Photos: One and done, Stevenson scores one-punch KO over Dawson
By Matt Casavant and Dave Spencer
Photos: Herby Whyne
Challenger Adonis Stevenson (21-1, 17 KOs) scored a one-punch knockout in the very first round to dethrone WBC light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson (31-3, 17 KOs) on Saturday night at the Belle Center in Montreal, Canada. A left hand dropped Dawson and he got up wobbly prompting the referee to wave it off after 76 seconds. After the fight, the new champion called out Bernard Hopkins and Andre Ward.
After the fight, referee Michael Griffin said he wanted to give Dawson every chance he could to continue. "He didn't respond, he didn't have his legs."
Unbeaten former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa (23-0, 16 KOs) won a twelve round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Darley Perez (28-1, 19 KOs) to claim the vacant WBA interim lightweight title. Gamboa scored a flash knockdown in round one and that was pretty much the end of the highlights. Scores were 116-111, 116-111, 115-112. Gamboa has now won WBA interim belts in three weight divisions.
Middleweight David Lemieux (29-2 28KO) scored his 28th stoppage in 29 wins with a first round destruction over an over-matched Robert Swierzbinski (11-2 3KO) of Poland. A glancing left hand ended things officially with Lemieux scoring the third of three knockdowns at 2:21 of the opening round. It was the powerful middleweight's 25th stoppage in the first two rounds. A debilitating body shot scored the first knockdown and had the visiting fighter swaying like a palm tree in a tropical storm afterwards, retreating for cover and tasting the canvas twice more with wave after wave of power shots.
Puerto Rican Jr.Lightweight prospect Jose Pedraza (13-0, 9KOs) adds to his undefeated record by scoring a 7th round TKO (corner stoppage) over his opponent, Sergio Villanueva (25-3-2, 13KOs). Pedraza was able to systematically breakdown Villanueva landing multiple combinations and punishing body blows. The first few rounds provided good back and forth action as both fighters landed punches at close range. However, a tactical change by Pedraza who elected to switch to the southpaw stance in the 4th round proved to be wise decision as Villanueva was unable to defend the left to the body. The 24 year old, dropped Villanueva in the 5th round and although the Mexican fighter demonstrated courage in getting up he ultimately was outgunned. Multiple knockdowns to the body in round 7 forced Villanueva's corner to throw in the towel in order to prevent their fighter from sustaining further damage. Official time of the stoppage was 2:59 of round 7.
In an entertaining tilt between two Quebec junior middleweights, Sebastien Bouchard (7-0 2KO) won a 58-56, 59-55, 59-55 decision over Francesco Cotroni (7-2 4KO). It was the 26 year-old Bouchard who was the aggressor throughout the contest, but while he was able to score with some good right hands, Cotroni proved to be an elusive target for much of the contest.
Dider Bence improved to (9-0, 3KOs), defeating previously undefeated Eric Barrak (7-1,6KOs) in convincing one-sided fashion, scoring multiple knockdowns en route to a 5th round TKO victory. The local heavyweight showdown had seen its fair share of bad blood between the two leading into tonight, but Barrak failed to deliver on his promise to KO Bence as he was thoroughly dominated in all aspects. Bence came out focused and sharp, content to out box and out jab the tentative Barrak early. Bence took control emphatically in the 3rd round scoring a powerful jab-right hand combination that floored his opponent. The 4th round proved to be more of the same as a winded Barrak was unable to land anything of note to keep Bence's attack at bay. In the 5th round Barrak most likely sensing the fight slip away, landed an intentional headbutt that resulted in a one point penalty. The 25 year old Bence kept his composure and landed a powerful hook-right hand combination later in the same round that ended Barrak's night. Time of the stoppage was 1:55 of round 5.
Two-time Olympian Artur Beterbiev was impressive in his pro debut as the light-heavyweight scored three knockdowns on his way to a TKO victory at 2:21 of the second round over Christian Cruz (12-12-1 10KO). The Russian born fighter was impressive in both style and execution of a fan friendly arsenal of punches that never gave Cruz a chance to go anywhere but down. The Sacramento fighter found himself on the canvas to end the first thanks to a solid right hand and was right back there to start the second. After seeing there man go down too easily thanks to what was more of a shove, Cruz's corner stepped in and stopped the fight.

How does it work?
Combining exercise and computer simulation, this exercise is perfect for those who are secret gaming geeks.
Trixter Xdream is the UK's first indoor interactive bike that realistically stimulates the experience of riding outdoors. An LCD screen is mounted in front of the Xdream's handlebars, allowing you to fix your eyes on computer generated scenery as you steer through 400 Cycling trails. From deserts to the highlands-you name it, you can ride through it!
As an added bonus, the on-screen bike replicates your every move (so when you turn right, the virtual you does too), making the experience seem all the more realistic and exhilarating!
You can choose to battle easy or difficult courses depending on your ability, whilst negotiating corners and potential hazards along the way. You'll probably forget about all the hard work you are doing!
The exergaming with the Xdream bikes offer a full body workout, burning more calories than a standard exercise bike and helping to both tone your arms and strengthen your core muscles. Plus, you're likely to have more fun speeding through multiple landscapes in one session too!
Is it for me?
Exergaming is perfect for those who sometimes find exercising a little tiresome and want to add a little excitement to their workout. You do not need to be computer savvy, but those who want a sedate, slow paced workout should look elsewhere.
Good to know...
Although Xdream bikes cannot simulate weather conditions, they do translate track conditions and riding surfaces into chances in bike movement and stability. Cool, eh?

A year ago, the New York Rangers were feared by every other team in the N.H.L . Their style of play using body checks and young speed in front of Lundqvist allowed them to punish their opponents. If they didn't bring the intensity at the start someone (Brandon Prust most likely) would drop the gloves and the Rangers game came back to life. After this dismal locked out season, the Blueshirts have lost their identity and are in search of a new one that provides them with offense. Where the Rangers started to go down hill was losing their toughest player, Brandon Prust summer 2012. He's not the biggest guy in the league, however he had the most fights in the N.H.L. in 2011-2012. Prust would sacrifice his body in order for his team to gain some momentum and it worked. Unfortunately for the Rangers, he was an UFA after 2012 and was offered a $10 million contract from the Canadians. A huge step up from his previous deal of $800,000 you can't blame him for taking that deal. You also can't blame New York for letting him go, Prust is not worth $10 million. So they lose Prust and get back on track in the 2012 offseason to grab Rick Nash by trading key Ranger role players in Dubinsky and Anisimov. After a disappointing season from the two, trading Dubinsky's grit and Anisimov's finesse it was a fair deal. When the Rangers traded Dubi, they also traded their last hope of using a physical style of play to find success. The Rangers need Nash to put up points and he was successful this year with 42 points, second behind Derek Stepan. However, the original idea was for Nash to work alongside Gaborik and Richards. With Gaborik gone, even with a lackluster season the Rangers trade to add more depth wasn't enough to make a deep playoff run. Brad Richards is another story as he looked lost in almost every game he played this season, especially failing to lead the pathetic power play. He couldn't keep up with the pace of the N.H.L and the bad news for Richards is the game isn't getting any slower and he's not getting any younger. Richards, who was expected to be bought out to save the Rangers a risk of taking a massive cap hit and being stuck with another Chris Drury. He's still eligible for a buyout after 2013-2014 so it is up to him to determine his future. The last act was firing John Tortorella and basically swapping coaches with the hiring of Alain Vigneault Vancouver's former head coach. Taking out Torts's hard hitting and constant fore checking system out of the organization provides a clean slate for the Rangers to find a new way to utilize their talent. What Vigneault will bring to the table is a mystery but he may want to start with the extra man. The Rangers have been busy this offseason, locking up Ryan McDonough long term with a six year deal and bringing back Carl Hagelin for another two. They still need to sign team point leader Derek Stepan who will be essential for another winning season in New York. Also, the Rangers need to give Hank an extension, on of the best goalie in the world and a fierce. If the Rangers fail to make a run and the King is not signed don't be surprised if he tests the market hard.

Save your money and get the rod or hinge pin from Home Depot and make your own..
Has anyone seen/used one of these? I have the pistol pockets on the door of my safe but it only holds 8 pistol/revolvers. They are now all occupied and I hate to just leave the new handguns laying in the safe.
I was curious it this would harm the rifling in the barrel or would have any other adverse effects on a handgun??? It looks like it could be a solution to small issue for me.
Oops here is the link: http://www.storemoreguns.com/index.p...iew=store&ck=3
If it is to be...It is up to me!
Save your money and get the rod or hinge pin from Home Depot and make your own..
I have a couple of those. They work very well. I don't think they will damage your gun because they are covered with a plastic material, so as long as that covering is in tact there is no metal to metal contact. The only 'problem' I have ever had is sometimes when withdraw the gun from it, it will stick in the barrel (might be caused by me by not pulling it straight out) and pull off the shelf. I am thinking about bending the wire a bit that goes over the shelf to help prevent this.
I also have thought about making more using steel rod, bending it and then covering it completely in a product like Plasti-Dip or some such product to protect the barrel.

Rotorhead if your a pilot check with an avionics technician and get some

If your a technician then you already know..
Yes, have thought about that...also comes in colors!!! Somewhat more expensive than plasti-dip, but would probably more durable.
Yes, Pilot and A&P

Good ideas. Looks like a new weekend project coming up soon.
I guess I need to make a jig from some lag bolts or screws and a 2X6. what size brass rod would you recommend, 1/4 in or larger? Guns range from 22lr to 45LC. Also wondering if brass is soft enough to bend without heat?

How timely! I've got similar problems that need solving.

2002 July Babe of the Month
Darrin Henderson of Montgomery, Alabama, all but begged us "not to let these two women down." We're not sure what it was worth to Darrin's girlfriend Ginger (left), and her friend Brooke (right), but Darrin sure didn't do them or us any favors by sending in this photo on cheap, lo-res ink-jet paper. Despite the image quality, we could tell Darrin is obviously a lucky man, Not only did these two bikini-clad babes risk serious burns crawling in his Deep Evergreen paint job, the did it even though his car is fairly stock. Just 3.73 gears, under-drive pulleys, Flowmaster mufflers, an H-pipe, and a K&N filter are all he has to impress the ladies. Just imagine how many ladies he could attract if he pumped a little more horsepower under that hood.

Louis Roederer Cristal 2007
Galloni 97+
Long-time Chef de Caves Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon has produced yet another in a string of superb Champagnes with the 2007 Cristal. Rich, powerful and enveloping, the 2007 takes hold of all the senses and never lets up. The aromatics alone are captivating, but then the wine opens on the palate, revealing layer after layer of flavor to match a multi-dimensional, kaleidoscopic personality that will leave Champagne lovers weak at the knees. The 2007 is 58% Chardonnay and 42% Pinot Noir, which is to say a bit more Chardonnay-leaning than is the norm. The 2007 is striking today, but it should also age effortlessly for several decades. It is also without question one of the very finest new releases of the year.
95 points Wine Enthusiast
*Cellar Selection* Although it is still young, this vintage of Cristal promises great things. There's an impressive balance between ripe fruit and crisp acidity, rich and food friendly, but also a fine apéritif. Apricot and grapefruit flavors are round and rich, but with considerable minerality as well. This is a beautiful wine that can improve with age, at least through 2030.
95 points Wine Spectator
*Collectibles* This elegant version shows beautiful texture and a sense of finesse despite the underlying power of vibrant acidity and smoky minerality. The palate offers a finely layered mesh of blackberry, poached pear, almond pastry, lemon zest and pickled ginger flavors. Drink now through 2028.

New England Aster
Common Goldenrod
Stiff Goldenrod
All native to your (our) part of the country. Go easy on the common goldenrod seed - they proliferate by rhizomes and can quickly overrun your space.
I plant buckwheat . It is not a perennial but it is cheap and blooms fast . I believe it will produce a darker honey .
I normally do 3 plantings a week apart from 1 another , I believe it will flower in 25 days .
Agastache my bees love the stuff Blue Fortune is a great variety
Russian Sage if it works for your zone. It is the last good meal my bees get, well after first frost.
What hawkster said. Its called Anise Hyssop, they sell it at homedepot and lowes during the summer. Its a great plant! Mine bloom from july-november!! They always have bees. If i had lots of land i would plant an acre of the stuff!
Fireweed is excellent and makes very clear honey. Only one thing it is a very invasive plant it consumed 5 acres in 2 year time.
In the fall I killed an acre of grass/hay and am going to sow yellow and white sweet clover (hubam), crimson clover and lavender when all signs of grass are gone. The clovers are annual but are supposed to be very good for bees.
A word on goldenrod - last year I thought there was a dead animal in one of my hives. It stank to high heaven. Took the hive apart looking for something, walked all the ditchlines and fields looking for something rotten. Turned out to be goldenrod the bees harvested. The honey from that hive was sooooo bad I've just been feeding it back to the bees. It was beautiful honey but tasted like dirty gym socks (or so I'd imagine). Just my opinion though. Here's a link to plants for bees that I've found useful http://www.themelissagarden.com/TMG_Vetaley031608.htm
There are many that the bees will go to; but remember to have any impact on your hive you will be planting an entire acre+ of whatever it is. A few flowers around your yard will not do much for them.
That said I plant plenty around my yard because they look good and my wife enjoys the fresh bouquets I bring her.
I would also second the goldenrod opinion. That honey is not for people, only bees.

text: OK, The Solenoid on my starter went just before going away from home. I disconnected the battery and left the truck for about a month. I just returned home and finished replacing my starter? Now my service air bags light is on (on dash and DIC) and my blower fan is not working on any speed? Is this related to the battery being disconnected for a month? I have not yet driven anywhere and it has gotten much colder since originally disconnecting the battery. Thanks

Post of the Day
June 19, 1998
From our
Infoseek Board
Reply To:
Author: TMFNico
This is a complex deal, with more to it than Disney acquiring a 43% stake in Infoseek. In addition to $70 million in cash, the deal is ultimately being "powered by" Disney's Starwave assets, which include the creative and technical assets behind ABC.com, ABCNEWS.com, Disney.com, Disney's Blast Online, ESPN.com, and other online sites and services.
Starwave, which is almost fully owned by Disney, is in effect being merged with Infoseek. Disney is in turn receiving 25.8 shares, or 43%, of Infoseek and a minority position on the Infoseek board. Disney will also "under certain circumstances" have the option to "achieve a majority stake in Infoseek over time."
|"The deal seems structured as a half-way or open-ended step for Disney, leaving great flexibility with respect to subsequent steps."
My guess is that those circumstances will materialize at Disney's discretion, based not only on how this specific arrangement with Infoseek progresses, but on Disney's assessment of how best to structure and position its resources, including Infoseek, as the industry evolves. The deal seems structured as a half-way or open-ended step for Disney, leaving great flexibility with respect to subsequent steps. I think this accounts for what appears to be -- and thus is -- an elevation in Infoseek's status which goes beyond mere "validating interest" by Big Boy Media. There is likewise more to it than "gotta-getta-portal."
The portion of Starwave not owned by Disney is owned by Starwave employees, who will exchange those for shares of Infoseek. Today's announcement says the expanded Infoseek, incorporating Starwave, will continue to operate under the Infoseek name.
|"The Disney properties will be offered on a non-exclusive basis, which accommodates existing arrangements between Disney and other online companies, such as AOL and, most recently, Excite."
The agreement also calls for Infoseek to purchase $165 million in promotional support for an "advanced portal service" to be launched later this year. This service will combine elements of Infoseek's and Disney's existing services, including the services mentioned above, which are clearly far more substantial than any of Infoseek's homegrown offerings. The Disney properties will be offered on a non-exclusive basis, which accommodates existing arrangements between Disney and other online companies, such as AOL and, most recently, Excite. Interestingly, though the company name will remain Infoseek, the announcement does not give a name for the "advanced portal" that is being created.
Using the most recent data from RelevantKnowledge, for the month of May, would rank the combined traffic of Infoseek and Disney ahead of the Excite Network, currently number 3, and at approximately the same level as AOL.com, currently number 2, behind Yahoo. In May, Infoseek ranked number 9, Disney ranked number 10. This deal is yet another example of how a single deal has the potential to alter the balance of power in online space.

After a few attempts, they finally succeed in kidnapping the child, which results in an attempt to rescue the kid. Somehow the goon-comedy reminds us of the goon duo in the famous series Home Alone.
The film starts with a good story line with the instructors teaching the kids rock climbing, trekking, tying knots etc. The activities of the goons succeed in tickling our funny bones. But slowly the story becomes monotonous and predictable.
Some of the scenes in the film do not make sense at all and seem to be forced. Sonali, being a camp instructor, was expected to look a little more fitter, but acting comes naturally to her. The kids have also done a fair job.
The music of the film is decent but one might just lose track, once out of the theater. However, the peppy song by Shaan proves to be an exception. The background score of the film lacks originality too!
All in all, it is an average film. A bit of extra knowledge along with a touch of motivation for the kids is the basic idea behind the film. Nothing extraordinary to look out for, from this one!

Steamboat Springs Home mortgage rates inched upward by a little more than an eighth of a point this week. For consumers contemplating borrowing $270,000 in a conventional 30-year mortgage, that could translate into an additional $20 on their monthly payment.
Still, home mortgage rates remain within half a percentage point of their lowest level in 40 years, and local mortgage lenders are busy with clients who are refinancing and purchasing real estate.
"I think the purchase market has really picked back up," Mary Crotz said Thursday. Crotz, a loan originator at Alpine Bank in Steamboat Springs, was explaining to a few clients why mortgage rates took an upward bounce after Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve Board announced a quarter-point reduction in the overnight lending rate banks charge one another.
"I can only think of one time in the last few years when mortgage rates went down after Greenspan lowered those rate," Crotz said. "Every other time they stayed the same or went up."
The explanation lies in the fact that mortgage rates are tied to the long-term bond market, and the Fed adjustment is to short-term rates. The Fed's motivation in lowering the rate is to drive money out of the bond market and into the stock market. When investors take money out of the bond market, they compensate by charging more for long-term loans.
Crotz said the rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage Thursday stood at 5.125 percent, but that isn't the most popular product among borrowers she works with.
"The five-year ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) is probably our most popular," Crotz said. "It makes sense for any person who doesn't plan to keep their home for more than five years."
At an interest rate of 3.625 percent, the ARM yields a lower monthly payment. For example, for someone borrowing $270,000, the payment on a 30-year fixed (not including escrow) would be about $1,470. The lower rate on the five-year ARM drives that payment down to $1,231.
"A lot of people know they are going to be downsizing," Crotz said. "Their kids are growing up and they know they won't need a big house in a few years." Those are people who are less concerned that interest rates may have gone up significantly when five years are up.
On the other hand, a couple in their 30s who are buying their dream home may find that locking in a 5-percent interest rate for 30 years makes sense.
Another couple contemplating retirement in the next 15 to 20 years, might opt to refinance via a 15-year mortgage at 4.75 percent with the goal of paying the mortgage off close to their retirement date.

The Commentariolus (Little Commentary) is Nicolaus Copernicus's 40-page outline of an early version of his revolutionary heliocentric theory of the universe.[1] After further long development of his theory, Copernicus published the mature version in 1543 in his landmark work, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres).
Copernicus wrote the "Commentariolus" in Latin some time before 1514 and circulated copies to his friends and colleagues.[2] It thus became known among Copernicus's contemporaries, though it was never printed during his lifetime. In 1533, Johann Albrecht Widmannstetter delivered a series of lectures in Rome outlining Copernicus' theory. Pope Clement VII and several Catholic cardinals heard the lectures and were interested in the theory. On 1 November 1536, Nikolaus von Schönberg, Archbishop of Capua and since the preceding year a cardinal, wrote to Copernicus from Rome and asked him for a copy of his writings "at the earliest possible moment".[3]
Although copies of the "Commentariolus" circulated for a time after Copernicus's death,[4] it subsequently lapsed into obscurity, and its previous existence remained known only indirectly, until a surviving manuscript copy was discovered and published in the second half of the nineteenth century.[5]
Copernicus offered seven postulates:[6]
- Celestial bodies do not all revolve around a single point
- The centre of Earth is the centre of the lunar sphere—the orbit of the moon around Earth
- All the spheres rotate around the Sun, which is near the centre of the Universe
- The distance between Earth and the Sun is an insignificant fraction of the distance from Earth and Sun to the stars, so parallax is not observed in the stars
- The stars are immovable; their apparent daily motion is caused by the daily rotation of Earth
- Earth is moved in a sphere around the Sun, causing the apparent annual migration of the Sun; Earth has more than one motion
- Earth's orbital motion around the Sun causes the seeming reverse in direction of the motions of the planets.
- ^ Koyré (1973, pp.18–28); Rosen (2004, pp.6–7, 57–90). Thoren (1990, p.99) gives the length of the manuscript as 40 pages.
- ^ A reference to the "Commentariolus" is contained in a library catalogue, dated May 1st, 1514, of a 16th-century historian, Matthew of Miechow, so it must have begun circulating before that date (Koyré, 1973, p.85; Gingerich, 2004, p.32).

- ^ According to Rosen (2004, pp. 6–7), a manuscript copy of the "Commentariolus" was discovered in Vienna and published in 1878. According to Koyré (1973, p. 76), a very poor copy was published in the 1854 Warsaw edition of De revolutionibus.

the carbon nanotube solution for the global medical market
BioPact is a medical nano-technology development company. BioPact's Medical Grade MOLECULAR REBAR®(MGMR®), is a unique composition of matter derived from carbon nanotubes. MGMR are discrete (individual), free of impurities, open-ended, length controlled and surface functionalized carbon nanotubes. The unique physical and chemical properties of these tubes overcome the limitations of traditional dirty, tangled carbon nanotube bundles. Drugs or other substances may be loaded inside the hollow tubes or bonded to the exterior. The tubes themselves may be sensitized, and thus used as a therapeutic, or to improve the performance of a wide variety of materials used in medical devices.
MGMR is applicable in drug delivery, gene therapy, regenerative medicine, biosensor, orthotic, device and diagnostic development programs. The technology can be applied to developing a new product, resurrecting a struggling development program or improving/extending the protected life of marketed products.
By utilizing MGMR, drug developers can resolve challenges such as controlled-release, targeted delivery, transdermal delivery, toxicity, instability, passing through the blood-brain barrier, just to name a few. Device developers can improve devices and their components by taking advantage of MGMR's ability to be scaffolded, put into arrays, and utilize their highly conductive properties. Diagnostic developers can use the unique qualities of the tubes to act as carriers, targeters and signalers, as well as to sensitize the tube itself for special purpose diagnostics.
BioPact is in the process of arranging collaborations with developers to bring MGMR - enabled products to market.

|st: Xtregar interpretation
|Mon, 04 Oct 2004 11:34:14 -0500
What does it signify if sigma_u (and thus theta and rho_fov) equal 0 in a random effects xtregar model? In looking at the formula, it seems that this indicates that the individual level constant is zero. I am unclear what this signifies from an interpretive (diagnostic) standpoint regarding the model I am trying to run. This seems to occur as I increase the complexity of the model and I was wondering if this suggests that some of the terms are inappropriate to include. Input will be most appreciated. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Queens of the Stone Age, In the Fade (Live in Boston) Queens of the Stone Age, 3's & 7's (Live in Boston) Queens of the Stone Age, Hanging Tree (Live in Boston)
Josh Homme stopped by to play a few songs for us and about 35 other lucky stiffs on Boylston Street last week before QOTSA's proper gig. We had our doubts about what the hell Homme would do without an electric guitar, and we were doubly dubious when we found out he'd requested no amplification of any kind: no wires, no monitors, no PAs, just two guitars and singing into the wind. Surprise: it was fucking awesome.
For those of you who want to take this set with you, we ripped the mp3s off the board and posted below: oddly, though, the sound may not be as good as the videos, since we basically had the equivalent of three stereo mics pointed at those dudes, while the board recording is taken from two room mics mounted at floor level from the corners of the stage. If enough people beg, we may eventually try to edit and post the video for "Hollow" and "I Never Came." But first we'll be polishing off the Spoon set that Caitlin blogged about earlier this week. Expect video and mp3s from that set in the next few days.
Also, we're gonna start inviting some of our friends along to these gigs. First dibs goes to anyone with a better video camera than we have, especially one that has the Panasonic logo on it and at least one XLR input. Holler at us if you want to get up close and personal. Upcoming gigs in the OTD Alive series include Mates of State/Via Audio, Jimmy Eat World, and the National.

3 Things You Need to Know About Business School: Marketing
by bcomconfidential
A recently, an acquaintance of mine who was just wrapping up high school, asked me if I had any advice for him on what to study in university. He knew that I majored in Marketing, and wanted to have my thoughts on the matter. I did not mince words. Here's my list of things you NEED to understand before making the 3 year commitment to a Marketing BCom.
1) You will not get the necessary tools to go into creative advertising
Working and pitching to several multinational ad firms gave me a clear sense of the types of people who can thrive in the ad world, and a typical marketing grad is NOT that person. Here are a few archetypes I have encountered in the halls of the biggest ad agencies in Canada:
a) The Technologist: Computer scientists, web designers, mobile application developers, game developer
You don't need much in the ways of a technical background to implement an ad on traditional media (TV, print and radio) – all you need is to produce it and pass it off to the media buyer. However, agencies are getting with the times and focusing their energy on capturing consumer attention on their computers smart phones and tablet devices.
Why a BCom won't get you there: Programming skills are acquired through years of theoretical and practical education. After a 3 year, 120-credit BCom, you might be lucky to know how to put a PowerPoint presentation together. No one will teach you any better, unless you seek them out on your own time.
b) The Artist: illustrators, graphic designers, film directors, interior designers
For every print ad, TV spot, web banner or retail concept, the agencies needs someone with fine-tuned artistic sensibilities to actually put pen to paper (digitally or the old fashioned way) and create the thing.
Why a BCom won't get you there: No course in Marketing will teach you how to draw, or even give you a sense of which colors never go well together. Unless you have prior art training, and have spent a significant amount of time doodling exquisite designs in your notebooks, your portfolio (if it exists at all) will be bludgeoned to death by a 20-page masterpiece created by someone who spent 2 years studying in a third-tier correspondence art school.
c) The Writer: English lit, art history or political science graduates
Copywriters are essential to a successful agency. An ad with the best visual execution can fall flat on its face without just the right words to back it up.
Why a BCom won't get you there: The average liberal arts student would have read approximately 6000 pages' worth of narrative or argumentative prose, written by experts, during his or her undergrad year. He or she would also have written dozens of essays or stories to further increase their mastery of language. Conversely, a BCom grad would have spent those years skimming over dry and poorly written academic research and not doing much writing at all. Once again, if you want to become competitive in this field, you'll have do it on your own.
2) You will learn very little about how products are being marketed today
Google AdWords, Social Media, Mobile Advertising, online data mining – those are all things that you will likely never hear about during your BCom. That is highly unfortunate because the 4 tools mentioned above are what entry-level marketer are likely going to be working with.
Two of my close friends work in marketing for large multinationals (one in consumer goods, the other in banking). They both spend a good amount of their days (9-5 plus a few hours of overtime for good measure) building elaborate spreadsheets and keeping track of key metrics (and there are about 25 of them). If that's not enough of a chore, then keep in mind that a marketing grad might not even be in the running for jobs like theirs. These two guys studied computer engineering and economics, respectively.
3) Depending on which school to attend, you will either be left on your own to find a job, or given limited help
First, be sure to pick a school with an established co-op program (which unfortunately means that McGill, my alma mater, is out of the question). It will give you the best chance to get a toehold in the job market and avoid the "no work, no work experience" conundrum upon graduation.
Second, because of the large amount of interest in marketing and advertising, many of your colleagues will be flooding employers with CVs and begging to work for free, probably because they overestimate the importance of colorful offices and free espressos. This is bad for you – who needs to send out 75 CVs and go to 25 interviews to land an unpaid internship? To rise above that you will need to hustle. Business school does not do a good job to teaching hustling (which is why even Marketing is preferable to studying Entrepreneurship, but that's another post). You must learn to hustle on your own, and it won't be easy.
For my next post, I'll talk about the important, money-making skills you CAN learn in Marketing (but which most student choose not to).

"The invites were easy to do and turned out so cute. I am celebrating my 40th birthday and invited everyone to a tea party. They are so excited!"
"I used the designer review option. It was great. She was able to adjust the font size for me and make sure that all of the information that I wanted on the invitation was large enough for my friends to read."
"I was delighted to receive these top quality invitations for a Summer bbq . The invitations are substantial. Perfect way to invite friends and neighbors for A party. Classy and fun!"
"I used the blue background, it was a lovely mat color, not too bright. The black information text was a little stark, brown may have been a better color choice. The paper weight was nice and heavy. Overall, great card and adorable design."
"Great bright colours - we went for the blue background to match the party's theme. All my daughter's friends loved these invitations - they were completely different to the usual pad of invitations we were used to seeing and this made her 9th birthday all the more special!"

Latham: ALP knows what it stands for
Political Editor
Page Tools
Opposition Leader Mark Latham last night admitted Labor had to improve its economic credentials, but strongly rejected internal criticism that it did not know what the party stood for.
Mr Latham emerged from more than a week's public silence to defend himself after days of debilitating departures - voluntary or forced - from the front bench. Two of those going, Bob McMullan and Lindsay Tanner, took damaging swipes at him or the state of the party.
Mr Latham rejected Mr Tanner's claim, made last week, that Labor had to decide "who we are" and where it stood on a range of fault lines in political life.
The party had given the electorate a bigger choice than for 10 years, Mr Latham told the ABC's 7.30 Report last night. "And Labor supporters around the country were buoyed by the fact that we were standing up for Labor principles."
Labor had lost the election, and "the people are always right in a democracy. We've got to improve on the economic front. There's no doubt about that - our economic credentials have got to improve.
"But when it came to core Labor values about health, education and the environment, we stood squarely as a modern progressive social democratic party and we've got a lot to be proud of out of our policy development."
Many in the party want to see Mr Latham accept a good deal of personal responsibility for the defeat and to indicate he knows how to take the party forward effectively. He said he respected the judgement of the people. "It's not a judgement I necessarily agree with, but in a democracy there's no point saying the people got it wrong. The people always get it right."
Faced with the Government's strong result in the Senate, which it will probably control, Mr Latham conceded that maybe Labor had in the past "been too much of a Senate party, relying on that Senate blocking capacity".
NSW Premier Bob Carr said yesterday he had "rarely seen federal Labor this dishevelled", although there was "total support for Mark Latham as leader of the party".
"We would all hope that the party closes ranks pretty soon. I would think even people who voted for the Liberals would hope that in Canberra we get a united Opposition, because Australia doesn't benefit when the Opposition (is) dishevelled" said Mr Carr, who absolutely ruled out going into federal politics.
Left-winger Daryl Melham, 49, yesterday became the seventh Labor frontbencher to go to the back bench. Housing spokesman Mr Melham has chosen to step down as part of the manoeuvring within the faction for frontbench spots. Sources said the decision did not reflect any ill will towards Mr Latham.
Mr Latham and the shadow foreign minister, Kevin Rudd, will meet in Canberra today to discuss Mr Rudd's future position. Mr Rudd, who wants shadow treasury but is not expected to get it, denied a report that he was considering going to the back bench.
Mr Rudd said he had indicated to Mr Latham he was interested in the shadow treasury or, if that was not possible, to continue in foreign affairs.
Simon Crean's future will be decided in factional balloting today.
Mr Latham said a key characteristic of his new front bench after tomorrow's caucus meeting would be the emergence of a group of talented young progressive women. He said this was an area the Government could not match.

As new treatments for Alzheimerĺs disease (AD) are developed, the importance of early diagnosis grows. Diagnosis early in the course of the disease increases the likelihood of success for treatments that might slow disease progression, as well as helping patients and their families make plans for future care. Although AD is the most common cause of dementia, the clinical diagnosis of probable AD remains uncertain until it is confirmed by pathological examination of brain tissue during autopsy.
ADRC researcher Dr. Jing Zhang and his colleagues have taken a major stride on the path toward early and accurate diagnosis of AD and other progressive brain diseases. Using an advanced analytical technique, they have identified proteins in the human body that may serve as ôbiomarkersö for AD, Parkinsonĺs disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. A biomarker is a feature or condition in the body that can be objectively measured to indicate disease risk, presence, and progression.
ôWeĺre getting very close to being able to use these biomarkers for the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimerĺs and Parkinsonĺs disease, and dementia with Lewy bodies,ö said Zhang, Associate Professor of Pathology at the UW.
Looking for biomarkers in AD is a complex, multi-step process involving ADRC researchers around the country. Pioneering work by Dr. Elaine Peskind of the UW ADRC has perfected the use of lumbar punctures in individuals with AD, a technique in which a thin needle is inserted into the lower back and a small amount of fluid is extracted. This cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can then be analyzed to identify what chemicals are present.
Zhang and the other researchers conducted a multi-site study to identify specific proteins in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with neurodegenerative diseases and healthy controls. To identify and evaluate these proteins, they used a state-of-the-art technique called iTRAQ, a highly sensitive and specific method that relies on isotopic labeling of protein molecules followed by mass spectrometry analysis. The technique is a major improvement on other biomarker detection techniques, according to Zhang.
The researchers identified and measured more than 1,500 proteins in CSF samples from four groups of study volunteersŚ10 patients with AD, 10 patients with Parkinsonĺs disease, 10 patients with dementia with Lewy bodies, and 10 healthy age-matched controls. After identifying the CSF proteins, Zhang and his colleagues determined which of these proteins were potential biomarkers. The researchers then compared distributions of those markers in CSF collected from patients compared to the healthy controls.
The results of this comparison enabled the researchers to determine unique panels of biomarkers that distinguished healthy controls from patients with neurodegenerative disease, and which distinguished between AD, Parkinsonĺs disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. The researchers then confirmed their results with an alternative method known as Western blot analysis.
ôA key to our research was that we compared three different diseases with normal controls, so we knew a particular protein response was related to a specific disease, not just a neurodegenerative disease in general,ö explained Zhang.
Although the study results are promising, the disease biomarkers Zhang and his colleagues identified must be tested in a larger group of patients before becoming part of a diagnostic tool used by clinicians. The large number of proteins that the group identified in patients with neurodegenerative diseases will likely be useful in developing methods of clinical diagnosis and monitoring disease progression.
Zhang and his colleagues are now investigating whether the biomarkers they found in CSF, which requires a lumbar puncture to obtain, are present in blood, which can be sampled in a less invasive manner.
The results of the CSF study are published in the Journal of Alzheimerĺs Disease, volume 9, August 2006. Other UW researchers who participated in the study included James Leverenz, Elaine Peskind, Cyrus Zabetian, Ali Samii, Catherine Pan, Yan Wang, Jinghua Jin, David Zhu, G. Jane Li, and Thomas Montine. The multi-site study also included researchers from Oregon Health and Science University in Portland; Baylor College of Medicine in Houston; the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle; and Applied Biosystems in Framingham, Mass.

Dec 19 (Reuters) - Friday's Serie A match between Cagliari and leaders Juventus will be held in Parma after the league stepped in following another chaotic day in Italian football which left fans fuming.
The league said in a statement on Thursday that the Stadio Tardini in Parma, 631 kilometres over sea and land from Cagliari, would host the game after safety officials in Sardinia said the city's Is Arenas was not fit to hold the match.
It is not uncommon for Italian authorities to switch the venue or kickoff time of a match two days before a game and Cagliari being based on the island of Sardinia has made no difference.
Cagliari have had a long running battle with local authorities over their new stadium.
They had to play home matches at Trieste, over 1,000 kms away, when the Is Arena was previously deemed unsafe.
It was then approved to host matches behind closed doors and Cagliari were punished with a 3-0 walkover defeat by AS Roma in September after the club president ordered fans to turn up anyway.
A safety certificate to allow fans in was finally obtained but the might of Juventus and the expected hordes of visiting spectators spooked authorities who said the stadium could not cope on Friday.
Then just after the league switched the game to Parma, with 15,000 home fans already having bought tickets for the Is Arenas, the mayor of the suburb of Cagliari where the stadium is situated announced the game could be played there after all.
His announcement, however, came too late to have the fixture reinstated at the Is Arenas. (Writing by Mark Meadows)

After driving a couple of hours, we came to Maastricht, Netherlands, a very busy town with lots and lots of shopping. We arrived at our hotel- Galerie Hotel Dis (actually has an art gallery on the main floor combined with nice breakfast facilities and a neat studio on the second floor- in the shape of a pyramid).
There are a number of interesting buildings here and the one that really gets most attention is the bookstore near the center of the old town called Selexyz: it is in an abandoned Dominican Church! Another one has a water mill built into it- a bakery really!
After the mill we went for a tour went for a walk on the old city walls to an area near where there were many domesticated animals- I forgot to take my memory stick from my camera in my computer to take the male peacock strutting his stuff!!
I fine meal was had at the restaurant Petit Bonheur- very good Avocado stuffed with crayfish combined with a very nice filet steak.
Maastricht is a nice town and very good for all round enjoyment, shopping, dining and touring... Only problem here is their different 220 volt male plugs! The female part has some grooves that our male part doesn't have coinciding...
Today it is raining big time and we are off to Metz France- all of western Europe is wet by the looks of the weather reports on TV, oh well....

Palestine's UN upgrade coming back on EU agenda
The EU should get ready for Palestine's renewed push to upgrade its UN status and stop calling for "illusory" peace talks with Israel, a senior Palestinian politician has said.
Palestine grabbed world attention in New York last September when it asked the UN for full membership and in November when the UN's cultural agency, Unesco, let it join.

The UN campaign then vanished from sight. But Souheil Natour - a legal scholar and a senior politician in the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) - told EUobserver in an interview that it will come back on the agenda after Palestinian elections, expected in May or June.
"[PLO chairman] Abu Mazen was initially scared off by US and Israeli threats to withhold funds. But now he is coming back to this," Natour said.
He noted that the elections will count votes from Palestinians in Israeli-occupied Gaza and the West Bank, as well as mass numbers of Palestinian refugees in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria - an act of defiance against Israel, which says the exiles can never come back because it would destroy the idea of Israel as a homeland for Jewish people.
Natour added that after elections Palestine will seek a vote in the UN General Assembly (UNGA) to upgrade its status from "non-voting organisation" to "non-voting state."
"The EU shouldn't pressure us to go on with the illusory process of so-called peace talks with Israel ... We do not have two states because of Israel. They have no interest in a Palestinian state because they already have their own country," he said.
Natour was born in 1947 in what Arabs call Akka, a city in what is today northern Israel and which appears on most maps under its Hebrew name, Acre. Jewish forces expelled his family in 1948 and he has not been allowed back, even to visit, in 64 years. He now lives in the squalid refugee camp of Mar Elias in Beirut. Like the other 280,000-or-so Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, he has permanent residency but no right to vote or work.
In an insight into the psychology of the conflict, he said refugees will not give up their right of return.
"When the Israelis invaded Lebanon in 1982 and surrounded West Beirut, it took 80 days of siege, of bombardment by the mightiest army in the Middle East and we did not kneel. If we were afraid of them, we could not have resisted."
He said Palestinians are prepared to live side by side with Jews in a two-state solution. But he rejected the idea of a Jewish homeland which forbids refugees from coming home.
"It's bullshit ... You can't create a modern country based on religious principles - this is not the Middle Ages. A modern country, like all European countries, must have equal status for all its citizens," he said.
Natour urged the EU to support Palestine by voting in favour of the UNGA upgrade, making good on promises to rebuild Gaza and boycotting Israeli exports from illegal settlements. He said it would be in the Union's interest in terms of relations with Arab countries and promoting peace in its southern "hinterland."
Submarine diplomacy
The PLO is sceptical on whether the Union can or will make a change, however.
"Without an American decision the Europeans cannot do much ... The Germans delivered their fourth submarine [to Israel] last week. So, if you are selling such weapons, submarines capable of firing an atomic bomb, when we ask for pressure on the Israeli economy or on the settlement problem, we don't trust the Europeans," Natour said.
He was equally sceptical on whether Arab powers such as US-allied Saudi Arabia, or the Saudi-linked Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, will confront Israel for Palestine's sake.
He added that Palestinians have their own Arab Spring, however.
He pointed to popular protests last year for Palestinian political parties Fatah and Hamas to join forces and to last May, when Palestinian youths from Lebanon, Jordan and Syria marched to the border "to see their land, to see their Palestine," in what ended with Israeli soldiers killing over 10 people.
"We have to work for our Spring also, to join the club, and the path is through the re-unification of all the Palestinian forces, all the factions," Natour said.
Pro-Palestinian NGOs have called for another mass walk to the border on 30 March.
Meanwhile, a recent Israeli intelligence report seen by the Haaretz newspaper says there is increasing risk of unrest. "At this point, neither the Palestinian leadership nor public opinion seems to want a violent escalation with Israel ... Still, the continuing freeze of the diplomatic process, combined with any drastic Israeli moves in the military and/or economic realm and the continuing stormy situation in the Middle East, could bring about a change in this approach," the report notes.

Adrien Thormann
Physics Major, Math Minor
Paris, France
Considering the potential impediments Adrien Thormann faced in his transition to life at Goucher, his accomplishments at the college become even more striking.
Thormann was finishing up his senior year of high school in Paris, France, when his father's work transferred the family to Nashville, Tennessee.
He attended a school in Nashville for a semester, took English classes to overcome language hurdles, and came to Goucher in the spring semester.
Thormann says it was strange to come from a large high school to a small, private college in "a country I didn't know, really." Owing to the college's small community, he jokes that when he first arrived at Goucher he was known simply as "the French kid."
Looking back now, Thormann thinks standing out in this way was beneficial because it forced him to talk to new people and to make new friends. He blends in now, he says, but Goucher students still very often ask him questions about his life in France because "there is a lot of respect for other cultures around campus."
When he started at Goucher, Thormann wanted to major in engineering - another possible hindrance to his education because the college does not offer that field of study as a major. The closest academic discipline is physics, which also interested him. "I'm actually really, really glad that I ended up doing physics and math," Thormann says.
He says his coursework has been academically rigorous, which is why he thinks he recently got accepted into prestigious graduate programs at Vanderbilt and Johns Hopkins universities, among others. "I had a lot of work to do, trying to do a lot at once, lots of nights with no sleep. But it was worth it in the end," he says.
Thormann also believes that the opportunities Goucher makes available to students - as well as his own hard work, or course - helped him land really impressive internships during his college career.
He did a summer research project with Ben Sugerman, an assistant professor of physics and his adviser. Their research project was in astronomy and focused on the study of light echoes, which Thormann describes as "one of the most effective means to study the structure and makeup of circumstellar and interstellar dust and gas."
He explained that when a star explodes, it lights up a lot of dust that was around the star that could not be seen before, and all the light bounces off the dust and comes to Earth. From that, scientists can determine the structure of the dust, its composition, and chemical composition, and they can learn a bit about stars.
Thormann also applied for and was accepted into a summer internship with the Committee on Science and Technology in the U.S. House of Representatives, which is in charge of non-defense federal scientific research and development. He worked specifically on the subcommittee on space and aeronautics.
"It was great to be on Capitol Hill for a summer and to see how politics and science are related," he says.
His internship at the House happened to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. Thormann had the opportunity to meet John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Mike Collins, and the rest of the Apollo-era astronauts who, he says, "have been inspiring me to pursue scientific studies since I was a kid."
Now, Thormann is interning at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) located on The Johns Hopkins University's campus, which is the science operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope. He is doing research in astronomy, looking for planets orbiting around other stars.
Thormann's post-Goucher plan is to study mechanical engineering, specifically fluid mechanics. He has decided to do a two-year master's program at Hopkins. After that, he is undecided - he might pursue a doctorate, or he might work or go back to France.
He is flexible as well when it comes to landing his dream job: He is fine with being either a rocket scientist or an astronaut.

Managing Chronic Illness Using the Four-Phase Treatment Approach: A Mental Health Professional's Guide to Helping Chronically Ill People
€ 91,99

Oktober 2003
BeschreibungA pioneering book to help maximize the quality of life for chronically ill patients Written by a leading authority on chronic illness treatment and management, Managing Chronic Illness Using the Four-Phase Treatment Approach provides evidence-based practice guidelines for clinicians to help their clients with debilitating health problems embrace a new "normal," understand the cyclical nature of their illness, and function at the highest level possible. Patricia Fennell's groundbreaking model for understanding chronic illness identifies and describes four broad phases experienced by the chronically ill: crisis, stabilization, resolution, and integration. Using a broad array of case histories, Fennell vividly illustrates what clients need at each phase and how to assess and respond to them compassionately. Fennell also suggests how clinicians may best use their own changing experiences in their work to help clients transition through the four phases. The goal of the "Four-Phase Model" is to maximize a client's quality of life without offering false hope for a cure, making it an effective treatment strategy for diverse client populations, including people with physiological diseases; patients whose lives are being prolonged by modern medicine; and people who suffer from addiction, post-traumatic stress syndrome, intractable pain, and post-rape and abuse conditions. Complete with detailed treatment protocols for documenting a client's symptoms and quality of life at each phase, Managing Chronic Illness Using the Four-Phase Treatment Approach is a highly practical book for everyone working with chronically ill clients.

The Beastie Boys.
The Beastie Boys once fought for your right to party; now they're just fighting for your rights. Jack Marx reports.
Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park
Wednesday, 11am-midnight
Sold out. See ticket giveaway in January 21's Metro
Beastie Boys play the Hordern Pavilion on January 28, 8pm. Tickets $77.40 on 9266 4800
Give someone an opening and they'll run right through it. That's generally how it works in rock'n'roll interviews, where confident types with something to sell are keen to have maximum words on the page.
Adam Horovitz, aka Adrock, of New York hip-hoppers the Beastie Boys, is an exception to this rule.
JM: "There seems to be a growing sense of fear in the United States - a fear of, I don't know ..."
Horovitz: [long pause] "What?"
JM: "Well, I mean, Bush re-elected, the war on terror. The whole world's changed since you guys started making music."
Horovitz: [long pause] "I guess."
JM: "Right. So what do you think of Australia?"
And so on.
That Horovitz is unwilling to be corralled into useable quotations shouldn't be at all surprising.
He's from the band that has been refusing to engage us for decades, preferring instead to outflank popular culture, outrun the fashions of their own fans and - in the words of Brooklyn baseball legend Willie Keeler - "hit 'em where they ain't". At no point in the band's 20-year career have their fans been prepared for what was coming next.
"There's always a great danger in this business of appearing like the old guy at the party," he says, warming to the topic of potential obsolescence.
"Y'know, the one with the Converse sneakers on and the T-shirt and suit, standing in the corner, looking around. I don't really know how we've managed to avoid it. I don't even know for sure that we have. It's not for me to judge, really."
When their debut album, Licensed to Ill, hit No. 1 in the US in 1986 and Fight for Your Right was on every bachelor-party playlist, the Beastie Boys seemed little more than a frat band - the Smash Mouth of their time. Theirs was a world of bratty behaviour, anti-cool fashion statements and interviews full of lies. To have suggested that the Beastie Boys would be around, let alone respected, in the 21st century would have seemed laughable - even, it seems, for the band themselves.
"I don't know," Horovitz says, laughing. "The whole thing is just a big blur to me. I seriously don't understand why people like our music. Oh, y'know,
I understand some of it, or I might understand why they like a certain song or something, but I don't understand how someone could like the Beastie Boys for 20 years, y'know?"
Their second album, 1988's Paul's Boutique, made it clear the Beastie Boys were deeper dudes than first thought - the album is still regarded as a hip-hop landmark. The single Hey Ladies, though, with its deliberately provocative lyrics and accompanying come-hither cowbell, did nothing to convince the world they weren't just out to cause trouble.
"I don't think I ever wanted to be a rock star," Horovitz says. "I always wanted to be in a band and make music but, y'know, the whole thing with autographs and fans, I don't know if anyone really ever handles it very well. Not really, anyway."
It was 1992's Check Your Head that changed everything. Mike D (Michael Diamond), MCA (Adam Yauch) and Adrock were playing instruments, which is something they'd forgotten to tell everyone they could do. The album went double-platinum in the US. The kids from Brooklyn became masters of their art in the eyes of the public almost overnight.
Horovitz believes that touring the world was the beginning of a maturation they could never have undergone in the boroughs of New York.
"Things become very different when you're in a band and you get to travel and tour," he says. "You see places in Eastern Europe, like Poland, and you come to realise how much destruction there was during World War II. They're still rebuilding it. It's crazy. Americans really don't know how lucky they are."
Since September 11, the Boys have been major players on the protesting left, headlining concerts such as New Yorkers Against Violence in October 2001 and, more recently, the Tibetan Freedom Concerts in Tokyo and Taipei.
In 2003, they recorded In a World Gone Mad, a protest song against the Iraq war that fans could download for nothing from the band's website. Perhaps it was their way of giving back to a world they once didn't even want to talk to.
"It's just something positive that maybe we can bring into the world," Horovitz says. "Nothing but good can come out of that. But, like, there'll always be something about modern music, jazz or pop or whatever, that takes people, y'know, away from their families. Rock'n'roll wasn't meant for pleasant parties. I just play what it is, y'know, and try not to think about the families standing around the Steinway."

Submitted to: American Society of Agricultural Engineers Meetings Papers
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: 8/31/1997
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: The site-specific application of irrigation water and fertilizer should offer opportunities to conserve water, to reduce the chance of either drought or flooding stress, and to reduce leaching of fertilizer or pesticides below the field in the areas subject to such losses. A center pivot irrigation system was modified to permit a range of water and chemical application rates to areas about the size of a 2-car garage. The water application system consisted of multiple segments 9.1 m long, each with three manifolds. Each manifold is controlled separately, allowing up to eight separate water application depths for any given speed of the system. The system is controlled by a computer using specialized software and soil, crop, and cultural information stored in a database. While the modified irrigation system was being developed and improved, it was used to apply water and nitrogen to a corn-soybean field experiment with regular plot boundaries in 1995 and 1996. Treatments in the experiment included irrigation, deep tillage, nitrogen application, and crop rotation. Irrigation increased corn yield over rainfall only both years and increased soybean yield one year. Yields for crop rotation and deep tillage were not different. Deep tillage increased corn yield with irrigation but not with rainfall only. The irrigation control system was improved and its reliability increased during the experiment.
Technical Abstract: Research suggests spatial variability in yield for the southeastern Coastal Plain may be caused primarily by water relations. This causes difficulties in scheduling irrigation for conventional center pivots. Thus, we designed and constructed a site-specific center pivot irrigation system that could independently apply variable rates of water and chemicals to 100-m**2 areas within the irrigation system. A commercial center pivot was modified by adding three 9.1-m manifolds in 13 segments along the truss. Manifolds and nozzles were sized to provide 0 to 7x the minimum rate, which was 12.7 mm in 1.8-mm increments, when traveling at half speed. A computer-controlled management system obtained the position from the center pivot controller and switched on the appropriate valves to obtain the application rate for a specific area. During 1995 and 1996, the system was used for water and nitrogen applications in a fixed-boundary ycorn-soybean field experiment with irrigation, deep tillage, nitrogen, and crop rotation treatments. Irrigation increased corn yield over rainfall only in both years and increased soybean yield one year. Yields for crop rotation, nitrogen application, and deep tillage were not different. Deep tillage increased corn yield with irrigation but not with rainfall only. The modified center pivot system applied water and nutrient satisfactorily to individual plots and system performance and reliability improved during the two-year period.

The purpose of MCC's declassification program is to:
- Review all historically valuable classified information, including foreign government information;
- Assess what needs to remain classified and what can be released to the public while protecting diplomatic relations between the United States and a foreign government; and
- Provide public access to information about MCC's programs and declassified material and a mechanism for input on what types of information should be prioritized for declassification as allowed.
Executive Order 13526, as amended, "Classified National Security Information," establishes a uniform system for classifying, safeguarding and declassifying national security information. More guidance on this was later sent via memorandum to all heads of executive departments and agencies.
Information appraised as having permanent historical value is automatically declassified once it reaches its declassification date or at 25 years of age as provided in Section 3.3 of E.O. 13526, unless MCC's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has determined that it falls within a narrow exemption that permits continued classification and it has been appropriately approved.
Under Section 3.5 Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR), any individual may request a review of classified information and material in MCC's possession for declassification if:
- The request describes the documents or material containing the information with enough detail for MCC to locate it with a reasonable amount of effort. Requests with insufficient description of the material will be returned to the requester for further information.
- The information requested is not the subject of pending litigation.
- The information requested has not been reviewed for declassification in the previous two years. If so, MCC shall inform the requester of this fact and provide the requester with appeal rights in accordance with 32 CFR 2001.33(a)(2)(iii).
How to make MDR requests:
- In writing to Office of the General Counsel, MCC, 875 15th Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20005
- Online requests can be made to email@example.com.
- Please write "Mandatory Declassification Review" on the envelope or in the subject line of your online request.
- In your request, specifically mention MDR under E.O. 13526, and not the Freedom of Information Act or Privacy Act.
- Identify the document or information to be reviewed with as much specificity as possible.
All declassified records must be requested under the FOIA and are still subject to being withheld under one or more of the nine exemptions from disclosure permitted under the FOIA. Certain records, classified or not, will not be released to the public. See http://www.mcc.gov/pages/foia
