On the Job: DJ Bryan Fulcher
On the KOQL-FM Web site, DJ Bryan Fulcher says he “would not be a crayon, I would want to be a Sharpie.” B-love is rapidly making his permanent mark on the airwaves as the primetime night host from 6 p.m. to midnight on Q106.1 and is bringing listeners their hip-hop and R&B fixes, with plenty of Miley Cyrus mixed in (he’s a fan). B-love goes on-air to talk about his favorite music, bizarre phone calls and bringing the beat to mid-Missouri.

On the Job: Homer Collins
When asked how he would describe his boss’ personality, Rusty Thurman takes a long pause. “I don’t even know how to begin to describe Homer,” he says. Even after 26 years as the owner of Homer’s Auto Repair, Collins keeps the same outlook on life he has had since he joined the Army. He’s frank, serious and up for any challenge.

ON THE JOB
Most people think of doughnuts as a treat to enjoy while relaxing, something to get you ready for the day or a snack to munch on during the game. But do they realize one man slaves away during the wee hours of the morning to provide these puffy pastries to the hungry masses? Just ask Kevin Hicks, owner of Dixie Cream Donuts, about how his nocturnal work schedule eats up his social life. But don’t even think about asking him for a free doughnut.

The Good:
COLOSSAL CALAMARI Scientists in New Zealand defrosted a rare colossal squid found near Antarctica last year. The squid, which was accidentally captured in a trawler’s net, was kept in an enormous frozen box. Colossal squids have eyes more than a foot in diameter and tentacles thicker than human limbs. The two-day defrosting process was broadcast on the Internet via a webcast. Seafood fans everywhere salivated.Event of the Week: Freedom Riders
Don’t be surprised if you’re walking down Broadway this Friday and you see maroon blurs whiz past amid chants of “One world, one voice, free Tibet.”
