variable(1) Any attribute, phenomenon or event that can have different qualitative or quantitative values. Typically, a form of metadata goes with the variable, there is a variable definition that describes what is varying and there is a value for the variable. Variables are typically assessed in a clinical trial.
(2) In Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM), variables describe observations with roles that determine the type of information conveyed by the variable about each observation and how it can be used.
In SDTM, variables include specific subtypes used in clinical research: "study variable" in trial design refers to a variable to be captured on the case record form (CRF); an "assessment" is a study variable pertaining to the status of a subject/patient, is usually measured at a certain time and is usually not compounded significantly by combining several simultaneous measurements to form a derived assessment (e.g., BMI, or a result of statistical analysis); an "endpoint" is a variable that pertains to the trial objectives.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Non-profit and fraud — these words aren't supposed to go together, but the president of a Utah non-profit group and the owner of a Utah fitness company have been accused of defrauding several school districts around the United States of millions of dollars.
In a Minneapolis, MN District Court hearing on July 19, 2004, Joseph Mont Beardall of Highland, Utah, pled guilty to two counts of bank fraud, one count of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud for mismanagement of money from fitness equipment sales to schools across Minnesota. His company, School Fitness Systems LLC, and a non-profit group, the National School Fitness Foundation (NSFF), offered schools a deal where they could buy fitness equipment and training through Beardall's company. The schools were required to buy the equipment and services from School Fitness Systems, and NSFF was supposed to pay the schools back over three years by using donations, fundraising and federal grants. However, the NSFF money actually came from school districts that had just enrolled in School Fitness Systems' program. Now, the 600 schools in 20 states that were told they would be reimbursed have been hit hard by costs that the NSFF said they would fund. So far, only $38 million of the $77.5 million has been paid back to the banks that loaned these districts money.
Schools from all over the United States bought into the company's plan hoping to get new fitness equipment for their students. The Box Elder School District of Utah owes almost $250,000, while Pasadena ISD in Houston, Texas, owes more than a quarter of a million dollars. Other schools around the country owe amounts of up to $2 million.
Last month, NSFF's president, Cameron Lewis, resigned from his position after he was accused of misappropriating more than $5 million from the foundation. According to an article in the Salt Lake Tribune on June 22, 2004, Lewis and his father, Ty Lewis, have been accused of defrauding the foundation out of millions of dollars through personal loans repaid at extremely high interest rates, overly generous compensation packages, self-serving contracts and questionable trust accounts. The foundation has now filed for bankruptcy, leaving the school districts to fend for themselves.
During the hearing, Beardall (and School Fitness Systems) admitted to knowing that the foundation had convinced school districts to buy into the program by telling them that the fitness equipment would be free once the schools were reimbursed by the NSFF. They also admitted to knowing that the company was in a bad financial position, but didn't tell prospective clients about their financial troubles.
In his plea agreement, Beardall has agreed to pay restitution by selling his home, worth $1 million, liquidating his $50,000 IRA account, and the interest in his family foundation trust, which amounts to almost $100,000. Found guilty in court in July, he could face almost three years in prison. School Fitness Systems pled guilty to one count of mail fraud and one count of money laundering, and will now have to surrender its assets, including $2.6 million in its bank accounts. The company could face up to $500,000 in fines.
The foundation will now be taken to bankruptcy court in Utah, and a civil case is being filed against them by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota.

Arabian nights, Christmas-style
Posted by adiamondinsunlight on December 27, 2009
Santa stockings are a great source of fun for our family. Stocking stuffers run the gamut from nail files and travel earplugs to magazines and golf balls. And they include goofier thinking-of-you items as well. This year, my stocking included this bag of candy:
An "Arabian Nights" candy mix? Total, total mystery. All I see on the corporate website is that this is a "classic Christmas candy". Perhaps it has something to do with the Nutcracker?
I have no idea, but I laughed with delight when I found this bag in my stocking. The more Arabian nights, the better!

Jennifer Hudson Family Murder Trial: Did William Balfour Confess to Killings?
There was drama and groundbreaking new testimony in the Jennifer Hudson family murder trial, which may prove especially damning to defendant William Balfour. His mistress claims that Balfour confessed to killing two of Hudson's family members.
Balfour's girlfriend, Shonta Cathey, said that Balfour confessed to shooting J-Hud's brother, Jason Hudson, and her mother, Darnell Donerson. Cathey told the court, "He said, if anybody asked, he was there at 10:00," Cathey said. "Then he began to tell me what happened ... He said, 'They got shot,' and I said, 'Who?' He said, 'Her mother and her brother,' and I was looking at him crazy … like bug eyed, and just staring at him," The Chicago Sun-Times reports. "He say he went in and the brother rushed him, and he shot him, and the mother was coming down the stairs, calling his name, and he shot her."
Cathey said that Balfour admitted to the murders a few hours after they occurred on the morning of Oct. 24, 2008, but that he swore he didn't hurt Hudson's nephew, seven-year-old Julian King. I told him kids don't got nothing to so with what grownups go through, I hope it ain't nothing happen to the little boy," Cathey said. "He said I had nothing to worry about. He laid back down watching TV." Balfour was arrested hours later in Cathey's apartment.
Balfour maintains his innocence of all charges, but testimony from another witness may make it easier for the prosecution to convict him. The prosecution claims Balfour went to the Hudsons' house at about 9 AM on Oct. 24, 2008 shot Donerson in the living room, then shot Jason Hudson twice in the head as he lie in bed. The prosecution argues that immediately after the murders of Donerson and Jason, Balfour left in Jason's white sports utility vehicle with King lying behind a front seat, later shooting King in the head. King's body was found in Jason's stolen, abandoned SUV three days later.
Witness Bill Graham claims that he saw Balfour driving Jason Hudson's white SUV, which he found unusual because he knew that Balfour usually drove a green Chrysler. "I wondered who would let him drive a truck like that because I never seen him drive one before," Graham told the court.
Chicago Police officer Victor Perez was sent to investigate the abandoned vehicle and discovered King's body. After shining a flashlight through the windows to examine the interior of the SUV, Perez told the court he saw a white cloth, then a small hand -- and "quite a bit of blood." Perez said he called dispatchers, though he knew "it was already too late to do anything."
The drama wasn't limited to the witness stand. Jennifer Hudson, who's been present for every day of the trial, reportedly looked back at Balfour's mother, who remarked, "What the hell is she looking at?" Outbursts like that, while not admissible to the jury for consideration, can't bode well for Balfour's defense.
Our thoughts are with Jennifer Hudson and her family during this difficult time. We hope everyone involved is brought to justice.

It's here. It's here. It's finally here! It's Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiere week! The movie comes out on Friday, November 16. And millions of Twi-hards will be dragging their best friends to the theaters this weekend, whether they've seen the first four films or not.
So what if you're in the "I don't watch Twilight movies" bunch? This is bound to be a box office buster, and you're going to want to be part of it. But we don't want you to be completely lost when you hunker down with your popcorn. We've got a Breaking Dawn Part 2 cheat sheet to catch you up on everything Twilight! You might want to print this one out (and bring a pen light). It's going to keep you from whispering "huh" to your Edward-loving friends all night.
Bella Swan -- Played by Kristen Stewart. She started out as a normal high school student who moved to the small town of Forks, Washington to live with her dad after her mom got remarried. Then she fell in love with a vampire, graduated from high school, married him, and had his child. Now she's a vampire too.
Edward Cullen -- Bella's vampire husband, played by Robert Pattinson. He's a "vegetarian" vampire who doesn't believe in attacking people, and he glitters in the sun (yeah, yeah, we know). He "turned" Bella to a vampire at the end of Breaking Dawn Part 1, but it was really to save her life after the difficult delivery of their daughter.
Renesmee Cullen -- Bella and Edward's daughter. Yes, most Twilight fans are thinking exactly what you are about the name. It's a mash-up of Bella's mom, Renee, and Edward's mom, Esme. It's dumb. Did I mention Bella became a mom just after graduating from high school and getting married? Moving on.
Jacob Black -- Bella's bestie who has had a hella crush on her for about as long as she's been pining for Edward, he's played by Taylor Lautner. He's Native American. Oh yeah, and a werewolf with insanely fantastic abs. The huge problem here is that werewolves aren't exactly crazy about vampires -- go figure, huh? Jacob and his wolf pack have had to learn to love Edward and his family because they don't attack people, but it's a tenuous relationship at best. And now for the really big news: he's "imprinted" on baby Renesmee. It's some crazy wolf thing that basically means they're soulmates, and he will do anything he can to protect her. He'll have to wait until she's a grownup to actually be with her though, so it's not creepy ... but only just.
So now that you've got the main characters down, just one more thing. The vampires and the werewolves are coming together to form a small army of supernatural heroes (think the Avengers) to fight the Volturi, the cutthroat leaders of the vampire world. This s--t is about to get real.
Do you have your tickets for Breaking Dawn Part 2 yet? Are you going to need a cheat sheet to get through it?

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
The US military has deployed antimissile systems to Hawaii to beef up the islands' defenses in response to intelligence reports that North Korea may test-fire long-range ballistic missiles toward the state around the July 4 holiday.
Analysts say North Korea has little to gain from shooting test missiles at the United States, and suggest this latest move could reflect internal political divisions over the country's foreign policy and the eventual succession of its leader, Kim Jong-il. The secretive state heightened its threatening rhetoric after the UN Security Council imposed sanctions on the North in response to its nuclear test May 25. North Korea, which has also tested long- and short-range missiles in the past months, has threatened to respond "a thousand-fold" if provoked.
Citing analysis from Japan's Defense Ministry and information from US satellites, the Japanese daily Yomiuri Shimbun reported on Thursday that long-range Taepodong-2 missiles were brought to the North's Tongchang-ri launch site on May 30. Japan reportedly believes "it is highly likely [they] will be launched toward Hawaii" between July 4 and July 8, the anniversary of the 1994 death of former North Korean leader Kim Il-sung, who was Kim Jong-il's father.
However, it is unlikely the test missiles would reach US territory, says Yomiuri. Taepodong-2 missiles have a range of 4,000 – 6,500 kilometers (2,485 – 4,038 miles), but Hawaii and North Korea are 7,000 kilometers (4,349 miles) apart.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates would not say how the US plans to respond to any North Korean tests, but expressed confidence in its ability to handle the situation, reports the Los Angeles Times. The Times reports that a ship-based radar relay docked in Hawaii known as SBX has been assigned to watch the skies. The Pentagon has also sent the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile system to the state, and placed missile interceptors in California and Alaska on the ready. Working together, the network is designed to shoot an approaching missile out of the sky.
Speaking to Honolulu Fox affiliate KHON, Carl Baker of the Center for Strategic and International Studies Pacific Forum said the episode might reflect divisions within North Korea between those who want to engage further with the outside world and those who do not. Honolulu ABC affiliate KITV says news of the possible missile test "is making some people edgy." But speaking to the network, analyst Denny Roy says "long-term issue[s]" within North Korea are a bigger concern than the possibility of a missile strike on Hawaii.
"The question you have to ask is: Why would they want to do that? It would be basically suicidal … for North Korea to launch a missile, nuclear or conventional," said Denny Roy, of the East-West Center.
Roy said he thinks the latest tensions are tied to the struggle over the succession of Kim Jong Il.
"There is more of a crisis atmosphere than there was a couple of years ago. A couple of years ago we had some hope of the dismantling of the nuclear weapons program now that seems to be off the table," Roy said.
An article in Foreign Policy argues that the world should not rule out North Korea's possible use of nuclear weapons, as the regime "would do anything to survive."
This game of escalation will go on and on until North Korea gets what it desires most from Washington: a reliable security assurance. Of course, no one likes to yield to dictators. But ultimately, playing chicken with a desperate and nuclear-armed North Korea is too risky to endeavor. The more isolated the North Koreans become, the more likely they will be to use the nuclear card in threatening two hostages: South Korea and Japan. Everyone loses that game.

An award-winning project involving the sustainable collection of a medicinal plant by village cooperatives in protected panda habitat in central China is bringing benefits for people, wildlife and business alike
The fruits of Southern Schisandra, a woody vine, are used in various medicinal and food products such as herbal teas, tinctures, medicated wine, jams and dietary supplements.
In China, as in many other countries, over-harvesting of wild medicinal plant species is a serious conservation concern. Aside from problems caused by the harvesting itself, collectors can also have serious secondary impacts through camping in reserves, hunting and gathering fuel-wood to dry commercial quantities of medicinal plants. Such habitat destruction and disturbance also threatens endangered wildlife, including the Giant Panda.
The collection of medicinal plants in the Upper Yangtze is rising as households compensate for the loss of income from farming and timber harvesting caused by policies that ban logging and discourage farming on steep slopes.
To help alleviate the problem, a joint initiative was developed and implemented in 2007-2011 by IUCN, WWF and TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, as part of the EU-China Biodiversity Programme. This led to local producer association members, harvesters and governmental officials being trained in organic wild crop harvesting practices and certification procedures, as well as piloting application of the FairWild Standard.
"This initiative has shown how sustainable harvesting of wild plant resources creates positive benefits for local livelihoods and conservation efforts," says Anastasiya Timoshyna, TRAFFIC's Medicinal Plant Programme Leader.
Income for local producers in the project areas has increased, thanks to higher prices paid for certified, sustainably-harvested medicinal and aromatic plants. In the case of Schisandra berries, international and local buyers paid at least 30% above normal market prices for certified produce. A survey of project sites in March 2011 found incomes from medicinal plant collection had risen, thanks to the price premium for certified ingredients; in one village by almost 18% over 2007 levels.
The project also led to the creation of links between producer associations and buyer groups. Two communities have signed purchase agreements with a local winery and the newly-established Shuijing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Cooperative has signed a five-year fair trade agreement with a Californian company for the supply of sustainably-harvested Schisandra fruits.
The project, supported through the Kangmei Institute of Community Development and Marketing has seen further adoption of sustainable harvesting methods in the region and communities working through international partnerships to promote a 'giant panda friendly' brand and to create panda-friendly certification standards for local harvesters.
TRAFFIC has begun follow-up work in China focusing on greening supply chains in the Traditional Chinese Medicine sector. Through a project supported by the EU-China Environmental Governance Programme, TRAFFIC and partners will support industries in Zhejiang and Hunan provinces to demonstrate social responsibility by implementing the FairWild principles for sustainable and fair trade in wild-harvested medicinal plant species with their suppliers.
Beyond the experience in China, the FairWild Standard is serving as a best-practice framework for sustainable harvesting and equitable trade in wild plants from various countries around the world. Such trade is supporting sustainable use in and around protected areas including the South Xuan Lac Species and Habitat Conservation Area in Bac Kan Province, northern Viet Nam, for harvesting several medicinal plant species and with the Waorani community in Yasuni National Park in Ecuador for harvesting Chambira palm leaves.
TRAFFIC and IUCN's Medicinal Plant Specialist Group are contributing to a series of publications by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the World Health Organisation on health and biodiversity which will be launched at the CBD conference and the World Parks Congress later this year.

(sorry for my bad english, I'm Indonesian) My current project is a software that analyze DNA/Protein sequence data that needs high performance aspect on it. I plan to deploy this software on network of workstations (mm, may be just about 10 PCs on the network). Am I in wrong place now? I am going to use message passing paradigm (MPI) to write the software. I've read that there are several choice of MPI implementation. The problem is, I'm bad in both C or Fortran (I usually use Java as my favorite language). Some source said that Java (or it's MPI wrapper or pure MPI implementation) isn't good enough to implement a parallel computing solution. Is that right? My third question is, is there any pdf/ps/one file version of "Engineering a Beowulf-style Compute Cluster''? Thanks in advance. -- For the sake of time..

Telecoms: new measures to counter data roaming bill shocks from 1 July; lower roaming call price caps
(See also MEMO/10/279)
From 1 July 2010 consumers no longer need to worry about accidentally running up huge bills when they connect to the internet using mobile networks via a phone or computer when abroad in the EU. Thanks to the EU's roaming rules, from 1st July travellers' data-roaming limit will be automatically set at €50 excluding VAT (unless they have chosen another limit - higher or lower). Operators will have to send users a warning when they reach 80% of their data-roaming bill limit. The operator will have to cut off the mobile internet connection once the limit has been reached, unless the customer has indicated they want to continue data roaming that particular month. In addition, maximum wholesale prices for data roaming will fall from €1 to 80 cents per MegaByte. The maximum price for making a roaming call will be cut to 39 cents per minute (excluding VAT), instead of the current 43 cents, while receiving a call will cost a maximum of 15 cents per minute (excluding VAT), instead of 19 cents. The cost of making and receiving calls when abroad in the EU will now be 73% cheaper than in 2005, when the EU first started to tackle excessive roaming charges (IP/05/901).
Commission Vice-President for the Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes said: "There will be no more bill shocks for tourists or business travellers surfing the internet with smart phones or laptops while in another EU country. The EU is also cutting the cost of roaming calls for travellers. I am determined to make the EU's telecoms markets more competitive."
Data roaming
The EU's 2009 Roaming Regulation (N° 544/2009) required mobile operators to offer their customers, as of March 2010 (IP/10/215), the possibility to set their own monthly cut-off price limit for data roaming via mobile phone or a computer. From 1st July 2010, if customers have not chosen a different cut-off level, operators will have to impose a monthly default cut-off for data roaming of €50 excluding VAT. For non-eurozone countries, the amount will be calculated based on the exchange rate published in the EU's Official Journal as of 1 June 2010. These measures mean that users will no longer receive massive bills (potentially thousands of euros) because they downloaded music or watched videos on their phones or computers while in another Member State without being aware of the cost. As an example of the problem, in 2009, a German traveller downloading a TV programme while roaming in France faced a bill of no less than €46 000. In another recent example, a UK student was reported as receiving a bill of almost €9 000 for data roaming during a single month while studying abroad.
Under the Regulation, operators must send their customers a message informing them about the data roaming tariffs every time they enter another EU country. Operators must also send customers a warning alert once they have reached 80% of their specified limit. Messages can be sent by text message, e-mail or with a pop-up window on computer screens, whichever way the operator chooses and according to the device being used.
In addition, the maximum wholesale prices for data roaming allowed under the Roaming Regulation are cut as of 1st July from 1 euro to 80 cents per MegaByte (MB) of information uploaded or downloaded. Next year, the price will fall further to 50 cents per MB.
Roamed voice calls
The maximum retail prices (excl. VAT) for roaming calls will also be reduced. They will fall by nearly 10%, from 43 cents to 39 cents per minute for calls made and by more than 20% from 19 cents to 15 cents per minute for calls received.
Finally, receiving a voice mail message while roaming will become free of charge, but consumers will continue to be charged for listening to their voice mail messages. Prices for sending short text messages will remain at 11 cents per message.
Member States' national telecoms regulators must ensure that mobile phone operators comply with the new rules on data roaming and the lower prices of voice calls. Consumers can contact the national regulator in the Member State where their mobile operator is based if they have any problems or questions about the new limits.
The EU's Council of Ministers and the European Parliament, acting on a proposal from the European Commission, first introduced caps on roaming prices in 2007 (IP/07/870), ensuring that mobile phone subscribers pay similar roaming tariffs across the EU. In July 2009, they adopted revised rules that cut roaming prices further in instalments so that by July 2011 the maximum roaming charges would be 35 cents per minute for calls made and 11 cents for calls received while abroad (see IP/09/1064 and MEMO/09/309). The 2009 roaming rules will apply until the end of June 2012.
The Commission will present an interim report on the impact of the Roaming Regulation by the end of June 2010 and provide a full review of its functioning by 30 June 2011. In the 2011 full review it will assess how best to reach its objective, as outlined in the Digital Agenda for Europe, that the difference in tariffs between roaming and home-country mobile-phone calls should approach zero by 2015 (see IP/10/581, MEMO/10/199 and MEMO/10/200).
The Commission will continue to monitor developments in roaming services and the correct implementation of these rules, in close cooperation with BEREC, the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications.

Review: Fred Armisen live at Bowery Ballroom
Photos by G.
I already loved Fred Armisen prior to seeing him live at his sold out performance at New York's Bowery Ballroom on February 19, 2013; however, now that I've seen his show, I love him a lot more. Performing for over two hours, Fred Armisen presented a multi-media experience that featured videos (including one of Karen Carpenter miming along to an extended drum solo – good find Fred!), as yet unreleased clips from his hit show "Portlandia," bits of stand up comedy, and musical performances that featured many special guests.
Fred Armisen brought out many special guests including Leigh Gorman, the bass player from Bow Wow Wow, Michael Lerner of Telekinesis, Michael Caws from Nada Surf, Marnie Stern and Leigh Nash from Sixpence None The Richer (who sang lead vocals on the show closer – a cover of TLC's "Waterfalls"!)
Fred Armisen and his band played songs from many of the musical sketches that have either been on Portlandia or Saturday Night Live and he also took requests from the audience which included people requesting him to imitate various drummers or speak in different accents – and he is a master in both disciplines. In fact, a video of Fred Armisen and his many accents will be coming soon, so stay tuned! There was also a question and answer session with the crowd and Fred admitted that he was having so much fun, he didn't want the night to end. The audience was in complete agreement! It's not often that Fred performs a show like this, but when he does, you'll definitely want to attend as you will have a blast. On a side note, I spotted Phoenix' lead singer Thomas Mars and his wife director Sofia Coppola in the crowd. I did not take photos with them, but after the jump, you can see the set list as well as some of the people I did take photos with.

There is no Vick at Dick's.
A spokesman for Dick's Sporting Goods said yesterday that the chain will not stock Michael Vick's Eagles jersey until company officials "evaluate the reaction of Eagles fans."
Meanwhile, the NFLShop, the league's merchandizing arm, is offering several styles of Vick's gridiron apparel — including a customizable jersey for dogs.
Vick, the former star quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, was released from a federal prison in May after serving 18 months on a dogfighting conviction. His signing with the Eagles last week has polarized the team's fans and triggered a storm of debate across the country.
"Right now we don't know how much of a demand there is for" the jersey, Dick's chief marketing officer, Jeff Hennion, said in a prepared statement. "If there is a demand for it, we'll sell it."
Mitchell Modell, owner and CEO of Modell's Sporting Goods, said he initially had reservations about selling Vick jerseys. But it didn't take long to see there was "pretty high demand" for No. 7's sports apparel — especially at his Philadelphia-area stores.
"We weren't planning on selling it until the customers started coming into the stores demanding it," Modell said. "As long as the customers are coming in, we'll sell it. We're in the business to serve our customers."
The day after his arrest on dogfighting charges in July 2007, the NFLShop.com removed Vick's Falcons jerseys and other collectibles from its Web site. Reebok, the manufacturer of Vick-emblazoned apparel, suspended sales soon after.
Yesterday, Vick Eagles jerseys in dark green, white or black were offered by the NFLShop site for $79.99, $109.99 and up.
"We anticipate sales of No. 7 jerseys will be among the top-20-selling player jerseys for the month of August," said the NFLShop's Brian McCarthy.

The NFLShop is also selling an Eagles jersey for dogs that could be customized with the No. 7 and VICK on the back for $39.99.
"Just as you could with any other player, you can buy a customizable jersey for a dog with anybody's name on it," said league spokesman Greg Aiello.
Aiello said there are some names that the NFLShop would not accept — "Badnewz," the name of Vick's former kennel, among them.
"But just to have Michael Vick's name on the back is not an issue," Aiello said. "Vick is working with the Humane Society and speaking out for the proper treatment of animals, so we don't see a problem."
Outside Dick's Sporting Goods in the Metroplex Shopping Center in Plymouth Meeting, a woman who declined to give her name said she would not even take a Vick jersey if it was free.
Another woman from the Main Line at the store said she is "absolutely not going to watch the Eagles" and would never buy the jersey. She said she owns two cats and a year-old pit bull named Ace, who she said is loving and friendly to children.
"My opinion is, Vick did his time and he deserves a second chance, but not as a role model to kids," she said.
Joe Parham, 61, a tailor from Chestnut Hill who said he has prospered despite being involved in a gang as a boy, said he would definitely buy a Vick jersey. If Dick's didn't have them, he said he would go elsewhere to buy one.
"I don't think they think that people do change," Parham said. "Nothing stays the same."
At the Sports Authority on DeKalb Pike in King of Prussia, manager Keith Seitzer said the store did not have the jerseys, which are expected in by Wednesday.
Those who expressed an opinion to him seemed split by gender on the Vick issue, Seitzer said.
"The guys are pro, the girls are no. That's the way it seems to be," he said.

Glendale Pops subscribers probably don't know the name or music of 30-year-old Miles Mosley, a bassist and composer who headlines Saturday with the Glendale Pops Orchestra at the Alex Theatre. The pairing is a departure for a series more likely to feature artists with identifiable histories that make for a pleasant date night.
"I've always been a proponent of showcasing new talent," says Glendale Pops director Matt Catingub of the booking. "It's part of my mission to include this type of a showcase along with the things we did in our first season. As a pops organization, we have the freedom to explore many different musical angles."
Mosley is a rare combination of instrumental virtuoso and ensemble visionary who was classically trained on the contrabass at the Colburn School of Music. John Clayton, the bass giant who's equally proficient in classical and jazz, mentored him. Clayton is also a formidable composer/orchestrator and his influence on Mosley is incalculable.
"John treated me like a son," Mosley says, during a break from mixing his forthcoming "Roar" CD.
Dig into the personnel and musical credits for Christina Aguilera, Herbie Hancock, India Arie, Chris Cornell and Jason Mraz and you'll find Mosley's name. He composed, arranged, co-produced, and played on actor Terence Howard's "Shine Through It" CD. That debut effort bowed at No. 6 on the Billboard R&B;/Hip Hop chart.
Barbara Sealy's SB Music Management oversees the business aspects of Mosley's music. She had been responsible for bringing the activities of the Thelonious Monk Institute to the L.A. City Schools. Hamilton High, where Mosley attended, was one such school.
"Miles was one of a group of young musicians" at Hamilton, Sealy recalls. They were all more or less good, but there was something about what Miles played that stood out. You could just feel it; even though he hadn't been playing for very long."
She kept an eye on Mosley as he matured and, when he was ready, she knew she wanted to work with him. "He's a great bass player," she says, "but he's also an incredible writer and arranger. He gets hired to play for people like Lauryn Hill, Jonathan Davis of Korn, Mos Def and Common — and he ends up writing, arranging or being their musical directors."
Mosley has an arrangement of Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile" that he melded with Led Zeppelin's "Kasmir." Sealy notes, "The Hendrix organization hadn't granted permission to perform that tune in a long time, but they gave it to him. Whenever Miles plays it, he gets a big hand."
Hendrix is a personal touchstone for Mosley. "His love and passion were for jazz and blues," Mosley explains, "but he was thrust into rock music; to him it was all the same. A lot of the people I like had all these different things in their music: Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Sly and the Family Stone."
Mosley will bring his drummer Tony Austin to the Alex. "I'm rough on drummers," Mosley said. "Tony was a protégé of jazz drummer Billy Higgins, and his beat is always moving. I don't need a drummer to show me where 2 and 4 are — I can find that myself. I need somebody to help me pull this train."
Catingub, the gifted and empathetic arranger, enthuses: "Miles' music is definitely some of the most unique stuff I've had the pleasure of orchestrating. It's always great fun and it's a challenge to match his unique style with an orchestra."
If you're introduced to Mosley at the Alex, you're not likely to forget his name or his music.

We need the following as optional additions to hire you for after this project:
1) Is it possible to setup new Plesk control panel with existing WHMCS so we can have 2 options for our resellers
2) Recommendation and implementation of firewall for entire host network
3) Recommendation and implementation of DDoS protection ideas/implementation
4) Install and configure backup of entire network of servers, we are looking at R1Soft but open to multiple options
5) Not necessary for you if you are not a Windows person, but we want to offer Windows VPS and need recommendations on how to provide in addition to our existing OpenVZ/Xen/KVM platform.
6) Need help installing Game Servers to resale

Davidson Officer Assaulted After Confronting Inmate
MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - A Davidson County correctional officer is being treated for multiple facial fractures after an assault by an inmate.
KSFY television reports that Officer James Dietz was doing his rounds shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday when he discovered evidence of "fishing." The practice involves an inmate attaching an object to dental floss to toss it across to another inmate.
When Dietz confronted the inmate, the man attacked the officer, requiring two other officers to assist. One of the assisting officers used a Taser to subdue the man.
Dietz was transported to a local hospital.
The name of the prisoner, who is serving time for burglary and reckless burning, was not released.
Jail Administrator Don Radel says the jail hasn't had an intentional assault on an officer in about a decade.
