Why Should We Save the Whales?
We constantly fight and argue that panda bears are not having sex, and their species are going extinct. First of all, I'd like to ask TED: Why is it our business if they're not having sex? Why should we cage them into zoos and bagger them into intercourse?
I am currently taking anti-depressants, and my sexual appetite has come to a screeching and devastating halt. Are you going to cage me in a zoo and tell me that I'm going to kill my species if I don't have intercourse?
If we were a small tribe of early humans traveling through prehistoric lands, would we worry if Saber Toothed tigers weren't eating enough, or eating too much human waste?
I would like to argue that the earth obviously has a natural order in which animals exist and go extinct. Since the dawn of the first single-celled organism, some 90% of all the creatures on the planet are now extinct. If Panda Bears were finally extinct, without any human intervention, would it make that drastic of an impact on the sanctuary of this Earth?
If humans finally became extinct, how would that change the Earth? Would the earth live longer, and prosper?
Would any other species come to save us, if we were on the verge of extinction?
Just a thought of the top of my head.

It means we want more and more all the time.
Animals in the nature are behaving according to the "Jungle Law".
It means they are having just what they need and just in time.
Being aware of that, we have to take responsibility and save the world from ourselves

Jun 23 2013: Save whales for the same reason prople save Hot Wheel cars, or baseball cards. . . someday they will be worth a lot.Jun 28 2013: A good question. Deserves a serious answer. The best one I can think of is...

It's in our interests. Given that that all cures or treatments for every disease out there, has before being synthesized come from nature, it would seem to allow things to go extinct, or continue deforestation with the loss of flora and fauna, is in the long term not the smartest of ideas.
As for natural order, yes, I'd agree there is. But because of our very reproductive system, and more recently in the last century our survival rate, we have dramatically changed the equation of balance. When that happens, natural order flys out of the window.
If Panda Bears were finally extinct, without any human intervention, would it make that drastic of an impact on the sanctuary of this Earth? Yes, but in their case it would only be localized to some degree, in that they eat specific bamboo, and so the production of that would stall if they were not there. So by them eating it, it ensures regrowth, which given the original size of the territory would have a micro climate effect, and so a global effect. Which humanity has severely deforested, what consequences that has, is a very difficult simulation to create.
If humans finally became extinct, well nature would 'reclaim' vast tract's of land with vegetation, forests, etc. So I think that's obvious in the consequences for the planet.
If we were going extinct, then no, no other species would save us, you can see that from the influenza viruses that have cause deaths, the sars in Canada that was very problematic. If we did go extinct like that via a virus, lots of insects & small mammals would have a very abundant food supply.
As for Whales, again look at the food source they eat, and look at how they keep it in check, just like the panda's. If they are gone, look up Red tide.
I think the idea is to remember that each and every thing plays a part in a whole, imagine trying to make a simulation of it, then you see what impact even ant's have.Jun 27 2013: I have similar thoughts when I saw many campaigns urging us to save endangered animals.
May be we should follow the principle of "Nature selects, the fittest survives". Some animals like panda they cannot adapt to the changes of the environment so they are going to extinct. When we interrupt the process, sometimes I think that we act like GOD- decide which species to survive, which species to extinct. It may bring unpredictable consequences to future generation (May be good or may be bad). I do not think it is a must to save all the species facing extinction.
According to Taoism, "govern by doing nothing that is against nature " is the best way to live and rule. But I know people would not dare to do nothing. We feel guilty about destroying the nature, we want to show our care and love to other species and of course we worry about our future. Plus,People prefer more than less in everything, including species.
In short, I think saving endangered animals is for human beings, not for the nature itself.
(Thank you for your question, it reminds me to think about this topic more seriously. )Jun 24 2013: We should save the whales because there is so much we do not know.
Let us all admit that all arguments on this subject start and end with our ignorance. We know almost nothing about the relationships between humans and the environment, and just as little about whales and the environment. The whales could be crucial to our existence, and we would have no way to discover that link. It was only a few years ago that we learned how crucial plankton is to our existence.
Until we learn a great deal more about the environment and the way humans fit into the big picture, I think it would be safest to minimize changes to the environment. (I know, too late!)Jun 24 2013: We should try very hard not to cause the extinction of any organism, just as we should refrain from saving an organism that is coming to a natural end. There were lots of whales before we interfered so we should put that right. Pandas on the other hand have been desperately hanging on for thousands of years, so maybe we should let them go.Jun 23 2013: If we don't then there won't be anything to look at on whale watching trips.
I submit that humans are part of evolution as well, we do not have to exercise the prime directive as we are organic to this planet.

Jun 23 2013: "Humans are part of evolution and as such we are also part of a finely balanced system. Destroy enough parts of that system and the system fails and humans go extinct."
That is part of evolution as wellJun 23 2013: Sure it is when a parasite kills the host the parasite dies off. As with the Rats on Easter IslandJun 23 2013: Have a nice day
Jun 23 2013: I think that survival is a series of self destructive qualities, really. Throughout the years of life on earth, genetic codes (and full-blown organisms) have been created and destroyed to determine the strongest qualities an animal may use to survive and reproduce.
As a result, sometimes entire species went entirely extinct because their genome was unable to adapt sufficiently. The animals that are extinct today, at one point adapted new instinctual or physical qualities in an attempt to endure their environment eventually encountered an issue too catastrophic that would ultimately destroy that species. Humans, however, were too clever because when we stopped adapting genetically, we began adapting cognitively, and now we're back on the verge of a strong genetic and physical evolution with the discovery of new technology.
I mean, along with disease, habitat displacement, long term environmental trends, competition - genetic adaptation is the building block to combat those elements that might one day determine whether or not an animal will go extinct - DUH. Humans have obviously bypassed this form of natural selection and created their own version of artificial selection. In doing so, we artificially select which animals do and do not survive.
Does this artificial selection really benefit US, since we are artificially attempting to prolong the existence of certain animals and creatures? We can create a zoological environment, pass preservation laws, and try to treat other animals as "humanely" as possible. But, does that really solve our problem as humans?
What I personally see, is that by saving the whales we are just finding an excuse to harvest the resources of an endangered animals natural habitat. If you want to colonize or a plot of land, you have to destroy or displace the indigenous population of whatever creatures live there.
If 90% of all the species on earth are extinct today, Noah didn't do a very a good job, did he?Jun 23 2013: Maybe people's effort to save endangered animals by caging them into zoos to help their intercourse is a way that humankinds show their guilt for accelerating the process of their extinction.
For example, people's improper behaviors in openning up virgin soil destroyed many animal's habitats into small areas, which set barriers to their intercourses as animals are devided into separated small groups. As a result, their birth rate falls down and the newborn is weaker than before caused by intermarriage-----then, the animals become endangered ones.
Briefly speaking, it's humankind that moves up animals' extinction and people will naturally feel guilty.Thus,people will try to help these species's reproduction to make up for the bad babehavoirs.Jun 22 2013: And if it was just for their beauty would be reason enough for me ...
Earth herself, nature herself could not care less who, what or if anything at all dwells on her surface or hops into existence our out by her principles, as both do not care about what they make possible and create.
One may wonder about the fact, that we as humans are capable to have the sense of 'care' in all the surrounding ignorance, and whether it is a just a random 'vagarie of nature' or intentionally installed doesn't really matter here at all. The simple fact that we do, lead us to feel 'responsibility' as well, and this, as well in having become the dominating creature on this planet at the moment, is reason enough why we should ... and because we could...
Jun 23 2013: What I THINK you are arguing is more ethical than ecological. Just because we could, doesn't mean we should. Ethically, I believe that is a really grey statement. For example, we COULD sentence a murderer to death - and the fact that he or she has killed a human / multiple humans SHOULD be reason enough to do that. You can even prove that killing is morally wrong, scientifically. From an Evolutionist standpoint, killing your own species contradicts the mission of survival and preservation, and reproduction and growth. To make certain that any of this happens, any aspect of a species that kills themselves needs to be cut out. Typically, that would involve a genetic remodeling over a long period of time. In our case, humans have genetically evolved as much as we are going to. Now, the only threat to the human race is, in fact, the human race.
But let's switch gears a little bit... Thrown into this mix is our ability to empathize with other creatures. We see that they are also struggling to evolve and survive as times change, just like we are. Ridden with emotions that inspire us to change the world, we step in and lend them a helping hand. But, if we drive our efforts toward preserving the lives of other animals, would that take the focus away from preserving our own lives?
Our solution to preserving the lives of other animals is to lock them in an artificial environment to try and encourage sex, and then turning around and chopping large amounts of forest and natural habitat down for industrialization; and we pollute their water and food with human waste; and we consume their resources entirely once the indigenous animals have been entirely displaced. We have massive cities, like Boston or Sydney or Tokyo, to prove that this is what we do as humans. And when we begin taking over more land, we multiply more quickly until the land is consumed.

Jun 23 2013: Since the beginning of the industrial revolution we alienate more and more from our natural environment out of which we evolved and of which we are part of, inseparably for our survival. Unfortunately this alienation created the illusion for industrialized civilizations to have gained 'control' over the environment which, in combination with destructive economy models, lead us to false conclusions regarding our vital dependence on an ecosystem, whose complexity, connectedness and interactivity was arrogantly ignored. This highly complex and dynamic system is fault tolerant to certain degrees and delays the recognition of 'cause - effect' loops and pattern, yet even though if it doesn't, all chosen economy models haven't been designed for sustainability and therefore fail to react sensible and appropriate to their destructive impact on the system itself.
- +3
The impact of our exploitative behavior penetrates deeper and deeper into the dynamic fabric of nature, which by herself will doubtlessly adapt to it,yet if the result of that will be able to sustain the human species in the way we are used to, is questionable and remains to be seen.
The fact that panda bears reproduced most likely effortless throughout their existence and only began to stutter at the peak of our world dominance makes me think, that we have part in the cause of this. As neither you, nor me, nor anyone is able to understand the complexity and interwoven dependencies of our ecosphere, preservation becomes key for our very existence.
In analogy of this 'spaceship earth' we life on, I think only a view of us flying in a 747 above the clouds would dare to randomly shut off instruments in the cockpit or to take them out and re-wire them, just to find out what their purpose is by judging the result of what may happen. Obviously you could shut down many functions, without causing the plane to immediately crash. But as we don't know what we were doing, we could also end the journey pretty quickly.Jun 23 2013: Interestingly, this is what we do right now with our planet.
So as we simply don't know what the panda bears and the whales are good for in this whole complexity, we better do what we can to keep them, especially then if we are the cause for them to go extinct.
And as simple this thought may seem, it is neither 'ethical' or 'ecological' but simple logic.
Since evolution took place on this planet there is a constant coming and going of species and we
found record that widespread deaths of many species took place within very short periods of time, and evolution simply moved on and created new ones. But we also know of very old species, who manged to survive many periods and changes and either adapted or found their niche.
Yet also immanent in all species is the urge of survival and in this we are no exception, by which it should be obvious for us to do anything in our power to become an 'old' species one fine day ...
But why are we not acting this way? What made us leave the 'fabric of nature' to turn against it? Why did we begin to destroy the earth which nurtured us? Why did we choose for economic systems which are destructive instead of being sustainable? And even worse, why do we stick to them since the time we realized their destructive nature?
You said: 'Now, the only threat to the human race is, in fact, the human race.'
To me this is only half the truth, and also reflects the arrogance we usurped.
A single meteor impact could wipe all of us out in a simple stroke and this without us even knowing that it was coming ... So no, we are not the only threat to ourself, there is the whole universe which could turn itself against us ...
The fact that many of us life in neat little houses and that we get our food around the corner in the supermarket doesn't mean that all of this is for granted and goes on for ever ... in fact, it won't if we do not start to rethink our lifestyle.Jun 23 2013: All of our so called - and felt - 'normal lifes' are based on fossile fuels of which we know they are going to run out. We have no substitution at hand, no alternatives which would not be environmentally destructive, yet we do not react at all ...
So by helping the pandas, the whales, we do nothing else but to help our-selfs to preserve as much as we can of nature as we know it, for the day to come in which we may have no other choice but to step back of being the world dominant species and to blend in again into a more 'down to earth' way of being ...Jun 23 2013: So, that is why I really wonder why we should save the whales. Our actions proceeding every animal taken from its natural habitat, and placed into an artificial ecosystem, typically result in the natural environment being wiped clean of its resources.
Jun 23 2013: Carlin called it "arrogant meddling"
- +1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W33HRc1A6cJun 23 2013: So why don't we question ourselves then in the first place if it is necessary to wiped clean entire habitats? To me, this sort of unreflected activism is based on the dominating economical doctrine of 'continues growth', which, by itself, simply can't work on a planet with finite resources.
So if we would operate in 'closed loops' instead of 'open spirals', as we currently do, there was no or not as much need for further expansion and the destruction of countless habitats.

As the lunch hour in New Harmony, Ind., gets closer, so does the traffic on its Main Street Wednesday morning. With the closing of the bridge which connects New Harmony with White County, Ill., businesses are being affected as customers and workers now have to travel a roundabout route to get to the historic town.
DENNY SIMMONS / Courier & Press The New Harmony Bridge which links New Harmony, Ind., with White County, Ill., shows rusted steel beams and deteriorating concrete on its underside Wednesday afternoon. The bridge was closed in May creating a need for travelers to find a new route to cross the Wabash River.

At around 2 a.m. on New Year's Day, the Senate passed a bill aimed at pulling the country back from the "fiscal cliff" of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts. The measure, hammered out by Vice President Joe Biden and Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, still needs approval by the House, which is expected to take up the legislation as soon as Tuesday. Here's what's in the Senate bill:
- Higher taxes on individuals earning $400,000 or more and families making $450,000 or more. Under that threshold, the Bush-era tax cuts would be permanent for all but the wealthiests households. The $450,000 threshold for families is a significant increase from Democrats' initial proposal to raise taxes on Americans making $250,000 or more but it is lower than Republicans' earlier proposal to raise taxes on households making $1 million or more.
- Tax rates on capital gains and dividends would rise for wealthier households. Taxes on capital gains and dividends would be held at their current levels of 15 percent for individuals making less than $400,000 and households with income of less than $450,000. They would rise to 20 taxpayers and households above those thresholds.
- Automatic spending cuts delayed for two months. The "sequester," which would impose steep, across-the-board cuts to domestic and defense programs, would be delayed for two months.
- One-year extension to unemployment insurance. Emergency unemployment benefits would be extended for a year. The extension was a priority for President Obama and congressional Democrats.
- One-year "doc fix." The measure would put off scheduled cuts in physician payments under Medicare.
- Averting the dairy cliff. Breakfast lovers, rejoice: A much-feared spike in milk prices, dubbed the "dairy cliff" because it was also set to kick in abruptly on Jan. 1, would be averted through a nine-month extension of certain portions of the farm bill. Other agricultural programs would also be extended through September.
- Personal exemptions phased out for individuals making over $250,000. Personal exemptions will be phased out and itemized deductions will be limited for taxpayers making over $250,000 and families earning more than $300,000.
- 40 percent estate tax. The estate tax would rise to 40 percent from its current 35 percent level, with the first $5 million in assets exempted. Democrats had earlier sought a higher increase to 45 percent and a lower exemption of $3.5 million.
- Permanent fix to the Alternative Minimum Tax. The alternative minimum tax was levied to ensure the wealthiest Americans paid a fair share of taxes. It was not indexed for inflation but is usually "patched" annually to prevent an increasingly large swath of middle-class Americans from being caught in its net. As part of the fiscal deal, the AMT would be permanently indexed for inflation.
- Tax breaks for working families. The deal includes extensions of the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which can be claimed for college-related expenses; the Child Tax Credit; and the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is a refundable federal income tax credit for low-to-moderate income working Americans.
- Business tax breaks. The Senate Finance Committee passed a package in August that tackled a variety of routinely expiring tax provisions known as extenders. These include popular tax breaks including those for research and development. That package might now pass as part of the broader cliff deal.
- Congressional pay freeze. President Obama recently authorized a congressional pay raise in a move that angered many congressional Republicans. Under the New Year's cliff measure, all members of Congress would see a pay freeze reinstated.
Although the bill would avert many of the year-end tax hikes and spending cuts that were set to kick in, it also failed to address some of the major issues that have divided Congress in recent months. Here's what it left out:
- An agreement to raise the debt ceiling. The nation reached its borrowing limit on Monday and the Treasury Department has said it will use "extraordinary measures" to avert default as long as it can—likely into February. Then, Congress will have to once again take up the contentious issue of raising the country's so-called debt ceiling. Last time, the negotiations resulted in a downgrade of the U.S. credit rating and a whipsaw month in markets. This time, the stakes will be just as high.
- Payroll-tax cut extension. A temporary, two percentage point cut to the payroll tax expired at midnight and was not renewed in the Senate's bill. If you make $50,000, that's an extra $1,000 in taxes you might be paying this year.
- A grand bargain. Lawmakers didn't address the country's long-term fiscal issues in this bill, namely a complicated tax code and rising entitlement spending.

Imagine you're deployed. Your base has been mortared and you are leading a post attack sweep team. The very lives of your team depend on the collective actions of each team member. Think about what would happen if one person acted alone.
Now, imagine you are recalled and standing in a deployment line. You're depending on everyone in that line to verify you have all the equipment, vaccines and critical information you need to execute your mission. What would happen if one of the deployment line team didn't pay close enough attention?
"We are airmen first, specialists second," according to Air Force Instruction 36-2618, the Enlisted Force Structure.
When considering these broad and recurring examples vital to our mission, one overarching theme is repeatedly projected, Teamwork. In fact, this critical, core tenet of our mission is so vital to our success that our most revered leaders ingrained it into our core value of service before self.
In addition to Air Force core values, teamwork is deeply etched into AFI 36-2618, the base and governing doctrine of our enlisted force structure. The AFI tells us that airmen are instructed to understand the wingman concept. Being a good wingman means we share a common bond and can be counted on to support each other, in all situations.
Considering how important teamwork is to all tiers in accomplishing mission goals, what would happen if teamwork were undermined by the selfish actions of individuals who valued their job and their mission impact above others?
Moreover what would happen if those selfish actions devalued and excluded local members of our Air Force team from the bigger Air Force team and its far-reaching mission? The answer to this is simple and we don't even need to pay a motivational speaker to lecture us, nor do we need a checklist to show us how it plays out.
The bottom line is, exclusion results in teams breaking down, degrading our greatest resource capabilities and eventually resulting in mission failure. With this in mind, we must remain alert and actively hold violators accountable for undermining the substantive teamwork.
I ask that you remain vigilant and do not accept exclusion in its varied forms even if it appears popular or covertly humorous.

Buccaneer Football falls to Appalachian State, 21-7
Saturday, October 04, 2003BOONE, N.C. � East Tennessee State took a 7-0 lead into halftime, but an Appalachian State burst early in the second half led to a 21-7 Mountaineer victory Saturday afternoon in front of a homecoming crowd in at Kidd-Brewer Stadium in Boone, N.C. East Tennessee State (2-4, 0-3 SoCon) struck first with an impressive 14-play, 82-yard scoring drive in the second quarter. ETSU rushed the ball 13 times for 73 yards on the drive, capped by sophomore fullback Andre Brooks' (Greenville, S.C.) two-yard plunge. Brooks crossed the goal line with 4:52 left in the first half and after junior kicker Jonathan Godfrey's (Johnson City, Tenn.) point after, ETSU carried a 7-0 lead into the locker room. Appalachian (2-3, 1-1 SoCon) made the most of its halftime adjustments with three straight touchdown drives to open the second half. East Tennessee State totaled 119 rushing yards on 26 carries in the first 30 minutes, but Appalachian's defense limited ETSU to 35 yards of total offense in the second half. After the defense forced ETSU to punt on its first possession of the third quarter, Richie Williams completed the first pass of the half to Alan Atwater for 13 yards. The sophomore signalcaller then rushed for two yards and Atwater followed with a 15-yard carry up the middle to the ETSU 40. Williams then went around the left side on an option and dashed 40 yards for his longest touchdown run of the season. Erik Rockhold's PAT kick knotted the score at 7-7. Buccaneer senior punter Aaron Bass (Clinton,Tenn.) was called onto the field to punt from his own 15 yard line on the ensuing possession. The Mountaineers' Jonathan Chasteen burst through the left side of the line and blocked the punt. The Mountaineers took over at the Bucs' two. Atwater gained one yard on a dive on first down and then Williams pushed his way into the end zone on a quarterback sneak. Rockhold's PAT gave Appalachian a 14-7 lead. After DaVon Fowlkes returned the Bass's next punt to the ETSU 36, Williams wasted little time finding Sterling Hayward wide open up the left side for a 40-yard touchdown connection. The second touchdown connection between Williams and Hayward in as many weeks set the final tally at 21-7. Up by a pair of scores, the Mountaineers entrusted Atwater to help them grind out the fourth quarter clock. After totaling 61 and 71 yards respectively as a starter over the previous two weeks, Atwater rushed 12 times for 101 yards in the final period to solidify the win. Atwater's 190 yards on the ground marked the third most by a freshman in program history. The No. 2 rusher in the Southern Conference, Buccaneer senior tailback Gaven Varner (Summerville, S.C.) rushed for 104 yards to lead East Tennessee State. Redshirt freshman quarterbacks Scott Butler (Kingsport, Tenn.) and Carl Meadows (Cumming, Ga.) each completed 2-of-5 passing for only 18 yards combined through the air. On defense, senior linebacker Matt Palmer (Summerton,S.C.) and redshirt freshman linebacker Mike Cullen (Roswell, Ga.) tied for the team lead with 12 tackles. Palmer, the Southern Conference leader in tackles for a loss, tallied four on the afternoon. Staring at the final meeting between the interstate rivals, Appalachian files a 32-13-1 all-time record into the books versus East Tennessee State. The Buccaneers will now have an open week before homecoming weekend, where they will host Liberty on Oct. 18 at 2 p.m. from Memorial Center in Johnson City, Tenn.

Because of the distance from the receiver and the fact that the device look pretty cheesy on my visor, I relocated to a better location. That took a little time for the installation. for a DIYer no problem. Pros: Works great with my cell. Perfect for a technical handicap like myself. Perfect for an older vehicle, pre ipod, mp3, hands free type devices that come with new vehicles. Cons: The only problem is with the adhesive on the velcro. Came off in a day. Had to use 2 sided tape to keep it mounted. DIYer, not a big enough problem to sent back. Was this review helpful? Yes No Dual BTM60 Bluetooth® Adapter Written By John T, Southern California on Saturday, October 08, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great. Allows easy use of my iPhone with my radio. As soon as a call comes in, it mutes what ever the radio is playing, even if it is the iPod funtion of my iPhone. Also great that if I have the iPod on my iPhone playing through the radio on the truck and I turn the truck off, it stops playing the iPod as well. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Dual Bluetooth adapter Written By Malcolm S., Mt. Airy, MD on Friday, July 22, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just added this adapter to my Dual receiver a few minutes ago in my '03 Tundra. Installation was a pain but not because of the product, mostly the truck... The reason i give 4 stars instead of 5 is because it took almost 20 minutes and 6 tries to get the adapter paired and working correctly to my HTC EVO. Afterward though, it works great and sounds clear. Only complaint is when doing a test call to my friend she said there was a buzz on her end, which I'm assuming is interference from the engine. Without the difficulty pairing this would get a 5+ stars. Was this review helpful? Yes No Works okay Written By Redhouse7, Minneapolis, MN on Wednesday, March 16, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wasn't overwhelmed with the bluetooth function on my Dual deck. It works well enough, but I'm told the sound to the person you're calling isn't great (like talking through a tube). It doesn't seem to pick up my phone like my previous bluetooth did unless I force it to. It doesn't have a flush bottom so mounting it on a flat surface doesn't look good. But it works Was this review helpful? Yes No Dual BTM60 Bluetooth® Adapter Written By Todd, Michigan on Saturday, March 12, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I added this unit recently to my Dual radio that I have had for several years. Sound quality through the radio is very good with both phone calls and streamed music. Microphone pickup seems clear, but since I have not been on the receiving side of my calls, I am saying that because no one has ever complained or asked me to repeat myself for clarity. Installation is easy but mounting is less than spectacular causing me to rate it 4 instead of 5 stars. The included clip is strong enough to hold it to a visor well, but it is basically useless for any other location. A small piece of velcro is also included, but it seems too small to hold anything, especially not this unit. FYI, the Crutchfield listing of "What's in the box" is for a set of speakers and not this unit at the time that I am writing this review. Was this review helpful? Yes No Works with iPhone, iPad & Android Written By JamieC, Melbourne, FL on Thursday, December 30, 2010 I was never sure this would work with the iPhone, especially for playing music. It works fine, tested with iPhone 3G under iOS 4.2. Worked fine for iPod and Phone apps on iPhone. An incoming call interrupted FM radio, as you would hope. It also worked for music with the iPad. Android 2.1 on HTC Eris played music from music player and Pandora. Audio was a bit faint on other end of phone. Good sound quality. Remembers associations with up to 8 devices. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Bluetooth For Your Car Written By Harold, La Feria, Tx on Monday, April 13, 2009 This adapter works great. This is the first time I use this kind of technology in my truck, and I have to admit it keeps me concetrated on the road and keeps my hands free to drive. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great little device Written By Brad, Detroit MI on Wednesday, March 25, 2009 I am happy with this device, I didn't like the visor install so I clipped it to the console next to the seat, and have had no complaints with hearing me. The output is crystal clear through my radio. Was this review helpful? Yes No Dual BTM60 Bluetooth® Adapter Written By Matt, Columbus, OH on Sunday, March 15, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My BTM60 works great. Like the one review said, it would be nice to have voice activated dialing, but, I still like it. I didn't like the install on my visor, so, I used the double faced tape and installed it on my dash near the radio. Overall, very happy with the product. Was this review helpful? Yes No Only half useful Written By dreamfly5, San Francisco, CA on Thursday, November 27, 2008 One of the main purposes of a car Bluetooth device is to make a call. To safely make a call in the car, voice dial is a must. While the BTM60 claims (in their press release) voice dial capable, it is only half true. To initiate voice dial, you have to press a button on your phone, instead of on the BTM60. Thus if your phone is in your pocket, which most likely is key locked, you have to first fish it out, unlock the keys, then initiate voice dial. Only then can you speak to the BTM60 to dial out. All these actions required in order to make a call is really dangerous while driving. Now all other Bluetooth headsets that I own (including a 4yr old foreign country bought one) don't require you to do anything on the phone. A press on a headset button is all it takes. 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great addition to CD Player and Blackberry Written By Nicholas, Charlotte, NC on Saturday, November 15, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I decided to step into the 20th century with the purchase of this Bluetooth adapter to compliment my Dual XHD6425. It exceeded my expectations! The installation was extremely easy and the call quality is great on both ends. The only minor issue is when I make a call, which is rare from the car, I have to hold in the mute button for 3 seconds to hang-up. When others call me and they hang-up the player automatically returns me to the playing mode it was in when the call was made whether that's in the middle of a track or the radio. I would definitely buy this product again! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I highly recommend it. Was this review helpful? Yes No Dual BTM60 Bluetooth® Adapter Written By Dennis, New york - Long island on Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I like the BTM60 module a lot it was installed with the XHD-6425 which is another great product , Bluetooth has never been this much fun - take and make your phone calls even stream music from your wireless device. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Works well Written By Opus, Northern NJ on Wednesday, May 14, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The BT adapter works well with my XHD6425 head unit. Unfortunately, it is thick enough that it interferes with the visor, so it's not ideal. Also, it seems expensive for something that is just a microphone and a switch. Still, it is nice to have the integrated functionality - one button switches off the radio and sends the phone audio through the car's speakers. It also switches automatically when it senses an incoming call. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good Product Written By Todd, Hemet, Ca on Monday, April 21, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The BTM60 is a great bluetooth device, i have installed it with the Dual XDMA7715 receiver and the sound quality when streaming music is excellent (near cd quality) The installation is simple and the unit is easy to operate and pair with other devices. When using a cell phone the sound quality is good, i have tested the unit when the car is parked and not running and the sound quality is no different from talking directly on the cell phone, when driving with the air conditioner on, the sound is somewhat muffled, but still clear enough for others to hear you on the other end. The main purpose for me with this unit was to stream music so i am very pleased, i would recommend this product. Was this review helpful? Yes No Good depending on what you drive Written By Ryan, St. Louis, Mo. on Monday, March 24, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got my BTM60 to go in my Jeep and I think it was a bad idea. The receiver works great and it impresses everyone I show it too. But once I'm on the road, the road noise is so loud nobody can hear me. It's a pain to end a phone call because if you placed the call, you have to find and hold the mute button to hang up. Other than some problems controlling it and ending calls, it sounds good over my speakers and super easy to install. I did it in 5 minutes before supper. Maybe I'd like it better if I had a quieter vehicle, until now, I think it deserves 4 stars. 3 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No seamless operation Written By Seth, Torrington CT on Friday, March 07, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works great. Sounds very good to you and the person on the other end.

Purchased the BTM60 to go with my dual Player and could not be more satisfied. Very easy to set up with my cingular 8125. Has crystal clear reception and those on the other end say the same. I can also stream music stored on phone to the stereo. Sure beats the prices advertised at the local audio sound shop. Thanks Crutchfield for a great product. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Dual BTM60 Bluetooth® Adapter Written By Ken, West Palm Beach, Fl. on Friday, February 08, 2008 I am very happy with the system. It is a great sounding system for the money. The only con I have is the buttons are a little small, so I use the remote almost exclusively. It was very easy to install with the information and install kit Crutchfield provided. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give this system a 9. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Dual BTM60 Bluetooth® Adapter Written By Doug, Southeast PA on Saturday, January 26, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It does what it is supposed to do. The mic/receiver is too thick to clip onto my visor. When I use the sun visor, if I push it down towards the windshield, it presses the receive button and puts the radio in phone mode. Annoying. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Dual BTM60 Bluetooth® Adapter Written By Mike, Charlottesville, VA on Wednesday, January 02, 2008 Get your money's worth then some. Just as good as all those other spendy bluetooth kits out their. I recieved it for christmas and about 20 minutes after opening it i had it completely set up, very easy to install. Clear voices on both ends, although you do have to turn it up a bit to hear whoever's on the other end...not a problem. Would definately buy again. Rock on Crutchfield! 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Crystal Clear Communication Written By Dave, South Bend, IN on Saturday, December 08, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm very impressed with the clarity of the BTM60. It's very easy to install and setup. I have a Moto RAZR and my wife has a Nokia 6133 and I didn't have any problems pairing either of them. I have it setup to auto connect and it has worked every time with both phones. According to the people that I've talked to, my voice is crystal clear and sounds much better than the Moto H500 Bluetooth headset that I was using. I highly recommend the BTM60 to anyone that has a compatible Dual head unit. 17 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Bluetooth Wonder Written By Kenneth, Louisville, Ky on Sunday, September 09, 2007 Purchased The BTM60 for my car stereo and I love it. My stereo is set to auto connect and my phone stays in Bluetooth mode. I'm constantly in and out of my car 8 hrs a day and my phone is either in my pocket or in a cradle. Evertime I start my car it's always ready to go and sounds great through the stereo. This is the best Bluetooth option for me to have instead of buying something to bother my ear or pay hundreds for a car kit. 38 out of 41 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This story was updated 4:27 p.m., Feb. 26, 2013.
Former Olympic swim coach Rick Curl pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Circuit Court Thursday, Feb. 21, on charges he sexually abused one of his former swimmers.
His sentencing is scheduled for May 23.
Curl, who was not in custody, arrived early for the hearing dressed in a suit and red tie. His wife sat with him in the front row.
Kelley Currin, his victim, came to Maryland from Texas for the hearing. Currin, 43, sat across the aisle, silent, hands clasped, visibly moved at several points during the hearing.
Police began investigating Curl last August after Currin told The Washington Post that she and Curl, her former swim coach, had sexual relations from 1983 to 1986. Curl was her coach from the time she was 9 until she was 18, when she began attending at the University of Texas.
Curl began abusing her when she was just 13, and he was 20 years her senior.
Curl faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison because the abuse occurred when child sexual abuse carried a lesser penalty. The penalty for the same charge today would carry as much as 25 years in prison.
In a press conference after the hearing, Montgomery County Assistant State's Attorney Debbie Feinstein called Currin a "true hero."
Currin stood with prosecutors after the hearing, but did not speak. She will deliver a statement at the sentencing in May, State's Attorney spokesman Ramon Korionoff said.
"She's dealing with a lot of emotions. But ... she feels vindicated," her lawyer, Robert Allard, told The Gazette.
During the hearing, Judge Marielsa Bernard reminded Curl that his plea would require him to register as a sex offender.
"It would follow you wherever you go," she warned him, as she asked him a series of questions related to his plea.
Currin had alleged that Curl abused her at several locations in Montgomery County, including his former homes in Rockville and Darnestown, and the swimming facilities at the Georgetown Preparatory School in North Bethesda, The Gazette previously reported.
Curl, 63, now lives in Lovettsville, Va.
In the months after his arrest, Curl was banned by USA Swimming, the body that governs competitive swimming in this country. Curl voluntarily agreed to give up his USA Swimming membership.
Curl coached Olympic medalist Tom Dolan and founded the successful Curl-Burke Swim Club, which operated sites in both Bethesda and Gaithersburg. That club is now operating under a new name, Nation's Capital Swim Club, and ownership, after the allegations against Curl surfaced.

Guest Blog - the road to publication, by Laura Jarratt.
Here's Laura's story in her own words...
I made the Editor's Desk three months after posting my second book, 'Freefalling', on Authonomy. I was contacted about 'Freefalling' as a result of it being on the site by a couple of agencies, but it wasn't felt to be commercial enough at that point to launch a new author with. I had just begun working on 'Skin Deep', and Simon Trewin and Ariella Feiner from United Agents were keen to see the opening chapters of the new book. After two months, with the book half-written, they offered to co-agent me (Simon generously looked after us both until we were ready to fly solo) and I signed with them. In the meantime, I had my review of 'Freefalling' with some very helpful pointers, which I used to improve my writing on my next book. I asked Authonomy to send my grateful thanks to the editor and then thought no more about it, except for taking the excellent tips on board.
The first draft of 'Skin Deep' took three months to write. Ariella then looked over it and suggested some extra scenes. To add those took a week, and we were ready to submit it to editors. Simon had decided not to submit to all publishers at once so the book was sent out to a few editors at a time. I think I had my first rejection a few days before Christmas! Shoshanna Einfeld, another Authonomite, was going through this at the same time so there were frequent groaning emails of 'got another one today, how about you?' flying back and forth. The submissions round is quite a stressful time as, even with an agent, a book isn't certain to sell. Sometimes even though the editor really likes it, a book gets rejected right at the last stage because the marketing department aren't convinced it will sell.
In March, I got a call from Ariella to say an editor at Egmont called Stella Paskins wanted to talk to me about the book. My agent set up a phone call and I spoke to Stella about some edits she wanted done before she sent the book out to others in the company. Halfway through the conversation, while asking me how I got my agent, she realised she'd done my Ed's Desk review when she worked at Harper Collins. We both liked the serendipity of this. I put my editing engine into fifth gear and had the work done in under a month. Stella was happy with the results and took the book to acquisitions.
At the point at which Ariella called to say Egmont had made an offer, I was on a school trip to Alton Towers and was just about to be dragged onto the Squirrel Nutkin ride by a colleague… Convincing her that answering the phone and then running off to squeal excitedly in a corner was not me chickening out of the terrifying Squirrel-Nutkin ordeal took some doing… especially as I hadn't told anyone about the book and didn't do so for another year.
Because another company also made an offer for the book, I went down to London to meet the teams at both publishers. What I love about Egmont is their energy and freshness, and working with Stella was a big plus as I like someone to push me to be as good as I can be. I think it's important to have a connection with your editor so you understand what they want from you and she was a big part of my decision to work with Egmont.
The book underwent another two edits, one major and one for the last minor tweaks. We looked at paring back excess description in the first instance and then tightening character voice for the male mc and improving pace in the later edit. I know a lot of writers worry an editor will ask them to make a change they aren't happy with but that certainly wasn't my experience.
Skin Deep was published under Egmont's new Electric Monkey imprint on the 5th of March, with thanks to several Authonomy members on the acknowledgements page. Find out more about Laura at www.laurajarratt.com

A disturbing new trend—"pet flipping"—has been getting a lot of attention this week.
Pet flipping involves a criminal picking up a pet, either by stealing the animal or claiming to be the pet parent of a missing pet, and then quickly selling the animal for a profit. Is your blood boiling yet? It gets worse!
According to Time, pet flipping is on the rise in cities including Kansas City, St. Louis and Indianapolis. The stolen dogs are often purebred and very valuable. In March, an Indianapolis man was arrested after a three-month investigation found he had been stealing dogs for years, mostly purebred German Shepherds, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls.
"Many of these pets are housed in puppy mill-like conditions until they can be flipped—no food or water, caged and sick," Dawn Contos, of Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, said in an interview following the arrest.
For tips on finding a lost pet, please visit our pet care section.
We'll be on Katie on Monday, July 22 to talk about pet flipping. Check your local listings and tune in!

text: Mark Fry, born in Essex in 1952, began art school in Florence at the turn of the '70s. There he met RCA Italiana record producer Vincenzo Micocci, who signed him to the label's IT subsidiary. His debut LP, Dreaming with Alice, was recorded in Rome during the summer of 1971. That fall, after touring with Lucio Dalla, Fry returned to England, where he continued working in music for a time without much success. In the years since, he's become known as a painter, and Dreaming with Alice has (justifiably) developed kind of a cult; original pressings have sold at auction for over $3000. Perhaps emboldened by Sunbeam's 2007 reissue of the album, Fry finally recorded its follow-up, Shoot the Moon, which saw release in 2008. In 2011, he collaborated with The A. Lords to record I Lived in Trees.

If he's no big loss, then why are we missing him so much?
Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
The Pacers are not only missing Granger, the Pacers are missing DC, Barbosa,DJ and Lou, yes Lou, they are also missing Roy Hibbert.
Granger has no trade value? If anything it should be inflated at this point. His contract is far enough along that if anyone were to trade for him, it wouldn't screw them long term, and as far as the rest of the NBA is concerned apparently Indiana BLOWS without him, yet they're good enough to take a 2-1 lead on Miami with him. So no his trade value is not zero. that is absurd.
Also, some of you simply do not understand that some teams are looking for different things. For instance, if you don't think Danny is worth one of Utah's expiring big man contracts, especially when they have a log jam at those positions, you are high. They'd take it in a heartbeat. Utah is not keeping all of their bigs. They have young bigs they want on the court and it doesn't make sense for them to resign everyone.
Find me on the internets @mattiecolin
Read it and weep:
When George Hill is above 15% usage we won 73.5% of games. Below 15% usage we won 61.9%
Then tell him to get healthy and get his butt out on the court and win ballgames.
I get so tired of hearing 'blah-blah is towards the end of his career and he should be traded to a contender so he can win'. Nobody DESERVES to win.
It has absolutely nothing to do with his abilities, and everything to do with his availability.
It is either that or trade Paul George. They are both SFs and I doubt the Pacers organisation will invest big money in both of them at the same time.
The longer they wait, the lesser the return will be, so if they can get a very good player for Granger, I don't see why not.
It doesn't matter if the consensus wants to trade him or not, because he has zero trade value. No one really knows the severity of this injury until he comes back this year, if it all.
How much precedent is there for teams trading for a player with a serious knee injury?
"I like our group of people," Ainge told USA Today. "I'm trying to teach them about basketball, and they're trying to teach me about analytics."
The Pacers only chance to trade him would be for a team that has a bad long term contract and is probably enticing for them to have Danny's two years left instead.
Edit: Here is the type of trade Pacers could probably do, maybe the other team is crazy enough to remove that bad contract:

Can we at least wait until Granger is back and playing before we declare his career as a star over?
Didn't Bogut have knee problems that forced him to sit all of last season? He was traded while injured.
Not really sure about many others, although it would be very interesting.
I suppose he'd have value to a team thinking they could get him cheap and have a nice veteran presence waiting in the wings for the playoffs/next season (Like Dallas, or OKC), but even that is a bit far-fetched.
But what a bad trade for Indiana. Gooden sucks, Monta has shown he's a "good player on a bad team" kinda guy.
And, ultimately, that definitely makes your point. The Pacers won't be able to get back what Danny is worth to them, at least not until the offseason.
And count me in the group that thinks he'll come back just as good, if not better, than ever. The rest will do wonders, as long as he stays in shape. And he looked so good shooting the ball in his only appearance, he seemed to be back to the "old Danny" that was automatic from midrange, unlike last seasons Danny that struggled for 1/2 the season and the playoffs.
If this team can stay above water until he returns, they could be a major problem in the playoffs.

As far as Bynum is concerned, that would be a disaster for Philly, letting him walk. Giving up Iggy and Brand for nothing? I know they wanted Brands contract gone, but still, that would sting.

Commissioner Jim Henry of the Tennessee Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (DIDD) announced today he will begin a statewide tour as part of an incentive to raise awareness of persons with disabilities and recognize outstanding contributors in the community.
Henry's goal is to encourage citizens in the community to support exemplary agencies providing services to persons with disabilities.
"We are striving to enhance community support, and it is important and necessary to recognize citizens who have gone above and beyond to ensure persons served have a better quality of life," Henry said.
Henry plans to meet with several citizens during the tour and award certificates of appreciation signed by Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam. Henry will also tour agencies and meet with staff to answer questions and discuss future directions for DIDD.
"By visiting these agencies, we are ultimately hoping to raise support for them whether through encouraging fundraising efforts, volunteering or donating to local organizations,"said Henry.
Henry is scheduled to begin the tour May 29th in Memphis, TN.

Ana takes on world No.28 Mona Barthel in the third round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells on Monday. It will be the second meeting between the pair, after Barthel defeated Ana 7-5, 7-6 on clay in Stuttgart last year.
Barthel advanced to round three with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Kiki Bertens, while Ana defeated 16-year-old wild card Taylor Townsend 6-1, 6-2.
"I really felt I was striking the ball when on my backhand," reflected Ana. "My serve was working really well [but] I was a bit tentative on my forehand. A lot of mis-hits."
22-year-old Barthel is in excellent form, having won the Open GDF Suez in Paris last month. She also comprehensively beat world No.6 Angelique Kerber in Doha.
Ana accepted that it is "not an easy match-up" against the German, despite her superior ranking. However, it's the kind of match she needs to win in order to continue her climb up the rankings, and re-enter the top 10: Ana knows that she must start beating players ranked above her in order to achieve this goal.
"I'm putting myself constantly in the position," Ana told reporters yesterday. "It feels like I'm there, yet I never manage to turn it. I can keep saying it, but until I do it, it's not going to make a difference. I really need to make that happen."

I am excited to introduce the Tennessee Governor's Management Fellowship, a two-year fellowship to give some of our nation's best and brightest the opportunity to serve this state and its citizens.
Tennessee is fortunate to have many public servants already working hard to make Tennessee a great place to live, work, and raise a family. This fellowship will attract recent graduates to work within our Customer Focused Government initiative and alongside the state's top executive leaders, gaining management experience and directly contributing to the continued improvement of state government.
I truly believe public service is an honorable calling and among the most worthwhile opportunities open to the citizens of this nation. It is an exciting time in Tennessee, and I hope you'll consider applying to serve this great state.

What does EarthWISE stand for?
The WISE in EarthWISE stands for Workplace Initiative for Sustainable Enterprise.
My business wants to be "green" but we don't know where to start. We don't even recycle.
That's okay! The purpose of the EarthWISE program is to move businesses towards more environmentally friendly business practices, no matter the starting point. A great place to start is to schedule an EarthWISE environmental assessment for your business. An EarthWISE program staff person will conduct the assessment and assist you, your business, and your co-workers in identifying and implementing changes that will save your business money and protect the environment.
To obtain EarthWISE certification businesses must meet the criteria outlined in the EarthWISE certification application. Some businesses meet criteria right away. Most businesses, however, find that they need to make changes in their business practices to qualify for certification. An EarthWISE program staff member is available to assist your business with identifying and implementing these changes or your business can choose to identify and implement changes on your own. Regardless, once your business feels confident that it has met the EarthWISE certification criteria you will need to fill out the EarthWISE certification application and fax, email, or mail it in. Once your application has been received, an EarthWISE program staff person will contact you to set up an on-site certification assessment. For more information or questions about becoming an EarthWISE certified business contact Marion County Public Works- Environmental Services at 503-365-3188.
Where do I send my EarthWISE certification application?
Completed applications can be submitted in three ways:
How long will my business be EarthWISE certified?
EarthWISE certification will be valid for two years from the certification date. Businesses may be EarthWISE Certified indefinitely but must take the steps to re-certify every two years. Businesses interested in re-certification must follow the certification process including resubmitting an application and hosting an on-site assessment and review of the business practices.

Max B Appeal Denied: N.J. Court Upholds 75-Year Prison Sentence for Murder, Robbery
Bad news Max B fans. A New Jersey appeals court has upheld the former Dipset rapper's murder conviction, and the 75-year sentence he received for his role in a 2006 robbery and murder.
In his appeal, Max B, born Charly Wingate, 34, argued that the jury had been improperly instructed
