Folk Music Icon Pete Seeger Dies at 94
His recording of 'Tzena Tzena' brought sounds of Israel to Americans in 1950
Pete Seeger, the singer and songwriter who helped define folk music for a new generation, and for whom a call to political action informed his music, has died at 94. Seeger's music championed causes spanning decades; according to his New York Times obituary, "He sang for the labor movement in the 1940s and 1950s, for civil rights marches and anti-Vietnam War rallies in the 1960s, and for environmental and antiwar causes in the 1970s and beyond." His political ties drew the attention of authorities during the McCarthy era—he was subpoenaed by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1955, and indicted on 10 counts of contempt of Congress in 1957.
In 1949 Seeger founded The Weavers with Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert, and Fred Hellerman, and the group's recordings of Lead Belly's "Goodnight Irene," as well as Woody Guthrie's "So Long (It's Been Good to Know Yuh)," quickly became folk standards. Ari Y. Kelman wrote in these pages in 2011 about The Weaver's unlikely influence on Zionism and their role in introducing Israel to a generation of young Americans with their 1950 recording of the popular Israeli folk song, "Tzena Tzena." The song made its way onto Tablet's 2012 list of 100 Greatest Jewish Songs.
Whether through sheet-music reprints or its inclusion on the Haganah album, the original Hebrew version of "Tzena Tzena" then landed in the hands of Pete Seeger of the Weavers. Seeger, the son of Harvard musicologist Charles Seeger, already had a notable folk-singing career playing duets with blues legend Leadbelly and later teaming up with Woody Guthrie to form the politically progressive Almanac Singers. Unlike Guthrie and Leadbelly, Seeger was not much of a writer, but he committed himself to developing a vision and canon of American folk music, which he later expanded to include a world unified by folk music. He explained that he would craft performances so they included "a few songs from other countries, hinting at the different types of people in this big world."

Consumer Guidance Society of India (CGSI), a city-based NGO on Monday unearthed a huge edible oil adulteration racket carried by several shops. CGSI in a meeting claimed that almost 64% of the loose edible oil (namely sesame oil, coconut oil, groundnut oil, mustard oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed, soybean, godtel), is mixed with palm oil, thus putting the consumer's interest at stake.
Dr Sitaram Dixit, chairman, CGSI and Dr MS Kamath, secretary, CGSI, who headed the meeting said that their team has collected as many as 269 samples that were sent for testing. Of the collected samples, almost 64% tested positive for adulteration with inexpensive palmolein oil.
Kamat, while addressing the media said that this affected the poor the most, who purchase loose oil from the local shops. They believe that the oil they buy is pure, however, they fail to realize that they have been cheated by the shopkeepers to earn profit from the adulterated oil.
"Luckily, there is no dangerous substances found in the samples, but majority of the oil samples contained cheap palmolein. We want the state government to withdraw the government resolution that it passed in 2013, to allowed the sale of loose oil," said Dr Kamath.
Meanwhile, Dr Dixit said that small quantities of oil should be sold in small saches.
Dr Kamat also said that they have raised the issue with the Food and Drug Association and that they have promised to take the necessary action and urged the state to immediately cancel the GR or at least not to renew it, when it lapses in October 2014.

Geforce 4 MX420 on Red Hat 9.0
Would the latest update from Nvidia allow me to use the Geforce 4 MX420 on RH 9.0? If so, would RH even display before i installed it?
I tried to get Mandrake up and running a while back before the new patch, but Mandrake wouldnt recognize the card. At first my cursor wouldnt show up, then the computer wouldnt display. Forget about the Mandrake thing, i was just mentioning it because i really dont want it to happen again.
Sorry about my English, it isnt my native language :afro2:
Heres a new version of the question:
Will RH 9.0 work with a Geforce 4 MX 420? I see in the hardware compatability list that Geforce 4 is listed, but nothing about the MXs.
so i guess no one knows...
:( :( :(
Not sure...but it runs fine on the GF4 440 Go in my Dell notebook.... I think that is close to the same chip...
Best I can do.....

Obama to create cyber czar in awareness effort
WASHINGTON The Obama administration is creating a "cyber czar" within the White House to coordinate the nation's computer security. Critics already say the post will not have enough authority to haul the government into the digital age.
Government and private industry need to better protect the nation's computer networks, the White House warns in a plan to be rolled out Friday as the administration sets broad goals for dealing with cyber threats.
President Barack Obama is expected to say that cyber security is a top priority of the administration and to call for a new education campaign to raise public awareness of the challenges and threats cyber security involves.
Completed six weeks ago, the much-anticipated cyber report has been delayed because policymakers in and outside the White House have been at loggerheads over how much power and budget-making authority the new office will have.
According to officials familiar with the discussions, the cyber czar would be a special assistant to the president and would be supported by a new cyber directorate within the National Security Council. The cyber czar would also work with the National Economic Council, said the officials, who described the plan on condition of anonymity because it has not been publicly released.
The special assistant title is not as high in the White House hierarchy as some officials sought. It would not give the czar direct, unfettered access to the president. Instead, the official would report to senior NSC officials – a situation many say will make it difficult to make major changes within the calcified federal bureaucracy.
Government and military officials have acknowledged that U.S. computer networks are constantly assailed by attacks and scans, ranging from nuisance hacking to more nefarious probes and attacks. Some suggest that the actions at times are a form of cyber espionage from other nations, such as China.
Federal officials and corporate leaders familiar with the review say it will urge private industry to better protect networks against hackers and cyber criminals. The plan will call for accountability from both the government and industry in ensuring the security of the nation's networks.
The study will depict the U.S. as a digital nation that needs to provide the education required to keep pace with technology, and attract and retain a cyber-savvy work force.
But the review does not explicitly dictate how the government or private industry should tighten digital defenses. Critics say the cyber czar will not have sufficient budgetary and policymaking authority over securing computer systems and spending.
Dale Meyerrose, a retired Air Force major general now vice president at Harris Corp., said the administration needs to improve the ways government agencies use and secure their computer systems and how they spend their budgets.
The White House, Meyerrose said, needs "to empower this person to solve the problems." But, he added, "this is an initial step and to expect it to completely change how we run government is asking way too much."
Because of lingering uncertainty over the cyber czar's authority and presidential access, several contenders for the post took themselves out of the running, according to one former administration official.

John Lennon was "the smart one," Paul McCartney was "the cute one," George Harrison was "the quiet one," but Stuart Sutcliffe was the one who fell in love in Germany during the fall of 1960.
This week marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Sutcliffe, long described as "the fifth Beatle," and next month sees the North American release of Baby's in Black (First Second Books), Arne Bellstorf's graphic novel about the romance between Sutcliffe and German photographer and artist Astrid Kirchherr and its tragic brevity.
Bellstorf documents their relationship but also touches on The Beatles themselves as they were just trying to make it as a band in the early 1960s — with Pete Best on drums, before Ringo Starr joined the group — playing any and every bar they could and engaging in some youthful shenanigans here and there.
The pre-moptoppers had a residency at one German hangout in Hamburg, and that's where Astrid met Stuart, the group's bass player, and fell in love. She also fostered a friendship with the other Beatles and candidly captured the musicians with her camera.
Unfortunately, Astrid and Stuart's love affair didn't have a happy ending — they were engaged when Stuart died of a brain hemorrhage, months after he quit the band to study at a German art school.
The Beatles had been broken up for nine years by the time Bellstorf was born in 1979. Like many kids in that generation and later, "it is practically impossible to grow up without hearing at least one Beatles song," he says. "My parents had those red and blue compilation records (The Beatles/1962-1966 and The Beatles/1967-1970), and my image of them as a band and my first idea of the '60s clearly arise from these records."
Originally from Dannenberg, Germany, Bellstorf has been living in Hamburg for more than 10 years — his grandparents lived there, too, until they lost their flat and all their possessions during the Second World War. He wanted to explore the city's history and culture, especially what it was like being young and German in the '60s, and immerse himself in tales of European beatniks and bohemians.
Eventually, Bellstorf came across Kirchherr's photos from that time and read about her connection with The Beatles, from her improving their fashion sense to her influence on their hairstyles that would launch hordes of American teenage girls into screaming fits. He met with her, they found they shared a great deal in common — including attending the same art school — and Bellstorf wanted to tell her story in a way that corresponded with her attitude.
"I could relate to her youth in many ways," Bellstorf says. "We both tend to think in pictures, she's a very visual person, and she basically liked the idea of seeing her story being told in little black-and-white panels.
"There was a kind of mutual confidence between Astrid and I from the very beginning, and I soon felt comfortable with telling 'her' story," he says. "I mean, love is such a universal thing, and of course I was touched by her tragic love story and could relate to this existential experience of losing someone so young."
Kirchherr's pictures proved essential for Bellstorf, especially in capturing the esthetics and black-and-white world of Baby's in Black — also the title of a Beatles track that was supposedly about or inspired by Astrid since black was her favourite colour, even before Sutcliffe's death.
"Even if you don't know the song and what it's about, it sounds like a tragic love song — which I found absolutely fitting for the story," Bellstorf says.
Kirchherr was open to any and all questions Bellstorf had, he says, but he never set out to write an intimate love story. They were a deeply romantic couple, but they didn't talk much, since Kirchherr was slowly learning English at the time. Bellstorf found it interesting how their love was defined not by language or nationality, but through appearances, their look and their attitude.
"Astrid often explained that she felt like she'd found her soulmate," he says. "This sounds like something you believe when you're 20, but Astrid still says that Stuart was the love of her life, and although she was married twice later on, she never felt the same as with Stuart."
To many, Sutcliffe is a mythical character because of his short life and early impact on what would become a full-fledged worldwide phenomenon, but Bellstorf doesn't think fans will get much more insight into the man with his book. He left the group before The Beatles became the band we all know, and he died before he became the artist he always wanted to be.
"He had just begun to live the life he wanted to live, with Astrid, painting and dreaming of the Parisian Boheme," Bellstorf says. "But knowing Stuart definitely helps to understand where The Beatles came from, where John Lennon came from and maybe even why he was trying to fulfil his artistic dreams — with (Yoko Ono) a foreign girl not unlike Astrid — when he had already achieved everything a musician could ever dream of."
Bellstorf definitely considers Baby's in Black a tragic love story, although less because of the way Sutcliffe died and more in that it was so sudden and he was so young, before he and Kirchherr could venture off to Paris and get married.
He wanted to capture that in his unconventional ending, where the reader never sees Stuart suffering but definitely feels his loss from the story.
"I wanted to depict how Astrid felt, and how suddenly everything fell apart," Bellstorf says. "She said she never thought about death. It sounded to me like irony of fate.
"For her, being influenced by French existentialism, his sudden death must have been the most existential, absurd experience she had made so far. The story of Stuart's life, their love story — unlike the successful story of The Beatles — seems to be so senseless in its abrupt ending."

Personal Porter
Included in your tour cost is the assistance of a personal porter to carry your main kit. Please note that there is a weight limit of 10Kilograms for personal belongings carried by the porters as they will also carry your food packs. Any additional items will need to be carried by the trekkers themselves in day-packs – each day you will be asked to carry your own water and one day's food pack as well as personal items such as your camera, guidebook etc.
We include a 1:1 trekker to Porter ration to promote relationship building between porters and trekkers. Our aim is to provide greater employment opportunities for porters as well as ensuring that all SSH-BHMT trekkers complete the trek from start to finish. Our intention is that relationship building between the trekkers and the porters becomes one of the most important experiences of the trip, reflecting the wartime bonds between Australian troops and the Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels.
You should try to travel as lightly as possible. Your total belongings should weigh no more then 12 kilograms (backpack and day pack combined). We use charter flights to Kokoda and weight is restricted to the small aircraft used. When you start training you should commence with less weight than you plan to carry on the trek and slowly build up.
We start our trek walking from Kokoda to Ower's Corner. There is, however, much more to this trek than just the historical war ruins. There is the fascinating cultural experience of interacting with the indigenous people known as "Koairi" and "Oro Kaivans." There is the challenge and adventure created by rugged mountain terrain and fast flowing streams. Papua New Guinea is famous for its spectacular scenery and unusual wildlife. In addition to all this there is the reward of interaction in a small group of people working together for a common purpose and the individual satisfaction of mastering the physical difficulties of the track.
No. Most can achieve the track with adequate training, guidance and willpower. It is important that a certain level of health and fitness be attained prior to the trip. Each person should undertake some form of regular physical exercise for a period of time prior to departure. Please see detailed notes in the Pre-Departure info provided by South Sea Horizons.
General Cardio-vascular fitness can be built up by any form of exercise that raises the heart rate for a period of time; some form of specific exercise should also be done to build up the leg muscles. The best exercise for this walking up and down steep hills using the boots that you will be using to walk the track. After a while you should add your backpack with some weight in it. Slowly build the weight up to no more than 12 kilos. This is the maximum weight that can be carried with ease on the steep hills of the track.
Yes. You need to be in prime form physical condition to have a chance of completing this trek. In fact it is mandatory that you see a local GP before booking this trip and get a medical certificate to walk this challenging trek.
Yes. On previous crossing we have always found items that have been hidden in the jungle. The local people often find them while they are clearing new garden areas and bring them out for us to see. Around the fire at night some of the older people along the track quite often tell stories from the war.
Yes, the track is isolated and backup medical and rescue services are not easily available. We have drawn up a contingency plan for evacuation from along the track in the unlikely event of a serious problem occurring. The focal point of any communication with the outside is our satellite telephone and two way radio.
It can be. It often depends on unpredictable seasonal conditions. Most of out crossings have only had one or two days of rain in the total crossing time. Our trips are scheduled at the time of the year to catch the most stable weather conditions but it can still be very wet every now and then. This can make the trip very difficult. It is possible for the streams to flood and we carry suitable equipment for safe crossing once they drop to levels that are not dangerous. Malaria is present and all walkers will be required to take suitable medication by medical prescription to prevent contracting the illness.
The urban centers do have a bad security problem. For this reason we do not stay in them for long. Your guides are familiar with the main urban centers and are expected at avoiding trouble for the short time that we are there. The Kokoda Track itself is the safest walking trail in PNG. Its inhabitants are devout Christians who are famous for their hospitality and kindness.
In Port Moresby we stay in a quality hotel called the Lamana Hotel. It is well fenced, with security guards on patrol day and night. While trekking we stay in local village guesthouses where possible. They are simple buildings made from local material. We use our sleeping mats to make the floor a comfortable spot to sleep. Showers are had in the mountain streams and the toilets are pit type with surrounding walls. Some of the guesthouses do provide mattresses and sheets to sleep in.
We provide food packs for each trekker, which are, distributed daily. All the food that is provided is from Port Moresby's finest supermarket "Boroko Food World." Most goods are imported from countries such as Australia and transported to PNG. Meals are also occasionally supplemented using fruit and vegetables from the villages that we pass through. You will be asked to pay for your own hotel meals (excluding breakfast) in Port Moresby and Rabaul. All other meals are included in the cost of the expedition. Local food consists of various combinations of the following: rice, pasta, sweet potato, potato, yams, corn, taro, oranges, mandarins, cabbage, bananas, pineapples, paw paws, sago, and coconut. Clients who have special dietary requirements should discuss with us their specific needs well in advance of departure so that we can plan food that is suitable for you.
Cost of local produce: Bowls of fruit and vegetables range between PGK5.00 to PGK10.00
No! Doing the trek over 9 days is designed to allow our trekkers to walk on average about 6 hours per day. This way trekkers will be able to enjoy the culture and the people from village to village. The first few days are hard going mainly due to the fact that your body must acclimatize to the humidity and also the toughness of the terrain. This tour program allows for our our trekkers to enjoy exploring, sleeping, reading, trout fishing, bird watching o viewing war ruins.
Papua New Guinea is a fascinating country because of its cultural, geological and biological diversity. During our trip we will see tribal dancing, stunning volcanic features, and a range of plant, animal and bird life that will inspire you to learn more about the natural history of Papua New Guinea.
Please ensure that you have a current passport, with an accurate photo, that is valid for at least six months after your scheduled return home. Also check your airline tickets are in exactly the same name as your passport. Some countries may require that you have a return air ticket, or have sufficient funds to purchase such a ticket.
On all our holidays you must have comprehensive travel insurance that covers you for medical costs associated with hospitalization, emergency travel and repatriation back to your home country. Please take your insurance policy with you when you travel. Dive Adventures is able to recommend a policy to you. You may take other cover, of course, but we require you to be adequately insured before we can allow you to participate in our programs. Your SSH leader will need to see and record your policy details at the pre-tour briefing, so please bring a copy along to the meeting. If you arrive without travel insurance your tour leader will require you to purchase a policy before you continue your journey with us.
If you are covered by a policy arranged through your credit card company you will be asked to provide evidence of this cover, as well as a 24-hour emergency contact number. Many credit card companies do not provide an insurance policy number. In this instance, the tour leader will need to record your credit card number, as this is required to activate any request for emergency assistance. You should also bring along the travel insurance information booklet provided by your credit card company. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the requirements set out by your credit card company in order to be effectively covered and that the cover offered is of a suitable standard.
All nationalities currently require a visa for Papua New Guinea – this is obtainable upon arrival at the airport. Please confirm
Please consult your doctor or nearest vaccination centre to see if any of the listed vaccinations are required: This list by no means complete and only your doctor or vaccination center can provide you with the latest up-to-date information:
Typhoid, Polio, Tetanus, Smallpox, Gamma Globulin or Harvix (against Hepatitis A), Hep B, Yellow Fever and Meningitus.
Malaria is prevalent in many tropical areas of Asia and pacific. Please advise your doctor which regions you will be visiting and discuss the necessary medication with them. All Anti-malarial tablets are taken for a period before possible exposure and continued for a period after such exposure ceases, and should be taken carefully according to instructions. It is possible that the people in your group may be taking different anti-malarial tablets. Be aware that some anti-malarial medication may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, and take extra care to ensure good use of sunscreens. A good insect repellent is advisable if visiting these religions, preferably one containing a high percentage of Deet.
Things you should know
Papua New Guinea is a developing country whose infrastructure, values, customs, and standards may differ from what you expect in your homeland. Expect poor road conditions and be prepared for some inconvenience. Sometimes the transport may be altered or the itinerary may be changed due to circumstances beyond our control.
This is an 'adventure trip' and we hope to expose you to all aspects of the local culture. Please be open-minded. It is important that you get comprehensive travel insurance, relevant vaccinations and prescription drugs to prevent infection from malaria.
Trekking the Kokoda Track is physically demanding. The 96km track is a narrow, uneven, muddy path with numerous steep inclines and declines. The climate is hot and himid. A high level of fitness is required and training is essential. Any training programme should consist of aerobic exercise, strength building and hiking up and down hills with a backpack. Although most people can complete the track with adequate training and willpower, we recommend that all trekkers consult their medical practitioner to undergo an exercise stress test prior to joining this trek. Those with risk factors such as obesity, smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or strong family history of cardiac disease should take extra precautions, or reconsider their decision to join this trek.
Vaccinations may be required for this trip. Please talk to your doctor about the up-to-date information for this region. We're travel experts, not doctors and defer to the medicos when it comes to inoculations.
Please ensure that you have all required visas for your trip – this is your responsibility. Rules and regulations governing the issuance of visas are constantly changing, and vary for different nationalities and you should check visa requirements with your travel agent or relevant consular authority well before travel.

This is a divisional of and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/148,723, filed Sep. 3, 1998, entitled "Methods of Bonding Solder Balls to Bond Pads on a Substrate," incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to methods of bonding solder balls to bond pads on a substrate, and to bonding frames.
As integrated circuitry becomes smaller and more dense, needs arise relative to the packaging and interconnecting of fabricated integrated circuitry devices. Concerns associated with increasing the speed with which integrated circuitry devices are packaged and the efficiency with which the devices are packaged drive the industry to find faster and more flexible systems and methods for packaging integrated circuitry. Specifically, one aspect of integrated circuitry packaging includes bonding conductive balls or solder balls on bond pads of a substrate for subsequent connection to packaging structure. Such is commonly referred to as solder ball bumping.
In the formation of solder-bumped substrates, solder ball material is provided over bond pads of a substrate supporting integrated circuitry thereon. If the substrates are to be flip-chip bonded to another substrate, it is important that the solder balls be of uniform size. Otherwise, some of the balls might not make desirable contact with the bond pads of the substrate to which it is to be bonded. This problem led to development of pre-formed solder balls which are formed to a specific common tolerance dimension such that all of the solder balls are essentially the same size. Hence, when the solder balls are bonded by solder melting/welding to substrates, each will essentially project from the outer substrate surface a common distance and accordingly make contact with all bond pads when being bonded.
This invention arose out of concerns associated with providing improved methods and apparatuses for packaging integrated circuitry.
Methods and apparatuses for bonding solder balls to bond pads are described. In one embodiment, portions of a plurality of solder balls are placed within a frame and in registered alignment with individual bond pads over a substrate. While the ball portions are within the frame, the balls are exposed to bonding conditions effective to bond the balls with their associated bond pads. In another embodiment, a frame is provided having a plurality of holes sized to receive individual solder balls. Individual balls are delivered into the holes from over the frame. The balls are placed into registered alignment with a plurality of individual bond pads over a substrate while the balls are in the holes. The balls are bonded with the individual associated bond pads. In another embodiment, a frame is provided having a hole. A solder ball is provided having an outer surface. The solder ball is retained within the hole in an ambient processing environment which is generally uniform over the entirety of the ball's outer surface. While the solder ball is within the hole, the solder ball is bonded with an associated bond pad on a substrate.
Preferred embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the following accompanying drawings.
This disclosure of the invention is submitted in furtherance of the constitutional purposes of the U.S. Patent Laws "to promote the progress of science and useful arts" (Article 1, Section 8).
Referring to
The solder balls can be provided into frame-supported positions in a variety of ways. In one embodiment, individual solder balls 16 are delivered into holes 14 from over frame 10, as
Referring to
Referring to
This embodiment also permits at least two solder balls 16 to be contemporaneously retained over different respective bond pads on substrate 20. In a preferred embodiment, frame 10 is moved to proximate substrate 20 before any of the balls are delivered into the holes. Subsequently, individual balls can be provided or delivered into the holes as described above.
In another embodiment, the solder balls are retained within each hole in an ambient processing environment which is generally uniform over the entirety of each ball's outer surface 18. Specifically, while each ball is retained within its associated hole and in registered alignment with an associated bond pad, the processing environment outwardly of each ball is generally uniform. That is, retaining each ball within its respective hole can take place without the use of any outside environment-changing conditions such as vacuum pressure and the like on only a portion of the respective balls. The balls are preferably inserted into their associated hole from a position within the ambient processing environment without separately and discretely providing a vacuum force against only portions of each ball during bonding. Such non-vacuum retention provides more flexibility and increases the simplicity with which the balls can be processed.
Once having been placed in proximity with their individual associated bond pads, the individual solder balls can be bonded with their bond pads. The balls can be bonded separately, or can be bonded all at once as through suitable heat processing. Such can take place in any suitable manner, with but two examples being described below in connection with
Referring to
In one laser-bonding embodiment (FIG. 5), laser bonding is effected by fixing the position of frame 10 and moving a laser beam 26 relative to the frame from ball-to-ball. In this way, a laser beam is moved relative to and between individual balls to engage each ball.
In another laser-bonding embodiment (FIG. 6), laser bonding is effectuated by flying the position of a laser beam 26 and moving frame 10 relative to the laser beam from ball-to-ball. In this example, frame 10 is moved in the direction of the arrow immediately below substrate 20. Accordingly, the three rightmost solder balls 16 have been reflowed by laser 26 while the four leftmost solder balls remain to be processed. Such comprises moving individual solder balls relative to a generally-fixed laser beam.
Referring to
In another aspect of the invention, a frame is provided having a plurality of ball-supporting features which maintain at least two balls in registered alignment with a substrate having bond pads thereon. In a preferred embodiment, the ball-supporting features comprise individual holes which extend through the frame and which are dimensioned to receive only one ball at a time. The holes are preferably disposed over the frame in a template-like orientation which matches the orientation of bond pads with which the solder balls are desired to be bonded. The inventive frames can enable a large number of solder balls to be simultaneously placed into bond pad-engaging positions where they can be subsequently bonded in a time-saving fashion.
Aspects of the invention enable solder balls to be placed with greater precision and in greater numbers than was previously possible. Such enables throughput to be increased and provides for better integrated circuitry packaging uniformity. In addition, solders balls can be placed and bonded in greater numbers on fluxless bond pads which can increase throughput by expediting processing.
In compliance with the statute, the invention has been described in language more or less specific as to structural and methodical features. It is to be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the specific features shown and described, since the means herein disclosed comprise preferred forms of putting the invention into effect. The invention is, therefore, claimed in any of its forms or modifications within the proper scope of the appended claims appropriately interpreted in accordance with the doctrine of equivalents.

As expected, Beyoncé blew it out of the water for her Brooklyn show on The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour and she got some help from her hubby Jay-Z!
At this point it's pretty much a given that whenever Jay or Bey performs in BK, their better half will also pop in for a surprise performance. Beyoncé's show Monday night at the Barclays Center was no exception, but that didn't make the guest appearance any less special.
The diva had just finished a quick performance of "Bow Down" when her hubby swaggered his way onto the stage to do his new track "Tom Ford" for the Beyhive. Instead of dancing around her hubby, Bey let Hov have center stage as she bopped along.

I'll have to return this suit for a size smaller. My daughter fits perfectly into Dolphins and TYR size 34. But size 34 torso was too long and my daughter didn't think it was snug enough. The suit seems to be well made, and the price was terrific.

Your comment has been posted.
Based on being 5' 2" 34-24-35 I got a size 30. I hope that helps some people with sizes because I totally guessed (the size chart did nothing for me). Thankfully my guess was dead on. The suit feels great and I wasn't in the water 2 minutes before I got a compliment on how pretty it was. For those used to more modest cuts, I will say that it is true to competition cut in that it's really high on the thighs. For the price, it's an awesome bargain :)
This suit is so cute! All my friends love this suit almost as much as I do! The only problem was that one day, I was at practice and sitting on the wall near the lane line and i went to go push off the wall and the back of my suit got caught on the lane line! The suit's stitching was pulled out a little bit, but it was more my fault than the suit's. It ripped slightly near the bottom, but nothing that a little sewing job couldn't fix! I've had this suit since the beginning of the season and there hasn't been any fading or stretching. I am 5" 7" and 115 lbs and I ordered a size 32. It took a little bit to get used to because i wasn't used to the type of suit, but it fit perfectly! it wasn't loose in any places and the straps didn't rub or pull on my shoulders, nor did it ride up in any unwanted places. Plus the pattern is super cute and flattering as well! This suit is awesome for its durability, pattern, and also for its price!
This felt tight at first but after wearing it, it's perfect. So far it hasn't worn out but it's only been about 4 weeks and the bottom is a bit looser. I hope it will hold up.
The top part of the swimsuit seems loose, and the bottom in the back creeps up significantly. I have gotten lots of compliments though on how pretty it is.
I love the colors! And the fabric is really nice and stretchy!
Great fit and made well
This suit fits well to the size we expected. It looks great on. I wish we could have one similar in a polyester material!
Daughter loves this suit. Fits good (she says).
I feel like this suit ran true to size, although I wasn't sure what size I needed so the one I ordered is a smidge too small. The suit is only lined in the front and the back single layer of fabric seems a bit thin for my tastes but the suit works well, fits well, doesn't ride anywhere it's not supposed to. So overall not a bad purchase for an extra swim suit for pool triathlon training.

Lo is 6 1/2 months before his 6 month check up because of late being seen. Well yesterday was a WIC appt where they did height and weight. His height was 29 5/8" and weight was 17 lbs 10 oz.
Well the Nutritionalist said that he was barely on the growth chart that they had. He was on it, so they aren't as concerned. But I have to do my best to keep him eating. I'm just always concerned of his sleeping/eating schedule. and nothing I seem to do improves it. I posted a long time ago his sleeping schedule. and it still hasn't improved.
Well he was below 20% for height weight compared together. Does anyone else have these concerns too about los weight? Or should I just drop it since he does eat.

Adam Furay, owner of the Delaware Music Academy, wanted something more than the typical recital for his students studying pop and rock music.
To do that, he's throwing out the recital in the alley on Saturday, August 9, when his students and three Columbus-based bands will perform at Delaware's first Rally In The Alley.
Furay said for his students, this is their first taste of "touring" as a band, something to simulate the goals of the young performers.
"(The students are) flipping out," he said. "This is a little bit more than just a recital. When you take music lessons anywhere, that's the best you can hope for – an informal concert for friends and family. We're skipping a few steps."
When Furay opened the Delaware Music Academy in 2013, his goal was to give his students the most opportunities available. He said the traditional recital wasn't enough for truly immersing his pop and rock students.
Furay worked with his instructors to form ROCKSHOP, a program designed for these students. The first two concerts were held at The Backstretch, 14 S. Sandusky St.
Both were a success, Furay said.
Then came the bad news: the annual music festival Jeff's Jam at Backstretch would be postponed this year, with the next one slated for 2015.
There was only one option: take ROCKSHOP to the streets - 27 W. William St., to be precise.
"Since Jeff's Jam wasn't happening this year, we decided to turn it into a festival instead of just a showcase," Furay said.
Seven of his students' bands will open for Columbus bands Three Ton Toad, The Fabulous Johnson Brothers and Bad Medicine, a tribute to Bon Jovi and Journey.
The Backstretch will provide food and a beer truck for concertgoers while the music plays.
Student bands begin performing at 4 p.m. The concert continues until 11:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door or can be pre-ordered at www.delawaremusicacademy.com.

Kate arrived at Bella's very small downtown loft at a quarter past seven. Bella seemed to have a talent for decorating on a budget, and the effect was very cozy. There were well-worn leather couches arranged around the small TV, and the tiny kitchen was painted a bright yellow.
"I like your place," Kate said admiringly.
"Oh, you're sweet. To be honest I can't wait to move out of this dump."
Bella led Kate into the bedroom, where she had laid out several outfit options for her new friend.
"Some of them might be a little big for you, but if worst comes to worst, we can pin them. So, see anything you like?"
"They're all so cute! You pick."
Bella grinned. "I was hoping you would say that."
She started holding up dress after dress to Kate's small frame. Once and a while she would murmur something like, "that's cute!" or "no, the color's wrong". Finally she held up a sleeveless white party dress with a black ribbon that cinched the waist. "Ah, this is it!" Bella exclaimed. Then she shoved Kate into the closet to change. When she emerged wearing the dress, she was gratified by Bella's delighted praise.
"You look so pretty! No wonder Henry Tilney is in love with you!"
Kate laughed. "His standards must be pretty low. I looked gross last night."
"Well, you can make up for it tonight. Now, let's figure out what shoes you are going to wear. I took the liberty of borrowing some shoes for you from work. You're a seven, right?"
Kate was impressed. "Yeah. Where do you work?"
"Just at small fashion distributor here in the city. Now…try these."
Several pairs later, they settled on simple black pumps that went well with the dress. Kate examined herself in the mirror and was impressed with the overall effect. She rarely had a chance to dress-up and found herself enjoying the experience. After Bella had squeezed herself into a vampy red halter dress, the girls were ready to set off.
"So where is this place?" Bella asked.
"He said his apartment was on 2nd West, right next to the TRAX."
Bella whistled
"What?" asked Kate.
"Let's just say that neighborhood doesn't exactly cater to the blue collar crowd."
"Oh." Kate started to rethink accepting Henry's invitation. "Hey, let's go back. I have no idea how to act at rich people's parties, they're gonna know that I'm pure plebe! It will be like that scene at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, when all the aliens point at Brooke Adams and start screeching because they can tell she's different!"
"Are you done?" Bella asked calmly as she hailed a cab. "This is going to be fine. You look amazing, and if that rich grease-monkey has any sense, he'll propose on the spot. And if not," she added, grinning, "I'm sure John would be happy to take his place."
Kate was spared from having to answer this because just then a yellow cab pulled to the curb and the girls clambered inside. Kate gave the driver the address, and they started speeding East, toward what Kate believed to be impending disaster.
The cab deposited them in front of a building that looked both classy and contemporary. Bella grabbed Kate's hand and pulled her inside.
They rode the elevator to the top floor. It did not go directly into the apartment, but left them in a short hallway with only one door at the end.
"Well, let's go!" Bella trilled.
Kate's fearless new friend marched down the hall and rapped on the door. They could hear very loud music booming from inside. A few seconds passed.
"Maybe they're not home," Kate joked lamely.
Suddenly the door opened to reveal Henry Tilney himself, looking smokin'. Kate had believed that he couldn't have looked better in his coveralls and boots. Obviously she had never seen him in a suit.
"Hi," he said, looking at Kate with genuine pleasure. "Come in."
The girls ducked inside the dark entryway. While taking their jackets Henry took the opportunity to surreptitiously admire Kate's borrowed dress, a liberty she was more than willing to allow. Just then two party guests began a boisterous, not to mention physical, conversation that attracted the notice of several bystanders.
"Make yourselves at home. I gotta go take care of this, and then I'll come find you." And with that he was gone, leaving Kate and Bella at the edge of the large living-room-turned-dance-floor. Almost immediately Bella drew the attention of several of the male guests, receiving glances that ranged from lascivious to downright wolfish. Had their places been reversed, Kate would have been mortified, but Bella seemed comfortable with the role of sex-object. She yanked Kate onto the dance-floor, and began gyrating in a way that had always eluded Kate. She often thought it looked like a sexually charged rain dance, only instead of precipitation and plentiful harvests, the participants were showered with venereal diseases and regret.
The gods must have received Bella's non-verbal plea because soon she was approached by a young man who looked just barely sober enough to be able to perform basic motor skills. Kate, not wanting to watch or participate in the grinding, exited the dance-floor.
Kate could not help but be disappointed. She had been so convinced that Bella and Derrick were involved, but her outrageous flirtation certainly put that notion to bed.
"Hey Kate, sorry to keep you waiting!" said a voice from behind her. Kate performed an about-face, just in time to see Henry approaching.
"You should be!" Kate mock-admonished, "How dare you behave like a good host instead of allowing one guest to monopolize your time!"
"Would it make you feel better if I told you that I gave up the chance to defend my beer pong championship title to come over and talk to you?"
Kate nodded solemnly. "Yes, I believe it would."
At this point they were joined by another girl, slightly older than Kate and certainly much better dressed. These are two qualities that rarely recommend any girl to other members of her sex, but there was something sweetly disinterested about this woman that Kate found inexplicably appealing. She exuded a sort of natural elegance which most people, including our heroine herself, are completely devoid.
"Kate," said Henry, "I want you to meet my sister, Nora."
"Oh, your sister!" said Kate, genuinely happy to meet anyone important to her handsome new friend. "Happy birthday! I hope you mind my crashing your party."
"Not at all," said Nora Tilney in a kind, quiet voice that seemed to reflect her personality, "I've been looking forward to meeting the girl from Hollywood. Henry told me all about your misadventure last night."
Kate ran a hand through her hair, looking embarrassed. "In my defense, the entertainment industry really glamorizes car maintenance. I thought if the guys from Top Gear could do it, it couldn't be that hard."
Nora laughed, but before she could respond, someone from across the room called Henry's name, as well as something about "the cuervo well running dry". Henry rolled his eyes, and after assuring them he would be back, started off in the direction of the ruckus.
Nora turned to Kate. "So Henry tells me you go to UCLA. What are you studying there?"
She was about to answer when Bella, with two other men in tow, nearly collided with her. "Girlfriend, I have been looking for you everywhere!" Noticing Nora, she asked, "Who is your friend?"
Kate made the introductions, made all the more awkward by the fact she did not know the names of Bella's new dance partners, and apparently neither did Bella.
"Listen, this guy knows about a party that is just a couple blocks from here. You wanna go?"
Kate did not.
"Well, do you mind, like, if I do?"
Kate did not.
"Well, ok, but you should totally call me tomorrow and we will go shopping or something. Are you going to be ok getting home by yourself? Ok, great. Bye sweetie!"
The two girls watched Bella go, Kate with embarrassment and Nora with relief.

League of Legends
Why do people still persistently start boots+3?
flask + ward is almost always the way to go in top lane now. Bottom lane depends on your opponent. I like starting longsword + 2 pots in most situations though. Exceptions being champs like vayne/kogmaw. Mid lane I still rune boots often, but if I'm rushing a tear I like flask+faerie charm+2 pots.
From: Noblesse_ | #009
But for bot lane, D-blade seems fine especially if I have a support with a heal. But I usually go boots + 4 cause that extra sustain does help as well as not needing to buy boots and having a faster upgrade.
D-blade is pretty much obsolete, because in bot lane, if you dont have potions you lose the lane. Its that simple.

Doran blades are not worth my time, and without fancy stuff i just stick to boots/pots.
Lets move mountains or mount movements.

I mean, if you want to risk it. Thats your decision, and its a good decision, but you have to know that it doesnt always work, and if it doesnt, you will be run out of your lane very quickly.

Flask is real good unless you just don't use mana then it might be kind of a waste I guess. Top lane you can still do cloth+5 for the defense. Mid lane I go dorans ring unless I REALLY fear the other person.

I play ADC a lot and still go boots +3 pots to open.
In a lane where your expecting aggression and harass its a good opener. As you are less dependent upon getting to the creep line to auto attack to get health back. Passive lane? Sure grab a doran or a Long Sword. Though Long Sword opener is probably better, get a faster jump on vamp/brutalizer/Phage
For Melee top laners, the only thing that matters about move speed is who has more. Not how much more, but who has more. If you don't start boots and your opponent does, he will stick to you like glue if you lose a trade.
It is all fine and dandy if you buy flask/wards/pots to help sustain in lane, but not if it means eating an extra 3 autos and a skill from your laning opponent if you ever make a trade.
Or, god forbid their jungler comes and you can't get away from the laner, because he started boots.
Having higher MS than your opponent early game means WALKING AWAY FROM TRADES. You can't under estimate how big an advantage that is, if you think the sustain from flask is worth getting chunked harder than you need to in a botched trade (or not being able to chunk your opponent as hard, should you win a trade) then you need to seriously assess your lane match up, and exactly how afraid you are of the other guy. Flask is just about the riskiest start you can do top lane if you're not a fairly hard counter to your opponent.
Mid lane boots are the same as they used to be, a way to dodge skill shots. If your opponent doesn't have skillshots, start a Dring, same as always, if they do, go boots. Good luck dodging karthus skittles if you walk into lane with 330 MS.
Bot lane it becomes personal preference. A Dblade is going to mean better farm, and better ability to trade, but a lot of people see Dblade's as lost money, since you are sinking about 300g that isn't coming back. I start Dblade with most bot lanes, but I always feel dirty doing it, and a lot of people prefer the sustain from pots to 5hp/auto, since you are harder to force out of lane (your sustain doesn't mean anything if you are at 250 HP and too afraid to walk up and auto attack creeps)
Support/Jungle have better things to buy.
Because I play Riven top and am actively trying to get first blood.
In space, no one can hear you rage.
i do it cuz my opponent does. and guess what, even with MS nerfed, if his is higher than yours, you don't get away....so you need equal or higher MS.
truth be told though I run different things on alot of champs. cloth/5 alot or saphire+pot on singed etc.etc.

Current Issues in Economics and Finance
Viewing the Current Account Deficit as a Capital Inflow
|December 1998Volume 4, Number 13
|JEL classification: F32, F41, F14
Authors: Matthew Higgins and Thomas Klitgaard
With the 1998 current account deficit approaching $225billion, attention is again focusing on the deficit's impact on U.S. jobs. Although a high deficit does adversely affect employment in export- and import-competing industries, it also means that considerable foreign capital is flowing into the United States, supporting domestic investment spending that stimulates growth and creates jobs.
