This patented technology enables the structure of both front and rear tire to be achieved using a radial carcass and a single layer belt made of steel. Depending on the rolling direction of the tire, the belt is wound circumferentially around the carcass giving an angle
close to 0°.
The advantages of the use of steel are due to its extremely high rigidity and the possibility to tune the winding spacing thus differentiating the stiffness distribution from shoulder to crown.
The main difference from the bias-belted construction is the structure of the carcass in this case is radial. Its cords are wrapped radially around the tire, from one bead to the other. This way, low-section tires can be manufactured, resulting in substantial advantages in terms of cornering stability, reduced weight and high-speed performance. High levels of rigidity allow the tire to tune the winding spacing to achieve a differention in the stiffness distribution from shoulder to crown.
The structure consists of a conventional carcass and a belt made of two or more crossed layers. The difference between the carcass and the belt is determined by the different goals they are designed to fulfill and consequently different materials are used in the construction.
The belt is made mainly from Aramide and it's function is to reduce the dynamic deformation caused by centrifugal forces, while the carcass provides the tire with its stiffness and load carrying capacity.
Also described as conventional or x-ply tire. Depending on the different speed and load specifications, the tire carcass is structured using two or more overlapping layers.
Each layer is made of rubber coated textile cords and the overlap angle is designed in order for the tire to conform with the required dynamic characteristics.

Certified Cheese Expert Matt Caputo says:
Cremeux des Citeaux aux Truffes is the most expensive cheese in our store. At $26 for a 200g wheel it is almost $60 per pound and if bought in less than a whole wheel it is $78/lb (yes, we must charge more for the waste). It may surprise most readers, but we have no problem consistently selling this pricey little morsel.
It is a bloomy rind (white brie-like mold), cow's milk, triple cream. Yep, 75% butterfat. However, we sell several cheeses that fit this description so far and we do so for as little as $16/lb. Where this buttery rich mini keg derives its upward spike in price is in its black truffle center and its aging.
Don't be a dummy and try to use this in a recipe. Serve with Champagne and bread, but you better be sitting down when you do.
Ed. note: Sure this sounds expensive at $78 a pound, but remember, you don't want to eat a whole pound. A quarter pound is only about $20. You can spend that much on pizza for lunch, and not experience a fraction of the bliss.

Ben Roethlisberger's social calendar has become of major interest to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. And that, by far, puts him in a much more precarious position than Tiger Woods. (Last time I checked, PGA Tour officials were not beating down Tiger Woods' Isleworth mansion about his alleged "golden showers." See this post if you need a refresher).
For the second time in a year-long span, Ben Roethlisberger is being accused of sexually assaulting another woman. To be clear, accusations by no means make him guilty of a crime. But it does make signal a problem with Ben Roethlisberger's judgement.
Remember, these charges of sexual assault come just a few years after Big Ben nearly lost his life in a motorcycle accident in which he was not wearing a helmet. Again, bad judgement.
For someone with so much to gain, why is he willing to lose it all on such poor choices?
I'm curious to know what kind of advice Goodell will offer the young quarterback (keep in mind, Ben Roethlisberger is just 28-years-old).
The temptations any high profile athlete, politician or CEO faces on a daily basis are tremendous. Especially for those highly recognizable individuals like Ben Roethlisberger or Tiger Woods. So tremendous, in fact, that Ron Washington is still struggling with his inner demons at 50-something-years old.
Ben Roethlisberger needs to start seriously start questioning the circumstances leading up to those chance encounters with the women accusing him of sexual assault. Be it, the crowd he surrounds himself with, the places he frequents or the level of intimacy he's giving strangers.
If not, he may as well be riding a motorcycle without a helmet.

Firefighters claim victory over wildfire on Flagler/Volusia line
Published: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 10:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 8:23 a.m.
The 1,100-acre wildfire that flared up and spread quickly over the weekend sparking voluntary evacuations for hundreds of homes in western Ormond Beach was about finished Monday, a state fire official said.
Photo Galleries
Firefighters completed the "mop-up phase" Monday afternoon and planned to start monitoring the site Tuesday, said Will Raulerson, area supervisor with the Florida Forest Service.
"The fire is 95 percent contained at this point," Raulerson said.
The cause of the fire, which started at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, remains under investigation, Raulerson said.
A tour of the area Monday showed huge tracts of forest burned along Durrance Lane and other side roads like Baja Trail and Leeway Road. In the area west of Tymber Creek Road, burned-out power poles and mailboxes were scattered on the side of the sandy road.
Several residents in the area evacuated but the advisory was lifted at 6 p.m. Sunday and all were able to return home.
The Forest Service was assisted in the fight against the giant blaze by about 130 firefighters from nearly every city in Volusia County, along with crews from Flagler County, Raulerson said.
Raulerson said local firefighters would patrol the area throughout Monday night. Forest Service personnel will return to the scene Tuesday morning, Raulerson said.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kris5 Simple Boho These haldbacks are simple, yet add a little bohemian to any room - Love them! July 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Wife and Mommy of 3 Great quality Got 2 pairs of these for my dining room. I also purchased the matching curtain rods and the crinkle voile curtain in clilli pepper. Its a great holdback, good quality and simple design. But for the lightness of the curtain I wish there were more options to choose from other than just this. Its pretty bulky to me, but for heavier curtains it may look more appropriate. They do the job though, and with 2 holes for screws, its staying in place! May 9, 2011

ZF-11112: Zend_Translate_Adapter emits notice when 'content' option is not provided to addTranslation()
In Line 227 of abstract Zend_Translate_Adapter the options array evaluated of the key 'content'
if (!($options['content'] instanceof Zend_Translate) && !($options['content'] instanceof Zend_Translate_Adapter)) {
When the key is not defined as index in options, php throws a notice
Notice: Undefined index: content in /home/ronny/svn/trunk/library/vendor/sources/ZendFramework-1.11.1-minimal/library/Zend/Translate/Adapter.php on line 227
better is to check if the key exists
if (array_key_exists($options['content']) && !($options['content'] instanceof Zend_Translate) && !($options['content'] instanceof Zend_Translate_Adapter)) {
'content' must always be given by the adapter as this is the translation content itself.
It is impossible that 'content' is not given because this would mean that you have nothing to translate. An empty translation object is not allowed as it would always return a warning as no single language would exist.
The adapter must in this case throw an exception.
It's been more than a month with no response from original reporter, so I have marked issue as resolved, not an issue.
Just a thought: Would it be a good idea to enforce the requirement of supplying a 'content' key? ie:
Index: library/Zend/Translate/Adapter.php
--- library/Zend/Translate/Adapter.php (revision 23914)
+++ library/Zend/Translate/Adapter.php (working copy)
@@ -212,6 +212,11 @@
} else if (!is_array($options)) {

$originate = null;

Merged to release-1.11 in r24126 Leaving issue open-unresolved and assigned to Thomas Weidner, at his request
Fixed in ZF2 with GH-278 Attached to Adam as he provided the correct patch
By requiring 'content' you seem to be insisting that custom adapters will use it. This is not always the case. I have an adapter that does real-time translation via a web service. It isn't relying on local files.
I believe it should be up to the individual adapter to decide if a certain option is required.

Elegant Baptism & Full Moon Celebration (23 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
For this elegant Baptism & Full Moon celebration I styled a soft pink & white dessert buffet, and made cupcake boxes for the guests to take home with them, along with personalised chococlate bars as thank you gifts.
I also hung pink lanterns to tie in with the Full Moon celebration Chinese people celebrate on the birth of a baby.
According to Chinese custom, when a baby turns 1 moth old, a ceremony is held to celebtrate their first month of life (the Chinese term translates as "full moon"). This coincides with the end of the new Mums confinement period, and both mother and baby are formally introduced to the extended family and friends for the first time.
As the lovely couple had a girl they handed out Ang ku to the guests as part of the dessert. If you have a son, plain round Ang ku kuehs (red glutinous peanut cakes) are given out, and if you have a girl, you mould the Ang ku into traditional tortoise moulds, which are more intricate and delicate.
This was a lovely intimate family celebration to style.

About Me Everyday Reader

Comments about Complete Survival Manual:
The Complete Survival Manual is a great idea, but there are a number of places where the descriptive text needs illustrations to help the reader understand what is presented. For example, on page 114 "A-Frame Bed with Bamboo", a small illustration would help. Remember - not everyone who may need this manual will be experienced/competent/comfortable in the "wild".On page 113, reference is made to a "Camel Hitch" in the Appendix (page 342), there is no "Camel Hitch" shown in the Appendix.On page 145 under "The Humble Dandelion", the last paragraph is incomplete.The manual needs a complete and careful editing, do not assume people know what you are talking about.On the positive side there is a lot of very useful information presented.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Platelet-Rich Plasma - New therapy for an old injury
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Cathy Cantway
by Cathy Cantway , Tough Girl Cycling
As a competitive cyclist and recreational sports enthusiast I am unfortunately quite used to being injured. I have had knee surgery for a torn meniscus, shoulder surgery for a torn labrum, and plenty of scrapes and bruises and soft tissue injuries. But loving an active lifestyle, and especially cycling, I have never let an injury keep me down for longer than necessary; two years after my shoulder surgery I upgraded to pro in mountain cross!
This past February however, I started experiencing pain in my left heel. If for some reason I stretched my ankle too far it felt like something was actually tearing off my heal. After an x-ray to rule out any bone problems, my doctors and I determined that I had Achilles tendonitis. This is not an unusual diagnosis for active individuals as tendon disorders account for 30-50% of sports related injuries1. The problem with this seemingly simple diagnosis is that traditional therapy does not quickly or easily resolve the problem. For months I tried taking anti-inflammatories, resting my ankle, and even got fitted for a walking boot to limit mobility of my ankle because nothing seemed to be resolving the tendonitis.
Finally in April, after cutting out almost all of my activities to avoid further injury to my tendon, but realizing that I had a mountain bike season quickly approaching, I called my orthopedic surgeon, Andreas Sauerbrey, in Steamboat Springs and explained my situation.
"You need PRP," is what he told me.
"What is PRP?"
Dr. Sauerbrey quickly explained that PRP, platelet-rich plasma, is an injection of your own platelets, derived from your blood, into the injured tendon. The idea is that the platelets support the inflammatory process that is going on in the injured tendon and promote the formation of new fibrous tissue. Additionally, since you are injecting your own platelets into the injured site there is no chance of rejection from your body. He said if he were me that is what he would do, so I made an appointment.
Being a medical student I had to find out more about this new therapy. First, platelets are an integral part of the healing process. They are involved in blood clotting, inflammation, tissue proliferation, and tissue repair. Platelets secret a number of important growth factors that help direct proper tissue healing2. The idea behind PRP for tendonitis is that by injecting concentrated platelets into an injured tendon the platelets will facilitate and possibly accelerate tendon reconstruction and healing3.
Excited about the prospect of finally resolving my tendonitis I showed up at Dr. Sauerbrey's office ready to experience this new therapy. The PRP process involves first having your blood drawn, then the blood sample is centrifuged in order to concentrate the platelets. It has been found that platelet-rich plasma preparations contain eight times the amount of platelets found in regular blood samples, and increased concentrations of platelet derived growth factors4. The portion of the blood sample containing the platelets is gathered into a syringe and injected into the injured tissue. First, Dr. Sauerbrey numbed the injection site with a little local anesthetic, and once that set in he injected the plasma. The plasma injection can be done with the guidance of ultrasound, but in my case there was a very specific point in my heel that was irritated that we used to direct the injection. In a few minutes I was done! My heel was very sore after the injection; there is not a lot of space around your heel for extra fluid so I did have to use crutches to move around for a few days.
Dr. Sauerbrey recommended that I rest my ankle for a few weeks in order to give the therapy time to work, so I continued to use the walking boot, and to slowly ease my way back into activity. The evidence to support the use of PRP as a therapy for tendonitis is variable. A study by de Vos et al. did show a significant improvement in pain and activity level in patients receiving a PRP injection for Achilles tendonitis, however these improvements were not significantly higher than patients receiving a placebo saline injection5. Another study by Creaney et al. did show a 66% improvement in symptoms of pain, activities of daily living, and physical function in patients receiving PRP injections for elbow tendinopathy. They also measured a 72% improvement in the same symptoms in patients treated with an autologus blood injection (blood not centrifuged to concentrate the platelets), however there was less conversion to surgical treatment after the injections in the group receiving PRP6.
Although the data is variable on the success of PRP treatment, my personal experience with the therapy has been amazing! At about 3 weeks post injection I slowly returned to my normal activities. I started cycling again, and started preparing for my mountain bike season. I did run in to a few bumps along the way. I think I got a bit to excited about getting back to being active and stressed my Achilles by hiking and overstretching it, so I limited my activities strictly to cycling for a few months and the soreness completely went away. Now I can do everything I did before the injury, cycling, hiking, yoga, and soon skiing!

Salem Academy students win statewide safety video contest
Portland, Springfield teams also earn prizes
(Salem) – Two students from Salem Academy in Salem took home first-place honors and $500 for their video titled "Safety: The Musical" promoting young worker safety and health. Austin Coburn and Vinny Gasbarro wrote and sang original music and danced their way through the humorous 90-second video . Salem Academy also won a matching amount of prize money.
"Safety is a serious topic but there are fun ways to go about it – whether it's comedy, music, or both," said Coburn, a senior. "The video gets the message out but music is what keeps it in your head."
Coburn took second place honors in last year's contest with his video "Safety Police."
The other winners are as follows:
Second place ($400):
Third place ($300):
Students' choice award ($200):
The creators of the top videos were presented their awards Saturday during a special screening at the Northern Lights Theatre in Salem . The contest is designed to increase awareness about safety for young workers, with the theme of "Speak Up. Work Safe ." Students were asked to create a video with a teen job safety and health message and were judged on creativity, production value, youth appeal, and the overall safety and health message. All of the winning videos, as well as the other finalists, are available for viewing at www.youtube.com/user/OregonSafetyHealth.
The contest is organized by the Oregon Young Employee Safety Coalition (O[yes]). Oregon OSHA, SAIF Corporation, local chapters of the American Society of Safety Engineers, the Center for Research on Occupational and Environmental Toxicology (CROET), Liberty Northwest, Hoffman Construction, Central Oregon Safety & Health Association, the Labor Education and Research Center, SHARP Alliance, Oregon Health Authority, and SafeBuild Alliance sponsor the contest.

Men's Hockey Beats Harvard in OT; Secures Home Ice as No. 8 Seed
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (3/2/13) - Junior Andrew Calof's 100th career point couldn't have come at a better time. Calof scored the overtime game-winner to defeat Harvard 2-1 and secure the No. 8 seed and home ice for the ECAC Tournament first round series next weekend.
Princeton's opponent will be Cornell. The first game of the best-of-three series will be Friday, March 8 at 7 p.m. Saturday's game is at 7 p.m., as is Sunday's if necessary game.
With 1:09 remaining in overtime, the Tigers were faced with three scenarios. A win would give them home ice, a tie would give them the No. 9 seed and a loss would make them No. 10. In a gutsy move, Princeton took the risk and pulled netminder Mike Condon for the extra attacker and it paid off.
Junior Alec Rush and sent the puck across the blue line to senior Michael Sdao. Sdao fired from the left point and Calof was on the right post to pop it in with 37 seconds remaining in overtime.
The last time a junior scored 100 points was the year Calof was born, in 1991, when Andre Faust tallied his 100th point.
Princeton took control from the opening puck drop but it was Harvard that struck first with a short-handed goal at 11:24 of the first period.
Nine seconds after Harvard's Brian Hart was called for tripping, Harvard won the face off down low and Luke Greiner and Alex Fallstrom skated in 2x1 and beat Condon for the goal.
The Tigers continued to dominate puck control and led 13-8 in shots at the end of one. The second period was no different as Princeton had a 14-6 differential in shots, but this time it was the Tigers that lit the lamp.
Sdao scored his eighth goal of the season ta 8:41 of the second period to knot the game at 1-1. Freshman Kyle Rankin won the face off to the left of goaltender Raphael Girard and sophomore Tyler Maugeri found it in the circle and sent it to an open Sdao at the left point. Sdao one-timed and beat Girard gloveside.
Condon finished the game with 28 saves, with 15 coming in the final 24 minutes of the game.
Girard made 45 saves in the losing effort for Harvard, who drops to 9-17-3 overall and 6-14-2 in the league.
Princeton is now 10-14-5 overall and 8-10-4 in the league.

ZF-8155: Incorrect example of Zend_Db_Table_Select::where
Example 15.101 [1] on the Zend_Db_Table documentation page shows an example of code that doesn't actually work. It uses an array($condition => $value) in the where clause:
$select = $table->select()->where(array('bug_status = ?' => 'NEW'))
But as far as I can see, this isn't implemented. I think it should be changed to:
$select = $table->select()->where('bug_status = ?', 'NEW')
Patch to fix the issue.
Fixed in trunk and merged into the 1.9 release branch.

Google is expected to make a major announcement next week related to its Google Wallet, NFC Times has learned.
Google declined to discuss the announcement, which is expected to be made at the Money 2020 conference in Las Vegas, where Google Wallet chief Osama Bedier is scheduled to speak Monday.
That announcement will no doubt relate to the Web giant's continuing quest to expand its business from the online to the offline worlds.

NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Apple, as expected, will bring its payments service to e-commerce purchases and to three new markets–France, Switzerland and Hong Kong–the tech giant announced during its Worldwide Developers Conference Monday.
UPDATED: NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Following the launch of Samsung Pay in South Korea, the U.S., and China, Samsung's launches of its mobile payments service in two new markets, Spain and Australia, both contactless and EMV payments hot spots, will not support the device maker's proprietary Magnetic Secure Transmission technology, which is designed to make nearly all mag-stripe POS terminals potential acceptance points, NFC Times has learned. But in Singapore, Samsung Pay is expected to support MST technology.
NFC Times Exclusive – Sweden-based Seamless Distribution told NFC Times it will use a proxy-card architecture, along with host card emulation, to enable NFC payments from its SEQR mobile wallet, a move the company hopes will help it greatly expand the acceptance network for its wallet.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Wells Fargo's announcement this week that it plans to launch mobile payments from its own app this summer using host card emulation technology would make it the second major U.S. issuer to offer HCE-enabled service from its own Android app, following Capital One, though Wells Fargo plans to make the payments service part of its mobile-banking app.
NFC Times Exclusive – Certain point-of-sale terminals from a variety of device manufacturers aren't yet compatible with Samsung's proprietary Magnetic Secure Transmission technology, with Samsung Electronics' promise of universal acceptance of Samsung Pay at card-accepting merchant locations still apparently a far-off target.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – In an effort to deliver on the promise of a "true mobile wallet" and, of course, boost its flagging smartphone market share in China, Samsung has struck a deal with Alibaba affiliate Ant Financial Services to enable the Alipay QR code-based payments service in China through Samsung Pay.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Barclays has no current plans to support Google's Android Pay service or Samsung Pay because by adding the Contactless Mobile functionality to the Barclays Mobile Banking app, the company "removed the need to do something else," a Barclays spokeswoman confirmed to NFC Times.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – On Track Innovations CEO Shlomi Cohen sought to reassure investors that the company he took over nine months ago is more competitive and is moving toward profitability, though he declines to predict when it will turn its first yearly profit since its founding in 1990.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Apple has cracked the big five banks in Canada, with two of the country's largest banks, including Royal Bank of Canada, today announcing they are participating in Apple Pay, with the three others to follow.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – The issue over availability of tokenization services and whether the major global networks, such as Visa, are allowing for a level playing field among token service providers has reached Taiwan–with a former prime minister and chief banking regulator weighing in on the topic–as Taiwanese officials decide how best to expedite the arrival of such mobile payments services as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Android Pay.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Despite providing the NFC technology for three "OEM Pays" that have launched in China or which are scheduled to do so, NXP Semiconductors CEO Richard Clemmer still says he sees transit fare collection as the main opportunity going forward for the chip maker's NFC technology in China.
NFC Times Exclusive insight – Yandex.Money, sometimes called the "Russian PayPal," is using host card emulation for its new NFC-enabled payments service, a Yandex.Money representative told NFC Times. PayPal earlier told NFC Times it also plans to use HCE for its app in the U.S.

I'm thinking 20k+ cyclone fans for the liberty bowl. Maybe even more. Im thinking Tulsa might bring like 8k-10k (kinda doubtful). Hoping its a great atmosphere!
I just confirmed my group of 4 is driving down on the 29th. I can't wait to party with 20k other cyclone fans!

I think you are drunk on cardinal and gold kool-aid.
Twitter: @mookjnsn
love me some kool-aid......40,000!
but OP may be on to something, I had no intentions of going (I have 3 little kids and the wife has to work the 31st) until last night, I was joking with the wife about going and she said how much.
16 hours later I am now going and bringing 3-4 others that weren't planning on going.
Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than selfish and worry about my liver."
--by Jack Handy
As of yesterday, I saw the athletic department tweet they had sold 2500 tickets, this morning JP tweeted that 1000 students had bought tickets. So off to a good start.
I am hoping for number somewhere in the 15K range to make a good showing down in Memphis.
selling 3k tickets in the first day its pretty good. I wasn't planning on going, but then a group of friends and myself just decided we'd make the drive down. Were looking to get 3-4 more too on top of our group of 4
I wouldn't be surprised with... say 18,000 Cyclone fans at least. It's a drivable distance to the bowl game from Iowa. I know I will be there!!

I also think 20,000 is probably pushing it. I could maybe see 12k-15k in Memphis. But always seems like there are a thousand or two that come to the bowl city, but stay out partying in the lots. I would think us selling all 10k tickets through the school will be a good accomplishment, with another few thousand that get tickets from other sources.
The way the hotels are booking makes me think there's a lot of people going. It's been less than 48 hours that we've known we are going to Memphis, and the turnout sounds good so far.

1:44pm - 4 Dec 12
per Jamie Pollard Twitter
We started with 4 .....we're up to a group of 10.
Loyal Sons for ever True
I think 15k absolute top-end, still a good turnout for a horrible matchup.
"It's appropriate for leaders sometimes to move boldly against the flow of public opinion," she said. "That's called leadership." --- Sarah Swisher (D), Superdelegate, Iowa City
JP said his goal was to have to ask for more tickets above the 10k alotment.. which shouldnt be a problem with Tulsa not bringing over 10k to the conference championship
Well this thread is making me feel bad we didn't get tickets through ISU (figured they'd sell out), but I've got 3 going from 3 different parts of the country (Maryland, Texas and California)
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!
In Accordance with Prophecy
Didn't think I was going before yesterday.... Am going to buy 3 tickets tomorrow. Could see 20K being a possibility, but that's pushing it.

Lead Belly [inducted 1988], one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century was the honoree for the 9th annual American Music Masters series. Lead Belly lived a life that included brutalizing poverty and long stretches in prison to become an emblem of authentic American music. He is renowned for his songs - the best known of which include "Rock Island Line," "Goodnight, Irene," "The Midnight Special" and "Cotton Fields" - as well as his prowess on the 12-string guitar. In his sixty-plus years, he essentially lived two distinctly different lives: first, as a field worker, blues singer, rambling man and prisoner in the rural South; second, as a city-dwelling folksinger, performer and recording artist in the urban North.
Sunday, November 7
Robert Plant and Alison Krauss performed onstage together for the first time to honor Lead Belly. In 2009, the pair was awarded the highest honors of Album of the Year for Raising Sand and Record of the Year for Please Read the Letter at the 51st annual Grammy awards.
On Saturday, November 6, Oscar Brand and Josh White, Jr. performed at the Beachland Ballroom
On Saturday, November 6, Jon Langford, the Tarbox Ramblers and Dan Zanes and Friends performed at the Beachland Ballroom.
On Sunday afternoon, Dan Zanes and Friends performed at Harkness Chapel on CWRU campus.
On Thursday, November 4, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opened a Lead Belly Exhibit in the Ahmet M. Ertegun Exhibition Hall. Roots of American Music performed.
On Wednesday, November 3, Kip Lornell, co-author of The Life and Legend of Leadbelly discussed his book and Lead Belly as cultural icon.
On Tuesday, November 2, American blues and reggae musician Corey Harris performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's 4th Floor Theatre.
On Monday, November 1, the Cleveland Cinemateque screened the documentary Leadbelly, directed by Gordon Park.

WANT TO SCORE a $250 massage for $30? Maximize your frequent-flier miles and be sure to use them before they expire? Or get notified the moment it makes sense to switch credit cards or refinance your mortgage? The world of online money management has expanded beyond checking the balances on your accounts to become a powerful tool for analyzing your investments, tracking your spending and finding the best deals.
If lingering fears about safety and privacy keep you away, get over them. While it's true that no website is 100 percent safe, there are precautions you can take to minimize risk. Always read a site's security policy; any site that handles sensitive information such as bank-account numbers should have one. It should tell you how the information is stored, who has access to it (company employees, for instance, should not) and what encryption is in place (128-bit SSL encryption is best—it's what's used by banks). You'll also see a bevy of logos from security services like Truste and VeriSign. Click on them to make sure they're not just JPEGs; if they're legit, a new page will open, verifying that the site is certified by a security company. Also check that the site has https in the URL, not just http; the s stands for secure.
Here, with the help of some of my best sources, are my picks for sites designed to bolster your bottom line.
Invest: PORTFOLIOMONKEY.COM
I like this site because it's thorough. Load in a list of stocks, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds you own; Portfolio Monkey will score your portfolio based on its return potential, risk and diversification. (The site calls this your banana score. I guess someone thought stars were overrated.) Then it will suggest ways to fix your mix that will lower risk or improve returns and indicate how many shares you need to buy or sell to make that happen. The site can also analyze individual stocks or funds—if you aren't sure, say, whether Dell or Microsoft is a better match for your portfolio (or if one mutual fund is better than another). Finally, it can suggest stocks or funds you may not have considered.
The site, which launched in 2008, is still in beta and free, but the company is considering a monthly subscription charge of about $20. Will it be worth the money? Only if the site helps you earn higher returns than you do already—and the site makes it easy to figure that out. Go to the "Optimize" page and use the Backtest function to compare your existing portfolio with Portfolio Monkey's Optimal Portfolio over the previous one-, three- and five-year periods.
Of course, it's wise to take the recommendations with a grain of salt, as the site says. I see it as a good tool for DIY investors and 401(k)-account holders who want to know if their investments are performing as well as they could. Don't just do what the site says, but use its suggestions to inform the conversations you have with your financial adviser, your accountant, your spouse.
Keep Tabs On Your Spending: MINT.COM
(Also available in apps for the iPhone and Android)
This budgeting site tops the list of every expert I spoke to because of the terrific charts that show your spending by category. When you sign up, you register all your accounts: bank, credit cards, mortgage, car loan, investments, student loan and so on. (Safety isn't an issue: The website takes the same precautions as your bank, and it can't be used to move money, which means no one can clean out your accounts.) Mint will then use information from those accounts—like the fact that you charged $240 in theater tickets or spent $350 at Saks—to show you where your money goes and compare your spending with that of other people using the site. "Before I put my information in, I didn't realize I was spending $60 more per month on coffee than the average New Yorker," says Katie Linendoll, technology expert for the CBS Early Show. "And I like that you can sync with all your devices."
Mint will suggest a budget appropriate for you based on your spending patterns and will point you toward savings accounts with higher interest rates and credit cards with lower ones (the company makes its money when you sign up for these). But before you dive in, understand that Mint is like a puppy: You only get as good as you give. "The site requires a sizable investment of time in order to get the most out of it," says David-Michel Davies, executive director of the Webby Awards (which Mint has won several times). It will take a couple of hours to set up your accounts and spending categories; after that, maintenance is fairly minimal. You'll have to disclose, for instance, exactly how you're spending your cash in order for the site to get an accurate sense of your spending patterns. Otherwise, all it sees is that you pull money out of the ATM.
Save Money: BILLSHRINK.COM
(App coming later this year)
Consider this site an alternative to calling your phone company and asking for a better deal. Tell BillShrink what services or products you have and how you're using them (in addition to cell phones, it sifts through rates on credit cards, cable TV, savings accounts, CDs and gasoline). If, for example, you're a wireless user, it wants to know how many minutes you talk, if you roam, how much you text and if you have family who could be on the same plan. For cable, it needs to know how many boxes (regular or HD) and DVRs you have and whether premium channels are a must. Then it scours the marketplace and matches you with a better plan if one exists. For cell phones, it's not just price that matters but signal strength at home, at work and on your commute.
I like that you can make a switch directly from the site; you don't have to jump out and call the cable company. And there is follow-up if you want it. For example, every month BillShrink can reanalyze your cell phone bill to tell you the top five numbers you called. By making those your friends-and-family list, you may be able to change to a cheaper plan. The credit card widget is similarly detailed. It finds you a card based on whether you carry a balance, whether you care about rewards and, if you do, what form you want them in. If you have a preferred airline, it will recommend only cards that work with that airline.
Lower Your Interest Rates: CREDITSESAME.COM
Like Credit.com and CreditKarma.com, this free site, launched last year, is worth a visit just to get a peek at your credit score, which would otherwise cost you $15 to $20. But I recommend it because of the other things it does. When you sign up, the engine takes you through six quick questions (one of which asks for your Social Security number, but it's OK; the site is secure). Using your answers, the site will automatically gather information on all your debts—including balances, who owns the loans, your monthly payments and the progress you're making in paying down your debts—and puts it all together, giving the most complete picture of a credit life I've ever seen. Then it figures out if you'd benefit from refinancing, consolidating or restructuring any of those loans. It may tell you, say, that you could swap your 30-year mortgage for a 20 at a lower interest rate or that you could get a better car loan by refinancing with a different bank.
Next, it asks if you want to apply for any of those loans. If it doesn't find anything for you, or you decide you'd rather not make changes right now, it will continue tracking your financial situation, including your debt and credit score, and update you once a month (unless you ask to be updated more often). If something changes—for instance, if interest rates fall, which makes a new mortgage beneficial—the site will notify you.
Like many other sites, Credit Sesame makes its money by getting you to sign up for new credit. What is unusual is that Credit Sesame filters its offers by your credit score. Is it possible that you'll be denied a new credit card or mortgage after you apply? Yes, says CEO Adrian Nazari, but the chance of being turned down is 50 percent, not 90 percent, as it is in much of the industry. Serial refinancers (like me) and consumers who want to get out of debt yesterday will love it.
Stash More Away: SMARTYPIG.COM
(Also available in app form)
The graphics are a little too cute for my taste, but the FDIC-insured savings account at this site has one of the best interest rates going (it's currently 1.35 percent). And when rates rise, it will keep up. I also like that the site focuses on your goals. When you sign up, it asks what you're saving for (25 percent of users say travel), how much it will cost and how long you're giving yourself to get there. Then it will prompt you to set an amount that will be drawn automatically from your savings or checking account monthly or biweekly. Sound too childlike? It's not—the average user is in her early thirties and working toward a goal of saving $3,500 for travel, home improvement or holiday gifts.
This simple approach is grounded in behavioral finance: Research has shown that setting a goal and breaking it down into benchmarks is the way to save successfully. You can also make your goal public, giving friends the opportunity to cheer you on (again, behaviorists have documented that this works) or kick in some cash themselves. Once you reach your goal (or if you haven't but decide you want to withdraw the money anyway), you can use the cash to buy a gift card at a discount from a major retailer; amounts vary from 3 percent at Amazon to 5 percent at Marriott to 14 percent at Macy's. You can also put the money on a debit card to use as cash or transfer it back to your checking account at any time.
Spend Less: DEALERY.COM
When Groupon debuted, I signed up immediately. Every morning, when the -e-mail landed, I would drop what I was doing to check it out. But I'd rarely buy, so after a while I started skimming. Then I stopped looking. When I'd hear from a friend about the 50 percent off she landed at this restaurant or that yoga class, I'd be peeved. And now the Groupon copycats—LivingSocial, KGBdeals and the like—have made the search more complicated. Bargains are out there, but finding them can take a lot of effort.
That's why I'm high on Dealery: It operates in 87 U.S. and Canadian cities, has partnered with the big social buying sites and aggregates all the offerings in a single place every day. So if you live in Chicago, you don't have to go to kgbdeals.com to snag the one-month membership plus personal-training session at GoTime for $35 (a $205 value) or to tippr.com to get 50 percent off Indian food at Viceroy. Dealery makes a commission on the products it sells.
Use Your Miles (And Other Loyalty Points) Before They Expire: USINGMILES.COM
On international flights, I fly business or first class. I justify it because if I sleep on the plane, I don't lose the next day to jet lag—and I pay for these trips with miles. This has become much tougher to do. For my last few flights abroad, I had to ante up the dreaded anytime miles (double the usual number) far in advance to get the tickets. Was it a good deal? At that point, who knew. Next time, with this site, I will.
Enter all your loyalty-program account numbers, and the site starts pulling together your information, updating your balances each time you sign on, letting you know how close you are to achieving elite status and telling you what your points are worth in dollars. Then, if you want to book a flight or hotel, you can do so directly from the site (that's how UsingMiles makes its money). When the site returns prices and availability, it will also let you know if you can travel free. And because award travel is sporadic, you can set an alert to notify you if a seat becomes available. By seeing both the prices and the miles it takes to fly free, you get into the habit of viewing points and miles like money. That way you can decide whether it makes sense to buy a cheap ticket or save the miles for another time. But if you can buy a cheap ticket and use the miles for an upgrade worth thousands of dollars, you're reaping significant value. (And if you're unsure, the engine will make a recommendation on using the miles or not.)

The Woodstock Music and Arts Fair, which was held 40 years ago in Bethel, New York, was the embodiment of the peace and hippie movement and provided a triumphant exclamation point for the 1960s. Yes, there were crippling traffic jams and plenty of drugs, nudity, rain and mud. But there was also the music – three days of iconic performances from an unprecedented array of artists, including the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, the Band, Santana, Arlo Guthrie, the Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Johnny Winter, Sly and the Family Stone, Joan Baez, Richie Havens and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. This exhibit tells the story of the festival, utilizing a vast array of artifacts from Woodstock executive producer Michael Lang and many of the artists who appeared at the festival. Highlights include the original stage plans, clothing worn by John Sebastian and Stephen Stills, posters, contracts and other key documents.
This exhibit is located in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Ahmet M. Ertegun Main Exhibit Hall and open to the public on Friday, July 3 until November 29, 2009.

Unions are incredibly important for worker's rights, and any corruption or mess-ups in the union is by far outweighed by the benefits and power it grants its workers.
Unions are incredibly important for worker's rights, and any corruption or mess-ups in the union is by far outweighed by the benefits and power it grants its workers.
unions keep businesses from becoming monopolies. they are completely necessary in a free-market society.
even skilled workers need some collective say if their income is based on direct customer contact.
your welcome
not really, they are moreso proof that a free market doesnt work
ok, then tell me why a completely dominated market works more efficiently.
your welcome
ok, well
your welcome
The primary function of a company is to make money, not provide jobs. This is a fact. Anyone who says different does not understand the purpose of a company.
Hence the unions are put in place in order to provide social responsibility. If there were no unions there would be no middle class.
And then the unions abuse their power to force companies to keep on staff they just don't need. Businesses are there to make money, not to give some twit a job.
Yes Ed, because obviously slightly corrupted unions are much worse than no middle class.
If twits don't have jobs how can any economic cycle be completed?
Yes, yes I am. The private sector makes the money, the public sector hires people to provide services. More police, doctors, nurses, teachers, ambulance drivers, firemen etc. etc..
That would deprive any non-executives of luxury items. And by luxury items I mean clothes, utilities, houses.
Public sector employees do get paid, you know.
Part of it ends up in the public sector via taxes, the rest goes back into the private sector.
So by your lay-out the private sector employees get no funds, even though they make up 75% of the population.
Wait, what? No! Private get paid too. After all, you'll have private architects, engineers, builders, manufacturers... And that's just relating to construction. What I'm saying is that automation would reduce the number of people needed in a private business to make money. This frees them to work in the public sector providing services to society, such as healthcare. The government gets more revenue from taxes, people get better public services by having more people available to work for them.
No, without unions everyone in the private sector would get under-paid. Those fired would somehow automatically be hired into the public sector, where the government would have to increase taxes in order to sustain the sudden influx of employees, causing everyone in the private sector to become even more poor.
Aside from which, public sectors also need to be (and are) unionized. How about that London underground you were talking about. Isn't that unionized?
You're not following the logic. We're not talking about a sudden and drastic cut in the number of private employees. It would be a gradual shift: a slowly decrease in the number of people in private jobs while increasing production, and a steady increase in public jobs in tune with the increased tax revenue.
There's no requirement to be unionised in England. And the London underground unions do a great job of demonstrating how irritating and disruptive an overpowered union can be. Bastards keep striking and refuse to let TFL reduce employees despite them not being needed any more.
Communism doesn't work in practice either, but that doesn't stop it being a good idea. An idea you can never hope to achieve, but still a damn good idea.

Ever wonder who the first web developers were?
Twenty years ago today, when Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" was at the top of the charts, two engineers at CERN's data handling division wrote the proposal to fund the research project that would give birth to the web.
The proposal, submitted by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau on November 12, 1990, laid out what they wanted to build and the resources they'd require. The team wanted to start by building a browser and a server. They estimated development would take six months, and that it would require "four software engineers and a programmer." There are also some serious hardware requirements totaling tens of thousands of dollars (or is it Swiss francs?), but about a third of the requested funding was dedicated to software user licenses.
Here's the overview:
The attached document describes in more detail a Hypertext project. HyperText is a way to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will. It provides a single user-interface to large classes of information (reports, notes, data-bases, computer documentation and on-line help). We propose a simple scheme incorporating servers already available at CERN.
The project has two phases: firstly we make use of existing software and hardware as well as implementing simple browsers for the user's workstations, based on an analysis of the requirements for information access needs by experiments. Secondly, we extend the application area by also allowing the users to add new material.
Phase one should take 3 months with the full manpower complement, phase two a further 3 months, but this phase is more open-ended, and a review of needs and wishes will be incorporated into it.
The manpower required is 4 software engineers and a programmer, (one of which could be a Fellow). Each person works on a specific part (eg. specific platform support).
Each person will require a state-of-the-art workstation , but there must be one of each of the supported types. These will cost from 10 to 20k each, totaling 50k. In addition, we would like to use commercially available software as much as possible, and foresee an expense of 30k during development for one-user licences [sic], visits to existing installations and consultancy.
We will assume that the project can rely on some computing support at no cost: development file space on existing development systems, installation and system manager support for daemon software.

Eighth-Ranked Open Women Regain Class Of 1975 Cup On Charles River
It was actually Harvard that won the Cup on the Cayuga Inlet last year, but the Tigers defeated both the Crimson and the Big Red to win its third of five races during the morning regatta. The Princeton 2V kept its perfect season alive with an open water win, while the third varsity eight also won. Harvard won both of its races in the fours.
Princeton has now won The Class of 1975 Cup 25 times, almost doubling up Harvard's total of 13. It was Princeton's sixth win in the last seven years, and it was especially sweet after the 2013 defeat.
"Going from one season to the next, there's always a sense of building upon the year prior," senior coxswain Annie Prasad said after Princeton's win in 6:47.7. "And I think that really highlights what is most fun about racing the other Ivies for various Cups — there's a sense of longtime tradition and competition that carries on from year to year."
The victory moves Princeton to 4-2, 3-1 in the Ivy League, and gave Princeton its first Cup win of the season.
"The key today was coming together as boat and really moving together," Prasad said. "It allowed us to execute our race to the best of our ability."
While Princeton races each fall on the famed Boston river, the 2K race is held on a different part of the course than the Head of the Charles. As a senior, Prasad did have some experience with the course, though, as Princeton competed for the Class of 1975 Cup on the Charles River her freshman year.
"Familiarity is always nice, but it's fun and challenging to race at different courses, and we thank Radcliffe for welcoming us on their course and in their boathouse," she said. "Racing in the Basin my freshman year was certainly a plus."
Both the second and third varsity eights had solid wins, with the 2V taking its race by 8.8 seconds in 6:48.7. The 3V won by 22 secons, while the varsity four fell by 6.8 seconds to the Crimson.
Princeton returns to Lake Carnegie next Saturday morning for a 9 am showdown with Yale for the Eisenberg Cup. That will open a full morning on Lake Carnegie, as both the men's lightweights and women's lightweights will also host Cup races.

Sam Mendes
Reading, Berkshire, England
"I don't want to be known for one thing. I don't want to have an adjective based around my name. 'Lynchian,' I know what that is, I know what 'Kubrickian' is, and I know what 'Bergmanesque' means. But there isn't going to be, and I don't want there to be, a 'Mendesian.'"
- Sam Mendes
Most filmmakers spend their entire lives working towards a career in Hollywood, battling tidal waves of rejection, anxiety, failed projects, and empty pockets. To make even one feature film is a miracle in and of itself. So when Sam Mendes' directorial debut American Beauty won best picture and best director at the 1999 Academy Awards, many were quick to cry fluke. But long before mainstream audiences caught wind of Mendes, he was one of the most celebrated theater directors in the world. Since his now-legendary coming-out party, Mendes has gone on to marry one of the sexiest women in the world in Kate Winslet, while making an array of standout films that include Road To Perdition, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road, and Away We Go. Next up, Mendes is set to take the reins of the James Bond franchise, and take it to bold new emotional and visual heights.
Sam Mendes BiographySam Mendes was born in Reading, England, to a diverse family that was quick to nurture his creative tendencies. His father -- from Trinidad's ethnic Portuguese community -- was a retired university lecturer, while his mother -- an English Jew -- was a children's author. Sam was just 5 years old when his parents divorced. He went on to study at England's prestigious Cambridge University and began directing plays soon after graduating. One of his plays -- Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard starring Judi Dench in London's West End -- caught the attention of London's theater elite. Mendes wasn't even 25 years old.
sam mendes dominates the theater worldBefore he became one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood, Sam Mendes established himself as one of the most celebrated theater directors ever. After joining England's legendary Royal Shakespeare Company, Mendes directed such lauded productions as Troilus and Cressida with Ralph Fiennes, Richard III and The Tempest. In 1992, Mendes became the artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse, an intimate London studio space that he quickly transformed into one of the most vital and impressive theaters in the city. His debut production, Stephen Sondheim's Assassins, was a critical smash, announcing Sam Mendes to the London stage intelligentsia as the real deal. Over the course of the next decade, Mendes would go on to direct some of the finest versions of such seminal work as Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie, Stephen Sondheim's Company, and Chekhov's Uncle Vanya. Mendes is also known for directing the Broadway revival of Cabaret alongside Rob Marshall, for which he won a Tony.
sam mendes directs american beautyAfter over 20 directors were considered, and several "A-Listers" turned it down, Dreamworks -- the fledgling studio that purchased Alan Ball's script -- looked to acclaimed theater director Sam Mendes to direct the suburban satire American Beauty. The film which starred Kevin Spacey and Annette Benning, was Mendes' first as a director, but one wouldn't know it. The assured camera movements, beautiful compositions and many thematic subtleties resembled the work of a seasoned pro. Mendes was recognized for his achievement; American Beauty earned almost $400 million at the global box office, and was the best-reviewed film of 1999, winning Best Picture at the Oscars and Golden Globes, while Mendes was awarded just about every directing award known to man. Suddenly, Sam Mendes was the most in-demand director in Hollywood.
sam mendes directs road to perditionA true sign that Sam Mendes had made it as a film director (as if an Oscar for Best Director wasn't enough), could be found on the poster for his next film, the prohibition-era gangster epic Road to Perdition. It read: "Tom Hanks, Paul Newman and Jude Law" -- a cast of Hollywood heavyweights past, present and future that only the best in the business get to direct. This was Sam Mendes' second effort. What at essence was a tale about a father and son, Road to Perdition was not as well-received as American Beauty, but it wasn't a failure by any means, earning $180 million at the box office and six Academy Award nominations, winning for Best Cinematography. Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Mendes' next effort.
sam mendes directs his wife in revolutionary roadAfter the success of his first two films, Mendes had built the reputation in Hollywood as a director who could do no wrong. That would all change after the release of the war film Jarhead. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jamie Foxx, the film explored the boredom and psychological distress that comes with being a soldier on the front lines, and received mixed reviews and modest box office gains.
After heading back to direct theater, Mendes returned to Hollywood in 2008 with Revolutionary Road, a film that arrived with loads of buzz thanks to the reunion of Titanic lovebirds Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The grim period piece also marked the first time Mendes and his wife Kate Winslet worked together. Thematically, Revolutionary Road hearkened back to American Beauty, but it did not achieve the same level of success critically or financially. The film was by no means a failure however, earning a handful of awards for Mendes and his crew, including a nomination for Best Director at the 2008 Golden Globes.

Good map with topo info

About Me Avid Adventurer
Best Uses
Comments about Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi Adventure Map:
I would have given this map 5 stars had it not been for the lovely photo of a lion covering almost 13,000 square miles of map. I'm a big fan of National Geographic maps, they are waterproof and fairly durable, and have very good detail for their scale. However I still don't understand why they insist on covering what would be usable map areas with photographs. Let me take the photos while Nat Geo sticks to giving me the map to get there.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about this map. We are happy to hear that you are enjoying it. We try to balance the map use with the aesthetics of the photographs, and in this particular case may have erred on the side of the photograph. We have added your concerns to our comments list for this map and will likely remove the lion for the next printing.
