Dying to Meet Him: I'm Dying and I Feel 'Dumb'
Gabrielle "Elle" Devenish, a 30-year-old single Christian woman, was told by doctors that she has 6 months to a year to live.
"My heart, lungs, bones and muscles have all deteriorated beyond repair, according to doctors. My white blood cell count continues to match that of a last-stage chemo patient and my electrolytes are always on the edge."

Tuck Me In, God!
(Originally posted February 2, 2012)
Though I was feeling a deep sense of loss the whole morning, grieving the things I'll never be able to do again, yesterday turned out not being a bad day at all.
All day, I was just kind of mopey about the fun things I used to do: experimenting in the kitchen for hours, traveling the world, hiking in the mountain, spending 3 hours at one of Las Vegas' luxury buffets (sampling gourmet food to my heart's delight), drinking a fine bottle of wine with a friend at one of Denver's fanciest restaurants.....
I was also very frustrated and angry with my mental decline. I used to be so intelligent and creative. Now my short-term memory is shot and I can only concentrate on something for a short period of time. I used to have a huge vocabulary and was so articulate. Now when I speak to people, I mix up words, forget words and drift off a lot. Basically, I feel dumb compared to the girl I once was.
My social worker came in the afternoon and she was able to help me pinpoint those feelings. God also convicted me of trying to wrest control from Him. Control over WHEN.
I was feeling helpless about how much longer I had to endure this slowly declining body and mind, wishing that God would just let me be with Him sooner. I'm sick of the emotional process of losing one function after another and ready to go be with Him in heaven.
But I am not in control of WHEN. Though I now know I have a short time left on this earth, I have no idea the exact length of time I will die.
I came to terms with this then, and really asked God for forgiveness for griping about this journey I have been given, however long it may be.
Later that evening, my mom and I went to a movie at the dollar theater and had dinner at one of my favorite Japanese restaurants. Although I could only eat a little bit before I was full (did I mention I never get hungry anymore?), I had all my favorites. We stopped at my favorite frozen yogurt place on the way home and got ours to go.
At home, after putting the leftovers in the fridge and the yogurt in the freezer, my mom left, intending to come back around 10 to give me my medicine and tuck me in.
But I was so incredibly tired. I watched TV for about half an hour and then just felt like sleeping. So I got ready for bed and called my mom at the hotel to come over and tuck me in.
She gave me my medicine, rubbed my back and told me a story as I drifted to sleep, just as she did when I was a child.
I was in bed at 9 and asleep by 9:30. I usually stay up until midnight, sometimes later!
I woke up this morning at 9:30 – late for me – to a new day. 12 hours of sleep! I guess my body just really needed it. Hey, Psalm 127:2 says "He gives His beloved sleep."
But as I begin this day I'm once again at peace, knowing that He has my time in His hands. He has the ultimate plan for my life – and death. All I need to know He has given me another day to seek and serve Him. And I'm ok with it.
Today's Daily Bread devotional reading says it best:
"My times are in my Father's hand;
How could I wish or ask for more?
For He who has my pathway planned
Will guide me till my journey's o'er. – Fraser"

Davis hits 27th homer, but O's fall on walk-off

TORONTO -- A clash between two division rivals and a pair of the hottest teams in the American League did not disappoint on Friday.
But for the Orioles, they came out on the wrong end of a contest that saw six balls leave the yard and the Blue Jays celebrating their ninth consecutive victory in style.View Full Game Coverage
Pedro Strop surrendered a walk-off single to Rajai Davis in the bottom of the ninth and the Orioles fell, 7-6, in the first of a three-game set in front 35,472 at Rogers Centre.
"That is kind of the American League ... especially in the American League East, that's just part of the equation. That's nothing new," Orioles manager Buck Showalter, who was ejected in the second inning, said about the long balls. "Mistakes go places other than out to the grass -- sometimes they go where you can't catch them."
One of those mistakes came back to bite the Orioles after they built their first lead in the sixth and took a 6-4 lead into the seventh inning.
Baltimore appeared to be in a good spot with two outs in the frame and a favorable matchup -- hard-throwing righty Tommy Hunter up against the light-hitting Munenori Kawasaki. But Kawasaki, an unlikely hero, came through with a two-run homer, the first of his career, to tie the game at 6-6 and send the Toronto crowd into a frenzy.
Hunter threw him a 1-1 cutter that Kawasaki turned on to change the complexion of the game.
"He got it. Tip your cap. I'm going to throw it again tomorrow," Hunter said. "We're not down, that's definitely not the way we roll."
The big blow, however, came against Strop, who hasn't been anything like the version Baltimore was treated to in 2012.
With two on and two out in the ninth, the Orioles turned to Strop after lefty Brian Matusz recorded the first two outs. But Davis made them pay for that decision, ripping a 1-1 pitch into left field for the win, which marked the second consecutive time the Blue Jays have beaten the Orioles on a walk-off hit.
The last time these two teams met, in late May, Toronto managed a series split after winning on a Kawasaki walk-off double.
"It felt like a different atmosphere out there," Davis said. "The fans were into it. Playing a good team in Baltimore, so it was definitely exciting to go out there and play."
Strop, who was one of Baltimore's bullpen anchors in 2012, sports a 6.87 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over 27 appearances this season.
The Orioles fought for six innings to take a lead, but once they did, it was only short-lived, as the bullpen couldn't hold it.
Baltimore hit three homers -- the 14th time the club has hit at least three in a game this season -- off Blue Jays starter R.A. Dickey to spoil what was looking like a strong outing from the knuckleballer.
Dickey took a 3-1 lead into the sixth before the Orioles got to him. Adam Jones, who extended his hitting streak against the Blue Jays to 17 games, smacked an RBI single to cut the deficit to 3-2 before slugger Chris Davis stepped to the plate and gave the Orioles their first lead.
Davis, who had struck out his first two times against Dickey, drilled an opposite-field, three-run homer to put Baltimore in front, 5-3. It was Davis' Major League-leading 27th homer of the season.
"The first couple times I faced him, I think he was trying to get ahead. I think I swung at some balls out of the zone," said Davis, whose 12 homers against Toronto are more than any player since the start of the 2012 season.
"It's tough when you're facing a guy that throws a knuckleball, because sometimes it starts in the zone and then leaves. But it was one of those things, a couple guys on and I was looking for a pitch out over the plate to drive and didn't try to do too much."
Ryan Flaherty tacked on a run the following inning, crushing a solo homer, his third long ball of the year, to give Baltimore a 6-4 lead. Dickey lasted one more batter before exiting with one on and none out in the seventh.
The knuckleballer, who has failed to beat the Orioles in three starts, appeared to be changing his fortunes until the O's got to him late. Other than a J.J. Hardy solo homer in the second inning, Dickey was strong over the first five innings. Dickey lasted six innings plus two batters, allowing six runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out five.
He sports a 7.72 ERA against the Orioles over 18 2/3 innings this season.
"I think it's just seeing him on a consistent basis," Davis said. "[But] he had it working for him for a little bit."
Dickey was matched up against Jason Hammel, who pitched well in between two homers he surrendered on the night. After allowing a two-run shot to Adam Lind in the first inning, Hammel retired 10 straight, and other than an Edwin Encarnacion solo shot in the sixth, he was in control for much of the contest.
The right-hander, who hadn't pitched for nine days because of a stomach virus, allowed four runs over six innings, while walking one and striking out seven. He topped out at 96 mph and felt his ability to mix speeds allowed him to keep Toronto's hitters in check.
"Stuff wise, comparable to the best all year. I felt great," said Hammel, who has a 5.30 ERA over 15 starts.
Baltimore's three homers extended its season total to 101, best in the Majors. The Orioles are 19-11 in their last 30 games.

MAC is zeroing on blush with their collection Cremeblend Blush. Powder blush wearers now how another option since this blush is a cream. This product is one of MAC's permanents so if you like it, you'll always be able to get it.
This collection is one of MAC's smaller collections since it focuses only on blush. There are six different color options ranging from mauves, to corals, to browns. Although the collection isn't very big, it appears that the colors have pretty much covered the bases for all of the basic skin tones out there. So if you are interested in trying a Cremeblend blush, you should be able to find a color that suits you.
It's a creamy blush, hence the name Cremeblend. The blush offers a unique blend of ingredients to create a cream blush to blend on rather than a powder blush. My educated guess is that the blush should be longer lasting because cream tends to bond to the skin better than a powder.
I am not a big blush wearer, but I do recognize that it has its time and place. When the occasion calls for it, blush can be an absolute necessity. Up until now, I've only ever used powder blushes. I will be curious to see if I like the cream blush better.
For every contour control freak, for every persistent perfectionist comes this wondrous way to play with blush that gives you the most magnificent flexibility you've ever had…Starts creamy, stays creamy and proves that powder is NOT your only prerogative. Make powdery a thing of the past.
Cremeblend Blush (Permanent)
Brit Wit—Dusty rosy mauve
Ladyblush—Warm neutral coral
Posey—Warm peach
So Sweet, So Easy—Bright yellow pink
Something Special—Light coral
Tea Petal—Mid-tone reddish brown

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Entering its final weekend of tournament play, the Tennessee Tech softball team will travel to Woodstock, Ga. to take part in the Buzz Classic, hosted by Georgia Tech. While the Golden Eagles will not face the Yellow Jackets, they will take on four solid teams this weekend.
Tech opens with a single game on Friday against Georgia State. The Panthers will enter the game with a record of 11-4, plus the result of their cross-town rivalry game Wednesday against Georgia Tech. The Golden Eagles will face a pitching staff that holds batters to a .239 average and allows fewer than three earned runs per game. The first pitch for that matchup is slated for 1:30 CST.
Saturday sees Tech playing a pair of games, taking on UNC Greensboro at 3:00 and Southeastern Louisiana at 5:00. In the first game, the Golden Eagles square off against a 3-8 Spartan team that has won its last two games. In the nightcap, Tech faces the 2-13 Lions who are looking to end a five-game losing streak, pending their game Wednesday against Southern.
The Golden Eagles wrap up tournament play on Sunday with an 11:00 a.m. game against Kennesaw State. The Owls (8-5) have been strong this season, winning eight of nine games in one stretch, but have lost their last four. They boast two power hitters who are slugging more than 1.000 and have five home runs each. As a team, the Owls have struck out just 49 times this season and allowed only 15 earned runs.
Following the Buzz Classic, the Golden Eagles will hold their home opener on March 6, a doubleheader against IPFW starting at 1:00 p.m.

General Invertebrates
The General Invertebrates Collection is worldwide in scope, with emphasis on localities in the Eastern and Gulf Coasts of the United States. The collection contains dry and alcohol-preserved specimens representing 14 phyla which includes Protozoa, Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Gastrotricha, Rotifera, Nemata, Nematomorpha, Annelida, Arthropoda, Bryozoa, Brachiopoda, and Echinodermata. The systematically arranged collection contains 18,000 lots, about evenly divided between dry, alcohol-preserved, and prepared slides of specimens. Additionally, approximately 7,500 uncatalogued, unarranged alcohol-preserved lots document more recent collections by Academy researchers and their colleagues.
The collection of types contains widely dispersed world localities. Many of these specimens represent collections acquired from foreign researchers, individual donors, and specimens surviving from world-venturing expeditions. Many specimens were collected during the Academy's first expedition, in 1817-1818, to the Sea Islands of Georgia and the east coast of Florida. Some specimens from such famous expedition as the United States Exploring Expedition around the world (1838-1842) were deposited with the Academy. Other specimens are accessory collections from Academy expeditions that concentrated on other areas of investigation; for example, many collectors and expeditions familiar to workers in the mollusk collection can be found sporadically through the entire General Invertebrates Collection.
The collection is strong in the arthropod class Crustacea, particularly the Decapoda, and in the phylum Annelida, particularly the classes Polychaeta and Hirudinoidea. Important taxonomically restricted collections within the overall collections are:
Since 1948, staff of the Patrick Center for Environmental Research at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia have surveyed the aquatic fauna and flora of more than 100 watersheds and estuaries, mostly in the eastern US, but also in Canada, Puerto Rico, and Peru. They used techniques pioneered by Academy scientist Dr. Ruth Patrick, for whom the Patrick Center is named. The surveys covered a broad range of taxa, including fish, diatoms, algae, sponges, flatworms, annelids, mollusks, crustaceans and insects, and aimed to determine the health of aquatic ecosystems.

Generalization of the Local Effect Model – Biological Treatment Planning from Protons to Carbon Ions
Suche in Medline nach
|24. September 2009
Background: Charged particle cancer therapy exploits the beneficial physical and biological properties of ions for a highly tumour conform irradiation. A major hindrance for a widespread use of this radiotherapy modality is the uncertainty in the biological effectiveness of the ions. The Local Effect Model (LEM) developed at GSI is currently the only model in therapeutic use that takes into account the dependences of the RBE on energy and LET of the primary beam and all its fragments, the tissue under consideration and the dose level. It calculates the RBE of different ions for cell lines or tissues starting from the corresponding experimental/clinical photon data and an amorphous track structure model. In recent years, we focused on the application in carbon ion therapy, where we found a good accuracy. Here, we present a substantial generalization of the LEM while keeping its main ideas.
Materials and methods: According to LEM, the biological response of ions can be determined by a transfer of the photon dose response. Instead of transferring the biological effect based on the local dose, in the novel approach the distribution of double strand breaks (DSBs) is considered, thus additionally taking into account interactions on a few hundred nanometer scale. Specifically, we distribute the DSBs around ion tracks according to the local dose and the photon response curve for the induction of DSBs. Then, we score the number of DSB pairs within a certain distance. We found that the number of DSB pairs relative to the deposited dose is a good quantity to relate different radiation qualities. By application of the (clinical) photon dose response curve, we can exploit the well established linear-quadratic parameters a and b to determine the dose response after particle irradiation. We compare this novel approach to n-vitro and in-vivo data. Finally, we apply the generalized LEM to calculate the biologically effective dose along a spread-out Bragg peak.
Results: By comparison with a large number of in-vitro experiments, we find good agreement between measurements and predictions of the generalized LEM for the entire range of ion species and ion energies relevant for radiotherapy. Also for extended volumes typically irradiated in particle therapy, the model calculations show the same accuracy for protons, helium ions and carbon ions. Especially the therapeutic ratio, namely the ratio of the high RBE in the target volume and the low RBE in the entrance channel, is nicely reproduced for all these particles. It was also applied for an analysis of the RBE in the distal part of the SOBP of proton and helium irradiations.
Conclusions: The generalized LEM facilitates accurate RBE predictions from protons up to oxygen ions with the same approach. Therefore, its range of applicability is largely extended. Importantly, it is suitable to directly compare the RBE-weighted dose for different ion species and will thus help to optimize ion tumor therapy.

You have a light source behind him, which should produce a halo effect on the hair and all edges where it has a chance to reflect off of. That light source seems to be nearly ignored in your picture. The next bit of lihgt is the fill lihgt in front bringing out his features. Depending on where you look, both of his hands, his chest, his face, each surface in the front is recieving light in totally different places and from totally different locations. It looks like you mainly want to use a light coming from underneath, as seen by his face and a couple of differnt areas, such as one of the nads and neck. The direction this lihgt is coming from gets muddled espescially if you look at either hand. In one the light source looks like it's coming from the right, in the other it's coming from the right, but also from above. The light on his chest looks like you're trying to kind of make some illumination come from the heart, but it's not totally coming through. Try different coloured light for different lihgt sources. You don't need to have light coming from the heart directly, it can bounce off the chest and help to illuminate other parts of the body. The light on the neck and face can be done. If you look at something like Kingdom Come by Alex Ross, you can see that the light from below hleps to give the characters a slightly unreal or godlike look. Usually you wouldn't do that, but if you can get it to work good on you. Lastly I would push your values a little more. The whites are nice and white, but areas which are in shadow, or are darker aren't dark enough to give the full effect of existing in space. Lastly I just have to say the mouth looks creepy. Keep us updated. It's going good so far._________________"It's not the tools you use but how you use them that counts."

Wet, windy and chilly conditions on Friday made for a miserable night in more ways than one for the Henry County Wildcats.
The Cats fell 21-0 to visiting Spencer County in the regular season finale, a game in which the dismal conditions resulted in turnovers for both teams.
But Spencer County found enough offense to take advantage of the Wildcats' miscues, scoring 3 touchdowns on the night. Henry County mustered just 108 yards of total offense for the evening.

NWSB Insider and Seattle Mariners blogger Danny Ferguson reports on what he believes are prudent expectations for newly signed Canadian major leaguer Jason Bay. He points out though this is a long shot, remember that Jason Bay was the 2004 National League Rookie of the Year, 2009 Silver Slugger and a 3 time All Star. Nothing is what Ferg has come to expect from the M's, so even if it doesn't work, Bay has met his expectations.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—A Colorado Springs woman has been convicted of first-degree murder in a robbery that ended with two men shot, one fatally.
Frani Olivas wasn't accused of pulling the trigger, but prosecutors said she helped plot a 2011 robbery at an Auto Zone store that led to the death of Joaquin Paniagua.
According to the Colorado Springs Gazette ( http://tinyurl.com/bhhxc2g), Olivas was convicted Thursday under the state's felony murder statute, which applies when someone is killed during the commission of a felony. She faces life in prison without parole.
A co-defendant, Edward Coffey, admitted last year that he carried out the shootings when the robbery went bad. He has already been sentenced to life in prison without parole.

"Sand Dalton began playing the baroque oboe in 1975 after graduating from the California Institute of the Arts, where he studied modern oboe with Allan Vogel. A year later he made his first instrument and began an extensive and on-going study of historical oboes which has taken him to many museums and private collections both in Europe and North America.
Concurrently, he has pursued an active career as a performer and teacher. Over the years he has performed and recorded with many ensembles, including the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, Boston Baroque, the Handel and Haydn Society, Magnificat, Portland Baroque Orchestra, Seattle Baroque and the Pacific Baroque Orchestra of Vancouver, B.C. His long experience playing in baroque orchestral and chamber music has provided him with an ideal 'laboratory' in which to test and refine his ideas about making good musical instruments.
He has been of the faculties of the New England Conservatory, the University of British Columbia and Longy School of Music, as well as taught at the summer workshops for the San Francisco Early Music Society, Vancouver Early Music Program, Amherst Early Music Workshop and the International Baroque Institute at Longy. In 2000 be began directing his own summer workshop for baroque oboes and bassoons on Lopez Island in Washington State.

"Richard Seraphinoff has been producing accurate copies of 18th and 19th century horns since 1983. His Baroque and Classical model orchestra horns are played regularly by hornists in period instrument ensembles throughout the United States, as well as in ensembles in Europe, Scandinavia, Japan, and elsewhere.
The various models cover music from Bach and Handel, through Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven, into the early Romantic period, including the early valve horn.
His concept of making historical horns is that of making a fine playing instrument, copied as directly and meticulously as possible from an original from a specific period, with as few compromises and alterations as possible. Using measurements from the original, and traditional handworking methods and materials, an instrument is made that functions well in the type of ensemble or setting for which it was intended, and makes a sound that would have been familiar to, and respected by, the players and composers who originally used the instrument."

"I have been making replicas of historical bassoons since 1984 and modern bassoon bocals since 1993. The following pages contain information on current models.
These instruments are all handmade to order with most models offering a choice of wood, various tuning options, and custom requests such as silver keywork. Delivery times vary depending on the length of my waiting list and can be estimated when an order is placed. Please inquire about pricing and deposits, or write for any further information.

"While the first instrument I played was the modern oboe, the first instruments I made were harpsichords and organs. A talent for metal and woodworking as well as an attraction to early music led me to recreating woodwinds of the past. It was 1973 and I bought a metal lathe and designed and made my first instruments: cornamuse and bagpipes. The pipes were born of the revelation that, according to the iconography, pipes were played all over the Old World and in a multitude of forms. I remember the first thing I played, the Cantiga #1 of the Cantigas de Sancta Maria. It was a hit! No one had thought of using a bagpipe, in spite of the pipers dancing in the marginalia!
In the same period I bought a milling machine and started designing and making cane processing machines, profilers, shapers, and tooling for other makers. In 1983 I started working for Levin Historical Instruments and was introduced to and made a full array of woodwinds: bassoon, dulcian, clarinet, oboe, shawm, and recorders. In 1993 Leslie Ross, the bassoon maker, and I set up shop in New York City.
When I am finished with an instrument hopefully it will look beautiful. But it is the collaboration with a growing number of fine musicians who are further gifted with an understanding of bore and tone holes that turns my work into musical instruments!

"Folkers & Powell make professional-quality baroque flutes and other historical transverse flutes closely modeled on excellent original designs from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries.
We believe that music, instruments, and playing styles are all interconnected, so that music has the best effect when realized with sympathy, using instruments and performance conventions current when it was created.
For this reason we make every effort to capture the unique qualities of tone and intonation in the original instruments we copy. Since our partnership began in 1984 our flutes have earned a worldwide reputation for uncompromising accuracy and faithfulness of spirit. Our customers range all the way from beginners on the baroque flute to the world's leading exponents.
Research on contemporary music and playing styles also plays a large part in our work. We have built a separate educational site at flutehistory.com to give information on historical matters not directly related to the flutes we make.
If you are new to the world of historical flutes, begin at our start page. If you would like help staying in touch with the latest ideas and research, we suggest you subscribe to the quarterly newsletter TRAVERSO. " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"I study, make, and play historical transverse flutes, and write about the history of the flute and flute-playing.
After studying English at Magdalene College, Cambridge and baroque flute at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, I was a co-founder of Folkers & Powell, Makers of Historical Flutes in 1984. I received my Ph.D. in music from Cambridge University in 2004.
My research interests involve applying recent work in the sociology of culture and of technology (especially that done in Science and Technology Studies and empirical sociology) to questions in music history, with a particular focus on musical performance, instruments, and taste. My specialization is the history of the flute and flute-playing, particularly in the baroque and classical periods, and I have published studies of the writings and instruments of J. G. Tromlitz (1725-1805), a writer on flute-playing and an innovative flute maker as well as a noted virtuoso and a composer.
My work has been supported by awards including a Fellowship for College Teachers and Independent Scholars from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and published in several books and a number of articles listed in detail on on another page."

"I started making wooden flutes in 1994 and my interest rapidly expanded to include wooden whistles, low whistles and recorders. My thirst for information on woodwind instruments and their making led me to Matthew Dart's evening classes at the London Furniture College (now the London Guildhall University). Having had some 30 years experience in mechanical engineering, my progress was rapid, and very soon the new dicipline had completely taken over my life.
Today I make woodwinds of the flute family (Transverse flutes, recorders, whistles and low whistles) for customers all over the world. I make instruments based on originals from as early as the 13th century, including my own versions of the Gottingen recorder and Dordrecht recorder, I also make flutes and recorders based on those from the Renaissance period as well as my own designs of flute, whistle,low whistle and recorder for use by todays traditional musicians.

" .. . In the 1930s Carl Dolmetsch completed the upper end of the family with the sopranino as well as producing recorders at modern pitch - until then all production had been at low pitch. Production at low and modern pitch continues side by side to the present day. The company continued making many kinds of hand-made early musical instruments (viols, lutes, harps, rebecs, harpsichords, spinets, clavichords, recorders, pipes and tabors, tambourin, psalteries, and so on). A delightful, though not wholly uncritical, description of the Dolmetsch workshop (as it was in 1947) is given by Frank Hubbard who, in that year, joined the firm as an apprentice.
The first Dolmetsch plastic recorders were manufactured in 1947, establishing the name in the area of educational musical instrument manufacture. More recently the Company has formed manufacturing and design associations with other manufacturers (including Coolsma in Holland - owned by Aafab b.v.) to broaden the range of instruments bearing the Dolmetsch name. However, the family (Jeanne Dolmetsch, Marguerite Dolmetsch and Brian Blood) continues to this day to play a central role designing, promoting and making, setting the standard of craftsmanship and reliability for which the company is justifiably famous. .."

He put cornetts in the hands of the late David Munrow and, largely through Munrow's Early Music Consort of London, the cornetto began to regain its former popularity.

Gogo, a provider of in-flight Wi-Fi service, has released some information on device usage during flights, revealing that Apple devices remain the most popular with passengers. Tablets and smartphones now make up 67% of all devices connecting to Gogo. Tablets are the single most popular device at 35%, and Apple devices are by far the most popular brand. Gogo says:
Apple devices are still reigning above the clouds, following the tablet trend with the iPad being the device of choice. Among all mobile devices being used to connect through Gogo, 84 percent carry Apple's iOS operating system while 16 percent carry the Android operating system. If you look only at the smartphones our customers are using, the iPhone makes up 73 percent and all Android devices make up 26 percent, with Blackberry and Windows based devices each making up less than 1 percent of devices being used in air.
The number one activity among passengers using in-flight Wi-Fi was general web browsing, followed by email and social networking. Given that Apple devices, and iOS devices in particular, are the most popular, it's no surprise that Safari is the most popular browser. It's worth noting that while Apple still clearly leads in in-flight Wi-Fi usage, Android has made significant gains since 2011, when it was at a low of 3.2% usage.
This is just the latest in many, many metrics reports that show iOS devices get used more than competing devices. Whether that's because they're easier or more enjoyable to use, or because the types of people most likely to really use mobile devices gravitate towards iOS devices isn't clear.
Any theories on why Apple devices seem to get used so much more than the competition?

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
OK, the progression may not go just that smoothly for the 50 prospects who will participate in the 12th Annual XM Futures Game as part of Taco Bell All-Star Sunday on July 11, 2010, in Anaheim, but the precedent is certainly there.
The rosters of those selected to play in one of baseball's greatest showcases of young talent have been released, and both the World and U.S. corps are littered with some of the brightest talent in the Minors.
And if last year's roster is any indication, the participants in the Futures game could be on the fast track to the Majors. Major League rookies Brian Matusz, Jason Heyward, Starlin Castro and Pedro Alvarez are just a sampling of nearly two dozen of last year's participants who have already landed on Major League rosters. And, in total, there are 201 players who competed in one of the first 11 Futures Games now on Major League rosters.
"That's the plan," Rays' prospect Desmond Jennings, who will be playing in his second straight Futures Game said of a potential leap to the big leagues. "I hope it works out like that."
Who will be the next prospect to make the big jump to the Majors? Only time will tell, but fans will get an early peak at their teams' most talented prospects on a big stage at the Futures Game.
The 12th annual Futures Game can be seen live on MLB.TV, ESPN2 and ESPN2 HD at 6 p.m. ET and followed live on MLB.com's Gameday. In addition, XM Radio will broadcast play-by-play coverage of the event live on XM 175.
MLB.com will also provide complete coverage before, during and after the game.
It's not all for the exposure, though. The U.S. team will be attempting to end a three-year losing streak to the World Team. Overall, the World holds a slight 6-5 advantage after taking a wet and wild affair last year at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
Major League Baseball, along with with the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau, MLB.com, Baseball America, USA Baseball and the 30 Major League Baseball Clubs, selected the 25-man rosters for each club.
Each organization is represented, and the World Team features players from 10 countries and territories. Players from all full-season Minor Leagues were eligible to participate.
The U.S. team is chock full of high-round Draft talent, with seven first-round picks who have made a quick impact out of the 2009 Draft.
Add that to the four players representing the '08 Draft and three from '07, and the total is a remarkable 14 first-rounders on the U.S. team alone.
Leading the way on the U.S. squad are two of the Minors' brightest prospects, both out of the Tampa Bay organization: Jennings and pitcher Jeremy Hellickson.
Jennings, ranked No. 6 on MLB.com's preseason Top 50 Prospects list, has continued to impress at Triple-A Durham, playing alongside Hellickson, who was No. 20 on the list. Since Jennings will be a rare repeat player at the Game, he already has a good idea of the excitement awaiting everyone.
"It's always fun playing in a big league stadium, playing in front of a lot of people," he said.
"All the talent that is going to be there, you're probably going to play with some real good players."
Hellickson, who is backlogged behind a talented young Major League rotation in Tampa Bay, has dominated International League hitters to the tune of 9-2 and a 2.33 ERA. It's certainly an honor he's earned, though not one he was expecting.
"Just to play in a Futures Game, just to know that people think highly of you and want you to play in one the biggest games there is for Minor League players, it makes you feel good about yourself and all that you've accomplished so far."
The talented right-hander may not be in the big leagues yet, but he'll certainly get a taste for it in Anaheim.
"To travel and play in this game in a big league stadium will be fun.
I'm just hoping I get play in another big league stadium later in the year," Hellickson said, referring to a potential late-season callup.
But Hellickson and Jennings have been wowing big league scouts for some time, and the impressive thing about this group is that it includes a plethora of players who are being recognized for their accomplishments just a year after being drafted.
Pirates' catching prospect Tony Sanchez falls into that catagory. The No. 4 overall pick by the Bucs in 2009, Sanchez signed early and played at three levels last season before finishing the year with Class A Advanced Lynchburg. This year, he's continued to progress at Class A Advanced Brandenton of the Florida State League, hitting .314 with 35 RBIs.
He's not the only one of his Draft class who has earned the right to play in Anaheim on July 14. He'll be joined by Braves' top pick Mike Minor, Oakland's Grant Green, pitchers Shelby Miller (STL) and Tanner Scheppers (TEX), and outfielders Brett Jackson (CHC) and Mike Trout (LAA).
The US team also features some of the top talent from the '08 and '07 draft classes, with the No. 2 overall pick from '07, Royals third-base prospect Mike Moustakas, and '08's No. 3 overall pick in Eric Hosmer.
Playing at Angels Stadium will be a big step up from the Class A Advanced fields of the Carolina League for Hosmer.
"It's a great honor," Hosmer said after learning of his appointment.
"I've never played in a big league stadium before. This is the first time, and I'm excited about it."
Make no mistake, the U.S. team is loaded with big-name talent, but the World Team isn't a slouch either, with some big names on its side as well. Braves' hurler Julio Tehran and Reds' first baseman Yonder Alonso highlight a squad that is young as a whole but has a immeasurable upside.
At the young age of 19, Teheran has skyrocketed onto the baseball scene this season. Even after a promotion to Class A Advanced Myrtle Beach, the hard-throwing right-hander has steamrolled to 49 strikeouts in 39 innings, to go with a 1.38 ERA.
For Teheran, the chance for his father and uncle to visit from his native Colombia and see him pitch is one of the biggest reasons to celebrate.
"I'm feeling happy right now," Teheran said. "My family, they're going to be happy. … Playing in a big league stadium, that's the best part."
Beyond the Braves' young phenom, the World squad boasts three first-round picks, impressive considering the alternate route many of those players take professional baseball in the U.S. Alonso, Blue Jays' hurler Trystan Magnuson and the Brew Crew's Canadian prospect Brett Lawrie, who will make a repeat performance, were all once first-rounders.
Those three bring the first-round total to an astounding 17 players representing the earliest round of the Draft, promising the game's biggest young stars will be in attendance.

Veterans' Day Message 2016
by Brantley "Buddy" Smith
Assistant Director of Schools and USMC, retired
Good morning and thank you for inviting me to your school and to this celebration of Veterans. I am honored to be here among you and among these veterans.
The first thing I would like to briefly talk about on this Veterans Day is what I call the Kapernick Effect. Colin Kapernick is a backup quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers who has decided, for reasons known only to him, that the flag of the United States of America is a symbol of racism and oppression. To express his displeasure, he takes a knee during the playing of the National Anthem before games. Others, from high school students to college students, to other players in major league sports have jumped on this bandwagon. They clearly have the right to do this under the Constitution. I respectfully disagree with their views and their actions. Having had the opportunity to travel the world, I can tell you firsthand that the vast majority of the rest of the world sees the Stars and Stripes as a symbol of freedom and of liberation from tyranny.
That said, it is because of our veterans that we have the right to protest. Ironically, those probably most offended by these actions are the very ones responsible for securing the Constitutional freedoms that allow Americans to speak freely and exercise freedom of expression. You want to be disrespectful to the flag of the United States? Feel free to do so without consequences. Its legal and its protected. Then, thank a veteran for that right.
Of course, exercising your rights to freedom of speech and freedom of expression does not necessarily make your actions proper or honorable. Exercising your rights responsibly is a function of character, understanding, and respect for the rights of others.
The freedoms we enjoy in this country under the Constitution have endured for over two centuries and serve as the yardstick by which Democracy is measured around the world. Two reasons they have been so enduring, and we as a nation so admired, are the fact we have been so selfless and sacrificing in our defense of them and because we, as a people, have always understood that with great freedom comes great responsibility. I repeat, with great freedom comes great responsibility. Many veterans have sacrificed greatly to secure these freedoms. We have an obligation to exercise them responsibly.
Veterans have had a profound, and positive, influence on my life since the day I was born. My grandfathers were both WW I veterans. My father was a WW II veteran. My father-in law is a Korean War veteran. After college I joined the military and most of the men who trained me were Vietnam veterans. I served 24 years surrounded by veterans. So, what have I learned?
I've learned about habits. Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit".
Watch your Thoughts; they become Words.
Watch your Words; they become Actions.
Watch your Actions; they become Habits.
Watch your Habits; they become Character.
Watch your Character; it becomes your Destiny.
I've learned about selfless service and sacrifice. I've learned to care more about my responsibilities than my rights. Jackie Robinson said, "A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives".
I've learned to respect the rights of all Americans, regardless of race, religion, or ethnic background. You see, courage comes in all shapes, sizes, colors and genders.
I've learned perseverance and hard work. Admiral Bill McCraven, US Navy Seal, said, "If you want to change the world, you must be your very best in the darkest moment." In other words, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
I've learned that humility is a virtue and arrogance is an ugly character trait.
I've learned about leadership. I learned the keys to successful leadership: Integrity, Intiative, and Inspiration.
I've learned that you don't have to be in the military to serve your country and make it better.
I continue to learn from the youngest and latest generation of veterans, the 9/11 generation of young men and women. These are the veterans of the Global War on Terrorism. They are your brothers and sisters, your parents, other family members, your teachers. These are folks you have known all or much of your young lives. What have you learned from them? When was the last time you thanked them for being there for you?
We are a Nation rich in military heroes. Throughout our history, from the Revolution to the Global War on Terrorism, our legacy is one of extraordinary Americans performing great deeds under dire circumstances. So many of our countrymen have laid down their lives and suffered grievous wounds for us, and so many today are prepared to do the same. We are thankful for the dedication, courage, and service of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and Coast Guardsmen. Never let us forget the legacy and sacrifice of those who choose to go in harm's way in service to our country, our families, and our way of life.
Got Freedom? Thank a veteran. Then, thank a teacher. You see, veterans provide an environment for freedom to prosper. Teachers provide the tools you need to make freedom a reality.
