A consortium of investors led by veteran radio industry executive Jeff Warshaw has made an unsolicited $1.2 billion bid to buy Cumulus Media, the radio network that owns and operates 406 radio stations, the Westwood One syndication operation and a digital radio platform. According to press reports, Warshaw’s consortium is willing to pay $15-$17 a share for Cumulus and may go even higher if due diligence of the company’s financials justifies an increased valuation.

CBS revived the flagship CSI show last year with CSI: Vegas, but it’s time to reminisce about the second-longest show in the franchise, CSI: Miami. The sun-drenched procedural debuted on September 23, 2002, taking fans of the original CSI out of Sin City and into the Sunshine State. “We all felt Miami was the most happening place,” CSI executive producer Carol Mendelsohn told the Sun-Sentinel before the show’s debut. “Miami is so rich as a character. There is so much water. There are so many different cultures here all colliding. Its politics are so interesting. All that gives Miami an…
A Johns Hopkins Medicine study of about 50 people with Alzheimer’s disease has added to evidence that damage to the inner ear system that controls balance is a major factor in patients’ well-documented higher risk of falling. Overall, the researchers say, their study found that impairment of the vestibular system was linked to a 50% increase in the risk of falling for patients with Alzheimer’s compared with patients who have Alzheimer’s and normal vestibular function. The study, published Feb. 14 in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, is believed to be one of the first to demonstrate the vestibular system as…
Spring might still feel like a while off, but there is one way in which you can start embracing the new season now, and that’s by way of a beautiful bag. Whether you’re in the market for a new piece of arm candy or simply want to brush up on the styles set to dominate spring, identifying the best of the bunch can be tricky—there are so many out there to choose from it’s overwhelming. But that’s where I come in.It’s my job to know what’s in (and, sometimes, what’s out) in the world of fashion, and having consulted both…
Motorola’s Edge 20 series, which launched last year, helped the company compete very well in the premium smartphone segment, going beyond its familiar G-series and E-series budget smartphones. The Edge 20 and the Edge 20 Pro catered to the sub-Rs. 30,000 and sub-Rs. 40,000 segments of the market, respectively. Motorola has now launched the Edge 30 Pro as the successor to the Edge 20 Pro. While the latter was designed to meet a certain price point, the Edge 30 Pro seems to be aiming for top-end performance. Motorola has opted for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC to power this…
Sometimes, there comes a point in a relationship where you have to acknowledge: It’s no longer the same as it was. In Harry Styles‘ blockbuster new single “As It Was” — which flew straight to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — the singer/songwriter seems to be reflecting on himself and on a partnership that has evolved beyond its early stages. Before Styles hits the stage Friday night (April 15) on day 1 of Coachella for his very first gig at the Indio, Calif., festival, take a closer look at the lyrics for the lead single from his upcoming…

In particle physics, data long outlives the detectors that generate it. A decade ago the 4,100-metric-ton Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) reached the end of its life and was shut down, stripped of its parts for use in other experiments. Now a fresh analysis of old CDF data has unearthed a stunning discrepancy in the mass of an elementary particle, the W boson, that could point the way to new, as yet undiscovered particles and interactions. The W boson is massive, some 80 times heavier than a proton. Crucially, the W boson is responsible for certain forms of radioactive decay,…

We asked some experts how to navigate closet-related consumption in a manageable and meaningful way. By Odessa Paloma Parker Date April 8, 2022 Reminders of the carbon footprints we create when we fly or drive are pretty much everywhere, from car charging stations to the offsets we can buy with our flights. But what about the damage done by our love of fashion? “I had heard about carbon footprints for years, but I never thought they…

For the third movie in a row, Pixar’s latest original film Turning Red has bypassed cinemas and been sent straight to Disney+. While it’s disappointing that yet another Pixar project is missing out on the prestige of a theatrical run, this move has allowed more people to see the movie more quickly, and a few discussion points on it have popped up on social media since its release.One complaint that has popped up a lot on the internet is that the film isn’t “relatable” enough to be enjoyed by a wide audience compared to other Pixar movies. This is especially…

DNA has a knotty problem. Thousands of times longer than the cell that contains it, this intricate strand of As, Ts, Gs and Cs must fold itself into a compact package. But the thin double helix molecule can’t jam itself in any which way, lest it wind up horribly knotted. What’s more, the cell needs certain segments of the strand—particular genes—to remain accessible to protein-making machinery while keeping others tucked away and turned off. It’s like playing Tetris with a tangled ball of yarn. Nucleus-containing “eukaryotic” cells, the type found in humans, plants and animals, rely on complex interactions between…
Tomorrow’s weather may be cloudy with a chance of electrons, thanks to a newly detected phenomenon in Earth’s magnetic shield.Described as unexpected, ultra-fast “electron precipitation,” the phenomenon occurs when waves of electromagnetic energy pulse through Earth’s magnetosphere – the magnetic field generated by the churning of Earth’s core, which surrounds our planet and shields it from deadly solar radiation. These electrons then overflow from the magnetosphere and plummet toward Earth. The torrential electron rains are more likely to occur during solar storms, and they may contribute to the aurora borealis, according to research published March 25 in the journal Nature Communications.…
I’m a firm believer that more is not more when it comes to beauty. A bigger price tag doesn’t necessarily connotate better results, nor does a bigger product array. (Take it from someone whose skin did a complete 180—in a much healthier direction—the second I slashed my a.m. and p.m. routines in half.) Don’t get me wrong. I’m more than down to invest in an absurdly expensive perfume, but I have to love it so much that the hefty price tag will feel well worth the splurge each and every time I wear it. And it had better last me a…
It’s big enough to roast a chicken, sear a couple of large steaks at a time, or fit about six 12-inch skewers. But if you’re doing meat and veggies for a family of four, you’re going to be cooking in batches. In practice, this isn’t so bad. Most meats need to rest when they’re done cooking anyway, giving you time to do your veggies. In my testing, the Mini Big Green Egg has excellent heat control and, like the larger version, is extremely fuel-efficient.You can find a local store that carries the MiniMax here.Best Grill to Charge Your DevicesThe FirePit+…

A few years ago, I had the great pleasure of attending a magical reading retreat at The Twinflower Inn Bed and Breakfast in Bishop Hill, Illinois. All my husband and I had to do was arrive and the hosts took care of everything else. All meals were prepared for us and enjoyed in a cozy dining area. Coffee and tea were available at all times. There were couches to sit on when we grew tired of lying in bed or soaking in our in-room jacuzzi tub. Flowers covered the cozy back porch. We were even able to book an in-room…

The pair had previously starred…
Over the past two decades, the Arctic has lost about one-third of its winter sea ice volume, largely due to a decline in sea ice that persists over several years, called multiyear ice, according to a new study. The study also found sea ice is likely thinner than previous estimates. Seasonal sea ice, which melts completely each summer rather than accumulating over years, is replacing thicker, multiyear ice and driving sea ice thinning trends, according to the new research. Arctic sea ice snow depth is estimated, for the first time, from a combination of lidar (ICESat-2) and radar (CryoSat-2) data.…

Graphic by Leo Tapel Long before “sustainability” became a buzzword, Indigenous makers were cultivating environmentally conscious creations. By David A. Robertson Date April 8, 2022 Long before fast-fashion brands had resale platforms and luxury labels were using recycled leather, Indigenous artisans were cultivating a community of makers who responsibly harvested the land and made unique and meaningful designs in the process. Our clothing was made for survival, using resources that protected us from the elements while simultaneously celebrating our heritage. And we rejected the 20th-century throwaway culture of more…
