TCA hosts Gary Puckett and The Union GapWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | email@example.com
Gary Puckett and The Union Gap made the most of the '60s. The decade included six consecutive gold records for the group in 1968 and a performance at the White House for the Nixon family, Prince Charles and Princess Anne.
Instead of playing in Washington, D.C., the group responsible for singles "Woman, Woman," "Young Girl," "Lady Willpower," "Over You" and "Don't Give Into Him" will come to Tecumseh on April 29.
The name Union Gap comes from a town in Washington state near where Puckett grew up. Puckett's parents, who had been big-band members, encouraged him to learn the piano as a child.
"They said, 'What do you think of this?' and I said, 'I'd rather go out and chase garter snakes,'" Puckett said during a phone call from his home in Clearwater, Fla.
By the time Puckett was a teenager, he had fallen in love with music — albeit rock 'n' roll instead of the classical tunes he grew up with.
"My heart was just struck by rock 'n' roll, by Elvis Presley, by Jerry Lee Lewis, The Everly Brothers," he recalled. Puckett, also a big fan of the rock film "Blackboard Jungle," took up a guitar he found in an attic.
Despite their love of music, Puckett's parents wanted him to pursue a traditional route.
"My folks and my grandparents said, 'We want you to be in medicine, go to college and study, be a professional person,'" he said.
Puckett gave it a shot and spent two years in college in San Diego before dropping out. He ended up in an 11-man band called The Ravens. The band turned out to have too many members to work, but it led Puckett to a realization.
"Do we do this for the love of rock 'n' roll or to get paid? There came a point where I realized we do it for both," he said. Puckett would go through other band formations and names before settling on one that stuck — The Union Gap, featuring the group in Yankee Civil War costumes. Puckett, who had a small collection of war memorabilia, believed the uniforms made the group stand out in an era of paisley and platform shoes.
"I went, 'Perfect. I've got a name; I got an image. Now all we need is a great record,'" Puckett said.
The band went on to meet a young Jerry Fuller of Columbia Records in what would prove to be a crucial collaboration.
"There was a guy who I ultimately discovered, Jerry Fuller, who is given credit for discovering me," Puckett said with a laugh. Fuller wrote many of the group's hits, including "Young Girl."
"Young Girl" with the lyrics of "Young girl, get out of my mind/My love for you is way out of line" was considered racy during its day, something Puckett disputes.
"Looking back, it wasn't about being racy. It was more about an upstanding guy who just happened to be a little older," he said. The controversy didn't slow the song down and in 1974 it was rereleased in England by popular request.
Still the 1970s proved less than kind to Puckett and his band with the advent of glitter rock and disco.
"That's when things were changing. Decades are sort of marked by their beginning and their end. People were wanting to let it go, forget about it," Puckett said. Puckett disbanded the group in 1971. He tried to have a solo career, but didn't have the same amount of success as he had with The Union Gap.
Puckett and The Union Gap would return to the popular music scene in the '80s as part of the Happy Together Tour and later the Monkees' reunion tour. Puckett's songs would also hit the airwaves again as golden oldies on the radio.
"That's when things got back on track for people like me ousted by the music industry," Puckett said.
Puckett and the latest formation of The Union Gap plan to give Tecumseh the group's biggest hits and some covers. "The show is all built around what the people expect and want," Puckett said. He will also tell the story of when he met Presley
The group will play the Tecumseh Center for the Arts (TCA), 400 N. Maumee St., Tecumseh, at 4 p.m. April 29. Tickets are $26 for youth and seniors and $29 for general admission. Tickets are available at www.thetca.org.

|The Zodiac in Time
I want to introduce you to the signs of the zodiac in terms of the annual cycle of the Sun that defines the seasons in the northern hemisphere. Since our western astrology originates in the northern hemisphere, the astrological year is born in the spring, reaches the height of its strength and light in the summer, moves on to autumn and falls back to its darkest and weakest in the winter before being reborn once again the following spring.
The signs of the zodiac [30]
Astrology is a geocentric system, with the earth at the centre of the celestial sphere. The earth's equator is projected onto the celestial sphere as the celestial equator. The path of the Sun, called the ecliptic, is at an angle of 23.5º to the celestial equator, and it is this angle which creates the seasons. The ecliptic is divided into twelve equal zodiac signs of 30º each, and the Sun spends approximately one month in each of these signs as it moves around the ecliptic each year.
There are four cardinal points in the year: two equinoxes and two solstices. The spring or vernal equinox ('equinox' means equal night and day) each year marks the Sun's entrance into the sign of Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac. At this time of year, normally around 21 March, the Sun crosses the equator and enters the northern hemisphere. For the next three months, the Sun continues its northward journey, rising higher and higher in the sky as it enters the sign of Taurus (approximately 21 April) and Gemini (approximately 21 May). The days get longer and progressively warmer.
The summer solstice each year marks the date (normally 21 June) when the Sun reaches its highest point in the northern hemisphere (on the Tropic of Cancer, which is 23.5º degrees north of the equator) and appears to 'stand still' (the meaning of 'solstice') before beginning its southward journey. On this date the Sun enters the sign of Cancer. For the next three months, the Sun will lose height in the northern hemisphere, entering the sign of Leo (approximately 23 July) and Virgo (approximately 23 August). The year matures; the days are hot and increasingly dry.
The autumn equinox each year marks the Sun's entrance into the sign of Libra. At this time of year, normally around 21 September, the Sun crosses the equator and enters the southern hemisphere. For the next three months, the Sun continues to lose height as it enters the sign of Scorpio (approximately 23 October) and Sagittarius (approximately 23 November). The days begin to get shorter and colder.
The winter solstice each year marks the date (normally 22 December) when the Sun reaches its most southerly point (on the Tropic of Capricorn, 23.5º south of the equator) and once again appears to 'stand still' for approximately three days before beginning its northward journey. On this date the Sun enters the sign of Capricorn. For the next three months, the days begin to get longer again as the Sun travels northwards, entering the sign of Aquarius (approximately 21 January) and Pisces (21 February) until once again it crosses the equator at the spring equinox.
The seasonal year
The table above shows the approximate dates of the Sun's entrance into the astrological signs. These dates vary by a day or so from year to year, so it is always worth checking the year in question to find out the exact date and time when the Sun enters any of the signs. As you can see, the two solstices and two equinoxes mark the beginning of the four cardinal signs, which are followed by the fixed signs, which in turn are followed by the mutable signs.

From 29 March 2014 same-sex couples in England & Wales will be able to marry. This is an historic moment. For the first time children growing up to be lesbian, gay or bisexual in England & Wales will have full equality in law. We can now proudly claim to be a beacon to the world for lesbian, gay and bisexual equality.
This all became a reality because of a piece of law, the Marriage (Same Sex Couples Act) which was carried through parliament with support from across the Liberal Democrats, Labour, and Conservative parties. Along the way there were repeated attempts by well funded opponents to wreck the Bill and deny equality to loving, committed same-sex couples.
Click here to read the transcripts from the debates, or below to look at our overview of how it all happened:
On Tuesday 5 February 2013 the Bill received it's Second Reading in the House of Commons. This was the first chance MPs had to properly debate the bill and vote on its proposals. We were delighted that they voted overwhelmingly to support marriage equality, the final vote was 400 votes to 75, a majority of 225!
Following the vote, the Bill went into Committee, where a group of MPs heard individuals and groups give evidence about equal marriage, before proposing amendments to the Bill.
On 20 and 21 May the Bill reached its Report Stage where all MPs had another chance to debate specific parts of the bill and propose amendments.
At the end of the first day of Report stage the House of Commons rejected an amendment - by 375 votes to 70 - designed to wreck the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill. The amendment, tabled by vocal opponents of equality, would have resulted in significant delays to the Bill's implementation.
Third Reading of the Bill took place on 21 May and gave MPs the opportunity to debate the Bill as a whole. The Bill passed its Third Reading vote in the House of Commons by 366 votes to 161 free from any wrecking amendments.
The Bill received its Second Reading in the House of Lords on 3 and 4 June. In the debates loving and committed same-sex relationships were likened by some opponents to incest and bigamy. Lord Dear proposed a motion that would have effectively killed the Bill. On 4 June Lord Dear's motion was defeated by 390 votes to 148, a majority of 242.
The Bill then received comprehensive scuritny during three full days of Committee debate on the floor of the House of Lords. Veteran opponents of equality sought to rename same-sex marriage as civil unions, allow teachers to opt out of teaching facts and enshrine in law that public servants can refuse to serve gay people.
We were, however, heartened to see so many supporters articulately and calmly make the case the House to counter misleading, and often offensive, claims about gay people and their relationships for equality. Our speaking notes and intervention briefings were used repeatedly on all sides of
Thankfully, the Bill remained materially unamended despite efforts to wreck the proposals.
The second day of Report Stage took place on Wednesday 10 July. The debate, again, went late into the night as opponents of the Bill gave lengthy speeches about amendments that had already been debated, at length, at Committee Stage.
Lord Alli proposed amendments on reviewing the laws covering occupational pension schemes and same-sex couples.The Government Minister committed to discuss the potential of a review with other Ministers before Third Reading.
Lord Armstrong of Ilminster proposed an amendment which would allow for two classes of marriage - one for opposite-sex couples and one for same-sex couples - to be introduced in regulations once the Bill received Royal Assent. Many peers, rightly, took great issue with the amendment as the issue was debated at length on Monday and defeated by 314 votes to 119. Lord Armstrong withdrew his amendment.
Baroness Deech then pushed to a vote an amendment that sought to open up civil partnerships to family members and unpaid carers. We strongly opposed this amendment which sought to diminish the importance of civil partnerships and same-sex relationships. The amendment was defeated by 267 votes to 89.
Two amendments on education and schools were then debated. The first, proposed by the Bishop of Leicester, sought to provide 'clarity' for schools of a religious ethos about discussing same-sex marriage. This amendment was wholly unnecessary as it duplicated existing guidance which gives religious schools freedom to express their views on such issues. The Bishop of Leicester withdrew the amendment.
The second amendment, proposed by Earl Listowel, sought 'evidence-based' guidance to be sent to schools on the 'implication' of same-sex marriage on children. In his speech in support of the amendment Earl Listowel made gravely offensive statements about the 'risks' posed to children of same-sex parents. Stonewall strongly opposed this clear 'son of Section 28' amendment. Following a long debate the Earl of Listowel withdrew the amendment.
Lord Singh then proposed an amendment that sought to hold a referendum on same-sex marriage before the next general election. We strongly opposed this amendment which is both unnecessary but also had significant financial, and democratic, implications. After another lengthy debate Lord Singh withdrew the amendment.
Following the resounding defeat of previous wrecking amendments, peers opposed to the Bill decided not to move their amendments, including on 'freedom of expression' and the Equality Act 2010. The Government also successfully laid amendments on aspects of the Bill affecting trans people and their spouses.
The final stage in the House of Lords, Third Reading, took place on Monday 15 July. The Bill was approved by peers at Third Reading.
On 29 July 2013 the Queen gave the bill Royal Assent, it had finally completed its journey through parliament and became an Act.
In the months that followed, Stonewall and many parliamentarians have pushed the government to implement equal marriage as quickly as possible. We are particularly concerned that couples wishing to convert their civil partnerships to marriage should be able to do so as soon as possible, and without incurring any substantial costs.

- Neue Nachweise der Gerandeten Wasserspinne Dolomedes plantarius in Brandenburg (Araneae: Pisauridae) (2009)
- The great raft spider, Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757), is a rare and endangered species in Germany and other European countries. Current data on its distribution and ecology are briefly reviewed. Five new (or overlooked) localities for this spider from the Spreewald-region of Brandenburg in eastern Germany are provided, together with an updated distribution map. One record, based on the authors' own collections, is described and figured in detail, with the egg-carrying female discovered in reeds at the edge of a fairly large body of open water. Both direct and indirect protective measures for the habitats of this species in the Spreewald-region are recommended.

after looking at a misc Saiga trunion (not sure of its oigin I noticed the lugs are wider apart than a saiga 410 and more like a 308 (its not bulged and has a 22mm bore) I can almost get a 28 guage shell through there as is. It would be alot of work to get this to work with a standard bolt
the bolt is almost going to need to be long like factory on a 410 to be able to get this to feed with a shroud.
also note how the factory bolt head is reduced in the extended section so it will fit between the upper and lower guides /shrouds and rotate. Im thinking a bolt head extension pinned in, might be the ticket like on a 20 guage. it might be the trick to get a 28 guage to work as well

There is a guy on Game of Thrones, Iain Glen, who I think would make an excellent Roland.
For a better look at him, go to the HBO site, then Game of Thrones, and then cast and crew.
If you've been watching this show, what do you think?
I think he brings a certain presence to a scene, what few he is in.
Eastwood would have been all to perfect. Man. Kurt Russell or Val Kilmer maybe? Both did very well with Tombstone. You know, some people may think I'm crazy but I think Johnny Depp could pull it off.
I would really like to see Josh Brolin play Roland, I didn't realize it till I saw him recently that he is what I pictured in my head when I read the books.
I just registered only to tell you how much I agree with that! While reading the book I knew that there was someone I had seen who would make a perfect Roland with his presence and charisma but I couldn't remember who and where it was. It was just in the back of my head somewhere. Now that I watch Game of Thrones again I know it was Iain Glen. Well, we have to take Russell Crowe, I fear, anyway :/
I was seeing picture of this man and start immediately to think of Roland
Attachment 16046
Daniel Day Luis = Roland. End of discussion. Moving on....

iPhone 2.0 - 3G Settings!
We all know it's coming. Steve Jobs said so. AT&T said so. Everyone and their blog has posted so. But it's still super sweet to see Apple code confirming it!
Apple Insider (via Chronic Productions) brings word that deep delving the latest iPhone SDK firmware has yet again revealed buried treasure. This time, Beta 5 gives up the strings for 3G:
Most notable is a setting that will allow users of the second-generation iPhone -- expected for an unveiling sometime in the coming weeks -- to disable 3G access in favor of prolonging the handset's battery life. "Using 3G loads data faster, but decreases battery life," reads a caption beneath the setting toggle.
The ability to toggle 3G data on and off -- in other words, manually handle the transition -- is an interesting decision for Apple, and one they're squarely labeling the blame for on battery life.
Is this a way to cover still poorer-than-needed power efficiency on the 3G chipset? Something that may annoy users? A beta feature for people testing the mythical 3G right now inside Apple? Something that might not survive to the release version?
My guess is yes to all the above. What do you think?

Reader comments
iPhone 2.0 - 3G Settings!
Unless Apple can do more radio managment ninjary than I believe is even possible, I hope they leave the toggle option there. It's very nice to have on WinMo.
What is this WinMo you speak of?
Maybe trinary options? Off/Auto/On, whereby Auto Apple tries to manage it as automagically as possible (on for high-bandwidth content like media, off for low-bandwidth content like text?
No, wait, that's too many options, isn't it? :)
Good point!
If by "can't compete" you mean "had Mobile OS X rather than outdated Java-based mini-OS" than we agree :)

Apple purportedly releasing new Apple TV hardware in October
We admit it; talk of Apple TV gets us excited, so color us intrigued with talk of new hardware for October to accompany the rumored software update heading our way next week. On Twitter, MG Siegler grabbed our attention with this:
"I guess those excited about a software refresh in a week are gonna be really excited when new Apple TV hardware is unveiled next month."
No more, no less. It's enough ammunition to get those rumor mills churning again, but it's not unthinkable that new Apple TV hardware could be right around the corner. It's been well over a year since the last major hardware refresh – not counting the stealthy internal refresh – to the little black box, so we're at least due something. And of course, we're still anticipating Apple throwing a second, Mac and OS X focused event sometime later in the fall, where it's easily possible Apple TV could also make an appearance.
We'll be keeping our eyes peeled for sure. We know Apple has plans for their 'hobby' product, and we're as excited as anyone at the thought of a new product release. How about you; would you be down to pick up a new Apple TV pre-holidays?

Apple purportedly releasing new Apple TV hardware in October
Certainly if they update the hardware then you should. If they don't update the hardware then do it anyway. I was on the fence for a long time and then while friends from the UK were visiting I decided to purchase one. We had been talking about them and I decided to go ahead and buy. Then I bought one each for the other TV's in the house.
If they do update the hardware then I will most definitely purchase at least one for the living room and gift out the one that is there to a friend.
Items I will be purchasing between now and Christmas:
* iPad5 64gb Verizon cellular (coming October???)
* MacMini with Haswell and maxed out RAM to replace my fading iMac PowerPC stuck on 10.4 (coming Christmas???)
* The new and/or upgraded AppleTV set-top box (coming ???)
* Canon PowerShot SX60 HS (rumored to be released this month)
…and maybe a new iPod Touch (32 or 64gb, to replace my old 8gb nano)
I have an Apple TV, and while we do not use it often, it does its job very well when we do fire it up. Assuming we are talking about an update to the little black box, short of local storage -- which I doubt Apple would add, what other bits could a hardware refresh bring? Support for 4k screens seems unlikely, though 80211.ac is a definite possibility. Anybody else want to contribute hair-brained speculation?
Firstly, MG Siegler isn't the author of this piece, he's the source.
Secondly, what the other guy said. We're always excited for new hardware. That's why we're here, that's why we do this for a living. Doesn't mean you have to buy it.
We use BBC iplayer via AirPlay and it works to a reasonable extent. Its not so good when you try pause and restart playing, but I guess that is down to the BBC iplayer app. It also does not offer BBC HD as far as I know. Least not on an iPad 2. Where as a neighbour with a Samsung smart TV can get BBC HD
I would like two see two models. Keeping the current Apple TV, but make it smaller to plug directly into HDMI; like the Chromecast. Then release a new Apple TV, this would be a set top device with USB input for an external drive, inputs and outputs to create an overlay on standard TV or Bluray.
I don't see them doing a whole lot to upgrade Apple TV, I'm sure they'll either update it with dual or single core A6 (With the move to 64bit, I wouldn't be surprised to see a single core A7 either) and they could make it smaller but the Chromecast style doesn't appeal to me. It would be great if they added App Store support, or at least Safari and better iphone/ipad/mac integration. I also assume it will take on an iOS7 look.
Agreed on needing App Store support (or it's own modified version of it) soon & Safari would be cool if done correctly (browsers on SmartTVs/DVD/BluRay have been shotty at best IMO, but if anyone could make it smooth/useable it would be Apple). In terms of form factor, I agree & actually prefer the current version over a smaller ChromeCast type. It's not too big, & the all black box looks pretty slick while being unassuming. (just my opinion tho, which means fck all in the grand scheme of things)
If anyone wants to unload some of their old Apple TV hardware before a new model is released and the value declines, check out www.buymyappletv.com. They pay really well for used Apple TVs.

UPDATED: AT&T acquiring T-Mobile US, what does it mean for iPhone?
AT&T will be buying T-Mobile USA from parent company Deutsch Telekom for $39 billion in stock and cash.
"This transaction represents a major commitment to strengthen and expand critical infrastructure for our nation's future," said Randall Stephenson, AT&T Chairman and CEO. "It will improve network quality, and it will bring advanced LTE capabilities to more than 294 million people. Mobile broadband networks drive economic opportunity everywhere, and they enable the expanding high-tech ecosystem that includes device makers, cloud and content providers, app developers, customers, and more. During the past few years, America's high-tech industry has delivered innovation at unprecedented speed, and this combination will accelerate its continued growth."
Stephenson continued, "This transaction delivers significant customer, shareowner and public benefits that are available at this level only from the combination of these two companies with complementary network technologies, spectrum positions and operations. We are confident in our ability to execute a seamless integration, and with additional spectrum and network capabilities, we can better meet our customers' current demands, build for the future and help achieve the President's goals for a high-speed, wirelessly connected America."
Deutsche Telekom Chairman and CEO René Obermann said, "After evaluating strategic options for T-Mobile USA, I am confident that AT&T is the best partner for our customers, shareholders and the mobile broadband ecosystem. Our common network technology makes this a logical combination and provides an efficient path to gaining the spectrum and network assets needed to provide T-Mobile customers with 4G LTE and the best devices. Also, the transaction returns significant value to Deutsche Telekom shareholders and allows us to retain exposure to the U.S. market."
The deal could take a year to finalize and still faces regulatory approval, but it would make AT&T the largest carrier in the US by a healthy margin with almost 140 million subscribers.
AT&T was the exclusive US carrier for iPhone from 2007 through 2010 and remains the only GSM/HSPA carrier in the US to offer iPhone. While also a GSM/HSPA carrier, T-Mobile 3G operates at a different frequency than AT&T and is currently not supported by the iPhone.
How and if that will change, and whether or not Apple will support T-Mobile's 3G band in future software or hardware update remains unknown. By the time the deal closes in 2012, however, iPhone 5 will already be on the market.
In terms of consumer choice and pricing pressure, there's still only one iPhone model so selection won't be the issue. Voice prices. Data prices. Tethering prices. T-Mobile was competing with better plans at better prices. The new, combined AT&T-Mo won't do that. Likewise, Apple sells unlocked iPhones directly in Canada and many other countries. Would they do the same in the US once there's no more GSM/HSPA competition? That will depend on their contracts, no doubt.
Again, it will take a year or so for the deal to come together, and there's a lot that could still happen in the meantime. What are your thoughts? Eager to get more spectrum and better potential support for 4G, or upset at the decrease in competition and the unification of GSM/HSPA service in the US?
UPDATE: T-Mobile has put up a new release and it includes the following bullet point about iPhone. (And that iPhone gets its own bullet point shouldn't go without notice.)
s T-Mobile USA getting the iPhone? T-Mobile USA remains an independent company. The acquisition is expected to be completed in approximately 12 months. We do not offer the iPhone. We offer cutting edge devices like the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and coming soon our new Sidekick 4G.

UPDATED: AT&T acquiring T-Mobile US, what does it mean for iPhone?
Unlikely. Carrier mergers result in oligopolies, making it easier for the carriers to agree on pricing and to nickel and dime customers simply because there aren any real competitors. In Canada the mobile market is essentially held by three players, using 6 or 7 brand names. And rates have only gone up...
I think so also!
THERE WILL BE NO T-MOBILE IT WILL JUST BE AT&T. PLUS THE iPhone 5 IS "COMING" OUT THIS SUMMER AND I DOUBT THIS DEAL WILL BE DONE BY THEN. BUT THEN AGAIN... IT DOES MAKE SINCE. SO WHEN THEY MAKE THE SWITCH T-MOBILE CUSTOMERS WOULD BE READY.
Typing in all caps is not necessary. Some people take that as you yelling.
Oh sorry. I wasn't yelling. It just happened to be on caps.
Will this expand AT&T's cell coverage? I get constant dropped calls and zero bars in many areas where I live. Would AT&T buying tmobile help?
Is Carly Foulkes still going to do the commercials? If so, I'm good.
She's got nothing on Catherine Zeta Jones. Nothing.
Hoping this announcement will force T-Mo to reconsider those Gawd Awful fake-Apple commercials. Horrible, horrible marketing strategy.
At least the Apple one's were funny sometimes. My favorite was probably the one bustin' on Windows Vista User Account Control. I LOL'd.
u woke up this morning and THEN learned about Libya? where have u been for the past month?!
Wow! Really didn't see this coming, but it will hopefully be a good thing for existing ATT and TMobile customers. The main reason I left TMobile was degrading coverage in my area. I've heard it's improved though. This type of acquisition would help ATT push their 4G network nationwide hopefully before the end of 2012 of whatever their timeline was.
If I was on T Mo which I am not and AT&T made the purchase I would leave T Mo. I hate AT&T. Not only reception sucks but customer service sucks. Ma Bell as you put it could not even fix my home phone. Maybe I should thank them cause I had it disconnected for that reason and saved that bill.
Ma Bell is back.
Nah, I think this is AT&T's response to loosing iPhone exclusivity. No better way to beef up a nationwide cellular network in a jiffy than to buy a completely different and complimentary one.
I don't understand. How would u have bad service if u have tmobile now and have good service?
Wow that came out of left field I too was under the impression it was sprint was going to gobble up t-mobile......interested to see how this is going to play out
I'm pretty the incompatible GSM/CDMA technologies was at play here, not the 4G WiFi network that Sprint simply leases anyhow. Regarless, Sprint has all but pivoted to LTE and will likely have a robust LTE network operational before AT&T, which is pretty sad on AT&T's part.
Can we start making jokes about T-Mobile's ad campaign taking jabs at the iPhone being on the AT&T and Verizon Wireless network now?
Also, what does this mean for the current state of iPhones? Since they are locked to the AT&T carrier, I'm guessing that means that existing T-Mobile customers will either be upgraded to a new SIM (upon agreement to a new contract, similar to that of people who were on the Legacy AT&T Wireless, and "upgraded" to the new Wireless with AT&T) that or a new SIM will be introduced to be able to be used in iPhones?
I am an AT&T user, but feel empathy for the current T-Mobile users, as it wouldn't be too cool if T-Mobile users became AT&T users, but still couldn't use iPhones on their existing contracts...
I think Drew will have some say to that as she's currently (last time I checked) dating Justin Long (the IPhone guy). :)
It means less competition which is bad for all of us as consumers. Now I hope Apple just gives Sprint an iPhone of their very own. It shouldn't be very hard to make since they already make the Verizon CDMA version. At least that would level the field instead of Verizon and ATT ruling us all forever.
It means that, despite the ongoing litany of complaints about AT&T infrastructure, coverage, and quality, they just couldn't see anything else, darn it, where they could spend a spare $39 billion.
Paying $39 Billion for an already running, technologically complimentary nationwide wireless network is probably a lot easier and more efficient way for AT&T to instantly enhance their own nationwide wireless network then pouring all that money into flushing out their existing network with all new construction subject to the whims of permitting delays, resource availability, and endless Not-In-My-Backyard related holdups.
Plus, they also get the entirety of T-Mobile USA's subscriber base in the deal. Had they spend the money on their own network they wouldn't have netted them ANY guaranteed extra income to make it worthwhile.
So this is good, if you are an AT&T customer wanting better service.
But then again, it's also bad, as it likely means your cell bill is going to go up; because AT&T isn't going to spend $39 billion dollars doubling the cell towers you can connect through without asking you to help pay for it. Kind of like when every time Dish or DirecTV add more channels you don't watch (or, if you are lucky, some you do), they sorta expect you to pay for them.
Not to mention their will be one less competitor (and NO remaining GSM alternatives) to help keep their prices down.
Motorola can't spend the kind of money on advertising that Apple does
Motorola's profit last quarter was $21 million. That doesn't leave much room for a huge advertising budget to compete with Apples Billions. I would like to see Best Buy create a tablet section similar to the area where all erreaders are housed.
Maybe they should build phones so outrageously compelling that they can mark them up and sell them for prices high enough to generate the insane profit margins that allow Apple to have so much extra cash on hand. Kinda like when their Razors were all the rage. Only, you know, for the 2010's.
Sounds great to me. The reduction in competition doesn't worry me, since it's been a two company fight for a long time now, but it gives AT&T a marketing boost. Unfortunately, these cellular mergers take a long, long time to integrate completely. In the short term, it will be a drain on AT&T's resources.
That makes since from a corporate standpoint, but from a consumer standpoint, its still one less option...one less more affordable option.
When one company acquires another, it must honor all the contracts and agreements the former company had gotten itself into. Barring any bankruptcy shenanigans.
That doesn't mean, of course, that they aren't allowed to change the terms they offer new customers not already in contract; or that they are necessarily compelled to extend any of the previous company's expiring contracts on the same legacy terms.
Im hope the merger or buy-out falls through. I cant stand ATT customer service or lack thereof. I tried and left cingular and ATT years ago because the reps could never give me a clear answer to my basic questions and the reps were very rude and disrespectful. I been with tmo for almost 5 years and have been very happy and impressed with how knowledgeable and courteous the reps are. I hope that if this deal goes through the tmo reps rub off on the att ones.
Odd that Deutsche Telekom specifically said "We do not offer the iPhone." And if they don't change their frequency, they never will. I'm hoping that this deal will add iPhone-compatible frequencies to the former T-Mobile cell network while retain the odd 1700MHz frequency for legacy (e.g. non-iPhone) customers.
If T-Mobile's recent decline is due to iPhone stealing their customers, the last thing they would want to do is to shut out iPhone in favor of inferior Android products. But, obviously, none of us knows enough about the deal to know anything yet.
I'm pretty excited for this. This is unexpected. I always wondered what would happen if AT&T ever brought T-Mobile but I never thought it would happen. I hope this means better coverage and reliability. AT&T STILL has dead zones in outer New York city. On my commute from the city , if I happen to be on a phone call or on the Internet my call gets drooped and my Internet gets interrupted in the sane exact area, never fails.
The only thing I hope for is that AT&T and T-Mobile plans merge. Maybe have unlimited everything like Sprint does and Verizon doesn't. Im not sure about T-Mobile's plans but i know they're cheaper. I hope things like that change. Verizon has been buying companies left and right , I think this is a really big buy and positive move for AT&T.
I suppose the only downside is that this is going to take a year to come together. At first I thought it would happen before iPhone 5.
I predicted that T-Mobile will get the iPhone this summer. Cingular got the iPhone before it became AT&T so maybe T-Mobile will get it before it becomes AT&T.
I hope we get FaceTime over 3G out of this!
so ATT is also partially merging with Verizon, taking over some of VZN coverage areas...my friend just received this in an email minutes ago...(directly from ATT site)http://www.att.com/mergers/divestverizon/
Obi-Wan: "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."
I'm really hoping for unlocked iPhones in the usa. Since we also know that future iPhones will be universal for both GSM and CDMA networks, and Verizon and now T-Mobile will have access to them in addition to AT&T, there should really be little reason left for locking phones. More carriers have them than not have them. I just want to be able to switch sim cards when I travel in Asia
I like that idea but i would really like it if they would go back to unlimited data plans at the same time because think about it if all those people are gonna get a service that's supposed to be better and get better service well people are gonna want smart phone and unlimited data and att will lose allot of money if they do not get there act together .. What they could do is they don't have to not offer it they could just give a data plan to customers then they tell there customers that if they want a data plan to give them there 200 MB or what ever and They should have unlimited but you have to ask for it that would be totally fair because allot of people are saying att is bad because of that huge main reason so they need to do something like my idea for instance .. I approve of this Message :-)
my thoughts is that you dont have to wait to get an t-mobile iphone/ go to www.smartphonejunkyard.com and by the new chip to unlock called the gevey
How long will it take t mobile to get an iphone, because i have an upgrade soon and i want an i phone 4 without having to buy a 600$ phone then jailbreak it for it to possible to use on my servie

BOSTON — The House of Representatives on Wednesday repealed the much maligned "tech tax" that had been part of the revenue package in this year's state budget.
The addition of the 6.25 percent sales tax to software and computer design services had been estimated to raise $161 million this fiscal year but ran into trouble when no one could adequately explain how it would be implemented. The state's high-tech industry revolted, saying the tax would cost jobs and that its wording was too vague.
"I'm proud of the House's vote today to repeal the so-called tech tax. Our vote sends a strong message to the world that Massachusetts is the place for innovators to succeed and thrive," said House Speaker Robert DeLeo.
"Because jobs and economic growth are central to the House's agenda, I promised to listen to business leaders and House members on what the tax's impact would be when this measure was initially passed. After listening, we learned of the burden of this tax. Our strong commitment to business and the innovation economy led to its repeal."
The vote was 156-1. The Senate is expected to vote for repeal on Thursday.
The Berkshire Chamber passed on this information:
The state House budget committee on Thursday approved an unemployment insurance rate freeze bill that aides say would hit employers with per-employee average increase of $110 per year but spare businesses from a rate schedule with even higher rates. More Massachusetts residents have been relying on the fund during the recession for cash benefits and the fund will need years of federal loans to keep benefits flowing.
Unemployment in Massachusetts hit 9.4 percent in December. Patrick administration officials said last year they were considering a rate relief plan but no proposal has been filed and steep unemployment insurance rate hikes are scheduled to trigger in the spring, unless legislators and Patrick agree to a new schedule.
"Freezing the rate is an appropriate step at least based on the numbers that I've seen," John Regan of Associated Industries of Massachusetts, an employer trade group, told the Statehouse News Service on Thursday morning. "We'd clearly like to see systemic reform as well, not that we're ungrateful for the step that's being taken." The House gave the bill initial approval Thursday morning and it could receive further attention in the afternoon.
The Berkshire Chamber of Commerce will keep you informed on this topic. If you have any questions, call 413-499-4000.

Brady tries to save face, Will comes to terms with what happened to Nick, and Anne visits the Horton's.
In the park, Will tells Arianna how he will protect her. Sonny joins him and agrees, explaining the choices he made were for her protection. Nothing's going to bring Nick back and he doesn't want Arianna's mother to go to prison after witnesses saw Gabi screaming at Nick in the square. Will's sorry Sonny's in another mess but Sonny recognizes that Will's family is doing right by Gabi.
At the apartment, EJ reminds Kate that everyone's freedom is on the line and promises to have someone break into her home to steal all of her clothing and shoes if she doesn't stop arguing about her boots. Gabi gets a call about Club TBD being swamped for New Year's Eve and EJ and Sami rush off to help. Alone, Kate asks Gabi to stay positive so they can get through this. Gabi hugs Will apologetically when he returns with Sonny and Arianna. Kate offers to watch Arianna with Gabi so they can go to Club TBD. After, Gabi pours them a drink to ring in the New Year together.
At the hospital, Jenn thinks Anne has another thing coming if she plans to fire Abby. Anne shoves Abby's paperwork in Jenn's face to prove she didn't sabotage a Horton. Jenn rushes off as Anne yells after her asking where she got the idea that she was shredding the paperwork.
At the Brady Pub, JJ talks to Liam about his mother's involvement with Daniel and how in love she was. Liam's concerned when JJ changes the subject and starts to discuss his legal problems. He doesn't want Liam to tell Jenn what they were discussing when she returns. She pulls JJ aside and promises Abby's going to be fine but he's not. She knows what he's doing by trying to keep her from her date and wants him to respect her. JJ reluctantly leaves, upset that he's messed things up. Jenn rejoins Liam and apologizes. She makes an effort to explain how she's working through her feelings after losing her husband. Maybe New Year's Eve is too much pressure for a first date and Liam recommends they try to get together next year.
Before leaving the Horton's, Abby gets Cameron's text that he's still thinking of her. She claims she received a text from work and can't go to the party with her friend, who then leaves. Abby wipes her tears away when Anne arrives beating on the door while looking for Jenn. She's there to deal with whoever is spreading lies about her but Abby shows her out. She gives JJ a hard time when he arrives home, knowing he was responsible for Anne's visit.
Nicole screams for Brady, Daniel and Eric to stop after a brawl breaks out outside of the Kiriakis home. Brady gets loose and puts Nicole in a headlock. He lets her go and starts apologizing. Daniel won't let him fail and Eric offers to take him to a meeting. Brady makes it clear that he wants to tell Maggie himself. Privately, he tells Eric how sorry he is before leaving to change. Eric watches as Nicole fusses with Daniel's scrapes before they leave.
In the square, Brady gives Eric a line about only members being welcome at the meeting and they part ways. Brady heads off in the opposite direction of the meeting. Later, Eric returns to meet Brady and learns the meeting broke up and he wasn't there.
EJ and Sami arrive at Club TBD and don aprons. Sami rushes to Will when he arrives and holds him tight while crying. He understands and promises they will figure something out. He wonders what time it is, knowing the New Year is close. Sami tries to make out like 2013 wasn't that bad. She rejoins EJ and Will makes it to Sonny's side at the bar in time for the countdown.
At Daniel's, Nicole recommends he let her take care of him as she bandages him up. They hear the fireworks and she wishes him a Happy New Year with a peck on the cheek.
Liam wishes Jenn a Happy New Year when they hear the fireworks as they reach her door. He gives her a kiss on the cheek and she just smiles.
In the park, JJ and Abby watch the fireworks together and decide being with each other is enough for both of them. Elsewhere, Brady scores some drugs from his dealer.

Senior Kasey Tydingco (Fairfield, Calif.) was dominant at the plate in both games, going a combined 5-for-6 with four RBI and two runs scored. Along with Tydingco, five more Lady Mocs registered multiple hits, including Sara Poteat (Thomaston, Ga.), Sarah Beth Roberts (Mt. Juliet, Tenn.) and Tyler Templet (Woodstock, Ga.) with three each.
Starter Kaisey Carson (Indianapolis, Ind.) dealt her first collegiate win and Chattanooga's first complete game of the season against ISU. The freshman allowed just four hits, while sophomore Taylor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.) and freshman Rachel Albritton (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) combined to one-hit Tennessee State in the second game.
Chattanooga 9 - Indiana State 2
Chattanooga attacked the ball early in the first inning with four hits and four runs to jump out to a 4-0 lead on the Sycamores. Senior Poteat led things off after being hit by a pitch and moved into scoring position as freshman Sam Taylor (Chickamauga, Ga.) grounded out. Anyssa Robles doubled to center field in the next at-bat to put the Lady Mocs on the board. Tydingco followed up with an RBI single to drive in the freshman catcher. A Stephanie Rieck (Chandler, Ariz.) single to center put runners on first and second, and Carson reached on an error to drive in another run. The Lady Mocs wrapped up the scoring in the first inning with Templet singling in a runner.
While both team were scoreless through the second and third innings, Indiana State got on the board in the top of the fourth with two runs. Giving up three of just four hits for the entire game in that innings, Carson ran into her only bump in the road. A sacrifice fly and RBI single from Indiana State right fielder Halee Myers and left fielder Megan Bunting, respectively, cut the UTC lead to 4-2.
After a scoreless fifth inning, the Chattanooga bats came alive again in the sixth with a five-run inning. Carson began the inning with a walk and Templet reached on another ISU error. A sacrifice bunt from Alyssa Taylor (Orange, Calif.) moved runners up a base and Poteat singled to right to drive in both runners. Pinch hitting for Sam Taylor, Amanda Ross (Torrance, Calif.) walked to put two on. Sophomore Roberts singled to second base to plate Poteat and another Tydingco hit brought Roberts and Ross around to score.
Carson went the distance with seven innings pitched, allowing only four hits and two runs. The freshman stayed ahead of Sycamore batters, walking none and striking out two. Carson faced just 26 batters.
On offense -along with Tydingco's 4-for-4 performance- Poteat, Robles, Roberts, Rieck, Templet, Carson and both Taylor each recorded hits. Tydingco accounted for three runs while Poteat drove in two. Robles, Roberts and Templet each batted in a runner.
Chattanooga -- - Tennessee State --
The Lady Mocs fell behind 1-0 in the first inning after Tennessee State was able to capitalize on a couple of walks issued by starting pitcher Rachel Albritton (Murfreesboro, Tenn.). Despite striking out TSU's Audrey Sensing, the final strike bounced away from Robles and required the catcher to throw to first for the out. While Sensing was out at first, Kiarra Freeman took advantage of the throw and scored on the play.
Chattanooga struck back in the bottom half of the inning, driving in six runs on six hits. The first six batters in the lineup reached by either hit or walk. Poteat reached on a bunt and Sam Taylor singled through the left side to put two runners on. Robles walked to load the bases and Roberts drove in the first Chattanooga run on a single to left. Tydingco and Rieck followed up with back-to-back hits to drive in one runner each. Templet later singled in another run before Poteat reached on an error to score another run.
The Lady Mocs added on three more runs in the fourth inning as Poteat tripled with one out. With Jenny Garcia (Miami, Fla.) entering to pinch hit for Sam Taylor, the redshirt freshman hammered a near-homerun off of the left field fence. Garcia pulled into second with a double and Poteat scored on the hit. Robles walked in the next at-bat and Roberts singled to drive in Garcia. Rieck then reached on a fielder's choice, and a fielding error committed by the left fielder allowed Robles to score.
Up 9-1 in the fifth, Chattanooga shut the Tigers out in the top of the fifth inning to end the game. The only TSU hit came in the fifth when Kacie Daugherty singled to the shortstop.
The win is Deason's second of the season as she improves to 2-3, leading Chattanooga pitchers in wins.
Chattanooga wraps up the Tiger Invitational Sunday at 3 p.m. as it takes on the hosting Auburn Tigers. The Lady Mocs return to Chattanooga next weekend to host the Frost Classic Inspired by Memorial. Live stats and audio are available free and begin 10 minutes before first pitch.


text: Well, looks like my BJJ run is over. My wife just got out of nursing school and took a job which has her working nights. So this throws my training schedule way off. I will still be in Muay thai and boxing but BJJ just falls on the wrong nights. I hate it but it is what it is. The most important thing to me is that my step son still continues to train. I mean, I'm 35....I'm not looking to be the next big thing...haha! I'll just continue to train with him and as he gets older, it will be just like being in class pretty much.

When the Sam's Club Membership and Hiring Center officially opened at 8 a.m. on Monday near USC Aiken, there was a long line of job seekers waiting outside.
"It went from the front entrance to way back where the trees are," said Gerald Raymond, who will be the manager of Aiken's first Sam's Club, which is under construction on the City's west side.
By 10:30 a.m., nearly 100 people had visited the center and completed job applications, Raymond estimated.
"We actually had folks coming in with their resumes last week while we were still setting up," he said.
The center is located at 156 University Parkway in Suites 101-103. It is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. People also can apply for jobs online at www.SamsClub.com/careers.
"Obviously, we want to get the best candidates that we can possibly find," Raymond said. "The biggest thing is that we're looking for a mix of people. We have a variety positions available, from stockers to cashiers to managers."
Plans call for hiring 175 associates. The Aiken store is scheduled to open in the fall at 220 Jefferson Davis Highway.
Area residents also can sign up for Sam's Club memberships at the center.
Judy Jones of Gloverville was waiting patiently to use one of the nine computer terminals at the center to file her job application.
"I've been out of work for three months and I haven't been able to get anything, so I'm searching everywhere," she said. "I've been looking from Columbia to Augusta, and it's hard. There are a lot of people who are out of work."
Chris Robinson, who recently earned an associate's degree from Denmark Technical College, also showed up to apply for a Sam's Club position. He plans to move to Aiken soon.
"It's great opportunity," Robinson said. "A lot of doors can open from working at Sam's Club."
Antionette Williamson of Aiken was hoping for a brighter future.
"I was at Home Depot, but things didn't work out," she said. "Maybe things will work out for me better at Sam's Club. I think it's a place where I can start down low and hopefully rise to the top."
Aiken County Council Chairman Ronnie Young dropped by the center to attend its ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"We're certainly glad to have Sam's Club in town," Young said. "We need the jobs, and we have a quality workforce here that is second to none."
Sam's Club, a chain of membership-only retail warehouse clubs, is a division of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior Derrick Lott has been granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA. Lott started the first four games for the Mocs at defensive tackle before an elbow injury at Georgia Southern ended his season.
Lott was a preseason first team All-Southern Conference selection and on the College Football Performance Awards Watch List for defensive tackles heading into the 2013 campaign. He was also listed as the No. 6 defensive tackle and among the top 100 players in the FCS in Phil Steele's 2013 preview.
Lott had 17 tackles and 2.5 TFLs before being knocked out of the Georgia Southern game. He had a career-high three quarterback hurries at Georgia State and eight tackles in the season opener against UT Martin.
A native of Kennesaw, Ga., Lott transferred to Chattanooga from Georgia and was a second team All-SoCon performer as a junior in 2012. He was fourth on the team with 57 tackles, including 15 in one game against Georgia Southern.
Chattanooga welcomes back a loaded defensive front next season. Davis Tull is the two-time reigning SoCon Defensive Player of the Year and is back on the end. Keionta Davis returns to the other end after garnering SoCon All-Freshman recognition in 2013. All-SoCon performer Josh Freeman, along with returning starter Daniel Ring and letterman Toyvian Brand, is back on the interior.

The Elements of a Brit Bat
Despite the relative newness and great varieties of welcoming ceremonies for girls, a basic structure appears to have emerged.
By Debra Nussbaum Cohen
We Also Recommend
One of the wonderful things about planning a brit bat (or a welcoming ceremony of another name for a Jewish girl) is that in many ways the family can choose from a wide range of options–or even craft their own ceremony. As a relatively new lifecycle ritual, though one rooted in ancient tradition, this event has neither a fixed form nor predetermined content, which means that if you are planning a ceremony for a new daughter, you can it to reflect the family's personality and orientation toward Judaism.
That being said, over the three decades that parents have been welcoming their daughters with ceremonies meant in some way to parallel that of brit milah for boys (that is, to give equal weight to the birth of a daughter), a certain loose structure has emerged. It is one which makes logical sense, and follows the flow of elements in other Jewish lifecycle rituals, including brit milah.
Here are the most common elements and their order:
· A song. Singing together is a powerful way to create a sense of holy space, to distinguish the time of the ceremony from that which preceded it, and to bring everyone together in fellowship. Someone leads people in a Jewish traditional wordless tune, called a niggun, which is easy for people to join in on, or a contemporary Jewish or meaningful secular song.
· An introduction welcoming everyone to this joyous occasion. This is a time to outline what guests should expect and note the presence of honored people in attendance–rabbis, special friends and relatives, and anyone else who has had a notable role in the baby's first weeks of life.
· Hebrew welcome: The Hebrew words "Brucha ha-ba'ah b'shem Adonai–Welcome in the name of the Creator," is usually recited by the person leading the welcoming ceremony, or by all the assembled guests, to greet the baby as she is carried into the room.
· Blessings of thanksgiving by the baby's parents: Birkat haGomel, the prayer of thanksgiving for having come through a potentially life-threatening passage, is traditionally said by a woman after childbirth. It is customarily said the first Shabbat that the mother has gone to synagogue after the baby is born, after reciting the blessing over the Torah reading. If she hasn't done this already, the mother can recite Birkat haGomel now.
