  1. That is correct. Robert Osborne even pointed it out that despite the fact Donald Sutherland always gave good performances, the Academy never even gave him a nod. Cotten was always great too, and was vastly underrated. And it goes without saying Eddie G. was the man, and Glenn was good, too.

     

    Your turn.

  3. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), along with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), will conduct the first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System, or EAS, will take place at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on November 9, 2011. The purpose of the test is to assess the reliability and effectiveness of the system in alerting the public. EAS alerts are transmitted over television and radio broadcast, satellite television and satellite radio, cable television and wireline video services. The test will involve only those communications service providers – broadcast radio and television, cable television, satellite radio and television and wireline video services – that participate in the EAS. In order to minimize disruption and confusion during the EAS test, it is being conducted on November 9 because this date is near the end of hurricane season and before the severe winter weather season begins. The 2 p.m. EST broadcast will minimize disruption during rush hours while ensuring that the test occurs during working hours across the country. One source I found says it will last 30 seconds, another says 3 minutes. During the test, the public will hear a message indicating “this is a test”. The audio message will be the same for everyone, however due to limitations of the EAS, the video test message may not be the same and may not indicate “this is a test”. This is due to the use of a “live” national code – the same code that would be used in an actual emergency. Also, the background image that appears on video screens may indicate “this is a test” but in some cases there may be no image at all.

     

    I thought most of us would want to be aware of this, especially those who may be taping at that time.
