This appendix provides additional information on the data needed to estimate different elements in the risk-characterization steps of emission characterization, transport and fate, exposure assessment, and assessment of toxicity.
The best approach to characterizing emissions is to measure the flux from each manufacturing, storage, use, or disposal facility. However, such flux measurements are generally not available, because sources are not uniform across geography or time, because they are so large (e.g., a several-square-block manufacturing site) that no point for measuring flux is apparent, or because flux measurements are so difficult and expensive, and require such detailed knowledge of local meteorology, as to be impractical. Therefore, most emission data are calculated or estimated from industry-wide averages applied to such things as "emission factors," process rates, quantities of chemical present at given locations, or numbers of individual components. Some information that might be needed to estimate and characterize emissions from a facility is provided in Table L-1. (Not all information is needed for all calculation methods.)
Atmospheric-chemistry models are used to determine where emitted chemicals are transported and their characteristics when deposited. Several kinds of information are needed to estimate the transport and fate of pollutants:

Data on emissions of pollutants that result from production, storage, use, and disposal (discussed in previous section).
Data on physical and chemical properties of pollutants (see Table L-2). For example, the vapor pressure of a chemical pollutant plays a major role in determining exchange of the chemical between the atmosphere and other environmental media. The vapor pressures of chemicals vary widely from those of gases (such as CO, CO2, and SO2), with vapor pressures of more than 1 atm, to those of aromatic compounds, organophosphates, dioxins, and other non-criteria pollutants, which are often in the range of 10-8-10-3 atm. VOCs generally have vapor pressures of greater than 10-3 atm and semivolatile compounds vapor pressures of 10-8-10-3 atm. Lead and other inorganic species are volatile as well. Water solubilityis important, because, with vapor pressure, it determines the distribution of a pollutant in the atmosphere. Water-soluble vapors, for example, might be efficiently scrubbed from air by rainfall or fog depositionprocesses that can minimize human exposure, at least by inhalation. Suspended dust or aerosol particles can adsorb vapors of the pollutant and may also play a major role in determining the rate of exchange of chemicals between the atmosphere and other environmental media.
Data on transformation, degradation, and sequestration of pollutants in the environment (Table L-2), including chemical, biologic, and physical data:
Chemical data (e.g., for atmospheric oxidation and photochemical reactions). Chemical breakdown depends on molecular structure, and for some substances breakdown is rapid. If the chemical is susceptible to nucleophilic attack, oxidation, or hydroxylation, alterations can occur rapidly and change the potential exposure dramatically.
Biologic data (e.g., on degradation by metabolic action of microorganisms). Alterations by biologically mediated reactions are enormously variable, and data are needed on products of alteration; for example, do emissions tend to become more toxic or less toxic?
Physical data (e.g., on solubility and gravitational settlement). For particles, gravitational settlement or sedimentation increases with the aerodynamic diameter of the particle. Physical processes that occur in the atmosphere can affect particle-removal efficiency. Hydroscopic particles can increase in size because of the accumulation of water from the vapor phase in the atmosphere; this growth can help in their removal by sedimentation and washout.
Data on rate of removal of pollutants by various routes. For example, the rate of catalytic oxidation of SO2 decreases if the water concentration in the atmosphere falls below that necessary to maintain catalyst droplets. The critical point seems to be the percent relative humidity; above this, rates of catalytic oxidation increase dramatically. In clean air, SO2 emissions are only very slowly oxidized via homogeneous reactions of the gas phase to SO2 vapor. The development of the kind of information described here is important for the pre-

diction of risk associated with environmental pollutants. Such data could be used to identify the most probable routes through the environment and provide clues to the rate of degradation (alteration) from source to receptor. Knowing the probable routes and sinks, one can identify populations that should have special attention in an evaluation of potential health effects. More refined approaches might include selecting or developing models to estimate transport and fate of pollutants.
Data on types of models to predict the persistence, transport, and fate of pollutants, including their input requirements, degree of accuracy and precision, and method of validation. Several models of aerial dissipation have been reported.
Exposure Assessment To evaluate human exposure for risk-assessment purposes, information is needed on the following:
Contaminants (e.g., types, in which media, at what concentrations, and for what durations).
OCR for page 591
Page 595
Exposed population (e.g., who is at risk, where, and under what circumstances; how long they are exposed and to what degree; and their intake of the contaminant from air, food, water, or through other relevant routes).
These are described in more depth below.
For the contaminant, the minimum data need include measured or estimated concentrations at the point of human contact for a specified duration. For air, concentration data are generated by sampling air and simultaneously or sequentially measuring the toxicant trapped at a given air flow rate and for a given period monitored. Beyond those generalities, analytical methods vary widely in specifics and in the key dimensions of accuracy (agreement with true value), precision (spread in data), and limit of detection. Errors can be large, particularly in trace analysis, so concerns are warranted about the quality of concentration data used in risk assessments. The following cautions are pertinent:
all data should be collected with validated methods under strict quality-assurance and quality-control standards.
A clear statement of uncertainty is fundamental to all analytic reports (Keith et al., 1983). Errors are likely to be greater with airborne trace-amount toxicants than with ''criteria pollutants," which tend to occur at much higher concentrations. This is because the relative accuracy of instruments often decreases at low concentrations.
A contaminant might be present but below the detection limit of the equipment. In this case, the concentration of the contaiminant should not be assumed to be zero. Rather, the detection limit (or some agreed-on fraction of it) should be used in the processing of data.
Vapors must be discriminated from particle-bound residues in air monitoring, especially for toxicants of low to intermediate vapor pressure.
Data on trace toxicants should be confirmed by mass spectrometry or other confirmatory method to increase confidence in the results.
For the exposed population, the nature of the harm must be defined. It is important to assess the various degrees of exposure and the numbers within each identifiable set of the population, such as sets defined by age or health status. In the absence of personal monitoring data, geographic, behavioral (e.g., activity-pattern), and demographic considerations will often allow estimation of the exposure, although the estimated exposure might not be directly related to an individual's exposure.
Because exposure to a specific chemical is rarely confined to a single route (although one route might dominate), the total exposure must be calculated by summing air (inhalation), dermal, and dietary (food and water) intakes. For example, pollutants that begin as "air pollutants" can generate substantial exposures through other media if they can move from air to water, soil, or vegetation.

Page 596
A case in point is that of chlorinated hydrocarbons (polychlorinated biphenyls, toxaphene, DDT, etc.) in the Arctic; the mechanism was long-range transport in the air, but the exposure of indigenous peoples in the region is through the diet and results from the uptake of chemicals deposited in the food chain.
Assessment Of Toxicity A risk analysis must include an assessment of the toxicity of a chemical, i.e., of the potential hazard the public health. Such analysis can be based on a combination of experimental toxicity and human data. Clearly, information on the incidence of disease associated with known exposures to toxicants is the most useful for human risk assessment. It is also the least available, however, because it depends on the occurrence of some unplanned or unforeseen event (e.g., an accident or malfunction in a manufacturing facility) or it is collected for a narrowly defined population (e.g., a workforce) exposed at magnitudes and for durations well beyond what the general population experiences. For ethical (and also sometimes legal) reasons, controlled dose-response studies in humans are rare.
The human data that might be available for risk assessment are in three broad categories:
Clinical. Outcome and disease data are reported for members of the general population, including, if known:
A description of the outcome(s).
The diagnostic criteria used.
A description of individual characteristics that might affect outcomes (age, pre-existing illness, etc.).
Exposure history, including dose and time frames.
The opinions of medical experts on the findings and the applicability of the results to the general population are also important in determining the usefulness of clinical evidence for risk assessment.
Toxicologic. Outcome and disease data are reported for persons (usually volunteers, not members of the general population) after exposure under controlled experimental conditions, including:
Description of the hypotheses tested.
The criteria used to select the study groups.
The relevance of the outcomes to the general population or specified subpopulations (e.g., potential high-risk groups).
The diagnostic and detection methods.
The experimental conditions.
OCR for page 591
Page 597
Personal characteristics that might affect exposure and outcome (e.g., age, sex, and pre-existing conditions).
In addition, the method of exposure (nature and composition of toxic agent, routes of exposure, media and means of exposure, time of exposure, and doses) and statistical evaluation (e.g., point and range estimates, measures of association and significance, and dose-response and time-response relations) should be described.
Epidemiologic. Outcome and disease data are collected on groups of people in real-world settings. These data should be accompanied by:
A description of the hypotheses tested.
Criteria applied to select groups observed.
Study methods and target-group participation rates.
Diagnostic criteria for clearly defined outcomes.
Exposure history and characteristics, including period and doses relevant to outcome studied.
Evaluation of characteristics that might affect exposure and outcome (e.g., age, employment, activity patterns, and pre-existing health conditions).
Appropriate statistical analyses of comprehensive outcome measures (e.g., point and range estimates, dose-response data, time-response analysis, and measures of association and significance)
Interpretation of the findings, including analysis of generalizability, bias, and other confounding issues.

Numerous arguments have been made in favor of the use of unvented cathedralized attic (UCA) assemblies in a variety ofclimates and applications. UCA assemblies, created by eliminating ventilation and by moving the thermal insulation and air barrier from the ceiling plane to the rafters, immediately below the roof deck, are increasingly common in low-rise residential construction in the hot-humid and hot-dry southern United States. Unvented cathedral ceilings (UCCs) are similar to UCAs with the exception that the interior finish is also installed on the underside of or between the rafters rather than on the underside of the ceiling joists or collar ties.
The test program described in this paper sets out to determine whether or not an assembly that meets the new IRC code requirements but is constructed without a vapor barrier and using an air impermeable, vapor permeable, low-density, open-cell sprayed polyurethane foam insulation can perform satisfactorily in the cold wet climates of Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC (Zone 4C).

Estimating non-linear site response by single period approximation
Tsang, Hing-Ho, Chandler, Adrian M. and Lam, Nelson T.K. (2006) Estimating non-linear site response by single period approximation. Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 35, (9), 1053-1076. (doi:10.1002/eqe.567).
Full text not available from this repository.
Site effects characterize the filtering mechanisms within the soil sedimentary layers overlying bedrock. In regions of high seismicity such as California where strong motion records are relatively abundant, site coefficients can be developed by regression of recorded ground shaking parameters. In regions of low-to-moderate seismicity or of high seismicity but with a paucity of recorded strong motion data, such empirical models cannot be obtained in the same way.
This study describes the theoretical development of a simple, rational manual procedure to calculate site coefficients, based on a single period approximation (SPA), and to construct displacement response spectra (RSD) for soil sites. The proposed simplified model, which takes into account the non-linear behaviour of soil that is dependent on the level of shaking, impedance contrast at the soil-bedrock interface and the plasticity of soil material, has been verified by comparison with results obtained from non-linear shear wave analyses and data recorded during the 1994 Northridge earthquake. The proposed model is believed to be a convenient tool for calculating non-linear site responses and constructing site-specific response spectra, which has the potential of being incorporated into code provisions.

YAZOO CITY, Miss. — High school student Kaleb Eulls is being hailed as a hero for his actions helping to save his fellow school bus passengers from an armed teen earlier this week.
According to a report from Mississippi State's BulldogBlitz.com Website, Eulls was asleep when a 14-year-old female student boarded the bus with a .380 semi-automatic handgun. She was threatening to shoot those she accused of teasing her and ordering the bus driver to pull over.
One of Eulls' three younger sisters, who were all among the 22 passengers riding the bus to Yazoo County High School, woke him up and he tried to reason with the armed student while the other passengers escaped through the rear emergency door.
The girl looked away for a moment, and that's when Eulls tackled her, taking away the firearm. He said he acted out of concern for the other children on the bus, including his family members.
Several news outlets, including CNN, have posted the video of the incident online, as well as interviews with Eulls. As a football player, Eulls is rated the No. 19 defensive end in the nation and the No. 8 overall prospect in Mississippi. He has been committed to join the Mississippi State Bulldogs since July.
The female assailant was arrested on 22 counts of attempted aggravated assault, 22 counts of kidnapping and one count of possession of a firearm on school property. She was taken to the county juvenile detention facility.

San Francisco Marches Against Monsanto
There are a few rules in life one must abide by if one is to "do it right." If you're in the mood for good surf, you head on down to Hawaii. If you're looking for deep dish pizza, you find the cheapest flight to Chicago. And if you want to see a protest done right, you head to San Francisco.
The prolifically passionate bunch turned up in full force on Saturday for the Bay Area's chapter of the worldwide March Against Monsanto. (While the actual number of participants will surely be debated, I eyeballed at least 500 protestors, and if you wanted to twist my arm to say there were another 500 that straggled in late, I wouldn't fight you on it.) The group joined up on the San Francisco side of the Golden Gate Bridge at 11 a.m. for an hour of rabble-rousing before taking the bridge itself by storm.
Some marched because they fear a world in which their children have access to only genetically-modified foods, while others chose to participate for more personal reasons. Eric Eberman, one of the local San Francisco march organizers, got involved after one of his family members died last March after a bout with colon cancer. "He had been exposed to agricultural chemicals as a child when he worked on a farm in Mexico," said Eberman. "I was seeking some way to express my anger at his premature and painful death and found a creative way to do so via March Against Monsanto."
Led by a four-piece band, the Brass Liberation Orchestra, the protestors relayed their disgust at the GMO giant by marching across the nearly 9,000 foot bridge, showing their solidarity with the millions more protesting all around the world. Here are a handful of snapshots from the afternoon.
Passionate speakers took the impromptu stage in front of the ever-growing gathering area. A quick sampling of the various protest chants that, at some point, were introduced to the crowd: "Hey-hey! Ho-Ho! GMOs has got to go!"; "When I say 'organic,' you say 'food'! Organic! (Food!) Organic! (Food!)"; and "The people! Together! Will never be divided!"
Every age and sign type were represented.
Some protestors took the opportunity to test out some make-up designs before Halloween.
Before the walking portion of the march, those dressed as bees performed a short photo-op one-act play, dying on the ground due to Monsanto's poisonous GMOs.
The omnipresent Guy Fawkes mask even made a cameo appearance.
On the bridge, with the wind blowing a bit too hard and the crowd too spread out and sparse for proper chanting, cars supplied the noise with their melodic honking and occasional fist bumps in the air.
And the march goes on...

Sir John Johnson, 2nd Baronet
Sir John Johnson, 2nd Baronet of New York (5 November 1741 – 4 January 1830) was a Loyalist leader during the American Revolution, a politician in Canada and a wealthy landowner. He was the son of Sir William Johnson, 1st Baronet, who had been the British Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the northern colonies, based in New York province, and accumulated much land and wealth.
He inherited his father's baronetcy and lands in 1774. Sir John removed to Canada during the American Revolutionary War with family and allies, as he was at risk of arrest by rebel authorities. He led the King's Royal Regiment of New York and was promoted to brigadier general in 1782. That year Sir John Johnson was also appointed as Superintendent General and Inspector General of Indian affairs of First Nations in Canada, including the four Iroquois nations that had relocated there. After the war, he was appointed by the Crown to distribute lands in Upper Canada to exiled Loyalists, and estimated he helped resettle nearly 3800 in 1784. He also served in the Legislative Council of Lower Canada.
Early life and education[edit]
Born near Amsterdam, New York, Johnson was the only son of the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Colonel Sir William Johnson, 1st Baronet, and his common-law wife, Catherine Weisenberg, a Palatine German immigrant. He was baptized as an Anglican in the chapel at Fort Hunter. William Johnson was a military commander during the French and Indian War (Seven Years' War), had promoted the British settlement of the Mohawk Valley and trading with the Mohawk, and founded the community of Johnstown in Tryon County in the Province of New York.
Sir John Johnson, who assumed office in 1771, was the last Provincial Grand Master of Masons in the colonies of Province of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
In 1774 at his father's death, John Johnson succeeded to the baronetcy and inherited his father's title and extensive estates, making him a wealthy landowner. In 1775, he was appointed doorkeeper of the New York Provincial Assembly.
Marriage and family[edit]
Johnsons parents, Catherine Weissenberg and Sir William Johnson were never married and so he was Baptised John Wysen Bergh by Rev. Henry Barclay February 7, 1741/2. This means that he was never legally the second Baronet of New York. However as he had been Knighted he was Sir John Johnson in his own right. This has now (in 2013) been brought to the attention of the Ministry of Justice at the House of Lords in London by a 5 x great grand daughter of Catherine Weissenberg. Johnson took as a common-law wife Clarissa Putman, daughter of Arent Putman and Elizabeth Peek of Tribes Hill, New York, from 1765 to 1773. She was of Dutch ancestry. They had a daughter Margaret in 1765, and a son William in 1770.
On June 30, 1773, Johnson married Mary Watts (daughter of Hon. John Watts President of the King's Council, of New York). After he escaped to Canada in May 1776 at the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, Lady Johnson was detained that year by the Whigs of New York as a hostage for the good conduct of her husband. After she was freed to join Sir John in Canada, the couple lived in Montreal during the winter and spent the summers on their seigneury at Argenteuil, Ottawa on the Ottawa River. The couple also visited in England.
Catherine Weissenberg and Sir William Johnson had ten sons and eight daughters. Eight of their sons served in the British army and navy. One son, James Stephen Johnson, was killed at the siege of Badajoz, in 1814. Their daughter Catherine Maria Johnson married Major-General Bernard Foord Bowes, who fell at Salamanca, in 1812. Their first son Adam Gordon Johnson (1781-1843) succeeded his father to the baronetcy. Their daughter, Anne Nancy Johnson, married Colonel Edward MacDonnell (Deputy Quartermaster General to the Forces in Canada, and one-time aide-de-camp to the Duke of Wellington). Their last surviving child, an unmarried daughter, died in London on 1 January 1868.
Lady Johnson died in Montreal, August 7, 1815. Her husband died in Montreal, January 4, 1830. Both are buried at Mount Johnson, near Chambly, Quebec. [1]
Johnson and Clarissa Putman's grandson, James E. Van Horne, and great-grandson, William Van Horne, were each elected mayor of Schenectady, New York.
American Revolution[edit]
In January 1776, nine months after the outbreak of the American Revolution, Johnson gathered several hundred armed supporters at Johnstown. He sent a letter to Governor William Tryon, through Captain John McDonell, saying that he and his Loyalist neighbors had conferred about raising a battalion for the British cause. He also said he could raise 500 Indian warriors who, when used with his regular troops, could retake all of the forts captured by the rebels.
On January 20, 1776, General Schuyler, with a force of Continental troops and the Tryon County militia numbering around 3,000, disarmed Johnson and about 300 of his Loyalist supporters; Schuyler paroled Johnson. Hearing in May 1776 of another force being sent to arrest him, Johnson decided to flee with his family and supporters to Canada. He led about 170 of his tenants and allies among the Iroquois Confederacy to Montreal, Quebec. Sir John's loyalty to the King cost him his home in Johnstown and extensive property in the Mohawk Valley, all of which was confiscated after the war by the State of New York.
Johnson and his followers formed the core of the British military regiment known as the King's Royal Regiment of New York, which had substantial action against the New York colonials under his command throughout the war. Johnson was promoted to the rank of brigadier general in 1782. On March 14, 1782 he received the appointment of Superintendent General and Inspector General of Indian affairs. His authority extended over all northern First Nations allied with the Crown, including four of the Iroquois League nations, who had mostly relocated to Canada after having been allies of the losing British during the revolution.
Post-war years[edit]
In 1783 the Treaty of Paris was signed, establishing the independence of the American Colonies. Johnson and thousands of other Loyalists were in permanent exile in Canada. The British had transported some Loyalists from New York and New England for resettlement to Nova Scotia, including more than 3,000 Black Loyalists: African-American slaves whom they had freed as promised for their service during the war.
In 1784, the Crown appointed Johnson to distribute crown lands (purchased from First Nations) along the St. Lawrence River and the north shore of Lake Ontario (what became known as Upper Canada) to Loyalists who had come to Canada, as some compensation for their losses in the colonies. The government wanted to encourage development of this part of Canada, as it was lightly settled. The exiles faced severe conditions in the early years, as they struggled to create settlements out of frontier lands, and the British were not able to get adequate supplies to them on time. Johnson estimated that he had arranged the settlement of 3,776 Loyalists during that first year.
In 1791, Lord Dorchester recommended Johnson as lieutenant governor of Upper Canada, but London turned this recommendation down.
In 1796, Johnson moved back to Montreal, then the seat of government, where he served in the Legislative Council of Lower Canada and as head of the Indian Department for Lower Canada. He held extensive land holdings in both Upper and Lower Canada, including the seigneuries of Monnoir and Argenteuil in Quebec.
Johnson died in Montreal in 1830 at the age of 88.

A Special Christmas would be the penultimate album the trio recorded together before they disbanded in 1998. Coko, the group's lead singer, released her first solo album in 1999.
1998–2005: Hiatus and reuniting of SWV[edit]
The group split in 1998. The members began leading their own careers. After SWV disbanded, Coko went on to release her first solo album under RCA, titled Hot Coko, released August 1999. The first single, "Sunshine", which was dedicated to her son Jazz, reached the Top 40 position in the R&B charts that summer. However, neither the album nor the singles gathered the same mainstream success as Coko once did with SWV. Meanwhile, Coko was working on a second solo album titled Music Doll in early 2001, but RCA closed the black music division and the project was shelved. Since then, she has concentrated more on her family, and eventually married gospel producer and drummer for Israel and New Breed, Mike "Big Mike" Clemmons, the father of her second son, Jaylon. She currently resides in Virginia Beach, Virginia.[citation needed] In 2001, Coko and her Mother Lady "Clyde" Tibba Gamble did a remake of the song "Tears in Heaven" (originally recorded by Eric Clapton) on the album Rhythm and Spirit: "Love Can Build a Bridge". The album featured other artists such as Jennifer Holliday, Patti Labelle, and Tramaine Hawkins. Clemons sang on the Brent Jones & TP Mobb single "Midnite" in 2002. She also appeared on Youthful Praise's 2003 gospel album Thank You for the Change singing lead on "Up There".
Coko's full gospel solo debut, Grateful, was released in the United States on October 31, 2006[6] and debuted at No. 5 on Billboard 's Top Independent albums chart.[7] Grateful includes an all-star cover of The Clark Sisters' "Endow Me" which features R&B singers Faith Evans, Fantasia Barrino and Lil Mo.[8] An alternate version, minus Faith Evans was performed on BET's Celebration of Gospel '07. A special edition of Grateful only available through Wal-Mart includes two bonus tracks "I Wish" and Brent Jones' "Midnite" featuring Coko on lead vocals. Coko was reported to have joined an all-black touring cast performing the critically acclaimed play The Vagina Monologues, along with Sherri Shepherd, Star Jones, Vanessa L. Williams, and others.[9] In June 2008, Coko performed in Japan for the Billboard Live Tour. She sang some of her solo hits "Sunshine", "Clap Your Hands", and the SWV song "Right Here/Human Nature".
In 2005, SWV reunited and announced plans to record a new album the following year,[3] which did not materialize. In 2007, the group performed dates with After 7, Bobby Brown, New Edition, and Blackstreet.[10] Also in 2007, Johnson-George appeared in the TV One reality series I Married a Baller which documented her life with husband Eddie George, former NFL player and present Nashville entrepreneur.[11] SWV members Coko and Lelee (who sing the theme song along with Taj) appear in a couple of the show's episodes. On June 24, 2008, during a performance from Alicia Keys at the BET Awards of 2008, SWV made a special appearance with the original line up from En Vogue and TLC. SWV sang "Weak" with Alicia and later performed "Waterfalls" with the two other R&B girl bands. Coko currently resides in Virginia Beach, Lelee in Atlanta and Taj in Nashville.[citation needed]. Tamara "Taj" Johnson-George was a contestant on Survivor: Tocantins, in which she came in fourth place. She was blindsided by her former alliance of James "J.T." Thomas, Jr. and Stephen Fishbach. She became the sixth Jury Member.[12] She participated in a 2009 national tour of the Vagina Monologues with an all-black cast, most of whom are also former reality show contestants.[13] SWV appeared on The Mo'Nique Show on February 2, 2010, performing Patti LaBelle's "If Only You Knew". Lelee and Coko provided the lead vocals.
2011–present: I Missed Us[edit]
In 2011, SWV signed a record deal with Mass Appeal Entertainment and E1 Entertainment. On June 10, 2011, SWV was featured on the official remix of Chris Brown's remake of their "Right Here/Human Nature" song, "She Ain't You". SWV released "Co-Sign"[14] on December 15, 2011 via iTunes[15] as the first single from their fourth studio album, I Missed Us. VH1 ranked SWV No. 88 on their 100 Greatest: Women in Music list. Billboard named SWV the No. 7 R&B Act and the No. 2 Top Selling/Airplay R&B Female Group of the 1990s. The track listing for SWV's I Missed Us was released on Amazon.com.[16] The album was released on April 17, 2012 via eOne Music and Mass Appeal Entertainment.[17]
SWV appeared on the television talk show The Wendy Williams Show on April 17, 2012 to promote the release of I Missed Us and to perform the hit song "Co-Sign". The album then went to No. 1 on the iTunes R&B albums chart. On June 1, 2012, SWV announced that their next single to be released from I Missed Us would be "Love Unconditionally". On June 28, 2012 the song "I'm So into You" from the triple platinum album It's About Time was ranked at No. 18 on VH1's 40 Greatest R&B Songs of the '90s. On November 4, 2012, SWV performed on Black Girls Rock!, an organization to inspire young black girls, on BET. On July 7, 2013, during the Essence Music Festival, SWV announced that WE tv green-lit 6 episodes set to air in early 2014 that will detail their lives as a group and individually, professionally and personally. It will also address their 1998 breakup and their subsequent reunion.[18]
- Cheryl "Coko" Clemons (born June 13, 1970, The Bronx, New York) is the Soprano [19] and lead singer of the group known for her distinctive high tone and vocal acrobatics.
- Tamara "Taj" Johnson-George (born April 29, 1971, Brooklyn, New York) is the group's Alto [19] who has a more jazzy and blues sound.

101 Strings
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2010) |
101 Strings | |
Promotional copy of first 101 Strings album, 1957
Background information | |
Genres | Easy listening |
Years active | 1957 | –1981
Labels | Essex Records |
101 Strings Orchestra was a brand for a highly successful easy listening symphonic music organization, with a discography exceeding a hundred albums and a creative lifetime of roughly thirty years beginning in 1957. 101 Strings had a trademark sound, focusing on melody with a laid-back ambiance, most often featuring strings. [1] Their LPs were individualized by the slogan "The Sound of Magnificence", a puffy cloud logo and sepia-toned photo of the orchestra. [2] The 101 Strings orchestra included 124 string instruments (all male except for the harpist) and was conducted by Wilhelm Stephan. The orchestra's famous official photograph was taken in the Musikhalle Hamburg.[3]
Miller and rock and roll[edit]
Record label mogul David L. Miller (born on 4 July 1925, son of Albert L. Miller and Olive-Jane (Bardsley) Miller in Philadelphia, died 24 May 1985 in London) came to prominence by releasing the first Bill Haley & His Comets' records in 1952–1953 on his own Essex label (followed by Trans-World, then Somerset Records).[4] In this capacity, Miller played a role in the creation of rock and roll.
Miller and 101 Strings[edit]
Following the rise of mood music (practitioners Mantovani and Jackie Gleason Presents), Miller subcontracted the Orchester des Nordwestdeutschen Rundfunks Hamburg (the Northwest German Radio Orchestra of Hamburg) conducted by Wilhelm Stephan to play in-house arrangements of popular standards.[5] The first three 101 Strings albums were released in November, 1957, and 12 more titles were released in 1958 (many of which featured recycled material from earlier albums attributed to the New World Orchestra, Rio Carnival Orchestra, and other light music orchestras). These records were pressed by Miller's own plants and released through his own distribution channels (such as grocery stores).
His core staff arrangers were Monty Kelly, Joseph Francis Kuhn and Robert Lowden. All three proved adept at penning original compositions that were stylistically consistent both with contemporary hit songs and each other. Miller placed these on 101 Strings albums to provide additional publishing revenues.
Kelly's earliest successes were Latin and Spanish travelogues (such as the Soul of Spain series) although, following the British Invasion, he became 101 Strings' 'Now Sound' specialist. Kuhn concentrated on radio-friendly numbers in the 'Pops' orchestral manner ("Blues Pizzicato," etc.) which provided Somerset its initial catalog of originals. Lowden penned lounge ballads (such as "Blue Twilight"). Their body of early 1960s work would be recycled via re-release throughout the next twenty years.
Sherman and 101 Strings[edit]
In 1964, Miller sold the franchise to Al Sherman, a successful record label distributor, who renamed the label Alshire (based in Los Angeles, California) and moved recording to London. Sherman retained Miller as a partner to oversee production and A&R. The Alshire era is characterized by large-scale expansion of product, attempts to branch out into younger markets and, beginning in 1969, eventual stagnation (although late efforts by Les Baxter and Nelson Riddle were released under the 101 moniker in 1970). Output decreased from 1974 on. A tribute to John Lennon (composed of earlier Beatle tribute material) in January 1981 marks the final 101 Strings effort.
Although many 101 Strings albums are simply orchestrated versions of pop hits and show tunes, the early Somerset material contains many examples of the exotica and lounge genres. Songs of the Seasons in Japan, Hawaiian Paradise and East of Suez are three such albums. 101 Strings Play the Blues and Back Beat Symphony comprise early experiments in symphonic-pop hybridization, while Fly Me To The Moon contains five noir-ish originals. Alshire releases include 'Now Sound' albums such as Jet Set, Sounds of Today and Astro-Sounds from Beyond the Year 2000, the last of which has been frequently sampled by electronic music artists of the 1990s and 2000s (decade).
Sims and a New 101 Strings[edit]
This possibly contains original research. (April 2012) |
The Alshire catalog was sold to Madacy, Inc. in the 1990s and, under the direction of Greg Sims, a 'New 101 Strings Orchestra' began releasing a series of CDs (including a two-volume Beatles set). 101 Strings compilations were reissued on CD during the 'lounge revival' of the 1990s. Few 101 Strings LPs have been re-released in their original form.
If one goes to the Madacy site to view their 101 Strings collection, exactly the same description that was used on the Bel Canto's ST- 76 two track stereo release about the 101 Strings sound is reprinted. That annoying 50 Hz hum heard on many of those tape recordings was due to the Ampex 350's filtering which was not well suited for European 50 Hz power. The "My Fair Lady" and "King and I" releases have what appears to be the sound of dirty mixing pots used on the fly during those sessions. There were a number of tape releases that sounded like tape copies of pristine Stereo Fidelity vinyl which actually, were not all that pristine. Stereo recordings were made with a triangular cutting stylus. This resulted at times in pinch distortion which early conical styli did not handle well. Inner grooves especially, due to the increased density of the recorded information due to the slower relative movement of the track under the stylus, were more susceptible to distortion with conical styli in use at the time this record was released. The later development of elliptical styli allowed more precise tracking of the track and greatly reduced inner-track distortion.
In the 10 years and 2 months of their existence, 101 Strings sold over 50,000,000 records worldwide. [6]

As part of this partnership, ProQuest/CSA and NBII published eleven issues of SSPP from 2005-2009.
In 2010, ProQuest made a commitment to assume total responsibility for the journal and has committed to continue publishing SSPP as an open-access resource based on the value of its scholarly contribution to the global community. ProQuest is proud to embrace its primary publishing roll and to offer Sustainability: Science, Practice, & Policy as an open-access publication as part of its innovative products and services that are valued by researchers—novice and expert—and the libraries that serve them.
