The music styles in this book are: Rock n''roll, country music, blues, and gospel. The pages are richly documented. You''ll discover the famous as well as the unknown artists who contributed to the sounds we all know and love today. We meet Freddie Burns, a former 1940s singer who was present at the beginning of country music and was there at the beginning of the career of Jimmie Rodgers. He rubbed shoulders with stars like Hank Williams, Bill Monroe and of course Elvis Presley. The well-known author/astrologer Paul F. Newman tells us the incredible story of Bill Haley''s song ''Thirteen Women'' on the A side, which was supposed to be the resounding hit...on the ''flip'' side, yes, Rock Around The Clock! Blues and Gospel singers Kid Thomas and Mahalia Jackson remind us of the influence of black American music. There are great articles on country music with George Jones and Eddie Noack, and many others. We cover the preview of the national release of the Elvis stamp and other surprises. The name given to this book is a tribute to Freddie Burns, who at the age of 101 (now deceased) had no hesitation in answering my questions. Our interview was carried out via phone calls and later tapes. I thank Judith Page, Paul F. Newman, Eric Galland, Dave Stewart, Anne Marie Rycyne Didiot, Jacque Hulquist, Clementine Moriaty, and Michael McClellan for his technical advice. This is a great read... and more issues to follow.

It is 1935 and a young art restorer, Grace Tyler, is taking up a position at the ancient family home of Lord Alvey at Dommec Hall in Suffolk. A wall fresco, covered up for generations because of sinister rumours of deceit and impurity in the family line, has partly been rediscovered and she is responsible for its authentication and restoration. But Grace finds it is not just in the fresco that secrecy and immorality is rife. The house, its occupants, their relationships, and the nearby Dunwich Abbey are full of underground revelations, some gratifying some frightening, until despite an unexpected romance, Grace finds she is in mortal danger.

THE TREGERTHEN HORROR: Aleister Crowley, D. H. Lawrence & Peter Warlock Involving murder, mayhem, espionage, sexual scandal and the Beast 666, this bizarre and tragic investigation into the death of Ka Cox at a lonely, haunted cottage in Zennor is one of the strangest stories to have ever come out of Cornwall and took many years of scrupulous research on the part of the author. Involving a large and larger-than-life cast of characters, including the ''handsomest young man in England'', Rupert Brooke, the climber George Mallory, the mad, babbling psychotherapist, Meredith Starr, and the rip-roaring composer, Peter Warlock, the narrative unwinds a tangled tale that enlists the embattled remnants of the Bloomsbury Group, the decadent acolytes of Fitzrovia, a young woman''s involvement with a notorious magician, occult orgies in the grounds of a great house climaxing in a flourish of grand guignol when Bob Fabian, ace sleuth of Scotland Yard, joins the ensemble as he seeks to find the perpetrator of the horrific ''witchcraft murder'' of Lower Quinton.

He''s been a property millionaire, he can sing in ten languages and he ran a GBP 24 million cannabis-smuggling operation. This is the true story of a man who was a millionaire by the time he was twenty, lost it all, and started over again by smuggling drugs. Paul flourished through the grim times in prison and went straight, starting a new career as a singer and designer. For the first time, he tells his true, extraordinary story in this memorable memoir.

Knights Templar, spirit guides, tumultuous storms, suspicion, manipulation, the Mandylion, Frankenstein, DNA, and something that never died. A veiled woman leads university graduate Herv� Caradec into the greatest adventure of his life - a secret Cloth, a Holy Shroud, moved and hidden over the centuries. But why him? Why her? As they follow the medieval Templar trail across Europe: France, England, Switzerland... others are close behind and the sinister purpose underlying the current quest is revealed. Finally as lovers they reach the Holy Land where love and death meet in climax.

This paper examines the effects of mandated disclosure on the design of contracts and induced behavior in the presence of career concerns. We analyze the impact of two key properties of a mandated performance measure that is publicly disclosed: its sensitivity to the agent''s effort and its informativeness about the agent''s ability. We find that when the mandated measure is highly sensitive to the agent''s effort but the measure is relatively uninformative about the agent''s ability, the agent''s effort (and the firm''s output) will be higher and the pay-for-performance sensitivity will be lower relative to a scenario in which the measure is not mandated. In contrast, if the mandated measure''s informativeness dominates the measure''s sensitivity to effort, then effort is lower and the pay-for-performance sensitivity is higher in the mandated setting. We also characterize settings where a mandated disclosure would be desirable or not; variations arise because mandated disclosures can increase both effort and risk. Our results imply that mandating the public disclosure of performance measures, particularly measures that are relatively informative about ability but are difficult to influence through managerial effort, may have the unintended consequence of generating inefficiencies in firms'' employment contracts.

An autobiographical reflection by the editor of Abraxas. C. Wilson, of course, features from page 30 onwards. Also contains a brief history of Abraxas to Issue 11.

Effects of three mulches of tree foliage and twigs (red alder, Douglas-fir, and salal) and homogenized, partially decomposed material (forest floor) on soil macronutrients (Ca, K, Mg, P, NO3, and NH4) were evaluated in the summer of 1997. These effects were measured with buried, coated ion-exchange resin bags at two different times (2 and 12 weeks) and at two different depths (2 and 15 cm) in homogenized soil cores. Over the time of this study various mulches had no significantly different impact on nutrient ions sorbed on the buried resins. The results indicated that in the early stages of decomposition, chemical differences in the plant material evaluated do not differentially influence soluble nutrients sorbed on buried resins. However, some of this lack of difference may have been due to the preparation of the mulches. The preparation included chopping and shredding, which may have eliminated differences that exist in a more natural setting. The effect of forest floor material was significant on three of six response variables. The interaction of forest floor and mulch was significant for all variables except K. Whether the interaction decreased or increased the mean amount of a given response variable was dependent on the type of mulch material. The exception was NO3, which in all cases increased in the presence of forest floor in combination with mulch. The results indicate that microbial populations that reside in the forest floor interact differently with the types of plant mulches placed over them. The effect of time was significant for all response variables with K, Ca, and Mg responding in a proportional manner. Nitrate and ammonium concentrations increased exponentially over time, which indicated a rather vigorous biological population involved in decomposition of nitrogen-containing organic compounds. The effect of depth was significant for all variables except for P. More nutrients accumulated at the 15 cm depth than at the 2 cm depth, which was not expected. This possibly indicates high immobilization due to microbes at the surface. The results of P may have been due to the type of resin used and the pH of the soil cores. The results suggest that forest floor material has more influence with above ground additions of soil macro-nutrients than fresh plant material. However, the detected interactions of these two types of materials suggest that ion cycling can be influenced very early in the litter decomposition process. A second study tested the effect of saturated soil coated resin bags versus non-coated bags. The results strongly suggest that the effect of coating resin bags with a thin slurry of saturated soil paste significantly decreases variation in tests of Ca, Mg, NO3, and NH4. The minimal amount of work with this procedure suggests that it is advantageous for evaluating most macro-nutrients with resin bags, particularly NO3 and NH4.
