His contagious energy has elevated the Middlesex Sheriff’s Offi ce to a more professional level during his fi rst year as sheriff, he explained during a recent tour of the renovated sheriff’s offi ce. Sheriff Bushey said he has led by showing respect—and getting it in return—which has improved morale. With his backing, the staff has gained confi dence and has taken on leader- ship roles. “Instead of telling me they have a problem, I want them to tell me what their solution is to that problem,” explained Sheriff Bushey who, like a good coach, directs with encourage- ment. His team approach has welcomed and encouraged the sheriff’s staff of 42 persons to share input and develop Members of the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Offi ce staff include, seated from left, deputy Norman Sibley, deputy Kimberley Taylor, communica- ideas together, said Captain M.E. tions supervisor Tammy Ellis, deputy Keith Carmell and Middlesex High School resource offi cer deputy Ranger Freeman; standing from left, Lt.

  • Die Smashing Pumpkins
    Die Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan: Billy Corgan, dessen voller Name William Patrick Corgan Jr. ist, wurde am 17. März 1967 geboren. D’arcy: Überall wo man ihren Namen liest, sieht man nur den Namen D’arcy, aus welchem Grund auch immer. Ihr ganzer Name allerdings ist D’arcy Elizabeth Wretzky, bzw. Wretzky- Brown nach dem sie heiratete. Sie wurde am 1. Mai 1968 in Michigan geboren. James Iha: James Yoshinobu Iha wurde am 26. März 1968 in Chicago, Illinois geboren. Jimmy Chamberlin: Jimmy wurde am 10. Juni 1964 in Joilet, Illinois geboren, und ist somit der Älteste der Band. Geschichte 1987, einige Zeit nachdem Billy Corgan aus Florida zurückkam, traf er James Iha. Sie fingen an, gemeinsam Musik zu machen und hatten auch einige Auftritte nur zu zweit mit einer Drum-Machine. Dies bot die Basis der Smashing Pumpkins. 1988 traf Billy D’arcy Wretzky außerhalb eines Nachtclubs. Sie redeten eine Weile, und er gab ihr darauf seine Nummer, und bot ihr an, als Bassistin für sie zu spielen. Am 10. August spielen sie ihren ersten Auftritt, allerdings noch nicht ganz vollständig, denn noch immer waren sie gezwungen, mit der Drum- Machine zu spielen. Nach einer Empfehlung eines Freundes, kontaktierte Corgan den Schlagzeuger Jimmy Chamberlin, der die Band bei ihrem ersten Auftritt sah, sie aber furchtbar fand. Trotzdem hielt er Billy Corgan aber für einen guten Schreiber mit Potential. Sie fingen nun an mit Jimmy zu spielen, und kurze Zeit später verkündete Billy in einem lokalen Radiosender, Chamberlin sei nun ein offizielles Mitglied der Pumpkins. Am 17. März 1989 spielte die Band erstmals in ihrer vollständigen Aufstellung im Caba- ret Metro, einem bekannten Club in Chicago.

  • You're Listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey
    Announcer: Bulletproof Radio, a state of high performance. Dave Asprey: You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. We're going to go deep with a guy who calls himself the Sleep Diplomat, and a professor of neuroscience and psychology at UC Berkeley, Director for the Center for Human Sleep Science, and the lead sleep scientist at Google. Guy's been on 60 Minutes, National Geographic, Nova, NPR, BBC, and author of the international best- selling book Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams, which has sold a million copies worldwide in 34 different languages. In other words, that book kicked The Bulletproof Diet's ass, which is about half as many languages and half as many copies. So welcome to the show, Matt Walker. Matt Walker: Dave, it's a pleasure to be here, and thank you so much for having me. Dave Asprey: I wanted to have you on because you said something that was sort of in your face. You said we're in the midst of a catastrophic sleep loss epidemic. What does that mean? Matt Walker: There is a global sleep loss epidemic underway. What we know is that within the space of probably less than 100 years, which is obviously a blink of an evolutionary eyelid, we've lopped off somewhere between 15 to 20% of our sleep amount. If you look at surveys back in the 1940s, the average American adult at least was sleeping 7.9 hours a night. Now that number is closer to an average of siX-and-a-half hours a night.
