Abby loved her books. We read to her just about everyday of her life. We still read to her, as we go to the cemetery daily and read stories. While she was in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), we wanted to read books to her, but there were none available. My sister-in-law, Bernice, had to go down to the gift shop and buy some books. This is a children’s hospital and it is unbelievable that there is no children’s library! So I made a few phone calls to Medical City, and they have agreed to let us host a book drive, Dec 1st-15th to collect new children’s books to supply the PICU. Any money raised in memory of Abby will go toward the Child Life Department at Medical City Children's Hospital.

We will mark each book donated in memory of Abigail Kearney. We also setup a wish list for Abigail Kearney on Amazon.com that will allow people to select a book from the registry to ship directly to us. Any monetary donations should be made directly to Medical City Children's Hospital in memory of Abigail Kearney. Alternatively, Will or I will collect checks made out to Medical City and ensure that the money is delivered. All donations are tax-deductible. Links to the wish list and the Medical City Foundation are available to the left. We will post the official flier as soon as it is finalized. READ MORE

Following months of rehearsals, overtime and job description changes, the Eyewitness News format hit the airwaves at WABC on November 17, 1968. The man behind the concept of putting reporters out in the field as eyewitnesses and actually appearing on television, of bringing racial diversity to newscasts, and using graphics and teases and camera movement to liven up TV News, brought WABC from 3rd in the ratings books to number ONE.

In “EYEWITNESS Newsman,” Al Primo takes readers through getting his first job in TV in the mail room to becoming a Network News Executive and beyond.  His Eyewitness style of having reporters seen in every news story, eventually changed every newscast in America. Prior to Primo, the anchor read every story. Excitement followed his success, but you can imagine the grumbling getting it done. Here is a line from “EYEWITNESS Newsman.” “Camera operators were told that they’d never need something to sit on again because they’d be constantly moving.” SEE THE INTERVIEW

Houston loves Canadians.

Being the headquarters for numerous oil and gas companies, Houston has a lot to do with Canada's oil and gas capital, Calgary, and our commerce capital, Toronto. READ MORE

We are writing because in 2006 or 2007 you may have uploaded video to the Brightcove.TV video website through a Brightcove consumer account. We are planning to discontinue that site on December 17, 2008. When we turn off the site, the videos you have uploaded will no longer be viewable on Brightcove.TV or in video players embedded from the site. (This change will not affect videos in Brightcove platform accounts.)

You may have also uploaded video directly to one of our platform customers who use Brightcove's Consumer Media functionality to collect and publish video uploaded from visitors to their site. The Consumer Media functionality will continue to operate as it has in the past, except that content uploaded to a publisher will no longer be viewable on Brightcove.TV or players embedded from the site.

If you would like the videos in your Brightcove consumer account to continue to be available online, we recommend that you re-upload the videos to another consumer video sharing service.

This, a new digital TV offering that features MGM movies, children’s programs and classic dramas and sitcoms, will debut Dec. 1 in Houston as one of KPRC’s (Channel 2) digital stations.
This will replace the NBC WeatherPlus signal that currently airs on KPRC’s digital signal 2.2 and at channel 320 on Comcast cable. It is a joint venture of MGM and Weigel Broadcasting Co., which owns stations in Chicago and Milwaukee. READ THE REST

Houston-area restaurants will be offering special three-course menus at a greatly reduced price. From November 17th through the 21st, the restaurants will be offering either lunch or dinner menus or -- in some cases -- both. The price for the lunch menus is $24, while the dinner menus are an equally reasonable $35 (excluding tax and gratuity). READ MORE

The companies will make their joint content available to other media outlets in each market, including rival stations, print publications, radio and digital media.

“By pooling resources to provide video coverage of general market events, we can ensure our stations are covering the news of the day,” said NBC Local Media President John Wallace, “and at the same time, focus our efforts on the type of specialized reporting that defines our brands and differentiates our stations within their communities.” READ MORE

If you’ve got an HD Radio, that means you can pick up the station’s signal in stereo and, in a big development for Rockets fans, pick up the night signal with the same strength as KILT FM’s regular night signal. READ MORE

The remarkably slim Flip Mino HD will make shooting and sharing HD video simple and affordable for the first time. Weighing just over 3 oz., the $229 Mino HD is a great alternative to
a pricey, bulky HD camcorder.

The Mino HD features 720p resolution, 4GB built in memory, 60 minutes of recording and all-new built-in FlipShare software for even easier saving, organizing and sharing of video from your computer. And one more industry first: Mino HD is the first and only custom "designable" HD camcorder.
