Another View: Israel's fate is in President Obama's hands
This represents a significant shift in their relationship. For much of the past year, Netanyahu set the agenda in talks about Iran. His ceaseless and dire warnings about Iran's deadly plans helped persuade Obama to strengthen sanctions, launch a series of expensive and possibly dangerous sabotage efforts against the nuclear program, promise repeatedly that the U.S. was ready to use force, and build an international coalition of sometimes unwilling partners to check Iran's ambitions.
Netanyahu's ephemeral power was partly due to the U.S. election calendar. Last year, he had the power to derail Obama's campaign. If Israel had struck Iran before the election in November, as Netanyahu was considering doing, the United States might have found itself in the midst of yet another Middle East war. Such a conflict, the conventional wisdom went, would not have been of great help to Obama's reelection effort.
But last September, Netanyahu gave Obama a gift. At the United Nations, Netanyahu announced that, in his considered view, the world had perhaps six to nine months more before Iran would be ready to enrich enough uranium to make a bomb. By establishing this new red line in 2013, Netanyahu allowed Obama to run for reelection without fear that the Persian Gulf would soon be catching fire. The President was thankful for the gesture. He called Netanyahu shortly after the speech to express his appreciation for the "time and space" Netanyahu's speech gave the U.S. Their relationship subsequently soured (for the fifth or sixth time) when Netanyahu's government announced plans to build new settlements in a sensitive area east of Jerusalem, but for a while, it could have been reasonably argued that the two men were getting along.
Although Netanyahu achieved much of what he wanted - he concentrated the attention of the most powerful man in the world on a rogue nuclear program that is more of a threat to Israel than to the U.S. - what he did at the U.N. was out of character for a man who believes that the state of Israel exists so that Jews will never again be dependent on outsiders for their safety.
The Israeli columnist Ari Shavit, writing in Haaretz, was brutal last week about the consequences of Netanyahu's decision to defer action. Shavit argued that Iran is moving rapidly to the point where it would be immune to the sort of one-time, pinpoint airstrike that Israel could plausibly achieve. "Israel's counter-threat is dissipating and losing its strength," he wrote. "As a result, for the first time in its history, Israel will soon have to place its fate in the hands of others. The Israelis will not decide whether to be or not to be - President Barack Obama will decide."
How did this unlikely situation come to pass? Obama and Netanyahu spent 2011 and 2012 in a staring contest, and Netanyahu blinked. He blinked because he seems to have realized the limits of Israeli independence. A core component of Israeli national-security doctrine holds that no regional adversary should be allowed to gain control of a nuclear weapon. A second component is to avoid getting on the bad side of the U.S., Israel's main benefactor and diplomatic protector. These two ideas came into conflict over the Iran nuclear issue, and the relationship with the U.S. has, at least provisionally, won out.
Obama cleverly put his thumb on the scale by dispatching American generals and intelligence officials to Israel, where they painted nightmare scenarios for their counterparts about the possible consequences of an Israeli strike. Partly as a result, Netanyahu and his former defense minister, Ehud Barak, found themselves without the support of many of their national- security officials at crucial moments.
For public consumption, of course, both American and Israeli officials say that their governments see eye-to-eye on Iran. Both Obama and Netanyahu oppose containment - the idea that the West could acquiesce to a nuclear Iran while checking its aggression - and both have threatened to use military force.
But their threat clocks aren't in sync, and Netanyahu's real worry is that Iran will use the next year or so to make the costs of a potential American strike appallingly high. Two Israeli officials, who requested anonymity to speak frankly, told me that if they were in charge of defending the Iranian nuclear program, they would spend the next year building duplicate facilities in heavily populated areas and spreading out the program in such a way as to obviate the chance that a limited American military operation would work. Many Israelis, of course, are predisposed to think that Obama's promise to stop Iran is only rhetorical. If it came time to act, they assume he would balk. And the likelihood of balking is higher, they argue, if the Iranian nuclear program becomes harder to hit.
Netanyahu will raise these concerns when he meets Obama. But unlike last year, Obama won't be facing an election. This time, he might be in a position to tell Netanyahu things he doesn't want to hear.

The Florida Panthers fresh off their 500th victory of the franchise, bring their three game winning streak to the high altitude of Denver, Colorado to take on the young and surprisingly good Colorado Avalanche tonight. The Panthers are coming off a shootout win over Minnesota Tuesday night in which they held the Wild to eleven shots on goal, which included two in overtime.
Quite the tidy defence and this is without the recently departed Jordan Leopold and Dennis Seidenberg who were traded at the deadline. Now getting a chance to "show their stuff" will be youngsters like Dmitry Kulikov, Jason Garrison and Keaton Ellerby. Strange isn't how we lose or rather remove two of our better defenseman and start playing better. Purely coincidence I think.
This will be game two of a three game road trip as Florida attempts to hang on in the playoff race and their hopes are purely in the hands of goaltender Tomas Vokoun. If he continues to stand on his head, and the Panthers can somehow score enough goals to win 80% of their remaining games, anything is possible.
Ok, wake me up!
The Panthers have 14 goals in this recent winning streak as it appears that they've had a bit of a scoring outburst since going 15 games where they scored two goals or less. Michael Frolik is finding the net with four goals in his last three games, and Cory Stillman located the net twice against Minnesota. While Little Stevie couldn't seem to find his arse with both hands Tuesday, he still leads the team in goals with 23. A career high for him. However the rust continues to pile up on Rostislav Olesz who hasn't scored in 15 consecutive games. If the Panthers win tonight it will be a season high fourth in a row. They are 1-2-1 in their last four games in Colorado.
The Avalanche have been one of the best surprises of the season and have a bunch of young players to credit their success to. First round draft pick in the 2009 draft, Matt Duchene, and players like Chris Stewart (Anthony's brother), Paul Stasny and Brandon Yip (recently injured) have been leading the charge.
Duchene has 23 goals and 24 helpers, while Stewart has 25 goals and 27 assists. This team coached by rookie coach and former player Joe Sacco is fast, talented, and fun to watch. Oh, and by the way they are winning games with this young roster and in a playoff spot to boot. Quite the opposite of what was originally expected for them. Pressure to win? Yes. Expected to win? Not this year. Guess what? They've drafted well, built their roster well, and developed their young players.
Alot of credit can go to former Panther backup turned starter, Craig Anderson in goal for Colorado. Anderson has 33 wins so far this year and has earned the accolades that he's been getting, as he has seemingly established himself as a number one goalie, and probably the free agent steal of the season.
It will be intersting to see if the thin air affects the Cats and if they can actually play the way they have recently against some of the lower caliber teams. Let's face it, Colorado is a good team. A team that is going to make the playoffs. If the Panthers have any chance of getting better, this is a game they need to win. They can continue to play the spoiler and continue to play without pressure, but no matter what, don't let this late season surge fool you.
We've seen it before.
Thanks for reading.

Wonderful school! The teachers are great, the students are extremely well-behaved, and the curriculum is outstanding!
I have two kids at nfc. One has been there for five years and the other one for two and have nothing but good things to say about them.
My child attended two years at NFC and thrived. Having since moved to Tampa and enrolled at one of the premier schools here in Tampa, we find that NFC was even better than we perceived at the time.
We love this school! Our children have been attending North Florida Christian for the past 4 years and we couldn't be happier with the education they have received. Every teacher has been awesome and completely dedicated to the acedemic education as well as the character education of both boys. We couldn't be happier and plan on being part of this family for many years to come.
I have three children attending NFCS. As an educator myself, I have yet to see a better character building, academic, and sports program in our area.I am continually happy with my kids' progress in all areas.
My daughter just began school at NFC this year and already loves it. My husband and I are extremely happy with the education she is receiving and the teachers seem wonderful.

TABLE J.1 An Electricity Cost Calculation Method Used for Energy Supply Options (Constant Dollars)
NOTE: Capital recovery factor = 0.106 (constant
dollar based on EPRI
(1989) for a 30-year plant life and 3.6% real discount rate); CF = capacity
factor (fraction); mills = 1/10¢ = $0.001; 1 year = 8,760 hours.
EPRI estimate as the cost of building a nuclear power plant varies a great deal for a wide variety of reasons including the time it takes for licensing and construction. Recently built nuclear power plants have cost from just below EPRI's estimate to twice EPRI's figure (U.S. Department of Energy, 1990). If the nuclear power plant construction time in France, Japan, and the United Kingdom can be achieved in the United States, the cost are likely to be in the low end of the range. However, if current experience in the United States as to the licensing and construction time are evidence of what the future will be, nuclear power costs are more likely to be in the high end of the range. Therefore, a range of cost from EPRI's estimate to twice EPRI's estimate was used in the Mitigation Panel's analysis.
Although four discount rates (3, 6, 10, and 30 percent) were used for the conservation options, only one (6 percent) was used in the power generation calculations because utility accounting, as described above, differs from conventional calculation of capital recovery. To use other discount rates, assumptions on acceptable return that the panel was unwilling to make would be needed. Furthermore, in cases such as biomass, only the potential emission reduction and cost could be estimated. In short, the panel has attempted to use what it believed to be the most practical and realistic way of assessing the potential of energy supply options.

Talkers New York 2014 Videos Begin Posting Today. First Up: Sean Hannity Keynote Address. As promised last week, today (7/15) marks the first day of TALKERS magazine's video posting of speeches, sessions and presentations made during last month's 17th annual installment of the talk media industry's longest running and most important national convention – Talkers New York 2014. The presentation of these informative and historic recordings is sponsored by WYD Media Sales, LLC., the rep firm recently launched by Ron Hartenbaum and headed by John Murphy, that specializes in the advertising sales of spoken-word media on all popular platforms. The world-wide showing of these very special videos kicks off today with the event's powerful keynote address by Premiere Networks and Fox News Channel superstar Sean Hannity. The focus of Hannity's address is a critical look at the present state of Nielsen Audio ratings which the talk show host strongly suggests do not do an adequate job of rating the true audience of talk radio which is spread across a variety of digital platforms — none of which Hannity claims are presently represented in the giant media research firm's metrics-gathering system. Hannity told the hundreds of broadcasters in attendance, "Clear Channel pays Nielsen $100 million a year for bad information; Cumulus pays them $50 million a year for crappy information. If we don't confront the ratings failure that exists today and has not kept up with new technology, we are literally paying for our own demise. It's madness!" Hannity was joined onstage during his speech by renowned talk radio programmers Phil Boyce, VP of spoken word programming, Salem Communications and Greg Moceri, CEO, Moceri Media. Both men concurred with Hannity's premise adding their views that today's distorted ratings picture falls into the hands of people and organizations who use it for political motives to create the false impression that news/talk radio is losing its audience and influence, when the exact opposite is true. To see the entire session, please click here. Coming tomorrow (7/16), WFAN, New York legendary personality Mike Francesa delivering the Talkers New York 2014 sports talk keynote address. The TALKERS conference videos were recorded by Art Vuolo.

CBS Radio president Dan Mason and Clear Channel chair and chief executive officer Bob Pittman will participate in this year's Radio Show "Super Session." NAB executive vice president of radio John David will moderate the "From the Control Room to the Board Room" discussion. One common thread Mason and Pittman share is that the two group heads started in the industry as on-air talents. The session is, therefore, intended to illustrate how their early careers influence current leadership and programming decisions. Produced by the Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) and the NAB, the Radio Show will be held in two months (9/10 – 12) in Indianapolis. The Mason-Pittman "Super Session" takes place on September 11.

GCN owner Ted Anderson comments, "We are very excited to have 'Super Human Radio' join the Genesis Communications Network.

According to Lanore, "No matter what religious theology you subscribe to, we have this one life right now and we want to make it the best life we can. We want to live long healthy lives. Something as simple as not getting startled with avoidable disease is our right and not a privilege." Having weighed more than 300 pounds, Lanore experienced his own major weight-related health issues, however, he transformed himself about 14 years ago. The 12:00 noon – 2:00 pm weekday "Super Human Radio" discusses ways to deal with similar issues for those facing potential complications with weight gain and diseases associated with unhealthy lifestyle.

Meet Michael Berry
LOS ANGELES — Granted, it doesn't quite convey the magnitude of Howard Stern's "King of All Media" bravado, but "Czar of Talk Radio" is the tongue-in-cheek manner Michael Berry refers to himself. "If President Obama can name a czar for everything, then I'm the 'Czar of Talk Radio,'" Berry reasons.
The moniker took off when he started it four years ago and Berry has capitalized on it. "Other talk hosts say they wish they branded it before I did."

SiriusXM Reports Positive Q1 with Revenue Up 12%; Company Involved in Digital Dashboard Technology Rollout. That 12% percent increase over the same period a year ago is on revenue of $897 million. New permanent CEO Jim Meyer had every reason to be bubbly during his first investor conference call as official chief executive officer of the satcaster. He reports the company grew its subscriber base to a new record high on new subscriptions of 453,000 during the quarter. From a financial perspective he stated, "We are proud to have achieved the highest suggested EBITDA margin in the history of the company in the first quarter. We expect to achieve a 30% adjusted EBITDA margin this year, up from 27% last year and we continue to target 40% plus margins over time. You will see us move over the next few years to become one of the highest margin businesses among major media companies in the United States. Our ability to convert the bulk of that EBITDA in the free cash flow is also unmatched in the subscription media world." He said the company is riding the "tailwind in the new car market as it recovers." Meyer told investors the company is committed to having the best content, spoke about new channel additions as well as new talent joining the company and mentioned talk host Michael Smerconish. Addressing the specific question about GM's plans for its future "digital dashboard," Meyer said he couldn't talk about any one manufacturer's plans but was able to state, "I believe GM is on a leadership strategy in terms of where I believe the auto industry will go in general. And that is, I believe, over a mid and long period of time — you can define how many years that is — you will see automakers move to what I will call embedded connectivity that will be LTE-based that will give them lots of options for what they want to do for their customers and their vehicles. I think it's very important that Sirius XM participates in that rollout of technology as it occurs over the next three to seven years and that's exactly what we're all about when we referred to our connected-car strategy. This is something that…I want to reiterate again today, that we're moving and reprioritizing a lot of our technical resources and frankly now our commercial programming resources towards making that goal happen as we go out over time." Thanks to Seeking Alpha for the conference call transcript. You can read the whole shebang here.
Tom Wheeler Gets Nod from Obama for FCC Chief. On the political side of things, many Democrats wanted to see President Obama select a woman for the post being vacated by Julius Genachowski, but the president nominated a man with a telecommunications background who was very helpful in getting him elected. Politico reports that managing director of Core Capital Partners, Tom Wheeler, (along with his wife) worked Iowa for six weeks straight during the president's first campaign. Although Wheeler will get some grief from those who are suspicious of his past tenure as a lobbyist with both the National Cable and Telecommunications Association and the CTIA (Cellular Telephone Industry Association), he has experience in the industry having founded numerous cable and communications services businesses. National Association of Broadcasters president and CEO Gordon Smith states, "NAB welcomes the nomination of Tom Wheeler as chairman of the FCC. He has the experience and temperament to serve the agency with distinction, and we look forward to working with him."

Walton & Johnson Take Over Mornings on KPRC, Houston. Just four months after the Walton & Johnson [John Walton (left) and Steve Johnson (right)] morning show was dropped from Clear Channel's classic rock KKRW, Houston "97.3 The Arrow," the program is brought back to the Houston airwaves as the new morning program on the company's news/talk KPRC. The duo was replaced on "The Arrow" by longtime St. Louis radio personality J.C. Corcoran. Clear Channel Houston director of AM programming Bryan Erickson says, "We are thrilled to have Walton & Johnson back on KPRC. They have a proven track record of great ratings and we look forward to them continuing that success on KPRC." Walton & Johnson made KPRC their flagship beginning in 2007 but moved to "The Arrow" in 2009. Off KPRC as a result of the move is Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo who is based at Clear Channel's WOAI, San Antonio and is heard there and on other Clear Channel news/talk stations.
Armstrong & Getty to Join KFMB, San Diego in June.

Armstrong & Getty are based at Clear Channel's KSTE, Sacramento and heard in other markets in Northern California including San Francisco on KKSF. This is a big move for the duo as they are added to a non-Clear Channel station – Midwest TV's KFMB. Program director Dave Sniff states, "Like any great radio morning show, Armstrong and Getty have that unique ability to not only connect with the listener but to become their companions. They fit in amazingly well among the great storytellers that are part of 760 KFMB's character and lineage. They're not so much a 'talk show' as a 'mock show.'"
Cox Media's WOKV, Jacksonville Adds 104.5 FM Signal. Market news/talk powerhouse WOKV got a little more powerful as Cox Media Group gives the 104.5 FM signal long-occupied by now-defunct rock station WFYV to the station to boost its coverage of the region. WOKV program director Mike Dorwart says, "Our listeners told us loud and clear that we needed more power. Moving to 104.5 FM means that, for the first time, our listeners can hear us crystal clear, everywhere in northeast Florida, both day and night. The most noticeable improvement will be heard by listeners in Baker, Clay, St. Johns, and Nassau counties. They now have full coverage from WOKV, 24/7, on 104.5 FM. Duval residents will also hear a big difference, especially those who listen at work. Our new signal also gives reliable coverage to listeners in Flagler, Putnam, Bradford, Union and Columbia counties in Florida, as well as Camden and Charlton counties in Georgia." The station has been simulcast on the 106.5 FM frequency but that class A FM is much smaller. WOKV will continue to be heard on 106.5 as the company directs listeners to the new 104.5 frequency.

Merloni is currently co-host of the "Mut and Merloni" show on WEEI 93.7 FM. Merloni also enjoyed a nine-year professional career in Major League Baseball, the first five with the Red Sox. Entercom Boston vice president of programming Jason Wolfe says, "John has done a stellar job in every role we've had for him and has absolutely earned this promotion. He's hosted the pre- and post-game shows for the Sox many times before and was a natural choice for us to fill this important job. Sean's play-by-play experience speaks for itself. He's one of the greats in the industry right now, and Lou's expertise is second to none. There's no baseball man in Boston who knows the Sox better than Lou."

Hey Joe, Where Are You Going with That Mic In Your Hand?
Picking the right topics when working in multiple markets
By Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo
Radio Talk Show Host
(EDITOR'S NOTE: Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo – a member of the TALKERS Heavy Hundred – is the host of mornings on KPRC, Houston; late afternoons on WOAI, San Antonio; weekends locally on KOA, Denver and weekends nationally on The Weekend show. He is also a major "go to" fill-in host for such hosts as Glenn Beck, Todd Schnitt and many others.)
HOUSTON/SAN ANTONIO/DENVER/EVERYWHERE – "Good morning, Houston." "Good afternoon, San Antonio." "Happy Saturday, Denver." "Good Weekend, America." These are all things I'm lucky enough to say either every day or every week. It's a supreme compliment to have the support of the stations in these markets and from Clear Channel and Premiere and quite a challenge. Each show has its own feel, flow and audience make up and reaction. So, over the last 11 years, I've learned what works everywhere and what is market specific.

How Do You Know It's a Good Topic and That It Will Work Where You're Broadcasting? That's a great question with an increasing number of radio talk show hosts working "locally" by remote on more than one station or simply being syndicated across a region or the entire nation. So, TALKERS magazine went to a broadcaster who is eminently qualified to answer the question – Joe "Pags" Pagliarulo, a member of the TALKERS Heavy hundred — who hosts mornings on KPRC, Houston; late afternoons on WOAI, San Antonio; weekends locally on KOA, Denver and weekends nationally on "The Weekend" show. He is also a major "go to" fill-in host for such hosts as Glenn Beck, Todd Schnitt and many others. Pags writes, "Many years ago, I thought it was easy to gauge. Whatever gets the phone ringing, right? Not so much. I take a lot of phone calls. I'd say more than you might hear on other shows. But, I insist they be of substance and advance the conversation or be really funny and entertaining. Making the phones ring, it turns out, is easy. 'Abortion, for or against? Here's the number.' That's sure to melt the lines down and guaranteed to be a horrible show. Those blinking lights are addictive and the interaction intoxicating, but I once heard a stat that showed 2% of all listeners will ever call into a radio show. How do you make sure you're engaging the other 98% as well?" Read Pags' entire article here.

Talk Host Ralph Bailey Exits KNZR, Bakersfield. Afternoon drive talk host Ralph Bailey resigns suddenly from his position with the Buckley Broadcasting station and although he gives no hint of where he may surface, The Bakersfield Californian speculates he may be headed for American General Media's crosstown KERN. Bailey wrote on his Facebook page, in part, "It was with a heavy heart that I tendered my resignation to Buckley Radio today. However, future opportunities and challenges make it virtually impossible not to seek out new adventures. I would like to thank Steve Darnell, Kathy Baker and, posthumously, Rick Buckley. To my colleagues, I hope I was a team player who made the station and the client top priority and someone who grasped the concept of pulling on one side of the rope.

Gil Hoffman writes in the Jerusalem Post that there was an event for Christians last night in Caesarea and a Holocaust-related event is planned for today (8/22). Beck has been criticized in some quarters for the events. Rabbi Joshua Levine Grater wrote in the Los Angeles Jewish Journal that Beck's events are "nothing more than a media driven, money-making, self-serving, end-of-times messianic-lunacy circus show." But Beck says the Wednesday rally will be nothing of the kind and encourages his critics to watch it. He states he's losing about $1 million of his own money sponsoring the event. He's quoted in the Jerusalem Post saying, "I am doing it because I'm obedient and I do what I'm supposed to do: to show the world the courage of Israelis and the choice between good and evil and life and death, and to remind people that life's not a spectator sport." Beck claims the event is not political and simply serves to show the world that Israel does not stand alone. Some Arab Knesset members are warning Beck's rally could spark violence. (August 22, 2011)
Michael Harrison to Deliver Annual "State of Talk Radio" Address at Forthcoming NAB/RAB Radio Show in Chicago. For the seventh consecutive year, TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison will deliver his annual "State of Talk Media" address at a special Info-Session at the NAB/RAB Radio Show. This year's presentation, sponsored by TALKERS, will take place during the national confab's first morning between 10:30 am and 11:45 am on Wednesday, September 14 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago hotel and is open to all registrants of the conference. During this year's address, Harrison will be focusing on The 10 Most Important Things Broadcasters Need to Know about the Enormous Changes Taking Place in Talk Media at this Very Moment. They will include an analysis of the invasion of FM by talk formats, the material impact of the PPM on talk radio programming, what we can all learn from sports talk radio, the changing political spectrum of talk stationality, the relationship between automobiles and talk radio, new formats on the horizon, and how the internet is rewiring the human brain — among others. Harrison will be introduced by McVay/Cook Media consultant Holland Cooke. (August 22, 2011)

KSTP, Minneapolis Pairs "Mr. Phunn" with Judd Zulgad. Hubbard Broadcasting announces evening host Joe "Mr. Phunn" Anderson moves to middays to co-host the 9:00 am to 12:00 noon show with Judd Zulgad beginning September 6. Zulgad is the Minneapolis Star Tribune sports columnist who's exiting his newspaper gig to focus on his sports talk host career at KSTP. Zulgad has hosted a weekend show on the station since February and it was recently announced he'll be joining KSTP for a daily show. KSTP program director Brad Lane has not announced who will fill Anderson's 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm evening show but says of the pairing of Zulgad and Anderson, "We think this duo will not only provide Twin Cities sports fans a new option for 9:00 am to 12:00 noon apart from their normal listening routine, but become a mainstay in the market and a wonderful lead in for Reusse & Mackey."

Citadel's WLS, Chicago Woos Mary Frances Bragiel from WBBM. Veteran Chicago news person Mary Frances Bragiel leaves CBS Radio's all-news WBBM, Chicago to become the afternoon and evening news anchor and reporter at Citadel's news/talk WLS, according to Time Out Chicago's Robert Feder. There's been a lot of movement in the radio news game in Chicago recently and Feder observes, "The position Bragiel fills has been open since WLS promoted Dave Stewart to midday news anchor, and both Lise Dominique and Monica DeSantis moved to FM News 101.1. The realignment puts seasoned Chicago radio veterans in every weekday news slot on WLS, including John Dempsey in mornings, Stewart in middays, Jim Johnson in afternoons, and Bragiel in evenings."

WWRL, New York to Broadcast Live from National King Memorial Dedication and Rally. The Access.1 Communications station is broadcasting live from Washington, DC on Saturday, August 27 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm with Rev. Al Sharpton and the National Action Network. The broadcast will be anchored by Professor Ron Daniels and Rennie Bishop. Sharpton, whose radio program airs on WWRL, states, "There are relatively few moments in our lives that make history. The weekend of August 27-28, 2011 will be one for the history books as we not only commemorate the 48th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s 'I Have A Dream Speech,' but also when the world bears witness to the unveiling of the National King Memorial. As the rally and march will signify, and for those who may be quick to forget the legacy of Dr. King, let us remember that he died while fighting for worker's rights and the basic human dignity of all." (August 22, 2011)
Clear Channel Houston Promotes Two in Sales. Clear Channel Houston director of sales Bo Brown announces two promotions. Bob Merril takes on the role of general sales manager for news/talk KTRH, Houston. He's been serving as GSM for two other AM stations in Houston. Of Merril, Brown says, "Bob and I have worked together for the last seven years building a solid AM team. His sports marketing background and never-quit attitude have been a key factor in our success." Jeff Rovinsky returns to the Houston cluster from Charlotte where he was local sales manager with Clear Channel. He'll be general sales manager for sports KMBE and news/talk KPRC. Brown says, "When Jeff was offered the local sales manager position in Charlotte a year ago we lost a very talented media executive that excelled in relationship building and direct sales. Bringing him back as a general sales manager for KBME/KPRC is an opportunity we never expected. He is a perfect fit." (August 22, 2011)
Griese to Replace Mandich for Dophins Radio Broadcasts. Bob Griese and Jim Mandich were both part of the legendary 1972 Miami Dolphins team that went undefeated to a Super Bowl victory. Mandich, who'd been a sports talk host on Beasley's WQAM and was a longtime voice of the Dolphins on its radio play-by-play broadcasts, died in April after a battle with bile duct cancer. Griese retired from his TV career last year but will be part of Dolphins radio play-by-play this season as he joins Jimmy Cefalo and Joe Rose in the broadcast booth. (August 22, 2011)

The Royal-Pedic Natural Organic Cotton Pillowtop Mattress Pad is the ultimate mattress topper for extra cushioning and maximum support when sleeping on a firmer mattress. The pillowtop cradles your body, relieving stress and tension while you sleep. Its construction provides additional pressure-point relief to the hips and shoulders, so you can sleep longer and more restfully in one position. The GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton fabric cover is quilted with two thick layers of untreated French lambs wool for ventilation, allergen protection, and physical comfort. Below the quilting is a layer of natural latex to complete the multi-layers of cozy cushioning. Once the pillowtop pad is placed on the mattress, it will not slip. Fitted sheets or mattress encasings, sized to accommodate the extra depth, will also aid in holding the pad in place. Available in your choice of 2", 3" or 4" thickness in Twin, Long Twin, Full, Queen, King and California King sizes.

Also, Somers, what will it take for you to give me Steyn?
Your playing XI needs to be a balanced side. Your top 14 should be a regular squad that you would take on tour - so you may well want a back up keeper.
That said you have two good back up keepers and you can't put both in your 14. How do you rank your keepers for England?
