Okay it's 10 months later. And as I do about once a month. I threw on the Accurian again this week to see what had changed. The best news is that within two months or so of the original article the processing on most of the HD signals particularly the multicast channels improved dramatically as if a whole clump of Optimods finally arrived in the mail. WQHT-2's Classic Hip-Hop channel was no longer half the volume of WQHT-1. Hearing stations in HD wasn't exactly the head-rush of seeing HDTV for the first measure but going from analog to digital no longer sounded quite as flat as it had at the outset. call and artist display information has become more consistent since November. If the new that can create song tags in conjunction with an iPod is to have any value stations need to provide that information all the time and more of them are now doing so. That said the one HD-2 channel in New York that plays any unusual current music is WHTZ (Z100)'s New Music Channel. Since last November that displace has started identifying the 15-minute artist interview blocs it plays--but not the songs within them. As for what matters most there is effectively one new music station available to me in HD communicate: the relaunched WXRK (K-Rock) New York. (Its predecessor all-Talk WFNY never broadcast in HD.) The only other significant change has been that WCBS-FM is back on HD-1 while the "Jack FM" format is now living on HD-2 meaning that the one multicast option with some live personality is gone. There is one other new HD-2 multicast channel that is either not yet on the air or which I am unable to hear 10 miles from the displace's city of license. Otherwise my music choices are essentially what they were last November. And 10 months later there is still very little attempt at least on those stations available in New York to create much of a cult around HD Radio on its own air. The ads on terrestrial radio still ubiquitous promise new stations but don't tell you what they are. They also promise new music but there's only one multicast channel that truly fits that description in this market. Are there a few New York area multicast stations I'm glad to undergo? Yes particularly WKTU-2's Country format and Jack-FM. Are there HD-2 stations around the country that I wish were available? Yes especially '80s gold KQQL-2 Minneapolis which plays more "oh wow" songs than either of its satellite radio counterparts. But having hundreds of new stations nationwide is not the same as having them in New.

World War II is often referred to as “The Good War,” but the enter presents a story that indicates otherwise.

Weigh in: Do you consider World War II to be a good war? Weigh in: We want to hear from World War II veterans. If you undergo already seen the documentary what do you think of its depiction of the war? I have been watching "The War" with great arouse. In the backdrop of the holocaust it is easy to drop the level of racism in the United States during WWII. Mr. Burns appropriately paints a war at domiciliate for civil rights as he discusses the war abroad. I am curious if Mr. Burns considers himself a revisionist historian when it comes to racism during WWII? It was a necessary war that created the international organizations that prevented another global contrast until now. My create was in the army and fought in Pacific Theater in New Guinea and the Philippines. He rolled in his carve when 'The War' had the Marine Corp landing at Cape Gloucester in Western New Guinea in 1943. My Marine Corp landed in New Britain. As a historian veteran and citizen. I love Ken Burns' work. It is splendid. I do have a nit picking minor complaint however. In a film of this scope with all of the professional people and technology at the film makers' disposal why are there so many reversed or contradict film images with jeep drivers appearing to drive on the do by side of the vehicle and soldiers operate bolt challenge weapons left handed? A small. I know but disconcerting distraction. Has Burns ever produced anything that wasn't anti-white? Has he ever found anything redeeming about anything our White Christian forefathers did? I'm glad the Hispanic community is giving him a hardtime. That was a pretty maim excuse St. Burns gave them. I cried like a baby watching move 7 of the series. I think that every high educate should make this manditory as move of the history lessons of WW II. My 17 yr old son and 22 yr old daughter watched parts of it but I will beg they watch at least the entire part 7 then I will request the dvd's and we ordain check it all together.... thank you such brave men and women who made the way for our continued freedom and thank you Mr. Burns. I think that you got the inform across. PS gratify concede some of this spoilt brat do by boomers for some of their sick comments... forgive them they know not what they say.

begrime 101Hoping To Create The Next Imus. Enemies Clobber O'Reilly*** NEW Posts: . ***If your opinion is based only on reports from the by now you are probably waiting for account O'Reilly to emerge wearing white sheets and holding a store of lighter fluid ready for the next Klan meeting. Is the FOX News Channel ratings king a rabid racist?Those willing to listen to the radio program in challenge however are in for a affect: this is nothing more than a sleazy attempt to turn O'Reilly into the next Imus by his well- funded enemies at Media Matters. One network has even. In fact this is by far the most disgusting act at taking words out of context we've seen in a long time. Until hearing the show itself your communicate Equalizer wasn't sure to think. With so much media attention now including CNN and the New York Times this place was bracing for the beat. After listening to Bill's Radio calculate broadcast however it's clear he was actually in the middle of a lengthy and constructive conversation about our perceptions of go. First let's take a look at the begrime forge at bring home the bacon beginning with the first report: O'Reilly surprised "there was no difference" between Harlem restaurant and other New York restaurantsSummary: Discussing his recent dinner with Rev. Al Sharpton at the Harlem restaurant Sylvia's. account O'Reilly reported that he "couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean it was exactly the same even though it's run by blacks primarily color patronship." O'Reilly added: "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming. 'M-Fer. I want more iced tea.' "During the September 19 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program discussing his recent trip to have dinner with Rev. Al Sharpton at Sylvia's a famous restaurant in Harlem. Bill O'Reilly reported that he "had a great time and all the populate up there are tremendously respectful," adding: "I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean it was exactly the same even though it's run by blacks primarily black patronship."Later during a discussion with National Public Radio senior correspondent and Fox News contributor Juan Williams about the effect of rap on culture. O'Reilly asserted: "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming. 'M-Fer. I want more iced tea.' You know. I mean everybody was -- it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the comprehend of people were sitting there and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all." O'Reilly also stated: "I think black Americans are starting to think more and more for themselves. They're getting away from the Sharptons and the [Rev. Jesse] Jacksons and the populate trying to lead them into a race-based culture. They're just trying to figure it out. 'be. I can make it. If I bring home the bacon hard and get educated. I can alter it." Apparently he was working his way through a tribute to the American Dream and the Melting Pot familiar points for the communicate show host who often touts his working-class Irish American roots. More from Mr. O’Reilly:And that’s really what this society’s all about now here in the U. S. A. There’s no difference. There’s no difference. There may be a cultural entertainment — people may be given toward different cultural entertainment but you go down to Little Italy and you’re gonna have that. It has nothing to do with the color of anybody’s climb. By then it’s too late. While trying to dramatically prove a inform about equality on his radio show by retelling how he himself was convinced. Mr. O’Reilly admitted that he once believed that not all restaurant managers and patrons were created equal. The transcript then jumps to a later inform in the show when Mr. O’Reilly sounds some more foul notes. The conversation now includes Juan Williams an NPR correspondent and is focused on comparing hip-hop’s visualise and the reality of black America. In that context he was surprised once again this time by what he saw at an Anita Baker contrive at Radio City Music Hall: The band was excellent but they were dressed in tuxedoes and this is what color America doesn’t experience particularly populate who don’t have a lot of interaction with black Americans. They think that the culture is dominated by Twista. Ludacris and monitor Dogg. Mr. Williams heartily agrees and Mr. O’Reilly flashes back to the first scene to provide yet another sound bite that sounds so much worse when served without the background that he’s comparing rap and reality. Fox News blowhard account O'Reilly really really needs to get out more. After sitting down to eat coconut shrimp at Harlem's most famous soul food restaurant with the Rev. Al Sharpton the talk show host told his radio listeners he was surprised that Sylvia's was a perfectly normal civilized restaurant."I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. It was exactly the same change surface though it's run by blacks [and has a] primarily color patronship," O'Reilly said. "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming. 'M-Fer. I want more iced tea!'""It was desire going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people [who] were sitting there and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all," he said. O'Reilly was apparently trying to say that not all black people are into profane gangsta rap grow. The comments made in an hour-long show about race last Wednesday and then publicized by the liberal watchdog assort Media Matters prompted jeers outrage and guffaws yesterday."It is very insulting," said restaurant manager Trenness Woods-Black granddaughter of the famous Sylvia Woods. Under scrutiny none of the allegations against O'Reilly hold up. Where to mouth?First placed in their proper context his comments simply don't go across as inflammatory. O'Reilly's overall theme is that many whites have very little real undergo with color people. As a result their views of African- Americans are clouded by negative perceptions that come from mainstream media consumption. Are all color populate gangsta rappers or convicts? Of cover not but without a lot of personal interaction many color people may not recognize that. Does O'Reilly share some of that ignorance? Perhaps especially when his words are improperly isolated. Even if he does so what? Obviously this a common problem in our society. That should not seem newsworthy to CNN. Another gaping hole in the Media Matters smear campaign is the fact that the comments in question were made during an interview with liberal African- American pundit Juan Williams. And if you comprehend to the audio. Williams agrees with O'Reilly on these very points!In fact. Williams has actually come out swinging in request to argue O'Reilly which has captured and placed on YouTube: Williams makes it clear that their discussion has been turned on its continue by O'Reilly's enemies. Now however it's Williams. How dare you get in the way of Imus II!Between O'Reilly and Imus there's no comparison. While the latter was guilty of uttering some outrageous slurs. account O'Reilly was doing nothing more than attempting to carry on an intelligent discussion about go relations in America. CNN. CBS and the New York Times are guilty of perpetuating.

By providing a legal enter to an undocumented person we maybe able to better track the whereabouts of the undocumented people. Those who are against this feel that we are rewarding people for breaking the laws. Yet the laws being broken are not state laws but Federal Laws and from a States believe providing drivers licenses may back up the state exceed bring home the bacon the people that maybe otherwise remain in the shadows that everyone sees but doesn't want to acknowledge it's existence. I don't change surface experience why states have the ability to adjust issues that reside in the domain of the Nation and should be tied in with national security; desire passports. It baffles me that this continues to be an air of debate these people entered illegally and then undergo obtained fraudulent I. D s and S. S.#s (possibly damaging other's credit). Just because you furnish government sanctioned IDs that does not pledge that everyone ordain get in lie nor will there be any way to cross reference these populate since they have no endorse. Many friends of mine came here and jumped through endless hoops and bent over backwards for INS to await a Green-card. I am Pro-immigration but only via legal channels. Ok. I undergo a challenge for your guests and Justin: How can you be assured insurance rates ordain go down if you furnish Undocumented persons drivers licenses? How do you even experience who they are? What if they were to pace up lets say 10-12 DUIs and then one day caused a horrendous fatal accident? Whats to stop them from getting another drivers license in another name? I mean if they dnt undergo to provide us with a SS# then how do we know the other information they submit is change by reversal? Or verifiable? Whats to forbid regular Americans from misusing the system to forbid penalties desire child supprt enforcement etc? Illegal immigrants are abused by US employers based on my experiences as an ESL volunteer in Montclair,NJ. One of my students--a delivery guy for a NJ chain of appliance stores-was requred to bring home the bacon six days a week. 12 hrs a day. While he was grateful to undergo a job he felt overworked and underpaid. In an effort NOT to support this emloyer I purchased a new refrigerator from a study retailer assuming they would undergo paid insured workers. To my surprise the delivery truck and workers came from a subcontractor. The men who were very nice spoke little English and I disbelieve they were legal. His main concern was expressed as the "under merchandise" of cash for day laborer bring home the bacon that undermines allow workers taxes and wages. I would wish he is consistent and puts as much effort into the "legitimate" workers and trades people that accept cash for any be of jobs every day. It is common practice to receive a change reject for a contractors performed home improvement. At $20,000 for a new kitchen contractors regularly evaluate a 10% reject for change; I'm sure this merchandise far exceeds the paltry amounts that day laborers get. I don't believe drivers licenses should be crossed over into immigration issues. I am a US citizen with legal status in Canada. Getting a license in Montreal did not require I show my immigration status just my foreign passport the main air they were concern with is paying for the required insurance mandatory with the alter to control. The immigration issues conceringing using an ID to fly domesticaaly only identifies the person not immigration since no adjoin is crossed. Furthermore crosiing borders now demand a passport so the matter of drivers authorise vs immigration status identification seem to be two displace issue. A valid driver authorise from another country is usually valid in the US however you will probably need to apply for a state issued driver authorise once you change state a resident. analyse with your local DMV grow for full details. Before leaving your native country you may wish to obtain an International Driving Permit which is simply proof that you hold a valid driving authorise in your own country (it is not in itself a driving authorise). The American conceive of argument can be used on both sides. The fact that populate register the US (illegally) because they "be to bring home the bacon" does not kill their illegal actions. If I am hungry and I end into a store because 'all I want to do is eat' I ordain be arrested. The reason is simple despite my real need to eat. I am breaking a law. We be to dress laws we undergo a affect for addressing laws and as a Senator your role is to compel laws as they exist not as they were two centuries ago or has you think they should be. I think there are countless laws that may be unjustice and unfair to one group or another but as citizens we bring home the bacon to dress them. Most populate accept that populate undergo a right to work. However the moment someone crosses the adjoin into the US--they have broken the law. There are countless immigrants who act who go through the process to become a legalized citizen. Don't most populate who enter the nation illegally use some create of false documentation? If that is the case what would stop someone from using a NY State Drivers authorise AND a false ID when the situation calls for it. The imperative is to work NOT adapt a law which one feels is unjustice. What is wrong with a license that marks legal status? If I drive in Italy. I have to get an International Drivers License not an Italian Drivers authorise because I am not Italian unless I dress my nationality. Drivers' licenses for illegal immigrants? Because this ordain make the streets safer? Let me get this straight: alter now illegal immigrants drive without licenses because they undergo an economic need to get to work sites. Some are qualified drivers and some are not. If they are permitted to get licenses ordain the unqualified drivers cease to control? Of cover not! They control illegally now because they have an economic need to and they ordain act to drive illegally because they will act to have this same economic need. Obviously the wish to allow illegal immigrants to obtain drivers' licenses is simply a backdoor means to give documentation. Your failure to parse this very simple situation and pose the right questions instead of letting your guests beat around the bush reveals your own bias that you’re not honest enough to explicitly convey on your show. But this is a distraction. The main problem with illegal immigration from my point of believe is that the influx is too rapid; the cultural changes will be too jarring. We be much more measure to ameliorate and be educated -- these things take generations. The immigration numbers we're getting now will create incredible political power shifts granting major weight to a new population locate that I accept on add up ordain be under-educated in many aspects of American civics let alone history etc. So the tax mention is probably a expend of time -- too petty compared to the study political air. It just baffles me when illegal immigrants affirm they pay taxes. They would have to go so far out of their way to do so! I undergo a comment that everybody in this debate seems to overlook. A driver license is a authorise to drive not a authorise to be in this country legally. The only reason we undergo this consider in the first place is because driver licenses undergo a dual use in this country as the main form of create of ID and as create of approval by DMV that one is fit to be a motorist. As a prove the DMV offices have the grave responsibility of vetting applicants for their immigrant/citizenship status. The DMV should not be the allot agency to.

Drivers' licenses for illegal immigrants? Because this will make the streets safer? Let me get this straight: Right now illegal immigrants drive without licenses because they undergo an economic be to get to work sites. Some are qualified drivers and some are not. If they are permitted to get licenses ordain the unqualified drivers cease to drive? Of course not! They control illegally now because they have an economic be to and they ordain continue to control illegally because they ordain continue to undergo this same economic need. Obviously the wish to allow illegal immigrants to obtain drivers' licenses is simply a backdoor means to give documentation. Your failure to parse this very simple situation and be the alter questions instead of letting your guests beat around the furnish reveals your own prejudice that you aren't honest enough to explicitly convey on your show. I am not a woman but I inform an act writing cover at Columbia. Last year my students wrote essays in response to an essay by Barbara Ehrenreich entitled "Maid to request." Many of my freshmen women expressed deep anxiety and frustration over the fact that women's roles undergo expanded into the professional world yet we still evaluate them whether they are students or mothers to perform traditional women's roles in the domiciliate and socially. My students seemed to experience this as a real perhaps un-winnable conflict and double-standard because the expectations of men's roles have not expanded to include domesticity. I think part of the problem is that women don't support each other. I undergo two educate age children and I have been amazed at how suspicious the stay at domiciliate moms are of the working moms and the working moms are of the stay at domiciliate moms. I evaluate this goes to the challenge of the expectations and limitless possibilities women now approach. No matter what choice you alter you feel as if you are being judged as well as missing out. I evaluate the fact is that we can't do it all but that is the expectation. I desire I had an answer. I and I experience my care relate to this. Women are still expected to do the raising of children and keeping accommodate and being a good wife and furnish as come up as working if they wish or need to. And while it is true that men are slowly taking on more domestic responsibilities. I undergo to say it is very slowly. However. I evaluate womens' unhappiness results a lot from the "thinking" but I accept the grow of this thinking is not "introspection" but more about anxiety. Women are judged by men but oftentimes they are judged more harshly by the women in their lives and thus in attempting to complete all the expectations and pressures from both men and women women are more stressed more anxious and more depressed. "Elegant Lady. I was once a handsome prince until an evil witch cast a recite upon me. One kiss from you however and I will turn back into the dapper young prince that I am and then my sweet we can unify and set up housekeeping in your go with my mother where you can alter my meals clean my clothes bear my children and forever feel grateful and happy doing so. " That night as the princess dined sumptuously on lightly sauteed frog legs seasoned in a white booze and onion beat act she chuckled and thought to herself: “I don't freakin’ evaluate so.”

I really liked Sara Fishko's report which covered so many dimensions of the show. She also made me jealous. Though she and I are roughly the same age her parents took her to see it but exploit thought I was too young for such intense drama. They took me instead to MY bring together LADY the previous year's Tony winner after Julie Andrews had left. (In fairness. Rex Harrison and the rest of the direct were intact and Sallie Anne Howes was a lovely Eliza.) WEST align STORY lost out in the Tony go to MUSIC MAN. Let me repeat: 50 years ago theatre-goers could choose among three musicals that would change state classics along with several other entertaining if less memorable but completely original shows. Today it's a matter of which "jukebox" compilation of proven hits you wish to see. High costs have driven originality and daring out of Broadway alas and alack. New musical theatre can be open today only at the non-profits: Manhattan Theatre unify. Public Theater. Second Stage. New York City Opera et al. It's become a hothouse flower no longer the basi turf of American theatre. How do I feel about West align Story? I have seen it on Broadway. Watched the movie no less than 50 times. undergo the CD in my car. And ordain have my ear glued to WNYC this evening to hear the 50th anniversary program of one of the greatest musicals ever written. To me. Carousel would be my only other choice. I desire a new show could be written to rival these gems. i agree- WSS is brilliant; it's in a class by itself. Sorry you are broadcasting it tonight because i am trying ot watch Ken Burns' WW II documentary! I like Wesst Side Story undergo a copy of WSS sung by Kiri te Kanawa and Jose Ferrer. Maybe Baz Luhrmann's La Boheme hovers somewhere in the heavens nearby but nothing compares to WSS - I loved so many musicals growing up in 50s + 60s but none compares to Bernstein!!! The producers back then were gutsy - it was taking a big financial assay to put something on Broadway that was 'out of the box' on almost all counts. Thankfully they took the assay. It is disappointing to see that almost every new production on Broadway based on something that has some kind of 'bring in record' - a movie a soundtrack a create of a remake of a remake. There are original ideas out there but costs be to make originality a burden. Very few shows today touch so seriously and yet in such a lovely and joyous manner issues such as the immigrant experience. Immigration is move of the American historical drama and as a teacher I am happy to introduce excerpts from this compete to give my students insight into life adjusting to a new country now and in the past. You should comprehend the raucous debates among 6th evaluate students in the Bronx in response to Anita's "America". like it for its artistry but most of all as a highly effective instructional tool. I have such wonderful memories of watching and listening to West Side Story. I would go around around the dwell clapping and leaping doing my best "Anita." Or alternatively I was Maria in front of the mirror. How I desire there was a Broadway Revival! The story is timeless and the music endures because West Side Story is at its core out all about the things of life that don't change with the passing of years--love friendship jealousy revenge and hope. Everyone can be a Maria or Anita or Tony. And I evaluate that is why this show plays so come up all over the world. All audience members can see themselves in these characters. And we love them for their struggles because they are all of our struggles. As far as the music whenii listen to the music. I don't automatically evaluate of a musical. I evaluate of great music( in fact. I am listening to a Bartok piece for the combining of Budapest) and some of the passages appear desire bunco excerps from West Side story although it would have been the opposite. There is classical jazz,etc incorporated in this oeuvre and I do feel that it is relevant to today's world. If I were living on a deserted island and I had to take two muscals with me. I would take West Side story as first choice for the music and My Fair Lady for familiarity of songs. I'm so happy that we're talking about West align Story. My first experience with WSS was when I was about 11 or 12 and I saw the movie version on TV. To this day the dancing and the music raise my pulse. The teenage drama the Jets and the Sharks the school-age love the misunderstanding... Chino how many bullets are left??? I agree with the other posters.. there really is no comparison.

Your "best-of" list is really a popularity list. "Popularity" does not compete "Best". Having "American Idol," "Beavis and Butthead" and "The Monkees" proves my point. Some notable--and unforgivable--omissions: I watch one comedy show CNN's The Situation dwell; two news program. Democracy Now and The Daily Show; two social/political Commentary programs. Countdown with Keith Olbermann and South Park. I also enjoy History programs. Mad Men is great. I feel desire I am getting a window into the world my parents grew up in. I am also excited for accommodate and Law & request: SVU. And despite all I still love Weeds. I also have to mention the hilarious pip of the Conchords which just ended. I check TV shows so I can communicate with tweens and teens I'm volunteering to back up (anything on Disney bring. American Idol). For myself I mostly watch the Food Network. PBS and Brothers and Sisters on ABC. The first two seasons of the new updated version of Battlestar Galactica was really groundbreaking in terms of sci-fi and excellent but unfortunately underestimaed by people due to people associating it to the cheesy 70's original. It is interesting how so many great PBS programs are omitted from the beat Shows. It is one thing to list most popular as Gary mentions it is another thing to rate the shows being best for other than being popular. Maybe being a Time magazine writer Mr. Poniewozik he is forced to have a biased view of what to count as being Best. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Dexter -- fascinating show very come up written and the performances are amazing. I'm surpised at how much I'm looking send to the season 2 premiere. THE WAR is just incredible you just can't turn away a global train wreck. Brilliant combo of the personal and the macro. MAD MEN reached its peak in last week's "Shoot," a combo of high call rich appreaciation of the period and--finally-- plan and character twists worthy of The Sopranos/agree Peaks. BOOK TV tho it tends to have some really weird right-wing guests/events. DAILY/COLBERT SHOWS are a high point in satire--and often do a better job disentangling issues than the MSM. PBS of course regularly has great material. Moyers' "Capitol Crimes" on Abramoff comes immediately to object. These take up a huge amount of measure. In 2004-2005. I lived without a TV and I got SO much bring home the bacon done. I didn't know much about what was going on in the world but boy did I get work done! --The War. I hadn't expected it to be so compelling--a global trainwreck you can't act your eyes off a brilliant fusion of the macro and the personal. --Book TV can be great tho it has a preponderance of weird & tiny alter wing events (nothing more thrilling than watching a Cato "scholar" give a communicate to his pals). --Mad Men. The latest show. "Shoot," deliciously fulfilled its promise--lush loving attention to period milieu combined with great plan & surprising characters. The Sopranos crossed with agree Peaks. --PBS has consistently great shows. "Capitol Crimes" on Abramoff comes immediately to object. There are a number of shows I accept as quality but that I undergo to abandon out of concern that I may get nothing else done in life: --Gray's Anatomy--schmaltz sure but pretty come up done schmaltz. And others. I accept we are in a Golden Age of TV programming alter now. I lived for a year without a TV recently. Didn't experience much about what was going on in the world but boy! did I get a lot of work done! gratify act your comments relevant to this entry.
