Too sad--Itzhak just can't swing
Oct. 28 2003
This review is from:
Side By Side (Audio CD)
Maybe if you don't much know about, or don't like, jazz you might like this album. Otherwise not.
Now, I love Perlman. I love Peterson. But this collaboration just doesn't work.
I can't say I wasn't suspicious even before hearing it. From time to time, classical musicians seem to feel the need to venture into some form of popular music, and nearly always it's a disaster. The idioms have such different styles and standards. Classical music's particular notions of precision, and of submerging the ego of the performer into the form of the work, rarely lend themselves to pop music.
And so it is here. Apparently someone told Perlman that in jazz you can bend notes and slide up to them instead of hitting them dead-on. That's fine. But someone should have explained that jazz has to swing--the time signature isn't a device to govern tempo so much as a pointer toward the rhythm that has to animate the music. That's to say, in jazz, the rhythm shows through. You play with it and around it, but you can't swing if you're unable to let the rhythm shine.
A few times Perlman almost gets into it. Overall, though, the classical insistence on a seamless performance hides the hard, jazz-essential bones of rhythm. He is altogether too precise--except, of couse, for sort of slurring notes sometimes. That's a poor imitation of the disciplined freedom essential to jazz.
Too sad.

This review is from:
Health and Suffering in America: The Context and Content of Mental Health Care (Paperback)
This is a reprint of my earlier book, "Cultures of Healing," with a new introduction. Here are excerpts from reviews for the earlier edition:
. . a landmark book . . . finely reasoned and far-ranging . . .
The Library Journal
These analyses are both thorough and penetrating. . . . The appendix, `Implications for Choosing or Changing a Therapist,' is superb and would make this book worthwhile in and of itself.
Richard Lamb, Professor of Psychiatry, USC,
in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical association)
It is hard to imagine an interested reader who would not want to argue furiously over one point or another. Nonetheless, it is equally hard to imagine the reader who wouldn't consider Mr. Fancher a worthy and engaging opponent.
The New York Times Book Review
. . . expert dissection of American psychiatry and psychotherapy . . . masterly analysis of the pretensions and paradoxes of the various schools of psychotherapy.
The New Scientist (U.K.)
. . . a stimulating and controversial book . . .
Anthony Storr in Nature
. . . combines innovation, insight, and usefulness . . .
Journal of Religion and Health
. . . a major step toward clarification of the persistent, murky and wide-ranging issues that bedevil psychotherapeutic theory and practice. . . . Highly recommended.
Jerome D. Frank, Professor of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins,
in The Journal of Nervous and Emotional Diseases
This book should be read and reflected on by all who have a serious interest in the present state of mental health care.
Elliot Valenstein, Professor of Neuroscience, University of Michigan

Useful but misleading
Oct. 5 2003
This review is from:
The Evolution Of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating (Paperback)
I teach evolutionary psychology in college, organizing my classes around the "logic of inquiry." I use this book to illustrate cross-cultural investigation, including the pragmatic difficulties of getting good data from massive studies. For that purpose, the book has its uses.
However, unless you are a critical, already-knowledgeable reader, this book may not be a good choice. The book exemplifies neither the state of the art nor a model of how to think soundly about the questions.
Buss's hypotheses tend to be very vague. Indeed, he often says things like, "Evolutionary psychology explains this constellation of traits," as if there were some one hypothesis held by all evolutionary psychologists. He rarely, if ever, presents alternative hypotheses from within evolutionary studies.
He presents little, if any, contradictory or complicating data, never shows what would be involved in falsifying his hypotheses, and never shows why his theory is better supported than others' views of evolution. You get no sense from this book of the vigorous, usually exciting debates on mating *within* evolutionary circles.
You get litle or no sense from this book that problems of sexual adaptivity do not occur alone. You would never know that for humans, copulation has less to do with reproduction than in nearly any other species-and that this complicates immensely understanding our evolved mating habits.
You would never know that across the animal kingdom problems of mate selection depend heavily on what we eat and how we attain it. You would never know that across the animal kingdom mating habits depend on social structure. You get no sense that evolutionary psychology must grapple with the difficult questions of how other essential-and extremely odd-characteristics of human life set limits or biases on mating. In general, you would think from reading Buss that mating has exclusively to do with reproduction or survival of offspring.
Indeed, if the logic of Buss's inquiry were correct, there would be no reason for species to differ sexually. He presents his arguments as if human mating patterns follow directly from the differential investments of males and females. But that difference exists in all species! Why, then, do species differ so? Buss doesn't even let you know (if he has even recognized) that this is a fundamental question.
You would never know from reading Buss the commonplace that motivation need not resemble function. That is, a behavior (or traits) may be pursued for motives that have nothing to do with why it is reproductively advantageous. For purpose of natural selection, why an organism prefers a behavior is of no moment. Though he obviously knows this, and mentions it in passing a couple of places, he writes as if the function were the cause of the behavior. In many, if not most, cases, we are caused to do something for reasons-e.g., how much fun it is-that have nothing to do with why it is naturally selected. This complicates understanding what's selected and why--especially since motivational systems have evolutionary and cultural histories of their own.
As others have noted, Buss's original work relies altogether too heavily on self-reports and "what if" questionnaires.
Now, we know fairly well (though Buss never tells you) that self-reports tend to reflect both cultural norms and a bias toward presenting one's self favorably (even, oddly enough, in anonymous questionnaires.) We can improve and cross-check self-reports, but the methods are cumbersome (requiring a great deal of time with each subject, generating massive amounts of data, and requiring extremely powerful statistical analyses) and expensive. This book gives little evidence that much of Buss's data has been appropriately cross-checked. And in fact, other researchers have shown that even with some of the same populations as Buss studied, more extensive testing shows results very different from Buss's.
However, we cannot cross-check answers to hypotheticals! For instance, a question like, "How many sexual partners would you have in the next year, if you could?" cannot possibly be checked for accuracy.
However, you can do things like correlating answers to that question with other variables. But it is not at all clear that Buss, suffering from a very simple-minded theory to guide his research, has tested for and analyzed the right variables. For instance, some researchers have shown that men suffering ambivalence and anxiety about sex tend to offer inflated numbers on questions like that-and that when data is analyzed controlling for psychopathology, men and women differ on the question far less than Buss claims.
Similarly, you'd never know from Buss the difficulties of identifying which of our traits are selected, and whether they are naturally or sexually selected. Generally, you need to know what to explain before you start explaining it.
Buss's writing style misleads, too. Though he does not overtly misrepresent his data, he places far more emphasis on ways that men and women disagree than agree, even though in fact his data show that the range of agreement vastly exceeds disagreement-and remains equally stable over time.
Generally, I think this book reflects more energy and ambition than insight and imagination. Buss's data matter, precisely because they cover so many subjects in so many locations. But the book also shows the danger of collecting massive amounts of data without an adequate theory to guide what you study.
The reason I structure my classes as I do is that, in fact, nobody knows yet just which elements of human life are accurately explained as naturally selected (or why or when), sexually selected (or why or when), cultural, geographical, and so forth. I emphasize to my students that these questions matter deeply (and why), that we know the standard social science model to be false, and that we are just beginning to develop a reliable science of human evolution. I want my students to be able to participate in the emerging inquiries, to know how to think correctly about data and about alternate candidates to explain the data.
To read Buss, you would think my design is all wrong-you'd think that the data are great, the answers are settled for all but the muddle-headed and stubborn, and that there are no alternative explanations. And if, having read Buss, you thought those things, you would be wrong.
That's another reason I use this book. It shows how much of what passes for truth needs much more scrutiny, proving my point that understanding the logic of inquiry matters most.
Good Sex (PB)
by Raymond A Belliotti

More earnest than wise, more well-intended than informative
Oct. 1 2003
This review is from:
Good Sex (PB) (Paperback)
Balanced, comprehensive attempts to understand sexual ethics seem to be pretty rare--in seeking material to use in teaching an advanced ethics class, I've had difficulty finding non-polemical, judicious writings to assign. Since Belliotti wrote a couple of nice, widely-reprinted essays, I thought this book might provide what I sought.
But what a disappointment! Though Belliotti takes a wider view than most and evolves a framework nicely balanced as far as it goes, the apparent incomprehension pervading the book will discredit it with well-informed readers.
Belliotti presents much of his argument in his adverbs--and that means he doesn't bother to argue for them in a logical, evidence-based way. For instance, he tells us that Greek culture "unnecessarily and unwisely" created a "war between mind and body." He offers the reader no account of why the Greeks in question thought their dualism both wise and necessary, though, so he offers no reason to believe them wrong. Dualism *is* mistaken, but it's not clear Belliottti knows why. If he even understands the weighty and careful considerations behind Greek dualism, he does not let the reader in on them.
Similarly, Belliotti shows, shall we say, a less-than-encyclopedic knowledge of the extensive science of sexuality! Indeed, for a fellow who claims that he had to write a book to embrace the whole of his thinking, Belliotti seems remarkably poorly informed about (a) the history and science of sexuality and (b) how natural facts about sexuality have related to culture's efforts to give viable form to sexual life.
To read this book, you'd think that bad ideas and poor social structure, not real, practically problematic proclivities of sexual creatures, create ethical difficulties. (This may also betray one reason that Belliotti shows no grasp of dualism. Our bodies and their ineradicable passions cause far more ethical quandaries for far more people than all the ideas of all the philosophers in history put together.)
While the bearing of science on ethics is complicated, you would think Belliotti might have bothered to understand the real forces behind various moral inclinations. Any realistic ethics must be informed by the discernable facts about the area of behavior upon which it presumes to advise! But he doesn't even try. For instance, he says that he "suspect[s]" that a "thorough canvassing of anthropological and sociological literature" would show societies in which sex is no different from any commodity exchange. No need to "suspect"--if he cared, he could look. (By the way, his suspicion is just wrong. There are no such known societies.)
Toward the end of the book, Belliotti either gets lazy or unimaginative. At several points, he tells us this or that ethical view is unacceptable because "we could imagine a situation in which" harm was done. But he doesn't bother to present us with such situations. This seems to me words masquerading as thoughts. In several instances, neither my students nor I could come up with situations he tells us we could imagine.
It should be noted, too, that the writing--though grammatically and structurally correct--is just awful. Amateurish, leaden, ponderous, without color or snap. Such dull writing about such an incendiary subject presents a curious paradox.
All that being said, it's a shame that this book isn't any better. Belliotti seems to aim at balanced judgment, and he does better than most at considering many different perspectives. I think his conclusions largely correct, and students and others could do far worse than letting his "five tier" framework inform their ethical thinking.
Belliotti should have hired a good collaborator. He might, then, have produced a work of major influence.
I ended up adopting this book as a textbook for my class, simply because I couldn't find anything more suitable. I won't do it again, though.
I had assumed that since I would fill in the important things that Belliotti left out, I could use this book profitably. But my students found the book so laughably pompous, ponderous, and priggish (though apparently the author has some self-image at odds with the manifest psychology of his writing voice), that I am just embarrassed to have chosen it.
The Third Chimpanzee : The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal

Halfway best

This review is from:
The Third Chimpanzee : The Evolution and Future of the Human Animal (Paperback)
Since I teach evolutionary psychology in college, I try to keep up with "popular" expositions of human evolution--both because my (better) students will have read them and because some of them make for good teaching tools. The first ten chapters of this book rank, in my opinion, as probably the best single account of what we really do and do not know about human evolution.
In these first ten chapters, Diamond gives us dispassionate surveys of dominant theories and available evidence. Here, it's not unusual for him to say something like, Here are the six dominant theories, here is the evidence that shows why four of them don't deserve serious consideation anymore in spite of their emotional or political appeal, and here are the relative scientific merits of the remainder. In an arena beset by vicious ad hominem attacks and passionate ideological presentations of unproven theories, Diamond--in these first ten chapters--offers the student more concerned with truth than ideology a lovely account.
Among the important points he makes in these first ten chapters: Our genetic propensities toward cooperation, care for no-longer-procreative elders, and (in the case of women) outliving reproductive capacity set the stage for the evolution of the human brain. Genes may be "selfish," but our genes' inclining us toward non-egoistic ways of life lie at the foundation of being human at all. This is a crucial point, consistent with the ethical views and habits of all civilizations other than those that foster "social Darwinism." That our humanity depends on the falsity of "social Darwinism" cannot be emphasized too greatly. Science supports the kind of other-oriented, community concern that all ethics, through all of human history--unlike allegedly "enlightened" egoism--codifies. (See also the wonderful anthology, "The Evolutionary Origins of Morality," LeonardD. Katz, editor.)
Beginning in chapter eleven, the book becomes progressively more speculative, more of a presentation of Diamond's own theories, some about things outside his area of professional expertise--e.g., the effects of continental differences in flora, fauna, and climate on differential developments of civilizations. Here, we lose the critical comparative attitude of the first ten chapters. If you think carefully, you finish each of these latter chapters with a lot of, "Yes, but . . . " questions. Thus, in the first ten chapters, you rightly come away with confidence that you've acquired a fair understanding of the state-of-the-art in evolutionary studies. In the latter chapters, that simply isn't so.
I agree with most of the political and ideological principles underlying Diamnod's speculations, and I appreciate that--unlike many leading "lights" in studies of human evolution--he never resorts to name calling and acting as if those who differ are nefarious fools. But I wish he'd either stopped writing after ten chapters, or made the latter chapters more like the first ten. Each of these latter chapters is intelligent and interesting, and each deserves further condieration; but Diamnond's shift in standards of assessment and style of presentation makes the second half of the book far less authoritative, and therefore makes the book as a whole something one can less enthusiastically recommend--or use in teaching.

I didn't know Carmen was blue
Aug. 25 2003
This review is from:
Carmen McRae Live [Import] (DVD)
I don't mean "blue" as in sad. I mean that, if this video is to be believed, she has blue skin. Well, sometimes blue, sometimes other weird colors, some never found in nature. That is to say, the fidelity of this video leaves much to be desired. Very, very bad.
Similarly, the sound quality of the recording itself. This is simple stereo--no remastering for Dolby--and nothing especially great as stereo recording goes.
So far as the performance goes, that she flubs the first line of the first song--a song she's surely sung a thousand times--speaks of things to come. This is not an inspired, or even highly engaged, performance. She is in good voice, but she seems distant a fair amount of the time, and often rather wooden. At times, she seems to be phoning it in. Rarely does her true charisma show through.
I found this DVD a great disappointment. I dearly love Carmen McRae--I have more than a dozen of her albums, and one of the most memorable nights of my life included seeing her live at the Blue Note nearly twenty years ago. But this DVD portrays her badly.
I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this. I can't imagine bothering to watch it again.

Norah Jones: Live in New Orleans (DVD)
I liked Norah Jones' CD okay, though I thought a number of tracks were weak. I hadn't jumped on the bandwagon, but I have more enthusiasm for her after seeing this DVD, for a simple reason: it makes clear that she's about the music, not about being a "star."
I don't really understand people complaining about her lack of chit chat or her lack of playing to the crowd. I've never heard Bob Dylan or Isaac Stern do a lot of talky-talk in live performance, and neither gets by on personal charisma. (If I want talky-talk, I'll go see a stand-up comic.) Jones joins that tiny group of popular musicians whose concern is mainly music--and in this, she is extraordinary. Her voice, of course, is quite good--but what sets her apart is her inventive, arresting musicianship, which is first rate.
The Dolby 5.1 adds nice dimension.
I thought the drummer was uneven in his playing--very good on up-tempo, but inconsistent on some of the more intimate pieces. The guitarist is quite good, but sometimes sloppy. The bass player didn't miss a lick.
Whether Norah Jones develops into a major presence, or becomes someone who just does the same thing over and over every couple of years remains to be seen. But this debut DVD deserves a wide audience.

This review is from:
Norah Jones: Live in New Orleans (DVD)
I liked Norah Jones' CD okay, though I thought the understated sultriness a bit studied, even at times affected. I found myself wondering what she'd sound like if her producer didn't have so much influence.
I hadn't jumped on the bandwagon, then--but I have considerably more enthusiasm for her after seeing this DVD, for a simple reason: it makes clear that she's about the music, not about being a "star." Her performances seem considerably more robust, to me, filled with a more believable personality, than on the over-produced CD. If you pay attention to the performances, rather than looking for a lot of non-musical "engagement" with the audience, I believe you'll get a very clear sense of this artist, as distinct from her studio technicians.
I don't really understand people complaining about her lack of chit chat or her lack of playing to the crowd. I've never heard Bob Dylan or Isaac Stern do a lot of talky-talk in live performance, and neither gets by on personal charisma. (If I want talky-talk, I'll go see a stand-up comic.) Jones joins that tiny group of popular musicians whose concern is mainly music--and in this, she is extraordinary. Her voice, of course, is quite original and very good--but what sets her apart is her inventive, arresting musicianship. Her piano chord voicings are extremely sophisticated--not showy, but exquisite, more like Bill Evans, say, than your local lounge player with fast fingers. I believe it was Monk who said that the secret is knowing which notes not to play--and Norah Jones has already mastered that subtlety.
As for the DVD versus the CD: Besides the more natural, less produced performances, the Dolby 5.1 adds nice dimension. The Artist comes across more as an extremely talented kid a bit befuddled by her success than as the late-adolescent chanteuse of the CD.
I thought the drummer was uneven in his playing--very good on up-tempo, but inconsistent on some of the more intimate pieces. I agree with an earlier reviewer than the drum kit is badly miked, but I think the problems are other than that. This ensemble plays more like a jazz quartet than a rock group, and it was not clear to me that the drummer wouldn't be more at home in the latter.
The guitarist is quite good, and he and the artist played off each other very well, but he was sometimes sloppy.
The bass player didn't miss a lick, and seemed to me the foundation of the group.
Whether Norah Jones develops into a major presence, or becomes someone who--like Sade, say-- just does the same thing over and over every couple of years remains to be seen. But this debut DVD deserves a wide audience.
The Evolutionists: The Struggle for Darwin's Soul

Extraordinary overview
Aug. 1 2003
This review is from:
The Evolutionists: The Struggle for Darwin's Soul (Paperback)
I recommend this book as background reading for my evolutionary psychology students, since so many of them--like most people, even the well educated--have no idea of what is really going on in research on evolution. I don't think students--or anyone else--should be talking about evolutionary psychology unless they understand the state-of-the-art in the sciences of evolution.
Outside of science, people seem to think the "big question" is whether evolution is a fact. The cognoscenti pride themselves on knowing that it is, looking down upon religious fideists of various sorts who claim otherwise. And vice versa.
Within science, though, that question does not even appear. That evolution is a set of facts to be explained, not a hypothesis up for grabs, was settled within science a century ago.
For real scientists, the real debates--the real efforts to understand reality--take place over very different questions, and the various research programs differ very significantly. This book is a nice overview of some of the leading issues.
If you are under the illusion that the debate is about whether evolution takes place, you will find this book kind of ho-hum. But thinking that makes about as much sense as being ho-hum about Newton vs. Einstein. That would be like thinking, "Newton and Einstein didn't disagree on whether gravity exists, so this is just infighting among people who differ only in emphasis."
In fact, Newton v. Einstein matters a great deal--as do the controversies explained in this book. Just as Einstein's discoveries made possible many developments we would never even have been able to conceive within Newtonian physics, so the eventual truths uncovered by the various competing research programs in evolution will determine a great deal about our ability to understand and shape our lives.
Scientists, of course, are human, and they can want for themselves all sorts of things besides scientific truth, including fame, influence, and the financial rewards of being popular celebrities. (Science journals do not pay for articles. Pop venues do. Science books rarely make much money. Lots of pop writing on science does.) Sadly, too many of the scientists, when they turn to writing for popular audiences, grossly misrepresent science, and they sometimes just get mean. Within the popular press--even the highly respectable sanctums of the intelligentsia, like The New York Review of Books--writers need not meet elementary rules of scientific writing. Routinely, they don't. They exaggerate their own claims, minimize the evidence for the claims of others, and claim to have proven grand things that every real scientist in the world knows they haven't--and that they don't even claim themselves in their scientific writing! And they do not necessarily play fair with their opponents. In the evolution debates, they have basically reduced themselves to insulting each others mothers.
Richard Morris does a nice job of avoiding such scientifically useless vituperation, helping us see where the real issues lie and what makes each possibility promising.
Of course, anyone who wants can complain about Morris's principles of selection. Personally, I wish he had not overlooked increased scientific interest in sexual selection, especially since there is evidence to show that the leading way of reconciling it with natural selection is less than clearly true. But that's really neither here nor thre. The important thing is that he has made clear what real research within science is about.
If you are a lay person who wants a fair overview of current issues involved in our efforts to understand human life, this is a very helpful accomplishment.
If, though, you have no interest in understanding how life works, just an interest in priding yourself on already accepting evolution, you will find this book boring.
Evolutionary thinking promises to open exhilirating new vistas on our lives. The new areas of research it has opened even in the last twenty years--which are certainly decades away from yielding conclusive results--give us the chance to understand ourselves and our world as never before. For those sciences to do their work, though, they need for all of us to understand why they matter, what they may accomplkish, and what they haven't yet achieved. They need that so we support them and make their work possible.
That being said, it follows that Morris has made a contribution to the future of our species--insofar as this book helps people see beyond the cant and mutual ill-will that fills public debate, to understand that evolution is a set of sciences, not a settled body of knowledge, from which we can eventually learn immense amounts.
Conditions Of Love: The Philosophy Of Intimacy

Remarkably wise
July 24 2003
This review is from:
Conditions Of Love: The Philosophy Of Intimacy (Hardcover)
The critic from "Publishers Weekly" quoted above must have been having a bad day when he or she read this book. Generally, that review manages to miss the point. Armstrong doesn't "critique" Socrates or Stendahl, etc.; he uses them to interrogate our experience of love and finds the kernel of truth they each captured, while also synthesizing these (and many other) perspectives into a coherent picture. There is nothing murky here, and certainly no failure to think through the positions. I'm a pretty fierce critic myself, and the clarity and coherence of this book seem to me to pass muster.
I picked this up while canvassing possible resources for my students in an advanced applied ethics course, hoping it would help with a section on sexuality. For that, it isn't to the point-that's not really the topic of the book. But I'm glad I found it, and I'll be recommending it to students and friends alike as a source of wisdom about love.
The question Armstrong sets himself is, What makes it possible for people to love each other, over the long haul, in satisfying ways? "Falling in love" rarely lasts, as we all know-the heat of early romance fades when faced with broader realities. Armstrong points out that modeling love on this transient incandescence means we simply cannot understand how to love-when we try to see enduring love as some sort of dilute form of romantic intoxication, we are trying to make it something it is not.
I don't know of another book that casts such a broad net in considering love. Armstrong understands, as almost no contemporary psychologists or therapists do, the history of human efforts to understand love. Thus, he includes in his thinking experiences, problems, and insights that escape the blinkered views of contemporary ideologies. A fair number of Greeks, for instance, had some interesting thoughts about love and its place in individual lives and in human relationships. As I've already mentioned, Armstrong sets these many experiences and insights side-by-side, uses them to interrogate our experience, and takes from each some guidance on his question. He thus unites his broad understanding of our history with contemporary psychology and sociobiology to produce a remarkably complex, nuanced account.
Yet the writing is clear, simple, and engaging. To synthesize so much diverse, often-subtle material into a complex and sophisticated account, then to write in a style that seems effortless-quite an accomplishment.
This could have been called "Love's Little Instruction Book for the Highly Intelligent." Devoid of smarm, rich in compassion, and informed by the best that has been thought or said on the subject across human history-well, it won't be jumping off the racks of the check-out line a Wally World, but it ought to have a honored place on the shelves of every well-educated person.

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A nighttime clash that killed two U.S. soldiers and at least one Iraqi in a teeming Shiite Muslim slum raised tensions Friday between the American occupation force and the country's religious majority.
The Americans said their troops were lured into an ambush, but the Shiites maintained that U.S. soldiers opened fire first when they approached radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's headquarters in the Sadr City slum.
The clash late Thursday, which wounded at least seven Iraqis and two U.S. soldiers, drew an angry reaction from Iraq's Shiites. That could mean trouble for coalition forces, because the Shiite population in Iraq has shown patience with the American occupation so far, evidently feeling it had much to win from cooperating.
A clash with Shiites could open a second front for troops already facing regular attacks in the Sunni heartland of central Iraq where Saddam Hussein drew his greatest support. Still, al-Sadr has very little support among the mainstream Shiite clerical leadership.
The bloodshed came just 12 hours after a mysterious car bombing killed 10 people at a nearby police station in Sadr City, where al-Sadr has taken a stand against the U.S. military occupation and deployed his own armed force.
Sheik Abdel-Hadi al-Daraji, an al-Sadr aide, claimed the Americans were approaching al-Sadr's headquarters and opened fire first in the Thursday night attack.
He accused the Americans of trying to drive a wedge between Shiites and Sunnis, and claimed the U.S.-led coalition was responsible for "manufacturing crises and trying to create havoc." But he stopped short of calling on Shiites to take up arms against the Americans.
The U.S. military said a 1st Armored Division squad riding in three Humvees was ambushed at about 8 p.m. Thursday while on routine patrol in the slum. U.S. Army spokesman Lt. Co. George Krivo had no comment about the claim that the U.S. soldiers had approached al-Sadr's headquarters.
"A group of people, civilians, met with U.S. forces and said, 'Please come in, we need to show you something important,'" Krivo said. When the soldiers left their vehicles and followed the Iraqis, they came under small arms and rocket-propelled grenade fire, he said. Homemade bombs were also detonated.
An Army quick reaction force helped extricate the patrol, Krivo said. He would not go into detail about what happened next, but suggested the encounter lasted two hours and that he "would not characterize (it) as a raid."

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add?
Over the last few years, several observational studies examined the association of statin use with the risk of biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after definitive local therapy. The objective of our present study was to summarise available evidence on this subject using the method of meta-analysis.
Combined evidence from eight cohort studies did not definitively support the hypothesis that statins influence the risk of biochemical recurrence. However, there was considerable disagreement between individual studies in reported findings and conclusions.
- • To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical studies with statin use as the exposure variable and biochemical recurrence after definitive local therapy for prostate cancer as the outcome.
- • Relevant publications were identified through PubMed/Medline/Embase databases.
- • Pooled estimates of the hazard ratios (HRs) were computed using the inverse-variance weighting approach.
- • Heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochran's Q test.
- • We identified a total of eight eligible studies, all based on the retrospective cohort design. Five of these were based on radical prostatectomy (RP) series and three on radiotherapy (RT) series.
- • There was evidence of heterogeneity in the entire set of eight studies (P= 0.002) as well as in the RP series (P= 0.05) and in the RT series (P= 0.01), when these were considered separately.
- • Based on the random effects inverse-variance weighting approach, pooled estimates of the HRs for the risk of biochemical recurrence in statin users v non-users were 0.91 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72–1.13) for the entire set of eight studies, 1.02 (95% CI 0.80–1.29) for the RP series and 0.71 (95% CI 0.44–1.16) for the RT series.
- • The pooled estimates of the HRs were not significantly different from the null value in this meta-analysis; however, evidence of heterogeneity between the studies was present.

An accommodation beneath contempt . Dirty , leaky shower stall , broken lamps and contacts that did not work . Wifi only worked if you sat out in the yard . We had ants in the kitchen and bathroom.
Fee for cleaning, towels and sheets.
To pay for cleaning when the apartment was so dirty known very irritant . Smaller service oriented staff made it known not worthwhile to go and complain. Would never recommend this accommodation !
Very nice, pieceful and relaxing house.
We really enjoyed the large rooms and terasses outdoor. It is great to have realy furniture inside and outside.
The house is big and especially with a great view but:
- There're no curtains or shutters on the windows
- The sheets are minimal (and not optional)
- The house was quite dirty despite the payment for the cleaning
- The manager of the property accused me to stole one (1) pillowcase the day after we left. The pillowcase has been obviously found after a while, it was left behind during the collecting.
I've enjoyed my stay in Stintino for the sea, the nature, the landscape, but, for a short stay of 4 days, too many thing that didn't work out with the house.
Nice place and great pool. BUT too expensive! Bad kitchenequipments. Expensive sheets and towels. Not value with the money!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for 6 nights and it was absolutely wonderful! Exactly what you see in pictures, except there isn't actually a balcony. Just a glass door with railings right behind it. The area was by far our favourite in Barcelona. Truly unique and enjoyable to just walk around at any time of the day. The stairs are a frightening first impression, 57 in a small spiral staircase, but still definitely worth the mission. But yes, pack light!
Thank you Maria for your kind hospitality, suggestions and being readily available for anything we needed.
I definitely recommend :)
Very disappointed at the standard of the apartment and the arrival and departure procedure! This apartment was let through Wimdu by Interhome. I will never book anything let by Interhome again. Having made the booking and paid for it we were totally unaware until one week before departure that bed linen and towels were not included and an extra charge was levied (Euro 28 for sheets and 12 for towels). When I challenged Interhome on non disclosure of information they told me it was in the small print: having trawled though every last word I found it in tiny print under Cancellation Policy! Again I challenged Interhome about deliberately placing this important piece of information where nobody will think to look. It should be clearly displayed on the webpage under Amenities where a note can be posted in the relevant area for all to see.
Arrival procedure - what a nonsense. Having paid for the sheets you have to collect them in person from the office. We made it by the skin of our teeth before the office closed for the weekend. Because our flight was delayed we arrived in Chamonix later than expected and had the office been closed we would have had no sheets at all! They are bulky to carry and I have photos of my husband looking like Santa Clause with a big white sack over his shoulder. It's the height of nonsense to expect arrivals to lug luggage and carry this bulky bad around Chamonix. On departure we had to return the sheets to the office again in said bag!
End cleaning - the previous tenant had presumably paid therefore we expected a clean apartment. The hard surfaces were clean but the living room carpet was disgusting with stains and grime and dirty black marks (photographed). It needs either professionally deep cleaned or dumped. Personally I would replace it. My bed sheet had a dirty brown mark on it (photographed) and the "white" patio furniture was grey with grime. I don't think it had been cleaned in years. Before I would set as much as a mug on it I scrubbed it with the dish scrubber (which I then couldn't use on the dishes!). Again we have photographic evidence. The best feature of the apartment is the wonderful view of Mont Blanc from the balcony. I don't know who is employed to clean this apartment but they could do with a lesson or two. I will never use Interhome again and I recommend that you steer clear of it too. I've used Wimdu many times and always been satisfied but not on this occasion.
Nice clean well equipped apartment. Very friendly hoists. Would recommend to all my friends.
The Oasis is a wonderful and great accomodation. The house is surrounded by Lemon trees and offers a great view to the sea. It is well equipped, clean and very comfortable for Groups/families up to ten. Highly recommanded.
The place shown on the pictures has an open swimming pool. However if you 're in to reading all the small letters in the massive paper work of Inter Home you Will Read That the pool is open from the 15th of June. What à dissapointment for my daughter. Furthermore we had to pay for the bedlinen on top of the cleaning which was counted pro person. And of course because it was cold we had to pay for the heating although in the living room was no heating system, only in the bath and bedroom. The owners were. Ice although when people arrive in the middle of the night due to their flight it would be nice if there would be something to drink. The garden is large and nice decorated so I think in summer when the pool is open it will be a paradise. For myself I think it is deceive that Wimdu puts this booking through a link connecting to another website. In this way you pay a lot more and you don,'t get what is shown on the pictures. I will never book in this manner again because in the end you pay a lot more.
Wonderful place with great hosts. The apartment is spacious and very clean, the beds are big and comfortable, the kitchen is very well equipped and the balcony offers a superb view of Eiger. We will certainly come back again.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - A state official has identified the two Florida officers shot and killed in an intense gunfight with a fugitive hiding in his attic.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement that officers Tom
Baitinger and Jeffrey Yaslowitz were killed Monday when law
enforcement agents tried to arrest 39-year-old Hydra Lacy Jr. on an
aggravated battery charge.
Police believe Lacy opened fire on the agents. Lacy was later found dead in the home following an hours-long standoff that began
around 7 a.m.
Also injured was a U.S. marshal. His name has not been released.
He was hospitalized in stable condition.
Lacy had a long and violent criminal record including a sexual battery conviction. Court records show Lacy missed his Nov. 1 battery trial.

For deeper values use also [3], [4]. Inside LyX you will still see the 1. If you want to change this too, then you'll have to rewrite your LyX layout file.

If you don't want the change to occur globally, then add this code right before the enumeration (and resotre right after, if needed).

From Our Editors
Instead of going to daycare when she was a little girl, Tatyana went to cosmetology school. Technically, her mother was enrolled in the classes, but Tatyana would tag along, thus beginning her first courses in her informal beauty education. Since then, her knowledge has only grown, what with working at a college of beauty, helping helm operations at a Beverly Hills skincare line, and continuing to learn through regular classes, world travel, and brain osmosis.
During her career in the industry, Tatyana has kept a philosophy that fuses Western technology with Eastern philosophy. It's a credo that views the spa not as a luxury but as a way of life, a preventive therapy meant to inspire an embrace of health. At her spa, Tatyana nurtures this idea with skincare services such as microdermabrasion and peels, body treatments such as sugar and salt polishing, and facial treatments that cleanse and exfoliate the skin that no longer serves you. Éminence Organics skincare products, Jane Iredale makeup, and other premium products line the spa's shelves, waiting patiently for a loving home.

The Observational Equivalence of Taylor Rule and Taylor-Type Rules
In the past few years the view has commonly been expressed that central banks follow `Taylor Rules' (as first promulgated by Henderson and McKibbin (1993)). We show that the appearance of such an interest rate rule – a 'pseudo-Taylor rule' – can be created by a standard macro model in which actually a money supply rule is operating with no interest rate feedback – i.e, where there is in fact no Taylor rule operating at all. Hence an interest equation does not identify a (structural) Taylor rule; a Taylor rule and a pseudo-rule, though corresponding to different structural models, are 'observationally equivalent' to use the expression coined by Thomas Sargent (1976). It remains an open question whether Taylor rules or money supply rules are appropriate from a welfare viewpoint.

text: Posted November 3, 2012 I'd take him as a DC, but no way he would take that demotion. Some guys are good coordinators, but just aren't meant to be head coaches. I think Rivera and Chud fit that mold, although Chud isn't looking great as a play caller this year. Fired coaches frequently take demotions when they move to other teams. It would be either be that, or he'd be retained. I can't recall a head coach ever just getting demoted within his current organization. Sometimes coaches lower in the hierarchy are retained or promoted, but head coaches never get to stay if they lose the top job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ARLINGTON, TX - OCTOBER 25: Quarterback Tony Romo #9 of the Dallas Cowboys leaves the game after a left shoulder injury in the second quarter against the New York Giants at Cowboys Stadium on October 25, 2010 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has been placed on season-ending injured reserve.
The team announced the move Tuesday. Romo broke his left
collarbone Oct. 25 and hasn't played since.
The Cowboys play Saturday night at Arizona and will likely start
Jon Kitna, who has gone 4-4 in place of Romo. Dallas has only have
two games left and can't make the playoffs.
Owner Jerry Jones had hoped Romo could return from the broken
bone on his non-throwing side.

ESP Guitars - one of the "Big 3" when it comes to making guitars & basses for Rock & Metal players. ESP guitars are available in two basic series - ESP & LTD. If it has ESP on the headstock then the guitar has been hand crafted in the ESP Japanese workshop. The quality of these ESP guitars is exceptional - they even have a custom shop that can custom make you anything you want! If the guitar has LTD on the headstock then these are made in other Far Eastern factories (normally Korea). These LTD guitars are made in larger quantities using an assembly line process - the quality is still great & the value for money is amazing.
Over the last 30 years ESP has attracted 100's of the worlds best known guitarists & bass players. The full artist list is massive (if you want to read it go here http://www.espguitars.com/artists.html), but here are a few of the guys that have their own ESP custom made models.

Mr A Harrison | Purchase date: 15 January 2010
Features: 7 String, Thin Neck, Light Body, EMG's not a lot to grumble about perfect combination for metal.
Sound: As you would expect from any ESP / LTD product very good, the EMG's love distortion and sound brilliant, pinch harmonics are very easy to achieve with the hardware and sustain is excellent.
Action, Fit & Finish: Action was near perfect from store, only adjusted a small amount for my preference, jet black finish looks good, and has a nice feel to it cant complain.
Reliability & Durability: Built like a house, a quality feel and ive never had a problem with other ESP / LTD products, i can see this lasting a long time.
Impression: Overall a great purchase, and the price was right for such a good quality instrument, if you love metal and hate adjusting truss rods and messing around with different string gauges to get a fat metal sound this is a good solution, its solved the sound i was struggling to achieve with a 6 string, plays well and sounds well if you have the money its a well recommended purchase .

Echo Therapeutics, Inc. engages in the development of transdermal skin permeation and diagnostic medical devices and specialty pharmaceutical drugs. Products Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) The company's major product is a non-invasive (needle-free), wireless, CGM system designed to provide real-time glucose data continuously. The CGM System includes a skin preparation device, transdermal glucose sensor and wireless transmitter. The transdermal skin preparation component of the system has been developed to be a device to improve access to the interstitial fluids and improve the flow of molecules across the protective membrane of the stratum corneum. The skin preparation device incorporates the company's patented micro-abrasion technology into a hand-held device used to prepare a small area of the skin. The non-invasive sensor is applied to this prepared area to measure the interstitial glucose levels. The key feature of the company's skin preparation device is its patented feedback mechanism, which allows the company to achieve optimal skin preparation for its transdermal sensing technologies. The device's proprietary, patented feedback control mechanism consists of software, a microprocessor controlled circuit and measuring electrodes. After the skin is prepared, the electro-chemical glucose sensor is placed on the prepared site. The glucose sensor uses glucose oxidase to generate a continuous current that is proportional to the concentration of blood glucose in the vessels beneath the epidermis. Glucose data is then wirelessly transmitted in numerical and/or graphical form every minute to any remote device. Drug Delivery The company's skin preparation device might also have application in the transdermal drug delivery market in addition to markets for other treatments. The localized removal of the stratum corneum created by the device might potentially provide a skin permeation process for the delivery of various topical pharmaceuticals and to facilitate other applications. Specialty Pharmaceutical Products The company's transdermal drug reformulation platform, AzoneTS, is a penetration improver at low concentration levels. AzoneTS has the potential to expand the number of drugs that could be delivered transdermally in various therapeutic categories. The company's most advanced drug candidate is Durhalieve, an AzoneTS formulation of triamcinolone acetonide, a medium potency corticosteroid approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses. Durhalieve has completed Phase 3 clinical trials, and to obtain FDA approval, the company must satisfy certain clinical and manufacturing development requirements outlined by the FDA when they last reviewed the Durhalieve New Drug Application. Additionally, the company has modestly advanced the development programs for early stage AzoneTS reformulation drug candidates, including methotrexate-AzoneTS (MAZ). The company holds Investigational New Drug Applications for MAZ formulations for the treatment of psoriasis and mycoses fungoides, and has completed Phase 2 clinical studies of MAZ for the treatment of early-stage mycoses fungoides. In addition, the company has made annual and other applicable regulatory filings necessary to maintain the active status of the Azone Drug Master File, the Durhalieve and MAZ Investigational New Drug applications and the MAZ Orphan Drug application with the FDA. Partnerships Ferndale Pharma Group, Inc. (Ferndale) The company has a licensing agreement with Ferndale, a group of companies that specialize in the development, manufacture, distribution and marketing of various dermatologic products. Under the terms of the agreement, the company granted Ferndale the right to develop, market, sell and distribute the company's skin preparation device for skin preparation prior to the application of topical anesthetics or analgesics prior to a range of needle-based medical procedures. In addition to the original territory of North America and the United Kingdom, the license agreement was amended in 2012 to cover South America, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland and portion of the European Community. This partnership allows the company's skin permeation technology platform to be combined with Ferndale's leadership in the topical anesthetic market. Handok, Inc. The company has a license agreement with Handok Inc., a pharmaceutical/healthcare company in Korea with a core business focus in diabetes, cardiovascular, oncology, human vaccines, medical devices, diagnostics and consumer health. Under the terms of the agreement, the company granted Handok, Inc. the right to develop, market, sell and distribute the company's CGM to medical facilities and individuals in South Korea. Medical Technologies Innovation Asia, Ltd. (MTIA) The company has a license, development and commercialization agreement (the 'MTIA License') with MTIA. Pursuant to the MTIA License, the company granted MTIA rights to exclusively research, develop, manufacture, and use the company's CGM in connection with the development activities needed for regulatory approval in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan; and exclusively make, have made, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale and import the company's CGM in the Territory once regulatory approval has been received. Intellectual Property The company owns or has rights to various copyrights, trademarks and trade names used in its business, including Symphony CGM System, Symphony and Prelude SkinPrep System, Azone, AzoneTS, and Durhalieve. As of April 2, 2015, the company had 9 issued U.S. patents and approximately 70 issued foreign patents, and had approximately 25 patent applications pending worldwide. The company's pharmaceutical patents begin expiring in 2019 and medical device patents begin expiring in 2025. Research and Development The company's R&D expenses were approximately $4,962,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014. History Echo Therapeutics, Inc. was founded in 1989.

Ex corde ecclesiae will go into effect as church law for the United States on May 3, 2001. For most commentators, the fundamental issue concerning the implementation of Ex corde is the conflict between the ideals and practices of American higher education, as these have emerged in a liberal, secular society, and the ideals and practices informing a distinctively Catholic tradition of learning. Those who criticize Ex corde, especially its requirement that theologians obtain a mandate from the local bishop, do so on the ground that it will lead to violations of academic freedom, or that it will destroy the credibility of Catholic higher education in this country. Those who defend it reply that Catholic universities should be governed by a different set of ideals, in which accountability to the church and demonstrated fidelity to its teachings are paramount.
Much of this debate presupposes a certain perspective on the history of Catholic higher education. In this view, the earliest Catholic universities, emerging as they did from "the heart of the church," were very closely connected to, and under the control of, ecclesiastical authorities. Scholars working in such a context, it is thought, had no aspirations to freedom of inquiry, and would probably have considered such aspirations as expressions of a dangerous disloyalty. It is certainly the case that the scholastics did not defend an ideal of academic freedom...

"Whiskeydick is a band most people will form an immediate opinion of. When you hear the name it's easy to think of some super offensive and in-your-face cowpunk band. If you go for that, you might enjoy some of the things they do, but that's not all this band is about. It's just two guys laying it down on acoustic guitars with some bad ass soloing and heartfelt lyrics. They like to get rowdy, but Whiskeydick can bring it. Fritz can rip your heart out while Reverend Johnson is simultaneously melting faces. Their new album From The Devil's Boots is a bit more on the mellow side of what Whiskeydick does, and that is a good thing."
"'Drunk As Hell' and 'The Wicked Roots'2010s 'Drunk As Hell' kicks off with the blistering country of 'Redemption' and just keeps on going with tales of hick town woes, regrets and drunken debauchery. Of course, I suppose the big question is do these albums belong on MetalTalk? Well, yes they do and I'll tell you why. These albums may have too much of a rebel outlaw attitude for the country guys an' dolls and it might be too acoustic and country for some Metal heads and their molls. Yet between the two albums there is not a single song that could not be adapted for a cranked up Les Paul/Marshall combo; clean, no add ons."
"WHISKEYDICK is a two man operation that describe themselves "Acoustic metal-neck Country." How's that for original? The energetic duo hail from Fort Worth, Texas and forged a musical partnership after meeting from their respective metal bands. This is high-octane music, folks As for the show WHEW! I told them boys they "make my heart happy" and I meant it, I've been listening to them for a year now In November 2011, VQ & crew (Wayne & Hobo) made the trip to North Carolina to pick up our partner in crime and 'tour manager' Mr. Bandana.We planned on attending Black Eyed Vermillionn the six years WHISKEYDICK has been together they have released 4 cds .For three hours WHISKEYDICK played their own original music, including "Grave Keeper's Dance" which is not yet released, "Black Tooth Grin" a tribute song to Pantera, and many more. It's hard to pick which one I love Most. WHISKEYDICK paid respects to their own heroes by doing an excellent selection of cover so"
"Only review my drunk stoned ass could find it's not about the album but who gives a shit "Comprised of two dudes you'd hate to run into in a dark alley, this Fort Worth southern rock team had the place jumping. You've never heard an acoustic guitar played with more fury. Their songs are mostly about two things, drinking and being an outlaw. We're interested to hear their new album coming out soon, appropriately titled Drunk as Hell." The song wookie pussy makes this shit worth it with chewbacca sounds and all."
"The talented duo Whiskeydick also took it away with a rough and rugged display of outlaw country. Their game consisted of kickin' ass and takin' names, drinkin' whiskey and chasin' dames. All you really need to know about this band is in the name."
"I was over in the Music Joint waiting on one of the bands I was anticipating seeing for the first time, WhiskeyDick. These guys brought a set that was heavily flavored with outlaw country with a nod to heavy metal. The two guitarists brought it and wowed the crowd with some killer riffs and soaring guitar solos. A highlight for me was the track "Black Tooth Grin" which is a tribute to the infamous metal band Pantera. Following Whiskey Dick"
"MoonRunner II 2014 WHISKEYDICK – 6:05 P.M. MUSIC JOINT STAGE OK, I reached a critical mass point where I was like, HOLY SHIT, I HAVE NOT EATEN ALL DAY. And I went over to the Music Joint to catch WhiskeyDick and have some nachos. BBQ. Sin rivers. Shootin' guns. This is what you get with WhiskeyDick, a two-piece outta Texas. And really, their bio says it best – "…WhiskeyDick blow minds with a double barrel blast of dreadnaught shredding and hillbilly bellowing that makes you want to knock back a shot, stand up tall, and holler "Oh-hell-yeehaw!" Agreed. This is the band that happens when metal meets Southern rock."
"Outlaw country devotees take note, this is the real deal! The fourth CD offering from this "acoustic" duo (Johnson, lead guitar and Fritz, rhythm guitar and vocals) from Ft. Worth is quite possibly their best yet. Considering the prolific and highly regarded back catalog, "best yet" is no easy feat. Check out youtube videos of the tracks "Drunk As Hell," "Jim Beam and Me," and "Wookie Pussy" for examples of previous greatness and fan devotion. The Wicked Roots is the second WHISKEYDICK CD produced by Kurtis D. Machler at Austin's own Million Dollar Sound Recording Studio. The barebones instrumentation consisting of one rock-solid acoustic rhythm guitar, one acoustic but sometimes very electrified lead guitar and one powerfully HUGE voice is all that is necessary to get this robust, urban-country sound across. This record is an excellent representation of what these guys do to rooms nightly across the country and frequently in Austin for lucky patrons of Headhunt"

"A lean, vicious country-rock machine from Fort Worth, Texas.Whiskeydick are Fritz and Johnson, two tattooed nutters who got drunk on a case of Jim Beam one night, and decided that country music needed to go back to its outlaw roots.So, they left their previous metal bands behind, got into mixing up Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Black Label Society, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Pantera, and went down the road to salvation, via Hell.The pair sing about drinking, smoking, raising cane, getting kick out of bars and thrown in jail. They do close to 200 shows per year, and have just released an album called Rebel Flags And Whiskey on their own label, appropriately called 1st Class White Trash.These guys are the sort who wrap their bikes around a lamp-post, and then get high on the exhaust fumes.
