NASHVILLE – The critically-acclaimed music series, "Front and Center" and the Country Music Association (CMA) have announced a special taping of the CMA Songwriters Series with Steven Tyler, the iconic songwriter and prolific voice of the best-selling American rock band Aerosmith.
Tyler, who is set to release his first-ever Country album early next year, will perform acoustically at the Melrose Ballroom in Long Island City, New York on Thursday, Sept. 10 for an exclusive "Front and Center" episode set to air in early 2016.
Joining him onstage will be hit songwriters Nuno Bettencourt, Marti Frederiksen, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Lindsey Lee, and Eric Paslay.

In advance of his taping for the "Front and Center" CMA Songwriters Series show, Tyler will be a part of a CMA Country takeover of ABC and New York City when he appears on "Good Morning America" with Kelsea Ballerini on Sept. 9 for the highly-anticipated announcement of the final nominees for "The 49th Annual CMA Awards" live from the heart of Times Square.
Tyler and Ballerini will announce the final nominees in five categories live in the 8:30 AM/ET half-hour segment. In addition to announcing the finalists, Tyler will perform "Love is Your Name."

"Steven Tyler is one of the greatest creative minds of our time," said Don Maggi, "Front and Center" Executive Producer. "To have him in this setting stripping down his music to the essence of what makes a great song – paying tribute to that craft – is an honor for us."
Tyler is considered one of music's most recognizable and dynamic frontmen and has been cited by Rolling Stone as "one of the greatest singers of all time." Together, Tyler and Aerosmith have sold more than 150 million records worldwide that have included 25 Gold, 18 Platinum and 12 multi-Platinum album certifications.

In 2013, Tyler was awarded with the Founder's Award at the ASCAP Pop Awards and was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame. Tyler and Aerosmith recently finished their North America "Blue Army" tour.

While working through the tutorials, I would get a "ran out of GART memory" erroe message. How does one adjust the GARTSize option. I am using 'brlcad_7.12.2_x86_64.tar.bz2' (pre-compiled binary).
debian "lenny"
AMD 64 bit dual core
0.5 GB memory
Any help will be appreciated.
Don Donovan
The solution is to compile from source.
Sean Morrison
Basically, I believe that means you ran out of video memory on your video card. That should not have happened working through the tutorials to say the least as they are all very simple models. It sounds like your system is either misconfigured or you've deviated from the tutorials or you have a lot of other apps running that are using up resources.
Either way, changing the size of GART memory requires adding a line into your X11 configuration's Screen section:
Option "GARTSize" "128"
Add that setting, restart X11 and the GART error should go away. Alternatively, you can run MGED in classic mode (mged -c, attach X) where it uses even fewer resources but it really does sound like you have something misconfigured (or too much running).
Sean Morrison
Recompiling from source would have likely resulted in a different default display manager, which is the mechanism for how we create and draw into GUI windows. Given the GART error, the binary you were using was probably compiled with our OpenGL display manager. Recompiling, you probably ended up with our X11 display manager. Both are mostly feature-equivalent, but utilize different protocols and the X11 manager probably just avoided the GART issue altogether. The underlying cause and issue, however, are probably still there on your system (and have little to do with BRL-CAD, it's a config issue).
Don Donovan
Thank you for your insight. You are probably correct in pointing at the video card. The card I am using is older technology, but stable. I have given up on the whiz-bang gamer cards because of their short life span. Old and slow gets the job done most of the time.
However, BRLCAD is such an awesome program it is worth looking at an upgrade.
Thank you for your help.
Sean Morrison
Like I mentioned in my second message, you don't necessarily need to upgrade your video card. BRL-CAD's system requirements are VERY minimum. The problem is more an opengl configuration issue with your video card. You either have to tweak the config, or compile BRL-CAD to use X directly instead. Hopefully that's more clear.
Don Donovan
You are correct. I have severe problems with opengl and this card. BRL-CAD is working fine now.
I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Heads up! The belay area at the Division Wall in American Fork will be undergoing a makeover starting July 31st till the SLCA Adopt a Crag Day on August 2nd. Most of the work will occur on the North side of Division Wall and will be closed for climbing. We hope to see you at the August 2nd Adopt a Crag to help improve this crag. Please sign up to volunteer at: saltlakeclimbers.org/event-reg...

Was at Division Wall today-- the campsite numbering looks to have changed at some point-- there didn't appear to be a #64. Instead, park next to the vault toilets just before the wheel-spike exit and walk forward. Alternately, park just outside the L.M. campground exit and walk in...
The belay areas looked awesome today, 8/4/14, thanks to the SLCA. Thanks!

The SLCA and Access Fund Conservation Crew started to stabilize the staging area at the Division Wall last year. We need your help to finish this project this year August 1st, 2015. Please SIGN UP for the Adopt a Crag HERE. saltlakeclimbers.org/adopt-a-c...

As of 9/2/2015 the re-bolting of the Division Wall is complete! This has been the pilot project for the SLCA's Wasatch Anchor Replacement Initiative (WARI), funded through Salt Lake Climbers Alliance memberships and fundraising with additional help from a generous Petzl Foundation grant; a forerunner of the Access Fund's Climbing Conservation Grant Program.
Thanks to everyone that has volunteered and for the patience and support of the climbers we encountered at Division. Special thanks to John Ross for his commitment to the project as well as his garage-tech, slide hammer method for removing the sleeves and cones of the ubiquitous, Rawl 5-piece bolts. This helped us reuse the majority of the old holes. Climbtech's Wave bolts were invaluable as the best available anchor system for the sometimes wet and/or chossy limestone.
As a reminder, the agreement with the Forest Service, documented in the Ruckman guide, specifies:"...No new routes in Little Mill Campground; Quickdraws cannot be left overnight on any route in Little Mill Campground..." The community has done a great job of adhering to these conditions for the most part, and the FS has reciprocated support of climbing activities by providing day use parking and financing the ongoing stabilization of staging areas. Let's keep up the good work, and if you want your 2 draws back from the Abyss, contact the SLCA.
Here's some more info on the project:
- 182 out of 205 bolts were replaced over the course of 9 work days.
- On-site volunteers contributed over 150 hours to the project.
- Training and oversight was provided by the SLCA.
- Existing stainless steel bolts from past re-bolting efforts were generally left in place.
- Wave bolts made up 95% of the bolts placed.
- Anchor sets consist of 316 SS, 5/16" quick links, between the 316 SS Wave bolts and high-test, plated- steel, 3/8" chain painted with a self-etching primer.
- Over 80% of the old holes were re-used with exceptions due to: sheering or stripping of old bolt heads while attempting to unscrew corroded studs from the sleeves/cones or improved micro-sighting of an anchor within a couple of feet from the old location.
- Three, high traffic, moderate routes saw more significant changes. Brian Smoot suggested that adding one bolt to the sum total was an acceptable compromise in addressing safety concerns specific to Black Hole, Physical Therapy, and Teenagers in Heat.
- Un-embedded Fixe adhesive bolts that had come loose were pulled and re-installed on Deep End.
It�s been a great first project for WARI. We�ve been able to implement methodologies that can be applied across the various limestone climbing areas in the Wasatch. Division definitely had some of the oldest bolts (25 years+), but the clock is ticking on a growing backlog. We�ll be moving on to other crags in American Fork canyon and elsewhere, expanding the initiative as we go.

Estate Tax Back in Effect in 2011 If Not Sooner
Two women, both heiresses years apart in age, share two things: The source or their fortunes, pharmaceuticals and estate issues after their respective deaths. Because of the changes in estate taxes, when they died is a big factor to their heirs.
What Are Estate Taxes?
Estate taxes, also called inheritance or death taxes, are taxes the government takes on the property passes to your heirs. The tax depends on the value of the estate.
In 2009, the federal estate tax was 45% on estates worth more than $3.5 million. Estates less than $3.5 million were exempt from federal taxes. Heirs didn't have to pay taxes on that inheritance. However, the 2001 Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA) changes the estate tax for 2010.
There's an estate tax break between January 1 and December 31, 2010. No estates will be taxed at all this year. This break affects approximately 5,500 estates this year. While this seems like no big deal or doesn't affect many people, this loophole can result in some strange consequences.
Casey Johnson and Ruth Lilly
Casey Johnson, 30, and Ruth Lilly, 94, died sometime during the end of 2009, or beginning of 2010. While their deaths were only days apart, their heirs face very different situations.
Casey Johnson's death was widely covered by the tabloids. She was found at her home on January 4, 2010. While she was last reported seen on December 29, 2009, and chances are that she may have died then, California's law says the date of death as the day the body is found.
If Casey been found or pronounced dead days earlier, her estate would have been subject to a 45% tax. However, because she wasn't found until 2010, her estate won't be taxed and her heirs lucked out.
Ruth Lilly's tax situation isn't so easy. She died on December 31, 2009. Thus, her estate, estimated at more than $1 billion, is subject to the 45% tax. Had she died just a few hours later, her estate wouldn't have been subject to federal taxes at all and her heirs would have come out with a much larger inheritance.
What This Means
Families dealing with end-of-life decisions for their loved ones are put in an extremely difficult situation by this loophole.
They'll need to consider this tax issue when deciding whether to keep their loved ones alive, putting them in the situation where they could make medical decisions based on estate tax laws.
Is the Estate Tax Gone for Good?
The estate tax will be back January 1, 2011, and impacts more families. Estates worth more than $1 million will be subject to a 55% tax.
Also, the 2010 estate tax repeal itself is uncertain. President Obama has signaled it wants a federal estate tax for 2010. The estate tax raises a lot of revenue for the government and it's unlikely they'll miss out on the chance to receive these extra funds.
There'll be much debate in Congress and about the estate tax repeal once health care reform and budget issues are worked out. As a result, many expect that this loophole won't last long, and any new laws introduced may even apply retroactively.
Get a Plan!
Right now, the best advice is to stay tuned to any Congressional developments and to check your estate plan. Next year, the estate tax is back in effect, but on $1 million estates or more. Determine the size of your estate by adding up your assets and property including your home, investments, money in bank accounts, cars and insurance benefits. You may be surprised that it doesn't take much to reach the $1 million milestone.
Also, be aware this only affects federal taxes. There still may be state taxes, which vary by state. Make an appointment to visit your estate planning attorney or other tax advisor as soon as possible to discuss the best plan.

This book takes its origin in a course of lectures on the history and progress of Astronomy arranged for me in the year 1887 by three of my colleagues (A.C.B., J.M., G.H.R.), one of whom gave the course its name. If I may claim for them any merit, I should say it consists in their simple statement and explanation of scientific facts and laws. The biographical details are compiled from all readily available sources, there is no novelty or originality about them; though it is hoped that there may be some vividness. I have simply tried to present a living figure of each Pioneer in turn, and to trace his influence on the progress of thought.

PV TP - SECProject reference: 241377
Funded under: FP7-ENERGY
Support of the activities of all stakeholders from the PV sector to collaborate together to achieve the 2020 targets
Project details
Total cost:EUR 959 912
EU contribution:EUR 468 116
Coordinated in:Belgium
Topic(s):ENERGY.2009.2.1.3 - Support to the coordination of stakeholders' activities in the field of Photovoltaics
Call for proposal:FP7-ENERGY-2009-3
Funding scheme:CSA-SA - Support actions
"The proposed action, PV TP – SEC, will foster the cooperation among all the relevant stakeholders of the PV sector and therefore optimise the coordination of the research work in various technology areas in line with the R&D targets of the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) developed by the European Photovoltaic Technology Platform (EU PV TP). The Implementation plan of the SRA will lead the European research towards the development of the most promising technologies and as a consequence it will improve the competitiveness of the European research in the world. Moreover, the proposal PV TP – SEC will give a fundamental contribution in carrying forward the proposal for the Solar Europe Initiative (SEI), which is driven by the PV industry in the framework of the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan, and its implementation plan in order to reach the following targets: • the 12% of PV electricity produced by 2020 • the grid parity in most Europe by 2020 • a competitive position of the EU PV industry by 2020 For the achievement of the R&D targets set in the SRA and the 2020 targets of the SEI it is necessary to continue in supporting, with the appropriate tools, all stakeholders from the PV sector. The main idea which led this consortium to propose this work is based on the need to provide an appropriate support to the stakeholders committed to achieve these ambitious targets. This consortium including all partners was involved in the previous project PV Sec (secretariat of the European Photovoltaic Technology Platform, EU PV TP) which is in operation since 2005. With the work performed this consortium is building up on this experience and using tools and contacts already available. Therefore with this proposal the consortium will continue in providing the appropriate administrative and communication tools to ensure the cooperation of the different entities of the EU PV TP with the experience of the work performed within the last three years."

50TH Anniversary rumor

Location: Toronto, Ontario
Re: 50TH Anniversary rumor
I know that this will never happen, but here is my dream for the 50th anniversary. The season première is a generic episode involving the 11th Doctor, when, after saving the day with about 10 minutes remaining, the White Guardian appears and tasks the Doctor with teaming up with his previous selves to combat the Black Guardian. Each of the following 10 episodes, starting with the 10th Doctor and ending with the 1st, will have Matt Smith taking part in an adventure alongside that Doctor and his companion(s) in the style of that Doctor's era. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Doctors will have already been killed by the Black Guardian and only their companions (Ian/Susan and Jamie/Zoe and Jo/UNIT) will take part in that episode.
That takes up 11 episodes. In the two part finale, the companions are ditched and the 8 Doctors (4 to 11) team up to save all of creation from the Black Guardian.

HITS Triathlon Series: Utah's James Lawrence wins full triathlon
NAPLES - When James Lawrence set a goal to run 30 triathlons in 2012 and in the process set the world record, completing each race was his primary goal. On Sunday in Naples, his journey toward the world record got off to a great start when he not only finished the inaugural HITS Full Distance Triathlon, but also won the race's overall title with a time of 10 hours, 27 minutes and 46 seconds.
"Every step the second half of the run I was feeling it," Lawrence said. "But every time you cross that finish line it all goes away, especially when I remember why I'm doing this."
Lawrence is attempting to raise $5 million for the Quiet Way Foundation through a campaign called "Tri and Give a Dam." Quiet Way is a nonprofit organization that raises money to build dams to help provide fresh water to people in Kenya.
The full triathlon race, which features a 2.4-mile swim followed by a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile race was the first event of its kind to be held in the city of Naples. At the start of the day on Sunday, 20 entrants began the race. By 6 p.m., only two had finished while three others dropped out and 15 others remained on the course.
Lawrence, who lives and trains in Lindon, Utah, said he may have run his fastest time of the year, thanks to friendly course conditions.
"This was a great course," Lawrence said. "The worst hill I had to run over was a highway overpass. It was just awesome and the conditions were perfect."
A half triathlon also was held on Sunday, with Scott Anderson, 41, of Sarasota, taking the overall victory with a time of 4:32:36. Naples' own Karen Tamson, 48, captured the women's crown in the half with a time of 5:11:42.
The HITS series will continue with stops in 10 other cities around the country before culminating with a championship race in Palm Springs, Calif. in December. Event organizers said the series expects to return to Naples again next year, with even more competitors than the 600-plus that registered this year.
While Lawrence easily took the overall title, he spent most of the race trailing fellow Utah resident Deborah Battaglia. The 44-year-old Salt Lake City resident jumped out to a quick lead during the swim before being passed by Lawrence 12 miles into the 112-mile bike stage.
She went on to finish in 10:59:22, a personal record, and take the full distance women's title. Her time also was the second best, male or female, to Lawrence's.
"The last half-mile felt like I was floating on air," Battaglia said of her reaction to finishing the race. "It was pretty cool to be a part of this for the first year and be able to finish with my best time ever."
Battaglia also competed in Saturday's open distance, which featured a 100-meter swim along with a 3-mile bike ride and a one-mile run.
"I always try to warm up the day before and I thought what better way to show my support for this event," she said.
Battaglia plans on competing in 20 triathlons this year across the U.S., all while maintaining a full-time job as an emergency physician at the University of Utah University Hospital.
She said that she hopes she can make the HITS stop in Naples an annual event.
"It's very pretty down here," Battaglia said. "Tomorrow I'm going to go rollerblading and just enjoy the beach."
