Dr. Theo Hagg is Quillen's chair of Biomedical Sciences. (Contributed)
A neuroscientist known for his research on spinal cord injuries, adult stem cells, and strokes has joined the administrative staff at East Tennessee State University's James H. Quillen College of Medicine.
Dr. Theo Hagg is Quillen's chair of Biomedical Sciences. He came to ETSU from the University of Louisville, where he was an endowed professor and served as associate scientific director of the Kentucky Spinal Cord Injury Research Center.
He grew up in Pretoria, South Africa, and holds two doctorates. His first, a doctor of medicine, was earned at the University of Leiden in The Netherlands. He was later awarded a Ph.D. degree from the University of California, San Diego.
At ETSU, Hagg's laboratory will continue work on two research initiatives, funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health. For almost 30 years, Hagg has done research to develop drug treatments for brain and spinal cord disorders.
In collaboration with colleagues at the University of Louisville, Hagg received NIH grant funding of almost $200,000 per year, starting 12 years ago, to examine the effect of spinal cord injuries on small blood vessels in the damaged area.
"Our focus is what happens immediately after the injury," Hagg said. "Over the first day after the injury, small blood vessels die. We are looking at why the secondary degeneration progresses. Why, we ask, do endothelial cells die? What growth factors are lacking? It's vital to try to rescue cells within the first 24 hours."
Hagg's research involves exploration of a drug that could be introduced intravenously to rescue blood vessels, thereby reducing tissue loss and improving neurological function.
"Time is critical," Hagg said. "Intravenous injection can be done easily and quickly, and it gets to the endothelial cells, which are the first to die."
Hagg's other NIH grant, recently renewed in the amount of approximately $300,000 annually for the next five years, deals with stem cells that reside in the brain.
"Could we actually use these stem cells to coax them to make more brain cells?" Hagg asks. "Ultimately, could we then replace the lost cells after a stroke?"
Hagg says researchers could easily spend the next 50 years studying how cells respond to stroke, all with the intention of improving neurological function using medical drugs that stimulate this repair process.
"Specifically, we are working to identify molecules in the brain that replicate new cell formation from stem cells."
Despite the demands of running such a large department at the ETSU Quillen College of Medicine, Hagg says of his career path, "I will always be a neuroscientist."comments powered by Disqus

Pizza Madness 2009: Los Angeles — Pizzeria Mozza and Antica Pizzeria
From the Slice inbox: "Waiting for your review of Mozza and Antica. Please get to it soon. Thanks. —Pizzafreak" OK. Here you go, Pizzafreak. My blathering about "Pizza Madness 2009" continues ... —The Mgmt. [Photographs: Adam Kuban] Until I touched down at LAX on Thursday, October 29, most of my knowledge of Los Angeles came from CHiPs, The Rockford Files, the Terminator franchise, and The Closer.

Some cases leave a bigger mark on a law enforcement officer than others.
That was certainly true about the December shooting at Arapahoe High School for Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson.
"The (Claire) Davis family perspective on going out and caring for other people and trying to make a difference for others is certainly something that will motivate me personally and professionally in the years to come, and I hope that's the same for other people in our community," said Robinson, who is retiring Jan. 31 after serving as sheriff since 2003.
He also said the death of Andrew Graham, who was found shot near his Centennial home in 2009, was among the most difficult his office handled because of "the victimization of an innocent person." A grand jury said in 2012 that the case would remain unsolved until new evidence emerges.
"It's not appropriate for me to show emotion as the sheriff and as a public servant," Robinson said. "It's in my private time with those few that I trust that I show my emotions, but it's a very private matter."
As Robinson prepares to retire months before his third and final term officially ends, he's hesitant to talk on the record about how he has made a difference in his position, despite striving for transparency as the department's public information officer.
"I think that would be arrogant for me to say. That's for other people to say," Robinson said.
He was born in Pennsylvania in 1950, and he and his family moved to Littleton when he was a child. He graduated from Littleton High School in 1968 and went to college for a few years and then served in the Army stateside.
In 1972, he joined the police academy on the urging of a friend who thought he had the right focus on service to people. He served 20 years with the Littleton Police Department for 20cq years, leaving as division commander.
He came to the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office in 1992, where he served as captain and investigator for four years and then undersheriff until becoming sheriff in 2003. He also got his master's degree in public administration in 1993.
"I believe strongly in the term 'servant,' " Robinson said. "I would prefer we are thought of as not law enforcers but as peace officers and problem solvers."
He's proud of the fact the department has been accredited five times by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, for which he has served as a commissioner. Craig Hartley, CALEA's executive director, said how Robinson handled the recent shooting at Arapahoe High School displayed the same professionalism he displayed on the commission.
"Grayson, just the way he handled that, he doesn't hold back information and he provides it in a timely way, and that was consumable by the public and that people were reassured that things would be OK going forward," Hartley said.
Robinson is also proud of the rehabilitation and treatment programs he helped install in the jail system, as jails have become where many people with mental illness and substance abuse issues land.thanks to deinstitutionalization over the past few decades.
"If we can deal with mental health issues, we will have a marked effect on recidivism," Robinson said.
Jim Davis, executive director of Colorado Department of Public Safety who's known Robinson since 2008, said Robinson has a calm, steady leadership and that's had a ripple effect to other law enforcers and agencies in the state.
State public defender Doug Wilsoncq said he was impressed with the perspective and professionalism Robinson brought to his work on the Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justicecq, and his ability to have a more global view.
"It was really refreshing to have someone from the law enforcement side to check his positions at the door and think more globally," Wilson said.
Robinson more recently has been proud of the sheriff's office partnership with the with Centennial, which contracts with them, and has helped the city to be called one of the safest in Colorado.
Undersheriff Dave Walcher, who could take over as sheriff next month, said he's served under six sheriffs and Robinson is the best leader he's worked with, pointing to the recent AHS shooting.
"In times of adversity, that's where champions come out, and it was an incredible time of adversity in our community and he was a champion," Walcher said.
Robinson said he's going to take six weeks off to think about his next move, but said it will have purpose and be service-oriented. He knows it won't be as an elected official because he despises politics.
"These 43 years have been a great adventure and I've got another one in me, but I don't know what it will be yet," Robinson said. "But I can look in the mirror and be proud of that man looking back."

In our quest to improve and increase the value of spatial data stored within the Ushahidi platform, we're pleased to introduce map geometry. Until now, the platform has allowed you to define a single report with a single point. Map geometries allow you to define a report not just with a single point, but now with shapes and lines that you can draw.
This has obvious benefits:
- You can define an area
- You can define roads or other features not available on the base map
- You can define one report with multiple points and/or multiple geometries
This feature also allows you to do cool things like write plugins that import GPS data. One is already available – GPXer (apps.ushahidi.com)
To illustrate, I've imported a recent bike ride into using this plugin which calculates distances, start-times and end-times for you.
A few things to note:
- The report will also be saved with a single point location. The singular point is derived from the centroid of the multiple geometries. This is just to make it easy to cluster, map and find multiple reports. Also this helps with pulling reports via the API into mobile devices.
- This feature is only currently available in the Admin interface.
- The geometry feature is still work in progress. Your feedback will help us make it more robust.
You can download a build with this feature at: https://github.com/ushahidi/Ushahidi_Web

My wife and I have been to Kipsey's several times over the past few months. Although Kipsey's has a simple menu, I haven't found anything that they didn't do really well. The Caesar Salad was a pleasant surprise. Not the usual tossed pile or romaine lettuce, but rather a neat arrangement of lettuce, parmesan cheese and dressing. The hamhock greens were excellent as a side. The braised short rib and burger are my two favorites. The staff have always been really friendly. The restaurant has always been clean and the restroom facilities well kept. This has become my local go to restaurant when I want a nice place to relax and have a good meal.
Posted by KarenG on 08/27/2014
Went to this restaurant in our neighborhood for the first time tonight. It was excellent! Great choice on the menu,very favorably priced, and the food preparation was perfect. Staff was wonderful, too. Check it out.
Posted by Anonymous on 11/04/2013
I discovered kipseys during the summer and fell in love with the key lime martini. It is now my local where I know all the amazing staff by name and love the food so much I order delivery at least once a week. Great food! Great service! Great value! Schnitzel, potato gratin, calimari, fried pickles, deviled eggs, Mac n cheese, fries, ham hock greens- they are all great. Everything I've tried I have enjoyed.
Posted by KP on 09/06/2013
This place is clean and has excellent service. The deviled eggs are better than what I make at home. Yeah, I'm envious... The staff is always pleasant and attentive. Great place to go and catch up with friends. The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is really good, too. Highly recommended as a local place to go and hang.
Posted by Girllovestoeat on 08/05/2013
Been to kipsey's at least 5 times. Everything on the menu is simple and great. Deviled eggs, cornbread, rotisserie chicken and of course the brisket are all super delicous. The perfect neighborhood spot that was long needed
Posted by lovethechow on 07/12/2013
We have long needed a great, comfortable restaurant and hangout like this in this neighborhood. They serve some pretty inventive and delicious American comfort food with a bit of a middle-eastern influence. The Deviled egg appetizer is crazy good. I have also tried and like the house specialty rotisserie chicken, the slow-cooked brisket, fried chicken and meat loaf; All delicious! IMHO, they have one of the best burgers in Manhattan with a proprietary meat blend (I like it with the Gruyere cheese and carmelized onions) and amazing fries. I was there last night and they have also just added a a new, amazing cocktail menu that's defininitely mixologist inspired. They also have a very well-stocked bar with some interesting bourbons that I haven't seen elsewhere. The owners are very friendly and couldn't be nicer. Apparently they had a bit of a glitch with their air conditioning but thuis has been fixed. Yesterday was one of hottest, most humid days of the year and it was very cool and comfortable in there. This is my new neighborhood go-to but it's definitely also worth a trip!

State keeps custody of missing baby's siblings
Two brothers of a missing baby who is presumed dead will remain in state custody following a custody hearing.
The Florida Department of Children and Families took the boys into state care following the arrests of their parents earlier this month. Brittney Sierra and Calvin Melvin are in the Broward County Jail, charged with child neglect in the case of 5-month-old Dontrell Melvin who was last seen in 2011 when he was six months old.
DCF spokeswoman Paige Patterson-Hughes told The Miami Herald ( http://hrld.us/Vvj4XO) nothing has changed in terms of the boys' custody. Sierra's half siblings who lived in the same house were taken into state care.
Authorities have found bones believed to be those of Dontrell were found in the backyard of a home the couple had rented.

The Trip (1967) ***
Mildly disappointing LSD flick from the Corman factory written by Jack Nicholson. Peter Fonda is the TV ad director who decides to go on an acid trip, guided by his friend Bruce Dern. Cue a lot of psychedelic light effects, incessant cuts, gratuitous Dennis Hopper and a lot of paranoid freaking out. Frankly, unless you're on acid yourself, the film becomes rather redundant after a while; despite only being an hour and twenty minutes long, it feels interminable. The cast (which also includes Susan Strasberg in a thankless role as Fonda's ex-wife, who he keeps hallucinating about) do their best, but it's obvious (despite the cheesy, tacked-on message at the beginning of the film) that the movie was made for people who were stoned. It doesn't quite have the peculiar charm of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (which suffered from a similar fate, but was strangely entertaining and simultaneously headache-inducing) nor does it work too well as a coherent story. It's still not a bad movie; it's pretty well-made in spite of all this, and it certainly seems realistic (Fonda, Nicholson, Corman and Dern all did some 'research' before shooting) but that doesn't help it much.
Dirty Pretty Things (2003) ***1/2
Captivating (though flawed) study of a Nigerian exile named Okwe (Chiwetel Eijofor) who lives in London, dividing his time between jobs as a cabbie and hotel receptionist. He finds a human heart in a toilet and uncovers a organ-trafficking ring that's being led by none other than his greasy boss (Sergi Lopez). The thing is, he particularly targets immigrants, refugees and illegal aliens... including Senay (Audrey Tautou), the young Turkish woman with whom Okwe shares an apartment. Very compelling story is well-presented by director Stephen Frears and superbly-acted by the cast, but shy away from the film's core and problems soon arise. The supporting characters are rather one-dimensional (none more so that the traditional hooker with a heart of gold or the two maniacal Immigration cops, one of whom even has a mustache that just begs to be twirled) and when the film hits its first 'twist', it becomes relatively easy to see where the movie is going.
City of Joy (1992) ***
Passable mini-epic set in Calcutta stars Patrick Swayze as a selfish American doctor who has a young patient die on him and decides to go find himself in Calcutta. There he meets a farmer (Om Puri), new to the city, who eventually becomes a rickshaw driver. Meanwhile, Swayze builds a free clinic and a big fat evil guy makes the rickshaw man's life hell. The rickshaw story is ten times more interesting than anything Swayze ever does in the movie; if Swayze was anywhere near decent as a actor, this would be forgivable... but seeing as how he is one of the most boring actors I've seen, it makes the dullness of the storyline twice as infuriating. Puri is much, much better and his storyline is actually much more entertaining. This is the kind of epic-lite that makes for passable viewing in a class where anything else would be much, much more boring.
12 Angry Men (1957) *****
A deceptively simple concept: 12 jurors, one room and one decision to make. It's the kind of premise that makes for a good little potboiler... but the fanatical attention to detail present in Reginald Rose's script and the intensity of the performances (coupled with Lumet's airtight direction) raise this well above a simple B-movie whodunit. Henry Fonda is Juror #8, assigned (with eleven other men) to the murder case of a young man who is accused of killing his father. #8 is the only one who believes that the young man is not guilty, and he sets out to get everyone to change their mind. Completely airtight in its development, the film builds suspense with nothing but character development and dialogue. The top-notch cast (besides Fonda, the film also stars Lee J. Cobb, Ed Begley, Jack Warden, Martin Balsam, E.G. Marshall, Jack Klugman and a handful of other venerable character actors) makes this the best film of its type; many have tried to follow in its footsteps... but few have achieved what this has.
Lost in La Mancha (2003) ***1/2
Originally intended as a DVD extra, this documentary documents the short, troubled production of Terry Gilliam's "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote". The film follows an eager Gilliam through pre-production as he secures the cast (Johnny Depp, Jean Rochefort, Vanessa Paradis) and sets up his pet project, an overly ambitious fantasy he has been planning for ten years. As they draw closer to the first shooting day, however, problem after problem befalls the production: the soundstage is horrible, Rochefort gets sick, the weather is so awful that shooting cannot be continued. Lost in La Mancha is a fascinating film because there rarely are making-of movies for movies that never get made. It'S interesting to see how it works when it doesn't work... but the film remains a glorified DVD extra, glossing over certain aspects of the film and devoting too much time to footage of the filmmakers sitting around wondering what to do. Ironically, the minimal amounts of footage that were shot are tantalizing... but unlike DVD extras, you'll never see the movie.
I'm beginning the rather lengthy task of entering into the database every film I have seen, at least those I have a decent memory of. Some may have the briefest of reviews while many will just have a number. Those films that I consider personal favorites and/or those that have some historical signficance I will add later when I have time for more lengthy reviews.
Corrina, Corrina
Director: Jessie Nelson
Stars: Whoopi Goldberg, Ray Liotta, Joan Cusack, Don Ameche, Tina Majoriino.
Synopsis: Sentimental drama about loss and race relations. Story becomes too sappy.
City of Joy
Director: Roland Joffe
Stars: Patrick Swayze, Pauline Collins, Om Puri.
Synopsis: An American surgeon tries to find himself in the povery striken city of Calcutta, India. Should have been a much better film.
The Cutting Edge
Director: Paul Michael Glaser
Stars: D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly.
Synopsis: Spoiled Ice Princess and washed up hockey player team up in an attempt to make the Olympics. This romantic comedy is about as cliched and cheesy as it can get.
Class Action
Director: Michael Apted
Stars: Gene Hackman, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Laurence Fishburne, Colin Friels.
Synopsis: Watchable courtroom drama has a liberal lawyer (Hackman) who's firm has filed a lawsuit against a major auto manufacturer his conservative daughter represents.
There isn't so much joy as we could pretend just from reading the tittle of the movie. In fact the movie shows you the way you can survive even when there are not so many reasons to live for.
It was nice and interesting learning how people from India live.
Joffe's epic movie filmed on location in India is a really good glimpse at another culture. It is a beautifully filmed story about an American doctor who is fatigued with the medical system in USA and goes to India on "trek". There he has a series if incidents which finally involve him in a free medical clinic in Calcutta's poorest slum. I wanted to like this movie as it is beautifully told and filmed. However Swayze's Dialogue and responses to thing that happen are so crass barbarian as to be insulting to the intelligence. Not sure if it was the screenwriter or Swayze's influence which created all the horrible American slang and Americanisms in Swayze's dialogue. What would have otherwise been a four or five star movie is a two star movie due to this horrible dialogue. His speech and mannerisms are offensive to me as an Educated American. (A medical doctor talks and reacts like this?? NO) This film is emotional and compassionate and has a nice ending but somebody has to take the blame for the horrible string of words that come out of the role of the doctor played by
Swayze. from eberts review: " City of Joy seems a little too "written," too conformed to the rituals of Hollywood screenplays. There's so much interesting stuff in the movie we are prepared to forgive that, but still, thinking back on the film, it wouldn't have suffered if the entire plot involving Swayze and Collins had been dropped, and Joffe had simply told the story of the rickshaw man. He, and his dilemma, will be there in Calcutta long after visiting surgeons and dedicated nurses have been absorbed into the city's relentless flow." 2 stars
I read the translated version of this novel in bangla when I was 12. Ever since then I have been a fan of this novel. I enjoyed the movie and thought it missed few things mentioned in the novel.
Exceptional movie

The 20-year-olds are students at the Drew Transition Center in Detroit, a special education school for young adults with disabilities up to the age of 26. The students are learning to grow organic produce year-round for the school's meal program as part of the Detroit Public Schools' new Sustainability Management Plan.
All DPS sustainability projects aim to produce financial, academic and community health benefits, said Emile Lauzzana, energy manager for DPS.
"It's all synergy," he said. "And a lot of this is life skills."
The green projects district-wide are designed to reduce energy costs, improve health and student achievement and include a range of activities from energy conservation to waste management, transportation, nutrition and indoor and outdoor environmental improvements.
The Drew hoop house -- an outdoor structure with no electricity and which is warmed by the sun -- opened this fall. Its organic produce saves money for the school's meal program while giving students a marketable skill, said Michael Craig, the horticulture teacher at Drew.
"I plan to go to local farms and nurseries to help the kids get internships and jobs based on the skills they have gained."
And starting next week, 3 acres behind the school will be plowed and prepped to expand the garden for next year.
"The idea is for all produce consumed at Drew to be grown here," Craig said.
Drew carpentry students are also getting into the green projects -- they will build four to six garden beds for the district's 45 school gardens.
One day, Drew's green plan will include raising tilapia and canning homemade pasta sauce to sell in the school store, said Thaddeus Hill, the assistant principal. "We want to be the model urban-farming school program."

Pentaho and Hadoop
In-Hadoop execution, from data prep to predictive analytics
The Pentaho Business Analytics platform provides Hadoop users with visual development tools and big data analytics to easily prepare, model, visualize and explore data sets. From data preparation and configuration to predictive analytics, Pentaho covers the data lifecycle from end-to-end with a complete solution to your business intelligence needs.
Visual Development for Hadoop Data Prep and Modeling
Pentaho's visual development tools drastically reduce the time to design, develop and deploy Hadoop analytics solutions by as much as 15x, compared to traditional custom coding and ETL approaches.
- Powerful visual user interface for ingesting and manipulating data within Hadoop, and makes it easy to enrich Hadoop data with reference data from other sources.
- Option of accessing Hadoop data either directly, or through rapid visual extraction into data marts/warehouses optimized for fast response times.
- A visual tool for defining business metadata models helps developers prepare their data for analytics.
Interactive Visualization and Exploration
Pentaho enables your IT department to share interactive data visualizations and exploration capabilities, allowing business users to build dashboards and run reports on their own.
The Hadoop data integration and business analytics platform enables users to easily review data through:
- Rich visualization – Interactive, web-based interfaces for ad hoc reporting, charting and dashboards.
- Flexible exploration – View data through dimensions such as time, product and geography, and across measures like revenue and quantity.
- Predictive analytics – Use advanced statistical algorithms such as classification, regression, clustering and association rules to spot trends or challenges ahead of time.
Pentaho Visual MapReduce: Scalable in-Hadoop Execution
Pentaho's Java-based data integration engine works with the Hadoop cache for automatic deployment as a MapReduce task across every data node in a Hadoop cluster, making use of the massive parallel processing power of Hadoop.
Pentaho can natively connect to Hadoop in the following ways:
- HDFS – Input and output directly to the Hadoop Distributed File System.
- MapReduce – Input and output directly to MapReduce programs.
- HBase – Input and output directly to HBase, a NoSQL database optimized for use with Hadoop.
- Hive – A JDBC driver that enables interaction with Hadoop via the Hadoop Query Language (HQL), a SQL-like query and data description language (DDL).
Multi-Threaded Engine for Faster Execution
The Pentaho Data Integration engine is multi-threaded, with each step in a job executing on one or more threads. Multi-core processors running on each data node of the cluster are fully leveraged, eliminating the need for specialized, multi-threaded programming techniques.
In addition, the Pentaho Data Integration engine executes as a single MapReduce task, instead of the multiple tasks typical of machine-generated or hand-coded programs and Pig scripts. As a result, Pentaho MapReduce jobs typically execute many times faster than other methods.
The table below compares performing common Hadoop tasks using traditional MapReduce programming skills and Pentaho's visual interface:
Intuitive Data Orchestration Interface
Data orchestration is made easy via Pentaho's library of graphical job flow components, which include conditional checking, event waiting, execution and notification.
Together, these components can be combined to enable visual assembly of powerful job flow logic across multiple jobs and data sources.
Pentaho provides graphical drag-and-drop components for Hadoop ecosystem projects such as Sqoop and Oozie, drastically reducing the amount of time needed to use these powerful bulk-data load and workflow utilities:
- Sqoop – A tool designed for efficiently transferring bulk data between Hadoop and structured data stores, such as relational databases.
- Oozie – An open-source workflow/coordination service that manages data processing jobs for Hadoop.
Deep Support for Hadoop
Pentaho fully supports the leading Hadoop-based distributions and supports native capabilities, such as MapR's NFS high performance mountable file system. Several distributions of Hadoop are available as open source projects and from commercial providers.

2-25-06 – More than 200 students from across the state of Texas are in Denison this weekend to meet with local leaders. Middle and high school students came from all corners of the state for the 6th Annual Texas Youth Advisory Commission.
The summit focuses on teaching students how city government works. The goal is to encourage young people to consider careers in government.
The two day event boasts team-building workshops with other students. Visiting mayors and city council members were also there to help with leadership advice.
The Denison City Council formed its youth advisory commission three years ago and volunteered to host this year's program at B.McDaniel Middle School.
City leaders say the program is also good for the local economy. Hundreds of visitors are staying in local hotels and spending dollars in town.

Lamborghini shows us Santa drives an Aventador Roadster for Christmas [video]
Santa likes his milkshakes
In Lamborghini's vision, Santa is delivering gifts this year in the Aventador Roadster.
We are dealing with a very relaxed Santa that drinks several milkshakes and takes his time at the bar. Although the bartender (who looks a lot like a grumpy cat) keeps telling him to go deliver presents because he's running out of time, Santa stays in for a few more milkshakes. He eventually exits the bar and hops into his 700 reindeerpowered Lamborghini Aventador.
Mercedes-Benz will probably disagree with this clip as they say Santa is driving an SLS AMG Roadster this year, while Lexus mentions the traditional sleigh was replaced by a Flying Luxury Cruiser.

Santa just can't seem to figure out which car to drive. One minute he's driving an AMG Mercedes, the next minute a Lexus, and now a Lambo... Is that you Jay Leno?

Walt Disney World and Disneyland park music is available on official album CDs and via MP3 download, leaked original source recordings, and on-site live recordings. Park music has become incredibly popular as it is one way people can relive their vacations and instantly transport themselves back to their "happy places" in Walt Disney World or Disneyland.
A lot of effort goes into creating the music heard in Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Most people are familiar with the big-name attraction themes, like those from 'it's a small world' and Haunted Mansion. Many of these songs were penned by the Sherman Brothers, two of the most significant people in the history of Disney. Other music heard in the parks is far less famous, but resonates with us just as strongly. Off the top of your head, you may not have any idea what music plays in the 'background' of Tomorrowland or the Innoventions breezeways. However, I'll bet if you download and play those tracks, you would instantly recognize them. That's what I found when I first started "collecting" Disney theme park music, and I have so much now that despite having it play for several hours each day, I can go an entire week without playing the same track twice!
Fortunately for fans, unlike Disney parks book collecting, music collecting is a relatively inexpensive hobby. In fact, it can even be free! I keep all of my music in digital form, so unlike books, it also doesn't take up any physical space. This primer will get you started on the road to having an excellent collection of music from the Disney theme parks.
Note that this is a primer for those new to the sometimes intimidating world of Walt Disney World and Disneyland theme park music. If you're an experienced torrenter with every official album in your collection, this article probably won't do you much good.
Over the years, Disney has put out a lot of official albums, some of which covered the entirety of Walt Disney World or Disneyland, and some of which have been narrowly focused on specific lands, attractions, or events. In recent years, we haven't seen an update of the double-disc official park albums that used to be updated yearly, but we have seen some Disneyland-specific albums for both Cars Land and Carthay Circle…which are obviously much more narrowly focused than a resort-wide album. It'll be interesting to see Disney's strategy with these albums going forward. For now, here are some of my favorite albums. Most of these are out of print and are now only available through through the resale market.
The ones that are still available in the parks you can usually order through Walt Disney World Mail-Order (407-363-6200) or Disneyland DelivEARS ((800) 362-4533) for the in-park price plus shipping. I reflect what the in-park price is below. Feel free to correct prices/availability in the comments.
Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World Official 2006 Album: Where Magic Lives – This 2-disc album consists of tracks from various attractions around Walt Disney World, and it gets a lot of play in our household. From about 1997 until 2007, this album was re-released each year, with minor changes. "Four Parks, One World" is the 2007 CD, which is still available in the parks. While this CD is still mostly current, it's definitely due for an update. This 2006 CD is only around $15 on Amazon, and is definitely a must-own.
Disney Epcot Soundtrack – Tapestry of Dreams CD – This is a great CD, primarily for the Tapestry of Dreams soundtrack and the songs used during Epcot's Millennium Celebration. Reflections of Earth is also present, but it's an abridged version. To my knowledge, this still sells at Walt Disney World (despite Tapestry of Dreams no longer running). I believe the price is $15-20, but I'm not sure. Regardless, it's cheaper on Amazon.
Disney's Animal Kingdom CD – This soothing 1998 release reminds me of the "sounds of nature" type music people use to go to sleep. I can recognize some of it from the park, but not all of it (but we're not big Disney's Animal Kingdom fans). To my knowledge, this CD is not sold in the park anymore.
Disneyland/Walt Disney World Fantasmic! CD – This CD contains both the Walt Disney World and Disneyland versions of the show, and is a fairly pricey CD via the secondary market. If you're only a Walt Disney World fan, this is the version to get (since the versions do differ a decent amount), but everyone else should get the much cheaper Disneyland edition, which also includes the Main Street Electrical Parade. This may still be available in the park (someone can share whether it is in the comments and I'll update this).
Walt Disney World Holiday Wishes CD – Music from the Holiday Wishes! fireworks (I LOVE the music to this show) and the surprisingly catchy Mickey's Jingle Jungle Parade at Disney's Animal Kingdom. I think this CD is still available at Walt Disney World (if so, it likely sells for $15-20).
Disney SpectroMagic Music CD – The soundtrack from the now seemingly "extinct" SpectroMagic parade. Unfortunately, the entire CD is just the one 14-minute long track of the parade, which is too bad since instrumental versions of the songs do exist. Still, one of my most played tracks in iTunes!
Wishes – A Magical Gathering Of Disney Dreams – This has the entire soundtrack from the Wishes! fireworks, with each section broken up into tracks. The CD is on the short CD, but it's great for Wishes! fans.
Disney Magic Kingdom Event Party Music CD – One of my favorite Walt Disney World CDs, this is sadly not available on Amazon right now. It features music from the short-lived Pirate & Princess Parties, Dream Along with Mickey, and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. This is another one that I think is still available at Walt Disney World for around $15-20.
Candlelight Processional – One of my less-favorite CDs, this just feels like regular choir Christmas music to me. I guess I don't have much of an attachment to Candlelight Processional. I list it because it's really cheap on the secondary market at $10 for a digital download or a few bucks for the CD. It's still sold at Walt Disney World for approximately $15-20.
Disneyland Resort Official Album – Happiest Homecoming on Earth – This 2005 album for Disneyland's 50th anniversary has some great tracks on it, my favorite of which is the "Remember… Dreams Come True!" soundtrack. Unfortunately, this album now fetches slightly higher prices on the secondary market (~$25-35), but it's well worth the price.
The Official Album: Disneyland/Walt Disney World – This predates the Walt Disney World Official Albums and despite having tracks from both coasts, it's Disneyland-heavy, with the highlight here being music from the shortlived "Light Magic" parade. It also has Illuminations, Fantasmic (only the closing), Fantasy in the Sky, and the Main Street Electrical Parade (among other things), so it's a good way to get a sampling of the top parks music from both coasts.
Disneyland Fantasmic! Good Clashes with Evil in a Nighttime Spectacular – Fantasmic plus the Main Street Electrical Parade makes this a winner that all Disneyland fans should own.
Disney's California Adventure 2001 Album – This CD filled with many "extinct" Disney's California Adventure tracks is a fun, out of print CD that for some reason Amazon indicates is becoming available for download on March 12, 2013. You can buy the physical CD right now for around $20, or wait for the $8 MP3 release.
Musical History of Disneyland (W/Book) – This originally sold for $99 at Disneyland, and was produced in a limited edition run of 5,000. It now sells for nearly double that price on the secondary market. This 6-CD set is for serious Disneyland fans, as many of the tracks are of a historical nature or are simply tracks in which casual listeners won't have a ton of interest. The set also includes an interesting book on Disneyland music. If you're a serious Disneyland fan, this is a must-own. If not, instead pick up the 2-disc set.
Walt Disney Takes You to Disneyland: A Musical Tour of the Magical Kingdom – A tour only in the sense that Walt Disney himself introduces each land in the park (which is then followed by 1950s-era music from those lands), this is a CD re-release of a 1956 record. A historical album that is great for fans of Walt Disney or Disneyland's history.
The Circle Sessions (The Music of Carthay Circle) – This 2012 release captures the jazzy feel of Carthay Circle Restaurant beautifully, but is a bit of a letdown in that it doesn't have all of the music found in the restaurant. Still, well worth the $8 digital album download price on Amazon. This album is available at Disneyland Resort for $14.98.
The Music Of Cars Land CD – This is a great CD of music from Cars Land, especially the Junkyard Jamboree and Radiator Springs Racers ride-through tracks. I do wish it had the awesome background loop that played in Cars Land, but it's still a solid album. It's way overpriced on the secondary market, as you can purchase it for $14.98 at Disneyland Resort.
Story & Song From the Haunted Mansion – This isn't one I'd personally recommend, but Haunted Mansion fans might enjoy the campy story and history of this 1969 album (reprinted as a CD), narrated by Thurl Ravenscroft. Not bad for only $8.
Walt Disney and the 1964 World's Fair – Not really a Disneyland CD, but this 5-disc set that includes some script readings is great for buffs of Walt Disney history. Lots of Carousel of Progress, Mr. Lincoln, and 'it's a small world' on this set.
Unofficial is a bit of a misnomer, as these tracks are actually what is actually played in the parks; they're just available through unofficial channels. Two sites that are the go-to resources for content that isn't available via official releases are Mousebits.com and MagicMusic.net. The latter is a great place to chat about playlists and to see listings of tracks that make up certain background music (BGM) loops, which is a great resource to use for purchasing tracks from iTunes. The former is a torrent site (instructions on torrenting via Mousebits) where you can download commercially unavailable Disney Parks music. Be aware that Mousebits operates, legally speaking, in a manner best summarized by its site owner here. I regularly use Mousebits and feel ethically and legally comfortable doing so (although some commercially available stuff does slip through the cracks), but you may not feel the same way.
Both sites have a lot of knowledgeable and helpful members who are well-versed in parks music. However, despite how superficially simple parks music may seem, it can be quite complicated. If you do register over at either site, please spend some time learning the lay of the land before asking questions.
Here are some of my favorite loops containing commercially available music that are listed on MagicMusic.net:
Wilderness Lodge Christmas Loop – Who hasn't fallen asleep by the fireplaces in Wilderness Lodge relaxing to this music? Uh…I haven't either.
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party Loop – This is my all-time FAVORITE Christmas loop at Walt Disney World, and is by far my most played loop at Christmas (I used Audacity to combine all of the songs into a loop). I highly recommend buying the songs/albums used to create this loop!
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Loops – I still have yet to assemble these loops (too much work!), but I hope to make a recording of a couple of them someday. Besides the MNSSHP Adventureland loop, I love hard ticket BGM loops!
Tomorrowland – One of my favorite loops is the current Tomorrowland (1994-present) BGM, which reminds me of nights spent riding the TTA while gazing at the neon marquees. There's also the pre-1994 loop, which a lot of people actually prefer over the current loop.
Illuminations Pre-show Music – The music leading up to Illuminations sets a great mood for the show, and this music most reminds me of sitting in Japan with my tripod set up, waiting for the show to start. Good times.
Tower of Terror BGM Loop – As mentioned in the blog post listing the tracks, recreating your own Tower of Terror loop doesn't do the actual BGM justice due to processing used on the tracks. This BGM is absolutely classic and (to my knowledge) isn't available on Mousebits, so you'll have to find it elsewhere.
Disney's Polynesian Resort – A mellow and relaxing island playlist, which is very fitting of Disney's Polynesian Resort.
Soarin' Over California Queue – Who doesn't love the Soarin' queue music? The score here is incredible, and there aren't too many tracks, so it's pretty easy to put together.
MuppetVision 3D Christmas Loop – I love the BGM around MuppetVision, especially at Christmas when it's pulled from a few classic Muppets' Christmas albums. The good news here is that you probably already own these albums, and if you don't…you should!
Lights of Winter Loop – If you miss the Lights of Winter as much as me, it may not be the best of ideas to assemble this loop. I still enjoy listening to it, and hope one day the lights will dance to it again at Epcot.
Here are some of my favorite torrents on Mousebits:
Walt Disney World
Walt Disney World Forever Project – I'm listing this first because it's probably the best place to start if you want to build a collection. Personally, it's not my favorite torrent because it breaks loops down track-by-track, and I prefer listening to them as single (longer) tracks. Also, it's in loseless "flac" format, so you'll need to know how to deal with those files.
Disney's Magical Express Loop – I'm not entirely sure this is the audio still used on DME, but it's a great mix of instrumental favorites. I listen to Disney music (quietly) at my office, so scores and instrumental renditions are perfect for me.
Magic Kingdom Entrance Loop – This is a great loop that always reminds me of late nights photographing the Main Street Train Station. It's also played at the TTC, so if you spend a lot of time there for some reason, you'll recognize it from there, too!
Frontierland BGM Loop – This is a nice, relaxing loop featuring the twangy sounds of Frontierland. Reminds me of wandering along the pathway by the Rivers of America late at night.
TTiiMM's Illuminations: Reflections of Earth Mix – This is the full show of Illuminations, with sound from the fireworks. I've heard the Illuminations score without fireworks, and I really prefer it this way, as it puts me in the moment more. This is one of my top 5 most-played tracks in iTunes! If you want the full effect of a night in Epcot, check out "An Evening in Epcot," which also includes the Illuminations pre-show and post-show music. I'm really digging this 68 minute track, lately!
Innoventions BGM – Epcot has some of the best BGM loops, and my current favorite of these is the Innoventions loop. It has a distinct sound, and I find it really relaxing.
Epcot Main Entrance BGMs – There are a lot of files in this torrent. If, like me, you want the entire loop as a single file, the tracks to download here are Kirky's 2006 noise reduced recording (current BGM) and 1982 Complete Loop Version 1 – HQ. There's also a 2001 loop you may want. These are easy to spot, as they're the three longest tracks in torrent. If you want individual tracks only, download everything but the three tracks I listed. These scores are beautiful.
World Showcase Loops – Serious collectors would probably cringe at this, since there's a lot of low quality and incomplete stuff here, but for casual listeners like me, this collection of World Showcase loops is great. If only I could snack on some School Bread while listening at the office!
Martin's EPCOT 25th Anniversary Megamix – Martin, best known for his excellent tribute videos (which are all available for download on Mousebits or streaming on his website), put together a fun mix of audio covering the first 25 years of EPCOT Center. A lot of effort was put into this, and it shows.
Fantasmic Area Music – My favorite Disney's Hollywood Studios tracks are no longer available on Mousebits, but this is a good one. I'm pretty sure it's not completely current, but it will still be pretty recognizable to Fantasmic fans. First track is the only one you need to download if you want the complete loop.
Expedition Everest Queue BGM – I don't have nearly the emotional attachment to Animal Kingdom music as I do the other parks, but this is my favorite Animal Kingdom track (other than the park entrance BGM).
Disneyland Forever Project – Since there isn't as much Disneyland music out there in unofficial channels (at least on Mousebits), this collection is essential. Selective downloading is key here, as there's a lot in this 4+ GB collection that you probably won't want. There are a lot of gems, though, so make sure you grab those!
Disneyland Esplanade BGM Loop – My favorite loop from Disneyland, this is a lot like the Magic Kingdom entrance area loop in idea, but far better due to its tracks. Features instrumental versions of some great land and attraction music.
World of Color Surround Sound Mix – I love the music from World of Color, and this surround sound mix is incredible. Add a pair of cheap "dancing water" speakers, and it's like you're right there at the show! (Okay, not quite, but still…)
Rivers of America BGM Loop – This is what plays near the water in New Orleans Square, but not actually within New Orleans Square. Obviously two very different sounds.
Paradise Pier Boardwalk BGM Loop – I'm not sure if all of this music is still used–I heard a rumor that it was being replaced and I don't always pay attention to the Paradise Pier loops–but it's an excellent loop.
Overall, Disney theme park music is quite the rabbit hole. Once you get hooked on it, you will find yourself with much less hard drive space and will thirst after rare albums and tracks. Fair warning, as that's definitely where you'll head once you graduate from this beginner's guide and start gaining more knowledge of what's out there. Before you start purchasing and/or downloading, if you're worried about spending a lot of time or money obsessing over this new hobby, now is the time to turn back! Streaming online radio stations like MouseWorldRadio are a great alternative to downloading your own music, so you might want to consider that before going all in!

Awesome compilation! Thanks, Tom!
Help! What does BGM stand for?
Background Music – what you hear in the background while walking around the parks, resort hotels, etc.
Look at all those links… *drools* Thanks, Tom!
I am a total Reedy Creek Radio junkie. I listen to it (almost literally) constantly. I have this weird thing with the Pixar Play Parade… I swear that it is the same background singers that they used in High School Musical 3, which is a pathetic thing for a 26 year old woman to even be able to reasonably suspect, but they sound exactly alike. Both PPP and HSM3 get me all jazzed and hyper. I think the singers are some weird siren people that Disney created to force you to be unnaturally peppy. I really should just delete all that because it's insane, but I'm not going to. I also think that the melody from the Sinbad ride sounds very Soarin'-esque but the few people I know who even know what I'm talking about don't agree. What does it all mean?! (This is what 24/7 RCR does to a person)
My favorite BGM is definitely Splash Mountain Area. Mouth harp FTW. My least favorite is probably the Mark Twain audio. I love Thurl but MAN do I want to kill someone after hearing him go "Maaaark Twaaaaain" about fifty trillion times.
LOVE this article. I'm going to be a busy girl. Thanks again!!
Nice summary, but no mention of the "Four Parks – One World" WDW CD? I think that is a particularly good one.
I also still have a (tape!) recording of the 1983 Epcot Center Official Album. There's some really good music on there, including the original unbastardized version of Golden Dream.
My favorite track from any CD is probably a full-length version of Illuminations, complete with the 30-minutes of pre-show (I believe an earlier version of the preshow than they do now).
Since returning from Disney in January, I have been reading this blog & the Disney photography blog. I think it is funny how we become "addicted" to Disney, whether it is the music, books, or for me the movies. I have been buying & watching Disney movies with my 4 year old & love this new addiction!
In my opinion this post solidifies your place as a true "disneyphile." I often wonder if I will tire of disney parks (we only go once a year) but to know that someone who goes multiple times a year still enjoys listening to and collecting disney park soundtracks- well that gives me the impression that Disney really is that incredible of a place.
My wife always teases me when I start singing "all your wishes!" around the house… but I think she secretly loves it.
I don't own any disney parks music but I often play Aaron Copland to reminisce about our stay at wilderness lodge. We have a CD that was played at our wedding called "fairytale weddings" or something like that that features instrumental guitar and string covers of disney classics that is probably my favorite disney related album.
I wonder if there is a boardwalk inn album around? That'd be cool.
Tom, what a wonderful resource on Disney music. I've always felt that the Disney BGM is one of the most underrated jewels of the Parks. Most people pay little attention to it, yet it completes the experience.
Thanks for all the time you spent working up the list for us!
What a great reference. I've always wanted some of the official music, and never knew where to buy it(other than the parks) or what options were better. Thanks for this tom.
And as a quick correction to Kevin's comment above, the site he mentioned is d-cot.com, for those who had a hard time finding it.
Thanks for the correction, Keith.
Hey….if you're interested, I found a good resource for the background music from ToT:
Even sounds like it's the 'processed' (tinny and reverb'ed out) files straight from the attraction. Fun to listen to!
Thanks for posting all this…I had found some Haunted Mansion recordings a few years back, and this has spiked my interest again. Fun times.
Here's a website that I found, might be of interest to someone…
Perfect timing – I now have a "productive" activity for my snow day. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for all this information! Lovely to have so much of the music stuff in one place. As a PP has mentioned, there are a ton of great Epcot songs that used to be available on the '83 Official Epcot album. These songs were also on the DL/WDW Official Album (we must have had a different version than the one you list; it was a tape and it had Magic Journeys, Making Memories, Energy, Universe of Energy, Tomorrow's Child, Listen to the Land, One Little Spark, Canada, Golden Dreams, New Horizons, Space, It's Fun to Be Free, and a Kitchen Kabaret medley).
You can stream original theme park LPs (including the 83 Epcot album and the old Musical Souvenir of the Magic Kingdom) at Walt's Music (waltsmusic.com); E82 (epcotlegacy.com) has been putting together musical compilations of the old Future World pavilions; and there was a torrent on Mousebits also called a Musical Souvenir of the Magic Kingdom that attempted to capture the ambiance of an early trip to the MK that I thought was really remarkable.
The DL Forever torrent in particular has a lot of great documentation about the tracks (both it and the WDW Forever torrent feature tracks that park visitors could compile into their own soundtrack CD in the early 2000s). Both the Musical Souvenir torrent and E82 also have some good commentary on the music.
I do make a point of buying the official albums (when there's a new one) and especially the ones I can get over iTunes/Amazon–I wish Disney would release more of its theme park music commercially (especially BGM/ride soundtracks that aren't available on other albums) and more of it in digital format (so I don't have to wait for a park trip to buy it!).
Thanks again for this lovely resource!
I didn't realize how many website are out there dedicated to Disney Park music. I've always really liked Utilidors Audio Broadcasting. I like being able to search for tracks and make requests. Looking forward checking out all of these other sites now.
Tom – Thanks so much for this article!! You gave me a lot more stuff to look into to so I can collect more Disney Parks music. I started about a year ago gathering music, so I'm fairy new at it.
What are you thoughts about downloading youtube to mp3? That's how I've downloaded a lot of music.
Holy crow! Thank you!! I've been trying to track down the Polynesian's area music tracks for a while, and let's just say that my wallet is about to be much lighter!
Oh, dear! Good sir, you have opened the door to a rabbit hole that I shall not soon emerge from. Dear, oh, dear!
Hi Tom! This is a great blog post! I have read it a few times since I have a very large Disney music collection (over 50GBs of it) and I have been using Mousebits for a while and have found some great music on there. There is one track that I have been searching for for years that I can't find anywhere and I figured I would see if you happen to know of anywhere to find it. I used to listen to disradio all day at work (now I just loop my collection on random) and they used to play the Phantom Manor with Vincent Price and I loved listening to it. I have never been able to hunt down that track anywhere. Do you happen to have it know where to get it (download, CD, anything)? Thanks! I love your blog and your photography is amazing! Your pictures brighten my day when i see them
Great post like all your others. But now I am up a creek. Despite having a bunch of the Disneyland tunes you listed, you just showed me that there are more I now have to have. I am gonna need a bigger iphone.
One thing to mention is you might want to check with your local library as to what they have. I was shocked to see the Disney Happiest Celebration cd one day in the kids section.
Thanks as always.
Two Things.
One. MouseBits requires an account and torrents require seeding which may not always be active.
Two. Will you make a downloads page for source audio? I would LOVE the Hooray For Disney Stars 1989 Parade which I had on a torrent from Mouse Bits but lost it.
Now I'll never find it again and I looked hard!
YouTube has a video but the audio is very crappy sounding like it's from an 8 track.
This is probably the most comprehensive list I've ever seen. Thank you so much for posting! I, too, love me some Mouse World Radio. Between that and my own collection that I've assembled over the years, I've got probably 2 days worth of random Disney park music.
Thank you so much for this fantastic post! I'm happy to send it to my friends who ask where my music comes from!
Hi Tom,
The track that was the most unforgettable to me was the instrumental version of "A Whole New World" played during the fireworks. Very 'finale' and grand sounding. Which track and album can I find it in?
Thank you for the information. I have always loved the music but haven't taken much time to look in to it. I'm a Disneyland gal and I remember in the 90's (I think) they used to have a station in Tomorrowland that would let you create your own CD of theme park music. I meant to do that and forgot. Of couse the next time I was able to get my folks to take us on our favorite vacation, that station was gone. Serious regrets since then.
I also did not know that MouseWorldRadio exisisted. I just turned it on and now the Main Street loop is giving me chills! thanks!
I grabbed the CD of the Pirates ride (including outtakes) from the exit shop — despite what seemed a crazy price. Judging by how often I listen to it, and how much it now goes for on Amazon, I did good.
Thanks for the links — I will be spending time this afternoon collecting more soundtrack music!
Tom, this is amazing! I have no idea how to download from a torrent. Any suggestions? Also, I use a youtube-to-mp3 converter that allows me to save the music files from youtubes of area loops, & that's been really useful.
I would sure love to know where I can purchase "Remember The Magic". It was the 25th Anniversary Theme song.
Thanks for the great links to the park music! I noticed your remarks about Walt Disney World Forever and that each file is a single song (not combined for a single loop). I'm currently using FREAC to convert the FLAC files to mp3, and you can use the program to combine several files into one mp3 that will load into iTunes! I'm not sure if you've used that program already, or if you've found another solution to combine the files, but this seems to be working very well.
Again, thanks for your links! You have a great site!
Hi there! Is there any cd out there that has Peter Pan's Flight on it? I've been searching unsuccessfully. I've found YouTube videos that feature the music from the ride but am frustrated that I can't find a cd with that music. My husband bought me a Parks music cd back in 2012 thinking it had that song but didn't. That is one of my favorite rides. Thank you for any help!
Sincerely, Kimberly Tyrell
We still listen to our old WDW cd's…I'm talking from the 90's. I have so many memories associated with every song!!! Once my husband discovered LIve 365, nothing else really gets played. My students even request it during study time or classwork. What else can can get you through a WDW vacation countdown?!?!?!
Been listening to Tom Ameen recently. Wonderful piano arrangements of Disney music.
Your blog is great and the photographs are awesome! I have been trying to figure out the name of the music that goes "it's the time of your life… ". Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) you can't hear me singing it. Do you know what that is from and where to get it? I can't remember if it is from a parade, show, commercial, etc….
Was it something like It's the time of your life, so live it well. If so is from A bugs life. On Pandora, it comes up a lot, I just type Disney as a channel.
Is it this one? This is "Celebrate You (It's the Time of Your Life)" from the Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade.
Here is the link to the commercial which aired during the same time (during "What Will You Celebrate".)
I always liked this one!
That's it! Thanks!
I may have overlooked it, but I always love Animal Kingdom Lodge's Christmas music loop. It makes me feel like I'm staying there at Christmas all over again.
This will definitely take my obsession to a whole new level! I sure would love the 'Soarin soundtrack and "It's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow!" Right now I just listen to those when I'm on hold on the DTA line! Lol!!
This is similar to your 2005 album mention but it's just the .mp3 files and is not as expensive as the 2-disc set. We downloaded this while we were still in Anaheim, in our hotel room, for the kids to listen to while getting ready for bed each night (maybe not the Tower of Terror track … little creepy for bedtime). We LOVE this album and I also like to give a copy of it to friends who are driving down to Disneyland (from where we live in the Pacific Northwest).
We use this plus an older version of it that I purchased in 1998 (that has the old Space Mountain music on it, which I think is MUCH better than the current music) plus a few single tracks that we found to make a compilation CD that my kids LOVE to listen to year-round. I just wish it were easier to get music from World of Color! Those are the only songs I feel we're missing to our Disneyland music collection so far.
Thanks for posting this! Music really brings you back to the park when you're back home … and smiles to our faces!
for Cars Land." I do wish it had the awesome background loop that played in Cars Land"
I could have lounged all day in Cars land listening to the music. I heard some classics including 'one piece at a time' by Johnny Cash. That's when I knew the music was great.
If you have Songza go to the playlist 'classic rockabilly rave up' and it'll bring you back to cars land. Very similar tunes.

An Epidemic of Rumors
Jon D. Lee
6 x 9, 220 pages
published: 2013
paper $26.95s (Only Days Away)
e-book $21.00
Jon D. Lee is a lecturer in the English Department at Suffolk University.
An Epidemic of Rumors
How Stories Shape Our Perceptions of Disease
A valuable contribution to the study of folklore and folklife, particularly in the areas of folklore and health/medicine.
—Bonnie B. O'Connor, Alpert Medical School, Brown University
In An Epidemic of Rumors, Jon D. Lee examines the human response to epidemics through the lens of the 2003 SARS epidemic. Societies usually respond to the eruption of disease by constructing stories, jokes, conspiracy theories, legends, and rumors, but these narratives are often more damaging than the diseases they reference. The information disseminated through them is often inaccurate, incorporating xenophobic explanations of the disease's origins and questionable medical information about potential cures and treatment.
Folklore studies brings important and useful perspectives to understanding cultural responses to the outbreak of disease. Through this etiological study Lee shows the similarities between the narratives of the SARS outbreak and the narratives of other contemporary disease outbreaks like AIDS and the H1N1 virus. His analysis suggests that these disease narratives do not spring up with new outbreaks or diseases but are in continuous circulation and are recycled opportunistically. Lee also explores whether this predictability of vernacular disease narratives presents the opportunity to create counter-narratives released systematically from the government or medical science to stymie the negative effects of the fearful rumors that so often inflame humanity.
With potential for practical application to public health and health policy, An Epidemic of Rumors will be of interest to students and scholars of health, medicine, and folklore.

In this edition...
Skagway Traditional Council community meeting:
The Skagway Traditional Council (STC) held a community services meeting for tribal members on Saturday, Aug. 7. SEARHC provided an update on health services in the community and region. We discussed the local contract provider options and plans for itinerant SEARHC providers in the community. Staff at the meeting included Libby Watanabe, Frank Sutton, Dr. David Vastola, Dr. Tom Bornstein, Melody Price-Yonts, and I. We shared a new community resources information brochure on services specific to Skagway, elder health services, our annual report, and recent newsletters. Our medical, behavioral health and dental staff were on hand to answer individual questions and to assist our patients. We appreciate the opportunity to join STC members during their annual services meeting.
