From deep inside your radio. Back from State College, Pennsylvania, and thanks to everybody who showed up for the world premiere of Richard Thompson's Cabaret of Souls, and thank you to Richard for including me in that amazing show. And something's humming. All right then, I guess it doesn't know the words. Ladies and gentlemen, work to clean out nuclear waste from underground tanks and to build a plant to treat the waste at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. That's not where Indians live. That's where nuclear waste live. Kind of like an Indian reservation, but without the casino. Anyway, that work was stopped 31 times over nine years to address safety or construction quality issues. That's according to the government accountability office. They say more work needs to be done to track the costs of the work stoppages. Depending what causes a work stoppage and how long it lasts, some stoppages increase
already substantial cleanup costs. Huh. Department of Energy is advised to establish criteria for when contractors should track the causes and costs of work stoppages. These criteria should recognize the importance of worker and nuclear safety. It's a big job, and apparently nobody's got to do it. And ladies and gentlemen, the worst of the worst, Jawad Jabbar Sad Khan al Salani was quietly given his freedom this week by the US government, allowed to exit Guantanamo Bay. Says his lawyer, he should never have been there. He was never charged with a crime after being labeled an enemy combatant as a result of claims he'd been associated with the Taliban. He denied the charges, was not allowed to call witnesses to refute the claims. Nobody ever alleged he was with al Qaeda was involved in any hostilities against the United States.
He was transferred to the custody of the Iraqi government and was decision made by a task force created by the president and came days before federal court hearing in Washington on a habeas corpus petition, filed by his pro bono attorneys. Says lawyers, he's an innocent refugee from Basra, Iraq, who is imprisoned at Guantanamo for over seven years without any charges ever filed against him. He has four children, the youngest to whom he has never met. His lawyers say he and his family fled Saddam Hussein in 1996, sought refuge in Iran in Pakistan. The family sought asylum in Pakistan but could not obtain it, sought to return to Iran, but were left stranded by guides in Afghanistan where he was turned over to US forces in January for a ransom after he couldn't pay a bribe to supporters of a notorious warlord. He ended up in Guantanamo. Nearly six years ago, the US military recommended he be released from Guantanamo after apparently lengthy interrogations, but the Bush administration would not follow that recommendation. The worst to the worst, ladies and gentlemen, got to put him somewhere, and now it's the big
weekend. I feel so archaic broadcasting in analog, yes you know that the analog signals of American television stations were switched off on Friday, June 12th. The New York Times headlined a switch over that went smoothly. All right then, let's check that out. At a makeshift phone bank, local television stations set up in Seattle, one volunteer and engineering coordinator said half an hour after the hotline opened, we're inundated.
It's a zoo. Calls came in from a variety of questions from cable customers who just wanted to double check. They're all set to free TV users who were told by operators they'd need a converter box. The hotline in Seattle fielded 340 calls in the first four hours. The New York Times under the headline, smooth transition, said the FCC's calls on Friday tripled those of Thursday, which had itself set a record, says one executive producer at Seattle television station to a caller, you've done all the right things, you may be out of options. Reception is the problem, he said, it's the thorn in everybody's side. That's a digital signals are less forgiving than analog signals. Or why didn't they tell you we did a volunteer said many of her callers were elderly people
who couldn't climb onto their roofs to adjust their antennas as recommended. All right, that's Seattle. Now here are some first person reports, Daniel writes, dear Harry, I've long heard you talk about the problems with TV's digital transition, that's why 10 months ago I was pleasantly surprised when I have to purchasing a new high-def TV I scanned for digital channels and not only received all the standard channels and beautiful digital, but also extra digital channels. For 10 months, I had no problems receiving all these digital broadcasts over a pair of rabbit ears. On Friday, June 12th, the day of the transition suddenly digital channel 2.1 CBS and Los Angeles and ABC Los Angeles and public television Los Angeles have disappeared from the airways in my neighborhood. I have a second TV with a digital converter box attached and after repeated checking, these same channels show no signal, even though I never had any trouble receiving them before on that TV. The FCC of course recommends that you keep re-scanning because digital channels move.
Isn't that cute? So Daniel writes again, actually I believe the FCC said cable and dis users would be unaffected by the digital change over. My cable system, time-warners, inability to keep the same channels for digital digital 2.7 and 9 is surely a failure on their part as they can assign any signal to the channel of their choice. My issue was strictly over the air as I'm on antenna. This morning, after discovering digital 13 and 11 missing as well, it doesn't make any difference to anyone by newscorp, I decided to take your advice. He's talking to me and re-scan, all the missing digital signals returned. They never told us that if we'd already been in drawing digital TV over the air, we'd have to re-scan in order to retain those channels. Re-scan, keep re-scanning. Moss writes, Harry, I'd doodifully applied for a subsidized upgrade through our local PBS station. I got our digital tuner with our government coupon a few weeks ago, plugging it in. I noticed there was no on-off switch, meaning it was a new vampire load on the power grid. Well, at least we were getting multiple signals per old channel.
Change day came, I decided to explore the new frontier, PBS and a number of other channels had dropped out. The one channel I did get featured in an interview with a young woman, sharing her enthusiasm for her new career in the porn industry. I wrote it off to first date, jitters, and decided to wait a while and give everyone a chance to get it together. That evening, I returned and switched my TV on with great anticipation. The new digital tuner's transformer had apparently burned out. I no longer receive any signals. Tom writes, I'm on my third HDTV set, but watch little conventional TV, mostly DVD. And Netflix, when I do watch it's over the air for sports. I thought I was prepared for the big switch over, but with surprise, when I re-scanned, clue, the day after, but could not receive my local ABC and CBS affiliates. Reading a blog or two, discovered that the affiliates also switched from UHF to low power VHF back to the past, no warning, no reception for over the air folks. Don't know where Tom is located.
Tom, Harry, I finally got fed up with pixelated reception and intermittent sound on my digital TV and called the FCC hotline. I've spent approximately $150 and many hours following the instructions from antennaweb.com to the letter. I bought a gigantic antenna and installed it on the roof and pointed it directly along the azimuth provided by the website and still the reception is sketchy at best. Pretty good on some days, not so good on others, terrible on some. And I don't live in the boonies. I live in the middle of Atlanta, surrounded by broadcast towers, none of which are more than eight miles from my house. Analog, I got along fine with rabbit ears. I waited till transition day to call, the hotline and the faint hope that the two stations I want to watch, both public TV, have not here to forebend broadcasting at full power. I called the FCC, I spoke to a friendly woman who told me that it sounded like I'd done all that I was supposed to do than a lot of people had called and told her very similar stories to mine. She said I should wait until tomorrow and rescan my set, but she didn't seem to think it would do much good.
Then she told me she herself had had the same difficulty and had to move my antenna all over the house without being able to get adequate reception. I finally just got cable, she told me. So there you have it, Tom writes, what the FCC is really suggesting we all do. PS, I already have cable, but I'm tired of paying them in opalistic prices. And James writes, here's a curious experience when we went digital with the three TVs in our home. Talk with over the air rather than pay direct TV in other $10 a month for local stations. I was very happy with a couple of exceptions, everything was fine. And I kept hearing that stations, digital transmissions were not at full power yet because of the need to power analog signals as well. So I reasoned once the analog goes off, digital reception should be even better. This morning, James writes, I checked all three sets and without exception, reception was debt decidedly worse, especially for the VHF stations. I get K and VCs in Los Angeles, apparently, clearly on all three sets. But KCBS and K ABC, to name two, are completely unattainable, did okay, Cal. I wonder what in the world happened.
I would not have been surprised to see my digital reception stay the same as before, but worse. Now he lives in Orange County, rescan by the same thing as Daniel or call the FCC and to make sure that everybody understands how this is being covered. The Los Angeles dog trainer writes an article quoting the FCC saying that you'll benefit in many ways from the digital transition. And they quote, among other people, me. Here's the Los Angeles Times quoting me quote, I've been thumping this tub for a long time about how crazy it is that we're being forced to upgrade. He complained on his list show last Saturday, memo to the Los Angeles Times. Hello, it's Sunday. I know all the days beginning with S look alike, hello, welcome to the show. What's the
I'm getting burned and can't do Oh, the makeup love's so strong You must sprinkle dust all around my bed You must have had a black cat bone Oh, just that of a glance Oh, you know you're putting in on your train Oh, but I'm looking to you
Yeah, I'm having a heavy time Oh, you must have put a blue on me Oh, you must have had a black cat bone Oh, where you got me, but you girl They don't took it in Oh, you must have put a blue on me Oh, you must have put a blue on me
Oh, you must have put a blue on me Oh, you must have put a blue on me Oh, I'm having a black home, my mother no right I'm having a good day, set me free Free, free Oh, you must have put a blue on me Oh, you must have put a blue on me Oh, when you got me, but you girl They don't took it in
Oh, you must have put a blue on me From the edge of America, from the home of the homeless I'm Harry Scherer, welcome me to this edition of the show So I must, well, I mustn't, I feel like I want to Thank you, weigh in on this whole Dave and Sarah controversy That's been clogging the airwaves
First, I'm sure Dave really regrets that his writers didn't write a better joke Because he, he says now he was talking about the 18-year-old daughter But that's not the daughter that Sarah Palin had at the ballgame And the joke was about the daughter at the ballgame getting knocked up by Alex Rodriguez Who's a Yankee player who, and they were at a Yankee game So Sarah Palin wasn't making an incredible leap of misunderstanding But I must say I'm delighted that Governor Palin has decided to make a public show Of the fact that she has no sense of humor And I'm not saying that critically, I applaud that I've been repulsed for too long, as you may have, by the unsimly spectacle of politicians Getting into bed with so-called humorists or comedians
For the former, it helps to bolster their dubious credentials as ordinary guys and gals And for the latter, it's ratings In the humble opinion of this host of this broadcast, humorists and politicians should be adversaries It's good for the country, and now ladies and gentlemen, news of the war marchin Soft glistening to the war, we can listen to the war You know, when he sings it that way, it almost sounds nice I said almost Deadline bond, climate change will force millions of people to leave their homes to flea rising seas and drought over the coming decades Recrying a new plan for mass migration, according to a report published this week Because we've been dealing with migration so well up to now
Funds are needed to help migrants escape natural disasters which will worsen threatening political stability so the report published by the UN The UN University, the hell is that? Care International and Columbia University Environmental-induced migration and displacement has the potential to become an unprecedented phenomenon both in terms of scale and scope It says the study, in coming decades climate change will motivate or force millions of people to leave their homes in search of viable livelihoods and safety The report says the climate change science is too new to forecast exact numbers of migrants but it cited an estimate by the international organization for migration, the IOM 200 million environmentally-induced migrants by 2050 Especially vulnerable areas of the world include island states that says it's too blue and the Maldives Dry areas such as Africa, Sahel and in Mexico and Delta regions in the Bangladesh, Vietnam and Egypt It's not the Bangladesh, it's Bangladesh, I made a mistake In the densely populated Ganges, Mekong and Nile River Delta as a sea level rise of 1 meter could affect 23 and a half million people and reduce the land currently under intensive agriculture by at least 1.5 million
Hectares Hectares Hectares Alright then, once again, these metric measurements raise their ugly heads, hectares The Greenland ice sheet is melting faster than expected according to a new study led by a University of Alaska at Fairbanks Researcher and published in the journal Hydrological Processes, you know, the kid keeps throwing it in the water so I never get to read it Study results indicate that the ice sheet may be responsible for nearly 25% of global sea rise in the past 13 years The study also shows that seas now are rising by more than 3 millimeters a year, 8 at 50% faster than the average for the 20th century From 1985 to 2007, overall precipitation of the ice sheet decreased while surface ablation, combination of evaporation melting and calving of the ice sheet increased Since 1995, the ice sheets are lost an average of 265 cubic kilometers a year, which is contributed to about 0.7 millimeters a year in global sea level rise
You just have to go metric to understand this stuff, I guess Damon Matthews, a professor in Concordia University's Department of Geography planning and the environment has found a direct relationship This may be new, between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming, Matthews together with colleagues from Victoria in Australia and the UK used to combination of global climate models A historical climate data to show there is a simple linear relationship between total cumulative carbon emissions and global temperature change This will be published in the upcoming issue of nature Until now, it's difficult to estimate how much climate will warm in response to a given carbon dioxide emissions scenario because of the complex interactions between human emissions, carbon sinks, atmospheric concentrations and temperature change Matthews and colleagues show that despite these uncertainties, each emission of carbon dioxide results in the same effect on global temperature regardless of when or over what period of time the emission occurs
It means we can now say if you admit that ton of carbon dioxide, it will lead to point and then a bunch of zeros, one five degrees of global temperature change If we want to restrict global warming to no more than two degrees, we must restrict total carbon emissions to a little more than half a trillion tons of carbon We'll work on that. I'll work on that this weekend News of the warm, ladies and gentlemen, a copyrighted feature of this broadcast The new Iraq, ladies and gentlemen, continues to surprise and delight, mainly surprise Most large military installations of the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan have large uncovered pits to dispose of and burn waste More than 400 people who served in Iraq and Afghanistan now say they got sick from exposure to toxic materials burnt in those pits
One such giant pit at the largest base in Iraq has garnered the most attention, critics fear that soldiers, contractors and Iraqis have been exposed to cancer causing dioxins, arsenic, carbon monoxide and hazardous medical waste Make it nice wherever we go, oh, who operates the pits, goes with that saying Kellogg brown and root, formerly part of Haliburton Law suits are being filed across the country against KBR, they are the pits, plaintiffs want them to cover the costs of medical monitoring, future medical expenses and other damages KBR, this will surprise you, has denied any liability The disabled American veterans is compiling a national database of sickness related to exposure to the burn pits, about 450 people so far have contacted DAV to say they believe they are sick from exposure, about 80 of them have leukemia, lymphoma or brain cancer, about 200 have pulmonary disorders, including asthma, chronic coughs, sleep apnea and allergy-like symptoms Congress say they suffer headaches and chronic fatigue, the department of defense so far has maintained that burn pits pose no long-term health risks
I guess the assumption is going to be that people die before it gets long-term But an epidemiologist Shira Kramer says at a congressional press conference there's a strong link between burning toxic materials and disease and sickness in humans At joint base, Balod, in Iraq, the central logistics hub for the US military in that country, a giant pit was for more than four years the only place to dispose of trash, including plastics, food and medical waste The pit was spewing accurate smoke over the base, including its housing and hospitals Military Times was the first to report about the burn pit and the potential problems arising from the toxic plumes According to their report, one reason many soldiers suspect the burn pit to be the cause of their health problems is a widely circulated 2006 memo in which a military environmental engineer cited a still classified study labeling the pit quote the worst environmental site I have personally visited Unquote, the memo written by Lieutenant Colonel Darren Curtis, a bio-environmental engineering flight commander, concluded, quote, there is an acute health hazard for individuals, unquote, still classified
You were making it nice on a totally different subject ladies and gentlemen Because we'd like to give you conceptual whiplash here on the broadcast The broadcasting industry in this United States and its chief lobby, the National Association for Broadcasters have been busily fighting against a proposal And now I speak with a leg and two camps here because I am a broadcaster but I also involved in musical projects and I own some copy rights So the broadcasters have been fighting a proposal for years, I'm going to backtrack now For years, ever since the 1940s, broadcasters have had to pay what's called a compulsory license to a couple of organizations for the privilege of playing recordings of copyrighted compositions
That is to pay for the right to use the music and lyrics The performers who perform those compositions get nothing from the broadcasters, so now there's an attempt to change that and create a so-called performance royalty So the people whose records you hear get a little taste as well as the songwriters and publishers As I say, the broadcasters in this country have been fighting that tooth and nail Meanwhile, down in Australia, something very different has been happening Cafe and restaurant patrons may soon be eating in silence Australia's largest record companies are proposing to increase the cost of background music played in public up to 2,000 times They could also make gym membership more expensive unless fitness classes use artists excluded by Australian copyright laws including Ellis Presley and Beethoven
So this is 750 record companies in Australia, which I had already gotten a 15-time increase in the cost of music for the nightclub industry So now they're targeting eateries and gyms The only people being left out, apparently, are the performers, speaking of which, associated press says Several radio stations are alleged to have conspired to take a top-selling artist's new single off the air A complaint filed with the FCC says recording artists are being threatened and intimidated for supporting the performance royalty There are hints the blacklisted or boycotted performer may be Bono
He spoke in support of the effort to require radio stations to pay musicians royalties soon after several stations within a major radio broadcast group Notify the artist's label they would no longer play his single on the air Calls and emails by the AP to a spokeswoman for a Bono, we're not immediately returned Just a reminder ladies and gentlemen, whenever you hear recording companies talk about artist rights The appropriate response is a polite giggle Magsville can play cleanest country water Magsville can play wildest mountain dew Magsville can In place it says baby Magsville can get work before they're too well
There's 1352 guitar pickers in Nashville and I can pick more notes than a number of aids in a Tennessee I do There's 1352 guitar cases in Nashville and any one of the packs of guitar can play twice as better than I will Magsville can play cleanest country water Magsville can play wildest mountain dew Magsville can in place it says baby Magsville can get work before they're too well Magsville can play cleanest country water Magsville can play wildest mountain dew Magsville can play cleanest country water Magsville can play wildest mountain dew

Stay wildlife officials in California complained when the corps sought to clear oaks cotton woods and willows from 1600 miles of levees in the Central Valley, saying the policy would destroy habitat, the corps eventually dropped the idea. Okay then. Experts outside the corps says a tree has never caused a U.S. levee to fail. If trees are a problem, why aren't we having problems with them? Asks George Stills, sorry, Sills, who formerly worked for the corps's engineer research and development center in Vicksburg. There's never been a documented problem, he says, with a tree. In a 2008 email, Sills told the corps to remove his name from an updated vegetation policy paper he worked on for the corps, he said he ran analyses that looked at the possibility that the trees caused any of the levee failures in New Orleans.
And quote, it was determined that trees did not lead to any of these failures. And quote, current corps officials see it differently. The agency does not know whether a tree is ever directly caused a levee failure says it's current dam and levee expert, but you know the dam failures have been linked to trees, including in 1970s collapse in Georgia. A tree list levee they say is also easier to inspect and repair during the flood. This is something they've dreamed up. It's like there hell bent to write up some negative reports as levee commissioner in Oklahoma. United States Army Corps of Engineers, ladies and gentlemen, working to keep working. And now the apologies of the week. Chicago Bullstar Derek Rose is moving quickly to tamp down a growing controversy over a photo circulating online of him flashing gang signs in a statement released this week.
Shortly after Chicago Tribune and other news outlets reported on the photo. Rose called the picture a bad joke made during his one year at the University of Memphis. Next time stay the other three years and you'll figure it out. And strongly denied he's ever been involved in gang activity. This photo of me he says was taken at a party attended Memphis while I was in school there was meant as a joke a bad one. I now admit I want to infatically state now forever that Derek Rose is anti gang anti drug and anti violence. In posing for this picture, I'm guilty of being young now even of using extremely poor judgment. I sincerely apologize to all my fans for my mistake. I urge all my young fans to stay away from gangs. In the picture Rose was throwing signs for the gangster disciples nation of prominent Chicago gang with tens of thousands of members. A dominant presence in the neighborhood where Rose grew up or at least explains how I knew the signs. An assistant manager at a Vancouver Walmart has apologized after she failed to call 911 when an 80 year one year old man fell and broke his shoulder in the store's parking lot.
Robert Mixter is recovering. The fall occurred outside the Walmart. This assistant manager emerged from the store after the man fell. She asked family members to fill out an accident form asked to call 911. She allegedly refused saying it was against company policy. Two corporate spokesman for Walmart confirmed the company's policy says store employees are expected to call 911 if someone needs medical assistance. Their version is the assistant manager asked family members if she could use their cell phone to call 911. That was an error said the spokesman adding the company would have preferred that she used her radio to ask employees inside to call 911. The assistant manager has apologized to the family for not calling 911.
But the call was cheaper. Had been made because it was made it would have been made at Walmart. Photos of surface date line Oklahoma City photos of surfing that appeared to show Jessica Alba defacing Oklahoma City property with posters of a great white shark. Police are investigating. Police discovered the posters aimed at raising awareness about the species declining numbers glued to a downtown bridge in elsewhere, including a billboard displaying a United Way ad. She's no problem of filling a movie. She's now released a statement of apology. She got involved in something I should have had no part of. I realized I should have used better judgment and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign. I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Oklahoma City and the United Way for my involvement in this incident. Unquote her lawyers and her statement.
A Sacramento radio team here we go again issued a non-air apology for comments that upset people in the lesbian gay bisexual and transgender community LGBT to you. The un-air personalities of the rob aren't you don't you have been off the air this week after he did reaction to comments made about transgender teens on that broadcast. Disjockeys rob Williams and Arnie states labeled transgender people freaks weirdos and drama queens. Quote our audience made clear we had made it seem that we endorse or allow or encourage the harming and abuse of children the bullying and vilifying of those who are different and singling out of transgenders for harm said Williams in a statement. I want you to very clearly understand that I proudly and fully apologize for these statements completely. A proud apology ladies and gentlemen that may be a less show first. He said he was sorry that the show made it sound as if the disjockeys tolerate harm or mocking of teens. If you heard a child in any way Williams said if you joke about hurting a child in any way if you advocate or tolerate hurting a child in any way the rob and Arnie and Dawn show will stand against you.
Hear that Dave. He said the show continue to be a forum for honest. They have been labeled intolerant by transgender advocates and others local and national businesses including McDonald's AT&T have pulled advertising from the show or plan said they plan to discontinue ads. You mean it's about money. The apologies of the week latest gentlemen copyrighted feature this broadcast now. How's the economy doing well depends whom you ask. Lawrence Summers the head of the president's economic council former head of Harvard. Reputedly a brilliant man although according to a profile at the beginning of the week in the New York Times prickly a bit prickly. I gave a speech this week where he warned against falling for a believing in quote false dawns on quote he said there will be false dawns as we try to recover from whatever this thing is that we're in.
That's Lawrence Summers. Meanwhile Timothy Geithner the treasury secretary has another job now obviously ladies and gentlemen when you're the out party you say things look crappy when you're in power and it's on you you say you know. Little new growth promising shoots so Timothy Geithner is proposing new caps on executive pay the banks well the bank stocks are going up mainly because according to what I've read they're doing so well borrowing money from the government at no cost and then lending it out at interest that's a good deal I'd like to get into that business can I know. And as I say Timothy Geithner's job unlike Larry Summers is not to warn of false dawns dawns but to talk up the glimmers of hope.
Oh yeah that's what I say. Now listen here and this storefronts filling up the malls full closure man's making lots more calls you still got a job but you pay check track. You can only get alone if you're a bank only get alone if you're a bank. But they're glimmers of hope.
That's what I say. Oh yeah. Say it with me one more time. Oh yeah. Now listen here the deficit gets you drew by the day can we ever really make it going there are bailouts for the rich layoffs for the rest.
You've got the stress you must feel the test you've got the stress you must feel the test but there are glimmers of hope. The shower is cold but they are slipping you so yeah wait to deal when the way you can cope it's no pool but two skimmers school with no primers.

One more thing your house will soon be worth less than your car and then I'm making autos near where you are a big night out it's going to be your dollar meal.
It feels like no one knows the way it feels yeah it feels like no one knows the way it feels but where there are glimmers of hope. Getting less slippery even though it's a slope and reasons to smile there's reasons to move it's a reason it's shit business that's sinning. Lively as a cultural of baby squirmish turn up the dimmers and basking them. Glimmers of hope that's what I say glimmers of hope.

Nearly 55% of 4.5 million Twitter members have never tweeted, written anything. More than half of the Twitter members have no followers, and about 55% of them aren't following anyone else's messages. A study by Harvard Business School researchers concluded that 10% of Twitter members account for 90% of tweets. And that does include Larry King. Or whoever's writing him.
