Well, I have finally made the big time in the Twitterverse. A prominent Reuters news service financial writer has mentioned me on his official Reuters blog. This is exciting!
Felix Salmon writes about financial news for a global audience via the famed and venerable British news service Reuters. In his 22 March 2012 blog he wrote about Twitter becoming more annoying and mentioned me as the poster boy for those who are both annoyed by Twitter tweeters and, apparenty, also annoying. To him at any rate.
Here is the blog:
http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2012/03/22/why-twitter-will-get-more-annoying/#comment-37238
And this was Mr. Salmon's reference to me:
"And then there are people like Porter Versfelt III, who will get annoyed if I dare to express a personal opinion on Twitter. For Mr Versfelt, I have a “core purpose” on Twitter, which is to provide him with financial news, and anything I do outside that purpose is annoying.
Going forwards, all of us are going to find Twitter increasingly annoying. "
This was the tweet I made in reference to Felix Salmon at 12:07 AM on 22 March and what he was responding to on his blog:
"@felixsalmon What does Trayvon Martin have to do with financial news? Can you plz stick to your core purpose here?"
Mr. Salmon had tweeted this:
"Prosecute the killer of our son, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin http://www.change.org/petitions/prosecute-the-killer-of-our-son-17-year-old-trayvon-martin?share_id=zRMaJTMMzv&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=twitter I'm signature 960,458. Let's make it a million."
This was my reply in the comments section of his blog that mentioned me:
"Hey Felix, thanks so much for mentioning me in your blog.
The reason that I tweeted Wednesday evening about your "core purpose" being '... to provide him (me) with financial news ...' was because the public description of your Twitter account is this:
'Felix Salmon is the finance blogger at Reuters.'
Your tweets about the Trayvon Martin shooting incident in Florida had absolutely nothing to do with the financial world in my opinion. As a journalist of some 30 years of experience, I DO find journalists who interject personal editorialization into their work as, yes ... annoying. ;)
I never tweeted that YOU were 'annoying', by the way, as your blog here hints at. :)
So thanks for the free publicity sir. This is a first in my brief Twitterverse career. I now consider myself a Twitter "professional" now that a Reuters reporter has taken the time and effort to present me to the world as someone who annoys him. :)
Sincerely,
Porter Versfelt III
Versfelt Communications Group
Atlanta, Georgia - USA"
Now, back to tweeting. Let's see who I can annoy next. ;)

Gulfstream's Aviation Career Day Is A Good Flight Path
I am so glad to see that Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in Savannah, Georgia have changed their attitude about communicating with the general public.
Back in 1995, working as a freelance TV producer for Georgia Public Television on the education TV series GEORGIA STORIES, I contacted Gulfstream's head of public relations about doing a show about them and their excellent aircraft.
The focus was on teaching 8th graders about economics with a history bent. I thought Gulfstream would be a perfect Georgia success story to showcase in our show.
Instead, I was told that Georgia 8th graders were not in their client demographic and that Gulfstream was not interested in working with GPTV on a documentary about their company.

CNN's Soledad O'Brien - "Social Change" Journalist?
This is an interesting examination of one well-known CNN news anchor and her supposed objectivity.
Michelle Malkin's analysis here rings true, as I have witnessed and experienced this same kind of behaviour among TV anchors and journalists whom I have worked with over the years - from Missouri to Miami and Abilene (Texas) to Atlanta, including at CNN.
Anecdotally, it is interesting to note that many TV photojournalists (TV news cameramen) are often much more conservative than their in-front-of-the-camera, hair-sprayed colleagues.
Malkin writes in her piece (see full article link below):
" ... If you don’t accept the left-leaning agenda of “social change” journalism, you’re enabling racism. If you don’t support the pursuit of racial hiring goals as a primary journalistic and academic goal, you’re selling out."
"Now you know the reason for O’Brien’s thin-skinned reaction to Obama’s critics. When you vet the president, you vet the media. And they don’t like the narrative table-turning one bit."
http://michellemalkin.com/2012/03/14/whats-the-matter-with-soledad-obrien/
It is mind-blowing to me that so many in TV news - both on the network and local levels - cannot see that their on-air advocacy hurts their brand, their credibility and ultimately, the reputation of journalism overall in the United States of America.
Update @ 1413 14 March 2012:
Upon reading this blog, a colleague reminds me not to paint ALL TV journalists with the same broad brush and that many are "moderate" rather than liberal.
I respectfully disagree.
In my 30 years of professional experience in news and regular media, and observing them to present-day, I see that on-air TV journalists - anchors and reporters - are more often than not liberal, especially on the network level. The "system" and corporate culture seems to weed the conservatives out of high-profile, decision-making and public positions.
I have met many, many closet conservatives while working at CNN, NBC and ABC News, local TV news in Miami and Atlanta, and in "Hollywood". I am often approached on the "down-low" by them, eager to speak to a kindred conservative soul in such a liberal profession where they dare not reveal their true beliefs without risking their jobs. In my view it is the new McCarthyism.
One of the reasons I chose to leave regular TV news employment was because of its inherent and pervasive liberality. Off-air comments and discussions among newsroom staff were often disparaging and jaded about anyone or any group who didn't agree with their world-view.
While objectivity isn't an absolute of course, one CAN try, and in my experience, many (not most) TV news reporters and producers don't try very hard today.

SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT SOLAR STORMS?
Most of you are probably not aware that the biggest solar flare or CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) of solar particles since a least 2000 left the sun Tuesday night and is en route to Earthy as we speak.
The peak of this solar storm will be around 7AM ET Thursday 08 March 2012. Nothing to wish for.
What could happen? Massive loss of communications satellites, terrestrial cell phone service and electrical power outages. This isn't unprecedented. Look up the "Super Storm of 1859 when a similar CME event knocked out American telegraph service nationwide.
Geologic studies have found multiple past solar storms have hit the Earth before humans roamed it in the geologic record. It was not a good outcome for the life that existed then.
I'm not saying this event is a civilization-killer, but one must keep in mind that an X5 solar flare is nothing to cheer or look forward to, unless you are an astronomy nerd. :).
Also, satellite owners will literally put their birds into protection mode, turning their backs on the on-coming solar wind. Some services may shut down while the storm passes, others close shields over vulnerable electronics. There is no 100% protection for anything manmade in space. Also, the ISS astronauts will have to go into their radiation-proof safe room on the space station. The Earth's magnetic field should shield us from the radiation here on the Earth's surface.
What can you do about it? Nothing. Perhaps if you have very valuable shortwave or other electronic gear you might want to unplug all electrical, cable/sat TV, telephone landline cables and DSL/Internet cables connecting to the outside world to prevent damage.
On a positive note, if you live in the northern Hemisphere tonight, look up. You may have your only chance to see an Aurora (Northern Lights) in the mid-western/upper mid-western USA. Canada and Alaska? Definitely.

This web site is also a great place for solar watchers ... http://www.space.com/14818-solar-flare-magnetic-storm-satellites.html
From Wikipedia about past big solar storms:
"The most powerful flare ever observed was the first one to be observed, on September 1, 1859, and was reported by British astronomer Richard Carrington and independently by an observer named Richard Hodgson. The event is named the Solar storm of 1859, or the "Carrington event". The flare was visible to a naked-eye (in white light), and produced stunning auroras down to tropical latitudes such as Cuba or Hawaii, and set telegraph systems on fire.[11] The flare left a trace in Greenland ice in the form of nitrates and beryllium-10, which allow its strength to be measured today (New Scientist, 2005). Cliver & Salvgaard (2004) reconstructed the effects of this flare and compared with other events of the last 150 years. In their words: While the 1859 event has close rivals or superiors in each of the above categories of space weather activity, it is the only documented event of the last ∼150 years that appears at or near the top of all of the lists."
"In modern times, the largest solar flare measured with instruments occurred on November 4, 2003. This event saturated the GOES detectors, and because of this its classification is only approximate. Initially, extrapolating the GOES curve, it was pegged at X28.[12] Later analysis of the ionospheric effects suggested increasing this estimate to X45.[13] This event produced the first clear evidence of a new spectral component above 100 GHz.[14] Other large solar flares also occurred on April 2, 2001 (X20),[15] October 28, 2003 (X17.2 & X10),[16] September 7, 2005 (X17),[17] February 17, 2011 (X2).[18][19][20] and August 10, 2011 (X6.9).[21] In 1989, during solar cycle 22 two large flares occurred on March 6 (X15) (see: March 1989 geomagnetic storm) and August 16 (X20) causing disruptions in electric grids and computer systems.[22]"

More So-Called Blogosphere "Journalism" Hurts The Real Deal

Atlanta Now On The Map For Movie & TV Production
NEW MOVIE STUDIO COMING TO ATLANTA
Move over Hollywood!
Many of us in the movie and TV production community here in Atlanta knew months ago that EUE/Screen Gems planned to lease the property at the former Lakewood Fairgrounds near downtown for production. Now it is official.
The Atlanta Journal-Constituion has published an article claiming that this is the first "state-of-the-art" movie production facility in Atlanta. Well, not quite. Not yet.
http://www.ajc.com/business/ready-for-your-close-528580.html
Riverwood Studios in Senoia, Georgia south of Atlanta has been operational for years. The Tyler Perry Studios and huge backlot with standing street sets opened in November 2008. While Riverwood is open to the public for rental and while Mr. Perry's studio is not, his facility is the latest up-to-date production complex in Atlanta.
Word on the street is that Screen Gems will first produce a FAST AND FURIOUS sequel at their new Lakewood complex using existing buildings. State-of-the-art upgrades and new construction will come at some point in the future.
Versfelt Communications Group shot for EUE/Screen Gems at the 2008 BET Hip Hop Awards held in Atlanta. The focus was on the stars and creative executives behind NOTORIOUS who attended the awards event and a lavish after-party at an Atlanta mansion.
Many in the film and TV production community and the Georgia Production Partnership (GPP) have worked hard for many years to encourage production in Atlanta and Georgia. The lobbying for the state-wide film production tax incentives worked in a big way. In 2008 and 2009 Atlanta hosted more productions here than Los Angeles did.
Hollywood is looking east and south. Not a week goes by that I don't receive many job applicants from experienced movie and TV production people defecting to Atlanta.
Let's hope that the new competition for jobs won't freeze out Atlanta-based crew who are very qualified as well.
Here are more stories about the Screen Gems move:

Christmas Evening Thoughts
It is very late Christmas night and I am the only one awake in the house. At times like this, especially this time of year, it is natural to think of the past.
Reading the comments tonight on a web forum to the posting of a very graphic video from Australia about drunk driving, I thought back to my cub TV reporter days.
In 1980 in Abilene, Texas (United States) I worked as Chief Photographer and Police Reporter for the NBC TV affiliate there, KRBC-TV.
In my short career as a photojournalist up to that point I had covered more than my share of tragic traffic accidents for nightly newscasts.
One particular cold and rainy night I once again got out of a warm bed in the wee hours of the morning after my police scanner announced yet another fatal wreck outside town. I slept with my scanner on in those days. Now, I don't know how I did it.
The accident was caused by a drunk driver. A male driver of the other car - the victim in this crash - was killed. We had a rule not to show graphic film (we shot colour 16mm film back then) of dead bodies. However, this night I deviated from that rule slightly.
I wanted to make a statement about the senselessness of drunk driving. So after shooting all of the usual shots of wrecked cars, car parts strewn along the highway, police and flashing police lights to illustrate the story, I shot one more shot.
It was an extreme close-up of the dead driver's hand, hanging limply out of the shattered window. A small dribble of blood trickled down the back of his hand. I did not show his face or a wide-shot of his body slumped at the wheel.
The story aired at 6 pm the next day and created a firestorm. The local newspaper had a front-page, above-the-fold story about the controversy about this one short 2-3 second film shot in my story. The newspaper and many people in Abilene didn't approve of showing the dead man's hand.
I understood then and still understand their complaint. Looking back some thirty years now it seems like it was such an innocent time then in America compared to what is seen on television today. However, I still believe I did the right thing.
I made my point. Later, the families of the victims of drunk driving accidents thanked me also.
By the way, the drunk driver who caused the accident survived, as so many of them do.
So now through New Year's eve, please don't drive even the least bit tipsy. Your family and those of others will thank you for it.
Merry Christmas.
NOTE: I have linked the Australian DUI public service TV ad here. It is VERY graphic, but so effective in making its lesson clear.
