text: By PSW Staff • June 11, 2012 Production manager Tom Shebast at the DiGiCo SD8-36 at FOH. (Photo credits: Ellei Johndro) Union Transfer is Philadelphia's newest midsize music space—a former Spaghetti Warehouse restaurant that's been transformed into one of the city's most dynamic live venues. Opening its doors in the fall of 2011, this general-admission hall comes complete with multiple bars, ample stage viewing angles, sky-high ceilings, a warehouse vibe, and a movable stage with expandable capacity and state-of-the-art lighting and sound. Tom George of Eighth Day Sound configured a flexible system for the venue that they could grow into—a DiGiCo SD8-36 at FOH, SD8-24 at monitors and a D Rack—one that would accommodate their average 24-40 inputs per show and allow them to patch in guest consoles and literally to go from a house console to a guest system with a push of a button. Production manager Tom Shebest, who handles the majority of mixing for bands not travelling with an engineer, was impressed with the recommendation. "Eighth Day made a convincing case for the DiGiCo SD8," he recalled. "We looked at other consoles in the same price range and found that DiGiCo offered great value and a lot of extra features for the price. A lot of touring engineers come in that are super comfortable with digital consoles but tend to get a little flustered when switching back between banks a lot. "The ability to have 36 channels up at one time is great especially with the fact you have three assignable knobs for every channel. The fact that you can have two auxes and pan on 36 channels at any given time is fantastic and something that really isn't available on any other console. "The sound quality is fantastic as well for that price," he states. "It's the best sounding console that is available digitally; it sounds better than other similar sized consoles on the market. The EQ is really great, too, and does exactly what you want it to do. The effects, especially with the big overdrive update, are so good and offer everything anyone would need right inside the board; we really haven't had a need to use any outboard gear. "Everyone's been able to get what they need within the system which is great because we don't need to rent any outboard gear to meet most artists riders, and that goes right to our bottom line." Monitor engineer Timothy Nichols had limited experience working with the console as a freelance engineer on a variety of festivals and events. He had nothing but rave reviews regarding the console's intuitive layout, flexible features and audio quality. "The layout made sense to me immediately, and it seems like most touring engineers using it for the first time can get around just fine," he explains. "It's quite easy to customize the layout of the desk for one's personal preferences. Fader banks can be reassigned, custom fader banks can be created, etc. "I have a starting template that is both tailored to my preferences and can accommodate the needs of touring engineers without a lot of fuss or making them wait while I reconfigure. "I love the 'ripple channels' feature for input/output soft patching," Nichols continues. "It saves a lot of time when integrating a touring IEM rig, managing many bands inputs in one show, or when a large input list requires XLR lines to be shared by support acts. When I PFL a monitor mix, the graphic EQ for that mix automatically pops up on the screen… "Awesome! I don't have to scroll through menus or multiple screens to access it. This is great for ringing out wedges at soundcheck, or quickly killing unexpected feedback mid-show. The Dynamic EQ is fantastic, too. So many bands use samplers, drum machines, and other electronic sources with unpredictable and inconsistent output signals. "This lets me dial in extra compression on problem frequencies while leaving the channel's main compressor more open or even bypassed. Overall, the consoles sound great, especially in tandem with d&b audiotechnik speakers for mains, subs, wedges, and sidefills." Another important feature for Nichols, are the console's knobs. "This really has nothing to do with about sonics, but VERY important for me, is the fact that the knobs on the console feel REAL. They have a bit of resistance to them, so when I turn them it feels more like an analog console, not a plastic toy knob (like the other ones you have used). "On the DiGiCo, I turn a knob and it's proportional to the adjustment I see on the LCD. On some other desks it seems like the slightest turn of a knob can change a gain/pan/threshold by 60 dB in the blink of an eye, and I then spend 10 seconds turning it back and forth to make a precise adjustment. Meanwhile I'm missing my next cue or a performer trying to get my attention." a DiGiCo Comments Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.

Flogging Molly, Blind Pilot & Neutral Milk Hotel
9 Nov 2009, 19:10 by snoopdugiedogSo, I was feeling a strong need for some new albums (probably because I haven't bought one since the beginning of october), so I hopped on over to Newbury Comics, and picked up three:
Flogging Molly - Swagger: Tickets are going on sale for a concert in september, and I completely forgot that I recently bought Drunken Lullabies, so I looked through the Flogging Molly, almost bought Drunken Lullabies, but then bought Swagger. I'm not sure whether I like it more than Drunken Lullabies, but it definitely has some good songs on it.
Blind Pilot - 3 Rounds and a Sound: A couple weeks ago, I saw that they are performing in Boston this week, and then began listening to them. Since I've listened to this album pretty much every day since I heard about the concert and really discovered them, I thought this would be a nice addition.
Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea: I've had this album on my to-buy list for quite some time, so I figured I would get it. …
Best of 2008: #8, Blind Pilot
21 Dec 2008, 02:21 by JohnCa55illoThe following is taken from my music blog, Animal Noises-feel free to check it out.
Rank: #8
Album: Three Rounds and a Sound
Artist: Blind Pilot
Label: Expunged Records
We've reached #8 on our countdown, which happens to be Blind Pilot's 3 Rounds and a Sound. What makes this album worthy of such a high rating? I think in this case, it's less groundbreaking music, and more a sense of familiarity. The first time I heard this record, I was reminded of most of the good moments in my life. I have no idea why, or how, but I felt as if I'd heard these tracks a thousand times over. It's a warm familiarity which cannot be matched by any other collection of songs that came out this year, so for that alone, I'm putting it as high as I am. Listen to 3 Rounds once, and I can almost guarantee you'll sense something. It may not be the familiarity that I did, but it will be something good.

The Mionix Naos 8200 is really comfortable and great for those that enjoy using a palm or claw grip.
The 8200 uses a laser sensor, which has issues of unstoppable hardware acceleration. The Mionix 7000 series uses a "perfect" optical sensor in comparison, and is far better in terms of accuracy.

After School Tuesday and Thursday Groups at Boulder Friends Meetinghouse
We need your help!
Cool Girls is requesting your support with a donation. Your gift funds after-school experiments, art activities and field trips, buys supplies for the students, and supports critically needed outreach to underserved communities. Our nation needs more citizens to fill thousands of jobs requiring skills, creativity and passion for e-STEAM. All donations are tax deductible.
Donate at our GoFundMe Site
Cool Girls Science and Art Club is a non-profit that aims to help elementary school girls develop their passion for the exciting world of entrepreneurship, science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics (e-STEAM). Cool Girls meets weekly after school to learn about e-STEAM, perform experiments, host guest speakers, and go on field trips. We also present on e-STEAM in the classroom and at community events. All girls in grades 1 – 5 are welcome. To become a Cool Girl or volunteer, please contact us.
As a grassroots organization, Cool Girls Science and Art Club is led by its members and most importantly, the girls who meet in two groups: grades 1-3 and grades 4-5. At the beginning of each semester, each of the two groups decides what e-STEAM topics they want to explore and then mentors, volunteers, and guest speakers attend the after school meetings to teach the girls. Each week, some of the older girls in 4-5th grade mentor the younger girls. This empowers the mentors, teaches them how to serve, and reiterates the material, furthering their learning.
Cool Girls' intellectual curiosity, enthusiasm and insights direct the flow of information at club meetings as they learn not only from the program presented by the volunteer, but from each other. Mentors encourage the creative contributions and learning to flow both ways. Face-to-face, hands-on experiences make it easier for the girls to picture themselves in such roles when they become adults. According to Citizen School, "The Edgerton Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has conducted research indicating that 85% of middle school children are interested in STEM, but that two-thirds of them believe they will not pursue careers in STEM either because they don't know any STEM professionals or they don't know what those professionals really do".
The mission of Cool Girls Science and Art Club is to engage young girls from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds in entrepreneurship, Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics (e-STEAM) so they have the desire, confidence and skills to sustain their contributions to the community throughout their personal, academic and professional journeys.
A world where everyone has the tools and opportunity to create a healthy environment and happy future.
Thank you to our Sponsors:
Cool Girls Science and Art Club welcomes all who share our mission and wish to support our goals, regardless of sex, race, color, national origin, ethnicity, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, physical and mental ability, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected under federal, state or local law.

Playing God Lyrics
Artist: Pretty Maids
Album: Planet Panic
We seek immortallity
The wish to control
In the face of tecnology
We reach for our goals
We deny the laws of nature
Breaking the genetic rules
Playing god
Playing with fire
Playing god
The quest and desire
Determind to evade our destiny
We're chasing the code of life
We got to explore
In building the perfect tribe
To open new doors
There's no limit to our venture
No cure for our curiosity
The lust for knowledge like a
Modern day frankenstein
Genious or madness
Where do we draw
The line
Science dreams
We're going off the rails
We hold the future
Of mankind we can't
Afford to fail

Vape Pen and Pen Style Vaporizers:
Vape Pens are slightly bigger than cig-a-likes, yet offer a bigger battery for longer vaping time. These devices usually come as either an all-in-one or will include a vape tank that can be removed or changed. Vape pens are easy to operate even if you have little or no vaping experience. Simplicity and compact size is what makes pen style devices a perfect addiction to any vape collection. Here you will find all kinds of vape pens with convenient features like top-fill vape tank design, variable wattage control and pass-through charging. Don't settle on cheap gas station imitations which will last you an average of a few weeks. MistHub offers top quality devices from top vape manufacturers like Joyetech, SMOKTech, KangerTech, Innokin and Eleaf.
Vape Pens Disclaimer
NOTE: Do not abuse the power button on your vape pen. Most modern pen style vape devices include an auto shut-off feature to protect the battery from over discharge. Nevertheless, this doesn't mean you should misuse this feature as it may significantly decrease the battery lifespan. Enjoy your device responsibly and at a reasonable pace to ensure that you enjoy your vape pen for a long time.

Welcome To Screamscape!
If you're a theme park lover or enjoy the best thrill rides the world has to offer, you've found the right place.
From new ride announcements, construction reports and the latest rumors: Screamscape always has something new to report.
News & Rumors
SIX FLAGS DISCOVERY KINGDOMVallejo, California Six Flags Theme Parks
Park News - (2/8/17) Six Flags will premier an all new VR style experience called "The New Revolution Galactic Attack" at Six Flags Magic Mountain (on the New Revolution) and at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (on Kong) this month. Instead of just another VR Coaster experience, they are calling this one a Mixed Reality Experience, a first on a roller coaster. The difference is when "riders board the coasters and don their Samsung Gear VR headsets, they will be introduced to the device's passthrough camera functionality, instantly making riders aware of their surroundings, by allowing them to see the "real world," including the person seated next to them— along with virtual content. As they get settled into the ride, a heads up display overlay on the passthrough camera view will show data like current status of weaponry, time codes, fuel cells, and a countdown clock. Cresting the lift hill, a massive, swirling wormhole comes into view. As riders drop at high speeds, the mixed reality view changes to a completely immersive, virtual reality environment and a fighter spaceship cockpit materializes and envelops the riders into a tunnel of light. At the bottom of the first hill, riders are launched into the middle of a space battle, coming under attack from flying drones firing lasers and missiles. After swinging through tight channels, narrowly dodging drones and artillery fire, riders are brought into one of three drone bays, each of which offer a completely different gaming experience and three different endings." Both parks will premier The New Revolution Galactic Attack on the weekend of Feb. 18-20th.
2017 - Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth - (11/16/16) According to the construction update posted to CoasterDemon, not much more than dirt pushing has taken place at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for the park's new Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth ride. Follow the link to see the latest photo update from around the park. (9/3/16) A quick update, I have confirmed with Six Flags that Wonder Woman: Lasso of Truth is actually a Zamperla Giant Discovery, and not a Huss Giant Frisbee. (9/1/16) Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth is coming to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in 2017 in the form of what appears to be a Huss Giant Frisbee. Standing 15-stories tall you'll spin and swing back and forth at speeds up to 70mph and love every minute of it.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Many are wondering why we've heard relatively little about the new Super Smash Bros. title announced along with the Wii U in 2011. Many hoped it would be a launch title, as all three of the previous Super Smash Bros. titles are widely regarded as one of the best games for their respective systems. But all that's followed so far has been silence, and we've heard little to nothing about the development of the game since that initial announcement years ago.
There are likely many reasons for the delay, but there's one that could be more pressing than the rest. It's unusual, but it's actually a physical injury that is helping to make the game move more slowly than it could. The wounded party in question is Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai. The man has a repetitive strain injury (RSI) that's severely affecting his ability to build and test the game. He spoke to Famitsu (via Polygon) about what exactly is going on.
"I think the one word I've said the most this year, by far, is 'Ow!'" Not only am I getting calcific tendonitis, but they've also found what are apparently several ruptures in the muscles. My upper arm hurts, and there's this chronic dull pain in my elbow joint as well. On the lower arm, there's this feeling of fatigue around the flexor muscles that turns into pain when I use a keyboard or game controller with my fingers."
"There's no instant cure for it, so all I can do is either block the pain with injections or put my arm in a cast to keep the ruptures from spreading. I was told that the important thing was to keep my arm as rested as possible. In order to get it fully healed, the only thing is to not use my right arm or hand. So not only am I using a trackball with my left hand; now I'm using it to eat, brush my teeth, wash my hair, and even drive as much as I'm able to."
He goes on to say that he can barely hold a controller to playtest the game, and when he does so, often has to play entirely with one hand. Hardly an ideal scenario. Granted he has a team to help him out with these sorts of duties, but Sakurai obviously has a huge part in whether or not the game sinks or swims. To have him crippled in this way is very detrimental to development.
Nintendo needs Super Smash Bros. U (or whatever it ends up being called) to be a hit. The series has been one of their best across their last three systems, and it could be the shot in the arm the Wii U needs (no pun intended) in order to spur sales. Replay value of every Smash Bros. game is always off the charts, and it would encourage continued use of the console week after week.
I sincerely hope that Sakurai is able to heal from this issue, not just to give us a new Super Smash Bros, but for his own sake, as it sounds excruciating and frustrating.

In remote, icy Greenland, ex-Air Force General Steven Macaulay helps lead an expedition to recover a lost World War II plane. Encased in ice below is a find that will astonish the world - a perfectly-preserved Viking ship, buried for nearly a thousand years, along with the frozen corpses of nine crewmen. Assembling the foremost Viking scholars, Macaulay tasks the gorgeous Lexy Vaughan to translate the ship's markings - until her work is cut short when her colleagues are murdered. Stranded on a vast landscape of ice, wind and unbearable cold, Lexy and Macaulay are hunted by a secret cult that will go to the end of the earth to hatch an ancient plot of death and world domination.More

Still can't get my head around it...

Bring an extra sweater when you listen to this one
The parallel stories, wrapping history of Vikings, the Final Solution, archeology, and White House intrigue. It sounds messy, but it moves along intelligently and quickly.
I don't recall any, but I will definitely from here on out. Quite simply this is a stunning performance by a true professional. He has to work a variety of intense characters, with a wide range of accents, and he does so with clarity and precision. I can't give him high enough remarks. Certainly now in my personal hall of fame.
Made me research Viking history, which was somewhat moving.
This book snuck up on me, and by the end of the story it had me wrapped up totally. Lanes' performance brings it to life, and the total package is very compelling. Most highly recommended.

John Bruce commented on the use of "wetting agents" being beneficial with
Cygon--I'd concur on this, but I'd encourage looking for those that are
described as "spray surfactants," breaking down the surface tension of the
droplet while also working into the outer waxy cuticle of the leaf and
staying there (an old expression was "sticker/spreader").
The axiom "for every 10 degree (Celsius) increase, chemical activity
doubles" has some merit, but I'd rather not spray Cygon in the heat of the
day, but would prefer to when there is no wind, and at times when light and
humidity conditions would increase borer activity--it has some residual
activity, but it's best use is on the emerging larva.
Dimethoate (Cygon) was regarded for a time as the best miticide for row
crops, and I suspect that's where a great deal of its reputation as a
systemic comes from. There are better "larvacides" available, but I doubt
any will ever make it to the ornamental/residential/homeowner market(s)--as
I doubt any homeowner wants to see their pet sick, or have their backyard
smelling like a chemical warehouse.

As the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) moves toward its launch date in April 2013, leading experts in libraries, technology, law, and education continue to explore the possibilities of a national digital public library through meetings, workshops, and even an Appfest. Operating under the principle that the DPLA is built upon efforts of the community, each event provides continued opportunities for librarians (among others) to shape the direction of the project.
Taking place in Chicago on October 11 and 12, 2012, DPLA Midwest featured keynotes, breakout sessions and working groups that brought together librarians, technologists, and other stakeholders. The DPLA's mission to "make the cultural and scientific heritage of humanity available, free of charge, to all" was evident throughout the meeting as the DPLA's six workstreams continued to develop the platform in preparation for next year's launch. The meeting also introduced the board of directors voted into office in September 2012. Following the meeting, the DPLA announced the appointment of Amy Rudersdorf, Digital Information Management Program at the State Library of North Carolina, to the position of Assistant Director for Content.
Participants came away from Chicago with a more refined understanding of the governance, financing, and technical infrastructure of the DPLA, as set forth in a five-year plan. As written by Dan Cohen, Director of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, the project will "bring together the power and reach of the digital realm with the local community" by building a network of service hubs that are capable of harvesting metadata about collections around the country. As John Palfrey, president of DPLA's board of directors, mentions on the Digital Shift Blog for Library Journal, the DPLA is an "on ramp" for librarians and patrons to find and utilize resources that currently exist in separate collections.
In keeping with its mission to partner with community members, the DPLA hosted an Appfest at the Chattanooga Public Library in early November. This day-long event showcased web and mobile applications designed to work with the DPLA's platform. Participants pitched recommendation engines, widgets for library homepages, and visualizers capable of operating in concert with DPLA's API. Chattanooga Public Library, meanwhile, solidified its position as the ideal site for such a forward-thinking festival; the library currently boasts data transmission speed of up to a gigabit per second, thanks to Google Fiber.
On December 6, 2012, the DPLA will host its third annual Audience Participation Workshop and Hackathon at George Mason University. The event promises to focus on outreach and marketing strategies to libraries and other institutions with whom DPLA might partner. As noted in a blog post by Rachel Frick, Director of the Digital Library Federation at the Council on Library and Information Resources, "the success of the DPLA is tied not only to technical infrastructure or the use of the platform and content, but to the strength of the community that contributes to the code and carries the conversation."
For more information on how to get involved with the DPLA, please visit this page to join the announcement list, participate in a workstream, or follow the social media channels.
If you are currently working on DPLA-related initiative, METRO would like to hear from you. Please be in touch with Anne Karle-Zenith, Digital Services Manager, or Jefferson Bailey, Strategic Initiatives Manager.

Where are the actual quotes from the Republicans that show they're lying?
Government worker pay is in line with the private sector.
Here is the Civil Servant pay scale (From grunt to management level) and the geographic adjustment tables.
It was easy for our owners to cut the wages for the construction and other trades by manipulating the housing market but federal wages are set by congress. They are hoping that the people they already screwed will force congress to screw the rest of the country. Then life among their serfs will be "fair."
The article is short on quotes from Republicans as the author provided exactly 0. Do you have any quotes from Republicans on this issue, or are we supposed to just accept this as true because it was posted on the Internet?
Hey, it came frm the steelworkers union... so it must be true. :BangHead:
Kinda reminds me of this scripture!!
Speaking of a smear campaign...
>From Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass, to Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, Republicans are lying about government workers' wages and work habits in an attempt to convince voters that the source of the country's economic woes is public sectors workers
Well, If not Republicans, who convinced you all?
I cannot speak about the sources of much of this rhetoric. I CAN speak about my personal experiences:
1. In the mid-1970s, I knew some Federal civil service employees who spent more time goofing off than doing their job. In fact, I helped "catch" them sabotaging something they were supposed to be repairing! The sabotage would have resulted in these "workers" being called in for overtime! They were able to keep their jobs because they were union workers.
2. I have seen the "pay scales" for federal civil service workers. The pay is ALWAYS higher than what would be paid to private workers. Why? The unions that most federal employees work for!
3. I served 20+ years in the USAF. When I retired, my monthly pay was reduces to about one-third of my active-duty pay, even though it was advertised as being 50% of my base pay. Did you pick up on that? My "base pay" was about two-thirds of my total pay. Military members cannot form unions.
4. Since I retired from the USAF, I have held four private and one public jobs. None of the private jobs paid anything close to what the public one did! In fact, when that temporary job ended, I drew unemployment benefits at a dollar amount nearly a dollar HIGHER than the state minimum wage! (In Washington, the unemployment benefits are paid at about 75% of wages earned. This means that my temporary public job wage was nearly twice the minimum wage.)
5. One of my jobs was a union job. The local union president was getting paid 5 times what me and my co-workers were getting. When we finally "threw out the bums", we got better benefits and better pay raises than what the union had negotiated!
Could it be that it is not "public workers", but "unions" that have helped cause our economic problems? As well as "pork" projects in all states.
Or maybe we should all just look in the mirror to see part of the cause!
Bill :godisgood:
Just another short comment. The 2010 Federal base pay scales referred to by HankD shows that General Service (GS) Grade 1 Step 1 (the lowest pay bracket, for zero experience) gets $17803 per year. Divide that by 2080 work hours per year. You will get hourly pay of $8.56 per hour. The page also says ALL locations get an adjustment of 14.16% (or more based on location). That raises the GS-1 Step 1 amount to $9.77 per hour! My current job (in which I have 10 years experience!) pays $11.96 per hour. My newest co-worker makes about $9 per hour! State minimum wage is $8.55 per hour. Then you can add in about 50% for benefits (yes, even to private jobs)!
Sounds like overpayment to me!
Bill :godisgood:
Statistics say what you want them to say. I read something that said the average government employee salaries is $147K+. I don't know how they came up with that but it's preposterous.
Federal Employees do not make the kind of salaries being touted in the media. I know I am one. Even as a GS 11 my pay is less than half of what's been stated as "average". Only base commander-level employees make over 100K. Most employees make less than 60K. Startig pay is far less, about 38K.
There are employees that get by with minimal effort. It used to be worse than it is now. All but one of my workers put in a good days' work. The one foot-dragger can't be fired but she never has and never will be promoted. We have to put up with her until she retires, that's just the way it is.
Military pay is much better than federal civil service especially when the tax advantage is calucated in. It's not even close. Any Air Reserve Technician that recieves full-time federal civil service pay and part-time military pay will tell you that they would trade their civil service pay for military pay in a minute.
If there's a lot of money to be made in fed civil service, it is in Washington DC, where salaries over 100K are the norm. But who wants to live in DC?
Bill, I don't know where you are living but it sounds like my home area. In south Alabama/northwest Florida the only people that make a decent paycheck are either state or federal workers. In New Jersey however civil service pay is considered to be less than average.

Lindsay Lohan out of Gotti film, back in
Are we surprised that Lindsay Lohan has already been kicked out of the cast of that Gotti movie she was supposed to be in?
Thought not.
Nothing ever seems to go smoothly for the poor girl. Seems that the producer of "Gotti: Three Generations" starring John Travolta got fed up negotiating with Lohan's people as he attempted to sign her on for the film.
Executive producer Marc Fiore told TMZ that the negotiations have been called off. "It just didn't work for me," he said. Money was an issue, sources say, but Lohan's team was apparently "out of control," TMZ reported.
"I will only ride a merry-go-round with my kids," Fiore said.
Fiore, who wanted Lohan for the role of Victoria Gotti, did offer a sliver of hope.
"Maybe if Lindsay calls me up, we can talk about it," he said.
Are we surprised that she did? Wednesday afternoon, TMZ was reporting she was back on the flick, in a different role, after she spoke to Fiore personally.
Can't keep up with this woman.
Wedding apathy
Uh, maybe you're not as interested in the royal wedding as we thought you were.
According to a PriceGrabber survey of 2,842 Americans that wound up in our inbox Wednesday, chances are pretty good that you couldn't care less about Prince William and Kate Middleton getting hitched on April 29. Tough crowd.
Supposedly billions around the world will watch the ceremony on TV worldwide. But 77 percent of the respondents to PriceGrabber's survey said they didn't plan to watch live coverage. 72 percent said they weren't intending to watch coverage of the wedding afterwards, either.
Good luck with that. You won't be able to avoid it.
Of course, PriceGrabber failed to point out that 77 percent of people don't care about anything.
Anyway, we promise not to mention the royal wedding again ... until tomorrow.
'Happy Days' not here
Members of the "Happy Days" cast are unhappy. Just like the rest of us – and for the same reason, too.
They want more money and lots of it.
Plaintiffs Anson Williams, Marion Ross, Don Most, Erin Moran and Tom Bosley (deceased) are suing CBS Studios, alleging that they're not getting a cut of the dough made in merchandise sales related to the television show.
That "Happy Days" lunchbox you have? Came right out of Anson Williams' pension!
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims that CBS released DVDs of the show and licensed "Happy Days" images to third parties, including for use on gambling machines and, yes, lunchboxes, without sharing revenue.
The lawsuit alleged the "if you don't ask, then we don't pay" policy violates contracts that mandate a share of merchandise revenue to the cast.
A call to a CBS spokeswoman was not immediately returned. Of course.
The actors are claiming more than $10 million in damages.
Glaser fearful
He played Starsky in the 1970s sitcom. Or drama, or whatever it was. Or was he Hutch?
Well, someone cares – a little too much, apparently.
Actor Paul Michael Glaser (OK, he was Starsky) filed papers in L.A. Superior Court that say he "fears for his safety," according to E! Online.
Glaser is seeking a restraining order against an alleged woman stalker who used to run his website but who now has seemingly gone off the deep end – sending him hundreds of emails, staking out his pad, and traipsing after him all the way to London, where she watched him in a play 23 times, the website reports.
Glaser says he's about to go on a book tour and is requesting that the woman be legally barred from getting any closer than 200 yards.
Stiller art
Ben Stiller is getting some of the biggest names in contemporary art to help Haitian children affected by last year's earthquake.
The actor and comedian announced Wednesday that he is partnering with New York art dealer David Zwirner on a benefit auction called "Artists for Haiti," scheduled for Sept. 22 at Christie's auction house.
Some of the artists who have already donated works include Chuck Close, Paul McCarthy, Jasper Johns, Dan Flavin, Jeff Koons and Hiroshi Sugimoto.
"Over a year after the massive quake in Haiti, there remains a huge need to rebuild and help the country," Stiller said in a statement. "David and I are working to help raise funds so that the children of Haiti have an opportunity to receive the education they need to lead a better life and fulfill the potential of this vibrant and important culture."

DRI –The Voice of the Defense Bar Files Amicus Brief in U.S. Supreme Court Case White & Case v. U.S.
CHICAGO, IL (Law Firm Newswire) April 22, 2011 - DRI – The Voice of the Defense Bar filed an amicus curiae brief with the United States Supreme Court in the case of In re Grand Jury Subpoenas served on White & Case, et al., 677 F.3d 1143 (9th Cir. Dec. 7, 2010). The brief challenged the Ninth Circuit decision that blindly applied a per se rule that ignores civil protective orders whenever information covered by such a protective order is sought by a grand jury subpoena, and urged the Court to accept the petition for writ of certiorari in White & Case v. United States (U.S. Feb. 25, 2011) (No. 10-1147).
The case began as a grand jury investigation of alleged antitrust violations in the foreign and domestic LCD flat-screen industries. As is typical in anti-trust, securities and other business-regulation cases, after the grand jury investigation became public through news reports, the class-action bar filed dozens of civil cases across the country. The numerous civil actions were centralized in one Multi-District Litigation proceeding in the Northern District of California, where the grand jury investigation was initiated and ongoing.
The class-action cases proceeded in parallel with the U.S. Department of Justice's grand jury investigation. Early on DOJ intervened in the civil cases to obtain a stay of discovery, arguing that civil discovery would interfere with the grand jury and that "employees of the companies under investigation could be placed in the untenable position of having to choose between asserting their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in a civil deposition, with the negative interference that comes with that decision, or testifying in a civil deposition and running the risk of self-incrimination in the criminal matter."
The DOJ then issued grand jury subpoenas to several law firms in the U.S. representing parties involved in class actions and sought all existing and future civil discovery including all foreign-originating material that had been brought to the U.S. and ignoring longstanding methods of obtaining foreign discovery designed to respect foreign sovereigns' rights. The law firms moved to quash the subpoenas, the district court granted the motion, and the Ninth Circuit reversed.
"Not only has the Ninth Circuit decision expressly defined a three-way split among the circuits about the legal standard for determining which takes precedence," stated Illinois attorney Steve Puiszis, chair of DRI's Judicial Task Force and a member of its Amicus Committee, "it has jeopardized full and fair civil proceedings and also expanded the territorial subpoena power of criminal prosecutors."
DRI identified two destructive consequences of the Ninth Circuit's decision. First, it encourages plaintiffs to seek extremely broad and foreign-based discovery to leverage potential criminal prosecution to force quick civil settlements. Second, it encourages the plaintiffs' bar to forum shop. The Fourth, Ninth and Eleventh Circuits follow the same rule. The Second Circuit has adopted the opposite approach, and the First and Third Circuits have adopted a rebuttable presumption that grand jury subpoenas take precedence over civil protective orders. DRI believes it would be naïve to think that the plaintiffs' bar would not exploit the Fourth, Ninth and Eleventh Circuits' advantages and forums.
For these reasons and others, and because the Ninth Circuit decision has broad implications for many areas of law and industries, DRI – The Voice of the Defense Bar identified this case as one of great importance to the interests of DRI's membership. The DRI Amicus Committee elected to support the petitioner by participating jointly as amicus with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In supporting the petition, DRI sent a strong message to the Court that this case presents an important issue worthy of review.

Breeding systems in Tolpis (Asteraceae) in the Macaronesian islands: the Azores, Madeira and the Canaries

Plant Systematics and Evolution | Year: 2015
Plants on oceanic islands often originate from self-compatible (SC) colonizers capable of seed set by self-fertilization. This fact is supported by empirical studies, and is rooted in the hypothesis that one (or few) individuals could find a sexual population, whereas two or more would be required if the colonizers were self-incompatible (SI). However, a SC colonizer would have lower heterozygosity than SI colonizers, which could limit radiation and diversification of lineages following establishment. Limited evidence suggests that several species-rich island lineages in the family Asteraceae originated from SI colonizers with some "leakiness" (pseudo-self-compatibility, PSC) such that some self-seed could be produced. This study of Tolpis (Asteraceae) in Macaronesia provides first reports of the breeding system in species from the Azores and Madeira, and additional insights into variation in Canary Islands. Tolpis from the Azores and Madeira are predominately SI but with PSC. This study suggests that the breeding systems of the ancestors were either PSC, possibly from a single colonizer, or from SI colonizers by multiple disseminules either from a single or multiple dispersals. Long-distance colonists capable of PSC combine the advantages of reproductive assurance (via selfing) in the establishment of sexual populations from even a single colonizer with the higher heterozygosity resulting from its origin from an outcrossed source population. Evolution of Tolpis on the Canaries and Madeira has generated diversity in breeding systems, including the origin of SC. Macaronesian Tolpis is an excellent system for studying breeding system evolution in a small, diverse lineage. © 2015, Springer-Verlag Wien. Source
Multiplexed-shotgun-genotyping data resolve phylogeny within a very recently derived insular lineage

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Endemic plants on oceanic islands have long served as model systems for studying patterns and processes of evolution. However, phylogenetic studies of island plants frequently illustrate a decoupling of molecular divergence and ecological/morphological diversity, resulting in phylogenies lacking the resolution required to interpret patterns of evolution in a phylogenetic context. The current study uses the primarily Macaronesian flowering plant genus Tolpis to illustrate the utility of multiplexed shotgun genotyping (MSG) for resolving relationships at relatively deep (among archipelagos) and very shallow (within archipelagos) nodes in this small, yet diverse insular plant lineage that had not been resolved with other molecular markers.METHODS: Genomic libraries for 27 accessions of Macaronesian Tolpis were generated for genotyping individuals using MSG, a form of reduced-representation sequencing, similar to restriction-site-associated DNA markers (RADseq). The resulting data files were processed using the program pyRAD, which clusters MSG loci within and between samples. Phylogenetic analyses of the aligned data matrix were conducted using RAxML.KEY RESULTS: Analysis of MSG data recovered a highly resolved phylogeny with generally strong support, including the first robust inference of relationships within the highly diverse Canary Island clade of Tolpis.CONCLUSIONS: The current study illustrates the utility of MSG data for resolving relationships in lineages that have undergone recent, rapid diversification resulting in extensive ecological and morphological diversity. We suggest that a similar approach may prove generally useful for other rapid plant radiations where resolving phylogeny has been difficult. © 2015 Botanical Society of America, Inc. Source
Botanical exploration of the Cape Verde Islands: From the pre-Linnaean records and collections to late 18th century floristic accounts and expeditions

This paper reviews the development of knowledge of the flora of the Cape Verde archipelago, the only portion of Macaronesia located in the tropics, from the discovery of the islands in the 15th century until the end of the 18th century. The first settlers of the islands came from Portugal and their accounts recorded that the dense forests and lush vegetation found in neighbouring regions of Africa were not present on these dry islands. Claims for John Kirckwood and Vespasien Robin collecting in the Cape Verdes during the 17th century are doubtful and it is likely that they refer to the Cape Verde promontory located in Senegal. Lotus jacobaeus (Fabaceae) is the earliest documented record for the endemic flora (year 1699). The first documented systematic plant hunting expedition was conducted by Johann R. Forster and his son George Forster during the second voyage of Captain Cook around the world. The Forsters visited Santiago on 14 August 1772, collected herbarium specimens, provided records for 39 species and described four new species based on this material. James Robertson and George Staunton also collected plant material in the Cape Verde Islands in the late 18th century. However, it was João da Silva Feijó who undertook the first extensive plant exploration of the archipelago between 1783 and 1789, under the patronage of the Portuguese government. His material was the basis for 14 new species descriptions made by Philip Barker Webb in 1849. The growth of knowledge of the Cape Verde flora contrasts markedly with that of the Canary Islands and Madeira, the floras of which were much more extensively documented by the mid-18th century. © International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT) 2014.

WHEN he came to the 15th tee in the second round of the French Open yesterday, Ian Woosnam held a three-shot lead over his nearest challenger and had not dropped a shot in his last 23 holes around the wickedly difficult Le Golf National, near Versailles. While all around him were losing their heads, the former world No 1 could do no wrong.
Sad to say, the run-in to the finish gave the lie to much of what had gone before, but the Welshman remains nicely placed to kick on over the weekend in a bid for his first strokeplay
