March Madness 2009 – March 23, 2009 Update
 
For those who were doing their brackets and following mine at the same time on ESPN's Tournament Challenge and any tournament challenges on Facebook, my bracket has performed well.
 
The only issues were the following:
  • Six first round losses: Ohio State, Clemson, Utah, West Virginia, Florida State and Wake Forest
  • Two second round losses: Texas A&M and Maryland
This results my bracket leading into the Regionals to 39-8. Pittsburgh, Louisville and UNC (my three remaining 1st seed picks) still are in my path to victory, including my 3rd seed Syracuse. Any comments on my bracket? Email PYIR SportsCenter at pyirsportsdesk@gmail.com.

WorldWide Publications & Media Update:
Last week, I mentioned on the last blog post that we started a beta-mode online television station. Since the FCC cannot regulate online television, that's one less red tape to cut through. We currently have a composite preview through Mogulus. You can preview the present autopiloted broadcast at http://www.mogulus.com/wwpmtelevision.
 
Also mentioned is the live stream (temporarily dormant) video of the WWPM-OR studios. You can view that online at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wwpm-radio-live-online-feed.
 
WWPM Radio Network has had some technical issues with their current broadcaster through uBroadcast. A technical support email has been sent to uBroadcast to analyze the problem and if a compatible player can be utilized for Windows Media, RealPlayer and Quicktime media players.
