CONCORD, N.C. – The fourth round of the 2013 RLV Tuned Exhaust Products Gold Cup Series goes off this weekend with the GT Machine Grand Nationals marking the second straight WKA national event at Pittsburgh International Race Complex in western Pennsylvania.
The stars of WKA's 4-cycle sprint series will take to Pitt's Wilson Circuit for the fifth consecutive season and ninth time since 2003. The PIRC venue has become a popular destination for national kart racing and improvements continue to be made to make it one of the best, most respected sprint karting facilities in the United States.
The stakes have never been higher for a Gold Cup show at Pittsburgh. This weekend's show marks the annual GT Machine Grand National event for the Gold Cup Series, meaning prestigious Grand National Eagle trophies will be on the line for every national division.
The Senior Pro Gas divisions are expected to be dandies with a considerable amount of money on the line. A nice $500 prize has been dangled in front Senior Pro Gas racers for Friday night's Animal Heavy Money Race and Saturday and Sunday's Senior Pro Gas main events.
If a driver can win each of the three races, he or she will earn a $500 bonus, meaning one driver has the potential to leave western Pa., with a cool $2,000 check in their possession.
The Senior Pro Gas class has averaged about 15 entrants at South Bend, Ind., in May and Camden, Ohio, last month. Another strong turnout is expected as the class nears the 20-entry mark in its first season on the Gold Cup circuit.
Jeffrey Beatty enters Pitt as the Senior Pro Gas point leader. Only Beatty and Patrick O'Neal have started all six finals to date. Michael Prokup Jr. and Josh Stiefel sit third and fourth and when drops are applied, they may be back in the thick of the points battle. A brand-new Margay, Coyote or Razor chassis with all the bells and whistles, minus the gauge, will be awarded to the class's national champion.
Sportsman Pro Gas has been another highlight of the 2013 RLV Gold Cup campaign. The new division has averaged 12 to 14 entrants at each of the opening three Gold Cup nationals this year, and like the Junior and Senior Pro Gas divisions, a brand-new, turn-key go-kart will be awarded to the division's national champion.
The points are close heading into Pittsburgh. Georgia's Dylan Murry has two wins on the season and holds a 65-point lead over New York's Nick Fauci. Matthew Miller is 95 points back in the third position with Jason Alder and David Kalb Jr. rounding out the top five.
This weekend's fourth round marks a key event in the national championship points race. The championship cannot be won this weekend, but it certainly could be lost. Drivers with a shot at the championship and the brand-new Coyote, Margay or Razor chassis will need to play it smart and position themselves for race wins while not getting too anxious and perhaps finding themselves out of the action, which could cost a shot at a title.
In October at Rockingham Sportsman Pro Gas racers will be gunning for two special awards. If eligible, the winner of Saturday's Sportsman Pro Gas feature at The Rock will earn one free entry fee at every Gold Cup national in 2014, a value of over $300 based on the first-level entry prices.
The winner of Sunday's Sportsman Pro Gas main event at Rockingham will win one set of Bridgestone tires at every Gold Cup national in 2014.
Eligible drivers must have competed in at least one class in three of the four national events heading into Rockingham.
Sportsman drivers currently eligible for the entry fee and tire awards at Rockingham are Dylan Murry, Nick Fauci, Matthew Miller, Jason Alder, David Kalb Jr., Alex Vrabel, Cody Hall, Joshua Stark, Zach Wells, Camden Gruber, TJ Vargo, Cole Hicks, Nick Torres, Riley Kelley, Cale Hall, Adam Cornell and Cameron Clifford.
Fauci, Miller and Alder have their own battle going on in Sportsman 1 Lite and Heavy. Fauci enters Pittsburgh leading the points in both classes over Miller and Alder. Sportsman 1 Lite shows Fauci only 20 markers ahead of Miller with Alder only 40 points out of the lead.
Fauci has a little more of a cushion in Sportsman 1 Heavy with a 95-point lead over Miller. Fauci has won all three Sportsman 1 Heavy finals this season thus far.
Adam Cornell is only 10 points ahead of Zach Wells in Sportsman 2 Lite. Cornell took the first two wins of the season before Wells bested the field at Camden. Sportsman 2 Heavy shows Kalb out front after he's won the last two rounds in the class. Kalb has a 60-point lead over Cornell with Wells in third.
Several drivers have a shot at national championships in the Junior divisions.
Ohio's Sarah Luoma enters the GT Machine Grand Nationals leading Junior Lite and Junior Heavy. Luoma holds a 115-point lead in Junior Lite over Tyler Stiefel. Junior Heavy shows Luoma ahead by 50 markers over Tanner Lee.
Lee has the point lead in Junior Medium by a cool 110-point gap over Luoma. Stiefel sits third.
Tyler Stiefel leads Restricted Junior over Tyler Woods and Demattia.
Lee also leads Junior Pro Gas and Junior Clone. Lee has clinched Junior Clone as long as he enters either Pittsburgh or Rockingham. In Junior Pro Gas Lee is battling Tyler Woods and Demattia for the title.
The Junior Pro Gas division, while it hasn't featured great entries this year, will still award the national champion with a brand-new kart. It appears the battle for the title and go-kart will come down to Lee, Woods and Demattia.
Keep an eye on Dustin Demattia in these Junior classes. Demattia missed the Jacksonville opener but has run well since. With Jacksonville as his drop he may be able to come back and win some championships if things go his way at Pittsburgh and Rockingham.
In Senior racing, Scott Kleman leads Animal Lite and is tied with Tyler Sandmeyer in Animal Medium but has withdrew his entry for this weekend's event because he and his wife are expecting a child any day.
This should give Sandmeyer the inside road on the Animal Medium championship, while Kleman will likely still be able to win Lite because he has over a 150-point lead over Cayla Chapman.
Sandmeyer is in control of Animal Heavy and has won every outing in the class thus far.
Animal Amateur Medium shows Joshua Stiefel with a 20-point lead over Paul Headley. Ryan Bavineau sits third.
Tim Stiefel has all but clinched Animal Masters for the second consecutive season and Patrick O'Neal has a commanding lead over Matthew Horst in Senior Clone.
Pittsburgh International Race Complex gates swing open Thursday for parking, pre-tech and registration. A full day of practice will greet racers Friday before the Moto Option Friday Night Thunder Series, which includes 10-lap Shootouts for Sportsman Pro Gas and Junior Pro Gas and the big $500-To-Win Animal Heavy Money Race.
National racing goes off all day Saturday and Sunday. Click here to view the GT Machine Grand National entry form, which includes the weekend schedule, directions, lodging and other important information.

I don't try poetry much, but when I do it feels exhilarating. Does that make me a geek? In any case and always, Dare to share!
Our Dogwood Trail
Beneath a canopy of jade
I walk the path
Guided by instinct
I quack with the ducks
I watch the fawns
They watch me watching
The eagles come with their demands of flesh
I wave them away and bang my drums
Like a woodpecker I tap out my territory
I howl through the night and crow through the day
I never dream that time will pass away
Beneath a canopy of emerald
I walk the path
Guided by intention
I am the salmon against the current
Destiny depends on me
The bear on shore hasn't got a chance
I swerve to the side
The fool in the Fiat will be the one today
Not the threat of a viperous pit would stop me
Mastery morphs into flow
The muse comes and goes and comes again
But the story never ends
Beneath a canopy of amber
I walk the path
Guided by knowledge
I still burn the hours in quest with the ferocity of a lioness
I gracefully hold the jackals at bay
Having learned to surf the current like a butterfly
I feel the air shift as the breeze sweeps from the North
The pine needles crushed beneath my feet
A jay bolts down and startles me
He screeches and when I look back cross-eyed and yell "I do not understand!"
he only screeches again and flies away
Beneath a canopy of blue
I walk the path
Guided by faith
I confront the turkeys with hardly a squawk
My mere presence sends them scattering
I laugh as they squabble together
Circling then in their warrior's dance I laugh again
If only they could see the sky like I
If only they could follow the forms of light that skip between the clouds
Like glitter spinning through space and time
Particles of fairies or ghosts or cosmic dust
Do they also watch me watching?
Beneath a canopy of white
I walk the path
Guided by wisdom
The turkeys have established their pecking order
The ducks shake under the fountain
The fawns graze absentmindedly right in front of me
But the dogs then bark and scare them away
I don't mind though
We will live to see one more day
Before the light fades and the sky turns gray
The stars come out and call me near
The chirping of invisible life sonorously surrounds
The scent of eucalyptus drifts before the final sound
A glow pierces through the shadows and falls across my breast
And in a ray of infinite knowing
I lie down and beg the light enchant me
I pray the stars play for me the greatest mystery of all things
They merrily oblige
They sing a festive song as I pass along
No more mysteries for you now strident one
The ducks the fawns the turkeys are all gone
The wind whispers your last words in silence
To the gods our Dogwood trail moves on.

|Council of Councils Members
Activist Post
It is incredible that mention of a one-world government in many circles is still considered to be conspiracy talk. Fortunately, the global political awakening that arch-globalist Zbigniew Brzezinski has referred to is forcing ever-increasing justifications for their use of globalist language.
One would hope that a relatively new Council on Foreign Relations initiative that is expanding can lay to rest any debate about the desire to form a global government in the name of supposedly solving global problems.
The initiative called The Council of Councils was featured in a recent round table discussion of the central problems facing the world that they believe require multilateral cooperation. The discussions and recommendations released from this convention of experts is important to keep available the next time you hear the label conspiracy theorist hurled in your direction. The title of the round table was Challenges for Global Governance in 2013.
Just as we have seen from other think tanks such as the Project For a New American Century, The Royal Society, and the Brookings Institution, among others; their thoughts translate to reality on a less-than-coincidental frequency, so we would do well to listen to what they are saying.
The Council of Councils initiative was announced in March, 2012 and clearly identifies a strategy for forming alliances across a series of shared concerns as set forth by the CFR. It is important to note from the beginning that the CFR bills itself as non-partisan; and here is where the uninitiated can immediately be tripped up. Non-partisan sounds like a good thing, going beyond typical party divisions, while striking a note that rings of independence and an objective search for the truth.
However, when one understands that in their own words, "The founding membership of the Council of Councils includes leading institutions from nineteen countries, roughly tracking the composition of the Group of Twenty (G20)," we begin to get an inkling that their version of non-partisan means that they are flexible in their use of whatever political language is expedient to get results that go beyond any concept of nationalism.
The party of the CFR is the One World Party.
There have been many predictions for 2013: political, economic, and environmental. These predictions take a large step toward confirmation when we read the writings of elite think tanks; they tell us explicitly what the plan is. The conferences themselves illustrate much of what we can expect on the globalist agenda for 2013, and it seems to line up perfectly with events that would benefit those in favor of a one world system and centralized control.
From the CFR website:
The Council of Councils Moscow Regional Conference
December 12, 2012—December 13, 2012
On December 12-13, 2012, CFR convened the second Council of Councils regional conference: "Russia, Europe, and the Future of Global Governance."
Participants discussed four major themes:
• Russia's G20 chairmanship
• The eurozone crisis and global economy
• Syria and the function of the UN Security Council
• Cybersecurity and institutional reforms
Council of Councils Russia Regional Conference Agenda (PDF)
Conference Papers: Prospects for the Russian Chairmanship of the G20 (PDF)
The Council of Councils Singapore Regional Conference
October 30, 2012—October 31, 2012
On October 30-31, 2012, CFR convened the first Council of Councils regional conference: "Asia at the Crossroad: Regional Priorities for the Twenty First Century."
Participants discussed five major themes:
• Stabilizing the global financial system
• Advancing trade liberalization
• Strengthening maritime security and freedom of navigation
• Assessing the proliferation threat in Asia
• The future of Asian security cooperation
Rapporteur's Report for the Council of Councils Asia Regional Conference (PDF)
Council of Councils Asia Regional Conference Agenda (PDF)
The Council of Councils Inaugural Conference
March 12, 2012—March 13, 2012The documents above are ponderous reading to say the least, but they echo what we see currently playing out on the world stage to such an extent that they are better understood as a blueprint.
CFR convened the inaugural Council of Councils conference on March 12-13 in Washington, DC. Participants tackled four major themes:
• The overall state of global governance and multilateral cooperation
• The status of the nuclear nonproliferation regime (with a focus on Iran)
• The dollar's future as the world's reserve currency
• The criteria for humanitarian intervention, in the wake of regime change in Libya, and an ongoing crisis in Syria.
The themes above can best be distilled into the following 5 directives:
- Managing global economic collapse and the loss of the dollar as the world's reserve currency (stabilizing the global financial system).
- Managing "humanitarian intervention" through UN representation (fulfilling the narrative of abusive dictators in need of regime change).
- Managing Eurasia, i.e. China's economic influence and Russia's political influence (Asia trade liberalization and Russian G20 chairmanship).
- Managing nuclear "rogue states" (Iran and North Korea - "proliferation").
- Managing the Internet (Cybersecurity and related institutions).
Brzezinski's response in 1974 to the question, What is The New World Order? is telling:
We need to change the international system for a global system in which new, active, and creative forces -- recently developed -- should be integrated.This has been used to great effect by the U.S. to start wars where "terrorist" regimes can be subverted or dismantled, and their flags (resources) captured. Likewise, financial wars create the need for reorganization. As stated in the Prospects For The Russian Chairmanship of the G20:
Generally speaking, the authors would like to see the G20 emerge from merely a crisis committee to become a more enduring steering group for the global economy...
A more ruthless approach to who gets to participate at the top table and the number of formal presentations made during the meetings would be another important contribution to Russia's aim of getting back to basics. (emphasis added)There are indeed many moving pieces on The Grand Chessboard, but there does appear to be an urgency to make 2013 a transformative year within the "Great Game" which could lead to a WWIII scenario as the final consolidation both political and economic comes to fruition.
2013 seems to be the threshold where we will discover which force has the momentum to decide the unwritten future beyond.
Between Two Ages was published in 1970.
"The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities." (This was an excellent prediction although it is slightly worse now.) - Warrantless wiretapping was approved for another five years, putting no restraints on what will be done by the NSA's new facility set to open in September, 2013
"In the technotronic society the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within the reach of magnetic and attractive personalities effectively exploiting the latest communications techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason." (Fox CNN and Facebook?) - Social media and the control exercised by effectively privatizing free speech. The recent Facebook shutdown of political dissidents only hints at how this aggregation mechanism can become a tool of government suppression.
"Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites ... [Whose] ties cut across national boundaries ...It is likely that before long the social elites of most of the more advanced countries will be highly internationalist or globalist in spirit and outlook ... The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty... Further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position." - Precisely what is sought after in Challenges to Global Governance 2013, as outlined above.
Interesting on page 57 "By the year 2018, technology will make available to the leaders of the major nations, a variety of techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised. One nation may attack a competitor covertly by bacteriological means, thoroughly weakening the population (though with a minimum of fatalities) before taking over with its own armed forces. Alternatively, techniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm..." (Has the world already gone way beyond this?) -- Yes it has: the "bare minimum of security forces" can be seen in drone warfare. One only needs to look at the battlefield of 2017, as created by General Atomic's next generation of Predator C Avenger designed specifically to reduce human numbers. Oh, and it will use a "death ray" -- also referred to on page 57. Weather modification and its use in warfare is explicitly covered in the 1996 Air Force report: Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather by 2025.

WILLIAMS MOUNTAIN – Boone County Sheriff's Deputies made an arrest overnight in the attempted murder of a local man.
Dale Edward Lowther, Jr., 33, of Van, was arrested and charged with attempted murder, according to Boone County Chief Deputy Chad Barker.
The victim, Gary Hubbard, also from the Van area, was shot multiple times in the back with a .22 caliber firearm around 9:30 p.m. Thursday night. Police say he was driving along County Route 5 in the Williams Mountain area.
Officers originally responded to reports of the shooting as well as a man who had been run over by a vehicle.
"Lowther claimed he had been struck multiple times by a vehicle driven by Hubbard prior to the shooting," Barker said. "Deputies were able to determine the reports of Lowther being struck by the vehicle to be untrue."
Barker said that investigators believe the false report was either an attempt to justify the shooting or to evade capture by law enforcement.
"The number of rounds fired appears to be approximately 10," Barker added.
Lowther was arraigned Friday morning in front of Boone County Magistrate Porter Snodgrass and bail was set at $200,000 property only.
Attempted murder carries a possible sentence of 3 to 15 years in prison.
Hubbard is still hospitalized in critical condition with life threatening injuries, according to Barker.

BELTON (November 28, 2012) -- So they meet again.
For the eighth time in the last eight years UMHB will play Wesley College. In the last two years the Wolverines have knocked the Cru out in the NCAA Quarterfinals.
"They beat us the past two years and we're going to try and attack early and often to get the win," said UMHB receiver Geoff Myles. "We know what they're gonna do, they know what we're gonna do. So it's going to be a tough game."
UMHB beat wesley earlier this season in Dover, Del. A win that's given the Cru confidence, and a loss Wesley is using for motivation.
"Beating them in the playoffs would be a lot better than beating them just in the regular season," said UMHB defensive back Brodrick Crain. "That did help out confidence a lot."
"This is a redemption game. This is the only team we lost to all year," said Wesley defensive back Mike Brandenburg. "And, we're looking forward to getting another chance to prove ourselves this Saturday."
Saturday is what matters for both schools. It's a matchup everyone has seen before, UMHB vs Wesley in a national quarterfinal.
"Our guys, they understand, they understand what's at stake. You know, this is the same boat we were in last year," said Wesley head coach Mike Drass. "UMHB was 12 and 0 last year and we had to go down there and win. We're in the same boat. That's not an easy chore."
"This is the kind of game you do all this for," said UMHB head coach Pete Fredenburg. "This is why you're in the business, why you sacrifice and do all the hard work you've done all year long to get into ball games like this. This is fun."

I think most of the people who say they use a lot don't even know how much they actually use..
Poll: How Much iPhone Data Are You Using?
In light of AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega saying iPhone users user more data than any other smartphone user, indeed that iPhone users "crowd out" other users, and that they may have to "manage" iPhone data, TiPb reader Louie asked if we'd run a poll to find out just what the numbers looked like.
We've asked this before, though not in poll form, and while reader polls are by no means scientific, they are fun, so here it is! How much iPhone data are you using each month?
(If you're not sure how much data you're using, check your bill for an exact amount, or go to Settings > Usage on your iPhone for a rough idea)

Poll: How Much iPhone Data Are You Using?
I have wi-fi access at work and home so I use little 3g data (avg. under 10MB per month). Without wi-fi I'm sure my numbers would be much higher.
I use around 100mb each month. The only time I have a 3g signal is on my 45 minute commute. Since my brother in law rides to work with me I don't use my iPhone for data during my commute. My edge signal at home and work is spotty at best. So, my data is wifi. I wish AT&T would expand the 3g signal around Knoxville,TN or release the 3g microcell in this area.
I travel A LOT for work. I'm usually not at my HOST computer so I when I download my podcast with RSS Player aka Podcaster there in no 10MB cap so it gets pretty crazy
I really do not know how much data I use. I just know that we paid $150.00 +tx for two iPhones, $50.00 for data, $60.00 for anytime minutes, $30.00 for unlin. texts.
ATT have lost there mind, they are just try to get more money out of us.
They do not want to give anything, to get the free call on any network. You have to has 1400 anytime minutes on a family package. If you gave 1400 anytime minutes. If you have 1400 anytime min. why would you need free network on any network. ATT do anything to ge more money out of us.
I do no care how much data I'm using, my data plan is UNLIN. I'm going to use it like it not a tomorrow.
I don't get it. the hightest I've ever been was maybe 500mb and that is when I was jailbroken and using 3G Unrestrictor to stream sling over 3g. I want the ability to sling over 3g but really i hadn't plan on using it all that much.
The higest I've ever been on my laptop connect was a gig and I stream sling over that too occasionally. I don't see how you can use over 5gb a month on an iphone or laptop connect unless you stream 24/7.
Ironically, I often used 2-3 TIMES as much data on my old Tréo 650 and 680 than I have with my iPhones -- based on actual reported data usage on billing statements. The reason? Mostly WiFi, I think. Second, no background apps and lack of true push IMAP client support -- ChatterMail was my buddy on Tréo!
I don't know what new hell AT&Tis brewing in the death star, but I suspect my data usage won't be nearly high enough to trigger it. And I suspect that the vast majority f us won't be either. Just a lot of FUD as a scapegoat for a poorly operating data network, if you ask me.
The presentation from AT&T never defined what constituted high usage. I travel regularly and have a data card as well as an iPhone. I use WiFi when at home or at a Starbucks. With that, it averages 200Mb on the iPhone and never more than 1.5Gb on the data card. I have four E-Mail accounts on the iPhone also.
Like some other posters it is hard for me to understand how usage could be higher.
For those who say they don't know how much they use, it is broken by phone number in summary and detail form on your bill.
I rarely go over 100 MB, but it's not from a lack of trying. When I was using my E71 I streamed a lot of shoutcast and last.fm, and even on edge fulltime it ended up being more than it is now because I could run those apps in the background and also I didn't have to worry about battery as much due to the fact that the E71 I was using had a bottomless pit for a battery. The iPhone 3GS, not so much.
400 megs tops for me. I tend to stick to Wi-Fi for data at home, but refuse to use Wi-Fi at work. They have too many filters.
Yeah after these posts I checked my data for last month and I used 10GB of data... Now the only thing I use heavily is Simplify Media app to stream my music. No teathering or sling on 3G, but I do stream 256 bit rate music all day...kinda scary because I am not cheating the system. I am using, in my opinion, a simple program. I guess I fall in the 2% of abusers. Sorry Nashville, TN people
When I used a blackberry storm I averaged 300-400mb a month and most of that was from using Slacker. Now that I own an iphone I use 600-700mb a month. That's using slacker less (I use the ipod part of the phone more) and wifi when I'm at home.
The iphone is just that much more web friendly.
I usually use my iPhone just for basic calling, taking, pictures and occassional facebook and twitter. I use mostly wifi for other online tasks
People who put over 1GB and even higher, what do you do? My average is 300MB a month. I stream stuff over 3G with pocket tunes radio all the time and my friends say I use it too much when we are hanging. I use Google Maps to navigate for friends when riding shot gun. But I've only gotten to 500MB one time. How can you possibly use that much data?
I don't tether...I had 10GB unless I am reading it wrong
which is very possible
I am at my limit as to what I will pay to use the iPhone. The data plans are ridiculously high with AT&T. I expect that for the price I am paying, I should be able to use my iPhone without feeling guilty.
BTW, I average less than 20MG on my phone, mostly because we DON'T even have 3G in my area. I use wi-fi almost exclusively. AT&T has not delivered premium service for the premium price I am paying. Aside from the few calls I make and the texts I send, what are they giving to someone like me, who works the iPhone more like a Touch?
I don't have tethering but I do use 5-10 Gb a month. Every month on the tenth day I rest the statistics. I started three months ago to see how much data I use. So yeah I use about 5-8 Gb (only one it was 10 Gb). Why is use so much? Internet. I don't have Internet at home so I use my mini mac... Ahem, iPhone to surf the Internet.
Just checked my bill, I used 166.38MB last month, my brother used 717.26MB and my mother used 100.84MB. So about 1gig between 3 people.
The most I've ever used was ~3gb and that was when I was in Miami with no WiFi in sight. I had to get the Fringe episodes I missed. I've even tethered for 3 weeks straight and have not gone over 2gb. But my average is under 500mb and prob wouldn't even be that high if I didn't use Orb and an RDP client. I definitely believe people consume a huge amount of data but the % is small. I pay for an unlimited plan so I wouldn't mind AT&T giving me a 2gb cap for $10 less but you know what will happen. My current "unlimited" plan will be capped and I'll have to pay an extra $10 for the "seriously unlimited" plan or an extra $20 for the "I swear we won't charge you with overages unlimited" plan. At the end of the day, AT&T is just a company trying to turn a profit and I will not hate on them for being true to what they are.
@Icebike I agree it would be hard to go through that much data on a stock iPhone. But, you can go through 5gigs of data in your sleep if your jailbroken with Safari Download Manager, Torrentula, 3G Unrestrictor, and Backgrounder.
One of my friends is a bandwidth hog and he runs Torrentula in the background. ~1GB movies are easily downloaded when your not sitting there staring at them. Plus he downloads huge sized App Store apps like Tiger Woods and Navigon over 3G using Unrestrictor. A couple months ago he hit 5GB in 2 weeks.
last i checked this is the only smart phone on att that renders full web pages, which does not use mobile so you do use more data then every other smart phone on the network.
this the reason why then dont want to bring another webkit browser phone on the market and rejecting an android device?
For $100 bucks a month I'll do whatever I want and use however much I want. Don't like it kick me off or lower the frigging price.

Spelling is important :-)
At&t is upset over the fact that iPhone does not streamline the web Internet like every other device on there network.
So take for example tipb.com. On everyother device this site might be 90k. On the iPhone it will poll down 1 Meg.
Since the browser on an iPhone is actually usable to do stuff. iPhone owners actually use the Internet unlike other smart phones which are used as a last resort.
I can see why at&t is crying. The don't want to change from low bandwith phones on there network to better more richer experiance on the phone. Which devices like iPhone, android. And the new nokia n900 bring to the market
I think tiered data pricing isn't a bad thing. Based on the poll, it seems like there's a lot of people who would benefit from lower prices for a lower cap, something like $15 for 250MB, $25 for 1GB and $35 for under 3GB and $45 for 3+GB. This is assuming that AT&T is fine with the revenue they are getting and would just redistribute it among their customers by charging people based upon usage. Also, the higher prices would incentivize the really high usage people to reduce their data usage to a not so ridiculous amount.
Of course, the worry is that AT&T will keep prices the same and then charge the high users more, which just brings in more revenue for them, but doesn't really benefit customers.
If bandwidth is scarce, incentivize the use properly and also use the revenue to improve the bandwidth.
So in the examples you've cited, the TOS was already broken by your "friend". The way I see it, he has no cause for complaint. He IS the problem.
You've provided one more nugget of evidence for my pet theory that it is impossible to pull 5Gig per month AND honor your end of the contract.
I thought my usage would be massive. I surf the interwebs constantly at work since I have no Internet connection at work. I also use it quite a bit when driving since I always have maps up, which constantly needs reloading. But upon looking at my bill I find that I'm just slightly above 1GB/month.
So I ask... how on god's green earth are there people using 5 times that much? Have you found some way to use a torrent on the iPhone or something? Crazy.
I'd prefer to see that top tier MUCH MUCH more punitive.
4 Gig = $100. 6 Gig = $200.
I'm not worried about ATT losing money trying to build towers to accommodate these bandwidth hogs.
The idea isn't to recover more money from these hogs. The idea is to make it too expensive for them to continue abusing a common resource.
Its the Tragedy of the Commons all over again.
AT&T is not going to lower prices for those with light usage! You're dreaming. The might raisenprices for heavy users like me, but you guys will still be stuck paying what you pay, because you're already paying it!!
Btw I don't teather and I'll be at around 5 gb. I use maps constantly (just moved to NYC). I watch video sometimes on NBC.com. I use the Internet whenever on a break from work or on the bus. It's mostly Internet use!
I am on the road a lot. staying in hotels 3 or 4 nights a week sometimes i have wi-fi sometimes I don't. I used 1.986 GB last month (per my statement). I listen to pandora, wunder radio, slacker, stream podcasts, listen to MLB, watch MLB.tv games, Youtube, other ahem video sites. My phone is not jailbroken, I just use a lot of data, my bill cycle breaks at the 28th of the month, and according to the att usage app I'm at 792 MB for this month.
I hope they don't alter the plans, I'm not overly happy with AT&T as a whole, but I love my iPhone, and as long as they keep it the way it is, I'll be content, but if they crap it up, I'll probably just go back to Verizon where you can actually make phone calls when you want.
I think some people are for tier pricing because if I know I use a service less than 1/10 the amount that other people do then I should save some money. Why should I pay the same $30/month if I use 300 MB per month as someone who uses 3 GB per month? I would be fine with a 1GB cap or something like that if it would mean that I could save $10/month.
with fiber backbones, etc our data usage is what 1% traffic?
Its nothing to do with the backbones.
This is a last-mile problem. From the tower to you is where things are getting saturated.
And you are correct, the US pays some of the highest Cell bills in the world.
We have no government subsidy, no government mandated Cell tower site availability, and No Government run Telco, and no mandatory roaming policy, and absurd roaming rates charged by one carriers other other carrier.
We are often compared to little countries like France and Britian, or heavily subsidized countries like Canada and Brazil, where some or all of these things exist.
A better comparison might be Australia or Russia, but those countries don't have our cell coverage areas, or our customer loading.
Still our prices are way too high. Not the least of our problem is the ridiculous license fees for bandwidth paid to the government, and the fees demanded by state and local governments to put up a cell tower.
Our carriers aren't exactly getting rich either. Some are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. We are still building out our systems. Some times rebuild for the third time. Whereas small countries have every square inch within range of three towers, there are still places in the US where there is no cell signal.
Its a bit of a mess. And its gotten totally out of hand.
But it is what it is, and its not getting fixed any time soon.
I would love someone who is claiming over 5GB per month to explain to me how that is even possible, especially if you are doing that without jailbreaking. I don't even see how there is enough time in the day to put up those kind of numbers. Are you turning Pandora on and just leaving the iPhone plugging in to play 24/7 for the month?? The reason AT&T's data rates are so high is because they have to beef up the network to account for all of these ridiculous power users. They are the ones who should be paying more per month. I'd gladly take a rate cut for a 2GB cap because I would rarely even approach that mark!
Abusing a common resource?!?! WTF that's a bit extreame
There is only so much bandwidth available. We all need to share it. You simply can not put up a new cell tower at will.
I don't believe it to be extreme at all.
This same problem has bedeviled dial-up, and cable modem systems. When .5% of users use 98% of resources, its abusive no matter how you slice it.
dialup never had a shared connection it was modem to modem, cable is the only thing affected by shared resources but then again its also bs. since the backbone is 10-100x faster then the speed offered to the house or subscriber.
instead of infrastructures expanding they are just funneling end users.
but then again you get what you paid for. for 25 bux 10 meg connections are kinda of funny, then compete with prices of like t1 where there is no usage limits and priced at 400 a month.
I just checked AT&T's site and I've used up 2799.99mb with 1 more day on my cycle. If AT&T is crying about iPhones clogging their beloved network, instead of capping data, how about you allow other networks carry it? Either share the iPhone user load, or strengthen the network
I from different country, but a live and work in USA . In my shop i don't have WIFI ,after i read att statement they can handle so much data. I checked how much data do i use? That was 7.5 gb , i did read all articles on this page, most of people don't using that much of data like me, and they couldn't understand how you may use so much of data? Like i told already ,I'm from overseas , and i was officially loaded app. trough app store, that is radio streaming application ,and of course i listen all day radio i liked. Why AT&T being so smart was not able to figure-out, some people may use more then other? It is like go to the store , and buy something ,then after you walk out the door ,and manager of the store will chase you when you already paid full price, say to you "we change our mind you should pay more money, hmmmm, I agree we should use less! But.... AT&T , should think twice before give away unl.data,The are huge Corp and of course they have a lot of people with brain!, maybe not?
Why are people complaining about the price they pay for the unlimited data. " 30$ is way to high". What's 30$? Sure it's large when compared to a two year span or even a one year span but honelty if 30$ extra is pushin your wallet then let's face it a cellphone bill in general is pushing your wallet. Stop the blood clot cryin. My iPhone 3g s works great in CO. The edge on this thing is as fast as the 3g on the iPhone 3g. I'm pushin 600mb a month nothing crazy if they put a cap I would welcome a price drop but I'm not going to sit here and complain about te extra 30$ that is the treason my wallet is slim. Let's be real. Way to many people put there wallets higher then they can reach.
If you've got Spotify it's easy to get the high amounts of data. If you're jailbroken with Freeflix installed then that makes it even easier. I'm on o2 and I download my bill every month. The iPhone has my data usage as slightly lower than o2 does. I've used about 4gig this month and my bill starts on the 19th of each month.

Hi guys tell me what you think, for realwww.appscircuit.com/20088
I have a 500MB plan so unfortunately that's all I can use a month which bites because I love listening to music on the go with the 3G network like when I'm driving but streaming audio takes up SO much data and too much of my plan for me to use it on 3G. Streaming music uses 1MB per minute so for a 500MB plan that's no more than 15 minutes of music a day and that's if you didn't use the iPhone for anything else. If I don't stream music or video 500MB is enough for all other uses for the phone (surfing, email, Facebook, little YouTube etc).

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Bostontownie ....DECEPTIVE.... I think the biggest deceptions r the pics....the sweater looks like its styled to b oversized, fall off shoulder naturally, and certainly dsnt give any "cropped" expectation. This is shown thru-out all the reviews....i got the strawbry, sz s.... however....Much to my surprise it was tight in the sleeves and shorter than i wanted. Even tho the description says the length is 21"....the models must b wearin a med or even a large. Im 5'2", 115, petite....and the small was short (nt cropped). I exchanged for a med, fits better...bit oversized, still shortish, falls off shouldr naturally. Overall...if u want a short, tightly sleeved sweater, get ur sz or sz down. If nt, sz up. FP really nds to start displaying factual pics....no deception...or pleeeeeeeeeease FP tell us wat sz the model is wearing....... 4.20.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Thc13 Needs some work and effort to make it look okay I bought this sweater in the mocha colour, and the colour is pretty much as pictured. I sized up from my usual size xs to a small, based on other reviews. I'm 5'7.5", 103 lbs, 32B, 25" waist, 30" hip bones, 35" hips. I had a few problems with this sweater: the sleeves were too short and the length was too short and boxy to look remotely flattering. I was going to keep it anyway though because returns cost me 20$. After washing it though, I decided to try stretching the material while it was still wet and drying on a flat surface. I (gently but forcefully) pulled the sleeves, as well as the bottom of the sweater, and low and behold, the material stretched a good 7 or so inches. The bonus to making the sleeves and sweater longer is that it also makes it less boxy (the length increases and the width decreases). One thing to keep in mind when doing this technique is that you really want to go back and stretch the fabric some more every 30 mins to an hour as it dries so that it doesn't shrink back into its original state. I stretched my sweater about 3-4 times every 30-60 mins and then went to bed, so my sweater shrank back a little by morning, but not all the way. My pictures show how the sweater looked that morning, after some stretching. It originally (before the stretching) looked just like the sweater on the white brunette modelling the mocha and green sweaters in the studio pics (so the bottom of the sweater reached the top of my bum, and the sleeves were an inch shorted than they are now), and now the sweater looks more like the asian model in the golden sweater (mine now covers 2/3 of my bum as seen in my first pic, and the sleeves hit the bottom of my wrist). Next time I wash it, I will stretch the sleeves and sweater even more. They look great with this season's cords in pink! As a side note, I have also used this stretching technique on a few other FP sweaters/pullovers, and it works well for me! 1.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by annie61 Great off-the-shoulder piece Great sweater in the mocha color, which is almost a purplish-brown and black combo, hard to tell online. It's cropped but not drastically and looks great off the shoulder. Almost bought the ice combo color, but it didn't seem unique enough? I'm 5'4", 115lbs, small busted and bought a small to wear off the shoulder. The medium would've worked, too, but the XS wasn't drapey for the look i wanted. 11.22.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Freepplgrl Deceiving Photo-Look at close up instead I bought this sweater after seeing it irl at the store. It is a bit deceiving in the catalog/web photo as it looks like a uniform shade of pale pink, but it is actually a marled mix of cream/rose threads. The close-up photo of the sweater is more accurate than the catalog photo. On me, the sweater is not too cropped as other reviewers stated. I am 5'6" and it is about hip length on me. I bought my usual size small as the medium I tried on was way too oversized and slouchy. I imagine that it would be cropped on girls with longer torsos though. I would say to get your usual size for just the right amount of slouchiness. Overall, the sweater is a bit overpriced for what it is (hence the 4 stars), but I know I'll wear it a lot this spring. It has that effortless I-just-threw-this-on vibe to it that will make getting dressed less time consuming. 4.23.2011
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Deeeeeiiiiiii Much shorter, in length! The top is actually much, much shorter than it looks in the photos. I'm 5'4" and it hits right at my belly button. It's a crop top, for sure. 4.18.2011
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Leeeah I really wanted to like this I got this in the Stawberry combo and was a little disappointed with the fit. It is much shorter than it looks on the model. On me, it just looked frumpy, and didn't drape as nicely as I would have liked. The color isn't a solid washed out pink, but off white with rose threads intertwined, and overall the contrast of rose/white was too high to create a pink wash. Also, the bottom curled up and did not lay flat. Sadly, I do not feel it is worth the price and I will be returning it. :( 4.10.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Shellibean Love This Comfy Sweater! I got this sweater in the Mocha and Golden Marl. It is soft, slouchy and so comfortable. I ended up getting a large for more length and so the neck line would hang to the side more. If it stretches out a little, I put it in the dryer for 2 minutes (no more) to get the shape back. Looks great with a low slung belt too. So happy there are more colors to buy! 7.9.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Shaberry Ahdorable And Breezy. I got the Ice, and its so simple but fun!. You can dress it casually with just a pair of jeans and some flats. Or Have a cute high waist skirt peeking out underneath. You do have to watch catching it on something though, it will start to unravel... Its great for a breezy summer night! I love wearing it with one shoulder showing! 4.7.2012

BankChoice Monitor™
BankChoice Monitor (BCM)™ is the only resource that continuously monitors what bank shoppers want, who they choose and why. Prior to BCM, banks were forced to rely on traditional market research for insights about people shopping for bank products. But traditional research data are almost always out of date, lacks depth because of small sample sizes, and most importantly, the survey respondents aren't actually shopping for bank products when they're being surveyed. BCM provides you detailed insights gathered from more than 50,000 active bank shoppers every month, while they are actually thinking about, and shopping for a bank.

CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS — Sunday's Super Bowl may be sadly lacking a Gronk, a Brady or a Belichick, but Central Massachusetts residents will still gather Sunday to watch Super Bowl XLVII. And that means local liquor stores will have their shelves stocked.
"It's one of those things that's an event in of itself," said Ryan Maloney, owner of Julio's Liquors in Westborough. "Everybody's having a party. People are into watching, and if they're not into watching they're into eating."
Maloney said that sales will likely increase this year on all types of liquor, though they may not be as big as last year, when New England went up against the Giants.
Maloney asked that Super Bowl revelers drink responsibly, and not to drink and drive.
In South Grafton, Valley Plaza Liquors owner Steven Collette said not having the Patriots playing may hurt sales slightly, but overall, it will be a pretty good weekend.
He said the big seller this year is a mixed drink called twisted shots--small shot glass divided in half with liquor on one side and mix on the other. Other big sellers are snakebite--a mix of lager and cider--and the ever-popular sex on the beach.
At Upton Colonial Liquors in Upton, spirits such as bourbon and rye are the big sellers again, according to manager Fred Gorham. He personally recommends a nice bottle of red wine to watch the Super Bowl.
He said the flavored vodkas continue to sell well this year.
"This is Upton, so we always sell the basics: Budweiser, Bud Light, especially in the 30 packs. If someone wants to spend a little more, they will buy Sam Adams," Gorham said. "We sell more liquor when the Patriots play in the Super Bowl. There are more parties with people who otherwise would not be interested if the Pats are not playing. We'll do OK on Super Bowl this year, but not a massive amount of business."
Wegman's spokesperson Jo Natale said last year's game was one of the biggest "holidays" for the store, especially for the liquor department at the Northborough location.
This will be the Northborough Wegman's second Super Bowl, and the first without the Pats competing.
"It will be interesting to see how that will impact Northborough over last year," Natale said.

District official: Arming principals poor idea
PHOENIX -- One Tempe school district is balking at Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne's idea that at least one school employee should carry a gun to protect against a shooting on campus.
Kyrene schools assistant superintendent Gina Taylor said the district isn't thrilled with a principal, teacher or any other school worker carrying a gun.
"We aren't extremely comfortable with the notion of other staff being armed because of the training that's required in order to do that effectively," she said, adding that having an armed school resource officer (SRO) who has extensive gun training is a better idea.
SROs are nothing new in the Kyrene School District.
"We've had and have three school resources now, and have had them on our campuses for years," said Taylor, who is the district's crisis team leader.
Taylor said the district has started a new security policy at schools since the Connecticut school shootings.
"We, in the past, have always had visitors sign in to be on our campuses and we've given them visitor's badges," she said. "What we're now requiring is that they present a photo ID and exchange that for their visitor's badge, which requires them to come back through the office [to get their ID] as they leave the campus."
Taylor said that, while the new system won't prevent something like a mass shooting, it will help the schools keep better track of who is on school property and why they are there.
Kyrene District spokeswoman Nancy Dudenhoefer believes guns aren't the only thing that people should be talking about when it comes to school security.
"It very much concerns me that everyone is talking about guns, and no one is talking about mental illness," she said. "I do believe that we, as schools, have provided, obviously, some sort of support in that area because the children who are doing these crimes are the ones who are out of the school system. I want to know why no one is touching that story?"

Prodigals are still sons....even though their relationship with their Father may be good as dead...for a time... the prodigal 'severs' relationship with Father...in the pursuit of something else. Simple 'want' will bring him to his senses. There's a big 'hole' in Adam.......that can only truly be filled by God. Most don't realize what that 'emptiness' inside them is.... they try and fill it in all manner of ways. I know I did...but others things just don't quite do it...and you are left 'empty" and wanting.
He believed in God. He was a Christian Universalist. Over the years, he was a speaker in a local congregation of believers. He was a gifted teacher, helping lead others to belief upon Jesus as Savior.Over time he began to develop beliefs that denied some of the essentials of the faith; the virgin birth, the necessity of the blood of Jesus to save. He stopped praying, stopped reading His Bible, and eventually stated he no longer believed in God. He began to mock Christians, insult them, make crude statements and disparaging comments about God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. In short, he has become a persecutor of the brethren and a blasphemer.What do you make of this man? How do you feel about a situation such as this? Does it affect your own faith one way or another? What does God think of this man? How does He view him? How does He deal with him, and how will He deal with him? So what happens to this man?

Men's/Women's Entries in PDF Format
6,000 meter course map in PDF Format
8,000 meter course map in PDF Format
Cal State Northridge cross country is set to host the Northridge Invitational for the second consecutive season this Saturday, Oct. 16 at Woodley Park in Van Nuys. 101 runners will challenge the women's 6k course and 85 men will take on the 8k.
The Northridge Invitational will take place at the Wildlife/Cricket/Japanese Garden area of Balboa Park/Sepulveda Basin which is located east of Woodley Ave., between Burbank and Victory Blvd., just west of the 405 fwy. The course starts on the northwest side of the cricket field located north of the entrance road. The Invitational is just the second cross country meet hosted by Cal State Northridge in 23 years.
"It's going be an unbelievable spectator course because of the number of loops," said Matador head coach Don Strametz. "Fans will be able to see virtually 75-80% of the race which you're not normally able to see in cross country races. The quality of the field is very good this year with quite a few Big West schools."
Two women's 6,000-meter race is scheduled for 7:45 a.m. and the men's 8,000-meter race will start at approximately 8:15 a.m. Spectators are encouraged to park in Lots 1 or 3, teams will park in Lot 2.
186 runners are scheduled to compete on Saturday with teams from Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Los Angeles, Glendale College, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, USC and Westmont College scheduled to compete.
The host Matadors will field a squad of 22 runners (11 men, 11 women). Northridge senior Lilyana Morejon finished second in a time of 17:24.62 at last years women's 5k which was shortened due to heat in the San Fernando Valley.
"It will be interesting to see how we respond because we haven't raced since Stanford (Sept. 25), but we're looking forward to a great event," added Strametz.

BlackBerry files suit against Ryan Seacrest startup Typo over iPhone keyboard accessory
Typo, a company founded by entrepreneur Laurence Hallier and TV host and media personality Ryan Seacrest, announced the Typo Keyboard attachment for iPhone would be available for pre-order this month but they seem to of have run into some trouble with BlackBerry's legal team. BlackBerry has now filed a lawsuit against Typo Products LLC asserting that the company has blatantly copied BlackBerry's keyboard with its iPhone keyboard case.
This is a blatant infringement against BlackBerry's iconic keyboard, and we will vigorously protect our intellectual property against any company that attempts to copy our unique design. From the beginning, BlackBerry has always focused on offering an exceptional typing experience that combines a great design with ergonomic excellence. We are flattered by the desire to graft our keyboard onto other smartphones, but we will not tolerate such activity without fair compensation for using our intellectual property and our technological innovations
That according to Steve Zipperstein, BlackBerry's General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer. Much like how Steve Jobs boasted about having plenty of patents for the iPhone, BlackBerry has plenty for their iconic keyboard and does have a bit of history putting them to use. We'll obviously have to wait and see the outcome of this one but there's certainly some visual similarities there.

BlackBerry files suit against Ryan Seacrest startup Typo over iPhone keyboard accessory
Usually these "Hey, you did something that looks kinda like something we did" suits drive me crazy, but in this case, the very first thought I had upon seeing the case was "Wow, a BB Bold keyboard on an iPhone." Hard to complain about this one.
But then, I had the exact same thought about the Motorola Droid Pro a few years ago, and I don't remember any legal action against Moto at that point.
Motorola already had longstanding agreements with them over a ton of things after they sued each other lol. They came to an agreement that BlackBerry (RIM at the time) could use Motorola patents and Motorola could use BlackBerry patents.
Oh come on.... BlackBerry, you're better than this. Suing because you can't make it isn't the answer.
Well, I don't have any personal BlackBerry experience, but to me it looks like the keyboard to the palm Prē to me.
While I don't think this is quite the same as the Apple/Samsung suits, it seems close, so can't fault BlackBerry for trying. I think the differences between this case and the Apple/Samsung case will be what allows this to go forward.
The differences? BlackBerry hasn't/isn't going after all phones with keyboards, and this is an accessory, which is not the same as what BlackBerry offers. If they really feel strongly, they would need to go after every keyboard accessory for all mobile devices, no?

No - the merits of any particular patent aside, patent holders are not required to go after everybody to obtain relief from a particular infringement.
Sent from the iMore App
Have you actually seen a pre keyboard? It looks nothing like this product
Wonder if they did legal research on the product before making it? Some of these suits are getting crazy. Yes BB has a right to protect it's products, patents, but will they pay more to the legal team, than it is worth it. The bottom line is will they win, and if not how much will it cost? They really need to be more concerned about building the company back up, and making money, not spending it on something like this.
Luckily for Seacrest, the final decision doesn't come down to the judges. America gets to vote. Text "One" for BB or "Two" for TYPO. Tune in tomorrow for the results show. 57 minutes of fluff and and 3 minutes of what you've been watching the entire hour for, covered by ending credits.
I thought it was a pretty slick accessory, perhaps cause I loved my BB keyboards. First thing I noticed however, is the shape of the keys (thats important) and the separation bar between keys is a direct copy. Actually, almost pre-ordered one. Wonder if they will ship before the injunction.
Appears to be the inspiration.
Sent from the iMore App
This product would have failed anyway. Apple offers no hooks to turn off the on screen keyboard meaning every input box will have the onscreen keyboard.
Well after watching the video it seems that the on-screen keyboard doesn't show with the accessory connected.
Also, I do think that it is a blatant copy, BlackBerry haven't said they are going to stop the product launching it does sound like they want to have an agreement with them so that they can profit from this as well.
Personally, I have adapted to using an on-screen keyboard but i do know that this will appeal to some other people.
Someone who wants to look cool but not clever enough to use a virtual keybord, iphone is made for someone who is capable to use it, if you cant, just dont use it.
