JamStik+ Review (plus Video Link)
On Friday, my JamStik+ arrived from Zivix. The JamStik is a small guitar that connects to your iPad or Mac. The original JamStik was sponsored in part by a Indiegogo crowdsourcing campaign, and the JamStik+ was sponsored by a very profitable KickStarter campaign.
From a distance, the JamStik and JamStik+ look identical. The original JamStik connected to your device via wi-fi (the JamStik itself became a wi-fi hub). Since the time the original JamStik shipped (a year ago), Apple introduced a new Bluetooth MIDI standard for iOS and Mac OS. Zivix quickly moved to make their wi-fi products into Bluetooth MIDI products. The JamStik+ brings Bluetooth MIDI to the JamStik, as well as an additional pickup. These changes result in a device that is easier to connect (although the wi-fi version was not difficult) and more sensitive. The fretboard finger position sensors (IR sensors) remain unchanged.
If you follow this blog, you know that I am 100% in support of Bluetooth MIDI, and I expect most platforms to adopt this standard as Apple is now on the international Bluetooth advisory board (they also recently joined the USB board). Compared to the old days of MIDI (a more than 30 year old standard), Bluetooth MIDI is truly "turn on and play." The hardware and software take away all of the old challenges of MIDI.
In my playing of the JamStik and JamStik+, both devices feel the same. It is simply easier to connect to the JamStik+, and the JamStik+ is slightly more accurate as I play Zivix's JamTutor, which is a free app available to JamStik owners. For the record, the original JamStik uses an app called "JamStik Connect" to establish the MIDI connection, while the JamStik+ uses the "JamStik+" app to simply turn on the Bluetooth MIDI connection and to provide audio events (sounds/instruments). Once you have that MIDI connection (wi-fi on the original JamStik, or Bluetooth on the JamStik+), you can use the JamStik with any Zivix app, or with any of hundreds (if not thousands) of Core MIDI apps on the market.
It is worth mentioning that "real" guitar players still complain about the device and the fact it isn't a "real" guitar. A quick look at the device should have told them it isn't a "real" guitar, as it only has five frets. In truth, this device really isn't for them–except for the fact that it can be used as an input device into apps like Notion. This means that a guitar player who does not play piano could now use the guitar an a entry method. I would think that would be appealing to "real" guitar players. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Zivix make a full size JamGuitar some day, since they have the basic technology figured out already.
One of the things I have seen with guitar players in guitar classes is that many players come in unable to read music–but they can read tablature. They like to look up tablature on the web. If your JamStik is connected to your iPad via wi-fi, you can't look up tablature. If you have a JamStik+, it connects via Bluetooth, meaning students can still use wi-fi on their device (JamStik+ will operate in the background).
Both JamStiks bring a number of features to education: real strings, no tuning required, and a small footprint. You can use Zivix's JamTutor apps (one is available, another is coming) for individualized instruction, or you can use an existing guitar method, as all of those methods only use the first five frets (if that) of the guitar. Zivix recently reached a distribution agreement with Hal Leonard, and I am hoping that some of Hal Leonard's guitar methods find themselves embedded in future Zivix apps. Wouldn't it be great to have an app that taught student guitar via gameification, but taught notation/literacy in addition to tablature?
If you adopt JamStiks, you do have to figure out a plan for charging instruments, and I keep bothering the folks at Zivix to provide a lab set of JamStiks for schools that would include a storage cart, extra batteries, and strings. I had a set of nine (original) JamStiks to use with some students last year, and under daily use, the devices hold up well. We have not suffered a broken string, and battery life is still good. If you do use JamStiks, I encourage writing down each device's Bluetooth or wi-fi identifier, and then printing that identifier on a label (P-Touch?) so that students know what device they are connecting to. Tony Strand used (original) JamStiks with his guitar program and had good results.
Original JamStiks can be bought at the Zivix website (www.jamstik.com) for $199 (probably while supplies last) and the new JamStik+ can be purchased for $299. This is within striking distance of a quality school guitar (plus case). If you are interested in a classroom set, I would contact Zivix directly and inquire about education pricing.
As you can tell, I love this device and its potential for music education. I love the updates to the JamStik that are found in the JamStik+. If you are a music educator and you have any dealing with guitar–I have a suspicion that you will like this device, too!
flowkey…a piano app
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by the development team of flowkey, which is a new app on the App Store.
The goal of flowkey is to be a "grown up" solution to learning piano. The app tracks your progress, but not in a traditional "gameification" way.The app has several modes for learning music, which include "flow" (it listens for correct notes as you play the piano–both hands or a single hand), slow, and practice modes (full speed, no active listening/pausing on the part of the iPad). In the flow mode, the goal is to get each note right before you move to the next note. You set the iPad on your piano (in my case, a digital piano), and you play. In every mode, there is a video of the piano that shows all 88 keys and which keys should be pressed. There is no on-screen piano keyboard to play on the iPad (like some other piano apps), although the company is examining the use of Core MIDI in the future (think in terms of attaching a keyboard to the iPad rather than setting the iPad on a piano).
I am not a fantastic piano player, and as such, I am probably part of the target audience for this app. Most of the scores were playable at my novice level of playing. I experienced some issues when the program wouldn't hear a note, and I would have to play it repeatedly to get the program to move on (remember the days of SmartMusic when it wouldn't hear a specific note to move on?).
The app is a free download and comes with some free content, but full access is subscription-based. From the App Store description:
flowkey is free to download and use. There are several songs included in the free version. Get access to all songs and new songs every month with flowkey Premium, which is available through an auto-renewing subscription. A one month subscription is $19.99, a three months subscription is $38,99 and a yearly subscription is $119,99. If you choose to subscribe, you will be charged a price according to your country which is shown in the app. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before end of the current subscription period. Your iTunes account will be charged for the next subscription period within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. The current period of in-app subscriptions cannot be canceled. You can turn off auto-renew at any time from your iTunes account settings.
I think flowkey is, at the least, worth a download and checking out, particularly if you find apps like PianoMaestro or Piano Dust Buster not challenging enough or are looking for a touch more "grown up" solution. I can't speak to the subscription model, as I do not take piano lessons nor do I buy piano music. As such, perhaps $120 a year is a fantastic bargain. My fear is that many users that are accustomed to $5 iPad apps will be scared away at that price.
In my interactions with the company, I suggested the possibility of uploading a MusicXML file and having a digital pianist (like a player piano) show hand positions (or just correct keys) with an uploaded song, which would make the app even more useful (scan your music, and then practice with flowkey as a rehearsal tool).
Over the years, I have had a lot of requests from piano teachers for apps, and the list has always been small (and sometimes those apps have gone away, like Pluto Learns Piano). That is why it is wonderful to be able to bring flowkey to your attention. Again, it is a free download and worth trying–perhaps you will find that it is worth a longer subscription.
Ningenius – School Edition Price Reduction
Earlier this year, both Paul Shimmons (Post #1 and a follow-up Post #2) and I (Post) talked about Ningenius, a relatively new app that allows students to practice fingerings and note names using gamefication. If you are a band director, particularly of younger players, your students will love the app, and it will be a great way to reinforce both fingering and note names.
The only confusing thing about Ningenius is that it comes in 3 different versions…a student version (one instrument with one user), a studio version (one instrument with unlimited users), and a school version (all instruments, unlimited users). Many apps would offer only the student version and allow for studio and school functionality with in-app purchases.
The school version was originally $24.99. The developers sent an e-mail earlier this summer announcing a price drop of the school edition to $17.99. While this may seem expensive in a world filled with sub $5 apps, Ningenius gives band directors a wonderful tool to use with their students in lesson settings (or like instrument sectionals). I delayed announcing this as the next school year was a long way away–but many schools in other parts of the country start school next week, so I wanted to get this news out to you.
Just as a note: the student version is offered through the Education Volume Purchase Program for $1.49 per copy (with an order of more than 20), at which cost the student version is even more accessible to students. If you are at a 1:1 school that has a MDM (Mobile Device Manager/Mass Device Manager) that can distribute (and collect) apps, purchased apps can be used year after year, and not "burned." As a reminder…volume purchases have to be arranged through your school district and do not require the use of a MDM (an MDM is required to be able to "recall" apps, however).
New version of Notion for iOS
We have been traveling and my access to the Internet has been limited–but I haven't seen this news posted anywhere, so I wanted to mention that you can–right now— download/buy a version of Notion for iOS which is a universal binary–meaning that it can be used on iPhone and iPad.
Notion is a big app (in terms of download size 140 MB before sounds)–but it comes with a great selection of sounds, plus a chance to buy more sounds for pennies on the dollar (versus any other computer notation app or even Notion's computer app).
Notion is one of my "must buy"' apps for iPad–and it now works the iPhone. There are also a number of interface changes with the app, including a new look and use of iCloud.
I have been a beta tester for Notion, and as such, I could not say anything about the app until it was released. PreSonus remains committed to the Notion products, and the app will continue to be developed. Some early adopters of this version are experiencing some crashing (seen in the App Store reviews)–but I am sure that PreSonus will address those crashes with an update in the very near future.
On a related note, Symphony Pro, the other true music notation app for iOS is also providing more information about its new version, which is coming soon (target date of September). One of Symphony Pro's new features will be the ability to use a Bluetooth QWERTY keyboard for shortcuts (to my knowledge, nobody has done that with an iOS music app before, and it makes sense. I wouldn't mind seeing some of Notion's computer program shortcuts included in a similar way).
MakeMusic Acquires Weezic
In May of 2011, I had a rather direct conversation with a VP of MakeMusic about the iPad. At the time, the iPad was relatively new (the iPad 2 had just been released), and I was arguing for SmartMusic on the iPad. At several music conferences that year, MakeMusic representatives had discussed (with me) whether it made sense to have a web-based SmartMusic platform, or to go device specific. In the end, MakeMusic chose the iPad, and it didn't choose wrong. The iPad is a wonderful platform for SmartMusic, and thousands of students are using SmartMusic on their iPads.
But none of us expected the impact of the Chromebook in education. As you can see from various posts on my blog, if you have a choice, the Chromebook is the wrong device for music education. Chromebooks are the result when a district chooses the device, or a music teacher can't afford iPads (With all sincerity, a MacBook or Windows computer is a better option for music than a Chromebook). This doesn't mean I am anti-Chromebook, but we have to be honest and admit that they are not the best device for music.
That hasn't stopped thousands of schools from adopting Chromebook 1:1.
If every student has a Chromebook, what do you do about SmartMusic? Nothing. You either have to have students with access to Mac/Windows/iPad, or they can't use it.
Meanwhile, a number of other players have entered the field of green note/red note programs. One of those programs, which won an award at NAMM this past January was Weezic. Weezic is a French company which has offered green note/red note feedback, provided a library that sold songs individually, gave users the ability to purchase a song to be put into Weezic's format, and recently was moving towards letting users upload their own MusicXML files, as well as audio and video files that–using Weezic's proprietary algorithms–would sync the visual music created by the MusicXML file to the uploaded audio and video. Furthermore, Weezic was promising to have a conservatory feature (school mode).
The crowning achievement (if this wasn't already enough)? The latest version of Weezic, although already an iOS app, was running on ALL platforms with HTML 5. Had Weezic come out this fall, MakeMusic would have had a lot of competition for SmartMusic (along with new multi-platform solution, PracticeFirst).
Although I have been aware of Weezic for a long time, it was not a solution for me as it didn't have the literature I needed, and I didn't want to pay someone else to convert literature for me. However, as Weezic announced new features early this winter (allowing you to bring your own materials into Weezic), I made sure to visit their booth in February at TMEA, and saw most of these features in action. I felt, at the time, that Weezic had the best chance to be a SmartMusic competitor, particularly if it was priced right. However, after building up a lot of steam in February, the company had gone quiet, and today's news explains why.
The news from SmartMusic today is that they have acquired Weezic, and it just makes sense. In doing so, they eliminate a competitor while incorporating their technology, meaning that we will see a platform-agnostic version of SmartMusic sooner than later. Earlier this year (before today's news), an reliable source told me that MakeMusic would be (at least) several years away from releasing a web-based version of SmartMusic. I wouldn't expect to see a web-based version of SmartMusic any time soon (think fall of 2016, perhaps), but MakeMusic now has the technology in hand to make this happen.
This is a great acquisition–the best I have seen from the company since it brought Michael Good on the staff; and in fact, it is the first "major" good public news in a long time. It shows that MakeMusic was able to assess the market (i.e. Chromebooks), realize they couldn't react to the market while continuing to develop and support their existing products, so they acquired Weezic for their staff and technology. Unless the web version is a "knockout," I would expect to see continued development of the Mac/Windows/iPad versions, although a web-only product could be an end goal for the company.
Do you remember how long it took for the iPad version to come out? Expect a similar length of time for a web-based SmartMusic, and perhaps a product that slowly adds functionality (just as the iPad version did).
MakeMusic is also opening an office in Europe, which is a good sign for the future of MakeMusic as it attempts to make a stronger effort in the European market (a place where Sibelius has reigned supreme).
The only negative part about this acquisition is that some Weezic users will lose access to the songs they have been using (and perhaps purchased). It would be nice if all of Weezic's library could be rolled into the new SmartMusic (whenever that comes) for those users in particular. I would also like to see Weezic's ability to connect audio and video to a MusicXML file brought to SmartMusic.
In closing, this is great news for MakeMusic, and it will be exciting to see the changes in SmartMusic as a result of this accession.

A123 AVI to WMV DVD MPEG MP4 MOV Converter
editor's review
buy now $24.99
A123 AVI to WMV DVD MPEG MP4 MOV Converter is an application with a title that perfectly describes its purpose - it is designed to help you encode video files from the AVI format to the MPG, WMV, VOB, MOV and MPG extensions.
The interface of the program is plain and simple to navigate through. Video clips can be imported into the list by using the file browser only, since the "drag and drop" method is not supported. Batch conversion is allowed.
In the queue you can check out the source path, size and time of each video clip. All you have to do is establish the destination folder and file type, in order to proceed with the encoding job.
Moreover, you can change audio and video settings when it comes to the size, quality, frame rate, aspect ratio, sample frequency rate, channel mode and volume.
On top of that, you can preview clips in a small, built-in media player, remove an item from the list or clear the entire queue, as well as enable A123 AVI to WMV DVD MPEG MP4 MOV Converter to automatically turn off the computer or to open the output directory after encoding.
The simple-to-use video processing tool takes up a low amount of system resources, has a good response time, quickly finishes a task and generally manages to keep a good image and sound quality in the output videos. No errors have occurred during our tests and A123 AVI to WMV DVD MPEG MP4 MOV Converter did not freeze or crash. However, there is no help file available and the interface is outdated. We recommend this software with some reservations.

Amber Rose Is Busting Out Big Time!
According to my sources, Amber Rose is starring in some new movie called Sister Code, although judging from these premiere pictures, I'm pretty sure the real stars are Amber's massive funbags. And as great as they're looking here, I bet they'll look even better on the big screen. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to wait for Netflix though, seeing as how I'm currently banned from my local theater. Apparently you're not allowed to sit with your nose three inches from the screen and take off your pants like at home. No wonder they say movie theaters are dying.

Sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks are found in Georgia. The state has four distinct geographic regions, and different types of each rock can be found throughout the land.Know More
The northwest corner of Georgia falls into the Valley and Ridge region. Sedimentary rocks, such as limestone, sandstone and shale, are found here. Barite, ochre and coal have also been mined from this region.
The Blue Ridge region contains the mountains of North Georgia. These rocks are metamorphic, coming from pre-historic sedimentary and igneous rocks. Metagranite, gneiss, mafic, ultramafic and metavolcanic rocks are common in this area.
The middle geographic section of Georgia, the Piedmont, contains metamorphic rocks as well. It also has igneous rocks in some areas. The metamorphic rocks are slightly different from the metamorphics found in the Blue Ridge region. Rocks in this portion of the state include schist, gniess, amphibolites, migmaties, and the igneous granites. Granite is mined from this area, and the granite "Stone Mountain," a tourist attraction, was formed by the same granite veins that traverse the region.
The Coastal Plain region contains mainly sedimentary rocks, with metamorphic and igneous rocks underneath. Limestone, sandstone and shale are found here, and the beaches contain white quartz. Kaolin is mined in this region, as are limestone formations.Learn more about Geology
Mica is a silicate mineral that can be found in nature as metamorphic or igneous rocks. Mica can also be found in sedimentary rocks depending on the types of minerals left behind by water and what minerals are in the area.Full Answer >
The most common type of igneous rock, basalt, also known as malfic rock, can be found on oceanic plates at divergent plate boundaries. Intermediate and felsic igneous rocks show up along continental margins, as well. Because igneous rocks form from the cooling of lava and magma, they can be found around areas where volcanic activity is or has been present.Full Answer >
Metamorphic rocks can commonly be found in mountain ranges, like the Himalayas, Alps and Rocky Mountains. This is because metamorphic rocks form at the core of mountains from the intense pressure and heat. As mountains erode away over time, these types of rocks can be found on the surface.Full Answer >
Metamorphic rocks are most often found in mountainous regions though they can be seen wherever there are signs of geological upheaval in an area. This type of rock is formed by the transformation of another rock type, a change that is usually triggered by tremendous heat, pressure or other violent phenomena. The forces that cause metamorphic rocks to form are so great that they change not only the appearance but also the chemical composition of an existing rock.Full Answer >

1786 COPPER Nova Constellatio Copper, Pointed Rays AG3 PCGS....Click the image to load the highest resolution version.
Extremely Scarce 1786 Nova Constellatio Copper1786 COPPER Nova Constellatio Copper, Pointed Rays AG3 PCGS. Crosby 1-A. The 1786 Nova Constellatio is one of the major rarities among early American coppers. These extremely scarce coppers were patterned after the earlier dated Morris coins by an uncertain maker. The Garrett specimen, conservatively rated as Fine 12, is probably the finest known of as few as six examples extant and realized $6500 nearly a quarter of a century ago. This example is lightly struck, as on nearly all remaining pieces, with scattered bits of porosity and a triangular indentation on the obverse.

Gainesville blends the stimulation of a university burg with the small-town flavor of Florida's heartland for a rare destination that drew some of Florida's earliest tourists. Along its back ways, roadside vendors sell boiled peanuts, country towns sell antiques, barbecue pork and pine forests scent the air, and crystal-clear springs make the landscape sparkle.
The University of Florida, the state's largest and oldest, is home to the Gators, Gatorade sports drink (invented here), an art museum and galleries, and the Florida Museum of Natural History, an ever-growing collection of fossils and habitat replicas, including a walk-through underwater scene.
Around the university, restaurants and clubs cater to student budgets and appetite for action. A sense of youthful, artistic energy pervades the town, even in the old historic sections. Downtown comprises 63 square blocks and 290 buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including Hippodrome State Theatre. Housed in a classic-style old Federal building, it hosts drama of a contemporary nature. Restaurants, sidewalk cafes, clubs and shops surround it for pre- and post-theater entertainment. Other historic districts around town are residential, boasting gracious old homes and gentle hills.
Gainesville sits in the midst of striking natural features and rich wildlife. You can get a taste of Gainesville's natural beauty at Kanapaha Botanical Gardens.
Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail, a 16-mile converted railroad track, takes you into the countryside and through Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park, an amazing 21,000-acre expanse where sandhill cranes, wild Spanish horses, and reintroduced American bison run free around a marsh basin. An interpretative center traces the area's historical importance to early Seminole cultures.
Limestone springs riddle this part of the state and San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park is a good place to witness this feature, in addition to wild turkeys and white-tailed deer. Bobcats also inhabit the forests but are less likely to show themselves in the wilds. Devil's Millhopper Geological State Park offers a different view of one specific, dramatic natural curiosity: a sinkhole. This one measures 500 feet wide and 120 feet deep with 232 winding steps to take you to the bottom and its cool clime and riotous vegetation. The sinkhole formed many millennia ago when the roof of a limestone cavern gave way, leaving a massive dent in the earth's surface.
Get interactive with the springs at Ichetucknee Springs State Park, where you can inner tube or canoe the climate-controlled (by nature, of course), constant 72-degee waters. Divers, swimmers, picnickers, tubers and many forms of recreationists take to the waters and underwater caves of Ginnie Springs on the Santa Fe River.
Nearby, the old tobacco town of High Springs has become one of the region's most charming small towns to visit for a day of antique shopping and hometown dining. Victorian-style bed and breakfasts make you want to stay the night, romanced by the sheer quiet and old-fashioned hospitality.
Scattered to Gainesville's south, towns grew up in the wake of the steamboat and railroad era and today have settled into rural retreats for the soul. The hamlet of Cross Creek was immortalized in the writings of a city woman who came for just that reason. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park venerates the author of The Yearling, Cross Creek and other works inspired by her life here. Visit her "Cracker shack" home, farm and citrus grove, where rangers dress the part and spin her yarns. Towns such as Evinston and McIntosh hold historic bed and breakfasts, general stores, honeysuckle bushes, sandhill cranes and memories of the citrus boom years, before winter freezes sent the industry to the south.
The town of Micanopy itself is a living, breathing antique store. Ice cream shops, a historic museum and antique stores line its one main street, the setting for Michael J. Fox's Doc Hollywood.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood's summer at the box office isn't just missing nearly 20 percent of last summer's revenue. It's lacking swagger.
Summer is the season for mega-budget, chest-thumping, globe-trotting monstrosities — films so big they lure droves of Americans with heavily promoted promises of shock and awe. But this season's blockbuster output has been curiously low on the summer's stock in trade: bigness.

High school football: Top Utah prep athletes sign to play college football (updated +video)
Dallin Hatch
SALT LAKE CITY — It's national signing day and never has signing a contract held so much allure.
Across the country top high school student-athletes are making their college choices official by signing their names on national letters of intent. It is a moment years in the making, and for most, it's the realization of a lifelong dream — to play college sports.
This day is also highly anticipated by college football fans as they watch the names of hotly recruited athletes appear on official college websites starting at 6 a.m.
Many local high schools choose to mark the moment with small celebrations as some of their best athletes announce where they'll extend their football careers and earn educations with their skills.
"This is really what we want for you," said East head coach Brandon Matich as eight of his players signed scholarship paperwork at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday. "We want to win state titles and all of that, but what we really want is to see you go on to college. This is what's important."
East sent two receivers to Utah State — Zach Swenson and John Fakahafua.
"I'm just a country boy at heart," said Swenson, who was decked out in Aggie blue. Both he and Fakahafua said the change of head coach from Gary Andersen to Matt Wells didn't bother them at all.
"I'm excited about it," Swenson said.
Fakahafua won't appear on the college website because he has to make up a math class that didn't meet the NCAA's clearinghouse requirement. It's a class from his freshman year, which he'll take online in the next few months before enrolling at Utah State.
Fakahafua said it was visiting USU that persuaded him to become an Aggie.
"It was a really great visit," he said. "It's a great program, and it's only going to go up." He said one of the highlights was chatting with USU quarterback Chuckie Keaton.
"He gave me some pointers," Fakahafua said with a grin.
BYU landed two East High Leopards: linebacker Patrick Palau, who will serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before enrolling at BYU, and Merrill "Meti" Taliauli, who graduated early so he can enroll at the Y. and participate in spring ball.
"I was planning to go on a mission first, but coach (Bronco) Mendenhall called and asked me to play a year," said Taliauli. "He said it would help them and benefit me, as well. So I'll head out on my mission next January." The nose guard said he's more worried about taking college classes than battling BYU's defensive line.
"I'm nervous," he said laughing. "I heard it's hard."
It's his lifelong dream to be a Cougar, and now it's a reality.
"I thought I'd have a couple of years to kick back and relax," he said. "But it's coming up fast now."
Linebacker Palau said he was "very excited" to finally make his commitment to BYU official.
"I'm still adapting to the reality," he said. "It's kind of unreal. ... I'm still getting used to the mojo of it being a reality."
Meanwhile, left tackle B.J. Tapa signed with William Penn.
"I'm really nervous," he said as his parents looked on Wednesday.

Garnett denies calling Villanueva cancer patient
Kevin Garnett on Wednesday denied calling Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva "a cancer patient" in a trash-talking rant during the teams' game the night before.
"I am aware there was a major miscommunication regarding something I said on the court last night," Garnett said in a statement from his representatives released by the Celtics. "My comment to Charlie Villanueva was in fact, 'You are cancerous to your team and our league.' I would never be insensitive to the brave struggle that cancer patients endure. I have lost loved ones to this deadly disease and have a family member currently undergoing treatment. I would never say anything that distasteful. The game of life is far bigger than the game of basketball."
After the Celtics beat the Pistons 109-86 Tuesday night, dropping Detroit to 0-4 and sending the team into turmoil, Villanueva wrote on his Twitter account that Garnett had called him a "cancer patient" during a trash-talking rant. Villanueva has no body hair due to a rare autoimmune disorder known as alopecea areata.
"KG talks alot of crap, he's prob never been in a fight, I would love to get in a ring with him, I will expose him," Charlie V tweeted. "KG called me a cancer patient, I'm pissed because, u know how many people died from cancer, and he's tossing it like it's a joke. I wouldn't even trip about that, but a cancer patient, I know way 2 many people who passed away from it, and I have a special place 4 those."
Moments after Garnett's statement was released Wednesday, Villanueva wrote on Twitter, " New day, moving forward, Pistons lets get a win tonight." But before the Pistons played the Hawks in Atlanta on Wednesday night, Villanueva was asked about Garnett's denial.
"I know exactly what I heard," Villanueva said, according to the Detroit Free-Press .

Filling the Boozer void (UPDATE)
With Carlos Boozer off the free-agent market, other free agent forwards are getting ready to cash in.
While Charlie Villanueva was being courted by the Pistons, CBSSports.com has learned that restricted free agents David Lee and Paul Millsap were preparing to field offers as early as Wednesday night. Millsap, the Jazz forward who could benefit the most from Boozer deciding not to opt out of his contract, has heard from three of the four teams with significant cap space -- Oklahoma City, Memphis, and Detroit -- plus a fourth team inquiring about a sign-and-trade. Lee has heard from numerous teams, including Oklahoma City and Memphis, and was expecting inquiries to escalate into offers in the next 24 hours. Despite their focus on Wednesday's meeting at Madison Square Garden with point guard Jason Kidd, the Knicks were among the first teams to reach out to Lee's camp and expressed an interest in keeping him.
While Villanueva was seen as a strong possibility for Cleveland, which may need to replace free agent Anderson Varejao, people in contact with the Cavs' front office say Cleveland is in wait-and-see mode and appears to be strategizing for the second wave of free-agent activity.
UPDATE: OK, the wait's over. Brian Windhorst of the Plain Dealer reports that the Cavs -- and LeBron James himself -- are actively recruiting Ron Artest. There will be more developing on this front throughout the evening.
Rasheed Wallace got a visit from Celtics president Danny Ainge at his home shortly after midnight Wednesday and was getting interest from other contenders.
Like Artest (whose situation isn't directly affected by Boozer's), Lamar Odom (whose situation is) also was preparing to field offers Wednesday. The Suns and Spurs reportedly were among the teams courting Odom, while the Lakers were actively working to keep both of their unrestricted free agents, Odom and small forward Trevor Ariza.

Pistons target Gordon, Villanueva

Villanueva: Cavs' missing piece? (UPDATE)
With the stunning news that the Milwaukee Bucks decided Monday not to make a qualifying offer to Charlie Villanueva came confirmation of what we already knew: This is going to be a strange free-agent signing period in the NBA, one in which conventional wisdom need not apply.
By dumping Richard Jefferson on the Spurs, the Bucks seemed to be clearing cap space to keep restricted free agents Ramon Sessions and Villanueva. But Sessions got a qualifying offer and Villanueva didn't, making him an unrestricted free agent at midnight Wednesday.
In a league that is increasingly becoming about the haves and have-nots, one team's problem is another team's savior. Fresh off their pre-draft acquisition of Shaquille O'Neal, the Cavs are looking for a versatile big man to complement the Big Cuyahoga while at the same time not clogging the floor for LeBron James. Enter Villanueva, who would appear to be an ideal piece for GM Danny Ferry's plan of making a serious championship run this season.
When the Cavs acquired Shaq, Villanueva wrote the following on his Twitter account: "Very interesting, Shaq to Cleveland, nice, all Cleveland [needs] is a PF now."
Also in that mix is Pistons unrestricted Rasheed Wallace, who could be an attractive option for Cleveland and Orlando, among others.
The problem is, the best the Cavs could offer Villanueva is the mid-level exception of about $5.5 million. Short of that, a sign-and-trade would work, but the Cavs divested themselves of their two most tradable assets -- Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic -- in the Shaq trade. The Villanueva decision also has a direct impact on the Pistons, who are among the teams with the most money to spend on free agents. Joe Dumars is believed to be targeting Carlos Boozer and/or Hedo Turkoglu. But the availability of Villanueva makes his decision a lot more interesting.
UPDATE: The Bucks' thinking behind not extending a qualifying offer to Villanueva was discussed internally at least two dozen times, a person with knowledge of the situation said. The person, who is familiar with the team's strategy, said matching Villanueva's offers as a restricted free agent -- or possibly keeping him on the one-year tender for about $4.7 million -- would've rolled back the flexibility general manager John Hammond had just achieved by trading Jefferson, who was due $29.2 million over the next two seasons.
Whereas most observers -- including rival team executives -- believed the Jefferson trade opened the door for Milwaukee to re-sign both Villanueva and Sessions, there's a chance the team won't keep either one. The organization is determined to get out of the rut caused by overpaying the likes of Bobby Simmons, Charlie Bell, and Dan Gadzuric in similar situations in the past. If the offers received by Sessions on the restricted market are fair, Milwaukee will match. If not, the team is planning to hold the line on not overpaying.
Another factor with Villanueva is that, given the economy and dearth of teams with cap space to sign free agents, the organization believes it is feasible that Villanueva won't be blown away by free-agent offers and thus would have been inclined to accept the one-year offer for $4.7 million. The Bucks didn't want to be in a position of having to rescind the non-binding qualifying offer, which would've hampered Villanueva's efforts to land a free-agent deal. Having chosen to get their financial house in order and preserve the possibility of being as much as $7 million under the cap in 2010, the Bucks' hierarchy felt it was better to be up front with Villanueva and allow him unfettered access to the free-agent market. Although a sign-and-trade technically remains an option, the Bucks aren't interested in jeopardizing their roster and cap flexibility by taking on the kind of contracts that would come back in such a deal.
Clearing up one piece of draft business: While one of the many executives who spoke with the Nets on draft night came away convinced that the team had selected Terrence Williams for someone else with the No. 11 pick, a person with knowledge of the situation said Monday that T-Will is most likely to stay in New Jersey. On the heels of trading Vince Carter in the hours before the draft, the Nets had conversations with numerous teams involving, among other things, the No. 11 pick. Nothing came to fruition, and while the Nets are still listening, it appears that Williams is staying put for now.

I used to be very old fashioned. There was a time when I would've had the same reaction Scott Skiles did when he learned that Charlie Villanueva was tweeting at halftime of a game.
There was a time -- oh, about 17 days ago -- when my reaction would've been, "What's tweeting?" Now, I say to myself as I read Skiles' comments condemning this transgression, "What's the big deal?"
Skiles said Villanueva sneaking a tweet at halftime would lead "reasonable people" to conclude that he wasn't paying attention or focusing on the game.
Really? Since when do players pay attention at halftime? Aren't they all busy texting and emailing their friends? In any event, with his first full season three-fourths over, I would've guessed that Skiles' players tuned him out months ago. That's what happened to him in Chicago.
Anyway, technology is charging past me so fast that I sometimes formulate opinions I can't believe. A purist would say that players shouldn't be messing around with Twitter at halftime. They should be paying attention to the coach. But that's boring. Plus, today's players are fully capable of paying attention to the coach and texting at the same time. Today's players are multi-taskers, baby!
It's a losing battle for any coach who wants to curtail his players' texting, emailing and the like. And an impossible one to win. If Villanueva can't post on Twitter at halftime, what about all his teammates who were texting their friends, wives, and um, girlfriends?
Now you have to draw the line somewhere, and here's where I draw it: During the All-Star Game, Chris Bosh was conspicuously and constantly texting and emailing throughout the game on the East's bench. It didn't matter that he was injured and wearing a suit. That's just wrong. When you are in public view on the court, your cell phone stays in your pocket. That's just the way it is.
But what do we make of this? During halftime of the Bucks' victory over Boston Sunday, Villanueva grabbed his PDA and transmitted the following to his Twitter feed:
In da locker room, snuck to post my twitt. We're playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up.
Now, if there are Pulitzers for Tweeting, I think it's safe to say the other finalists are safe. But at least he did step up and deliver a team-high 19 points as the Bucks beat the listless Celtcs 86-77.
"I was very into the game -- as you can tell, the way I played," Villanueva said.
Twitter -- and much worse things that haven't been invented yet -- may very well succeed in bringing Western civilization to its knees. Until then, I don't see much wrong with tweeting a couple of thoughts at halftime. Just make it better next time.
In da locker room, snuck to post my twitt. Close game at da half. I'm about to light up Pierce for 40. No way that stiff can guard me.
Then we'd have something to tweet about.

Defense Acquisitions:
Improvements Needed in Space Systems Acquisition Management Policy
GAO-03-1073: Published: Sep 15, 2003. Publicly Released: Sep 15, 2003.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-4841

(202) 512-4800
The Department of Defense is spending nearly $18 billion annually to develop, acquire, and operate satellites and other space-related systems. The majority of satellite programs that GAO has reviewed over the past 2 decades experienced increased costs and delayed schedules. DOD has recently implemented a new acquisition management policy, which sets the stage for decision making on individual space programs. GAO was asked to assess the new policy.
DOD's new space acquisition policy may help provide more consistent and robust information on technologies, requirements, and costs. For example, the policy employs a new independent cost estimating process, independent program reviews performed by space experts not connected with the program, and more rigorous analyses of alternatives, requirements, and system interdependencies. This information may help decision-makers assess whether gaps exist between expectations and what the program can deliver. However, the benefits that can be derived from these tools will be limited since the new policy does not alter DOD's practice of committing major investments before knowing what resources will be required to deliver promised capability. Instead, the policy encourages development of leading edge technology within product development, that is, at the same time the program manager is designing the system and undertaking other product development activities. As our work has repeatedly shown, such concurrency increases the risk that significant problems will be discovered as the system is integrated and built, when it is more costly and time-consuming to fix them. Moreover, when even one technology does not mature as expected, the entire program can be thrown off course since time and cost for invention cannot be reliably estimated. DOD's new acquisition policy for its other weapon systems recognizes these risks and consequently requires technology and product development to be done separately.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD has made changes to its space acquisition policy to respond to GAO's recommendation. Primarily, it has moved key decision points to allow programs more time to attain knowledge about technologies, design, and production, and it has specified that space program technologies should be tested in a relevant environment during the phase B/preliminary design phase. In March 2007, the Executive Agent for Space issued a memorandum that incorporated our first recommendation for modifying the space acquisition policy. The memorandum directing space acquisition programs to align requirements and resources and to use a block approach that essentially separates technology development from product development.
Recommendation: In finalizing DOD's new space acquisition management policy, the Secretary of the Air Force, who is DOD's executive agent for space, should modify the policy to ensure that customer expectations can be matched to resources before starting product development (phase B). Specifically, the Secretary should separate technology development from product development.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense: Department of the Air Force
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: DOD has made changes to its space acquisition policy to respond to GAO's recommendation. Specifically, it stated that, where feasible, programs should achieve a technology readiness level of six during the preliminary design phase. This means technologies would be tested in a relevant environment. In its report, however, GAO stressed that space programs should have mature technologies at the time a program is started--that is--key decision point B, since this would allow DOD oversight officials and Congress to have a more accurate picture of cost and schedule when they commit to large investments in space and it would reduce the potential of having technical problems arise late in development, when they are more costly and time-consuming to fix.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Air Force should also set a minimum threshold of maturity for allowing technologies into a program. As noted in our report, we previously recommended that DOD should not allow technologies to enter into a weapon system's product development until they are assessed at a TRL 7, meaning that a prototype has been demonstrated in an operational environment.

Jason Scott Lee had to save Hitler from being executed by a rogue Timecop.
There was also a 9 episode long TV show that had one episode where Bruce Campbell portrayed a visiting Timecop who played it fast and loose with the rules.
I don't think it'll be good but next stop Netflix, I'll add it to the queue. Somewhere down the list.

Mehdi Hasan exposes misconceptions about the continent
Explore Japan through its offbeat train culture
15 Aug 2011 17:54 GMT | Sport, Football, Niger, Nigeria, United Kingdom
Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel appealed to kidnappers on Monday for the safe return of his father after he was abducted in Nigeria last week.
The 24-year-old Nigeria international played in Sunday's season-opening 0-0 draw at Stoke City despite knowing his father Michael was abducted on Friday.
In an interview with Sky Sports News, Mikel said: "We haven't heard anything, no phone calls, nothing.
"Whoever has got my dad or knows where my dad is please contact me and hopefully he will be released. Please let him go - my dad is an old man and he hasn't done any harm to anyone as far as I know and I don't know why he has been taken.
"This happens a lot, not in the northern part of Nigeria but in the eastern part. It's a very safe place where we live in Jos, I think it's a first that my father has been taken in the northern part," the midfielder added.
"I've told some of my team mates today but most of them didn't know on Sunday. I didn't want everyone coming up to me saying 'oh sorry Mikel', I just wanted to get on with the game"
John Obi Mikel
Mikel, who has never managed a Premier League goal for Chelsea, came close to scoring against Stoke with a long-range volley that goalkeeper Asmir Begovic tipped over the crossbar.
"It was really difficult. I spoke to the manager (Andre Villas-Boas) who asked me if I wanted to play the game and I said I wanted to play," explained Mikel who joined Chelsea in 2006 and won a league winner's medal last year.
"I didn't want to let my team down or the club down or my family. If I didn't play I think my mum would have been very sad with me.
"I've told some of my team mates today but most of them didn't know on Sunday. I didn't want everyone coming up to me saying 'oh sorry Mikel', I just wanted to get on with the game."
Chelsea's young player of the year in 2007 said everyone back home knows he is a professional footballer.
Safe haven?
"We live in a very safe and secure place in Nigeria so this is a real shock to me," said Mikel. "Me and my brother (in England) still cannot believe it.
"I don't know what to do at this point. It is very difficult for me."
Mikel said he would like to return to Nigeria but had been advised on safety and security grounds to remain in England. Earlier, his management company The Sport Entertainment & Media Group said no ransom demand had yet been received from the kidnappers.
Chelsea said in a statement: "We will give Mikel and his family our full support at this most difficult time". It is not the first time a relative of a Premier League player has been abducted in Nigeria after former Evertondefender Joseph Yobo's brother was kidnapped in 2008.

Coke to drop controversial ingredient entirely
The Atlanta-based company says brominated vegetable oil is still being used in some flavors of Fanta and Fresca, as well as several citrus-flavored fountain drinks.
The ingredient — which Coca-Cola says prevents certain ingredients from separating — had been the target of a petition by a Mississippi teenager. The ingredient will be replaced with others that fill the same function.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that Coca-Cola is dropping BVO from Powerade, following a similar move by PepsiCo's Gatorade last year.
Although companies stand by the safety of BVO, they say such changes are in response to customer feedback. Several companies have changed recipes as people look for foods they feel are natural.
