Philips Color Kinetics LEDs to provide light show on Empire State Building in Big Apple tonight
According to a Philips Color Kinetics’ press release, at 9:00 p.m. ET, Alicia Keys will help kick off the light show by flipping the switch live in Clear Channel’s New York studios and then playing a single from her new album "Girl on Fire," and her smash hit "Empire State of Mind." New Yorkers and those in the surrounding area with a view of Empire State Building can tune into one of four Clear Channel radio stations — Z100, 103.5 KTU, Power105, and 106.7 Lite fm—as the stations simultaneously play accompanying music to the light show. The light show will be hosted for on-demand viewing at iHeartRadio.com, home to Clear Channel's digital radio service, by 10 a.m., on Tuesday, Nov. 27.

He showed an early interest in electricity, when as a youth he had an idea for a hot dog cooker.

Before becoming an editor for Electrical Wholesaling magazine and Electrical Marketing, he earned a BA degree in journalism and a MA in communications from Glassboro State College, Glassboro, NJ., which is formerly best known as the site of the 1967 summit meeting between President Lyndon Johnson and Russian Premier Aleksei Nikolayevich Kosygin, and now best known as the New Jersey state college that changed its name in 1992 to Rowan University because of a generous $100 million donation by N.J. zillionaire industrialist Henry Rowan. Jim is a Brooklyn-born Jersey Guy happily transplanted in the fertile plains of Kansas for the past 20 years.
