Scope and Content Note
Family members gather at Mosswood
for the funeral of Norman Riggins, 1941
The bulk of the documents and photographs in this collection was donated to the Lakeland Public Library by Margaret Darracott Pinkston, the granddaughter of Norman A. Riggins and the unofficial family historian and genealogist. Much of this collection served as the primary source material for her book Mosswood Remembered. Some documents and photographs were donated by other members of the extended Riggins/Darracott family.
The records in this collections are in a variety of formats and document to some extent the history of the Riggins and Darracott families and their roles in the growth and development of Lakeland. The records were preserved largely with the intention of devising family genealogies. As a result, they tend to focus more on the personal and kinship relations of the individuals than on the roles of those individuals in the larger world around them. There is almost nothing in the collection relating to the many business and civic activities in which Norman Riggins was involved. The records do provide, however, a fascinating glimpse into the everyday lives of several generations of one of Lakeland's most distinguished families.
The Riggins Family Papers total 6.75 linear feet and were organized into five series as follows:
Series I, Family Papers;
Series II, Family Genealogies;
Series III, Business Files;
Series IV, Photographs;
Series V, Memorabilia.
Series I, Family Papers, 1863-1986, contains the personal papers of several generations of the Riggins and Darracott families. Included are correspondence, news clips, scrapbooks, fragments of wills, and personal reminiscences.
Series II, Family Genealogies, 1872-1980, contains genealogies and family trees of the Riggins and Darracott families and their various branches. All of the genealogies were compiled by, or collected by, Margaret Darracott Pinkston for use in her book, Mosswood Remembered.
Series III, Business Files, 1889-1951, contains fragmentary records of the business and financial dealings of Norman A. Riggins. Included are contracts, correspondence, deeds, leases, mortgages, receipts, business licenses, and the articles of incorporation of the Polk County Agricultural Fair Association.
Series IV, Photographs, @1880's-1980's, consists of photographic prints and negatives of several generations of the Riggins and Darracott families (pictured above)and their ancestral home, Mosswood.
Series V, Memorabilia, @1862-1950, contains a variety of certificates awarded to various family members, college and high school diplomas, high school commencement programs, scrapbooks, and family coats of arms.

|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to support licensure of GSK Biologicals' MMR vaccine (Priorix®) in the US by generating immunogenicity and safety data in contrast to the US standard of care, Merck's MMR vaccine (M-M-R®II), when given as a second dose to children four to six years of age.
|Detailed Description
The GSK Biologicals' MMR vaccine (Priorix®) and Merck's MMR vaccine (M-M-R®II) are referred to as Inv_MMR vaccine and Com_MMR vaccine respectively. 2 lots of the comparator vaccine (Com_MMR_L1 and Com_MMR_L2) will be used, but the 2 lots will be analysed as a pool.
The Inv_MMR vaccine will be administered as a second dose to children who already received a first dose Com_MMR vaccine. Since the second dose of a MMR vaccine in the US is routinely co-administered with DTaP-IPV vaccine (Kinrix®) and varicella vaccine (VV) (ProQuad® or Varivax®), some children will receive one dose of these vaccines along with either of the MMR vaccines.

Who makes best braided SS supply hose (for washing machines, toilets)
I want to replace my old washing machine and toilet supply hoses (many years old, toilet hoses are plain plastic).
Who makes the best braided stainless steel flexible inlet hose for washing machines? Google searches turned up references to Watts and FluidMaster. I don't want the "Floodsafe" types that supposedly cut off when they detect too high a pressure; I've seen reports of them being too sensitive and shutting the water off under normal conditions.
For the toilets, I'm thinking of getting the Universal TM812 (www.kullysupply.com/universal-tm812-stainless-steel-toilet-supply-line), because it has brass nuts at both ends (rather than the typical plastic nut at the toilet end). Any comments?
Thanks! /Rav
Just walk into any Lowes or Home Depot and buy what they have on the shelve.
I've been using them ever since they came out and never once had an issue.
I've also never once had a call back with an issue on the burst proof type.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Electric fence collar
Hoping this is the correct forum for this question...
My white GS rescue has been doing great playing in the yard with our other dog, both wearing an underground fence collar. Just lately though she has discovered that she can get through the fence. It appears now the collar is not making contact with her skin. I tried trimming her neck hair and using longer prongs on the collar but I'm still having a hard time making the collar make contact.
The collar has a feature when you take it off the charger that, for about 20 sec it will beep when you install it correctly. I can't get it to make contact without really tightening it up, to the point that it appears too tight (to me anyway). Just looking for some suggestions.

The analysis of chemical and electronic states in complex and nanostructured material systems requires electron spectroscopy to be carried out with nanometer lateral resolution, i.e. spectronanoscopy. This goal is achieved in NanoESCA instrument by combining a parallel imaging photoelectron emission microscope with an appropriate energy filter. This instrument has a particular emphasis on the spectroscopic aspects and enables laterally resolved photoelectron spectroscopy from the VUV up into the hard x-ray regime.
The design includes a non-magnetic, electrostatic PEEM lens and a double-pass hemispherical analyser. Rapid PEEM survey imaging (< 50 nm resolution) can be used to locate features, whilst its lateral resolution in imaging ESCA of 150 nm at the Synchrotron is simply unique.

A novel electrostatic PEEM microscope named NanoESCA (FOCUS GmbH/Omicron) with energy filter
Proposal Submission
We invite users and collaborators to discuss their proposals with the beamline local contacts well in advance before the submission deadline. This is crucial for a careful assessment of the experiment feasibility and may lead to improvements in the proposed experimental plan. In a restricted number of cases, when doubts arise about the suitability of your samples or the planned measurements are too close to the microscope resolution limit, it may be possible for you to arrange a test.
Call for proposals
The deadline for proposal submission for beamtime allocation from January 1st to June 30th, 2017 will be September 15th, 2016.
Beamline is open
From January 2012 NanoESCA beamline is opened to Elettra general users (20% of the total beamtime availablen Nanospectroscopy). All proposals requiring this instrument must be submitted on the Virtual Unified Office indicating NanoESCA as beamline.
Matteo Jugovac @ NanoESCA beamlineMatteo Jugovac has joined NanoESCA beamline on March 1, 2016. Matteo has studied physics at the University of Trieste, where he obtained a master degree in condensed matter physics.
The staff working at NanoESCA and Nanospectroscopy beamlines gives Matteo the warmest welcome for his new job.

Typical queries look like this: > //element(*, sophora-nt:story)[@sophora:creationDate > ...] > JackRabbit has its own RangeQuery implementation which is used when Lucene throws a TooManyBooleanClauses-exception (and in some other situations, too). This worked well in Jackrabbit 1.6. In newer versions a different Lucene library is used which never throws TooManyBooleanClauses exceptions. Instead, is has its own fall-back in situations where a BooleanQuery does not work. This fall-back with a MultiTermQueryWrapperFilter seams to us much slower than the fall-back implementation in JackRabbit (Does anybody know the reason?). It is the same situation in Jackrabbit 2.6.0 (with Lucene 3.6.0) > We patched org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.RangeQuery to never use org.apache.lucene.search.TermRangeQuery but always use the JackRabbit implementation. This leads to query executions as fast as in older Jackrabbit versions. > Do other people experience this problem?

Hi Dejan,
I have clarified earlier (in the workaround section) that this behavior is by design, and there isn't actually an issue. Please let me know if that resolves your issue.
Ali Badereddin
I have a table created on default [DATA] filegroup (SQL Server 2008 R2) If I script the table out using SSMS 2008 R2, it is scripted like this: CREATE TABLE [IN].[Message]( [MessageID] [int] NOT NULL, [MessageReference] [varchar](100) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [MessageID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [DATA] ) ON [DATA] When I import the database into VS 2012 with June SSDT, it is imported like this: CREATE TABLE [IN].[Message] ( [MessageID] INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1, 1) PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED, [MessageReference] VARCHAR (100) NOT NULL, ); Note that filegroup placement has not been imported. If a target database has PRIMARY as its default, the object will be create on the wrong filegroup. Also, for some reason, SSDT is treating table filegroup setting as an error if clustered index also has it. This setting is ignored, so it should maybe be a warning, not an error. More importantly, as SSMS scripting produces create table scripts with filegroup specified for both table and index, these scripts will be flagged as error by VS.
Please wait...

Curry the Conquerer
For people from many different cultures, comfort food comes in the form of curry—a saucy, gravy-like concoction usually eaten over rice or with a wrap. Savory curries can be found in culinary cultures from South and Southeast Asia to Japan and the Caribbean.
"Curry has many meanings, actually," says Colleen Taylor Sen, who wrote "Curry: A Global History." "I think the most basic meaning is that it's any dish with a gravy that uses Indian spices."
Sen analyzed a number of different curry powders and found that one of the only constants in each was the presence of the spice turmeric. She says a few decades ago curry was considered an unpopular term with South Asians and has only recently become a commonly used word.
Not all curries are spicy. Chili peppers were, after all, a New World food brought to India by British colonists.
"Chilies didn't reach India until the late 16th century," Culinary historian Linda Pelaccio (pictured at right) says. Pelaccio is the host of the radio show "A Taste of the Past" on the Heritage Radio Network.
When the British brought Indian indentured servants to their Caribbean colonies, Indians brought their food with them. As a result, Caribbean curries are similar to Indian ones. Curries are also popular in Japan, so much so that the dish can be purchased from many vending machines.
"[Curry] was actually introduced by the British in the port of Yokohama in the 1860s," says Sen.
She notes that the curry dish in Japan is good, but unsightly (looking something like a yellow-brown puddle), especially when compared to the elegantly presented food most often associated with Japanese cuisine.
Curry also plays a role in the history of South Africa. Bunny chows, which consist of a hollow loaf of bread filled with curry (check one out on the left), can be found throughout South Africa, and especially in the South Asian enclave of Durban.
"It was something that was developed under apartheid, where blacks weren't allowed to go into the restaurants," explains Sen. "The Indian restaurant owners would put this curry in this bread and then pass it out the back door. And now it's become almost a symbol of South Africa as a melting pot."
Try two of Sen's recipes for curry below. The first is for her easy-to-assemble "Thai Mussamen Beef Curry," and the second is for an elaborate "Classical Chicken Curry."
Thai Mussamun Beef Curry
- 1 pound [450 gm] stewing beef, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Mussamun curry paste (purchased)
- 2 medium potatoes, cut into one-inch cubes
- 1 onion, cut into four pieces
- 1 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1-2 tablespoons fish sauce, to taste
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1-5 chopped red chili peppers, to taste
- ½ cup roasted peanuts
Heat the oil in a heavy pot or wok and sauté the curry paste until it bubbles. Add all the other ingredients except the peanuts, stir well, bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour until the meat is tender. Sprinkle with the peanuts and serve with white rice.
A Classical Chicken Curry
(From "Culinary Jottings from Madras," 1878)
Cut a small chicken into pieces and dredge with a little flour. Make a cup of stock with the trimmings and bones, a sliced onion, carrot, pepper corns, celery, salt and sugar and another cup of coconut or almond milk.
In a stew pan, sauté six shallots or two small white onions cut into rings and a clove of finely minced garlic in two ounces of good quality tinned butter until yellow brown. Add a heaping tablespoon of the stock curry powder and one of the paste, or, if the latter is not available, two tablespoons of the powder. Cook for a minute or two, adding slowly a wineglassful of the coconut milk and then the broth. Simmer for a quarter of an hour to create a rich, thick, curry sauce. Keep the sauce warm while you prepare the chicken.
In a frying pan, fry a minced shallot in an ounce of butter or clarified beef suet for a couple of minutes, then lightly fry the chicken pieces. As soon as they are lightly colored, place them in the gravy in the stew pan, marinating for at least half an hour. Then slowly simmer the mixture over a low fire, adding stock or water if needed to cover the chicken.
During this period, the bay leaf, chutney, and sweet acid should be added. If the paste was not added previously, pounded almond and coconut are now added with a little spice and grated green ginger. The curry should be tasted and more acid or sweet added if needed. As soon as the pieces are tender, a coffee cupful of coconut milk should be added and stirred for three minutes. If a dry curry is needed, the curry is simmered longer without the lid, but continually stirred so that the meat doesn't stick on the bottom.
Remove the seeds and juice from two or three tomatoes, chop them with a quarter of their bulk of white onion, and season the mixture with salt, two finely chopped green chilies, a bit of chopped celery, a pinch of black pepper, and a tea spoon of vinegar (preferably anchovy vinegar if available).

: interesting thread
ive just read the entire 5 pages of theis thread and its very interesting. i can relate on so many levels. im often asked if i have a jherri curl/texturizer and it pisses me off b/c i take such good care of my hair, its a slap in the face to my effort. about 3 months ago while at the gym, a lady came up to me and asked what kind of curl i had, i told her i was natural. she gave me the yeah right look... as if i have a reason to lie to her. my uncle, a trainer at the gym, saw that i was getting annoyed by this woman, so he started a spanish (speaking) conversation w me to get her away. after he left, she comes back to me and says, "oh i see why your hair like that, you mixed!" (im black/puerto rican..hardly mixed) when i was black it was a curl, now that im spanish, its natural. what a shame.
as far as nappturality goes, i love it there. i used to get angry and accuse alot of women there of being curly haters, but then i realized where they were comming from. think of it like this, if you're at a black pride rally and start talking about how happy you are to have a light complexion, or ways to make your dark skin light, its gonna anger some of the darker attendees b/c their skin is the most vilified and that only adds to the division. lighter blacks do exist, and have full right to be proud...but the theme is black pride, so theres no room for dividing skintones, we're all black. maybe thats not the best example but im sleepy
that site got me through my first year natural. you just have to understand the rules over there, both actual and underlying (if you catch my drift). sometimes the ladies can be a little
when it comes to curly hair, but at the end of the day, its the best informational on black natural hair.
all in all, its a shame curly hair cant be natural. if you're black at least.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The University of Miami track and field teams have been hard at work and begin the indoor season at Kentucky this weekend. Each week, HurricaneSports.com has introduced you to members of the cross country and track and field programs.
Be sure to follow UM track and field on Twitter (@MiamiTrack) for the latest news on the squad.
Continuing on the "Going the Distance" series, find out about sophomore middle distance runner Taneisha Cordell...
Hometown: Columbus, Ohio
High School: New Albany
Major: Broadcast Journalism/Public Relations
Why did you decide to attend the University of Miami?
I chose the University of Miami because it was the one school that fit me best, both academically and athletically.
What is the best aspect of being part of Miami's track teams?
The fact that the team is small gives everyone the opportunity to make an immediate impact. Everyone's talents and strengths are showcased throughout the season, which I love because you don't see that at a lot of other schools. It also guarantees a lot of attention and criticism from the coaches on and off of the track.
You have accomplished quite a bit while at Miami. What do you feel is your biggest accomplishment throughout your collegiate career?
My biggest accomplishment would be me strengthening my mentality when it comes to getting through workouts and competing. I have grown a lot in that aspect, which I am very excited about.
Who has had the biggest influence on your career?
My mom and AAU coach, Robert Talley. Without these two I would have never made it to where I am now. My mom was the one who introduced me to the sport (I hated at first), and continues to push me to do my very best no matter what. She's my biggest fan and motivator. Coach Talley was the one who saw my potential, brought out my confidence and trained me to be great at a very young age.
What are some of your goals for the season?
My goals for this upcoming season are to compete with confidence, continue to grow mentally and to PR of course.
Have you ever played any other sports?
Basketball was the first sport I every played. I played from elementary to my freshman year of high school. I was also a cheerleader when I was little.
What do you feel was the biggest challenge you came across in since your arrival?
Adjusting to training at the collegiate level was the most difficult and a little frustrating. My body went through so many changes my first year due to weights, my diet, etc., which was weird once I started running. It took a lot of getting used to.
What is/are the biggest difference(s) between high school and competing at the collegiate level?
Competing at the collegiate is a job/business! It's more serious and demanding compared to high school. Still fun, but you develop a more mature mindset and respect for the sport.
What did you do, both individually and as a team, to prepare right before a meet?
I pray a thousand times before and during a meet. I also like to listen to music to get focused and drown out everything around me. As a team, we go through our warm-up routine, motivate each other and keep each other from have passing out due to nerves.
What is your favorite workout?
WALKING...just kidding. I like ladder workouts. Working down the ladder. (800,600,400,200,100, for example.)
What do you do away from running and studying to relax?
When I am not running or studying I am most likely singing, blasting music or blogging.
Three words to describe you?
Goofy, spontaneous, outspoken.

Do any of you guys have any experience with a Super I .... I just bought one and have NO experience with this type baler. I found a 1999 with only 1000 bales thru it. The only other Baler I have used was a Krone 230. The Krone was a good baler and had a mini stop system where you barely had to stop to kick out a bale.. Will the Vermeer function in a similar way or.... ????. I do not have a book yet, but have all that stuff ordered from Vermeer. The Vermeer does not have net wrap, but appears to make a tighter bale hopefully will shed water better. Any opinions. ???
Never Had the 504 Super I baler so not overly familiar with that perticular baler,A few nieghbors had them and were very dependible balers.Sorry I can't help you out more.You can order a operators manual by going to Vermeers website for free.They send out a parts book with new balers also.I would try to get one of them also.I don't think the 504 had netwrap option until the XL model.
Please put general location in profile.

Has it been stored under a roof?
I had heard that you have to disengage the PTO to dump. The baler i purchased has only made 1000 bales and in a late 1999
With a 1000 rolls it is just getting broken it.
The bearings may need a good going over if it has not been used in a while.

I have had a 504 Super I for 15 years. Very dependable.
I disengage the PTO prior to ejecting the bale.

Aid for Trade
Aid for Trade (AfT) is assistance provided to support partner countries' efforts to develop and expand their trade as leverage for growth and poverty reduction.
Aid for Trade in a nutshell
Aid for Trade is part of Official Development Aid (ODA) related to improving countries' capacity to trade and is categorised according to the following six areas:
- trade policy and regulation
- trade development
- trade-related infrastructure
- building productive capacity
- trade-related adjustment, and
- other trade-related needs.
This can include support for building new transport, energy or telecommunications infrastructure, investments in agriculture, fisheries and services, as well as assistance in managing any balance of payments shortfalls due to changes in the world trading environment.
Categories 1, 2 and 6 correspond to core trade issues and are designated as Trade-Related Assistance.The other three categories include capacity building and infrastructure. Together, they are referred to as 'the wider Aid for Trade agenda', designed to benefit trade in a broader sense.
Aid for Trade – and more particularly Trade-Related Assistance – can help partner countries take advantage of opportunities created by unilateral, bilateral or multilateral trade openings and hence it is an important tool to facilitate trade reforms or adjustments.
Why Aid for Trade is relevant
Many developing countries face internal constraints such as a lack of productive capacity, poor infrastructure, poor trade diversification, inefficient customs procedures, excessive red tape and difficulties to meet technical standards in high value export markets. This has a negative impact on their ability to trade and on the competitiveness of their exports.
Aid for Trade – and more particularly Trade-Related Assistance – can help partner countries take advantage of opportunities created by unilateral, bilateral or multilateral trade openings and hence it is an important tool to facilitate trade reforms, improve the business environment, support regional integration and provide opportunities to integrate into global value chains. It is an important part of a long-term strategy for global poverty reduction, alongside debt relief and general development aid.
The contribution of trade for achieving inclusive growth and sustainable development is also emphasised in the EU development policy, notably the Communication on "Increasing the Impact of EU Development Policy: an Agenda for Change" issued in October 2011.
EU trade policy and Aid for Trade
The EU and its Member States are collectively the world's leading providers of Aid for Trade. The European Commission produces an annual monitoring report on EU Aid for Trade The 2015 edition, reporting on figures from 2013, notably highlighted that:
- With a total of EUR 11.7bn in 2013 the EU consolidate consecutive record amounts after EUR 11.5bn in 2012. The EU and its Member States therefore remained by a large margin the most significant Aid for Trade (AfT) donor in the world.
- After a drop of 17% in 2012, EU and Member State Trade Related Assistance (TRA) commitments recovered in 2013, with an increase of 13%, to reach EUR 2.9bn, the second all-time highest amount. This level exceeds by a large margin the EUR 2bn target adopted in the 2007 joint EU Aid for Trade Strategy.
- Africa received again the largest share of grants in 2013, with 55% of EU Collective grants. After a long period of decline in relative terms, Aid for Trade commitments to Least Developed Countries increased notably by over 40% in 2013, reaching EUR 2.6bn or 24% of the total in 2013 (to be compared to EUR 1.8bn in 2012 or 17% of the total).
Financing for Aid for Trade
Aid for Trade is part of overall EU Official Development Assistance so aid for different countries is financed through different instruments:
- the European Development Fund for African, Caribbean and Pacific countries
- the Development Cooperation Instrument or its successor, the European Neighbourhood Instrument for other developing countries
- the Instrument for Pre-Accession where it covers developing countries (e.g. Turkey which is the biggest receiver of EU Aid for Trade)
The EU and its Member States have a Joint Strategy on Aid for Trade from 2007 which includes the following key goals:
- Implement the commitment by EU Member States and the European Commission to collectively spend €2 billion annually on Trade-Related Assistance by 2010. This was exceeded already in 2008 and 2009.
- Enhance the pro-poor focus and the quality of EU Aid for Trade.
- Build upon, foster and support regional integration processes through Aid for Trade, including within African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries.
- Increase EU-wide and Member States' capacity in line with the globally agreed aid effectiveness principles.
- Support effective Aid for Trade monitoring and reporting.
Moreover, the EU and other donors agreed, in the context of the G20 to maintain, beyond 2011, the wider Aid for Trade spending at levels that reflect at least the average of the years 2006-2008 and to work with development banks to ensure the availability of trade finance to low-income countries.
Aid for Trade and WTO
The importance devoted to Aid for Trade stems from the Aid for Trade Initiative launched at the December 2005 WTO Ministerial Conference in Hong Kong as a complement to the Doha Development Agenda.
The Aid for Trade Initiative did not aim to create a new global development fund for trade, but to work on the basis of existing development strategies with the aim of ensuring that more resources are devoted to trade.
Keeping Aid for Trade on the political agenda is essential to mobilise additional, predictable, sustainable and effective financing for trade, thus contributing to inclusive growth and sustainable development.
The recent WTO Ministerial Conference (MC9) in Bali in December 2013 produced a ministerial decision which reiterated the need for Aid for Trade and continued the mandate to pursue actions, but without making any specific commitments.

dynamic optimal control models
Is anyone have been working on exercises of dynamic optimal control models by
using Mathematica? Does Mathematica provide such kind of capabilities or
functions to solve a complicated dynamic optimal control models with various
boundary conditions, constraints on control and state variables, and implementing switching functions. I, theoretically, have built a dynamic control model, but have not decided which software package to use to solve the model. HiQ, a pc
version package is one, which holds a very limited functions. Apredic, is another option. GAMS may solve a difference dynamic model. GAMS, after I played it well, turned out that it is not a good package to solve the model. Since I am vewer
to the Mathematica world, I hope someone may help me out. The questions I like to ask are:
1.Can Mathematica solve a dynamic control model by utilizing embedded functions
or algriothms?
2. If yes, How to incorporate various boundary conditions, and switching functions in the Mathematic language?
3. Have someone tried to use Mathematica to solve a dynamic control model?
Appreciate you for your attention. Hope that we can share more in future.

Cooke: Is the 2016 Election AM Radio's Last? In a piece teasing some of the content media consultant Holland Cooke will deliver during his presentation at next week's TALKERS 2016: Bridging the Generations conference at Hofstra University, he writes today questioning whether this year's election will be the last presidential race covered with intensity by AM radio-based talk stations. Cooke notes that recent research shows people between the ages of 18-34 – Millennials – are less familiar with AM radio than their elders and ownership of a non-car radio among that demographic is about 33%.

Analysis: NAB Show – Day 1. Radio consultant Holland Cooke is reporting from the 2016 NAB Show for TALKERS magazine/RadioInfo. From day one of the broadcasting mega-confab in Las Vegas, Cooke reports on the radio-centric panels he attended. NAB CEO Gordon Smith declared in his opening keynote, "No other media industry is as dedicated to supporting our local communities – not Google, not Apple, not Pandora, not cable or satellite." That sentiment ran through a number of panels during which operators told attendees that in radio's current era, stations have to be marketing experts for their clients and information and entertainment experts for their local communities. For more about how operators are encouraging creativity in sales and programming, read Holland Cooke's report here.

John Ziegler Discusses the State of His Syndicated Show ('John & Leah') and the Radio Industry in Candid TALKERS Audio Interview. TALKERS magazine managing editor Mike Kinosian recently spoke with Envision Networks-syndicated talk personality John Ziegler about the progress his Sunday evening show is making a year into its national distribution effort that resulted in a major personality profile posted in TALKERS on March 8. The three-hour show that features co-host Leah Brandon (who also serves as WERC, Birmingham morning news anchor) is currently heard on 22 affiliate stations – 15 of which are in the top 28 markets. Ziegler has an impressive set of talk radio credentials that include stints at WHAS, Louisville and KFI, Los Angeles among others. He also has a colorful history in the business that includes its share of controversial, high-profile episodes. In a brand new audio conversation with TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison conducted yesterday (4/18), Ziegler says having a wife, child and a female co-host serve to keep him more cautious and mature when it comes to recklessness and stepping over the line – but that hasn't dampened his edginess and reputation for delivering strong opinions. Ziegler and Brandon are included in the 2016 edition of the TALKERS "Heavy Hundred" and Ziegler will be a participant in the "Talk Rumble" at the forthcoming TALKERS 2016: Bridging the Generations convention set for Friday, May 20 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY.

In Memoriam: Brent Seltzer. Just over four weeks from now (5/20), the annual TALKERS convention will take place on the campus of Hofstra University. There will be one sadly missing element there, however, following the passing yesterday afternoon (4/18) of our colleague Brent Seltzer (right). The 68-year-old golden-voiced on-air talent/writer/voice over artist died in his sleep at a Los Angeles-area long-term care facility. Always debonair and engaging, Seltzer is survived by his wife, Meg McDonald (left). For the last several years, Seltzer and McDonald served as "official greeters" at the TALKERS New York City and Los Angeles confabs and last year they served as emcees of the NY event. Seltzer succumbed to complications following major surgery. TALKERS founder/publisher Michael Harrison states, "We all mourn the loss of a great broadcaster, wonderful friend, and outstanding human being." McDonald encourages a celebration of her late husband's life, stating, "We hope you will raise a glass and toast Brent Seltzer." Instead of a formal funeral service, Seltzer will be cremated and buried at sea. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that those so inclined make a donation to their favorite animal shelter or animal charity. Seltzer had a legendary career in radio dating back to the late 1960s that included pioneering work in the field of FM rock radio news at such outlets as KGB, San Diego and KMET, Los Angeles among others. His long-running podcast, "Still at Large with Brent Seltzer" had a significant national following early in the podcasting movement and, in recent years, he co-hosted a daily GCN nationally-syndicated husband/wife "chat" program, "The Brent & Meg Show" with McDonald. Those interested in contacting Meg McDonald can do so via email at email@example.com. Approximately two years ago, TALKERS managing editor Mike Kinosian profiled both Brent and Meg.

Geraldo Exit from WABC, New York Appears Official. There's been no announcement from Cumulus Media and we don't really expect one. All of the information on this story comes from Geraldo Rivera himself. As TALKERS reported last Thursday, Rivera first said on his Facebook page that he was informed by new Cumulus CEO Mary Berner and Cumulus NYC market manager Chad Lopez that the company will not be honoring "the handshake deal I made with ousted company chief John Dickey, an agreement to extend my current contract for a year. The decision to renege on our deal on the eve of Thanksgiving is especially upsetting coming in the wake of my emotionally charged and highly rated coverage of the Paris massacre and frantic efforts by authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice. Last year, The Village Voice named me the '2014 Best AM Radio Host in NYC', writing in part, 'Geraldo Rivera actually has something to say. The guy understands the issues of the day and has enough confidence in his opinions to call bullshit on blowhards,' which I'm doing here." Since then, Geraldo added to his post, writing that he intends to make this difficult for the company. "That slight will not go unanswered. Trust me on this; it is not about the money. I have enough and give away to various charities more than most. But because of their unforgivable disrespect I will fight them and they will end up costing their battered company far more in damages than they expect to save in my salary." Geraldo goes on to write about the value of his show to the New York audience. "The pity is this misguided management has deprived my loyal New York audience a program that they have followed and engaged with during a turbulent time of crucial interest…" Whether Geraldo can prevail in court remains to be seen, but of course it's within Cumulus' right to fire or hire talent as the company sees fit.
David Boze Exits Bonneville's KTTH, Seattle. Saying that he's leaving the station to pursue "ventures that can only be done in presidential years," morning drive personality David Boze leaves Bonneville International's KTTH, Seattle after 13 years with the station. He says, "I leave the station I helped found in the hands of a great company and good people. I am incredibly grateful for the loyalty and kindness of my listeners. It is a wonderful thing to meet them and realize we are already friends thanks to the power of radio. I'm also exceptionally grateful for my show sponsors, who have invested in my show year after year. Bonneville has been a great company to work for, and I will miss the people who have become such a meaningful, daily part of my life." The company has not named a permanent replacement for Boze.
Lee Hammer Adds KGO and KSFO OM Duties. Already serving as operations manager and PD for sports talk outlets KNBR and KTCT, Lee Hammer is promoted from interim ops manager for sister talk stations KGO and KSFO to permanent OM for the pair. Cumulus San Francisco VP and market manager Justin Wittmayer says, "Lee has been instrumental in leading KGO and KSFO over the past year while continuing to deliver record breaking ratings for KNBR. We are confident that with his considerable expertise in the talk format, he will take our news/talk stations to new heights."
Odds & Sods. Former longtime KVI, Seattle talk personality Kirby Wilbur is soon to be back with the iconic conservative talker. It's not known at this point what daypart Wilbur will be hosting. He was part of the original lineup of KVI as a conservative news/talk station. It's for this period in history that it's considered by many to be the first talk station to be purposely programmed as an all-conservative talk outlet…..Nationally syndicated talk host Kevin Jackson announces he is leaving USA Radio Networks and will self-syndicate his daily 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm talk show.
Round Three of November PPM Data Released. The third of four rounds of November 2015 PPM data from Nielsen Audio has been released for 12 markets including: Portland, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Sacramento, San Antonio, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Kansas City, Orlando, and Columbus. The survey period was October 8 – November 4. TALKERS magazine's sister publication RadioInfo has all of the numbers from subscribing stations here. In addition, managing editor Mike Kinosian presents his "Twelve Takeaways" from this batch of ratings on the main page at RadioInfo.com here.
Some Talk Radio Pros Take Issue with Colorado Governor's Placing Blame for Shooting on Media and Campaign Rhetoric. Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, in addressing the deadly shooting at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs over the weekend, hinted that talk show hosts and bloggers are in some way to blame for the deaths of the three victims and the nine people wounded. The governor said, in part, "Certainly it's a form of terrorism, and maybe in some way it's a function of the inflammatory rhetoric we see on so many issues now, there are bloggers and talk shows where they really focus on trying to get people to that point of boiling over. Just intense anger. Maybe it's time to look at how do we tone down that rhetoric. No one is going to try to reduce free speech in this country but that rhetoric — if people are in some way emotionally unstable or psychologically unbalanced – that intensity of rhetoric sometimes seems to pull a trigger in their brain that they lose contact with what reality is." Salem Radio Network VP of news & talk programming Tom Tradup tells TALKERS magazine, "Public officials who fail in their primary responsibility to protect the lives and property of the men and women who elect them should not use the free and open exchange of ideas and opinions on talk radio to scapegoat their own inadequacies."
Legendary News and Talk Personality Brent Seltzer Recovering from Brain Tumor Surgery. Veteran radio personality Brent Seltzer, known most recently for his work on the nationally syndicated (GCN) "Brent & Meg Show" that he co-hosted with his wife Meg McDonald, is recovering from major surgery that took place in September at St. Joseph's Medical Center in Burbank to remove a cancerous, golf ball-sized Glioblastoma Tumor Grade 4 from the front-left section of his brain. This is the part of the brain that controls memory and language. Seltzer's colorful career dates back to the golden days of FM rock radio when he was a pioneer in the development of "rock 'n' roll radio style news" at such outlets as KGB, San Diego and KMET, Los Angeles among others. He has also achieved considerable critical praise for his modern-era, short-form and podcast series, "Still at Large." Attendees at TALKERS conferences over the past four years will remember Brent & Meg as the events' charismatic official greeters. This past June, they served as emcees of Talkers 2015. Seltzer (pictured here mugging for the camera after his surgery) tells TALKERS, "I have apparently been experiencing symptoms since September 2014 but it wasn't until 11:15 am PT on Thursday, September 24, 2015 that my symptoms resulted in a seizure while sitting at my computer. I crashed like a small bird out of a big tree. If our 'Brent & Meg' radio show had not been on hiatus by that point, I would have had my seizure on the air. In the months prior to the seizure, I was apparently doing some things without a clear memory. My typing began to deteriorate and my quick recall for names, places and events often failed me. I ignored symptoms that were bothersome but seemed innocuous and unrelated at the time. But in truth, they were actually symptoms of a much bigger problem." Seltzer, who is now recovering at home while undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy, adds, "I share these things to let everyone know that I have begun what we hope will be a stunning return. My recovery is an uphill battle which I'm very eager to face as I prepare for alerting everyone as to what has happened and what will come next and as much pain and discomfort I am in… I'm Popeye and nothing is gonna get me down!"

Ralph Barbieri Sues KNBR, San Francisco. Longtime San Francisco sports talk host Ralph Barbieri is suing Cumulus Media's sports talk outlet KNBR claiming the station fired him in April based on his age and disabilities. Barbieri's attorney tells the San Francisco Chronicle station officials told Barbieri he was being let go for coming to work late and not preparing. Barbieri had co-hosted the PM drive show with Tom Tolbert since 1996 as "The Razor and Mr. T" and attorney Angela Alioto says, "If you look at the ratings, Mr. Barbieri and Mr. Tolbert were number one or two until the day he was terminated. The fact is, before they knew he was sick, those excuses didn't exist – and they renewed his contract." In late 2011, Barbieri announced he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and the station renewed his contract a month later. Barbieri, who is seeking $10 million in damages, went on crosstown sports talk outlet KGMZ-FM to explain the suit and said Cumulus market manager Bill Bungeroth and OM Lee Hammer expressed to him he sounded tired on the air and chastised him for having to use the restroom often because of his medications. He says he was also criticized for being late because of medical appointments. The Chronicle reports Cumulus Media has not responded to requests for comment.
Glenn Beck Merges GBTV Under "The Blaze" Banner. Premiere Networks nationally syndicated talk radio star Glenn Beck has been operating two of his pioneering digital initiatives – The Blaze website and internet video station GBTV – under separate names. Now, Beck is moving GBTV and the new Marketplace by Markdown, under The Blaze umbrella. He states in an interview with CNN, "I didn't like the name GBTV from the very beginning for a couple of reasons; one, it's a little egocentric, and two, it's television, which doesn't describe necessarily what we do." So Beck is merging the three properties in to what he calls "a world-class multimedia network" – The Blaze. Asked about Beck's move by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison states, "There are cases in which a personal name becomes a platform brand –such as Trump, Forbes and Ford – and they worked out well. But NBC wasn't named Sarnoff, CBS wasn't named Paley and Playboy wasn't named Hefner. I think Beck is refining his approach to continuing his successful journey as a 21st century media pioneer."
Dave Ramsey Jumps to News/Talk KRLD, Dallas. Nationally syndicated financial talk sensation Dave Ramsey is now heard on CBS Radio's news/talk KRLD, Dallas from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm nightly.

His wisdom, knowledge and passion have garnered him many fans in North Texas and we're proud to be the new home for his growing and successful program."

Clear Channel Media and Entertainment Promotes Darren Davis to EVP of National Programming Platforms.

CC states Davis "will work closely with Tom Poleman (president of national programming platforms) to oversee all aspects of the division and the ongoing development and execution of Clear Channel's national advertising and programming integrations. He will continue to manage the Programming Operations Center; the Brand Management in-house format team; and the company's highly effective Premium Choice network."

JT broadcasts his nightly FSRN program from studios in Las Vegas.

Local Combo Serves Florida Panhandle Market During Flood Emergency. Program director Paul Stadden tells TALKERS magazine ADX Communications' news/talk WNRP, Pensacola and sister country FM were on the scene keeping local residents informed when 13 inches of rain fell on Escambia County last weekend causing widespread flooding and some $150 million in damage.

If you can get past its thick layer of syrup and molasses, Secondhand Lions reveals itself as a thoroughly decent family film that anyone can enjoy. It gets a little sappy sometimes, but there''s something to be said for a movie in which Michael Caine and Robert Duvall play eccentric old brothers who take the easy approach to fishing: instead of a peaceful rod and reel, they use 12-gauge shotguns. When 14-year-old Walter (Haley Joel Osment, teetering on puberty) spends an eventful summer with his great-uncles on their vast Texas farmland (he''s been dumped there by his delinquent mom, played by Kyra Sedgwick), he soon discovers they''ve lived lives full of adventure, excitement, passion, and mystery. Either that or they''re old-time bank robbers with a long criminal record, and writer-director Tim McCanlies (who invested similar warmth into The Iron Giant) does a nice job of concealing the truth until the very end. Full of enriching lessons and homespun humor, Secondhand Lions has more substance than most family films. If you enjoyed Holes, you''ll probably enjoy this movie, too. --Jeff Shannon
This comedic and touching family film follows the adventures of a shy young boy (Haley Joel Osment) who is sent to spend the summer with his eccentric uncles (Michael Caine, Robert Duvall). At first shocked by his uncles'' unconventional behavior that includes ordering African lions through the mail, the boy soon becomes enthralled with unraveling the mystery that has followed the uncles for years. Hearing tales of their exotic adventures involving kidnapped princesses, Arabian sheiks and lost treasure, not only brings him closer to his uncles but also teaches him what it means to believe in something... whether it''s true or not.

Coffee, Newspaper, Linux and FOSS News
As the sun makes its way over the Santa Cruz Mountains on a Tuesday morning — don't forget the Farmers Market and the Organic Software table in Felton, folks! — the daily ritual of dragging myself into a new day begins.
Coffee. A look at the news around the world. Then the important stuff: LXer.com for the news of all things Linux/FOSS.
[Incidentally, our friends at Google need to look at something, and I'll bring it to their attention later. Maybe I'll drop a line to WordPress, too. It seems that no matter how I tag my blog, the only way I can get the Alerts to pick up Larry the Free Software Guy for the benefit of those searching for "Linux" is to put "Linux" in the title. Selfish, I know, but maybe you should get used to seeing Linux in the title of upcoming blogs.]
Meanwhile, back at the blog: Here are a few things that caught my eye this morning:
Antiquated? Phoronix publishes an article entitles "How an Old Pentium 4 System Runs with Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10" and their description of "old" is, "This antiquated system has an Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, an 80GB IDE hard drive, and an ATI Radeon 9200PRO AGP graphics card." Antiquated? Are you kidding me? That's about as antiquated as a 2006 BMW. C'mon, Phoronix — either do better editing or give us something really antiquated, like a Pentium with Roman numerals.
Ground-floor opportunity, unlimited potential: The VAR Guy writes about the health care track at OSCON next week in Portland. "The health care sector is set for a technology-driven transformation as the federal government pushes adoption of electronic health records and pursues national health information exchange. Hardly surprising, the Open Source Convention (OSCON) has a health care track that will focus on open EHR/EMR software and the government's standards-based Nationwide Health Information Network (NHIN) among other topics. What's in it for VARs? Here are some clues." And the clues follow. But as those who know me know how I can drone on about this, I think health care software is a huge opportunity for FOSS developers, not to mention making open source inroads in an industry that needs to be in the public domain in the first place, and it's nice to hear it from someone else.
Oh, and it's not dead yet: While this wasn't in the news today, I've finally gotten over the eye-rolling aspect of, yet again, SCO not fully grasping basic legal tenets in losing yet another case and now plan to appeal Judge Ted Stevens' ruling upholding a jury verdict made after oral hearings that Novell had retained the copyright to Unix when it sold its Unix business to SCO. According to this brief item on H online, it's not over yet and the partners at Boies Schiller & Flexner LLP have taken Stick A to beat Dead Horse B.
Felton Farmers Market, 2-6:30 p.m., St. John's Church parking lot, about 3/4 mile south of the traffic light on Highway 9 (all the directions you need in Felton). And don't forget — Major League Baseball All-Star Game is tonight. Go National League.

Organic Linux at the Farmers Market
Among the strawberries, nectarines, kettle corn and other fresh fruits and vegetables — and since when is kettle corn NOT a fresh vegetable? — the Felton Linux Users Group has set up a table offering Organic Software each Tuesday afternoon at the Felton Farmers Market; Linux, GNU/Linux and other Free/Open Source Software programs and information about FOSS, all with no artificial colors or preservatives, and software that's healthy for the well-being of your computer.
In the first installment of this endeavor last Tuesday, we introduced Fedora, Ubuntu and OpenSUSE to a number of people who ranged from unenlightened to Linux-curious to the most experienced. We also had on hand the OpenCD from last year's Software Freedom Day, which has Windows versions of FOSS programs on it.
Something significant occurred during the first tabling event last week: Most everyone curious enough to stop at the table knew what Linux is (one woman, an engineer for Google just over the hill in Mountain View, said that she had better know what it is. "Google . . . interesting name. What do they do?" I asked in mock curiosity). Those who were just curious — "How can software be organic?" — went away with a little more knowledge, at the very least, and some with a live CD to try out at home.
This was done a couple of times in 2008 and in 2009; in 2008 it was a lead-up to Lindependence 2008 that year in July. It seems the seeds sown in Lindependence 2008 are beginning to bear fruit.
Special thanks go to Bob Lewis for the table and for the time he spent; Frank Turner for the excellent signs, the Linux Journals and time he put in at the table; and Karsten Wade, who brought a significant amount of OpenSource.com items to help explain what it is we're all about.
If you're in Felton on Tuesday, come over to the Farmers Market at St. John's Church, which is about a mile south of the light on Highway 9 (which is all the directions you need in Felton).

The d´Azevedo Collection
Warren d´Azevedo is an ethnographer of both the Washoe and the Gola of Liberia. His research interests in both the Great Basin and Africa date back to the 1950s.
An emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of Nevada, Reno, he taught from 1964 to 1988. He is the author of numerous publications, including Straight with the Medicine: Narratives of Washoe Followers of the Tipi Way, and editor of Great Basin, which is Volume 11 in the Smithsonian Institution's encyclopedic Handbook of North American Indians. This 850-page work took 14 years to complete. Beverly and Steven Crum and William Jacobsen were consultants and contributors.
Professor d´Azevedo is equally well known in the field of African Studies, where he is acknowledged as a pioneer in the field of African arts. His seminal work in the 1960s on the place of the artist in society has influenced scholars in anthropology, art history, and museology for the past 45 years. Though it may seem commonplace now, at the time it was revolutionary to shift the focus away from a study of an object to a more inclusive study of a dynamic artistic process, one in which the creative individual is firmly embedded in his society.
Warren d´Azevedo´s scholarly interests have never been divorced from his action in the world. Here in Nevada, he founded the Anthropology Department at University of Nevada, and was also instrumental in creating the Black Students Organization. He has been an advocate of Native American religious freedom, and coordinated field schools for graduate students that were funded by the National Science Foundation. Nationally, he helped create the Smithsonian Institution's collection of African art, and internationally, he has been a human rights observer of elections in Liberia following the protracted civil war, and an important friend to Liberians forced into exile.
He studied with a number of prominent anthropologists at the University of California at Berkeley and Northwestern University, where he was awarded his Ph.D. These include Paul Radin and Melville Herskovits, both of whom had a profound influence on his work. He, in turn, had a profound influence on many younger scholars. At the time of his retirement from active teaching, he was honored by the Institute for Advanced Study at Indiana University for his pioneering achievements, by the Liberian Studies Association with a Lifetime Achievement Award, and by the African Studies Association with a Leadership Award.
