Rob Aycock, a successful athletics fundraising professional with collegiate experience at three different institutions, joined the staff as Senior Associate A.D for External Affairs./Executive Director of the Seahawk Club in April of 2013.
Aycock, 31, most recently served as Associate Athletic Director for External Relations at High Point before accepting the position with the Seahawks. He becomes the 10th full-time chief of the Seahawk Club.
"We're very excited about Rob becoming a member of the UNCW family and Wilmington community," said Director of Athletics Jimmy Bass. "He's one of the rising stars in collegiate fund raising. Rob brings a lot of experience and energy to the position as well as fresh ideas and a creative approach that will help us elevate our efforts as we embark on an exciting period in UNCW athletics."
Aycock has worked at HPU for the last three years and spearheaded a marked increase in athletic giving for the Panthers. HPU hiked its giving from $122,000 in 2009 to more than $4 million last year. In addition, Aycock helped oversee several facility improvements, including the installation of a new surface for the track, soccer and lacrosse stadium, the renovation of men's and women's basketball offices and locker rooms and the construction of a plaza at HPU's Williard Baseball Stadium.
"I'd like to thank Chancellor (Gary) Miller and Athletic Director Jimmy Bass for this special opportunity," said Aycock. "I'm thrilled to have the chance to work with everyone at UNCW to help better the experiences of our student-athletes, both in the classroom and on the field of play.
"I want to engage the Wilmington community as well as all UNCW alums to let them know that we are their team. Their support is vital to our success and our ability to put out a product that can be a huge source of pride for them wherever they reside."
The Tarboro, N.C., native began his athletic administration career at Wake Forest in 2006 as an assistant in the Demon Deacon ticket office. He moved up to Assistant Director of Ticket Operations at Wake before taking a position at Kent State in 2007.
He worked two years at Kent State as Associate Director of Athletic Advancement for the Blue and Gold Fund from 2007-09, managing a significant prospect pool and implementing the first comprehensive marketing effort of premium seating options for football and basketball for the Golden Flashes.
Aycock then returned to North Carolina to take over as Associate A.D. for External Relations at HPU in May of 2009 and has thrived with the Panthers. He solicited the largest planned athletic gift ($2.6 million) in the school's history and coordinated record-setting corporate sales for the athletic program.
"The entire membership of the Seahawk Club is excited about having Rob on board," said Don Fallis, the Seahawk Club's current president. "We're anxious to work closely with him to increase membership and giving."
Aycock earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree from Wake Forest in 2003 and completed his Master's Degree in Sport Management at Tennessee in 2005. He and his wife, Turner, have a daughter Emmeline Leila, 2.

Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.
you'll want the most bass out of your subwoofer while using the SurroundBar, that's why i recommend using your fronts set to small. I just demoed the SurroundBar in my house three weeks ago... i know what sounded best.
the SurroundBar has seven 3 1/2" midrange driver and three 3/4" tweeters.. trust me. there is no bass coming out of that SurroundBar. that's why you'd want to run your fronts on small.
but I'd say, a person really should try both and see which sounds better for them.
for those that don't have a small or large setting in their AVR's.
large would be 40 to 90Hz and small would be 140-200Hz as crossover settings.
So what would 91 to 139 be?
Al, the Sbar has it's own filtering built in..... How else, or many other times can we say it?
Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.
The representative from Polk recommended setting my speakers to small, 120 crossover, and subwoofer 'On'. Why should I question this?
OK newbie here.
My HT room has the primary viewing sofa jammed into the corner (not my choice!). As a result, there is no place to put the rear surrounds. So I am heavily considering this baby. Question though...I have about 3+ feet behind the sofa to the corner. Can I put a single speaker back there to make a 6.1 (My Denon 1804 will support that)? Will it help with the imaging? Its a Mirage AVS200 (?)...is there a better speaker (less directional??) that would work better?
Ross - I believe you're from Audioholics :) I'll answer here for this question but finish up over there on your earlier query if that's ok.
Yes, a single speaker would be fine but I would suggest an omni-directional speaker from Mirage(Omnisat for example, since you mentioned the brand) or even better would be a single bipole/dipole speaker from the current Polk Audio lineup(FXi30/FXi3). The problem with either choice is that you will most likely have to buy a pair.
I would try an "fill" that 3ft+ area with sound as opposed to localize it with a traditional loudspeaker. However, you can do all kinds of "odd" things with a single traditional speaker like position it on the floor firing up, ceiling firing down, etc so in the end I would suggest you play around with what you own now, and try a couple things, then break out the wallet :D
Does that help you?
Welcome to our humble audio abode Roscoe!
See you 'out there'.
Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.
You mean because in pairs is the only way they are sold? If I bought such a speaker, where would I put it? Ceiling? Floor? Ear level?Yes, a single speaker would be fine but I would suggest an omni-directional speaker from Mirage(Omnisat for example, since you mentioned the brand) or even better would be a single bipole/dipole speaker from the current Polk Audio lineup(FXi30/FXi3). The problem with either choice is that you will most likely have to buy a pair.
I would of course rather use what I have, guess I'll just have to play around.I would try an "fill" that 3ft+ area with sound as opposed to localize it with a traditional loudspeaker. However, you can do all kinds of "odd" things with a single traditional speaker like position it on the floor firing up, ceiling firing down, etc so in the end I would suggest you play around with what you own now, and try a couple things, then break out the wallet
Yup...thanks!:)Does that help you?
Pairs? Yes.
Placement? That's my point. Play around with the Mirage in regards to the 6.1 setup, run it HOT(+db) and see if you notice it on media you're familiar with.

I had a chance to try out the new SurroundBar50 this weekend. Wow! I wasn't expecting such a difference, but to me it seems way, way better than the regular version. I wouldn't have thought two extra woofers and a couple ports would create so much change, but after seeing the diagram on the products page, it makes sense. The two added woofers are used as SDA drivers for the front left and right speakers, so they are creating a larger front stage, as well as adding more speaker surface area for higher volume capability and deeper bass.
For equipment, I was using a Yamaha RXV1700 receiver connected by HDMI to a Toshiba HDA2 HD DVD player, and a Polk Audio PSW404 subwoofer. The first movie I tried was the Bourne Identity on HD DVD. There were two scenes I tried with this disc: the police in pursuit of Bourne and Marie in the mini and when Bourne goes after the assassin at Marie's brother's house with a shotgun. The car chase is great! It starts out with Bourne backing the mini into the street in front of a bus, which has to break and honks out of the surround speakers. The chase continues with various tires skidding, cars crashing, and even a glass phone booth door shattering, all accompanied by Moby's song Ready Steady Go. Particularly cool surround effects with the car spinning through the back soundstage. At the farmhouse, the action starts out with bang...literally! Bourne fires the shotgun to blow up a propane tank. Unsuspecting customers in the store were taking cover after this powerful, dynamic explosion. Bourne then runs through the trees to a clearing, where he fires the shotgun in the air. The shotgun blast is quite loud and very realistic, startling birds from the field and echoing for several seconds. The birds circle the field, and you can clearly hear them behind you. Bourne shoots the assassin twice to dispatch him, with painful efficiency that may cause you to check yourself for wounds. Great demo material! I also got to briefly run through a couple of scenes from Transformers, and let's just say, yeah, it's everything you'd expect! Wow! All-in-all, a very impressive new product from Polk!
Fireshoes - Great comments, thanks for posting them! The SB50 SDA works very well.
I believe a couple folks haven't posted their reviews of the OG Surround Bar....is that gonna happen sometime ;)
OK, this may be a dumb question, but I have to ask.
Several of you have mentioned how you adjust levels for your "rear" channels on the surroundbar. The surroundbar has cable marked for center, front right and left, surround right and left. There are no cables marked for surround back right or back left. I have the cable connected to my receiver as marked. I have no speaker cable connection to surround back right or left channels.
I presume this is the way everyone is doing it? No one is connecting the surround right and left cable to the surround back (rear?) channels are they? I think you all mean the surround channels when you mention "rear".
Yes, some folks like the surrounds in the back, some on the sides for a 5.1 system. So you can hook the "surround" wires coming from the bar to either sides or backs, they are still surrounds.

Im a newbie here,
Just Ordered the SurroundBar 50
I also ordered the FXiA6 for surrounds(make a 7.1 setup)
And for a sub, I ordered a DSW Pro500..
My reciever is a Marantz SR7001, with a Marantz DVD player and a PS3 for BluRay.
I live in an apartment with small living room, Im hoping this setup works, any advice would be helpful to maximize my sound for the best
I orginaly ordered RTi12's for fronts and a CSi5 for center, but my wife freaked out at the size, so Im sending them back plus center in favor for this surroundbar50......hope it works out.
My main question with the surrounds(FX's) I have...I plan on mounting them on my back wall....do I use them as rears ? and set the surround rears as surround side rears ????
Last edited by MightyHalo; 11-29-2007 at 02:26 AM.
Surround Rear.
Those FX's will not be a good match for the Surroundbar. They will overwhelm the bar. The correct surrounds for the Bar are the RM101. http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4136367
They match the bar visually as well which will probably make your wife happy. Not familiar with that sub, but make sure it is close to the bar as it needs a pretty high crossover and you can tell where it is.
Well.........after much much thinking, I will go the more tradional route,
I called and canceled the SurroundBar50.........
This will be my setup,
Fronts: RTiA3 bookshelfs with stands
Center: CSiA6
Surround Rear:FXiA6
Sub: DSW Pro 500
I figured I can go with this setup and give me much more room to grow.....like sneak in some surround side rears later...and upgrade my fronts to towers later.
I had read that for music on the surround bar, it'll give me a tinny sound. I don't want that....I do like movies/ps3 games...but also some decent music...Im hoping this will be satisfying.
I'll let you know what happens.
MightyHalo - Great choices, rock on!
Any Polkies that were able to demo the Surround Bar.....would you mind taking some time to post your thoughts on the SB in the review section? There are some of you that never posted your reviews and that would be the best spot.
Polk Audio would really appreciate a few minutes of your time. Thanks.
Surround Bar Review Page
I received my SurroundBar today...I'm so excited:):):)! Can't wait to get surround sound again (Hint: Amazon.com)
Question...My receiver has red/black +/- connections, but the SurroundBar color codes the wires with no polarity distinction. Does it matter which color goes + or - in my receiver?
I'm working on this now so I may have this figureed out though by the time I get an answer. But please answer anyway...if I have issues that may help me from chasing a non-issue.
The color coding is a generic feature to assist customers. It's sometimes used on other gear but not everything.
Just follow the instructions for what speaker your connecting and you'll be fine on the AVR/Receiver end of things.
Let us know what you think of the SB, have fun!
So I guess polarity doesn't matter or I got incredibly lucky. becasue sound appears to be coming out of all channels
New problem, unrelated to the SB. I can't see or change any of the settings in my reciever because for reason the remote isn't working and the Denon AVR-1804 can only be setup through the remote (GRRR). It turns the system on and off (both zone one and zone 2), but nothing else works. No volume, no setup, nothing. Yes, it has fresh batteries. Note I usually use a Harmony all-in-one remote but I can't see how that would matter.
I know it was set up for small speakers and a sub woofer, so I know I have to change both of those. Grrrrr....

Would you trade iPhone thinness for longer battery life? [Poll]
When it comes to the next generation iPhone, is thinner always better, or would you trade a couple of extra millimeters for longer battery life? Rumors went around last week about Apple potentially changing screen technology to something that would let them make the iPhone 5 thinner than the current iPhone 4S. There was also some talk about Android maker HTC running internal polls about thinner phones vs. longer battery life. Apple, however, made the new iPad slightly thicker last time, in part to make sure they could add a Retina display and LTE radio and still off the same battery life.
If the iPhone casing gets even slightly bigger, then the battery can spread out more and maybe the next generation iPhone can be thinner and get the same or better battery life. If the iPhone 5 keeps the same overall casing size, however, something might have to give.
If you had the choice between a thinner new iPhone with shorter battery life, a same depth iPhone with the same battery life, and a slightly thicker new iPhone with longer battery life, which would you choose?
Vote in the poll up top and give me your reasons why in the comments below!
There are 35 comments. Add yours.
The usual caveats apply - assuming a reasonable amount of thickness/heft
Thicker by a millimeter or 2.
Exactly. I would gladly trade a mm or two for some additional battery life or better yet the same battery life with a 4" screen and widgets.
you guys are missing a few options.... how about better battery life, same size
ideal option
Any thinner and I'm going to worry about it breaking in my pocket. Just don't see the need to get much thinnner, maybe just a tiny bit but not much at all.
Soon we'll all have a piece of glass in our pockets. Hmmm..
If it is just a little thicker than the 4S, as the New IPad is just a little thicker than the IPad 2.....I'd say yes, a little thicker, for better battery life.
There should have been a 4th poll option for:
"Hell yes! Do it now!"
I think this whole race for the thinnest device is absolute foolishness. Then, to make matters worse, the only way they're getting bigger batteries in devices is by make them larger in size... (Galaxy Note, Razr Maxxx, etc)
We can't continue this route, time to turn this car back around and head back towards bigger batteries that can last more than 8-10 hours.
To paraphrase an old saying, "You can never be too thin or have too much battery life." And if we had to pick only one, we'd prefer more battery life. Thinness will come over time.
Provided it was a huge jump, like double the battery life. If its just to keep it the same, like the new iPad, I'd be disappointed.
I voted for a thicker battery i can always use more battery life, also i would like the next iPhone to not be so slick! I had to put a case on my phone which i dislike because it was way too easy to drop.
Agreed. I added a case for the fist time ever until I changed the back out on mine to a wood one so it's just a bit grippier.
I think the question is a little off as of more recent rumors. I think the option is a thinner phone or same size that allows for a bigger battery based on a liquid metal backing with thinner glass with touch being built into the LCD...
I'm sure same size bigger battery would win over all....mind u...add lte data speed and that would leave one with...same size, more&faster features, same battery life....
Rumors r fun...
Not sure why people need to have a phone that last for more than a day. If I'm running or biking I have a juice pack to give me the battery life I want. For everything else the battery life is fine. I'd much prefer a thinner device with the same battery life. I'm hoping for iPod touch thin in the next iPhone.
I'm curious, how many miles do you cover over a day's worth of running and biking?
People are way to obsessed with thing devices. I've never broken my iPT2g, but I've seen way to many people who have...
^...thin devices.
Sorry for double post, did not proof read
How about a bigger screen, thinner but wider, and better battery life. Battery tech has improved, the reports of thinner phone were with equal battery space so make it wider and add more battery and still be thinner.
Unless there is a thinner camera, the case now is about it.
What i truly don't understand is how is it that technology has advanced so greatly. How is it that my iphone 4 is more powerful than all supercomputers from the year 2000 and previous ( there are tests that prove that). How is it that i have such a gorgeous display which challenges what i see in real life...
And yet batteries haven't advanced since 2000..... pure foolishness
That is so true. There was a lot of research in battery size at one time. Statements were made that a car battery will be a micro chip, but as you state, not much change in batteries for a time. The technology is there, just guess the they people do not want to use it right now for whatever reason. Makes no sense at all. "pure foolishness" is so right.
answer = prolonging petroleum dependance.
Especially in comparison with a bulk of Android phones, I think the iPhone already has exceptional battery life. I think the thickness of the phone is fine as is, but anything more than that will take away some of the sleek awesomeness...
I think a thicker iPhone 5 would feel like going from an iPod Nano to the 1st Generation iPod.
Thus, same battery, same size!!
Lithium polymer...chances r more expensive and exotic materials with more stringent handling precautions, costs, and class action suits would b required to advance battery tech...and recycling tech
Fusion anyone?
Love the design of my 4S. No necessity requires my phone to be any slimmer than it already is. I COULD however use an extra few hours of battery life in my day. I have to use either 1)my mophie juice pack or 2) car charger during lunch every. single. day. as it stands. Most days it's fine, but if I have a day where I have an extraordinary amount of downtime at work then I am stuck doing both the car charger during lunch AND using my juicepack later in the afternoon. Rediculous if you ask me.
if the battery was changeable then thinner otherwise longer battery life
who cares if you have a thin phone if you can't use it all day?!
The current models are plenty thin, I don't have any desire for a thinner iPhone. A bigger battery would be amazing though :)
I believe with all the hype and Tim cook bring Apple to the future. We will see a new design for sure probably like the iPad2 I hope because I love my iPad2 just like it is. Tim is a stickler for tradition and I hope he keeps the traditions.
phone with exceptional battery life is preferred the most so i go with thicker with long battery life
I think that the companies should develop a thinner phone with extra battery life!!! Come on, I can't believe they cannot do it... If I have to chose I chose battery life, as my Iphone 4s (work) battery is riduculous compared with my samsung galaxy sII (personal). But I can't belueve apple and the rest don't come up with a good solution...
Someone shared a concern over a phone being "too thin". I concur. Long time ago I had a Sky Page pager that was nearly credit card size. I returned it because I was afraid it would snap in half in my pocket. Others commented "I carry a juice pack" or similar "extra battery". Why? If I'm hiking or biking, why would I would want an extra device to carry?
Thinner is not always better. I concure with a lot of the other posters in that the iPhone being much thinner would also be fragile. I have no problem with charging my phone at/over night. However since upgrading to the 4s I have had days with, albeit heavier than normal use, that I must charge before the day is gone. As a user of many apple products I LOVED my iPhone 4 due to my average 2 day use before charge cycle. Understanding that as the devices can do more and run faster will effect drain times I was overly pleased and completely understanding in the thicker iPad (3rd gen). I am however displeased with the 4s(I've already returned one to apple for poor battery performance). I'm sure most people would agree that there is little glory in showing off a very asthetic but DEAD iPhone. "your heading to grandmas for the weekend, oh sh** you forgot to grab your charger, oh well your new iPhone will last just fine over the weekend and you can top off Sunday night after you get home." That's the phone I want to carry.
iPhone 4s battery life is great as is. If they add LTE in this next version, which they almost definitely will, they'll pretty much HAVE to increase battery life to compensate, much as they did with the new iPad.
I don't care whether it is thinner or not. The battery NEEDS to last longer than it does. Frankly, I certainly want to see I new design of iPhone, but it doesn't necessarily have to be thinner. I was somewhat disappointed when the new iPad LOOKED exactly like the old one. I want people to be able to know which one I have, without having to ask me.
This is a dumb argument. The phone as is is way to fragile for its' own good. Make it thinner, claim to have the thinnest, then we all have to go stick in an "Otter Box" just to walk out of the house. I have this great phone wrapped up in so much plastic you can hardly tell what it is. And if it is thinner next time, I will carry it the same way.

NTSB calls for state ban on iPhones and other smartphones in cars
The National Transportation Safety Board [NTSB] has recommended that the American states prohibit any and all non-emergency use of smartphones in automobiles. That's right, they want you to keep your hands and eyes off your iPhone and on the wheel and road. While that might make some superficial sense, it also ignores how multifaceted modern smartphones truly are -- for example, running a GPS turn-by-turn sat nav app, or playing music, the same functionality built into a lot of modern vehicles.
The safety recommendation specifically calls for the 50 states and the District of Columbia to ban the nonemergency use of portable electronic devices (other than those designed to support the driving task) for all drivers. The safety recommendation also urges use of the NHTSA model of high-visibility enforcement to support these bans and implementation of targeted communication campaigns to inform motorists of the new law and heightened enforcement.
The trouble is, smartphones can run software designed to support driving tasks, but they can also run highly distracting software like SMS/IM or Angry Birds.
And, of course, it does nothing to deal with other driver distractions like food, makeup, reading papers while driving, etc. etc. (Sadly it's very touch to draft a "don't be dumb and drive law", so they fall for easy-to-identify blanket bans.)
We're co-opting our sibling site, Android Central's poll on this one, so add your vote above and sound off on what you think below!

Banning them across the board is ridiculous. You'd have to ban every new car on the market as they have the same functionality built in. In most cases with bigger screens.
No, this is a bad idea. Fortunately, it won't pass.
Cars with built in systems are engineered to be used while driving. Hence the buttons on the console are large and require minimal input. On of that a car manufacturer can program their built in features to disable input when the car is in motion as many already do; I cannot use the GPS in my car while in motion as it locks me out.
You certainly can use GPS while the car is in motion, you just can't program in a new destination. What good would GPS be if you couldn't use it while the car was in motion?
nobody plays Angry Birds while they're driving and if they DO, that's exactly how they're going to die someday. The solution is within the problem. Legislation is unnecessary.
Ban them, the whole lot of them. Many states already do. Using a handset in my state for any reason just became a primary offense a month ago. Although I doubt it will get much enforcement because I see police officers riding around with their phones up to their ears all the time.
Do they ban CB radios for truck drivers too? According to this logic they should because it is just as big of a distraction as it is to talk on a cell phone.
They should also ban billboards too because those are designed to take the drivers eyes off the road. This whole concept of lets ban something is ridiculous, how about put some thought and work into and do it right instead of taking the lazy mans approach.
Dont ban them... NTSB are a bunch of idiots... i use my iPhone for GPS and music in my car with of course bluetooth.... its safe... they probably just have "dumb" phones and dont understand....
Maybe they should just save us all the trouble and make our cars illegal. After all, that's the part of this equation that truly causes the harm.
What's more dangerous, skipping to the next track in a playlist on a smartphone that you can drop without consequence if you need to, or having a three inch stick that is on fire in your hand that could burn you and/or set your car on fire if dropped?
Smoking while driving needs to be banned well in advance of smartphones.
The NTSB actually suggested to "Ban the nonemergency use of portable electronic devices (other than those designed to support the driving task) for all drivers".
Not just "smartphones".
I get frustrated by "tricky" and "clever" news article titles that feel misleading. Maybe that's just me.
Clueless, inept, oblivious people need to be banned from driving.
And from posting comments.
How would you ever enforce it? I agree that talking/texting while driving is distracting, but this is yet another ploy by the government to control our lives, sneakily disguised as a public safety issue. We, as smartphone/cellphone users, are ultimately the ones responsible for our actions. When in this country did personal responsibility take a backseat to the progressive socialist movement? This is sheer tomfoolery.
When you have an accident because your smartphone distracted you that half a second necessary to break earlier and you kill someone you are responsible for it too.
This is a serious matter and your actions are not taking into account the safety of everyone. You would not like to die or get seriously injured because someone was texting his wife on his way home and reacted late.
Thankfully in Europe these laws are generally implemented and there is consciousness about how distractions affect driving. I am sure it won't take long in the US to be generally accepted
Stop using my screename to post!
Uhhh, how about they try enforcing the current laws? Or is that too wild for an agency (any government entity), whose business is...making up new rules? if the police ticketed those on cell phones here in WA where it is illegal, revenue would, at least temporarily shoot up. But alas, enforcement is not the point. Getting more donations from the carriers is.
You forgot to state an important exemption. If used in a handsfree mode the proposal would exempt the user. Bluetooth anyone??
If theyll provide everyone with a pioneer Double din indash with gps and iPhone compatibility thn we might negotiate. Other than that. Eating and reading and smoking is also as dangerous
I think we should make a law that allows only the use of self-automated cars by 2012... We shouldn't have to drive anywhere. Then we can be mindless drones and update our Facebook status in the car while it drives and we can sip on a cocktail till we reach our destination... NTSB (another government agency that needs to go..... right behind TSA)
Sad but one day it probably will be that way. All of those that actually enjoy driving will be thrown in jail for switching to manual mode. AGGGG!!! I thought, stability control, drive by wire, ABS, Automatic tranys, ect, ect. were bad enough.
So then people will have real justification for going trail riding with no real destination?
Simple answers to complex problems always ends up with the wrong thing being banned, and similar and worse technologies and activities doing just as much damage.
Enforce the non-hands-free use of phones first. Get to enforcing that and the rest becomes unnecessary legislation as valid as needing to walk in front of all cars entering the city to avoid scaring the horses.
This also fails to point out the inordinate amount of technology in POLICE CARS. They have laptops, iPads and other technologies that are equally, and sometimes more distracting than what is in your normal Joe's car.
They aren't using bluetooth. There isn't a speakerphone. They don't use Dragon Naturally Speaking as they drive. They drive and TYPE ON A FRIGGIN LAPTOP.
Go fix that crap before you tell me to put my iPhone down.
Haven't you realized what type of country you're in yet? It's a "Do as I say, don't do as I do" place.
You mean to tell me that I can't use Siri to initiate a call, play music, send a text etc.???
Are you or the NTSB going to pay to have fm transmitters installed into vehicles? Who would even use one of those given the alternatives that offer superior sound?
You mean to tell me that I paid extra for a Bose system in my car with an iPod dock to be DEGRADED to fm transmitters?
What kind of phone do you use? This answer would have been relevant 5 years ago, but not now.
We have had a ban in the UK for a while but sadly not everyone complies.
Cannot believe anyone would vote for anything other than a complete ban.
You people are all ignorant. To use the logic of most of you we should legalize drinking and driving. I could explain that to you but obviously it wouldn't make sense..
There is a reason there are safety guards and machinery. "Do not eat" labels on moisture packs. "Do not park on tracks" signs at railroad crossings. The list goes on and on. All those things are needed for stupid people. If you can't figure those things out on your own then you should be deemed to stupid to even use it. Stupid people forget they are driving and turn ALL their attention to their texting or phone call. They ending up killing themselves or others. If it wasn't for the stupid we could live happily using our devices without warnings but alas it's not meant to be..
They can pull an Alaskan compromise. Here they banned texting and any kind of headset or ear piece but allow you to talk on the phone held up to your ear while driving...
I do find it incredibly distracting when I'm catching up on The Office on Hulu and the road is curvy with lots of stop signs. NTSB should concentrate on straightening the roads and reducing the amount of annoying intersections.
I'm not sure this law would ever pass. The new cars that are being made have computers inside the dash. There are 2012 cars that have the ability to update your Facebook, and Twitter pages, built in GPS, etc... All these things require pressing the in-dash screen to accomplish the task. That can be just as distracting. Smoking, eating, and drinking is also distracting. Sometimes just having the kids in the car can be as distracting, or changing the playlist on your phone, or in dash iPod. Turning on the AC or heat on or off, or changing the radio station, or changing the song playing can be just as distracting. While I understand what the goal is, there will never truly be a way to limit distractions simply because of all the options in the cars (heat, AC, radio station, etc..).
I'll give you my smartphone when you pry it from my cold dead, hands - and NOT as a result of my using it on the road and killing myself.
Smartphones don't kill people. Stupid people using smartphone while they drive kills people.
If police officers can be trained to drive at high speeds using a computer and two-way radio without killing people, so can everyone else.
Absolutely ridiculous - I'm so sick of an all or nothing rule in this country.
There are bluetooth headsets, Voice Controls in almost EVERY phone out there... (Text Joe - I'll be late.) There are speedometer apps, GPS apps and so many other driving tools on smartphones. All to make it safer to use than most phones. If you're going to band smartphones - ban food, makeup, conversation with your passenger, looking at sites as you pass them, turning on the radio, heater or lights.
Ridiculous - Seriously.
If you have a true hands free means of communication, that should not be banned. Doing so is like saying one cannot speak to a passenger in the automobile - silly. But, it must be a true hands free device. This usually means a telephone module built into the automobile and uses a SIM Card of its own or and true Bluetooth device that allows hands free operation like changing the station on a normal car stereo. These are acceptable means of hands free in most Western civilizations so why not here at home. We need to better utilize the TECH that is available and hold 'people' accountable.
Here's a crazy idea -- no laws limiting the nebulous category of distracted driving, and let the people who have caused accidents because of distraction pay for their damage, just like other people who cause accidents. Seems like the system handles this already.
Unless it's an electronically enforced ban (i.e. disables the phone when the car is in motion) then it's not going to work. Weed is illegal but does that stop people from smoking it?
I think the ear piece thing was targeting bicycles and ended up including cars as well...
As for using the phone, I don't know they shot it down when it came up for vote in the legislature.
You don't need a fancy new car for that stuff. That's what modding is for!
Hey Big Government, STAY THE F*** OUT OF MY LIFE. Just another fund raising campaign, like seatbelt laws and speed traps.
Now there's an idea...

So basically what you're telling me, NTSB, is that you plan on having the police stop more than 95% of "traffic violators" because they were listening to the latest Black Eyed Peas track. While you're at it, patrol people at their jobs for having too many "distractions", schools, churches, oh and even your employees that are sure to be doing the same thing.
Case in point, distractions are going to happen regardless of what ban you place.
Guys & Gals now you can send me Audio Messages on Facebook and Twitter via Social Talkies http://t.co/6FmU6KbV - Looking for your messages..
Didnt some time ago it was marketed as a car phone ane when did the meaning mobile phone became use in the privacy of your own home.
They simply need to make you use Bluetooth or a wired handset, for call; texting while driving is already illegal in most states. If you can't use Bluetooth or a wired handset, then maybe you are too stupid to drive a car.
The best phone thing I ever bought was a windshield phone holder. I navigate, reply to texts, Facebook messages and emails with my voice, as it stays mounted to the holder. Even before Siri, I was able to talk to my phone with Voice Command.
As I was telling my wife this morning, we had mobile phones in the US long before anybody sent text messages. Reduce texting, and just call me on the damm phone. Use your voice!
If you want to go this route, ban anything that takes the drivers concentration away from the road. Radios, CD players, other people in the car, roadside advertising.....
The list goes on.
In your poll 20% AGREE to ban all cell phone use in cars. Now we know how many
sheep are among us.
Wondering if anyone read the source articles. From the NTSB site:
"The safety recommendation specifically calls for the 50 states and the District of Columbia to ban the nonemergency use of portable electronic devices (other than those designed to support the driving task) for all drivers."
Sooo, using PEDs (smartphones) for GPS would be acceptable.
Screw the NTSB, I use my phone for GPS functions if I want to. They're not going to get in bed with all the large manufacturers of GPS quipped cars, etc. just to force the public into buying a vehicle with those functions as options while prohibiting me from using my own device that I want. If I want to spend money on a device that is a cellphone, GPS, entertainment platform and use it as a multitasker for various facets of my life, I AM FREE TO DO SO. Anything else and it should be argued against. This country is going to shit quickly and stupid people voting for "middle ground" and "yes" above in the poll are to blame for it all!!!
People like you amaze me. Hands free and not, the distraction is still there. Just recently, I saw tests conducted one a person who was talking hands free on a phone and was asked to navigate an obsticle course while being asked various questions and guess what? They couldn't do it while they were talking "hands free" as you put it. The distraction comes from the fact that your brain can't do two things as once. Very few VERY... have the ability to do multiple things as once. Everyone else are actually unitaskers who quickly switch from one thing to another and that's what actually makes you think you can multitask.... you can't. The brain wasn't wired like that. What you're doing is concentrating on the conversation you're having and auto-driving. When an emergency happens, you flip over to the driving part quickly (if it's quick enough) and you immediately stop listening to what your call was about.
That's how it works people... the argument about handsfree or not has to do with taking your eyes off the road and since that can happen for anything that can go on in the car (picking up your cup of whatever, looking at something else in the mirrors, etc.) this ban is invalid because it doesn't depict that it's the "looking elseware" that's the problem. People put in charge of issues like this are idiots and don't see it as that, no matter how logical the viewpoints and studies are. Almost all the people in charge of making these changes aren't even aware that the human mind cannot multitask in the general sense of the term. It's a scientific fact and these people don't even know it. Not knowing such facts is what causes stupid rules and laws to be put into place.
You don't talk to passengers in your vehicle? It's too distracting?
Poor thing.
It won't matter if they ban it or not, people will still use their cell phones while they drive. I live in Connecticut and they already have something exactly like this, if a cop catches you talking, texting or fiddling with your phone, they will pull you over and give you a ticket.
If it's a blanket ban, which includes hands-free, what's next? You can't talk to anyone that's in the car either??? What's the difference?
We all know that using GPS in vehicles is dangerous when we're not keeping our eyes on the road. If we use a Vehicle Cell Phone Holder, the problem will be drastically reduced.


text: I don't get it either. I've heard several different pieces of Carver gear...and have never even been remotely impressed by them. I felt that my Adcom 545 was superior in essentially every way, aside from sheer power. Admittedly, I've never heard any of the higher end Carver pieces...but I have heard a decent variety of their "entry" level to mid level pieces.

Is no one watching Joan Rivers Parade of Dirty One-Liners and the Useless Brigade? Maybe Osborne can be taught--she and Kiebler were the dress standouts of the night. It's very sad when people who are currently on E! and the person who would be lucky to be on E! someday.
Though I did genuinely laugh out loud when she said Halle Berry looked like an art deco vibrator, cause she totally did. Other than that, the after-Oscars show is kind of flat because the dresses were flat. They're really going for the lowest common denominator with the lines, but the starlets didn't give them much material to work with.

The draft constitutional reforms programme is already ready. For this reason, it is not expedient to give any assessments, deputy chairman of the ruling RPA, head of the RPA parliamentary faction, Galust Sahakyan, said when replying to ArmInfo correspondent's question.
Mass media reported earlier that the commission on constitutional reforms under Armenia's president is going to submit the draft for referendum. The draft supposes Armenia's transition to the parliamentary government system, which supposes sharp growth of the authorities of prime minister to the detriment of those of the president.
Sahakyan said that the RPA is against transition to the parliamentary government system,

Rage Not Coming This Year, Says idby Chris Faylor, Mar 09, 2009 8:25am PDT
id's post-apocalyptic not-quite-open-world shooter Rage definitely "won't be out this year," id CEO Todd Hollenshead revealed in the latest episode of Gametrailers TV.
Though some debate whether Hollenshead said "will" or "won't," Geoff Keighley, who conducted the interview, confirmed via Twitter that Rage isn't coming this year.
Per usual, id has remained rather quiet about a possible release date for Rage, with project lead Tim Willits claiming that the PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Mac game will probably hit before 2011, assuming that's "when it's fun and when it's done."

A powerful combination of two ancient fruits. Goji are dried, shriveled red berries that look like red raisins. Goji berries contain high levels of vitamins and are rich in antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as beta carotene and zeaxanthin. These berries contain essential fatty acids which are essential for the proper functioning of the brain and nervous system. Milk thistle is a plant that has a long history of use as a folk remedy for liver and gallbladder disorders. The active ingredient, the one that protects the liver, is known as silymarin. Silymarin is actually a group of flavanoids -silibinin, silidianin, and silicristin, which are thought to help repair liver cells damaged by alcohol and other toxic substances and is a strong antioxidant.

|Jane Thune, 83
|Written by TRF Times
Bismarck, N.D. - Jane Thune, 83, Bismarck, N.D., died at the Baptist Home on Friday, Jan. 4, 2013.
Services will were held Monday, Jan. 7, at Trinity Lutheran Church, Bismarck, N.D., with Rev. Steve Sathre officiating. Interment was held at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery, Mandan, N.D.
Jane was born to Sigurd and Emma (Nomeland) Levorson on Aug. 8, 1929. She grew up in Grygla, and later moved to Thief River Falls. Her family originally migrated from Norway to the Mariland Farm in Lake Mills, Iowa. This was their home farm, where they had their own church and school. Although most of the family members have further migrated to Minnesota and North Dakota, the Levorson heritage still lives on in Iowa.
On June 19, 1949, Jane married Russell Thune in Thief River Falls and began her life as a farm wife, a job that she thoroughly enjoyed for many years. Thief River Falls always remained very important to her. Even after she and Russell moved to Bismarck in 1959, she continued to correspond with and visit many of her friends and farm neighbors over the years.
Jane was a stay-at-home mom and housekeeper who raised seven children. She loved to cook and bake and was even known to put a package of bread dough under the hood of the car so that it would be defrosted by the time they reached Grand Forks. We all have many fond memories of her holiday meals, baking and sewing.
Jane sewed clothes for her girls and mended jeans for her boys, which was a never-ending process. Even the grandchildren had patches on their jeans. She was very active in the St. Pauli Church in Minnesota and later at Trinity Lutheran Church in Bismarck. She worked countless weddings, funerals and fall festivals.
Jane especially enjoyed working at the church rummage sale which was a fundraiser for the church youth. Jane's community service also included being a great Boy Scout leader and homeroom mother at Pioneer Elementary School. Jane and Russell belonged to the Sons of Norway and were very active in the lutefisk dinners and selling lefse at the mall during holiday times. They also often met friends at the Norsk Hostfest, where her favorite performer was Alan Jackson.
She and Russell also loved to take trips together to places like Branson, Nashville, and her very favorite, Alaska. After her children grew older, a friend persuaded her to work as a banquet waitress at the Holiday Inn and other hotels in Bismarck. She made great friends and worked long hours serving conventions, weddings, and even politicians.
Jane is survived by her seven children, Lynette (Marty) Pitzer, Darlene (Tim) Shea, Patricia (Dennis) Bosch, David (Beth) Thune, Peter Thune, Bruce Thune (special friend, Nancy Schmidt) , and Kevin (Betty) Thune. She is also survived by 15 grandchildren, Michelle Pitzer, Brian Pitzer, Beth Fennern, Chip Shea, John Shea, Andy Shea, Kristin Hager, Craig Bosch, Kara Thune, Mike Thune, Bob Thune, Erica Thune, Joel Thune, Jared Thune and Marcus Thune; 12 great-grandchildren; her sister-in-law, Myrtle Thune; and special friends, Ervin and Ramona Wanner.
Jane was preceded in death by her husband, Russell Thune, who passed away on Oct. 9, 2012; her parents; one sister; and one brother.
Memorials may be given to Trinity Lutheran Church, Sons of Norway, or the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery.
Go to www.eastgatefuneral.com to share memories of Jane and sign the online guestbook.

North American Edition2014-07-25 11:34 UTC
EUR-USD came under some pressure into the end of the week, after the softer than expected German Ifo reading, which showed geo-political tensions weighing on business confidence. Expectations for an improvement in U.S. durable goods orders this morning has added some pressure a well. The euro touched 1.3442 lows, after again running into resistance at 1.3475. Elsewhere, USD-JPY upside momentum continued following N.Y. gains on Thursday, taking that ... Read More ►
European Edition2014-07-28 07:39 UTC
Narrow ranges have prevailed among the main currencies in early week trade ahead of a number of central bank policy meetings and a flood of key data releases due this week. EUR-USD flat-lined around 1.3430-35, while USD-JPY traded fractionally higher to the 101.85 area. AUD-USD also saw quite traded, failing to sustain levels above 0.9400, subsequently dipping to the 0.9385-95 area. Stock markets in Asia were bullish, with the MSCI region gauge set ... Read More ►
Asian Edition2014-07-25 18:07 UTC
The dollar rallied modestly, but broadly in N.Y. on Friday, as weak German Ifo data combined with EU threats of further Russian sanctions, and apparent Russian movement of materiel into Ukraine, to push EUR-USD to new trend lows. The euro's decline set the market up for further dollar buying, which resulted in USD-JPY rallying to nearly three-week highs just under 101.95, and cable moving back toward 1.6770.

For anyone able to watch CTV Halifax, Shawn Sawyer is supposed to be on their "Live at Five" show tomorrow (26 April) - it airs from 5 to 6 p.m. ADT.
Can't skate but love to watch
I still hate that the Hamilton show is on a Thursday (one week from tomorrow!) but I'm starting to get excited about seeing what Kurt has up his sleeve for CSOI this year. It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun!
An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldnt do. I cant skate or play hockey, Votto said. Well, I can skate ... but I cant stop.
"I guess I'm just...I'm not used to someone putting me first." -Emma, Once Upon a Time, episode 2x3, Lady of the Lake

According to the SOI Facebook page, there's a new girls' number!
2012 World Bronze Medalists Narumi Takahashi & Mervin Tran will join a cast of Olympic, World, and National Champion skaters for the performance in Regina, SK.
Nice for Mervin to be able to skate at home in Saskatchewan. (And for the fans too!)
Still wondering what guest skater we may get in Victoria as that's the show iam attending. Last year it was Miki Ando.
Halifax Chronicle Herald article:
Browning laces up for his first stint shaping and skating in Stars on Ice
If anyone is able to attend the Hamilton show on May 3rd, groupon is offering tickets and ticket packages for as little as $15. There are also packages for $35 (which includes a signed poster of Joannie Rochette) and $75 (which includes the poster and access to the pre-show warm-up. I believe these prices include extra fees, but I don't know for sure.
Thanks for the heads up. For the Winnipeg show it says the poster is signed by Kurt Browning. Just a note for anyone interested, the higher the ticket price the better the seat choice as well.
Did nobody go see the Halifax show? Would love a review/report if anyone went!
yes please ! some report would be nice !
Nice feature w/ Kurt and his family:
Has Kurt taken on more of the organizing/ choreo for the SOI U.S. shows as well?

Huge thank you to Glamour! I cannot even begin to describe what it felt like to be in the room with women like Arianna Huffington, Lea Michele, Jennifer Lopez, and Gloria Steinem!!! (Side note: I also died a little when I saw Marc Jacobs walk in).
When I first heard about the event, I immediately reached out to the fabulous designer, Rani Zakhem. Rani makes some of the most gorgeous red carpet worthy dresses for plus sizes, and I knew I'd love to wear one of his designs. A few months ago, I had the pleasure of going to the photo shoot for his Spring 2012 Lookbook and I was blown away. Rani told me his collection was inspired by Elizabeth Taylor, and I could definitely see the influence in his color choices and glamorous draping. Everything was so intricately designed, from the perfectly tailored cocktail dresses to the flowing, beaded gowns. I fell in love with a camel colored dress with voluminous sleeves, a sheer top, and sequined shoulders. For this event, he was kind enough to custom make it for me in black!
