text: [Rumor] Sprint to re-brand HTC One X as EVO One, could hit stores in June Stormy Beach 29 March, 2012 3 Comments Next Friday Sprint and HTC will be holding an event in New York City to show of a special project between the two companies. The invitations have already been sent out and the media has already secured their spots for the party, us included. Much like any other invitation only event, the web tends to know what is going on way before hand. This is no exception. We know Sprint is getting the HTC one X. Everyone is already talking about it being the next EVO device. It seems that Sprint will be making the announcement of the Evo One coming to the carrier during the event. None of this is anything new to any of you that regularly follow us or any other number of blogs. The EVO One still won't be housing the international version specs. It will have that wonderful dual-core Qualcomm S4 chip buried inside. The performance specs of the chip is pretty outstanding and has beat the Tegra 3 quad-core processor in a number of benchmark tests and battery life. The difference between the EVO One and the other carriers One variants will be the body, primarily the addition of the kickstand that has made HTC devices so popular on Sprint's network. The name is still mostly a guess by us and many others across the web, but we are pretty confident it will have some thing similar in its title. BE it the EVO One X, EVO One, EVO One X 4G or some variant of the combination is yet to be seen. There is also rumor of the EVO One carrying a 2,650mAh battery and have a surprising addition of expandable memory. According to an inside source at Phandroid, the device will have the same SLCD2 display that the international models are sporting too. If the EVO One lands with that much larger battery, the available kickstand and the same brilliant screen, then I think you Sprint guys are going to be extremely happy when it does land. We will know all the details and have some hands of photos of whatever HTC and Sprint plan to announce on April 4th. Until then, let us know if you think it will be worth the time and money to pick up when it does launch, which is rumored for June 6th at the moment. Source: AndroidAuthority, Phandroid Shane I'm not sure if this is the Droid I'm looking for, after waiting for a proper follow up to the EVO 4G.. I will say though if Samsung is smart they would need to make an announcement before the June release of HTC WHATEVER about the SG3.. As one of the original EVO owners I can say that 2 FILA I can see this happening, but i dont kno why other carriers dont put the kickstand on more HTC phones. This will be a hot phone this year, but Im not switching to sprint

it was a good small hostel. staff is very friendly and helpful. living room is very nice and big. location is good: just in front of the train station but you need to walk like 20 minutes to get in city center and touristic places. atmosphere was really nice. colours and other things. but there were only one bathroom. you need to wait for it. and I didn't see any locker in room maybe its in the luggage room. if it's important for you, just ask it. its good for that moneyRead More

...well, I guess that, at some point, in a ride report, someone rides:
After a comfortable night at Andrea, Thierry joined us for breakfast. 6AM sun rises over the horizon. We picked our bike in the garage.
Thierry showed us some tricks how to kick-start it easily (no magic button).
This first day was meant as a loop to get used to the bikes, to check that they all run fine, apply some personal settings. But it was also an opportunity for Thierry to check we had the necessary skills to make it to the end. At Madagascar, some places, one is 2 days away from the closest good hospital. A broken leg, there is nothing else than a Zebu to carry you over 50km of single trail.
First part of the morning we then headed through rocky trails to mount Passot from which we get a panorama on the 20x25km volcanic Island. Several crater lakes surround the peak

Part of you has to feel bad for Blazers fans. The team is just bad. How bad? Some of the worst teams in the league look forward to playing Portland so they can get a win. *cough*Washington*cough* They should get some sympathy because it wasn't so long ago the Celtics were a laughing stock even though they had plenty of talent on paper. Needless to say, there was not a whole lot of happy feelings going around and plenty of hate, mostly for Nolan Smith. Top Three: Well this sucks... What's everyones Christmas plans? Or Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc. Can Stotts send the entire team home by Southwest Airlines? At halftime? In the next 50 Shades of Grey book the submissive will be forced to watch a Blazers road game. Player of the Game (Nolan Smith): So you're doing terrible, you know your bench sucks... whose the first guy you bring in? NOLAN SMITH OF COURSE!!! What the duck?! Newsflash: Nolan Smith still useless. Why all of the hatred for Smith? He's helping us get a good draft pi...

The University Libraries are a strategic asset for the University, providing intellectual leadership and extraordinary information experiences toward the advancement of knowledge.
The University Libraries inspire learning and discovery through information resources, collaboration, and expertise.
Strategic Directions for 2011-2013
Over the course of the 2009-2010 academic year, the Libraries engaged in a planning process that began with the identification of strategic themes. Internationally recognized experts were then invited to consult in these areas and to engage the organization broadly through open presentations, focused discussions with staff working groups, and meetings with relevant University leadership.
Supplementary input was received via campus governance groups, collegiate meetings, and more focused formal assessments. This planning process identified five areas of strategic importance for priority attention.
Strategic Directions for 2013-2014
The University of Minnesota will launch a new strategic planning process in fall 2013. Anticipating this future institutional plan, the Libraries' planning and goals for 2013-2014 will draw on the existing planning framework with updated goals to reflect current priorities.

Baltimore Orioles slugger Chris Davis made his bat look more like a toothpick Tuesday night.The scene (shown above) occurred after Davis struck out swinging in the third inning of Baltimore's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. As you can see, Davis is none too pleased with the result of his trip to the plate.That poor piece of lumber didn't stand a chance. I haven't seen a player snap a chunk of wood that easily since Bo Jackson.Despite his lack of success in that at-bat in particular, Davis still leads the league in home runs (6), RBIs (19), slugging (.902) and OPS (1.362). So, maybe his bat hasn't treated him so bad after all.Via Big League Stew

While the TOZAL study shows how a combination of nutritional components can arrest macular degeneration, a study published in an August 8 issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrates that one critical ingredient in the TOZAL formulation -- omega-3 fatty acids -- can significantly reduce the risk of developing the disease. In a large population-based study in seven European countries, researchers found that seniors who had higher intakes of omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) had far lower risks of developing wet macular degeneration. Those in the top 25 percent of DHA and EPA levels -- 300 milligrams a day and above -- reduced their risk by 70 percent. TOZAL is the only currently available eye-health formulation that contains these acids.
"While the AREDS II study will not be completed for five years, both of these studies demonstrate the value of trying this new nutritional approach right now to stave off five years of age-related vision loss," said Dr. Cangemi.
Dr. Cangemi enrolled 75 elderly patients in the TOZAL study who had at least one of their eyes diagnosed with dry macular degeneration. Study sites included New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, Ohio State University, University of California, Irvine and University of Texas, Austin. All patients were treated with the TOZAL formulation for six months.
Study participants saw the researchers during five visits over the six
months, during which they repeatedly received a battery of

Royals, Billy Butler agree to four-year, $30 million extension
Jan 22, 2011, 11:33 AM EDT
According to Dick Kaegal of MLB.com, the Royals and Billy Butler have avoided arbitration by agreeing to a four-year, $30 million extension.
Butler, who was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter, filed for $4.3 million and was offered $3.4 million from the Royals when arbitration figures were exchanged earlier this week. The new contract will cover all three of his arbitration seasons and his first year of free agency.
Butler has a .299/.359/.457 batting line over his first four seasons in the big leagues. Though his power numbers dipped a bit last season, he established career-highs with a .318 batting average, .388 on-base percentage, an .857 OPS and 189 hits. Butler doesn't turn 25 years old until April and should be an important part of a promising rebuilding process in Kansas City.
- Jeremiah Graves - Jan 22, 2011 at 2:29 PM
Butler has the potential to be a real big star. I wouldn't be surprised if this is the year the power really turns on, he's got the build to be a big-time masher and has a solid eye at the plate. Good move by the Royals.
- baseballstars - Jan 22, 2011 at 3:22 PM
I don't understand all the hype for Butler. He's a .310 BA, 15-20 HR hitter. By no means bad, but mediocre when compared to his companions at first base. He's young so maybe his power will grow, but the hype has been (for the most part) unwarranted.
- craggt - Jan 23, 2011 at 11:45 PM
If you compare him to Miguel Cabrera or Albert Pujos sure but in the AL first base isn't all that jacked a position. If you look at OPS numbers for AL-Qualified First Basemen Butler is third behind Cabrera and Konerko and ahead of Teixeira. Of course Morneau was out the entire second half of the season but Butler is really the only good, young first baseman in the AL right now, (besides Cabrera who is 3 years older.)
- craggt - Jan 23, 2011 at 7:51 PM
Doesn't declaring that the royals are 'rebuilding' imply that they were at some point built up? They haven't had a winning season since 2003 and haven't been to the postseason since they won the world series in 1985

Do right and fear no man.
My friends describe me as...insert three common adjectives here I'm adventurous but I still do stuff that isn't too adventurous... Sound familiar? Tired of reading the same profile over and over? Me too. Profiles are meant to illustrate how we are different from everyone else, not the same. How am I different you ask? Good question. For starters, I am one of the few men you will find on this site (and off) who has been in combat. Not Call of Duty on the Xbox 360, I mean actual combat. The kind with real bullets. Fewer still, I am someone who has been shot (multiple times) by an insurgent, and, obviously, lived. So ladies, all those times you claimed to support our troops - it's time to pay up! Also, I am a former paratrooper. That means you can tell the pretty boy on the next profile that he can keep that weekend he spent between the legs of a skydiving instructor doing tandem jumps because you found a real man. You're welcome. How is that for adventurous? Despite what you have read so far I am extremely laid-back and not an arrogant prick. A job interview isn't the time to be modest and apparently neither is when you are trying to stand out on an online dating site. That being said, I think have most of the attributes that mature women look for in a potential partner. Creativity/Ambition: Check. If you ask me what I do for a living my answer will be writer, but that's not what I get paid for. I took a job with an oil company in order to support myself until I get published, which will happen. Someday. Nice Guy/Compassionate: Check. One of my jobs in the military was assisting widows of Soldiers killed in action and other family members of deployed Soldiers. You don't succeed in such a position without being a genuinely good person. I'm the guy that opens the door open for one person and ends up holding it open as eleven other people walk through. It's annoying, but I don't know any other way to act. It's who I am. If I keep listing things I might as well copy and paste my resume on here, which neither of us want. In my opinion, every guy is a "nice guy" when they first meet a girl because they want something from you, and if you are not an idiot you know exactly what that is. Nice guys are a dime a dozen. Truly good guys are extremely rare. I am a member of the latter. I don't want someone who is the female equivalent of me. That's sounds boring. And weird. if we don't like the same food that is fine. In my experience most menus have more than one thing to order. If not there is more than one restaurant in Houston. There are other things that are more important in relationships like trust, chemistry, respect, etc.

I have to laugh because the timing of this thread is superb for me. I recently came from a business conference where online monetization models were discussed. The discussion focused on which models were 1.) sustainable, 2.) grew customers over a period of time, and 3.) provided high levels of customer satisfaction and value. It was about online monetization in general (not just the MMO industry), yet the MMO F2P cash shop model (i.e., micro-transactions) was discussed. Guess what - it was noted to be the WORST business model any company could adopt (The speaker, a well-known successful entrepreneur turned VC, says that the second they hear a monetiztion model involving miro-transactions they end the meeting because they know it is NOT a sustainable model).
The main reasons for this being the tremendous decline in customer satisfaction (i.e., it leaves people feeling exploited rather than getting value for their money). It was noted as worse than the cell phone providers (which are pretty bad) and cable companies (which are also bad). An example used was how EA was noted as the worst company because of this decline in customer satisfaction, yet it is known on a myriad of other factors there are worse companies than EA. The speaker made a joke about how the MMO industry lacked good business people as the whole industry was like sheep being lead to slaughter. Then he mentioned how Zynga saw early success with micro-transactions and that the business model went off a cliff. In other words, it was stated that micro-transactions are NOT a sustainable model.
As an aside, he also noted how they would love to invest in the space, but after four years of hearing pitches they have come to the conclusion that the industry has some of the most passionate developers of any industry ( a huge plus), yet is lead by the dumbest f***s for business people, who knew NOTHING about their customers, of any industry (a huge triple negative). He also noted that the people that lead these design teams, have bigger undeserved egos than all of Hollywood combined, and that most of these people are terrible at their jobs but think they are gods gift to the gaming world (which elicited quite a few laughs). He also noted that if there were any entreprenuers from OUTSIDE the industry that enjoyed gaming, it was a space RIPE for major disruption because it was too insular in it's thinking - just like other industries that have been disrupted.
Secondly, a stat I found interesting, that across many online industries, MMO gaming companies (followed closely by those that utilize heavy DLC) overall have the WORST reputations and suffer from long-term sustainablity in customer retention (nice place to be associated with). I found it funny that Turbine was used as the example as a company that once had a stellar reputation that in the space of two years, completely trashed that rep and has become known as a pariah. He noted how the effect of this was that, no matter the future product, the company has already put themselves "in the hole" with succeeding with any future endeavors.
Lastly, micro-transactions actually DECREASE customers over time on average. (Yes, there are a few examples the other way, but they are rare) and DECREASE the available customer base to companies as their reputations (like Zynga's) suffer and therefore future products fail to take-off (like EAs), and meet expectations.
The speaker concluded that "freemium" was the best model to meet the criteria moted above. The downside was that freemium actually requires a company to produce real value for customers (rather than "rip-them off", which were the words used in the conference when referring to micro-transactions) in order to get them to pay. He alsso concluded on how valuable BRAND reputation was in both adding value to a company as well as destroying it (again noting both EA and Zynga).
So, to the subject of the post, I think F2P is the future of the genre, but not micro-transactions which I believe is going to give the entire industry a very hard crash much like Zynga has suffered.
TL;DR F2P is future, but not in current iteration. Micro-transactions cash shops (especially with RNG) need to go. F2P needs to stay and companies need to focus on actually providing value for the money.

I dont know why I have to say this again because its the utter truth.
F2P is not the future. The reason recent sub games have failed is because they are either buggy or WoW clones. If GW2 was the messiah people would sub to it. If Swtor was truly amazing people wouldnt have a problem paying a sub. The model isnt the issue its the games.
Name me one extremely good F2P game that was F2P out of the gate. WoT? Grind fest and not really an mmo, Lol? Moba not an mmo, GW2? B2P, finally Path of Exile, can be argued that its an mmo but its really a coop action game. Thats right there isnt one. All those converted F2P games went that way to save it because of poor design choices. Warhammer was buggy and unfinished, AoC buggy and no endgame, VG buggy as all hell, AION grindy, SWTOR no endgame and the endgame it has was buggy. Then only ones left are RIft which trion themselves have said they are no where near close to f2p expecially after an extremely successful launch of SL, TSW which is on a prescipice atm, it has poor sub rates but a enthusiatic community and dev team which is pushing out new content every 1-2 months, and finally WoW which is IMO the BEST themepark mmo made so it doesnt need F2p. If people wanted to play a wow clone they would just play wow.
Ill say it again if for example SWTOR was the best mmo ever made and was truly revolutionary then you would see sub numbers in the millions. The model isnt the problem its the games.
And as it stands the only true F2P game is Aion which gives the whole game to you and allows you to buy cosmetic and xp boosts in its shop. F2P right now is nothing more then a glorified trial trying to bait you into subbing or spending MORE then 15$ in the cash shop.

I was one of those seeing GW2 as the new Messiah of MMOs. After a month I CBA to log in again, too boring.

It's simple really, the companies that back these games make more money providing F2P games then they do on subscription games. That should tell you something.
Free to Play games have a visible life cycle. At first they lure people in with low prices & a fairly even playing field. As popularity rises so do prices, while the ability to compete without paying drops. This continues until pretty much all that's left are the Pay to Win players who eventually figure out that the playing field has once again evened out, but at a very high price. LOL
So if I'm going to spend my money on a game, I'll always choose a subscription game. It's absolutely going to be cheaper & I prefer an even playing field where my skill & talent mean something. I'm always amused by the people who spend more money on "Free to Play" games then they would on a subscription.

Micro transactions can work as long as you business model isn't predicated upon "ripping people off".
League of Legends is one of the most successful F2P micro transaction based games. BUT, they allow you to play for free and to grind out points very slowly to earn champs instead of buying them with money. That's why it succeeds, there is no solid wall that you hit and can't continue for free. Champions rotate so you get a taste of different ones and aren't stuck with the same ones for 3 years.
A horrible example of microtransactions is D3 which was built upon screwing the players in terms of itemization to drive them to the RMAH. Had the RMAH been a bonus option for those who weren't willing to grind out gear, then it would have been fine. But blizz really botched it when they chose to have horrible gear (aka gear that isn't good enough to help you through the content that is dropping said gear) then you get the hate and the quick mass exodus.
Freemium can be done poorly, usually by locking certain things away that should never be locked away . . . like hotbars or skill slots or by locking content by requiring purchases instead of allowing a slow gring to unlock it.

Personally I don't think that either the subscription model or the "free to play" model are the future at all.
I'm guessing that ZeniMax Online will release TESO with a subscription fee, thinking that the game is "different" enough from WoW to justify a return to that model. Many believe that sub games are failing because they are "too alike WoW", but I don't think that's true. What we have to consider is that - outside of WoW - there are no major subscription titles in the west, and there never have been. Eve is the closest thing to a "competitor" to WoW, and even it is having trouble breaking the 1,000,000 mark. If/When ZMO release TESO under a sub model, it will fail, and then hopefully there will be a realisation that subscription fees - in their current form, at least - are not a viable model to follow.
Does this mean that "Free to Play" is the model of choice for the future of the genre? No. The problem the "Free to Play" model has is that it is wildly varied in its representation. Where one developer may fund itself using a relatively fair and transparent model (League of Legends), another will pursue a wholely more exploitative approach (SWTOR). That isn't to say the F2P model in and of itself is bad, just that it is open to exploitation more so than any other model of payment. You just have to look at this site, and other sites, to see what the general consensus is on the F2P model. Even though there are great games out there applying the model intelligently, such as LoL, TF2, TA, etc, we are more inclined to remember the fact that there are games employing the model to wantonly exploit us.
So if P2P and F2P are not going to work, what will? Quite simply: traditional "Buy to Play" is the model we're probably going to see more of in the coming years. ArenaNet proved a point with Guild Wars 2: box sales can fuel a games life cycle and return significant margins. If we look at the single player market, we can see that developers such as Bethesda, CD Projeckt RED, DICE and other such names are favouring long content life cycles through DLC. This can easily be translated to the MMO space: release a boxed game at a premium price, and then follow a traditional "expansion" life cycle with 6-monthly or yearly releases charged at typical "expansion" prices, perhaps with DLC content thrown around along the way.
The problem we have right now is that the management executives at big studios - management teams that have no understanding of the market they operate in, as has previously been pointed out - are nickle and diming gamers in order to see "what they can get away with". Developers are passionate about making games, but invariably not passionate about running a business. This role is deferred to people who are passionate about business, but invariably not passionate about games.
As has been stated, someone needs to stir up some trouble in the industry.

I think microtransactions are evil! Unless they are for silly things like customizing your characters looks. But when they impede my enjoyment of a game I just feel ripped off and quit. I don't like feeling like I am being nickel and dimed. F2P in it's current form across the majority of games is just not acceptable to me. And sub games with cash shops that give you a one up on others its just disgusting.
Also, I wish people wouldn't compare LoL to all these F2P games. LoL does not restrict you. By the time you can even do ranked games, or should I say by the time you can actually compete in ranked games you have already earned enough free IP to purchase a couple rune pages, multiple characters, and all the runes you need. The only thing you really would want to pay for if you are hooked are the skins! I've never felt ripped off by LoL because they don't sell anything I NEED to enjoy the game. Just things I WANT. IE; in some mmo's to keep up they want you to pay for enhanced experience bonuses, or they want you to pay so something is completed quicker. In LoL you can get experience faster, but whoopee dooooo. If anything that only hurts you as now you are at a higher level, and have LESS than those at the same level as you. Therefore, the XP bonus hurts you.
Now to Wayshuba, I see no reason why you wouldn't share the speakers name from a conference. It makes no sense and only leads me to believe that you are making a story up. For one, he held a conference to educate and get a message out. You really believe he wants his message spread but does not want his name associated with it? What is this some sort of underground neo-nazi leader who is actually a politician and needs to hide his relation? Sorry, I have seen too many movies. Regardless, I call BS on your "conference". No one holds a public or private conference that hundreds of people can attend on such a typical topic only to want their names held back. For those wondering, in his thread he refused to share the name.

This is F2P, the boxes they sell in most F2P cash shop games are now just lucky boxes, many games are basically nothing more than casino with some content around it, it's no longer about the game, the game revolves around teh cash shop.

Unless the company is non profit you will always get what you pay for. If you are enjoying a game that is truly free to play then great, games ate meant for fun.
Saying that all MMOs should become or be F2P is hopefully not going to happen. The quality will go down. There's no denying that. With no or unreliable income companies will do what they need to in order to stay in business.

Yes f2p is so grand,i love seeing chat spammed with kina sales every 5 seconds and stalls setup to sell game currency.How about go try Eve and enter the noob chat,the ISk selling posam is so bad,you won't have a god's prayer of seeing anything in the chat window,except scrolling spam.
F2p -=piss poor sup[port and GM,might as well say Gm's don't exist.Players can bot and setup rmt stalls right in the open for everyone to see,it is because nobody cares.
NCSOFT always has been a huge reason why f2p is a complete joke.They are a bad influence for all developers.When i see a level 10 item in Aion selling for millions of Kina,i just shake my head in disbelief at how careless a developer can get.If a developer does not care one bit about their games environment,why shoud lanyone care about their game?
That is why i quit supporting the COD franchise,when cheating got so bad and there was not one avenue to reprt cheating,i knew they did not care.This is happening far too often now and it is because without a monthly sub fee,these devs have nothing to lose at all,if you bought the game,they already have that.

For terrible games that couldn't justify the sub price...well because they were terrible, yes F2P is the future for such games. But is F2P the future of the MMO genre?... I doubt it. All its gonna take is one game to really put up a nice feature list (not Quest, Dungeon/Raid.. BG..Rinse/repeat with next expansion/content update) and be sub based and it will pick back up again.
"In the immediate future, we have this one, and then we've got another one that is actually going to be – so we're going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what we're targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you can't hold me to it. But what we're targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened.

I don't get this whole F2P is the future either. It is the present, we don't need prophets to tell us what is going on now. I'm not saying this is a good thing or a bad thing. Even worse we have the games where you have b2p with cash shops, and the worst of all milking methods: box + sub + cash shop. F2P isn't even the worst of the monetizing methods in MMOs, and that is sad.

The Ubers are coming
Anyone still playing Diablo 3??
Patch 1.0.5 will bring in the Uber versions of bosses. Can't wait :captnkill:
Re: The Ubers are coming
Do I still need to play through everything 4 or more times to max level to play these uber versions? pass
Re: The Ubers are coming
I play and will look forward that the loot drops are gonna improve or the quality cause inferno for being hard dont match the drop vs the difficulty. The prices are still insane for most stuff the legendaries and sets and yet farming the paragon seems not to change much i wonder what keeps people going in the end.
Re: The Ubers are coming
Yeah, it's a pain to get a character leveled up enough to both run inferno Act 3 and actually get some drops but once you do get there the game gets to be a lot more fun.
My monk is currently at paragon level 53, 302% Magic Find (with valor stack), and 80k damage. Set items are still hard to come buy but I find a lot of legendaries.
Re: The Ubers are coming
I had a blast with D3 but just lost interest after a few play throughs......I doubt I'll ever be able to pick the game up long enough again to reach uber content.

BBC Trust wants your input on HDTV
The BBC Trust (the body that oversees the BBC) wants to find out what viewers and listeners think about the BBC's proposed new high definition television channel.
Seeing as it will be licence fee payer's cash involved, the trust are asking for opinions as to whether the BBC should play a role in the development of high definition television broadcasting in the UK.
The BBC ran a year's trial of HDTV broadcasting, a scheme that started in May 2006, but for the scheme to continue and develop, it must have BBC Trust approval.
If you want to get involved, and have your say, copies of the BBC's HDTV channel proposal and consultation forms are available via the link below.

Glen Hansard was already scheduled to deliver a rather generous two-hour set at the Pabst Theater Friday night.
Running 10 minutes behind schedule with a boisterous cover of The Band's "Don't Do It," Hansard - best known for his roles in The Swell Season, The Frames and the 2007 indie musical "Once" - appeared to finally end on one heck of a high note.
But then Hansard and his 10-piece band (including a three-piece string section, three horn players and members of The Frames and the Levon Helm Band), in the spur of the moment, decided to play another one - The Band's "The Weight." Clearly, with the rushed tinkering, rough start and Hansard himself missing a verse, this wasn't rehearsed.
But the spontaneity, the energy, made it magical. Different members of the group took swipes at the verses, until the ecstatic crowd chimed in with "Take a load off, Fanny."
And then the band left the stage. The night appeared to be over.
But it wasn't.
Hansard grabbed an acoustic guitar and started calling for "Anna" to come on stage.
From the floor, a petite fan hopped up. With her hands clasped in front of her, and with Hansard strumming the guitar, the pair sang a lovely duet to the Oscar-winning "Falling Slowly" from "Once."
Anna Pesut, a 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Chesterton, Ind., hadn't met Hansard before. She explained backstage after the show that she had tweeted him a couple of times, asking if it'd be possible to sing "Falling Slowly" with Hansard in Milwaukee, and sent him a link to her performance of the song on SoundCloud.
She never heard back from Hansard, so when he called her name, she was stunned.
"I could only see the first couple of rows, thank God," Pesut said. "I've never played in front of a crowd that large before. . . . It was a dream come true."
When the song ended, Hansard's set had run a full two hours and 30 minutes.
But it wasn't just a night of great musical quantity. This was one of the highest-quality nights of music in Milwaukee all year.
Hansard excelled with the big band behind him, taking his music to unexpected places. The peppy love jam "Love Don't Leave Me Waiting" from this summer's solo album "Rhythm and Repose" shouldn't segue to Dixieland jazz so easily, and yet the band made it work - and then seamlessly transformed the jam into a wild cover of Aretha Franklin's "Respect."
When he performed alone, Hansard was exceptional - even taking on The Frames' slow burner "Say It to Me Now" and love-struck Irish melody "Gold" (made famous in "Once") on acoustic guitar, without any microphone at all (the latter included backing vocals and accompaniment on violin).
He was quite chatty between songs (no wonder the show ran so long), but it wasn't generic banter. It felt of the moment - whether he recounted how "Song of Good Hope" was about a friend going through chemotherapy, or when he humorously likened an eerie, wordless vocal harmony to a Russian angel coming upon a European village to deliver bad news.
There are few other folk singers who sing with such urgency, at times even violence, as Hansard. His use of yelled vocals - like unbridled bursts of pure emotion - provide a gripping dynamic live, juxtaposed with his songs' more subdued moments.
Combined with the way he occasionally shreds the acoustic and dances on stage, it's almost like he's an '80s hair-metal god trapped in a folkie's body.

health departments (New York City, Detroit, San Diego, and rural Colorado) have participated in a Community Health Network demonstration study to determine whether collaboration with academic health centers or managed care organizations would influence and improve vaccination coverage within the entire population in the designated region (A.Bauer, CDC, personal communication, May 21, 1999).
As noted above, immunization coverage studies within small geographic areas or among specific populations (including low-income workers, Medicaid or Medicare participants who are served by managed care organizations, public housing residents, and migrant farmworkers) can provide important data on variations in coverage patterns that require attention through state and national health finance and health care policies and practices. Local immunization surveys provide intelligence needed to manage the community health system effectively, target needy groups, and ensure accountability within the public and private health care sectors. However, significant barriers challenge such efforts to track vulnerable groups:
Surveys of baseline coverage for Medicaid populations, including the coverage rates for families served by managed care organizations, are not consistently available, nor can results be compared across survey designs.
The difficulty of gaining routine access to households of very poor families, due in part to the high rates of mobility among such families, poses significant methodological barriers to data collection efforts.
Special population studies are commonly funded for limited periods of time through research or state grant awards supported directly by CDC. These special area studies are inconsistent and often difficult to compare because they use different standards of coverage, different age groups, and different survey methods.
CASA Surveys. CASA is CDC-developed software and associated procedures for assessing coverage levels for a clinic or practice. The sample for 2-year-olds consists of children aged 24 to 35 months; coverage is calculated at the 24-month mark. Charts for children are included in the sample if there is a record of at least one medical or immunization visit; a chart can be excluded from the sample under certain stringent conditions.3 Providers sometimes complain that the inclusion criteria are overly broad.4 They report that parents often fail to notify their provider when they move, and when this happens, the chart does not bear a "moved or gone elsewhere" notation. Further, providers in birthing hospitals say patients may come to the hospital's outpatient clinic for the first or second

Curbside Classic is dedicated to the pursuit of documenting the older cars still on our streets, as well automotive history in general. A more detailed description of our mission and site is here. CC began in February of 2011, and has grown rapidly since then, attracting hundreds of thousands of Unique Visitors per month from around the globe. Here are some of the individuals who help make CC possible:
Paul Niedermeyer : Founder/Publisher/Executive Editor
Paul has transformed a lifelong passion of checking out interesting cars parked on the street into Curbside Classic. Fed up with corporate life after a stint in television, Paul moved his family to Eugene, Oregon in 1993. On a walk in 2009 he encountered a battered 1972 Cadillac that inspired a story; the light bulb lit and he began to document and write about the old cars still plying the streets. Curbside Classics became one of the most popular series at TTAC.com, and in February of 2011, he founded CurbsideClassic.com to create a home for writers and readers that share a similar interest for everything automotive, but most of all older cars and history.
Regular Contributors and Editors (listed alphabetically):
Roger Carr: Senior Editor
Roger lives in the UK and has suffered from being a car nut for many years. He graduated in Engineering from Coventry University, which is the nearest equivalent England has to Detroit. Coventry no longer builds any cars, but is still the engineering base for Jaguar and the University building names read like the list of exhibitors at the 1948 London Motor Show……
Roger's main interest in this forum is to recall the mainstream but now less well remembered European cars and light commercials of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, but reserves the right to go "off piste" from time to time, to cover such things as the Mazda MX-5. He is also very interested in the British Leyland story, from Morris and Austin to the End, and is a volunteer guide and explainer for visitors to Nuffield Place, the home of William Morris, Viscount Nuffield, from 1933 to 1963.
He drives a Ford Fiesta and keeps a 1990 Mazda MX-5 for the summer weekends. The first car he crashed was an Austin miniMetro.
Jim Cavanaugh, Senior Editor: As a child, he never understood why the other kids would rather play somewhere other than in a car. As a teen, he decided that if he traded frequently enough, he could eventually own one of everything. When this plan revealed itself as impractical (it happened while spitting out rust during replacement of his fourth exhuast system in two years), he augmented his experiences by reading every source of car-related material he could get his hands on, while always trying to own and drive interesting cars. He somehow looked up from cars long enough to get married and have three children who are now in high school and college. When Jim is not thinking or writing about cars, he practices law in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he is always on the lookout for another Curbside Classic.
Tom has had an obsession with cars ever since he could identify one. Having parents who owned such cool cars as a 1951 Porsche 356 and 1973 Volvo 1800ES didn't hurt. From kindergarten through middle school, he frequently got in trouble for drawing cars during class, and entertained fellow classmates on field trips by identifying every car that went by. He grew up with many Volvo 240s and 740s and became a lifelong Volvo fan. He is on his third one, but can appreciate just about anything on wheels. Frequent trips to car dealerships, classic car shows and cruise-ins are a must to this day. He is a lifelong resident of Northwest Illinois.
David Saunders: Senior Editor Dave is a self confessed car-aholic, he is slightly embarrassed to admit to owning well over thirty vehicles so far. Highlights include building a Lotus Seven style car, rare over here Reliant Scimitar GTE, and a handful of Russian SUVs. Located in Southern Alberta he has taken a particular interest in vehicles more unique to the Canadian market.
Ed Stembridge: Contributing Editor
An industrial designer by education, Ed lives on a small farm in The Middle West where his attempts at small-scale farming regularly provide entertainment to the local "real" farmers. His sons both learned to drive in the same 1969 F-100 Ed did many years ago.
Tony LaHood: Copy Editor/Contributor
Growing up around Peoria, Illinois—not exactly the center of the automotive universe—Tony nevertheless found ways to indulge his total, uncontrollable and utterly irrational passion for cars. His high holy days usually fell in late October; at a time when most of his contemporaries were looking forward to trick-or-treating, he couldn't wait to visit the local showrooms to scrutinize the next year's models and fill his bag with catalogs for every make and model.
Wanting never again to hear the words "wind chill factor", Tony moved to Southern California in 1980 and went to work as an advertising copywriter on the Hyundai account. After unsuccessfully pitching the tagline, "The relentless pursuit of adequacy", he went on to work as a creative director and writer on Olds, Land Rover, Mazda and Kia. His non-automotive campaigns have sold everything from consumer electronics to real estate developments to cemetery plots. Tony currently works as a freelance copywriter and voiceover talent, and performs comedy and improv on various Orange County stages.
Tony keeps us looking professional, by checking and editing almost everything that goes up here at CC, and for that we are all grateful.
A lifelong Hoosier, Jim is also a lifelong car spotter. He got his start as a boy in the very late 1960s, sitting on the front stoop watching the cars go by and accurately identifying every one. He envied the boy up the street whose dad sold cars and brought a different demonstrator home every night. He could tell you what car sat in the garage of every neighbor within a three-block radius. He would tell you, if you didn't stop him. It brings him tremendous joy to find cars that were common during his youth still on the road today. Jim makes software for a living and scratches his itch to write about non-car-related topics on his personal blog at http://blog.jimgrey.net.
Brendan Saur: Editor
Obsessed with cars since his toddler years, Brendan used to name every car one the road from his car seat in the back of his mother's Jeep, primarily relying on head- and taillights as identifiers in his pre-literate years. Brendan has also been an avid collector of 1/18 scale car models since around age 3 and of vintage car brochures since his early-teens. He hopes to some day be fortunate enough to start a collection of life-size cars.
A recent graduate of Suffolk University, Brendan possesses a Bachelor's in Business Administration and Marketing. He's currently interning at a Marketing and PR agency in Boston, but still makes plenty time for his lifelong passion for cars.
Dave Skinner: Contributing Editor
Over the years, Dave has worked as a truck driver, technician, emissions instructor and technical writer. Currently, he works in the LA area for a major automotive manufacturer. Living here exposes him to many rust free Curbside Classics, including the occasional 1970's Japanese or European survivor. His job also takes him to Japan from time to time, where he has captured several interesting US and Japanese Curbside Classics.
William Stopford: Contributing Editor
William Stopford hails from Brisbane in Queensland, Australia but has been living in his favorite city, New York City. Despite NYC boasting one of the world's best subway networks, he has missed having a car as from a young age, he has been fascinated with them. His preschool teacher once pulled him aside and asked him to bring something other than car magazines for show and tell as he was boring the other children. William is a Journalism/Marketing graduate and wants to work either in the nonprofit sector, or in automotive journalism or the automotive industry.

The concert, which also includes works by Richard Strauss, begins at 3 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 10, in the Bryan Fine Arts Building.
Tickets are $30 for adults, $26 for seniors 65 and up, and $8 for students. Call 931-525-2633 for reservations. The October concert is sponsored by Regions Bank of Cookeville.
"Other than the concerto, this is a concert of one-movement works, and the Mozart concerto is a departure from the kind of piano concerto our audience has heard in recent seasons," says BSO Music Director Dan Allcott. "Previous soloists have played what we think of as 'big' pieces – Beethoven's 3rd, Rachmaninoff's 2nd, the Grieg and Prokofiev concertos – and it's time for something of a more refined nature.
"I think of Mozart as the father of piano concertos, so by programming this piece, we're pulling back to the beginning," Allcott says. "The Mozart helps refine our expectations of what a piano concerto can be. Steven is very elegant, and what he'll give us in this concerto is a beautiful, pearly sound."
By contrast, the second half of the program is split between Strauss' tone poem Don Juan and the iconic "Dance of the Seven Veils" from the opera Salome – both works of great sensuality, passion, and melodrama.
Hailed by the Los Angeles Times for his "impressive clarity, sense of structure and monster technique," Belgian pianist Steven Vanhauwaert made his debut in China this summer, giving solo recitals throughout the country, including the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing.
A winner of the Maurice Lefranc award, the Rotary Prize, the Galiot Prize and the USC Concerto Competition, Vanhauwaert won the 2004 Grand Prize at the Los Angeles International Liszt Competition. He performs frequently throughout Europe and the U.S., both solo and in chamber music groups, and his music airs regularly on classical music radio in California, Arizona, Tennessee and Michigan.
Concert week activities in October include:
• "BSO Backstage," an original WCTE-TV production hosted by Becky Magura with guests Allcott and Gail Luna, executive director of the BSO, airs on Channel 22 (Cookeville cable channel 10) at 10 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 5; 8:30 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 7; and 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 9.
• Concert preview luncheon in Crossville: 11 a.m., Wednesday, Oct. 6, at the Palace Theater on Main Street. Cost is $10 and payable at the door. Call 931-484-6133 for reservations by Monday, Oct. 4.
• Symphony Social, featuring live music, 7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 8, at the Millard Oakley STEM Center on the TTU campus, 155 W. 7th St. The event includes music by jazz combo All of Us, a talk by Allcott, and a presentation on "The Science of Music." Admission is $20; proceeds benefit the Bryan Symphony Orchestra. Call 931-525-2633 for reservations by Monday, Oct. 4. It's best to avoid parking on 7th Street in front of the Millard Oakley STEM Center. Other parking and accessibility information is available at this website.
• Concert day, Sunday, Oct. 10, includes a preview lecture by TTU music faculty member Catherine Godes beginning at 2 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 10, in Room 223 of the Bryan Fine Arts Building. The concert itself begins at 3 p.m. A post-performance reception takes place in the lobby, followed by dinner at Mauricio's Italian Restaurant near the TTU campus, 232 N. Peachtree Ave. Call 931-525-2633 for dinner reservations by Friday, Oct. 8.
The Bryan Symphony Orchestra, the only professional symphony in a rural area of Tennessee, is a member of the Made in America consortium being honored this year by the League of American Orchestras with its 2010 Gold Baton Award. The award recognizes the role the consortium of 89 orchestras played in commissioning classical music, beginning with Joan Tower's "Made in America," which the Bryan Symphony premiered in Cookeville in 2006.

Kyle Bennett of Bulls247.com is reporting that Cameron Fraser, a 3-star offensive lineman from Phenix City, AL., has flipped his commitment from South Florida to Louisville. Fraser, a 6-foot-5 300-pound prospect took an official visit to Louisville on Jan. 19 and visited UAB this past weekend. He had been verbally committed to South Florida since July, but will now join Charlie Strong's 2013 class at Louisville Fraser also had scholarship offers from Ole Miss and Arkansas. Charlie Strong and staff now have fourteen commitments from the 2013 class. I'd say you'll see at least two or possibly three more players added before national signing day on Feb. 6. The Louisville staff is traveling this week making in-home visits and will host visitors this weekend.
