WINTER 2013 Secretary St VOLUME XXVI NO. I SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION WINTER 2013 Secretary St. Onge presents 2013 State of SCDOT Report By Pete Poore ecretary of Transportation Robert St. Onge presented the 2013 State Sof SCDOT Report to the Senate Transportation Committee at its meeting on Jan. 16, 2013, in Columbia. Members of the Committee were there to hear about the financial health of the agency and the status of the state’s high- way system. St. Onge touched on a number of key areas including an update on the agency’s management reorganization, the condition and safety of the state highway system, the financial resources available as they relate to planning for the future, as well as current system needs and how transporta- tion infrastructure supports economic de- velopment. “SCDOT’s financial management is back on track,” St. Onge told the Com- mittee. He cited several key factors for the quick turnaround: • Invoices are paid within 30 calendar days or earlier. • All debt service including payments to the SC Transportation Infrastructure Bank (SCTIB) are on time. • Key personnel changes have been made to attain a solid financial manage- ment posture. • Implementation of SCEIS continues successfully. • SCDOT has established regular Pro- gram and Resource Analysis Meetings PHOTOGRAPHS BY ROB THOMPSON/THE CONNECTOR (PRAM) to ensure that financial resources In 2013, SCDOT continues the job of overcoming the challenges of reducing congestion on the highways and are available to fund the projected project bringing the condition of the roads and bridges up to “good,” while having limited resources to take on these schedules. tasks. • A two-year forward-looking cash vehicle and equipment needs as well,” St. ranks as the 4th largest state-maintained • 14 highway preservation projects to flow model has been developed.

  • Chic & Nile Rodgers – Ett Rockband För
    Lördagspremium: Chic & Nile Rodgers – ett rockband för discorörelsen Att kalla discomusiken för en fluga är att göra det alldeles för lätt för sig. Precis som med alla genrer som har så tydliga attribut och förtecken – hårdrock, punk, new romantic – är det lätt att göra narr av och underskatta discons inverkan på musikhistorien och populärkulturen i stort. Faktum är att alla vet hur discomusik låter och vad som kännetecknar den korta period den regerade på listorna. Och med tiden har dess simpla budskap om att dansa och ha roligt gång på gång omfamnats av det hårda, moderna samhället, lika mycket som dess musikaliska attribut gång på gång återanvänts i alla typer av dansmusik. Om man skrattar åt disco idag gör man det mer på grund av de hårresande utstyrslarna och de fåniga, om än stilbildande dansrörelserna än de de facto grymt svängiga låtarna och extremt detaljerade – och minst lika stilbildande produktionerna. Tiden har på många sätt gett discon rätt, åtminstone ur ett musikaliskt perspektiv. ”Tiden har på många sätt gett discon rätt” Precis som så många andra hårt arbetande svarta musiker i New York var Nile Rodgers, född 1952, uppvuxen med R&B, soul och jazz. Hans första betalda gig var dock någonting helt annat – som musiker i The Sesame Street Band, som gjorde musiken till barnprogrammet med samma namn. Efter att ha backat bland andra Screamin Jay Hawkins på legendariska Apollo Theatre träffade han 1970 basisten Bernard Edwards – som han för all framtid skulle komma att kalla ”min partner” – och tillsammans kompade de ett stort antal mer eller mindre kända artister innan de bildade sitt eget Big Apple Band, som hade några mindre lokala hits i början av 70-talet.

  • Nile Rodgers in New York City, 1991
    Nile Rodgers in New York City, 1991 68 MUSICAL EXCELLENCE Nile Rodgers HE CREATES A DISTINCTIVE SOUND ON THE RECORDS HE WRITES, PRODUCES, ARRANGES, AND PLAYS ON. BY ROB BOWMAN Nile Rodgers’ influence on popular music over the past forty years is nearly unfathomable. As a guitarist, songwriter, producer, arranger, and funkster extraordinaire, Rodgers has left his imprint on a stun- ningly wide array of genres including disco, R&B, rock, mainstream pop, hip-hop, and EDM. Looking over the breadth of his career, a case could easily be made that no single individual has had a greater impact on the sound of pop, from the late 1970s to the present day. ¶ Alongside his partner, bass player wunderkind Bernard Edwards, Rodgers wrote and produced hit after hit for Chic, Sister Sledge, and Diana Ross, tearing up both the dance floor and the radio. After Chic broke up and Rodgers and Edwards went their separate ways, Rodgers broke free of the disco moniker and reinvented himself, producing, arranging, and playing guitar on David Bowie’s come- back album, Let’s Dance (1983), and Madonna’s breakout album, 69 Like a Virgin (1984). Along the way he took INXS and Chic in their prime then Duran Duran to new heights with “Original Sin” with Rodgers and and “The Reflex,” respectively, and produced albums by Bernard Edwards Mick Jagger, Jeff Beck, the B-52s, and David Lee Roth. center stage, 1979 He played key guitar parts on Steve Winwood’s “High- er Love” and Michael Jackson’s HIStory. More recent- ly he cowrote and played guitar on Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” winning two Grammy Awards in the process.

Comment Date: 60 Days After Publication in Federal Register Reply Comment Date: 90 Days After Publication in Federal Register I. INTRODUCTION 1. In accordance with Sections 309(a) and 310(d) of the Communications Act of 1934 (the 1934 Act), the Commission issues new radio broadcast licenses and approves the assignment and transfer of those licenses only when those actions are consistent with the public interest, 1 convenience, and necessity. Pursuant to its public interest authority, the Commission historically has sought to promote diversity and competition in broadcasting by limiting by rule the number of 2 radio stations a single party could own or acquire in a local market. In Section 202(b) of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the 1996 Act), Congress directed the Commission to revise its 3 local radio ownership rule to relax the numerical station limits in the ownership rules. In the almost six years since the Commission implemented this congressional directive, the local radio market has been significantly transformed as many communities throughout the country have experienced increased consolidation of radio station ownership. In this proceeding, we seek to examine the effect that this consolidation has had on the public and to consider possible changes to our local radio ownership rules and policies to reflect the current radio marketplace.
