Umphrey's Mcgee, Niles Riverfront Amphitheater, Niles, MI- 9/19
It had all the makings of a perfect Umphrey's show. It was in Niles, MI hometown of guitarist Jake Cinninger and the neighbor to the north of the band's birthplace: South Bend, IN. It was at a great venue a new amphitheater in a beautiful downtown riverfront park. It was their special RIP show, in which the band was going to retire a few old songs that they had not played in a while. And it was a free show. But, thanks to an old local ordinance and some overbearing police officers, the RIP show was given an early death.
After opening the show with the hard riffs and hip hop flavor of "Push the Pig" and the thumping bass line of "Dump City," the show really took off as the September 11 inspired "The Haunt" segued into an up-tempo, trance oriented "Jimmy Stewart." These improv sessions are incorporated into almost every show and frequently turn into raging jams like the one heard tonight. Next, came a couple of songs which had not been played at all this year until earlier this month, The Beatles' "Baby, You're a Rich Man" and the old school fan favorite "Slacker." "Slacker" proved to be one of the night's best moments. And it was nice to see that Brendan Bayliss and Joel Cummings came through with their "Slacker" forecast for the Niles show, which they called out months ago at their solo acoustic gig. This particular version featured a spacey funk jam after the song's lyrical section that sounded a little like that of Phish's "Ghost." After a few minutes of the funk they launched right back into final section of the song led by some great guitar work by Bayliss. Umphrey's finished up the set with another old favorite "All in Time." I don't know if it was because of the great sound (this was the best I can remember hearing at an outdoor show) or just exceptionally crisp playing, but it was the best version of this song in recent memory. Kris Myers laid down a great solo and Cinninger and Bayliss were on top of their game as they traded licks to close out the song.
After a short set break, the band made it back to the stage and announced that their next song had been sold to the likes of Obie Trice and the Blue Oyster Cult. Making the audience believe that their second set opener may be the first retired song of the night. But, instead they unleashed the high-energy Led Zeppelin tune "The Song Remains The Same." For anyone who has not got the chance to see Umphrey's McGee, they are a band that does justice to the covers that they play whether it is Zeppelin, Marley, or The Police. Up next was the first retired song of the evening, "Bob." This was the song's first appearance since 10-12-00 and it left me wondering why. The crowd was really into it; I even heard mumblings of people hoping for a resurrection of this song already. When the song was finished, Bayliss leaned into the mic and simply said, "DEAD." They followed with one of their heavyweights the fast-paced, dance inducing instrumental "Nothing Too Fancy." This is one of the songs that has benefited from Myers break beat drum abilities since he joined the band at the beginning of this year. It was starting out to be a great rendition; the energy of the up-tempo song was successfully transferred into the crowd. But, about five minutes in, manager Vince Iwinski made his way on to the stage and had a few words with the band. At around 10:00 p.m., in the middle of an intense jam they came to an abrupt stop and announced that they were breaking the law. The crowd was in shock 2.5 songs into the second set and they were done? With everyone still hanging around in front of the amphitheater wondering what had just happened, keyboardist Joel Cummings came back out and apologized to those who had made a long trip to see the show. According to Iwinski, the Niles Police Department said that the show was too loud and that after receiving a number of complaints, the local law enforcement officials had determined it was disturbing the peace. If the show was not shut down, arrests were going to follow starting with the band. There was no attempt on the part of the police to discuss Niles' legal decibel level, even though the Umphrey's sound crew had a decibel reader and kept the PA at a presumably legal level. The concert had an audience of over 1,000 people most likely the largest audience the new amphitheater had ever seen, causing me to wonder – isn't the point of building a new amphitheater to attract people to the downtown area? The show was only scheduled to go for another hour and if they could have finished, it would have been a complete success. While I thoroughly enjoyed the music that I got to see, it was on pace to be a classic show. If they expect to have successful concerts at this venue in the future, they may have to let the music go past 10:00 p.m. on a Friday night.

Ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, helps fuel most of the cars in the United States. Ethanol also fuels your brew. Beer ran on ethanol long before your car did — at least five and perhaps nine solid millennia before. That said, although gas is cheaper than gose, don't get any ideas, kids.
Ethanol, grain alcohol, pure alcohol and drinking alcohol are but different terms for ethyl alcohol, one of the primary byproducts of the fermentation of sugar. It has no color, it's flammable and, to the delight of countless throughout recorded history, it boasts a rather impressive psychoactive capacity.
How Much Alcohol is in Beer?
The amount of alcohol in beer varies according to the variety of the beer and decisions made during the brewing process. Modern brewers rely on tools developed in the field of chemistry to achieve their goals and provide us with pints consistent with the characteristics of their category and, too, with their own production from batch to batch.
Tools used to measure the alcohol content of beer, for example, will help ensure that your India Pale Ale doesn't develop alcohol levels more suited to an Imperial IPA, and thus compromise the balance of the brew; tools borrowed from the chemist also ensure that the next bottle of IPA from a given brand will taste and feel the same as the one you enjoyed yesterday.
Measuring Specific, Original, and Terminal Gravity
Specific Gravity is the ratio of the density of one substance compared to the density of a reference substance. Pure water is the normal reference substance, assigned a specific gravity of 1.00 at 15.5C (60F). The simplest method for measuring Specific Gravity is to use a hydrometer.
A brewer is interested in Specific Gravity as well as Original Gravity, which is the measure of Specific Gravity taken on the wort prior to fermentation. Calculating Original Gravity reveals the level of sugar dissolved in the wort before fermentation. The brewer, then, knows how much sugar is available for conversion into alcohol during fermentation, and he also has a rough idea of how much alcohol the final brew will contain, although several other variables, such as temperature, can influence the amount of alcohol produced, too.
Specific gravity is measured post fermentation, too. Brewers refer to this as Terminal Gravity. Ethanol is always less dense than sugared water, such as the wort for beer. Terminal Gravity, therefore, will always be lower than Original Gravity, because Terminal Gravity measures a liquid that contains ethanol (which is less dense than water) and less sugar. The difference between Terminal Gravity and Original Gravity gives the brewer enough information to estimate the quantity of alcohol created as the maltose was converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide during fermentation.
Alcohol by Volume
Once the brewer knows his Original and Terminal Gravity, he can calculate the amount of alcohol in the beer he's made. It's a matter of arithmetic.
C.J.J. Berry developed the simplest method:
Alcohol by Volume = (Original Gravity _ Terminal Gravity) / 7.36
A sample calculation for beer will look like the following, based on the assumptions that 1.05= the amount of CO2 produced for every gram of ethanol produced and .79 is the density of ethanol alcohol:
ABV = ((1.05 * (Original Gravity – Terminal Gravity)) / Terminal Gravity) / 0.79 * 100
Why would a brewer be busy with hydrometers and pycnometers and calculators? Checking the decline in Specific Gravity during the brewing process gives the brewer information regarding the status of the fermentation. When the gravity stops declining, for example, fermentation has ceased, and it is time for the next phase of activity. If the gravity has declined too slowly, perhaps the yeast was inferior. To achieve his flavor goals, the brewer may feel inclined to permit a level of residual sugar in the wort.
Alcohol Content in Beer is Important for Other Reasons
Ethyl alcohol is not just for kicks in beer — its production triggers numerous other events chemical events that can influence the flavor, aroma, and texture of the brew, and beer makers keep a close eye on alcohol levels as a tool by which they can gauge the health of qualities of their work.

Dermot O'Leary says Louis Walsh is the "dirtiest" X Factor judge.
The 41-year-old host has revealed that although judges Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Louis Walsh, Mel B and Simon Cowell have been getting on well on the ITV talent show so far, he knows they won't hold back once they go head-to-head in the live shows later this year.
Speaking at the X Factor launch at London's Ham Yard Hotel, he said: "I'm going to have my hands full when it comes to the live shows because up until now they're sort of all playing for the same team, they all want to find 12 great acts but when we get to the final I know they're all going to play dirty.
"Louis is the dirtiest of them all."
Cheryl and Simon are making their return to the show after a three year absence - during which Simon acted as a mentor on the US version - but they've confessed it feels like they never left.
Cheryl said: "It's like I've never been away to be honest. It's like the last four years never happened and we're back to square one."
Simon added: "[I feel] exactly the same way, it was like those four years disappeared, it was fantastic."
Louis - who has been a mentor for all eleven series - admitted there was a much better atmosphere between the judges this year, following the departure of Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne.
He explained: "I think it's a different show, we're all having fun."
Meanwhile, Sarah Jane Crawford - who has taken over from Caroline Flack as presenter of the 'Xtra Factor' - insists Cheryl and Mel B have been getting on like a house on fire.
She revealed: "These two [Cheryl and Mel] are like besties by the way, they're always gossiping together."

Beautiful home and great example of grand mansions of the early lumber/oil fortunes of Pennsylvania history. Very good location to explore this region of PA, Craig & Jena will make you feel welcome for an enjoyable stay.

My wife and I stayed at this B&B for two nights while I was in town for training/work. The staff and room where both inviting and friendly; considering the outside temperatures were in the single digits with wind chills well below zero not once were we chilled in this enormous and tremendous house. The staff provided great insight on what to do and where to go given the weather and even made a great recommendation for Valentine's Day Eve dinner! At the same time, they were respectful of privacy and never once intruded. Our stay was pleasurable and memorable and we hope to one day visit this B&B again!

This was our first time staying at a B&B but Craig was super accommodating and made us feel comfortable from the get go! I can't even begin to tell you about the breakfast Jenni made us the following morning... SHOW UP HUNGRY! The house felt like you were staying in something truly historical, classy, and maybe even haunted (for the thrill seekers). I loved it and if I'm ever back in Warren, PA I will stay here again and try out a different room!!!

Quiet, safe, and cozy. We love old mini mansions and this place didn't let us down. We're probably going to go back again. Everyone, including everyone in town, really nice!

The Horton House was our first Bed & Breakfast experience and it couldn't of been more perfect. If we were to choose a favorite amenity, I would say Craig, Antonio and Jena. They were very friendly, accommodating and knew the history of the area which came in handy for our 6 days of exploring the area. Warren, PA is centrally located to many attractions: Home of Punxsutawney Phil, Allegheny National Forest, Rimrock Trail, Kinzua Dam, Kinzua Bridge, Presque Isle and Panama Rocks. When we weren't exploring nature, we were very close to area restaurants, wineries and had a fantastic experience visiting Southern Tier Brewery Company. Chatauqua Lake is just a hop, skip and a jump away where Lucille Ball was born and raised. Jamestown, NY has a museum dedicated to her life and if we had more time, we would of loved to experience but settled on viewing her childhood home in Celeron, NY. So much to do and so little time...we look forward to revisiting the area and will hopefully be able to stay at Horton House B & B. Mike & Paula Ocean City, MD

This was a great place to stay in Northwest PA. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful fall weekend during our stay, as well. The room was cozy and comfy. I am a history nerd, so staying in a house and a town with so much history to offer was a bonus for me. Craig and Antonio were very friendly and helpful during our stay, and the breakfast is amazing. I highly recommend staying at the Horton House. You won't be disappointed. Thank you.

We had a great stay at Horton House, the owners were very welcoming and friendly and the breakfasts were DELICIOUS! (sausage/bacon, cheesy eggs, pancakes, and fruit & yogurt Parfaits on first morning; sausage/bacon, eggs, caramel french toast (AMAZING) and fruit & yogurt parfaits (so good the 2nd day with slightly tart blueberries) on 2nd morning). Stayed in the Scalise room--bed was comfortable and bathroom was spacious.

Excellent tour of facility on arrival. Friendly, family atmosphere. Wonderful and warm place to come "home" to after a day full of traveling and activity. The stocked and honor system refreshment area was great! I relaxed in the Library room with some great local history books and THE most comfortable reading chairs I have ever sat in. Enjoyed the grounds and location to historic district was in walking distance. A wonderful place to spend a few days and more!

Usually last minute things don't work out... so when I decided to take the ol Road King on a last minute fall foliage ride across route 6 I expected troubles. Of course the hotels were filled with gas workers. So the light bulb lit - why not do a B&B. Found I could get as far as Warren and a Google search brought me here. Wonderful. The owner responded promptly and personally to my reservation. Got there and found all just as I expected it to be. Horton House is a quaint old mansion and as such has all of the niceties of an old mansion. The accommodations were great, the place was clean, and the breakfast was satisfying. The place kept the 20's charm with all of the modern niceties of any current "hotel". And it was just a few blocks walk from the downtown. There were two nice restaurants open so I chose the Liberty Street Cafe for some pub food. Friendly folks, great selection of local microbrews on tap and a tender pork BBQ dinner that was a 9 out of 10. A nice stroll back in a very safe quiet little NWPA town completed the experience. Would DEFINITELY recommend and would stay again.

Lovely B&B. Beautiful old mansion. All the conveniences were there, the rooms were large and nicely finished. Breakfast was great!! And the hosts couldn't have been better. The B&B was decorated for Haloween. We enjoyed our stay.
4.0 on September 29, 2012
The B+B is easily reached and fairly central ( 5 mins. walk to downtown Warren). It's a large old building, with decor and ambience very much in keeping with the time it was built, with two friendly hosts, a dog (abbot) and a cat Costello - seldom seen). Breakfast was simple but adequate, the host's local knowledge was prodigious.

I stayed at the Horton House one Friday evening and had an excellent stay. The room was clean, the service was friendly, and the breakfast the next day was very good. The owners were very friendly and easy to talk to.

Lovely, stately historic home. Breakfast sumptuous. The host is friendly and generous. The bed ws tolerable but could use an upgrade.
4.6 on September 05, 2012
A beautiful and romantic victorian home with very helpful hosts without being overbearing. All the amenities of the 21st Century while capturing the essence of the 19th. Mouthwatering breakfast both Saturay and Sunday; I insisted on having the recipie for the Caramel French Toast which we both couldn't get enough of that day! Amy & Timothy Stouffer

We really enjoyed our night at the Horton House. Our host directed us to a wonderful restaurant overlooking the water for dinner. The room was very spacious, and it was a real treat to have a TV in the room. Thank you. We look forward to returning again someday.
4.2 on August 22, 2012
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Horton House. Because it is an old house, it lacks some modern conveniences, but makes up for that in charm and uniqueness. We especially liked being within walking distance of the downtown, the historical society, and many of the old mansions that surround it. We were close enough to make several forays into the Allegheny National Forest where the scenery was beautiful and the hiking opportunities abundant. Our hosts were very accommodating, and we enjoyed the breakfasts and the camaraderie of the other guests. Altogether, a very good experience!
5 on August 15, 2012
Craig and Tony were great hosts. The room was wonderful, breakfast was great and I would definitely stay there again.
5 on August 10, 2012
We were here in Warren for a wedding - Craig and his brother were very hospitable!, rooms were comfortable and the stocked refrigerator was a great asset!, Would recommend to anyone!
4.2 on August 02, 2012
We stayed three nights. It is a clean and elegant house and the service was excellent, as well as the breakfast. I've never had such good food anywhere I've stayed. The room was rated three stars because, although it was spacious, comfortable and clean, apparently the walls are thin, and there is no way to lock your room door once you leave the room (you can lock it from the inside only). Also, there is a window unit rather than central air but the temperature was very manageable and not a problem at all. Overall, a very good experience and I would definitely recommend the Horton House.
4.6 on July 18, 2012
I love old things and this house was wonderful and a great look at the past. Our hosts were very nice and breakfast perfect. Our room was huge and charming. Loved the grounds. Only disappointed that hot tub not working, but it was to hot anyway. Will hopefully be able to return for another stay.
4.2 on July 17, 2012
Excellent service and accommodations. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food was fine; however, nothing that could not be found at a local diner or cafe. Location is perfect for walking in and around downtown Warren.

This is home away from home...wait, it's better than home!! I look forward to my business trip because I get to stay at the Horton House. The best breakfast that I've ever had! I love the hosts!

We had a wonderful night. The house is beautiful, the hot tub was relaxing and breakfast was delicious!
3.4 on October 24, 2011
This inn is a charming older home. The wood work is truly gorgeous. Craig and his staff were helpful with tips for dining. As this home is on a busy and noisy highway, I would definitely ask for rooms on the back side of the house.
1.2 on October 15, 2011
1920's era accommodations were interesting but the place was not clean or comfortable. Breakfast was advertised as "incredible" but was simple scrambled eggs and pancakes. We had received a confirmation for a room with fireplace but when we arrived they put us in a room with no fireplace, but had not notified us.
3.2 on August 17, 2011
This is a house with character, history, and plenty of nooks and crannies. The proprietor is a great host, and the cooking staff is outstanding. The house could use some refurbishment. The plumbing is old and touchy; the floors creek; the lights get turned out on the main floor by 10pm and you have to figure out how to ascend the staircase in the semi-darkness; least of all, please have some kleenex available in the room! Breakfasts are terrific, and the ping pong room is fun. Some new, cheerful curtains and clean upper windows would go a long way to dress up this otherwise interesting, historic house. Thanks for asking!
4.4 on August 08, 2011
Friendly and helpful hosts and staff. Delicious breakfasts. The house itelf is very charming. We would definately stay there again.
4.8 on July 06, 2011
We started our winery vacation by staying at the Horton House B&B Inn for just one night. We love historic homes and appreciate the work required for the upkeep of a place like this one. Our room was spectacular. Craig offered suggestions for dining and Docksiders was terrific. He also helped us out with directions for great trails at the Kinzua Dam. This was a great beginning to a wonderful 5 day adventure.
4.2 on July 06, 2011
Craig and Antonio were great hosts. We would stay there again. Very generous food portions and excellent recipes.
4.8 on June 09, 2011
Stayed for three nights. Accomodations were lovely. Everyone was very friendly and accomodating. Would highly recommend.
4.2 on June 01, 2011
This house is amazing - check out the guitar room- too cool. Also, they have "hotel" like amenities offering beer, wine, soda, and snacks for a nominal fee.
3.4 on May 13, 2011
Huge Victorian mansion about a 10 minute walk from the Allegheny River and the shops and eateries of Warren, PA. Great cheesy-eggs for breakfast and a stocked fridge with sodas, beer and small wine bottles on the honor system to enjoy in your room, the two salons, two game rooms, lovely back yard or out on the deck in the jacuzzi.
4.6 on March 03, 2011
We loved staying in the beautiful, quaint Horton House. The house and room exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful, romatic weekend. The innkeepers, Craig and Antonio, were great. Breakfast was good, home-style, but don't expect anything too fancy.
2.8 on February 27, 2011
People were very nice. House is very beautiful. Rooms are dated and do not match the photos. Fireplaces in rooms are not functional, and hot tub was not hot-warm but not hot and tub area was not well-maintained. Walls are very thin and because of its age, the house is not really quiet. Food was very good and well presented. Would not have stayed if we knew staff smoked.
4.4 on January 29, 2011
We stayed at the Horton House Bed and Breakfast in the Wilder Room for one night. The Wilder Room included a private bathroom and a fireplace. Plenty of firewood was available to build a fire, which we did. In the morning, we were served a large breakfast - scrambled eggs, bacon, French toast, coffee, and orange juice. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.

A very pleasant stay. Horton House is well kept and charming. If you have occaision to stay in the Warren area there is are not any better accomodations available. I highly recommend it.
4.8 on December 14, 2010
charming, romantic getaway. The town offers some unique dining: The Liberty Cafe and Crossings. The Inn is wonderful as are its hosts. All very affordable. Put Warren PA at the top of your R and R getaway list and plan to stay for at least 2 nights!
3.8 on June 06, 2010
The exterior of the Horton House was breathtaking as were all the rooms and treasures inside. Antonio and staff were very friendly. It was my first experience with a bed and breakfast and was concerned with bothering other guests as we were visiting family and were out later than most of the other guests. The floors, being an old house, creaked if you stepped on them. There is little you can do to avoid that. To fix this would take the charm out of this beautiful home. It is a very large home and due to it's age is prone to dust. Other than that the rooms were very clean, the bathrooms were pristine and the food was amazing. would stay again and recommend others to as well.

In one word... "charming". I had to make emergency reservations in Warren to attend a family funeral... and after doing my homework reading reviews, I put it to my fiance like this: "We can stay in a 2 or 3 star hotel/motel with nasty reviews or a local B&B with the equivalent of 4 star reviews." He said, "That's a no brainer, book us." The Inn itself is kept by 2 brothers who couldn't possibly be more friendly and accommodating. The pride they take in their investment in this B&B shows in every pristine clean nook and cranny, and there are many, many nooks and cranny's. It's an old, old house and so carries all of the creaks and groans one would expect from a vintage house. It's just modernized enough to be up to date without harming the charm and decor of the original house. It's just freaking gorgeous. The "honor roll" policy was a little disconcerting to we dis-trusting New Yorkers, especially given there was no secured lock to our room! That was a bit scary, but this is truly home-town USA and good people. The bathrooms are clean, hot water is REALLY HOT, and there's so much to tell about this place, there's not room here. The bed was perfect, the pillows nice and the only issue we had was something beyond the control of any Inn... there was a lot of high noise from traffic, and the gorgeous wood floors echoed every move and step within the house. But you know what? It was so worth those minor annoyances to have the privelege to stay in this awesome mini mansion in historical Warren. We enjoyed our breakfast with a couple who were visiting from Holland, and it was a real home cooked breakfast ... the grounds are so nicely maintained, and the general public rooms (two sitting/reading rooms, a music room and the whole upper floor which was the old ballroom) are amazing... antiques are everywhere, knacks and bric-a-brack abound, books galore, and I swear... not a speck of dust to be found. We'll be back, that's fer sure. Lynne D Perry, Rochester, New York

This inn was perfect in every way. The innkeepers could not have been any more helpful or friendly. The house is very relaxing and is a great place to stay. You can come and go as you please and the upstairs game room is cool also. The rooms all are very nice and comfortable. Warren was a great town to hang out in also and all the people we meet were all very friendly. The breakfast in the morning was also outstanding. This inn should actually charge twice what it does now and it would still be worth it. 5 stars all the way!!! Thanks again...Bryan & Anna

I was a little wary about my stay after reading the previous review; however, I had a wonderful stay! My room and the rest of the house was nice and toasty and the water in the shower was nice and hot. The house was very, very quiet which was a big plus for someone who has trouble sleeping (like me). The owners and staff were very pleasant and unobtrusive plus the breakfast was fabulous! I recommend this place to everyone!

We had great expectations when we saw the B & B. It was beautiful. When we entered the hallways and 1st floor rooms seemed a little chilly. When we entered our room on the second floor it had a space heater turned on high. The evening forcast was for 30 degrees so I thought the owner would turn on the heat. When we returned to the room after later that evening we were dismayed to find the inn still chilly and our radiator ice cold. Thankfully our bed had plenty of covers but I was still cold all night. In the morning I thought I would warm up in with a hot shower. We had no hot warm only luke warm. Neither my husband or myself took a shower. As we went down to breakfast I mentioned the cold water to the owner. He said he had someone look at it the day before but he didn't think it was working on our side of the hall. We ate our breakfast which was excellent and quickly left to go to our car and turn on the heat.

Did I scare you? Unless you have a fear of capital letters or exclamation points, probably not. Now, if I had come behind you while you were quietly reading and unexpectedly rousted you with a hearty "Hello!," perhaps I would have frightened you and the resulting rush of hormones would set your heart racing, momentarily paralyze you in your tracks and prepare you, albeit needlessly, for action. We are all familiar with the physiological changes that result from being startled by a loud noise, but what about the effects of other sounds? Do pleasant, organized sounds, such as music, affect the mind, body and mood? A large body of research says "yes."
Researchers have uncovered an astonishing number of benefits derived from listening to music. Evidently, music has the power to energize, soothe, change emotional outlook, boost immunity, reduce pain, speed recovery, lower blood pressure, improve focus and IQ as well as aid weight loss. These are just a sampling of scientific findings. How is this possible? Hearing is a physiological process involving the ears, brain, body and nervous system. Music, like all sound energy, can drive changes in our minds and bodies as we listen to it.
Sound, be it the music of a violin or the patter of rain on a rooftop, is vibrations in the air around us. The visible outer ear captures and funnels sound waves into the middle ear. The captured waves vibrate the eardrum and tiny bones of the middle ear to amplify and pass the sound to the inner ear. The inner ear's cochlea (i.e., a fluid-filled coil lined with neurons) converts the mechanical energy of these vibrations into electrical energy and transmits it to the brain. As the transformed sound waves move through the brain, they can generate motor responses, emotions, hormone release and higher order processes (e.g., recognition and memory recall). In other words, the brain guides the body's response (e.g., physiological, emotional, biochemical, etc.) as it recognizes the sound. For example, a loud noise may frighten us, while the sound of ocean waves may calm us.
The use of music in healing is at least as old as the writings of Aristotle and Plato. Egyptian medical papyri and religious texts, such as the Bible, document the use of music to alleviate illness and distress. In the 1800s, researchers in America and Europe examined the relationship between music and body/mind states as well as described music's effects on cardiac output, respiratory rate, pulse and blood pressure, cites ethnomusicologist Elizabeth Miles, M.A., author of Tune Your Brain: Using Music to Manage Your Mind, Body, and Mood and producer of the 10-CD Tune Your Brain series (Deutsche Grammophon). By the 1980s, studies aimed at discovering music's clinical applications intensified. Currently, scientific literature brims with music research.
In The Power of Music, Susan Hallam, Ph.D. of the Department of Psychology and Special Education at the Institute of London, reviewed over 200 music-related scientific studies, reports and books. She notes that research indicates music has potent therapeutic effects and can induce changes in behavior, mood as well as emotional, physiological and cognitive state. For example, it can reduce anxiety, alleviate pain, reduce drug dosages needed in clinical settings by as much as 50 percent, promote well-being, improve psychiatric patients' symptoms, alleviate depression and promote rehabilitation and recovery. Changes in biochemicals, such as endorphins, cortisol (i.e., a stress-related hormone) and immune system-related molecules, may occur.
Hallam notes that while not every study has shown the predicted effect, "evidence suggests music influences physiological arousal in the expected direction ... exciting music leads to increased arousal, calming music the reverse." Thus, on a physiological level, heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rates, muscular tension, motor responses and skin temperature tend to increase in response to loud, fast-paced music and decrease in response to slow, soft music.
Hallam also cites studies illustrating music's effects on activity levels, mood, concentration, health, well-being and intelligence. For example, researchers have shown music can influence levels of secretory immunoglobin A (i.e., IgA, which increases during immune system activity), speed at which shoppers move through a store, performance during a karate drill and on certain types of IQ tests, work productivity, inducement of elated or depressed moods and hospital patients' perception of pain.
Music has also been used to manipulate consumers' shopping, eating and drinking habits. For example, a study showed women drank soda faster with rapid music in the background. In another study, French wine outsold German wine when French music was played and vice versa when German music was played.
This article only begins to describe music's powerful potential. Research supports its many benefits and continues to uncover new ways it can enhance quality of life. For more information about music-related research and/or music therapy (i.e., using music to reach non-musical goals), visit the Music and Science Information Computer Archive (MuSICA) at http://musica.cnlm.uci.edu/index .html or the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) at http://www.musictherapy.org/.

|Chiropractic Care and Neck and Back Pain
Your chiropractor is your primary resource for evaluation and treatment of neck pain and low back pain. The majority of these spinal complaints are caused by irritation and inflammation of muscles, tendons, and ligaments that help create the structure of the spinal column and provide for full mobility of the spinal vertebras. By locating regions of your spine where mobility is decreased, your chiropractor identifies areas in need of treatment. By restoring mobility to spinal segments, chiropractic care helps remove the source of neck pain and back pain.
An additional benefit of chiropractic care is the removal of nerve interference. Irritation and inflammation of spinal soft tissues negatively affects the normal function of spinal nerves. The ability of these important neural pathways to transmit information from your brain to the rest of your body is compromised. The result may be a wide range of health problems. By addressing the root of many of these problems at the source, chiropractic care helps contribute to your overall health and well-being.

Highway financing would rise slightly while almost all spending for Amtrak would be eliminated under the Transportation Department budget. The plan would also give the Federal Aviation Administration more money to hire air traffic controllers but cut spending for airport improvements.
The budget provides no money for Amtrak itself, but it does include $360 million to maintain commuter service that uses Amtrak tracks in the Northeast corridor if the railroad goes bankrupt.
Norman Y. Mineta, the transportation secretary, said federal subsidies for Amtrak had almost doubled in the last four years, to $1.2 billion in 2005 from $520 million in 2001. "After 34 years of Amtrak operating losses and $29 billion in taxpayer subsidies, it is clear that the current model of passenger rail service is flawed and unsustainable, " Mr. Mineta said.
Amtrak, however, has always survived because of supporters in Congress. And they rallied to its defense on Monday. Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, said, "Eliminating Amtrak wouldn't just cost us billions of dollars in operating funds for the trains and the businesspeople and tourists they bring here, it also shreds the safety net we'll need in case -- God forbid -- our airspace is shut down again like it was after 9/11."
Likewise, airport improvements are a favorite in Congress.
Under the budget, the Airport Improvement Program in the aviation agency would be reduced to about $3 billion, from nearly $3.5 billion. The plan does include money to hire about 1,200 air traffic controllers, for a net increase of 595, at a time when the agency is facing a wave of retirements.
The budget also calls for Congress to reauthorize $284 billion over six years, a $28 billion increase, for highway construction; passage of a highway bill stalled last year when lawmakers and the administration could not agree on spending levels.Continue reading the main story
The plan also seeks $14 million to improve the Global Positioning System, the satellite-based navigation system, so it would be accurate enough for railroads to use to track their trains, even on closely spaced tracks. MATTHEW L. WALDContinue reading the main story

The federal government and Idaho's attorney general have decided to sue St. Luke's Health System for anticompetitive behavior, the Boise health system and Federal Trade Commission said Tuesday.
"We are firm believers in the marketplace as the best way [to create] the lowest prices, best services and most innovation," said Brett DeLange, who leads the Idaho attorney general's consumer protection operations. "A lot of really good health care improvements that can be done today. It doesn't take a monopoly to do them."
The FTC and Attorney General Lawrence Wasden's office have been investigating the hospital system for possible federal and state antitrust violations. The investigations focused on the hospital's acquisition of Saltzer Medical Group in Nampa — a deal that a federal judge allowed to close at the end of last year, while the FTC and Attorney General investigations were pending. Their joint lawsuit is being filed in federal court, the FTC said.
The lawsuit is sealed, but Wasden's office will request that it be opened for public view, DeLange said.
"St. Luke's acquisition of Saltzer Medical Group has created a dominant single provider of adult primary care physician services in Nampa, with a nearly 60 percent share of the market," said Richard Feinstein, director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition. "The result of the acquisition will be higher prices for the services that those physicians provide, with costs ultimately passed on to Nampa employers and their employees."
David Pate, CEO of St. Luke's, responded to the lawsuit, saying it had become clear to him that "the FTC and AG don't well understand hospital-physician relationships and do not have a good understanding of accountable care."
The Saltzer deal transferred to St. Luke's the power Saltzer had to negotiate with health insurers and set prices, and it gave St. Luke's a five-year contract with Saltzer physicians, the FTC said.
The FTC has stepped up its enforcement of antitrust laws in the health care industry in recent years. Its recent investigations have led to no actions for deals "unlikely to unreasonably restrain trade" and a settlement with a Reno, Nev., system that acquired cardiology practices. The U.S. Supreme Court last month ruled in favor of an FTC complaint from 2011 that a Georgia hospital merger was anticompetitive and could raise prices charged to insurance plans.
"St. Luke's entered into the relationship with Saltzer to increase quality, manage unnecessary utilization and ultimately reduce costs, not to raise prices," St. Luke's said. It said the system is "extremely disappointed" by the federal-state lawsuit.
St. Luke's competitors Saint Alphonsus Health System and Treasure Valley Hospital also have sued St. Luke's over the Saltzer deal. The lawsuit is headed for a full trial this summer and may be consolidated with the FTC and Attorney General complaints.
A spokeswoman for Saint Alphonsus said that health system, based in Boise and part of the multistate Trinity Health organization, "is pleased that the FTC and [Wasden] are taking this enforcement action."
St. Luke's is now the largest private employer in Idaho, with hospitals in Boise, Meridian, Twin Falls, Jerome, McCall and Ketchum. It is expected to acquire Elmore County Medical Center this year. The hospital employs more than 10,000 people, including hundreds of physicians.

We all know the usual suspects. Craigslist. Monster. Career Builder. Newspapers. (Half kidding.) Or perhaps you're more of a networking kind of person, frequenting marketing events to get some face time with heavy hitters who might want you to join their teams. Marketers -- or anyone -- looking for a job have probably spent time in all of these places at one time or another.
But like ... what else? Those can't be the only ways to find a new job. Or, if you're looking to hire someone, to find your next great team addition. To paraphrase every infomercial ever, there's gotta be a better way!
There is. The "better way" in hiring and getting hired is getting found in more places, and in more high-quality places. Kind of like inbound marketing. What a coincidence :-) So this post is going to outline some places you 1) might not have thought of, and 2) often prove to be very efficient venues to find excellent marketing job openings and candidates.
1) Mashable Jobs
Ever been scrolling through Mashable's stories and see one of these pop up in between your story headlines?
Maybe you noticed 'em, maybe you didn't, or maybe you just forgot about 'em, but if you're job junting, click on that gray 'View More Jobs' button! Mashable actually has a dedicated jobs site that focuses on jobs in social media, marketing, technology, and business. And they post for companies that are kiiiind of a big deal, like Yelp, Viacom, and Digitas.
2) American Marketing Association (AMA)
The AMA is a well known and respected marketing association that publishes content and hosts networking and teaching events that keep members up to date on what's going on in the world of marketing. But that's not all! They also have a site called Marketing Power that houses a career resource center with, you guessed it, a jobs board. The positions there range across many sub-specialties in marketing, and across many different industries. Those looking to recruit candidates can also post jobs at a discounted rate if they're an AMA member.
Another added benefit of the AMA jobs board? Because it's part of a larger career resources section of its Marketing Power site, they also offer educational resources like resume writing tips, information about reference checking, and how to use social networking in your job hunt.
3) LinkedIn
Speaking of social networking ... you didn't think we'd neglect the holy grail of social recruiting and job hunting, did you? LinkedIn is flippin' unbelievable if you're looking for a marketing job. Seriously, I can't state it enough. It. Is. Awesome. Let me explain what some of the greatest features are so you can leverage them now if you aren't already:
1) Online Resume - If you haven't already, fill out your LinkedIn profile as completely as you possibly can. They make it foolproof, too, including a progress bar that tells you how complete your profile is, what more you can do to beef it up, and why doing those things will benefit you.
2) Sanctioned Stalking - Don't even feel bad about stalking -- it's business stalking, people! For instance, LinkedIn has a groovy feature that lets you see who has been viewing your LinkedIn profile (provided you let others see when you're viewing their profile; otherwise this feature won't work for you).
Check out who is interested in you -- if they're recruiters, HR managers, or work for a company you've been eyeing, reach out to them proactively.
If you're one of those people who prefers face-to-face networking, you can also leverage a tool called LinkedIn Events. This allows you to see who on LinkedIn is attending industry events -- if your hopeful future boss is going, it might be a good idea for you to show up, too.
3) Groups and Company Pages - If you're vying for a specific company, follow that company on their LinkedIn Company Page. Not only will you be able to get a feel for what the people that work there are like and what their employee turnover and promotions looks like (just go to the 'Insights' tab), you might see new jobs pop up, too!
Or if you're not looking to join one company in particular, consider joining some inbound marketing groups to establish your name as a thought leader -- and get to know people who are hiring, or know people who are hiring. We recommend a little group called Inbound Marketers - For Marketing Professionals. ;-)
4) A Jobs Board - Of course. LinkedIn lets you search for jobs by industry and location, plus it suggests jobs you might be interested in based on the information in your LinkedIn profile.
What's great about applying for jobs through LinkedIn is ... your resume's already done! Well, if you've completed your LinkedIn profile, that is.
4) Twitter
The career opportunities for marketers don't end with LinkedIn -- Twitter is also a great way to find jobs! And because most people won't think to head to Twitter when they're job hunting, it's a way to stand out from other applicants. There's a few tactics you can use here:
- Follow specific jobs Twitter accounts. Do a quick search for "inbound marketing jobs" or "marketing jobs" and you'll come across tons of Twitter accounts whose sole job is to tweet out open roles in our fine industry.
- Follow specific jobs hashtags. You know what else you might find when you conduct that search? Hashtags associated with those jobs. Hashtags like #marketingjobs or #jobsearch are good places to periodically check in for recent opportunities.
- Follow the companies you want to work for, and the people that work there. Look for job postings that come from them, particularly if these companies have a referral bonus. At HubSpot, for instance, many employees take it upon themselves to tweet out new jobs because, if they bring in a new hire (yes, even from Twitter), there's a nice referral bonus at the end of the tunnel!
5) Quora
Quora is a social network that's pretty popular among marketers, especially those who value educational content ** cough, inbound marketers, cough **. People on this site share content, ask questions, and get to know one another. Quora is also excellent for the online networking opportunities it presents -- which often, in the long term, lead to job opportunities, too. If you're not in the market for a job right now but are invested in growing your career, Quora is one place you should be. Plus, it's not one of the most popular social networks around, making the competition a little less intense when trying to get the attention of the big guns.
6) Your Own Web Properties
Why wait for someone else to post a job listing? Take matters into your own hands! Marketers are notoriously bad at marketing themselves, but the things is ... you're really good at marketing. So if you want a new job, help yourself get found all on your own! Think of your job hunt as its own marketing campaign. In fact, we've had plenty of our own inbound marketing hires execute full-fledged inbound marketing campaigns to get the attention of recruiters, hiring managers, even just current HubSpotters that would pass their name along to decision makers.
So if you're not maintaining an online portfolio or a website that showcases you in all your [marketing] glory, hop to it. I can tell you, first hand, every new potential marketing hire that crosses my desk gets promptly Googled. What am I looking for? An active, up-to-date online presence that demonstrates their knowledge. That could mean they're blogging for their current company, their own online portfolio, frequent activity on sites like LinkedIn and Quora, even a healthy Twitter following. All of these are indications that they "get it." So no matter how hard a time you're having finding a new gig on third-party sites, remember that you always have you to fall back on.
What other inbound marketing job resources are out there that we missed?

Biased and unprofessional reports on German books, translation issues and life in Berlin
Wednesday, 10 June 2015
Call for Submissions – no man's land # 10 (Final Issue)
Deadline: August 6, 2015.
no man's land, the online journal for contemporary German literature in translation at www.no-mans-land.org, is seeking submissions for its 10th and final issue.
It's been an exciting and rewarding journey since 2006. We've published work by over 120 writers and 70 translators. We've held too many readings, contests, workshops and Translation Labs to count. We've witnessed an astonishing renaissance of translation culture in the English-speaking world, and a surge of interest in German literature. We're proud to have been a part of that.
With mixed feelings, we've decided that Issue # 10 will be the last issue of our translation journal. Of course, all the issues will remain available under www.no-mans-land.org. Our monthly Translation Lab will continue as before, and we have plans to relaunch no man's land in a new form as a forum for translation and German literature in Berlin and beyond. So stay tuned! But now we're focusing on making Issue # 10 the best issue ever. And for that, we're counting on you to send us your most compelling work to round out the spectrum of new German literature we've presented so far.
For prose, send up to 3 texts (stories or self-contained novel excerpts, max. 4,000 words each) by one or different contemporary* writers. For poetry, send work by up to 3 poets, each to a maximum of 5 poems. Electronic submissions only. No simultaneous submissions, please, and – with some exceptions** – no previously-published translations. The deadline is August 6, 2015, and we will inform contributors by early October 2015; the issue will go online by late November. We regret that we cannot offer honoraria.
Please include your contact information, biographical and publication information (for both translator and author) and a copy of the original. Also, please provide proof of permission from the original publisher and/or author – whoever holds the rights to the piece (this could be a scanned letter, or forward us an e-mail).
Please send submissions electronically to Isabel Cole at email@example.com.
To save time and avoid misplacing your work, we ask that you observe the following guidelines:
Please name the file with your translation as follows: pr for prose, ly for poetry_your last name_the author's last name_e. So Anthea Bell's translation of prose by E. T. A. Hoffmann would be: pr_bell_hoffmann_e.doc.
Name the file with the original the same way, but ending with _dt (pr_bell_hoffmann_dt.doc). Stephen Mitchell's translation of Rilke poems would be ly_mitchell_rilke_e.doc, and the original would be ly_mitchell_rilke_dt.doc.
With scanned originals, please put all the pages in one file.
Apologies if this sounds complicated, but it really is a great help!
For more information, see our "Translators' Tips" on the no man's land website, and feel free to contact us at the above e-mail address.
We look forward to reading your work!
The Editors, no man's land
*Defined broadly as writers currently active, or active in the later 20th/early 21st century. When in doubt, query!
** We are willing to make exceptions for translations that have appeared previously in very limited circulation and that we feel deserve a new audience. Again, please feel free to query.

Now easier to recycle electrical goods in Tipperary
RTE's Room to Improve presenter Dermot Bannon was on hand recently with the renovation dream team WEEE Ireland and the Irish Hardware and Building Materials Association (IHBMA), who together want to encourage all budding Tipperary DIY enthusiasts to recycle their electrical power tools for free this year while undergoing any new refurbishments in the home.
Dermot officially announced both WEEE Ireland's renewed sponsorship of the popular RTE series, and their partnership with the IHBMA to encourage local hardware retailers in Tipperary to become a centre for WEEE recycling in the community.
You can recycle for free with the following IHBMA members in Tipperary:
B Chadwicks Ltd, Clonmel, Tipperary
B Chadwicks Ltd, Nenagh, Tipperary
E Brett Ltd, Mullnahone, Tipperary
Martin Carey Ltd, Newport, Tipperary

Stakelums Hardware Ltd, Thurles, Tipperary
Tipperary Co-Op, Tipperary
Architect and host Dermot said:
"I'm delighted to see WEEE Ireland back on board this year, I know more than most how important it is to recycle the old to make way for the new during any renovation project. Yourlocal hardware retailer should be the first port of call for any DIY wannabe when starting a new project, so make use of the one in your community and support your local store.
This series of Room to Improve has been our most challenging to date. Budgets are tighter than ever across the board and client's expectations are even higher. Expect last minute changes, construction dilemmas and plenty of clashes and colour galore!"
WEEE Ireland, the Irish compliance scheme for electrical waste and battery recycling, are proudly sponsoring the new six part series of Room to Improve, which will start on Sunday 14th October at 9.30pm
Conor Leonard, Collections & Projects Manager of WEEE Ireland, said: "WEEE Ireland are delighted to announce both of these partnerships today – our sponsorship of Room to Improve and our brand new partnership with the IHBMA. The hardware store in any town is a pivotal part of any community. We want everyone to get in to their local store and remember, please bring back your batteries, lightbulbs, and like for like electrical goods to be recycled for free."
Jim Copeland, Chief Executive and Director, IHBMA, added: "We have more than 600 members nationwide who are on hand to offer the public expert advice for any renovation plans you may have. Whether you need a new power drill or an electrical shower, all hardware stores can help and can recycle your old appliances for free right in store."
Tune in on Sunday's at 9.30pm on RTÉ One to catch Series 6 of Room to Improve.
Featuring a diverse mix of renovations, refurbishments and brand new builds, the series includes the challenge of turning bungalow blitz into bungalow bliss in rural Tipperary, the salvation of a falling-down cottage in Old Finglas,rebuilds in Mullingar and Brittas, Co. Dublin, a software engineer's paradise in Cork and the redemption of a former slice of flatland in Dublin's Donnybrook.

All adults aged 18 years and over should be able to live free from fear and harm and have their rights and choices respected.
Some adults are less able to protect themselves than others, and some have difficulty making their wishes and feelings known. This may make them vulnerable to abuse.
Abuse may be:
Abuse can be the result of a single act or may continue over months or years, abuse can be accidental, or a deliberate act.
You may be concerned about adult abuse because someone has told you something. You may have seen or heard something that makes you feel uncomfortable or uneasy about the care of an adult.
We have a responsibility to take your concerns seriously; we will listen to you and help to stop the abuse. If you suspect someone is being abused.Contact the Adult Care Service team or call us on 0300 303 8886. You will be asked for basic information about yourself, or about the person you are concerned about. We will ask what has happened to you or what you have been told, heard, seen or suspect. You will be asked to give your name so that you can be kept informed. Your name will not be shared without your permission.
Anyone can be an abuser – relatives, partners, people paid to provide care and services, volunteers, neighbours, friends or strangers.
Most abusers are people close to the adult, who are loved and trusted by them. However, some people will deliberately abuse adults they see as an easy target.
Abuse can occur anywhere: people can be abused at home, in care or nursing homes, day centres, or any place the adult should be safe.
You can also contact:

Michel Foucault Quotes About SchoolQuotes about: School
I wasn't always smart, I was actually very stupid in school [T]here was a boy who was very attractive who was even stupider than I was. And in order to ingratiate myself with this boy who was very beautiful, I began to do his homework for him – and that's how I became smart, I had to do all this work to just keep ahead of him a little bit, in order to help him. In a sense, all the rest of my life I've been trying to do intellectual things that would attract beautiful boys.
In actual fact. The manifold sexualities - those which appear with the different ages (sexualities of the infant or the child), those which become fixated on particular tastes or practices (the sexuality of the invert, the gerontophile, the fetishist), those which, in a diffuse manner, invest relationships (the sexuality of doctor and patient, teacher and student, psychiatrist and mental patient), those which haunt spaces (the sexuality of the home, the school, the prison)- all form the correlate of exact procedures of power.

The website contains information featuring the various training opportunities of our residents, including training in the art and science of surgery, as well as the development of technical and cognitive skills, and education in clinical and basic principles of surgery, and the overall care of the patient.
The Department of Surgery comprises 25 primary faculty in various surgical disciplines organized in 12 divisions including: Cardiac Surgery, General Surgery, Hand Surgery, Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, Otolaryngology, Orthopaedic Surgery, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Trauma and Surgical Critical Care, Burn Surgery, Surgical Oncology, Thoracic Surgery, Urology, and Vascular Surgery.

Pittsburgh has a diversified population and very stable economic base, a wealth of cultural and musical activities, and major sporting events. The medical community at UPMC Mercy, including that in our program, is very reflective of this diversity.
