Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on December 15, 2011.
Radio for NOW.. Today's music, culture, and fashion is on the new NOW FM
About this project
We're building a new generation of radio. Our radio station is going to connect one on one with our audience. Once we launch this station, we'll have the resources to expand to markets across the US!
The format of 983 NOW FM is highly successful in many markets across the U.S. and we propose a customized version. Musically, NOW FM will be combining artists from Mainstream Top 40 with Rhythmic to appeal to a larger audience. Socially, NOW FM will be on top of latest trends, fashions, and attitudes.
People ages 18-34 will instantly relate to us – and we'll bring the advertisers straight to the cash using platforms the audience understands. Without a direct competitor, NOW 98.3 will effectively serve some of the highest demographics in the New Bern-Washington-Greenville area by catering to their lifestyles. Over half of Eastern Carolina's population is 18-34 years old and is looking for a format like 98.3 NOW FM.
Our station will not just play music, it will be a lifestyle. NOW FM understands these people and how they live through media. We will connect on a deeper level through social media, events, clubs, and our personality on the air. 98 3 NOW FM will be NOW. Using specialized promotions partnered with other local businesses, we can effectively self promote while bringing in revenue from the client.

Animal activists hold vigil for horse, call for ban on carriages downtown
Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Those calling for a ban of horse-drawn carriages downtown gathered outside the Salt Lake City-County Building on Tuesday for a vigil for Jerry, the horse that collapsed while pulling a carriage earlier this month.
Following Jerry's death, about 80 people from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Utah Animal Rights Coalition and other concerned residents held signs that said "RIP Jerry" and "Justice for Jerry," as well as pleas for a ban on horse-drawn carriages in Utah's capital city.
Amy Meyer, who spearheaded the gathering, said no amount of regulation is going to change the urban landscape. She just wants carriages off the street.
"We don't need any more horses dying on the street," said Meyer, with the Utah Animal Rights Coalition. "We don't need anymore accidents involving people. We need to stop this before the problems escalate even more."
An urban environment, she said, is not the place for a horse.
"It is not where they can thrive," Meyer said, "and they would be much better off and much happier if they were not on the street all day, especially pulling a carriage behind them."
Blaine Overson, Jerry's owner and the operator of Carriage for Hire, said he has received threatening calls since the horse's death.
"These (animal activists) are terrorists, straight up," he said. "They're terrorists."
Overson said he has complied with all city ordinances and that Carriage for Hire "plays a really good, honest game." He said the business has continued to operate despite the threats and negative attention.
"The only thing that went wrong was sending the picture," he said. "Other than that, we have followed every rule."
Overson said because his wife was being "terrorized by these animal activists," she sent a picture of a different horse to media outlets, claiming it was Jerry and that the horse had recovered.
Following the vigil, the group made its way to the Salt Lake City Council meeting, where 30 people stood to share their thoughts.
Nicole Melkonian said three years ago her father tried to get her into a carriage along with her sister and brother, but she refused.
"I chose to walk behind the carriage," she said. "Clearly the horse was struggling. Even then I knew it was not well-regulated."
Walter Gunn, a longtime neighbor of Carriage for Hire, said "there is no cruelty in (the owners)."
"They care very much for their animals, and the animals are work horses," he said. "I can't believe that the animals aren't happy working most of the time."
Gunn said the carriages give a "real flavor" to Salt Lake City, and he called for the City Council to regulate the operations but not ban them altogether.
"Accidents happen," he said. "Things are beyond our control."
Lauren Lockey stood to tell the City Council that there should be a compromise.
"I agree with giving animals things to do," she said. "But being down in Salt Lake on hot asphalt is not where an animal should be. I hope there can be an in-between."
Lockey called for more respect for the animals, suggesting they have protections just as human workers do.
"These animals don't have a choice," she said.
On Tuesday morning, Councilman Charlie Luke toured the Carriage for Hire facility. He addressed the group at the vigil prior to the City Council meeting and thanked those gathered for not letting the issue disappear.
"Everything is on the table," he said. "What I don't want to do as a council member is try to get stuck with one position at this point."
Last week, the City Council formally authorized the use of council staff to look into the issue, Luke said.
Councilman Luke Garrott said the fact that Carriage for Hire misrepresented facts is "very, very disturbing."
Garrott said the company's license will automatically be renewed unless it violates city ordinances.
"Until we can prove that they have violated part of our ordinance, we can't yank or even suspend their permits," he said. "That's a problem, and that needs to change."

Area women are invited to a day of entertainment, health and financial advice, rich desserts and shopping when a local group holds an Expo Fundraiser Saturday, May 14, at Mystical Rose Gardens, town of Martell. The event, planned by the Women's Deacon Committee of St. John's Lutheran Church in Spring Valley, will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the former Anderson Plant Farm, W5415 890th Ave., Baldwin. Over 20 vendors will offer items ranging from jewelry to chocolate to accessories to scrapbooking supplies.
St. Croix County residents are invited to comment on a proposed redistricting plan when the St. Croix County Board holds a special meeting at 9 a.m. Thursday, May 12, at the Government Center in Hudson. The board's Administration Committee reviewed six draft plans and chose one that meets all the guidelines, said Senior Planner Ellen Denzer, speaking to supervisors at their May 3 meeting. The tentative redistricting plan, which sets up the 19 supervisory districts in the wake of the 2010 Census, aims for an ideal district population of 4,439. Only District 14 meets that goal exactly.
The Wisconsin Legislature's Joint Committee on Finance has held its hearings and begun the job of rewriting Gov. Scott Walker's two-year budget proposal, said Senator Sheila Harsdorf (R-River Falls). Harsdorf, serving on the committee for the fourth time in her legislative career, said the 16-member panel began budget work April 26 and will continue to meet every Tuesday and Thursday until it finishes. Most of the Legislature's work on budget is done in Joint Finance.
When Lori Kent learned her job in industry would be cut, she looked at her options and charted an entirely different course. Kent works at the Johnson Controls plant in Hudson in the division that makes seats for Ford Ranger pickups. With the Ford Motor Company Twin Cities Assembly Plant's anticipated closing, Kent expects to lose her forklift operator's job in December. After surveying the job market, Kent signed up for a nursing assistant course through the American Red Cross Western Wisconsin Chapter.
River Falls educators heard with disbelief and sorrow recent allegations that a bestselling author many of them have supported for years may have misused donations and exaggerated his heart-touching tales. In a "60 Minutes" report that aired this month, CBS News investigators said there are "serious questions" about how millions of dollars have been spent by Greg Mortenson's charity, Central Asia Institute; whether he personally benefited from the charity; and if stories in his books are true. The CBS report said its investigators looked at 30 of the 141 schools Mortenson has said he helped
A Tomah bank has filed a lawsuit against River Falls, claiming the city owes the bank $240,000. Timberwood Bank filed a complaint in Pierce County Court last week, claiming the city wrote checks to Martinsen Investment and Land Company, and although a development agreement said the checks should be made payable to both Martinsen and Timberwood, they were not. "This claim has been reviewed by the city attorney and is without merit.
"Not many can top this," declares a Los Angeles Times headline. A Twin Cities television report proclaims Tara Frey and her date will be "the prom's sweetest couple." A television network reporter says the River Falls High School senior won't have to worry that another girl will show up in the same dress.
Organizers of a petition drive to force a recall election against state Senator Sheila Harsdorf (R-River Falls) say they expect to have no problem collecting more than the 15,744 signatures needed by May 2. A report filed Friday with the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board shows the Committee to Recall Harsdorf has received $67,695 in donations and spent $67,156. The amounts collected and spent on the Harsdorf drive are higher than the figures reported in any of the recall drives against 15 other state senators. According to the report, the money has paid for office supplies, petition
A chorus organized in 1951 by three River Falls men fond of barbershop harmony will celebrate its 60th anniversary Saturday with two concerts in Stillwater, Minn. This week the guys on the stage shared a little secret: Croix Chordsmen members expect to enjoy the shows at least as much as their audiences. It started in 1948 when three men from River Falls -- "Swede" Olson, Warren Richardson and John Linehan -- wanted to organize a barbershop group, said Mac Barlass, who manages PR for the Chordsmen. With help from singers from Menomonie, the St.
Once the dust has settled, even the protesters in the street outside will realize the budget-repair bill he signed into law Friday is a good thing, said Gov. Scott Walker Tuesday. State government, he said, is doing what families all across Wisconsin have had to do recently: Make choices, hunker down and pay bills. His visit was announced only a few hours earlier, but by the time Walker arrived half an hour early for a 2 p.m.

Most likely Galt heard Willie Anschutz rattling the bathroom door, a disruption that doubtless would have tried his concentration.
These are small strips that produce color change in a solution to determine its concentration.

Such a concentration has its comedy as well as a surreal grandeur.
There was a shuffling about, a confusion in the centre, a concentration of eyes.

Fair and responsible banking risk assessments – by which financial institutions identify, measure, control, and monitor their lending and, more recently, servicing activities to prevent discriminatory, unfair, deceptive, abusive, and predatory acts and practices – have long been part of the compliance function within financial institutions. To date, the literature on such assessments has focused largely on how to conduct them on mortgage business lines, but has not addressed non-mortgage operations, such as credit card, student, and automobile lending. The mortgage-centric focus of most articles results, in part, from historically greater regulatory, enforcement, and litigation scrutiny of the mortgage business. Moreover, Home Mortgage Disclosure Act ("HMDA") data, which identifies applicants in protected classes, simplifies the quantitative components of a fair and responsible banking risk assessment. Outside the mortgage context, the difficult questions of whether, and how, to conduct such risk assessments have received scant attention.
The current regulatory environment renders timely consideration of whether, and if so how, financial institutions can best assess fair and responsible banking risks in their non-mortgage business lines. This may be especially true for mono-line and non-bank institutions that historically may not have conducted such risk assessments, and for more diversified financial institutions that may have conducted these assessments with less emphasis on measuring non-mortgage risks.

SENIOR SEASON (2009): Rare commodity as 6- foot-3 hard-throwing lefthander who was projected by Baseball America as BIG EAST Conference's top prospect for 2008 Major League draft (rankings prior to `07 season) ... likely to fill a relief role in 2009 ... noted for arm strength, high release point and lively fastball ... keys to his progress include repeating his delivery and improved command ... looking to turn in a steady and more consistent season in 2009 - as his first three seasons with the Irish included record-setting low hit totals allowed (23 H in 45.0 innings; 4.6 H/9 IP, .146 opp. batting avg.) but plenty of free bases surrendered (35 BB, 10 HBP, 9 WP; 9.4 BB+HB+WP per 9 IP) ... his other career stats with the Irish include a 4.20 ERA, 0-2 record and one save in 25 appearances (seven GS) ... his four career appearances in Notre Dame's Blue-Gold World Series include a pair of tough-luck losses ... spent the summer of 2008 with the Hays Larks of the Jayhawk League ... made 10 appearances and two starts ... went 0- 1 with a 8.03 ERA in 12.1 innings of work ... allowed just three hits as opponents batted just .083 against him and struck out 14, but walked 28.

SOPHOMORE SEASON (2007): Part of victorious Gold squad in 2006 Blue-Gold World Series, despite losing game-2 when eventual winning run (4-3) came home on throwing error (3 IP, 4 R/3 ER, 3 H, 4 BB, 2 Ks) ... split time as starter and situational reliever while trying to find consistency in his outings and innings ... set the Notre Dame record for fewest hits allowed per 9.0 innings (4.26; 15 H/31.2 IP), besting Ed Lupton's record (4.83, in `63) that was set in the wood-bat era and had stood for nearly 45 years ... also led staff in low opponent batting average (.146), low batting by left-handed (.107) and right-handed (.160) hitters, low batting with runners on base (.211) and low leadoff on-base percentage (.181) ... his dominance in limiting opposing hits often was counteracted by high walk totals (25; 7.1 BB/9 IP), in addition to allowing other free bases (7 HBP, 5 WP) ... his combined totals of BB+HBP+WP was 10.5 per 9 IP, leading to a 4.55 ERA, an 0-2 record and only one save ... ranked third on staff in starts (7), fourth in opponent two-out batting average (.229) and fifth in Ks per 9 IP (7.1; 25 Ks), groundouts per 9 IP (10.8) and groundout/flyout ratio (1.4) ... did not allow a home run in his 13 appearances ... allowed 2-of-6 inherited runners to score ... his first batters faced (out of the bullpen) hit 1-for-6 (2 RBI, 4 Ks) ... had a 9.35 ERA after his first three games pitched (all starts; 8.2 total IP) and then made three short relief stints before a solid start vs. IPFW (4 IP, 2 H, BB, 3 Ks,W; 3-2) ... played lead role in a giving the Eck Stadium fans a rare sight on April 18, 2007 - after combining with Purdue RHP Matt Bischofff to allow no hits through the first 7-plus innings ... he did allow six walks by Purdue in that game (all in the first 6 IP) while the only hit vs. Elam (in 9 IP) came with two outs in the 8th ... Bischoff 's perfect game ended on a leadoff single from Jeremy Barnes in the 9th (the Irish won, 1-0 in the 10th) ... became the first Irish pitcher with a 1-hit, 9- inning appearance since RHP Grant Johnson's complete game in the record-setting 25-1 win over South Alabama (`02 NCAA Regional, at Eck) ... saw his ERA plummet to 3.75 after the Purdue game ... had another quality start vs. Ball State (4.1 IP, R, 2 H, 4 BB, K ,WP, 2 HB; 7-3) ... inherited a 9th-inning jam and recorded final out to save 6-4, series-clinching win at league leader Rutgers ... was rated by Baseball America as top prospect in wood-bat Jayhawk League during summer of `06, after stellar showing with Hays (Kan.) Larks that included leading league in wins (5-0), ERA (0.95) and strikeouts (42) during league play (his Jayhawk League pitcher-of-the-year stats also included only 7 BB in 28 IP of league action) ... Baseball America cited him for a summer fastball that touched 95 mph, to go along with "excellent command and clean mechanics" during his summer stint with the Larks ... played alongside former Notre Dame teammate Ross Brezovsky on `06 Larks team that won Jayhawk League title, advanced to National Baseball Congress World Series (Wichita, Kan.) and finished 40-16 ... his overall stats (including non-league games): 2.77, 7-0 record, .127 opp. batting, 14.2 Ks/9 IP (77 Ks in 48.2 IP) ... his inning total with the Larks matched his total of walks (28) and hits (21) allowed, for a solid 9.06 WHIP (BB+H/9 IP) ... allowed only one home run with Hays but did have other control issues (8 HB, 6 WP) in his 20 GP (4 GS, 2 SV).

It was the year 2016, and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick was the Democratic nominee against President Mitt Romney.
Crazy dream, you say? Dream, yes. But not so crazy. Republican Romney and President Barack Obama are neck and neck in most polls. And Patrick — in an electrifying speech at last Saturday's state Democratic Convention and a smooth appearance the next morning on NBC's "Meet the Press" — proved he could be a force in this and the next presidential election.

Integration of small and large packet-level FEC codes with data carousels for reliable multicast transport over satellite links
ABSTRACT Automatic repeat request (ARQ), data carousels and packet-level forward error correction (PLFEC) are fundamental techniques for combating packet loss in point-to-multipoint communications. Generally speaking, ARQ-based techniques are unattractive due to the feedback implosion they generate. Furthermore, in broadcast/multicast wireless networks, radio resources are scarce and feedback may not be an option at all. Two error mitigation mechanisms that become relevant in this scenario are data carousels and PLFEC. In this work, we consider the application of these two techniques as components of an integrated layer in satellite environments. We also investigate the impact of the type of PLFEC code, small or large, on the main user-oriented performance metric of the data carousels, the average content download time

ABSTRACT: The proliferation of applications that must reliably distribute bulk data to a large number of autonomous clients motivates the design of new multicast and broadcast protocols. We describe an ideal, fully scalable protocol for these applications that we call a digital fountain. A digital fountain allows any number of heterogeneous clients to acquire bulk data with optimal efficiency at times of their choosing. Moreover, no feedback channels are needed to ensure reliable delivery, even in the face of high loss rates.ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review 04/2001; 28(4).

The differential criteria between this entity and collision tumor and carcinosarcoma are emphasized. Diagnosis and treatment is discussed.Journal of Surgical Oncology 09/1985; 30(1):42-5.

ABSTRACT: Lymphoma of gastric-mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue (MALT) type has been linked to infection with Helicobacter pylori. We investigated the effect on MALT lymphoma of eradicating H pylori infection. 33 patients with primary gastric low-grade MALT lymphoma associated with H pylori gastritis were treated with omeprazole (120 mg daily) and amoxycillin (2.25 g daily) for 14 days to eradicate H pylori. In addition to histology, PCR was used to examine proliferation of monoclonal B cells before treatment and during follow-up. All patients had at least two post-treatment examinations, and all became negative for H pylori, 2 after a second treatment course. On histology, 23 (70%) patients showed complete regression and 4 (12%) partial regression of lymphoma. 6 (18%) patients had no change after cure of H pylori infection. 1 was treated with chemotherapy. Of 5 treated surgically, 4 were found to have high-grade B-cell lymphoma on histology of the resected stomach and 1 a high-grade T-cell lymphoma. PCR showed complete disappearance of monoclonal B cells after cure of H pylori infection in 13 of 16 patients investigated. During median follow-up of 1 year no relapse of MALT lymphoma occurred. Low-grade primary gastric MALT lymphoma can completely regress after eradication of H pylori infection. However, longer follow-up is needed to clarify whether the remission is lasting.The Lancet 07/1995; 345(8965):1591-4. DOI:10.1016/S0140-6736(95)90113-2 · 45.22 Impact Factor

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Top education leaders in the Texas Senate are examining ways to extend school days and school years to improve classroom learning.
Members of the Education Committee heard invited testimony Thursday from a school administrator at Houston Independent School District. There, officials sought permission to increase the school year by 10 days at some struggling campuses.
The district also made the school day longer by an hour at some campuses. It paid for the initiatives using government grants for at-risk children and donations from businesses and the local community.
More time at school helped students improve dramatically academically.
Senators also heard from a nonprofit group that taught struggling public school students in Dallas on Saturdays using its own trained professionals rather than area teachers.

Also, you can tell they're not really kissing. It's actually pretty unconvincing.
Yep. They just touch lower lips. You can plainly see Shatner's open mouth below his upper lip. So when I read about how Shatner "snuck in the kiss", just in time where they couldn't do another take, I was like "what kiss?"
I think it was in Shatner's "Star Trek Memories" and it struck me as one of the few stories to feel actually true; something about they shot it multiple times there was a choice of going with an actual kiss or a fake one. They "copped out" went with the fake one and he said "when you watch the episode next time, you'll see it."
The book is in my attic somewhere, so I can't dig it out at the moment....
