In the news continued...

I had a thought, ( I have them sometimes).
To continue the awarerness...... if you are willing and would like to, I thought it might be a good idea to take the link about the news story that I did, and send it to all your local news stations to the health reporter. It is always good to present them with something that has been of interest to other news networks in the country.
Volunteer yourself to be interviewed. Don't be bashfull let's get proactive. If you all did it I bet there would be a few more news segments about our plight.
Come on guys...not everyone who needs help lives in the Nashville area......go on do it, it will do ya good.

That can be tried, but when they see I'm not a "looker" like you, they will demand a stunt double. Worth a try with newspapers too, they have health sections. Proud of ya Jayne, great going.

Hi Jayne,
I just emailed Beth Galvin, the health reporter with FOX 5 News in Atlanta. I sent your link and told her that I would make myself available to her in any way she desired (oh boy, I shouldn't have said that!)
Anyway, I'll let you know if anything comes of it.

I too sent the link to the local news station and said I would assist in any way needed if they wanted to do a story as well. Maybe we CAN get the word out. Proactive.....I agree with you Jayne! Lets get this out there.

It's one of those Java script things, you can get the latest update somewhere? on the MS site.
That might help.

This is what I got.
Alert: You are currently using an incompatible browser or an outdated version of Windows Media Player to access the video player on this site. Please read the troubleshooting tips below for more information.
{start rant}
They intentionally blocked me from viewing it because thier site is incompatible with any non M$, browser and non M$ movie player even though I am perfectly capable of playing a movie that is on a proprietary format. So much for freedom of speech, you are free to view if you bow to the great god bill.{/rant}

Java is owned by Sun and the latest java runtime engine can be found HERE. There is a bastard version available from M$. Niether will help you view this movie.

Nope, they blocked Opera too, I guess it is a M$ only site. Anyone watch it on OSX? They set it up so I can't even download it and watch it. wget would be the solution if I still had any desire to watch it.

Paul,
I watched it on Opera, too!! You must be having Linux problems again!! 
Jayne,
This is a GREAT idea!! I will forward the link to stations in Philly. Are you suggesting we forward it to all the local news stations or just one like NBC? We've got NBC, ABC, Fox, CBS, and WB all pretty popular around here!

Yes they are blocking Linux becouse they think I don't have a player for M$ media player files. I did get it too work but I got a 1/2hour news broadcast and didn't watch to see if the story was in it or not.
Anyone get through on OSX?

I finally managed to see this video, and I must say it was worthwhile. Great job Jayne!
I steamed up my old machine, with a vintage media player (# 7) and nothing updated in over a year and it showed the video on first try. I think media player 9 is not only spyware but plain and simply crapware. It is the program that calls the most for the master reset button.
