International Monitors Declare Azerbaijan's Elections "Free, Fair And Transparent"
BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Azerbaijan's just-concluded presidential elections received praise from the European Parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), with electoral monitoring missions from both bodies praising the country's orderly, free, and fair voting process and its openness to international monitors.
In a joint statement made Thursday before a standing-room-only press conference, Pino Arlacchi, the head of the European Parliament's mission, and Robert Walter, the head of PACE's observation mission, gave a joint statement in which they praised the election for its "free, fair and transparent electoral process."
Arlacchi congratulated Azerbaijan on the open, peaceful nature of the election, noting, "We have not seen any fact of pressure on voters." Speaking of the vote tabulation, Walter added, "We have participated in the process of counting votes and have not faced irregularities."
Both missions praised the resources and attention given to making certain that the electoral process itself was smooth and peaceful. The joint statement made clear that both PACE and the European Parliament were satisfied that the "electoral procedures on the eve and on Election Day have been carried out in a professional and peaceful way," and that they "were pleased to see the sound technical preparations and the investment made by the Azeri authorities for this election." The two missions also stated that they "did not witness any evidence of intimidation against voters, in or close to polling stations. There was no presence of police around polling stations in compliance with the electoral law." The statement singled out the "more open electoral debate" that preceded this election and the "window of opportunity" the opposition enjoyed. Both missions commended Azerbaijan's "large presence of national and international observers for the 2013 presidential election" and congratulated the country on its continuing democratic journey, with a promise to remain partners on that journey. "The European Parliament stands ready to keep working closely with the Parliament of Azerbaijan to enhance EU - Azerbaijan relations, both bilaterally and in the context of the Eastern Partnership." In total, over 50,000 observers, including 1,400 international delegates, monitored the election, a sign of growing openness and commitment to democratic norms in this oil-rich Caspian nation. The OSCE Chairman-in-Office, Ukraine's Minister of Foreign Affairs Leonid Kozhara, welcomed the large number of observers from authoritative international organisations, noting that a number of aspects of the conduct of the Presidential election in Azerbaijan showed progress towards meeting the OSCE and Council of Europe commitments and other international standards for democratic elections, while also outlining the areas which need to be further improved. "In this regard, I congratulate the people and the leadership of Azerbaijan on this achievement that represents an important step forward in democratic development of their country," Kozhara said, adding, "I am confident that Azerbaijan will continue its efforts aimed at further strengthening its democratic institutions."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Coupled–mode theory of hologram sharing in mutually pumped phase conjugators
Applied Optics, Vol. 28, Issue 11, pp. 1961-1964 (1989)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (758 KB)
A coupled-mode theory is developed for photorefractive hologram sharing in mutually pumped phase conjugators. The theory shows that the spatial gain coefficients for the mutually conjugated beams are twice as large as those of other scattered beams.

Central Washington University President James L. Gaudino will chair the Washington State Council of Presidents (COP) for the next 12 months. The voluntary association is made up of the presidents of CWU, the University of Washington, Washington State University, The Evergreen State College, Eastern Washington University, and Western Washington University. The council promotes coordination and collaboration among the member institutions, as well as with other educational partners in Washington and across the country.
"We have a great tradition of working as a team to enhance support for baccalaureate education in Washington," said Gaudino, noting this year marked the first year-to-year increase in state funding since 2007. "We have just begun to reverse the disinvestment in public baccalaureate education and still have a lot of work to do.
The council advocated for state support that would forestall the need for tuition increases. As a result the legislature provided $119 million in additional funding for the four-year institutions and community and technical colleges, including a net increase of $17 million in financial aid.
Gaudino said the presidents would continue to build on the successes of the most recent legislative session, and position higher education to regain ground lost during the Great Recession, when state funding fell by 50 percent. This year the council will participate in a wide range of higher education initiatives, including a study on performance-based funding and the development of a ten-year strategic plan for higher education.
The COP regularly convenes a variety of groups to share best practices; promote efficient, effective instruction, and operations; and collaborate in the development of public policy. CWU administrators will lead the work of those groups. Provost Marilyn Levine will chair the academic officers committee; George Clark, vice president for business and financial affairs, will lead the business officers committee.
The COP chair position alternates annually among the presidents of member institutions.

Movie Info
Mark of the Vampire is Tod Browning's remake of his own 1927 thriller London After Midnight, which unfortunately no longer exists. The sudden appearance of ghostly vampires in a remote mittel-European community is seemingly tied in with an old, unsolved murder case. Police inspector Neumann (Lionel Atwill) and occult expert Prof. Zelen (Lionel Barrymore) investigate, with the full cooperation of leading citizen Baron Otto (Jean Hersholt). For awhile, it looks as though the vampires -- Count Mora … More

All Critics (13) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (3) | DVD (3)
There isn't much in the story that one hasn't seen before, until the very end when Browning and the script turn everything on its ear.
Like most good ghost stories, it's a lot of fun, even though you don't believe a word of it.
A real touch of class is present in James Wong Howe's magnificent photography, not to mention Carol Borland's stunning apparition as a vampire.
The film gets tiresome and talky, even at its 61-minute length.
Scores high marks for creating a sense of otherworldly dread that depends very little on whether or not what we see makes any sense.
Suffering from a flagging pace and patchy script, the film has its plus points nevertheless -- notably a good use of visuals.
One of the classics of the horror genre.
This amusing B&W film, with photography by James Wong Howe, captures the eerie atmosphere befitting a horror film.
Audience Reviews for Mark of the Vampire
wonderful gothic atmosphere but there's an odd tone to the film and you'll soon discover why. i still can't decide if the ending is clever or just ridiculous. not browning's finest hour but worth seeing
MoreSuper Reviewer
Ultimately disappointing vampire story, whose only saving grace is Carol Borland, who really spooked me in her role as the female vampire.
MoreSuper Reviewer
One gets the distinct feel that Mark of the Vampire could and should have been really something, but sadly Browning's film fell prey to the fall-out of his own trend-setting. Mark was initially supposed to depict an incestuous relationship between the father and daughter vampires terrorising the town. But MGM were all over Browning after the controversy caused by his masterwork Freaks, that they immediately cut that out without any consideration for how it would affect the plot. As a result, Lugosi sports a bullet-wound throughout the film for seeingly no reason. Besides this, we endure some leaden acting and frightful staginess, irregardless of Browning's honest attempts at atmospherics. Exposition is also a problem, the events unfolding as if read from an instruction maual. Redeemingly, the picture does sport a delightfully unusual ending and features more comedy than you'd expect, making it at the very least entertaining.

Godawful script (due, at least in part, to the numerous scenes that were never shot and a number of others which did not make the final cut) is somewhat redeemed by some decent atmosphere, a spectacular sequence (with some very impressive special effects) and a very creepy performance by Mr. Lionel Atwill.
Is this a remake of "London After Midnight"?

(Part 2)
by Tom Ross
In part one, Staley discussed the subject of Strength Training Benefits for Martial Artists.
Charles Staley is a sports conditioning specialist and author of the newly released book "Strength Training Benefits for Martial Artists".
FightingArts.com: Do you feel strength training to be of value to the older martial artist, and how should the approach to training be handled by a sixty year old as opposed to a twenty year old?
Staley: As we age, we steadily lose our fast twitch muscle fibers- the ones responsible for our ability to function, maintain posture, and keep the metabolic rate at a high level. The value of properly performed strength training is that it slows the loss of these valuable fibers, so that you lose physical functioning at a much slower rate than if you did not train. In power lifting, there are men over the age of 60 who squat over 600 pounds- a weight that would simply squash the average man. One well-known power lifting coach recently lifted 900 pounds at age 58. This is only a tad less than the current open category world record.
Many, many studies have now been conducted with people over 80 years old, and it has been demonstrated that strength can be easily and safely doubled in a few months, even at these advanced ages. Kind of exciting, I think. Older athletes need to approach it more conservatively, and they should have supervision (as should everyone).
FA: Many female martial artists I've spoken to have failed to utilize a strength training program due to fears that it would add excess bulk or stimulate a masculine appearance. Could you address these fears?
Staley: I recently went on a hike in the Valley of Fire National Park, about an hour north of Las Vegas. During a break for lunch, a female friend of mine mentioned that she had just benched pressed 135 pounds for the first time ever. Another member of our party, a successful artist with an advanced academic degree, asked what the world record was for the bench press. When I replied that it was something over 400 pounds for women, he replied "Jeez, why would you want to take it that far?" I quickly jumped in and responded, "Why would you climb Mt. Everest, or try to earn your first million by age 30?" He then said "What I mean is, why would you want to get so big?" I was just dumbfounded that this man had no ability to distinguish between being strong and looking like a "brick outhouse." My client Mariam Power, who is the Canadian Jr. Champion in the sport of power lifting, bench presses 240 and squats over 400 at a body weight of 155. She looks like a Victoria's Secret model.
When a woman is strong, but maintains modest proportions, no one seems to notice. It's only when you have a woman who weighs 240 (who probably was always big, even before she ever touched a weight) that people notice.
If you ask a middle-aged woman when she thinks she was in her best shape ever, she'll invariably say that it was in her late teens or early twenties. Know why?
FA: Because her metabolism has slowed down?
Staley: Indirectly, yes. It's because that's when she had the most muscle (which is what fueled her high metabolism). Repeat after me..."Muscle is our friend, muscle is our friend."
You can also look at women at high levels in sport- Katerina Witt, (figure skating), Marion Jones (track & field). These are strong women, much stronger than the average man. And most women wouldn't mind looking like them, I assure you.
FA: True enough. Would you say that a female martial artist begins by utilizing the same approach recommended for male strength trainers?
Staley: Yes, in general. There are some differences of course. Truthfully, when I train an athlete, I look at that person individually -- the concept of sport-specific or gender-specific training is a bit over-rated. In other words, regardless of their gender or sporting event, I look at their posture, flexibility levels, training experience, injury status, and so on. These parameters probably have a greater bearing on how I train them than their gender.
FA: Many male weight lifters take precautions to prevent training injuries such as a hernia, etc. Are there any areas of concern a female new to strength training should be careful of?
Staley: In general, no. Incidentally, most lifting injuries are not what I could call an "acute" event, such as a muscle tear or someone blowing their back out. Usually, it's long term, incorrect lifting that can potentially set the athlete up for an injury down the road. A lot of this can be avoided by ensuring that one's training program has adequate diversity and variation.
The main difference I find in training females is that they have a lot of preconceived fears about resistance training making them look masculine, and so on. Having trained a lot of female athletes, I'm fairly skilled at educating them about why that won't happen. And I will say that women are very gratifying to work with, because when they do get super strong, I'll tell you, they just LOVE it. Many women are surprised by their own reaction, in fact.

ProbCause - One of a Kind
Artist: ProbCause
Featuring: The O'My's
Producer: C. Lang and The O'My's
Album: Bonafyde Compilation
Avg Rating: 4.4 ( 5 votes )
Both prominent members of the Windy City underground (and recent collaborators with SaveMoney ringleader Chance the Rapper), emcee ProbCause and funk-soul ensemble The O'Mys's finally join forces on new single One of a Kind. Over C. Lang and The O'Mys jazzy live-band grooves, Prob shows off the hyperkinetic flow and unhinged lyrical sensibility that set him apart from the competition. Maceo Haymes lends his unique, weathered vocals to the chorus. If you're feeling it, you can rest assured that One of a Kind won't live up to its title; the collaborators assure us that it's just the first of many joint releases. In the meantime, you can look forward to more fresh cuts from the Chi's best and brightest on the forthcoming Bonafyde Compilation, due out in February.

Yolanda Be Cool's massive rebranding effort from their 2010 hit single, "We No Speak Americano," has proved to be very fruitful. Signing to Dim Mak Records for the U.S. release of their new album turned a lot of heads, and their mix for the label's pool party in Miami stirred up a lot of passion. With many ID's on their way according to some facebook activity, a new song and video titled, "A Baru In New York," has come into being.
The classic track from Suzanne Vega and DNA, 'Tom's Diner,' has been one of my favorites since I can remember. The catchy vocals from Suzanne Vega married with the dance sensibilities from DNA made this track an absolute smash, and over a decade later, Sydney native Anna Lunoe has teamed up with Wordlife for a collaborative cover of the original — only this time taking it a bit deeper and a bit dancier. Anna and Wordlife put together two mixes of the cover — a shorter, to-the-point version from Anna and a longer, extended version from Wordlife.

Better Models for Juvenile Justice
Rod R Blagojevich; Kathleen Babineaux Blanco; Edward G Rendell; Chris Gregoire, The Christian Science Monitor
Amid news stories that raise the specter of increasing juvenile crime, it is easy to lose sight of the fact that crime rates overall, particularly for violent crimes, are still near 30-year lows. The cries of alarm are reminiscent of those heard in the early 1990s, when a rise in violent juvenile crime and myths of superpredators helped transform a system that had been focused on individualized treatment and rehabilitation for nearly a century into one that was increasingly harsh and punitive.
The impact of these policies began to hit home. Thousands of adolescents, locked up during a critical period of development, returned to their communities without the skills or support to lead productive lives. A disproportionately large number of them were young minorities. The cost of "get tough" policies was measured not only in escalating budgets of prisons and detention centers and rising recidivism rates, but also in reduced public safety and the loss of human potential.
Over the past decade, groundbreaking research on adolescent development and on what works to help young people steer clear of crime has brought about more rational and effective policies. Illinois, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Washington were among the first to incorporate this new knowledge in reshaping our juvenile justice systems.
Now, in partnership with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation's Models for Change initiative, we are working to further improve juvenile justice policy and practice across the country. However, these efforts could be at risk if public opinion becomes unnecessarily inflamed again.
Illinois launched the nation's first juvenile justice system more than a century ago. But, like many other states in the 1990s, it turned away from its historic rehabilitative mission, transferring a growing number of youths to adult court. The result was a sharp rise in recidivism rates and a growing racial disparity in incarceration rates.
Illinois is now renewing its commitment to juvenile justice by enacting a new law to separate the juvenile and adult systems to better protect young people. Redeploy Illinois, a model demonstration in four counties, provides incentives to place nonviolent juvenile offenders in community-based programs. As a result of this program, Illinois has reduced commitments of nonviolent juveniles by 44 percent at its pilot sites since 2004.
In the 1990s, Louisiana had the highest juvenile incarceration rate in the nation and some of the worst juvenile prisons. …

Take a Chance on S&P 500, Since Weak Volume Can Still Work
"Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria. The time of maximum pessimism is the best time to buy, and the time of maximum optimism is the best time to sell. If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd." -- Sir John Templeton
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Today was another slow day for markets, as traders trickle back after a long weekend. September isn't usually the best month of the year, but neither is August -- and August was fantastic.
Leading stocks remain strong and are building nice continuation patterns, like bull flags, or are continuing to move higher. We are still seeing relatively low volume in markets, but the leading stocks are seeing good volume at key points.
There are a lot of people complaining about the low volume -- and that is only because they are missing out on this rally.

Mary-Sues: Part 1Mary-Sues: Things You Need to Know and What to do if you see ThemMary-Sues: Part 14 years ago in Reviews & Guides More Like This
Mary-sues, Martha-sues, Marty-stus, Larry-Stus and Gary-Stus, we will all come across them at one point. Most of us have heard of them, some have been violently accused of making them via flaming, and others are still naïve to the terms. While people who have been on writing sites for years absolutely loathe them, most are inconsistent with an all-around definition. A majority claim that Mary-Sues are characters that are absolutely perfect in every shape, form and personality, while others just say that they are characters that are just too powerful, unique, or are so clichéd from past characters, and a few say they are self-inserts no matter how well-developed they are. Some on fan fiction sites even say that all Original Characters or Fan Characters (OCs) who are paired with a canon character or just take the spotlight are Mary-Sues. On the other side of the cr

In the previous 11 chapters of The Guide to The Mary Sue we have discussed the different traits of the characters classified as "Mary Sue", and their effect on literature as a whole. The "Mary Sue" is a disease that has been spreading throughout the world of literature since the inclusion of appealing male characters in stories. While some Mary Sues have become socially accepted, in some cases, even worshiped, i.e. Bella Swan in Twilight , there are some that have become the bane of the fanfiction community.
In this chapter, our personal researcher into the world of the "Mary Sue", has some things she would like to say about how to avoid being THAT fanfic writer.
We've all been there. Looking through the pages of a book, slowly falling for [insert name of attractive male character here], and we have all wanted to escape this reality and live in the world that books and other pieces of literature have created. As someone who once s

In-line monitoring technique with visible light from 1.3 μm-band SHG module for optical access systems
Optics Express, Vol. 18, Issue 3, pp. 2100-2105 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (339 KB)
We propose an in-line monitoring technique that uses 650 nm visible light for performing maintenance work on Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network quickly without the need for measuring skills or external devices. This technique is characterized by visible light (650 nm) generated by an SHG module from the 1.3 μm-band line signal. We fabricate a 1.3 μm-band quasi phase matched LiNbO3 (QPM-LN) module, and the measure the 650 nm second harmonic (SH) power to test the proposed short-pulse modulation method. The results confirm the feasibility of the short-pulse modulation method with different peak factors (PFs) (1.0-7.3). We also examine the effect of short-pulse modulation on system performance at the optical receiver by measuring the bit error rate (BER) of received data (1.25 Gb/s). The BER is basically unaffected by the PF (1.0-5.5). This means that the proposed technique has little influence on data reception as regards PF (1.0-5.5).

An attack on Chinese military police in Xinjiang in 2010 killed six people.
China has so far convicted 198 people linked to the bloody ethnic riots last July in its troubled Xinjiang region, a top official said on Sunday, warning that final figure will be more.
China on Thursday sentenced six more people to death over bloody ethnic unrest in its far-western Xinjiang region in July, bringing the total to 12 as it delivered harsh retribution over the violence.
Police in China`s northwestern Xinjiang province have detained 319 more people in connection with the July 5 riots in this provincial capital.
China dismissed an exiled activist`s claim that 10,000 minority Uighurs disappeared during a recent crackdown after ethnic riots erupted in its far west, calling the figure "completely fabricated" on Thursday.

The August Moon Festival at Sampan offered delectable moments in moonlight
The August Moon Festival or Mid Autumn celebration is one of the most notable Chinese holidays. Chinese families rejoice the end of the harvest season with a big feast. Unlike American Thanksgiving dinner, Chinese have moon cakes instead of grandma's apple pie.
Chinese legends say that the moon is at its brightest and roundest on this day. Under this bright autumn moon, friendships are made and renewed. And for such a perfect rendezvous I visited the August Moon Food Festival at The Suryaa New Delhi's pan Asian restaurant Sampan. Ambience of Sampan is lavish and beautiful. Seeing the full moon from its huge glass walls and enjoying the dinner was a delight.
Menu was extensive and innovative. Designed by the Executive Sous Chef Rakesh Prasad, it consisted of some common and authentic homemade delicacies enjoyed during the Moon festival.
I started with the light and healthy Wong – Bok, clear soup with chicken and vegetables. It was presented beautifully with the chicken stuffed inside the egg broth and dipped into the clear stalk of vegetables. Appetisers were made in different styles. Sautéed spicy prawns made in Chongquing style were tasty and completely different from the schezwan style of cooking.
Spicy sauce
It was full of dried chilli flakes having a coating on the prawns. Crispy fried basa made in dried chilli and Sichuan pepper was tasty but it lacked crispiness and became a bit soggy because to the sauces.
Eating the traditional August Moon dragon rolls with minced juicy chicken as stuffing was a delight. It truly was finger licking. Rolls were crispy to perfection. Dim sums served in a platter were fresh and enjoyed best with the spicy sauce. I liked the one being stuffed with chicken.
Main course had many options. I went for the home style shredded chicken with pan fried noodles. Shredded chicken was delicious having a perfect balance of spices and it was very well seasoned. It had a light colour and was good to look at, thankfully, not loaded with soya sauce. August Moon special rice with gansu lamb with greens in oyster sauce tasted well too but for me the best were the desserts.
Enjoyed hot, traditional Ice Moon Cake was a tasty small circular cake having a crispy outer layer. My favourite was the crispy fried Seven Treasure ice cream spring rolls. I can still recall its ice cream bursting in my mouth.

Is there any way to install SPC with FTB? Any time I try to install it, the next time I start FTB it downloads a new Minecraft.jar which obviously makes SPC not work. If I cancel the Minecraft.jar download and try to start up FTB, the launcher hangs indefinitely.
SPC, never heard of you.. you could just enable cheats when you create the sps or spc map if you just trying to be able to do all the / commands
SPC adds about 60 commands to the game that aren't in it, as well as a single-player version of WorldEdit.
Ahh well in that case. I would suggest the basics, see if the SPC mod is for the correct version of MC that your FTB modpack is using. Then add it in via the launcher (after you cut paste it to the modpackofyourchoice/mod folder) Other than that Im sorry i can not help.. the few mods ive added to my clients have never had any conflict issues.. SO yeah sorry that I can be more help to you mate
Finally figured it out! I'll post the instructions here in case anyone else stumbles across this thread. Download the manual install version of SPC. Unzip the file, copy WorldEdit.jar into .minecraft/bin Open up the FTB launcher, and add the SPC .zip file you downloaded to your jarmods Enjoy
Ill bet you that the non-manual install of SPC actually installed it into your non-ftb minecraft client..
Nope, it didn't. The automated installation allows you to specify a path which I changed to my FTB directory.
Automated install will write directly into the minecraft.jar, and that file is overwritten every time. Just put what you would put in the minecraft.jar to the jar mods folder.
question, can you world edit custom blocks and modded blocks? cause i want to know if i can install it in TFC, my biggest question is if i can add them to the brush or will i have to create something and then copy paste, if it works at all with TFC,

Gregory LeNoir "Gregg" Allman (born December 8, 1947) is an American rock and blues singer-songwriter, keyboardist, guitarist and a founding member, with his brother Duane, of The Allman Brothers Band.
In the early 1970s, the Allman Brothers Band enjoyed huge success: their album Live at Filmore East is widely regarded as one of the best live albums ever made, and a number of their signature songs were written by Gregg. While it was unusual at the time, the band was based in the Southeastern United States. "Southern Rock," a term Gregg coined for their musical genre,[1] is a fusion of rock, blues, and country.
In spite of Duane's death in 1971, and a year later, that of bass guitarist Berry Oakley, both in motorcycle accidents, the band continued to record and tour. In addition, Allman developed a solo career and a band under his own name. Despite recent health issues, Allman still tours. His latest album Low Country Blues is a return to the blues. It was released in 2011 and includes "Just Another Rider" written by Allman.
Gregg Allman was inducted with the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. When he was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame on September 16, 2006 he was introduced by Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue and performed "Oncoming Traffic", "Melissa", and "Georgia on My Mind" solo and then ended with "Midnight Rider" backed by fellow inductees Bill Berry, Peter Buck, and Mike Mills from R.E.M. at the Georgia World Congress Center. His distinctive voice placed him in 70th place in the Rolling Stone list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time".[2]
Allman's memoirs of his life in music, My Cross to Bear, was released on May 1, 2012.[3]
Greg is the younger son of Willis Turner Allman and Geraldine Alice (née Robbins).[4] He was born in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1947, thirteen months after his brother Duane. His father was in the US Army and in 1949 the family relocated to Fort Story, Norfolk, Virginia. Shortly after, his father was murdered by a casual acquaintance whom he had offered a ride home from a bar[5] and Geraldine "Mama A" Allman was left to raise the boys. In order to retrain as an accountant, she sent her sons to Castle Heights Military Academy in Lebanon, Tennessee, which they both loathed.[6] Eventually, in 1957, when his mother had finished her degree, the family settled in Daytona Beach, Florida, and the boys attended Seabreeze High School.
Both Gregg and Duane became captivated by music at a young age. Gregg has revealed that he and Duane went to see Jackie Wilson, Otis Redding, Patti Labelle and B.B. King perform and that he was particularly struck by King's Hammond organ player.[7] Gregg took an interest in the guitar before Duane did, learning the very basics from his grandmother's neighbor in Nashville. However Duane would soon become the superior guitarist, giving up school in tenth grade to focus on it while Gregg practiced his vocals and keyboards, remained at school and finally graduated in 1965. Although he planned to become a dental surgeon, Gregg fell in with his brother's plans that they should become musicians, intending to go to dental school after a short while.[8]
In the mid-to-late-1960s, Gregg and Duane Allman played in a series of bands including The Escorts and The Allman Joys, mostly around the Southeastern United States. According to a 2013 interview in American Blues Scene magazine, the first band the brothers played in was The House Rockers and The Untils in Daytona Beach, Florida.[9]
Toward the end of the decade, The Allman Joys relocated to Los Angeles, and were signed to Liberty Records, which renamed them The Hour Glass. In addition to the Allmans, The Hour Glass consisted of three other players who would later become renowned studio musicians in Muscle Shoals, Alabama: Pete Carr, Johnny Sandlin and Paul Hornsby. Strongly controlled by the label management, the group produced two psychedelic blues albums. All the players were deeply dissatisfied with the results; Duane Allman, in particular, spoke bitterly of the Hour Glass' output. The label executives were, however, impressed with Gregg Allman's abilities as a vocalist and keyboardist. The band left Los Angeles for the South and disbanded. In Florida, Gregg and Duane joined a band called February 31 with a drummer named Butch Trucks but Gregg returned to California as Hourglass still owed money to Liberty Records which believed that Gregg had potential as a solo act.[10]
Duane became employed as a session musician at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and began to assemble the group that would become The Allman Brothers Band: Duane and Dickey Betts on guitars, Berry Oakley on bass guitar, and Butch Trucks and Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson on drums. In the meantime, Gregg had grown unhappy with the Liberty Records arrangement so when Duane called from Jacksonville, Florida in March 1969 to say that he had assembled a band that needed a singer, he jumped at the opportunity and returned to the South.
Allman had long wanted to play the Hammond organ, and was given one immediately upon joining the band, which he had to quickly learn to play. Ever since, he has played the Hammond B-3 with a preference for a 1969-issue B3 hooked to a Leslie speaker 122RV and handled much of the lead vocals and songwriting for the band, along with occasional piano and guitar contributions.
After the death of Duane Allman in 1971, Gregg Allman started out on a solo career. His first album, Laid Back, was released in 1973 to a positive critical reception.
It included a couple of reworked Allman Brothers songs, such as a horn-infused version of "Midnight Rider" that made it to #19 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and originals like "Queen of Hearts", that the other ABB members felt did not quite fit the Allman Brothers sound. He also covered traditional gospel song "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" and former California roommate Jackson Browne's song "These Days."
His solo career has continued intermittently throughout the subsequent decades, sometimes touring when the Allman Brothers Band was off the road. Generally, these solo efforts – first with the Gregg Allman Band, and later with Gregg Allman & Friends – eschew lengthy guitar solos and cast Allman more in the mode of his favorite soul singers. The bands often include a horn section and are more groove-oriented, mixing original songs with reworked Allman Brothers songs and covers of blues, R&B, and soul songs.
Allman's second chart single came in 1987 with the #49 peaking "I'm No Angel", from the album of the same name. The album went on to be certified Gold for 500,000 copies sold and led to a renewed interest in Allman and to a reformation of the Allman Brothers Band less than three years later.
His solo album, Low Country Blues, was produced by T-Bone Burnett and issued in early 2011. It is a collection of eleven blues standards and one new song written by him.[11] The album was nominated as the Best Blues Album for the 2011 Grammy Awards.[12]
He has also made guest appearances on albums and concert videos of a wide variety of other artists, including a concert DVD celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of The Radiators, playing Midnight Rider with them.
In addition to his musical career, Allman took acting roles in the films Rush Week (1989) and Rush (1991), and in episodes of the TV series Superboy. He also had a brief speaking cameo in the Family Guy episode "Let's Go to the Hop".
Allman currently lives in Richmond Hill, Georgia.[13]
Allman's previous partners include Cher[14] and Stacey Fountain.[15]
Allman's children include: Michael Allman, Devon Allman, Elijah Blue Allman, Delialah Island Allman (now Delialah Kurtom), and Layla Allman. All siblings are successful and in the music business with the exception of Island Allman, who is currently a Registered Nurse in Maryland. She earned her Associate of Arts in Automotive Technology at Santa Barbara City College, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Dominican University of California, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Georgetown University, and is currently in a Master's program at Georgetown for Family Nurse Practitioner.
Allman was diagnosed with Hepatitis C late 2007, which he attributes to infection from a dirty tattoo needle.[16] On June 23, 2010, he underwent surgery for a liver transplant.[17] The operation was successful, and he has recovered well.
During the mid-1970s, there was a prominent and high-profile court case involving Allman and John C. "Scooter" Herring, Allman's road manager, and the distribution of drugs. After Herring was indicted, Allman agreed to testify at Herring's trial in exchange for a grant of immunity from prosecution.[18][19]
Allman's autobiography, My Cross to Bear, was published by HarperCollins under the William Morrow imprint in 2012. It was first reported that Craig Gillespie would adapt the book into a film, however it was later announced that Randall Miller and Jody Savin would partner with Open Road Films to write and produce a film titled Midnight Rider: The Gregg Allman Story. Gregg Allman was an Executive Producer on the film along with his band manager Michael Leyman.[20] Production on the film was halted after one partial day of filming when a CSX freight train struck multiple members of the crew filming on a railroad trestle in February 2014, resulting in the death of Sarah Elizabeth Jones.[21] Miller, Savin and two other members of their production team were arrested for involuntary manslaughter as multilple civil lawsuits and controversy stalled the film production.[22] One of the lawsuits was by Gregg Allman in an attempt to stop an effort to restart filming by Miller, although it was settled out of court without disclosure.[23] Based on court testimony and filings, it does not seem likely the film will continue with Miller and Savin producing.

Brazil's soybean harvest continues to lag at 29% complete as of Friday, said AgRural, a local consultancy.
The diesel shortages due to the trucker roadblocks may have grabbed the headlines last week, but fieldwork delays have much more to do with late planting.
Harvest efforts moved forward nine percentage points last week but are 10 points back on last year, although just four points back on the five-year average.
According to AgRural, the harvest picked up pace in the Center-West last week.
In Mato Grosso, the No. 1 soy state, exactly 50% of the crop ...
