Foremost among his countless contributions to popular culture and the music business, Dick Clark took rock ‘n’ roll out of bedroom radios and placed it on televisions in living rooms and dens across America. Nearly five decades later, after creating and hosting game shows, the American Music Awards, New Year’s Eve celebrations and producing TV shows and films, “American Bandstand” remains the jewel in Clark’s crown.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Shifting from Google’s CEO to executive chairman proved to be lucrative career move for Eric Schmidt.
Google Inc. awarded Schmidt a compensation package valued at $101 million last year, according to a Friday regulatory filing. The amount is 322 times higher than the $313,219 package that Schmidt received in 2010 during his final full year as the Internet search leader’s CEO.
Schmidt, 56, ended a decade-long stint as Google’s CEO last April and turned over the job to Google co-founder Larry Page.
