Kappa Beta Gamma is a national non-Panhellenic Sorority, which was founded at Marquette University, WI. Currently, there are seven activate chapters, and the sorority is recruiting both inactive and new chapters to expand the sorority's ideals and provide more leadership opportunities for women.
In 1916, twelve women of Marquette University began a great undertaking--the foundation of the first sorority on Marquette campus. These twelve worked enthusiastically toward their goal and on January 22, 1917, Kappa Beta Gamma was founded at Marquette University. Their purpose was to unite the members in the bond of sisterhood; to develop friendships among the members during their college days, to improve the members morally, socially, and intellectually, and to perpetuate the support of college university, alma mater and of God and country. The first officers of this group were: Tess Germaine (President); Myra Thewalt (Vice-President); Jeanie Lee (Secretary); and Mary Weimar (Treasurer). Mary Weimar was also the designer of the Kappa pin.
Kappa Beta Gamma grew socially, morally, and intellectually throughout the years. As a local group on the Marquette campus, the members of Kappa Beta Gamma were first in intellectual pursuits and social activities. However, many of the members expressed interest in expanding onto other university campuses. On May 14, 1947, Founders Day, the dream of many years became a reality when Alpha Chapter was installed at Saint Louis University, St. Louis, Missouri, and Kappa Beta Gamma became a National Sorority. The Chapter at Marquette University became known as Beta Chapter. National Headquarters were set up at Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and the first National Officers were chosen from the Beta Chapter. These officers, elected to a two year term, were: Georgia Klein (President); Ann Calla (Vice-President); Gertrude Cobbeen (Secretary); and Gloria Oberst (Treasurer).
Today, there are seven active chapters located primarily in the midwest.

- Comment. The article doesn't actually appear to be unsourced; but when the only given source is the organization's own website, it does look uncomfortably like advertising. We need neutral sources to establish the organization's notability. Kickaha Ota 17:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Born in Burnley, a small northern town in England, David hails from a
family steeped in the history of coal mining. As most northern lads of his age, his future in a way had been earmarked. However, with his family having a musical
background, his mother also singing and his Grandmother playing piano, there was always a chance that David could adopt some of their talent.
Having left school at the tender age of fifteen, a succession of jobs followed. However, young Master Readman had already been bitten by the musical bug and formed various bands like Alander, Sixmyth, Splatterpunk and cut his "live" teeth playing the local club circuit.
At age 19, unfulfilled promise led him to Nelson and Colne Music College in 1989 where he learned the basics of what was required to become a professional singer. Two years later, it was was time for the hungry Readman to find a real band.
However, it wasn't until during a camping trip where he sung some Led Zep songs a friend said "Man, what you doing, you should be making records". That was it,
David now had the belief and the fire in his belly required to succeed in the music business, and spent the next few months sending a barrage of demos tapes in response to adverts for singers in the cult UK magazine Melody Maker. It wasn't long before he received calls from throughout the UK. These would eventually lead to auditions and jobs with Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden), then solo, Thomas McRocklin (Vai-like virtuoso) and a move to London with Misha Calvin, who would later release the demos without David's consent.
The 17th June 1994 is the day that David's life, as he knew it, would change forever! He flew to Germany for an audition with European Hard Rockers Pink Cream 69, who's vocalist Andi Deris had left to join Helloween. David was successful in his audition and felt that at last he had discovered the band that he had so long craved. Pink Cream 69 were also a band that his talent undoubtedly deserved!
Things moved so fast for David with the signing of a record contract with Sony Music in November '94 and a trip to America only a couple of days later to record his first PC69 record "Change" with in California. The quartet returned to Germany at the tale end of January '95 and immediately set out on the road for David's first headline tour. Thunderhead accompanied on what was was a crazy time and a long way from Burnley!
A procession of records quickly followed - "Food for Thought", the "Live" CD and then the highly acclaimed "Electrified", a return to the bands hard rocking roots. This record began to open doors again for Pink Cream 69, that many declared they had shut with the change in direction on their appropriately named "Change" album!
Success in various quarters arrived with the single "Shame" and a European Tour with Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson followed, where David would again be reaquainted with Adrian Smith.
June 1999 saw the band flying 14 hours to Japan where they experienced an unforgettable four days playing Tokyo and Kawasaki.
David barely had time to pinch himself when in 2000 the band released their next record "Sonic Dynamite", again to critical acclaim, and were off to Sao Paulo in Brazil for the first time. This would become a great year for touring with a co-headline tour with Axiss also under their belts.
David then met Stephan Forte at a concert in France, and a partnership commenced in the studio. Pink Cream 69's EP "Mixery" was recorded in-between, which meant working with Adagio through the day, and then recording "One Step into Paradise" at night sessions at House of Audio Studios Karlsdorf. The end of June 2001 saw the release of their first collaboration, under the name of Adagio, the "Sanctus Ignus" CD.
"Endangered" would become David's fifth studio album with Pink Cream 69 in 2001 and carried on where "Electrified" and "Sonic Dynamite" left off. David was now firmly turning heads on a regular basis with emotional and soulfull performances and was now highly regarded as one of Europe's finest rock singers!
Work continued to emerge with various projects, mainly associated with David's Bass playing colleague and Producer Dennis Ward. In November 2002 Missa Mercuria, a Rock Opera, was released in Germany. David played the part of the narrator and sung on three tracks on the record.
Adagio's second album "Underworld" was released in November 2003 whilst Pink Cream took a long break, mainly due to health issues with their guitarist Alfred Koffler.
Koffler thankfully recovered and in 2004 "Das Pinkies" returned with arguably their finest release to date in "Thunderdome". The citics went wild and the album featured in many an "Album of the Year" category throughout Europe. David put in some of his best performances ever captured on record, none more so than the self penned hanuting ballad "That Was Yesterday".
In the beginning of 2004 David participated in his first tour with Adagio, covering the whole of France and Belgium and two weeks later, at the beginning of March 2004, would immediately set out on the road with Pink Cream 69 in support of the "Thunderdome" album. The tour kicked off in Obermarchtal, Germany on 5th March 2004 and proved to be a gruelling schedule for David and his voice. Both came through unscathed!
David and Adagio soon announced their decision to part amicably and is now planning the release of his first solo record. The songs have all been written and plans are well underway to making that dream a reality! Having heard some of the demos it's safe to say that fans of Pink Cream 69 and David Readman will not be disappointed when this material sees the light of day!
With gigs in Italy, Germany, USA and a first appearance in England for David with PC69 and The Gods, 2005 looks like being every bit as good as 2004 for the multi talented David Readman and the very underrated Pink Cream 69.
For all those of who have yet to discover the wonderful talents of this amazing singer and his delightful band - "Shame on You" !!!!
Now get yourself over the Sounds section!

Nuša Derenda's full name is Anuška Žnideršič. She was born on March 30, 1969 in Brežice, Slovenia.
Pretty soon, at the age of two and a half, Nuša Derenda made her parents aware of her singing talent. She always loved to sing and perform in front of an audience.
Music was an integral part of her entire childhood. She sang in choruses, performed as a soloist, attended music school and learned to play the accordion. Shortly before finishing the 9-year elementary school, Nuša Derenda joined a band of young musicians. Those were her first steps into the world of entertainment and show business.
Although she wanted to become a pre-school teacher and worked part time in a nursery school for one year, she continued to sing with the band and travelled throughout Europe. In 1990, the band she was with broke up and Nuša Derenda and Frenk established a new one. By that time they had already become quite professional and toured Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland and were invited to the States for three times. It lasted seven years, seven years of wonderful experiences and hard work at the same time, as they had up to 150 concerts a year. Since 1998, Nuša Derenda have been mostly working with a group called Happy Hour. They often accompany her at concerts.
In 1995, Frenk and Nuša Derenda got married and started thinking about setting up a home in Slovenia, and she was dreaming about making an album for some time. In 1999 her dream came true with a CD Vzemi me veter (Take Me, Wind). The song bearing the same title as the CD was written by her friend Majda Arh. That song brought Nuša Derenda the first place in the Slovene TV contest Orion (November 1998). At the Slovene Pop Contest 1999 (Slovenska popevka) Nuša Derenda received the best singer award, and at the MMS festival (Melodies of the Sea and the Sun) the second prize of the audience with the song Boginja (The Goddess; authors Urša and Matjaž Vlašič, Boštjan Grabnar). The same team of authors helped her win the Orion 2000 contest with a song Čez dvajset let (In Twenty Years). The group of authors, mentioned above, accompanied her also to the festival MMS 2000 (Melodies of the Sea and Sun). Nuša Derenda sang a song Ne kliči me (Don't Call Me) and won the audience's prize for the second time.
In November 2000 took place the first HIT Festival, and Nuša Derenda won with a song Ni mi žal (I'm Not Sorry). In December the same year she issued CD with the same title.
Winning EMA 2001 meant for Nuša even bigger media attention and popularity, which can be, as she discovered, flattering but also very tiring. The song Ne, ni res (Energy) was a really good song and in May 2001, when the Eurosong took place in Copenhagen. The seventh place was excellent, although at the beginning of the festival it seemed to be even better.
In 2001 thanks to her Eurovision performance, she visited The International Pop Festival GOLDEN STAG in Brašow, Romunia. There she won a special prize from a Ministry of culture for the best interpretation. Nuša Derenda also visited Germany at Eurosong Fan Club Party in Koln where she had a solo concert. At the end of October 2001 she was invited to Croatia to Zadarfest. There she won second place by the opinion of the professional jury and the prize for the best lyrics.
The year 2001 brought her also Victor of Popularity in the music category, which is presented every year by the magazine Stop, the winner is chosen by its readers. Also that year she received Zlati petelin (Golden Rooster) for the song Ni mi žal (I'm Not Sorry).
Nuša Derenda became one of the candidates for the The Slovene Woman of the Year 2001. Year 2002 was marked with the victory at Slovenska popevka (Slovene Pop Contest) with a song Pesek v oči (Deception). At the beginning of December 2002 she issued her third CD with a title Na štiri oči (In Private).
In year 2003 Nuša Derenda again attended the HIT Festival - the third in a row - and won with the song V ogenj zdaj obleci me (Dress Me With Fire). Song won the prize from professional jury for the best music and lyrics.
From April 2004 her new CD is being sold - Največji uspehi 1998/2003 (Greatest Hits 1998/2003) - with 20 songs which have marked her successful five-year musical career. On CD you will find all the most popular songs from the beginning of her career until the actual last hits.
On September 5th shee hosted Slovenska popevka 2004 (Slovene Song 2004) at Krianke in Ljubljana and successfully passed a challenge of TV host.
Between September 6th and 12th 2004, she participated in "3rd Mediterranean Festival Megahit 2004" in a tourist centre Fethiye, in south Turkey. The Mediterranean Song Contest is an international music festival, founded by END PRODUCTION company, under the honourable patronage of FIDOF organisation led by Mr. Serhat Hacipasalioglu.

In grand finals on September 11th 2004, the jury consisted of 15 members, gave in an exciting voting the majority of points to Italy (Linda - E Vai), second place took Malta Ludwig & Julie - Mood Swing).
With 91 points Nuša Derenda won a perfect third place with a song "Devil".
- Nuša Derenda and her son Matevž celebrate birthday on the same day, March 30. So does Celine Dion.
- In 1998 she entered a song for the EMA contest for the first time. It was accepted, but she had to cancel my performance because she was expecting a child.
- When touring Germany Nuša Derenda often performed with yodlers. She likes yodelling and learned to yodel during concert breaks. Nuša Derenda still yodels at concerts from time to time and it's great fun.
- When people meet her in person for the first time they're often very surprised... We guess she looks much taller on TV - but she's only 154 cm tall and she wears shoes size 34. Perhaps we should reveal also her husband's height - 192 cm...

Mt Pisgah is a hill in Lane County, Oregon, rising 1060 feet above the surrounding countryside to a maximum elevation of 1531 feet. It is situated between the Coast Fork and Middle Fork of the Willamette River, just two miles SE of their confluence. Springfield is immediately north of the Mt. Pisgah, and the city of Eugene is a few miles east. It hosts the Howard Buford Recreation Area managed by Lane County, and the non-profit Mount Pisgah Arboretum sits at its base.
Recreation
The summit is accessible by a steep 1.4 mile trail from a parking area near the base of the hill. Several other trails wind through the adjacent arboretum and up the slopes. The summit offers a panoramic view of the Southern Willamette Valley and includes a bronze relief sculpture of the surrounding topography identifying many nearby geographic features.
The Mount Pisgah Arboretum covers 209 acres at the base of Mt. Pisgah and offers visitors 7 miles of trails through natural riverside habitat featuring hundreds of plant species. Admission is free.
Parking
Lane County manages a gravel parking area at the base of Mt. Pisgah adjacent the arboretum. The Parks Departments charges $2.00 for all day parking served from a self pay station. In 2006 fines for parking violations are $94, down from $141 in past years.
Geology
The hill consists of basalt, or more likely its intrusive equivalentdiabase, and resembles many other hills throughout the Southern Willamette Valley of similar composition. Small crystals of calcite and various zeolite minerals are often found where rock outcrops, especially near the summit.
Controversy
Wildish Land Company owns 1400 acres of land adjacent to the park and has filed an Oregon Measure 37 claim seeking $15 million dollars in compensation or be allowed to develop a large subdivision. Opponents of the subdivision assert that it would dramatically change the character of the park and favor local government purchasing the land rather than allowing it to be developed.

Ongoing multivolume narrative history of the United States published by Oxford University Press. Initially begun in the 1970s under the editorship of C. Vann Woodward, the first volume, Robert Middlekauf's The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789, was published in 1982 (a revised edition was published in 2005). The second volume, Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era was published in 1988; its author, James M. McPherson, subsequently won the Pulitzer Prize in History for the book. Two more volumes followed under Woodward's editorship. The first, Grand Expectations: The United States, 1945-1974 by James T. Patterson, was published in 1997 and was awarded the Bancroft Prize in American History. Subsequently, David Kennedy's Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945 won the Pulitzer Prize after its publication in 1999.
After Woodward's death, David Kennedy took over the editorship of the series. Since the start of his tenure, in addition to the revised edition of Middlekauf's book, one new volume has appeared: Restless Giant: The United States from Watergate to Bush vs. Gore by James T. Patterson, which was published in 2005. In addition, the following volumes are currently in progress:
Gordon S. Wood, The U.S. from 1789 to 1815
Daniel Howe, What Hath God Wrought: The United States, 1815-1848
H. W. Brands, The U.S. during the Gilded Age

Summer Shakespeare at the University of Notre Dame is an annual festival that seeks to combine professional productions of the works of William Shakespeare with community outreach and educational programs. Summer Shakespeare is a part of the University of Notre Dame's Shakespeare initiative entitled "Shakespeare at Notre Dame", a program that recognizes the centrality of the study of Shakespeare in humanistic pedagogy at the University. Its seventh season consists of the mainstage production of The Comedy of Errors, the Young Company performance of The Brothers Menaechmus, and the annual ShakeScenes shows featuring actors of all ages from South Bend and the surrounding community.
Summer Shakespeare, the professional theatre in residence at the University of Notre Dame, is a direct outgrowth of an experimental course called "Shakespeare in Performance" that was created in 1989 by Dr. Paul Rathburn, Summer Shakespeare's founder. The premise of this course was that Shakespeare's works are both theatrical scripts and literary texts and are illuminated best through work in both the theater and in the classroom. It began in the summer of 2000 with the program's innagural production, The Taming of the Shrew, but has since evolved to include guest artists and productions, the ShakeScenes community program, and a Young Company production produced and staffed entirely by Notre Dame and Saint Mary's College students.
Following the 2005 production of Henry V, Dr. Paul Rathburn retired from his role as Producing Artistic Director. The company has since been helmed by Jay Paul Skelton, Associate Professor of Shakespeare at Notre Dame.
Mainstage Production[edit]Arguably the centerpiece of Summer Shakespeare's annual festival, the mainstage production consists of a professionally mounted performance of one of the plays of William Shakespeare. The production is always directed and designed by theatrical professionals, typically from either the Chicago theatre world or the University's own faculty and staff. A number of professional actors are also employed, as well as Notre Dame and Saint Mary's students and South Bend community members. The integration of professional actors and designers with students creates a unique opportunity for those students who wish to pursue theatre as a profession following their graduation.
Past Mainstage Productions[edit]The Taming of the Shrew, 2000
Much Ado About Nothing, 2001
The Tempest, 2002
A Midsummer Night's Dream, 2003
Romeo and Juliet, 2004
Henry V, 2005
The Comedy of Errors, 2006
Beginning with 2003's production, the student actors and technicians in the mainstage production were given the chance to perform in a production produced entirely by them (though directed by a senior company member). The roles in the Young Company performance are necessarily larger both on and offstage - the mainstage's Assistant to the Technical Director may become the Young Company Technical Director, while a student playing First Soldier may have a chance to play Richard of Gloucester. Although in the past Young Company performances have taken place on the same set used for the mainstage performance, 2006 saw the introduction of "green shows", performances in which Young Company members travelled to local parks in South Bend and the surrounding community.
Past Young Company Productions[edit]Shakespeare on Love, adapted by R. John Roberts, 2003
Shakespeare on Comedy: A Vaudeville, adapted by R. John Roberts, 2004
Falstaff's Dream, adapted by Susan Hart, 2005
The Brothers Menaechmus, by Plautus, translated and adapted by Richard Prior, 2006
ShakeScenes is Summer Shakespeare's community outreach program, employing local theatre troupes and schools to perform selected scenes from Shakespeare's works. ShakeScenes has been headed since its inception by Deborah Girasek-Chudzynski of South Bend's Stanley Clark School. Participants range in age from 7 to 70, and scene directors are usually educators from local grade schools, high schools, colleges and directors of area civic theatres. These individuals cast and direct their respective scenes as well as facilitate costumes, props and choregoraphy. All members of the ShakeScenes company attend acting workshops taught by local and national theatre artists.

Kris Nebroso, aka Chris Osborne, was born on the 28th March 1982. He started his "DJ-ing life" back in 1997 at the Airwaves 105FM Radio Station based in Redruth.
Whilst there, he met a host of other up-and-coming DJs / MCs now on the circuit, including Devinyl, Wideye, and MC Express who he keenly observed for their natural flair and faultless talent on the decks, and on the mic.
His love of music started way before that, and he puts his fondness for melody down to a childhood of listening constantly to various electronic music which he grew up on and was never without.
He says, "Back in the old skool days when your average fifteen year old was listening to Gabber Techno, Hardcore and The Prodigy etc, I was listening to Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Mike Oldfield! I was always searching for really emotional tracks and specific key / chord changes, which created a certain aura to the track."
Whilst at Airwaves FM, he started broadcasting in the studio live on-air and quickly became hooked on mixing CDs, but not vinyl....YET!
He comments, "Back in '98, Trance was just faultless for me. I think thats why I got into it so quickly thanks to producers like, Taucher, Tandu, Marc et Claude, Lange etc. These guys put so much energy and emotion into their tunes, its unreal!"
Whilst he was mixing the more commercial side of trance, DJ Devinyl was playing what Kris describes as "The '98 sound!"
"It was wicked, uptempo, German, emotional brilliance" he says.
"I loved it at the time but found it was also a bit too hard for me because of DJs like, M-Zone and Mark EG playing it. A bit out of my league when you consider I was buying stacks and stacks of Positiva, Hooj Choons and Multiply material etc!"
In the meantime, he spent his hard earned on a pair of Numark TT-1700 decks and an SSM 2040 mixer. His crossover to using vinyl came in the second year of Airwaves FM where he met good friend and production partner, DJ B-More aka Marc Blackmore.
"Marc and I instantly knew their was a trance chemistry going on when we used to have LONG conversations about who we regarded as quality producers, what labels we were into, and of course, what tunes we loved!"
"We started going round to one anothers house and comparing tunes and found their was a certain pattern to the majority of them.. Beautiful Melodies."
Although now a Trance / Tech Trance DJ, he still has time for certain German and Dutch producers who make the more luscious tunes.
"Back in '98/'99, Marc and I were well into both these countries top DJs and producers. From Holland we were listening to output from the likes of, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Vincent De Moor, Rank 1, Cor Fjinemann etc before they even became established over here!!
And from Germany, it was always DJ Taucher, DJ Tandu and their Ayla productions that we thought highly of. We knew that this was the direction we wanted to take, in terms of musical style, and consequently, ended up buying lots of it!"
When the Airwaves FM broadcasts came to an end, Kris was ready to do his own thing and decided to take time out to perfect his DJ-ing skills and spend more time "bashing" the keyboard!
"I had a brief lull where I just constantly mixed and made tapes around early 2000 because I was so desperate to succeed and compete with other local DJs, I knew I could do it, I just needed motivation" he comments.
He still kept in contact with other DJs who he had met through Airwaves FM, but none more so, than DJ B-More.
Due to intermittent periods of ill health, Kris was unable to pursue his goal of becoming big at the time, but at the beginning of 2002, his life physically, mentally, and musically, changed totally, according to him.
"I had an operation for my in Jan 2002 and luckily came out feeling a new person in terms of EVERYTHING!
The whole of 2002 for me was not so much of a new beginning, but more of a "getting back to how it should be feeling."
"To put it bluntly, I was as high as a kite!" he says.
"My enthusiasm for Trance was back to what it was in '98 by this point because I felt there was a definite lack of quality between then and now."
Still wanting to make a break, he waited for an opportunity to get himself known, but knew only too well it wasn't always achieved by sending in mix tapes to clubs and selling yourself to upper league promoters.
Just as he thought 2002 couldn't get any better, old friend DJ Lee Hedger gave him a slot at the Railway Inn.
"Within weeks, all the local DJ talent was flocking to the Railway, desperate to make an impact on the local people that used the pub for a Sunday wind-down."
"It was wicked though" says Kris, "because there was definitely rivalry among all of us, but it never got aggressive or out of hand.
I think the main reason for this was because, out of sheer coincidence, no two DJs had an alike style, which made it a lot easier to work the nights out."
In the meantime, the Railway nights were going down a storm and there were a couple of followers who never failed to turn-up for a Sunday evening,
"They know who they are!", he says
As the winter months were approaching, Kris recalls a distinct lack of enthusiasm among the DJs, including himself, for the nights.
"We all wanted something bigger, better and louder! which was understandable."
Around that time, DJ Lee Hedger left Cornwall, and indeed the Railway, behind, to move to London to work and live.
"He handed the responsibilities of organising and running the nights over to me."
But one week prior to Lee's departure, an unknown face appeared in the Railway on a peak-time, Sunday night.
I remember saying to Lee, "Who's that over there?" he laughs.
"Lee told me some promoter was trying to take over the Railway Sunday nights, so we should all keep an eye out for what he was planning."
This guy turned out to be, Mr John "Loud'n'Proud" Mulligan.
"This was it!" exclaims Kris.
"It seemed too good to be true what John was offering, or had planned at first, but after getting to know him, and briefly trying to suss him out, most of the DJs knew that, as a team, we were onto a good thing, and could certainly make a success of the things we had been waiting for.......

Donald Hunsberger is conductor emeritus of the Eastman Wind Ensemble, having served as its music director from 1965 to 2002. He also holds the title professor emeritus of conducting and ensembles at Eastman, where he served for many years as chair of the conducting and ensembles department.
Under his leadership, the Eastman Wind Ensemble continued its development as an international performance model in the creation of numerous new works for the wind band, providing a prime example of contemporary performance techniques as demonstrated on numerous recordings on Sony Classics, CBS Masterworks, Mercury Records, DGG Records, Philips, and Decca among others. In 1987 his scores and recording of Carnaval featuring Wynton Marsalis with the Eastman Wind Ensemble were nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Solo Performance with Orchestra category. His most recent recording project with the EWE is a three-CD set celebrating its 50th anniversary. Under Hunsberger's direction the EWE performed on six tours of Japan and Taiwan between 1990 and 2000, and one throughout Japan and Southeast Asia in 1978 for the Kambara Agency and the U.S. State Department.
In addition to performing over 100 premiere performances, Hunsberger had been involved in writing projects including the books The Wind Ensemble and Its Repertoire (Warner Bros. Pub.), The Art of Conducting (with Roy Ernst, Random House), The Emory Remington Warmup Studies (Accura Music), and numerous articles published in educational journals. He has been recognized in publications for his innovative scoring techniques for varying instrumentations of the contemporary wind band. His research into the history and development of scoring for wind bands in America has led to numerous articles in WindWorks, a journal for wind conductors, performers and composers.
He has been the recipient of a number of awards for research (Homespun America: The National Association for State and Local Historians), pedagogy (the Eastman Alumni Teaching Award and Herbert Eisenhart Award; Wiley Housewright Fellow, Florida State University), and performance (the Crystal Award from the Asahi Broadcasting Company, Osaka, Japan; the Ehud Eziel Award, Jerusalem, Israel).
He is a past president of the College Band Directors National Association and has served as a member of the boards of CBDNA, the World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensembles, and the Conductor's Guild.
In the orchestral world Hunsberger has created and conducted performances of orchestral accompaniments to over 18 silent films with 50 orchestras including the National, San Francisco, Houston, Vancouver, Utah, Virginia, San Diego, Syracuse and North Carolina Symphony Orchestras, and the Rochester, Buffalo, and Calgary Philharmonic Orchestras among others.

Buoyant density is a common measure of size of viral particles. In addition, this method can be used to physically separate different sizes and types of viruses from a mixed population. [ref 2] Finally, this can be used to separate viral particles from other types of cells and proteins that may be co-isolated from virally-infected tissues or blood [ref 3]. This method is also referred to as "density gradient centrifugation." [ref 1]
Cesium chloride (CsCl) and sucrose are the most commonly used additions (solutes) to form the density gradient. (CsCl is used this description.) Briefly, the solution containing the virus of interest is mixed in a solution of highly concentrated CsCl or sucrose. The mixture is then placed in a centrifuge tube that can withstand high centrifugal forces. The tube is then subjected to ucentrifugation for (usually) 24 hours at high speeds (usually greater than 20,000 g). (This is often called ultracentrifugation). The ultracentrifugation separates out the solute into a gradual density gradient so that the high density concentration of CsCl is at the bottom of the tube, while the lower concentration (and hence lower density) is at the top of the tube. Where the viral particles migrate in the tube (closer to the top, or closer to the bottom) is an indication of their size, and hence buoyant density.
Other methods for density centrifugation may require the researcher to physically layer different concentrations in the tube before centrifugation (forming their own gradient), and then adding the viral mixture to the top [ref 1]. These methods are more difficult, but required centrifugation times are less, and the physical separation of the virus from other sized viral particles is more efficient.

"For the last half century, Frank Frazetta has dominated the art world with his images of fierce warriors, helpless princesses, and fantastical creatures set in the most lavish landscapes. His impact upon the worlds of Fantasy Art and Film has been unparalleled.
Journey with us to a place where up until now, only the privileged have ever been, and witness the man behind the legend. See what hardships he overcame and choices he made that drastically changed the course of his career.
Share an intimate moment with this artistic virtuoso as we unfold Frazetta’s extraordinary life story."
The documentary was released on VHS back in April of 2003. The DVD was released in November of 2004. by Lance Laspina [9] www.cinemachine.net
It is literally impossible to be involved in the fantasy genre without having been touched by Frank Frazetta. His ubiquitous paintings are visceral, dramatic, and infused with emotional power. Fierce, half-naked warriors seem ready to leap from the canvas. Curvaceous sirens (who look like real women, with their paunchy bellies and full, rounded bottoms) exude raw sexuality with their piercing stares. They live in outrageously interesting settings: jungles; deserts; exotic fortresses; alien worlds a-crawl with snarling, razor-toothed beasties. You name it, Frazetta has painted it, and probably with as much effect as anyone ever will.
In 2003, Frazetta was the subject of a lovingly produced documentary called Frazetta: Painting with Fire, which is easily one of the best such films ever made. Painting with Fire features conversations with the artist himself (now an ailing septuagenarian living in Pennsylvania), vintage home-movie footage, conversations with the artist himself, and a veritable Who's Who in the Genre-Art World talking about Frazetta's talent and his impact on the genre community.
There was only one thing wrong with the 2003 release (see our original review): it was on VHS, a technology soon to go the way of the dodo. That issue has been resolved, however, as Frazetta: Painting with Fire has now been released as a stunningly packaged, two-disk DVD set!
Disk One contains the two-hour documentary, with optional audio commentary by director Lance Laspina and producer Jeremy J. DiFiore, and several behind-the-scenes clips. Disk Two is a mixed bag: there are several deleted scenes and a great image gallery with lots of gorgeous paintings and sketches; but the outtakes are only mildly amusing, and there's a "visual diary" section dedicated to Fire and Ice (a Ralph Bakshi rotoscoped monstrosity based on Frazetta's work, which is worse than his Lord of the Rings, if such a thing is possible). Admittedly, these criticisms are quibbles - Frazetta: Painting with Fire is a must-have DVD for anyone who's a fan of this talented artist's influential work. Decide for yourself if Frazetta's paintings can be considered "fine art" or "mere illustration." (taken from http://www.scifidimensions.com) [10]
