This is the first time we see Mike Lookinland with blonde hair. In the original series his hair was dyed to match Christopher Knight's and Barry Williams' hair color.
The closing credits in the original series had a grid of 9 people that they showed their faces and names of theiractors that played the Brady kids. They had 3 girls on the left, 3 boys on the right with Mike and Carol in the middle, and Alice in the center. The 1988 reunion moviehad a grid of 16 people that included the inlaws, grandkids and original cast.
In the movie "The Brady Girls Get Married" in 1981 Cindy enters college as a freshman. This movie is filmed in 1988. That means Cindy would have been in college for 7 years.
It it strange that Bobby and Cindy to be still in college. It is 1988 and they should be in their late twenties and their careers just started.
There is another bathroom revealed in this reunion movie by the den. In the original series they were upstairs. Apparently Mike and Carol had the house remodeled after all the kids left.
The opening credits has the original theme song with the Brady kids singing, and the cast photos from the first season and changes to the adult kids and older Carol, Mike, and Alice photos with the Christmas decoration around.
In real life, Maureen McCormick (Marcia Brady) was pregnant during the filming of this movie. Later that year, in May 1989, she gave birth to her daughter Natalie.
When Carol gives the woman the check, she has a bracelet, but in the later when Carol says, "Told you i was Mrs. Mike Brady", the braclet's gone.
Throughout the entire series, they never showed the entrance door to the laundry room, a bathroom on the first floor, the parents' bathroom in their bedroom, or the door to the kids' bathroom from the hall. Their first floor must have at least a half bathroom, meaning a bathroom without any bathing facilities.
The middle aged woman under the hair dryer at the beauty parlor is Mildred Schwartz, Sherwood Schwartz' wife.
This is the third time Hope Sherwood would change her role on the show. First she was Jenny Wilton as Marcia's friend in one episode, then Rachel as Greg's date and girlfriend in two episodes, and now Gretchen as Greg's graduating classmate in this episode.
Throughout the entire episode, Greg states that graduation is "tomorrow." However, when he is in the beauty parlor, there are two girls from his class who just got their hair done. They clearly state that graduation is "tonight."
Explaination: Maybe Greg couldn't get an appointment until the next day.
This is the only episode where the Bradys had a pool table.
This is the only episode where Bobby got to sleep on the upper bunk bed. Oliver was below him.
When Mike went to play Mr. Matthews, he started to take his tie off. In the next scene, his tie was still on but his jacket was off.
This is the second episode where Bobby has a dream fanatasy about being a star. The first was in the episode entitled "The Winner"
This was the second episode in which Marcia had a diary. The first was "Possible Dream".
Start with this episode, Mike has a different boss, Mr. Harry Matthews. If you listen carefully in the next episode, when Mr. Matthews comes to the Brady house, you'll hear Mike call him "boss".
When Oliver said "I wish we had a push button phone". The Bradys had only rotary dial phones throughout the series. The Mary Tyler Moore Show was a show in the seventies that had push button phones in the tv station where the crew worked. The Bradys finally had push button phones in the tv movie "The Brady Girls get married" and "A Very Brady Christmas".
When Peter enters the family room where Bobby, Cindy and Oliver is playing checkers Oliver is wearing a Cal State Northridge shirt. But when Arthur enters the family room the Cal State Northridge of Oliver's shirt is covered up by stripes.

Karpal Singh is considering citing the prime minister for contempt for defying court's warning not to comment on Anwar's sodomy trial
KUALA LUMPUR: Karpal Singh is "seriously considering" citing Prime Minister Naijb Tun Razak for contempt of court for his remarks telling opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim to surrender his DNA samples in the on-going sodomy trial.
The DAP stalwart and leading defence counsel for Anwar, said Najib had defied Justice Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah's warning to all parties against commenting on the trial.
Zabidin responded to Karpal, saying that he if he "really felt that way", Karpal could file an application to the court to do so.
"The prime minister has to face the music," said Karpal. "All parties concerned must not commit contempt of court."
This was part of the defence's argument against the prosecution's submission to review the results of the trial-within-a-trial and their request that the court orders Anwar to provide a DNA sample.
Karpal slammed the prosecution's request for a review of the trial-within-a-trial's ruling not to accept DNA evidence from three items used by Anwar during his detention, saying that it could only be reviewed if new evidence had come to light.
"Judicial activism has its limits," said the Bukit Gelugor MP.
He added that asking Anwar for his DNA was "unheard of and unprecedented in the Commonwealth and the world.
"You cannot subject a person to such demands against his will as this is against Section 323 of the Criminal Procedure Code."
"It's your constitutional right to not give samples to anybody. How can you be forced to give something when the law doesn't say you ought to?" said Sankara Nair, another one of Anwar's lawyers.
Justice Zabidin adjourned the hearing to Wednesday, saying that he would need two days to go over the submissions.
The court reconvenes on Wednesday, and he said he will announce his decision regarding the prosecution's request to review the trial-within-a-trial and application for Anwar's DNA.
Earlier, Justice Zabidin had ruled that DNA from the items retrieved from Anwar's cell on July 16, 2008 – a towel, toothbrush and water bottle – be excluded as evidence in the trial because they were obtained improperly and by unfair means.
This was a setback to the prosecution's case as the DNA would have corroborated complainant Mohd Saiful Bukhari's testimony that Anwar had sodomised him.
This is the second time Anwar has been charged with sodomy, the first being in 1998 alongside charges of corruption.
The complainant, Mohd Saiful, is Anwar's former personal aide, who accused Anwar of sodomising him at the condominium in Bukit Damansara on June 26, 2008. If convicted, Anwar faces a maximum of 20 years jail and whipping.

Recap: Lessons from the Sharing Economy for the Autonomous Vehicle Future
Webinar featuring Susan Shaheen, UC Berkeley and Mike Manville, UCLA
Autonomous vehicles hold enormous potential – a future with self-driving cars could mean safer streets, less congestion, and increased equity. These benefits are particularly promising when autonomous vehicle technology meets shared mobility companies like Uber and Lyft. But how close are we to that future? Professor Susan Shaheen of UC Berkeley and Associate Professor Michael Manville of UCLA talked about this difficult issue during a webinar hosted by the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies.
We are still some time away from truly autonomous vehicles. There are five stages of automation: level 4 means you can occasionally take your eyes off the road and your hands off the wheel […]

Ballot Box Transportation Finance: November 2016
Next Tuesday, voters across the county will decide on some 300+ ballot measures that will use tax increases to fund transportation improvements. With the help of our friends at the Eno Center for Transportation, we are exploring how these measures are distributed across California and the county.
These measures could raise nearly $200 billion for transit investments, and billions more to fund improvement of roads, rail and freight. The federal gas tax, traditionally the nation's primary source of transportation funding, has not been raised in 22 years. In 2014, only about 27 percent of transportation funding was federal, dropping from a high of 35 percent in 1980.
Simultaneously, […]

About the Facility
The NCMN X-Ray Structural Characterization Facility is dedicated to materials identification and characterization through non-destructive, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique. The specific applications include Powder diffraction, x-ray reflectometry, small angle scattering, pole figure, reciprocal space mapping, Grazing incidence in-plane diffraction, x-ray crystallography etc. Non-ambient powder and single crystal diffraction is also available at selected temperature range.
Powder diffraction is routinely used for phase identification, finding relative ratio of phases, structural phase transitions, percentage of crystallinity analysis of partially crystalline materials, etc. Advanced hardware and high resolution optics are available to investigate thin films, multilayers, highly oriented and epitaxial thin films. Grazing incidence in-plane diffraction provides valuable information of the structural order in the plane of the film. X-ray crystallography is unique in capabilities to unravel the absolute crystal structure from single crystal diffraction.
The following instruments are available at the NCMN X-ray Scattering Facility: (1) Rigaku SmartLab Diffractometer (2) Bruker D8 Discover Diffractometer (3) PANalytical Empyrean Diffractometer (4) Rigaku D-Max/B Diffractometer (5) Rigaku Multiflex diffractometer and (6) Bruker Photon 100 Single Crystal diffractometer.
Acknowledgement Text
Agencies including NSF and the University providing partial support of our Nebraska Nanoscale Facilities and NCMN Facilities require that the following words be included at the end of any Acknowledgement section of a paper in which experimental work was done in NNF-NCMN facilities:
The research was performed in part in the Nebraska Nanoscale Facility: National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure and the Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience, which are supported by the National Science Foundation under Award ECCS: 1542182, and the Nebraska Research Initiative.
1. Rigaku SmartLab Diffractometer
This is a state-of-the-art instrument including a dedicated arm for detector movement in-plane and perpendicular to the sample surface, thereby able to probe structure in both directions without tilting the sample. The instrument is equipped with cross beam optics device hardware that will allow switching between focussing (BB) and the parallel beam (PB) geometries easily. SmartLab guidance software helps the optics and sample alignment automated and prepares optimum scan conditions. SmartLab can be configured for grazing-incidence in-plane XRD, grazing-incidence XRD, x-ray reflectivity, high-resolution XRD (rocking curves, reciprocal space maps), texture (pole figures), residual stress analysis and small angle x-ray scattering study of nanoparticles. The diffractometer uses Cu Kalpha radiation (wavelength of about 1.54 Å).
2. Bruker-AXS D8 Discover Diffractometer
This also is state-of-the-art machine including Vantec-500 area detector, centric 1/4-circle Eulerian cradle, domed hot stage, hi-flux in-plane hardware, laser/video sample-alignment system, Göbel mirror, fine tilt stage, and dual-beam path analyzer module. The system can be configured for grazing-incidence in-plane XRD, grazing-incidence XRD, x-ray reflectivity, high-temperature XRD, high-resolution XRD (rocking curves, reciprocal space maps), texture (pole figures), residual stress, and capillary diffraction. Bruker D8 Discover diffarctometer is configured in parallel beam geometry with Cu Kalpha radiation (wavelength of about 1.54 Å).
3. PANalytical Empyrean Diffractometer:
Empyream is a dedicated powder diffractometer with advanced detection capabilities. It is equipped with PIXcel 3D detector that can be operated with 0D, 1D and 2D detection capabilities. This instrument consists of 3 kW copper target and theta-theta goniometer. The samples can be placed in zero-background holder and the holder remains horizontal as well as it can be spun continuously during the scan.
4. Rigaku D/Max-B Diffractometer:
X-Rays are produced by a 1.8 kW, sealed tube Cobalt target. The diffracted beam then converges (is "focused") into a diffracted beam monochromator which removes all radiation except the Co Kalpha wavelength (about 1.7903 Å) which then enters a scintillation counter. The sample and detector are rotated with respect to the incident beam at angles theta and 2theta respectively. A typical XRD scan consists of a plot of detector angle (2theta) vs. diffracted intensity. These diffractograms can be printed out or saved to disk in application-friendly ASCII format.
5. Rigaku Multiflex Diffractometer:
This instrument consists of 2 kW copper target and theta-theta goniometer. The sample holder remains horizontal during the scan and therefore, there is no need to use adhesive substances to mount samples on to a low background sample holder plate. Similar to D/max-B, Rigaku Multiflex is also configured in focusing geometry where a secondary monochromator removes the scattered signal except that corresponding to Cu Kalpha wavelength. Pre-aligned sample holder and friendly operating software makes the powder diffraction experiments very easy with this instrument.
6. Bruker Photon 100 Single Crystal Diffractometer:
Smart Apex Single Crystal Diffractometer is a dedicated instrument for Crystallography studies (absolute structure determination using a single crystal sample). This instrument delivers intense, monochromatic beam of Mo Kalpha radiation (0.7107 Å) produced using Graphite monochromator from a sealed Mo X-ray tube and collimated with a pinhole collimator. The single crystal is mounted on the tip of a glass fiber or a nylon loop affixed to a Goniometer head will be attached to a fixed χ, 3-axis goniometer.

Radical Mods/Hacks for Koss ESL
3 Attachment(s)
Since the KOSS "Model 2" ESL had some seemingly well made panels, I wondered if I could make them run full range electrostatic instead of only up to the 2.5khz limit on the factory originals.
I found the HF E/S modules were a four-layer sandwich using dual-polar HV biasing. This limited HF response to about 4khz tops (were they trying to make a high powered E/S panel ?)
By separating the diaphragm/stator layers (by removing external binding silk packaging tape, I came up with six individual panels). These six panels, running single diaphragm would perform full range I discovered with no high frequency loss (no need for dome tweeter in factory original).
Run them in a surround system with a SW below 80hz. Tapered side baffles extend LF performance < 100hz
I have never repaired, or built electrostatics, but have read a little here.
This looks like an interesting project :) From what you said no point in keeping these museum style, like I feel a Quad ESL 57 should be.
I suggest you search this site, about using to modern power supply transformers, and see if options popular on this site such as 8V/240V step up transformers are as good as people say. Could you measure the turns ratio on driving transformer?
Hoping you can make a Hifi dream on a budget.
( a great source of panels & audio transformers that can sound good when liberated from Koss's disastrous over-engineering.)
For power supply, I use a 5-inch TV w/ tube removed & resistor divider to obtain 2.5 KV from 5 KV.
The resistive measurements of the Transformers in Koss are on the schematic in other thread
Looks like a fun project. The factory original dome tweeter was likely to provide wide angle coverage of some top end as your panels will be very directional. That is an interesting idea to make the speaker have a wider angle of dispersion at high frequencies. Personally I prefer a more directional speaker. Hope you have good success with the project. Best regards Moray James.

BLOEMFONTEIN - Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger could miss Sunday's FIFA World Cup round of 16 match against England with a thigh injury.
Schweinsteiger left Germany's final group stage game against Ghana, a 1-0 win, in the 81st minute Wednesday. Germany secured first place in Group D and a berth in the knockout round with the win.
"He has sustained a thigh injury," German assistant Hansi Flick said "The doctors say time is running out but we hope he can play because he is an important player."
Schweinsteiger has been instrumental in midfield for Germany, especially with Michael Ballack's absence due to an ankle injury suffered in May.
Toni Kroos replaced Schweinsteiger for the final minutes of the Ghana match, and could start against England at Free State Stadium.
Midfielder Mesut Ozil, who scored Germany's goal against Ghana, and defender Jerome Boateng are also battling injuries and could miss the England match.

Mountain View, CA (SPX) Feb 24, 2016
A new network of video surveillance cameras in New Zealand has detected a surprise meteor shower on New Year's Eve. The shower is called the Volantids, named after the constellation Volans, the flying fish, from which the meteoroids appear to stream towards us.
"In a way, the shower helped chase bad spirits away," says SETI Institute meteor astronomer Peter Jenniskens. "Now we have an early warning that we should be looking for a potentially hazardous comet in that orbit."
In September of 2014, Jenniskens teamed up with Professor Jack Baggaley of the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, to establish a meteor video surveillance project in the southern hemisphere to find such warning signs of dangerous comets.
This project was similar to the existing Cameras for Allsky Meteor Surveillance network in northern California. The CAMS network is sponsored by, and supports the goals of, the NASA Near Earth Object Observation program.
Now, 32 video cameras are spread over two stations on New Zealand's South Island. Amateur meteor astronomers Peter Aldous at Geraldine and Ian Crumpton at West Melton are operating the stations. Data are submitted to the SETI Institute where Jenniskens calculates the meteoroid trajectories.
"New Zealand, lying between 35 and 47 degrees southern latitude, has a long tradition of meteor studies," says Baggaley. "While radar observations in the past were efficient at observing sporadic meteors, the video cameras can see the meteor showers really well."
Jenniskens and Baggaley describe the network and report on the new result in a paper submitted for publication in the Journal of the International Meteor Organization. The paper characterizes the trajectories of 21 Volantids measured on December 31, and two more on January 1.
"These were naked-eye meteors and rates peaked at the time of the local New Year's Eve celebrations," notes Jenniskens. "One out of three meteors that night came from this shower."
The shower was not seen the year before and is not known from past radar observations.
"A confined stream of dust particles must have been steered into Earth's path for a brief moment," says co-author and meteoroid stream dynamicist Rachel Soja of the University of Stuttgart, Germany, who calculated that the Earth will be safe from the comet and its debris in the near future.
The meteoroids move in a fairly steeply inclined orbit similar to that of some Jupiter-family type comets.
"The parent body of this stream still eludes us," says Soja. "It may not be active now and the high inclination may make it difficult to spot."

Startup introduces 'analog virtual prototyping'
Post a comment
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Promising to bring analog IC layouts into the design cycle early, startup Accelicon Technologies Inc. has introduced a technology it calls "analog virtual prototyping."
Accelicon's AVP product automatically generates "analog correct" transistor-level placements from schematics. It works with blocks of up to 500 transistors or so, and is integrated with Cadence Design Systems Inc.'s Virtuoso custom IC design suite.
While Accelicon has thus far stayed mostly out of public view, the company has actually been around for three years, and has a previous product called Model Quality Assurance (MQA). Sold to foundries and fabless semiconductor vendors, MQA provides Spice model library validation, comparison and documentation.
Accelicon was founded in 2002 by Xisheng Zhang, previously vice president of R&D at Celestry Design Systems Inc. The Cupertino, Calif., company employs 32, including 26 people at its R&D facility in Beijing. "The mission is to provide innovative solutions to the mixed-signal, analog and RF market," said Tim Smith, a 12-year Cadence veteran who joined Accelicon in January 2004 as CEO.
Analog virtual prototyping, as defined by Accelicon, differs from the high-level floor-planning capabilities available in the digital IC market. An "analog virtual prototype" or "floor plan," in Accelicon's view, is a transistor-level placement that can be generated early in the design cycle, in minutes, by circuit designers who are not layout experts.
"Today, an engineer who wishes to study the physical effects of an analog design must wait until the layout designer has finished the layout, which could take days or weeks," Smith said. "To move to more advanced process nodes, it will be more important than ever to have an accurate analog layout early in the design cycle."
With that layout, Smith said, a circuit designer can extract parasitic information for simulation and performance analysis. The designer can also get an accurate size estimate for the analog block and conduct "what if" analyses for various implementations. Smith said that AVP can also be used by layout teams as a "layout accelerator."
One application for AVP is mixed-signal system-on-chip design, Smith said. He noted that it has been used to obtain layouts for blocks such as voltage-controlled oscillators, phase-locked loops and various kinds of filters.
Input to AVP includes the schematic, library information and a technology file. Accelicon uses the Cadence device library. Users may, if they wish, define their own constraints.
AVP then goes through a two-step process: circuit analysis, in which the topology is analyzed through a signal-flow- driven technique, and placement. What really differentiates AVP, Smith said, is the circuit analysis step and its ability to identify such elements as differential pairs, common centroid structures, folding resistors and "essentially all the active and passive elements in the topology."
Once the information is known, "the placer will place along the signal path, and the algorithm will try to create devices as compact as possible," he said.
AVP is available now priced at $50,000 for a one-year license.

Not getting enough sleep can "dramatically" alter your body, according to a new research study from the University of Surrey.
UK researchers found that activity in hundreds of genes was altered when a person got less than six hours sleep a day for a week.
The BBC reported diabetes, obesity and heart disease have all been linked to poor sleep.
More from GlobalPost: Drinking before bed means bad sleep, says study
The study looked at the blood of over two dozen people after 10 hours of sleep each night for a week, and compared the results with samples of those who had less than six hours a night, the BBC explained.
What they found was that more than 700 genes were altered.
"Clearly sleep is critical to rebuilding the body and maintaining a functional state, all kinds of damage appear to occur - hinting at what may lead to ill health," University of Surrey Professor Colin Smith told the BBC.
"If we can't actually replenish and replace new cells, then that's going to lead to degenerative diseases."

Treaty of Paris, (1856), treaty signed on March 30, 1856, in Paris that ended the Crimean War. The treaty was signed between Russia on one side and France, Great Britain, Sardinia-Piedmont, and Turkey on the other. Because the western European powers had fought the war to protect Ottoman Turkey from Russia, the treaty gave special attention to this problem. The signatories guaranteed the independence and territorial integrity of Turkey. Russia was obliged to surrender Bessarabia (situated at the mouth of the Danube River) to Moldavia, which along with Walachia were reorganized as autonomous states under Ottoman suzerainty. (These two principalities later joined to form Romania.) The Black Sea was neutralized (i.e., its waters were closed to all warships), and the Danube was opened to the shipping of all nations. In 1870 Russia repudiated the demilitarization of the Black Sea and began to rebuild its naval fleet there.

text: We just had brunch at Navio at Ritz half moon bay on Easter Sunday. It was beautiful there and the food was great. I did not check the price before hand, so I was surprised when the check came in at $125/person instead of $88/person as I expected. I wonder if anyone knows if the food on Easter Sunday brunch is different, or it is more expensive just because it is Easter?

I recently had a visit, from an Australian relative, who lives in Sydney, who has not visited Sunderland for more than 20 years.
He said: "He could not help but comment on the state of the town, as it was to him then and the city as it is now".
Dirty streets, uncut grass verges and public areas, the poor state of public buildings and facilities, and the total decline of the town centre.
I said, in defence, that unfortunately, since the financial crisis of 2008, the city and the country have been in a state of "austerity", and that due to this, standards have, unfortunately, declined due to the council having to cut back on the services provided.
He said that in Sydney, since the 2008 crisis, the city did not go into austerity, but released nearly all its cash reserves (millions of dollars) so that schools, public buildings, council housing, public parks, public transport etc. were maintained to the highest standards, giving massive amounts of work to the local building sector and associated industries. Also providing, much-needed apprenticeships for school leavers, and because of this the city prospers, looks fantastic for all the tourists that visit the city and is a great place to live and bring up a family.
Is there a message there somewhere?
Come on, Sunderland Council, take the initiative and release some of the millions of reserves we've got tucked away and let's get the city back to where it should be. After all what are "reserves" for?

Social Question
Are many of the poor in the US spoiled or not very grateful?
Many of the people I know that would fall below the government poverty line bitch about what they don't have, and that the government don't help and the rich are greedy bastards. Many of the poor here would be rich in many other nations. I don't think I know of any person that could be considered poor that has a home that doesn't have hot & cold running water, functional toilet and shower, a way to launder clothes; with out having to beat them with stones by the river, or use a washboard with a large pail. At least basic cable, a cell phone at least, even if it is just a burner air card phone, and possibly a beater car. Even those who are truly homeless many had pay-as-you-go cell phones. They never truly starved. They had food pantries to use, they recycled for money to buy food, they had soup kitchens to frequent. They were not like this poor bloke so starved to even get to the food to live another day at least. Even the lowest of the poor I have known, did not have to wash their clothes in a dirty river, or bathe in a river where all manner of boat traffic travel occurs, animals use, and even people use because they do not have toilets. I have never seen any government housing that had running open sewers in them. By comparison, the poor here in the US still has it pretty good. Taking into consideration all they do have, can they really complain and bitch about not getting what they like of feel they deserve to have?

Monday was the day Apple (AAPL[1]) faithful wait for every year: the company's World Wide Developer Conference.
While the conference is focused on introducing the development community to the latest versions of Apple's OSX computer operating system and iOS mobile operating system, but the entire tech world tends to be watching closely for the opening keynote, where features of the next generation of Apple's software are previewed — and new hardware is sometimes revealed. (The iPhone 4 was a 2010 WWDC reveal, for example.)
This year, the anticipation had been higher than usual. WWDC 2013 was the debut of iOS 7 — offering the first glimpse of Apple's new mobile operating system since Scott Forstall, former SVP of iOS software, was fired in a management shakeup last year[2] — as well as other devices and services.
Apple's MacBook Air was a surprise hit that's turned into a consistent bestseller, stymying efforts of Ultrabook manufacturers to catch up[3]. The new MacBook Airs use Intel's (INTC[4]) new power-efficient Haswell CPU and faster Flash drives to boost performance while delivering what Apple describes as "all day" battery life. Translated, that's nine hours for the 11-inch version and 13 hours for the 13-inch model.
New Mac Pros were also revealed, sleek black aluminum canisters (1/8 the size of the old model) packing up to 7 teraflops of computing power and the ability to drive three 4K monitors simultaneously. Graphics, film and publishing professionals will love this machine, while Apple gets bragging rights since the new Mac Pro has been confirmed as the "Made in the U.S.A." model Tim Cook had earlier alluded was coming[5].
Apple's new computers are also equipped with Gigabit Wi-Fi[6], courtesy of new 802.11ac cards that offer triple the speed of the current 802.11n standard.
The big surprise with Apple's desktop operating system was its name. After sticking with a big cat theme since its launch — Tiger, Panther, Snow LeopardMountain Lion, etc. — Apple is switching to a California theme. OSX 10.9 will be known as Mavericks.
Mavericks is packed with tweaks including under-the-hood memory and CPU optimizations to increase battery life on notebooks and usability features like improved support for multi-display setups.
This was, without a question, the most important part of the keynote. Last year at this time, Apple was riding high on record iPhone 4s sales and fevered anticipation for the iPhone 5 and iPad Mini. Now, it's in a slump with worries that the iPhone is losing its competitive edge over smartphones running Google's (GOOG[7]) Android or Microsoft's (MSFT[8]) Windows Phone.
In a move clearly calculated to address investor concerns, CEO Tim Cook focused on a mobile area that Apple still dominates: 82% of tablet-generated web traffic comes from an iPad, while 60% of all mobile web traffic is iOS (Android is responsible for 24%, in comparison). 73% of iPhone users are "very satisfied" with their devices (32% for BlackBerry, 49% for Android and 53% for Windows). Unlike the fragmentation mess in the Android camp[9], 93% of iOS users are on iOS 6, the latest version (33% of Android devices are now running Jelly Bean).
Android's capture of 70% of the smartphone market doesn't sound quite as scary when framed in those terms. At least that's what Cook hopes.
The new look iOS 7 is meant to reinvigorate Apple's mobile products, addressing concerns that the operating system was aging in comparison to the new Windows Phone 8. It also needs to address a deficit in key functions that Android users take for granted — features that Google has been more than happy to provide to iOS users by releasing apps like Google Maps and Google Search.
It looks as though Apple is on the right path. The new UI is clean and "flatter" (as rumored), but instead of the tile look used by Windows, iOS 7's designers went with an overlay that gives an almost 3D appearance. And skeuomorphisms — like the much-derided green felt Game Center and leather and stitched Calendar — have been banished. The result is a minimalist, elegant interface.
It's not all cosmetic, with major additions like a new Control Central that lets users access key controls with a swipe (instead of drilling through levels of Settings), multitasking support for all apps, intelligent background updating of apps (based on which apps you use most frequently and your network connection), an improved Safari web browser, filters for the camera, and Airdrop (a file sharing service). Siri gained an optional male voice, further support for in-car integration and, in a clear shot at Google, searches powered by Microsoft's Bing search engine.
Another rumored product made its debut at WWDC. iTunes Radio is Apple's answer to Pandora — a streaming Internet radio service with social hooks. It will be free to iTunes Match subscribers, with an ad-supported version available to everyone else. The company also announced iWorks for iCloud, basically an Apple version of Google Docs.
The stock market's reaction to the WWDC keynote was muted; AAPL closed down 1.3% on Monday. Regardless of Wall Street's relative indifference, though, Apple is showing that it's willing to take aggressive action to hold (or regain, depending on your viewpoint) its position at the pinnacle of the smartphone heap. The other pieces of the equation will be the new iPhones and iPads expected in the fall — if the new hardware is up to snuff, then combined with iOS 7, it should address concerns that Apple is coasting in the mobile space.
Until then, it's clear Apple intends to fight for sales in all its markets, upping the ante in its notebook line, showing a renewed interest in high-end workstation PCs and reinventing its mobile OS in an attempt to leapfrog the competition.
As of this writing, Brad Moon did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Runoff for AG set for Tuesday
Tuesday is an election day in Lawrence County as voters will go to the polls to decide the Republican nomination for attorney general.
The ballot will include David Sterling, who received the most votes in Lawrence County in the primary, and Leslie Rutledge, who garnered 47 percent of the vote statewide.
Those who voted in the Republican primary or registered voters who did not cast ballots in the primary can vote in the runoff. Those who voted Democratic in the primary are not eligible to vote in the Republican runoff.
Early voting is underway and will continue through Monday at the office of Lawrence County Clerk Tina Stowers. Polls will be open on Tuesday from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The polling site for those voting in Campbell 1, 2, 3 and 4, as well as Cache and Richwoods, has changed starting with this election.

Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 40
Adjacent Routes
Outstanding face-climbing, continuously interesting with the two hard sections linked by superb moves. All this, plus opportunities to recover in between, make this justifiably one of the most sought after routes of the grade in the country. Start just below the ledge of Original Route, below a short, capped groove up and right. Enter the groove (good low wire, peg) and climb it past two pegs to the top. Pull out right (wire) then back left to the rest on Flaky Wall. Follow this past its tricky bit and continue in a direct line up the pocketed wall to an exciting finish onto the ledge.
The sideways nut placement mentioned is all but blown out now, however there are still good placements a few feet lower.
Oh and the 'jug' at the end of the runout is full with soil and grass extending the length of the tricky section.
if you have no stamina (like me) it is quite possible to reach the ledge with your hands and become pumped, to then become gripped (like me), be unable to reverse (like me) and take a huge fall (like me)...ouch
Big High rise john, moanin about a bit of grass.
Jug at end of run out cleaned aug 06
Cleaned jug at end of run out today. 31st May 2007
I have no idea how you could fall off that final jug - it's huge and the 'exciting' move is 5b. Not as run-out as reputation suggests and no harder than 'tails IMO. Superb and sustained.
Follow the comments and you'll see that the jug used to be full to the brim with mug and grass. When I did it the 'jug' was a grass/mud flatty. Don't get me wrong, it was still soft at E5 and the runout isn't huge.
The pegs in the starting groove are looking poor now.
The pegs in the starting groove are now looking much better now.....replaced 08/10

This Guy Sucks!
At first, I thought this sportscaster was just having a bad case of nerves. As this clip goes on, though, I began to think he is just illiterate. Dude cannot read! I don't even like sports and I could've done a better job. There are long stretches when you just see footage and hear this guy sighing in the background. Oy vey! He's making Merry Miller look like Christiane Amanpour.

Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, a Republican, has expanded the federal-state Medicaid program and has embraced a state-based health insurance exchange. Sandoval said, "When the Supreme Court upheld the (Affordable Care Act), every state and every American was forced to abide by it."
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stated in 2012 just before Mitt Romney's defeat in the presidential election: "President Obama has kept every promise about Hurricane Sandy's funding and delivered as promised."
These positions are not popular with the GOP. But both Sandoval and Christie are more concerned with problems that face the citizens of their states than they are with the Republican Party's position in any upcoming elections.
These two governors remind me of the Republican Party before the Tea Party came along and ruffled the feathers of this once-great party.
The GOP has to look no further than Sandoval and Christie as the right combination for a presidential ticket; either one would fit well as president or vice president. This may be just what the GOP needs to put it back on course.
