BOMBS WHICH BURN 1 People animals birds are killed by bombs, rockets, missiles. LAND MINES 2 People animals birds are blown apart by mines of war profiteers both when forced into service as dolphin or dog minesniffers or as unsuspecting victims of mines... A rhino whose legs were turned to jelly by a landmine in Africa was one of billions of animal, bird and other victims of landmines. USE OF ANIMALS AS WEAPONS CARRIERS 3 The US Navy has electroshocked porpoises and turned them into weapons carriers. (See Day of the Dolphin by Lilly) EMBARGOED SHIPS 4 Animals die on livetransport ships in wartorn ports after standing in their own waste, dying of hunger and thirst BOMBING OF OIL REFINERIES 5 Whales, dolphins, fishes, turtles, sea birds are killed in oil spills from bombing power plants.15,000 tons of oil have been dumped into the Mediterranean by the Israeli bombing of a Lebanese power plant. ZOOS BULLDOZED AND BOMBED 6 Animals are bulldozed (killed or backs broken) in zoos in wartorn areas.* The Nazis bombed London zoos. Churchill retaliated bombing the Berlin Zoo. The Israeli Defense Force bulldozed the Gaza Zoo, breaking the backs of those who survived deaths by crushing. ENTOMBED BY BOMBS 7. Bears and other animals are sealed into Afghan caves by bombs WHALES DOLPHINS KILLED BY SONAR OF NAVY SHIPS 8 Naval warships' sonar kills whales. DEVOURED 9 Animals are seized, slaughtered and eaten by armies. 10 Animals disoriented by bombs run away from their homes. REFUGEE AND SOLDIER ABANDONMENT www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 2 11 Animals are abandoned by refugees and by soldiers ordered overseas. INSTITUTIONAL SHUT DOORS 12 Animals are not allowed in to all refugee camps. The US Red Cross after a worldwide outcry re its gunbacked separation of people from animals has begun to change its rules on this. ANIMAL HABITAT DESTROYED 13 Animal habitat (trees, orchards, vines, plants, watersheds) are destroyed by daisy cutter, bunker buster and other bombs, cruise missiles etc. DEPLETED URANIUM 14 Depleted uranium is giving animals as well as people cancer,81 times the average in Baghdad. BOMBING OF REFUGEES 15 Animals as well as people have died as supply convoys were foiled by bombed roads and bridges, and as convoys have been fired upon. In the Highway of Death bombing directed by G H W Bush,250,000 white flagged surrendering soldiers as well as refugees with donkeys, cats, dogs, goats, cows, chickens etc. were carpet bombed and bulldozed into graves. UNABLE TO ESCAPE ROPES 16. Some abandoned animals are left tied up without war and are dying of thirst and or heat or cold UNCONSCIOUS DRIVERS 17. Motorists racing to get out of bombing areas are mowing down goats, cats, dogs, chickens, sheep on the roads. PROPELLER AND TANK DEATHS OF BIRDS, MARINE MAMMALS, FISHES 18. Naval warships carve up marine mammals in their propellers as jetfighters carve up birds in their propellers. Tanks have crushed untold trillions of small mammals, ground nesting birds, frogs, snakes, ants in anthills, and countless other species. Tanks destroy sapling trees and add to desertification of the planet. ALCOHOL RELEASED ABUSE 19. American soldiers drinking have shot tigers and lions in the Baghdad Zoo. CHECKPOINT VIOLENCE 20. Donkeys and dogs have been shot at Israeli govt checkpoints NASA VIOLENCE 's military missions have involved secreting animals aboard. This is unpublicized. Many secreted animals www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 3 were with the astronauts blown apart by Lockheed and other Bonapartes MILITARY RESEARCH 22 Animals die in military weapons research labs. Primates have been irradiated at Barnes Air Force Base in Texas. 23 They have been put in restraining chairs for months at a time in astronaut studies at Bethesda Naval and elsewhere. 24 Animals die in military contract 'vaccine' research. 25 When PETA was successful in cancelling the US Dept of Defense use of living dogs as target practice for the (unnecessary) training of surgeons, the DOD simply substituted goats, making them truly scapegoats. 26. Chemical and biological weapons from weaponized anthrax to nerve gases have been developed on captive animals for many decades. Recently biological weapons developed by George Merck of the Merck pharmaceutical company were destroyed after 45 or more years in storage. 27. In weaponized anthrax development by the CIA and Ft Detrick,4000 primates were detroyed in just 1 experiment before captive primates and 1 billion dollars was given to Battelle of Tennessee. The books of Leonard Horowitz document the abuse. For a list of other atrocities, see MILITARY SURVIVAL TRAINING 28. US soldiers in survival training are taught to club, knife and otherwise kill animals from Dugway Proving Ground in Utah to Okinawa. In the war of the Israeli government against the Lebanese people, a million animals died in an oil spill created by a power plant bombing. Cows have died of thirst on boats unable to land liveshipped animals. Animals have died as relief supplies can't get into the many crisis areas. The Olmert regime fired upon relief workers. www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 4 O Anna Niemus www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 5 1 Flagwrapped Exhortations By War Profiteers To Young Victims 'It is your patriotic duty' said a war profiteer on the airwaves rented against their will from Americans by a dual citizen, a fellow armsmonger, for pennies.. airwaves from which he had made billions... The war profiteer's injunctions were broadcast to the young men and women of America as he exhorted them to walk onto the altar of sacrifice and shed their blood or be horribly maimed, burned, bomb-castrated, missile-blinded, for the mammon and ancient emnities of plutocrats. These professional haters had no allegiance to America.... .... their money was safe they thought in the Bahamas or Switzerland... as they made deals with the Chinese. What is the gift of traitor US senators to you? a flagwrapped present containing the WMD's of the people's destruction. O Anna Niemus www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 6 1 Iran, Magi Astrologers As neocons within the Bush and Obama networks push for war against Iran, one remembers that the first Gentiles to come to worship the baby Jesus were Persian Magi (Iranian astrologers.) God foil the neocon plans. O Anna Niemus www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 7 1 Mad Cow Jello Brand And Mad Deer Gillibrand Mad Deer promoted by Gillibrand. Mad Cow in murdered mammal bones' Jello brand. Hunters spread the gelatinous bones of innocents polluting the land. **** NY Governor Paterson's own disability of blindness did not keep him from appointing a hunter whose poorshot peers frequently shoot arrows into the eyes of animals they stalk in the woods. The new senator from New York (it is the people and not governors who should elect replacements) is named Gillibrand. Animal rights activists are organizing for her removal in November of 2010 if not before.1 O Anna Niemus www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 8 1 Nih Lies To Children The National Institutes of Health has a coloring book for children which tells them that NIH researches on animals to cure them. What does God think of those who lie to children? *********************** (PCRM, Physicians' Comm.

    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

  • Station Ownership and Programming in Radio
    FCC Media Ownership Study #5: Station Ownership and Programming in Radio By Tasneem Chipty CRA International, Inc. June 24, 2007 * CRA International, Inc., 200 Clarendon Street, T-33, Boston, MA 02116. I would like to thank Rashmi Melgiri, Matt List, and Caterina Nelson for helpful discussions and valuable assistance. The opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of CRA International, Inc., or any of its other employees. Station Ownership and Programming in Radio by Tasneem Chipty, CRA International, June, 2007 I. Introduction Out of concern that common ownership of media may stifle diversity of voices and viewpoints, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) has historically placed limits on the degree of common ownership of local radio stations, as well as on cross-ownership among radio stations, television stations, and newspapers serving the same local area. The 1996 Telecommunications Act loosened local radio station ownership restrictions, to different degrees across markets of different sizes, and it lifted all limits on radio station ownership at the national level. Subsequent FCC rule changes permitted common ownership of television and radio stations in the same market and also permitted a certain degree of cross-ownership between radio stations and newspapers. These changes have resulted in a wave of radio station mergers as well as a number of cross-media acquisitions, shifting control over programming content to fewer hands. For example, the number of radio stations owned or operated by Clear Channel Communications increased from about 196 stations in 1997 to 1,183 stations in 2005; the number of stations owned or operated by CBS (formerly known as Infinity) increased from 160 in 1997 to 178 in 2005; and the number of stations owned or operated by ABC increased from 29 in 1997 to 71 in 2005.

  • How to Switch Programs on the XDS Pro Using Serial Commands Every
    How to switch programs on the XDS Pro using Serial Commands Every Program transmitted via the XDS satellite system is associated with a Program ID that identifies the program to the receiver. Individual programs may be selected to the receiver’s output ports by issuing serial ID commands via the M&C (Console) Port on the back of the receiver, thereby changing the program that the receiver is decoding. If a program is selected for decoding using this method that is NOT part of the station’s list of authorized programming, it will NOT be decoded. Only programs authorized for the station that the receiver is assigned to can be decoded. Whenever possible, always use the XDS Port Scheduler as your main method of taking a program to ensure you receive the proper content. You can command the receiver as follows: 1) Start a terminal session (using HyperTerminal or equivalent) by connecting to the receiver’s M&C (Console) Port. The default settings for this Port are 115200, 8, None, 1. 2) Hit Enter. You should see a “Hudson” prompt. 3) Log in by by typing LOGIN(space)TECH(space)(PASSWORD) (Use your Affiliate NMS (myxdsreceiver.westwoodone.com) password OR you can use the receiver’s daily password (Setup > Serial # > PWD). 4) Login confirmation will be displayed (‘You are logged in as TECH’) Once you are logged in, the command to steer a Port on the receiver to a specific program PID is: PORT(space)LIVE,(Port),ID Examples: PORT LIVE,A,99 – This command will set Port A to Program ID 99 (Mark Levin) PORT LIVE,B,1196 – This command will set Port B to Program ID 1196 (CBS Sports - Tiki and Tierney) Please refer to the PID table listed below for the Program ID assignments for each program available on the Westwood One XDS receiver.

    800.275.2840 MORE NEWS» insideradio.com THE MOST TRUSTED NEWS IN RADIO MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2015 Biggest format event of the year attracts a larger crowd to radio. The all-Christmas format did more than deliver record- high ratings for AC stations. It also lifted the number of people listening to radio overall. New data from Nielsen shows Persons Using Radio in PPM markets grew during the Holiday 2014 survey, compared to the same period one year earlier, reversing a years-long decline. A key barometer of radio usage, Persons Using Radio is analogous to Average Quarter Hour Persons for the entire radio industry. It rolls up the total number of people tuned to broadcast radio during an average quarter hour. After trending down at a rate of 4%-5% for the past two Holiday surveys, the number rose to 111.23 million in the 48 PPM markets in the Holiday 2014 survey, a 2% increase from 109.18 million in 2013. The number is significant because it represents more than just the same audience being divvied up differently among stations. It instead shows an expansion in total radio usage during the survey period. “National radio listening moving up a couple percentage points is a big deal,” Nielsen VP, programming business partner Jon Miller says. What’s behind the Holiday uptick in Persons Using Radio. A number of factors appear to have contributed to the upturn in Persons Using Radio during the Holiday survey. First, the Holiday 2014 survey included one more day of Christmas programming than the 2013 survey.

  • Opinion Permanent Injunction Merits
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA LYNCHBURG DIVISION CENTENNIAL BROADCASTING, LLC, CIVIL ACTION NO. 6:06-CV-00006 Plaintiff, v. OPINION AND ORDER GARY E. BURNS and JUDGE NORMAN K. MOON 3 DAUGHTERS MEDIA, INC., Defendants. This matter is before the Court on the August 4, 2006 motion of Plaintiff Centennial Broadcasting LLC (“Centennial”) to make the preliminary injunction entered on March 20, 2006, permanent. Plaintiff has also moved the Court pursuant to Rule 65(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to consolidate the permanent injunction merits with (i) the evidence taken at the March 13, 2006 preliminary injunction hearing; (ii) the deposition testimony of Defendants’ expert Michael Harrison, taken on June 14, 2006; and (iii) the deposition testimony of Centennial’s rebuttal expert, Walter Sabo, taken on July 21, 2006. I. Procedural Background On February 17, 2006, Centennial brought this diversity action seeking permanent injunctive relief and damages arising out of the alleged violation by Defendant Gary Burns 1 (“Burns”) of a non-compete agreement that he entered into in connection with his sale of radio station WLNI-FM (“WLNI”) to Centennial. Centennial also sought a preliminary injunction ordering Defendants to cease using a “talk” programming format on WBLT-AM (“WBLT”), a station owned by Defendant 3 Daughters Media (“3 Daughters”) and controlled by Burns. After considering the parties’ briefs on the merits of the preliminary injunction, the Court determined that the issues presented were narrow and that consolidation of the trial on the merits with the preliminary injunction hearing pursuant to Rule 65(a)(2) might be appropriate.
