SAN JOSE, Calif. — When university student Bryce Wilson learned that the promise of his $40,000 scholarship had evaporated in the poor economy and a complicated probate case, he initially cursed and calculated his new cost of college. Continue Reading

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The hype that preceded the launch of Google’s Nexus One seems to have fizzled.

The gadget that was hailed before it debuted as Google’s long-awaited answer to Apple’s uber-popular iPhone has seen disappointing sales. Google sold just 20,000 Nexus Ones worldwide in the first week after it launched, according to Flurry, a company that collects data on the sales and use of smart phone applications. In contrast, Flurry estimates that consumers bought 1.6 million of the iPhone 3GS in the first week after that phone debuted in June. Continue Reading

LOS ANGELES — Fox, never one to miss an opportunity to make a competitor’s life more difficult, has indicated that if Conan O’Brien wants to leave NBC, it would be happy to talk.

O’Brien, who is being asked to move “The Tonight Show” from 11:35 p.m. to 12:05 a.m. to make room for Jay Leno’s return to late night, has not made up his mind on whether he’ll take one for the team or take a walk. Leno’s moving back to late night because NBC affiliates are beyond frustrated with his 10 p.m. show and what its ratings are doing to their late local news.

Of course, Fox has toyed with late night before (Chevy Chase, anyone?), and quietly telling inquiring reporters that “Conan would be a great fit for Fox” could be just as much about annoying NBC chiefs Jeff Zucker and Jeff Gaspin as about trying to start its own late-night franchise.

Fox couldn’t just jump into the late-night game. It would have to ask, and in some cases beg, its affiliates for the time to carry a late show. The stations won’t hand over that time just out of the goodness of their hearts. Furthermore, Fox is already asking (or is it demanding?) that its affiliates give it a cut of any money they get from cable operators for carrying their signals. The logic is that because Fox provides the affiliates with programming, it should get a cut of any money distributors pay them to carry the signal.

While Fox is spinning one thing, it is unclear whether the brass at its parent company News Corp. are really that interested in getting into this game. It’s true the network made a run at Conan six years ago (a move that led NBC to anoint Conan as Jay Leno’s eventual successor, which led NBC to put Leno in prime time, which led to the mess NBC currently finds itself in), but the company may have different priorities now.

If Fox does seriously go after O’Brien, it won’t be cheap. Yes, NBC may have big penalties to pay O’Brien if he were to be bounced from “The Tonight Show.” But right now NBC is only talking about bouncing O’Brien out of his time slot, not the show (so tricky!). NBC could even bench O’Brien for a couple of years if he does want to leave, although it would be more likely to try to extract big payment from whoever wants his services.

Everyone has a secret. Frank Warren will share the ones he has collected from people around the world through his PostSecret Project during a lecture at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Thursday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. in Volker Hall Lecture Room A, 1670 University Blvd.

Tickets for the lecture, “The Most Trusted Speaker in America: Frank Warren’s ‘PostSecret,’” are free for UAB students, faculty and staff with a UAB ID and $10 each for the general public. Tickets can be purchased 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday in the UAB Hill University Center Ticket Office, adjacent to the main lobby, at 1400 University Blvd. The UAB Lecture Series and the Films & Novelties Committee sponsor the event.

Warren is the founder and curator of the PostSecret Project, in which he invites people from every walk of life to send him creatively decorated postcards bearing secrets they have never told anyone. So far, Warren has collected more than 200,000 of the highly personal postcards mailed to him anonymously.

In 2006, his PostSecret blog, postsecret.blogspot.com, which receives more than 3 million visitors every month, was awarded six weblog awards, including “Best American Blog” and “Blog of the Year.” Warren’s first book, PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions From Ordinary Lives (ReganBooks) became a New York Times bestseller. He followed it up with The Secret Lives of Men and Women: A PostSecret Book and A Lifetime of Secrets. His traveling exhibition of PostSecret cards was called by The Washington Post, “One of the five best art shows in 2005.”

The All-American Rejects approached Warren about using actual PostSecret images in their “Dirty Little Secret” music video in 2005. They offered Warren $1,000, but instead he asked them to donate $2,000 to 1(800)SUICIDE, where he volunteered. The donation was made and the music video became one of the most requested on MTV. Warren has now released another PostSecret book focusing on religion and spirituality, PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God.

Warren continues to receive between 100 and 200 postcards every day. He updates his Web site on Sundays and is working to produce four more PostSecret books. He continues to call himself an “accidental artist” because he has no artist background or training.

“I have been asked many times why I started this,” he said. “It still feels to me as though this project found me. All I try to do is make the right decisions every day to protect the integrity of the project - and learn to trust the journey.”

Warren has appeared on the Today Show, 20/20, CNN, MSNBC, ABC’s The View, CBC, NPR, and Fox News. USA Today called Warren, “an award-winning blogger, a first-time author, an artist with a traveling exhibit, a possible documentary subject, the inspiration for a music video and the all-around media ‘it’ boy of the moment.”

In 2009, Forbes magazine listed him as the No. 4 most popular “Web celeb,” behind celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, tech blogger Michael Arrington and Kevin Rose, the founder of Digg.com.

The Birmingham City Council recently voted unanimously to revoke Club Zen’s business license declaring it a public nuisance after the stabbing of 21-year-old Kelvyn Felder.

Felder died from the stabbing wounds inflicted on him at the Morris Avenue nightclub on Aug. 30. According to District 5 Councilman Johnathan Austin, no motive has been determined for the stabbing.

“No one knows exactly what happened but the parties involved, and out of respect for the family, I care not to speculate,” Austin said.

The council spent four hours at the Sept. 22 meeting listening to opinions of citizens and two off-duty police officers who were present the night of the fatal club stabbing.

“It was a public hearing item and during public hearings everyone that wishes to speak can do so,” Austin said. “After a lengthy public hearing with dozens of speakers voicing support and opposition of Club Zen, the council voted to revoke the business licenses of Club Zen.”

Club Zen attorney Francois Bladeau said he disagrees with the council’s decision and even left early to begin preparing a case to “file other actions against the city and mayor.”

“Selective prosecution of a business by government or the arbitrary and capricious revocation of a business license by government are actions that business owners can challenge by way of injunctive relief by going to the circuit court,” Bladeau said.

He said he felt taking further action is important for Club Zen and hopefully other businesses in the area.

“We cannot allow abuse of power to go unchecked,” Bladeau said. ”In the end, I
am confident that the truth will show that there were political reasons behind the revocation of the business license…and just maybe….a couple of tough-minded lawyers will be able to protect the constitutional rights of Zen Nightclub and its owner Adam Townsend. It’s always tough to fight City Hall.”

Bladeau claimed the council’s reason for closing the club was a “carefully executed plan” by Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford, who is currently facing criminal bribery charges.

“The closing of Club Zen was mob rule at its finest,” Bladeau said. ”It is an example of why the signers of the Constitution sacrificed so much to protect the ideals of this country in drafting this incredible document. Thankfully, since we live in the United States and not Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela, Mayor Langford is going to be given the opportunity to answer questions in a courtroom under oath about his actions.”
Austin said the council had other reasons to close the club.

“(The) council cited various reasons including violation of the club liquor class two license and private club laws and concerns from nearby residents,” he said.

“The Birmingham News” states in its Sept. 23 article, “Police reports stated that 46 criminal incident reports associated with the club were filed from Jan. 1, 2008, through Sept. 2. Most of them were for misdemeanors. Before Felder’s death, all of the assaults at the club in the past one and one-half years were misdemeanors, reports showed, and no one was seriously injured.”

Club Banana Joe’s lost its license in 2008 after two died from a shooting caught on video outside the club that summer.
