Dodger Voice Vin Scully Retires -
end of an
eraBy Gary
Sunkin
Fans send Vin Scully off with a
teary good-bye and a key to the
city by LA mayor Eric Garcetti
- "It's time for Dodger
baseball! Hi, everybody, and a
very pleasant good
(afternoon/evening) to you,
wherever you may be." Scully's
signature introduction to Dodger
games.
••••
After 67 years as the
radio and tv voice of the
Dodgers, Vin Scully retires.
• He
preferred to not stand under much
of a spotlight in this final
season-
so his farewell tour came to him.
It has long been a tradition that
umpires, before the first game of
every series at Dodger Stadium,
look up at the booth and
uniformly salute Scully. But this
season, both players and umpires,
sometimes in uniform, have taken
elevator rides to the fifth floor
to visit his booth to simply say
thank you.
••••
Scully
stories? -- there are many.
Writer
Bill Plaschke remembers his
Scully stories began when he was
a young reporter covering the
Dodgers for the LA Times in the
late 1980s. "I would sneak a
radio to my place in the Dodger
Stadium press box and stick
headphones into my ears and
listen to him broadcast the final
three innings. I was typing so
furiously under deadline pressure
I couldn't really watch the
games, so Scully watched them for
me, and taught me baseball in the
process."
••••
Vincent
Edward "Vin" Scully was born
November 29, 1927 in The Bronx
and grew up in the Washington
Heights section of Manhattan
••••
Scully
discovered his love of baseball
at age 8, when he saw the results
of the 2nd game of the 1936 World
Series at a laundromat and felt a
pang of sympathy for the badly
defeated New York Giants. Since
he lived near the Polo Grounds
and was able to attend many games
for free, he became a "very big
Giants fan." Scully decided at
eight years old that he wanted to
become a sports announcer, when
he became fascinated with the
football broadcasts on the
radio
••••
In
1950, Scully joined Red Barber
and Connie Desmond in the
Brooklyn Dodgers radio and
television booths. When Barber
got into a salary dispute with
World Series sponsor Gillette in
1953, Scully took Barber's spot
for the 1953 World Series.
••••
At
the age of 25, Scully became the
youngest
person to
broadcast a World Series game (a
record that stands to this day).
Barber left the Dodgers after the
1953 season to work for the New
York Yankees. Scully eventually
became the Dodgers' principal
announcer and announced Dodgers
games in Brooklyn until 1957
••••
In 1955
Scully announced Brooklyn's first
world championship
-- "Ladies and gentleman,
the Brooklyn Dodgers are the
champions of the world.'' Later
Scully accompanied the Dodgers to
their new location in Southern
California beginning with the
1958 season, and quickly became
popular.
•••••Vin
Scully has been with the dodgers
for 67 years since its days
in Brooklyn, retiring as the
radio and television voice of the
Dodgers, and greatest announcer
in the history of broadcasting.
Recently, Scully called most
Dodger home games (and selected
road games) on SportsNet LA
television and KLAC radio.
••••During
the last three years, a greedy
stalemate has kept the Dodgers
off television in more than half
of Los Angeles-area homes,
costing fans a chance to say
good-bye to Scully until a deal
was struck that KTLA would
broadcast the team's
final six regular-season
games. Through it all,
Scully has openly acknowledged
sadness but refused to show anger
or place blame, and fans have not
complained about his lack of
intervention. They want him to be
neutral. They love him for who he
is.

106-FCC's
Proposal on Set-Top Boxes up for
Vote, Sept.
29 • Hardware
costs are down yet fees still
seem to climb. The
FCC is trying to make it
easier and cheaper for you to
watch TV. But the plan to unleash
pay TV service from the set-top
box that has been its delivery
mechanism for decades has
powerful opponents -- notably,
the Big Cable lobby.
••••
The
head of the
U.S.
Federal Communications Commission
said he might change his proposal
to allow tens of millions of U.S.
pay TV subscribers to ditch
costly set-top boxes and access
video programming online.
••••
Last week,
FCC chairman Tom Wheeler unveiled
a proposal that would require
MVPDs (Comcast, DirecTV, etc.) to
offer their subscribers an app
that would allow them to access
the full suite of programming
they pay for, without the need
for a set-top box.
••••Cable
companies have previously
expressed concerns that rivals
like Alphabet googl and Apple
could create devices or apps and
insert their own content or
advertising in cable
programming.
•••The
new rules would require companies
covering 95% of U.S. TV
subscribers to comply by
September 2018.

Osgood leaves "Sunday
Morning"
Charles Osgood,
who has made the CBS show "Sunday
Morning" a weekly ritual for many
viewers, will be leaving at the
end of September after 22 years
as the program's anchor.
•••News
of his departure comes after
months of speculation. On Sunday
Aug. 28, Mr. Osgood, who is 83,
used a part of the "Sunday
Morning" broadcast to tell his
viewers that the rumors were
true.
•••"For
years now, people, even friends
and family, have been asking me
why I keep doing this,
considering my age," Mr. Osgood
said. "I am pushing 84. It's just
that it's been a joy doing
it."
•••He
added: "It's been a great run,
but after nearly 50 years at CBS,
including the last 22 years here
on 'Sunday Morning,' the time has
come, and a date is set for me to
do my farewell 'Sunday Morning.'"
The farewell broadcast will be on
Sept. 25.
••He
took over "Sunday Morning" from
Charles Kuralt in 1994. His
comforting, almost folksy
approach to the news (and
trademark bow ties) quickly
eliminated any early doubts that
he could successfully replace Mr.
Kuralt, who had spent 15 years
developing the show. With Mr.
Osgood in the anchor chair, the
program has won three daytime
Emmys for outstanding morning
program.
•••••"Charles
Osgood has one of the most
distinctive voices in
broadcasting, guiding each
broadcast, making sure the words
were just right and being a
calming, reassuring presence to
our viewers," David Rhodes,
president of CBS News, said in a
statement. "His impeccable
commitment to quality inspires
all of us at CBS News."
•••••
On his
last Sunday, Mr. Osgood assured
viewers that they could still
find him on the radio. He will
contribute to his long-running
program "The Osgood File," where
he has been known to read
vignettes and poems about the
day's news.
•••
He ended
his farewell to his viewers with
a few wistful bars from a folk
song, written by Woody Guthrie:
"So long, it's been good to know
you/So long it's been good to
know you/So long it's been good
to know you/A long time since
I've been home/And I've got to be
drifting along."
•••Among
those under consideration are
reportedly "Sunday Morning"
colleagues Jane Pauley, Anthony
Mason and Lee Cowan.

TELEPHONE Industrial School of
Arts & Sciences - 1902 -
In January 1902, Stubblefield
agreed to participate in the
commercial exploitation of his
device by Fennell's Philadelphia
Group that purportedly included
Westinghouse. Incorporation
papers for the Wireless Telephone
Company of America were filed in
Prescott, Arizona, on May 22,
1902. Stubblefield was a
director, but held no office. The
Washington and Philadelphia
demonstrations maintained the
momentum needed to sell stock in
the new company. A four page
prospectus, extolling the
investment opportunity in
Wireless Telephone Company of
America compared the Stubblefield
device with Marconi's wireless
telegraphy system by stating that
both systems utilized "...
for
transmission what are termed
Hertzian electrical wave currents
..." The technical details were
not disclosed since the
prospectus was designed to sell
stock, and perhaps deliberately
avoided specific evidence on the
points of comparison or contrast.
The use of steel rods thrust into
the ground, the large circular
coils and the copper antenna
wires attached to the masts on
the steamer Bartholdi and on
rooftops indicate that
Stubblefield's 1892, 1893 and
1902 systems were based upon
Stubblefield's earth grounded
induction-antenna principle, in
which we now call, AM radio.
Stubblefield insisted that a more
"powerful" apparatus would
"transmit" unlimited distances.
The U.S. Navies ELF project in
Clam Flats, Wisconsin is based on
Stubblefield's basic
induction-antenna device.

telephone at first also used
electricity. Today's radio and
television stations receive their
current from power lines fed by
huge dynamos, some powered by
atomic fission. The increasing

Troy Cory was among the first

itself a notable
culture-historical feat, in view
of China's closed door policies
of the late 70s and well into the
80s. The PRC's administrative
climate in comparison is much
less restrictive now and China's
