Roughly 60 miles south of Canada, the 88,000-acre Scotchman Peaks roadless area spans the Idaho-Montana border. Since the 1970s, when the U.S. Forest Service carried out extensive evaluations of lands suitable for wilderness, this rugged, scenic and biologically diverse portion of the Cabinet Mountains has been managed for its wilderness potential. The Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness is working to ensure permanent protection for the 88,000-acre Scotchman Peaks – one of the last and largest wild areas in the region – for the benefit of future generations.

Six Pack of Pop: Busch only turns left on horses as well
May 03, 2011, Joe Menzer, NASCAR.com
Kyle Busch, winner of last Saturday's Crown Royal presents the Matthew and Daniel Hansen 400 at Richmond International Raceway, answered this week's six questions after recently riding into uptown Charlotte, N.C., on a horse to promote this month's Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "I've ridden a few times. I haven't done it a whole lot, but it's fun for me. I know how to make it go, turn and stop. Luckily, all I had to do was turn left. And it's pretty easy to turn left." --KYLE BUSCH 1. Any reservations about dressing up like a cowboy and riding a horse? Busch: Actually, they were asking me all about that and I said, 'Well, I do have a cowboy's outfit. Do you want me to bring that?' So I brought it out and played the part. Plus I've got some cowboy hats from winning races at Texas Motor Speedway, so that's cool. I've got a stash of these things. I am a little surprised I still fit into the cowboy's outfit, though, because it's kind of old. It's from about three Halloweens ago. 2. Do you know anything about riding a horse? Busch: I've ridden a few times. I haven't done it a whole lot, but it's fun for me. I know how to make it go, turn and stop -- and that's about it. I'm not going to jump anything or do any tricks. Luckily, all I had to do was turn left. And it's pretty easy to turn left. 3. Can you talk about the All-Star Race, one of the few you have yet to win? Busch: Yeah, the All-Star Race is fun. It adds a neat aspect to the sport in general -- especially with all the other sports that have All-Star events, I think ours is a little bit more prestigious, a little bit more fun. And also a lot more challenging. Those guys go out there and just kind of play around a little bit. ... For us, it's guts-all-out. You've got a million bucks laying out there right in front of you, and you're doing all you can to try to bring home that check and trophy. 4. Are you surprised you've never won it, considering that style of racing seems to fit you? Busch: It does. I don't even think I've finished one yet. So I've got a problem even finishing those. They say it's the kind of race where you either bring home the check and trophy or just bring back the steering wheel. Well, so far all I've been able to do is bring back the steering wheel. 5. When did you get so comfortable in talking to a crowd without a script? Busch: I think it just evolved over time. In high school we would have to do projects where you had to get up and speak in front of the class, and I never really thought about it to where I got nervous or whatever. I think doing promotions or commercials or whatever, where you get to showcase a little of your personality or talents, is fun. Sometimes you have to ad-lib; you just wing it and let it go. 6. You came into this promotion wearing the white hat and playing the good guy who saves the day. What happened to Kyle Busch, the bad guy in the black hat? Busch [laughing]: "I'll play up whatever you feed me. There was a time when the bad guy fit, and it's an easy role to play. It's a lot easier to make people mad at you than it is to make people like you. I guess it's just time for something else. I've been here too long."

Eosinophil Cationic Protein (ECP) is sequentially and structurally similar to ribonuclease A (RNase A). It belongs to the RNase A family of proteins and the RNA catalysis is essential to its biological function. In the present study, we have generated the dinucleotide-bound structures of ECP by docking the dinucleotides to a number of molecular dynamics (MD) generated ECP structures. The stability of the docked enzyme-ligand complexes was ascertained by extensive MD simulations. The modes of ligand binding are explored by essential dynamics studies. The role of water molecules in the stability of the complex and in the catalysis was investigated. The active site residues form a complex network of connections with the ligand and with a water molecule. The catalytic mechanism of the RNA cleavage is examined on the basis of the active site geometry obtained by the simulations.

Summer is just around the corner and to celebrate warmer days, the Oregon Farmers' Markets Association (OFMA) invites everyone to experience exceptional local foods at one of more than 125 member farmers' markets around the state. An online market directory with location and individual market information is available at www.oregonfarmersmarkets.org to help plan a unique taste trip.
Locally, consider a trip to the eight year old Oregon City Farmers Market, a 55+ vendor market offering a diverse representation of the region's edible offerings. The summer market is opening Saturday May 5th, 9am-2pm, in the parking lot of Clackamas County's Public Services Building, 2051, Kaen Rd. off Beavercreek Rd.
The OSU Master Gardener 11 Week Food-Growing Course at the Market kicks off on Saturday May 12th with a "Starting your Veggie Garden" 30 min. workshop at 10am...for the full schedule go to the Market's web site or call 503 734-0192.
"The steady increase in farmers' markets operating around the country in the last ten years reflects a strong and growing interest in the culinary, social, monetary, and public health benefits of markets," said OFMA Board President Rebecca Landis. "Markets add value to local economies, create vibrant community gathering places, and bring diverse groups of people together. They offer a healthy, local alternative to the national and anonymous industrial food system."
To get the most out of market day, market regulars recommend bringing reusable bags and containers to stow items for the trip home, having small bills to streamline purchases, and being prepared to shop for produce in peak season for top notch quality at a range of prices that often beat less-local alternatives. Frequent market shoppers recommend new farmers' market shoppers pick up a new vegetable and ask the farmer who grew it for a recipe to try, or consider extending the season by buying in bulk to freeze, dry or can foods to last throughout the year.
Shoppers visiting the Oregon City Farmers Market this summer will be treated to chefs demos, food growing workshops given weekly by the Master Gardeners, food preservation demos and chicken-keeping workshops. The Market's nationally-recognized kids club, the POP Club continues this summer with support from Clackamas County Soil and Water Conservation District, Citizens Bank , Bobs Red Mill and On Point Community Credit Union . May 19 , the market is celebrating Food Revolution Day with a chef's demo and the Master Food Preservers enticing you to "Spring into Canning" , June 16th is the market's Green Fair.
In addition to offering the freshest, high quality food direct from the farm to consumers, the market offers musical entertainment, ready-to-eat foods and drinks, and ample opportunity to sample new foods and new recipes, and hands-on children's activities. The market is authorized to accept debit, credit, SNAP Oregon Trail, senior and WIC Farm Direct Nutrition Program vouchers, and WIC Fruit and Veggie Vouchers.

nn {RANN} | R Documentation |
Uses a kd-tree to find the p number of near neighbours for each point in an input/output dataset. The advantage of the kd-tree is that it runs in O(M log M) time.
nn(data, mask=rep.int(1, times=ncol(data)-1), p=min(10,nrow(data))) nn2(data, query, k=min(10,nrow(data)),treetype=c("kd","bd"), searchtype=c("standard","priority","radius"),radius=0.0,eps=0.0)
data |
An input-output dataset. FOR nn THE OUTPUT MUST BE IN THE RIGHT MOST COLUMN OF A DATA FRAME OR MATRIX. nn2 uses ALL columns. |
query |
nn2: A set of points that will be queried against data - must have same number of columns. |
mask |
nn: A vector of 1's and 0's representing input inclusion/exclusion. The default mask is all 1's (i.e. include all inputs in the test). |
p |
nn:The maximum number of near neighbours to compute. The default value is set to 10. |
k |
nn2:The maximum number of near neighbours to compute. The default value is set to 10. |
treetype |
nn2: Either the standard kd tree or a bd (box-decomposition, AMNSW98) tree which may perform better for larger point sets |
searchtype |
nn2: See details |
radius |
nn2: radius of search for searchtype='radius' |
eps |
nn2: error bound: default of 0.0 implies exact nearest neighbour search |
The algorithm itself works by calculating the nearest neighbour distances in input space. This calculation
is achieved in O(N log N) time, where N is the number of data points using Bentley's kd-tree. The
package utilizes the Approximate Near Neighbor (ANN) C++ library, which can give the exact near
neighbours or (as the name suggests) approximate near neighbours to within a specified error bound. We use EXACT near neighbours in nn
but nn2
provides options for approximate searches. For more
information on the ANN library please visit http://www.cs.umd.edu/~mount/ANN/.
Search types:
visits cells in increasing order of distance from the query point, and hence, should converge more rapidly on the true nearest neighbour, but standard is usually faster for exact searches.
only searches for neighbours within a specified radius of the point. If there are no neighbours then nn.idx will contain 0 and nn.dists will contain 1.340781e+154 for that point.
nn.idx |
A MxP data.frame returning the near neighbour indexes. |
nn.dists |
A MxP data.frame returning the near neighbour Euclidean distances. |

5.40. Department-like Bodies
A department shall consist of a group of faculty members recognized by the faculty and chancellor, and the Board of Regents, as dealing with a common field of knowledge or as having common or closely related scholarly interests. A department shall be created, substantially restructured, or discontinued by the chancellor after consultation with the University Academic Planning Council, subject to the approval of the Board. Substantial restructuring includes, but is not limited to the merger of departments, the transfer of groups of faculty in or out of departments, and the establishment of department-like bodies. The University Academic Planning Council shall not make any recommendations to the chancellor without obtaining and considering the recommendations of the relevant college/school academic planning councils and deans. The school/college academic planning councils will seek recommendations and approval from affected departmental executive committees and affected individuals a minimum of six months in advance of the proposed actions. Recommendations concerning the establishment of new departments or the substantial restructuring or discontinuance of existing departments shall be reported to and discussed by the senate. Criteria applied to restructuring shall be developed (5.02.) and related to the missions of the university and relevant schools and colleges.
Other groups may be designated by the chancellor, after consultation with the University Academic Planning Council and subject to approval by the Board, as equivalent to departments for any of the purposes of these rules.
Schools or colleges defined in 3.01. that are not organized into departments shall operate as departments or may, by vote of the school or college faculty, organize in other ways to fulfill the objectives of this chapter.
Broad guidelines for the substantial restructuring, creation or discontinuance of a department shall be developed by the University Academic Planning Council. Following these guidelines, each school/college shall develop its own criteria for the substantial restructuring of departments. The special needs of affected untenured faculty shall be considered. The procedures shall provide opportunities for the affected executive committees and faculties to consult with the school/college academic planning councils and the deans during all stages of restructuring consideration and implementation. If two or more affected school/college academic planning councils cannot reach consensus, the chancellor shall seek to negotiate an agreement in consultation with the University Committee.
All university faculty members as defined in 1.02. holding probationary appointments, tenure appointments, or joint governance appointments in a department shall have the right to vote and otherwise participate in the governance of that department. The departmental executive committee may extend the right to vote and participate in departmental meetings to members of the academic staff (see 1.03.). The departmental executive committee also may invite members of the academic staff to participate in the annual preference balloting for department chair. Invitation to participate in departmental governance is not itself a faculty or academic staff appointment within the meaning of UWS 3 or 10, and therefore is not subject to notice and nonrenewal procedures. Invitation to participate in governance is for a specified term of not greater than three years and is made only by the executive committee (see 5.22.C.). Invitations to participate in governance are renewable.
The immediate governance of the department is vested in its departmental faculty (as defined in 5.10.) which has jurisdiction over all the interests of the department, including authority to determine all departmental questions that are not vested in the departmental executive committee by 5.20. and 5.21. The faculty of the department shall be responsible for teaching, research, and public service. Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, 11th edition, shall be the default parliamentary manual for all meetings of departments and for their executive committees, but in case of conflict between Robert's and any rules adopted by those bodies, the latter shall take precedence. Meetings of the departmental faculty shall be consistent with the provisions of the state's Open Meetings Law.
A joint governance appointment allows a person who has an appointment to the faculty (under UWS 3) or the academic staff (under UWS 10) in one department to participate in the governance of another department without a continuing commitment or tenure relationship with that department. A joint governance appointment is not itself a faculty or academic staff appointment within the meaning of UWS 3 or 10 and therefore is not subject to notice and nonrenewal procedures. A joint governance appointment is for a specified term of not greater than three years and is granted only upon the affirmative recommendation of the departmental executive committee to its dean. Joint governance appointments are either "joint executive appointments" or "joint departmental appointments" as defined below. "Continuing commitment appointments" are governed by the provisions of 7.19. of these rules.
A joint executive appointment in a department confers voting membership in the department and its executive committee and can be granted only to tenured faculty.
Joint departmental appointments confer voting membership in the department, but not in the executive committee, and can be granted to both probationary and tenured faculty and to members of the academic staff.
For academic staff appointed in more than one department, invitation to participate in departmental votes and meetings (5.10.) in one department does not automatically give those privileges in any other department.
An affiliation allows a faculty member or a member of the academic staff to be associated with a department without governance rights or a continuing departmental commitment. Affiliations may be granted by the departmental executive committee to probationary and tenured faculty and to academic staff for a specified term of not greater than three years.
A faculty member may request transfer of his or her department's continuing commitment in his/her tenured appointment on professional or academic grounds. In considering such a transfer, those involved should take into account the programmatic interests of the faculty member, the affected departments, and the school(s) or college(s) concerned.
A transfer of a department's continuing commitment to a faculty member requires the concurrence of the faculty member proposing the transfer, the executive committees of the respective departments, and the approval of the appropriate administrative officer(s). When a proposed transfer involves a single school/college, the dean is the appropriate administrative officer. When a proposed transfer involves a unit outside a single school/college, in addition to the deans and executive committees, the approval of the chancellor must also be sought. In the event that the executive committees or dean(s) directly affected do not agree, the chancellor will seek to negotiate a final settlement after consultation with the University Committee and the appropriate academic planning council(s). In no case, however, can a continuing departmental commitment to a faculty member be made without the consent of the majority of the accepting departmental executive committee.
Each department or its functional equivalent has an executive committee consisting of:
All members of the department who are associate professors or professors and to whom the department has a continuing commitment of one-half time or more.
Professors and associate professors in the department to whom the department has a continuing commitment of less than one-half time, but for whom that department was the principal sponsor of the appointment. (See Chapter 7 of these rules.)
Other faculty members having tenure who have been granted joint executive appointments by action of that executive committee. (See 5.12.A.)
Members of an executive committee who are on leave may participate in its decisions insofar as participation is feasible in the judgment of the executive committee.
Faculty members who retire and are appointed subsequently by the department in which they held tenure to an academic staff position totaling at least 20% of a full-time academic year appointment may be granted, by that departmental executive committee, membership on the executive committee during the academic year in which they hold that academic staff appointment. (See also 7.31.B.)
The departmental executive committee has authority to make recommendations concerning faculty appointments, recruitment, leaves, nonretentions, dismissals, promotions, and salaries and other departmental budget matters, which are transmitted through the chair to the dean.
In schools in which departmental structures do not exist, executive committees shall have the same authority to make recommendations to the dean concerning appointments, nonretentions, dismissals, promotions, salaries, and other budget matters, as departmental executive committees described in subsection A.
Departmental executive committees shall have the power to review and make recommendations concerning the appointment, recruitment, nonretention, dismissal, promotion, appointment to indefinite status, or salary of academic and classified staff and other persons appointed within the department itself; or, for duties not departmentally administered, whenever those personnel actions affect the instructional activities or budget of the department.
The departmental executive committee shall provide for the periodic review of the performance of every faculty member. Such reviews normally shall be conducted as part of the annual determination of recommendations for merit salary increments. Such reviews shall provide for a faculty member to be heard on his/her own case, if he/she wishes, and for the faculty member to be informed of the outcome of the review.
The departmental executive committee shall provide in written form, to its associate professors, the department's expectations for promotion to full professor, and periodically, either as a part of the review referenced in 5.21.D.1. or separately, shall consider each of its associate professors' progress toward promotion to full professor status and shall inform her/him of the outcome of that consideration.
The departmental executive committee shall provide for the annual written evaluation of every probationary faculty member beginning with the second year of the initial appointment (see 7.05. of these rules). In a year in which a renewal/promotion review (see 7.06. of these rules) is being carried out, this evaluation shall normally be part of that review.
The functions of executive committees in reviewing and evaluating faculty shall be performed in an impartial manner. Any member of an executive committee may at any time disqualify himself/herself from any review.
The departmental executive committee shall ensure that affected probationary faculty members shall be kept informed of any changes in departmental goals or other circumstances which alter the opportunity for promotion to tenure.
The executive committee may, by annual vote, delegate to a subcommittee or to the chair the authority to make recommendations with respect to any or all of the following matters, except as noted in 5.22.C.:
faculty recruitment;
nonfaculty personnel actions;
equipment and supplies.
The departmental executive committee may delegate to the full professors of the department the responsibility to communicate the department's expectations for promotion to the rank of full professor, and the authority to make such recommendations.
The executive committee may not delegate to a subcommittee or the chair the following:
Authority to make recommendations on probationary faculty appointments;
Authority to make recommendations on retention or nonretention of probationary faculty;
Invitation or renewal of invitation to academic staff to vote and participate in departmental meetings as allowed in 5.10.;
Invitation or renewal of invitation to academic staff to participate in annual preference balloting for departmental chair as allowed in 5.10.;

All members of a department as defined in 5.10. and 5.20. and those members of the academic staff who have been invited to participate in the annual preference balloting, shall be given the opportunity to express their preference for chair each year by secret ballot, and all ballots shall be transmitted by the departmental chair to the dean. The department may by annual vote authorize a committee to count the votes before the ballots are transmitted to the dean. A voting member of the departmental faculty who is on leave is eligible to participate in the balloting, but not by proxy.
If the dean does not wish to appoint the faculty member who received at least a plurality for chair, the dean – after consulting the department, the chancellor, provost, and the University Committee, and with approval of the provost after he/she considers the recommendations of the University Committee – may appoint a chair from among the tenured members of the department, or may appoint a tenured member of the faculty who is not a member of the department. In exceptional cases, following consultation with the department, the chancellor, provost, and the University Committee, and with approval of the provost after he/she considers the recommendations of the University Committee, the dean may appoint an assistant professor. The dean shall discuss the reasons for his/her action with the department, the University Committee, and the provost.
If the chair is an assistant professor, or not a member of the department, ad hoc arrangements shall be made in consultation with the dean, the chancellor, and the University Committee for the operation of the executive committee.
The term of office of a departmental chair is one year, but there is no limit to the number of terms that may be served.
A unit which is not a department, but which functions as a department for budgetary or faculty personnel matters under 5.01.B. or C. and/or 5.21.B. may have an administrative head who is not subject to the previous provisions of this section. The faculty members of such units may, at their option, have the opportunity to evaluate their administrative head. Such evaluation shall be in a form and procedure agreed to by the unit faculty and shall provide for anonymity.
The chair of the department has the following duties:
Serves as the official channel of communications for all matters affecting the department as a whole, between the department and the chancellor, the dean, other university officials, or departments.
Calls meetings of the departmental faculty and of the executive committee and presides over the meetings. He/She shall call a meeting at the request of any two members of the department. Each department shall meet at least once every semester.

Richard Freeman, a Harvard economist, argues that the US bubble economy had something in common with the old Soviet economy. The Soviet Union's growth was artificially raised by huge industrial output that ended up having little use. America's was artificially raised by mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and even the occasional Ponzi scheme.

The guns have been silent in the Balkans for more than ten years now, but their images and echoes continue to torment thousands, the first study on health among war veterans in Serbia shows.
The two-year study among 2,399 soldiers in 40 municipalities shows that 84 percent of war veterans have chronic health problems, most frequently coronary and blood vessels diseases, and 54.1 percent have mental health issues.
A third of veterans are fighting depression and alcoholism. The average age of the surveyed veterans is now 45.7 years.
An estimated 400,000 Serbs participated in the 1991-95 wars in Croatia and Bosnia and the 1998-99 conflict in Kosovo. Serbia has a population of 7.5 million.
'War veterans are a vulnerable section of the population,' Serbian minister for work and social affairs Rasim Ljajic told reporters. 'However, they are not socially recognised, and their needs were long neglected.'
The public is deeply divided over Serb role in the wars. Many believe the wars were fought in defence of Serbs living outside of Serbia; others say the wars were a political mistake and a crime, and consider the veterans losers.
'Their health problems are serious and are here to stay for a long time,' psychiatrist Zeljko Spiric, co-author of the study told IPS. Dr Spiric is from the Military Medical Academy (VMA) that conducted the study together with the Medical Faculty in Belgrade and the Ministry for Work and Social Affairs.
The study titled 'Health Status and Health Needs of War Veterans in Serbia' says the veterans surveyed spent on average seven-and-a-half months on the front. Some 52.5 percent fought in Croatia and Bosnia, 37.3 percent in Kosovo, and 10.2 percent in more than one conflict. All of them witnessed violent deaths, severe injuries and destruction of all kinds.
Most have suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the anxiety disorder that develops after exposure to traumatic events. It is a severe and long emotional reaction to extreme psychological trauma.
The survey shows that 8.8 percent of war veterans still suffer from PTSD, and that an additional 20 percent suffered from PTSD in the past.
'PTSD is a serious problem, and the study showed it was rarely treated, with patients trying to overcome it on their own,' Spiric said. 'International studies show that a third of people suffering from PTSD overcome it on their own, a third seek treatment, while a third remains somehow stuck in it forever.'
PTSD is a problem across the region. Last weekend, a war veteran in Croatia killed four people after a family dispute over a piece of land. His friends and relatives said he had suffered from PTSD for years.
In Bosnia, an association of Muslim war veterans from the town Tuzla recently announced that 518 of its members had committed suicide since 1995, and that about another 300 had attempted it. The association asked the Bosnian public to pay more attention to PTSD and other problems of veterans.
In Bosnian capital Sarajevo a local association of war veterans has reported that one in five of 55,000 demobilised fighters suffer from PTSD but were unable 'to find adequate help and understanding in society for their problems.'
According to the independent Centre for Non-Violent Action (CNA), about 800,000 people participated in wars in former Yugoslavia on all sides. The population of Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia is together around 16 million.
'This is a deeply traumatised region, and the veterans are not the only ones who have suffered trauma,' Nenad Vukosavljevic from the CNA told IPS.
'There were at least three million civilians on all sides (Bosniaks, Croats, Serbs, and ethnic Albanians in Kosovo) who left their homes - some temporarily, some for ever. Some 200,000 people were forced into one or the other form of detention camps, and they have many problems they're trying to overcome either on their own or with little expert help. This is a region where a lot has to be done in order to provide peace for minds and souls of people and bring reconciliation. And that will be a long process.'

I love Daffodils
There are daffodils beginning to bloom around Baltimore. Not quite in full bloom, but little early ones here and there. I bought some daffodils, imported from England, when I was at Trader Joe's the other day. Their buds were closed tightly, but I put them in water and overnight, they opened wide.
I loved the long daffodil season in the UK, so was delighted to buy a piece of that memory. The River Taff in Cardiff had a long park along side of it with swathes of daffodils, and in fact, the daff is the flower of Wales. There were also loads of daffs in the local graveyard.
At the rugby games in Cardiff, there are 70,000+ people in the stands, singing and waving their inflatable daffodils (and leeks). In this video, you can see the fans waving leeks and daffs, but you can't hear them singing Tom Jones' songs. You might even see me somewhere in the crowd, too. Cymru am byth!
Today, I was at the local Asian market and saw this sign advertising daffodils. I bought spring onions instead.

I know that this is an old thread but as someone who escorted US Army prisoners I have to say that the only time I carried and used a 1911 was in situations where there were civilians or other US military around. I used my M-16 against the VC. Ballistic gel is not a human. Skin is tough. Muscle is tough and bones can make bullets do all sorts of things. If I follow the logic of some, I should not use my Golden Sabers against anyone thiner than 14". Another factor is the amount of energy left after a bullet passes through a human body according to many of the figures posted. Many JHP will penetrate more than the average human body. In combat I have seen bullets hit bone and exit immediately after being deflected in a different direction. However in all my combat experience I have never seen a bullet penetrate one person and wound another. The real danger is shots that miss, not those that hit. Just though I would interject some real life experience in to the discussion.
P.S. - If you listen to some posters they make it sound like a FMJ .45 is not as good as a 9mm JHP. Even without expansion the .45 round is very effective. I know from experience how effective it is.

Fat Asian daddy bear showing his LONG BIG DICK
I have dated Asian men all my life, especially the older men (daddies). I like dating these Asian daddies, partly because they are rich, and partly because they are very hot. Some people says that they have small dicks but it is not true. Some of them have big dicks, some of them are small, I don"t care. They are all cute and attractive to me.

Tower of Power Holds Its Charge
Just as San Francisco's late-'60s psychedelic scene was winding down, legendary concert promoter Bill Graham helped raise the Bay Area's collective consciousness by bringing in artists such as Miles Davis, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding and B.B. King. By the time Oakland's Tower of Power hit the scene in the early '70s, people were ready for its horn-driven brand of soul and funk. Since then, the group has gone on to release nearly twenty albums, including an upcoming record of classic soul covers. We talked with founding member and sax player Emilio Castillo about the new disc.
Westword: How did the sessions go for the new record?
Emilio Castillo: Pretty good. We did the last four tracks with George Duke. Talented guy — really nice. They're gonna come out great.
Any different than the last few albums you've released?
We're doing all old soul music. This is definitely the most different album we've ever done.
Like which tunes?
We cut a tune by Stevie Wonder called "You Met Your Match." We did a four-song James Brown medley. We did "Baby Baby, Sweet Baby" ["Since You've Been Gone"], by Aretha. We did "Love Land," by the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. "Me and Mrs. Jones." "Your Precious Love," by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. "Heaven Must be Missing an Angel," by Tavares. "Who Is He and What Is He to You," by Bill Withers. "It Takes Two," by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston. And a few others.
What made you want to go that direction and do the old stuff?
It was a suggestion from our new manager. He's almost two years with us. When we started thinking about doing the new record, he said, "What you think about doing something different?" We were like, "What different? We don't do anything different. We make Tower of Power music." He said, "I want you to make Tower of Power music, but maybe rather than doing original material, you do some old soul stuff." We said, "Everybody's doing that. We don't want to follow a trend." But he said, "Do these tunes your way." He made a point and said, "You've done nineteen albums of all original Tower of Power music, and maybe it's time you give them something different." So he ran it by a bunch of different promoters throughout the world, and they were all really excited about it, so we decided to go ahead and do it, and it's been fun.
What is hip now versus when you guys started?
My answer to that question is always the same. It's in the lyric of the song: "What's hip today just might become passé." Because that's what always happens. Hipness is a state of mind; it's not a thing. It's not a particular fad. It's not a trend. It's a state of mind. If you're trying to be hip and wear your hair a certain way, you know that hairstyle's gonna be out in six months. You're trying to be hip and have a certain amount of tattoos, and in a few years people are going to look at you say, "What were you thinking?" All fads come and go.

As I said, I am not done with progressive house :)
Vocals in this song are free to download btw ;)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Definitely the right idea. The synth is almost spot on, could use some delay,reverb automation work on the decay,release build ups and what not. Loving everything about the synth other than that so far sounds like my style kind of, If you listen to my track entitled "research" you will know what i mean. Keep it up.
deffinitly will man :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Cool synth, nice structure.
It could be a bit longer :)
It actually WAS longer, but I cutted it. Original track was 6 mins long :D
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I like how you changed the sounds up every now and then, keeping it fresh, it kept me interested. The intro was a good hook, building up excitement every second; the vocals were a nice touch as well. Overall, good work, I like it. ^^
Ok... Thanks

Well there is a solution... You could search for "BootCamp" Designed to simulate pc on your mac. Basically when you boot your computer up when you hold down alt it will start your system up in windows mode.

A class apart? Admissions to the Dundee Royal Lunatic Asylum 1890-1910. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 15005919 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Our perceptions of 'class' and what it meant to be a pauper or a private patient require redefinition before we can draw any firm conclusions on the importance of class to the patient experience in the nineteenth-century Scottish asylum. This chapter argues that a range of influences within the asylum, including financial concerns and a striving for respectability, led to the reconceptualisation of the private patient in this period, thus negating any direct translation of rich and poor into private and pauper. Such an interpretation challenges Scull's suggestion that divisions between private and pauper asylum patients was an accurate reflection of class divisions within Victorian society. |

Dr. Ricardo J. Trevino's Ratings
This man is a nightmare. The office is filthy, the staff cared more about arguing over the coupons for lunch than helping my father who was bleeding profusely. When my dad actually got see Trevino, the doctor was furious that my dad had gotten blood on the doctor's pants. He ordered the nurse to stop the procedure and clean his pants. He cauterized the bleeding and told us to come back if it bled again. We have since discovered that Trevino cauterized the wrong spot. The bleeding continued so we returned. This time, Trevino packed the nose. He was forceful and cruel during the procedure. He said if the bleeding continued, my dad would have to go to the hospital so Trevino could put him under. However, when we went to the hospital, Trevino never showed up. Thank god. We have since found out the bleeding is due to high blood pressure, and putting my father under might have killed him. I am furious. Avoid this ****

Dr Trevino ended up doing a radical, irreversible surgery on me even though I was referred for a minimally invasive procedure. I had to have plastic surgery to partially repair his botched surgery, and the internal structures in my nose cannot be repaired. This was not a medical mistake! Once the surgery is done, he's done with you! Don't go, PLEASE.

I do not like to see Omarosa or hear her speak. She thinks she is "All That" and more. Nuff said.

"Never Give Up" ~~~Winston Churchill
FireWoman, you are absolutely correct.
You may not always be able to understand what he says, and you may not always agree with what he says or does, but two things about Dennis Rodman:
1) He is NOT dumb!
And, yes, tapper01, you are also absolutely correct.
2) He DOES have a HUGE soft spot in his heart.
Oh, and~
3) For those asking, he DOES keep in touch and is still friends with some of his former NBA coaches and teammates.
Impossible things are being done every day.
While I agree with Steven's convictions to make good art, he's totally in the wrong for this particular task. Trump is like a horse with blinders when it comes to fundraising, tunnel vision is an understatement. If he were to regurgitate his breakfast, smear it all over a canvas, and sell it to Alec for a million dollars, he'd be crowned winner of Celebrity Apprentice right on the spot.
I can understand where he's coming from. He didn't get credited for the sale because Lisa's contact bought it, which it polar opposite of making any sort of sense. Steven's art was so good that somebody loved it so much they bought it, but by some BS technicality, that doesn't count towards his total sales. Don Jr even called it "poor organization."
Also, Trace should've been more forthcoming about not liking his new team; he picked the people for Plan B, so it's only logical that he'd prefer to work with them. Plus he's on Omarossa's team now, I don't think anyone would argue with that point.
This episode got a 1.4 rating.
]I really thought Omarosa was going to be found out re that $2,000 ... but maybe they knew ... I mean WE knew, so we must presume the Trump team knew.as well. Perhaps that is why Trump finally fired her, but there was no public mention of cheating.
Didn't Penn receive a huge donation from Teller? The way it was presented led me to believe that it was taken out of some account that belonged to Penn. Maybe it was prearranged. That is .Penn put money in an account and gave Teller access so it could be delivered as needed.

Trace's charity is the Red Cross, right?
I keep wondering why he doesn't support The Wounded Warrior Foundation. There are commercials running with him in them every hour or so for wounded warriors. I find it interesting. Do celebrities get paid for being the spokesperson or doing a commercial for a charity?

This was a good episode...maybe because it was only one hour. Some of those boardroom scenes go on forever.
I'm liking Dennis this season. He's very funny, if you can understand him.
Stephen is repugnant in his arrogance.
Omarosa must have been #1 Debater in high school because she has an answer to everything and never stops talking. I laughed so hard as she went into her Model Pose as she turned in the elevator to face the camera.
I love seeing the real personalities that come out on this show. I have often been very pleasantly surprised to find out some celebs are really nice/good people.
And then sometimes you get a surprise and see the real evil come out. I really didn't have much of an opinion about Dionne Warwick prior to the show but I sure got a big impression of the real Dionne.
Trace is supporting the Red Cross because of all the assistance they gave him and his family when his house burned down.
Last time, he supported the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network (giving them a HUGE visibility boost) because his daughter has severe food allergies. My son does, as well, so he became my hero that season!
Unless I'm missing something, it does appear that the celebs usually pick charities for causes that have impacted them personally.
In Dennis Rodman's defense, he`s pretty darn smart intellectually, it`s his mumbling that throws people off. He`s also knowledgeable about art-when I lived in San Antonia and was going to art school he appeared at lots of student shows and bought paintings and discussed quite smartly the types of art he liked and why. He was very nice to us and surprisingly, very much shy. Whether or not his personal life is a mess does not detract from the fact he has a native intelligence and a quick wit. I don`t know how many people know he was rejected by his mother and sisters as a child. It was quite ugly. He ended up living on a farm for a bit with a high school team mates family.It`s sad to think that Dennis, like so many people, struggles with his self-worth by at times acting out and being self-destructive. God, The wreckage families can create by treating their children with such contempt.
If you are silent about your pain, theyll kill you and say you enjoyed it. -- Zora Neale Hurston Jan 07, 1891 - Jan 28, 1960, American anthropologist, folklorist and author

Springbok flank Wikus van Heerden scored but couldn't do anything to help Saracens avoid a 21-15 defeat to Harlequins.
The loss almost certainly ends their hopes of making the Premiership play-offs. Nick Evans and Glen Jackson traded penalties before Van Heerden powered over from close range.
But despite rallying well after trailing for most of the second half, Saracens, who have been embroiled in a saga regarding the axing of 17 players at the end of the season, couldn't breach a well organised defence.
In other matches Springbok flyhalf Butch James kicked six conversions in his side's 45-8 victory over Bristol.

Leicester Tigers 24 Gloucester Rugby 10

Girl of 15 sold off to chip shop workers by gang for £100 petrol money
A married man sold a 15-year-old girl to restaurant workers for sex so he could buy petrol to get home, a court heard yesterday.
Tanveer Ahmed, known as T to the young children he groomed, arranged for three men to have sex with the youngster for £100, the court was told. He pocketed the cash to put fuel in his car and pay off gambling debts. The 39-year-old is one of nine Asian men on trial for 55 separate charges which include trafficking, grooming and rape against teenage girls aged 13 to 16 between 2007 and 2009. Stafford Crown Court heard that the men, six of them married and one a grandfather, groomed their vulnerable victims before selling them to other men for sex. The seven teenage girls, all from Telford, Shropshire, were said to have been enticed and ensnared into a destructive world by offers of drugs, alcohol and top-ups on their mobile phones. The girls believed themselves to be loved and in love with some of the men but were described by their abusers as ******* slags behind their backs, the court was told. The jury heard the 15-year-old pimped out by Ahmed fell pregnant by one of the men she was sold to, but he continued to prostitute her. She kept the baby. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz1PTaNyL1j |

Cameron, R. W. F. and Wilkinson, S. and Davies, W. J. and Harrison-Murray, R. S. and Dunstan, D. and Burgess, C. (2003) Regulation of plant growth in container-grown ornamentals through the use of irrigation. Acta Horticulturae, 630. pp. 305-312. ISSN 0567-7572
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine whether shoot growth could be regulated and plant quality improved through two controlled irrigation techniques: Regulated Deficit Irrigation (RDI) or Partial Root Drying (PRD). An additional benefit of such techniques is that they would also improve the efficiency of irrigation application and reduce the volume of water used on commercial nurseries. Results from two ornamental woody plant species (Cotinus and Forsythia) demonstrated that plant quality could be significantly improved when RDI was applied at ≤ 60% of potential evapo-transpiration (ETp). Stomatal closure and reduced leaf and internode growth rates were associated with both the RDI and PRD techniques, but reduced leaf water potential was only recorded in the RDI system. Changes in xylem sap pH and ABA concentrations were correlated with changes in shoot physiology, and thought to be generated by those roots exposed to drying soil. By adopting such controlled irrigation systems on commercial holdings it is estimated that water consumption could be reduced by 50 to 90%.

Adam Gontier Speaks on Three Days Grace Departure
Earlier today word broke of Adam Gontier and his "sudden" departure from Three Days Grace. This left many fans wondering the future of the band. The remaining members released a statement saying My Darkest Days vocalist, and brother to 3.D.G. bassist Brad Walkst, Matt Walst would be taking the helm of the band for the upcoming tour including our date in Glens Falls on February 23rd.
Adam released a statement via his Facebook shortly thereafter to address the situation saying the following:
To all of my fans, my friends, my family, these are my words coming from my heart, separate from my role as "lead singer of Three Days Grace".
I want you all to know how very thankful I am for your consistent love, your respect, and you're undying support. It is important for me to address any concerns regarding my health being connected to drugs or addiction. The truth is, when I was struggling during that dark time in my life, I hit rock bottom, and I had the kindest of people reach out from all over the world, and reach their hands out to help pick me up. I am so blessed to be walking in the light now. I am reminded of your loyalty, always. The truth is, and I'm very proud to say this…, I am sober. That chapter in my life is over.
There have been many defining moments in my life. My time as part of Three Days Grace is most definitely one of the miraculous ones. I have had so many tender hearted people share with me their stories. How I've touched, or changed their lives. My truth is that all of the love I have received has forever changed my life. Each letter I've read, every picture I've been sent, all of the voices I've heard sing along with me, I will forever remember, and never forget…
After twenty years of being part of an ever evolving band, I have been inspired by life, to move on and to continue to evolve on my own terms. I could not be more grateful for all the souls who have travelled along with me. A journey I look back on with integrity, and a future I look forward to with such hope. I have always admired brave hearts. Life is always changing. I will continue to follow my heart, and what I love to do. I'm not sure what the next horizon will look like, but I do have all the faith in the world that whatever it is, It's meant to be, and I have faith that blessings will continue to shine over all of us. I once heard a "brave heart" say:
"When nothing is sure, everything is possible."
It's because of my life's journey, because of all of you, that I believe.
Sincerely, with love,
To hear what to expect from Matt Walst as the "new" lead singer, check out the audio posted by the band below

If politics is the art of the possible, then compromise is the artistry of democracy. Unless one partisan ideology holds sway over all branches of government, compromise is necessary to govern for the benefit of all citizens. A rejection of compromise biases politics in favor of the status quo, even when the rejection risks crisis. Why then is compromise so difficult in American politics today?
In "The Spirit of Compromise," eminent political thinkers Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson connect the rejection of compromise to the domination of campaigning over governing--the permanent campaign---in American democracy today. They show that campaigning for political office calls for a mindset that blocks compromise--standing tenaciously on principle to mobilize voters and mistrusting opponents in order to defeat them. Good government calls for an opposite cluster of attitudes and arguments--the compromising mindset--that inclines politicians to adjust their principles and to respect their opponents. It is a mindset that helps politicians appreciate and take advantage of opportunities for desirable compromise.
Gutmann and Thompson explore the dynamics of these mindsets by comparing the historic compromises on tax reform under President Reagan in 1986 and health care reform under President Obama in 2010. Both compromises were difficult to deliver but only tax reform was bipartisan. Drawing lessons from these and other important compromises--and failures to compromise--in American politics, Gutmann and Thompson propose changes in our political institutions, processes, and mindsets that would encourage a better balance between campaigning and governing.
Calling for greater cooperation in contemporary politics, "The Spirit of Compromise" will interest all who care about whether their government leaders can work together.

Kyrsten Sinema on War & Peace | |
Within a few days, President Bush had made statements that I felt polarized our world and pushed away those who sought to join us in grieving. As he began to talk about war, a small group of Phoenicians began to organize. The group started meeting regularly, and we eventually formed a coalition called Arizona Alliance for Peaceful Justice. Our reason for existence was simple: to advocate for a diplomatic solution to the problems facing us and prevent, as much as possible, any war that would hurt civilians and the innocent. While we very strongly supported efforts to find and root out terrorism, we were worried that President Bush's movement to wage war in Iraq was unjustified, based on false information, and bad for our country and our world.
