Vic Ratner, former radio broadcaster for ABC Radio, addresses a crowd of family and friends, current and former NASA officials, and space journalists after he is inducted as a 2019 Chronicler during a ceremony at Kennedy Space Center’s NASA News Center in Florida on May 3, 2019. Also honored as Chroniclers were journalists Jim Banke and Todd Halvorson, and photographer Peter Cosgrove. The Chroniclers recognizes retirees of the news and communications business who have helped spread news of American space exploration from Kennedy for 10 years or more. The group of four was selected by a committee of their peers on March 25. Their names were engraved on brass strips and added to The Chroniclers wall display in the news center and were unveiled during the ceremony. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
Screen shot of the state-owned Eritrean Television (EriTV) 8:30p.m news broadcast in Arabic, May 22, 2011. Tigrinya, is the official language of Eritrea, a small country situated in the Horn of Africa. EriTV broadcasts from the capital Asmara. The ticker at the bottom of the screen is in Arabic which, along with Tigre, is another of Eritrea's official languages. At the time, celebrations were underway to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Eritrea's independence from Ethiopia on May 24, 1991. EriTV and the government-owned Dimtsi Hafash Radio ("Voice of the Broad Masses" in Tigrinya) are the only broadcast stations in Eritrea.

Sad news: Warp Records has announced that Trish Keenan, singer for the British electronic pop duo Broadcast, has died from complications of pneumonia. Keenan had been hospitalized and was said to be suffering from a strain of the H1N1 flu.
On Friday we went to London, we parked at Westfield in Shepherds Bush to catch the tube in. Returning after a long day in the capital we found the tube station shut and an even longer walk back. There was a major incident, fire had broken out in a tower block, 20 pumps were sent with 120 firefighters. News crews were dispatched so I pretended I was the press and clacked away like a pro, managing to put the presenter off...
On Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 6:26 p.m., the LAFD responded to a reported structure fire at 327 E. Boyd St. in downtown Los Angeles. The first companies arrived on scene within four minutes to find a one-story commercial building with smoke showing. The businesses were not open at the time and firefighters had to force entry with power saws to make access.
They immediately initiated an aggressive interior fire attack with hose lines, and a truck company was sent to the roof to perform vertical ventilation. As firefighting operations continued, the firefighters encountered increased pressurized smoke and heard a rumbling high-pitched sound. Firefighters identified the changing conditions and immediately started exiting the building and the roof as the situation rapidly deteriorated.
Shortly thereafter, a significant explosion created a massive fireball that enveloped the firefighters descending from the roof via an aerial ladder. The searing heat melted helmets, burned through protective coats and hoods and blistered and charred nearby fire apparatus.
A MAYDAY was immediately broadcast over the radio and treatment began on the 11 firefighters that had been caught in the inferno. All of the injured were working at Fire Station 9 on Skid Row, one of the nation’s busiest. Dozens of additional fire and ambulance resources were dispatched to the scene to assist with medical treatment and fire suppression as the blaze continued to spread.
All 11 firefighters were rapidly transported to LAC+USC Medical Center for treatment. A 12th firefighter was later treated and released at the hospital for a minor extremity injury. All 11 burned firefighters were admitted to the hospital with injuries of varying severity. Thankfully, all are expected to survive and as of the morning of Saturday, May 17, three had already been released from the hospital.
At the peak of the incident, more than 230 LAFD firefighters were on scene and the Major Emergency blaze was declared extinguished at 8:08 p.m., one hour and 42 minutes after it was reported. LAFD Arson investigators are working in conjunction with their law enforcement partners to investigate the cause and origin of the fire, as well as the nature of the business at the incident address.

Applause was done through everyone honking their horns! It was a creative way of having performances during the Covid-19 pandemic!

How Much is Your Dead Body Worth?
When veteran broadcaster Alistair Cooke died in 2004 few suspected that he was yet to uncover his greatest story. What happened to his body as it lay in a funeral home would reveal a story of modern day grave robbery and helped smash a body-snatching ring that had made millions of dollars by chopping up and selling-off over 1000 bodies. Dead bodies have become big business.
Each year millions of people’s lives are improved by the use of tissue from the dead. Bodies are used to supply spare parts, and for surgeons to practice on.
Horizon investigates the medical revolution that has created an almost insatiable demand for body parts and uncovers the growing industry and grisly black market that supplies human bodies for a price.
Demand for body parts fuels booming trade
Like a gallon of gasoline, the price of a human leg is all about supply and demand.
And it’s a seller’s market.
“There’s a lot of money to be made on corpses,” said Joshua Slocum, executive director of the nonprofit Funeral Consumers Alliance. Over the past two decades, the tissue industry has exploded into a billion-dollar business, creating a huge demand for ligaments, tendons, bones and other valuable body parts. But there are simply not enough bodies as companies try to keep pace with an increasing number of procedures that use allografts, or cadaver tissue.
The tissue trade is complicated by a long-standing law that forbids the buying and selling of body parts. The law, however, hasn’t stopped people from doing just that every day.
Here’s how it works. Companies charge fees or “reasonable payments associated with the removal, transportation, implantation, processing, preservation, quality control and storage of a human organ,” according to the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984. But these fees are illusory, argues Michele Goodwin, author of “Black Markets: The Supply and Demand of Body Parts.”
“There’s such a markup that they’re really much more like a payment, not a nominal fee,” she said. “We are talking about business operations that have strict pecuniary interests.”
Money is being made hand (which goes for $350 to $850) over foot ($200 to $400 each), according to the new book “Body Brokers” by Annie Cheney.
But this is an industry unlike others, comprised of a hodgepodge of players, all of them angling to get tissue from the 20,000 people who donate their bodies a year. On one side of the industry sits for-profit companies that process the tissue. On the other, competing nonprofits such as tissue banks that make up the backbone of the industry.
. . . Marketplace dynamics have spurred a race to find suitable donors, and that can lead to trouble. Last year, a New Jersey firm called Biomedical Tissue Services was accused of plundering corpses and selling the parts without donor permission.
BTS has cast a dark shadow over the tissue trade but Goodwin says the case isn’t surprising. She believes there are many more instances of people illegally carving up bodies to fuel a booming trade. It’s supply and demand, she said. “That is how this industry works,” she said. “It’s like needing coal to keep the furnaces going but nobody is asking where the coal is coming from.”
The cost of body parts around the world
Kidneys
Last week, it was widely reported in the US that a suspect in a New Jersey corruption investigation told an undercover officer that he had been trading human organs for 10 years, and that the going price for a kidney was $150,000. It highlighted the notorious and illegal international trade for kidneys, with reports of organs being secured from donors in India and Pakistan for as little as $1,000-$2,000, only to be sold on for huge profit to recipients in the west. In theory, organs such as livers and spleens can also be harvested for saleable material, but reports of this are extremely rare.
