Anders Koppel
© Lars Skaaning
Music lives inside us all, in every fibre, in our biological systems, in our mental and spiritual space. But as primarily listening beings most of us switch the musical energy current on and off. This is not how it has been for Anders Koppel. In a way it was music that chose him, and it has taken him to many places. He says that his music can be heard as fingerprints of the huge variety of impulses stored in his being. They have become part of his language, so he thinks less about style than about form and organic contrast when he composes. Anders Koppel's oeuvre is characterized first and foremost by a considerable diversity of genres, styles and traditions – whether symphonic music, solo concertos, chamber music, solo works, opera, ballet music, theatre music, music for radio drama or film music. Anders Koppel was born in 1947 to a family with many children, as the son of a Polish-Jewish second-generation immigrant and a girl from Funen. The home was an enclave of art, free-thinking cultural radicalism and social commitment, and since Anders' father, Herman D. Koppel (1908-1998, composer and pianist), was one of the most significant Danish composers and pianists of his generation, music of course played a crucial role in the upbringing of the children. Their father shared his joy in music with them, encouraged them to develop their skills, and discussed music with them whenever the opportunity arose. Anders Koppel grew up with the music of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, but also of Stravinsky, Bartók and his father. He sang in the Copenhagen Boys' Choir, took piano lessons from his sister Therese, then later from his father, and he learned to play the clarinet, after which his father wrote a variation work for him. In his youth he also developed an appetite for other interests: Anders Koppel painted, went to the film museum and saw silent films, wrote a novel, worked with his father on the texts for his major vocal works, and had his ears opened to rock'n'roll. In 1967 Anders Koppel and his brother Thomas formed the rock group Savage Rose, which very quickly gained a large audience. For the next seven years the band toured all over Europe, the USA from coast to coast with appearances at the Newport Festival in 1971, and recorded eight albums in London, Los Angeles, Rome and Copenhagen. In 1974 Anders Koppel left the group and began a new life as an independent musician and composer. The great classical tradition with which Anders Koppel was imbued during his childhood also plays an important role in Koppel's life today. Beethoven is a daily encouragement and morale-booster; the same applies to technical compositional factors like form and subject development. Prokofiev and Jolivet were added through the mediation of his father and are still part of his baggage. Jazz and rock have been inseparable travelling companions, South American folk music has been a similar revelation in the form of the classic Argentine tango, Cuban dance music and Brazilian choro, just as Balkan music has entered his blood. "Go for diversity!" music seems to have whispered in the ears of the musician and composer. Another element has been important to him: melody. It is fundamental to his own music, so it is also important for him to express himself in a tonal idiom that takes its point of departure in major and minor tonalities. Anders Koppel embodies a rare concept in the scored music of our day – the performing musician and creative composer in one and the same person. Not in the historical sense like Beethoven, Bartók or his own father for example, but as an improvising musician outside scored music. In parallel with his many years of working with film music, chamber music and symphonic music, Koppel has cultivated genre-free partnerships in two groups: Bazaar with Peter Bastian (clarinet and electric bassoon) and Flemming Quist Møller (congas); and KAK with his son Benjamin (saxophone) and Jacob Andersen (percussion). In a certain sense Koppel's treatment of his B-3 Hammond organ has affinities with the piano virtuosos of the past, whether in jazz or the classical tradition, but it is actually more than that. For Koppel, live music is "composition from the hip"; the channels to the remote storage function are opened up, he shakes off the dust, is absorbed by the bodily dimensions of the music, and together he and his musicians often arrive at the trippiest things from the outermost limits. Communication with the audience is the be-all and end-all in this context – it becomes a high-flying dialogue between the musical material, the musicians and the listeners. Experiences like these are extremely important to the composer Anders Koppel. When Anders Koppel turned 50 in 1997, he made a decision. From now on he would realize his dreams, and they were clearly oriented towards focusing on scored music, preferably on the grand scale. Over the previous twenty years he had gathered invaluable experience in work with ballet music, film music and theatre music. If you ask Koppel himself to choose some key works from his output, the choice falls without hesitation on the over twenty solo concertos. Several of them could be called concertos for peripheral instruments: saxophone, marimba, accordion, double-bass, bass trombone and tuba. His father, Herman D. Koppel, wrote four piano concertos. Anders Koppel calls the four marimba concertos his piano concertos – he has incidentally also written a piano concerto for his father. The marimba concerts were composed, like the great majority of his works, as commissions, and with particular performing artists in mind – in the case of Nos. 3 and 4 the Austrian percussion phenomenon Martin Grubinger. Marimba Concerto No. 1 (1995) was written as a set piece for an international marimba competition in Luxembourg, and it has turned out to be a gambit with quite overwhelming global success: the marimba set against a Viennese Classical ensemble. The solo instrument is definitively at the centre as virtuoso and initiator. The charming – in fact concertante – qualities of the marimba come to full expression, and do so in constantly varying rhythms, with elegant layers of sonority and insistent input to the dialogue with the orchestra. It is extraordinarily accommodating music and at the same time morning-fresh in is tight conception. In Marimba Concerto No. 4 (2006) the orchestra has grown considerably in size with added brass, harp, organ and percussion. The basic mood is more serious than in the first concerto. Koppel has added the subtitle Zum Gedächtnis des Vergänglichen, i.e. In Memory of the Transitoriness of Life; and at the same time the concerto was written with the piano composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as a Geist hovering before the mind's eye – in the year of the 250th anniversary of his birth. The material of the concerto is very much left in the hands of the orchestra; this is where subject and theme are developed, expanded and transformed, and above it the marimba more or less gambols in cascades of passage-playing, figures and bravura – quite in the Mozartian spirit. The form is bipartite, beginning with an extended, calmly promenading andante based on scale motions and a bluesy stress on the minor seventh. A memento mori with a Mozartian ambivalence: melancholy and beauty. The quick second section enters very quietly in the organ, Koppel's own instrument – in the specific case the organ of the Vienna Musikverein, where the first performance was given. It is a dance that soon involves the whole orchestra in shifting formations. The marimba continues to process the input it gets in a kind of improvisational form, and Mozart himself makes a lively appearance with fragments from his Alla turca. Life is beautiful and strange, use it while you have it, this concerto seems to be telling us. The two saxophone concertos were written for Koppel's son Benjamin, one of Denmark's most gifted jazz saxophonists. The Second Concerto (2003) in four movements runs through a wealth of different stages, meditative or superheated, and the soloist is often driven out into virtuoso excesses that recall the boundless improvisations of the great jazz names. The concerto is decidedly an attempt to fuse the jazz tradition with the classical symphony of the twentieth century, a fascinating encounter between the free improvisation of the soloist and the score-bound collectivity. Great song makes its appearance in the central largo, not in the Romantic sense, but as a melodically fragmented series of tensions with built-in conflicts and with the soloist as ballad player in an extraordinary expressive format. Anders Koppel also cultivates the double concerto – for example violin and accordion (2001) and saxophone and piano (2006). The concerto for the Mozartian configuration flute and harp (1998) explores a bright, transparent world of sound; the soloist's lines are refracted as in a prism, followed by a bass-renouncing string orchestra with four horns and percussion. It is delicate music, alternately poetic, melancholy and sparkling. The rhythmically driving pulse is characteristic of Anders Koppel's music. This is very much the case with the Toccata for Vibraphone and Marimba, which was commissioned by Safri Duo in 1990, a work which has now become an obligatory part of Conservatory syllabuses all over the world. In the chamber music for the traditional ensembles we meet different moods. In the Piano Trio No. 1 "Rivolta" (1994) Koppel works with sophisticated developments of very simple material. String Quartet No. 1 (1997), written for the American Coolidge Quartet, shuffles the cards in surprising ways; its rooting in a Gallic tradition is clear enough, but Koppel tells his own stories in the course of its three movements; this is evident from an energetic rhythmic interaction with echoes of Argentine tango, the crisp harmony that is so well suited to the string sounds, and the floating lightness of the texture. An elegant quartet that certainly cries out for successors. A decidedly national tradition lies behind the Sonatina for Wind Quintet (2002), for what Danish composer can emancipate himself from Carl Nielsen's brilliant quintet? Well, Anders Koppel succeeds very well, because the five winds are forced into a quite different kind of fabulous discourse. French inspirations spring more to mind if we consider the diverting character of the first movement, whereas the middle movement stands as Koppel's own ambiguous divertissement, while the piccolo leads the band in the tongue-in-cheek gaiety of the final movement, which is based on the Italian 6/8 tarantella. Benjamin Koppel's ensemble Mad Cows Sing has given his father a welcome opportunity to write for a (to put it mildly) hybrid ensemble: oboe, alto saxophone, violin, cello, piano, double-bass and percussion. The little suite 7 scenes from the daily life of cows (1998) was composed for the cellist Henrik Dam Thomsen's debut as a soloist, which is why the cello is occasionally singled out as the lyrical voice in front of the other actors. In the seven miniatures the septet demonstrates a varied palette of sonorities, rhythms and melodic scenery. Along the way one can send a thought to the animals in Saint-Saëns' Carnival, but Koppel's work can first and foremost be heard as a catalogue of several of the techniques and idioms he has cultivated over the years. Dances with skewed steps and shifting metres, beautiful melodious lines, amusing pastiches, intricate weavings in the ensemble playing, rhythmic momentum and virtuoso solo playing. Anders Koppel's oeuvre comprises far more opuses than have been touched on here. Since the decision to concentrate on scored music was made in 1997, the series of works has grown explosively, and interest in his music is just as strong abroad as in Denmark. There are few score composers who can draw on such a versatile background as Koppel. At present, as a performing and creating artist, he is garnering the fruits of his curiosity and openness to a wealth of musical genres. And in so doing he is fully living out his own statement: You are what you become. Valdemar Lønsted, 2007

Digital TV to play e-voting role
Summary: Will interactive TV succeed where the Internet and electronic kiosks failed last year, and boost voter turnout?
Residents of Swindon will be offered the opportunity to become the first people in Britain to vote by cable later this month.
A consortium involving NTL has created a secure Web site that can only be accessed from an NTL digital television. This site will allow NTL subscribers living in Swindon to choose their preferred candidate in the forthcoming local elections via their TV.
The interactive TV trial is one of many e-voting experiments taking place in May's local elections, and it has a particular focus on improving turnout.
E-voting trials were held in last year's local elections, and while they were a technological success they did not seem to increase the percentage of people who cast their vote.
Those behind the trial believe that interactive TV will make e-voting available to more people than other technologies, because digital TV is used by a wider range of the population than the Internet.They also believe that ease of use -- the fact that voters won't need to leave their armchair to register their preference -- is another important factor.
Swindon residents will also be able to vote by telephone, the Internet or at an e-voting kiosk, so it should be possible to measure the relative success of each method. E-voting will take place between 24 and 30 April, while the traditional ballot boxes will only be available on 1 May.

I was driving in to work late one morning after an early doctor appointment. A large, grungy pick-up truck pulled up to my left as I was stopped at a light about two miles away from the office. I've learned to resist the temptation to look over at the person in the car next to me so as to not incite any kind of unwanted attention.
As I kept my gaze fixed ahead something in the corner of my eye caught my attention — a brown, hulking figure slowly leaned forward in the front passenger window of that car next to me. Frustration and annoyance began to well up within in me as I had this "NO WAY am I getting hit on at a stop light two miles from work at 9:00 in the morning! Who do they think they are?" speech angrily racing through my head.
Completely peeved I turned to my left to offer my disapproving glare only to see a brown, hulking hound dog sitting in the front passenger seat eagerly looking out the window at me.
Enter, humility. No one was hitting on me. No one wanted to give me a compliment. No one was paying the slightest bit of attention to me. I had worked myself up over a scenario that didn't even happen.
As girls, a part of us seeks attention from the opposite sex so we try to present ourselves as attractive. Another part of us gets offended when we either don't get the attention we seek or when it comes from the wrong kind of person.
What do we do with the other parts? We develop:
Grace: Dictionary.com defines this as "a pleasing or attractive quality." This doesn't mean seeking out attention by wearing provocative clothes. Or having regular dates with the tanning bed. Or experimenting with hair dye, fake nails, piercings, vocabulary, attitudes, or anything else that you think the world defines as pleasing or attractive. Grace is a quality … an "air" about someone. Not something you put on for the day.
Elegance: Dictionary.com defines this as "Refinement, grace, and beauty in movement, appearance, or manners." This has to do with how we present ourselves.
- We can be elegant in our movement by walking like a lady. I'm not suggesting you need to wear the high heels everyday, just carry yourself like the respectable young woman you are. Stand up tall with your shoulders back. Take smaller steps instead of long, gangly strides. Be confident. Look people in the eye when you greet them.
- We can be elegant in our appearance by taking everything in moderation — hair dye, lipstick, foundation, eye shadow, piercings — all of these things can get out of control quickly! None of them are bad, but use them in moderation and be tasteful.
- We can be elegant in our manners by actually implementing manners into your routine (no obnoxious burps, help clear the table after dinner, thank the hostess, take people's coats from them when company comes to your house) speaking kindly of others instead of being the first one to verbally bash someone, and by being more complimentary of other people.
Maturity: This is probably the part of your being that you will spend the most time developing … and it lasts forever. Believe me! Girls have lots of emotions so it's hard to learn to override them when you need to. Don't let your emotions control you. If you find you are mad at your friend or family member, stop before reacting — there's most likely a logical explanation for or solution to your dilemma. Look for this and then you will come across as a young woman developing maturity instead of a girl who needs to be petty. The same can be said about girls who seem to need attention — it's possible to survive a day without a guy commenting on your looks or hurling a "Yeah!" out the window of his car while he's driving next to you. Maturity is being able to look at a situation, assess it, and make a sound decision without a lot of unnecessary drama. Maybe you don't get a compliment for a few days — it's okay. You know your worth and you don't need to change anything to go get that affirmation.
The combination of these three qualities will make you irresistible to the right kind of people. You will attract loyal friends and respectable guys as they realize your humility and your classiness.
Now back to the traffic light. After the light turned green I sped away from the grungy pick-up truck, swallowing my pride and allowing humility to wash over me. I'm not all that. I'm nothing without Jesus. I'm on a journey. God help me grow in grace, elegance, and maturity.

Hamilton County plans response to Littlefield's growth letter
TCA 6-58-106 TCA 6-58-104 "Any time after the expiration of the initial three-year period, the mayor of any municipality in the county or the county mayor or county executive may propose an amendment to the growth plan by filing notice with the county mayor or county executive and with the mayor of each municipality in the county. Upon receipt of such notice, the county mayor or county executive shall take appropriate action to reconvene or reestablish the coordinating committee within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the notice. Except as provided for in this subdivision (d)(1), the procedures for amending the growth plan shall be the same as the procedures in this section for establishing the original plan."
Hamilton County plans response to Littlefield's growth letter
This article is making a big deal out of something insignificant at this point. Mayor Littlefield is simply initiating the process for amending the city's UGB as required by state law. The first step in that process is sending a letter to the county mayor. Eventually, the county commissioners and every incorporated community in the county will have the opportunity to examine and vote on the proposed changes. Again, its all in state law which the mayor is following.
And she is also a graduate of East Tennessee State University (then East Tennessee Normal School).

ohnotheydidnt: Transphobia in Lady Gaga's "Telephone" Video?
Transphobia in Lady Gaga's "Telephone" Video?
Yes, Lady Gaga, we get it. You can stop worrying that people think you're a trans woman.
I've made no bones before about my lack of awe for Lady Gaga. It's not that I have anything against her specifically, but I find the aggrandizement of her as a radically different feminist artist as shallow: she's able-bodied, cis, blonde, thin, and conventionally attractive (I find the argument that she's somehow shattering beauty norms really hard to swallow), and generally taking part in the privilege of attraction as western culture grants it.
As a trans woman, she mostly caught my attention due to the transphobic and intersex-phobic rumours about her being either trans or intersex. while these rumours were typically a product of living in a transphobic and transmisogynist culture, Lady Gaga's response was one of gender and genital essentialism, stating that her vagina was offended by the claims.
It seems with her latest video she's continuing this gender essentialism, slipping in a "no dick = not a tranny" joke at about a minute in, before the song even begins to play. The scene is set in a prison, and after being dragged to her cell and stripped by two women who appear to be trans Lady Gaga climbs up against the bars in a shot clearly designed to dispel any rumours. at that point one of the trans women guards says to the other "I told you she didn't have a dick," and they walk away.
When the original rumours about Lady Gaga's genitals were circulating I stayed away from the story for the most part out of respect for her. Her offended vagina comment quickly lost my support, however. That she's using trans women and drag queens to exoticize her videos doesn't defer from the cissupremacist stance that women = vagina, and trans women are therefore not real women. Her anxiety at being seen as trans is clear, and her response is typical of cis privilege and trans marginalization: We're supposed to wipe our brows and sigh relief that she's actually a real woman. this is transmisogyny.
hurtful, damaging, oppressive, cissupremacist, transmisogynist, etc

Here's one-man's take on Thursday's Ben Revere for Vance Worley and Trevor May swap, from HardballTalk.com writer and veteran Twins blogger Aaron Gleeman:
"When the Twins traded Denard Span last week the assumption was that they did so in part because Ben Revere was ready to step in as their new center fielder and leadoff man, but now they've traded Revere to the Phillies.
"Minnesota has an incredible lack of quality pitching throughout the organization and one area where the Twins have good depth is the outfield, where former first-round pick Aaron Hicks could be ready to become the starting center fielder at some point in 2013. Revere is very fast and very good defensively, but he has zero power and a fairly limited overall upside, so if the Twins feel Hicks will be ready soon anyway it makes some sense.
"Revere has tremendous range in center field that more than makes up for perhaps the worst arm in baseball and he's capable of swiping 50 bases at a good clip, but he may never hit an over-the-fence homer and through age 24 he's hit .278 with a .319 on-base percentage and .323 slugging percentage. For years he's been compared to Juan Pierre, for better or worse." - Aaron Gleeman on HardballTalk.com
Saber-minded reader weighs in: "Juan Pierre (to whom Revere has been compared) was a valuable player throughout the 2000s. He was just given a stupid contract. And Revere's fWAR last year, even with that OPS, was better than all but two of Pierre's best in his career (and Pierre got a ton more plate appearances and playing time than Revere did last year with Minnesota). Again, 3.4 fWAR in 2012. BJ Upton's was 3.3. Revere's fWAR last year was twice Pierre's with the Phillies. Pierre is not a good defender anymore. Imagine if in addition to hitting .307/.351 Pierre provided 1000+ innings of elite defense in the OF. That's what Revere provided for Minnesota." - sophist
Additional scouting report: (Gleeman e-mailing Beerleaguer) "He takes some weird routes, definitely, but I don't think he's totally clueless out there. And his speed is truly elite. Might be the fastest guy in the majors, with lots of quickness and athleticism, and good long speed too. He has an incredible ability to make contact and I think sometimes that makes it appear as though he doesn't have much patience. He rarely walks, but that's in part because pitchers aren't afraid to throw him strikes and in part because whenever he swings he's putting the ball in play. So basically any swing ends the at-bat, ruling out a walk. He's willing to take some pitches, though. Exceptional base-stealer, both in terms of volume and success rate. Could easily steal 50-60 bases a season at a good clip. Not a very good bunter despite the Twins repeatedly asking him to work on that. And almost literally zero power. Like, struggles to hit fly balls to the warning track and will probably never hit an over-the-fence homer."
Beerleaguer: I'm pretty okay with going with cheap defense to solve the center field situation, but the Phils will need to add a major run producer to one of the corners or it will be among the worst outfields in the league next season.
Still, even with a notoriously weak hose, Revere is considered an elite outfielder, and defense was something the Phillies absolutely had to improve this winter.

Omnivore [(om-nuh-vawr)]: An animal whose normal diet includes both plants and animals. Human beings and bears, for instance, are omnivores.
So says Dictionary.com, at least. Ask the engineering boffins from Lotus, though, and they'll tell you than an Omnivore is an engine that can operate on just about any combination of gasoline or alcohol at equally optimum efficiency and power. An impressive feat, to say the least. But how does it all work?
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. So far, we've used nearly a hundred of 'em and we haven't even touched the surface on how Lotus' Omnivore engine works. That said, we highly suggest you take a gander at the firm's very own Flash animation of the process, which allows you to make all sorts of cool adjustments to see how changes in speed, fuel type and load impact the operation of the powerplant. Cool stuff. Thanks for the tip, Chris!

DIE Lunæ, 25 Martii.
D. of Rutland & al. Pet. referred to Judges.
Mutiny, &c. Bill:
Protest against it.
Message to H. C. that the Lords have agreed to the Bill.
Address, for Papers concerning the Riot at Oxford.
King present:
Mutiny Bill passed.
Domini tam Spirituales quam Temporales præsentes
Upon reading the Petition of John Duke of Rutland,
on the Behalf of himself and John Manners Esquire,
commonly called Marquis of Granby, his Eldest Son and
Heir Apparent, an Infant, and of Robert Lord Lexington, on the Behalf of himself and Bridget Sutton his
Daughter and only Child, an Infant; praying, "That
Leave may be given to bring in a Bill, for settling
and assuring several Estates, in the Petition mentioned,
of the said Duke, for the Benefit of the said Marquis
and the said Bridget Sutton, so as a Provision may be
made for them and the Issue of their intended Marriage; and that the Estate, in the Petition likewise
mentioned, of the said Lord Lexington, may be vested
in Trustees, to be sold; and that the Money arising by
such Sale be paid to the said Duke, as Part of the
Portion of the said Bridget Sutton:"
It is Ordered, by the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled, That the Consideration of
the said Petition be, and is hereby, referred to Mr.
Justice Tracy and Mr. Justice Prat; who are forthwith
to summon all Parties concerned in the Bill; and, after
hearing them, to report to the House the State of the
Case, with their Opinion thereupon, under their Hands;
and whether all Parties that may be concerned in the
Consequences of the Bill have signed the Petition; and
also that the Judges, having perused the Bill, do sign
the same.
The House (according to Order) was adjourned during Pleasure, and put into a Committee upon the Bill,
intituled, "An Act for punishing Mutiny and Desertion; and for the better Payment of the Army and
their Quarters."
And, after some Time spent therein, the House was resumed.
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, and put
into a Committee again upon the forementioned Bill.
And, after a long Time spent therein, the House was
And the Earl of Clarendon reported from the said
Committee, "That they had gone through the Bill;
and directed him to report the same to the House,
without any Amendment."
Ordered, That the Bill be now read the Third
The Bill was accordingly read the Third Time.
And the Question being put, "Whether this Bill
shall pass?"
It was Resolved in the Affirmative.
"1. Because no particular Reason or Occasion is so
much as suggested in this Bill, for keeping on Foot a
Standing Army, consisting of Thirty-two Thousand
Men, in this Kingdom, in Time of Peace: And therefore this Act will be a Precedent for keeping the same
Army at all Times, though this Kingdom be in Peace;
which, we think, must inevitably subvert the ancient
Constitution of this Realm, and subject the Subjects
to arbitrary Power.
"2. Because, by this Bill, the Soldiers are exempted
from being arrested, by Process of Law, at the Suit
of any Person, for recovering a just Debt, or upon
any Action whatsoever; which is a great Injustice to
the Subject; taking from them the Benefit of the
Law, for recovering their just Demands, and for obtaining Satisfaction for any Injury done them by a
Soldier, either by wounding or maiming, or wrongfully taking away his Goods: And we conceive this
will be so far from preserving good Order and Discipline in the Army, that, on the contrary, it will be
a great Encouragement to the Soldiers to live in their
Quarters in all Manner of Licentiousness, and to insult their Fellow-subjects both in their Persons and
Estates; when they know that by this Law they, are
disabled from obtaining any effectual Satisfaction from
them, by the Course of Justice, for any such Violence
or Injury: And the only Reason offered, to justify
this Exemption from Arrests, being to prevent the
taking Soldiers out of His Majesty's Service by collusive Arrests; we think the preventing such an imaginary Mischief can be no Reason to discharge the
Persons of Soldiers from being taken upon any Civil
Process, where the Cause of Action is real; which is
a Privilege only belonging to a Peer of the Realm.
"3. Because this Bill doth establish Martial Law, extending to the Life of the Offenders in Time of
Peace, which we conceive contrary to the ancient
Laws of this Kingdom; and the Soldiers are obliged
to obey the Military Orders of their Superior Officers,
under the Penalty of being sentenced by a Court
Martial to suffer Death for (fn. *) his Disobedience, and
that without any Limitation or Restriction, whether
such Orders are agreeable to the Laws of the Realm
or not; when, by the fundamental Laws thereof,
the Commands and Orders of the Crown (the Supreme Authority) are bound and restrained within
the Compass of the Law; and no Person is obliged
to obey any such Order or Command if it be illegal,
and is punishable by Law if he does, notwithstanding any such Order or Command, though from the
"Berkeley of Stratton.
A Message was sent to the House of Commons, by
Sir Thomas Gery and Mr. Hiccocks:
To acquaint them, that the Lords have agreed to the
forementioned Bill, without any Amendment.
Ordered, That an humble Address be presented to
His Majesty, humbly to desire His Majesty, "That He
would be graciously pleased to cause the proper Officers to lay before this House, the Complaints, Informations, and Depositions, relating to the Riots and
Disorders complained of, as lately committed in the
City of Oxford; together with an Account of what
Proceedings have been had thereupon."
Ordered, That the said Address be presented to
His Majesty by the Lords with White Staves.
The House was adjourned during Pleasure, to robe.
The House was resumed.
His Majesty, being seated on His Royal Throne,
adorned with His Crown and Regal Ornaments, and
attended with His Officers of State; the Lords being
also in their Robes; commanded the Gentleman Usher of
the Black Rod to signify to the Commons, "It is His
Majesty's Pleasure, they attend Him immediately, in
this House."
Who being come, with their Speaker; the Clerk of
the Crown read the Title of the Bill to be passed, as
"An Act for punishing Mutiny and Desertion; and
for the better Payment of the Army and their
To which the Clerk Assistant (in the Absence of the
Clerk of the Parliaments) pronounced the Royal Assent,
in these Words; (videlicet,)
"Le Roy le veult."
Then His Majesty was pleased to retire.
And the Commons withdrew.

The pilot continued toward the runway and struck a snowbank 100 feet prior to the runway threshold, sheering off the right landing gear. The pilot applied power, continued to fly down the runway to observe further obstructions, and then returned to land on the departure end of the runway.

Tuesday, September 4, 2012
I am often queried as to how things work and how to explain big concepts in a broader way. Sometimes,
humorously, I am asked to explain things that are in no way within my capabilities, such as the nature of the soul or concepts
of time travel. Generally, those complicated, though interesting, topics are best handled by someone who thinks on those things
more often than I do.
I recently appeared on WCIA's ciLiving TV program (ci stands for Central Illinois) to talk about "Science
you can do with school supplies". I covered a simple chromatography experiment with paper towel strips, colored markers
and water. I demonstrated the capacity of graphite in your pencil "lead" to conduct electricity and followed that
with how someone won a Nobel Prize by playing with graphite and tape to make a super thin substance called graphene and finally
how to make an eraser/superball/silly putty out of school glue and a few other ingredients.
The piece can
be viewed here. The protocols are listed just below the video so you can recreate the experiments yourself
Recently someone asked me about spectrophotometry, and since I've used this measurement
technique many, many times in lab, I figured I'd pull together some resources for those of you curious about it.
is a pretty long word, but breaking it down to its roots is helpful.
Spectr- comes from Latin and means "to
watch, see, or observe".
Photo- comes from Greek and means "light".
comes from Greek and means "to measure".
Let's play around with the word
roots a bit before we get to the entire word, spectrophotometry.
has been widely defined across science, but for what I'll describe refers to optical spectrometry as a technique for
measuring the distribution of light across the optical spectrum, from the UV spectral region to the visible and
infrared. (Do you want your own DIY spectrometer? That link goes to a cool project at kickstarter.)
And, just for fun, here is a photo, whose attribution
I do not have, but will share with you regardless. Someone created a demonstration of the visible light spectra in an array
of nailpolish in bottles:
I think the only way to make that image more compeling would be if the bottles became wider as the
wavelengths increased (as they did with the final red bottle)
Continuing on, then,
is the science of measuring light.
So putting those roots together, spectrophotometry "is
a method to measure how much a chemical substance absorbs light by measuring the intensity of light as a beam of
light passes through sample solution. The basic principle is that each compound absorbs or transmits light over a certain
range of wavelength. This measurement can also be used to measure the amount of a known chemical substance.
is one of the most useful methods of quantitative analysis in various fields such as chemistry, physics, biochemistry, material
and chemical engineering and clinical applications." (ChemWiki)
A spectrophotometer is used to measure the amount of light that a sample absorbs. (note, that link goes to a fancy handheld one)
"The use of spectrophotometers
spans various scientific fields, such as physics, materials science, chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology. They are widely used in many industries
including semiconductors, laser and optical manufacturing, printing and forensic examination, as well in laboratories for
the study of chemical substances. Ultimately, a spectrophotometer is able to determine, depending on the control or calibration,
what substances are present in a target and exactly how much through calculations of observed wavelengths." (wikipedia)
As a
cell biologist, I have used spectrophotometry to analyze the following:
Generally, I'd be running experiments with multiple variables and in tiny volumes, so I'd
most often use
This link, How does a spectrophotometer work? , takes you to a very well done video that I could not embed on this site for some reason. I highly suggest clicking
through and taking a look.
And for the science and some math behind how spectrophotometry works, here is
the Khan Academy explanation. It should really get you up to speed on how this all works.
Khan Academy, Spectrophotometry Introduction:
Finally, here is an online science simulation on spectrophotometry which gives you practice in the steps and the essential parts and concepts of a spectrophotometer. Very well done, even
if it moves a lot slower than the actual procedure. I don't think anything replaces actual hands on work, but this is a good
place to begin.
Please contact me if you have a science topic in particular that you'd like me to explain
and find resources that I can write up in a blog post for the future. Soon, I'll have a video on eponymously named structures
and concepts in neurobiology.

Vancouver real estate: would you live in a 226-square-foot shoebox apartment?
What would you sacrifice to live in paradise?
Would you take a lower-paying job? Give up your car and take transit?
Or would you live in an apartment the size of a college dorm room because it's the only housing there that you can afford?
That's what Vancouver resident Jace Ardiel is doing. A human resources specialist, he rents a 200-odd-square-foot apartment in a building known as the Burns Block for $800 a month.
He tells CTV Vancouver that the space, which has a Murphy bed, showerbox/bathroom and hardly enough space for a dinner table, is more than enough for his needs.
The CTV story goes on to quote developer Jon Stovell of Reliance Properties, who says that all 30 "micro-suites" in Burns Block were rented out in days, Stovell says that young people have a "different view" these days of city living.
Now I know more than a few downtown residents, and many of them would prefer NOT to go out and spend money on every meal. Many would prefer NOT to go out and eat in a park or on a beach when it's raining out, as it often does in Vancouver. Maybe a dinner table, a couch and a couple of chairs is asking too much.
Jace Ardiel's attitude is remarkably upbeat given his situation. His apartment isn't a home. It's a sleeping quarter, a dormitory at best. But even more than that, it's a manifestation of a housing market that is fast squeezing the middle class right out of the city.
To live downtown, it seems, you have to reduce yourself to renting out the square footage of a couple of parking spaces. It's obscene that someone who works in human resources would choose to live like that.
Now it's true, you're not required to live in downtown Vancouver, but for many who work there it's the best possible option. Elsewhere in the city you run the risk of getting caught in traffic, or on a public transit system that doesn't function when it snows – a more regular occurrence these days than in many winters previous.
Not to mention that elsewhere in the city, you might run into similar prices.
Honestly, Vancouver is a great looking place, with rolling mountains and a multitude of recreational activities. But is it worth living in a shoebox?

When a litter report is fully completed, KABC will issue the offender with a fine corresponding to the type of litter.
You are able to report littering from cars to your local council, by providing them with the same details.
In order to maintain your confidentiality, reporters are assigned a number so that your name and address do not have to appear on the card. Watch our litter report ad.
About litter reporting
The registered owner of the vehicle is considered to have committed the offence unless they can give the name of any person authorised by the registered owner to use the vehicle at that time.
The driver is also responsible for their passengers in relation to this offence unless they can give the name and contact details of the passenger concerned.
When littering or dumping from a vehicle is reported to the KABC, a fine or infringement notice is issued to the registered owner. If the registered owner was not the person responsible, there is a section on the infringement notice which can be filled in to give the name and contact details of the person responsible.
If the driver has not committed the offence they may fill in a statutory declaration stating that they did not throw/drop the litter and that they did not see who did. This can be sent to KABC where the fine will be reviewed. It is an offence to make a false or misleading statement on a statutory declaration.
KABC advises litter reporters that the use of mobile phones / devices whilst in control of a motor vehicle is against the law (http://www.ors.wa.gov.au/Documents/Law-Changes/ors-mobile-phones-faq.aspx ). We appreciate the photos of vehicles and offences that you send us however we must make it clear that if you choose to use your mobile phone / device whilst driving you may be fined. KABC will not accept any liability for people being fined for using a mobile phone / device whilst in control of a motor vehicle. Please see below the website for the Office of Road Safety http://www.ors.wa.gov.au/Documents/Law-Changes/ors-mobile-phones-faq.aspx
Company vehicles
Where the vehicle is a company vehicle, the registered owner who receives the fine may send a statutory declaration stating that they did not throw/drop or dump the litter and name the person who was authorised by them to use the vehicle at the time. The declaration must include the name and address of that authorised person. If the owner wishes KABC to consider any other relevant facts relating to the offence, which could disprove the reported litter offence, these must included in the statutory declaration.
Note: All the above options require a Statuatory Declaration. An ordinary letter, fax or e-mail is not acceptable.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) -- The Winnipeg Jets signed forward Anthony Peluso to a $1.125 million, two-year deal Monday.
The 24-year-old Toronto native made his NHL debut last season but played just five games before suffering a season-ending injury.
Peluso was selected in the sixth round of the 2007 draft by the St. Louis Blues. The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder played in 181 American Hockey League games with Peoria, scoring 15 goals and 14 assists with 376 penalty minutes.
He was claimed off waivers by Winnipeg in January 2012.

Julianne Zussman scored a try with the last play of the game to snatch an 11-6 victory for Canada in their second Test with France in Amnéville on Tuesday and ensure the series ended all square at 1-1.
Women's Rugby World Cup 2014 hosts France had won the first encounter 27-19 in Pontarlier on Saturday and both sides now head to England for one-off Tests, France first up on Saturday and Twickenham and then Canada on 13 November at the Twickenham Stoop.
In soggy conditions at the Stade Municipal, Canada took a slender 6-3 lead into half-time with two penalties from Jackie Tittley cancelling out Jessy Trémoulière's effort for the home side.
Trémoulière tied things up within minutes of the restart but in the difficult conditions neither side was able to put points on the board until Zussman ran the ball in from the halfway line to the delight of her teammates.
"We never stopped playing, we created a great volume of play and we were rewarded at the end after multiple phases of play," said Canada coach Francois Ratier.
Forwards coach Gary Dukelow was also pleased with the improvement from the opening match when Canada gave themselves a mountain to climb by going 12-0 down early on.
"We recognised from the first game that we had to win at the breakdown and we focused on that while preparing for this game. To beat the French you must at least match them in the scrum and we dominated."
In the first match, France captain Marie-Alice Yahé had given her side the perfect start with a third minute try and before 15 minutes were on the clock the lead had grown to 12-0 with centre Shanon Izar touching down.
Canada did get on the board through wing Bianca Farella, who weaved her way through half the French defence to score the first of her two tries in the match, but the hosts hit back again with Izar's second to lead 19-7 at half-time.
That quickly became 24-7 with Audrey Parra scoring a fourth try for France but Canada kept battling and were rewarded with tries from Sevens star Magali Harvey and Farella, leaving Ratier frustrated "because we could have won today".
France now turn their attentions to facing England at Twickenham, a venue they became the first side to beat England with a 30-20 win in the Six Nations earlier this year. Canada then tackle their WRWC 2014 Pool A opponents England hoping to finish the year on a high.

Khushf, George (2007) Importance of a midterm time horizon for addressing ethical issues integral to nanobiotechnology. Journal of long-term effects of medical implants, 17 (3). pp. 263-9. ISSN 1050-6934

There is a consensus emerging on the importance of upstream ethical engagement in nanobiotechnology. Such a preventive ethic would anticipate downstream concerns that might arise and mitigate them as part of the research and development process. However, there is an unappreciated tension between the time horizon of upstream ethics and that assumed by most bioethical research. Current standards of high-quality research on ethical issues biases the research in favor of near-term, science-based, results-oriented work. A near-term focus would miss many of the important ethical issues integral to nanobiotechnology and undermine the goals integral to upstream ethical engagement. However, if we move to a far-term time horizon, the ethical debates tend to get too speculative and are no longer disciplined by existing research trajectories. This paper addresses the link between the midterm time horizon necessary for upstream ethics and the form, content, and style of ethical reflection. New paradigm cases, standards, and criteria will be needed for high-quality upstream ethics work in the area of nanobiotechnology.

A little about me...
When I look at life, I try to see those areas of love that I haven't explored yet as well as to rediscover those avenues of life and love that were exciting and to try them again. I enjoy the simplier things of life and I find that listening, understanding and caring for others is becoming more important.
About the one I'm looking for...
My ideal person needs to be comfortable by herself before entering into a relationship. She needs to respect others and expect the same in return. She needs to bring her own passion to life and not expect others to make her passionate. She should have simple old fashioned values in spite of this very complicated world we live in. In addition to these things, she should have a sense of humor, a playfullness about her, integrity, self-confidence, easy-going and will have the ability to treat their partner in life as well as she does her friends. Irish -American heritage and if you have worked in scouting that would be nice.I will respond if you provide a photo.
I'd just like to add...
When it comes down to my most simple need, it would be that no matter what I do in the world, if it is with the right lady, everything that I would do with her would make both of us. Shopping marathons would be the only exception - sorry.

I'm a terrible shopper. I really am. Terrible as in, I'm itching to go shopping whenever I'm not working, bored, or whenever I'm feeling down. Earlier this week, I wandered into the Chanel store to take a gander at all the beautiful bags, pondering if there were any more lovelies to add to my "must have before I die" list. Lucky for my future wallet, there was nothing else I really wanted besides my usual 2.55 jumbo classic red flap in caviar leather.
Just then, a wonderful salesman happened to ask me if there was anything he could help me with, and I inquired about my dream bag out of curiosity (it's really hard to find the purse and if you do, there's always a waiting list). He proceeded to tell me that there was a waiting list of about twelve people and that they'd only be getting five (for the year, I'm assuming?). Before I knew it, he was adding me to the wait list so that I would be informed when they received my dream bag for me.
I walked out of the store thinking, "What the heck did I just do?" But there was no harm done because I didn't and won't get charged anything– I'd just be the first to know when the purse came in. I definitely don't have the money right now to buy that purse (not quite sure if I ever will), but I told myself that I will be a proud owner of it before I die. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
OH! I would also love to welcome my boyfriend's third niece, Giuliana Rose, into the world!
This recipe is from Miss in the Kitchen. The cookies are made with powdered sugar, so the cookie itself is very light and fluffy. They don't spread at all, but I was fine with it because they looked like cute little buttons. These toffee butter cookies were not heavy at all and had such a lightweight texture. Toffee and butter complement each other wonderfully and I wouldn't change a thing about this recipe.
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butter,softened, no substitutes
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat together with electric mixer, butter and powdered sugar, add egg and vanilla, beat until fluffy.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and toffee bits, beat at low speed until well combined.
- Use a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon full rounded into balls and place 2 inches apart on greased or lined cookie sheets.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until cookies are starting to brown on the edges. Cool on cookie sheet for a couple of minutes, move to wire rack to finish cooling.

Porras de Rata
Rose Marjalino
A star not shine, Am wondering why
I am much worried, I want to cry
Want to call, at least say HI!
But I resist, I feel timid .
Did I do wrong?, I do not know
Anything haven't seen, even it's shadow
This time I doubt, I cannot follow
The rays of my star, that are quite shallow.
A star of mine, from million miles
I kept in my dream, hoping it's nice
Watching the sky, he's on my eyes
It's on my heart, can never disguise.
Everyone may say, I am stupid
To love a star, that never been vivid
I know at start, impossible indeed
But I trusted God, he has a lot of cupid.
For my dear STAR, my thought are yours
You know my love, only all yours
But I know it's over, and becoming worse
I'll have to suppress it, in full endeavor
I am a model, according to women
Because I am strong, never keep on fallin'
In the mid of hardship, I keep on movin'
Never hate life but positive thinkin'
Maybe they are right, that is what they see
Nobody knows, it's never been easy
To keep up straight, this life of misery
Only God knows, I am pretending in front of many
Composer: Ma. Rose Marjalino
For all these years, I slept, don't want to wake up
Even in the sky, I don't want to look up
To watch the stars, even the moon on top
For me there's nothing, but all are props.
The morning comes, a cloudy sky
Nothing to see, the birds that fly
Nothing can feel, a heart that cry
Life has no value, no need to fight
One day I noticed, I made to rise
To teach myself, how to be wise
To learn to compete and how to survive
In this world of fools, and full of sacrifice.
Along the way, I closed my heart
I closed my eyes, and even doors
I made to sure, I'm always apart
From all of them ,I considered tart
I'll rather sleep than to go out
I'll rather work, than to chat out
For me better chances will just come out
If God provides, HE will call me out
In the month of the hearts, what a surprise
A wonderful sun, made to rise
In front of me, a beautiful eyes
I know my heart never lies
I don't want to get up, if it is a dream
I want to deny, but I know I care
All of the sudden ,the feeling is there
I can't explain, what this really mean
A dream I wish, it should not end
At least a face beyond the wind
It is not clear, but still I claim
Beyond those clouds, I have a friend
I know in time, this might be ended
But for me, a moment to be treasured
I'll never forget, the happiness we shared
I know in my heart, Love can never be denied
" I am inspired by a special person close to my heart, when the time I did it between my 15 minutes coffee break in the office"

The extracts on this page are taken from selected national newspapers. The views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the views of Manchester United.
Mark Ogden writes in the Daily Telegraph...
United to reward Giggs with new contract
Manchester United are to open contract talks with Ryan Giggs within the next month in an attempt to secure the 37 year-old to a new one-year deal at Old Trafford. Giggs, who made his 600th league appearance for United in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Tottenham Hotspur, has just six months left to run on his present contract. The Welshman is approaching the 20th anniversary of his senior United debut in March, but having made 18 appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's team this season, the club's chief executive, David Gill, has admitted that talks are planned to reward the veteran with a contract that will take him beyond his 38th birthday. Gill said: "I wouldn't be surprised if he extends his contract for another season. That will be addressed in the next month or so. He has been playing well, keeps himself in great shape and is a wonderful advert for the modern footballer."
The Daily Express quotes Dimitar Berbatov on his pursuit of the Golden Boot award as well as the league title. The United striker has responded well to Sir Alex Ferguson's demand for more goals, netting 14 times this season. Berbatov said: "I just hope I can stay on the top until the end of the season because the competition is really strong. Obviously the goals I score help the team to win points, which is the most important thing."
Meanwhile, Reds legend Eric Cantona has made a shock return to football – as Director of Soccer at the New York Cosmos. The Sun quotes: "It's a big project, a wonderful project. The Cosmos are very strong, beautifully made, with a great past. It's kind of a mix between football and art."

Floral patterned tights from Chloe
I don't know how much you normally spend on hosiery, but my habit of laddering even the thickest denier within minutes would definitely put me off paying £60 for a pair of tights. That's how much you'll pay for these floral patterned ones by Chloe, and although I haven't seen these in person, and so can't vouch for the quality, I'd venture to suggest that a large part of that cost comes from the Chloe name alone.
I like the pattern, and despite mourning the end of summer, am secretly looking forward trying out some of the new breed of patterned tights we've been seeing come into the stores recently, but I think I'm going to have to wait for a high street copy to become available first. If you can't wait that long, you can get these ones at Net-a-Porter.
