Geysers of the
Geysers of
by Ralph Taylor
As many
of you may know, I have had a research permit for the past four years to
monitor geyser activity using electronic data loggers. For those years I also assisted Tim
Thompson, the Geothermal Technician, by downloading and redeploying the
National Park Service data loggers late in the season after Tim left the
Park. This summer one of my jobs as an
NPS volunteer for Nancy Hinman was the deployment and management of the NPS
data loggers in addition to my own loggers.
At the start of the summer we had 16 loggers between my loggers and the
NPS loggers. Over the course of this
summer we acquired several more; the total is now 29 loggers, 25 of which are
currently in use (the other four just arrived).
a little introduction to data logger terminology is in order. A data logger is a device that
records some kind of information (in our case, temperature) at user-specified
intervals. The logger itself uses a
single chip microcomputer and a memory chip to record the data as
required. The sensor for the loggers we
use is a thermistor, an electrical resistor with the property that the
resistance to electrical current varies with temperature. The logger measures the temperature by
measuring the resistance of the thermistor and uses a calibration chart or
equation to determine the actual temperature.
The logger is deployed by placing the thermistor in a location
where the runoff water from an eruption or overflow passes over the
sensor. The logger itself is located in
a sheltered location nearby. The NPS
requires that data loggers on front country features be placed out of sight, so
we typically bury the logger in sinter sand, cover it with rocks or logs, or
otherwise attempt (usually with fair success) to keep it out of sight.
logger must be launched to start its task of data collection. To launch the logger, the logger is
connected to a computer using a serial port cable. Software provided by the logger manufacturer communicates with
the logger and allows the user to specify the intervals at which the
temperature is measured, whether to log temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit, and to specify a title for the data set that is collected. Once launched, the logger samples the
temperature at the specified intervals and stores the information in its
appropriate intervals the data in the logger must be collected. This is downloading, and is done by
connecting the logger to a computer using the serial cable and performing the download
using the software provided by the manufacturer. Some of the loggers we are using can be downloaded and relaunched
using a pocket-sized shuttle that transfers the data from the logger to
the shuttle memory and relaunches the logger.
The shuttle must then be connected to a computer to recover the data.
data collected by the download process is in a binary file in a format defined
by the logger manufacturer. The logger
software that we use can graph the temperature as a function of time, allowing
zoom and pan to examine any portion of the data closely. The temperature data can also be exported as
a text file containing date, time, and temperature data.
For most
geysers the temperature graph is fairly easy to interpret. For example, the graph shown at the right is
from Grand Geyser using the Hobo Pro data logger that GOSA purchased for the
Old Faithful Interpreters. The graph
clearly shows two eruptions of Grand Geyser (the two tall narrow peaks), followed
by Vent and Turban afterplay. Next, there
is a period of no overflow, then a shorter peak (about 40°C)
caused by the Vent and Turban restart.
Finally, the long period of inactivity follows, and then the Turban
cycles are visible once overflow resumes.
zoom capability allows one to look at just a portion of the graph, for example,
the actual eruption start, and to determine the time accurately. The graph shown at the right is the first
eruption from the previous graph with the actual temperature points
marked. From the graph it is clear that
the time of the sharp rise in temperature was 11:08. The actual start time of the eruption must be compared with the
time from the logger to determine time lag from when the eruption starts until
the hot water reaches the sensor (for Grand, the sensor is under the boardwalk,
and water takes well over a minute to reach the sensor). Electronic times are recorded in the OFVC
logbook with an "E" after the time to show that the times are derived from a
data logger. These times are not
corrected for lag, and are also affected by the sample time interval. For Grand, we generally sample at 30 second
intervals, so the electronically detected start time may be an additional 30
seconds late. These lag and sample time
errors affect the actual start time detected, but do not affect the calculation
of intervals and averages.
of eruption times by examining the graph is time consuming and is impractical
with almost 30 loggers deployed, some on geysers that erupt more than 30 times
a day like Plume. Over the years that I
have been using loggers, I have written software to detect the eruptions
automatically, and this allows the information from each week's downloads to be
analyzed and summarized in about one (long) day. The summary statistics are the maximum, minimum, mean (average),
and median interval for the past week, month, and season. The median value is the value that is the
middle value in a sorted list of the intervals. The median is often more indicative of the "typical" interval
than the arithmetic average, since one or two exceptionally long or short
intervals can shift the mean, but the median is not so affected. The summary table is kept under the glass in
the "ice cream window" at the Visitor Center and is posted on the GOSA website.
Now that
we have covered all the boring details of how these gadgets work, let's look at
some results. For this article we will
discuss only the results for the 2000 summer season; the results from previous
years will have to wait for a future article.
are monitors on 19 front-country geysers at this writing. Some have been in place since May, others
were acquired during the summer and have only been in place a month or so. This article covers only the highlights; a
more in-depth examination is more suited for a GOSA Transactions
I have
had an interest in Geyser Hill for many years, and my research permit is
primarily aimed at monitoring activity there.
There are loggers on Aurum, Lion, Little Cub, Depression, Plume, Plate,
and Boardwalk Geysers.
As we
have come to expect, dry weather resulted in long and erratic intervals for
this geyser. The logger was first
deployed in late June after the wet weather ended. There were only a handful of intervals in the usual "short
interval" range of 2:30 to 2:45, (six under 2:35, and only 24 between 2:35 and
3:00. During the previous few years,
these short intervals have been much more common, and recurred for a few days
following heavy rain. This year, even
after rainfall, the sub-2:45 intervals did not occur. There were ten intervals over eight hours, one reaching 11:58 on
4 August. For the three months for
which data is available there was a slight trend to increased intervals, with a
few periods of a 2-3 days of shorter intervals following wet weather.
We had
an autumn snow starting on 21 September, with about a foot of accumulation at
Old Faithful (and with most of the roads closed for a day). Starting at midnight on the 22nd,
about the time the snow started to accumulate, Aurum's intervals dropped to
between 2 hours 31 minutes and four hours.
The short intervals only continued until the snow melted; long intervals
resumed at noon on 24 September.
logger on Lion has a most unfriendly environment, as the logger is immersed in
very hot water on every eruption. I had
one logger destroyed here, but the current logger, in a waterproof case, has
survived for both 1999 and 2000 so far.
This summer's activity was fairly uniform, with only a few really long
intervals between series—two intervals in late July were well over 12 hours,
but the great majority of initial eruption to initial eruption intervals were
between six and ten hours, with the median series interval being 7:29. The intervals between series gradually
decreased from about 8:30 early in the summer to the present average of around
seven hours.
The big
change this summer from the behavior in the past few years was the total
absence of long series. The longest
series recorded was five eruptions, and there were only three of these, all of
which included a minor eruption. Fully
58% of the series consisted of two eruptions.
As has been the case for the three years that I have monitored Lion,
there is only a weak relationship between the number of eruptions in a series
and the following interval.
Cub is a good example of where a data logger can reveal information about a
geyser that is often seen but not often recorded. The logbook has large numbers of "in eruption" and "near start"
notations, so there are few intervals available from that source, and almost
none during the night hours. With the
data logger it is possible to record intervals and durations with pretty good
accuracy (the end of the eruption is difficult to determine exactly from the
temperature record).
year, Little Cub's intervals have been fairly steady at about 1 hour 22 minutes
all summer, until late September. Early
in the season, until about the first of August, there were occasional short
intervals, some under one hour, which tended to occur in the afternoon between
12:00 and 18:00. This trend to a
diurnal pattern early in the season has been apparent in 1998 and 1999, to a
greater extent than in 2000. After
early August, there was a cyclic variation of intervals with a period for the
whole cycle of about one week, plus or minus a day or two. The periods of longer intervals appeared to
coincide (within a day or so) with SMax as indicated by eruptions of Little
8 September there was a cycle with noticeably longer intervals, and especially
with an absence of short intervals. The
intervals returned to normal 1:25 or so until 19 September when there was an
interval of 1:51 recorded, followed by two days (again, the snow days…) when
the intervals rose to about 1:40. The
graph at right shows the Little Cub intervals for September. Note the large peak (with one interval at
almost three hours). It is not certain
that there was no eruption at that time, but there is no trace of it on the temperature
The data
show that Little Cub has had its short intervals (below 1:15) between 12:00 and
18:00, and its long intervals (over 1:35) between 14:00 and 22:00. These are a few interesting anomalies for
research minded geyser gazers to ponder.
the summer of 2000,Depression Geyser was very regular, with a median interval
of 5:59 and a standard deviation of just 27 minutes. The great majority of intervals fell between 5:30 and 6:45. As usual, the long intervals were associated
with strong west winds. There appears
to be a cyclic variation of intervals with about a three-day period, but the
trend is not strong. Recorded durations
were all in the four-minute range.
has been steady at about 40 minutes for the whole season. The daily range in intervals tends to be
within a 12-minute spread. There was a
trend to shorter intervals during the last two weeks of June (monitoring
started on 16 June), then the intervals stabilized in the 38-minute daily
median range. There is a noticeable but
small (about 3 minute) variation in the intervals on a three to five day cycle;
the minimum intervals tend to occur around the time of Little Squirt
eruptions. A few instances of long
intervals associated with heavy rain (apparently due to cold rainwater entering
the system) occurred. There were no
Giantess eruptions, and no other geysers appear to have affected Plume's
intervals. A pronounced dip in intervals
to less than 40 minutes around 8 September did not appear to correlate with any
other monitored geyser activity. The
intervals rose over the following week to about 44 minutes, and then returned
to 41 minutes or so late in the week. A
similar dip in intervals occurred on 20-21 September, followed by a gradual
increase in intervals to 43 minutes by the 23rd, with some intervals
as long as 50 minutes by the 25th.
On the 23rd and 24th the intervals varied from 37
to 47 minutes. It is interesting to
note that the sudden changes in Plume's intervals occurred at about the same time
as the sudden changes in Little Cub's intervals.
two geysers are closely related spatially, lying about 10 meters apart along a
fracture line leading toward Giantess.
They also exhibited closely related activity this summer. Plate Geyser had two oddities in its
otherwise regular intervals this summer.
First, there were occasional long intervals for the first month that I
had a logger on Plate. These occurred
at approximately weekly intervals.
During that time, Boardwalk was being seen infrequently. Logbook entries for Boardwalk corresponded
with long Plate intervals and with one short interval of just 12 minutes.
graph nearby shows the Plate Geyser activity for the summer. The intervals were consistent except for two
short intervals until late July, when long intervals became more common. For the part of June and most of July the
intervals hovered around 1:30, then began to climb to 2:00 where they remained,
varying cyclically at about weekly intervals.
This variation may have been related to SMax (shown by the dots
at the top of the graph). It appears
that the longer intervals tended to occur near SMax.
In August I acquired another
logger and deployed it on Boardwalk Geyser.
Once results from that logger were available it was clear that all of
the long intervals of Plate Geyser were coincident with Boardwalk eruptions,
and that the occasional very short intervals of Plate occurred when Boardwalk
either began or ended its eruptions during a Plate eruption. Not every instance of Plate and Boardwalk
concerted eruptions resulted in the odd double eruptions of Plate, but many
graph to the right is the temperature graph of both Plate and Boardwalk,
showing how the Boardwalk eruption coincides with the Plate short
interval. The top trace corresponds to
the right scale and represents Plate Geyser; the bottom trace is Boardwalk
Geyser. In this case, Boardwalk started
first at about 18:55, then Plate started at 19:06. When Boardwalk ended at 19:11, Plate paused for two minutes,
then restarted. Using the same
combination of the two curves it became clear that Boardwalk's eruptions caused
Plate to have longer intervals following Boardwalk's eruptions.
Over the
course of the summer, Plate's intervals show a gradual but continuous increase
from about 1:30 in June to about 2:30 in late September. The Plate Geyser durations have also
increased, from about six minutes in June to about 6:15 in September. Boardwalk's intervals have varied wildly,
ranging from 8 to 32 hours with no discernable pattern.
are data loggers on Castle, Daisy, Grand, Grotto, and Oblong Geysers. The following sections briefly discuss the
Castle logger was deployed rather late in the season, so we have data from only
August and September. During that time,
Castle's intervals have remained firmly at just over 12 hours excluding minor
eruptions. There were four intervals
between 13 and 14 hours, and one at 11:30, but the rest were between 11:40 and
12:30. There have been 17 minors
between 13 August and 26 September. The
interval from the minor to the subsequent major eruption ranged from 3:12 to
10:09 with the mean interval being 6:33.
The mean interval between the first two major eruptions following the
minor was 12:58, or just about one hour longer than the normal intervals. We hope to maintain a data logger on Castle
for the whole winter, so any seasonal change should be captured.
Geyser has been quite steady at about two hours. There have been occasional intervals of as much as five hours (on
17 May) and numerous intervals between 2:25 and 2:30, mostly before 20
June. There were also several long
intervals (2:30 to 3:15) on 4 and 5 August.
The only recent long interval was 3:22 on 17 September at 10:19. On the whole, Daisy has been quite regular,
rarely falling outside the prediction window.
Grand Geyser, on the other
hand, has been difficult to predict this summer. It had a very sudden change in interval from about 14 hours to
about 9 hours on 30 July, then just as suddenly switched back to about 14 hours
on 28 August. The intervals declined
again, but this time gradually over a week's time starting on 14 September, but
then reverted to 14 hours on 26 September.
Note also in the graph that there was a noticeable shift from 12 hours
to 14 hours at the end of June. There
were a few technical problems with the logger that caused us to miss several
eruptions; the gaps were filled in by data provided by Mary Beth Schwarz and
Heinrich Koenig.
logger on Grotto Geyser showed that there have been marathon eruptions about
every other day. On one occasion, on 7
and 8 September, there were consecutive "marathon" eruptions of 14:32 and 13:55
duration respectively. Apart from this
one occasion, "marathon" eruptions were separated by four or five "normal"
Geyser has had an unusual summer. The
data logger has been deployed since 13 July.
During that time, Oblong has been erupting in series, with from one to
five eruptions in a series. For most of
the summer the series were two eruptions long, with the second eruption
following the first by about three hours.
After 22 July, the intervals between series ranged between 16 and 52
hours, much to the dismay of Oblong fans.
The graph shows the scatter of the intervals clearly.
interesting trend was the appearance of longer series starting on 17
September. There was a series of five
eruptions on 25 September, the last series for which data is available at this
writing. Could the increase in series
length be somehow related to the emergence of Giant from its period of
loggers are deployed on Fountain Geyser, Great Fountain Geyser, and Silex
Spring at present. The loggers on
Fountain Geyser and Silex Spring were deployed after the initial eruptions of
Silex Spring once some loggers became available. I will not discuss the Silex Spring results here since another
article covers that subject.
some initial technical difficulties, we have a data logger on Fountain
Geyser. The data only covers the period
from 19 August to late September. In
brief, Fountain's intervals varied widely, ranging from 4:00 to 11:30. There was a definite increase in intervals
in late August (between 27 and 31 August) from just over seven hours to about
eight hours. The median intervals have
remained around eight hours through September, and the shortest intervals have
been about seven hours.
July, Great Fountain maintained median intervals around 10:30 with numerous
intervals over 13 hours. During August
and early September the long intervals jumped to as much as 16:30 on several
occasions, and for much of this time a 90% prediction window was plus or minus
three hours. On 21 September, Great
Fountain went into "wild phase" eruptions for at least five days. This wild phase was preceded by two
eruptions only 4:18 apart, occurring at 06:41 and 10:59. NPS personnel or geyser gazers witnessed
neither eruption as far as I can tell, so we do not really know what these
eruptions were like. Interestingly, the
wild phase that started on 21 February also began with two eruptions about four
hours apart.
and Lone Pine Geysers were monitored for most of the summer. Data loggers have also been deployed on some
less well-known geysers this summer, but I am unable to discuss these because
of space.
Geyser has been monitored for many years.
In the past two years Echinus has stopped its regular intervals of under
an hour and has become a relatively unpredictable geyser. The data logger showed an interesting
pattern of eruption intervals, as shown in the graph below.
The tall spikes on the graph
represent long intervals, some over five hours. A detailed look at the temperature record revealed that these
long intervals were actually a "normal" 1:45 interval that had several temperature
peaks that correspond to periods of overflow and boiling. These "false start" events each result in a
delay of just about an hour. The really
long intervals had four or five of these overflow events.
period between 15 July and 25 July was the period immediately following a
basin-wide Disturbance. Note that
Echinus became quite regular for these two weeks, and then resumed its erratic
behavior. By about 5 August, Echinus
had settled into a pattern of a day or so of regular 1:45 intervals, followed
by three or four days of erratic, long intervals interspersed with shorter
intervals. The periodicity of the long
intervals is an intriguing puzzle at present.
Grigg and I have been monitoring Lone Pine Geyser for several seasons now. Generally, the intervals average 16 hours,
with some long and short intervals (over an hour longer or shorter) early in
the summer, then periods of stable intervals.
This summer from 4 July until late September the intervals were all
between 15:30 and 17:00. Late in
September one very long (22-hour) interval occurred on 22 September. Perhaps coincidentally, this was during the
12-inch snowstorm. A period of a week
in mid-September and another period in late September are unrecorded since a
coyote decided to munch the wire leading to the thermistor. I replaced the thermistor and wire, and
carefully buried the logger and wire under more rocks and tree branches. Unfortunately the coyote was more persistent
than most and managed to destroy a second sensor. Such are the tribulations of electronic geyser monitoring. Thermistors make expensive snacks for
I hope
this not-so-brief summary of our electronic monitoring has been
interesting. Nancy Hinman, the
Yellowstone Geothermal Geologist is looking into the monitoring program, so we
can expect a more structured approach to monitoring of the thermal features in
the future. One result of the large
number of data loggers is a growing mass of data files, and one of the ongoing
projects is cataloging these files with the view to making them accessible to
researchers. One of my projects is
analyzing the temperature records and producing the analysis that I have
briefly discussed here. We hope to make
some or all of the analysis available on the GOSA web site in the future.

Granted it hasn't shipped yet, but usually someone has a little bit o leaked info on the bootloader by now. There's plenty of info for the GT-I9300 model, with video guides on unlocking the bootloader, rooting etc etc. But there are 4 different model numbers for the SGS3's coming to US carriers with the S4 proc: SCH-I535 (vzw) SGH-I747 (att) SPH-L710 (sprint) SGH-T999 (t-mobile) I can't find anything that even hints that the vzw version will be unlocked or locked. I see alot of speculation that the bootloader will be unloackable for these models but no one seems to know for sure. Can anyone provide reliable intel on this issue? Will the vzw version of the Galaxy S3 have an unlockable bootloader? Will we be able to boot into odin mode? Will CF-Root work on the SCH-I535? Thanks and net-hugs to anyone who can get us the info before I have to pre-order from vzw to keep "unlimeted" data. -ALQI

N.J. looks to close fee loophole utilized by Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center
September 19, 2011 - Jersey Journal
New Jersey is set to clamp down on a North Jersey hospital that insurance companies claim is billing them as much as 3,000 percent more than its own outpatient surgery centers charge for the same treatment.
Part of the plan by Gov. Chris Christie's administration to contain rising auto insurance rates targets the business practices of Meadowlands Hospital Medical Center in Secaucus, bought in December by the owners of three surgery centers in Bergen and Essex counties.
Since then, the new owners have been referring auto accident victims from their same-day surgery center to Meadowlands to take advantage of a fee loophole, according to insurance executives and confirmed by the Department of Banking and Insurance. The state limits what same-day surgery centers may charge, but it does not regulate what hospitals may charge for most outpatient care. And at Meadowlands, that difference can be substantial insurers and state officials say.
According to the Insurance Council of New Jersey:
• Same-day surgery centers that perform knee arthroscopy — inserting a tiny camera after small cuts are made to the knee — can bill an insurance company no more than $3,000. Meadowlands hospital, doing the same surgery on an outpatient basis, charges $90,000, or 3,000 percent more.
• Same-day surgery centers administering steroid injections to an accident victim's lower back can charge up to $3,800. Meadowlands Hospital charges $67,715.
• A plasma back injection, used as an alternative to steroids to reduce disc inflammation and pain, would cost $13,350 at a same-day surgery center. Meadowlands bills $161,510.
Meadowlands' business operations are among the issues Sen. Joseph Vitale (D-Middlesex), said he plans to raise when he and the rest of the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee meet today at the Statehouse to discuss the impact of the growing number of for-profit hospitals in the state.
"There are a lot of questions to ask,'' Vitale said.
Banking and Insurance Commissioner Thomas Considine proposed new auto insurance rules in August that would set a price limit on what hospitals can bill for 2,000 never-before regulated outpatient procedures.
The rules would close the loophole in auto insurance regulations that has helped to drive up premiums in the last two years after several years of decline, he said.
"The common perception is insurance companies have all in the money in the world," Considine said.
"In 2007, New Jersey was the 13th most profitable market in the nation. Last year, it had fallen to 50th, and virtually all of it was driven by PIP," he said, referring to personal injury protection or medical costs.
Meadowlands officials are vigorously opposing the changes. Last week, they got help from 10 state legislators — five Democrats and five Republicans — who sent the governor a letter warning the new rules would threaten the financial health of the state's fragile hospital industry.
"We have serious concerns with such an attack on our state's struggling acute care hospitals, and we ask that you join us in opposing any effort to impose ambulatory surgical rates on all services performed at hospitals," according to the Sept. 15 letter to Christie.
Surgery centers "do not share a fraction of the costs of operating a hospital and are not burdened with charity care,'' according to the letter, in a rare display of bi-partisan agreement. "Paying hospitals and (ambulatory surgery centers) at the same rate is simply unfair.''
"It is unlikely that reducing hospital reimbursement will be followed by a reduction in consumer auto insurance premiums. Certain hospitals, however, may be forced to close or reduce services, and hardships experienced by others may be exacerbated,'' according to the letter.
The Banking and Insurance department has received 12,000 comments on the proposed rules, and the overwhelmingly majority, save for a few hundred, support the changes, Considine said.
He said many letters are from policy holders who have been encouraged by their auto insurance companies to write letters.
Most auto insurance policy holders are reimbursed no more than $250,000 per accident under the personal injury protection coverage of their car insurance. People will burn through their limit fast if prices are not brought under control, he said.
Considine said he has had to confront more than a few hospitals for exploiting the rules, but singled out hospitals run by surgery center operators as the biggest repeat offenders.
"They are taking advantage of what we saw was a loop hole in the fee schedule," he said. When asked whether he knew of any hospital besides Meadowlands that was bought by surgery centers operators in the last two years, Considine said he did not.
Most hospitals do not charge the exorbitant rates, said Deana Lykens, president of the Insurance Council of New Jersey, a trade association. Another hospital charged $4,458, a more typical price, for a steroid injection in the lower back, compared to $67,715 Meadowlands billed, she said.
"Some of the numbers that we have seen coming out of Meadowlands show how the system is being abused," Lykens said.
A spokesman for Meadowlands said the owners, Richard Lipsky and Tamara Dunaev and their for-profit company MHA, Inc., declined to comment for this story.
According to presale documents filed with the state, MHA made its business model clear before the Department of Health and Senior Services approved the sale with Liberty Healthcare System in November. Their stewardship would revive the failing hospital that otherwise would have closed, taking jobs and health care services with it, according to the documents.
Their three surgery centers — Essex Surgery Center in Hackensack, Roseland Surgery Center in Roseland, and Bergen Ambulatory Surgery Center in Saddle Brook — perform a total of 15,000 procedures a year, and the hospital "anticipates being able to draw from its existing referral base," according to pre-sale records they filed with the health department.
The New Jersey Hospital Association, the largest trade group representing hospitals, called the state's proposal "a good compromise."
Association spokeswoman Kerry McKean Kelly said, "It strikes a good balance between reining in healthcare costs and protecting hospitals."

Big summer: Only Prince tops Tour de Dave
Aside from allegedly creating a big stink in Chicago [see sidebar], the Dave Matthews Band certainly cleaned up on its summer tour. The jam-rock quintet grossed $9.2 million for the first six months of 2004, according to Pollstar magazine.
Based on 11 shows in eight North American cities, average gross was $1.1 million per city. This was just the beginning of the tour, though– 207,000 tickets. By September 30, they had sold almost 900,000 tickets, with an average ticket price around $43. That week, Pollstar pegged their box office draw as second only to that of the newly rejuvenated Prince.
As head of the foremost authority in concert tracking, Pollstar editor Gary Bongiovanni offers insight into DMB's remarkable decade-plus ticket-selling prowess. Still, he suggests that they might do well to aim higher still.
"This probably wasn't the best year for the Dave Matthews Band, although they still did all right," says Bongiovanni. "Business has been off for pretty much everybody."
He says ticket sales for live music events took a nosedive several months ago and haven't yet fully rebounded. Arena shows have been plentiful, but this has meant trouble for other venues.
"We saw in mid-April a pretty significant decline in ticket sales," Bongiovanni says. "It was a tough year for amphitheaters, there's no doubt about that, but you can only theorize why."
Indeed, Bongiovanni has a few theories, since attendance began to fall just as gas prices rose and as the death toll in Iraq began to mount.
"Something changed in the American psyche that made people want to hold on to their money more," he says. "Nobody is going to describe this economy as robust."
In addition, ticket prices for the top 50 acts have increased by about $7 apiece, and Bongiovanni believes older fans are less likely to spend hefty sums for distant lawn seats in order to watch pixelated cinematography of a favorite artist projected onto a screen.
The closest tours nipping at the heels of the Charlottesville-based quintet, according to Pollstar, have been the tours staged by classic rock icons Eric Clapton, Phil Collins, and Van Halen, all of which grossed less than DMB despite ticket prices topping $70.
DMB's sales might have been marginally better had it not been for the latest in their incessant barrage of live albums. The June 29 release of The Gorge brought the running total to 12 discs– and that's not counting any DVDs, or the six-disc set chronicling the entire three-night fling with the famed Colorado stage.
The Gorge hasn't been the only high-profile show of late. A free September 12 performance at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park was hyped by Budweiser as part of its "True Music" advertising campaign. Attendees were asked for voluntary donations, and the proceeds were then donated to Bay area charities and non-profit organizations. A similar model was used for last year's Central Park performance in New York and its subsequent double live album, of which Charlottesville's own Music Resource Center was one of the prime beneficiaries.
The most daring of DMB's activities this season, however, was undoubtedly an early October interstate rampage sponsored by the liberal political crusaders behind MoveOn.org. After first playing a benefit for Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry at Radio City Music Hall in early July, Dave announced that– along with Americana idol Bruce Springsteen– he would be leading the "Vote For Change" tour.
The exceedingly leftist concert series also featured grunge rock luminaries Pearl Jam, who recently led some concert-goers to walk out mid-show after lead singer Eddie Vedder stomped on a George W. Bush mask, as well as the Dixie Chicks, who were blasted by country audiences after one Chick chastised the president in early 2003.
In an effort to push Kerry into the lead, the extensive Vote For Change roster was split into smaller two- and three-group contingents, so four or five simultaneous shows could rock "swing states" on any given day. Ticket sales even counted as donations to the political action group's fundraising efforts, a striking contrast to the presence of the nonpartisan voter registration initiative Headcount at earlier DMB shows. Dave performed alongside Jurassic 5, patron saints of postmodern hip-hop, and ATO Records artist My Morning Jacket until the October 11 finale in Florida, perennial epicenter of electoral dysfunction.
"A vote for change is a vote for a stronger, safer, healthier America; a vote for Bush is a vote for a divided, unstable, paranoid America," said the Dave upon the tour's announcement.
"They probably took a little less risk compared to Bruce Springsteen as far as potentially alienating their fans," says Bongiovanni. Jam band audiences, he suspects, are likely to be considerably more liberal than fans of Springsteen or fellow roots-rock Movers John Fogerty and John Mellencamp.
Dave's anti-Bush rigidity seemed to have tempered somewhat by the time the curtains opened.
"You probably know why I'm here and who I'm going to vote for, but democracy depends on whole participation," he said at one of the Vote For Change shows. "So please vote, whoever you're voting for. Now we'll play. That's what we came for."

With Snooki knocked up and The Situation sobered up, somebody had to step it up and assume the role of craziest crazy person for this season of Jersey Shore. It looks like Deena Cortese is going to be the one to do it. She was just arrested this afternoon for disorderly conduct after she got plastered in the middle of the day and was seen dancing in the street and walking into moving traffic. Good times. Ronnie and Sammi watched as Deena was cuffed by officers on the scene, while the show's producers were no doubt off to the side foaming at the mouth with excitement. As for the rest of the cast, they're still recovering from a massive bar brawl that they got tangled up on Friday night which left JWoww with a sprained ankle. It's good to see that all these years later the cast still has what it takes to keep things interesting.

At Moo-Lolly-Bar we dispatch all orders via either Australia Express or Registered Post (depending on the size or number of shipping boxes required) or Fastway Couriers, as we believe collectively they are the safest, most reliable and cost effective way of dispatching confectionery items to customers in a warm weather country like Australia. Both methods are also fully trackable.
Of the two, Fastway is our preferred method so if you live in non-remote areas of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria or Adelaide and Canberra we will more likely than not send your order via this courier as standard.
Similarly if you live in parts of the country that Fastway does not service in a timescale of less than 1-4 working days then your order will be dispatched via Australia Post.
As a general rule any order that can fit into an Australia Express or Registered Parcel Post 3kg or 5kg satchel will be sent via that method. If the products you ordered do not fit into an Australia Express or Registered Parcel Post 3kg or 5kg satchel then they will be sent to you via Australia Registered Post.
Regardless of the courier we use you will receive via email a tracking number that will allow you to track the progress of that order. Either by visiting http://www.auspost.com.au/ or http://www.fastway.com.au/.

The Asian and Pacific Energy Forum
Energy security is generally recognized as a common goal and an important prerequisite for development. It is also a concept that varies across countries, taking into account different economic, environmental and social aspects. Understanding the need for regional cooperation and the opportunities that arise, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) is convening the Asian and Pacific Energy Forum (APEF 2013) in the wider context of sustainable development.
ESCAP Resolution 67/2 on "Promoting regional cooperation for enhanced energy security and the sustainable use of energy in Asia and the Pacific" calls for APEF 2013
- to discuss the progress achieved in the region in addressing energy security challenges at the regional, national and household levels, and
- to facilitate continuous dialogue among member States with a view to enhancing energy security and working towards sustainable development.
APEF 2013 is the first ministerial conference of its kind to bring together more than 50 member states from the Asia-Pacific region on energy. To prepare, an extensive preparatory process has taken place since mid-2012, building up to the main event in May.
The Russian Federation is hosting APEF in Vladivostok from 27 to 30 May 2013. There will be a Senior Officials Meeting and a Ministerial Session, along with side events. The detailed programme will be added in February.
Participants will include representatives from ESCAP member states and associate members, representatives from the UN-Energy Asia-Pacific network, research institutes and regional organizations, as well as members of civil society and the private sector.
Preparatory Meetings
- APEF Subregional Consultation Meeting for South-East Asia, 3-5 October 2012
- APEF Subregional Consultation Meeting for the Pacific, 8-9 October 2012
- APEF Subregional Consultation Meeting for North and Central Asia, 25-26 October 2012
- APEF Subregional Consultation Meeting for South and South-West Asia, 6-7 November 2012
- APEF Subregional Consultation Meeting for East and North-East Asia, 12-13 November 2012

Well, we made it. After five long days in two cars, with 2 kids, and enough clothing to be comfortable with all climates we might encounter (not to mention the many visits to public bathrooms), we have arrived in the desert... just in time for the beginning of summer. Today it was in the 80's with the promise of low 90's this weekend.
Truly, the drive across the country was amazing. It was great to see the greatest country up close and personal. And now I can put on my resume: Traveled by car through all states in the Southern USA...solo. Although I wasn't alone. The Mister was behind me that whole time...making sure that my cruise control was set to a speed that would keep me out of trouble!
I have gotten a bit settled since I arrived 48 hours ago. I am systematically trying to accomplish things according to priority. I am trying to take things one thing at a time so that i don't get overwhelmed. I have gotten an AZ drivers license, registered my kids in school, visited the local Target, Costco and Starbucks, to be sure they are all convenient and safe. And, most importantly I got my hair cut and colored which was a task that I seriously considered placing at #1 on the list. I was on the verge of a major hair crises.
As a side note, I did feel slightly weird when I drove through the Starbucks line for my hot Cinnamon Dolce Latte and then drove off in my car with the air conditioner on...but such is the life when you live in the desert.
We spent this morning touring and meeting the kids and teachers at the new school. I am very excited for Austin and Grace. I am certain that they will feel welcome and continue to learn as much as they did NC. They start on Monday.
I have many pictures of our travels from across the country so I will try to post soon. I just wanted to sign on real quick and let you know that we are here and doing well. For those of you that were praying and wishing us well on our journey we thank you so much. Things are good and we look forward to this next adventure in our lives! And of, course, it will all be here on the blog!
La Vida Dulce!
PS: There are some of you back home in NC that were on our postcard list. They are on the way!!

"Then he summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out…." Matthew 10:1
"In truth I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Matthew 18:18
Did you know that the famous 1973 movie "The Exorcist" was based on a real-life case of a successful exorcism? But instead of a young girl, played by Linda Blair in the movie, in real life it was a 13-year-old boy who became demonically possessed.
I've always wondered what happened to that boy. Thanks to an account by Pat McGonigle for KSDK5 in St. Louis, Missouri, Oct. 30, 2012, we now know. Here's McGonigle's report:
It's one of the biggest questions about the most well documented cases of an exorcism in U.S. history.
What ever happened to the 13-year-old boy at the center of the exorcism performed by Jesuits at Saint Louis University?
The story was the basis for the best-selling book and blockbuster horror movie, "The Exorcist."
With a few rare exceptions, the boy's identity has remained a closely guarded secret for decades.
"He's still alive," said David Waide, SLU archivist.
In almost all of the accounts of the famous case, the boy is referred to as "Robbie."
Robbie's ordeal began at his home in Maryland in 1949. Bizarre, unexplained things started happening in Robbie's home, up to and including marks and welts on his body.
Robbie's parents came to St. Louis to stay with relatives, partially in hopes that a change of scenery would stop the unexplained activities.
It didn't help.
One of Robbie's cousins was a student at St. Louis University at the time. She relayed accounts of Robbie's ordeal to Jesuits at SLU.
Eventually, Fr. William Bowdern, S.J. led the exorcism with the help of Fr. Raymond Bishop and Fr. Walter Halloran, among others.
The ordeal ended at a now-demolished wing of the Alexian Brothers Hospital in south St. Louis.
It's believed Robbie would be 77 today.
"He's had several children," Waide said. "He's moved back to the Washington D.C. area. He was non-Catholic, Lutheran nominally, but he became a Catholic. He was baptized during this whole episode."
It's been reported that Robbie named a son Michael. In the exorcism records, Robby tells the priests he was saved by St. Michael the Archangel.
Robbie returned to St. Louis two years after his ordeal ended in 1949.
In a priest's diary about the exorcism, this is the final footnote entry on page 29:
"Follow up: August 19, 1951. R and his father and mother visited the Brothers. R, now 16 is a fine young man. His father and mother also became Catholic, having received their first Holy Communion on Christmas Day, 1950."
You can read the entire diary on KSDK.COM.
In 1993, Thomas B. Allen wrote a book on the real life exorcism of "Robbie." Titled Possessed: The True Story of an Exorcism, the book is based on the diary kept by a Jesuit priest who assisted Father Bowdern in the exorcism. One big difference between the movie and the book is that in the book, "Robbie" identified St. Michael the Archangel as playing a pivotal role, by the power of God, in the eventual expulsion of the demon.

It was the place to be last night. I'm downtown in Austin for the world's largest music festival, LIVE from the Ustream Studio at The Belmont. We have the coolest venue in Austin decked out with a live production studio, 2 stages, plasma TV's everywhere, and lots of great food and drinks.
We kicked it off with panel discussions yesterday with Peter Himmelman, Mark Rizzn Hopkins, Lucas Hendrickson, Evan White and myself.
Adele started us out right also with some great music for the star-studded party. I hung out with everyone from Pete Cashmore, to Gary V and even Jeff Dowd the real "Big Lebowski".
If you are in Austin, make sure to come by the Belmont each night – still to come many more BIG NAME artists.
Also watch us online at www.ustream.tv/studio
More action from the night- I'll post more photos as they come in:

Children's bread given to dogs
'And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.' Matthew 15:27
Suggested Further Reading: Isaiah 64:4–9
Instead of trying to make your case out to be better, believe in its thorough badness, and yet be of good cheer. You cannot exaggerate your sin, and even if you could, it would be wiser to err in that direction than the other. A man called at my house some time ago for charity; an arrant beggar, I have no doubt. Thinking that the man's rags and poverty were real, I gave him a little money, some of my clothes, and a pair of shoes. After he had put them on and gone out, I thought, 'Well, after all, I have done you a bad turn very likely, for you will not get so much money now as before, because you will not look so wretched an object.' Happening to go out a quarter of an hour afterwards, I saw my friend, but he was not wearing the clothes I had given him, not he; why, I should have ruined his business if I could have compelled him to look respectable. He had been wise enough to slip down an archway, take all the good clothes off, and put his rags on again. Did I blame him? Yes, for being a rogue, but not for carrying on his business in a businesslike manner. He only wore his proper livery, for rags are the livery of a beggar. The more ragged he looked, the more he would get. Just so is it with you. If you are to go to Christ, do not put on your good doings and feelings, or you will get nothing; go in your sins, they are your livery. Your ruin is your argument for mercy; your poverty is your plea for heavenly alms; and your need is the motive for heavenly goodness. Go as you are, and let your miseries plead for you.
For meditation: The filthy rags of sin are the natural uniform of all human beings (Romans 3:23). The Lord Jesus Christ wore them spiritually on the cross in our place and in return offers you now his spotless robe of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10; Zechariah 3:3–5), which is the Christian's uniform and ticket to heaven. But you won't even be able to gatecrash heaven (John 10:1), if you reject Christ's righteousness and continue to wear the filthy rags of your sin (Matthew 22:11–13).

Colin was once known for his wild partying ways, says that he's much more appreciative of his both kids as well as his career now that he's sober.
Of being a dad, he admits, "There were times when I was with my son and I was wondering how long I would have to spend before I could go off and get p***ed. Now – two hours in the pub, then I get bored. I was at that party for long enough."

While reading Dr. Russell D. Moore's article, "Where Have All the Presbyterians Gone?" I wondered: Where are they? Dr. Moore is a leader in the 16 million-strong and conservative Southern Baptist Convention with six seminaries.
As a former member of the PCA and RPCGA denominations, my concern is that of the Presbyterians, almost 3 million are part of the PCUSA which is likely to ordain openly-homosexual clergy. This would make the PCUSA a post-Christian organization.
Therefore, there are only 380,000 between the largest remaining faithful OPC and PCA denominations and only one remaining denominational seminary, Covenant, controlled by them.
What's driving this flattening? Is it liberal theology, modernity or use of birth control or perhaps something else? What will cause a reversal?
It is indeed a complicated day! Historic Reformed and Presbyterian churches could be tempted to be discouraged were it not for the Savior's promise that he will build his church and the gates of hell cannot withstand its power (Matt. 16:18)! Also read Chapter 25 of the Westminster Confession of Faith for encouragement.
The reasons for the decline in the mainline Presbyterian bodies (PCUSA) have been examined in many books. I could point you to two books that help to explain that decline and the emergence of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, both by Daryl Hart and John Muether, "Fighting the Good Fight" (available through the OPC's Committee on Christian Education) and their "Seeking a Better Country" (P&R Books). The thesis for both books is that Christians are pilgrims in this world and any time we try to tie ourselves too closely to the existing culture and social structure we will find that we are co-opted, compromised and eventually irrelevant. That is what has happened to the PCUSA. By seeking to be current with the culture (for instance, the endorsement of homosexual marriage) biblical truth is abandoned and with it the ability to speak to the culture from outside of the culture. In other words, when you buy into the world's assumptions that God has nothing to say about marriage that will challenge something like homosexual marriage, you have nothing to say at all! When the church sees herself as a pilgrim body whose true home is heaven (the "Better Country"), you are not so invested in being "liked" or approved by the world but can say what the Word of God says, both law (homosexually is wrong) and gospel (but Jesus Christ is a great Savior). I hope this makes sense.
Many of those in the PCUSA who are believers have left the denomination and it is steadily losing both money and influence. Unfortunately, many of the Presbyterians who leave do not end up in the OPC or PCA or other biblically committed denominations but in general evangelicalism. Additionally, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, which is theologically to the left of the OPC and PCA has become a home for some former PCUSA members.
But as to the question of how Presbyterians match up to a denomination like the SBC, there are several things to keep in mind. The SBC has been the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S. for a number of years. Southern Baptists have also gone through their struggles. There is a movement (the Founders Movement) within the SBC to call the denomination back to its Reformed (Baptist) roots. But that is small compared to the whole denomination. Most SBC would probably still be characterized by being at least generally Arminian and dispensational. Arminian dispensationalism is the "flavor" of American evangelicalism, so it is no surprise that the SBC holds the lion's share of influence in general evangelicalism.
The Reformed faith, however, is different. Both the OPC and PCA focus on God's sovereignty in salvation which is opposed to Arminianism and to a covenantal understanding of Scripture which rejects a dispensational division of Scripture. What this means is that the Presbyterians who are truly committed to the Westminster Standards will always find themselves speaking in a way that American evangelicals find strange: God alone is Savior; man is spiritually dead and unable to save himself or exercise faith apart from God's sovereign calling; there is one people of God throughout history; modern-day Israel is not a special entity before God because it is not the same as Israel of the Old Testament; etc. Rather than lament that even combined conservative Presbyterians are very much smaller than the SBC or the PCUSA for that matter, we have to ask if we are being faithful to God's Word and resting in the fact that the Lord is honored by faithfulness more than how the world measures success (that is, in terms of numbers). And throughout both the OPC and the PCA there are people being converted and coming to embrace the Reformed faith. I see it in the church where I serve and it is repeated again and again across the country. Be faithful to the gospel and rejoice in that gospel and God will do what he pleases.
One final thing: yes, Covenant Seminary is the only denominationally connected Reformed seminary but there are numerous independent Reformed seminaries in the U.S. training men who are faithful to the Scriptures like Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, Westminster Seminary California, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, Mid-America Reformed Seminary, Reformed Theological Seminary with 5 campuses, Redeemer Seminary in Dallas, Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh, Knox Theological Seminary, and more. So conservative Reformed theological education is alive and well and there are Reformed missions going on around the world (check out www.opc.org and the link to foreign missions for instance), Reformed student ministries on college campuses, and Reformed colleges like Covenant, Geneva, Grove City, Dordt, Kuyper College for starters. So we pray and we are faithful and we look to the Lord to bless and know always that our labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Cor. 15:58).
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

A few years ago we drove to Coldwater, Michigan in search of my husband's Cutter line, specifically the family of Stephen Starr Cutter.
Our search brought us into the Buggie family as Stephen Starr Cutter's daughter Mary Estabrook Cutter married John H. Buggie on 28 October 1880.
Mary E. Cutter and John H. Buggie had two children: Frederick Starr Buggie (b: Nov. 1881) and Mariette Buggie (b: 20 Dec 1883; d: 5 Oct 1909).
Frederick Starr Buggie married Mary Margaret Campbell and they had one daughter, who they named Mariet (b: 1911) most probably named for Frederick's sister, Mariette who died in 1909. It is this Mariet that my hubby recently researched and found some very fun information.
According to a May 11, 1967 article in the Rome (NY) Daily Sentinel, Mariet Margaret Buggie Moffat was appointed the first woman to ring the Ipswick (Massachusetts) Curfew Bell in 333 years because no man wanted the job. Apparently it was interfering with television time.
She volunteered to ring the bells, located at the Methodist Church two miles from her home, 21 times every night of the year at 9:00 p.m. in rain, snow, heat, in sickness and in health (kind of like being married!)
Being an organized woman, Mariet formed an association of bell ringers, consisting of people who lived near the church that could ring the bells when she couldn't make it.
The practice began in 1634 when the Puritans wanted to alert the community that it was time to put out the lights and go to bed, as there was always much work to be done the next day.
And for this dedicated service, Mariet was paid $250 a year. Thank you, Mariet, for carrying on the tradition.

WASHINGTON, March 16 (UPI) -- A majority of voters believe the Obama administration should resume tours of the White House, a poll indicates.
In a national survey conducted by The Hill of 1,000 likely voters, 54 percent said tours of the White House should continue, while 28 percent said they shouldn't, the Washington publication reported Friday.
About 18 percent were undecided.
The tours cost the Secret Service about $74,000 a week. White House officials have said the Secret Service ended the tours to avoid furloughs stemming from sequestration.
Since the White House announced the tours would end, President Obama has said officials are studying ways to resume tours for school children.
The poll, conducted Thursday, has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
