America's last World War I Veteran dies at 110
By UltimaRatioReg
Frank Buckles, the last surviving American veteran of the First World War, has died just weeks after his 110th birthday. Born 1 February 1901, Buckles had lied about his age to join the Ambulance Corps, where he served on the Western Front. He was one of nearly 5 million Americans who would serve in that war, a war in which 118,000 US servicemen would be killed in action in a little over seven months of combat.
Between the wars, Buckles found himself in the Philippines, where, in 1941, he was captured as a civilian by the Japanese. He spent three years as a prisoner of the Japanese before being freed. Read the rest of the story here.
And so America's participation in the Great War, the unprecedented slaughter which perhaps more than any event still shapes Western consciousness, passes from the vivid color of eyewitness recollections of her veterans, into the sepia-toned images that populate the pages of history.
God rest the soul of Frank Buckles. His comrades await his presence no longer.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — An American Airlines jet with 183 passengers aboard returned to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport after flames were seen in one of the Boeing 757's two engines.
The incident began about 2 p.m. Thursday shortly after American Flight 2287 took off from DFW for Tulsa, Oklahoma. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford says the crew declared an emergency when flames were seen in the right engine. The jet landed safely at 2:07 p.m. with no injuries and without further incident.
American spokeswoman My-Linh Bui (MYE'-lihn BOO'-wee) said only that the incident was caused by "a maintenance issue." All passengers were rebooked onto another aircraft and arrived in Tulsa about 5:30 p.m., about three hours behind schedule.

Research by Taubman Scholar Dr. Arul Chinnaiyan leads to new early test for prostate cancer
U-M offers new early detection test for prostate cancer
Mi-Prostate Score test improves on PSA for predicting cancer
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — More than 1 million men will undergo a prostate biopsy this year, but only about one-fifth of those biopsies will result in a cancer diagnosis.
The reason is that the traditional prostate cancer screening test – a blood test to measure prostate specific antigen, or PSA – does not give doctors a complete picture.
Now, the University of Michigan Health System has begun offering a new urine test called Mi-Prostate Score to improve on PSA screening for prostate cancer. The test incorporates three specific markers that could indicate cancer and studies have shown that the combination is far more accurate than PSA alone.
"Many more men have elevated PSA than actually have cancer but it can be difficult to determine this without biopsy. We need new tools to help patients and doctors make better decisions about what to do if serum PSA is elevated. Mi-Prostate Score helps with this," says Scott Tomlins, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of pathology and urology at the University of Michigan.
Researchers validated the new test on nearly 2,000 urine samples. Mi-Prostate Score, or MiPS, was significantly more accurate than PSA alone for predicting cancer as well as predicting aggressive prostate cancer that is likely to grow and spread quickly.
Mi-Prostate Score developed from a discovery in the lab of Arul Chinnaiyan, M.D., Ph.D., in 2005 of a genetic anomaly that occurs in about half of all prostate cancers, an instance of two genes changing places and fusing together.
This gene fusion, T2:ERG, is believed to cause prostate cancer. Studies in prostate tissues show that the gene fusion almost always indicates cancer.
The new urine test looks for the T2:ERG fusion as well as another marker, PCA3. This is combined with serum PSA measure to produce a risk assessment for prostate cancer. The test also predicts risk for having an aggressive tumor, helping doctors and patients make decisions about whether to wait and monitor test levels or pursue immediate biopsy.
"This combination test is not designed to say definitively at diagnosis whether a man has aggressive prostate cancer, but it can provide a more accurate estimate of the likelihood of having cancer and the likelihood of that cancer being aggressive," Tomlins says.
The test is available to anyone but requires a request from a doctor. For further information, call the University of Michigan's MLabs at 800-862-7284.
Prostate cancer statistics: 238,590 Americans will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year and 29,720 will die from the disease, according to the American Cancer Society
Disclosure: The University of Michigan has been issued a patent on the detection of ETS gene fusions in prostate cancer, on which Tomlins and Chinnaiyan are listed as co-inventors. The diagnostic field of use has been licensed to Hologic. Chinnaiyan has served as a consultant to Hologic.

Best New Destination for Candy Addicts (2005)
Enstrom's Almond Toffee
Enstrom's Almond Toffee, arguably Grand Junction's greatest gift to the planet, has had a shop in Cherry Creek North for years. But the company recently moved to a larger space a few doors down. There's now a full-fledged coffee bar, an adjacent Internet-cafe area, and a much broader selection of ice cream, chocolates and other sinful snacks. Yet the store also retains all of the features that have kept fans coming back, including a sample tray of almond toffee that's always temptingly in view. Your waistline may expand just by looking at it, but what a way to grow.

While fearsome and dramatic, humanity has little to fear from the more ferocious creatures of the animal kingdom. According to a recent study, sharks kill only 10 people annually, 100 people are felled by lions, crocodiles chow down on people about 1,000 times a year - it is the tiny pest mosquito that kills most of humanity for by its dispensation of illness and disease.

Ed Mann has recently been in touch with me regarding my post from last week on 'Zappa and Censorship'. He has informed me that my post seems to have been totally taken out of context on some discussion forums/Facebook sites. Although I have not personally seen any of these dialogues, I want to take this opportunity to try and be as clear as possible about my own position. Firstly, I unreservedly do not condone any 'anti Gail' or anti Zappa Family Trust verbal attacks, especially when they are undertaking abusively. I think the paper I wrote on the Zappa Family Trust a few years ago has been misquoted as being anti ZFT – but it is certainly not – it is simply a statement of the facts as I saw them. Although I disagree completely with the notion of withholding permission to perform Zappa's Music, I do so without holding any personal grudge. The last thing I would want is for me to be responsible in any way for painting a negative slant on Frank Zappa's legacy. I love his music – and I am grateful to the people who deliver it to us – namely the Zappa Family Trust. Over the last decade, I have attempted to celebrate this man's music by trying to heighten his presence in the academic community. I certainly do not want to be associated with any hate inspired abusive comments. I am therefore appealing to everyone to engage in debate, but without resorting to hate. I apologise unreservedly if anything I have posted has caused any upset. This certainly was not my intension.

My post the other week about doing a Frank Zappa talk as part of the forthcoming Frank Zappa music festival in Bangor has just taken an unexpected and very disappointing twist. The festival organisers have been told by the Zappa Family Trust, that if I or the Muffin Men partake in the festival – they will not be given permission to play his music! So – I have been told that I can't do my talk – and I presume the Muffin Men have been informed they can't perform! On top of a similar situation I had with the 200 Motels at the Southbank last year (where I was asked to write the programme notes for the concert) – it appears that I too, for whatever reason, am being told that I cannot discuss issues relating essentially to freedom of speech. The great irony in this is that the paper that I presume is causing the problem – is actually a tribute to a man who I consider to be one of the greatest composers of living times. Although some people have viewed it as 'anti' Zappa Family Trust – in actual fact it is exactly the opposite. Either way – it is a shame that anyone/body has the power to impact the creative decisions of venues and festival organisers. I for one, am pleased that my research has moved on to other areas.

I have been discussing melodic and harmonic analysis with my students over the last few weeks. As a random exercise – we thought it would be useful to consider how some of these techniques are incorporated into the top 10. Although it is difficult to closely consider the vertical aspect of a melody without an instrument (or great ears), it is relatively easily consider the horizontal. The general conclusion was that much of the music we managed to listened to is divided into either 2 or 4 bar question/answer phases – sometimes fluctuating between the two. Is is also interesting to consider how the interest of the piece is perpetuated when the melody and harmony is seemingly predictable – the interest has to come from somewhere: arrangement, lyrics and production being the main culprits. Many of the students also noted that it was problematic to analyse music they did not 'like'. This resulted in a discussion surround how far a musician has to compromise in order to make a living out of music!!
What I have documented below are just a few notes of that were discussed – they require far more time to result in a comprehensive analysis – so feel free to add observations.
'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson: Makes use of lots of direct repetition or rhythmic sequence for question phrase – answer phrase. The harmonic sequence is so simple there would be no need to analyse – but lots could be said about the production.
'Thinking Out Loud'. The opening phrase of the verse is very close to 'direct repetition' between question phrase and answer phrase. However the subtle change makes the classification 'rhythmic sequence (See previous posts to understand what this means). The refrain section (2nd section of verse) doubles the length of the question phrase. It is interesting to consider how expectation is set up in the listener – we sort of know what will happen before it happens – the sign of a good pop song! Interestingly – songs like 'Wish You Were Mine' play around with the expectations of the listener – as it is difficult to know exactly when a particular section (the verse) is coming to an end until you are more familiar with the song.
These pieces were not closely analysed as we only had time for one listen to all ten songs – but it is clear that the same sort of melodic formulas that were used to write popular song 50 years ago – are still used today – but not all of the time! Some of the dance related tracks, which rely so heavily on repetition sometimes break some of the traditional 'rules'. As previously stated – once my Sting book is finished – this is an area I will be investigating further – toward the end of the year.

After last weeks post on Horizontal melodic analysis – here are a few thoughts I am discussing with students regarding the vertical dimension. Although there any many ways I have considered this through the years – I have condensed it down to the following
Chord Tones: (CT) – short or long duration: Essentially notes in the chord
Colour Tones: (ct) ( most common 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, Sharp 11th) Usually long in duration – although what 'long' means depends on the tempo of the music we are listening to. For example a quarter note could be considered 'long' if the tempo is slow enough.
Passing Tones : ( Not chord tones and Always Short). Consists of two types:
Accented Passing Tones (APT) On the Beat
Unaccented Passing Tones (UPT) Off the Beat
Like last week's horizontal techniques – all of this provides tension and release. It is not suggested that any songwriter composes their music from 'rules' – but that techniques such as these are a useful starting point for understanding what established songwriters do – in addition to fine tuning music we have written which may not sound very 'balanced'. Regarding these vertical techniques – it is apparent that Colour tones and to a lesser extent accented/unaccented passing notes provide Tension, Chord tones provide the Release. If a song has too much release it has the potential to sound boring – and if it has too much tension it has the capacity to sound 'uncommercial' (notice I use the word potential).
Phillip Tagg recently hosted a conference that calls for more 'music' to be placed popular music studies – so the question I am asking – in what ways can we use relatively formulistic ideas such as these – to cross over to the ways in which music links to culture and society?? I am interested in any ideas.

During the course of this year we are encouraging students to 'frame' their musical performances in various ways – in ways in which they feel fits the music they perform. This includes actually being responsible for not only the set design – but also the video recording and editing – not to mention the playing. Here are a few examples of some of the very early work that is taking place – I will update future developments later. This is based on a belief that in the current market place – young people entering the industry need to not only get the content loaded on to social media sites such as you tube – but also to ensure that the content is not only performed well – but also looks good visually. The emphasis on this is NO Miming – so it all needs to be played live.

This weeks musicology lecture examined ways in which it is possible to analyse popular music melody – specifically from a horizontal perspective. I think this is an area that is under represented in popular music analysis – so here is some terminology you may find useful.
Some of the terminology is well know, although much of it are considerations of my own that I have developed over the years. To begin with – I have found the following techniques/descriptors to be useful for analysing melody.
- Motif: The smallest self contained unit that has recognisable shape, or contour.
- Question Phrase: A musical statement – Often 2 or 4 bars long – that usually requires completion
- Answer Phrase: The 2nd phrase of the 'Sentence'. Although not a 'rule', often sounds like it is resolving. Sometimes called the 'answer'.
- Sentence: This is the Answer Phrase and Question Phrase combined
- Sections: This is when the above is grouped together to form what most of us call 'Verses' and 'Choruses'
Once we are familier with what the above sound like – the next thing to consider is how repetition occurs. So for example
- How does the 'Answer Phrase 1' compare to the 'Question Phrase 1'?
- How does 'Answer Phase 2' relate to 'Question Phase 2'?
- How does Question Phrase 1 compare to Question Phrase 2?
- How does 'Sentence 1' compare to 'Sentence 2'?
- How Does Section 1 compare to Section 2, etc.
Techniques could include
Rhythmic Sequence:
¨Where the melody is different but the rhythm is the same. This can be between question – answer phrases or sentences. For Example
¨'Good Stuff: Donald Fagen
¨Black Chandelier: Buffy Clyro
¨Whitney Houston 'Run to You' (Chorus) 1:00
Note: Sometimes these repetitions are not exact – if not – you can label 'near' before the name. IE 'Near Rhythmic Sequence'.
Tonal Sequence
¨The rhythm and melody between question -answer phrases or sentences are identical to earlier material, but up or down a predetermined pitch.
¨This occurs at the level of the Sentence in –
¨Mozart: Theme from 40th Symphony!
¨Van Halen: 'You Really Got Me'
¨Antonio Carlos Jobim 'Girl From Ipanema' (Chorus) 0:38
Elbow 'One Day Like This'
Direct Repetition
¨When the melody and rhythm of an answer phrase is identical to the 'question', or between sentences.
¨For example the first two phrases of most Blues songs
¨'My Man Called Me' Big Mamma Thornton
¨'Off The Wall' Lee Ranaldo
Rhythmic Displacement
¨When the answering phrase is identical to the question, but commences on a different beat.
¨This is a more advanced technique and is not particularly common in popular music
¨See examples below –
¨Cannonball Adderley 'Straight No Chaser' and 'Fascinating Rhythm'
Contextual Placement
¨When the melody is identical but the harmony changes.
¨For example: The First 8 bars of most blues songs –
¨'Hound Dog' Big Mamma Thornton
¨Antonio Carlos Jobim: 'One Note Samba'
¨Antonia Carlos Jobim: 'Girl From Ipanema' (Verse)
¨Thin Lizzy 'Whisky in the Jar'
New Material
¨Where the answering phrase consists of entirely new material
¨The Beatles: 'Hey Jude'
¨Bobby Vinton: 'Blue Velvet'
¨Suzanne Vega 'Luka'
¨Take That 'A Million Love Songs'
¨No Audio – but also –
¨Joe Cocker 'With a Little Help From My Friends'
¨Patsy Cline 'Crazy'
¨Feist 'The Water'
¨Whitney Houston 'Run to You' (Verse)
¨Sting 'Dead Man's Boots'
I am interested in other examples – please post here as opposed to Facebook etc

Tool makers may perform a variety of duties depending on their position and employer. Some tool maker positions involve only stamping out tools with machine, while others include working with design software and 3D modeling to come up with solutions to solve technical problems (such as components for aircraft and other vehicles). The ability to read blueprints and create tools is essential for this job. Some positions require working on a team to provide input for new products that will improve the company or field operations. Another part of the job is repairing tools and troubleshooting current tools if they are not working well.Read More...
The tool maker may be presented with a budget and have to purchase supplies and design effective tools within this budget. The tool maker also carries out tests when the tools are produced to make sure that they can withstand their intended use. A tool maker should keep up with the latest developments in the field in order to have an edge over the competition in improving current operations.
Training and education in tool making may be necessary for these positions, along with experience in the field. Math skills are important, as the tool maker performs calculations for accurate tool measurements, fits, and reactions to temperatures. For positions with fewer duties, specific education and experience may not be required; however, for more advanced positions, a postsecondary degree and technical schooling may be needed.
Professional skills reported by Tool Makers are few in number. CNC/NC and Precision Machining are considered valuable skills and can increase employee pay by 11 percent and 4 percent, respectively. It is not unusual for someone who knows CNC/NC to be familiar with Precision Machining as well.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Tool Makers with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. Survey participants with less than five years' experience report a median income of $40K, and earnings aren't much higher for respondents who have five to 10 years under their belts; respondents in the latter group report a median of just $41K. For Tool Makers, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $47K. Tool Makers who have acquired more than two decades of experience generally do see greater compensation; their average income is approximately $54K.

Tamera Mowry - Tamera Mowry-housley Suffered Bullying Over Interracial Marriage
Picture: Tamera Mowry-Housley - TV Guide Magazine's Annual Hot List Party held at The Emerson Theatre - Arrivals - Los Angeles, CA, United States - Monday...
Actress Tamera Mowry-Housley has opened up about the bullying she has been subjected to over her interracial marriage since tying the knot to newsman Adam Housley in 2011.
The former Sister, Sister star, who is biracial herself, reveals she has been left shocked and hurt by the cruel comments some critics have made about her family life in the last few years, and she cannot understand their ignorance.
Speaking on a new episode of U.S. Tv show Oprah: Where Are They Now?, she said, "It's hurtful, because my husband and I are so openly fine with showing love, but people choose to look past love and spew hate. That's what hurts me because I've never experienced so much hate in my life...
"My mum is a beautiful black woman and my dad is an amazing white man, and I grew up seeing a family. I didn't grow up saying, 'Oh, that's a white man.'"
Mowry-Housley gave birth to the couple's first child, son Aden, in 2012.

Knight Rider To Ride Again 243
from the how-much-can-you-be-disappointed-lets-find-out dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
What car will they be using as KITT?
Toyota Prius, it's also being renamed to 'Eco Rider'. It'll be like Knight Rider, but more environmentally conscious. The car will also be blatantly homosexual, saying things like: 'Ooooh, I hope he planted a tree to offset those carbon emmissions!' when one of the bad guys appears in a big truck or tank.
To appeal to minorities, 'The Hoff' will be replaced by an Asian lesbian, wearing a Burka, in a wheelchair. Don't worry though, the wheelchair will be capable of speeds of up to 50mph, has scythes in the wheels and machine guns in the arm rests.
Hey, maybe they can have a reality show to see who gets the part of Knight Rider?
*crosses finger*
Quit the army? They were sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. Then they promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.
I'm also told that for quite some time, still wanted by the government, they survived as soldiers of fortune. And that if you had a problem, if no-one else could help, and if you could find them, maybe you could have hired the A-Team.
And because of global warming, they should consider using a small economical car rather than a great big racy gas-guzzler - say something like a Volkswagen Beetle.
And because the VW Beetle isn't known for its speed, they should paint it white and put a big racing stripe down the whole length of the car and a number, say a "53", to make it look like it's just been in a race!
And then... oh wait.
Yes, we will be going to OSI, Mars, and Pluto, but not necessarily in that order. -- Jeffrey Honig

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top U.S. arms buyer said he was dissatisfied with cost overruns in the United Technologies Corp (UTX.N) Pratt & Whitney engine powering the multinational F-35 fighter jet.
But Ashton Carter, undersecretary of defense for acquisition, voiced confidence in the engine and repeated Pentagon opposition to funding an alternative being developed by General Electric Co (GE.N) and Britain's Rolls-Royce Plc (RR.L).
"I'm not happy, as I am with so many parts of all our programs, with (the P&W engine's) cost performance so far," Carter told the House of Representatives Appropriations subcommittee on defense on Wednesday. "We need to drive the costs down."
At stake is potential engine business that the Government Accountability Office, Congress's audit arm, puts at $62 billion in 2002 dollars. The Project on Government Oversight reckons that this equals about $75 billion in 2010 dollars.
The Pentagon ordered GE and Rolls-Royce to stop building the alternate engine last month, but the companies said they would spend their own money to keep it alive. The Pentagon has sought for five years to kill the engine as an economy measure. A close vote in the House in February seemed to spell an end to the project.
Carter, in reply to a question from Representative Norm Dicks, a Washington Democrat, said costs were growing too fast for both the engine and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft, being built by Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N). The air frame's cost overruns were proportionately higher than the engine's, Carter added. Pratt & Whitney had no immediate comment.
Representative Jim Moran, a Virginia Democrat, told Carter that the GE-Rolls Royce alternate engine, known as the F136, is "not a dead issue."
"It still has substantial support," Moran said. Separately, Moran told Reuters that Representative Howard McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, would seek to renew the alternate engine's funding in the House's version of the fiscal 2012 defense spending bill.
A spokesman for McKeon, a California Republican, could not immediately confirm plans to put funding back.
"However, it is no secret that Chairman McKeon believes that funding the F136 engine would provide for greater accountability, better performance, and lower costs over the life of the Joint Strike Fighter program," the spokesman, Josh Holly, said in an email.
The Pentagon calculates it would cost $2.9 billion more to develop the alternate engine so it could compete against Pratt & Whitney's, which powers early F-35 production models.
"Our analysis does not show the payback," Carter told the panel. He added that "people of good will come to different conclusions on this issue."

Time for Eddie Murphy to watch his back! His ex-wife Nicole and ex-girlfriend Melanie Brown just happened to have a lunch date with each other yesterday at the most photographed celeb hangout in LA – The Ivy. In what was surely a calculated move, the babymamas brought along Zahra, Eddie's youngest daughter from his first marriage, and Angel, his baby daughter with the Spice Girl. The meet and greet and eat came just a day after Mel and her lawyer announced that they were suing Eddie's butt for some child support cash. It's serious business when the exes join forces to gang up on a former flame, so Eddie better look out. There's no underestimating the strength of GIRL POWER! [People. Images: Getty]
Fiddy: Lil' Kim is Dude-ish
In the August issue of Sister 2 Sister, (aka, the best magazine evarrrrr!) 50 Cent touches on his years-old beef with Lil' Kim. He clears the air about as well as an AK-47, first proclaiming that there isn't any beef and then proceeding to insult her. He's always into something! Says Fiddy:
"I don't have beef with her. She just had bad people around her. I think when a woman presents herself as a woman, she deserves special treatment. And then when she get beside — when it's, 'F*** that!' then it gets different. Then I start feeling like she's a man. So she gets the same treatment that you would treat a guy that was being disrespectful."
50 never reveals exactly what that "treatment" is, and interviewtrix Jamie Foster Brown doesn't ask. Maybe she was too scared to? [Sister 2 Sister / Image credit: Getty]
Video: Fan Yanks Tim McGraw's Ring
Apparently Tim McGraw has got that "special something" that drives fans to totally violate his personal space. Earlier this week video surfaced of a lady-fan grabbing his junk (followed by a serious verbal beatdown from his wife Faith Hill), and now there's a new clip of an audience member accidentally grabbing a ring off his hand during a concert. Tim, like his wife, doesn't stand for it, and stops singing to continuously demand his jewels back. Maybe McGraw needs to put up some sort of barrier between himself and the audience when he performs – that'll give Faith some time to teach 'em all about class!
Oh No They Didn't: Friday's Reviews Rage
Every week we round up selections from the funniest, most obscene and brutal film criticism out there so that you don't waste your cash at the theaters and laugh a little at Hollywood's expense. This week: El Cantante is the story of Hector Lavoe, the king of salsa, brought to the big screen by real-life married couple Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. You'd think, seeing how they're married, there'd be some chemistry on screen. But no, apparently chemistry costs too much.
"Four years ago, Jennifer Lopez paired up to star in a film with then-boyfriend Ben Affleck, and the result was the famously incompetent Gigli. Apparently she didn't learn her lesson back then." — The Newark Star Ledger
"Worse . . . Jennifer Lopez tries to make the film about her; miscast as Lavoe's missus, Puchi, Lopez hides behind aging makeup that makes her look like Bebe Neuwirth." — The Village Voice
I Hate My Fridays (I Hate My 30s Recap)
In last night's installment of I Hate My 30s, things went to hell in a handbasket when Mandy was invited to one of her former sorority sisters' wedding — and didn't have a date. She's a free-spirit, seemingly immune to the yearning felt by colleagues like Carol. (In case you didn't see last week's episode, Carol started to worry her eggs would dry up and fall out of her like fossilized dinosaur eggs. You had to be there.)In order to save face, Mandy asked Kyle, the office's perpetually positive postal person (read: mail jockey), to join her. Kyle's platonic roommate Katie, however, is an obsessive type, and quickly became jealous. Hilarity ensued. We thought it would be good to check in with Mandy and Kyle to get their take on love and life after 30. Interviews follow the jump.

Britney's Parenting Bashed by Mags
Wow. This week's covers of Life & Style and Us Weekly are practically identical. Who knew Sean and Jayden were old enough to say "Mama," much less command help? And just what are the tots so upset about? According to US, Britney shoves bottles of juice in her babies' mouths, causing some major teeth yellowin'. Brit's solution? A source alleges that the pop star, "asked an L.A. dentist if he would whiten her kid's teeth!"
Life & Style's report is no better. Apparently Brit chain smokes in front of her boys, and "when Brit misplaces her pack of cigarettes, she'll actually turn to Sean and say, 'Baby, where are Mama's lollipops?'" says a source. "Sean runs, gets her cigarettes and brings them back to her."
Give these kids to K-Fed! Hell, give them to that other dude Britney married in Vegas back in 2004. Brit's not yet a girl, a woman, or a good mother. These two boys are gonna be the Nick and Aaron Carters of 2025, complete with tribal arm band tattoos and a reality TV show. Thanks Mommy! [Images: Us Weekly, Life & Style]

Brit vs. Posh: LA's Latest Girl Feud
Now here is a fight we'd like to see – crazy ol' weave-wearing Britney Spears vs. stonefaced stick figure Posh Beckham. Please, Hollywood gods, let it happen! Apparently Posh is making a bad rep for herself in LA, where she recently pissed off the private peeps at the Chateau Marmont by informing the paparazzi of what time she'd be arriving at the celeb-friendly hotel. Last week Britney turned up to hang at the hot spot, but left when she was told the only table available was next to the Spice Girl. Ouch! If you're getting dissed by Britney Spears, you know something's up. Maybe she was just worried the couture-clad Posh would call the fashion police on her. Feud on, ladies, feud on! [NY Daily News.

Confidence Interval Calculator
Our confidence interval calculator can help show you the reliability of an estimate for a sample. A confidence interval can be explained as an estimate or a range of values that determine the accuracy and reliability of an estimate. This term is used in statistics and shows the confidence an estimate of a population will be accurate. This means that if the confidence interval is 90% for a given data set then the the values should be accurate and contain the unknown value for the entire population 90% of the time.
In confusing terms, the confidence interval is an estimate of the accuracy of the estimate provided through the sample size of a given population. This interval can be used to estimate the accuracy of your data.
To use the confidence interval calculator simply enter the sample size used to collect data along with the actual population number. Enter the percentage and select the confidence level you are using. Our calculator will determine the confidence interval for you.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hilton Garden Inn Valencia Six Flags
Great location for Six Flags visitors
This is a nice hotel with a clean room, decent price, and close in proxsimity to Six Flags, Valencie. While the hotel was nice we were not impressed at all with Six Flags. It was dirty, hot, and had extremely over-priced food. We had just come from DisneyLand, so possibly this led to our dissapointment. I would definitly recommend checking out another theme-park before coming to visit this one, but if you do the Hilton is a nice place to stay for about $120 a night.
Perfect location for Magic Mountain trip
We just spent a night (11/7) at the Garden Inn after a Cheer competition at Magic Mountain. The hotel is very clean and comfortable BUT there is major construction happening on the freeway right behind the Inn and its being done primarily at night. It sounded like a helicopter was landing in the parking lot every time the jackhammers started up making it tough to sleep. We put the fan system on and that covered most of the noise..wasn't bad for one night but it would get old if you were staying longer. Other than that it was perfect and we will probably stay there again when visiting Magic Mountain.
Good value & very convenient for six flags
We stayed here in late August . Hotel staff were helpful. Very well located for six flags we were able to nip back to hotel for a swim mid afternoon and go back to park for more fun in afternoon. Would stay again.
An excellent hotel for 6 flags
we stayed here for one night for 1 reason only we were going to 6 flags. but note the bus only runs for 2 hours in the mornig and 2 hours at night. that said however it took us about 30 mins and we walk slowly to get inside the park so we didn't really mind. there's a resturant in the hotel but it's sort of cheap and cheerful we did eat there and it was ok but nothing special. i must say then staff were great from start to finish. at check in we were given buy one get one free card for six flags which saved us $50 and i was really ill in the night the next morning i had to go to a phamacy and the hotel staff helped us out a lot with directions and things. the rooms are large with microwave and fridge as standard. overall a nice stay and ideal for 6 flags.
Nice hotel, but bad experience with staff
My family and I stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn from August 1, 2004 to August 4, 2004. The room was nice, the beds were comfortable, housekeeping was thorough, and you can't beat the location if you're heading to Six Flags (which we were). But, I felt misled by the staff and wanted to pass a warning on to others. The main reason we chose the Hilton was because it offered a shuttle to the park. With daily parking at $8.00, this was a significant incentive. Plus, the shuttle offered an easy way to get back and forth (I figured we might want to leave the park during the busy time of the day and then return later). When I called to make our reservation (and this was at the hotel, not through central reservations), I specifically asked about the shuttle and was told that it ran on the half-hour. When we got to the hotel, I learned the real truth. The shuttle only runs for 2 hours in the morning, and 2 hours at night, and they charge $2.00 per person. So, not only can you not come and go at ease (you're basically stranded at the park the entire day, which is not an entirely bad thing but something to know), with a family of 4 it's a wash against the price to park. When I raised the issue with the staff at the hotel, they were not at all helpful. I found this odd for a Hilton property. You would expect that if a guest has a problem, the response would be "how can we make it up to you?" (and it would not have been a difficult thing to do). But instead I was told only that the issue would be raised at the next staff meeting. Ouch. I expect that on our next visit to Six Flags we will stay at a different hotel which, though it may not have a shuttle, will at least take proper care of its guests.
Romance package review
We received a gift certificate for the Romance package at the Hilton Garden Inn in Valencia. Included was to be champange, chocolates, breakfast for 2 and bath amenities.
I booked the room in advance. After receiving my confirmation I confirmed it was for the Romance package. I was told that they didn't realize that and would correct it in the booking.
We went to check in yesterday and they did not have us down for the romance package. Not a big deal. The person checking us in asks when we want our champange to which we say 8:30. We go to our room and open the door and a wave of smoke smell comes from it. We are supposed to be in a non smoking room.
We go back to the front desk and were told that it was a non smoking room, but sometimes these things happen and they changed our room. No biggie. It was worth a few laughs since it's a free stay.
8:45 rolls around and no champange. We call the front desk and ask. There was no notice in the system for it, although the lady that checked us in wrote it on a piece of paper. After a few minutes of explaining to the front desk what the romance package stated came with the room they finally said they would bring the champange. We also reminded them of the chocolates.
9:20 the champange arrives with a nice little bag of bath stuff. No chocolates. No reason why as well.
The hotel wasn't very nice in a romantic setting, with a loud party going on downstairs, we decided to just head home.
When checking out that evening, the front desk had booked another couple in a smoking room instead of a non. The lady at the desk rolled her eyes at the guest after he walked away. They couldn't give us a receipt for checking out and when asked about the chocolates we were just told they didn't have any. No sorry, nothing.
All I can say is at least it was free. I wouldn't pay to stay there. I guess it is fine for families wanting to stay next to Magic Mountain. Just know that some of the non smoking rooms do smell a lot like smoke.
Best Service Ever!
The service at the Hilton was the friendliest and most helpful that I have ever recieved! The people at the check in counter were able to answer all our questions about directions for area attractions and resturants. Room service was fast and reasonably priced with generouse helpings. The wait staff in the dining room was very accomidating. The building its self is beautiful with two inner court yards one for dinning the other containing the pool and spa. The atmosphere is very cozy with southwestern style architecture. the hotel is also located just seconds away from Six Flags Magic Mountain, which makes this location great for families and those young at heart.
Friendly and Cozy
I stayed here about 9 months ago with a small group from my school. The hotel lobby was very cozy and had a beautiful fireplace in the middle.
We arrived from Honolulu at about 6AM, jet-lagged, sleepy and freezing.
Check-in wasn't for a few hours so we decided to have breakfast at the hotel. After our delicious breakfast we still had quite a bit of time to kill so we lounged in the comfy sofas and around the fire. The staff was gracious enough to get us into our rooms before the official check-in time. The rooms were a very generous size and the decor was nice and cozy. I had a very nice and comfortable stay there and hope to return again one day!
Nice hotel, but beware of children
This is a very nice newer facility with large, clean rooms and a friendly staff. It's the closest hotel to Magic Mountain, and as such, also the busiest. We stayed here during a peak vacation period, and there were LOTS of kids also staying here for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in our stay because we had quite a rowdy group of teens who constantly ran up and down the hallway all night, yelling and slamming doors. Even after calling the front desk and having security come up to ask them to quiet down, they kept us awake until well after 2am. I have no complaints about the hotel itself, but I wouldn't stay here again just because of how busy it is.
Ideal Hotel
We experienced EXCELLENT customer service at the front desk upon check-in and throughout our entire stay. As a meeting planner and traveler, it is rare these days to receive such top notch, personal service where the staff cares. The staff was very friendly, always willing to answer your questions or make a phone call for you. The hotel is conveniently located to Six Flags (with shuttle service available) and within walking distance of a couple of restaurants. Nice size rooms with vaulted ceilings, great pool and hot tub. First impressions are everything and my husband and I would definitely stay there again if we are ever in the area again.
