Julia Ward Howe
As a writer, poet, reformer and lecturer, Howe worked throughout her life for justice. In 1861, she authored The Battle Hymn as an inspiration to Union soldiers fighting against slavery. Howe's work is now the national anthem for freedom.
Of even greater importance to her, she founded, with Lucy Stone and others, the New England Women's Club, which later became the American Woman Suffrage Association. Throughout the late 19th and early 20th century, Howe lectured and wrote on women's rights. She fought not only for the right to vote, but also struggled to liberate women from the confinement of the traditional "womanís place" in stifling marriages like her own, where none of her ... more »

UT Contingent Spent Summer on Service-Learning, Peace Mission in Uganda
Eleven UT students are returning this week after spending five weeks in northern Uganda, where they engaged in international service-learning and intensive study of conflict and peace building as part of the Gulu Study and Service Abroad Program.
High School Students Get to "Heart" of the Matter at UT Eastman Camp
For some students, summer camp means improving sports skills, spending time in a cabin, or learning how to tie different knots. In the case of those coming to campus this week, it could mean building heart valves or solving the world's energy needs. The growing relationship between the College of Engineering and Eastman Chemical Company will be on display this week as the company-sponsored High School Introduction to Engineering Systems camp will give students the ability to work on ongoing high-end projects with UT faculty and students.
Cross-Country Science: UT Faculty Mentor Inner-City New Jersey Youth
When faculty members Karen Lloyd and Andrew Steen saw an opportunity to introduce a group of inner-city New Jersey high school students to science, they made it happen. Lloyd, an assistant professor of microbiology, and her husband, Steen, an assistant professor of earth and planetary sciences, just completed their second summer program with students and teachers from Malcolm X Shabazz High School in Newark.
Camp to Give Students Inside Look at Knoxville, Atlanta Transit Systems
The Center for Transportation Research will give area high school students a behind-the-scenes look at public transit in Knoxville and Atlanta when it hosts its first Transit Camp July 29–31 at UT. Open to high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors, the camp is designed to spark interest in STEM—science, technology, engineering, and math—and to showcase focus areas, such as public transit, that might not readily come to mind when engineering and technology are discussed.
UT Hosting Series of Camps for Engineers of Tomorrow
Budding engineers from as far away as Massachusetts will soon gather at UT as the College of Engineering hosts its annual summer enrichment programs. The programs are arranged according to grade level—beginning with seventh grade and running through high school—with the middle school courses serving as an introduction to engineering while the high school students deal with more in-depth engineering topics.
CURENT's Family Engineering Night at Sequoyah Elementary School
CURENT held its Family Engineering Night at Sequoyah Elementary School last Thursday. Students and their families explored nine different exhibits, each with a hands-on engineering project.
WBIR: Positively Schwall – Science Girls
WBIR's Ken Schwall put on his science thinking cap and joined middle school girls at science camp. Hosted by CURENT and NIMBioS research centers, the fun and educational day camp for middle school-aged girls features activities and tours that have been planned by faculty and education staff at each center.
UT Tightens Class Drop Policy; Four is the Undergraduate Limit
Starting this fall, students at UT Knoxville will be limited to dropping only four classes during the course of their undergraduate program. The more stringent policy will increase course availability for students and make more efficient use of faculty time, according to Sally McMillan, vice provost for academic affairs.
New Grant Funding for Outreach Projects
UT Knoxville's Office of Research and the Academic Outreach and Engagement Council recently announced a new incentive grant program to fund campus outreach projects. As part of the campus' commitment to community engagement and the scholarship of academic outreach, the two units have issued a call for proposals that may include projects, partnerships or programs that promote outreach and engagement in research, scholarship, or creative activity; in teaching; or in service.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Starfirex2 Good sofa The sofa is a good size and I like the style. It is a little firm to sit on but am still pleased with the sofa. I like the fabric and the colour is good. 21 December 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chya Very good value This sofa is very good value for money, or to put it another way, it's much better quality than I expected given the low cost and the minimal load bearing. The seat area is a little narrow, but the squidgy cushions more than make up for that. I wish I had known that a good portion of the back height is cushions, because I was worrying quite unnecessarily about getting it in through the door! 15 September 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HW123 Nice! We like the colour and the firmness of the sofa. Though, it was a bit smaller than expected....about 4 cm shorter than description, which is not a big issue but it looks smaller than expected.... 25 August 2014

I think I woke up with extra endorphins from yesterday or maybe it's all of you being so wonderful =)
I'm eating my peanut butter chocolate protein oatmeal and planning out my day right now. Here's what I have so far:
Anyone have any experience with calculating macronutrients?
1:03:36 NON-STOP! This is the farthest I've ever run, I did it with a good pace, and I felt AMAZING at the end of it!
Skip lab
Get my nails done
Have lunch with my family
Run 4-5 miles
Buy protein bars at Costco
Drink coffee and read in my bed
Not do any homework.
I love this weather so much! It makes me want to relax all day.
I already feel SO SO SO much better!
I'm attempting to cook some spaghetti squash for lunch today. It's either going to be amazing or horrible haha
(via bornasarealmadridfan)
146/150 Now that is a score that I feel represents me accurately. Haha just kidding but yeah, I'm so happy! =)
-3.4 lbs
So glad to see the numbers going down =)
I wanted to write more but I have a physics lab to write up and my stomach is growling, I need an egg white omelet and some hot sauce asap haha.
All I'm doing is refreshing the Espn score center app… HALA MADRID!
This is ridiculous. All I want to do is cook my eggs and oatmeal but I don't want to go into the kitchen because I feel like the smell is just going to get all over me. Then I'll be "the fat girl who smells like fried chicken" during my morning class. Annoyed, so annoyed.
When I first started working out, definitely. I remember thinking that I didn't want to go to the gym because I felt like people would be thinking things like "Why is she even trying?" but now though, I realize that people who are really working out are too busy to even notice anyone else. I think once someone gets really into their workout they just tune everything and everyone else out, that'll go for you too, when you're going at an intense rate you'll be too busy trying to breathe to feel self-conscious haha.
As for working out with other people, I actually prefer not to do that. I look at working out like it's my time for myself where I don't think about anything that stresses me out, I don't think about any of my obligations like my job or school, or even my friends. Work out time is ME time and I love it that way. But if you want to work out with your roommate I'm pretty sure they wouldn't judge you for it so try to put that thought out of your mind and go hard for it! I know that when I see someone bigger working out and working hard for it, I have actually have a lot of respect for them!
It never fails, anytime I feel stressed out over school, I eat like shit and/or binge. Usual binge food includes endless bowls of cap'n crunch cereal, cheese pizza, ice cream, and basically anything loaded with carbs. Usual binge reasons include physics exams, physics homework, and physics quizzes. If I feel depressed, I work out. If I feel lonely, I work out. If I feel extra fat, I work out. But school induced stress? Nope, I eat shit. Tonight is looking like one of those nights. Thankfully, I seem to able to stay away from the cap'n crunch. I am, however, eating this:
Low-Carb chocolate. I've had this in my refrigerator for the past few days so there was only about 1/4 of the package left. As far as binge-eating goes, this wasn't all that bad. But it's still pretty early…
The reason I'm able to stay away from the cereal? I'm running after work tomorrow and I hate the way running feels after eating crap the night before. Thank the running gods.
(I wish I was at shocktoberfest right now.)
I've seen the guy a few times before so when I couldn't find an open table I asked him if I could share his. He was very polite and I was able to actually get some studying done even though that Starbucks always plays their music too loud. As he was leaving, he noticed my physics homework. Cue a 20 minute conversation about LBCC, CSULB and being a biochemistry major. He told me that he went to LBCC too and that he's also a biochem major and thinking about going to medical school. I told him that I'm really struggling in Physics and that being serious at LBCC is kind of hard since pretty much everyone is so relaxed and not serious about school. He told me that physics and biochem in general is pretty tough but that it's do-able as long as you're willing to work for it, then he said "Don't let other people effect you or hold you back, it'll bring you down and you'll never reach your full potential." I really need to keep this in mind, just because other people don't study, doesn't mean I shouldn't either. I need to do what's best for me regardless of what other people will think.
After Starbucks I headed to the gym for Ashley's cycle class. My legs were still sore but I really wanted to push it since I haven't been able to run lately (because of school). I felt great at the gym but now the soreness is even worse, just getting out up out of a chair is tough. I'm walking around all stiff too, I think this might be what being old feels like haha. Oh well! I'm working tomorrow and will be on my feet all day long so tomorrow will also be my rest day. But definitely running on Saturday!
And you're all up in mine. Just sayin'
Yeah, I get creative haha. Healthy AND delicious. You guys, I'm literally smiling while eating this =)
So, there was an exam in my Physics class on Monday which I didn't even bother to show up for since I was so incredibly unprepared, like I was going to legit fail because I hadn't studied AT ALL. I was feeling really depressed about it, thinking that I'd really messed up this time, med/pharmacy school would not even look twice at my transcripts, and I'd pretty much resigned myself to repeating the class again next semester. BUT today, my physics professor approached me and asked me what happened, I told him the truth, that I was unprepared and that I would have to repeat the class and do you know what he said? He said "Shayla, you are not dumb! You can take the exam on Monday so study this weekend!" My jaw just dropped, what kind of professor does this for a student? I'm so happy, I still don't think I'll be able to get a good score but any points are better than no points right? I'm going to study all weekend!
On the fitness front: My legs are crazy sore! I downloaded the 'Nike Training Club' app yesterday and my cousin and I did the Butt Blaster workout, it was SO HARD but so worth it! While we were working out, it made me realize just how bad my balance and coordination is haha, so there's another thing to work on. I really felt the soreness today and I had to take it easy during my spin class. I planned on running earlier but I had a little issue with my phone and had to go to apple to get it looked at. That took longer than I expected and I ran out of time to run before class but it was SO HOT (96 degrees) today sooo maybe it was alright that I didn't run. But hopefully, my legs won't be so sore tomorrow because I really need to go hard during Ashley's class!
La Liga and Premier League, I miss you. International friendlies, I'm over you!
Depressed. Need a brilliant roll. And a do-over.

Don't worry Anthony Pettis just yet, because Jose Aldo is not looking for a fight at 155 just yet. But it could be in the cards for the future as he told MMA Fighting:
"I was pissed with that in the past, and then I fought Edgar and proved that I could do good fights (at 155)," he said. "We'll see what happens. I still have many goals to accomplish. One day I'll fight at 155."
Jose Aldo is 23-1 and is due to defend his title for the 6th time at UFC 169 next month.
"We always train with heavier sparring partners to make it harder, so the fight will be easier," he said. "It would be normal for me (to fight at 155). We create difficulties in training so we never think it's easy."
"I don't even watch my own fights. If it's not someone from my team or someone I like, I guarantee you that I'll go to the movies with my family instead."
Alddo is taking on Ricardo Lamas in the co-main event of UFC 169 in Newark, N.J.

broken-hearted pizza lover needs help: Vito's to Rocco's (on Vermont)
alright people, i need some help.
i loved vito's. i mean i really loved vito's. i stumbled across it when i was taking a class at LACC several years ago and the unassuming Vermont Blvd storefront drew me in. the luscious and amazing pizza, friendly folks and casual atmosphere kept me coming back. I've never had pizza like that before or since.
so i keep going past this new "rocco's" joint that vito's has become and i can't really get myself to go in and try it out. does anyone know:
1.) the story. why did vito's close even though everyone loved it? is rocco's any relation to vito's?
2.) the pizza. how is it?
Don't know about rocco's, but I'm pretty sure Vito's is still around but just moved to West Hollywood, where they still indeed serve great pizza
Not sure about Rocco's either, but Vito's is definitely still around.
Vito's Pizza
846 N La Cienega Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90069
Rocco's is okay. They have a few specialty pizzas which I like. The white pie is pretty good and they have these pasta pizzas, penne with vodka sauce or fettuccini alfredo, which are a full pasta dish, covered with cheese on a pizza crust, which are fun. Overall, though, their crust is too bready and the toppings are sparse on the regular pizzas.
I also like their various hot subs: meatball, chicken cutlet, etc. It's the style that's ubiquitous in the east coast, but tough to find here.
Personally, my favorite pizza joint in the vicinity is Village Pizza on Larchmont.
IIRC, Vito's closed because he got into a dispute with the landlord regarding an expansion/remodeling plan.
The new Vito's on La Cienega is certainly worth the trip!
The new Vito's is better and worse in the following ways:
1. The kitchen was re-built to Vito's desires. When he's there, it's distinctly better than the old.
2. The place has gotten more successful, and he's there less often, and his other chefs are variable. Some are almost as good as he is, some are less good.
So the story: it's variable. When he's there, it's pretty much one of my favorite places in L.A. When he's not... sometimes it's great, and sometimes it's less great, though still good.
When he's there, the calzones slay.
re: Thi N.
Vito does make the pizza dough every morning, whether he stays there the whole day or not. Even when he's not there, I think Vito's is the best pizza in town. And it's more than just pizza. He makes the best eggplant parm sandwich ever and a great meatball sandwich to boot. I ditto the calzones. and don't forget his canolis
I used to drive from Mulhulland and Laurel Canyon just to get a slice of the old Vitos. They disappeared, I cried, only to reappear on La Cienega, I cried again, much closer!
Although I am currently in Brooklyn, when I come back to LA, it's straight up La Cienega to savor a slice. Vitos rules.
Yep Vitos is on La Cienega, just north of Melrose.
Rocco's is alright. I haven't had their pizza yet, but I can't complain about their calzones. I kinda really liked my chicken and cheese one. Parking = terrible though.

Barring something unforeseen, Sweet Ron Edwards will be the Chiefs starting nose tackle the next time they play a football game. It'll be his sixth year as a Chief (assuming he re–signs), and fifth as a starter. I'm not sure what thats a testament to. He's never been an especially dynamic player for us. Never recorded more than three sacks or passes batted down in a season. Never forced a fumble. Never been part of our plans for the future. And yet, he remains. He endures. We've somehow never been able to find anyone better.
Thing is, we haven't exactly been looking. Every year the fan base proclaims nose tackle a huge need, and every year Scott Pioli chooses not to address it. I wrote about this a couple months ago. Here was the conclusion:
We've all been assuming ever since Pioli got here that NT would be his top priority. So far, it hasn't been. If a third offseason goes by without a significant upgrade, the only logical conclusion is that Pioli agrees with me: NT is important, but not all-important. The key to a good defense is good players, regardless of where they line up.
In the past, it was common knowledge that a good nose was key to the 3-4 defense. It was also common knowledge that running back by committee didn't work, and you needed one full-time back to carry the load. Truth changes quickly in the NFL. Good GMs adjust to the times. Maybe, just maybe, Pioli has figured out that you can get away with a Ron Edwards at nose if you have good players around him.
I think three years worth of drafting is a pretty significant sample size. And in that time, Pioli picked three cornerbacks, three defensive ends, two safeties, and three pass rushers before he ever touched a nose tackle. Jerrell Powe was a nice pick, and I think we're all pretty psyched about it. But the guy was taken in the sixth round; he's not going to change things for us this year. In fact, the odds are against him ever starting a game. This pick was a gamble (and a worthy one), but not a solution.
Gabe Miller, the projected UDFA that Merlin labelled this year's "WTF Pick", was higher than Jerrell Powe on the Chiefs' draft board. Something to remember.
more after le jump:
After last year's draft, we heard a lot from the Chiefs brass about how this was a pass-first league. While I realized that was true, I questioned the wisdom of addressing that predominantly in the secondary. This year, the defensive focus was on the pass rush. Chiefs picks recorded 24.5 sacks last year (Matty likey). It appears the "pass-first league" talk wasn't just meaningless GM-speak a la the ridiculous "team speed" meme. Stopping the pass really does seem to be this defense's top priority.
So where does that leave the NT position? Out in the cold, somewhat. These guys aren't pass-rushers. And as much as Beast Nation LOVES to lecture about the subtleties of 3-4 block eating, when it comes to passing downs a lineman's job is to get the quarterback. The guys who can't obviously aren't as valuable in that part of the game. Essentially, for over half the plays in a given game, a 3-4 nose tackle is not going to be a useful player. Our defensive substitutions on passing downs bear that out.
I don't want it to sound like I have some sort of grudge against a position, because that would be pretty weird. I think my affection for Sweet Ron is well known at this point, and I really liked the Powe pick. But I've been hearing for years about how the nose tackle is key to the 3-4 defense, and the evidence is stacking up that that simply isn't the case. Or at least, that our GM doesn't believe it is.
We all want to have great players everywhere. But most of us also realize that isn't possible, particularly when your owner isn't willing to spend as much an other owners. The Chiefs have limited resources (they've decided). There are going to be a few positions where they just have to stick a journeyman or a stopgap. For the third straight year, Scott Pioli has decided nose tackle is going to be one of those positions. Is that pure coincidence? If that position was really so vital, surely he would've pushed for an upgrade at some point, right?
Aside from the epic failure that was the 2009 offseason, I like the way this defense has been designed. Pass rushers, secondary. It would be nice to have a Vince Wilfork in the middle, but I don't see that as absolutely necessary, and apparently neither does Pioli. Hey, if you're going to pick one position to be satisfied with mediocrity, it should be the position that spends the least time on the field. Makes sense, right?
But it isn't just that. Think about what all of these guys actually do. What's going to happen if you consistently send a mediocre corner out there? He'll get beat in coverage. A mediocre safety? He'll give up the deep ball. Outside linebackers? The quarterback will have too much time and pick apart the defense. Inside linebackers? They'll fill the wrong lanes and give up big runs a la Corey "The Pacifist Predator" Mays.
But what happens when you phone it in with your nose tackle? What, he eats an average of 1.1 blocks per play instead of 1.2? Sweet Ron may not be a playmaker, but he carries just as much mass as any other 325-pound man and he lines up right in front of the guys he's supposed to initiate contact with. His job may be hard physically, but it isn't brain surgery, and most of the time it isn't especially high-impact either. A mistake won't break your back. Even in the worst case scenario, he's still in the way, and he's still noshin' a blocker. Isn't that pretty close to what he's supposed to be doing even on a good play?
I say we feed Sweet Ron a steady diet of carbs and energy drinks for the next five years and just keep sending him out there until he expires on the field. Then we can raise a mound over him where he falls, and when the opposing offense is near that part of the field, it'll be like he's playing defense for us even after death. Our enemies will learn to fear the Mound of Edwards. Or, as the Elves would say, the Haudh-en-SweetRon.
So what say you, Addicts, is your boy Big Matt off his rocker here, or is he onto something? If you had to pick one position to settle for mediocrity, which would it be?

91 LX 1.9L failed emissions
91 LX 1.9L failed emissions
My 91 escort LX 1.9L failed emissions for NOX the standard is 2.50 and it came up 2.59. Probably an EGR system problem, but I was told by emissions that it was running hot. The radiator and fan assembly were replaced 2 months ago. Any suggestions on a quick fix just to get it thru Emissions.
If you think it's the EGR system, I'd suggest taking the EGR valve off cleaning it, checking the EGR tube for restrictions and last and most importantly run something into the intake at the EGR port like a screwdriver or stiff piece of wire . I've had to remove the EGR valve from a few Escorts to clean the gunk from the intake port. The overheating problem might be a bad temperature sensor or cooling fan relay. Are you loosing any coolant? If so you may have a blown head gasket.
You may be in need of a new catalytic converter... it could be plugged.
I would agree about cleaning the parts of the EGR system.
I wonder how the tech figured it was running hot? Its normal for the fan to come on when the car has been idling of course, and the gauges in these cars can read way too high if the engine is running and there is a bad ground connection at the weird little connector at the negative terminal of the battery.
I have an infrared thermometer that you point at things to find out the temperture. You can get them as low as $30- $40 from places that sell Chinese tools or from ebay. Mine shows me 190f-205f at the upper radiator hose - about the time the fan come on its low speed.
And if yours has the EGR tube running down behind the motor and plugging into the exhaust (instead of around to the side and connecting into the exhaust manifold like the later 2nd gen Escorts had), see if there is a rubber tube going from the middle part of the larger EGR steel tube, and back to an 'egr pressure sensor' mounted on the firewall. That tube may have gotten fried and broken open. Its a special rubber, but as no parts place knew what I was talking about, I replaced it with ordinary fuel line hose.
NOx is created by high combustion temperatures. Run some GOOD combustion chamber cleaner through the engine to clean out any excess carbon that may be in there. Excessive carbon buildup in the cylinder can raise the compression ratio which raises NOx emissions. A catalytic converter is designed to handle HC and CO normally. There are types that handle NOx but they're not usually found on all cars. Not sure if yours has one or not. Being that it has an EGR I would lean towards no. And definitely check out the EGR system like the other guys said, that could be another cause.
How many miles are on this car?
How many miles on the O2 sensor?
When was the last time the MAF, throttle body, or IAC were cleaned?
How many miles on the spark plugs?
Have you checked for vacuum leaks?

Sick Drummer magazine was the first to spread the rumor that that drumming mastermind Navene Koperweis was quitting Animals; as of late last Friday night, the news was confirmed: Navene is indeed out of the band.
Reportedly, Navene departed on very amicable terms, as he released this statement about his departure:
"Tosin and Javier (Reyes, guitar) are the two most generous, caring and understanding individuals I've ever met and I look forward to a lifetime of friendship with the both of them. Over the past decade I have done nothing but music. Recording, writing, playing, practicing, touring and producing. It's taken me beyond what I could have dreamt of as a kid when I started. My new goals extend beyond the drum kit and I'm the type of person who will constantly chase new dreams. You'll be seeing a lot more of me soon."
Animals As Leaders main man Tosin Abasi shared the positive vibes, with nothing but great things to say about Koperweis:
"I've shared some of my most memorable musical experiences to date with Navene and truly consider him a brother. I commend him for following his own path in life, even if that means i'll no longer be sharing the stage with him. I feel blessed to have had the pleasure of working together and creating a lifelong friendship."
The split seems like one of the least dramatic we've come across lately (Portnoy, anyone?) As for the new guy, Matt Garstka, the footage below seems quite indicative of this guy's talent:
I know the Flaming Lips are weird, but this takes 'creepy' to a whole new level.
According to a UG.com article, the band is planning on including actual blood specimens from their collaborators as part of Record Store Day this year. Frontman Wayne Coyne says he's been collecting vials from the likes of Ke$ha, Bon Iver, Nick Cave, Coldplay and Lightening Bolt, though it's not quite clear which artist(s) have actually taken part of this vampire-esque plan.
Coyne says the blood samples will help form a limited-edition picture disk, "like a glass specimen." Only five or six of these disks will be made.
Coyne commented to MTV Hive, "You don't really realize how many people are afraid of needles until you say, 'Hey, I'm going to send someone by the show tonight to get some of your blood."
OK, Wayne. More power to ya.

The alternative, as unromantic as it sounds, could be great music that remains buried in obscurity - forever.

EXCLUSIVE: Ozment rejoins White House as senior director for cyber
Tuesday - 5/29/2012, 3:17pm EDT
The White House is bolstering its cyber coordinator office with a familiar face.
Andy Ozment will join the cyber office as one of two senior directors reporting to Howard Schmidt, the administration's cyber coordinator, and eventually the new cyber coordinator, Michael Daniel, a National Security Staff spokeswoman confirmed. Schmidt announced he was retiring earlier this month.
Ozment comes back to the White House from the Homeland Security Department where he was director for compliance and technology in the chief information security officer's office.
He worked in the Executive Office of the President for about 18 months as part of the team that worked on the overall policy direction for the administration after the 60-day cyberspace review was completed.
"Andy Ozment's tenure at DHS has provided him valuable insight on how policies actually get implemented or not at the department and agency level," said Karen Evans, former administrator of e-government and IT at the Office of Management and Budget. "This experience will prove invaluable to him as he returns to the White House."
Evans said Ozment's experience, along with Daniel's 17 years of experience at OMB with national security budget issues, will form a strong team as they implement the administration's cybersecurity agenda.
"I am very excited for the department and agencies as they will be able to really help the departments and agencies achieve the priorities for minimizing the risk to the nation's assets from information to critical infrastructure," she said.
Before joining the government Ozment was an associate staff member at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Lab and worked for Merrill Lynch in its information security and privacy division.
"Andy is knowledgeable, energetic and knows the lay of the land," said James Lewis, director of the Technology and Public Policy Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). "Overall, he's a good pick."
White House cyber czar Howard Schmidt to retire

Amazon.com. The name will get a reaction, negative or positive, from almost everyone. It gives authors, even independent authors, a massive marketplace on which to showcase their work. On the other hand, Amazon has been the target of many complaints from indie authors and small presses regarding some of their business practices. One of the more recent examples is a lawsuit by independent booksellers who alleged that Amazon had "colluded with publishers 'to keep rivals from selling eBooks.'" As it happens, a judge threw out the charges on December 11, citing what ultimately came down to a lack of evidence.
At the same time, Amazon has been busy creating a lengthening list of publishing imprints, the most recent of which is StoryFront, which seeks to capitalize on the growing popularity of short work available for the Kindle. And speaking of Kindle, Amazon also offers KDP, which allows anyone to publish ebooks for the popular reading device. And let's not forget CreateSpace!
Is Amazon on the side of small, indie authors and publishers or does it favor the establishment? A case could be made either way. In my view, it seems that Amazon is attempting to position itself as the alternative to big publishing, while playing nice with the Big Six. (For now, they still have something the other wants.) While it is great to have the alternative, the question arises, "Can Amazon be trusted?" What happens when they've accomplished their goal of becoming the alternative? Will Amazon continue or even broaden their small author outreach? Or will they simply become the new establishment? Your thoughts?

He revitalized rockabilly with the Stray Cats and revived swing and jump blues with the Brian Setzer Orchestra. But what Guitar World readers really want to know is …
Your playing style is so incredible and immaculate. Did you start with any jazz guitar training or did you just learn how to play "Stairway to Heaven" like the rest of us? — Jon Rubin
[laughs] I'm not saying I didn't play it. Hell, we all played it; it's a classic. But I did take guitar lessons for about 10 to 12 years, with two different teachers.
I took my first lesson when I was eight years old. I went through the Mel Bay books. Back then in Long Island, New York, there were mostly jazz players.
So my first teacher was actually a saxophone player. After that I studied with this other jazz teacher, Ray Gogarty. He took me further into the jazz world: advanced chords, a little bit of the modes, scales and standards.
I seem to remember reading that one of the cars on Stray Cats' Built for Speed album cover was yours. Is that true? — Eric Smoot
Yeah, the '56 Chevy on the cover of Built for Speed was mine. That Chevy actually got stolen from a parking spot years ago. I wish I still had it. I came back from doing what I was doing, and the car was gone. It broke my heart.
What first inspired you to play guitar? — Molly McAllister
I was a little kid, like six or seven years old, when the Beatles came out. I remember hearing their music and I couldn't imagine where that sound was coming from.
Then I saw a picture of the Beatles, and George [Harrison] had an electric guitar, and I was like "That's it!" It was that sound—the sound of George's guitar—that first captured me when I was really young. It all goes back to that sound.
What led you down the rockabilly path? — Steve
The real defining moment for me was when I heard [Gene Vincent's] "Be-Bop-A-Lula" on the jukebox. Back in 1976 or '77, we had this club in Manhattan called Max's Kansas City. There was always punk music blasting, but for some reason one day "Be-Bop-A-Lula" came on the jukebox. It was as if a hand came across the bar and grabbed me, like, "Listen to me! Listen to how cool I am!"
There was just something about the raw, back-to-basics sound that fit perfectly with the urgency of the punk movement I was in back then. To me, rockabilly music paralleled punk's energy and feeling, but the players were much better. I'm telling you, I still remember Cliff Gallop's solo coming out of the speaker. I went, "What the heck is that? Who's playing this?"
I really dig your hair. What is your secret ingredient? Are you a Murray's Pomade man? — Joe Barrios
[In radio-announcer voice] You've heard of Dapper Dan? Well, I'm a Murray's man! [laughs] As my dad used to say, "You've got to train your hair." And then once you've got it trained, you comb it in the position, throw in a little bit of Murray's … and you'll be a Murray's man, too. [laughs]
What attracted you to using Gretsch hollowbodies as your main guitars? — Jeff Osgood
The first reason I wanted to play a Gretsch guitar is because Eddie Cochran played one. Believe me, when I was growing up, nobody knew who he was. I just stumbled across this record and I thought he looked cool. I had no idea he was that good.
But once I popped on the record, it was exactly the guitar sound that I wanted: somewhere between a Fender and Gibson. To me, if you play a Fender straight through the amp without any effects, it's a little thin sounding. And a Les Paul didn't twang enough; it was just always on 11, you know?
The Gretsch was right between those two. It had that twang, but you could really make it sing if you wanted. I guess it just fulfilled the sound I was hearing in my head.
I know you co-wrote some tracks with [late Clash singer and guitarist] Joe Strummer for your Guitar Slinger album, and I heard that you were friends with him, as well. Can you share any good stories? — Cole Slaugh
Oh, I've got a lot of great memories with Joe. Joe and I would spend the summers together because we were good friends and we both had children. So we'd throw the kids in the pool and have a good time. Joe had a very good, dry sense of humor, you know, and some of the things he would say were just…
Well, let's say he was very good at making fun and making light of a situation. If you were wound up or you were aggravated about something, Joe would say a couple words, and then you would laugh and realize how silly the whole thing was. He was a great guy, and a genius of our time.
Which classic rockabilly artists would you recommend I check out to better understand the style? — Jimmy Vomvas
The definitive rockabilly album for me was Elvis Presley's The Sun Sessions. Boy, oh boy. That probably has everything you need all wrapped up right there. Also pick up the first two Gene Vincent records: Blue Jean Bop and Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps. As a guitar player, you have to hear Cliff Gallup play with Gene Vincent and Scotty Moore play with Elvis Presley.
I love your live sound. But I'd like to know how you control feedback at stage volume. I have had this issue with hollowbody guitars in the past. — Eric A. Nay
I've actually never had any problems with the [Gretsch] 6120 with FilterTron pickups. The feedback that I get is kind of friendly feedback. It's like a note, not a squeal. I love what happens on a hollowbody guitar when you're too close to an amp. That sound comes back through the guitar and vibrates the body, like an old jalopy or something. That's the most magical feeling to me. Once you figure it out, you can kind of control all of those feedback notes.
You've got an amazing sound. What is your main amp-and-effect setup? — Billy Wilson
I just use a '63 Fender Bassman and a Roland Space Echo. I mean, my amps have been worked on, but they're not modified—rather de-modified. Over the years people have put in the wrong tubes, cables and speakers. I try to get the Bassmans back to stock, and I like to use Celestion Vintage 30s for the speakers. I think they're better matched to the power of the amplifier head.
I've always been impressed by your right-hand picking technique. Could you give me any advice on how to refine mine? — Greg Terzian
Well, first of all, anyone that tells you "This is the only right way to do it" is wrong. Any way you feel comfortable fingerpicking…if it works for you, then do it. There's not a wrong or a right way.
When I fingerpick, I tuck my pick under my index finger; I'll slip it down when I use the guitar pick, and then I tuck it up, and use my thumb, second, third and fourth fingers to fingerpick. I've never heard of anyone doing that, and I don't know if you could call it correct, but that's what works for me.
Do you ever get bored playing rockabilly-type stuff? If not, how do you keep your playing fresh within that style? —Justice Edwards
I always mix in new things, new influences. There are so many different styles you can play in that genre. I mean, I'm a rockabilly guitar player, but I'm influenced by all American musical styles, like jazz, blues, country and rock and roll. So the way to keep from getting bored from playing one particular genre of music is to mix in other styles.
