By Tuesday, January 8th, WEAR-TV in Pensacola, Florida (southeast of Mobile) and other ABC stations in the Central time zone were set to begin receiving live network feeds of "Jimmy Kimmel Live", a variety show, at 10:35 p.m., and "Nightline", a news program, at 11:35 p.m. on a regular basis beginning with the editions ABC would provide on that day. Before then, the stations usually began receiving "Nightline" at 10:35 p.m. and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" at 11:00 p.m. from Monday through Friday.

ABC first notified the general public about their new time periods for providing live network feeds of "Nightline" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" through a statement released on Tuesday, August 21st, 2012. By the next day, WEAR-TV had their own plans for broadcasting the programs set: They would begin broadcasting "Jimmy Kimmel Live" at 11:01 p.m. and begin broadcasting "Nightline" at 12:01 a.m. after recording them from their live network feeds.

Before the new network times for "Nightline" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" were enforced, WEAR-TV usually began broadcasting "Nightline" at 11:01 p.m and began broadcasting "Jimmy Kimmel Live" at 11:33 p.m after recording their live network feeds due to local news programming scheduled for broadcast between 10:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. After the new network times for "Nightline" and "Jimmy Kimmel Live" were enforced, the station still had plans to broadcast local news programming between 10:30 p.m. and 11:00 pm on a regular basis from Monday through Friday.

Books of The Times: ‘On the Map’ by Simon Garfield

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
Mr. Garfield does not pretend to be a serious historian. (Neither did Ken Jennings, whose 2011 “Maphead” covered some of the same terrain.) His gift is for cherry-picking factoids, and his latest book, “On the Map,” is full of little conversation pieces. But this book is diminished by the way it has been produced, with an alluringly tinted antique map of Africa on its cover and nothing but smudgy gray illustrations inside.

Some of the map depictions are also reduced in scale, which makes their copious text virtually illegible. Too bad: the kinds of stories Mr. Garfield loves depend on evocative visual images that his book doesn’t provide.

Should readers be able to conjure maps out of thin air? The first cartographers had to do just that, relying on little information, much intuition and the tactical use of deductive tools like trigonometry. But maps vary so wildly in shape, spirit and subject matter that the desire to lay eyes on them is irresistible. True map aficionados are smitten by their language, too. “Gladly would I go from Grand-Bassam to Tabou along the coast of Côte d’Ivoire,” Mr. Garfield writes, “if only to say so out loud.”

Maps aren’t as revelatory here as fonts were in “Just My Type.” Still, this is a fine and fruitful moment for thinking about cartography. There are whole relatively new genres, from the M.R.I. to video-game landscapes to social media-based graphics that depict trending tweets and online conversations.

It could be argued that a ghostly, cobwebby apparition produced by Facebook, generated by Facebook users’ connections, is too different from a map produced by Eratosthenes of Cyrene for the Great Library of Alexandria to coexist in the same book. But Mr. Garfield prefers skipping and sampling. His chapters are mere snippets, and his book’s guiding principle is casual fun — to the extent that it even has one.

He does have a penchant for the peculiar. He will tell you not only how Eratosthenes worked but that his flat map of the world made the overall landmass look like an elongated skull. He will sketch the history of watery-bordered maps that imagined the inhabited world as a great island. And he will gladly point out mapmakers’ idiosyncrasies, like the presumptions in Strabo’s “Geographica,” which that Greek geographer began writing in 7 B.C., that Ireland was full of cannibals and Ceylon “produces elephants.” (This book is at its most excitable when maps contain whopping errors or illustrations of bizarrely fanciful nonhuman creatures.)

Subject matter doesn’t get much better for Mr. Garfield than the Mappa Mundi, from around 1290, which not only set off a scandal when Hereford Cathedral tried to sell it in 1988 (chapter title: “The Men Who Sold the World”) but also featured phantasmagorical drawings. The Mappa Mundi features a horned, four-legged creature called the Bonacon, “whose method of defense,” according to a British scholar in 1955 “was to discharge its ordure over three acres of ground and set fire to everything within reach.” To its credit, “On the Map” includes a close-up of an embarrassed-looking Bonacon doing exactly that.

Almost any map-related oddity you can imagine is in here somewhere. Mr. Garfield questions whether the famed Latin phrase “Hic Sunt Dracones” means “Here Be Dragons” or, less romantically, refers to Dagronian cannibals mentioned by Marco Polo. And how does one determine whether a pre-Columbian document is a forgery? Match its wormholes against a map known to be authentic.

“On the Map” occasionally shows a serious side. Blank spaces on maps, Mr. Garfield points out, offer stories of their own. An unnamed piece of Africa may have invited imperialist conquest. Parts of the unexplored American West already had old Native American names, but Native Americans were nowhere to be found. It took Lewis and Clark to put new ones on the map.

The future of maps may be Mr. Garfield’s most important concern. We live in a time when maps of fantasy realms, à la Tolkien’s Middle-earth, are more beloved than maps of real places. Inevitably, Mr. Garfield arrives at the high-tech juncture where GPS use overshadows the traditional map and maybe even supplants it; while he does his best to give credit to progress, he finds some of it deeply regrettable.

One long, humorous and affectionate chapter is devoted to an especially abrasive dealer in antique maps. Mr. Garfield finds this guy’s avaricious but old-school passion more meaningful than any cute tricks your smartphone can do.

PRESS DIGEST-New York Times business news-2 July

The July 2 | Monday July 2, 2012 1:57 am CEST

July 2 (Reuters)-were the top stories on the business pages of the New York Times on Monday. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.

-The executives at Facebook Inc. are pinning much of the blame for the botched company IPO on Nasdaq, according to several people close to the company and its underwriters, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Tensions remain so high that Facebook is still considering switching exchanges and weighs the cost of such a move, these people said.

-Apple Inc. has agreed to pay a Chinese company $ 60 million to settle a dispute over ownership of the name iPad, a court announced Monday, removing a potential obstacle to the popular tablet computer sales in the key Chinese market.
