Original MTV V-J's Using New Technology to Extend Careers

This article is about old mtv djs getting new jobs with the new technology of satelitte radios as speakers for them enjoy.web site

If you are old enough to remember the early days of MTV, you'll no doubt be able to recite the names of the original MTV V-J's: Martha Quinn, JJ Jackson, Nina Blackwood, Adam Curry, Alan Hunter and Mark Goodman. They were the faces of a sea change in the music and television industries. For Gen-Xers they were the folks who introduced us to 80s music and covered Live Aid, one of the biggest events of our lives.

By the 90s, even though their careers kept going, most of them faded from the public eye - at least compared to the height of their MTV stints. Martha Quinn appeared in several films, co-hosted Star Search and was a regular in various commercials. JJ Jackson, a ground breaking DJ before his MTV days, also went back to continue his radio career. He passed away in 2004.

After MTV, Alan Hunter also appeared in a few films and moved back to his home state of Alabama and founded his own production company, Hunter Films. Mark Goodman, a popular DJ in Philadelphia and New York City before MTV, went back to radio. Nina Blackwood left MTV in 1986 and became the Music Reporter for Entertainment Tonight. She has also appeared in numerous music infomercials over the years and done some radio. Adam Curry, although not an original member of the first five V-J's, was an MTV mainstay from from 1987 to 1994. Now these four are taking advantage of new technologies to extend their careers.

New Technology Gives Kids New Ways To Bully

<>I thought this article was interesting with the rise of usin aol instant messenger rising all around teenage youth. web site

<>Harassment and bullying aren't just found on the playground anymore.

Greensboro, NC -- Being afraid of the playground bully is a memory that many people share.

But these days the "playground" is so big, some kids can never get away from the bully.

Even something as simple as doing homework in their own bedroom doesn't mean kids are safe from bullies.

14-year-old student Jim is an average kid. He's smart and athletic and he's been the target of bullying.

These days, he and his friends are just as vulnerable at home online as in school.

"You know you type back messages. Some people cuss at you while you're playing."

With the rise of the internet comes the rise of bullying at a distance. It's just as hurtful as old fashioned threats in the school cafeteria or playground.

For many teenagers instant messaging is a way of life, a tool to coordinate activity schedules supplement online games and get their homework done.

But it opens them up to bullies hiding behind the anonymity of the internet.

Well i hope you enjoyed this atricle i found it interesting enough to post as a tyrue problem that is arising.

New Liquid Cooling Technology By Cooler Master

I thought this article was alright if your into something such as home appliances and such
but to each his own enjoy.web site

,

- Liquid cooling is a method of heat removal from components; the advantage of using liquid cooling is that water has a higher specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity compared to air-cooling. Normally liquid cooling in computers consists of three primary components consisting of a CPU water block, a water pump and a radiator. In current computer systems, liquid cooling allows for quieter operation, improved over-clocking and improved heat capabilities which hotter processors can be supported.

Over the past few years, most of the cooling systems in computers tend to have different parts to form a liquid cooling compartment within the system. However at Cooler Master, we have designed and developed a new liquid cooling technology which allows all the components of the liquid cooling system to form into one specific cooling unit. Furthermore, this new system comes fully assembled and allows easy installation for your high temperature CPU. All you need to do is mount the water block on the CPU, attach the radiator and fan to the inside of your chassis. It is that simple.

Cooler Master is the first in the world to patent (pending approval) an exclusive design of a 2-in-1 module which consists of a pump and a CPU water block to eliminates the need for a 5½" bay to mount the pump or tank. This new technology comes completely fully assembled which includes the CPU water block, radiator, fan, thermal paste, cooling fluid and tubing. That is everything you need to bring those high performance CPU temperatures down, saving your steps and your valuable time. There is no much maintenance required on the cooler, as no refills of cooling fluid is needed for two years. Besides, the pipe is connected to the block with a vacuum process that ensures absolutely no leaks.

Well i think its kinda cool it seems rteally simple and doesnt excately recuire a genius 2 work it out.

Rock Radio Listeners Sound Off About New Technology

Well i read this article and found it to be right on the money for i still think that radio
still has a long way to go.web site






SOUTHFIELD, Mich., April 25 /PRNewswire/ -- New technology, such as
satellite radio and iPods, is having an impact on Rock Radio listeners.  But
most believe that radio is a venerable medium that will not be replaced by
these new media anytime soon, according to a web poll just released by Rock
Radio consulting firm Jacobs Media.  The web poll was conducted during March-
April among more than 19,000 listeners of Classic Rock, Active Rock, and
Alternative radio stations from around the U.S.
   "It's clear that we are in the midst of a technological tsunami that's
impacting all media," said Jacobs Media President Fred Jacobs.  "Rock radio
listeners are enjoying and utilizing many of the new ways to receive music and
information, but it's also too early to make funeral arrangements for radio."
   According to the poll, Rock listeners are actively involved with other
media, including IMing, text messaging on cell phones, and video game play.
This is especially true with younger listeners, who provide clues about what
adults will be doing in the next few years.  However, radio and more mature
media, such as television, still garner the largest segment of media usage.
   A Media Usage Pyramid is available at:
   http://www.jacobsmedia.com/techsurvey_charts.htm
   The "pyramid" mixes and matches media usage.  Radio, television, and
Internet usage are measured based on one hour daily or more.  The other
activities on the "pyramid" are based on weekly usage or more.  Fred Jacobs
points out, "It provides a fascinating hierarchy of how Rock listeners are
making use of the new technologies available to them.  It also shows that one
of the loudest new media voices -- satellite radio -- is still very much in
its infancy, despite the onslaught of PR."

Once more i hope you enjoyed this article and  dont give up on good old radio
it hasnt let us down too much.

DMB technology in new Samsung handsets

This is just a little bit or new technology that i thought was kind of cool to see for evrything keeps getting smaller and smaller. web site

The Samsung SCH-B200 DMB handset has the new swivel screen feature and packs all the peripherals one could wish for: 2 megapixel camera, MP3 and MPEG4 playback, 260k LCD 2.2 inch screen, battery life that supports over 3 hours video playback and upgradeable TransFlash memory.

Although the Korean version uses satellite technology, a European model is also in the making; the SCH-B1200 will use terrestrial transmissions instead. There is no official line yet on when it will arrive here or how much it will cost.

Well i thought it was pretty cool that its on a swivel and also its got a lot of technology packed into it.

Ford to test new diesel technology for auto-engines

I thought that this was a cool article for it contains information about making the enviorment better. web site Ford Motor Company has signed an agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to try and develop prototype of a new diesel engine, an EPA invention, for commercial use. Diesel is 25-40 per cent more efficient than gasoline, but currently just one per cent of the American passenger vehicles use diesel. Ford and EPA announced the agreement on Friday at EPA's National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where they showcased a Ford Galaxy minivan to demonstrate the 'Clean Diesel Combustion' (CDC) technology - developed by EPA. The diesel minivan got 30-40 per cent better mileage than a gasoline minivan, while meeting EPA's emission standards for nitrogen oxide, EPA researchers claimed. Accordingly, the new technology prevents by-production of nitrogen oxide during the combustion. "Diesel engines are an extremely attractive technology to help achieve EPA's future emissions standards," said EPA's Jeff Holmstead. "Moving these types of innovative technologies from the laboratory to the marketplace is essential, if we are to continue to improve air quality for all Americans," he added. Ford's vice-president Dr. Gerhard Schmidt said that clean diesel engine development was an important part of Ford Motor Company's global strategy "to meet the future needs of customers and the environment". I thought that this article was very informative and i hope you can put it to use.

Stem Cell Research and Artificial Lung Technology Presented at ISHLT Meeting Today

Seeing as new medical developments are an obsession of mine i put up this nice little article for all to see.web site

ADDISON, Texas, April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Promising new technology may extend the life of a failing organ for patients suffering from heart or lung disease while they wait for a donor organ. The use of stem cells may eliminate the need for a transplant and even eradicate heart disease in patients. Research and discussion will be presented today during symposia at the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) Annual Meeting and Scientific Session in Philadelphia.


CARDIAC DEVICES

Presenter Robert Kormos, M.D., University of Pittsburgh (Penn.) Medical Center, advocates the development and use of a pump device that will address, and in some cases eliminate, heart failure. Partnered with stem cell technology, the new pump would be smaller and minimally invasive and would allow a patient's heart to emerge strong enough to accept the implanted stem cells that would improve the heart's function and reduce or eliminate heart disease in the patient.

"We know from successful trials outside the U.S. that implanting stem cells results in myocardial recovery. By changing our way of thinking and addressing heart failure in its earlier states, and by using devices and stem cells together, a patient can enjoy life without heart failure instead of continuing to live with it," says Kormos.

Kormos also suggests that a new approach for ventricular assist devices (VAD) is on the horizon for cardiac patients. While VAD usage gains increasing acceptance, a new way of thinking may change the way doctors use these assistive devices.

Pope Loved Tradition & Technology

Well taking in certain results that involve the popes recent death i thought this would be an approprriate article. web site

CBS) As steadfast as John Paul II was in maintaining centuries' old traditions, he was also the pope who presided over the church's adaptation of modern technology, setting precedents even in death.

News of the Pope's death came in the form of an official e-mail sent to journalists. Vatican press officials also used SMS messages ("short message service," also known as "texting") to beam alerts on upcoming news bulletins to journalists' cell phones. Video images of the pope's body lying in state have been beamed to the world via satellite and over the Internet.

John Paul II was elected Pope in October of 1978, a year after Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak introduced the Apple II. Computers and e-mail were in their infancy and the World Wide Web hadn't yet been invented.

But as the world embraced technology, so did the Vatican - launching the Holy See Web site in 1995, in the early stage of the dot com boom. In 2003, the Church launched the Vatican Museums Web site, providing online access to its 500-year-old art collection as well as virtual tours of the Vatican Museums.

The Pope had his own email address (john_paul_ii@vatican.va), and
was the first pontiff to be photographed at the keyboard of a computer, sending an e-mail to his bishops.

The Church also used cell phone SMS to send out daily messages based on papal speeches and daily homilies. Last year, the Vatican entered into message distribution deals with Verizon Wireless and other carriers.

Well i thought its was a funny picture and funny how someone of the popes Level and age would appreciate and adapt to todays technology.
