The Academy of the Holy Angels is very pleased to report the results of the 2014 Advanced Placement Exams that were given this past spring. The College Board Advanced Placement Program enables high school students to take college level classes and earn college credit for them when they achieve passing scores. Holy Angels administered 401 AP exams in eighteen different subject areas to its 174 AP students who achieved an overall passing rate of 94%. A Holy Angels record was achieved when 84 of its students were named AP Scholars by the College Board. Of these students, 35 were named AP Scholars with Distinction, having scored an average of 3.5 or higher on at least five exams. They are: Elena Aversa '14 (Englewood Cliffs), Anastasiya Bazalyuk '14 (Fair Lawn), Adrianna Bergstein '14 (Tenafly), Andrea Cho '14 (Pomona), who was also designated a National AP Scholar for having achieved an average score of at least 4 on all exams and scores of 4 or higher on 8 or more of these exams, Katelyn Colman '14 (Mahwah), Lily Cunniff '14 (Harrington Park), Caitlin Daniels '14 (Closter), Emma Dibernardo '14 (Pearl River), Katherine Drury '14 (Wyckoff), Christen Duff '14 (Glen Rock), Alyssa Gentile '14 Hillsdale), Catherine Hahn '14 (Westwood), Rachel Hudspeth '14 (Lodi), Elle Infante '14 (Demarest), Ah Young Jeon '14 (Fort Lee), Amanda Kelly '14 (Englewood), Lydon Kersting '14 (Park Ridge), Melissa Kinoian '14 (Paramus), Emily Kolodka '14 (Verona), Anne Loftus '14 (Pearl River), Effie Mathew '14 (Teaneck), Regina Mathew '14 (Bergenfield), Jessica McCann '14 (Cresskill), Dylann Mclaughlin '14 (Montclair), Morgan Mellas '14 (Wyckoff), Danielle Pavon '14 (Orangeburg), Allison Pereira '14 (River Edge), Veronica Pirog '14 (Clifton), Kira Pusch '14 (Tappan), Kayla Quigley '14 (Emerson), Sarah Qureshi '14 (Englewood Cliffs), Sujatha Raman '14 (Fair Lawn), Stacie Rinda '14 (Park Ridge), Julia Spaar '14 (River Vale) and Alana Spendley '14 (Maywood).

Ever thought how can I add a bit of wow factor or do something different with my print work to make it stand out? An often overlooked effect is the use of fluted or embossed foiling – gives texture and reflection in an otherwise flat world.
In recent years we have over used spot uv and soft touch laminate to the max that it is now everywhere and people are asking for alternatives and this is an old craft that has been vastly underused for years.
At Blunt this is one of the areas that we want to not only specialise in but push and experiment with to create memorable print that people will be pulling out of their archives as mini works of art for years to come.
It is achieved by creating a die and counter like you would for a blind embossing job – but in a way that allows the foil and emboss to be created simultaneously, creating a multi level image rather than just a single level emboss.

Problemist Diary 5: A merry-go-round tale of problems
by Satanick Mukhuty - 05/07/2019
When a beginner is just starting his journey into chess, it is mostly the visual appeal of the game that seduces him and keeps him going. The understanding of deeper intricacies comes much later, initially it is just the way pieces move on board, the vivid patterns they create is what spark off interest. In the present article, the author Satanick Mukhuty, takes you back to this primal fascination. The topic is Rundlauf , a distinctly geometric theme, and there are five problems - all masterworks by giants of composition. So put your thinking caps on and dive in!
Problemist Diary Part V - Rundlauf
'Round-trip' would be the most suitable English equivalent of the German word Rundlauf. In the context of chess problems, the term describes the return of a piece to its initial square as in the diagram position by means of a circuitous route. The piece might sometimes traverse a well-defined geometric shape (eg: square, triangle etc), other times it might be a completely weird roundabout path. As a basic example let us consider the following theoretical endgame position:
White to play and win
The Black king has the opposition here and is keeping the white king out. However, if White had the opposition (that is, if it were Black to move in the position) then the black king would have to move away from d7 and allow the white king to make progress
White's winning plan thus consists of carrying out a triangulation with his king and losing a tempo in the process. After 1.Ke5 Kc6 2.Kd4 Kd7 3.Kd5, the same position has been reached with the difference that now it is Black's turn. Note 1.c6+? Kc8 2.Kd6 Kb8 instead would have been only a draw.
Note the white king has carried out a triangular movement to return to its original square and has lost a tempo in the process so that now its Black to move!
In the position above, the black king has to move from d7 after which White wins easily. Triangulation is a known technique in endgames and is the simplest example of a Rundlauf maneuver. But apart from this its occurrence is quite rare in over-the-board play, for moving a single piece multiple times in a loop is seemingly quite a counterproductive act. In chess problems however this effect (owing to its paradoxical nature) is realized with great pomp. Let us begin by looking at a pristinely economic rendition of the theme with a bishop.
Stefan Schneider, Deutsche Schachzeitung 1956, 1st Prize
White to play and mate in 10 moves
The solution begins with 1.Ba4 threatening Bd7#, Black parries with 1...Kf5 and after 2.Bd7+ Ke4 3.Be8 White is again threatening mate in 1 on g6!
White subjects his adversary through a systematic series of mate threats
The play continues 3...Kf5 4.Bg6+ Ke6 5.Bh5 and now Bxg4# is threatened!
The white bishop continues to nag the black king!
Next comes 5...Kf5 6.Bxg4+ Ke4 7.Bd1 threatening Bc2#
The bishop has travelled all around the board to return to its original square c2
With 7...Kf5 8.Bc2+ Ke6 the bishop completes its Rundlauf, but to what end?
Observe the starting position was the same, only there was a pawn on g4 ... How does this make a difference?
Well, without the g4 pawn here comes 9.f5+ Kxe5 10.f4# an exquisite pawn mate!
The bishop did all that (rectangulation if you will) to dislodge the g4 pawn and facilitate this stunning mate with a pawn!
The next problem we see is another masterpiece achieved with slender force but this time showing the theme with a knight!
A.Shuriakov & V.Syzonenko, Chervony Girnik 1985
Here, the starting position is similar to that in Problem 1, the centralized knights on e5 and d6 limit the black king's flight. The key move is 1.Ne8 threatening Nf6#, Black is forced to move 1...Ke4 and the play also continues in the same vein, with white threatening a series of mate-in-1s: 2.Nf6+ Kf5 3.Nh5 (Threat: Ng3#) 3...Ke4 4.Ng3+ Kd5 5.Nxe2 (Threat: Nc3#) 5...Ke4 6.Nc3+ Kf5 7.Nb5 (Threat: Nd6#) 7...Ke4 8.Nd6+ Kd5 and the knight has completed its trip!
After 8...Kd5 the position is same as in the beginning but the pawn on e2 has been snapped off ... How does this make a difference?
Now White can go 9.Nd3! threatening Nb4#, earlier with the black pawn on e2 this could be simply defended by e1=Q, but now Black has to go 9...Kc6 and after 10.d5+ Kc7 (10...Kxd5 11.Nb4+ Ke5 12.f4#) 11.Nb4 there is no way to prevent 12.Na6#
After 11.Nb4 Black finds itself in an unfortunate situation, there is no way to avoid 12.Na6#
Now here is a mind-boggling production by the first German Grandmaster of chess composition Hans Peter Rehm. It shows a pair of rook rundlaufs (yes, a pair!) with amazing perfection!
Hans Peter Rehm, Deutsche Schachblätter 1977, 1st Prize
Mate in 10
The solution begins with 1.Rg6 (threatening Be6#) Black must vacate the c6 square for the king, but how? 1...Rb6 runs into 2.Rg4 after which Rxd4# can't be stopped, so by elimination the best move for Black is 1...Ra6, the play continues 2.Rg4 Be4 3.Rxe4 Ra4 (Note 2...Ra4 right-away leads to quicker mate with 3.c4+ Rxc4 4.Rg6 Rc6 5.Be6#) 4.c4+ Rxc4 5.Re6 Rc6 and both the rooks have completed their round-trips. Now what?
The position after 5...Rc6 is (almost) same as in the beginning but now there's no bishop on h1 ... Can you see the difference it creates?
The play goes 6.Rg6 Ra6 once again, and then comes 7.Rg4 Ra4 8.c4+
Position after 8.c4+ ... What happens if Black takes the pawn en-passant?
8...dxc3 (e.p) runs into 9.Rxa4 and now 10.e4# can't be prevented. So the mainline goes 8...Rxc4 and now comes the final blow 9.Rg6 threatening 10.Rxd6#
With 9.Rg6 it is game over for Black, because now 9...Rc6 takes away the Black king's flight square and allows 10.Be6#
A brilliant stratagem by a brilliant composer!
The problem we have now is in spirit akin to the king triangulation idea we have seen in the beginning of this article!
René Jean Millour, The Problemist 2004, 1st-2nd Prize
White to play and mate in 20
In the above position a mate is set with Nxc3 if the black bishop ever leaves the b4 square. Therefore the only mobile pieces Black has is the bishop on h3 and the pawn on g7, if White manages to put these two pieces off the board then the bishop on b4 will be forced to move and Nxc3# will then follow! So how does White go about executing this plan? Well, check it out below for yourself!
The white king carried out two picturesque trips along the above lines to bring his plans to fruition. A fascinating work of art by the great French composer René Jean Millour!
So, we saw four renditions of the rundlauf theme with Bishop, Knight, Rook, and King. To bring this to a successful completion we must also have a queen rundlauf. We pose the next problem as an unsolved exercise for you to think about. It's not difficult and that it involves a queen rundlauf should be a big hint!
Erik Gustav Schultz, Tidskrift för Schack 1904, 1st Prize
White to play and mate in 4

BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – CNN Chief Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin blasted President Trump's legal team, arguing that its composition — all white men — highlighted how Democrats cared more about diversity.
"White House and white people," Toobin said. "This is a lesson in the diversity of the two parties — I mean you look at the House managers. It was almost evenly divided between men and women. You had two African-Americans, you had a Hispanic."
"Did you have an issue with an all white democratic debate earlier this month?" he was later asked.
"Not really," answered Toobin. "We democrats already had a black president. So in that regard, I think we met our quota for the next hundred years. Now it's time for the power to be returned to 'my' people."

Lessons In Journalism, Populism And Diversity At ITN London
October 17, 2014 October 29, 2014 Samuel Hooper
I walked through a doorway, found myself standing in the ITV National News studio, and for a moment I was shocked to realise that I didn't recognise the space at all.
Not because of the floor-to-ceiling green screen backdrop and the absence of the computer-generated background – the final version, familiar to viewers, was displayed on a monitor to the side – but because I hadn't deliberately or consciously watched the ITV News in more than a decade. The news desk, the set, the logo – nothing seemed familiar or evoked the old ITV I remembered from the late 1990s.
I'm a voracious reader and consumer of domestic and international news. In fact, I'm currently embarking on a side career in political journalism. And yet I had somehow become untuned from one of Britain's main news outlets. Should that be cause for concern?
The reason I was deep inside ITN's London newsroom at all is thanks to an invitation to attend the Creative Diversity Network open day, one of many similar events being held around the country where major broadcasters (Sky, BBC, CNN, ITN and others) open their doors to give people from ethnic and socially diverse backgrounds the taste of a career in TV journalism. My invitation came through Poached Creative, the social enterprise with whom I trained earlier this year.
Two decades ago, when the creep of cable television and internet news into our homes was just beginning, ITN and their BBC rival held a virtual monopoly in our living rooms when we wanted to see the news. At times of international crisis or national mourning, it would be the faces of people such as ITN's Alastair Stewart – behind whose desk I found myself standing at one point during the tour – who would break the bad news, solemnly keep us updated and, through their regular presence, reassure us that all would be well.
We have come a long way in twenty years. News can now be consumed on a computer or mobile device from sources as numerous as news websites, blogs, RSS feeds, Twitter, Facebook and of course the greatest nemesis of television news, YouTube.
But for people such as myself fluent in these new technologies – and the news editors and proprietors who increasingly see people like me as a prime demographic – it can be easy to forget that not everyone chooses, or is able, to receive the news in these innovative new ways.
The Master Control Room (MCR) at the ITN London studios
My daily news consumption might often consist of a click through the top stories on the Telegraph and Guardian newspaper websites, followed by a browse of what the Economist and Spectator websites have to say. Then come my favourite bloggers and discussion forums, some with a broad focus and others on very specific topics of interest. And regular checking of Twitter and Facebook feeds almost inevitably yields up more items of interest.
My television news viewing habits, by contrast, are sporadic and almost intentionally designed not to provide a large-scale overview (I do that through my self-assembled online monitoring) but rather to plug any gaps that my regular websites or social media streams have not filled. Perhaps there is an interesting debate happening in Westminster, and so I will tune in to BBC Parliament a few hours.
The one thing almost entirely missing from my chosen sources of news? The regularly scheduled bulletins on terrestrial television channels.
Why? Because I almost never find myself already watching BBC One or ITV when Big Ben strikes six, nine or ten o'clock, and because I can fill what I perceive to be the gaps in my knowledge much more immediately and conveniently elsewhere.
So what is the role of terrestrial television news in twenty-first century Britain? And how far should organisations such as ITN (and their client ITV) go to attract younger, more digitally savvy people in order to arrest their declining audience figures?
At various points throughout the open day – whether we were hearing from ITN's managing editor Robin Elias or his enthusiastic technical and editorial team – ITN staff were eager to stress their organisation's universality. We were told (correctly) that unlike the newspapers who preach confirmation bias-reinforcing propaganda approved by their proprietors, they have an almost sacred – or at least legal – duty to cater to the whole nation.
But how to do it? How to report the news in an OFCOM-approved way while simultaneously striving to appeal to the younger demographic who are now used to getting their news online (if they knew any other way at all)?
There were times during the CDN Open Day spent with ITN that I felt a pang of sympathy for the many talented, hardworking people there. Old media faces a genuine quandary – with the fracturing and disaggregation of the media industry, organisations such as ITN are on one hand told to create compelling content on platforms that can be accessed by the whole nation, while one of the only audience segments who stuck around just wants the old product, done the way it was always done. And all of this with ever-shrinking budgets and more limited resources.
ITV News's Alastair Stewart consults with colleagues at a desk in the ITN London studio
But as I travelled home my feelings changed and I started to think that maybe it was I, the technologically literate millennial, who was missing out, and not them. Was I not being condescending toward this organisation brim full of talented professionals, in assuming (even though the viewership data back me up) that just because I and others like me don't (or haven't) been tuning in, that it was they who were somehow sliding into irrelevance and decline? What if it was me who was the one losing out?
ITV News may have become less relevant to my life but this is not the case for millions of other Britons, whose tastes, interests and preferences are no less valid – and sometimes considerably more lucrative and influential – than mine. At times, half living in a digital world, it can be easy to forget that for some people the word Twitter means next to nothing.
For these people – and in truth, for us all – the importance of regularly scheduled, high quality and impartial news programmes never diminished. The staff of ITN who so kindly hosted us on the CDN Open Day do important work, educating and informing the nation. When, in my teens, I got distracted by blogs, tempted by the ease of newspaper websites and hooked on Twitter and YouTube, the people working in traditional media (and the parts of it that creatively try to reach out to the young) carried on with the job. Alastair Stewart kept reporting the news, faithfully, diligently, honestly. Just unwatched by me.
But just as those who make no attempt to understand the interests and habits of the younger generation will continue to lose touch with them, so I have now come to see that by letting ITV News and other terrestrial news broadcasts fall off my personal radar, I have unintentionally harmed my own ability to understand, empathise and connect with a significant proportion of my fellow countrymen.
And I am not alone. With so many television channels and websites to choose from, and ever more news sources competing for our attention, it becomes increasingly unlikely that our personal 'news feed' will be the same as our neighbour's. Just as Netflix and Sky+ mean we no longer watch the latest episode our favourite TV shows at the same time, so the fractured news market means that the idea of watching the daily news bulletin as a shared national experience has become an almost laughable anachronism.
This would be fine if I was just another disinterested member of the British public. But as a blogger of several years and newly minted political journalist who increasingly takes the establishment to task for failing to understand or relate to people unlike themselves (the poor, the aspirational working class, UKIP voters…) my failure to resist the pressure to narrow down and pre-filter my information world has been a grievous omission.
But having now had the opportunity to experience the beating heart of a national newsroom and see a live bulletin prepared and delivered – a wake up call that the world I left behind in 1999 is still very much there – it is an omission that will at last be rectified.
For the first time in maybe a decade, tonight I will sit and watch the ITV News at Ten.

Cheese on toast with a difference, this rich combination is ideal for lunch with a crispy salad.
This vegetarian dish combines vibrant heritage ingredients with creamy cheese and the crunch of hazelnuts.
There's surely no better sharing starter than nachos, loaded with guacamole, sour cream and molten manchego cheese.
This rich and creamy vegetable side dish is perfect to accompany a meat dish, or works as a comforting snack.

For the past few months DuoXXI has been recording tracks for a new CD of works for Cello and Violin. The duo consists of Mira Frisch, Cello and Anna Cromwell, Violin. All of the compositions are new and several composers are contributing. Composers include Ronald Parks (Winthrop University), Joseph Dangerfield (Coe College), David Maki (Northern Illinois University), Stephen Anderson (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) and John Allemeier (University of North Carolina at Charlotte).
The Clips of Dark Dances were recorded at the studio.
One of the really great things I get to do in the studio is to record a number of outstanding classical singers. These recordings range from full CD's to audition tapes and demos. Many of these singers are highly trained and super talented so it is a real pleasure to capture this talent .
Since even the largest room here at the studio (and most studios throughout the world) is not even close to creating a concert hall ambience we use the legendary Sony DRE-777 Sampling Reverb (no longer in production) to create the proper ambience. This unit uses samples from great halls all over the world to create an incredibly realistic sonic environment. Better yet-after the recording is done we can experiment with different halls and pick the perfect hall to compliment a singer's voice.
Here is a link to Pianist Katerina Souvorova's Belcantanti Site.
Scroll to the bottom and listen to the Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff songs which were recorded at the studio.
This CD is for listeners who can truly appreciate quality and who know seasoned professionals when they hear them play. These days, many CDs are merely a collection of good musicians who get together to impress each other with how well they can play, but Will Campbell's compositions and arrangements as well as his lyrical playing gives these excellent musicians a sense of clarity and direction. I enjoyed listening to every minute of this CD.
This soulful, swinging CD has everything I look for: Finely crafted original music played with beautiful rapport and expert execution, which these days is all too rare. Enjoy.
Will Campbell's debut CD is a wonderful reflection in flowing forward with tradition and individuality. He is a beautifully melodic player with his own unique harmonic flow and sound on the alto.

It happened last month but this is the first chance I have had to write about it: Finally after 40 years Major League baseball recognized my father Jerry Dior for designing the Major League baseball logo in 1968. For years I would tell friends this only to be met by barely disguised skepticism. After all-If he designed that shouldn't you be rich and if so why are you on this crappy gig!!!
This process took about 10 years so I'm really glad it has come to fruition. Personally I never thought MLB would do anything since a). They did not have to and b). They could open themselves up to financial issues.
But the fact is that my dad never wanted any kind of financial restitution whatsoever. He just wanted to be recognized for the thing that he is most proud of in his graphic design career. Most logos undergo many changes over their useful lifetimes but this one is completely unchanged in 40 years and it's everywhere you look. I think he is very proud of that fact alone.
One thing that really bugged me is that a comic book artist named James Sherman has said he designed it for many years now but that obviously was not the case. You can also search on the web for this – it's a very interesting story which should invoke in you a mixture of laughter and disgust.
Anyway, as a result of the acknowledgement MLB honored my father at both Yankee Stadium and Citi field (the Mets home) in September. I went to the ceremony at Yankee stadium and it was truly awesome. I have attached some pictures at the end of this post.
If this story teaches us anything it teaches us that perseverance pays off (my mom worked on this tirelessly for several years) and that large corporations-MLB in this case, are sometimes really capable of doing the right thing even if it takes a very long time.
There is tons of stuff on line about this story and if you are interested you can do a search on google for Jerry Dior MLB logo.
I just finished a run of the musical South Pacific at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center here in Charlotte. This was the touring version of the Lincoln Center revival that opened in 2008. It's a great show that has really held up over time. I had forgotten how much great music (Rogers and Hammerstein) came from that show and the orchestrations (Robert Russell Bennett) are fantastic. The show was somewhat unusual in that it was completely acoustic. No synths at all which is all but unheard of in modern times but was obviously the norm in the 1940's-1960's. The pit contained a large complement of strings winds and brass which in most other touring shows are somewhat covered or enhanced by several keyboard synth players. As a result the pit was very quiet sonically and I felt as if I were playing an orchestral gig.
As with most shows I do I had to devise a custom setup since you have to play the mallet instruments and timpani within or in close proximity to the drum set parts. Not shown in the picture are a set of vibes and a marimba which are used very sparingly in the show. For more show info see "a tale of two shows" at my percussion site. This article discusses how to deal with and create complex setups.
Next show coming up is Wicked which I will be playing for a month starting in late May. I will post extensively on this show since it is a real challenge and the setup is huge!

These automation projects will return our investment in three to four years and continue to differentiate our manufacturing capability," Lawson concluded.
Spirit's backlog at the end of the first quarter was $46 billion driven by strong commercial aerospace demand.
Free cash flow was a $384 million* source of cash for the first quarter of 2015, compared to a ($8) million* use of cash in the first quarter of 2014 due to tax refunds associated with the Gulfstream divestiture and reduction in accounts receivable. (Table 2)

The common smooth-hound (Mustelus mustelus) is a houndshark of the family Triakidae. It is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean from the British Isles to South Africa, and in the Mediterranean Sea, Madeira, and the Canary Islands at depths ranging from 5 to 625 m (although they usually stay at depths of 5-50m). While they can grow to 200 cm, their usual maximum size is 150 cm. They commonly grow to 100–120 cm with a birth length around 35 cm.
The reproduction of commons smooth-hounds is viviparous.

Morphology and behavior
The common smooth-hound has a grey-brown back and is white on its underneath. It is often confused with the starry smooth-hound, which has white spots on its back. The starry smooth-hound can often have faded spots that leads to misidentification. Another shark with which it is often confused is the tope shark, although the common smooth-hound has a larger second dorsal fin.
The common smooth-hound has two dorsal fins, an anal fin, a pair of pectoral fins, a pair of pelvic fins, and a heterocercal tail. All of these fins help stabilise the shark, but in males, the pelvic fins are modified to form claspers.

Like other smooth-hound sharks, the common smooth-hound aggregates in large numbers, like a pack of dogs, so they are called hounds.

SCOTTY MOORE — THE LAST MAN STANDING
Posted on May 20, 2007 by Phil Arnold | Leave a comment
Graceland is a National Historic Landmark. Sun Records is a National Historic Place. I think we need one other special category – National Historic Person, and I have a fine nominee: Scotty Moore.
What qualifies Scotty Moore as a National Historic Person? Well, let's see. On July 5, 1954, when Elvis recorded his first song, there were four men in the studio. The guitar player was Scotty Moore, and he had a lot to do with creating that unique sound. Scotty Moore's guitar work made an immeasurable contribution to the initial success of Elvis' music.
The other three men there that historic night are all dead. Bill Black died in 1965, Elvis passed away in 1977, and Sam Phillips left us in 2003. That's too bad, because the session when "That's All Right" was recorded was a very special moment in history. Three men gone, only one left. Scotty Moore, the last man standing.
It is now 53 years since that magic moment, and it's nice to know that Scotty is still alive and well. Don't count on seeing him at many more Elvis Weeks. It might happen, it might not. But we know one thing for sure. We can see him this year. Scotty is headlining two tribute concerts at Elvis Week 2007.
Those fans that admire and cherish Scotty Moore were thrilled to hear they could catch him on Wednesday, August 15, at the Peabody Hotel. To you folks that are going to Elvis Week but haven't yet decided what to see, I'm telling you, buy tickets to one of Scotty's two shows. They are going to be great.
Scotty Moore – The Last Man Standingis a unique concert concept. Both the 2 PM and 5 PM shows are double concerts. Scotty has invited two groups of his favorite musician buddies to perform, and they jumped at the chance to be on stage with him during Elvis Week.
Scotty has a recording studio in his home, and he has had a blast with a group of Nashville musicians. After practicing and recording two-dozen R&B and blues songs, some from the Elvis library, they decided to call themselves "The Mighty Handful." I've heard most of the songs, and these guys do a spectacular job. I hope there is a little section of the Peabody Grand Ballroom left open for dancing, because this is very danceable music.
Here's a rundown of the men in "The Mighty Handful." The biggest name is sax player supreme, Boots Randolph, like Scotty, another legend. He will steal the show, just like he always does. Billy Swan will do the vocals. Billy has tremendous stature among the Nashville music community as a successful songwriter, tour manager, producer, and singer (biggest hit – "I Can Help" — # 1, 1974). This grand performer will get a opportunity to show his stuff at The Last Man Standing, and he will not disappoint. Steve Shepherd has played with Scotty many times and was a long-time bandmate of Ronnie McDowell. Steve's keyboard work will add so much to the sound of the concert. The other musicians in the band will be Bucky Barrett (Roy Orbison's guitarist), Bob Moore (who followed Bill Black with Elvis) on bass, Fred Satterfield on drums, and Buddy Spicher on fiddle.
Just seeing these guys would be enough for me, but there is more — another group of Scotty's buddies, this one from England: The Grundy-Pritchard Band. Scotty is much revered in England and Europe, so he has been traveling over there to perform since 1992. On every tour, he has played with Liam Grundy and Pete Pritchard and various other musicians in their group at the time. Scotty has recorded with them on the CD Western Union. In recent years, Paul Ansell, who has had a two-decade career with his own band "Number 9," handled the lead vocals. Scotty also recorded with Ansell on the CD Live At Sun.
On the DVD, A Tribute To The King, Scotty and The Grundy-Pritchard Band did a superb job on six Elvis rockabilly and blues songs. They covered "Shake, Rattle, and Roll," "A Mess of the Blues," "One Night," "I Forgot To Remember To Forget," "Reconsider Baby," and "Ready Teddy." The music was tight, Ansell's vocals were dead-on, and the end result was very impressive.
So, if you want some good entertainment at Elvis Week, take in the double concert Scotty Moore – The Last Man Standing. Scotty will be appearing at no other events in Memphis that week. This is the exclusive appearance of the genuine article, the last man standing. And sadly, it's looking more and more like a farewell performance.
Join Scotty Moore's many fans in honoring and appreciating him while you still can. Scotty may not have official recognition as a National Historic Person, but he truly is a national treasure.
Scotty's long-time friend Darwin Lamm, Editor of Elvis…The Magazine, is presenting these concerts. To get tickets, call 818-991-3892, or e-mail elvisint@aol.com.. See you in Memphis.

As winter descends at last upon the northern hemisphere, we at Earth Mantra don our soft flannel pajamas, curl up in a big comfortable blanket, fill our cup with piping hot tea, and ease ourselves back in our listening chair for another season of delightful ambience. Our favorite time of year is the cold months, when the winds outside blow fierce from the arctic north, but inside we relax snug and warm, the perfect setting for ambient music. And amid this setting, along comes the newest release from Darren Harper, called Whispers. Shorter than his usual fare, clocking in at only forty two minutes and change, this release nonetheless perfectly mirrors our love for the winter, a wondrous sound track for contemplation as the temperature falls.
Darren describes the release as a collection of "transition pieces", which still carry a bit of summery warmth but with anticipation of autumn's chill. He reports that as he composed the pieces in September of 2010, the scenery where he lives in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains changed quickly, from mild warmth to sudden snow, something Darren lovingly interpreted in this music as "whispers of a changing season". Indeed, the sense of enigma and change can be found everywhere in these pieces, echoing the passage of time and the winter transformation of the natural world.
Musically, these pieces could be described as lighter drones, with chimes, suspended synths, piano, and acoustic guitar, but really we would simply call them sublime. The sounds drift soothingly along, like leaves blowing quietly in the wind, with a constant sense of direction but imposing no requirement on the listener to ascribe any purpose at all to the music other than repose. Ambient music comes in a lot of forms, but one of our favorites is the pure undiluted kind, the ambience that just 'is', in a very present and zen-like sort of way. We consider Whispers a nearly perfect example of such a creation, the kind of music that becomes a constant companion for those quiet times as the skies grow dark and heavy with snow.
So with great pleasure we unveil the latest release by Darren Harper, an album of great beauty and profound depth. This is a release that we are very proud to bring to our listeners on Earth Mantra, and one that leaves us hoping for much more from Darren in the future.
This is truly beautiful, restful and sublime. Thank you!
I really like this. Nice music drawn with careful brush-strokes. Drones, of course, which I love. And it fits the theme nicely. A quality release.


Difference Between Orange Juice and Orange Juice Drink ?
How many of us know the difference between Orange Juice and Orange Juice Drink? They are basically the same in layman's term. But technically, differences exist. Some difference are obvious.
The first difference is the price. Orange Juice is prized much higher than Orange Juice Drink. You can buy the first for 35 pesos or higher, while the latter cost only seven pesos or less. I used to choose the cheaper . Now, I only buy Orange juice drink when my wallet cannot afford the expensive one.
The second is the taste. Orange Juice tastes fruitier than Orange juice drink. Tastes like real orange fruit. The latter possess a watery taste.
The third difference is the packaging. You will notice that Orange juice often packed elegantly. Mostly in easy to open cans . Its counterpart is mostly pack in aluminum pouch.
The fourth and the last. Juice is the liquid part that can be extracted from plant or animal tissue by squeezing or cooking. A label Orange Juice means 100 percent juice or pure fruit extract. Yummy ! While Orange Juice drink is 30% juice and 70 percent water. Correct me if I am wrong ! This explains the price, taste and packaging differences of the two.
Come on ! Buy your drink!

At what age should a woman begin seeing a gynecologist?
Teenage girls should set up an appointment to meet their gynecologist some time between the ages of 13 and 16. Although pelvic exams are usually not required during the first visit, this visit allows a teen to become familiar with the doctor or nurse and establish a medical and sexual history. This is a good opportunity to educate teenage girls about contraceptives and sexually transmitted disease. Once a woman is sexually active, she should begin exams.

Summary of version changes
v12 has been fully described in De Smedt et al., 2012.
For GOME and SCIAMACHY, one fitting interval is used (328.5-346 nm).
For GOME-2, two fitting intervals are used in order to improve the fit of BrO, and reduce the noise on the 2CO columns (328.5-359 nm for BrO, 328.5-346 nm for H2CO).
Latitude dependant background normalisation in the reference sector of Pacific Ocean.
Surface Albedo: OMI minimum LER at 342 nm (Kleipool et al., 2008).
Cloud product: O2 A-band, 760nm, Frescov6 (Wang et al., 2008).
A priori profiles: IMAGES v2.12 (Stavrakou et al., 2013) calculated at 09:30am.
Level 2 file format: ASCII.
v13 is a direct adaptation of v12 to OMI measurements.
Such as GOME-2, two fitting intervals are used to fit 2CO columns from OMI, in order to improve the fit of BrO, and reduce the noise on the 2CO columns.
An iterative algorithm for removal of spike residuals has been implemented (Richter et al., 2011).
The background normalisation is row-dependant for OMI, in order to perform a destriping correction. Based on this, the background correction is now also LoS-dependant for GOME-2.
GOME-2 cloud product: O2 A-band, 760nm, Frescov6 (Wang et al., 2008).
OMI cloud product: O2-O2, 477 nm (Stammes et al., 2008).
A priori profiles: IMAGES v2.12 (Stavrakou et al., 2013), calculated at 09:30am/13:30pm.
AMF errors are now separated in random/systematic components, such as the scd errors.
Quality flag have been defined, and should be used to select the satellite observations.
Level 2 file format: HDF5.
v14 is an update of v13, applied to GOME-2 and OMI.
3 fitting intervals are now used; with the aim to better take into account the O2-O2 absorption effects.
Radiance spectra averaged in the equatorial Pacific are used as DOAS reference spectra for both GOME-2 and OMI.
A new version of the IMAGES model (v2.14) is used for the 2CO a priori profile shapes.

Steve McNamara - LTDA
Mayor Sadiq Khan and TfL need to better support the taxi trade, better regulate the taxi and PHV sec
Article by LTDA General Secretary Steve McNamara from Taxi Magazine
Last week, the London Assembly's Transport Committee published findings from its investigation into taxi and private services in London. You may remember I gave evidence in front of the committee last year alongside other reps from the taxi and PHV trades, and TfL. Its report sets out how Mayor Sadiq Khan and TfL need to better support the taxi trade, better regulate the taxi and PHV sectors and raise standards. The Chair, Caroline Pidgeon AM, didn't hold back in saying that "ongoing challenges facing the industry remain largely unresolved. TfL must get a grip; regulation, or a lack of it, is still London's blind spot." It's good to see the committee agree that key issues remain unsolved and that the mayor really needs to buck his ideas up.
Ms Pidgeon also reiterated what I keep saying, that is "without the charging infrastructure, licensed taxi drivers are understandably reticent to make the switch to electric vehicles." The committee pointed out that the mayor is only halfway to reaching his target of 300 rapid charge points by 2020, and even if he reaches it, it's not enough. They've asked Sadiq to go back to the drawing board and think up new targets ASAP. He can't expect London's cabbies to invest in the electric taxi without the absolute certainty that drivers can earn a decent living and get to a charge point when they need one. Like us, the committee is frustrated that the Government refused to grant London the power to cap PHV numbers and failed to deal with the issue of plying for hire. These were both key recommendations made by the DfT's independent working group. A cap is urgently needed to cut down on congestion and pollution and must be brought into force, along with a definition of cross border hiring to stop out of town drivers flooding London and dodging restrictions. And I don't need to explain to you all how urgent it is that we get legal clarity on plying for hire. Interestingly, the committee suggested the mayor considers implementing a "third tier" of regulation for high-volume app-based operators like Uber, as has been done in New York. This would be based on the number of journeys an operator carries out, rather than the size of its fleet. The likes of Uber would be regulated differently to smaller, local operators to better reflect its impact on our transport system. On licensing standards, the committee is 100% behind the Government's plans to introduce national minimum standards but wants London to go further to halt a "race to the bottom." They want TfL to develop an "accreditation scheme" that operators can choose to sign up to prove that they meet the highest of standards. These could include good working conditions and minimum earnings for private hire drivers. However, whether Uber would sign up to such a scheme is another question. Over in Parliament, the Commons Transport Committee questioned Professor Mohammed Abdel-Haq, Chair of the DfT's Working Group, on his report and to get his views on the Government's plans for reform. The MPs asked lots of good questions on the definition of cross border hiring, national minimum standards, capping PHV numbers and plying for hire, and really seemed to understand the issues at hand. Mohammed made a strong case to the committee on his worries about the Government's delay in bringing forward new legislation, saying that for every day this continues, he worries he'll read of another shocking case of abuse in the papers such as that of Rotherham. The Government need to act quickly so that such cases can never happen again, and thankfully this really seemed to resonate with the MPs.

The park has different kinds of areas; in certain areas you can walk among the animals but in the Savann area and in the tiger woods you have to stay in your car, of course. There's a beautiful swan lake and a 'bird garden', too.
We were there just before the opening time but the queu was already very long and it took some waiting before we could drive in. The first animals we met were lovely donkeys and I just had to get our of the car and go and hug them.
The donkeys were so sweet so just like all the other children (!) I could have stayed all day talking to them but we had to go on to the next area, the Savann. It's always as amazing to get so close to exotic animals like giraffes, zebras and rhinos.
The rhinos look so friendly but there's always a car with two keepers nereby - not so much for the rhinos' but for stupid visitor's sake. Today one idiot got out of his car to get better photos and the rhinos clearly got very nervous...I think it's marvellous to see the rhinos so close but I can assure you I have the greatest respect for them!
This nandu came and knocked our side window - maybe it wanted to borrow som sugar or something...Unfortunately (as usual) we haven't our camera ready so we missed that moment! What a pity - he looked so funny.
One of these fellows (lemurs) ran over my feet when we were walking in the monkey woods. It's strictly forbidden to touch them but oh, how difficult it was to resist it! They are so funny and quick. Almost impossible to get any pictures but here are a couple of those we managed to take.
I also got very angry when I saw parents who didn't look after their children. The kids were throwing small stones to the lemurs without any reaction from the parents. Of course, someone has to interfere - luckily it wasn't me this time, an elderly lady told the parents kindly but firmly to take better care of their kids. Sometimes I think certain people would need a 'licence to visit a zoo' - if they don't love and respect animals - what an earth are they doing in the zoo or an animal park. I've visited three different kinds of animals parks during the last week and it's the same thing everywhere!
There is a beautiful park with a lot of colourful birds but today we only took a quick walk - too much people to see anything properly. The same thing with the tiger woods. The queu was so long we would have been forced to wait at least an hour to get in so we decided to visit the handsome Siberian tigers next time we visit Knuthenborg.
The way leading to the exit of the park was crowded by lamas, camels and Shetland ponies.
This little fellow wanted to say personally goodbye to everybody! Isn't he (or she?) lovely?
This is just a little presentation of Knuthenberg - there's so much to see but since we live so near and are going to visit it again there was no need to try to 'do' everything. See you later, little ponny!


: partnership, league —usually used in plural they're in cahootsHe was robbed by a man who was in cahoots with the bartender.
Cahoot is used almost exclusively in the phrase "in cahoots," which means "in an alliance or partnership." In most contexts, it describes the conspiring activity of people up to no good. (There's also the rare idiom go cahoots, meaning "to enter into a partnership," as in "they went cahoots on a new restaurant.") "Cahoot" may derive from French cahute, meaning "cabin" or "hut," suggesting the notion of two or more people hidden away working together in secret. "Cahute" is believed to have been formed through the combination of two other words for cabins and huts, "cabane" and "hutte."
These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'cahoot.' Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback.

2013 Astros MLB Draft
2013 MLB Draft Profile-Corey Knebel, RHP, Texas
By leistomania409 Updated May 26, 2013, 9:40am CDT
Share All sharing options for: 2013 MLB Draft Profile-Corey Knebel, RHP, Texas
Corey Knebel is the latest in the long line of University of Texas relievers who have made it to the professional level. The right-hander already possesses a level of experience and repertoire that could get him through the minor leagues rather quickly. He stands at 6'4'' 210 lbs
Knebel went undrafted out of Georgetown (TX) high school, but quickly made a name for himself in 2011, his freshman year. In 55 innings he had a 1.13 ERA, while striking out 61 and limiting hitters to a .151 batting average. Knebel was named to the Baseball America All-Freshman team, All-Big 12 first team, and was the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Pitcher of the Year.
2012 was an equally productive year for Knebel, who took a higher workload (73 innings) and turned in similar numbers. He posted a 2.08 ERA with 68 strikeouts and posted another sub-Mendoza batting average against of .189. He's followed that up with yet another solid 2013 where he's posted a 2.68 ERA in 37 innings with 46 strikeouts, good for second on the team and 14 walks. He's saved 8 games, and is only 5 behind Huston Street for the UT record.
Knebel certainly has shown results as a closer in a competitive conference, but it's more important that he has the stuff to make those eye-popping numbers happen. Unlike Street, who didn't have blow-away stuff usually seen in a closer, Knebel can cause a lot of swing and misses from hitters. He features a mid 90s fastball, where he tops out around 96 or 97. It's probably considered a plus pitch at this point, and he possesses a slider that sits low 80s that could also be considered as plus. A tweet from Perfect Game's Kendall Rogers:
Rogers' tweet sums up Knebel's upside nicely. He possesses two plus pitches, and though he's been a little inconsistent at times this year, he's also shown why he's regarded as one of the top closers in the nation. After doing some research, Knebel apparently scrapped his slider during his freshman season and turned to a big curve for his main secondary pitch. However, Rogers' tweet says slider, so he must've brought it back.
Knebel doesn't have a ton of glaring weaknesses. His walk rates are reasonable, and he has great stuff. His inconsistency to simply make good pitches has come up some, but all pitchers go through that. His floor is probably a journeyman minor league reliever who doesn't make it past AA or AAA, due to ineffectiveness or some unforeseen injuries.
One red flag: Knebel was suspended from the Texas team during their road series in Kansas and sent home a few weeks ago. Texas sports in general are pretty tight-lipped about specifics on player incidents, so there's no indication as to what he did. He has been reinstated since then.
Lights-out closer. See what I did there? I see a lot of Brad Lidge in Knebel's upside. A great fastball along with a killer slider was the M.O. of one of the nastiest Astros relievers of all-time. Knebel has the stuff to get to that level, and he could reach it rather quickly due to his experience against advanced hitters.
Will The Astros Draft Him?
Here's where it gets tricky. Knebel's role is pretty much defined right now-he'll likely start as a middle relief pitcher and could get the chance to close. A team like the Astros probably is not focused on drafting a reliever in the first handful of rounds, which is where Knebel will most likely be taken. I would rather see Houston going with high upside arms who can start early, and focus on relievers later on. If Knebel makes it past, say, round eight, he could make some sense as a guy to take a chance on, especially considering the Astros' short term bullpen woes. But I don't see that happening, and instead a contending team with a lot of depth can take him between rounds 3-6 and hope he reaches the majors quickly and can contribute, a la Addison Reed and the White Sox.
RHP Corey Knebel (via Donald Boyles)
Note: Does his delivery remind you of anyone? Knebel's UT profile says his favorite player growing up was Roy Oswalt. Doesn't look like a coincidence that his delivery is similar.
Corey Knebel (Texas) (via CollegeBaseballBlog)
Note: I had some trouble finding recent scouting reports on Knebel, so these first two are from his freshman year.
From Baseball America's Aaron Fitt (3/7/2011):
"Freshman righthander Corey Knebel has demonstrated similar poise in tight spots, making him an out-of-nowhere force in late-game situations...Knebel has a big arm—Garrido said he touched 96 mph in Hawaii, and he was 90-93 Sunday. But in the ninth he struck out the top two hitters in Stanford's lineup by getting each to chase a curveball in the dirt. That's particularly noteworthy since Knebel just learned the curveball on Thursday, and threw it once on Friday. He said he'll scrap his slider and stick with the curve going forward."
.From Baseball America's Aaron Fitt (4/18/2011):
"He's got a live arm — I saw him up to 93 out in Austin earlier this season, and I've heard he's been higher — and he pounds the zone with his fastball. His secondary stuff is a work in progress, but he's one of those guys who can dominate with the fastball, and he's fearless — like Huston Street was. It's hard to compare any pitcher to Street, the best college closer of the last decade, but Texas does seem to have a good one on its hands."
"The tall right-hander gets it done with a good two-pitch power combination, a fastball that hits the mid-90s and a downer curve with bite that's a true out pitch." -Jonathan Mayo
