    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Amendment of Section 73.3556 of the ) MB Docket No. 19-310 Commission’s Rules Regarding Duplication of ) Programming on Commonly Owned Radio Stations ) ) Modernization of Media Regulation ) MB Docket No. 17-105 Initiative ) Reply Comments of Kern Community Radio This reply comment is from nonprofit Kern Community Radio (“Kern”). Kern is a prospective non-commercial community broadcaster in Bakersfield, California. Kern is supplying this comment to shed light on the reality of how duplicated- and rebroadcast- programming is an epidemic. Redundant and relayed programming is hollowing-out local radio, vastly reducing programming diversity, and frustrating diverse new broadcast entrants. This reply is being filed as a response to National Association of Broadcasters’ (“NAB”) comment stating that diversity has increased on the dail, advocating the lift of the duplication rule. Kern provides proof in this reply that the program duplication rules need to be expanded to ensure local programming diversity and allow for new entrants. About Kern Community Radio Members of Kern Community Radio had desired to pursue a non-commercial, educational community radio station for Bakersfield in 2006 due to the total absence of any local local secular non-commercial radio. Bakersfield, a metropolitan area of roughly 840,000 people, does not have one local-studio secular, non-commercial radio station. That includes no secular LPFM, no local-content NPR station,1 no community station, or no college station. The entire non-commercial FM band except for one station is all relayed via satellite from chiefly religious broadcasters from Texas, Idaho, and Northern California.

Global communication at the speed of light has become a great asset to both businesses and private citizens. However, there is a dark side to the age we live in as it allows terrorist groups to communicate, plan, fund, recruit, and spread their message to the world. Given the relative anonymity the Internet provides, many law enforcement and security agencies investigations are hindered in not only locating would be terrorists but also in disrupting their operations.

    Sam Harris Interview Part Four

    SAM HARRIS INTERVIEW PART FOUR NOTE: This transcript was generated by the service Rev.com, and though it’s quite good, it is imperfect. If you would like to quote anything from this episode you are welcome to! But please find the point in the audio where the quote originates, and verify that the transcript is accurate. If Rev’s transcript is inaccurate, we ask that you only post or publish a version of the quote that you deem correct (because your ears are awesome!). Hello again, Ars Technica listeners. This is the fourth and final installment of a four-part interview with neuroscientist, New York Times bestselling author, podcaster, and controversial public intellectual, Sam Harris. We’ll pick up with the uplifting theme we left off on yesterday. Which is to say, high tech weaponry that tomorrow’s nihilistic, suicidal mass murderers might just use to kill very large numbers of us. Before we get started though, a quick note of orientation. As those of you who listened to last week’s interview with UCSF neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley know, I originally thought this podcast series would be a limited set of just eight episodes connected to my latest science fiction novel, which is also called After On, and which came out last summer. But the podcast acquired a life of its own, and I’m about to publish episode #38 in the series of eight. As you’re about to find out, these first eight episodes have a distinctive format, in that each of them ends with a conversation between me at Tom Merritt - who you might may from CNET, from TechTV, then later from Leo Laporte’s network, and now from Tom’s own videocast, Daily Tech News Show.

When we adults recall our favorite holiday memories, they usually center on enjoying special time with family and friends, not how clean the house was or how many different Christmas cookies were baked. Our best memories are built around relationships, DRESSING FOR THE both with each other and with Jesus.

    Reply Comments to Comment 36. David B. Carroll 19 February 2003 1. Class of Work From Comment #361: Audiovisual works as follows: foreign-language audiovisual works not available for sale in the United States but available for purchase outside the US on DVDs that are regionally encoded to prevent playback on DVD players purchased in the United States. The exemption requested is to permit circumvention of the region coding mechanism. 2. Summary of Argument Additional factual information in support of Comment #36’s initial request for an exemption is submitted. The proposed class is compared against a similar class from Comment #352, which offers some advantages over this class. 3. Factual Support / Legal Arguments 3.1.Evidence of a need to circumvent DVD region coding for works in this class. The Library’s solicitation for comments makes it clear that a demonstration of actual or likely damage is a prerequisite for a successful exemption, rather than an argument based solely on hypothetical or legal grounds. I have collected additional examples of, and documentation for, real-world demand for DVD content unavailable in Region 1 (“R1”) format. 3.1.1. DVD features unavailable on VHS. In rejecting an exemption for circumvention of DVD access controls in 2000, the Library of Congress wrote3: 1 Carroll, David B.
