Hit and Run

This week in The Q we refuse to take our foot off the gas as we chat up the (2012) action rom com HIT & RUN starring Dax Shepard and real life girlfriend Kristin Bell. It goes a little something like this… Once upon a time, Charlie Bronson (Shepard) was a getaway wheelman for a quick-triggered gang of bank robbers, led by the unpredictable Alex (Bradley Cooper). But after being placed in the Witness Protection Program and falling for pretty Annie (Bell), Charlie’s criminal past has faded into the rearview mirror. When Annie lands an interview for her dream job in L.A., Charlie vows that she won’t be late, and they hit the road in his custom-built muscle car. From the moment they leave town, however, Annie’s obsessive ex-boyfriend Gil (Michael Rosenbaum) is hot on their trail and determined to reveal Charlie’s shady past. With bumbling U.S. Marshal Randy (Tom Arnold) trying to keep pace and protect Charlie, the former criminal finds every escape route blocked by his old gang, who aren’t about to let his past sins go unpunished. Written & directed by car enthusiast Shepard, this breezy ride has it all on display, his girl, his friends and his rather impressive car collection… That as well as our Top 3 “Real Life Movie Couples”

What St. Lawrence County Government Needs to Know About PCBs, POPs and What Can Be Done to Minimize Exposure Now

PCBs have been causing harm to the people of St. Lawrence County and the Akwesasne Reserve for many years now. Much scientific knowledge has accumulated on the subjects of PCB exposure and damages to health. This knowledge can help people take actions that will begin to minimize the ongoing harm imposed by PCB exposure. It is time for all scientific knowledge about PCBs to be shared with the public. Placing information about how PCB exposures occur and what risk of damage to health this causes on the St. Lawrence County Public Health Department website and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Environment Division website would be a strong first step in providing the people with this educational outreach. The St. Lawrence County Legislature has the authority to task the Public Health Department with placing scientific information about PCBs on its website. Educating the members of the County Legislature is key to bringing about this government action. Cancer Action NY is working to move the County Legislature to invite David O. Carpenter, MD, Director of the State University of New York University at Albany Institute for Health and the Environment to make a presentation on PCB exposure, damages to health and exposure minimization for the Services Committee of the Legislature. So as to move forward with this endeavor, we have produced an interview with Dr. Carpenter saying what he would say about PCBs to the St. Lawrence County Legislature. In this powerful interview, Dr. Carpenter states that the PCB contamination present in the St. Lawrence River, its tributaries and the landfills on the ALCOA, Reynolds Metals and GM Powertrain Superfund sites should be removed and if not removed capped so as to stop all evaporation of PCBs into the air. Dr. Carpenter explains that people can do very little about how much PCBs are present in foods, but they can choose foods in the supermarket that contain little or no PCBs. Foods containing animal fats: meats, dairy products, fish and eggs all contain PCBs and the other persistent organic pollutants (POPs). This is because PCBs and POPs are fat soluble. Providing the public with information about PCBs and the other POPs is progressing. In 2010 the World Health Organization (WHO) published, "Persistent Organic Pollutants: Impact on Child Health". Dr. Carpenter was a contributing author of this report. He recommends that people read this document. The report is available on the WHO website: www.who.int. The St. Lawrence County Public Health Department and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe Environment Division could readily place information about this report on their websites.

United Automobile Workers Sets Its Sight on Mississippi Nissan Plant

United Automobile Workers Sets Its Sight on Mississippi Nissan Plant to Break the Back of Nonunion South featuring Sheila Wilson, autoworker, Canton Mississippi Nissan Plant Raphael Martinez, autoworker, Canton Mississippi Nissan Plant It is just more than a month since the UAW suffered a bruising defeat at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, with workers voting not to join a union in an election widely seen as a test of whether labor unions will gain a foothold in the rapidly growing auto factories of the South. But, now the attention has now shifted to the more than 5,000-worker Nissan plant in Canton, Miss., where another union effort is gaining steam. This time, union organizers have help from clergy and students across central Mississippi who have joined the campaign, championing the workers' cause and condeming management's intimidation campaign. From pulpits, at leafleting campaigns outside Nissan dealerships and at auto industry events in Brazil, Geneva, Detroit and New York, these new organizers have a message we support the workers. The success or failure of this new tactic could be crucial for the labor movement as it seeks to organize new workers in a region that has become one of the most important battlegrounds for new manufacturing in the U.S. . The UAW also hopes to organize a Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama, and has requested another vote in Chattanooga. Other unions have their sights on a 7,000-worker Boeing plant in South Carolina.

Out of the Woods - Show #211 - 4-24-14

This version of the program is divided into 6 segments so broadcasters who desire to use this content can insert your station info, etc. The segments vary in length, but I try to keep them approximately 30 minutes in most cases. Out of the Woods is an earthy, wires and wood, mostly acoustic program featuring some of the best new and established artists from the worlds of folk, bluegrass, singer-songwriters, alt.country, Americana, classic country, old-time, Celtic, and everything that falls in between. The show is an unpredictable mix flowing like a river between moods, often with an edge or in a melancholy minor key. On occasion, Out of the Woods features interviews and live in-studio performances with national and international touring musicians. Past guests have included artists such as Bela Fleck, Si Kahn, Brown Bird, Dana Robinson, Steve Gillette & Cindy Mangsen, Kate MacLeod, Bill Bourne, Karl Shiflett, Rachel Bissex, Darryl Purpose, Bow Thayer, Cosy Sheridan and many others. Out of the Woods grew out of Jon 'Chip' Colcord's former acoustic programs, The Song Swap and Music For The Mountain, separate folk and bluegrass programs which aired in New Hampshire during the 1990s. As a child, Colcord grew up a ravenous music fan with an ear for both rock and folk, from Arlo Guthrie to Aerosmith. All of these influences converge on Out of the Woods to bring you a mix which is as much on the edge as it is down home. Folk music with a rock 'n' roll soul
