Have you ever wondered what it takes to put on one of Louisville's biggest music festivals, Abbey Road on the River? Approximately 25,000 enthusiastic Beatles fans from 50 states and 10 countries will attend the festival May 24-28 to watch more than 60 bands play music, mostly by The Beatles. Obviously this undertaking is a logistics nightmare and requires tons of planning and preparation.
Louisville.com was able to discuss preparation for the festival with the mastermind behind AROTR, Gary Jacob, an experienced event producer from Cleveland who has organized other events such as the National Rib Cook-off, Millennium events for Kodak in 2000, and Easter at the White House during the Clinton Administration. Jacob started organizing the festival in late fall 2001. "It really does take 12 months to make it all work, he said"
Abbey Road on the River is not organized like most, if any, other festivals in the country. Jacob is the only full-time employee of the festival and works alone most of the time. His secret weapon is his network of local freelancers who assist with PR, marketing, graphic design, website development, production, food and beverage, band relations, and much more. In this network there are 10 to 12 department heads and close to 200 people working during the festival. The first day of the festival is the first time everyone comes together as a group. Sure that sounds scary, but they have pulled it off since its Cleveland inception in 2002.
The last two weeks prior to the festival are the most hectic, with all of the various elements needing to come together in a timely manner. This past Wednesday, May 16, eight days before the festival is set to open, Jacob and his staff were finishing stage drawings, band advances and hotel reservations, signage, last-minute advertising, staff meetings and taking care of sponsor requests—and that to-do list changes minute by minute. At this rate there is no time for them to do anything else except to continue to accelerating forward to opening day, start at 6 a.m. and work until they sleep. They eat on the run and keep their meetings short and efficient. All energy focuses on the vision of the final product and how it needs to look like to ensure a safe, clean and fun environment.
There will be a total of 10 stages this year. Five outdoors stages will be on the Belvedere and three inside the Galt House. AROTR also will use two stages on Fourth Street Live! in Hard Rock Café and one in the street on Friday, May 25 for a free lunchtime concert (this year is the second the festival has hosted concerts at Fourth Street Live!, last year was the first).
Obviously none of this planning is possible without funding. Abbey Road on the River is in two cities annually now, Louisville and Washington DC. The combined budget for both cities is close to $1 million. Jacob expressed how difficult it is to organize a festival and securing sponsorships is near impossible. Jacob said "The most difficult aspect, of planning Abbey Road on the river, is communicating to the establishment in Louisville what this event really means. We bring in families from all over the world who sing the praises of Louisville 12 months a year. These people tell us that Abbey Road on the River is their families' annual vacation, or that Abbey Road on the River is the most important weekend of the year for them, or that Abbey Road on the river helped them get through a job loss or sickness or breakup or death of a partner. Abbey Road on the River is much more, much much more than some bands playing Beatles music. It has become an important 'community' that enriches many many peoples' spirit. Companies in Louisville like Humana should be jumping at the chance to be part of something that offers so much happiness and yet we have produced this event here in Louisville now since 2005 with no corporate sponsorship to speak of. Louisville and its citizens pride themselves on being one of the best festival towns in America, but really, at the end of the day corporate support only goes to the Derby Festival, and now the YUM center. Sponsorships are the difference between events that last, and those that don't. Our product, the music of the Beatles, can last here in Louisville for another 20 years, if just one company reading this story would realize what it means to make people's lives better through music."
Despite the challenges of sponsorship, weather threats, and the everyday realities of the economy, the festival has remained profitable through smart work and careful management since 2002.

HOUSTON – With the summer transfer window set to open June 27, one of the hottest commodities in MLS looks to be Houston Dynamo defender Geoff Cameron.
Reports during this past Saturday's broadcast of the Texas Derby – a 2-1 win over FC Dallas – claimed that three clubs, Schalke 04 of the German Bundesliga and English Premier league clubs Everton and Stoke City, were at BBVA Compass Stadium for the game to scout the multi-talented defender.
But while his international profile is rising and the attention seems to be ramping up, Cameron is focused on keeping his head down and focusing on what he can control: playing soccer for the Houston Dynamo.
"I did hear about it after the fact," Cameron said of being watched by the scouts and a possible international move. "I'm trying to stay focused and play [in Houston] right now. I'm here with the Dynamo and I'm here in Houston and I love playing for [Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear] and playing here, but if it happens it happens."
In the Saturday's match, Cameron's first appearance since coming back from international duty for the Dynamo, the US international showed his wares at both central defense and in the midfield once Houston gained a man advantage after Jair Benítez's 63rd-minute red card. Unbeknownst to him, he was auditioning for international scouts.
That is part of the process, and both he and his agent – former Glasgow Rangers midfielder John Davies – would rather it stay that way.
"My agent doesn't tell me this kind of stuff and says, 'Just play your game and I'll take care of my job,'" Cameron said about how he is dealing with the process. "He's been through it as a player and knows there's a lot of pressure when teams are watching and he thinks I'm better off like this.
"I don't ask him much and don't really talk about that. I don't really want to know that process."
While Cameron is distancing himself from the process, it is no surprise teams are interested in the 6-foot-3 center back. The 26-year-old's unique skill set – especially on the ball – is sure to attract more interest along the lines of what he got on Saturday night.
"Geoff's a top player and we've heard through the grapevine that some clubs in Europe are interested," Dynamo executive Chris Canetti told MLSsoccer.com. "We certainly wouldn't be surprised if some teams knocked on our door about him but, at this point, no formal offers or inquiries have been made."

We talked to Lloyd Perry and Rebecca Scott, the winners of Under 21 Latin at Blackpool Festival 2017. Lloyd and Rebecca represent England.
[Rebecca]: Yes, quite (laughing)
[Lloyd]: Just a little bit! (laughing)
[Rebecca]: I started at the age of four. I don't know why, just came to the kids' classes, and then continued with the IDTA medallists programme. By the age of six, I was in the competitive circle because I loved the performing part of it. That's what I loved the most about it. I had few partners, my first partner, when I was six, was a friend from school who I invited to come to dance along. I was his partner for couple of years. Then, when I wanted to be more serious about it, I had another partner. I think I met Lloyd when we were about nine years old and we were ten when we started dancing together. And now, it is nine years down the line (laughing).
[Rebecca]: Yes, I guess it is. It has been quite a long time now.
[Lloyd]: I did not start so early, I joined the kids' classes when I was about seven years old. I started competing when I was about nine years old. Shortly after that, about 10 months into my competing, I started dancing with Becks. I was really competing for about a year before I met her. And we have been competing together since.
[Rebecca]: It is funny actually, we were discussing it last night (laughing). The first time we ever met, was on a little TV show. It was a kids' TV show about Ballroom and Latin. Lloyd had his partner, I had mine and we were competing against each other. And he has actually just started dancing.
[Lloyd]: I literally just started dancing when we first met.
[Rebecca]: We then competed against each other for about a year. Then, after British nationals, we got together
[Lloyd]: My parents asked Rebecca whether she would like to dance with me or not. And she could not say no! (laughing)
[Rebecca]: Yes.
[Rebecca]: No, in my case they were not. I absolutely have no idea where I got it from. My sister and I both dance, and neither of us know where that came from.
[Lloyd]: It is totally different for me. I come from a big background of dancing. My grandparents were professional dancers, also my Mum and Dad. They are teachers and they own a dance school so I was brought into that world very early. I did not start dancing yet, but I was around dancing from very young age. My Mum and Dad still have got a massive involvement in what we do. They prop us in the right direction, they manage us, they make sure that we are staying in track. So, yes, my Mum and Dad are very important cog in that machine.
[Rebecca]: It is always a hard question. There are so many different aspects of it, not just the dancing we do, the fact that we compete. I do love the competitive aspect of it, I love competing and going to the competitions. For me, it is always been the fact that number one is that I love to dance, but I love to perform it, I love to absorb the music and enjoy myself on the floor.
[Rebecca]: Hmmm... hard to answer
[Lloyd]: It is hard to decide, because you don't have just one not the other. There is got to be a balance between being a competitor and an artist. When you practice and you are working on your dancing it is very important to be wrapped up in the artist side of dance, the music, the choreography and what you feel. But you need to keep in the back of your mind what adjudicators want you to do. You need to be able to sell it, you need to be competitive. You need to love the competition. For me, there are two things that I love: the music and the competition, the adrenaline and the energy I get from the competition. But when I practice, I love the music and how it makes me feel. The fake tan and the costumes are definitely not at the top of my list (laughing).
[Lloyd]: Mainly outside, I would say. We have two very different friend groups. We are actually quite friendly with everyone we compete against...
[Rebecca]: Yes! It is a community, sportsmanship. Of course you get upset but it would be silly to get upset about every single thing you are not pleased with. It is not great but...
[Lloyd]: You just need to try as much as you can. We all want the same thing at the end of the day...
[Rebecca]: But to hold it against each other would be wrong. It is not their fault they were better on the day than you were.
[Rebecca]: No, just in dancing
[Rebecca]: No, because actually we live about two hours away. So very different friends, two very different circles. I live in Solihull, in Birmingham area.
[Lloyd]: I am from South Wales. I live twenty minutes outside of Cardiff.
[Rebecca]: We are now used to it. I remember when we were kids, two hours of travelling was a problem.
[Lloyd]: They see it as normal. Most of my friends are people I grew up with, went to school with so they know what I do. It is something they associate with me. They already been on the phone congratulating me. There will be a party when I am back. Any excuse for a night out (laughing).
[Rebecca]: Very short!
[Rebecca]: Exactly!
[Lloyd]: There was a little bit of a party yesterday but we were half asleep (laughing)
[Rebecca]: We will enjoy the rest of the week now.
[Lloyd]: What do I like about Becks... well, I would say she is very easy-going, in a good way. She doesn't let me to get away with murder but she puts up with my flaws. We've known each other for so long so I think she reads me pretty well. I do an average job in reading her so... Over all these years together we built up a close relationship. She is like my sister.
[Rebecca]: I agree, just...
[Lloyd]: Be nice!
[Rebecca]: Well, I agree I am fabulous (laughing)! But seriously, we've known each other for so long, it works, we work so well together. Like Lloyd said, we read each other so easily. We sort of know each other feelings, and we know how to deal with that. Lloyd is like the other half of me. We are quite opposite in quite a few ways but we balance each other out. If I get stressed, he is the one chilling out, laid back and that helps me.
[Rebecca]: Sometimes he gets too stressed about something, he puts too much pressure on himself but he doesn't need to. He should work on his self-confidence.
[Lloyd]: Probably...
[Rebecca]: You don't need to doubt yourself. That's what I think.
[Lloyd]: Maybe she is too nice.
[Rebecca]: I'd take that.
[Rebecca]: All sorts. I eat rabbit food as he calls it, because I like salads.
[Lloyd]: Exactly. And maybe this is her biggest fault!
[Rebecca]: I am partial to a bit of chocolate, and he is as well! Anyway, I think it is normal to watch what you eat. But I really like getting creative with food, and you can get creative with salads.
[Rebecca]: No, no, I just like it. I like chicken with salad, or egg... Healthy food basically.
[Lloyd]: I eat a lot. I like my food. I go to the gym a lot, so it kind of cancels out the calories. I don't eat bad, I don't eat McDonalds every day, I eat healthy stuff like chicken, stir-fries... just a lot of it (laughing). Oh, and you can't beat the curry. I love a curry.
[Rebecca]: I cannot remember the last time (laughing). I see friends at the university. OK, I go to the gym a lot. I read a lot, I love books. That's about it.
[Rebecca]: Any sort! But fiction mainly, anything which interests me.
[Lloyd]: I go to the gym as I said. This year I got my own clothing company which I spend a lot of time working on. It is fitness clothing. So a lot of my time going into it when I am not dancing. I do a lot of work on the laptop, like marketing and generally business things. I try to find some time for friends. And sleep (laughing). It is only so much you can get done in a day apart from dancing. I have a pretty simple life actually. I go to the gym, I dance, I do some work on the clothing company and I sleep (laughing).
[Lloyd]: Actually no, I really don't. I have some series I love to watch but not TV program...
[Rebecca]: Or films sometimes
[Lloyd]: Yes, I like a good film.
[Lloyd]: Either action or comedy. Something which makes me laugh or keeps me on edge of my seat.
[Rebecca]: I cannot imagine!
[Lloyd]: I love sport. Something like swimming, tennis, golf, boxing, I love them all. I like to watch them all. I used to swim when I was younger. But I don't know, I could imagine getting bored with it as it is one thing.
[Rebecca]: Yes, dancing evolves very quickly. You were good at swimming.
[Lloyd]: I imagine tennis or golf would be more interesting because you are always against someone directly... My Dad is a huge golf fun. He'd prefer me to take up golf and be like Rory McIlroy, get rich! (laughing)
[Rebecca]: I don't know, it is so hard, I've been dancing all my life! Before dancing I did gymnastics. This is the only other thing I can think of... Maybe that...
[Lloyd]: I would make sure that Youth event finishes earlier here, before the Rising Stars (laughing).
[Rebecca]: Change the times, please! Sleep is important!
[Lloyd]: At the competition, for me, jive is the best dance. And it is never done from the first rounds in this country. So I would always have jive from the first round.
[Rebecca]: We love jive! But it is only danced from the semifinals.
[Lloyd]: It is hard to say what I would change... because there is always a good reason of why not to change it. For instance, if you wanted less people in a heat to allow judges to have a better look at everyone, the competition would become a two day or three day event. Let's say if they included a jive, it would make a competition a lot longer and people a lot more tired.
[Rebecca]: It is all very difficult.
[Lloyd]: Our favourite and our best.
[Lloyd]: Foxtrot
[Rebecca]: We stopped Ballroom a couple of years ago now, but every time somebody puts a Foxtrot music on, he is like "oh, I miss Foxtrot, let's do a Foxtrot"!
[Lloyd]: It is the only Ballroom dance I really, really miss. I love it.
[Rebecca]: I quite like Tango. It is very different to the other dances.
[Lloyd]: To be honest we don't have big arguments. Of course, we argue, everyone argues. But nothing I would consider a serious big argument. You know, really falling out.
[Rebecca]: Of course we argue at practice. About timing or about taking a step in some other way...
[Lloyd]: Me, all the time (laughing)!
[Rebecca]: What!?? How many times you said I was right (laughing). We don't let anything like that to escalate.
[Lloyd]: If anything escalated big, my Dad would not let us! Because we were always surrounded by either teachers or parents... we managed really well.
[Rebecca]: I think it had impact on us, because now, when we are alone we don't let it escalate. Honestly, it is a truth, we've never, ever, had a shouting match.
[Lloyd]: Because we are far away, whenever we get together it is mostly to practise and to dance. There is no room to argue. We don't go home together still mad at each other. Once practise is done it is done.
[Lloyd]: I think so.
[Rebecca]: And in a sense it teaches us to value the time that we actually have together. That's why we don't want to waste time shouting and screaming at each other, or being "in a mood" for each other.
[Lloyd]: There is nothing worse... When we were younger, at practice nights, we've used to see a lot of other couples on the floor absolutely screaming at each other. It was so bad to watch!
[Rebecca]: We used to say to each other that we could never be like that.
[Lloyd]: These people were adults but not behaving...
[Rebecca]: Now when we are older, we go to these practice nights as adults, but we are aware there are children there. We still remember what we used to see and it makes you think why would you want to set that sort of example. It is a bad example anyway.
[Lloyd]: This one!
[Rebecca]: Definitely.
[Lloyd]: We had a few good ones. The closed British championships, the nationals. We've done very well. We won the Youth and Juvenile and Junior quite a number of times. But also won the Under 19 in Paris. This year you made the majority of the international finals.
[Rebecca]: But when you win the competition like this is something else.
[Lloyd]: It is unbelievable.
[Rebecca]: Blackpool is Blackpool.
[Lloyd]: It is the whole surroundings and atmosphere. It is about who is watching you and who you're competing against.
[Rebecca]: And it is the whole build-up, from the International and the UK Open everything is set towards Blackpool.
[Lloyd]: It is months and months of anticipation. The whole weekend was very good for us, very successful because we also made the finals of the Rising Stars. We were over the moon!
[Lloyd]: We are still young, yes!
[Lloyd]: Yes, but we will not dance that again, we will try to keep progressing forward. Rising Star will be the aim, and full Amateur will follow.
[Lloyd]: That would be great (laughing). But I doubt it. We've never actually done the full Amateur there. We've always done the Under21.
[Lloyd]: I think so. With history of how successful England was there was a generation which, kind of, was relying on being simply English and feeling like they came from this tradition, been taught by the best ... but it doesn't mean that you are going to be the best. For years there has been very little successful English dancers, especially in Latin. The Ballroom is still quite strong in this country and has been for a while but Latin, kind of, dropped off. We have Neil Jones in Amateur who is very successful, but before that it was many years ago we had a successful dancer. Now, we have few young people who understand and come to the competitions and they recognise how hard people are working around the world. In this country, you get used to competing just against each other. And there is a very small number of people in England who dance when you compare to other countries.
[Rebecca]: When you take our Juniors, they compete against each other, pretty much the same group of people. But when they come to the Blackpool Junior Festival they realise it is a completely different game!
[Lloyd]: When you take all the Russian and Ukrainian kids, the Chinese and the Americans, they are all very high level. So it comes a realisation that there are people out there who work as hard as or harder than you. Because there is always someone working harder. They are getting better a lot younger now.
[Lloyd]: Couples in other countries developed fast. In the last 20 years Latin has changed massively. I am too young to have watched it live, but watching the videos, looking back, it has developed so fast. Russian couples, American couples, they really pushed the development of Latin dancing. They completely changed how it is done and how it's danced. You just have to keep with the people who are pushing the game forward and you've got to look at the top competitors in Professional and Amateur to look what they are doing... analyse how and what they are improving... Latin dancing now is not going to be the same in 10 years' time in the future.
[Rebecca]: You've got to keep looking forward
[Rebecca]: I think the difference now is a lot less than it was years ago.
[Lloyd]: Yes. But there is a certain maturity, relaxation and understanding in what Professionals are doing.
[Rebecca]: Amateurs still have, a kind of, raw approach to what they are doing. There is a lot of energy thrown into all they are doing. With Professionals you have more sophisticated approach. They have an air of "I know what I am doing", that sort of certainty.
[Lloyd]: We never danced for WDSF or been to their competitions, but we watched the videos. I like to know what is going on (laughing).
[Lloyd]: To be honest, I would love to just throw everyone in one competition.
[Rebecca]: And see what happens!
[Lloyd]: I think it would be the best thing to do. Judging would be difficult, it would be a hard scenario. However, people have come over from WDSF into WDC and in their first competition have been very successful... so I don't know. There is definitely a massive issue there but you cannot blame couples for what is going on. It is their choice to dance in one or the other organisation. But wherever they danced, they did not cause the problem in the first place.
[Rebecca]: I would love to compete against everyone else, if only they could come to Blackpool.
[Lloyd]: Yes, if everybody came to dance this weekend, it would be that feeling that the champion is the champions of everyone. We've won this weekend, but there is still a lot of Under21's who were not allowed to dance this weekend...
[Lloyd]: It is hard to know what one can do...
[Lloyd]: Indonesia. We went to the island of Lombok, and it was amazing. It was for the Indonesian championships.
[Rebecca]: It was very hot there. Boiling. But it was absolutely beautiful.
[Lloyd]: The competition was very close to the hotel. The hotel was on an amazing beach... it was great.
[Lloyd]: But I did! We were still doing Ballroom. It was our last ever Ballroom competition.
[Lloyd]: Phones taken over the world... I use it to access various social media like Snapchat. I use Instagram the most.
[Rebecca]: I love photos, that's why I think Instagram is the best.
[Lloyd]: YouTube. That's what I watch instead of TV.
[Rebecca]: Yes, because it is about real people.
[Lloyd]: Actually, Facebook is a place we're watching the dance videos.
[Rebecca]: There is so many of dance pages on Facebook.
[Lloyd]: Also, DSI TV is good, you can get an account there. I like watching the big competitions in there because you can see everything.
[Rebecca]: Everybody has a Facebook but I think we do still appreciate that you don't need your phone when you sitting next to each other. This is more important.
[Lloyd]: It is funny when you show each other things on the phone and the conversation becomes about "what's on the phone".
[Lloyd]: We have a number of smaller competitions coming up. We want to keep on the same track we are at the moment. Things are going well. We feel like we are improving. We want to start to attack more of the Amateur competitions now. Obviously everybody there is of a high standard, and older, so we have to work very hard to start to break into higher rounds. I like the direction we are going.

Shut. The. Fuck. UP.
I don't care what time zone we are currently flying over—my internal clock and my wristwatch say it's 3:30 in the morning. I took this flight and an Ambien because I'm good at sleeping on planes. I have my rituals: I don't drink caffeine, I listen to Joni Mitchell laced with Sufjan Stevens, I wrap myself in my giant knitted shawl.
All I ask is that a bratty toddler not kick my seat and that you Shut. The. Fuck. UP.
Even with headphones on, I can hear you yammering away with your life story and relationship history (which, from the sounds of it, you might want to keep to yourself until the third date; just a thought).
When I ask if you could lower your voices because every other single person on the plane is trying to sleep (as evidenced by the pitch-black cabin and profusion of navy blankets, sleep masks, and earbuds), you stare at me as if I just killed your dog. I explain that of course you have the right to talk but that I'm just asking for some courtesy of your fellow travelers. Bring the volume down or I'm going to descend into madness and punch you in the face. Forget about true love's kiss from Prince Charming in 18C. Your kiss is on my fist when they turn out the lights.
What passengers have you wanted to kick the crap out of during a flight?

- Purchase or Sale of Ownership Interest

Not Just Math…Real-World Transaction Experience Behind the Numbers
Our company started in 2003 as an advisory firm to small business owners to assist in the confidential sale of their businesses. After expanding the company to three cities in three states and representing hundreds of business owners in the sale of their companies, we recognized that the difference between success and failure centered on a quality business valuation.
Owners that had an accurate understanding of the value of their company were able to plan and make decisions on reality versus using misunderstood revenue and profit multiples. We learned that business owners with credible information to substantiate value were able to plan for their business exit as well as have a useful tool in their negotiations.
We made a strategic decision to transform our company from strictly a transaction advisory firm to a business valuation firm to reach a much wider market, both in geography and in scope. Though we don't sell companies any longer, our roots are those that understand the reality of the marketplace.
Our business valuation process is simple.
Step 1: Initial Phone or Email Consultation: We will discuss your industry, why your valuation is needed, and the size of your company.
Step 2: Project Quote: Based on the initial consultation, we will prepare a quote for the business appraisal project.
Step 3: Engagement Agreement: If you would like to proceed, we will send over the engagement agreement. You will need to return the agreement to us along with the full payment for the business valuation.
Step 4: Data Gathering: You will complete our business questionnaire and send us 3 to 5 years of corporate tax returns or financial statements.

|October 21, 2010
Objective: The aim of the study was to proove the safety of the full arthroscopic approach in autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT) for full thickness cartilage defects of the medial/lateral and retropatellar compartement.
Methods: prospective cohort study; Level of evidence 3. multi center study (4 centers), clinical follow up 2 years . Mean follow-up was 2±0.1 years. 42 patients (mean age 38,3 years, range 18 to 50 yrs) underwent full arthroscopical autologous chondrocyte implantation with spheroids (ACT3D Codon Ag Teltow) of full size defects in the knee (medial/lateral condyle, retropatellar/trochlear compartement) with a mean defect size of 4,7 cm2 (range 2,5 to 9.5 cm2). Knee function was measured by Lysholm- and HSS score, Tegener activity scale, VAS. All patients underwent an one year follow up MRI. Statistical analysis in SPSS.
Results and conclusions: The study showed no increased risk or severe adverse events in the arthroscopical application. The two year follow up showed significant increased results in the Lysholm, HSS and tegner activity scoring. No revision surgery was needed during follow up time. Significant decrease of the VAS Pain assessment in the course of treatment. We implanted in the mean 38,5 spheroids/cm2 (range 10 to 292). This is corresponding to 7,7 million cells/cm2 (range 2 to 23,3 millions cells/cm2). The threshold dose of classical ACT of 1 million cells/cm2 (5/spheroids/cm2) was not under runned. The intraoperative loss of spheroids was estimated by the surgeons underneath 10% (5 Spheroids). Magnetic resonance imaging revealed that in the majority of cases, filling of the defect was accomplished with a non homogeneous surface and structure of the graft.
42 consecutive patients were treated in grade III to IV (Outerbridge/ICRS) cartilage defects with intact corresponding cartilage surface. The full arthroscopic application of autologous chondrocyte implantation using chondrospheres is a safe procedure that yields to significant functional improvement in the 2 years follow up time. An arthrotomy causing prolonged rehabilitation and significant more postoperative pain by damage of the soft tissue can be avoided. During operation no conversion to open procedure was necessary.
The risk of intraoperative spheroid loss can be controlled by an experienced arthroscopic surgeon. Even retropatellar defects can be reached without everting the patella. However, further investigations are necessary to determine the long-term structural and bio mechanical properties of the repair tissue. As well as controlled data in comparison to matrix based grafts are needed.

Two Roads Diverged...
So it was 8:00 p.m. and I thought I'd check my email and then get busy working on a post or two for this blog as well as American Presidents. I have neglected my writing for the last couple of weeks and find myself waking up in the middle of the night and while I'm in the car thinking of things to write. However, it just doesn't seem to be flowing lately. The ideas are there but the will isn't. As you can tell from my last few posts I'm simply limping along until our final day.
Anyway….I checked my mail and had a nice "keep your chin up" message from Mike in Texas. Thanks Mike! Then I made a fatal mistake. I pulled up this site. Do you do that with your blog? You know, click on it just to make sure it's there…that it is loading right, etc or just simply to admire your little space on the web.
There it was… "my blog", and before I knew it my itchy clicker finger moved over to my links list and began clicking away. There I went down that Internet superhighway just to see what I could see. I've discovered that my link list is actually a very large black hole that sucks me in and keeps me from doing what I really need to do. Before I knew it I had lost two whole hours.
I guess we need to do that every now and then. Just sit and read what others have written or what they have found to share. I went around to various folks and read and clicked their links and commented when I felt I had something relevant to say. I found some interesting things. I decided I would detail a few of them here.
ahistoricality shares a link to the Discovery Channel that details their efforts to get the public to phone in regarding a list of the "more recent" seven wonders of the world. A number is provided where you can call in your vote. Since I didn't have a say the first time around I think I'll call in my list. I think I would choose Angkor, Cambodia; Easter Island statues, Chile; Machu Piccu, Peru; Stonehenge, Amesbury, United Kingdom; Timbuktu, Mali; Acropolis, Athens, Greece; and of course, Pyramids of Giza, Egypt. It was actually harder than I thought it would be to choose.
Want some information about the world's wealthiest leaders? World of Royalty links to an article that I found interesting. Reading about the lives of royals was one of the main reasons I became interested in history as a young girl. My high school library had several books by the author Jean Plaidy who wrote historical fiction with actual kings and queens of England and France as the main characters. She also wrote gothic mysteries under the name Victoria Holt. Royal lives whether actual biographies or somewhat fictionalized has always fascinated me simply because of the direct line of succession. How interesting it must be to have your family tree so well researched that there are no gaps….
Mr. Lawrence posted about a student who had to be restrained. The administrator who had to actually do the restraining was hurt. Mr. Lawrence was wondering why the administrator didn't call the police. In today's world you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. If the police had been called administrators would have been called insensitive and would have been accused of taking things too far. Please don't get me wrong. As a social studies teacher I have many special needs students in my class room every class period. Most attempt to complete their work, listen to me in class, and participate in discussions. Many are verbal learners so they usually ask fantastic questions. Most of the time the special needs students make connections and ask questions that many of my regular education students wouldn't dream of asking. However, a few special needs students are regularly violent or are so overwhelmed by the stimuli in the regular education classroom that they cannot attend to school work. They speak out accusing other students of looking at them, threatening them, or simply hissing at kids to get their attention. They throw things, walk around the room and pull things out of cabinets or drawers, and from time to time leave the class room without permission knowing I can't follow them. I document every episode. You would think after a handful of such episodes it would be logically assumed that the regular education classroom is not the proper place for certain students. The students themselves are attempting to tell us they are in the wrong place by acting out constantly. Just yesterday we had a meeting on a young man who has terrorized one of my history classes all year. After utilizing many different strategies I finally got the young man to at least sit quietly in a chair during class around December. However, to this day he has yet to pick up a pencil or attempt to complete any class work. Finally, the science teacher and I were listened to and the student's time with the special education was increased. But at what cost? The other students in my room were terrorized all year. I was subjected to undue stress every day as I never knew if I would be hit, if another student would be hit by a flying chair, or if we would have the joy of listening to a string of profanity that this young man would let fly at the most inopportune times. Most importantly this troubled student missed out on an entire year of social studies and science instruction because he was in an environment that was not conducive to his needs for learning.
Someone has finally penned a post that gets a big AMEN from me. In the post "The Third Rail" dehavilland very correctly reminds us that parents need to be involved in their child's education. Now I know the "No Excuses" crowd will say that educators can and do very well without parent involvement but think how much better it would be if every parent worked with their child for 20 minutes-----even if it was simply to go over the school day to see what the child worked on. I sat in a conference last year with a parent who told me it wasn't her job to read with her child. Her tax dollars were paying me to do that. Meanwhile her child continued to wet his pants at least once a week in my class, sucked his thumb daily ( a ten year old), and had to be threatened with a write up to get any work completed. Yes, I know that that type of behavior can be evidence of child abuse. I did refer it to the social worker and counselor.
Finally, many thanks to Assorted Stuff for posting a link to this site. I have been very concerned with the fact that I can't access many sites on my school computer including my personal email address. Many educational sites are blocked as well. This blog looks like it will continue to be an interesting read in the future.
Two roads diverged on the Internet superhighway and I chose to meander down that unknown side road. It was an interesting three hours.

I tend to drift when I'm on the net, too. I agree with a friend: there's way way way too much information, and for we small unfortunate few with OCD and a hunger for knowledge, it becomes oppressive.
I don't remember how I lived before the 'net, and I'm not sure it's better that we have it, but it's here and that's all there is to it! ;-)

I love to see what else other have written. I first found your site by clicking a link at another site. I've added you to my blog links too.
We are all in this together regardless of the state or country. I feel stronger knowing I'm not the only one. I've gotten GREAT ideas to try, and I feel strengthened all without leaving the confines of my class or home.
Hugs to you!

Osama bin Laden's death proves a truism about the US struggle with terrorism: intelligence can be more important than firepower.
The strike team that killed bin Laden was small, with limited weapons. But years of painstaking intelligence work provided that team with the precise location of Al Qaeda's leader.
The result was a 40-minute operation that may rank as one of the greatest raids in US military history. Al Qaeda surely will live on. But the elimination of its inspiration and founder must still be a crushing blow to the Islamist organization, as the tenth anniversary of its September 11 attacks on America approaches.
"By any measure, the operation was a tremendous success," says Rick "Ozzie" Nelson, director of the homeland security and counterterrorism program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
As described by senior administration officials, the intelligence process that led in the end to a walled compound a half-mile from a Pakistani military academy was a slow and careful manhunt.
It began with a detainee. According to US officials, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, gave interrogators the pseudonym of a man he described as Osama bin Laden's most trusted courier. This person was also a protégé of Mr. Mohammed and a trusted aide of Abu Faraj al-Libbi, a former Al Qaeda number three who was captured in 2005.
"They indicated he might be living with and protecting bin Laden," said a senior administration official at a background briefing for reporters.
But they did not know this person's real name. For years, US intelligence searched for him in vain.
Then, four years ago, they uncovered his identity. US officials won't say how this was done. It took two more years of persistent effort to figure out in which areas of Pakistan the courier and his brother worked.
Still, US analysts could not figure out exactly where this courier lived. His tradecraft – measures taken to guard his own security – was too good.
But the care he took to cover his tracks led analysts to believe that he was doing something very sensitive for the Al Qaeda organization.
Last August, the US finally identified his home – and they were shocked when they did. It was a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, about 75 miles north of Islamabad. The house was large – about eight times larger than the average for the area. It was surrounded by 12- to 18-foot walls topped with barbed wire. Internal walls sectioned off different areas of the compound.
"The physical security measures of the compound are extraordinary," said a senior administration official.
The property was valued at $1 million but had no phone or Internet connection. The courier and his brother had no means of support that could explain the luxury in which they lived.
US intelligence analysts looked at it from every angle, considering who else other than bin Laden could be living there. They conducted red team alternative analyses to check their work, according to intelligence officials.
No single candidate but the storied Al Qaeda leader seemed to fit.
"So the final conclusion, from an intelligence standpoint, was twofold. We had high confidence that a high-value target was being harbored by the brothers on the compound, and we assessed that there was a strong probability that that person was Osama bin Laden," said a senior US official.
As outlined by administration officials, the intelligence process which led the US to bin Laden was not unusual. It was Manhunt 101 – get one piece of intelligence, use it to find another, and so on, up the trail to the target.
"This is how man-hunting works – whether it is a US Marshal trying to locate a criminal in the US, or US intelligence trying to locate a terrorist on the run. It is painstaking, slow work," says Mr. Nelson of CSIS, a former member of the National Counterterrorism Center's Directorate of Strategic Operational Planning.
Last September, the CIA began to work with President Obama to decide a US course of action. By mid-March, the administration decided to "pursue this in an aggressive way," according to an administration officials.
Mr. Obama chaired five National Security Council meetings on the subject, according to the White House. He gave the final go-ahead for an attack on the morning of Friday, April 29.
Weather delayed the attack for a day.
Leon Panetta, current CIA chief and nominee for Secretary of Defense, was in charge of the military team that carried out the operation. When he and his aides heard the news that the raid had been successful and bin Laden positively identified, cheers rang through the room at CIA headquarters, according to the Associated Press.
In a statement, Mr. Panetta praised the "highly complex, innovative, and forward-leaning" clandestine operations that led to a dirt road and a complex housing the most wanted man in the world.
The CIA chief also praised the help provided by the National Security Agency and other branches of US intelligence.
"Persistent hard work produced the results the American people expect of their intelligence service," he said.
On the other hand, US intelligence did not predict 9/11, nor has it stopped the so-called shoe bomber or other attacks.

Why is Truth so Hard to Find?
Truth and fiction are in the news a lot lately, most notably in the case of James Frey's bestseller, A Million Little Pieces. The book was first hailed by Oprah Winfrey and others as a compelling memoir about drug abuse and recovery, but when it was discovered that the author had taken, shall we say, liberties with the truth, he was widely condemned for duping Oprah and the more than 1 million people who bought the book. Meanwhile, the Bush administration has been criticized for the spin it has put on spying, without warrants, on Americans it considers suspicious. And we're about to be subjected to a long media circus over the trial of Enron executives Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling. The jury will have their work cut out for them trying to separate the evidence from the lies.
Why is it that in all walks of life it's so difficult to get to the truth? Do we secretly yearn for a good story more than we do for the straightforward facts? Do we prefer the lies we want to hear from our politicians rather than the truth we'd prefer not to deal with? It seems ironic that in order to get a dose of "reality," Americans turn to a host of television shows purporting to show life as it really is, but come no closer to the average viewer's real life than James Frey's book did.
Thus, it was refreshing to talk to Stanford Professor Robert I. Sutton recently about Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths, and Total Nonsense, his latest book (coauthored with fellow Stanford academic Jeffrey Pfeffer) about evidence-based management. Sutton has been studying organizational behavior for many years, and wrote about it for CIO Insight readers for two years. Sutton's work has led him to the belief that managers and leaders can do a better job if they use hard facts rather than half-truths.
The main idea for the book, he said, is "finding, facing and acting on the best evidence that you can." He admits that while this sounds simple, it is rarely donein part because it is so hard to accomplish in everyday life. "All of us as human beings have trouble getting past our biases and ideologies," he explained, which is why we hold on so long to doing what our gut tells us is right. There's also the problem of "the self-enhancement bias"which translates into believing you're better than the average manager and, therefore, you can succeed in your plans even if all evidence suggests you will fail. "It's like smoking cigarettes," said Sutton. "I still know people who smoke cigarettes who explain to me why they won't get sick even though everybody else does."
Much as we might hate to admit it, the evidence is right more often than the lies we choose to believe.

I won't be posting as much because I'll be covering the Ninja Parade
(Seen Above)
The players aren't the only guys in need of a bye week. I'm thrilled that there's no game this weekend. As part of my personal bye week celebration, I'm going to scale back the posts quite a bit. There will be some stuff, but nothing like the 4-5 articles per week day that we were rocking during August and September. Some of that is me being tired, and some of it is due to work related obligations.
Fairly normal posting will resume next week.
Speaking of next week, I'm going to be renaming the blog for a week as payment for a favor done for me by one of the readers. More on that later. You'll see the name change in the header graphic next week. Don't be alarmed. It won't be permanent.

Two of early cinema's greatest occult themed films will be shown at the New Bev tonight and tomorrow. Haxan and Day of Wrath are both beautifully shot and amazing time capsules. Haxan in particular is as eerie as cinema gets, with its stilted silent era pacing and primitive special effects. Cadaver ghouls, witches' orgies and images from the Compendium Maleficarum (discussed here in one of my very first blogs back in 2007) make for a very interesting travel through the history of Witchcraft through a 1920's lens. An early Halloween treat for sure!

I had posted a fix for using Captivate 6 HTML5 projects in DPS. In that article, I showed how to remove embedded browser check code so that your project would render without a browser check in DPS. However, in Captivate 7, removing the browser check script from the index.html file doesn't do the job. (If you have my DPS Examples app installed on your iPad, and you're reading this blog on your iPad, then tap here to see examples of Captivate content running in a DPS folio.)
I asked the Captivate engineers if they had a trick up their sleeves, and this is what they delivered (thanks to Suresh Jayaraman and independently to Mayank Mahajan: if you see either of them, give them each a high five…)
- Open "AdobeCaptivate.ini" file present in Adobe Captivate installation folder .
- Add the following line of text at line 2 or line 3 of the "AdobeCaptivate.ini" file .
SuppressIncompatibleBrowserMessage = 1
- Publish the project to HTML 5
Now, the result is a folder with an index.html file. As I indicated in the earlier article, you can then make a Web Content overlay and point it at your index file. Another approach is to use the Captivate project as an HTML article rather than in a Web Content Overlay.
If you have portrait-only folio, rename the index.html file to index_v.html. If you have a landscape-only folio, rename the index.html file to index_h.html. If you have a dual-orientation folio, don't change the name of the index.html file. In the Folio Builder panel of InDesign CC, click the "Add article" button and choose Import Article.
Enter your article metadata and then browse to the folder that contains your Captivate project, and then click OK.
InDesign will now seem to go into zombie mode, in which it will appear to be processing the HTML folder, but will never finish the task. The solution, which I outlined in another blog post, is to quit InDesign while it is hanging on the HTML import. Actually, what you need to do is to tell inDesign to quit, but don't actually quit. Instead, wait, and InDesign will emerge from its coma and finish importing the HTML article.
Then, you can politely tell the "Do you really want to quit?" dialog that you do not want to quit, and your HTML project from Captivate will now be safely in your folio, with no browser check. Once published, your user will need to push the "play" button on the Captivate project to start it, which is annoying to be sure. I hope the Captivate engineers will allow us one day to auto play a Captivate HTML5 project, if only in our DPS folios.

Previous posts in this series:
- A Stranger in Olondria by Sofia Samatar (my review) - The farther I get from this novel the more special it seems, and the more surprising its assurance for a debut offering. Already nominated for the Nebula and BSFA, I think that A Stranger in Olondria deserves to add a Hugo nomination to its laurels.
- Mortal Fire by Elizabeth Knox (my review) - I've already singled out the story with which I was introduced to Knox's writing, and which acts as a prologue to this novel, in my short fiction post. Mortal Fire is a very different beast from the story, less mysterious and spooky, but still a very clever variant on its YA tropes, and with an unusual, memorable heroine.
- The Accursed by Joyce Carol Oates - A nomination without a chance of making it to the ballot, I know, but I couldn't let Oates's weird, baggy, Gothic horror pass without a nomination for an award in whose bailiwick it surely lies.
- Sofia Samatar - It will probably come as no surprise that an author who appears twice on my ballot (three times if you count the fan writer category) should be up for this award. Samatar has had one of the most triumphant debut years in recent memory, and it seems only right to recognize that with a Campbell nomination. Second year of eligibility.
- Carmen Maria Machado - Another person who has appeared several times on my ballot already, with her stories "Inventory" and "Especially Heinous." First year of eligibility.
- Benjanun Sriduangkaew - I haven't singled out any stories by Sriduangkaew this year, but the pieces by her that I read--stories like "Annex" and "Silent Bridge, Pale Cascade"--showcased an exciting new talent. First year of eligibility.
- Tori Truslow - It's a bit rich, nominating someone for the Campbell based on a single story, but when that story has stuck with you as powerfully as Truslow's "Boat in Shadows, Crossing" has done, it makes a great deal of sense. First year of eligibility.

The AquaFlex jumpsuit line, with super-stretch neoprene, provides the ultimate in comfort and quality. With the full super-stretch neoprene used throughout, plus the liquid-sealed seams, the AquaFlex's quality stands out amongst the competition. The suits are made with AquaFlex neoprene which has three times the stretch of standard neoprene, making the suit easy to get on and off and also ensures a great fit for every body shape. The seams are sealed with liquid rubber, which make them durable and protects them from unraveling and also keeps water out and warmth in. The cuffs are all fused with the X-Tend technology which minimizes fraying and maximizes stretch. The left sleeve is outfitted with a silicone traction pad to keep wrist dive computers from rotating when neoprene compresses. The internal chest and back panels have a thermal loop laminate to help keep warmth at the body's core. The AquaFlex Jumpsuit line comes in three different thicknesses (3mm, 5mm, 7mm).
AquaFlex 3, 5 & 7mm Jumpsuit
- 3mm, 5mm or 7mm AquaFlex neoprene used throughout. This is the base thickness of the neoprene layer before the nylon outer and inner layers are added
- The outer nylon material is resistant to abrasions and hook-and-loop materials due to the tighter weave. This keeps the suit looking good and functioning well
- The inner material is ultra-soft, making these suits easy to don and doff
- Neoprene is an environmentally non-petroleum based material
- Skin-in-neck seal provides for a comfortable stretch and seals out water
- Internal thermal chest and back material keep warmth at the body's core (N/A on Women's Black/Pink & Black/Twilight)
- Liquid rubber seams prevent water transfer and unraveling (N/A on Women's Black/Pink & Black/Twilight)
- Silicone print wrist computer traction pad (N/A on Women's Black/Pink & Black/Twilight)
