SON VOLT "The Search" (Transmit Sound/Legacy, 3 stars)
Jay Farrar always does just enough to make a new project intriguing but not quite enough to make it wholly satisfying. Even when the music rocks — and it does, often, on "The Search," Farrar's second album with his new version of Son Volt — his baritone voice remains reserved and somber, and his ballads tend to follow similar melodic arcs.
Beginning with the opening salvo of the deliciously eerie "Slow Hearse," the Son Volt meets Stax/Volt war-as-profit statement "The Picture" (complete with horns!), and the aggressive, bluesy "Action," "The Search" does offer new thrills.

Photo by Robin Cooper, Alabama Governor's StaffJames Logan's principal and student body president have joined together to prod the high school community to donate cash to help disaster victims. This time the victims are the students and staff of Enterprise High School in Alabama, which was badly damaged when a deadly tornado struck it on March 1.
On Monday, Principal Don Montoya and ASB president Catherine Start spoke over the intercom during 2nd period to get the fundraising drive started:
“As most of you know, on Thursday, March 1st, a tornado swept right through Enterprise High School in Enterprise, Alabama, destroying the school and killing eight students. Many were left severely injured and lost their homes due to this tornado. We can only imagine the pain the students of Enterprise High School are suffering," Start and Montoya said in their joint announcement. "These students have just lost their classmates, their friends and their school. In a mere 30 seconds, their lives were changed—forever."

John Snow (1813 - 1858) was a British physician and a leader in the adoption of anaesthesia and medical hygiene, and is often considered one of the fathers of epidemiology for his work in tracing the source of a cholera outbreak in Soho, Westminster, England in 1854.
Early life
John Snow was born on March 15, 1813 in York, England. He was the first of nine children born to William and Frances Snow in their North Street home. His neighbourhood was one of the poorest in the city, and was always in danger of flooding because of its proximity to the River Ouse. His father worked in the local coal yards that were constantly replenished from the Yorkshire coalfields via barges on the Ouse. Snow was baptised Anglican at the church of All Saints, North Street.
Read John Snow's letter 1854 letter, The Cholera Near Golden Square, and at Deptford, free from the UCLA School of Public Health's Department of Epidemiology.
