After taking a few years off to care for her young, twin daughters, acoustic guitarist Bekkah McAlvage is easing her way back into the music scene.
Her new project, tentatively called Bekkah & Friends, showcases songs she wrote during her "time off" and features bassist Sage Meadows, electric guitarist Jef Fretwell and drummer Kyle Coroneos.
The band will play McAlvage's original country, folk and blues songs, as well as some obscure covers, at 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 23, at The Wild Goose Cafe, 2365 Ashland St., Ashland. The show is free to attend. Call 541-488-4103.
In addition to being a frontwoman and mom, McAlvage also is pursuing her master's degree at Southern Oregon University and, somehow, still finds time to play acoustic gigs with Meadows as The Maybe Sometimes at 10 a.m. on the first Sunday of every month at the Downtowne Coffee House in Talent.

Late-night wreck cleared on I26
Published: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at 10:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at 10:36 a.m.
Emergency crews have cleared the scene of a tractor-trailer wreck that occurred earlier this morning in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 26 at the Peter Guice Bridge, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol.
Only one lane is open, but that is due to a scheduled bridge inspection not related to the single-vehicle wreck that happened at about 12:30 a.m., said Trooper T.S. Lamb.
The driver and the passenger of the big rig were transported to Mission Hospital, but Lamb was not sure of their conditions as of 10 a.m.
Lamb said Abdisalam Farah of Rochester, Minn. was driving too fast down the grade, which has a posted speed limit of 55 mph for trucks, Lamb said.
Farah lost control of the 18-wheeler when it smashed into the center concrete barrier, bounced across both lanes and ran into the guardrail on the right side of the interstate.
The truck flipped onto its driver's side and skidded 635 feet onto the bridge, Lamb said. Yusuf Hassan, also of Rochester, was the passenger in the truck.
The tractor-trailer was hauling furniture and cleaning equipment and the load did not spill out onto the highway, Lamb said. There was no hazardous material spill or any structural damage to the bridge, he said.
Farah was charged with careless and reckless driving.
The wreck was cleared at about 9:30 a.m.

AWEA: U.S. Market for Small Wind Turbines Grew 78% in 2008
Small wind turbines added a total of 17.3 megawatts of generating capacity throughout the United States in 2008, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). That growth equaled a 78% increase in the domestic market for small wind turbines, which are defined as wind turbines with capacities of 100 kilowatts or less. AWEA's "2009 Small Wind Global Market Study," published in late May, credited the increase in part to greater manufacturing volumes, as the industry was able to attract enough private investment to finance manufacturing plant expansions. It also credited rising electricity prices and greater public awareness of wind technologies for an increase in residential sales. But a poll of small wind manufacturers found that the growth in 2008 might be only a glimmer of things to come, as the companies projected a 30-fold growth in the U.S. small wind market within as little as five years, despite the global recession.
The U.S. small wind industry also benefits from the global market, as it controls about half of the global market share. U.S. manufacturers garnered $77 million of the $156 million that was spent throughout the world on small wind turbine installations. A total of 38.7 megawatts of small wind power capacity was installed globally in 2008. See the AWEA press release, which includes a link to the full report.

Boozy ice pops
We get the oddest news releases, sometimes on topics ranging from caffeinated jelly beans (yes, really) to the how-tos of raising milk cows in your urban backyard (also yes, really). Still, any email with the subject line "Making drinking easier just in time for summer" deserves a peek, if only to investigate the latest developments in funnel technology.
You remember the boozy frozen pops trend from this past summer? Turns out some people are too impatient to wait for the spiked ice pops to freeze, and their haste is causing "slushy messes." GoodPop Frozen Pops' solution? Pour your preferred booze into a glass, upend a GoodPop watermelon, strawberry or chocolate milk ice pop in it and let it melt into, you know, a slushy mess. We think a funnel could take care of that.
Java jellies
About those jelly beans. ... Seems Fairfield-based Jelly Belly has started making Extreme Sport Beans, little 1-ounce bags of jelly beans that contain 50 mg. of caffeine (the equivalent of half a cup of joe), plus electrolytes and vitamins. We'd expected the candies to come in flavors such as Red Bull or Jolt, but nope, these "energizing beans" come in "extreme watermelon," "extreme pomegranate" and "extreme cherry." Those flavor extremities have us slightly alarmed, but perhaps if we drop the beans in a glass with 2 ounces of booze and a frozen pop. ...
BBB at Humphry Slocombe
Speaking of frozen confections, San Francisco's Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream -- the same folks who gave us boozy Secret Breakfast ice cream -- is offering up a sweet homage to Steve Silver's Beach Blanket Babylon, which is turning the big 4-0. A special edition flavor, Beach Blanket Babylon Goes Bananas, will be available at both Humphry Slocombe ice cream shops (in the Mission and at the Ferry Building; www.humphryslocombe.com) through June 16. The name is a nod to Silver's Club Fugazi debut, but the flavorings -- roasted banana and apple ice cream with frosted peanuts -- salutes the show's most iconic characters: Snow White, Banana Carmen and Mr. Peanut.
"Beach Blanket Babylon is filled with unforgettable characters," says Humphry Slocombe founder Jake Godby, "which made creating the flavor more a matter of deciding what we had to leave out."
We're relieved to report that no ginormous hats were harmed in the making of the ice cream.

At-risk products
PharmTech: What are the most common causes and types of E&L? Are certain drug-delivery and packaging components or product types more at risk?Feilden (Smithers Rapra): Leachables can come from any part of the supply chain or manufacturing process. Issues can arise from the container–closure system itself, the secondary packaging, the manufacturing process, and even the storage environment. Typically the longer the contact time and larger the contact surface area the higher the degree of risk of leachables. The drug-delivery systems most at risk are inhalation aerosols and injectable suspensions. As a rule of thumb, the container–closure systems for these types of products have a large elastomeric content that tends to produce more leachables. Another area of major concern for regulators is biological formulations. Even though a leachable in its own right may be safe, it may have a significant impact on the properties of a biological formulation, such as aggregation, particle formation, or other product quality issues.
Kesselring (EAG Life Sciences): E&L studies are traditionally associated with orally inhaled nasal drug products, ophthalmic products, and injectable products. The quick and efficient transport of material to the bloodstream, which make these drugdelivery routes highly effective, also makes them susceptible to impurities arising from the packaging (this neardirect exposure concern also extends to many topical, transdermal, and implantable products). In addition to route of delivery, exposure quantity, and length of use are other key considerations that must be evaluated during E&L testing.
Killian (EMD Millipore): I perform E&L studies on single-use processing equipment. The most common types of E&L are small-oxygenated compounds, such as ketones, aldehydes, and organic acids generated from the gammairradiation process. The compounds and concentration will vary based on the strength of the gamma irradiation; the higher the dose the greater the number and concentration of these compounds. Other common compounds may include breakdown products from antioxidants added to protect the plastics, siloxanes from silicone tubing, and residual solvents from filters.
Rushing (ABC Laboratories): Some drugdelivery systems are at higher risk for E&L issues. Liquid-based parenterals and inhalation products (specifically metered-dose inhalers and inhalation solutions) tend to attract the greatest regulatory scrutiny. Because of the nature of these formulations, it is not uncommon to observe leachables above the recommended safety concern thresholds set for the toxicological evaluation of leachables in final-drug products. A second common source of E&L problems we have seen at ABC Laboratories is the actual labels that are applied to the drug product bottles. The inks and glues used in labeling have been a common source of leachables in several drug-device configurations.

Volume 2 Number 21 THE NEW MOON OF THE GOOSE FLIGHT (March I, I973) Price 15 cents Council Acts to Govern on 10%, Payout 50 to 90% Dixon (Char-Koosta): (Feb 20) The Tribal Administration will work on ten percent of reservation revenues but the remaining 90 percent will probably not be paid out and a package of 13 reform amendments will not go before the voters. That is the way the Tribal Council decided to handle a pair of governmental improvement proposals. The ten percent administrative budget which did pass during a special council workshop last Tuesday was part of a tight-belted budget proposal by Councilman Fred Whitworth, Arlee. The Whitworth plan aimed at excessive tribal spending through what the Arlee Councilman called "waste and duplication" and trimmed off everything which he felt was not necessary. But Whitworth's proposal also called for the automatic distribution of the remaining 90 percent to tribal members. The Council rejected this portion of the plan and instead approved a compromise resolution offered by Councilman Pat Lefthand, Elmo. The Left-hand resolution would restrict tribal administration spending to 10 percent of the annual income but opened up the matter of per-capita distribution to council discretion. Lefthand's measure placed the already existing floor on dividend payments at 50 percent and extablished a 90 percent maximum. Lefthand said this would give the administration "enough fiscal backing to handle emergencies and other non-administrative situations. The Left-hand compromise passed unanimously. The 13 reform amendments proposed by Councilman Tom "Bearhead" Swaney, St. Ignatius, did not fare so well. The Council had agreed the week before to work the 13 measures in to Whitworth's budget and place the package before the people. But the slate...which would have provided primary elections - an elected chairman and vice Chairman - a full 12 member council - a firm operations plan for the council and administration - and a new of- Washington: The sale of 81.3 million board feet of Flathead Reservation timber may be hung up in Washington over a ''question" of whether or not tribaKederal projects come under the National Environmental Policy Act (NERA). The $4,921,339. sale of the Valley logging Unit south of Dixon has yet to be approved by the Department of the Interior. The Evans Products Co. of Missoula was the successful bidder during an oral auction January 12 and the sale was approved by the Tribal Council January 19. The question on the logging operation is based on a recent 10th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Arizona. The ruling found that Indian projects within that district (Which fice of Tribal Business Administrator - was rejected by a vote of five to three. Voting against the Swaney amendments were: Whitworth, Jim Ely, Ronan; E.W. Morigeau, Poison; Council Chairman Harold Mitchell, Jr., St. Ignatius; and John Malatare, Arlee. Councilmen Lefthand, Swaney and Vic Stinger, Pablo, voted to retain the reform amendments. But the fight over tne reform proposals may not be over yet. During the Feb. 20 work does not include Montana) must comply with the NERA regulations. In the Court of Appeals reversal of a lower court decision in Davis versus Interior Secretary Morton it was ruled the Department of interior could not approve a 99 year lease on the Pueblo Reservation without first filing an environmental impact statement. The department has decided not to appeal the case to the U.S. Supreme Court and the decision is now law in the states under the tenth circuit. Char-Koosta asked Flathead Agency Superintendent Harold Roberson about a possible connection between the delay on the Valley Unit sale and the Davis decision and was told: "A question has been raised as to whether or not Davis versus shop, the Council moved to draw up more specific guide lines for referendum petitions. Both Whitworth, who felt the most important part of his budget proposal had been taken out and Swaney indicated they may take their reforms directly to the people. The new list of regulations for referendum petitions — ordinance 53-A which was approved by the council Feb.23 --outlines the procedure for filing petitions mn&\ d c+ on p~g; \Z.) Morton would be applied to timber sales approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs." Roberson said he did not know whether newly appointed Assistant to the Secretary for Indian Affairs Marvin Franklin had made a decision on the matter yet but noted that Flathead Agency forestry personnel had been sent to Billings for environmental impact statement seminars. Roberson, however, denied there was any connection betweeen the delay on approval of the Valley Unit and the seminars in Billings. If approved, the Valley unit would be the largest sale in the history of the Flathead Reservation. Some 19,330 acres of the 36,326 acre unit would be logged over a seven year period to remove the 81.3 million board feet; Valley Sale Heldup On Environmental Question 99999999999

Whether Irving has bent of falsified or misrepresented evidence
13.127 I am not persuaded that the criticism of Irving for the way in which he presented the statistical evidence of Dr Sperling is justified. I accept the explanation given by Irving why he chose to rely on his higher figure, namely that the estimate which he gave unofficially in a letter was the most reliable one. In the light of Irving's assertion that he had seen evidence which established that Mehnert had informed Kleiner that his estimate of the number of deaths was 40,000, I am not prepared to accept the Defendants contention that this was an invention on Irving's part. The other criticisms of Irving under this head have already been addressed in the earlier paragraphs of this section of the judgment.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- With defenseman Jason Demers out with an ankle injury, Sharks coach Todd McLellan opted to go for veteran Scott Hannan over rookie Matt Tennyson as the blue-line replacement in Wednesday night's Game 1.
Hannan was acquired at the trade deadline as playoff insurance, but his experience is offset by the puck-carrying potential of Tennyson. Using Hannan, however, allows Stuart to stay on his preferred right side.
"Everyone wants to be in there, in the battle," said Hannan, 34, who was acquired at the trade deadline from the Nashville Predators. "This is the time of the year you love to play and it'll be exciting to be a part of it."
Using Hannan also allowed Stuart to play on his preferred right side, something that may also have been a factor in McLellan's decision.
Both Hannan and Stuart acknowledge they aren't big on jumping into the play, but each said they knew when it was the necessary move.
"Obviously our game is in our own end, moving the puck and making a good first pass," said Hannan, whose last playoff game for San Jose came on May 7, 2007, against the Detroit Red Wings. "When the opportunity presents itself, you have to jump in to create offense. When you don't, it's tough on the forwards to maintain pressure."
"Mom runs a day care out of our house and it would've been tough to cancel on the parents," Irwin said, adding his dad is a retired police office who now drives a school bus. Both his parents expect to be in Rogers Arena for Game 2 on Friday.
Irwin enjoyed the fact he was facing the Canucks in his initial NHL postseason.
"The opportunity to play in my first playoff series and it's in my backyard," he said. "It's the team I grew up watching and I get the opportunity to play them so I'm really excited."
McLellan talked before the game about not having Gomez in the lineup.
"He's been a solid centerman for us. It affects us power play-wise and what you don't see or hear is, it affects us on the bench and in the locker room," the coach said. "The guy's won two Stanley Cup championships and over the last two or three weeks, he's almost been like another coach for us."
"We've got him locked in the back. We're feeding him raw meat," Vigneault joked. "The beast will be ready tonight."

Old English dyppan, of Germanic origin; related to deep.
deep from Old English:
The word deep is related to dip (Old English) and dive (Old English), and in Old English could also mean depth (Late Middle English). The phrase in deep water, 'in trouble or difficulty', has biblical origins. The writer of one of the Psalms begged, 'Let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters'. The deep waters of a swimming pool did not become familiar enough to provide linguistic inspiration until the 20th century. If you go off the deep end you have an emotional outburst, especially of anger, and to jump (or be thrown) in at the deep end is to face a difficult undertaking with little or no preparation or experience.

This coming week in about mid-evening, face due south. Hopefully it is clear out. The bright star Fomalhaut will be on or near the Central Meridian- the imaginary line from the due south point passing overhead and down to the due north point.
In the north, the star Polaris, the North Star, is always very close if not right on the Central Meridian. That's because the whole sky seems to rotate around a point right next to the North Star, so it is practically stationary on the Celestial Dome above us.
Fomalhaut is a bluish star, magnitude 1.3. Among the brightest stars, it seems especially bright because it contrasts with the otherwise rather dim field of stars in this part of the heavens. It is also called Alpha Pisces Austrini, the brightest star in the constellation Pisces Austrinus, the Southern Fish. The outline of this constellation usually places Fomalhaut as the fish's eye.
Th star is about 25 light years away; starlight you see tonight left Fomalhaut in 1988.
In 2008, Fomalhaut became the first star with a planet that was actually photographed. Seen as a speck of light by the Hubble Space Telescope, the planet appears between rings of dust encircling the star. The planet is estimated to take 2,000 years to circle Fomalhaut, in a wide ellipse.
In addition to the dust rings and planet(s), Fonalhaut has recently been determined to have two faint stellar companions in what is the most spread apart triple star system known. The third star, which was previously known, was found to be gravitationally bound to Fomalhaut. It is so far from the main star that as seen from Earth, they are separated by 5.5 degrees- just over the span between the "front" stars of the bowl of the Big Dipper.
Above, or north of Fomalhaut is the "water jug" of the constellation Aquarius.
Last quarter Moon is on October 26. Look west in evening twilight for the bright planet Venus.

Charles Freeman Lucas, aka Bean, was born November 16, 1919 in Clinton, Missouri, where he lived and grew up. He was nicknamed Bean for his love of jelly beans and it stuck with him for life. He served in the Army in World War II where he was wounded, captured by the Germans, to later escape and return home. He married Margaret Oskin in October 1945 and moved to California, where they raised three children. Freeman was known for his kindness, loving spirit, and oh how he loved to tease. His hobbies included horseshoes, bowling, cribbage and an occasional trip to the casino. He was an avid fisherman, who took the greatest pleasure in spinning a good tale about the one that got away. He nurtured many gardens, of which he always shared the proceeds. He always had a smile for everyone and never met a stranger. Even after losing his wife, and mother of his three children, in 1960 he devoted his whole life to his children. He was always there for them. After retiring he moved to Gridley, California where he lived from 1978-2009. He left this earth on July 20, 2012 at 92 years young.
Charles is survived by his brother, Raymond Lucas of Clinton, Mo; his daughter, Patricia & Bud Plant of El Dorado, Ca; his son, Gerald "Jerry" & Judy Lucas of Placerville, Ca; his daughter, Pamela & Vern Renfro of Arroyo Grande, Ca; his grandson, Dustin Barr of Reno, NV; his step-grandson, Erik & Heather Bergren of Fair Oaks, Ca; friends Gary & Susan Watson; friend Evelyn Levesque of White Plains, Mo; and many nieces and nephews,Bobbie & Maxine Evans, LaNell & Herb Smith, Peggy & Ross Divine, Stan Lucas, Rick Lucas.

SAN ANTONIO -- Golden State has not won a regular-season game at San Antonio since 1997, and Wednesday, the weary Warriors never seriously threatened to end that streak.
The Spurs extended their own winning streak this season to 19 games with a 111-90 win that came against a Warriors team missing three starters and making only eight players available to play significant minutes.
"We want to win, that's first and foremost," coach Mark Jackson said. "But even the good or great teams I've played on, the mentality coming to Dallas and San Antonio was to win both and worst-case scenario split. We did that short-handed, and now it's about taking care of business moving forward."
Jackson decided to rest Andre Iguodala, who is battling right knee tendinitis and played 41 minutes in the Warriors' overtime win the previous night at Dallas.
David Lee missed a fourth straight game due to a right hamstring strain, joining center Andrew Bogut in missing both games on the team's swing through Texas.
Jermaine O'Neal got the start at center, but after four minutes of action, the 35-year-old did not return because Jackson would not use him in any comeback effort against the NBA-best Spurs after the Warriors got down early.
"I was going to use wisdom," Jackson said.
It added up to the battered Warriors settling for a split on the trip, allowing them to go home as healthy as they could have been with seven regular-season games remaining.
"I guess the bright side was we obviously got the job done last night," said the Warriors' Stephen Curry, who had 11 points and 10 assists and did not play in the fourth quarter with the game out of hand.
"It's going to take a lot to beat those guys, and we knew that coming in, but to split the road trip and to have three home games in row back in the Bay, we're looking forward to that," Curry said.
Marreese Speights led the Warriors with 22 points and nine rebounds while Jordan Crawford added 16 points.
San Antonio led by as many as 17 points in the first half, and when the Warriors cut that lead to seven in the third quarter, the Spurs pushed the lead up to 20 by the start of the fourth quarter and capped off an 18-0 run.
Curry and Jackson were nevertheless pleased with the team's effort even as the Spurs led by as many as 26 points, with Tony Parker scoring 18 points and Tim Duncan adding 15.
The Warriors head into the final two weeks of the season knowing they'll be playing only one game out of the seven against a team currently with a winning record. So what will be the mindset for those contests?
"Treat it like playoff games," Curry said. "We know the records of most of the teams in the next four games are not that great, but that's kind of been our kryptonite at home.
"We have to approach it like we did the Dallas game, like we did the Memphis game, like we did the New York game for three quarters in order to try to take advantage of this stretch and get some guys back healthy."
"You have to be in a position with your head coach where you believe in him that he's making the right decision, and Mark's obviously done a tremendous job," Myers told KNBR.
"The exact trajectory of the ball when touched was impossible to ascertain with the naked eye, and the play was not reviewable," NBA president of basketball operations Rod Thorn said in a statement regarding the shot from Dallas' Monta Ellis.

The 42-year-old homeless man has been dwelling at a cemetery in Nis, a city in southern Serbia, for more than 15 years, turning one of the underground tombs there into a place of his own.
Stojanovic has spent many of his days—and nights—holed up in deadly silence among the human remains. He says he finds the experience strangely comforting rather than unnerving.
"It is quiet here," he explained. "I'm not afraid of the dead, they can't harm me. The living can."
Stojanovic has piled a mattress and blankets in the tomb, which has a concrete roof but is open on one side.
The old cemetery is located in the downtown and has been closed since the mid-1970s, when the last of its dead were laid to rest there and authorities set up a new burial location away from the center.
The headstone of Stojanovic's resting place is partly broken but still bears pictures of the people buried below. Around the cemetery some graves have been opened and apparently robbed.
"Hardly anyone comes here anymore," Stojanovic said. "I am all by myself.
Stojanovic has been out in the streets since the mid-1990s, when his country got caught up in a swirl of ethnic wars, international sanctions and crippling economic crisis.
Formerly a construction worker, Stojanovic at one point could no longer hold down a job and found it hard to get along with his aging father, with whom he was living.
Over the years, Stojanovic found himself spending more time in the streets than at home.
The local authorities in Nis have offered Stojanovic a place in a home for the elderly, but he has refused. He said there are people who help him from time to time, but he mostly gets by on what he finds in garbage containers, including food, cigarettes and clothes.
"I've been in and out of this place for fifteen years now. If I don't find an abandoned or an empty house somewhere that I can use, I come back here," he said. "This is my safe place."

Katharine McPhee's husband may have finally forgiven her for playing public tonsil hockey with her "Smash" director Michael Morris last fall.
TMZ posted pictures Monday of McPhee and her husband Nick Cokas walking their three dogs together in L.A. A source close to McPhee reportedly told Us Weekly, "Katharine and Nick are working on their marriage."
Right. Smoke 'em if you got 'em and all that.
Trust me ... that kind of makes sense.
"American Idol" runner-up McPhee and Cokas reportedly separated for months after the publication publication of pictures of McPhee and Morris trying to give each other whopping cough in the most direct way last year while both were still married. Us Weekly reported McPhee was, nevertheless, "embarrassed" by the scandal.
Director Morris has reportedly also reconciled with his wife, actress Mary McCormack, who kicked him out of the house when the photos surfaced. The couple has been together for more than 10 years and share three kids.

Ernest Hemingway, Laura Cowan, Laura K. Cowan, Music of Sacred Lakes, nature writing, Nick Adams Stories, novel writing Petoskey, Odawa, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Robert Frost, speculative fiction, supernatural novel, Thoreau, Thornton Wilder
Here's the photo on my desktop right now, taken last summer when we went camping near Petoskey, Michigan, so I could do some final research on the new novel I was writing, Music of Sacred Lakes. Yes, Lake Michigan is really that perfect (and that's just a small inlet of the lake), and I hope to do it justice in this novel of a young man reconnecting with his life through the haunting dreams of a girl he killed and the voice of a lake that won't let him die.
I wrote the novel in just 3 weeks, so quickly that my carpal tunnel flared up and I had to take a break. Going back to look at it now, I can see that some relationships need further development in the story, and a lot of narrative summary and exposition from me telling the story to myself needs to be transitioned into immediate scene. Actually, I have a list of about 15 different issues to track and work out. But really, I don't think it's going to take me all that long to clean this one up and make it what it wants to be. Whether I self-publish this one and get it out to you quickly or go the traditional route depends on how agents and publishers react to it and how much of a success they think they can help it be. A few agents have already asked to see my next project, who liked The Little Seer's writing but not its controversial content, so maybe this could happen quickly either way. But whether someone champions it or I self-publish it, this is the next novel headed your way from my head and heart, and I hope to have it to you very soon.
I'm also working up some short stories that are more contemporary dark fantasy, all about the different ways the spiritual and physical worlds might intersect. That collection I'm thinking of breaking up and bringing to you a few stories at a time as well as putting them out as a full collection later this year. Just wanted to let you know what I'm up to, since I just fell off the map after The Little Seer blog tour. I hope you will enjoy reading these stories as much as I am writing them. I really think they have something special you will love.

The Memorial Day Concert in A.K. Bissell Park at 7 p.m. on Monday is a good opportunity to celebrate the end of a holiday weekend and a special way to pay tribute to our military veterans and personnel currently serving in the United States Armed Forces. This annual event is performed by the Oak Ridge Community Band and is the first concert of their summer series of performances on Memorial Day, July 4, Aug. 4, and Sept. 2.
There is no admission fee for the summertime concerts, but donations are gratefully accepted to offset band expenses. The audience is encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for outdoor seating, and there is a paved area for wheelchairs. Refreshments will be sold by Razzleberry's Ice Cream Lab.
In special recognition of our military veterans on Memorial Day, the Community Band will perform Bob Lowden's arrangement of "Armed Forces Salute" featuring "The U.S. Air Force," "Semper Paratus," "The Caisson Song," "Anchors Aweigh," and "The Marines' Hymn." Military veterans and currently serving personnel will be asked to stand during the song representing their branch of service.
Other patriotic music performed by the Community Band will include Irving Berlin's "Songs for America," Samuel Barber's "Commando March," and a medley of songs from Elliot Del Borgo's arrangement of "A Broadway Salute" featuring "Yankee Doodle Boy, "Give My Regards to Broadway," and "You're A Grand Old Flag." Still more tunes by the band will be John Philip Sousa's "Riders for the Flag," and George Cohan's "Over There!"
Monday evening's audience will also hear John Cacavas's "Concerto Americana," Aaron Copeland's "Variations on a Shaker Melody," tunes from "A Tribute to Glenn Miller" arranged by Henry Gass, and Jared Spears's "At a Dixieland Jazz Funeral" featuring soloists Don Batchelor on trombone, Dave Greenwood on clarinet, Lonnie Stokes on tenor saxophone, and Joe Williams on tuba. Other entertaining numbers on Monday night's program will be Cole Porter's "Can-Can" and Warren Barker's arrangement of George Gershwin's "Strike Up the Band."
The Oak Ridge Community Band is directed by Dale Pendley and assistant conductor Lisa Michaels. Rehearsals are held every Thursday evening at the First Baptist Church, and at this time of the year the Community Band issues a special invitation to college students home for the summer and summer employees who have a band instrument to join the band for the summertime concert season. Interested musicians can visit the band's website at www.orcb.org or call (865) 483-3044.

Trisha Davis (University of Washington)
MolBio Seminar Series
Trisha N. Davis
Dr. Davis received her BA from UCSC in Computer Science and Biology and her PhD from Yale University. Her thesis work, performed in the laboratory of Dr. John Cronan, concerned the assembly of a bacteriophage with an inner membrane. During her postdoctoral fellowship in Dr. Jeremy Thorner's lab, she studied calcium signalling. She has been a professor in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Washington for 26 years and was recently appointed the Earl W. Davie/Zymogenetics Endowed Chair of Biochemistry. Dr. Davis studies how cells assemble and regulate the machinery required for accurate chromosome segregation. She is also the director of a multidisciplinary technology development research center.
Chromosome Segregation by the Mitotic Spindle: Investigations at the Intersection of Molecular Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Structural Biology
How does the cell ensure transmission of an exact complement of chromosomes each cell division? How does this process go awry in cancer cells? These are questions of interest to our lab. We use a variety of techniques from single-molecule biophysical approaches to biochemistry, genetics and microscopy to explore the regulation and assembly of the machinery that ensures each daughter cell receives a full set of chromosomes every cell division.
Chromosomes are segregated to daughter cells by a microtubule-based molecular machine, the mitotic spindle. The spindle has two poles, each one carrying an exact complement of chromosomes to each daughter cell. Spindle morphogenesis requires spatially controlled microtubule nucleation. The proteins required for nucleation are known, but they are surprisingly inactive in isolated form. We are studying how these proteins are activated to nucleate microtubules during spindle formation and how their activation is regulated.

Members of Congress urged the U.S. Department of Interior on Wednesday to study the full costs and benefits of alternatives to Gov. Jerry Brown's twin tunnels plan for the Delta.
State officials reversed course in December when they announced they would conduct a cost-benefit study for Brown's preferred plan - two large tunnels running from the Sacramento River in the north to the export pumps near Tracy, a project estimated to cost $14 billion.
But in a letter Wednesday, Rep. Jerry McNerney, D-Stockton, asked Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to conduct similar analyses on alternatives, including a smaller, single tunnel plan recently proposed by a coalition of groups.
"We believe California's taxpayers, small business owners, farmers and families deserve the best information possible and to know exactly how much a plan will cost before it is implemented," McNerney and other members wrote.
Analyzing only the preferred alternative is "irresponsible and further illustrates yet again that the broader concerns and needs of the Bay-Delta region are being left out of the discussion," the letter said.

"Rosemary's Baby" (9 p.m., NBC): A strange way to celebrate Mother's Day? This eerie two-part miniseries is not a remake of Roman Polanski's classic thriller, but a fresh adaptation of the hellishly suspenseful 1967 novel by Ira Levin that shifts the setting from New York to Paris. It focuses on a young pregnant woman (Zoe Saldana) and her husband (Patrick J. Adams), who move into a prestigious apartment complex seeking a fresh start. Just one problem: It comes with a haunted past and an immeasurable price.
"Once Upon a Time" (8 p.m., ABC): The two-hour season finale features a time portal and we've learned by now that time portals usually lead to trouble. Proceed with caution.
"Penny Dreadful" (10 p.m., Showtime): You might want to keep the lights on during this creepy new drama series about monsters and demons who terrorize Victorian London. There will be blood. Lots of it.
"Oprah's Master Class" (10 p.m., OWN): Oprah kicks off the fourth season of the show with a lively profile of Justin Timberlake and all the lessons he's learned over his career.

set 1
sample: this is hardly what you battle the elements to see... come on now
the rain started really coming in strong at this point. the boys packed in for about 25-30 minutes before coming back out.
set 1 again:
pyite: here we go! they played a really sharp snappy punch here.
timber ho!: now this is why you travel... timber ho! 3 songs deep in the show. good version, nothing out of this world.
jibboo: i was kind of sick of hearing this in the 2 nd set. it seemed to be eating up some prime spots, but i welcomed it with open arms here in the first set. they explored the funkier realms of this song with good interplay between gordon and fishman before working into....
boogie on reggae woman: another killer first set selection. they did not take this one for too long of a ride, but it still worked very well.
stash: this was a good strong first set stash. as always, they spaced it out a bit before really storming back to close it out. worth hearing for sure.
batr: standard
foam: bringing out the technically difficult stuff. well-executed. good pick for this point in the show.
dog faced boy: another quasi rare selection. standard
farmhouse: pumping the new album. saw this one coming since it hadn't been played in a littl while. standard
taste: page was on point on this take of taste. this really brought me back into the set after dfb and farm house.
golgi: standard. kept the energy up going into set break.
set 2
mike's song: aw, i was really hoping to hear this close out the deer creek run, but fuck it, i'm in the 7th row and they're playing it now! good version, not a best ever or anything but good. they appear to be poised to slip into simple before jamming back on the mike's theme for a couple more minutes. eventually they space out and work their way into...
frankie says: i always liked this odd little number. it worked well out of mike's. i was expecting weekapaugh but they had other plans
david bowie: they had a nicey spacey intro coming out of frankie says that they played with before slamming into david bowie. this is probably one of the better versions of this tune that i had seen in a little while. they really worked the middle section over before turning the corner to hit the ending sequence.
waste: this was a good opportunity to burn one after another hot start to a set.
sand: having had just burned one, this worked really well for me. like most sands by phish at the time, this one did not stray to far from that basic sand framework, but they explored it nicely within that framework. this eventually gave way to...
the lizards: always a crowd favorite. this one got the crowd boppping before they jumped ship into...
weekapaugh's groove: mike, as usual, came out of the gate hot on this one. fishman was also playing really sharp on this 'paugh.
inlaw: well-executed
driver: hmm....
guyute: good version, nice exclamation point to a good solid show.
both sets started out hot and petered off a bit torward the end. the 2nd set did not peter off quite so much. having had followed a terrific 3 night run at deer creek, this show stood up really well. good times.
high lights:
set 1: timber ho!, jibboo>boogie on, stash
set 2: mikes>frankie>bowie, sand

Meet Santa: Father Christmas
For a very merry day out this Christmas, head to ZSL London Zoo and embark on a trip through the animal kingdom to meet Santa.
Nestled cosily in his festive lodge, Santa will be taking time out of his busy schedule to meet the children on his 'nice' list this Christmas, whilst his cheeky elf photographers are on hand to capture the magical moment.
A must-see this Christmas are the Zoo's most festive animals – the reindeers! Visitors can find out more about Santa's favourite creatures at the daily keeper talk, including why Santa's reindeer must all be girls (hint: it's all about the antlers...)
Kids at the Zoo will be able to lend a hand at the daily 'Keeper's Little Helpers' sessions, where they'll be preparing treats and presents for the Zoo's animals – including stuffing stockings for the ring-tailed coatis.
With loads more to do including carousel rides, keeper talks and animal demonstrations, the whole family will be able to enjoy the fun festivities on offer at ZSL London Zoo.
Father Christmas
Traditional yuletide performer, with a seemingly bottomless bag of fun and magic, adored by children and adults alike. Alas, his visits to these shores come but annually, but each year his performances are met with a heady mix of anticipation and excitement, celebration and commercialism. And like all the greats, he is often referred to by a single name: Santa. Unlikely to disappoint.

Abolish Electoral College
Published: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 12:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 12:05 a.m.
Yes, abolish the electoral college. It is outdated, unfair and an insult to the intelligence of the average voter. Why can't we make our vote count in the presidential election? The Florida vote did not count at all in this last election, and I am feeling betrayed that my vote did not count.
What happened to every vote counts? Why should certain privileged states, such as those in the Northeast, be the ones who decide on the election of our president. Every vote should count. Abolish the electoral college now.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Saint Mary's scored the first 14 points of the game Sunday, then watched its season end with a 63-55 loss to Minnesota in the second round of the NIT.
The Gaels (23-12) didn't allow a point until 6:50 was gone, but Minnesota recovered to take the lead at 29-28. The Gophers than went on a 12-0 run to move into the third round against Southern Mississippi. That game will be played in Minneapolis with the winner advancing to the tournament semifinals at Madison Square Garden in New York.
"We made shots early," Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said. "I'd rather have that 14-0 spread in the second half."
The Gophers (22-13) didn't score until the 13:10 mark of the first half on a layup by Maurice Walker. They fought back to tie the score at 19-19, then went ahead for the first time at 29-28 on a putback by Walker with 14:55 remaining.
Stephen Holt had 24 points as the only Saint Mary's player in double figures. Playing in his final game at Saint Mary's, Holt went 6-of-15 from the field and 9-of-11 from the free throw line to lead all scorers.
Saint Mary's was held 16 points below its average, and leading scorer Brad Waldow was limited to three points.
The Bears (20-13) and Razorbacks (22-11) are meeting for the second time this season. Cal won 85-77 in November at the EA SPORTS Maui Invitational in Hawaii.

Transformational Coach & Facilitator: Global Soft Skills & Maximum Effectiveness through: Physical, Mental, Emotional & Spiritual Intelligence I am passionate about helping Global Leaders, high potential employees and other professionals be most effective and fulfilled by developing and applying four areas of intelligence: Physical, Cultural, Emotional and Spiritual*. In addition to holding a Masters in International Management, I'm a Global Executive Coach, Deep Change® Certified Spiritual Intelligence Coach, Communication Skills Trainer and an Interfaith Minister.
My 30+ years of business experience includes helping senior leaders in global organizations create more success through developing intercultural competence, presence, global communication skills, increased rigor in their business practices, and a balance between process and results. I have coached U.S. American, Asian, European and Latin American Executives in the telecommunication, pharmaceutical, biotech, manufacturing and banking industries to experience greater success, and helped U.S. American and Japanese executives work together more effectively and sustainably. I've been a leader in intercultural and communication skills training and coaching, and was the VP of Sales & Marketing for International Dialogue Education Associates, a globally recognized leader for executives at Fortune 500 organizations in interpersonal skills for business.
As a sales leader, I've won numerous sales awards; I also lived for over two years in Europe and Asia, studying and working in Switzerland and Japan, respectively. I have a Masters in International Management from the Thunderbird School of Global Management. In 2014 I walked the 500 mile El Camino de Santiago across Northern Spain. *Physical Intelligence (PQ): the ability to listen to the subtle signals your body gives you, then respond wisely. A leader who is tired or sick due to lack of sleep or exercise can't guide a business towards physical fitness. A leader operating at less than full capacity can't offer the passion, vision or ethical guidance a company needs. Stephen Covey has emphasized the importance of this in his book "The Eighth Habit".
Cultural Intelligence (CQ): the capability to relate and work effectively across cultures. This includes knowledge of cultural differences in values and communication styles; essential to building bridges and relationships. Without this knowledge and its application, you can't communicate, negotiate, or get things done effectively across borders.
Emotional Intelligence (EQ): the ability to understand and manage your emotions while displaying emotional sensitivity towards others, this includes the ability to communicate effectively. Leaders who lose their temper easily or don't listen or communicate well aren't able to gain the trust or respect they need to get things done with and through others.

Daily Environment Report today noted that the National Research Council has produced a study, Alternatives for Managing the Nation's Complex Contaminated Groundwater Sites, which assesses the scope of the groundwater contamination problem and our ability to address it. One significant takeaway from the report is that
Significant limitations with currently available remedial technologies persist that make achievement of MCLs throughout the aquifer unlikely at most complex groundwater sites in a time frame of 50-100 years. Furthermore, future improvements in these technologies are likely to be incremental, such that long-term monitoring and stewardship at sites with groundwater contamination should be expected.
