LAST WEEK TO GET YOUR TICKETS FOR 10TH ANNUAL DWIGHT BOECKMAN FESTIVAL IN OKEENE, OKLAHOMA ON AUGUST 1ST! NO JUSTICE CONCERT PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE PARALYSIS FOUNDATION AND THE MIAMI PROJECT! For immediate release: Contact: Brandy Reed (615) 830-3508 Nashville, TN-Saturday, August 1, 2009 marks the 10th Annual Dwight Boeckman Festival at the Okeene Baseball Field in Okeene, OK. The festival is an all-day, all-ages event featuring a headlining performance by Red-dirt rockers and Oklahoma natives No Justice. Other performances include Johnny Cooper, the Bart Crow Band, Clint Osmus & The Bushmills, Rich O’Toole, Mama Sweet, and many more. This event is all ages. Gates open at 4:00 PM. Free food with admission. Tickets are $20 through July 31st and $30 day of event. The event is held every year in honor of Dwight Boeckman who, in July 2000 at just 22 years old, suffered a spinal cord injury in a diving accident which resulted in paralysis from the chest down. The festival was originally created to help Dwight and his family with medical expenses, but by 2005 had surpassed Dwight’s needs and thus shifted its focus towards helping others. Tragically, Dwight was killed in an automobile accident in fall 2005, but the festival continues to honor his legacy and his dream to raise funds which will assist with research on spinal cord injury paralysis. Proceeds from this year’s benefit will go to The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation and The Miami Project – a paralysis research facility in Florida that Dwight attended. The hope is to eventually find a cure. Dwight Boeckman was born and raised in and around the community of Okeene where the festival is still held today. Thanks to the endless support of family and friends, Dwight was able to give back to the community who had been so very generous to him during the most challenging years of his life. Before he passed, Dwight was able to help leave his mark by establishing the “Challenge of Life” scholarship, which is awarded to a student graduating with high honors who has found time to make a difference while making the grade.

July 24 (Bloomberg) -- Barry Diller, chairman and chief executive officer ofIAC/InterActiveCorp, said Web users will have to pay for what they watch and use, joining the refrain of media moguls who say an era of free Internet content is ending.

The media and technology executive, whose company runs the Ask.com search engine and the Match.com dating service, said it’s “mythology” to view the Internet as a system of free communications.

“It is not free, and is not going to be,” Diller said today at the Fortune Brainstorm conference in Pasadena, California. In addition to IAC, he is chairman of Expedia Inc., the online travel service, and Ticketmaster Entertainment Inc.

Diller, 67, joined a group of media chiefs, from Liberty Media Corp.’s John Malone to Walt Disney Co. CEO Robert Iger, who are challenging the accepted model that consumers pay for Internet access and then content is free. Diller predicted there will be three revenue streams: advertising, subscriptions and transactions.

Disney, the world’s biggest media company, is developing a subscription-based product for the Internet, Iger said on July 22 at the conference.

can a brother spare a dime... the number one tax cheat in America can't sell his house....

What... Mentally ret..... I have not heard that term in 25 years or more...

The proposed health-insurance bill from the House of Representatives refers to mentally disabled people as "retarded" -- a term advocates, relatives and physicians find outdated and offensive.

The bill refers to: "A hospital or a nursing facility or intermediate-care facility for the mentally retarded . . ."

The phrase could cause more problems with groups for the developmentally disabled, who were angered when President Obama referred to his poor bowling skills on "The Tonight Show" as "like the Special Olympics." Obama later apologized.

30 year old term in the bill... along with lots of crap that's been tried and failed... and things we have done that did not work... stinkin' thinkin' by one of America's brightest??? or dumbest???
