TALKERS | November 13, 2018
Jim Philips to Retire from WTKS, Orlando; Jim Colbert Show to Fill PM Drive Slot. On-air pro Jim Philips has been hosting the afternoon drive show on iHeartMedia's hot talk WTKS-FM, Orlando "Real Radio 104.1" for more than 30 years. On November 20, he'll host the final live "Philips Phile" show and on November 21, the station will air a "Phinal Philips Phile" tribute program. During his time as host of the afternoon show, Jim Philips has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Central Florida charities including The Mustard Seed and A Gift for Teaching and has dedicated countless hours to causes including first-amendment issues, adult literacy, mentoring at-risk youth, and championing LGBTQ rights. The University of Florida graduate has also received numerous awards and honors including the Debbie Simmons Community Excellence Award lifetime achievement honor and has been recognized as the "Best Radio Personality" more than a dozen times by readers of the Orlando Sentinel, the Watermark and the Orlando Weekly. Philips says, "It has been a great 50-year career and now it is time to move on with the next phase of my life. I can't thank the Orlando community enough for letting me into their homes, their cars and their offices for all this time." iHeartMedia division president Linda Byrd announces "The Jim Colbert Show" will air in PM drive. Led by longtime "Monsters of the Morning" cast member "Dirty" Jim Colbert, the Jim Colbert show will include co-host and news director Deborah Roberts, award-winning stand-up comedian Rauce Padgett, and executive producer and 20-year "Real Radio" veteran Jack Bradshaw. Byrd states, "We are very excited about the Jim Colbert show expanding to five days a week. After 26 years of entertaining morning audiences as part of the 'Monsters of the Morning' show on 'Real Radio,' Jimmy will now be doing the same in afternoon drive time with his unique comedic take on the world." Colbert says, "Before I was in radio I was a longtime listener of Jim Philips and the 'Philips Phile.' It is an absolute honor to bring my show to the same time slot on 'Real Radio 104.1.'"
Longtime KMJ, Fresno Personality Craig Hansen to Retire. Station program director Blake Taylor reports that Craig Hansen – a fixture on the KMJ, Fresno airwaves for 42 years – is retiring from the Cumulus Media news/talk station in December. Taylor says, "It is with mixed emotions that we announce the retirement of KMJ's Craig Hansen at year's end. For those who don't know, Craig is a virtual encyclopedia of KMJ's long history and import to Fresno and the San Joaquin Valley. Craig's first day at KMJ was November 24, 1976. As far as we can tell, Craig's 42-year tenure is probably the second-longest in KMJ's 96-year history – second only to Jerry Higgenbotham's run from 1949 to 1994. Mr. Hansen has held a number of on-air positions over the decades but is probably best known for his years as our go-to guy on Saturdays hosting news, 'Autoshop Talk,' 'Real Talk,' and of course 'Radio Tradio!' Craig's final show at KMJ will be Saturday, December 22. After that, he and his better half will be driving his Corvette out of the mayhem of California and moving out of state to retire in peace."
Cumulus to Launch Local Ad Guarantee. The company says that it is "doubling down on the industry-leading ROI guarantee of its Westwood One division" and "will launch an innovative program leveraging the proven effectiveness and reach of broadcast radio, combined with the precise targeting capabilities of its digital products." Cumulus Media radio station group EVPs Dave Milner and Bob Walker announce the company will support local advertisers' number one objective: attracting more customers. Cumulus says it will guarantee participating local advertisers a minimum number of Engaged Potential Customers (EPCs): listeners who have contacted the business as a result of the coordinated program. Should the program not deliver the guaranteed results, the business will receive free advertising. Milner says, "Marketers took notice of our commitment to results when we debuted the Westwood One ROI Guarantee and challenged us to deliver something similar to our local advertisers. After touting the benefits of a combined radio and digital campaign, we're now putting our money where our mouth is in our local markets with the EPC Guarantee." Walker adds, "Using radio's exceptional 10:1 ROI, and a proven 19% lift when messages are coordinated between media platforms, we are delivering a hyper-efficient brand building and customer generation program all in one. We've known all along that we can be an advertiser's one-stop shop for results; now we guarantee it." The EPC Guarantee will launch in 65 Cumulus markets later this month, in the home and professional services categories, and will be available in all 90 Cumulus markets in 2019.

NPR to Be Honored at Inaugural iHeartRadio Podcast Awards. When the first-ever iHeartRadio Podcast Awards take place at the iHeartRadio Theater in Los Angeles on January 18, NPR will be the recipient of the iHeartRadio Podcast Pioneer Award. NPR is being honored as a "driving, innovative force in the creation of the podcasting industry" and the award "will pay tribute to the renowned non-profit multimedia organization's groundbreaking contributions to podcasting's expanding role in today's popular culture." The press release notes that NPR launched its first digital-only podcasting predecessor, "All Songs Considered," in April 2000 and it officially debuted NPR Podcasts in August 2005 with a full slate of 174 programs, including 17 original podcasts.

NPR SVP for programming and audience development Anya Grundmann says, "We are honored to receive the Podcast Pioneer Award. Podcasts have been a major source of innovation for NPR.

PPM Analysis: Talk-Oriented Public Radio. Today, TALKERS managing editor Mike Kinosian wraps up our three-part analysis of the performances of news and talk radio stations based on data from Nielsen Audio's January PPM survey. Having already looked at all-news and commercial news/talk, we turn our attention to talk-oriented public radio. In January, the majority of all-news and commercial news/talk stations saw their 6+ numbers increase after the previous Holiday 2016 survey in which so many such stations traditionally see softer numbers. The assertion that the beginning of the Trump Administration has been good for news and talk stations appears to also be good for talk-oriented public radio stations. Kinosian notes that when comparing the stations' Holiday 2016 AQH shares to those of the January 2017 survey, nine of 10 stations on this talk-oriented public panel improve; 8% are down and the remaining 2% are steady. Comparing 6+ AQH shares from January 2016 to January 2017, roughly seven of 10 stations in our eligible sample improve year-to-year (72%), while 17% decline; the remaining 11% are unchanged. Four talk-oriented public radio stations ranked #1 in their respective markets and another five finished in the top five. Find out which stations they are, and much more when you read the whole report here.

Entercom and CBS RADIO Reveal Pricing for Loan. The two radio operators – preparing for a merger that is expected to close sometime during the second half of 2017 – announce that CBS RADIO "has established pricing for a seven-year, $500 million senior secured term loan B to be issued in connection with their previously announced merger. The loan will have an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%, with no LIBOR floor, and will be issued at par. The new term loan will be issued to refinance Entercom's capital structure, with proceeds used to repay its existing term loan and redeem its preferred stock, as well as pay transaction fees and expenses. CBS RADIO's credit facility is being amended to include the new term loan, which is expected to be funded at the closing of the merger."

Emmis Communications Reports 2016 Fiscal Q3 Numbers; Radio Segment Basically Flat. For the company as a whole – which includes radio, publishing and emerging technologies – net revenue was down 5.7% compared to the same period a year ago. But publishing took the big hit. Emmis Communications' radio segment was basically flat – down 0.4%. For the first nine months of the company's fiscal year (March-November), the radio segment was down 1.2%. In its filing with the SEC, the company explains, "For the nine-month period ended November 30, 2016, our performance exceeded the market average [as per Miller Kaplan data] in St. Louis, but we lagged the market average in New York, Los Angeles, Indianapolis and Austin…Our weak performance in Los Angeles mostly related to a format competitor that began directly competing against our station there in February 2015. The revenue impact has been most pronounced since the fall of 2015. Emmis expects net revenues in Los Angeles will be up slightly from prior year for the three-month period ended February 28, 2017." Emmis chairman and CEO Jeff Smulyan states, "Emmis Radio is not accustomed to underperforming its markets. I was disappointed in our performance, but remain hopeful that recent ratings gains in Los Angeles and Austin, coupled with continued stellar performance in St. Louis, will lead to better performance in fiscal 2018. The general sluggishness in the radio industry makes the need for NextRadio all the more important. NextRadio, the smartphone app that provides free, portable FM radio listening, recently surpassed 10 million downloads and 25 million listening hours. The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are now FM-enabled across all major wireless carriers in the United States and we reached an agreement with Sprint that keeps NextRadio preloaded on their Android devices. If NextRadio succeeds, as I believe it will, it will help solve major challenges for every radio station, including ours: establishing a one-to-one relationship with our listeners, regaining our portability, and making us relevant to a generation that thinks terrestrial radio is uncool. NextRadio gives us new, interactive revenue opportunities with current and potential advertisers – and it takes the compelling content created every day and provides a new platform for it."

Entercom Splits WAAF, Boston Simulcast; Launches Urban 'The New 97.7.' For years, Entercom has been simulcasting rock outlet WAAF (licensed to suburban Westborough) on the 107.3 frequency and on WKAF (licensed to south suburban Brockton) on the 97.7 frequency. Now, the company splits that and launches an urban outlet on WKAF branded "The New 97.7, Boston's #1 For R&B." Entercom says for WAAF the simulcast "delivered little appreciable audience beyond the primary station's booming signal." Programming the new urban outlet is Chris Malone, who arrives from Cumulus Media's WRBO and WKIM in Memphis. The station is being consulted by Jay Dixon, KBLX/KRBQ, San Francisco director of programming and operations Elroy Smith, and Sean Ross, VP of music and programming for Edison Research. Entercom New England VP/market manager Phil Zachary says, "Boston has a higher concentration of African-American consumers than San Francisco or Los Angeles, but no rated urban signals. The prospect of reaching almost 8% of the population with one radio station in a top 10 market is almost inconceivable in 2017."

'Format Adjustment' Pushes Bubba the Love Sponge from Beasley's WBRN, Tampa. There's not a lot to go on from the press release from Beasley Media Group issued this morning.

After Beasley's acquisition of the signal, the station became WBRN – "Bubba Radio Network" – in February of 2015 airing a hybrid of Bubba's show and hard rock. Later in 2015, the station rebranded as "No Rules Rock" after Bubba was found to have been involved in a PPM survey tampering incident.

Hillsdale College Launches Talk Radio Initiative. The Hillsdale, Michigan conservative liberal arts college is preparing to bring its low-power FM radio station WRFH into the lives of its students. Operating since this past summer and airing exclusively patriotic music, the station is poised to begin becoming a part of the school's journalism studies. Although the school does not offer a Journalism major – it prefers all students major in traditional liberal arts — Hillsdale's John Miller (a former 18-year staffer at The National Review) says the radio station will offer a hands-on approach to this form of broadcasting. "We have a demanding core at the college. You learn journalism by doing journalism — not by sitting in a classroom listening to a professor rattle on about it. We do a little bit of classroom instruction, but we try to put students in a position where they can practice journalism at our campus paper or at the radio station. I teach a class about writing style, but we do not lard up our curriculum with all kinds of courses that justify our jobs. I am one of the few professors on campus who does not possess a PhD. I got this job because of my work experience." How the station came into being and what the school's plans are for the station is an interesting story. Read TALKERS managing editor Mike Kinosian's piece about "Radio Free Hillsdale" here.

First there were the firecrackers, then the failed trip to the grocery store, and finally the expensive pineapple. Some days just seem like such a waste.Mornings here are typically when I try to get a couple hours of contract work complete, this morning was no different. Except, there was a roaming group of kids setting off something like a firecracker. They seemed to be involving a can of some sort, either to amplify the sound or perhaps it was some sort of homemade firecracker. Either way, the sound was too much for me. The suddenness of it, and the volume seemed to rattle my brain. I felt like I was getting queasy from the interruptions; like someone was dragging my consciousness from work, across a Texas gate, and back into the barrio. I had to stop early.
Walk Home - Do you see any groceries?
Needing some fresh air to calm down, and food for the fridge, we planned a trip to the grocery store in the afternoon. Normally we would take a taxi but today, with the help of a couple local kids, we thought we would walk to the store and just take a cab home. Motivating the kids was relatively easy with the promise of a treat and a few rides on our back. Groceries were easy enough. We even met one fellow who recognized us from the barrio and were able to chat for a minute. Then at the checkout, when our groceries were half through, I realized I had left my credit cards at home. So with people anxiously waiting behind me I fumbled through a few Spanish words to try explain that I couldn't pay for all the groceries. Fortunately, I had a little bit of cash and we kept some of the more important things that aren't available closer to home (like Oreo cookies for example). Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be a way to remove items from the bill so the poor cashier had to cancel the transaction and start scanning everything again until we reached our available cash limit. Feeling like the trip was a waste, and not wanting to call a cab to carry two bags of groceries home, we dragged the kids home on foot.
By dinner we were ready for a (another?) break and decided to try making Pizza sandwiches (we don't have an oven to make the real thing). I quickly ran down the street to grab a pineapple while Nicole started putting things together. Starting to be able to interpret even the most quickly spoken prices I was sure the attendant said 40 pesos. Passing him a 100 peso bill I fully expected to get 60 pesos back. He seemed to have another idea. The impression I got from his body language was that he decided I would leave him a bit of a tip and only provided me with 50 pesos. I was irked. We have tried to be generous with all who ask, but to help oneself! I don't know. Am I being to selfish? Clearly an extra 10 pesos (< 40 cents) won't really affect us, but still. Honestly, I don't think we'll go back to that vendor but I'm interested in your thoughts. Should I give him the benefit of the doubt and trust that his situation is so bad he really needed the extra cash?
Overall it's been one of those days. Now if that guy with the firecrackers would just head to bed we could all get some rest.


Contacting the Art consulting services would go a long way in transforming the business right from the ground up. Nobody likes a place that is devoid of decorative elements. Sourcing different art forms and placing them in the reception area captures the imagination of the people to a great extent.
Monotonous job routine is one of the most important factors that can lower the productivity of the employees by many notches. If a wonderful image is wrapped in a frame and placed on the wall, it is bound to increase the curiosity of the players. Moreover, one can order numerous art collections according to the requirements and specifications. People will no more find their jobs monotonous and would excel in whatever projects they are doing.
Accounts department is probably one of the most boring departments in the company. To keep company, drab financial figures are posted on the wall however they do not invoke much enthusiasm. Over a period of time, people lose interest in work however with unique pictures on the wall; it is highly likely that they would return to work more often than not. For instance, images of natural surroundings in the vicinity will provide something different to the employees.
The consultants work in tandem with the professionals to deliver sterling results to the clients. Using the computer aided graphic applications; they incorporate the desires and preferences of the customers.
Apart from creating the art form, the consultants also play an important role in making unique frames of various sizes. The background is created depending on the content of the images. If both are synchronized, the art form would make the office an ideal work place for the employees.
Well place art plays a very important role in brilliantly decorating the blank space to a great extent.
It transforms waiting area in top beautiful lounges where people may like to sit and spend time.
People can purchase good quality art as cost effective prices because there are many young artists doing excellent work for the clients. You can also buy abstract art collections to enhance the appearance of not only office but also the warehouse. Funny pictures would do a whirl of good to enhance the mood of the people. They will not only work for longer hours because of the interesting and amazing ambience.

Whether I'm pitching a client to write an opinion piece, speak at a conference or suggesting a trend to a features writer, inevitably the first question I will be asked (if I've not already included as part of my pitch format) is "Can you send me their bio" and people want it immediately.
It is surprising how many businesses have been going for years where the key stakeholders don't have a biography on file. This should be one of the first assets you create for your media toolkit. And if you do have a bio make it pop. I don't want to be bored halfway down your long list of professional accomplishments.
Done right, your bio isn't just a boring tool for promoting yourself and your business, it is part of your personal brand which journalists, new business prospects and customers will engage with.
What skills do you have that are relevant to this business?
What are your relevant academic or professional qualifications?
What is your industry experience?
Do you have a quirky hobby and/or habit?
Rank the different points as to which are the most relevant. And start your cull of what might not be for your first draft. (Keep a long-form version of everything for future use and to keep updating).
Cilla Black always nailed a good intro. Having read some monstrosities out there it's worth flagging to start simply and with the basics. Your name and where you currently work or some examples of who you currently work for if you are freelance.
Back to those interesting hobby or habits. As mentioned earlier, people relate better people who are personable so consider adding an interesting titbit. It gives the reader something to care about and might spark a wealth of opportunities.
Bonus points if you can keep it down to less than 150 words but absolutely no more than 250. If you start putting too much information down, it actually distracts from you as an expert. You may struggle to keep it short and want to include everything but remember people don't remember long bios, they get bored by them. You can always link to your website to encourage people to find out more.
Lastly, remember your bio is not a one size fits all template, it will need to evolve dependant on which platform or business is using it. But having one master biography on file stands you in good stead.

Q: Android enable/disable spinner touch listener at condition I have an activity with a Spinner (with his own adapter) and another Adapter that manages the recycler view with its list . I'm trying to implement the following logic : when the list of the recycler is empty   the spinner should be enabled , otherwise it should be disabled until the list is empty again :
  sGames.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            if (pokemonCardsGridAdapter.getItemCount() == 0) {
                v.performClick();
                v.setEnabled(true);
            } else {
                v.setEnabled(false);
                Toast.makeText(PokemonTeambuilderEditorActivity.this, "The list is full", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            return false;
        }
    });

However , this only works the first time , once the spinner gets disabled , it never receive any touch events again . How can I fix this?

A: Solved using registerAdapterDataObserver:
    pokemonCardsGridAdapter.registerAdapterDataObserver(new RecyclerView.AdapterDataObserver() {

        public void onChanged() {
            sGames.setEnabled(false);
        }

        public void onItemRangeRemoved(int positionStart, int itemCount) {
            if (pokemonCardsGridAdapter.getItemCount() == 0) {
                sGames.setEnabled(true);
            }
        }
    });

Well, now is the perfect time. If you'd like more information on horticulture, this article can serve as a starting point for you. Read on for some helpful tips to get started in horticulture.
Create useful rulers from your tool handles. You can use shovels or rakes as measuring sticks. Just lay your tool down on the floor then lay a yardstick beside the handle. Label the distances using a permanent marker. Next time you are working in the garden, you will have a large ruler at your fingertips!
Don't cut your grass down by the soil when you run the mower. If you let your grass grow, the roots will go deeper and make your lawn more resistant to dryness. Short grass is more prone to getting dried out and turning brown.
Get horticulture knee pads if you have low-growing plants. Kneeling on the ground as you garden will eventually cause serious discomfort for your knees. You can be more comfortable in the garden with a good pair of gardening knee pads.
Ensure that your plants are kept dry, and aerated daily. Moisture on plants is sure to attract disease and parasites. Fungi is very common. Fungi can be controlled with fungicide sprays, but it is important to treat your area with the spray, before you see any problems.
It is possible to use natural materials as well as other plants to help keep pests away from your garden. Plant marigolds or onions around other vegetables to keep slugs away from them. Insects also avoid shrubs and trees that are mulched with wood ash. These are proven methods without having to use harsh chemical pesticides.
It is particularly important for new gardeners to read and follow instructions that come with tools, as well as chemicals. If you use your gardening chemicals wrong, you can abrade or even burn your skin. Following instructions for the use of harsh chemicals can keep you safe from serious injury.
Good tools for the gardener include a wheelbarrow and a kneeling stool. It is important to protect your knees when you are kneeling in the garden, and a foam kneeling pad will help with that. Horticulture also typically involves transporting bags of topsoil, fertilizer and other heavy items, so using a wheelbarrow to make these tasks easier is a sound investment for your garden, and your back.
After reading this article, you should now have a solid base of knowledge about horticulture. Even if you thought you knew how to grow a garden properly, you definitely do now. Ideally, you will be able to start horticulture with much greater success after using these tips.
You are right if you think http://www.mdyhome.com/ is a complex topic. If you know the right things and follow this advice, you will be better off in the blue widget world. When you begin your http://www.mdyhome.com/ adventure, you will find this information invaluable.


Very soon the two weeks wait for a new Nashville episode will be over and according to the promo and the sneak peek for Nashville – Episode 3.09 – 'Two Sides to Every Story' all of Nashville will be covered in Christmas lights, Rayna will be gorgeous and sing, Juliette will visit Deacon and Deacon will be ten different kinds of pissed but still find time to tell Rayna he loves her (swoon).
1. "I'm pretty sure this is the men's room" – When Rayna entered the men's room without hesitation after Luke the first thing he said to her is that 'it's the men's room'. Yes, we can take it literal but when we think about it it's also quite an accurate description to their relationship: Rayna disturbing "the natural order" of things by stepping into the "boys club" and by that smashing the glass ceiling without blinking.
Luke may have been attracted to it at first but as the air gets thinner and thinner at the top he also (not so) secretly resenting her for it. That's because at the end of the day, Luke would prefer equality to be a little less equal when it comes to his household.
The difference between Rayna and Luke was evident throughout the entire episode. Rayna never apologized for being in the boys club and owned her success but she also never lost sight of the fact that they are partners and equals.
But Rayna did more than this. She was pissed and hurt, but she was respectful of him and didn't dismiss his feelings. She made it very clear that this behavior is not acceptable but also showed empathy to his weakness. She basically did him the courtesy of treating him as a grownup and an equal full partner. This is exactly how she would have wanted him (and her other previous partners) to treat her. Equality sure comes with a price, Luke, and that price is that you have to be at least as big as your hats to handle it. Yes, Luke, you should have brought your other hat.
2. "We are who we learn from" – On Nashville we get lots of shots of Juliette looking at the mirror. When she looks at herself and others through a mirror it's usually from a place of self-hatred and insecurity. That in itself is not surprising since we know that Juliette is much more than a self-absorb person and that in the heart of her behavior lay a huge emotional void and a constant need to prove herself.
This episode there was a scene when Juliette prepared to go on stage and present that started the same way and it seemed for a second that they both are about to fall into their bad habits, but there was one huge difference and that the facing starring back at them from the mirror wasn't just themselves. This time it gave them an opportunity to see beyond themselves and also look at each other! That small change led them both to say out loud the harshest things they can think about themselves but also helped them get passed it. That's because they were also looking at each other. For Juliette, Avery is her true good mirror and vice versa. Maybe that's how you become the best version of yourself-learning where to look and who to look at.
3. "Ball and Chains? It's when you're stuck with somebody"– What can I say? Zunnar grew on me and I really felt for Zoey when she 'chose for Gunnar' but still, the saddest moment for me was the one when Gunnar stared for a moment at his award and subsequently, at yet another missed opportunity to shine. At some point last season Gunnar explained to Zoey that the problem in his relationship with Scarlett was that it was all together: living together, working together and being romantically involved. But looking at his life it seems that Gunnar is (again) wrong. Gunnar really tries hard to separate his private life and his personal but he always fails. One of the reasons for it that Gunnar, at heart, is a family man.
He's sometimes clueless and quite an idiot and he really wants to succeed but his best work and his best moments in life come when he combines everything together. After all, he tried to make it on his own for a long time but what brought "the good music out of him" was the right collaboration, friendship and love. So what he needs to do is find a way to fully combine those elements again (not combine it only when he feels like it) and commit to it. That will be messy, but it will also be a way for him to stop missing out on his success…and hey, Scarlett just said she hated feeling lonely on stage so you do the math.
4. "I didn't want to be famous like that" – Layla really grown this season and what's interesting about her relationship with Will is that both of them really do want the same things in life: Both want to make it as artists. Both also don't believe that being themselves will actually get them there. The result is, as we know, that they are 'actors in their own lives' but in contrast to Will that mastered this act to almost perfection (and by doing so gave up on love completely) Layla's heart simply CAN'T HANDLE IT. In a way it seems that her behavior now is a manifestation of the mess inside Will's mind and heart that he keeps escaping from.The thing is that despite the lie in their marriage they're still together and that means that whatever happens to Layla will eventually effect Will, so when Layla crack, that also means no more escaping for Will.The breakdown of Layla is the direct result of Will's choice to live a lie and it will sure be interesting to see how it all unfolds.
5. "Congrats Ray, Much deserved" – Told you before texting IS the solution for all the problems on Nashville! Thank god Deacon got the memo.
6. "It's six for six" – Don't get me wrong. It was great (!!!) watching Rayna Jaymes win all those awards and receive her much deserved moments at the spotlight as well as so much love and support from everyone but it was also a sad reminder to the fact that the brilliant actress behind this wonderful character – Connie Britton, never got that kind of recognition. So please, GIVE CONNIE BRITTON AN EMMY ALREADY!!
7. Bonus lesson: Teddy is an idiot!
So very well written and analyzed! The Luke and Rayna lesson is so good and you really show how Rayna is the best person here, superior, and actually a very sympathetic person, treating Luke way better than he deserves, without giving up herself. Although she does it with a bit, or a chunk, of sadness. Being determined is a tough job!
Gunnar sure is a bit of a mess, and doesn't really get it together, and I think his storylines are often a bit fast and sketchy. Wonder what the rest of the season will have in store for him and I hope it is something longer that sets him on a journey.
Deacon certainly got the memo, and Teddy doesn't get any memos at all! But he is not an idiot 🙂 He is just scared and confused. He really lost his way after divorcing Rayna, and while she set out a course and follows it adamantly, he has no idea of where he is going. I wish he will figure it out!
Eeek! …and I meant to write "scarred and confused", not "scared".


There were difficult days, to be sure. Days when J-Shun Harris wondered if football was worth the pain and trouble.
ACL tears in both knees — one to his right during the summer of 2015, and one to his left last August — will do that.
The first couple weeks after surgery are the most difficult, and with Harris shelved for a second consecutive season last year, he debated whether this sport had a payoff for him.
Now, he's in the midst of the first full week of fall camp, ready to reclaim a place inside IU's receiving corps along with a job as a return man on special teams.
Harris, who hasn't played in a game since IU beat Purdue on Nov. 29, 2014, says he feels 100 percent healthy after missing each of the past two seasons.
And he has high expectations for his return this fall.
Those goals include a quest to make at least 10 touchdown receptions. As a freshman, he caught 18 passes for 168 yards and two scores, finishing third on IU's team in yards and fourth in receptions.
That production came during a season when IU lost two quarterbacks to transfers prior to the season, lost two more quarterbacks to season-ending injuries in the same game at Iowa midway through the fall and was forced to throw true freshman Zander Diamont into the fires of Big Ten football across the final six games.
Even with a suboptimal quarterback situation, the 5-foot-8 Harris flashed his potential as a reliable target out of the slot. After the season, he earned All-Big Ten Freshman team honors from 247 Sports and BTN.com. He was also named IU's Newcomer of the Year.
IU coach Tom Allen entered fall camp last week without having seen that version of Harris. Since Allen arrived as defensive coordinator in the spring of 2016, Harris has been sidelined.
But through the first few days of camp, Allen is beginning to see what Harris can bring to the offense. In Friday's practice, for example, Harris made an impressive catch on a deflected ball near the sideline.
While he recovered from his first ACL injury in 2015, Harris watched videos of NFL players who had recovered from similar injuries and then returned to play at a high level. During a long, and at times difficult, recovery process, seeing others thrive helped boost his morale.
He did the same thing this time, too, while leaning on the support of his parents and teammates who had also dealt with similar injuries.
As Harris continued to recover during the course of the past year, he noticed his rehabilitation was moving at a nice pace. The deeper he dove into rehab, the more familiar the process became.
Having endured it all only a year prior, he knew about little things, like making sure his leg was straight while he sat around his home and relaxed at his leisure.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the theory and practice of international economic sanctions. The application of international economic sanctions and debate about their effectiveness and scale of losses are now at the centre of international politics. Analysis of key factors, mechanisms and socio-economic consequences of economic sanctions in the world economy need a conceptual understanding. The subject of the research is international economic sanctions. According to known practice, economic sanctions policy is based largely on the discretionary approach of using, as required, a policy of rigid rules, which is clearly reflected in the mechanisms, means and instruments of its practical implementation. Economic sanctions are the integral part of international economic policy, implemented through the theory of public (rational) choice, structural theory (cost-issue model), decision-making theory, the theory of coordination and cooperative games, etc. The hierarchical nature of the mechanism for the application of sanctions is available in three main levels: global, regional and national. There are three types of economic sanctions: trade, investment or financial ones, and so-called targeted sanctions or "smart" sanctions (transportation and communications restrictions). The case of introduction of economic sanctions, especially by supranational bodies of international integration organisations, namely the EU, is of particular importance for economic policy coordination. The specific consequences of imposing economic sanctions take on various socio-economic dimensions, the main ones of them indeed being the economic growth rates. The economic sanctions demonstrate how the individual countries, regional and international organizations react on huge violations of human rights, sovereignty of countries, international law in general. Methodological basis of the research comprise the list of theoretical and empirical methods of research; in article, the analysis of recent research publications subject under the discussion has been provided, the results obtaining with statistical data have been compared, the practical recommendations, received on the base of survey results have been suggested. To examine how the Iranian economy responds to sanctions imposed by the US and other countries we have constructed vector autoregression model. To test the variables of the model for unit root we have used augmented Dickey-Fuller, Phillips-Perron and Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin criteria, which have shown that almost half of the indicators are first-order integrated, with the rate of inflation and investment, in relation to GDP, GDP growth rate, imports of goods and services and oil rent are stationary, that is zero-order integrated. The US sanctions have increased oil price fluctuations in the Middle East region. The results of the study have shown that economic sanctions nowadays are a comprehensive tool in global economic wars, which effectiveness largely depends on the ratio of the economic power of the sanction imposing country to the sanctioned one.

The first, Unique Performance Scam has been setup by one disgruntled customer who has handed over $140,000 to Unique and has only three photos of a battered shell to show for it.
On the site readers are encouraged to email their bad experiences with the company. Ebay listings have also been setup warning of the shabby dealings, and emails have been posted from people who have had similar dealings.
My family and i have always supported cscf.org, Carroll Shelby as fans and car enthusiasts.
In spring of 2007 my wife and i purchased car #34 from Unique Performances' John Logan and Doug Hasty in Farmer's Branch Texas. We were deceived and lied to after we wired $170,000+ of our hard earned money to them! The car we purchased was actually on consignment, yet we signed a contract that DID NOT disclose this very important detail.
We have filed complaints against Unique Performance and Carroll Shelby for damages, in addition we are seeking compensation for breach of contract and fraud. It is now mid-October and we still do not have title our transaction/contract with Unique Performance is open and incomplete. The vehicle (CSE-34) had 800 miles when we took delivery. To date the vehicle itself + total repairs and upgrades (for safety) have been well over $200,000.00.
Because Doug Hasty and Unique Performance has made zero effort to resolve this dilemma, i felt compelled to contact/ inform you.
The second site, Fixeleanor.com, has been setup to show how badly one such Unique Performance car was put together. The site details all the problems the customer had and what was need to fix it. Go over and check it out, it's unbelievable!
Hey there, interesting story about Unique Performance. I hadn't heard that and I try to keep up. You're doing some nice blogging over here. I'm trying to write some interesting blogs at my website: http://www.myrideisme.com. Please take a look and post some picture of your Mustang as you're building it and when it's done.
