"Christopher Rountree conducted with elegant clarity."Corinna da Fonesca-Wollheim
"Christopher Rountree, wild Up's Artistic Director conducted with infectious enthusiasm… It was magnificent."Mark Swed
"Searing. Penetrating. Thrilling."Fred Child
"All the performances, led by Rountree, were exceptional, the ensemble turning on an astonishing stylistic dime. This group really has come a long way — technically, intellectually, emotionally and technologically. . . . on Saturday night, the future of classical music – of all music – seemed in the right new hands."Mark Swed
We see Lady Macbeth in a dozen crooning silhouettes washing blood out of rags in a bathroom; Stravinsky pouring out of an abandoned warehouse; a violinist cutting himself out of duct tape with a razor as his violin sits gathering feedback; and a lost John Adams suite at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Conductor and composer Christopher Rountree is standing at the intersection of classical music, new music, performance art and pop.
Rountree, 32, is the founder, conductor and creative director of the pathbreaking L.A. chamber orchestra wild Up. The group has been called "Searing. Penetrating. And Thrilling" by NPR's Performance Today and named "Best Classical Music of 2015" by the New York Times. wild Up started in 2010 with no funding and no musicians, driven only by Rountree's vision of a world-class orchestra that creates visceral, provocative experiences that are unmoored from classical traditions.
Whether he's conducting, composing or curating a program, Rountree's approach – with its "infectious enthusiasm" (L.A. Times) and "elegant clarity" (New York Times) – is united by extremely high energy and a deeply engaged relationship between a score, musicians and audience.
"For most people, programming and conducting are about restraint, intellect. I want to get rid of restraint: I want to tear the thing's guts out. I want to go all the way there," Rountree says. "I want to empower musicians. I want to energize an audience. It's not that I'm a 'conduit for the score' – everyone in the hall is a part of a circuit that connects the conductor, the musicians, the score and the listeners. A concert shouldn't leave people when people leave the concert hall."
If there is a dam separating establishment classical music from more adventurous forms, Rountree finds himself spilling over both sides – conducting Opera Omaha here, and writing an experimental theater work for 12 singers singing Haydn backwards in the Philadelphia Museum of Art there.
This year, Rountree makes his Chicago Symphony, LA Opera and Atlanta Opera debuts, returns to the Music Academy of the West and twice to the San Francisco Symphony's SoundBox series, conducts the Interlochen World Youth Orchestra on the New York Philharmonic's 2016 Biennial, joins Jennifer Koh and Shai Wosner with wild Up at the Laguna Beach Music Festival, and conducts Diavolo's new show "L'Espace du Temps: Glass, Adams, and Salonen." As a composer, his recent premieres and commissions include a new piece for The Crossing at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a re-orchestration of Esa-Pekka Salonen's Foreign Bodies, a choral work for Bjork's choir Graduale Nobili in Reykjavik, Iceland, and two new pieces for Jennifer Koh: a short theater piece on the New York Philharmonic's Biennial, and a large scale concerto co-commissioned by the Los Angeles Philharmonic for Jenny and wild Up.
Last year, Rountree founded an education intensive with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, continued an education partnership at the Colburn School, and taught "Creativity and Consciousness" at Bard College's Longy School. He joined the production company Chromatic, conducted Opera Omaha performing John Adams' "A Flowering Tree," debuted on the San Francisco Symphony's SoundBox series, and started a three-year stint as guest conductor of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra.
With his eclectic style and resume, he's been tapped to curate and create events for contemporary art institutions including the Getty Museum, MCA Denver, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and UCLA's Hammer Museum, where a long-running wild Up residency brought the group to national prominence.
Through it all, Rountree is guided by his vision of a more engaging classical music culture that blows up the old boxes.
"I don't have enough tattoos to be the badboy provocateur of classical music," Rountree jokes. "But is the goal to dismantle the artform and build something new – something bursting with life, contemporary relevance, and deep mindfulness? That is exactly what we're doing."
The performances all evening were impressive both technically and for their unabashed spirit. Rountree punches out rhythms as if they were going out of style. He emphasizes outsize emotions. He could probably get an audience to dance to the slowest movement Shostakovich ever wrote.Mark Swed

Caen, France – Canadian Olympian David Marcus of Campbellville, ON, riding Chrevi's Capital placed 34th individually at the 2014 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Normandy, France.
In order to accommodate 100 competitors representing 31 countries in the dressage portion of World Equestrian Games competition, the opening phase of Grand Prix was held over two days on Aug. 25 and 26. Marcus and Chrevi's Capital competed in wet conditions on opening day, earning a score of 70.357% for 12th place in the provisional standings. At the conclusion of Grand Prix competition on Tuesday, Marcus and Chrevi's Capital finished 34th overall in the final standings.
"It's been a long road to get here and, for me, the World Equestrian Games has been an amazing experience," said Marcus. "Unfortunately, my 34th place finish won't get me through to the next round, but I couldn't be happier or more proud of my horse, my team and my ride."
The top 30 riders following the Grand Prix move forward to the Grand Prix Special on Wednesday.
With his 34th place finish, Marcus came very close to making the cut.
As a team, Canada finished in ninth place with 211.714 points. Joining Marcus on the Canadian Dressage Team was Megan Lane of Loretto, ON, riding Caravella; Karen Pavicic of Surrey, BC, riding Don Daiquiri; and Belinda Trussell of Stouffville, ON, riding Anton.
Germany won Team Gold with a total of 241.700, followed by Great Britain for Silver with 231.343. The Netherlands took the Bronze Medal with 227.400.
Chrevi's Capital will now enjoy a well-deserved rest while Marcus turns his attention to his second Grand Prix mount, Don Kontes. Marcus and the 14-year-old Swedish Warmblood gelding have been invited to the inaugural Central Park Horse Show, presented by Rolex, to be held in the heart of New York City from Sept, 18 to 21.
Marcus made his Olympic debut at the 2012 London Olympic Games, and, in 2013, won the North American World Cup League

Purpose: To address the growing shortage of rural physicians, several medical schools have developed rural training experiences for their students. However, little is known about the educational impact of these experiences. Thus, the authors conducted a critical review of North American studies examining medical student outcomes associated with rural training experiences.
Method: A comprehensive search strategy was used to identify studies about undergraduate medical education in a rural setting, searching PubMed from 1966 to June 2009. The researchers evaluated titles and abstracts to identify publications that appeared to report measures associated with undergraduate medical school rural training experience. Only those studies with a measurable outcome such as career choice, practice location, clinical competency, and student satisfaction were analyzed.
Results: The review identified a total of 72 studies. Most were single-cohort studies or cohort studies with control groups, with career choice and practice location the most commonly reported measure. The majority reported that rural experiences influenced students toward primary care specialties and to consider rural practice. Studies using self-report found that students generally valued the experience and had a high degree of satisfaction.
Conclusions: This review shows that placement in rural settings is a positive learning experience that students and preceptors value. Although the evidence supports that these rotations influence practice site and career choice, it is not clear whether they reinforce preexisting interest or have the ability to motivate previously uninterested students to consider careers in primary care or rural medicine.
Despite an increasing number of physicians graduating from medical school, a shortage of rural physicians persists. Currently, while 20% of Americans live in rural areas, only 9% of the nation's physicians practice there,1 resulting in poor access to health care for millions of rural Americans. Similar disparities for rural residents also exist in Canada and other countries around the world. In 2005, less than 4% of U.S. and Canadian medical school graduates expressed an interest in rural or small-town practice,2 and experts project that this shortage will likely increase in the near future.3 Although several reasons exist for why so few graduates choose to practice in rural communities, one explanation may be the "lack of contact with rural communities, people and practitioners."4 As a result, many medical schools employ the strategy of offering medical students opportunities to spend time in rural settings as part of their educational experience.5 By placing medical students in rural settings and exposing them to rural physician role models, educators and policy makers believe more students will choose careers as rural health care providers.
Even though the rationale for placing students in these settings intuitively makes sense, little is known about the outcomes and educational impact of undergraduate training in rural settings. Rural training experiences likely differ from the typical academic medical student training experiences and may offer unique opportunities that positively affect a student's education. For example, students may face less competition from other learners, encounter greater opportunities to evaluate patients at earlier stages of disease, and play a more significant role in the evaluation and treatment of patients. On the other hand, rural physicians may be less experienced teachers, and the rotations may be less structured, perhaps adversely affecting a student's education. A study by Baker et al6 in 2003 found that rural general practitioner preceptors "indicated both a need and a desire for educational skills development."
We thus sought to evaluate the effect of rural training experiences on undergraduate medical education by reviewing the literature for studies that examined outcomes associated with rural training experiences. Specifically, the goal of this review is to identify published studies with objective measures such as student performance, career choice, student perceptions of the training, and how rural learning opportunities might differ from a more traditional academic setting. By examining the current literature, we sought to evaluate the impact of rural training on a student's education and to suggest directions for future research.
We used a comprehensive search strategy to identify published studies about undergraduate medical education in a rural setting. The authors conducted a PubMed search from 1966 to June 2009 using the following search terms: (1) "education, medical, undergraduate," "education, medical," "students, medical," and "schools, medicine," (2) "preceptorship," "mentors," "clinical clerkship," "curriculum," "teaching," and "hospitals, teaching," and (3) "rural population," "rural health services," "hospitals, rural," "rural health," "medically underserved area," and "health services accessibility." To limit the search to North America, a final cross-match was applied: "North America," "Canada," and "United States." The search was limited to journals found in Index Medicus and articles written in English. The search retrieved 1,222 articles.
We then evaluated the titles and abstracts to identify those publications that might be relevant to the study. Because our focus was on medical student training, those articles discussing graduate medical education, continuing medical education, physicians in practice, or other fields such as nursing were eliminated. After applying the criteria, 149 studies remained. In addition, two authors (F.A.B., M.S.L.) reviewed the references cited in the 149 publications and identified another 164 articles not previously retrieved from the original search. Together, this yielded a total of 313 prospective publications about undergraduate medical education associated with some type of rural experience.
Next, we reviewed abstracts to exclude commentaries, opinion pieces, or letters to the editor and to identify studies that measured an outcome associated with medical student training experiences. Examples of measurable outcomes included clerkship experiences, such as types and numbers of patients seen, and objective measures such as United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores. Those articles without at least one clearly identifiable objective measure were excluded. Examples of articles eliminated included those that gave only a description of the rotation, or thought pieces that reflected an author's opinion rather than a measurable outcome. For example, a study with a documented career outcome measure such as the percentage of students choosing a primary care specialty was included, whereas an article where the authors only speculated on the influence of a rural rotation on career choice was excluded. If an article contained both speculation and a measured outcome, or outcomes related to medical students and an outcome associated with another type of student, only the relevant portion was included in the analysis. Figure 1 provides a summary of our selection methodology.
We then analyzed each study in its entirety to identify the following: the number and type of participants (sample size), the study setting, the study design, the source of data, the outcome(s) measures, and the results of each measured outcome. If a study included multiple outcomes, all those results related to medical students in a rural setting were included.
We also assessed the relative strength of the studies based on study design, sample size, and measure and assigned a quality assessment score for each study. Study design was rated from one point for a single cohort to three points for a randomized control. Cohort studies with a control group received an intermediate score of two points. Studies with a sample size fewer than 20 participants received one point, 21 to 50 participants received two points, and those with greater than 50 participants received three points. Outcome measures were rated on a two-point scale: one point for subjective measures such as student perception and two points for objective measures such as USMLE scores. Thus, when scores from all three components were added together, the quality assessment scores could range from a low of 3 to a high of 8.
After we reviewed each of the 313 studies and applied our inclusion criteria, 72 studies remained. Supplemental Digital Table 1 (http://links.lww.com/ACADMED/A35) summarizes the publications, and the references for those studies can be found in the Supplemental Digital Reference List at http://links.lww.com/ACADMED/A36. Although most of the studies examined medical students (54%) still in medical school, some studies surveyed graduates to retrospectively evaluate their rural medical school experiences (31%). Other sources included data collected from individuals such as preceptors, clinic directors, and practicing physicians (18%), data from alumni files, state licensure Web sites, test score performances, and the AMA Masterfile. One study was based on a survey from 126 medical schools.7 Three studies of the 72 involved more than one participant group.8–10 The studies varied widely in the number of subjects, ranging from as few as 21 students to over 1,400 medical students and, for those examining graduates, from 47 graduates to 3,729 graduates.
Most of the studies were either single-cohort studies or cohort studies with control groups. Overall, the quality assessment of the studies ranged from 3 to 8, with a single study scoring a 3 because it did not specify sample size and source of data. Only two studies scored the maximum of 8. The most common score was a 6 (32 studies, 44%). The distribution was relatively even for studies scoring 5 (16 studies, 22%) and 7 (18 studies, 5%). The main reasons so many studies failed to rate higher in quality were that few were randomized controlled studies and most relied on subjective outcome measures such as self-ratings.
The most commonly studied outcome was career choice. Out of the 72 studies, 37 (51%) listed career choice as the reported outcome measurement. Of these, the vast majority (89%) reported an association between a rural training experience and choosing a career in a primary care specialty such as family medicine. Practice location was the second most common outcome measurement. With 22 (31%) of the 72 studies reporting on practice location, most studies revealed that student experiences in a rural setting predicted future employment. In general, medical students completing rural rotations were three times more likely to practice in a rural community compared with the national average.11
Another outcome measurement in 17 (24%) of the studies was grades or scores such as USMLE score12,13 or performance in clinical exams using standardized patients.14,15 National Board Step 1 and Step 2 scores were discussed in several of the studies. Some detected no significant differences in scores between students with rural training experiences compared with those without a rural experience,8,16 one study showed rural students scoring better on the USMLE exam,13 and two studies showed poorer Step 1 scores for rural students compared with a control group and better Step 2 scores.17,18
Skill or competency was stated as an outcome measurement in 13 (18%) of the studies. Students in self-report studies felt that their skills significantly increased in areas such as chronic disease management and ability to handle acute problems, with the largest gain in understanding health systems and the community during their rotation in a rural primary care clinic.19 Studies examining clinical encounters reported that students placed in rural settings saw more patients and generally had more opportunities for procedures than those in a comparable nonrural setting.20–23
Eight studies (11%) examined student satisfaction. Overall, students expressed satisfaction with the rural exposure to community providers.24–27 Closely related to student satisfaction is the perceived subjective value of the rural experience, which was measured in six (8%) studies. Students appreciated the opportunity to function as junior partners during their rural training experience.10,28
Rural retention was discussed in only four (6%) of the studies. One study that surveyed over 200 primary care physicians found no difference in rural retention between those who completed rural rotations as medical students or during residency and those who did not complete rural rotations.20 Another study found that graduates who had a rural clerkship were more likely to remain in a rural practice longer.2
Based on the premise that placing an undergraduate medical student in a rural setting might lead to more physicians choosing careers in rural medicine, many medical schools offer students rural-based educational opportunities. Although these experiences could potentially enrich learning by exposing students to an alternative setting, they could also compromise learning or even discourage a student from rural practice. To explore the impact of these educational experiences, we reviewed the published literature for articles reporting measurable outcomes associated with undergraduate rural training experiences.
The most commonly studied outcome was career choice and practice location. Because educators frequently develop these experiences with the intent to increase the number of primary care physicians and rural-based practitioners, it is not surprising that these are the most commonly researched outcomes. An important and reassuring finding is that a majority of studies showed that rural experiences did positively influence students to consider a primary care specialty and to either consider or choose rural practice. These findings are consistent with a recent systematic review of comprehensive medical school programs designed with extensive rural training experiences29 which reported that all these programs produced an increase in rural physician supply. One potential concern about these studies examining career choice and practice location is that students typically were not randomized to either a rural or nonrural experience. Usually, only those students with an interest in rural medicine were placed at a rural site, making it difficult to distinguish whether these programs only reinforce preexisting interest or whether they might influence someone to actually consider a rural practice who might otherwise not have taken this option into account.
An important question about rural training experiences is their impact on a student's acquisition of the skills, knowledge, and attitudes expected of a graduate physician. Although some believe a rural setting might benefit trainees by offering a greater opportunity to see a wider array of patients and experience more continuity of care with less competition from other learners,30,31 others have expressed concern that students at rural sites might encounter a less academic environment that could compromise their clinical maturation.25,32 A key finding of our review is that students in rural rotations seem to do as well as, and often better than, their urban counterparts. In those studies that used objective measures such as exam scores, USMLE scores, or performance on clinical skills testing, students with rural experiences generally did equally as well or better than their counterparts. Bianchi and colleagues14 found that students with rural experiences had higher clinical exam scores, whereas Power and colleagues15 found that rural students did equally well on OSCE stations using primary care problems but slightly worse on stations assessing specific content taught in traditional clerkship curricula. Although a 1983 study33 showed slightly lower grades and NBME scores for rural program students, more recent studies showed either no difference on test scores8,17 or found lower USMLE Step 1 scores for rural students but higher USMLE Step 2 scores.19
Studies using student perceptions and self-ratings of the experience as their data source generally found that students reported high satisfaction with their clinical experience and significant improvement in their clinical skills. Faculty preceptors likewise reported positively about the students and the rural experience. Finally, those studies reporting on patient volume generally reported that rural medical students saw more patients and had an opportunity to do more procedures.20–23 This suggests that it might be beneficial for schools to expand rural training opportunities for reasons other than to influence career choice and practice location.
One limitation to our review is that the studies were often of moderate or poor quality. Several studies only evaluated small numbers of students, and most were either retrospective or cross-sectional in design. Several studies used self-reported survey data, which has the potential for bias, especially because most of the study groups consisted of students likely to embrace rural medicine. In addition, this review looked only at North American studies, and the findings might not extend to other countries. Finally, our search strategy might have missed some relevant studies. However, a strength of the review is that although the studies varied in methodology, quality, and type of experience, in aggregate they consistently reported beneficial outcomes related to rural experiences.
In conclusion, our study provides evidence that placement in rural settings is a positive learning experience that students value and that preceptors find gratifying. These findings should be of interest to educators responsible for training medical students. As new medical schools come online and existing schools increase in size, the clinical resources at academic health centers may be challenged to meet future training needs, and the findings reported here indicate that rural settings represent a potentially untapped training resource that seems to offer a different, yet high-quality, experience that might benefit all students. Although the evidence supports that these rotations influence practice site and career choice, it is not clear whether they merely reinforce preexisting interest or have the ability to motivate previously uninterested students to consider careers in primary care or rural medicine. Future directions for research include assessing the quantitative effect on career choice and defining the most effective methods of rural training, optimum rotation length, and timing of the experience. Finally, exploring how technology such as Web-based learning might benefit rural training is another potential area of exploration.

...I stumbled upon think-outside-the-box brides like The Broke-Ass-Bride and Rock 'n Roll Bride. These blogs, along with a slew of other fabulous wedding blogs, totally changed my attitude towards weddings. They taught me that DAMMIT, "it's our wedding, it's OUR commitment that's being made - not anyone else's - so why not be OURSELVES?" And let's face it. I'm not a follow-the-rules kinda person, so why would I be a follow-the-rules kinda bride? I guess I was just fearful. I was that little birdie who was too much of a pansy ass to spread her wings and fly. Ok. I know. Sorry for the lame metaphor. I agree with Jack Nicholson that, "Anyone who speaks in metaphor can shampoo my crotch." Which, as a side note, is among the greatest quotes in cinematic history. So as payment for speaking in said metaphor, please excuse me for a moment while I go shampoo Jack's junk.
- Humor. I try to have a humorous approach to writing. No? You don't think so? I just shampooed the Joker's Johnson! On a wedding blog! With No Apologies! If you don't think that's hardcore awesome, you have no business reading this here shiz. ...Ok. I'm kidding. You don't have to think I'm funny. I wouldn't laugh at me either. I don't take weddings (or life in general) too seriously. If I did I would hate planning these nupts. So every once in a while, all us brides need a chuckle. And sh-t, maybe that little chuckle can inspire an idea or give you a release from a stressful planning moment. See: Hipster Bride Style Guide, After the Party Comes the Hotel Lobby, and Ass Facial Honeymoon to see what I mean.
- Courage. I want to be myself, even if 'myself' can sound harsh at times. See, the post Where I Stand to get an idea. My marriage to Mike is everything. It is the single most important commitment I will make in my life. And quite frankly, I don't want to eff with that. We want to be ourselves through and through on our wedding day with no regrets and most importantly, no fear. If we want to include a statement on marriage equality during the ceremony, we're not going to back down because we think 'some people won't appreciate it.' If they don't, they should wake the eff up. It's 2009. ...See? So harsh that Bowie Bride, she is. ;)
- Practicality. With the humor and the honesty in my writing comes a defined sense of practicality. I can't justify wasteful wedding behavior like buying expensive china sets I'll never use or demanding our ceremony showcase an assload of out of season flowers from New Freaking Zealand - or even using real flowers at all at this point. I'd like to take a cue from fellow green brides and try to be as environmentally conscious as possible. I have a lot to learn. But hopefully this blog can be an open discussion and a decent start to adapting a greener perspective on weddings and everyday life for all involved. Check out part 1 and part 2 of my Post-modern Bride Guide to see what I mean.
- A Little Bit of Crazy. My homegirl from A Cupcake Wedding described my blog as, "like spending time with your craziest, coolest friend." Which is an AMAZING compliment, btw (Thank you, Lady C!). Whenever I describe my wedding ideas to my more traditional friends, I always preface it with, "Okay, you're gonna think I'm nuts, but I have this rad idea..." But at the heart of all my crazy ideas, there's a genuine concept - sometimes it just takes a little creativity to find it. Check out these posts to see what I mean: All the Single Ladies...AND Single Lads, The Bride Took The Bus, and Inspiration from the Dogg Pound (of the Snoop Variety).
I hope you all have loved reading as much as I have enjoyed sharing. I can't plan this wedding without you guys. I mean that, yo. So let's keep the bride support alive!

History events at the IHR
Historical Mapping and Geographic Information Systems
06 May 2014, 09:00 - 18:00
Event Type: Research Training
Researchers increasingly see the value of including mapping in their work, but the software used for creating maps - Geographic Information Systems (GIS) – can do much more than simply create maps as illustrations. GIS is being used in a variety of contexts to make sense of information with a spatial component, be it at the level of buildings and streets or at the level of nations, and to perform sophisticated geospatial and topographical analyses. The workshop will include hands-on practical sessions using GIS software to view and manipulate historical data, and will provide the opportunity for generating (and analysing) the kinds of thematic mapping that is the product of this research tool. Fee: £75
Venue: Senate House
The event is taking place in several rooms in Senate House.

Was not expecting this review to be by you. I haven't listened to this yet, but I checked them out a year ago or so when I was contacted, via pm, by both Alex and Alan about getting their profile activated here.
I recall thinking what I listened to back then was OK, but not very spectacular. But this receiving such high praise from you here certainly piques my interest.

ScootervilleWednesday, October 16th, 2013
While there's lots of places to buy Willie Nelson paraphanalia and souveniers, from Walmart to the world wide web, "Scooterville" stands alone. The travelling Willie Nelson Store has been following Willie Nelson and Family around for decades, and it has albums and shirts and books,hats, license plate holders, pens, key chains, so many things you can't get anywhere else except at a Willie Nelson show. And you won't find a better collection or variety of Willie Nelson cds anywhere. So, next time you go to a show, make sure you stop by. And go early, because they usually sell out of the poster or tee shirt created for that night's show. Don't wait 'til after the show. It's worth the wait in the long line! And say hi to Scooter and Ruthie, Francine, James, JW, Jude, and whoever else you might run in to. They are the nicest folks.
I'm going to paraphrase, but I read story about Willie Nelson's loyalty to those close to him, and their loyalty to him. When Willie started getting national recognition and becoming so popular, he was approached by major marketing company who wanted to take over his merchandising. They promised they could make more money and represent his image better. And so the story goes, Willie said, "Where were you when we were travelling in vans and selling out of our trunks?"
ScootervilleSaturday, July 13th, 2013
I got to visit Scooterville when I went to see WN&F in Texas last week. So many cool things! Make sure you stop by and say hello when you get to a show, and see all the great Willie Nelson & Family merchandise. Largest collection of unique, one-of-a-kind souveniers. And the folks are so friendly there!

ScootervilleSunday, April 15th, 2012
If you are headed to a Willie Nelson & Family show, make sure you stop by Scooterville, the travelling Willie Nelson merchandise store. Scooter Franks and his crew travel around the country with Willie Nelson & Family with the largest collection of Willie Nelson souveniers and music and vinyl anywhere. They always have special limited edition merchandise for each show, too, i.e., a few dozen shirts for that show, and posters. The booth is always busy, but it's worth the wait to get your souvenier. Only place to get a new Willie Doll, too!
If you do visit them, tell them Linda sent you. I owe those guys some money.
ScootervilleSaturday, April 7th, 2012
enjoy a Willie todayTuesday, March 13th, 2012
Scooterville didn't disappoint, they had so many new cool shirts and hoodies and mugs, and all our favorite Willie Nelson souveniers and paraphanalia. I love this shirt; comes in spring green and spring yellow. The artist who did this, Jay from Austin, (sorry don't know his full name) does such a great job. Back of shirt says, "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die"
I hooked up with Scooter, Ruthie, JR, in Phoenix, and it was so fun to hang out and catch up. Stop by and see them when you are at a show. Buy a Willie Doll; you'll thank me later. They have things that you can only get at a Willie Nelson concert, from their travelling merchandise stand.
ScootervilleThursday, February 23rd, 2012
Scooter Franks and his family and crew brings his travelling store to every Willie Nelson & Family concert, with the best selection of Willie Nelson merchandise available anywhere — shirts, posters, key chains, pins, buttons, cds, vinyl, bandannas, books, dvds, coozies, cups, hats, license plate holders, I can't even think of all the cool stuff they have.
Each show has special event show items , a limited number of shirts and posters for that show — get yours early if you go; they do sell out. It's always fun to see what's new. They don't have a website — only place to purchase it is at shows, so stop by and say hello when you visit a show. Word to the wise, go to their booth before the show.
Oh, and Willie Dolls! Scooterville is your source for the Willie Nelson dolls

On December 23, 1971 President Richard Nixon signed the National Cancer Act of 1971 — sometimes called the War on Cancer. Earlier that year in his State of the Union Address, the President had said,
The time has come in America when the same kind of concentrated effort that split the atom and took man to the moon should be turned toward conquering this dread disease. Let us make a total national commitment to achieve this goal.
Among other things, the legislation
- Strengthened the National Cancer Institute.
- Made the NCI Director a Presidential appointee.
- Provided $400 million to the NCI for 1972.
- Put funding for NCI into a direct bypass budget.
- Gave NCI the power to establish cancer centers and fund research grants.
In 1975 half adults and children with cancer died. Today nearly 7 out of 10 adults and 8 out of 10 children will be alive five years after they are diagnosed.
So are we winning?
- Between 1990 and 2007, cancer death rates went down 22% for men and 14% for women.
- Over a similar time, death rates from colorectal cancer went down 33.4% for men and 28.4% for women.
- From a single, fifties-era chemo drug for colorectal cancer, we now have 7 approved drugs and targeted agents.
- Colorectal cancer screening, brand-new in 1970, now is a major force in preventing colorectal cancer.
- Chemotherapy after surgery for local and regional colon cancer has pushed the cure rate up to 75%.
- Better imaging and better surgery is now curing more metastatic colorectal cancer.
- In 2010, 571,950 people in the United States died from cancer. That's more than one person every minute of every day.
- This year 49,380 men and women will die from colorectal cancer, nearly 6 people every hour.
- While fewer people are smoking, obesity is increasing and people are sitting more and exercising less.
- Essentially flat budgets for the NCI since 2003 have meant a loss in research purchasing power of over $1 billion.
"In order to win the war against cancer, we must fund the war against cancer." President George W. Bush, September 18, 2002.
Have we been asking the wrong questions?
In a recent interview with Medscape Today, Harold Varmus, MD, Director of the National Cancer Institute said that the war on cancer metaphor is no longer valid,
First of all, I think we've changed the metaphor. It's inaccurate, in my view, to think of a war on cancer as though cancer were a single, individual enemy, nor is the metaphor of war exactly right. We now understand that cancer is actually a constellation of diseases, many different diseases arising in different tissues. Indeed the number of diseases that cancer represents has only multiplied over the last 40 years as we understand more and more about how cancers arise.
Second, we understand that cancer is an outgrowth of some fundamental principles of biology, how genes control our development, how development goes awry, how different genes can influence the initiation and progression of cancer.

- American Association for Cancer Research Cancer Progress Report 2011: Transforming Patient Care Through Innovation
- American Cancer Society Cancer Facts and Figures 2011
- NCI Video: President Nixon signing the National Cancer Act of 1971
In the AACR Cancer Progress Report 2011, AACR leaders write,
We live in an unprecedented time of scientific opportunities, and our commitment to prevent and cure cancer has never been stronger.
Fight Colorectal Cancer agrees.

Sir, Dr Mark Porter highlighted the difference in NHS attitudes between treatment for mental health and physical health problems, using women struggling with postnatal depression as an example (Jan 20).
We would add that mothers and fathers may be affected by depression and even post-traumatic stress disorder during the antenatal and postnatal periods. This can devastate the beginnings of family life. New parents who desperately want to bond with their baby find their emotions and plans wrecked by these illnesses, with the baby and other children suffering sometimes long-term consequences on their behaviour and psychological wellbeing.

Tools and techniques for PHP with Linux
PHP is becoming an essential tool for all but the simplest websites. This month we examine PHP in the Linux environment.
PHP is at home on tiny guestbook sites that handle six visitors a week, and on high-end, high-performance websites with millions of visitors a day. This open-source programming language has a pleasantly smooth on-ramp for new programmers and small projects, but PHP also has the power, flexibility, and developer community to handle just about anything you can throw at it. This month's cover story looks at the world of PHP.

By Judy Brandon: Local columnist
I wrote about these two long-gone cousins about five years ago, but the time has come to tell their story again. This childhood story illustrates the point that the decisions and choices we make affect us.
These two grew up in northeastern Arkansas. In grade school they participated in a school club named the Busy Bee Club where they learned all kinds of homemaking skills such as sewing, cooking and gardening.
One year their club entered a competition for the rural schools, and the competition was going to be held at the school in Marked Tree, Ark. So the two traveled by wagon with the rest of the girls to Marked Tree for the competition.
On that day, their mother sent them off with clean, starched matching dresses. They carried a coin purse full of money they had saved from chores. Their earnings collectively amounted to 25 cents.
They arrived in Marked Tree by wagon. After the morning competition, the teacher took them to a drugstore for lunch. The main attraction was a 10-cent deal — a Coke and a hamburger.
The cousins pondered their order. Their mind was not on hamburgers but the big box of Dumbbell suckers that sat on the shelf. Dumbbell suckers looked just like dumbbells, with candy at both ends, and they came in the flavors of grape, cherry, strawberry and lemon.
The girls reasoned that since their mother was not there, the choice was theirs.
"We'll take that box of Dumbbell suckers," one sister told the woman behind the counter.
"The whole box?" the woman asked in surprise.
"The whole box," said the cousin.
"That's 25 cents," the woman said.
The girls opened their coin purse and dumped 25 cents on the counter and walked out with a box of Dumbbell suckers.
During lunch the cousins licked their suckers, cracked the hard candy with their teeth and even gave a few away. They had to get rid of the evidence before they got home. After the two-hour hot wagon ride and all that sugar, the two knew they had made the wrong choice. They were so queasy that by the time they got home, they were really sick. Neither girl wanted to ever see another Dumbbell sucker.
Life is made up of good and bad choices. Some choices are not necessarily bad, as in the case of mother's cousins, but some choices are not the best.
Then again some choices are bad. Lot made a choice and pitched his tent near Sodom, and it negatively changed his entire family. Jacob made a choice and deceived his own father. Jacob's boys made choices and their lives were never the same from then on. Saul made a choice and he fell out of favor with God. David made a choice and ruined his marriage.
Then some choices are good. Joseph made a choice, turned away from Potiphar's wife and God blessed him. Rahab made a choice and, even though a prostitute, sided with God, and she is listed in the lineage of Jesus. Hannah made a choice, fulfilled the vow she made to God and Samuel her son grew up to be the most influential, godly man in Israel. Job made a choice, praised God even in the midst of a terrible condition and he was rewarded.
Little choices everyday throughout our lives form who we become. Where are you headed today because of your choices?

The Best List of Italian Foods Cooking in America
The List of Italian Foods Just Got Bigger
Do you love the rich tomato and cheeses of Italian foods? Do you crave the carbs from the pasta, bread, and the fats from the olive oils? If you do, you most likely love Italian food. And your list of Italian foods favorites is about to grow.
A List of Italian Foods
Let's start with Antipasti. This is the food you eat before your meal, or what Americans call, the appetizer.
Italians love simple, tasty appetizers. You'll often see them snacking on:
- Bruschetta – small pieces of toast with tomatoes, cheese and herbs.
- Capicollo – a luncheon meat that's spicy.
- Insalata capreses – a salad
- Mozzarelline fitte – fried small mozzarellas
- Olives
- Prosciutto – a ham type of luncheon meat
- Salami
- Nervetti – beef with onions
- Italian bread with olive oil mixed with herbs
- Breads include:
- Bari
- Biga
- Buccellato
- Casatiello
- Ciabatta
- Ciaccino
- Ciriola
- Colimba Pasquale
- Crocche
- Farinata
- Breads include:
Italians will often eat their meals with soup. Some of the most popular Italian soups are:
- Acquacotta
- Bagna cauda
- Garmugia
- Minestrone
- Pasta e fagioli
- Grine Sauce
- Straciatella
There are many Italian meals. They are all satisfying to most people's palettes. When you go to an Italian's home or a restaurant, there's always something that someone will love.
Pizza is one of the most popular Italian meals that almost everyone loves. Since there are many different combinations of ingredients you can place on a pizza, the kinds available are endless. Here are some of the most popular ones that Italians love.
List of Italian Foods: Pizza
Pizza marinara – tomato, oregano and garlic
Pizza siciliana – tomato, mozzarella, capperi, olive, and anchovy
Pizza pugliese – tomato, mozzarella, and onions
Pizza capricciosa – tomato, mozzarella, mushrooms, artichokes, black olives, and green olives
Pizza ai quatrro formaggi – four different cheeses
Calzones are also a favorite. This pizza dough folds together with the ingredients usually found on a pizza inside of it instead. It's popular to see ricotta cheese inside of it instead of the shredded cheese common on regular pizza.
List of Italian Foods: Pasta
Pasta is the staple Italian food. Whenever you want something that's comforting and delicious, why not turn to good old faithful pasta? There are so many different types of pasta, and so many ways to make it that's impossible to list it all here. However, here are the most popular:
- Cappellini
- Cannelloni
- Gnocchi
- Lasagne

Pasta Dishes

- Ravioli with marinara
- Linguini with clam sauce
- Carbonara
- Tortelloni alla zucca
- Trofie al peta
- Trotelloni with ricotta and spinach
While most people don't think about rice being pasta, it's essentially the same. Most people don't think of rice being Italian either, but it's a common food in Northern Italy.
It's called risotto in Italy. Here are some of the different ways it's made:
- Risotto al Barolo
- Risotto tonnato
- Risotto alla zucca
- Riso alla Toscana
- Risotta with saffron
- Rissoto alla marinara
- Risotto al gorgonzola

text: Doak Walker honored as a "Hometown Hall of Famer™" 04/15/2013 On Tuesday, April 9, in Dallas, Highland Park High School became the 67th school in the nation to become an extension of the Pro Football Hall of Fame when the late Doak Walker, a Highland Park alumnus, was honored as a "Hometown Hall of Famer™" by the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Allstate. Photo 1 of 4 A special plaque ceremony took place in the Highland Park gymnasium in front of the entire student body, faculty, family and friends to honor the legacy of the Hall of Fame halfback. Walker led the National Football League in scoring two seasons and was part of two Detroit Lion NFL Championships in 1952-53. Randy Allen, head football coach for Highland Park, began the ceremony by talking about the impact Doak Walker had on the school and the football team, and the honor he brought to the Dallas community. Allen spoke of Walker's sportsmanship and the legacy he left behind. "We have the 1943 Highland Park High School football goals posted in our locker room," Allen told the audience. "Some of the ideas that his team wanted to pass on to future players included sportsmanship, playing smart and tough and conducting oneself in a manner on and off the field that not only glorifies the game of football but this high school." Closing his remarks, he told the audience that the Highland Park football team strives to honor Walker's legacy and principles both on and off the field every day. Walker's family including his first wife Norma Peterson Walker, sons Russell Walker and Scott Walker and daughters Kris Wolcott and Laurie Hunt, unveiled the plaque amidst cheers from the crowd and an energetic rendition of the school fight song played by the school band. Laurie Hunt spoke first on behalf of her father and telling the crowd how humbled she was to hear people speak of his accomplishments, "The man we knew was not the NFL legend that so many of you know," she said. "To us, he was simply Dad." Hunt went on to say that, never once did her father let his achievements and successes get the better of him. Russ Walker followed his sister and spoke of his father's love for the game. He told the crowd that he and his siblings were of an age that they could understand what it meant to their father to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, "There are over 24,000 football players and only 280 enshrined," Walker said. "This is a huge honor and I remember Dad said…'now I can retire.'" His father epitomized leadership, sportsmanship and athletic achievement and he told the audience that he and his family ensure that they embody the man they still look to as a role model every day. In addition to the plaque, a commemorative Doak Walker "Hometown Hall of Famer ™" road sign will be on display in Dallas at Highland Park High School. Additional speakers included Hugo Valdes, a local Allstate agent and George Veras, president and CEO of Pro Football Hall of Fame Enterprises. "The 'Hometown Hall of Famer™' plaque that we are presenting to the Walker family today is really a tribute to Doak Walker's hometown roots in Highland Park and Dallas," said Veras. "This plaque will live at Highland Park and serve as an inspiration that anyone here in the audience could be a Hall of Famer in their own field, in their own way." After high school, Walker went on to play football at Southern Methodist University where he received the Heisman Trophy in 1948. He was drafted in the first round of the 1949 draft as a future choice by the Boston Yanks. His rights were traded to the Detroit Lions in 1950 and quickly erased any doubt that, at 5-11 and 173 pounds, he would be overwhelmed by the "big boys" of the NFL. In 1950, he was All-NFL, Rookie of the Year, the league-scoring champion, and selected to a Pro Bowl. When Walker finished his six-season career after the 1955 campaign, he had been named All-NFL five times and selected to five Pro Bowls. It's no coincidence that, during his pro career, the Lions enjoyed their finest years with three divisional titles and NFL championship victories over the Cleveland Browns in 1952 and 1953. "Like Doak Walker and other Hall of Famers, we at Allstate know and understand the value of hometown pride," said Valdes. "We work hard every day to protect what matters to people including their family and their legacies and like these Hall of Famers we help people achieve their goals and dreams." Walker was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1986. He passed away on Sept. 27, 1998, at the age of 71. Back to news

TURNBERRY, Scotland - These kind of things usually don't end well, no matter how much we might want them to. Golf is a tough enough game for even the youngsters playing in this British Open, and 59-year-olds have no business getting in the way - no matter what their pedigree might be.
But then Tom Watson starts talking about feeling something spiritual out on the links, and you start wondering. He calls the golf course "she," like Turnberry is an eccentric old aunt, and says he feels a serenity when he is with her.
On Thursday, he went out underneath a retro argyle sweater with a 16-year-old as one of his playing partners and shot a 5-under 65 that was as remarkable as it was improbable. It matched the score he posted in the final round on the same course in 1977 to beat Jack Nicklaus by a shot and win the Claret Jug in what would live in golf lore as the "Duel in the Sun."
The ease with which it came made a lot of his fans - and there are many in Britain, where his success has been great - want to believe. But he's at an age where the supreme confidence of one day can mysteriously disappear by the next.
The day before, he had teased reporters by telling them what a great story it would be if he might somehow win, then laughed at the silliness of it all. He didn't mention anything about the text messages wishing him good luck from a woman named Barbara, who just happens to be married to the man he beat 32 years ago.
He doesn't have many other secrets, because Watson has always been an open book, at least when it comes to golf. He's played on the public stage in four decades now, and his five British Open wins, second only to Harry Vardon, would testify to a brilliant career even if he had never done anything else.
But win a sixth just nine months after undergoing hip surgery? Against a field that includes Tiger Woods and a host of 20-somethings who hit the ball long and far?
Not likely. Not at an age when nerves fray quicker and muscles ache longer.
The oldest player to win one of the four major championships was Julius Boros, who won the 1968 PGA Championship at 48, and the oldest to win the British was Old Tom Morris himself at 46 - and that was 142 years ago.
So how about it, Old Tom Watson? What if it somehow, some way, it came true?
"It would be amazing," Watson said. "You can put all kinds of superlative adjectives and all sorts of things to it. It would be amazing."
Indeed, the whole thing is way too crazy, something Watson seems to know but won't just come out and say. Not when the competitive juices are flowing and the game that can sometimes be so humiliating is fun again, at least for a day.
He's been in a similar position before, and it didn't end well. That was the 2003 U.S. Open outside Chicago, where the then-53-year-old opened with a 65 before fading and ending up in a tie for 28th.
On his bag for that tournament was longtime friend and caddie Bruce Edwards, who had been diagnosed earlier that year with Lou Gehrig's disease. The cheers that day as they walked up the 18th hole were for both men: a golfer who was playing beyond his years and his dying caddie, who was struggling just to walk.
Thursday's round at Turnberry didn't carry that kind of emotion, and Watson isn't a lot for sentimental reflection.
Golf hasn't been as much fun lately, and Watson knows time is running out, so that makes the round that left him just a stroke behind Miguel Angel Jimenez so special. British Open champions once had a lifetime pass to the tournament, but the age limit is now 60, meaning next year's tournament at St. Andrews will be his last.
He seems resigned to that and says he doesn't want to play when he has no chance to win. But he thinks he still has a few rounds left in him and believes there is something magical here that he can't quite explain.
"I feel inspired playing here," Watson said. "It doesn't feel a whole lot out of the ordinary from 32 years ago except that I don't have the confidence in my putting as I had 32 years ago. But, again, a few of them might go in."
They just might, assuming the cosmic gods of golf want it that way. This is, after all, a love affair between a man and a course.

Team of Specialists on Green Jobs in the Forest Sector
The Team of Specialists on Green Jobs in the Forest Sector (Joint ILO/UNECE/FAO Experts Network) contributes effectively and efficiently to the achievement of the integrated work programme of the Committee on Forests and the Forest Industry (COFFI) and the European Forestry Commission (EFC). It also identifies new priority issues within its scope of work, and draws them to the attention to its parent bodies.
The focus of the Experts Network's activities is the implementation of sustainable forest management (SFM) in the UNECE region, in particular relating to the sector of green jobs in the forest sector and the social and cultural aspects of SFM on the basis of the broad policy objectives established by the parent bodies. The Experts Network concentrates on a limited range of topics, for instance training, workforce, private forestry, contractors, occupational safety and health, or social dimension of forestry (SFM), i.e. on human resources.
While all countries benefit from international cooperation, the Experts Network recognises the special needs of some countries of the CIS and south east Europe, as identified in the integrated programme of work.

Condition Records
This section explains how to perform day-to-day pricing activities during sales order processing. The section explains how to create and maintain pricing information by using condition records.
Purpose of Condition Records
Condition records allow you to store and retrieve pricing data in the system. All the pricing elements of your daily business - the prices, discounts, and surcharges for freight and taxes - that you want to use for automatic pricing must be stored in the system as condition records. You can define as many condition records as you want for the different pricing elements for any validity period.
You create condition records for all the pricing elements that the system takes into account during automatic pricing. During document processing, the system transfers data from the condition records and determines the amounts for individual pricing elements (prices, discounts and surcharges) and the final amount for the sales document.
Organizational Level
Pricing elements are generally managed at the sales organization and the distribution channel level. Therefore you always have to specify the organizational level when creating condition records. In the case of condition records for price groups, freight charges, and customer-specific prices and discounts, you must also enter the division. As a result, you can create conditions according to product groups with these price elements.
Creating Condition Records With Reference
If you want to create condition records based on records that already exist in the system, you can create condition records with reference. Creating condition records with reference reduces the data entry effort considerably. This method of creating condition records is especially useful for creating records that have similar data to the reference but have different validity periods.
You can overwrite any of the specifications of a condition record, thus using it as a reference. When you save an altered condition record, the system creates a new condition record.
- Material prices can be maintained directly in the material master record. or you go to the material master record and select Extras
Maintaining Pricing Related Master Data
During sales order processing the system can process some condition records only if corresponding data is maintained in the material or customer master records. If, for example, you want to apply discounts to certain customers by creating condition records for different price list types, you must maintain data in each of the relevant customer master records.

Eddie Redmayne Talks Stephen Hawking
My boyfriend, the darling Les Miserables star Eddie Redmayne, will be playing the role of Stephen Hawking in the upcoming film The Theory of Everything. Hawking was a famous theoretical physicist who suffered from ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. The film is about Hawking's relationship with his first wife, Jane who will be played by actress Felicity Jones.
Redmayne speaks with Entertainment Weekly about the challenges of playing a role:
"The real problem with making a film is of course you don't shoot chronologically," says the actor. "So it was about having to really try and chart his physical deterioration [so] you can jump into it day-to-day, whilst at the same time keeping this spark and wit and humor that he has."
Redmayne was able to meet with Hawking while he was preparing for the role and noted, "even now, when he's unable to move, you can still see such effervescence in his eyes."
When Hawking first received his diagnosis at age 21, he was told he would be dead in two years. He went on to have three children with Jane and is currently 72 years old. He also went on to divorce Jane after falling in love and subsequently marrying a nurse of his. The marriage did not last- however I don't think the Hollywood version of his life will get into that nitty gritty detail…
The film will be released in theaters in November.

The NBA season is young, and it's still a little premature to sound a warning siren on any given team in the league, but teams like the Nuggets have to start wondering how they are going to address the issues they have and get their stars performing to the level we are accustomed to seeing out of them.
The Nuggets earned the ignominious honor of having three of the eight players in this slideshow, a testament to not only how poorly they have played but also to how much talent is on the team to have three stars to begin with.
Outside of the Nuggets, the struggles of the Celtics, Thunder and Clippers have flagged a few underachieving stars, while two others are playing bad ball for teams that are winning.
All in all, it's too early to say any guy is in for a bad season, but all eight of these guys are going to have to find their rhythm for their teams to begin winning (or to keep winning in two instances).
