Trini Lopez on HRN News at 7 - Nov 23

Tune in and listen to legendary great Trini Lopez on Healthylife.net Radio Network's HRN News@7 November 23rd at 7am and 7pm PT and all day after 9am PT on archives for 24 hours.

Trini was a poor boy from the barrio of Dallas, Texas. He remembers barely enough food for the family, the amount always determined by his parents' ability to get whatever work they could.

Trini learned to play the guitar from his father. Then he played for money on the street corners. He eventually went on to form his own group. It was then that the world saw the beginnings of the singing, acting, and very talented Trini Lopez.

When Trini was 18 years old, King Records in Cincinnati, Ohio, heard that Trini had written and recorded a single in Dallas on a little label called Volk Records. The name of the song was The Right to Rock. The single made a little noise in Dallas, enough noise for King Records to be impressed with Trini's voice and style. King Records offered Trini a recording contract and for three years.

The first big break came at the popular night spot called P. J.'s. Here, he was spotted by the world famous record producer, the late Don Costa, who then brought Trini to the attention of his longtime idol, Mr. Frank Sinatra. The great singer recognized a fellow stylist and immediately signed Trini to an exclusive eight-year contract with his own label - Reprise Records. Reprise released his first album, "Trini Lopez at P. J.'s," which became a No. 1 hit album. Out of that album a single, "If I Had a Hammer" became a No. 1 hit in thirty eight countries. "If I Had a Hammer" hammered his name in GOLD with many hit albums and many hit singles ... and in the hearts of millions of fans throughout the world! Following "Hammer" were many hits which he wrote, as well as songs like "I'm Coming Home Cindy", "Michael," "Lemon Tree," Kansas City," "America," and, of course, "La Bamba.

Trini is a firm believer in the saying "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice," and he does practice what he believes by unselfishly giving of his time and talent to many worthwhile causes such as The March of Dimes, Cancer Research Foundation, Diabetes Foundation, Boy Scouts of America, Variety Clubs International, and many more.

Tune in and enjoy!

NOV 15th HealthyLife.Net Health News Super Segment

If you couldn't listen to last Tuesday's health super segment at 7am and 7pm PT (and all day on archives)here's some of what you missed...

A recent study investigated the relationship between vitamin D status and breast cancer. The study included 636 women who had been diagnosed with incident breast cancer and 1,272 matched controls. The results revealed a decreased risk of breast cancer with increased levels of vitamin D. Researchers also found a significant inverse relationship in women under 53 years of age. Premenopausal women with high serum vitamin D levels had a reduced risk of breast cancer, although not significantly. These findings suggest that high vitamin D levels reduce the risk of developing breast cancer especially in younger women, although further studies are necessary to confirm these results.

A study conducted at the University of California-Davis investigated whether the use of commercial vegetable juice was an effective way to increase daily intake of vegetables in adults. Consumption of vegetable juice helped the participants reach the recommended daily intake. The results also revealed that the subjects who were pre-hypertensive at the start of the study showed significant decreases in blood pressure over the course of the study. These findings suggest that drinking one to two cups of vegetable juice per day is an effective way to fill the daily vegetable dietary gap for healthy adults and it may also reduce blood pressure in pre-hypertensive adults.

Researchers decided to investigate the effectiveness of ginger as an additional antiemetic therapy in patients receiving chemotherapy. The scientists of this double-blind study randomly assigned patients with bone cancer to either ginger root powder capsules or placebo capsules. The study published in Pediatrics and Cancer found that ginger root powder was effective in reducing severity of nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy.

A study published in the the British Journal of Dermatology has found that lycopene may help prevent UltraViolet Ray skin damage by consumption of lycopene-rich tomatoes.

Parents and caregivers can take steps to reduce the risks of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) during the colder months, when infants are at higher risk. These include avoiding overheating an infant during nap or sleep time; placing the infant on his or her back to sleep; placing infants to sleep on a firm, safety approved mattress; keeping toys, blankets, and other loose objects out of the crib, and never smoking around an infant. In cold weather, parents and caregivers often place extra blankets or clothes on infants, to keep them warm. But over bundling may cause infants to overheat, increasing their risk for SIDS.

HealthyLife.net Health News Super Segment

If you couldn't listen to last Tuesday's health super segment at 7am and 7pm PT (and all day on archives)here's some of what you missed...

Exposure to noise is a fact of life. At high levels, noise can damage hearing, and at lower levels it can disrupt sleep patterns, interfere with communications, and even cause accidents. A new National Academy of Engineering report characterizes the most commonly identified sources of noise, looks at efforts that have been made to reduce noise emissions, and suggests ways to decrease exposure in workplaces, schools, recreational environments, and residences. Development of noise control technology needs immediate attention, said the committee that wrote the report. America should become more competitive in the production of low-noise products, both to improve quality of life and to advance innovation. The committee recommends that the federal government explore potential engineering solutions along with changes in policy to control negative effects of noise in the workplace, in communities, and at home. These include cost-benefit analysis of noise reduction, especially for road traffic noise; improved metrics for noise control; lower limits for noise exposure in industry; “buy quiet” programs; wider use of international standards for noise emissions; airplane noise reduction technology; and noise control in public buildings. Improved cooperation between industry and government agencies, particularly the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is also called for.

An evergreen shrub, green tea has long been used worldwide as a popular beverage and a respected herbal remedy. The earliest record of green tea drinkers was around 2700 B.C. Studies suggest that green tea may help decrease some infectious diseases, tooth decay and may enhance immunity. Now findings from a recent study suggest that green tea may help aging. The results of the study found a 20 percent reduction in levels of DNA damage which may indicate that regular consumption of green tea aid in protection against damage at a genetic level and slow the aging process.

A higher rate of diabetes seen among adult Americans when compared to peers in England is explained primarily by a larger waist size rather than conventional risk factors such as obesity, according to a new study by researchers from the RAND Corporation, University College London and the Institute for Fiscal Studies in London. Americans carry more fat around their middle sections than the English, and that was the single factor that explained most of the higher rate of diabetes seen in the United States, especially among American women. Waist size may be the missing new risk factor. Analyzing studies about the health and lifestyles of large numbers people from the United States and England, researchers found no association between higher diabetes rates in the United States based upon conventional risk factors such as age, smoking, socio-economic status or body mass index, the commonly used ratio of height and weight that is used to measure obesity and over-weight. The higher waist size of Americans posed more risk compared to their English peers across most body mass index categories. For example, among women with normal weight, 41 percent of American women were categorized as having high waist risk compared to 9 percent of English women.

A recent study reported in the Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine sought to determine whether certain yoga postures could reduce anxiety levels and improve mood by increasing brain GABA levels. Although GABA levels have been found to be lower in people with anxiety and mood disorders, there have been no previous studies that increased GABA levels can improve anxiety and mood. Researchers found that GABA levels are lower in people suffering with anxiety and mood disorders. The study included thirty-four subjects with who were randomly placed in a yoga group or a 60 minute, 3 times a week walking program. The results revealed that the yoga group reported greater improvements in anxiety and mood when compared with the walking group. They also found that increased thalamic GABA levels ARE associated with improved mood and decreased anxiety, although further research is needed.

Humans have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes and each person has two copies of each gene. One is inherited from the mother and one from the father. These genes are how height, hair color, skin color, and eye color are determined, as well as, natural talents, mental abilities and susceptibility to acquire certain diseases. Now a study reported in Nature Genetics found that gene mutation may affect the risk of breast cancer. Researchers identified five gene mutations that were associated with breast cancer risk in women with BRCA 1 gene mutations. This study could be useful in determining individual breast cancer risk in women with this BRCA 1 gene mutation.

Increase Your Football Passion (even if you don't have one)

by Jay Cruz

With September and Fall comes the back to school shuffle and one more very important thing. Football. A few weeks back Dr. Sheila Foreman shared some tips and insights for listeners of the Healthylife.net News@7 who may not have a passion for the game, yet may have passion for someone who does enjoy football. Here are some handy hints for you to try this season to make Sundays more fun for all.

-- Follow a team. If you don't already have a favorite team or have become a fan by default because of your friends or family, adopt a team. Why pick a team you may ask? Just try it and see how soon you become more interested in the developments and events during the year. Many fans started to show some love to the New Orleans Saints a few years ago after Hurrican Katrina, last year's Super Bowl win was shared by many casual fans who liked the underdog Saints and the rebuilding of New Orleans. This year a few popular teams up for adoption could be the Washington Redskins with new coach Mike Shanahan and new Quarterback Donovan McNabb. Coach Shanahan comes in with a resume that includes 2 Super Bowls while McNabb was traded after a number of quality years for the Eagles. In Los Angeles where we don't have a team, many local fans are following former USC Coach Pete Carroll and his new situation with the Seattle Seahawks. By following a team or watching only their games or only watch the Sunday Night National broadcast you can also keep a limit for how much is watched by yourself and others.

-- Menu planning. If the game of the week involves a team with a regional culinary dish there you go. Use teams colors or mascots for inspiration too. Playing the Eagles, try a green chicken salad, or just do something with Philly cream cheese or a cheesesteak. Southwestern dishes if you're game is being played in Texas, Arizona, or California. Chili anyone? Clam Chowder in Sourdough Bread for a 49'er game or for the Patriots, Citrus if Miami is playing and if Tennessee plays just select your favorite Elvis Presley snack.

I think you'll be good at this one...

-- Socialize. Football is more fun to watch with a group of friends. It can also be a good way to meet new people. It can also be a way for you to get yourself more involved with your buisness or by considering some of the many ways to actually earn extra money around the games. Many restraunts will offer deals or specials during games or a special rebate if you show a ticket stub to a local game. There was a recent news story about a need to find more qualified nutrition experts in the football industry to help better feed and train players. Innovative trainers are always needed too. Just because all players run with parachute drag in practice and not just the cutting edge doesn't mean there isn't something still to find.

-- Side Hobby. I often play guitar during games because I find it to be a good use of time, especially with all of the commercials. Sometimes I will do a little work out during the games or call, text or email friends and family who live in other areas to say hello or tell them how bad their team is. Plus if you miss some action there are a number of websites and highlight shows besides our mobile phones to stay in the loop and catch up.

Don't forget that the Major League Baseball is closing in on the play-offs. For tips and ways to enjoy the season don't forget to listen to our Sports Segment near the end of the Healthylife.net News@7 Monday through Friday 7am, 7pm PT and on-demand all day.

Labor of Love: HealthyLife.net News@7

As another summer comes to a close many wonder where did the time go? Time and how we spend it is becoming just as important as how we use our financial resources, or make other healthy decisions on a daily basis. Children are going back to school a little sooner, and weather patterns have been changing recently too. Now it can be a challenge to find our rhythms that we are used to that can get us back on track.

The HealthyLife.net News@7 has been a "Labor of Love" for all involved since its launch in January 2010. Information is important and these days it takes a little more time to find the better news that is usually overlooked or goes unreported.

Every day of the week on HealthyLife.net News@7 there is a new and different feature with Heroes and Happy Living, Health news, Science and Technology, Environmental news, as well as, Arts and Entertainment. Guest opinions and daily updates are provided on World news, National topics plus Business and Sports News. If you’ve listened to HealthyLife.Net News@7 broadcast, I'm sure you know most of the information for potential news content that is considered by mainstream news media are topics that we feel are too saturated and therefore we are a bit more selective with our listener in mind.

Besides the information and content out there, we seem to be using technology at an ever increasing pace. We are all working with the choices of how we like to communicate and receive our basic and sometimes recreational news. It's really at a point where if you haven't done so recently, you have to do a tech inventory just to keep up with the basics today. I personally like being in a world where I can use the "older", if you will, medium of radio with a new twist of being online. Online radio can not only be listened to on your PC from any where in the world, but on your mobile phones and devices, as well as being accessed in many of the new cars - sitting in the background for your multi-tasking life style or in the foreground to soak it all in.

With the Fall season on our doorsteps it can be another chance to make some positive shifts in your life if you feel the need. I'm working on some steps behind the scenes here at the Network to make the HealthyLife.net News@7 even better for loyal listeners like you. Keep an eye on this Blog for more info and updates specifically relating to the Healthylife.net News@7 and its featured stories and topics. Your feedback here or on any of our social media sites is always encouraged as well.

Happy Labor Day (Don't work too hard).

While her mother was pregnant with Roberts, she and her husband ran an acting school for children in Decatur, Georgia. The children of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King attended the school. As a thank-you for their service, Mrs. King paid the hospital bill when Roberts' mother gave birth to Julia.

She has been nominated for many Golden Globe awards and has won 2 and as for the Oscars she has been nominated several times and won an Oscar for Erin Brockovich.

Chef Gordon Ramsey on HealthyLife.Net

FRIDAY, AUGUST 6 AT 7am & 7pm PT & ARCHIVED TUNE IN TO HEALTHYLIFE.NET News@7
http://www.healthylife.net/HRNnews7.html

You can count on Gayl Murphy to give you the headsup on what's happening with who in the Entertainment industry this week! Tune in to the A&E segment on HRN News@7 and you'll also hear an interview with Chef Gordon Ramsay - the Award winning British chef, restaurant owner and focus of the reality television show, "Hell's Kitchen"!

ABOUT GORDON RAMSAY
Gordon Ramsay has been awarded a total of 12 Michelin Stars and, in 2001, became one of only three chefs in the United Kingdom to hold three Michelin stars at one time. Ramsay was born in Johnstone, Scotland and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, England from the age of 5. Ramsay has described his early life as "hopelessly itinerant", as his family moved constantly due to the aspirations and failures of his father. In 1976, they finally settled in Stratford-upon-Avon where he grew up in the Bishopton area of town.

Ramsay played football and was first chosen to play under-14 football at age 12. He was chosen to play for Warwickshire. His football career was marked by a number of injuries, causing him to remark later in life, "Perhaps I was doomed when it came to football". In mid-1984, Ramsay had a trial with Rangers, the club he supported as a boy. He seriously injured his knee, smashing the cartilage during training. Ramsay continued to train and play on the injured knee, tearing a cruciate ligament during a squash game. He never fully recovered from the double injury.

By this time, Ramsay's interest in cooking had already begun, and rather than be known as "the football player with the gammy knee" at age 19, Ramsay paid more serious attention to his culinary education. In the late 1980s, he worked as a commis chef at the Wroxton House Hotel, then ran the kitchen and 60-seat dining room at the Wickham Arms. Ramsay then moved to London, where he worked in a series of restaurants until being inspired to work for the temperamental Marco Pierre White at Harveys.

After working at 'Harveys' Ramsay, tired of "the rages and the bullying and violence", decided that the way to further advance his career was to study French cuisine. In 2007, Ramsay opened his first Irish restaurant, Gordon Ramsay at Powerscourt, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Powerscourt, Co. Wicklow, Ireland.

In May 2008 Ramsay opened his first U.S. west coast restaurant, in Los Angeles, California. Situated in the former Bel-Age hotel on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, the hotel has been renovated and re-named The London West Hollywood. The restaurant is called Boxwood. Many episodes of Ramsay's U.S. series Hell's Kitchen are recorded in Southern California.

The End is Near for Europe?

by Linda Mackenzie
Most Traditional News Media are claiming gloom and doom with the Iceland volacano eruption. They remind me of the guy with the sign saying 'The End is Near!'

When you're on the street walking past this guy do you pay him any attention?

Some scientists say that the destination and duration of the volcanic plume depends primarily on wind and weather. The plume should get washed away by rain as it drifts eastward. Already airports are re-opening in Europe.

Having worked with major airlines for 18 years, with both domestic U.S. and worldwide carriers, I can say with validity that airlines know what they are doing when it comes to flying. They will not take risks with lives and will get "back to business" as soon as they possibly can.

HRN News@7 predicts that although this volcanic eruption is inconvenient and will have a minimal economic fallout, most things will be back to normal in a few days, albeit Iceland may have a little housekeeping to do.

Rare Rhino Pregnancy Gives Hope to Species

Andalas-Ratu love story proves conservation efforts can work

CINCINNATI and LOS ANGELES and SUMATRA, Indonesia, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Conservationists across the world are celebrating a pregnancy in one of the world's most endangered species, the Sumatran Rhino. The pregnancy of female Ratu, born in Indonesia, and male Andalas, the first of only three Sumatran rhinos born in captivity in more than 112 years, is giving hope to international rhino biologists. The breeding occurred at Indonesia's Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary (SRS) in Way Kambas National Park following months of gradual introduction by scent, sound, sight and physical proximity. The calf is expected to be born in May 2011.


This is no ordinary pregnancy. Ratu wandered into a village just outside Way Kambas National Park in 2006; Andalas was born at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2001, raised at the Los Angeles Zoo and then transferred to SRS in 2007. With help from Dr. Robin Radcliffe of the International Rhino Foundation's (IRF) Rhino Conservation Medicine Program, the then-5 1/2-year-old Andalas journeyed more than 10,000 miles on a 63-hour trip by plane, truck and ferry.


"A combination of sound science, international collaboration among government, non-profits, and zoos, as well as timing and personal chemistry, has led to this groundbreaking event," said Dr. Susie Ellis, IRF executive director. "Sumatran rhino numbers have decreased by more than 50 percent over the last 15 years in the wild."


The Sumatran rhino population is estimated at approximately 200 individuals in the wild and 10 currently in captivity worldwide. Ratu's pregnancy represents the hope for a future generation.


Dr. Terri Roth, director of Cincinnati Zoo's Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife (CREW) and vice president for IRF's Asia programs, has used her extensive training in reproductive biology to produce three Sumatran rhinos beginning with Andalas in 2001.


"Sumatran rhinos are very solitary by nature and aggressive towards one another except when a female is in estrus," said Dr. Roth. "Through science, we can determine when the female is ready to ovulate so she is paired with a male at the right time and fighting is minimized while the likelihood of conception is optimized. It is wonderful to see the science developed at CREW help our Indonesian colleagues achieve success in Sumatra."

OVERCOMING BAD DREAMS & THOUGHTS

By Daena Smoller


At the end of the last dream I had before I woke up this morning, I was walking back to someplace I can't now identify but it held people waiting for me. I stopped at some kind of storefront along the way to purchase a large container of liquid, like a huge container of antifreeze. I picked up the container and handed it and my money over to the guy behind the counter. He took both, rang up the sale and handed the container back to me. However, when I arrived at my destination, I bent over to place the container on the floor and found that not only was there no cap, but there was nothing in the bottle. I turned around and started on my way back to the store to rectify the matter with the swindler. But I never made it; I woke up before I reached my destination.

So I woke up pretty miffed...unfinished business and all that. I chalked up the aggravating dream as just a reminder of how I feel about others with whom I've had similar dealings over the last couple years ... for real. Well, it was either for that reason or the generous amount of pretzels I consumed before I went to bed last night.

When I got to my office and downloaded my first batch of emails for the day, the following "Thought for the Day" came through from the local community mailing list:

"Life is way too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so Love the people who treat you right and forgive the ones who don't."

Of course, it's a very lovely sentiment and a good rule of thumb for emotional well being. I think however, that when the treatment by others vastly exceeds something that just isn't nice, one should do what one can to make things right (like taking legal action when necessary) and apply the good thought of the day to normal life.

But for so many, applying the good thought of the day doesn't last more than a moment or so because frankly, real life isn't always that easy-going. That's why there's a plethora of on-going positive self-improvement and enlightenment programming on HealthyLife.net. For example, there's Lynn Andrews' show, KINDRED SPIRITS, which airs the 4th Tuesday of every month, part of the network's Visionary Series.

During KINDRED SPIRITS, Lynn Andrews takes you along on the path of the heart and coaches you on how to balance your physical and spiritual worlds in order to discover and grasp the amazing possibilities that open up to you as you explore the vastness and positive aspects of a powerful life. Check out this fascinating biographical information about Lynn Andrews:

Lynn V. Andrews is an internationally acclaimed best-selling author who has written 18 books published in 12 languages, a series of powerful meditation cards and over 20 meditation and teaching tapes. Her work is beloved by millions who have read her books over the several decades. Considered a preeminent teacher in the field of personal development, Lynn Andrews is a 21st Century shaman whose words reflect her path - a path of heart. She teaches and shows people how to live a life that is truly balanced, with one foot in the physical and one in the spiritual.

Shamanic knowledge and practice is at the very heart of creation. Throughout time, shamans have practiced the art of choreographing energy in a nonlinear field. It is Lynn's intention that we understand how all that is sacred in life weaves together within our world. For fifteen years, women and men from all over the world have gathered with Lynn for her annual Joshua Tree four-day retreat. In 1994, and thus The Lynn Andrews Center for Sacred Arts and Training (Mystery School) was created.

The opportunities are there for you to take control and make your life better and HealthyLife.net has the lion's share of such opportunities, just waiting for you to get involved. Check out the HealthyLife.net website and browse the fascinating shows and show hosts and chances are, HealthyLife.net programming will instantly become a favorite of yours. And don't forget to kick off your day the right way with the revolutionary new NEWS @ 7, a brand new feature of HealthyLife.net that is revolutionizing the broadcast news industry.

And one last personal piece of advice...lay off the pretzels before bedtime!

Positive Airwaves - HealthyLife.Net News @ 7

Upon reflection, you’ll find it a strange journey filled with many twists and turns which leads you towards your life’s purpose to serve mankind and the planet, with the bonus of personal spiritual growth along the way. And so it was for me…

I have always been a pioneer exploring new frontiers, whether it was being the first women in datacom engineering in any airline in the world (1977-1992), owning one of the 1st used PC stores in America (1983-1985), being the 1st women Sales Manager for the largest international telecom company in the world (1992-1995), starting one of the 1st all positive radio programs (1996-Present) to being President of the 1st dietary supplement manufacturing company to supply mind-body solutions with specialty supplements and audiovisualization tapes (1999-2002).

Since I have been Psychic since I was eight years old, I knew that the supplement company was coming to an end and that I would be left in a precarious financial position. I still wanted to help the people and the planet so I prayed to God to give me an answer as to what I should do next. I was told that although I could help thousands of people alone, that I was but a pinpoint of light. God wanted me to create a Lighthouse and bring top people together so we could shine the Light out to millions of people. So in 2002, on a wing and a prayer, I started one of the 1st all positive web talk radio networks - HealthyLife.Net. We are now syndicated and simulcast 24/7 on over 26 distribution channels (including being 1 of 300 providers for Microsoft’s Windows Media player Radio Tuner) and have over 40 seasoned TV, film, radio and national lecturer radio hosts like Dr. Bernie Siegel, Lynn Andrews, and Jonathan Goldman – all helping to bring light and solutions to the planet. So far we’ve reached over 32 million listeners.

Although I didn’t realize it at the time, with each job, I had slowly and methodically developed all the skills I needed to run HealthyLife.Net successfully for the long term, including the management skills of planning, implementing, supervising, directing and controlling.

One of the tricks I learned to be successful in spirit, life and business is to keep your feet on the ground and your head in the clouds. It is not enough just to be in Spirit, I needed to know and use the every day skills in running a business. I learned that if my business was not making money then unfortunately I had a hobby and so I had to learn about money. Both business and money do not possess emotions or ego. Running a successful business required me not only to understand this, but to act without my emotions or ego being tied to the decisions I made in and for my business.

In addition, there were so many times in my life where I could have had fame and fortune if I would have chosen to compromise the Light and my values. I walked away from starring roles in top TV shows which wanted me to fake or sensationalize my psychic abilities and being offered unbelievable monetary deals in business with dubious undertones - all that would have resulted in much money, fame and stoking my ego, but these things were not in truth, nor for the greater good of all. In each case I stood strong and refused to compromise in what I knew was right in Spirit.

With each business venture, especially with HealthyLife.Net because it is so much of the Light, there were many negative forces and negative people that showed up along the way to try to stop me. Some even told me that I could never do what I wanted to do in the way I wanted to do it. When each negative force, person or problem reared their ugly head, I persevered and found a way to go in, under or around them. I never gave up, never resorted to retribution and stood steadfast in my dream. I believed in myself, in what I was doing and was willing to do the work no matter how tough it became to realize my dream.

Even when the largest terrestrial radio company tried to steal my hosts, and another played with the security of my computer systems to try and bring down our radio stream, or when the radio industry didn’t give Healthylife.Net recognition I continued to take the path of least resistance. One-by-one the problems were resolved: the hosts didn’t leave, we installed a better security system and we were finally recognized in the radio industry with an article in Inside Radio and with multiple mentions in Radio & Records.

Two things are important to keep a business successful for the long term. One is to always stay ahead of the game, so about one-third of my time is spent in research of the radio, web and technology industry. The other is to always be innovative and bring something new to the mix. Each year in business we have added something new for our listeners: an interactive cyberspace clubhouse, a listener newsletter, a blog and social media groups.

This year we are bringing the World’s 1st all positive radio News Program called News@7 that is aired weekdays at 7am and 7pm Pacific Time. Believe me this is like starting another radio network within a network. I had to gather seasoned newscasters and reporters from KNX1070, CBS, NBC and Sirius. To avert possible copyright issues on our world, national, money matters, business and sports news we hired news editorial analysts from major current TV news programs. For our Super Segments on Healthy Living, Health, Science & Technology, Environment and Arts & Entertainment we had to hire specialized reporters. On our opinion segment we had to line up celebrities, politicians and noted experts, as well as the man (or woman) in the street. However, the most important and challenging thing about our news program is how we take current news stories and find the positive slant without the fear, skewed political views or advertiser driven content. I’ve been working on this project for two years and now after planning, implementing, supervising, directing and controlling - it is happening.

I believe that people want and need this type of news to stay connected and get the truth straight up. This should decrease the negativity on the planet just by people tuning in and creating a domino effect of the positive news we relay. Will this make a ton of money for me? This is not my top priority. My top priority is helping the people and the planet. If I totally believe in this, take the action and use good business skills then God will provide everything I need. By giving up the outcome and expectations and not putting my focus on trying to “consciously create” but instead just totally feel, know and trust that this will happen - I know I will be provided for no matter what.
