‘US Government invented AIDS’ is something that people think blacks use to fuel there anger, but is it true?
With all this controversy over Rev. Wright saying this statement as a black preacher to rattle up the black congregation may be true. But the theory is anything but black, in fact most scientist who reported on the US being involved in the creation of AIDS are white. According to many scientist, AIDS was created for population control and was first given to blacks in Africa. It’s anything but crazy and I heard on the radio by a white guy saying that in declassified congressional file there are papers on reports of the US government creating the AIDS virus. I was skeptic at first, but after reading up on it and hearing some scinetist i could not believe such things would be in the open!
Another poster already said it is a mutant form of SIV which came from people eating chimps in the wild. It jumped to Humans much the way SARS did. Had it been contained the way SARS was it would be a footnote in history. But leaders at the time namely republican appointed ones at the CDC ignored gay pneumonia as it was known then. Some even tried to claim it was some sort of divine punishment. It was a costly mistake. I personally think those responsible should be in prison for negligence of the worst kind. Over 20 million dead and counting. Now that is holocaust.

Does a good RF Remote Control or Remote Control extender exist?
After years of struggling with multiple remotes and crummy RatShack and LeapFrog extenders I’m ready to get something new. Can anyone point me to a good RF universal remote and/or a good rf extender to use with any remote? Many of the RF remotes and extenders I’ve had just don’t work very well. Slow to respond, weak signal, etc. I have my components in one closet but on two different shelves so a system with at least one remote “eye” to tape to my receiver would probably be necessary unless the IR receiver was very powerful. TIA for any help!
PLEASE only respond with one you have had personal experience with.
This is a pricey one but it’s pretty deluxe. You can plug it into your pc to program it.

I went to a radio broadcasting conference over the weekend with my college class and it was primarily about talk radio, reporting, and tv broadcasting. They all said the music was what they had no control over, so I was disapointed. I’m interested in the music aspect. I’m a dj for my college radio station and sitting and listening to my favorite songs for hours, doesn’t seem like a job. I just would want more control over the music. Such as choosing what plays, scheduling it, finding new music, working with bands/labels, promoting the music/staion. Working to actually bring good music to people. What position is in charge of this? I don’t care if there is no money in it.
The music director. That’s the person who listens to all the new music and makes recommendations. The music director also determines the rotation for the songs on the station playlist and develops the playlist – according to guidelines set by the PD. Most of this is software-driven these days.
But he/she answers to the program director (PD) who answers to the operations manager and/or (rarely with regard to music) the general manager. There’s also the national and regional programming guys in bigger groups. So don’t be surprised if your decisions/recommendations get over-ridden.
But you’ve got to go through a few years as a plain old DJ first, ’til you get some experience under your belt. You’re also expected to stay on top of the music business in general, attend concerts and listening parties and have the answers about every new (and old) song that is or might be considered for airplay. Sounds great, huh? That’s in radio.
The record labels also employ promotion people who call on the various stations (like a salesperson) to convince them to play certain records and add them to their playlists on a certain date to build momentum for the song and artist. These positions are not as prevalent as they once were. They require a dedication to the label’s artists, specific songs and lots of persuasive phone calls and in-person visits to make your case. These are dream jobs with lots of competition and back-stabbing. It helps to live in Nashville, LA or NY.
Then there are the (even less prevalent) independent promoters who are hired by the labels to work a certain record to those stations/music directors/PDs with whom they have developed a relationship – this takes years and (generally) lots of experience. You might be able to squeeze in as an administrative person and work your way up, but usually these are former MDs and record promotion people who go into busines for themselves.
All these jobs require a tremendous amount of work, familiarity with the music and those who make it. Sounds like fun (and it can be) but looks can be deceiving. You’re dealing with egos the size of blimps from all directions and decisions might be made over your head for which you have no reasoning nor recourse. You just have to go along – and probably pull an airshift as well.
The money’s not great (until you get to the bigger markets), the hours are long. Weekends are spent at station functions; some of which are fun (good seats at the concerts) – some are dreadfully boring (giving away bumper stickers at a gas station – all day Saturday, then back again Sunday).
Good luck!
