Six Years Later

From the Newshole… The special six-year anniversary of 9/11 edition of Countdown…

Six Years Later

Some of what we’re working on for tonight…

Tonight Keith broadcasts live from ground zero, in the footprints of where the World Trade Center stood until this date 6 years ago. We have some special guests lined up for the evening, including Tom Brokaw on the political decay that has taken place over the six years since the attacks.

Keith will also speak to a guy you’ve never heard of before. A guy named Frank Silecchia…one of the brave workers who spent months at ground zero, sifting through wreckage and debris…only to suffer dire consequences for his heroic effort. His story is written up in the Bergen Record…here’s an excerpt:

Frank Silecchia says he has good news on this sixth anniversary of the 9/11 terror attack.

He’s not dead.

The bad news is that Silecchia, a construction worker who virtually traded his Little Ferry apartment to labor for months at Ground Zero, can barely walk a block without wheezing. Like hundreds of other Ground Zero workers, Silecchia breathed too much toxic dust and is now paying for it.

“I’m dying a slow death,” he said on Monday from his new home — a trailer parked on a patch of a friend’s yard not far from Coney Island in Brooklyn.

Also, from Stephen Hadley to Condi Rice to Osama Bin Laden and more, Keith will have a special “6 Years Later: Where Are They Now” update.

Plus, we’ll have all the news on the Petraeus/Crocker testimony before the senate, including more on the exchange between Crocker and Joe Biden recounted in the NY Times. An excerpt can be found after the jump.

Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, whose Democratic chairman and ranking Republican were openly skeptical of progress in Iraq, that although many challenges lie ahead, the situation is “slowly improving.”

“In non-diplomatic speak, what does that mean?” asked Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, the chairman of the panel, in a session that invoked memories of Vietnam and the 9/11 attacks.

“Neither of us believe we can see beyond next summer,” Mr. Crocker replied, alluding to Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top military commander in Iraq, who was sitting next to him.

Pressed by Mr. Biden, who is running for president and who said he is doubtful about success in Iraq after talking to rank-and-file troops in several visits there, the ambassador said he thought it would be “well beyond the end of next summer” before a stable, self-sufficient Iraq would be a reality.

From Stephen Hadley to Condi Rice to Osama Bin Laden, Keith will have a special “6 Years Later: Where Are They Now” report as he comes to you live from ground zero tonight. Also…Tom Brokaw joins KO to

Broadcasters Oppose Wireless Net Service

Similar things are already being done… KET is broadcasting computer services for the Kentucky Cabinet for Human and Family Services, Kentucky Division of Emergency Management, and local health and law enforcement agencies. Sure, KET’s broadcast is limited, broadcasts over their allotted broadcast frequencies, and does not allow Internet access, but the concept is the same. All that is required for a person to have is an antenna, an HDTV tuner in their PC, and the available software package.
This technology will work, and will not cause detrimental interference with television or cable broadcast (once refined–of course). The networks just need to grow up, and stop complaining. – Jeremiah

Broadcasters Oppose Wireless Net Service
kaufmanmoore writes “The AP reports that the National Association of Broadcasters is launching ads to target lawmakers over a push by a consortium of technology companies including Google, Intel, HP, and MSFT who want to use unused and unlicensed TV spectrum (the so-called ‘white space’) for wireless broadband. Broadcasters are airing concerns about the devices creating interference with broadcast television. In a statement, NAB chairman Alan Frank takes a swipe at technology companies: ‘While our friends at Intel, Google and Microsoft may find system errors, computer glitches and dropped calls tolerable, broadcasters do not.'”

Brain Differences In Liberals and Conservatives

interesting…

Brain Differences In Liberals and Conservatives
i_like_spam writes “Scientists from NYU and UCLA report in Nature Neuroscience that the brains of Democrats and Republicans process information differently. This new study finds that the differences are apparent even when the brain processes common information, not just political topics. From the study, liberals were more likely to be accurate and showed more brain activity in the region associated with analyzing conflicts. A researcher not affiliated with the study stated, liberals ‘could be expected to more readily accept new social, scientific or religious ideas.’ Moreover, ‘the results could explain why President Bush demonstrated a single-minded commitment to the Iraq war and why some people perceived Sen. John F. Kerry… as a flip-flopper.'”

Updates to the blog…

Well, I’ve had fun, over the past two days… I’ve been copying over entries that I had written at MySpace over to this blog… I really don’t know why… Maybe I just see the need to have all of my thoughts in one place, besides, I’ve vowed to blog here and only here (at least until I can find a publishing tool that will allow me to post to several sites at once).
All of these former MySpace posts have been designated with a MySpace icon, and have the date that they were published… Sorry, I didn’t feel like keeping the time accurate…
I will be going back through all of these entries, and trying to tag them. For that matter, I will be trying to go back through ALL of my LJ entries and tagging/re-tagging them. I really didn’t care for the system that I was trying to create with the tags, so I am just going to choose keywords rather than categorizing… should be a bit simpler for me to accomplish, plus it will seem to follow the model that everyone else out there uses…
So, if you haven’t read the old MySpace blog entries, then please, feel free to hit the archives…
