PSA: if you want to watch any UConn games this season please read below:

Couple options to watch:

TOMORROWS GAME VS BOSTON COLLEGE IS ON SNY.

1. If you don’t have cable (i.e. you pay for live tv) at all you are most likely out of luck, unfortunately to watch women’s sports it almost always requires a subscription of some sort at least for regular season/non-primetime games.

- You will need a tv provider that offers fox sports: these inside Sling TV, Hulu + Live Tv, DirectTV stream, or fubo.

- Check them out as most of them offer a free trial or heavy discounts for your first month, but make sure you cancel before it’s up if you don’t want to pay!

- my parents are old and have cable so I’m leaching off of their directTV account LMAO

- Most of the games will be on a regional sports network called SNY. Some of the bigger matchups will be on ESPN channels, FOX main channels, CBS and ABC. The Bahamas games are on an app called flohoops. I will post about how to use these in later weeks!

2. If you live inside SNY’s regional territory (NY, CT, parts of NJ, and PA) AND have SNY as a channel through your TV provider all you have to do is go to that channel when the games start. SN: you may need to add a sports package to your plan if you can’t access it.

3. If you are like me and DO NOT live in SNY’s regional territory BUT you do have some form of cable this is what you need to do

- download the fox sports app onto your device (can be a mobile phone or an iPad) and log in with your tv provider

- you should be able to access the games and then you can stream to your smart tv!

- you can get the fox sports app on your tv but it’s very slow so I’d recommend not doing that!

Culture War Of The Worlds Department:

Which is scarier? Ignorance or intelligence?

CONDESCENSION OF THE STARLINGS © 2023 by Rick Hutchins

When the aliens arrived in their enormous interstellar worldship, sending their delegates down to each and every sovereign nation on Earth, all governments decided in their own fashion who would be among those who would meet with them. Here in the United States, the President made the decision (despite the opinion of both houses of congress that there should be a vote); and, in my opinion, she chose wisely. Besides herself and the Vice President, she selected the Speaker of the House, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense and the Administrator of NASA. She allowed each of these officials two assistants.

Hundreds of elected officials, including the governors of all fifty-one states, voiced strenuous objections. Tens of thousands of others voiced objections of varying degrees of credibility.

In the end, of course, we learned that the aliens had pre chosen the representatives of each nation with whom they wished to meet.

(And, yes, I’m well aware of the controversy over calling them “aliens,” and the preference for terms like “visitors,” “E.T.s” or “starlings.” Among the common people– those who are generally unaware that dinosaurs did not coexist with early man or that Mars shares our sun– the word “alien” conjures up connotations of either illegal immigrants from Mexico or bug-eyed monsters from old drive-in movies. The hell with them. In my blog, I call them “space aliens,” just to rub it in.)

At the time, of course, I had no official connection to the government or the current administration, although my status as former Speaker helped drive the popularity of my blog and my influence of popular opinion, deserved or not. I agreed with the president’s appointments, even if I hadn’t voted for her– but I did not object in the slightest when the aliens invited me to the First Contact Retreat.

Despite press releases to the contrary, the Retreat was not held at Camp David– I don’t know if that has ever been officially confirmed, but I’m confirming it now. The unmarked Navy jet took me to an undisclosed location somewhere in the Midwest. I’m pretty sure it was Southwestern Nebraska. And the aliens never told me beforehand why I was chosen. I was certainly not the only (or most prominent) pundit expressing reservations or suspicions about the motivations of the space aliens; the networks and cable news channels all had high-profile naysayers on their payroll. I thought at the time that it was my lack of corporate ties that attracted them, but the truth is that I had no idea.

The aliens call their planet Minwhanimoh and the alien who met with us was named Draadimuhhmwuh. Their vocal abilities are more limited than ours, so their words have a tendency toward a lot of syllables; you can distinguish their personal names by the long, drawn-out vowels. Meeting one of them in person was the most surreal experience of my life. They are tall and bipedal. Two arms, two legs, one head and a face with two eyes, a nose and a mouth; yet the spacing and proportion of the features, the length of the bones and articulation of the joints added up to a being that was subtly and startlingly unearthly.

While the aliens aren’t much for standing on protocol, Draadimuhhmwuh condescended to allow the president to speak first. She made a benign and inoffensive statement, no doubt generated by standard speech composition software, and then answered his questions with carefully crafted replies rehearsed during her pre-meeting coaching sessions. When he was done with her, Draad (for short) spoke to a librarian from Wichita and a Jesuit priest from Boston. Then he came to me.

“Good morning, Ms. Washington,” he said, in that kind of tight-lipped way that they speak. “It’s a pleasure to meet you in person. I’ve read all of your essays and books.”

“Good morning, Mr. Draadimuhhmwuh,” I replied. “I’m flattered.”

“I’d like to speak to you about your concerns regarding our visit to your planet and our desire for cultural exchange.”

Human and alien body language are in no way similar, but for the sake of my terrestrial colleagues I maintained a confident pose. “If you’ve read my essays, you should be well aware of my views,” I replied. “You are obviously more scientifically and technologically advanced than we are. You claim to be more intelligent on a biological level, and therefore more artistically and culturally sophisticated. You come to this world telling us you want to help us. When a more advanced culture encounters a more primitive culture, claiming to offer aid, it always leads to slavery and oppression. The upper classes always view the lower classes with contempt.”

“You believe that we look upon you with contempt?” he asked a bit sadly.

“Yes, I do.”

“Tell me about your sister, Ms. Robinson.”

A chill ran down my spine. “What do you know about my sister? What do you want with her?”

“I want nothing. I merely ask after her health.”

“She’s fine. Very healthy.”

“But she has a medical condition, does she not?”

“Yes,” I replied carefully, wondering how he was planning to use Jazmin against me. “She has Down’s Syndrome. But she’s in good health.”

“This syndrome leaves her intellectually limited. She has the mind of a child in an adult body. Is this correct?”

“Yes.”

“How do you feel about her, Ms. Robinson? Do you view her with contempt?”

“Of course not!”

“No, indeed, of course not. I have read your essays, Ms. Robinson, not only those about my people, but also those you have written about your sister. You love her very much. In fact, your love for her is only deepened by her limitations, as are your feelings of obligation and protectiveness. This is something I have learned that your people have in common with mine. Humans are, for the most part, given to affection for the smallest among you.”

Our conversation continued, but that was the moment of epiphany for me. The moment that everything changed. I knew then that the Starlings had our best interests at heart– they didn’t hate us for our smallness, they loved us for what we are and what we want to be. I took that message back to my followers in the blogosphere. From there, I took it on the road to local guest appearances around the country, to television interviews and debates, to guest editorials and podcasts.

And the people got the message. And that, ultimately, is why the aliens returned to their homes amongst the stars, taking all their knowledge and artistry and wonderment with them. As in so many works of fiction, the invaders came and were oh-so-righteously defeated. But they weren’t killed off by the common cold or vanquished by a computer virus or driven away through wit and ingenuity. They simply left because they weren’t wanted.

Because the one thing that the common people can never tolerate is intellectual elitism.

For the Good of the Country, It's Time for Some Pundits to Retire

Why calls for Biden to step down now from pundits are counter-productive.

Ron Filipkowski MeidasTouch Network

The political punditry class, largely ensconced in their New York City and DC enclaves, continues to demonstrate that they are out of step with the issues that concern most Americans. 

Many of them have been at it for decades. 

While experience and expertise is often valuable, so is the ability to understand the mood and concerns of different segments of the population. Rural, suburban and urban. Black, white, hispanic, asian, and the kaleidoscope of places of ethic origin that make up the most diverse nation on the planet. Gen Z, millennials, Gen X. Too often, Boomers in the wealthy, urban northeast simply fail to understand what concerns, troubles, and motivates people in the rest of the country.

Some in the elite pundit class have distant roots outside the places they have inhabited for the past several decades. But their reference points to those places stretch back to the 1970s and 80s, and the people they grew up with have either moved away like they have, or their current views passed onto the punditry class consist of a random text from a geriatric uncle or a conversation at a 50th high school reunion. 

Assessments on the tenor of the country derived from anecdotes used by the out of touch. Not useful.

The reason why I stopped watching cable news last year is because I found that I was being subjected to the opinions of the same people day after day, month after month. I watched many of these very same people when I was a political junkie in high school and college in the 1980s and 90s. They are still there, and still in Boston, NYC, and DC, while I have lived in urban, suburban and rural areas in the northeast, west coast, and deep south. 

We also have to consider the wretched performance of Donald Trump. While he certainly had more energy and vigor during the debate, he also spewed a firehose of lies, racism, and hate. He failed to answer one policy question after another. His response about climate change was to talk about hordes of mentally ill migrant criminals living amongst us. His response to every policy question was to either conjure up images of future migrant terrorist attacks or to talk about his golf game. The frustrating part was that the debate format did not permit live fact-checking from moderators, and Biden was largely incapable of doing it himself.

Did Biden fail to capitalize on Trump's psychosis, lack of knowledge about policy, and serial lies? Yes, he did. And he was rightly criticized for that. But there has been almost no reporting on the fact that Trump also failed to garner any new votes from Biden's failures because his performance only reinforced concerns those same voters have about him. 

But that story is not being told by the pundit class.

So what is the point of the 11th hour calls from the punditry class to attempt to influence a president to step down using their very public platforms? While it may not be their intent, the point is that it will only divide, dishearten, and alienate activists and donors who badly need to rally around their candidate right now. When Donald Trump was indicted and later convicted, his supporters and right-wing media circled the wagons and backed their guy stronger than ever. As reprehensible as that was given the cause, from the perspective of winning an election it was smart strategy. 

What the pundit class is doing right now is not smart strategy.

So I end where I began. It is time for many of these elitist, urban northeastern dinosaurs to retire. Or take a sabbatical to spend a few months in diners and shops on Route 66. 

Or just realize that your role in American society isn't to replace a president, no matter how much you wish you had that kind of influence."

The Evolution of Major League Broadcasting: From Radio Waves to Digital Age Glory

In the world of sports, broadcasting has always played a pivotal role in connecting fans with their favorite teams and athletes. Nowhere is this more evident than in Major League Baseball (MLB), where the evolution of broadcasting has mirrored technological advancements and changing fan preferences. From the crackling radio waves of yesteryear to the high-definition streams of today, MLB broadcasting has transformed significantly over the decades. This article explores this evolution, highlighting key technological milestones, broadcasting legends, and the future of baseball broadcasting in the digital age 메이저리그중계.

The Early Days: Radio and the Golden Age of Baseball

Baseball and radio have been inseparable since the early 20th century. In the 1920s, the first baseball games were broadcast on radio, allowing fans to follow the action from their living rooms. These broadcasts became immensely popular, with legendary broadcasters like Red Barber and Vin Scully becoming household names. Their vivid descriptions painted pictures in the minds of listeners, capturing the drama and excitement of the game.

Radio broadcasts became a lifeline for fans during World War II when many could not attend games in person. It was during this era that the phrase "the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd" entered the lexicon, as radio brought the ballpark atmosphere into homes across America.

Television and the Rise of Visual Broadcasting

The advent of television in the 1950s changed the landscape of baseball broadcasting forever. Suddenly, fans could see the players in action, watch the flight of the ball, and witness the emotion on the field. The first televised MLB game was on August 26, 1939, and television quickly became the dominant medium for sports broadcasting.

In the 1960s and 1970s, networks like NBC and ABC began broadcasting games nationally, further increasing the popularity of the sport. The 1975 World Series between the Boston Red Sox and Cincinnati Reds, famously known for Carlton Fisk's game-winning home run in Game 6, drew millions of viewers and cemented baseball's place in the television landscape.

Cable and Satellite: The Expansion of Viewing Options

The 1980s brought about the rise of cable and satellite television, which allowed for even more baseball coverage. Regional sports networks like YES Network and NESN began broadcasting games of local teams, catering to fans who couldn't attend games in person. This era also saw the birth of 24-hour sports networks like ESPN, which featured highlights, analysis, and live broadcasts of games from across the league.

The availability of cable and satellite TV made it easier for fans to follow their favorite teams and players, regardless of where they lived. This era also marked the beginning of contract disputes between networks and cable providers, as the demand for sports programming continued to grow.

The Internet and Streaming: Baseball in the Digital Age

The 21st century has brought about a revolution in how fans consume baseball content. The internet and streaming services have made it possible for fans to watch games on their computers, tablets, and smartphones. MLB.tv, launched in 2002, allows fans to stream games live or on-demand, giving them unprecedented access to their favorite teams.

Social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook have also become important tools for MLB broadcasting, allowing fans to interact with each other and share highlights in real-time. Major League Baseball has embraced these platforms, posting highlights and behind-the-scenes content to engage fans and attract new viewers.

The Future of MLB Broadcasting: Virtual Reality and Beyond

As technology continues to evolve, so too will baseball broadcasting. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have the potential to transform the fan experience, allowing viewers to feel like they're sitting in the ballpark from the comfort of their own homes. MLB has already experimented with VR broadcasts, and it's only a matter of time before this technology becomes more widely available.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are also expected to play a role in the future of MLB broadcasting. These technologies can be used to personalize the viewing experience, providing fans with customized highlights and analysis based on their preferences.

Broadcasting Legends: The Voices of Baseball

Throughout the history of MLB broadcasting, there have been many legendary voices that have brought the game to life for millions of fans. Vin Scully, known for his poetic style and encyclopedic knowledge of the game, called Dodgers games for 67 years before retiring in 2016. Harry Caray, with his trademark enthusiasm and love for the game, became a beloved figure during his time with the Chicago Cubs and later the St. Louis Cardinals.

Today, broadcasters like Joe Buck and Bob Costas continue to carry on the tradition of excellence in baseball broadcasting, bringing their own unique styles and perspectives to the game.

Challenges and Opportunities in Modern Broadcasting

While the digital age has brought about many opportunities for MLB broadcasting, it has also presented its fair share of challenges. Piracy and illegal streaming continue to be a concern for rights holders, as fans look for ways to watch games without paying for access. MLB and its broadcasting partners are working to combat these issues, but it remains a constant battle.

At the same time, the global reach of the internet has opened up new markets for baseball, allowing the sport to attract fans from around the world. MLB has made efforts to expand its international presence, with games being played in countries like Japan and Mexico.

Conclusion: The Enduring Appeal of MLB Broadcasting

The history of MLB broadcasting is a story of innovation, from the early days of radio to the digital age of streaming. The evolution of technology has transformed the way fans experience the game, bringing them closer to the action than ever before. As we look to the future, one thing is certain: baseball broadcasting will continue to evolve, providing fans with new and exciting ways to connect with their favorite teams and players.

“Pathways to Invention” documentary debuts on PBS, streaming

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/pathways-to-invention-documentary-debuts-on-pbs-streaming/

“Pathways to Invention” documentary debuts on PBS, streaming

The Lemelson-MIT Program has announced the national debut of an award-winning documentary that celebrates invention: American Public Television (APT) presents “Pathways to Invention,” a film that follows modern inventors of diverse backgrounds as they develop life-changing innovations.

Produced by Maaia Mark Productions in association with the Lemelson-MIT Program with funding from The Lemelson Foundation, MIT’s School of Engineering, and the University of California at Berkeley, the 60-minute special explores whether inventors are born or made through a series of engaging, up-close profiles while examining the tangible impact they’re making across a variety of disciplines including biotech, medical diagnostics and prosthetics, sustainable agriculture, food production, software development, and materials science. The inventors featured in the documentary are all recipients of the Lemelson-MIT Student Prize. The program premieres this month on PBS stations nationwide, available for streaming in the PBS app and on PBS.org as well as on WORLD. The film will also air on WGBH 44 Boston on July 7 and 19. A companion website with related learning resources for all ages launched May 1. 

“Pathways to Invention” explores the lives of 12 inventors overcoming obstacles to achieve success in cities across the country. Each shares an insightful perspective inspiring audiences to discover their own pathways to realizing their goals.

Journeying through the workshops, garages, laboratories, and offices of these entrepreneurs, the film considers what it really means to take “leaps of faith” as the accomplished innovators present a realistic approach of persevering through overwhelming odds and obstacles, taking risks, and inevitably experiencing failures before achieving success and discovering that the essence of invention is collaboration and lifelong learning.

“We all have the power in our minds and hands to shape the world,” says Levi C. Maaia, the film’s director, a former high school educator, and co-founder of Maaia Mark Productions with Noah Mark, a veteran showrunner and executive producer who has produced numerous series for a who’s who of major broadcast/cable networks and video streaming platforms. “The goal of ‘Pathways to Invention’ is to inspire others to think about new ways they can create solutions to benefit their own lives and humanity at large.”

Together, Maaia and Mark have collected more than a dozen awards for the film. At the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival Awards in summer 2022, it was recognized as the season’s best documentary feature, Mark and Maaia as best producers, Maaia as best director of a documentary feature, and composers Michael Mark and Jon Cobert for best original musical score.

The film seamlessly weaves together the distinctive paths of each inventor working to achieve similarly meaningful results. They include:

David Moinina Sengeh SM ’12, PhD ’16, chief innovation officer and minister of basic and senior secondary education for the government of Sierra Leone, who witnessed those around him struggle with ill-fitting prosthetics that were too uncomfortable to wear, and designed next-generation wearable mechanical interfaces that improve comfort for amputees.

Nicole Black, a materials scientist whose experience growing up as a little girl grappling with hearing loss due to a perforated eardrum led to the groundbreaking formulation of a 3D-printed material — a near-perfect scaffold for the regrowth of human eardrum tissue.

Paige Balcom, a Fulbright Scholar visiting Uganda who was inspired to develop a small-scale community recycling process in Gulu employing street-connected, at-risk youth. This supposedly “impossible” initiative was the genesis of Takataka Plastics, where Paige now serves as co-founder and is currently working to expand to five towns across Uganda, and eventually scale to other developing countries.

Geoff von Maltzahn ’03, PhD ’10, who, after becoming hyper-focused during college with the programmability of living things at a microscopic level, has raised hundreds of millions of dollars to fund groundbreaking biotech and life sciences research. Through the management of microbes and the DNA programming of organisms big and small, von Maltzahn and his colleagues are focused on eliminating plant pesticides, creating drought-tolerant crops, sequestering carbon, and eliminating disease.

Championing the idea that most inventors do not emulate the storied life of Thomas Edison or follow the financial trajectory of Elon Musk, “Pathways to Invention” brings a relatable aspect to the journeys of each inventor.

Stephanie Couch, executive director of The Lemelson-MIT Program, states that “the key takeaway we’d like for viewers to keep in mind is that it’s never too late — or too early — to get on the pathway to invention. We are all aware of problems in our daily lives and we have what it takes to become collaborative problem-solvers and invent solutions that can make the world a better place.”

“We all are born curious; we all like to study the world. We like to understand it. That’s the innate curiosity that we all have, and sometimes it’s the environmental factors that drive it out of us,” says Josh Siegel, an assistant professor at Michigan State University and inventor whose work focuses on designing platforms for collecting and analyzing vehicle data. “Inventing has taught me to be persistent; inventing has taught me to be creative; inventing has taught me to trust myself as I have never trusted myself before. It’s OK to be imperfect, so long as you’re better than you were. We can invent things, we can invent products, we can invent services. We can create new capabilities; we can create new knowledge. But at the end of the day, what we’re really doing is reinventing ourselves.”

InfoWest Acquires SunRiver Fiber Assets

After SunRiver Fiber Network, formerly run by Cable Systems of Nevada, was successfully acquired, InfoWest Inc., a majority-owned subsidiary of Boston Omaha Corporation (NYSE: BOC), now owns the majority of its assets. This deal significantly increases InfoWest's current fiber footprint in St. George, Utah, and includes all fiber internet assets and subscriber agreements for internet and Voice over IP (VoIP) services.
