The American ambient/neo-classical composer world Health Organization has to the highest degree closely allied himself with the more than and more harmonic independent-rock metro -- through his collaborations with the Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie -- Harold Budd is as well one of the selfsame few world Health Organization toilet identical rightly be called an ambient composer. His music, a sparse and tonal wash of keyboard treatments, was inspired by a boyhood exhausted listening to the buzz of telephone wires approximate his home in the Mojave Desert town of Victorville, California (though he was born in nearby Los Angeles). Though interested in music from an former long time, Budd was 36, already married and with children of his have, by the clock time he calibrated from the University of Southern California with a degree in Musical Composition in 1966. He became a respected name in the round of drinks of minimalist and vanguard composers based in Southern California during the late '60s, premiering his whole caboodle The Candy-Apple Revision and Unspecified D-Flat Major Chord and Lirio around the area. In 1970, he began a instruction calling at the California Institute of Arts, but continued to collect while thither, piece of writing Madrigals of the Rose Angel in 1972. After going away the Institute in 1976, Budd gained a recording sign on with the Brian Eno-affiliated EG Records, and released his debut album The Pavilion of Dreams in 1978. Two geezerhood by and by, he collaborated with Eno on one of the landmark albums of the ambient vogue, Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirrors. After recording iI albums for Cantil in 1981 (The Serpent [In Quicksilver]) and 1984 (Derelict Cities), Harold Budd over over again worked with Eno on 1984's The Pearl.

How Technological Advancements Could Pose Security Threats For U.S.

2008-08-14T18:16:00.001-07:00

�Technological advancements in specific fields of neuroscience receive implications for U.S. national security, and the intelligence operation community should monitor them closely, according to a new reputation from the National Research Council.

To do so effectively, intelligence organizations need analysts with advanced scientific preparation and resources to study neuroscience research and its technological applications, said Alice Young, a Texas Tech University professor of psychological science and a professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Neuroscience at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Young served on the commission that wrote the report released today (Aug. 13).

This will want adequate funding, intelligence analysts with advanced training in science and technology, and increased collaboration with the scientific biotic community, particularly academia.

"We were looking for at what kind of threats crataegus oxycantha arise from development of drugs for therapeutic use," Young aforementioned. "What if they were used in some unintended way? What is the future landscape of the type of threats that could come, and how could you detect these possible threats in the future as new drugs or medical technology become part of our wellness care?"

The commission attempted to uncover possible ways aesculapian technologies ranging from MRI and new drug treatments to improvements in prosthetics could be used against U.S. security, she said.

Could the virtual world created by gamers be secondhand to train enemy combatants faster? Could new drugs to avail people with attention shortage hyperactivity upset be ill-used to give an foe some sort of edge? Could the cosmetic Botox be used to surmount a piece of equipment that detects facial characteristics that masses display when they lie?

"These may be areas that the intelligence service experts would want to keep an eye on," she aforesaid. "I think it's important for national security that analysts think about what sort of issues whitethorn arise in the future as academic and commercial research continues to apace expand technology and its abilities."

The intelligence operation community has had a long-standing interest in monitoring global technology trends that could strike U.S. national security. However, in william Claude Dukenfield where applied science is forward-moving rapidly, the pace and breadth of research can overwhelm analysts. In accession, few intelligence activity analysts experience scientific skills specialized sufficiency to allow them to recognize significant advances in highly complex and emergent fields.

A 2005 National Research Council report card delved into the neuroscience field and identified respective research areas that could be of interest to the intelligence community: neurophysiological advances in detecting and measuring indicators of psychological states and intentions of individuals, the development of drugs or technologies that can alter human physical or cognitive abilities, advances in real time brain mental imagery, and breakthroughs in high-performance computing and neuronal modeling that could allow researchers to develop systems which mimic functions of the human brain, particularly the ability to organize disparate forms of data.

The field was sponsored by the Defense Intelligence Agency. The National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine and National Research Council ar private, not-for-profit institutions that provide scientific discipline, technology and health policy advice under a congressional charter. The National Research Council is the principal operating delegacy of the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering.

Rumor Busting: Diddy Not Engaged To Cassie

2008-08-06T19:37:00.001-07:00

A U.S. tabloid’s claim that P. Diddy has proposed to Cassie has been denied, with the RNB singer dismissing the rumour on her official Myspace.
Star magazine quotes ‘a source’ as saying, “He told everyone to maintain it extremely quiet because he didn’t want it to get out, but you could tell he was excited.”
The source adds, “Diddy said they hadn’t set a date yet, but he wanted his family to hear the news first.”
Cassie, who is 17 age younger than the hip-hop mogul, wrote on her Myspace, “That rumor is completely put on and I have no clue how it came to be or why it got so braggart, but it’s not true, real talk.� I am not engaged.”

Purported new Guns N' Roses tracks hit the Web

2008-06-19T19:25:00.001-07:00

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Nine purported "mastered, finished" tracks from Guns N' Roses' 14-years-in-the-making album "Chinese Democracy" have been leaked online by the Web site Antiquiet.com, prompting a quick cease-and-desist from the band's handlers and the removal of the links.

Six of the songs have already leaked in one unfinished form or another: "Better," "The Blues," the title track, "Madagascar," "IRS" and "There Was a Time." But these versions appear to be much further along on the path toward completion, and feature new touches like organ and tambourine on "IRS" and a beefed-up chorus with multi-tracked vocals on "Madagascar."

The three previously unheard songs are "Rhiad and the Bedouins," "If the World" and a track whose title is unknown.

"Rhiad," which was played live by Guns N' Roses in 2001 and 2002, is a pounding rocker with a trademark down-and-dirty main guitar riff and a flashy solo. "If the World" is a head-spinning blend of flamenco guitar, industrial synth tones, bluesy piano licks and singer Axl Rose at the top of his vocal register, while the unnamed track is an even more unusual melange of piano-led crooning, orchestral bombast and a serene instrumental outtro.

"Chinese Democracy," the follow-up to the 1991 "Use Your Illusion" albums, will likely go down as the album with the most troubled birth in rock history. Work began way back in 1994, and since then, Rose has burned through a reported $13 million in production costs as well as every original member of the group.

2008-06-13T02:26:00.001-07:00

'Doctor Zhivago' star Julie Christie has wed her long-term partner in India.
CBS News correspondent Sheila MacVicar reported that the 66-year-old secretly wed journalist Duncan Campbell in a small, private ceremony.
Christie's brother Clive Christie confirmed to the UK's Daily Mail newspaper that the wedding had taken place, but that he did not attend the event two months ago.
The actress once said: "I don't see any reason for getting married unless you're religious, which I'm not."
Commenting on the newly married couple, columnist Neal Sean said: "He's very studious, very educated and she's always been about broadening her mind, her appeal, that sort of stuff."
Christie is among the nominees for this month's Oscars for her return to cinema screens as an Alzheimer's sufferer in the film 'Away from Her'.
She has already won Screen Actors Guild, Golden Globe and National Board of Review awards in the US for her performance.
The actress previously won an Oscar for the John Schlesinger film 'Darling', before turning her back on Hollywood in the 1970s.
"Julie Christie is something of a recluse, not just from life itself but basically from the whole sort of Hollywood shebang as it were," said columnist Sean.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Inside Charlie's Dream Wedding

2008-06-06T18:43:00.001-07:00

On a beautiful spring day set against the backdrop of a sprawling Beverly Hills estate, Charlie Sheen and his lady-love Brooke Mueller said 'I do' in an intimate and romantic ceremony surrounded by family and close friends, and only OK! was there!

The wedding was a long-time coming for the actor, who spent most of his two-year relationship with Mueller entangled in a very public war of words with his ex-wife Denise Richards.

But on May 30, none of that seemed to matter as Charlie,42, and Brooke,30, exchanged vows under a low hanging canopy in front of 68 guests including Sheen's parents Janet and Martin Sheen, brothers Ramon and Emilio Estevez and three daughters Cassandra,23,(from his first marriage) Sam,4, and Lola,3.

Celebrity event designer Yifat Oren incorporated nature themes for the couple's wedding theme and reception, using bowls of pears, oranges and chocolate-hued candles to adorn the dining tables.

At one point a beaming Charlie grabbed the microphone and told guests, "I would like to introduce you to Mrs. Charlie Sheen. We did it, didn't we?" Later a 14-piece rock band played as everyone danced at the groom's request.

"I was telling a couple of friends last night that this feels like my first real marriage, Charlie confessed to OK!. "The first one was a show, the second one was a con, and this one is the real deal."

Despite his notorious bad-boy reputation, Charlie told OK! that he is devoted to Brooke, and feels a new sense of comittment in his life. He also has made a promise to himself, never to utter Richard's name in public again. It's a lesson he admits has taken a long time to learn.

"I'm so tired of talking about her and all her shenanigans," he said. "It is what it is. I don't even care anymore. I'm going to take a stand to basically never utter her name publicly again, and I think if that's known, it will put an end to some of the drama."

Sheen says he's never watched Denise's new reality show and is excited to move ahead with his life.

"I think it's no accident that whats-her-face chose this time to do what she did. It's pretty obvious that Brooke and I, through our actions and union, are moving on with our lives. Perhaps somebody else should consider the same."

And speaking of moving forward, are children in the cards for these newlyweds?
"Charlie has three girls, so ideally, we'd have a boy," Brooke says, adding, "but it doesn't matter as long as it's a healthy baby."

For the entire scoop on Charlie's dream wedding, pick up the new issue of OK! � on sale everywhere Thursday!
