2010 Valencian GP MotoGP Infographic
Comments Off on 2010 Valencian GP MotoGP Infographic
Superbike fans should rejoice to the news that Kawasaki has an all-new ZX-10R in the works for the upcoming model year. The news comes from Germany's reliable Speedweek publication, which interviewed Guim Roda, the Team Manager of Kawasaki's World Superbike racing effort. Talking to Speedwekk, Roda said "we will have a new Kawasaki ZX-10R in 2016. The concept will be the same but, with some details and changes, it will be even more competitive. Given that the current rules are very restricted, the motorbikes have to be developed with an eye on the sport. We are heading on a path that Aprilia, Ducati and BMW have already taken for this year by bringing out new bikes."
Bad news continues from the Bonneville Salt Flats, as the SCTA has officially cancelled its upcoming Speed Week event — an event that was cancelled last year as well. As we reported earlier, Speed Week was put into serious doubt because of the conditions of the salt flats, which were shown to have a thin salt layer and wet/muddy conditions that made the historic site unsuitable for land speed racing. Spending Tuesday morning at Bonneville looking for a suitable stretch of salt for a 2.25-mile course, SCTA President/Race Director Bill Lattin & the BNI Chairman Roy Creel deemed the conditions unsafe for a race course, and thus dashed any hopes of the event being salvaged.
If you believe everything you read on the internet, then surely you know that Ducati is allegedly getting ready to release a Panigale-based Streetfighter in the next few months. Another potent rumor making the rounds is that Ducati is working on a totally new v-twin engine, which will meet Euro 4 emission standards. The first rumor got its start from Visordown, which says that it has received an invitation for press launch in September that will consist of "a track test for a road bike." The second rumor comes from Moto-Station, with the French site getting word from a source that Ducati has an all-new Euro 4 compliant engine that it will debut at EICMA this November. They go on to speculate that the engine could have Ducati Variable Timing (DVT), and would fit a sport-touring bike.
Husqvarna is getting ready to unleash a 690cc supermoto on the world, in case you've missed the Swedish brand's marketing campaign and dedicated website. Unsurprisingly, the bike is based off a comparable KTM model, though that's not to say the folks at Husky haven't improved on the KTM 690 Duke for their purposes. (Re-)Releasing some tech details this week, we again know that the Husqvarna 701 will feature a ride-by-wire throttle (with three engine maps), slipper clutch (because supermoto), premium WP suspension, and what Husqvarna calls "Supermoto ABS" that is really the Bosch 9.1 MP race ABS, which allows one to still lock-up the rear wheel while the front wheel engages the ABS.
The Forward Racing team faces an uncertain future. On his return from the German round of MotoGP at the Sachsenring, Forward Racing boss Giovanni Cuzari was arrested by the Swiss authorities on charges of suspected corruption of a public official, and money laundering through sponsorship activities. Cuzari remains under arrest, and is expected to face a hearing on Friday or Saturday. That hearing will determine whether Cuzari will be released, or will have to remain under arrest while the investigation continues. At the heart of the case are allegations that the head of the Ticino tax inspectorate, Libero Galli, accepted bribes in return for special treatment by the Swiss tax authorities. Libero is charged with abuse of authority, passive corruption and improper application of fiscal regulations.
We have mentioned already that MV Agusta is getting ready to make an all-new F4 superbike, and from which a new liter-displacement Brutale as well. Today, we get the first official word of these new machines, as Giovanni Castiglioni confirmed the new models at the company's "Friends of Claudio" yearly gathering. For bonus points, Castiglioni also mentioned that a third "crossover" model would be coming from the Italian brand, making for three all-new 1,000cc models from MV Agusta for 2016. This announcement should be welcomed news for Italian motorcycle fans, as MV Agusta's four-cylinder offerings have certainly stagnated, while its three-cylinder models have gotten all the attention from the press and riding public.
What American child of the 1980's didn't dream of going to NASA's Space Camp? Maybe my dorky self is alone on this one, but as a kid, I always wanted to go to the Kennedy Space Center, get spun around in an Aerotrim, and shoot-off rockets. But, I'm too old to go to Space Camp now (sad trombone), not to mention they closed the USSC in 2002 (double sad trombone), and now I'm also too old to go to the next best thing: Ducati's Summer School Fisica in Moto. The concept is exactly what you think it is, high school level students learning all about science via motorcycles. For five days, the 25 selected students will enjoy classes with names like "Desmodromic distribution applied to the Panigale 1299 R engine cylinder head" — there's even a business class taught by Claudio Domenicali himself.
Conditions at the Bonneville Salt Flats continue to deteriorate with each passing year, and 2015 is no different. Testing for the upcoming Speed Week, put on by the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA), has been cancelled, and the salt conditions for the August 8th event are questionable, at best. Readers will remember that last year's Speed Week was cancelled, after torrential rain flooded the salt flats. This year, the salt layer is so thin that the uneven desert floor is poking through in some spots. Out surveying the salt flats last week, Russ Eyers from the SCTA told the Salt Lake Tribune that he couldn't find a 7-mile stretch of land suitable to land speed racing on the Bonneville Salt Flats, with some portions still underwater and others where the salt is mixed with mud.
Shortly after qualifying for the recent German Grand Prix at Sachsenring, Asphalt & Rubber photographer Tony Goldsmith sat down with Aspar MotoGP Team rider and class rookie Eugene Laverty, to get some insight into how a MotoGP rider prepares for a race.
On race day I also had the opportunity to photograph Eugene in the build up to the race, talk to him about his routine, and discuss the special tribute helmet he was wearing for the late Dr. John Hinds.
With global Ducati sales up 22% in the first six months of the year, it comes with no surprise then that Ducati North America has some sales growth to report as well. Selling 6,961 motorcycles in the first-half of the year, Ducati North America is up 12% over last year's same time period. Helping fuel that increase was an incredibly strong June, where 1,981 motorcycles sold — for a 106% growth over June 2014. "This record is the result of the hard work and dedication of the entire Ducati organization and our network of dealer partners who strive to deliver the most premium motorcycle ownership experience imaginable to our customers," said Dominique Cheraki, CEO of Ducati North America.

Some lawmakers continued to voice concerns about the potential for fraud if someone exploited the state's policy for registering homeless voters. Others questioned if it is even an issue. Secretary of State Elaine Walker told legislators this week she doesn't see any evidence that homeless voters have been used to commit voter fraud and said homeless voters across Kentucky are few.

It was a bad start to 2013 for an eatery on restaurant row in College Station after inspectors with the Brazos County Health Department shut it down on New Year's Eve.
The Atami Steak and Sushi on University Drive was shut down Monday after failing its inspection with a 67.
Inspectors found ten infractions at Atami including no soap in the employee restroom, fruit flies in the prep area, a dirty slicer and knives with buildup on them.
According to inspectors, Atami wasn't preparing sushi correctly and the shut down cost the steak and sushi stop $500 in fees.
Atami reopened New Year's Day hoping for a fresh start to the new year.

Race and Slavery in the Middle East, by Bernard Lewis
Islamic Racism
Race and Slavery in the Middle East.
by Bernard Lewis.
Oxford University Press. 184 pp. $24.95.
Several features combine to make Bernard Lewis an exceptionally distinguished historian of the Middle Eastern world. First of all, he writes a poised and indeed classical prose which is accessible to the general reader. Not too deep below the surface is that fully imagined sense of the human comedy with its ironies and paradoxes, without which history must remain a matter for specialists or cause-mongers. Secondly, familiar with all the major languages and literatures of the Middle East, he knows most of those of Europe too, his references extending into Russian, Polish, and Hungarian. Finally, his sympathies for Turks, Persians, Arabs, and Jews encourage him to tell the truth about them, the bad with the good. In this field, those who prefer reality to myth are few.
In The Emergence of Modern Turkey (1961), Lewis depicted in rich detail the complex process whereby the pre-1914 Ottoman state became Turkey as it is today, without an empire, but the first Muslim country in the Middle East to have held a free election. Modernization, Lewis showed, might be compatible with the preservation of Turkish identity and much else that was valuable in its heritage. But the end results of this modernization would depend on the kind of accommodation that Turkish society could reach with the West.
Two shorter books, The Arabs in History (1950) and The Middle East and the West (1963), brought into focus the comparable accommodations which faced the Arabs. In Muslim, and especially Arab, eyes, Westerners had traditionally been regarded with disdain, as inferior in religion and culture, offering nothing. All of a sudden, so it seemed, these same Westerners thrust into their midst with strange institutions and creativities which were a challenge to customary life, to Arab and Muslim lands, to historic identity itself. By the time Muslims took the measure of this unfolding drama, it was already too late for reforms which might have allowed them to meet the West on equal terms.
Lewis has the empathy to communicate what a shock the West delivered to the foundations of Islamic and Arab civilization. Thoughtful Muslims have analyzed the Western performance in order to establish whether it can be emulated, and if so, how. Others have sought to repudiate it altogether. To many, the departed glory of Islam has furnished a counter-illusion of a pre-Western Golden Age. Caught in a highly volatile welter of painful and contradictory emotions, many Middle Eastern Muslims appear to fluctuate between self-pity and nostalgia, envy, and resentment. Contrasting themselves to Westerners, Arabs and Iranians in particular display little confidence in their identity. Today it remains as unclear as ever what has to be done if the Muslim Middle East and the West are to meet on terms of parity. The difficulty of how to be modern and Arab or Iranian, as an individual or as a society, has yet to be resolved.
The years after 1950, when Lewis was beginning to document these perceptions, were marked by the triumph of Arab nationalism. According to its advocates, that was a doctrine destined to restore the pride in identity which Arabs ought legitimately to feel. No sort of historical process had brought the West into the Arab midst, the nationalists declared, but simple greed. Western efforts to build modern political and social structures and institutions in the Arab world, and to develop resources including the oil fields which were the basis of unprecedented wealth, were to be seen as cunning deceptions to mask exploitation. Two abstract nouns, imperialism and colonialism, reduced everything Western to a personification of evil which had turned the Arabs into innocent victims in all respects. Nationalist leaders like Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser and Algeria's Ahmed Ben Bella promised that the moment Arabs were free from imperialism and colonialism they would meet the West on equal terms. Innocence would reign, the pre-Western Golden Age would return again, this time in the form of democracy with guaranteed rights, and even Arab socialism.
Equal terms, to these leaders, meant no accommodation to the West in general, or to the Jews of Israel in particular. To the departing colonial powers, none of this seemed to make much difference. Handing over power to the nationalists without much resistance (except in Algeria), British and French ruling circles supposed that they would be popular everywhere for it. More importantly, they did not care a fig what would actually happen to Arab populations: if Arabs professed to be victims of the West, they might as well learn what victimization really looked like. In one country after another, Arab nationalist leaders were to cause oppression and death on a scale never experienced in the darkest chapters of colonialism.
From Nasser and Ben Bella down to Saddam Hussein, these men were concerned with what their countries could do for them and their careers, rather than what they could do for their countries. On the one hand, they took from the West arms, aid, styles of social mobilization, the model of the police state. On the other hand, they rejected everything the West actually stood for. In either case, they had no concept of how to reconcile past and present, the religious with the secular, in order to discover how to be both Arab and modern.
Academics and experts in the West who were supposed to know best about the peoples of the Middle East might have been expected to come to the defense of these peoples by exposing the sinister and absolutist pretensions of those who had levered themselves into power by means of nationalism of this type. Instead, the experts presented Arab nationalism as a cause worthy of the support of decent-minded persons everywhere. This was a trahison des clercs comparable to that committed in the previous generation by Communist intellectuals and fellow-travelers.
Nobody could have predicted from the writings of Arnold Toynbee, Sir Hamilton Gibb, Jacques Berque, Elizabeth Monroe, Philip Hitti, Albert Hourani, and innumerable others that independence for the Arabs would prove a protracted nightmare of war and civil war, tyranny and massacre, corruption and waste of resources. Yet the pupils and heirs of those who justified Arab nationalism and sought to establish its myths now dominate universities throughout the English-speaking world, and they publish specialist works and field studies which continue to do Arabs the disservice of distorting reality beyond recognition. From this body of work or special pleading, Arabs appear to be people who are not to be trusted to hear the truth about the violence that their leaders do to them. Arab achievements must be inflated, and their mistakes or misjudgments blamed on others. Condescending in themselves, such apologetics also hold Arabs back from meeting the West on truly equal terms.
In the latter part of his career, Bernard Lewis has been publishing books and monographs which explode one aspect or another of nationalist-inspired myth-making. The necessary task of the historian, he writes in his latest book, is the correction of error, "even of emotionally satisfying and politically useful error." It is a lonely business, though, and requires courage and perseverance. Without scholarship and humanity like Lewis's, it might not have been possible. In fact, Lewis has had no trouble disposing of Arab nationalist critics, because he argues from texts while they exhibit emotions satisfactory to them, and politically useful too.
In common with everybody else, Muslims and Arabs never had a Golden Age; they prospered in certain periods and places, though not in others. Lewis's The Muslim Discovery of Europe (1982) describes how the undoubted greatness of classical Islam also contained complacency as well as the failure of imagination which was to seal the unequal encounter to come. He quotes a valuable and fascinating range of chronicles, letters, diplomatic dispatches, and literary sources to reveal how Arabs, and later Ottomans and Persians, almost unanimously refused to acknowledge whatever did not fit their preconceptions.
Notions of democratic rights, or pluralism, or Arab socialism as a constituent of the Islamic heritage are anachronistic, invented by contemporary nationalists in pursuit of current political ends. If Arabs do not grant full rights even to Muslim minorities living among them, like the Kurds, then they are even less likely to do so for non-Muslims on their borders. In today's Middle East, Israel is in the position of a minority asking for equal rights under guarantee from Arabs who have no such privileges for themselves. Arabs—more exactly, elements of the PLO—like to assert that this is not the issue. Their Palestine will be a democratic and secular state, and those Israelis who are permitted to live within it will only have to revert to the benign former status of Jews under Islamic rule.
Two of Lewis's most succinct books, The Jews of Islam (1984) and Semites and Anti-Semites (1986), show this allegedly benign status to be another example of Golden Age mythologizing. Traditionally, relations between believers and nonbelievers were regulated according to Islamic law. Jews, like Christians, were "people of the book," and as such were spared the choice between conversion and death. Because they did not submit to the Muslim revelation, however, they could be accepted only as second-class citizens, the so-called dhimmi, with penalties in a number of spheres. That, in Muslim eyes, was the right ordering of the world.
Practices varied greatly, depending on period and place. Lewis distinguishes between discrimination, which he is resigned to calling "the normal hostility" one people feels for another, and persecution. In the Islamic world, there was nothing comparable to anti-Semitism in the vicious European mode. One of the ironies which Lewis brings out is that Jews themselves spread the myth that they enjoyed rights in Islam, not because they actually did, but as a reproach to the Christians who were increasingly persecuting them in Europe.
For Arabs, the existence of Israel now represents the disordering of the Muslim world, and Lewis provides much evidence of the depth of resentment that this has provoked. Following the Christian example, Arabs in recent years have been converting discrimination into outright anti-Semitism, with all that this implies for Israel. Lewis fears that it may exclude compromise between the peoples concerned. The absence of compromise means surrendering to myths of exclusivity and supremacy on the part of the Arabs, in which case there can be no modernization worth the name, and anxieties about identity will increase. It may not be too much to say that accommodation with Israel has become the immediate test determining how to be Arab and modern.
The myth of total racial harmony in Islam is on a par with the myth of dhimmi happiness, and likewise aimed at casting a false nostalgic glow to attract those who today rightly abhor racism. Race and Slavery in the Middle East, as its title indicates, covers this ground. As everywhere else in the ancient world, slavery existed in pre-Islamic Arabia. The Prophet himself owned slaves. When the Qu'ran laid down the law regulating the obviously unequal relationship between master and slave, no racial or color prejudice was involved. Slaves were either prisoners of war, or offspring of slave parents. Women became household slaves or concubines, the men usually laborers. Muslims, of course, could not be legally enslaved.
Following the Arab campaigns of conquest, new categories arose of non-Arab Muslims and the children of Arab fathers and non-Arab mothers. Many of these were black. In the early centuries of Islam, a pattern developed of prejudice and racial hostility toward these people and their descendants. Some slaves were of European origin, mostly Slav, but the majority were African. Stereotypes emerged, as they did in other societies, more often than not in very similar language and imagery. Lewis quotes many of them, as well as clear and moving refutations and protests against such intolerance on the part of black Muslims as well as white. Anti-defamation literature would not exist, he points out, unless there had been a strong reason for it.
By whichever route, the journey into slavery was horrific, but Lewis thinks that slaves taken into Muslim countries may have received better treatment than elsewhere, and could more readily advance to positions of influence and power. This was particularly so in the special cases of military slaves and eunuchs, who might be either white or black. Muslim piety, moreover, outweighed considerations of color. In due course the supply of white slaves dried up. Profits from trading were so high that Muslim traders lost their scruples and sold fellow-Muslims within their reach in Africa—Christians in the trade were similarly disregarding religious prohibitions. The diehard argument was that since slavery was not forbidden by Islam, it was lawful, and what was lawful was beyond amending. The elimination of slavery from Muslim countries was one aspect of accommodation to Western demands and values. By way of conclusion, Lewis offers another irony: the myth of total racial harmony in the Islamic world was put about in the last century by Christians, as a reproach to the practices of white men in the Americas and in Southern Africa.
A Westerner can only describe the difficulties of reconciling the inherited Islamic identity with the world at large, so very differently shaped by the West. To judge from Lewis, there are no prescriptions. But historians are not in the business of providing hope; authoritative addresses to reality like his will serve excellently instead, and they make him a matchless guide to the background of Middle East conflict today.

According to Julie Anne Williams, Public Affairs Officer with the Glasgow Police Department:
Last Monday, Glasgow Police Officers arrested 20 year old Jeffrey T. Hughes of Megan Lane in Glasgow. Officers observed Hughes parked in a secluded area and upon making contact, noticed a strong smell of marijuana. Hughes was removed from the vehicle and a search yielded marijuana, a marijuana grinder, prescription pills and a large amount of cash. Hughes has been charged with TRAFFICKING IN MARIJUANA, DRUG PARAPHERNALIA BUY/POSSESS, POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA, two separate counts of POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE 2ND DEGREE, and POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE 1ST DEGREE. Hughes was lodged in the Barren County Correctional Center.
On Friday, GPD Officers received a call from the Hughs County Sheriff's Department in Oklahoma in regard to stolen items that they felt were in the Glasgow area. 20 year old Cory Weckman of Roseville Road in Glasgow, had made contact with Tripple S. Ranch, the owners of the stolen items, and according to Hughs County Deputies, was supposed to have returned them. GPD Officers located Weckman and found all stolen items in his possession. Weckman has been charged with RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY and was lodged in the Barren County Correctional Center.

Duke rides 4th set comeback to ACC volleyball championship
Sputtering with bouts of misplay and mental miscues bracketing flashes of brilliance, Duke was down by eight, and just two points from losing its outright ACC title to rival North Carolina.
But the 15th-ranked Blue Devils (27-4, 18-2) launched a phenomenal, focused attack to rip off an 11-1 run over the shell-shocked No. 14 Tar Heels and win the fourth set to send the title tilt to a deciding fifth set and the eventual championship 3-2 at Cameron Indoor Stadium Friday.
Carolina (27-4, 16-4) would have shared the title with Duke — and perhaps Florida State (23-7, 17-3) — if the Tar Heels had won.
"That's hard to believe," Duke coach Jolene Nagel said of the fourth set comeback. "This team has really shown some resilience throughout the year and I think today you saw a perfect example of how they've done that.
"I don't know if we've been that far down in a set 4 to get back in it and been able to do that," Nagel said.
"It's an amazing feeling right now after seeing our team just fight so hard for that win. I couldn't have asked for a better senior day, ACC championship, and it was just great," said senior Chelsea Cook, who had seven kills on the day.
"Right now it's probably the highlight (of the year) but our season isn't over yet," Cook said. "We've still got post-season. Hopefully we'll be back here hosting next weekend and keep taking it one game at a time." NCAA Tournament selection is at 9:30 on Sunday. Duke holds the ACC's automatic bid.
In the first set Duke had trouble keeping its scoring attempts inbounds, while UNC consistently slammed its shots between the lines. The Tar Heels cruised to the 25-17 win.
In the second set Duke built leads of as many as five points. But instead of withering the Tar Heels dug in and battled back to within one at 24-23. But on the ensuing match-point serve, UNC's Leigh Andrew hammered the ball into the net, giving the Blue Devils the 25-23 win.
The third set was a back-and-forth affair, with the Tar Heels jumping out to an early 4-1 lead that included a blistering ace by UNC's Ece Tanner.
Down 12-7 after a 4-1 run by UNC, Duke put together a 6-0 run of its own to take a 13-12 lead. The Tar Heels had a late 3-0 rally to tie it at 22, but UNC scored three in a row to win the set.
In the fourth set, the Tar Heels jumped out to a 12-7 lead upped it to 22-14. But the Blue Devils, who looked tentative and were missing shots earlier, kicked in the intensity and outscored UNC 11-1 to pull off the impressive 25-23 comeback and send it to the deciding fifth set, a 21-19 win.
"The whole time we were down we just kept saying, 'One point at a time. ... Let's fight to the end,' " Cook said. "I don't think there was ever a chance where I didn't think we would come back."
The fifth set was nip-and-tuck from start to finish, with Duke at match point five times and UNC once. The set was tied at 15 and four times after that.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani sounded more serious than ever this weekend about jumping into the 2012 presidential pool.
During a visit to the University of Arkansas, Giuliani said he'd "probably" join the growing list of contenders if no candidate emerges whom he would deem electable.
"My concern about 2012 is—because I'm a Republican—to make sure that the Republican Party fields a candidate that can win," he said. "And if I think that I can help by being a candidate, then that would probably persuade me to do it. But if I can help by supporting another candidate, then I'd probably do that."
Giuliani ran unsuccessfully in 2008 and ultimately backed Sen. John McCain. This time around, unlike others mulling a bid for the GOP spot, Giuliani wouldn't give himself a schedule for his decision.
"There's time to figure that out," he said. "The good thing about this election, as opposed to four years ago, is that it's happening very slowly, so it gives you a chance to think about it; gives you a chance to get it down to a smaller period of time so people can focus more on the issues."

Bartiromo also reported the findings of an NBC News/The Wall Street Journal Poll that said only 21 percent of Americans think the nation is headed in the right direction and 57 percent think it is headed in the wrong direction.

I'm guessing that the time involved, like the cost, varies depending on the amount of media in the library in question.
I still think that calling something that stores user information, in the form of the iTunes user's email address, in the "DRM Free" file somewhat misleading, but that's debatable. Digital Rights Management, by definition, seems to me as if it would be any technology that assists the digital media asset producer in tracking it's use and right to be used in a given fashion. Hence, hiding an authorized user's email in a digital media file via steganography, while possibly DRM-Lite, is still DRM. Seems kind of like a blatant lie to me, but then again, maybe I'm just off my rocker.
How To: Upgrade your iTunes Library to iTunes+
Apple has made upgrading your iTunes library to iTunes plus easier than ever! So to share the good news, we have created this post to show you the steps involved. Ready? More after the break!
Click the "Upgrade My Library Link" from the QUICK LINKS section of iTunes
This link brings you to a screen that displays the Audio and Video tracks you have that are eligable for iTunes+ upgrades. Once you decide you want to upgrade, click the BUY link
Next you will get a confirmation dialog box asking if you want to purchase the upgrade (assuming you have not disabled this feature)
Apple then tells you that the files in your iTunes library will be replaced. The cool thing is Apple gives you two options: delete them, or move them to a folder on the desktop. I strongly recommend option #2!
Once they conversion is done, your files are replaced and iTunes tells you that you have nothing left eligible to be upgraded.
Afterwards, as songs become available for upgrade, they will automatically show in the QUICK LINKS section
I found the entire process of upgrading my library very easy. I am looking forward to the rest of my purchases to be eligible in the near future. Unlike some stories I have heard, it did not take long at up to upgrade, probably 5 minutes. iTunes simply exports the DRM content to your desktop and downloads DRM free content to replace it; simple!

How To: Upgrade your iTunes Library to iTunes+
I'm guessing that the time involved, like the cost, varies depending on the amount of media in the library in question.
@mr hill
I agree, and disappointed that Apple does not outright tell the user their information is encoded into the file. My bet is that was one of the conditions to get the tracks DRM free :-(
I am amaized to find no reference in this article that upgrading your songs to itunes plus COSTS MONEY...to QUOTE APPLE: " Just pay the 30¢ per song upgrade price. (Music video upgrades are 60¢ and entire albums can be upgraded for 30 percent of the album price.)"
TIPB I am quite honestly suprised and ashamed at your missing out on this rather important detail. 30% of the album cost, its hardly free now is it!
I think you have let yourself go on this one iphone blog. Are you secretly working for apple these days?
Chad mentions "BUY" in all caps, and "purchase", which pretty much indicates Apple charging money?
(Also, the amount varies by geography -- it's a bit more for those of us in Canada, for example).
Now that itunes is going DRM Free, is there a way to transfer music to another computer without buying a 3rd party program? For instance, if you have loaded CD's into itunes, shouldnt those be transferable along with the DRM Free music, being that you have already paid for the cd?
That is right Josh! You can now play your iTunes+ music and videos on another computer. Hey, you can even play them on a Zune :-)
@ Josh:
What do you mean exactly by : "...a way to transfer music to another computer without buying a 3rd party program"? I'm not sure I understand your question right; to my knowledge you don't need any 3rd party programs for that and, yes.. all your current music can be transferred to another computer.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, or simply just misunderstood the question ;o)
The iphone says BUY and even gives a receipt for an application that is FREE. Surely you have heard horror stories of people buying things on itunes (that red diamond program anyone). Let's say I have 50 $9.99 albums on itunes and I click BUY as nonchalantly as mentioned in this blog, that's going to cost an additional $150!!! Now not everyone understands the implications of computers, and might think by reading this it really is that simple.. then get faced with a whopping $150 bill. All i'm saying its its not as easy and glamorous as this blogger has made out considering the cost... there should be a slightly harsher warning if you ask me. My god what am I saying... this blog does not even mention COST!!!!!!!!!!!!! horrendous.
I think the nation is in enough debt, let's make sure they understand the implications before they get +$150 on their already unaffordable credit card eh?
There are a few songs on my upgrade list, from 2004, that I no longer have. They are on an old computer that won't start up anymore. If I upgrade them, will they download to my new computer?
I think I tried re-downloading them quite awhile back, but couldn't.
I was quite excited when I saw the title to the thread but there is a fair bit of negative comment around, which leaves me rather undecided.
I have not personally encountered this, but I am likely to in the future. I believe it will redownload the song, it is an all-or-nothing affair. If you decide to take the plunge, let us know!
@iPhone Boy
No worries, Just one person pointed out that I did not mention the cost: $.30 per song $.60 per video. It works, but keep in mind two things: 1) You have to pay for it and 2) it does tag the file with your name and info. If you don't share illegally, point #2 shouldn't be a problem :-)
Where I live, sharing media among your close friends and family is called Private Copying and is completely legal. In return, the record companies get a small amount for every piece of recordable media that is sold.
So, where am I going with this?
Well, as there is supposed to be no more than six degrees of separation between any two persons in the world, any song with my watermark on it would potentially reach the entire world in just six levels of legal copying.
Kind of makes the whole idea of watermarking the files to stop copying pretty useless...
Or a shared network folder.
@endrit: As I stated, the other computer is not accessible anymore (you f*cking imbecile).
@Chad Garrett: Thanks, I think i'm going to try it later. It would seem if the songs are listed with a price, they "should" download... and it's only $2.40 total anyway, so no biggie.
this was a smart move, now they can sell music to everybody
@Chad Garrett: They downloaded (guess they just needed more money from me). I've missed those tunes. Time for a backup, now...
Wow did it really just take you 5 min??
I have pretty fast internet, and get this, took 7 HOURS! For all songs to download, and in the end, I'm really pissed because 14 songs had no artist info, album art, and about 6 songs never downloaded because iTunes got stuck on "Processing File" and crashed. I'm so mad right now...
Thanks for commenting back. I am glad that worked out, now everyone is the wiser :-) thanks again for the update!
It really did! I only had about 10 tracks there were eligible. So that is all it took for those 10 tracks. Every other day or so, a few more pop up for me to download.
I've deleted some tracks, cos I bought the CD and don't want to convert them to iTunesPlus tracks.
But I can only convert all tracks or nothing? How do I deselect deleted music?
I'm not amused about the fact that I do have to pay again for music I've already purchased. Well I guess I have to buy my movies again and again to: First VHS, then DVD, then BlueRay…what's next?
You can't select or deselect, it's an all for nothing thing. The part about this that bothers me is I download the song of the week, etc, it gets lumped into that mess too. 90% of those songs... kinda suck :-)
Why pay? Just burn your tracks to an audio CD and then convert them to MP3 with an import. NO DRM, NO steganography, no problem.
I'm still trying to find my cd/dvd drives and burn software after installing itunes 8.1 last Friday evening..my week of hell searching blogs and downloading drivers trying to fix the problem, continues. I wished I never updated my itunes.. It will cost me a total £155...0.20p a track for itunes+, no thanks think i'll avoid. I'm losing my faith in apple..their support is non-existent..only blogs, I will charged a fee if I make contact, for a fault in their software that erased my drivers..Be warned do not update to itunes 8.1
The way I see it Apple is stealing from it's consumers now as eeryone has already paid the full price of the songs. It's not that the price went up or anything like that, we're just paying for their bandwidth, which mind you purchasing a ton of free apps would have the same result on their bandwidth.
Oh Thanks! This really helped me a lot. Thanks again!

Aaaand here's the worst thing ever. Actually no, that eel up the ass story is still the worst thing ever, but here's one of the top like, eight or nine worst things things ever.
An L.A. County employee died at her desk on Friday afternoon and nobody noticed until a security guard discovered her a day later. Needless to say, this is way more tragic and disturbing than Weekend At Bernie's (and about on par with W-at-B's II):
AaaggahhhhhhhHHHHH!!!! The worst!
If that happened to me, I can't even imagine the double embarrassment when the security guard's like "Oh my God, this guy's dead! Oh my God, this guy was GChatting, checking three fantasy leagues, streaming Larry Sanders on Netflix, reading Rip Torn's IMDB page, and live-refreshing his 'Your Tweets, Retweeted' tab while at work. What was this dead A-hole's job?"

INDIANAPOLIS - Where Brandon Thomas will launch his professional career might depend heavily upon where he lines up on the football field.
Post and Courier college reporter Aaron Brenner will be reporting and tweeting live from the NFL Scouting Combine this week in Indianapolis. Follow him here on Twitter for all the latest news and notes.
The good news for the two-time first-team all-ACC offensive lineman from Clemson is he's willing and able to play tackle or guard.
"I do not have a preference," said Thomas, here for the NFL Scouting Combine. "I am more comfortable at tackle, though, because of course these last two seasons, I've been playing tackle. I haven't really had as much playing time at guard."
But he's not completely green at guard. Thomas started nine games at left guard his sophomore year - including the 2011 ACC Championship Game and 2012 Orange Bowl - and finished his freshman year with reps at left guard, after logging early 2010 snaps at both tackle spots.
Thomas was a nomad at Dorman High School in Spartanburg, too: guard his freshman and sophomore years, tackle his junior year, and tight end and fullback his senior year.
"I've played (guard) before and I think I can still play it," Thomas said. "But it's just gonna take some time."
NFL teams aren't quite sure what to do yet with Thomas, either. They'll glean some information this weekend at the NFL Scouting Combine.
"Some teams, you're hearing you're definitely a guard, but then some other teams, they say we'll try you out at tackle; if that doesn't work, we'll move you to guard," Thomas said. "They kind of see me as both. They see me as a leverage guard that can move his feet so they can move me out to tackle. They just want to see how I perform out there."
Thomas will engage in timing and agility sessions Sunday, which could help scouts peg him at a particular position. More so than his body type (official Combine measurements: 6-3, 317 pounds) and intelligence, the decisions might come down to fit, which varies team by team.
But Thomas is fully prepared to excel at either position.
"Basically, out there (at tackle) you have to have quick feet and good hips," Thomas said. "But inside (at guard), you have to be strong and have a solid base."
So where might Thomas be selected in the NFL draft?
"I think Brandon Thomas is a second- or third-round (option)," ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said last week.
"He was a left tackle who played well, and did a good job at the Senior Bowl practices. He could play as guard, and be a great guard, a Pro Bowl guard."
Thomas won't let himself get too concerned with how long he'll wait to hear his name called the second week of May.
"A lot of people ask me what round I should go in and what round I'm kind of hoping for," Thomas said. "Honestly, it doesn't matter what round you're picked up at, because everybody has to make the team, you know? Everybody has to play hard when you get to camp and make the team. You can be drafted in the fifth round and you might make the team; that third-rounder might not make the team."

Down For The Cause: Celebrities Who Are Riding The Hardest For An Obama Reelection- By Bossip Staff Categories: Bolitics, Multi, News
Celebrities Supporting ObamaThe election is only two weeks away! It's time to really get it popping and make your decisions (if you haven't already). While we're all getting riled up and ready, there are plenty of celebrities putting their money and actions where their mouths are. These celebrities are going all the way in for Barry and not looking back. Salute them for their contributions.
Madonna - She just stood up in front of a Republican New Orleans crowd and told them to vote for Obama. That takes cojones.
Michael Jordan - He just threw a big Obama rally and it's the first major political move he's done...ever.
Questlove - He's donated the $5K maximum to Obama. And played some pretty nifty drums for some events.

Congrats! It was well deserved!

Cutaneous Larva Migrans
Cutaneous larva migrans is a characteristic itchy creeping skin eruption, usually of the foot. It is due to a dog or pig hookworm.(Ancylostona Braziliensis or A. Carinum) which becomes 'lost' in the skin, unable to leave the skin and mature. There is a history of walking barefoot in sand or dirt in the tropics. Cryotherapy is often ineffective and albendazole 400mg daily for three to five days is curative. Having recently received 100 albendazole tablets at cost price from Smith Kline & Beecham (thank you!), I have 90 unused. Anyone with a patient with this condition may contact me to get access to the tablets at cost price, as 100 tablets retail for $210.88! Geoff Meers (Ph. 6621 7176)
PS. Albendazole is also indicated for Ascaris, human hookworm, trichuris, strongyloides and liver flukes.

Stevie does point out, however, that there are things you don't do in front of your children, or anyone else's. So should he have checked Joseline when she strutted inside the house–lingerie and all–to call the mother of his child a "maid"? We all know the outcome by now, but delicious water would not go to waste if he had only spoken up a little sooner.
Get ready for what's sure to be a lot more drama involving these three (not you, Eva).

Feuermusik ("fire music" in German), is a Canadian duo with Jeremy Strachan on woodwinds and Gus Weinkauf on percussion. I don't know anything about these musicians nor about their band. I downloaded their CD from eMusic, and these are unfortunately downloads (still!) without liner notes or any further information. On myspace they describe themselves as "trash-can-busted-up-broken-reed-blues", and that does not do the music much justice. True, many of the tunes are very direct, joyful, almost funky pieces, reminiscent in their almost musical innocence and naive approach of the Swiss Lucien Dubs trio, including the heavy rhythmic sax playing and the very polyrhythmic percussion. But that's only how it starts, then some tracks play with clearly orchestrated and overdubbed pieces (since there are no credits to other musicians, that's what I assume), creating a more African feel in the melodies and the counterpoint, especially on "Nearness/Distance". These guys are at their best when they keep it simple, and often the overdubs become a little too much, but it's great fun listening to. And in these sad days, that is a welcome break.
Listen and download from eMusic.
Watch their clips on Youtube (not exactly a performance in Carnegie Hall, but so much the better!).

Check for $1,000 each are already in the mail to hundreds of thousands of American Indians, including a large population here in Oklahoma, for the federal government's mishandling of land trust royalties.
It's part of the Individual Indian Trust Settlement, an agreement reached in Cobell v. Salazar, which marked the largest government class-action settlement in our nation's history.
If you own land that others use for farming or oil production, you should make money as well.
Elouise Cobell, a Blackfeet tribe leader from Montana, filed the lawsuit in 1996, because she observed people making money from natural resources on leased Indian land, while the Indians remained in poverty.
She claimed the U.S. government did not account for royalties held in trust for them for over a century.
"I'm on social security, so I make a thousand dollars a month," said Reynolds French in Anadarko Wednesday afternoon. "That ain't enough to quite get it there."
But earlier this year, French, who is a member of the Delaware Nation tribe, received a $7,000 check.
It was money owed to him from oil and land leases on his property, however, the wrong company was getting paid the royalties that should have gone to him a long time ago.
"He (Bureau of Indian Affairs) said that went back six years, and we just now caught it," French said. "The explanation of it, you've got me."
Clifford Peacock is the Delaware Nation Treasurer.
"Obviously anytime that you have a gain from someone else's land or property, they should be entitled to a percentage or a part of it," Peacock said.
He recently received a $1,000 check in the mail, thanks to Cobell's lawsuit.
"We have lost so many Indian people that have been waiting for justice for so long, and we can't wait any longer," Cobell said in a video on http://www.indiantrust.com.
The U.S. government agreed to a $3.4 billion settlement two years ago.
Those $1,000 checks are now going out to nearly 350,000 beneficiaries.
Many consider Cobell a hero.
"Well she did it for all the people," French said. "All the native tribes in the United States."
Sadly, Elouise Cobell lost her battle with cancer in 2011.
Both Peacock and French said these checks are arriving at the perfect time; just before Christmas.
For more information about the settlement and to find out if you qualify for a settlement check, log on to http://www.indiantrust.com.

Bob Braddock is a historian by profession, teaching English history to SVSU students since 1970. His many years with SVSU have made him, almost by default, an unofficial University historian. It may not be completely accurate to say he has done or seen it all, but Bob has had an interesting life at a campus that was comprised of nothing more than Wickes Hall for teaching facilities when he arrived at Saginaw Valley College (SVC) in 1970.
Aside from his classroom teaching, where he recently taught a third generation family member, Bob has had several interesting roles at SVSU. Some know him as the soccer coach. He created the SVSU club soccer team, played and coached for about 15 years, until the program became a intercollegiate sport. Others know Bob in his role, since 1980, as the man charged with aligning faculty for each Commencement march. Still others know him for his passion for international studies, where he sees the maturity in students who learn that the world is bigger than Saginaw Valley, and that it is important for students to think about how other people in the world perceive the U.S. In his professional role, he is known as an authority on the Tudor Court. He is also proud of the fact that he headed the committee that developed the Dow Visiting Scholars and Lecture Series into the outstanding program that it is today.
In his years of teaching, Bob calculates that he has taught some 7,000 students. That's a lot of lives that have been touched by a professor who loves to teach at a place he's been passionate about for more than three decades.

The jury deliberating murder charges against Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell announced Monday it is deadlocked on two counts but did not specify which charges they could not agree on, WORLD reports. Gosnell faces four first-degree murder charges in the deaths of babies prosecutors say were born alive during late-term abortions. He also faces a third-degree murder charge in the death of a patient given too much anesthesia, as well as hundreds of other charges. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the case. After hearing the jurors' announcement, Judge Jeffrey Minehart asked them to try one more time to reach a consensus on the two counts. If they can't, he could accept their verdict on the other 256 counts and declare a mistrial on the two outliers. Monday marks the 10th day of deliberations for the jury, which sat through five weeks of testimony to get to this point.

Ticonderoga Hannah Herbst, a former Ticonderoga High School distance runner and honor student, has been given the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship by LaChute Road Runners Club.
The $1,000 award goes to a Ticonderoga High School graduate who participated in varsity cross country and/or track & field who attends college full-time. The winner, selected by a scholarship committee, is a person who reflects the strong academic, athletic and character traits of Crammond. He died in a car accident in 2005 at age 24.
The scholarship is presented in January because it requires the recipient to complete a semester of college with a 3.0 GPA or better to be eligible. It was awarded at the club's annual Resolution Run Jan. 1.
Herbst, a 2013 Ti High graduate, is a freshman at the University of Notre Dame.
"It's a great honor to received the Duane Crammond Memorial Scholarship," Herbst said. "I'm too young to remember Duane Crammond, but I know our community holds him in great respect. It's a privilege to be associated with him in any way.
"I'm very thankful to the LaChute Road Runners," she said. "Not only will the scholarship help with my studies, it's a testament to the hard work of the club in supporting our sport, local youth and education."
This year marks $10,000 in scholarships awarded in Crammond's memory by the LaChute Road Runners Club.
"Duane was a great runner, but he was so much more," Matt Karkoski, scholarship chairman, said. "He set a great example for younger runners through his work ethic and determination to succeed.
"We're pleased we can honor Duane with a scholarship and, at the same time, help someone meet their college goals," he added.
Scholarship applications are available at the Ticonderoga High School guidance office, by contacting Matt Karkoski, scholarship chairman, at 585-7206, and online at http://www.lachute.us/misc_PDF/Scholarship.pdf
