Turbo Charging Collaboration for Improved Decision Making

December 18th, 2009 | No Comments

With competitive pressures building due to the current economic conditions, there is a greater urgency to make more efficient use of information and make faster, more intelligent business decisions. To do this, organizations need to turbo-charge their collaborative efforts by pro-actively and intelligently directing information to individuals and groups who could benefit the most from that information. However, simply putting collaboration systems in place is not enough. To get the most out of collaboration requires a push. Specifically, the information in collaborative systems needs to be actively and intelligently directed to individuals and groups who could benefit from it the most. Join Smarter Technology reporter Ashley Daley as she sorts through the different types of collaboration platforms and shows you how to make each work for your organization.

DelFest Initial Lineup YMSB, Avetts, KW, Grisman, RRE

October 27th, 2009 | No Comments

MCCOURY MUSIC & HIGH SIERRA MUSIC ANNOUNCE

INITIAL LINEUP FOR 3rd ANNUAL DELFEST at ALLEGANY COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS, CUMBERLAND, MD

Del McCoury Band

After much anticipation, bluegrass patriarch Del McCoury and WAMU’s Bluegrass Country’s Katy Daley announced the initial lineup for the 3rd Annual DelFest live on air this morning. They then proceeded to take calls from fans and play cuts from the Del McCoury Band’s new album, Family Circle, which hits stores today.

Along with the Del McCoury Band and Del’s sons’ spinoff, The Travelin’ McCourys, next year’s featured artists include Yonder Mountain String Band, The Avett Brothers, Keller Williams and Friends featuring Jeff Austin and Keith Moseley, David Grisman Bluegrass Experience, Railroad Earth, Dailey and Vincent and others (see below for full list). “While there will be many more acts added, we are proud to announce this first round of artists — many who are friends of ours,” says Ronnie McCoury of the announcement.

DelFest will be held Thursday, May 27 through Sunday, May 30, 2010 at the Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, MD (2.5 hrs from Baltimore and DC). It originated from the desire to create a family-friendly music festival celebrating the rich legacy of McCoury music while creating a forum for world-class musical collaborations and to showcase fresh new talent with a down-home feeling. Produced in association with High Sierra Music, the 3rd Annual DelFest will again offer a quality festival experience stamped with the unique McCoury touch. Personally chosen by Del, the Allegany County Fairgrounds in Cumberland, MD serves as the perfect location for DelFest. Nestled along the Potomac River in the scenic Appalachian Mountains, the Fairgrounds are convenient to four major airports and easily reached by rail or road.

In addition to traditional stage sets by these world-class artists, attendees can again expect to see one-of-a-kind collaborations, special guest sit-ins, various tributes to Del McCoury and his musical legacy, intimate appearances, both at unique “playshops” — informal workshops where the emphasis will be on performance rather than instruction — and in late night indoor performances and picking sessions. DelFest will also include a band competition, with the winners invited to return for a regular set at the following year’s gathering, and for the second year, DelFest will be immediately preceded by a 3-day Music Academy hosted by The Travelin’ McCourys, where all levels of musicians can learn from their heroes (the Academy will take place May 25, 26, and 27).

A limited number of early bird passes are on sale now, as well as DELuxe Experience (VIP) packages and RV passes. For detailed information and to purchase tickets, visit www.delfest.com.

Teenage diver becomes world champion

July 22nd, 2009 | No Comments

With barely a ripple, teenage diver Tom Daley last night became a world champion – and simultaneously put memories of a disappointing Olympics and cruel school bullying behind him.

Daley’s win in Rome – to become world champion at the 10m individual platform event – takes him a long way from his performance in Beijing. There he had a very public falling out – over a mobile phone call his synchro diving partner Blake Aldridge took between dives – and they finished eighth.

Daley’s success led to him being bullied at school. It got worse when he became more well known and he was eventually forced to change schools. At the time, his father, Rob, said: “In class they throw pens and pencils at him. Some have even threatened to break his legs. That was the last straw.”

The teenager has now enrolled at the independent Plymouth College, which boasts a number of national athletes including swimmer Cassie Patten, who won a bronze medal in Beijing.

Daley, 15, described his win as “insane”. “To come away with gold was unthinkable. It still hasn’t sunk in. It makes all the sacrifices worthwhile. Now I want to do it again in 2012.”

His father, who was in Rome to see his son’s victory, said: “I had a flashback of his whole life and I looked up and he was world champion and he is 15. It is an unbelievable feeling.”
