Time is more valuable than money. One can acquire additional money. One cannot acquire additional time. Since Platinum Bunny Multimedia’s inception, I have enhanced my portfolio with exciting and intensive, yet unanticipated projects. Culture Popped, Googling Atlee Hammaker, and Gossip CBUS’ requirements conflict with these projects and therefore compromise must occur.
Generation Chatter , via a one hour weekday webcast and my twitter, will unite Culture Popped’s expansive opinion, Googling Atlee Hammaker’s expeditious comedy, and Gossip CBUS’ social and special event coverage. My twitter account, which averages over fifty tweets per day, has been operational since earlier this month. Generation Chatter’s initial webcast will occur on Monday.
In our modern online environment, one must remain nimble and properly allocate every moment. While Culture Popped, Googling Atlee Hammaker, and Gossip CBUS archives will remain available, their practical existence has concluded. Generation Chatter and my twitter will serve as my public method of communication. This announcement and decision will continue my current interests and permit supplementary projects.

Mad Men: A Southwestern City Schools Benefit Synopsis
Combining 1960s cultural commentary on the hit show Mad Men with real-time Columbus community needs, a local fundraiser/watch party will premiere the third season of the AMC hit at Renaissance Hotel Bar 41 on Sunday, August 16, starting at 9 p.m. A $5 suggested donation at the event will benefit Citizens for South-Western City Schools.
Nominated for a stunning 16 Emmy Awards… Local “maddicts” are buzzing about the show, airing from 10 p.m – 11 p.m. on widescreen TVs during the watch party in Mynt’s chic bar space. Whether you’re a suit or a skirt, don your fedoras or white gloves and get ready for a swanky, scintillating evening of chit-chat and cocktails to benefit a timely local cause.
“I’m fascinated by the depiction of the glory days of advertising on Madison Avenue, with the drama that accompanied gender roles in the workplace and a home during a cultural revolution of shifting family values in the 1960s,” said event organizer Crystal Olig, of Westerville.
Come early and stay late to sip a Tom Collins or Manhattan in Don Draper style. Show off chic 60's vintage gear that would make Joan Holloway jealous. Prizes will be awarded for best outfit, best MadMenYourself.com avatar (must be posted to the event's Facebook wall) and more.
“When we were starting to put the event together, right after the failed vote on Issue 2, we decided to try and help South-Western City Schools however we could,” said co-organizer Bridget Weizer-Granger.
Mad Men Synopsis
The series revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper (Jon Hamm), the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values.

South Western Schools Will Revisit Levy
10 TV: The South-Western City Schools board of education voted on Wednesday night to proceed with placing a levy issue before voters for the third time this year. The proposed 7.4-mill levy would be headed to the November ballot once the board gives final approval at a scheduled meeting Thursday night…
The new levy is lower than the 8.3-mill levy rejected by voters in May and again in August. In addition to reducing the levy amount, the school board plans to introduce a pay-to-participate option for athletics and other extracurricular activities, which were eliminated after the previous two levy defeats.
Hundreds of mostly pro-levy supporters gathered at Wednesday night's board meeting to hear how the board plans to sell the levy to a bitterly divided community. If passed in November, the new levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home an additional $227 a year.

10 TV: A man was arrested and charged Wednesday in connection with the death of a 4-month-old girl. Izabella Fields died on July 29 after she was transported to Nationwide Children's Hospital from a home on Snyder Court, located on the city's northeast side. An autopsy later revealed that the child died from head trauma and her death was ruled a homicide, police said.

Sexual Monster Is Sentenced
NBC 4: A man who said he has had sex with 800 to 900 women over the past seven years was sentenced Thursday. Edwin “Gene” Zimmerman, 47, was sentenced to 20 years in prison without the chance for parole.
He was sentenced in Franklin County Common Pleas Court on two first-degree felony rape charges and one attempted rape charge. Judge Richard Frye also fined him $35,000 and labeled him as a sexual predator. He pleaded guilty to those charges Monday, June 22.
Zimmerman, 46, was arrested Thursday, July 3, 2008, after two women said they were abducted for sex. When he was arrested, Zimmerman told investigators he had slept with 800 to 900 women during the past seven years. Investigators said Zimmerman claimed to have targeted homeless women and prostitutes on the city’s West Side.
Zimmerman’s criminal record is long and violent, according to authorities. In 1985, Zimmerman was charged with sexual battery. He also has been charged with numerous counts of domestic violence, although many were dismissed because his victims refused to testify. Zimmerman was convicted in 2005 for aggravated assault.

Morton’s Shutters Steakhouse
10 TV: Morton's closed its downtown steakhouse on Wednesday… The company's Web site no longer listed a Columbus location and a manager at the restaurant confirmed the closure…
The restaurant had been in a fierce competition with other local steakhouses, including those from local restaurateur Cameron Mitchell, Hyde Park and national chains Ruth's Chris and Smith and Wollensky. Morton's was affected by the recession and was closing underperforming restaurants. This year, it closed four other locations, including in Charlotte, N.C.; Southfield, Mich.; Westchester, Ill.; and Minneapolis.

Cops For Casinos
NBC 4: A law enforcement labor organization has endorsed a November ballot issue that would amend the state constitution to allow casinos in Ohio’s four largest cities. The Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio on Tuesday said it created the Cops for Casinos coalition because tough economic times are forcing communities to consider police layoffs.
FOP-Ohio Treasurer Mark Drum says the casino issue would give and estimated $651 million annual tax revenue to counties, major cities and school districts and provide about $13 million annually for law enforcement training. FOP-Ohio last year opposed a proposal to put a casino in Clinton County and says that plan did not guarantee tax revenue for the state or address law enforcement concerns. Proponents of the new proposal say it would create 34,000 jobs.
