A Napa Valley winery with local ties is giving a new meaning to the term "wet bar" by embarking on an intriguing taste test today.
Mira Winery said it plans to become the first American winery to experiment with ocean aging by submerging four cases of its 2009 cabernet sauvignon in specially designed cages in Charleston Harbor. The goal is to understand the difference between wine aged on the ocean floor versus wine aged in the warehouse.
A dive team is scheduled to leave from the Charleston Maritime Center at 10 a.m. today to place the cases. They will remain there for three months. Afterward, the wine will be tested and tasted with bottles of the same vintage stored in similar conditions above ground.
The president of St. Helena, Calif.-based Mira Winery is political consultant Jim Dyke Jr., who lives in Charleston.
Mira Winery said several European wineries have experimented with aging and storing wine in the ocean, though it believes its project is the first of its kind in the United States.
"The ocean has similar ideal elements that impact aging — temperature, pressure, humidity, pressure motion, light — or lack thereof — and oxygen," Gustavo Gonzalez, Mira Winery's winemaker, said in the statement. "Is there something just as impactful and interesting in aquaoir as there is about terroir? We are going to try and find out."

Slow Cooker Soup Recipes for Cold DaysJulieVR
Fall is CrockPot season – that time of year when slow cookers come out of hiding and are put back to work for the winter. It's also soup season – when a warm bowl of something steamy hits the spot. If you can make that soup in your slow cooker and let it simmer all day, all the better. Here are some great soup recipes that can easily be made in the slow cooker – and how to adapt your own favourite recipes.
Fortunately, soup recipes are the most lax of any I know – you can generally wing it when you make a pot of soup, adding meat, veg, stock, anything you like – and simmering until it's done. So most soups can be easily made in a slow cooker. Most of these recipes don't call for slow cooking, but you can treat your slow cooker as the pot on the stove, and cook them on low for 4-8 hours. Pureed soups like potato-leek and butternut squash work particularly well, as you don't have to worry about overcooking the vegetables. If you have a hand-held immersion blender, puree the soup right in the slow cooker! (If you don't have one, it's worth adding to your Christmas list!)
Sweet Potato and Yellow Split Pea Soup 1 of 11Yellow split peas go perfectly with sweet potatoes, adding fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals to this smooth, sippable soup.
Get the recipe from Sweet Potato Chronicles!
Loaded Baked Potato Soup 2 of 11Potato soup is nice, but loaded baked potato soup is divine - pile on the bacon, cheese, green onions - anything you love on baked potatoes.
Get the recipe from Cheeky Kitchen!
Cozy Chili-Bean Soup 3 of 11Filled with veggies, red kidney beans and plenty of spicy (yet mellow enough for the whole family) chili pepper flavours, this is Kathy's go-to family dinner. It'll warm you up!
Get the recipe from the Family Kitchen!
Vegan Black Bean Soup 4 of 11This divine soup is made using dry beans in the slow cooker just tossed in with plenty of liquid without the need to pre soak them. Try adding ham, sausage - everything goes well with black beans!
Get the recipe from the Family Kitchen!
Roasted Garlic Maple Cauliflower Soup 5 of 11Does it get more deliciously comforting than this? Cauliflower makes a fantastic, mellow soup - similar to potato, but not as starchy. I love the addition of roasted garlic and maple!
Get the recipe from Food for My Family!
African Curried Chickpea Soup 6 of 11This recipe is interesting - like a curry, only soupier, and made with chickpeas, like a chana masala. Try using dry chickpeas if you like - add an extra cup or two of stock or water as they'll absorb more moisture than canned chickpeas.
Get the recipe from Dinner with Julie!
Pumpkin Curry Soup 7 of 11As Jaime puts it, those cans of pumpkin puree just beg to be cooked into a soup. Why limit yourself to butternut squash? Opening a can of pumpkin is far easier!
Get the recipe from Sophistimom!
Cream of Potato-Leek Soup 8 of 11Five minutes and five ingredients are all you need to get this soup simmering. Then it just needs to be pureed - if you like, add a splash of cream, too.

Butternut Squash & Apple Soup 9 of 11It doesn't get more seasonal than butternut squash and apple soup. This is a classic - do it in your slow cooker, then puree. Simple! Photo: Katie of Good Life Eats

Potato Leek Soup 10 of 11Potato leek soup is a winter staple, a simple and delicious blend of leeks and potatoes. Try filling your mug with sippable soup instead of coffee for an afternoon pick me up.

Mickey Morandini clearly didn't put his 'A' lineup on the field against Mahoning Valley on Sunday at Bowman Field. The first-year Williamsport manager certainly got an 'A' lineup performance, though.
With four regular bench players in the starting lineup, the Crosscutters pounded out 12 hits, scored six runs and executed some small ball to beat the Scrappers, 6-2, in front of more than 2,700 fans. Combined with Colin Kleven's second consecutive strong start, the Cutters snapped a three-game losing streak.
"Yeah, this wasn't the 'A' lineup, but it just shows how deep we are as a team," first baseman Brock Stassi said after going 1 for 3 with an RBI. "Some of these guys might be able to start in different organizations, but we're all here and we're trying to come together as a team. I think (Sunday) was a really good team win."
What Morandini got from this lineup - which also featured Witer Jimenez in right field, Luis Unda in left field and Kenny Miramontes at shortstop - was an energetic performance. The four bench players combined for five hits and two runs scored.
Although Miramontes didn't get credit for any runs batted in, he helped set up two runs with two perfectly executed hit-and-run plays with catcher Francisco Diaz. For a team that has struggled to string hits together, it was the perfect way to interject some life into the offense.
With a 3-2 lead in the fourth inning, Miramontes slapped the ball through the right side with Diaz running. Four pitches later, Kyrell Hudson singled to right field to score Diaz.
Leading 5-2 in the eighth, the two executed another hit-and-run and Aaron Altherr, pinch hitting for Hudson, lifted a sacrifice fly to left field to extend the Cutters' lead.
"That was a real good job by K.J. to put the bat on the ball and strike it the other way," Morandini said. "When you're struggling to score runs, you have to find a way to make it happen. Luckily for us we were able to do that."
"We're not a team that's going to hit the ball out of the yard every night," Stassi said. "In order to win games, we're going to have to do the little things - bunt guys over, hit-and-run, those types of things. Kenny executed the hit-and-run perfectly and I'm sure you're going to see more of that out of us as the year goes on."
Those runs were tacked on to the lead the Cutters gained after a three-run first inning. And after Kleven gave up a pair of runs in the top of the first inning, it was three huge runs Williamsport scored in the first. It was the fourth time in five games against Mahoning Valley that the Scrappers took a first-inning lead.
So when Stassi hit a Baltimore chop RBI single to right to score a run, it was the start of a big first inning. Harold Martinez followed, two batters later, with an RBI single to left on a 3-0 pitch, and Cody Asche hammered a first-pitch RBI single to right field to give Williamsport a 3-2 lead.
"I think that got the momentum back on our side," Morandini said. "We had good at-bats that inning. I thought we were aggressive with fastballs early in the count."
From that point on, Kleven was dialed in. He retired the side in order in the second inning and got a big double play ball in the sixth for a three-up, three-down inning. In between, he allowed a baserunner to reach second base in the third, two runners to reach in the fourth and two more in the fifth. But never once did he seem to lose control of the game.
Kleven threw 53 of his 92 pitches (58 percent) for strikes. He struck out five and allowed five hits. It was the second consecutive start in which Kleven pitched six innings and allowed two runs or less.
"I think he was a little amped up to start the game. But once he started to hit his spots and find his release point, he settled down and threw a gem," Stassi said. "That first inning was just a hiccup."
"He did a nice job of holding runners on. He held on to the ball and mixed it up," Morandini said. "He didn't give up multiple hits. He gave up a hit here and there, but after that first inning I thought he was in control."

Merger opponent says DOJ deal on airlines leaves consumers in the cold
WASHINGTON — The whoops of relief and victory from the airlines, the unions and creditors have already begun pouring in, now that the Department of Justice has agreed to settle its sweeping suit filed in federal court to stop American Airlines and US Airways from merging into the world's largest airline.
But is the deal good for the consumers, the same folks to whom the DOJ initially said the merger would "give the shaft?"
The American Antitrust Institute, a Washington-based think tank that argue for greater enforcement of the nation's antitrust laws, says the settlement is a terrible deal for consumers.
Airline economist Diana Moss, vice president of AAI, said nothing in the settlement suggests that the DOJ had second thoughts about its ability to win at trial. Instead, she said, "We think they were just getting significant political pressure to settle, and they did," Moss said.
Moss said their complaints about the settlement are numerous:
* The deal counts relies almost entirely on low-cost carriers to save the public from higher fares. There are just not enough of them, with sufficient networks, to apply real pressure on the top three airlines when it comes to fares, she said.
* Southwest Airlines is touted as a beneficiary of the settlement, and an example of how a low-cost carrier can use its strengthened position, post-settlement, to compete with the big three. But Southwest, she said, no longer is a low-cost carrier. Its prices mimic the fares from the larger airlines. "There is ample evidence that there is no longer any Southwest Effect," Moss said.
* "As predicted," she said, the remedy is almost entirely focused on DCA and La Guardia, where divestitures of 104 and 34 slots respectively, will be required. The other divestitures at airports across the country "are what you'd have to call a pittance," she said. "Two slots, really?"
* Some highly affected airports, including Charlotte and Phoenix, are left out of the settlement altogether.
* "Smaller cities are ignored." Knoxville, Tampa and a host of other cities where the merger could mean reduced options are simply left out of the deal, she said.
* Texas cities, other than some changes at Love Field, are entirely left out. She says it's likely they were left out because they have been included in a deal with Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who settled the suit earlier. In that case, she said, those cities lose out. Deals struck with state AG's, rather than with the DOJ, have historically been shown to be only temporarily effective, she said. She said Ohio's side deals in Continental-United merger have not protected Cleveland's airport.
* The divestitures required at Love Field are perverse, she said. If Southwest has a crack at those newly freed-up spots, it will only lead to more concentration by that airline at its home airport.

Alan Jackson
Let the record company suits chase after Nashville's next big thing. Alan Jackson found his country niche years ago, and he ain't straying. His latest album, his seventh (including last year's multiplatinum greatest-hits package), finds the Stetsoned singer tackling all the great country themes—lovin', leavin' and honky-tonkin'—with his usual smooth yet down-home style. The result may be his best record yet.
Jackson wrote or cowrote five of the album's 10 songs, including the irresistibly swingy "There Goes," about succumbing to the temptations of romance, and "Must've Had a Ball," a laughing morning-after musing sure to become a jukebox classic. Backed by plenty of fiddle and steel guitar, each cut is perfectly polished and radio-ready. Indeed, the infectious novelty song "Little Bitty," by veteran songwriter Tom T. Hall ("Harper Valley P.T.A."), has already been a hit on Billboard's country chart. Simple, heart-spun lyrics and stick-in-your-head melodies have made Jackson one of Nashville's best-loved and most successful performers. Smart Georgia boy that he is, Jackson knows enough to keep dancing with them that brung him. (Arista/Nashville)

Alaina Walker scored 16 points and took down nine rebounds, Katie Healy (Lancaster) added 14 points and seven boards, and the St. Bonaventure women's basketball team clamped down on defense for a 48-28 Atlantic 10 victory over Rhode Island on Wednesday before 367 at the Reilly Center.
The 28 points is the fewest allowed by the Bonnies (9-10, 2-2 Atlantic 10) in their Division I history, bettering the 32 they allowed URI in a 26-point victory last season. SBU has now won its last two games while the Rams (5-14, 0-4) have lost eight straight.
Before 1,133 in Alumni Arena, Ball State junior guard Brandy Woody scored a career-high 29 points to lift the Cardinals to a 69-55 victory over the University at Buffalo. Ball State improved to 7-11 overall and 4-1 in the Mid-American Conference while Buffalo fell to 5-12 overall and 3-2 in league action.
Freshman Mackenzie Loesing led UB with 18 points while sophomore Kristen Sharkey had 11 points and 14 rebounds.
Ball State ended the half with a 32-18 advantage. UB started the second half with a 9-2 run to cut Ball State's lead, and with 13:53 remaining the Bulls had made it a 37-35 game, but the Cardinals answered quickly with a 17-5 run.
Ball State shot only 29.6 percent for the game but made 79.5 percent (31 of 39) from the foul line. The Cardinals forced 20 UB turnovers, which they converted to 18 points. It included 15 steals from the error-prone Bulls.
Today's games
The Canisius and Niagara women's teams are on the road today facing Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference opponents.
The Golden Griffins will have an early wakeup for their 11 a.m. Kids' Day game against the Loyola Greyhounds at Reitz Arena in Baltimore. Canisius is 2-0 in Kids' Day games, winning over Siena at home, 65-62, on Jan. 4 and winning, 51-50 at Rider on Jan. 10.
After a 10-point loss to conference leader Marist, the Griffs bounced back with a 75-68 victory over Rider.
Niagara (8-9, 3-3) will play at Iona (9-8, 4-2) in a 7 p.m. game at the Hynes Center in New Rochelle. The Purple Eagles took a 71-51 loss to Marist on Sunday. Center Lauren Gatto (14.0 ppg, 6.3 rpg) has led Niagara in scoring in 11 of 15 games so far. Bench points have been important for NU in recent games. In their last three MAAC wins, the Niagara bench has outscored the opponents' subs, 93-18.

How to Relate to Someone Whose Experience Contradicts Yours
Reader Comments (15)
So Jenkins is quite the lady killer, eh? What are his methods?
Also, I'd clarify that I'm speaking metaphorically. Normally, I wouldn't make the distinction, but this is Jenkins we're talking about.
@Matthew "So Jenkins is quite the lady killer, eh? What are his methods?"
Being parasitistic enough as to refusing to be alone but unstable enough as to destroy every relationship he is in?
Convincing a person to be with you is way easier than convicing a person to stick with you, otherwise serial killing would be way harder.
3 marriages implies 3 courtships, implies multiple dates for Jenkins. Wait--did he marry the same woman 3 times? (There *is* precedent, and no, it's not me.)
I'm racking my brain for the ways in which Jenkins could convince three different persons to marry him.
He must have one hell of a pickup line. Something in the neighborhood of, "Say, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"
"Wait--did he marry the same woman 3 times?"
Not unless she had a new set of parents each time.
"3 marriages implies 3 courtships"
Or 3 trips to Las Vegas.
I treat respect like heroin. First hit is free, then you gotta pay for it.
"You have to earn respect"
"or you can just trade it straight across"
Belongs on posters in every school (and church, and bus, and subway, and street corner, and shopping mall...)
I love the last line. Perfect.
The women must marry Jenkins assuming he's a "fixer-upper" only to divorce him once they realize he's built on a disturbed, Indian burial ground (Indian immigrants are buried there) made with all the wrong materials and a termite problem that somehow weakened the foundation.
"You'd think they'd be grateful"
- that was awesome.
My mother loved her in-laws, who treated her like family right from the start.
My father, my brother, and I were spared the expirience of having to deal with my mother's family because they disowned her (for marrying a man who wasn't rich)
The only contact I ever got from most of them was through their lawyers when my maternal grandmother was dying; informing me that even if I was in her will, I wouldn't be entitled to any money or anything. I didn't mind as long as I would never have to deal with any of their clients again.
When the will was read, it turned out she had changed it on one of her lucid days to leave everything to the one nice orderly in the nursing home who always visited and treated her kindly. Since he hadn't known she had money (some of it stolen from her children) it was just because he was a decent guy.
I'm still laughing.
OH my lord, I just met a guy who physically and personally matches Jenkins except there's more gray in the beard and hair - what a complainer and total contrarian - I thought you made this character up - why hasn't ANYBODY harpooned and gutted this insane land cetacean?
Must have been mailorder wifes!
Don't know why he visited their parents though...
"It's also possible to trade it straight across."
YES! You're brilliant. But you probably already know that.

Under the instruction of their teacher, Jennifer Nicholas, seventh grade students at Girard Intermediate School took up the entire gymnasium on May 10 to demonstrate gravity and energy.
Teams of students used whatever materials they could find to build roller coasters that would take a ball bearing up and down at least two hills from a starting pipe of no more than 100 centimeters high. The object was to get the bearing through the entire device and out of the other end without it stopping somewhere in the middle.
''Students are judged on how they cooperate with one another, critical thinking and creativity,'' Nicholas said. ''All those things combined as well as making their roller coasters work.''

Tom McHenry, 13, puts the finishing touches on his roller coaster before demonstrating his project to the judges. Following guidelines assigned by their teacher, Jennifer Nicholas, students ran a ball bearing through the coaster tubes, up and down hills and back out while answering questions about energy.
Using everything from duct tape and wooden dowel rods to foam noodles, the students created coasters that pushed their ball bearing through twists and turns and loops and hills while they learned about energy and energy transformation.
''They are having so much fun, they don't even realize they are using everything they've learned,'' Nicholas said.
Junior and senior students and parent volunteers waded through the maze of roller coasters carrying clipboards and taking notes while the seventh-graders demonstrated their projects. The project was part of the students' final grades in science, Nicholas said.
Parents also helped by bringing in supplies the students could use, Nicholas said.
''The parents were wonderful,'' she said, ''and the kids are great too because they never give up.''

EU waters are already overfished. Why would we spend €1.6bn on new boats?
Photo credit: © Pew and Corey Arnold
July 4, 2013 // By: Griffin Carpenter
Recent progress on sustainable fishing is now in danger as MEPs vote next week on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) – the money used to implement the new Common Fisheries Policy.
One key amendment to the EMFF would allow for €0.24 billion annually - a total of €1.6 billion over seven years - to be spent on new vessel construction for certain fleets. Overcapacity is the prime driver of overfishing in the EU. If approved, these funds will set the industry back many years.
Our new briefing today highlights the massive scale of this potential €0.24 billion a year investment. Of the total EMFF pot this amendment represents one quarter of all available funds. If put towards measures to help restore fish stocks, the same subsidy amount could increase amount of funds for control and enforcement measures by 4.6 times, for data collection by 3.5 times, or by 2 times jointly.
The total potential cost is equivalent to the wages of 17% of EU fishers. Looking outside of fisheries for additional perspective, the total potential cost over seven years could buy over 525 million school lunches for pupils across Europe. It is clear that funds of this magnitude could have a tremendous amount of societal good if put to alternative uses.
EU fishing fleets are already suffering from the immediate financial effects of overfishing, but subsidies for new vessel construction would contribute to overcapacity and serve only to exacerbate the problem.
It is more fish, not vessel subsidies, which will support EU fisheries. Only by tackling overfishing can we end this vicious cycle.
Next week MEPs must vote against the amendment to fund new vessel construction and instead support funding plans that aid a steady transition towards restoring our fish stocks and a sustainable EU fishing industry. You can help us spread the word by sharing this blog, our briefing, or an infographic in one of five different European languages:
MEPs have made great progress towards fish stock restoration – earlier this year ministers made a commitment to end overfishing. They mustn't let this new amendment to EU subsidies work against that progress.

Lincoln Alcona got off to a quick start, leading 14-2 after the first quarter. Tawas Area played the tough the rest of the game, but that early lead would be too much for them to overcome.
Kendra Cole led Lincoln Alcona scoring 19 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Megan Quick added 11 points, and Karina Cole finished with 10.
"We had balanced scoring but we didn't take care of the ball very well," said Alcona coach Brad Cole. "Our size helped us control the boards tonight."

The report by Feldman et al in this issue of the Journal (see p 1389) further indicts trimethadione, of the oxazolidinedione class of drugs, as one of the most potent teratogenic agents yet recognized in man. More than 80% of reported conceptuses exposed to trimethadione in utero have either been spontaneously aborted or malformed at birth. The phenotype has been similar in affected individuals and has been noted in the offspring of women who received trimethadione as the only anticonvulsant medication during pregnancy; hence the fetal trimethadione syndrome designation seems appropriate. The dysmorphic facies with a Mephistophelian upward slant to the eyebrows and the aberrant auricles appear to be the most consistent and unusual features along with mild to moderate growth deficiency. The most serious consequence is mental deficiency and the most frequent major malformations are cleft lip and/or cleft palate and cardiac defects.

2.3 Records management in sound archives
Helen P Harrison
1. Some form of records management is essential to impose order upon records and make them manageable and accessible to future users of the archive, whether these users are researchers, browsers, those with a commercial concern to reuse the material or interested members of the general public.
2. Actually little of the material in a sound archive can be followed through from its creation to its ultimate preservation? The idea of records management before the material arrives in the archive is desirable, but seldom achievable.
Records management is concerned with the creation of records at the time when the relevant material is created, or at least with communicating to the creators the necessity for adequate documentation dealing with the identification, maintenance, restoration and use of the material, before the archive necessarily becomes associated with the material involved. Ideally the conventional archivist would like to be in a position to decide at the time a record was produced if it has archival value that the creator would ensure that the record was produced bearing in mind future archival requirements. In the case of sound recordings this would include ensuring that the proper technical standards were achieved in the recording for long term preservation, that the information elicited in an oral history interview was relevant to the programme as conceived, that appropriate related documentation was provided in the form of transcripts and background information, and so on. This is an almost unattainable ideal for many sound archivists. But it is possible in some instances, especially with programmes where the archivist has an active role, such as initiating the recording programme or cooperating with the creators to produce material of archival value. If it is possible in some instances then it should be a goal of the archivist to try to widen the possibilities and the occasions upon which he can influence the creation and documentation of the potentially archival record.
3. Should sound archives try to preserve complete collections or representative samples of particular subject coverage? It may be argued that popular music may be of ephemeral interest and only a representative sample should be kept. Certain genres, such as folk music, may once have been a despised section of the recorded output, but now it and ethnic music are studied all over the world.
The challenge to the appraiser is how to predict which of the ephemeral material of today will become either the research material of tomorrow or indeed remain ephemeral.
4. Archivists should participate in decisions about how records are stored before they come to the archives. There is a need to influence file organisation, access systems and storage media. These methods will either help or hinder the work of archival preservation. The archive may be in a position to influence the setting up of some systems and of suggesting the level of technical standards which should be achieved or the type of documentation required. Records which conform to these standards can then be transferred to the archive with much of the initial processing and preservation already paid for. This is management of the record at the time of creation or before it ever comes into the archive.
5. It must be remembered however that commercial manufacturers are just that - they do not consider or cater for archival needs. They record, experiment, entertain if you will, but not necessarily with the future in mind.
Commercial producers regarded their function as providing an opportunity for a wide audience to hear (and see) the world's entertainers and artists in the comparative comfort of home. This is especially true of recordings of musical works. Sound recordings tend to become a private or personal entertainment. They enable people (rather as video and television today) to listen and enjoy in the comfort of their own homes. Although in the early days of sound recordings, gramophone record societies conducted "public" performances and in some situations still do, it was much more likely that the recordings would be made available either for sale or for loan to listen to at home and in peace - without the distractions of one's neighbours in the concert hall. Therefore we do have to ask in appraising sound recordings for archive purposes just why and for what purpose we are preserving the material. Is it as an historical document, a cultural object or document, or as a record of fact, or even as a development in recording technique?
Archives may be in a reasonable position to keep up with the acquisition of current or recent material, but historical commercial recordings and the non-commercial recordings pose additional and serious problems.
6. Commercial record production began in the 1890s; thus a large number of recordings were made long before many of the national archives were established and began serious collection. This, in turn, meant that a very large number of early recordings did not survive. Most sound recordings were not primarily designed with preservation in mind, but to produce reasonable quality playback combined with low-cost manufacture. Hence the problems presented to the technician for restoration or re-recording.
7. Without adequate collections management and the intervention of people the repository of sound recordings itself would experience difficulties and it would become increasingly difficult to locate particular items or groups of items within a reasonable period. Herein lies another argument for selection. Unless holdings have been selected with reasonable care there is little or no point in spending time and money documenting, storing and preserving material which is not of archival value.
There is merit in acquiring as much material as possible in a particular field of interest, especially in the early stages of development of a collection, but once acquired it is bad practice to leave such materials in an unordered state. The archivist has a responsibility to the material itself as well as his 'user'. The material needs processing, conservation, and some form of information retrieval, however basic, should be imposed upon it as soon as possible after acquisition.
An extension of records management is to survey the current record, that is before it is ever offered to the archive for retention. The objective is to identify material which has archival value and to ensure that this material is identified, documented and preserved against the day when it is finally offered to the archive.
8. Audiovisual archives are now in a better position to influence and improve by working on standards and guidelines for adequate bibliographic systems as applied to archives, and of trying to achieve wider recognition of the value of control at an early stage, rather than waiting for the unidentified, often incomplete and degraded copy to arrive in the archive. This is not only a matter of self interest but could achieve an economy of labour and release the archivist to concentrate on the maintenance and preservation of the record and the provision of adequate research facilities and services.
8.1 The body of commercial recording can be treated in an entirely different way from that of other types of recording.
Commercial records - primarily of music, but sometimes of the spoken word - are made for a wide market and the originals or matrices can be controlled in an archival situation, whether by a national depository or by the production company itself. The matrix is rarely deposited in a separate or independent archive, usually only copies are deposited.
8.2 Broadcast materials are created for a particular purpose, and a system of appraisal or selection can later be applied to such materials. Creation of such materials as with many paper records, is for a contemporary or current purpose; the process of selection or appraisal is thus undertaken to determine value for future use, and research.
9 Sound recorded content, as has been noted, will also have an influence on collections policy. A discographer for example may wish to ensure that the discography and therefore the collection it is based upon represents all the available material, and also that the material listed will be preserved; hence the necessity for adequate collections management. A discographer or a discography compiler will need information about the location of the material and also, before publishing findings, some reassurance about the preservation of the material to be included and the durability or physical life of the recording medium used. In archives which initiate their own recordings the eventual retention of the documents can be envisaged and taken into account from creation onwards. Oral history is another area in which some measure of control from the time of creation can be achieved.
10 A few statistics may help to illustrate the problems of control. The number of sound archives is approximately 400, ranging from the large national archives to specialised subject archives holding but a few hundred items. This figure does not cover the numerous collections of oral history and private collections of discographers. The Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) based in North America, has nearly 2000 members, many of whom are private collectors, while the Oral History Society in the UK alone has over 450 members.
11 With regard to the recording industry very few countries issue more than 1,000 commercial LPs annually, although a number of countries issue LPs and many archivists argue that one or two copies of each commercially produced recording should be housed within the national archive, if one exists. The figures may become a little blurred when we consider that recordings which could be classified as 'national' are manufactured, abroad and the national archives in particular will have to maintain a watching brief on these activities to ensure that they acquire copies
When one considers non-commercial recording the figures ar even more difficult to acquire and the situation becomes
For example, the figures for commercially-produced recordings in 1982 in the USA, that is, recordings produce by American companies, were 2,600 long playing records and 2,800 '45s. In 1983 in the UK, 1,700 titles were issued in classical music and spoken word, of which between 200 and 500 titles were in the spoken word category. Some 12,000 titles of popular music were issued.
11.1 Such figures do not take account of broadcast materials. For example, the BBC through its national and regional networks and External Services produces at a conservative estimate, puts over more than 3,000 hours per week.
11.2 In addition there are the oral historians who are constantly collecting material for their research purposes, and it would be very difficult to estimate the amount of material which is generated under this heading.
11.3 Finally there is the material already in archival custody, much of which requires appraisal or reappraisal.
11.4 A brief mention of some of these collections will highlight the problems involved and the necessity for post accessioning selection and reappraisal to reduce and maintain collections in manageable proportions.
The National Sound Archive in the UK holds an estimated 1/2 million discs, tapes and cylinders. The holdings of the Library of Congress is even greater. Arkivet för Ljud och Bild (ALB) in Sweden has 1,100 cylinders, 80,000 discs and 8,000 tapes and cassettes. The US National Archives has 12,000 microgroove recordings, 40,000 radio transcriptions and 12,000 tapes. The Public Archives of Canada holds some 90,000 items. The National Sound Archive of Australia holds more than 1/2 million items, and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies, some 40,000 items. The University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) has several major collections; the Ethnomusic Sound archive, with 15,000 tapes, the oral history collection 3,000 tapes, and the music library with 18,000 discs. Of the radio archives, Norsk Riksrasting in Norway holds 30,000 tapes and discs in the programarkivet. NOS, in Hilversum, Netherlands, holds 150,000 discs and 50,000 tapes. The Voice of Kenya has 10000 electric discs, 200,000 microgroove and 30,000 tapes.
Such holdings grow exponentially at an annual rate.
Specialized subject collections may also contain recorded material or the archivist may have conducted interviews which have been edited for public access purposes, but the unedited material has its own value.
12 Much of the material being saved is not of intrinsic archival value. The number of extant wax cylinders, Philips and Miller recordings, and wire recordings is not great, and they are also concentrated in a few locations. The situation is different for sound recordings than for film, where there is considerable scope for retaining old equipment in order to replay the film in its original form and also to transfer volatile film to safety stock. The number of archival sound recordings on unusual formats will only justify the retention of comparatively few items of old playback equipment and the building of one-off machines for restoration of the sound content to acceptable listening levels.
13 The documentation of sound recordings includes scripts, transcripts, synopses, summaries, disc labels and gramophone record sleeves. In addition, there may be interviewing questions, project outlines, and outlines of interviewing procedures, related stills, especially in oral history and even artefacts. Newspaper clippings can be used to refer to the material in radio archives, giving more detail of daily events and news broadcasts. Related textual material should be surveyed, and the merit of selecting and appraising material based on textual material which refers to recorded sound materials that have been destroyed, should also be considered, (eg. the use of Hansard in the UK in Parliamentary archives).
13.1 Related documentation should not be used as a substitute for the material itself, indeed it cannot be used as a substitute for some recordings such as musical works. In some circumstances it may stand instead of the original recording, either because the original recording has been lost; because it was too lengthy for the archivist to contemplate maintaining and retaining in the archive; or, in fact, was so ephemeral, so much a waste of recording material, that it did not even warrant retention.
13.2 Documentation of oral history recordings should indicate the reasons for the interviews having been conducted in the first place - that is, why this material was recorded. This may have been to fill a particular gap in the collection or to capture a particular informant's information about a person or event before the inevitable happens. This is sometimes referred to as "active archival collection", and the oral historian and ethnologists in sound archives are prime examples of this type of activity.
13.3 The appraisal of the technical documentation of why a recording was restored, of what rerecording process was employed, and of the condition of the original is also an essential part of the appraisal process and information of this type should be kept and accessioned with the recordings.

Glenn Hughes isn't called "The Voice of Rock" for nothing. Throughout his career, his one-of-a-kind howling rock vocals have cut through the wall-of-guitar din of such legendary bands as Deep Purple, Trapeze and Black Sabbath.
After spending years as a solo artist, creating albums that mixed his traditional rock style with the soul music grooves he loved in his youth, singer-bassist Hughes got back into the band thing in 2009 by forming supergroup Black Country Communion (BCC) with popular blues guitarist Joe Bonamossa, drummer Jason Bonham (who has drummed with his late father John's old band Led Zeppelin) and former Dream Theater keyboardist Derek Sherinian.
When BCC dissolved in 2013, Hughes and Bonham carried on, forming a new trio, California Breed, with now-23-year-old guitarist Andrew Watt. The band's self-titled debut album was released in May 2014, and it's a scorcher. Leaving behind BCC's bluesier tendencies, California Breed finds Hughes and Bonham in full Zeppelin mode, with Hughes' stronger-than-ever vocals careening over Watt's thick Jimmy Page-esque riffs and Bonham evoking his father with a mighty stomp and perfect feel. The songs they wrote together are great, too—not a clunker in the bunch.
When this interview was conducted, Hughes was anticipating the release of the California Breed CD and looking forward to playing live with the new band. It was recently announced that, at least for California Breed's upcoming live shows, Bonham will be replaced by former Queens of the Stone Age drummer Joey Castillo.
Read on for Hughes' insights on the new group and album, the dissolution of BCC, recording techniques, and the perspective that comes with the hard life of a rocker.
Glenn Hughes: Top of the morning to you, mate.
Howard Whitman: Yes, same to you sir.
Hughes: Where are you, on the east or the west?
Whitman: I'm on the east coast—in Philadelphia.
Hughes: How lovely is that?
Whitman: It's kind of grim and gray today.
Hughes: One of my great places we played all those years ago, before you were born, in Deep Purple …
Whitman: (laughs) I was with you in those days!
Hughes: Listen, man, I always assume I'm talking to someone younger.
Whitman: I wish! No, I remember listening to Burn when it was new…
Hughes: Good, man.
Whitman: … and thinking what a wild and amazing voice you had, even then.
Hughes: You know, bro, there's a lot of stuff we need to talk about. We'll talk about the voice, so just fire away.
Whitman: OK, let's talk about the new album. I was wondering about how you made the transition out of Black Country Communion—how that came to a close and you transitioned to this new band with Jason Bonham and your awesome new guitarist Andrew Watt?
Hughes: Well, let's talk about where I've been the last 20 years. Obviously, if you've heard about my autobiography, I've had a really hell of a time on drugs, bla bla bla bla bla. So 20-odd years ago, I came back from that. The last 20-something years, I've been making albums and I've a relationship with Chad (Smith) and John (Frusciante) from the (Red Hot Chili) Peppers and stuff like that and I've been working. But let's just say that I really love R&B and soul and rock and all the things. So when I formed Black Country with Joe, I had to take a look at, "Where do we go with this?" So Joe and I figured we were going to make a rock band. So when I put my hat firmly back on in the rock genre, I just thought, "Would the fans and critics appreciate it?", because I'm really into coming back as a rocker. And everybody said, "Where've you been? We've been waiting for you." Because actually, Howard, I'm not black. I'm actually white. I was born in the West Midlands. You know my background from Purple and stuff— I made my grace and my name from rock. So when Black Country broke up, we signified with the three albums and one DVD, we did 41 shows. I'm not really complaining that much, but I was suddenly back playing rock music to rock fans. So when Black Country disbanded, shortly after that Jason and I decided we were going to move on, not with Black Country part 2, not with any of the guitar player people you know and I know, but let's do something new. Let's do something without a keyboard player—something I've been wanting to do for years and years. Let's go back to it organically. Let's make it about a guitar, a bass, drums and a vocal. As Zeppelin were a trio with Robert, The Who were a trio with Roger, Free were a trio with Paul—it's basically trios, for me, a key element of my roots. So we didn't know who we were going to ask to join us, but the first guy that came up was Andrew Watt, who was introduced to me by my friend Julian Lennon in L.A. the day before the Grammys last year. Julian introduced Andrew and I found him to be a really smart young boy from New York. He looks a lot younger than his 22 years, but he had a vibe to him, and he spoke about his love for certain people I liked. He doesn't really remember the 70s and 80s. He grew up listening to Jimmy Page. His father had him listening to Zeppelin when he was five. Andrew sounded to me, when I heard his music, he sounded to me like he knew about Arthur Lee and Love and maybe Zeppelin but he didn't know about the Van Halens and the 80s stuff and the 70s stuff. It was more late 60s or grunge or Pearl Jam or (Alice in Chains' Jerry) Cantrell. Friends of mine, all these people are dear friends of mine. He just sounded to me like—"man, send me some music"—and I heard his music and I'm going "Kid can write, kid can play, but the right hand …" I've always been about the right hand. Keith (Richards)'s got a great right hand. Pete Townshend, right-handed. Angus Young, right-handed. Not all the hammer-ons and all that trickery, which is good if you like that kind of stuff. I'm strictly a 60s kind of guy. So here we've got this new kid. Andrew came to my home and we wrote "Chemical Rain," track 3, and "Solo," which is a bonus track … I don't know if you heard that one?
Whitman: I just got a download of the CD this morning and listened to a little bit of it, but I'm not sure if I heard that one yet.
Hughes: Check it out, you have got to check it out … when you're writing this piece, the first thing that Andrew and I wrote completely in its entirety was "Chemical Rain," so when you hear it you'll go, "So that's the first thing they wrote," and that would be a nice springboard for the reader of this piece to understand where we were coming from. So we wrote "Chemical Rain" and I called Jason, and Jason was actually in L.A. that week and we went in and cut "Chemical Rain" and" Solo" demos, and it sounded fucking huge. And also, I want to tell you that we didn't want keyboards because we didn't want to sound like Black Country. I wanted it … although I am the singer of Black Country and California Breed, we wanted it to sound even more British than Black Country I guess. So here we've got this young kid now, and were we going to continue with him? So we decided we would get together every month either at my place or at Jason's place in Florida, and we did it last year. We kept it quiet, because when you're working with an unknown, when you've got two people who've got names—me and Jason—and you've got a new kid, you can't really go on the Internet and start talking about it. I don't really read comments, but people get freaked out. We kept it quiet successfully, because I've got a big mouth and so does Jason. So we kept it quiet and we went to Nashville with Dave Cobb and we made the album. And now you're about to listen to it, and I'd rather have you tell me later … I've got to tell you, Howard, that I am 62, I've been doing this for bloody ever, and there are moments, everybody, you've had moments, we've all had moments in our lives—that was a great moment, that was a bad moment—this album for me is a good moment. It's a collaborative thing. With Black Country, I was the main writer—I couldn't get the guys to write with me! It's not like I wanted to write alone. When I formed this band, I wanted everybody to collaborate. I wanted everybody to throw something into it—I'll finish your piece, you finish mine, let's all finish this together. I wanted it to be a band. And it's a real, real band. We talk, we walk, we eat breakfast … I just want you to listen to the album, and you need to know, this is frightfully important: I've been doing this for 45 years. Dave Cobb said to Andrew and Jason, "Why don't you go out there and record? And Glenn, do you have lyrics?" Yeah. "Do you have melodies?" "I do." "Just go sing, while the guys are tracking. You can overdub the bass later." So I did that, and I overdubbed the bass. And the next morning I said, "I'm going to sing." He said, "You've sung the album." I said, "Excuse me?" He didn't trick me but he was recording everything I sang. He recorded every song twice, so he comped the vocals. So he said, "I'm going to play you what you've sung. I did this last night, and I'm going to play you what appears to me to be your vocal on the album." And it's the first time ever that I've done a live vocal. And again, drums completely—because a lot of drum things are trickery—completely live drums, completely live guitar. What Dave Cobb brought to this is an element of sheer energy, spontaneity … He tried to get me to sing a song (without lyrics) … just for the hell of it. What I'm trying to get at, Howard, is it's the most live album I've ever made—we've ever made—in the studio.
Whitman: You can really hear the energy.
Hughes: It's got a vitality, and I don't think—you tell me later—I don't think you can hear three generations of musicians here.
Whitman: It just sounds very solid, a very unified band, and it sounds like you've been together for a while.
Hughes: I mean, it sounds to me like at least we've been in a room playing … it sounds like we've been touring this thing, which is why I said last year was vitally important. I don't call it rehearsal or writing—I call it playing. I don't care if it's in front of 10,000 people or two people. I want to play, and the fact of it is we were so into the writing of this album, you can hear how vital it was for us to come out with this thing. It smacks of the energy, and, almost, it's got a punk rock vibe to it in places. It's just, to me, new and vibrant.
Whitman: So you're saying that the writing, a lot of that was done together as a band, rather than coming in with your own pieces?
Hughes: I'll tell you how it was done. This is exactly how it was done: I write all the time. So does Andrew—young guy. But even when I was 20, I was in Deep Purple, I was writing. Kids these days are writing when they're 12. So Andrew was writing a lot, he's a very good writer. I wrote half a dozen songs, would send them to Andrew, and he'd suggest, "Well, can I add something there?" You know, it took me five seconds and I went, "Yeah, yeah, sure. Go for it." I just thought it was important to have a collaborative effort here. Then I finished some of his things, and then Jason had finished some of our stuff. For me, collaborative efforts seem to last longer. It's important. Jason's really good, like his father—I was privileged to see John (Bonham) rehearse with Zeppelin, and John's role in Zeppelin is just like Jason's in this. John was an amazing arranger. His son Jason is as well. And so get Cobb in the mix, who is, for me, in my opinion, he's the greatest producer we have right now for rock music on the planet. He's an absolutely outstanding producer.
Whitman: Sounds like he did a great job.
Hughes: He did a great job, man, because that's live. There's no trickery there. There's no Pro Tools—this is all onto two-inch tape on a board like Zeppelin used to use. All of the equipment is from the 60s—the pedals, the guitars—everything. Look, bro, I am fucking retro. I'm fucking born in 1951. I mean, that is me. I never was a Pro Tools guy. When Chad (Smith) was working with me, over the last 10 years, everything I've done with Chad was onto two-inch tape. I just love that thing, analog.
Whitman: Are you going to put out vinyl of this?
Hughes: Yeah, absolutely. Abso-fucking-lutely.
Whitman: It was recorded on analog, it should be put out on analog, right?
Hughes: The album comes out May 19, I think by like, early July, it will be out on vinyl. This is what I was told last week. I wasn't complaining about it. I wanted to make sure we were coming out on vinyl.
Whitman: The album has cool cover art too, and the wonderful thing about vinyl coming back is that we're getting album covers again.
Hughes: Yeah, man. I don't really want to talk too much about Black Country, but Black Country to me was a really significant band because it's where Jason and I were born in England. Black Country is like the middle of England, where Robert (Plant) and Bonzo and myself and Jason and the guys in (Black) Sabbath were from … that kind of England, industrial. And California Breed is like, wow, it's still rock but different. I just wanted to be perceived differently. Black Country is all dark hues and black and smoke and crows, and this shit is palm trees and fuckin' purples and magentas.
Whitman: It is a little brighter, yeah.
Hughes: Look, you know as well as I do—you've been doing this for a while—a fucking name, a good graphic, a good logo, is uber-ly important. And this band needed a really good, vibrant essence about this—the graphics, the logo, the vibe. We're really sort of trying … not trying, we want to be exactly who we feel we are. We don't want to be like anybody else. Jason and I have got our own thing, and Andrew now is getting his own thing. It's like, now I think I've found my notch in this industry. I know exactly what I'm supposed to be doing on a daily basis. And the music was just flowing, the music has continually flowed. I'm just really happy with the way this turned out.
(Note: At this point, the call was cut off, and I took some more time to listen to the California Breed download. Then Glenn called back.—HW)
Whitman: So I assume you'll be doing some live shows?
Hughes: Yeah man, our agent is booking Europe mid-September through October, but it appears now we've been asked to play in America the same period. So the good news is that we're being hit with all kinds of requests, but the (other) good news is that we are starting the tour in September, whether it's Europe or the USA. Things are moving. We plan on having a whole calendar of shows for this band. So the good news is that the people will see this band live. It means so much to me, Howard, to bring this to the stage. I am a live singer and that's great.
Whitman: So it's just going to be the three of you, right? No extra players?
Hughes: It's going to be just the three of us, man. If you know anything about me from before Deep Purple, I was in a band called Trapeze, and we toured America for three years and we started out playing to 10 people and we ended up playing to 5,000 every night. My roots, Glenn Hughes' roots before Deep Purple, was in a trio. That's where I excel the most, because—one thing about me, I love the groove, I love the holes. When Jason overplays, we underplay. It's something that really means something to me. When you've got a keyboard in there, sometimes it makes it different and I wanted this band to be completely different to the last one I was in.
Whitman: And it is. But it just seems very full anyway—I didn't miss the keyboards.
Hughes: It's full. And I've got the usage of many different avenues onstage. Because, like I said, there's a lot of holes in this music, there's a deeper groove in this music to the last band. I have got to be honest with you, man—I was in a band called Deep Purple with Jon Lord and I played with Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman and it's a dying breed—no disrespect to Jon—it's like, rock music for me, honestly, is about guitar, bass and drums. I don't want to upset anybody that's reading this who are keyboard players. But if I start writing on a keyboard, it's going to change dynamically and drastically; the song will not be what it is. And I have written songs on keyboards that have been on my solo albums that have taken a left turn. I wanted this to be very urgent and dirty and I just want Les Pauls and SGs and I want it to be nasty.
Whitman: By the way—I listened to "Chemical Rain" after we got cut off and it's huge. What a powerful track.
Hughes: Can you believe that's the first song we wrote?
Whitman: Right out of the gate, you guys had it. It's phenomenal.
Hughes: That fucking tempo (sings riff) … it's so fucking nasty!
Whitman: It's Zeppelin-y, but it's also got your R&B feel.
Hughes: Yeah. Isn't that cool?
Whitman: I think it's tremendous.
Hughes: We're in love with this band. I've been doing this for 45 years, and I've sold millions of albums, I've done it all. I had a fucking heart attack, I've fucking been shot, pistol-whipped, stabbed … and now I'm fucking here, talking to you, breathing on my own on the right side of the grass, with this beautiful new band, and I'm so happy.

In 2002, Yale received a letter from Paula Nirschel, the founder of the Initiative to Educate Afghan Women. The purpose of the organization, begun in that year, was to match young women in post-Taliban Afghanistan to U.S. colleges, where they could pursue a degree. Ms. Nirschel asked Yale if it wanted to award a spot in its next entering class to an Afghan woman. Yale declined.
Yale was not alone. Of the more than 2,000 schools contacted by Mrs. Nirschel, only three signed up right away: Roger Williams University in Rhode Island, Notre Dame College in New Hampshire and the University of Montana, Missoula. Four years later, the program enrolls 20 students at 10 universities...
