Benjamin Hooks found voice as preacher
52 years of storytelling from the church's pulpit
It will not be his final sermon, Benjamin Hooks wants people to know, but when he gives the message Sunday morning at Greater Middle Baptist Church on Knight Arnold, it will be his last as the pastor.
For 52 years, Hooks has given the folks there what they argue are the best sermons delivered anywhere, by anyone. He has announced his retirement as preacher, effective after Sunday's services, and will stay on as minister-in-residence.
Now nearly 84, Hooks' life has been defined by so many other things outside of the church -- his prominent role in the civil rights movement, being named the first African-American judge of record in the South since Reconstruction, becoming the first African-American appointed to the board of the Federal Communications Commission, serving as the executive director of the NAACP from 1977 to 1992.
But it was in the pulpit where Hooks found his voice, where he drew his strength, where he formulated the moral arguments that would serve as the foundations for his formidable legal strategies.
The sermons are shorter now but they still contain a strong urge for storytelling, rooted in the Bible but alive with contemporary relevance.
"He is a person who is passionate about the Gospel, energized about the Word of God and wants everyone to feel the energy and presence of God in their lives," said U.S. Dist. Judge Bernice Donald, a member at Greater Middle Baptist.
As Hooks tells the story, growing up he was exposed to many black professionals while helping out with his father's well-known photography business on Beale Street. Though drawn to religion, there was one significant reason he followed a path that led to the infantry in World War II and law school after -- a terrible fear of speaking to crowds.
"I could preach to the chickens and cats and dogs and line them up and make them hear my sermons," Hooks said. "When it comes to other folks, I just could not do it."
To this day, he winces when recalling the address he gave as salutatorian of his eighth-grade class at Porter Elementary.
"I shall never forget that speech -- I cried all the way through it," he said. "I don't know that anybody understood it. I wet that speech with my tears."
It was sometime around 1950, Hooks believes, when Rev. Alexander Gladney asked him to deliver a lay sermon at St. John's Baptist Church in Douglass. Hooks says he remembers writing it out, anticipating the fear that would hit him in front of the congregation.
"On that particular Sunday morning, I got up, delivered that speech and I have never been timid, not one day since then," Hooks said.
It was, he said, "a deliverance," and by 1955 it would lead him to, as he puts it, "announce my call to the ministry."
Archie Maye Pratcher has been a member of Greater Middle Baptist for 49 years. The reputation Hooks had built as a lawyer and businessman belied the preacher within, she says.
"They were expecting him to be all high in philosophy," Pratcher said, "but I think he even surprised himself."
Thus began a rich preaching career that included 30 years splitting Sundays between Greater Middle Baptist in Memphis and Greater New Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit. He gave addresses at the Republican and Democratic national conventions, delivered commencement addresses, earned dozens of honorary doctorates from prestigious universities.
Some of his most crucial words may have come in 1968, after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. -- "Martin King" as Hooks still calls his friend -- was assassinated in Downtown Memphis. Hooks went on radio and drove into neighborhoods to appeal for calm and order despite the rage over King's death.
Memphis, unlike other cities, was not roiled by destructive riots and civil disorder.
Hooks has seen much progress since, and often exhorts those dissatisfied with the state of things to consider all the positive things that have happened in his nearly 84 years, for instance. But he sometimes frets himself, especially when it comes to the intellect and striving of young people.
"The mutterin' and the mumblin' I hear today was unthinkable in my day," Hooks said. "And I wonder, have we regressed? Have we gone backward? Have these laptops and computers and televisions stopped our ability to think?"
Hooks says his retirement sermon will be short and, as always, contain a compelling story, maybe refer to a few favorite hymns. And then he will sit down and officially pass down the obligations of pastoring to others.
But he'll be around, in all his various roles, for the church and for Memphis.
"I don't know how it's going to be," says Pratcher. "It's not his funeral but it's his departure from what he's always been expected to do with the congregation.
"So I don't know whether we gonna cry or shout."

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY! Loretta on DVD,
By A Customer
I remember being 10 years old and seeing this movie in the theater. Every time it came on TV I watched it. When we got a VCR, I retaped it every time it played just to have a fresh copy. I owned the VHS and now FINALLY after all these years, I have it on DVD.
This is one of the best movies ever made. The acting was so real it was amazing. I never thought of the characters as Sissy and Tommy Lee, I always thought of them as Loretta and Doo. It's one of the string of "Biography" movies to come out, like La Bamba, Sweet Dreams and The Buddy Holly Story.
The music. 'nuff said! The performances are just incredible. The old Grand Ole Opry gang was still alive and they were in the picture such as Ernest Tubb, Minnie Pearl, & Roy Acuff. Of course, Loretta... I mean Sissy's performances were stellar. In the DVD bonus interview with Loretta, she said that she taught Sissy how to play and sing her songs. And boy did she do a good job! All the way from the nervous but cute Loretta in the honky tonk singing "There He Goes" to the lovely queen of country music singing "Coal Miner's Daughter", the sound of her voice and the music perfectly imitates Loretta.
Someone said that they wanted a 5.1 soundtrack to the movie. Well... the movie was recorded in stereo. The country songs in the movie for the most part were in glorious 1950s one-speaker mono to give that authentic 1950s country sound. It plays mostly through the center channel and that's good enough.
The bonus materials also show Loretta's Coal Miner's Daughter museum. It houses alot of pieces from her past as well as alot of stuff from the movie. It will be interesting to go actually see this and be able to see it in person.
If you love CMD, get this DVD! If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for? DO IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Movie Biography,
Lonnie E. Holder "The Review's the Thing" (Columbus, Indiana, United States) - See all my reviews
Some movies are so excellent that words are insufficient to describe that excellence. Such is the case with "Coal Miner's Daughter," a movie that relies on an effectively told story of Loretta Lynn to carry the film rather than flashy special effects and action. The script is brought to life by the incredible talents of the actors, most especially Sissy Spacek, in one of the best performances of her career.
"Coal Miner's Daughter" spans the era from the late 1940s to the early 70s, focusing principally on Loretta Lynn from age 13 to her rise to fame as the best-selling female country artist. It's easy to look at Loretta's early life as an artifact of some ancient time, but in fact Loretta's life and the life of her family was quite typical in some rural areas in The United States in that era, and many of us are the children or grandchildren of similar families. This movie is thus not only the story Loretta Lynn, but is also the story of many Americans.
Sissy Spacek sang all the songs for the movie, which is available on CD. Sissy received an Oscar for Best Actress for her role as Loretta Lynn, the only Oscar awarded to the film of the seven nominations. Sissy sounds so incredibly like Loretta Lynn that sometimes I find it difficult to know whether a Loretta Lynn CD or the movie soundtrack is playing. Sissy's phenomenal acting talent made her Loretta Lynn.
Sissy was well supported in her role by other excellent talents. The multi-talented Tommy Lee Jones played the part of Loretta's philandering husband Mooney Dolittle. Tommy Lee played the role very well within the limits of the screenplay. My only complaint is that I felt that Mooney was portrayed in a much milder way than his actual personality. I believe most viewers will perceive traits in Tommy Lee's character that are indications of the real Mooney.
Beverly D'Angelo is outstanding as brash and outgoing Patsy Cline, for a time Loretta's idol, best friend and mentor in the country music world. Patsy had a lot of influence on how na�ve Loretta perceived the world and how she reacted to things. Beverly sang Patsy's songs and matched Sissy in the quality of her performance.
Also appearing in this movie were Levon Helm and Phyllis Boyens as Loretta's parents. I read that Loretta was shocked by the appearance of Levon Helm in his makeup and clothes because he looked so much like her father. This couple in role could have easily been the models for the picture "American Gothic." Another appearance worthy of note was that of Earnest Tubb as himself.
Loretta Lynn's story is such a grand story because she exemplifies the dream we all have of making our way in the world. Loretta's father was, as the title suggests, a coal miner. Coal mining is a difficult, dirty job with a lot of risk. During the time of Loretta's youth coal miners would typically get their paycheck and then go to the company store to buy food and pay their debt. In many ways working for a mine in those times was nearly like slavery or indentured servitude. Mooney and Loretta escape by first traveling to the west coast, and ultimately by capitalizing on Loretta's abilities as a singer and songwriter. Ultimately Loretta became a multi-millionaire with a wide range of business interests. This movie presents a rags-to-riches story to inspire us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Country Bio Picture Ever Made .Loretta is the QUEEN !,
By A Customer
I never grow tired of this movie. I have seen it over 100 times since it was released in 1980.I own it on laser disc,VHS and hope to find it on DVD. Sissy Spacek did a outstanding job playing the "Queen Of Country Music," Loretta Lynn. She more than earned the Oscar & golden globe awards show won. The soundtrack album is also a winner ! Everyone cast in this film was perfect. This film received 7 Academy Award nominations includeing BEST PICTURE. Loretta Lynn is still going strong 20 years after this movie was released. I seen her in concert recently and she still rules as the "QUEEN." I look foward to a sequal to this all time favorite film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loretta Lynn's Unforgetable Story,
Kindle Customer "mystery maiden" (California) - See all my reviews
This dvd reminds you why we all love Loretta Lynn. It is the extraordinary story of an individual who went from rags to riches and never forgot her roots. The screen version of Loretta Lynn comes to life with Sissy's portrayal. She makes you forget it is a movie and instead you feel like you are just spending some time with Loretta Lynn. This movie is a part of the tapestry of Country Music, and it is a vibrant thread. One of Tonmmy Lee Jones' first big movies, and he shines in it. Extras include an excellent interview with the first lady of country music Loretta Lynn. This is a must have for any true country fan.
4.0 out of 5 stars Sissy Shines as The Coal Miner's Daughter,
Tucker (Taunton, MA United States) - See all my reviews
At long last, "Coal Miner's Daughter" has come to DVD. This biopic tells the tale of country music legend Loretta Lynn, spanning her early years of poverty in Butcher Holler, Kentucky through her steady rise to fame and fortune to become the queen of country music. The film details the highs and lows of that journey with both heartfelt humor and pathos and contains incredible performances from the entire cast.
One need not be a fan of Loretta or country music to enjoy this film. Director Michael Apted has crafted a movie of depth, detail and emotion, especially in the early scenes which depict Loretta's early years growing up dirt poor in the Appalachian mountains. Apted's attention to detail allows the viewer to really understand what it was like to grow up in such an impoverished environment. Apted obviously respected the material he was working with and does it justice.
Sissy Spacek, as Loretta, is simply superb. Earning a well deserved Oscar for this performance, she is never less than captivating. Starting out as a shy, naive 14 year old, then slowly building confidence and self-awareness, to emotionally crumbling under pressures to great for her to handle, Sissy is completely believable in all stages of Lynn's life. On top of it all, Sissy does her own singing in the film! This is one talented woman. Tommy Lee Jones is equally compeling as Mooney, Lynn's husband, who's confidence in his young bride started it all. Jones does a great job displaying Mooney's determination, frustrations and insecurities. Also of note is Beverly D'Angelo's performance as Patsy Cline. Although she has very little screen time in the film, her impact in the overall film is undeniable. She too gives a pitch perfect performance and does all her own singing as well. Alas both Jones and D'Angelo were overlooked when the Oscar nominations were announced that year. (They were both robbed!!) These three powerhouse performances are backed up with an equally strong supporting cast, including Levon Helms and Phyllis Boyens (both of whom where not actors by trade) as Loretta's parents.
The DVD provides extras such as a commentary track with Apted and Spacek (not the best commentary track I've heard but worth a listen if you like that sort of thing), interviews with both Tommy Lee Jones and Loretta Lynn (worth a peek) and a totally useless clip of President Bush (Sr. that is) saluting the AFI. He mentions the title of Coal Miner's Daughter once in his speech. That warranted it's inclusion in the DVD!!?? Alas there are no deleted scenes or "making of" documentaries which I enjoy watching but I don't want to sound like "a big ol' bear a growlin" so I won't complain.
5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best dat-gum movies ever!,
MooonChild (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
Finally, it's on DVD!
Okay, I'm one of those folks who knows this movie up and down, back and forth, word-for-Kentucky-word, and proud of it!
I remember seeing this film on the big screen in 1980, when I barely knew who Loretta Lynn was, and I loved it dearly from that moment on.
If this film hadn't been up against my other all-time favorite movie for the Best Picture Oscar in 1980, it should have (and would have) won, hands-down.
I waited for years for this film to finally be released on DVD, and I wasn't disappointed. My VHS edition, while as wonderful as a pan&scan movie can be, was worn out from repeated viewing. The quality of the picture and sound on the DVD is superb, as are the special features, including an interview with Director Michael Apted and Miss Loretta Lynn herself, as well as a rememberance by Tommy Lee Jones. Once you've watched the whole film all the way through, you'll want to watch it again with the commentary by Sissy Spacek and Director Michael Apted.
Even if you have never heard the name "Loretta Lynn", you'll adore and treasure your "Coal Miner's Daughter" DVD.

. . . and, frankly, usually never even approached, in terms of quality. *Coal Miner's Daughter* set the bar very high indeed for the biopic. Most likely this was because the subject of the film, Loretta Lynn, was deeply involved in the project: it was based on her biography; Sissy Spacek actually lived with Lynn for almost a year prior to shooting; and Lynn basically kept a close watch on the proceedings. Loretta Lynn is a tough broad. If director Michael Apted had had any thoughts of making this a "sensational" piece, Lynn disabused him of the notion rather early, I would imagine. Hence, there's absolutely no salaciousness, no untoward intrusions of privacy, no "creative license". This is the story that Loretta Lynn wanted told, and by God, it got told. Needless to say, this way of making motion pictures, so uncharacteristic of the usual Hollywood method of cheapening everything for the sake of "entertainment", makes for a compulsively watchable experience. Story-wise, it's not terribly unique: it's the old rags-to-riches formula. But what rags, and what riches! The key to the movie's success is in the details: from the newspaper, serving as wallpaper, glued onto the walls of Loretta's home in the Kentucky "holler" . . . to the old pre-War washing-machine on the porch that Spacek kicks into gear while learning to play the guitar . . . to the baloney sandwiches consumed during Spacek's and Jones' journey from one radio station to the next in Tennessee . . . to the first nervous performance at the Grand Old Opry . . . to the luxuriantly appointed tour bus replete with "LORETTA LYNN" in elegant cursive writing on the side. Most impressively, Spacek does her own singing in the movie, echoing Lynn's style while avoiding overt mimicry. And Beverly D'Angelo is a revelation as Patsy Cline. A noted singer in her own right, D'Angelo arguably out-sings the real Cline in the numbers featured here. While this MIGHT be both Spacek's and D'Angelo's finest hours, it is almost CERTAINLY Tommy Lee Jones' finest hour. He plays Lynn's husband "Doo" with not only utter conviction, but with complete familiarity, as well. All in all, *Coal Miner's Daughter* remains the gold standard in the biopic genre.

The picture is beautiful, the interview with Loretta and Tommy Lee Jones is great, the commentary with Michael Apted and Sissy Spacek is funny and informative, the thing with Bush Sr. is STUPID, it's a small mention of CMD at an AFI gathering. I gave the DVD 4 stars because I thought there's a couple more things they could have done with this DVD. They could have included some deleted scenes. They could have included all the songs left off of the original soundtrack and maybe some words from Beverly D'Angelo would have been cool too. I buy DVDs because of the extras and that's what I expect from them.
However, this is one of the best movies of all time in my opinion and it should have gotten a little more hoopla for it's release on DVD and Tommy Lee Jones should have gotten every award that Sissy Spacek did.
Now, let's have a brand new soundtrack reissued with all the songs that Sissy recorded while filming this movie.
Thanks for a great DVD!

F. Gentile (Lake Worth, Florida, United States) - See all my reviews
I LOVE this movie. This heartwarming, true rag-to-riches film about the life of Loretta Lynn took even the most sophisticated audiences by surprise when it was first released. Sissy Spacek is wonderfully accurate in her portrayal of the legendary but still humble and approachable country music star. This film made people who HATED country music take a second look. The story of the backwards, backwoods, painfully shy little girl whose simple, self-penned, biographical songs made her a huge star with almost unequaled # 1 country hits, is just as touching and great as when it was released. Tommy Lee Jones is perfect as "Doo", the man who stood by his woman, and Beverly D'Angelo gives a memorable performance as the legendary Patsy Cline. The fact that Spacek and D'Angelo so effectively do all their own singing, considering the shoes they had to fill, just makes this film all that much of a wonder. Levon Helm, of The Band, is also very good as "Lorettys" daddy. Just an all- around terrific film, with many touching moments from a by-gone time, when a little girl with a record could tap on the radio station window one day, and be a star a week later. Sissy Spacek's Oscar winning performance makes for a total class production about a total class lady. Loretta Lynn became one of this city boys favorites since seeing this film, and she remains so... a true, greatly admired, humanitarian *star*, who could teach most other celebrities a thing or two about "stardom". A perfect film for the whole family, the ultimate "feel good" movie. Thanks Loretty !! (And Sissy, too.) Just GREAT!!

I went out and bought this movie because I enjoyed it so much. And more recently, I found and read Loretta's biography because I loved the movie so much. The movie is surprisingly true to the book.
I love Loretta's story because she was a real underdog. Raised in abject poverty in the Kentucky Mountains, she rises above it all, bit by bit, with her husband's love and support.
Doolittle (husband) bought her a guitar one year because he told her, "I like the way you sing." I've heard that the best marriages are ones where the spouse is our number one cheerleader and that's what Doolittle Lynn did for Loretta. He cheered her on. He supported her, loved her and believed in her.
The movie also touches on his shortcomings, but in the book, Loretta makes it clear that the good he did outweighed the bad and their marriage and relationship can not possibly be judged by anyone outside of the relationship.
Loretta is a strong woman - even as a 14 year old she speaks her mind and isn't afraid of much.
What do I love about this movie? It shows the infinite possibilities of life and that any obstacle can be overcome through persistence.
The acting by Spacek, Jones, D'Angelo, Helm and the entire cast is superior. The characters are very real - not Hollywood mock-ups, but real people.
It is probably one of my top three favorite movies of all time. It is a treasure.

Boyfriend of 2 years doesn't want to see me everyday, we're 20... normal?
I know he's a pretty independent guy, but I always thought if your really in love, you'll want to see your partner as often as possible. My boyfriend... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Hi there!
I think it is normal. I'll give you a little bit of a story on myself. I'm a guy. My girlfriend and I have been together for a little over 2 years. After one year of being together, we moved in together into a one bedroom apartment.
All was well, but as it seemed it got overwhelming. We did have a fight that lead to us breaking up for a little over 3 months. In the time apart, my heart broke into tiny pieces, and I am slowly picking them back up, and piecing them back together.
We are back together now, and (after having seen her every day, as we lived together), we now only see each other 3-5 times per week. I guess its something I am going to have to get used to, and as given my current situation I can't be picky. It was a very big ask of my partner to give me another chance to prove to her that she is the only thing worth living for in my life, and I would do absolutely anything I possibly could to make her happy.
We don't see each other every day, but we do text and sometimes talk on the phone. I am just really happy that we are back together.
I think relationships work if they are meant to, and if they aren't meant to you just know it. Its a feeling you get, and vibes you can usually read from your partner, weather it be in actions or words, or non actions or words.
Its still taking my partner time to work on mending the bridges with me; Its still a little fragile with the word love, but I am certain that in the end things will work out just how they are meant to.
So my advice for you would be to live life, you're only young. There is plenty of time to settle down and find that special someone, and even if this one is that special someone, he might not know just what he has actually got in his hands just yet.
I didn't realise until the day my girl walked out on me. I spent days on end crying and kicking myself, but in the end, it was all worth it. I love her now more than I have ever loved anyone ever before.
I hope that I can help you, and please feel free to email me if you want to have a chat.

What Guys Said 5
i thinkkk that its kinda werid that he wouldn't wanna see you more often. like when I started reading the story I was like okkk like maybe he's working a lot or sum but now that I finished the whole tihng I think that its rly werid that you guys only see each other like 2 times a week especially if ur at the same university.. cus then it would b liek sooo easy to see you more.. I think the guy is cheating on u. does he call you everyday at least.. why would you guys only spend a few hours together. I think he's cheating or he's just very very independent. demand more time!
i can see where your boyfriend is coming from. my girlfriend wants to see me everyday and i feel SO suffocated. She seems to think because im not actually doing anything productive it means i want to see her. Some days i want to just sit and watch tv or play video games. When she goes to work she wants me to email her the whole time and she calls me on her breaks. When i go out with friends she wants to drive me and my friends there and gets really pissy when i dont want her to. She thinks that when she can't see me that im so upset about it and that i share her need for constant contact but in reality i really like it when she goes out or is at work because i actually have two seconds to think for myself. Weve been together for two years and nothings ever changed and im getting really tired of it.
What Girls Said 2
i think its a little strange as I spend sooo much time with my bf,ifwe have days apart we miss each other we might be in the extreame and I'm surprised we don't fight more spending so much time together! but I think he should make more of an effort to dedicate specific time to just you and him and you should'nt have to initiate it all the time.
Hey girl,
I'm in the Same situation as you are, the only difference is, my guy has school odd timings than me, and we go to different campus, plus his work and other stuff, but he does his best still. For your guy, he might have other things going on possibly, stuff at home, or work perhaps? or maybe when he's not being able to se you even being at same Uni, perhaps his studies are keeping more busy. You 2 should have a talk, if you won't tell him how you feel thru this behaviour of him, he won't come to realize. Remeber, I've expreicned it too, guys feel different than we do, (its not a bad thing) that's how they are, you need to make him realize that he has Someone in his life too, more than the work around him that want him. Hope this help.
Hey. the same exact thing was happening to me. He was extremely loyal.. we'd text everyday. But he'd never go on the phone with me or see me as much as I wanted because of work and school. It was ridiculous. He's very much a loner and extremely independent and we ended up breaking up after 3 years. It just wasn't enough to see him twice a week.. it was absurd. I don't think it's fair to you and I think you can do much better.
Have an opinion?

Academy of Art University GOOD OR BAD??????
(This question is open to everyone)
I recently got some information from a animation art professor about AAU. His opinion was that the school is nothing more than a "for profit school" looking to reap the dollars of unknowing artist students. He also added the students who go there are viewed as bottom of the barrel and subject to a career off unemployment and etc. He also stated that AAU is very expensive and that UCLA, USC, CALARTS, RINGLING, PARSON and NYC would be cheaper. I think those options are actually more than AAU! Well I dont agree his opinions mainly because I think it is all about what you as a person make of it. So how do all of you who have dealt with the AAU feel about it as a whole. Is this opinion true or it is just hot air. For those of you who are animation students or students of other programs at AAU are you truly happy with the school do you feel as if your getting a lesser education. I'd like to hear some real opinions from all of you who visit conceptart because your not full of crap!!! So please share with me your honest opinions about the Academy of Art University GOOD OR BAD???!!!!

First, you shouldn't take one person's opinion as the truth. Many people feel very differently about expensive art schools, and with good reason. It all depends on which side of the barrel of the gun they're on. During my college search, a professor at a state school told me that they had a better program than Ringling because they had a more "artistic approach." After mentally chewing this over, I reasoned, "Well, if that's true, then why does Ringling have WAY more graduates in the field?" You have to use your common sense. If there are a good number graduates in the industry from AAU in recent times, chances are that they're doing something right.
I haven't heard a whole lot about AAU because I've never really considered it as an option, but I've never really heard anything negative. Their program was rated number 2 in the nation by 3D World Magazine, and there are animators who either currently or recently have worked for Pixar who teach there. Your best bet is to visit and keep trying to get into contact with current students.
I give it a GOOD rating (I still love Ringling more...but I'm a bit biased ).

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Jacquie Bowser, brandrepublic.com, Tuesday, 24 July 2007 11:10AM
The regulator is seeking views on three options for tighter guidelines for participation television, which include: licensing the shows as advertising and handing regulation to the ASA; licensing the shows as editorial but subjecting them to tighter rules under the Broadcasting Code; or licensing them as editorial, but with a requirement to carry labelling to ensure that viewers understand the commercial nature of the content.
Quiz, psychic and adult chat shows are currently regulated by Ofcom as editorial content under its broadcasting code, but Ofcom said future regulation of these services must ensure that advertising and editorial are kept separate.
Participation television is programming that invites viewers to interact, most often by using premium rate telephone services or by using red button technology.
Last week, Ofcom published its five-month investigation into the premium rate phone line scandal, which found some broadcasters were "in denial" about their responsibilities and revealed their "systemic failure" to comply with rules.
The premium rate phone scandal has tainted a number of shows across UK networks, including BBC's 'Blue Peter' and 'Saturday Kitchen', and Channel 4's 'Richard & Judy'.
Premium-rate regulator ICSTIS subsequently handed out a record £150,000 fine to Eckoh UK, the premium-rate service provider for Richard & Judy's 'You Say We Pay' competition and Ofcom fined the BBC £50,000 for the incident in which a member of the 'Blue Peter' production team posed as a viewer when a competition entrant could not be found.
The BBC subsequently admitted last week to six other instances when production staff passed themselves off as viewers, or where fictitious winners were invented, including the 'Comic Relief' programme screened in March.
Richard Ayre's inquiry concluded that some broadcasters were skirting their responsibilities to ensure programmes delivered on the promises they made to viewers in phone-in competitions and that broadcasters should be held directly accountable for their use of premium rate services.
Today Ofcom set out proposals to implement the inquiry's recommendations. These include new licence obligations for television and radio broadcasters, which will hold broadcasters directly responsible for consumer protection and premium rate compliance, as well as a requirement for television and radio broadcasters to ensure independent third party verification of PRS activity.
Ofcom will take responses regarding its proposals until October 17.

Exterior of the Indiana State FOP Call Center in White River Plaza Friday, Oct. 8, 2010.
- Filed Under
MUNCIE -- An accused heroin dealer, a convicted forger and a drunken driver are among those raising money for the Indiana State Fraternal Order of Police.
And all are in leadership positions at the State FOP Call Center in the White River Plaza.
What's more, the FOP has signed a five-year contract with John Keller, a professional fundraiser, to act as a consultant for its telemarketing center.
Keller, doing business as JAK Productions Inc. in Atlanta, Ga., paid $300,000 in June to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that his company "abandoned" millions of calls when consumers answered their telephones. The FTC also alleged that the defendant made thousands of illegal calls to consumers who had told the company that they did not wish to be called.
State FOP Director Tim Downs said Keller came highly recommended from other state FOPs. "So far, he's done a good job," Downs said. "We own the center, and they're our employees. About 70 people work there directly for us. John Keller is our consultant. We have no issues with him."
One recommendation they didn't get was from the Indiana State Troopers Association (ITA), which has been forced into bankruptcy after allegedly being defrauded by JAK and another telemarketer, Campaign Resources.
The ITA has filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy and will cease to exist as a result of its dealings with JAK, who was a contractual fundraising consultant to the troopers.
"We went into bankruptcy because the wheels of litigation turn slowly. We were filing charges for the same things the FCC whacked him for. They have his money and we don't," said state police Lt. Patricia Warczynski, president of ITA.
ITA tried to warn the state FOP not to sign a contract with Keller, Warczynski said, but the warning came too late -- after a contract already had been signed.
"I'm not surprised at what is happening in Muncie," Warczynski said. "John Keller was hiring bad people, so we ran our own drug tests and criminal backgrounds to prevent those circumstances from happening to us. I feel bad for the FOP."
Criminal records
Downs insists the FOP "does a pretty good job" of checking the criminal backgrounds of its telemarketers but said it was possible that "some slip through the cracks. When that comes to our attention, we will deal with it. We're not going to have anybody like drug dealers working for us."
Their employees' records, however, tell a different story.
When asked to turn around and place his hands on his head, Speed began to shake violently and started stuttering.
Inside Speed's pocket, the officer found a reddish brown rock-like substance that turned out to be heroin. More heroin was found in Speed's vehicle.
"That's not mine," Speed reportedly said. Then he said, "That's for personal use. I have a f --- problem, man." Later, in jail, Speed reportedly admitted using heroin several hours earlier. When an officer checked Speed's arms for needle marks, he reportedly stated, "I snort my heroin."
Speed, who was charged with possession and dealing a controlled substance, is scheduled to plead guilty on Nov. 4. In May, Speed was sentenced to 60 days of work-release on charges of marijuana possession. In August, he entered into a diversion program in connection with a shoplifting charge.
"Yeah, I was flying, probably around 50 (mph)," Reid, 33, told the trooper after he was stopped.
Lewis, who manages the call center, also reportedly told the trooper that he drank "a beer" more than an hour earlier. Then Lewis said he had consumed two beers. Then he said he had downed five beers. Then he said, "It was the two shots that put me over."
On the way to jail, Lewis told the trooper he should have just taken him home.
Lewis declined comment on his arrest.
'We can't make it on our own'
The non-profit state FOP's mission is to promote law and order, improve the proficiency of its members and encourage fraternal, educational, charitable and social activities among law enforcement officers.
One of the ways it raises funds to accomplish its mission is telephone solicitations. In 2008, Civic Development Group, the FOP's telemarketer at that time, raised $2.7 million for the FOP. The telemarketer retained $2.4 million of that and gave $463,356 to the FOP. The Star Press was unable to obtain the FOP's 2009 financial statements.
Downs said after its last telemarketer went bankrupt, the FOP tried doing telemarketing on its own but failed.
"We need expertise from Keller or somebody," Downs said. "We can't make it on our own."

Making Kiva loans is one of my favorite ways to increase credit card spend. Kiva loans help me reach minimum spend requirements for new credit cards; they help me reach credit card big spend bonus thresholds; and, most importantly, they help people around the world who need micro-loans, usually for starting or maintaining a small business.
With Kiva, you can make loans with your credit card, and the transactions count as regular purchases for the purpose of earning credit card rewards. You do not have to worry about being charged cash advance fees.
Overall, Kiva has a very low loan default rate of .95% (just under 1%). In my loan portfolio, the default rate has been an amazingly low .21%. That performance is probably due to the fact that I usually filter to "safe" loans as I'll explain below in the tips and tricks section of this post.
The downsides
It's not all roses and ponies in Kiva land:
- Loans take anywhere from 4 months to a few years to pay off in full, so don't loan more than you can afford. That money will be inaccessible for quite a while.
- You will not earn interest on your loans. Borrowers do pay interest, but those payments go to the micro-lenders who are in place around the world and need that money for the good work that they do.
- Payments are made through PayPal. If you log into PayPal and you have a balance in your account, PayPal will try to use that balance before charging your credit card. You can avoid that by not logging in, or by using a PayPal account with no balance.
- Once loans are repaid, withdrawals are made manually so they can take a week or two to process.
Tips and Tricks
Make safe loans
Kiva lets you filter loans to those that are most likely to pay back in full. When browsing for loans, select "advanced options" to bring up the filter options. Here's an example of settings I would choose:
Make lots of loans at once
If you want to make many loans at once, you can turn to a web app called kivalens.org. It lets you filter loans in even more ways than shown above, sort them by earliest payoff date, and bulk load them into your Kiva "shopping cart". Press the "++" button to add lots of loans at once. You can specify how much to spend per loan and how much total you want to spend.
Pay with the best credit card
Depending on your goals, you may prefer to pay with a new credit card to help meet minimum spend requirements, or pay with a credit card in which you're trying to achieve a big spend bonus. Alternatively, consider using the US Bank FlexPerks or Cash+ cards which offer bonus points for charity spend. Even though Kiva loans aren't charitable donations, Kiva is coded as a charity and therefore earns extra points with these cards (With Cash+ you would have to select Charity as one of your 5% bonus categories).
Increase credit card spend from home or abroad
Many of the techniques people use to increase credit card spend involve trips to drug stores, grocery stores, and Walmart to buy or unload gift cards and reload cards. If you prefer to stay home, or you travel often abroad, those techniques probably aren't much use to you. Kiva loans can be a good alternative. Note that if you are abroad, it's a good idea to use a VPN, or remote control software to make your Kiva payments appear to come from the US. Otherwise, PayPal may stop the payments because they'll appear to be suspicious.

Georgetown's New Baguette Stop
Belgian bakery chain Le Pain Quotidien hits M Street
But Le Pain Quotidien has a Euro authenticity that many competitors, with their faux French-countryside decor, don't totally achieve. The bread company's roots go back to Brussels, the flagship location, where quirky chef Alain Coumont tested dough recipes until he got the perfect one. Now the company has cafes all over, from Dubai to Aix-en-Provence to London's ritzy Kensington neighborhood. Before the move into DC, production manager Casey Gleason—a Georgetown University grad—advertised positions on Alliance Française de Washington's Web site in hopes of finding a French-speaking staff.
AdvertisementSince the bakery's summertime construction, M Street pedestrians have been antsy for its opening. One Georgetown neighbor eagerly stopped Gleason to tell him she'd once lived across from the original Brussels shop. Inside, two floors are dedicated to the trademark communal seating; outside, there's a big backyard patio. A counter up front is for takeaway Gruyère tartines and brioches. In the basement, dough proofs inside wicker baskets, just as Coumont did it back in Belgium.
We hear there are more Le Pains in the pipeline—expect to see them popping up in Bethesda, Old Town Alexandria, and Dupont Circle.
Le Pain Quotidien, 2815 M St., NW; 202-315-5420; lepainquotidien.com.

Match drawnSo a slow and often lifeless pitch proves to be the winner at Trent Bridge. Apart from the novelty of Cook's wicket there was precious little to get excited about in the final two sessions today. Anderson and Broad had given England hope in the morning but the likes of Binny, Jadeja and Kumar ensured that a positive result was taken out of the hosts' reach.
Wicket! Ishant c Prior b Cook 13Cook continues, this time bowling seam, and he gets a wicket! Unbelievable! Ishant Sharma is caught behind down the leg side by Prior, Hot Spot confirming there was a faint edge. What scenes!
Over 115 - India 371/8 (Kumar 50, Ishant 10)Kumar tries to guide Root past midwicket but a good diving stop prevents the single. Kumar then cuts loose with a heave over midwicket for four before hitting another boundary through the off side for another boundary. A flick down to fine leg for a single brings up his fifty - only the second time a No 9 has scored half-centuries in each innings of a Test match.
TeaAnd that is it for the afternoon session. The match is all but over as a contest with India leading by 308 heading into the final session on day five. The only remaining question is whether England will bat again before the match is called off.

Awesome! Super fun
Great Game with lots of levels and interesting characters. Nice concept and design.. Definitely get it!
Worst game I've bought
I feel dumb for thinking this would be good. Gameplay is boring. It doesn't get any more exciting as you progress, and upgrades to the floor, wallpaper of the restaurant are level ups that don't really get me too excited.
Five Stars Game!!!
Fun game, definitely worth!!! The boss levels are really challenging!

Report: Chargers owner to fire Norv Turner, A.J. Smith after season
|It appears that Norv's days are numbered. (US Presswire)
This shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody half-paying attention but Chargers general manager A.J. Smith and coach Norv Turner will be fired after the season, according to a report from UT-San Diego's Kevin Acee.
The details:
Sources said this week that Chargers President Dean Spanos essentially decided at least a month ago that Turner's time was drawing to a rapid close. Spanos, sources said, has more recently resigned himself to the fact that Smith can't be kept in the current environment of plummeting performance and fan unrest.
And unlike last year, when Spanos found enough reason for clemency in a strong finish and past accomplishments, those with knowledge of plans that are already in motion said it seems certain there will be no last-minute change of heart this time.
Ah, yes, last year. In January, days after the Chargers put the finishing touches on another disappointing season, Spanos shocked everybody (including Turner, we'd imagine) by choosing to do nothing.
Acee adds that Spanos is waiting until after the season to make the move not because he's holding out hope for an improbable Chargers playoff run but because that's his preferred time frame.
Shortly after Acee's report, the Chargers issued the following statement:
"There is only one person in this organization who will make those decisions and that's me, and I haven't shared my thoughts with anyone," Spanos said. "I will make my evaluations at the end of the season. Anything coming out now -- from sources or otherwise -- is pure speculation."
Make of this what you will but we can't imagine a scenario where Turner returns. Which means this should give a fan base that hasn't had much to cheer about in recent years reason for (guarded) optimism. It should also officially usher in the, "So, Spanos is definitely hiring Andy Reid, right?" speculation.
Reid, of course, is still gainfully employed with the Eagles, but Philly is currently on an eight-game losing streak and Reid's job security has been an issue since before the season. If Reid does end up in San Diego, it'll be interesting to see how the coaching and personnel duties are divvied up; he's had a hand in such matters in Philly and we're guessing he's going to want similar control wherever he lands next.

But fulfilling that wouldn't be easy. The Lakers finished the season with the best record in the NBA, but it took them the full seven games to beat the Utah Jazz and the Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs.
The Lakers met the Pistons in the Finals, only to lose Game 1, followed by their star point guard, Magic Johnson, coming down with the flu.
But Johnson was able to play, delivering 23 points and 11 assists in Game 2, which the Lakers won 108-96, and came up with 18 points, 14 assists in Game 3 to help the Lakers triumph, 99-86.
The series remained tight, but the Lakers ultimately beat the Pistons, 4-3, to deliver on Pat Riley's promise and win their second consecutive title.
A number of athletes caught the flu bug during the winter games, a problem no doubt exacerbated because of the close living conditions in the athlete's village.
A number of athletes were forced to withdraw or finished well below expectations, including German figure skater Tanja Szewczenko, Canadian figure skaters Marie-Claude Savard-Gagnon and Luc Bradet, and Norwegian speedskater Aadne Sondral.
But perhaps the most prominent athlete to catch the flu was Canadian figure skater Elvis Stojko.
Having won the silver medal in Men's Singles at the 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, Stojko was among the favorites to take the gold at Nagano.
Stojko had a minor groin pull beforehand, which he said was exacerbated by the flu, both of which worked against him.
While he was able to capture the silver medal again, he blames the illness for keeping him from gold.
Chris Weinke brought Florida State to three straight national championship games as their starting quarterback from 1998 to 2000.
The Seminoles won the 1999 Sugar Bowl, emerging as the national championships.
But their bid to repeat appeared to suffer a setback as Weinke came down with the flu just before their 2000 season-ending game against their archrival, the Florida Gators.
They needn't have worried, as Weinke threw three touchdown passes and Florida State annihilated Florida 30-7 to advance to the Orange Bowl, where the championship would be decided.
Despite Weinke's heroics, Florida State was not able to repeat as national champions, falling to Oklahoma 13-2 in the Orange Bowl.
Weinke was awarded the Heisman Trophy, given to college football's best player, at the end of the season.
The influenza outbreak of 1918-19 killed 50 million people--more than three times the number killed in World War I.
Many sporting events were able to continue that year--the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago Cubs 4-2 in 1918 to win their last World Series for a long time--but others ended up bowing out due to the tragic international epidemic.
The Stanley Cup final in March of 1919 pitted the Seattle Metropolitans against the Montreal Canadiens.
The teams played five games in a best of five, but with one game ending in a tie, the series was knotted at two wins apiece headed into the decisive game.
However, a number of Canadiens players had caught the flu at that point. While they attempted to forfeit the series, the Metropolitans did not accept, and so the series was called off.
Joe Hall, a defenseman for the Canadians, died from pneumonia--a complication from the flu--just a few days after the series was cancelled.

Cooking For Your Mum/Mother-in-Law This Sunday? The Chiappas Cook An Easy But Impressive Mother's Day Showstopper
The French actress first came to our attention when she starred as Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter. Then she joined the cast of Gossip Girl as Eva, the girlfriend of the one and only Chuck Bass, and our radar started bleeping.
Her style is oh-so French — impossibly effortless and utterly chic. Clemence always reaches the top of best dressed lists when she walks the red carpet (usually in Chanel), but it's her off-duty style which we adore. She nails the 'oh this old thing? I just found it on my floor' look - she once wore a mens blue shirt, navy blazer and bowler hat to sit on the front row at Chanel. It's all about a trench n' trilby for Ms Poesy.
She is one of Karl Lagerfeld's leading ladies, so she is often seen with a Chanel 2.55 swinging from her arm and a Chanel tweed slung over her shoulders. This means that she has a guarenteed front row ticket to every Chanel show, bien sur. She is a veteran FROW-er and is a regular attendee at Paris and London Fashion Weeks, watching Burberry, Chanel, Chloé and Mulberry.
It's hardly surprising that the it girl has bagged some major ad campaigns, as she was the face of G-Star RAW's Spring/Summer 2012 ad campaign. The blonde beauty was shot in Lisbon by photographer and filmmaker, Anton Corbijn, and the result is a collection of black-and-white images that ooze a fierce rock 'n' roll edge.
She was also the face of Chloé's perfume alongside Chloë Sevigny and the model Anja Rubik and at the time V Magazine declared the trio as the 'three iconic girls of the moment.' Beauty wise she keeps it oh-so simple as she wears her blonde locks loose and tucked behind her ears and wears minimal make up.
Ms. Posey may be Paris personified, but she also LOVES London! She told Grazia Daily that her favourite place to go vintage shopping in Europe is London and did you know, she used to live in uber trendy Dalston.
