ABC's Wide World of Sports
No Viewers.
Premiering in April 1961 as a summer replacement series, ABC's Wide World of Sports later became the first year-round weekly sports series on network television. Choosing to show sporting events that were uncommon for television at the time—auto racing at Le Mans, soccer in Great Britain, track in the Soviet Union—ABC's Wide World of Sports was an immediate critical success that attracted little or no viewer support in its first season.
The man behind the show was executive producer Roone Arledge, who had joined ABC Sports as a field producer of NCAA Football in 1960. This assignment gave Arledge the idea of a "sports potpourri" to fill the network void when college football games were blacked out locally. ABC brass responded positively to the idea because, although initially the sporting events were to be taped and shown with a week's delay, commercial satellites were to be launched in the mid 1960s and the experience gained from producing ABC's Wide World of Sports would be...

Blacks on Television
First Attempts.
The civil rights struggles of the 1950s finally began to filter into the television industry during the 1960s. NBC had broadcast The Nat King Cole Show in 1956 and 1957, but southern stations refused to broad-cast it, and it was canceled. The new decade saw an increase in roles for black actors, such as the guest-star roles for a couple on The Dick Van Dyke Show. Rob Petrie mistakenly believes that his son, Richie, has been accidentally switched at birth and tracks down the couple he believes has his son. The couple turns out to be attractive, middle class, and black.
Bill Cosby.
In 1965 NBC paired Robert Culp with black actor Bill Cosby in I Spy, an adventure-intrigue show. The easy rapport between Culp and Cosby and the relationship of Cosby's character to Culp's (Culp played a professional tennis star, and Cosby was his trainer-masseur) defused the potential for controversy. The first network show to star a single black character was Julia, which premiered on NBC on 17 September 1968, star-ring Diahann Carroll as a widowed nurse with a young son. Though it was one of the first shows to employ black writers, the show's plots did not accomplish much more than presenting white middle-class concerns with a black character. Despite criticisms by black critics of the show's lack of realism,...

Corporation for Public Broadcasting
A National Beginning.
In 1966 there were 114 educational-television stations, up from 52 in 1961. But they remained struggling local stations with little money and almost no national, quality programming. In 1967 the tide began to turn with two events. The first was the start of the Public Broadcasting Laboratory (PBL), an experimental news and features broadcast funded by the Ford Foundation and broadcast on educational television for two hours on Sunday evenings. The second was the publication of Public Television: A Program for Action, a report by the Carnegie Commission on the future of educational television.
Commitment of Ford.
While the programming produced by the PBL was widely derided as boring and without any real signifigance, the project underscored the commitment of the Ford Foundation to public broad-casting. From 1951 to 1977 the Ford Foundation donated more than $292 million to public radio and television, helping to support stations and to fund programming.
Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.
President Lyndon B. Johnson used the Carnegie report as the basis for legislative proposals to create a national system of public broadcasting. The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 became law in November 1967. The most important part of the legislation created...

Death of the Saturday Evening Post
Venerable Institution.
When the Saturday Evening Post ceased publication with the 8 February 1969 issue, one of the most venerable institutions of American magazine publishing fell victim to the changing media landscape of the post-World War II era.
Middle-class America.
The Saturday Evening Post claimed ancestry from the 1729 founding by Benjamin Franklin of the Pennsylvania Gazette. The Saturday Evening Post was, for almost sixty years, the most successful general-interest weekly magazine in the United States. The magazine had first reached its position as a magazine leader under the editorship of George Horace Lorimer, who held that post from 1899 until 1937. During Lorimer's tenure the Saturday Evening Post published fiction by Harold Frederic, Ring Lardner, Jack London, Joseph Conrad, William Faulkner, Stephen Crane, Thomas Wolfe, James Branch Cabell, P. G. Wodehouse, Rudyard Kipling, William Dean Howells, and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The mix of quality fiction, good reporting, and nonjingoistic Americanism made the Saturday Evening Post into the widely recognized voice of middle-class America. President Franklin Roosevelt was said to read the Saturday Evening Post when he wanted to find out what the middle class was thinking. In 1952 circulation was 4.2 million readers for the five-cent...

Newspapers in the 1960s
Struggle and Decline.
The decade of the 1960s was one of continued struggle and decline for newspapers. In 1909 there were 689 cities in the United States that had competing daily newspapers; by 1963 that number had shrunk to 55. Among major cities that number was down to 20. Over 1,400 cities had only one newspaper or two papers owned by the same publisher. Chains such as Scripps-Howard, Hearst, Newhouse, Knight, and Cox bought up papers around the country, having the effect of making newspapers more alike editorially regardless of the competitive status. Also people began to move outside the cities to the suburbs, taking away circulation and targets of advertisers.
Newspapers in the 1950s and 1960s performed three functions for the public: they provided news information, they provided entertainment, and they were advertising vehicles. The decline of a competitive news environment was a product of the rise of television journalism, as network and local-affiliate news became the new competitive forces. Television obviously provided an entertainment medium more conducive to the general public. As an outlet for advertisers, the new vitality of radio along with television took away many of the advertisers the newspapers relied upon. In 1950 local radio had advertising revenues of $273 million; in 1965 this figure had increased...

Newsweek Purchased
The purchase of Newsweek magazine by the Washington Post Company on 9 March 1961 created a formidable print-news company. The Washington Post, already powerful as the leading morning newspaper in the U.S. capital, bought the second most read newsmagazine in the country. In January 1961 Newsweek had a circulation of more than 1.4 million, second only to Henry Luce's Time.
Death of Astor.
Newsweek had been controlled by philanthropist Vincent Astor. On his death in 1959 his controlling 59 percent stock interest was transferred to the Astor Foundation, which soon began quietly to look for a buyer. The magazine had been founded in 1933 as News-Week. Astor had acquired his interest in 1937 through a merger with his magazine, Today.

New York Review of Books
Starting Up.
First published in February 1963 during a New York newspaper strike, the New York Review of Books was intended to fill the void left by the absence of the reviews usually published by The New York Times and the New York Herald Tribune. It was also intended as a corrective to the intellectually shallow commentary contained in newspaper reviews. As critic Edmund Wilson wrote in the New York Review of Books in September 1963, "The disappearance of the Times Sunday book section at the time of the printers' strike only made us realize it had never existed." The first issue of the journal was intended to be the only one, but after nearly one hundred thousand copies were sold, the backers decided to publish a second issue in May 1963. The success of the two issues convinced the journal's backers to continue publication semimonthly.

Radio in the 1960s
The 1960s were a decade of change for radio. Having weathered the challenge of television in the 1950s, something that most observers said was un-likely, radio was growing as an industry in the 1960s, even if individual stations faced struggles.
New Role.
But radio was no longer the national entertainment medium it had been in the 1930s and 1940s, playing network programs of comedy, drama, information, and music. Starting in 1948 with the advent of network television, the networks transferred many of their popular radio shows and their stars over to television. Jack Benny, Lucille Ball, Amos 'n' Andy, and dozens of other stars and shows ended up on the visual medium.
But radio survived and even prospered. In 1949 there were 80 million radios in the United States. In 1965 there were 228 million. Most of the growth was provided by a 1948 invention at Bell Laboratories, the transistor. This small electronic replacement for vacuum tubes provided the technology for the growth of a new market for radios. Radios in houses and in cars became smaller, better, and cheaper. By 1960 a typical AM/FM radio cost only thirty dollars; an AM-only radio cost fifteen dollars.
These two technologies, television and...

Satellite Broadcasting
International Broadcasting.
On 10 July 1962 the international broadcasting of television signals came closer to reality with the launch of Telstar 1, a fifty-million-dollar communications satellite owned and operated by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T). That same day a picture of an American flag flapping in the breeze was beamed from a television station in Andover, Maine, to Europe. Eleven days later a consortium of the three major television networks broad-cast a "picture album" of the United States—the Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, and a herd of buffalo grazing near Mount Rushmore—received by television broadcasters in Great Britain and the European Broad-cast Union. The Europeans transmitted pictures of the Roman coliseum, the Louvre, and the British Museum to the United States.
Synchronous Orbit,
One year later, on 10 July 1963, CBS showed the potential uses of transatlantic broad-casts when it showed a program called Town Meeting of the World, featuring former president Dwight D, Eisenhower, European Common Market founder Jean Monnet, West German parliamentary leader Heinrich von Brentano, and former British prime minister Anthony Eden. Two weeks later the first synchronous-orbit satellite, in step with the rotation of earth, was launched.

60 Minutes
First Television Newsmagazine.
The first television newsmagazine show, 60 Minutes, premiered on CBS on 24 September 1968 as a bimonthly program in the Tuesday night at 10 P.M. slot. Its cohosts during its first years were veteran news reporters Harry Reasoner and Mike Wallace. The 60 Minutes format was the brainchild of CBS Evening News producer Don Hewitt, who saw the program as a "Life magazine of the air." Each hour-long show was divided into three twenty-minute segments, two handled by Wallace and one by Reasoner.
The Interview.
The interview subject was the primary segment type, with Wallace and Reasoner featuring during the first year talks with Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver, French-German student radical Daniel Cohn-Bendit, Attorney General John Mitchell, rock singer Janis Joplin, Supreme Court nominee Clement Haynsworth, and My Lai massacre participants Pvt. Paul Meadlo and Capt. Ernest Medina. Some of the segments were criticized as puff pieces, but others, including the show investigating My Lai, were hailed as television journalism at its best. More important, 60 Minutes showed the networks that news could be packaged as entertainment and sold to advertisers and the public.
The Decline of the Documentary.
The newsmagazine helped spell...

Smothered Smotherses
Tom and Dick Smothers, two clean-cut, conservative-looking comedians, became the causes célèbres for civil libertarians in April 1969 when their television show The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was canceled by CBS, ostensibly because the Smotherses had failed to fulfill their contract obligations to provide entertainment that met the standards set by CBS. The reason put forth by the Smotherses and most independent ob-servers was censorship.
Risqué and Political.
The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour premiered on CBS on 5 February 1967 as a mid-season replacement. A Sunday-night show competing against the powerful Western Bonanza, the Smothers Brothers produced a pleasant surprise by placing often among the top thirty shows in weekly ratings. But the network censors were never happy with the brothers. Their humor was sometimes risqué and always political. The favorite target was President Johnson, and there were also drug references (which the censors at CBS were too staid to recognize), sexual innuendos, and humor at the expense of those who would censor art or stifle creativity.
Defending Cuts.
According to the Smotherses, CBS had tampered with 75 percent of their material during the two years of their run. During the 1968-1969 television season the...

Television Technology: Color and UHF
Quality and Growth.
The 1960s finally saw the resolution of two technical issues and problems that had plagued television since its early development: color broadcasting and ultrahigh frequency (UHF) stations. Their resolution led to an improvement in broadcast quality and growth in the number of television stations.
Old Standards.
Color broadcasting was a problem left over from the debate over broadcast technical standards during World War II. CBS, which had no technical patents relating to black-and-white technology, pushed during the mid 1940s for a standard that would have called for color broadcasting, which CBS had developed, and a large number of stations on the UHF band. CBS was opposed by RCA, which had an interest in black-and-white broadcasting and the status quo in regard to the broadcasting band. Joining RCA were the manufacturers of black-and-white and very high frequency (VHF) television sets, who knew that after the war consumers would buy what was available without thought to techno-logical advance.
UHF Stifled.
In 1945 the Federal Communications Commission decided that black-and-white television would be standard and that televisions would not be required to carry UHF tuners, effectively stifling that broadcasting frequency. UHF broadcasting would linger in its...

Headline Makers
Agnew, Spiro 1918-
Agnew's Speech.
On 13 November 1969 at 7:00 P.M. Vice-president Spiro Agnew made a speech carried live by the three net-works that lambasted those net-works. The impetus behind Agnew's speech was the press reaction, especially the television news reaction, to a speech on the Vietnam War by President Richard M. Nixon on 3 November 1969. In the speech Nixon called on the support of "the great silent majority of my fellow Americans," asking for their help in achieving his goal of ending the war in victory.
Instant Analysis.
Agnew, in his speech, concentrated on the analysis following Nixon's speech, attacking it as "instant analysis and querulous criticism":
It was obvious that their minds were made up in advance.… One commentator twice contradicted the President's statement about the exchange of correspondence with Ho...

Carson, Johnny 1925-
Television Institution.
Johnny Carson made the late-night NBC program The Tonight Show a television institution, far outpacing all competing shows in the ratings. Carson's comedie talents and ability to attract celebrity guests kept viewers tuned in to NBC.
Pat Weaver.
The Tonight Show was the 1954 brainchild of NBC executive Pat Weaver, who had created The Today Show in 1952. The two pro-grams were meant to complement each other and to lock viewers to NBC from the earliest viewing hours to the latest. On 1 October Carson officially replaced the contentious Jack Paar as host of The Tonight Show.
Carson versus Paar.
During his five-year tenure Paar had made the show a moneymaker for NBC, but under Carson The Tonight Show was a blockbuster. By 1965 Carson had raised the audience to an average of 8.7 million nightly viewers, over 300,000 above Paar's peak. Sponsor revenues for the show reached $20 million in 1967, a $4 million increase over the highest billings during Paar's years....

Cronkite, Walter 1916-
The Newsman.
During the 1960s Walter Cronkite became the most respected television news-caster in the United States. As the news figure most associated with the biggest news stories of the 1960s—the Kennedy assassination, the Vietnam War, and the Apollo 11 moon landing—Cronkite was renowned for his honesty, character, and lack of affectation. In 1973 he was voted "the most trusted man in America."
Early Career.
After a wide-ranging career as a print and radio journalist that began in 1933, Cronkite became anchorman of the CBS Evening News on 16 April 1962. He oversaw the expansion of the CBS Evening News from fifteen minutes to thirty minutes on 2 September 1963, featuring an interview with President John F. Kennedy on the first half-hour show. On 22 November 1963 the most significant event in the history of television news to that time occurred: the assassination of President Kennedy.

McLuhan, Marshall 1911-1980
Media Guru.
Marshall McLuhan was the media guru of the 1960s. His controversial theories about the effect of changing media on culture and society made him into a media figure himself. Readers saw his ideas as a possible explanation of the social turmoil of the 1960s, and media executives pointed at his writings as a sign of their importance. While many of his theories have been dismissed as confused and confusing, his influence on thinking about media and culture was significant.
A New Kind of Science Fiction.
A Canadian, McLuhan was born in Edmonton, Alberta, on 21 July 1911. Early in his career he was a professor of English literature. Upon taking a job teaching in the United States, McLuhan became interested in popular culture and its effect on youth. In the United States he was "confronted with young Americans I was incapable of understanding. …I felt an urgent need to study their popular culture in order to get through." His first book on the media and culture, The Mechanical Bride: Folk-lore of Industrial Man (1951), was a collection...

Minow, Newton 1926-
A Chicago lawyer well versed in communications issues, Newton Minow was appointed chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on 10 January 1961 by President John F. Kennedy. He was sworn in on 2 March 1961 and immediately began to do battle with bad taste and manipulative programming.
A Vast Wasteland.
His speech to the National Association of Broadcasters in May 1961 set offa firestorm of controversy. His labeling of television programming as "a vast wasteland" angered network executives and pleased critics of television. In addition to the technical concerns of the FCC—license renewal, technology issues, and others—Minow made the improvement of the content of television and radio one of his main projects. While he had no statutory authority over content, Minow used the power of the commission to hold hearings to try and change the focus of programming from shallow entertainment to culture and education.
Commission Hearings.
In February 1962 the FCC held a series of hearings on network programming, devoting a week each to the programming policies of CBS, NBC, and ABC. The first week of the hearings, with CBS executives, was not marked by many confrontations. The second week of...

Morris, Willie 1934-
Magazine Troubles.
Willie Morris, at thirty-two years old, became the youngest editor in chief in the history of Harper's magazine on 1 July 1967. He replaced John Fischer, the man who hired him and brought him to New York from Texas in 1963. Harper's in the 1960s was suffering from competition with television. In 1966 the magazine had 277,000 readers and $1.8 million in revenues, figures which belied the problems faced by narrowly focused news and literary magazines during the 1960s. Though Harpers's had been revered and sustained by the literary elite, the magazine's owners and editors found that the traditional readership was not able to sustain Harper's financially.
Early Life.
The hiring of Morris was part of an editorial plan to bring the magazine more in line with the changing American society of the 1960s. Morris's background was certainly not that of the typical New York editor. He was born in 1934 in Yazoo City, Mississippi, and grew up with the discomfort associated with the racism of that society. After high school he went to the University of Texas at Austin. As editor of the college newspaper, the Daily Texan, Morris became a campus celebrity because of his activist stand, defending the right of the paper to comment on campus, local, state, and...

Wenner, Jann 1946-
Youth Market.
Jann Wenner was among the first entrepreneurs to realize the enormous commercial potential of the baby-boomer youth market of the 1960s. Born in 1946, Wenner was twenty when he started Rolling Stone magazine in 1967 to focus on the rock 'n' roll youth culture of the late 1960s.
Wenner's first experience as a journalist was at the University of California, Berkeley, where he wrote a music column for the campus newspaper. He also did reports on the Free Speech Movement at Berkeley for NBC. He dropped out of college after his junior year and wrote a music column for Sunday Ramparts, a weekend offshoot of the New Left magazine. After six months he borrowed seventy-five hundred dollars from a relative and started Rolling Stone with fifty-two-year-old San Francisco Examiner columnist Ralph Gleason.
The first biweekly issue appeared on 9 November 1967 and featured a cover portrait of John Lennon. The "Publisher's Statement" in the issue put forth the purpose of the magazine:
Rolling Stone is not just about music, but also about the things and attitudes that music embraces.… To de-scribe it any further would be...

People in the News
In November 1969 Walter Annenberg sold the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Daily News for $55 million. Annenberg, who owned TV Guide, Seventeen magazine, and the Daily Racing Form, sold the news-papers to escape a challenge to the renewal of his FCC license for WFIL television station in Philadelphia. He had been accused of having a virtual news monopoly in the city.
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz made their final appearance together in an I Love Lucy special on 1 April 1960. Their divorce became final on 1 May.
John Henry Faulk, a CBS radio personality, won his libel suit in June 1962 against a sponsor who accused him of Communist leanings. He filed the suit in 1957 with the help of Edward R. Murrow. The court awarded him $2.8 million.
Mai Goode became the first black network correspondent on 10 September 1962, covering the United Nations for ABC.
On assignment in Colombia in May 1967 for McCall's magazine, Lynda Bird Johnson, the daughter of the president, was involved in an incident with Colombian journalists.

Important Events in the Media, 1960–1969
- Daytime radio serials and most other network radio programming end, leaving news and special events coverage.
- On February 10, television host Jack Paar's late night talk show is cut off by NBC censors after he tells a joke they consider to be in poor taste. The next night, Paar walks off the show to protest the censorship. He does not return to the air until March 7.
- On May 19, radio disc jockey Alan Freed, who coined the term "rock 'n roll," is arrested for taking money to play certain records on his program. Famous TV disc jockey Dick Clark denies accepting such bribes. But the "payola scandal" reaches national proportions.
- On June 1, the National Council of Churches issues a report assailing television's preoccupation with sex and violence.
- On September 26, the largest television audience yet measured watches the first of four debates between presidential candidates Vice-president Richard Nixon and Senator John F. Kennedy. The power of television is demonstrated by polls showing that most who heard the debate on radio called it a draw. But television viewers, watching the vigorous, self-confident Kennedy and the haggard vice president, gave the edge to the senator.
- On November 25, CBS airs a one-hour news program called Harvest of Shame, documenting the working and...

Got a killer commute? You just may. Thursday in Los Angeles (appropriately), social geographer Erika Sandow presented her latest slice of commuting scholarship, which finds that some workers with long commutes—more than 31 miles (50 kilometers) one way—die sooner than people who live closer to their job. Sandow, with Sweden's Umeå University, outlined her as-yet-unpublished work during the annual meeting of the Association of American Geographers. There's already enough academic research on the perils of commuting to fill a minivan, or at least a Mini. Sandow noted existing ... Read More
The Nuclear Mess at Fukushima
While the world sweats over nuclear mongering from a certain Chicago Bulls-loving dictator, a very real nuclear mess is happening in Japan. Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) has announced that a storage tank at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, a victim of the 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami in the area, has a suspected leak. If this leak is confirmed, that will make three leaks at the plant since just this past Saturday. In addition to this, the plant has experienced two power outages that shut down a portion of the cooling systems used for spent fuel ponds. Two years and a month ... Read More
Margaret Thatcher: Convicted of Black-and-White Thinking
Among the handful of quotes that surface repeatedly in the obituaries on Margaret Thatcher is her self-description not as "a consensus politician or a pragmatic politician, but a conviction politician." Numerous stories published since her death Monday have used the word "conviction" in their headlines or as the organizing principle in describing her life. Paragraph-length encomiums from Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Henry Kissinger, and even Meryl Streep all feature the word "conviction" as one of the Iron Lady's qualities. In 2009, University of Connecticut ... Read More
You Gonna Eat That?
When I was a sophomore in college, a near mutiny arose on campus after the administration announced that, forthwith, all plastic trays would be removed from our cafeterias. Not only did the trays encourage students to waste food, Old Chapel argued, but washing them all—in addition to the usual slew of plates, bowls, and flatware—consumed a needless amount of chemical detergent, hot water, and worker wages. (They also had a pesky habit of winding up on the sledding hill in winter.) This being rural Vermont, and with so little else to organize against—the Dow was above 14,000, Occupy Wall ... Read More
Guinea Pigs, an Adorable—and Tasty—Dinner Companion
Feeling a little peckish but don't want a lot? How about some animal protein already packaged in (American) snack size? According to NPR, more people are eating guinea pigs, previously best known on these shores for being, well, guinea pigs in the nation's laboratories (and for not being hamsters). And unlike the Western world's unwitting horse eaters, at least the guinea pigs are instantly recognizable as such since they're usually served whole, from two-tooth death rictus to meaty rump. Having been sensitized by the writing of Jack Shafer over the years, I wondered how real this ... Read More
The Deluge Continues
East Africa's largest economy is about to become a major oil producer, according to Bloomberg BusinessWeek. The U.K. oil giant Tullow estimates that Kenya's Great Rift Valley area—known as the "Cradle of Mankind" due to the discovery there of the earliest known human remains—could yield 10 billion barrels of oil, enough to supply the country for three centuries. Production remains years away; officials first hope to build a $5 billion network of pipelines to the nation's Indian Ocean coast in order to facilitate shipping to, notably, China, India, and other Asian countries. With ... Read More
Is Our Disconnect From Nature a Disorder?
Somewhere during the American experience, between Teddy Roosevelt and color TV, being outdoors and maybe even working up a sweat started to lose its universal appeal. There remain those who fetishize the outdoors, from Ted Nugent to REI shoppers, and the urge to connect with nature never vanished. But as Americans became more urban and more cocooned in their cars and air conditioning, the values of nature were honored more by their absence than in their activities. The price of this disconnect is usually tallied via our bodies, with a simple equation that a lack of outdoor activity must ... Read More
1,000 Days to Reach the U.N.'s Millennium Goals—and It's Not Looking Good
The 2012 list of how much money the world's wealthier countries gave to international development schemes is out. They are giving less and less. The stats are from the cheerily-named Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (or OECD), which studied its members. Aid was down 4 percent last year and 2 percent in 2011, according to a statement. The downward trend is the steepest reduction in aid in 15 years. The interminable European economic crisis is a key culprit in this. The numbers show aid budgets crashed hardest in Spain, Italy, Greece, and Portugal—nations slammed by ... Read More
Is Your Cell Phone Not Ruining Your Life?
Cell phones can be wonderful things. You might even be reading this on a cell phone. And today is the 40th birthday of the first mobile phone. That phone—look at how cute the antenna is!—could call other people at a somewhat successful clip and not fit in your pocket, but that's about it. Over the last 40 years cell phones have developed the ability to do so many different non-phone-call things, making calling more of "feature" or, oh no, an "app," rather than a vital method of communication upon which this device's existence is based. So, 40 years on, it's time to take ... Read More
Germany Unplugs Nuclear Power, Doesn't Plug in Anything Else
Two years after deciding to phase out nuclear power, Germany's government just reported that it is still producing more energy than it needs. Europe's largest economy has suffered no shortfalls in electricity supply and quadrupled its energy exports to neighbors compared to 2010—before the phase-out. That's according to Germany's state statistical service. Before the drawdown, German nuclear plants represented 20-25 percent of the country's electricity supply. Solar and wind alternatives, meanwhile, are not yet online in sufficient force to take up the shortfall. The lights, however, have ... Read More

The Sullivan Estate & SPA Retreat : Green in Hawaii
Filed under: Spas
Nestled on the north shore of Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands, the Sullivan Estate & SPA Retreat is quite literally an oasis in a vast and chaotic ocean. Thanks to its reliance on solar power, it's also among Luxist's best green spa nominees.
Though the Sullivan Estate traces its beginnings to 1962, it has only been in its current incarnation for a few years. In 2005, German-Australian doctor Juergen Klein bought the estate after selling his skin care company, Jurlique. He and his wife Karin, a veteran in the hospitality industry, combined their expertise to create the spa.
The estate is powered almost entirely by the energy soaked up by solar panels that adorn the roofs of nearly every structure on the property. The photovoltaic tiles on top of the main building produce more than 50 kilowatts of electricity every day – so much that the estate often has enough surplus to sell energy back to customers on Oahu's main power grid.
The OlaLoa spa is billed as a retreat for the "seven senses," specializing in solutions for those under unusual amounts of stress. All therapies are drug-free and focus on balancing all states of mind and body, including massages, yoga, Thai Chi and Quigong. OlaLoa also focuses on longevity, emphasizing the value of dietary supplements to go along with a robust exercise regimen.
Treatments include "Synergized," a 3.5-hour program built to enhance circulation and relax muscle that starts with an herbal steam sauna and ends with an aromatherapy body massage. If that's not enough for you, try "Longevity," a 4.5-hour program that begins with yoga or Thai Chi and ends with a Swedish massage. Either way, you can take comfort in the fact that you're relaxing in the most sustainable manner possible.
Cast your vote for your favorite spa until March 31st. Winners will be announced on April 1.

This picture taken on October 8, 2013 shows people collecting grapes in the Burgundy domain of Vosne-Romanee during the harvest period. Burgundy's 2013 harvest has produced some beautifully balanced wines but they will be in short supply after a second consecutive small harvest, local professionals said on November 12, 2013. The Burgundy trade board (BIVB) said production levels could even be lower than 2012, already one of the smallest-yielding years of recent times, after a cold and wet spring was followed by destructive hail showers in July, exacerbating mildew and other problems in the vineyard.

I'm a mom of 2 girls and I just loathe going to the big box stores to get my [url=http://www.patiofurnituremax][b]Patio Furniture[/b][/url]. I just have no time in my busy schedule.
A week ago I saw PatioFurnitureMax.com - I was blown away by their selection of [url=http://www.patiofurnituremax][b]Outdoor Patio Furniture[/b][/url] . I made my order in about 2 minutes (finally a site which makes it actually easy to buy) and being the technophobe that I am. I called them to make sure my order was correct. It's nice to get folks that actually pick up the phone when you call them!
Anyways, I'm now counting the hours for my Aluminum [url=http://www.patiofurnituremax][b]Patio Furniture Sets[/b][/url]

I'll write more when it arrives!

Nah.. This is just an elaborate scheme to showcase all of the changes made in B2W2. I find it funny though that they're now heading to Southwest Unova, but they've already covered Virbank and the Pokestudios already seperately..
It's obvious now that they gave Trip the BW1-Cheren plot, because they knew about Cheren's update in B2W2. Hence why we also only got a minimal showing of Team Plasma during BW1, because they knew that they'd be reformed in B2W2...
And the rest of the sages, and those two girls that were in Team Plasma, and.. ehh.. Benga! Unless they meet him in the previous episode..
Like that chubby dude from Modern Family?

I deliberately left Anthea and Concordia out as they were treated poorly imo in the games. I can only see Zinzolin and Rood appearing of the Sages, although it would be interesting to see each of them. As for Benga! another rival for Ash!! : ).
I hope Cheren doesn't only get this single episode, I hope he meets Ash and co from time to time...
The Unova Region was great. :P
It's actually Cameron, but honestly, what the hell does that have to do with anything about this episode?
I hope N is still with the group at this point, but I somehow doubt it. ;S
Iris: Are you sure the recipe calls for this many Minccino?
Cilan:*Sighs* Hang on, I'll check.
Ash: What's happening?
Cheren: Yeah...he does that sometimes.

Finally Cheren appears! and pheww there is no break on Jan. 31st!!
XY anime is here!
Excited to see Cheren. I hope it's gonna be a 3 vs. 3 battle if he's battling Ash.
And I guess Lenora will maken an appearance to her or will at least be mentioned. Maybe she'll go after Team Plasma or something.
I remember wishing for Cheren to appear as a motivator/rival for Bianca to advance her character and play a role in her dad/Elesa story and it didn't happen, not really surprised. But now the writers are putting Cheren in the anime. Part of me shrugs it off as the writers trying to boost ratings by adding as many game characters into the product as they possibly can. If they scrapped Trip for Cheren, then it's sad proof they are acknowledging the character failed. Kinda sad actually. But I will watch this only because Cheren is one of my fave Unova characters along with Bianca of course. I suspect the anime will do him more justice then her.
I won't hold my breath and hope Bianca and Cheren know each other as I see another Barry/Dawn situation happening here. I don't care that Cheren is battling Ash of all people. I hope he gets a very easy win, and by he I mean Cheren. But I wouldn't mind seeing Cheren battle Iris. Hey Iris is the champ in BW2, tease it a little in the anime some more XD
Parena or Serecham both equal Serena+Pancham!
I suppose Cheren could face the new trainer from N1! and that Ash and Co a companion him to his first gym!? and remember the story from the Reshiram tempel or something so it could be at SW Unova?
They can invent so many reasons!
My Final B2-normal mode- team:
I don't know I kinda low key wanted Ash to battle Marlon too, but that never happened. I guess Trip would be better than no one but I'd prefer Ash, or they could both battle him!
If it'd be 3 vs 3 it could be like Scraggy, Oshawott, Snivy vs. Herdier, Watchog, Dunsparce. That'd be nice I guess.
I think Bianca appears but not in the b2w2 while Cheren does.

I wouldn't mind dressing in this outfit for my rides either. :)

Cops and firefighters also get paid too much.
Let me be clear: Many public-sector employees — especially frontline employees like teachers, cops and firefighters — have difficult, important and often dangerous jobs. They deserve to be well-compensated. And, for the most part, they are. After six years, police and firefighters can earn more than $90,000, excluding overtime.

Comments: The filter pad is high quality, performing exactly as advertised. The price/quality is excellent.
Comments: I added this to my collection of filters recently. It does a great job of filtering and it allows the water to flow through quicker than my other all cotton pads. If you use this type of media for your setup then give this a try, it worked well for me.
Comments: It's a filter pad, it's cheap, and it works. What else could you ask for? I got the 300 micron and noticed it seemed to be picking up more than the Coralife Pur Flo 100 micron pad that I had just run out of. I'm happy, my tank looks happier too.
Comments: Very disappointed.I have the pad cut into 8"X4" pieces in my sump as mechanical filtration for my 65 gallon reef tank. The pads do not filter evenly. They create a calico cat type pattern where large spots on the pad do not let any water through. This causes only about 50% to 70% of the pad actually filtering and as a result do not take long before they are clogged. Other brands I purchased lasted 2 to 3 days, none of these have lasted more than 1. As a result a poor choice.
Thank you for taking the time to review our products.

There's a new ISP in town: Facebook Unleashed its Titan.
May 13, 2011 Business & Marketing, Email Marketing
RIP Email Marketing as we know it.
Facebook just released its Project Titan, which is their email ISP platform. It allows users to have an @facebook.com email address that integrates directly into their Facebook account.
This is genius on Facebook's part. It keeps the user logged into Facebook that much longer. Now they can share photos of the kids, chat, get "where r u" updates from check-ins, see who likes what pages of the internet, who's in complicated relationships and nasty break-ups, play some dumbass Zynga games, and give up all their privacy rights without realizing it… AND now check their email at the same time.
What's different about this system vs. Gmail, Hotmail, AOL and others is that each user serves as their own gatekeeper. Only messages from connected Facebook friends and conversations initiated by the user are allowed in the inbox by default. Any third-party messages are sent to an "other" box. And if the domain/ISP/brand isn't trusted by FB's postmaster yet, it doesn't even get delivered. At least the FB postmaster does send a gracious bounce response back to the sender stating the user doesn't like you yet so you can't talk to them.
In a discussion thread with some colleagues, I talked about how this is changing the game of email marketing:
"They aren't dealing with false positives, at all. Every message from someone who isn't already a connected friend on Facebook goes directly to your junk box. You have to manually let third-party senders into your inbox with a rule.
In theory, this makes their junk box actually have a higher intrinsic value than other ISPs. Habitually, I never check junk boxes. But now, I'll feel a need to because ALL mail from new senders will filter there by default.
In dog training, they call this behavior modification."
The response: B F Skinner would be proud of Zuck.

Features and Benefits
Consolidating your possibly fragmented mix of user collaboration tools within a single Avaya Aura® unified platform avoids proprietary lock-in, reduces management complexity, and lowers network costs and outside conference service fees.
Built-in intelligence manages the load on your network, monitoring bandwidth, usage, conferences, and sessions, and adapting to your network conditions.
Media cascading reduces the number of media streams that need to travel across the WAN. Having fewer streams can significantly reduce WAN costs.
Support a few dozen or tens of thousands (as many as 10,000 concurrently) audio, video, and web conference users.
When users have intuitive communication tools that allow them to readily connect, engage, and share key information, they focus less on technology and more on supporting customers, completing projects, and producing impactful results.
- Avaya Aura® Conferencing Standard Edition For customers not ready to upgrade a current investment in Avaya Aura® System Platform or the Avaya Desktop Video Device, this earlier release of Avaya Aura Conferencing is a great way to expand collaboration options, and set an easy migration path to the latest functionality. Avaya Aura Conferencing Standard Edition is an on-premise, SIP-based solution that provides audio, standard definition video, and web conferencing capabilities. The application has a single virtualized server configuration.

What's the best way to organize library books? Choose from single or double-faced library shelving in a variety of heights and styles to keep books organized. Combining wall-mounted and freestanding bookcases lets you make the most of your floor space, while our colorful Educational Edge library shelving adds a dash of cheer.
Should I get single- or double-faced library shelving?
No matter how large or small your library is, you'll find library shelving to suit your needs at Hertz Furniture. Most libraries will probably benefit from a combination of single- and double-faced shelving. Single faced shelving goes against walls, while freestanding units enable you to create additional aisles or rows in the middle of the room. Lower double-faced units also work well as room dividers or childrens' bookcases.
What is the most affordable way to get library bookshelves?
Double-faced shelves might be a bit pricey for institutions on a tight budget. However, there is a solution which creates a similar configuration. You can get significant savings from fastening single-faced bookcases back to back instead of purchasing double-faced units. This arrangement offers the same configuration as double-faced bookshelves with the added benefit of being able to separate the shelves if you decide that you want single-faced units in the future.
How can I make bookcases look built in?
Starter and adder units create a custom built-in look without the extra expense of a personalized design. Modular bookcases save space and money, enabling you to fit more shelves in the room that you have. You can order the perfect number of shelves for your study space for wall-to-wall books. An additional benefit of modular bookshelves is that you can always add more later. You can start off with one arrangement and simply attach more adder units as the book collection expands or your reconfigure the space.
Are steel or wooden bookcases better?
Because books are very heavy, it is important to purchase bookshelves designed specifically for holding them. Hertz Furniture offers tough library shelving in both steel and solid wood. Datum library shelves are constructed from 22-gauge steel that provides the toughness you need to support literature. Steel bookcases come in a wide selection of colors including vibrant and more muted tones.
Solid wood shelving has a classic stately appeal that is reminiscent of elegant and highly-prized book collections. Russwood library shelving is constructed from solid oak and real oak veneers. It has an extremely high book capacity. You can choose from a selection of appealing wood hues to coordinate with your other library furniture.
Should I get special library shelving for the children's section?
While most school library shelves are open, there are some instances in which fixed dividers are advantageous. In early-childhood libraries, fixed dividers help keep thin books in an upright position, and make it easier for little ones to remove and replace books. Dividers can also be helpful whenever a shelf is less than full and you don't want books to tip over, or when you want to divide books into small, clear sections.
For a brighter, inviting reading space, look no further than Educational Edge library shelving. These strong and sturdy bookcases feature brightly-accented edges in a selection of hues. They are perfect for a children's section or even a contemporary adult library. They can also be coordinated with classroom colors for those who keep many books in the learning space.
Inspire reading by displaying your books prominently on Hertz Furniture's attractive collection of library shelves. Our wide selection offers a number of styles, colors and configurations that can fit in with a variety of library furniture. At Hertz Furniture, we know that figuring out the perfect combination of library bookcases can be a complicated and daunting process, and that's why we are here to help you every step of the way. For personalized assistance from layout to selection to ordering and beyond, contact the Hertz Design Team to begin planning your dream library today.

HON's practical office furniture is Made in the USA with eco-friendly materials. With a 25-year warranty from Hertz Furniture, you can be sure that these computer desks, file cabinets and executive chairs will be there to see your company through from the big move to your next merger and beyond.
The key to having a productive work day and going home happy is surrounding oneself with attractive and comfortable office furniture. Surroundings which are organized, appealing and supportive help professionals concentrate and feel relaxed at the office - even if they are working in high-pressure situations. Every employee from administrative assistant to entry-level clerk to company president contributes to the overall success of a business or organization, so it is important to make sure that every workspace is furnished properly.
When considering how to promote the physical comfort of a lawyer, principal or secretary throughout the day, office chairs should be the main concern. A supportive swivel chair which promotes naturally healthy positioning will prevent aches and pains associated with working at a computer for many hours. Cushy padding, attractive upholstery and adjustable features combine ergonomics and aesthetics for a synthesis that both looks and feels wonderful.
While every employee deserves the best office chair, high-level executives such as partners, CEOs and vice presidents deserve seating that is a step above. They certainly need the same custom support as all employees do, but they also require an elegant style which projects a sense of authority and reliability. Executive chairs feature high backs and luxurious padding which is a cut above the rest. A leather office chair is the classic choice for someone who is in charge of a large company.
Once appropriate seating has been selected, it's time to move on to work surfaces. Office desks come in all shapes and sizes. With their simple yet practical designs, HON computer desks can fit in with any decor or color scheme. Pedestals with box and file drawers keep everything organized, whether you prefer a u-shape or classic rectangular configuration. HON's durable steel office desks make great teacher desks because they are able to withstand the use - and abuse - of any classroom.
A busy professional with many clients will likely require more storage and filing space than any regular computer desk can provide. An easy way to provide extra office storage without crowding the workspace is by adding a coordinated hutch to the executive desk. Office hutches fit right above the work surface, forming a seamless connection that is both convenient and visually appealing. Another excellent way to add some drawer space, and even an extra work surface is by placing a credenza next to or behind a desk. With this arrangement, one can simply swivel around on a computer chair, without having to get up or move too far, and retrieve the necessary supplies or documents.
Busy law firms and medical practices have lots of papers that must be organized on a constant basis. File cabinets offer an easy way to keep everything in order. HON filing cabinets feature generous drawers and are available in both lateral and vertical configurations. With these arrangements, a standardized filing system can be easily achieved and maintained.
Many executives like to keep some reading materials in their personal offices. Office bookcases will keep reference books, personal collections and binders in neat displays that are befitting the professional atmosphere. Bookshelves can go in the executive suite, employee lounge, training room, or even the waiting area. They come in compact two-shelf models as well as high-capacity floor-to-ceiling arrangements.
Not every professional is privileged to enjoy the pleasures of a large executive suite. However, there are ways to create a private personal workspace within a large shared area. Office cubicles from HON are versatile and convenient. They can be set up in a variety of configurations depending on the nature of your space and how you prefer to divide it up. Cubicles have the benefits of both personal areas and a shared space because they create clear divisions while still promoting camaraderie and teamwork.
Enjoy the versatility and practicality of HON Furniture in any office, school or organization. Let this budget-friendly modern office furniture facilitate productivity in a positive work environment as your company evolves from startup to industry leader.
