07/29/2008 @ 9:20am PST Tuesday, July 29th! Listener Marilyn Ramsay sent along this very clever "Declaration Of Independence" reply that's circulating on the internet! Plus notes for all you pet lovers! "BUZZ" Shia LeBeouf accident details coming out, & Mario Lopez is new "Extra" host!
We have read your "Declaration of Independence" with great interest. Certainly, it represents a considerable undertaking, and many of your statements do merit serious consideration. Unfortunately, the Declaration as a whole fails to meet recently adopted specifications for proposals to the Crown, so we must return the document to you for further refinement. The questions which follow might assist you in your process of revision:
1. In your opening paragraph you use the phrase "the Laws of Nature and Nature`s God." What are these laws? In what way are they the criteria on which you base your central arguments? Please document with citations from the recent literature.
2. In the same paragraph you refer to the "opinions of mankind." Whose polling data are you using? Without specific evidence, it seems to us the "opinions of mankind" are a matter of opinion.
3. You hold certain truths to be "self-evident." Could you please elaborate. If they are as evident as you claim then it should not be difficult for you to locate the appropriate supporting statistics.
4. "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" seem to be the goals of your proposal. These are not measurable goals. If you were to say that "among these is the ability to sustain an average life expectancy in six of the 13 colonies of at last 55 years, and to enable newspapers in the colonies to print news without outside interference, and to raise the average income of the colonists by 10 percent in the next 10 years," these could be measurable goals. Please clarify.
5. You state that "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new Government...." Have you weighed this assertion against all the alternatives? What are the trade-off considerations?
6. Your description of the existing situation is quite extensive. Such a long list of grievances should precede the statement of goals, not follow it. Your problem statement needs improvement.
7. Your strategy for achieving your goal is not developed at all. You state that the colonies "ought to be Free and Independent States," and that they are "Absolved from All Allegiance to the British Crown." Who or what must change to achieve this objective? In what way must they change? What specific steps will you take to overcome the resistance? How long will it take? We have found that a little foresight in these areas helps to prevent careless errors later on. How cost-effective are your strategies?
8.Who among the list of signatories will be responsible for implementing your strategy? Who conceived it? Who provided the theoretical research? Who will constitute the advisory committee? Please submit an organization chart and vitas of the principal investigators.
9. You must include an evaluation design. We have been requiring this since Queen Anne`s War.
10. What impact will your problem have? Your failure to include any assessment of this inspires little confidence in the long-range prospects of your undertaking.
11. Please submit a PERT diagram, an activity chart, itemized budget, and manpower utilization matrix.
We hope that these comments prove useful in revising your "Declaration of Independence." We welcome the submission of your revised proposal. Our due date for unsolicited proposals is July 31, 1776. Ten copies with original signatures will be required.
Sincerely,
Management Analyst to the British Crown
HERE'S SOME INSIGHTS FOR ALL YOU PET OWNERS WHAT THEY'RE SAYING!
Although you may not know it, you and your beloved pet share many of the same abilities, like smiling when you feel good and dreaming when you sleep. Warren Eckstein, author of "How to Get Your Dog to Do What You Want," and other experts have discovered these and more amazing facts about your dog or cat that will lead to great happiness for both of you. Here are a few secrets your pet would love to share with you if only he could talk:
" Happy faces -- When dogs and cats are in a good mood, they use the same facial muscles we do to crack a smile. Golden retrievers and Dobermans are well known for beaming when they're happy.
" Don't forget -- Just watch your puppy or kitty balk because he or she fears a ride in the car will end at the vet's office and you'll realize that animals remember loads of information by association.
" I'm so lonesome -- Your pet doesn't camp out on your bed or nestle in the dirty clothes hamper to make you angry. They miss you so much that they need the comfort of your scent when left home alone.
" Dream on -- When your pet sleeps, he or she often has dreams that trigger jerky foot movements or a wiggly nose. But should a nightmare disturb Spot's slumber, you can clam him with a gentle touch.
" Brain Power -- Parrots are especially bright and have the capacity to catalog as much information as a 5 year old child. Keep your feathered pal happy with an array of colorful toys and loving attention.
" Now ear this -- Dogs and cats experience sounds twice as loudly as humans do. That's why they often on completely bonkers during a thunderstorm or when a screaming siren goes by the house.

RANDY PAUSCH, THE "LAST LECTURE" PROFESSOR, SUCCUMBS TO CANCER!
US professor Randy Pausch, who shot to global fame because of the inspirational "Last Lecture" he delivered just weeks after learning he had terminal cancer, died Friday, the university where he taught said.
"He died today," Alyssa Mayfield, a spokeswoman for Carnegie Mellon University, where Pausch had taught computer science since 1997, told AFP.
Pausch was 47.
Celebrated in his chosen field and praised as an inspirational teacher, Pausch sprang to worldwide fame for his "Last Lecture," delivered at Carnegie Mellon on September 18 last year after he learned he was dying of pancreatic cancer and had months to live.
"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just the way we play the hand," Pausch said in the lecture, which was laced with humor and optimism.
Titled "Really achieving your childhood dreams," the lecture was a call for all those who knew Pausch to "go on without him and do great things," Carnegie Mellon said in a statement released Friday.
The talk was videotaped and subsequently criss-crossed the world via the Internet. More than 3.2 million people had viewed the "Last Lecture" on YouTube alone as of Friday, and according to Carnegie Mellon, tens of millions have watched Pausch's inspirational talk.
The talk spawned a book, called "The Last Lecture," which was translated into 30 languages and topped best-seller lists around the world.
The book was an attempt by Pausch "to put myself in a bottle that will one day wash up on the beach for my children," he was quoted as saying by Carnegie Mellon.
HERE IS THE FAMOUS VIDEO OF THAT "LAST LECTURE" OF RANDY PAUSCH!
DID YOU SEE THE QANTAS AIRLINER WITH A HOLE IN THE SIDE MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING IN THE PHILIPPINES. SEE WHAT IT WAS LIKE ON BOARD!
More than 300 passengers who survived a mid-air emergency aboard a jumbo jet operated by the Australian airline Qantas, are due to return to Australia, after the aircraft made an emergency landing at Manila airport.
Karl Hoerr reports the passengers were on route to Melbourne from London and were due to arrive around 10 o'clock last night. Instead, they ended up in Manila after the plane's fueslage ripped open.
The damage caused the cabin to lose pressure and the pilot was forced to rapidly descend 19 thousand feet, later making an emergency landing at Manila's international airport. Passengers have described the incident as terrifying but no one was injured.

SOMETHING FOR FREE? THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART 5 TO 8 P.M. THURSDAY!
FREE MUSEUM DAYS:
If you’re planning to stop in big-city museum, I’ll tell you how you can save money by going on a free museum day. In Los Angeles, you can enter the Museum of Contemporary Art at 250 South Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles for $8. Not a bad deal, right? But if you go on Thursday between 5 and 8 p.m. it won’t cost you a penny. In New York, the famous Museum of Modern Art is free every Friday evening from 4 to 8 p.m. Don’t want to pay $18 to enter the Guggenheim Museum? Go on Friday between 5:45 and 8 p.m., and you can pay as much as you want. Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art costs $10 every day except Tuesdays, when admission is free. And, in Paris, you can save big on the first Sunday of every month, when 15 museums including the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay are entirely free. For more information, visit PeterGreenberg.com.

Batman star Christian Bale (shown above 20 years ago with his family) confronted his mother after she allegedly insulted his wife. Sources close to the actor said he 'flew off the handle' at London's Dorchester hotel after Jenny Bale said 'some outrageous things'. Yesterday, the Welsh-born actor was arrested and bailed over an assault claim, which he has denied.
THE WNBA NEEDED SOMETHING TO ELEVATE THEIR VISIBILITY. THEY GOT IT!
YOUR CAR COLOR REVEALS YOUR PERSONALITY!
British researchers have determined that the color of your car tells others something about your personality. Granted, this isn't true for every driver on the road, but if you chose the color of your car, check this out to see if it matches your personality. " Black: Aggressive personality or someone who is an outsider or rebel. Of all car colors, this is the most likely to be involved in an accident. " Silver: Cool, calm and slightly aloof. " Green: Hysterical tendencies. " Yellow: Idealistic and novelty loving. " Blue: Introspective, reflective and cautious. " Gray: Calm, sober and dedicated to work. " Red: Full of zest, energy and drive; thinks, moves and talks quickly. " Pink: Gentle, loving and affectionate. " White: Status-seeking extroverts. " Cream: Self-contained and controlled. This color car is least likely to be involved in an accident.

07/22/2008 @ 8:10am PST Tuesday, July 22nd! Sad news this past weekend of a loyal listener's pet's passing. The famous earthquake predicting cat from my show, Alexander, was put to sleep at age 22. "BUZZ" Christian Bale, "Batman", arrested in London, plus Britney's latest bikini pictures!
YOU'VE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT HIM FOR YEARS, ALEXANDER, THE EARTHQUAKE PREDICTING CAT. I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF SKEPTICS, WHO THOUGHT WE GAVE HIM TOO WIDE A RANGE OF TERRAIN FOR ACCURACY, BUT THE FACTS WERE THAT EVERYTIME THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE EVENT, OR A STRONG ONE LOCALLY, ALEXANDER WOULD SENSE IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN 24 TO 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE. IT HAPPENED MORE THAN ENOUGH TIMES TO CHALK IT UP TO COINCIDENCE.
IN HIS EARLIER YEARS, HE WOULD CLIMB UP ON THE TOP OF A DOOR (PICTURES BELOW), BUT IN HIS GOLDEN YEARS, HIS PREDICTIONS WERE MANIFESTED AS SEIZURE EPISODES, AND RIGHT UP UNTIL HIS LAST DAY, HE WAS STILL SENSING EVENTS TO COME.
This past weekend, I received the following email from Pat Barker, and on behalf of her daughter, Anna, about Alexander, the earthquake predicting cat!
Charlie;
Anna called. Alexander had 9 episodes today. Sadly, I need to tell you that this will be his last prediction. Alexander has finally met something he couldn't fight against and win. Time. Tonight we will be saying good-bye to this grand old man. We can do no more loving thing than to allow him this peaceful and dignified departure. Unfortunately, we are absolutely devastated, especially Anna.
Charlie, he came into my possession, at least 22 years ago, as a very skinny, tiny kitten when some kid's grandmother refused to allow him to stay. He was dirty and had more fleas than any animal I had ever seen. Needless to say, Anna, fell madly in love with him. I kept him with me while I was at work so I could feed him every 3 hours. He even went out in the field with me. His special talents were evident even then. There was even a guy who stopped screaming at me after I had impounded his vehicle because Alexander was asleep in my arms (I had just fed him) and he didn't want to wake him.
As he grew up, Alex fell madly in love with Anna (and she with him). He became her personal bodyguard, confidant, and all-around best bud. He took his duties very seriously, and woe to any guy (especially guys) who made her upset. He had been known to chase guys out of the house! You either loved him or you respected him from a distance (at least a leg and extended claws distance). He has been the scourge of every vet, and several vet techs who had to treat him. He always made sure they knew who was boss.
At home, he was always prepared to put the dogs and cats in their place, and I am convinced he truly believed he is made of kingly material. He was totally fearless, cocky, opinionated, and seemed to think he was immortal. And he was always superior to everyone else in the house, no matter if you had two legs or four.
As his ability to predict earthquakes developed, he took great pride in finding just those certain doorways where we would be sure to notice him. Even so, we humans were somewhat slow to understand what he felt should have been perfectly clear. I didn't figure it out until the Landers/Big Bear event.
Unfortunately, the last few days have proven that he is mortal after all, even if he doesn't think so. He has lost a lot of weight, and his body is failing. Even though he would try to stay if we asked, we will not do that to him. He has earned a trip to heaven and it is the very least we can do for him.
Charlie, I can't tell you how much it has meant to us that you truly believed in him as we did. Alex took great pride in his extraordinary sense and dedicated himself to being right, always. I thank you for all the patronage over the years, as you mentioned him on the radio, championed his abilities, and told everyone about his extraordinary skills.
Please remember him with fondness. There will never be another one like him, and maybe that is fitting. He leaves a legacy, and paw prints that can never be filled. I am going to see about getting a plaque for him with his picture on it and his legend. GOD REST HIS SOUL, he will be very sorely missed.
PAUL McCARTNEY'S SURPRISE APPEARANCE AT BILLY JOEL'S 7-1-08 CONCERT
GREAT NEWS IF YOU'RE A PATRICK SWAYZE FAN: "I'M A MIRACLE DUDE"!
The man who hot-footed his way to stardom via the film, Dirty Dancing, was given just weeks to live at the start of the year, (pictured above in March, and on the right this weekend at LAX).
But this week the 55-year-old was photographed at Los Angeles airport looking suntanned, fatter and wearing a broad smile. The last time he was seen in public was in March when he looked tired and drawn and very thin.
This time, the actor told photographers: "I'm cooking. I'm a miracle dude, I don't know why". Doctors suggest it could be because he is very fit and has stayed positive throughout his treatment.
The star of Ghost and Point Break has been having chemotherapy at Stanford University Medical Centre in California.
Swayze has so impressed his doctors that he has been given the go-ahead to begin filming for his first TV work in years.
Pancreatic cancer is considered one of the hardest to treat successfully; it has a typical success rate of 5%.

TOP 10 MILEAGE TIPS FROM HYPERMILERS!
1. Lighten Your Load -- Remove of all but the bare necessities, at least free your ride of things like toolkits, golf bags and whatever other uncritical mass.
2. Keep Your Tires Full -- If you want the best compromise of economy, handling and safety, a great mileage tip is to keep your tires inflated to your car's recommended settings. You can find that information in your owner's manual and on the car itself; most likely on the driver's door jam.
3. Map Out the Shortest Route -- Look for the shortest routes, but consider the flattest and least congested as well.
4. Keep Your Car Aerodynamic -- While you can't eliminate drag, you can reduce it. Do away with extraneous or occasional-use items like bug shields, rooftop carriers and bike/luggage/ski racks.
5. Coast Into Stops -- Just as aggressive takeoffs suck more gas, so too does staying on the gas until the last moment before you brake. If you try coasting a while before braking, you'll notice you don't lose much speed and your mileage will improve.
6. Use cruise control -- Passing and be passed by a driver who can't commit to one speed drains your tank a lot faster. On reasonably mild terrain (steep hills are an exception) and when traffic conditions allow, you could realize substantial gains in mileage.
7. Don't let your engine idle -- Standing still with an idling engine yields 0 mpg. That's not to say you ought to kill your motor at every red light or in stop-and-go traffic, but whenever you anticipate you'll be sitting for 30 seconds or more, it'll save you big.
8. Shift when revs are low -- If you have a manual gearbox, you'll want to reconsider your upshift points. When it comes to managing better gas mileage, keep the RPMs as low as you can without lugging the engine.
9. Watch your mileage in real time -- If your car has the function, pay attention to the current mpg monitor (or pick up one and install it). Either way, you'll be surprised how your driving style impacts your numbers.
10. Don't accelerate hard -- As tempting as it is to mash the gas as soon as the light goes green, hard acceleration tests have shown mileage to drop by over 35%.
