Westlake, OH - Mar 9, 2010 - Listener Driven Radio (LDR) has formed a partnership with Byrnes Media to launch a new software program for listeners in Canada. Built on crowd-sourcing, listeners can use Internet access, an iPhone or smart phone to provide input into what plays next on the air.
LDR's software enables listener real-time interaction via mobile, widget (embeddable on any site) or a station website, along with social networks. Listener responses drive the on-air, digital platform or streamed programming through a series of specialized music scheduling parameters set up by the station's program director.
The widget-based software within the LDR technology allows a broadcaster to constantly absorb listeners' input, song votes, comments on music and automatically adapt programming output as listener input is received. LDR does this while instantly feeding social networks such as Twitter to create increased listener tune in.
LDR also has agreements with Citadel Media, CBS Radio, Border Media, Vox Communications and several European broadcasters.

Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States of America. The state is named after George Washington, the first President of the United States. It is the only U.S. state named after a U.S. citizen.
Washington was carved out of the western part of Washington Territory and admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889. In 2006, the Census Bureau estimated the state's population at 6,395,798. Residents are called "Washingtonians" (emphasis on the third syllable, pronounced as tone). Washington is sometimes called Washington state to distinguish it from Washington, D.C., the US capital.

Garden grocer is excellent in customer service! Very reliable and delivers exactly what is ordered. When bell services from my holt gave me my order and I noticed an item was missing I called garden grocer and within 2 minutes they told me bell services had it , it was in cold storage. So I checked and sure enough garden grocer was right! They know what they are doing! Highly recommend. So convenient , they could not make it any easier!
My order was perfect and waiting for me at the resort. As I arrived at 11 am, I was truly impressed!
The suggestion to use Garden Grocer in Orlando was such a phenomenal idea. We were able to order some of the items that were not able to be placed in "carry on" and also able to order some items that we weren't sure our kids would have available to them at Disney, and also a couple of beverage choices to cut down on costs. Garden Grocer delivered straight to the Disney property and we were able to pick up packages when we returned from the parks. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience, can't wait to try it again!!

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota wants to follow up its 2018 Super Bowl host duties with an NCAA men's basketball Final Four in 2019 or 2020.
State, business and sports leaders appeared Tuesday with Gov. Mark Dayton to describe their push for college basketball's biggest weekend. They think the gleaming new $1 billion stadium being built for the Minnesota Vikings is the perfect setting for the Final Four. The stadium is scheduled to open in 2016.
Last month, the NFL chose Minneapolis to host the Super Bowl four years from now. Minneapolis was already named a finalist by the NCAA for the championship event sometime between 2017 and 2020. Officials say it makes the most sense to wait until after the Super Bowl.
A decision is expected by early November.

Chris Brown Returns To "Dancing With The Stars" Tonight
Chris Brown will be hitting the Dancing With the Stars stage tonight, May 8, for a performance of "Turn Up the Music," the lead single from his forthcoming album, Fortune.
Brown will be performing on the results show, where winners and losers are announced. His appearance, which marks his second on the popular dance competition show, was officially announced on May 4. Producers of the show kept his performance under wraps until then, but a well-connected dancer and choreographer offered a clue a few days in advance.
DWTS chris brown! Next week let's goooo!
— Earl Punch Wright (@Punchcity) May 1, 2012
Brown last hit the DWTS stage in March of last year, shortly after a much publicized dustup at Good Morning America in which he allegedly threw a chair that broke his dressing room window. He was upset over the questions interviewer Robin Roberts asked him about the 2009 attack on Rihanna.
As a result, his DTWS performance was surrounded with a cloud of controversy as fans of the show posted their protests on the ABC.com. The announcement of tonight's performance comes sans the outrage and activity that clogged the air of his DWTS season 12 performance.
Aside from Brown's performance, there will be an American Bandstand tribute to Dick Clark.

Just three days after abruptly stopping service and leaving travelers stranded, the parent of discount airline Direct Air has filed for bankruptcy protection.
Southern Sky Air & Tours LLC late Thursday filed for Chapter 11 protection in Massachusetts. Court documents show the company has between $10 million and $50 million in debt and just $500,000 to $1 million in assets. The company has not yet filed several documents required by the court as part of the bankruptcy filing process, including a list of its top 20 creditors. The airline said it has 100 to 200 creditors, which could include everything from fuel suppliers to airports.
The airline abruptly stopped flying Monday afternoon _ at the peak of the spring break travel season _ apparently because it couldn't pay its fuel bills. Direct Air, based in Myrtle Beach, S.C., says it will not fly again until May 15. Ticket holders were told to contact their credit card companies for refunds.
Direct Air began flying in March of 2007. It serves 17 cities in the Midwest, East and South _ mostly smaller markets where big airlines don't fly. It's faced increased competition in recent years from a number of discount carriers including Spirit, Allegiant and Southwest. Rapidly accelerating fuel prices this year were also a culprit in the company's filing.
An attorney for Direct Air did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment on the bankruptcy filing.

Blog per tempo di guida

I've got lists. Things to do before the hols take over, things to do when I'm on hols, things to do when I'm back. It's a disease. Here's today's…
1) Write blog, try to avoid too many brackets (always annoying).
2) Meet the accountant, try to stay interested
3)Tidy house, fix subsidence and leaky gutters
4)Mow the lawn, restore failing fences and walls
5)Meet sister for pizza
6)Regret choosing the hottest pizza
7)Try to write a chapter. Fail. Settle for a paragraph.
8) Realise the paragraph you've written is no good. Delete/sob.
9)Greet the team with humorous story about the 1980s
10) Rehearse adlibs
13) Any other business
14)Read 1 page of a book, fall asleep
So further to points 1 and 11. Nige is on his holidays already so his Italian chum and all round culinary superstar Gennaro Contaldo is on hand to give us our foody Thursday. The man who was a mentor to Jamie Oliver is gracing us with skills tonight! He says he's giving us Gennaro's Chicken Salad-my guess is the key word there is Gennaro. We can all do chicken salad but he does Chicken Salad. So how about all things ITALIAN for the oldies to make him feel at home….
15)Read more books, listen to more music, learn...

I have just walked back from the garage where an MOT is to be performed on my car, bumping into Tony Parsons on the way (oh my showbiz life). I bought a coffee on the way back and as I walked the pavements home realised I was nursing it for warmth. Like it was November or something. Anyway, jumpers on, chins up and carry on.
Tunesday's 10CC offering (the right speed) Une Nuit a Paris was loved by many, hated by a few but played with a flourish. Eight minute songs are an oppressed minority and need their own platform. As Messrs Godley/Creme/Stewart/Gouldman sing 'Thats the way the croissant crumbles after all'
Julian Clary today armed with a new children book 'The Bolds'- a family of hyenas who impersonate humans in Teddington. Julian has written adult books and memoirs before but not ventured into the (so much more difficult) world of children's books.

Blowing hot and cold

So you're planning for Edinburgh? There are meetings about these things, running orders, bands booked, hotels selected, guests lined-up but I can't focus there just yet. I have a holiday to go on and a book to finish, then I can take part. It's like all the (very important) trails for Proms in the Park in September…I'm not there yet. Does anyone need to see Back To School ads on TV and the cinema…no because we aren't there yet. And I don't need to buy clothes for the autumn because…oh actually that's quite useful thanks. But in general, one thing at a time, one day at a time. Cue Lena Martell…
Bringing another Tunesday your way today. Maybe we should play Mountain Jam by the Allman Brothers (33.45) followed by Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull (43.50) and go shopping while we groove awhile. Or maybe not. More epicness after 6…
And how about TOPSY TURVY oldies. July started with a a record busting heatwave (remember that) and is finishing with a blast of October-style wind and rain. Changeable is an understatement...

I admit that I'm cold. I admit that I was tempted to put the central heating on. I admit that there was a moment of annoyance as yet more clouds rolled in, dumping their payload on us. But then I put a jumper on, made some coffee and switched on the lights. Sorted. Memories of beach hut holidays, wet towels, powdered soup with lumpy bits in the bottom, compulsory cinema attendance (always Herbie Rides Again), damp sleeping bags, swimming costumes that won't dry and checking the temperatures around the world. Happy days!

I shall mark the busiest transport day of the summer/of all-time by barely moving from this room. I shall sally-forth for ARF of course but otherwise it looks like a day for staying put. A monsoon-like day is promised in these parts- the sou'wester is called for! A touch of luminous yellow to brighten up a dreary day should go down well. A passing likeness to Christopher Robin shouldn't be a problem. Bobby will have a huge travel bulletin-agony for some, a smiling 'pour-me-another-one' face for others.

Right then, Thursday what have you got? Can you be better than Wednesday I wonder? JW was a delight as ever and always happiest when in the company of her readers. She and Anthony Horowitz are machines! They just can't stop themselves. Jacqueline has clearly inspired a generation (or more? How long is a generation anyway?) with her books and her fans love her to pieces. And she's not slowing down any time soon…
Foodie Thursday ready to go with Nigel's Tray Baked Rose Petal Lamb Chops. Judging from the photos he's posted, there's plenty of chilli, lime, garlic, coriander and mint in there...
What Jacqueline did next...
Simon Mayo
Top Tunesday action seems to have been well received all round! We could have gone on till midnight with all the suggestions and that would have been fine with me (though tricky for Jamie, Jo, David etc). Tunesday will return!
So Dame Jacqueline Wilson on today with a new book 'Katy', a new musical and a new ring on her (already crowded) fingers. The former Children's Laureate has such an army of fans that when we said we'd send a copy of her new book to emailers ahead of release with a chance of talking to her-everything melted. This woman has been writing serious best-sellers since the...
All at the right speed
Simon Mayo
Basically nothing is the same until September. We all drift away and wander back, colleagues come and go (in Matt's case, mainly go) and tans appear and fade again. Between now and when the 'Back to School' notices appear (although they may be up already) lots of life goes on 'pause'. 'Shall we reconvene in the autumn?' is the cry, so pour me another lemon and lime cordial with mint and bits of fruit and tell me when we're all wearing cardigans again.
Imelda Staunton was fabulous last night I thought-and that first night celebration! Champagne, those crisps in a tube and beans on toast....
Everything's coming up roses
Simon Mayo
Managed a movie, a birthday do, a farewell and, shamefully, two burgers. One would have been fine but then one-ordered ahead of time and then forgotten-arrived and that was that. A week of broccoli atonement beckons. Beach ready? I'm working on it. There are always healthier options but when the moment comes, the 'summer salad with anchovies and wilted spinach on a bed of shredded cabbage' never quite tempts enough. My childish tastes take over again...
Monday sparkles today as we can offer you the terrific Imelda Staunton, star of the West End revival of Gypsy. It is the quintessential...
20% of life is beetles
Simon Mayo
Up super early, jobs to do, books to write, children to give money to (my own, usually), washing to hang, interviews to do,newspaper articles to shout at, dead rats to curse, limbs to stretch, life to ponder etc. Then a mini-collapse for elevenses before a late rally. That's the bit you'll hear (hopefully). No movie show because of the golf so all systems go for an ARF that may well feature lots of 'off-on-holiday' types. Hooray for the end of term and kids who will be bored by Monday! 'You've spent how many hours on Minecraft?' 'Can't you get a hobby?' 'No you can't have crisps for...

L'Wren Scott: What You Need To Know About Preventing Suicide
L'Wren Scott: What You Need To Know About Preventing Suicide
L'Wren Scott: What You Need To Know About Preventing Suicide
In the wake of designer L'Wren Scott's death, it's important to recognize what a huge impact suicide has on our society. L'Wren was reported to be over 6 million dollars in debt, and people have done a lot of speculating about why she didn't ask her partner Mick Jagger for financial help or what might have driven her to give up on life.
Would getting a financial bailout have made a difference? An individual's reasons for suicide are so varied and complex that it's unfair and irresponsible to armchair quarterback someone's reasons for making this very personal, final choice. It reduces the act to a dramatic caricature where people are left scrambling to make sense of the incomprehensible.
According to the New York Times, suicide has risen sharply in the past decade, killing more people than car accidents. Unfortunately the literature on suicide focuses on teenagers and the elderly, while people in middle age are not mentioned nearly as often. Suicide in the military kills 50 percent more people than actual war according to pentagon statistics. And these are the suicides that were actually reported as such. When you consider that because of our society-wide reluctance to address this problem head-on, it's hard to tell how many other deaths we can actually attribute to suicide.
It becomes clear that while we struggle to understand what happened to L'Wren in the public eye, it's important to focus on what we can do in our private lives to prevent suicide in our loved ones and ourselves. It's time to lessen the shame and start clearing the way for a more resourceful conversation about our mental health.
Suicide risk factors vary depending on socioeconomic factors, but according to the national institute of mental health, they are as follows:
- Depression and other mental disorders
- Substance-abuse disorder (often in combination with other mental disorders)
- Prior suicide attempt
- Family history of suicide
- Family violence including physical or sexual abuse
- Firearms in the home
- Incarceration
- Exposure to suicidal behavior of others, such as family members or peers
Signs of suicide to watch out for in others are:
- Talking about wanting to die or to kill oneself
- Looking for a way to kill oneself, such as searching online or buying a gun
- Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live
- Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain
- Talking about being a burden to others
- Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs
- Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly
- Sleeping too little or too much
- Withdrawing or feeling isolated
- Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge
- Displaying extreme mood swings. KEEP READING ...

CHURCH of the Nativity in Bethlehem 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
In Washington they joke that no one is safe so long as Congress is in session,
but nothing can compare to the "Flat Earth" society operating within the UN
system.Last week, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization made a series of decisions regarding religious sites in
the Holy Land that are both patently absurd and woefully unhelpful in the search
for peace and mutual understanding in this fractured region.First,
UNESCO followed up on last year's admission of "Palestine" as a member state of
the world body by listing the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem as a World
Heritage site located in this nonexistent country of
Palestine.Incredibly, the traditional place of Christ's birth and the
pilgrimage route leading to it were also added to the list of endangered World
Heritage sites.In pushing for this decree, the Palestinian Authority
argued that the Church of the Nativity was in danger because the "Israeli
occupation" was preventing them from repairing a leaky roof in the church as
well as blocking access to this revered site.Ahead of the vote, a team
of UNESCO experts had visited Bethlehem and determined that the church, in fact,
was not endangered and did not even qualify yet for World Heritage status. The
Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Armenian Orthodox clerics who oversee the Nativity
compound concurred with these findings in a letter sent to UNESCO in April,
which urged that the site not be turned into a political football.Yet a
majority of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee did just that at its annual
session in St. Petersburg last Friday. Ignoring the pleas of the clergymen and
the advice of their own experts, 13 of the 21 member states on the Committee
voted to prematurely grant the church World Heritage status and blame Israel for
endangering it.Now Israel was not opposed to listing the Nativity Church
as a place of great significance to the entire world. But it did object to the
politicizing of the process and to the finding that it is endangered. After all,
nothing is stopping the roof repairs and over two million Christian pilgrims
managed to safely visit the Church of the Nativity last year.In another
swipe at Israel last week, the UNESCO Committee also endorsed a Jordanian
declaration from some 30 years ago that accused Israel of endangering the Temple
Mount and walls of the Old City of Jerusalem.Amman managed to add
Jerusalem's walled city and the Temple Mount to the World Heritage list in 1981
and then to the endangered list in 1982. But according to the Petra news agency,
UNESCO has now accepted the Hashemite Kingdom's claim that it has jurisdiction
over these areas and that the Israeli occupation is harming the cultural
heritage of the city.The issue of Jerusalem is back on UNESCO's agenda
because Israel is trying to repair a rickety foot bridge to the Mughrabi Gate,
the only access to the Temple Mount compound for Jews and Christians. It has
been in danger of collapsing in recent years due to local earth tremors and
heavy winter rains, and Israeli authorities have developed plans to replace the
wooden bridge with a sturdier structure.But Jordan has objected,
insisting it alone has the right to make the repairs. The Palestinians also
exert a claim to being the proper guardian of the Muslim and Christian holy
sites in Jerusalem, yet the PA backed the recent Jordanian effort at
UNESCO.This is because the Israeli plan calls for first conducting an
archeological excavation of the embankment underneath the Mughrabi bridge and
the Palestinians are afraid even more artifacts will be uncovered there proving
the ancient Jewish connection to the area.So it is clear that the
Palestinians are once again manipulating UN forums like UNESCO, where they enjoy
automatic majorities against Israel, to further their political campaign to
delegitimize the Jewish state. In this instance, they have portrayed Israel as a
reckless and uncivilized destroyer of cherished Christian and Muslim holy
places, and thus unfit to be included in the family of nations.In
addition, the PA is once again circumventing direct talks with Israel to achieve
peace or cooperation at any level and instead trying to impose solutions from
the outside.UNESCO should not be lending itself to such machinations, as
this undermines its own stated goal of contributing to the building of peace
among nations and peoples through an intercultural dialogue based upon respect
for commonly shared values.Yet UNESCO members have now entrusted a
revered church to a Palestinian regime that has compiled a sordid record on
safeguarding Christian and Jewish religious sites. For example, PA police stood
by in October 2000 while a Palestinian mob looted and razed Joseph's Tomb in
Nablus. Upon orders from PA leader Yasser Arafat, PA security forces also
assaulted and forcefully removed Russian Orthodox priests and nuns at
monasteries in Hebron and Jericho.Perhaps the most egregious example of
the PA's lack of credibility when it comes to safeguarding holy sites occurred
at the very Church of the Nativity now entrusted to the Palestinians. In a
dramatic April 2002 standoff with IDF troops, gunmen from Arafat's own Fatah
faction truly endangered the historic Church by commandeering the building and
wiring it throughout with explosives.In contrast, it cannot be stressed
enough that Israel has a far better record on safeguarding and allowing access
to holy sites than any other sovereign who has ruled the Holy Land over these
many centuries.Yet the fiasco goes on! And the latest UNESCO decisions
will only whet the Palestinians' appetite to encroach on more religious sites
within Israel. In 2010, it was Rachel's Tomb near Bethlehem. Next, we could see
the PA exerting its claim to the Western Wall, which they insist is a Muslim
holy site known as the al-Buraq Wall, where Muhammad tied his winged horse in
his mythical "Night Journey." After all, it lies just inches away from the
"Israeli occupied" Mughrabi bridge.The writer is media director for the

text: Benefits Access to Retirement Plans Varies in Private Sector By PLANSPONSOR staff email@example.com | September 21, 2012 September 21, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – Nearly two-thirds of private-industry workers had access to some form of retirement plan, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Access to retirement plans varied significantly by major occupational group, full- or part-time status, bargaining status and wage category. Management, professional and related occupations had nearly twice the access rate and more than three times the participation rate of service occupations. (Some examples of service occupations are health care support, protective service, food preparation, maintenance and personal care workers.) Similarly, full-time workers had nearly twice the access rate and three times the participation rate of part-time workers. Union workers showed very high access (92%) and participation (85%) rates for retirement plans. High-wage workers (those in the top 25% of all wage earners, with earnings at or above $24.81 per hour) had significantly higher rates of access and participation in retirement plans than those of low-wage workers (those in the lowest 25% of all wage earners, with earnings at or below $10.69 per hour). High-wage workers had access rates of 85% and participation rates of 75%. In other words, 89% of the high-wage workers who were eligible for retirement benefits participated in the plan (known as the take-up rate), a significantly higher share than the take-up rate of 45% for low-wage workers. Workers in large establishments (500 workers or more) had a retirement participation rate that was more than twice that of workers in small establishments (less than 100 workers). In addition, the take-up rate for workers in large establishments was 20 percentage points higher than the rate for workers in small establishments. The BLS' "Beyond the Numbers" report also provides an overview of medical and paid leave benefits for private-industry workers. The report is here.
