+ Plant Genetic Engineering and Organic Agriculture
Genetically engineered, organically grown? [ pdf ]By Pam Ronald, Sarah Hake, and Don Murch
Genetically engineered (GE) soybeans, corn, canola, cotton, and papaya are now widely grown in the US; many more GE crops are on the horizon. For Yolo farmers and consumers, planting and consumption of these crops is controversial. One reason is that genetic engineering enables an extraordinary level of novelty, and thus ecological complexity, so that it is challenging to develop general guidelines that will protect both the consumer and the environment. Consumers, farmers, and scientists will need to assemble accurate information about genetic engineering and the potential impacts and work together to evaluate each GE crop on a case-by-case basis. If we are to utilize GE plants, risk to the consumers and the environment must be minimized and at the same time, reduction of synthetic pesticide and fertilizers maximized. Here, we would like to provide our perspective to help move the discussion forward.
All GE crops are not alike and thus cannot be discussed as a meaningful category. Each GE crop is unique with regard to its environmental impact, potential health effects, social and economic ramifications. The importance of critically evaluating the final plant variety rather than process (e.g. breeding or genetic engineering) has been emphasized in three independent National Research Council reports (http://www.nap.edu/catalog/10258.html). Generic discussions of the benefit or risk of genetic engineering only polarize the debate.
According to the leading UK and US scientific agencies, GE crops commercialized to date are safe to eat. In 2002, the US National Academy of Science (http://www.nap.edu/catalog/10258.html) concluded that the transgenic process itself presents no new categories of risk compared to conventional methods of crop improvement. Specific traits introduced by both approaches can pose unique risks. Furthermore the United Kingdom GM Science Review (July 2003; http://www.gmsciencedebate.org.uk/report/default.htm) reported that after seven years of consumption of Round-up Ready corn/soybeans and Bt corn (genetically engineered to contain a bacterial protein Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), which is naturally toxic to caterpillars) primarily in the United States, Argentina and Canada, not a single case of adverse health impacts has been documented. Bt)is considered "safe†to eat because it is digested in minutes and is not absorbed as a whole protein by the body. Furthermore farmers have been using Bt to control insects on organic farms for 30 years (at ca. 1 million times the concentration per 50 acre application than is found in a single ear of BT corn), with no adverse effects. Although Round-up Ready corn/soybeans and Bt corn, which account for 99 percent of consumer exposure to GE crops, are safe to eat; food safety cannot be generalized to all future crops, including GE crops. Each new crop must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis using the most rigorous scientific standards if the public is to be confident of conventional and GE crop safety.
The risks of growing GE crops need to be balanced with other risks inherent to conventional farming techniques.
For example, we know that insecticides, synthetic and biologically
derived, are extensively used on many crops, and can be highly toxic
(many thousands of deaths per year, primarily of farm workers in
developing countries). Production of Bt cotton has already led to
enormous reductions in insecticide use in China (more than 150 million
pounds less in China in 2001, equivalent to 25 percent of all of the
insecticide sprayed before the adoption of Bt cotton). The exposure of
farm workers to broad-spectrum pesticides has been correspondingly
reduced (Toenniessen, et al; Plant Biology, 2003, 6:191-198). Although
there is concern that pests will evolve to become resistant to Bt
(which would normally occur if a pesticide is heavily used), the
positive effects on farm workers and the environment should be
considered when deciding on the merits of Bt crops.
Because organic farms use 97% less pesticide than conventional farms, organic production practices can contribute to reduction in pesticide use (Mader et al. 2002 Science 296:1694) However, after 25 years of development organic farms now constitute only ca. 1% of agriculture in the United States. To convert the remaining 99% of agriculture to more sustainable farming practices will take concerted efforts using all safe methods available.
With improved engineering and/or proper regulation, GE crops could coexist with other farming systems. Because genetic engineering is an "excluded method†in organic production (USDA National Organic Program Standards, section 205.2), organic growers fear that they will not be able to sell their crops if there is pollen drift from GE plants. Although the planting of GE crops could be banned altogether, an alternative solution is to identify tolerances that take advantage of the potential environmental and economic benefits of growing GE crops while limiting presence of transgenes in organic crops to low, but non-zero, levels. For example, the USDA national organic program standards tolerate set levels of pesticide drift (section 205.671), allowing organic farms to be located next to conventional farms that use pesticides. The same could be true of GE crops if tolerances for pollen drift are set at reasonable levels and liability is clear. Because many pesticides are known carcinogens, transition of conventional to GE crops would benefit neighboring organic farms as well as residents of rural areas who are exposed to pesticide drift on a regular basis.
In even the best-managed farming and food distribution system, there is still need to improve production practices. Thirty to 40 percent of potential global food, fiber and feed are lost to insects, nematodes, diseases and weeds. Sixty to 70 percent of these losses are in the developing world, at a cost of $300 billion a year. Abiotic stresses (e.g. drought or cold) account for even larger yield losses. Even incremental increases in the nutritional content, disease resistance, yield or stress tolerance of crops can go a long way to alleviating poverty by enabling farmers to produce and sell food locally, as well as by providing more nutritious food to help offset the malnutrition that affects one-sixth of the developing world and public sector scientists can play a role in this effort. Despite the increasing prominence and success of organic agriculture, there are still tremendous problems with pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, organic matter recycling and soil erosion in our agricultural systems. Because GE plant varieties can be integrated into any farming system and can be engineered to address local stress conditions, they could play a role in reducing some of the problems created by conventional agriculture. For example, new disease- and insect-resistant varieties could be developed that would significantly reduce pesticide use.
There may be problems in the present agricultural system that organic methods cannot solve, but genetic engineering can. For example, the papaya industry in Hawaii was virtually decimated by the presence of a single viral disease caused by the papaya ringspot virus (PRSV). A number of strategies, e.g., breeding for tolerance, cultural practices, and cross protection, failed to control the disease. The introduction of genetically engineered papaya in 1998 lead to a 20-fold increase in yield.The benefits extended to both conventional and organic growers because Hawaiian organic papaya can be grown disease free if it is produced near GE trees. This is because the GE fruit has all but eliminated the spread of the virus. In this case, GE tools were the cheapest, least technological and most accessible approach for addressing the problem.
Fair and reasonable decisions need to be made on labeling to provide useful information to consumers. The consumer has a right to know what is being consumed. However, a "GMO†label does not provide meaningful information. For example, although GE papaya contains trace amounts of GE papaya ringspot viral DNA, the genetic piece needed to provide immunization against the virus, organic papaya is likely to be virally infected and would therefore carry much higher levels of viral RNA as well as protein. What would be an informative label in either case?
The tools of genetic engineering and associated intellectual property (IP) must be accessible to less developed countries and for minor crops. The private sector focuses on crops such as corn and soybeans where markets are large, and the potential for profit great. In contrast, the development of subsistence crops important to the developing world, and small specialty crops for the US, are left for public sector collaborations. For example, in an attempt to reduce childhood blindness in South Asia, a rice variety was genetically engineered to produce pro-vitamin A. This research effort was generated by funds from nonprofit institutions, primarily the Rockefeller Foundation; the major beneficiaries would be young children in developing countries. In contrast, development of Roundup-Ready® corn was privately funded; the major beneficiaries are large growers and private companies throughout the world.
Although many significant discoveries and technologies have been generated with public funding, these discoveries are often no longer accessible as "public goods" because they have been exclusively licensed to the private sector. To address this problem, the major agricultural universities in the United States (including UCD) and other public-sector institutions initiated a new paradigm in the management of IP to facilitate widespread availability of GE tools. The goal is to assure that the public sector will benefit from the opportunity presented by GE plants. (Science 2003. 301:174). UC Davis has also established a genetic resources recognition fund (GRRF) to recognize and compensate developing nation contributions to university IP (http://indica.ucdavis.edu/).Conclusion Sustainable farming practices seek to:
- Provide safe and nutritious food;
- Minimally impact the environment;
- Provide healthful conditions for farm workers;
- Be profitable for farmers;
- Foster ecological farming practices;
- Benefit the local community; and
- Improve the lives of the poor and malnourished
We see significant potential for GE crops to be integrated into and be a part of sustainable farming practices, just as organic practices will play a role. Through continued dialogue, we can enhance the world's ability to cope with the problems of pesticide use, fertilizer contamination of the environment, loss of topsoil, hunger, disease and environmental degradation. Pamela Ronald

We are part of a system in distress. Our relationship with our planet is toxic and our geopolitical position is unsustainable, even indefensible. Point the telescope closer to home and the ecology of our art world also is threatened – with organisations being slowly starved of resources while artists continue to produce for a neoliberal machine that does not serve their interests.

CHILLICOTHE, ILLINOIS (Chillicothe Times-Bulletin) - The results of an eagle count were made available recently.
The annual Mid-Winter Bald Eagle Survey, coordinated by the Illinois Audubon Society, was conducted between the dates of Jan. 4-18.
The goal of the survey is to maintain the long-term, national coordination of the surveys collected, analysis of that data, and reporting of the results. Nationally, this effort is administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The 2012 statewide surveyors counted 2,152 eagles, up slightly from the 2,108 birds counted in 2011.
Surveyors noted that while milder temperatures have kept rivers free of ice, it had been cold enough to freeze most of the backwater areas. Normally surveyors face harsh winter conditions while conducting their surveys.
Routes can be treacherous due to ice and/or snow cover, high water levels and sudden snowstorms the day of the survey can impair visibility.
A total of 44 routes are conducted each year in Illinois.
Twenty-nine of those routes are located on the Mississippi River and nine on the Illinois River. Additional routes include Ohio and Wabash Rivers, Crab Orchard Lake, Horseshoe Lake Conservation Area and Carlyle Lake.
The largest populations of the eagles spotted were counted along the Mississippi River (76 percent of the overall total), followed by 36 percent observed on the Illinois River and 8 percent sighted on the remaining surveys.
The number of adults versus immature eagles reported on these surveys, an important indicator of recovery and survival remains at 60 percent and 40 percent, respectively.

Product Description
"Ben Stiller directs and stars in THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY, James Thurber's classic story of a daydreamer who escapes his anonymous life by disappearing into a world of fantasies filled with heroism, romance and action. The movie is featuring a soundtrack by Theodore Shapiro, who made a name for himself by composing the soundtracks for some of the biggest comedy movie hits of the last years, such as The Devil Wears Prada, Tropic Thunder, Marley & Me, Along Came Polly, You, Me and Dupree, Jennifer's Body and Did You Hear About the Morgans?. On 12 tracks the Swedish indie folk singer-songwriter and guitarist José González will join Theodore Shapiro González is relying simply on his own masterfully eloquent classical guitar and a voice that marries mature assuredness with poignant delicacy. His songs have been featured in popular TV series such as Scrubs, Bones, House and Numb3rs."

The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty is a tremendously resonating score. The whole soundscape is unique and feels like it has its own distinct identity, and I think that's very important for the central character of Walter. Shapiro gives us a very definitive theme that immediately grounds us in Walter's plain life. We feel the emptiness and we feel the loneliness, but we also feel the yearn for excitement and the fear holding back the ability to pursue it. The life of the score comes from his dream sequences where Shapiro is free to be as big as he wants. However, the music never feels like it detaches from the main body of the score. In other words, the dream sequences are not their own pieces as they are still very much part of the continuing narrative. As the story moves along and Walter goes further on his real-life journey, we feel the music fill up with a sense of fulfillment. The identity of Walter in the music doesn't change, but everything starts to feel more complete and accomplished. There are truly some beautiful moments that will send that wonderful chill down your spine. The music grows as the character does, and the thematic structure of it all is so strong. You feel like you're part of this score all the way through. Once you move past the short tracks that makeup the beginning of the album you will find some great moments where the score is allowed to work freely and continually. As the album continues you'll find longer tracks to get lost in, and they are really special. When we finally close the narrative at the end you feel accomplished; you feel fulfilled. You feel as if the music added something to you that wasn't there before, and that's kind of amazing.
The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty utilizes wonderful arrangements, vocals and themes to effectively create an enriching story. Theodore Shapiro has always been one of my favorite composers, and I feel like his work needs way more recognition than it gets. The music here for this film is truly something special and unique. There is so much life and inspiration here that it's impossible for this music not to affect the listener. The beauty in it all is that this is a very simple score, but the rich character behind it makes it feel organic and unique. Swedish singer/songwriter José González contributes some of his skills and Mark Graham also makes some contributions to the album. This is a special one that snuck in there at the end of the year, and you'll be glad that you checked it out.

Oct 18, 2013Despite some technical hiccups, I actually think handheld is a better version of the game than a console experience, and if you have the system for it, definitely get this one on the go.
Oct 22, 2013Easy to pick up and play for a few minutes and still as fun as it was on the home console, the graphics not looking quite as good as on Wii U should not prevent anyone from picking up that version, as it is a pleasure to play while on the move.
Nov 20, 2013If you suffer the charm of pinball, if you love Star Wars and if you are looking for a game to always carry in your pocket, Star Wars Pinball for 3DS is a very good choice.
Oct 7, 2013Star Wars Pinball is a classic game, based on the George Lucas' Universe. The table Design is inspired and everything works fine, but the annoying bug with the wifi connection must be addressed as soon as possible.
Nov 15, 2013Star Wars Pinball is better on the Wii U than on its handheld brother, but still a fun game to play. With different machines and the great soundtrack this game is okay. It's up to you if you want to pay a good seven euro's for the game.
Sep 24, 2013Behind a laundry list of complaints is an exceptional game of pinball and a loving tribute to the star-spanning story of good vs. evil, but compared to the Wii U version it's a downgrade in almost every way.
Oct 22, 2013The game feels like more Star Wars than pinball, and at its core it's just a dressed up pinball game with some nice extras. If you're a pinball lover and a fan of the Star Wars franchise, you'll be in heaven with this game. If you're not, then it might not be for you.

What weDon't listen to the reviewers here as they're comparing this to the HD versions. Of course its not going to look as good as those. What we do have here is Zen Studios best effort on the 3ds! Sound quality is top notch and I believe its the best of all the Zen 3d pinball games on the system! To get the best out of it though its needs to be played on the XL. One last thing is currently the leader boards are messing up the game causing the tables to crash. This can be circumvented be turning off the leader boards in the options menu. At the very least the tables can be played till a fix is finally available!… Collapse

This paper describes the application of IBM TAKMI® for Biomedical Documents to facilitate knowledge discovery from the very large text databases characteristic of life science and healthcare applications. This set of tools, designated MedTAKMI, is an extension of the TAKMI (Text Analysis and Knowledge MIning) system originally developed for text mining in customer-relationship-management applications. MedTAKMI dynamically and interactively mines a collection of documents to obtain characteristic features within them. By using multifaceted mining of these documents together with biomedically motivated categories for term extraction and a series of drill-down queries, users can obtain knowledge about a specific topic after seeing only a few key documents. In addition, the use of natural language techniques makes it possible to extract deeper relationships among biomedical concepts. The MedTAKMI system is capable of mining the entire MEDLINE® database of 11 million biomedical journal abstracts. It is currently running at a customer site.

The Mars Exploration Rover mission is one of NASA's most ambitious science missions to date. Launched in the summer of 2003, each rover carries instruments for conducting remote and in site observations to elucidate the planet's past climate, water activity, and habitability. Science is MER's primary driver, so making best use of the scientific instruments, within the available resources, is a crucial aspect of the mission. To address this criticality, the MER project team selected MAPGEN (mixed initiative activity plan generator) as an activity-planning tool. MAPGEN combines two existing systems, each with a strong heritage: the APGEN activity-planning tool from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Europa planning and scheduling system from NASA Ames Research Center. We discuss the issues arising from combining these tools in this mission's context. MAPGEN is the first AI-based system to control a space platform on another planet's surface.

felt duped
We've used CK since our bankruptcy. This weekend we went to get a new car. We went in believing our credit score was 670. The minimum to get financed at the lot we visited was 640. Imagine our surpise when they came to us and told us our fico is 602! That is such a huge point difference. We wouldn't have applied for a loan if we had known our true score. It resulted in a hard credit inquiry that dropped our score today 12 points. We were wondering the same thing as previous people. Why the difference in fico scores when everything else is so spot on? They update our credit card balances and car loan balances monthly and are always current, so why not our score? :-/

Reason Scores are lower
Credit Karma is in the business of trying to convince people with low scores to apply for credit risk credit cards.

Why hasn't CreditKarma Answered any of these inaccurate scores?? i mean mine is only -35 off Transunion but stilll what gives??????
16 People Helped
Reasonable and Unsatisfactorily Answered
CreditKarma touts a "Transunion" score and promotes applications to lenders based on probable approval. When actual Transunion and other reporting agency scores are significantly lower, the result is credit damaging hard credit checks which result in credit denials, or approvals of new cards with tiny balances, issufficient to make meaningful balance transfers, the issuance of said, further decreas your actual credit score. I find these inacuracies and subsequent credit damaging marketing disappointing.
Why indeed is my Creditcarma Transunion score higher than my actual Transunion score?! Marketing ploy?
0 People Helped
Me too!
On Credit Karma my Transunion score is 714 while on my actual Transunion report it's 594! A difference of 120 points!
On Credit Karma my Equifax score is 693 while on my actual Equifax treport it's 614! A difference of 79 points!
What gives?
2 People Helped
Oddly my Transunion score is 100 points higher than creditkarma reports. I now believe this is some tye of marketing ploy to get you to accept offers to "help" your credit which is garbage as well. I now have 0 faith in this site. A paid service is the way to go.

You're lucky yours is only 30 points off. Mine was 100 points off and boy was I embarrased when I applied for an account and was told how much lower it was with equifax!
2552 People Helped
Different scoring algorithms. It's very common to see that kind of difference. Nearly all the online scores we can get are only estimates of our real FICO scores -- just guidelines for our use.

Credit Karma scores GROSSLY inaccurate
i just had my credit pulled for a loan by a bank which reported my scores by Trans Union and Equifax as 694 and 698 respectively, while Credit Karma shows my Trans Union and Equifax scores as 772 each. TOTALLY out of sync. this kind of difference CANNOT be explained by use of different algorithms, this is plain WRONG.
0 People Helped
Way off
My Equifax score is 699. My CreditKarma "Equifax" score is 816. These are vastly different between barely average and excellent. Although I will admit the Equifax score I purchased doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It "rates" me on different aspects of my credit file, with four categories showing excellent, one category showing good, and one category (lenght of credit history) as fair. But when it all rolls up into a score, they rate me a good. How do I have four in the excellent category and end up with a good score.
When you look at my report, I scored excellent in payment history, balances to credit limits, mix of credit. These three carry the most weight, and the one fair category carries the least weight. Just don't understand how Equifax arrived at "good."

A new European partnership will aim to ensure that graphene supercapacitor technology powers the next generation of large, heavy-lift airships for industrial applications in China and France. Skeleton Technologies will join French firm Flying Whales' programme to build a 60-ton Large Capacity Airship, or LCA60T, for the global transport market.
Skeleton Technologies will join the programme to help design and build hybrid propulsion for the LCA60T's electric power systems. Average operational power is expected to be approximately 1.5 MW with the company's graphene-based supercapacitors assisting to cover the additional 2 MW peaks for hovering, lifting and stabilization in reasonable and turbulent environments.

I've been using Ubuntu for a little while now, but I plan on dual-booting with Fedora just to try it. Does Fedora give you the option to partition your disk and dual boot upon installation or do I have to partition the disk before I go into installation?
Yes to both of your questions. Probably the most intelligent way to do this is to partition according to your needs in a pre-installation-kickstart-file.
The Fedora installer has a step in which you can modify and resize partitions with a GParted-like interface.
You can choose to have Fedora reinstall the GRUB bootloader, overwriting the existing one from Ubuntu. Following this, GRUB will have entries for both Fedora and Ubuntu when you reboot.

ATLANTA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA -- In a season full of performance debuts, music director Robert Spano leads the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in another first, presenting all six of the Bach Brandenburg Concertos in one evening. These chamber pieces have, over the years, somehow become associated with the season, as orchestras increasingly perform them as a classical holiday alternative that's more artistically satisfying than, say, "Jingle Bells." And the ASO promises to present these works "in an elegant setting" -- whatever that might mean. Symphony Hall (Brown)
BILLY PILGRIM, DAVID FRANKLIN -- Andrew Hyra and Christian Bush released one of the strangest records to come from the Decatur scene this year. Their Billy in the Time Machine is an amazing song cycle. Here's hoping they perform it in its entirety. Opening act David Franklin is a soul-searching folk songwriter who can still rock when he has the urge. Eddie's Attic (Smith)
BILLY RAT'S FIFTH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR -- Truckadelic is no more (although there's talk of a New Year's Eve reunion show), so impish guitarist Billy Rat is hosting the 2001 Toys For Tots benefit by himself. Guest performers include Shitty Claus with his band, Yule Log (Jim Stacy and friends playing punked-up Christmas carols), hard-hitting Bitch, heavy-hitting Bully, the Half-Crocked Rockets (a chopped-down version of rockabilly favorites the Blacktop Rockets), along with Patterson Hood (from the Drive-By Truckers) and irrepressible tiny superhero songbird Danger Woman. It all starts at 8 p.m. Admission to this loopy party is one new unwrapped toy, which U.S. Marines will collect at the door. Star Bar (Nicoll)
KRS-ONE -- Hip-hop's teacher tours again. Returning the boom-bap to the beats and the social consciousness to the lyrics of hip-hop, KRS-One -- no small man -- literally towers over audiences (but doesn't speak down to them) with his mix of classic and contemporary material for shaking free asses and attitudes. He worked through a blown speaker system last time he was in town, so let him work you up. EarthLink Live (Ware)
NILLAH -- See Earshot, p. 91. Echo Lounge (Smith)
ROGER RUZOW/WOODY WILLIAMS DUO -- The blistering wind of trumpeter Roger Ruzow meets the rolling thunder of master percussionist Woody Williams in a storm of beautifully improvised music. Eyedrum (Khalid)
6X, HELGAS, PLASTICS -- Tired of hearing those same old sappy, overplayed Christmas songs? Well, come clean out your eardrums with a triple assault of hard-blastin' punk rock. 6X are Atlanta's own sizzling answer to Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, the Helgas sport sardonic silliness amidst volcanic bombast and the Plastics offer overdriven amperage in the best Stooges/Dolls tradition. Together they crank out enough energy to electrify a whole forest's worth of Xmas trees. The Earl (Nicoll)
SOUND TRIBE SECTOR 9 -- Sound Tribe Sector 9 brings its granola-powered, Roland-generated grooves back to its home state. Psychedelic improvisation that's beguiled both the VW Van and VapoRub sets, Sound Tribe Sector 9's looping, danceable dub ranges from the repetitious to the hypnotic. Tabernacle (Ware)
WINTER CHILL CELEBRATION -- International electronica/DJ star Chris Brann (Wamdue, Ananda Project, P'Taah) comes home to Atlanta to highlight a lineup that also includes Marc-Alan Gray, Ryan Wofford and Bil Clancey. Trinity (Sarig)
YOUNG ANTIQUES, LEGEND OF THE GIANT SQUID, GARRISON FIELD -- The Young Antiques continue their reign as one of Atlanta's best live acts with an appealing mixture of rock, folk and Americana. Legend of the Giant Squid is a slippery creature full of mythological scene veterans, including Tom Branch of Insane Jane and Gib Fenning of Silent Peas. Opening act Garrison Field is an earnest, well-honed rock act with a sensibility that suggests Peter Gabriel. Smith's Olde Bar (Smith)

Red Solo Cup – The Christmas Version [VIDEO]
Red Solo Cup, I fill you up. Let's have a party!
Red Solo Cup, I fill you up. Let's have a party!
There are a lot of great party songs out there right now in country music that we are playing for you on Today's Country 1077 'GNA.
From WGNA listener Mike Wagner
More Red Solo Cup fans right here at home in the Albany area keep sending me photos of howe they are having fun with Red Solo Cups
Being a country radio DJ, it's obvious that I love music. I'm always listening at home, in my car and just about everywhere. When I listen to an artist's CD, I don't just pay attention to the latest singles, I listen carefully to the whole album.
LMAO!!!! This is nuts! Good nuts, not bad nuts.
Well folks, we get some pretty unique things in the mail here at 1077 'GNA. As the program director I probably get the strangest mail of all. Yesterday I put up a story about my five favorite fudges for the Christmas season which you can check out here in case you missed it.
I don't know if any of you were at SPAC for the Country Throwdown tour a few years ago, but if you were Eric Church stole that show. He was a big time hit again this past summer with Toby Keith at SPAC too.
Toby Keith's "Red Solo Cup" is making its way up the charts. It's already the number one downloaded country song and the number one requested video on CMT.
Today is the day before Thanksgiving, it is also considered the biggest party day of the year.
How many people have ever hosted a party? It doesn't matter where or when it was I bet most of them had Red Solo Cups somewhere.
It is official. Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw will in fact be touring next year together.
The 45th CMA Awards Show going down tonight. Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley will be hosting the big show.

Before December, the area of Miami was on track to break the all-time home sales record with almost 13,000 homes sold. For the past five years, the Miami-Dade area has put up a home sales record that it continues to beat, year after year.
When you take a look at the sales figures that were posted in November, there is no question that this area is on track to do it, yet again.
In the previous month alone (November) the Miami-Dade area saw a total of 907 single family homes sold – see website for recent Miami home sales. This brings the total for the year to an impressive 12,857 – just through the month of November.
Setting New Records
The record for the 2014 calendar year was 13,521, which means that it will not be impossible to reach and overcome. This actually equated to 21 homes sold each day, or one home per hour for the entire month of December.
This impressive sale momentum is not going to end anytime soon, either. This trend is expected to continue moving strong well into 2016, with more developments being offered and more homes coming available.
Also, the median sales price for the single family homes in the Miami-Dade area were $274,900 back in November, which was up a total of 12.2 percent from the previous year. For the condos, the prices increased by to an average cost of $203,000, which represents a seven percent increase when compared to the same period in the previous year.
Declines in some Real Estate Sectors
Even though they are nearing the record, the residential market for the Miami-Dade County is still seeing some declines. For example, the sales that were posted for November by the Miami Association of Realtors was down by 6.7 percent when compared to the year over year numbers for the single family homes in the area. However, the number of new listings being sold is still going up. In fact, the total number of new listed single family dwellings that were listed during November was up by 3.5 percent to 1,785 from the previous year's listings from November of 1,725.
The Thriving Condo Market
However, there is another side. The condo market in Miami-Dade has sped up in the previous months and the sales are going up with more units available than ever before. The sales for the current condos for the month of November increased by 1.9 percent from last year and jumped from just 1,077 total closings to a total of 1,097 closings this year.
There is no question that the number of new listings for condos in the Miami-Dade area is going to continue to increase. There are at least 11 projects in the planning or construction phases, which equates to almost 4,000 new units, coming in the next five to 10 years. While the increase in condos from the previous month was only 12.2 percent, this is a trend that is going to continue for the foreseeable future. While these condos are coming in quickly, they are also highly sought after, which is helping to strengthen the economy.

The first genetically hybridized human/sasquatch. The creature displays a Lenoesque chin causing their face to take on the characteristics of the moon. This is further evidenced in the fact the creature was bred at night. There is currently only one Moonface known to exist. This one lonely creature is believed to be female but since it is quite elusive to capture...the necessary studying to determine such qualities has been hindered.
P1. Omg. Her face looks like a moon.
P2. Wow. It does. I guess she's a moon-face.
P1. I have heard of that. But isn't there only one of them??
P2. As far as we know.
P1. Could you imagine a whole society of moonfaces??
P2. Oh. My brain just shut down on that thought.

Temple of the Dogby Temple of the Dog
View All Available Formats & Editions
Featuring members of Soundgarden and what would soon become Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog's lone eponymous album might never have reached a wide audience if not for Pearl Jam's breakout success a year later. In turn, by providing the first glimpse of Chris Cornell's more straightforward, classic rock-influenced side, Temple of the Dog helped set the stage for Soundgarden's mainstream breakthrough with Superunknown. Nearly every founding member of Pearl Jam appears on Temple of the Dog (including the then-unknown Eddie Vedder), so perhaps it isn't surprising that the record sounds like a bridge between Mother Love Bone's theatrical '70s-rock updates and Pearl Jam's hard-rocking seriousness. What is surprising, though, is that Cornell is the dominant composer, writing the music on seven of the ten tracks (and lyrics on all). Keeping in mind that Soundgarden's previous album was the overblown metallic miasma of Louder Than Love, the accessibly warm, relatively clean sound of Temple of the Dog is somewhat shocking, and its mellower moments are minor revelations in terms of Cornell's songwriting abilities. It isn't just the band, either -- he displays more emotional range than ever before, and his melodies and song structures are (for the most part) pure, vintage hard rock. In fact, it's almost as though he's trying to write in the style of Mother Love Bone -- which makes sense, since Temple of the Dog was a tribute to that band's late singer Andrew Wood. Not every song here is directly connected to Wood; once several specific elegies were recorded, additional material grew quickly out of the group's natural chemistry. As a result, there's a very loose, jam-oriented feel to much of the album, and while it definitely meanders at times, the result is a more immediate emotional impact. The album's strength is its mournful, elegiac ballads, but thanks to the band's spontaneous creative energy and appropriately warm sound, it's permeated by a definite, life-affirming aura. That may seem like a paradox, but consider the adage that funerals are more for the living than the dead; Temple of the Dog shows Wood's associates working through their grief and finding the strength to move on.

I can't believe nobody's reviewed this! First off, this is a remarkable album, and if you don't own it, go out and get it now. This album would appeal to a wide audience, especially if you like Pearl Jam or Soundgarden. But there even if you like classic rock, which is my main musical focus, you should enjoy this, you can feel the Led Zeppelin influence, which is a very good thing. Well the history of this, is that this is a tribute to these musicians friend, the deceased Andrew Wood, lead singer of Mother Love Bone. Although his death was tragic, I think Andrew Wood would be happy to see his bandmates rising to such success (Pearl Jam). Wood's unfortunate death did two great things for music, gave us Pearl Jam, and Temple of the Dog. Basically, Temple of the Dog is what Pearl Jam would sound like with Chris Cornell in controll of the group, and Eddie singing background vocals. Now I am a big fan of both Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell, and i think they are the two best frontment around today, but their musical styles are much different, and this is an experiment that produces astounding results. Cornell shines, and gives us a good glimpse into the musical territory he would later explore on his brilliant solo debut album "Euphoria Morning." This is not to say that Pearl Jam's most prominent member is just shoved to the side. Vedder even duets with Cornell, and this is his recording debut World meet Eddie Vedder, Eddie Vedder, world. Anyway, it would be great to produce a follow up (possibly a tribute to Layne Stayley??) and this album is a knockout from start to finish.
I just loved this record from the time I first heard (hunger strike and say hello to heaven) most people just do not care for this record. But to me it will always withstand the test of time. They say nirvana was great no where does it mention temple of the dog as an influence on (audioslave, a perfect circle,and many other side project bands). If nirvana was so great why didn't Kurt cobain,dave grohl or chris noviselic contribute their so called greatness to this album.
A very bluesy album, one that spans the gap between 90s grunge and 80s metal. Hunger Strike is a masterpiece, cornell's vocals on Pushing, in particular, are blistering and his efforts throughout first class. With so much talent, its no wonder such an impressive album was the result. An important step in the evolution of music into the 90s, with a big nod back to Led Zep in some places. A tribute to a fallen comrade, with the theme of death pervading the album and influencing the fledgling grunge scene at the time.
This is a great grunge album. Combine Pearl Jam and soundgarden and you get TOTD. I remember the 90's like yesterday. 90-96 was a period of time like no other. Now I feel like a dweeb still clad in flannel with a 2 ft long hairdoo. Were still out there though!! p.s. cant wait for new Pearl Jam album.
