Stop. Listen. Paul Rodgers live. This was recorded at the release party in Memphis for Paul's solo project "The Royal Sessions" doing "I Can't Stand The Rain". And I've got goosebumps.
The song was originally recorded by Ann Peeples in 1973, and John Lennon called it "the best song ever" in a Rolling Stone interview.
This was recorded at the Stax Museum of American Folk in Memphis and you can feel the passion. I was thinking about Bob Seger's famous line "We're all Chuck's children" (Chuck Berry). Artists like Paul Rodgers embrace the soul roots of rock, and projects like this not only keep it alive, but kindle the fire inside for anyone who loves great music.
Paul Rodgers is a treasure. Can't say enough about this project – it's available everywhere (Paul's website). So take 4 minutes from your day and crank this up.

The Week Ahead: A Puerto Rican hero goes home
Jun 27, 2010, 11:52 PM EDT
There has been a lot of focus on Bobby Valentine as potentially being the next manager of the Florida Marlins, but lost in the shuffle is the interesting story of Marlins interim manager Edwin Rodriguez.
Rodriguez, who was promoted from the Marlins Triple-A affiliate in New Orleans just a week ago to replace the fired Fredi Gonzalez, is the first Puerto Rican to manage in the big leagues.
This seems surprising enough given Puerto Rico's baseball heritage, but it's true. And in an even cooler twist, Rodriguez will get to return home as a big league manager this week when his Marlins take on the New York Mets in a three-game series in San Juan starting on Monday.
Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria has been noncommittal when discussing his team's manager situation, saying "right now Edwin is the manager. We'll see what happens." Rodriguez appears to be well aware that his position is tenuous at best, and just plans to enjoy the ride while he can.
Rodriguez says he's flattered merely to have the chance to be part of a history-making event for his country.
It's the third time the Marlins — who have a large Latin following — have played a regular-season series in San Juan. They took two of three games from the Montreal Expos in 2003, then swept the Expos in 2004.
"I'm just excited to go there and share this moment with the country," Rodriguez said. "For many, many years, baseball people in Puerto Rico, they were questioning who's going to be the first and not only who, when it's going to happen. I think that's why it's so important for the people in Puerto Rico."
Rodriguez's home is actually closer to San Juan's Hiram Bithorn Stadium than the hotel where the Marlins will be staying, so this will be a true homecoming.
Ticket sales have reportedly been brisk since it became evident that Puerto Ricans could see one of their own calling the shots in a big-league dugout for the first time, and the significance isn't lost on the Florida clubhouse.
"We can't quite grasp the anticipation or the excitement that he's going through right now," Marlins second baseman Dan Uggla said. "Everyone dreams about going home and playing. It's got to be a very exciting time for him, and we're all very excited for him."
Let's hope Loria can hold off on naming a permanent manager for a few days and let Rodriguez enjoy this moment. Unless, of course, he wants to hire Rodriguez.
Phillies at Reds, June 28-30: Cincinnati keeps hanging in there, holding the slimmest of edges atop the NL Central. The Phillies are in third place in the NL East, but are 11-3 against NL Central teams. Things could get interesting in a hurry.
Dodgers at Giants, June 28-30: This intense rivalry is always entertaining, even more so though when both teams are in contention. The teams enter the week battling for second place, within shouting distance of the San Diego Padres.
Rays at Red Sox, June 29-30: It's only a two-game series, but it's a big one as both teams try to jockey for the No. 2 spot behind the Yankees in the AL East. The Rays are looking to regain their hitting strokes after a rough week that saw a dugout confrontation between B.J. Upton and Evan Longoria.
Rangers at Angels, June 29-July 1: The Angels have been resurging of late, trying to get back to the top of the AL West. But the Rangers enter the week with a four-game lead and are playing even better. This will be a true test for both teams.
Brewers at Cardinals, July 1-4: The Brewers don't appear to have the talent to truly contend, but they undoubtedly wouldn't mind causing some harm to their rivals' chances in this four-game series.

Leopard Racing's 2016 Plans - Joan Mir To Moto3, Move Up To Moto2?
The Leopard Racing team today announced that they have signed Joan Mir to race for them in Moto3 in 2016. The 18-year-old Spaniard is currently racing in the FIM CEV series, the former Spanish championship, for the Leopard Racing junior team, and has impressed in the class winning two races already this season. Before switching to the CEV, Mir raced in the Red Bull Rookies Cup, where he was regarded as one of the stronger competitors.
With Mir moving up to Moto3, it is looking increasingly likely that the Leopard Racing team will expand their program to move up to Moto2. Current Moto3 championship leader Danny Kent has expressed an interest in returning to Moto2, but only wishes to do so with a strong team. The Leopard Racing team run by Stefan Kiefer has proved to be exactly that, and if the team can move up as a unit, then Kent should have a better shot at handling the transition than during his first attempt with the Tech 3 squad. Familiar surroundings and a strong bike package would make Kent competitive.
The switch to Moto2 is still a long way from being confirmed. At the moment, the budget for 2016 is under discussion, any decision can only be taken once funding for the project has been decided.
Below is the press release issued by Leopard Racing announcing the signing of Joan Mir:
2015 Assen Moto2 And Moto3 Post-Race Press Releases
Press releases from the Moto2 and Moto3 teams after Saturday's races at Assen:
2015 Moto3 Championship Standings After Round 8, Assen, The Netherlands
2015 Assen Moto3 Race Result: Holding Off The Rain
A dry start and no flag-to-flag racing in Moto3 means the race would be stopped to let the riders change to wet tyres for safety reasons if it starts to rain. Would the weather hold off?

2015 Assen MotoGP Friday Round Up: On Rossi's Assen Magic, And Old Tires vs New Tires vs Soft Tires
Jeremy Burgess was famous for finding that special something on Sunday morning that gave Valentino Rossi the edge in the race in the afternoon. It is a tradition carried on by Silvano Galbusera, who has replaced Burgess since the start of the 2014 season. Galbusera, too, always seems to find that extra little tweak during warm up that makes the difference between cruising in fourth or finishing on the podium, and even on the top step. The fact that it has continued since Burgess' departure suggests that the tweaks were very much a collaborative effort, with input coming from his data engineers and mechanics, as well as the rider himself, of course.
Two weeks ago in Barcelona, Rossi's team appeared to have found something extra special. For it did not just work on the Sunday in Catalonia, taking Rossi from the third row all the way up to 2nd, but it has even carried through to Assen, some 1600km further north. Rossi was quick from the moment he rolled out of pit lane for the first time at Assen, and has been at or near the top of the timesheets ever since. In this form, Rossi may well have expected to have been on the front row, but he went better than that. Putting in one of the best laps of his recent career with a couple of minutes to go, he simply hammered the opposition. As a sign of just how dominant he was at Assen, he led the second fastest man, Aleix Espargaro, by nearly a quarter of a second. The next quarter of a second difference covers second place to eleventh, from Aleix Espargaro to Danilo Petrucci. It is incredibly close at Assen, except at the front. One man reigns supreme.

2015 Assen Moto3 FP3 Result: Fenati Closes On Kent
Danny Kent has continued his reign in Moto3, but he is starting to be seriously challenged. Kent was fastest almost throughout the final session of free practice, but Romano Fenati closed the gap towards the very end. Making things more interesting, both Kent and Fenati set their quickest times on their own, without any help from a tow. The difference between the two was less than seven hundredths of a second.
Jorge Navarro was 3rd fastest, a third of a second behind Kent, while Alexis Masbou moved up to 4th.
Dorna Press Release: Brno 2015 MotoGP Round Saved - But Future Uncertain
Dorna today issued the following press release, confirming that the Brno round will take place this year:
Czech Republic GP confirmed for 2015
Automotodrom Brno has informed Dorna of the difficulties to receive financial resources from the public sector for the 2014 and 2015 Grand Prix despite the fact that such financial resources had been promised several times to be released.
Under these circumstances, Automotodrom has asked Dorna about the possibility of cancelling the 2015 Grand Prix but Dorna believes that cancelling the MotoGP race in Brno would neither be in the interest of the FIM, teams, sponsors and Automotodrom itself.
Dorna Press Release: Assen TT Moved To Sunday In 2016
Dorna have issued the following press release on the news that the Dutch round of MotoGP will be switching to Sunday from 2016:
From 2016 the TT Assen will be on Sunday
After carefully considering all the pros & cons, the TT Board has decided to move the race day from Saturday to Sunday, starting in 2016.
The TT Assen race day will be held on the last Sunday in June. This will have benefits for the future of the TT Racetrack, the preservation of the MotoGP and motorcycle racing in the Netherlands in general.
By changing to Sunday from 2016, it is expected that larger numbers of spectators will visit the track. In the current Dutch leisure pattern a top sporting event on a Sunday is more attractive than on a Saturday. On Sundays there is also more media exposure for these top sporting events, which is something the TT Assen will definitely benefit from. This has also proven to increase visitor numbers. By moving the training days to Friday and Saturday, the TT Assen becomes more attractive for a multi-day visit and therefore also for the purchase of all-in tickets.
Dutch MotoGP Round At Assen To Switch From Saturday To Sunday From 2016
The Dutch round of MotoGP, the Dutch TT at Assen, is to switch from Saturday to Sunday. From 2016, the event will surrender its unique status as the only MotoGP round to be held on Saturday, and fall in line with the rest of the MotoGP races. It will, however, remain on the last weekend of June, but will now be on the last Sunday, rather than the last Saturday of June.
The decision was taken by the circuit management after long consideration and discussions with many of the parties who have an interest in the race. The circuit also commissioned market research into the use of leisure time among the Dutch public, which showed that Sunday is the day most people set aside to spend attending sporting events, such as the Dutch TT. Circuit director Peter Oosterbaan and chairman Arjan Bos said that the market they were operating in was such that Sunday was a better day all round for sporting events. "All of the major football games, all of the big sporting events are on Sunday. People expect to go to a big event on a Sunday," Arjan Bos said. The move would also mean better media exposure for the event, as Sunday is the day with the most exposure for sports on TV and radio.
2015 Assen Moto3 FP2 Result: Kent Keeps Up The Pressure
Danny Kent has kept up the pressure in the second session of free practice for the Moto3 class. The Leopard Racing rider upped his pace in the second half of the session to take control again, holding off challenges from the Italian hordes. Romano Fenati closed the gap to just over a quarter of a second, and well ahead of the two Estrella Galicia 0,0 riders, Jorge Navarro leading Fabio Quartararo. Karel Hanika had a strong session, leading early before slipping to 5th, and ending the day ahead of Niccolo Antonelli, who had been quick early, but crashed without consequences later in the day.

Other activities include snow boarding, surfing and camping to name a few. Basically have a great time with awesome friends and families! I have been divorced for 5 years.

Born on Sept. 29, 1980 in Lake Charles, LA, the future actor - who named Tom Hanks as the person he wanted to model his career after - moved around several times with his family while growing up until they finally settled in Ventura, CA. When he was six years old, Levi started acting in school and local community theater productions. After graduating from Buena High School, Levi starred in regional productions of "Grease," "The Outsiders," "Oliver," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Big River." With a struggling actor's salary, Levi took odd jobs to pay the bills, including work as a busboy, as an employee at Blockbuster and at a car wash. "It was character-building," he later said. Levi spent the early 2000s appearing in a couple of made-for-TV movies, including a supporting roles in "Big Shot: Confessions of a Campus Bookie" (FX, 2002), which he followed by appearing in the romantic comedy "See Jane Date" (ABC Family, 2003), playing one of Charisma Carpenter's potential boyfriends. Appearances in various shows followed, with an hilarious turn as a bellman in a 2004 episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (HBO, 2000- ) and a short recurring role in the crime drama "The Division" (Lifetime, 2001-04).
After spending several years landing minor acting jobs here and there, Levi finally made strides with his career in 2006 when got a "perfect" role, so to speak. For four seasons, Levi made audiences laugh playing Kipp Steadman, a sarcastic, scheming and highly metrosexual magazine staffer who taunts Sara Rue in the brilliant comedy "Less Than Perfect" (ABC, 2002-06). That same year, Levi appeared on the big screen, playing Martin Lawrence's clumsy FBI partner in "Big Momma's House 2." After "Less than Perfect" was cancelled, Levi starred in a handful of indie films in 2007, including "Imperfect Union," "Ctrl Z," and the thriller "Spiral," which he also executive-produced.
The success of "Lost" (ABC, 2004-2010) and "Heroes" (NBC, 2006-2010) paved the way for a crop of shows that blended genres of action, comedy, drama and mystery. One such series was the Josh Schwartz-created "Chuck," about an unsuspecting geek who accidentally downloads a database of international secrets into his brain. Levi, who enjoyed playing video games and had a charming average-Joe personality like his television alter ego, believed his show was so successful because of its mixture of procedural and serial. Levi also related to his character's awkwardness around women. "Chuck" established Levi as a small screen hero for the MySpace generation, and also helped the actor transition into more feature film projects. In 2008, Levi starred in "Shades of Ray," a romantic comedy about a Pakistani-American man about to get married when his long lost father shows up at his doorstep. That same year, he co-starred with "Saturday Night Live" (NBC, 1975- ) actor Keenan Thompson in the road trip comedy "Wieners," then starred alongside Brandon Routh in the testosterone-fueled "Stuntmen."

To Drone or Not
Unmanned aerial vehicles are all the rage at the moment and for obvious reasons - they don't risk humans in hostile environments and they don't get tired or need bathroom breaks. So it's a little surprising to see Firebird, a prototype surveillance airplane from Northrop Grumman, that can operate as a pilotless drone or operate as a piloted airplane.
We've seen recent examples of Elmo the test dummy taking the place of a human for tests of a jetpack and a suborbital rocket, but Northrop's unusual step of designing a contemporary airplane with drone and piloted capabilities is hard to fathom. By including (or just having the option to include) the human control interfaces and life support systems, the Firebird is adding weight, complexity, and costs, thus negating many of the benefits of a dedicated drone design. In addition the overall configuration of the airplane will likely be compromised by having to incorporate a cockpit in a prominent position to give pilots a good view of their surroundings.
It will be interesting to see how this unique type of drone-pilot hybrid airplane plays out and whether it can find a role in an increasingly drone-dominated surveillance fleet.
Thanks goes to the LA Times for covering this new airplane.

Oct 05, 2007 What is CWA 0
On September 19th 2003, Current World Archaeology was launched in splendour at the Stationer's Hall, London, as a sister magazine to the long established Current Archaeology. The launch was a huge success and it has achieved a circulation of 11000 subscribers within the first 6 months. It is published six times a year in the even months.
The Scope
Current World Archaeology covers the world from the first emergence of man down to yesterday. There is inevitably a focus on Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Near East, and Greece and Rome, but don't worry – the best of the rest of the world is also covered regularly.

National Geographic Photographer James Blair to Present Work at THT
James Blair worked as a staff photographer for the National Geographic Magazine for thirty years. He has had more than 45 stories published in the magazine, and more than 2000 of his photos have appeared within its covers.
James Blair will give a talk at Town Hall Theater based on his recent exhibition Being There that recently appeared in the Jackson Gallery. The talk will take place on Wednesday, September 10th at 7:30pm, and will include projections of his work.
"My time photographing with the National Geographic opened my eyes to the beauty of the natural world and the wonder of its many inhabitants," says Blair, "It also brought into stark relief the pain and cruelty we humans too often experience." The subjects of the photographs in his Being There exhibit ranged from Martin Luther King Jr. during his "I Have a Dream" speech to Hungarian refugees before departing for safety in the US to a Peace Corps nurse comforting a patient in Tanzania. "Each of these photographs is but a single instant from long ago," says Blair, "I believe that the past is truly prologue to the future and for that reason I have selected these particular photographs as a warning of the problems that we, and our children, will sooner rather than later face."
"This was one of the most powerful and disturbing exhibits we've seen in the Jackson Gallery," says executive director of Town Hall Theater, Doug Anderson, "People were leaving the exhibit in tears." Before his tenure at National Geographic, Blair spent two years as a lieutenant in the Navy, part of that time assisting refugees from North Vietnam in Operation Passage to Freedom. As a freelance photographer he has had commissions from the U.S. Information Agency, Time, Life, and National Geographic magazines. Since retiring from National Geographic in 1994, Blair continues to teach and photograph, completing assignments for GEO (Germany), Vermont Life, and Wooden Boat magazines.
James Blair will give a talk and presentation of his work on Wednesday, September 10th at 7:30pm at Town Hall Theater, following his recent exhibition Being There in the Jackson Gallery. There is a $10 suggested donation.

If you missed the webinar that I presented for SDL last month on "Breaking into the direct client market," here's the link to the recording. About 800 people attended live and the feedback was positive; as I mentioned in the Q&A section, I'll be writing a blog post to answer some of the questions that we couldn't get to during the live session. Thanks to everyone who attended!
I'm excited to announce two new online courses that I'll be offering this spring/summer. I'm still running my flagship courses for beginning and experienced translators (Getting Started as a Freelance Translator and Beyond the Basics of Freelancing), but I've developed two new quick-start classes for people who want a shorter course with minimal homework, but with lots of one-on-one coaching. Here they are!
Breaking Into the Agency Market starts May 13 and runs for three weeks. I'll send you three slide show lessons (finding agencies; marketing to agencies; working successfully with agencies), we'll do three group conference calls and you'll get an hour of one-on-one coaching with me, which you can do by phone or e-mail. Registration is $190, or $175 if you're an ATA member.
Breaking Into the Direct Client Market starts July 1 and runs for three weeks. Same format as above (three slide shows, three group calls, an hour of one-on-one time) but for translators who want to work with direct clients. Same price too! $190, or $175 if you're an ATA member.
I'm excited to launch these new formats and hope to see some of you there!

A quick but important piece of advice, especially if you're in the trenches of your first few years of freelancing. Raise your hand if you've ever lamented a lack of progress in your freelance business by saying something like, "The problem is that most clients won't pay my rates," or "The problem is that most clients don't need someone who does my language/specialization," or "The problem is that most clients want someone who can do large projects on short notice." If you're honest, you've probably said or thought those things at some time: I certainly did during my first few years in business.
But here's the thing: to build a viable freelance business, you don't need 100 clients. You need, I'm going to say, four to seven regular clients and then some occasional clients to fill in the gaps. When I looked over my accounting for 2014, I earned about 60% of my income from my top four clients. While you want to be careful about being too reliant on any one client, A-list clients are a good thing: they fill your inbox instead of the other way around; they know and trust you; they take less administrative time because you've worked together before.
So this is one situation where you want to think small, rather than thinking big and being needlessly discouraged. Think three clients; five clients; maybe 10. As an example, the American Bar Foundation reports that there are over 47,000 law firms in the US. If you do legal translation, even if 99% of those law firms don't need your language pair, already have a translator they like, or don't have any translation needs at all, that still leaves you with 470 clients. So in that case, let's hope that at least 99.9% of them don't need you, because then you're only down to 47 clients which is still too many. That's an extreme example, but you get the point: now go hunt down the small number of clients that you do actually need!

If you have the drive and discipline to launch your freelance business, you have the drive and discipline to improve your freelance business, but we all struggle to force ourselves to work on those improvements incrementally (or at least I do!). In this video I talk about three approaches you might try: the carrot, the stick or the temptation bundle. If you really want to geek out on temptation bundling, you can listen to this episode of Freakonomics Radio.

This is a cross-post from Speaking of Translation, the podcast that I co-host with Eve Bodeux.
Hot on the heels of our Being a freelancer and being a mom episode (which logged almost 1,000 downloads in its first week!), we've put three freelancing dads in the hot seat. We asked them about many of the same topics as our freelancing moms: how they managed taking time off when their kids were born, how they handle work, child care/school and family responsibilities now, and what they tell their clients about their family situations. We think you'll enjoy this episode (lots of inspiration and creative ideas for other freelancing dads!), and thanks very much to our guests:
Miguel Armentia has academic degrees both in biochemistry and translation, and became a full-time freelance translator in 2008. Miguel translates English and French into Spanish and specializes in medical and IT translation. In addition, Miguel is a member of the IT Commission of Tremédica (the International Association of Translators and Editors in Medicine and Applied Science). He is the dad of two daughters, ages 1 and 3 1/2.
Jonathan Downie is a conference interpreter working between French and English, as well as a researcher, writer and speaker. He is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, where he lives with his wife and two children who are 1 ½ and 3. He is currently finishing a PhD on expectations of interpreters at Heriot-Watt University and writing his first book, 10 Challenges for the Future of Interpreting, as well as serving on the board of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting.
James Perry is a French-to-English freelance translator and lives in a Scottish Highland glen with his wife and 8-year-old adopted daughter. He is an Associate member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting. James specializes in subtitle translations for French media companies. He translates current affairs programmes, documentaries, cooking programmes and films: these include police thrillers and romantic comedy! He loves the variety and the fact that he is always learning.

On April 23, I'll be presenting Breaking into the direct client market for SDL's webinar series. It's free and will last about an hour. I'll talk about the reasons you might want to work with direct clients, how to design marketing materials for direct clients, how to look for untapped niches in the translation industry, and how to make contact with potential direct clients.
Hope to see some of you there!
Note: SDL let me know that the webinar will be *live only* (no recording).

This course session is now full. I will update my website with the next start date!
The next session of my online course for beginning translators, Getting Started as a Freelance Translator, starts on April 1, and registration is open on my website; I currently have three spots left in this session. This is a four-week course for translators who want to launch and run a successful freelance business, and a participant in the course commented that:
Neither in my undergraduate classes in education nor in some of the more practical classes I took as part of my MA in English (including the course connected to my assistantship as a writing consultant) did I ever experience one course that delivered as much precise and helpful information as this course.
Translators in any language combination are welcome, and every student gets individual feedback from me on four targeted assignments: your resume and cover letter, marketing plan, rates and billable hours sheet and online presence. We also do a one-hour question and answer conference call every week, and everyone receives copies of my books How to Succeed as a Freelance Translator and Thoughts on Translation.
Registration is US $350, or US $300 if you are a member of ATA. I hope to see some of you there!
