CHICO, CA, April 13, 2012 (Press-News.org) KZFR is a true "Live and Local" community radio station serving "the Sacramento Valley, the foothills and beyond". They boast live DJ's, support live music events across Northern California, and provide local non-profits with unprecedented access to the airwaves. They also maintain an important local news department with the responsible, truthful and non-biased reporting the public expects from community radio.
The logo update was accomplished and donated by local branding agency ID International whose mantra "Building bridges, developing brands" applies directly in this case. ID International Designer Mathew Jacobs says, "Community radio is very important. We want to get KZFR's station schedule on every refrigerator, and the sticker on every vehicle in the North State to bring the station's unique programming, once and for all, to the mindset of every resident of Northern California." The logo features a modern-looking green and black oval with clearly readable station call letters and their frequency 90.1 FM has been released. It is clean and green.
It is hoped by station General Manager Rick Anderson that the updated logo ultimately makes good local news and that newspapers and both analog and digital media sources pick up the story, assisting with the project's big public awareness goals. "We're planning on making a big splash about our great new logo for our Fall Pledge Drive," states Anderson, "so to make this happen in a big way we are going around to all our local media resources to make sure they all understand how interesting and important the story of KZFR is to the local public, and how we all need to team up to get the station's ID out there on everybody's mind once and for all."
"Community radio" emerged after World War II with a station that is widely recognized as starting the community radio movement, Pacifica Foundation's KPFA in Berkeley, California. Pacifica's founders were dissatisfied with the dominant networks' biased news coverage, and believed that serious music and literature was not given enough attention on radio or TV. So they set out to build a station to change that. By the 1960s, Pacifica had evolved to run successful stations in Berkeley, Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., and Houston. Noting their success, may other community groups then used the "Pacifica Model" to organize their own stations. This nationwide radio movement now includes special interest stations in most major US cities, stations operating on Indian reservations, stations broadcasting in different languages, and stations serving rural areas with a wide range of special interests.
Important facts about Community radio stations include that they are licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as "non-commercial educational" stations and are owned and operated by non-profit organizations. They emphasize public participation in programming decisions and provide access to members of the public to produce shows, train members of the public to produce radio, and use volunteers in many roles. They receive financial support from listeners, local business owners, and news and public affairs programs that focus on local issues and alternative perspectives on world and national issues.
If you are outside KZFR's Northern California's transmission area, have no worries as they now stream their unique programming live on the Internet from kzfr.org. You can go there, see the new logo, hear the station, and let their Management know that you support Community Radio for all.

One in 10 Truck Drivers Is Dangerously Sleep-Deprived While On the Road
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that over 100,000 police-reported crashes occur each year directly caused by drowsy driving, a condition some experts liken to driving drunk. The NHTSA does not have statistics that indicate when driver fatigue is merely a contributing factor, nor is it aware of how many drowsy driver car or truck accidents go unreported.
Drowsy driving can lead to:
-Unintended lane changes or veering onto the shoulder of the road
-Slower reaction ...

Tennessee's Statute of Limitations on Debt
Since the Great Recession, individuals of all ethnicities have taken on an increasing amount of debt to make ends meet.

Fortunately, most states have a statute of limitations on debt collection that can be a lifesaver for people struggling with debt.

Those who are struggling with debt often have to deal with constant phone calls and letters from creditors demanding payment.

New Negotiation Timelines in Connecticut Medical Malpractice Cases
The trajectory of any medical malpractice case depends on a series of factors: the complexity of the evidence proving the alleged harm, whether existing law provides clear answers about liability, and the insurance company's willingness to negotiate a solution that is fair to the injured party or surviving family members.
Negotiated settlements can provide important advantages to plaintiffs by reducing the stress and uncertainty of the legal process and providing necessary compensation more quickly ...

Is Your Doctor Telling You the Truth? Study Results May Surprise You

For example, television and print advertisements frequently depict doctors in white coats to add an appearance of intelligence and trustworthiness to whatever is being promoted. As a result, people are often dismayed and shocked when doctors commit errors and disappoint or harm their patients.
Results from nationwide studies of doctors were recently revealed in Health Journal, a monthly journal of health policy thought and research. The studies ...

The story circulates at a dinner party or over coffee: Someone goes to the hospital for routine care, a mistake is made at the medical facility and the person ends up in worse condition than when he or she was first admitted.
Minor mistakes -- that could be easily avoided -- can lead to disaster in medical facilities. Recently, a woman was so distressed by the number of mistakes made during her father's hospitalization that she wrote a book, creating checklists for monitoring care during a hospital ...

Plan Ahead: Colorado Cracks Down on Drunk Driving
What do Thanksgiving, the winter holiday season and Super Bowl Sunday have in common? While this might sound like the beginning of a joke, there is a much more serious theme running through each of these events: increased drinking and driving. During certain times of the year, the Colorado State Patrol and other state law enforcement agencies go after those who get behind the wheel after drinking at office parties, family gatherings or the big game.
Local police departments and sheriff's offices were also be out in ...

Caps on Medical Malpractice Claims May Hurt Claimants in New York
At our nation's capital, politicians battle over health care reform. In the midst of heated discussions, lobbyists with the health care industry -- funded by large pharmaceutical companies, HMOs and the like -- are pushing for medical malpractice caps. Health care providers, doctors and hospitals are protected by these caps, which limit the amount of money that injured patients who prevail in medical malpractice cases may be awarded.
Many states have already established laws in an attempt to limit the ...
