Biography Wikipedia
Inside Llewyn Davis is a 2013 American comedy-drama film written, directed and edited by Joel and Ethan Coen. It was produced by Scott Rudin, Ethan and Joel Coen. Set in 1961, the film stars Oscar Isaac in the title role as a New York City folk singer, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund, F. Murray Abraham, and Justin Timberlake. The film follows one week in the life of Llewyn Davis, a folk singer struggling to achieve musical success while keeping his life in order.
Although Davis is a fictional character, the story was partly inspired by the autobiography of folk singer Dave Van Ronk. Most of the folk songs performed in the film are sung in full and recorded live. T Bone Burnett was the executive music producer.
The film won the Grand Prix at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, where it screened on May 19, 2013. It received a limited release in the United States on December 6, 2013, and was given a wide release on January 10, 2014. It received critical acclaim and was nominated for two Academy Awards, Best Cinematography and Best Sound Mixing, and for the Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical, Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for Isaac, and Best Original Song.^ "Inside Llewyn Davis (2012)".

In February 1961, Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) is a struggling folk singer in New York City's Greenwich Village. His musical partner, Mike Timlin, has committed suicide; his recent solo album Inside Llewyn Davis is not selling; he has no money and is sleeping on the couches of friends and acquaintances.
Llewyn wakes up in the apartment of two of his older friends, the Gorfeins. When he leaves, the Gorfeins' cat escapes. Llewyn takes the cat to the apartment of Jim (Justin Timberlake) and Jean (Carey Mulligan) Berkey. Jean tells Llewyn she is pregnant. The next morning, the Gorfeins' cat escapes again. Later Jean, fearing that Llewyn may be the father, asks him to pay for an abortion.
On Jim's invitation, Llewyn, as part of the "John Glenn Singers", records a novelty song with Jim and Al Cody (Adam Driver). Needing money immediately, Llewyn agrees to $200 with no royalties. At the gynecologist's office, Llewyn sets up Jean's appointment and discovers that a previous girlfriend, whose abortion he also paid for, decided to keep the baby and moved to Akron without telling him.
While eating with Jean, Llewyn spots what he believes to be the Gorfeins' cat and returns it that evening. Asked to play after dinner, he reluctantly performs "Fare Thee Well", a song he had recorded with Mike. When Mrs. Gorfein starts to sing Mike's harmony, Llewyn yells at her. Mrs. Gorfein leaves the table crying, then returns with the cat, having realized that it is not theirs. Llewyn leaves with the cat.
Llewyn rides with two musicians driving to Chicago: the laconic beat poet Johnny Five (Garrett Hedlund) and the odious jazz musician Roland Turner (John Goodman). At a roadside restaurant, Roland collapses from a heroin overdose. The three stop on the side of the highway to rest. When a police officer tells them to move on, Johnny resists and is arrested. Without the keys, Llewyn abandons the car, leaving the cat and the unconscious Roland behind. In Chicago, Llewyn auditions for Bud Grossman (F. Murray Abraham). Grossman says Llewyn is not suited to be a solo performer but suggests he might incorporate him in a new trio he is forming. Llewyn rejects the offer and hitchhikes back to New York. Driving, he hits what he fears may be the same cat.
In New York, he pays $148 in back dues to rejoin the merchant marine union, and visits his ailing father. Llewyn searches for his seaman's license so he can ship out with the merchant marine, but his sister has thrown it out. Llewyn apologizes to Jean for everything and she tells him she got him a gig at the Gaslight. At the Gaslight, Pappi claims he had sex with Jean. Llewyn heckles a woman as she performs. He goes to the Gorfeins' apartment, where they graciously welcome him. He is amazed to see that their actual cat, Ulysses, has found his way home.
Llewyn performs at the Gaslight. Pappi teases him about his heckling the previous evening and tells him that a friend of his is waiting outside. Behind the Gaslight, Llewyn is beaten by a shadowy suited man for heckling his wife, the previous night's performer. Llewyn watches as the man leaves in a taxi.

Set in 1961, Inside Llewyn Davis was inspired by the cultural disconnection within a New York–based music scene where the songs seemed to come from all parts of the United States except New York, but whose performers included Brooklyn-born Dave Van Ronk and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. Well before writing the script, the Coens began with a single premise: suppose Van Ronk got beat up outside of Gerde's Folk City in the Village. The filmmakers employed that idea in the opening scenes, then periodically returned to the project over the next couple of years to expand the story around a fictional character. One source for the film was Van Ronk's posthumously published (2005) memoir, The Mayor of MacDougal Street. According to the book's co-author, Elijah Wald, the Coens mined the work "for local color and a few scenes." The character is a composite of Van Ronk, Elliot, and other performers from the New York boroughs who performed in the Village at that time. Joel Coen remarked that "the film doesn't really have a plot. That concerned us at one point; that's why we threw the cat in."
Shooting was complicated by an early New York spring, which interfered with the bleak winter atmosphere that prevails throughout the film, and by the difficulty of filming several cats, who, unlike dogs, ignore the desires of filmmakers. On the advice of an animal trainer, the Coens put out a casting call for an orange tabby cat, which is sufficiently common that several cats would be available to play one part. Individual cats were then selected for each scene based on what they were predisposed to do on their own.
Producer Scott Rudin, who worked with the Coens on True Grit and No Country for Old Men, collaborated on the project. StudioCanal helped finance it without an American distributor in place. "After shooting in New York City and elsewhere last year...the brothers finished the movie at their own pace", wrote Michael Cieply in a January 2013 The New York Times interview with Joel Coen ahead of a private, pre-Grammys screening in Los Angeles. "They could have rushed it into the Oscar season but didn't." On February 19, CBS Films announced it had picked up the U.S. domestic distribution rights for about $4 million. StudioCanal has rights to international distribution and foreign sales.
Music[edit]See also: Inside Llewyn Davis (soundtrack)
Dave Van Ronk's music served as a starting point for the Coens as they wrote the script, and many of the songs first designated for the film were those he had recorded. Van Ronk co-author Elijah Wald said that the character of Llewyn Davis "is not at all Dave, but the music is." (The cover of Davis's solo album, Inside Llewyn Davis, resembles that of Inside Dave Van Ronk. Both feature the artist in a doorway, wearing a tweed jacket and smoking a cigarette.) Other songs emerged in conversations between the Coens and T-Bone Burnett, who produced the music in association with Marcus Mumford. Burnett previously worked with the Coens on the music and soundtrack for The Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the latter of which sold about 8 million copies in the United States. The Coens viewed the music in the Llewyn Davis as a direct descendant of the music in O Brother.
The humorous novelty song "Please Mr. Kennedy", a plea from a reluctant astronaut, appears to be a fourth generation derivative of the 1960 song "Mr. Custer", also known as "Please Mr. Custer", about the Battle of the Little Bighorn, sung by Larry Verne and written by Al DeLory, Fred Darian, and Joseph Van Winkle. A Tamla-Motown single followed in 1961: "Please Mr. Kennedy (I Don't Want to Go)", a plea from a reluctant Vietnam War draftee, sung by Mickey Woods and credited to Berry Gordy, Loucye Wakefield and Ronald Wakefield. In 1962 using a similar theme, The Goldcoast Singers recorded "Please Mr. Kennedy" on its Here They Are album, with writing credits to Ed Rush and George Cromarty. The Llewyn Davis version credits Rush, Cromarty, Burnett, Timberlake, and the Coens.
Isaac, Timberlake, Mulligan, Driver and others performed the music live. The exception was "The Auld Triangle", which was lip-synced, with Timberlake singing bass. (Timberlake's vocal range was on display in the film. Critic Janet Maslin, listening to a soundtrack recording, confused Timberlake's voice with Mulligan's, which she thought resembled that of Mary Travers.)^ "The Coen Bros.

Inside Llewyn Davis had its worldwide premiere on May 19, 2013 at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. The film then screened at film festivals, including the New York Film Festival in September, the November 14 close of the 2013 AFI Film Festival, and Torino Film Festival 2013, also in November.
The film had a limited release in the United States on December 6, 2013, where it played in Los Angeles and New York. It opened in 133 additional theaters on December 20 and opened wide on January 10, 2014.
It was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the US on March 11, 2014.
Critical reception[edit]
Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 94% rating based on 235 reviews, with an average score of 8.6/10. The site's consensus states: "Smart, funny, and profoundly melancholy, Inside Llewyn Davis finds the Coen brothers in fine form." On Metacritic, the film has a score of 92 out of 100, based on 47 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".
Writing for The Village Voice, Alan Scherstuhl praised the Coen brothers' film: "While often funny and alive with winning performances, Inside Llewyn Davis finds the brothers in a dark mood, exploring the near-inevitable disappointment that faces artists too sincere to compromise--disappointments that the Coens, to their credit, have made a career out of dodging. The result is their most affecting film since the masterful A Serious Man." Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter called the film "an outstanding fictional take on the early 1960s folk music scene," praising the "fresh, resonant folk soundtrack" and Oscar Isaac's performance that "deftly manages the task of making Llewyn compulsively watchable."
Folk singers, however, have criticized the movie for misrepresenting the friendliness of the Village folk scene of the time. Terri Thal, Dave Van Ronk's ex-wife, said, "I didn't expect it to be almost unrecognizable as the folk-music world of the early 1960s." Suzanne Vega said "I feel they took a vibrant, crackling, competitive, romantic, communal, crazy, drunken, brawling scene and crumpled it into a slow brown sad movie." The movie was also criticized for the fact that, although it was to some extent based on the memoir of Dave Van Ronk, the film portrayed a character very much at odds with the real Van Ronk, usually described as a "nice guy". However, at a press interview before the film was premiered at Cannes, the Coens had stated that the character itself was very much an original creation, and that the music was the major influence they'd drawn from Van Ronk.

Threat of Coastal Erosion Leaves Many On Edge
Communities grapple with who is responsible for protecting roads and property
By MONICA ALLARD COX/ecoRI News contributor
Florida's Highway A1A runs along the Atlantic coast, in some cases on a narrow strip of barrier beach, from the state's northern border all the way to Key West. In St. Johns County, a portion of the road was prone to washouts during hurricanes, and in 1979, the state moved the road further from the coast and gave ownership of a 1.6-mile stretch of road to the county.
Despite already having a 25-year history of erosion in 1979, adjacent properties continued to be developed. The county struggled to maintain the road for several years, when a storm turned the middle segment of it into a beach, cutting the road in half. In 2004, a hurricane washed away the southernmost portion of the road. The county even built a $1 million berm to protect the road, but it, too, soon washed away.
Residents eventually sued the county for failing to maintain the road and preventing them access to their homes. Could Rhode Island face such a scenario?
Last October's post-tropical cyclone Sandy destroyed homes in Matunuck, in some cases despite expensive revetments designed to protect them, according to Janet Freedman, coastal geologist for the Coastal Resources Management Council (CRMC). Misquamicut suffered heavy damages, as did Narragansett's Coast Guard House restaurant and the town's seawall.
Still, Rhode Island's barrier beaches are relatively undeveloped, Freedman said, thanks in part to hurricanes that hit the state in 1938 and 1954. "A lot of those areas were bought by the state and are now under CRMC jurisdiction," Freedman said, noting that development of barriers is now prohibited. "There are still a lot of private holdings, but they're not allowed to be redeveloped."
Nevertheless, there are some areas in Rhode Island where disputes over measures to deal with an eroding coastline have arisen among municipalities, home and business owners, environmental advocates, and the state.
Beyond seawalls
South Kingstown's Matunuck Beach Road has faced increasing threats from erosion. In 2011, the town requested that the CRMC permit the building of a seawall to protect the road, which serves as the only access for 250 homes. A water pipe serving some 1,600 customers also runs under the road.
The CRMC initially denied the permit, which critics said could destroy the beach adjacent to the wall, along with area properties and businesses such as the Ocean Mist bar. One lawyer compared the enormity of the wall that would have been required to effectively combat erosion as akin to building the Great Wall of China.
In a memorandum to the council, CRMC executive director Grover Fugate called for the construction of a temporary sheet-pile wall as a "stop gap" to protect the health and safety of the area's residents. In the meantime, he proposed that the CRMC could work with the town on more effective long-term strategies that would protect both the road and the beach. The council relented, and the CRMC developed draft regulations for experimental coastal erosion control methods, such as geomattresses that dissipate wave action, to be tested in Matunuck and Westerly.
These measures will be part of a larger Beach Special Area Management Plan (Beach SAMP) the CRMC is initiating with assistance from the University of Rhode Island, the URI Coastal Resources Center and Rhode Island Sea Grant that will look at erosion hot spots all along the state's shoreline.
What isn't likely to be a major focus of the plan are seawalls, which, according to Freedman, offer limited protection from storms and erosion.
"People have a false sense of safety if they have a seawall," she said. "If shoreline structures were built to specifications that would actually protect properties in a hurricane, they would be prohibitively expensive, no one would see the coast because they would be so high, and they'd have to extend onto public lands."
That issue of ownership has been a contentious one in Massachusetts, Freedman said, citing a case of a seawall that private property owners can't afford to maintain and are seeking to have the municipality take on that responsibility.
In Misquamicut during Sandy, "dunes and setbacks worked much better" than many of the revetments, Freedman said. Still, setbacks and prohibitions against development mean that some areas that might have been developed as homes or hotels remain vacant.
"Most coastal communities generate a lot of money from their coasts — it's a big property tax base," Freedman said. "Coastal communities have to balance a lot of things, and it's not easy."
Florida problems remain
In Florida earlier this year, St. Johns County and the residents came to a settlement that the county will make a good-faith effort to maintain the road "as is." With so many low-lying coastal areas in Florida, however, Thomas Ruppert, coastal community outreach coordinator for Florida Sea Grant, said the pressures on his state's seaside property owners from erosion, flooding and hurricane damage are increasing.
Changes to flood maps and increases to National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) premiums are "causing people to lose their homes already, and it's just getting started," he said. Ruppert described the story of one couple who gave up their home when their flood insurance rates increased by $1,000 a month.
"It's especially hard in these poor, rural areas," he said. Still, he noted that, "the public does not have the money to protect all private property owners and guarantee that they will not be harmed by coastal hazards."
Ruppert, a lawyer, cited a Florida study that showed most people who bought homes in high-erosion coastal zones were often unaware of coastal hazards and development restrictions affecting their properties, despite a requirement that they be notified at the time of purchase.
That notice may be buried in the "big stack of paper" buyers sign at a closing; "you'll be there for hours if you read through every page," Ruppert said, noting that with having a real-estate agent and a lawyer helping them through the purchase, many buyers may feel that "if it were a problem, somebody would tell me, right?"
Ruppert called for "meaningful disclosure" so that those buying homes in highly eroding areas "will do it with open eyes."
More than 30 years ago, Ruppert said, local governments in Florida avoided lawsuits by allowing property owners to develop their land, even in threatened areas. Now, he warned governments may face more economic and legal liability if they do allow development in hazardous areas.
While some Florida communities have been reluctant to recognize the threats exacerbated by climate change and sea-level rise, and resistant to government regulation of their property, Ruppert hopes to use the NFIP as a "lever" for working with local communities to reduce their flooding risks. This may lower a town homeowners' flood insurance rates through the Community Rating System program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He also is approaching local business owners, who, he hopes will be receptive to measures that adapt to natural hazards.
It's important, he said, "to at least start that conversation."
Monica Allard Cox is the communications director for Rhode Island Sea Grant. This story originally appeared in the Summer/Fall 2013 edition of 41°N, a publication of Rhode Island Sea Grant and the Coastal Institute at the University of Rhode Island.

Summer is one busy time for Gilbert teacher Larry Dexter. It's the time of year when the teacher becomes the student.
The Canyon Valley High School educator will participate in no fewer than five national social studies fellowships in June and July. Most of the fellowships — four of five — will focus on Dexter's passion, the American Revolution.
With his studies, he will have access to historical documents, including legal documents, diaries and wills.
"These types of documents are normally stored in museum vaults and seldom seen. Known as 'primary sources,' they often tell the story of the brave men and women who were willing to sacrifice everything for our independence," Dexter said.
We have no doubt Dexter will receive an 'A' for all his hard work.
A.J. student wins ROTC scholarship
Not only did the Apache Junction High School Navy Junior ROTC unit claim a "distinguished unit award" for the seventh consecutive year this spring, but a recent graduate received some accolades too.
Cadet Derek Dorman has been awarded a full, four-year Naval ROTC scholarship to the University of New Mexico. The scholarship pays up to $180,000 for tuition, books and fees and provides a monthly living stipend.
Dorman graduated in May, and served as cadet commanding officer of the school's NJROTC unit for the 2011-2012 school year.
When he finishes his degree, Dorman will be commissioned as an officer in the United States Navy.
Congrats, Cadet Dorman.
City seeks college completion projects
Mesa's drive to get more kids attending — and succeeding — in college is a group effort between the city, Mesa Unified School District and Mesa Community College.
Now, more ideas are being sought.
Grants of up to $7,500 will be awarded to projects that can show marked increases in college completion among Mesa's low-income youth. Grant applications are online at www.mesacountsoncollege.org/innovation and are due June 22.
Individuals and nonprofit organizations in Arizona, including schools and government groups, are welcome to participate.
The call for innovation proposals is offered by Mesa Counts on College, the partnership initiative funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

I believe that exit for AKL only has AK and AKL on it, so once you get off at that exit the chances are that they'll know where they're going and the excitement can start! If the exit does have another resort listed (I don't remember that being the case when I was at AKL, but I could be wrong), they'll still have to guess - but you pass the AK entrance to get to the AKL entrance so it will be pretty obvious!
You could not say anything, pull up to AKL, and when the guard asks why you're there, you just say "checking in". There's a surprise!
You could also consider getting an ADR for one of the AKL restaurants for your arrival day, and then tell them that you're running late and need to go straight there. If the time seems inconvenient, you could say that it was the only ADR they had and you really wanted to try zebra domes. Then you could tell them when you got to AKL ("Grab your bags, we're checking in instead!"), or during lunch/dinner ("What do you guys say we just stay here?"), or after eating ("I've decided we're not leaving!"), or you could suggest going out to look at the animals (before or after eating) and check in then and surprise them apart from the meal.
You could even get up to use the bathroom, go check in, and then simply come back and lay the room keys on the table without saying a word. They'll pick them up and see their names on them.
You could tell them you have a surprise for them but you have to "stop by AKL to get it". The surprise could be the room keys.
You could always tell the wife if she can keep a secret, and she can be in on it with you. She could suggest going to AKL first and you could agree and head that direction, or she could say she wants some zebra domes and you could agree to stop there first.

I have been trying to find some reviews on this tire without much luck. I had 2 of the 29-3 2.0 tires go bad and Bontrager replaced the first one with another 2.0, but when it bubbled up I asked for something different. This is what I got so I don't know whether to try it or sell it and get something else.
Right now I have the 29-3 2.25 Team Issue tlr on front and a WTB Exiwolf on the rear and that is a pretty nice combo for me. I am in NW Ga and with winter around the corner it gets wet and stays wet so I think I would like to replace the Exiwolf, because they really don't clear mudd at all.
I also have another 29-3 2.25 I am considering for a rear tire. By the way I am riding a Trek HiFi deluxe 2011.
Thanks for any input you can provide or if you can point me in the right direction.

LA Films Critics Includes Three Ties Among Its Year-End Awards
Where's Joe Biden when you need him?
The L.A. Film Critics Association (LAFCA) obviously needs another member since it included three ties among its year-end awards, including best picture. And that's without runners up. They were announced yesterday.
Here are the winners:
Picture: "Gravity" and "Her" (TIE)
Director: Alfonso Cuaron, "Gravity"
Actor: Bruce Dern, "Nebraska"
Actress: Cate Blanchett, "Blue Jasmine," and Adele Exarchopoulos, "Blue Is the Warmest Color" (TIE)
Supporting actor: James Franco, "Spring Breakers," and Jared Leto, "Dallas Buyers Club" (TIE)
Supporting actress: Lupita Nyong'o, "12 Years a Slave"
Screenplay: Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, "Before Midnight"
Foreign-language film: "Blue Is the Warmest Color"
Documentary/nonfiction film: "Stories We Tell"
Animation: "Ernest & Celestine"
Cinematography: Emmanuel Lubezki, "Gravity"
Film editing: Alfonso Cuaron and Mark Sanger, "Gravity"
Production design: K.K. Barrett, "Her"
Music score: T Bone Burnett, "Inside Llewyn Davis"
- Despite the split vote, "Gravity" is the obvious winner, since it won three other awards, too. Thoughts:
- "Stories We Tell" again? It's a fine doc but not so fine that it wins every time. This is getting boring already.
- Linklater, Delpy and Hawke for best screenplay? I'm sorry but that's one overrated movie.
- They're making me watch "Spring Breakers." Damn them.
- I like Dern in "Nebraska" fine but I'd still go McConaughey in "Dallas Buyers Club."
- The actress category is the toughest in years. Those two plus Judi Dench in "Philomena."
- "Her" hasn't come out yet here but "Gravity"? A great spectacle, a fine action fllick, but otherwise ...
The count so far from three critics groups: "Her" (1.5), "American Hustle" (1), "Gravity (.5). And we're just getting started.
"Gravity" holds: Four awards, including half a best pic.

Mitel Announces New Technical Accreditation Program For Channel
PHOENIX, Feb. 7, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mitel (Nasdaq:MITL), a leading provider of unified communications (UC) software solutions, today announced its new Technical Accreditation Program (TAP). TAP is a comprehensive multi-vendor certification program for Mitel authorizedPARTNERS to be recognized for capabilities in deploying virtualized voice, mobility, contact center, and UC solutions. Specifically, Mitel channel partners can achieve specialized designations within TAP to differentiate their skill set. These designations can facilitate authorizedPARTNERS in becoming experts in deploying and servicing the Mitel Freedom architecture in today's applications-driven IT world.
"Today's customers are looking for channel partners that understand how technologies can be leveraged to best support their organization's business objectives," said Bob Anderson, Mitel's vice-president, U.S. channel marketing. "Working with voice virtualization, UC, and other applications require specialized skill sets to successfully implement and integrate them within the IT infrastructure. TAP is designed to enable our authorizedPARTNERS to differentiate themselves as experts in the market in terms of delivering business value from technology, solution implementation, and post-sales support."
The Mitel Technical Accreditation Program is an optional certification and recognition program complementing Mitel's existing PARTNERprogram training and certification requirements. TAP pairs the specialized technical designations with strong marketing and channel branding resources to help Mitel authorizedPARTNERS promote a qualified, high standard of competency to their customers to gain competitive advantage in the business software integrator and IT solutions provider market. This can also help customers in the selection of their provider or integrator based on the particular technology solution they require.What makes TAP unique is its focus on certification for technologies from multiple vendors, like VMware, Research In Motion, Extreme, Juniper, HP, or Aruba, as opposed to an exclusive focus on just the Mitel Freedom architecture. TAP includes four sub-programs for attaining specialist designations. They are:
- Mitel Virtualized Voice Specialist
- Mitel Mobility Specialist
- Mitel Contact Center Specialist
- Mitel Unified Communications Specialist

Pacman to make first TNA appearance Thursday
Adam "Pacman" Jones is entering the world of men in tights wielding metal folding chairs.
The troubled Tennessee Titans cornerback, suspended from the NFL for the entire season after numerous run-ins with the law, has signed a contract with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, the company said Monday.
Jones' first in-ring appearance will be for its "iMPACT!" show on Spike TV on Thursday, TNA said. That show already has been taped, including Jones' appearance. He also will appear in a pay-per-view show Sunday at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla.
Last week, Jones' agent said the cornerback would not actually be wrestling, but that he might participate with TNA Wrestling in other ways.TNA spokesman Steven Godfrey said officials could not comment on whether Jones actually will wrestle.
"But he will be involved in a story line," Godfrey said.
"He wants to prove he's the best team sport athlete. You can take that for what it's worth. He's looking forward to coming in and wrestling," Total Nonstop Action Wrestling co-founder Jeff Jarrett said Monday. "He wants to concentrate on the tag-team aspect of wrestling."
Monday, Jones was quoted in USA Today as saying that wrestling is "something to do, to keep me out of the streets while I have my little off-time from my real job, and, I'm a big fan of wrestling, so I wanted to give it a try."
I really think he's a very charismatic guy. When you get to know him from our approach -- very marketable -- and you'll see when you tune into the pay-per-view on Sunday the response he will get. He's a star. He's a star.
TNA co-founder Jeff Jarrett
"I've often said that it's not about what you say, it's about what you do,'' Goodell said. "It's your actions. And I think the actions will have to determine that.''
In earlier reports on Jones' potential interest in wrestling, agent Michael Huyghue said he is mindful that Jones' NFL contract prohibits non-football activities that could cause injury. He said he had talked with the Titans about Jones' plans with TNA.
"I do not have a comment," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said when asked about Jones wrestling.
Jarrett said TNA has featured appearances from Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, 2005 World Series MVP David Eckstein, Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski and New York Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon.
But none of those athletes appeared while suspended from their day jobs.
Asked how Jones will be portrayed, Jarrett said to tune in Thursday night and the audience will dictate whether the cornerback becomes a good guy or "heel."
"I'm a third generation in this business. The wrestling business is built literally on conflict and controversy and larger-than-life personalities. I know that the media certainly knows Pacman from one side of his personality," Jarrett said.
"I really think he's a very charismatic guy. When you get to know him from our approach -- very marketable -- and you'll see when you tune into the pay-per-view on Sunday the response he will get. He's a star. He's a star."
Jarrett said he and other TNA wrestlers have been working with Jones, and he was impressed with the athletic ability of the first defensive player taken in the 2005 draft.
"I've never been in the ring with someone with more natural athletic ability," Jarrett said.He wouldn't be the first Titan to make a TNA appearance. Titans defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch worked the corner for retired tight end Frank Wycheck at a TNA tag team match in June in Nashville.
Vanden Bosch said after Monday's morning practice that he consulted with Titans officials about what he could and could not do in that appearance. He called wrestling a "soap opera'' for grown men and said Jones must weigh whether it's worth doing if team officials don't want him taking part.
"He has to keep continuing to take the little steps to get in good favor with his teammates and this organization,'' Vanden Bosch said. "I don't know what kind of step this is. It can be a good step. He also has to take steps to rehabilitate his image with the public.''Titans quarterback Vince Young said he hasn't talked to Jones about wrestling and is too busy in training camp to watch.
"That's his decision. That's his choice. The Tennessee Titans, we're out here working," Young said.
Several Titans declined to talk about Jones. Tight end Ben Troupe said he would record Thursday night's show if the training camp schedule keeps him busy with meetings. He is hopeful that Jones will be careful.
"I hope it's worth it, and I hope it don't violate his contract either,'' Troupe said.
Jones was suspended for the 2007 season in April for conduct detrimental to the NFL, and he can have his case reviewed after the Titans' 10th game, which is Nov. 19 at Denver.
He has been arrested six times since being drafted by the Titans in April 2005, including June 22 when he turned himself in on two felony counts of coercion in a Las Vegas strip club fight that left a man paralyzed in a triple shooting.
Last month, the league denied Jones' bid to attend training camp.Information from The Associated Press was used in this story.

Roger Goodell is cracking down on the player misconduct that's plagued his term as NFL commissioner, suspending Tennessee's Adam "Pacman" Jones (right) for the 2007 season and Cincinnati's Chris Henry and Tank Johnson (left) for eight games. Henry and Johnson have since been reinstated after serving their penalties.

Our Cricketing Heroes - Allan Border
Cameron Burge | 11:40am gmt 09 Dec 2009
A tour to Australia by the West Indies takes one back to more dangerous days - when wickets were greener, helmets less reliable, bats less explosive and visiting bowlers elicited feelings of impending doom. I speak, of course, of the late 1970s and the 1980s.
Roberts. Holding. Garner. Croft. Marshall. Walsh. Patterson. Ambrose. Bishop.
Don't just glance at those names; take a while to consider just how devastating they were. A production line of awesome fast bowlers who came to represent Caribbean dominance. In that era, if you wanted to drive, you went and bought a new car.
But it wasn't just the West Indies who possessed fine bowlers. Pakistan had Imran and Sarfraz, with able support in the spinning department from Iqbal Qasim and Tauseef Ahmed followed by the masterful Abdul Qadir and later still the great Wasim Akram. New Zealand had Richard Hadlee; Bob Willis and Ian Botham (in his pomp) carried England's attack; India had Kapil Dev and an array of spinners who tested technique and temperament, especially at home. Make no mistake, this was an era of tough, uncompromising Test cricket played on a variety of surfaces against varied attacks.
Allan Robert Border stepped into this firmament during the Packer schism in 1978-79. Short, pugnacious and talented, Border proceeded to launch a career the greatness of which is sometimes lost on those who saw little, if any, of "Captain Grumpy". To those who revere Steve Waugh's admirable fighting qualities, take pause to remember that it was Border who taught Waugh virtually all he knew about toughness. Steve Waugh was a tough batsman, his approach founded in the misery of his early days in the mid-80s. But Waugh's toughness really manifested itself as Australia began its ascendency. His first Test captain, by contrast, had to lead a mediocre side through a period of upheaval and division. When it came to toughness, Allan Border was Steve Waugh squared.
In just his second Test, Border made a soon-to-be-trademark half century as a Packer-less Australia crumbled against England. Twin failures in the next match saw Border dropped, but he was recalled for the first Test of the next series against Pakistan. It was to be the first of an incredible 153 consecutive matches at the highest level for Border.
Batting at number three, Border compiled his maiden test hundred as Australia reached 305 for three in chasing 382 for victory. His dismissal for 105 triggered an amazing collapse of 7 for 5 as Australia failed to cope with Sarfraz's dazzling spell of 7 for 1. Little did Border or anyone else suspect that lone hands amongst the ruins of batting collapses would become his stock-in-trade for nigh on the next decade.
His first overseas tour (to India) saw Border compile 521 runs at 43, including 162 at Chennai (then Madras) where he first displayed the immaculate technique and temperament against spin which he maintained for the balance of his career. His solid contribution saw Border retained for the first post-Packer series in which Australia played three Tests against each of England and West Indies.
Against West Indies, Border managed a paltry 118 runs at 19 and it was during this series I recall him being referred to as "Big Bird's Bunny". Against England he fared much better, finishing third in the averages behind the Chappell brothers with 198 runs at 49.50.
Border kept his place for Australia's tour of Pakistan in 1980. During that series, he made his first piece of cricketing history when he became the first player in Test history to compile 150 in each innings. He remains the only player to complete this double act.
By 1981 Border was a regular in the Australian side. On that year's disastrous Ashes tour, Border stood tall when all were failing around him. In the last two matches of the series, he scored 123 not out, 106 not out and 84 in consecutive innings - 313 runs over two Tests in 15 hours of batting before he was dismissed. These performances led Sir Len Hutton to describe Border as "the best young left-handed batsman in the world".
When England visited Australia in 82-83, Border struggled and there were calls for his sacking from the side. He responded in typical style, manufacturing an inspired last-wicket stand with Jeff Thomson at Melbourne which saw Australia come within three runs of victory when all had seemed lost.
The end of season 83-84 saw the retirements of Lillee, Chappell and Marsh from national colours, and Australia entered arguably the darkest period of its Test-playing history. New captain Kim Hughes had the questionable privilege of leading his relatively inexperienced side on a tour to the West Indies. The tour was a shambles from an Australian point of view, but it served to confirm Border's greatness as a batsman.
In the second match at Port of Spain, Border walked out to face his nemesis Garner with Australia teetering at 16 for three. Despite Garner snaring 6-60, Border remained 98 not out in a total of 255. Facing a deficit of 213 on the first innings, Border's second innings rescue act began at 55 for three late on day four. When Terry Alderman joined Border at 238 for 9, Australia was only 25 runs to the good and a thrashing seemed inevitable. Incredibly, Border and Alderman batted for 105 minutes to secure a draw, with Border smashing the last ball of the match for four to bring up his hundred. Pointedly, West Indies wicketkeeper Jeff Dujon listed Border's missing out on twin hundreds in this match as his greatest disappointment in cricket.
In that Test, Border resisted for 634 minutes on a lively pitch against an attack which included both Garner and Malcolm Marshall with support from Wayne Daniel and Milton Small. He finished the series with 521 runs at 74: more than twice as many runs as the next best Australian batsman.
By the mid-1980s, Australia was well and truly in the mire. Hughes had retired in tears, and Border had reluctantly taken over as captain. Despite the new skipper's fighting qualities, the rebuilding phase was made more difficult when a group of mercenaries led by Hughes defected to a rebel tour of South Africa. Series losses home and away to England and a first ever series loss to New Zealand at home confirmed the depth of the despair. Moreover, Border's captaincy was stilted and lacked imagination during this period.
Recognising the need to support its captain, the Australian Cricket Board (as it then was) appointed Bob Simpson as national coach. Simpson's appointment coincided with the selectors adopting an approach of selecting young players who, while not perhaps ready for Test cricket, were perceived as having the necessary temperament to ultimately succeed at the top level. Over the ensuing few years, players like David Boon, Steve Waugh, Geoff Marsh, Dean Jones, Merv Hughes and Ian Healy were either introduced or persisted with when many thought they ought to have been discarded. They formed the nucleus of the team which led Australia's resurgence.
The result was a renewed sense of purpose in Border and his team. It is a well-worn tale that Border led Australia to India where they played in only the second tie in history, then back to the subcontinent a year later for the unlikeliest of World Cup victories. By 1989, Border was leading a team on the rise, his unheralded side thumping England 4-0 and beginning a 16 year run of Ashes dominance. Despite not winning a series against West Indies, by the time Border retired in 1994, Australia was well on its way to becoming the number one side in world cricket, a feat which Border's successor Mark Taylor accomplished the next year with victory in the Caribbean.
To simply recount Allan Border's statistical achievements is to sell him short. Border WAS Australian cricket in the 1980s - the sole shining light of its darkest days. Moreover, he typified the traits which many Australians would like to see in themselves: doggedness in the face of adversity; standing up to a superior foe, and a hard-edged determination above all else.
Border's legacy to Australian cricket is as under-estimated as it is immense. He demanded high standards from his young team, but more importantly he set and maintained those standards for himself, whether with bat, in the field or as an under-utilised left arm spinner. The benchmarks which he and Simpson established gave his side the hard edge which it carried into its era of dominance - and which, without Border's guiding hand, it sometimes carried too far.
Who could forget Border telling an exhausted, dehydrated and physically ill Dean Jones during the Tied Test to "get out so we can get a real man, a Queenslander in", which inspired Jones to continue on to his epic double hundred? Or his spray of Craig McDermott on the 93 Ashes tour when McDermott back-chatted him in a tour match, leading the skipper to remark "Don't push me son, or you'll be on the next f***ing plane home!" But perhaps the incident which best sums up Border's hard-edged approach was during the same series, when at stumps on day two of the fourth Test with his team sitting at 613 for four and with the Ashes in the bag, Border walked into the change room and announced "We are batting on tomorrow to inflict further physical and mental disintegration on the opposition". He'd come a long way from the timid, reluctant captain of 1985.
The comedian Andrew Denton best summed up how AB was regarded in his excellent speech at Border's testimonial dinner:
"I don't just respect AB, I worship the very protector he sweats in.... The statistics alone tell the story: Eight thousand Tests. Four million one-dayers. Almost two billion runs in a career that began way back when fast bowlers began to walk erect. This guy's been around. As Jane Border discovered when they started going out, you don?t date Allan Border, you carbon date him'"
The real beauty in Border's story is not the records he broke, the runs he scored or even his unending reliability. Rather, it's the fact that so self-effacing and reluctant a leader could turn a team which couldn't beat time with a stick into one which came to ultimately dominate world cricket. To do so he had to modify his own attitude and methods, and he had to take the team with him. That he did so ensures his place in the Pantheon of Australian cricketing Gods.
Awesome article mate!

CloudFactory Acquires Key Crowdsourcing Competitor And Launches Next Generation Platform
NEW YORK, Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CloudFactory, a distributed workforce company for business automation, today announced the launch of the CloudFactory 2.0 Platform at Crowdopolis in downtown Manhattan. The new platform comes after CloudFactory acquired SpeakerText and Humanoid in October of 2012. Both were backed by investors such as Google Ventures, Dave McClure's 500 Startups, Mitch Kapor and CrowdFlower CEO Lukas Biewald.

"We took the best from both platforms in designing CloudFactory 2.0. We can now provide our clients with even better accuracy, faster turnaround times and more advanced workflows to automate their business processes."
CloudFactory's growing base of enterprise clients are all companies that were looking for ways to automate core aspects of their business. Many had outsourced their work to India and the Philippines.

"CloudFactory has sped up and doubled our medical form processing capacity, even identifying errors made by our seasoned internal staff!" said Kyle Powell, CEO of SureHire.CloudFactory has seen their volume of tasks soar over the last few months. "It took us 8 months to process our first million tasks. Now we are doing 1 million tasks every week," said Sears. The combination of CloudFactory's new software platform along with their dedicated, highly trained workforce is unique in the industry. It provides for what they call "accuracy at scale." Because of this, CloudFactory was recently ranked at the top of the space by industry analysts, GigaOM. About CloudFactory CloudFactory is a distributed workforce company for business automation. Typical clients have large volumes of data entry, data collection or data processing work where quality is the critical component. The work is broken down into microtasks that are completed along "virtual assembly lines" by CloudFactory's global, on-demand, managed workforce. As a social enterprise, CloudFactory exists to connect 1 million people in developing countries to basic computer work while raising them up as leaders to address poverty in their own communities.

Holley Power Valve
Click image to enlarge
What's in the Box
High flow (big window valve) for alcohol. Available sizes include: 2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 8.5, 10.5 in hg.
Tech Tip:
Engine vacuum will hold the valve closed until vacuum drops below the cracking point, measured in inches of mercury (in hg) at which time, the valve will open and enrich the fuel mix.
It is quite common to put very low numbers in multi carb systems. The reason is that if standard single carb valves are used, it will cause the engine to be overly rich. When you are at a part throttle cruise at 55 mph (say, with a 12 in hg of manifold vacuum) and you squeeze into the throttle to go up a hill or pass a car, the manifold vacuum drops (say, down to 7 in hg) and all three power valves open. Normally, this will make the engine soggy & rich, since it has three times the fuel enrichment that it needs.
People will put in the lower power valves to delay the enrichment until nearly Wide Open Throttle. At WOT, the engine can normally consume the additional fuel without puffing black smoke or fouling plugs. The problem with putting -45 power valves in, is that it defeats the purpose of a power enrichment system. The enrichment system is designed to provide a slight increase in fuel flow as power requirements increase. If you install -45 power valves and they do not open until WOT, you lose the benefit of adding just a little bit of fuel when you squeeze the throttle a little.
A better way is to put power valve plugs (or very low numbers) in the front and rear carbs and use a standard power valve in the center carb. The best way is to put restrictors (PVCR or power valve channel restriction, which are small lengths of stainless steel piano wire) in all three carbs, which limits the amount of fuel that is added, not when it is added.

Note: With just a little work with a file, the adapter can also be used to adapt an intake manifold with a 2" x 3-3/4" bolt pattern to the Holley 2300/Ford/Motorcraft 2 barrel carburetor as well.
A good selection of pump discharge nozzle sizes is indispensable to the proper tuning of the accelerator pump system. The nozzle hole size determines the rate of fuel discharge. A larger hole will "shoot" the fuel at a faster rate with less pressure than a smaller hole. Sizes are stamped on each nozzle. For example the number "31" indicates the nozzle hole size is .031".
Includes one nozzle and two nozzle gaskets.
The three styles offered are Tube Type, Straight Type, and Center Type.
