FAQs for Orocovis, Puerto Rico - Cities Map
Background: As a general rule, "property within a city's limit is subject to city taxation and city regulation, and expects city services [provided by the city government]. Areas outside any city's limit are considered to be unincorporated, and in most U.S. states they are by default regulated and taxed by the county. In others, areas outside a city's limit fall within another type of local government, such as the civil township (a division of a county)." More details here.
Why was this tool created? You can only view ONE city's boundaries at a time on Google Maps, whereas this tool incorporates a Google Maps municipal boundaries overlay so you can see a map with ALL city limits anywhere in the United States.

Other Notes
- The Search places box uses a standard Google Maps geocoding engine, therefore you can type street addresses, road names, points of interest, and GPS coordinates (see * above) to see what city that location is part of
- Many of the map layers from which this information is extracted are very large, so it may take several seconds for all of the map layers to finish drawing
- Because the map layers are large, boundaries will not be shown if you are zoomed out too far
- Note that typing an address will zoom in the map very close, whereas typing a city or county by itself will show you a map with a wider view
- Disclaimer: While the number of decimals in the latitude and longitude displayed for the map marker may imply a positional accuracy of within a few feet, note that Google Maps and the source data may not be that accurate. Accordingly, this tool should not be used for legal nor surveying purposes or anything beyond entertainment value.

This past Sunday, I run into Brent Delman (TheCheeseGuy.com) at a kosher foodie bloggers meetup, having met him before, having interviewed him on my radio show and having him sponsor our Shavuos contest for this year, it was natural we would get into a conversation. Of course, it centered on… you guessed it… cheese! We spoke about his latest cholov Yisroel offerings: Scamorza, Aged Havarti and Bastardo del Grappa.
The Scamorza is a new product and the one I had wasn't even been labeled yet, it also did not make it to the photo above, because (I shamefacedly confess!) it did not last long enough for me to remember to take the picture for this post. It was originally made only from buffalo milk, though today it's made from from whole cow's milk (sometimes mixed with small amounts of sheep or goat's milk). It's basically a slightly salty type of mozarella, though smoked (in a smoker with cherry wood chips), unlike other smoked cheeses the smoke is not overwhelming. Rather, it's balanced perfectly with the natural flavors. Creamy and with a somewhat nutty taste.
Aged Havarti (pictured above) is a cow's milk cheese with a supple, elastic texture, with a sharp, intense tangy flavor tempered with creamy butter notes.
Bastardo del Grappa (also pictured above), used to be made with sheep, goat and cow milk mixed together, hence the name "Bastardo." Today, it is produced by mixing cow's milk from the previous evening and letting it settle during the night, with the milk from the morning. It's got a strong flavor, with sweet notes and is slightly aromatic.
My favorite is the Scamorza and I can't wait until I find it in a store near me, meanwhile, I'm more than satisfied with the other two pictured above.

Nephew of Illinois mayor suspected of killing five, man later killed in police shootout
MANCHESTER, Ill. – Authorities in central Illinois have yet to identify the five people who are believed to have been shot to death in their home by a man who was later gunned down by police.
The nephew of Manchester's mayor shot to death two women, two boys and a man before leading police on a chase that ended in an exchange of gunfire that left him dead, authorities said Wednesday.
Illinois State Police said they believe Rick O. Smith, 43, entered the home through the back door and shot the victims at close range with a shotgun. Two people were found in a bedroom, two in a second bedroom and the man in the hallway. A sixth victim, a 6-year-old girl, was injured and taken to a Springfield hospital.
"The offender took the 6-year-old out of the residence and put her in the hands of a neighbor," State Police Lt. Col. Todd Kilby said.
Officials have not revealed a motive for the killings. Police said the victims are related. The Scott County coroner's office says the identities of the victims will be released after autopsies are performed early Thursday.
Authorities believe Smith and the victims were acquainted, but they didn't provide details of the relationships.
A bystander called police and told them that Smith fled the home in a white sedan. A car chase ensued, leading authorities to the nearby town of Winchester, where Smith and officers exchanged gunfire. Officers shot Smith, and he later died at a hospital.
Police said they found a rifle, shotgun and large hunting knife in Smith's car.
Scott County State's Attorney Michael Hill said Smith, of rural Morgan County, had previous convictions for reckless homicide, drugs and bad checks.
Manchester Mayor Ronald Drake confirmed that Smith was his nephew, saying he hadn't spoken to Smith in two years but that he believed his nephew was unemployed. Drake said the last time Smith contacted him was to borrow tools.
In Manchester, yellow police tape surrounded the small one-story brick home where the victims were found. Manchester is a village of about 300 residents located about 50 miles west of Springfield.
"It's a close-knit community," Drake said. "Everybody talks to everybody. ... We enjoy everything that goes on (in) town. This is just a tragedy for (the) whole town."
The last homicide in Scott County was 20 years ago, in 1993.
Manchester resident Julie Hardwick, 48, said she lives in the same county housing authority complex as the victims. She said authorities told her she couldn't return to her home yet because of the investigation.
"The kids were really nice," Hardwick said of the family. "You couldn't ask for better kids."
The Rev. Robin Lyons of Manchester United Methodist Church, one of two churches in the community said, "this shows tragedy can happen anywhere."
Two area school superintendents said they received calls from county sheriffs before 6 a.m. informing them that five people had been shot to death at a house in Manchester and that a suspect was at large.
Superintendent David Roberts of the Winchester School District and Les Stevens of the North Greene Unit District No. 3 both said they immediately canceled classes when they were told of the shootings and that other school districts did the same.
Roberts said the wounded girl is a student at Winchester Grade School and her teacher was with her at the Springfield hospital.
The school will use its own counselor, nurse and other staff members to help students who need to talk, Roberts said. Other area districts have offered to help too.
Roberts said he also will call on area ministers to be available on campus. "I've found that to be helpful in the past," he said.
Associated Press writers Don Babwin and Jason Keyser in Chicago and David Mercer in Champaign, Ill., contributed to this report.

PEPPERELL, Mass. — When Al Buckley was in the ninth grade, the oldest of seven children was needed more as a breadwinner than a student. It was 1963, and his time was more important earning money for the family than spending time in a classroom.
On Aug. 31, 1963, his 17th birthday, he signed up to go into the Navy. He dropped out of Lowell High School and went off to boot camp.
"It was the times, and my mother wanted me to go and make a living. Education wasn't high on their list," said Buckley, now 67, sitting at his kitchen table and explaining, matter-of-factly and with a bit of regret, why he was among the first at the high school to leave for the military.
Buckley would later try night classes after his years in the Navy were over, but "life got in the way," he said.
It wasn't until Wednesday that he finally earned his diploma, thanks to a state program that allows veterans who left school early for the military and were honorably discharged to earn their diplomas retroactively.
Buckley's is backdated to June 1966, when he would have graduated. It was presented to him at a Lowell School Committee meeting, with Lowell Mayor Patrick Murphy, Superintendent of Schools Jean Franco, Lowell High School Headmaster Brian Martin and others on hand to give him the honor.
"Nobody deserves it more," said Susan Buckley, Al's wife of 36 years.
Buckley, a barrel-chested man, grew up on a chicken farm in Dunstable, Mass., just 13 miles outside Lowell. He served in the Navy until 1970, working with his hands as a seamstress, dry cleaner, barber and tailor. His stint included time in Vietnam in 1964, '68 and '69, which he remembers with a framed photo of himself surrounded by smiling Vietnamese children.
He served for six years, six months and 26 days, a length of time he recites off the top of his head. He attended night school for a few years after returning but instead earned his certificate to do plumbing, heating and other contracting work, which turned into a career that continues today.
Getting his diploma never left his mind, though.
"I've been thinking about that for a long, long time," Buckley said.
He met his future wife when he fixed her sink. They both later asked a mutual friend about the availability of the other. Their first date, as they chose to call it, was a bag lunch in his dump truck.
"I loved it," Susan said. "I said, 'This man's a keeper.'"
Not having his degree certainly didn't hold Buckley back. He and Susan raised eight boys, four of whom served in the military simultaneously at one point, and a few seeing combat in Iraq together.
Buckley has also served on the Pepperell Conservation Commission and Board of Health and has been a member of the Nashoba Valley Technical School District Committee for 20 years.
He ran for Board of Selectmen this past spring and recently threw his name in for consideration for the Council on Aging.
"I just want to be involved in things, be in the mix of things," he said.
Being surrounded by people with advanced degrees, including doctorates in education, weighed on his mind. As a School Committee member, he was able to hand diplomas to three of his sons at their high school graduations. But it wasn't until a few months ago that the grandfather of 17 applied for the diploma program at LHS.
"I just put it in to see what happened," he said, modestly.
Buckley got word in September that he was approved.
Though he left school his freshman year, he said he thinks his community involvement, which also includes volunteering for various programs, helped his cause.
"Now I feel good," Buckley said, holding the diploma. "I really do."

W.Va. spill exposes a new risk to water from coal
WASHINGTON – The chemical spill that contaminated water for hundreds of thousands of West Virginians was just the latest and most high-profile case of coal sullying the nation's waters.
For decades, chemicals and waste from the coal industry have tainted hundreds of waterways and groundwater supplies, spoiling private wells, shutting down fishing and rendering streams virtually lifeless, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal environmental data. But because these contaminants are released gradually and in some cases not tracked or regulated, they attract much less attention than a massive spill like the one in West Virginia.
"I've made a career of body counts of dead fish and wildlife made that way from coal," said Dennis Lemly, a U.S. Forest Service research biologist who has spent decades chronicling the deformities pollution from coal mining has caused in fish. "How many years and how many cases does it take before somebody will step up to the plate and say, 'Wait a minute, we need to change this'?"
The spill of a coal-cleaning chemical into a river in Charleston, W.Va., that left 300,000 people without water exposes a potentially new and under-regulated risk to water from the coal industry, at a time when the federal government is still trying to close regulatory gaps that have contributed to coal's long legacy of water pollution.
From its mining to the waste created when it is burned for electricity, pollutants associated with coal have contaminated waterways, wells and lakes with far more insidious and longer-lasting contaminants than the chemical that spilled out of a tank farm on the banks of the Elk River.
Chief among them are discharges from coal-fired power plants that alone are responsible for 50 to 60 percent of all toxic pollution entering the nation's water, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. And thanks to even tougher air pollution regulations underway, more pollution from coal-fired power plants is expected to enter the nation's waterways, according to a recent EPA assessment.
"Clean coal means perhaps cleaner atmosphere, but dirtier water," said Avner Vengosh, a Duke University researcher who has monitored discharges from power plant waste ponds and landfills in North Carolina.
In that state, Vengosh and other researchers found contaminants from coal ash disposal sites threatening the drinking water for Charlotte, the nation's 17th-largest city, with cancer-causing arsenic.
"It is kind of a time bomb that can erupt in some kind of specific condition," said Vengosh. The water shows no signs of arsenic contamination now.
In southeastern Ohio, tainted water draining from abandoned coal mines shuttered a century ago still turns portions of the Raccoon Creek orange with iron and coats the half-submerged rocks along its path white with aluminum.
And public drinking water systems in 14 West Virginia counties where mining companies are blasting off mountaintops to get to coal seams exceeded state safe drinking water standards seven times more than non-mining counties, according to a study published in a water quality journal in 2012. The systems provided water for more than a million people.
What's more, the water quality monitoring in mining areas is so inadequate that most health violations likely were not caught, said Michael Hendryx, the study's author and a professor of applied health at Indiana University.
Even with those startling results, the effect of coal-fired power plants stands alone.
The EPA in an environmental assessment last year identified 132 cases where coal-fired power plant waste has damaged rivers, streams and lakes and 123 where it has tainted underground water sources, in many cases legally, officials said. Among them is the massive failure of a waste pond at a Tennessee Valley Authority power plant in 2008, which poured more than 5 million cubic yards of ash into a river and spoiled hundreds of acres in a community 35 miles west of Knoxville.
Overall, power plants contributed to the degradation of 399 bodies of water that are drinking water sources, according to the EPA.
But there are no federal limits on the vast majority of chemicals that power plants pipe directly into rivers, streams and reservoirs. The EPA just last year proposed setting limits on a handful of the compounds, the first update since 1982. And more than five years after the Tennessee spill, the EPA has yet to issue federal regulations governing the disposal of coal ash.
Experts say the agency is playing catch-up to solve a problem that began when it required power plants in the 1990s to scrub their air pollution to remove sulfur dioxide. An unintended consequence was that the pollutants captured were dumped into landfills and ponds, many unlined, where they seeped into underground aquifers or were piped into adjacent rivers, reservoirs and lakes.
"As you are pushing air rules that are definitely needed, you need to think of the water. And they didn't," said Eric Schaeffer, a former EPA enforcement official who now heads the Environmental Integrity Project, a group whose research has uncovered previously unknown sites of contamination from power plant waste pits. "Now they are running after the problem."
The federal government has in recent years issued the first-ever regulations for mercury released from power plant smokestacks, the largest source of mercury entering waterways. The EPA has also stepped up its review of mountaintop mining permits, to reduce pollution.
"Coal-related pollution remains a significant contributor to water quality pollution across the United States," said Alisha Johnson, a spokeswoman with the EPA. "The EPA's efforts have yielded significant improvements, but significant work still remains."
On the mining side, a review of federal environmental enforcement records shows that nearly three-quarters of the 1,727 coal mines listed haven't been inspected in the past five years to see if they are obeying the nation's water pollution laws. And 13 percent of the fossil-fuel fired power plants are not complying with the Clean Water Act.
Many mines don't even report their discharges of selenium, although researchers have found the chemical near mines at levels where it can cause deformities and reproductive failure in fish.
A study in the journal Science in 2010 found that 73 of 78 West Virginia streams in mountaintop mine removal areas had selenium levels higher than the official threshold for fish life. Higher levels of selenium — a natural component of coal that seeps from rock when water runs through it — often means fish don't reproduce or have deformed, even two-headed, offspring, Lemly said.
University of Maryland environmental sciences professor Margaret Palmer spent much of the weekend that Charleston was without water testing the Stillhouse Branch stream near Clay, W.Va., just below a mountaintop removal coal mine. She said her tests showed the water was too salty from the rocks from the mine.
"It's like a desert with a few water rats in it," Palmer said. "The organisms that do live in (these streams), you think of them like water rats. Only the really hearty ones survive."
Efforts by the EPA to ease the problem, by requiring mine permits to be judged by a measure of the saltiness in downstream water, have been vacated by a federal court. That decision is now under appeal.
A spokesman for the National Mining Association said the industry operates in accord with extensive and rigorous permitting guidelines.
In addition, pollution still enters the environment from coal mined decades ago.
The EPA estimates 12,000 river miles are tainted by acid mine drainage from long-shuttered coal mines. One of them is Raccoon Creek in southeastern Ohio.
"These mines have been abandoned for a hundred years," said Amy Mackey, Raccoon Creek's watershed coordinator. "There is no one to fall back on."
States take the lead on the water pollution front, but advocacy groups from at least three states in coal country — Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana — have asked the EPA to step in, arguing that state officials aren't doing enough.

Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett now says the decision on whether to file criminal charges against the Boulder police officers involved in the shooting and disposal of an elk in the Mapleton Hill neighborhood will not be made this week.
After meeting with Colorado Parks and Wildlife — which is conducting the criminal investigation into the actions of Boulder police officers Sam Carter and Brent Curnow — earlier this week, Garnett initially said a decision on charges could be made as early as Friday.
But on Thursday, Garnett said no decision will be announced this week, and the decision likely will not come until the middle of next week.
In the meantime, Garnett said he has received close to 15,000 e-mail messages as well as phone calls and letters about the elk case.
One petition on the In Defense of Animals website — which sends out automatic e-mails to Garnett, Boulder police Chief Mark Beckner and Colorado Parks and Wildlife each time it is signed online — already has received more than 14,000 signatures, according to Rita Anderson with In Defense of Animals. Beckner confirmed that he, too, has received thousands of e-mail messages about the elk shooting.
"This is a public office and no member of the public should ever hesitate to contact me about any issue," Garnett said. "I hear from members of the public all the time on all kinds of cases and I respond to all inquiries whenever possible.
"However, the public should understand that, by law, my office must make filing decisions based on the admissible evidence in a case and other ethical factors governing criminal prosecution in Colorado, not how upset the public might be about any particular case," Garnett added.
According to Boulder police, an on-duty Boulder police officer encountered an elk near Mapleton Avenue and Ninth Street late on New Year's Day that he said was injured and needed to be put down. The officer shot the animal with a shotgun, and an off-duty Boulder officer came to pick up the carcass with the help of an on-duty Boulder County sheriff's deputy, later identified as Jeff George.
The officer who shot the elk did not report the incident or notify his supervisors he fired his weapon. Police have not said whether Carter or Curnow fired the weapon, but records show Carter was on duty that night and Curnow was not.
Boulder police are conducting an internal personnel investigation into both Carter and Curnow, who have both been placed on paid leave. George also is subject to an internal probe, but he has not been suspended from duty.

Sweetin' up Fourth of July with watermelon dishes
Nothing says summer like eating a wedge of cold, juicy watermelon out of hand. But the sweet fruit also works as an ingredient in prepared dishes.
"Think of it as a substitute for a tomato," said Leslie Coleman, spokeswoman for the Orlando, Fla.-based National Watermelon Promotion Board. "When you throw a tomato on the grill, you don't leave it on for long. Do the same with watermelon. Flash-grill it, pepper it and put it on a burger instead of a tomato."
Like tomatoes, watermelon works in sauces, salads, kebabs, soups and desserts.
"Use it as a tomato alternative in salads," Coleman said. "Drain it well so it's not soaking your salad. Cut it in chunks or triangles and mix it with greens."
To make wedges, slice the fruit like a loaf of bread. Lay a round on its side. Halve it, then quarter it. For mini wedges, make additional cuts.
To make cubes, cut a checkerboard into the fruit. Take a quarter melon and lay it on the rind with the interior facing up. Place a knife about 3/4 of an inch down from the peak of the wedge. Holding the knife parallel to the far side of the fruit and starting at the edge of the rind, cut a horizontal line through the fruit all the way down to the rind.
Next, place the knife blade 3/4 of an inch lower and make the same cut. Repeat. Turn the fruit to the other side and make the same horizontal cuts. Starting at the edge of the rind, make vertical cuts ¾-inch apart all the way across. The cubes will tumble out.
"Watermelons pair nicely with things that tend to be hotter or spicier," Coleman said. She suggests making salsa with it. Use an immersion blender to mix the ingredients, and serve it in a bowl made of the half-rind of a personal-size watermelon.
Personal-size watermelons, roughly the size of a large softball, started showing up in markets about 4 years ago. They are ideal for smaller families and for those who can't afford to give up the refrigerator space a standard melon requires.
Customers can choose between seedless and seeded watermelons. To deseed:
n Cut melon in half, then in quarters.
n Cut through the flesh along the seed line with a paring knife. Lift off the piece you just cut out.
n Using a fork, scrape the seeds from the piece you just removed and from the remaining flesh on the rind.
Thanks to imports, watermelons are available year-round. Domestic melons - primarily from Florida, Texas, California, Georgia and Arizona - are available May through October, with the peak season May through August.
A watermelon is 92 percent water, making it good for hydration. It has no fat or cholesterol and is an excellent source of potassium and vitamins A and C. It's also high in lycopene, an antioxidant that may help reduce
the risk of cancer and other diseases.
"It's not just sugar and water. It's nutrient-dense," Coleman said.

Police: GMC Jimmy with missing side mirror sought in fatal hit and run
ROCKFORD - Police are looking for a 1999-2001 GMC Jimmy SUV that at 9:20 p.m. Monday plowed into a group of men visiting Rockford on business from Shanghai, China, killing a 27-year-old man and leaving his 36-year-old colleague on life support.
The SUV driver never stopped.
After driving into the group of men walking west on the side of East State Street, the SUV fled the scene. The men had been dropped off at the Clock Tower Resort bus stop from O'Hare and walking on the north side of the street where there is no sidewalk.
It is believed to be the seventh hit-and-run fatal crash this year in Rockford.
The SUV might be maroon, should have front-end and passenger side damage and is missing a passenger-side door mirror, Rockford Police Department Lt. Pat Hoey said in a news release.
Weixue Liu, 27, was killed in the crash. Zhang Xin, 36, was critically injured and is not expected to survive. Two other men in their group were not injured.
They were in Rockford on business to visit UTC Aerospace Systems on behalf of a customer from Shanghai. Family of Zhang Xin are expected to arrive in Rockford from China on Thursday.

Ford recalls 83,250 cars and SUVs
Associated Press
DETROIT – Ford is recalling 83,250 vehicles because a faulty part could cause them to lose power or roll away if they're parked.
The recall involves the 2012-2014 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX; the 2013-2014 Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT; and the 2013-2014 Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS.
The company says that due to the improper installation of a clip in the axle, the halfshaft can disengage from the linkshaft. If that happens, power won't be transmitted to the wheels, increasing the risk of a crash. Also, the vehicles could roll out of the "park" position if the emergency brake isn't engaged.
Ford says there have been no reports of injuries or accidents related to the defect.
Ford will notify owners and begin free repairs by the end of August.

(This will most likely be the post that causes my follower count to plummet…)
Before I continue, thank you all for making me feel better on Monday. Fortunately it was only a 24-hour Meh so now I'm back to my old self. I self-medicated with the best possible over-the-counter treatment: Haagen-Dazs. And peaches. All is well.Now for the spooky stuff. I'm going to preface this by saying that although I love real-life ghost stories, I regard most of them with a huge dose of skepticism—especially the stories on television. And I think Ghost Hunters and all the other shows in that genre are completely full of shit.
But over the years I've met many sane, reliable people who have stories they can't explain. And now I have a few of my own.
The first incident happened 2 years ago when we adopted our third Weeblette. She needed a new home because her owner had died. I made arrangements with a neighbor of the woman who died so that we could pick up our new kitty. During my phone conversations with the neighbor I noticed that she never mentioned the deceased woman by name; she always called her "the owner." I thought that was peculiar. Why not just use her name?
We drove to the house of the deceased woman, where her sister and the neighbor were meeting us. Again, they kept referring to "the cat's owner." Didn't this woman have a name??
The poor, scared little cat was hiding in the woman's bedroom. So we went in there to try to calm her down and get her in the carrier.
While Mr. Weebles took the bed apart to get to where kitty had taken refuge, I looked around the room. It hadn't been packed up yet. It looked like "the owner" still lived there. I felt bad that we were in her bedroom like that. And I wondered what her name was.
Just then I heard a female voice in my head—not my own voice but a very different voice, as clear as a bell, say "Janice."
Janice? Nah, that doesn't make any sense, I thought. That's my brain pulling a name out of the ether and playing games with me.
Finally, Mr. Weebles wrestled our new Weeblette into the carrier and we got ready to leave. The sister was crying. As she said goodbye to the kitty she said, "Janice would be so happy to know her cat is getting a nice new home."
Janice. I felt all the blood rush out of my head.
They hadn't said her name before then. Not once. I kept going back to all the conversations—maybe they had mentioned it and I had just forgotten. But no, they hadn't. I'm sure of it.
I like to think that Janice knew we'd be good kitty parents and chose us to take care of her girl. And I'm happy she introduced herself to me.
If you're still with me, stay tuned for Part II . . .

MOORE, R STEVIE: Phonography
The first time I heard R. Stevie Moore was when the Residents played me goodbye piano - which would have been sometime in early 1978. Soon after that, I got in touch with him to import some copies for Recommended - followed over the years by many of his other releases. Phonography was Stevie's first, and a masterpiece. Terminally idiosyncratic but with all the compositional qualities of great pop. R Stevie Moore is a gifted songwriter and marches to his own drum - as this strange and compelling record attests. It's been out of print for some time and we have taken the opportunity to restore it to its original form and carefully re-master it. A classic.L

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) – If there's any soul-searching among top television executives about onscreen violence contributing to real-life tragedies like the Connecticut school shooting, it isn't readily apparent.
All say the horrors of Newtown and Aurora, Colo., rocked them. But during a series of meetings with reporters here over the last 10 days, none offered concrete examples of how it is changing what they put on the air, or if that is necessary.
'I'm not a psychologist, so I'm not sure you can make the leap (that) a show about serial killers has caused the sort of problems with violence in our country,' said Robert Greenblatt, who put 'Dexter' on the air when he ran Showtime and is now overseeing development of a series on the notorious creep Hannibal Lecter for NBC. 'There are many, many other factors, from mental illness to guns.'
All of those points are being considered by Vice President Joe Biden as he prepares to make recommendations Tuesday to President Obama on ways to curb violence. When entertainment executives met with Biden in Washington on Friday, makers of blood-spurting video games like 'Call of Duty' and 'Mortal Kombat' dominated attention. In theaters, 'Texas Chainsaw 3-D' dominated box office receipts during its first week.
Television's biggest influence is its omnipresence; the average American watches more than four hours of TV a day.
In recent days, only FX President John Landgraf said he was in favor of further study about any correlation between entertainment and real violence. Previous studies have been mixed.
Landgraf has sons aged 15, 12 and 9 and said he doesn't let them play video games in which the player is shooting.
Everything the entertainment industry does should be fair game in a discussion about violence, he said. But he pointed out that the zombie series 'Walking Dead' and brutally violent 'Sons of Anarchy' are both very popular in England and that country has far fewer gun murders than the United States. The availability of powerful assault weapons and ammunition are most responsible for the difference, he said.
The Newtown shooting was heartbreaking, said Paul Lee, ABC entertainment president. 'We welcome the conversation as to how we as a culture can make sure that we don't let these events happen again,' he said.
He said ABC has strong standards for what it broadcasts, stronger than its competitors.
'We talk about it all the time,' he said. 'We are storytellers. We have to tell stories that are vibrant and passionate, but we want to make sure that the stories that we tell are done with integrity, you know, there's no gratuitous action that goes out there, that it's driven through the stories and the characters, and that we have a moral compass in what we do.'
The appetite for 'Walking Dead' and 'Texas Chainsaw 3-D' among young viewers is not lost on any TV executive, and bottom line pressure speaks most loudly to them. Broadcast networks feel a particular need to push the envelope when they see cable programs making noise with an ability to show more explicit scenes.
The same week that Lee talked about ABC's standards, the network's hit 'Scandal' had a scene depicting waterboarding.
Fox has a highly anticipated series due later this month, 'The Following,' about a serial killer who recruits deadly disciples, and its gruesome scenes include a woman who commits suicide by gouging her eye and piercing her skull with an ice pick, and a man set on fire at a coffee stand.
Kevin Reilly, Fox entertainment chairman, said that given all of the media choices, the impact on real life is a broad and complex conversation. 'It trivializes it to try and link it to television, or broadcast television in particular,' he said.
'Part of entertainment, part of what we do on television, is to provide escapism,' Reilly said. 'Escapism comes in many forms. It could be laughter. It could be fantasy. It is also your worst nightmare come to life. And it makes our palms sweat and it moves us emotionally and puts us on the edge of the seat. We are engrossed in it and we forget ourselves for an hour.'
When a network is putting a thriller on the air, it has to be able to compete on an intensity level, he said.
Being publicly questioned about the level of violence on the air clearly annoyed Reilly, however. Asked if Fox had made any changes to the promotion or content of 'The Following' after the Newtown school shooting last month, he snapped, 'No,' and said he wouldn't address any more questions on the topic.
He was wrong, by the way: Fox later said it had replaced a billboard showing a woman with an ice pick with an image of series star Kevin Bacon, and combed its on-air promos to make sure there was no gunplay.
Reilly wasn't alone in his impatience. CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler also called a halt to questions on the topic Saturday after being asked several. Tassler was unhappy with NBC's Greenblatt, who said that CBS' 'Criminal Minds' was worse than 'Dexter' ever was in terms of content. She said it was a mistake to allow the discussion 'devolve into my show versus your show.'
CBS is on pace to be the nation's most-watched television network for the 10th time in 11 years, and has done so with a huge fictional body count. The network's prime-time schedule is dominated by procedurals that usually involve solving violent crimes. Tassler said CBS would begin promoting on the Super Bowl a summer series based on a Stephen King book about a town trapped under an invisible dome, the promo clip shown to reporters included drawings of body parts dropping from the sky, a pacemaker bursting out of a man's chest and a bloody hammer being cleaned in a sink.
NBC illustrated a similar disconnect. As its executives said NBC wasn't a 'shoot `em up' network, a highlight reel of 'Revolution' was shown that that included a swordfight, a standoff between two men with guns, a gunfight and a building blown up with a body flying through the air.
Tassler said CBS will show 'awareness and sensitivity' as it moves the process of making pilots and selecting series that will run on the network in coming years.
'Nothing that is on the air is inappropriate,' she said. 'And our attention is always to continue to be a broadcaster that creates content for a vast, diverse audience.'
