Dierks Bentley assembled a group of top-notch country performers to kick off the 2015 Country Radio Seminar, the yearly gathering of radio executives and journalists in Nashville.
Dierks Bentley assembled a group of top-notch country performers to kick off the 2015 Country Radio Seminar, the yearly gathering of radio executives and journalists in Nashville.
Dierks Bentley has some advice for anyone who is feeling stressed about Valentine's Day.
The Grammy Awards are Music's Biggest Night for good reason, and the 2015 event was no different, with stars of all genres putting on their Sunday best for the show.
Longtime friends Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert are both up for Best Country Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards, but there will be no bad blood between the pair regardless of who snags the award.
Several of country music's top acts are among the presenters at the 2015 Grammy Awards.
You don't want to mess with Kip Moore -- just ask Dierks Bentley.
Dierks Bentley has picked Maddie & Tae, Kip Moore and Canaan Smith to open his 2015 Sounds of Summer Tour. To consummate the lineup he asked them all to experience the chills of winter.
Three of country music's biggest acts are teaming up for a very special pre-Super Bowl performance.
Country's biggest stars may ride on tour buses and take part in glitzy tours, but when Thanksgiving comes around, they're more than satisfied with home cooking. Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley and Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum reveal their favorite foods to eat when sitting around the Turkey Day table.
It turns out that Dierks Bentley doesn't really mind if you throw up on his stage.
Ann Soyars, Dierks Bentley's original fan, has died. The 67-year-old passed away at her Tennessee home over the weekend following a battle with cancer.
Two of the most nominated artists at the 2014 CMA Awards learned they were winners before the show even started. Dierks Bentley has won the Music Video of the Year award, while Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert took Musical Event of the Year.

Crusaders coach rues poor discipline
March 9, 2013
Todd Blackadder says poor discipline in the first half is what ultimately cost his side victory © Getty Images
Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder said his side only had themselves to blame for Friday night's 29-28 Super Rugby loss to the Hurricanes.
The Crusaders were leading 28-22 with nine minutes to play when replacement Adam Whitelock's pass was intercepted by Alapati Leiua and Beauden Barrett kicked the match-winning conversion.
In truth Blackadder's side should have had the match wrapped up well before that as they profited from Hurricanes mistakes to score four tries and claim a bonus point before Leiua's heroics.
Poor discipline in the first half was costly as Barrett took all the points on offer from four penalties to give his side a 12-7 lead at half-time.
Then a botched Crusaders line-out midway through the second half eventually resulted in All Black winger Julian Savea going over in the corner for the Hurricanes' first try.
A converted try to Dan Carter restored a nine point lead for the visitors before Barrett kicked his fifth successful penalty to close the gap to six points.
Whitelock's pass handed the game to the Hurricanes and Carter sent a drop goal wide that would have snatched victory.
"It's just really disappointing to lose a game like that when we were (four) tries to two," Blackadder said. "I suppose we've only got ourselves to blame. Ill-discipline, those penalties in the first half, and two errors gifted two tries and to end up losing a game like is disappointing."
But after a try-less, lacklustre loss to the Blues last weekend, Blackadder at least felt the overall performance from his team had been better.
"We're a lot closer that what we were last week," Blackadder said. "It was a better performance. It's just disappointing to have gifted so many points away. I feel like we're on the right track. We just never got the result we were looking for but we got two points away from home."
Captain Kieran Read, whose knock-on saw a try to Matt Todd in the 68th minute disallowed by TMO Glen Newman, put the high penalty count down to "pushing the boundaries too much".
"I think the accuracy has to come along with the enthusiasm," Read said. "We're probably not getting that balance right at the moment. It's certainly something we've got to work on because you can't afford to give teams 15 or so points from the boot."
While Blackadder agreed with Newman's decision, Read himself wasn't so sure.
"I haven't seen the replay but it didn't feel like a knock on," Read said. "I guess if you slow it down enough you'll find something won't you."
Despite losing their opening two games of the tournament for the first time since 2004 Read isn't pushing the panic button just yet.
"It's a long season. We want to be building," Read said. "You're going to lose games throughout the season. We've just got to be confident in ourselves and get back to showing discipline and showing the attack we did tonight which was pleasing."

National Weather Service issued winter weather advisory for Thursday afternoon, Friday morning
Douglas, Shawnee, Jefferson and Franklin counties included
3:05 p.m. The snow began falling in Baldwin City shortly after 1 p.m. Thursday. It was still falling -- lightly -- at 3 p.m.
Temperatures, though, were still above freezing and the snow wasn't accumulating on the ground.
The latest projections are for a wintry mix and rain throughout the late afternoon hours, changing over to all snow tonight.
10:09 a.m. The latest information in the hands of 6News Chief Meteorologist Matt Elwell suggests 2 inches to 3 inches of total snow accumulation is most likely across the Baldwin City area, with areas of 4 inches to 5 inches possible.
Elwell said the storm would be spinning over the area for some time, leading to isolated pockets of greater accumulation.
The snow should begin before midnight, Elwell said, though with accumulation not starting until after midnight most likely.
7:59 a.m. The National Weather Service has extended the winter weather advisory until noon on Friday, instead of 6 a.m.
For now, the National Weather Service is still predicting 2-4 inches of snow in our area, with the majority of that snowfall occurring after midnight.
The precipitation will still start this afternoon, but will remain as rain through the evening hours.
The National Weather Service in Topeka has issued a winter weather advisory for parts of northeast Kansas beginning at noon Thursday and continuing through 6 a.m. Friday.
The weather service is predicting 3 to 4 inches of snow in northeast Kansas, with the snow beginning during the afternoon Thursday and continuing through Friday morning.
Drivers are urged to use caution while traveling and be prepared for limited visibility and slippery conditions.
The Signal will update this story as additional information is available.

Should Big Ben Be Renamed Big Beth?
By editor
Britain's Big Ben is technically the giant bell inside St. Stephen's Tower at Parliament. Some members of Parliament want it renamed the Elizabeth tower, in honor of the queen. Jokingly, some suggested the name: Big Beth.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission: Revision of Fee Schedules; Fee Recovery for Fiscal Year 2014
GAO-14-841R: Aug 20, 2014
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-8156
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) new rule on the revision of fee schedules and fee recovery for fiscal year 2014. GAO found that (1) the final rule amends the licensing, inspection, and annual fees NRC charges to its applicants and licensees. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, as amended, requires NRC to recover through fees approximately 90 percent of its budget authority in fiscal year 2014, not including amounts appropriated for Waste Incidental to Reprocessing, amounts appropriated for generic homeland security activities, and Inspector General services for the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board; and (2) NRC complied with applicable requirements in promulgating the rule.

Many wonder if the time has come to merge ion chromatography (IC) with HPLC. They ask, "If IC were a country, would it really deserve to be an independent micro state such as Singapore, Liechtenstein, or Monaco?" To me, the short answer is still an emphatic "yes!" IC technology is really much more advanced than HPLC, plus the users and most of the applications are unique. Sweeping IC into the much larger HPLC country would put IC at risk of losing the identity that is responsible for its remarkable, innovative technology and corresponding growth.
Indeed, innovation in both instrumentation and separations chemistry is what distinguishes IC from the other modes of liquid chromatography. During the last decade, detection limits for challenging ionic analytes have improved by about 1000 times. In 1990, chromatographers struggled to achieve limits of detection of low ppb. Today, the detection limits for the same analytes are low ppt, where "t" = trillion, not thousand. Now, mobile phases can be prepared automatically with the aid of the Dosino from Metrohm (Herisau, Switzerland) and Reagent Free™ eluents (RFIC™) from Dionex (Sunnyvale, CA). No other segment of HPLC enjoys anything similar in concept, convenience, or performance.
In terms of applications, where would the world be without the exquisite assays of seven common anions in water; ppt assays of chloride and corrosion inhibitors in the steam cycle of power plants; or quick assay of carbonate, phosphate, and carbohydrates in soft drinks? These were significant topics at the 22nd International Ion Chromatography Symposium (IICS), which attracted over 100 scientists to the classic Hilton Netherlands in Cincinnati, OH, September 19–22, 2010 (www.CASSS.org). First, let's look at new advances in technology.
Prof. Brett Paull, 2009 chair of IICS in Dublin, Ireland, received the IICS Award for his work on monoliths for stationary phases in IC. His title, "Polymeric Monolithic Phases: The Future or a Fading Novelty?" is certainly provocative. It seems to reflect that despite intense efforts from several research teams, problems persist. He cited columnto- column reproducibility as one, and low column efficiency as another. Monoliths do offer very low pressure drops, but have difficulty competing with the column efficiency provided by columns packed with sub-2-μm porous particles. Monoliths do compete with columns packed with 3-μm particles, and give very low pressure drop. Apparently, as one reduces the unit cell size of monoliths to get more efficiency, the throughpores are choked off, and thus the backpressure increases very rapidly. Another issue is the lack of multiple vendors. Potential customers are cautious about relying on single-source vendors. The primary patents on monoliths start to expire in 2012, so more competition can be expected.
Going back to the performance issues, monoliths are amenable to making engineered structure along the bed by photografting bonding sites and then attaching ligands. Masks can control the bonding of the surface chemistry, providing varying type and density. This facilitates the creation of novel devices such as open-tubular capillaries with different monolithic films along the surface. Another possibility is taking advantage of the low pressure required for existing monolithic columns to instruments made with common plastics. Prof. Paull used the SIChrom™ from FIAlab (Seattle, WA) as an example. The instrument is rated to 700 psi, which should be more than sufficient for today's monolithic columns. He concluded that monoliths will certainly find a niche in separation science.
The long list of chromatographic modes got longer again with the addition of zwitterion chromatography (ZwIC), with presentations by Prof. James S. Fritz of Iowa State University (Ames). With ZwIC, the stationary phase consists of zwitterions bonded or sorbed to the stationary phase. The mechanism involves the differential partitioning of the analyte in the stationary phase based on differences in hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. For best results, the zwitterion needs to have the charges separated by three carbon atoms. If the charges are separated by fewer or more than three, the chromatographic selectivity declines rapidly. Most frequently, ions can be eluted with distilled water. One separation showed that the common anions separated to baseline with water as the eluent. ZwIC is compatible with high-ionic-strength matrices such as seawater. One example showed the direct assay of iodide in seawater with UV detection.
At last year's IICS meeting, Chris Pohl of Dionex described a prototype capillary ion chromatograph that was formally introduced at Pittcon® 2010 as the ICS- 5000. The design is much more than a size reduction dictated by a 100-fold reduction in the operating sweet spots. The column diameter shrank tenfold from 4 mm to 0.4 mm. The scale factors are generally related to the area of the column, or D2, which explains the 100-fold reduction.
Many chromatographers hear the word "capillary" but immediately translate this to "difficult," "bleeding edge," or something similar. Simply making the connections can be problematic, since a little dead volume produces noticeable loss of resolution. However, Dionex introduced a novel design called the Cube that efficiently connects the individual components (eluent degasser, injection valve, and guard and separation column with thermostat, carbonate removal device, and electrolytic suppressor) in a highly engineered assembly. The individual components snap into place. Plumbing connections are cut to fit and color coded. The number of fittings has been cut in half. The ICS-5000 holds one or two Cubes. The latter option doubles throughput in the same space. Better yet, the thermostats on each column compartment can be set at different temperatures, such as 30 ºC for the assay of anions, and at 60 ºC for cations.
Traditionally, IC is used for specific applications where it is clearly the technique of choice. About half the market is involved in the separation of the common anions using some variant of the technology described in U.S. EPA Method 300, even if the need for the data is not environmentally driven. This application is quite mature and receives little attention. At the other end of the spectrum is interest in novel methods for the assay of disinfection by-products (DBPs), including bromate, perchlorate, and haloacetic acids. Another related, high-interest topic is speciation. This is driven by the variable toxicity of certain analytes that precludes setting definitive control specifications based on elemental assays. For example, chromium 3 is an essential nutrient, but chromate and dichromate are feared as potent carcinogens. Dr. Kannan Srinivasan of Dionex pointed out that, with all the attention on DBPs, more than half the mass remaining after disinfection is still not characterized. Perhaps it was the 1930s décor of the hotel, but this warning reminded of The Shadow, a radio mystery from the days before television.
Herb Wagner of Shaw Environmental (Cincinnati, OH) discussed the U.S. EPA's requirements for method development with a focus on analytical methods. He explained that the composition of the matrix can favor or confound most analytical methods. The chemistry is understandable, but still must be worked through, almost case by case. For method development, the U.S. EPA has developed very stringent requirements for synthetic matrices. Proposed new or improved methods need to be tested against these formulations as well as samples from the field. He cited as an example the use of specified synthetic matrices for assaying bromate and perchlorate in drinking water along with the detection limits. Up to this point, the lecture was clear, but then he introduced some acronyms for minimum reporting level, method blanks, laboratory fortified blanks, calibration check standards, and so on.
For example, Stephen Winslow of Shaw Environmental described the new statistical calculator developed by the U.S. EPA for setting the lowest concentration minimum reporting levels (LCMRLs) for drinking water. Ten times the limit of detection is out. According to Winslow, "The LCMRL calculator is a multiconcentration procedure where the lowest true concentration for which recovery is predicted with a high confidence (99%) to be within 50 and 150% recovery." The calculator evaluates thresholds for precision and accuracy. Outliers are down-weighted, but not rejected.

As the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington approaches, federal employees in Washington are being encouraged to telework in order to avoid traffic and other complications. (U.S. government archival photo)
In preparation for increased traffic delays expected during Aug. 28's commemorative celebration of the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington, the Office of Personnel Management issued a memorandum last week asking agencies to allow federal employee to telework. The celebration is expected to bring scores of people to the nation's capital and cause increased traffic in the Beltway region.
"OPM strongly urges the use of telework to keep the Government operating while helping to minimize traffic congestion and unproductive time during this event," the Aug. 23 memorandum reads. "Employees who can be spared from their duties may also request to adjust their work schedule and use their alternative work schedule day off or take annual leave, leave without pay, and/or previously earned compensatory time off or earned credit hours under a flexible work schedule."
OPM reiterated that the federal government will indeed be open on Wednesday and that the celebration will impact both the morning and afternoon commutes.

East star lineman Vainuku commits to Utah
SALT LAKE CITY — East high's Vaha Vainuku could have had the offer he's coveted since young, but instead opted to commit to the school across the street. He informed the Utah coaching staff that he'll sign a letter of intent with them late last night.
Utah came forward with an offer to the 6-3, 280-pound lineman a week ago, but he chose to hold off a bit — choosing to commit after their bowl game against Georgia Tech.
"When they offered, I was almost sure that I'd commit, but I didn't want to bug them while they were getting ready for their bowl game," he said. "I've really started to love their program and their school the more I'm around it."
That love for Utah's program is a direct 180 from his opinion about them for most of his life. Although he grew up just blocks away from Utah's campus his allegiances laid south.
"I hated Utah growing up," he said. "I was a BYU guy — my family were big-time BYU fans and they still are, but that will probably change now that I'm going to the U."
Vainuku held offers from Utah State, Washington State and from Hawaii at the time of his committment to Utah. Although BYU was yet to offer, they had indicated to him that they would if he chose to visit the campus on an official visit come Jan. 14.
He won't be making that visit now, opting to commit to the school that had won him over in recent months. He'll take his official visit to Utah on Jan. 20 and it will be the only visit he plans on making.
So why the change in heart?
"The more I'm around Utah the more I just love it," he said. "It's such a great fit for me as a school and as a football program. I have a cousin, Sione Pouha, who played there, I have a lot of friends there and it just felt right."
Vainuku played both sides of the ball during high school, but like his cousin, he'll be playing defensive tackle at Utah. His plans are to serve a mission straight out of high school after signing, giving him his full eligibility upon his return.
During those two years, his hope is that his true-blue family will turn red.
"They have two years, so hopefully that's enough time," he said. "I know they'll come around — that they'll see the same things in Utah that I have. They support me first, so they'll be red when I get home, no question."

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
i would like to improve upon my typesetting skills. I have never really come across any specific "drills" per say that aid one in understanding letterspacing properly, but I was curious if anyone has any suggestions. Overall, I can do it rather well, but I do struggle with some aspects spacing.
Ellen Lupton has a companion website to her book, Thinking with Type, that has plenty of good examples and comparisons of different settings to look at: the subjects covered under "Text" are kerning, tracking, line spacing, and alignment. They are not drills, but still a useful resource.
Here's what I learned from the great John Langdon about kerning:
1. Visually center each letter between its surrounding two letters.
2. Make sure recurring negative spaces are spaced exactly the same.
For example in the word "miniature", the mi should have the same kerning as the ni, since the negative space between those pairs are identical.
For fun, interactive flash-based online kerning exercises here. A note of warning, take the "correct" answers with a grain of salt, some of them are WRONG. None the less it's a cool and interactive way to improve your kernin' :^)
There is a nifty online interactive kerning exercise and I'm sure it was mentioned on Typophile at some point. Stick around - someone has the link.
Stephen, is there another one apart from the one I linked above?
Searched through my bookmarks again and recalled another great interactive site where you can learn to spot bad kerning.
typehype.net by Jeanne Komp, related Typophile thread here.
Whoops! Completely overlooked your post, Geoff. That's the one.
Exercises become more productive when you do them routinely in life. Refining your typographic skills and awareness is just like learning to play the piano (or other instrument)... if you don't practice, you simply will not get any better!
Luckily, kerning is less difficult a skill to refine than learning to fine tune the color of text. Yes, learning to visually balance kern pairs in lines of copy goes hand-in-hand with text color, since imbalances in inter-letter spacing disrupts eveness of color.
But even when all the kerning is "correct" (visually balanced), the color of text blocks can still be off or can be improved. This is a skill more difficult to refine let alone be aware of.
For a while I have been reviewing graphic design and typography curriculum for assignments and exercises to improve type color awareness, and I haven't seen many at all. If anyone is aware of such useful programs, I would greatly appreciate hearing about them.
Since I don't believe graphic design students take much time scrutinizing, proofing and adjusting typesetting output (high-res hardcopy), I don't feel they can develop a higher awareness of text color and the subtleties of texture, flow and weighting.
I think I have come up with a short and simple series of exercises/assignments (three sequential activities that I hope to present at TypeCon) that would help bring text/type color sensitivities to students. I think they will definitely learn about color, but getting better at any skill is a matter of sustained practice.

New York Daily News "Brook Lopez barreled into the paint for a layup, the biggest man on the floor embracing the contact and finishing at the rim near the end of a five-on-five drill in training camp. About 10 months ago, a very similar move in Philadelphia finished Lopez's season, leaving him to face a scary..." October 02
CBSSports.com "Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez has lost some weight while recovering from his fractured fifth metatarsal. It's not quite a Carmelo or LeBron situation -- Lopez is still close to 275 pounds -- but it's different than this time last year. From The New York Post's Tim Bontemps: Lopez, who..." August 21
New York Post "The Nets will be getting a visibly thinner Brook Lopez when training camp begins next month.

"I've seen enough before," Lopez said Sunday night at..." February 10

A team of surgeons, including one of the doctors who finally ended Grant Hill's struggle with..." January 05
ESPN.com "Pau Gasol for Brook Lopez? It would seem, on the surface, that merely posing such a question is a moot point given that Lopez is out for the season after re-breaking his troublesome right foot. Beneath the surface, though, there are at least two reasons to address it here: 1. Sources..." December 30
Newark Star-Ledger "Brooklyn Nets center Brook Lopez will undergo surgery on his foot Jan. 4, the team announced Saturday.

Brook Lopez says he's "pretty sure" he'll play.
New York Post "The Nets have suffered through one piece of bad injury news after another so far this season, but it appears they may have finally caught a break.
