Time spent with family became something to look forward to and feel grateful for, as opposed to years ago when it felt like an irritating obligation. Is it because the older I get the more human my parents become? When their hair began turning gray, did I suddenly value their company more because I finally and tangibly understood that they're growing older and are someday going to die? Or maybe I just relate to them a bit more on an eye-to-eye level now that I'm older. And things that used to mean so much have kind of lost their value a bit. Watching sports is still enjoyable but the importance of my team winning and the agony of them losing have both softened into feelings almost indistinguishable from each other. It's a saddening realization that this softening is only a pit stop on the road to indifference. It's amazing that it took until this day, in my thirty-seventh year God, that sounds so old to have what I will consider from here on to be the greatest moment in my life.

  • The Law and Economics of Wardrobe Malfunction
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by bepress Legal Repository The Law and Economics of Wardrobe Malfunction Keith Brown, Ph.D. and Adam Candeub, J.D. † ABSTRACT: This article examines the Federal Communication Commission’s indecency regulation for television and radio. In recent years, the FCC has not only pursued hi gh profile enforcements such as Janet Jackson’s well -known Super Bowl half time show, but perhaps more important, has issued fines against broadcasters in record amounts totaling millions of dollars. Critics claim that these enforcements are politicized, arbitrary, and chilling of free speech. This article proposes a new, market -based mechanism for indecency regulation that avoids the pitfalls of the FCC’s current approach. The proposal focuses on the viewer -- advertiser relationship, in distinction to the FCC’s regulations, which concentrate solely on the broadcaster. Drawing on recent economic theory involving “two sided markets,” we argue that if the FCC required disclos ur e of all programming advertisers sponsor, consumers could then directly pressure a dvertisers, resulting in programming that better reflect s “community standards” of indecency. Introduction Michael Powell, Chairman of the Federal Communications from 2001 to 2005 will likely be most remembered for his controver sial and attention-gra bbing indecency enforcement actions against Howard Stern and, of course, Janet Jackson’s Super Bowl “wardrobe malfunction.”1 This legacy is deserved, for in addition to these high -profile enforcement ac tions, Michael Powell imposed, according to The Cente r for Public Integrity , a higher total fine amount for 2004 broadcast indecency than for all the previous 10 years combined.2 † Keith Brown is a consultant at CNA Corporation in Washington, D.C .

  • {PDF EPUB} Gakky Two-Feet by Micky Dolenz Children's Bookshelf Talks with Micky Dolenz
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Gakky Two-Feet by Micky Dolenz Children's Bookshelf Talks with Micky Dolenz. Micky Dolenz was sitting in his Broadway dressing room recently, preparing for another performance as Zoser in the Elton John-Tim Rice production of Aida, when he realized he'd passed a milestone: his run with Aida had surpassed his tenure with The Monkees, the '60s pop culture phenomenon that started out as a TV show about a band and became a band without a TV show. Dolenz, 61, is ready to be known for something else. His first picture book, Gakky Two-Feet , illustrated by David Clark, debuts from Putnam. He envisions a whole series of books about on "anthromythology," the fictionalization of key moments in human evolution. Interviewed from his home in Los Angeles, Dolenz explained that his fascination with the subject had nothing to do with having once been a Monkee himself. Can you explain how Gakky Two-Feet came about? Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences—everything from quantum physics to anthropology. When my Scientific American arrives every month, I read it cover to cover. So the idea for Gakky , about the first quadruped who decided to stand up, came from Scientific American ? It did! I had read an article about hominid evolution and, one night shortly after that, I woke up and the Muse was standing by my bed. She was really cute, and she had a nine-millimeter Glock. She held it at my head and said, 'Write Gakky's story.' Not being one to deny a pretty Muse with a loaded Glock, I got up.

INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (“NAL”), we find that Infinity Broadcasting Operations, Inc., (“Infinity”), licensee of Station WNEW(FM), New York, New York, apparently violated 18 U.S.C. § 1464 and 47 C.F.R. § 73.3999, by willfully and repeatedly broadcasting indecent language on three occasions. Based upon our review of the facts and circumstances in this case, we conclude that Infinity is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of twenty-one thousand dollars ($21,000). II. BACKGROUND 2. The Commission received two complaints alleging that WNEW(FM) broadcast indecent material during the “Opie and Anthony Show,” a show that is regularly scheduled to air on weekdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The first complaint cited material that aired on November 15, 2000 and November 16, 2000. The complainant provided tapes with various portions of the show. A song entitled “Teen Week” was aired during one segment of the November 15, 2000 “Opie and Anthony Show.” “Teen Week” consisted of lines of dialogue with a musical background. A portion of the song follows: Young girl’s voice-- YV Dad-- D *** YV: Daddy, can I come too? Can I come too? Daddy, it won’t fit in my mouth.

    COYLE, JAMES E., JR., Ph.D., May 2007 EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY WIKIS IN THE COLLEGE CLASSROOM: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ONLINE AND FACE-TO-FACE GROUP COLLABORATION AT A PRIVATE LIBERAL ARTS UNIVERSITY (260 pp.) Co-Directors of Dissertation: Drew Tiene, Ph.D. Albert L. Ingram, Ph.D. Wikis are Web-based online software programs that allow any user to add, edit, or delete content on a Wiki web page. Because of their relative simplicity and their interactive nature, Wikis are potentially effective tools for online collaborative group work, a type of activity frequently used in online distance education. This study examined online Wiki collaboration compared to more conventional face-to-face group collaboration in higher education. The study participants were juniors and seniors taking a senior-level broadcast communications course. They were divided into two groups, and each group collaborated on writing reports using both conventional face-to-face collaboration methods and collaboration using the Wiki function in Moodle course management software. Following completion of the reports, professional subject matter experts rated the quality of the reports according to specified content and format criteria. The study’s research questions addressed (1) benefits and obstacles experienced in face-to-face collaboration; (2) benefits and obstacles experienced in Wiki-based group collaboration; (3) whether there was a difference between Wiki group collaboration and face-to-face group collaboration in terms of the quality of the final product; and (4) whether there was a difference in students’ experiences of learning and sense of community after Wiki-based collaboration and face-to-face collaboration assignments.
