I've said it for the record a thousand times. I'll state it again a thousand times. This is the pinnacle of what I do. Nothing has ever touched being a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
What began as a simple radio broadcast in 1925 is today a live entertainment phenomenon. Dedicated to honoring country music's rich history and dynamic present, the Grand Ole Opry showcases a mix of country legends and the contemporary chart-toppers who have followed in their footsteps. The Opry, an American icon and Nashville, Tennessee's number-one attraction, is world-famous for creating one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences for audiences of all ages.
It's been called the "home of American music" and "country's most famous stage." Every year, hundreds of thousands of people make pilgrimages across town or around the world to the Grand Ole Opry to see the show live. Millions more tune in to Opry broadcasts via a mobile app, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Nashville's 650 AM WSM, and on opry.com and wsmonline.com.
From Philadelphia to Fiji, everyone knows the Grand Ole Opry is the show that made country music famous. How it earned that reputation is quite a tale.
It began on the night of Nov. 28, 1925, when an announcer on Nashville radio station WSM introduced fiddle player Uncle Jimmy Thompson as the first performer on a new show called "The WSM Barn Dance." Now, more than 80 years later, the show Hay started is still going strong. Along the way, it has launched countless country music careers and led the way for Nashville to become Music City.
Early Opry performers such as Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl, Ernest Tubb, and Bill Monroe became musical foundations for the Opry during its years in residence at the historic Ryman Auditorium, later welcoming to the stage artists who would become entertainment icons in their own right including Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and Bill Anderson.
The Opry said goodbye to the Ryman Auditorium on Friday night, March 15, 1974 to take up residence at the newly built Grand Ole Opry House. The next night, President Richard Nixon joined Roy Acuff on stage at the Grand Ole Opry House. Still, they could keep in touch with the traditions of the Ryman because an six-foot circle of hardwood was taken from the Ryman and placed center stage at the Opry House.
Today the magic continues. Trace Adkins, Dierks Bentley, Vince Gill, Martina McBride, Brad Paisley, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart, Mel Tillis, and Carrie Underwood are among the stars who are part of the Opry family. Thousands of people make pilgrimages every year to see and hear them, while millions tune in to enjoy the Opry via 650 AM WSM, Sirius XM Satellite Radio, syndicated radio, or opry.com.
about our shows
Unforgettable moments happen at the Opry every week… Moments like the night Opry legend Little Jimmy Dickens scaled a kitchen ladder to invite Trace Adkins to become an Opry member. Or the night Carrie Underwood brought down the house with her rendition of the Tammy Wynette classic, "Stand By Your Man", or the evening Vince Gill invited jazz vocalist Diana Krall to the stage for an impromptu duet.
Many of those "Opry Moments" are the result of country music's new stars, superstars and legends taking the same stage on the same night performing a wide variety of musical styles.
During any given Opry show, audiences can expect the best in country, bluegrass, comedy, gospel, and more performed by Country Music Hall of Famers, Opry members who helped establish the Opry as the home of country music, revered superstars, and rising stars just starting to make names for themselves.
"The Grand Ole Opry celebrates the diversity of all the musical styles under the country music umbrella. In addition, the Opry presents the many generations of artists who have formed country music's rich legacy and continues to forge its future course," says Opry General Manager, Pete Fisher. "The key to the Opry's longevity can be attributed to its ability to evolve with the ever-changing musical landscape of the times."
The Opry's member roster reads like a who's–who of country music and includes Bill Anderson, Dierks Bentley, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Patty Loveless, Loretta Lynn, Martina McBride, Lorrie Morgan, Old Crow Medicine Show, Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton, Darius Rucker, Jean Shepard, Ricky Skaggs, Connie Smith, Marty Stuart, Trisha Yearwood, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and many more.

Paris, 12 Jan 2006
A flotilla of space-weather satellites – ESA's Cluster and NASA's ACE and Wind - observed for the first time steady large-scale jets of charged particles in the solar wind between the Sun and Earth. When such huge jets of particles impact on Earth's magnetic shield, they could cause powerful magnetic storms on our planet. Understanding the mechanism behind these phenomena - called 'magnetic reconnection' – is also fundamental to many explosive phenomena, such as solar flares, powerful gamma-ray bursts from 'magnetars' (dead stars noted for their extreme magnetic fields) and laboratory nuclear fusion.
Magnetic reconnection is a natural process by which the energy of magnetic field is converted into particle energy and by which, for instance, solar particles can penetrate through Earth's magnetic shield, sometimes causing magnetic storms as well as beautiful 'aurorae', or polar lights.
Magnetic reconnection takes place when sheets of oppositely directed magnetic field get pressed together. In doing so, the sheets cross to form an X-shape that is then temporarily broken to form a new magnetic line geometry.
The creation of a different geometry induces jets of electrically charged particles and also allows solar material to pass through newly created 'cracks' in the previously impenetrable magnetic field configuration.
So far, magnetic reconnection events have been almost exclusively reported in Earth's magnetosphere. This is the natural magnetic shield surrounding Earth. It is composed of magnetic field lines generated by our planet, and defends us from the continuous flow of charged particles that make up the solar wind by deflecting them away from Earth. However, when the interplanetary magnetic field lines carried by the solar wind happen to be in the opposite orientation to Earth's magnetic field lines, reconnection is triggered and solar material can break through Earth's shield.
Previous reconnection events measured in Earth's magnetosphere suggested that the phenomenon was intrinsically random and patchy in nature, extending not more than a few tens thousand kilometres.
However, a broader picture of magnetic reconnection emerged when six spacecraft – the four Cluster and the ACE and Wind satellites – were flying in the solar wind outside Earth's magnetosphere, in sunward direction, on 2 February 2002.
During a time span of about two and a half hours, all spacecraft observed in sequence a single huge stream, or jet, of charged particles, up to 2.5 million kilometres (390 Earth radii) wide, caused by the largest reconnection event ever measured.
"If the observed reconnection were patchy, one or more spacecraft most likely would have not encountered an accelerated flow of particles," says Tai Phan, from the University of California, Berkeley, USA, lead author of the results.
"Furthermore, patchy and random reconnection events would have resulted in different spacecraft detecting jets directed in different directions, which was not the case." The fact that the spacecraft detected the jet for more than two hours, also implies that the reconnection must have been almost steady over at least that timespan. Another reconnection events of large magnitude – with the associated jets - were identified by ACE and Wind, four of which extended more than 100 Earth radii, or 650 000 kilometres.
Thanks to these additional data, scientists could conclude that reconnection in the solar wind is to be looked at as an extended and steady phenomenon.
Magnetic reconnection, responsible for transport of mass and energy across Earth's magnetic defences, is a central issue in space physics. Consequences of this transport can be strong magnetic storms that have the potential to severely impair critical technology infrastructure.
Potential damage includes widespread power failures, pipeline corrosion, shutdown of cable systems, satellite failures, inaccurate GPS positioning and disturbed radio navigation.
Understanding magnetic reconnection is also fundamental when having to control magnetic fields and particles energy during nuclear experiments in laboratories. One of the keys to producing 'clean' nuclear energy (nuclear fusion) is making sure that reconnection phenomena do not take place, as they could cause powerful and dangerous jets of particles to be released uncontrolled.
"Only with co-ordinated measurements by spacecraft like Cluster, ACE and Wind can we probe the near-Earth space environment with unprecedented detail and in three dimensions," continued Phan.
"This is the only natural laboratory were the physics of plasma and the magnetic phenomena that drive it can be studied in situ, paving the way to many applications," he concluded. Notes to editors: The findings appear in the cover article of the 12 January 2006 issue of the scientific journal Nature, titled: 'A magnetic reconnection X-line extending more than 390 Earth radii in the solar wind'.

Release Date: 02/12/2013
Contact Information: William McBride, 404-562-8378 (direct), 404-562-8400 (main), firstname.lastname@example.com
ATLANTA – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that the City of Fort Lauderdale, FL will receive technical assistance through the Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities Program.
EPA consulted with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Transportation to select this year's 43 recipients from 121 applicants through a competitive process. EPA staff and national experts will conduct workshops that focus on the specific sustainability goal each community chose in their initial application to EPA. The agency offered nine tools this year, including a Green Building Toolkit, Land Use Strategies to Protect Water Quality, and Using Smart Growth to Produce Economic and Fiscal Health.
Fort Lauderdale is receiving assistance with creating a green streets strategy. A green street incorporates green infrastructure to manage storm water while making the street more walk-able a aesthetically appealing. This tool will help communities develop strategies for greening their street based on national models and case studies
"Creating resilient communities is vital to protecting public health and the environment, "said Regional Administrator Gwen Keys Fleming. "EPA's Building Blocks Program will give city leaders and other community partners the necessary tools to stimulate local economies and promote thriving, sustainable communities".
Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities is a project of the Partnership for Sustainable Communities among EPA, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The interagency collaboration coordinates federal investments in infrastructure, facilities, and services to get better results for communities and use taxpayer money more efficiently. The partnership is helping communities across the country create more housing choices, make transportation more efficient and reliable, reinforce existing investments, and support vibrant and healthy neighborhoods that attract businesses.
Nationally 43 communities - rural, urban, and suburban - will receive technical assistance to pursue sustainable growth that encourages local economic development while safeguarding people's health and the environment. To date, 141 communities have received EPA's assistance through the Building Blocks program. Together, EPA, HUD and DOT form the federal Partnership for Sustainable Communities, which coordinates investments in housing, transportation, and environmental protection to get better results for communities and use taxpayer money more efficiently.

G3151, Reviewed October 1993
Harvesting and storing forage crops at the proper moisture is necessary to minimize forage losses and to maintain maximum nutritional value. But it is difficult to determine the moisture concentration of forage crops prior to ensiling or baling.
A common way to measure moisture is the hand-squeeze method. You squeeze the forage into a ball for 30 seconds and then guess the moisture level. This method is very deceptive and lacks precision. Another way to determine moisture — drying forage in an oven — is time consuming and impractical.
Three other methods use specific equipment: the Delmhorst (mention of trade names does not imply endorsement) moisture tester, the Koster tester and the microwave oven.
The Delmhorst moisture tester is a convenient hand-held device that estimates moisture as a measure of electrical resistance. It is designed to estimate moisture in the range of 13 to 40 percent. Considerable variation in readings can exist, as moisture percentage in a bale of hay will vary from wafer to wafer. When using a Delmhorst moisture probe, you should use a second, more accurate method to gain experience and a frame of reference in estimating moisture percentage.
The Koster moisture tester is a portable, forced air electric drying unit. You use a small scale that comes with the heater to weigh forage into a mesh-bottom basket. You put the basket into the drying device and dry the forage until stable readings occur, which takes about a half hour. You then take dry matter/moisture readings directly from the scale. This method gives accurate estimates of forage moisture, but you need to be near an electrical outlet to use it. You can take it to the field if a portable generator is available.
A microwave oven dries forage in a minimum amount of time and can provide accurate forage moisture determinations. The following describes how you can use a microwave oven for moisture testing.
As with all forage analyses, obtaining a representative sample is an important, but difficult, step.
Select three to five locations in the field where the windrow is uniformly thick. With a sharp shears, cut 6-inch cross-sections from windrows. If the forage is dry, try not to lose leaves. Chop the forage into pieces 1 to 2 inches long. Mix samples in a clean pail and subsample for drying.
For baled hays, sample with a Penn State bale corer or another appropriate device. Damp hay baled with preservatives results in excess friction and heats the core borer. This dries the sample while it is still in the bale corer and underestimates moisture significantly.
You need a microwave oven with a power range of 50 to 1,000 watts and a small scale (postal, kitchen or dietetic) that weighs in grams. Postal scales are less expensive but they measure in ounces. Results with postal scales are less accurate than scales that measure in grams unless you use large samples (1 to 2 pounds).
Moisture determination requires weighing a wet forage sample on a scale, drying it in a microwave oven to a constant weight, and calculating the moisture concentration. The following steps illustrate the procedure.
Begin by drying the sample for 3 minutes. If the sample is fresh material (70 to 80 percent moisture), you may start with 5 minutes; if you think the sample has less than 35 percent moisture, start with only 2 minutes. Use the oven's higher heating or power levels for wetter materials. As the forage dries, lower the heat level. Check for dryness after the initial heating and stir the sample again inside the container to retard loss and to dry layers.
Repeat the 3-minute drying time for very wet samples. Check and stir the sample again. At this point, you should be able to feel a loss of moisture. Continue drying for intervals of 1 to 2 minutes until the sample feels almost completely dry, stirring between intervals. Weigh the sample to determine weight loss. Now, dry the sample for approximately 30 seconds and reweigh. Repeat the 30-second drying intervals until the weight of the dish plus sample ceases to change. Record this as weight C (Step 4).
Different forages require different drying times. Shelled corn may take as long as 15 minutes; haylage, 5 minutes or less. Experience will tell you how much drying time your samples require. To prevent burning, check samples at frequent intervals as they approach dryness.
A sample may feel dry, yet contain as much as 10 percent moisture. The only way to ensure a sample is 100 percent dry is to check the weight after each 30-second drying interval. If the weight is still changing, moisture is still being driven off. If the weight is constant after three 30-second drying intervals, stop. All the moisture is gone and the sample is 100 percent dry. Do not dry further as carbohydrate will be volatized and moisture will be over-estimated. Stop before charring occurs.
A trial run to gain experience in using microwave is recommended.
Total drying times (Table 1) are approximate. For example, if your sample initially doesn't change much during 1-1/2 minutes of drying, leave it for 2-1/2 minutes at a time. Take care to prevent charring or burning of forage sample. Attend drying procedures at all times as a fire is always a potential risk if over drying and charring occurs. Do not send these samples for forage testing. Fiber and protein concentrations could be altered and heat damage and protein binding are possible.
Step 4
Calculate percent moisture
(A) Weight of empty paper plate or bag.
(B) Weight of wet sample + paper plate or bag.
(C) Weight of dry sample + paper plate or bag.
Subtract plate or bag weight (A) from both wet weighing (B) and dry weighing (C).
Line 1: B-A
Line 2: C-A
Percent moisture = (Line 1 - Line 2)/Line 1 x 100
(A) Bag weight = 10 grams
(B) Wet sample weight + bag = 90 grams
(C) Dry sample weight + bag = 70 grams
Line 1: 90 - 10 = 80 grams (wet sample)
Line 2: 70 - 10 = 60 grams (dry sample)

From the Top SAL Catchers list:
5. Josh Phegley, White Sox – The 38th overall selection in the 2009 draft, Phegley's ability to handle a pitching staff, throwing arm, and propensity for driving the ball hard to the opposite field really impressed me. With his poor defensive reputation, I watched him from a number of different angles and saw nothing which would lead me to believe he could not be a serviceable big league backstop. He's not Jackson Williams behind the plate, but he certainly is not Jesus Montero either.
Phegley's stats. BABIP for the year was .238. Using the "normalize luck" and "normalize park" functions at Phegley's MinorLeagueSplits.com page we get a /.275/.321/.480/.801 with a .301 BABIP line.

Monta crashed a vehicle he is by contract not even allowed to be riding, in the off-season, and then he LIED about it... and you're comparing his injury to those of his teammates who sustained injury while playing the game of basketball? I mean... really?
And Monta's interviews have been horrible of late. He needs to learn to keep his mouth shut instead of telling reporters that he's not going to take any extra on his back. He's paid to be the leader of this team. He took the team on his back tonight and if he'd just STFU in the locker room no one could say a thing about the dude.
He's a great talent who has his own challenges being too small to play the traditional off-guard spot. Instead of mouthing off in pre-season about not being able to play with Steph and then mouthing off during the season about not taking on any extra he should just play his damn game."I'm the leader. It starts with me. Everything starts with me," Ellis told the Boston Globe. "Making sure everybody gets involved in the game. Making sure everybody knows the plays. Making sure everybody starts the game off right. Yeah, that's me. I've got to get that back into my head that I am the piece of the puzzle. I am the head leader. It all starts with me, so I've got to get everybody going, get this franchise back to who I know we can (be)."
Tell me how that was a bad interview or quote from Monta, this after game against the Celtics, so its recent, just seem to me your perspective has been set on Monta and is blurry with negativity.
An unintentional injury is just that, unintentional, at the end of the day its an injury. They should have just boxed Monta up in bubble wrap so he stays injury free, not get in a car or fly cause who knows what could happen. He lied to try and cover himself and it failed, because it was more serious than he thought, am sure you perfect that you have never lied to a teacher or employer to cover yourself, right
At the end of the day this is basketball, with his skill set Monta will continue playing people, and more and more will jumo right back on the band-wagon.
That's not a bad interview. This is a bad interview.
Monta Ellis Doesn't Sound Happy
By Marcus Thompson
Monday, November 16th, 2009 at 9:27 pm in Uncategorized.
Here is Ellis' take on the Stephen Jackson trade situation. Interesting to say the least.
What did you think when you found out?
"(laughs) It was amazing to me. I couldn't believe it at first. It is what it is, man. I'm gonna miss him. We gonna miss him. I went to see him before he left. It seemed like he was happy. As long as he's happy, I'm happy."
How tough will it be to lose one of your best players?
"It was tough when we had him. (laughs) Losing him, it's going to be tough. But we've got to find a way to get through it, man. I wish him the best. Now, it's on us. That's what they wanted, so they got it."
Will you have to do more to make up for the loss?
"I'm not (going to) put no more on my back. Somebody else gonna have to step up. I'm not gonna do more, somebody else gonna have to step up and take on the role that Jack had and be that player. But I'm not putting no more extra on my back."
Do you feel a need to be more vocal?
"Nope. Uh, uh. Not at all"
What do you guys lose with Jack gone?
"No. 1, besides his scoring and the ability to make the extra pass. What we've been emphasizing the whole time is defense. That's one of our best defenders on the team. And we're trying to get better as a defensive team. And now, who we got now that's going to play defense? We got me. And who else?"
Raja Bell is a good defender
"I don't know too much about dude. I mean (pause) it's crazy, man."
Jack was your best friend on the team. Will you bond with another teammate?
"I'm close to all my teammates. I'm still gonna do what we do. We're going to hang out the way we've been hanging out. It ain't going to be no different. We lost one of our close friends. That's it. But, hey, life goes on. I'mma talk to him every day. He's going to talk to me every day. Still going to be like he's here. So I'm not tripping. Like I said, as long as he's happy, I'm happy."
So you're happy. OK. Cool.
"I'm happy that he's happy, yeah."
But you're not happy?
Yeah. I just said I'm happy that he's happy. (Laughs)
What's going to be the key going forward?
"Our young guys gotta pay more attention and learn the game more. They probably need to watch more film and sit back and really evaluate the game more, and better."
Its called fustration, Beans is the only other player left with a long tenure with the team. No doubt him and Jax were probably close friends, and with the state of the team, and the uncertainty, that was Monta's state of mind at the time as well as his reaction. Could he have sugar coated it, yes, but I like his honesty in the situation. Things have settled, and as we see with his new quote he is ready to take on the responsiblity of leading the team. Holding a grudge on a player for being honest and saying things in the heat of a turning point in his career, when his "bigger brother" is no longer with him, then feel free to hold that grudge.
And what wrong with the last quote, if the younger guys need to watch more film so, be it, it will only help them in their game.

Crazy On Heart
Rock and roll's preeminent sister duo Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson were the guests of honor at An Evening With Heart at the GRAMMY Museum's newly christened Clive Davis Theater on May 24. Before a standing-room-only house, the Wilsons discussed their impressive three-decade career as the primary creative force behind Heart and their upcoming new album, Red Velvet Car. Joined by guitarist Craig Bartok, they also performed a brief acoustic set, including a trio of new songs sprinkled around Heart classics "Crazy On You" and "Barracuda."
GRAMMY Museum Executive Director Robert Santelli moderated a discussion touching upon topics such as the sisters' musical influences, balancing careers with parenting, the Seattle music scene, touring, songwriting and the creative process, and more.
The Wilsons exhibited enthusiasm in discussing Red Velvet Car, Heart's first studio album since 2004's Jupiter's Darling. When asked about the lyrical theme regarding the album's title track, Ann Wilson said, "[It's] about that night when maybe you've hit bottom or you're stuck some place out in the rain, and you have no recourse but to get on the phone and call your best friend and say, 'Help! Come get me!'" Nancy Wilson described another new song, "Hey You," as a romantic love letter to her husband, Oscar winner Cameron Crowe, and how the song idea had lingered for years only to finally come together in the studio in a moment of spirited collaboration with producer Ben Mink.
On the strength of the Wilson sisters, Heart stormed the '70s with hits such as "Crazy On You," "Magic Man," "Barracuda," "Dog & Butterfly," and "Straight On." The group continued topping the charts throughout the '80s and into the '90s with songs such as the GRAMMY-nominated "Alone," "These Dreams," "What About Love?," "Never," "Stranded," and a string of other hits that showcased the Wilsons' abundant musical talents. Red Velvet Car will be released via Legacy Recordings on Aug. 31 and Heart is scheduled to tour the United States this summer, including select dates on the Lilith Fair tour.
All proceeds from An Evening With Heart will go to the GRAMMY Museum and MusiCares. Upcoming events at the Museum include Great Guitars: Jonny Lang (June 1), The Drop: Exile On Main Street with producer Don Was (June 3) and An Evening With Herbie Hancock (June 7).

Please be sure to join your organizers' Meetup Group called Sex and Love Unplugged for more great events!
Sex can be "just sex" or it can be a whole body, heart & intimately mind blowing experience. If you would like to transform your sex life from ordinary to extraordinary then you are in good company here. Let's embrace our sexuality and awaken to even more bliss and pleasure with a positive wholesome attitude about our bodies. If you are open to positive change, then you can be sexually savvy and awake. Sex can transcend from physical to spiritual union.
Sexuality is a very natural, beautiful, and powerful part of our lives. Yet, we rarely get a chance to talk about our sexuality in a safe and honest environment. We define sex positive as a healthy non-negative attitude towards sex, and a celebration and acceptance of sexual diversity. This does not mean that we need to be and do everything sexually to be sex positive. It means that even when some sexual practices are not your preference, you accept other's freedom to express them as long as they are safe, sane, and consensual.
This group is open to all sexual genders and orientations; men, women, single, coupled, monogamous, polyamorous, straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, asexual and questioning. It's important, we feel, to question why another's sexual choice may bother you; and that's part of what we explore during the meetup events. Do you want to learn more about human sexuality and dating/marriage relationships? Do you want to manage your difficulties? Do you want to meet other locals who are on the path of becoming sexually awake and aware? Do you want to manifest the sexuality and intimacy you desire? If so, come and join us!

Inside iPhone 2.0: iPhone OS vs. other mobile platforms
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
However, Apple clearly forbids background apps for good reason. The iPhone 3G can already run itself dead in a short few hours while playing a game, receiving push messages, remaining on phone and SMS standby, and playing background music. How many more background tasks could it be expected to run? There are also a long list of known and unknown "unknowns," from security issues to privacy-violating or adware-induced spyware scenarios that Apple simply doesn't want any developers to be able to exploit or accidentally expose.
Apple has already taken action against developers who have somewhat innocently attempted to communally message users' contacts or transmit users' sensitive data back to their own servers without encryption. Open to all possibilities also means open to all risks, and Apple doesn't want the iPhone to become the next Windows malware crisis or the next unfinished, DIY "at your own risk" Linux project.
It would simply be irresponsible for Apple to delegate away its role as a trusted platform manager to the wide open development community and then blame third party developers for intentionally or accidentally causing problems in the way Microsoft did with its desktop and mobile Windows platforms, or blame less savvy end users for allowing things to go awry in the manner that open source advocates do. Apple sells the iPhone as a device that "just works," and so it has to manage that environment to make sure it continues to do so. That often requires making unpopular decisions and setting policies that uninformed end users might not immediately understand the rationale behind.
Apple's efforts to protect users from themselves is also often a bone of contention for technically savvy users who want free reign to do anything and think they know better than to hang themselves with all that extra rope. However, those users are also a tiny minority that is virtually insignificant to Apple, and of course are among the first to complain after they do manage to hang themselves. These users were flashing the firmware of the original iPhone, only to bawl about being "bricked" after realizing that Apple wasn't interested in individually bailing them out from their own mess at its own expense.
Advantages in the iPhone platform
The company's forward thinking stewardship of its iPhone platform, combined with its more modern operating system foundation; more sophisticated and elegant development tools; its attractive and polished user interface; its consistent hardware support for multitouch screen, accelerometer input, resolution independence, and location services; and far better integration between its hardware, software, online services, and its iTunes sync software all combine to create a product that no amalgamation of hardware manufacturers, mobile providers, and other partners can hope to match anytime soon.
That's not to say rivals aren't trying. RIM's BlackBerry Thunder (which eschews the BlackBerry keyboard to emulate the iPhone as closely as possible) will attempt to partner with the Rhapsody music service and to deliver something for Verizon Wireless this fall that at least looks more like the iPhone. Verizon's current partnerships with the LG on the Prada/Vu, Voyager/Venus, and now Dare have failed to ape the iPhone close enough to fool many users.
Nokia similarly tried to create its own iTunes equivalent in Ovi, folding it its music store, GPS map sales, and NGage gaming efforts. A more recent rumor (from a non-reputable Zune fansite) suggests Nokia will now partner with Microsoft's Zune Marketplace. However, it makes little sense that Nokia would jump at the opportunity to funnel profits toward a rival mobile platform in order to clean out the cobwebs currently choking Microsoft's own iTunes copycat rather than just continuing with its own partnership with Universal. Either way, it appears Nokia will end up with a third rate rival to iTunes.
The iPod phone
It's also useful to point out that blockbuster sales of the iPod remained untouched despite worldwide efforts to copy it over the last half decade, from PC software platform giant Microsoft, to the existing former leaders in MP3 players such as Sony and Creative, to RAM component giants Samsung and SanDisk, to purported assaults on the device from phone leaders Nokia and LG. How are these companies now going to turn around and suddenly find the competency to duplicate Apple's far more sophisticated iPhone platform?
Incidentally, the iPod touch has already kicked Nokia's fledgling Internet Tablet in the face, and the iPhone itself matched sales volumes of Nokia's flagship N95 last year even while only being sold in the US. Things don't look good for the current industry titans, who are all trying to look calm while clearly demonstrating signs of desperation in their response to the iPhone.
Apple now has five revenue engines supporting its hardware sales, and lacks many of the issues facing rival mobile software platforms; Apple's rapid and significant updates to its software platform have quickly outpaced the slow advancement of its smartphone rivals. Another critically important aspect in the feature balance between Apple's new iPhone and the now decade or more old mobile platforms of Palm, RIM, Symbian, and Microsoft is the iPhone's new support for third party applications, which has already created an ecosystem that rivals will find hard to match. The next segment will look at Apple's SDK, Apps Store, and the third party apps that have been release in its first month, with further comparisons to the mobile software available for rival platforms.

Posted on March 9, 2013 in Miscellaneous
If you sweat a lot like me, oftentimes it's a challenge to find an overgrip that doesn't get too slippery, especially in hot, humid weather. I love the feel of Yonex Super Grap or Wilson Pro Overgrip, but once you hit spring and summer when the weather heats up, the grip gets too slick, and I can't keep a good hold on my racquet. I resort to Tourna Grip, the original and most absorbent overgrip on the market…until now!
Volkl's new V-Dry Overgrip takes moisture absorption to a whole new level. Even in the hottest of weather, this grip stays dry, and I can remain confident in my hold on the racquet. It's not cushioned or tacky feeling, but instead it's dry and gritty feeling, kind of like Tourna Grip.
Personally, I found V-Dry to keep my grip even drier than Tourna Grip, and it lasts longer! Normally, Tourna Grip works great until it starts to shred after a couple of hits, but V-Dry seems to last forever! I was playtesting a string in my customized Head MicroGel Radical over summer, and I left V-Dry on for upward of two weeks and it still was going strong!
If your hands tend to get sweaty when you play and/or you've been a fan of Tourna Grip in the past like I have, I highly suggest giving V-Dry a try. In terms of moisture absorption and dry feel, this new Volkl grip just might take the cake!
Thanks for reading!


text: right, jenna, and i very much don't want unnecessary supplementation and all its associated problems either. and i really liked being able to tell parents to count pees and reassure them. but what the research is saying is that counting pees is actually not a particularly good way of assessing it - and as meg was saying above about missing pees, with a poop or with superabsorbent diapers or whatever, pee turns out NOT to be something they can easily count every day. it's important to me that i actually give *accurate* advice as well as *easy to follow* advice.

Unless the book was written with the intent of expounding on that philosophy.
Capellini wrote:Now I have to do research into the personal philosophies of ALL my favorite authors?
I haven't done any reasearch at all into Ayn Rand's philosophy. I haven't needed to... she wears it on her sleeve, and all of her books wear it on their jackets. Had her philosophy not been the motivation behind the books, then we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Now this:
johngalt wrote:Besides the fact that you are using Quantum theory to try to argue against a philosophy based on Newtonian systems. Any physicist will tell you that this doesn't work.
You have that backwards.
johngalt wrote:Until we figure out the theory of everything (M-Theory) you cannot try to apply them here.
That's coming dangerously close to becoming both a word salad and an appeal to ignorance. Knowing something is quite different from knowing everything. Attempting to say otherwise is tantamount to hard-line skepticism, as we can never know everything.
johngalt wrote:Philosophy is not concerned with quantum physics.
Ahh, but physics is concerned with philosophy in that, if your philosophy contradicts the science, then your philosophy is wrong. This would be the same thing as saying, "It's my personal philosophy that I can float around at will, and you can't use the theory of gravity to say otherwise, because philosphy isn't concerned with physics".
johngalt wrote:I am afraid the qualms you listed are based on a misinterpretation of Rand.
Strange that you, being of the "A is A" camp might mention that. My complaints, and you might run back there and actually read past the first 3 lines to verify this, come from the literal reading of her claims on epistemology and metaphysics.

Pets, Pets, Pets
Note: Once again the opinions expressed this week may (or may not) be those of your friendly pet columnist. My Afghan Hound, the BEACON Beauty Queen, returns with practical ideas about dressing up your dog for Halloween.
She first commandeered this column 12/8/05 when I reluctantly allowed her to spout grooming advice. Actually I was merely pacifying my snobby sighthound since I canceled her modeling audition in the city after she, clad in a sequined Spider Woman ensemble, took off through Northport at a charity event. Unfortunately there's no living with her now because she just learned at lure coursing that her pal, Glory, a Pharaoh Hound, wore a real Van Cleef & Arpels necklace down the runway during Pet Fashion Week in NYC. Sorry, but I had to let the Beauty Queen guest/ghost write again….
The Beauty Queen's turn to speak: Sure, my daffy guardian, that Edith Head Case, thinks she knows it all about canine couture since she's been dressing Afghans and shelter dogs for over 25 years, but, "I coulda been a contender". She ruined my chance at stardom. How was I to know that "runway" didn't mean "run away"? Ignore her; listen to me. I'm the one with the needle nose for fashion and, more important, the one with the Cher hair, chiseled cheekbones and wasp waist. Halloween is a week away. If you're planning on taking Trixie trick or treating, here are a few tips:
•Originality: The costumes in the pet stores and catalogs are cute, but they are a dime a dozen. No dog wants to see herself coming and going. Heaven forbid, she show up at a pooch party and some Poodle has on the same outfit. If your dog is large, look through your own closet and customize your clothes. Better yet- go to a thrift store, the most original canine creations come from garage sales and vintage shops. Short cropped tops- sequins, lamé, satinwork best. My vast wardrobe consists mainly of hand-me downs from her late Afghans and recent finds at "Bon Marché" in Babylon. Small dogs often fit in children's or doll clothes.
Joanne tried a store-bought costume once. What a fashion faux pas! She still laments about the Halloween in the '90s when she showed up at the vet with Alan, a large Afghan wearing a skeleton leotard. Her vet took one look at Alan and quipped: "He's not anatomically correct."
•Tailoring: Your poor pet has to be able to walk in his costume. Make sure the leggings are not too long or tight. All canine costumes need adjustments for the moments when nature calls. For tee-shirts or dresses, a rubberband strategically gathered at the dog's side protects the garment and gives your pooch freedom to "express" himself. Velcro straps can secure the disguise to the collar and around the rib cage; just be careful Velcro doesn't pull on long tresses. Ouch!
•Hats & Head Pieces: Most dogs despise elastic and shake off head gear; however, visors with ear holes and snoods look best on dogs with long ears. (We Afghans rule here.) Reindeer antlers made for dogs are usually top heavy and tip over. For better results-buy the antlers made for cats.
Dogs with big block heads are photogenic in hats. My silly owner has found that shy shelter dogs are the most cooperative models. They are more apt to tolerate the temporary torture long enough for a picture. Bandannas are versatile, so try tying them different ways. Subtle positioning changes everything. Note the poster dog. Joanne was going for the rock star look, but if the knot shows, it says "tooth ache" or "Aunt Jemima".
•Accessories: Less is more. Dogs, outside of goofy retrievers, will not sport a prop. You need to carry Popeye's spinach or Tinkerbelle's wand for them. Neither will the typical dog put up with anything that covers his eyes or limits his movement. Trevor, my predecessor Afghan, was the exception to the rule. He wore a long strand pearls over his Gloria Swanson get-up and posed in the yard for hours, barking at passerby to come admire him. I'm told no one, but Trevor, took him seriously.
Special "Costume Dog" For Adoption: Despite what my Beauty Queen says about me, Babylon Town Shelter's poster dog (631-643-9270) "Santana" was extremely obliging for his celebrity namesake photo session. "Oye como va": This pathetic 4 yr. old Shepherd/Retriever in Cage 59 has had a tough life. He was surrendered by an elderly lady. Santana lived on a chain outside with no doghouse where he was pestered by flies. Floor surfaces bewilder him because he only knew outdoors. Hard to believe, he is still a very loving dog who buries his head in your lap, and desperately needs a patient someone who can teach him about the good life. Babylon Town Shelter is located at 51 Lamar St. W. Babylon; open 10 to 3:45 weekdays and 10 to 2:45 on Sat. for adoptions.
Cats: "Archie, Betty, & Veronica'- sweet, sociable 6 mon. old kittens in the Cat Colony room are purrfect examples of cooperation between a municipal shelter and private rescue. I was allowed to isolate and medicate these 3 kittens at the shelter for a month; 5 more were treated at a Last Hope vet. All fine now, they have been leukemia tested, and have their rabies shots. "Archie" is neutered, and his lady friends are scheduled to be spayed soon.
More dogs: 3 male Cocker Spanielsseparate cases of neglect; "Zach"- tiny Shih tzu - an abandoned SPCA seizure Cage 29; "Matisse" the Chow mix Cage 13; Hound Cage 9; big Buster-Cage 21.

Solar Decathlon Heads to California for 2013 Event
January 11, 2013
For the first time, the U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon will be held outside of Washington, D.C. This fall, 20 collegiate teams will head
to the Orange Country Great Park in Irvine, California, to compete in this award-winning showcase of energy-efficient
and solar-powered houses.
The free event will take place in a specially constructed village Oct. 3–13, 2013. The competition houses will be open to visitors on eight days over two weekends. Public hours will be from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily:
- Thursday, Oct. 3–Sunday, Oct. 6, 2013
- Thursday, Oct. 10–Sunday, Oct. 13, 2013.
The Solar Decathlon will be the main attraction for the Energy XPO at the Orange County Great Park, which will be an exposition of clean energy technology products and education.
Applying NREL's Expertise to this Challenging Competition
Since the event's conception in 1999 and debut in 2002, NREL has provided the organizational and technical support for the Solar Decathlon. NREL's work on this award-winning event includes:
- Defining and adjudicating the competition rules
- Conducting safety and building code reviews of the collegiate team house designs and assemblies
- Implementing a temporary, ground-laid electrical microgrid
- Providing outreach communications through a variety of mediums.
More than 50 NREL employees contribute to the project during each competition cycle, collectively engaging a unique skill set to produce an educational exhibit for the public and a competitive sport for collegiate architects and engineers. Each competition results in 20 unique solutions to rules that incentivize the teams to exceed the latest standards, apply innovative technologies, and showcase market-ready solutions.
Accelerating the Market for Solar Technology
Solar Decathlon educates millions of people about the benefits of accelerating the integration of energy-efficient and solar-energy technologies into marketplaces worldwide. Since 2002, the Solar Decathlon has:
- Educated the public about the benefits, affordability, and availability of clean energy solutions by generating widespread media coverage and harnessing digital tools to reach tens of millions of people
- Involved 112 collegiate teams, which pursued a multidisciplinary approach to study the requirements for designing and building energy-efficient, solar-powered houses
- Established a worldwide reputation as a successful educational program and workforce development opportunity for thousands of students
- Affected the lives of nearly 18,000 collegiate participants and thousands of K-12 students through on-site programs for regional schools
- Generated industry involvement through partnerships and sponsorships
- Leveraged a 10:1 investment by teams to U.S. Department of Energy funding
- Expanded internationally to currently include 65 participating teams and nearly 10,000 students participating in three different competitions around the world: Solar Decathlon Europe 2012, Solar Decathlon China 2013, and Solar Decathlon 2013.
Featuring 10 Contests and 20 Collegiate Teams
The Solar Decathlon is a competition that challenges collegiate teams to design and build energy-efficient houses powered by the sun. These teams spend almost two years creating houses to compete in 10 contests:
- Architecture
- Market Appeal
- Engineering
- Communications
- Affordability
- Comfort Zone
- Hot Water
- Appliances
- Home Entertainment
- Energy Balance.
Each contest is worth 100 points, making 1,000 total points possible. The team with the most points at the end of the competition wins. The winning team produces a house that:
- Balances energy production and consumption
- Is cost-effective, attractive, and easy to live in
- Maintains comfortable indoor living conditions
- Supplies energy to household appliances for cooking, cleaning, and entertainment
- Provides sufficient hot water.
The 20 student teams selected to participate in Solar Decathlon 2013 represent four countries and two continents and include 9 returning teams, 11 new teams, and four international teams.
