America East Championship Central
BALTIMORE – UMBC softball is set to make its return to the America East Championships for the first time since 2011 and the sixth time overall when it travels to Stony Brook, N.Y. for the three-day tournament. The fourth-seeded Retrievers open play against the host and top-seeded Seawolves on Thursday, May 8 at 1 p.m. at University Field.
The Retrievers captured the fourth seed in the tournament with an 8-9 conference record and owning the head-to-head tie-breaker over Maine, after taking two-of-three in the series in Orono in mid-April. UMBC concluded the regular-season with a 31-20 overall mark, its tenth 30-win season in program history and first since 2009.
UMBC led the league in runs scored, runs batted in, hits, home runs and walks during the 2014 season, while also posting the most runs scored, hits and home runs since 2009 and the most extra-base hits and runs batted in since 2007. The Retrievers were piloted offensively by the conference's hits, home runs and runs batted in leader, junior catcher Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby). Hall posted UMBC single-season top-10 marks in eight categories, including the third-highest home run total (14), fourth-highest batting average (.405) and fifth-highest RBI total (51). Moreover, she ranks in the top-30 nationally in toughest to strikeout (29.4), slugging percentage (.777) and home runs (14).
Sophomore utility player Danielle O'Neill (Lothian, Md./Southern) joined Hall to become just the first Retriever duo since 2006 to each post 10-plus home runs. O'Neill, the lead-off batter, drew a Retrievers' single-season top-10 mark in walks with 33 and led the league in runs scored (43). Her .445 on-base percentage and .529 slugging percentage ranked second on the team. Despite missing time due to injury, senior first baseman Chelsea Bertoglio (Laguna Hills, Calif./Laguna Hills/Saddleback College) was second on the team in runs batted in (28) and posted 11 extra-base hits.
The Retrievers also relied on their youth throughout the season, with freshman Kaelin Jackson (Export, Pa./Franklin Regional) and sophomore Bridget O'Malley (Brooklyn, Md./Seton Keough) playing vital roles in UMBC's infield. Jackson was tied for second on the team with 14 extra-base hits, including a team-best three triples, while shortstop O'Malley led the team in stolen bases (seven) and did not miss a start for the second-straight season.
In the circle, UMBC has looked to a rookie cast for a majority of its action and success during the 2014 campaign. The Retrievers were the only America East staff to post a perfect game and a no-hitter this season and allowed the least amount of walks for a UMBC staff since 1996. Freshman Kelly Lane (Albany, N.Y./Colonie Central) registered the program's first perfect game with a season-best 10 strikeouts in a 13-0 victory against UMES. Classmate Jessica Holte (Ashland, Va./Atlee) threw a no-hitter in the contest that clinched the Retrievers' playoff spot in a five-inning 10-0 victory against Hartford. Holte matched the program's highest win total for a freshman, posting an 18-9 overall record on the season and ranks second in the nation in walks allowed per seven innings (0.73). The rookie tossed the most innings in a single-season for a UMBC freshman pitcher in program history (181.1), while also ranking in the top-five in a single-season in starts (24), appearances (31), strikeouts (103) and complete games (22).
Stony Brook (32-16, 15-2 AEC) is the America East regular-season champion and is looking to defend its 2013 America East Tournament title. The Seawolves lead the league in opposing batting average (.230) and rank second in earned run average (2.69), behind a 1.96 ERA from Allison Cukrov. The junior led the America East in wins (21) and saves (three) and posted a team-best seven shutouts.
Offensively, Olivia Mintum led the team with a .310 batting average and 44 hits, while Bria Green drilled 13 home runs and 20 extra-base hits. Green and Shayla Giosia each tallied over 30 runs batted in for the season.

So, when I first start writing these evolution raps, about six months ago,
Some of the early drafts, they sounded kinda like this:
"Yo, yo, the Origin of Species
Ain't no feces, dawg, believe me…"
And that's all I could think of
So then I thought, this needs to be re-written
And sometimes people ask: "How does your show get written?"
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
And how do I generally develop my lyricism?
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
And how do human beings ever learn to do anything?
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
And evolution is really an algorithm that goes
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
So the genetic code of every living thing was written.
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
See, the genes are like a text with a thousand pages.
And revision occurs in the random changes
That come from mutations, and when they see the light
That's the performance, that's the phenotype
And natural selection is the feedback side
That's about who survives and whose genes catch rides
In the next generation, yes, what I'm saying
Is that a rap performance like this is the best illustration
Of the way descent with modification works
'Cause the performance is necessary to change the words
To decide which have an impact and which to send back
To the drawing board, in fact I just did that
When you failed to react, 'cause any line can change
And mutations occur when I improvise on stage
'Cause up until this moment, everything I said was off the page.
But now it's time for me to switch to freestyle, yeah, random speeches
Charles Darwin was right, you could examine his thesis
Even though creationists are always trying to smash it to pieces
Evo devo people found for it up in an animal's fetus.
And archaeologists found evidence for it up in ambulocetus
Yeah, that's the bones they found of a walking whale.
I'm kinda cocky with my tales, plus I see evidence for evolution
Everytime I talk to females; You can see it in their eyes
The way they sparkle, with my vocabulary
Plus they're kind of impressed that I rap on the Tales of Canterbury
So when I talk to my ancestors in my sleep, I'm like "Thank you very
Much!" 'Cause you gave me the skills to leave mad descendants
Yes, creationists are mad pretentious; I'm just tryin' to smash these sentences
I'm tryin' to dispel all creationist myths like I was Daniel Dennett
Because I think religion is pretty much just an anaesthetic
But I'm gonna have to take it to that place, and rap frickin' awesome
Yes, you know I'm tryin' to be the Hip-hop version of Richard Dawkins
Even though his attitude can sometimes be a little pompous
I think his powers of logic are frickin' awesome
Plus he's dealin' with the central problem of modern life
It's belief in reason versus passive belief in an afterlife
Which leads to things like animal and human sacrifice
Yeah, I'm tryin to come through kinda shifty
Like I was a purse-snatcher; you can call me the word-master
Most rappers next to me kinda look like Homo ergaster
Or Homo erectus I'm just tryin' to use Darwin
To get a total perspective that's right, that's how I rip it up
Creationists are trippin' up; yes, I'm tryin' to take it back
To the days of Australopithecus, you could try to follow me
But first you'd better study human nature and base it
On primatology; otherwise it won't be very worthy
Just ask Ms Sarah Hrdy; yes, she had some theories
That she tried to give to all of us, yes, I'm tryin' to abolish
All the creationist non-knowledge, and show them evidence
Like the bones of Tiktaalik; yes, this is how I'm just
Tryin' to represent it for my fam; I learned about my origins
Up in the Descent of Man
And that's how my show gets written and re-written
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
And anyone can use this algorithm to learn anything
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
But remember, you get the feedback, and you make the decision
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
You wanna know about evolution? This is the definition
Like this: performance, feedback, revision

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
Activity 1: Democrats and Whigs
When the research is completed, have one person in each group act as candidate for president and debate his opponent. During each candidate's speech, the members of the opposite party may wish to distract or influence the other by singing campaign songs or shouting slogans. After both candidates have spoken, have students decide how they might have voted had they lived in that time period. Ask them to discuss what issues are no longer important and which ones remain of concern.
Activity 2: Comparing Presidents
Activity 3: Political Cartoons
Many cartoons are developed from popular comments made about an important person. Tell students that Congressman Davy Crockett once said that when Van Buren entered the Senate chamber, he "struts and swaggers like a crow in the gutter." Van Buren was considered to be a bit vain about his personal appearance, which was always impeccable, and in cartoons he was usually depicted to be somewhat of a dandy. Do students consider the image of Van Buren projected by Crockett a fair one? Do students believe that his personal taste was reflected in the way he remodeled and refurbished Lindenwald? Are polished manners and taste for fashionable attire suggestive of the attitude a person might have toward the appearance of his or her house?
Activity 4: Local Political Campaigns

Table of Content
PINY_MD(c) is a multipurpose, object-oriented molecular simulation package developed as a collaborative effort between Indiana University, New York University and the University of Pennsylvania. PINY_MD(c) is capable of performing a wide variety of molecular dynamics, electronic structure, and geometry optimization calculations. Such capabilities include force-field based (``classical'') simulations on system ranging in complexity from simple molecular liquids (.e.g, water, ammonia, liquid alkanes) and crystals (e.g., ice) to large biomolecular systems such as the HIV-1 protease in solution. Long range electrostatic forces are treated using smooth particle-mesh Ewald summation techniques. Biomolecular systems can be constructed using the code's built-in molecular building tools. In addition, PINY_MD(c) can perform ab initio molecular dynamics and geometry optimization using plane-wave based generalized gradient (GGA) density functional based representations of the electronic structure combined with the Car-Parrinello propagation scheme.

The information here is applicable to LSU HPC and LONI systems.
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.
System resource file: /etc/profile
When one access the shell, the following user files are read in if they exist (in order):
- ~/.bash_profile (anything sent to STDOUT or STDERR will cause things like rsync to break)
- ~/.bashrc (interactive login only)
- ~/.profile
When a user logs out of an interactive session, the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if it exists.
The default value of the environmental variable, PATH, is set automatically using SoftEnv. See below for more information.
The file ~/.cshrc is used to customize the user's environment if his login shell is /bin/tcsh.
SoftEnv is a utility that is supposed to help users manage complex user environments with potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
System Default Path
When a user logs in, the system /etc/profile or /etc/csh.cshrc (depending on login shell, and mirrored from csm:/cfmroot/etc/profile) calls /usr/local/packages/softenv-1.6.2/bin/use.softenv.sh to set up the default path via the SoftEnv database.
SoftEnv looks for a user's ~/.soft file and updates the variables and paths accordingly.
Viewing Available Packages
The command softenv will provide a list of available packages. The listing will look something like:
$ softenv These are the macros available: * @default These are the keywords explicitly available: +amber-8 Applications: 'Amber', version: 8 Amber is a +apache-ant-1.6.5 Ant, Java based XML make system version: 1.6. +charm-5.9 Applications: 'Charm++', version: 5.9 Charm++ +default this is the default environment...nukes /etc/ +essl-4.2 Libraries: 'ESSL', version: 4.2 ESSL is a sta +gaussian-03 Applications: 'Gaussian', version: 03 Gaussia ... some stuff deleted ...
Managing SoftEnv
The file ~/.soft in the user's home directory is where the different packages are managed. Add the +keyword into your .soft file. For instance, ff one wants to add the Amber Molecular Dynamics package into their environment, the end of the .soft file should look like this:
To update the environment after modifying this file, one simply uses the resoft command:
% resoft
The command soft can be used to manipulate the environment from the command line. It takes the form:
$ soft add/delete +keyword
Using this method of adding or removing keywords requires the user to pay attention to possible order dependencies. That is, best results require the user to remove keywords in the reverse order in which they were added. It is handy to test out individual keys, but can lead to trouble if changing multiple keys. Changing the .soft file and issuing the resoft is the recommended way of dealing with multiple changes.

Modules is a utility which helps users manage the complex business of setting up their shell environment in the face of potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
Default Setup
When a user logs in, the system looks for a file named .modules in their home directory. This file contains module commands to set up the initial shell environment.
Viewing Available Modules
The command
$ module avail
displays a list of all the modules available. The list will look something like:

The module names take the form appname/version/compiler, providing the application name, the version, and information about how it was compiled (if needed).
Managing Modules
Besides avail, there are other basic module commands to use for manipulating the environment. These include:
add/load mod1 mod2 ... modn . . . Add modules rm/unload mod1 mod2 ... modn . . Remove modules switch/swap mod . . . . . . . . . Switch or swap one module for another display/show . . . . . . . . . .

The -h option to module will list all available commands.
Module is currently available only on SuperMIC.
Usage requires invoking the PINY_MD command and providing it with the name of an input file as an argument. Generically, it looks like:
$ piny_md_machine sim_input
To find the name assigned to the executable, use the soft-dbq to examine the softenv key used for PINY. It will give the path to executable. For instance:

▶ QSub FAQ?
Portable Batch System: qsub
All HPC@LSU clusters use the Portable Batch System (PBS) for production processing. Jobs are submitted to PBS using the qsub command. A PBS job file is basically a shell script which also contains directives for PBS.
$ qsub job_script
Where job_script is the name of the file containing the script.
PBS Directives
PBS directives take the form:
#PBS -X value
Where X is one of many single letter options, and value is the desired setting. All PBS directives must appear before any active shell statement.
Example Job Script
#!/bin/bash # # Use "workq" as the job queue, and specify the allocation code. # #PBS -q workq #PBS -A your_allocation_code # # Assuming you want to run 16 processes, and each node supports 4 processes, # you need to ask for a total of 4 nodes. The number of processes per node # will vary from machine to machine, so double-check that your have the right # values before submitting the job. # #PBS -l nodes=4:ppn=4 # # Set the maximum wall-clock time. In this case, 10 minutes. # #PBS -l walltime=00:10:00 # # Specify the name of a file which will receive all standard output, # and merge standard error with standard output. # #PBS -o /scratch/myName/parallel/output #PBS -j oe # # Give the job a name so it can be easily tracked with qstat. # #PBS -N MyParJob # # That is it for PBS instructions. The rest of the file is a shell script. # # PLEASE ADOPT THE EXECUTION SCHEME USED HERE IN YOUR OWN PBS SCRIPTS: # # 1. Copy the necessary files from your home directory to your scratch directory. # 2. Execute in your scratch directory. # 3. Copy any necessary files back to your home directory. # Let's mark the time things get started. date # Set some handy environment variables. export HOME_DIR=/home/$USER/parallel export WORK_DIR=/scratch/myName/parallel # Set a variable that will be used to tell MPI how many processes will be run. # This makes sure MPI gets the same information provided to PBS above. export NPROCS=`wc -l $PBS_NODEFILE |gawk '//{print $1}'` # Copy the files, jump to WORK_DIR, and execute! The program is named "hydro". cp $HOME_DIR/hydro $WORK_DIR cd $WORK_DIR mpirun -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE -np $NPROCS $WORK_DIR/hydro # Mark the time processing ends. date # And we're out'a here! exit 0

FARMINGTON — Since a local feline rescue agency partnered with the Farmington Police Department and began trapping this month to control the large population of feral and stray cats in town, 19 felines have been taken.
The partnership was formed in the wake of a reported rabies outbreak over the summer.
Police Chief Kevin Willey stressed the 19 trapped felines will be returned after they are neutered or spayed and vaccinated against rabies and feline distemper.
He noted the rescue agency Cats1st met with some resistance from the community during its efforts in the past few weeks, largely from those concerned about the welfare of the animals. The agency, based in Newfields, is a grant-funded operation that practices as a licensed, low-kill shelter and has also worked with other neighboring communities.
"They're fearful that if they're trapped, they won't be returned and that's not the goal or the role of the organization," Willey explained. "They track. They medically check them. They give them shots, vaccinate, neuter and then release."
The animals trapped since Nov. 1 are only a few of the 150 felines Cats1st is grant-funded to care for during its yearlong partnership with the Farmington Police Department. Willey previously stated the group will also work to identify large colonies of stray and feral cats near the downtown area to "ultimately reduce the risk of another rabies outbreak."
In late August, police learned an elderly resident on Acorn Court was bitten by her cat, though resident Paul Duross, who says the victim is his mother, said she was merely scratched. Police reported tests at the state lab confirmed the cat had rabies, and the animal was subsequently euthanized.
At that time officials learned there were several stray cats frequenting the area. Six additional cats were euthanized that week and monitoring of the dead-end street in the downtown area continued. Trapping ensued for several days following, but only one cat was found after police requested all residents properly identify their animals or keep them inside.
Today, Willey said he still believes rabies is an area of concern in Farmington.
"We still have a large number of stray cats. (Cats1st) is working on it," he said, "but it does take time."
Residents living in areas with a high concentration of stray or feral cats in Farmington are urged to contact Cats1st to have traps set up there. Betsy Coes of Cats1st may be reached at 603-760-7877 or email@example.com.

It Sucked!!!!
I will admit that my first impression wasn't completely correct. After I did some math I realize that the set is a little better then I originally thought but it still has some serious Itemization problems.
My Analysis:
I won't go into all of the math but I have a model that estimates the relative value of each of the stats. I also have also entered all of the raid gear available into a spread sheet to and and then calculate a value for each piece using the relative stat values. I then use this value to rank each of the gear items to come up with a Best in Slot list for each gear slot so that I can make the best gear choices possible.
Anyway, I've inserted the new T8 items into the model to see how they rank in relation to the T7 set and other gear currently available in game. The results were not good.
Let me give you a little back ground before I go into the results.
1. My ranking is purely a DPS ranking. Stam and MP5 have no value in my ranking, and Spirit is only measured in how it converts to Spell Power. I'm not saying those stats don't have value, but they are very hard to quantify.
2. The relative value of stats will change depending on your gear level. The hypothetical moonkin I used had 2900 spell power, 41% crit chance, 29.4% haste before NG, and 99.9% chance to hit. All of these numbers include raid buffs. The hit chance is so high to minimize the marginal value of Hit rating. I also assume that SF is used 75% of the time while Wrath is used 25% of the time.
3. Using the stats above the relative value of stats comes out to Hit Rating = 1.48, Spell Power = 1, Haste Rating = 0.84, Crit Rating = 0.80, Int = 0.35, and Spirit = 0.15. As I said before Stam and Mp5 have no value because they cannot be directly converted into DPS.
The Results:
In short, Three of the five T7.25 items are better then their equivalent item in T8.25. This is in terms of pure stats. I have excluded the set bonuses from this comparison. The other two items are huge improvements over the T7.25 item and make the entire T8.25 set a little better then the entire T7.25 set.
Here are the Rankings:
Using this quantitative approach to evaluating the gear I come up with mixed conclusions. In total, T8 is better then T7 if you ignore the set bonuses, but how we get there is strange. Here are the stat differences when comparing the Heroic versions of the two tiers:
T8.25 Conqueror's Nightsong Trousers - 325.7606
T8.10 Valorous Nightsong Trousers - 302.6301
T7.25 Valorous Dreamwalker Trousers - 218.9037
T7.10 Heroes' Dreamwalker Trousers - 194.9011
T7.25 Valorous Dreamwalker Cover - 402.1844
T8.25 Conqueror's Nightsong Cover - 393.3498
T8.10 Valorous Nightsong Cover - 373.4473
T7.10 Heroes' Dreamwalker Cover - 353.7805
T7.25 Valorous Dreamwalker Mantle - 216.1341
T7.10 Heroes Dreamwalker Mantle - 188.4584
T8.25 Conqueror's Nightsong Mantle - 179.3919
T8.10 Valorous Nightsong Mantle - 167.2165
T7.25 Valorous Dreamwalkers Vestments - 257.1615
T8.25 Conqueror's Nightsong Vestments - 256.4061
T8.10 Valorous Nightsong Vestments - 239.0354
T7.10 Heroes' Dreamwalker Vestments - 227.6252
T8.25 Conqueror's Nightsong Gloves - 219.1752
T8.10 Valorous Nightsong Gloves - 202.2246
T7.25 Valorous Dreamwalker Gloves - 164.2674
T7.10 Heroes' Dreamwalker Gloves - 147.4499
Int: 394 - 345 = 49 Gain
Stam: 381 - 345 = 36 Gain
Spirit: 216 - 94 = 122 Gain
Crit: 132 - 254 = -122 Loss
Haste: 81 - 122 = -41 Loss
Hit : 176 - 83 = 93 Gain
SP: 542 - 453 = 89 Gain
* T8 is the first number.
As I said above, T8.25 is better the T7.25 in terms of pure stats, but that doesn't mean that T8.25 is as good as it could be. Really, T8.25 is getting its superior ranking more due to the item level of the gear then the itemization on that gear. The T8.25 does have a huge increase in Hit and Spirit, but that is worth 155.94 (93 * 1.48 + 122 * 0.15 = 155.94). On the flip side we loose a lot of Crit and Haste. It is worth 132.04 (122 * 0.80 + 41 * 0.84 = 132.04). As you can see what we gain in hit and Spirit is almost completely wiped out by what we lose in Crit and Haste. So most of improvement in T8.25 comes from in the relatively standard increases in Spell Power and Intelligence.
Another good indication of how poorly designed T8.25 is by comparing looking at the relative difference between T7.25 and T7.10. The Heroic set has an item level 13 above the item level of the normal set. This is the same level difference as level difference between T8.25 and T7.25.
T7.25 has a value of 1258.651, T7.10 has a value of 1112.215. So by going from the normal set to the heroic set you gain 146.436 in value. If Blizzard had just upgraded the T7.25 set with similar stats as the upgrade from the T7.10, then the new heroic set would have a value of 1405.087 instead of 1374.084 from the actual set.
The situation isn't as bad as I originally thought. At first I thought Moonkin might completely skip T8.25 but in actuality T8.25 is an improvement over our Dreamwalker sets. However, that isn't our only option.
The main attraction to gear sets is the set bonuses. If the set bonuses aren't useful then most classes can build a better set out of non tier pieces. The jury is till out on the moonkin T8 Set Bonuses. It looks like the 2T8 bonus is getting increased to 15% (as I suggested. :D ), but the 4T8 is a complete unknown. As it stand right now I wouldn't be surprised if most people skip 4T8 bonus and just use the Hand and the Legs from T8.25. I haven't evaluated all of the new gear in Ulduar, but I am sure that there are better itemized pieces for the other three armor slots.
If Blizz really wants Moonkin to use the full T8 set then they need to change the itemization. The T7 sets are an excellent example of what our set should look like since they are itemized very well.

Representatives and Committees
Staff Council Representatives
Staff Council Representatives are elected annually in April and represent staff from all corners of the University of Vermont (UVM). Using UVM's Organizational Chart, we have established 17 Units which include all colleges and major divisions. Representation in these areas is determined annually by a staff census performed through Human Resource Services in accordance with our bylaws. Elected Representatives must be regular full time or part time employees who have successfully completed their probationary period.* To find out who your Staff Council Representative is, click here.
Each Representative is required to attend our monthly Staff Council Meeting and participate on at least one of our four Staff Council Standing Committees. The time commitment for both of these responsibilities is approximately 2.5 hours per month. In addition, each Representative is also required to distribute information regarding Staff Council business, activities, and communications to their units. Each representative serves a 3 year term, but if changes occur in one's personal or professional life that make it difficult to maintain this commitment, one can step down from their position and a new election in the unit will be held.
If you are interested in running for an open representative position in your unit, please visit our Candidacy Application page for more information.
Staff Council Committees
There are four Staff Council Standing Committees. You do not need to be an elected Representative to serve on these committees*.The time commitment for each of these committees is approximately one hour per month.
If you are interested in becoming a member, please fill out our Committee Membership Application or visit our Get Involved page for more information on how to participate
*Although the Staff Council serves as the voice and advocate for all staff, it does not have the same function as Collective Bargaining Units to which some members of the UVM staff belong. Those staff who belong to UE Local 267are not permitted to participate in Staff Council at the request of their union.

On Thursday, the Houston Dynamo officially announced that they have signed midfielder Sammy Appiah to a contract. The team's third round draft pick was signed as the team's fourth developmental player.
"It's been a good preseason for him," noted Coach Dominic Kinnear. "Even though we saw him as a guy who played out wide right at the combine, we kind of forced him into that position at times due to lack of numbers. He did some good things on the ball, he's a nice young man and a great worker, so we're happy to keep him here."
Appiah turned 25 years old on Thursday making him older than most rookies entering the league from college. The Obuasi, Ghana native spent four years at Boston University and played in all 78 games for his team during his college career.
"It was a great experience," said Appiah. "My first year I was adjusting to America when I came here and [I was] getting used to it. That was a little tough. I think my four years, I had fun and had a great time with the guys. It was like family for me and I had great moments there."
Appiah was one of the lucky few who just happened to catch the eye of a scout, who was on a recruiting visit to Ghana during Christmas.
As a fellow native of Ghana, Appiah has formed immediate kinship with teammate Dominic Oduro.
"He's always advising me regarding how to play professionally and how to lead my life," said Appiah. "He's a great guy and helping me out a lot and he's been like a brother to me."
The midfielder, who appeared in nine of Houston's eleven preseason games, has had very little difficulty integrating himself into the veteran laden Dynamo locker room.
"It's easy to fit in here," said Appiah. "They are great guys and you see them on TV and you think you can't relate to these guys, but they are all easy going and nice guys and I am really having fun."
As for which position he sees himself playing, Appiah has no preference and just wants to help out the team however the coaching staff sees fit to utilize him.
As a third round pick, Appiah has tough acts to follow as Danny Cruz, Geoff Cameron, and Corey Ashe have each contributed to the Dynamo despite not being first round draft picks. The midfielder hopes to follow in their footsteps.
"They came in, worked hard and got a spot," said the Ghana native. "That's what I am trying to do. Just willing to work hard every day and see what will come out of it."

There are only six hours left of "24," which means you only have six chances left to watch Jack Bauer kidnap, bind, torture, and maim bad guys while completely avoiding any kind of tedious paperwork. It promises to be a most explosive quarter of a day, and the show's producers are clearly looking to send Jack out on a very high, mushroom cloudy note. Because they've brought in Mr. Blonde himself, the one and only Michael Madsen, to join the cast for the final stretch. From the Boston Globe:
This week, Jack seeks help from an old friend played by Michael Madsen, that master of quiet menace, while President Taylor turns to a private security specialist played by D.B. Sweeney.
If DB Sweeney's security specialist turns out to be a redneck trucker who gets abducted by aliens, I think we're all in for a treat. But back to Madsen. Now seriously, could you think of a better candidate to play on old friend of Jack Bauer? Michael Madsen has earned a living playing Sonny Black, Mr. Blonde, and Budd aka Sidewinder. He's sliced off ears and buried Uma Thurman alive. He knows a thing or two about putting people in very tight plastic cuffs and then pulling out their toenails with a pair of pliers. He's the go-to guy for that kind of thing.
When you think about it, it's kind of insane that Madsen has joined the cast of "24" only now. He should have been on this show years ago, chopping off fingers and then coolly asking terrorists if they need a hand. And just imagine what Madsen will do when he, in grand "24" fashion, turns double agent and become PURE MENACING EVIL. Then he'll torture people, and then DOUBLE torture them, just because he's such a cold bastard. I can't wait.
Madsen's run starts tonight. Get your K-Billy's Super Sound Of The 70's ready to go.

Studying ice crystals to understand the cloud-climate connection
(PhysOrg.com) -- Beginning in mid-December, scientists will undertake a special mission to squeeze the secrets out of ice crystals in cirrus clouds. The SPARTICUS, or Small Particles in Cirrus, campaign will weave together data from an instrumented airplane and ground-based instruments to gather the most comprehensive set of ice crystal measurements yet. Scientists from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are part of the team that will define the scientific mission and they are leading the project's daily operations.
Ice crystals reflect a portion of the solar energy that reaches the Earth, and absorb energy emitted by the Earth, making cirrus clouds the only cloud type that warms the atmosphere. So accurate information about crystal shape and size will contribute to improving our understanding of the effects of clouds in a warming climate. Past measurements have been inaccurate because the shape of aircraft probes had a shattering effect on ice crystals, resulting in a disproportionate amount of small particles being measured. One of the main objectives of SPARTICUS is to ascertain the abilities of new probes that could minimize the shattering effect.
"Improved characterization of the instruments means we'll have more accurate data on the number of ice crystals in cirrus clouds, and how much solar energy is being absorbed and reflected by these clouds," said Dr. Jennifer Comstock, a PNNL atmospheric scientist who helps direct the science behind the project. "We need to nail down the impacts of clouds and cloud properties to develop better models for helping to understand the climate system and predict the impact of future climates on society."
Research flights start in December 2009 and continue through April 2010. The SPARTICUS aircraft will take samples above the Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility's Southern Great Plains site in Oklahoma. Some flights will be timed to correspond with satellite overpasses for additional comparative measurements. Data will be sent to the ARM archive where it will be accessible to scientists.
PNNL scientists Drs. Xiaohong Liu and Jennifer Comstock are part of the team defining the science mission of SPARTICUS. PNNL's Dr. Beat Schmid is technical director for the DOE ARM Aerial Facility (AAF). Jason Tomlinson (PNNL) and Jennifer Comstock are AAF operations leads and will direct the project's daily operations. Dr. Chaomei Lo and Sherman Beus are assisting with software applications and programming to assess data quality. Dr. Jay Mace, from the University of Utah, is leading the SPARTICUS project.
Data from SPARTICUS will allow scientists to move forward with greater confidence in answering questions about how much the smallest ice crystals contribute to reflecting solar energy from cirrus clouds, and types of physical processes that influence the life cycle of cirrus clouds. The information gathered on the SPARTICUS mission will also help scientists improve problem-solving procedures, or algorithms, that allow them to derive cloud properties using ground-based instruments. These improved properties will provide valuable information for evaluating and improving climate models.

I know, I know...what a stupid thing to use a unsupported operating system that Chrome no longer supports. BUT...I have my reasons on this particular PC...
Just wanted to tell you just in case other idiots are out there trying to access Admuncher's web site and/or use a "registered" version of Admuncher. While my laptop has run with no problems getting updates or using Admuncher...I had some writing/gaming to do on an older WinXP that also used Admuncher (older registered version). Assumed my problem with Admuncher turning red and not connecting with Chrome no longer supporting WinXP. But couldn't figure out why I couldn't even open the Admuncher web site with Chrome. ANYWAYS...just wanted to say I was able to use Firefox to download and install the FREE version and am able to update it. But The Admuncher web site will not load and will not run from within Chrome anymore on XP machines.
Maybe it will save some folks who thought Admuncher was no more (as I did for a little while after reading a report that Admuncher was now considered Abandonware.
I would be happy to keep paying for"registering" Admuncher if it is NOT called abandonware AND the issue with the new Google ad changes are being addressed by Admuncher in the future.

Injury Prevention
By Sam Smith, MD, Surgeon in Chief, Arkansas Children's Hospital
Did you know that kids are more likely to die or be critically injured between now and Labor Day? I realize just how terrifying that sounds, but it's absolutely true.
I can tell you from my years of experience as a surgeon at Arkansas Children's Hospital, that we always see a spike in injuries at our Emergency Department – injuries that require major surgery or critical care – between Memorial and Labor Day. Why? Because kids are out of school and exploring and sometimes that leads to situations that aren't safe.
At ACH we place a true emphasis on spreading the word about injury prevention. We would love for there to be a day when our jobs are no longer necessary because children aren't getting hurt. We know we're a long way from that point, though.
This summer, our Injury Prevention Center is working hard to make sure that parents know the risks their children face during this season. They are promoting the hashtag #100deadliestdays on Twitter, with a tip every day to help families avoid some of the top circumstances that lead to kids' deaths this time of year.
Among those risks is teen driving. Last year, nearly 1,000 people died in crashes that involved teen drivers between Memorial Day and Labor Day, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. Of those killed, more than half were teens.
Once school lets out, teens are more likely to drive for fun, rather than for a purpose like going to class or taking a sibling to practice. This leads to dangerous situations like too many distractions and passengers. Teens with more than two teen passengers increase their risk of a fatal crash by more than five times, according to the ACH Injury Prevention Center. In addition, more drivers overall are on the road during vacation season, which further increases the hazards.
Be sure to have an open discussion with your teen drivers about the need to put their cell phones away, limit their passengers to only one unrelated person under 18 and abide by their curfew as set by the state's graduated driver license law.
Families can bring even more to the discussion by asking their young drivers to join them in signing a parent-teen agreement that establishes guidelines and expectations, as well as consequences. For more info and ideas on how to put together a parent-teen driving agreement, check out driveithome.org and check under the yellow tab marked "What You Can Do."
While teen driving is one of the easiest areas to pinpoint for increased perils during the summer, younger children face dangers too. They are more likely to be involved in car crashes, which underscores the importance of properly installed car seats.
You can learn more about having your child's passenger safety seat checked by calling the ACH Injury Prevention Center at 501-364-3400. The center's web page has a wealth of information for parents on several of the dangers kids face between Memorial and Labor Day. Just visit archildrens.org and type "Injury Prevention Center" in the search box at the top right to access those resources.
Over the last few weeks, I've already used this space to offer tips on recreational water safety and avoiding leaving a child in a hot car. You can expect to see me cover even more topics soon that will help you and your family avoid the risks children face during the 100 deadliest days of summer.
Another tip: The MyACH iPhone app available from the Apple iTunes store can help you keep all your children's medical information in one safe place in the event of an emergency. Download it free today.
Sam Smith, MD, is surgeon in chief at Arkansas Children's Hospital and a professor of Surgery at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He writes a column each week covering a variety of kids' medical concerns. If you have a topic you'd like him to consider addressing, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

8-9-10 Camden Yards
With the Pirates hitting the road for San Diego, I thought about flying along with them to snag my one thousandth baseball at a stadium I'd never visited before. I decided against it, since it'd be cheaper to do a couple day trips to Baltimore on Monday and Cleveland on Tuesday. And so, I hit the road for Baltimore.
I never fared well at Camden Yards. Prior to today my ballpark high was six balls in one game.

|MySQL Connector/Python 1.1.1-alpha has been released
|View as plain text
Dear MySQL users, MySQL Connector/Python 1.1.1 is the next alpha version of the 1.1 release series of the pure Python database driver for MySQL. It is intended to introduce users to the new features. This release is not feature complete but it should be stable enough for users to understand the new features and how we expect them to work. As is the case with all non-GA releases, it should not be used in any production environment. MySQL Connector/Python version 1.1.1-alpha is compatible with MySQL Server versions 5.5 and greater, but should work with earlier versions (greater than 4.1). Python 2.6 and 2.7, as well as Python 3.1 and greater are supported. MySQL Connector/Python 1.1.1-alpha is available for download from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/#downloads The ChangeLog file included in the distribution contains a brief summary of changes in MySQL Connector/Python 1.1.1. For a more complete list of changes, see below or online at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-python/en/ Changes in MySQL Connector/Python 1.1.1 (2013-09-10, Alpha) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Functionality Added or Changed * Output for individual unit tests did not show timings, making it more difficult to debug problems that involve a change in test execution time. unittest.py now has a new --stats option that runs tests and shows elapsed time for each. It is also possible to save the data to a MySQL server. When the --stats-host option is given with other options such as --stats-user, results are saved to a table called myconnpy_X_Y_Z. The table contains the name of the test case and columns that combine Python and MySQL versions; for example, py27my55 or py33my56. For example, to see the difference between MySQL 5.1 and 5.6, using Python 2.7, after running the test cases for both using Connector/Python 1.1.0, use this statement: SELECT test_case, py27my51, py27my56, (py27my56-py27my51) AS diff51 FROM myconnpy_1_1_0 WHERE (py27my56-py27my51) > 0.5; (Bug #17028999) * MySQL Connector/Python now supports simple connection pooling that has these characteristics: + A pool opens a number of connections and handles thread safety when providing connections to requesters. + The size of a connection pool is configurable at pool creation time. It cannot be resized thereafter. + A connection pool can be named at pool creation time. If no name is given, one is generated using the connection parameters. + The connection pool name can be retrieved from the connection pool or connections obtained from it. + It is possible to have multiple connection pools. This enables applications to support pools of connections to different MySQL servers, for example. + For each connection request, the pool provides the next available connection. No round-robin or other scheduling algorithm is used. + It is possible to reconfigure the connection parameters used by a pool. These apply to connections obtained from the pool thereafter. Reconfiguring individual connections obtained from the pool by calling the connection config() method is not supported. Applications that can benefit from connection-pooling capability include: + Middleware that maintains multiple connections to multiple MySQL servers and requires connections to be readily available. + Web sites that can have more "permanent" connections open to the MySQL server. The connection pooling implementation involves these interface elements: + A new module, mysql.connector.pooling, provides two classes: MySQLConnectionPool instantiates and manages connection pools, and PooledMySQLConnection is similar to MySQLConnection but is used for connections that are part of a connection pool. + A new exception, PoolError, occurs for pool-related exceptions. PoolError is a subclass of Error. For more information, see Connector/Python Connection Pooling (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/connector-python-connection-pooling.html) * Connector/Python now includes a mysql.connector.django module that provides a Django backend for MySQL. This backend supports new features found in MySQL 5.6 such as fractional seconds support for temporal data types. For more information, see Connector/Python Django Backend (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/connector-python-django-backend.html) Bugs Fixed * Following fetchone() or fetchmany(), the result returned by fetchall() was missing one row. (Bug #17041412) * Previously, executing a statement after the connection was closed raised an OperationalError with an unclear error. Connector/Python now returns the client error 2006, MySQL Server has gone away, with an extra message. The Error() class has been extended to accept a new argument, extra_msg. When given, it is appended between brackets. For example: [2000] Unknown MySQL Error (Some extra message) (Bug #17022399) * LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE failed for files approximately 14MB or larger. (Bug #17002411) * An InternalError was raised during transaction rollback if there were unread results. The MySQLConnection.rollback() method now consumes unread results instead of raising an error. (Bug #16656621) * Python 2.6 and 2.7 raised a UnicodeDecodeError when unicode_literals was used and a database name contained nonlatin Unicode characters. (Bug #16655208) * An unclear OperationalError was raised if a cursor object was closed while there were unread results. Connector/Python now raises an InternalError indicating that there are still unread results. This provides information that to avoid the error it is necessary to consume the result by reading all rows. (Bug #67649, Bug #17041240) * The MySQLCursor.executemany() method raised an exception when a SQL function was used as a column value when executing an INSERT statement. (Bug #69675, Bug #17065366) Documentation -------------------- Online:http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/index.html The source distribution includes the manual in various formats under the docs/ folder. Reporting Bugs -------------------- We welcome and appreciate your feedback and bug reports: http://bugs.mysql.com/ Enjoy! On Behalf of the MySQL RE team at Oracle, Sunanda Menon

The letter was dated July 1970 and was from the Orvis ? Company. The letter was in reference to a copy of one of the black and white photographs which was an image of a young, dark haired man wearing a fly vest with a bamboo fly rod in one hand and a white meerschaum pipe in the other. Arranged in the foreground on a bed of Braken ferns were 4 respectable brown trout. The letter was an acknowledgement of my "Record Catch" and contained a round silver pin that still adorns my fishing hat and is inscribed ? Orvis Record Catch Club.

Don't Throw Bald Eagles Under the Bus
The Interior Department has thrown our national bird, the bald eagle, under the bus.
The agency charged with protecting America's natural resources issued new regulations last week that will grant wind companies 30-year permits to kill bald and golden eagles—with no real oversight of the wind industry's efforts to mitigate eagle deaths.
Story Continued Below
So, let's be clear: This move is all about trying to make the numbers for the rollout of renewable energy sources laid out in the president's Climate Action Plan, which mandated a doubling of renewable electricity generation by 2020.
That laudable plan promised that renewable power would have safeguards for conservation—but this new approach is just a blank check for the wind industry.
We know climate change is the single greatest threat to both birds and people. We support deploying renewable energy sources aggressively and using conventional sources more efficiently if we are to meet the challenge of our lifetime.
At the same time, bird mortality from wind turbines is a huge cause of concern for Audubon, our members and supporters. According to a 2013 peer-reviewed study, America's wind farms kill more than 573,000 birds each year, including 83,000 raptors—such as eagles, hawks and falcons.
That doesn't have to be. Audubon has long worked with the wind industry to incorporate the best technology and siting information to build wind farms that pose less risk to birds and other wildlife. We believe that new technologies and better siting must be combined with the necessary government oversight to ensure that the wind industry is taking every step possible to avoid unnecessary bird deaths.
The Interior Department has walked away from years of balancing the need for conservation and renewable energy—and from conservation partners willing to work toward a win-win approach. Under current rules, wind companies are issued five-year permits for inadvertent eagle deaths. Those permits require the companies to take steps to protect the birds. The new regulations extend those permits for up to 30 years.
While the Interior Department says that it will review wind farms every five years even under the 30-year-permits, the agency in charge of doing the monitoring—the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service—told us this year it doesn't have the resources to review sites every five years. That's precisely why it asked its parent agency to extend the permitting period.

I have been corresponding with a distant cousin of mine, Carol Mann, in California. She provided a couple of pictures, one of which is of my great, great, great grandparents. It is washed out so I hope she has the original or knows where she can get a better copy.
Among the other photos she provided is the one above. This is of her grandparents Pieter Willem te Groen and Johanna van Leeuwen. I have written of Johanna's parents, Gerrit and Elsebina (Weenig) van Leeuwen, my great, great, great grandparents. Johanna is the sister to my Gerhardus Hendrik van Leeuwen.
Pieter Willem to Groen was born 4 September 1865 in Arnhem, Gelderland, Netherlands and died 27 August 1942 in Long Beach, Los Angeles, California. His parents are Derk Meindert to Groen and Jannetje Maria (Duverni) te Groen.
He married Johanna van Leeuwen 5 March 1890 in Arnhem in the Lutheran Church.
Johanna was born 1 September 1867 in Oldenzaal, Overijssel, Netherlands and died 24 February 1963 in Long Beach.
Together Pieter and Johanna had 10 children that I am aware.
Johanna Maria te Groen born 7 December 1890 supposedly in Transvaal, although that did not exist until 1902, so it was likely the South African Republic. She died 2 January 1891 in Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa.
Johanna Maria to Groen born 3 December 1891 in Transvaal, again likely South African Republic. She died 10 January 1899 in Pretoria.
Gerhardus Hendrick te Groen born 19 February 1894 in Pretoria and died 5 May 1955 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California.
Willem Pieter te Groen born 14 September 1895 in Pretoria and died 4 May 1967 in Santa Ana, Orange, California.
Dirk Meindert te Groen born 27 January 1898 in Pretoria and died 20 July 1988 in Laguna Hills, Orange, California.
Paul Johannes Stofanas te Groen born 1 June 1900 in Pretoria and died January 1987 in Crescent City, Del Norte, California.
Elsebinia Maria te Groen born 17 October 1902 in Pretoria and died 5 February 1904 in Pretoria.
Jan Hendrick te Groen born 7 December 1904 in Pretoria and died 10 September 1999 in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii.
Leendert te Groen born 14 October 1908 in Annapolis, Anne Arundel, Maryland and died 3 July 2003 in Laguna Hills.
Emil Fredrick te Groen born 27 November 1911 in Annapolis and died 27 November 2000 in Palo Alto, Santa Clara, California.
I have no idea what took te Groens to South Africa. It was a time of change and turmoil in South Africa and the Dutch were active in Southe Africa. It would be interesting to know if it was military or some other purpose for which they went there. Maybe they left as the Dutch were losing influence and British were gaining more and more influence. Hopefully someone can shed more light on the moves.

Chinchilla's soldier statue on the northern Darling Downs, 1 of 55 surviving soldier statues in Queensland, has had its share of wars on home soil.
Governor Sir Hamilton John Goold-Adams unveiled the AL Petrie-made memorial on 30 January 1919, originally in a small memorial park in Chinchilla Street, near the footbridge over the railway line.
Vandalism damaged this symbol of nationalistic pride, youth, innocence, loyalty and bravery.
In 1977, the statue was removed and separated from its pedestal and base. Part of the pedestal was re-erected and an obelisk added in front of the Chinchilla Civic Centre: this was rededicated in 1979.
The Women's Auxiliary of Chinchilla's RSL sub-branch raised funds for the damaged soldier statue to be restored. It was re-erected in front of the RSL hall further down Heeny Street in 1992.

George Zimmerman trial: Trayvon Martin was on top of Zimmerman when teen was shot, gunshot wound expert testifies
(CBS/AP) SANFORD, Fla. -- A nationally renowned gunshot wound expert testified Tuesday that Trayvon Martin's gunshot wound was consistent with accused murderer George Zimmerman's story that the teen was on top of him and leaning over when he was shot.
PICTURES: George Zimmerman on trial in death of Fla. teen
PICTURES: George Zimmerman crime scene photos
READ: Trayvon Martin Shooting: A timeline of events
George Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch captain standing trial in the teen's shooting death, has said Martin attacked him and was on top of him just before the fatal gunshot. Prosecutors have argued Zimmerman profiled the teen and started the confrontation.
Taking the stand for the defense, Dr. Vincent Di Maio, a forensic pathologist, said that Martin's gunshot wound was consistent with the gun's muzzle being against his clothing, which would have been two to four inches away from his body when he was shot.
"If you lean over someone, you notice the clothing tends to fall away from the chest," Di Maio said. "If instead you're lying on your back and someone shoots you, the clothing is going to be against your chest."
Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, left the courtroom as Di Maio testified. The jury saw graphic photos of Trayvon Martin's gunshot wounds in court.
Who was the aggressor in the Feb. 26, 2012 altercation in the Sanford, Fla., gated community has been a key issue in Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial, which is in its eleventh day of testimony.
Di Maio said that Trayvon Martin would have been alive for about one to three minutes following the gunshot wound, but would have been able to move and speak for at least ten to fifteen seconds.
The testimony was a contrast to the remarks of a medical examiner who conducted Martin's autopsy, who said that the teen could have been alive for up to ten minutes after the gunshot. Dr. Shiping Bao also said he didn't believe Martin would have been able to move after receiving the shot.
Prosecutors have said that George Zimmerman told investigators he moved Martin's arms away from his body after the gunshot, although Martin was found with his arms tucked beneath his chest. Answering a question from defense attorney Don West, Di Maio said that someone may be able to move their arms after receiving a similar gunshot.
Zimmerman's injuries indicate "you've had severe force, it's not just like you bumped your head or something like that," Di Maio said.
VIDEO: Zimmerman trial: Prosecutor opens with profanity
Zimmerman's injuries were consistent with having his head hit against concrete more than once, Di Maio said. The former neighborhood watch captain said the teen smashed his head into a sidewalk several times before he claimed he acted in self-defense.
The testimony was a contrast to another medical examiner, Dr. Valerie Rao, who testified for prosecutors that Zimmerman had "insignificant" injuries that didn't appear to result from multiple impacts against concrete.
Pointing to photos of Zimmerman's injures, Di Maio also said Zimmerman's nose may have been fractured, an injury he said was consistent with being punched in the nose, as Zimmerman said Martin did.
Di Maio also said it's possible to receive trauma without visible wounds. "You can get severe trauma to the head without external injuries, actually," Di Maio said.
Di Maio also explained that if clothes taken into evidence are wet and packaged in plastic bags, and not paper bags, it can ruin the samples since "bacteria multiplies and you get mold and it stinks to high heaven." Defense attorneys believe DNA evidence found on Martin's hooded sweatshirt and undershirt was degraded since the clothing wasn't packaged properly.
Di Maio was still on the stand early Tuesday afternoon after court recessed for lunch.

My company has been considering implementing a JDF workflow to our photography studio. We're working with a Canon B5000 RIP and want to be able to print variable quantities of our products using JDF.
Thus far we have found success in placing JDF documents in our Fiery Hot Folders and running them through Hot Folders, however, we want to try a new system by sending JDFs directly to RIP and foregoing the Hot Folders altogether. We have XML and Ruby coding experience and are simply looking as to what our next steps are in getting this working. It appears there is very little documentation on this matter. What are our next steps in sending the JDF documents + the images we want to print directly to print?

TIC–service with a smiling voice
Over the years, the Telephone Information Center (TIC) has become the point of first contact for Columbus State, especially for students contacting the offices in Enrollment Services. The average number of calls a full-time TIC representative may take every week is approximately 500. Of course, this number increases during busy times of the quarter. The TIC staff as a whole answers an average of 59,500 calls per month and has answered 387,110 calls within the past year. Columbus State is where the world is calling!
The representatives in the TIC are always available for any question a student may have about the college. They are also available in case someone can't recall which day of the week it is. They really do have all kinds of information.
Sometimes TIC reps have to be the bearer of bad news, such as the fact that the college does not offer a student credit card. Often, things can be misconstrued over the phone—one caller insisted they were looking for "Ellie Gal." It was soon discovered they wanted to register for paralegal studies LEGL 101!
TIC representative Maureen Thompson is ready to take your call and answer any questions you may have.
As Autumn Quarter draws near, the TIC wishes everyone a smooth approach. If you have any questions regarding Columbus State but don't know where to start, call the TIC. Ext. 5353 will get directly to an information representative Monday- Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Fridays, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to noon. You can also email the TIC at email@example.com.

Neatly packaged and well produced, this four-track EP from Cheltenham-based trio* Nurse* can hardly be called a demo; indeed, many a rock single has passed through DiS's collective earshot and struggled to make half the impression that lead track 'Days Of Incredible Greatness' does. Think Feeder circa Swim with much larger bollocks with just a pinch of Faith No More's slightly skewed take on commercial rock and you're not so far short of the song's immediate sound. As a curtain-raiser it's quite the attention grabber.
The band's self-penned "dodgy press release" _(their words) states that they aim to _"stretch the three-piece band template", and to their credit they at least somewhat succeed: 'Impact Burn' blends deviations into riffing complexity with an underlying straightforward rhythm that'll certainly appeal to those requiring a toe-tapping characteristic, and the closing 'Malv' features some impressively left-of-centre drumming and intelligent bass work. The vocals aren't entirely there yet, but the confidence to leave behind the slightly frustrating American twang will come with time and experience (the band only formed last year).
It's a terrible cliché to finish a piece such as this with a "promising" parting shot, but for once the sentiment is absolutely genuine. Keep an eye out for these guys when they're on their travels, as all the clues point toward them tearing up a stage with ease.

Live Review: Hank Jones at Yoshi's
Let us praise versions of "My Funny Valentine" that don't make us squirm. Let us praise Lifetime Achievement Awards for those who truly deserve it. Let us praise 90-year-old pianists who continue to paint new scenes on the keys.
Let us praise Hank Jones.
Hank Jones opened a two-night stand at Yoshi's in San Francisco tonight, and during an hour-and-a-half set displayed no loss of conception, creativity, nimbleness or humor even while entering his ninth decade. He defines the phrase "jazz treasure" without any self-importance. He opened his set with "Happy Birthday," for cryin' out loud.
I caught the 10 o'clock set, after impulsively driving down from Santa Rosa at the last minute to buy a single ticket. Jones has been on a lot of albums I adore—Cannonball Adderley's Somethin' Else, John Coltrane's Bags & Trane, Charlie Haden's Steal Away, Roland Kirk's We Free Kings, Chris Connor's My Name is Chris—but it's a piquant little collection of standards by his Great Jazz Trio that I've been listening to a lot lately. Someday My Prince Will Come isn't out of this world, but it is a basic collection of standards played well. Sometimes that is all that's needed.
Tonight, Jones offered a similar grace and simplicity. Check the setlist:
Lonely Moments – Mary Lou Williams
Quiet Lady – Thad Jones
Bluesette – Toots Thielmans
My Funny Valentine – Richard Rogers
Rhythm-a-Ning – Thelonious Monk
Blue Minor – Sonny Clark
Stella by Starlight – Victor Young
Six and Four – Oliver Nelson
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy – Joe Zawinul
Intimidation – Hank Jones
Blue Monk – Thelonious Monk
Each song followed the basic order. Intro, head, verse, piano solo, bass solo, drum solo, head, and out. John Clayton clearly relished playing with a different group (he's Diana Krall's right-hand man) and came correct with brilliant bass work that at times even had Jones in awe, while drummer Clayton Cameron danced around the drums with brushes that seemed to sing. Jones phrased skilled solos that could only come from a lifetime of playing combined with an impressively present acumen.
But it was Hank Jones' humor that took the cake. He drew out the ending to "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" with three false endings, toying with the crowd, but when the next tune ended abruptly and no one clapped, he looked at the audience, curiously, and laughed, "That's it." During the verse of "Blue Monk" he threw in an extra discordant harmony to Monk's already-discordant arrangement and then looked around as if to apprehend the musical trespasser—inside the piano, underneath the keyboard.
The dude is 90 and he's still having fun. Thanks, Hank, for still being here.
