Stephane Wrembel
Stephane Wrembel is quite simply one of the finest guitar players in the world.
The breadth and range of his playing and compositions are unmatched.
A performance by Wrembel and his band is journey around the world that always ends at a new destination.
"A REVELATION" -David Fricke, Rolling Stone Magazine
"One the greatest guitar players I've ever seen ...and I don't say that lightly."
-Josh Baron, Relix Magazine
"A John Coltrane-ish search for a moment of musical nirvana..."
-Phil Gallo, Variety
"Don't miss this opportunity to see a truly astonishing talent in action."
-All About Jazz
One could call Stephane Wrembel a nomad, a gypsy, a world Traveler, for the music he plays and his lifestyle are expressions of the gypsy way of life.
Born in Paris and raised in Fontainebleau, home of impressionism and Django Reinhardt's music. Wrembel was classically trained in a music conservatory starting at age four.
Stephane's life took a decisive turn in his late teens when he first discovered the music of Django Reinhardt and the Gypsies. He spent the next ten years of his life learning,
playing, and expanding on this musical tradition. This hard work gave Wrembel the technique, but the time spent playing around the campfires and trailers of the Gypsies gave
him the soul - both necessary ingredients for him to master his art form. Stephane's education continued at the Berklee School of Music where after studying contemporary jazz
and world music he graduated summa cum-laude. Soon after he moved to New York City to live and continue his career.
Like New York, Stephane is always in motion, always searching and never stopping in his quest for a new sound...
-Scored the theme to Woody Allen's 2011 Smash Hit
"Midnight In Paris".
-Composed soundtrack music for Woody Allen's 2008
Golden Globe winner "Vicky Cristina Barcelona".
-Recorded his third album with the legendary David Grisman.
-Toured the USA with international master violinist Mark
-Headlined to a capacity crowd at Lincoln Center.
-Gitane Guitar Company producing the "Stephane Wrembel"
model guitar.
-Opened for Rock and Roll Hall of famer Patty Smith.
-Coached Mariah Carey for her role as a singer/guitar player
for her movie, "Tenessee".
-Wrote the full soundtrack for "Goodbye Baby", winner of
director's award at the 2008 Santa Cruz Film Festival.
-Wrote several scores for national TV and radio
commercials, including Arby's, JP Morgan Chase, Cheerio's,
and Frito Lay's.
-Featured in "Gigs Composite" by director Cree Fertita,
winner of 2007 Emmy Award for Advanced Media: Arts and
Stephane has performed at many major music festivals:
-The Rochester International Jazz Festival
-High Sierra Music Festival
-The Berkshire Mountain Festival
-Djangofest San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, New
-Northbeach Jazz Festival
-Jalopi Django Festival
-Whistler international Music Festival
...where he opened and/or performed with Elvis Costello, The Roots, Medeski Martin and Wood, John Scofield, Ryan Montbleau Band, Me'shell Ndegeocello, and Soulive.
4 Critically Acclaimed Albums:
"Terre des hommes" (2008)
Featuring Julien Augier and Ari Folman Cohen.
"Barbes-Brooklyn" (2006)
Featuring Olivier Manchon and Julien Augier.
"The disc shows off Wrembel's limber chops in a variety of settings, including ebullient French-Gypsy swing, moody ballads, sultry raga-influenced numbers and a lithe cover of Mongo Santamaria's 'Afro Blue'. "
-Time out NY
"The Gypsy Rumble" (2005)
Featuring guests David Grisman, Robin Nolan, Brandi Shearer.
"Big Brother" used on Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina
Barcelona" (2008). Released by Amoeba Music.
"Introducing Stephane Wrembel" (2002)
"The french born is pure dazzle and dash, a stunning storm of notes that blankets the melody in a rain of arpeggiated notes."
-Vintage guitar magazine
"Wrembel is hot and swinging and full of emotion. He plays his heart out and has his own flare. His lines are among the sharpest of the gypsy players."
-Just Jazz Guitar
This album is regularly played on the Hot Club de Pott radio station (24 hours of gypsy music), and a few jazz radio stations of Paris, New Jersey and New York.
"Getting Into Gypsy Jazz" (2004)
Method book published and distributed internationally by Mel Bay.
"Stephane Wrembel has a winner with GETTING INTO GYPSY JAZZ GUITAR. The book comes with a play-along CD. Written in English, French, and German, the scales and studies will educate as well as entertain. This book will have a wide appeal to those wishing to master Gypsy guitar techniques. Well-constructed and well-written. A nice guide to the world of Gypsy guitar music!"
Set List
Stephane Wrembel's live performance consists of original compositions, jazz standards and Django classics. Every show is different, no song is ever played the same.

Outside of Solar Week, information, activities, and... (View More) resources are archived and available online at any time. This is an activity about measurements of solar activity. Learners will observe an image of the Sun and sketch major features, plot data to begin to recognize patterns of solar activity, look for long-term patterns in graphed data, compare X-ray and visible light images of the Sun to find solar features common to both sets of images, and make a prediction of what the Sun will look like in a visible light image after observing an X-ray image taken on the same day. This activity is scheduled to occur during Monday of Solar Week. (View Less)
This set of three videos illustrates how math is used in satellite data analysis. The videos feature NASA senior climate scientist Claire Parkinson. Parkinson explains how the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice covers are measured from satellite data and... (View More) how math is used to determine trends in the data. In the first video, she leads viewers from satellite data collection through obtaining a time series of monthly average sea ice extents for November 1978 – December 2012, for the Arctic and Antarctic. In the second video, she begins with the time series from the first video, removes the seasonal cycle by calculating yearly averages, and proceeds to calculate the slopes of the lines to get trends in the data, revealing decreasing sea ice coverage in the Arctic and increasing sea ice coverage in the Antarctic. In the third video, she uses a more advanced technique to remove the seasonal cycle and shows that the trends are close to the same, whichever method is used. She emphasizes the power of math and that the techniques shown for satellite sea ice data can also be applied to a wide range of data sets. (View Less)

Indeed, Mitchell-Lama apartments have long been a plum to hand out to the politically powerful or socially significant. A 1988 Newsday investigation found an array of highly paid, well-connected tenants, including one Mario Cuomo campaign attorney and a former housing authority member, living in oversized apartments in the Cooper Gramercy, for instance. Abuse, of course, is not limited to tenants. Earlier this year, the federal housing agency blocked a 24 percent rent increase for a Brooklyn Mitchell-Lama development after learning of irregularities by its owner, Herman Kraus. (Mitchell-Lama rent increases must be approved by city or state agencies, and the program's goal was to raise rents only so that landlords could realize a 6 percent return.)
"Generally, it's a well-run program, but are there problems? Hell, yes," says Bob Willos, cochair of the Mitchell-Lama Residents Coalition. "Of course there are people living in these buildings who shouldn't be; people who are too wealthy, or squatters, or someone's brother-in-law. Yeah, there's been corruption. But it's probably the best middle-income housing program in the United States because enough of it is doing what it's supposed to do."

In an exclusive interview to Zee News on Monday evening, Narendra Modi shared some rather interesting insights about his life and politics. In a first on television, Narendra Modi revealed his views on issues as diverse as foreign policy to secularism.
In the interview, Narendra Modi claimed that he was like any other person and that he too had his weaknesses, he added that even though he was an OBC he never mentioned it within the BJP and has never made a public display of his humble background.
When asked about the security risks and the large number of threats that the IB believes he faces, Modi said he was never concerned about his security and believes God protects him all the time. This view he claimed was solidified after the blasts that occurred at his rally in Bihar.
On being asked if what he would do if he did not win the Lok Sabha elections, Modi laughed saying that he'd go back to being a chai-walla if he did not win the elections. On the issue of corruption Modi said he neither wanted to be seen as vindictive or as an impediment to fighting corruption and would prefer if the law took its own course, he promised though there would be no political interference in any criminal cases involving corruption.
Modi ended the interview praising the youth and stating that the young generation is smart enough to make its own opinion and he hoped that they would go out and vote in large numbers in the largest festival that our democracy offers us.

My day so far.
Early morning have to run (well guess we'll drive) to Hartsville to pick up Mac's new specs from Walmart's Vision Center…after finding out this weekend when cleaning the pond that the pond clarifier in my Koi pond is close to electrocuting me and must go to Lowes to buy a new one ( Pond Clarifier…they have one)…buy other stuff too. Flowers, dirt, seed…then head for Bojangles for bacon egg and cheese biscuit and cup of the worst coffee I have ever had. The place is nearly empty just a few old folks who seem to be holding a meeting of some sort. Fnish gagging down coffee that is half water and half grounds. Go to the truck and head out towards home, but decide to stop at McLeods Farms in McBee to buy strawberries, get out of the truck.
ME: Where is my purse?
HE: Did you put it in the back seat?
ME: "No, OMG I had to have left it in Bojangles…"
Get back in truck and return the 14 miles to Bojangles…worry about the cards that will have to be replaced…credit card drivers license Military ID should my pretty little silver purse be MIA forever.
Me: Well at least it was only a bunch of old farts in there (yeah yeah, I know)
He: Old farts are as apt to steal your purse as young brats.
Me: I don't want to think that…it says so much about our generation that I prefer not to dwell upon."
Get back to Bojangles then get purse where thankfully they had locked it in a safe…forgive them for nasty coffee….back toward home where once again we stop at McLeods for strawberries and I spend 70+dollars (not just on strawberries) in celebration of all being intact in my wallet…get home put all the stuff up contemplate boiling goobers, go out to hook up clarifier…five minute job takes 2 hours.
Mac walks dogs while I silently curse the hoses and clamps that don't work…Mac comes to the rescue and the pond is good to go, we come in…watching Shepherd Smith on Fox…
Me: Shep has had a butt lift, I am sure of it. Several beats and I am thinking Mac will have something to say about that comment.
He: "What are you doing looking at Shep's butt?"
I swear I had just thought he was going to ask me that…should I tell him I was just trying to get out of the Old Farts club?

Product description
In a world of violence and intrigue, who guards the truth? It is 1498, dawn of the Renaissance, and Venice teems with rumors about an ancient book believed to hold the secrets of power alchemy, love, and even immortality. Some will stop at nothing to find it; others will die to protect it. As intrigue grips Her Most Serene Republic, Luciano, a light-fingered, streetwise orphan, gets caught up in the madness. The doge s enigmatic chef takes him into the palace kitchen as an apprentice, where he is initiated into the chef s deliciously mysterious world itself alive with dangerous secrets. After Luciano witnesses an inexplicable murder, he embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth. What he discovers will test his loyalty, show him the dark side of men s souls, and threaten his love for an audacious convent girl. But it will also swing open the shutters of his mind, and leave an indelible mark on his soul. A luminous and seductive novel, "The Chef s Apprentice "is, at its heart, a high-spirited tribute to the fruits of knowledge and the extraordinary power of those who hold its key.

I've been tasked with adding a recaptcha field to our front-facing self service password reset page that is provided via FIM 2010 R2. I am not too familiar with ASP. I have added the recaptcha control, and it is successfully communicating with Google to pull in/refresh the image.
I am unsure of how to validate the recaptcha answer. Do I put the recaptcha validation code in the event handler for the submit button? Or do I add it to the validation for the whole page itself? Some other method?
Further, is this even a rational thing to do? I am wondering about warranty implications when we go in and start screwing with Microsoft's code.
Any info is appreciated.

32,214 Hydraulic Equipment Users Can't Be Wrong...
What Do You Do When Your Hydraulic Machine Breaks Down at 10pm on a Sunday Night?
Don't worry - now you can have a hydraulics expert at your disposal 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for next to nothing... AND $185 of FREE stuff if you read this NOW!
Dear Hydraulics User,
Does your hydraulic equipment ever let you down?
Not yet, maybe. But just like every other type of mechanical equipment, it can give trouble at any time. And when it does, you need the right expertise. Trouble is...
Good Help is Hard to Find
But now YOU CAN have a hydraulics expert at your disposal 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year - and for peanuts. His name is Peter Rohner. And he's a hydraulics engineer with 42 years of experience - experience that can save you a bundle. .
Take, as an example, seal failure in hydraulic cylinders. Do you know that 26 percent of cylinder seal failures are caused by bent rods? There are a number of reasons why cylinder rods bend. Peter Rohner shows you how to determine the underlying cause and the ways to correct it - on pages 58 and 59 of his hydraulics book.
During his 26 years as a University lecturer, thousands of people have gained from Rohner's expertise. And through his books on hydraulics and pneumatics, tens of thousands more have profited from his knowledge. You will too.
Now in its fourth edition and with 32,214 copies in print, Rohner's book is possibly THE most popular hydraulics manual on the planet. Heck, it's even been translated into Turkish! But don't let me tell you how good it is - here's a small sample of what others have said:
Even though it's title is 'Industrial Hydraulic Control', the information it contains is just as relevant to mobile hydraulics. These days, topics such as slip-in cartridge valves (logic elements), variable pump controls, proportional and servo control and PLCs are just as relevant to mobile hydraulics as they are to industrial hydraulics.
And if you don't read much, it doesn't matter. This is not the type of book you sit down and read from cover to cover anyway. It's more like an encyclopaedia or dictionary. An expert reference you keep handy and refer to when you need to know something about hydraulics.
There is something in Industrial Hydraulic Control for everyone - hydraulic equipment owner, mechanic, technician, engineer and student, from novice to pro. Here's what's included in each chapter, and the powerful knowledge you'll gain:
Hydraulic Cylinders
Hydraulic Pumps
Variable Pump Controls
Hydraulic Motors
Directional Control Valves
Hose and Fittings
Pressure Control Valves
Cartridge Valves and Logic Elements
Flow Control Valves
Hydraulic Oils
Proportional and Servo Control
Pneumatic Logic Control
Programmable Logic Controllers
Physical Principles
Hydraulic Symbols and Formulas
A lifetime of hydraulics knowledge is yours
OK, you could spend years figuring all this stuff out for yourself. But why do it the hard way? Especially when Industrial Hydraulic Control lays it all out for you in a logical, easy-to-understand format.
Even if you're not into reading, it doesn't matter. This is not the kind of book you'd sit down and read from cover to cover anyway. It's more like an encyclopaedia or dictionary. You keep it handy and refer to it when you need to know something - about hydraulics.
I personally spend thousands of dollars every year adding to my technical library - and I've got one of the most extensive private fluid power libraries around. Based on what I've paid for comparable books, the right price for Industrial Hydraulic Control is $165 - the chapter on PLCs alone is worth $30. But if you order Industrial Hydraulic Control online before midnight on it's yours for only $129 That's a saving of $36 on what you would pay for a comparable book.
This is a great deal already, but if you order Industrial Hydraulic Control online before I'll ALSO throw in 8 FREE Bonuses valued at $185!

Across the estuary from Padstow is the charming village of Rock; its popularity with celebrities draws in crowds during the summer months, most wanting to be part of the affluent culture. However, it is out of season that the beauty of Rock can truly be appreciated. It has a beautiful mile long sandy beach that is punctuated with sand dunes and the crystal waters of the Camel Estuary.
During the day there is a ferry that runs between Padstow and Rock plus additional water taxis which run into the evening.
Padstow is a small fishing town nestled around a bustling harbour on the North Cornwall coast, just a few miles from Newquay. Its protected location in the Camel Estuary means visitors to Padstow can sit and enjoy watching the boats land their catch, try their hand at some fishing or enjoy some delicious cuisine in one of Padstow's many cafes and restaurants
Between Rock and Padstow the choices of where to eat are extensive and delectable. Choose from Michelin starred and celebrity Chefs (Paul Ripley of Ripleys, Rick Stein's café, restaurant and bistro) plus many other restaurants and cafes that offer fine cuisine that won't disappoint even the most discernable foodie. Not to be left out, there are many bakeries and fish shops where you'll find a traditional Cornish pasty and a fantastic fish and chip supper!
There is also a fantastic 18 hole golf course at St Enodoc in Rock (within 5 minutes walk) where you can enjoy some of the finest golfing in the country along with some of the greatest sea and estuary views.
The beach is only 50metres from Trehayl. Here you can relax or for the more active enjoys sailing or watwerskiing organised by the watersports team on the beach.

"Superb views and pool , the best we've stayed at."
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Trehayl and again it was able to instantly relax us all. We all enjoy the house and the pool is really special.The views and accessability for Padstow make this the best place we've stayed at in 20years of coming to Cornwall. The welcome pack is always great and the only shame is 7days have never gone by so quickly!.
Thank you for reviewing Trehayl. It is good to hear returning guests enjoying their holiday as much the second time!

"Outstanding - the best holiday property ever"
Truly outstanding.
Trehayl has to be one of the most amazing houses available as a holiday property.
We searched long and hard over the whole area of Padstow/Rock - and had a shortlist of other fantastic looking houses - but have to say, without doubt, we had the very best. The attention to detail, the comfort, the welcoming touch, the views, the quality - all outstanding.
If you are in any doubt whether to book - please do not hesitate. It is superb.
Cannot wait to go again.
Thank you for taking the time to review Trehayl. I am delighted you enjoyed your holiday, I am also pleased that the small details are noticed and appreciated - Thank you.

"Trehayl - the Cornish property that will never disappoint!"
We have stayed at Trehayl in 2010/11 in May and June respectively, and in both good and inclement weather we had our dream Cornish holiday. The property is top class with excellent amenities, standard of finish and comfort for all age groups. The children adore the space and position within Rock together with the fabulous heated pool. The house offers plenty of room so that as a family of four with grandparents in tow, everyone was able to enjoy their own space when needed! The views are exceptional and regardless of weather you feel like you are able to enjoy an outdoor holiday without even stepping out of the door! Communal spaces are very sociable and a pleasure to be in. Furthermore the bedrooms are extremely comfortable with fully equipped and high standard ensuites. To cap it all, Padstow, Polzeath and the adjacent Cornish coastline are all nearby and provide fantastic days out, not forgetting the beautiful St Enodoc golf course 2 mins walk from the house.
Thank you for taking the time to review Trehayl. I am very pleased the house lived up to your expectations both in good weather and bad. Kind regards, Julie

When green isn't good enough: The phosphate issue
In reaction to multi-state restrictions, dish detergent makers have done away with the 'magic' ingredient that gives dishes that spot-free sparkle: Phosphates. But not everyone is so happy about it ...

The New York Times recently published an insightful article detailing the consumer frustration-bordering-on-furor generated by The Household Detergent and Nutrient Runoff Law enacted in July in 17 states. Because of the new restrictions, many dish detergent manufacturers have retooled their formulas to include drastically less phosphates, a naturally occurring chemical added to dishwashing detergents (and once upon a time, laundry detergents) that can taint lakes, rivers, and other fresh water systems once washed down the drain.
While good for the sparkle-hood of your dishes, phosphates are detrimental to the livelihood of fishes: when they enter water systems, algae starts to grow like gangbusters leading to the creation of dead zones, oxygen-starved areas where, as described by The National Ocean Service, "habitats that would normally be teeming with life become, essentially, biological deserts."
The phosphates crackdown originally started in Washington, which lead to a whole lot of unhappy dishwashers crossing states lines to purchase contraband, phosphate-laden detergents and bring them back home. Now, with the levels of phosphates in detergents dropping to .5 percent from as high as 8.7 percent, folks are unhappy just about everywhere.
Why? Because many consumers believe that the fish-friendly alternatives to phosphate-based detergents simply don't work. Thena Reynolds of Texas is part of that camp, saying that "low-phosphate dish detergents are a waste of my money. If I'm using more water and detergent, is that saving anything? There has to be a happy medium somewhere."
More than just touching down on the primal need many homemakers have for phosphate-based dish detergents, the NYT article addresses the questionable effectiveness of earth-friendly alternatives in general:
Yet now, with the content reduced, many consumers are finding the new formulas as appealing as low-flow showers, underscoring the tradeoffs that people often face today in a more environmentally conscious marketplace. From hybrid cars to solar panels, environmentally friendly alternatives can cost more. They can be less convenient, like toting cloth sacks or canteens rather than plastic bags or bottled water. And they can prove less effective, like some of the new cleaning products.
Click here to read the whole article. It's a thought-provoking piece that balances out the pros and cons of green alternatives and even includes a quote from one of my favorite people: Ivette Melendez of WAGES (Women's Action to Gain Economic Security) who says: "There's the myth that to be clean it has to shine or smell or make a lot of bubbles."
I'd love to hear about your experiences with low- and phosphate-free dish detergents in the comments section. Have you noticed a huge difference in the cleanliness of your dishes now that many big-name brands have retooled their once phosphate-heavy formulas? Have you found a particular eco-friendly brand that does just as good as job keeping your dishes shiny and spot-free?

Just because Steve-O is now cleaned-up doesn't mean he's slowing down. For the outrageous star, what was once a bleak future now beams brightly thanks to sobriety, the phenomenal success of Jackass 3D in theaters and with his latest endeavor, a legitimate career in stand-up.
Known for his over-the-top and sometimes just plain disgusting antics on Jackass as well as its spin-off, Wildboyz, the daredevil born Stephen Glover is bringing his freshly polished stage act to comedy clubs across the country. He stops at the Irvine Improv later this week for six shows across four nights that he says will include stand-up as well as "bar tricks."
He didn't elaborate on what kinds of "tricks" those might be -- but one can safely assume, based on what he's done on television and in movies, they won't be tame.
"It's been a little bit of an uphill battle to get people to believe that I'm doing a good job at stand-up," he says during a recent phone interview. "It's just a matter of getting them there. I've been really working on it hard."
Steve-O's interest in developing an act was re-sparked, he says, after living through the filming of the latest Jackass installment. He has dabbled in the art for the past four years, but after re-entering the spotlight after a two-year stay in a sober living facility, the 36-year-old felt he was ready to take on more responsibility.
"Doing Jackass 3D sober didn't really make doing a lot of the stunts easier," he points out. "But creatively I came up with a lot of them and actually wrote a lot more for it than I did for any of the other stuff. It was important for me to prove to myself, and to the world at large, that sobriety hasn't turned me into a boring, lame sissy, and that's what I'm doing with stand-up, too. We'll see what happens, but I'm really excited."
He insists his act is entirely true and is at times embarrassing, even for him.
"It's my real life … experiences that revolve around exploiting the notoriety that's come my way from Jackass. There's commentary on the downward spiral that the world in which Jackass is the barometer for, and there's some filthy stuff like how I'm so horrible in bed."
Since he wasn't sober throughout much of his work as part of Johnny Knoxville's extreme crew, I wondered if anyone has verified his stories for accuracy. He just chuckled: "It's all pretty unforgettable -- really unforgettable."
Comedian Dane Cook also has stepped in to help Steve-O fine-tune his performances. A couple of months ago Cook sat him down after a set at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles and gave notes on how to tweak aspects of his act. "With his help and the encouragement of (Laugh Factory owner) Jamie Masada I've been going nonstop," he says.
Steve-O's love of cinematography -- and for risky stunts that sometimes result in severe pain -- began when he was just 15 and attending high school in London. He found a video camera his father had won in a golf tournament and just couldn't put it down.
"He stuffed it into his closet and paid no attention to it. I took it and started filming myself and my buddies skateboarding all over town, and as the years went on and I became realistic about being terrible at skateboarding, I was more persistent with the camera."
After graduating he moved to the U.S. to attend the University of Miami in hopes of becoming a creative advertising assistant. But he wasn't able to make it to his classes on a regular basis -- or at all.
"I felt ill-quipped to make it in the world on the basis of studying and going to class and holding down any kind of real job," he says. "So I dropped out. I was determined to make a career out of being a crazy (bleep). I honestly didn't feel that I had it in me to make a living any other way. In the most literal sense, it was a do-or-die mission. With that commitment, I was either going to pull it off or die trying."
Along the way he joined the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College with the purpose of being able to brag about being a circus guy, in an attempt to legitimize his outlandish behavior. He wasn't too far into that clown career when producer/director Jeff Tremaine, who was working with Knoxville to create a reality show, saw some of Steve-O's skate videos and the wild, comedic stunts he had incorporated into them.>

Third SAS training soldier who died was based in Bath
A third army reserve soldier who died from injuries sustained during SAS selection training in the Brecon Beacons has been named by the Ministry of Defence as Corporal James Dunsby based in Bath.
Soldier's family: 'Hurrah & Huzzah for James Dunsby'
The family of Corporal James Dunsby have paid a loving tribute to him, saying "a greater man you could not meet".
Cpl Dunsby became the third army reserve soldier to die from injuries sustained during SAS selection training in the Brecon Beacons.
His family said: "James was and will remain a dearly loved, son, brother and husband. He had the uniquely wonderful ability to endear, enchant and captivate all who he met with his naughty sense of humour and highly intelligent wit.
"With James as your friend you were ensured loyalty, strength, allegiance, protection and most of all a damn good laugh. James adored the Army and believed so passionately in his duty as a protector of Queen and country and of the realm.
"James was so dearly loved by so many and will be sorely missed. Hurrah & Huzzah for James Dunsby; a greater man you could not meet."
Marine death not 'friendly fire'
An initial review into the deaths of a Royal Marine in Afghanistan has revealed it was not caused by "friendly fire", the Ministry of Defence has said.
27 year-old Corporal David O'Connor was serving with 40 Commando, based in Taunton.
He was killed while on patrol in Helmand Province on Wednesday.
Corporal Channing Day from 3 Medical Regiment was also killed. Both were deployed to Afghanistan last month to help train Afghan National Security Forces.
An Afghan man, who is believed to have been a member of the Afghan Uniformed Police also died during the incident, an MOD spokesperson confirmed.
He added that the deaths were not the result of a "friendly fire" incident but that investigations into who was responsible could take some time.
Redundancies in armed forces announced
More than a thousand armed forces personnel are being informed today that they must quit the services as part of efforts to control defence spending.
It is unclear how many people in our region will be affected by these latest cuts to be announced by the Ministry of Defence.
A large number of people in the south west have already lost their jobs in previous rounds of cutbacks.
30% of the 3,800 confirmed redundancies are compulsory - with the bulk coming from the Army, which is facing the biggest overall cuts.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said fewer than expected were being axed from the Royal Navy and the RAF due to other measures such as slowed recruitment.
In total, 170 and 330 personnel from those two services are receiving notices - 29% of them on a compulsory basis.

Robert Pattinson has sent fans crazy by saying 'nobody would give a s***' about him if he hadn't starred in Twilight. And although omg! beg to differ, Vampire Diaries star Joseph Morgan agrees with his fellow British star.
Joseph, who plays Klaus in the series, told omg! exclusively: "Provided he didn't mess it all up, Robert was guaranteed a fan base thanks to Twilight," Joseph told us.
[Related story: Robert Pattinson says nobody would care if it wasn't for Twilight]
[Related gallery: Robert Pattinson photos]
"His character is iconic and there's a huge following of the books but there's a tremendous amount of pressure that comes with that.
"People have their own very distinctive ideas of how a character should be portrayed especially when you're playing a vampire."
Hot stuff: Joseph who plays Klaus in Vampire Diaries agress with Robert Pattinson /ITV pictures
But the gorgeous star admits that Robert has needed more than just Edward Cullen to turned him into a superstar.
He said: "Having the talent helped, Robert is quite charming and humble in the press during interviews which helps.

And Joseph revealed that he has the same fear as RPattz about being typecast, adding:
"I do worry thought that after Vampire Diaries finishes how many fans will come with me to watch other projects that I do and if it's just the vampire phenomenon that made us [me and Robert] famous. It's harder for Robert though."
Judging by Joseph's looks, we don't think it's just talent or the acting gig he's got that draws the fans in but it's clearly something he worries about.
"It's too early to say if I think I've been typecast, but I've been forced to take on different roles but I'm not going to lie I have done jobs just to pay the rent."
And action! Joseph Morgan with and Paul Wesley in Vampire Diaries /ITV Pictures
Naturally we had to ask if he'd like to reach the dizzy Hollywood heights that Robert has to which he replied rather diplomatically…
"That guy is more famous than anyone at the moment, of course I'd like to have Robert Pattinson's career but I don't like the whole celebrity aspect of it.
"I'm not interested in having a photo shoot in a magazine it allows people to buy into you too much. I'm not against talking about my personal life but I don't want it to be a soap opera.
"I'm not saying Robert's is, but he can't escape it - like the gossip around who is he dating, I don't want all that."
Red hot: Joseph look gorgeous in character /ITV Pictures
But that's what we REALLY need to know! Our final question to the actor was if he watched Twilight in preparation for his role in Vampire Diaries…
"I watched the first one but didn't want to play it the same as Robert.
"I thought he was good, there are so many parallels drawn between Twilight and Vampire Diaries that it was better for me not to watch it."
Joseph, we think your life would be better with Twilight (and Vampire Diaries) in it, ours certainly is!
Season 3 of The Vampire Diaries will be returning to ITV2 later this month, but if you can't wait any longer check out the brand new episodes which are available to download from iTunes, or catch up with season 1 and 2 on DVD - out now.

Jordan Hall, Building 420 Room 470
My primary interest is in the neural basis of emotion. I believe that a certain class of neurotransmitters (the biogenic amines) can powerfully modulate emotional experience at specific brain locations. I have addressed this topic with progressively more intricate methods including self-report, measurement of nonverbal behavior, comparative ethology, psychopharmacology, and functional brain imaging. My long-term goal is to understand the neurochemical and neuroanatomical mechanisms responsible for emotional experience and to explore the implications of these findings for the assessment and treatment of clinical disorders of affect and addiction, as well as economic behavior.

(UPDATE: Wow, guys, you really got the story out--it's all over the web! And special thanks to Keith Olbermann for citing this story on "Worst Person in the World" tonight. I think we can all agree that Ashcroft's "Honor" was well deserved. You can see the "Worst Person in the World" segment here.)
Earlier today, I promised you Kossacks an eyewitness account of John Ashcroft's speech on "Leadership in Troubled Times" at Knox College this evening, which I just got back from attending. So, while it's still fresh in my mind, here's how it went--including the question I asked that made him lose his cool completely. (Pictures courtesy of the Galesburg Register Online.)
Knox College is a liberal arts college, in every sense of the word "liberal." Out of approximately 1400 students, the Knox College Republicans can claim only six members. Although we're a tiny college, we attract very prestigious Democrats to come speak: Barack Obama, Stephen Colbert, and Bill Clinton were our last three commencement speakers. (This year Madeleine Albright will be commencement speaker.) Not to be outdone, this year the College Republicans managed to raise $15,000 to entice Ashcroft to come speak.
The past week has been a tense one on campus. Many people planned to protest the speech. Almost every poster advertising Ashcroft's visit was defaced. Immature and vulgar anti-Ashcroft pamphlets were scattered around campus, encouraging students to disrupt the speech and featuring a picture of Uncle Sam and the slogan "YOU FUCK WITH MY FREEDOM, I FUCK WITH YOU." The Dean of Students sent out an email warning students not to disrupt the speech, but assuring us that there would be a question and answer session afterwards for students to pose tough questions to Ashcroft if they wished.
As I walked toward the Center for the Fine Arts, where the speech was being held, I could see that the Dems and Amnesty had been busy: the sidewalk leading up to CFA was covered with anti-Ashcroft slogans written in chalk ("Ashcroft is a Torturer!" "The 'Patriot' Act is no such thing!" "Abu Ghraib: Brought to you by John Ashcroft" etc.), and someone had hung a large banner over the door proclaiming "Domestic Terrorist." Another banner was hung on the side of Old Main, the historic center of campus and the site of one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates a hundred and fifty odd years ago. When Lincoln spoke there, the students hung up a banner reading "Knox College for Lincoln." Tonight, a new banner read "Fascists for Ashcroft." The inside of CFA was plastered with anti-Ashcroft and anti-Bush posters, but I didn't stop to read them.
The theater was packed--I got there five minutes early, and not only was every seat taken, but the aisles too were practically packed. Outside the door into the theater, one student was lying motionless on a plank made to resemble a waterboard with her hands cuffed and a black hood over her face. As I took a seat in an aisle, I spotted another student standing just below the video cameras, wearing an orange jumpsuit, handcuffs, and a black hood. (He stood there, motionless, through the entire speech and the questions afterward.) Several students were holding a sign reading "Hey John, how's it feel to lose to a dead guy?" The speech was open to the public, so about forty townies were there, too, scattered among the students. (Galesburg is a very conservative town in some ways, with a very high church-to-population ratio, but generally votes Democratic due to a very, very bad economy.) Several students--myself included--had come with prepared questions. The mood in the crowd was one of eager anticipation.
The president of the Knox Republicans introduced Ashcroft, detailing his political career and describing him as a man who "the president himself" considers "a man of great integrity" (scattered laughter from the crowd), "who works hard to protect our freedoms and liberties" (louder laughter), "and who has tirelessly upheld our Constitution" (uproarious laughter). Nonetheless, the students all gave Ashcroft a polite round of applause as he entered, as well as a steady flashing of cameras at the stage. (A girl next to me snapped to a friend, "Take a picture, gees, it's John FUCKING Ashcroft!")
I must give the man credit for this much: he has a sense of humor. He began his speech by saying he was impressed that we chose to listen to him rather than watching the Pennsylvania primary coverage, which got him a good laugh from the audience. He then thanked the student who introduced him for not mentioning his various political losses. "I may be the only guy ever to lose a re-election bid to the Senate to a deceased opponent," he joked, prompting another round of hearty laughter. As he began his opening jokes, a row of student protesters down front lifted their hands, which had been dyed red. Ashcroft ignored them for a while, then finally asked, irritably, "Is somebody holding a gun on these students or something? What's that stuff on your hands, is that supposed to mean something?"
"Blood," one student responded.
"Blood, huh?" said Ashcroft. "Seems these young folks think they have blood on their hands, and want to show it off to everyone. Come on, take a good look at them!" The students continued to hold up their hands, so Ashcroft went on with his speech.
His speaking voice is loud and gruff, and he spoke without notecards. He also spoke seemingly without a plan--he rambled on about various topics, got sidetracked often, and repeated himself. Most of the speech was, predictably, a justification of the Patriot Act and the Bush Administration, and wiretapping in particular. (He used the word "surveil" eight times by my count, and prompted a rousing round of laughter for explaining that "in the eighties, roving wiretaps were used to catch drug dealers..." and then, in an undertone, "...and other people.") About halfway through his speech, the red-handed protesters stood up in unison and put black hoods over their heads. "Sit down!" barked an old man from town. "We can't see!"
"Neither can they!" replied Ashcroft. "They've got bags on their heads!"
He continued: "But while we're on the subject, I'd like to say a few things about these kids. They don't want to see. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see. They don't want to see."
"They can still hear!" someone retorted from the back of the audience before being shushed. Ashcroft ignored the outburst and went on talking about how 9/11 necessitated a change in the role of the Attorney General from a prosecutor of crimes to a preventer of crimes.
Afterwards, two microphones were set up so that students could ask questions. The questions covered a variety of subjects, including the Bush Administration's denial of funding to gay rights groups (asked by a male student wearing a dress and a sunhat whom Ashcroft seemed unsure of how to respond to before finally saying, "Um, I don't know why I would concern...concern myself with that."), Ashcroft's position on immigration ("I am in favor of legal immigration, it made this country great."), Ashcroft's position on religion ("I would hope that if somebody accused me of being a Christian, there would be enough evidence to convict me. But nobody has the right to force their religious opinions on other people or to disrespect other people's faith." It was the only reasonable thing he said all night, and earned him a big round of applause.), and, of course, some idiot wasted a question to ask, "Do you have a soul? How do you sleep at night?" (to which Ashcroft angrily responded that only God can judge that, and the questioner was roundly booed by the entire audience).
But the most common questions, as expected, related to his position on "enhanced interrogation techniques," a subject which he completely avoided in his speech and a subject which provoked him into flashes of anger and irritation whenever a student brought it up. One student, Tom, asked about the ABC news story from a few weeks ago, detailing how Ashcroft had discussed specific methods of torture with Rice, Powell, Tenet, and Rumsfeld in the White House:
TOM: This story was made public by ABC a few weeks ago. It claims that you, Rice, Tenet and others met in the White House to discuss different methods of "enhanced interrogation," is that correct?
ASHCROFT: (angrily) Correct? Is what correct? Is it correct that this story ran on ABC? I don't know that. I don't know anything about it! Is it a real story? When was this story, huh? Huh?
TOM: Um, early April, April 9th, I think...
ASHCROFT: (interrupting) You think? You think? You don't even know! Next question!
TOM: The article says that you discussed "whether they would be slapped, pushed, deprived of sleep or subjected to simulated drowning"...
ASHCROFT: I said, next question!
Another student asked if Ashcroft's position on torture violated the Geneva Conventions or other international laws:
ASHCROFT: No. No it doesn't violate the Geneva Conventions. As for other laws, well, the U.S. is a party to the United Nations Convention against Torture. And that convention, well, when we join a treaty like that we send it to the Senate to be ratified, and when the Senate ratifies they often add qualifiers, reservations, to the treaty which affect what exactly we follow. Now, I don't have a copy of the convention in front of me...
ME: (holding up my copy) I do! (boisterous applause and whistling from the audience) Would you like to borrow it?
ASHCROFT: (after a pause) Uh, you keep a hold of it. Now, as I was saying, I don't have it with me but I'm pretty sure it defines torture as something that leaves lasting scars or physical damage...
A STUDENT FROM THE AUDIENCE: Liar! You liar! (the student is shushed by the audience)
ASHCROFT: So no, waterboarding does not violate international law.
Finally, I got to ask my question about waterboarding--and the result was, of course, the reason for this diary's title:
(Note: Yes, that is actually me in the photo.)
ME: First off, Mr. Ashcroft, I'd like to apologize for the rudeness of some of my fellow students. It was uncalled for--we can disagree civilly, we don't need that. (round of applause from the audience, and Ashcroft smiles) I have here in my hand two documents. One of them, you know, is the text of the United Nations Convention against Torture, which, point of interest, says nothing about "lasting physical damage"...
ASHCROFT: (interrupting) Do you have the Senate reservations to it?
ME: No, I don't. Do you happen to know what they are?
ASHCROFT: (angrily) I don't have them memorized, no. I don't have time to go around memorizing random legal facts. I just don't want these people in the audience to go away saying, "He was wrong, she had the proof right in her hand!" Because that's not true. It's a lie. If you don't have the reservations, you don't have anything. Now, if you want to bring them another time, we can talk, but...
ME: Actually, Mr. Ashcroft, my question was about this other document. (laughter and applause) This other document is a section from the judgment of the Tokyo War Tribunal. After WWII, the Tokyo Tribunal was basically the Nuremberg Trials for Japan. Many Japanese leaders were put on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including torture. And among the tortures listed was the "water treatment," which we nowadays call waterboarding...
ASHCROFT: (interrupting) This is a speech, not a question. I don't mind, but it's not a question.
ME: It will be, sir, just give me a moment. The judgment describes this water treatment, and I quote, "the victim was bound or otherwise secured in a prone position; and water was forced through his mouth and nostrils into his lungs and stomach." One man, Yukio Asano, was sentenced to fifteen years hard labor by the allies for waterboarding American troops to obtain information. Since Yukio Asano was trying to get information to help defend his country--exactly what you, Mr. Ashcroft, say is acceptible for Americans to do--do you believe that his sentence was unjust? (boisterous applause and shouts of "Good question!")
ASHCROFT: (angrily) Now, listen here. You're comparing apples and oranges, apples and oranges. We don't do anything like what you described.
ME: I'm sorry, I was under the impression that we still use the method of putting a cloth over someone's face and pouring water down their throat...
ASHCROFT: (interrupting, red-faced, shouting) Pouring! Pouring! Did you hear what she said? "Putting a cloth over someone's face and pouring water on them." That's not what you said before! Read that again, what you said before!
ME: Sir, other reports of the time say...
ASHCROFT: (shouting) Read what you said before! (cries of "Answer her fucking question!" from the audience) Read it!
ME: (firmly) Mr. Ashcroft, please answer the question.
ASHCROFT: (shouting) Read it back!
ME: "The victim was bound or otherwise secured in a prone position; and water was forced through his mouth and nostrils into his lungs and stomach."
ASHCROFT: (shouting) You hear that? You hear it? "Forced!" If you can't tell the difference between forcing and pouring...does this college have an anatomy class? If you can't tell the difference between forcing and pouring...
ME: (firmly and loudly) Mr. Ashcroft, do you believe that Yukio Asano's sentence was unjust? Answer the question. (pause)
ASHCROFT: (more restrained) It's not a fair question; there's no comparison. Next question! (loud chorus of boos from the audience)
At the end of the question and answer session, Ashcroft left the stage to a smattering of applause from the students and a standing ovation from the townies. As soon as he left, I got mobbed by students (and even a professor) trying to shake my hand and thank me for my question. The reporter from the student newspaper who was covering the event asked for my name and class so he could quote me in the article. When I walked out of the theater, I got another round of applause and congratulations. (I have to admit, I am enjoying being a campus hero.)
My final verdict on Ashcroft: this is what Hannah Arendt meant by "the banality of evil." He seems like a normal guy (albeit one with some real anger issues), and yet...well, I don't need to finish that sentence. Nonetheless, I'm very, very glad I went, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
(I just found this on Youtube--it's short, but it has a clip of me asking my question, although not his answer to me. It does give clips of his answers to the other questions about waterboarding, though.)

policy level. To make the consumption of healthier foods more affordable, government subsidies could be provided to specialty crops rather than to commodity crops such as corn. Employers perhaps could reward workers who follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Mattes said fairness is one reason he is not in favor of a soda tax, because it differentially isolates low-income populations, even though he recognizes the role of these beverages in the energy-balance problem.
Mattes said his review of the literature indicates that meal frequency, particularly snacking, may be a substantive contributor to weight gain. Americans are eating perhaps an extra half-meal or so per day, often a high-calorie snack. Hu said reducing soft drinks and unhealthy snacks are two main problems to address in improving health.
