Sound Effects and Production Music Licensing Questions
|Here are a variety of common questions asked by users. These are in addition to the ones found on the Help page and Licensing page. They are separated by sound effects and music but many answers apply to both. Take a look. There is probably something close to the answer you are looking for.
|Sound Effects Licensing Questions
Q: Can I use your sounds in my iPhone app, Android app, etc?
A: Yes! We've built our library specifically for game developers. You can use our sound effects for games and apps (iPhone, Android, web, Wii, etc, whatever the platform) without any additional licensing whenever the sounds are used in "sync". Meaning when sound effects are associated with a specific graphic such as game play and interface sounds.
Q: Can I use your sounds in multiple projects?
A: Yes for sound effects. They can be licensed once and used by the licensee in as many projects as desired.
Music on the other hand is licensed per project. If you want to use the same track of music for multiple projects it will need to be re-licensed for each project.
Q: Can I use your sounds in an iPhone app that allows users to select and play different sounds. Does your normal licensing cover this?
A: This would be "non-sync" usage and requires an additional license. We have a simple license that grants you the non-exclusive, worldwide, unlimited rights to bundle the sfx in your app with no further fees due. Contact Us for details.
Q: Is an iPhone app that plays different ambiences accompanied by slide-show images covered by your normal "sync" license, or would it require the additional "non-sync" license?
A: This does require the additional "non-sync" license if the sounds are independent from the graphics. Contact Us for pricing information.
Q: I'm developing an iPhone application that would allow users to choose sounds for reminder alerts. Is this usage is sync or non-sync? If it is non-sync would it require an additional license?
A: This would indeed be non-sync usage and does indeed require an additional license. We have a simple license that grants you the non-exclusive, worldwide, unlimited rights to bundle the sfx in your app with no further fees due. Contact us for details.
Q: I am developing a mobile video game and want to use Soundrangers sound effects but I'm not sure how many downloads I will have. Which 'Game, Download' license should I buy?
A: The different license tiers only apply to music, the standard sound effects license you get when purchasing sfx through our web site covers you for unlimited downloads.
Q: Can we transfer sounds to our client? We are building an app for a client and want to use Soundrangers Sounds. Is it legal for us to purchase sounds that will ultimately be apart of an app belonging to our client? Do we need to do some sort of license transfer?
A: Yes, you can purchase sounds that will be apart of a production for a client. This is very common. Many of our users are developers building something for someone else. This is covered under our licensing. If your client requires we can send them something reflecting this. We just don't want our sounds randomly redistributed in anyway. This is not that. This is using the sounds for what they were intended for.
Q: What would be the license agreement for putting sound effects and music into a slot machine or similar hardware device?
Q: How do I know there won't be hidden fees or legal issues?
A: Because we create our own content, we own the rights to our library which guarantees you the right to use them according to our licensing terms without any hidden fees, third party confusion or murky copyright problems commonly associated with free sound or public file sharing sites.
Q: Do we need to credit Soundrangers in our app?
A: You are not required to give Soundrangers credit, but it's much appreciated if you do!
|Music Licensing Questions
Q: Will I have to pay royalties on music usage?
A: No, broadcasters (TV stations, Radio stations, etc.) They are the ones responsible for paying performance fees to the Performing Rights Societies (PRS). Then the PRS pay the composers. Broadcasters always pay a regular fee to the PRS. You just need to report what music was used so the composers can get their slice of that fee.
Q: Am I considered the broadcaster?
A: No. If you are not already paying Performing Rights Societies (PRS) fees, you are not a Broadcaster.
Q: Do I have to submit a cue sheet?
A: Yes for film, TV and radio broadcast. No for webcasts, podcasts or websites. When in doubt, send us a cue sheet. It doesn't hurt and won't costs you anything.
Q: Do I have to submit a cue sheet for a video game?
A: No, not for the actual video game but if the music from the game is going to be used in film, radio or TV to promote the game then yes. This still wouldn't apply to affect the game usage just the "broadcast" usage.
Q: Do I have to fill out a cue sheet for sound effects?
A: Nope, only for music.
Q: Can your music be used in two or more games?
A: Yes but music needs to be licensed per project. It can be used in variations of the project and to promote the project.
Q: Which music license should I use?
A: See our Licensing page for descriptions of the different licensing types and prices.
Q: If I am doing an Indie Feature Film what music license would I need, 'Indie/Short' or 'Feature Film'?
A: The 'Indie/Short' license. The feature film license is more for large studio, widely distributed and funded films.
Q: I am trying to find on-hold music that I can use for my companies phone system. Can your tracks be used for that?
A: Yes, if the music is used in your company's internal phone system only, you can select the 'Broadcast, Other' license.
Q: What type of license do I need to purchase for a short corporate video which will only be shown in house, not in public?
A: You can use the 'Broadcast, Other' license for this type of use.
Q: I need production music for a video that will play on web, what license should I use?
A: You can use either the 'Web, General' license or the 'Web, Corporate' license if the video is for a corporate client.
Q: We are a VoIP phone service provider and wish to provide a small library of music that our customers can select from. Our system would then play their selection from that library as on-hold music.
A: Anytime sound effects or music are made available to users as "selectable" or from a "library" it requires a special license. Please contact us for details.
Q: I want to make a promotional video for a game I created containing Soundrangers music to be played on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Is this okay under the game license?
A: Yes, you can use the game music for promotional videos that support the video game.
Q: For an iPhone App that is a game, can it be licensed under 'Game Unlimited Downloads' – and NOT the more expensive 'App Unlimited" license?
A: That is correct. The 'App' license is for soundboards, corporate widgets, utility apps, etc. and not actual "games".
Q: I purchased music clips for my podcast under the license 'Broadcast, Other'. Would that license cover playing my podcast on YouTube and also a friend's Internet radio station?
A: It does indeed- the license covers you to broadcast your podcast in any medium you need to.
Q: I bought the 'Game Download, 500' music license for my iPhone game. Can I upgrade if my iPhone game actually sells more?
Also, for sound effects am I covered no matter how many apps are downloaded?
A: Yes, the 'Game, Download' license only applies to the music and yes you can always upgrade the license. You can either upgrade if your app does well, or purchase the unlimited version which covers you for unlimited downloads. We provide price tiers for developers who aren't sure how many downloads they think they'll have.
Sound effects are covered for unlimited downloads.
Interview with Indiegamepod.com About Sound Effects and Music For Video Games
Part 2 of 2
Interviewer: Can you talk about, can you give game developers an idea of the importance of sound and sound design for the games? I mean, it's something that usually they neglect.
Barry: Yeah. Well, it's hugely important. We did a talk about this on Monday and that when you have really bad voiceover and music and sound, it's really distracting from the game play.
Interviewer: Are a lot of the players just turning off the sound anyways because they're playing a game while they're doing other things?
Barry: It's possible. I don't know. I don't have access to that usability data, I guess, but I think from my perspective one of the most compelling things about the games I have played a lot are that I thought the sound design and music was really excellent. I still remember, I think, the first Unreal Tournament that was released. The guy that did the sound design did a really fabulous job because every sound had a great character to it.
So, when the flag cannon is being pumped, the hair on the back of your neck goes up because oh, I'm about to get destroyed. If I can hear the sound somewhere in the environment, I don't know where it's coming from but I can hear it and it makes you react to the game in a completely different way than if you were just playing a record in the back.
We try and make really engaging sounds. To use the cinematic analogy, the first Star Wars movie was very notorious for having really fabulous sounds, like, everybody knows what a light saber sound is. And that sound really identified a lot of things in that movie to the film goer and it stuck with people for a lot of years.
It's no different in games. When you have really great music and sound, and from a music standpoint, things are getting more and more cinematic in games. So, there isn't any reason why you shouldn't have, like, in a console game you have a front end theme, and then you have that same theme reharmonized down across other levels and mini games of combat areas of the game.
That is very similar to the way you would approach film where you have cinematical content and then it gets reused or identified with the character who uses the motif or whatever. The same thing is happening in games. I think that really gives the user something to remember the game by.
Interviewer: Yeah. Would you say that there's anything as identifiable as the light saber, any game that's created that level of identifiability or no, not yet, like maybe, it's still…?
Barry: Well, there's some stuff out there. I think there's so much variety in games that it's hard to pinpoint any one example, but the example I just gave, for me personally Unreal Tournament, there were some great sounds in there I still remember them to this day. There's certain sound effects that all of us sound designers know about that were used on that game.
If there's a wind loop in the front end, we know exactly what library that came from and which sound it was. It's kind of fun to geek out on that stuff and try and identify where it came from. But, the film stuff because it reaches such a wide audience and there's not, obviously, films, it's more of a linear thing. It is what it is. It's easier to identify that stuff. And using that example, the guy that did the sound design for that film is notorious for going out and doing really creative things to build the sounds for that movie.
We kind of try to do the same thing, but oftentimes with games there's so many sounds and because they're not linear you hear them over and over and over and over and over. There's a lot of replay.
Interviewer: That's a good question. Is that even a really bad thing to actually replay the same sound over and over again? You said in your sound library you have, like, many different variations of the same option. Is that a technique that developers should use to actually make it more interesting?
Barry: Yeah, definitely because, like, these days if you use the same story line over and over and over and over, it gets really repetitive. So, one of the things you have to do from an implementation standpoint is you have to have multiple variations of that sound. So, it sounds like the same sound, but it's been altered timing-wise and pitch-wise and it's just the little slight adjustments that are made across different variations really make it come to life. So, you can have five sword clangs that all kind of sound the same, but each and every one is slightly different. So, it just sounds more realistic.
So, for instance, when we were talking on Monday, we went out and recorded an African lion a couple months ago. We knew then we were working on a project that we had to have a lot of creature sounds. All the creatures needed three emotes for an attack, three emotes for a pain sound, three emotes for a death sound, for instance.
In order for us to build that, we'd have to have a lot of source that was all ready, all recorded in the same place. So, the continuity's the same amongst all the sounds. So, we had the lion roar for us 20 times, and we'll take those 20 roars and each and every one of them sounds a little different. So, you can take three of those and use those as an attacking monster sound or whatever.
Interviewer: Are there any other best sound design practices that you would recommend for game developers out there?
Barry: Yeah. I think probably if you have the time and the budget building stuff from the ground up is a really great way to go because sometimes, and this is a little bit of irony with our site, it's hard to find stuff in libraries that will work for games. But, you can always get stuff to work for your games if you go out and record it yourself.
I think a really great example of that are racing and flight simulator games where if you have the sound of an old World War II aircraft, it's hard to find, you cannot find in any other libraries a real World War II aircraft engine loop that loops correctly and replicates the different sounds, the RPM levels of an engine. So, you have to actually go out and find that plane, record it, record the pilot spinning it up at different RPM levels. And then, you take all your material and cut it into a format that's good for games.
Sometimes, it just makes the game sound better when you have all your original source, and sometimes you don't have any choice but to go out and record it yourself because of the demands of the material in the game. And, like, racing games are the same way. It's hard to find cars and race cars with engines looping correctly, so you have to go out and find the cars and record them yourself, knowing what's going to happen with the sounds later on in the game.
If you know you're going to have to have five different engine loops of this particular car, you have to go out and record it for the car and know that you're going to have to pull five loops out of it. So, you better make sure that whoever's stepping on the accelerator holds it steady so it's not wavering around because once you go back and loop it, it will be nearly impossible to loop it without hearing the other engines wavering back and forth. It's a lot of work.
Interviewer: I looked at your customer list. You have a lot of customers that are outside of gaming. So, even if people aren't going to use it for their video game, can you talk about other applications of your sound effects, whether they're for websites or flash simulations?
Barry: Yeah. We do tons of stuff, like all the app developers are really into our library right now because everybody needs little sounds and alerts and stuff for their applications. So, we do a lot of licensing for that.
Interviewer: So, you're talking about iPhone apps?
Barry: iPhone apps, a lot of web interfaces, some hardware. We do license out if somebody is making a digital interface for their printer or something and need UI interface. UI is user interface sound or button sound. They need the sounds for their interface, so they license it from us. We do a lot of independent film. A lot of broadcasters use our stuff as well, so it's not just built for games.
We start with broadcast level stuff and then conform it for games. We found a lot of interactive agencies doing, maybe, they're building a web banner that's got an animation in it and it needs some sounds. That often acts under the same limitations that game audio does. So, they'll license stuff out of the library because they need a quick little button click or like a reveal sound or they need a short clip of music to play under it.
We're real popular with game developers specifically and interactive developers more broadly.
Interviewer: And where can people find out more information then and actually, just start listening to sounds and see if they're appropriate and start buying them?
Barry: SoundRangers.com. All you need is go to SoundRangers.com, and you can start auditioning and listening to our stuff straight out of the gates.
Interviewer: Thank you very much.
Interview with Indiegamepod.com About Sound Effects and Music For Video Games
Part 1 of 2
Interviewer: I'm here at Casual Connect, and with me today is a special guest. How about you introduce yourself?
Barry: Hi, I'm Barry from Sound Rangers.
Interviewer: And what's Sound Rangers about?
Barry: Sound Rangers is two things. We're a custom sound and music development company, and we're also a library of sound effects built for games and game developers.
Interviewer: And for most small game developers, what part of the service are they using?
Barry: We see a lot of people, small game developers using our library because it's really easy and an inexpensive way to source sound effects and music for your game. We've built the library in a way that allows developers to find sounds quickly, find the right kind of sounds built specifically for games and then download them straight to their machine.
Interviewer: So, this is something where developers can just go in, listen to all the sounds and within five or ten minutes just be able to download the necessary sounds.
Barry: Yeah. Say, you were looking for the sound of a cannon or something, you would search for a cannon and then you would audition the sound. And it's about $1.85 and then you download it straight to your machine. So, it's a really great way for people who have very tight turnarounds and are, maybe, on a limited budget. We've got sounds that are actually built for games.
One of the things that makes our library a lot different from others is that we have built the sounds to fit the requirements of a game developer. And what that means is that we have sharp looping files, so, for instance, if you're building a racing game and you need the sound of a race car engine looping, we have gone out and recorded a race car.
We recorded the engine in a manner that would allow us to loop it correctly so that all you need to do is drop it into your build and it'll loop seamlessly and you've got the car engine looped.
With other libraries you have to find the source material. Oftentimes, it was never recorded with a looping format in mind. So, it's nearly impossible to find the right content. Even if you do, it's impossible to loop it correctly.
So, what we've done is done years of field recording that will allow game developers to find what they're looking for really quickly and find the sounds that they can plug and play into their game.
Interviewer: So then, your stuff is optimized for digital games versus the other ones.
Barry: Yes, exactly. So, in addition to the loop, we have background ambient loops because especially in casual games you have to pay attention to memory requirements and bandwidth requirements. So, you can't put a 30 second looping in magical forests on your game. It has to be four or five seconds in the loop so you don't hear the loop wind. We built these sounds to do that for you.
Then, we have multiple variations of sounds. So, if you need the sound of a creature roaring, you know, in games you need three variations of that roar, three variations of the monster attacking, three variations of it being hit. So, we included multiple variations. Because the sounds were all built from the same source, those variations will all work together. And that's impossible to find in other libraries.
Interviewer: And other libraries, usually you have to wait to get the CD or something else. Can you talk about what inspired you to be able to quickly download things, which is awesome. I think that's a huge step. I don't think I've seen that many other companies do that for short tracks. I've seen them do it for, like, longer music but not for the short sound effects.
Barry: OK. Well, we originally started out – in 1998 is when we first launched the library, and there was only one other company doing it at the time. And we decided that putting the sound effects on the CD was really going to limit our ability to distribute our stuff. So, we decided and we found the technology. We got all our credit card processing and stuff in place. We had the library, and we figured out a way to distribute it online so that anybody at any time at anywhere in the world could instantly download something.
And then, also it allowed us not to have to build. You know, a lot of time with CDs and DVD-based terrestrial stuff you have to have a certain amount of sounds, and then whoever's buying it may not want all those sound.
So, we thought it would be a great idea to just sell sounds one at a time. So, if you needed one dog bark, all you bought was one dog bark not a CD full of a thousand other sounds that you didn't use.
And so, the other thing is that we're sitting here in Seattle at 11 a.m. and you could be clear across the world in the middle of the night and you need a quick sound. You can download it because the store is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Interviewer: And then, you also talked about the custom sound in music. Is that where you just work directly with the game developer to do their music? Can you talk about that some more?
Barry: Yeah. We do a lot of custom developments. For instance, we're heavily working on a 360 Wii title. And what we generally do is we will work directly with the developer working out a solution for them, but because we're in Seattle and there's a big hotbed of developers up here, there's a lot of people in town we work with directly.
So, we will do all of the game production in our studios away from the developer, but part of our package is we'll go on site, meet with the producer, the art leads, and the animation leads, the level designers, and all of the moving parts that allow us to get the sound implemented correctly which also is a big thing because you have to sit with these people and make sure that they know that there is sound that's going to come in and they can't finish their stuff up right before the game ships.
We need some time to get that stuff all implemented, and it's just a better way for us to integrate what we're doing because you have direct contact with the people that are taking the sound of music and putting them into the game.

Some people would say that Creon was kind of hard to get along with. Most famously, this king of Thebes had a big ol' showdown with his niece Antigone, the daughter of his sister Jocasta and her husband Oedipus. When Antigone defied Creon's decree that no one could bury her rebel brother, Polyneices, Creon had the girl buried alive in a tomb. (A little harsh, yeah?) This bad decision set off a chain of events that caused the death of not only Antigone, but also Creon's son, Haemon, and wife, Eurydice. Don't go thinking that Creon was some kind of ruthless, power-hungry tyrant, though. He only took the throne as a last resort. In fact, earlier in his career, he abdicated the throne twice—to Oedipus and to Oedipus' sons. Hmmm, maybe he had the right idea early on. It could be that Creon just wasn't cut out for politics.

Runway extension adds to Hartsfield-Jackson's efficiency
Provides safer conditions during emergency landings
ATLANTA – More nonstop destinations, additional payload capacity, more flexibility for aircraft operations and enhanced safety during emergency situations are all potential benefits of a runway extension that recently opened at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
A 500-foot extension of Runway 27R, the Airport's longest runway, opened to aircraft traffic on July 16.
"This is exactly the type of infrastructure project that adds to the overall efficiency of Hartsfield-Jackson," said Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed. "It not only saves our passenger and cargo air carriers time and money but also strengthens Atlanta's position as a preferred gateway for international business and tourism."
During the heat of summer, it can take longer for aircraft to gain the lift needed to take off. Air temperature directly affects how much fuel, passengers and cargo an airplane can carry — and how much runway is needed for a safe takeoff.
"The runway extension allows long-haul aircraft to fly longer distances nonstop, because they can hold more fuel on takeoff," said Aviation General Manager Louis Miller. "An additional 500 feet here means our passenger and cargo carriers can reach nonstop destinations hundreds of miles farther away than they could before."
The $40 million project included the runway extension, extensions of taxiways L and M, and the creation of taxiways LA, LB and LC. These three additional taxiways give departing aircraft triple access to Runway 27R, which increases carriers' and air traffic controllers' flexibility in managing airfield operations and should help reduce departure delays.
Runway 27R is also Hartsfield-Jackson's primary runway for emergency landings. The extension gives pilots a longer surface upon which to land during emergency situations. With the extension, the runway is now 12,389 feet long (2.34 miles). About 540,000 square feet of pavement was added.
Construction on the project began in January 2011. The project is being funded with passenger facility charges and Federal Aviation Administration grants.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
Hartsfield-Jackson is the world's busiest airport, serving more than 92 million passengers annually with nonstop service to 160 U.S. destinations and nearly 70 international destinations in more than 45 countries. The Airport is a frequent recipient of awards of excellence for concessions, operations, architectural engineering and construction - including the 2011 Global and North American Airport Efficiency Excellence Award from the Air Transport Research Society (for more information, go to www.atrsworld.org).
It is undergoing $6 billion-plus in capital improvements, which include a new, energy-efficient rental car center; a new, 12-gate international terminal (for more information, go to
www.atlanta-airport.com/internationalterminal/;and aesthetic and functional upgrades to its concourses, people movers and parking services. For more information, go to www.atlanta-airport.com. Check out the Airport's YouTube

Is Yoga Therapy Right for You? The Next Wave of Conscious Care
Posted By Jill Miller On April 11, 2011 @ 10:01 am In Fitness, Health & Wellness, Healthy Aging, Yoga | 7 Comments
[1]Is yoga therapy [2] right for you? Have you tried everything under the sun to eliminate an ache, pain or chronic condition [3]? If your doctor has suggested that you try yoga therapy (and not just yoga classes), the first step is to find a great yoga therapist to steer you into a customized practice that may potentially improve the conditions of self-healing [4] in your body, mind and spirit.
Charles* practices Yoga Nidra meditation [5] (yogic sleep) with me once weekly at the advice of his general practitioner to help reduce his teeth grinding, which is creating destructive TMJ in his jaw joints.
Like many of my colleagues in the yoga profession, I have spent years trying to explain exactly how the therapeutics of yoga are distinguished and different from other movement, fitness or spiritual healing modalities. Yoga [6] can encompass so many different approaches inside of its big 8-limbed umbrella [7] that some of what we do as teachers falls into a blurry territory. Is it corrective exercise or assisted passive stretching? Is it breath training or stress reduction techniques [8]? Is it spiritual advisement or personal development?
Anna* has had two surgeries in her low back to relieve nerve compression. Years of soccer and track have created imbalances in her hips, which sheared her lumbar discs. Her physical therapist sent her to me to retrain her abdominals, back and hip musculature. We have completely eradicated her pain by integrating proper breath support while working her core [9].
I feel very lucky that from the outset of my training, I had a template of how to work with students who sought to build a yoga practice [11] as a way out of their agony. Twenty years ago, when I first assisted my mentor Glenn Black, he taught a workshop at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies [12] called "Yoga Therapy." It was full of people with injuries and chronic conditions. His years as a manual therapist gave him keen insight into how to work with "the broken body." His students trusted him, and they were able to move beyond their pains and find new freedom of motion. They also transcended the mental and emotional constrictions that also often accompany chronic pain because of the deep mediation practices [13] yoked together with the physical explorations.
Being the daughter of a doctor, I have always been drawn to the healing arts and love the nuts and bolts behind scientific proofs. But I also thrive on the creativity that the yogic arts offer. My current Yoga Tune Up® [14] practice involves sharing students with a circle of physical therapists, pain medicine specialists, psychiatrists, chiropractors and rehabilitation specialists to help students of any condition to live better in their body. With a mutual respect amongst all of these professionals, I am able to support my students at every phase of their journey from injury to empowered wellness.
After decades of decline with a rare neurological disease, Mark* was referred by his M.D. and occupational therapist to learn relaxation techniques and to improve his muscle function and coordination. Three years later, he has nearly eliminated pain medication, and has lost 60 pounds.
For yoga teachers who are drawn towards the therapeutic side of the spectrum, there are now approximately 66 yoga schools that offer instruction specifically to train yoga therapists. The International Association of Yoga Therapists [16] acts as an umbrella organization for teachers and schools worldwide who are seeking to raise the bar of the yoga therapy profession so that it is recognized as a respected therapy. They also support research and education in yoga and hold annual conferences where cutting-edge research in the field of yoga is presented.
Even Gaiam's beloved Rodney Yee [17] has created a training program with Donna Karan called Urban Zen Integrative Therapist [18] training: "The UZIT program includes training in yoga therapy, essential oil therapy, Reiki, nutrition, and contemplative care giving." UZIT includes clinical rotations in their training and are building a presence at several hospitals nationwide. Part of their mission is to also influence a paradigm shift [19] in care-giving towards a more holistic model.
A yoga therapy session will likely create a practice that is modified and tailored to one's personal issues and needs. A great yoga therapist will create a practice for each individual as an individual. A session may consist of breathing (pranayama) and specific poses [20] carefully constructed to reduce pain and to improve biomechanical function. A yoga therapist may use a novel variety of yoga props [21] to help clients to access poses, positions and alignment. Sessions might include extended meditation to help with stress reduction and to influence psycho-physiological change.
A yoga therapist will research resources for students who may need some guidance towards additional care and consult with other professionals. They are also an advocate for their students' emotional well-being, understanding that the depth of a person's pain may go beyond the physical and into the neurological, emotional and spiritual. A great yoga therapist will support all the dimensions of their student.
Here is a listing of some yoga therapy programs that are a great place to begin searching for a local yoga therapist or professional program.
1) American Viniyoga Institute [23], Gary Kraftsow
2) Loyola Marymount [24] , Larry Payne
3) Yoga Tune Up® Integrated Therapist [14], my program
4) Kripalu's Institute for Extraordinary Living [25]
5) New England School of Integrative Yoga Therapeutics [26], Bo Forbes

Ed A JeffreySEE Enrollee
Edgar A. Jeffrey, Ph.D., is a Level 4 enrollee in the Water Management Division of Region 6 in Dallas, Texas who began his career in public health and water long before the EPA's inception as a federal agency. After obtaining a B.S. in Civil Engineering, his M.S. and Ph.D. in Sanitary Engineering at the State University of Iowa, and stints in the U.S. Navy and Army Corps of Engineers, Dr. Jeffrey joined the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) in 1963 and began his preoccupation with safe drinking water in Brazil while working through USAID-Alliance for Progress Projects in 1963.
By 1975, his responsibilities had been transferred from the USPHS to the EPA where he served as Acting Director, Criteria and Standards Development Division, Office of Drinking Water in Washington, D.C. In this capacity, he was responsible for the development of Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations and for a National Academy of Sciences Contract Study, all of which were required under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Dr. Jeffrey then successively served as State Project Manager for Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma implementing the Safe Drinking Water Act in those states.
After his retirement from EPA, Dr. Jeffrey continued his lifelong contributions to the safety of our nation's water supply by becoming a SEE enrollee. While working with Superfund on sources of ground water contamination, he was often asked for advice in interpreting Safe Drinking Water Act regulations and has been considered a valuable resource for EPA in this regard ever since.
These days, Dr. Jeffrey spends most of his time working on the direct implementation of Safe Drinking Water Act regulations on Indian Lands in New Mexico, Oklahoma, North Texas and Louisiana. In one instance, his meticulous review of test samples for lead contamination in the water for a school on Indian Lands revealed only one sample out of twenty that had high levels of lead. But, as a result of Dr. Jeffrey's follow up on this seemingly random clue, high levels of lead were detected in 40% of the water faucets in the school and the children were subsequently placed on bottled water.
Blake Atkins, Chief, Drinking Water Section, who is also Dr. Jeffrey's monitor says, "I am most fortunate to have Dr. Jeffrey working in the Drinking Water Section. When I started working for EPA, Dr. Jeffrey was my mentor, providing guidance and counsel on the Public Water System Supervision program. Today, almost 20 years later, Dr. Jeffrey continues to provide thoughtful and valuable counsel on sensitive drinking water issues impacting the lives of millions of citizens in EPA Region 6."
The contributions of SEE Enrollees are, indeed, many. However, Dr. Jeffrey's impact on the quality of our water and the health of our children has been a contribution of great significance to the SEE Program.

Sometimes some user restart their machines plenty of times so in this case there windows can be slow with the passage of time but this is not the requirement of any user at any time. Sometimes when the window is reboot its start up menu is not access for sometime due to this function all the window is gone slow and user face the difficulty.
Users can speed up the window by delaying the startup services means that user can change the setting and set the settings which automatically delay the start up service in windows vista so that window not give the power of processing to it till all the other files run in the proper set up.
Steps include in delaying the startup of a service in windows vista:
First go to the start menu when a window is running properly and when you can access to the start in the faster mode. Then write the "services" command in the command box of the startup menu or access the services option from the administration tools appear in the control panel. Then right click on it and select the properties option or double click to access the properties of services. Now in this window of properties, there are many more options of the services which can be delay but some can harm users as well like if the users select the delay options of the windows that delay its windows setting then its windows will become very slow so select the service option of the start menu very prudently. Once the user select the appropriate setting his/her 75% works has be done. Then select the "automatic delay option" from the drag box and click the ok button.

Erbitux in Lung Cancer: 'Ground-Rule Double'
Erbitux extends the life of lung cancer patients — a little.
Word on what may be the most-discussed study at this year's American Society of Clinical Oncology conference leaked out early today, with results showing that the drug extended survival for lung cancer patients by just over a month.
Roy Herbst, an M.D. Anderson lung cancer specialist who was not involved in the study, called it "a single or a ground-rule double."
"Any time you see a positive survival benefit in lung cancer, that's wonderful," he told the Health Blog. But, he added, "it's a small benefit. It's just marginally clinically significant."
Imclone co-markets the drug with Bristol-Myers Squibb and Merck KGaA. Herbst has done consulting and other work for Bristol and Imclone as well as the makers of other drugs.
The study included over 1,100 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Those who received chemotherapy plus Erbitux survived a median of 11.3 months, compared with 10.1 months for chemotherapy alone.
Genentech's Avastin has already been approved for non-small cell lung cancer, and one study suggested the drug improves overall survival by roughly two months. But perhaps as many as half of all patients have forms of the disease that cannot be treated by Avastin, Herbst said. Many of those patients may now receive Erbitux, — especially if the FDA approves the drug for lung cancer and insurers pay for its use, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars a year.
The abstract of the study, called FLEX, is online here.
Today's results don't say anything about whether Erbitux performed better in patients with a particular variation of a gene called KRAS, that appears to affect how the drug works.
Figuring out how KRAS and other genetic variations influence the efficacy of Erbitux and other lung cancer drugs will be essential to improving outcomes for patients. Without the insights that will allow doctors to better tailor treatments, Herbst said, "none of these drugs is so good."

The second edition of Bacterial Infections of Humans is dedicated to Harry A. Feldman, MD, coeditor of the first edition. He died in 1985 and was replaced as coeditor by Philip S. Brachman. Dr Feldman's chapter on meningococcal infections remains essentially intact but has been updated by Robert S. Baltimore.
This text was originally conceived as a companion volume to Viral Infections of Humans: Epidemiology and Control, and this edition continues in this role. The format of the two volumes is identical, each chapter having 12 units: introduction, historical background, methodology, biological characteristics of the organism, descriptive epidemiology, mechanisms and routes of transmission, pathogenesis and immunity, patterns of host response, control and prevention, unresolved problems, references, and suggested readings.
The book is designed to fill the gap between texts on basic bacteriology and clinical infectious diseases. Part I ("Introduction and Concepts") consists of two chapters, one each by coeditors Evans

Human metabolism really blows my mind.
I'm at the tail end of my advanced macronutrients class and this past week has been eye-opening. The research that was presented goes against pretty much everything that I've learned when it comes to health.
Throw everything you've ever learned about weight and metabolism out the door. Prepare to change the way you think about calories, weight, and health from here on out.
(Fact #1)- Carbohydrates are not converted to fat if you overeat
Contrary to what your sorority sister told you back in the day, carbs are not the devil. Under normal circumstances, carbohydrates are not converted to fat if you overeat. I say "normal circumstances" because it can happen, but it's extremely rare. The process of converting ingredients from other sources into fat is known as de novo lipogenesis, which very rarely happens in human metabolism.
This makes perfect sense if you think about it in a practical way…
Why would your body do more work than it has to? It's incredibly inefficient for your body to convert something that "isn't fat" (such as carbs, protein, or alcohol) into fat to be stored. It's much easier for your body to take fat from the food you eat and store that instead.
There's no point in running a bunch of unnecessary metabolic pathways that are huge energy hogs. Converting and storing carbs as fat is like driving a metabolic Hummer. On the contrary, storing fat from your food is the equivalent to driving a metabolic Prius (much cheaper).
The underling message is that it's possible to eat large amounts of carbohydrates and not gain weight. Excessive carb intake causes your body to increase carbohydrate oxidation and you burn right that huge bowl of pasta you just ate. Sound too good to be true? It's not! The good news is you will burn all the extra carbs you eat, the bad news is this doesn't apply to other nutrients. Bummer.
(Fact #2)- Eating too much fat is the culprit of weight gain
Eating more fat than you need (whether it's "good" or "bad" fat) will easily be stored in the body. Remember what I said earlier? It's easy to store fat as fat! Before you panic about your chronic avocado habit, take comfort in the fact you still need a daily dose of some healthy fats for optimal function. Just don't go overboard!
This brings the so-called 'obesity epidemic' into play as well. It's easy to jump to the conclusion that Americans eat too much, contributing to increased rates of obesity and chronic diseases.
The issue may not be that Americans are "eating too much", but simply that we are consuming excessive carbohydrates without lowering the amount of fat we eat.
Maybe that low-fat diet trend back in the 90s wasn't so bad after all?
(Fact #3)- Weight loss may actually be impossible for some people
Adaptive thermogenesis is the ultimate enemy for losing weight (and keeping it off). The concept of adaptive thermogenesis means when you decrease the calories you eat, your body becomes more efficient at using whatever it has left to survive. You become better at storing energy and your metabolism learns to function with less calories. Therefore, to sustain weight loss in the long run you will have to continue eating a low-calorie diet for life.
Yes, for life. Adaptive thermogenesis does not go away and can't be reversed. If the low-calorie diet isn't maintained, you'll gain all the weight back. This is just one of the many factors that make some people genetically resistant to losing weight. Society needs to shift it's focus away from weight and move to overall health and disease prevention. Weight is a lousy indicator of health, which I mentioned in this post about BMI
Think about it this way:
Dogs come in all shapes and sizes. Would you say to a St. Bernard: "Just keep exercising and eating healthy and one day you'll look like a Chihuahua." I know, it's a crazy analogy. Humans accept different body types in other species of animals, except when it comes to our own. We think everyone should fit into the same mold, but it's not biologically possible.
Ponder that!

SCO's earlier attempts at network printing left something to be

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Augusta State's Maverick Antcliff turned in his second straight sub-par round Friday during the second round of the NCAA Tallahassee Regional at Golden Eagle Golf & Country Club in Tallahassee, Fla.
Antcliff piled up six birdies, including five in his last 10 holes, and battled back from a slow start to post a 1-under 71. ASU junior Alex Wennstam managed five birdies of his own en route to a 4-over 76. Antcliff is tied for 20th at 4-under 140 heading into Saturday's third and final round, while Wennstam is tied for 47th at 3-over 147. Off the 75 players in the field, 29 shot under par or better on Friday compared to 35 players in Thursday's first round.
Wennstam and Antcliff tee off No. 10 Saturday at 9:20 and 9:40 a.m., respectively, in the third and final round. The ASU duo earned at-large individual bids from the NCAA on Monday, May 6 when the field of 81 teams and 45 individuals were selected for the six regional sites.
A junior from Gothenburg, Sweden, Wennstam played in 11 events for the Jaguars during the regular season. He ranked second on the squad in stroke average (74.03) to Antcliff and led the team in rounds of par or better (13). He enjoyed a strong spring campaign, improving to a 72.79 scoring average in six spring events.

The summary below is from the full report titled "Resource Use and Survival of Patients Hospitalized with Congestive Heart Failure: Differences in Care by Specialty of the Attending Physician." It is in the 1 February 1999 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 132, pages 191-200). The authors are A.D. Auerbach, M.B. Hamel, R.B. Davis, A.F. Connors Jr., C. Regueiro, N. Desbiens, L. Goldman, R.M. Califf, N.V. Dawson, N. Wenger, H. Vidaillet, and R.S. Phillips, for the SUPPORT Investigators.
Previous studies suggest that cardiologists (heart specialists) and generalist doctors (primary care physicians) give substantially different care to persons with some types of heart disease.
The researchers wanted to find out if costs and outcomes of care for people with a particularly common and serious type of heart disease, congestive heart failure, were different depending on whether the patient's main doctor in the hospital was a cardiologist or a generalist.
The researchers studied 1298 patients who were critically ill with congestive heart failure and were hospitalized at one of five U.S. teaching hospitals between 1989 and 1994. This study was part of a larger research project, the Study to Understand Prognoses and Preferences for Outcomes and Risks of Treatments (SUPPORT).
The researchers collected information about the patients themselves, the type and costs of care they received in the hospital, and the specialty of the main doctor who cared for them. They used information from medical records, telephone follow-up, and the National Death Index to see which patients had died 1, 6, and 12 months later.
Patients of cardiologists were younger and less sick at the time of hospital admission than patients of generalists, but they were more likely to have a history of dangerous abnormal heart rhythms. After correcting for patient characteristics, patients of cardiologists had higher hospital costs and were more likely to undergo invasive heart procedures (for example, cardiac catheterization). The death rates at 1 and 6 months were not different for patients of cardiologists and generalists, but at 1 year the death rate was slightly lower for patients of cardiologists.
This study did not take into account whether a cardiologist also saw patients of generalist doctors during the hospital stay, nor did it determine the kind of care patients received after leaving the hospital or who provided that care.
Compared with the care that generalist doctors provide for patients hospitalized for congestive heart failure, care by a cardiologist may be associated with higher hospital costs and more invasive procedures, but survival 1 and 6 months later does not seem to be different. Survival may be very slightly better for patients of cardiologists at 1 year. It is difficult to know, however, whether that small difference occurred because doctors with different specialties give different types of care or because patients of cardiologists are less sick to begin with.

An accomplished dancer, writer and teacher, she began teaching ballet at 16, produced lavish yearly recitals in Detroit and Grosse Pointe, devel- oped a program of exercises designed to prepare women for childbirth, and performed with Dance Nonce.
Ms. Dwaihy-Barr earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Detroit and began a journalism career reporting on numerous topics from education to crime, for The Macomb Daily and Utica Daily Sentinel. Midlife, she dedicated herself to teaching English as a second language, often serving as an advocate for her students. She collaborated with her husband, David Barr, on art and book projects. Together, they traveled the world to install his sculptures, often blessed by a ceremony choreographed and danced by Ms. Dwaihy-Barr. Her love of Italian language and culture grew from their regular trips to Tuscany.
A master knitter, she designed and handcrafted garments for family and friends, including baptismal outfits, which became family heirlooms. Her family said her generous spirit will live on in all who knew and were inspired by her. Ms. Dwaihy-Barr is survived by her husband, David, his daughters, Heather Adamczyk (Mark) and Gillian Copeland (Charles) and five grandchildren; her mother, Rachel Dwaihy; her siblings, Paula Edgar (James), Anne Abowd (Dr. Thomas), Margaret Pryor, John (Karen), Norman (Madeleine), Rachelle (Steven Morris), Marian (Thomas Briske), Jane (Ronald Omilian), and George (Carolin); and 42 unique nieces and nephews. The family is forever grateful to niece, Dr. Renee Dwaihy-Logan, who oversaw Ms. Dwaihy-Barrs care throughout her long illness.
A memorial Mass will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 28, at St. Maron Church, 11466 Kercheval Ave., Detroit. A condolence hour begins at 10 a.m. at the church. The family requests no floral arrangements be sent.

Rabbi Dissick & Rev. Forbes on End of Life Issues
The player will show in this paragraph
Dealing with death...most of us avoid talk of it and try to steer clear of those who are ill or dying. But here Rabbi Marc Disick of Temple Sinai, Jim Forbes, Emeritus Minister of Riverside Church, and psychology professor Susan McFadden urge us to bring the experience of dying loved ones into our lives. Why not celebrate the lives of those who are critically ill while they are still living rather than waiting for the funeral?

Maryland the First State to Ban Arsenic in Chicken Feed
As the 2012 General Assembly session ended this week- we are pleased to announce that one very important bill made it through at the last minute.
Maryland joins the EU and Canada in banning arsenic additives in chicken feed- used to make bigger, pinker birds. Arsenic exposure has been linked to diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Use of the additive has already been discontinued by the Purdue chicken comany and McDonalds.
The additive is currently banned at the federal level while the FDA investigates its effect (really?). Pfizer, the maker of the compound, has suspended production but farmers with stockpiled supplies have continued to use it. As a result of the bill's passage, no matter what the FDA finds, Maryland chicken will be arsenic free from now on.
Three cheers to the Food and Water Watch that lead this campaign and the state representatives that passed this bill!

I saw a great indie film recently called "The Corridor" (here's my review). I was so interested in the script and subject matter that I ended up contacting the film's writer, Josh MacDonald to see if he had any other genre projects up his sleeve I should know about. Turns out, he does! Here's a trailer for his new short film, titled "GAME". I've had a chance to see it myself, and as someone who isn't usually a fan of the format, I have to say this short is definitely worth your time.
"The future didn't want me..." It's a strong phrase uttered by one of the tragic characters at the heart of the story in "The Corridor". It's also, arguably, a sentiment that a good number of males in their late 20's can relate to these days. Our parents were long since settled by this time in their lives, with children, a career and a home with a mortgage. In 2012 however, that's not always the case. Many of us spend an entire decade in our 20's trying to "find ourselves", aimlessly searching for something we can't quite define.

Official: EU to ease Myanmar sanctions
BRUSSELS A European Union official says the EU is likely to ease sanctions on the government of Myanmar on Tuesday.
The official says the visa ban on certain civilian members of the regime will be lifted for a year. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential information.
Foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have appealed for the lifting of sanctions against Myanmar, which held its first elections in two decades in November. After the elections, democracy advocate Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest.
But any easing would open a gap between the EU and the U.S., which says lifting the sanctions is premature. The political and economic sanctions were imposed because of Myanmar's poor human rights record.

The Red Pony
by John Steinbeck
The Red Pony Admiration Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Part.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"Maybe I'll leave Gabilan in the corral when I go to school today."
"Be good for him to be out in the sun," Billy assured him. […]
"If the rain comes, though—" Jody suggested.
"Not likely to rain today. She's rained herself out." Billy pulled up his sleeves and snapped his arm bands. "If it comes on to rain—why a little rain don't hurt a horse."
"Well if it does come to rain, you put him in, will you, Billy? I'm scared he might get cold so I couldn't ride him when the time comes."
"Oh sure! I'll watch out for him if we get back in time. But it won't rain today."
And so Jody, when he went to school, left Gabilan standing out in the corral. (1.94-1.95, 1.96-1.100)
As much as Jody admires Billy Buck, that doesn't stop him from questioning his technique. Jody just wants to be 100% certain that Billy will be around to let Gabilan back inside if it starts to rain. His horse's life is at stake, after all. But Jody admires and trusts Billy, so at the end of the day, he takes him at his word… which doesn't go so well.
Quote #5
Jody's father walked into the barn and stood with them in front of the stall. At length he turned to the boy. "Hadn't you better come with me? I'm going to drive down the hill." Jody shook his head. "You better come on, out of this," his father insisted.
Billy turned on him angrily. "Let him alone. It's his pony, isn't it?" (1.172-1.173)
Who do you admire more in this moment? It's a tough call. We mean Carl has a point—witnessing this tragic death probably won't do any favors for Jody (and afterwards, he does show some odd serial killer tendencies for a while). But Billy's got a point, too. It's Jody's pony. So shouldn't Jody get to stick with him until the end?
Quote #6
Billy Buck broke in. "They got a right to rest after they worked all their life. Maybe they just like to walk around." (2.104)
Billy's got a soft spot for old animals and old men. Maybe that's because he admires all the hard work they've done over the years, whereas Carl just sees them as useless because their hard work is all behind them.

Doing a little catch up #3
Now we're talking Mammoth Hot Springs! The color produced by the algae that lives in the scalding temps are surreal. It boggles my mind that in water that would kill us, these microorganisms can thrive and produce an artists pallet of colors.
Than on top of that you have trees that take hold and are able to grow for a period of time. Once they die, they remain as monuments to the tenasity of life to hold on even when it doesn't seem possible. Photographically, their black gives the eye a great reference to see the colors that make Mammoth Hot Springs such a landscacpe gem.

…Or maybe I have just died and went to heaven — or The Spa at Arrabelle in Vail, Colorado?? On a recent trip I was lucky enough to have the surreal experience of staying at the Arrabelle for a few days and if the amazing accommodations weren't enough to make me a huge fan, I was also able to enjoy a much-needed massage and relax in the ethereal surroundings at The Spa. Not only did the massage therapist work magical wonders on my tense muscles but afterwards we were given a sweet treat of sorbet. Really, what more could a girl ask for?
The soothing music combined with the mother-of-pearl tiles and gauzy curtains created an environment where I would not have been surprised had cherubim and seraphim floated by on a cloud. (Insert the "aaahh — gates of heaven have opened" music here).
After my spa-gasmic experience I had a bite of lunch at Arrabelle's restaurant, T2. Due to the fact that I was practically walking on air from my massage and also because my name is Britt Bowe (therefore I am a B2); I may have been slightly biased walking in to the establishment. But the food and atmosphere speak for themselves as Arrabelle clearly has not overlooked any details when it comes to creating a beautiful place to stay and play.
Maybe it was the sunny weather or view from our balcony or maybe the moonlight dip in the rooftop pool and hot tub that sealed the deal, but I can absolutely guarantee that I will be returning to Arrabelle as soon as possible.

I would start by using user RPL and see if that meets your needs. Why
don't you download the HP-50 manual and look at the vast set of
commands available to you. You can do a lot with the user RPL so
don't be too anxious to learn sys RPL or assembly language and take
your precious time away from your math problems.

Few things in life are as painful as when the person that you loved and wanted to spend the rest of your life with breaks up with you. The How to Get Over a Breakup eBook may seem like a waste of time to you right now. You might feel like there is no advice, book, program or help in the world that could possibly make you feel any better. You might even feel like you can't make it through one more day. But this eBook is worth trying.
The How to Get Over a Breakup eBook is not one of those programs that promise to teach you the "tricks" of how to get your ex back. Instead, it is designed to help those who are suffering from a broken heart learn how to get past the pain of lost love and on with the rest of their lives.
Unlike some of the other programs out there that promise a quick and easy fix to the difficult problem of a broken heart, the How to Get Over a Breakup eBook does NOT promise a quick Band-Aid approach to getting on with your life.
The person who developed the program knows that in order to truly get past the pain of a broken heart, it is necessary to work through certain things. He has developed a series of steps to help you do just that. Some of the steps take longer than others to get through. The point of How to Get Over a Breakup eBook is not a quick fix, but is instead a long term solution designed to help you get on with the rest of your life.
That being said, no one wants to continue suffering the pain of a broken heart while they work on their issues. That is why the first couple of steps can actually bring a measure of relief while you work on the rest of the program. That means that the level of pain that you feel today does not have to be there in a week. The book provides simple and clear instructions and helps you to cut through the pain, so you can get to the business of moving on.
While professional counseling is another option; that can be expensive and time consuming. You have to keep weekly appointments while shelling out $75 to $100 per session. The How to Get Over a Breakup eBook is normally only $75 but it is currently on sale for just $17.
This book can help those with a broken heart get back on the path that they deserve to be on. If you have a broken heart, you should not wait one more day. This program can help you the same way that it has helped hundreds of others.
