The nickname says it all. Jeanette Lee, aka The Black Widow, is regarded as one of the best billiards players the sport has ever seen. Formerly ranked No. 1 in the world, Jeanette won the 2011 World Games gold, billiards' highest honor -- all while dressed in her signature long black dress and black manicure. She is one of our oldest and most loyal friends, having served on the WSF Board of Trustees. We caught up with Jeanette at our 33rd Annual Salute to Women in Sports in October, where she shared what her life is like outside the pool room.
1. If you could be an Olympian/World Champion/Professional athlete in any other sport than your own, what sport would that be? Ice skating.
2. Who is your hero? In ten words or less, tell us why. Billie Jean King. The Women's Sports Foundation has changed my life and has inspired me to do and be more than just good at my sport.3. You've just finished your biggest competition of the year. With what food or dessert do you reward yourself for all your hard work and training? A love boat of sushi and sushimi. 4. What advice would you give to your 14-year-old self? Work hard and work with integrity. It will give you so many more opportunities in life.5. There is a fire blazing inside your house. What one item do you grab to take with you?
My children and then my cue.
6. What is the hardest workout you've ever completed? Boot camp at the gym.7. Most thrilling/rewarding/proudest moment in your career? Winning the gold medal at the 2001 World Games.
8.. You're allowed to spend one day as your favorite television character of all-time. Who are you? Spiderman -- I would love to have the ability to fly.
9. When did you realize you had extra-special athletic abilities? Being a young woman in the pool room and beating grown men.
10.What is the best thing about being an accomplished, elite athlete? The worst? Best: Having a voice Worst: Losing privacy
11. Top three things on your bucket list? 1. Go to Australia 2. Take gourmet cooking classes 3. Launch my Black Widow Junior Camp12. Favorite thing about your sport. Favorite thing about being a female athlete? I love the creativity involved in billiards!
13. If you could solve a social issue, what issue/need/concern would it be? Racial awareness in our public school system. 14. In 10 words or less, why are sports (physical activity) so important for girls to participate in? Aside from the obvious, sports help promote self-esteem and self-discipline. Plus, it's fun!15. Complete this sentence: "The Women's Sports Foundation is important because:" The WSF teaches women and girls how to become champions in line.
16. What's your next goal in sports, in life? To use my fame in sports to make a difference in my country and my community -- to use it to do something good and give back.
The Women's Sports Foundation is a non-profit that advances the lives of women through sports and physical activity.
Meryl Davis and Charlie White are the first American ice dancers to win the World Title and currently hold world records for the free dance and short dance. We recently caught up with Meryl to talk about her impact on social media, what the work of the Foundation means to her and what she has been up to since winning Sportswoman of the Year last fall.
Grete Eliassen is one of the best free skiers in the world. A six-time X Games medalist, she is tied with Sarah Burke and Ophelie David for the most among female skiers. The 25-year-old Salt Lake City resident, also a member of the WSF Athlete Advisory Panel member, will be joining us next week to lobby on Capitol Hill in honor of National Girls and Women in Sports Day. We caught up with Grete at our Annual Salute to Women in Sports in October to learn more about her life off the slopes.

Tarn's expansive, intimate, lovely film lets us share the connectedness of humanity, as we see lovers, workers, families all over the world getting on with the business of being alive.
Tarn is persuasive, and you can't help but respond to the boldness, intelligence and creativity of his film-making.
A visual essay that owes something to Werner Herzog and Chris Marker.
Might not want to make you reach for Kahlil Gilbran's source material, but you'll want to watch the film again.
Gary Tarn's use of digital video and 16mm film provides sumptuous visual texture, but it's a retrograde step from Black Sun, his Bafta-nominated debut.

Abington, MA (PRWEB) October 01, 2013
Dentist Dr. Michael Thomas can now remove gum disease and help more patients in Abington, MA qualify for dental implants through laser gum surgery, a minimally invasive treatment that uses laser technology to eradicate infection. With the Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure, Dr. Thomas can remove harmful bacteria without disturbing healthy gum tissue, minimizing patients' discomfort and healing time.
In order to qualify for dental implants, a patient's mouth should be free of disease and infection, so some type of treatment is usually necessary to restore oral health prior to implant surgery. In less severe cases, Dr. Thomas may be able to remove periodontal disease with simple scaling and root planing. In more advanced cases however, LANAP® can serve as an alternative to invasive traditional surgery.
Laser gum surgery can also help improve patients' candidacy for dental implants by preventing further deterioration. LANAP® employs the highly advanced laser technology of the PerioLase® MVP-7™, the only FDA cleared laser for gum disease treatment, to stimulate the bone around the root of the tooth in addition to removing infection. This bone stimulation increases the possibility of saving the patient's natural teeth. For teeth that cannot be saved, Dr. Thomas replaces them with dental implants.
To learn more about laser gum surgery and dental implants, please contact Abington Family Dental Care at 781-312-6090 to schedule a consultation with Dr. T

First Principle Calculations of the Structure and Electronic Properties of Pentacene Based Organic and ZnO Based Inorganic Semiconducting Materials
Date: May 2012
Creator: Li, Yun
Description: In this thesis, I utilize first principles density functional theory (DFT) based calculations to investigate the structure and electronic properties including charge transfer behaviors and work function of two types of materials: pentacene based organic semiconductors and ZnO transparent conducting oxides, with an aim to search for high mobility n-type organic semiconductors and fine tuning work functions of ZnO through surface modifications. Based on DFT calculations of numerous structure combinations, I proposed a pentacene and perfluoro-pentacene alternating hybrid structures as a new type of n-type semiconductor. Based on the DFT calculations and Marcus charge transfer theory analysis, the new structure has high charge mobility and can be a promising new n-type organic semiconductor material. DFT calculations have been used to systematically investigate the effect of surface organic absorbate and surface defects on the work function of ZnO. It was found that increasing surface coverage of organic groups and decreasing surface defects lead to decrease of work functions, in excellent agreement with experimental results. First principles based calculations thus can greatly contribute to the investigating and designing of new electronic materials.

First Principles Calculations of the Site Substitution Behavior in Gamma Prime Phase in Nickel Based Superalloys
Date: August 2012
Creator: Chaudhari, Mrunalkumar
Description: Nickel based superalloys have superior high temperature mechanical strength, corrosion and creep resistance in harsh environments and found applications in the hot sections as turbine blades and turbine discs in jet engines and gas generator turbines in the aerospace and energy industries. The efficiency of these turbine engines depends on the turbine inlet temperature, which is determined by the high temperature strength and behavior of these superalloys. The microstructure of nickel based superalloys usually contains coherently precipitated gamma prime (?) Ni3Al phase within the random solid solution of the gamma () matrix, with the ? phase being the strengthening phase of the superalloys. How the alloying elements partition into the and ? phases and especially in the site occupancy behaviors in the strengthening ? phases play a critical role in their high temperature mechanical behaviors. The goal of this dissertation is to study the site substitution behavior of the major alloying elements including Cr, Co and Ti through first principles based calculations. Site substitution energies have been calculated using the anti-site formation, the standard defect formation formalism, and the vacancy formation based formalism. Elements such as Cr and Ti were found to show strong preference for Al sublattice, whereas Co ...

Functionalization and characterization of porous low-κ dielectrics.
Date: May 2005
Creator: Orozco-Teran, Rosa Amelia
Description: The incorporation of fluorine into SiO2 has been shown to reduce the dielectric constant of the existing materials by reducing the electrical polarizability. However, the incorporation of fluorine has also been shown to decrease film stability. Therefore, new efforts have been made to find different ways to further decrease the relative dielectric constant value of the existing low-k materials. One way to reduce the dielectric constant is by decreasing its density. This reduces the amount of polarizable materials. A good approach is increasing porosity of the film. Recently, fluorinated silica xerogel films have been identified as potential candidates for applications such as interlayer dielectric materials in CMOS technology. In addition to their low dielectric constants, these films present properties such as low refractive indices, low thermal conductivities, and high surface areas. Another approach to lower k is incorporating lighter atoms such as hydrogen or carbon. Silsesquioxane based materials are among them. However, additional integration issues such as damage to these materials caused by plasma etch, plasma ash, and wet etch processes are yet to be overcome. This dissertation reports the effects of triethoxyfluorosilane-based (TEFS) xerogel films when reacted with silylation agents. TEFS films were employed because they form robust silica ...

Gamma Prime Precipitation Mechanisms and Solute Partitioning in Ni-base Alloys
Date: August 2014
Creator: Rojhirunsakool, Tanaporn
Description: Nickel-base superalloys have been emerged as materials for gas turbines used for jet propulsion and electricity generation. The strength of the superalloys depends mainly from an ordered precipitates of L12 structure, so called gamma prime (γ') dispersed within the disorder γ matrix. The Ni-base alloys investigated in this dissertation comprise both model alloy systems based on Ni-Al-Cr and Ni-Al-Co as well as the commercial alloy Rene N5. Classical nucleation and growth mechanism dominates the γ' precipitation process in slowed-cooled Ni-Al-Cr alloys. The effect of Al and Cr additions on γ' precipitate size distribution as well as morphological and compositional development of γ' precipitates were characterized by coupling transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and 3D atom probe (3DAP) techniques. Rapid quenching Ni-Al-Cr alloy experiences a non-classical precipitation mechanism. Structural evolution of the γ' precipitates formed and subsequent isothermal annealing at 600 °C were investigated by coupling TEM and synchrotron-based high-energy x-ray diffraction (XRD). Compositional evolution of the non-classically formed γ' precipitates was determined by 3DAP and Langer, Bar-on and Miller (LBM) method. Besides homogeneous nucleation, the mechanism of heterogeneous γ' precipitation involving a discontinuous precipitation mechanism, as a function of temperature, was the primary focus of study in case of the Ni-Al-Co ...

Growth Mechanisms, and Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Junctions in 3D Carbon Nanotube-graphene Nano-architectures
Date: December 2014
Creator: Niu, Jianbing
Description: Junctions are the key component for 3D carbon nanotube (CNT)-graphene seamless hybrid nanostructures. Growth mechanism of junctions of vertical CNTs growing from graphene in the presence of iron catalysts was simulated via quantum mechanical molecular dynamics (QM/MD) methods. CNTs growth from graphene with iron catalysts is based on a ''base-growth'' mechanism, and the junctions were the mixture of C-C and Fe-C covalent bonds. Pure C-C bonded junctions could be obtained by moving the catalyst during CNT growth or etching and annealing after growth. The growth process of 3D CNT-graphene junctions on copper templates with nanoholes was simulated with molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. There are two mechanisms of junction formation: (i) CNT growth over the holes that are smaller than 3 nm, and (ii) CNT growth inside the holes that are larger than 3 nm. The growth process of multi-layer filleted CNT-graphene junctions on the Al2O3 template was also simulated with MD simulation. A simple analytical model is developed to explain that the fillet takes the particular angle (135°). MD calculations show that 135° filleted junction has the largest fracture strength and thermal conductivity at room temperature compared to junctions with 90°,120°, 150°, and 180° fillets. The tensile strengths of the ...

Growth, Structure and Tribological Properties of Atomic Layer Deposited Lubricious Oxide Nanolaminates
Date: December 2010
Creator: Mensah, Benedict Anyamesem
Description: Friction and wear mitigation is typically accomplished by introducing a shear accommodating layer (e.g., a thin film of liquid) between surfaces in sliding and/or rolling contacts. When the operating conditions are beyond the liquid realm, attention turns to solid coatings. Solid lubricants have been widely used in governmental and industrial applications for mitigation of wear and friction (tribological properties). Conventional examples of solid lubricants are MoS2, WS2, h-BN, and graphite; however, these and some others mostly perform best only for a limited range of operating conditions, e.g. ambient air versus dry nitrogen and room temperature versus high temperatures. Conversely, lubricious oxides have been studied lately as good potential candidates for solid lubricants because they are thermodynamically stable and environmentally robust. Oxide surfaces are generally inert and typically do not form strong adhesive bonds like metals/alloys in tribological contacts. Typical of these oxides is ZnO. The interest in ZnO is due to its potential for utility in a variety of applications. To this end, nanolaminates of ZnO, Al2O3, ZrO2 thin films have been deposited at varying sequences and thicknesses on silicon substrates and high temperature (M50) bearing steels by atomic layer deposition (ALD). The top lubricious, nanocrystalline ZnO layer was structurally-engineered ...

Hydrophobic, fluorinated silica xerogel for low-k applications.
Date: May 2004
Creator: Zhang, Zhengping
Description: A new hydrophobic hybrid silica film was synthesized by introducing one silicon precursor (as modifiers) into another precursor (network former). Hybrid films have improved properties. Hydrolysis and condensation of dimethyldiethoxysilane (DMDES) (solvent (EtOH) to DMDES molar ratio R = 4, water to DMDES molar ratio r = 4, 0.01 N HCl catalyst) was analyzed using high-resolution liquid 29Si NMR. It was found that after several hours, DMDES hydrolyzed and condensed into linear and cyclic species. Films from triethoxyfluorosilane (TEFS) have been shown to be promising interlayer dielectric materials for future integrated circuit applications due to their low dielectric constant and high mechanical properties (i.e., Young's modulus (E) and hardness (H)). Co-condensing with TEFS, linear structures from DMDES hydrolysis and condensation reactions rendered hybrid films hydrophobic, and cyclic structures induced the formation of pores. Hydrophobicity characterized by contact angle, thermal stability by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), contact angle, and dynamic secondary ion mass spectroscopy (DSIMS), dielectric constant determined by impedance measurement, and mechanical properties (E and H) determined by nanoindentation of TEFS and TEFS + DMDES films were compared to study the effect of DMDES on the TEFS structure. Hybrid films were more hydrophobic and thermally stable. ...

Indentation induced deformation in metallic materials.
Date: December 2005
Creator: Vadlakonda, Suman
Description: Nanoindentation has brought in many features of research over the past decade. This novel technique is capable of producing insights into the small ranges of deformation. This special point has brought a lot of focus in understanding the deformation behavior under the indenter. Nickel, iron, tungsten and copper-niobium alloy system were considered for a surface deformation study. All the samples exhibited a spectrum of residual deformation. The change in behavior with indentation and the materials responses to deformation at low and high loads is addressed in this study. A study on indenter geometry, which has a huge influence on the contact area and subsequently the hardness and modulus value, has been attempted. Deformation mechanisms that govern the plastic flow in materials at low loads of indentation and their sensitivity to the rate of strain imparted has been studied. A transition to elastic, plastic kind of a tendency to an elasto-plastic tendency was seen with an increase in the strain rate. All samples exhibited the same kind of behavior and a special focus is drawn in comparing the FCC nickel with BCC tungsten and iron where the persistence of the elastic, plastic response was addressed. However there is no absolute reason ...

The Influence of Ohmic Metals and Oxide Deposition on the Structure and Electrical Properties of Multilayer Epitaxial Graphene on Silicon Carbide Substrates
Date: May 2011
Creator: Maneshian, Mohammad Hassan
Description: Graphene has attracted significant research attention for next generation of semiconductor devices due to its high electron mobility and compatibility with planar semiconductor processing. In this dissertation, the influences of Ohmic metals and high dielectric (high-k) constant aluminum oxide (Al2O3) deposition on the structural and electrical properties of multi-layer epitaxial graphene (MLG) grown by graphitization of silicon carbide (SiC) substrates have been investigated. Uniform MLG was successfully grown by sublimation of silicon from epitaxy-ready, Si and C terminated, 6H-SiC wafers in high-vacuum and argon atmosphere. The graphene formation was accompanied by a significant enhancement of Ohmic behavior, and, was found to be sensitive to the temperature ramp-up rate and annealing time. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) showed that the interface between the metal and SiC remained sharp and free of macroscopic defects even after 30 min, 1430 °C anneals. The impact of high dielectric constant Al2O3 and its deposition by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering on the structural and electrical properties of MLG is discussed. HRTEM analysis confirms that the Al2O3/MLG interface is relatively sharp and that thickness approximation of the MLG using angle resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS) as well as variable-angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE) is accurate.

An Integrated Approach to Determine Phenomenological Equations in Metallic Systems
Date: December 2012
Creator: Ghamarian, Iman
Description: It is highly desirable to be able to make predictions of properties in metallic materials based upon the composition of the material and the microstructure. Unfortunately, the complexity of real, multi-component, multi-phase engineering alloys makes the provision of constituent-based (i.e., composition or microstructure) phenomenological equations extremely difficult. Due to these difficulties, qualitative predictions are frequently used to study the influence of microstructure or composition on the properties. Neural networks were used as a tool to get a quantitative model from a database. However, the developed model is not a phenomenological model. In this study, a new method based upon the integration of three separate modeling approaches, specifically artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, and monte carlo was proposed. These three methods, when coupled in the manner described in this study, allows for the extraction of phenomenological equations with a concurrent analysis of uncertainty. This approach has been applied to a multi-component, multi-phase microstructure exhibiting phases with varying spatial and morphological distributions. Specifically, this approach has been applied to derive a phenomenological equation for the prediction of yield strength in a+b processed Ti-6-4. The equation is consistent with not only the current dataset but also, where available, the limited information regarding certain ...

As morcellator lawsuits (http://www.gynecaremorcellatorlawsuit.com/) continue to move forward in U.S. courts, Bernstein Liebhard LLP notes a new report which suggests that informed consent should be obtained from patients before they undergo uterine morcellation. In an article published online in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (AJOG), researchers from NorthShore University Health System and the Mayo Clinic acknowledged that the use of power morcellators in laparoscopic hysterectomy and fibroid removals can result in the spread and upstaging of undetected uterine cancers, and assert that patients should be fully informed of this risk so that they can make their own decisions regarding such procedures. *
"Our Firm has heard from a number of women who allegedly experienced the spread of uterine sarcoma and other cancers due to power morcellators. It should be noted that information presented at a recent FDA hearing on uterine morcellation raised questions as to whether informed consent would be enough to mitigate risks, or if the procedure should be banned entirely ," says Bernstein Liebhard LLP, a nationwide law firm representing victims of defective drugs and medical devices. The Firm is now evaluating morcellator lawsuits on behalf of women who may have experienced the spread of undiagnosed uterine sarcoma and other cancers due to uterine morcellation.
Power Morcellators and Cancer
Power morcellators are used in laparoscopic hysterectomies and fibroid removals to shred tissue so that it can be easily removed through a small incision in the abdomen. In April, the

Adrian Rew
"Slot Machine Music (Side A)"
C'mon big money, big money. I don't feel comfortable in the casino environment. Somehow I don't know I don't think so c'mon babe big money. I walk into a casino and promise myself that I will only spend (waste) $20 dollars on whatever, usually slots, and I keep my promise. My max bet comes up 45 cents. It's not even a matter of "resisting temptation." It's a war. All I'm tempted to do is leave without spending anything. Listen, what are you playing? I can't play black jack, poker, roulette, etc., well enough to even fathom coming out ahead. Double bonus. So in the off chance that I'm dragged along to a casino for a friend's birthday or something, as my posse presses their luck with the big kid games, I find solace in a few key factors. Press the spin button to see what you've won. #1: You can smoke cigarettes indoors. I wanted that one. #2: Slot machines hypnotize me. You just have to wait a minute, mom. I know that's hard for you.
I listen to Adrian Rew's field recordings of Midwest casinos, compiled into his album Slot Machine Music (originally issued as a CDr on Ergot Records), and I'm transported straight to the zone. By "the zone," I don't mean "the casino." I mean the same mental fugue state and/or ecstasy sparked by Reich's endless melodic repetitions, Nancarrow's inhuman player piano rolls, or Headboggle's grab-bag synth mangling. Rew's overwhelming stereophonic mixes, populated by layer upon layer of manic arpeggios, klaxons, victory cheers, Wheel of Fortune fanfares, gambler commiserations, all captured from the perspective of a lone microphone, with all recorded machines improbably tuned to something like the same key by their manufacturers for the sake of good-time consonant vibes on the floor, transcend the physical reality of their recording sites (Horseshoe Casino, Cleveland, OH / Horseshoe Casino, Hammond, IN / Grand Victoria Casino, Elgin, IL) to stand as successful "compositions" in their own right.
Key word: ~*# chance #*~. Just as the unwittingly recorded gamblers submitted themselves mind, body, and wallet to the rigged mistress of chance, Rew allowed only the natural conditions of the environment to shape his recording. The casino's chaos is out of his, or anyone's, control — other than the fatcats in the backroom stacking bands on bands on bands, pumping in the enhanced O2. Without the use of pedals, oscillators, tape machines, or any typical noise accoutrement, Rew's recordings fit neatly into the Hanson Records catalog (alongside other already classic field recordings like the Nath Family's Sounds of the Indian Snake Charmer) as a mind-fuck of rhythmic abandon and eardrum overload, frosted with that depressive sheen of hope and loss that keeps us all coming back for one more try, a little more, c'mon babe, big money.
You can preorder the picture disc from Hanson Records now. It ships in early September.

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
In his little known History of Sexuality volume 5, Michel Foucault describes our current epoch as "the age of rampantly masturbating to a possibly infinite amount of strangers on the internet," or as Slavoj Zizek puts it, we have become "a collective of individuals who are ready to share with others the solipsistic egotism of their stupid pleasure."
Luckily, in their video for new single single "Creamy," Argentinian duo Sinux have managed to bypass the vast swathes of bare man-flesh that we refer to as "The Internet" and instead serve up a Skype party brimming with some far more wholesome forms of fun. Seriously, I wish my friends were this interesting, we normally spend our Skype chats wearily redialling as the connection crashes and doing boring, blurry tours of our indistinguishable houses. These lot do handstands! And boxing! If even smoke-ring blowing Argentine cool kids are this gymnastic then their World Cup team should be fine on Sunday (my first and last TMT futball reference for you there)!
The song, taken from upcoming album After Hours, is a dream too. Chords shine, synths percolate, the bass rolls on heavy. Solids and edges softened by luxury. The kind of tune that could have been hewn into a Keysound banger, or tempered into a casio-pop anthem, yet resists either. The result is an intimacy sometimes misplaced in the cold hard singularity of certain ego-driven dance productions, lubricating connections rather than reeling through visions of self-love.
Glasses clinked. Toasts made. Eyes met. Crude (olive) oil poured out overtop baked bread. Bossed out. Devil grins. Solemn debauchery. Horns falling in pitch, dropping like promises made; never kept.
Again and again and again, these songs keep popping up like Dressbarn's in Midwest shopping malls. Out of the blue, now into the red. Five songs in six hours? And they all knock? Yessir. NUGS went hard. Check the other shit. They're all for the gettin'. And it's all for you.

A JOURNEY WITH NANNY - Vol.1
As Nanny (Nick & Annie) travel further under the sheets, their world opens up atop of a large mollusk tower. While descending the spiraling coral staircase ahead of them, their shoes tare on the rough edges, and completely come off as they reach the sandy shores below. Seas of TEAL wash the coastline in a variety of massively crashing and subtly drifting waves. Nanny approaches and sinks their feet in the sand. Then their legs and hips, stomach, fingers, elbows, shoulders; they transpire into the next realm of merely bubbles, as the sand drifts into a wind away, and Nanny floats around and down toward a waterfall that is pixilated in HD. Riding the water down the cliffside, they land in a pool filled with dolphin shaped creatures. These creatures read Nanny's better than any regular dolphin would have, and are nudging their bubbles around playfully in the pool, laughing. Within a minute, Nanny is up in the sky drifting between clouds as these new found friends fly them across this new world, as these creatures have sprouted fluttering wings like butterflies out their backs.
Take A JOURNEY WITH NANNY in this first volume of many. As Nanny considers this more of an adventure than a formal album or EP, they're already pretty far along with Vol. II, and are hoping to have some animations as accompaniment to join this time. So get stoked!. Annie does art as TEAL on her own, and Nick is the (in)famous RICK RAB (PRANCE, THICK LIQUIDS). Dig 'em:

Roland Tings
"Floating On A Salt Lake"
First time I gripped on Roland Tings was the Milky Way 45 on 100% Silk. It was actually unlabelled due to the packaging I received it in (not their normal packaging), and Roland Tings was written in white on the LP middle sticker. Didn't even realize it was a 45, so I played it at 33, and my mind was BLOWN for about 30 minutes. Just the most intricate minimal retro house music dripping out my speakers at the speed of sludge, and frying was seering across my nodes.
For a long time, I always thought it was so HARD to make music. It seemed like such a learning curved process, I'd always think, I've ZERO patience to learn. Found out it's actually a lot easier than I had expected, just need a few hundo$ for equipment and then a basic idea of how to use it prior to taking flight all on your own; the creative process is really the intentional progression. So it's interesting to see "Floating On A Salt Lake" being live produced by Roland Tings here (radically in a church). Makes the conceptualization of the mystery behind the beat.
Dance 'til you drop, no DOUBT Roland Tings always got your back, and just this past April, Internesjonal popped off a new RT 12-inch, Who U Love, which contains the 12-INCH VERSION (!!!!!) of "Floating On A Salt Lake." this video above is such a tease, OMG, I take back everything I just wrote!!! ;)

Prior to the meltdowns in credit default swaps, mortgage bonds and various derivatives, most people regarded insurance as a fairly sedate business. The actuarial analysis that goes into predicting when people will die, crash their cars or have a fire requires exceptional statistical skills, but most people's eyes glaze over at the thought. So why not take a little look at the wilder side of insurance? (Learn all the essentials of this industry in our Insurance Tutorial.)
In Pictures: Top 10 Insurance Myths
Specialty Lines - A Quiet Name for a Wilder Segment
Some of the most interesting (and amusing) policies in the insurance world are grouped under what the industry calls "specialty lines". While terms like life insurance, car insurance, and flood insurance pretty much mean exactly what they sound like, specialty lines is more like industry code for "a large disorganized jumble of weird, idiosyncratic and yet still lucrative insurance policies".
Sell 'em for Parts
One of the most famous sub-categories of specialty lines insurance is body part insurance. Plenty of people have heard the stories of singers like Bruce Springsteen or Celine Dion ensuring their voices (or vocal chords) or actresses like Heidi Klum, Tina Turner and Betty Grable insuring their legs. Sometimes the performer takes the initiative, while in other cases it may be a company doing so - in the case of Heidi Klum, Braun - now part of Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) - took out the policy when Ms. Klum signed on as a celebrity promoter.
This type of insurance is relatively common - or at least common enough that Lloyds of London has a body-parts insurance specialist, if not several. (For related reading, check out 5 Bizarre Insurance Policies.)
When Promotional Stunts Go Wrong
Another major category of specialty lines insurance is backing up various corporate promotional stunts. Perhaps you remember when Pepsi (NYSE:PEP) had a contest with a potential payout of $1 billion. The chances of winning the $1 billion were extremely small, however Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK.A) stood behind Pepsi just in case.
These do not even have to be large promotions. A Nebraska car dealership once offered a $10,000 rebate to buyers who bought a car in December if it snowed on Christmas Day. Lloyds of London wrote a policy worth $1.5 million for that promotion, and it certainly made the local news at the time.
Just Plain Weird
Of course, some of these offers are not nearly so squeaky clean. Singer David Lee Roth took out paternity suit insurance from Lloyds of London so that he could live the rock star life with one fewer worry. No word on what the premiums were for that policy, but I would have hated to be the underwriter.
More recently, Berkshire Hathaway disclosed an insurance policy they wrote for a French client whereby they would have paid out about $30 million if France won the World Cup.
Although some of the media reports talked about this in terms of "the mother of all World Cup bets", the reality is probably more sedate - I doubt it was some wealthy French businessman looking to make a wager with Warren Buffet; rather, it was probably another promotional backstop. For instance, Carrefour, the large French retailing chain, had a promotion that would have given rebates to flat screen TV buyers if France had won the Cup; clearly a large potential outlay for a low-margin business.
Risk Is Risk
Investors in insurance companies with specialty lines business, like Berkshire Hathaway, WR Berkley (NYSE:WRB), CNA Financial (NYSE:CNA) or XL Capital (NYSE:XL) need not worry. These stories are exceptional and they stand out precisely because they are so unusual. What's more, I am not aware of any major losses incurred by an insurance company because of any of these odd policies. Besides, at the end of the day, insurance is all about assessing and pricing risk, so as long as the underwriters know how to value an arm or a leg and discount the possibility of a $1 billion payout, the premiums certainly will not hurt the bottom line.
