    ANNUAL REPORT 2014-2015 School of Sciences and Mathematics Annual Report 2014‐2015 Executive Summary The 2014 – 2015 academic year was a very successful one for the School of Sciences and Mathematics (SSM). Our faculty continued their stellar record of publication and securing extramural funding, and we were able to significantly advance several capital projects. In addition, the number of majors in SSM remained very high and we continued to provide research experiences for a significant number of our students. We welcomed four new faculty members to our ranks. These individuals and their colleagues published 187 papers in peer‐reviewed scientific journals, many with undergraduate co‐authors. Faculty also secured $6.4M in new extramural grant awards to go with the $24.8M of continuing awards. During the 2013‐14 AY, ground was broken for two 3,000 sq. ft. field stations at Dixie Plantation, with construction slated for completion in Fall 2014. These stations were ultimately competed in June 2015, and will begin to serve students for the Fall 2015 semester. The 2014‐2015 academic year, marked the first year of residence of Computer Science faculty, as well as some Biology and Physics faculty, in Harbor Walk. In addition, nine Biology faculty had offices and/or research space at SCRA, and some biology instruction occurred at MUSC. In general, the displacement of a large number of students to Harbor Walk went very smoothly. Temporary astronomy viewing space was secured on the roof of one of the College’s garages. The SSM dean’s office expended tremendous effort this year to secure a contract for completion of the Rita Hollings Science Center renovation, with no success to date.

Bucks influences consist of George Strait, Merle Haggard, George Jones and Keith Whiteley, just to name a few. Buck and his band pride themselves on the fact that their performances “bring back to life” the sound and feel of real old country music. Biography Buck began his story as a professional motocross racer, riding the circuit for over a decade. He received a full ride endorsement with a Honda team through the West Coast Super Cross Series in 2009. He placed his riding career on hold to pursue his love and passion for country music. Despite his dedication and talent in the professional motocross scene, his heart has always been in country music. His performances include his own written and composed music and covers songs from greats such as the likes of George Strait, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Keith Whitley, Craig Morgan, Wade Hayes, Mark Chesnutt, Tracy Lawrence, Chris Young, Billy Currington, Hank Jr., Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson, Waylon Jennings, Garth Brooks and many more.

  • The Duke Robillard Band (Usa) „Indepently Blue” – Cd-Präsentation
    29. März bis 6. April 2014 Eine Veranstaltung der HIGHLIGHT THE DUKE ROBILLARD BAND (USA) „INDEPENTLY BLUE” – CD-PRÄSENTATION So, 30. März Kulturfabrik (Stieberstraße 7, 91154 Roth) 20 Uhr, bestuhlt VVK 22,80 €/AK 24 €/ZAC 18,60 € Es führt kein Weg an diesem Gitarristen vorbei. Er spielt fast 200 Gigs im Jahr und mit fast jedermann aus der Topliga des Musikerzirkels. Auch mit Bob Dylan auf dessen „Time Out Of Mind“. Er gründete die legendären Roomful of Blues, die mit Big Joe Turner und Eddie Cleanhead Vinson auf Tour gingen. Egal ob Jazz, Rock, Funk, 50er-Jahre-Chicago-Blues oder Slowblues: Robillard ist unbestritten einer der handwerklich fähigsten Gitarristen der Gegenwart und nun zum ersten Mal in Roth zu erleben. 1948 als Michael Robillard in Rhode Island geboren, zog es den jungen Gitarristen schon früh ins Musikgeschäft. 1967 gründete er mit dem Pianisten Al Copley die erfolgreiche R&B-Combo Roomful of Blues. Nach dreizehn Jahren überließ er seinen Platz dort Ronnie Earl , um Leadgitarrist für Robert Gordon zu werden. Danach war er kurzzeitig Mitglied der Legendary Blues Band . 1981 gründete er die Duke Robillard Band, die sich bald in Duke Robillard & The Pleasure Kings umbenannte. Nachdem die Band 1984 einen Plattenvertrag bei Rounder Records bekam, veröffentlichte sie eine Reihe von Alben und trennte sich 1990 wieder. Im selben Jahr ersetzte Robillard Jimmie Vaughan bei den Fabulous Thunderbirds . Bob Dylan, Jay McShann, Jimmy Witherspoon nahmen Robillards Gitarrenkünste im Studio und auf der Bühne in Anspruch. Seit Mitte der 90er- Jahre ist Robillard vor allem als Solokünstler mit seiner eigenen Band auf Tour und hat über dreißig Platten veröffentlicht, darunter Blueswerke wie „Blues For Modern Man“ (1999) oder „Blue Mood“ (2004).

Guess what? We have just celebrated our 18th anniversary. Those who try things we recommend are rewarded. We have stayed in business for one reason and that is we have never attempted to appeal to the lowest common denominator as mainstream outlets do. At the same time we recognise that people do have different tastes and to some CMT is actually good. We also appeal to those people and offer many mainstream items in our bargain bin. But the legends and true country music are our bread butter and will always be. If you see something you think you may like but are worried let us know. If you pass our inquisition we may be able to send it on a sale or return basis. I say inquisition because if your favourite artists are SheDaisy and Rascal Flatts we certainly aren’t going to risk something as precious as Justin Trevino. By the same token we believe great music is timeless and knows no bounds. People may think chuck steak is good until they try the best rump! Recently I had the pleasure of seeing Dale Watson. Before hand I had the added pleasure of sitting in with my compatriot Eddie White (a.k.a. “The Cosmic Cowboy”) for an interview at the 2RRR Studios. Dale is a humble, engaging and extremely likeable man with a passion for tradition.
