- The Chemistry Department celebrated Mole Day in the Barrington Student Union from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. on October 23rd. Using a number of visual representations and demonstrations, the Chemistry Club recruited SUNY Potsdam Students to join the Mole Day activities. Students showed an electrolysis demonstration exhibiting the 2:1 mole ratio of hydrogen and oxygen gas evolution based on water splitting using solar energy. Collected hydrogen was used as a fuel to power a car. Using a fuel-cell powered car, the students were able to see this technology in action. From here the participants were introduced into new material science and graphene's role in current research, specifically how graphene is made and what methods are used for its characterization.

- On September 26th, 2014, the SUNY Potsdam Chemistry Department celebrated it's 4th annual Chemtoberfest, from 10:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. in the Barrington Student Union Quad. The main organizer of the event was John Proetta. The event, which is a fall-themed hands-on science fair, attracted over 1000 participants to the SUNY Potsdam Campus. The celebration was coordinated in tandem with the theme of National Chemistry Week 2014, "The Sweet Side of Chemistry." Our students allowed the guests to step into a "Chem Candyland," where they demonstrated the fascinating science behind some Confectionery Chemistry. SUNY students worked with PACES to craft the candies that were served at the event. With the help of the Culinary Club and PACES Executive Chef, Amy Conger, the students were able to learn about culinary science and teach it to the public in a meaningful way. In tandem with these sweet attractions, students were able to investigate biosensors by having their blood glucose tested by Student Health Services. In addition to the chemical demonstrations presented in the Chemistry Magic Show, our students constructed an interactive Fluorescence Rave Cave and designed a fragrant Organic Chemistry ester experiment exploring the science of scent.

Steam railways have always captured the public's imagination. Even from the first stirrings of the mineral lines in the early 1800s through to the heyday of the Railway Age, steam engines kept and continue to keep their fascination. The delight is that around the British Isles is a wide range of working, restored steam railways. Every size and type is represented and it is these railways that primarily feature in this book, providing a real, solid picture of life… (mehr)

NEW YORK (AP) — Two American aid workers seriously ill with Ebola will be brought from West Africa to Atlanta for treatment in one of the most tightly sealed isolation units in the country, officials said Friday.
Americans with Ebola returning to US for treatment
One is expected to arrive Saturday, and the other a few days later, according to Atlanta's Emory University Hospital, where they will be treated. They are due to arrive in a private jet outfitted with a special, portable tent designed for transporting patients with highly infectious diseases.
It will be the first time anyone infected with the disease is brought into the country. U.S. officials are confident the patients can be treated without putting the public in any danger.
Ebola is spread through direct contact with blood or other bodily fluids from an infected person, not through the air.
The two Americans — Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol — worked for U.S. missionary groups in Liberia at a hospital that treated Ebola patients. The State Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are assisting the groups in their transfer.
The government is working to ensure that any Ebola-related evacuations "are carried out safely, thereby protecting the patient and the American public," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said in a statement released Friday.
A Department of Defense spokesman said Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta, Georgia, will be used for the transfer.
The aircraft is a Gulfstream jet fitted with what essentially is a specialized, collapsible clear tent designed to house a single patient and stop any infectious germs from escaping. It was built to transfer CDC employees exposed to contagious diseases for treatment. The CDC said the private jet can only accommodate one patient at a time.
Brantly and Writebol are in serious condition and were still in Liberia on Friday, according to the North Carolina-based charity Samaritan's Purse, which is paying for their transfer and medical care.
An Emory emergency medical team in Liberia has evaluated the two aid workers, and deemed both stable enough for the trip to Atlanta, said Emory's Dr. Bruce Ribner. Hospital spokesman Vincent Dollard said the first patient was scheduled to arrive Saturday.
Brantly, 33, works for Samaritan's Purse while Writebol works for another U.S. mission group called SIM. Late last week, Samaritan's Purse officials said Brantly had tested positive for the virus. Shortly after that announcement, Writebol's infection was disclosed.

Healthy foods for back to school
Life is busy, and in America that often means living a fast food lifestyle.
As local students go back to school, Sweetbay Supermarkets is offering ways to help parents make healthy choices for lunches, snacks and dinner through a series of wellness seminars.
On Wednesday, August 19, the Bonita Springs Sweetbay had an aisle-by-aisle tour by registered dietician Tricia Marshel. The tour was dedicated to creative and nutritious ways to eat.
"I know the challenges at home, but you have to get kids started at an early age with eating healthy," Marshel said. "I have kids and I have a husband who is a junk food junkie."
The main focus of Marshel's seminar was the Guiding Stars program.
Shoppers walking through the aisles of Sweetbay may notice green shelf tags with one, two or three yellow stars. These tags are part of the national Guiding Stars program developed to make healthy shopping a little easier for consumers. The program is not specific to Sweetbay Supermarkets, but they are using the program.
More than 45,000 food items nationwide have been rated based on the FDA's Nutrition Facts label and the USDA's nutrient database.
"Remember one star is good, two stars are better, three stars are best," Marshel says during the tour.
There are many stars in the fresh produce section of the store, but consumers may notice fewer in the dairy aisle and none in the candy aisle.
According to the Guiding Stars program, this all has to do with the rating system that was developed by scientists from the University of North Carolina, Dartmouth Medical School, Tufts University, Harvard University, University of California, Davis and the Muskie School of Public Service at the University of Southern Maine. A unit of 100 calories is used to make comparisons for each food.
Foods are credited for vitamins and minerals, dietary fiber and whole grains and debited for trans fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, added sugars and added sodium. The number of Stars assigned is based on the food's total score.
"Looking for the Guiding Stars at the supermarket is an easy way to look at the shelf tag without reading every ingredient," Marshel said.
Besides pointing out the Guiding Stars, Marshel also gave tips on creating healthy snacks for kids.
"Kids love to dip things," Marshel said. "Start using something like a hummus to dip veggies in. Most people think of beans as a protein but they also count as a vegetable."
According to Marshel kids should have two servings of fruits each day and three servings of vegetables as based on the food guide pyramid found at MyPyrmamid.gov.
What is a serving?
"A fresh fruit and vegetable serving is about the size of a baseball," Marshel said. "If it is a cooked fruit like applesauce, it would be about half a baseball."
As a dietician Marshel said that many clients often tell her that they can't afford to eat well, especially in tough economic times.
In response she holds up two grocery bags that equal around $10. One is packed with potatoes, plums, spinach, cucumbers and other vegetables. The other has chips, cookies and soda.
"Many people say they can't eat well because they can't afford to; I say, 'we'll show you how you can eat well,'" Marshel said. "If you are eating junk food you aren't getting the nutrients you need. Then you end up not feeling well and in the long run it is not cheaper."

Fusilli with Summer Tomato Sauce
For this light, uncooked sauce, you must have perfectly ripe tomatoes. Be sure they're at room temperature, too, not cold. In fact, tomatoes shouldn't be refrigerated at all; chilling permanently reduces their flavor.

The irrational exhuberance of the momentum fools ends up the same way 99% of the time. The same finality will happen here within a day or two.
1. No news, no catalyst
2. An uncalled for short squeeze
3. Technically extremely overbought
4. Fear, that will take it down quickly, is a much stronger emotion than greed
5. This company is competing with numerous other companies in a field that is getting closer and closer to saturation
First nobody on this MB is a "moron". because they don't see things your way.
Second, nobody on this format posting knows what is going on behind the closed doors.
Third, if to have any "FACTS" to support your opinions let's hear them without the name calling.
Ok, guys, now that I've covered my short at 7.32, I have a few minutes to respond without name calling...
Well, yes, it's pretty well understood that commonsense dictates that there is a reason for everything. Perhaps a few savvy Wall Street types spread a rumor concerning "forthcoming huge news" (oh, how they love the word huge!). However, we're still waiting. The assumption that "something is happening behind closed doors" is valid. Albeit, valid as long as the rumor is "valid". So, what did we have here? An uncalled for short squeeze that can only take place in a frothy market, such as the one we're in. Even in a frothy market reality sinks in sooner than later.
Neonode is a fine little company with sweet products. However, it has huge (yes, huge) competitors in a market that is beginning to look saturated. So, the short and and the long of it, is that the risk to the downside is bigger, especially during a crazy run.
yes everyone is a moron except you right
It's interesting to try to understand the mentality of the morons. Morons who buy high and get screwed time after time. The basic rule (Buffett) "be fearful when everyone else is greedy" seems to be completely lost on them. How long, morons, before this thing is back own to $6? Another interesting thing is that those morons never heard of this money losing little operation prior to yesterday. Now they hate with venom everyone who says a half a word that may shatter their unrealistic expectations.
We a few days ago we saw a crazy run on another beauty - MBIS, only to get a statement from the company that they see no reason for the unusual activity in their stock.

Following Facebook, Foursquare Becomes A "Platform" With "Connected Apps"
Whether taking a page from Facebook or simply following a logical development path, Foursquare has taken steps toward becoming a "platform." Last week the company announced "connected apps."
Connected apps allow third party developers to integrate their apps and content into Foursquare. There are a number that showed up with the announcement, among them: Foodspotting, GroupMe, Instagram, Path and the Weather Channel.
These connected apps will extend the content and functionality of Foursquare, tied to location or particular venues. It also gives developers yet another "app store" (or app gallery as Foursquare is calling it) for discovery of their apps. In addition to connecting/incorporating them into Foursquare, users will also be able to download apps from the gallery.
Foursquare says it wants to see how developers and end users react before more widely opening up the program. However developers can get "preview" access to the new API already.
To the extent the program takes off it repositions Foursquare as a "platform," rather that merely a site/app. It also makes Foursquare a much broader utility for both users and developers, who can now potentially use connected apps and the gallery to drive adoption of their apps. Additional, potential revenue streams also open up for the company in this new platform scenario.
As Foursquare evolves it becomes more and more interesting. The company is the exemplar of the "SoLoMo" phenomenon and now a potential hub for other location-based apps.

This is an awesome product. After the reviews here, I decided to take a trip the Bath & Body Works to try some for myself and I'm so glad I did. After literally dozens of different lip products, this will be one of the few I will use from now on. The flavor is great (love the cinnamon), it's nice and shiny without being too sticky, price isn't bad ($7.50), and the natural ingredients are a plus.

It tingles. It freshens your breath. It smells like cinnamon. It is a clear gloss. It is shiny. It is barely sticky (not slippery like Cargo's but not sticky like L'ancome juicy tubes). It moisturies too. 3 for $15 is an awsome deal.

a sweet cinnamon - even after the shiny, delicious gloss has worn off, the tastey flavor remains as a treat for hubby/bf kisses!:) these minty wonders act as slight plumpers for my lips, but they don't bother my boyfriend's lips when he kisses me with intense burning! they instead offer a refreshing tingle:) I love them! try one!

If you like cinnamon, you'll like this lip shine. I have this and the regular metha ones and they are very different. It's a nice change of pace to grab this lip shine. It leaves lips super shiny and yummy tasting.

With the CO Bigelow lip shines, I either love them or hate them. I can't say I liked the mint Mentha Lip Shine, but I love the Cinnamint one. It's a very mild cinnamon scent/flavor and comes in a cute tube. It's not overly sticky/greasy/waxy...just a good everyday kind of lip balm. I definitely recommend this and it's worth repurchasing!

has that awesome minty tingle, but it smells and tastes like yummy sweet cinnamon. awesome because it works as a clear gloss during the day, and is literally so moisturizing that i have friends that double it as their overnight lip balm as well!! if you accidentally lick your lips it actually does taste good :)

I love this product because instead of mint flavor I can get my favorite gloss in this great cinnamon flavor as well. I am very happy with this purchase and think it would make great stocking stuffers.

The European Australia Business Council (EABC) and the ANU Centre for European Studies are pleased to announce the commencement of two EABC-ANUCES Fellows for 2014. The EABC promotes a forum for business leaders to engage in high-level dialogue on economic and public policy issues with Australian and European political leaders, officials, diplomats and business delegations. The EABC-ANUCES Visiting Fellowship is a collaboration between the EABC and the Australian National University to develop and communicate research on trade investment and regulatory policy issues between Australia and the European Union. The successful candidates of the Fellowship were announced at the EABC Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 23 September in Sydney. The fellows presented their research proposals to the Board of the EABC – comprising of some of Australia's most senior business leaders, government officials and academic representatives. The fellows also had the opportunity to take part in a discussion about a potential free trade agreement between Australia and the European Union during the AGM Dinner with former trade ministers the Hon Simon Crean and the Hon Mark Vaile, and EU Ambassador to Australia Sem Fabrizi. Dr Hazel Moir's background is in economics, demography and public policy, and has a lifetime interest in equity issues, including gender issues. She has early private sector experience, including in the international aid field. She then spent nearly 20 years in the Australian Public Service, mostly in policy advising and policy research areas She holds two PhDs, the first in demography and economics from Brown University, and the second in public policy from the ANU. Her research interests include economic impacts, particularly on innovating firms, and the overall public policy outcomes. Her proposed research project is Managing non-trade issues in comprehensive trade agreements: patent and copyright regulations Dr Annmarie Elijah has previously worked as a policy officer in the Australian Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, and has taught politics at the University of Melbourne, Victoria University of Wellington and ANU. Her PhD (University of Melbourne) examined the implications of British membership of the European Community for Australia. Her research interests include Australia-EU relations, European integration theory, comparative regionalism, trans-Tasman relations, Australian and New Zealand foreign policy and federalism. Her proposed research project relates to the recently completed Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement between Canada and the European Union. The fellowship holders will take up their research residency at the ANUCES in October 2014 and expected to finalise their research reports by the end of January 2015. The fellows will present their research findings to the EABC in early 2014 and at further events organised with business, government and academic stakeholders.

Steam function, makes difference?
Do you have washer with steam function? Is it worth it?
What feature is more important for washer and dryer for you? quiet, energy/water saving, efficiency are important for me so far. Please share your opinion about steam function and your priorities.
Thank you
Steam is nothing more than a gimmick in washers. Just get a good machine with an on-board heater and ignore all the steam gimmicks. In a dryer, steam may help with relaxing wrinkles. But then again, you can do the same in a non-steam dryer by lightly spraying your clothes with water and putting them into the dryer on low heat setting.
I have an LG set with steam on both the washer and drier. Honestly, I haven't used them beyond the initial "trial" run. I just didn't notice a difference.
I wouldn't NOT buy a set because they have a steam option, but I also wouldn't spend more to get the option.
I think Consumer Reports said that steam only boosted cleaning performance insignificantly - in both washing machines and dishwashers.
If you look at service documentation from Whirlpool, for example, you will find that the Steam Sanitize function uses the heater to raise the water temp to 153°F and then the steam generator kicks in to heat to the final 155°F - big deal.
I honestly think that, if washers have perfectly cleaned laundry for decades without steam, then I don't see why I should spend money on such a feature. The only practical application for steam is used by dry cleaners, where a powerful jet of steam is aimed straight at stains to actually blast dirt particles away from the fibres. That is not what happens in a washer, though. All the machines do is fill the drum with steam - kinda like hanging your clothes in a hot shower and waiting for the lingering steam to clean them...
In the dryer, steam can help to remove odors and, to a lesser extend, wrinkles - it works better with synthetic fibres.
A good detergent and proper cycle selection is far more important than steam, in my opinon.

No. 106 North Texas Mean Green (4-8) Coach Dan McCarney (third season, 9-15 at North Texas, 65-100 overall)Returning Starters: 17, 8 offense, 8 defense, 1 special teamsRecruiting Rank: 120 The Mean Green will have 23 newcomers in 2013 – including 14 incoming freshmen and nine transfers. Four of those transfers are from other FBS schools, highlighted by former Kansas quarterback Brock Berglund. The 6-foot-4 Colorado native will be eligible play in 2013 after enrolling last fall. The offense will also get a boost from former Texas receiver Darius Terrell and former Purdue tailback Reggie Pegram, who both can play this season. Berglund, who has three years of eligibility remaining, is on his third school in as many years, but has been penciled in as the starter. After getting dismissed from Kansas, Berglund left Scottsdale Community College in Arizona to come to Denton. North Texas tried to recruit Pegram, a Dallas native whose father played at UNT, before the younger went to Purdue...

Everyone knows the story of Elizabeth and Jane Bennet in Pride and Prejudice. But what about their sister Mary? At the conclusion of Jane Austen's classic novel, Mary, bookish, awkward, and by all accounts, unmarriageable, is sentenced to a dull, provincial existence in the backwaters of Britain. Now, master storyteller Colleen McCullough rescues Mary from her dreary fate with The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet, a page-turning sequel set twenty years after Austen's novel closes. The story begins as the neglected Bennet sister is released from the stultifying duty of caring for her insufferable mother. Though many would call a woman of Mary's age a spinster, she has blossomed into a beauty to rival that of her famed sisters. Her violet eyes and perfect figure bewitch the eligible men in the neighborhood, but though her family urges her to marry, romance and frippery hold no attraction. Instead, she is determined to set off on an adventure of her own. Fired with zeal by the newspaper letters of the mysterious Argus, she resolves to publish a book about the plight of England's poor. Plunging from one predicament into another, Mary finds herself stumbling closer to long-buried secrets, unanticipated dangers, and unlooked-for romance.
Meanwhile, the other dearly loved characters of Pride and Prejudice fret about the missing Mary while they contend with difficulties of their own. Darcy's political ambitions consume his ardor, and he bothers with Elizabeth only when the impropriety of her family seems to threaten his career. Lydia, wild and charming as ever, drinks and philanders her way into dire straits; Kitty, a young widow of means, occupies herself with gossip and shopping; and Jane, naïve and trusting as ever, spends her days ministering to her crop of boys and her adoring, if not entirely faithful, husband. Yet, with the shadowy and mysterious figure of DarcyÕs right-hand man, Ned Skinner, lurking at every corner, it is clear that all is not what it seems at idyllic Pemberley. As the many threads of McCulloughÕs masterful plot come together, shocking truths are revealed, love, both old and new, is tested, and all learn the value of true independence in a novel for every woman who has wanted to leave her mark on the world.
Colleen McCullough, a native of Australia, established the department of neurophysiology at the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney before working as a researcher at Yale Medical School for ten years. She is the bestselling author of numerous novels, including The Thorn Birds, and lives with her husband on Norfolk Island in the South Pacific.

This page contains all information relating to implementation of the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention in Spain.
I am very pleased to join you today to launch the OECD Environmental Performance Review of Spain. This is the third Review of Spain: the first was published in 1997, and the second in 2004. The relatively long time that has elapsed since the last Review provides an opportunity to take stock of the results that Spain has achieved over the past decade to promote greener and more sustainable growth.
It is an honour to receive this recognition from Nueva Economía Forum, an organisation that is very close to my heart because I have been involved in several of its events during my many visits to Madrid.
The OECD's latest Environmental Performance Review of Spain finds the country has decreased the energy and carbon intensity of its economy, reduced industrial pollution and cut per-capita waste generation since 2000.
Mr. Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the OECD, was on an official visit to Madrid from 27 February to 2 March 2015. Mr. Gurría received a Doctorado Honoris Causa from the Universidad Europea de Madrid and the Nueva Economía Award, granted by the Nueva Economía Forum.
This publication contains statistics on fisheries in OECD member countries (with the exception of Austria, Israel and Slovenia) and some non-member economies (Argentina, Colombia, Latvia, Chinese Taipei, Thailand) from 2006 to 2013. Data provided concern fishing fleet capacity, employment in fisheries, fish landings, aquaculture production, recreational fisheries, government financial transfers, and imports and exports of fish.
As other high-income countries, Spain has experienced competitive pressures from China and other emerging economies that have resulted in a loss of global market share.

The Spanish standard VAT rate is 21%, which is above the OECD average. The average VAT/GST standard rate in the OECD was 19.1% on 1 January 2014.

Title: Edibility of non-native garlic sprouts from Brancburg, NJ
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have regular garlic in my refrigerator. It had sprouts growing out of it so I put it in a cup of water. Now that the stems are large enough to put in food, my question is.. Is that part of the garlic edible?
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Garden, home of Mr. Smarty Plants, is committed to the growth, propagation and protection of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which it is being grown, in your case, Somerset County, NJ. Allium sativum (Garlic) in the onion family, is native to Central Asia, and therefore falls out of our area of expertise.
From an article from the Boundary Garlic Farm - Growing Garlic - we found a great deal of information on the cultivation and propagation of garlic, but no indication whatever than any portion of the plant was toxic. Whether it would taste good or not is another question, but we don't believe you would be at any risk at trying it.

I've been doing boring music stuff the last few weeks but on the weekend I did make it to the concert of Cornelius Cardew's late music at Conway Hall. This was the music he composed while an active member of the Progressive Cultural Alliance and the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist). I was going to write a little something about the concert tonight so I looked up the RCPB(ML)'s website, which had a link to the flyer promoting the gig.
Instead of the flyer, I found this:
The front page article links through to a statement by Chris Coleman, the National Spokesperson of RCPB(ML). It contains such shameless statements as:
Comrade Kim Jong Il has led the Korean party and people in continuing to build the socialist society of their choice, in the most trying circumstances, and defending the sovereignty and independence of the DPRK, while ceaselessly striving for the peaceful reunification of the Korean people by their own efforts.
In my last Cardew article I linked to the party's website with the phrase "wrongheaded political project". As I feared, I was being too kind.
The statement is then followed by the official DPRK statement, reprinted in full without qualification or comment. It is accompanied by pictures which make it look like a copy of the Kim Jong-Il Looking At Things blog, without any sense of irony, humour or self-awareness. It is full of sentences such as "Kim Jong Il possessed of personality and qualifications as a great man on the highest and perfect level was an outstanding thinker and theoretician who led the revolution and construction along the path of steady victories with his profound ideologies and theories and remarkable leadership."
It was this that reinforced the tragedy of Cardew's life. Regardless of the qualities of his later music, he made himself into a humourless, clueless, brainless agitator utterly lacking in awareness of both the evil he promoted, and how transparently ridiculous his efforts appeared to the people he most wished to save.

My memories of the AMM gig at Conway Hall are a lot more positive than my thoughts on it at the time, or so it seems. Reading that blog entry again was a small shock. Even now that I'm puzzling over it, my bemusement is not over what caused my memories of it to change, but what caused me to write about it that way in the first place.
It may well be that the music really didn't make much of an impact on me, and what has really stuck in my head was the experience of being at the concert, which I am inclined to remember more fondly. (Incidentally there's a photo of it on Wikipedia, but I didn't know that until today.)
At the same time I am certain that my opinion on Sunday's concert won't change.
"Celebration" was in the title of the concert, but as celebrations go it was a muted and introspective affair. Perhaps this was to be expected. For the past 30 years Cardew has remained unfinished business. His last years were consumed by his dedication to a wrongheaded political project that squandered his talent and energy, and his early, unexpected death left the new music world a strangely inconsistent, unresolved body of work. British musicians have chosen, largely, to ignore him while a rump of the avant-garde treated him as a semi-legendary figure and unsuccessfully tried to reconcile the conflicting tendencies that pulled his music in such contradictory directions.
Sunday's concert in the Purcell Room got us no closer to perceiving a distinct outline of Cardew's oeuvre, although it presented one piece of the puzzle. In the first half John Tilbury played several of Cardew's piano pieces, from the Sixties and early Seventies. The three February Pieces and Material felt like an early historical attempt to both accommodate and escape from the prevailing avant-garde dogmas of the Fifties. A sonic delicacy reminiscent of Webern would alternate with passages of stasis, spiky contrapuntal discord and isolated tones, sometimes romantic, otherwise remote, disrupted by a wilful discontinuity, tempered by a reliance on the performer's instinct to find a form in the score's aleatory structure. (At times you could see Tilbury flipping both forwards and backwards through the pages.) Overall, the mood was elegiac.
The brief Unintended Piano Music from either 1970 or 1971 was a strange, brooding piece; a series of chords articulated by a repeated triad ascending in the bass. Its lulling, nagging repetitions and pensive mood illustrated why Morton Feldman felt so at home amongst the British avant-garde of the time. The Croppy Boy was the sole acknowledgement in the programme of Cardew's later dedication to founding a new People's Music for the Marxist-Leninist revolution that never came. In this context, it came across as overly sentimental and slightly insincere.
After the interval, Tilbury was joined by percussionist Eddie Prévost. Together they performed as the improvisation group AMM, of which Cardew was an early, key member. Prévost's programme note takes some pains to detail the numerous personnel changes over the years. "One suspects AMM will somehow continue after those who first thought of it have long since departed," he concludes, yet the preceding history feels more rueful than triumphant. It can't help but echo the unending splits and factions amongst the various communist parties with which Cardew was involved in the Seventies.
I saw an expanded version of AMM play two years ago. Tonight, the duo's sound is understandably sparser, with long pauses, and culminating in a lingering uncertainty between them over when exactly they've finished. Prévost is preoccupied with a technique, as if he's rehearsing alone. He spends most of his time bowing a cymbal, a tam-tam, some small gongs, shifting his equipment about casually, almost sloppy. Tilbury slips between foreground and background, but much of the time can add little more to this monomania than slow, chromatic scales, sometimes ascending, sometimes… It's less a celebration, more resignation, exhaustion.

Yes, another week-old gig. Last Thursday at the ICA, watching the Wandelweiser collective perform Christian Wolff's 1971 text composition Stones:
Make sounds with stones, draw sounds out of stones, using a number of sizes and kinds (and colours); for the most part discretely; sometimes in rapid sequences. For the most part striking stones with stones, but also stones on other surfaces (inside the open head of a drum, for instance) or other than struck (bowed, for instance, or amplified). Do not break anything.
Wandelweiser's approach to this piece is to determine in advance that the performance will last an hour, and that each of their seven performers will devise 10 to 20 "events" of a type, duration and timing of their own choosing. This seemed like an intriguing idea. How did it manage to come across so wrong?
The room didn't help. The performance was supposed to be very quiet, with long silences allowed to emerge between sounds. Unfortunately, in the ICA theatre everything sounded muffled and dull, with the silences drawing attention to the hum of the airconditioner. For some unexplained reason, a recording of some sort of faint rustling (pebbles? water?) played intermittently. This sound was curiously uninteresting, and its recurrence became something of a nuisance.
The performers played with a deliberation which drew attention away from the sounds they made, and the sounds produced were insufficiently rewarding to make the act of listening anything more than I chore. I really expected to like this more than I did. On the surface, the interpretation was very similar to John Cage's Number Pieces, which I love.
A friend in the audience afterwards remarked that it had provided a good opportunity to observe the psychological profiles of the performers. He also made an important point. So much of Wolff's musical career has been spent in the shadow of Cage; and when Wandelweiser devoted a concert to Wolff, all they did was shove him back under Cage's shadow again. Wandelweiser's interpretation could easily be mistaken for a realisation of Cage's Four4 or Four6. Worse still, they emulated the wrong idea of John Cage – a conceptualist, a philosopher – and not John Cage the musician. Christian Wolff the musician was not present.

I've seen him play twice before. The last time was an improvised duet with Jennifer Walshe which turned out to be a bit of a mess, like they were trying out lots of ideas without ever getting settled. The first time was him just sawing away on his violin over a tape, or a drone, I forget. It was that kind of capital-M Musicianship that I can admire without really getting into, sort of like Terry Riley at the keyboard. It's great that they know how to spiel like that, but I wish I knew in advance which bits were going to be worth paying attention to.
This time, however, it all came together. Playing violin in his typical harsh, strident tone over looped samples of himself that he could cue in an out as needed, or a low drone created by striking a monochord with a piano hammer, he traversed the set of harmonies that resonated above the drone's bass frequency. Occasionally, he would cut away the drone and break the comfortable sense of continuity. The tone changed and a new structural point in the piece would emerged – this was aided by his ability to select passages of his own playing to be looped as a base on which to build a new section. As he progressed he moved towards the smaller, more discordant intervals in the upper reaches of the harmonic series and the music's tension built accordingly.
After another shift in attitude, bowing pedal tones on loose strings hanging off his instrument's bridge, he returned to bowing in a different intonation. His tuning became more esoteric, playing unfamiliar scales further away from conventional harmony. By the end of his piece he had moved us away into a strange, bittersweet territory of tones that required us to readjust our hearing to a new order of harmonic relationships above the recurring drone. This is what I want to hear when I hear someone who can spiel: not just an unerring sense of what sounds good, but a sense of structure, of a meaning that goes beyond its own craft.

Finally someone's paying attention to this doctor's advice.
"Contemporary music is not the music of the future nor the music of the past but simply music present with us: this moment, now, this now moment."
– John Cage, Composition as Process, 1958.
"The mainstream public didn't really know about them that much. They were a very minor group in that aspect."
– Doug Yule, interview, 1995.
It's a truism that the Velvet Underground were really obscure and unpopular when they were a going concern, isn't it? Later in that Yule interview, he mentions touring the UK in 1972 as The Velvet Underground and no-one noticing or caring that the band had none of the original members from the first two LPs.
The wonderful Other Minds Archive has posted a recording of the world premiere of John Cage's composition 33 1/3, at the University of California at Davis on 21 November, 1969. The composition is Cage at his most anarchic: the audience was invited to a room with no performers, no seating, 24 record players, several hundred records, and no instructions. The punters soon get the idea, and a 40-minute collage of simultaneous musics and audience noises ensues.
I'm trying to remember where I read that interview with Cage about the piece, the one where he talks about acquiring the records. He contacted a record distributor and asked for a random selection of different titles. The wholesaler, as you might expect, sent several crateloads of their slowest-selling albums. Cage cheerfully recalls that by the end of the gig a number of records had gone missing, having finally found a happy home with someone in the crowd.
In the Other Minds recording, several minutes into the tentative start of 33 1/3, comes the unmistakeable sound of side 2 of The Velvet Underground and Nico. It's much louder than anything else. After a couple of minutes it suddenly disappears, only to reappear again soon after, from the top. This time it gets all the way through "Heroin" and "There She Goes Again" before it's suddenly snatched away again, never to return. I wonder what was happening around that record player for those 15 minutes, and whether that album found a new owner that night.

I read these books years ago before they were removed from the stores. Listening to them now just makes the story seem more alive.

I have read almost everything Patricia Briggs has written. So far I have not found a story that I didn't like. "Raven's Strike" is a great story and one that I will read again soon.
"Kitty Raises Hell"
All of Carrie Vaughn's books are really good. I already have all of the print books and am now collecting them on audio. I drive a lot for work and these stories help the day fly by.

Then, board the state-of-the-art Shotover Jet — an agile, high-speed motorboat that can reach speeds of nearly 50 miles per hour — and hold on tight as you are whisked away across the lagoon performing 360 degree spins and hair pin turns..
After your approximate 30-minute ride, you will visit the
Chapel of Peace and Cliff Divers Show of La Quebrada or the Zocalo which is Acapulco's main square and Cathedral. Only the 10 AM and 5 PM tours visit the cliff divers show because of dive times.
