The article wasn't really a big revelation for sure, but gives some further understanding I think. And I won't fully deny that the decision also had a political scope.
In the long run, Japan will have to replace a good part of it's fighter aircraft. The tech transfer was probably consindered good enough to help Japan with it's own 5th gen project and sustain related industry. Since they didn't get the F-22, they might try to replace some F-15Js with their own ATD-X, while making up # with more F-35 in the future.
The following article of "the diplomat" has an interesting interview with "Jane's aviation desk editor", bringing some more perspective on this.

"I am what I am.... Dat's all what I am"
F-35 Will 'Revolutionize' Combat Power In The Pacific
F-35 Will 'Revolutionize' Combat Power In The PacificThe F-35 will revolutionize air combat operations, especially in the Pacific. Fifth generation aircraft like the F-35 are at the heart of a potential new air combat system enterprise. The F-22s may have been the harbinger, but it lacks the essential air combat systems present on the F-35. Deployed as a force, the JSF enables distributed air operations that are crucial to the survival of our pilots in the period ahead. Distributed operations are the cultural shift that fifth generation aircraft, along with investments in new weapons, remotely piloted aircraft and the crafting of simultaneous rather than sequential operations, bring to the fight.
The Japanese understand the opportunities to leverage the F-35 combat system enterprise and that is why they chose the aircraft.
Upcoming Aegis tests will support a launch and engage-on-remote concept linking the Aegis ship to remote sensor data, increasing the coverage area and responsiveness. Once this capability is fully developed, the SM-3 missile used on board Aegis -- no longer constrained by the range the system's radar to detect an incoming missile -- can be launched sooner and therefore fly farther to defeat the threat. Imagine this capability linked to an F-35, which can see more than 800 miles throughout a 360-degree approach. Needless to say, U.S. allies are excited about the linkage prospects and the joint evolution of these two highly upgradeable weapon systems.
Combining Aegis with F-35 also means joining their sensors for wide-area coverage. Because of the new generation of weapons onboard the F-35 and the ability to field a broad "wolfpack" of air and sea capabilities, the Joint Strike Fighter can perform as the directing point for combat action. The F-35 can leverage a sea-based missile through Aegis and its new SM-3 missiles to expand its area of strike. Together, the F-35 and Aegis significantly expand the defense of land and sea bases.
The commonality across the combat systems of the F-35's three variants also provides a notable advantage to the Japanese. Aegis is a JSF pilot's wingman, whether he or she is flying an F-35A, B, or C. Eighty percent of the F-35s in the Pacific are likely to be A models, many belonging to U.S allies. Therefore, building an F-35 and Aegis global enterprise provides coverage and capability across the Pacific, which is essential for the defense of Japan.
There is a high probability that the strategic quadrangle of South Korea, Singapore, Australia and Japan will all field the F-35 and Aegis missile system. This not only allows significant commonality among the allies, but provides a solid foundation for U.S. forces to work with regional allies and reduce the risks to American forward deployed forces.
US and allied forces will have the perfect aircraft in the F-35 to play both offensive and defense when hypersonic Cruise Missiles become a combat reality. The C4ISR-D "Z-axis" in the cockpit can lead the way in developing a Pacific "honeycomb" ISR Grid to handle the hyper-sonic Cruise Missile threat and also go on the offensive since Chinese President Hu Jintao has just put the PLAN on combat alert. Everything will take time to develop and if PRC goes to war at Sea today they will lose. However, time is precious for US and Allies to get the technology for a 21st Century Air/Sea Battle right.
If the F-35 did not exist with it's revolutionary "Z-axis" 360 umbrella -it would have to be invented. Northern Edge validated that the US has developed a flying combat system that is world class and unique-a Fighter/Attack aircraft with EW/"tron" warfare capability with both AA and AG kinetic weapons in the bay.
well fancy
but where are the F-35s, by the time they need the system, and the F-35 is not ready, they will have UAVs do the job
That's kind of my point, I'm tryin to feel the love for the JSF, but the F-22 was Shanghaid to make way for the JSF, the "we're all in this together bird". We can all sing kombiah, while we pray that we can get it up to speed. What we should have done, and what some old heads would have done, was keep building those F-22s that we will need to maintain a highly capable posture, that has kept those who have been tempted and will be tempted to thump us in the chest, to think, maybe thats not a good idea. The same folks who argue that JSF will get cheaper, pushed aside a more mature, more capable airframe, with right now capability, that would have gotten cheaper as well. Our civilian masters have put us in a box, with no wiggle room on time, and the JSF needs time, shes just not up to the job. The JSF was designed to be the F-22s little sister, thats all she's ever likely to be. The shame is, she's likely to get beat up by the neighborhood bullies, because her big sister won't be there to take care of her, and give her the time grow into her role, in the meantime our allies are saying, where's our airplanes. These things aren't complicated, we have learned this lesson before, at Pearl Harbor, in Europe, in Korea, in Vietnam. The cold war was stressfull, expensive, and instructive, mutual strength keeps us safe, all of us, not only our friends, but the other guys as well. People who know, have a responsibility to lead, at any cost, because our children are depending on us to keep them safe. We need the JSF, the likelyhood is that it will continue to get more expensive as we keep pushing it to do more and more, and incorporate all the neighbors favorite do-dads, and she has a bunch of do-dads! Maybe instead of the arms race, we could characterise it as the peace race, the race to stay safe, in a dangerous world. Whats that worth to you?
america is in an awkward situation: the F-22 production has been terminated, (its a bit dated anyway); the F-35 is not good enough, at least not as good as america has always expected for its main striker that suppose to dominate any potential enemy; to develop a new fighter is financially beyond its means
185 is not a number that is sustainable in the event of any major warfare requiring their services.
IMHO, if we got a big enough change in 2012, we can and should restart production and build at least 500 more of them. Then the anticipated complimentary posture of the F-22 and the JSF could be realized the way it was intended.
That sir, is why you, are the Headmaster of the Olde School, it is after all another affirmation of the olde engineers adage, "that form follows function". I do get frustrated by our buddies the "talkers", who seem to think that the F-35 will magically morph into the F-57, when you task it with air superiority and ground attack. Then they tell you, you're just not good at math. I am very impressed with the efforts of the other players, and always a flanker fan, I must confess to being impressed but not suprised at the A efforts of the other teams. Its always best when parity is matched by mutual respect, one reason I really enjoy this venue. bd popeye if you have no objection, I would like for Jeff to post a picture for me on "gollevainen's quiz of the week", as he seems to have a vast reserve of "good stuff". Jeff your 500 more F-22s is just what the Dr. ordered, and I do hope we have that "sea change" in November. the Brat

Well, I was gonna say, now that it's closed people will also come up with the argument of the expenses of reopening the line. But then again, I believe the production line is really just being mouthballed. Something not seen too often when production of a jet ceases.
So maybe someone left a small opportunity there for the future.
Maybe some more of the Raptor stuff will make it's way into the Eagle force to keep it up to speed for the air dominance role. But besides the APG-63 (V)3 sadly it won't be that much I guess.
Towards the primary topic: There's an article on the subject by the washington post hinting towards exspected extra costs in the future when all the planes being already ordered & built might need expensive upgrades, to incooperate what ongoing testing is still to reveal.
F-35 production a troubling example of Pentagon spending
By Walter Pincus,
There are 56 F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighters being assembled at Lockheed Martin's facility in Fort Worth. But because only 20 percent of the testing for the most advanced fighter-bomber in U.S. history is completed, each will probably have to get million-dollar-or-more fixes later.
The F-35 is already the most costly U.S. weapons program underway at about $385 billion. But that figure may go higher with overrun of the per-plane contract price for the 56 craft being assembled — along with the future multimillion-dollar fixes likely to be required for them — and the 15 F-35s completed but not yet delivered to the military services.
The plane is being built with the most sophisticated stealth technology, but initial flight tests have turned up hot spots and cracks associated with metal and composites used on most new aircraft. The development of the software controlling the F-35's major warfighting functions, the most complex ever planned for an airplane, has been delayed so that the last block will not be introduced to the aircraft until at least June 2015.
Earlier this month, Vice Adm. David J. Venlet, executive officer for the F-35 program, said in an interview with the online service AOL that he recommended slowing down current production lines to reduce the replacement costs that will be necessary in aircraft produced before testing is completed.
Production had already been slowed twice. Then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates pushed back the building of 122 aircraft in February 2010 as problems became apparent, and again in January as he lowered near-term production for another 124 planes, boosting future production needs.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) took the Senate floor on Dec. 15 and described the F-35 fighter program as "a mess."
What upset the senator was not just that the cost of each plane had risen nearly 100 percent from its original estimate of $69 million to $133 million today, or the fact that testing was only 20 percent complete while more than 90 planes had already been bought, or the fact that software — key to 80 percent of the stealth plane's warfighting capability — wouldn't be ready for another four years.
It was, he said, that the Pentagon had "sold this program as a fifth-generation strike fighter that would — more so than any other major defense procurement program — be cost-effectively developed, procured, operated and supported." ...
The second part of the Pincus article follows here:
Making this initially a cost-plus contract was "a recipe for disaster," according to McCain, who noted that development costs alone have topped $56 billion.
At a time when government discretionary budgets — including defense — face sharp reductions over the coming decade, the F-35 story is a troubling example of Pentagon spending.
By January, when the new Defense Department budget will go up to Capitol Hill, it is expected that the current cost estimate per F-35 will again increase, while production will be slowed to limit future fixes.
At the beginning of the program, there were to be 3,000 F-35s built, since it would replace the fighter-bombers in each of the three services and also be sold to foreign allies.
For the Air Force, the conventional takeoff and landing F-35A would replace the F-16 and the A-10 and add to the stealth F-22A. The Navy's version, the F-35C, was to be carrier-suitable and complement the F-18E/F Super Hornet. The Marines wanted the F-35B, a short takeoff and vertical landing version, to replace the F/A-18C/D and AV-8B Harrier aircraft.
In March 2004, when development problems caused the Defense Department to extend time and increase projected costs, the Navy and Marine Corps cut their number of the planes by 400, reducing the total U.S. purchase to 2,457.
The Simpson-Bowles deficit-reduction commission in December called for eliminating the Marine Corps vertical-lift version, which has had serious development issues, and canceling 600 planes planned for the Air Force and Navy, using instead new F-18s or F-16s. The panel's reasoning: The Pentagon "does not need an entire fleet with the stealthy capabilities" provided by the F-35.
In his new book, "The Wounded Giant," Brookings Institution senior fellow Michael O'Hanlon calls for cutting the overall purchase to 1,250, canceling the more costly Navy version, reducing the Marine Corps F-35Bs by 10 percent or more, and limiting the Air Force to 800 F-35As. The difference would be made up by buying more F-16s and recognizing the role of unmanned aircraft.
There is a cautionary tale to be found in what happened to the F-22. When concept development of that stealth fighter began in 1986, the Soviet Union was the enemy and the Air Force needed 750 of the planes for the air-to-air superiority mission. By 1991, when the first development contract was signed, the Soviet Union had collapsed . By 2006, the Air Force cut its needs to 381 F-22s and added air-to-ground attack and intelligence-gathering capabilities.
In 2009, faced with several crashes and other problems, plus the oncoming F-35, Gates limited the purchase to 187 F-22s. Reasons given for ending the F-22 program were cost overruns and budget restraints.
Ironically, the last F-22 came off the Lockheed assembly line just two weeks ago and is to be delivered to the Air Force next year. Considered a more capable air-to-air combat fighter than the F-35, F-22s have been sent to the Pacific, where their intelligence-gathering is considered useful. Air Force testimony on Capitol Hill in May put the cost of the last F-22s at $153.2 million per aircraft and noted that upgrades were still being made to the plane's software.
Changes in the 20 years between 1986 and 2006 caused a reduction of almost half the original F-22s sought. We should expect no less to happen between now and 2021. Prepare for that by limiting the F-35 purchases and looking into new technologies to plan what the future mix of manned and unmanned aircraft could be to meet the threats of 2031.

(KSTP) - Governor Mark Dayton is responding to a state legislative auditor report about taking a campaign aid on a state airplane trip.
Dayton told the Star Tribune it was a technical violation of state law and that he won't do it again.
On Thursday, the state's report was released and indicated Minnesota law has no consistent standard for whether the governor should be able to use a state airplane to travel to political events.
The report was done after a complaint from a republican-aligned group.

Twenty-Seven Years Later, L. Ron Hubbard Biography Finally Gets a U.S. Release
It's great to see the byline of Tony Ortega in the New York Post. The founder of The Underground Bunker and executive editor of The Raw Story lays out the rich details framing the very belated arrival in the U.S. of Bare-Faced Messiah, a 1987 biography by British journalist Russell Miller of Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
The Church successfully derailed U.S. publication with two years of litigation. However, thanks to independent publisher Silvertail Books, Bare-Faced Messiah was finally released stateside on March 18.
A portion of the book covers the same territory as Paul Thomas Anderson's acclaimed drama The Master. Amazingly, Miller says he was never consulted for the project:
I spoke to Miller recently and asked him if Anderson had ever reached out to him, since it seemed obvious that his book had been mined for that material. "I didn't know about this until the bloody film was out. Had I known this was in the pipeline, I would have got my agent to ask to see the script."

Owners Bill and Nancy Batterson built 'bluewater house' in 2005, replacing their summer cottage on Big Glen Lake. They had retired from General Motors and had previously lived on Williams Lake in Waterford, Michigan. Bill had been an Engineering Director in Flint and Nancy had been a Technical Education Manager at the GM Technical Center in Warren.
Bill or Nancy Batterson purchased this lodge in 2005
Blil's parents started vacationing at Glen Lake when he was eight years old. It quickly became his favorite place to be and in 1971 he was fortunate to acquire the property on which the original cottage stood. The cottage was used for Summer and weekend vacations for over thirty years. Bill and Nancy began construction of bluewater house in 2004 and have made it their home since May of 2005.
Guests at bluewater house will find friendly hosts, a spectacular lakefront location, stunning views of Big Glen Lake, and much to enjoy and do, both there and in the surrounding Sleeping Bear Dunes Lakeshore area.

BlackBerry 10 advances (and rewinds) mobile camera technology
The app's key feature (and one we hope to see adopted by other mobile platforms) is akin to photographic time travel. Let's say that after you snap a pic on your shiny new BB10 developer phone that upon further inspection you discover your subject was blinking. No need to try and recreate the same shot – instead you can shift it through time. The app provides a circular wheel, conceptually reminiscent of the analog mixing knobs used in video and audio editing booths in days long past. You can use it to scrub through the moments before and after the photo was snapped, to find a shot where no one is blinking.
Of course in essence all RIM has done is capture extra frames, somewhat like a video where you can also capture stills. But the implementation here makes a lot of sense – you can worry less during group photos that someone will blink, and it won't matter as much if someone walks in front of you when taking a picture of your kids at a local theme park, since you can always turn back time later.
Kudos to RIM on moving smartphone photography into the future…and the past.

Thats very cool ! THis is the type of innovation needed to bring RIM back .. Keep it comming BB!!
Good software must be accompanied by good hardware dont forget that RIM

i totally agree! super cool
2. clevername (Posts: 1431; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
Damn. Very cool. Can't say rim will make a convert outta me but they are getting my interest is what seems to be a "too-late" OS.
3. skymitch89 (Posts: 1122; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
This feature seems fairly cool, but how will it work once all the other apps and OS features get loaded on to the device? I'm actually surprised that Apple hasn't come up with something like this.
11. GALAXY-S (Posts: 701; Member since: 07 Jun 2011)
I think i would have been surprised if apple would have come up with something like this!
would of been there first innovation since 07
12. metoyou (Posts: 278; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Apple probably come up something similar and claim they Invented and patent it
I'm not too far off about Apple am i ?
4. grif_ (Posts: 61; Member since: 28 Apr 2012)
really cool idea RIM.:) but still the haters will hate:(
5. grif_ (Posts: 61; Member since: 28 Apr 2012)
thats because apple takes others ideas and make as if the came up with it.
6. GALAXY-S (Posts: 701; Member since: 07 Jun 2011)
yea rim better hurry and patent this before apple gets to it
7. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
thats actually very cool and innovative. and yeah next thing we might hear that apple has filed a patent for it and it would the USP of iphone5s in 2013 lol. j/k.
8. GALAXY-S (Posts: 701; Member since: 07 Jun 2011)
Its expected from apple lol
9. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5955; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Or, if the idea gets enough traction, Apple includes it in iOS 6 and releases it when the iPhone 6 is released in September, 1 month before RIM releases the BB10 handsets, and takes all of the oxygen out of RIMs release....
10. dcgore (Posts: 207; Member since: 24 Feb 2012)
Well done RIM. No doubt this feature will come to iOS and Android. I'd be smart though and make sure Blackberry gets the credit for it. Patent it i guess.
13. BBGrind (Posts: 50; Member since: 17 Jan 2012)
Cool, loving it, keep pushing RIM.

Jeanette Sorrell
Cleveland Baroque Orchestra "Apollo's Fire"
Friday March 17, 2006
Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church
625 Montgomery Ave Bryn Mawr, PA
Artist web site: www.apollosfire.org
PCM: When did you start studying piano?
Jeanette: I was ten.
PCM: Was classical your first choice?
Jeanette: Yes?
PCM: Was it put to like, "Jeanette you're going to study piano!"
Jeanette: I totally wanted to do it. In fact I really wanted to learn piano and begged my parents for a couple of years before I got them.
PCM: You practiced hard as a child?
Jeanette: Yes I did!
PCM: I bet your teachers loved you. When did you start on the harpsichord?
Jeanette: It was when I was in college as an undergraduate. I was studying both piano and conducting. I was required to take a second instrument. I looked through the list and saw harpsichord and thought hum... this should be easy, I'm a pianist. That is why I signed up for harpsichord. When I had the lessons, I really liked the instrument and I saw that it suited my hands well. My hands are small and the keys on the harpsichord are smaller than on the piano. I had always really loved the Baroque repertoire and so it made sense to concentrate on a baroque instrument.
PCM: Where did you pick up your interest in Baroque music?
Jeanette: I'm not really sure, my family listened to classical music in general but not particularly to Baroque music. I'm not sure how but when I was in high school I came across some of the period instrument recordings that were starting to come out at that time from Europe. Recordings of Bach and Mozart on period instruments and I was really drawn to it.
PCM: What made you form Apollo's Fire in 1992?
Jeanette: I had known since I was in College that I wanted to direct a baroque chamber orchestra. That was clear in my mind. Since there aren't many around you can't just go apply for a job. If you want to direct a baroque chamber orchestra, you have to start one yourself. I had just finished my studies for my graduate work at Oberlin and I had gone to Amsterdam to study. When I came back, out of the blue I got called to interview for conductor with the Cleveland Orchestra. I didn't apply but a talent scout had seen me conducting so they invited me to interview. During the course of the interview I kind of admitted that I wanted to conduct a baroque chamber orchestra, not a big orchestra and at that point they decided that I wasn't the right person for the job. However, the artistic director decided to help me start a baroque orchestra. Thanks to his help we were able to start it. Fourteen years later we still have Apollo's Fire.
PCM: You have an amazing group of musicians in Apollo's Fire. How did you assemble the members?
Jeanette: It is a wonderful group. Many are people I went to school with or met in my studies. Some are people I've met through the network of early music specialists. They live all over not just in Cleveland. They play with us regularly.
PCM: How hard is it to get a tour together?
Jeanette: It is very complicated. We have to assemble the musicians and get them to Cleveland first and then go on tour. We will play this program four times before we will come to Philadelphia. We will get to rehearse for about two weeks before our first four performances in Ohio. We then go to Philadelphia and also Washington DC. We do have to book the people at least a year in advance because they play all over.
PCM: Can you sense if it is a male or female at the podium if you are listening to something that you don't know who is conducting?
Jeanette: Of course it depends on the individual, there are some very masculine female conductors. What I can say about that is in my case, I have a very strong background in dance. I grew up as a ballet dancer. Baroque music really depends on having a buoyancy in the rhythm. Baroque music is closely related to dance and dance rhythm. I do think my dance background really influences my approach to the music. People say they can really hear that when they listen to Apollo's Fire.
PCM: Will this be your first time in the Philadelphia area?
Jeanette: We played at a college outside of Philadelphia about eight years ago. We are very excited to be in this series with the Bach Festival and very excited to be in the Philadelphia area again.

Public suicide has many facets. It's often a political or social statement, especially when coercing others to die, too. Suicidal mass murder comes to mind. Sometimes, public suicide is the result of mental derangement or depression. The public nature of the act can also be the ultimate way to refuse anonymity.
On the other hand, by making it public, these people might hope that someone helps. The father of suicidology, Edwin Shneidman, found from studying survivors that they weren't sure. "I believe," he said, "that people who are actually committing suicide are ambivalent about life and death at the very moment they are committing it. They wish to die and they simultaneously wish to be rescued."

Fiesta Americana Grand Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort Rating: 4.5 Pearls
The Fiesta Americana is the only hotel in Los Cabos that makes our best luxury hotels list as well as our best value hotels list. That's because, despite its luxe accomodations and many on-site amenities, it's rates are often reasonable -- especially compared to other Los Cabos hotels in the same category. All 249 rooms and suites at the Fiesta Americana are spacious, with relaxing, neutral tones and interesting touches such as Mexican art and sculpture accents. Luxurious features include large bathrooms with soaking tubs and walk-in showers. The gorgeous infinity pool is a real perk here, along with the above average, plush lounge chairs and cabanas, both at the pool and on the beach. The location is excellent for access to Cabo's two championship golf courses, and kids can keep entertained with a kids' club room packed with toys, art supplies, games, and computers.
Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas - All Inclusive Rating: 4.0 Pearls
The Riu Palace, located right outside of party-hearty Cabo San Lucas, is an all-inclusive resort -- with reasonable rates -- packed with entertainment. This colossal 642-room resort offers meals at six restaurants, activities, and nightly entertainment -- such as a Michael Jackson impersonator -- all included in the price. Spacious rooms have palatial bathrooms and great views, but furniture could use an update. Perks include two large pools, one designated for relaxation and the other for activities, along with a swim-up bar and decent-sized fitness room. The resort can get crowded (because who doesn't love a good deal?), but the beautifully manicured grounds and white-sand beach help to make up for it.
Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa Los Cabos Rating: 3.5 Pearls
The mid-range, 100-room Bel Air Collection Resort & Spa isn't the most luxurious resort in Los Cabos, but it does have a pretty location along a gorgeous stretch of beach, a sprawling oceanfront pool with swim-up bar, and an optional all-inclusive plan. Thoughtful extras add value: welcome drinks, a continental breakfast (though it starts early, so late risers may miss all the good stuff), tea and snacks at sunset, petit fours with turndown service, and an excellent happy hour at the bar. Room decor is contemporary, the bathrooms have Jacuzzi tubs, and the kitchenettes are handy when trying to save a few bucks -- there's even a grocery store within walking distance.
Bahia Hotel & Beach Club Rating: 3.5 Pearls
The 81-room Bahia Hotel isn't directly on the beach (meaning the price difference between this hotel and oceanfront ones can get pretty drastic), but it's just a block away, and is home to a trendy, delicious restaurant, and relaxing pool area with cabanas and swim-up bar. Although more basic rooms have older tube TVs, and some rooms are more in need of an update than others, all are decorated with airy color palates, emphasizing the contrast between dark woods and white walls (including the indigenous-style stucco cubbyholes). The rest of the hotel has equally chic decor (demonstrated in details such as the dozens of ceiling-hung lanterns in the restaurant). There's a nice coffee shop on-site, too, for those morning pick-me-ups. Affordable nightly rates and free parking make it a solid value pick.

On-Air Personalities
Born in Texas and raised in Colorado and Alaska, Biscuit could not manage to keep his mouth shut at home or in school so it only made sense to set his sights on radio. From getting paid just to monitor the radio equipment, to promotional work, to producing then to an becoming an on-air personality Biscuit has been involved in almost every aspect of radio all out the pure fascination and love he has for music and radio. Biscuit loves interacting and entertaining people and truly believes he was born to make people smile and laugh so radio will always be a part of his life.

Don Lane
Don Lane—The Man, The Myth But not the Truth
What can be said about this guy that hasn't been said before. NOT MUCH!!! Don's radio career began in the early 80's when life was so much simpler. All you had to worry about was making sure the record(yes vinyl)was set to the right speed. From that moment, that first click of the mic. coming on, he knew his life would never be the same. Bouncing around from station to station he honed is craft to what it is today. ONE BIG LOAD OF PURE, UNADULTERATED, CRAPOLA!!! Without a care in the world, Don opens his mouth and the world shutters. Nobody knows what he'll say or do next, NOT EVEN HIM!!! To follow him on this adventure he calls life, be sure to tune in mornings on KEYB.
On the serious side Don has been in radio since 1981, working at various stations n S.W. OK. But that is not all that he has done, Law enforcement, construction, motorcycle sales, gas station, clubs and bars and EMS are just some of the things Don has done. Radio is still his passion. Away from radio there's not much he doesn't enjoy. His circle of friends and family are what makes him the happiest, that's where most of his craziness comes from. Don always says "Radio is theater of the mind." Follow him on the air to experience what life is like in an asylum.

After the Navy, Harley returned to Oklahoma and went to work as a Government Contractor and wanted to do something more fun so he headed back into the backwoods where he stayed until his emergence on KEYB. When not on the air with Don during the morning show Harley liked to share his stories from sea, work on hot rods and spend time with the five best kids any dad could ask for; Jenace, Cicely, Rhett, Stetson and Emberlin. Harley was inspired to become a upstanding citzen by his Dad, Don Moody and his Fire Fighter brother Larry Moody.
Harley was best known by his backwoods friends as the guy who would try anything and was called "Crazy".
We Miss You Harley!
Dakota loves America, golden retrievers, and Little Debbie Snack Cakes. Not to mention Country Music! Having grown up in a tiny Oregon lakeside town, she knows what it's like to go nuts, living out in The Sticks. She also appreciates that, out of all musicians, country artists make an effort to look attractive. Yep, she's that shallow. Dakota has no cake-eating dwarves at home (kids), nor a spousal unit; but she does have a young orchid named Cleo, currently in full bloom. When she's not on the air, Dakota moonlights as a Countdown Specialist: handling numbers 16 through 10. She plays Texas Hold 'Em in her spare time, but is so bad at it that she gets taco sauce all over the cards; and loses so much, she has to pay people in turquoise jewelry. Dakota has done radio in Denver, Atlanta, Indianapolis and Vegas. Give her a call sometime -- don't make her wait: she'll start perspiring and frighten the neighborhood cats! The party's off the hook!

Brian Douglas
Brian Was Born in Camden, New Jersey, but has spent much of his 20 plus years on the radio all over the United States. Brian comes to KEYB from KZLA in Los Angeles. Brian's resume includes stops in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Phoenix, St. Louis, Orlando and Las Vegas. Brian can be found doing just about everything he can outdoors. He also enjoys coaching his son's tee-ball team and teaching him how to fish. He likes to get his heart going by running a mile or two every day—it's his morning coffee! Brian has traveled extensively as well but after visiting over thirty countries his favorite place to go is still Vegas. He believes that machine will hit soon! He lives with his wife and six year-old son, Jack.
Jenny Daniels
Jenny D, a Colorado native, with a degree in journalism from Colorado State University, believes that every moment in life has a soundtrack that you get to pick out for yourself. Live through music, live through a dream, or live through life, let each day be monumental. Some of her fondest memories are rocking out to the radio in the back of her mom's vintage, metallic green Ford mustang, which is where her love for music began. She has a knack for making people laugh, a true gift for sarcasm, and keep up with her, because she likes to keep it real on the radio. So, relax, because when you spend some time with her, hopefully you get that laid back, warm and fuzzy feeling, like the end of a good John Hughes movie. Let's face it, at the end of the day, we should all believe in happy endings.

We (people who contribute to the customer service conversation) work hard to create better customer experiences, look to generate improved metrics, fewer pain points, adding additional tools to help provide service...and yet, "customers aren't feeling any better." It should certainly cause us to pause and ask ourselves a few questions about our customer service initiatives for 2015. The monthly "Customer Service" feature on Social Media Chat will provide an opportunity to collaborate on achieving the ultimate customer service success - satisfied customers. Join the conversation #SMChat at 1pm ET on November 12th.

Customer acquisition and retention can suffer greatly as a direct result of customer service and/or customer experience. Customers share both and when they share either via social media, their impressions are amplified. When the sharing is positive, it can create additional opportunities for an organization to grow the bottom line. When it's negative, the ramifications can be costly and lingering. #SMChat on July 9th at 1pm ET will focus on how to identify and address the gap between customer service and customer experience. We will discuss the questions below. We hope you will join us!
April 11, 2012 by amberlcleveland
Customer Service and Social Media are a powerful combination. However, many organizations focus on the marketing aspect of social media and overlook the inclusion of their customer service departments. When than happens, it is only a matter of time before it becomes publicly apparent...during #SMchat at 1pm ET on April 11th, we will discuss the evolution of customer service as it is combined with social media.
March 14, 2012 by amberlcleveland
Customer Service isn't just a department. It's a mindset. Hopefully, it's the mindset of the organization, not just the people providing front-line customer service. I really appreciate the quote from Mark Cuban, "It is so much easier to be nice, to be respectful, to put yourself in your customers' shoes and try to understand how you might help them before they ask for help, than it is to try to mend a broken customer relationship." We're going to discuss 4 questions that will offer some insight into how you can fix some thing before it's broken, resulting in better service for your customers.
October 12, 2011 by amberlcleveland
I've seen numerous posts lately about Customer Service and how people are missing the boat when using social media to meet customers' needs or even just make a connection. Three that instantly come to mind are: Chris Brogan's post "Community Only Means Something If You're Keeping It Warm" – even though his post is about […]

As we go forth today to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King and to honor our country by praying for and supporting the office of President of the United States, let us remember the principles our great country was founded upon: ONE NATION UNDER GOD....LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Let us not take these principles for granted. It takes the will of God, the equipping from God and the strength of the Holy Spirit to stand up for liberty and justice. Even if you do not agree specifically with certain decisions made by our government officials, let us pray for them, as they have taken upon their shoulders a mighty burden on our behalf. Let us pray for God to grant them wisdom, and let us pray that they will draw upon godly principles to interact appropriately, respectfully and unselfishly. They are making great sacrifices on our behalf in an effort to try to make things better for the masses.
Let us pray for their protection and do our best to uphold the integrity that the Heavenly Father would want us to uphold for these United States of America. I pray daily for the safety of our President and his family and over the years have thought about how difficult it must have been for Dr. King and his wife and children. How difficult it continued to be once he was taken from them...from all of us. Let us continue to even lift up the remaining King Family and to truly appreciate the great lengths Dr. King went to for the betterment of justice for all of mankind. Let us lift up President Obama and his wife and family this day.
Have a blessed and wonderful day and I hope you will do something to serve your community. There are many, many events scheduled today all over in honor of the Martin Luther King holiday and their are satellite Inaugural Balls taking place as well. Partake and enjoy this wonderful day that God has made with your family and friends.

Nathan Hager, wtop.com
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. - A man accused of murdering his pregnant, estranged girlfriend in District Heights has been ordered held without bond.
Nathan Cedric Rogers, 22, of District Heights will also undergo a mental evaluation ahead of a May 24 hearing on whether he's competent to stand trial.
Prince George's County Police say Rogers stabbed his girlfriend, Jasmine Nichelle Moss, 23, inside his home Friday. He was serving home detention on an unrelated assault charge.
Police found Moss's body in the trunk of a suspicious vehicle about a block and a half from the home.
Prince George's State's Attorney Angela Alsobrooks says Rogers was arrested inside his home. How Moss's body wound up in the trunk, she says, is still under investigation.
Alsobrooks says the mental evaluation was recommended based on testimony from Rogers's mother at the bail review hearing Monday.
"I'm not sure what was in Mr. Roger's mind, but what we know, as far as we're concerned, I can't imagine any good reason to murder in the way that he allegedly murdered her. This was a brutal, heinous case," Alsobrooks said.
Members of Moss's family are calling for justice to be done.
"Nathan Rogers could have walked away from the relationship, and he never had to have interacted with Jasmine ever again. Now we will never have the opportunity to meet the child and to see Jasmine's bright smile and witty sense of humor," Moss's cousin Anthony Brown said in a brief statement.
"The family was welcoming the child as our first grand. So we were willing and able to take care of the child," said Moss's father, Carl Strong.
Friends of Moss and Rogers have said the two disagreed over whether to keep their baby.
Rogers faces charges of first- and second-degree murder and first-degree assault.

Town Administrator
Thomas Guerino
The Town of Bourne is a medium-sized community at the gateway to Cape Cod - You must pass through the Town to get over the Cape Cod Canal and anywhere else on Cape Cod. Long used by the Pilgrims during the 1620's as a center for trading activities, Aptucxet Trading Post was built in 1627, and the area was settled as a part of the Town of Sandwich by 1640, before finally being incorporated as the Town of Bourne in 1884.
The Cape Cod Canal, operated by the Army Corps of Engineers, bisects the community, with both the Bourne and the Sagamore Bridges, as well as the Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge, being the only means to cross the Canal, unless you're travelling by boat. The Canal is world renowned for its superb sport fishing, scenic vistas, relaxing bike rides & walking routes, and for carrying vessels of all sizes flying the flags of all nations.
Bourne Scenic Park, founded in 1951 and run by the independent Bourne Recreation Authority, is located beneath the Bourne Bridge along the Canal, and is a perfect location for those seeking to enjoy the Canal and its' many activities. Bourne has numerous quiet harbors and inlets for boating and swimming, and the fishing & shellfishing in the area is particularly enticing and considered some of the most diverse in Massachusetts.
Bourne is also home of the National Marine Life Center, an independent, non-profit, rehabilitation & release hospital for the treatment of stranded sea turtles and seals, with future plans to expand to treat dolphins, porpoises, and small whales. The Center has been steadily growing since treating its' first patient in the Summer of 2004, and is destined to become the primary care center and information hub on Cape Cod regarding marine animals and their environment.
It is a quiet community without the continual Summer tourist crush experienced by some of the other Cape communities. During the Summer, there are weekly Concerts In The Park, the July 4th Parade has proven quite popular, and in December there's A Canal Christmas to help celebrate the Holiday Season.
One of many cruise ships that regularly use the Cape Cod Canal, cutting significant time from the route going around Cape Cod, makes it's way East towards Cape Cod Bay. The world renowned Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge & the Massachusetts Maritime Academy can be seen in the background.
The Joseph Labretto, Sr. Memorial Flag & Captain Augustus F. Wagner Memorial Bandstand are an integral part of the Park, with the Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge making a spectacular backdrop.
As seen from Main Street, Buzzards Bay, with the Town Hall in the background.
Colorful flowers highlight the beauty of the Cape Cod Canal.
Many heading onto Cape Cod travel over the Sagamore Bridge. Looking identical to the Bourne Bridge, with both Bridges standing 135 feet above the Cape Cod Canal, the Sagamore Bridge is almost 1,000 feet shorter.
The Aptucxet Trade House on the Manamet River (...later called the Monument River) was founded by the Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony in 1627. The structure existing today is a replica erected on the original foundation, which was archaeologically excavated in the 1920's.
The Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge is a readily identified landmark that can be seen for quite some distance in all directions.
This train station was regularly used by President Grover Cleveland during his trips to his Summer house at Gray Gables.
This is a fairly common sight when the warmer water of the Cape Cod Canal meets the colder air of a Summer night.
One of the many scenic viewing areas along the Cape Cod Canal.
The Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge in its' lowered position, ready for a train to cross the Cape Cod Canal. The Canal tide is low, and In the foreground a fisherman can be seen trying his luck at catching a Striped Bass.
The Bourne United Methodist Church was built in 1831-32, and its' steeple can be readily seen in some of the older pictures of the Town. In 1883, Jonathan Bourne gave the Church a bell, which cracked in 1908 and had to be recast the following year.
A fire fighting tug boat makes its' way West through the Cape Cod Canal, much to the delight of the spectators. The Buzzards Bay Railroad Bridge & Bourne Bridge can be seen in the background.

Physiotherapy to help get rid of mucus
Many doctors recommend that you have physiotherapy and learn exercises to help you get rid of the mucus in your lungs. But we don't know how well this works. There isn't enough evidence to say.
There are different types of exercises. You or your child might be asked to move into different positions, so that gravity helps the mucus to drain out of the lungs. The physiotherapist might tap your chest to loosen the mucus and help it start to move. Some people find it helpful to blow into a small device that helps them to loosen the mucus.
You might hear your doctor call this treatment bronchopulmonary hygiene.
If your child has bronchiectasis, a physiotherapist can show you how to help them to do the exercises at home.
A very small trial of 20 people who had regular chest phsyiotherapy found their symptoms improved. They were able to cough up more of the mucus from their lungs, and exercise more than when they were not having physiotherapy. But it did not help them breathe out more easily. [12]
There hasn't been enough research to show which exercises are helpful, and good studies are needed. But doctors and physiotherapists usually recommend that you use these exercises. That's because they seem to be very helpful for some people. And they don't seem to cause any harmful effects.
