Hall-effect current sensor IC is optimised for 3.3 V operation at high temperatures
The device consists of a precision, low-offset linear Hall sensor circuit with a copper conduction path located near the die. Applied current flowing through this copper conduction path generates a magnetic field which is sensed by the integrated Hall IC and converted into a proportional voltage.
Device accuracy is optimised through the close proximity of the magnetic signal to the Hall transducer. A precise, proportional voltage is provided by the low-offset, chopper-stabilised BiCMOS Hall IC, which is programmed for accuracy at the factory.
High-level immunity to current conductor dV/dt and stray electric fields, offered by Allegro proprietary integrated shield technology, guarantees low ripple at the output and low-offset drift in high-side high-voltage applications. The output of the device has a positive slope when an increasing current flows through the primary copper conduction path used for current sensing.
The internal resistance of this conductive path is typically 100 microhms, providing low power loss. The thickness of the copper conductor allows for 200 A continuous current sensing applications and survival to much higher transient currents.
The terminals of the conductive path are electrically isolated from the sensor leads, allowing the ACS759 family of sensors to be used in applications requiring electrical isolation without the use of opto-isolators or other costly isolation techniques. The device is fully calibrated prior to shipment from the factory.
Typical applications include motor control, load detection and management, power supply and DC/DC converter control, inverter control, and overcurrent fault detection.
The ACS759 sensor IC is lead (Pb) free. All leads are plated with 100% matt tin, and there is no lead inside the package. The heavy-gauge leadframe is made of oxygen-free copper. The device is available in a small 5-pin CB package with easy mounting capability.

nice, generic eletric piano. It's light on resources and it's quite
adjustable, which is great, though I do think it sounds a little dull
somehow. Definitely worth installing, though.
The other option is the Learjeff jRhodes3 soundfont
(http://learjeff.net/sf/sf.html). It's only 76MB, so it's a bit lacking
in velocity layers compared to a good commercial sample library, but it
still sounds great. Works fine in Fluidsynth/Qsynth, though I used sfZed
to convert it to SFZ format to use with the Linuxsampler plugin.

DJ Adam Wingard and Simon "The Fresh Prince of Darkness" Barrett Take Aim on Espionage Thriller 'Dead Spy Running'
Movie News By Rob Hunter on September 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat do you do when your first several efforts in the horror genre are quiet successes and your most critically acclaimed feature is delayed more than a year? If you're director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett you sign with a major studio to adapt a bestselling spy thriller to the big screen. The duo behind A Horrible Way to Die, segments in V/H/S and The ABCs of Death, and next year's You're Next have done just that. Per Deadline by way of /film, their next project will be an adaptation of Jon Stock's Dead Spy Running for WB. The book is the first in a trilogy about a disgraced MI6 agent named Danny Marchant thought to be a traitor by his own people and the CIA who is forced on the run to prove both his own innocence and his dead father's. The rights were snapped up on publication back in 2009, and since then various names have been attached to direct including McG, Stephen Gaghan and Jonathan Levine. Wingard and Barrett have come on board with an existing script from Gaghan (and Jamie Moss) that tweaked the novel's lead character just a little bit. Marchant will no longer be a spy on the run… He'll be a DJ.
McG Finds Post-Terminator Work With Dead Spy Running

Look into using virtual machines to separate each desktop, that's my knee-jerk reaction.
Also look at how Google Chrome separates each browser tab into its own process which enables one tab to crash while the program stays up and running. Silly, I know, but a good basic description can be found in the Chrome comic book: www [dot] google [dot] com/googlebooks/chrome/small_04 [dot] html (sorry if that's below your level, I am not sure where you're at) (( also sorry for the [dot] notation, it's stupid that you have to post 15 times on this forum to post links))
Good luck!

Chef's hat (Handout / December 6, 2006) |
The upcoming chefs' auction in Orland Park is an opportunity to sample fare from a dozen restaurants under one roof, win a special prize and raise money for charity.
The Village of Orland Park is partnering with the American Cancer Society to present the 14th annual Chefs' Auction to Benefit Breast Cancer Research. The Mardi Gras-style event is scheduled from 6-10 p.m. Feb. 20 at Orland Chateau, 14500 S. LaGrange Road in Orland Park.
Mimi's Café, Jenny's Steak House, Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant, Flavor Restaurant, Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery, Robert Morris Culinary School, Bakers Square and other area restaurants will serve signature dishes, with wine and ales also on the menu.
"Expect different types of food from local establishments, some great raffle prizes and a really fun bidding war," said Caroline Gaba, event manager for Cooper's Hawk.
The restaurant, which has participated in the chefs' auction the past five years, will serve Over the Border egg rolls and jambalaya, a house favorite. Winemaker Rob Warren will select wine pairings.
Each participating restaurant creates a package for the live auction, which is conducted by Orland Park Mayor Dan McLaughlin.
"Restaurants donate all of their food and staff and also an auction package from their establishment to be bid upon," said Joseph La Margo, Orland Park public information officer and deputy village clerk. "There are two to four artists who paint a picture depicting the ambiance of some of the participating restaurants. These original works of art are included in that restaurant's auction package."
The auction, which typically draws 300 guests, also will include music and a raffle. Tickets are $55, $90 per couple or $600 for a table of 10.
Tickets are available at the Recreation Center, 14650 S. Ravinia Ave., and the Village Sportsplex, 11351 W. 159th St.
All proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society for Breast Cancer Research. To date, the event has raised about $200,000, La Margo said.
For more details, call 708-403-7275 or 708-645-7529 or go to orland-park.il.us.

"It will be interesting, if we keep going, to see how Don deals with that, where he falls in the balance of power," Hamm says. "Because if Don is one thing, it's adaptable. He knows how to read a room."
He is also, in nearly every way—politically, socially, emotionally, professionally—on the wrong side. That the show actually makes you like, even envy, him is one of its more brilliant and perturbing strokes.
"Look, if you were a white man, Manhattan in the early '60s was a sandbox. There was tons of pussy. There were great restaurants, great bars, great strip bars—all within a $5 cab ride," Hamm says. "But in the end, that stuff is all soul-crushing—the way that Girls Gone Wild is soul-crushing. It'll make you want to kill yourself."
Hamm makes no secret of where this vein of desperation comes from. On a wall outside his office, he shows me a photo of a weathered man sitting in a dark-paneled room, wearing a tweed hat. Judging by the sideburns and the green stripe on his cardigan, the photo was taken in the late '70s. He's looking at the camera with an expression both bemused and filled with deep-seated regret. In one hand, held with instantly recognizable precision, is a burning cigarette. This is Dan Hamm in his declining years, but it could easily be Don Draper in his.
"I remember the first time I was in costume: I was sitting in my dressing room, running lines in the mirror, and I thought: Oh, my God! I look just like my father," Hamm says. "He was just so fucking sad. Here's this guy that looks like he's got the whole package, but there's nothing inside but sadness."
But Dan Hamm is only one part of the story. If you're looking for someone who understands that your world can be upended at any moment, who knows—like Draper or, for that matter, Jay Gatsby—how hard and perversely won is the freedom to pursue the American dream, to light out for the coast and reinvent yourself from whole cloth, for that, you might want to look not to the father but to the son
Back at Hamm and Westfeldt's home, we sit in the sun-drenched backyard, watching hummingbirds dart in and out of the trees. Cora dozes at Hamm's feet. At first, he says, the couple's decision not to get married was a pointed one. "We thought, Marriage is for squares," he says. "Now it's more that neither of us has particularly good models of what a marriage is supposed to be. It's not something we grew up wanting." (Being among the last of their friends to remain childless does put a crimp in the couple's social life, but as Hamm points out, "If you want to have dinner after 6 p.m., there are always the gays!")
"I believe that happiness is fleeting," he says. But that's not the same thing as saying it doesn't exist. "Look, I know I hit the jackpot here. I found this role that sits well on me. I've managed to become successful without any taint of compromise. I get to share it with my girl. I get how lucky I am."
Drying on the back of a porch chair is a wet suit he recently wore while participating in the swim leg of a charity triathlon in Malibu.
"You dive in the water and you think, Shit. It's cold. It's too far. I'll never make it," he remembers. "But then you take a deep breath. You get a little groove going. You concentrate on the next buoy, then the next one, then the next one. You start to enjoy the swim. And then, all of a sudden, it's like, 'Sweet. I'm here.' "

The BEST of the Best
By: Sheila Coffield (May 5, 2014)
I must say I have posted on this Farm before. Its been 5 years and we have yet to buy from anyone else. We stopped looking 5 years again when we found Deer Run Farm of Amelia. When you find the BEST, you stick with it! Thank you Hutchinson Family for working EVERY DAY to bring such quality to our table. You truly do believe in quality not quantity. Thank you!

The best beef in Richmond!
By: Vivian Hedrick (Aug 23, 2011)
I hesitated to write a review because I didn't want everybody to find out about it and then buy up all of the only good beef in the Richmond area!!! It truly is fantastic. The best I've had since my dad raised our own cows when I was a little girl ~ nearly 50 yrs ago! It is delicious ~ from the hamburger to the steaks to the roasts. I'm happy to have happened upon the farmer's market where Deer Run Farms sells their meats. It has become a necessary staple at our house!

I agree! After buying other "Grass Fed" beef, we realized Deer Run Farm of Amelia is the best in Richmond. They are truly Grass Fed AND Grass Finished. Through alot of research, I found that MANY Farmers DO NOT finish their cattle on grass, they use "other" feed to "bulk" them up before going to process......which to me, defeats the purpose of eating Grass Fed! Deer Run Farm has NEVER let us down. Thank you Hutchinson Family for doing what you do AND doing it RIGHT!
Grass Fed Beef
By: Sheila Coffield (Jan 17, 2011)
You cant go wrong with these folks! We received our 1/2 side of beef in September. What a difference in "grocery store" meat over Grass Fed Beef. We have been VERY happy with Deer Run Farm beef and chicken's! Cant wait to get more beef and chickens from Robert & Ruth Ann!! May 2011 cant come soon enough!

We have purchased beef from Deer Run Farm 2 years in a row.
We had heard all sorts of Pros and Cons about grass fed beef. We took a chance and we were not disappointed at all! The meat was so tender and had a great flavor. No need for a lot of spice and sauces!
The butcher Deer Run Farm uses also does a good job. The packaging is clearly labeled and CLEAN.
I have been to the farm several times. What a beautiful place.
I cant say enough about Robert and Ruth Ann. They are great people to work with: honest, friendly and very informative.
Thank you! The Copes

Deer Run Farm
By: Sheila Coffield (Apr 13, 2010)
Thanks to the documentary FOOD INC., we became educated on how our food is processed.
On our first trip to Deer Run Farm, we bought many chickens.
Ruth Ann showed us around their farm and was very informative. We cooked 2 chickens this week end, they were absolutely mouth watering. What a difference between free range and grocery store, low grade chickens! We also have on order 1/2 side of beef and we cant wait to get that order!
Thanks Ruth Ann for showing us around your farm and for taking such great care of your animals. See you in May!

By: Meg Haring (Feb 4, 2010)
Their grass-fed beef is deliciously tender and Omega-ly healthy, and their service is personal, thorough and convenient. The folks at Deer Run Farm are amazing stewards of God's great earth. We are ordering again -- I highly recommend!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/MILITARY: House halts funds for new nuclear warhead

Wed Jun 20, 2007 6:30PM EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday
moved to block President George W. Bush from developing a new generation
of atomic warheads, as Democratic and Republican opponents said the
administration had not developed an adequate post-Cold War nuclear
A fiscal 2008 bill funding Department of Energy weapons programs that is
moving through the House provided none of Bush's nearly $89 million
request for continuing to develop the new warheads over the next few
decades at a multibillion-dollar cost.
A vote on passing the overall bill was delayed until sometime after a July
4 holiday recess so lawmakers can review a series of unrelated projects
that will be attached to the legislation.
The bill, which faces a White House veto threat because it would spend
$1.1 billion more than Bush requested, still must be debated by the
"I don't think it is asking too much for a comprehensive nuclear strategy
before we build a new nuclear weapon," said Rep. Peter Visclosky, the
Indiana Democrat steering the money bill through the House.
Rep. David Hobson, an Ohio Republican, also voiced opposition, saying that
while "The concept of RRW (Reliable Replacement Warhead) has merit if it
allows us to have a smaller stockpile of more reliable weapons ... all we
have right now is a vague promise."
The proposed warheads would replace some that are 30 years old and could
deteriorate if not properly maintained. Some supporters of the new warhead
argue that small changes might be needed to extend the life of the
existing ones and that could lead to nuclear testing for the first time in
more than a decade. They also say the large existing stockpile could be
replaced with fewer, more efficient warheads.
But opponents challenge assertions that testing would not be needed for
the new warhead. They also say the existing stockpile could be maintained
indefinitely and there is no military need for a new, costly weapon.
A House Appropriations Committee report said that going ahead with the
program also would present diplomatic problems because "of the U.S. policy
position of demanding other nations give up their nuclear ambitions while
the U.S. aggressively pursues a program to build new nuclear warheads."
The Bush administration has been trying to pressure Iran to abandon a
nuclear program that Tehran insists is aimed at energy production and not
producing weapons. For a long time, the United States also has been
cajoling North Korea to end its nuclear weapons program.
In a statement last week, the White House said it "strongly opposes the
committee's decision to eliminate funding for the Reliable Replacement
Warhead." But it did not say Bush would veto the bill over this issue.
Rep. Heather Wilson, a New Mexico Republican whose district includes the
Sandia National Laboratories that works on nuclear weapons projects,
called the House provision "devastating to American nuclear weapons
capabilities" and said it was "rubbish" that the United States had not
developed a post-Cold War strategy for nuclear weapons.
The House bill would spend $5.9 billion on Energy Department weapons
programs, $632 million below Bush's request and $396 million below this

Jammer's Review
Star Trek: The Original Series
"Day of the Dove"
Air date: 11/1/1968
Written by Jerome Bixby
Directed by Marvin Chomsky
Review by Jamahl Epsicokhan
The mutual distrust between the Klingons and the Federation becomes the center of attention for Kirk when he takes Klingon prisoners aboard the Enterprise for trespassing in Federation space and attacking a Federation outpost. Once aboard the ship, an alien entity that thrives on hostility allows the opposing forces to lock into a repetitive cycle of combat—allowing an equal number of Kirk's men for every Klingon on board to fight above decks in a sort of arena of violence.
"Day of the Dove" isn't great, but it's good—showing more promise than many third-season offerings. Michael Ansara as Kang provides a good adversary for Kirk, as the distrust between the two sides elevates into an all-out battle of swordplay, courtesy of the animosity-inducing alien presence.
The "violence is bad" message is pretty obvious, but it manages to work fairly well in the story's context. I particularly liked the scene where Kirk and his crew come to realize that they're feeding off racially motivated hatred, even if it was a little overplayed. The end provides a classic Trek solution, where the two sides end hostilities to be rid of the alien entity's cycle of pointless bloodshed. Not groundbreaking, but respectable.

It's a pretty good episode, though I couldn't quite figure out why the alien's ability to mess with people worked faster on some people than others. Chekov is almost instantly affected, then McCoy, then Kirk, Spock and Scotty.
And was there actually a colony on Beta XII-A?
Although I do think the episode deserves some brownie points for giving us a memorable Klingon villain with genuine charisma, depth of character and intelligence (TOS Klingons normally lack all three!). And praise for the effective anti-war sentiment showing us the hideous nature of hatred and those in power who feed on it.
3 stars is my rating too. One scene which really surprised me was when Checkov nearly raped Kangs' wife, I didn't think TOS could go that dark! A scene showing Checkovs' remorse and apology for that incident would have been nice even if he wasn't in control of his actions, it would make for a good character moment.
One minor detail that threw me off was when the Enterprise fired on the damaged Klingon ship and destroyed it. Why did this need to happen? My impression was that this action would backfire since the evidence of the initial attack on the Klingon ship would be destroyed, thus increasing the suspicion that it was a Federation attack. Of course, it didn't play out that way.
1) the semi-literal one: the "war monster" represents human interests who profit from war -- arms dealers, governments who stay in power by manufacturing conflicts, what have you. In fact, there are many industries that do benefit from war. The thing is, the people who benefit from war are very often not the soldiers who are fighting it. Kirk's final speech to Kang -- "Be a good soldier! Don't question orders!" -- suggests this idea: Kirk and Kang, and their respective crews, are convinced by mind control (which maps onto propaganda) which exploits their emotional weaknesses to push them into neverending conflict, which goes from generation to generation, and benefits not the fighters but the masterminds.
2) the very abstract one: the "war monster" represents the human aggressive impulse as a rule. When people get enraged, and when they get trained to fight, eventually fighting and the hatred of one's enemy becomes habitual. Its reason for existing is pretty clear -- as animals, competing for resources, fighting was a matter of survival, and emotional/instinctual charge to fight and continue fighting would help survive. But taken out of its proper context, this can "take over" otherwise rational people entirely, as happens here with the human and Klingon crews, unless they can correctly identify and fight against this impulse. People are responsible for their actions -- but the things carried out by fighters in the frenzy of war are so often so far from what those same people do in peacetime, that it is clear that it is sometimes difficult to keep perspective when in the emotional thrall of combat mentality. The way the creature ramps up aggressive and vengeful impulses, to the point of having Chekov nearly rape the Klingon science officer (!!!), represents this well.
I think both levels are suggested by the episode, and it makes it a fine allegory. If peace were completely easy to maintain, there wouldn't be war; it requires effort to fight against internal or external signals that stoke conflict. This works as a sequel to "EoM" because this time Kirk has taken the lesson from the Organians and now applies it to his own life -- he is now able to convince Kang (and himself) to stand down, rather than having to be forced to stand down.
The episode does introduce, as Adara points out, the concept of Klingon honour, though a little indirectly. We also get our first picture of female Klingons, and I like that she's a high-ranking officer -- and a science officer, which puts her into direct analogue to Spock. (Funny moment: Kirk and Spock's awkward little glance when Kang says that she is his wife and science officer.) Kang is charismatic and a good match for Kirk -- in terms of strategy and eventually in terms of reasonability. I like how he even uses his own biases against the alien -- they need no incentive to hurt humans! And I like "only a fool fights in a burning house."
Execution-wise, I can't escape the general feeling I have from other season three episodes that there's not quite enough material for an hour-long show. I think the choice to show the violence monster energy cloud in the teaser detracts a little, because it becomes abundantly clear from the very first moment that something is affecting people. But I still think it's an effective story. 3 stars -- one of the better and more essential s3 outings.

How to erase 2nd drive's bogus GPT, and restore origional MBR?
A buggy drive management tool erased my SECOND (not boot) hard drive's MBR and replaced it with a completely bogus and useless GPT. My actual partitions should be intact, and I am optimistic that partition recovery tools would be able to find them and restore the original partition table. However, they won't work, as long as the drive is identified as a GPT disk. How can I erase all traces of GPT so I my recovery tools can rebuild an MBR? I have MBRWiz, but I am shy about using it, and I have no experience with it, and I fear for my data. |

I just recently had this issue but with a portable USB HDD that was formatted using WIN XP.
What I did was use my WIN XP to remove all the data from the drive and then followed this post: How to delete GPT Protective Partition - Paul Gu|blog Worked like a treat, but this may not be quite the same situation as yours and as that post says, you will lose all the DATA from the drive. |

If you can use this before mucking around with the drive too much you'll likely lose no data. |

I got some compensation from the vendor of the "management tool", in exchange for a promise of no public claims that their crappy software is crappy. So I will not. But if the "management/recovery" software does not not explicitly support GPT and UEFI, do not even let it be possible for it to run when you are "managing" your drives.
Please share if you know of robust GPT/UEFI partition recovery software. |

The only tool I've read about that works is Acronis True Image Home 2012 with the plus pack addon. I have no personal experience with it, but I've read a few posts that said it worked.

This week's of Online Commentaries and Diversions: Review: An Age of License by Lucy Knisley "…the in-process method of writing and drawing her adventures as they happen gives a vibrant immediacy to situations and sensations. Belying her relatively simple but charming cartooning style, Knisley pages are a cornucopia of information and detail: oversized seagulls, bilingual schoolchildren, and lying sat-navs populate her travels." – Publishers Weekly Review: Twelve Gems by Lane Milburn "In Twelve Gems, Milburn has created a playful homage to the genre that also incorporates some of the "Marvel-isms" that were injected into the form in the '60s and '70s by Jack Kirby (primarily in The Fantastic Four and Thor) and Jim Starlin (during his stints on Captain Marvel and Warlock). The result is a work that can be enjoyed by a diverse body of comics readers, ranging from old school fans of the form all the way through to newbies who just saw the Guardians of the Galaxy movie." – Bill Boichel, Comics Workbook Review: Sucker Bait and Other Stories (The EC Comics Library) by Graham Ingels, Al Feldstein, et al. "Graham Ingels is the poet laureate of the EC horror comics. His stories are some of the most iconic of the entire line, full of newly revived corpses, horrific villains and some of the scariest moments that have ever been put down on the comics page." – Jason Sacks, Comics Bulletin Review: Buddy Buys a Dump by Peter Bagge "Buddy's life paralleled my own in some sense (crap jobs, weirdo roommates), but essentially I am not, nor will I ever be like Buddy Bradley. I certainly know the type, however, and therein lies the appeal of Buddy as a main character. The revolving cast of nut jobs that Buddy attracts to himself, and is attracted by, doesn't hurt the appeal or comic potential either, nor does the sharp wit, great dialogue and Bagge's unique style of rubbery, quavering limbs, popping eyes and massive pie holes shouting and swearing off the pages." – Chris Auman, Sound on Sight

Purchase a $10 day pass here before they sell out and go to the coolest con in Indiana!
Paste Magazine released a list of the 100 Best Comic Book Characters and a few are from Fantagraphics books! Here are our highlights: 88. Buddy Bradley from Hate, Buddy Buys a Dump, etc. "For some, though, Bagge's early '90s hipster caricature was the closest comics got to depicting the world Gen X'ers knew, or at least the world they thought would make them look cool if they acted like they knew it. Through Buddy, Bagge bitingly dredged up the paranoia at the core of every '90s alt doofus." – Garrett Martin 35. Enid Coleslaw from Ghost World "Teenage girls, in particular, get the short shrift in comics as Betties and Veronicas, but Enid is spunky, dangerous and recognizably human. In Ghost World, Enid brings her glorious three dimensions to the trials of adolescence." – Hillary Brown 28. Miyamoto Usagi from Usagi Yojimbo "Whether training under his Lord Mifune or traveling as a directionless Ronin, this rabbit bodyguard holds more gravitas and depth than any other anthropomorphic animal." – Sean Edgar 15. Uncle Scrooge from Carl Bark's Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck "His cantankerous, money-crazed persona is tempered by a sympathetic backstory from Barks, showing how the millionaire waterfowl earned every dime of his immense wealth through hard work and cunning. This simple setup has fueled decades of stories, the animated series DuckTales and, more recently, a new series of acclaimed reprints of Barks' classic comics by Fantagraphics." –Zack Smith 11. Hopey from Love and Rockets/Locas by Jaime Hernandez "Hopey is all spikes and broken glass - a kid at heart - and, as children are, often thoughtless, selfish and wild. That she manages to be completely endearing and relatable to the reader speaks to Hernandez's achievement in Hopey's characterization." – Hillary Brown 10. Maggie from Love and Rockets/Locas by Jaime Hernandez "Maggie's evolving, deepening emotions since 1981 make her one of the most realized and substantial characters in the entire comics medium. She's stereotypically feminine in many aspects - emotional, irrational, eats her feelings - but she also bends gender norms, as evidenced by her talent as a mechanic." – Hillary Brown
From Seattle to Scandinavia -- Peter Bagge will be a featured guest at the 2014 Oslo Comics Expo! This June 12th-14th, get ready to say "velkommen" to Pete at the Schous Plass -- all the fun goes down in the Deichmanske Library at Grünerløkka. (Not only are there fantastic comics and guests, but there's also a bar on the second floor!) Pete will be signing his latest collection, Buddy Buys a Dump, which contains the last nine issues of Hate Annual and completes the current story arc with a new twenty-page conclusion. You won't want to miss this rare appearance from one of the legends of alternative comics! Schous Plass is located in the south of the borough of Grünerløkka in Oslo. OCX is free and open to all.
About the time I began working for Fantagraphics as marketing and promotions director, Peter Bagge ran a contest in the third issue of his wildly popular Hate comic book. "Win a Date With Stinky" urged female readers to "Send in one or more glamorful photos and/or drawings of yourself" and "Explain in 25 words or less why you're worthy of Stinky's affection." What self-respecting woman, I wondered, would enter a contest to win a date with a comic book character? Named Stinky? I was about to find out. I spent several months acting as Peter's unwitting accomplice on a series of surreptitious "Stinky Dates" that saw me playing Leonard the Love God opposite lovely and talented young artists like Jessica Abel and Dame Darcy. This buffoonery was documented in the pages of Hate, much to amusement of my wonderful wife, not to mention the fashionable alternative rock band Babes in Toyland. (Don't ask.) Like countless members of my generation, Peter Bagge's Hate was a funny and affectionate chronicle of my misspent youth. Beyond that, his work played a pivotal role in shaping the ideology of a youth movement that penetrated popular culture on a global scale. His comix have enriched our lives in ways we can only now begin to appreciate. Join us in celebrating the many accomplishments of this incredibly gifted artist on Saturday, May 10 at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery as we debut the latest, and perhaps final chapter of the Buddy Bradley story, Buddy Buys a Dump. The reception includes an exhibition of original comix pages, complimentary beverages, a book signing, and special musical performances by Kelli Frances Corrado and The Hinges. See you all at 6:00 PM on Saturday. |

Tag: "Harvey Nagler"
Tuesday, September 9, 2014
Radio Television Digital News Association Honors Nagler. This past Friday night (9/5) in Nashville, CBS Radio News vice president Harvey Nagler received the Radio Television Digital News Association's John F. Hogan Distinguished Service Award. The honor recognizes an individual's contributions to the journalism profession and freedom of the press. During his acceptance speech, Nagler stated, "Schools must be incubators for innovation in a field that desperately needs it." Many years ago, those in radio, television, and print, Nagler remarks, were "the messengers," who decided what Americans would know. "Today it is the reverse," he opines. "Everyone can publish – everyone can, at least, perceive themselves as journalists. Content is ubiquitous. It is often hard to discern the big picture from individual snapshots of information that flood our devices. To place context on stories, many still seek out journalistic entities with traditional values. In the end, it proves we still need to be able to turn to journalists and news organizations we can trust." Believing that the public's "appetite for news has never been greater," Nagler emphasizes, "It is our job, our responsibility, our mission to maintain that trust as we broaden our roles on new platforms, while continuing to serve our audiences on our traditional platforms." Prior to becoming vice president of CBS Radio News nearly 17 years ago, Nagler is credited with establishing the phrase, "traffic and weather together on the eights" when he was director of news programming for CBS Radio New York's WCBS-AM.
A Case for Accurate Headlines. A story published today in TALKERS magazine by WFAN, New York sports talk host Richard Neer underscores the position talk hosts often find themselves in today when taking on a delicate – and complicated – issue. Neer accurately points out that in today's media culture, where all content must be immediate, fresh and provocative, there is little time for anything that isn't black and white or that involves any depth. Neer writes that for the talk host, "There is no tolerance for asking questions that have no easy answers. Certain stories are reported from only one angle. Anyone who carefully parses a statement that the press declares politically incorrect is defined as supporting the dark side. Forget nuance, once you are attacked by the consensus bullies, you can only surrender and apologize, lest you lose your livelihood." He points to one of the culprits in this matter: the news headline. Neer says so many headlines are misleading and are written purposely that way to tantalize to get people to read the story. But often times, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear the headline is misleading or even the exact opposite of what the text of the story shows. Still, what readers (assuming people actually go on to read the story) often come away with is a "glib conclusion based on the headline." Read his entire piece here.
Brian Joyce Show Gets Permanent Billing on WGOW, Chattanooga. Mid-afternoon talk show host Brian Joyce tells TALKERS magazine that the 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm time slot on Cumulus Media's WGOW, Chattanooga "Talk Radio 102.3" is now officially called the Brian Joyce show. Since he took over the slot in April of 2012, the daypart had been called "Live & Local." Joyce also reports that since he began hosting his show, that daypart has gone from 10th in the market among Men 25-54, and 15th in the market among Persons 25-54, to among the top three in both demos, making it the first time in station history that this has been accomplished.
Tribune Sports Talker WGWG-LP, Chicago Announces Changes. A couple of changes to report at the sports talk outlet WGN Radio programs on low-power FM WGWG, branded "The Game 87.7 FM." In conjunction with Tribune Media, the station announces Chicago Bears' cornerback Tim Jennings and safety Ryan Mundy will join as on-air contributors appearing on segments during the "Kap & Haugh" and the "Jarrett, Harry & Spike" shows, as well as Jennings co-hosting the weekly hour-long program, "The Jennings & Jarrett Show," with The Game's Jarrett Payton. Jennings and Mundy will also provide updates on WGN-TV during the morning and evening news. At the same time, as Chicago media writer Robert Feder reports, Howard Griffith goes to part time with his duties at the station, due to his workload at the Big Ten Network. Griffith had been sharing equal billing with Alex Quigley and Ben Finfer on the station's afternoon drive program.
Clip Interactive Announces Revenue Successes in Portland and Indy Markets. Saying that it measures its success based on the new advertising dollars that its interactive radio apps bring to its station partners, Clip Interactive announces its apps developed for Alpha Media and Salem Broadcasting in Portland and Cumulus Radio in Indianapolis have generated more than $1 million in new revenue to date in 2014. Further, the company says Clip Radio-powered stations are producing $100,000 of new revenue within 30-45 days of launch and Clip says this shows not only that radio advertising works, but also proves that an innovative and revenue-generating mobile solution is now available and radio advertisers embrace it. Moreover, Clip says this net new revenue is coming from multiple sources including advertisers who are completely new to radio and returning advertisers who previously left radio for digital media. Alpha Media's president and CEO Bob Proffitt comments, "We are now able to attract advertisers that had previously abandoned the medium for alternative digital solutions. Through the Clip Radio-powered apps, we are able to build a stronger relationship with both our listeners and our advertisers, providing both groups with compelling content that they cannot find anywhere else. We are eager to expand our interactive radio capabilities to our other Alpha Media markets."

When the talent changes take place later this month at Entercom's WEEI-FM, Boston, current "Mut and Merloni" co-host Mike Mutnansky will exit that show but remain with the station as host of the station's Boston Red Sox pre- and post-game shows.

Bid4Spots: Auction an Alternative to Unsold Inventory. In a piece published today (7/23), TALKERS managing editor and West Coast bureau chief Mike Kinosian profiles Dave Newmark's successful Bid4Spots digital auction initiative. There was a time when numerous players were getting into the business of using the internet to deal with unsold inventory on radio stations. Dave Newmark tells Mike Kinosian why the others failed and how he struggled to find the right business model that would eventually lead to success. It was during a casual conversation with a software developer when he had an epiphany. "I immediately thought of those ad exchanges and I realized what they all had wrong. They had the supply and demand equation backwards. Forward auctions work well only when the demand is high and the supply is low. If I could figure out when demand would be at its lowest point – when regular airtime buyers were pretty much gone from the store – it would be as close to 'next week' as possible." Newmark's road to success was not a smooth one. In this fascinating piece he details his trials and tribulations. He also explains why stations and advertisers are happy with his model of moving unsold inventory. Read it all here.
Are You a Thinker or a Feeler? More importantly, are your listeners and callers thinkers or feelers? In a new TALKERS column posted today (7/23) by branding specialist Dr. John Tantillo, he states that understanding the difference between these two approaches to the issues of the day can have an impact on your show and determine how effectively you orchestrate discussions of them on the air. Using the examples of the current Zimmerman verdict and Rolling Stone cover controversy, Dr. Tantillo examines the relationship between branding and controversy pointing out that the most important thing to focus upon is how the controversy directly impacts the customer's (or fan's) loyalty to the brand and nobody else's. He says we should be less concerned about public relations and more interested in "targeted relations." To read the entire column, please click here.

MEDIA BROKER SPOTLIGHT: Mark Jorgenson of Jorgenson Broadcast Brokerage. In this week's installment of Media Broker Spotlight, Sandi Bergman of RadioTVDeals.com interviews media broker Mark Jorgenson of Jorgenson Broadcast Brokerage of Greenville, South Carolina. Jorgenson was a 12-year veteran of television sales and radio ownership in Southeastern markets before deciding that he liked putting deals together better than he did operating stations. He says, "I enjoy matching people up with great opportunities and that's what the brokerage business is all about." Jorgenson describes today's radio station market as "sluggish due to a lack of capital to finance deals." He says, "There are plenty of potential buyers and even more potential sellers but without institutional financing to make the deals happen, we won't see the volume of transactions we've seen in the past. Brokers have to be creative and persistent to make deals happen in today's financial climate." He continues, "There are even radio deals where some portion of the purchase price might be handled with a seller note. The key is for the buyer to have access to at least some cash. Private investors, family, and friends are the most likely source to finance new ventures these days." To read the entire installment of Media Broker Spotlight, please click here.

WTOP's Jim Farley Accepts 2012 "Freedom of Speech Award" at Talkers New Media Seminar; Honor Presented by CBS Radio's Harvey Nagler. The 2012 "Freedom of Speech Award" was presented at the 15th annual Talkers New Media Seminar held yesterday in New York City to Hubbard Radio's vice president of news and programming at WTOP, Washington, Jim Farley. In presenting the honor to Farley, CBS Radio News vice president Harvey Nagler noted that when one enters the WTOP newsroom the First Amendment is written in large, bold letters on the wall. Nagler described Farley as part P.T. Barnum, one part Edward R. Murrow and one part cheerleader. "He's steeped in journalism and his journalistic ethics are unparalleled. Just think how many newsrooms have the First Amendment written on their wall. Very few I suspect. He has a very strong sense of principles. His favorite statement is, 'First get it right, then get it first.'" In accepting the "Freedom of Speech Award," Farley recounted to the standing-room-only crowd the story of the ACLU taking the principled stand of defending the rights of a group of neo-Nazis to march through the largely Jewish suburb of Skokie, Illinois in 1977 even though it cost the organization 30,000 members. "I'll never forget that kind of defense of the First Amendment contrasted with people today who want to silence opposition and controversial voices. A big damned difference!" The "Freedom of Speech" ceremony was part of the New York edition of the New Media Seminar attended by a sold-out crowd of 400 talk media practitioners. TALKERS magazine will have more coverage of the event in the days and weeks to come. The Los Angeles edition of the NMS takes place on October 11.

The country's first full-time sports talk radio station is preparing for the July 1 25th anniversary of its debut as a sports station with events and retrospectives commemorating the groundbreaking format birth. Operations manager of WFAN and vice president of sports programming for CBS Radio Mark Chernoff states, "We are proud to be a part of the fabric of New York sports. WFAN has appreciative and engaged listeners who are the backbone of the station. Our audience, along with our sports talk personalities have allowed WFAN to achieve such groundbreaking success and helped the station become an institution in the Big Apple. It is no coincidence that the station is nicknamed 'The Fan,' acting as a mouthpiece for die-hard sports enthusiasts." The station will celebrate all summer long with special programming and highlights will include "Subway Series" ticket giveaways and live broadcasts from New York sports events and locations. Also, the station is asking its loyal fans to vote on the top 25 New York sports personalities of the past 25 years for a chance to win $500, along with a key which could start the grand prize, a brand new Kia from Global Auto Mall.

"Broadcaster" Makes #10 on CareerCast's Worst Jobs List. Don't tell this to WTOP's Jim Farley but CareerCast's list of the 10 Worst Jobs for 2012 as published by CNBC places "broadcaster" – meaning on-air TV or radio talent – as one of the 10 worst jobs for 2012. CareerCast writes, "The news business has always been high stress for comparatively low pay, which makes it a shoe-in for the 'worst' list. Add to that the changing digital times and you've got your No. 10 worst job…The broadcast industry has gone through a lot of shrinkage as much of the news is moving to digital formats including online or mobile, which has shrunk demand for broadcasters as well as salaries and compensation. Many radio and TV stations are relying heavily on young talent and interns (i.e., lower pay) as opposed to experienced broadcasters." CareerCast lists the median pay as $27,324.
KFWB, Los Angeles Debuts Ken Rutkowski's "Business Rockstars" Program. A new afternoon talk program debuts on KFWB, Los Angeles beginning June 18.

Driving from the dry south to the wet north felt like a trip from Mars to a Tropical forest. The clouds were unable to push over the high grounds to the south side of the island, making the north side wet and lush and the south dry and harsh. I kept thinking that the land I was standing was once molten lava from the deepest depths of the earth. The layers were clearly apparent here, even to my untrained eyes.

"Everyone goes back for these, male, female,young or old. We only modify by using a citrus or orange vodka. I've used this for birthday parties, book club, camping.
