�Legislation and public pressure have lED federal agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Department of Agriculture to involve the public in a broad range of environmental decisions, from how to unclouded up Superfund sites to how to manage federal forest earth. Does this involvement tend to meliorate or -- as some critics have argued -- impair the quality of agencies' decisions?
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DECISIONMAKING, new from the National Research Council, examines this question and outlines stairs agencies can take to increase the likelihood that participation will have positive effects. The report will be released at 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 22.

The group of Colorado experimentalists known as Thinking Plague research jazz, rock, and folk music with progressively symphonic contexts, around the aegis of guitarist and composer Mike Johnson. The lot was initially formed in the early '80s by Johnson and bassist/drummer Bob Drake; afterward cathartic an album coroneted A Thinking Plague on their own Endemic Records, the duo added singer Suzanne Lewis and released Moonsongs in 1987 for the British label Dead Man's Curve. Critical extolment for their avant-fusion was glow, only Thinking Plague continually added members -- reed player Mark Harris, keyboardist Shane Hotle -- and recorded Another Life for ReR in 1989. Though Lewis and Drake later left the area for other projects, drummer Dave Kerman (of 5uu's), vocaliser Deborah Perry, and Dave Willey (Hamster Theatre) united for 1998's In Extremis.

One of the great unsung heroes of jazz singing, Andy Bey is a commanding interpreter of lyrics wHO has a broad vocal image and a large, rich, full voice. Bey enjoys a belittled following that swears by him; still, he isn't near as well known as he should be. Born and raised in Newark, NJ, non far from New York, Bey was open to wind as a baby and started vocalizing in front of local audiences as early as ashcan School. At some gigs, an eight-year-old Bey was accompanied by tenor adolphe Sax great Hank Mobley. Bey was 13 when, in 1952, he recorded his first base solo record album, Mama's Little Boy's Got the Blues; and he was 17 when he formed Andy & the Bey Sisters with his siblings Salome and Geraldine in 1956. The grouping did a 16-month tour of Europe and recorded trey albums (unitary for RCA Victor in 1961, 2 for Prestige in 1964 and 1965) before breakage up in 1967. In the 1960s and seventies, Bey's vocals were featured by Max Roach, Duke Pearson, and Gary Bartz (for whom he delivered very socio-political lyrics, including some searing condemnations of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War). The 1970s as well launch Bey recording Have and Judgment for Atlantic and start a long association with piano player Horace Silver, wHO featured him conspicuously on many of the religious-themed albums he put out have his own Silveto label in the seventies and 1980s. The LPs contained what Silver termed "metaphysical self-help music" and preached a sort of religious self-help doctrine that wasn't unlike Reverend Ike's message -- regrettably for Silver and Bey, this approaching meant limited distribution and minuscule commercial appeal. Bey continued to run with Silver into the 1990s, when he was featured on Silver's 1993 Columbia appointment It's Got to Be Funky (which pronounced a return to concentrated bop's mainstream and did much better commercially than his "self-help medicine"). Labels Bey recorded for as a drawing card in the 1980s and 1990s included Jazzette, Zagreb, and Evidence, which, in 1996, released the superb Ballads, Blues and Bey. The success of Blues, Ballads and Bey entrap a place for the piano player to stretch out a minuscule and explore his more intimate side. Bey followed with Shades of Bey in 1998 and Tuesdays in Chinatown in 2001, choosing to explore outside the earth of jazz with covers of Nick Drake and Milton Nascimento and others. American Song followed in early 2004.

Through a state funded cooking class, the inmates baked a cake to commemorate "Operation Secure Paris." Notice the Eiffel Tower symbolizing the heiress ... those lawbreakers are so clever!

Babyshambles - Dohertys Late Gig Arrival After Cat Death
Troubled BABYSHAMBLES rocker PETE DOHERTY fought back tears at a London gig on Tuesday (27May08), after burying his beloved pet cat just hours before he was due to go on stage.
The star apologised for arriving late to the show at the capital's Brixton Mass venue, telling fans he had been forced to lay the animal to rest at the roadside before heading to the performance.
Before his arrival at the gig, the eager rock crowd were told the star was "en route" due to his kittens acting "crazy".
And, once he arrived, the star told fans told fans the tragic reason for his tardiness: "Sorry I'm late. But considering I've had to bury one of my cats at the roadside I've done pretty well to be here."
Doherty was spotted taking his beloved pet cat to a vet near his home in Wiltshire, England last week (begs19May08).
