- I was listening to my local news tonight (I live just south of Boston) and they were telling the story about a 5-month old mini chocolate and tan smooth Dachshund puppy, who was out in the yard with the son of his owner when all of a sudden a Red Tailed Hawk swooped down and got ahold of the Dachshund! Thankfully, the dog was on a leash, but the hawk was able to lift the dog off the ground before the little boy started to kick it away from his puppy! The little boy had to fight off the hawk for a bit before he would let go of the doxie puppy, and the puppy did sustain some gashes that required stitches n his head from where the hawk's talons dug into him. They said that if the puppy had not been on a leash, that the hawk probably would have been able to carry him off! This happened out in western MA, where it is a bit more rural. |

- Filed under: Industry, Regulatory, Cable, OTAWhile we've seen plenty of HD expansion in our northern extension, it seems that Robert Rabinovich -- president of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation -- feels that broadcasters are getting the short straw. Contrary to the UK's Freeview system, which gives the public a bevy of cost-free SD channels and is seeing a mutual, unforced push to go HD, we here in North America tend to let content guardians keep a tighter grip on how things are done. Essentially, the prez stated that HDTV "has no business model," claiming a complete lack of motivation for advertisers to pay more to have their plugs shown during an HD show verses an SD show. Apparently his feathers are all ruffled because advertisers are saying that the choice to broadcast HD is "none of their business," leaving broadcasters that do pump out that HD goodness no actual way to recoup the costs. |
