Participants: EAST: Jon, David K, Nadine, David C, Nati, Francis, Aaron, Shneuer. WEST: Gili, Yael, Tal, Nimrod, Ido
Gili was in the mood for an Ameritrash game. Seeing as it looked like we were going to have good attendance, Gili opted to host the one, long game at her apt. That gave us, for the first time, a JSGC East (my apt) and a JSGC West (Gili's apt).
JSGC WEST
Eldrich Horror
Gili, Yael, Ido, Tal, Nimrod
Gili writes that they only accomplished the first goal but they had fun.. Time ran out.
JSGC EAST
Jon++, David K+
David arrived early to play this with me. I continued my winning streak. I played BRW with some flying and creature control. Not a bad draft. David also played three colors. I'm pretty sure that each of us lost games to bad mana draws, but I think my deck was still a bit more agile than his.
Shneuer+, Aaron
New to both, Shneur was Mr. Jack.
Jon/David, Nati/David C
I taught this to David C and Nati, and we played one hand for practice. David K called and made tichu and then I went out second. Hopefully we can try this again.
David K 43, Nadine 29, Shneuer 29, Francis 21
First play for Shneuer and Francis. Nadine was slightly ahead after the first scoring. Francis had a lot of money (89) by the last round. Nadine and Shneuer were tied, even according to the two suggested tie-breakers.
Jon 39, Nati 29, Aaron 25, David C 20
First play for everyone but me; actually second play for David C, but he had only played the introductory game, without minor improvements and professions (it's much different with them). I explained the rules and the basic strategies, and invited them all to gang up on me, as much as possible.
Some of us had dramatically good professions or minor improvements, but even the less dramatic ones made a lot of difference. For instance, David had what looked like a powerful professions "you can plow whenever anyone else plows", but I got more use out of my profession "+1 clay every time you take either wood or clay". Nati took the burgeoning food spaces often, which is often a sign of poor production, but he he still did pretty well.
In the end, I was the only one with five family members, and I had – by far – the most bonus points in improvements. That was more than enough to make up for my lack of plowed fields and three empty farm spaces.
David K 5/3/2/1/1, Shneuer 3/2/2/1/1, Nadine 3/2/1
Nadine writes: I had really bad luck. I got the Plague of Locusts twice, once right after having played six castors. David traded strategically several times at the end and got what he needed.

A fun day, with 23 people playing at peak time in the afternoon, more people came later after some had left. Mazal tov to Ofer and Michal on their one-week wedding anniversary. Thank you to everyone for recording scores, bringing snacks and games, and moving furniture, and to Gili for some of the pictures.
Binyamin Z 58, Devora 35, Alan 26, Yiscah 24, Michael 19
Roman 36, Ron 25, Assaf 21, Eli 9
Roman taught them. Eli is not a Eurogamer, Ron liked the game and did well for his first play, as did Assaf.
Binyamin Z/Nadine, Devora/Yiscah
Binyamin helped everyone with instructions on how to play optimally. On the last hand, he bid 1NT. I had 13 points, 4 hearts, and AKx of spades and wanted to bid 4 hearts, but he said I should bid my honorless 4-card club suit. We ended up in 4 hearts; he made 7, he had 5 hearts and the queen dropped. So he asked Ben for his opinion on whether he should have gone to small slam, Ben basically said yes. He said he would have bid 4 hearts like I wanted to, unless he was playing with Binyamin, in which case he would know he had to bid the clubs.
Gili 188, Jon 178, Avi 121
Jon: I decided to try this one more time to see if it was as finicky as I recalled or if it was just that my first play was overwhelming. I remain convinced that the game should have been streamlined and a few mechanics taken out. I WAS less overwhelmed, but I don't think I will play it too often.
First play for Avi; he shared my sentiments, and by the time we were halfway through he wanted it to be over. We stuck it out. I thought I was doing OK, managing to build a building every round by the skin of my teeth, which should have given me a tidy sum. Unfortunately, owing to the luck of my first mission draws, I was a single tile shy of competing my last mission, which lost me at least 10 points. Gili finished all of her missions but was one shy of finishing her buildings, she beat me by 10 points, and I'm not sure how she beat me. If I ever play this again, I am going to try building all my tents, just to see what happens.
Binyamin Z 238, Nadine 205, Ofer 151
Jon: I taught this to Ben, Binyamin, and Ofer. Ben got bad luck with his rolls and was thoroughly sick of the game by the end of the first phase; he was perhaps too tired to figure out how all of the buildings worked, and I don't really blame him; the iconography is not terrible, but it's not great. On the other hand, Binyamin really liked the game and scored pretty highly.
I was happy to take over for Ben instead of playing Frank's Zoo. Binyamin had placed the same buildings in the same area, and I let him do it again to finish a section because he had taken the building based on playing that way. I got good yellow tiles – the 3 bonus for colors of tiles sold, and the play the same building in areas, that Binyamin should have had, but it wasn't enough to beat Binyamin's yellow 4 point bonus tiles for 2 buildings, and his first place in several colors.
Gili, Roman, Yonatan, Avi, Noam, and Alan beat the game in this co-op.
Frank's Zoo
Michal 9, Devora 7, Binyamin R 6, Yiscah 4
Yiscah 25, Binyamin R 14, Eszter 14, Devora 13
Eitan 20, Emily 13, Ofer 10, Michal 8
In the last turn Eitan got two series of dancers. Eitan said he exploited a loophole which allows combining extra actions with additional card draws.
Jon 64, Michael 52, Avi 44
Michael had requested the farming game with the apples ahead of time, Jon realized which game he meant.
Jon: I taught this to Avi and refreshed Michael's memory of the game. It was a nice experience for all, as I remember, but in the end my experience gave me the edge. The end scores were pretty close, however.
Eli 25, Efrat and Yossi 17, Eitan 9, Ron 1, Emily 1
At least they all had positive scores. Our house version of Ra with a Biblical theme.
Avi 133, Gili 122, Noam 116
Second play for Avi and Noam.
Jon: David and I drafted and we both ended up playing colors that we weren't expecting. David played BRG and, while he got out a lot of his strength, it didn't seem to be enough. I played BWu, with many fliers and some control cards. In the first game, my fliers took him down. In the second, I started with only one mana. I tossed a creature to get my second, which was luckily the right color for me to cast a spell that let me pay life for 2 more cards. I got out one more, a mana unicorn, and that was enough to get me started until more flowed in. We traded some kills, we both played a few big creatures, and then I took some of his out and he resigned.
Mundus Novus
Devora 95, Ofer 59
Devora +, Haim 41, Guy and Gilad 19
Binyamin R 92, Yosef 91, Eszter 90, Nadine 74
Eszter has the game but hadn't played. Yosef taught us, he had read the rules but never played, so we looked up things as we went, and of course played a few things wrong. The cards were in German but it doesn't matter because it's just the card title, no text otherwise, we had the rules in English, and he taught in Hebrew. The game pieces are beautiful, and it's a nice game. I forgot to do one or two things which led to my having no moves for about half the game, because I was out of tiles and money. Everyone else had tons and couldn't understand it. I forgot to place one guy when I build a castle, which would have given me a few more tiles. I did have bad luck with tile drawing – I had three down, and every time I drew three more, which is limited to once per the three rounds, none were the forests which let you draw more tiles. I also forgot that the point of the purple churches was to get cards, which also would have helped me get more tiles. So the problem seems to have been my playing, and not the game. The theme is well-integrated as you have masquerades to increase your rank, but it resets twice per round.
Yiscah, Shira, Haim
David 15/17, Roman 13/14, Ksenia 11/15
David taught this to Ksenia who we all enjoyed seeing on her visit from Poland. We were going to use the German side, but three regions didn't seem balanced. I left to play 7 Wonders Duel before we started, and after Ksenia and others came.
Devora 15, Yiscah 10, Binyamin Z 4
First play for all of them.
Emily 54, Yonatan 54, Noam 51, Ofer 43,Michal 42, Eitan 37
Yosef 88, Nadine 75
I had wanted to try this. It's more interesting than 7 Wonders, with a similar theme and feeling, but still a lot of luck. When you select cards, it opens up new cards for the other player/s. I made mistakes with this a few times early on, and a few other mistakes. Yosef is experienced so he gave me advice. I thought he'd end up further ahead than he did. There are three ways to win; I was in a good position to win with military, two away, but the cards worked out for him, and he took advantage to block me. He was able to take the last card he needed to win in green, but preferred to keep playing and count points, he said otherwise the points are a waste. Counting points seemed complicated and time consuming, he did it. We played in French, his main language and my first one.
Binyamin R 150, Eszter 128, Nadine 127, Assaf 115
New to the others. Binyamin was competing with me for the lead most of the game, but pulled ahead at the end. He caught on well to what he needed to do. Eszter didn't realize she should pay and get points when placing daughters, but we gave back the 5 she had paid for points with the bonus and back paid for all her placements, which gave her more points and caught her up to near me; she passed me by one at the very end. Assaf only had three helpers, Binyamin had the most.
Avi++, Jon+
Jon: I taught Avi how to play this, and he really liked it. We played three times, he won twice. He asked to play it again several times when I wasn't available.
Jon 134, Binyamin 114, David 11, Ben 110
Jon: I taught this to Ben, David, and Binyamin. David like it and wanted to play again. Ben seemed to like it, too. Binyamin didn't like it, because there is nothing to do when it is not your turn and the other players' turns took too long for him. It's true that there is not much to do on your turn, and not much in the way of player interaction or interfering with other players (other than taking the building he wants), but I think the game is fast enough and interesting enough to be good; I actually really like it.
Even though I had the highest income at the start, I was cash shy for a lot of the game. Binyamin took early greens but he ended up with negative income and no money, which made many of his last turns useless; even lakes couldn't bring him enough cash not to lose them, and he couldn't save money to buy income generating buildings. David also had a lot of cash, from the building that doubles lake income, which he then doubled again (for triple). He made use of his cash finally in the last third of the game hovering near the top of income and reputation until the last round. But it was too late, and he had no bonuses. Ben and I each made two bonuses, and Binyamin made three. On the last move of the game, Ben handed Binyamin his third bonus in order to take around 14 points himself.
Tichu and Where's Tichu?
Avi/Nadine 375, Jon/David 225
We started the day with this. My favorite Tichu partner, and players. When David said maybe the teams aren't fair, Avi said we like playing together, and I said it's worth losing for the times we do manage to beat such good players. First hand I called a Tichu and made it. The others asked me why I called it so early, at least a hand before I played my first card, and I said because I always forget to call it if I wait. On another hand Avi could have gone out first, but wanted to give me a chance to play so we could go out first and second, but neither one of us ended up going out first, he should have just gone out. Jon thought about calling a Tichu but decided not to. One game he did well, but would have done better if he had remembered that he had passed David the Dragon and therefore knew where it was. We stopped when more people came, which I had said at the beginning would be our strategy.
Jon/Ben 735, David/Assaf 565
We couldn't find Tichu among all the games people brought, which were stacked on shelves, couches and tables. Whenever I asked if they had looked somewhere they said yes. I know things slip between my couch pillows, so I looked carefully, and found it with a few others small games behind a back pillow.
Jon: We taught Ben and Assaf how to play. Ben picked it up quickly; Assaf took a bit longer, but they both seemed to enjoy it (it helped Ben's enjoyment that we were winning). Ben was my teammate. David called and made 2 grand tichus, including one on the opening hand. I called and made regular tichu on the second hand. Even when our opponents made tichus, they always seemed to end up with the short end on points, so Ben and I did very well.
Shira 123, Yiscah 121, Devora 109, Haim 98
Shira 112, Ben 105, David 86, Haim 95
David taught this to the others, and then proceeded to do much worse than he usually does. They were all close in the number of people left at the end.

One of the deceptively demanding aspects of this toon-shaded instructional animation was the hand control's LCD screen. Its typeface had to be diligently recreated as a TruType font. The process required a painstakingly manual pixel-by-pixel re-drawing of each character appearing in the messages.

Small business marketers occasionally remorse that they ever went through the trouble of putting up their own agencies. The severa and time consuming duties that they have to undergo to make the commercial enterprise operate easily can once in a while take up a lot time that the enterprise suffers along side the own family or loved ones.
Chris Ducker's virtual business lifestyle weblog is one form of encouragement for these people. His quest is to convert himself from being a digital prisoner of his workplace and work desk to turning into a digital CEO. His solution: rent a person who can take over his desk whilst he controls the agencies online, anywhere he can be.

With the assist of this blog, small commercial enterprise entrepreneurs can actually study the benefits of outsourcing their tedious duties to virtual secretaries, accountants, receptionists and others.

A law being rolled out over the next few years requires California residents to have a boater card, starting now for younger boaters, and increasing in age until 2025 when everybody will need one.
The law went into effect on January 1st, 2018, requiring boaters under the age of 20 to pass an approved boating safety examination, get the card – which does not expire – and carry it. Next January the age will increase to 25, then 35 by 2020, 40 by 2021, 45 by 2022, 50 by 2023, 60 by 2024 and including all people by 2025.
The card will be required by California residents only, regardless of where their watercraft is registered, meaning that the key requirement is based on residency.
According to the state of California, in 2016 more than 800 California recreational vessels were involved in reported accidents, resulting in 50 deaths. More than 266 were injured in severity beyond first aid treatment. Former Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr. signed the mandatory education course into law in 2014.
The western half of the Colorado River is in California and the eastern half is in Arizona, which means that boaters are regularly entering and exiting each state as they travel along the Parker Strip. Law enforcement officers from either state have the authority to enforce mutual laws all the way across the river, but generally, only California law enforcement officers can be expected to enforce the boater card law, and only on the western side of the river.
A provision of the new law says that residents of another state, like Arizona, may operate their vessel on California waterways for "less than 60 days", which would allow Arizona residents to launch their boats on the Parker Strip and travel in and out of the California side of the river as long as their boat was not on that side of the river for longer than 60 days.
Conversely, California residents will be able to use their boat on the Arizona side of the river without a boater card only if they stay on the eastern portion of the river. Practically, this means a boater card will be required, as normal use of the Parker Strip requires being in both states.
For more information on the new law, go to CaliforniaBoaterCard.com. A lifetime card will cost $10.
This is just another tax and a way California residents are getting screwed! AGAIN! Disgusted with this state!
I have an Oregon Boaters card. Does that suffice?
No, there's no reciprocity. But, if you're not a California resident, it doesn't matter (as long as your boating on California waters lasts less than 60 days).
If it's a tax, it isn't a difficult one: it's $10.
Hey California next they will start licensing surf boards ..Haha POS state.
Rosemarie 😝 lol, if they could collect a "stupid tax" they be the richest state in the union. The road tax, the gas tax, the bullet train tax, the bridge/dam tax, the fire tax, the "Boater Card" the "Stupids" will keep allowing them (GOV) to squalor their funds and keep adding these taxes and referendums, cuz $10 not so bad x5 million people where's that money going?? Their MF pockets, well they don't get my $$ no more. 9 years in AZ and lovin it, couldn't keep me stupid.
On our way out too! Not going to be many working folks left in this state..
There is a designated traffic flow pattern for the Colorado River (and all Arizona Waterways). Boating traffic must travel in a Counter-Clockwise rotation. That means going up-river (northbound) closer to the Arizona shore and down-river (southbound) closer to the California shore. Arizona's traffic pattern law ensures that boaters are in compliance with Federal Navigation Rules, which dictate that vessels transiting a narrow river or channel, must stay as close as is practical to the shoreline* located off their starboard (right) side.
*When hazards are present, such as Rock Island or the shallow area north of Marina Village, traffic can venture toward the opposite side, but still must stay as far to the right as water depth allows.
Arizona is now the only state that doesn't require some form of Boater Education to operate a boat or personal watercraft. In every other state, the accident, injury and fatality rate has been drastically lowered for the demographic subject to education requirements (some states only require it for Youths, Personal Watercraft, or other specific groups). Boating Education works in reducing boating casualties every where it is implemented.
Look for a Boating Education requirement for Arizona in the next few years. Currently the Arizona Game and Fish Department offers Boating Safety Courses for no cost or low, nominal fee for supplies and refreshments. The current course is only 8 hours and meets the requirements for all state(s) boating education requirements. Take the course NOW, as open seats will be hard to find when and if Arizona Legislators pass a Boating Education Law.
I personally don't think it goes far enough. I'm still a firm believer that people need to pass a driving test in order to be able to drive a boat. Too many idiots on the water.
Every tax and fee know to man is first created in the Golden State!……That's why we moved to Idaho and never looked back!
It's a smart thing to do. It will also help to offset the new Medicaid recipients.
On the contrary, California cities are still at the top of the list of cities people are moving TO.
Justin Keep You're absolutely right the AZ freedom feels great!
Got to pay for their illegal aliens some how.
Do you need a C B C to boat in Az ??
I hope the require a boat launch and retieval and water skills test.
John Wright – This would dispute what you said….
California resident, 20 and under, gotta have a Boater Card…got it.
Is the section of the river in front of Bluewater Casino still 5 mph wakeless speed or did that rule go away with the elimination of the wakeless speed buoy?
A lot of speeding boats and watercraft down there mixing with slow moving or drifting boats and swimmers…very dangerous.
In answer to Dennis, the area is still a No Wake Zone. I was down there this week, and the buoys were there. Inconsiderate idiots cut the buoys loose, run into them, or otherwise damage them. It's up to CRIT to replace them when that happens. The No Wake area is to protect the marshland on the California side. The area is a nesting location for the Yuma Clapper Rail, an endangered bird. They build their nests in the marsh on the top of the water. If the nest is overly disturbed, the birds will abandon it, regardless of the status/age of their young. Eggs, hatch-lings, juvenile birds would be abandoned and die. While occasional wakes and disturbances can be tolerated, constant disturbance cannot. That's why occasional races and other events are allowed, through permits by the Coast Guard, with the OK from US Fish and Wildlife, CRIT Fish and Game, AZ Game and Fish, and other entities.
Thank you Alan, the entire situation makes more sense now.
I haven't been out on the water for a few weeks. Good to hear the No Wake buoys are back, it was getting pretty dangerous down there.


Manufactured by ResMed, the AirSense device is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine used to treat sleep apnea. The CPAP, a device with a mask worn during sleep, is very (99 percent) effective at maintaining airflow and reducing or eliminating the interrupted breathing that is caused by sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is associated with a number of cardiovascular problems, including high blood pressure, stroke, atrial fibrillation, and congestive heart failure. OSA is also linked to Type 2 diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
There are a few pros to the ResMed CPAP Machine to consider. It is extremely quiet, hardly making any noise with a proper mask seal. The same filters, standard tubing, and masks can be used as were used with other ResMed devices. The heated tubing differs in design and is not interchangeable. It comes with a nice, quality bag for travel with convenient pockets and compartments.
This bag may be slightly small if you use a large full-face mask. There is an option to turn on supply reminders that appear on the display to keep you on schedule for equipment replacement. There is an automatic ramp function that is able to detect the regularity of breathing and turns itself up once it notes a transition toward a sleep-assocated pattern.
The biggest challenge to ResMed's CPAP success in treating sleep apnea has been compliance with treatment — wearing the mask. Patients are often uncomfortable using the device, especially at the beginning of treatment, and this reluctance can lead to inconsistent use, or abandonment of the therapy altogether.
Researchers at The Netherlands' University of Groningen compared treatment outcomes for OSA patients using CPAP and oral appliance therapy. They found oral appliance therapy to be an effective alternative to CPAP for treating sleep apnea.
Oral appliance therapy (such as the Stop Snoring System from ZenSleep) involves dental devices such as a mouth guard (mandibular advancement device / MAD) or tongue retaining device (TRD). Worn during sleep, these devices work to keep the airway open.
The difference between those two dental devices is that the MAD works by holding your jaw in a slightly forward position to keep your airway clear (which can be an uncomfortable feeling for many patients), while the TRD works by holding your tongue forward. The concept will likely remind you of a pacifier, but there is only a small bulb that can be seen, when your mouth is closed.
Researchers conducted a two-year follow up to a clinical trial that compared the effectiveness of CPAP and oral appliance therapy. During the two-year study period, researchers assessed the treatment progress of 103 patients with OSA. They used several standard measurements to track patients' progress in treatment, including polysomnography and a self-reported sleepiness scale.
The severity of OSA is categorized by the frequency of episodes of interrupted breathing, as ranked on a scale known as the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). For the purpose of this study, researchers defined "successful" treatment as a reduction of AHI to less than five episodes per hour, or a reduction of at least 50 percent from subjects' initial AHI readings.
For subjects with OSA ranging from mild to severe, researchers found similar levels of success in both CPAP and oral appliance therapy.
Both oral appliance therapy and CPAP resulted in significant improvements to patients sleep quality, as well as to their levels of daytime sleepiness. Both treatments also showed similar reductions to levels of depression and anxiety, conditions frequently reported by sleep apnea patients.
Both treatments were effective in reducing frequency of interrupted breathing episodes—but CPAP was found more effective than oral appliance therapy at lowering AHI. CPAP also demonstrated greater effectiveness in raising blood oxygen levels than oral appliance therapy.
Researchers concluded that oral appliance therapy was a viable treatment option for patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea.
Update: The #1 oral appliance therapy company in the United States, ZenSleep, is currently offering a buy one get one free sale on their 5-in-1 Stop Snoring oral appliance therapy. You can learn more here.
Compliance has long been an issue with CPAP therapy. Intermittent and inconsistent use of the device undermines its effectiveness. To receive the full benefits of CPAP therapy, it must be used consistently — and for many patients, that has proved difficult.
Still, there's little question that when used correctly and consistently, CPAP can be tremendously effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea, especially severe cases. For people with severe OSA, CPAP will likely remain the standard treatment.
But broadening treatment options for less severe sleep apnea is very good news. People with mild and moderate OSA — especially those who have difficulty with CPAP — may consider using oral appliance therapy to manage their condition.

Digital television transition in India began in 2010.

History

Digital satellite and cable TV
Television Networks (Regulation) Amendment Act, 2011 has made digital satellite and cable television transition mandatory in four phases. It was implemented after multiple extension of analogue switch-off dates. The broadcasters, Multi System Operators (MSOs), Local Cable Operators (LCOs) were ordered by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to end analogue transmission completely on 31 March 2017.

Digital terrestrial TV
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has set the deadlines for the completion of transition to Digital terrestrial TV Phase I (Metro cities) by 31 December 2019, Phase II (cities having a population of more than one million) by 31 December 2021, and Phase III (the rest of India) by 31 December 2023.

Parkinson's Disease Linked to Deficiency in Recycling System of Brain Cells
by Joana Fernandes, PhD | September 19, 2016
A recent study suggests that a genetic mutation that disrupts a protein involved in the degradation of biological material within neurons allows waste products to accumulate, contributing to the pathology of Parkinson's disease. Mutations in this protein, Vps35, have been associated with Parkinson's disease, but until now, it was not clear how they could contribute to the development of the disease.
The study, "Parkinson's Disease Linked Vps35 R524W Mutation Impairs The Endosomal Association Of Retromer And Induces Α-Synuclein Aggregation," was published by Jordan Follett and colleagues from the University of Queensland in Australia in the Journal of Biological Chemistry.
"It has been identified that one of these proteins (Vps35) is mutated in some Parkinson's patients, which creates congestion in the transport network inside cells," Rohan Teasdale, the study's lead author, said in a news release.
"As a result, it appears that the workers responsible for recycling material within these neurons are not getting to their correct workplace, and without their assistance the cells within the brain cannot rid themselves of waste materials, which increases the likelihood of cell death. It's this cell death that then causes the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as tremors and muscle stiffness."
In their study, the researchers introduced two mutated versions of the Vps35 protein — Vps35 P316S and Vps35 R524W — both of which had been identified in patients with Parkinson's disease, and analyzed their impact on cell functioning. The normal form of Vps35 interacts with the machinery that regulates the trafficking of materials within cells and allows material that's no longer needed to be sent for degradation in specialized compartments in the cell.
However, the dysfunctional Vps35 R524W form (but not Vps35 P316S) was poorly able to maintain its function, thereby contributing to the impairment of the recycling and cleaning abilities of the cells and promoting the accumulation of waste. One of the molecules that accumulated within cells was alpha-synuclein, a protein that is known to form large accumulations of aggregates in a brain with Parkinson's disease, impairing neuronal function.
The results indicate that, by slowing or stopping the trafficking of alpha-synuclein and other molecules to the "garbage bins" within cells, mutated Vsp35 contributes to the accumulation of molecules that are linked to the development of Parkinson's disease.
"As part of this study we expanded the transport network within these cells which reinstated traffic flow so the neurons could rid themselves of waste," Teasdale said. "We believe that expanding the cells' recycling capacity could halt or drastically slow the progression of the disease."
In addition to Parkinson's disease, other diseases triggered by the accumulation of waste materials in the cells (called lysosomal diseases) can benefit from future therapies targeting this recycling mechanism.

She also served as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology in Coimbra, Portugal, where she also received her PhD in Health Science and Technologies, with a specialty in Molecular and Cellular Biology.

Q: CodeIgniter: Global Vars via Controller and Indirect modification of overloaded property A problem haunting me since early days of CodeIgniter and now, with the new CI 3 i want to see if there is a more elegant way to solve it.
// file: application/core/MY_Controller.php
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {

   public $GLO;

   function __construct(){
      parent::__construct();
      $this->GLO['foo'] = 'bar';
      $this->GLO['arr'] = array();
   }
}

then, later in the code, I need to get and set the values of the $GLO variable dynamically. So for instance:
// file: application/controllers/dispatcher.php
class Dispatcher extends MY_Controller {

   function __construct() {
     parent::__construct();
     $this->load->model('public/langs');
     print_r($this->GLO);
   }
}

will print array('foo'=>'bar, 'arr'=>Array()) which is correct. Also in my models I can get the values of the $GLO array in the same manner. However, as soon as I need to set any values in the $GLO array, I get the Indirect modification of overloaded property notice and so I am stuck. In my model (after executing a DB query):
// file: application/models/public/langs.php
class Langs extends CI_Model {

function __construct(){
    parent::__construct();
}

function set_global_languages(){
  print_r($this->GLO); // <<< prints the same values as in the controller above
  $temp = array();
  // [stripped db code]
  $temp['label'] = $row->label;
  $temp['id'] = $row->id;
  $this->GLO['arr'][] = $temp; // <<< this is where the notice happens
}

Any clues of how I can use $this->GLO['foo'] = 'baz'; for setting properties of this global array in my models?
Cheers.

A: I stumbled upon this problem a ton of times. Since you are asking for an elegant solution - i try to give you some idea.
There is a library called Registry, which is written totally fine and can be extended any time. You can find the library here.
Put it in your libraries folder.
This library should get autoloaded so it is always available.
Add it to your config/autoload.php
$autoload['libraries'] = array(...,"Registry");

After that you should have a really easy way of storing things globally within CI - in your code for example it would look like
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {

    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();

        $arrSomething = [
            'foo' => "bar",
            "arr" => array()
        ];
        $this->registry->set("arrSomething",$arrSomething);
    }
}

class Dispatcher extends MY_Controller
{

    function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->model('public/langs');
    }
}

class Langs extends CI_Model
{

    function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
    }

    function set_global_languages()
    {
        $arrSomething = $this->registry->get("arrSomething");
        $temp = array();
        // [stripped db code]
        $temp['label'] = $row->label;
        $temp['id'] = $row->id;
        $arrSomething['arr'][] = $temp;

        //in case of an array i guess you've to reset it because there is no reference or try to call it by reference with "&"
        $this->registry->set("arrSomething");

    }
}

A: sintakonte, thanks a lot for the tip. Last night I had to rewrite a lot of code to see if and how it works. The Registry class works as expected! The only issue with this set/get method is the handling of deep arrays, especially those created dynamically and having their data pushed dynamically too. So today morning I did something very bad :) and just created this class:
class Globals {
  public $data = array();
}

So now I am going from $this->GLO['foo'] to $this->globals->data['foo'] and get to keep existing syntax intact! It also enables me to reuse the class in different controllers and models under different names, once initializing it as "globals" and the other time as "admin". Seems to work alright, too!

Koahnic Broadcast Corporation (KBC) is a nonprofit media center that provides Native radio programming through Alaska Native governance and operation.  KBC's radio programming consists of National Native News, Native America Calling, and Indigefi, some of which can be heard nationally through their Native Voice One service. KBC also owns and operates KNBA (90.3 FM) located in Anchorage, Alaska, the first Native radio station in an urban market, and Rising Indigenous Voices Radio (RIVR), an internet radio station streaming modern Native music.

Background
Cook Inlet Region, Inc., a corporation created under the 1971 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, was instrumental in developing KBC.  KBC was founded in 1996 and is located in Anchorage, Alaska, with a satellite office in Albuquerque, N.M.  The word "koahnic" is of Athabascan origin and was chosen for the name of the corporation due to its meaning "live air."  KBC is funded in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. On June 28, 2010, KBC aired its first international broadcast broadcasting the 11th Inuit Circumpolar Council's General Assembly from Greenland to North America.

Mission statement
The primary mission of KBC is to bring Native voices to Alaska and the nation with its core purpose being to broadcast the Native voice.

Programming
 National Native News (NNN) is a radio show which airs news relating to Native issues on 137 radio stations.  This show began in 1987 with a distribution to 30 stations and is the "only daily news and information program produced from a Native perspective".  NNN is a five-minute program that is distributed by Native Voice One (NV1).  This show is produced in Albuquerque.
 Native America Calling (NAC) is a live radio show that allows listeners to call in and discuss issues that are relevant to Native communities. NAC is distributed via Native Voice One (NV1) to 52 stations and on the internet.
 Indigefi is a radio show that features Native music. Indigefi is produced by KBC, hosted by Alexis Sallee, and distributed by Native Voice One (NV1).
 Stories of our People is a radio show that is edited from 50 hours of taped interviews and narratives told by Native Americans.
 Native Word of the Day is a radio program that delivers a Native American word of the day.
UnderCurrents is a culturally diverse, freeform daily music mix heard on 203 stations and the internet.  UnderCurrents is independently produced by Gregg McVicar (Tlingit) of RadioCamp, LLC and is distributed by Native Voice One (NV1).
 Gae:no'  is a weekly one-hour program devoted to traditional Native American music, with a focus on Iroquois music. It is hosted by Brett Maybee. From 2010 to 2021, the program was a local program on NV1 affiliate WGWE, before the Seneca Nation of Indians shut that station down.

National Training Center
KBC's National Training Center, once known as the Indigenous Broadcast Center and founded in 1992, provided training opportunities for Alaska Natives and Native Americans interested in a broadcasting career, on-site workshops, The Alaska Native Youth Media Institute since 1992, and an internship program.

Native Voice One
Native Voice One, better known as NV1, is Koahnic's operation distributing radio programming from producers to broadcast stations. It also distributes radio programming directly to listeners via the Internet.

Circa 2000, the service that distributed Native American programming to radio stations via the Public Radio Satellite System was called AIROS. Koahnic relied on AIROS to distribute several of its programs. In 2005, Indian Country Today described AIROS as primarily a distributor and Koahnic primarily a program content provider. Then Koahnic won the contract to use the satellite network, and renamed the service Native Voice One. Koahnic took over the service on July 1, 2006. In 2014, the Smithsonian Institution listed two organizations as operating Native American networks via satellite: Native Voice One and Satélite Radio Bilingüe. The latter serves Spanish language radio listeners in the United States, some of which are Native American.

After applying for admission to a nursing school, you have to write an admissions essay sometimes referred to as a statement of purpose (SoP). It is a chance to plead your case by stating the reasons that draw your desire to become a nurse and the reasons that will make your dream a reality. Many applicants lose their opportunity by writing wrong content in their essays. They mistake it for a place to list their credentials and quote their favorite teachers. On the other hand, the admissions staff wants to see the personal side of the applicant without the formalities of academic qualifications to pick their personal drive.
Academic Writers Bureau has helped many applicants to gain admission by writing the correct statements of purpose for them. We can save you t from the trap of writing an admissions essay that will harm your chances. The committee has many applications with similar transcriptions test scores, recommendations and volunteer experience. We create great admissions essays using a different approach to attract the attention of the readers because they will be happy to read something else from the monotonous presentations. It is our way of making you the notable candidate.
The purpose of a SoP is to let the admissions staff know you individually. We will highlight your motivation to be a nurse in a distinct way that moves the readers. We tell your story on instances that opened the world of providing care to you. It can be an instance where you helped a sick person through illness. Volunteering in medical camps or inspiration from other nurses after watching them work. We know that a personal essay cannot change academic scores, but it can make a difference in the way the admissions staff thinks about your attitude. We, therefore, focus on situations that demonstrate your passion for providing care.
Writers at Academicwritersbureau.com are individuals who know about the admission requirements for a nursing school. Some of them have worked as admissions staff or trained as nurses. They can anticipate what committees will look for in nursing essays. Their insider knowledge of admissions requirements by various nursing schools helps them to choose the right content and tone. All our writers have degrees in their respective fields and good communicators who write a perfect grammar.
Time is an important factor for an admissions essay as the committees may decide to consider those that it receives first. Due to many applications, the concentration among the admission staff will only be at its best when they read the first set of admissions essays and only skim through the last batch. Although we serve thousands of customers when nursing is recruiting, we never miss a deadline to give everyone time to read the work and submit early.
In the process of completing your work on time, our writers will not overlook anything that can affect the quality or leave our something that boosts your chances.

Bring water and ham hocks/shanks to a boil in a 5- to 8-quart heavy pot. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until meat is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
With tongs, transfer ham hocks to a cutting board to cool; reserve cooking liquid. When cool enough to handle, discard skin, bones, and fat and finely chop ham.
Add cabbage to reserved cooking liquid, bring to a simmer, and simmer, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes. With tongs, transfer cabbage to a colander set over a large bowl. Add half of turnip, mustard, and beet greens to cooking liquid in pot and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer greens to colander with cabbage. Cook remaining greens in same manner and transfer to colander; set pot aside. When greens are cool enough to handle, finely chop; reserve cooking liquid in bowl. Pour cooking liquid from the pot into this bowl of cooking liquid from the drained greens. Add water if necessary to bring total to 8 cups.
Melt butter in cleaned pot over moderate heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, until beginning to brown. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until pale golden. Add cooking liquid in a slow stream, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add chopped greens, ham, thyme, and chiles and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until greens are tender, about 8 minutes.
Gradually add spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted. Stir in parsley and salt.
Serve gumbo over rice with hot sauce.
*** The gumbo without spinach, parsley, and salt, can be made up to 2 days ahead. Cool completely, uncovered, then refrigerate, covered. Reheat before adding the remaining ingredients.

Lunch With Buffett
August 13, 2017 by J.D. Avant
Photography by Bill Sitzmann
With food-inspired songs such as "Charleston's," "Medium Rare," and the album's title track, the duo displays a penchant for sweet-sounding beats and aspirations to dine with Omaha's most affluent resident, Warren Buffett.
They speculate that arranging lunch with the local billionaire would be easier than getting airplay on local radio stations.
"We want to be heard," Big Tate says. "The radio DJ abides by guidelines that [forbid] touching the streets. They are afraid to challenge the norm."
"Radio is stagnant," Absolut-P adds. "It isn't as influential as it once was. If we want to make an impact, we'd be better off putting together a lunch with Warren Buffett and creating a buzz from that."
Or maybe just make up a song about having lunch with Buffett.
Big Tate
That sort of creative thinking would be the driving force behind Absolut-P (aka Stevin Taylor) and Big Tate (aka James Buckley) collaborating on the album.
The idea came from another friend's fateful encounter with Buffett at a now-closed Omaha steakhouse known to be one of Buffett's favorite local restaurants.
"A friend of mine happened to be eating at Piccolo Pete's when she called to tell me that Warren Buffett and Bill Gates were sitting across from her," Big Tate recalls. "I told her that I needed her to get a picture of them by any means. I'm always thinking of ways to promote our music with imagery and catchy choruses. I was sure that I could come up with a song for that image."
Big Tate was familiar with Buffett's history of auctioning off a "power lunch" for charity. In 2016, an anonymous bidder paid $3,456,789 for the experience, with the money going to benefit the Glide Foundation, a San Francisco nonprofit dedicated to helping homeless and underprivileged residents.
For months, Big Tate continued to stew over his idea. Later in 2016, he partnered with local producer Absolut-P (the P stands for "Perfection"), and they were able to create an infectious melody.
The song's music video even featured a faux cameo by Buffett (thanks to a cut-out photograph of the billionaire's face pasted over one of their friends).
They consider it an homage to the wealthy hometown hero.
"We're from the north side of Omaha, and you don't see those types of people on the north side," Big Tate explains. "Other than Bud Crawford, it's hard to relate to anyone on such a big stage. It's good to look up to self-made men."
Absolut-P
"As independent artists, Warren Buffett's entrepreneurial spirit gives us a sense of self-pride," Absolut-P says. "He shows us that by investing in ourselves we can reap big rewards."
One such investment involved professional mastering for the album by Rick Carson at Make Believe Studios. Absolut-P and Big Tate hope the song resonates with fans of hip-hop, Omaha, and Buffett alike. They released the album Dec. 31, 2016 (with a parental advisory warning for explicit content).
"The album-making process was so organic," says Big Tate, explaining that hip-hop works best when pursued in a natural, fun way. "We just made songs about what we like; everyone likes to eat at a nice restaurant and order a good prime rib. That made us think of Charleston's; they have some of the best steaks in Omaha. I like my steak well-done, but I've heard that they are very good medium-rare."
When asked where they would like to take Buffett for lunch, both agree that Time Out Foods or The Taste's of Soul Cafe would be a good place to accommodate them.
"I'm sure Warren Buffett is used to eating at the finest establishments," Absolut-P says. "I'd want to give him a taste of our roots with some good food for the soul."
Find Big Tate on Twitter at @BigTate402 and Absolut-P at @IAmAbsolutP. Both musicians frequently release new songs on social media. Their respective Soundcloud accounts are soundcloud.com/big-tate and soundcloud.com/absolut-p. Lunch with Buffett is available on iTunes, Spotify, Tidal, Spinrilla, Google Play, and YouTube. Copies are sold at Homer's in downtown Omaha.

Mr. & Mrs. Fink
June 1, 2017 by Kyle Eustice
The evolution of CLOSENESS was quite literally a matter of the heart—not in a cheesy, romantic musing type of way, but the actual blood-pumping, life-sustaining muscular organ. Husband-wife duo Orenda Fink (Azure Ray) and Todd Fink (The Faint) are the masterminds behind the electro-dream-pop project. The couple say they always wanted to merge musical styles, but they could never quite find the time. Todd was touring in support of The Faint's last album, Doom Abuse, and Orenda was involved in her solo work. As fate would have it, a frightening medical emergency involving Orenda's heart temporarily brought everything to a screeching halt. In November 2015, she went under the knife to repair a birth defect that was
originally misdiagnosed.
"I had it my whole life, but never knew how dangerous it was," Orenda admits. "They couldn't believe I was still alive [laughs]. With my condition, I had a bunch of extra electrical pathways on my heart that were not supposed to be there. They had to get rid of them."
"We realized there was no better time to do this," Todd adds. "If we were going to do it, we had to do it now. After her surgery, everything became more urgent."
Todd and Orenda have been a unit for more than 15 years, and it just so happens both are incredibly talented musicians in their own right. It was because of this shared love and compassion for one another that Orenda finally took her arrhythmia seriously.
"I've had episodes my whole life," she says. "A couple of weeks before I was diagnosed, my heart went into an abnormal rhythm. Normally, it would kick back in, but this time it just stayed. I was just so used to it that I was traveling, smoking cigarettes, hanging out with friends—but Todd was like, 'Um, you need to go to the doctor immediately [laughs].'"
Orenda flew back to Omaha and went straight to the doctor. Two-and-a-half weeks later, the Georgia native was having heart surgery, which was the first time she'd ever had any kind of surgical procedure. What was supposed to be a three-hour event turned into 12 hours, but thankfully she pulled through.
"Your heart is such an immediate thing—it has to be going," she says with a hint of sarcasm. "It made us kind of realize how precious and fragile life is, I guess."
Back at home, she sunk into a depression, which can be common for heart patients.
"When you are faced with your own mortality so intensely, you get depressed," she says.
Still recuperating in sweatpants and socks, CLOSENESS took its initial steps and Orenda quickly found solace in making music with her husband.
"We started the band almost immediately," she says. "It was cathartic. Something about that experience [surgery] made me realize now there were no more excuses not to do it."
On March 10, CLOSENESS unveiled its debut EP, Personality Therapy, and had its album release party later that night at Omaha's beloved hole-in-the wall O'Leaver's, where Todd and Orenda played to a packed house. Naturally, the Omaha music community came out in droves to support one of their own. Shortly after, the duo hit the road for Austin's annual South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival and continued their road trip to New York City, something they've wanted to do for years.
"We're looking to tour as much as possible," Todd explains. "It's part of why we wanted to do a band with just the two of us—to be able to make kind of, like, a vacation out of it, where it's just the two of us together, and we're able to drive around in our car. It's not like working. We don't have to be away from each other to do what we're doing. I am really looking forward to that aspect."
While traveling with other people has its merits, it also has its challenges. Oftentimes, the vastly different personalities can throw a wrench in the process, but for the Finks, it makes more sense.
"We've been together for so long that our tastes have melded," she says. "From what we like to do to where we like to eat—we just know each other. That's one of the hardest parts about being on the road with other people—always having to compromise. This seems like a dream scenario."
Being a quintessential "rock-star couple," however, didn't always come easy. In the beginning, like all relationships, there were some hiccups, but it was nothing they couldn't work through.
"He got in trouble in the beginning years," she jokes. "Not like cheating or anything, but figuring out what a married man can do—like he couldn't go skinny-dipping with girls on tour anymore [laughs]."
"I thought the ocean was huge [laughs]," he replies. "You don't get a manual when you get married. You don't know exactly where the line is."
One big lesson they learned, however, is to not get caught up in the minutiae of everyday life.
"Pick your battles," Orenda says. "You have to keep the greatest good of the relationship as the highest priority. Everyone slips on that in any relationship. If you're in a really intense working relationship together, you're going to have friction. It's figuring out how to deal with that friction. You want the outcome to be forgiveness and loving each other. If you slip up, remember that's the ultimate goal."
"Winning an argument really isn't worth anything," Todd adds. "The goal isn't to win. It's to get back to a place of love."

Wow! A city of "Bests!"
Omaha is filled with so many amazing businesses, innovators, artists, entrepreneurs, vendors, doctors, venues, restaurants, and… well you name the category. The "Bests." They make us proud to be from Omaha.
And yet, how many times have you been on a trip to some exotic locale like Bora Bora, Paris, Costa Rica, Portland, or even Lubbock, and upon being asked where you're from, you've mumbled, "Omaha," furtively, under your breath?
Despite the fact that our hometown boasts a 6-foot-tall bronze statue of Chef Boyardee, and the archetypical power of our name emblazoned on the Wizard of Oz's escape balloon, we feel shy about claiming our place as one of the best places on earth.
Admit it. We've always had a bit of an inferiority complex about where we're from—where we live. But, why? Well, I suspect that bit of shame might be rooted in the lyrics of an old song that described this town of ours back in the early days:
"Hast ever been in Omaha,
Where rolls the dark Missouri down,
And four strong horses scarce can draw
An empty wagon through the town?
Where sand is blown from every mound
To fill the eyes and ears and throat?
Where all the steamers are aground
And all the shanties are afloat?
Where whisky shops the livelong night
Are vending out their poison juice;
Where men are often very tight,
And women deemed a trifle loose?"
Hardly a "New York, New York" or "April in Paris," that's for sure. The lyrics are no match for "Bombay Se Gayi Poona," either.
We started with a pretty brutal musical self-image. Maybe this nagging sense of "less than" is rooted in the dearth of good tunes about our fair city.
Groucho Marx tried to lift our spirits with a ditty that included, "There's a place called Omaha, Nebraska, in the foothills of Tennessee." The geographical illiteracy, however, negated any positive image building.
Stan Freberg didn't help with his musical Omaha! that included lyrics like; "Who me? Miss the weenie roast in Omaha?" and "Omaha moon keep shining. You shone on Council Bluffs last June. Leaving Dundee lovers pining. Please remember you're an Omaha moon."
Nobel Prize winner Robert Allen Zimmerman (aka Bob Dylan) sang, "I'm going to ride into Omaha on a horse. Out to the country club and the golf course," in 1964—no comfort there.
Psychedelic ensemble Moby Grape did us no favors with their 1968 single, "Omaha," which didn't mention Omaha even once beyond the title.
Bob Seger sang about "A long and lonesome highway east of Omaha" in his paean to touring as a rock star but he never mentioned actually coming into town while he was in the neighborhood. So, thanks a lot, Bob.
We did hit it big in 1973 when Grand Funk Railroad sang about "four young chiquitas in Omaha," in their No. 1 hit "We're an American Band." The problem was, Little Rock got top billing in the verses, and, after the chorus we ended up getting a hotel torn down.
So here's the deal, we need an Omaha anthem. A song with the Omaha equivalent of "little cable cars," and some parallel to "that toddling town." We need to be where "little town shoes" are headed. Omaha needs a "Best Song About Omaha" winner next year. We need to patch up the psychic scars we've borne for all these many years.
It won't be easy. Others have tried and failed. I'm counting on you, we all are.
Do you have an anthem for Omaha? E-mail a video of your song to Omaha Magazine at editor@omahamagazine.com to be considered for prizes.

Every morning when Frank turns on the TV "Breaking News" is reporting a shooting, kidnapping, fire or some other disaster. I open the newspaper and the headlines scream out about our government, taxes, healthcare, war in foreign countries and more. I walk the streets and see more frowns of worry, fear and hatred than I see smiles of joy.
I take a walk in nature and I see beauty, I smell the mustiness of the earth, I hear the songs of birds, I feel the chill air of early morning, I touch the soft moss covered rocks, I taste the cleanness of nature and I am at peace with the world.
I ask myself… "How can I share this peace, this joy and this beauty that I am fortunate enough to experience on a regular basis?" When I see a beautiful image I am uplifted. When I read an inspring quote I am motivated. When I see a smile my heart swells.
"Be in love with your life.


The stew's base can be refrigerated a day in advance, or frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
Remove any stalks and fronds from the fennel bulb, reserving some of the fronds for garnish, but save the stalks for making stock or discard them. Remove and discard the core and the tough outer layer of the fennel bulb. Coarsely chop the rest of the fennel.
Use a vegetable peeler to remove 2 strips of zest from the orange, measuring 1-by-3 inches, being careful not to include any white pith. Then squeeze half the orange to yield 3 tablespoons of juice, reserving it to add later.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, stir in the onion, carrot and celery to coat; cook for about 5 minutes, until they have softened. Add the chopped fennel bulb and the garlic; cook for 30 seconds, then stir in the tomato paste.
Add the tomatoes with their juices, the fish stock, bay leaf, strips of orange zest, salt and crushed red pepper flakes. Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for about 25 minutes, until the fennel is tender. Discard the strips of orange zest and the bay leaf.
When you are ready to serve, return the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then add the olives and the fish. Once the mixture begins to bubble at the edges, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. Stir in the reserved orange juice and remove from the heat.
Serve hot, garnished with some reserved fennel fronds.


Sizzling July sales numbers for Apple's iPhone and a fever pitch of excitement over the first major revamp of the iPod in two years sent Apple shares surging more than 4 percent yesterday.
Shares in the Cupertino, Calif.-based company rose $5.68 to close at $144.16 ahead of today's "special event" in San Francisco, at which Jobs is expected to announce a new lineup of new portable music and video players.
Powering Apple stock was a report from research firm iSuppli Corp. that the iPhone outsold all smart phones in the U.S. during July, accounting for 1.8 percent of all mobile-handset unit sales to U.S. consumers.
iPhone sales outpaced all smart phones from BlackBerry maker Research in Motion, Palm, Motorola, Nokia, and Samsung, and equaled sales of LG's feature-rich music phone, the Chocolate, iSuppli said.
The firm called the pace of adoption for the iPhone "likely. . . unprecedented in the history of the mobile-handset market" and reiterated its forecast that Apple will ship 4.5 million iPhones worldwide in 2007, and more than 30 million units by 2011.
Published reports from Apple and AT&T watchers are calling for in excess of 800,000 units sold by October.

Managers Play their Best Lineups
Joe Girardi Mostly Ignores Roster Games; Yankees Still Kick Red Sox in the Teeth
Posted on September 28, 2011 September 29, 2011 by Jason Turbow in Managers Play their Best Lineups
Mark Teixeira started -- and homered (twice) -- before everything fell apart for New York.
Prior to Wednesday's game against Tampa Bay, Yankees manager Joe Girardi found himself in a terrifically sweet position. The Yankees had little to play for; they would finish with the American League's best record regardless of the outcome.
A loss, however, would give the Rays a leg up on the American League wild card. More pertinently, it would provide a possible knockout shot to the Red Sox—and what Yankee wouldn't enjoy that?
With so much on the line for his opponent, however, Girardi was, under the auspices of baseball's unwritten rules, obligated to utilize his best players. So the question became, Would it be okay if he didn't?
The answer: Of course. Winning, or putting your team in a position to win, trumps nearly every facet of the Code. It's safe to assume that Girardi—a Yankees catcher for four years before taking over as manager in 2008—takes joy in any opportunity to stick it to Boston. On Wednesday, he could do so under cover of getting his own team ready for the postseason. The skipper had a playoff series to prepare for, and resting his players may well be vital to that preparation.
In fact, Girardi did exactly that against the Rays on Sept. 22, resting Curtis Granderson, Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano, Russell Martin and Brett Gardner in a game New York would lose, 15-8.
But with the season on the line for Tampa Bay on Wednesday, Girardi started what's essentially been his regular lineup, and stuck with it until rain delayed the game in the seventh.
With New York holding a 7-0 lead, the skipper went to his bench: Eric Chavez replaced Mark Teixeira in the lineup, and took over at third base. Brandon Laird moved from third to first. Chris Dickerson took over for Nick Swisher in right field. Heck, A.J. Burnett—A.J. Burnett!—saw action in the seventh.
That strategy, of course, is covered by its own set of unwritten rules. With the game comfortably in hand, Girardi could have been accused of running up the score had he continued to play aggressively. Such a full utilization of his role players was definitely not that.
As it was, of course, we all realized exactly how far behind us the days in which a 4-0 lead was considered safe actually are. Tampa Bay tied the game with six in the eighth and one in the ninth, and won it—and the wild card—on Evan Longoria's 12th-inning homer.
Boston fans might bemoan Girardi for his late-game lineup manipulations, but their manager didn't. "They can do whatever they want," said Terry Francona in a MassLive.com article published Monday. "They have played themselves into that position; they've earned the luxury. I have never had a problem with that."
The piece of Code mandating that managers utilize their best lineups when playing contenders late in the season really comes into play when an also-ran rests its regulars against a club with playoff hopes—"to get a look at the kids," or some such. Few issues will be taken should the occasional prospect be utilized for evaluation purposes, but generally speaking the rule is firm: Play the rookies against Pittsburgh; sit 'em against St. Louis.
Take 2004, for example. Going into the season's final series, the Giants and Houston were tied for the wild card lead with 89-70 records. The Astros closed with three home games against Colorado, while the Giants visited Los Angeles.
Suffice it to say that members of the San Francisco clubhouse took note when Rockies manager Clint Hurdle trotted out a series-opening lineup featuring six rookies—Aaron Miles, Clint Barmes, Garrett Atkins, Jorge Piedra, Brad Hawpe and JD Closser.
The Giants managed to take two of three from the Dodgers, but it wasn't enough; the Astros swept punchless Colorado.
"All we needed was for Houston to lose one game," said then-Giants reliever Matt Herges. "We were watching that, yelling, 'This is a joke.' We couldn't stand Clint Hurdle after that."
"If we're in that position, it means we stunk all year," said Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson. "Well, let's stink a little more if we have to, but we're going to give them the best shot we've got."
That, however, is not a universal view. For the flip side of the argument, we turn to Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
"Goddammit, if I'm that far out of the pennant race, the players I was playing weren't worth a shit, anyway," he said. "You might as well take a chance and look at some new players for next year."
Which brings us back to Joe Girardi, who doesn't have to worry about any of that. His players don't stink, he could have gotten away with virtually anything he wanted in this regard during yesterday's game and, as a bonus, he helped kill Boston's season.
Not bad for a day's work.

Hello? You PLAY to WIN the GAME!
OK, usually. And thanks, Herman Edwards, for my all-time favorite coachquote. Well, second favorite. (Playoffs!?)
DRR says:
Rain delayed the game in the 7th? The rain delay was in the Sox/O's game, not the Yanks/Rays game, which was in a dome.
Jason Turbow says:
Yep. Dumb mistake amid a shower of baseball endorphins …
James H. says:
Girardi did the right thing by trotting out his regulars, and had the luxury of a 7-0 lead. Even a less forgiving manager than Francona would have little to argue against that.
Stu Shea says:
Can't blame the Yankees' bench players for their pitchers allowing 15 runs…or that the bullpen blew it again yesterday. You can't always use your best pitcher.
Razzlegator says:
I was at the game last night, and was tempted to leave early. Being it was possibly the last game of the year, the wife and I decided to stay 'till the end. What a great decision that turned out to be. It was kind of surreal though, Yankees fan rooting for the Rays, Rays fan rooting for the Orioles, and deep down where no one could see it, Red Sox fan rooting for the Yankees. Is this a beautiful game or what? Thank you Jason for the effort you put into this blog. Definitely one of my favorites.


On September 20th, we kicked off our 2017 Community Impact Campaign at Court Square Theatre in downtown Harrisonburg. Community partners and members gathered to enjoy an evening of fun and positive impact.
After gathering in the theatre, our Executive Director, Laura Toni-Holsinger, graciously introduced those individuals and organizations who played a vital role in the campaign. The best part though, was the touching stories shared about community members who had been impacted through the help and services supported by United Way. To learn more, check out our 2016-2017 Community Impact Report.
In addition to stories of impact, it was also revealed that our annual campaign would be dedicated to Charlie Wampler Jr., a founder of our United Way and passionate community activist. With good memories of Charlie at the forefront of everybody's mind, all transitioned to the Capital Ale house to enjoy drinks and appetizers. Each member who partook in this incredible event not only had a deeper understanding of the United Way's impact, but also what work goes into meeting the community's needs. This Campaign Kick Off was surely the mark of even more successful years ahead.
Many thanks to our media partners for great coverage of the event.
