For the second year in a row, commercial broadcast networks have no contenders in the Best Drama field, but the competition is fierce with “Breaking Bad” (AMC), “Downton Abbey”(PBS), “Game of Thrones” (HBO), “Homeland” (Showtime), “Mad Men” (AMC), and “Boardwalk Empire” (HBO), all making the list again – and newcomer “House of Cards” (Netflix). In the Outstanding Comedy Series category, “Louie” (FX Networks), “Modern Family” (ABC), “Veep” (HBO), “The Big Bang Theory” (CBS), “30 Rock” (NBC) and “Girls” (HBO) are all vying to win. In the lead actress in a drama series, Vera Farmiga, Claire Danes, Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, Michelle Dockery, Robin Wright, Connie Britton are all hoping to take the winged statuette home. As are their comedy counterparts, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Laura Dern, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Lena Dunham and Edie Falco. As for the leading men, Damian Lewis is favored by many to win for his role in “Homeland,” but Bryan Cranston could win again for “Breaking Bad.” And it’s likely to be another big year for Louis C.K. We’ll ask a couple leading critics for their predictions and open up the phones to get yours. What are your favorite shows from this year’s lineup?

Nearly every Australian voted in that election - but not out of choice. It was because they have to. Voting has been required in Australia since the 1920s and it results in a 90 percent turnout at their elections. Australia is one of 23 countries around the world that require their citizens to cast ballots. Nearly every election cycle someone makes the argument that Americans should be required to vote to boost our usually-dismal turnout. Only 15 percent of Los Angeles residents voted in the last mayoral election. The 2012 presidential election only got 57 percent of people out to the polls. Would requiring citizens to vote help get people more engaged in the election process? What are some of the problems with this? Without mandatory voting, how else could citizens be encouraged to participate?

It’s also been referred to as “fat letters,” because it lets parents know if their child is overweight. The purpose of the letter is to inform parents of their child’s health, and its coming under some harsh criticism.According to a report published by Kristine Madsen, 13 states require BMI screening (Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee). Seven states, including California, require a fitness assessment that includes a body component. But only 9 states, like Massachusetts and Illinois, require parental notification of the results.

The results must be sent to the state, but individual school districts decide if the information is sent to parents. Proponents say that giving the parents the fitness results are necessary to reduce childhood obesity. Opponents say that if letters are sent out, they need to come with helpful information not just numbers. Others worry how this could affect students’ self esteem.Do you think parents should be notified of BMI Test Results? Do schools have a responsibility to monitor their students health?

Some think that the President has brought all that grief onto himself by drawing a red line on the use of chemical weapons. Others feel that the President should have acted more decisively, that he shouldn't have kicked the issue back to Congress. On top of all that, domestic support for a military strike against Syria has been tepid at best. A diplomatic solution presented itself this week in the form of an UN resolution that would lead to the disarmament of Syria’s arsenal, even though no census has been reached on how best to achieve that goal. How has the Syria conflict impacted your perception of the President? Does he appear weaker or stronger than before the crisis?

As of 2011, AM listenership fell to 15 percent – a mere 3.1 million people, compared to 18 million who tune in to FM. These days, everything from satellite radio to tall buildings seems to be conspiring to kill AM. Add to that smartphones and consumer electronics, which interfere with many AM stations reducing their transmissions to little more than static – and some say it's time to let it die. But FCC commissioner Ajit Pai says AM is"the audible core of our national culture." And he's on a personal mission to save it. What's the point of trying to salvage AM? Is it even possible? And is it just nostalgia or are there more practical reasons to hold onto AM radio?</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><br> Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Ajit Pai </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">(ah-JEET PIE), Commissioner, Federal Communications Commission</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">BY PHONE</span></b><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><br> <b><span style="color:black"><br> 12:40 – 1:00</span></b><br> <i><span style="color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="color:black">The pros and cons of school dress codes: </span></b><span style="color:black">As students across the country settle into their new classes the administrators are going to be paying close attention to what they're wearing.

AB 1371, sponsored by Assemblyman Steven Bradford (D-Gardena), requires drivers to give cyclists a three-foot buffer zone when travelling in the same direction. California law currently states that drivers can pass cyclists at a safe distance, but it’s never been defined what that distance is. Many states have established three feet as a standard distance, and Pennsylvania’s law mandates a four-feet buffer to pass. AB 1371 is not California’s first attempt at establishing bike safety laws. Governor Jerry Brown has vetoed two previous attempts, but those bills called for drivers to slow down and gave drivers permission to cross the center line to pass cyclists. That language doesn’t exist this time around, but drivers who do not give cyclists the three-feet buffer would be fined a minimum of $35, $220 if there’s a collision. Lawmakers such as Senator Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) say that it’s difficult to gauge a three-feet distance and cyclists sometimes need to swerve. If AB 1371 passes, it will go into effect in September 2014. Should California implement the Three Feet for Safety Act? Is three feet not enough or too much space to pass cyclists? As a motorist, what’s your experience passing cyclists? Are you a cyclist with some close calls?

Never one to shy from a confrontation, Weiner shouted "Who are you to judge me?" and told the man, later identified as Saul Kessler, to go speak with his rabbi. It was a two-minute, heated exchange captured on video, and led to more unfavorable headlines for the former Congressman taken down after lying about "sexting" with numerous women. Do you think the exchange was blown out of proportion?

The IOC has a lot on its plate from picking a host city for the 2020 Games to choosing a new president and deciding which sport will make the cut to stay in the Olympic Games. The three competing host cities - Tokyo, Madrid and Istanbul - all have challenges to overcome and there's no clear front runner. In addition to picking the host city - the IOC will also have to choose which lucky sport will become the 28th official addition to the Olympic Games. Wrestling has its fingers crossed that it won't be booted off the roster after the commission voted earlier this year to remove it from the Games. Baseball and softball are also in contention to stay Olympic sports. After all that, the IOC still has to choose a new president to replace outgoing Jacques Rogge. The former Olympian has headed up the IOC for 12 years and is about to retire. The new president will have a whole host of challenges to take over from concerns over Russia's anti-gay stance in the upcoming Sochi winter Games to concerns about construction underway for 2016 in Rio de Janiero. A lot of lingering questions will be answered by the end of the weekend. Which city will win the 2020 bid? Will Tokyo overcome concerns over radiation from the Fukushina nuclear disaster? Will economic problems and political instability overshadow the bids for Madrid and Istanbul? Will the IOC chose a non-European candidate for president?

It was in response to news that Tyson Foods - a major meatpacker - quietly had sent letters to cattle feedlots indicating Tyson would no longer buy cows fed Zilmax. That's a supplement designed to bulk up cows before slaughter. Tyson cited the health of animals as reason for the change. They said experts have anecdotal evidence of cows becoming lame as a side effect of the growth-inducing drug. Such supplements are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. If market prices are up on the news, consumers can expect supermarket prices to rise, too. Industry watchers are calling this a game-changer. Some also question Tyson's true motivation. Is it because they're trying to gain access to foreign markets that ban growth hormones? Is the export market becoming more important than domestic shoppers for agriculture companies? Will other meatpackers follow suit? Will feedlots be forced to halt using Zilmax and similar drugs?</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Mike Callicrate, </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Cattle producer based in Saint Francis, Kansas; Proprietor of Ranch Foods Direct which markets farm to table beef</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Tom Talbot, </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Cattle producer and Veterinarian from Bishop, California; Past Chairman, Cattle Health and Well-Being Committee, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Dennis Smith</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">, Livestock Industry Analyst and Commodities Broker, Archer Financial Services</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">SEGMENT 2</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">11:21 - 11:42</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:red">NOTE: This segment runs a couple minutes long, but segment 3 is shorter to make up for it.</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:red"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">ENCO #41574 LaborDay2</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">In: (music)</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Out: “...first Hettie Lynne Hurtes has the news.”</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TRT: 20:26.4</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Tyson Foods bans using cattle with Zilmax growth hormone CONT’D</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Kegger!

But just 10 years ago, unprofitable, the company faced bankruptcy. It started with a Danish carpenter who created toys, and through innovation created hit toys for the next four decades. The book, “Brick by Brick: How LEGO Rewrote the Rules of Innovation and Conquered the Global Toy Industry” by David Robertson delves into the company’s ethos, its most popular inventions, what nearly ruined them, and how they bounced back. Robertson’s book is an insider’s story that gives a glimpse into the brand that has reinvented itself through designers, company leadership, and loyal fans. Did you play with LEGOs as a kid?

According to a notable scholar from MIT, the chance of dying in an airplane disaster in the U.S. is 1 in 14 million. Travelling abroad? World-wide, 2012 was the safest year for commercial air travel since 1945. Put another way, MIT’s Arnold Barnett says flying has become so reliable that you could fly every day for 123,000 years before being in a fatal crash. So why are people still afraid of flying? Some are so scared that careers get derailed, vacations never got off the ground, and far-away loved ones get fed up with one-way visits.

Lustiq argues that sugar satisfies the four criteria used to determine whether a substance, like alcohol, should be regulated. 1. Ubiquity: it is everywhere. 2. Toxicity: that consumption in a large amount leads to chronic health problems. 3. Addictiveness: the more we eat it, the more we want it. 4. It has a negative impact on society. Certainly, overindulging your sweet tooth could lead to diabetes, obesity and other health issues, but is sugar really as bad as something like liquor? Should we consider regulating sugar?

Scripps Hospital in San Diego spent $230 million on a new proton beam therapy center set to open this fall. Loma Linda University Medical Center was the first hospital-based proton treatment center in the nation. It's invested millions in the technology and claims that it’s safer and healthier than traditional radiation treatments. Blue Shield claims there is no justification for spending $30,000 using the new machine when research shows that traditional radiation methods deliver similar results. Insurers are under constant pressure to hold down costs but at the same time, patients and doctors are demanding they pay for pricy and often-controversial treatments. How do insurers decide which new treatments are worth spending top dollar?

Scripps Hospital in San Diego spent $230 million on a new proton beam therapy center set to open this fall. Loma Linda University Medical Center was the first hospital-based proton treatment center in the nation. It's invested millions in the technology and claims the success rate is _____ than traditional radiation treatments. Blue Shield claims there is no justification for spending $30,000 using the new machine when research shows that traditional radiation methods deliver similar results. Insurers are under constant pressure to hold down costs but at the same time, patients and doctors are demanding they pay for pricy and often-controversial treatments. How do insurers decide which new treatments are worth spending top dollar? Will hospitals be willing to invest in potentially life saving new treatments if insurers won't cover them?</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Dr. Steven Pearson</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">, President of the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest:</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"> <b>Daniel Fontoura</b>, senior vice president at Loma Linda University Medical Center</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">11:40 –12:00</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Will more cop cams improve behavior of police AND suspects?</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guests: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TBD</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">12:06 – 12:340</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Filmweek: Getaway, Passion, Drinking Buddies and more: </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Larry and KPCC film critics Henry Sheehan and Andy Klein review this week’s releases, including Getaway, Passion, Drinking Buddies and more.

What about ambitious college students who want to land the job of their dreams? Most grads rely on their GPAs, networking and polished resumes packed with summer job experience, volunteerism and recommendations. But can an employer really judge who is ready for the workforce based on an "A+" in Literature 401? A newly revised test for college graduates claims to assess "work competency" and higher-order thinking skills. The Collegiate Learning Assessment, or CLA+, is catching on with some universities which will use it to figure out whether their students are ready for the workforce.

And he’s not the only A-list celeb making electronic cigarettes look cool. The faux smokes are showing up in movies and television shows and enthusiasts known as “Vapers” even have their own convention called VapeFest, coming to Vegas this September. The emerging subculture of “smokers” is obsessed with the technology of their electronic smokes, which can be tricked out with all kinds of flavors and funky accoutrement. E-cigarettes, also known as personal vaporizers and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), are battery powered devices that provide inhaled doses of nicotine by way of a vaporized solution. They’re used by many to simulate and replace tobacco smoking. Fans and advocates swear by them as a great way to quit smoking tobacco. But skeptics say it’s not clear whether they really help people kick the habit and that more research into their health impact is needed. So what is it about e-cigs that’s so appealing to users? And what are the risks? </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Spike Babaian </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">(f) (buh-BAY-un), founder, The National Vapers Club; one of the creators and organizers of VapeFest</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Anne Joseph</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">, M.D., Professor of Medicine; <b>Director, Applied Clinical Research Program</b>; University of Minnesota; President of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (international scientific organization…not speaking for them though)</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">12:30 – 1:00</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">How the ‘sports gene’ could be better than doping:</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> <span style="color:black">Sometimes we can’t help but think that some people would be genetically predisposed to particular abilities. For example, very tall men often hear that they should play basketball, bulky young boys are chided to try out football, and the long-legged are encouraged to take a go at track and field. According to the 10,000-hour rule, popularized by Malcolm Gladwell’s book, “Outliers: The Story of Success,” practice means everything. Not so, says Sports Illustrated writer David Epstein. In his new book, “The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance,” Epstein calls Gladwell’s research biased because the people he studied were already exceptional. According to Epstein, some people have genes that affect their athletic abilities. While growing up, Epstein observed that although a fellow runner was more talented than he was, Epstein improved faster with training. He also noticed that the best runners weren’t just Kenyans, they specifically Kalenjins. “The Sports Gene” mentions how the EPOR gene can cause an athlete to naturally produce more red blood cells, which is the purpose of doping. Other genes affect how someone responds to weight training and regulate how much oxygen is delivered to your body. Do these genes give athletes unfair advantages? What will it lead to in the future? Can you test for “sports genes”? Would it lead to athletic screening? What about in the medical field? Could this lead to more personalized medicine?</span><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">David Epstein</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">, author of "The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance;" he is a senior writer for Sports Illustrated and notably covered Lance Armstrong and the Boston Marathon.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TENTATIVE – DO NOT PROMOTE</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Malcolm Gladwell, </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">author of “Outliers: The Story of Success” (Little, Brown and Company, 2008), which popularized the 10,000-hour rule; he is also a writer for The New Yorker</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">---<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#1F497D">Joel Patterson<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Senior Producer, AirTalk<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">626-583-5375 office<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">858-349-2205 cell<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">@joelerson<o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> </div> Michael Higbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03229225335109401795noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265734533459568862.post-44859542206908416382013-08-22T16:44:00.000-07:002013-08-22T17:43:57.361-07:00AirTalk for Friday, August 23, 2013<div class="WordSection1"> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Contact: Producers Joel Patterson(on vacay), Jasmin Tuffaha, Fiona Ng, Jerry Gorin, Kaitlin Funaro</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">626-583-5100</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b><i><u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">SCHEDULE FOR AIRTALK WITH LARRY MANTLE</span></u></i></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b><i><u><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Friday, August 23, 2013</span></u></i></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">11:06 –11:20</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">OPEN<o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">11:20 -11:40</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Holmes trial: Should juries hear testimony on death penalty procedures?

Roman","serif";color:black">Two cert petitions have been filed with the Supreme Court seeking ruling on whether searching a cell phone requires a warrant. In one case, the US government seeks judgment regarding a case from 2007 that involves a Massachusetts man who was arrested on suspicion of selling drugs. When making the arrest an officer noticed the suspect’s flip phone was receiving a call from “my house”, and he traced the number to an address where police later found more drugs, cash and guns. In his case the defendant (<i>Wurie) </i>argued that the police had no right to look at his cell phone’s call history without a warrant, and though the initial district court denied that motion, the US First Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the defendant. The Obama administration,countering the higher court’s ruling, points to a handful of cases that have given police discretion to search a suspect’s person under the Fourth Amendment, including items like notebooks and pagers, and are seeking judgment on whether searching through a cell phone’s call history is protected in the same way. In the other case, <i>Riley v. California, </i>the police officer searched a suspect’s iPhone, and appeared to have done a more extensive search through the suspect’s contact information. At first glance it seems that searching a basic cell phone’s call log doesn’t seem to violate the Fourth Amendment, but cell phone technology has advanced so much that people nowadays hold a wealth of information and assets on their phones that make this a thornier issue. It seems that one way or the other the Supreme Court will soon have to decide exactly where cell phone data lies under the rules of the Fourth Amendment. Is a cell phone or a smartphone akin to rifling through a paper notebook? Or is it more like searching the nooks and crannies of an automobile, which can often require a warrant for searches? What if the smartphone is connected to “the cloud” and could link up to a plethora of data belonging to the arrestee? </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: <b> </b></span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Jeffrey L.

But today men and women are both equally in the workforce. The study looks at how this dynamic shift of gender roles impacts the dating realm. Do women want equality in dating too? The study shows that younger college-educated men and women were more likely to share the costs of dating.Who should pay for the first date? Should men always pay?

Not so, new study says: </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Despite recent headlines claiming that sex among college students was on the rise, students are actually having less sex than two decades ago. This, according to new research presented last week at the American Sociological Association. Martin Monto, a sociology professor from the University of Portland, found “no evidence of substantial changes in sexual behavior that would support the proposition that there is a new or pervasive ‘hookup culture’ among contemporary college students.” But young adults do seem to be having sex with fewer strings attached to partners. The researchers looked at nationally representative data from the General Social Survey of 1,829 high school grads, ages 18-25, who had finished at least one year of college. They compared answers from 1988-1996 with those from 2002-2010 and found no major differences. These latest findings echo other, similar surveys from researchers across the country. So is the hook-up culture just a myth? What’s behind the popular misconception that hooking up is rampant among college students? What’s really going on behind closed campus doors?</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Laura Hamilton, </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"> Ph.D., Assistant Professor, School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts, University of California, Merced</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">BY PHONE</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Kathleen A.

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">A student at the University of Alabama is suing Best Buy, claiming that revealing photos on her laptop were unjustifiably removed and put on the internet after she left her laptop with Best Buy’s Geek Squad technical support team for repairs. The lawsuit, filed at the US District Court in Alabama, claims an invasion of privacy, breach of contract, and negligent supervision, training and entrustment. March found about 2 years after she’d taken the computer in for repairs that that naked photos of her, which identified her by name, were being shared on peer-to-peer networks like The Pirate Bay. The woman then notified the manager at the Best Buy in Tuscaloosa, and though an agent with Geek Squad claimed to have tracked down the culprit and deleted the files, the agent also allegedly asked her to do him the “favor of not asking who the culprit was”. So instead she filed a police report. We all know that our computers are subject to be tampered with when we give them to IT experts, so we hide the private photos, the password lists and the bank statements, right? Or do we? And can’t a savvy IT worker find stuff anyways? How often does this kind of stuff happen, and what gets stolen or misused? How can consumers protect themselves? How are IT training and certification boards ensuring that this kind of stuff doesn’t happen? Or are too many IT personnel operating without much supervision? And what are the legal implications of tampering? If you give up your computer under a contract that says the service can wipe your hard disk clean, how can you stop them from stealing stuff before they purge it all? </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guests: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TBA</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">12:06 – 12:20</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">OPEN<o:p></o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">12:20 – 12:40</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Is your circle of friends a colorful kaleidoscope or monochrome?</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">A recent poll conducted by Reuters found that many Americans do not have friends of another race.

Al Jazeera America will have its first chance to rival CNN, MSNBC and Fox News on its own turf. The network has opened 12 bureaus around the country and is hiring more than 1,000 journalists. Its plan is to cover serious national news while also bringing an international perspective. Opinions seem to be divided over the news agency's parent company Al Jazeera. There is still bitterness toward Al Jazeera for providing an outlet for Osama bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks, a move which led some to derisively label the network "Jihad TV." Last month, 22 crew members of Al Jazeera Mubasher Misr in Egypt resigned over what they said was biased coverage. But as many Americans grow frustrated with the current network news options, is now the time for a newcomer? Does the US news media need a fresh voice like this to shake things up? Will you be watching Al Jazeera America?

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">MLB proposes broader use of instant replay:</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"> Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig had repeatedly shunned calls to expand the use of instant replay in baseball. But yesterday [THURSDAY], he pulled an about-face and announced new policy on the use of instant replay in the sport. Currently, instant replay is only used for home run calls. Next season, the technology will be used in virtually every play except the strike zone and managers will get three challenges every game. The proposal is expected to be formalized at a meeting of team owners in November. MLB has been reluctant to widen the use of instant replay drastically, but conceded after a couple of egregious botched calls during last year’s playoffs. Should instant replay be used so widely in baseball? Should we do away with umpires all together? Do you think instant replays and manager challenges will slow down an already pretty slow game? Or should technology be used even more, such as in the strike zone?</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">OPEN PHONES</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">+</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">(PENDING) Jayson Stark, </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Senior Baseball Writer for ESPN.com</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest:</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"> <b>Adam Felder, </b>manager of digital analytics at Atlantic Media Company.

There have been various attempts to ban the method of extracting oil and gas because of environmental concerns. The oil industry says the method is safe and not damaging to the environment. Should the state or federal government ban or heavily regulate offshore fracking? Are there separate environmental concerns for offshore versus onshore fracking?

bad. Christo and Sharlene Lassiter of Cincinnati certainly did, when they got hitched in 1986. 10 years later, however, they called it quits. 17-years later, their divorce-related battles are ongoing. The divorce between the two ex-spouses, who also happen to both be law professors, has been so acrimonious, that a judge recently rebuked the pair saying they make a mockery of the legal profession. Not all divorce cases are this extreme. But the very process of divorce is by nature, adversarial. So what options exist for couples who hope to split up more amicably? It’s called collaborative divorce and it’s a process that addresses the financial, emotional and legal aspects of divorce, all at once. It’s aimed at saving couples heartache, money and ugly court battles. How does collaborative divorce work?

funding for inspection was cut from the federal budget. The issue whether to restore funding to the inspection has divided animal rights groups and some Native American groups—at times driving a wedge between members of the same tribes. Proponents of feral horse slaughtering, including the Navajo Nation, say the itinerant animals cost the tribe hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and take away important natural resources from its land. Opponents say that there are ways to preserve the horses and killing them violates a cultural tradition and identity of Native Americans.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Erny Zah</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"> (pron: ZAH), director of communications for the President’s Office at the Navajo Nation</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TBD CON</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">11:40-12:00</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Do we praise our children too much?</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Deepa Fernandes</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">, KPCC’s Early Childhood Development Correspondent</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest:</span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"> TBA praise expert</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">12:06 – 12:20</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">OPEN</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TBA</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">12:20 – 12:40</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic:<b> </b></span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Does a jury of your peers have to be all English speakers? </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">A New Mexico Supreme Court ruling this week underscored the rights of non-English speakers to serve as jurors in the state's trials.

This, according to new research presented Tuesday at the American Sociological Association. Martin Monto, a sociology professor from the University of Portland, found “no evidence of substantial changes in sexual behavior that would support the proposition that there is a new or pervasive ‘hookup culture’ among contemporary college students.” But young adults do seem to be having sex with fewer strings attached to partners. The researchers looked at nationally representative data from the General Social Survey of 1,829 high school grads, ages 18-25, who had finished at least one year of college. They compared answers from 1988-1996 with those from 2002-2010 and found no major differences. These latest findings echo other, similar research. So is the hook-up culture just a myth? What’s really going on behind closed campus doors?</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">PENDING/DO NOT PROMOTE</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Martin A.

What’s more, one third of the nearly 5,000 respondents say they won’t even confront their partners about it. Is sexting without sex worse than cheating?

Experts all seem to think that children learn better with traditional activities like drawing or playing, but the reality is that it is getting harder and harder to ensure kids stay “screen free.” While it seems like an inevitability, how young is too young to expose a child to a device?

It was in response to news that Tyson Foods - a major meatpacker - quietly had sent letters to cattle feedlots indicating Tyson would no longer buy cows fed Zilmax. That's a supplement designed to bulk up cows before slaughter. Tyson cited the health of animals as reason for the change. They said experts have anecdotal evidence of cows becoming lame as a side effect of the growth-inducing drug. Such supplements are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. If market prices are up on the news, consumers can expect supermarket prices to rise, too. Industry watchers are calling this a game-changer. Some also question Tyson's true motivation. Is it because they're trying to gain access to foreign markets that ban growth hormones? Is the export market becoming more important than domestic shoppers for agriculture companies? Will other meatpackers follow suit? Will feedlots be forced to halt using Zilmax and similar drugs?</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Tom Talbot, </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Cattle producer and Veterinarian from Bishop, California; Member, Cattle Health and Well-Being Committee, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">BY PHONE<i><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></i></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TBD Critic of Zilmax </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Dennis Smith</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">, Livestock Industry Analyst, Archer Financial Services</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">BY PHONE<br> <br> <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">12:25ish – 12:40</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Kegger!

Robertson’s book is an insider’s story that gives a glimpse into the brand that has reinvented itself through designers, company leadership, and loyal fans. Did you play with LEGOs as a kid?

Distracted driving was the cause of 18 percent of all fatal crashes in 2010, according to the National Highway Safety Administration.

Measure J secured 64.72% of the vote, but needed 66.6%. State law requires local bond measures to have two-thirds of the vote, but some lawmakers want to change that. They argue city infrastructure is crumbling because tax-raising efforts are hamstrung by too high a threshold for voter support. One lawmaker in particular is rather passionate. Yesterday [WED], City Councilman Bob Blumenfield won support of L.A. City Council to support passage of ACA 8. The Sacramento bill was authored by Blumenfield during his time in the California State Legislature. If it passes the Senate, it would place a measure on the November 2014 ballot to reduce the threshold for passage of local infrastructure bond measures to 55%. Why is two-thirds the current standard for such measures? </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">REQUESTED</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">PRO Guest: Bob Blumenfield *or* Representative of Los Angeles Business Council</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">CON Guest: Representative of California Taxpayers Association *or* Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assoc.</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">11:30-12:00</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">NFL player caught yelling racial slur [TEMP HEAD]</span><o:p></o:p></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TBD<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">12:06 – 12:30</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Should states set education goals by race?

The state sets different reading and math standards for students from different minority groups. It wants 90 percent of Asian American students reading at grade level by 2018, 88 percent of whites, 81 percent of Hispanics and 74 percent of black students. In math, 92 percent of Asian American students are expected to perform at grade level, compared with 86 percent for whites, 80 percent for Hispanics and 74 percent for blacks. The goals were approved last October by the Florida Board of Education. Critics say by setting goals lower for black and Hispanic students the state is essentially telling these students that they are not as capable as whites and Asian Americans. Pam Stewart, Florida education commissioner, says standards must be established before achievement and learning gaps could be narrowed. This week, the Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County and the Southern Poverty Law Center filed a complaint against the goals with the U.S. Department of Justice. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest 1: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TBD</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest 2: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TBD</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"> </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">12:30 – 12:40</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic:</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"> <b>OPEN</b></span><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Guest: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">TBD<o:p></o:p></span></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></i></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">12:40 – 1:00</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Topic: </span></i><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Queens of Noise [TEMP HEAD]: </span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">The 70’s rock band The Runaways helped pave the way for female artists of today like Madonna and Lady Gaga.
