Thursday show...

Here's what we're talking about today:

Researchers at the University of Chicago believe that YOU have a built-in predjudice to people with HEAVY ACCENTS.  In their tests, they found that when you hear a thick foreign accent, it makes you think that person is LESS TRUTHFULL than someone without one.  Hmmmm....

Stupid News stars 73 year old Patricia Robertson who is now known as the "fightback Granny."

A new game coming up at 745 called "Steve or Teri"....good luck!




Hollywood Trash!

Lindsay could get out Monday, Idol is being sued for $300 million and...



Did Michael Jackson Father Diana Ross's Niece?
 
There's a new woman claiming to be one of MICHAEL JACKSON'S secret children. And she's the niece of MICHAEL'S good friend DIANA ROSS.
 
 Mocienne Petit Jackson claims that Michael conceived her with Diana's sister Barbara back in 1975, when he was only 17.
 
But she says that when she was 9-years-old, Katherine Jackson had her abducted and taken to Belgium so her existence couldn't ruin Michael's reputation. 
 
Oh, and all seven of the men who carried out her abduction were later MYSTERIOUSLY MURDERED.
 
Mocienne . . . who currently lives in the Netherlands . . . wants a DNA test to prove she's Michael's daughter. Obviously, she wants in on Michael's inheritance. 
 
She also wants custody of Michael's kids, so she can, quote, "give them a more normal life."
 
 . . . and there's this: Mocienne claims SHE has that skin condition, vitiligo, just like Michael did.
 
 


 




Here's Monday again!!


Here's that story on Facebook usage at work from:

http://mashable.com/2010/07/23/cisco-security-report/


Cisco’s 2010 Midyear Security Report found that workers in the enterprise are accessing their favorite social networking sites on company-issued equipment even when corporate policies prohibit them from doing so.

In fact, 50% of surveyed employees confessed to ignoring company social media policies at least once per week. 27% of respondents went the extra mile to reconfigure the settings on corporate devices so as to access forbidden content or applications.

The Cisco report primarily focuses on network security. On that front, it concludes, "Social networking, virtualization, cloud computing and a heavy reliance on mobile devices continue to have a dramatic impact on the ability of information technology departments to maintain effective network security."

The social networking side of the report is especially interesting. The research sheds light on how the popularity of games like FarmVille is contributing to lost productivity during the workday and introducing new security risks.

7% of the sample who access Facebook at work, "spend an average of 68 minutes per day" playing FarmVille. Mafia Wars and Cafe World also proved to be extremely distracting; the former is played by 5% of survey participants for an average of 52 minutes per day, while the latter (4 % of the sample) spend 36 minutes each day on game play.

Social networking at work is not all fun and games. On the issue of new security risks, Cisco warns, "Social networks remain a playground for cybercriminals, with an increasing number of attacks. New threats are now emerging from a more dangerous criminal element: terrorists."


Aren't you grateful this wasn't YOUR weekend!

In Colorado, A Family Gets Carjacked . . . By A Bear

On Friday, the Story family in Larkspur, Colorado, was carjacked by . . . A BEAR.  Apparently, the bear smelled a peanut butter sandwich in the backseat of the Storys' 2008 Toyota Corolla.  The car was in the family's driveway;  they were asleep at the time.Deputies came and were able to get the bear out by using a rope to open the door from a safe distance.  The bear completely trashed the interior of the car before he got out . . . and left, "a present" on the driver's seat.




Friday fun!

YAY!!!  It's Friday!!  :)


18th-Century Ship Found at Trade Center Site

Construction crews discovered this week the remains of a 200-plus-year-old vessel!


Could Bristol & Levi be shopping around for a reality show??  Would it surprise anyone really??



Happy Hump day!! 

**BREAKING NEWS!!**
Does Angelina's tattoo say "Whiskey Bravo"? Brad's real name is William Bradley Pitt.  In the military alphabet, W is Whiskey, and B is Bravo.  So "WB" are Brad's first and middle initials.  Hmmmmm....



It's Tuesday!!

Brad Pitt shaves off his beard!!  THANK YOU BRAD!!





Happy Monday!!  Teri and Bethany (& much coffee!) this morning!!

Angelina has a new tattoo, and it's (dun dun DUNNNN) shrouded in mystery!  All she'll say is that "It's for Brad."  Hmmm...  What do you think it says?

Kate Plus 8 and... chickens??  As if the woman wasn't busy enough!! We found some pictures of their new chicken coop / ingenious discipline idea!  Apparently whomever misbehaves, cleans the coop poop!  Way to go Kate!

From KNE Clips, we heard from 53 year old Betty Walters who left her kids at a McDonald's Playplace in Ohio for an hour and a half...while she was getting her nails done across the street.  Comments?  steve@wkne.com

Here are some photos from the Megan Fox/Brian Austin Green wedding:









Happy Humpday!!

Steve and I decided this is a must have for the morning show... now to requisition a larger studio....






Back to work for Tuesday...

Top topic today- the heat!

Pat Pagano says blistering heat through Friday.  Upper 90's today and a balance of 85-90 through the rest of the week!

In KNE Clips, we had fun with Joey Chestnut the hot dogger, Jake being a jerk to Vienna and the best from "Last Comic Standing"

Today's "No name riddle trivia game thing" was "Forewards I am heavy, but backwards I am NOT"   Did you guess the word "TON"?  I knew you did!

Here are those tips for talking to new people:

#1.) SMILE AND WAVE. 90% of communication is non-verbal. And even raising an eyebrow sends a message. But if someone catches your eye from across the room, smiling at them is the easiest way to let them know you're interested.  
 
 
#2.) SPEAK FIRST. If YOU'RE the one who starts the conversation, you'll look confident even if you're really nervous. But it's best if you're actually comfortable doing it, so don't be afraid to practice on people you're NOT attracted to first. It's a lot easier.
 
 
#3.) SAY SOMETHING THEY CAN RESPOND TO. If you're in the checkout line and you say something about how slow it's moving, you might get a friendly nod.
 
 
--But it leaves the ball in their court if you say something like, "I'll bet you a candy bar this takes longer than ten minutes." The idea is to start a conversation, not just throw out an observation.  
 
 
#4.) STOP TALKING. Most people like talking about themselves, so once you've said something, ask a few questions and shut up. It makes the conversation a lot easier.


Here is the link for the "Jake/Vienna" transcript:

Thursday July 1

Does your dog act like a cat or something else?  Fun topic this morning...you can get in on the conversation at the KNE Facebook page or email too

In Hollywood Trash, the top stories we're talking about are:

-Elin will get $750,000,000 from Tiger in the divorce settlement...but she can't ever talk about his behavior.

-Piers Morgan will be the next Larry King?

-Bill Murray says what we're all thinking...there are just too many famous people now.

In Stupid News,

Arrested how many times??

Paul Baldwin should have his Miranda rights memorized by now.  He’s been arrested for the 154th time!!  Baldwin was arrested in Kittery, Maine for allegedly stealing two 18-packs and a 12-pack of beer from a convenience store.  Baldwin’s criminal record includes 8 trespass notices, 75 citations, 4 Social Security aliases and convictions for thefts, receiving stolen property, arson and criminal mischief!! 

Maybe he should learn to knit the next time he has a prison stint!!

"Lady" Gaga??

The question on everyone's mind after seeing these pics is probably the same. Is that really Lady Gaga?

These photos are reportedly of Lady Gaga for Vogue Hommes Japan. A photographer snapped the photos in London and it shows a "man" posing under the pseudonym “Jo Calderone.” Hmmmm.....
