Bill Haley
- Bill Haley
Bill Haley was there from the beginning—he was blending sounds from country, Dixieland and R&B before the term "rock and roll" was even invented.
He is best known for his hit single "Rock Around the Clock," an anthem for rebellious teenagers. However, Haley had been producing hits and pioneering the genre even before "Rock" launched him to superstardom.
In 1954 bandleader Bill Haley and His Comets recorded "Rock Around the Clock," a rock and roll anthem that stayed at Number One for eight weeks and sold an estimated twenty-five million copies worldwide.
"Rock Around the Clock" re-entered the British charts seven times, most recently in 1974.
If only for the impact of "Rock Around the Clock," Haley would deserve a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Yet his impact in the early days of rock and roll went well beyond that milestone.
Two years earlier he'd put out "Crazy, Man, Crazy" an original amalgam of country and R&B that arguably became the first rock and roll record to register on Billboard's pop chart. For most of the Fifties, Haley was a presence on the record charts, and he appeared in several rock and roll movies aimed at teenagers. It is estimated that Haley and His Comets have sold 60 million records worldwide.
How important was "Rock Around the Clock"? "Before it became a hit in summer 1955—more than a year after it was recorded—rock 'n' roll was virtually an underground movement, something kids listened to on the sly," wrote journalist Alex Frazer-Harrison. "This changed after 'Rock Around the Clock.' The music was everywhere."
Haley has been called "the father of rock and roll" and "rock 'n' roll's first star." "We premiered it," he told Rolling Stone in 1967. "We put country & western together with rhythm & blues, and that was rock. The first three years were ours, all ours, till [Elvis] Presley came along." Haley argued that he even helped give rock and roll its name. Haley penned a song called "Rock-A-Beatin' Boogie"—whose chorus went "Rock, rock, rock everybody/Roll, roll, roll everybody"—that was recorded by the Treniers in 1953 and adopted by disc jockey Alan Freed on his Cleveland-based Moondog radio show.
Haley broke into rock and roll via country and western music. He was a member of the Downhomers and musical director for the Saddlemen. The latter group had a regular radio show at a Chester, Pennsylvania, radio station. Haley brought different sounds into the Saddlemen's repertoire in an attempt to blend "country and western, Dixieland and the old-style rhythm & blues." In 1951, Haley cut a version of Jackie Brenston's "Rocket 88"—arguably the first rock and roll record—which would make Haley's cover "the first rock and roll recording by a white artist," according to The Billboard Book of Number One Hits. In 1952, Haley and the Saddlemen released "Rock This Joint," a rocked-up R&B song, on the Essex label. Decades later, writer Nick Tosches would single it out as "one of the first instances of a white boy really getting down to the art of hep." By 1953, the group had changed its name to Bill Haley and His Comets and recorded the slang-filled "Crazy, Man, Crazy," a bonafide rock and roll hit whose title derived from the teenage slang Haley picked up from performing at high schools. Haley and His Comets thereupon got signed to Decca Records. At their first session for Decca in 1954, they cut "Rock Around the Clock" (which had originally been recorded in 1952 by Sunny Dae and His Knights). The fast-fingered guitar solo was provided by session musician Danny Cedrone, who basically reprised the solo he'd contributed to Haley's "Rock The Joint" two years earlier. In a sad irony, Cedrone died from a fall in July 1954, nearly a year before "Rock Around the Clock" took off.
Little attention was paid to "Rock Around the Clock" when it first appeared as the B side of "Thirteen Women" in May 1954. The group followed it with their cover version of Big Joe Turner's "Shake, Rattle and Roll," which cracked the Top Ten in July 1954 and sold a million copies. "Rock Around the Clock" got a second lease on life after being picked for the soundtrack to The Blackboard Jungle, a 1955 movie about high-school delinquency that generated controversy in the press and pandemonium among the young. In effect, "Rock Around the Clock" became an anthem for rebellious Fifties youth. It hung on the charts for nearly half a year and set sales records that have yet to be broken. The 1956 movie Rock Around the Clock, which featured nine lip-synched performances by Haley, made him a spit-curled star here and abroad. His celebrity was particularly long-lived in Britain, where he came to be regarded as rock and roll royalty. Haley had his third million-selling hit in 1956 with "See You Later, Alligator," which had been an R&B hit for Bobby Charles the previous year. More hits followed in the same rocking vein—"R.O.C.K." (Number Sixteen), "The Saints Rock 'n' Roll" (Number Eighteen), "Rip It Up" (Number Twenty-Five), "Rudy's Rock" (Number Thirty-Four) and "Skinny Minnie" (Number Twenty-Two)—although the ascent of Elvis Presley took some of the wind out of the less charismatic Haley's sails in the later Fifties.
The year 1962 was a disastrous one for Haley that saw the breakup of the Comets and his marriage, among other problems. Haley found steady work again when Sixties rock fans began discovering the music's roots at events such as the highly successful "Rock 'n' Roll Revival" concerts, first staged by promoter Richard Nader in 1969. Haley's career got more big lifts in the early Seventies. He re-recorded "Rock Around the Clock" in 1973, and it was this version that played over the opening credits for the popular TV show Happy Days. The original recording appeared on the 1974 soundtrack for American Graffiti and became a hit in the U.S. for the second time that year.
Saxophonist Rudy Pompilli—the longest-lived of Haley's Comet of all, having been with him since the mid-Fifties—died in 1976. Haley himself, having spent much of the Seventies in failing health, gave his last performance in 1980 and died of a heart attack in 1981. He was 55 years old.

The Tim Tebow experiment is back on!
For the first time in his career, the schizophrenic Denver QB went and won a game all on his own yesterday.
Yeah, the Steelers played an idiotic defensive scheme that allowed Tebow to simply chuck up deep balls to receivers in single coverage.
But he ultimately put those deep balls right on the money, hitting his receivers in stride to they could run for big yardage, and threading a beautiful pass to a Eddie Royal for a second-quarter touchdown.
The Tebow we saw all year — the one who handed the ball off, didn't take any chances, yet somehow pulled out lucky games against crappy opponents — couldn't have won this game.
But of course, Tebow stepped up his level in the most important game of the season because that's how the inexplicable logic of Tebowmania works.
Who knows if he can duplicate this next week in New England. And who knows if he'll ever have this type of performance again.
But if nothing else, Tebow and his disciples can always point to yesterday's game as proof that he's not a fraud, that he possesses some potential to be a legit NFL quarterback.
So we admit it: he played well, he changed the game, and for once, he worked a miracle all his own.

For a video of an Egyptian activist describing his own experience of the revolution and the two years since, please scroll to bottom of the story.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect the deaths in today's clashes.
Thousands of people gathered in Tahrir Square today to protest against Egypt's president on the second anniversary of the uprising that swept his predecessor from power, even as violence flared in some protest across the country, with hundreds wounded and at least four dead in clashes with police.
Meanwhile, the president's supporters spent the day offering cheap food and much-needed services to Egypt's needy.
Filled with disappointment over the unmet demands of the 2011 uprising, and anger toward President Mohamed Morsi for what they say is his failure to represent all Egyptians, protesters filled the square once again, chanting slogans familiar from the days of demonstrating against former President Hosni Mubarak and his regime. A banner strung on palm trees in the square proclaimed the familiar slogan: "The people want the downfall of the regime."
The anniversary also brought violence, as protesters clashed with police and each other in cities across the country, wounding hundreds of people and killing several in Suez, according to state television in the city. In Tahrir, mostly young men traded barrages of rocks and tear gas over a wall of cement blocks. Ambulances waited nearby to carry away the injured, sirens wailing as they crawled through the flag-waving crowd. As night fell, skirmishes with police around the city became more intense, and several offices of the Muslim Brotherhood's political party were reportedly attacked.
Many of the changes protesters sought in January 2011 remain unfulfilled – one sign in Tahrir read: "Where is social justice? Where is police reform?" Egyptians are bitterly divided between supporters of the Islamist president, and those who feel he is consolidating power and building a government that excludes his non-Islamist opponents. The protesters sought to capitalize on swelling anger at the president and the Brotherhood since they rushed a vote last month on a controversial constitution draft against an outcry from the opposition.
"This is just the start of our struggle against the Muslim Brotherhood," says Elhamy Helal, standing next to the smoldering remains of some tires as youth threw rocks at police nearby. "I think it will be a long struggle."
Mr. Helal, who participated in the revolution and most of the demonstrations since, says the protesters now want Mr. Morsi to step down and a new constitution to be written. The constitution passed in a referendum with 64 percent of the vote, although turnout was only 33 percent of the voting population. A large sign in Tahrir called the document a "constitution of the Ikhwan," or Muslim Brotherhood.
The document put up for a vote by the Islamist-dominated committee will make Egypt a religious country in the long run, Helal says.
"Morsi is not a president for all of Egypt. He's just a president for the Muslim Brothers and the salafis," says Helal, repeating a common refrain of protesters. "He has also failed in managing the economy and state institutions.... Why should he stay? He hasn't accomplished any of the goals of the revolution."
Zucchini softens frustrations
But while those in Tahrir used the anniversary of the uprising to protest, the Muslim Brotherhood and its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, chose to commemorate the day with a countrywide service project dubbed "Together We Build Egypt." Local branches of the organizations painted schools, planted trees, and sold food and other goods at cheap prices in needy neighborhoods, a deliberate contrast to the protests in the square. For decades before it came to power, the Muslim Brotherhood built support among Egyptians with similar charity work.
In Ezbet el Nakhl, a simple neighborhood far from the din of Tahrir, several men selling vegetables, pasta, and cooking oil at reduced prices outside a mosque did a brisk business with area residents. Zucchini, which cost six Egyptian pounds (about $0.90) per kilogram at normal vegetable stalls in the neighborhood, were only 2-1/2 pounds at the Brotherhood stand. Tomatoes were one pound per kilogram, instead of 1-1/2 elsewhere.
The Brotherhood and FJP bought the vegetables wholesale, and sold them for nearly the same price. Yousuf Kamal, a Brotherhood member from the neighborhood, says the money to buy the goods came from the pockets of local members.
Abeer, a mother of five wearing a full-face veil, or niqab, carried bulging bags of tomatoes, onions, and zucchini as she stepped away from the table. She says life is getting harder as prices rise, but efforts like this make it more more bearable. "It's a good service for the people," she says, adding that the Muslim Brotherhood is the only organization providing such services in the neighborhood.
Helping people is more useful than protesting, she adds, referencing those in Tahrir. "We don't need to do that," she says. "Morsi hasn't had a chance yet to show what he can do. We have to give him a chance before we judge his performance."
Don't protest, build
Many of the Brotherhood's opponents have accused the FJP of vote buying by running such charity drives in the runup to elections. Indeed, new parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held by April. But Abeer scoffed at the notion that her vote could be bought for the few pounds she saved on tomatoes and onions, and pointed out that the Brotherhood has a long history of social work. But the sale did show that the FJP has the people's interests at heart, she says.
Nearby, Brotherhood women were selling new and used clothes at greatly reduced prices. The clothes were piled on tables in a ground-floor room filled with voices of women and children as they shopped for their families. On one table, childrens' clothes were sold for 1 to 2-1/2 pounds per item. New men's shirts, still in the packaging, were sold for seven to ten.
"The Brotherhood are those who feel the pain of the people who are lower, and they help them to bring them up," says Eman Fouda, one of the Brotherhood members helping to sell the clothes. "The country doesn't need protests. We need to build our country."
Back in Tahrir Square, there was little talk about upcoming elections. "If they forged the constitutional referendum, they will forge the parliamentary elections," says Helal, explaining why he would rather protest than help an opposition party prepare for the vote. "What should we wait for? For Morsi to make all the government institutions under his control?"

N.Y. legislators oppose cuts to programs serving developmentally disabled
ALBANY >> Legislators vowed Wednesday to block Gov. Andrew Cuomo's proposed $240 million cut in budget funding for programs serving the developmentally disabled.
"We can't allow the balancing of the budget on the backs of the most vulnerable populations in the state of New York," said Sen. David Carlucci (D-Rockland County), the chairman of the Mental Health and Development Disabilities Committee. "So we're here today to say, don't turn your back on us. We're going to keep fighting. We're going to be working together in the Senate and Assembly to make sure these cuts don't happen."
Assemblyman Tom Abananti, who has a son with autism, said that Assembly Mental Health Committee Chair Aileen Gunther has recommended rejection of Cuomo's proposed cuts. He said Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver supports that recommendation and Democrats are trying to find the money to fill the budget hole created by the proposal.
"Can we make a commitment that it's all going to be in the one-house budget?" he added. "No, we can't do that but we're working very hard to find the money to do that."
Monday, the Senate and Assembly majorities are schedule to release their one-house versions of the budget that is scheduled to be in place by March 21. Conference committees to resolve the differences are scheduled to convene next week to draw up final agreed upon bills.
Abananti and Carlucci spoke at a press conference attended by dozens of disabled people and their families, as well as representatives of the agencies that offer them services. The agencies face a 6 percent across the board cut under Cuomo's budget plan.
"New York State has allowed people with the most severe developmental disabilities and medical conditions to live in the community, to live in homes, to live in apartments, to live everywhere and be part of their community ... That will stop if the 6 percent cuts go through," said Susan Constantino, the CEO of the agency representing cerebral palsy associations across the state. "We will not be able to do what we have done. We will not have the dollars."
In the final revision of his 2013-14 budget plan, Cuomo proposed cutting money from the budget of the Office of People With Developmental Disabilities, the state agency formerly known as the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities. The cuts would total $120 million in state funds and $120 million in federal aid, on top of a $71 million cut that was in the budget released in January.
The money saved by the cuts would be used to repay the federal government for years of overpayments for New York state Medicaid program services that were never delivered. The money instead was siphoned off to the state's General Fund to help balance the budget.
Abinanti said Cuomo's budget "puts the bulk of the burden to repay the federal government, the monies we were overpaid, on OPWDD. The people that are getting the benefit today are not the people who got the benefit of that extra money."

With his disarmingly simple style and complex imagination, Ray Bradbury has seized the minds of American readers for decades.This collection showcases thirty-two of Bradbury's most famous tales in which he lays bare the depths of the human soul. The thrilling title story, A Sound of Thunder, tells of a hunter sent on safari -- sixty million years in the past. But all it takes is one wrong step in the prehistoric jungle to stamp out the life of a delicate and harmless butterfly -- and possibly something else much closer to home ...
In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2011 at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. He wrote the screen play for John Huston´s classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television´s The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

Lubrication Science is devoted to high-quality research which notably advances fundamental and applied aspects of the science and technology related to lubrication. It publishes research articles, short communications and reviews which demonstrate novelty and cutting edge science in the field, aiming to become a key specialised venue for communicating advances in lubrication research and development.
Lubrication is a diverse discipline ranging from lubrication concepts in industrial and automotive engineering, solid-state and gas lubrication, micro & nanolubrication phenomena, to lubrication in biological systems. To investigate these areas the scope of the journal encourages fundamental and application-based studies on:
- Synthesis, chemistry and the broader development of high-performing and environmentally adapted lubricants and additives.
- State of the art analytical tools and characterisation of lubricants, lubricated surfaces and interfaces.
- Solid lubricants, self-lubricating coatings and composites, lubricating nanoparticles.
- Gas lubrication.
- Extreme-conditions lubrication.
- Green-lubrication technology and lubricants.
- Tribochemistry and tribocorrosion of environment- and lubricant-interface interactions.
- Modelling of lubrication mechanisms and interface phenomena on different scales: from atomic and molecular to mezzo and structural.
- Modelling hydrodynamic and thin film lubrication.
- All lubrication related aspects of nanotribology.
- Surface-lubricant interface interactions and phenomena: wetting, adhesion and adsorption.
- Bio-lubrication, bio-lubricants and lubricated biological systems.
- Other novel and cutting-edge aspects of lubrication in all lubrication regimes.
Every paper must clearly define the novelty of the work and provide contemporary references alongside an explanation of the scientific or technological need for the results.
Experimental studies should focus on the understanding and exploration of new insights in lubrication phenomena, based on the detailed characterization of lubricants, materials and interfaces, and with relevant evidence of lubrication functionality. Complete and comprehensive information on testing equipment and parameters should be provided. Theoretical studies should report a new understanding of lubrication processes and lubrication performance including well-defined advantages of the models used, as well as their limitations.
Manuscripts must be written to a good standard of English, for which an editing service is available (http://wileyeditingservices.com/en/).

Harvard is 10-4 this season when Christine Clark scores at least 15 points and is 7-1 when Victoria Lippert reaches the same benchmark. By comparison, Harvard is 3-2 when Clark does not score 15 points and is 6-5 in games Lippert does not score 15.
Scoring in Bunches
Christine Clark has a penchant for quick scoring outbursts and boasts 11 stretches this season in which she has scored at least six points in 2:20 or less. These outbursts have included just three three-pointers and have all come in games when Clark has scored at least 15 points.
And the Award Goes To...
Harvard has picked up 14 of the Ivy League's 28 weekly awards handed out this season and won at least one award in each of the first 11 weeks it competed. The all-time record for most weekly awards won in a single season belongs to the 2009-10 Princeton squad which took home a total of 15 honors. Harvard's 14 awards this season is a new program high, surpassing the previous mark of 13 set during the 1994-95 and 2008-09 campaings.

Fagbenle's seven honors also ties her with Hana Peljto '04 for second most in Crimson history, behind only the nine awards taken home by Allison Feater '98 in 1995.
Fagbenle has won a total of nine weekly awards from the Ancient Eight on the season after having also been named player of the week twice. She is the first student-athlete to sweep the weekly awards twice in the same season since Penn's Alyssa Baron in 2010-11.
Junior Christine Clark was named the Ivy League Player of the Week on Jan. 14 for the second straight week and the third time this season after scoring a game-high 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting with a team-best seven rebounds against Dartmouth. Clark now boasts six career player of the week honors, tying her with former Crimson Tammy Butler '95 and Emma Markley '11 for 10th place on the Ivy League's all-time player of the week list.
Dating back to last season, the Crimson is 20-2 when holding opponents to less than 60 points and 29-6 when allowing fewer than 70 points.
Defending Home Court
The Crimson is 6-0 at home in 2012-13 and has won nine straight home games dating back to last year. Harvard boasts a 59-17 record in Lavietes since 2006-07 and went a near-perfect 12-1 during the 2009-10 campaign which included 11 straight victories at home to begin the year.
Road Tripping
Harvard is 7-4 in true road games this season and 7-6 overall when playing outside Lavietes Pavilion. Last year the Crimson posted a 9-7 record away from home, marking the program's first winning road record since 2008-09.
Comeback Kids
Harvard has won three games this season when trailing at the half. The Crimson most recently overcame a 35-33 halftime deficit to earn a 68-58 win at Brown.
The Crimson owns a 2-1 record in overtime games this season. Harvard did not play a single overtime game in 2011-12 and has not played multiple overtime games in the same season since 2009-10. The Crimson is 12-6 in overtime under head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith and is 13-6 all-time in overtime.
20 or Bust
Christine Clark scored 20-plus points in three straight games from Jan. 6 - 26, averaging 21.3 ppg during this stretch. Victoria Lippert was the last Crimson to accomplish the feat, averaging 24.0 ppg over four games in February of 2010.
Block Party
Senior Miriam Rutzen, who currently ranks fifth in program history with 89 career blocks, has recorded at least one blocked shot in 14 of the 17 games she has played and has registered multiple blocks eight times. For her career, Rutzen has 21 multi-block performances.
It's Up, and It's Good
Harvard has made at least one three-point field goal in 117 consecutive games dating back to 2008-09, the second longest streak in program history. The record for consecutive games with at least one three-pointer stands at 172, a streak which began during the 1989-90 season and concluded in 1996-97.
Sharp Shooting
Harvard enters the weekend ranked second in the Ivy League in field-goal percentage (44.2) and first three-point percentage (37.1), and ranks 20th in the NCAA in field-goal percentage and 14th in three-point percentage. Harvard last led the league in both categories in 2008-09 when it connected on 43.8 percent of its attempts from the floor and 33.8 percent of its attempts from deep.
At The Line
Christine Clark opened the year going 28-of-28 at the line and had a streak of 30 consecutive makes at the charity stripe dating back to last season, surpassing her previous career best of 29 straight successful free-throw attempts. Victoria Lippert, meanwhile, is 41-of-45 at the line this season and has made 57 or her last 61 attempts.
Harvard is shooting an Ivy League-best 73.6 percent at the line and entered the weekend ranked 46th in the NCAA.
Lighting Up The Scoreboard
The Crimson has scored at least 80 points thiree times this season and is averaging 68.6 ppg. Harvard scored more than 80 points just twice in 2011-12 after turning in seven 80-plus point performances in 2010-11.
Club 1,000
Junior Christine Clark became the 18th member of Harvard's 1,000 point club on Jan. 2 as she scored 19 points against UMass. Clark reached the milestone in just her 71st career game, making her the fastest Crimson to reach 1,000 points since Reka Cserny '05 did so in her 60th career appearance. She now ranks 15th in program history with 1,112 points.
Senior Victoria Lippert eclipsed the 1,000-point plateau last year and is currently in seventh place in program history with 1,345 points.
Including this year, Harvard has had at least one 1,000 point scorer on the floor in four of the last five seasons. Additionally, each of Harvard's 18 1,000 point scorers has been coached by head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith.
What a Start
Harvard's 7-3 record to start the season ranks as the second-best record through 10 games in program history. The Crimson has gone 8-2 three times, most recently in 1997-98 en route to a 23-5 overall record and an Ivy League title. Both the 1976-77 and 1987-88 squads went 8-2 to begin the year with the 1987-88 team also capturing an Ancient Eight crown.
Lights-Out Lippert
Senior Victoria Lippert was named the Ivy League Player of the Week on Dec. 3 for the second time this season after averaging 21.0 ppg and 5.5 rpg in a 2-0 week for the Crimson. Lippert tallied 21 points, including 17 in the second half, to lead Harvard past New Hampshire on Wednesday then turned in 21 points at Hofstra on Saturday with seven coming in overtime.
Leader of the Pack
Junior Christine Clark led Harvard in scoring in each of its first six games, becoming the first Crimson student-athlete to do so since Hannah Peltjo '04 led the team in six straight contests to open the 2002-03 campaign. Peltjo went on to average 21.3 ppg for the season, the fourth-highest total in program history, and was named the Ivy League Player of the Year.
Allison Feaster '98 owns the program record for consecutive games led in scoring at 17, 16 of which came to open the 1997-98 campaign. Feaster led the team in scoring in 25 of 26 games that year, averaging an Ancient Eight record 28.5 ppg en route to her third straight Ivy League Player of the Year honor.
You Can Count on Clark
Junior Christine Clark has started all 77 games for the Crimson over the last three years and has scored in double-digits 65 times. This includes a streak of 21 consecutive 10-plus point performances and 11 games in which she has scored more than 20 points.

Frederick Delius
Delius short biography
Frederick Delius was born in Germany. Originally destined to become a part of his family orange growing business, the young Delius was sent to Florida. It was Florida where Delius's enormous musical talent was discovered. Delius's family supported the young composer's study at the Leipzig Conservatory, where Delius met Grieg, who became Delius's friend and a very strong influence for many years. Delius was admired by Sir Thomas Beecham, who introduced Delius's works to the British public. The musical characteristics of Delius's compositions often offer intensive rhapsodic feeling.

Program now second largest in the country to treat patients
John Price and his wife Jean
Three years ago, John Price clutched the handlebars of his bike and attempted to slowly maneuver it up a short hill. His chest was tight, his heart racing and the near constant sense of being out of breath worsened with every step.
An avid runner and cyclist, the now 62-year-old Price had first noticed symptoms about four years earlier when his seven-minute miles began to steadily turn into nine- and 10-minute miles. "And then at one point I couldn't even jog 50 yards without being out of breath," he says. "It finally got to the point where it was so bad that I could barely breathe."
Over the course of the next several months, a barrage of clinical tests to check for cardiac deficiencies all revealed that the Smith Point, New York resident had a healthy heart. Yet his symptoms persisted – and soon worsened. Finally, Price says, a specialist diagnosed him with pulmonary hypertension (PH), a lung disorder in which blood clots line the arteries in the lungs, restricting blood flow and causing blood pressure in the arteries to rise significantly.
The diagnosis, although overwhelming, was a relief, Price says. "It was actually a god-send because they found something wrong because they had been focusing on the heart and luckily they checked the lungs and found the clots," he says.
Price was referred to Massachusetts General Hospital where he learned he was a candidate for pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE), a highly specialized operation to remove these chronic blood clots. Without surgery, patients who have this life-threatening disease will likely develop progressive shortness of breath so severe that it leads to heart failure.
"It's an amazing procedure," says Richard Channick, MD, director of the Mass General Pulmonary Hypertension and Thromboendarterectomy Program. "The patient is placed on a heart lung machine and their body is cooled to less than 18 degrees Celsius. The surgeon then carefully peels the chronic blood clots away from the insides of the vessels. When done by experienced surgeons, the procedure can cure the problem."
The PTE procedure was pioneered in the 1960s by physicians and surgeons at the University of California, San Diego. Three years ago Richard Channick, MD, who had been part of that program for more than 20 years, came to Mass General to become director of Mass General's growing Pulmonary Hypertension and Thromboendarterectomy Program. Since Channick's arrival – in close collaboration with thoracic surgeon Cameron Wright, MD, and cardiac surgeons Gus Vlahakes, MD, and Thoralf Sundt, MD – the Mass General program now has established itself as a national referral center and has become the second largest program in the country. Mass General recently completed its 50th PTE and now performs about one of these specialized procedures every week.
Despite the intensity of the surgery, recovery is typically relatively short. Most patients stay in the hospital for only five to seven days before returning home to their new and improved life. "The shortness of breath is relieved almost immediately," Channick says. "And our patients say that they feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of their chest. It's really, really satisfying to see the patients return home to a much better quality of life. Many of these patients would have died if we didn't offer this resource."
A year and a half after his surgery, Price is thankful to be feeling better and for the ability to be back to enjoying his active lifestyle. He recently took a four day, 120-mile cycling trip through Glacier National Park in Montana. "I kind of jumped at the chance to do the surgery," Price says. "It was something that I didn't take lightly because the surgery itself is pretty serious – but I don't know where I'd be today if I didn't have the operation. The doctors were incredible – really miracle workers. I was going downhill pretty quickly. But now when I'm on my bike, I'm pedaling up those hills."
"Until the day I meet my maker, I will always thank them for giving me the quality of life that I wouldn't have had," Price adds. "I still have living left to do."
The Pulmonary Hypertension and Thromboendarterectomy Program at Massachusetts General Hospital is committed to the state-of-the-art evaluation, treatment and support of patients with all forms of pulmonary hypertension. For more information, call 617-724-3705.

Bolstered by growth in its Eagle Ford shale operations, Carrizo Oil & Gas, a Houston-based exploration and production firm, boosted Monday its projections for how much crude it expects to produce this year and how much money it will spend on drilling.
CEO Chip Johnson said the company is aggressively pursuing more opportunities to expand its acreage in south Texas and it is planning to start drilling its first well in the Utica shale in Ohio next month.
"We have land men in the courthouses trying to find every expiring lease," Johnson said in an interview.
North Sea: Carrizo Oil & Gas selling UK subsidiary, North Sea field for $184M
Except for a small presence in the United Kingdom portion of the North Sea, where Carrizo helps other companies find drilling prospects, Carrizo is content being known for its on-shore operations, Johnson said, adding that there is no current plan to venture more into offshore opportunities. He wouldn't discuss whether the company might pursue an acquisition, or be open to being acquired by another company, to grow the business.
"Right now we have a 10-year drilling inventory at our current drilling pace," Johnson said. "We are in pretty good shape."
The company said it expects second-quarter oil production of 10,800 barrels per day to 11,200 barrels per day, up from earlier guidance of 9,600 barrels per day to 10,000 barrels per day.
For the year, Carrizo now is targeting total production growth of 10 percent, compared to previous expectations of 6 percent. For natural gas and natural gas liquids, Carrizo said it expects production to be near the high end of previous guidance of 90 million cubic feet equivalent per day to 94 million cubic feet equivalent per day.
Carrizo said its results in the Eagle Ford shale in south Texas have exceeded management's expectations, with oil production averaging roughly 9,500 barrels per day through the first two months of the quarter, which ends June 30. Less well downtime than expected is one of the reasons for the good results, the company said.
Texas boom: Eagle Ford oil output rises 77%
Carrizo is involved in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas, mainly in the United States. Besides the Eagle Ford and Utica shales, it has operations in the Niobrara formation in Colorado, the Barnett shale in North Texas, and the Marcellus shale in Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia.
The company said it will spend $530 million to $540 million this year on drilling and completion capital expenses, up from earlier guidance of $500 million. The revised plan is based on three operated rigs in the Eagle Ford Shale, two in the Niobrara, and one in the Marcellus.
Johnson said Carrizo is always looking for more acreage, but it can be tough because of competition. He said looking for open acreage is a "very significant part of our land work."

Fire erupts at Wasatch Brew Pub
A fire erupted at the Wasatch Brew Pub Friday morning, causing a section of a deck to collapse before firefighters could extinguish the blaze.
Emergency responders received a 911 call at 6:12 a.m. from someone who lives nearby reporting fire and smoke in the area of the south deck of the Brew Pub, 250 Main St. Phil Kirk, a Park City Police Department captain, said there were "pretty good flames coming up" when the responders arrived.
Bob Zanetti, the assistant chief at the Park City Fire District, said eight-foot flames were visible extending from the south side of the second floor of the building when firefighters arrived. It had spread into the second-floor interior, Zanetti said.
He said the fire on the deck burned through the flooring, collapsing an approximately 225-square-foot section of the deck. It fell into the interior below, he said. There is "significant damage in there," Zanetti said.
Zanetti said it took firefighters approximately 40 minutes to put out the visible flames and then extinguish the rest of the fire. Twenty-four firefighters responded and four engines were sent to the scene.
Nobody was inside when the fire started.
One of the fire engines was parked in the Brew Pub parking lot on the south side of the building. Its ladder had been extended above the back of the building. Another ladder was also propped up nearby on the south side. There were emergency vehicles on the Main Street and Swede Alley sides of the building as well. Furniture could be seen from street level strewn throughout part of the deck.
A small crowd of onlookers stood nearby in a cold rain to watch the firefighters operate. The Police Department closed the upper section of Main Street to traffic. The Park City Building Department, which investigates structure fires, was at the scene. A cause had not been determined by the middle of Friday morning.
Greg Schirf, the owner of the Wasatch Brew Pub, said he arrived at the scene at 6:30 a.m., after the flames had been put down. He said the preliminary investigation points to rags being used by workers resurfacing floors spontaneously combusting in a men's bathroom. Schirf said crews had been resurfacing floors inside the building. He said he expected "tens of thousands of dollars" in damage from the fire.
"It was not a great moment, but we'll survive," Schirf said.
He said he hoped to reopen the Wasatch Brew Pub by early next week.

The privately owned Algerian media, born in the blood of murdered journalists and raised in an era of Islamic violence, now finds it must survive the difficulties of the 21st century market-place. After Algeria became a multi-party nation in 1989, the state's media monopoly broke down and journalist collectives began to create the first independent newspapers, El Khabar editor Ali Djerri explained.
The journalists used money from their severance packages when leaving such public media outlets as El Moudjahid, the newspaper of the national liberation Front (FLN) that exclusively ruled Algeria from its independence in 1962 until the nation became pluralistic.
"The private press is a great achievement for freedom in Algeria," Djerri said. And being financially independent is key. Now those same journalists recognize that financial pressures can pose as much of a threat to a newspaper as political pressures.
"Our freedom of expression and judgment is one of the only achievements of the last few years. We must not let it go," said one journalist from Le Matin, criticizing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Bouteflika never misses an opportunity to bash the private press. "Our capital is held exclusively by journalists who still act as journalists," said Nacer Belhadjoudja, one of five founders of the independent newspaper Doyen.
El Khabar and El Watan recently bought their own rotary press together in order not to use the state's press, which prints all other Algerian publications. "This (state printing) monopoly ensures a lot of pressure," Djerri said.
Not all the Algerian private press is independent. The industrial company Rebrab controls the newspaper Liberte with 142,000 circulation. The newspaper is, however, liberal and its cartoons lampoon generals and others in power.
The Algerian private press bought its freedom with blood. Between 1993 and 1998, 70 journalists were murdered IN an attempt to stifle criticism. "The price we paid was high, in particular between 1992 and 1998. We ask ourselves how we managed to persist despite the assassinations (and) pressure from authorities," said Omar Belhouchet, editor or the francophone El Watan.
His newspaper recently celebrated its tenth birthday, as did Soir d'Algerie and the Arabic El Khabar, which has the highest circulation at 400,000. The three newspapers are housed in the Tahar Djaout press building, named for the first of the 70 murdered journalist, in Algiers.
These newspapers opened the path for an established private press in Algiers, which now counts at least 30 titles, two thirds of them francophone, with a total circulation of 1.2 million. "We faced enormous difficulties, pressure in all forms. They tried to smother us by restricting advertisements of state companies. We held on," Djerri said. — (AFP, Algiers)

There will be a time soon when smartphones won't come with minutes but data only. At least that is what AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson thinks.
The carrier that first got the iPhone, the phone that changed data plans forever, believes that carriers are going to be forced to further adapt to advances that smartphones are making.
Stephenson was speaking at an investor conference this week when he said in the next two years he can foresee a time when people are only in the market for data plans.
With more and more consumers using their iPhones or Android-powered devices as pocket computers instead of phones, the demand will only grow for data only plans.
Also apps, such as Skype and Talkatone have made it easier for consumers to make phones calls using data instead of their traditional cellular minutes.

Mercedes-Benz Cla Coupe CLASSY COMPACT (73/100)
The four-door coupe-like CLA model has injected an extra dose of style into Mercedes' compact car model line-up. Jonathan Crouch reports on the revised version.
Ten Second Review
The CLA has proved to be a rather different kind of Mercedes. It's compact and coupe-like, yet has four doors and a large boot. And it'll set the neighbours talking far more than if you simply bought yet another small German-badged executive saloon. It's a model to challenge your preconceptions, that's for sure. Now both four-door and 'Shooting Brake' estate variants have been lightly facelifted and made more efficient.
Never underestimate the power of emotional appeal. It's brought us cars like this one, the Mercedes CLA, a stylish range of compact saloon and estate models that have brought a fashionable feel to the Stuttgart brand's growing family of smaller cars. To fully understand this design, now improved with a package of facelift updates, you need to be familiar with the so-called 'four-door coupe' concept, pioneered by Mercedes back in 2004 with their CLS-Class model, the first example of this kind of car and a trendier alternative to their similarly-sized but much more conventional E-Class saloon. The CLS was a huge success - to the point where it seemed only a matter of time before this prestigious German brand extended the concept to offer the same kind of car as an alternative to its smaller, more affordable C-Class saloon. In the Spring of 2013, Mercedes did just that, first launching the CLA in four-door form and following that up a year later with the introduction of a 'Shooting Brake' estate version. Want a CLA? Then you'll be someone who likes the idea of buying a sporty, prestigiously-badged compact model but wants to make a bit more of a statement about doing it.
Driving Experience
Mercedes markets this car as a 'sporty' alternative to its more conventional C-Class range. The CLA's sporty styling leads you to expect that. Though this car shares its chassis, steering and braking architecture with A and B-Class models, it does get its own suspension set-up, with various changes made to improve comfort and make it a bit less crashy over poorer surfaces. There's torque vectoring to help with the handling and 'Direct Steering' to sharpen things up at the helm (though it's still vaguer than we would like). At the top of the range is a fire-breathing CLA 45 AMG model with an uprated 381bhp turbo petrol 2.0-litre engine and a four-wheel drive layout - quite a car. More conventional CLA models are powered by engines borrowed from A and B-Class models. Diesel drivers get a 1.5-litre engine used with either 109 or 136bhp in the CLA 180d or CLA 200d variants. We tried the 2.1-litre 177bhp diesel unit offered in the CLA 220d. Petrol people get a 1.6-litre turbo unit offered in 122 or 156bhp guises in the CLA 180 and CLA 200 variants - or there's a 2.0-litre 184bhp powerplant in the CLA 220 4MATIC 4WD model that only comes with 7-speed 7G-DCT automatic transmission. This same 2.0-litre unit comes in a 211bhp state of tune in the CLA 250 variant that can also be ordered with 4WD.
Design and Build
By any measure, this is a handsome car. Purposeful, with sporting proportions and a potent bonnet powerdome. Hi-tech too, with jewel-like LED daytime running lamps fashioned to create a flare effect around the smarter black-trimmed diamond-shaped grille that now sits below restyled bumpers on this revised model. It's not just about aesthetics either. The super-sleek drag factor of just 0.23Cd makes this not only the most aerodynamic Mercedes model to date but also one of the most aerodynamic production vehicles in the world. The cabin's virtually identical to that of an A-Class - which these days is a very good thing indeed. So you get the same deeply-cowled twin-dial instrument binnacle viewed through a lovely, grippy nappa leather-trimmed three-spoke multi-function steering wheel. There are the same five chrome-trimmed SLS supercar-style air vents decorating the dash. And you get the same iPad-style 5.8-inch free-standing infotainment screen stuck in the middle of it, this one now slimmer, with a smarter cover. The display is controlled by a little rotary dial positioned where the handbrake would normally be if it hadn't been replaced by one of those fiddly electronic ones with a switch hidden away beneath the dash. This revised model gets some upgraded trimming materials As for back seat accommodation, well any car that describes itself as a 'four-door coupe' clearly isn't going to have this as a top priority and it is a bit cramped. Ultimately though, I don't think this'll be a deal-breaker for many buyers. Particularly as boot room is so spacious. There's quite a high lip to lump your packages over, but once you do, there's a generous 470-litres on offer and a standard split-folding rear bench. If that's not enough, talk to your dealer about the CLA-Class Shooting Brake estate.
Market and Model
Let's start with the facts. Expect to pay somewhere in the £25,000 to £30,000 bracket for mainstream petrol and diesel versions of this CLA-Class. We're going to focus here on the two models that will account for the majority of sales, the manual-only 122bhp CLA 180 petrol variant and the automatic-only 177bhp CLA 220d diesel. There's a £5,000 premium to go from one to the other. In each case, there's a choice of two different trim levels, entry-level 'Sport' and, for another £2,200, 'AMG Sport'. Talking of AMG, that only leaves the flagship CLA 45 AMG sports saloon variant - a different proposition entirely, priced towards the £45,000 mark. As for equipment, well even on base Sport models, the standard kit tally includes 18" alloy wheels, auto headlamps, heated power mirrors, air conditioning, a nappa leather-trimmed multi-function steering wheel, sports seats, a trip computer, Hill-Start Assist on manual models to stop you drifting backwards on uphill junctions and a decent quality six-speaker audio system with a 5.8-inch tablet-style display screen, aux-in and USB points and Bluetooth compatibility for your 'phone. There's even an Active Park Assist system that will identify potential spaces then, if you want, automatically steer the car into them.
Cost of Ownership
You'd expect one of the world's most aerodynamic production cars to deliver an ultra-competitive set of running costs, especially given that all the engines on offer feature direct injection and turbocharging, plus an ECO start/stop system that cuts the engine when you don't need it, stuck in traffic or waiting at the lights. Further efficiency measures include an economy setting for the automatic gearbox, intelligent management of engine ancillaries like the alternator, the oil feed and the water pump, a display to encourage more economical driving, low rolling resistance tyres, an adjustable radiator shutter and a CAMTRONIC load management system for the petrol 1.6 that reduces throttling loses under partial load, this alone improving fuel consumption by up to 10%. As a result, the efficiency champion variant, the CLA 180d, puts out only 89g/km of CO2. Meanwhile, the entry-level manual gearbox CLA 180 can manage 56.5mpg on the combined fuel cycle with emissions of 117g/km. As for the CLA 220d model, well providing you use the 'Economy' mode on the 7G-DCT seven-speed auto gearbox, you should get somewhere close to Mercedes' quoted figures - 70.6mpg on the combined cycle and as little as 104g/km. What else? Well, both C180 and C220d variants post a BIK company car taxation rate of just 18%. And residuals will be strong, providing you don't go mad on the options list. Insurance groupings for the mainstream models start at 18 for the CLA 180.
If you're in the market for a compact, prestigiously-badged saloon or estate and like the look of this one, then nothing I'm going to say here is likely to dissuade you away from CLA motoring. Unlike Mercedes, I think this car does have some direct rivals, but I'd agree that there is quite a lot that's unique about the way it looks. This design has really proved to be a breath of fresh air in what had become rather a staid market sector. Which is it'll continue to sell as intended - to people who never intended to drive a Mercedes. Younger folk who don't care about the abandonment of the rear wheel drive layout that was once considered conditional for a car of this type. They'll probably care just as little about the rear seat packaging compromises and the rather firm ride. They might not even mind the premium pricing. It's all about emotional appeal you see, as I said at the beginning. Going forward, the CLA has a massive role to play in the Mercedes model range, with huge appeal in growing markets like China. Here, it'll be more of a niche product that importantly, frees up the C-Class to be a bit bigger and more luxurious. The kind of car that'll redefine what this brand stands for in the eyes of many potential buyers. Exactly as it was meant to.

Apple crushed revenue and earnings estimates, as expected, and the company's guidance looks strong for its holiday quarter.
But the iPad business posted a huge miss: 4.19 million shipments versus the Street's consensus at 4.7 million and many estimates above 5 million.
On the earnings call, Apple hinted that this was at least in part a supply issue, noting that supply and demand weren't balanced until September, the last month of the quarter.
Steve Jobs stole the show on the call, trashing competitors like RIM and Google, and suggesting that the iPad and iPhone will win against rivals because they are better products at great prices. Jobs also said the company is holding onto its cash -- more than $50 billion now -- mostly in case a big strategic opportunity comes along.
On the plus side, Apple's iPhone business posted huge numbers despite the "Antennagate" hoopla -- Apple moved 14.1 million phones last quarter, and boasted in its press release that this beat RIM's most recent quarter, when it shipped 12.1 million BlackBerry devices. (Though their fiscal quarters only overlapped by two of the three months.)
Steve Jobs also announced that Apple has already sold more than 250,000 of the new Apple TV device.
Key Stats:
- Sept. qtr. revenue: $20.34 billion vs. $18.9 billion consensus, $19.9 billion high Street estimate, $19.6 billion "real" expectations
- Sept. qtr. EPS: $4.64 vs. $4.06 consensus, $4.41 high Street estimate, $4.85 "real" expectations
- Sept. qtr. iPad shipments: 4.19 million vs. 4.7 million consensus (via Piper Jaffray), 5+ million would impress
- Sept. qtr. iPhone shipments: 14.1 million vs. 11 million consensus (via Piper Jaffray), 13+ million would impress
- Sept. qtr. Mac shipments: 3.89 million vs. 3.7 million consensus (via Piper Jaffray), 4+ million would impress
- Sept. qtr iPod shipments: 9.05 million vs. 10 million consensus (via Piper Jaffray)
- Dec. qtr. revenue: $23 billion vs. $22.22 billion consensus, $23+ billion guidance would look very strong
- Dec. qtr. EPS: $4.80 vs. $5.04 consensus, $4.50+ guidance would look strong
LIVE Conference call notes follow. Remarks are paraphrased unless in quotations. (Click here to refresh for the latest.)
4:57 Waiting for call to begin.
5:02 Still holding, listening to soothing music.
5:03 Call begins. Now Apple giving typical disclaimers.
5:04 CFO Oppenheimer gives intro. We're extremely pleased! Product lineup best ever. New all-time records for Mac, iPhone, and iPad sales. Highest quarterly revenue and earnings in Apple's history. Revenue up $8 billion y/y, with 67% y/y growth. (Wow! That's crazy impressive, when you think about it.)
5:06 Strong iMac sales, MacBook Pro and MacBook sales.
5:06 9.05 million iPods, down from 10.18 million a year ago. iPod share of US market at over 70% based on NPD data. iPod gaining share internationally.
5:07 New Apple TV introduced. No comment on sales.
5:07 Very pleased with iPhone sales, 91% y/y growth, higher than 64% y/y growth of smartphone market. $8.6 billion iPhone sales, $610 ASP. Experience very strong growth in Asia, Europe, and Japan, where iPhone sales more than double year-over-year.
5:09 Since shipped iPhone 4, more than 80% of Fortune 500 deploying or piloting iPhone, up from 60%. P&G, GE, Pfizer, Total, Novartis, etc. have made iPhone available to employees. Increase of 825,000 iPhones to channel inventory. Big backlog, think could have sold more.
5:10 Almost 4.2 million iPads. Seeing great enthusiasm from consumers, edu, enterprise. Over 65% of Fortune 100 already deploying or piloting iPad. Lowes, P&G, NBC Universal, and Novartis among them.
5:11 Cumulative iOS sales of 125 million devices last quarter, including iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
5:11 iOS 4.2 still scheduled for November.
5:12 Marketers "very pleased" with engagement on iAds.
5:12 $3.57 billion in revenue for Apple retail. Stores sold 874,000 Macs, vs. 674k year-ago. About half of Macs were to customers new to Mac. Opened 24 stores, 16 of which were outside the US.
5:14 36.9% total gross margin, above guidance. Includes better than planned mix of iPhone sales.
5:15 Cash plus s/t and l/t totaled $51 billion at end of quarter, an increase of $5.2 billion.
5:16 40 million iPhones in fiscal year. Grew fiscal year revenue of 50%+, up to $65 billion. Generated almost 5X revenue and 10X profit than it did 5 years earlier in fiscal 2005.
5:18 Steve Jobs joins the call! Notes he doesn't usually participate. But I just couldn't help dropping by for our first $20 billion quarter. Sticking around through the Q&A.
5:19 Bragging about the iPhone. "We've now passed RIM, and I don't see them catching up with us." They must now leave their comfort zone, and will be a challenge for them to get developers to embrace their platform. What about Google? Activating 200,000 Android devices per day, and 90,000 apps in App store. Apple activated about 275,000 iOS devices per day over past 30 days, with peak around 300,0000 on some of those days. With 300,000 apps on App Store. No solid data for Android phone shipments. Google loves to characterize Android as open, and iOS and iPhone as closed. We find this a bit disingenuous. First thing most of us think as open is Windows. Unlike Windows, where most PCs have same UI and run the same apps, Android is fragmented. Many Android OEMs install proprietary UIs.
5:21 TwitterDeck [sic] contends that it has to deal with over 100 versions of Android, and over 200 handsets. Makes this much more complicated. And this is for handsets that have been shipped less than 12 months ago. Compare this with iPhone, with 2 versions to test against. Amazon, Verizon, and Vodafone have all created their own app stores. "This is going to be a mess for both users and developers."
5:23 Open doesn't always win. Look at PlaysForSure Microsoft music system. Even Microsoft dumped this in favor of Apple's approach, screwing OEMs. And Google's integrated Nexus One flopped. Open versus closed is a smokescreen. What matters more is what's best for the customers. Users want devices to "just work" and believe integrated will trump fragmented every time.
5:24 I'd like to comment on avalanche of tablets poised to enter the market. It appears to be just a handful of credible entrants, not an avalanche. Nearly all use 7-inch screen. One thinks this would offer 70% of benefits of 10-inch screen. But it's only 45% as large as the iPhone's 10-inch screen. If you cut iPad screen in half, that's what you're looking at. Not enough for good tablet apps. You'd also need to include sandpaper so people could make their fingers smaller. We think 10-inch screen size is minimum to create great tablet apps.
5:27 Even Google is telling tablet companies to wait for new release of Android next year. What does it mean when software supplier says not to use software for tablets, and you ignore them and use it anyway? New tablets won't have any apps. And competitors having a hard time coming close to pricing, even with cheaper, smaller screens. These new tablets will be DOA: Dead on arrival. "Sounds like lots of fun ahead."
5:29 Q&A begins: Supply constraints on iPad? Got into a balanced situation in September with limited number of distribution points. Exited quarter in supply position to expand distribution.
5:30 Headwinds in gross margins: Margins came down about half of what they thought they would. Did a bit better in the quarter because commodity and other costs were better than thought, and sold more iPhones than thought they would.
5:32 Future of iPad? Jobs: The iPad is clearly going to affect notebook computers. I think the iPad proves it's not a question of if, it's a question of when. I think there's a lot of development and progress. Tremendous interest in education, and much to my surprise, in business. Being "grabbed out of our hands". Boards of directors shipping iPads around, nurses and doctors in hospitals, other large and small businesses. We've got a tiger by the tail here. This is a new model of computing, we've already got tens of millions of people trained on with the iPhone.
5:34 Update to thoughts on Flash? Jobs cracks a joke! Flash memory? WE LOVE flash memory.
5:36 Competition... think Apple will sustain share growth in tablets? Jobs: I have a hard time envisioning what [competitive] strategies are. So far, tablets with far less functionality are having a hard time matching us in price. Flash hasn't been a big problem; most of video on web available in HTML5 (is this true?). We think we have a very good product here that's going to be hard to match. We've priced iPad pretty aggressively. "We're out to win this one."
5:38 Jobs: Room for a few winners in smartphone war, but fewer. Right now a battle for mindframe of customers and developers, and right now iPhone and Android are winning that battle.
5:40 Jobs on Apple TV: We have gone to a streaming model. It's complete streaming. All the content is rented from the iTunes, or is streamed from your computer or soon to be streamed from your iPhone or iPad with AirPlay. So how is doing? Can report that in just a very short amount of time, already sold 250,000 Apple TVs.
5:42 Revenue deferral of just over $100 million for the bumper program. Would expect record that in revenue in the December quarter. Did ship a number of bumpers in December quarter, which affected margins.
5:43 What are key risks in managing company to make sure you don't lose lead to Android? Jobs: Our goal is to make the best devices in the world. It's not to be the biggest. As you know, Nokia is the biggest. Admire how many handsets they sell, but we don't want to be like them. We want to be us. In our side of the market, Android is our big rival. Android outshipped in June, waiting to find out this quarter. Gartner numbers pretty accurate. Will be competing with them for quite some time, we have different approaches and we believe in ours. We're going to pursue ours and we think that's the winning approach in the end.
5:46 Aspirations for iPad and iPhone? Market share or profit? Volume players and market leaders? Or simply to make good products, but maybe smaller share? First of all, Nokia makes $50 handsets, and we don't think we can make great smartphones for $50. Our goal is to make really breakthrough, great products. Make the best products in really every industry we compete in, to drive cost down while making better products all the time. It was relentless improvement at sometimes a better price that helped beat competition. We have low market share in phones, and very high in tablets. But we don't think about it that way. The reason we wouldn't make a 7-inch tablet isn't because we wouldn't want to hit a price point; we think it's too small for the software. We think about the software strategies first, as a "software-driven company."
5:49 We're all about making the best products at aggressive prices. That's what we did with the iPod, and that's what we'll do with the iPad.
5:50 Jobs to analyst: You're looking at it wrong! Jobs getting into the weeds about how devs don't want to write crappy versions of their app for crappy devices.
5:52 What is aspiration for $50 billion in cash, why not return more to shareholders? We strongly believe that one or more strategic opportunities may come along. Very disciplined with use of cash, don't do stupid acquisitions. We'd like to continue to keep our powder dry, we feel one or more strategic opportunities in the future. That's the biggest reason.
5:53 Tim Cook on iPad: About 2/3 of Fortune 100 are deploying or piloting iPad. I've never seen an adoption like this in my life in enterprise; enterprise is usually much slower. Also beginning to pick up interest in K-12, which is historically a slow market. Enabling carriers to sell. This isn't a hobby or something we're doing lightly. Mac is getting pulled into enterprise where people are given choice.
5:57 Oppenheimer: Always working aggressively to lower costs. Happy with GM in Sept quarter, ahead of what we thought. See them being down just slightly in December quarter.
5:58 Demand for carriers for iPhone 4? The pressure is on supply, not demand, says Tim Cook. 166 relationships at end of quarter in about 89 countries, significant expansion. Went to multiple carriers in more countries. Latest country is Germany, launching both Vodafone and O2 together with T-Mobile later this month.
6:00 ASPs have generally stayed above $600 despite changing many markets from exclusive market to non-exclusive market.
6:00 Why does iPad have pricing advantage versus PC companies? Jobs says because Apple makes so much of it, and have learned a lot. This is a product we've been building for for the last decade.
6:01 Call over.
