Criticdoctor.com Invades the Set of Spike-TV's "Invasion Iowa"

When Criticdoctor.com publisher, Herb Kane, was not allowed near the filming of William Shatner's "Invasion Iowa" movie (in September of 2004), he decided to take matters into his own hands. Kane drove to Riverside, Iowa (the self-proclaimed future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk, Shatner's character from the original "Star Trek" TV series) and invaded the set of "Invasion Iowa" - incognito.

Scripps Will Use Cell Journalist to Power User Generated Content Solution

Cell Journalist, provider of user generated content solutions to newspapers, television stations and other media outlets, has been selected by E. W. Scripps Company to provide its platform and services to allow readers of its 15 newspapers in nine states to easily send in images and videos for immediate publication in print and online.



The Cell Journalist platform enables any individual with a cell phone, iPhone, or Blackberry to upload images and videos of breaking news and newsworthy events as they happen. The platform will also allow Scripps' editors to expedite approved content to its audiences without delay, noted Parker Pollidor, founder and president of Nashville-based Cell Journalist.



The Cell Journalist platform is already in place at two Scripps newspapers--Knoxville News Sentinel (im.knoxnews.com http://im.knoxnews.com) and the Commercial Appeal in Memphis (focus.commercialappeal.com http://focus.commercialappeal.com). Cell Journalist will launch in coming weeks at the other 13 Scripps newspapers.



About Cell Journalist: Cell Journalist was born the day after the London bombings in July 2005. Founded by entrepreneurs Parker and Colin Polidor, it has evolved into the most advanced application of its kind for media seeking images and videos of breaking news, weather and community events from its audience. Cell Journalist is in use in more than three dozen media outlets nationwide and growing rapidly, reflecting current trends toward immediate audience participation in the news process. As a direct result of the Cell Journalist implementation, one Gulf Coast NBC-TV affiliate received over 2,500 images from viewers in the aftermath of September's Hurricane Ike allowing the station's audience to witness the disaster as it unfolded.

Solar Innovations, Inc. Provides Options for Daylighting and Ventilation in High Moisture Areas

Solar Innovations, Inc., a custom manufacturer of residential and commercial skylights, greenhouses, conservatories, sunrooms, folding and sliding glass doors, walls, windows, and screens, provides options for daylighting and ventilation in high moisture areas. A leader in skylight design, Solar provides suggestions for ventilation incorporating ridge vents, eave vents, operable skylights, and retractable roofs.

Ridge vents are located in the peak of a roof.

Working in conjunction with the ridge vents, eave vents allow cool air to enter the room. These vents are located at the eave or base of the roof. The integration of these two types of vents creates circular air flow; intake low and exhaust high is a natural ventilation principle.... (Continue reading)
