3 August 1967: George Harrison of the Beatles, left, sits cross-legged with his musical mentor, Ravi Shankar of India, as Harrison explains to newsmen that Shankar is teaching him to play the sitar. (AP Photo)
When George Harrison met Ravi Shankar in 1966, Shankar had already been touring worldwide, performing his sitar music, for 10 years. In the mid-1950s, western audiences were interested, but a little bewildered by Indian raga. But a decade later, with psychedelia in full swing, we were ready for Shankar's sound – especially when it accompanied the rock music we already loved.
Though Harrison had begun playing sitar before he met Shankar – he used the instrument on 1965's "Norwegian Wood" – he was purely self-taught and wanted to learn to play properly from a master. Shankar was impressed with Harrison's earnest enthusiasm for his music, and they began working together.
Harrison learned fast, and within a year he was turning in fine sitar performances on songs like the Indian classical music-influenced "Within You Without You" from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Thanks to the Beatles and other sitar-wielding rock bands like the Rolling Stones and the Byrds, the sound of the sitar was soon all over the radio, and western audiences fell in love with the music they were once unsure of. Shankar himself became a superstar and an unlikely icon of hippie culture. He won a Grammy Award in 1967, the same year when he played at the Monterey International Pop Festival along with Jimi Hendrix, the Mamas and the Papas, Janis Joplin and other rock stars. Two years later, he was featured on the opening day of Woodstock.
In some ways, Shankar was uncomfortable with his status as a rock star. He didn't like the drug use that was common among those who loved his music, and he was appalled by stunts like Hendrix lighting his guitar on fire at Monterey Pop. "That was too much for me. In our culture, we have such respect for musical instruments, they are like part of God," he said. But he was able to use his influence in the world of rock 'n' roll for good – as when he and Harrison organized the Concert for Bangladesh, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to help refugees whose plight had moved Shankar.
Shankar died yesterday at age 92. To those he taught (Harrison, John Coltrane, David Crosby and more), to the generations of musicians he influenced, to the fans who were enthralled by his mastery of the sitar, Shankar was an icon. His death is a great loss to the music world.

- How to Read a Study Record
This prospective study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial of oral D-met to reduce noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and tinnitus. The goal of the study is to develop a safe, oral pharmacological agent to augment physical hearing protectors for noise exposures that exceed the protective capabilities of ear plugs and/or muffs. The study population is a cohort of Drill Sergeant (DS) instructor trainees during and 22 days after their 11 day weapons training. The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of D-Met in preventing NIHL or reducing tinnitus secondary to a minimum of 500 rounds of M-16 weapons training occurring over an 11 day period.
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Drug: D-methionine, oral liquid suspension
Other: Placebo Comparator
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
|Official Title:
|Phase 3 Clinical Trial: D-Methionine to Reduce Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL)
- Pure tone air conduction threshold [ Time Frame: 15-16 days after cessation of weapons training ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Change from baseline in pure-tone thresholds as measured by absolute change and frequency of significant noise-induced threshold shift (STS)
- Tinnitus scales [ Time Frame: 15-16 days after cessation of weapons training ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Tinnitus questionnaire report of change from baseline in scores for both loudness and annoyance
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2013
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|March 2018
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|March 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Placebo contains sorbitol, orange flavor and purified water; is flavor and color matched to D-Met.
Other: Placebo Comparator
Equal volume placebo.
Experimental: D-methionine, oral liquid suspension
D-methionine liquid suspension also contains sorbitol, orange flavor and purified water
Drug: D-methionine, oral liquid suspension
Two daily doses of up to 100mg/kg/day of D-met for 18 days
Other Name: D-Met
Detailed Description:
Hearing loss can render a soldier less able to detect and identify the enemy, less able to understand commands, particularly in background noise typical on the battlefield, and may permanently reduce quality of life. In some cases, hearing loss may preclude redeployment or result in less optimal job assignment. Currently, no FDA approved pharmacological prevention exists for noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). We have documented in animal studies that administration of D-methionine (D-met) can reduce or prevent NIHL. We now need to determine if it has similar efficacy in humans. Although we have not yet tested D-Met on protection from noise-induced tinnitus in animals, this clinical trial would provide us the opportunity to also test for protection from noise induced tinnitus simultaneously.
Objective Hypotheses:
Primary Hypothesis: Administration of oral D-methionine prior to, during and 4 days post-weapons training will reduce or prevent permanent noise-induced hearing loss.
Secondary Hypothesis: Administration of oral D-methionine prior to, during and 4 days post-weapons training will reduce or prevent noise-induced tinnitus.
Specific Aims:
- To determine whether administering oral D-met can prevent permanent NIHL after weapons training. This aim will be addressed by comparing the results of D-met versus placebo administration starting 3 days prior to, during the 11 day period of weapons training (Monday-Friday for first week, Monday-Thursday for second week), and 4 days after for a total of 18 days. Pure tone hearing thresholds will be assessed before and 22 days after completion of weapons training (ie; 18 days after the last day of study drug/placebo administration).
- To determine whether administering oral D-met can prevent tinnitus after weapons training. This aim will be addressed by comparing the results of D-met versus placebo administration starting 3 days prior to, during the 11 day period of weapons training (Monday-Friday for first week, Monday-Thursday for second week), and 4 days after for a total of 18 days. Tinnitus questionnaires will be assessed before and 22 days after completion of weapons training (ie; 18 days after the last day of study drug/placebo administration).
- To monitor for any potential side effects of D-met in human subjects. This aim will be accomplished by subject query on each day study drug is dispensed (twice daily) and at final study visit, routing of any adverse event reports to study medical personnel, statisticians and to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Why treat water?
Because you never know what's in the water, it makes sense to always protect yourself with a quality water system. A pristine stream may be safe one day and contaminated the next. It all depends upon what's happening upstream. Microorganisms generally come from human and animal waste and are spread by rain and run-off. The EPA reports that 90% of the world's fresh water supply is contaminated.
"We highly recommend treating water from every source in the backcountry. You don't know what's upstream - not just people but animals - and you can get infected."
Center for Disease Control and Prevention,
U.S. Government

Norfolk, VA (Sports Network) - Marcus Thornton buried 7-of-13 3-pointers en route to a game-high 32 points, as the William & Mary Tribe defeated the Old Dominion Monarchs, 74-62, in a Colonial Athletic Association matchup at the Constant Center.
Thornton also converted 11-of-12 free throws, while Brandon Britt chipped in with 18 points for the Tribe (11-14, 5-9 CAA).
Aaron Bacote had 20 points to lead the Monarchs (3-23, 1-13), who lost for the 13th time in their last 14 outings. DeShawn Painter recorded a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds, although he committed seven of ODU's 15 turnovers for the game. Dimitri Batten rounded out the double-figure scorers with 12 points off the bench.
The Tribe jumped out to a 12-point lead on a 3-pointer by Julian Boatner at the 7:25 mark of the first half, capping a 16-4 spurt. However, ODU answered right back with a 15-4 run, and the half eventually ended with W&M leading, 39-34.
After shooting 56.5 percent from the floor in the opening frame, the Tribe cooled off in the second stanza and shot just 35.7 percent. Still, they were able to put together a late 9-2 run to turn a 63-58 lead into a 72-60 cushion with less than a minute to play.
Although the Monarchs shot a healthy 50 percent from the floor for the game, they were 0-of-7 from the foul line while W&M made 18-of-22 free throws. In addition, Thornton outscored the whole ODU team from beyond the arc (6-of-22) in nine fewer attempts.

The catering industry in the UK consists of more than 260,000 outlets and serves over 650 million meals annually. Services employ 200,000 catering staff and offer a wide range of employment opportunities. Kitchen porter, waiting staff, housekeepers and office clerks are a few of the common positions available through recruitment agencies.
Salaries typically range from £13-35K, and £20K is the average income across the UK. In London, wages tend to be somewhat higher, though not significantly so. Only about 7% of employees in the industry earn more than £30K. While often not explicitly required, candidates with NVQs and position-relevant SVQs are much more attractive to employers, and competence-based qualifications are always helpful for those looking to take on roles of greater responsibility. In some cases, BTEC certificates and OCR Nationals are required for certain jobs. Food health and safety courses are also required for some positions. Much of the training for catering staff, however, can be obtained on-the-job. In fact, paid apprenticeship positions are gaining popularity as a method for entry into the industry, and can be an excellent way for young people to acquire experience, necessary certifications, and valuable skills while earning entry-level wages.

Steelhead - Oct 15 through March 15
Smallmouth Bass - August through September
The Grande Ronde has a good population of Rainbow trout above the town of Troy. There are small mouth bass in lower section below Troy. Steelhead trout are throughout the river in winter and spring.
This river gets a lot of fishing pressure from Boggans Resort to a few miles above Troy. The road follows the river through this section allowing for easy fishing access. This section of the Ronde is easy to fish with a canoe or raft.
During the month of August and September the Grande Ronde below Boggans Resort is excellent for catching smallmouth bass. Every hole or pock in the river has one or more fish ready to attack you rubber worm or jig. At times you will have a fish on your line with several in chase. We recommend the Eaglecap Fishing Guides or Winding Waters Rafting www.windingwatersrafting.com
<insert small mouth pic>
The most stealhead fishing in the Wallowa valley exist in the Grande Ronde River. The stealhead are caught on jigs, eggs, yarn and a fly rod. The best time to fish is in the fall (October or November) or the spring before the snow melts (February or March). The best fishing is in Oregon above Troy. This part of the river gets less fishing pressure and there are some very nice runs and holes in this section of the river.

Any hope for front brake?
I tried turning the drum a few thousandth's and that seemed to help a little, but still didn't have very good braking and it still bound up about a quarter of the revolution.
SO, I bought a new drum and installed it. MUCH better and it doesn't appear to be out of round, BUT... I still don't have much braking ability even with a brand new set of shoes.
Can anyone tell me a reliable way to get the shoes arc'd to the drum? I saw in one of the other post's where someone suggested taking the shoes and drum to a local auto parts store and that they'd be able to arc them in a few minutes. Has anyone done this? Seems to me that they'd have to have the correct jig to set up your shoes in order to know where they're supposed to be riding inside the drum.
Just my ignorance showing up again...
Thanks, Jeff

Member of the Collective against Impunity, Nicole and 25 other victims of the Duvalier dictatorship brought charges against the former president for life. On February 21, Duvalier (1971-1986) once again defied an order to appear before an appeals court in Port-au-Prince that is considering whether he can be criminally charged for human rights violations committed during his regime. Duvalier had refused to appear in the court twice before, on Jan. 31 and Feb. 7. Duvalier's defense attorney, Reynold Georges, said the former dictator's presence was unnecessary because he had filed an appeal with the Supreme Court.

POTSDAM - Nearly 400 of the regions finest high school musicians are in Potsdam this weekend for the annual New York State School Music Associations Area All-State concert.
Jonathan Hunkins, band director at Massena Central School, serves as the general chairperson for the event, which includes a day-and-a-half of practice before the all-stars take the stage for a concert that includes performances from a chorus, orchestra and concert band.
When I went through this program as a high school student, it was one of the main things for me that led me to pursue a career in music education, he said. It always helps young musicians to have as many musical influences as possible.
Each year the three ensembles are led by guest conductors with Jennifer Scott Micelli leading the chorus, Stephen Melillo conducting the band and Robert Blais leading the orchestra.
While only having two days to prepare for a performance presents challenges, Mr. Melillo said the important thing is to focus on the experience for the students, not the concert itself.
The challenge is to do the right thing for the kids and not think of the concert as a goal, Mr. Melillo said.
Mr. Blais agreed.
The concert isnt the most important part, he said. Its just a by-product. Sometimes the concert falls apart, but nobody dies.
Lisbon Central School Band Director Glenn Roberts said he enjoys seeing the students, many of whom have never met before, come together for what usually ends up being a great show.
If this was sports, they would be bashing each other in, but they have to come together, he said. Watching them do that is the great thing for me.
While many of the schools traveled from Northern New York and were less than an hour away, there were schools that traveled for several hours to give their students the chance to participate in the event.
Students from Sherburne-Earlville, a school district in Chenago County, traveled for four hours to get their all-state experience. Director Jeff Manwaring said its worth the trip.
The reason I come to this is its a class act, he said, adding the facilities at the Crane School of Music are top-notch as are the organizers of the event.
They have everything in order and run a tight ship, he said.
Caitlin M. Weinell plays the flute and is a senior at Sherburne-Earlville. Shes making her third trip to the north country for all-state concerts. She said this is her second show at Crane, with a show at Indian River Central School sandwiched in between.
Despite the four-hour ride, she said the trip is well worth it.
You learn something new every time you come and you meet new people, so its fun, she said.
Referring to Hosmer Hall, where the students will be performing a concert this afternoon, she said, Its really an awesome place to play. Its a great auditorium.
As for the guest conductors, she said theyre great too.
Each director teaches you new things, she said.
Deea Das, a junior violinist at Potsdam, is making her third appearance in area all-state events.
Its fun, she said. Its nice to play with a full orchestra. Its rare for me to get to play with such a large group, and the music is great too. Kris M. Newtown, a senior trombone player from Lisbon, is also making his third appearance in the Area All-State band.
We get to play with other really good musicians from all over our area, he said, adding he looks forward to meeting new people.
And while he said he enjoys his experience, he said hes also glad that the Crane School of Music is right in his back yard.
Its cool to not have to go on a long bus ride, he said.
Two newcomers to the experience were Kiera S. Cornelius and Tyler J. Sloley, both sophomores from Indian River Central School.
Im expecting to challenge myself, Kiera said. These pieces of music are harder than what we play with our regular school orchestra.
Kiera, who plays the cello, said shes looking forward to hearing how the music sounds once the full orchestra is put together.
Most of the time you just play your part, but when you hear everything come together, its like, Voila, this is awesome.
Tyler said he was looking to add to his musical r�sum�, as both he and Kiera indicated they are hoping to continue playing after high school.
Im looking for the experience, he said. And to have fun at the same time.
Students from 36 different schools will come together for this afternoons performance at 2 p.m. in Cranes Hosmer Hall. Tickets will be available starting at 1 p.m. and are $3.

In an effort to top the success of last year's Restoring Honor rally, and to garner public support for Israel, conservative pundit Glenn Beck has launched his week of Restoring Courage events, which are taking place in Israel. When Beck announced this event earlier in the year, he said, "God is involved in man's affairs, but so is the force of darkness. I believe I've been asked to stand in Jerusalem.
