Rancho Cucamonga >> A sheriff's deputy shot and killed a mountain lion that was cornered in the backyard of a home after about a 90-minute search for the animal Saturday morning, the Sheriff's Department said.
About 6:45 a.m. a resident reported two mountain lions jumping from backyard to backyard in the 8800 block of Somerset Drive, near Beryl Park and the 210 Freeway.
Deputies were unable to locate a second lion and did not find any evidence of a second cat in the neighborhood, but sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Bachman encouraged residents of the foothill community to be cautious.
"People should definitely be aware, just in case there was a second one, or there could be another one that could possibly come out of the mountains (and) into the neighborhood," Bachman said by phone.
Deputies responding to the initial call saw one big cat scale a fence and bound through backyards, according to the Sheriff's Department.
Around 7:25 a.m., 40 minutes after the first reported sighting and about a quarter-mile away, someone in the 6300 block of Moonstone Avenue told the Sheriff's Department a mountain lion was in their backyard.
Deputies from the Rancho Cucamonga station responded and found a 50- to 75-pound, adult female in the yard.
"The responding public safety personnel maintained a respectful and non-threatening distance to observe and assess the animal," said a statement from the Sheriff's Department. "Based on the imminent threat to public safety; at 8:19 a.m., a deputy humanely shot the mountain lion. The animal expired of the single gunshot wound immediately and a necropsy will be conducted."
Bachman said lethal force was used because deputies don't carry tranquilizers.
"These are occupied homes, and just a few homes away from where the mountain lion was shot, there were children playing in the backyard," Bachman said.

When I heard the news about Beyonce's pregnancy, the first thing I wondered was what kind of gorgeous clothes Sasha Fierce would swathe her bump in. The second thing I wondered was how fatherhood would jibe with Jay-Z's hardcore persona. Would he throw in references to Baby Bjorns and Pampers in his rhymes? Would his choice of stroller cause the same ripple effect as his choice of champagne?

Turns out that daughter Blue Ivy, born just 2 days ago, has already turned him into a softie. In a new track, "Glory feat. B.I.C.," which has just been released on his web site, Jay reveals that the birth of Blue followed a heartbreaking miscarriage, that she was conceived in Paris, and that he considers her to be his greatest creation.

The Walrus Says
With Memorial Day observed on Monday, we asked islander Lt. Col. Andy Croft to share with us his thoughts about the holiday.
"As our nation prepares to celebrate its 140th Memorial Day, some may wonder what the day means to an active-duty service member. As a father and Air Force officer, Memorial Day strikes me in two poignant ways every year. One is the flying of the American flag in remembrance of the 631,625 service members who have given their lives since the Revolutionary War and the emotions tied to that flag. The other is the desire to instill in our younger generation and children the understanding of sacrifice made by others in the defense of our country and its ideals.
"The placement of 260,000 flags over the graves at Arlington and in local communities has a special meaning for veterans and current active duty soldiers, sailors and airmen. The flag invokes feelings of pride, sorrow, hope and determination. Pride for what our nation has accomplished, sorrow for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, hope for our future and determination to continue to protect our country. Facing the flag during our anthem, taps or retreat offers the opportunity to reflect silently what it means to be an American, both as a civilian and a member of the armed forces.
"If ever given the opportunity, visit the American Cemetery at Normandy. It truly brings home the feeling of Memorial Day. Set on high ground at Omaha Beach, the perfectly manicured grounds with over 9,000 marble crosses and Stars of David stand in absolute perfect order on the site of the bloodiest battle of the D-Day invasions. Even today, one can imagine American troops coming ashore under fire from German defenders on the cliffs overlooking Omaha beach. Sacrifice in the purest sense.
"So we try to instill these lessons in our children. We start small, with lessons on our own history and the flying of our own flag. We explain why friends' fathers go to Iraq and Afghanistan, and what really happened to our country on 9/11. One of our best friends returned from Iraq last night, our children celebrated his safe return and I hope understand the sacrifice that other families are making right now. These small lessons will help our future generations understand what Memorial Day stands for, as the veterans of our current wars join those who sacrificed so much over the last 233 years."
Lt. Col. Croft is an Air Force officer currently attending the Naval War College. Thanks, Andy, and Godspeed!
Last week's poser was either too easy or too tough. Barbara- Ann Macintosh was the only one to reply. Is you is or is you ain't my baby, the way you been acting lately makes me doubt.
Does anyone still have a ruptured duck?
If you love animals and your pet has a very special place in your heart, please consider spending one hour, supporting the proposed Jamestown Animal Shelter. On Tuesday evening, May 27, from 6 to 7 p.m., the Jamestown Town Council will hold a public workshop on the need for an animal shelter in Jamestown. Councilwomen Barbara Szepatowski says that since 2004, talks between Paws and Claws staff and the Town have resulted in an "on again - off again" plan. "With the Teen Center a huge success, the new Town Hall open, and the Highway Barn and Landfill Closure settled, now seems like the opportune time to get this project back on track and open."
Ms. McGuirl's eighth grade students will be present their senior project on the shelter, Paws and Claws will provide information on the number of animals they have cared for since 2000 and also the number fostered and re-homed due to a death in the family, the owner's moving, a lack of interest in their pet; or too busy a schedule.
"The 'Friends of the Jamestown Animal Shelter,' the non-profit generously incorporated by Attorney Emily Chamberlain, will be the overseer for the project," Barbara said. The Animal Shelter is proposed to be built and run with no taxpayer dollars, all private funding and grant money.
It is the hope of the "Friends of the Jamestown Animal Shelter" that the project will partner with the Jamestown Conservation Commission, the Conanicut Island Raptor Program, the Rhode Island Wildlife Rehabilitators, the Narragansett Bay Coyote Study, and the Jamestown Humane Society to build a Nature Center where all types of animals, birds, fish and habitat can be assisted, explored and respected.
On a personal note, Barbara sadly reports that "Ronnie," her beloved pit bull has died. "Without him I would never have gotten involved with the teens, the animals, Cal Ripken Baseball, and politics. I owe him a lot, well not for the politics, but for everything else." He was 13 years old and a 103-pound barrel of goofy love. 'Ron' was also a miracle child, surviving mast cell cancer for the last 2 1/2 years with no complications until the last two days.
"I honestly can say that dog dramatically changed my life. As a result, I want to finally make the Animal Shelter a reality, and do it for all the animals and people who need a little something extra added to their lives. Right now we are fostering a 17-year-old cat for a woman and her two kids who are in a domestic violence shelter where they are moved every night to protect them. We will have no contact with them until they are safely relocated. She was extremely relieved to know that her pet will be safe until she is safe. The amount of trust that goes into a program like this is incredible and so are the people we have met. We also have just placed the fourth of five cats from the December 2007 'foreclosure'. This sad situation is becoming more of a reality across the country.
"So I hope we can fill the room on the 27th and show the Town Council that we can do it and what an addition it will be to the town. It's only an hour of your time. Wear a yellow scarf, dress, or headband to show our positive, sunny outlook. If anyone has questions they can call me on my cell phone at 354-9200."
Let's have a big turnout for the animals.

Dorrie Linn, the buyer for the Beavertail Lighthouse Museum Gift Shop, says there's a full array of lighthouse-themed goods for the many visitors the BLMA anticipates will come through the doors opening for the season, beginning Saturday, May 24. The museum will be open Monday, Memorial Day, too, as well as the following three weekends before opening for the daily schedule, 10 to 4, from June 16 to Labor Day. There is no admittance fee, but donations are encouraged.
"All donations, and proceeds from items purchased, help build funds for the long list of restoration and repair projects BLMA President George Warner says are critical to preserving the historic buildings. The all-volunteer cleaning crew did such a nice job dusting, cleaning, wiping, vacuuming, polishing, and arranging things that the place looks great. George says you don't see the cracks in the plaster walls right away, but they are becoming more apparent," Dorrie said.
The BLMA aims to fix them all, and also, eventually, expand the museum space so that the fuller story of the light's fascinating past can be shared with visitors. Meanwhile, Dorrie said there's a nice supply of pirate-themed T-shirts, jewelry, and shark tooth pendants. For the kids, there are books, note cards, quality clothing with the image of the Beavertail Lighthouse emblazoned on them plus many other neat items. Visitors can learn all about the lights, horns, whistles, and sirens of the navigational aids used down through the years in and around the lighthouse in BLMA board member Varoujan Karentz's book, "Beavertail Light Station." Varoujan is donating all proceeds from the sale of his book to the BLMA.
Once again, Boy Scout Troop 1's Pasta Supper Saturday at St. Matthew's was a resounding success.
Bringing it all to you were the kitchen staff; Michael Brendlinger, kitchen team leader, Kyle Wright, Nathaniel Hopkins, Grandson Tom and Dylan Walsh: pasta help outside, Jim Perry and Nick Fay; waiter staff, team leaders Daniel Bailey and Hayden Maclean, Vaughn Nelson-Lee, Josh Nolan, Cameron Toppa and Sam DiGasper; first shift, first-year scouts Paul Zavislak, Ian Archibald, Milo DiGasper, Finn Dwyer, John Waddington and Truman Christie; second shift first year scouts Mason Kelly, Ryan Geib, Mike Pratt, Zachary Neronha, Jim Lowell and Owen Bartline; dessert staff, Eric Archibald, team leader, and Chris Waterman; additional backup, Brian Volpe, Drew Matley and John Chase.
...............or its lovely promise won't come true.
The items are rolling in for the live and silent auctions to be held at the 2nd annual Jamestown PTO's Golf Tournament.
Karen Raffanelli reports that donations to date include Red Sox tickets, dinner party for eight from chef Kevin Gaudreau, one week summer camp from Talent Factory, two tickets to a Neil Diamond concert Aug. 23 at Fenway Park, two season passes for the Newport Gulls, and two hours of housecleaning.
The tournament will be played on June 14 at the Jamestown Country Club.
The PTO and Jamestown school on Lawn Avenue are in need of "gently used" tennis rackets for the schools upcoming tennis club. If you've retired from the courts or gave up trying, consider donating your racket and dropping it off at the school.
A Snapple cap moment: Honeybees are the only insects that create a form of food for humans.
Memorial Day will be observed on Monday. Please fly your flag.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A host had gone missing for the 2013 Emmy nominations on Thursday, so in stepped — who else? — Neil Patrick Harris.
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said actress Kate Mara from "House of Cards" was unable to make it because her plane had a mechanical malfunction and couldn't take off from Santa Fe, where she is on location. So Harris stepped in to co-host with Aaron Paul of "Breaking Bad."
"Special thanks to Kate Mara for getting me out of the house before my children wake up screaming and crying," Harris joked as the early morning announcements began. "I actually appreciate that."
Harris, who has signed up to host the Emmys broadcast in September, joked after the announcement about all the awards shows he hosts. He hosted the Tony Awards in June and was nominated for an Emmy as producer and host of last year's Tonys.
"The Telemundo Awards keep trying to get me and I say 'no gracias' because that's pretty much all the Spanish I speak," Harris said. "The Westminster dog show is constantly wanting me to be a part of it, but I don't know how to do the fast walk. ... And I'm not comfortable touching the loins of animals, it just doesn't seem like it fits into my skill set.
"My kids are now in preschool so I suspect I'll be asked to host their graduation," he continued. "I don't think I'll be able to find the time. It's just that there's no teleprompter."
Last year, Nick Offerman of "Parks and Recreation" was unable to co-host the Emmy nominations with Kerry Washington of "Scandal" because of travel delays and Jimmy Kimmel filled in, wearing pajamas.
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' Emmy ceremony will air Sept. 22 on CBS.

I don't have a belly putter. Or much of a belly either.
But if I had a belly putter, my stomach would be hurting today.
What's a belly putter? If you must ask that question, then count yourself fortunate.
It means you're not among those who are cursed with the golf addiction. It's a malady so powerful that it reduces grown adults to tears. It's a force that compels sane and intelligent people to pay good money to be humiliated, on a fairly regular basis.
For these lucky souls, let me explain. A belly putter is a long club that golfers use to strike a golf ball into the hole on a green. But instead of holding the putter only in the hand and swinging it, the top of a belly putter rests against the player's stomach or chest, where it's anchored. This allows the player to use his arms to swing more like a pendulum, theoretically providing a more consistent stroke.
Except such theories hardly ever hold true. In golf, the only truism is that the more money you spend on equipment like belly putters, the nicer the car that the guy who sells the equipment drives.
Unfortunately, the belly putter and golfers who use one just got kicked in the gut.
Last week, the U.S. Golf Association and Europe's Royal and Ancient, which are like the Supreme Court of Golf here and abroad, have decided to ban the belly putter. Essentially, they are agreeing with Tiger Woods. He said that the essence of putting is swinging the club and controlling nerves, not anchoring a club somewhere north of the lower intestines.
Easy for a guy who makes millions to say.
As someone who has played golf for more than 40 years, I can say this ruling gives me indigestion.
Golf isn't just impossible to master. It's a game that will drive you bananas. Mere mortals, in my opinion, need every edge they can get to keep from throwing their clubs into the closest pond and running off to do hot yoga.
I think this is another example of creeping encroachment of a f bloodless bureaucracy into the lives of a free and happy people. Who know where it might lead? Today, it's the belly putter. Tomorrow, the Golf Gestapo might decide to ban more stuff that makes the game enjoyable - drivers with heads the size of toasters, souped-up golf balls and drink carts that come every three holes.
To my way of thinking, a golf ball doesn't care whether it's struck by a club designed by NASA scientists or bunker rake. All that counts is how many times it takes to knock it in the hole. I think you should use anything to hit a ball - from a teaspoon to baseball bat. Only the score matters.
Still, I also know that golfers will adjust. There's one thing worse than giving up a club, and that's giving up the game. Golf addicts, with or without bellies, know that's never going to happen.

ADRIAN — Three Macomb County men convicted of a 2002 drive-by murder in Adrian are to be returned to Lenawee County Circuit Court in January for a hearing on evidence their attorneys claim as grounds for a new trial.
Attorneys for twin brothers Paul Daniel and Peter Daniel, 46, and for Leonard Dee McGlown, 46, met Monday in chambers with Circuit Judge Margaret M.S. Noe and Assistant Lenawee County Prosecutor Jonathan Poer. The attorneys agreed to another conference on Jan. 7 ahead of an evidentiary hearing ordered in November by the Michigan Court of Appeals.
The subject of the hearing is whether restraints the three defendants wore at trial prejudiced their cases.
A number of other appeal issues in the case are pending in the Court of Appeals, depending on how Noe rules in January.
Noe ordered Monday that the Daniel twins and McGlown be brought from prison to attend the evidentiary hearing on Jan. 24 and 25.
The defendants may ask Noe for a new trial after the two-day hearing, according to the Court of Appeals orders that remanded the case to circuit court.
All three men were sentenced in November last year to mandatory life prison terms without parole. They were found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy and firearms charges after a trial in October last year that featured separate juries for the Daniel twins and for McGlown.
The three were accused of shooting Marcus Newsom, 20, of Adrian, the night of Feb. 9, 2002. Newsom was alone in a car stopped at Park and College streets when he was struck by a volley of shots that witnesses said were fired from a van that sped away.
The Daniel twins and McGlown were in the back of a van when it was stopped by police minutes later as it was being driven out of Adrian.
The shooting was reported to be a case of mistaken identity. The defendants were reportedly seeking another Detroit-area man involved in a dispute with the Daniel family.
January hearing set in appeal of Adrian drive-by murder case

There is a strong association between diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension). A large number of diabetics have high blood pressure, and among hypertensive patients, diabetes is more common than among non-hypertensive patients. This means that patients with diabetes have a greater risk of being hypertensive, and hypertensive patients have a greater risk of being diabetic.
Whether diabetes can cause high blood pressure directly is unclear. Common precursors of diabetes, which can be accompanied by an increase in blood pressure include the following:
So it is difficult to say how much of the association between diabetes and high blood pressure is cause and effect, and how much is due to the common precursors of diabetes.
Both diabetes and high blood pressure cause vascular disease. So, the combination of diabetes and high blood pressure greatly increases the risk for:
Due to the increased risk of developing these conditions, diabetics should have their blood pressure well controlled.
While the limits for high blood pressure in the general population are defined as 140/90, diabetics should have a blood pressure of under 130/80.
For people over age 55, almost all the risk is linked to the systolic blood pressure (the upper number). Therefore, you should keep the upper number under 130 if at all possible. The diastolic pressure (the lower number) usually does not have to be treated separately.

D-Wash rules the day in first scrimmage
A lot has been said about Derrick Washington's increased speed and nimbleness, and it didn't take the senior tailback long to show them off in Missouri's first scrimmage of the preseason. On the first play Washington took the ball from inside his own 5-yard line and shot up the middle of the field for 73 yards.
That play began a productive day for Washington and sophomore tailback Kendial Lawrence as the Missouri offense beat the defense to win the scrimmage, 56-48.
"I think I'm one of the playmakers on the team," Washington said. "Anytime I get the ball in my hand I try to make the most of it and the O-line did their job so it made it easier for me."
Washington racked up 133 yards on seven carries and added 59 yards and a touchdown on three receptions. Lawrence had only 21 yards rushing but made one of the offensive highlights by scoring on a 60-yard touchdown pass.
"We can make it a lot easier," Lawrence said of the tailbacks. "If [junior quarterback Blaine Gabbert] dumps it off to us or hands it off to us, we can make some moves, get up the field and get the yards that we need."
Later on Washington added to his touchdown total by catching a pass from Gabbert around the opponent's 20-yard and scampering the rest of the way for a 47-yard touchdown. Overall it was a good start for the senior captain looking to bounce back from a down year in 2009.
"That's what you have to do," head coach Gary Pinkel said. "When you have starters that are returning, they have to play better than they did the year before or your team's not going to get better."
Apart from the big plays from Washington and Lawrence, the Tiger offense had trouble holding on to the ball throughout the scrimmage. Missouri fumbled the ball five times (losing four) and threw one interception.
"I just think that we looked a little rusty," Pinkel said. "I think we looked okay on
both sides of the ball if you look at the one offense, one defense. And okay isn't good enough."
Sitting on the sideline for the scrimmage was junior linebacker Will Ebner, still trying to get over a strained hamstring.
Compared to earlier in the week Missouri left the field relatively unscathed, though freshman wide receiver Jimmie Hunt injured an ankle and had a boot on it before the scrimmage finished. Pinkel said afterwards that Hunt was "fine."
The Missouri first team offense featured Gabbert completing 18 of 23 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore wide receiver T.J. Moe continued his impressive fall camp by catching nearly every pass thrown to him for seven receptions and 47 yards.
Defensively, redshirt freshman defensive end Michael Sam made plenty of noise with five sacks, a tackle for a loss and a 50-yard fumble recovery and return. PowerMizzou.com will have more on Sam's big day in another story later today.
As for players looking to move up the depth chart, freshman wide receiver Bud Sasser made his case with six catches for 80 yards and junior Jayson Palmgren saw some time with the first team offensive line.
Palmgren is battling redshirt freshman Justin Britt for the starting left guard spot.
"Justin Britt's a real good player," Palmgren said. "I just lost it a little bit in the spring and now I've got to come back and get it. I think I did pretty good today and he did really well I think. I don't know what's going to happen. We'll see after tomorrow when we watch some film."
On a day with many big offensive plays, sophomore Trey Barrow took his turn in the spotlight by nailing a 57-yard goal. But afterwards it was clear that the day belonged to the tailbacks, especially Washington.
"You can tell, he's primed and ready for a great season," junior defensive end Jacquies Smith said. "When I'm on the sideline, I'm gonna be checking it out because you can tell he's gonna have a lot of highlight reels for us."

NEW YORK (AP) — An ex-Army soldier who shipped two grenades back to the U.S. from his service in Iraq and then took them from Fort Bragg, N.C., to his home in New York City has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Anthony Cibelli pleaded guilty in September to transporting the grenades without a license. He was sentenced Thursday.
The 25-year-old Cibelli was discharged from the Army in 2010.
Authorities searched his Bronx home last December. They say they found two grenades on the roof outside his bedroom window plus four guns, two improvised explosive devices and ammunition.
Cibelli told officers he'd stashed the items in a container he shipped from Iraq to Fort Bragg. Prosecutor Preet Bharara (buh-RAHR'-uh) says Cibelli put himself and others in his neighborhood at risk.

LAKE HAVASU CITY, Arizona (AP) — A British tabloid will issue a correction Monday for a story stating Arizona's own London Bridge could be bulldozed to make way for drug tourism, Lake Havasu City officials said.
Philippa Kennedy, ombudsman for The Sun, said in a letter sent to city officials that the correction will be printed on page two of the newspaper, the Today's News-Herald reported.
Lake Havasu City Convention and Visitors Bureau CEO Doug Traub, who received the letter, said The Sun also plans to send a reporter to the city for a follow-up piece.
The Sun had reported the bridge was cracking, and Lake Havasu City planned to demolish it and turn the area into a haven for marijuana users called Hemped in Havasu. Marijuana is illegal in Arizona, except for the treatment of certain medical conditions.
Lake Havasu City officials heard about the story in The Sun after a local resident from a London suburb showed them a copy of the tabloid. They say it was a slap in the face, particularly when more than $600,000 in bridge improvements is planned for this summer.
"It's one of the most preposterous and inflammatory articles ever written about our city, and we will respond in kind," Traub said at the time before demanding a retraction and an apology from the newspaper.
The online edition of the article has since been retracted.
The bridge, which spans a channel between the shoreline and an island in Lake Havasu City, was sold by the British government in 1968 to Robert P. McCullouch, the city's founder. The bridge was dismantled in London, transported to Lake Havasu and reassembled during a three-year period.
It is the only bridge leading to the island where boats launch on Lake Havasu and one of the state's major tourist attractions. Some 12,000 vehicles cross it daily.
The improvements planned this summer — to drain water from one of the support piers and to create an entryway into the bridge to ensure workers' safety — would extend the life of the bridge by at least another 40 years, city officials said.

What's the sound when perfection goes poof?
Sunday, it was a thud, as New Orleans cornerback Jabari Greer batted away a fourth-down pass by the Atlanta Falcons, who were two yards away from a touchdown that would have kept them undefeated.
From 8-0 to 9 and ... oh, no!
So nobody's perfect in the NFL — but, on the opening weekend of the season's second half, there was ample imperfection to go around.
It was a comedy of errors on both sides when St. Louis went to overtime at San Francisco.
On the Rams' opening possession of the extra period, an 80-yard pass play to Danny Amendola was wiped out by an illegal formation.

2012 has been an eventful year in news and media and one captured brilliantly by some inspiring, provocative and hard-hitting front-pages.
The most visually stunning front pages of the year were produced by The Times during the Olympics with a series of wraparound front and back pages, the first of which was this shot on the very first morning of the Games.
Once the Games began all eyes were on Team GB and once the gold medals started flowing, Bradley Wiggins provided The Times with an image worthy of its golden masthead:
The highlight of the Olympics for many was 'Super Saturday' when Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and the face of the London games, Jessica Ennis struck gold in the Olympic stadium. The Independent on Sunday perfectly captured the iconic nature of Ennis's triumph:
Mo Farah also won gold on Super Saturday and when he completed his incredible double of the 5,000m and 10,000m the Sunday Times rose to the occasion, aided as in all these cases by stunning photography:
The Olympic Games were followed by the most successful Paralympic Games ever which started with a jaw-dropping opening ceremony and delivered some of the most inspiring performances of an unrivalled sporting year. Across the board the newspapers all gave the Paralympics pride of place on their front pages:
One of the most poignant front pages of the year was produced by The Mirror following the publication of the Hillsborough Report on 12 September. The report confirmed a major police cover-up had attempted to falsely blame the victims for the stadium disaster and The Sun newspaper had played a major part in spreading malicious lies. The Mirror on 13 September referenced The Sun's infamous and entirely false 'The Truth' headline for its own front page:
It has not been a good year for public inquiries or the strained relationships between the media, the police and the government. At the heart of that love-hate-triangle was the Leveson Report which finally published its recommendations, only for David Cameron to reject them before he had even had time to read them. The Independent made clear its thoughts on the ultimate futility of Leveson's efforts:
The need for the Leveson Inquiry was cited often and vociferously during some of the year's more controversial media stories, including when The Sun decided to publish naked pictures of Prince Harry cavorting behind closed doors in a Las Vegas hotel suite. The publication of the actual photos followed a front page recreation of Harry's naked cavorting by The Sun using a reporter and an intern.
The papers were united in their over-the-top coverage of news that Kate Middleton was pregnant. It brought to an end months of intrusive speculation by the papers (see: Press speculation, a royal baby and a link to Leveson). The Sun marked the occasion with a trademark pun:
A major story throughout 2012 was the issue of tax avoidance - from multinational companies such as Starbucks to individuals such as Jimmy Carr who The Times exposed in June:
Another far more grave story throughout the year has been the harrowing conflict and killing in Syria. The Independent on Sunday's stark front page warned readers of the gruesome images inside the paper while spelling out the horror of the Houla massacre:
The year also saw the victory of President Barack Obama in the US election, seeing off the challenge of Mitt Romney to secure four more years in the White House. The Times marked the occasion with a return of the wraparound front page:
A tragic story at the end of the year saw the latest gun massacre in a US school. The Independent on Sunday again ran a very stark, sombre front page, telling the heartbreaking story of a heroic teacher who gave her life to protect her students:

It's December 1962 and family and friends have gathered for a near-Christmas dinner. I've just gotten my first 35mm camera, a Kodak Retinette, and with the help of my trusty Kodak Master Photoguide, manage to ace this Kodachrome bounce-flash exposure. That's me, age 16, strategically positioned in front of my father, who's still in his supermarket work garb, so it's obviously not Christmas day. Next to me in front are Aunt Grace and Uncle Jack, my mother's oldest brother. At the time I probably thought his shirt/tie combo was corny, but now I love it. Mother's on the left looking pleased, perhaps because the serendipitous arrival of identical cards made for a pleasing symmetry in her card tree on the wall. In back, my brother and our friends Colleen and Bob. Bob had been my brother's Cal Poly college mate, and later lived with us a bit before marrying Colleen. View full size.

President Obama's reverent attitude toward himself appears to have filtered down through the United States government and its outposts around the world. He returned the bust of Winston Churchill to the Brits in the first days of his presidency, but his servants know that his task is not done. He means to demonstrate graphically to the Brits where they stand with him.
The American Embassy in London has unveiled a new tapestry of President Obama and depicts it via Twitter casting "a warm smile over guests at an event." Twitchy notes the "subtle placement" (click to enlarge).

Christina Aguilera Duets With Tony Bennett on 'Steppin' Out With My Baby'
Christina Aguilera is getting back to basics yet again. The singer, who adopted a jazz-inspired sound on 'Back to Basics' back in 2006, teamed up with legend Tony Bennett for his 'Viva Duets' collection.
The duo duet on 'Steppin' Out With My Baby,' and Aguilera adopts an unusually (for her) understated tone on the song. She doesn't do as many ad-libs or vocal trains as she normally does, resulting in an even balance with Bennett's signature, clipped style. The pair previously performed the duet twice, once in 2006 for Bennett's NBC special and again at the 2007 Emmy Awards. Aguilera looked like the classic Hollywood starlet from the 1948 era in which the track was written, with her blond bouffant and Marilyn Monroe-inspired pink gown.
Billboard reports that Aguilera is the latest in a slew of stars to share a mic with Bennett, who has previously recorded with the late Amy Winehouse, John Mayer and one-time Aguilera rival Lady Gaga. 'Viva Duets' is Bennett's latest collection of collaborations, focusing on Latin artists, including Marc Anthony and Gloria Estefan.
Perhaps Bennett is hoping to add more trophies to his likely cluttered shelf. He previously won two Grammys for his performances of 'Steppin' Out With My Baby' off of his MTV Unplugged album — and before you youngins' ask, yes, he was on MTV, and he rocked it!

Coulee Recollections
A look at the past…
Ten Years Ago
The bald eagle became the focus of hundreds of tourists last weekend as they flocked to the Grand Coulee Dam area to look at the national bird during the "Balde" Eagle Festival. "We doubled what we had last year," said Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce Pres. Tim Alling. The festival was "very much a success in that manner."
Several indicators of tourism show that people returned to the area last year after a very bad 2001 tourism season, but they are spending less than in 2000. Figures from the state Dept. of Revenue indicate tourists spent $776,350 to stay in the area last year, a 13 percent increase from 2001's $687,600.
A federal agency can't afford the cost of following federal rules, the Coulee Dam Town Council heard last week. As a result, the National Park Service will allow some of its lawn to go brown next summer due to the new, higher water rates in Coulee Dam. The new rates were recently adopted to pay off a $1.35 million loan to pay for the town's water filtration plant, required by the federal government to comply with the federal Surface Water Treatment Rule.
Donkey basketball returned to Lake Roosevelt High School last Wednesday. Winner of the game was the Raider track team, who also sponsored the event.
Twenty Years Ago
USBR officials are looking for ways to plug a $2.75 million dollar hole in this year's Grand Coulee Dam Project budget. Several possibilities exist, including not contracting work on facilities, cutting back on supplies and laying off or transferring workers.
The owner of a Coulee Dam service station wants to treat gasoline contaminated soil on-site, but city officials would prefer he use another, less unsightly option to solve his problem. Jim Dale Ray, co-owner of the Coulee Express Mini Mart, attempting to start the clean up last Wednesday but Mayor Rod Hartman halted the work.
The entire Grand Coulee Dam area could be included in a Grant County regional mass transit system now under discussion.
Planet Earth Players are off and running for their spring musical comedy, Cole Porter's "Anything Goes."
Junior Mike Murray is Lake Roosevelt's lone entry to Mat Classic V this weekend. The 122-pounder earned a regional title, contrasting with his six teammate's fortunes.
Lake Roosevelt High School students earned a 4.0 GPA for the second quarter included: Emily King, Sara Romero, Jamie White, Laura Day, Elizabeth Avey, Sara Lockenvitz, Greg Evans, Jeremy Hansen and Shane Moore.
Coulee Community Hospital's nursing home passed and unexpected annual state survey with flying colors, hospital officials said this week.
Thirty Years Ago
Parents are joining hands with their children, Wright School and the rest of the nation in an effort to save the Statue of Liberty.
The Nespelem Grade School will be having a dedication March 6. Everyone is cordially invited to the open house for new solar-heated Nespelem Grade School. There will be at the new facility, a potluck dinner, a chance to meet the school's staff and a Indian War Dance will be held.
The longest session in history for the Raider boys' basketball team came to a close when the final week of league competition was completed. The Raider varsity netters failed to alter their perfect winless record. The team was defeated by Omak.
The Lady Raiders traveled to Omak last week and seized a win from the Pioneers by t he score of 62 to 35. Shaunee Haugen was high scorer with 287 points.
Airman Bobb J. Burnside, son of Wade R. and M. Burnside of Grand Coulee, has completed Air Force basic training at Lackland Air Force Base, Tex. The airman is a 1982 graduate of Lake Roosevelt High School.
The Grand Coulee Dam area is proudly represented by a group of fourth, fifth and sixth graders going by the name of POPEYE, which stands for Preserve Our Physical Education for Youth Everywhere.
Forty Years Ago
Sharon Olson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Olson of Coulee Dam, was a judge in the 1973 Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow. She was selected by a score in a written knowledge and aptitude examination taken by both senior boys and girls on Dec. 5. Sharon will receive a specially designed award from General Mills.
Boy Scout Troop #107 of Grand Coulee, sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spent Friday night and Saturday at Summit Lake. Scouts present were Kevin Bateman, Wayne Jesse, Mark Schmidt, Mike English, Jim Rice, Rick Treim, David and Fred Stuker, Dale and David Thornton, Charles Baxter, Eric Durfee and Jeff Ervin.
Fifty Years Ago
The Grand Coulee PTA met with a full and interesting program. Denise Perkins spoke on "Lets Go Shopping." Bill Trefry chose the subject "Ten Little Autos" and Jim Hickery spoke on "How to be Miserable."
Sixty Years Ago
Norman Larson Q/M, UNS, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Larson of Grand Coulee, has been assigned to Bainbridge, Maryland, to attend school of electronics engineering for four months. Norman traveled from Pearl Harbor to Bainbridge by airplane.
On Feb. 1, Mr. and Mrs. Evan Jensen of Grand Coulee entertained with a dinner in honor of the 35th wedding anniversary of her parents Mr. and Mrs. R.W. Whyatt of Nespelem.

Letters of Recommendation
Letters of recommendation are the most important part of any application package. This is the reviewers only way to see if you are as good as you look from your statistics. The faculty who write your letters of recommendation can give insight into your ability to do research and what kind of student you are. You need to have good recommendation letters, glowing would be even better. In order to get the letters you need, you will need to select faculty who know you. Good choices would be someone who has:
- Advised your Undergraduate Research
- Taught two or more of your classes
- Been your Mentor
- Taught an upper level course
- Any combination of the above
Asking for a Letter of Recommendation
You will also need to know how to ask for a letter of recommendation. Do not leave a form in their departmental mailbox with a Post-It attached asking for this letter in two days. You will need to meet with the faculty member and ask if they could write a good letter for you. Make sure you ask early enough that they can write the letter in addition to their many other commitments. Two or three weeks is the minimum time between when you drop off the information and the deadline. Provide the professor with your resume, transcript and any other information which may be useful while writing.
Do not be afraid to call as a friendly reminder about one week before the deadline. Ask if they need any more information? Keep in mind that too many phone calls could be irritating, but one could be a welcome reminder.

A STRANDED woman feels no-one cares whether she lives or dies as she is marooned in her cottage by flood water with storms on the way.
Jacky Smith of Severn Cottage, Lanes End, Kempsey is stuck in her home on the banks of the Severn, where she lives alone, as the waters continue to rise around her. She was so cut off her friend and neighbour, Sue Price (pictured), could not even wade out to her in wellies.
Another band of heavy rain with coastal gales was due to sweep in during yesterday (Friday) evening, moving quickly east across the UK early tomorrow (Saturday). This is expected to be followed by frequent heavy and squally showers with further disruption due to flooding likely, say the Met Office.
The 57-year-old, who has not been able to leave her home since Wednesday, said: "I am marooned. The flooding has got a lot worse since they put the pumps in. The neighbours have also had to put sandbags at the gate." She said the £1.7 million flood defences which opened in July 2012 and protect 70 homes do not protect her home. She says the defences guard against flooding from the Hatfield Brook rather than directly from the river and, if anything, make things worse for her by pumping excess water from the brook back into the Severn.
She said: "No-one at the Environment Agency has contacted me to make sure I am okay. As far as they know I could be dead or alive down here. They're busy running backwards and forwards to the pumps and patting themselves on the back for that. I am fed up. It's just been constant since the middle of December.
"I have had only half a dozen days when I have been able to get out of my property. I feel like I'm in the middle of the river and that the Environment Agency hasn't bothered. I haven't reported it but they should know. I can see the water rising. It's going up all the time. I'm hoping against hope that it doesn't come over the defences. If it comes over my flood doors and into the house again I will throw my keys in the river and walk away."
The property has two 'hermetically sealed' steel flood doors but the water is already several inches up the side and rising fast. Her son has been able to get her essentials but she says she struggles even to climb over the flood doors because she suffers from osteoarthritis. She paid £25,000 for the home's flood defences, including having the walls sealed with plastic, flood doors and a pump installed while she says others, who have not paid a penny, are protected by the main defences.
One of the pumps which clears water from the Hatfield Brook and pumps it back into the River Severn kicked in automatically yesterday (Friday) but a team from the Environment Agency has been on site in Kempsey, 24 hours a day, since Christmas Eve. Their job is to monitor water levels and activate the pumps manually if the automatic system fails.
A spokesman for the EA said: "The lady concerned at Severn Cottage, Lanes End is located in the part of Kempsey village outside that covered by the flood alleviation scheme. Being undefended, they flood as the river Severn rises across the flood plain. We have checked and can confirm that this property is not registered on our full flood warning service (awareness of the service is high in the village of Kempsey should they want to register).
"Without knowing her telephone number we do not know whether she has opted out of the extended warning direct system, where a national initiative registered land lines of properties in the flood plain. Worcestershire fire and rescue are available if she needs rescue support."
The Hatfield Brook is expected to peak at between 6.95m and 7.15m on Monday.
The latest flood warning information, updated every 15 minutes, along with advice on how to prepare for flooding, can be found at environment-agency.gov.uk/flood. Readers can sign up for free flood warnings on the EA website or by calling Floodline on 0345 988 1188 / 0845 988 1188

Each semester, students participate in a separate weekly series of student seminars where they give presentations on a variety of subjects which will hone their communication skills preparing them for future presentations in a classroom or national meeting.
Thesis research is conducted with one of sixteen full-time or adjunct faculty members. Students select a faculty mentor at the end of their first year and immediately begin their thesis research. The department maintains a high level of extramurally funded research in a variety of areas, including protein biochemistry, enzymology, structural biology, cancer biology, gene expression, protein-nucleic acid interactions, cell-surface events, and intracellular and extracellular signaling.
The program requires a series of three qualifying exams in the first 2 ½ years, including an oral exam covering basic biochemistry, a written thesis proposal, and the preparation and defense of an NIH-style grant proposal. The average time to complete the Ph.D. program is five years.

Referring to my previously posted monograph on Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), I'd like to add a few notes. One is that most of the side effects I referred to in that piece, specifically hot flashes and sweating, seem to vary a great deal based on where the herb comes from. The herb I have used from Pacific Botanicals, Zack Woods Herb Farm and my own garden has yet to cause any of these problems in anyone, including myself, even in larger doses. The taste of this high quality, American grown root is also very different than anything I've gotten from India, even through normally good suppliers. And since the taste from the root harvested from my garden is nearly identical to that of the two farms referred to above, I tend to think this indicates how very good the quality is.
One significant characteristic of long term use of Ashwagandha I previously glossed over, is it's amazing ability to stabilize blood sugar. This has been confirmed in studies and passes over well into actual practice. I've personally found it so effective that I no longer get low blood sugar and pressure EVER, even when I make the less than perfect food choices that usually throw me off (you know how brownies can just beg to be eaten.….).
This from Todd Caldecott:
"Diabetes: The hypoglycemic, diuretic and hypocholesterolemic effects of roots of Ashvagandha were assessed in six patients with mild NIDDM and six patients with mild hypercholesterolemia. The treatment consisted of the powder of roots over a 30 day period. At the end of the study, researchers noted a decrease in blood glucose comparable to that of an oral hypoglycemic drug, and a significant increase in urine sodium and urine volume, coupled with a decrease in serum cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL (low density lipoproteins) and VLDL (very low density lipoproteins) cholesterol, with no adverse effects noted (Andallu and Radhika 2000)"
Now, notice that it says it caused a significant increase in urine volume, which would make you think that it would make low blood pressure worse, right? Well, I haven't experienced any increase in urine volume and as I said above, it has definitely helped my low blood pressure and my blood sugar levels. I notice that some plants may work simply by lowering blood sugar while other plants, such as Ashwagandha, seem to rebalance the HPA axis and thus effect the insulin process however needed. I have certainly used Ashwagandha with clients with varying states of blood pressure and hypo or hyperglycemia, all with good results as long as the general indications for the herb are present.
Another interesting note is that due to it's nourishing effect on the endocrine system it can help to balance overly long menstrual cycles. For example, I have consistently had rather long cycles (averaging about 30 to 31 days) ever since my 1 year experience on birth control pills many years ago, but after using a low dose of Ashwagandha (3 drops of dry plant tincture, 2x per day) for a couple of months my cycle steadily shortened and is holding strong now at 28 days for the last several months. It has also reduced my previous one to two week long bouts of PMS (thanks also to the pill, along with some really great ovarian cysts) to less than 24 hours, and only noticeable in an annoying way for about 8 hours. It seems to get better every month too. I've also observed this pattern in a few of my clients as well. I've wondered if it could possibly shorten the cycle too much, but so far this hasn't been a problem, so perhaps modulates the cycle rather than simply shortening it, which would be consistent with Ashwagandha's nourishing, balancing tendencies.
And did I mention that it's been proven to (both in studies and clinical practice) be immunomodulatory? A very useful herb, even (or especially) in many cases of autoimmune disorders like lupus, where it is especially helpful with its anti-inflammatory properties. I do tend to recommend that clients back off of their dosage or stop it completely during a flareup though.
Refer to Caldecott's online article or the books, Adaptogens or Herbal Therapy & Supplements, both by David Winston for more info on the studies that have been done on Ashwagandha.

Nice! I'm definatley gonna grow this this summer!
How timely this is for me. My pancreas points are definitely under pressure and coming from a family with a very strong history of diabetes and having had gestational diabetes many years ago I need to be doing something to strengthen my pancreas and moderate my blood sugar I'll have to find a supplier of US grown products-any ideas ?.
I had no idea herbs could actually re-regulate the immune system! (If that is what is implied in the last paragraph, anyway.) I have rhuematoid arthritis and am planning on getting on an herbal/diet/excercise regimen when I get out of college, and this definitely gives me hope for the future, moreso than the idea of just exchanging western treatments (antiflammatories, chemotherapy, tnf inhibitors, etc) for its herbal equivalant. I know that the drugs (I refuse to call the medicines) are "disease modifying" but it doesn't seem like they get to the root of the problems… glad to hear that there's something out there that might!
thanks for the great post, as usual!
How funny, I've had a natural attraction to peach & rose the past few years for no apparent reason…. Our bodies want what they need. Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep it in mind 🙂
I had no idea Ashwagandha was going to do this. I started, upon reading Kiva Rose's advice, on Milky Oat Tops tincture for chronic fatigue 6 months ago (after over 20 years of living a very low-functioning life). After a month, I could tell it was working, so I eagerly added, per Kiva, some tincture of Ashwagandha and some of dried Nettle Seeds.
3 years ago, when I started on insulin, my blood sugar average was 400–without eating carbs. Now, after several months on Ashwagandha, my blood sugar is so steady and stable, I am hardly using any insulin at all. Used to inject 6 times a day to keep it under control; now, just once. This is on top of a very-low carb diet and lots of nutrient-dense foods and oils.
My doctor told me that for a diabetic, if your blood sugar is under 180 two hours after eating, that is really good. Lately, two hours after eating, my blood sugar has been, maximum, in the 130's. It's like a miracle, and I had no idea the Ashwagandha was going to contribute like that. I've almost got my whole life back. Thank you, Kiva Rose.

Traditional acting programs train the actor for live performance on stage. But, for the contemporary actor who works mostly in front of the camera, the demands are vastly different than those of the stage.
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 11, 2014
Pace University is meeting the demands of today's rapidly evolving entertainment industry with a new degree program from Pace Performing Arts (PPA), a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Acting for Film, Television, Voice-overs and Commercials. The program is a pioneering rethinking of actor training in the age of entertainment and technology.
Today's actor works predominately across the mediums of film, television, voice-overs and commercials – platforms grounded in the technology of the camera, lens, microphone and editing process. The first of its kind to focus entirely on training the actor for work in front of the camera and microphone, the program will be accepting students in fall 2014.
"This new program is geared to aspiring actors who want to work in film, television, voice-over and commercials," says PPA Chair Jorge Cacheiro. "Traditional acting programs train the actor for live performance on stage. But, for the contemporary actor who works mostly in front of the camera, the demands are vastly different than those of the stage. The training in the new program is geared to the subtly and intimacy of camera work." Acting for Film, Television, Voice-overs and Commercials is the culmination of Cachiero's decade-long commitment to expand contemporary training for actors at the undergraduate level.
Pace Performing Arts, housed within the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, has a suite of programs that are leading edge. "Pace Performing Arts prepares our students to succeed in today's performing arts industry and beyond, by combining state-of-the-art programs with a strong liberal arts foundation. During the past two years, Pace Performing Arts has established eight revamped and new degree programs that address gaps in the performing arts educational environment. Because of our forward thinking curricula, our programs are in very high demand and our enrollment is highly selective," says Dyson College Dean Nira Herrmann.
Acting for Film, Television, Voice-overs and Commercials re-examines the training of the contemporary actor and media performer from top to bottom. It offers a fresh approach to acting, incorporating continuous on-camera training, rigorous physical work including boxing and kickboxing techniques, and vocal preparation including work in recording studios and sound stages. All training is led by prominent artists and teachers and offers unique networking opportunities. With intimate studio classes, numerous performance opportunities, and an intensive four-year sequence of courses, Pace Performing Arts' new major readies the young actor for entry into today's multi-faceted industry.

BREAKING NEWS: Beck to 103.9 Columbus on Monday
The very day his program last aired on Clear Channel talk WTVN/610, Beck's website is announcing his move in the market Monday to North American Broadcasting adult hits WTDA/103.9 "Ted FM".
Well, maybe it's not announcing it exactly like that, as we quote the site:
Attention Fans from Columbus, OH:
THANK YOU! Because of your support and loyalty, we've found a new radio home in Columbus, OH.
Starting on Monday morning, tune in to 103.9 FM to hear the Glenn Beck Program from 10am-1pm every weekday!
You'll notice that Beck's site does not say "Tune to 'Ted FM'" or reference anything but the new affiliate's frequency.
Just how long will the adult hits format last on 103.9?
We point back to now-10 month old rumors that WTDA was heading for an FM talk format, rumblings we dutifully passed along way back in March.
"Ted", of course, has been airing Premiere's "Bob and Tom" in morning drive for some time now. The addition of Beck, though a different kind of show, gives it a solid talk block from 6 AM to 1 PM.
Any move to FM talk by WTDA is complicated by the fact that Clear Channel has gobbled up a lot of the traditional/conservative shows for its new WYTS/1230. Perhaps 103.9 goes shopping for shows like Neal Boortz and other shows not cleared in Columbus?
It would appear, as a guess from This Space, that 103.9 picking up any of the liberal/progressive shows left behind by 1230 is not in the cards. We could be wrong.
As far we know, North American has no talk radio experience whatsoever, so we have nothing to go on. (For that matter, we can't name any of the company's stations outside Columbus, if they even have any.)
But it sounds like they may be mounting Ohio's second new FM talk station, after Cumulus Cincinnati's WFTK/96.5 "SuperTalk FM".
Of course, the state's very first FM talk outlet is Media-Com Akron market station WNIR/100.1 Kent, which has been yakking since the early 1980's full-time - with midday host Howie Chizek taking the microphone back in 1973 (!!!).
But maybe WTDA can keep the "Ted FM" moniker, given the first name of the new Ohio governor...
14 comments:
Amazing listening to the TED-FM stream online no mention of any changes, Just automated "adult hits" as usual.
Good riddance. Now there's officially no reason to listen WTVN. That station has become a joke beyond a joke... except jokes are funny, and 610 is a radio wasteland now.
Let's roll down the talent casualty list over the past 18 months or so: Sterling, Curt Boster, Steve Cannon, Glenn Beck, and then long-term weather personality Pat Pagano. Can anyone possibily argue with any credibility that the station is better with the stiffs that have replaced these talented voices above?
Now wait, didn't Glenn claim he would not go to 1230 because of the "weak signal"?!? So he goes to a station with an even weaker signal?!? Yeah, sure, Glenn. It's not about money at all, is it? WTVN is so much better without this loudmouth and good, local talk with Riley.
Talking of the people "anon 9:25" mentions leaving, let's see if they're better or worse without them. Sterling... Riley's numbers are better. Boster... weekends, no one listening either way, plus he quit. Cannon... Hannity's numbers are better. Beck... Riley will take a hit at first, but I gurantee he does better after a few books. Pagano... I didn't care to hear this guy talk about his love for "Dancing with the Stars" for 3 minutes a morning, so I'll say having 10TV will be better. Just look at their ratings. Every change they've made has been better. Even Lehner and McCleary, as you didn't mention. No doubt they'll take a hit at first. You just don't pull of a show reaching 100k people and not. However, it's also the big stick and it'll be just fine. Good Riddance, Glenn Beck.

I'd add Boortz on delay from 1-4pm, then maybe go with a Don & Mike for PM 4-7pm. Entertaining, and male focused. Great compliment to B&T's AM drive. Maybe pick up a local, like Steve Cannon for 7-10p. And if available grab Savage for 10-1p, or Dave Ramsey (24 loop).
There's also a new younger skewing show called "Free Talk Live" that's gaining momentum. They could do nights, or just weekends.
FM Talk can go the conservative AM route, or be more aggressive. With B&T in AM drive, I would add Don & Mike for PM drive.
The above poster is EXACTLY right.
Talk about a weak signal!
103.9 is on the WOSU-TV stick in NE suburban Westerville. Which would be no problem, except it is a class A with a direction signal.
Nobody south of 161 can hear that station! Especially downtown where it gets COMPLETELY wiped out, even on the car radio, by all the big FM signals down there!
Nice to see Bruce Collins makes an appearance here at 10:03am. Folks, let's give him a round of applause. Clap. Clap.
I'm hoping one of your readers might know this bit of radio history.
I recall the first FM all-talk station in the U.S. was in Philadelphia. The calls WWDB stick in my mind, but I'm not sure if that's correct. Is that true, and what has happened to that station since?
WNIR may have been the second all-talk FM, and I heard of a New Jersey FM going all-talk, but I do not know the timeline.
All this would be 20 years or more ago, quite daring at a time when most owners believed FM meant "For Music".
Any of you good broadcast trivia/history buffs know the answers or have more info on this?
- Ohio Media Watch said...
Your memory serves you well.
WWDB/96.5 in Philadelphia was indeed that pioneering FM talk station. Memory seems to serve that they were indeed the first, as WNIR did not go fully into the talk arena until - if we remember right - about 1980 or 1981. (Howie's show pre-dates the full talk format, of course, by years.)
WWDB dumped talk at a very, very bad time...just days before the November 2000 election. We've long said that if they'd stayed talk after that election, they'd probably still be a talk station today, for presumably obvious reasons.
WWDB is now music outlet "Wired 96.5" (WRDW). It went through one or two music formats between the death of talk and now.
Yes I lived in the Philly area and used to listend to WWDB. For years they resisted picking up Rush, only local shows. Then in 1993 or so WWDB picked up Rush forcing my station in Trenton to give him up. The 96.5 signal dumped talk around 1999 or 2000, changed to Alice 96.5 I brelieve.
I remember listening to Howie Chizek for the first time on WBBW-1240 in Younstown in July 1971 While my family was on a vacation at Berlin Lake near Alliance. WOIO-1060 in Canton was one of the first Fulltime AM talk stations in a smaller market in the late 1960's..
in regard to the 103.9 fm format change in C-Bus....there will be a sports talk show 4-6pm on the station hosted by long time Columbus sportstalker Mark "The Shark" Howell...in fact, Howell made the announcement today on his weekend show on 99.7 fm that the station will be called "TalkFm" begining on Monday..as far as other shows...I havent heard any, but let me throw my vote in for "Opie and Anthony" from 1-4pm on tape delay.
Regarding Philly:
WWDB 96.5 was talk until 2000. After that, 80's as "The Point".
Flipped to CHR/Rhythmic as "Wild 965" and Clear Channel threw a fit due to trademarking. Station now "Wired 96.5", still with the CHR format and running very close with heritage Philly CHR WIOQ/Q102 in the ratings.
As for New Jersey, "New Jersey 101.5" is the talk station you mention. I BELIEVE they may play music in overnights and some weekend hours. I know they used to, with talk during the day.
5a to 10a Bob & Tom
10a to 1p Beck
1p to 4p Fox Sports
4p to 6p Mark The Shark
6p to 5a Fox Sports
More to follow
1039 WTDA Talk FM
Thank Goodness another Columbus station picked up Glenn. I only listen to the radio for him, But now have been sucked into the afternoon sports show. Grrreat Job 103.9!
Thank You
Bryan Westerville

Dean Zollman Named as 2014 Oersted Medal Recipient
College Park, MD, September 30, 2013—Dean Zollman has been named as the 2014 recipient of the prestigious Oersted Medal, presented by the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT). The Medal will be presented at a Ceremonial Session of the 2014 AAPT Winter Meeting in Orlando, FL in recognition of his significant contributions to physics education research and mentoring of a generation of PER researchers.
Zollman earned his B.S. and M.S. in Physics from Indiana University, Bloomington. His Ph.D. in Theoretical Nuclear Physics was earned at the University of Maryland, College Park. He started his career as Assistant Professor at Kansas State University in 1970, becoming Associate Professor (1977), Professor (1982), Distinguished University Teaching Scholar (1997), University Distinguished Professor (2001), and Head of the Department of Physics and William and Joan Porter Professor from 2001 to 2011.
A review of Zollman's CV reveals that he has achieved many of the milestones considered indicative of an intellectual giant in the physics education field – rising up the academic ladder to spend over 30 years as a full professor, authoring an extensive record of research publications with dozens of co-authors, securing an impressive record of consistent extramural funding for over three decades, and mentoring a long list of students and postdocs who have gone on to establish themselves in the field.
He served as AAPT Staff Physicist from 1975-1977 and was instrumental in the development of the AAPT workshop program that has become an important feature of the Association's Summer and Winter meetings. In 1981-82 Zollman was Visiting Associate Professor and NSF Faculty Fellow at the University of Utah. He has been a guest professor in Germany at Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich in 1989 and 2006 and at the Institute for Science Education (IPN) in Kiel in 1998 and 2007. During the 1989 and 1998 visits he was a Fulbright Research Fellow.
Zollman was recognized for his service to AAPT with a 1986 Distinguished Service Citation for his implementation of the workshop as an interface between knowledge and execution. He has directed workshops, served as a member of The Physics Teacher editorial board, served on the Computers in Physics Education Committee and on various task force groups.
In the early 1980's he began developing and studying the effectiveness of interactive videodiscs for teaching physics concepts and recently completed the Physics Pathway project, funded by the National Science Foundation, providing unique, online resources for under-prepared, in-service high school physics teachers.
Zollman has received numerous awards for his contributions to physics education including the National Professor of the Year for Research Universities sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the National Science Foundation's Director's Award for Distinguished Teaching Scholars.
In 1995 AAPT recognized him as "a teacher who has made notable and creative contributions to the teaching of physics" and awarded him the Robert A. Millikan Medal
His work developing educational software has been recognized by the American Institute for Physics with awards for Outstanding Educational Software for Spectroscopy Suite presented in 1997 and Energy Band Creator, presented in 1998
Zollman has also been active in international education as it related to physics. He has conducted collaborative research with physics educators in Europe and Asia and has hosted many international visitors at Kansas State. He served three terms as the US representative on the International Commission for Physics Education, two of them as Secretary.
"Dean has touched the lives of a very large number of students by profoundly influencing the way physics is taught in the classroom. I personally have learned more about physics teaching and learning from Dean than I can express in words. I know of no other person who is more deserving of the AAPT Oersted Medal than Dean Zollman," noted Dr Chandralekha Singh.
About the Award
Some previous Oersted award winners are F. James Rutherford, George F. Smoot, Mildred S. Dresselhaus, Carl Wieman, Lillian McDermott, Hans Bethe, Edward Purcell, and Richard Feynman. The complete list of recipients can be found at http://www.aapt.org/Programs/awards/oersted.cfm.

Windows Phone 7 is a new and young platform, and while reviews have been very positive, we don't know much yet of consumer response. Carriers and device makers seem lukewarm at best - HTC, Samsung, and LG are much more interested in Android than in Windows Phone 7, and I can't really blame them.
At the same time, Android is already a major and established player, bigger than iOS and - depending on the figures - bigger than Symbian. And Google got there without Nokia's help. In other words, Google doesn't need Nokia, which means Nokia's negotiation position with Google is not a good one. In such negotiations, Nokia would need Android - but Android wouldn't need Nokia.
During the Q&A during Nokia's Capital Market Day, Elop said that Android did not allow them to differentiate enough. This seems weird, since Android is considerably more open and free than Windows Phone 7. However, I think what he meant is that Nokia would not have a say in the actual development direction of Android. And this is where Microsoft comes in.
The press release makes it clear that Nokia will get a considerable say in Windows Phone 7's development, and this is the crux of the matter. With Windows Phone 7, Nokia can differentiate from the inside-out, whereas with Android, all they could do was be at the mercy of Google and develop skins. Nokia had a much stronger negotiation position while dealing with Microsoft than while dealing with Google, and as such, Nokia managed to get a lot of influence not just after a new version is released, but also during its development.
And this is why Nokia went with Windows Phone 7. And it makes sense, too. No phone maker currently has the kind of influence over Android that Nokia will have over Windows Phone 7. In other words, while Nokia will no longer develop their smartphone operating system in-house, they still have more influence over their OS than Samsung, HTC, and LG do. And that's the key.
A lot of people are sad that MeeGo will not be Nokia's main platform. For MeeGo, this is bad news. For Nokia, however, this is great news. MeeGo's development is incredibly slow, and would maybe lead to just 1 (one) (!) device this year. That's not enough. That's too late. If you care about Nokia (as I most certainly do), you can't with a straight face advocate they stick to such a platform. If you care about MeeGo and don't give a rat's bum about Nokia - well, that's a different story.
As far Symbian is concerned - it's been a dead end ever since the iPhone was released. We're four years down the line, and Nokia still hasn't managed to create a compelling touch-based interface for this otherwise decent mobile operating system. While I'm all for as much competition as possible, I can also see when a platform has run its course. Symbian is done for, it's dead, and I'm glad it's getting buried. It's a relic. I'm hoping the open source community can keep it alive for us enthusiasts, but for Nokia's future, it's a liability, not a strength.
I'm incredibly excited about this deal. I've fallen in love with Windows Phone 7, but at the same time, I was a little scared of its prospects since it didn't really have a truly dedicated phone maker backing it. My HD7 is a great device (review coming up), but nor HTC, nor Samsung, nor LG really care about WP7 all that much. This deal with Nokia will ensure the survival of the platform, and that makes me happy.
It will also ensure Nokia's survival (I'm pretty convinced about that), and in the long run, that's a great thing. They would've drowned in the Android world, they would've sunk into irrelevance waiting for MeeGo, and they would've faced the eternal great hardware/bad software-problems with Symbian.
