten.
Yosef then produced $40. "Yosef, sweetie! You don't have to do this."
He shrugged modestly as I kissed him.
"Jess, sheesh! You've got nice brothers," I said. "You'll be able to pay off the rest of the bill easily."
With a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes from these fraternal kindnesses, I made my way to the front room, where Donny reclined in his overstuffed chair reading his law books. "You will not believe what just happened. We have incredibly sweet boys!" I told him about the money they'd donated to Jesse's case without anyone asking for it.
Donny glanced up from "The Eleventh Circuit Criminal Handbook," said, "They watched the movies, too," and returned to his reading.
Why? Why am I such an idiot? I've been raising children for decades, and this insight would never have occurred to me.
The next day I found Jesse eating a bowl of Froot Loops alone in the kitchen. "Jess," I said, "those movies … Did any of the other boys watch them with you?"
"Mom! Are you kidding me? I didn't watch any of them! Did you see the times those movies were ordered?? Five in the morning! They watch them before school. I don't get up that early!"
It was true. My sons from Ethiopia, who'd once worked as goatherds, were up at dawn every day.
I sputtered to reply. "Well … why did you say it was you?"
"Did you see their faces? They were terrified," he said, and returned to his Froot Loops.
When I relayed this news to Donny, he laughed and said, "They must have been thinking, 'Jesse's always in trouble. Jesse can take the heat.'"
I'm a sucker for sibling solidarity. To celebrate Jesse's having paid off his bill and the spirit of fraternity that helped him do it, I took the kids to a movie. I took the six youngest males and females to the Disney-Pixar animated movie, "Wall-E." "Thanks, Mom!" "That was really fun, Mom!" everyone said when we got home from our big night out. The two girls headed upstairs to their bedrooms, and the four boys ran for the basement stairs.

Burger King's black cheeseburger: Made with squid ink and bamboo charcoal, arguably a symbol of meat's destructive effect on the planet. Only available in Japan.
McDonald's Black Burger: Because the laws of competition say that once Burger King introduces a black cheeseburger, it's only a matter of time before McDonald's follows suit. You still don't have to eat it.
Domino's Specialty Chicken: It's like regular pizza, except instead of a crust, there's fried chicken. The company's marketing officer calls it "one of the most creative, innovative menu items we have ever had" -- brain power put to good use.
Arby's Meat Mountain: The viral off-menu product containing eight different types of meat that, on second read, was probably engineered by Arby's all along. Horrific, regardless.
KFC'S ZINGER DOUBLE DOWN KING: A sandwich made by adding a burger patty to the infamous chicken-instead-of-buns creation can only be described using all caps. NO BUN ALL MEAT. Only available in South Korea.
Taco Bell's Waffle Taco: It took two years for Taco Bell to develop this waffle folded in the shape of a taco, the stand-out star of its new breakfast menu.
Krispy Kreme Triple Cheeseburger: Only attendees at the San Diego County Fair were given the opportunity to taste the official version of this donut-hamburger-heart attack combo. The rest of America has reasonable odds of not dropping dead tomorrow.
Taco Bell's Quesarito: A burrito wrapped in a quesadilla inside an enigma. Quarantined to one store in Oklahoma City.
Boston Pizza's Pizza Cake: The people's choice winner of a Canadian pizza chain's contest whose real aim, we'd imagine, is to prove that there's no such thing as "too far." Currently in development.
7-Eleven's Doritos Loaded: "For something decadent and artificial by design," wrote one impassioned reviewer, "it only tasted of the latter."

Chemistry Department Seminar. Carolyn Bertozzi Univeristy of California Berkeley. "Bioorthogonal Chemistry"
January 23,
Druckenmiller Hall, Room 020
The molecular details of biological processes can be most accurately understood by probing biomolecules within their native habitats – in cells, or even better, live organisms. To interrogate biomolecules in such complex settings requires the means to selectively modify them with imaging probes, affinity reagents, or moieties that perturb function. Toward this end, we have focused on the development of chemical reactions that have such exquisite selectivity that they can be employed to modify biomolecules even within the environs of live organisms. Such "bioorthogonal" chemical transformations include C-C bond forming reactions with aldehydes, which we employ for site-specific protein chemical modification, as well as reactions of azides that enable in vivo imaging of metabolically labeled glycoconjugates. Progress toward the development of chemically modified protein therapeutics and methods for imaging disease-related glycans will be discussed in this presentation.

"Carol Anne, listen to me! Do not go into the light! Stop where you are! Turn away from it! Don't even look at it!"
In the first video where you get absorbed by the light if i was caught in that scenario and couldn't escape i would use the gravity momentum to accelerate my self like a bullet and go there like a fast madman attacking and destroying everything in front of me until this weapon/trap is destroyed and able to continue like a free soul swimming around the soul dimension.
Similar strategy was shown in the movie "sherlock holmes a game of shadows" where a fisherman caught a shark which jumped on his boat ate the fisherman took his smoking pipe too and walked away like boss.
Similar strategy i had seen in an old movie don't remember the name now where a white guy was caught by an indian/mongolian/snake tribe and put him on a tug war against their champion, in their middle there was a big hole full with snakes. The white guy was losing and right before he fell into the hole with snakes he use the momentum of his enemy that was pulling him and run and jump over the hole to his side and start beating the crap out of him! then jumped onto his side and pulled that mongol lizard into the hole full with snakes.
Imagine in the first video a fisherman behind the light caught you on his gravity gun, what do you do? waste your energy trying to get away or whooping his ass? using the pulling gravity to your advantage also to deliver a massive blow to him. Imagine delivering a punch in lighting speed!

More and more information about business processes is recorded by information systems in the form of so-called "event logs". Despite the omnipresence of such data, most organizations diagnose problems based on fiction rather than facts. Process mining is an emerging discipline based on process model-driven approaches and data mining. It not only allows organizations to fully benefit from the information stored in their systems, but it can also be used to check the conformance of processes, detect bottlenecks, and predict execution problems.
Wil van der Aalst delivers the first book on process mining. It aims to be self-contained while covering the entire process mining spectrum from process discovery to operational support. In Part I, the author provides the basics of business process modeling and data mining necessary to understand the remainder of the book. Part II focuses on process discovery as the most important process mining task. Part III moves beyond discovering the control flow of processes and highlights conformance checking, and organizational and time perspectives. Part IV guides the reader in successfully applying process mining in practice, including an introduction to the widely used open-source tool ProM. Finally, Part V takes a step back, reflecting on the material presented and the key open challenges.
Overall, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in process mining. It is intended for business process analysts, business consultants, process managers, graduate students, and BPM researchers.Content Level » Research

A team of retired former detectives with over 80 years service between them and three very distinct personalities is recruited to re-examine unsolved crimes. The squad is headed up by Sandra Pullman - a detective in disgrace after bungling a hostage situation. Adapting to the new touchy-feely 21st-century police strategies - not to mention working under a tough woman with her future on the line - isn't easy, as the three discover with plenty of comic results. From the discovery of a new motive in the killing of a college lecturer, to the tracing of a missing child, the team finds a way through the detail that eluded the original officers. But they are finding a surprising incidence of cover-up and conspiracy in their new investigations. Are their superiors about to close ranks? Or is someone feeding them particular files? Either way, the suspicion that they are being manipulated is high - and the team is determined to get to the bottom of it. These old dogs won't roll over too easily. The series stars Amanda Redman as Superintendant Sandra Pullman, Dennis Waterman as Gerry Standing, Alun Armstrong as Brian Lane and James Bolam as Jack Halford.

Lord Maginnis said he left the party with considerable regret but said after 50 years in politics that he couldn't allow himself to be "gagged".
It follows a dispute with the party leader over comments he made about gay marriage.
On Tuesday Lord Maginnis claimed that, after Mr Nesbitt was elected, the new leader avoided seeing him.
"I would have expected as a senior member of the party, to be seen almost immediately and that's not self-flattery, that's the practicalities of running a party, a party that should have policies and a party that should be demonstrating direct concern for the welfare of our community," he told UTV.
Mr Maginnis accused the leader of using the gay marriage comments as an excuse to push him out of the party.
He added that he did not encourage his colleagues to follow in his footsteps.
Ken Maginnis says although he has resigned from the UUP, he does not want to lead an exodus from the party.— Ken Reid (@KenReid_utv) August 28, 2012
Ken Maginnis says although he has resigned from the UUP, he does not want to lead an exodus from the party.
— Ken Reid (@KenReid_utv) August 28, 2012
But the peer said that, in his view it was a mistake to elect Mike Nesbitt as leader, but added it was "up to the party to decide".
In June Lord Maginnis spoke out in strong opposition against allowing same-sex couples to marry in church during a BBC radio debate, repeatedly referring to it as "unnatural and deviant behaviour" which shouldn't be "imposed" on society.
The senior politician said that gay relationships were "a rung on the ladder" towards bestiality.
At the time the Ulster Unionist Party distanced itself from his controversial remarks and stressed that he was speaking in a personal capacity and not for the party.
Mr Nesbitt later withdrew the party whip from Lord Maginnis.
Reacting to the announcement on Tuesday, Mr Nesbitt expressed his regret at Lord Maginnis's decision to resign. "This is not the outcome I have been seeking - quite the opposite, in fact. On behalf of the Party and the unionist people more widely, we owe a debt of gratitude to Ken Maginnis," he said in a statement.
"He was a fearless advocate of the Unionist cause, serving the community as a teacher, an Officer in the Ulster Defence Regiment as well as a public representative during his time in elected politics.
"He was the sort of progressive unionist I admire. I regret we will not have access to his experience and expertise as we move to rebuild and revive this great Party. However, 50 years service is a lifetime's devotion, and I must respect his decision."
He added: "I hope we can now focus on a legacy of service over a number of decades rather than concentrate on more recent matters, which I believe could have been resolved at any time."

The France international is reportedly unhappy with his current situation in the Spanish capital and could be on his way to the Premier League this summer for around £22 million
Karim Benzema has attracted the interest of Arsenal with his strong performances for Real Madrid in the past couple of months, Marca reports.
Gunners manager Arsene Wenger is allegedly looking to add a new attacker to his squad in the summer transfer window to partner Robin van Persie, and has set his sights on the 23-year-old.
Benzema moved to the Spanish capital from Lyon in the summer of 2009 but has struggled to make an impact at the Santiago Bernabeu, despite enjoying a decent goalscoring run of late.
The French international was in impressive form in the first months of 2011, but was dropped from Madrid's starting XI again for the Champions League matches against Barcelona, much to the dismay of the striker.
A report earlier this week suggested that Madrid are determined to hold on to Benzema, but Arsenal are hopeful that an offer in the region of £22 million will be enough to lure him to London.

The "Hands-up. Don't shoot!" gesture that five St. Louis Rams made during pregame wasn't the first time athletes have used their platform to make political statements.

People You Know, June - Nov. 2001
Greg Friberg (75, BS, math; 75, BS, computer science; 83, MS, computer science) writes, "After getting my master's, I got married and moved to Las Cruces, N.M., where I have lived ever since. I worked for several contractors at White Sands, but due to the incompetence of those I worked with, I always ending up being promoted to supervisor or manager, stressing out because I hated it, and quitting. After several nervous breakdowns I divorced my wife and quit working altogether. Now I seem to be able to handle life (finally!!!) as long as I take my daily dose of Prozac."
"I now spend my time taking care of my 91-year-old father, Martin (Flash) Friberg, who was a professor of mathematics at Tech from 1951 to 1975; taking care of my daughter, Sara, 13, soon to be sophomore at Mayfield High (skipped 3rd and 8th grade); and building a business restoring classic cars. I've got four acres on Highway 70 just outside of Las Cruces with one of the biggest classic car junk yards in the Southwest.|"
Dr. Stephen Malkowski (92, BS, biology) writes, "After graduating from Tech, I entered medical school at UNM where, after eight years, I completed an M.D./Ph.D. I spent the last year as a post-doctoral fellow at Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute in Albuquerque. I am moving to Portland, Ore. to start an internal medicine residency. In 1999, I married Theresa O'Donaughy. We have a one year old son, Calvin."
Travis Nelson (97, BS, environmental engr.) and Jocelyn Nelson (97, BS, TC) report, "We are happy to announce the arrival of our wonderful baby, Connor Ryan He arrived on May 17, and weighed in at 8 lbs. 4 oz. and 21 inches long.
Sgt. Joseph Stroud (97, BS, geology) is a member of the New Mexico Air National Guard. Last year, during the Cerro Grande fires near Los Alamos, he volunteered to assist with the financial aspects of supporting the operation. For his efforts, he was awarded the New Mexico Distinguished Service Medal. This year, he was selected to be the accounting liaison for the Air National Guard with the Defense Finance Operating Location in Limestone, Maine. He is the first Air Guardsperson in the nation's history to be selected for such a position.
Joe writes, "I will miss the state of New Mexico when I move, but this is a rare opportunity that only comes knocking once in a great while in a person's life and I am honored to have been selected for it."

Get LISNews via email! Enter Your Email Address:
I want to apologize for accidentally posting last week's episode again for folks to get. I have now posted the correct episode that I recorded with Blake. I was afraid something like this would happen but am grateful that it happened around the twentieth episode instead of earlier.
Downloads and plays at this point should have the new episode in play. If you are wondering why the episode bounced back up on the front page, such was part of trying to get iTunes to see that as an episode revision so that iTunes users would get a re-post with the correct episode. Unfortunately it did not work. Users of iTunes will have to manually download the episode to hear it or would have to engage in the kludge of unsubscribing then re-subscribing to the feed.
How can this be avoided in the future? Well, financial support to the podcast might help to an extent. The past two weeks have been fairly rough with an odd situation at my "day job". At a cost of USD$1,500 per month the podcast could become my day job and this would be my only concern. Such would also free me up to have more flexibility in trying to land interviews and not have to worry about what craziness might erupt at my day job. You can find out how to donate at http://www.lisnews.org/node/29265 as well as learn how you can buy ad time to promote either you or your product.
For now, enjoy the newly posted episode. Feel free to leave comments or feedback. Follow the contact details at http://www.lisnews.org/node/29265 if you want to try co-hosting the podcast with me via Skype.
I don't think it counts as an apology if you attempt to extort money in the same breath.
I would imagine that calling what was written to be extortion might well be a wee bit over the top. I tried to be straightforward about things. There was a problem. I had to resolve it. This is a way to resolve it so that it does not happen again. After a week where 40 hours was considered "part time" it is somewhat surprising that I was even able to pull off what I could. With the continuing emergency at my place of work there is seemingly no end to it yet and, with the way the labor market is locally, jumping ship is a non-starter. It is not like this is the first time I have asked folks to support the program.
It is somewhat disturbing to think that the podcast could be run for free indefinitely. Booking guests is not an instantaneous matter. It took a few days to track down Mr. Dvorak and finally conduct the interview segment. Putting ideas together can take up to 40 hours a week or more from start to finish. Equipment breaks and has to be replaced as my tripping over cables at times can cause. Putting out a podcast that people might listen to is not a zero-cost proposition.
The funny thing is how much balking there is to any financial support at all. The full cost of conducting operations per year would be around sixty thousand dollars per year. That I am only looking for funding to cover eighteen thousand dollars per year means I am only seeking to cover thirty percent of production cost with most of that going to equipment purchasing and a small fraction going to pay subsistence wage so that I can keep a roof over my head. The reason I find all this surprising is how some are able to support things like NPR or PBS yet cannot or will not support something in the profession. Relatively speaking our costs are far lower than those of NPR or PBS affiliates.
If you regard the post as a threat, I can only regard that as paranoia. There is no threat there. Such should be seen as a cry for help. Blake has heard enough of that cry for help from me as it is. The question is, can you hear it?
Stephen Kellat, Host, LISTen
If I were prone to vulgarity I would use some of my fine friend Fang-Face's bon mots.
However I am not (unless performing auto repairs) prone to such and thus I must simply call you a boor. I also made a small donation in your name. I hope you are pleased.
Mdoneil, you are a hypocrite.
There is nothing that cannot be found offensive by someone, somewhere.
Did you think otherwise? I don't think I claimed to be anything but.
P.S. when you get a chance see if you can send some nice cooler weather down this way.
$60K is ridiculous for putting out a 20-30 minute weekly podcast. That comes to $2300 a podcast. For a basic podcast all you really need equipment wise is a computer (which you have), a microphone ($30 or so), some recording software (Audacity is freeware), a broadband internet connection (which I imagine you already have anyway since most people do, especially techies like yourself), and some bandwith to host the podcast (which LISNews.com provides). By my guess that'd be less than a thousand in the first year as an initial investment, then a few hundred in subsequent years.
As for content, LISNews provides it all for free, so there's no need to be spending 40 hours a week on it. For the podcast just do a weekly summary of all the news stories that are posted here (heck, you could even just read what is posted), adding your own comments about each story. If you want to jazz it up a little you could have a special guest each week for free--just ask coworkers and colleagues at other libraries to come on the show and talk, or even have LISNews readers be guests via phone conversations that you record.
Really, Mr. Kellet, either you're exagerrating your expenses a ton (which seems likely) or you're wasting your money a ton (which also seems likely). Tens of thousands of people put out weekly podcasts, and I guarantee you they're not spending $60k a year doing so. As for subsistence wage, that's what your real job is for. Podcasting for LISNews is a hobby, not a job, and there's no reason you should be paid for it unless LISNews makes it a salaried position for you.
I think he was asking for $1500/month. Twelve months times $1500 is $18,000 not $60,000.
I don't think he is going to get that. Also he needs to be more professional. Mentions of how messed up his job are and comments about tripping over cords does not imbue me with a sense of confidence that if funds were given they would be used wisely.
