Michael Prince of Oklahoma National Guard. RPG killed him. The dignified transfer to Dover Air Base, then to Oklahoma. See also post at VeteransToday. CBS had presented this story on Evening News on Oct. 7: [ CBS Evening News After 10 years of war in Afghanistan and in Iraq, the “number of Americans who have given their lives comes to 6,278.” CBS followed the story of one such soldier, 28-year-old Sergeant Michael Prince of the Oklahoma National Guard, who “died in Afghanistan three weeks ago.” When a US soldier dies at war, according to CBS, the military follows a process that it “calls the dignified transfer,” which “ends with a funeral.” Source:http://www.chrisroubis.com/2011/10/top-10-veterans-stories-in-today’s-news-–-october-07-2011/ ]
Mo Rocca on Ellen for the Sunday Profile. What is your job: to make people happy. Crusader of kindness. Getting a laugh at someone else's expense is a form of bullying. Hurt feelings. Pick up the phone and call God (1986). Johnny Carson called her over to the couch. Very clever and very fresh; good material. Ellen grew up in Louisiana of Christian Science parents. Parents made clear being famous was good. In 4th season of tv show, her character came out of the closet. The show lost ratings and one year later show was cancelled. She went back to standup; only gays went to see her. Gaytalk; gayese. She hosted Emmy Awards after 9/11. Gay woman in a suit surrounded by Jews. Talk show and "Finding Nemo." Face of American Express and Cover Girl. "The Gentle Barn." Seriously... I'm Kidding. Ellen: my dancing has taken over my gayness. Walking dead: where's Oprah. Are you the next Oprah: yes.
David Pogue on Steve Jobs. We lost 4 of greatest minds. Designer. Beauty more important than price. Marketer: reality distortion field. Re-invent the phone. Download songs for $1. Jobs called Pogue. Businessman: never went to business school and violated ever shred of wisdom. Took away floppy drives, modems, removable batteries. Visionary: could look at clunky technolgy and get what it could become. Instead of trying to copy Apple: see potential in new ideas. You can make beautiful elegant simple things and still make money.
Steve Hartmann in Lakeside, Ohio. Kids playing shuffleboard. Peewee singles. Steve himself played in Lakeshore.
Next week. Rocking with Coldplay.
Moment of Nature. Soiriva HandiHaler. Benezette, PA: gathering of elk. See Benezette Pa Elk Viewing Guide
