NASALEZE International Limited
The Nasaleze story all began one day in 1990... Mike James was working in a factory making cosmetic facemasks using a number of ingredients. Mike noticed that despite there usually being clouds of white powder in the air nobody ever sneezed. At the same time his teenage son was suffering terribly from allergies, sneezing almost constantly. Mikes mind was cast back to the clouds of white powder in the factory. The following day he brought home some of this (cellulose) powder and suggested his sneezing son should sniff some of the powder off the back of his hand. The sneezing stopped in a matter of seconds and all the other symptoms subsided over the next few minutes. Mike immediately set about researching and developing his idea, including creating the unique and patented special delivery system. After the initial research proved encouraging Mike was ready to bring his invention to market. The Medicines Control Agency looked into the issue in greater detail and came to the conclusion that Nasaleze was in fact a low risk product, not a drug and that it should be registered as a Class 1 Medical Device under EU Directive 93/42/EEC. Nasaleze is now distributed in over 30 countries worldwide and is gaining respect from the Medical Community after successive and successful clinical studies.

Mattern dispels the chill of Madison
Dr. David Mattern, associate editor of The Papers of James Madison at the University of Virginia, presents an engaging lecture, "Beyond the Marble Man: Who was James Madison?" as part of Inauguration Week at JMU.
The cold, hard image of James Madison as interpreted in a statue located within the James Madison Memorial Building at the Library of Congress provoked Dr. David B. Mattern to ponder "Beyond the Marble Man: Who was James Madison?"
Speaking Thursday at Court Square Theater in downtown Harrisonburg as part of JMU's Inauguration Week festivities to celebrate the presidency of Jonathan R. Alger, Mattern shared some of his findings from his role as associate editor of The Papers of James Madison at the University of Virginia. "My intent today is to reveal a little about the private James Madison that I've discovered after 25 years of editing his papers," Mattern said.
"The public Madison, the 'marble man,'" as Mattern described him, was the public servant of 40 years who labored for his nation and state as president, Father of the U.S. Constitution, one of the authors of The Federalist, a member of the Virginia General Assembly, the Constitutional Convention, Continental Congress, among other roles. "This is why we celebrate Madison," Mattern said.
Madison guarded his privacy in later life, ruthlessly editing papers and letters that did not pertain to public transactions. But despite such efforts, the study of Madison's papers has yielded glimpses of Madison the man.
Madison was first a Virginian, Mattern said. He benefited from the plantation culture of central Virginia that allowed him the flexibility to engage in local political service that eventually led to higher office. He was a farmer at his Montpelier estate, which made him a slaveholder, despite his acknowledgment of the inequity of the system.
While he was silent about his religious views, Madison was fiercely convinced of the right of religious liberty rather than viewing, as some of his contemporaries did, it as a privilege.
Madison was dignified to the point of severe in his attire and desired to be inconspicuous, Mattern said. But once the day's work at hand was completed and he was among family and friends, Madison enjoyed puns and somewhat bawdy stories. Written recollections of visitors to Montpelier portray Madison as a teller who had the gift of "well-timed and well-told" jokes and stories.
Madison was an affectionate husband to Dolley and an indulgent father to his stepson, Payne Todd. Correspondence between James and Dolley reveals an intimacy that may surprise people who think of them as President and Mrs. Madison, Mattern said. Madison's love for Dolley led him to shield her from some of her son's gambling and drinking consequences. It is estimated that Madison paid $40,000 – without Dolley's knowledge – to cover his stepson's gambling debts.
"Contrary to his own comments and how he wanted to be portrayed, Madison was more than the sum of his public acts," Mattern said, "He was more flesh and blood than marble man."
Following his formal lecture, Mattern weighed in on the enduring question of James Madison's height. The best information comes from the writings of Edward Coles, Madison's private secretary during his presidency, Mattern said. Coles reported that President Madison was 5 feet 6 inches tall but with a small bone structure that made him appear smaller in comparison to others, including his wife, Dolley Madison, who Coles described as equal in height.
Mattern's lecture was supported by the Rocco Forums on the Future.
Mattern highly recommends Ralph Ketcham's biography of James Madison for students of the man JMU honors in name and memory.

About This Paper
Tuning Step 1: Correct IPS Deployment
Step 2: The IPS Tuning Process
1. A Cisco Advanced Inspection and Prevention Security Services Module 40 (AIP-SSM 40) protecting a data center server. The management IP address is 172.16.254.204. This device will detect and report all data traversing the network that matches a signature or threat protection algorithm used by the Cisco IPS.
2. A scanning device that is known to network and security administrators. This device is used by network and security administrators to find security holes (vulnerabilities) in their network devices. A scanning device like this is usually running 24x7; for simplicity in this case study, we are running it on demand so the alerts being tuned are manageable. The IP address is 172.16.50.40.
3. Two devices used to generate real attacks on the server. The IP addresses are 172.16.50.60 and 10.1.1.1.
4. Two data center servers that are being protected by the IPS. These servers are unpatched and the IP addresses are 172.16.50.70 and 10.1.1.2.
Figure 1.
1. The first and most critical task for ensuring that the IPS does not overburden you with alerts is to place the IPS in your network behind a perimeter filtering device. This simple placement task may reduce the number of alerts that you need to filter by several thousand events per day.
2. Deploy your IPS with the default signatures in place. There are no specialized profiles or specialized parameters that need to be configured to deploy a Cisco IPS. The default signature set will provide you with a high security protection posture. You can view all the IPS signatures on your sensor using Cisco IPS Manager Express and browsing to Configuration > IPS-Name > Policies > IPS Policies > All Signatures. You can view only your active signatures by browsing to Configuration > IPS-Name > Policies > IPS Policies > Active Signatures.
Note: This case study uses the default Cisco IPS signature set. The Cisco IPS signature team has spent thousands of person hours determining the most secure default signature settings. If you think you may have inadvertently changed some signature values, select all signatures, click the button "Restore default" and then click "Apply."
3. Set the event action override to drop packets with a risk rating greater than 90. This is the default configuration and will help ensure that high risk alerts will be stopped immediately.
Note: By default, the sophisticated Cisco IPS risk rating calculation feature will accurately identify risks and report a risk rating value for each alert that is fired. The higher the risk rating, the more dangerous the attack.
Check your default event action override by using Cisco IPS Manager Express and browsing to Configuration > IPS-Name > Policies > IPS Policies. Following is the screen capture for this case study.
Click the "Edit" icon and then the Advanced tab to view the current override settings. HIGHRISK should be set to 90.
4. Now that the IPS device is set to a default signature set located correctly in the network and overrides are set correctly, we can start the case study. The following steps will be taken to generate both benign and real alerts on the IPS device.
• The scanning device (172.16.50.40) will run one NMAP scan to the data center server (172.16.50.70).
• Using the same IP addresses, the scanning device will run one default Nessus scan to the data center server.
• During these scans, the attack servers (172.16.50.60 and 10.1.1.1) will launch several real attacks against the data center servers.
• During the scans, the 10.1.1.1 or 10.1.1.2 attack devices will generate both high- and low-priority attacks to help demonstrate some high-level security analysis used to decide how to respond to these attacks.
5. After this scan and attack traffic is generated, there will be a few hundred alerts fired by the IPS. All of these alerts are not what would be considered actionable alerts, so harmless events need to be eliminated.
Begin the Filtering Process
Note: Just scanning a single target for three minutes generated almost 700 events. That's 233 events per minute per scanner on your network. It's not unusual for a company to run multiple scanners: consider that if you have five scanners on your network, you will generate 1,006,5560 benign events per day!
a. Configure the Cisco IPS device to ignore these alerts in the future.
b. Allow the Cisco IPS device to fire the alerts and then use Cisco IPS Manager Express to only filter the benign events.
1. To filter all events from the scanner, enter (not equal) != 172.16.50.40 into the attacker IP address field. This will immediately get rid of all the primary alerts generated by the scanner and significantly reduce the number of alerts you need to work with. We've gone from 800 alerts to 14.
2. The next step is to look at the remaining attacks and see if anything jumps out. The most obvious is the attacks that are destined for an IP address of 0.0.0.0. Enter !=0.0.0.0 in the destination IP address field. We are now down to 7 alerts.
3. The next step is to filter attacks that have been dropped. Scroll though the list and you can easily see those alerts. Keep in mind that even though these are high-level alerts, they are not overly concerning because they have been blocked. No forensics need to be performed on these alerts unless you want to check the attacking IP address.
4. The next step is to filter information alerts. Uncheck the box labeled "Informational." Even though these events are filtered out, they could warrant investigation. In many cases, including this example, the low-priority events may indicate that another device is doing reconnaissance on a device protected by the IPS.. Network administrators should research these source addresses to see if the reconnaissance on those machines is being caused by malware or an employee. If it's an infected machine, remove the malware or restore the infected device to a known good condition. There are now five alerts remaining.
5. At this point, the tuning process is essentially complete: all the benign scanning events, alerts for invalid destination address, informational alerts, and stopped attacks have been filtered. The remaining alerts are considered actionable information. They represent the greatest threat to your network and therefore must be analyzed. Researching these events with Cisco IPS Manager Express is a straightforward process.
1. The event in the case study to be analyzed is Cisco sig ID 5867/0. The following steps must be taken.
Research the alert: Right-click on the event and select the "Explanation" tab. The description says, "The signature fires on attempts to instantiate the WinZip ActiveX control. A vulnerability exists in the ActiveX control that was never intended to be used in Internet Explorer." A second section in the explanation tab tells you if other actions besides an attack can cause this signature to fire. In this case, it says "Individuals browsing proof of concept code may cause this signature to trigger." This description is telling us that either someone browsed to a Webpage and looked at proof of concept code or there was an actual attack. We are going to assume that an attack was attempted because if it was an incident during browsing, the port should have been HTTP TCP/80, but it was port 39630. There are a few steps you want to take because this may have been a successful attack.
Fix the attack source: If the attack originated from a device on your network, remove malware or reinstall the source OS, and install current security patches and applications. You may also want to take a look at the person who owns the machine. Keep in mind that another attacker may have exploited that machine; in other words, the machine owner may also be a victim.
Fix the destination host: Use a vulnerability scanner and see if the destination host was vulnerable to the attack that was reported. If not, there is a good chance the machine has not been compromised. If the vulnerability does exist, take the same steps to restore the system: remove malware or reinstall the source OS, and install current security patches and applications.
Modify IPS policy to provide more information: It can sometimes be difficult to determine if an attack occurred. A best practice is to use verbose logging, which will capture the entire packet that triggers an alert. When an alert is triggered, you can view data in the packet; this provides you with more precise information to determine if an attack is successful.
• To globally enable verbose alert reporting and critical signatures, browse to Configuration > Policies > IPS Policies. Click "Edit" on the desired virtual sensor. See the following panel.
2. Click "Add" to define a new global action. For medium-risk attacks, create an action that will product verbose output for alerts that have a risk rating between 70 and 89. See the following panel for a configuration example.

text: The LEUPOLD VX-R 2-7x33 Rifle Scope, Ballistic FireDot Reticle (111233) has a sleek, stylish look and clean lines that create less bulk atop your rifle. The VX-R riflescope has a rugged 30mm maintube, which offers an increased range of adjustment for windage and elevation over traditional 1" tube. Finger click adjustments for windage and elevation (1/4-MOA) offer absolute repeatability and dependability over a lifetime of extreme use. VX-R is available with Leupold exclusive FireDot Reticle System. Once activated, the dot within the reticle illuminates with bright, sharp definition, while the rest of the reticle is non-illuminated. This combination leads your eye naturally to the center aiming point and makes target acquisition quick, precise, and simple. This model riflescope comes with a Ballistic FireDot reticle that is designed for extended range shooting when fast target acquisition is critical. The Ballistic FireDot is ideal for varmint, antelope, and longer shots on big game. It has an extra-bright centerpoint dot. The VX-R uses Leupold's exclusive Motion Sensor Technology (MST). A single touch of the button activates the illumination, offering eight different intensity settings including a high/low indicator. The exclusive FireDot reticle will automatically switch to "stand-by mode" after five minutes of inactivity, then reactivate whenever the rifle is moved. This eliminates the need for excess movement reaching for buttons, while extending battery life (the VX-R is powered by a readily available CR-2032 coin cell battery). The one-turn, non-locking eyepiece accommodates a wider spectrum of visual acuity, even in diminishing light. Near-sighted, far-sighted, or anywhere in between, adjusting the focus of the VX-R is smooth, fast, and precise. An Alumina rubber eyepiece guard is included with every scope. Another Leupold-unique feature that manages light transmission to your advantage. The blackened lens edges work to reduce unwanted glare and diffusion through the lens edges. By using edge blackening, glare from the lens edges is eliminated, resulting in better resolution, improved contrast, and superior optical performance: no matter what the conditions. A Leupold exclusive, Index Matched Lens System represents Leupold's impeccable light management. Leupold engineers specify different coating materials for each lens surface in the riflescope, based on the lens' index of refraction, placement, and function. Each coating is then layered to maximize light transmission. The result is unparalleled brightness and extremely sharp resolution across the entire visual field.

Who is the most famous sensei? It depends where you look.
On Ebay, I think that the most famous sensei is Gichin Funakoshi (and his students).
On Yahoo Japan, the winner is definitely Mas Oyama (and his students).
Who is perceived as the most famous sensei in the world? Again, that it easy. It has to be Pat Morita who brought the Miyagi Sensei character to life. God rest Pat Morita's soul! I'm sure that he is entertaining children in heaven.
Who is the most famous Karate student? That has to be Elvis Presley.
Who is the most famous Kenpo instructor? I would guess that Ed Parker (who was from Hawaii) eclipsed the fame of his teacher, Professor William K. S. Chow, and even his teacher, Masayoshi James Mitose.
What instructor from Hawaii wrote a Karate book that sold more than 1 million copies? That would be Shihan Bobby Lowe (the senior student of Mas Oyama).
What instructor from Hawaii is the most senior member of a 1 million plus member organization? Once again, that would be Shihan Bobby Lowe.
Do a Google search for Karate sensei. Who comes up first? Surprise, surprise, it is Hawaii's Thomas Shigeru Miyashiro -- Hawaii first Nisei Karate sensei.
Who is the highest ranked Karate sensei in the world? I have no clue, but I'll bet he still puts his pants on one leg at a time, just like the rest of us.
Which Sensei has won the most trophies? Again, I don't know but I hope that he has a big house to put them all in -- and plenty of time to dust them!
Who has the most read Karate blog on the internet? Again, at Google.com enter Karate blog. The second listing is the Karate Thoughts Blog. The first listing is a list itself, so I won't count it.
Which sensei is the most important one in the world? The one who taught you! No one can be more important than your own Sensei. What matters is not his fame, rank, titles, number of students, books written, tropies, or search engine placements. What matters most is his character and unselfishness in teaching his students -- student after student, year after year.

There's all sorts of apocalyptic scenarios people ponder over - from SkyNet-like machines to alien invasions - but I'm curious what scenario you find most likely to occur, what you're planning to do about it, and how elaborate your preparations are. I'll obviously start.
The zombie apocalypse. It's going to happen eventually - I'm sure of it. It'll most likely be caused by some mutated virus or biological weapon (who knows what crazy stuff the Americans and Russians have stacked away), but when it does happen, we're pretty much doomed. The virus will sweep across the world at breakneck speed, and only those who have taken the necessary preparations will be able to hold out.
First and foremost, you're going to need instructional videos. Several have been made about this topic, but I'd advise against any of the classics by George A. Romero - for the simple reason that his hypothesis of slow-moving zombies will only facilitate complacency. It's better to simply assume the zombies will be fast and agile like in the Dawn Of The Dead remake or last year's Zombieland - this way, you'll be prepared for anything. Other decent instructional videos are 28 Days Later, the more child-friendly (light-hearted and all) Shaun Of The Dead, and the upcoming comprehensive survival guide The Walking Dead.
During the zombie apocalypse, Americans, Canadians, and other people with similar loose gun laws will be at a distinct advantage, due to the relatively ready and widespread availability of bullets and firearms. In more decadent countries like The Netherlands (where I'm from), we'll have to resort to rolling up our sleeves and going all Woody Harrelson on zombies' bums. Be sure to focus on longer melee weapons to avoid blood and/or saliva-induced infections.
If you do manage to procure a gun in these types of countries, don't waste the few bullets you'll have on zombies - save them for when things go tits-up. Do the children first. If you find a shotgun, it is customary to hand it over the prettiest girl in your group, since this greatly increases your chances of survival. We don't know why - it just does, okay?
As for my personal plans - a group of my friends and I have already developed our plan of action for the inevitable. We have found our place of refuge somewhere in Amsterdam - it has the best defensive traits, and a deep supply of food and improvised weaponry. We obviously can't reveal this location, since that would harm our odds of survival. I do have to travel quite a bit (destination on this Google Maps search is random) before I get there, though, but I'm confident in my ability to star in the ass-kicking business.
Right, what's your most likely apocalyptic scenario? What are you doing to prepare yourself?

About The ArtistsAnselm Kiefer
Anselm Kiefer was born in 1945 on the heels of World War II in Donaueschingen, a town in southern Germany. In his art, he meditates on the relevance of history painting after the Holocaust. In the early 1970s, Kiefer studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy under Joseph Beuys, a World War II veteran who was deeply interested in the power of art and its potential for cultural healing. Under Beuys's supervision and influence, and borrowing from the Expressionist tendencies and raw surfaces of Die Brücke, (a group of Dresden-based artists formed in 1906 who sought to bridge Romanticism with Expressionism), Kiefer sought to exorcize the ghosts of the recent past with the language of contemporary art. Through the operatic scale of his monumental paintings and sculpture, which are rich in lyricism and irony, Kiefer contends that reconciliation of recent history is a necessary condition of the present moment.
With its high horizon line, the painting Nigredo demands confrontation with once-cultivated fields burned and returned to their fallow state under a faint sun. Invoking the alchemical notion of nigredo—a state in which chemical elements are reduced and blackened in order to reach the mythical philosopher's stone, a material that alchemists believed could turn anything to gold—the painting embodies Kiefer's larger ideological and aesthetic view that intertwines destruction with creation. Kiefer layered paint and unrefined materials over an enlarged photograph to create the dramatically dense surface that matches the painting's imposing scale, both reimagining and obscuring the representation of a landscape.
In Kiefer's 1992 book Dein und Mein Alter und das Alter der Welt (Your Age and Mine and the Age of the World), images of ancient pyramid ruins conjure both the grandness of civilization and its vulnerability to disaster. In this work, he exposes a photographic image to his "inverted archaeology"—layering sand and clay atop the image's surface as a paradoxical approach to reinterpreting images of the past. Throughout his extensive body of work, Kiefer continually explores past civilizations such as Egypt, seemingly in reference to Nazi Germany, restoring the tradition of history painting to the contemporary moment that demands new moral and artistic reflection.Sigmar Polke
Born in 1941, in Oels, Silesia—then occupied by Nazi Germany and now part of Poland—Sigmar Polke smuggled himself into the West at the age of twelve by feigning sleep on a train. In the West, Polke studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy, where he met the painter Gerhard Richter and the art dealer Konrad Fischer, with whom he originated Capitalist Realism in 1963. Though short-lived, this movement propelled the artist's interest in evoking irony from the new realities of everyday life in Germany after World War II. He often photocopied and projected images from mail-order catalogues, advertisements, and newspapers, in order to incorporate them into his paintings by hand. Reminiscent of early modern artists such as Kurt Schwitters (German, 1887–1948) and Francis Picabia (French, 1879–1953), Polke possesses an experimental spirit that never ceases to push the limits of painting, from its methods and techniques to its expressive possibilities.
Polke's wide range of imagery often challenges the restraints of reason and consciousness. Searching for truth outside the bounds of science, Polke acts as an alchemist-painter—mixing poisonous acids, smoke, and newly created pigments into his paintings. Thwarting modernist concerns for contained forms and permanent objects in favor of testing the mutability of images, Polke commenced his series of experimental abstractions, such as Ginkgo (above left), in the 1980s. In this work, a sensuously amorphous, semitranslucent deluge of color over the canvas cloth subtly reveals the painting's supportive wooden structure, in effect exposing its very physical structure.Gerhard Richter
Born in Dresden in 1932, Gerhard Richter witnessed the postwar transformations of Europe from the marginal perspective of East Germany, where he trained as a commercial painter. In 1961, he traversed the cultural and political divide to West Germany, where he began to explore the possibilities of painting, influenced by his newfound access to western artistic movements. In 1963, Richter and his German contemporaries Sigmar Polke and Konrad Fischer (1939–1996) staged Life with Pop: A Demonstration for Capitalist Realism, an exhibition in a furniture store that recalled Fluxus happenings in its spontaneous and performative nature as well as Pop Art in its display of everyday objects.
In reaction to the simple visual forms of Pop Art and its interest in advertising and the commercialized object, Richter began to meticulously interrogate the photographic image in the early 1960s. Neun Objekte (Nine Objects) of 1969 embodies his fascination with and distrust of the assumed veracity of images. In these works, he uses offset lithography to capture the perspectival conundrums created by photographing wood strip shapes, further distancing reality from the world of representation.
Throughout his career, Richter purposefully avoided uniformity and simultaneously embraced multiple painting methods. His color-chart paintings—such as 180 Färben (180 Colors) of 1971, seen on the previous page—explore the permutations of primary colors with mathematical precision and exploit the artificiality inherent in any painting. Schwann (2) (Swan [2]) of 1989 and Abstraktes Bild (Abstract Painting) of 1990 demonstrate Richter's experimentation with abstraction, begun in the 1970s, and are at once lyrical and mechanical, passionate and rhetorical reminders of the possibilities and contradictions embedded in image-making.
Richter's work often seeks to evacuate traditional meaning from the depiction of images. The mirrored, stainless-steel surface of Piz Boval of 1992 seems to reject images rather than reflect them. He dissociates his landscapes, such as Piz Lagrev of 1995, from their heritage in the Romantic sublime by likening them to the triviality of a snapshot. In his 1998 Ophelia (Rhombus I), an enlarged, cropped, and magnified photographic image of a painting challenges the boundaries of both mediums. Taken as a whole, Richter's oeuvre possesses as much depth as breadth and represents the artist's unceasing dual commitment to exposing the potential and the limitations of representation.

Singer-Songwriter David McMillin '06 Returns to Campus, April 9-11
April 3, 2013
Singer-songwriter David McMillin, a 2006 graduate of DePauw University, will return to his alma mater as a guest of the Performing Arts Series, April 9 - 11. Currently a member of the band Fort Frances, McMillin's DePauw visit will include a solo peformance and songwriting workshop, which are both open to the public and presented free of admission charge.
The workshop will take place at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 9, in room 1302 in the Green Center for the Performing Arts. Pre-registration is requested by emailing Ron Dye, coordinator of the Performing Arts Series, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
On Wednesday, April 10, McMillin will present a live performance in Theta Garden (the outdoor courtyard in the middle of the Green Center. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be moved indoors to Thompson Recital Hall in the event of inclement weather. Guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets.
In 2005, David McMillin was an English writing major enrolled in Professor Debby Geis' "Literature and the Beats" course. A songwriter since his high school years in Columbus, Indiana, McMillin wowed his class one day by writing and performing original music to a Lawrence Ferlinghetti poem. McMillin's visit to campus will include a stop in that same class to talk with students.
Fort Frances performed last month at SXSW. As a solo artist, McMillin toured with Grant Lee Buffalo, Shelby Lynne, the Goo Goo Dolls, Sister Hazel and Marc Cohn, and was named a 2008 "Reader's Choice Award" winner for best folk, country, or Americana act in the Chicago Reader.

More Shows I've Seen Over The Years
First, three musical events that weren't actually shows...
Steve Griggs, Milo Petersen, Elvin Jones,
Jay Thomas, and Phil Sparks. Photo by Kate Kulzer.
Elvin Jones/the Steve Griggs Quintet) recording session, May, 1998, the suburban boondocks of Seattle.
Elvin Jones came to Seattle to record an album with four Seattle players: bandleader saxophonist Steve Griggs, bassist Phil Sparks, Jay Thomas on trumpet, and guitarist (and often, drummer) Milo Petersen. They recorded out at Bear Creek for two or three days. Milo, a friend since childhood, got me to skip work and come out to the sessions. I spent about five hours there, enthralled with watching this jazz great play. It was really something special. I think for everyone in the studio it was a Big Moment. This guy who played on Coltrane's greatest albums was so generous to these guys, and seemed to dig their music, and playing. Bear Creek was a fantastic, cozy, beautiful old studio, kind of out in the woods, north of Bothell, Wash. They have a beautiful old analog console. Two CDs came out of these sessions: Jones for Elvin, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. You can get them on Amazon. Click here for a good article on this recording session. After the session, I got to eat dinner with the band and talk to Elvin. He gave me a hug when I left.
Gilda Radner album recording session. New York City, 1981. Our friend Cheryl was the music director, so we got to be part of the studio audience. We got to meet everyone (like Jane Curtin and Gilda). I can't remember who else was there or who the session players were. Bill Murray was our warm up. Before Gilda Radner would perform (and record) another song, Bill would come out to fluff us up for the performance. He was funny, and friendly. . .as he was every time I met him (two or three times, when I was with Cheryl. She also introduced us to all sorts of people, like the entire Saturday Night Live cast, Maxine Andrews, various cabaret figures, Bob Cranshaw, Lorna Luft, Divine, Buck Henry, Howard Shore, Lorne Michaels, and many more I am forgetting). Keelin was carrying a paper bag for some reason, and Bill Murray made a joke that she had stocked up on the buffet table.
Allen Ginsberg
Allen Ginsberg playing harmonium and chanting William Blake songs. WWU, Bellingham, Wash. 1976. Another meeting with a hero. He came to our classroom (a senior level poetry class) and for an hour or so sang and played harmonium to the Songs of Innocence and Experience by William Blake. He had appeared in all the books I had read by Kerouac, was a friend and lover of Neal Cassady, knew Kesey, helped William Burroughs assemble his Naked Lunch manuscript, and written some great poetry. This was an inspiring moment. I would meet him one more time. . .in New York City, at the Grassroots Bar on St. Mark's Place. Jerry Melin hailed him, and he came and talked to us, and gave Jerry a big kiss on the forehead. I have a tape somewhere of Jerry relating this story. . .
Dan Hicks And His Hot Licks, Seattle, Mid-70's and 2002 - I saw him twice. Once in the 70's (at Seward Park, with some local Seattle bands on the bill), and on August 31, 2002, at The Bumbershoot Festival. I love the old timey music, the violin, the chorus of women. Jerry Melin was the biggest fan I ever knew, and the last time I ever saw him, he played an obscure CD by them he had ordered from England...I'm An Old Cowhand, I Scare Myself, and Walking One And Only are some of my favorite songs. In the show at Bumbershoot, he was still the sly showman.
Lou Reed
Lou Reed, Memorial Stadium Seattle, Aug. 31, 2002. I was a big fan of Velvet Underground music, and a lot of Reed's . But this concert blew. It was a huge disappointment. The best part was when he read some poetry (the part that really put the rest of the audience off). Sometimes a legend just isn't so legendary...let sleeping dogs lie, and all those cliches. . .
George Harrison (with Billy Preston, Jim Keltner, Tom Scott and others), Seattle. Nov. 4, 1974. This was the tour around his Dark Horse album. Georges voice was famously hoarse on this album, and on this tour. But it was good to see him.
Ravi Shankar, Seattle, 1974. (Opened for his student George Harrison on the Dark Horse tour). Sitar and Tablas. . .good stuff.
Sky Cries Mary
John Wesley Harding
The Posies
The Crash Test Dummies
Puyallup Fair, September 1995. What a great lineup! All except for the headliners, The Crash Test Dummies. Sky Cries Mary (now defunct) was great. The Posies got into playing some hair rock. This was Brian Young's first show as the The Posies new drummer. Eventually he left, of course, and became the drummer for Fountains of Wayne.
John Hammond - Bumbershoot, the 90's. Mellow, cool, blues guy.
The Roches, Bumbershoot, Seattle, 1995. I liked their humor and easy harmonies.
The Roches (With Brian Eno), New York City, 1980. We saw them, I believe, at The Bottom Line. This was pretty early in their career, and they were great. Doubly cool was Brian Eno, who sat in and played guitar for part of the show. It was great just to see him in person in a small club...
The Fastbacks. I've seen them several times. They are about the oldest Seattle band (I think 20 years together or something like that). Kim Warnick was married for a time to Ken Stringfellow of The Posies.
The Buddy and Julie Miller Band
Buddy and Julie Miller. Bumbershoot, Seattle, September 1, 2002. One of my favorite new (or "alt") country bands. Buddy is a phenomenal guitar player (and Emmylou Harris's guitar player) and writer, and Julie has a terrific voice and stage presence. I didn't go to their show that night at The Tractor which sounded like a lot of fun. They don't come on tour often enough!
Delbert McLinton. A Woodland Park Zoo show, Seattle, August 13, 2002. This was a snoozer show, made better only by The Buddy Miller Band that opened for him. Unfortunately Julie was not there.
Bela Fleck - Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle. 2003. Great show, lots of standout performances by the band. Bela, as always, was a pleasure.
Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band, New York City, about 1980. The legendary big band played every Monday night at a club in the Village. We got to see them in some of their last years. I would get to see Thad's brother Elvin play twenty years later in the recording session mentioned above...
Ornette Coleman - Two times, in about 1978, at a loft around Cooper Square, NYC. Crazy stuff.
Carla Bley Big Band. Public Theatre. NYC, 1980. A hilarious show. It was so refreshing to see jazz with a little humor thrown in. . .jazz folks just take themselves a little too seriously.
Al Green -At the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, CA, mid-1980's. How could this not be great? He is one of the most innovative and moving R & B performers ever.
Mudhoney - at pain in the grass concert at the Horiuchi mural, Seattle, ('97). Legendary Seattle band. Nice show.
Presidents of The United States (2 times) , at Pain In The Grass, Seattle, early 2000s. This was at their peak. They played tuneful knucklehead/frat boy rock on a bassitar and a guitbass...instruments with two or three strings each.
Widespread Panic. Twice at Paramount Northwest. 1999 and election night, 2000. I liked their jams, and the guitar player who sat totally immobile, never moving an inch or looking up, hunched over the guitar with his hair in his eyes. He died a few years later, very young. They were a great jam band, with the same affliction many jam bands (like Phish) have: the singer can't sing. Jerry Garcia was like Pavarotti compared to most of these guys.
Andy Narrell. Steel drum player at The Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, about 1985. Even if his music appeared on Windham Hill, it was good. In later years his music has become more ethnic, incorporating more calypso and African elements.
Pat Metheny. Paramount Northwest, Seattle, about 1995. This was fun. I had been skeptical. He is a serious player. Like the Andy Narrell show, I went to this one with my friend from San Francisco David Grosten.
Eartha Kitt, 2003. Jazz Alley, Seattle. An inspiration, and like many people, I admired her for the way she stood up to LBJ at the White House (I wrote about that earlier here, with a great picture of LBJ staring her down... My friend Milo Petersen usually plays drums for her during her annual week in Seattle, at Jazz Alley. She's still a tease and has a sly, cabaret sort of sense of humor.
Stanley Turrentine. 1999. Jazz Alley, Seattle. An awful show. He was milking it.
Bob Weir, with Ratdog, at Bumbershoot, 2002. Like most Dead spinoffs, I liked seeing them but it never moved me in the way the real Grateful Dead did (and still do). Not even close.
The Other Ones. The Gorge, George, Washington. 200? See the comment above under Bob Weir.
The Dead (Grateful Dead minus Jerry Garcia with Joan Osborne, Jimmy Herring, Rob Barraco. The Gorge, George Washington, September 21, 2003. See the comment above under Bob Weir. Except this: Joan Osborne rocked! If they could have really incorporated her, they would have really had something. She was flirtatious, danced, and had fun, and of course, her voice is amazing.
Wynton Marsalis - I saw, him as mentioned previously, with Dizzy Gillespie. His brother Branford is much more to my liking, but Wynton is extremely talented.
The Minus Five Seattle, saw them twice around 2000. (Ken Stringfellow of The Posies, Scott McCaughey of Young Fresh Fellows, Peter Buck of REM, and various others).
Young Fresh Fellows - 1996?, Seattle Center, Horiuchi Mural. Longtime Seattle band. I like them but admit to never having bought a CD...
Paul Revere and The Raiders - I saw them once in their prime at a "Teen Fair," and once in about 2000, as a dreadful nostalgia act.
Son Volt - Bumbershoot 2005. Shoegazing alt-country...sort of. I thought their reputation was better than their performance.
Mavis Staples - Bumbershoot, Seattle, 2005. A fun show. You could tell how important it was to her to preserve the memory of the Staples, and Pop Staples in particular.
Etta James - I have seen her twice at Bumbershoot, both times in the mid-90's.
Maria Manville - A very odd cabaret singer in NYC. She was like a pet project of our friends Cheryl and Pinky.
Oscar Peterson - I was lucky enough to see in around 1983. Unfortunately, I remember little of the piano legend's show. . .well, I'm pretty sure he played piano...
Emily Remmler - Great guitar player. We saw her at a Jazz festival a year or so before her death (a heroin OD, I think). Sometime in the 80's.
George Cables - I can't remember much about his show either. He is an L.A.-based pianist.
Supersax - An ensemble of sax players that played only Bird songs. It was a strange sound, but I liked it a lot...We saw them at the Port Townsend Jazz Festival
Ray Brown - Legendary bass player. This was late in his career, but he could swing.
Taj Mahal - I saw him once at a rock festival, and once at Jazz Alley in about 2001.

Big Brother 6: The Final Veto, the Final Three
Tonight's show was pretty good. Janelle's private talk last time with April successfully planted ... The veto competition involved a rather convoluted structure that basically boiled down to knowing more about the ongoings of the house and the former HouseGuests than any other player.
Hey, you have a distinctive blog. I'll be sure to revisit.
I have a free business trials site. It covers free business trials related stuff!
- 9/13/2005
Jack, these concert lists are really impressive. You don't include any of the Central Park Miller shows though..., is it because we never made it close enough to hear more than a drone punctuated by drunken yelps? I think I accompanied you to some of the Jazz shows. Carla Bley for sure and I think Woody Shaw. The club in the Village has to have been The Village Vanguard.

Yeah - I think I only actually went inside maybe once to see the Talking Heads. These were at Wollman Rink in the park, I think. I remember we would sit on the lawn, outside the show and hear like Joan Armatrading, Rockpile, and various other folk, in the 90 degree heat (98% humidity), usually with a jug of something like Rum and Lemonade or Red Wine Spritzers.
Do you remember any others we saw there? I well remember some of the great Shakespeare we saw there, with people like Pacino, Meryl Streep, Raul Julia, and more...
- 9/14/2005
Oh, don't ask me to remember something specific from the period but No Nukes comes to mind which included the Boss and the E Street Band, jackson browne, and I can't remember what others. As for the Shakespeare at the Delacorte: I loved the all day events of waiting for tickets around the Great Scorched Lawn but don't tell that you have forgotten the chopper Tempest!!!
It's conclusive, I'm not human. This is my second stab at the word verification.

I did not see No Nukes--maybe it happened after I left NYC. It was at the Garden right, with CSNY, those you mention, and more.
How could I forget that Tempest --with a chopper flying over "the island" every night on cue. I think this had to be A Mabou Mines production.
I suck at word verification too...I have to do it to comment also... /jb
- 9/14/2005
Yes,it was mabou mines and I'm afraid that I've conflatedthe no nukes march that terminated in the park near where we had attended a Miller Summerstage that featured Bruce. You must have been there, too, way before No nukes which I definitely didn't attend at the MSG.

- El Snoozo said...
Where's the "Drunks Of Hazzard" live from the Fenix Underground?
But seriously, that is quite a number of bands, and music signifies so much in life, but going and experiencing music is that much more impactful. There are some bands whose songs I never really liked, but then saw them play live and became a fan.

Redskins shut out: Girls soccer loses to St. Marys 4-0
WAPAKONETA — The St. Marys Roughriders rode a second-half backwind in route to a 4-0 victory of the Wapakoneta Redskins.
Varsity girls soccer coach Paul Dingledine said that he knew the wind was going to play a factor in the contest, and whichever team had it behind them was playing with an advantage.
"The wind played a factor, we were hoping to win the coin flip in the first half, but they took that, we were fighting the wind the whole first half, then it pretty much died down at halftime," Dingledine said. "It became a pretty evenly matched game."
Wapakoneta varsity girls soccer coach Ross Kantner agreed, and said his team needed to to take advantage in the first half, and not forfeit two goals.
"We knew that when we got the wind in the first half, we'd have to play a little bout more long-ball and take advantage. We knew in the second half, that they would use the wind in their advantage," Kantner said.
St. Mary's scored two first-half goals with the wind in its face.
"They had some opportunities, we had some opportunities, we just took care of the things we needed to do," Dingledine said.
Molly Albert had two goals on the game for St. Marys. Kelly Heitkamp and Skylar Liming each added one goal to bring the Roughrider total to four.
St. Marys goalkeeper Paige Dicus was not challenged very much on the night, and actually did not have to record a save, as Wapakoneta recorded zero shots on target.
St. Marys had 12 shots on target, and the Redskin combination of Sara Foor and Mikayla Halfhill had eight saves.
Kantner said the team chemistry his team is showing, and the passion as a unit is disappointing.
"From a team personality, I don't think we have 100 percent buy-in what we're trying to do. I think we've got some kids putting their hearts on the line, I just don't think we have everybody going at it. That's a little disappointing at this point in the season," Kantner said. "You see some kids just putting it out there, and some other kids that are just kind of there."
Dingledine said Wapakoneta has talent on the field, and that it had its chance, but injuries have hurt both squads.
"Sara (Warner) is definitely a strong girl, she seems to be their go-to person. Injuries have just been devastating here. We've had some injuries. So hopefully Wapak can get their girls back, and we can get ours back and we can have a good tournament run," Dingledine said.
Thursday, Wapakoneta travels to Van Wert and St. Marys travels to Ottawa-Glandorf.

Fracking fluid is not as safe as the gas industry claims. A study conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found that a fracking fluid spill was responsible for significant fish deaths in a Kentucky stream.
The spill occurred in Acorn Fork Creek in southern Kentucky. The stream was designated as an Outstanding State Resource Waters by the state.
According to USGS scientist Diana Papoulias, "Our study is a precautionary tale of how entire populations could be put at risk even with small-scale fluid spills. This is especially the case if the species is threatened or is only found in limited areas, like the blackside dace is in the Cumberland."
The blackside dace is a small, colorful fish that is federally threatened and is an excellent indicator of the environmental health of a stream. Die-offs of other species, including the creek chub and green sunfish, also occurred. The study found surviving fish that had developed gill lesions as well as liver and spleen damage from the spill.
After the fracking fluid entered the creek, the pH level dropped from 7.5 to 5.6. A lower pH means the water is more acidic.
This is yet more proof that fracking is unsafe. While the gas industry may claim that their fracking fluid is completely harmless and composed of common chemicals, nothing could be further from the truth.
If this is what happens to fish when this stuff gets in the water, one can only wonder what it will do to us.

You can easily build a test case with our maven archetypes.

Evict only removes from memory,not the cache store, so what you're seeing is normal. Use remove() if you want complete removal.

Tuesday's High School Softball Roundup
SALLISAW — The Poteau Lady Pirates made it 2-for-2 to start the season as they run ruled the Sallisaw Lady Black Diamonds 17-5 Tuesday afternoon.The Lady Pirates scored twice in the first inning and six runs in the second inning for an 8-0 lead. Most of the Poteau runs were unearned due to Sallisaw miscues.Shelby Standridge scored four runs, Natalee King and Meagan Ryburn three runs apiece and two runs scored each by Kylie Brown, Brenna Vise and Montana Roll. Sidnee Ward scored the other run.Cameron 10, Arkoma 0: In Cameron, the Lady Yellowjackets made it two straight wins to begin the season.The Lady 'Jackets scored four runs in the first inning, then three runs in each the second and third innings for a 10-0 lead.Heavener 20, Smithville 0: In Smithville, Heavener pitcher Amber Holt threw a two-hit shutout.The Lady Wolves put the game away early with an 11-run first inning.Panama 25, Sallisaw-Central 16: In Sallisaw, the Lady Razorbacks used a two-out, 12-run rally in the fourth inning to overcome an eight-run defecit.Wister 12, Keota 2: In Keota, a six-run fourth inning broke a 2-2 tie to enable the Lady Wildcats to get the win, and bounce back from Monday afternoon's heartbreaking loss to Cameron.Roland def. Spiro: In Spiro, the Lady Bulldogs scored only one run, that by Tiffany Woods on Braylin Gray's RBI, as the visiting Lady Rangers run ruled the Lady Bulldogs in four innings.Editor's Note — Leflore's game at Panola was treated as a scrimmage, and the Lady Savages will entertain Arkoma this afternoon. Today's game was originally a road game for Leflore, but Arkoma's field is being used by the Mustangs' baseball team.

Roads and schools were closed and flights canceled across upstate New York on Tuesday as a blizzard slammed the western part of the state, while dangerously cold temperatures gripped eastern areas from the Adirondacks to New York City.
Roads and schools were closed and flights canceled across upstate New York on Tuesday as a blizzard slammed the western part of the state, while dangerously cold temperatures gripped eastern areas from the Adirondacks to New York City.
The storm had dumped an estimated 15 to 18 inches of snow in some areas of western New York by Tuesday morning, with winds gusting up to 50 mph making travel "difficult if not impossible," National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Hibbert said.
Up to 3 feet of Lake Erie-generated snow was expected in some areas around Buffalo, and as much as 4 feet could fall near the eastern end of Lake Ontario by the time the storm eases up Wednesday, he said. But it was the sustained, window-rattling, whiteout-producing wind that forced schools, stores, doctors' offices, museums and courts closed.
"This is an out-of-the-ordinary event, even for Buffalo," Hibbert said. "It's been 20 years since we had blizzard warnings of this magnitude in this area."
A more than 130-mile stretch of Interstate 90 in western New York was closed from just south of Rochester to the Pennsylvania line because of poor visibility. The blowing snow led to travel bans across much of western New York and areas north of Syracuse. Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency for 14 counties.
The weather service's blizzard warning for the city of Buffalo and surrounding areas was in place until 6 a.m. Wednesday.
About 15 truckers were waiting out the storm at Jim's Travel Plaza outside Buffalo. Richard Merbler, a driver for Ace Hardware based out of Saratoga County, said the wind was "blowing like the devil" in Niagara Falls on Tuesday morning, but conditions were even worse the night before along the Thruway between Rochester and Buffalo.
"Batavia last night wasn't fit for a dog when I was there. You couldn't see," Merbler told The Associated Press.
The snow and below-zero wind chills weren't the only threats. Forecasters issued a flash flood warning for Niagara Falls and Grand Island after an ice jam formed in the upper Niagara River because of the high winds, causing water levels to rise. Ice breaking vessels from the New York Power Authority and Ontario Power Generation worked through the night Monday and throughout Tuesday.
The National Hockey League canceled Tuesday night's game between the Buffalo Sabres and Carolina Hurricanes, even though the Hurricanes made it to town ahead of the storm. The game will be played later in the year.
About a 75-mile stretch of Interstate 81 north of Syracuse to the Canadian border also closed indefinitely. I-81 cuts through the Tug Hill Plateau region where 4 to 5 feet of snow was forecast by the time the storm subsides Wednesday.
State police in Watertown said numerous vehicles were stuck along local roads, with troopers and sheriff's deputies working with tow truck drivers to remove the stranded drivers.
Hundreds of schools from the state's southwestern corner to the Hudson Valley were closed because of the weather, most due to the blizzard conditions in western areas but others because of temperatures in the single digits and wind chills well below zero.

WTP Capabilities Helios
This documents some sample capability definitions provided by the Web Tools Platform. They are called "sample" because many products or adopters will want to create their own, to fit in with their product and/or other capabilities they define. The description here, though, is used in the Java EE IDE package produced as part of the EPP package downloads.
Our sample capabilities are provided in four bundles, corresponding to the 4 major deliverables of tool collections we have. These are not delivered in any of our zip files, but are put in the common repository for the Simultaneous Release, for easy consumption by EPP builds. Adopters can use the bundles if they'd like, but in many cases would be easier to copy/paste the contents of the plugin.xml files, to fit their product.
- org.eclipse.wtp.javascript.capabilities - JavaScript
- org.eclipse.wtp.xml.capabilities - XML Related Editors and Tools
- org.eclipse.wtp.web.capabilities - Web Development (non Java, e.g. HTML, CSS, etc)
- org.eclipse.wtp.jee.capabilities - Java EE Development
CVS Location
If adopters would like to get the projects from CVS, to read the plugin.xml definitions, for example,
They are located in the webtools repository, at
/cvsroot/webtools, in the following modules.
The "plugin" links below point to the plugin.xml, as a convenience to those preferring just to get the text and copy/paste into your own product's capability definitions.
- sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wtp.javascript.capabilities (plugin.xml)
- sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wtp.xml.capabilities (plugin.xml)
- sourceediting/plugins/org.eclipse.wtp.web.capabilities (plugin.xml)
- jeetools/plugins/org.eclipse.wtp.jee.capabilities (plugin.xml)
How to fetch from common repository
TBD - To be determined (and tested?)
Note below that where the repository is referred to as
this is the goal for M7, and the Helios Release. As of this writing, they are not yet even in staging.
- P2 Maps?
In theory (I say in theory since untested, and doubt it will be anytime soon) consumers using the PDE batch build could include references to the 4 bundles using "p2 format" map files, such as
firstname.lastname@example.com,1.1.0=p2IU,id=org.eclipse.wtp.javascript.capabilities,version=1.1.0,repository=http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios email@example.com,1.1.0=p2IU,id=org.eclipse.wtp.xml.capabilities,version=1.1.0,repository=http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios firstname.lastname@example.com,1.1.0=p2IU,id=org.eclipse.wtp.web.capabilities,version=1.1.0,repository=http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios firstname.lastname@example.com,1.1.0=p2IU,id=org.eclipse.wtp.jee.capabilities,version=1.1.0,repository=http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios
- Mirroring individual bundles?
The bundles are (will be, in M7) in the common respository and can be fetched from there by a p2 mirror ant task. This sample ant task, is an example only (and currently untested) and would need to be adjusted for final locations, etc.
<project default="testrepo" basedir="."> <target name="testrepo"> <p2.mirror verbose="true"> <repository location="file:/testrepo2" name="A test repository" /> <source> <repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/" /> </source> <iu id="org.eclipse.wtp.javascript.capabilities" /> <iu id="org.eclipse.wtp.xml.capabilities" /> <iu id="org.eclipse.wtp.web.capabilities" /> <iu id="org.eclipse.wtp.jee.capabilities" /> </p2.mirror> </target> </project>
- Mirroring the feature?
There is (will be in M7) a capability feature in the common repository. It is a simple grouping mechanism, and is intentionally not categorized, since normally end-users should not install this feature from the common repository. This sample ant task, is an example only (and currently untested) and would need to be adjusted for final locations, etc.
<project default="testrepo" basedir="."> <target name="testrepo"> <p2.mirror verbose="true"> <repository location="file:/testrepo2" name="A test repository" /> <source> <repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/" /> </source> <iu id="org.eclipse.wtp.capabilities.feature.feature.group" /> </p2.mirror> </target> </project>
Putting capabilities together in a product definition
To actually make use of these sample capability definitions, an adopter or product needs to "bind" them, "enable" them, and fit them into some preference page for capabilities.
And example of how this is done for the Java EE IDE for the EPP package, can be see in the webtools.releng/plugins/org.eclipse.wtp.epp.package.capabilities module, primarily its plugin.xml file.
Progressive Discover Trigger Points
WTP does not currently provide any "progressive discovery" trigger points.
Known limitations
There are currently no capabilities defined for JSF or JPA Tool functions.
