The stream went great! TriCaster was easy to use and the Arena Football League Interns even got in on the streaming action. After about 5 min of explanation all three interns switched an entire segment of the show. I think they are ready to run everything on their own tomorrow.. My work here is done. 😉

AP released a VERY interesting article today entitled “Pittsburgh cancer center warns of cell phone risks”. Click HERE to read.
The FDA claims that there is no risk in using cell phones but Dr. Ronald B. Herberman, director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute diagrees. He has issued a memo to his 3,000 faculty and staff with contraray view to the FDA.
In the memo he urges people to limit cell phone use and for children to only use cell phones in emergency situations.
Something interesting for us to consider!
