Belo Horizonte (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˌbɛloɾiˈzõtʃi],[2] lit. "Beautiful Horizon") is the capital city of the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, located in the southeastern region of the country. As of 2013, the municipality's population is 2,479,175, making it the most populous city in Minas Gerais state and the sixth most populous city in the country. However the city's metropolitan area, the "Greater Belo Horizonte", is home of more than 5.15 million inhabitants (excluding the "Metropolitan Attach", or the "Expanded Metro area" which adds more than 650,000 people), making it the third most populous urban agglomeration in Brazil, after only the Greater São Paulo City and the Greater Rio de Janeiro.
The region was first settled in the early 18th century, but the city as it is known today was planned and constructed in the 1890s, in order to replace Ouro Preto as the capital of Minas Gerais. The city features a mixture of contemporary and classical buildings, and is home to several modern Brazilian architectural icons, most notably the Pampulha Complex. In planning the city, Aarão Reis and Francisco Bicalho sought inspiration in the urban planning of Washington, D.C.[3] The city has employed notable programs in urban revitalization and food security, for which it has been awarded international accolades.
The city is built on several hills and is completely surrounded by mountains.[4] There are several large parks in the immediate surroundings of Belo Horizonte. The Mangabeiras Park (Parque das Mangabeiras), located 6 km (4 mi) south-east from the city centre in the hills of Curral Ridge (Serra do Curral), has a very broad view of the city. It has an area of 2.35 km2 (580 acres), of which 0.9 km2 (220 acres) is covered by the native forest. The Jambeiro Woods (Mata do Jambeiro) nature reserve extends over 912 hectares (2,250 acres), with vegetation typical of the Atlantic forest. More than one hundred species of birds inhabit the reserve, as well as ten different species of mammals.
The city will be one of the host cities of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Additionally, Belo Horizonte hosted the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and 1950 FIFA World Cup.
The term "Grande BH" ("Greater Belo Horizonte") denotes any of various definitions for the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte. The legally defined Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte consists of 34 municipalities in total, and a population of around five million inhabitants (as of 2007, according to IBGE).[5][6]
The intense process of urbanization that is taking place in the metropolitan region has made some of the political boundaries between municipalities in the region obsolete. The city is now composed of a relatively contiguous urban area, centered on Belo Horizonte, which extends out into municipalities such as Contagem, Betim, Nova Lima, Raposos, Ribeirão das Neves, Ibirité, Santa Luzia and Sabará, among others.
The municipality bounded to the north by Vespasiano, to the north east by Santa Luzia, by Sabará to the east, by Nova Lima to the southeast, Brumadinho to the south and Ribeirão das Neves, Contagem and Ibirité to the west.
Belo Horizonte lies on a region of contact between different geological series of the Proterozoic. The geology largely comprises various crystalline rocks, which give rise to the varied morphology of the landscape. It is located in a large geological unit known as the craton of San Francisco, referring to extensive crustal nucleus of central-eastern Brazil, tectonicly stable at the end of the Paleoproterozoic and bordering areas that suffered the regeneration at the Neoproterozoic.
The archean rocks members of Belo Horizonte complex and supracrustal sequences of the Paleoproterozoic is predominant. The area of Belo Horizonte complex includes the geomorphological unit called Depression of Belo Horizonte, which represents about 70% of the municipality area and has its greatest expression in the northern Ribeirão Arrudas (Rues Stream) pipeline. The metasedimentary rocks has its area of occurrence on the south of Ribeirão Arrudas pipeline, constituting about 30% of the area of Belo Horizonte. The characteristics of this area are lithological diversities and rugged topography, which has its maximum expression in the Serra do Curral (Corral Ridge), the southern boundary of the municipality.
Its soil comprises a succession of layers of rocks of varied composition, represented by itabirite, dolomite, quartzite, filities and schists different from the general direction northwest-southeast and dip to the southeast. The hills of Belo Horizonte are part of the Espinhaço Mountains and belong to the larger Itacolomi mountain chain. The highest point in the municipality is in the Serra do Curral, reaching 1,538 metres (5,046 ft).
Belo Horizonte's latitude at 19'55"South places it in the tropical zone. Yearly temperatures average between 9 and 35 °C (48 and 95 °F). The Köppen climate classification of the region is tropical savanna climate (Aw) and it borders on a humid subtropical climate (Cwa), (tropical on high altitudes, humid/warm summers and a dry/mild winters). Belo Horizonte is located about 300 kilometres (190 mi) from the sea.
Even though inter-seasonal differences are not as pronounced as they are in temperate places, there is a contrast between spring and summer, and between fall and winter. The coldest month is generally July, with a lowest recorded temperature of 2 °C (36 °F). The hottest month is usually January, with a highest recorded temperature of 35.4 °C (96 °F).
There can be problems related to low air humidity during August. The 852 metres (2,795 ft) elevation of Belo Horizonte helps a little in cooling the city, suppressing high maximum air temperatures experienced in nearby cities at lower altitudes. Belo Horizonte's climate is mild throughout the year. Temperatures vary between 11 and 31 °C (52 and 88 °F), the average being 22 °C (72 °F). Winter is dry, and summer is rainy.

The metropolis was once a small village, founded by João Leite da Silva Ortiz, a bandeirante explorer from São Paulo. The explorer settled in the region in 1701, leaving a gold rush expedition. He then established a farm called "Curral d'el Rey", archaic Portuguese for the "King's Corral", which in modern Portuguese would be spelled Curral do Rei. The farm's wealth and success encouraged people from surrounding places to move into the region, and Curral del Rey became a village surrounded by farms.[10]
Another important factor contributing to the growth of the village was the number of migrants from the São Francisco river region, who had to pass through Curral d'el Rey in order to reach southern parts of Brazil. Travelers usually visited a small wooden chapel, where they prayed for a safe trip. Due to this fact, the chapel was named Capela da Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem, which means "Chapel of Our Lady of the Good Journey." After the construction of Belo Horizonte, the old baroque chapel was replaced by a neo-gothic church which became the city's cathedral.[11]
The previous capital of Minas Gerais, Ouro Preto (meaning "black gold", due to dark rocks with gold inside found on the region), originally called "Vila Rica" ("wealthy village"), was a symbol of both the monarchic Brazilian Empire and the period when most of Brazilian income was due to mining, and that never pleased the members of the Inconfidência Mineira, republican intellectuals who conspired against the Portuguese dominion of Brazil. In 1889, Brazil became a republic, and it was agreed that a new state capital, in tune with a modern and prosperous Minas Gerais, had to be set.[12]
In 1893, due to the climatic and topographic conditions, Curral Del Rey was selected by Minas Gerais governor Afonso Pena among other cities as the location for the new economical and cultural center of the state, under the new name of "Cidade de Minas," or City of Minas.[13]
Aarão Reis, an urbanist from the State of Pará, was then set to design the second planned city of Brazil (the first one is Teresina), and then Cidade de Minas was inaugurated finally in 1897, with many unfinished constructions as the Brazilian Government set a deadline for its completion. Inhabitation of the city was subsidized by the local government, through the concession of free empty lots and funding for building houses. An interesting feature of Reis' downtown street plan for Belo Horizonte was the inclusion of a symmetrical array of perpendicular and diagonal streets named after Brazilian states and Brazilian indigenous tribes.[14]
In 1906, the name was then changed to Belo Horizonte, and at that time the city was experiencing a considerable industrial expansion that increased its commercial and service sectors. From its very beginning, the city's original plan prohibited workers to live inside the urban area which was defined by Avenida do Contorno (a long avenue which goes around the city's central areas), reserved for the public sector functionaries (hence the name of the still trendy neighborhood "Funcionários"), and bringing about an accelerated occupation outside the city's area well provided with infrastructure since its very beginning. Obviously, the city's original planners did not count on its population growth afterwards, which proved especially intense in the last twenty years of the 20th century.
In the 1940s, a young Oscar Niemeyer designed the Pampulha Neighborhood to great acclaim, a commission he got thanks to then-mayor, soon-to-be-president Juscelino Kubitschek. These two men are largely responsible for the wide avenues, large lakes, parks and jutting skylines that characterize the city today.[15]
Belo Horizonte is fast becoming a regional center of commerce. The Latin American Research and development center of Google, situated in Belo Horizonte, is responsible for the management and operation of the social networking website Orkut. It continues to be a trendsetter in the arts, particularly where music, literature, architecture and the avant-garde are concerned.[16]
According to the 2010 IBGE Census, there were 2,258,096 people residing in the city of Belo Horizonte.[17] The census revealed the following numbers: 1,110,034 White people (46.7%), 995,167 Brown (Multiracial) people (41.9%), 241,155 Black people (10.2%), 25,270 Asian people (1.1%), 3,477 Amerindian people (0.1%).[18]
In 2010, the city had 428,893 opposite-sex couples and 1,090 same-sex couples. The population of Belo Horizonte was 53.1% female and 46.9% male.[18]
The Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, called Greater Belo Horizonte, is the third most populous of Brazil, after only Greater São Paulo (with 19,672,582 people, first in Brazil and 5th in the world) and Greater Rio de Janeiro (with 14,387,000 people). The city is the sixth most populous of the country.
During the 18th century, Minas Gerais received many Portuguese immigrants, mainly from Northern Portugal as well as many enslaved Africans.[19]
Belo Horizonte has a notable Italian influence, around 30% of the city's population have some Italian origin.[20] The Italian culture is present in the cuisine, dance, and language.[21] People of German, Spanish, and Syrian-Lebanese ancestries also make up sizeable groups.

Catholic | 68.84% | 1,541,185 |

Belo Horizonte receives large numbers of visitors, as it is in the Brazilian main economic axis, exerting influence even on other states. Both multinational and Brazilian companies, like Google and Oi, maintain offices in the city. The service sector plays a very important role in the economy of Belo Horizonte, being responsible for 85% of the city's gross domestic product (GDP), with the industry making up for most of the remaining 15%. Belo Horizonte has a developed industrial sector, being traditionally a hub of the Brazilian siderurgical and metallurgical industries, as the state of Minas Gerais has always been very rich in minerals, specifically iron ore.
Belo Horizonte is the distribution and processing center of a rich agricultural and mining region and the nucleus of a burgeoning industrial complex. Production is centred on steel, steel products, automobiles, and textiles. Gold, manganese, and gem stones mined in the surrounding region are processed in the city.[23] The main industrial district of the city was set during the 1940s in Contagem, a part of greater Belo Horizonte. Multinational companies like FIAT (which opened its plant in Betim in 1974), Arcelor, and Toshiba have subsidiaries in the region, along with other textile, cosmetic, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, furnishing and refractory companies. Among the companies headquartered in the city we can list steel producer Açominas (held by Gerdau, one of the largest multinationals originated in Brazil); Usiminas; Belgo-Mineira (held by Arcelor); Acesita (partially held by Arcelor); mobile communication Vivo; and Telecom Italia Mobile, as well as the NYSE-listed electrical company CEMIG. Leading steel product makers Sumitomo Metals of Japan and Vallourec of France have also plans to construct an integrated steel works on the outskirts of the city.
There are also a large number of small enterprises in the technological sector with regional to nationwide success, particularly in the fields of computing and biotechonology. Because of both governmental and private funding in the diversification of its economy, the city has become an international reference in Information Technology and Biotechnology, and is also cited because of the advanced corporate and university research in Biodiesel fuel. The number of jobs in the Information sector has been growing at annual rates above 50%. The Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Area, composed of 33 cities under the capital's direct influence, is home to 16% of the country's biotechnology companies, with annual sales of over R$ 550 million.[24]
Projects in these fields are likely to expand because of integration between universities, the oil company Petrobras and the Brazilian Government. One of the largest events that ever took place in the city, the Inter-American Development Bank meeting, occurred in 2005 and attracted people from everywhere in the world.
For a long time it was marked by the predominance of its industrial sector, but from the 1990s there has been a constant expansion of the service sector economy, particularly in computer science, biotechnology, business tourism, fashion and the making of jewelry. The city is considered to be a strategic leader in the Brazilian economy. The move towards business tourism transformed the capital into a national hub for this segment of the tourist industry.
Portuguese is the official national language, and thus the primary language taught in schools. English and Spanish are both taught as second languages.
Several higher education institutions are located in Belo Horizonte, including:
The regional Minas Gerais' food and the now internationally known drink of cachaça are very popular and highly rated in the capital.[29]
Belo Horizonte is internationally known as the "capital of neighborhood bars."[30] Every year, the city hosts the Comida di Buteco festival ("Pub Foods", in an approximate translation), in which a panel selects 41 bars to be visited, and then elects the one with the best appetizers using the theme ingredient of each year.
Minas Gerais' cuisine is famous for its traditional dishes, like pão de queijo, feijão tropeiro, tutu de feijão, pork ribs, chicken-and-okra (served with a rich, brown gravy and rice) and other usually heavy, comfort-like food. The city also abounds with pizza places, barbecue houses, fine restaurants of various nationalities and other options.
Clube da Esquina is one of the most important musical movements in the musical history of Brazil. It originated in the mid-1960s, and since then its members have been hugely influential in Brazilian and even international music, some like Milton Nascimento and Toninho Horta achieving worldwide acclaim. Other people involved in the movement include musicians, songwriters, composers, conductors and lyricists, such as Tavinho Moura, Wagner Tiso, Andersen Viana, Milton Nascimento, Lô Borges, Beto Guedes, Flávio Venturini, Toninho Horta, Márcio Borges and Fernando Brant, among others.
The band Uakti - known for performing with self-built musical instruments - originated in Belo Horizonte under the influence of Walter Smetak and the Composition School from Bahia. Also, several nationally famous rock groups have been founded in Belo Horizonte, including Jota Quest, Pato Fu, Skank, 14 Bis and Tianastácia. In later years, Belo Horizonte has been more frequently included in Brazilian tours of foreign mainstream and independent acts.
Belo Horizonte is also known as the Brazilian Capital of Metal, hence the huge number of heavy metal bands (and the likes) founded there, especially in the 1980s. Most importantly, Overdose, the first metal band from BH and one of the first to gain prominence in Brazil; Sepultura, the world's best known Brazilian metal band; and Sarcófago, one of the founders of modern black metal. The contemporary Christian music band Diante do Trono, is also of Belo Horizonte.
Belo Horizonte features a number of museums including the Mineiro Museum, the Abílio Barreto Historic Museum, Arts and Workmanship Museum, a Natural History Museum and the UFMG Botanic Gardens, a telephone museum, the Pampulha Art Museum, the Professor Taylor Gramke Mineralogy Museum, and the UFMG Conservatory. The puppet theatre group Giramundo was established here in 1970, and continues to maintain a puppetry museum hosting a collection of their creations.
The Natural History Museum and Botanical Garden holds an important treasure of folk art – the Nativity of Pipiripau. Created during the 20th century, the craftsman Raimundo Machado, synchronizes 586 figures, distributed in 45 scenes, which tell the story of life and death of Jesus, mixed with its variety of arts and crafts.[31]
With 600,000 sq. m. of green area, the UFMG Museum of Natural History and Botanic Garden (MHN-JB) is a privileged ecological space that enables visitors to experience nature in a rich, multidisciplinary way. For 30 years, the mission of the MHN-JB has been to do research, to educate, and to meet the community's demand for service. It covers the areas of Anthropology, Archeology, Environmental Education, Natural History, Mineralogy, and Paleontology. It has an Ecological Amphitheater, a Free Art Atelier, a Greenhouse, and an Interactive Room. One of its traditional exhibitions is the Pipiripau Nativity Crèche.It has also created many attractions for the public such as:
Palácio das Artes, inaugurated in 1970, is the largest and most varied cultural complex in Minas Gerais. It comprises three theaters, three art galleries, a movie theater, a bookstore a coffee shop and photography exhibition space. It offers high quality programs for the several expressions in arts. The building was projected by Oscar Niemeyer and it also houses the Minas Gerais Handcraft Center.
The Pampulha Art Museum is located at the Pampulha Lagoon in Belo Horizonte in a building that originally housed the Pampulha Casino. The building was projected by Oscar Niemeyer, commissioned by the then mayor and future president of Brazil Juscelino Kubitschek in the early 1940s, with external grounds by landscaper Roberto Burle Marx.
The building was the first project of Oscar Niemeyer. It was an old casino, closed in 1946. In 1957, opened with the Art Museum. His design was influenced by the principles of Le Corbusier. The gardens of Burle Marx are an tribute to the tropical green. There is three sculptures by Ceschiatti, Zamoiski and José Pedrosa. In 1996, it won new multimedia rooms, library, café bar, souvenir shop and technical infrastructure. The MAP has an impressive collection of 1.600 works.[32] The Museum is an integral part of the "Pampulha Architectural Complex" a watershed in the history of modern architecture in Brazil and internationally.
Every two years, FIT BH, The International Theater Festival of Belo Horizonte, takes place in the city. This attracts artists from all over Brazil and worldwide. With the merger of two projects that would happen separately in 1994, one stage based, organized by the Francisco Nunes Theater, and the other street based, idealized by Grupo Galpão, came FIT-BH Palco & Rua. Produced every two years, under responsibility from the Belo Horizonte City Hall, through the Municipal Culture Office and the Association Movimento Teatro de Grupo of Minas Gerais, in the program there are street and stage shows, and also seminars, workshops, courses, talks, etc.
Several notable artistic groups originated in Belo Horizonte. Grupo Corpo, which is perhaps the most famous contemporary dance group in the country, was formed in the city in 1975. In March and April is the performance program from FID promoting contemporary dance in Belo Horizonte. The program presents groups from Belo Horizonte. For this project the priority invitations go to the shows created by groups and choreographers living in the city. The purpose is to take shows and other activities such as workshops, talks and video screenings to the less privileged regions of the city regarding access to cultural assets. Belo Horizonte is also host to the Centro Mineiro de Danças Clássicas school.
Belo Horizonte is served by three airports:
The city is connected to the rest of Minas Gerais state and the country by a number of roadways. Minas Gerais has the country's largest federal highway network.[33]
The city is also served by other minor roads such as state highways MG-020, MG-050, MG-030, and MG-433. There is also an East-West Express Way, which goes from the city to the nearby industrial centers of Contagem and Betim (together having a population of ca. 900,000), and Anel Rodoviário, a kind of "beltway" - indeed it is not circumferential, but connects many highways, such as the federal (BR-ones) so it is not necessary for a large number of cars and trucks to pass through the city center. Many of these roads are in poor condition, but in the last years many revitalization and rebuilding projects have been started.
The bus system has a large number of bus lines going through all parts in the city, and is administrated by BHTRANS. Among the upcoming projects are the expansion of the integration between bus lines and the metro, with integrated stations, many already in use. And the construction of bus corridors, with lanes and bus stops exclusively for the bus lines. Keeping buses from traffic congestions, making the trips more viable for commuters.
Belo Horizonte Metro or MetroBH started operating at the end of 1970s. There is one line, with 19 stations, from Vilarinho to Eldorado Station, in Contagem, transporting over 160,000 people daily. The current projects of expansion include Line 2, linking the existing Calafate Station to the region of Barreiro. And Line 3, from the city's main bus terminal to Savassi economical district. Line 2 is planned to be overground (similar to the current line) and Line 3 is planned to be underground, passing through the city's financial centre, Praça Sete and Afonso Pena Avenue. Also, Line 1 is planned to be extended to Novo Eldorado Station.[35]

Belo Horizonte has several significant cultural landmarks, many of them situated in the Pampulha district, where there are notable examples of Brazilian contemporary architecture. These include one of the largest soccer stadiums in the world, the Mineirão stadium, and the São Francisco de Assis Church, widely known as Igreja da Pampulha, designed by Brazilian Modernist architect Oscar Niemeyer. In Pampulha there is also the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais campus, whose buildings themselves are important contributions to the city's architecture. Other notable buildings include the Mesbla and Niemeyer buildings, in addition to the headquarters of corporations such as Usiminas, Seculus, and Telemig Celular.
In the downtown area, landmarks include the church of São José, the Praça da Estação (Station Square), which is an old train station that now is also the Museum of Arts and Workmanship, the Municipal Park, the famous Sete de Setembro Square, where an obelisk built in 1922 marks the one hundred years of Brazilian independence from Portugal.
Near Central the area, in the Lourdes neighborhood, the Lourdes Basilica, is an example of Gothic Revival style. The Nossa Senhora de Fátima Church, in Santo Agostinho neighborhood, is situated in Carlos Chagas Square. Both churches are referred to as the Assembléia Church and the Assembléia Square because of their proximity to the state's legislative assembly.
Next to the downtown region is the famous Savassi district, known for fine restaurants and as a center of cultural events as well as the best of the city's nightlife. Many landmarks are located there, such as the Praça da Liberdade (Liberty Square), and its surrounding buildings, including the former Executive Offices of the governor called the Palácio da Liberdade (Liberty Palace), the first building to be finished during the city's planned development in the late 1890s. The government offices moved to the "Cidade Administrativa" in 2010. This complex is made by a few massive buildings just outside the city. Nowadays, the "palaces" are being turned into museums. Still on Savassi, the meeting point of many social groups, especially the youth, is "Praça da Savassi" (Savassi Square), which is not exactly a square, and more a crossing between two major avenues (Getúlio Vargas and Cristóvão Colombo), and gathers some of the busiest bars and pubs (called locally "botecos" or "botequins")in town.
Another important landmark is Praça do Papa (Pope's Square), located at a high point south of the downtown area, with its great view of the entire city. It is named for the July 1st, 1980, visit by John Paul II, who held a youth mass there. The nearby Parque das Mangabeiras (Mangabeiras Park) features extensive wildlife, and-owing to its considerable size-has its own bus service, which operates solely within the confines of the park.
On Sundays, Afonso Pena Avenue hosts Latin America's biggest open-air market. This is the Market of Arts and Handicrafts, most commonly known as Feira Hippie (hippie fair). Every Sunday morning 70,000 visitors find food, drinks, clothes, furniture, earrings, shoes and almost anything else.[36]
A center for conservation and preservation of animals and plants it has also developed environmental education projects. The Zoo, which encompasses a total area of 1.4 million square meters, is located at the Foundation's headquarters and is regarded as one of the most complete in Latin America. It has a collection of close to 900 animals representing 200 species, from Brazil and other parts of the world, as well as the first public butterfly sanctuary in South America.
Pampulha Ecological Park is administered by the Zoo-Botanical Foundation of Belo Horizonte and was inaugurated in May 21 of 2004. It's 30 acres (12 ha) of green area that offers to the population and the tourists a permanent programming of environmental, cultural and patrimonial education.
The human development of Belo Horizonte varies greatly by locality, reflecting the city's spatial social inequality and vast socioeconomic inequalities. There are neighborhoods that had very high human development indexes in 2000 (equal to or greater than the indexes of some Scandinavian countries), but those in the lower range (in line with, for example, North Africa).[37]
Carmo/Sion (0.973): greater than Iceland - 0.968; Cruzeiro/Anchieta/Funcionários (0.970): greater than Iceland - 0.968; Grajau/Gutierrez (0.965): greater than Australia - 0.962; Belvedere/Mangabeiras/Comiteco (0.964): greater than Australia - 0.962; Serra/São Lucas (0.953): equal to Japan, Netherlands - 0.953.
In 1993, under mayor Patrus Ananias de Souza, the city started a series of innovations based on its citizens having the "right to food". These include, for example, creating farmers' markets in the town to enable direct sales and regularly surveying market prices and posting the results across the city.[38] The city's process of participatory budgeting was linked with these innovations, as a result of which the infant mortality rate was reduced by 50% in a decade.[39][40] There is some evidence that these programs have helped support a higher quality of life for the local farmers partnering with the city and that this may be having positive effects on biodiversity in the Atlantic rainforest around the city.[40][41] The city's development of these policies garnered the first "Future Policy Award" in 2009, awarded by the World Future Council, a group of 50 activists (including Frances Moore Lappé, Vandana Shiva, Wes Jackson, and Youssou N'Dour[42]) concerned with the development and recognition of policies to promote a just and sustainable future.
The city has undertaken an internationally heralded project called Vila Viva ("Living Village" in Portuguese) that promises to "urbanize" the poorest areas (favelas), relocating families from areas with high risk of floods and landslides but keeping them in the same neighborhood, paving main avenues to allow public transportation, police and postal service to have access. All the work is done with 80% of locals, reducing unemployment and increasing family income.[43][44] Former mayor Fernando da Mata Pimentel was nominated for World Mayor in 2005 on the strength of these and other programs.[43]
As in the rest of Brazil, football is the most popular sport among locals. Belo Horizonte has three professional football teams: América, Atlético Mineiro and Cruzeiro—the latter two are among Brazil's most popular clubs. The city also has one of the biggest football stadiums in the world, the Mineirão, which opened in 1965. The older Independência Stadium was the site of a legendary World Cup victory in 1950, when the United States beat England in a 1–0 win.[45]
Mineirão, officially called Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto, was built to provide the city of Belo Horizonte with a larger alternative for Estádio Independência, then the prime venue of the city. The stadium was meant to become the most modern stadium of Brazil and the new home of Atlético Mineiro and Cruzeiro. Construction took almost five years, and on the 5th of September 1965 Mineirão officially opened. Mineirão hardly changed in the following decades, and in the 1990s still had its original capacity. When Brazil won their bid to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup, it was clear that Mineirão needed to undergo a large redevelopment.
The project included the complete reconstruction of the bottom tier, an extension of the roof, and further refurbishments to upgrade the stadium to FIFA standards. Building works took a total of three years, and were completed in December 2012. The first match at the reopened Mineirão was played on the 3rd of February 2013 with a friendly derby between Atlético and Cruzeiro. While Cruzeiro agreed on a lease to play the next 25 years at Mineirão, Atlético have not yet come to an agreement and will keep playing at Estádio Independência until doing so. It is currently unlikely that they will move back to Mineirão before 2014. Mineirão is scheduled to host a total of six matches during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which include one round of 16 match and one semi-final. The stadium also was one of the playing venues of the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup.[46]
In addition to football, Belo Horizonte has one of the largest attendances at volleyball matches in the entire country. They are played either at Mineirinho, home of Brazil's national volleyball team, or at Minas Tênis Clube.

Comments On Mar 11, 2014:I ride from sand, to hard pack to rocks and this tire has held up the best and has really good feel. Its my go-to tire

Comments On Mar 06, 2014:LOVE these tires, they wear like iron!!! We ride in desert terrain where it goes from sand, to rock, to muddy stream beds, to hard pack dirt, constantly and this tires works the best compared to others that have been put up to the test. Very versatile tire. And the price is more than fair.

Comments On Mar 03, 2014:Hands down the best desert tire out there that I have rode. Great hook up, reliable, durable. If your looking for a good desert tire that can take a beating the Maxxis desert is the way to go.

Comments On Feb 27, 2014:I ran my first Maxxis Desert IT 4 years ago when I moved to Colorado and I have never looked back. It holds up well in the rocky terrain out here and doesn't lose complete knobs like other tires. I go through 1 a year but I'd say thats pretty good for riding a 450 over jagged rocks all season. Also, I've always liked the look of the yellow MAXXIS logo on the sidewall.

Comments On Jan 03, 2014:My riding style is fire roads and open desert trail riding, very agressive. I have used the D606 before this tire and it never hooked up very well. This tire is much better in the desert. I got about 1000 miles out of it, but probably 200-250 were on the paved road which worn it down Very fast. I would buy again.

Comments On Jan 02, 2014:Living in the Western CO desert we experience harsh sharp rock, sand, loamy dirt (after a rain) and baked burned hardpack soil. Its brutal on tires. Knobs on most tires fly off after only a few rides. The Maxxis desert IT is our GO TO tire for these conditions. Really long lasting, no knob shedding until the tire is completely worn out, and they'll give you great confidence on sharp edges due to the strong sidewall. I got a full year's use out of them riding them almost every weekend. (A class racer, but mostly a weekend warrior these days)

Comments On Dec 29, 2013:For the trails I ride (rocky singletrack, slickrock, some sand, some soft single track) this is by far the strongest and most durable tire I have found. Way less flats, longer time between changes, etc. Won't buy any other rear. The front is okay too. A royal pain to put on though.

Best whole-grain pastas 10/12
(This article is adapted from the October 2012
Consumer Reports
To find out if higher fiber pastas actually taste good,
Consumer Reports
trained tasters sampled 13 such good-for-you spaghettis,
Taste test results
Among whole-grain pastas, the two rated "Very Good" were store brands:
Whole Foods
Trader Joe's
. They both tasted sweet and nutty, with a good, chewy texture. The Whole Foods pasta had slightly fewer calories per cup.
Other pasta choices lost points for, among other issues, crumbly texture and cardboard-like flavor. The tasters tried the lower-rated brands with tomato sauce to see whether it masked their faults. It didn't.
Nutritional value
Most of the spaghettis earned a nutrition score of "Very Good" or "Good," based on calories per gram, fats, sodium, sugars, iron, calcium, and fiber. Almost all have more fiber than regular spaghetti—5 or 6 grams per 1-cup serving (cooked), vs. about 2 grams for regular spaghetti.
The recommended daily value for fiber is about 25 grams for a person eating 2,000 calories per day. Just keep in mind that 1 cup of pasta isn't much. Scarf down the contents of a big bowl, and you'll consume far more calories than advertised.
What "whole grain" means
Whole grains contain 100 percent of the original kernel—bran, germ, and innermost part (endosperm). Whole wheat is just one type of whole grain. (Other types include oatmeal, millet, or brown rice.) For all the grains you eat in a day, according to Department of Agriculture guidelines, half should be whole. Eating whole grains regularly may help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. To find whole-grain products, look for "whole grain" as one of the first listed ingredients on the label.
Bottom line
No pasta is pricey, but whole-wheat and added-nutrient types tend to cost a bit more than the regular type. But Trader Joe's at 17 cents a serving was one of the least expensive pastas tested.

Schubert: The Songmakers' Almanac Schubertiade
2CDs Dyad (2 for the price of 1) — Archive Service
At the end of 1816 the greatest Mayrhofer songs were still to come as far as Schubert was concerned. He had already set nine of the poems to music, but he had not yet embarked upon the sequence of poems inspired by the Greek classics that stand at the centre of the Schubert/Mayrhofer collaboration. It is there that we find the great Mayrhofer songs, and although the composer had known the poet since 1814 it took some time for Schubert (younger by ten years) to understand what was new and extraordinary about his friend's work. This song implies a social side of the poet which, in terms of his day-to-day behaviour, became less and less usual as the years went on. Someone less likely to join in a light-hearted sing-song could not be imagined and, if he were to do so, there would be something lugubrious about his vocal contribution. When we look deeper into the text this mood is exactly what we find: instead of real merrymaking we find that type of escapist philosophy that is the result of too much introspection when the singer is in his cups.
The music, marked 'Feurig' ('fiery'), is full of weighty unisons between voice and piano, as well as piano interludes consisting of hearty staccato octaves supported by muscular left-hand chords thick with fistfuls of notes. The key of D minor is rather a serious one for a drinking-song (it has something of the grimness of Don Giovanni's final feast about it) although there is a possibility that the composer has allowed himself a touch of humour with a phrased jump of a fifth in the right-hand piano part which might well be taken to depict an inebriated hiccup. Otherwise one can see how Schubert already equates the poet's philosophy with one of tough masculine endeavour in the manner of the ancient Greeks. Indeed, the 'old times' referred to by the poet suggest a typically Mayrhofian longing for the athletic and manly world of antiquity when punch was not yet invented and, without a trace of effeminacy or guilt, the names of male lovers were traced with the finger in the sediment – the 'last of the wine'. (This oblique reference to Mary Renault's novel is not inappropriate; Mayrhofer would have almost certainly approved of that writer's imaginative journeys into the Greek past, and her linking of homosexuality with the highest moral standards. Mayrhofer, too, attempted to conjure up the classical Zeitgeist for the benefit and edification of the modern reader and, one suspects, for the comfort of the outcast.)
Although the song appears in Breitkopf and Peters as a solo, the first draft of the manuscript seems to have been headed 'Chor', as if Schubert had at first envisaged the work as a chorus. As this does not appear in a later copy the performance recorded here is a compromise between the two ideas: part of the strophe is presented as a solo for baritone, part as a chorus. There are tiny differences between the piano interludes in Peters and Breitkopf, particularly in the tessitura of the piano writing at the end of the strophe. In the heady spirit of punch-drunk party improvisation I have taken the liberty of including features from both versions, although this would scarcely be noticeable to anyone without scouring the two scores.

Gallery to exhibit works by Pamela Chase Newell
Huntington, Ind.—Huntington University's Robert E. Wilson Gallery will feature works by award-winning Indiana artist Pamela Chase Newell from Oct. 15 to Nov. 14. The exhibit will include luminous oil and pastel paintings of landscapes, gardens and still-life pieces.
"I paint the transient light and color that captivates me and hope the moment portrayed touches the heart of the viewer," Chase Newell said in her artist statement.
The gallery will host an artist reception for Chase Newell at 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 23.
The Robert E. Wilson Gallery is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., before and after all Merillat Centre for the Arts performances, and by appointment. For further information, contact Gallery Director Susan Yee at (260) 359-4331 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Specializing in impressionistic style paintings of landscapes, gardens, and still life, Pamela Chase Newell's expressive work reflects a love of gardening (as an Advanced Master Gardener), landscapes and nature. She works in pure pastel, pastel over water media, and oil. The Fishers artist is a workshop instructor, a faculty member of the Indianapolis Art Center, and also teaches at the Hamilton County Art Center.
Chase Newell received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. She continued her study at the Indianapolis Art Center. She also has studied with Ron Mack, Dan Woodson, Bob Eberle, Todd Reifers, noted American Impressionist C.W. Mundy, and most recently David Slonim.
Chase Newell's luminous colorful paintings have been selected for numerous exhibits including the Hoosier Salon where she has exhibited for 13 years, Indiana Heritage Arts, Indiana Artists Club, Minnetrista ("Art about the Land"), the Cincinnati Art Club ("ViewPoint"), National Juried Art Competition, and the Chicago Pastel Painters National Juried Exhibition. She has had work selected for many solo shows. The Richmond Art Museum selected her paintings in 2008 for an invitational exhibit showcasing pastels by 13 award-winning artists from Indiana and Ohio. In 2007, she exhibited in a collaborative solo show with the Smithsonian Institute at the Sullivan Munce Cultural Center in Zionsville. Chase Newell was the featured artist in the 2007 January/February edition of Fishers/Geist Magazine.
Galleries include The Hoosier Salon, Brown County Art Guild and Originals. Her work is held in many private and corporate collections and also may be viewed by appointment at her studio or on her Web site.

Check out what these apartments offer you and your family, and hopefully here you can find the right Grandview apartment that you and your cat can call home.

The Cadillacs
Earl Carroll, LaVerne Drake, and Robert Phillips were already singing together in the early '50s as the Carnations, whose lineup also included "Cub" Gaining. Carroll and Phillips were nearly as close as brothers, Carroll having been taken in by Phillips' family after the death of his own mother. The group -- based in New York's Harlem in the area around 131st St. and Seventh and Eighth Avenues -- had an energetic approach to music, but somewhat threadbare harmonies, and they were popular at dances held at the local public school they all attended. Their main influence was the Orioles, whose slow romantic numbers went over very well with the group members and the audiences of the period. Carroll's own musical roots included gospel, specifically the Five Blind Boys, the Swanee Quintet, and the Soul Stirrers, but also R&B vocal outfits such as the Clovers, the Ravens, the Swallows, and the Five Keys.

An Excerpt from Who Was Sally Ride?
In 1978, Sally Ride, a PhD candidate at Standford University, responded to a newspaper ad to join the US astronaut program. She was accepted and became the first American woman astronaut to fly in space! Among her other accomplishments, she played tennis like a professional, was an astrophysicist who helped develop a robotic arm for space shuttles, and later, through Sally Ride Science, worked to make science cool and accessible for girls. Sally Ride, who died on July 23, 2012, will continue to inspire young children. |

McComb could be the site of a new Dollar General store. The Courier reports the village council talked about the potential development during last night's meeting. First reading was given on an ordinance that would rezone a parcel of land off of State Route 186 from agricultural to general business. There's no word on when a new store could potentially open. A public hearing on the issue has been set for May 13 at 6 p.m. at the municipal building.

Half-baked times fourPosted Friday, November 12, 2010, at 2:24 PM
For our T-G Thanksgiving meal, the company is providing the entree but there's a sign-up list for us to bring side dishes.
I had no idea what to bring yet, but I like to cook and I'm sure I'll bring something, so I wrote "TBA." One of my smart-aleck co-workers, who has yet to be identified, wrote "twice-baked artichokes" out beside it. Actually, twice-baked artichokes sound pretty good, if there is such a thing. I love steaming an artichoke and dipping the tender parts of the leaves in Italian dressing (or, even better, melted butter). But it doesn't sound like it would be a good potluck dish. Nobody wants a whole artichoke at a potluck; it would take up two-thirds of the plate. Maybe TBA stands for Tepid Beans Again. Or Tinned Baby Anchovies. Or Turnips, Boiled Aggressively. We won't know for sure until Thursday. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |

Navajo Irrigation Project
By KRWG News
New Mexico – An Arizona company has won a $13 million contract to build two pumping plants in northwestern New Mexico as part of the Navajo Indian Irrigation Project.
The pumping plants are key to the project, which will provide water for the Navajo Nation's farming enterprise.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced the contract with Archer Western Contractors, Ltd., on Wednesday.
The Phoenix firm will construct the pumping plants over a two-year period. The contract covers construction of the buildings, electronic operating controls and installation of the pumps.
The pumping plants are scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2011.

Wineries & Wine
In Oregon, winemakers are farmers, and they get really stoked when talking about soil. They're also passionate about drainage, heat indexes, and microclimates. But whether you're sampling pinot and chardonnay in the Willamette Valley or cabernet and merlot in the Gorge, you'll notice one thing: They all taste like Oregon.

If I could predict when harvest would be, I'd be a rich man ;-) In all seriousness though, harvest typically happens sometime between September and October every year.

There's a reason MSU was named "Best School" of the first decade of the 21st century by Sports Illustrated writer Seth Davis. Actually, there are lots of them.
Start with our heroic men's basketball team, which has been to the Final Four six times in 13 years, and a women's basketball team that finished a stellar season by winning its first all-out Big Ten championship title in 2010–11.
And if you've never experienced a Midwest earthquake, just wait until you're in Spartan Stadium with 76,000 die-hard football fans shouting, "HAROO! HAROO! HAROO!" The Spartans answered that call, winning the Big Ten Legends Division in 2011 and the Outback Bowl in 2012.
Every day, men and women of all abilities demonstrate athleticism, leadership, commitment, and collaboration in 25 varsity sports, adaptive sports, and many club and intramural teams.
For decades, MSU's athletes have proven the keys to winning are hard work and teamwork. Just ask the hundreds of thousands of Spartan fans who proudly claim they bleed green.

Fans of patience will love waiting for Capsule to load and then solving all the puzzles and escaping. Haters of patience will probably be convinced that the game won't even load... (it really does take a while) [subbed by subzero].

There appears to be a three month time limit on defamation suits against newspapers in Alberta. Tim Ball may have filed too late.
... we have it on good authority that notice was served well within the allowable time limit.
Richard, was there timely service on the newspaper as that may be a different case than for Johnson, or was there an earlier service of notice?
... i.e. the pro forma threatening letter, was sent to both parties - in response to which the Herald wrote the clarification crediting Ball with 50+ "publications."

Tim Ball's attempt to muzzle Dan Johnson through his law suit is truly appalling. After reading Mr. Ball's op-ed piece, it is anything but academic and scholarly. Rather, he mudslings aways against scientists like Dr. David Suzuki. Then, when Dan Johnson writes a polite letter correcting the inacurracies in the piece, he gets sued. Doest doth protesteth too much, methinks. What's scary is that burying a critic with expensive litigation is a tried and true technique for stifling freedom of speech. What's heartening is that somebody must feel desperrate for the oil industry to take this rather extreme step.And I wonder who is footing the legal bills which will soon be paid to Fraser Milner Casgraine for this exercise?
Dear Richard
thanks for adding the link, which clarifies what the action is about. It seems there is the basis for a proceeding there, and Prof Johnson will no doubt be getting advice from his lawyers about whether he has to contemplate the possibility of a serious financial loss.
I am assuming that you are in canada, and let me just say how brave of you it is to leave up your post entitled, "Tim Ball: Wilful Disregard for the Truth".
Welcome Per; hope the ride over from Tim Lambert's Deltoid blog wasn't too bumpy.
Also, nice of you to compliment us on courage. You inspired me to go back and reread that post more carefully, and I am embarrassed to find three (3!) typos (which I declined to fix so that other readers can be assure that they are seeing unvarnish and - woefully - unedited work). But other than a "continue" that should have been "continuing to," a "his" that should have been a "he" and a misplaced bracket, I couldn't see anything else wrong.
Perhaps I'm missing something. Or perhaps you are ....
I had a quick read over the statement of claim and the attachments. Ball takes issue with the term "entry-level PhD" item #11(b).
But I wonder if it could be interpreted differently? Is the author really saying that an entry-level (or minimum) requirement to become an assistant professor is a PhD?
Here's his full sentence:
"He did not even have an entry-level PhD until 1983, which would have allowed even assistant professor status."
