Does Net Neutrality Loss = The New Ghetto
As a growing small media company owner, some of you know of my involvement in lobbying for Net Neutrality, which is the continued absence of regulation in regards to the Open Internet and something everyone should agree on and embrace. This critical issue will be decided, as called by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski yesterday. In the grand scheme of things, this affects all of us so today I’m encouraging all of you to learn about and support Net Neutrality and to encourage the FCC Board, located below, to vote against a Tier System on the Open Internet on December 21, 2010.

Dallas Symphony Orchestra League
The DSOL City Living Tour beginning this Friday will feature 5 high-rise residences which were decked out by 22 registered designers. Open to the public through November 7th, The House was designed by Phillipe Starck and yoo.
One of the teams, *Kathy Adcock-Smith along with her design partner Linda Fritschy created a masterful Living/Dining/Kitchen known as the Grand Salon, in the compact unit 1804 (see below). Despite the clean slate, the unit came with a “glaring design challenge” according to Adcock-Smith. ““A Big Fat Column” which commands a sizable corner of the space and intrudes on the dining area and circulation to the master suite.” They masterfully disguised the column making it useful for guests to now comfortably enjoy the view that sweeps from the Winspear over to the new Margaret Hunt Hill bridge.

Can NPR Survive? Not as we know it and that's a good thing...
Let’s face it, million dollar business deals with television stations don’t happen overnight so why is anyone surprised the comment made by Juan Williams on NPR, to the overnight contract with FOX, was probably a well executed plan between Fox and Williams. Hey that’s business, right? Is NPR the unwitting fall guy? Sure, but that wasn’t hard.
For a long time, they haven’t been rational in how they operate in the reality of cable television, internet radio and new media? And let’s face it, they fell from their mission more than a decade ago. Can it be saved? “You betcha”! But they will have to accept only parts of it will survive assuming they put the National back in National Public Radio. If they do, we need to get behind and make sure 110% of its funding comes from private funding rather than 98% so we don’t risk losing it and the television component, well…it needs to be retired.

Bikini Protest at Dallas City Hall
In an effort to draw attention to the proposed city budget cuts for Swimming Pools and other quality of life amenities in Urban Dallas, organizers encourage students and young families to join them in swimwear at the fountain in front of City Hall on Wednesday, August 18th from Noon to 1 pm.
Organizer John Fullinwider, feels the city is going too far in restricting access to swimming pools in low-income neighborhoods where many pools have already been closed. At issue are 7 additional pools that are proposed to be cut from the budget. The other 14 locations or 2/3’s of our pools have already been closed permanently according to the City of Dallas website.
If arguably, families are not taking advantage of pool use during the day like they do at other neighborhood pools such as Tietze Park in the M-Streets where there are more stay at home Parents or Parents who work out of their home; maybe it’s time we look at how we operate our pools rather than closing them for lack of use and forcing families to send their kids on a bus to take advantage of popular municipal pools like Tietze.
