In 1970 Karl Wallenda crossed Tallulah Groge on a wire- but he wasn't the first! He may not even have been the second to do it. This week we answer the question; how did they get the wire across the gorge? Video of Wallenda making the crossing The Moving Through Georgia book is available on Amazon.
We're back from our extended Thanksgiving break with an inside look at the venerable sports venue that single-handedly elevated 1960s-era Atlanta to "major league" status, and cemented its place among the most important American cities. Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium - known simply as "Atlanta Stadium" when it opened in 1965 - was the long-time home of Major League Baseball's Braves (1966-96), the National Football League's Falcons (1966-91), two incarnations of the North American Soccer League's Atlanta Chiefs, and college football's postseason Peach Bowl (1968-92). And nobody knew its inner workings better than the facility's hard-working "ground crew" who tended to the whims and vicissitudes of the teams, players, owners, and even fans that called the stadium home for 30+ memorable years. 1970s stadium crew members Harvey Lee Frazier and David Fisher - along with "as-told-to" author Austin Gisriel ("Ground Crew Confidential") - join the podcast to share a bevy of little-known "behind-the scenes" memories of the facility that helped put Atlanta on the map - with the help of influential figures like Hank Aaron, Phil Woosnam, Ted Turner, the Beatles, and even high-wire great Karl Wallenda.
After years of defying gravity on the tightrope, Karl Wallenda became obsessed with the idea that he might fall. In 1978 before an audience of thousands, he fell to his death. Fear makes you focus on the terrible what-ifs.

On this episode of the Life in the Carolinas podcast, Carl sits down with Lyric Wallenda, Simon Arestov, and Alex “The Mooch” Arestov of Circus Incredible. Lyric is a 7th generation circus performer of the Flying Wallenda family while Simon, a member of the Arestov Circus Troup from Moscow, is 2nd generation. The Mooch, now five years old, is the 8th and latest generation to carry on the Wallenda legacy. Lyric reflects on the achievements of the most famous member of her family, her great-grandfather Karl Wallenda, who immigrated from Germany to the U.S. where he and his wife Helen performed with the Ringling Brothers for 17 years. Their immediate success at their debut performance at Madison Square Garden gave the Wallendas the opportunity to bring many more of their relatives over from Germany. Listen in as Lyric and Simon tell the riveting and often-heartbreaking story of their family's rise to fame in America. They explain why, after several generations, they continue to see the circus as their calling, and why they love performing in front of a wide variety of audiences, from major state and county fairs all the way to the Hollywood Bowl and NBA Halftime shows at Madison Square Garden!
Heather Newton's “McMullen Circle” Brings Characters in a Small Town to Life In this episode 278, we visit with Heather Newton, author of “McMullen Circle,” a collection of connected short stories, and finalist for the W.S. Porter Prize. In 1969, as Karl Wallenda prepares to tight-rope walk across the gorge in the tiny town of Tonola Falls, Georgia, faculty families at the McMullen Boarding School learn about racism, war, and what makes a hero. Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author of A Land More Kind Than Home, had this to say about the book:"These deeply literary, heartfelt, and heartbreaking characters call to mind the work of Elizabeth Strout, Gail Godwin, and Richard Russo, but Heather Newton is her own writer. Her characters are shot through with longing and hope, and in this small community we watch as big dreams and big desires are dreamed and felt, run toward and away from. This is the kind of book that readers return to to reemerge themselves in Newton's world, and it's also the kind of book that writers return to to see how she pulled it off."

If you're a Delawarean there's a good chance Fred Comegys has taken your photo. For over 50 years Fred worked at The News Journal, working his way from errand boy to the most well-known photojournalist in Delaware and one of the premier newspaper photojournalists in the country in the 1970's.

(Philip Pullman) 1 | Measles and Immune Amnesia 8.5 minutes Measles (MV) is very contagious and can be deadly, even though some cases are mild to moderate. However, it can also "erase" some or all of our immune memory! Measles and Immune Amnesia (article from American Society for Microbiology) my-ap.us/2F0Chew Watch: The tricks that make measles so infectious (video you can use in your class) my-ap.us/2EWugar Notes In this segment, the necessary step of memory cells producing effector cells (that engage pathogens) in subsequent exposures to the "remembered" pathogen is glossed over for simplicity of discussion. Presumably, the "live" attenuated MV used in vaccination triggers formation of memory cells against MV without causing the full-blown infection that impairs immune memory of other pathogens. 2 | Sponsored by HAPS 0.5 minutes The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) is a sponsor of this podcast.

Here, Kevin describes an analogy he uses—a person on a highwire. Listen to why he calls this model The Wallenda Model and find out how he uses it to better understand homeostasis. The Wallendas are a family of highwire artists famous for very high/long "sky walks" and human pyramids on the wire Karl Wallenda, the most famous of the clan, died from a fall off the wire during a sky walk The famous 7-person pyramid was also marred by a tragic fall NOTE: The balance pole is normally up to about 30 pounds or so. The 80-pound figure given in this episode would be unusually heavy. Elements of The Wallenda Model Variable: position of body Set point: directly over the wire Sensors: nerve receptors (eyes, inner ears, muscle stretch receptors, etc.) Integrator: brain Effectors: skeletal muscles Where to send students: lionden.com/homeostasis.htm A summary of all three models Kevin uses to teach homeostasis Includes photos and links to videos Survival Guide for Anatomy & Physiology lionden.com/tips-survival-guide.htm Includes a short, illustrated summary of The Wallenda Model of Homeostasis 6 | Sponsored by HAPI Online Graduate Program 0.5 minute The Master of Science in Human Anatomy & Physiology Instruction—the MS-HAPI—is graduate program for A&P teachers.

This week we take a look at the deaths of daredevils and stutmen rooftopper Yu Wongning, stuntman Jose Marco, tightrope walker Karl Wallenda, and human cannonball Matt Cranch.
Karl Wallenda, perinteinen sirkustaiteilija ja maailmankuulu nuorallakävelijä. Wallenda sanoi elävänsä vain, kun oli vaijerin päällä yläilmassa. Aikansa hurjapää Wallenda kuoli 73-vuotiaana, pudottuaan kahden tornin väliin pingotetulta nuoralta. Hän esiintyi ilman turvaverkkoa sekä turvavaijeria. Mikä sai iäkkään nuoralla taiteilijan ottamaan tällaisen riskin? Haastateltavina sirkustaiteilija Salla Hakanpää sekä sirkusalan tutkija ja tietokirjailija Markku Aulanko. Toimittajana taikuri-mentalisti Pete Poskiparta.
Balance Walking a high-wire was the dangerous vocation of the world-renown daredevil Karl Wallenda. Whether it was over desert canyons or city streets, the most important aspect of this death-defying act was balance. One wrong step would yield terrible results. The same can be said about the auto industry. Balance is important on several levels, in many arenas. But perhaps the most important area when it comes to a brand are its front line products. Those the consumer sees when they visit dealer showrooms. There has to be the right balance for not only the buyer, but the brand as well. That is one of many beliefs of General Motors' new Product Czar Tom Stephens. This GM veteran, who has worn a variety of hats during his years with the company, now slips on the rather large shoes of Bob Lutz, the previous Product Czar who receives much of the credit for spearheading its recent vehicle renaissance. On this week's Autoline, Mr. Stephens discusses not only his automotive philosophy which will drive this side of the business, but the balance he says he must continue to bring to the burgeoning GM product lineup.
