It ain’t braggin’ if you’ve done it!"
Jerry Foster at his Authors @the Teague book signing on Saturday, March 8, 2014.
The name Jerry Foster is a familiar name and face to those who lived in the Valley in the 1980s.Foster was one of the first pilots to regularly report the news, traffic and weather while also piloting a gyro plane or helicopter.His skills as a helicopter pilot allowed him to work closely with law enforcement with search-and-rescue missions.His involvement in several rescues made him part of the story, giving him lots of positive attention from viewers but also a lot of critics.
News ratings were good and management knew a ratings maker when they saw one.Traditional journalist saw a challenge to traditional news reporting.While the FAA did not care for Mr. Foster’s high-flying style and set out to ground him.Elementary school kids wanted him to visit their school, because he would land in his helicopter!
Pilots have their swagger and anyone who makes it to sixty and beyond knows it was not always easy and not without getting a few bumps and scraps along the way. Jerry Foster admitted he is a “hot dog”.In his memoir, “Earthbound Misfit: Jerry Foster”, with Dee Dees, he shares his story, bumps, scrapes and all.

Judging by the audience at Velma Teague on Saturday, he is loved and admired, still, by many. Some of the attendees saw Jerry when he came to their schools in the 80's!
“He just does things with a helicopter that a man in his right mind just wouldn't do.
But he does it so well he’s perfectly safe.”
Senator Barry Goldwater – 1988.

Paul Taylor quite literally changed the life experiences of deaf and hard of hearing people. Paul saw an opportunity to combine Western Union teletypewriters with modems to create the first telecommunications devices for the deaf, known as TDDs or TTYs. But he didn't stop there. He then helped to create a network of these devices, as well as using them to launch local telephone wake-up services for the deaf and the nation's first telephone relay system for the deaf, which he expanded to a statewide system. RIT was fortunate to welcome Paul as chair of the engineering support team at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf in 1975. He remained on our faculty for 30 years, continuing to innovate and advocate in telecommunications for the deaf.

Jim Irvine, Senior Staff Engineer, Intel and Ed Sharpe Archivist for SMECC hold
a wafer slice containing 80 of the Xeon Phi®, the New Intel 48 Core CPU”

The IEEE Computer Society chapter meeting was held on Wednesday, May 1^st, at the DeVry University, Phoenix Campus. located at 2149 W Dunlap Avenue, Phoenix.

The speaker for this meeting was Jim Irvine, Senior Staff Engineer, Intel. Jim’s presentation was “Introducing Xeon Phi®, the New Intel 48 Core CPU” Marking a new era in high-performance computing, Intel Corporation has introduced the Intel Xeon Phi® coprocessor to bring unprecedented performance for innovative breakthroughs in many areas of computing. The ability to quickly compute, simulate and make more informed decisions has propelled the growth of high performance computing (HPC) and analytics. The growth has been driven by global business and research priorities to more accurately predict weather patterns, create more efficient energy resources, and develop cures for diseases among many other pressing issues. With the breakthrough performance per watt and other new attributes of the Intel Xeon Phi® coprocessor, Intel and the industry will help proliferate high-performance computing beyond laboratories and universities and achieve maximum productivity.

Jim Irvine joined Intel in 1990 and has held a variety technical roles within Desktop and Server engineering. He led the design team for Intel's conversion from wire bond to C4 technology and architected the current Intel(r) Xeon Phi® coprocessor package. He currently leads the next generation Intel Many Integrated Core product Platform Architecture Execution Board.

KTLA’s Sam Rubin Remembers TV News Innovator John Silva: Video

Comments (0) John Silva, who for nearly 25 years was KTLA-Los Angeles‘ chief engineer, died Wednesday night at age 92. Sam Rubin today on KTLA Morning News offered up a touching remembrance of Silva, a former Navy radar operator who was responsible for such innovations as the news helicopter (first introduced in 1958, Silva called it the “telecopter”), live news trucks and mountaintop antennas. He also engineered the first live Rose Parade broadcast. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that every television station in the world uses some form of one of John Silva’s ideas”, Rubin says. Here’s the segment, complete with great old footage (beware the autoplay):

Air Force Museum to display Cold War satellites

{EXCERPT} WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE Newly declassified satellites that the United States... Full Report:http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/air-force-museum-to-display-cold-war-satellites-1296819.html

Almost 1,500 days after AzCMF filed its application for a construction application for a new full power FM station, on October 18, the FCC ruled in favor of AzCMF and Radio Phoenix on every point of objection that was raised by American Educational Broadcasting (AEB). Essentially, AEB was complaining the the FCC dismissed its application and let ours proceed. Peter Doyle, chief of the Media Bureau, sent aletter to AEB in which he found that it had failed to follow FCC procedures, had failed to properly appeal the dismissal of the AEB application which had been filed on top of our application, and finally, noted that even if AEB had done everything in a correct fashion, that it still would have been out because after two attempts, it could not correct its faulty engineering.

AEB is an affiliate of Educational Media Foundation, the largest religious broadcaster in the United States. EMF has an annual income of $88 million a year. The legal staff at AzCMF took on this Goliath and beat it back. The ruling from the FCC opens the door to the issuance of a construction permit by the FCC, which will allow us to begin fundraising and planning for a full power FM station.

AEB and EMF still have many appeals they can file to continue to block AzCMF from going on the air. However, the issuance of this letter dismissing their claims is a major step forward in bringing real community radio to Greater Phoenix.MORE

Progress Reports

A look back at Ronald Reagan's speech to GE execs at the dawn of the computer age

On May 2, 1961, Ronald Reagan delivered a memorable speech at the GE computer department’s “Frontiers of Progress” sales meeting in Apache Junction, Arizona. His eloquent words about computing and GE’s role in the industry’s brief history came at an optimistic time in America and at the dawn of the automation age.Less than a decade later, (In 1970) GE would sell its computer division to Honeywell for $200 million. Still, the 1950’s and 1960’ was an exciting era of innovation in the nascent world of computer technology, and Reagan’s speech personified that excitement and sense of promise. for rest of article.........
