  • It Is 4:00 Am on the First Day of My New Life As an Accused Predator in the Universe of American Journalism. I Was Ambushed
    It is 4:00 am on the first day of my new life as an accused predator in the universe of American journalism. I was ambushed and then perp walked across the pages of The Washington Post and Variety as an avatar of male misogyny, taken to the guillotine and stripped of any honor and achievement I had earned in more than a half century of journalism and citizenship. I am angry, hurt and unmoored from what I thought would be the final passage of my life and career, a mix of written and broadcast journalism, philanthropy and participation in environmental and social causes that have always given extra meaning to my life. Instead I am facing a long list of grievances from a former colleague who left NBC News angry that she had failed in her pursuit of stardom. She has unleashed a torrent of unsubstantiated criticism and attacks on me more than twenty years after I opened the door for her and a new job at Fox news. Linda Vester was given the run of the Washington Post and Variety to vent her grievances, to complain that I tickled her without permission (you read that right), that I invaded her hotel room, accepted an invitation to her apartment under false pretenses and in general was given a free hand to try to destroy all that I have achieved with my family, my NBC career, my writing and my citizenship. My family and friends are stunned and supportive. My NBC colleagues are bewildered that Vester, who had limited success at NBC News, a modest career at Fox and a reputation as a colleague who had trouble with the truth was suddenly the keeper of the flame of journalistic integrity.

  • Broadcast Ownership Rules" Are Adopted, Independent Voices in Cities Across the United States Could Be Snuffed out by Huge Media Corporations
    From: Matt To: Michael Copps Date: Sun, May 18,2003 2:11 PM Subject: Please read - If proposed "broadcast ownership rules" are adopted, independent voices in cities across the United States could be snuffed out by huge media corporations. - Whole communities and even whole states and regions could be dominated by media companies that would have the power to decide which viewpoints to allow on the air and which to censor. -The FCC, controlled by five unelected officials, has conducted its decision-making process with only one public hearing and very little time for the public to react. - Many of the corporations fighting for these rule changes -- including media giants ViacomlCBS and Disney/ABC --demonstrate a strong anti-gun bias in their news coverage and programming. Thanks for your time, Matthew Pilon From: john taylor To: Michael Copps Date: Fri, May 16,2003 9:55 PM Subject: Fw: Please uphold "real access" The Honorable Michael J. Copps, Commissioner, Please do not make rule changes that would favor huge media giants in their quest to increase market share. For all practical purposes, I believe their ultimate goal is to gain complete ownership and control of the media. Whether the goal is largely financial or for greater control over public opinion it matters little as the result is the same. The large media conglomerates are able to choose what is appropriate broadcast material for the masses. It is a greatly restricted viewpoint. I plead your support to uphold existing "Broadcast Ownership Rules." Having a free media requires that people have a real option to choose alternative programming and viewpoints.

  • Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018
    Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018 MINNESOTA EAS STATEWIDE PLAN Revision 10 Basic Plan 01/31/2019 I. REASON FOR PLAN The State of Minnesota is subject to major emergencies and disasters, natural, technological and criminal, which can pose a significant threat to the health and safety of the public. The ability to provide citizens with timely emergency information is a priority of emergency managers statewide. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) was developed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide emergency information to the public via television, radio, cable systems and wire line providers. The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, (IPAWS) was created by FEMA to aid in the distribution of emergency messaging to the public via the internet and mobile devices. It is intended that the EAS combined with IPAWS be capable of alerting the general public reliably and effectively. This plan was written to explain who can originate EAS alerts and how and under what circumstances these alerts are distributed via the EAS and IPAWS. II. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF PLAN A. Purpose When emergencies and disasters occur, rapid and effective dissemination of essential information can significantly help to reduce loss of life and property. The EAS and IPAWS were designed to provide this type of information. However; these systems will only work through a coordinated effort. The purpose of this plan is to establish a standardized, integrated EAS & IPAWS communications protocol capable of facilitating the rapid dissemination of emergency information to the public. B. Objectives 1. Describe the EAS administrative structure within Minnesota. (See Section V) 2.

If you have questions on how to prepare for a dry-camping rally, feel free to contact me, the hosts, or any other NorCal members you may know with dry-camping experience. This promises to be a very fun and memorable NorCal event. Some good news for our Affiliates (currently there are 20). NorCal is now enrolled in a new Affiliate Membership Program. This allows Affiliates to join/renew their NorCal membership at the same time as their home club on the HQ website. This new program greatly simplifies the process for everyone involved. This month’s photo is from one of the many bike rides Lori and I have enjoyed while Airstreaming. There are great bike ride opportunities nearly everywhere we go. At Glacier National Park in particular, we were unable to get entry tickets for the Going to the Sun Road until the last day we were there. However entry tickets are not I hope this finds you all well and safe from the hot required for bikes. We quickly learned that touring a weather, wildfires, and general poor air quality National Park by bike greatly enhances the experience dominating large portions of our State. Hopefully these (well, except for the sudden rain storm and bear conditions won’t effect any more rallies this year beyond encounters, but that’s a story for another time around the Quincy.
