LONDON (AP) — Known on the one hand for his starring role in "Lawrence of Arabia," leading tribesmen in daring attacks across the desert wastes, and on the other for his headlong charges into drunken debauchery, Peter O'Toole was one of the most magnetic, charismatic and fun figures in British acting.
O'Toole, who died Saturday at age 81 at the private Wellington Hospital in London after a long bout of illness, was nominated a record eight times for an Academy Award without taking home a single statue.
He was fearsomely handsome, with burning blue eyes and a penchant for hard living which long outlived his decision to give up alcohol. Broadcaster Michael Parkinson told Sky News television it was hard to be too sad about his passing.
"Peter didn't leave much of life unlived, did he?" he said.
A reformed — but unrepentant — hell-raiser, O'Toole long suffered from ill health. Always thin, he had grown wraithlike in later years, his famously handsome face eroded by years of outrageous drinking.
But nothing diminished his flamboyant manner and candor.
Kyle Stephens, of Los Alamos, is a member of the 2013 LSC Championship football team. With the win over Texas A&M-Commerce, the Greyhounds clinch a share of the Lone Star Conference title, marking their first LSC championship since the 1991 season.
The Greyhounds shared the LSC South title in 1999 and 2000, but haven't won the overall title since posting a 7-3-1 record with a 5-1 LSC mark in 1991.
Eastern has not won seven games in a season since going 8-3 in the 2002 season.
The Hounds 6 game win streak is the longest current streak in the LSC and the first time for the program since opening the 1998 season at 7-0.
ENMU is a NCAA Division II institution, affiliated with the Lone Star Conference.
NEW YORK (AP) — Lou Reed was a pioneer for countless bands who didn't worry about their next hit single.
Reed, who died Sunday at age 71, radically challenged rock's founding promise of good times and public celebration. As leader of the Velvet Underground and as a solo artist, he was the father of indie rock, and an ancestor of punk, New Wave and the alternative rock movements of the 1970s, '80s and beyond.
He influenced generations of musicians from David Bowie and R.E.M. to Talking Heads and Sonic Youth.
"The first Velvet Underground record sold 30,000 copies in the first five years," Brian Eno, who produced albums by Roxy Music and Talking Heads among others, once said. "I think everyone who bought one of those 30,000 copies started a band!"
Nathan Clements, 16, son of Bradford and Jane Clements, of Los Alamos traveled to Emporia State University in Emporia, Kan., for the 58th Annual George R R Pflaum Debate tournament and placed first in varsity and second in junior varsity divisions as part of the Concordia debaters team.
Girl Scout Troop 97 announces Jessica Hall, Shannon Irwin and Maia Menefee of Los Alamos have earned the Girl Scout Silver Award, the highest award that for girls ages 11-14.
Each cadette worked to complete a series of leadership challenges and an extensive service project in her community. It takes a minimum of 40 hours of preparation, planning, and work to accomplish the Silver Award goals a girl sets for herself.
To earn the Silver Award, Hall, Irwin and Menefee completed a project that involved building a Little Free Library, 1325 43rd St. It is a "take a book, return a book" with a box full of books where anyone may stop by and pick up books to share.

Hi all - new forum member here!
Sunday last, I ran across an MRS-1266 at the local fleamarket. I hadn't seen a 1266 before but I knew the Zoom brand from my 508 delay pedal and knew Zoom was a good make.
The seller didn't seem to know much about it and I could see it was missing the master slider plus there wasn't a power supply. Other than that, it didn't look abused ...of course I couldn't fire it up to check anything so I made them an offer and took a flyer on it - $40. I picked up a power supply later that day for an additional $5, so I was eager to get home and check it out!
When it turned on I got the message "check drives". After about 10 seconds or so the "int HDD error" message appeared. Apart from the red HDD access light flashing occasionally, the machine just froze there displaying that message. I guess I shouldn't have expected it to work, but I was a bit disappointed nevertheless.
So I decided I'd have a go getting it going. First thing I did was to download the manual from Zoom then following a post here on the forum went to page 157 - maintenance mode. Following the instructions I powered it up with the clear button depressed and it displayed "rom uty" but when I pressed the mark button the display reverted to the "check drives" followed by "int HDD error" messages. The only other messages I get are the power off message and the goodbye.
Next up, I took out the hard drive and put it into an old IDE enclosure hooked it up to the computer. To my surprise, the drive worked perfectly, both partitions were there and files too. The user partition had a couple of projects but lots of free space as well and both partitions were shown as healthy by the Windows drive manager.
So I put the HD back into the machine, figuring maybe I needed the factory install disk ...so I wrote to Zoom and got a link from them the very next day (how great is that ) with a download link. Made a bootable disk and loaded into the CD drive, but even though the drive looked and sounded like it was reading the disk, it didn't boot the machine and I still got the "check drives" followed by "int HDD error" messages.
Looking at the front of the machine, the CD drive is a different color to the body and I think it MAY be a replacement - It's a Lite-on CD burner with 40x12x48 written on the front ...I'm not sure that drives that speedy were around in 2002 - is it possible that it isn't the HDD that has the problem but that the CD burner?
If the CD burner is incompatible and Zoom didn't program an error message for that situation, could it be that the message would possibly default to "check drives" followed by "int HDD error"?
I realize I'm clutching at straws here, but AFAIK that HD doesn't have a problem ..I wonder what CD burner came with this machine originally?
Sorry for the l-o-n-g post,
any and all ideas welcome
all the best
MRS-1266 error message
All flavors of Zoom MRS gear discussed here, including MRS-8, 1044, 1266, 1608, etc.

Re: MRS-1266 error message
Well I spent the morning reformatting a new (old 18gb IDE) hard drive into the two partitions and moving the OS files over to the MSR-FAC partition from the factory CD. Replaced the hard drive and still get the same error ...I'm going to try and locate an old CD burner so heading off to the junk shops now.
I suppose by replacing the HD I've eliminated the hard drive as the fault? Unless it's the controller or some other part of the machine, I'm thinking it could only be the incompatible CD burner that's causing problems.
If the replacement CD doesn't do the trick I guess that's that ...recycle bin!

Rejection hurts, but sometimes rejection letters are important because they reveal important truths you have to learn to deal with as a writer, be it the quality of your work or the nature of the publishing industry. Rejection letters make you face truths you knew were out there but preferred to ignore because they were well…depressing.
Last year ,in my quest for representation for my first novel, I received the following rejection letter from a well-known African American agent:
Dear Karen
Thank you for your query and I apologize for the delay in my response. This is an indication as to how overwhelmed I am by the numerous submissions that we receive on a daily basis. It would not be as bad if publishers were a bit more receptive to diverse works by African American writers.
In most instances the editorial direction at many publishing houses is based on whatever is trendy or the pre-selected categories that represent only a narrow segment of African American reader's interests.
I am certain that if you survey any bookstore you will quickly determine that there is little diversity among the overall titles representing African American writer of fiction and nonfiction… much of it poorly written.
It is truly an unlevel playing field and one that necessitates my having to decline representation of many worthy projects such as yours, simply because each submission requires an enormous amount of time and effort to garner the interest and support necessary to achieve the objectives of acquisition, publication, marketing and promotion.
As with any business, publishing is about the numbers and cash." You have to be able to make them(publishers) money." My agent once explained. All publishers can see, especially in these hard economic times, are the dollars they can get from selling only certain kinds of book written by and for black people. Art and the beauty of the written word about African American life and culture be damned since they believe people will only purchase certain kinds of more titillating fiction .
The lack of diversity in African American fiction and non fiction is a problem, but problems can't be solved unless some of us are willing to step up and take action. Carleen Brice, author of Orange Mint and Honey has started a movement to level the playing field on her blog White Readers Meet Black Authors .The goal of the blog is to introduce people of all colors and cultures to books by African American authors. Because the truth is, change can only come for black writers and authors if people spend more money on a variety of African American books. So take a look at Carleen's new blog, veiw the video and buy a few copies of her wonderful novel to give as gifts.

3rd Planet Festival: Remembering Emily Selke
*Author's disclaimer: The writer of this article is close friends with one of 3rd Planet Festival's organizers, but reporting from The Key remains objective, as always.
On the heels of the one year anniversary of 22-year-old Emily Selke's death, her loved ones are celebrating her joy in a way Emily would have seen fit: through music – a whole day of it. This month's 3rd Planet Festival at World Cafe Live brings to life the passion Emily so embodied and shared with everyone she met.
The Drexel Music Industry Program grad, whose focus was on festival curation, was aboard Germanwings Flight 9525 with her mother Yvonne Selke and 142 other passengers last March when the aircraft crashed in the French Alps.
"When they had her memorial service finally, it was religious oriented and the minister was saying a whole lot about Yvonne and how she attended church all the time, and was very active in it, but he didn't mention Emily much at all," said Ashley Kuhn, a close friend of Emily's who's been spearheading efforts for 3rd Planet. "It was healing for people who knew Yvonne, but it didn't feel fitting for her [Emily's] life." Continue reading →

NASA-European Measurements See Significant Arctic Ozone Loss
Ozone losses of more than 60 percent have occurred in the Arctic stratosphere near 60,000 feet (18 kilometer) in one of the coldest winters on record. This is one of the worst ozone losses at this altitude in the Arctic.
Investigations into the Arctic stratosphere have provided better insights into the processes that control polar ozone. These insights considerably add to scientists' ability to predict ozone levels in the future as chlorine levels decline as a result of the Montreal Protocol, and as greenhouse gases increase. Climate change in the stratosphere will likely enhance ozone losses in the Arctic winter in the coming decades, even as the amount of chlorine introduced into the atmosphere is decreased, researchers say.
This winter, the NASA sponsored SAGE III Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment (SOLVE) and European Union sponsored Third European Stratospheric Experiment on Ozone (THESEO) obtained measurements of ozone, other atmospheric gases, and particles using satellites, airplanes, large, small and long duration balloons, and ground-based instruments.
Scientists from the United States joined with scientists from Europe, Canada, Russia and Japan in mounting the biggest field measurement campaign yet to measure ozone amounts and changes in the Arctic stratosphere. The activities were conducted from November 1999 through March 2000. The total amount of information collected by the international campaign this winter is greater than the information collected in any past polar measurement campaign. Most of the measurements were made near Kiruna, Sweden with additional measurements being made from satellites and a network of stations at mid- and high- northern latitudes.
During the winter of 1999-2000, large ozone losses were observed in the Arctic lower stratosphere, measured by a number of instruments and techniques, including a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ozone instrument aboard the high altitude NASA ER-2 aircraft, a civilian variant of the U-2 reconnaissance plane.
"Measurements from the NASA ER-2 show ozone in the Arctic region decreasing by about 60 percent between January and mid- March," said ER-2 co-project scientist Dr. Paul A. Newman of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
These measurements are comparable to the large chemical losses at this altitude observed in several winters in the mid- 1990s. The effect on total column ozone was slightly mitigated by the fact that reductions in ozone were smaller above 20 kilometers (66,000 feet). Spacecraft observations by NASA's Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer-Earth Probe showed a clear ozone minimum over the polar region during February and March. The average polar column amounts of ozone for the first two weeks of March were 16 percent lower than observed in the early 1980's.
High altitude clouds (at about 18 kilometers or 60,000 feet) that exist only at the poles are called "polar stratospheric clouds" or PSCs. They play a unique role in atmospheric ozone loss. The visually beautiful, opalescent clouds form only at the cold temperatures found at the poles. These clouds help trigger the conversion of chlorine from relatively non-reactive forms to a form (chlorine monoxide, or ClO) that, in combination with sunlight, destroys ozone.
PSCs were observed to extend widely over the Arctic region from early December to early March. "We were somewhat surprised to see PSCs so early in December," said Dr. Mark Schoeberl, who was the SOLVE co-project scientist for observations made from NASA's DC-8 aircraft. "Some of the PSC types and their locations which we observed in December did not fit within our current understanding." The last PSCs were observed on March 8 by instruments aboard the DC-8, and on March 15 by satellite.
The polar stratosphere temperatures were extremely low over the course of this last winter. PSCs can only form in these low temperature regions. At 20 kilometers (66,000 feet) on Jan. 28, the area covered by temperatures low enough to form PSCs was 14.8 million square kilometers (5.7 million square miles), which is larger than the United States. This is the largest-area coverage recorded in more than 40 years of Northern Hemisphere stratospheric analyses.
"The polar stratospheric clouds covered a larger area, and persisted for a longer period of time, than for any other Arctic winter during the past 20 years. These conditions heighten our concern regarding possible couplings between climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion," said ozone researcher Dr. Ross Salawitch of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.
The mixing of polar air into middle latitudes, both during the winter and as the polar circulation broke down in late March, influences ozone levels over the populated middle latitudes. Dilution of ozone-depleted air into latitudes is a major contributor to the long-term mid-latitude decline. These mixing processes have been studied during SOLVE/THESEO-2000 and detailed analysis of these processes continues.

Welcome to Part 2 of the Pentaho Video Tutorial Series. In Part 1, we covered the installation of the Pentaho BI Suite on an Ubuntu Linux O/S using the Pentaho BI Suite Installer. Many have already experienced how easy it was to download and install, thanks for your comments. (You can obtain the installer from the Pentaho KB or from http://www.pentaho.com/download/.) In this part we will cover configuring Pentaho server side data connections that can access your traditional RDBMS data sources. In this example I demonstrate adding connections to Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server 2008. It is important to note that the Pentaho design tools, such as Report Designer, Schema Workbench, Data Integration and the Metadata Editor can publish content using these server side data source connections that have been configured. (We will cover this in Part 3 of the series) To prepare for this configuration, please have the appropriate vendor specific JDBC Type 4 driver available for the data source you want to connect to. You can obtain them from the database vendor's web site, your DBA, or perhaps the installation location of the RDBMS.
You can view the video inline in this blog, or download the higher quality .wmv (Windows Media Video) to your workstation for local viewing.

I wasn't going to post supper (I don't post every meal you know :-) except there was this appetizer that disappeared before dinner even started. I don't know what happened, I saw my hand moving from low ready, someone beat me to the last chip! Wait, I have reloads!
So I figured I'd best post the recipe before Barkley eats the crumpled, "smells like food!", piece of paper it was jotted down on as it was constructed.
It was a Brigid take on an old recipe for "Texas Caviar" but I made some changes and the sauce was all my own. Green and red peppers, red onion, a couple of seeded jalapenos, roasted corn (frozen from fresh Frank W. James corn - the best!), black beans and fresh cilantro. The dressing was fresh lime juice, sweet paprika, garlic, pepper, a bit of sea salt, ancho chili powder and honey into which was whipped a really light olive oil until it emulsified, then stirred in and allowed to sit a couple hours to let the flavors blend.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Appetizer Crack. It's denser than a salsa, sweet and hot and crunchy all at once. I'm sure one of you can come up for a better name for it. I'm just glad that this time I wrote down the recipe as it came together so I could share.
I made made a big bowl full. There were few prisoners. The platters of three cheese and smoked chicken enchiladas sat on standby, ready for the oven while we
I hate to say, but we were almost too full for cheese biscuits
And the enchiladas. But we did our best. What are friends for?

It's all blizzardy up in here.
Being snowed in for the weekend was supposed to be fun, but I had too much to do, and somehow I lost my keys without ever leaving the house, which is like one of those locked-room mysteries, and everything has been a major frustration. Especially the driving, when actually being able to stop your car becomes a luxury.
A coworker told me to get some blizzacks for my car, to help with the traction. I thought he was talking like Snoop Dogg in the hizzity hizzouse or whatever, and I was all "What are blacks?" And he was all "No, I said blizzacks," and I was all "Like blizzity blizzacks?" and then there was a weird back and forth exchange where neither of us could comprehend what the other one was talking about. Finally I deduced that Blizzacks are actually a brand of tire or something.
Anyway, I need a snowday to recover from this snowday.

After the coffee. Before trying to score Dodgers-Cardinals tickets.
The Skinny: Even I'm starting to feel sorry for the New York Giants, and I'm a die-hard Washington Redskins fan. It's Friday so let's make this fast and furious. Today's roundup includes the box office preview, Warner Bros. firing back at a charge of theft and Hulu possibly having a new boss soon.
Daily Dose: Want to lead the conversation on media? The Paley Center for Media is looking for a new chief executive to replace Pat Mitchell, who steps down next year. Formerly the Museum of Television & Radio, the Paley Center tries to be both fan club to TV shows through its Paley Festival and an industry think tank. Lots of bigwigs are on the board of trustees. Oh, but you also have to spend a lot of your time asking people for donations to the nonprofit. More on the Paley Center from our Company Town blog.

Fighting "Gravity." Can "Captain Phillips" -- a dramatic retelling of the hijacking by Somali pirates of Maersk Alabama cargo ship starring Tom Hanks -- rise up against "Gravity" this weekend? Box office watchers say that's highly unlikely. "Gravity" should take in $40 million while "Captain Phillips" will be in choppy waters and likely take in only half that. Still, since adults are expected to flock to "Captain Phillips," the movie might have some staying power in the weeks ahead since us older folks don't feel the need to rush out on the first weekend to see a movie. Box office previews from the Los Angeles Times and Variety.
Hopkins hopping? Mike Hopkins, who oversees distribution for Fox's broadcast and cable properties, is on the short list to be the new chief executive of the online video platform Hulu, according to Bloomberg. Hulu, which is co-owned by Fox parent 21st Century Fox, Walt Disney Co. and Comcast, was recently up for sale, but the owners changed their minds and opted instead to invest $750 million more in the company. The hiring of Hopkins would indicate that the mandate at Hulu is to build a stronger subscription business.
Chin music. Warner Bros. threw a brushback pitch at the producer accusing the studio and Clint Eastwood's production company of stealing the idea for the baseball drama "Trouble With the Curve." The studio called a suit filed by Ryan Brooks "reckless and false." Claims of theft in Hollywood are as common as claims of credit, but this one is getting some attention, probably because of Clint Eastwood and all the baseball puns we can make. More on the bean-ball brawl (see what I did there?) from the New York Times.

Battling Netflix. John Malone, the godfather of the modern-day cable industry and chairman of Liberty Media, thinks cable operators should figure out a way to team up to launch their own national online video service to rival Netflix. The challenge, of course, would be getting distributors on the same page in terms of strategy. More on Malone's thoughts from the Wall Street Journal.
Magic gone. Earvin "Magic" Johnson is exiting his role as an analyst on ESPN's "NBA Countdown." Although Johnson certainly has enough on his plate with all his business activities, including owning a stake in the Dodgers, speculation from Deadspin is that Johnson wasn't thrilled with Bill Simmons' expanding role on the program and the cut in time for Michael Wilbon. The news from the Associated Press and the dirt from Deadspin.

More Action Needed to Address Canadian Drug Shortages
24 July 2012
Toronto -
The Canadian Cancer Society is concerned about continuing drug shortages in Canada and has developed an action plan with recommendations that they believe would effectively address the situation. The Society is urging the federal government to adopt and implement its plan.
The primary recommendation is that there must be one agency – Health Canada – responsible for:
"When addressing a complex national problem that involves many stakeholders one entity must coordinate a response," says Paul Lapierre, Vice President, Public Affairs and Cancer Control, Canadian Cancer Society. "Health Canada must take the lead and work closely with healthcare professionals, patient groups, manufacturers and other levels of government to address drug shortages before they become worse and more patients are affected."
The Society strongly believes that any plan to address drug shortages must focus on the needs of patients.
"Patients must have access to an uninterrupted supply of required medication in a timely manner, without financial hardship," says Dan Demers, Director, Public Issues, Canadian Cancer Society. "It's not acceptable for patients who are already going through a difficult time to have to worry about obtaining drugs they need for their treatment."
Drug shortfalls have been occurring more frequently in the last two to three years, both in Canada and around the world. Most recently, cancer patients were affected by the production slow down at Quebec-based drug manufacturer Sandoz Canada. The shortages caused by this slow down were particularly concerning for cancer patients as Sandoz supplies about 90% of the injectable drugs used in Canada, particularly pain-management medication, and is a leading supplier of generic cancer medication and supportive drugs.
The Canadian Cancer Society's Drug Shortage Action Plan
Our position
The Canadian Cancer Society believes that cancer patients must have access to high-quality, timely care, no matter where they live in Canada.The Canadian Cancer Society believes that any plan to address drug shortages must focus on the needs of patients.

Primary recommendation
There must be one agency – Health Canada – responsible for:
Health Canada must work closely with healthcare professionals, patient groups, drug manufacturers and other levels of government to prevent and minimize the impact of shortages.
Health Canada is the regulator of drugs – it approves and certifies drugs for sale, monitors their safety, sets maximum prices and regulates the way drug companies can operate.
Recommendations to prevent shortages
Recommendations for managing shortages
When drug shortages arise, Health Canada, the provinces and territories, group purchasing organizations and drug manufacturers must take additional steps, including:

Resonant lyrical waxing from previously unheard-of boy from Brazil, Gimu ('g' as in genre, not gold), an experimental ambient/drone musician based in Vila Velha, Brazil, who portrays himself modestly as '...only an old guy who's always making music.' Modesty becomes him, and the 'old' bit doesn't count against you in this particular corner of the musical universe, at least not the last time I looked. He does seem to be 'always making music,' though, as a slew of releases surfacing on bandcamp through 2011-12 will testify.
First up is They All Left One by One, They All Left the Radio On on Leonardo Rosado's Heart and Soul with mastering by Jannick Schou, who doubtless contributes much to its wider-then-a-mile architecture. It falls readily into, while transcending, the dark ambient drone category - a bleak creaking cavernous space, through which stream what might be the etiolated transmissions of the eponymous abandoned radio. The sound design has more than an echo of The Caretaker's classic Selected Memories From The Haunted Ballroom (about which it's well worth reading k-punk's consideration of this album and its sound in relation to The Shining and the Hauntology meme of recent vintage).
An'On, An'On, An'On by Gimu by Heart And Soul Publisher
There's a similar Caretaker-influenced post-hauntological air to A Silent Stroll On Sombre St. on newly inaugurated label, Constellation Tatsu, based in the resplendently named San Luis Obispo, CA. According to obsessively tape-documenting blog, Weed Temple, Gimu here '...crafts dusted, melancholic atmospheres that linger in the shadows, bordering on unsettling dark ambient. Ominous melodies loop and fall into and out of focus, plodding ahead in the sea of vintage crackles and modified found sounds. Music from the bottom of the woods.'
In fact, more than The Caretaker it's a touch of the Leyland Kirby, with the self-conscious over-staging of grand melancholic gesture - the heartbreaking work of staggering etc playing about its elegiac arcs and dives. The nearest reference point that comes to mind for the thrilling abraded trajectory of the likes of "The Glorious Colours Of Leaves In The Fall" and "The Silver Passage Missed" is a cross between an obscure release of several years back on U-cover (remember them?) by Koen Daigaku and recent work by Willamette - though Gimu's sound is rather more sprawling and unkempt than the latter, and all the better for it.
Most simple of the lot yet, but possibly most effective/affective to this listener, A Season in Your Soul, originally a cassette on Sacred Phrases and now on bandcamp, is a veritable blub-fest of heartstring-tug tape-saturated synthstring swells that bring out the throat in serial lumps as each hymnal heave hits home: 'Orchestral and nostalgic, these tracks, in their composite simplicity, bring on the sense of a life once lived in grandeur. Obscured and muffled, the drones have a markedly ancient tone about them that alludes to the multi-layered, yet monochromatic, nature of the piece.'
gimu - a season in your soul // SP-29 by sacredphrases
Netlabel Pocketfields hosts Heights and Abysses trailed by the self-deprecating Brazilian with some reflections on his working methods: 'I never really know how to explain things about my music, details. There's a lot of persistence in them. It's not a case of sitting down, waiting to feel inspired, etc, etc. I struggle, I try hard, I experiment until I think a piece sounds nice, beautiful, touching, etc.' "Highly Expected (Pending) Doom" is a great teeming slab of drone goodness that well evidences the worth of this persistence.
The Inexplicable Iceberg Blue is Gimu's noisiest Heckerian maximalist manifestation, all a-buzz with a huge harmonized ultraviolet post-shoegaze wall of gruzz. Nnnnniiiiice!
The Inexplicable Iceberg Blue (Part 2) by Gimu
A quieter incarnation is to be found on A Prayer for Time, originally a cdr from cuddly drone-lovin' Mancs, Heat Death, since rolled out on Gimu's bandcamp. It sees the same short motif looped over for the course of three tracks, each progressively more drowned in cavernous noise than the last - somewhere between the recursive endlessnessism of Saito Koji and Jannick Schou's noise-flecked shimmer.
Gimu - A Prayer For Time 3 by heat death records
There have been collaborations too. Beams is a more varied collab with SF minimal guitar plucker, Kwajbasket '…combining the guitar of kwajbasket and the drones of gimu,' that rivals anything done by the likes of recent prolific tandemists, Pleq, Spheruleus, Hakobune, et al.
New Album: Kwajbasket & Gimu - "Beams" (Excerpts) (click on title for further information) by Gimu
And finally US ambienteer Darren Harper cosies up to the Noise from Brazil for Field & Fern; Mountain &Sea via Rural Colours. 'Not deterred by the greatgeographical distance between them, Gimu and Darren utilized the internet as ameans for idea exchange, and musical composition. The resulting work is bothevocative and haunting. A unique blend of each artist's individual musicalperspective; as well as an unexpected fusion of the ambient, modern-classical, dronegenres.'

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: From Incompetence to Proficiency:
The North and the South had struggled through nearly four years of brutal fighting by the time the Battle of Bentonville erupted in the spring of 1865. By then, month after month of dead and wounded soldiers had drained away most, if not all, of the romance of war that had characterized the start of the conflict. Yet the seemingly endless flood of casualties had produced at least one encouraging development, better medical care on the battlefield.
For troops wounded in the early battles of the Civil War, the disorganization of the medical corps often proved disastrous. At the First Battle of Manassas (Bull Run) on July 21, 1861, for example, many Union surgeons refused to treat casualties from regiments other than their own, and civilian ambulance drivers fled from the field at the first sound of gunfire. As a result, some wounded were left lying on the battlefield for three or four days.Assistant Surgeon John W. Foye of the Eleventh Massachusetts Infantry described one deplorable but typical scene:
The regiment was accompanied by one ambulance well provided with stimulants and surgical appliances, but without medicines or tents. The field hospital was established about a quarter of a mile from the front line when we engaged, but late in the day it was three-quarters of a mile in the rear. Up to two o'clock the Confederate wounded at the hospital nearly equaled our own. Until that time but few wounded were brought off by their comrades, but later it was not unusual to find a flesh wound escorted by half a dozen able men....At three a medical officer of rank visited the hospital on his way to the rear and left it optional with the medical officers at the hospital to join him or remain. Nearly all the surgeons left us about half-past three. Three ambulances went away at that time. The only remaining ambulance, belonging to my regiment, was captured about half-past five, within a hundred yards of the hospital. All the wounded capable of being moved had been sent off to the rear. I estimate the number left at one hundred and eighty. All of them fell into the hands of the enemy.¹
The horror and suffering at Manassas led administrators within the United States Army Medical Department to urge the formation of an ambulance corps and a formal system for establishing and operating field hospitals during battle. Many of the necessary improvements were provided by Surgeon Jonathan Letterman, Medical Director of the Union's Army of the Potomac. Part of the following reading comes from his "Field Hospital Order" of October 30, 1862; the rest appeared in guidelines given to the Medical Director of an Army Corps.
Previous to an engagement, there will be established in each Corps a hospital for each Division, the position of which will be selected by the Medical Director of the Corps. There will be selected from the Division, by the Surgeon-in-Chief...three Medical Officers, who will be the operating staff of the hospital, upon whom will rest the immediate responsibility of the performance of all important operations....
This system, which became known as the Letterman Plan, was introduced first in the East. It became a crucial part of the North's gradual improvement of its logistics--its handling of military material, facilities, and men. In 1862 the South set up its equivalent of the Letterman Plan, an "infirmary corps." In Battle Cry of Freedom James McPherson points out that, "like everything else in the southern war effort, [the infirmary corps] did wonders with the resources available but did not have enough men, medicines, or ambulances to match the Union effort." As a result, he estimates, 14% of wounded Federal troops died versus 18% of wounded Confederates.³
The Letterman plan was still untried in the Union's western armies when General William T. Sherman commenced his Atlanta Campaign in the spring of 1864. But by the time Sherman began his "March to the Sea" in November 1864, it was working well and in many instances had even been refined.
Questions for Reading 1
1. What problems did the Union Army Medical Corps have during the First Battle of Manassas?
2. At that battle, what option did the ranking medical officer give the surgeons when he visited the field hospital? How did they react? Why do you think the surgeons made this decision? Why do you think "half a dozen able men" frequently chose to escort someone with a flesh wound to the hospital?
3. According to the Letterman Plan, what were the duties of the Medical Director of the Corps? The Surgeon-in-Chief? The medical officers assigned to regiments in the field?
4. Which problems apparent in the First Battle of Manassas did the Letterman Plan attempt to solve?

Hello gorgeous! Just wanted to share with you about makeup and some beauty tips that will be helpful especially for the newbies out there, who wish to have more knowledge about makeup. Let me know if you have some additional beauty tips that might want to share as we'll , let's talk :)
Make up enhances more the beauty of a person if you will just use the proper way of doing it. You can achieve different looks from dramatic smokey eyes, pretty bold lips and even a "no make up " makeup look. However, there are several make up mistakes which some women tend to do without even realizing it. The first common mistake is applying too much eyeliner which makes you look like a panda. Women should be aware of selecting the right type of eyeliner which will not easily smudge around your eyes to avoid looking ridiculous in public. There are many types of eyeliner in the market from liquid liner, gel eyeliner and pencil eyeliner. It is best and safe to use waterproof eyeliner to avoid having a smudged eye. When doing your brow, don't make it thinner as it looks really unpleasant and absolutely looking old. If you have the time , browse on you tube and there are lots of beauty gurus that will definitely help you how to apply it, and teach how to use the products accordingly. Take your time and practice really makes it perfect .
The concealer gives women the luxury in covering up any spots or pimples and makes it less visible. Unfortunately, the huge mistake that women tend to do is lathering too much concealer into a certain area on the face. Applying a heavy amount of concealer on a pimple or wrinkles would not make your attempt of covering it a success but a failure. This is because the concealer will dry up on your face and it will form cracks. This will definitely ruin your look. It is better to just dab a slight layer of concealer and apply some powder on top. Make sure to use a shade that is similar to your skintone to look more natural. If you are looking for under eyes concealer , choose a lightweight in texture so that it won't fill in the lines.
Don't forget to share your beauty tips and tricks about how you apply your makeup:) let me know your thoughts in the comment box below. Stay pretty, healthy and happy ! Have a nice day and thank you for your time:)
Fabulously yours,

Theta of Texas
Theta of Texas, sheltered by Southwestern University, was installed on March 25, 1995. The chapter had 20 charter members and 30 student initiates. Currently, Southwestern has one of 11 chapters in the state of Texas, including Austin College, Baylor University, Rice University, Southern Methodist University, Texas A&M University, Texas Christian University, Texas Tech University, Trinity University, University of Dallas, and The University of Texas at Austin. For more information about Phi Beta Kappa, please visit www.pbk.org.
The chapter inducts new members the day before Commencement each spring. Prospective new members are invited to join the chapter in February or March annually. In addition to inducting new members, the chapter sponsors lectures on campus and supports other endeavors that recognize and encourage scholarship in the arts and sciences.
About Phi Beta Kappa
Election to Phi Beta Kappa is a singular honor, one of the highest you can attain from your collegiate experience; it represents to the world at large that the member achieved a high level of academic scholarship, made intelligent choices, studied the broad areas of the liberal arts, and set and reached high goals for themselves. Almost all members are elected by the chapters from candidates for degrees in the liberal arts and sciences, usually from the top five to 10 percent of the graduating class.
Phi Beta Kappa was the first society to adopt Greek letters for a name and to introduce the features that have characterized such organizations ever since, including mottoes in both Latin and Greek, a code of laws, and an elaborate form of initiation. The Society's name is formed by the first letter of the phrase Philosophia Biou Kybernetes, translated as "love of wisdom, the helmsman of life.
Based on the tenet that the test of education lies not in what people know but in what they are, the objectives of Phi Beta Kappa include not the mere acquisition of knowledge, but also the development of intellectual honesty and tolerance, a broad range of intellectual interests, and understanding. To this end, the Society continues to sponsor a number of programs and awards, including the Visiting Scholar Program, several scholarships and professorships, and three book awards for contributions in the sciences, literature, history, and philosophy.

In the war against masturbation, who will have your back?
Brigham Young University released a video PSA that is being ridiculed for its merging of an anti-pornography message with real war.
The video features a student who has seemingly succumbed to porn binging, staring blankly at his laptop screen and leaving his door open.
Things soon take a turn for the weird (weirder?) when BYU President Kim B. Clark, who has been narrating the video, says, "The young man is spiritually wounded on the battlefield of the Great War."
Then the scene switches to a World War II-era battlefield in a deep forest. Our porn-addled young man is apparently wounded, sitting against a tree as bullets and explosions can be heard in the background.
A fellow "soldier" sees our struggling victim through his binoculars and races to save him. The scene then switches to back to the dorm room. Our soldier is really a concerned friend/roommate and directs our porn-binger to an on-campus counselor.
A parody video has since been released and BYU has closed comments on the YouTube video.
Below is a gallery of movies made about porn movies.

In the passenger seat of a topless mini Jeep, I'm clinging on for dear life as Kim Novak, star of Vertigo, chuckles with delight. We're careening across her sprawling 240-acre ranch in southern Oregon in the open-roof 4×4, bounding off-road over hillocks, crashing through the rushing river that runs through her property and swerving to avoid a llama sitting in the road.
In 1965, Kim Novak left Hollywood. A venerated screen siren of the Fifties and Sixties, she was stung by bad parts and bad reviews, including the tepid response to her performance in Vertigo. Recently voted the greatest film of all time, back in 1958 Vertigo was widely regarded as a Hitchcock misfire. Less than a decade after starring in one of history's most beloved films, Novak had had enough and said goodbye to Hollywood.
Novak, 79, lives on the ranch with her husband of 36 years, Dr Robert Malloy, a retired veterinarian. Not forgetting their five horses and the herd of llamas. "When Bob and I were dating, I had one llama, and whenever we'd walk around [the llama would] come and walk between us," she says, her voice retaining its unmistakable husky tones. "So Bob said, 'You've got to get rid of that thing!' And I told him, 'You're bringing two kids into the relationship. I get to bring one llama.' So he said, 'All right, then we better get another one.'"
Though Kim Novak is now a woman of the outdoors, her "Hitchcock blonde" glamour is very much intact. With those long, golden tresses flowing down her shoulders, she is dressed in jeans, a loose embroidered blouse and large round purple-tinted glasses. She looks decades less than her age and carries herself, zipping around the ranch, with a vigour that would leave most 30 year-olds in her dust.

In my many years as a mental health professional, I am amazed at how many people I have witnessed who spend an enormous amount of time, and often large sums of money, taking good care of their physical health with very little time spent with the balance of what also really counts — their spiritual and emotional self.

Fishing tournament target: cystic fibrosis cure
Florida Keys fishing guide Gary Ellis beamed as he watched his pretty daughter Nicole, 28, flirt with two handsome Army Special Forces soldiers during the 25th Redbone Celebrity Tournament.
"Did you get their numbers?" Dad asked.
"Not yet, but I'm working on it," she responded with a smile.
Gary and Susan Ellis are full of hope that their daughter will one day marry and become a mom. It's a great leap from the early years of Nicole's life, when the Ellises did everything they could to make sure she made it to adulthood.
Nicole was born with cystic fibrosis, which causes the body to produce sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and prevents the digestive system from working properly.
In 1984, the outlook for someone born with the inherited chronic disease was bleak. Doctors told the new parents that with good care, their newborn "might live to be a teenager."
"We didn't know what cystic fibrosis was, but we knew we were going to fight it," Gary Ellis said. "My daughter was not going to die a teenager."
Almost immediately, the Ellises began a decades-long crusade to find a cure for this cruel killer of kids. They made regular trips to the mainland to volunteer for events that raised money for cystic fibrosis research: bowl-a-thons, walkathons and the Pringles Light Tennis Classic, with Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova.
In 1988, they decided to put Gary's fishing expertise to good use. They founded the Redbone Celebrity Tournament, running it from the kitchen table of their Islamorada home.
During a half day of bonefishing on the flats, Gary convinced his client and crusty friend Ted Williams, the Hall of Fame baseball great for the Boston Red Sox, to lend his name to the cause.
"Teddy Ballgame could put more expletives in one sentence than any living human being," Gary said during a recent interview. "He told me: 'I don't [expletive] fish in [expletive] fishing tournaments." I said: 'It's to save kids' lives.' I knew he had a big heart."
Williams, a part-time Islamorada resident, went on to rant about how many fish the tournament would kill. "I quit killing fish,'' he said. That's the moment Gary decided it would be a catch-and-release tournament.
Williams autographed an artist's sketch of himself. He wrote: "Save young lives, fish the Redbone for cystic fibrosis." His name led to a slew of celebrities attending the inaugural event, including Curt Gowdy of American Sportsman; then-New York Mets manager Davey Johnson, now manager of the Washington Nationals; retired New York Yankees legend Joe DiMaggio; retired Boston Celtics star John Havlicek, and Phil Harris, the voice of Baloo the bear in Disney's The Jungle Book.
The mission: to catch redfish, bonefish and "the cure for cystic fibrosis."
Despite 25-mile-per-hour winds blowing out the torches during the outdoor kickoff dinner, the 33-boat tournament was a success, raising $16,000. Many of the celebrities wanted to return the next year. Soon, it grew to a trilogy series, with tournaments added in Key Largo and Key West. It got so crazy, with more than 90 boats registering for one tournament, that the boat entries were limited to 65.
"The number is significant," Susan Ellis said. "Young children who have a difficult time pronouncing cystic fibrosis are taught to call their disease 'sixty-five roses.' "
Many celebrities say they have been inspired by Nicole, whom they watched blossom from the adorable blond child who melted hearts at the early Redbone tournaments into a worldly young woman.
Some now host Redbone at-large tournaments, including former University of Miami and Denver Broncos lineman Mark Cooper (the Rocky Mountain Fly in Aspen, Colo.) and baseball Hall of Famer Wade Boggs (Crocodile Bay OSA Classic in Costa Rica). "We continue to carry the torch and fight for Nicole and everybody else," Boggs said.
Under the Redbone banner, there are now 29 fishing tournaments in 11 states and four countries. Over the years, Army Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, supermodel Lauren Hutton, late saxophonist Clarence Clemons, retired astronaut Bruce Melnick and NFL Hall of Famer Ted "the Mad Stork" Hendricks also fished the tournaments, which have raised more than $16 million for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
"We hoped there would be a cure by now, but we won't stop until there is one," Susan Ellis said.
Take one look at Nicole today, a vivacious five-foot-two, 113-pound woman, and it's impossible to imagine that her life has always been a daily struggle filled with long breathing treatments, zillions of pills for her digestive problems and physical therapy called "clapping" that requires pounding on her chest to break up the mucus buildup.
Now there are vibrating vests that replace the clapping. But it's still an ordeal. Nicole needs to wear the vest for 30 to 45 minutes at least twice a day. She still has to do breathing treatments and take a regiment of pills.
At the recent 25th Redbone kickoff dinner, she was the guest speaker. She talked about a life that has included world travel, earning a master's degree in business and working for the global frozen food empire Rich Products. She manages business development and marketing of the company's brands in parts of South and Central America and the Caribbean. Her fluent Spanish, burnished during a college semester abroad in Spain, has come in handy.
"If her speech didn't move you, nothing will," said Johnson.
Johnson's wife Susan agreed: "Davey and I both have lost kids, and we were floored to tears over her spirit. If it was me, I'd go to Costa Rica and sit on a beach and smoke pot. But she's not doing that. She's furthering her education and looking forward to her future."
The efforts of the Ellises and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation have been paying off slowly but surely. Medical advances have extended life expectancy for those with the disease to age 37.
Just this year, a "kind of miracle drug" called Kalydeco was approved by the FDA. It's a breakthrough, the first drug to deal with the underlying causes of the disease and restore function of the protein the defective gene targets. While the drug helps people with only one particular mutation (about 4 percent of the CF population), scientists are excited that it can be adapted for other mutations.
"I'm confident we're on the 20-yard line and it's just a matter of time and money before we can manage the disease for the 100 percent, so people can live with CF and no longer die from it," said Christina Landshut, executive director of the South Florida office of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for 27 years.
"But I look at Nicole, and I know the clock is ticking," said Landshut, who has known the Ellis family for more than 25 years. "I look forward to the day we can celebrate the end of the disease with them. It's scary to live with it."
Nicole said she always has had hope: "I've never been left in the dark without any new drug or new therapy to try. But at the same time, my lung functioning still trends down."
She recently spent 19 days in the hospital. She tried to keep up with her work, putting a do-not-disturb sign on her door when she was on Skype for a conference call with co-workers in South America.
"I have good days and bad days," she said. "Some days, I think: 'Whoa, why did I get my MBA if I have to go part time or cut back?' But other times I see progress, with a new therapy coming out, and I think it will be in time for me to have my career and a family some day. I'm just at the mercy of how quickly the cure comes."
