PLEASE NOTE: I divided my uploads between multiple channels, Bookmark this link in your browser for instant access to an index with links to all of John1948’s oldies classics. LINK: tinyurl.com In the music industry, arguably the worst tragedy that can befall an artist is to die in their prime, when he or she is just beginning to break through to the mainstream and reach people on a national level. One such artist was Jim Croce, a songwriter with a knack for both upbeat, catchy singles and empathetic, melancholy ballads. Though Croce only recorded a few studio albums before an untimely plane crash, he continues to be remembered posthumously. Croce appealed to fans as a common man, and it was not a gimmick — he was a father and husband who went through a series of blue-collar jobs. And whether he used dry wit, gentle emotions, or sorrow, Croce sang with a rare form of honesty and power. Few artists have ever been able to pull off such down-to-earth storytelling as convincingly as he was. James Croce was born in Philadelphia, PA, on January 10, 1943. Raised onragtime and country, Croce played the accordion as a child and would eventually teach himself the guitar. It wasn’t until his freshman year of college that he began to take music seriously, forming several bands over the next few years. After graduation, he continued to play various gigs at local bars and parties, working as both a teacher and construction worker to support himself and his wife, Ingrid. In 1969, the …

How To Destabalize Countries Legally .Economic Hitman Part 4
what happened with Omar Torrijos. JOHN PERKINS: Well, Omar, again, was very stalwartly standing up to the United States, demanding that the Panama Canal should be owned by Panamanians. And I spent a lot of time with Torrijos, and I liked him very, very much as an individual. He was extremely charismatic, extremely courageous and very nationalistic about wanting to get the best for his people. And I couldn’t corrupt him. I tried everything I could possibly do to bring him around. And as I was failing, I was also very concerned that something would happen to him. And sure enough—it was interesting that Jaime Roldos’s plane crashed in May, and Torrijos said—got his family together and said, “I’m probably next, but I’m ready to go. We’ve now got the Canal turned over.” He had signed a treaty with Jimmy Carter to get the Canal in Panamanian hands. He said, “I’ve accomplished my job, and I’m ready to go now.” And he had a dream about being in a plane that hit a mountain. And within two months after it happened to Roldos, it happened to Torrijos also. AMY GOODMAN: And you met with both these men? JOHN PERKINS: Yes, I’d met with both of them. AMY GOODMAN: What were your conversations like? JOHN PERKINS: Well, especially with Torrijos, I spent a lot of time with him in some formal meetings and also at cocktail parties and barbecues—he was big on things like that—and was constantly trying to get him to come around to our side and letting him know that if he did, he and his family …

The Wall (1962) / Berlin Wall Documentary Film Video
The Wall (1962) / Berlin Wall Documentary Film Video. Creative Commons license: Public Domain. Government film about the erection of the Berlin Wall. From the holdings of the National Archives.Sponsor: United States Information Agency. The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer) was a physical barrier separating West Berlin from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) (East Germany), including East Berlin. The longer inner German border demarcated the border between East and West Germany. Both borders came to symbolize the Iron Curtain between Western and Eastern Europe and, ultimately, between USA and the Soviet Union. The wall separated East Germany from West Germany for more than a quarter-century, from the day construction began on August 13, 1961 until the Wall was opened on November 9, 1989. During this period, at least 136 people were confirmed killed trying to cross the Wall into West Berlin, according to official figures. However, a prominent victims’ group claims that more than 200 people were killed trying to flee from East to West Berlin. The East German government issued shooting orders to border guards dealing with defectors; such orders are not the same as shoot to kill orders which GDR officials denied ever issuing. When the East German government announced on November 9, 1989, after several weeks of civil unrest, that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin, crowds of East Germans climbed onto and crossed the wall, joined by West Germans on …

San Francisco Giants: Baseball, Technology, and Dynamic Pricing
Google Tech Talks March 24, 2009 ABSTRACT Technology plays a role in baseball from the game on the field to the business and team operations in the front office. Find out how the San Francisco Giants use technology in game-related functions and business areas. Hear about the Giants plans to experiment with dynamic pricing during 2009. The Giants are trying something new with ticket sales in a few tough-to-sell upper-deck outfield sections of AT Park for 2009: cost based on demand. “We’re going to experiment with this a little bit in a few sections of the park,” team President Larry Baer said. “What this really is, is the ticket business is changing dramatically and quickly. There’s a chance we might wake up 10 years from now and tickets will be priced according to demand, like the airlines. We’ll see how it works and how the fans like it. This would be a first. We have innovative people in our ticket office.” sports.espn.go.com www.sportsbusinessjournal.com Speaker: Larry Baer A fourth generation San Franciscan with impeccable credentials in the world of sports management, television, film and politics, Larry Baer has gained a national reputation as one of professional sports’ leading visionaries. A limited partner of the Giants’ ownership group who served as executive vice president of the team since December 1992, the 50-year-old Baer was named chief operating officer of the franchise in May 1996. In that same year, he was named president of the China Basin Ballpark …
