Lady Gaga cancels rest of tour due to injured hip
Lady Gaga performs at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. on Dec. 15, 2012. / AP
Updated 9:48 PM ET
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Lady Gaga has canceled the rest of her tour dates due to a hip injury.
Live Nation Global Touring said in a news release Wednesday that Lady Gaga has a tear in her right hip that will require surgery, followed by a recovery period.
The pop star's website showed 21 dates through March 20 remaining on her "Born This Way Ball" tour schedule. Fans who have already bought tickets will receive a refund beginning Thursday.
Lady Gaga postponed four dates on Tuesday after experiencing difficulties Monday during her concert in Montreal. The singer's show is high energy with non-stop dancing. She explained to fans on Twitter that she'd hurt herself while performing some time ago.
She wrote: "I hid it from my staff, I didn't want to disappoint my amazing fans. However after last nights performance I could not walk and still can't".
Gaga has not tweeted since.
A news release announcing postponements Tuesday said the 26-year-old singer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, was suffering from synovitis, an inflammation of the joints. She underwent tests Wednesday morning that showed she had a labral tear in her right hip, however. The labrum is a layer of muscle that helps holds the ball-shaped hip joint in place. The news release says the surgery will require strict downtime.
The tour, in support of her second album "Born This Way," began last April in Asia and was one of 2012's highest grossing.
Pollstar reported the tour made more than $161 million in 2012 with an average attendance of more than 31,000, making it the fifth-highest grossing tour.

NH woman helps nab 2 suspects with broom
Posted: 02/21/13 at 10:20 pm Updated: 02/22/13 at 5:52 am
Tags: Windham New Hampshire broom suspects Katherine Reader
WINDHAM, Mass. (WHDH) -- A woman in Windham, New Hampshire stopped an alleged break-in at a neighbor's home by scaring away the suspects with a broom.
It happened right as Katherine Reader was cooking dinner Thursday afternoon.
"And I could see right from my stove, right out my window," Reader explained.
Police say what she saw was a home break-in underway at her neighbor's house. But Reader wasn't having it, so she armed herself with a broom, and walked over.
"And it made me so angry that they broke into her house, so I just picked up the broom and I kept saying, 'Don't go anywhere, stay where you are, I got you covered,'" Reader said.
She came face-to-face with one of the suspects; her bold entrance apparently spooked him.
Windham police say the two suspects tried to run but didn't get far. Reader was on their tail.
"And I'm swinging the broom back and forth like I'm really going to hurt this guy, right? Well, I made him so nervous he backed right into a snow bank and couldn't get out," Reader said.
Burnt rubber could be seen in the pile of snow.
"Luck was not on their side today," said Detective Bryan Bliss, Windham, New Hampshire Police Department.
Police say the home has been hit before -- but the big mystery is why. The home is up for sale, and there's virtually nothing of value inside.
"I do not advocate other people to do it. Go home, call 911," Reader said.
Both suspects will appear in court Friday morning.

Please contact us for an obligation-free discussion of your requirements.
The Impact of Illustrating Performance
The initial impact of illustrating a project's performance against our successful delivery criteria using the radar chart was to increase the level of understanding of the challenges they faced by project owners.
Our reporting format, already focused and in plain English, was seen to have greatly improved impact once the radar chart was added. By reflecting the report's findings in a simple graphic, we were able to develop almost instant recognition of where the main challenges lay. We find clients are immediately more interested in what a particular shape represents, and this interest leads to enquiry and a deeper understanding of their own project environment.
A simple chart is shown below.
Shortly after introducing the radar chart for our clients, our ongoing analysis showed some interesting trends at an organizational level. Firstly, by following a single project through its lifecycle, we are able to show performance over time and also interpret how the host organisation is responding to the project. Secondly, by analyzing a series of projects within the same organisation, we are able to identify if any of the limiting factors are generic, and therefore whether they offer an even greater opportunity for improvement.
This chart illustrates how three different projects in three different business units of the same organisation, exhibit a similar shape.
If you would like to know more about how Valuta's straightforward approach can help you improve the performance of your organisation, get in touch using the contact form on our website. We look forward to working with you.

text: I know there are doubters that are getting louder… but at the end of the day lifetime earnings add up. Below is the differential in wages by educational attainment among those employed. It's not only the wage differential in itself that matters, but you have to also consider the significantly lower unemployment rates for those with more education that compounds these numbers. Also some recent commentary from the Cleveland Fed is pretty clear that the premia for higher education is not going away anytime soon.

Apparently, so did many other families because the seats were full of kids with their parents. The actual movie was distasteful and vulgar. I was there with teens who all agreed with me. It should definately have had some kind of warning in the promos. I'm surprised that the Dexter theater would show such a movie. -- Posted by songbird on Thu, Aug 16, 2007, at 7:43 AM

Thats your big horrible example?
Yes , it is not clearly stated in the 'Destroyed-explodes!'rules but the FAQ's do back up the idea that the unit placed after an explosion 'counts as' disembarking.
The example given is worded a bit wonky (the vehicle would have had to have moved to disallow an assault, Open topped would not allow them to assault as per BRB FAQ
Hardly a damning ruling, especialy when they label it as a 'rules change' and is how most folks I know all play it.Q: Do any upgrades or special rules a vehicle has cease
to work once it is destroyed? (p61)
A: Yes. For example if a Land Raider Crusader is
destroyed by ramming an enemy vehicle, its embarked
passengers would not be able to launch an assault in
the ensuing Assault phase as they would no longer
benefit from its Assault Vehicle special rule
At the time of the so called nerf of ATSKNF, there were two strong points in the debate.
Each side had good arguements, the INAT took the weaker one as neither could be proved at that time (pre FAQ)
I found that to be a good call, yes many people didn't agree, but a fair call at that time.

CD/LP/Track Review
Sheryl Bailey: The Power of 3 (2003)
Guitarist Sheryl Bailey is chameleon-like in her ability to bring inventive coloration to traditional forms. She has released a sizzling guitar goddess CD, Little Misunderstood; a bluesy dual guitar follow-up, Reunion of Souls; and adds highly original stylings to David Krakauer's Klezmer Madness. Her latest recording, The Power of 3, further broadens this diversity by featuring nine new Bailey originals in the context of a traditional Hammond B-3 organ trio. The one constant in all this variety is one hell of a guitarist.
The Power of 3 is presented as a gathering to celebrate the consummate B-3/guitar pairings of Jimmy Smith/Wes Montgomery, Dr. Lonnie Smith/George Benson, Grant Green/Larry Young and others. The SB3 easily accomplishes this undertaking without falling into the obvious trap of becoming too syrupy. Bailey then goes a step further and expands the genre by offering up catchy original melodies that allow her to improvise with her bandmates, Gary Versace on the B-3 and Ian Froman on drums.
"Starbrite" opens the session with fun fat guitar, sandwiching Versace's organ, straying into Ray Manzarek's "Soul Kitchen" before heading back to Bailey's initial groove. Versace plays the B-3 the way it should be on the funky but chic "Ray's Way," with Bailey providing chordal backdrop before flaunting some nice licks of her own. "Something Blue," with its punchout beginning, trademark flying fingered fretwork, and clear crisp runs, is evidence that Sheryl Bailey has the maturity to move from center stage to chordmistress and back again.
Two very personal moments are also shared. "Death Toll," written 9/11/01, has a free-formish beginning that melds into a bluesy mood and then surprisingly finds a forward looking and upbeat melody. "(Until You) Return To Me," through its use of intriguing chords, imparts an innermost solitude that allows organ and guitar to meld and then switch off each other. With The Power of 3, Sheryl Bailey has reinforced her status as one of NYC's best young guitarists and in the process emerged as a skillful session leader.
This review originally appeared in All About Jazz-New York June 2003.

A great place to stay. Very homey, with Adirondack themed rooms including furniture and fixtures. Not the place for you if you like very modern decor.

Make cupcakes as directed in Basic Cupcake How-To, omitting eggs and using milk and vanilla for wet ingredients. Beat egg whites to stiff peaks, and fold into batter. Fold in chocolate chips. Bake cupcakes about 22 minutes. Frost with buttercream, and serve immediately.
these cupcakes look really good but at the same time they are much too sweet, they taste just like butter and sugar...and you don't need that much chocolate chips
REALLY wanted to love these cupcakes...but didn't. Made them for a baby shower I hosted, and they ended up being the DRIEST cupcakes I've ever made. They weren't overcooked, and I'm fairly sure I can attirbuite the driness to the use of egg whites, which instead of making the batter light and fluffy made it extremely dry.
Would not recommend.
These were...well, okay. They just seemed rather one dimensional and too sweet. Definitely cut back on the sugar and the amount of chocolate chips. However, the actual cake was a very nice consistency.
These cupcakes are SO good. The use of egg whites really adds to a light and fluffy texture often hard to find in a homemade cake. Very sweet, and very good!
These cupcakes were a hit at my daughter's birthday celebration. Delicious!

He is the best dentist I have ever had. They have a "no-pain policy", and ever since becoming a patient of his, I have yet to encounter or experience any pain while working on my teeth :)
Maria is always Excellent!
Hi Friends: I appreciate your recent kindness, getting me and out so quickly. I came in to make an appointment and I was fit into the schedule. Fabulous!
Thank you once again.
fondly, Steve Rebuck
I have never been happier or more trusting with my dentists.
Got my implant impressions! Yeah! Went as smoothly as can be. Dr. Murphy is expedient, gentle and just plain wonderful as is his assistant.
So glad to hear Dr. Mark is doing well with his journey back to us. Hope he is taking good care of his Dahlias.
As Always, Tami is professional and makes you feel relaxed.
Excellant as always!
Always great service!!
Great as always!
I always have a positive experience. The entire staff is amazing.
Love my hygienist. She is EXCELLENT!!!!!

Large-Scale Web Site Infrastructure and Drupal
Search is resource-intensive. Optimizing search will contribute to overall site performance and is a great process to outsource to another box. Solr can help ease an over-burdened Web server. Solr is a project from the Apache Foundation that takes the power of Lucene, a fantastic indexer and searcher, and exposes it as a Web service. Using HTTP POST and GET requests, you can feed documents to Solr for indexing and issue queries for searching. In Drupal, the Views module serves as a visual query-builder and handles search. With Views 3, in Drupal, you can plug in Solr to handle the search heavy-lifting instead of having Drupal hit MySQL for this, alleviating a load on your database server best left to a document indexer like Lucene.
Apache's MaxClients setting is a limit on the number of simultaneous requests that can be served. If this limit is reached, users have to wait until a child process is freed up until they can connect. If this number is increased too much, however, there is a risk that the Web head will run out of memory. There's a standard formula for figuring out what this setting should be based upon the RAM available to the machine:
formula: RAM/Average Apache Memory Size in Use = # max clients
example: 2GB/20MB = 100 MaxClients
Apache's mod_expires setting controls the HTTP header information for anything served through Apache to your machine. If a resource has been cached on a user's computer, this setting can tell any subsequent request to that resource if it has expired and needs to be downloaded again. It's a good idea to have this turned on for text/HTML header types:
<IfModule mod_expires.c> ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault A1209600 ExpiresByType text/html A1 </IfModule>
The KeepAlive setting is a way to tell Apache to keep an HTTP connection alive for a period of time so that it can be reused. This has been shown to result in an almost 50% speed increase in latency times for HTML documents with many images. Turn this on and set the KeepAliveTimeout to 2 seconds:
KeepAlive On KeepAliveTimeout 2
MySQL is the most widely used database for Drupal, although Drupal 6 also supports Postgres. Drupal 7 has an object-oriented database abstraction layer that allows drivers to be written for many other database systems. There are some key things to keep in mind within MySQL's configuration that can help optimize your application for performance.
MySQL has a built-in query cache that is turned on by default. Make sure to afford a liberal amount of memory to this cache:
[mysqld] query_cache_size=32M
Once your application is built, it's a good idea to log slow queries for a short amount of time to get a list of queries that are taking a long time and can be examined with an EXPLAIN and then optimized:
log-slow-queries = /var/log/slow_query.log long_query_time = 5 #log-queries-not-using-indexes
MySQL's EXPLAIN command is a great way to find out exactly what a particular query is doing in order to get some clues as to why it may be taking a long time to evaluate and return a result. One of the key things to look at is the number of rows that EXPLAIN tells you it had to search through. This may indicate that one of your tables, bursting at the seams, is a good candidate for a new index.
Taking a look at the following query, we see there are three fields that could have an index placed upon them in order to reduce the number of rows that a query has to search through in order to find the desired result:
... FROM node node WHERE node.status = 1 AND node.type IN ('story') ORDER BY node.created DESC
The status, type and created fields are key to this query's result and can be indexed so that they are seen as a group:
mysql> ALTER TABLE node ADD INDEX (status, type, created);
Table locking can be a performance headache. By default, Drupal's MySQL database tables are all set to MyISAM. Because MyISAM locks the entire table down during a query, high traffic may cause MySQL errors when a certain table is unavailable or locked. If you start seeing these errors, look at which tables are giving the error and evaluate whether they should be set to InnoDB instead. InnoDB does row locking instead of table locking. When evaluating, look to see if the table has any auto_increment fields, and keep in mind that converting this table may cause slow-downs on INSERTs, as InnoDB does a full table lock on INSERTs to avoid key duplication.
Grammy.com Numbers
Well since everyone else is throwing their business pitches in here...
The approach described in this article essentially replicates how Lullabot (the authors of this article) scaled grammy.com to 213 million page views within a single day. Most of those over a 6 hour window during the 52nd awards show. In those same 6 hours, we registered 50,000 new user accounts. Amazingly, we couldn't even measure the full potential of the set up because our hosting providers load-testing cluster couldn't send requests fast enough to bring the site down.
Slides and configuration files of this setup were presented at DrupalCamp Colorado.

table locks
keep in mind that converting this table may cause slow-downs on INSERTs, as InnoDB does a full table lock on INSERTs to avoid key duplication.
For this advice to be applicable, the table would need to be undergoing more writes than reads. How many tables are like this? Not many. Watchdog is the only one that I can think of, and if that is seeing that many writes you have bigger problems.
I instead advise changing _all_ tables to InnoDB. This allows you to tune MySQL only for InnoDB, reducing the MyISAM-only buffers to near-zero (the information_schema and mysql databases still use MyISAM, so you can't completely disable it). This also reduces complexity to only be worried about one engine. The only time this does not apply is when the server has limited RAM, as a well-tunned InnoDB server requires more RAM than a well-tuned MyISAM server.
Drupal can scale to millions of page views a day
There are many ways to scale Drupal.
At 2bits.com, we prefer simpler ways without added complexity both at the code level and the infrastructure level.

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

This tutorial will show various samples of using SqlCeCmd, which is available at http://sqlcecmd.codeplex.com – sqlcecmd is the "equivalent" of sqlcmd for the full SQL Server product.
The series will be in three parts, the first one demonstrates how to manage entire database files, the second how to create database objects and insert/update data, the third relating to querying data.
Simply type "sqlcecmd" at the command prompt:
Notice that the –d parameter is always required. It is a SQL Compact connection string as documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlserverce.sqlceconnection.connectionstring.aspx
sqlcecmd –d "Data Source=C:\test.sdf" –e create
sqlcecmd -d "Data Source=C:\test.sdf;Case Sensitive=True;Password=p" -e create
sqlcecmd -d "Data Source=C:\Northwind.sdf" -e upgrade
sqlcecmd -d "Data Source=C:\Northwind.sdf" -e compact
You can change the following four database options on an existing database: Change password, Change encryption mode, Change locale id, Change case sensitivity
Possible values for encryption mode are: engine default or platform default or ppc2003 compatibility
sqlcecmd -d "Data Source=C:\test.sdf;Case Sensitive=True;Password=p" -z "Data Source=;Encryption Mode=ppc2003 compatibility;Case Sensitive=false"
del c:\test.sdf
Stay tune for the next part, creating and modifying database objects.

Then Our Buildings Shape Us
Winston Churchill famously said, "First we shape our buildings, and afterwards, our buildings shape us." He was talking about the reconstruction of the House of Parliament, which was damaged in a bombing raid in World War II. There was a debate about how to shape the chamber to best accommodate the deliberative activity of the body that met in it. Churchill was talking about buildings, but it turns out his insight is a very general one indeed.
Developers are constantly debating their choices of language, platform, editor, methodology, and even where to put the curly braces. The robust internal dialog in community is a healthy thing, but our debates are often focused on the wrong topics. Have you ever compared languages by performance benchmarks? Platforms by alleged claims of developer productivity? Methodologies by feature velocity? There is a very good chance you're doing it wrong.
Rather than focus on the material content of our debates—language performance, editor productivity, methodological velocity—we should take Churchill's advice and think about the form of our choices. How will our choice of language influence the way we solve future problems? What assumptions does our methodology make about the nature of work? How will our choice of database affect the kinds of problems we think of as solvable?
Drawing on lessons from building architecture, literature, music, the visual arts, and even software itself, we'll learn the priority of interpreting the form of things before attempting to understand their content. You may never look at software architecture the same way again.
NoSQL Smackdown 2012
Alternative databases continue to establish their role in the technology stack of the future—and for many, the technology stack of the present. Making mature engineering decisions about when to adopt new products is not easy, and requires that we learn about them both from an abstract perspective and from a very concrete one as well. If you are going to recommend a NoSQL database for a new project, you're going to have to look at code.
In this talk, we'll examine three important contenders in the NoSQL space: Cassandra, MongoDB, and Neo4J. We'll review their data models, scaling paradigms, and query idioms. Most importantly, we'll work through the exercise of modeling a real-world problem with each database, and look at the code and queries we'd use to implement real product features. Come to this session for a thorough and thoroughly practical smackdown between three important NoSQL products.
Connected Data with Neo4j
Neo4j is an open-source, enterprise-class database with a conventional feature set and a very unconventional data model. Like the databases we're already used to, it offers support for Java, ACID transactions, and a feature-rich query language. But before you get too comfortable, you have to wrap your mind around its most important feature: Neo4j is a graph database, built precisely to store graphs efficiently and traverse them more performantly than relational, document, or key/value databases ever could.
Neo4j is an obvious fit to anyone who thinks they have a graph problem to solve, but this is not many people. It turns out that the most interesting property of Neo4j is its architectural agenda. It wants you to think of the entire world as a graph—as a set of connected information resources. Steeped in the thinking of resource oriented architecture, this NoSQL database wants to change the way you look at your world, and unlock new value in your data as a result.
Neo4J Workshop
Gradle Workshop (Bring a Laptop)
Gradle. Another build tool? Come on! But before you say that, take a look at the one you are already using.
Whether your current tool is Make, Rake, Ant, or Maven, Gradle has a lot to offer. It leverages a strong object model like Maven, but a mutable, not predetermined one. Gradle relies on a directed acyclic graph (DAG) lifecycle like Maven, but one that can be customized. Gradle offers imperative build scripting when you need it (like Ant), but declarative build approaches by default (like Maven). In short, Gradle believes that conventions are great -- as long as they are headed in the same direction you need to go. When you need to customize something in your build, your build tool should facilitate that with a smile, not a slap in the face. And customizations should be in a low-ceremony language like Groovy. Is all this too much to ask?
Gradle has received the attention of major open source efforts and has chalked up significant conversions by the Spring Integration, Hibernate, and Grails projects. What do these technology leaders see in this bold new build tool? They see not only a better way to build Java applications, but an extensive ecosystem of connecting to existing Ant and Maven build files while expanding the horizon of test, CI, and deployment automation in an easy manner. Join us for 90 minutes and let us take you on this same walk of discovery of the most innovative build tool you've ever seen.
When you want to measure fractions of a millimeter, you get a micrometer. When you want to measure centimeters, you get a ruler. When you want to measure kilometers, you might use a laser beam. The abstract task is the same in all cases, but the tools differ significantly based on the size of the measurement.
Likewise, there are some computations that can be done quickly on data structures that fit into memory. Some can't fit into memory, but will fit on the direct-attached disk of a single computer. But when you've got many terabytes or even petabytes of data, you need tooling adapted to the scale of the task. Enter Hadoop.
Hadoop is a widely-used open source framework for storing massive data sets in distributed clusters of computers and efficiently distributing computational tasks around the cluster. Come learn about the Hadoop File System (HDFS), the MapReduce pattern and its implementation, and the broad ecosystem of tools, products, and companies that have grown up around this ground-breaking project.
Clojure has recently been gaining attention as one of the most innovative languages of the JVM in current use, and it has mostly found a home on the server. In parallel, JavaScript has ascended to the position of the most important language of the web, and until recently it has lived only on the client. Few observers looked at the world of web development and predicted that these two would get together. Happily for us, they have!
Decision Making in Software Teams
Alistair Cockburn has described software development as a game in which we choose among three moves: invent, decide, and communicate. Most of our time at No Fluff is spent learning how to be better at inventing. Beyond that, we understand the importance of good communication, and take steps to improve in that capacity. Rarely, however, do we acknowledge the role of decision making in the life of software teams, what can cause it to go wrong, and how to improve it.
In this talk, we will explore decision making pathologies and their remedies in individual, team, and organizational dimensions. We'll consider how our own cognitive limitations can lead us to to make bad decisions as individuals, and what we might do to compensate for those personal weaknesses. We'll learn how a team can fall into decision-making dysfunction, and what techniques a leader might employ to healthy functioning to an afflicted group. We'll also look at how organizational structure and culture can discourage quality decision making, and what leaders to swim against the tide.
Software teams spend a great deal of time making decisions that place enormous amounts of capital on the line. Team members and leaders owe it to themselves to learn how to make them well.

Reflecting on how a consumer would interact with an HD Radio station on a smartphone or other mobile device and the backend ecosystem for making that work, Rey Mena, founder and co-president of Emmis Interactive, said "We've closed the backchannel."
That, and the demo of a prototype smartphone that contains an enabled FM HD Radio chip, are the big news for digital radio at this show.
A year ago, NAB FASTROAD — which stands for Flexible Advanced Services for Television & Radio On All Devices and is now under the new NAB LABS — provided funding and charged iBiquity Digital, Intel and Emmis Interactive, with BIA/Kelsey in a project management role, to develop an end-to-end system for HD Radio on a smartphone.
The timing was right for a lot of reasons, but especially because HD Radio chip size, power consumption and cost have dropped enough to make the concept workable.
Intel, along with iBiquity, has been working on chip development while Emmis Interactive has been leveraging iBiquity technology to create a new HD Radio app and a backend system, to insert and track ads and associated data all the way from the automation system to broadcast.
Emmis Interactive is calling the broadcast insertion system "TagStation." The system pairs HD Radio broadcasts with the phone's data channel to deliver features like couponing, geo-location ads, SMS integration and other advanced advertising capabilities. The effort will drive what Mena says is a more interactive HD Radio experience.
"When we took on this project we asked ourselves, 'Could we create a competitive product that leverages the best of broadcasting radio, yet uses the data channel to create an immersive experience for the consumer and opens up aworld for advertisers to engage listeners?,'" Mena said. "The answer was yes. Today, we've created a product that redefines the HD Radio experience. Our solution will not only deliver a unique experience, but make advertising measurable, which is something not possible with broadcast radio."
With the updated HD Radio app, the visuals on the phone look like they would with a streamed audio product, helping radio keep up with other personalized audio in the dash and other mobile devices. That kind of relevancy, especially as consumers connect their smartphones into their cars to hear "their" audio Internet streams, is key, say digital radio proponents.
"Being on the phone is essential for radio," said iBiquity Digital President and CEO Bob Struble, who's been warning that radio cannot take its place in the digital dashboard for granted.
Indeed, explains Mena, the new HD Radio app and associated backchannel "will help radio regain some of its luster in the dash. What everybody else is selling is an experience," he said, referring to Internet and other personalized audio services.
The new work promises to go beyond Artist Experience, in which HD audio is synched with visual images, like album art. Clear Channel and Greater Media are deploying Artist Experience while Beasley is implementing both Artist Experience as well as its cousin: "Advertiser Experience."
"Advertiser Experience is offered at one of our stations, KCYE(FM) in Vegas right now," said NAB Radio Board Chair Caroline Beasley, who's also executive vice president and chief financial officer of Beasley Broadcast Group. She said with a newer HD Radio receiver, attendees will be able to see how KCYE implements Advertiser Experience from the show floor.
The industry is united in the effort to persuade wireless carriers and handset makers to integrate FM HD Radio chips in more cell phone models and other devices, say digital radio proponents. Those discussions are ongoing and Mena says the initial response from carriers has been "extremely favorable."
The pitch to carrier: The broadcasting one-to-many model is an efficient use of spectrum as carriers face the need to limit their customers' data use. But to persuade wireless carriers to build such mobile devices, proponents feel stations need more flexibility to raise digital power — to enable advanced data features afforded by digital radio technology. Higher power also would allow digital coverage to better match that of analog FM, seen as critical to the effort to encourage HD FM chips in mobile devices, proponents feel.
In January 2010, the FCC allowed most FM HD stations to increase digital power voluntarily by up to –6 dB, to 14 dB below carrier. Some can go up to 10 dB below carrier, depending on distance separations from first-adjacent stations. The symmetric increase allowed digital FMs to replicate analog service more closely, in terms of geographic coverage area and building penetration.
Since May 2010, stations may raise digital power and simply tell the commission via notification letter. The number of FMs transmitting HD Radio has increased to 1,708 as of March, according to the FCC. That compares to some 1,627 FMs from the same time last year.
Based on a review of a sample of notifications, the Media Bureau estimated that 361 FMs are now operating with increased digital power, with most implementing the 6 dB increase and operating at –14 dBc.
But proponents, and the commission, believe more FMs would be able to raise their digital power levels and avoid interference to their neighbors if they could do so asymmetrically. Right now, stations need experimental authorization to do so. The commission is reviewing comments on the issue.
Several transmitter manufacturers exhibiting at the show indicate their customers' stations are interested in the higher FM HD power levels, and will get a transmitter that can operate at higher power when they do first-time conversions or facility modifications.
Nautel Regional Sales Manager Gary Liebisch said the ability to put multicast channels on FM translators has sparked interest in small-market stations to go HD.
Ibiquity Digital estimates close to 2,200 stations are transmitting HD Radio signals, with an additional 1,300 multicast channels.
At the show, attendees will see several cars displayed, according to Steve Baldacci iBiquity's digital senior vice president of marketing. The tech developer announced expanded support from automakers earlier this year, saying HD Radio receivers are or will be available as a factory-installed feature on more than 110 vehicle models from 23 automotive brands.
IBiquity is planning a celebration at the show, to celebrate the consumer launch of HD Radio in Mexico City today.
Several sessions are devoted to HD Radio at the show. Chief among them is today's all-day Broadcast Engineering Conference workshop, "HD Radio 101 for Managers and Engineers." The goal is to provide attendees with a successful implementation strategy for HD Radio technology from management and engineering perspectives.
Another BEC session covers a new type of FM+HD booster system being tested using a Harris transmission system. Also, NPR Labs plans to demo its new online mapping system showing FM HD and DTV coverage.

Chace Crawford OUTTED As GAY?!
The New York Observer claims Chace Crawford is gay! Do YOU think Chace Crawford is indeed homosexual? Sound off in the comments!
Via Gay.Net... The Observer story (entitled, "Outward Bound: Celebs Struggle To Keep Sexuality Secret(ish), But Media Makes Trouble") began by mentioning "a dashing young man who's been involved with several starlets despite whispers about his close relationships with other men—sitting for [an] entire party in close conversation with a well-groomed gent." They continue, "As we passed, [his] plus-one stared us down, as if to say, 'Step off,' or perhaps, 'Don't you dare write about this.'"Only at the end of the article do they identify the "dashing young man" as Crawford, thus insinuating that he prefers the company of suspicious men who shoot dirty looks at entertainment writers—MRROW!! Gay rumors are nothing new to Crawford. Blogs have whispered about him and his Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick (pictured above) being in a conspicuous bromance for years. But while The Observer makes sure to say "the question of whether... [this] virile young actor was enjoying the company of one man—if not the company of men—is very much still open," the story ends with openly gay celeb Lance Bass saying, "If you're in the closet, you get made fun of more than if you just come out!" and then concludes with this:
"If he's in fact gay, that's a lesson Chace Crawford—the dashing, engrossed young man at the premiere—may do well to heed."
So even if they haven't outright outed Crawford, the Observer still thinks the young star very very likely is."

Ich finde Chace einmalig schön, sehr süß und total sexy. Und ich sehne mich sehr danach, seinen bezaubernd schönen Adonis-Körper, vor allem sein supersüßes Bäuchlein, seine knackigen, sehr zarten, total leckeren Brüste und seinen wunderschönen Rücken ganz zärtlich zu streicheln und zu liebkosen. Ich würde unseren Chace nach allen Regeln der Kunst verführen und ihn so sehr und so lange verwöhnen, bis er einen Orgasmus bekommt und kräftig ejakuliert. Danach würde ich ihm noch viele Zärtlichkeiten schenken und ihn damit sanft in den Schlaf geleiten; denn ich habe unseren Chace von Herzen lieb. Ginge meine Sehnsucht doch in Erfüllung! Ich wäre sehr glücklich. Ramona |

Bella Thorne's dad died in a car accident when she was only 9 years old, so she and her family celebrate special occasions like Father's Day in a way to honor his memory.
Here's a beautiful letter she wrote in memory of her dad:
"Since Father's Day is coming up on Sunday, I wanted to talk to you guys about my daddy. As a lot of you might already know, he passed away in a car accident when I was 9. Losing someone you love is never easy, and not a day goes by that I don't miss him.
But when you do lose someone important to you, there are so many things you can do to keep their memory alive. I send a balloon to heaven every year on the day my daddy passed to remember him, and think about how special he was to me on his birthday and Father's Day too.
I also try to honor his memory by being the best person I can be and helping others. My daddy always taught me not to give up and to believe in myself, so I try to remember that everyday. I only wish he was here to see everything I've achieved."

I have always worried that using a vanity would make me vain and I'm much to proud of my humility to chance it.
- Bliss, January 31, 2012 at 2:56 PM
If I was going to be a sitter I would of had to do that years ago. Now I need to see good, so have to get right up close and personal with the mirror so I don't paint my cheek.
~Bliss~ - Erin~Just*Grand, January 31, 2012 at 3:02 PM
Hi, Lindsey! I can't open the link? I get an error message... I will try again later.
I love what she has done... - Sass - aka - Kathy, January 31, 2012 at 3:17 PM
Pretty, but I'd have trouble getting my thighs under that vanity while sitting on that chair. And my thighs are not bad.
- VintageDanielle, January 31, 2012 at 3:25 PM
I always wanted a vanity but the lighting in my bathroom is better. I'm more of a standing and hovering over the sink while doing makeup kind of gal :)
- Katie, January 31, 2012 at 3:45 PM
I love your blog and read it everyday! I have always wanted to sit down for makeup. Never had the space. We just moved into a house (in Tucson, o neighbor to the north) in which the bathroom is so crowded and hideous, I just want to get in and get out! Our bathroom is the last renovation on the list, too. Enter my antique roll top desk. I sat down at it last Saturday while hubby was showering. (Movie night) Aha! the light and the ambiance are just perfect for makeup. So, I finally got my vanity. It was there all along. By the way, the desk was stripped and refinished without power tools by my mother when she was a teenager, for fun. That's either weird or inspiring, depending on your point of view.
- Pour Girl, January 31, 2012 at 4:09 PM
So pretty but I agree with the commenter above-my thighs wouldn't stand a chance of fitting under that thing, haha! Maybe that's why I prefer to stand?
- Mellodee, January 31, 2012 at 9:57 PM
Never had a vanity, so I stand. I would love one, but only if I could actually get close enough to see. NOBODY could get their thighs under this vanity with that chair. Maybe a lower stool with a little skirt??
- Annette Martin, January 31, 2012 at 10:06 PM
I totally understand the foot in the sink. I started doing this but then ended up just sitting on the counter with both in the sink. So I guess I am a sitter, but not at a vanity. This is very cute! I will have to make one of these. I have the perfect spot. Now I have one more thing to hunt for in thrift stores.
- Judy C, February 1, 2012 at 5:06 AM
I carry my makeup in a bag and do it wherever and whenever I can. Of course it makes me look odd sometimes if the lighting isn't right. Anyway, If I had that vanity set, I'd probably use it. But it is so pretty I might just stare at it. I have really enjoyed your blog and I look forward to lots more inspiring pics.
- LabelSnob, February 1, 2012 at 8:44 AM
Love your blog! I am so trying to picture the one foot in the sink! I don't get it!?
I agree with Annette Martin I have sat with both feet in the sink to get closer to the mirror but only one foot seems like it would be awkward!! LOL! I have to admit I'm going to try it out!!! :) - **Mumzy, February 1, 2012 at 8:53 AM
Hey...just to set things straight...I put my foot on the edge of the counter..not in the sink!!! haha! LOVE this look!! So cute.
- Living Beautifully, February 1, 2012 at 2:57 PM
Thanks for the positive comments. To those who doubt you would fit your legs under there, you actually can. Coming from a larger thighed girl, I fit under it perfectly- the chair really sinks in when you sit in it. Plus the depth of the vanity is so short, that you dont really need to sit that far under the table as it is :) Thanks to those who liked our transformation! :)

Millridge Students Host Famous Ohioans Parade
From presidents to athletes, fourth-graders presented facts and dressed as a slew of famous Ohioans
Did you know that President William Howard Taft once got stuck in a bathtub? Or that Annie Oakley was capable of shooting an apple from a dog's head? These are some of the fun facts fourth-graders at Millridge Elementary School presented to a gym full of parents and staff members Wednesday as part of Famous Ohioans Parade. Four classes comprised of 100 students spent a quarter of the school year learning about famous people who were either born in Ohio or spent time living in the Buckeye State. They found costumes and props in order to educate and humor their parents and supporters during Wednesday's event. The Ohioans the kids posed as included: "It was good for the kids to learn public speaking — they've never done that before in fourth …

Deadly Heart Condition in Young Women
By: Charlotte Ames
Updated: February 8, 2013
In SCAD, an artery near the heart tears, blocking blood flow in and around the heart, causing a heart attack. Researchers say the condition is not common and is highly under-diagnosed.
Dr. Sharonne Hayes, a researcher at the Mayo Clinic says, "the average age is about 42 and it's disproportionately women, so about 70 percent of the cases or greater are women and of those women, 30% are in the few weeks to months after giving birth."
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have started the first major study of the condition. And while doctors don't know exactly what causes scad or how to treat it they do know that up to 20 percent of patients who have had one SCAD episode will have another.
Researchers are also looking into whether genetics plays a role in SCAD and they also found a link between SCAD and fibromuscular dysplasia, another rare condition that causes a narrowing in some arteries.
