Thank you to all those who help us lift up the voices of nearly 475 abused children each year. As you look to invest your philanthropic dollars with the causes that align with your passion, I’d like to share with you CASA’s recent 2010 Economic Impact Report. In this report we highlight our work on just a small subset of all the children we serve. .those who remain in long term foster care. CASA can verify that we are saving over $570,000 annually in housing costs for 29 of these children. Our wonderful Advocates were a vital reason why these children achieved every child’s dream, to have a family! I can say that without our work, these 29 children would have probably remained in foster care 192 years, cumulatively. Please visit our website to view the report! I welcome your comments and remarks to my email address at [email protected] Thanks for supporting CASA in any way you can and thanks for keeping a watchful eye out for children in our community!

    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.

Earthquake Preparedness Research Experts Linda Bourque, Ph.D. University of California at Los Angeles Dennis Mileti, Ph.D. University of Colorado at Boulder 2008 Survey Led by Dr. Bourque • Produced baseline data describing how prepared California residents are for earthquakes and where they get their information about preparedness and mitigation. Primary Funders – California Seismic Safety Commission (CSSC) California Emergency Management Agency (CalEMA) 2008 Survey Results • California residents are exposed to numerous ongoing programs and recommended actions designed to increase household earthquake preparedness and mitigation. • Most of the actions Californians have taken are simple preparations; relatively few households have acted to mitigate losses and reduce injuries. • Over 80% of California residents have collected information about earthquake preparedness from TV anchors or reporters and, to a lesser extent, radio hosts or reporters (58.6%), schools (54.1%), and friends and relatives (50.6%). 2008 Survey Results, continued • Intuition has most frequently been used as the basis for developing the content and dissemination of earthquake preparedness and mitigation programs in California; evidence-based knowledge about how to motivate people to get ready has been underutilized. • Messages on earthquake preparedness and mitigation developed specifically for dissemination in California have low market penetration. 2008 Survey Recommendations • Disseminate a standardized message to households about earthquake preparedness and mitigation.
