Jess Franco's HOW TO SEDUCE A VIRGIN (1974) from Mondo Macabro 10/8
It's been over a year, but worldweird favorites Mondo Macabro are finally back in action with Jess Franco's HOW TO SEDUCE A VIRGIN (PLAISIR A TROIS, 1974)! The Countess de Bressac returns home from a forced nuthouse stint, the court-appointed result of castrating her former plaything. Greeted by her hunchbacked gardener, mute maid and enabling husband, she immediately retreats to her dungeon, surrounded by human statues formed from past conquests. Her spouse proposes a new game, involving the seduction of the wealthy heiress next door, but when things don't go as expected... Another of Franco's examinations of the perversion of innocence, PLAISIR A TROIS is considered by many to be one of the director's more twisted efforts. Previously only available on French VHS, Mondo Macabro revive the film from its original negative, including interviews with Alain Petit and Stephen Thrower to further sweeten the deal. Welcome back, guys!

Snoop Dogg will spend his 160 hours of community service cleaning up an Orange County park, after pleading guilty last month to a felony weapons charge.
Snoop's chores will include "raking leaves, washing cars, cleaning toilets (and) picking up litter," according to The Orange County Register. The name of the park was not released, in an attempt to keep fans at bay. It is also unclear when he will begin.
Andre Manssourian, a deputy district attorney in Orange County, said he expects Snoop will do a fine job. "My understanding is that he chose this [work]," he said. "I look forward to his hours of community service [to] help maintain Orange County and keep it beautiful."
Snoop's attorney, Donald Etra, says his client wants to pay his debt and get on with things. "He will do whatever it takes," Etra said. "He will be making the park a better place for Orange County."
Etra added that Snoop (real name: Calvin Broadus) does not see the work as menial. "Snoop has never pretended to be other than a man of the people," he said.
The 35-year-old rap star was arrested in September 2006 while trying to board a plane with a 20-inch collapsible baton in a computer bag. Last month he pleaded guilty to felony possession of a deadly weapon.

Funding Priorities
The findings from the 2011 Komen Lowcountry Community Profile revealed that our most vulnerable communities are African-American, Hispanic and rural. It was evident that high mortality rates and low screening rates are created by numerous barriers to care within our service area, including a lack of medical facilities, cultural beliefs and education. At the time, seven Affiliate counties had more than 20 percent of the population living below poverty level, with Allendale the highest. We also found that the medical community needs education about current screening recommendations and available resources for their patients.
Drawing from the 2011 Community Profile, the following funding priority areas were identified for FY 2013-2014:
- Reduce the barriers to screening and treatment especially for rural populations, African Americans, and Hispanics.
- Increase education about breast health, breast cancer screening, and available resources. This includes education of the general population as well as medical providers. Healthy lifestyle initiatives may be included in breast health education programs.
- Improve support services for survivors, including specific survivor populations such as men, young women, and patients with metastatic disease.
The Community Profile is compiled every four years and a new community needs assessment is currently underway. A review of the quantitative data for the 2015 Community Profile shows that the greatest disparities in breast health continue to occur in the Affiliate's African American, Hispanic and rural populations. Based on the review of the 2015 Community Profile Quantitative Data, the following counties have been identified as highest priority: Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell, Calhoun, Colleton, Hampton, Marion, and Orangeburg.

It takes practice and time to quit smoking, but it can be done, and the benefits of stopping smoking are worth the effort. There are many ways to quit smoking, such as the "cold turkey" method or a system to gradually taper off smoking. Each person is unique, and different strategies work better for different people.
Smoking cessation medications include nicotine chewing pieces (gum), the nicotine patch, nicotine inhaler, oral sprays, nicotine lozenges, bupropion, and varenicline. Research shows that when used as directed and combined with support groups or counseling, these medications can increase your chance of success. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist about which medications may be appropriate for you.
Group programs usually involve meeting small groups of people who are all trying to quit smoking. Group support programs have proven one of the most successful methods for quitting smoking. Qualified health professionals lead some group programs, and these tend to be more effective. Contact your local public health department to locate any smoking cessation groups active in your community.
Individual counseling programs range from brief advice and counseling offered by a health care professional to intensive counseling available through specialty clinics. These clinics are not available everywhere, but are especially helpful for certain smokers. Talk to your doctor about whether individual counseling is an appropriate option for you.
The process of quitting smoking may be hard, but it can be done!

Posted at: 07/03/2013 7:18 PM
By: Maria Guerrero, KOB Eyewitness News 4
You can buy the fireworks, but you're banned from shooting them off.
The city of Moriarty is defending its decision not to enact an ordinance banning more fireworks.
The mayor says the community has to balance between fire safety and business.
While the city of Moriarty restricts the use of some fireworks within the city, it does not ban the sale of fireworks that are banned in Moriarty or other drought-stricken New Mexico communities like Albuquerque.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 asked Moriarty Mayor Ted Hart, why?
"These stands employ 40 to 50 people each," he said. "They produce income for the community and the state."
Current ordinance bans missile-type rockets, helicopters, aerial spinners, stick-type rockets and ground type audible devices within the city limits.
The city estimates its fireworks vendors, including two year-round sellers, each bring in up to $400,000 in gross revenue. The city gets 2 1/2 % of that.
Hart also estimates 60% of the fireworks sold at permanent fireworks stands don't stay in New Mexico; qualifying as a tourism sale.
Fireworks stores and tents get a lot of interstate traffic.
Fire Chief Steven Spann says permanent fireworks businesses should be checking IDs to ensure the people buying fireworks are out-of-state residents.
Spann says the entire department will be on hand on Thursday in case of a fire.
"They should be checking it but for us to verify that, they could tell us numbers but it would be impossible to verify," said Spann.
Asked what he thinks of people asking why Moriarty isn't like almost every other community in New Mexico putting the fire danger, ahead of business, Hart responded:
"They're a business just like any other type of business. You can't smoke in certain stores. I think it's banned throughout the state but yet you can go into any store and purchase them. You can smoke in your car, you can flick the cigarette out your window and starts fires so I mean it's a balance that we all have to come and live with."
The mayor says he doesn't see the city revisiting an ordinance.
Hart says change should really come from the state.
Both Hart and Spann support Governor Susana Martinez's failed effort to impose a statewide ban on fireworks during extreme drought.
For now, Hart hopes people buying at stores in Moriarty only buy whatever is legal in their community.

Negotiations for the Japan international have proved to be tricky, with Milan claiming that CSKA's demands will force them to wait until the end of Honda's contract in January 2014.
According to Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani, though, Honda is also pushing for the move to go through.
"The only gift for the fans can be Honda," said Galliani of the 27-year-old.
"The player wants AC Milan and we'll try to take him until the last day good for the Champions League lists.
"We made an offer, if CSKA should drop their demands, Honda will come to Milan. Otherwise we'll wait for January."

We figured there would be some reaction to our use of the term "douchebag." Just to be clear, we did not choose the term lightly. When we had our blog meeting last week, many terms were bandied about for our new weekly awards, including "schmuck", "putz," and a few others.
We decided on douchebag, and here's the logic behind why we consider it both appropriate and non-misogynist:
Douchebags are a repository of unnecessary harm done to women. They are symbols of the outdated thinking that vaginas are dirty and need cleansing, and further they are symbols of the idiotic, self-hating mindset that is sold to women.
They are disgusting not because they are associated with vaginas, but because they are associated with outdated, stupid, ignorant, harmful things that are done to vaginas and women in general, and therefore douchebags are actually the perfect emblems to attach to someone like La Bachmann and her ilk.
As far as the terms that translate to "penis"—a penis is not inherently harmful to women. Furthermore, using that term would be attaching a value judgment to genitalia, and following the logic above, that is not what we want to do. Other than to celebrate both. But especially vaginas.
If you don't have a subscription to award-winning 80-page quarterly Bitch magazine, it's definitely time to start one.

I am quite surprised that
I am quite surprised that someone would have a problem with that word and my feminist friends and I have decided, for exactly your reasons, that it is the perfect insult. Douches are not only a unnecessary product, marketed to women based on vagina-phobia, but because they are an actual object there is no "othering" of another group of people. Unlike the majority of insults, most with which we as feminists are particularly familiar, this insult is not based historically on oppressing certain members of the population. One who deserves the insult "douche" does so because they, like the product are unnecessary and harmful to specifically women, and generally all people.
a douche is at best unnecessary and at worst, extremely dangerous. this is the -perfect- insult for a lot of situations.
i think too much about cursing. i like 'assrag' as an insult also. because there's nothing inherently wrong with asses, but being something you wipe your ass with, well, you know. and i've also spent some time figuring out an equivelent to the intention of 'suck my dick' that girls can use. suck my clit doesn't really work (i just can't get the venom behind it the same way) and i've come up with "lick my bloody cuntrag". the bloody is optional, but i like how it works as an expletive and literally.
I've always liked the Bikini
I've always liked the Bikini Kill "suck my left one", personally.
"douchebag" redux
A logical argument for what douchebag means to YOU, but alas, the reality of what "douchebag" signifies to the rest of our culture is still negative to women. Okay, so schmuck isn't such a good idea either.
I have to say, I love the term "douchebag" for all those reasons mentioned above (and I'll be adding assrag to my vocabulary). I've used the term to describe lots of people, most recently one of the national level politicians, who has thankfully been sent home (I don't need to mention names here, do I?). In fact, I think the term should be used more - perhaps a Douchebag of the year award?

Here's to the titan of the table.
Make it savory and beautiful. Display cheeses with a variety of flavors, textures, ages and colors. From mild to sharp, soft to hard, cheeseboards to desserts, the creativity is limitless.
Make it a main course.
- Make it a party and create a cheeseboard. Mix it up with soft, hard, mild and tangy tastes.
- Create with two to five specialty cheeses. More varieties can confuse guests and their palettes.
- Cheese is best enjoyed at room temperature. Be sure to take your cheeses out of the refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
- Use natural surfaces to display your cheese. Wood, slate or marble make for a beautiful cheese display.
- Offer one knife for each cheese and leave space between each cheese so the flavors don't mingle.
- For a cheese course, plan on 3–5 ounces of cheese per person. For a light cheese tasting, plan on one ounce for each guest.
Explore the tastes.
- Label each cheese so guests know which cheese they're sampling.
- Let your guests in on the adventure of cheese tasting. Add the place of origin, the age and what makes the cheese special whenever possible.
- Cheese is more than an appetizer. Serve cheese after the main dish as its own cheese course. Or at the end of a meal with port, fruit and chocolate.
- Serve it up with creativity. Hollow out fruits and vegetables–such as sweet peppers or tomatoes to make colorful bowls for spreads and dips.
- Get creative and prepare skewers with Roth cheese chunks, fruits and vegetables.
- Smaller bits blend with other ingredients more readily. Shred or grate cheeses before mixing into spreads and dips.
- Roth cheeses are perfect to blend into creamy or chunky spreads and dips. Try our Buttermilk Blue®, Moody Blue®, or the buttery, mellow taste of Havarti for a dip.
- Use toasts and flatbreads for thinner dips. Make sure you use sturdy breads and crackers for dips with chunky ingredients.
Just desserts.
Cheese lets you surprise your guests with desserts that go beyond the usual.
The many flavors of Roth cheese led our chefs to a variety of desserts including a few that are more unusual than most:

The Blues will face Swiss side Basel in a two-legged Europa League semi-final after edging past Rubin Kazan on Thursday but before then they face Manchester City in an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday.
Benitez's side also have seven Premier League games left as they look to secure a top-four finish.
"We've tried to manage our squad and we have players with some fresh legs," said Benitez. "Hopefully we will be fine. We have too many games and we have to use the squad. Everyone has to be on their toes.
"They are doing really well. I was praising them yesterday and today. You could see last night (Paolo) Ferreira had to play at left-back and he'd not played for a while. (Nathan) Ake is a young player. (Victor) Moses and Yossi (Benayoun) were working hard. They did really well."
Sunday's match against a City side who have not conceded a goal in this season's FA Cup will be Chelsea's sixth game in 16 days.
City beat Chelsea 2-0 in February at Eastlands, with Frank Lampard missing a penalty, but Benitez believes his team have learned from the experience.
"They (City) are a good team in a good position in the table, and did well against Manchester United the other day," added Benitez. "We know it'll be difficult but it's a semi-final in a massive competition.
"We know what we did wrong against them in the league and we'll make sure we don't make the same mistakes.
"They're a good team, a strong squad. They have a manager with experience and they have confidence at the moment. We know we'll have to do our best if we want to progress."

Pro Tools 9 Essential Training with musician and producer David Franz demonstrates concepts and techniques necessary for recording, editing, mixing, and mastering in the industry-standard software for music and post-production. The course covers creating music with virtual instruments and plugins, editing with elastic audio for time and pitch manipulation, creating a musical score, and mixing with effects loops. Exercise files accompany the course.
In this video, I'm going to cover how to turn on and off certain automation features. As you know, to play back the automation on a track, you put the track into Auto Read mode, and Auto Off mode turns off automation for all automated controls on the track. If I turn that to off, then this gets grayed out. Moving beyond these basic automation modes, you can also suspend the writing or playback of specific types of automation data on all tracks or individual tracks. Now why would you want to do that? Well, in case you don't want to hear certain types of automation while you play it back, or you don't want to accidentally write over existing automation data, to suspend automation writing on all tracks, select Window > Automation and then click on Suspend to suspend all automation writing on all tracks. Or you can click on specific types of automation to suspend writing of that type of automation.
To suspend the playback and writing of automation on individual tracks, first set the track view selector in the Edit window to display the automation parameters that you want to suspend. So in this case, I'm going to show volume and muting. I'm also going to show volume on these Acoustic Guitar tracks. I want to make these smaller, so we can see more on the screen. You should note that these acoustic guitar tracks are grouped, and that's going to come in to play here in the second.
So now we can Command+click on a Mac or Ctrl+click in Windows on a parameter name to suspend writing and playback of only the displayed automation parameter, and this action of bass edit groups, except for pan automation. So I'm going to go up here and Command+ click, and that's on a Mac, and you can Ctrl+click in Windows. You will see that this gets grayed out, and italicized and so now the volume automation is deactivated. To activate it again, I just reverse what I just did.
So I'll Command+click or Ctrl+click. Now it's active again. If I Command+Shift+click on a Mac or Ctrl+Shift+click in Windows any parameter name, I'll suspend writing and playback of all automation parameters on that track. So, we'll go down here and do that. You'll see that all of the automation parameters are now grayed out and italicized. So they're not active. Now we'll undo that using the Command+Shift+click in the Mac or Ctrl+Shift+clicking in Windows.
Finally, if we Command+Option+click on a Mac or Ctrl+Alt+click in Windows on a parameter name, we'll suspend the writing and playback of only the displayed automation parameter on all tracks. So I'm going to do that here on the bass track, and you'll see that the volume automation on the acoustic guitar as well as the bass and all the other tracks is deactivated. I'm going to undo that. Now let's pop over to the Mix window. Similar to the suspend automation commands we just mentioned, you can also put outputs, sends and plug-ins into automation safe mode to protect their automation data from accidentally being overwritten while automating other parameters on the track.
I'm going to click right here on this Output Window button and click on the Safe button. This means that the output is put into automation safe mode and automation data on the track's level, mute, et cetera can't be changed. The same goes for sends and plug-ins. So if I open up this send and hit Safe, now it's on automation safe and up here, I can hit Safe, and that's in automation safe mode. So use these suspend automation and automation safe features to assist you in writing and protecting automation data in your sessions.

native-plant societies, botanical gardens, and other plant science and
conservation organizations representing more than 80,000 individual plant
scientists and enthusiasts nationwide.
The request addresses the Global Warming Wildlife
Survival Act, a section of the Energy Independence, National Security, and
Consumer Protection Act. The legislation passed the House this summer and
may soon be considered by the Senate. The Act contains groundbreaking
provisions that would direct federal agencies to develop strategies to
assist wildlife affected by global warming. But it does not allow the
agencies to develop strategies for the thousands of plants also at risk from
climate change.
�While we applaud this step forward in addressing the
impacts of climate change on wildlife, the most effective conservation
strategies must be designed at the ecosystem level � to include plants,
wildlife, and their habitats,� said Dr. Norman Christensen, president of the
Ecological Society of America. �Because of complex interactions among
species, it is imperative to employ protection for plants as well as
wildlife to ensure the health of ecosystems and their resilience to climate
�Plants are the foundation of life on this planet, and
critical to human welfare,� said Dr. Emily Roberson, director of the Native
Plant Conservation Campaign. �Through photosynthesis, plants generate the
oxygen we breathe and create the fuel for life. Their roots help clean the
water we drink, and they supply foods, fibers, medicines and countless other
products and commodities we depend on for survival, jobs, and economic
"Horticulturalists value native plants, not only for
their aesthetic value in the landscape, but for their present and potential
contributions as medicinal plants and new crops. In addition, native plants
worldwide are an important source of genetic diversity for breeders of both
ornamental and crop plants," said Dr. Mary Peet, president of the American
Society of Horticultural Science.
Scientists are already identifying numerous plants
that may be lost to climate change. These include delicate mountain
wildflowers like the deep-yellow snow buttercup and bright blue sky pilot as
well as alpine forest types like spruce/fir in New England � all of which
may disappear completely as mountaintops warm. Coastal plants are also at
risk as sea levels rise. Some mangrove forests, for example, may be wiped
out, causing serious problems in areas like Florida where mangroves have
protected coasts from hurricanes and floods and created habitat essential to
multi-billion dollar fisheries and other industries.
The omission of plants from the Global Warming
Wildlife Survival Act is part of a broader trend. Plants are often treated
as �second-class conservation citizens� in the United States; funding and
legal requirements for their conservation are substantially lower than for
animal species. Nearly 60 percent of species listed under the Endangered
Species Act are plants, but less than three percent of federal endangered
species funding goes to plants.
One example is the federally funded Wildlife Action
Plan program, which provides money for state species and habitat
conservation projects. More than $400 million was disbursed by the program
between 2001 and 2006, but not a dollar went to plants since federal law
explicitly prohibits states from using Wildlife Action Plan funds for plant
conservation (unless such conservation comes as a byproduct of "wildlife"
conservation projects).
�No scientific evidence supports the contention that
meaningful conservation of wildlife or habitats can be accomplished in the
absence of vigorous plant conservation,� said Roberson. �If it is to achieve
its goals, this landmark energy legislation, like all conservation laws and
policies, must provide equal protection for the plant kingdom.
The Native Plant Conservation Campaign
has released a Special Report detailing the barriers to effective plant
conservation under federal laws and policies. These barriers include:
These outdated
policies fly in the face of biological reality. Science tells us that plants and animals
are inextricably intertwined and contribute equally to the health and survival of the
ecosystems that sustain us all. If we are to conserve healthy ecosystems and biological
diversity, we cannot pick some species to save and ignore others.
Equal Protection for Plants
The Califonia Native Plant Society and the Native Plant Conservation Campaign
have launched an Equal
Protection for Plants Campaign. Our longterm goals are to amend FESA, improve
budgets, and change state species protection laws where necessary, to provide plants with
the same protections and recovery opportunities that are currently provided to other
listed species. We have launched a public education campaign and a petition drive to build
support for this idea. Your organization can SIGN ON to the Equal
Protection for Plants statement (below)
Fact Sheets:
Open Letter
calling for Equal Protection for Plants under the Federal Endangered Species Act
and animals contribute equally to the stability, health, and functions of the ecosystems
on which we all depend for survival. However, plants and animals are not treated equally
under the Federal Endangered Species Act.
listed plant species are among the rarest and most imperiled species in our nation. But
although the Federal Endangered Species Act prohibits the unauthorized destruction or even
harm of Federally listed animals everywhere they occur, it allows many listed plants to be
killed, without limit, on non-Federal lands, except in restricted circumstances*. In fact,
some plant species can be knowingly driven to extinction without violating the Federal
protection for plants is unsupportable biologically. It disregards our current
understanding that plants and animals are inextricably intertwined in the structure and
functioning of healthy ecosystems.
plant species are protected from extinction as vigorously as animals, efforts to conserve
biological diversity will inevitably fail. Plants and animals depend upon each other for
food, habitat, indeed for their very survival. We cannot arbitrarily pick only one kingdom
to protect. Ecosystems cannot survive with only one group or the other.
For these
reasons, the undersigned organizations urge that the Federal Endangered Species Act be
amended to provide the same protection for plants that it currently provides for animals
through all of its policies, programs, and penalties.
Signed (as of October 5, 2007),
9 (a) (1) of FESA (16 U.S.C. � 1531 et seq.) gives animals full protection from
destruction within the United States or the territorial sea of the United
States or upon the high seas. But Section 9 (a) (2) (B) of FESA
prohibits destruction of Federally listed plant species only on areas under Federal jurisdiction.
Plants also cannot be killed in knowing >violation
of state law, while trespassing, or in violation of Section 7 of FESA which governs
Federal agency actions.
listed plants are only protected
(1) on Federal lands or during activities that are
funded, permitted, or carried out by a Federal agency and are therefore under Federal
jurisdiction, or
(2) in the unlikely event that it can be proved that they are destroyed
in knowing violation of state law or during trespassing.
Logging, housing development,
mining, and other activities may all kill unlimited numbers of Federally listed plants,
even cause extinction of a species, as long as the destruction does not meet these

Ten (Revised) Principles of Academic Integrity for Faculty
[1] Recognize and affirm academic integrity as a core institutional value.
Students need a mental framework to make sense of a flood of seemingly disconnected facts and information. Colleges and universities help provide that framework when they commit themselves to the pursuit of truth. While the ultimate definition of truth exceeds our grasp, the process of truth-seeking is grounded in certain core values, starting with a commitment to honesty and integrity in academic work. It is a responsibility of every faculty member to discuss and affirm that commitment in the classroom.[2] Foster a lifelong commitment to learning.
Most faculty members became teachers and researchers because they love to learn and to share their discoveries with others. The first job of a teacher is to demonstrate that learning can be a captivating and joyful experience, especially when it entails finding creative ways to explore interesting, important, and challenging questions.[3] Affirm the role of teacher as guide and mentor.
From the days of Plato's Academy, teaching was seen as encompassing conscientious companionship, grounded in the shared pursuit of truth. While other professions move headlong into the realm of "managed care," teachers will find that their greatest impact on students-including inspiring a commitment to academic integrity-will come in the context of personal respect, attention, and connection.[4] Help students understand the potential of the Internet-and how that potential can be lost if online resources are used for fraud, theft, and deception.
New generations of students may forget that Internet is a comparatively new invention, with immense potential for human development. That potential will be lost if students don't learn disciplined ways to use online sources effectively and honestly. Faculty members can also try to keep some of the early idealism about the Internet alive by emphasizing that the culture of freedom and openness associated with it depends on virtues like self-restraint, civility, and proper respect for the work of others.[5] Encourage student responsibility for academic integrity.
The demonstrated effectiveness of traditional and modified honor codes, converging with the coming of age of the millennial generation, should accelerate the movement to give students significant responsibility to promote and protect the highest standards of academic integrity. Students want to work in communities where competition is fair, integrity is respected, and cheating is punished. They understand that one of the greatest inducements to engaging in academic dishonesty is the perception that academic dishonesty is widespread.[6] Clarify expectations for students
Defining and enforcing academic integrity standards should be a shared undertaking with students. Nonetheless, faculty members have primary responsibility for designing the educational environment and experience. They must clarify course expectations in advance regarding honesty in academic work, including the nature and scope of student collaboration. Most students want such guidance, and welcome it in course syllabi, reviewed by their teachers in class.[7] Develop fair and creative forms of assessment.
Students expect their academic work to be fairly and fully assessed. Faculty members should use-and continuously revise-forms of assessment that require active and creative thought, and promote significant learning opportunities for students.
Prevention is a critical line of defense against academic dishonesty and is best undertaken after listening to student perspectives and suggestions. Students should not be tempted or induced to engage in acts of academic dishonesty by ambiguous policies, undefined or unrealistic standards for collaboration, inadequate classroom management, or poor examination security.
Students observe how faculty members behave and what values they embrace. Faculty members who ignore or trivialize academic dishonesty send the message that the core values of academic life aren't worth enforcing. Students then run the risk of developing harmful habits that can lead to far more serious consequences later. Prompt and equitable enforcement of academic integrity policies does not have to be unduly punitive. Sanctions for first offenses can and generally should have an educational emphasis.
Although faculty members should be the primary role models for academic integrity, the fact is that defining, promoting, and protecting academic integrity must be a community-wide responsibility-not only to identify repeat offenders, and apply consistent due process procedures, but also to affirm the shared values that make colleges and universities true communities. In this sense, an important aim of a carefully designed academic integrity program should be to serve as a foundation for other efforts to enhance student ethical development.
ASJA Law and Policy Report (LPR) is written by Gary Pavela.
Editor's note: This is my abridged and revised version of an article by
Donald L. McCabe and Gary Pavela appearing in the May/June 2004
issue of Change Magazine (p. 10). Our aim in writing the "Ten Principles"
was to emphasize the critical role of faculty members in promoting
academic integrity and to provide concise guidance about how that
role might be fulfilled.

In Photoshop CS5 Essential Training, author Michael Ninness demonstrates how to produce the highest quality images with fantastic detail in the shortest amount of time, using a combination of Photoshop CS5, Adobe Bridge, and Camera Raw. This course shows the most efficient ways to perform common editing tasks, including noise reduction, shadow and highlight detail recovery, retouching, and combining multiple images. Along the way, Michael shares the secrets of non-destructive editing, utilizing and mastering Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw, layers, adjustment layers, blending modes, layer masks, and much more. Exercise files are included with the course.
If you are a photographer or a designer or just want to share your images with your family, one of the things that you might want to learn how to do is create a Web Photo Gallery. Now, there are lots of different options available to you. If you want to create one that's a little bit interactive and has a slideshow and little thumbnails, you don't necessarily want to crack open a product like Flash and create that from scratch. Adobe Bridge can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you, if you take advantage of its Output module. So, here I have ten images. And I want to create a Web Photo Gallery of these ten images, and either post these online or save them to a folder and send that on a DVD to someone or something like that.
Let's begin by doing a Select All, Command+A, Ctrl+A of the images that I want to create a photo gallery of. I will switch over to the Output workspace inside Adobe Bridge. We are currently in Essentials. I will use the Workspace Switcher, the down arrow and switch over to Output. The default option for the Output module is to create a PDF contact sheet. We are going to go ahead and switch this to Web Gallery. I will go ahead and click on that. The first thing you want to experiment with is which Template you want to use. Bridge actually ships with quite a few different styles of Web Galleries that are very, very cool.
Let's just go ahead and choose the Standard one and see what that looks like. Now, to refresh the Preview, to get this to look like a Web Photo Gallery instead of a PDF contact sheet, you do need to hit the Refresh Preview button. That will update your center area here to actually show you what this looks like. You can see, just from the default Standard Template, you are already getting something really cool. This is actually an interactive Preview. You can actually test the interaction of your Web Photo Gallery right here inside Bridge, without actually having to go outside to our browser. You can see there is some placeholder text.
There is a default name of this called Adobe Web Gallery. You will probably want to change that to something more meaningful for you. You can put your Contact Information here. There is built-in navigation, and showing you how to go from slide to slide. You can click Play to slideshow and show you what number you are on. So, lots of flexibility, and there is color options and so forth. To customize your Web Photo Gallery, you have lots of options down below in this section here, starting with Site Info. Before we get there though, let's just try one of these other Templates. So, instead of Standard, we can choose Left Filmstrip, Filmstrip, Journal, and so forth.
I might even choose something like this, the Airtight PostcardViewer. Let's take a look what that looks like. Again, to preview this inside Bridge, you have to hit the Refresh Preview button. You will get a completely different looking Web Gallery. Now, this is actually kind of cool, because you zoom in, you click to zoom back out, your little thumbnails here. So, it's a much simpler navigation but kind of cool and engaging, like little snapshots thrown on an art table, so to speak. So, there is that version. Let's go back to Style. There is only one Style for this particular Template.
We can try Airtight AutoViewer. Let's see what that looks like. We will Refresh our Preview. So, this looks like it navigates from left to right. That's kind of cool as well. So, lots of different options here. You get really large preview images. Again, you can test this right inside Adobe Bridge. I am going to go back to a more standard one. Let's go back to just Filmstrip, and again, click the Refresh Preview button. You can start seeing what this is going to look like. We will just go from this one. All right.
Go into the Site Info. You see Gallery Title: Adobe Web Gallery. Let's call it Sisters. Gallery Caption: let's call this Greenlake Winter Shoot. We will hit Refresh Preview to make sure that's updated. You will see that changing here. You can put your Contact Information in here. So, I will put in Michael Ninness. Put your E-mail Address in there if you want, some Copyright information, and so forth.
You can give some information About This Photo Gallery. Go ahead and type in some stuff there if you want. I will just keep going. Here is where you can customize the Background colors and the menu colors and so forth. I am going to go ahead and leave everything at the defaults, but you can see, anywhere there is a Color Chip, that's something you can change. So, if I want to change the Main Background Color, you click on that. You get a Color Picker showing up. If I want this to be more of a dark gray, you can do that. We will click the Color Picker, and I would hit Refresh Preview again to modify that choice. You can see the background at the very back is this dark gray now.
Further customization, if you go down to Appearance, you have the ability to control the overall size of all the elements. So, the actual Thumbnail Size is the full size Gallery Image. If you want a Slideshow to happen automatically, how much time do you want to have happened between each Slide, what kind of Transition do you want? We will just go with the defaults and Fade, and so forth. When you are ready to actually save this out, you can either save this to your local hard drive, or if you have actually got a web page up and an access to your Web Server, your FTP Server, you can actually put the path to that FTP Server, your User Name or Password and a subfolder that you want to directly post this up to.
If you have got a live Internet connection, you can push this right from Adobe Bridge right up to your Web Server, which is pretty cool. For us, we are just going to go ahead and preview this in the browser, as if we had done a full on save. You would hit the Save button and give this a name. Save it to a location on your hard drive. We will assimilate that by just clicking the Preview in browser button, and that exports everything needed to create this custom Photo Gallery, and it will launch your default browser. We will go ahead and resize this browser window. You can see there is the Photo Gallery that we created without having to write any code, and we didn't have to crack open Dreamweaver or Flash Professional. It took care of all that, and you saw that we had quite a bit of customization available to us.
I can either just click the Play button to do an automatic Slideshow, and we said it would play for about five seconds, then fade into the next image. We can manually advance to each one if we want to do that. Again, we get that Fade transition from image to image. Or I can quickly jump to any specific Thumbnail with this Filmstrip mode down below. So, this is just to get you oriented, to see that you have a lot of power within Adobe Bridge. Let's go ahead and quit the browser. This will take us back to Adobe Bridge, and you see you have lots of different options to create a custom Photo Gallery that meets your needs, all from within Adobe Bridge, which, of course, is included with Photoshop.

35 Area Students Earn Full Tuition NSCS Board of Trustees Scholarships to Attend Peru State College
Burchard Native Named Recipient of Governor's Opportunity Award
(Peru, Neb.) The Nebraska State College System (NSCS) recently awarded full tuition Board of Trustees Scholarships to 35 Nebraska high school seniors to attend Peru State College. Burchard native Trisha Sejkora has also been named a recipient of the second annual Governor's Opportunity Award.
To be eligible for the Board of Trustees' Scholarship, which was first offered in 1970, Nebraska high school seniors must earn a minimum of a 25 on the ACT (or 1130 on the SAT) college entrance exam. A written letter of recommendation from a high school teacher or administrator is also required. The scholarship covers the full cost of tuition and is renewable for four years. More than 130 Board of Trustees Scholarships have been awarded system-wide for fall 2010.
To be eligible for the Governor's Opportunity Award, a partnership between Gov. Dave Heineman and the NSCS, Nebraska high school seniors must score between a 21 and 24 on the ACT (or a 1500 and 1650 on the SAT) college entrance exam and write an essay explaining why they are committed to remaining in Nebraska after graduating from Chadron, Peru or Wayne State Colleges. The award provides half the cost of tuition and is renewable for four years. Three students, one at each campus, received a Governor's Opportunity Award for fall 2010.
The recipients of the scholarships and their families were recognized by Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy and NSCS Chancellor Stan Carpenter at the second annual NSCS Scholarship Luncheon held this spring in Lincoln.
Carpenter said, "We had nearly 550 applicants this year for these scholarships, so the process was very competitive. The NSCS Scholarship Luncheon provided us an opportunity to congratulate our scholarship recipients in person. It also allowed us to thank their families for their role in shaping these students' lives."
Sheehy said, "There are many students that are passionate about the opportunities they've had growing up in Nebraska. They want to remain in the state. The students receiving the Governor's Opportunity Award and the Board of Trustees' Scholarship will have that opportunity. The three colleges making up the Nebraska State College System provide an outstanding education. Their graduates have distinguished themselves in their professional accomplishments, and they have served as volunteers and leaders in their communities."
Three past Board of Trustees' Scholarship recipients spoke at the luncheon about their personal experiences attending Chadron, Peru and Wayne State, including Chadron State College graduate Ethan Mann '05 from Omaha, who recently graduated from the University of Nebraska Medical College in microbiology; Peru State College graduate Chris Lindner '05, who is an auditor in Lincoln, and Wayne State College graduate Ali Brunkow-Schwanke '03, a marketing manager in Lincoln. Each graduate shared how important receiving the scholarship was as it allowed them to focus on their education.
Scholarship recipients are listed below alphabetically by hometown.
2010-11 Governor's Opportunity Award
2010-11 Board of Trustees Scholars
The NSCS serves 9,000 students from Nebraska and surrounding states through three geographically diverse institutions: Chadron, Peru and Wayne State Colleges. Combined, the three colleges offer more than 200 degree, certificate, and pre-professional programs that are accessible on the three campuses, via the Internet, and in several satellite locations throughout the state. With more than 250 credentialed faculty members and 50,000 successful graduates, the NSCS provides significant human and intellectual capital that contributes to the current and future economic strength of the State of Nebraska.

TOKYO (AP) Shares were lackluster Wednesday as investors waited for the release of the minutes to the U.S. Federal Reserve's latest meeting and took stock of a torrid start to the year for global markets.
The Fed will release the minutes to its January policy meeting later in the day and traders will be keen to see if it reveals any inclination to slow down the pace at which it reins back on its stimulus program.
European stocks were mostly lower, with Germany's DAX down almost 0.1 percent at 9,665.35 and Britain's FTSE 100 0.2 percent lower at 6,783.17. France's CAC 40 was up 0.2 percent to 4,337.48.
Wall Street eked out gains after a sluggish open, with the Dow 0.5 percent higher at 16,216.37 and the S&P 500 up 0.3 percent at 1,845.63.
Economic data out of the U.S. was uninspiring, with housing construction down 16 percent in January, mainly due to sever winter weather.
Stocks made impressive gains last year but sold off sharply in the opening weeks of 2014. Some of January's losses have been recouped, and investors are assessing future moves, said Linus Yip, a strategist at First Shanghai Securities in Hong Kong.
"After the recent bull run there is some consolidation, but the market is still positive," Yip said.
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 lost 0.5 percent to 14,766.53 after a 3.1 percent gain the day before when the Bank of Japan topped up its already lavish monetary stimulus by doubling the size of funds to support bank lending and economic growth.
Elsewhere in Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.3 percent to 22,664.52. Traders were awaiting earnings reports from such heavyweights as banking giant HSBC.
South Korea's Kospi fell 0.2 percent. Indexes rose in Australia, New Zealand, mainland China, Indonesia and most other regional markets.
The benchmark U.S. oil contract for March delivery was up 33 cents to $102.76 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract gained $2.13 overnight to $102.43.
In currencies, the euro was flat around $1.3751 and the dollar slipped 0.1 percent to 102.26 yen.

By Army Staff Sgt. Michael J. CardenAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27, 2008 In Oakland County, Mich., every day is Veterans Day, thanks to strong military support from Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard and the Oakland County Sheriff's Department.
The department is one of 15 organizations receiving the 2008 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award for outstanding support of its employees in the National Guard or Reserve. The department also is a co-recipient of the 2008 Michigan Employer Support Guard or Reserve Pro Patria Award.
Initiatives such as the "Every Day is Veterans Day" campaign launched by Bouchard's department and other local organizations are a testament of the department's respect and efforts to support military veterans.
The department is the first Michigan law enforcement agency to partner with the Army in the "Partnership for Youth Success Program," which actively recruits armed forces members for employment. Because of the program and other initiatives, a number of reserve-component servicemembers, including 12 deputies, now work for the sheriff's department.
Servicemembers welcomed into the department's work force are provided the difference between their military pay and their sheriff's department salary and full benefits for themselves and their families throughout their military career.
Deploying employees are given laptop computers purchased by the department for their personal use, while the department provides employees returning from deployments 10 days of paid time off in appreciation for their service.
The department also remembers its employees who were injured in combat. Employees recovering from wounds and undergoing rehabilitation continue to receive benefits and support from the department.
Bouchard recently was recognized by the Michigan Army National Guard with the Michigan Distinguished Service Medal for his exceptional support to deputy sheriff and Army Sgt. James McKelvey and his family while McKelvey recovered from injuries suffered during a deployment to Iraq.
Bouchard personally visited McKelvey on multiple occasions at Walter Reed Army Medical Center here, and provided weekly updates of his recuperation to the department as well.
"It's been an honor and privilege to work for the Oakland Sheriff's Department," said Shawn Wilson, who also is a U.S. Marine Corps Reserve corporal. "They continue to be a tremendous support system to the individuals who are deployed around the world and their families."
Whether employees are deployed or at weekend and annual drills, they feel they are able to concentrate more on their military missions and obligations and worry less about their families because of the high level of support the department provides, Wilson said.
"Knowing that our families are taken care of at home allows us to more effectively focus on the mission at hand," he said. "I will always be in debt to the Oakland Sheriff's Department and its employees for providing my family with the assistance they did while I was deployed."
The Oakland County sheriff's office will receive the Freedom Award along with 14 other companies in a ceremony Sept. 18 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center here. The Freedom Award was instituted in 1996 under the auspices of the National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve to recognize exceptional support from the employer community.

Utah State looking for way out of the WAC?
As if we needed it, more proof as to just how shaky the WAC's existence is at the moment. According to this report, Utah State is apparently trying to renegotiate an invitation it had previously turned down to the Mountain West Conference. (In hindsight, how bad was that decision by athletic director Scott Barnes?) Already […] [Read More]

Will have a follow-up story in tomorrow's edition touching on some of the details we didn't have room for Friday, as well as hopefully fleshing the WAC's tenuous situation out a little more.

A WAC-y day
So…long day! And judging by the e-mails trickling into my in-box, passions are already running high amongst the UTSA and Texas State faithful.

WAC a possibility?
UPDATE, 4:47 p.m. Just got back from UTSA.

Football commit No. 9: Pleasanton P/K Josh Ward
UPDATE: Though Ward will be given an opportunity to beat out walk-on Matthew Guevara at placekicker, Pleasanton coach Tab Dumont said Ward's "No. 1 job" will be punting and kicking off. "You don't see many high school kids who can line up and kick it through the end zone every time," Dumont said. "That's big. […] [Read More]
Football commit No. 8: Denton Guyer LB Jake Smith
Denton Guyer linebacker Jake Smith (6-0, 200) has committed to UTSA. He had a team-high 63 solo tackles to go with 30 assists, two sacks and one interception to help Guyer reach the Class 4A Division I semifinals. He looks pretty slight, but also extremely quick and instinctive when attacking the line of scrimmage. See […] [Read More]
Ross resignation
Have to say I was caught pretty seriously off guard by the resignation of UTSA assistant coach David Ross on Friday.

The Cottagers had a £1million offer to their relegation rivals turned down for the 28-year-old full-back last week.
With the player's contract expiring at the end of the season, Black Cats boss Guy Poyet is keen to keep him with the promise of a new deal in the summer.
Bardsley looked like his time at the club was coming to an end when he was frozen out by previous boss Paolo Di Canio, but has now established himself as a key member of the side under the Uruguayan.
He scored against former club Manchester United as the Wearsiders booked their place in the Capital One Cup final against Manchester City.

Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
Hi, this is my first post. Greetings from Belfast. Have been a long time viewer of the site, kudos to all involved in making it a one stop resource for the truly modern drummer.
Anyway, the subject of my first post is this; where is Dennis Wilson (no jokes please).
Couldn't help but noticing that a genuinely inspirational and influential drummer is't listed on the drummerworld roll-call. Any chance he could be put up here someday soon? I can give a long list of reasons why he should be here, but for now suffice it so say..."DENNIS ROCKS".
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
He is on the DrummerWorld Wishlist
And welcome to the forums!!!
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
Ahhh, wishlist you say... I obviously don't know this site as well as I thought I did. Thanks for the reply.
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
I'm a huge Beach Boys fan. Dennis was not the greatest drummer, but did have a lot of natural talent. I mean, he was doing studio work and touring with only a year or two of experience. His solo album is pretty amazing. He also is never credited for being one of the first's to play "open handed".
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
With all due respect, I"m not sure how serious that omission is.
I saw Dennis with the Beach Boys on Shindig and elsewhere back in the day, and my overwhelming impression was that playing drum set with any degree of skill was not his thing. Nothing has crossed my vision to change that, unfortunately.
To the best of my knowledge , all the Beach Boys hits were recorded by Hal Blaine, earl Palmer, Jim Gordon, or a combination thereof. Hal's bio goes into this in detail.
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
Start a thread about Dennis Wilson on the drummers page and see what the rest of the members have to say! I looked and did not see one about him who knows it may generate some interest? As far as the Beach Boys goes I like their sound and thought the drumming was fine!
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
He was great on live tapes I've seen ...great natural feel.
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
yes, hal blaine did most of the beach boys tracks in the studio. i'm not sure how many, if any, that dennis wilson actually did for the most part. so it's kinda hard to judge how good of a drummer he really was just by watching tv reruns of him playing along with pre-recorded tapes.
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
Hi guys, I'm new to this forum but had to respond in some fashion to this old thread regarding Dennis Wilson. 1st off the fact that Dennis Wilson didnt play on studio recordings is a massive myth. I also think that the overwhelming attitude towards his drumming (he's been called a basher) has more to do with his brother Brian's attitude than anything else. Dennis played on alot more Beach Boys material and hits than you might realize.
He played on pretty much everything on their 1st four or five albums but did NOT play drums on "Surfin USA." song.He did however play on: "Don't Worry Baby," Surfin Safari," "Surfer Girl," "Wendy," "Do it again" " I can hear music" "Got to know the woman" and many, many more. The fact is he WAS the drummer in the beach boys. In later years, basically from 1977 on is when his drumming really began to suffer due to substance abuse problems just like Keith Moon. One only has to view later Who material to see that literally Keith could not play anymore, Dennis' talents suffered similarly.
Alot of people simply don't think Dennis is a good drummer. But I on the other hand disagree. In fact the early albums/hits that he played on are very good. They all have distinct hooks minus tons of fills.To this day I find it kinda strange that Ringo Starr is worshipped but Dennis (who in many ways was a similar self taught drummer) is never mentioned.
After 1967 he can also be heard on plenty of BB's material and this stuff shows off his drumming best of all. From 1967-1977 is when his drumming was at it's best due to plenty of road work. He however, took his songwriting most seriously and this talent including all the songs he lent to the BB's as well as his "Pacific Ocean Blue" album are incredible artistic contributions. As a drummer for 25 yrs of both tons of live and studio work I think I'm a pretty good judge of a drummer and I happen to like Dennis' drumming. It's not perfect, but then again he never took it seriously enough to make it that way. He has interesting phrasing and creshendos that he relied on, probably because he played 'open handed' although he was right handed.
Most of all- he endorsed Camco drums and up until 1975 he is ALWAYS seen playing either a Camco or a Rogers kit. He almost always used a Rogers Dynasonic snare-thus he had fantastic taste in drum gear. For anyone looking to judge Dennis' for themselves I'd suggest: The Beach Boys lost Concert which can be seen on youtube from 1964. And some parts of The Beach Boys Live at Knebworth from 1980. Albums to listen to- any of their 1st four proper albums as well as "Sunflower," "20-20" and the strangely interesting "Love You" from 1977.

Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
That's fine! You stick with Wilson...
...I stick with Bonham, Paice, Phillips, Powell and Bill Ward.
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
Dennis Wilson was who made me want to be a drummer.
My mother was always playing Beach Boys records, so when they came to town naturally she had to go. i was 11 at that time, this is back in the sixties.
So she brought me along to the concert, and the sight of Dennis Wilson hunched over his drums knocked me out. The sound of the ride cymbal, forget about it, that was it, I was to be a drummer.
I wish I could say that he was good or that he was bad, but that was so long ago that all I remember was Dennis Wilson in his striped Beach Boys shirt beating the hell out of those drums. You know, I can picture it to this day, quite vividly.
I don't think you could say that he was a bad drummer. He was very basic, I'll say that about him, and he and his brother Brian made it work for awhile.
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
I had the fortune of seeing the Beach Boys I guess at least 10 times over the years ,and on two of those occasions,Rickey Fatar,played MOST of the drum parts.One of those tours was with Chicago on the "Wishing You Were Here" tour.I think Dennis only played two or three tunes,but he always seemed to play "Fun Fun Fun"
As I said,I think he was a good drummer, but Carl,and especially Brian,required something more than just good."Pet Sounds","Smile,and especially Surfs Up,were and are masterpieces,that even inspired the Beatles to create an album that contained such amazing vocals and melodies.Just give Abbey Road a good listen.

Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
Just felt I had to respond to this thread. Did you realise that Brian Wilson actually replaced *all* of the Beach Boys on Pet Sounds & Smile (including Good Vibrations) ... he basically got in a session band. So this was not a comment on Dennis' drumming ability, but rather more to do with Brian's musical/production ambitions (and also worth noting that Brian himself was not a virtuoso player - he played little on those recordings). Brian basically left the 'touring' band in about '65 so whilst Dennis et al. were on the road Brian was at home writing and recording - so logistics were a big factor. Also worth remembering that in the 60s it was common practice for record labels to get session players in to record (studio costs were high and session players had studio experience and could get the job done in one or two takes). For example Roger McGuinn was the only Byrd to play on their first album!
Something else worth remembering is that Dennis was a multi-instrumentalist and a songwriter. I also think that one of the strengths of the Beach Boys is that they weren't snobby about getting musicians in to help - for example Ricky Fataar in later line ups. This didn't mean Dennis wasn't doing anything - he was playing keys, singing and songwriting (listen to "Cuddle Up" ... awesome song!).
I my opinion classification of "great drummer" is so subjective to be meaningless. Dennis was not technically amasing ... however he was extremely talented as an all round musician and brought a level of feel to his performance that would be beyond many technically proficient drummers.
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
Funny how details can change a viewpoint or mindset. I found this a very interesting read.
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
Poor Dennis Wilson..born into a family with two very talented brothers...Brian & Carl...
Dennis could not play drums or hold time to save his life...in addition he had no voice. He was as they say "at the right place at the right time". Good for him!
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
I don't know why Dennis Wilson doesn't get more love. Was he a great drummer? No, but he was good at what he did.
If it wasn't for Dennis Wilson, I probably would have never picked up the sticks. My dad is a huge Beach Boys fan. I remember listening to their music as a lad, and becoming a fan myself. As a matter of fact, the first concert I went to was the BB's in 1975 (the infamous "Brian's Back" tour), but I don't remember it because I was only 3.
The first time I really looked at a BB's album cover, I was suprised at how geeky they looked except Dennis. It sounds shallow, but he just looked really cool to me. Especially when posing beside Mike Love or Al Jardine.
Anyhow, looks were important in the age of KISS and disco. It was tough being a fan of a band who looked like a bunch of accountants (in their early days), and my dad and his brothers in the 70's.
Anyhow, I finally got to see live footage of the band, and Dennis made drumming look like fun. He was just back there wailing away, smiling, doing the Beatles' "head shake" before the Beatles hit the States. I wanted to be Dennis Wilson.
Later on, I heard his fantastic solo album, Pacific Ocean Blue, and realized what the Beach Boys could have been if they could have ever got out of the shadow of Brian and the "glory days" (who was in no shape to lead the band). I especially love Dennis' soulful voice. It just sounds genuine to me.
Anyhow, here is part 1 of a good Dennis Wilson documentary, The Real Beach Boy. I am sure that some of you have seen it, but for some of you naysayers, it may change your mind about the late, great Dennis Wilson - one of my favorite drummers.
Luved the Beach Boys.Just curious Is there documented proof as to what drummer played on what songs by them??? I Know Hal Played on the Good Vibrations song because theres you tube footage of it.But there must be a copy of credits to who played on what???? Always wondered this.......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI-jZfbDY48 He looks ok to me......
Re: Serious Omission - Where's Dennis Wilson?
lets say Dennis played on 100% of their albums....still doesn't rate a spot on here. just not anything going on really.

Survey: Femtocell Awareness Low
Less than 10 percent of U.S. consumers are familiar with femtocells, according to a survey conducted on behalf of The Femto Forum by market research firm Parks Associates.
The devices have struggled to gain traction in the U.S. market as consumer demand for femtocells remains soft and carriers have given limited marketing for the devices, which the top three carriers bill as network extenders.
The report, which surveyed 1,100 U.S. mobile consumers over a two-week span in May, found that the primary driver for femtocell interest was improved in-home coverage. Important secondary drivers included increased mobile handset battery life, faster mobile broadband, advanced femtocell services and home-zone calling tariffs.
Simon Saunders, chairman of The Femto Forum, said the survey "presents persuasive evidence of the opportunity femtocells pose for mobile operators to improve customer satisfaction and loyalty while providing new and enhanced services."
"This research has shown that consumers want the core benefit of improved indoor coverage, but they are excited about the advanced services femtocells can offer as well," he said.
Once respondents unfamiliar with femtocells listened to a pitch about the devices, 56 percent found them appealing, reported The Femto Forum. Eighty-nine percent of the fraction of respondents already familiar with the devices also found them appealing.
Femtocell backers say the devices can improve customer satisfaction and bring in extra monthly revenue for carriers. The Femto Forum survey found that of the half of respondents interested in femtocells, about three-quarters were interested in an advanced service using the device. Half of those interested in advanced femtocell-based services said they were willing to pay between $4.99 and $9.99 per month for those services.
The survey also found that consumers were unwilling to pay high prices for femtocells. Of the small percentage of consumers already familiar with the devices who found them appealing, demand was highest when upfront device costs are in the $20-$50 range. That demand halved when femtocells cost between $50 and $100 and halved again when the cost exceeded $100.
AT&T's 3G MicroCell costs $149.99, Verizon's Network Extender costs $199.99 and Sprint's Airave costs $99.99 with additional monthly fees.
Harry Wang, Parks Associates' director of mobile product research, said in a report that the survey indicated "widespread appeal" for femtocells.
"There is a major opportunity for operators to gain new subscribers by taking over the contracts of whole families and by better retaining their existing subscribers," Wang said. "However, operators need to build their business models on market share gains and new service revenues rather than on upfront device purchase revenues alone."
Informa Telecoms & Media expects 49 million femtocell access points will be deployed by 2014.
