Independent School students to compete in national oratory competition
Two Wichita middle school students will deliver speeches at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., next month as part of a national oratory competition.
William Rowley and Reid McConnaughey, both eighth-graders at The Independent School, will represent Kansas in the Ford's Theatre National Oratory Fellows program. Independent is the only school in Kansas to participate in the program, which supports teaching historically important speeches and original oration in the classroom.
Dave McIntire, a middle school history teacher at Independent, was named a Ford's Theatre fellow last year, one of only 14 nationwide. He has worked with students this school year to prepare them for the competition, analyzing the Declaration of Independence, Shakespearean sonnets and other works and holding master classes with Ford's Theatre teaching artists.
"This has been an amazing opportunity for the school and my students," McIntire said. "I can honestly say this experience has changed the way I teach."
Rowley and McConnaughey were judged the winners of a school oratory competition in February and will travel to Washington the first week of May. McConnaughey will perform Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech; Rowley will deliver former President Ronald Reagan's "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall" speech.
For more information about the Ford's Theatre Oratory Fellows program, visit www.fords.org/oratory.

Hello, I own several of these 6 oz ramekin bowls in corelle "winter frost" -- a bright white. Since these are Livingston, not Winter Frost, I'm assuming that though they look white, the shade may be a little darker, or different in some way. However, writing to double-check, in case Livingston is just a newer version of bright white (my corelle is quite old). Also please, can you tell me what shipping would be to Pennsylvania, 19063 for one case? Thanks very much for any further information.
Hi, this 6 oz bowl is part of the Winter Frost Collection. I will update the product page with that information. If you add you desired amount to the cart on our website, you can enter your zip code and it will give you an estimate on shipping costs. Thank you. |

Older people might remember having an account with the Midland Bank (remember the griffin logo?) which HSBC took over in 1987. |

Capitol Hill: House Receives DTV Transition Bill
New legislation has been introduced in the U.S. House to address several key issues associated with the current analog cut off in February 2009. Much of the measure is designed to provide additional help in alerting consumers to the pending cut off of analog signals. (Similar legislation has already become law.)
Under the new bill's provisions, retailers would be required to display signs near analog sets to alert consumers that after Feb. 17, 2009, they will need to connect the current set to a converter box, or to cable or satellite services, to receive broadcast signals.
Also, broadcasters will be required to file regular reports with the FCC detailing what consumer education efforts they are undertaking, such as airing PSAs. And the FCC would be required to create a pro-active public outreach program to help educate consumers.
The bill is being co-sponsored by three GOP minority members: Reps. Joe Barton (R-Texas), Fred Upton (R-Mich.), and Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), the former speaker. The entire bill is available
in a PDF file from the NAB, which supports the measure.

Drug War Crimes Recorded: Thursday, May 6, 2004
Each year, the U.S. government spends over $30 billion on the drug war and arrests more than 1.5 million people on drug-related charges. Currently more than 318,000 people are behind bars in the U.S. for drug violationsmore than the number of people incarcer-ated for all crimes in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain combined. Have current drug laws deterred drug abuse and reduced crime? What are the real costs of this countrys war on drugs? Is there a link between the homicide rate and the amount of resources given to drug prohibition? Please join us as Boston University economist Jeffrey Miron (author of the major new book, Drug War Crimes) and former San Jose police chief, Joseph McNamara, examine these questions and explore real alternatives to Americas War on Drugs.
Jeffrey A. Miron
Boston University Professor of Economics and author of the new book, Drug War Crimes: The Consequences of Prohibition. His articles on Drug Policy have appeared in Social Research, Boston Globe and the London Observer. He received his Ph. D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Joseph D. McNamara
Research Fellow, Hoover Institution. Former Chief of Police, San Jose, CA and Kansas City, MO. He has published articles in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, and other publications. He has been a commentator for NPR and has appeared on Meet the Press, Good Morning America, Sixty Minutes, and other programs.
Ethan A. Nadelmann
Founder and Executive Director of the Drug Policy Alliance, the leading organization in the United States promoting alternatives to the War on Drugs. Dr. Nadelmann received his Ph.D. and J.D. from Harvard University and a Masters degree in International Relations from the London School of Economics.

The Drug War on Trial: Two Judges Speak Out Recorded: Wednesday, September 5, 2001
Drug abuse is a serious problem, but the "War on Drugs" shows no sign of being won and has come with a heavy price tag. Critics say that its side effects- increased taxes, increased crime and corruption here and abroad, loss of civil liberties, decreased health, prison overcrowding, discrimination against African Americans and other groups, and the diversion of resources away from other problems- are even worse for society than the drugs themselves. Many public officials share this sentiment but fear political reprisals if they speak out. However, Judges James Gray and Vaughn Walker, having witnessed the Drug War up close, believe that the time has come to testify publicly about its ill effects- and to outline bold, new approaches to the drug problem.

Marcus Anthony Gayle (born 27 September 1970, Hammersmith, London) is an English born Jamaican former professional footballer, who was most recently manager of Staines Town. Gayle's primary position was as a striker but also played as a winger and central defender towards the end of his career. His most notable clubs included Wimbledon and Watford before he finished his playing career at AFC Wimbledon. He won 14 caps for Jamaica and was a key player for his country at the 1998 World Cup tournament.
After retiring as a player, he became manager of the AFC Wimbledon reserve team for three years before taking charge of Staines Town in 2012.
Club career[edit]
Gayle started his career at Brentford in 1988, scoring 26 goals in 193 appearances for the Bees. He was loaned to KuPS in 1990, before becoming a regular player in the Brentford side under new manager Phil Holder in 1990–91, when the Bees qualified for the playoffs but lost to eventual promotion winners Tranmere Rovers in the semi finals. He played 33 games in the Third Division that season, scoring six goals. He was a key part in their Third Division title success for the 1991–92 season, scoring 6 goals in 38 games to give Brentford a place in the new Division One, as the old Second Division would be known from the start of the 1992–93 campaign due to the creation of the FA Premier League. The 1992–93 season looked as though it would be a successful one for the Bees, who entered the new year in 10th place and on the brink of the playoff zone, with all the talk at Griffin Park being about a second successive promotion and top division football for the first time since 1947. However, a collapse in the second half of the season saw the Bees relegated. Gayle initially remained loyal to the Bees, but on 24 March 1994 he linked up with his old Brentford striker partner Gary Blissett in a £250,000 move to Wimbledon, who were in the process of finishing a creditable sixth place in the Premier League.
Gayle played an influential part during the nineties, He made his debut for Wimbledon two days after joining them as they beat Leeds United 1–0. He played in their final 10 games of the 1993–94,helping the dons to 7 wins 2 draws but unfortunately did not score. He scored his first two goals in 1994–95, playing 23 games as the Dons finished ninth. He missed just four league games in the 1995–96 season, scoring five goals and helping Wimbledon finish 14th. In his best season for the Dons, 1996–97, he scored a total of thirteen goals, eight league goals as the Dons finished eighth in the Premier League and reached the semi finals of both domestic cups. He also scored the winning goal for the Dons in a surprise FA Cup fourth round replay 1–0 win over Manchester United in February 1997.[2]
1997–98 was less successful. The Dons began the season well and were in the top five for much of the first half of the season, but a dismal second half of the campaign saw them finish 15th. Gayle was a regular player once again, appearing 30 times in the league, but scored just twice.Gayle's form was good enough to make his debut for Jamaica in February vs the mighty Brazil in the gold cup and later featuring in the 1998 world cup in France that summer. He was their top scorer in 1998–99, scoring 10 league goals, but once again their good form tailed away to a late season slump and they finished 16th. He did manage seven goals in 1999–2000, but defeat to Southampton on the final day of the season and a surprise win for relegation rivals Bradford City over Liverpool meant that Wimbledon's 14-year stay in the top flight was over. In seven years with the Dons, Gayle played 285 games scoring 48 goals .
Gayle initially stayed loyal to the Dons in spite of their relegation, playing 32 league games and scoring three times in the 2000–01 campaign before he finally departed on 9 March 2001 in a £1million move to Scottish Premier League giants Rangers. He made his debut against Dundee United, adding just another three more appearances, before moving back down south to join Gianluca Vialli's new look Watford side for £1million.[3]
He played just four times for the Gers until a close season return to England when he joined Watford for £900,000. He started off brightly by scoring five goals in first 14 matches until a back injury hampered his season . he was as expected to leave, along with most of Vialli's other unsuccessful signings, in the summer of 2002. However, he re-emerged as a centre-back under new manager Ray Lewington, and won the Player of the Season award that year. He also scored in the club's 2–1 defeat to Southampton in the FA Cup semi-finals and part of the group of players that deferred some of their wages to help the club out of their financial difficulties .Another good season followed in 2003–04 forging a good partnership alongside captain Neil cox, but injury plagued his 2004–05, and he left Watford two days after the sacking of Lewington in March 2005.
Return to Brentford[edit]
He re-joined Brentford, his first club and made 37 appearances for the Bees helping them to two consecutive play off semi finals, scoring twice. Gayle was released from his Brentford contract on 17 May 2006.
Aldershot Town[edit]
He signed for Aldershot Town on 2 July 2006. He scored the first hat-trick of his career for the Shots on 14 October 2006, coming on as a second-half substitute to score three times in just 9 mins 30 seconds against Kidderminster Harriers.[4] In February 2007 Gayle damaged his ACL knee ligaments and cartilage, but still made the last few matches of the season he was released by Aldershot at the end of 2006–07 season scoring seven times in 28 appearances.
AFC Wimbledon[edit]
He was signed for AFC Wimbledon in May 2007 by former Aldershot manager Terry Brown, making him only the second player to play competitively for both AFC Wimbledon and the old Wimbledon FC (the first being Jermaine Darlington)[5] and, after scoring against Maidenhead United in the FA Trophy,[6] becoming the only player to have scored for both incarnations of the South West London club and helping them to promotion to the conference south before retiring from playing that summer.
International career[edit]
Gayle was capped by England at U17 level but later decided to switch allegiance and play for Jamaica who he was eligible to represent through his father. When a player at Wimbledon, Gayle signed a contract in June 1997 with a clause that restricted him to only represent England at international level. Horace Reid of the Jamaica Football Federation complained to FIFA about the restriction and the FIFA Player Status Committee refused to recognise the clause and allowed Gayle to change allegiance to Jamaica in January 1998.[7]
Gayle was capped 14 times for Jamaica and played at the 1998 CONCACAF Gold Cup in United States and the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.Jamaica's first ever World Cup finals .Gayle didn't play in the 3–1 defeat by Croatia at the Stade Félix-Bollaert, 13] Or as Jamaica lost 5–0 to Argentina at Parc des Princes, but did play in the final group H match and beating Japan 2–1 at Stade de Gerland.[14][15]. Gayle was made captain the following year vs Canada and held that honour for a year before retiring.
Managerial career[edit]
AFC Wimbledon[edit]
He announced his retirement from competitive football after AFC Wimbledon sealed promotion to the Conference South following a 2–1 Isthmian League Premier play-off final victory over Staines Town.[8][9] He is presently working towards his coaching badges and in September 2008 took the role of AFC Wimbledon reserve team manager. In his first year of taking over he guided his talented squad to two cup finals, winning the suburban league challenge cup and runners up in the suburban challenge shield in 2009. Runners up in the league came in 2010. In 2011, his reserves collected the league trophy for the very first time and also the champions cup, very unlucky not to pick up the treble after losing to South Park in the Suburban Premier Cup.[10] Marcus is a member of the Wimbledon Old Players Association and has played for Wimbledon's Masters side and Old Players XI.[9]
On 15 May 2012, it was announced that Marcus had been appointed as first team manager of Staines Town.

I think artifical island would benefit both mankind and fish for habitats and recreation. I am for isalnd creation!
I think artifical island would benefit both mankind and fish for habitats and recreation. I am for isalnd creation!
i know blumberg he's an idiot. He's talking out of his ass. This won't happen. don't get me wrong though i'm all for spitting barrels on uninhabited islands, just don't see this happening.
I think this is a pretty bad idea. Sure it has the potential to protect the mainland from wave damage but I think it would create problems that coastal areas would deal with daily: Erosion.
I think man-made islands this close to the coast would act as funnels and strip the existing beaches of their sand faster than the next 100 year hurricane could dream of doing.
YES! Finally somebody is talking some sense in this thread! In my book, island creation = job creation! The only issue I have is the limited scope and vision of the original idea.
I propose that the island chain be extended from Maine down the entire East coast around the tip of Florida and continue along the Gulf coast to where Texas borders Mexico. This will provide multiple benefits to all. Hurricanes and tropical storms will be stopped dead in their tracks. With a bit of 'Merikan ingenuity we could probably keep all the sharks out to sea as well. We can designate these islands as official Piping Plover habitat and do away with that issue too. It will enhance the security of our borders by keeping pirates and brown people on rafts at bay. Lastly, we can relocate the Keystone XL pipeline from the middle of the country to these islands and run it straight to the refineries on the Gulf. No more Negative Nancies screaming NIMBY. It won't be in anybody's back yard! Once we get the Kock brothers behind this thing it is going to fly, I tell ya. I see nothing but win, win, win, win!
This is the stupidest shoreline negineering idea I have ever seen!

This idea is perfect for marooning all these damn midgets we have crawling around here.
I have to disagree....8-10 seconds is basically on the lower side of a medium period, which we get all the time, most of our swells are short/medium periods and are generated mostly "locally" by the wind (storms). We only get a few legit long period swells a year (15 seconds +). So we would still have waves, just not anything great. Also, something to think about...the islands won't stop the wind generated by spinners.

it will never happen
You got no clue dog. An 8 second period swell will not be generated from a distance of 10-15 miles. That's all you have to work with. Only CHOP(period less than 5 seconds will be created) and that will die out almost immediately once the winds go offshore. That's why long island sound has no waves. And neither do the great lakes. It's not a large enough area to create 8-10 second energy with offshore winds.(those video's you see of lake superior rideable are the once a year for a few hours if you're lucky)
An 8 second swell come from hundreds of miles away. The period is determined by how large of a fetch the wind is blowing over. Not how far away it came from. Obviously though ground swells decay less and can come from THOUSANDS of miles away. If you have a good wind fetch for a low pressure system a 100 miles off hatteras, you will get a 8-10 seconds period swell on nj. If you have those islands, you'll get NOTHING. The waves(short period wind swell) will smash into the islands. And it will be a little unrideable chop inside that on nj shore.

Symphony Sessions
Album Samples
About The Album
In the spring of 2006 the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra called Steve and suggested he might consider doing a concert with them. It took awhile for Steve to realize the offer was serious, but once convinced, he and his manager Dave Zeglinski enlisted the help of Mike Janzen, and they got to work
Mike Janzen brilliantly arranged thirteen of Steve's most celebrated songs. Manager Dave Zeglinski set out to orchestrate the concert's promotion and production. Then, on Nov 17 of that same year, Steve, his band, and the WSO took to the stage in front of a sold out audience at the Manitoba Centenial Concert Hall.
The enthusiastic response to the concert encouraged Steve and his manager to consider recording the material, and in late spring 2007, they created a studio out of a Winnipeg down-town Church, and recorded the Symphony Sessions with the WSO.
Since then they have gone on to perform more than two dozen concerts with Symphonies across Canada and into the US. One such concert was filmed in Edmonton's magnificent Winspear Theatre with the ESO resulting in Steve's third Concert DVD. More recently, in late 2010, Steve performed to a rapt capacity crowd with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Toronto's Massey Hall.
More symphony concerts are being planned for Fall 2013

Dynamite Hack
Dynamite Hack is a post-grunge band, formed in Austin, Texas in 1997 taking its name from a line in the film Caddyshack in which Carl Spackler (Bill Murray) describes the marijuana he is smoking as "dynamite hack" to Ty Webb (Chevy Chase).
They are best known for their cover of "Boyz-n-the-Hood", an acoustic re-imagining of the rap single by Eazy-E. The song was the first single from their 2000 album Superfast and peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. In its wake, the group recorded a full-length album, titled Superfast, which was released locally in January 2000 and remixed for national distribution by Universal that summer. The single was also used in the tribute to rap Take a Bite Outta Rhyme: A Rock Tribute to Rap
According to their Facebook page, Dynamite Hack was expected to release their "lost" second album How to Break Up a Band in the summer of 2011.[1] A new track "My Gun" can also be streamed on that page.
A new single, "Sunshine", from the upcoming album "How To Break Up A Band" was released on 7/11/11 with 4 non-album bonus tracks.
- Mark Morris (guitar/vocals),
- Chad Robinson (bass/vocals),
- Mike Vlahakis (guitar),
- Emily Morris (guest vocals),
- John Henniger (drums on Pillowhead),
- Chase Texas (drums on Superfast),
- Tripp Wiggins (live drummer),
- Kyle Schneider (drums),
- Josh Fleckinstein (song writer/vocals)
- Pillowhead (1998)
- Superfast (2000)
- Sunshine (Single/EP) (July 11th, 2011)
- How to Break Up a Band (2011)

Posted Mar 16 2011 9:49AM
MIAMI -- It was a moment that explained Chris Bosh's style, when he caught a pass and found himself right under the basket against the Spurs on Monday night. Normally, a 6-foot-11 player in this situation would spike the ball through the hoop, sending tremors through the arena, along with a warning.
But Bosh did as Bosh does and went for the lay-in instead.
He missed. Both the shot, and a chance to chip away at a reputation.
He scored 30 points against the Spurs, his second 30-point night all season, and most telling is how Bosh got those points: all free throws and jumpers. Not a single dunk. That's almost hard for a power forward to do, although it did explain how Bosh isn't your typical player at that position.
More than any of the Big Three, Bosh is often cited -- if not outright dismissed -- for not being someone what he should be, namely, a rim-chewing, paint-scrubbing inside force. Calling him a finesse forward is actually being kind; others just flat out say he's gentler than your grandmother's touch. This is mainly confined to media-types and fans, although Wednesday night will bring Oklahoma City and Kevin Durant, who broke rank when he fumed about Bosh being a "fake tough guy" following a tense loss to Miami two months ago.
Yesterday, Bosh said: "All that stuff is squared away. He made some comments after that game, probably when he was upset. That's no big deal. We talked about it."
His teammates are supportive, but when they worry publicly about their inability to score inside points, as LeBron James and Dwyane Wade repeated recently, it sure sounds like they're sending an indirect plea for Bosh to move a few feet closer to the basket.
It's a request that's both fair and unfair, asking Bosh, the only big man on the roster who doesn't treat the ball as a live grenade, to change his entire mindset when it comes to offense. That's quite a sacrifice for a player who never really played any meaningful games in his NBA career until now.
Has any current All-Star ever dealt with those demands? To be who he is not? Not LeBron, who has the same responsibilities and freedom as he did in Cleveland. Same for Wade. And is it even possible to make such change after playing a certain way for seven years? Old habits don't break easily. It's not simple to stray from a comfort zone. Bosh will not morph into Moses Malone overnight, or ever, and you wonder if he's doing himself more harm than good by even making the attempt.
"Trying to change has hurt me more than anything else," Bosh said. "I've spent so much time worrying about fitting in and worrying about too many other things instead of just playing basketball.
"People are always going to tell you what you can't do. People have been doing that my whole life. If I would've listened to them I wouldn't be here playing in the NBA. It started when I started playing basketball and it won't stop until I'm done. It's all about what I believe in. And I believe I can be a good player on a team that can win a championship."
He is that, a good player; whether Miami is championship-ready is more of a debate. Bosh will likely finish the season averaging 18 points and eight rebounds a game, numbers that any team would gladly take at the 4-spot. But those are numbers viewed skeptically by the basketball world because of the manner in which they're compiled. Meaning, Bosh isn't getting those points or rebounds in heavy traffic.
The plain truth is Bosh will never be that type of player, no matter how often LeBron says the obvious: "Our biggest thing is getting paint points, because it opens up our perimeter, opens it up for everybody. But we don't have any post-up bigs. Chris is our only option."
The Heat's best option in the post isn't on the roster, not yet anyway. He'll have to arrive this summer or next. He isn't Udonis Haslem, still on the mend, who's a clean-up guy, not someone who hears his number called on a play. And let's not get started on everyone else who passes for a center on the Heat. Until further notice, it's all about Bosh ... except Bosh is merely masquerading as an inside force. Not that he's fake, to borrow a Durant-ism. He's just filling the role out of necessity. There's a difference.
There is a bigger issue: After being barely noticed for years in Toronto, where the Raptors were never a contender, Bosh is feeling a burden for the first time. How he holds up in the stretch run and especially against Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett and Joakim Noah -- should he meet any or all in the postseason -- will reveal much. Right now, nobody knows how Bosh will respond; even he doesn't know.
"I'm just trying to get better and do what I can to help this team," he said. "That's where I'm at now."
In a perfect Miami Heat world, someone like Kendrick Perkins would've found his way to Miami at the trade deadline. Instead, on Wednesday night and for the rest of this season, at least, it will be Chris Bosh, still trying to be himself and someone else.

No wonder Al Gore and Tom Daschle are so anxious to bring down Fox News, along with other independent news sources. The latest Nielsen ratings show Fox as the number one prime-time cable network. Fox's prime-time viewership is up 17% over a year ago, while the Democrats' network, CNN, is down 31% and MSNBC is down 43%. Fox now has four of the five top-rated cable news shows, with O'Reilly and Hannity & Colmes ranking first and second.

Natalie tonopah, Arizona 11/14/2012 9:48:06 AM I have 3 Pitbulls. The mother that is 2 years old and and the pups from her litter that are 11 montha old I have tryed mostly everything harness, they have chewed through a metal kennal. I have tryed stakes choke chains, and I excerise them everyday, mostly everything. But they keep on escaping and not coming home till dark. Im at my last end idk what to do to keep them home anymore, and they can't be running.the streets. Please . Do u have any advice I have four kids and they are our protestors and my family loves them very much they have been living inside cuz they will escape out of the yard. We can only afford so much please do u have any advice.. would help
Shelley Laramie, Wyoming 10/18/2012 12:18:40 AM Cesar makes this seem so much easier than it really is! All my dogs get really excited and hyper at meal time, but one of them, in particular, discourages me from doing anything about any of them. (btw. they are 3 cavaliers and one cocker spaniel). While they all get excited, only one of them remains food-obsessed almost all day. He begins drooling instantly the moment he **thinks** I am going to feed him. If I ask him to, he will sit still when I put the food down, but not before an enormous slimy puddle appears and all the while he's vibrating and fixated on the food. I can't stand the drool and sometimes he starts is up when I don't even know it so that it gets all over and i've sliped in it a number of times. I've resorted to leaving him outside while i prepare food. He won't potty or do anything else but whine and wait for food the moment that he gets it in his mind that its meal time (which could be hours before the actual time). I love the Dog Whisperer shows and I watch them all the time, but knowing where exactly to start is the hard part.

Anne Phillips Princeton University Press (17 June 2013)
No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, representing themselves as property owners with the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use the language of property, but are similarly insistent on the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape, surrogacy, and markets in human organs, Our Bodies, Whose Property? challenges notions of freedom based on ownership of our bodies and argues against the normalization of markets in bodily services and parts. Anne Phillips explores the risks associated with metaphors of property and the reasons why the commodification of the body remains problematic.
What, she asks, is wrong with thinking of oneself as the owner of one's body? What is wrong with making our bodies available for rent or sale? What, if anything, is the difference between markets in sex, reproduction, or human body parts, and the other markets we commonly applaud? Phillips contends that body markets occupy the outer edges of a continuum that is, in some way, a feature of all labor markets. But she also emphasizes that we all have bodies, and considers the implications of this otherwise banal fact for equality. Bodies remind us of shared vulnerability, alerting us to the common experience of living as embodied beings in the same world.
Examining the complex issue of body exceptionalism, Our Bodies, Whose Property? demonstrates that treating the body as property makes human equality harder to comprehend.

"The topic of this clear and accessible book is timely and important, and the implications of talking about and treating the body as property affect a broad range of policy concerns. A major contribution to debates in both philosophy and public policy, this book should be read by philosophers, political theorists, feminist theorists, bioethicists, and general readers for its theoretical and practical guidance to some of today's thorniest issues."

COLUMBIA — With potential federal budget cuts looming, many local broadcasting stations fear a significant impact on their bottom line. But the threat of decreased funding influenced some listeners of KBIA/91.3 FM to give more than ever before.
The local National Public Radio member station began its weeklong spring fund drive March 4. The drive ended eight hours early on March 11 because donations surpassed the station's fundraising goal of $145,000. It was the station's most successful spring drive yet, KBIA General Manager Mike Dunn said.
"There were people who did call and say, 'We're giving more money. We're afraid that you might lose some or all of your federal money,'" Dunn said. "People are just supportive of things they value."
Although the drive ended Friday, the station received about $2,000 in the mail Monday and will continue to receive checks for at least a week, Dunn said. He estimated the final count will total from $155,000 to $160,000.
The average donation during the drive was $110, and more than 1,000 listeners donated. The largest gift from a single donor was $2,400, Dunn said.
These donations come at an uneasy time in the public broadcasting world. Federal funding of the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, the umbrella corporation that funds NPR and the Public Broadcasting Service, has been threatened for years, but Dunn said this time, the situation is dire.
On Feb. 19, the House of Representatives passed a bill, H.R. 1, that would cut federal CPB funds. It has yet to be put to vote in the Senate.
"It's never gotten to the point before that it has this time, where it's actually passed House," Dunn said. "It's much more serious this time than ever before."
The corporation was created through the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, with the support of President Lyndon Johnson, and had its first clash with government in 1971 when the Nixon administration claimed an anti-administration bias in its programming.
KBIA stands to lose $190,000 of its $1.2 million annual budget if the bill is passed. Two years ago, the station lost a stipend it received from the state, Dunn said. He said he is making plans in anticipation of a significant cut, but he does not feel comfortable releasing the plans before all of KBIA's staff members know the details. He knows the plans will not include cutting back on content.
"If we cut back on what people value the most, they're going to give less," he said. "We're going to do everything that we can to keep it there."
Washington, D.C., seems far away, but Brian Davis, underwriting coordinator for KOPN/89.5 FM, Mid-Missouri's community radio station, said the recent resignation of NPR CEO Vivian Schiller has more to do with local stations than the average listener might think.
Schiller resigned in the wake of two incidents involving NPR employees. The first was last fall, when NPR news analyst Juan Williams was fired after making comments on Fox News Channel about being afraid of seeing passengers in "Muslim garb" when riding a plane. The second occurred March 8, when a video surfaced of NPR fundraiser Ron Schiller (no relation to the CEO) criticizing conservatives and questioning NPR's need for federal funding.
NPR's board decided Vivian Schiller could no longer effectively lead the organization in the light of these events, and she subsequently stepped down.
"This situation (with Vivian Schiller) has just become first and foremost in the minds of the people who already want to take away our funding," Davis said. "The fallout could be potentially absolutely disastrous."
This string of incidents gives further reason for conservative politicians to claim NPR and other stations funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting hold a liberal bias and should not receive federal funding, Davis said.
KOPN would lose the $66,000 it receives from the corporation annually if funding is cut. The station's yearly budget is $200,000, with listener donations and underwriting accounting for the remainder after federal funding. The station recently lost some federal funding when Columbia's population reached 100,000, Davis said.
"Unfortunately, the reality is there is no way to know exactly right now what is going to happen," Davis said. "The truth of the matter is (Schiller's resignation is) certainly not going to help our cause."
Davis said KOPN would fundraise to make up the $66,000 it will lose if the bill is passed. The station is developing a plan in case the cuts become a reality.
"We're trying to turn it into a positive," he said. "This is going to give us this opportunity to prove to people that we can do this."
