I can't help but compared these 2 shows while watching. Turns out I have a good reason for making this comparison in my head.
Andy Samberg's 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' character inspired by 'The Wire'
Samberg, 34, plays a smug and effective detective in the workplace comedy set in a Brooklyn police precinct. Although his character, Jake Peralta, can be goofy, he's also the best detective in the house.
"He's like McNulty from 'The Wire,' except instead of drinking problems and philandering he's being a jackass," Samberg said. "I think it's important for the show to work, because otherwise why do you care? If he's actually good at it, you can forgive him from being a jackass."
"He's comedy McNulty!" added executive producer Dan Goor.
The file: Checked-out desk jockies Hitchcock and Scully, counting the days until their retirement — not that it will change their lives much.
The partnership: "They're similar to older detectives on 'The Wire,' but when you watch that, it's infuriating," Samberg says. "Whereas here, it's like, 'Please don't ever work Hitchcock and Scully!' It's the joy of my day to see them just goofing off."

CNN Reporting That Newlywed Husband May Have Been Blindfolded Before Being Pushed Over Cliff in Glacier Park
CNN Justice is reporting that Jordan Linn Graham, the Kalispell woman accused of pushing her newlywed husband off a cliff in Glacier National Park, wants her trial postponed after prosecutors told her attorney they have evidence that the man may have been blindfolded before falling to his death, according to court documents.
Graham's attorney, Michael Donahoe, wrote in court documents last Friday that the FBI interrogated his client for over one and a half hours without the interview being recorded. Donahoe claimed the FBI did so in order to "shape" his client's statements about what happened on the cliff near a popular spot called "The Loop" on July 7.
Graham has been charged with first and second degree murder and for making false statements in the death of her husband, Cody Johnson.

Aqua Ducks." It is possible to imagine Gyro inflating the recovery balloons to a large enough size to carry the island away from its surfacing point -- how convenient that the Fish Folk threw the balloons into the "junkyard" to begin with -- but the other gear used to pilot and steer the island certainly wasn't among the supplies carried in the Gold Digger (unless you disagree with Gloria Steinem and believe that a fish does need a bicycle). The Ducks would also have needed time to pull Scrooge's money into a tidy pile, ditch the upside-down ship (which probably would have made the island less aerodynamically stable), and pick up any other comestibles they might need. As for the "infant exchange," I suggested in the "Aqua Ducks" review that Doofus' mom did "mind" (her son going on another mission with Scrooge, that is) and that Scrooge took advantage of the opportunity to ask his Nephews to join him. Webby, presumably, was still busily engaged in eating (or at least trying to do so).
Enjoying the interchanges between Glomgold and the Grand Kishki would, I suppose, count as a "guilty pleasure," considering the ethnic implications. Given Hamilton Camp's interest in Eastern spirituality through the so-called Subud movement, I wonder whether he had certain twinges of doubt about depicting this particular caricature. Even so, it's difficult not to laugh at most of these bite-sized comedy bits. I have always had the impression that the Kishki of "Scales" started out as pretty much the same naive-but-otherwise-on-the-ball character we saw at the beginning of "A Drain on the Economy" and then proceeded to get more and more childlike as the ep ground on, but now I'm not so sure. Consider that Glomgold almost immediately tells "Kishy" outright that Scrooge's fortune is probably still "at the bottom of the ocean." Assuming that specific details of the tycoons' money movements have been kept from the public -- a reasonable precaution on the part of both Scrooge and Glomgold, I'd say -- how would Flinty know this unless he were somehow involved in the sinking of the money? But "goodness-gosh-no," the Kishki doesn't buy the freely offered clue, and the ep proceeds in a similar vein from there. "Kishy"'s fascination with Glomgold's "Amazing Tartan-Kilted Schemecoat" remains extremely funny; his ignorance of the concept of "spin dry" and mistaking of the appearance of the flying island for the abrupt onset of "bedtime" a bit less so. The package as a whole still manages to amuse, mostly because of the fine performances by Camp and Hal Smith.
Top Duck," what are we to make of their triple snaffling of a grappling hook while flying inside a large tent? It's hard to imagine any of the pilots who appeared in TaleSpin -- yes, even Ol' Baloo -- pulling off a stunt like that. Burger's in-flight "fake machine gun" antics add to the cognitive dissonance. The phrase idiot savant comes to mind.
the Duck family tree, but Dewey's mention of the Junior Woodchucks archaeology merit badge suggests that a wee bit of self-centeredness may have been involved as well. For Scrooge to give the boys a scolding for their carelessness would not have been out of character. I might even have been able to tolerate a line of dialogue in which Scrooge wished that the "lads" who will presumably inherit his fortune one day would show more responsibility. Claiming that HD&L were "trying to ruin [him]," however, takes things way over the line. In fact, it'd be hard to find a nastier comment issuing from Scrooge's beak in the entire series (though some of his comments about Bubba Duck during the "Time is Money" serial come pretty close).
comedy/tragedy faces" bookend to Kit Cloudkicker's far more dramatic plummet from the Iron Vulture in "Plunder and Lightning, Part 4." Both work perfectly in context.
The Nephews understandably assume that Scrooge and Gyro have perished as a result of their fall, but Unca Donald had better hope that Huey's lament "We're all alone now!" refers specifically to the boys' present situation. (Mrs. Beakley, Webby, and Duckworth might not be amused, either.) Russi Taylor does, as Greg noted, act this fairly thankless scene (including the whole "We gotta win this contest for Unca Scrooge!") rather well. Unfortunately, the first of a number of annoying late-term logic breaks occurs soon after this, as HD&L spot the "glowing X" scale-target below them but fail to pick up on the fact that this might represent evidence that Scrooge did in fact survive. Scrooge's claim that "the laddies came through" isn't quite so bad, because HD&L are, after all, the only characters who could possibly have steered the island to the scales, so it's reasonable for Scrooge to assume that they did so.
The big pelf-pour could have been handled better. The animators flub badly in one instance: when HD&L lose control of the operation, the falling money, which should be tumbling onto the ground next to the scales, just seems to disappear. More troublingly, the gang on the ground, presumably including the Grand Kishki, can clearly see that some of Scrooge's fortune has accidentally been poured onto Glomgold's side of the scales... so, when the contest ends in a tie, shouldn't that mean that Scrooge wins anyway, whether the Nephews find the treasure of Atlantis or not? This really makes "Kishy" look clueless, don't you think?
The "Atlantean treasure reveal" makes for a great climactic visual, but, even here, there's a bit of an aesthetic misstep: when HD&L see Scrooge and Gyro alive and well, they react with... well, I can only characterize it as mild surprise. Surely they should have evinced a bit more glee, given how devastated they were by Scrooge's apparent demise? At least we close with some good gaggery involving the Kishki's continuing fascination with Glomgold's coat. As for the mixing of Scrooge and Glomgold's fortunes during the pouring process, I'm willing to defer to Scrooge's encyclopedic knowledge of the contents of his Money Bin and accept that the two old misers managed to work things out without an untoward number of lawsuits.
So, where does "Catch as Cash Can" rank on the list of the five DuckTales multi-part stories? Well, it certainly lacks the sheer magnificence of "Treasure of the Golden Suns" and the narrative consistency and "global import" of "The Golden Goose." "Super DuckTales" is just about as messy as "Catch," but its component parts are arguably superior, particularly those involving the introduction of Fenton Crackshell, the birth of Gizmoduck, and the wild final chapter set in outer space. I would, however, agree that "Catch" rates higher than "Time is Money." The characterizations and situations in the former may test one's patience, but they don't represent the kind of out-and-out mistakes that foul up various portions of the Bubba Duck serial. Nor is any chapter obvious "filler" in the manner of such "Time"-wasting episodes as "Bubba Trubba" and "Ducks on the Lam." "Catch" could certainly have been much better, but it's still an enjoyable, albeit bumpy, ride.
(GeoX) "Straw that Broke the Camel's Back" notwithstanding, ONE DIME WILL NOT MAKE THAT MUCH DIFFERENCE.
It looks as if you softened this initial reaction in response to Christopher's comment about Barks' "The Second-Richest Duck." I agree with Christopher that the use of Old #1 to break the tie seems quite fitting. Glomgold's subsequent revelation of an extra shovel-load of money, by contrast, seems rather contrived. Since he got his money to Macaroon first and doesn't know the exact amount of money that Scrooge will be bringing after him, it doesn't make much sense for Flinty to hold that much cash in reserve.
(Greg) So we logically go to the skies as a cloud is moving and Scrooge is laughing because Glomgold will never find him and his train up in the clouds as we see a cartoon eye inside the telescope lens. And then we see Scrooge looking on from the Floating City of Atlantis as it's being carried by giant ass pink/green and yellow balloons.
We also get a rather surprising sky-shot of the scales here. Can you see something amiss with the arrangement below?
Whoever built the scales next to a deep ravine must not have been thinking straight, or else must truly be a "Macaroonie." Clearly, any mishap in pouring the money onto the empty scale would cause the cash to fall into the ravine. The ground-level image of the scales that I displayed above does show a cliff of some sort to the left of the scales, but the dropoff doesn't appear to be nearly as sheer as is suggested in the sky-shot.
(Greg) Scrooge and company run back towards the bicycle as we cut back inside the ancient building as the nephews are looking around the area and then [spotted] Glomgold's planes. Ummm; check your internal logic guys; there is a stone CEILING which prevents them from spotting anything.
Yes, based on the visuals we got, they SHOULDN'T be able to see the planes. What, you think that they learned how to distinguish one company's jet engine noises from another's as part of their Junior Woodchuck training?
(Greg) Scrooge is amazed that the balloons didn't pop [when the Beagles shot them] and Gyro on the bicycle casually tells them that they are steel belted. Oooookkkkkaaaayyyy; that [sort of makes] sense as Scrooge praises him and [is] almost tempted him to give him a raise.
Um, since when is Gyro a salaried employee of Scrooge's, as opposed to a freelance inventor?
I think that he actually said "holy nimnul," which would certainly make sense in a WDTVA context.
For professional reasons, I won't be able to do another RETROSPECTIVE for a short while -- probably not until the weekend of the 21st-23rd.
Next: Episode 40, "Ducks of the West."

Cook the Book: 'Salty Snacks'
Whether you're glued to the World Series (go Giants!), addicted to football, or just a passive observer, chances are you'll find yourself at more than a few sports game parties this fall. And while nachos, hot wings, and cheap beer are all welcome game-time snacks, sometimes a break from routine is welcome. Cynthia Nims's new cookbook, Salty Snacks, is chock full of treats like fried shrimp, marinated olives, five-spice duck skin cracklings, and curry pickled quail eggs.
Most of the recipes are quick and easy to throw together the morning of a party; if not, Nims provides clear make-ahead directions. And hey, if you're just looking to satisfy your own salt-tooth (and who doesn't have a salt tooth these days?), there's nothing wrong with whipping up your own personal batch of snacks to keep hidden away at your desk.
This week, we're cooking up a mess of game worthy snacks. We'll start out with trendy Kale Chips with Lemon and Ginger and then dive into decadent Spicy Tortilla Crisps with Queso Fundito. Next, we'll satisfy our sweet teeth with Caramel-Masala Popcorn and Pistachios and then fry up Tempura Green Beans with Tapenade Dip. Finally, we'll end the week with easy-yet-impressive Mustard Soft Pretzels.
Win 'Salty Snacks'
Thanks to the good folks at Ten Speed Press, we have five (5) copies of Salty Snacks to give away this week. All you need to do is tell us the one (salty) snack food you cannot resist in the comments section below.

There's an art music and where's it going to be an idiot at that point and look how quickly all the stuff and changes I mean you you had these. Small little VHS tapes and everything in there and now want to us dvds and and now it's it's all digital and and trying to find something to convert. Years VHS. To dvds is is getting less and less common and harder and harder to find so. It's just there's not going to be really any evidence of us or any any of our writings. Scary stuff it's really really scary stuff. You know what else is terrifying is black eyed children and we've we've talked about black eyed children on the program before and it's one of these things where there's there's conflicting ideas whether this is some type of urban legend. Internet. Generated. Phenomenon or. As we've talked about there's been reports of these things that precede the Internet and down people have claimed to and kind of cut and counted these. A black eyed children were gonna talk with the author Sara Clancy. About her three book series. That focus on the black eyed children she knows a lot about the mythology and the information. I'm behind these reports in the sightings and went into her books and we're talking about that with 39. We have panel and there's a lot of theories out there and and one of the big ones you use it touched on NG view us. The fact that a lot of people sit there and think well listen it came about 1996. And people line. And some things are written but knows there is also if you really looking into the stories and it doesn't just revolve around black eyed kids. I'm black eyed individuals eat and go back and Jesus forever and and look at some of the some history and then the claims. And the experiences of people dealing with it with these types of things. So and of course the Internet gets and how terrible Warren and really more more people start talking about it but disrupt caramel investigator standpoint. These are things I've heard about long before 1996. The united they predate that significantly it is reports in the fifty's plus like he said other phenomenon that could be the same thing and we're gonna get and all that with. Sarah we've got some pre recorder some best of coming up the next couple days because some traveling commitments next week I'm really excited about one of our programs coming up with Sarah Wiseman week she was supposed to be on the program I'm trying to remember maybe about a month ago and there was a mix up in schedules.

Did you get odd looks from friends and family when you started writing things with titles like a pound of flesh terror in the shadows. My dad did us all. A it's funny at. All is writing a man. That just seem all out of Karadzic and he. Day you get a lot of talk that must do in the UI. And is. Yeah just a lot of people to decry. And at what point did the whole black eyed children phenomenon crusher radar. Oh am. I out of urban legend and that creepy. Stuff constantly listening. And that is if you're a few stories about. Pretty under I could. On ideas not and doctor. If you want to get eighty to have a crack. And the result. Well and in in your research of the black children I'm sure you've eaten document and a lot of information went through a lot of information. How far back were you able to actually Trace. Some of these reports of people dealing a black children design now. There's reports on line since like 1996 and people talking mostly men. But I know there's reports that date back a lot longer than that as well. What the oldest on her legs and nineteen. To claim they had to actually. In nineteen that they acted quite like shall. And they static. Basically. They hand it kind of a I adults like. And I. Think you are. I church Al Billy and I get hundreds but they agreed in outer. I don't LE two alien. Parent don't do that. Did you see green skin. Yes screeched gang green is not in black died. According to. It's a lot of people met website I mean that in addition Aaron could use. Georgia in a village and want it given proper diet everything. And tank column to a and yet the only story I blind. If there's can change back to their eyes still remain blacked. And saying. How. Seventeen I she. Has a lot of it I'm document. Some stories on line. I had to count and then. It. Does very rarely. Does cyclical at all let. Me my. Error I. Documentation on the and seemed to. Get blurred with other paranormal cases throughout history as well because a lot of cases of the so called possession. The individuals who were possessed tend to terrorize a lot of time to become black as well. And so some people have talked about seeing people walking around with black eyes and just and they refer to them instantly as just being possessed individuals instead of being. A black Guidant parent child or black head at all. And did I am. Like ancient Irish kind of didn't carry it. And they this year. You do not want to counter. And said LA times story. And being changed. At. Eerie day that human anyway. Change. Yet but got possession and I lean on. Sarah as you were armed and doing your in researching and developing story around the myths did you get an opportunity to talk about to any any witnesses of this phenomenon or swisher research. And done more through reading their accounts. I was ultra raiding their outside. Outlets and able to track anyone doubt. An account dramatized story. Yes as sure as you're reading me the accounts were you developing any opinions of your own you said that you know some of these stories of then. Classified as may be alien in nature and some as possession in nature. Did you come to any determination on me on your own. Volition as to what you thought they were. Really and I and he irons are here and are. Read about is that is sir. She. Understand it and content. I've got to us and that's why I'm tied to it or 10. O'clock. Well it's tough these days anyways because you can now go out and buy these black contact no one's instead Russell Erika black consequences. So there have been actual cases of people wearing these in trying to get off the impression that they are black united. An individual and oh yeah you gotta always look out of that stuff as well. Take it in the ice and the. There's a summits are soaring and add to any show what. So you're you're you're reading the stories you're you're reading accounts as your preparing to write a book about. This and did you oh for so let's back up what are the characteristics. That you'd say are common. In these children as the as the reports indicate they were there recited what types of things was caught were common problem stories. I latched onto my. My name of YE a speech it is. Not really a trick they are right. Are two very conversational. Spam on the same thing. Again. Oh in the coming side I need. Add the other one is that you seem to have social skills down. To that point oh. Dress. It. Accounts will be there or does it and I'll be out there tank. And he's just. Misunderstanding. Of social interaction. Really got. Did you find any geographic. Pattern to any of the sightings. IPad or. And here. I it. And it speaks our. And gone back and had a aren't out is ready now. Areas well. I. Exactly you know me so AJ treat. Gated communities. In. All areas people. Brown. People lady. Yeah areas that people tend to feel safer. Yeah and they find themselves more vulnerable and a lot of those times and that's necessary to communities think you're safe and an area but and signed on your mobile more formal vulnerable to something of this nature. Yeah and it did not say kind of make it seem like jacks. We can do is really. Denied it does say. Do any of these stories. Conclude with the person who was being visited by the black eyed individual being injured or somehow harmed whether it's emotionally. Intellectually or physically. Want Allen led people reject. And they don't LA eventually. Check out scary tactic she's been number actually. I see Anderson you and I got hot a cure all let me and how it ought to cancel region. Generally light too high level radiation. And it up and said that they lack now. Rejecting and let Alan I don't know what he was going on during the. Did you develop an opinion either way as you were reading these accounts and doing your research that these. Does stations were evil and some nature. Ol and in India malice online is a year that maintain their at edited out. I want to extranet had done it actually friendly and just didn't understand. And they let lately you I. And I would try to communicate and just an idea how easy. Yeah old stories and to have a very stroke and. Well and today. And in these in all and you're investigation or research. These things asking to be let in or for somebody left them into their home let them into their vehicle. It sort of gives a whole impression if you if you really look back about the whole vampire aspect for you had to inflate them into your house should do fight them in each year. In your area for them to still have any of their abilities. And so it almost seems as if these things are asking permission to answer so Walt. In other words because they cancer center on their own wit without that permission. And that we when they come and they they still have whatever abilities they hadn't before you allow them. Yes yes and I cut. Out. Eerie. Sort of had I not really don't want to I don't outline item. Is that it. Hi what do they all I alien scary vampire. Danced and all but is she consent to being about being sent to. Let them sort of cultural why they stand. It. When it comes to eighty. Yikes I were talking with the Sara Clancy she's an author of a series of books based on the black eyed children phenomenon but the books there's three in the series black eyed children as the first of the three doubles rises the second.

On the when he started to read a book about it give us an idea of the direction he wanted to take these black eyed children in your stories. Jason mistreated. I did I get deleted 100 and to our ideas that I'm in that direction not gonna stills and straight starts. News series so you maintain the mystery throughout the stories. Are these black eyed children the central characters in the books or are they gave the central antagonist in the book revolts. The central antagonists. A central character to go and I. And he encountered. Rape my children and I. And what you realize this county is. Room and looks worried that they abide by.

It's Wednesday unless there's. These many years but somewhere between welcoming the honor I'd agree with me Jason Hawes meal is awesome GG Johnson. Are am and need your help here a little bit because I don't remember specifically what our guest. Jim Barfield had said about this particular topic. When we were talking with him about the copper scroll. Yes and we're talking about the end of days as outlined in the Bible and other religious documentation. One of the things he mentioned was the birth of a full read. Calf yet he had brought up that it just tapped it just happened yes and I'm reading a report right now about that. They're saying that their that this. Has come true after. The first red calf was born in Israel 2000. Years ago. And they used the temple institute in Israel announced that this particular births happened they did it on their YouTube channel and that they would be. Looking at the mother and the cast and determined. Through an extensive examination if this cast is blemish free. Blemish free. Is the description that the Bible gives for the birth of the red caps and it says to bring the promise of reinstating biblical purity to the world. If they call it calling it what the apocalypse towel it's and they they actually is so violent they refer to it is the red pepper. Then. Yeah it bring you brought up that they've done these tasks and that it was sheer sure that this was. This was the prophecy. Well if that's true we've just had the birth of this particular animals were just we need to start paying them more attention to what happens afterward and I don't know other prophecies well enough to know what the next kindness but I really don't either slow and it renewed agreement and I I guess the minute the seat turns. Read our motto here at a I don't I don't know we're gonna go who you gonna go and Carla more inland and I think itself it does leave right away Fran I live in Rhode Island and just keep running and it's a little water there isn't a thing that's kind of interesting I wanted to bring up before we bring our guest back in. They've discovering new species of fish. Now what they're learning as as they have Maury capability to get to the bottom of very very deep parts of the ocean defining species that in places they didn't think life could survive and its tree easy some of these settle on the here minding your volcano volcano under underwater volcano still they are the creek talk about creepy to have nightmares some of these things are just bizarre looking but since that one that's got the weird little things like that comes off its head and any -- whales off that I on the Finding Nemo yet it is just this weird little light angles and if it's treacherous and why would anything need that that's just not right. Well the one a species he just uncovered. Actually what they brought it to the surface and as they bring these things to the surface the fish. Melts. Met it melts like space and it just basically dissolves. It's it's a fish. And in its depth is lives perfectly fine. But when it comes up to the surface it just dissolves and also which is weird because it's under all that pressure. Being that deep but when it comes up it's not under that pressure you think it would light. Just expect him to celebrate great they caught these things on it and a camera about 26000. Feet down. It's called the snell fish. And it looks like ten like Ted polls there but they're very wider as the most of those creatures at that debt have no caller there does very well. And just to explain told listeners out there 26000. Feet down. Think by now airplanes fly at when he took the 35000. Feet up sit in the mass so when you see an airplane way up in the sky and you can barely barely see it. It usually Italy 3035000. Feet. This 24000 feet that is deep packet. So I think it's about five miles is that an eye on each files or 5200 feet and it's carrier on the up. The DC user are made of a gooey substance and relies on the pressure of the deep potion to keep it altogether so when it comes up. It just falls apart. Purdue is just and there are some. I watched video not too long ago and Discovery Channel. These weird squid type creatures that she can actually turn themselves insight now that's how they're able to to survive. Down there. I noted it's a it's it's it's pretty amazing what they're discovering at the depths of the ocean in places that you needed an also a kind of makes you wonder you know when you talk of a place like Morrison in places that we think are in uninhabitable. Like we thought the deepest of the ocean was going to be uninhabitable but it turns out it's not so and on life finds a way to thrive well this is true and our guests Sara Clancy. Our officer award or target or about black children she lives in Australia which is a place were pretty much everything in the ocean will kill you. And on land yet de LA anyway but it's kind of scary. I guess a deadly snakes you get I mean you you've got ants over an ordinary the ones that make your adrenaline go through the roof and you guys can keep him please but. He gives us a much over that that will case for such a beautiful place it's terrifying to know that. Just walking out your house could be a death sentence. And a outlet that did us. The only and I know you know that's right the royals are etc. that you have like some of those most nasty spiders too I mean we've. Yeah. And are you kind of let me. And instead it is at a. While we know you've had no write these stories immediate you live amongst terror. Now. Yeah well I'm sure when you're used to you know to look out for you know to watch out for it let's go to our phone lines we've got Cody. Calling any wants to comment on. Over document you were the black eyed children Cody welcome to the program. They gave me agers and they are. Nico you. For everybody out there Cody is a part of taps its he's very good friend of mine actually was on vesey anyone in my daughter's today so welcomed the show Cody. Thanks Jason I just wanted to call and we actually have a strange case happened. In 2016. A tap case involving a black eyed children. Two black eyed child Wednesday. It would it would have really complex case of course it had been the usual paranormal claims in the home. And you know the woman it was mother father which eight children that lived in May brownstone in Massachusetts. And the mother started seeing a black are childhood when ever she would go to to the grocery store. Didn't happen all the time but maybe once every couple weeks. But it was like chain of events that kind of started. And one being when they first moved into the house. The husband found a loose brick in the wall so we pulled up the brick by bundled newspapers. And a handkerchief covered in blood. Ever since he signs. This stuff from the wall. All paranormal claims start happening in the house knocks bangs voices. Quote. Don't you let me let me ask you this. When she would leave the house and she would see this black eyed child every so often. Was it that the black eyed child was purposely putting themselves in an area for her to notice them. Exactly. With staring directly at her. The other strange things but which. If there aren't any you know comment on that haven't had any connection. She found out that her sister that it was from Louisiana they didn't have a good relationship. But her family. Had a good relationship with that lived down cells which are. That. They weren't too close. But one day the sister showed up on doorstep. Sister and involved. In black magic in the cult. She showed up the day after the content pulled out that we're and then. After all these events are happening in the home after that show that she starts seeing the black eyed child. Wherever she goes so it all up like a chain of events that led up to seeing that. So that was some sort of connection with the call that the sister would involve them. Or the activity what house. Or that was just a coincidence that you start seeing that. We just a really strange and complex case that a very hard to put together. And almost seems like everything all everything stemming from wanted to know what was the error. Possibly also could have been drawing these things in as like a central point. Exactly exactly restrained to that it was hard to figure out what the central point was. Because everything just started happening I want. So that you would really really sure engine and we were having art art art art connection. Between everything. I'd like why it was a black eyed child involved whiff. But opting of this Blackstone. What to a stranger we definitely documented. You know. What they were experiencing in their home you know debt definite temperature changes to voices. Coming out of nowhere of course that the blacks on everything connected together so at first we thought that the neighbors. You know that were bleeding through the wall but we definitely had some strange stuff. Interest. Absolutely yes Ceradyne that does anything like if any of the research you did. Any of the stories that you read have any similarities to the story the Cody just told us. They yell. Excited dabbling in the eight does ours I read that letter to call. I did you have. They seem to peaks and it really random. There at. Don't like seeing a bit odd TK. I knew I. They get the idea. Written 88. Can. So almost as if they're looking for or what the weak link in the chain. And I think we'll community yet that sooner or earlier thanks for calling in men and yet we appreciate the phone call this is Sarah the this free book she said the first book. The children are trying to get to the heroin and if you will in her cabin she's in the woods they're trying to get in. On. Are they did do you portrayed these children as mild mannered as sweet. As. Violent. How do you. Affect them trying to get into that Kevin. They I'm actually all out slowed down apparently stretch she actually has condition that she can't. I shall. To have ever always a little bit OK she did she doesn't know it is judgment why should keep on. We. And I say it's. Coming across Hartley and they know exactly how as each weighs in on our Ol and I very much trouble. And quit immediately just to repeat like that. Ray and ruby is the name of the central character are to take a break we're still talking with Sara Clancy about her books it's a three series book series about the black eyed children. Called black eyed children in the second book is doubles rise to the third book is the third knocked don't forget. Later in the program and our last segment we will be drawing a playing card and we will revisit our psychic remote viewing experiment. And if you ever fought. On what the black eyed children are. Or you've had an experience with the black eyed children. Our black Qaeda adults gives equality for 46877669. Until freed 844. 6877669. Elicited Jason. Javy Dioner okay. JJ Peter guest tonight Sarah her answer talk. Her book series focused on the black eyed children phenomenon. And there we're gonna continue taking some listener calls here try to fit it's fit a few more in this is still open North Carolina he Philip will be staying clear of the impending weather. Our our our our list of the Sacramento probably know you know after ago yeah I probably shouldn't go all right Pete and it's gonna bend down. Europe and that's about struggle all right so you're on with Sarah and Jason and G tournament. Well I'm curious about service inspiration. On and treat our remember the program we haven't got out and Ed recourse. Yes. And our own. You know it's this like a matter of the dust most liquidity. Late in the big. Post bald demon thing yet and instead you still can't imagine that it. The state puff marshmallow man yet to enact or its characters said you can visited in his head many appeared yeah. And like I remember. There's two little girls. Murdered somebody and they were inspired by the ten. And this undermanned now you have pulled my Toledo and the girls and my own actions are excellent original it would stretch. That's correct it and originate in his cult creepy Kostis said. So it makes me wonder about the importance of the black eyed children. That is up I had I had a very vivid dream. How would sit in my car and look up my car window and here's this young little girl stare anatomy and she's got but it's. Upload in reverse and it gets sort of occasion. And that's when a local. Glad a local. Do you have any particular understanding as to why you may have had that dream. No because it's hit our heads saints up on YouTube about the but that's children but it'd been like two years before I had a dream. It was not been reached or that his. Bart you know wasn't on contemporary and let's let's consider is opinion Sarah. You know what what do you think about the whole. You know but I guess the anger course concept or the idea that you know. Mass hysteria or mass think and produce something like this. I'll tell. But I like that it's very and why a black eyed children legends that I managed. That. He visited by the actually. Only psychics and out of some people said. That they know you're aware and. Right. I don't insult thank you so much traditional bottle. Our it though wolf and the phone numbers 8446877669. Until freed 8446877669. And give us a call if if you have your own theory on what the black eyed children black and adults are. Or if you actually had your own experience with them. At some point. I would love to hear from me I know there's still some people on old we will get your calls when we get one we get back from break. But and we are talking with Sara Clancy mentioned author and talking about the black eyed children so elicited Jason je Giambi. I'm really radio will be back after this. Segment we'll be taking your phone calls for a site to promote. Experiment will be drawing a playing card from our regular 52 card playing deck and we'll give you an opportunity to see if you tap into our minds. Figure out what that playing card is if you come up with a rate card because you've been able to read our consciousness. Most of the huge shots at Jimmy now that's not to that's that's next week this week it's just a teacher's human testing them configured as a parent. Anyway welcome to press. Cemetery on Real Madrid still like to throw your curve today need you. Don't forget tomorrow and we got a best of in front and it we've got a best stuff tonight we're talking with Sara Clancy she's an author and her books. Many books are credited in fact we're talking about a series of books based on the black eyed children phenomenon. That's the first of those three is called black eyed children which makes a lot of sense. A Serra let's go back to the phone lines quickly here because we've had some people waiting on hold and this is a Fausto calling from somewhere in Canada they found so welcome to the program. And I. Here is change and hearsay he says and she that is sort of I don't inadmissible in the quarter. Who locks. The court of my partner my opinion in my mind is to be critical about that not to just balcony of the operative question. Credibility question. Loaded question. The question things acknowledges that anything and that that will stand drank. Bad a year. Yeah no I'm just Ternium trying to digest what you're saying here is so what you're saying to us. Kramer. Moving forward now panic in my disclaimer a lot of your yes. Favorites this night. Aren't on the East Coast last night. Added he would stories. A lot of people rival strategy game and so a lot of story that I forgot to put gain attention by any means including. I'm exaggerating a lie. He gained popularity here they have. Schoolyard mentality you know it factory of anything that girl in the queen to get their children about Michael Jackson are Justin Bieber. Because they want to get attention wanna be popular. How do we mean you'll really know these stories. To be true in. And I am. A weather back to the previous that pat take costs. He passed down on the boat I can't Keck I wanna reader can be Keller caught in the book sometimes. My age imaging. Our other times are expecting I think is ultimately imitate life. And whenever life imitate art Cutler typical creative catalyst. We made in the cold and you wanna be like pepper and that's what they're cool people involved either Wear cool coal. So when she probably are aliens but you're there I've been great cartoons or whatever they had big black eyes and a big day ahead. That this was black children and no doubt partly derived from some alien that we grew up hearing or reading about me eighties and the nineties. And problems. I guess so she can answer that realizing that not gaining credibility. Yes Firestone I think I think you're here your you know your line of logic here makes a lot of sense and it's certainly one plausible. Explanation for why some people have be suddenly be clear about Sarah Sarah's written a series of and novels these are fictional works based on other people's reports of seeing. Black eyed children I don't think necessary you haven't seen any black you don't claim to have seen any of these black eyed children you don't claimed it had any of these experiences yourself. You just read other people's accounts and use them as a foundation to write some stories these are novels these are fictional works. I. So I hope that I hope that helps third up four if a story I appreciate the point it's very well taken. Om we can be influenced. By a many many different things and I think Jason will be the first to rude to agree. When. Off then you wanna know what has been influencing the person who's making those claims have the you know edited dissidents seeing something that on television may influence what they were what they're claiming to have seen its common. Exactly. Even only the evil we did the show go Summers before the show go Sanders and after the show goes on his legal on the somebody's home. You're calling ascend to try to figure out what's truly happening whether it's paranormal are now so we go and we go through your movie collection we go through your book collection. We rule all try to look at it the medications you're taking in all these factors come into play and and because we wanna get inside that person's head and truly understand what's really causing.

We know on this program we're hearing more about it and it seems to be have to have its own little pop culture bubble if you will.

Once again, "Supernatural" is all about family in the upcoming episode, "As Time Goes By." Some demonic problems and a little time travel mean Sam and Dean will meet yet another grandfather — Henry Winchester. What secrets are hidden on the paternal side of the family? Here are five spoilers to know about the episode.
1. The episode begins, amusingly, in a town called Normal, Illinois. It turns out that John Winchester (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) lived there as a boy in the 1950s.
2. The Hunters are not the only ones who know about the demons and monsters that roam the world. There is another group as well. While saying much about this group would be spoiling far too much, let's just say that these men are better-suited to Sam's (Jared Padalecki) interests than to Dean's (Jensen Ackles).
3. We're going to meet a new kind of demon in "As Time Goes By." This demon, named Abadon (either coincidentally or not, this is the Arabic word for "Never"), is meaner and harder to kill than others. Also, this particular demon has a fondness for novelty t-shirts.
4. Henry Winchester (guest star Gil McKinney) knows about the bad stuff, but he is a lot more suave and sophisticated than his grandsons. However, this does not help Henry from being somewhat awkward upon meeting the Winchester boys. That's what happens when you have just fallen out of a closet.
5. At one point in the episode, Sam and Dean are overpowered. They end up handcuffed together in a hotel room.
"As Time Goes By" airs on Wednesday, Jan. 30 at 9pm on The CW.

Managing Big Data: Audience Measurement and Ad Targeting
Feb 3, 2014 5:00 AM PT
The interaction of connected consumer electronics and digital media is creating vast and limitless amounts of user data, now commonly coined "Big Data." Many new business models are forming around these data, but for advertising, data have always been at the core of its business. Data of all varieties and volumes enable stakeholders to invest proportionally to the value of their media assets -- whether TV commercials, video programs, gaming apps, online publications or advertising messages.
Big Data create new ways that stakeholders can measure the audience. Traditional targeting has long been audience-based using demographic, geographic and time-based information. However, user data originating from content consumed on an Internet-enabled device is much more granular in nature -- more data points are collected, supporting highly refined audience-targeting methods, including both audience-based and interest-based methods.
Audience-based data and targeting practices segment consumers based on who they are, the devices they use, and the media content they consume. Interest-based measures support techniques that pinpoint and engage consumers based on their interests and preference.
Audience-Based Measurement and Crossing Platforms
Parks Associates research for years has tracked the transition of media consumption to multiple new platforms. Media consumers are not glued to one device, so an immediate concern is one of audience duplication -- spending the time and money only to target the same user multiple times.
Despite industry demand, there has been difficulty developing a standard that accounts for the overlap of traditional media and new media. A true cross-platform measurement approach quantifies unduplicated reach across broadcast and cable TV, the Internet, and mobile apps and Web properties. However, perpetual device fragmentation, differing data collection methods and reporting metrics, and the lack of an industry-backed system to standardize the process stifle industry efforts.
Video Metrics
Since 2006 when ABC released its TV programs online, TV networks and advertisers have been calling for a single-source video metric to evaluate the impact of video content as it is consumed individually and across multiple screens. A single-source video metric is necessary to understand total viewing levels that in turn determine program value and advertising effectiveness.
Content owners are highly dependent on the stability and growth of the new media ad market because it is important to receive credit for combined and unduplicated viewership regardless of the device on which the consumer views the program.
Demand for a single-source video measurement standard will grow even stronger as more consumers access video programs outside of traditional channels. Consumers increasingly are using computers, smartphones and tablets as platforms for video. The percentage of broadband households watching any kind of video on these platforms continues to rise.
For instance, traditional TV viewing remains steady at 83 percent of consumers in U.S. broadband households, but at the same time, viewers are more frequently watching their favorite video programs on mobile phones. Presently, media owners and brands are forced to cobble together disparate metrics to quantify the relative impact of alternative video viewing on traditional TV.
The merger of Nielsen and Arbitron may accelerate the development of a viable single-source video solution. In early 2013, Nielsen announced plans to acquire Arbitron for US$1.26 billion. Following months of regulatory review, the Federal Trade Communication approved the merger in late September. The consolidated firm will be the sole supplier of advertising currency for the major ad mediums -- TV, online and radio. Arbitron's technology likely will supplement Nielsen's existing TV measurement methods to capture multiplatform exposure, including video views.
Audience Segmentation Profiling
Commonly referred to as "look-a-Likes" or "personas," audience segmentation models formulate large audience descriptions based on the characteristics of smaller subsets. This targeting technique drives greater user reach for digital media campaigns and is at the core of real-time bidding ad exchanges.
Ad agencies and their brand clients have been experimenting with and successfully using audience segmentation for some time. This targeting technique allows advertisers to infer consumer behaviors based on first-party data, such as information people provide via websites and social channels. The data then can be combined with purchase data (i.e., shopping behaviors) and other general‐interest interactions to further refine the audience segmentation schemes.
|Advantages of Audience Segmentation by Industry Type

Interest-Based Measurement
Social networks produce massive amounts of interest-based data points, and they can be used to understand the effects of social interactions on cross-platform media use, brand perception, and product and service adoption. Advertisers obtain a new layer of brand insights from social media and can leverage this insight to deliver more personalized ad messages based on inference of preference. A few strategic collaborations announced in 2013 highlight trends in social media analysis:
- Leading ad agency holding company WPP and Twitter announced a strategic partnership that integrates Twitter data to enhance WPP's ad management platforms. As part of the deal, WPP agencies use Twitter's suite of social media insights to heighten the efficiency of ad campaigns, enhance audience targeting, and expand real-time analytics for brand clients.
- Media agency Starcom MediaVest Group plugged ShareThis' social media engagement ranking tool, the Social Quality Index, into its existing comScore Media Metrix software for media planning purposes. The SQI calculates and indexes how "social" a website's content is and benchmarks it against competing sites. This collaboration enables ad agencies to integrate social elements into media campaign strategies in order to drive higher user engagement levels.
- Brands are increasingly interested in understanding how to leverage the growing database of social and video sharing activities of Pinterest and Instagram users. With this data, publishers and advertisers can strengthen their retargeting strategies. Even though Pinterest has yet to provide a public API, third-party measurement firms still have found ways to gauge Pinterest user activities. Image-based measurement provider Curalate collects Pinterest data using a Web crawler that examines image pixels. The firm reports more than 300 clients use its services to monitor Pinterest activities.
- The most promising use of social media insights centers on improving TV network discovery and enhancing advertising. Until now, social TV measures could show the number of people who wrote about a TV show on Twitter, but they did not reveal the reach of audience that saw those tweets.
Built upon the idea that there is a causal relationship between social media engagement and live TV viewing, Nielsen and Twitter established a new metric -- the Nielsen Twitter TV Rating -- to provide industry insight on how social networks drive TV program tune-in time. Based on analyzing Twitter data, Nielsen revealed that Twitter updates cause an increase in TV viewership 29 percent of the time. This new social TV metric gives networks and advertisers who support the programs a broader picture of the reach and influence of social conversations around TV shows.
Creating Standards and Transparency
Over the next several years, new adverting strategies will proliferate on these emerging platforms, and by year-end, total digital ad impressions will exceed 17 trillion. However, there has been a slight decline in consumer comfort with personalized advertising -- that which uses a consumer's personal information to deliver relevant TV, Internet, tablet and smart TV ads. (Comfort levels among smartphone owners remain unchanged.)
Given the expansive potential in the advertising industry, stakeholders need to develop smart ways to manage the Big Data in their audience metrics. The development of a unified audience metric standard is a difficult but important goal, and stakeholders should strive to provide full transparency to users with respect to tracking data as well as opt-out mechanisms.
The industry will be unable to maintain self-regulation if consumers cannot discover or understand the privacy management tools in place, which include the Digital Advertising Alliance's AdChoices Icon and Consumer Choice Page Icon. The former identifies companies serving targeted online ads, and the latter links consumers to a Web page that discloses the ways data target them and provides an easy-to-use, opt-out system. However, there is very low awareness of these measures among U.S. broadband households, with levels that have remained low for two years.
Facebook and Twitter are ramping up their advertising efforts, so there will be more attention in the media and the various industries on the data collected and how they are used. While they refine their audience tracking techniques, content owners, publishers and advertisers also must continue to provide appropriate consumer disclosures concerning the ways data is used for online tracking and ad targeting. Doing so will help ensure continued self-regulation of an industry that is poised for tremendous growth.
