Skype: rich.pulinRICH'S BIO
Rich Pulin began playing the Baritone Horn, switching to the Trombone after seeing "The Glen Miller Story" starring Jimmy Stewart, as Glenn Miller,....At the age of 18, through a series of events, he met legendary
Trumpeter Dalton Smith. Dalton, in turn, referred Rich to Woody Herman pianist-arranger, Nat Pierce.
Nat wasted no time and escorted Rich to Nola Rehearsal studio, to sit in with Charlie Barnett's band,
coincidentally minus a trombone that day! Barnett's band included bass-trombonist-composer-arranger
John Woehrmann and the inimitable Trumpeter-Flugelhornist Clark Terry!
Woehrmann was so impressed with Rich's playing, he recommended him for an audition,which
led to a job with the Tommy Dorsey Band under the direction of Warren Covington!
Subsequently,he played the 1st trombone and jazz soloist chairs with the bands of: Johnny Long, Richard Maltby, Buddy Morrow, Les & Larry Elgart, Tony Pastor, The Jimmy Dorsey band under Lee Castle,The Al Grey/Billy Mitchell(Tenor Sax)Sextet, Slam Stewart's Band, The Dave Pike Set, Woody Herman's 'Herd' and friend and mentor Clark Terry's first big band at the Half Note!
Rich was a charter member of CT's Big Bad Band, which was a co-venture that Clark led with assistance from alto-saxophonist Phil Woods, and trombonist/arranger Melba Liston. Clark's band was a collection of all-stars including guys like Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Gene Quill, Randy Brecker, Jimmy Owens, Ron Carter, Grady Tate, and Nat Pierce...
Following the gig with CT, Rich wound up in the Netherlands, and wasn't seen or heard from again for seven years. He married one of only 3 female recording producers, with The Philips-Phonogram Company. Their first co-production was a son, Yasha....
Rich became a part of the recording scene in Holland and all over Europe participating in hundreds of sessions as a Trombonist, composer/arranger,conductor, vocalist and producer...
Rich was a featured
member of the legendary Dutch cabaret artist Toon Herman's American One Man Show, soloist in the ex-patriot band led by trumpeter/arranger Dusko Goykevich, which was based in Koln & Munich Germany and toured several times through the communist eastern bloc! Rich appeared on Dutch TV with the legendary Richard Harris, Joe Cocker and conducted an orchestra for Lulu, when "To Sir With Love" was a hit!
Rich was invited by vibraphonist, Dave Pike, to record on his first Dave Pike Set
in Hilversum Holland! (Coincidentally, he played on Dave's last cd, 'Peligrosso', recorded in LA!
Rich arranged and conducted for young Dutch star Anneke Konings first recordings and arranged for and conducted the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra at the Sopot (Poland)song festival.
His song "Boogie Woogie Woman" was certified platinum in Europe!
Since his return to the U.S, (L.A.), he appeared first with Glen Campbell and The Supremes in Hawaii, followed by numerous bands and performers, including
Art Pepper, Don Ellis, Ray Charles, and Tito Puente at the infamous Monterey Jazz Festival(1977) appearance(cd of that performance on Concord Records). Also in that same period, Rich's orchestra accompanied Debby Reynolds, Rosemarie, Bert Convey and Gary 'Radar' Burghof (from 'Mash')....
For the last few years, he's been concentrating his efforts on his career and the careers of his gifted daughter Brooke the recent recipient of a Masters Degree in music, summa cum laude, from Florida State University, life and writing partner Kristin McKnight-Pulin, 10 year old grandson, Jovanny, and 5 year old grandson, Kai....The Pulin's are currently on a songwriting 'roll' scoring lots of new music in multi-genres!
In addition to being blessed with wonderful, encouraging, and supportive parents, Helen and Hy Pulin, Rich was also "adopted" by a musician that he believes was tops on his instrument, tenor saxophone, and an icon in the field of jazz.........the inimitable Billy Mitchell.. "B" took Rich under his wing, and over the next fourty years they became best of friends (he had the honor and pleasure to gig and record with "B" both stateside and abroad). Billy's input, whether it pertained to music or life was plentiful and was always welcomed. Rich considers him his mentor and was honored that "B" thought of him as his protege.(other Billy Mitchell protege's include Charles McPherson, and Bobby Hutcherson). The Mitchell residence on Yale avenue in Rockville Centre, NY, was always a happy gathering place for musicians and other nice folk. Being "licensed" to "drop" the name Billy Mitchell over the years opened a lot of doors for Rich, and he will always be greatly indebted to him and cherish the memory of both Billy and his wonderful wife Marge.

"Giving Jazz Back to the Community, One Child at a Time"An Interview With Rich Pulin By Derek @ Learnivore Arts ..
Trombone legend, Rich Pulin, lets us in on his 60 years as a musician and why it's important for our children to be exposed to good music.
I recently had the good fortune to meet with Rich Pulin, who, after decades in the music industry as a writer, producer, composer and instrumentalist, has turned his efforts to a cause that combines the two things closest to his heart: children and jazz. Read on for the interview!
Follow Rich on Learnivore if you're looking for more of his jazz and other musical expertise or even updates on his current projects.
Even better, connect with Rich as an instructor on Learnivore. He has an incredible wealth of musical knowledge and insight to share!
Rich, tell me a little bit about yourself.
Rich: I was born and raised in New York City and Long Island, much of it in the town of Bethpage, NY. In 1960, I was chosen by the great trombone player Warren Covington to work with The Tommy Dorsey Band as bass trombonist. It was the beginning of my professional life as a musician... and I was only 18!
I'm currently living in Las Vegas because of my entertainment connections. One of my favorite studios is in Vegas and it's where my daughter, Brooke, and wife, Kristin, join me to make music together.
So you record music with your family?
Rich: Yes! Although I've always been into jazz, blues, and big band music, I've been opening myself up to new styles in the process of writing and recording with my family. My wife and daughter enjoy Americana, pop, country, latin and other styles, as do I. Even my grandson, Jovanny, is in on the act. He's been singing a wide variety of music in many genres. I do most of the writing and composition, and Kristin assists with lyrics on some songs! Brooke, who's just back from college, and finally has the time, has begun to do some writing of her own as well.
How did you first get into jazz? What were your influences?
Rich: I first started playing the baritone horn when I was 12. Previously, I "flunked" at piano and violin, but, for some reason, the horn worked out. When I was 13, I went with a buddy of mine to see the Glenn Miller Story and was instantly inspired. Suddenly, I didn't want to play baritone anymore: I HAD to play trombone! So my dad got me a trombone, just like that. And then every Friday, he started bringing home big band records. It's crazy, but I was actually listening to my future employer, The Tommy Dorsey Band, from the get-go. I also loved Maynard Ferguson, Louis Armstrong, Glenn Miller (obviously). And then through some sort of osmosis of listening to records, I actually started to play along with them.
You can't plan something like what happened to me. I got that trombone and I never looked back.
So what happened after that first gig touring with the Tommy Dorsey Band? How did you get from New York to Vegas?
Rich: I spent about seven years on the road touring with the Tommy Dorsey Band. Then it was on to other acts like Les & Larry Elgart, The Jimmy Dorsey Band, Woody Herman and was Clark Terry's first lead trombonist.
In 1968, I moved to Europe, married a Dutch record producer and worked on developing my songwriting and producing. I then wrote my biggest hit to date, "Boogie Woogie Woman" recorded by the band Livin' Blues in 1974. To be honest, I got a little greedy after that and decided I had to come back to the United States to try and see if my success in Europe would follow me. I haven't written another song of that magnitude, yet, but I'm working on it.
Another big moment for me was when my radio show, Pulin for Jazz, first aired in 1978. The show has been recently revived and we're back on from 12 Noon Until 2 PM (PST)(20:00 Europe) every Saturday live from Las Vegas!
So what compelled you to revive the radio show?
Rich: The reason I've revived the show is to support early childhood jazz education. That's the most important thing to me right now. We're accepting donations and sponsorships, which will go toward allowing senior jazz mentors like myself to go into public schools and places like the YMCA to teach kids about the origin of jazz: where it started, who the pioneers were, etc. And we play some of the great, original jazz music, so the new young listeners become familiar with the sound.
I'd love to hear more about your desire to be a jazz educator.
Rich: The truth is I'm focusing on this because few others are. I think there is a basic musical illiteracy amongst our children right now, not only in the US, but the world. I don't agree with our kids being inundated with music that espouses violence, hostility, racism, drug usage, etc. and kids don't have any clue as to what else is actually out there. Good music education has to start early. We visit a lot of schools because it's important to get the word out and I think Learnivore can be another way to reach more people. Children and jazz are both on the endangered species list; I'm just trying to educate as many people as I can. Long live the children... and long live jazz!
So in a society where kids are used to getting music that is often loud and crude and lacking in strong messages, how do you get them interested?
Rich: It's actually really easy. The first time I present to a group, I do "Louis Armstrong 101"... because he's where it started, he's the common denominator, the stamp engraved on everyone that all that followed him. He is very funny, always smiling and his voice is amazing! The kids can't help but love Pops right away! They know nothing of his music and yet when they see Louis, they fall in love with him and they fall in love with jazz. I present him to adults, kids, anyone and everyone. I just turn on Louis Armstrong and I don't have to say another darn word!
What was your greatest moment as a musician?
Rich: I co-wrote a song with legendary jazz trumpeter, Clifford Brown, posthumously, entitled "La Rue." La Rue was his wife, and requested that I write lyrics to Clifford's instrumental version. Once she heard my lyric, she was touched and told me that somehow, uncannily, I had managed to write things only known to she and Clifford!
I'm relating to 60 years as a professional musician, so there are a lot of great moments. I played as the jazz trombone soloist in Tito Puente's band at the Monterrey Jazz Festival in 1977.
I was also chosen by Clark Terry to play in his inaugural big band as the lead trombonist. There were also some fabulous gigs in that 10 year European period, sandwiched between Clark and Tito, too!
Is there anything else you're doing currently that you'd like people to know about?
Rich: I'm actually putting the finishing touches on the new book for kids called Hippo D. Hop. I wrote it for my daughters when they were little, but then recently I got together with an amazing illustrator and we decided to publish it! I can't tell you too much about it yet, but it's geared toward kindergarten through third grade and is intended to inspire kids to persevere, sort of like a modern "Little Engine That Could".
We also just wrote and recorded two new songs that will also be included on a cd with the book. It's really exciting!
What would people who identify you solely as a jazz educator be surprised to learn about you?
Rich: I do love to exercise. I joined a gym and I exercise regularly. My wife, kids and grandkids said they want me around as long as they can.
Honestly, I'm always amazed by the things I'm still able to do with my life. People should think of it as their job to make the world a better place, it should be their priority. In my position, I'm attempting to rescue children and an art form, I spend much of my life working toward that goal. I'm just doing my part.

To Whom It May Concern:
As an longtime committed early childhood music educator and researcher, I strongly
endorse Rich Pulin as a leading jazz educator, especially for young children. The
difference between exposing children to music early in life, as opposed to later, cannot
be overstated. I completely share in his vision to bring some of the world's best music to
little ears as early and as often as is practical through his well-conceived program.
I also recognize Rich Pulin as an exceptionally talented and accomplished jazz
musician. Having heard his original music, I sense a jazz composer who has expanded
his musical horizons to include the very best in music, whatever the style or origin. His
depth of understanding of his craft contributes greatly to his effectiveness as an
I believe among the best examples of Mr. Pulin's devotion to children and music
education is the extraordinary musical achievement seen in his daughter, Brooke Pulin,
Masters of Music Degree (Summa), Florida State University, and his grandson,
Jovanny, who with Grandpa Rich's help, learned and recorded-with orchestral
accompaniment-four relatively difficult pieces despite being only 5 and 6 years old!
After having had the pleasure of getting to know Mr. Pulin well, one thing becomes
abundantly clear: he is extraordinarily passionate about having the opportunity to pass
on an understanding of the rich history ol lazz-and the music-to children. As the
owner of a library of over 20,000 historical jazz videos, he is a unique and powerful
resource for helping children gain an appreciation of iazz, America's extraordinary
contribution to music and the world.
ln his program, Mr. Pulin delivers an enlightening, entertaining, and esteem-building,
fast-paced video travelogue from which even very young children learn to understand
our American musical culture and heritage. ln the end, they have an experience to
thoroughly enjoy and a cultural tradition to be proud of!
I strongly endorse and applaud Rich for his indomitable spirit to tackle a vision we
should feel obliged to deliver to our children, let alone the preservation of iazz itself.
Sincerely yours,
Eric P. Rasmussen
Chair, Early Childhood Music Department

Welcome to the home of Friends of Foster Kids, a Macomb County, Michigan, based charity whose goal is to help our community's foster children.
Friends of Foster Kids (FOFK) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in Macomb County, Michigan in 2008.
We provide a "Christmas" for foster children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect and placed in temporary housing or shelters.
From Macomb County alone there are approximately 900 children in foster care each year. Many of these children have never experienced the joy of receiving a gift at Christmas.
In a season for family, granting a child's wish speaks softly of unconditional love form people who care.
Learn more about Friends of Foster Kids and here the testimonial from one of our first foster children we supported, please watch our video: HERE
If you would like to contact us, please email us at
Follow us on Twitter and Like us on Facebook!
Foster care case workers provide us with the first names, ages, gender, sizes, and "wish lists", for the foster kids they supervise. Donors are asked to provide a child with gifts of clothing and things of interest, such as toys, games or items from their wish list. Each child makes up a wish list of their special wants or needs, as they have no one to provide for them. Their needs range from underwear, boxers, winter coats and hoodies, to towels, sheets and pillows of their own. Duffle bags are also a must, as these children often live out of plastic bags. Your gifts for each child must be wrapped and labeled with the child's first name, age and the case workers code number. The gifts are distributed to the foster care worker, who hand delivers the gifts directly to the child.
Be SANTA for a "foster kid" this year...every year...and tell one or two of your friends!
We have focused our services on four key programs: Christmas, College, Cars, and Care. Friends of Foster Kids has expanded its services to lend a hand to the older children as they become young adults, going off to college and learning to live independently. Without the support of family, we help them by meeting some of their needs.
FOFK provides Christmas for foster children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect and placed in temporary housing or shelters. FOFK fulfills each child's wish list with new items wrapped with care and then works to ensure timely delivery for Christmas.
FOFK provide foster children entering college, with a care package containing essentials they need to transition to dormitory living and start their college career.
FOFK as a trusted partner with the State of Michigan Youth Opportunities Initiative Program advances the funds necessary for the purchase of a vehicle for a qualified foster child.
FOFK is a network of caring volunteers like you, working together to make a difference in a foster child's life. Helping provide for the needs of a child coming into care on an individual basis, and building awareness of the needs of foster children.
Friends of Foster Kids is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This volunteer organization is made of people from all walks of life. People just like you, that want to make a difference in a child's world. We are "Friends of Foster Kids". Foster kids are children that, through no fault of their own, have been removed from their homes, due to neglect or abuse, and placed in temporary housing. These events happen so quickly, that often times the children have no opportunity to gather their belongings. Basic things such as clothing, underwear, a pillow...things we take for granted...toothpaste, photos...little things that help them feel safe and secure. We try to help...We let them know they are not alone...they are not forgotten.
There is no funding or special program that can help. We need your help.
Friends of Foster Kids depends on the help and support of individuals and organizaitons who wish to make a difference in a child's life.
The needs are simple...clothing, personal care items, pillows, blankets, duffle bags, toys and games, or a special request of the child.
Help a child who...
Specific gifts are given for each child to show that they are valued and cared about during the Holiday season.
There are many stories but I will share this one for now...
A young lady, 20 years old, and about to (what they refer to as) "age out", was one of our gift recipients our first year. Having no expectations, she had provided a wish list to her foster care case worker. When she was handed a stack of gifts, carefully wrapped with satin ribbon and bows she began to cry. You see, her mother was a crack addict and she was removed from her home at the age of 3. For 17 years she was in foster care and never placed in a permanent home. Over the years, she had watched as other children got Christmas gifts. This was the first time that she ever received gifts of her own. "I received everything I asked for", she said again and again with tears falling from her eyes. She was so grateful to not have been forgotten. It gave her such hope. We can know that the love from a giving heart will have a positive impact on the life of a child. Just to know that someoone cares.

COVINGTON -- The Newton County Sheriff's Office made two arrests this week in connection with two separate reports of sexual assault.
Donald Keith Patterson, 32, of 65 Riverbrooke Trail faces charges of child molestation, aggravated child molestation and sexual battery.
A 15-year-old baby sitter told her parents about the alleged assault and they notified authorities, according to NCSO spokesman Lt. Keith Crum.
Crum said the girl was staying at the suspect's house until the early morning hours with his children.
"She called her parents after the incident and they came and picked her up," Crum said.
Patterson said the assault consisted of "inappropriate touching."
In other crime news, 19-year-old Jaquon Marquevious Giles of 5925 Bretton Woods Drive, Lithonia, has been charged with rape in connection with an assault that allegedly took place in May.
Crum said a 17-year-old female was taken to the hospital by her parents who reported the rape approximately a month after the incident and the NCSO was notified.
He said the young girl said she had met Giles through Facebook and they had met in person by mutual arrangement. Later on she invited him to her residence where the assault allegedly occurred.
"We investigated the allegations and arrested Giles," Crum said.

CopyTrans Doctor1.76
editor's review
1 comment
buy now $29.99
CopyTrans Doctor comes in handy when you want to restore songs that have been deleted from an iPod or when you want to repair various issues related to the device.
The program specializes in repairing the most frequent problems that might affect an iPod, including song database malfunctions and complications that might have resulted from physical shocks or improper unplugging.
However, it is important to mention that CopyTrans Doctor cannot deal with severely damaged devices, as its aim is to scan and fix the software aspect of the iPod. Its repair algorithms are pretty modern and swift, but they cannot work miracles.
CopyTrans Doctor is brought inside a portable archive, which rules out an installation process to the befit of the end user, who can place it on a removable drive and launch it on any computer. The interface is rather plain, but intuitive and interactive.
During startup, the program automatically detects the devices connected to your computer and provides two major options insofar as the repair process is concerned. The first one carries out a diagnostic operation and checks the iPod integrity, while also looking for lost songs or items that are hidden.
The second one deals with deleted files exclusively and scans through the connected iPod thoroughly in order to identify songs that have been accidentally or unwillingly erased. The retrieved items can be restored on the spot, on a location of your choice.
To conclude, CopyTrans Doctor acts as a remedy for an unresponsive or broken iPod device. It does recover missing content and moreover, it can refurbish a damaged Apple gadget to a working condition.

Learn about Windows PowerShell
Hey, Scripting Guy! In my logon script how can I determine the name of the domain controller that authenticated the user?-- CK
Hey, CK. You know, one of the unwritten rules for being a Scripting Guy is that you should never do anything hard more than once a week. (Why is this an unwritten rule? Mainly because we were all too lazy to write it down.) In yesterday's column we tackled the somewhat complicated issue of trying to associate an IP address with a network connection. Because yesterday's column was hard, the unwritten laws for being a Scripting Guy pretty much compel us to take an easy question today.
So how easy could it be to determine the name of the domain controller that authenticated the logged-on user? As easy as three lines of code:
Set objDomain = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE")
strDC = objDomain.Get("dnsHostName")
Wscript.Echo "Authenticating domain controller: " & strDC
No, you're not dreaming; this really does take just three lines of code. (And even if you were dreaming, well, do you really want to admit that you dream about scripting?) We begin by binding to rootDSE, which represents the root of the Active Directory service on a domain controller. The rootDSE object exists to provide information about a domain and a domain controller; in fact, one piece of information rootDSE provides is the value of the dnsHostName property.
That might not be the most intuitive property name in the world, but dnsHostName is the name of the authenticating domain controller. Consequently we use the Get method to retrieve the value of the dnsHostName attribute and store that value in a variable named strDC. Echo back the value of strDC and we've determined the name of the domain controller that authenticated the user.
And now, having presented our three-line script, our work for today is done. If you need anything we'll be at home watching the Jerry Springer Show
Follow on question, suppose I use
Set UserOBJ = GetObject("LDAP://CN=Joe.User,OU=Users,DC=My_Domain,DC=ORG")
How can I determine which DC was used when UserOBJ is established?
thank you
This is great for finding out on the local computer of the DC who authenticated but what I want is the list of all users in AD to show which DC last authenticated which user. In another words I want to who was authenticated by what DC. Any idea without
having to parse all event logs of all DC? Why didn't the AD team add an attribute in AD to keep track of this useful information. Are they so short sided group of people who built the AD? I hate to think of that!!!

Psych: Weekend Warriors
(S01E06) Secretary: There's a Lieutenant Crunch here to see you.
Gus: Lieutenant Crunch?
Shawn: Actually, I've been promoted. It's Captain Crunch now.
At first I thought this wasn't going to be a good episode of Psych. There was a big focus on Detective Lassiter at the beginning of the show and it looked like it was going to be one of those team-ups where Lassiter learns a little from Shawn and Gus, and vice-versa. But, that was not the case at all. Once again, it was pretty much Shawn and Gus the whole way. Not only that, but it was one of the best episodes of the series so far.
To briefly summarize: a murder occurs at a Civil War re-enactment where Lassiter portrays a colonel in the Union Army. While the police think it was an accident, Shawn knows better: the murdered man's tunic shows that a bullet went right through his heart. Shawn and Gus join the re-enactors to find the real killer.
This episode had it all. Shawn, while still zany, was a bit more subdued this week than in previous shows. Perhaps this was because he was upset that a former schoolmate and re-enactor was being blamed for the murder. He also got to really show off his observation skills. In one scene he was able to recreate, from memory, a display of the re-enactment battlefield from something he saw for only two minutes at the police station. It hearkened back to the first episode of the series.
Meanwhile, Gus was on his game as well. After last week's whine fest by Mr. Burton I was hoping for some more meat for the character. There was a lot less whining this week and more use of the intelligence that has been briefly been seen in other episodes. He even stood up for himself a few times. In one scene he gets into Shawn's face when he tries to figure out what role he will play in the re-enactment. In another scene he tells the murderer to be quiet. I hope we see more of this Gus in future episodes rather than the whining one of the past.
This week we also saw a bit more of the budding partnership (some would say friendship) between the Psych detectives and Juliet O'Hara. Early in the show we see her talking with Shawn and Gus while they watch Lassiter practice a Civil War battle. Later in the show we have a fairly lengthy scene between all three of them when Shawn finds out who the killer is and needs someone to be the bait. I don't think I'd like to see a romance between Shawn and Juliet (he's pretty much a skirt chaser anyway), but I'd certainly like to see more interaction between the two characters. Frankly, I think she's being a bit under-utilized.
Finally, we had the return of Henry Spencer to Shawn's present day activities. Most episodes have begun with little scenes between Henry and Shawn as a young boy. These scenes usually set up the theme for the episode. This week we saw more of the connection they have now. Henry is even more harsh on Shawn now then he was in the past. Shawn, while suave and witty with others, is a bit awkward and less sure of himself when around his Dad. I wish we could see more interaction between these two characters.
Okay, here's the nitpick of the week. In the scene where Gus asks what role he will play in the Civil War re-enactment, Shawn lays it down thick by saying 'Think Glory. Think Denzel.' He then goes on to say that Gus could even be a pilot. Gus responds 'The Air Force wasn't created until World War One.' Well, not quite. The United States Air Force wasn't formed as a separate branch of the military until 1947. Back in World War One they were part of the Air Service of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF). They became part of the Army Air Corps in the 1920's, and eventually became the Army Air Forces during World War Two. And, before you say this has nothing to do with the plot, I agree. However, it does take away from the credibility of Gus' character, who is supposedly very smart.

VA Disability Benefits:
Routine Monitoring of Disability Decisions Could Improve Consistency
GAO-06-120T: Published: Oct 20, 2005. Publicly Released: Oct 20, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7207
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The House Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs asked GAO to discuss its work on the consistency of disability compensation claims decisions of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). GAO has reported wide state-to-state variations in average compensation payments per disabled veteran, raising questions about decisional consistency. In 2003, GAO designated VA's disability programs, along with other federal disability programs, as high risk, in part because of concerns about decisional consistency. Illustrating this issue, GAO reported that inadequate information from VA medical centers on joint and spine impairments contributed to inconsistent regional office disability decisions.
GAO's November 2004 report explained that adjudicators in the Department of Veterans Affairs often must use judgment in making disability compensation claims decisions. As a result, it is crucial for VA to have a system for routinely identifying the effect of judgment on decisional variations among its 57 regional offices to determine if the variations are reasonable and, if not, how to correct them. In 2002, GAO reported that state-to-state variations of as much as 63 percent in average compensation payments per disabled veteran indicated potential inconsistency. The nature of the criteria that adjudicators must apply in evaluating the degree of impairment due to mental disorders provides an example of the extent of judgment required. GAO's October 2005 report on decisions for joint and spine disabilities showed one important way to improve consistency. Specifically, regional offices often rely on VA's 157 medical centers to examine claimants and provide medical information needed to decide the claims. However, VA has found inconsistency among its medical centers in the adequacy of their joint and spine disability exam reports that regional offices need to decide these claims. As of May 2005, the percentage of exam reports containing the required information varied across the medical centers from a low of 57 percent to a high of 92 percent. This could adversely affect the consistency of disability claims decisions involving joint and spine impairments. Although VA has made substantial progress, more remains to be done to improve the level of consistency in the disability exam reports.

BEN BOVA: March 13, 2011 ... Thanks to Daniels and the Phil, we were drawn to Naples
The announcement that Myra Janco Daniels will retire as head of the Naples Philharmonic Center for the Arts leaves me feeling sad. Despite her physical stature, Myra is a giant.
Under her hard-driving leadership, what was once a local orchestra has become one of the outstanding symphonic orchestras in our state. I may be prejudiced, but I think the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra ranks near the top of all the nation's symphony orchestras.
I am also saddened to learn that Maestro Jorge Mester is leaving the Phil. Under his direction, the orchestra has grown better, able to tackle more difficult and rewarding works. I wish him happiness and success in all his future endeavors.
As I've said before, I think the symphony orchestra is one of the highest achievements of the human race. Some 80 or more individual musicians, each a master of his or her instrument, work together to produce music that no individual could produce. That's humankind at its finest: people working cooperatively to go beyond what any single person could accomplish.
A symphony orchestra is a kind of time machine, too, bringing to our ears the works of composers who lived centuries ago. We can hear Beethoven and Bach, Ravel and Rimsky-Korsakov as if they were still alive. And they are, in a sense, through their music.
I grew up with the Philadelphia Orchestra, mainly under the long-term direction of Eugene Ormandy. I could only afford the least-expensive seats in the Academy of Music, 'way up in the peanut gallery. But I saved my money so I could buy those tickets and listen to the best music ever written.
I won't make comparisons, but to me the Naples Philharmonic brings the same delight, the same thrill of excitement. The orchestra is one of Naples' finest attractions.
One of the reasons my late wife and I decided to settle in Naples, 30-some years ago, was the Phil. The orchestra — and the other quality performances that Daniels brought to Naples — was a magnet of art and sophistication that made Naples much more attractive than many other places.
It happened this way.
We were living in Connecticut in the early 1980s. A division of the IBM Corp. invited me to speak about future energy technology at a meeting of their management team. The meeting was held at the Marriott Beach Resort on Marco Island.
We found Marco Island to be delightful. This was, of course, before it became so heavily built up.
My talk went well, and the following year a different division of IBM asked me to come back to Marco Island to give the same lecture to its management people. My wife and I enjoyed our previous visit so much that we stayed at the Marriott for a week.
The next year nobody invited me to Marco Island, but we decided to go anyway. We rented a condo on the beach for the month of March, which can be a brutal month in Connecticut.
One thing led to another. We came to Marco every year, for longer and longer periods. At last we decided to buy a place and live full-time in Southwest Florida.
By this time we had discovered what was then called the Naples-Marco Island Philharmonic Orchestra. And we had met Myra Janco Daniels.
She was then building the Philharmonic Center for the Arts in Pelican Bay.
We decided to buy our home in Naples, to be closer to the Phil and its many offerings of entertainment and education. Lots of other people did too.
That's how we became Naples residents. The Southwest Florida climate enticed us out of Connecticut, but it was the Phil that made us decide on Naples.
I think the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra has grown to the position where it will continue to thrive without Daniels sitting in her box seat at every performance. I don't know who will replace Mester, but the orchestra is on a solid footing. Our thanks to the maestro.
But most of all, thank you, Myra. You've been a major contributor to this community. We'll miss you.

Question from Masterchief-118
How do I get the Power Armor Training?
Ok so I did the
5 years ago
After u get Dr. Li to the citadel ask Elder Lyons about training and then go talk to gunny to get the training.
5 years ago
You can get it by talking to the gunnery sgt in the citadel. Also if you have Op. Anchorage you get it automatically after the simulation.
5 years ago
As early on in game as u can complete Operation anchorage (dlc) its not hard+totaly worth it. When completed u can access the locked door opposite- close it as soon as u go in+pick up the unique power armor+that's ur power armor training done!
And its the best+strongest armour in the entire game!
However nxt to it is the Chinese Stealth Armour which wen equipt + crouching u become invisible. That's all the apparel ul need in the game- supreme combat tactics follow!
4 years ago
2 ways. 1. after completeing operation anchorage. 2. after you get doctor li to the citadel. Then talk to lyons about the training. THEN you go talk to gunny to get it. Btw killer71985 the winterized T-51b power armor that you can recieve after operation anchorage is not the strongest in the game. The two strongest power armors in the game are:
enclave hellfire armor
T-51b power armor (this version is at fort constantine and can only be obtained once you have all of the keys. There is a quest for tracking them down. The quest is called "you gotta shoot'em in the head".)
4 years ago
You Have To Be Able To Go To Musum Of Technology Then There Should Be An Scientist You Talk To Him To Give You Permission Then Go Find Gunny And He Will Give You Traning And Thats All
4 years ago
Wait Im Sorry What I Said Before Ok After You Beat A Quest Then You Go To The Cidal(sorry cant spell it) Ask Elder Lyons To Give You Permission For Power Armor Traning Then You Find Paldin Gunny And He Will Give You Power Armor Traning

ECB Should Ease Monetary Policy Amid Fiscal Woes, Mundell Says
Aug. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Nobel-prize winning economist Robert Mundell, whose research contributed to creation of the euro, said the European Central Bank should ease monetary policy.
"Given the fiscal situation that countries have, I think that it would be better if the central bank followed an easier monetary policy," Mundell told reporters in Lindau, Germany. He added that he didn't "agree with Trichet's decision to raise interest rates" this year.
Mundell said that the situation in the euro area is "very dangerous" and the single currency could "go down the drain" if politicians didn't act to contain the crisis.

Emergency officials 'getting ready to get ready' for Tropical Storm Isaac
Emergency officials are stocking shelters, reviewing hurricane plans and urging residents to prepare as Tropical Storm Isaac barrels toward Florida.
If projections hold, Isaac could hit Southwest Florida as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday. If the storm comes ashore near Naples, as forecasters currently predict, it would be the first hurricane to hit the coast since Wilma in 2005 and the first since Collier County's new emergency services center opened in 2009.
"We are very well postured to respond," said Dan Summers, Collier County's emergency services director. "We drill frequently."
Isaac now has some company out in the Atlantic after new tropical depression formed Wednesday afternoon. If it intensifies and becomes a named storm, the system — the 10th this year — would be Tropical Storm Joyce.
It is hard to predict where Isaac will hit days before the hurricane is expected to make landfall, Summers said. Officials deployed supplies this week to county shelters, which are typically located at local schools, so the equipment is on site should the shelters become necessary, he said.
"Our plans right now are to re-evaluate midday (Thursday) and likely we will pull some of our agencies for a briefing (Thursday) afternoon," he said. "The whole issue is how it behaves over Cuba as to whether we are going to have something tropical or subtropical or hurricane in nature."
The new emergency services center is expected to help officials respond should Isaac hit Collier County. The state-of-the-art center on Lely Cultural Parkway is 17.5 feet above sea level and has been rated to withstand the strongest hurricane.
"It's not like the olden days when we crammed 80 people in a room for 13. We have the space, the new tools and technology," Summers said. "It will make us much more efficient and effective in the storm response. We would hate to use it, but we're darn glad we have it."
Gerald Campbell, the chief of planning for Lee County Emergency Management, said Lee County officials are also monitoring the storm.
"We're going over initial plans, but basically, we're getting ready to get ready," he said. "Hopefully, the storm will turn and we can all go home, but it is not looking that way."
Forecasts expect Isaac to be a Category 1 hurricane as it hits Cuba on Sunday, said Jennifer Colson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Tampa. It is expected to be downgraded to a tropical storm as it crosses Cuba, and become a Category 1 hurricane again as it approaches Florida.
Colson said hurricanes tend to dissipate as they move over land because of an increase in friction. Once the storm is over open water, she said, it can rebuild and strengthen.
"There is still some variability (in the path of the storm) because it's days away," she said. "I wouldn't say Naples is under a bull's eye."
A tropical storm becomes a Category 1 hurricane when its winds near the center reach 74 miles per hour. Average wind speed for a Category 1 hurricane is 74 to 95 miles per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The center says a Category 1 hurricane can damage roofs, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters of well-constructed frame houses. The winds can snap large branches of trees, topple shallowly-rooted trees, damage power lines and poles and lead to power outages, according to the center.
State Emergency Management Director Bryan Koon said it is too early to tell how Florida will be affected, but said the state is likely to see some impact. Still, he said there is no reason visitors should cancel their plans to come to the Republican National Convention, which is slated to start Monday in Tampa.
Koon said he has been in constant contact with Republican officials about the storm threat. He also said there may be no need for evacuation in downtown Tampa even if a Category 1 hurricane was approaching. Much of the area around the convention site is low-lying and near the water.
"I am confident in our preparation, and the decision process in place to ensure the safety of both our residents and visitors during the convention," Gov. Rick Scott said in a prepared statement. "As Florida's governor, I'm urging everyone across the state to monitor the storm track, and use the next several days to prepare for a potential storm."
Residents should monitor media in the coming days and stock their hurricane kits, Summers said. He also suggested residents have a plan to get out of the storm's path should it become necessary.
"Other than that, we'll just have to wait and see," he said.
Campbell urged residents to "stay alert and aware" of what's happening.
"Hurricanes are a fact of life in Florida," he said. "Check your supplies, check your plans, make sure you are ready to take protective action if needed. If and when evacuations orders are needed, heed those orders."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 184.108.40.206
Forum Moderators: mack
Yes, I just noticed that too.
I think dvduval is right, the results are from Yahoo Inktomi but I can't recall if they were ever once so similar to one another for Yahoo and MSN like this time.
It looks like MSN has dropped its own former calculating ingredients and use that of Yahoo instead.
The current MSN serp is different from those in tech preview.
So, in highly competative industries which utlize PFI, there is going to be a difference in results where as industries which don't utlize PFI, the results will be closer.
I have not seen any real hard evidence of this however.
Depending the the keyword(s) used, could this difference be contribued to the way MSN handles stemming versus Yahoo!? If Yahoo! uses a more aggresive (if that is the right word) stemming approach than MSN, you would naturally see a larger set of results.
Just an idea.

Screen Marker0.10.2065.33828
editor's review
1 comment
If you're in the middle of a presentation and can't point out the areas of the screen where you want the audience to focus, then this tool should come in handy. Screen Marker is a small utility that can be used to write over the desktop.
The program has a very simple interface that shouldn't be difficult to figure out.
As mentioned, Screen Marker can be used to make annotations over the screen. This can come in handy if you want to point out various things over the screen while making a presentation to your coworkers or friends.
The app enables you to pick any color from a group of swatches. Additional custom shades can be added and used instead. In order to quickly access these, you have to click middle mouse button or click the colored square from the interface.
Changing the color is possible at any time, not only when the program isn't active.
Once you enable the app, the mouse turns into your personal marker. In order to draw or write over the desktop, you must hold down the left mouse button. Clearing the canvas can be done by pressing the right mouse button or by disabling the tool.
The bottom line is that Screen Marker is a nice program that can be quite useful. Individual with little to no experience should find it easy to work with, thanks to the intuitive layout and the app's overall simplicity.

The Game
Straight Pool, also called 14.1 continuous or simply 14.1, is a pocket billiards game, and was the common sport of championship competition until overtaken by faster-playing games like nine-ball (and to a lesser extent eight-ball).
In straight pool, the shooter may attempt to pocket any ball on the table. The object is to reach a set number of points determined by agreement before the game. One point is scored for each ball pocketed where no foul is made. A typical game might require a player to score 125 points, meaning at least 125 balls must be pocketed to win. In professional competition, straight pool is usually played to 150 points. Straight pool is a call-pocket game, meaning the player must indicate the intended object ball and pocket on every shot. How the ball reaches the pocket is irrelevant, as long as the called ball enters the called pocket (except on a foul shot).
The game was formerly the dominant pool game in the United States, and immortalized in the 1961 film The Hustler. The game remains well known in the United States, Europe, Argentina, Japan and the Philippines, but is more obscure elsewhere. The first WPA-sanctioned World Straight Pool Championship was held in 2006 (the winner was Germany's Thorsten Hohmann, a player who also won the world nine-ball title three years earlier). Possibly as a consequence of this renewed professional competitive attention, public interest in the game has undergone a resurgence, as reflected in the amount of coverage 14.1 now receives in the billiards press. (from wikipedia).
We are fortunate, in MN, to have a straight pool league in the Twin Cities area (Shooters Billiards in Burnsville) and several pool rooms to play this time-honored pocket billiards game

"Men typically have this test after they turn 50 years old, and it can spot a tumor that may not cause a problem in a man's lifetime if left untreated. It could be more likely that a man will die from heart disease or some other ailment before his prostate cancer would kill him," Torkko said.
"At this point, it is not possible to accurately tell which tumors will be the more aggressive ones with our current screening tests. This means that we may be screening and treating some men unnecessarily," she noted.
