Three WCLA Top 20 Teams in Action at Pitt Playday

Junior attacker Maggie Stankaitis, Pittsburgh's top
scorer, is out until at least April 6 with a concussion.
Pitt Lacrosse Playday
Friday, March 22
Saturday, March 23
Sunday, March 24
Three of the top 20 US Lacrosse Women's Collegiate Lacrosse Associates (WCLA) Division I teams are in action this weekend at the annual Pitt Lacrosse Playday.
The No. 11 Panthers host No. 17 Miami (Ohio) Friday night in the tournament opener. No. 20 Ohio State Club will battle Virginia Tech in the nightcap. Penn State Club joins the fray on Saturday.
See the full schedule for the Pitt Playday below.
Pittsburgh (5-3) will play for the first time since a March 3 loss to Maryland in which the Panthers squandered an early 6-1 lead to eventually lose 11-9. Pitt's three losses are by a combined five goals. Coach Gary Neft said the team needs to be more consistent and keep up the intensity in the second half of games.
"I can go back on all three games that we've lost and pick a moment where the game changed," he said. "We've got to play smart, we've got to take care of the ball and we've got to cut down on turnovers, which killed us against Maryland."
The Panthers will be without junior attacker Maggie Stankaitis, who suffered a concussion before the Maryland game. Neft said he hopes to have his leading scorer from last year back in time for the Panthers' April 6 game against Michigan Club, pending clearance from Stankaitis' doctors.
Pittsburgh has not lost a WCLA contest at home since 2007. Miami senior defender and player-coach Kati Keenan has never beaten the Panthers, but she said the games are always close. The Red Hawks will focus on combating Pittsburgh's double teams and aggressive defense.
"We have a really strong team this year. We've got a really good group of freshmen," Keenan said. "We just have to get our mind in the game and get ready to play. If we beat Pitt, there's no stopping us."
Panthers senior defender Robyn Dalton expects a tough fight from Miami.
"Each year, they come out stronger and stronger. We need to play aggressively and make sure that we take our time on attack and really make good choices," Dalton said. "It could go either way. If we have one up on them with aggression and with hustle, then we have a good chance of winning."
No. 20 Ohio State cracked the top 20 this week, but the Buckeyes are untested. They posted an 11-4 win against Kentucky in their only game of the season. Penn State is playing its season opener Saturday against Pittsburgh. Virginia Tech is 2-0 against WCLA Division II competition this year.
As is the case throughout much of the lacrosse community this weekend, however, the teams will play for more than just a notch in the standings.
The tragedy that claimed the life of 30-year-old Seton Hill coach Kristina Quigley, her unborn son Jackson and 61-year-old bus driver Anthony Guaetta has cast a pall of sadness over the weekend. Seton Hill is located about 30 miles outside of Pittsburgh. Each of the teams will represent Seton Hill's crimson and gold in some way and a moment of silence will be observed before the first game on each day.
Pitt has played fall scrimmages against Seton Hill for the last several years. Neft, who also has coached two current Seton Hill players in fall ball travel teams, said Quigley enjoyed what she did and really cared about her players.
"Our thoughts and prayers are going out to Seton Hill," Dalton said. "Everyone in lacrosse nation all feels for them. We want to do at least a little something for them to show our respect for their team and the fact that no team should really have to go through that."

7 Top Cars at the Detroit Auto Show
Honda Urban SUV Concept
Honda rolled out its compact Urban SUV Concept on Monday, planning to launch it in Japan by the end of 2013 and in the U.S. in 2014.
"No one has had greater success with small cars than Honda, and this Urban SUV Concept will create new value in the growing small-SUV segment," said John Mendel, executive vice president of sales at American Honda, in a prepared statement.
Total Car Score CEO Karl Brauer said the Urban SUV could be the most important vehicle at the auto show. "In terms of sales and growth for a brand, that small Honda concept (all the high-volume variants will sit on it) is pretty important to that brand," he said. By the way, that quote is from the first interview we ever conducted by text messaging.
Eric Lyman, vice president of editorial for ALG, a provider of automotive analysis, said the Urban SUV cannot arrive soon enough.
"With gas prices expected to rise over the long term and the subcompact utility segment in its infancy Honda cannot bring their entry into the segment soon enough," Lyman said, in a prepared statement. "With strong brand value and perception of fuel economy, Honda can capitalize on a segment currently populated with polarizing niche products."
Cadillac ELR
Cadillac rolled out the ELR, basically a luxury Volt, on Tuesday, saying "the sleek luxury coupe features the first application of extended range electric vehicle technology by a full-line luxury automotive brand."
"Cadillac ELR is General Motors' second vehicle using plug-in technology and its first luxury model with the powertrain," said TrueCar.com analyst Jesse Toprak, in a prepared statement. "The success of this vehicle will help GM to lower its production costs and introduce more plug-in hybrid models within its lineup of vehicles."
Brandy Schaffels, a TrueCar.com. editor, added: "This elegant sister to the Volt promises all the luxury and prestige one expects from the Cadillac brand."
Lexus IS Sedan
Lexus rolled out the IS on Tuesday and said it will go on sale in June. Design is key.
"One of the guys from our production crew said it looks fast even when it's standing still," said Mark Templin, Lexus Division group VP and general manager.
Hellwig said the IS, like many newly introduced luxury cars, will attempt to compete with the BMW 3 Series. He said Lexus "didn't do anything real dramatic. They went with a very evolutionary tact and tweaked a lot around the edges."
TrueCar's Toprak, in a prepared statement, said that "Lexus has a chance to bring a younger demographic to their brand with the new IS -- This vehicle has a chance to grab market share from competing vehicles in its segment and help Lexus to compete in the share of the luxury crown again."

That looks like a variation on the "bell shaped curve", rotated around the x-axis. You can write it most easily as parametric equations using "x" and the angle of rotation as parameters:
Hello, I am trying to work out the function of this 3D object and it's parametrisation but after searching the web I have had no luck. Does anybody have any clue what it may be? I was thinking it could be some sort of inverse hyperboloid.
Thank you
Thank you!
I am attempting to integrate this, do you know what the determinant of the Jacobian matrix would be?
You say that this is a variation of the bell shaped curve, is there a significant change or would it be ok to use those equations in finding the volume?

By Chelle Delaney: Quay County Sun
"Do yuh hear that whistle down the line?
I figure that it's engine number forty nine,
She's the only one that'll sound that way.
On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe!"
That's a song that won an Oscar, in a 1946 film starring Judy Garland. The movie? "The Harvey Girls."
The "Harvey Girls?" When the U.S. railroads first went West, they didn't offer any food service. Passengers had to provide for themselves.
(I imagine, it was kind of like the airlines, today, minus the Homeland Security restrictions.)
Then a fellow named Fred Harvey, who had some restaurant experience, conceived the idea of having restaurants at the train stations.
And like a good American entrepreneur, he sold that idea to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe folks and opened his first Harvey House at the station in Topeka, Kan. It was a success and he opened more.
But he soon decided that young women would be better at "waitressing" than the sometimes rowdy young men he'd been hiring.
So Harvey ran newspaper ads, recruiting young women "of good moral character" to work in his restaurants. The agreement: A six-month contract, $17.50 a month to start plus room, board and tips. At work, they'd wear their Harvey Girl "uniform." It was a black dress with a big white apron; the "uniform" Judy Garland wore in the movie.
Harvey and the Santa Fe gave it everything they had. Refrigerator cars hauled in produce and fresh meat. Two Harvey Company dairies to provide fresh milk. Portions were large; and they cut their pies into fourths.
Harvey House Hotels followed the restaurants. And, of course, housing had to be built for the Harvey Girls.
Such accommodations were built in many railroad cities in New Mexico.
Visit www.harveyhouses.net to see photos of old Harvey Houses in 12 states, including New Mexico.
You'll also find Harvey Houses listed at Albuqerque, Belen, Carlsbad, Clovis, Deming, Gallup,Lamy, Las Vegas, Raton, Rincon, Santa Fe, San Marcial, and Vaughn.
But not Tucumcari.
Why not? We got our first train, the Rock Island, on March 12, 1902.
And pretty soon we had a railroad station; still standing.
No, we didn't have a Harvey House; or Harvey Girls.
But what we did have was the Golden State Limited; a combination of the Rock Island Railroad and the Southern Pacific Railroad that gave us four passenger trains a day, running from Chicago to Los Angeles.
And vice versa.
East to West: Chicago-Kansas City-Tucumcari-El Paso-Los Angeles!
West to East: Los Angeles-El Paso-Tucumcari-Kansas City-Chicago!
What's more, we had a song about our railroad, too.
And from the likes of Johnny Cash. So, when you're driving down Rock Island Road, you could be humming and remembering,
"The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
The Rock Island Line is the road to ride
The Rock Island Line is a mighty good road
If you want to ride you gotta ride it like you find it
Get your ticket at the station for the Rock Island Line!"

The Neutral and Natural Tan Breathe Clear Nasal Strips are designed with a special Latex Free, Hypoallergenic fabric that is breathable, flexible and stretchable, enabling you to customize the fit to accommodate the unique shape of your nose. Employing our patented system of Dual Lift, Dual Flex nasal dilators, the range of positioning options is unlimited.
The competition only offers a single type of nasal dilation flex strip that, because of its patent limitations, can not be stretched to fit each side of the nose independently. Either you fit it or it doesn't fit you... too bad! A Natural Advantage for Breathe Clear Nasal Strips!
The Clear version of Breathe Clear Nasal Strips was originally designed for those with sensitive skin, but, because they are less conspicuous, they have become popular with those who want to wear Nasal Strips during the day to keep their air passages clear at work. While not made from a breathable fabric and not as adjustable as the Natural Tan strips, they also use Medical Grade Adhesives are still Latex Free, Hypoallergenic and comfortable to wear.
They employ the same patented system of Dual Lift, Dual Flex nasal dilators, and you will still experience the same benefit of increased lifting force for more effective relief than the other nasal strips on the market. A Clear Advantage for Breathe Clear!
Whichever color you choose, (many select both: purchasing the Natural Tan for use at home or outdoors for sports and the Clear for at work), all Breathe Clear Nasal Strips use Medical Grade Adhesives that are designed to resist rain, humidity and perspiration when used following the instructions.

PG&E has filed an Application, (A.03-12-039), for a Permit to Construct (PTC), including a Proponent's Environmental Assessment (PEA), pursuant to GO-131D to construct electrical facilities with voltages between 50 kV and 200 kV. The proposed project will consist of a 2.5 mile 115 kV underground power cable line within the city of San Francisco that will connect the Hunters Point switchyard to the Potrero switchyard.
Using the CAISO California Grid Planning Criteria, PG&E transmission planners evaluated various transmission alternatives and concluded that constructing a new 115 kV underground cable from Potrero to Hunters Point is the most feasible and cost-effective means of adding reliability to PG&E's internal transmission network in the city. For example, construction of a new 115 kV underground cable from Potrero to Hunters Point would allow PG&E to transmit power generated at Potrero to Hunters Point for further distribution if the generation capabilities at the Hunters Point Power Plant failed, or would allow the load on the internal transmission network to be distributed to the Potrero to Hunters Point line if another line needed to be taken out of service for repairs without overloading the current internal system.

Here are some hints for you.
You will need to use:
Opposite angles are equal
Alternate angles of parallel lines are equal
Angle at centre is twice the angle at the circumference
Angle sum of triangle.
If you don't know an angle, you can make that angle = x (a variable)
Does it help?

At last night's AIAS Awards at DICE 2010, video game pioneer David Jaffe may have revealed a release window for the next Twisted Metal game. According to an on-the-scene report from our own Andrew Pfister, crowd members screamed "Twisted Metal!" while Jaffe was presenting an award, and Jaffe responded thusly:
"Soon, b*tch. Eight or nine months."
So, unless Jaffe was answering an unheard spectator asking, "How long does a human baby take to gestate," it looks like we may see a new Twisted Metal in less than a year.
The lesson here: Don't be rude at awards shows, or a well-known game developer might call you a naughty word, also: People are very excited at the prospect of a new Twisted Metal game.

Tamworth Distilling & Mercantile will be built on the site of the historic Tamworth Inn, located in the center of Tamworth Village. A section of the Inn will be preserved to ensure the history of the town lives on, while the remaining space will be devoted to a carefully constructed micro-distillery.
Our enterprise will be a small-scale test distillery where we'll create farm-to-bottle spirits in a range of categories, from whiskies to gins and vodkas to historical spirits like applejack. Most everything will be made from New Hampshire crops. In addition, we will further distinguish ourselves from other distilleries, through a line of farm-to-bottle botanical extracts, essential oils, perfumes and edibles.
The values and practices of Tamworth Distilling & Mercantile are rooted in New England Transcendentalism, a philosophy that sought ways to live with meaning in an age of encroaching materialism. Transcendentalists like Emerson and Thoreau lived in a time not unlike our own, when forces of mass production were robbing life of its inherent dignity, meaning, and creative force.
Inspired by their beliefs, Tamworth Distilling & Mercantile will immerse itself in endeavors that keep us close to nature, community and the purity of making things.
Opening Winter of 2014

UK Analysis: Construction Data Point To Up Revision To Q2 GDP
LONDON (MNI) -- Overall growth in the UK economy could be revised higher in the second quarter as construction output fell less sharply than expected, figures from National Statistics showed Friday.
Along with the industrial production data released earlier this week, Q2 GDP growth could be revised higher by 0.2 percentage point in total which would see GDP down 0.5% on the quarter -- more in line with the Bank of England's estimate published in the Inflation Report.
Construction output fell a seasonally adjusted 3.9% on the quarter in Q2 and was down 9.5% on levels a year earlier. This compared with an estimated fall of 5.2% in the preliminary GDP release last month. The fall in output were widespread with 8 out of 9 sectors reporting declines.

Random, funny story (saying "child" above reminded me of it) about my high school days. My friends and I were in my car "cruising" as one does in Shelbyville, Indiana at sixteen years old and my friend dared me to yell "I want to have your baby!" at a group of
cute guys. I got nervous and yelled "I want your baby!!!!" Awkward giggling ensued. They still bring it up.
Anyhoo, time to sign off and do work people actually pay me to do. I'm going to go daydream about that string light hung ever so casually in the corner of the living room. Dan from Manhattan Nest has one in his kitchen and I click over to look at that photo daily. What are the things you guys are lusting for?

Trying to find the right skin care product can be a frustration and expensive experience. New generation products can cost well over $100 for a single bottle, which can be a hefty cost to pay if you are unsure the product will work. Finding products that are effective and will provide you with the desired results is easier that you think it is though thanks to Internet and the ability to find review and information about the products you are considering. Denese skin care products have been well researched and review, leaving little doubt that they will do what they say they will do.
Denese skin care is part of the SkinScience Labs founded in 2001 by Dr. Denese a well respected PH.D. and M.D. who has devoted her life to the research and study of anti-aging. Dr. Dense prides herself in creating a line of products that works in true harmony with each other to create a skin care regimen that is second to none in both its potency and effectiveness.
Many skin care brands make skin care products that are full of tiny amounts of many active ingredients simply so they can claim them on the label as part of a selling point. Dr. Denese does not believe in that but maintains through years of research that many ingredients simply do not play nice with each other, and can in fact cancel out each other's effects. While they may look nice in advertising they will do little or nothing for your face combined together like this.
Instead Dr. Denese created a line of products that work together, to provide all the benefits in perfect balance. In addition to complimenting each other, each active ingredient is added to the products in amounts that are proven to work, and are much stronger than what you will find in similar competing products despite the fact that the Denese skin care line costs less than many of these other skin care products.
If you are not certain about what sort of products you need, Dr Denese takes care of this as well by suggesting a line of products for each skin type and need, and provides you with a skin care regimen designed to get the best use of her products.
Denese skin care carries a full line of products for a number of different skin care concerns besides aging, including acne, age spots, eye circles, dry or dull skin and a full line of sun protection products. You will also find a line of products for each skin type including those for sensitive skin.
Dr Denese has been creating premium skin care products for 8 years, which are backed by years of research, she bases her skin care on that research, and her primary goal is creating skin care you can really use. Sure you will spend a lot on good skin care, but it is nice to know that you will get more than you paid for when you purchase from the Denese skin care line. If you are interested in learning more about the Denese skin care line then head over to the Skin Care Pavilion, they carry a full line of Denese skin care products and are excellence in products and customer service.

Summit to address animal handling practices
When food animal handling practices came under fire in Colorado, a coalition of livestock groups came together for a solution. The group helped form state legislation that would allow producers to address the issue in a workable timeframe and avoid a ballot issue to mandate change.
"We needed time to do research, to retrain employees and to be able to make the investment required to retrofit some of these operations," said Ivan Steinke of the Colorado Livestock Association. "We were able to come up with something understandable and implementable."
Steinke will share his experience at the Center for Food Integrity (CFI) 2008 Food System Summit, Oct. 8-9, in Indianapolis. During a breakout session on Food Animal Well Being, Steinke will be joined on a panel discussion of "Ballots, Initiatives and Ingenuity" by Mitch Head of GolinHarris, a leading public relations firm.
Additional breakout sessions will address the important food system topics of immigration, food safety and energy/sustainability. Summit participants will also get an in depth review and analysis of CFI's latest nationwide Consumer Trust Survey.
"Balancing for Success" is the theme of this year's event –- reflecting CFI's belief that truly sustainable systems must be scientifically verified, ethically grounded, and economically viable.
The full agenda and registration information are available at www.foodintegrity.org.

1994 To 1999
After the success of the previous years, things took a turn for the worse in 1994. Mike wrote 12 songs but Food didn't like the new material that had been written and it's back to the drawing board. Gen and Al play in some other bands to pass the time away. Alan also gets married.
Live dates are few and far between. In 1994 they supported Japanese star, Tomoyasu Hotei on a tour of Japan. Mike and Iain embark on some Djing dates with the Jesus Jones Sound System and Iain enjoys himself as a radio presenter.
The new album continued to be worked on. Working titles have been, 'Hendrix 303', 'Strawberry' and 'Aluminium'. In 1996 work started on a new production of songs for the fourth album with Martyn Phillips. A small tour of small places took place in April and May of 1996. It was in 1997 that 'The Next Big Thing' finally hit the streets before the album 'Already' was released. Another single 'Chemical No1' came from the album but without any publicity the album was never likely to be a huge seller.
Gen left the band and came back and then left again permanantly. His place would eventually be taken up by Tony Arthy.
So into a new millenium.

Review of gig at Hull The Room - Source Unknown - 14th May 1997
Jesus Jones. Remember them? They did that one that went, "Reeeel, reeel, ree-ee-eel, do you feeeel reeel, cgurgle, wurgle, schlurgle." Yeah, that's them and, yeah, they're still around. And right at the start of tonight's gig, with a starry-souled, passion-flaringly optimistic 'International Bright Young Thing' (Yes! They open with it! Mad! MAD!) they confirm that still around they most definately are.
And will be for a long time yet, judging by the rest of the set.
With a supremely messianic 'Right Here Right Now' and 'Who? Where? Why?' ripped to the tits on angst and adrenalin, Jesus Jones return with their mix of hedonism and conscience, taking all those hankering hardcore fans back to, ooh, about five or six years ago. Three songs in and only the terminally trendy are left chin-jutting and head-nodding at the back.
Tonight, however, is no self-indulgent, back-to-the-old-days, greatest hits showcase for the leather-trousered, bleached-blond Mike Edwards. There are new songs splattered through the set, songs like 'Addiction, Obsession And Me', songs that are stompier than an entire continent of testosterone-addled rampaging wildebeest and cause even the coolest of the cool to lose it completely.
The new single's called 'The Next Big Thing', but going by the sheer ferocity and guts exhibited tonight, it seems that it doesn't really need to be said. Right here, right now, there's no other place you could imagine even vaguely wanting to be.

Review of The Next Big Thing - Possibly from Melody Maker - Circa June 1997
One can only surmise that the way Jesus Jones feel about bombastic techno-pop is similar to the way Karel Poborsky feels about that pissed-on mooring rope he calls hair: you know, people keep telling you it's awful, you're wasting your time, no one really likes it, you could do so much better, you're not living in Eastern Europe anymore/it's not the early Nineties anymore (delete where applicable)...on and on and on, until you're so f***ed off that sticking with what you know becomes almost a point of principle. This isn't half as bad as it might well be, for all the serious attention it's likely to get. And it's certainly not as bad as I was expecting. But, when Mike Edwards sings, I just know that somehow, in a way I can't even explain, there's his world and then there's my world, and they will never, ever make peace. Besides. Baseball caps.

Review of Already - Possibly from Select - Circa June 1997
Mike Edwards and company seemed to have the world, and particularly America, at their feet at the turn of the decade when Real Real Real and Right Here Right Now both went Top 5, and stadium after stadium craved their always energetic live performances. But since 1993's third album Perverse things have gone very wrong for the Joneses, with poor sales, record company friction, and band splinters coming thick and fast. Finally they've recorded an album that Food Records have accepted. Tired, tune-free and terribly compressed, Already is not a record likely to please very many others, though. The formula is instantly familiar, but the musical fizz and sparkle of old has evaporated and even the lyrics are devoid of the eager impatience once the group's hallmark. ** David Roberts.

Interview - Alan Doughty - Bass Magazine - September 1997
The records stopped appearing and the name fell away from the lips and the playlists. What happened to Jesus Jones? On the eve of a new nationwide tour, heralding the relaunch of one of the most commercial British outfits in recent years, Alan Doughty, Jesus Jones' avuncular 4-stronger, possessed of a no-nonsense attitude and a truly infectious laugh, attempted to explain the reasoning behind the band's recent submarine act.
"We drafted two copies of an album that the record company really didn't like. When Perverse didn't do as well as expected, Mike Edwards (Singer) decided that the '94 album would be what he wanted to write, involving a lot more techno, but again they turned it down, saying there weren't enough singles. So Mike wrote another 16 songs, but that didn't work either; it lacked attitude and just sounded bland. They turned that down, too! By now Mike was pretty disillusioned, but we eventually amalgamated the best songs from each, used a different producer, and we now feel we have an excellent album (as yet unreleased), thank God, but it just took that long to do."
So is Jesus Jones actually Mike's band? The answer isn't deifinite, but there ain't no doubt that the frontman holds the ultimate ace, as Doughty explains.
"I don't feel it is exclusively, but that is the way it tends to work, because he's the main writer and very good at arguing his points. Failing that, he'll just downright refuse to do something, anyway!"
Jesus Jones' techno element is mainly sequencer bass-rooted, so does Alan sometimes feel that interferes significantly with his 'domain'?
(Laughs) "Yes, though not as much as it used to. At first there was so much sequencing going on, it was hard to rise above that. Sometimes I was supporting the sequencing, and that's not a great feeling. At the time it didn't matter so much because we were successful, playing big gigs and it was a kick, but slowly it bothered me more. On this album, there's hardly any sequencing there. There is, however, a lot of strong bass lines that I did in the studio with producer Mike Phillips, because he's a perfectionist, a harsh guy to record with, very tiring. I was a bit pissed off with the production of 'Wishing It Away' on the new album, because they took a lot of the bass out, and I was 12 hours on that, but I guess I was playing too much all the way through and they wanted it very mellow. Now it just comes in right at the end, but it's my favourite song, giving a lot more depth to the album. It's a very rich-sounding song and that's something we still haven't mastered yet," he reflects, with commendable honesty.
"The first band was getting together and the bass was left, so I picked that and, of course, we never formed the band! But it stuck and I love it. I wouldn't feel right playing anything else. Paul McCartney was my inspiration all the way. You can't really beat him. Now Flea, obviously. Originally I listened to Roger Glover and Geezer Butler, then it was Mick Karn. I went totally fretless in the '80s and copied a lot of his stuff. Fantastic! I actually got quite good at it, and it was very weird coming back to my original Ibanez fretless bass for this album, after 10 years or so. The way I used to play was completely different, very flowery kind of stuff; whereas this is direct and straightforward".
I bought a second-hand Music Man Stingray, years back, which I've still got, and that was it, I'd found the bass I loved. Music Man set me up with a deal and I got a five-string and another Stingray as back-up, but somebody stole that, so now I'm using a Sabre - the one they discontinued - and this, apparently, was the last one out of the factory. There's something great about it, it's got a slightly narrower neck, two great pick-ups, but it's still got the bollocks of a Stingray, plus I like the sound a bit better. I put that through a couple of Gallien-Krueger 800-RB heads, and a Trace stack, a 4x10" and a 15" cab."
"Actually Whiff, the new drummer, likes to get more involved and discuss the parts a lot more. Gen would never really talk about what I was playing or how it fitted with the drums. Whiff is a lot more critical and makes me more conscious of time-keeping, and it's helped to tighten us up. He's still learning the parts, although he did fill in on part of the '91 American tour. He's always been with us; he was the drum tech, and to be drummer in this band you also have to know technology and programming. It's not a straightforward drumming gig, it's a pain in the arse."
Interview - Website Headcleaner - October 1997
This interview took place over email with Mike Edwards of Jesus Jones on Tuesday
October 14 1997.
Thanks to him and to all others involved for their generosity and time.
What have Jesus Jones been up to of late? Are the band in fact still together?
It's been a weird year for us, lots of hanging about and waiting for things to happen...which never quite did. For most of the world, all of the promotion and touring (what of it there was) for this album has been and gone and so there's just about nothing going on now. However, we still haven't had a release in the US (it's due early next year) and so until we get a crack at was our most successful part of the world, we are most definitely still together.
Do you feel vindicated or do you feel a little bitter now that bands such as
The Chemical Brothers, Prodigy etc are being so successful with essentially
very similar stuff to what you were coming out with over 5 years ago? Do you
feel that Jesus Jones were a little before their time?
I don't feel bitter at all, I think there are major differences between Jesus Jones and those bands. As for the Prodigy, what seems to be ignored is that they were actually hugely successful before the mainstream press woke up to them a couple of years ago - they were a big influence on us hence their '93 remix of Zeroes & Ones and so it's ridiculous to suggest they are following in our footsteps. I don't think we were pioneers, ahead of our time : we were just paying attention back then.
At the height of your success you were lumped in with the baggy scene, together
with the rest of the "indie/dance" mob. Did you feel any affinity with the other
bands of that era? Was there any animosity shown towards you by bands that saw
themselves as being more "serious", for want of a better word?
I hated being thought of as part of that scene and it used to really annoy me when Americans automatically assumed we were from Manchester. I didn't feel any affinity at all with the baggy scene, to me it was just '60s retro stuff with a different beat whereas I felt we were embracing the technology and the sounds of dance music as an integral part of the songwriting. I don't remember any animosity from other bands, at least not face to face (although some twat of an American radio DJ stirred it up a bit by inventing a conversation with me describing the Happy Mondays as so drunk / drugged as to be incompetent - we had a gig with them the same night). The notion of a band being more "serious" is really a press one which unfortunately spreads to the readership. There are always differences of opinion about the quality of other bands' music and success and competition always distort the picture but given that all bands have to go through the same process to get success, it's stupid to think of one band as being more worthy than another.
What would you consider the highlight of your musical career? There are a few because of the different ways of looking at that. The simple ones are things like having a number 1 album (Doubt) or single (Right Here, Right Now) or playing to 72,000 people at Wembley Stadium. There are a few songs of mine that I still really like and am really glad someone else didn't write them ; Info Freako, Right Here, Right Now, Idiot Stare, Zeroes and Ones, Wishing It Away, Top Of The World, February. And for the albums, I'm really proud of the last two, Perverse and Already for being done properly and as I wanted them, not hurried and shoddy like the first two. Perverse I like also because of the strength of the vision, the experimentation and because I was consistently truthful to the aims I had for that. Already, I think of it as being the most consistent album, the one with the best songs.
Do you enjoy playing live or do you prefer the experimentation and gadget-twiddling
that the studio affords you?
Both and for the different types of satisfaction you get from them. A dubious analogy is to ask someone if they prefer love or sex as there are similar parallels.
Any ambitions left unfulfilled? Mountain-biking round the world like some indie/techno
Michael Palin, perhaps?
Unfortunately for the sake of my happiness I always have greater ambitions than are realisable in one lifetime. Yep, being an indie/techno Michael Palin (Mike on a bike) definitely appeals, as does having more hit records, touring the world again, designing web sites, writing, being a halfway decent dad, winning more mountain bike races and...maybe I'll stop there for now.
What is your favourite song that you recorded. Me, I still have a soft spot
for Info Freako (and I still have the skateboard stickers too).
OK so I've really answered this one already but...it's a choice between Wishing It Away from Already and Idiot Stare from Perverse. Or maybe it's...
What do you see the future having in store for Jesus Jones - and for yourself?
Very unsure right now. All I'm thinking about as far as the band's concerned is the US release and tour. What's complicating things is that EMI in the UK have offered me a solo deal but like I said, until we do things in the US, everything else goes on hold.
Do you see the internet taking off as a means of band promotion?
At the moment, it's a pretty under-used medium with a lot of bands having a grainy picture, a few words and not a lot more.
Do you think the future lies in bands releasing material over the net, or do
you think it's all hype?
The best promotion Already has had has been on the internet, either through things like this or via our web site. Admittedly, the non-digital promotion for this album has been crap but I'm certain the web is the way forward nonetheless. However, it will still really only work for bands that have reached a level of recognition that means people will have a name to search for, so mainstream press, TV, radio will always be important. However, once a band gets that far (and a small bit of press or airplay will do) then the internet has the ability to outdo all the other media by being able to BE all the other media ; sound, image and print.
Many thanks for your time and patience in answering these questions. Finally,
if you had to sum up the spirit and manifesto of Jesus Jones in one sentence,
what would that be?
Right here, right now.

The Latest
Helen Hayes Award Recommended, The Electric Baby lights Up DC
Rorschach Theatre's Production of The Electric Baby, is running through May 20th in my hometown of DC. Celia Wren of The Washington Post calls the play 'poignant' and 'poetic' Both and DC Theatrescene gave Rorschach's production ✭✭✭✭✭!, calling it, "warm, cryptic and disarmingly funny, due in no small part to Zadravec's strong writing and character development," John Stoltenberg of DC Metro Theatre Arts, who also gave the production ✭✭✭✭✭! called the play, "beautifully ambiguous, hauntingly honest... this is a play and a production purely from and for the heart. We are drawn into a drama that does not let us go even after it's done."
Upcoming public Readings of The Boat
April 11th The Working Theater presents a reading of The Boat directed by Daniella Topol, featuring Danny Wolohan, Nadia Bowers, Sam Lilja, Ted Koch and LeeAnn Hutchinson. Reservations Recommended.
June 12th The Barrow Group presents a reading of The Boat directed by K. Lorrel Manning, featuring actors from The Barrow Group community. Reservations recommended.
I have been workshopping pieces of the play this Spring in Playground at The Lark, alongside playwrights, Same Chanse, Mary Hamilton and Crystal Skillman. Directors this semester included Hamilton's own Patrick Vassel, Jenny Koons, Shelley Butler-Hyler, and Sturgis Warner as well as an incredible crew of brave and hilarious actors.
Ovation Award Recommended, Colony Collapse receives incredible BUZZ for its world premiere production
Directed by Jessica Kubzansky Colony Collapse premiered Feb 20- March 20 at The Theatre @ Boston Court. Not only was it an incredibly fun and fruitful collaboration with a wonderful organization, the play and production were a critical success, which feels so good, knowing how hard all of the artists involved worked on this production.
An LA Times Critic's Choice, Charles McNulty called it a "riveting new play," both "luminescent" and "highly imaginative," and said mine was "a name to remember." Arts in LA described the play's "ineffaceable countercultural beauty" and "blindingly poetic writing, which immediately recalls Tennessee Williams's ability to evoke beautifully diaphanous language and indelible imagery, then infuse it into the story of sad, miscreant characters grasping for hope and searching for love despite all odds."
Stage Raw, said, "The complex and brutal dynamics of this highly dysfunctional yet entirely relatable family unfold beautifully." Saying,"The play feels almost like a mash-up of Oedipus, Netflix's Making A Murderer, and a Sam Shepard play." Broadwayworld.com called it "stunning and engrossing" The Pasadena Star-News said it was "beautifully constructed, intense and absorbing from start to finish"
Some reviews, like Frances Baum Nicholson's in Stagestruck described the play in much the same way that reviewers described Honey Brown Eyes "The sense of loss, which permeates the play is quite palpable, and very intense. Yet, though it concentrates on a family, which cannot help but destruct, the periphery balances this with a strong sense of, if not redemption, at least the possibility of moving forward. In a world where these kinds of intimate losses happen virtually every day, perhaps that is what one must cling to, if only to avoid the collapse of one's own colony." Even the music reviewer from Stage and Cinema said, "the fear is so palpable I want to round up everyone I know and show them how powerful theater can be."
THE KILrOYS CoNTINUE TO kick ass.
Colony Collapse, included on the The 2015 Kilroys List of outstanding plays by women for 2015 will also be a part of The Kilroys new Monologue book, featuring monologues from plays from both the 2014 and 2015 Kilroy's list. The book will be published by TCG.

Quicker use of defibrillator improves survival rate in some cardiac arrest cases
By Russell Rian / October 2011
Paramedics who deliver defibrillator shocks within three minutes of arriving at the scene of a cardiac arrest can boost survival in some cases, a new study involving UT Southwestern emergency physicians reveals.
People with a potentially fatal abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation have higher survival rates when paramedics perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while setting up defibrillator machines, then deliver electrical shocks within three minutes of arrival. The findings are reported in a closer analysis of smaller groups in a study that appears in the Sept. 1 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"Survival definitely declines for those who get their shock after three minutes, so one emergency medical services worker can continue CPR while the other EMS worker is getting the defibrillator out and attached. That generally takes about a minute to a minute and a half," said Dr. Ahamed Idris, Professor of Emergency Medicine who heads the Dallas-Fort Worth arm of the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC), funded by the National Institutes of Health. "If they can give the shock in about two minutes of arrival, they'll be maximizing survival."
The consortium is a $120 million joint U.S.-Canadian series of clinical trials aimed at identifying the best on-scene practices for traumas and cardiac arrest cases. The Dallas-Fort Worth arm has the highest enrollment in the U.S., with about 4,500 people enrolled annually.
Dr. Idris, a pioneer in resuscitation research, directs the Dallas-Fort Worth Center for Resuscitation Research, which has revolutionized the list of critical steps that paramedics should take within a few minutes.
Between 2006 and 2009, survival rates in Dallas-area cities improved by 50 percent. Irving's have improved by nearly 60 percent, Mesquite doubled its survival rate and Carrollton has quadrupled its survival rates. The Dallas-Fort Worth ROC has focused its efforts on training area firefighters and paramedics to administer the best possible basic life support CPR.
"Performing CPR well is like a highly coordinated dance. You have to get the steps down," Dr. Idris said.
Before 2006, paramedics worked on airway passages and rushed to get the patient into the ambulance so they could race to the hospital. But research has shown it is better to keep the patient at the scene, start CPR and then deliver shocks if needed before focusing on airways.
Other factors that can improve survival include spending at least 60 percent of each minute of CPR doing chest compressions and reducing the intervals between the last compression and the initial defibrillator shock to less than 10 seconds.
Also involved in the investigation was Dr. Ray Fowler, Professor of Emergency Medicine and of Emergency Medicine Education in the UT Southwestern School of Health Professions, and Co-Chief of the Section on EMS, Disaster Medicine, and Homeland Security at UT Southwestern.
In an accompanying study in the journal that involved Drs. Idris and Paul Pepe, Chairman of Emergency Medicine, researchers found no advantage to using an impedance threshold device. The device is designed to help generate negative pressure similar to breathing, to improve blood flow to the heart.

The RMP is a comprehensive document developed to guide Reclamation and the Commission in managing land and water resources. The RMP will include long term management goals and objectives for the 4SW Reservoirs, developed through input from you, the public, addressing the needs of all project users and ensuring the protection of the resources.
Although most resources remain the same since the original RMP's, the type and frequency of usage has increased. Development of a new RMP will help identify issues and management alternatives in order to establish guidelines that will ensure effective land management of these multiple-use reservoirs.
The development of RMP's for the 4SW Reservoirs will take approximately a year and a half to complete.
Not necessarily. It is possible that some management practices may be changed as a result of the RMP planning efforts, however we don't anticipate any major changes. Rather, the development of the RMP's offers us an opportunity to review current management, public issues and needs, and the condition of resources at the 4SW Reservoirs. Consulting and gathering data from the Commission, state and county officials, users and any interested parties, will assist managers in making knowledgeable decisions and formulating effective guidelines for the management of the reservoir's natural resources.
A focus group is a team of individuals that have a common interest in the use and stewardship of a particular resource. The 4SW Reservoirs focus groups will be comprised of small teams of agency individuals. The groups will examine and discuss the technical data and public input gathered in order to develop proposed management alternatives to be considered. The management of specific resources, will be addressed including:
Public involvement is a critical element in the development of RMP's for the reservoirs. We welcome your suggestions, comments, and/or opinions at anytime throughout the process.
The input and suggestions concerning these reservoirs, by users like you, will provide valuable information to managers to help them ensure appropriate use and stewardship of the 4SW Reservoirs.
Yes, it is required by law. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the administering agency to complete the appropriate environmental study anytime an action is proposed on Federal lands or where Federal funds will be expended.
An RMP will be developed for each reservoir. However, the management alternatives for the 4SW Reservoirs will be collectively identified and evaluated in a single Environmental Assessment (EA) document. The EA will consider the impacts to the environment and also the political and economic feasibility.
When the draft EA is completed, the public will have 30 days to review and comment on the proposed management alternatives. All comments will be considered for inclusion in the alternatives outlined in the final EA
We will keep you involved in the development of the RMP's through newsletters like this one, special mailings, informational open houses, press releases, and on our web site at www.gp.usbr.gov.
The public is invited to attend open houses to be held in McCook, Nebraska. Dates and times will be announced. The open houses will be held to gather and discuss your ideas regarding management of the 4SW Reservoirs.
In addition to the Web site and local newspapers, meetings will be announced by information posted at the 4SW marinas and information kiosks in the recreation areas.
The Resource Management Plan Newsletter is not published on any set schedule but as the process evolves or issues develop.

Washington, DC (April 14, 2014) — Children whose human rights have been violated will be able to bring their grievances directly to the United Nations after a historic international treaty entered into force today. However, World Vision is calling on more nations to ratify the treaty so children in every country can access international justice.
The treaty, called the Third Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a Communications Procedure — or OP3 CRC for short — sets out an international complaints procedure for child rights violations. It allows children from States that have ratified the protocol to bring complaints directly to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. The UN will then investigate the claim and can direct governments to provide remedies.
Despite the near-universal ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, it was the only international human rights treaty that had no means for victims to seek justice when they have not found a solution at the national level.
"Every day we witness violations of children's most basic rights. Children are fighting to survive, let alone thrive. They experience discrimination, violence in their communities, schools and homes, as well as a lack of access to basic services," says World Vision child rights expert Sara Austin, who will address a special event at the UN in New York today to mark the entry into force of the treaty.
"Tragically, the rights of children are often neglected by decision makers and children's views and opinions ignored. This new treaty gives children the ability to be heard directly by the United Nations and have a say in holding governments accountable."
So far 10 countries — the threshold required for the treaty to become international law — have ratified, including Albania, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Gabon, Germany, Monténégro, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and Thailand. An additional 45 countries have signed the protocol, indicating their intention to ratify.
"We congratulate the first 10 countries that have ratified the protocol, and we urge all others to follow this positive example. States must demonstrate their commitment to promoting and protecting children's rights by ratifying this new treaty so more children can access international justice," says Austin.
About World Vision:
World Vision is a Christian relief, development, and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice.

Less than a quarter of U.S. online adult today state that sales associates are the best source for product information. But give those workers more technology and shoppers view them with more respect.
As part of Forrester's ongoing research on the 'the digital store,' we recently examined the role of retail sales associates to understand their impact in the age of the customer. There's no doubt that technology has dramatically impacted the way in which consumers discover, explore, buy, and engage with brands, products, and services. However, the impact of technology on sales associates is unclear, as is the degree to which the role of the sales associate needs to evolve to leverage these new capabilities. However a number of trends have become clear while researching this role, including:
The role of the associate will change from an information provider to a facilitator of engagement. The sales associate is no longer the sole provider of information in stores: Customers can now find product information via their mobile device without the help of an associate. This scenario provides an opportunity for the sales associate to pivot and drive increased engagement with the customer.
Digitally connected sales associates are trusted. Less than a quarter of U.S. online adult today state that sales associates are the best source for product information. However, when armed with mobile devices, the associate is seen as a trusted advisor. The breadth of information available to sales associates via mobile devices allows them to consider a broader array of information when making product recommendations to customers in the store.
The associate is the conduit between enterprise data and the customer. Along with leveraging product and customer information to provide a more personalized and relevant experience, the associate has an opportunity to collect customer intelligence and report that insight back to the enterprise. By making associates more strategic, omnichannel retailers can gain a competitive advantage over eCommerce pure plays and allow the organization to leverage the personal interactions in the store to provide relevant messaging in all touchpoints.
There are many roadblocks still in the way of enabling a digitally enabled sales associate. Product and customer data often isn't visible across the enterprise, legacy systems are hard-wired and cannot incorporate new capabilities without significant upgrades, and a lack of associate training means execution is challenging and in some cases unsuccessful. But while we are still in the early stages of the digital store transformation, we expect a steady stream of innovation to occur in regards to the digital store and the sales associate.

John McAfee — the antivirus software pioneer who is on the run from police seeking to quiz him about the murder of a neighbour — is about to do the unthinkable: He is about to take time off blogging to concentrate on being chased by police.
The billionaire inventor of McAfee antivirus software told his friend Chad Essley yesterday morning that "something had happened" and that he needed to move to another location.
He may be out of contact for a few days.
He continues to evade Belizean authorities who want to question him in connection with the recent murder of a fellow US citizen.
He has railed against the government of the tiny Caribbean country that he now calls home, and vowed to uncover the "injustices" to which he claims he and other residents have been subjected.
On Saturday, he launched The Hinterland, a blog that not only details his account of life on the run, but also provides links to articles and other online material decrying the Belizean government.
Mr McAfee says he is still in Belize. A recent blog entry even has fanciful descriptions of his camouflage: "I darkened the skin of my face, neck and hands carefully with shoe polish... I stuffed my cheeks with chewed bubblegum stuck to the outside of my upper and lower molars, making my face appear much fatter.
"I feel an obligation to try to... expose the abuses that have occurred to myself, to other foreigners and to Belizeans," he said. "There is a history of governments changing when spotlights are placed on their actions."
Mr McAfee is wanted for questioning over the murder of Gregory Faull, 52, a retired builder from Florida, who was shot metres from the millionaire's home more than a week ago. Police say McAfee is not a suspect, but is needed to help with their enquiries.
Officials say the poisoning of four of Mr McAfee's dogs may be linked to the murder of Faull, who lived down the beach.
Mr McAfee says the government wants him out of the way: "They would like an investment giving the party in power all the money and letting them distribute it and keeping what they wish. I donated directly," he said. "Nobody was able to skim any cream. Nobody was able to get anything."
McAfee says he has given authorities about US$7m in donations
He claims authorities began targeting him in April when the Gang Suppression Unit, a branch of the police, stormed one of his properties in search of drugs and illegal firearms.
A month later, he says that he was accused of producing antibiotics without a licence when, in fact, he says he was working on topical antiseptics.

AFL legend Kevin Sheedy is putting together a team of the best Noongar footballers of all time to mark this weekend's national celebration of the game's indigenous stars.
The team will include some of WA's most famous Aboriginal players including, Graham Farmer, Stephen Michael, Peter Matera, Barry Cable and current Fremantle defender Michael Johnson.
Despite thorough background work to date, the team is yet to be completed. And despite once famously waving his Essendon jacket at West Coast fans, making a throat-slitting gesture towards former Eagle Mitchell White and tying down a wind-sock at the Bombers' Windy Hill home before a game against the WA club, Sheedy will ask football fans from around the State to help him finalise his lineup. Noongar people are from WA's south-west corner.

Yep, it's the Morgan Stanley guys in my guess. I would expect big things from these guys. Especially given that it's a startup, you would probably have the kind of access to these three that even senior associates / junior VPs back at MS hoped for.
