For the last few years, Bookish.com — the joint venture between S&S, Hachette, and Penguin — has seen a number of iterations and had its share of setbacks. Most articles — including this one — tend to lead with a description of all the difficulties Bookish has had, from CEO change-overs to more than a year in delays. Even fresh off its launch several weeks ago there's a lot of discussion about what role Bookish.com fills in the ecosystem and whether or not it's addressing a consumer need. When it was announced yesterday that Goodreads.com was being acquired by Amazon, one of Forbes' headlines covering the announcement was Amazon Buys Goodreads. Take That, Bookish! As if it's another string of bad luck in the Bookish saga.

Large Oil Deposits Found In Montana-Truth!
Summary of the eRumor: A U.S. Geological Survey report that tells about a large domestic oil discovery hidden beneath the Rocky Mountains.
Shale oil was considered as an alternative fuel source during the Jimmy Carter era when America experienced a gas crunch in the 1970's. Additional refining processes are required to extract fuel from shale oil, which could result in cost increases at the pump.
There are also other major oil companies, including Shell and Chevron, who are also working on solutions to supply fuel from oil shale deposits and other alternative fuel sources throughout the U.S.

OIL - you better sit down.
Here's an interesting read, important and verifiable information :
About 6 months ago, the writer was watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more than all the Middle East put together." Please read below.
The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota,
and extreme eastern Montana ...... check THIS out:
http://bakkenshale.net/bakkenshalemap.html The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5..3 trillion.
"When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.
"This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years," reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada.. For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves.... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from 2006!
U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen
- and it's all right here in the Western United States .
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY?
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.
Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to. Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?
Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it, do this:
Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you complain about gas prices - by doing NOTHING, you forfeit your right to complain.
Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book.
By the way...this is all true. Check

ST. LOUIS (KMOV) -- Cardinals third baseman David Freese is headed to the 2012 All-Star Game.
Freese and Rangers rookie pitcher Yu Darvish won the NL and AL Final Votes and will represent their respective leagues in Tuesday's All-Star Game in Kansas City.
Freese, the first Cardinals player to win the Final Vote, became the NL leader Tuesday after MLB announced Chipper Jones was replacing Matt Kemp on the NL roster.
Freese also led the voting heading into Thursday, but a late push of Twitter voting had Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Bourn rapidly closing the gap.
It appears it was too little too late, though, as the 2011 World Series MVP's lead in voting was too big a gap to close.
Finishing behind Freese in votes were Bourn, Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper and Diamondbacks second baseman Aaron Hill.
Freese heads into Thursday's game against the Colorado Rockies with 50 RBIs, second among NL third basemen behind the Met's All-Star David Wright. He also ranks second among all NL third baseman with 13 home runs.

Ten Signs of the Dubpocalypse! From Bieber and Muse to Dubstep Cereal Commercials
4. They're Putting Dubstep in Commercials for Children's Cereal
Dubstep is so safe and friendly and choosey-mom approved, UK cereal company Weetabix is using it to hock morning breakfast flakes. Look at these dancing teddy bears. They can't get enough of that screeching. This girl is going to go on to beast her day with chocolate bass chunks.
3. People Wear Their Dubstep and Use It to Pick Up Chicks
If you've been to a music festival lately, chances are you've seen some neon bro walk past you, chest out, sporting one of these babies. You may have also heard that dubstep cures cancer. At least that's what the obnoxious t-shirts tell us. Our children will all be stoked when they look back on our slutty college days as archived forever on Facebook and realize we had such great taste in music. < Previous>

Wipe off your old boots, or buy some new ones. It's two-stepping time in Victoria. This will be the first year for Bootfest in the Crossroads.
The city expects to draw a crowd of 15,000 people to downtown Victoria. The free concert will be full of family-friendly activities on Friday and Saturday.
There will be live music, kid's activities, boot making, arts and crafts, food and drinks, and a fireworks show.
"We wanted to give the citizens a festival," said Jennifer Sourdellia. "They've wanted it for a long time."
The communications assistant said she hopes the festival brings out-of-town guests as well.
There will be some variety in the musical lineup, too.
Clay Crockett looks forward to performing at Bootfest.
"Victoria needs a festival, it's great to be a part of it."
Crockett once played with Rhythm of the Road, and now he plays with The Shotgun Riders.
Saturday's headlining act, Josh Abbott, showed love for music and state in his song "She's Like Texas." Some of the lyrics say: "She's as free as the blue bonnets in the summer. She's as hot as the Padre Island sun."
JB and the Moonshine Band, originally from East Texas, will be the opening act at the inaugural festival. The group released their debut album, "Ain't Goin' Back to Jail," and is signed to Average Joe's Entertainment Group label.
Front man JB Patterson said, in a news release "We're not super polished, we're not overproduced, we're raw, we're real and we don't apologize for it." He also said that singing original songs provides an element of authenticity that fans can appreciate.
Waco native, Wade Bowen, will be Friday night's headliner. His album, "If We Ever Make It Home," has produced four No. 1 singles on the Texas Music Chart and Texas Regional Radio Charts. His music video, "Trouble," debuted at No. 1 and is aired on CMT's Pure 12 Pack.
The Scott Taylor Band, from Victoria, wants people to have a foot stompin' good time, while singing and dancing. The Victoria-based band has performed for more than a decade. Taylor said his show is high-energy. He "doesn't slow down until they kick us out," Taylor said, on his website.
Brian Curtis, from the Curtis & Luckey band, will perform both nights. Curtis described his group's sound as rocking, Texas-songwriter, country. His group's patriotic song, "I Have a Dream," reached the top 30 on the Texas Regional Radio charts.
Curtis moved to Lockhart from Nashville. He said he heard about Bootfest from a friend in Goliad and thought it would be a good opportunity. Although the festival is new to the Texas music circuit, he said it's a great concept.
"We hope the Bootfest succeeds," he said. "We would like to come back, year after year."

- ECI information
BBFCinsight publication date 03/01/2012
Note: The following text may contain spoilers
THE DARKEST HOUR is a science fiction action film about an alien invasion of Moscow. The film was classified '12A' for moderate horror, violence, threat and language.
The action, which involves the central characters attempting to evade the aliens whilst making contact with other survivors of the alien attack, gives rise to scenes of threat and bursts of violence. These are not unduly sustained, however, and are permissible at '12A' where the BBFC's Guidelines state 'Moderate physical and psychological threat may be permitted, provided disturbing sequences are not frequent or sustained'. There are some moments of horror, most notably when the humans are dispatched by the aliens, who manifest themselves as balls of light that lash out with blasts of energy. These blasts result in human victims dissolving or disintegrating into clouds of dust, ash, and embers, but with no gory detail.
The film contains two uses of moderate language. The first occurs when a character who has cheated his partners in a business deal is referred to in his absence as a "Swedish prick". In a later scene, a soldier repels an alien with blasts from an automatic rifle and exclaims triumphantly, "You don't like this, bitch!". The Guidelines at '12A'/'12' state 'Moderate language is allowed'.
The film also contains some mild bad language, such as uses of 'hell', 'shit', 'dumbass', 'dick', 'goddam', 'Jesus', 'assholes' and 'douchebag', along with infrequent mild sex references.
Parents can find additional information about the content of this film if they visit www.pbbfc.co.uk.

Trash Day Changing for Many Rancho Residents
If you find yourself struggling to remember when trash day is or have woken in a panic to the sound of the garbage truck on the next street over, prepare yourself. Various neighborhoods in Rancho Cordova will have a new trash pick up day starting on March 15, 2010. The collection day for residential garbage, recycling and green waste will change for approximately 1,700 Rancho Cordova homes.
Not only will the route changes improve the balance of collection routes but will create better coordination between street sweeping and garbage collection.
The households affected by the change have received a hand delivered notice from Allied. If you are unsure of your garbage collection day, please see the map below.

The Obama administration launched a criminal investigation Monday into harsh questioning of detainees during President George W. Bush's war on terrorism, revealing CIA interrogators' threats to kill one suspect's children and to force another to watch his mother sexually assaulted, the Associated Press reported.
At the same time, President Barack Obama ordered changes in future interrogations, bringing in other agencies besides the CIA under the direction of the FBI and supervised by his own national security adviser. The administration pledged questioning would be controlled by the Army Field Manual, with strict rules on tactics, and said the White House would keep its hands off the professional investigators doing the work.
Monday's five-year-old report by the CIA's inspector general, newly declassified and released under a federal court's orders, described severe tactics used by interrogators on terror suspects after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Seeking information about possible further attacks, interrogators threatened one detainee with a gun and a power drill, choked another and tried to frighten still another with a mock execution of another prisoner.
Attorney General Holder said he had chosen a veteran prosecutor to determine whether any CIA officers or contractors should face criminal charges for crossing the line on rough but permissible tactics.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Obama's decision to allow the investigation "serves as a reminder, if any were needed, of why so many Americans have doubts about this administration's ability to be responsible for our nation's security." Cheney released the statement to The Weekly Standard, a conservative journal.

Joy and Sadness
Most of the time these blog posts update you on just a glimpse of what's going on behind the curtain over here at Masten, and the man behind that curtain for most of those posts over the last three plus years has been Colin. Today's post is a little different.
Today, it is both with joy and sadness that I announce that after years of service to Masten and New Space, Colin is hanging up his rocket spurs. The sadness part isn't hard to understand. Colin has served as the face of the team for years, and has done even more back here behind the curtain. In fact, most of the team that exists today was recruited in one way or another by Colin. That includes me. It takes a rare gift to meet the challenge of a chaotic startup environment, and Masten is forever better for Colin's enthusiasm for the company, for the clients, and for the industry.
But there is also joy. Joy for Colin as he leaves us to return to his alma mater, Georgia Tech, in a role as a facilitator and champion for technology transfer. If you haven't encountered Georgia Tech's VentureLab or the sister group, Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC), they are the anchors of GT's incubator program – one that is widely recognized as one of the best in the US. (And now we have another space entrepreneur in their midst?)
There is joy here at Masten as well (and not just 'cause he's loud, we share hotel rooms, and he snores a lot). His departure also gives us cause to look back over the course we've navigated over his tenure. It really is impressive how far Masten has come since the Lunar Lander Challenge in 2009.
I'll hand the keyboard back to Colin:
The last three and a half years (four and a half, if you count my time as an intern) have given me the unique opportunity to pour my blood, sweat and tears into Masten. This place is awesome and I love it here. After helping organize the chaos into (slightly) less chaos, building strong relationships with people across the industry, and helping build an incredible team, another challenge beckons.
Where I'm headed: GT's VentureLab was just recently named the #2 university business incubator in the world. They focus on building hard science and hardware startups forged from technology found deep in the heart of research labs across campus. I have a lot to learn and a lot of experience from Masten to build upon. I'll be back at the heart of a small company soon enough, but for now I'm off to help build many other companies.
Thanks to Dave and Joel for bringing me on and to everyone at Masten I've met along the way. And of course thanks to everyone I've met in industry for good conversation and great friendships we've struck up over the past couple of years. When you're in Atlanta, come see me over at VentureLab!
Thanks, Colin. We wish you well and officially enshrine you in the august ranks of Masten Alumni.
Sean Mahoney
Chief Executive Officer
Masten Space Systems

The 2010 F1 season is now less than 2 weeks away. A lot has changed since the end of 2009. Here is the part 1 of a miniseries summarizing the differences between F1 in 2009 and F1 in 2010.
Grands Prix
The 2010 season will have 19 rounds (compared with 17 last year). No race was dropped from the calendar, Canadian GP returns and for the first time F1 will travel to Korea.
Korean International Circuit is latest Tilkedrome on F1 calendar. The track is located some 400 km south of Seoul, is 5.621 km long and features 17 corners, including the usual Tilke one – the Turn 3 at the end of the long straight. The inaugural Korean GP will be held on October 24, 2010 and should stay with us for at least 7 years.
While there hasn't been too much excitement about the Korean GP, the exact opposite can be said about the return of Canadian GP after it was dropped from the calendar in 2009. One of the best events on the calendar is back and let's hope it stays there !
Two of the returning races will be run on track with revised layouts. The British GP will use the new Arena section of the Silverstone circuit, the section originally designed for MotoGP (also held at Silverstone from this year). The revised track is 5.90 km long, compared with 5.141 km length of the previous GP layout and features 18 corners (previously 17).
The other track with brand new configuration for Formula One GP is the venue of the opening race of the season – Bahrain International Circuit. This year the F1 cars will for the first time run the full length of the Bahrain circuit – 6.299 km (previously 5.41 km).
The newly added part of the F1 track is the section between corners 4 and 15 on the above track map. The Bahrain GP lap now features 23 corners, 8 more than in past 6 seasons.
There will also be a change at Sepang – The Malaysian Grand Prix will start an hour earlier than last season. That should slightly reduce the chances that the evening tropical rainstorm will again wash the race away …
The 2010 F1 season is 4 weeks longer than 2009 one. The opening race in Bahrain (14 March) is 2 weeks earlier than 2009 season opener in Melbourne, the season finale in Abu Dhabi (14 November) is scheduled 2 weeks later than last year.

Cool New Trick I Stumbled Across.
One day, while leaving college and WiFi, I had a bunch of notifications while listening to music. Usually, you can change the song from the notification bar, but all the notifications compressed the music widget. However, I was curious and pinched on the widget and pretended to enlarge it to normal size, and it actually worked! I was shocked, and tried it for other things. When you screenshot with a bunch of notifications, you can also expand that screenshot in the bar to have the full size icon. I'll post pictures of what I mean soon, or a video. Try it out.

"Jimmy's really great to work with -- like he says, 'It's a great summer job.' Everything runs like clockwork. Top-of-the-line organization. There are fifteen people in the band and over 50 in the entourage, so it's a logistical nightmare. But the crew's like one big party -- no throwing TVs out hotel windows or anything like that; no dirt. Remember, I have to work with these people," Yarling laughs.
Yet the Little Nicky in her is still fighting for respect. "We've been playing original music for years and probably have as much name recognition as anyone. But the rock clubs don't take us seriously. Maybe it's because we don't play a lot of jangly guitar; it seems like that's something all the alternative bands have. Maybe it's because we're a little selective about what gigs we'll play. I understand that you've got a lot of young bands around that will play for whatever. I've worked with all the jazz people, Dizzy [Gillespie], Ira [Sullivan]. I've worked with all the blues people. I'm touring with Jimmy [Buffett]. I have a track record. People have known me for a long time. But I come home and sometimes I can't get a gig.
"One of the last things we did as the Slicks was Miami Rocks's opening night," Yarling says. "Something like that means a lot more to me than just going out and banging out tunes, knocking around the bar scene and playing for shitty money. It's like the difference between eating a real meal when you're really hungry as opposed to munching on cheese doodles and potato chips."
Yarling knows she will never be consigned to a cheese doodle diet as long as Linda Lou Nelson owns the Cactus Cantina on Sixth Street on South Beach. Nelson opened the joint in 1989 aspiring to "become the Tobacco Road of South Beach, a place where there would be live music every night," as she puts it.
"I've made a conscious effort to include women in the spotlight," Nelson asserts. "I grew up in the Sixties, I've always been involved in women's issues as a lawyer, and I may be the only female live music club owner in South Florida. This will be the fourth year we've held a Women in Music month in September, featuring a woman performing every night for the entire month, and we've sponsored the Women Rock Miami night of Miami Rocks the last two years."
The Cactus provides a regular venue for local acts such as the irrepressible Magda Hiller, an earthy singer-songwriter with a knockout voice and a bawdy sense of humor who has cooked up the club's Sunday night musical fare for the better part of a year. Vesper Sparrow, Mary Karlzen, Diane Ward (with and without Voidville), and Nicole Yarling have all played the club several times, as have countless other women over the years.
And the distaff influence doesn't end there. The Cactus is one of the few local clubs almost completely staffed by women, from general manager Nicole Hoge and kitchen boss Pattie Behnstedt to promotions director Ulla Nielsen and "slave laborers" (Behnstedt's description) Megan Saperstein and Jennifer Fletcher. (Not that Nelson discriminates; the Cactus also employs three male bartenders.)
While Nelson may be the only woman in South Florida who actually owns a rock-oriented live music club, Helaine Blum knows firsthand what it's like to manage one. From 1991 through April of this year, Blum served as promotions director at Squeeze, the popular Broward alternative nightclub, before assuming the reins as Black Janet's manager. Blum got involved in the local music scene later than most A she has a fifteen-year-old son who accompanied her to last year's Lollapalooza festival A after spending some time as the adult program director at Piper High School's alternative radio station, WKPX-FM, in the late Eighties.
Blum's duties at Squeeze were assumed by Lisa Cillo, a onetime substitute teacher at Piper High who had also followed Blum as the adult supervisor at WKPX. And continuing in Blum's footsteps, Cillo's long-range goals include band management; to that end she's taken rising talents Six Silver Spiders into her web.
Like Squeeze, Miami Beach's Stephen Talkhouse and Fort Lauderdale's Musicians Exchange are popular destinations for fans of homegrown music. Mia Johnson moved to Miami from Tampa in October and immediately immersed herself in original music, helping to organize the South Florida Rock Awards. A graduate of the University of South Carolina, Johnson is currently involved in booking and promotions at the Talkhouse, specializing in original bands. Rose Tucci is Johnson's counterpart at Musicians Exchange, booking the Broward nightlife fixture's original rock fare on Wednesdays.
The president of Broward-based Long Distance Entertainment, a multifaceted entertainment company that manages and promotes bands and books clubs and concerts, Darlene Delano has worked her share of original bands into clubs over the years. "I can remember when the roster of available original acts was less than one sheet of notebook paper long," she says. "Now it's more than twenty pages of computer printouts -- over 360 rock and alternative acts, and those are just the bands that we do business with. I've got way too many gray hairs for a woman my age; I've got a six-year-old daughter and a very understanding significant other and I've quit smoking three times already."

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

For some reason, hummus used to intimidate me. Maybe it was the tahini, or the chick peas, but I thought it was so difficult to make, and was afraid to try it. It's really not that hard, and you can create all sorts of delicious vegan, gluten-free varieties....

Student Complaints
Pellissippi State Community College strives to provide the best instructional atmosphere and level of service to students. At times, however, students may have an issue, concern or complaint regarding their educational experience. In such cases, the College strives to resolve issues as quickly as possible and at the level closest to the issue.
Students should follow the procedures listed below to resolve their concerns or complaints.
Filing a Complaint
Informal Resolution
The first step a student should take in resolving a concern or complaint is to directly address the faculty member, staff member or student in question.There may be some cases in which a student might feel uncomfortable directly addressing the faculty or staff member. If this is the case, the student should speak to the academic dean in the case of a faculty member, or to the supervisor in the case of a staff member. If the issue is with another student, and the student with the concern is uncomfortable addressing the other student, he or she may contact Safety and Security or the vice president of Student Affairs a tthe Pellissippi Campus or the assistant dean at the Division Street, MagnoliaAvenue or Blount County Campus. If there is no resolution at that level, the student may file a formal, written complaint.
Formal Resolution
Students who have attempted informal resolution to their complaints and need further resolution may file a formal complaint. Students should fully complete and submit the electronic student complaint form, located at www.pstcc.edu/complaint. This form will be submitted to the appropriate vice president over the area in which the student has a concern. The vice president(or designee) will conduct an investigation within 10 working days of receiving the complaint. The vice president (or designee) will communicate the outcome of the investigation to the student in no more than 30 working days of receiving the complaint.
Students or prospective students who wish to file a complaint related to accreditation or regarding violations of state law not resolved at the institution may submit a student complaint form to the Tennessee Board of Regents at 1415 Murfreesboro Road, Suite 340, Nashville 37217, or by going online and filing out the form electronically at www.tbr.edu/contact/default.aspx?id=2936.

Featured Article
United Technologies has withdrawn its takeover offer for Diebold, the Ohio based maker of ATMs and voting machines.
Hartford's UTC launched a hostile takeover bid for Diebold in February, valuing the troubled company at forty dollars a share – a big premium to its share price at the time. The ATM side of Diebold's business might have offered an opportunity for UTC to expand its business in Asia, using networks built up by its Otis Elevator unit.
But Diebold's board said the bid undervalued the company, and consistently rejected UTC's advances. In a letter made public Monday, UTC Chairman George David told Diebold he had hoped the transaction could have created substantial value for both companies' shareholders, and said it's unfortunate this won't happen.
Diebold's shares fell slightly on the news, despite the overall market rally, but rebounded to end Monday up around one and a half percent. The withdrawal comes in the same week that UTC will unveil its third quarter earnings – there's some nervousness among analysts that the strengthening dollar and the global economic meltdown may be taking their toll on the industrial conglomerate.

In a matter of mere minutes a company can have a Public Relations nightmare on their hands with the advent of blogs and the relative ease news can travel across the planet, thanks to the internet. 20 years ago, companies did not have to worry about bloggers posting videos about their products being picked apart, blowing up or catching on fire. Today marketers for major corporations have to be savvier about the online marketing presence they have and utilize it to their best advantage.
Within the last year or so there are several examples I can point to where companies handled their Word or Mouth issues with the blogosphere both extremely well, and extremely bad. However, it's always the bad instances that stick out in people's minds, and that's what can within mere minutes tank a company's well built reputation.
A primary example is last year's Kryptonite's PR disaster with their bike locks. The locks had an industry reputation of being unpickable. Thousand of bike messengers in New York City alone swore by these locks to keep their essential piece of their livelihood from falling into unwanted hands. Enter a small homemade video uploaded to the web, posted on a blog that showed exactly how to pick the Kryptonite lock with a mere ball point pen. Apparently the blogger had tried to contact the company about this issue, but his calls fell upon deaf ears. The video picked up steam and hit the forums and then, became a front page story on one of New York City's leading newspapers.
Now lets turn to some examples of company's starting to use their blogs for addressing issues, rumors and generally getting a hold on how their customers are feeling. The latest entry into the coporate blogging world is Dell. Feeling the heat from bloggers across the internet such as Jeff Jarvis for their lousy customer service and let's not forget the recent PR nightmare of the Dell computer catching on fire,
Dell finally started reaching out to its customer base on July 5, 2006 when it started its one2one corporate blog. They even addressed the issue of the "Flaming Notebook" with a post explaining how they replaced the computer and are investigating the cause, pointing to a possible issue with the lithium ion battery and making sure to point out that "lithium ion batteries are used in billions of notebooks, mp3 players, PDAs and cell phones these days."
The point here being is that if you are managing the online marketing for your major corporation, or even if its just a small company, you should be monitoring the "blog pulse" or "buzz" of your company online. Read industry forums, do searches, read industry blogs and get out there and keep a handle on the word of mouth happening with your company. And I can't stress this enough, if you don't have a corporate blog – START ONE. Not only can it help you squash silly rumors or address issues being raised by bloggers, it can help you actively promote products, services and most importantly reach out to a target audience that is already actively captivated!

Following a brief teaser, Rihanna unleashes the full music video for the track "What Now." The fifth single of Ms. Fenty's 2012 LP Unapologetic, The stylish video channels The Exorcist as a possessed pop songstress performs the track in an unadorned space. Shot in Thailand over the summer, the four-minute cut is viewable above in its entirety. Enjoy.
British GQ is celebrating its 25th Anniversary and for the occasion enlisted superstar artist Damien Hirst and singer Rihanna for its cover. The artist went ahead and created a Medusa-inspired spread, with snakes crawling around the body and head of the singer. Even Rihanna's eyes have been given the animal treatment, resulting in an overall surreal photoshoot and over, that even carries the Hirst signature, just like one his paintings. The December 2013 issue of British GQ should be hitting newsstands in the coming weeks. Make sure to take a look at Rihanna's other cover this month on Germany's 032c magazine here. [See Photos]
Chris Brown has checked into rehab a day after his appearance in a Washington, D.C., court over an assault charge that could have implications for his probation in Los Angeles. "Chris Brown has elected to enter a rehab facility," a representative for the singer said in a statement Tuesday. "His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point."Brown pleaded not guilty Monday in D.C., to a misdemeanor assault charge that prosecutors reduced from a felony. The R&B singer and his bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, were arrested early Sunday at the W Hotel in Washington. [See & Read More]
If her recent posts on Instagram have been any indication, Rihanna held no punches while filming the video for "Pour It Up." The song, featured on last year's successful Unapologetic LP, finally gets visual justice with a new music video. As one might expect, the video parallels the song in its simple celebration of excess. The premise finds Rihanna scantily clad, sensually rhyming the words to the song in a gilded throne. As if that weren't stimulating enough, Rih Rih is joined by a legion of equitably blessed dancers acting out the song's lyrics in a pool of water. It might be worth holding off from watching this video until within the privacy of one's home, but regardless, enjoy "Pour It Up" above.
Nine months after the release of A$AP Rocky's album Long.Live.A$AP, he's finally given us the official video for "Fashion Killa." It features Rihanna who plays his love interest and sharer of all things fashion-related, as the two embark on what looks like a pretty extravagant shopping trip across New York City. Enjoy.
Drake is back in New York to promote Nothing Was The Same, and hitting his fan markets from the greedy freebians fighting over #NTWS shirts at the Alife store, to the housewives and house-arrest audience of The Ellen Show. And Ellen Degeneres knows exactly how to put "Our Holy Lord of Cableknit" in the hot seat -- bring up old jumpies and platonic girlfriends. Ellen asked Drake about Rihanna, Tyra Banks, and Kat Dennings but then threw in friend-zoner Nicki Minaj, and a total reach, Kim Kardashian. Enjoy.
While Rihanna was on her Diamonds World Tour earlier this year, director Phil Griffin captured footage of the 25-year-old singer performing onstage as well as sharing kind words about the support she receives from her fans, better known as the "Navy." That footage has turned into a short documentary called Half Of Me, which also includes testimonials from fans who discuss Rihanna's impact on their life. Their feelings are clearly reciprocal. "Everything that I have acquired, everything that I've accomplished, I really owe it to my fans," Rihanna says. "It's really them that made that happen. They mean a lot to me. My fans, they mean everything to me."Watch the full documentary above, presented by Budweiser. Enjoy.
Just when we thought Rihanna has rocked every hairstyle known to man, the "Diamonds" singer has managed to keep us on our toes by adding a new cut to her list of killer hairdos. Watch RiRi revealed her edgy mullet-rattail combo this weekend in a number of photos on Instagram. In one picture, the hair chameleon is at McDonald's with her back to the camera as she rocks a sports bra that reads "G4Life" while revealing the bold, new look. [See More]
Is Chris Brown planning to quit music for good? The R&B singer caused quite the stir this week after a series of tweets appeared on his Twitter page, suggesting he may retire from the music industry. The tweets have since been deleted, but several media outlets posted them before they "mysteriously" disappeared from Brown's Twitter page. "Don't worry mainstream America. After this X album, it'll probably be my last album," one tweet revealed, as seen here. Another one noted, "Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent," he continued. "I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!" [Read More]
Rihanna definitely kept us in the know of her collaboration with D.C. rapper Wale. The pair who were in the studio cooking up "Bad" remix debuted the new single on Monday; however, it sounds like RiRi might be coming for ex-off-and-on beau Chris Brown. Miley Cyrus releases her new single "We Can't Stop," and our currently cover model Selena Gomez reveals that her new album Stars Dance will come out on July 23rd. Enjoy.

That Sums It Up: Why Is Brave & Bold Dying?
- Posted by Johanna on April 4, 2008 at 8:32 am
- Category: LinkBlogging
Over at the Newsrama Blog (link no longer available), Graeme asks why The Brave and the Bold (scroll down) is doing so poorly.
That's a good question. The comic lets two of the best superhero creators of the modern age, writer Mark Waid and artist George Pérez, use the biggest name and most fan favorite characters in a universe-spanning, anything-can-happen sprawl. Why is the book dying?
The commenters answer. I've had problems in the past with some of the idiotic things some people there say, but this time, I thought several of the responses were right on and insightful. I particularly want to call attention to this, #11:
B&B appeals to intelligent readers who appreciate the history of DC's universe and the caring attention Waid and Perez give to the characters they use in their stories. Such readers have by and large stopped reading DC comics, since the bulk of the DCU is now run by overgrown fanboys with dismemberment fetishes.
That sums up my opinion. Being of a certain age, I was also stunned by the idea that Pérez's art makes people's eyes glaze over, but you know, I think that's probably right. It's baroquely ornate, and that can be off-putting to those more used to the simplicity of manga or the animated style or other pared down design approaches. I also agree with those who say that more plot resolution and stronger story through-line would have been appreciated.

April 4, 2008 at 11:13 AMI'd be curious to see if the book's doing better in trades. I've given up following the DCU on a weekly basis; at some point, I just grab a trade or a bunch of issues and catch up when I have time. It's much easier to follow, and is more rewarding to me as a reader, especially given the complexity of the stories that are being told over there.
All I know is that the first B&B book was really a lot of fun, and I placed my pre-order for the second one yesterday. Waid and Perez are creating absolutely perfect superhero comics. I'm fine with Perez's style (in fact, I'm a big fan!), and Waid's spinning great stories from the recesses of DC's continuity. He's doing it the right way; instead of resenting the author for forcing me to know all sorts of DC trivia, he's making me interesting in Space Taxi and the like.
I think that the extra material in the trades also helps a lot. The trade for B&B had "director's commentary" at the end, which made it a lot more rewarding.

April 4, 2008 at 12:55 PMJohanna – This is not exactly on point but I am curious if you know why DC has suddenly started to publish so many trades in hardcover format. I only buy trades and B&B, JLA, JSA, GL are all books I would buy – but only in softcover. It's not even a price thing. I just don't want to break up the even flow of my comics shelf. Any insights?

With a new Brave & The Bold cartoon coming to the Cartoon Network, I imagine that DC will publish an accompanying animated-style comic. Sadly, it will probably sell as poorly as all of DC's other animated-style tie-in comics.
- Dave Carter Says:
April 4, 2008 at 1:08 PMMichael T: Paul Levitz kind of addressed the topic of hardcovers in his recent Blog@Newsarama post.
- thekamisama Says:
April 4, 2008 at 1:10 PMI suspect it also might have to do with too much 'competition' within DC itself. Crossover books might just be passé in the day and age of MEGA EVENT massive universal meet and greets. Right now DC is managing Countdown, it's sattilite books, the Tangent x-over, the New God's thing, a DC/Wildstorm clash and is already hyping a new Crisis and weekly title. They claim each one of these books is crucial to the fans understanding of the future continuity of the DCU. So a beautifully drawn crossover book with only 2-3 characters who are not struggling for the fate of the universe in every issue is just not a priority for the entrenched
continuity porn addict'sfan's dollars. - Charles RB Says:
April 4, 2008 at 2:11 PMI agree with the third commentator who says "it's a book that has a very, very, very specific audience and everything about it (content, story-telling style) is pretty off-putting to people outside of that audience" – because when I see Brave & Bold in Previews, I get a feeling I'm not the audience for this. So I don't buy it. I also don't have that big an attraction to the DCU continuity as an entity, so "random ever-changing characters meet up" isn't that appealing to me.
I agree with thekamisama that Brave & Bold is at an inherent disadvantage when there's so many "event" comics going on around it at the same time.
- Johanna Says:
April 4, 2008 at 2:18 PMDave, thanks for providing that link. I read between the lines and conclude that DC books have to be successful as periodicals before they are seriously considered for collections — unless they're award-winning or otherwise notable.
Ray, I haven't seen the trade yet, but those kinds of extras sound great… and may drive waiting for the book. And I agree with your methods — I do the same thing these days, preferring to read larger chunks.
Michael, I don't know what determines those format decisions these days. Although my default answer, "money", may apply. :) Plus, hardcovers survive shipping better and can be priced higher.
- James Schee Says:
April 4, 2008 at 5:46 PMFor me, I'd be more interested in a team up book that had characters I was interested in.
Last I looked it was Batman (Waid's Batman is usually odd), a Green Lantern I dont care for, a LSH I lost interest in and a Supergirl I find just a bit icky.
- odessa steps magazine Says:
April 4, 2008 at 6:36 PMAs one of those "old fogeys" who love classic DC stuff, I love the book. I mean, where else are you going to see the Challengers, the Shining Knight and Space Cabbie meaning up with Supes and Bats?
- Alan Coil Says:
April 5, 2008 at 12:55 PMMichael T—
I think they put the books out first as hardcovers because Marvel does. Marvel, for the past several years, has put out hardcover collections on much of their stuff before they put out the softcover. Marvel proved the market would support hardcovers, and DC followed. That only makes business sense, even though not all customers would be happy with the decision.
- Alex P Says:
April 6, 2008 at 1:18 AMThe sales figures mentioned in the article indicate that B&B is now selling at the same level as Booster Gold; it's just that Booster Gold hasn't experienced as great of a drop. But no one seems to be concerned about the under-performance of Booster Gold even though it has two big names attached to it (Johns & Jurgens – Jurgens still counts, right?). It could be that B&B has reached its sales level.
Given the solicits, future issues appear to be done-in-one's. This would address one of the concerns. Waid has said in interviews that he specifically chose Batman & Green Lantern & Supergirl as the main characters of his first few issues based on how well their respective comics were selling at the time he was writing the stories. As the series has progressed he's chosen less popular characters and the sales have reflected this. B&B 7 had Wonder Woman & Power Girl on the cover and sold about the same as the issue of Wonder Woman that came out that month.
This makes me come to the somewhat obvious conclusion that much of the sales are determined by who is on the cover. If Waid wanted to correct this, he could write more stories w/ Batman. But why should he? He already has another job that surely pays better and he'd rather tell the stories that he wants to tell.
What I find really fascinating from the sales figures is how well Superman/Batman is performing. I've never read a single word of praise for this comic and all the scans I've seen look atrocious. You can see why DC execs would be dismissive towards blogosphere cognescenti when a title like that is one of their better performing comics.
- Johanna Says:
April 6, 2008 at 7:50 AMThanks for doing those comparisons — very interesting. When it comes to sales figures, it's not just the numbers but also the expectations. Two books can both sell (let's say) 30K, but if the company expected one to be doing over 50, then it'll be seen as a failure… and if the expectations were higher, the costs might be higher, too, so it may be more expensive to maintain.
And you're right, that characters still matter a lot more than creators or content when it comes to superhero books.
- Kenny Says:
April 7, 2008 at 12:02 PMJohanna,
I can be kinda snobby at times regarding comics, but that being said, I don't know that I agree with any comment that implies people are stupid for not reading a given title. I don't necessarily think B&B is appealing *only* to intelligent readers, or that people reading, say "Booster Gold" or "Blue Beetle" in lieu of B&B aren't intelligent.
I honestly think Waid just isn't as popular as he once was and therefore isn't driving sales like he once did. The bait and switch DC did with him on "The Flash" didn't really set the sales charts on fire, so why would there be an expectation for B&B to do the same?
DCU books aren't really selling at spectacular levels – I think the highest seller has been JLA with 70K copies a month – and I think that's the reason for B&B's low sales.
I don't think there are many people on this island with me, but I've long felt the superhero reading audience is shrinking and manga is the new mainstream. As a result, I don't think a book with an old school feel is going to sell well.
- Johanna Says:
April 7, 2008 at 6:08 PMI didn't pick up on that assumption, Kenny, but I can see what you mean. I took it more as addressing how some of the biggest DC stories lately have been unintelligent, by which I mean rely on willful blindness or readers turning off their brains. They fall apart if you look at them or expect consistency. I didn't intend any insult to readers with different opinions.
And yeah, the Flash situation was very disappointing, especially with an artist so ill-suited to sequential storytelling.
- Jim Perreault Says:
April 8, 2008 at 6:54 AMI'm surprised no one has said this, but maybe the book is just too retro. The book started out strong, but the last couple of issues have been very old school. The Atom/Hawkman one in particular felt very odd to me, and quite different from their respective books.
I still think it is a good book, but am not surprised to hear that it is not doing well.
- The Ettatorial for the Week of 5-21-08 | Project Silence Says:
May 24, 2008 at 9:22 PM[…] the last of my picks for the week is Brave and the Bold #13. While online talk of the book recently have been about it's sales, I'm not going to go into that […]
- Morgan Says:
June 1, 2008 at 4:41 PMThe first six issues were a stunning story arc and comic tour-de-force. Obviously Waid and Perez had the kicked around the concept thoroughly from beginning to end. It was A-1 comics.
Afterwards, not so much. The title started to coast. Mini-stories that were pretty to look at and not horrible to read, but nothing of substance. The "threat" of a created-out-of-thin-air cosmic villain never gelled.
Then Perez left and the coasting slammed to a jerky halt. I read the grand finale to the Megistus Crisis (YAWN). I barely made it thru the inane drivel of issue. B&B is off my list.

@lighth0se33 – It's great for employees to have concern for each other, but you have to be careful that they don't get too close. I've had many interoffice relationships destroy good teams, so dating is not allowed at my company.
It may seem harsh, but I've just had too many bad experiences with it in the past. If one person breaks up with another, there is just too much bad blood there for them to ever work together productively again. Someone has to be fired or quit.


text: Just in case there was any question as to why the Herald ran Tomase's fiction earlier this year, this may shed some light on the Herald's business plan and their editor's decision making process. Though this is not about Tomase and the Walsh story, I think it's pertinent because it does give a glimpse in to how the paper is perceived by others, and what they decide to publish - and where they get that info. Here's a link to the full story, which involved a source of the Herald's - the one and only National Enquirer - to settle a lawsuit for publishing false and defamatory stories.

Milwaukee dropped a 7-6 decision to Houston in Friday's opener while St. Louis was winning against Washington, which pushed the Brewers to five games back of the Cardinals in the chase for the final National League postseason berth. Each team has five games remaining. Houston's Jason Castro tallied his first career multi-homer game in the win. Brett Wallace and Castro hit back-to-back blasts in the fifth inning for the Astros, who have won four of their last seven contests. Edgar Gonzalez (3-1) surrendered three runs on four hits over 5 2/3 frames to pick up the win, while Yovani Gallardo (16-9) allowed five runs - four earned - on eight hits and three walks for Milwaukee. Estrada has started in 22 of his 28 appearances this season and had won four of his last five decisions before falling, 12-2, at Washington in his most recent appearance on Sept. 24. In that game, he allowed six earned runs on eight hits in just four innings as his earned run average crept up from 3.56 to 3.87. In two starts prior, he'd beaten Atlanta and Pittsburgh on Sept. 11 and 19 while tossing 13 2/3 scoreless innings and striking out 10 while allowing seven hits and walking two. He last faced Houston on Aug. 11 and got a no-decision in a 6-5 Milwaukee loss after allowing four runs in four innings. In eight career meetings with the Astros he's posted a 4.34 ERA in 18 2/3 innings. Houston goes with rookie lefty Dallas Keuchel, who's aiming for a third consecutive victory. The 24-year-old was 1-7 through his initial 13 starts before beating Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in his last two outings while giving up a run on nine hits in 12 1/3 innings. He met Estrada and the Brewers in the aforementioned Aug. 11 game and also got a no-decision after allowing two earned runs in six innings. Two starts earlier against Milwaukee, he was tagged for seven runs in four innings of a 10-1 loss at Miller Park. The Brewers won eight of the initial 14 games between the teams in 2012, though Houston won two of three in a home series from Aug. 10-12. 09/29 10:29:49 ET |

Dave is another year older, officially.
by Leslie
He told me he's getting too old to wear baseball caps. But he's not too old for a baseball birthday cake!
(Side question: When are you too old for a baseball birthday cake? Answer: Never.)
Okay, technically it is not a baseball cake. Rather, it is a baseball cupcake configuration. It's a ball in a glove, so saith Pinterest.
Dave may be feeling old, but he doesn't seem like it to me. Our home is at its liveliest when he's around. He's always up for a game or wrestling with the kids. We laugh so much. He's fun. He makes me feel young.
He's made a simple life feel like an adventure. I can't wait to see what's next.
Our 10th Wedding Anniversary
by Leslie
(Described in the style of If You Give A Moose a Muffin by Laura Numeroff.)
If you give a wife a weekend at one of her favorite places…
…she'll want the kids to go along. So, you'll rent a cottage.
When you arrive, the kids will remind you that cottage guests can swim in the pool at the lodge. You'll go there after you check in.
You'll feel thankful you asked your mother-in-law to come along and help with the kids. You'll send her to the spa for a massage and pedicure the next morning. Your wife will want to go with her.
The kids will want to go somewhere special, too. You'll take them to ride horses.
When the rides are finished, they'll want to go to the zoo. But it will be very cold and windy. So you'll visit The Children's Museum instead.
When the museum closes, the kids will be very hungry and tired. You'll order them pizza and buy the movie Frozen on iTunes so they can watch it with their grandma at the cottage while you, finally, get to take your wife out, just the two of you.
While you're out, you'll reminisce about the past ten years. You'll talk about the kids. Talking about the kids will make your wife miss them. And chances are, she'll want to go back to the cottage so you can share the rest of your anniversary with them, too.
This is 41.

Thanksgiving Highlights
by Leslie
Julia made the buckeyes by herself for the first time this year.
(I think she might have sampled a few along the way.)
Lucy was the official "turkey paster."
Bee was a whirling dervish who insisted on wearing a fancy dress because she felt special, but refused to brush her hair or wash the chocolate off her face.
And Jack soaked up some quality time with his dad.
The kids were excited to use the "fancy" glasses at our meal, which was delicious.
After, we waddled to the living room and settled in to watch one of my all-time favorite movies – Planes, Trains and Automobiles. When it was finished, Julia said, "Hey, wait. No one move. We're all here."
Julia was in her dad's lap. Lucy was in my mom's. Bee was in my dad's. And Jack was in mine.
"No one move. Let's watch something else together."
And so we did.
I have a lot to be grateful for today, but there is nothing greater than this.
My Best Friend
by Leslie
When I was in high school I had a poster on my closet door that listed suggestions for success by H. Jackson Brown, Jr., the guy who wrote Life's Little Instruction Book. The first item on the list:
Marry the right person. This one decision will determine 90% of your happiness or misery.
I think this might be true.
No one makes me happier.

Breakstone kept half of that promise, she claims. The tree next to Martin's home is still there. But the 1930s Mediterranean home on La Gorce, built by illustrious Miami Beach architect John Pancoast, was destroyed, infuriating the Martins and preservation-oriented residents.
"The whole neighborhood was really upset," she says. "We had taken these liars at their word." In place of the Pancoast home, Breakstone constructed what Martin loathingly calls "a pumpkin-orange McMansion." But in front of her own house, she placed another sign. This one read "Thanks for Saving This Tree."
"They [Breakstone] stole that sign, and I watched 'em do it," Martin charges. "One late afternoon, I was out in my yard and heard 'em laughing. They didn't know I was there. They took it down, ripped it apart, and threw it in their Dumpster."
Martin called the police. And made yet another batch of signs. These read "Boycott Breakstone Homes." When about 50 signs went up in her neighborhood, Breakstone sued Martin. "They're saying the word 'boycott' is slanderous," she explains, incredulous.
An angry Martin countersued, accusing Breakstone of extortion, theft, vandalism, and trespass. The suit alleges the builder continued to throw construction debris on her property, tore down a fence, and even loosened lug nuts on her car's wheels. Both suits are still pending. Last November, Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Jennifer Bailey held Breakstone in contempt for blocking the Martins' driveway and placing construction debris on their property, violating an earlier court order.
Builder Noah Breakstone says: "[Colleen Martin] happens to be a lovely person. I really think it was just a situation of miscommunication -- a huge misunderstanding. Everything's been fine as far as we're concerned. There were some issues in the past," he concedes, adding that Breakstone made substantial concessions to save the tree next door. "We went back to the people to whom we'd sold the house and said, 'We need to redesign this home to have a happy neighbor.'" Now, he says, he's not sure where his firm stands within the tangled legalese surrounding his company and the Martins. But Martin demurs, big time: "I'll tell you one thing. Everything's not fine as far as I'm concerned! They threatened the wrong person."
"I know there's a pending suit and it's probably moving forward," the cosmopolitan Breakstone says unflappably. "And my life is moving on."
Breakstone Homes, in the business of constructing new luxury single-family dwellings in South Florida, aims at the very wealthy. Its buildings start at about $650,000 and go way up. Noah Breakstone insists the houses he builds are compatible with their surroundings. "My company is just trying to be good neighbors. We're not looking to put high-rises on single-family sites, that's not what we're about," he counters. "We just deliver what people look for."
Martin remains unimpressed. "We have something so unique and it's disappearing house by house," she says. "Breakstone has been buying up lots left and right, destroying the houses on them and building zero lot-line, cookie-cutter houses. It's so sad."
But it's not just deep-pocketed developers like Breakstone that Martin and Miami Beach will be wrestling with. There are also rogues like Franz Reuther, who wants to build a huge home on his newly scraped lots. To punish Reuther and deter others, this month the City Commission passed a new ordinance that would limit any new construction on the site to the size of the original structure.
"Therefore, there's no incentive to knock down a historic house," declares Mitch Novik, head of the Historic Preservation Board, optimistically. "He's not going to be able to develop the site as he wishes. He will be restricted." The city's special master, or dispute handler, fined Reuther $16,400 for the illegal demolition on North Bay Road, a sum unlikely to harm him. Under the name Frank Farian, the German millionaire concocted the infamous Milli Vanilli scam. "What he did was a pretty callous act," continues Novik. "But these things are part of the municipal experience in terms of lessons learned." Martin's tentative forays into local politics include her membership on the Preservation Board, which established firm guidelines for deconstruction that Reuther flagrantly ignored just weeks after the City Commission passed the ordinance preventing demolition for single-family homes built before 1942. But she maintains that she's not seeking public office or notoriety as a crusader against developers.
"I just wanted to save a tree," Martin concludes, her voice nearing a screech. "[Breakstone] thinks that because they're big and have money they can do whatever they want without consequences. I'm surprised I've gotten as far as I have, but it's because I don't like to be threatened. I don't take it. I've put people in jail for 65 years who are certainly going to come after me in an unhappy way. Do you think I'm afraid of a stupid builder? I'm the only one who was willing to take the extreme harassment to do what I believe in. Somebody has to stand up to people who think they can just walk all over everybody and do what they want without recourse. And if that person has to be me, then I guess that's why I live here."

Cyclophilins are cis-trans-peptidyl-prolyl isomerases that bind to and are inhibited by the immunosuppressant cyclosporin A (CsA). The toxic effects of CsA are mediated by the 18-kDa cyclophilin A protein. A larger cyclophilin of 40 kDa, cyclophilin 40, is a component of Hsp90-steroid receptor complexes and contains two domains, an amino-terminal prolyl isomerase domain and a carboxy-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domain. There are two cyclophilin 40 homologs in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, encoded by the CPR6 and CPR7 genes. Yeast strains lacking the Cpr7 enzyme are viable but exhibit a slow-growth phenotype. In addition, we show here that cpr7 mutant strains are hypersensitive to the Hsp90 inhibitor geldanamycin. When overexpressed, the TPR domain of Cpr7 alone complements both cpr7 mutant phenotypes, while overexpression of the cyclophilin domain of Cpr7, full-length Cpr6, or human cyclophilin 40 does not. The open reading frame YBR155w, which has moderate identity to the yeast p60 homolog STI1, was isolated as a high-copy-number suppressor of the cpr7 slow-growth phenotype. We show that this Sti1 homolog Cns1 (cyclophilin seven suppressor) is constitutively expressed, essential, and found in protein complexes with both yeast Hsp90 and Cpr7 but not with Cpr6. Cyclosporin A inhibited Cpr7 interactions with Cns1 but not with Hsp90. In summary, our findings identify a novel component of the Hsp90 chaperone complex that shares function with cyclophilin 40 and provide evidence that there are functional differences between two conserved sets of Hsp90 binding proteins in yeast.
