Governance is not just for compliance anymore
Beefed-up regulatory and compliance obligations have spurred a greater interest in IT governance in recent years, but some companies are finding that governance also can be a valuable tool for managing data and other IT assets. Rental car agency Avis Budget recently enhanced its IT governance regime to support a large-scale customer data project and a major acquisition, reports Tony Kontzer at Baseline magazine.
The customer data initiative, which began in 2007, sought to support a new CRM project. The initiative eventually revealed that too many parties within the company had their hands in the data, which resulted in unreliable information and potential customer service problems. When data isn't adequately cleansed, it can lead to unsuitable promotional offers or unproductive marketing efforts.
To govern the customer data more effectively, Avis Budget began by establishing a governance board made up of both business and IT executives, and then assigned gatekeepers to oversee changes made to the data. At the same time, a marketing science department was formed to analyze the data and mold it into insight. With a greater emphasis on data modeling and expanded data access in the company, a closer relationship between IT and the business units has evolved, prompting greater adherence to the data controls.
The pay-off of the enhanced governance regime began to show last year when the company acquired Avis Europe. The new customer data platform smoothly assimilated data on Avis Europe's customers--which the previous system would not have been capable of.

Q: Is the Action Plan set by all participants in the project and not only by the beneficiary?
A: The action plan includes several measures which strongly involve the partnering organisations (exchange of know-how and experience, organisation of workshops and conferences, etc) therefore this action plan should be discussed with and agreed by the representatives of the partnering organisations. It is highly required that the applicant explains the activities to be undertaken with each one of the partnering organisation including duration, impact, costs.

Notable Books
Books | Four nonfiction books about elements of American culture
Provence, 1970: M.F.K. Fisher, Julia Child, James Beard, and the Reinvention of American Taste
By Luke Barr
In 1970 Julia Child was already a TV star, James Beard was writing cookbooks, and M.F.K Fisher discoursed about food, but they reached only a well-educated sliver of Americans. Using his great-aunt's notes and letters, Luke Barr brings to life these important characters in America's food history, highlighting a Christmas they spent together in Provence in 1970. The three comrades/competitors had prickly relationships with each other but were on the same road toward a uniquely American food culture. United by their growing impatience with formal French cooking, they planted the seeds for the local food movement. Although the book is about food primarily, it touches on other political movements of that time, making it an interesting cultural history.
Chickens in the Road
By Suzanne McMinn
After a divorce, Suzanne McMinn moves with her three kids to rural West Virginia, where she spent happy summers as a child. At first they live in an old family house dubbed the Slanted Little House. She starts raising chickens and keeping a blog about her adventures in sustainable living. The book describes in amusing detail the travails of raising animals—chickens, goats, and cows—along with baking and preserving. McMinn pulls readers along as she learns how to do things her suburban upbringing didn't teach her. She buys property and builds a house with a man she calls 52, but that relationship deteriorates and threatens all she's building. Caution: some bad language.
Bringing up Bébé
By Pamela Druckerman
Pamela Druckerman, a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal, marries and moves to Paris with her British husband. When she becomes pregnant, she notices differences between the way French parents raise children and the way her Manhattan and U.S. friends do it. Her entertaining account combines personal stories with in-depth reporting on French parenting culture. Although she observed and interviewed professional people in Paris, Druckerman reports that similar parenting principles hold sway throughout the country. They harken back to the way Americans used to parent: teaching children how to wait and entertain themselves, to respect parental authority, and to understand they aren't the center of the universe.
Going Solo
By Eric Klinenberg
NYU professor Klinenberg looks at what he calls a remarkable social experiment: For the first time in human history, "great numbers of people—at all ages, in all places, of every political persuasion—have begun settling down as singletons." The trend has many causes, including late marriage, divorce, and an aging population. Klinenberg's research includes interviews with singletons at various stages of life and highlights their challenges, which are most acute for the poor and infirm. Technology ameliorates some of the isolation, but Klinenberg argues for more robust public policies and offers Sweden as an example. How are Christians to think about this trend? Is it here to stay, as Klinenberg suggests? Klinenberg's book provides important data even if you disagree with his conclusions.
In Detroit: An American Autopsy (Penguin, 2013), Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Charlie LeDuff describes moving back to his hometown to write for the city's second-string newspaper. He weaves in his own tale with the crime and corruption stories that became his beat. His stories of mourning mothers, corrupt judges, and ill-supplied cops and firemen bristle with anger, which has a corrosive effect on him. The book doesn't pretend to paint a full picture of Detroit; it shows the dangerous and cruel underside of a city that many of its leaders betrayed. If it was a movie, it would be rated R for language.
In The Exact Place (Kalos Press, 2012), Margie Haack describes growing up poor on a farm in northern Minnesota in the 1950s. There Haack and her mother, stepfather, and five siblings lived in a three-room house lacking indoor plumbing. She writes about fights with her brother and small acts of disobedience that brought painful consequences. Her memoir shows how God made Himself known to her even in a wild and unforgiving place. —S.O.

Mustang Makeover
My second car was a 1971 light green Mustang fastback, with a 427 cobra motor, automatic transmission, and it would flat out fly. Well not literally, but you get the picture. Ever since I got behind the wheel, felt the g-forces as I pressed on the accelerator, heard the roar of the dual exhaust, and as the area filled with the smoke released from the screeching rear tires, I knew I would be a mustang enthusiast forever.
I liked that car immensely, so I had to buy another. The other one was a 1969 Mach I with a 302, three-speed stick on the floor. It was no comparison to the 71' though. Well enough about my stangs, let's get on with what I am writing about.
There are many styles of the mustang, the Mach I, GT, GT 350, GT 500, Cobra, Boss, Roush, Saleen, Shelby, and the list goes on. They all have style, performance, agility, and that unmistakable roar of awesome power, that is sure to turn heads as it whizzes by.
So, being the mustang guy that I am, I was awed when I heard about a fully electric mustang. Imagine that, taking a high performance rocket, sticking in an electric motor and still call it a muscle car. I just had to check it out.
A California based company, "HST International and Tjaarda," a design firm, have done just that, made two fully electric mustangs. One is the Tjaarda EVX Mustang, the other is the HST Shelby Cobra. Just the thought of it put a knot in my gut. How could it still be considered a muscle car when one of the enjoyments is the deep throated roar when you step on the gas. So being electric, that thrill has been lost.
Here are the specs, and boy was I surprised. They both use lithium iron phosphate battery packs, to juice up the 300 HP electric motor, which has an impressive 1000 FT/LBS of torque. A lot of gas-powered muscle cars don't even have that much oomph. Charging times using 110v will take 8 hrs for a full charge, but if you decide to up the ante and use 220v, you can have a full charge in 3-½ hrs.
Now for the performance:
The Tjaarda EVX Mustang, has a top speed of 120 mph, 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, and a range of 110 miles on a charge. The HST Shelby Cobra, has a top speed of 150 mph, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, and a range of 120 miles on a charge.
Now for the downside, the base price for the Tjaarda is $80,000 and the HST is a whopping $125,000. That's a lot green for a green energy vehicle. The cost per mile will average you around 3 cents, but is it still worth the price tag? I guess if you've got the cash to spend it is.
These two ponies were showcased at the Toyota Grand Prix in Long Beach, California in mid April 2008. I was surprised that I did not hear about them until now. They were road ready and for sale.
In closing, basically they took the most popular muscle car in the country, put some green energy into it and still kept muscle car status. Way to go.

Bohemian Rhapsichord is a web app that turns the song Bohemian Rhapsody into a musical instrument. It uses TheEcho Nest analyzer to break the song into segments of quasi-stable musical events. It then shows these as an array of colored tiles (where the colors are based on timbre) that you can interact with like a musical instrument.
If you click on a tile, you play that portion of the song (or hold down shift or control and play tiles just by mousing over them). You can bind different segments to keys letting you play the 'instrument' with your keyboard too (See the FAQ for all the details). You can re-sort the tiles based on a few criteria (sequential order, by loudness, duration or by similarity to the last played note). It is a fun way to make music based on one of the best songs in the world. The app makes use of the very new (and not always the most stable) web audio API. Currently, the only browser that I know that supports the web audio API is Chrome.

I like the idea of creating music by using sounds from everyday objects. Some time ago, i sampled kitchen utensils for my interactive stop-motion work "Art of Cooking". I this post I want to introduce a video by Mateusz Zdziebko who made incredible music by using some noisy and voiced objects. His proposal to make this kind of work more interactive: "Just use your friends, give them gadgets and transform your party into gizmo-jam-session."

"Game" and "Signals" Take Top Honors At Inaugural San
Diego World Film Festival
by Michael Wechsler and Richard Keefe
The first San Diego World Film Festival wrapped on June 11th after ten
days of screening over 80 independent, studio and foreign films. As
befitted a festival with an Honorary Advisory Board that included both
independent director John Sayles and Sony Pictures CEO John Calley, the
Festival was an eclectic blend of indie films and special advance
screenings of studio product (such as "The Truman Show"). According to
Festival Director Jo Moulton, "We wanted to come up with a festival
format that was unique, that recognized talent of all types and brought
them together, without distinguishing between the A and B list. At our
awards gala, we had one table with student directors, low-budget feature
directors and the legendary John Frankenheimer all sitting together."
Winning the Audience Award for Best Independent Feature was Chris ver
Wiel's lyrical life/death allegory, "The Waiting Game." Chris Eyre's
"Smoke Signals" took top jury honors, receiving awards for Best Actor,
Screenplay, Director and American Independent Feature. Tony Gatlif's
"Gadjo Dilo" won for Best Foreign Film while a special jury award was
given to Phillipe De Broca's "En Garde" as well as Andres Heinz's
"Origin of the Species." Corky Quackenbush's "Reinfather" won for Best
Short while Rick Wilkinson's "A Short Wait Between Trains" and Patrick
Yu's "A Spider's Thread" tied for Best Student Film. Val Keller's
"Winged" won the audience award for Best Student Film while David
Deblinger's "The Callback" won the audience award for best short.
World premieres in the feature category included "Me and Will" by
Sherrie Rose and Melissa Behr, "Adverse Possession" by Richard Martin,
"Slaves of Hollywood" by Michael Wechsler and Terry Keefe, "Coyote" by
Elliot and Shane Liem Jacobson and "Stricken" by Paul Chilsen, amongst
others. San Diego premieres included Jerome Courshon's "God, Sex and
Apple Pie", Mark Schiffer's festival fave "Strong Island Boys", Karl
Kozak's "To Hell with Love" and Valerie Red-Horse's "Naturally Native."
Some notable short films that attracted festival buzz included Greg
Seton's "Nonfat", Aaron Feldman and Oritte Bendory's "An Incident Near
Falaise", David Gambino and Lori Rosene's "Shooters", and Jodi Lane's
"Big Bucks for Buddha".
Festival highlights included the lifetime achievement awards given to
actor Martin Landau and director John Frankenheimer; a boating regatta
for the filmmakers; a special screening of "The Manchurian Candidate"
followed by a Q & A with director Frankenheimer; a talk about indie
publicity with legendary film producer Samuel Z. Arkoff ("I Was A
Teenage Werewolf," "Blacula") and a discussion on film editing with
Peter Hones (editor of "LA Confidential").
For all it's diverse programming and events, the festival wasn't without
it's problems and shortcomings. The complete absence of local press
coverage and the lack of support in promotions was a disappointment to
indie filmmakers who had to hawk their movies on the street to fill up
the theaters. On a less important, but certainly significant note, the
three gala parties touted at $100-$200/person had cash bars. To add
insult to injury, there were barely any mixers for the filmmakers which
is almost unbelievable in the Gaslamp district known for it's hip bars,
restaurants and dance clubs.
And last but not least, the "equality factor". Although this was
supposed to be a festival where everyone was on equal footing, that
certainly didn't seem to be the case when CNN, ET and Access Hollywood
camera's were invited to the glitzier, star-driven screenings while
smaller indie fare was left out in the cold.
The above rantings notwithstanding, the festival still came off quite
impressively for it's Freshman year and seems like it's here to stay.
Once the festival addresses it's "growing pains" it could become a
serious indie alternative to Los Angeles' growing festival monopoly.
[Michael Wechsler and Terry Keefe are the filmmakers behind "Slaves of
Hollywood", which screened at the festival.]

How do I start JBoss on a privileged port? I want to use port 80 instead of port 8080 (or alternatively, port 443 instead of port 8443). I can change the appropriate configuration files (jboss-web.deployer/server.xml) to change the port that is used, but then I cannot start the server because these are privileged ports. I could run JBoss as root, but I do not feel that that is a secure action to take. I understand that Apache has some mechanism to start as root, bind the privileged ports that will be used, and then switch to a different user. Can JBoss do this? Are there other ways to achieve this?
Will I face the same issue on Windows?

In my readings this morning, I discovered that on this day in 1796 Joséphine de Beauharnais married the famous general Napoléon Bonaparte. Although Beauharnais had been known as "Rose" in her life before Napoléon, it was when he crowned her the First Empress of France that he decided to call her Joséphine instead. From then on, Joséphine referred to herself as such, as did everyone else. More

A military commissioned a study called: "A crisis of trust and cultural incompatibility: A Red Team study of mutual perceptions of Afghan National Security Force personnel and U.S. soldiers in understanding and mitigating the phenomena of ANSF-committed fratricide- murders" (source: http://www.michaelyon-online.com/images/pdf/trust-incompatibility.pdf ).
The Red Team report sought to get at the core problems and grievances between American troops and Afghan Security forces.
What it found was rather shocking to say the least.
The report details a litany of complaints against U.S. servicemembers by ANSF members.
Among the lesser tier grievances ANSF have with U.S. soldiers is one that is, frankly speaking rather embarrassing. namely allegations of U.S. servicemembers urinating in public and in front of Afghan women…
Such acts are forbidden in Islam.
It also pissed the Afghan's security forces and police off to no end, because they see it as an act of disrespect toward the people of Afghanistan...
The Red Team report accounts of what ANSF soldiers think about American servicemembers toiletry habits in public.
One ANSF soldier described the situation this way: "They (U.S. soldiers) pee all over, right in front of civilians, including females. If we tell them not to do that, they either don't listen or get angry at us."
Another soldier complained: "They pee in the water, polluting it – we told them to stop but they would not listen."
"They peed in front of a house, they don't care if woman see them", he said.
"A U.S. soldier peed in a stream, right in front of a woman. This greatly angered us", said one ANSF member.
"Two U.S. soldiers even defecated within view."
It should be noted that U.S. soldiers have already caused problem in this respect before.
Footage at the begining of the year showing American soldiers urinating on dead Afghan bodies sparked outrage across the world - with Afghanistan's leaders labeling it as a 'recruitment tool for the Taliban'.
The video was posted on YouTube by someone with the user name "semperfiLoneVoice," along with the description, "Scout sniper team 4 with 3rd battalion 2nd marines out of camp Lejeune peeing on dead Taliban fighters."
The soldiers, in that case, can be heard laughing and joking in the video, one saying, "Have a great day, buddy."
"Golden like a shower," another soldier says after he is finished urinating. (see video: Marines Peeing on Dead Bodies - US Soldiers Urinating Taliban Video http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=/watch%3Fv%3Dmk7y4M96jvY and http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=/watch%3Fv%3DCnkarUjmtJI ).
It seems clear from the Red Team report that American military officials need to get a handle on this problem and order the soldiers not to piss in public, especially in front of Afghan women or police.

As insiders began arriving for Cannes, another fest kicked off with buyers buzzing about Bob Berney. The Picturehouse founder finally took a big step closer to his new distribution company with word that he will release Jane Campion's Cannes competition title, "Bright Star."
Seller Pathe began telling competitors about the U.S. deal with Berney and Bill Polhad's unnamed company ahead of friday's competition premiere of the new film here at the festival and this morning, Variety reported on the pact. Berney called the film a "tour-de-force" for the Cannes vet, who won the Palme d'Or back in 1993 for "The Piano."
"[Jane Campion] has created a film that's classic yet uniquely modern," Berney told Variety. "The film captures the love and unbridled passion between Keats and Fanny in a way that transcends period and will connect with young audiences today."
The romantic-drama starring Abbie Cornish, Thomas Sangster and Paul Schneider is based on the three-year romance between poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne. Their affair came to a crashing end when Keats died at age 25.
Blogging in Cannes, Anne Thompson noted that Berney is expected to make many announcements on the Croisette, even though his company still doesn't have a name.
For months, insiders have wondered about Berney's plans, continually wondering whether he would make it official at recent festivals such as Sundance, Berlin, or SXSW.
Chatting with John Pierson at SXSW back in March, Berney offered few details, saying, "I definitely feel like my heart is in independent distribution." And when asked to talk a bit about his intentions, he only added that the company will be 'very different than Picturehouse." And concluding the thought, said, "Hopefully in a few months we will be back."

Just curious, my girlfriend has a black one. Looks pretty cool; needs a resto, and some cleaning, but looks like a cool cruiser.
Just curious, my girlfriend has a black one. Looks pretty cool; needs a resto, and some cleaning, but looks like a cool cruiser.
I had one when I was a kid, back in the 60's. It was black also. I would like to find another one like it, but the ones that I've seen were priced ridiculously high. I got mine as a hand-me-down from my uncle, and it was eventually sold in a yard sale. It was probably a 62 or 63 vintage.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
The Racer was the men's model, and the Breeze was the women's model. Durable, nice riding bikes. The Messenger saddles, if that's what's now on hers now, can be very uncomfortable. Came with either painted fenders, or the more deluxe chromed fenders.
I have a 60's era coppertone racer 3 frame/fork and misc parts up in my attic. The Brooks saddle off that bike was the first ever bike part that I flipped.
I had a 1970 Racer 3 speed in the Schwinn metallic green and my sister had the Breeze. I rode the snot out of it from the time it was new until I graduated college in '82. Loaned it to a friend, forgot about it for a few years and have been trying to get it back ever since....
I too would like to restore one someday.
As a kid, I had a blue one with the 2-speed kick-back hub and coaster brake. About 62 or 63 vintage IIRC. I'd love to find another one like it.
I like my Raleigh Sport a lot. Can't see much difference between the two.
I have spoken.
not mine but pretty cool anyway;
I have spoken.
Oh yeh, the racer is even harder to find in an adult size than the sport.
I had a '66 coppertone one that I loved. I, too, would love to find another. The morning after my Super Le Tour 12.2 was stolen in Berkeley I went up to my brother's house on College Ave. to get my Racer and son of a ***** if it hadn't been stolen the very same night! Still a painful memory.
Here's one in Portland, ME;
Oh yeah, and I have a nice ladie's Breeze in the basement.
I have spoken.
I have a 57(?) Racer. a very nice bike. not much different from the Traveler except the racer has painted fenders and the traveler has the SS ones. As for schwinn vs raleigh we did have a thread about this a while ago. the raleigh has a more sportier ride and the schwinns have cooler design/graphics, and a cadillac ride.
Last edited by g-funk; 01-25-09 at 04:33 PM.
It was Schwinn's answer to the Raleigh Sports. Suitable upgrades would be alloy 650b or 700c wheels and a Brooks B-66 saddle. It would also benefit from a modern Shimano Nexus or Sturmey Archer wide range IGH. They would make it into very nice around town commuter.
I have a 1970 Racer in metallic green. I purchased it about eight years ago for $5 at a garage sale down the block. I know this sounds pathetic, but all I've ever done for maintenance was oil the rear hub, fill the tires, and wash the dust/road grime off occasionally. Last year I added Wald grocery baskets to the rear and front for grocery store runs. It also makes a great coffee shop bike in the summer. I also threw on some cork grips and a nice older Brooks B-72. Here's the interesting part: I get more comments on this green tank, than I get on both of my De Rosas' put together!
This is not a three speed but a single speed coaster brake I modified to have hand brakes. I decided to do the mod after I found myself squeezing the dickens out of the handlebars and not stopping! I think its a '71. For a single speed tank, this old warrior can be quite zippy and is a hoot to ride while soaking in the scenery. Garage sale of course. It was the chrome fenders that sucked me in like an electromagnet. And yes, I have corrected the angle on the seat since the picture was taken.

Hi Ticwanos,
That's a beaut! Tell me please, does the generator and the headlight still function? I found a generator and a headlight just this week, and I can't wait till it warms up to do an install. Also, is the rear rack a Pletscher model?
Again, very cool bike.
I have a '67.
I had a 1970s red one, and two breezes from the same era. Heavy as hell, and way too small for me, but super fun to kick around town on. I sold them all before moving from Ohio to Portland.
Originally Posted by NitroPye

I bought it for my wife, but she doesn't like it, so now it's on CL....the nicest little bike though...I wish I could keep it!
At the moment the headlight and generator don't work. There are some problems with the wiring I haven't sorted out, so they are on the bike for the sparkle factor only. The rack is Schwinn badged, but I think it is a Pletscher. I do have a couple in my parts boxes and except for the names, look the same. The down side to the Pletscher racks is how they clamp on to the frame. It is easy to scratch the paint, so be careful! There are some cool old Schwinns here. Thanks to all for showing them.

I've taken to cutting up some old inner tube and wrapping it around where the rack (or kickstand or baby trailer) would scratch the paint.
I have spoken.
Well SHE seems to like her's just fine;
Funny, this was posted at the CABE just now.
I have spoken.
We got one for my oldest son in 1971: Candy red with chrome fenders and it was equipped with a speedometer and generator light set. He had a paper route and put thousands of miles on before passing it on to his younger brother who proceeded to crash, thrash & trash it into oblivion. Don

Police arrested 12 people last weekend on felony charges for selling counterfeit Super Bowl tickets.
Police say 73 bogus tickets were taken from people who tried to enter Ford Field on game day.
Undercover police teams working the streets downtown also made two misdemeanor counterfeit ticket arrests and confiscated 23 fake tickets.
The NFL says there were no reports of anyone getting into Sunday's game with phony tickets.
People who presented them were urged to make reports on where they got the tickets. They were not detained.
Police and the NFL are working to track down where the tickets were purchased and printed.
Most counterfeit tickets were sold for an average of 15-hundred dollars each. Their face value was 600 dollars.

"David and Goliath" legal battle: Jaguar cars versus the Jaguar bar
17:55 25 May 2012
Car giant Jaguar has launched a legal battle over a café, bar and art gallery bearing the name Jaguar Shoes, which is frequented by the likes of stars like Natalie Portman and Beyonce.
Founders and brother and sister Nick Letchford and Teresa Skragatic, set up the venue in Kingsland Road 12 years ago when they knocked together a former bag store and shoe shop.
They decided to keep the quirky vintage signage outside and Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes was born, shortened to Jaguar Shoes.
But two years ago when the name was plaguarised, they sought to protect it with a trademark.
Car company Jaguar Land Rover objected to the use of the word Jaguar, and ever since lawyers from both sides have been trying to negotiate a deal.
"This is a point of principle for us and we will do whatever it takes to preserve the name and reputation of Jaguar Shoes," said Mr Letchford.
"It's a big part of our identity, for us it's a heritage thing, it's the signage there is the starting point for it all.
"The big corporates are perfectly within their rights to seek to preserve their legitimate rights, but this just amounts to irrational and inappropriate pressure which seems to us to be designed to keep the lawyers in business rather than any proper concern from Jaguar Cars to defend its brand," he added.
"There are hundreds of bars but Jaguar Shoes is more than a bar, that was our mandate from day one, we were a group in the creative industries wanting to create a place where those kind of people want to spend their time.
"It's kind of a David and Goliath situation, Jaguar are a multi-million pound organisation and we are a small group of businesses."
A petition asking people to sign if they have "never experienced any confusion between the restaurant bar and gallery brand Jaguar Shoes and Jaguar who make cars," now has over 1,000 signatures.
A hearing at the Intellectual Property Office is due to be heard on June 6.
Jaguar Landrover did not respond to the Gazette's request to comment.

Free Energy hope for doomsday and ET disclosure - The primary reason why most national governments have been suppressing UFO sightings and downplaying the possibility of extraterrestrial visitation and technology is that once people realize that these things are real, then their creative genius will liberated, and replications will follow shortly, making oppressive governments obsolete.

Edgar Wright Cheats on Simon Pegg, Finds New Love with Michael Cera
Edgar Wright, the English director of the exuberant romantic comedy Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, cites 2007's Hot Fuzz, his Point Break-inspired follow-up to the 2004 zombie satire Shaun of the Dead, as the movie that afforded him the chance to film in his hometown of Wells, and to pay tribute to influences ranging from Agatha Christie to Michael Bay's Bad Boys II.
Oscar Watch: Best Actor Hopeful Jeremy Renner Talks 'The Hurt Locker'
He's touted as a dark horse in Oscar's Best Actor race, a relative unknown in a field of nominees highlighted by presumed frontrunner Jeff Bridges and George Clooney. Yet Modesto native Jeremy Renner, the fair-haired star of Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker, is no stranger to the screen, or to awards consideration.
Looking Back: The Best (and Worst) Films of 2009
This has been heralded as the year of the animated movie, and with good reason: Fantastic Mr. Fox, Coraline and Up, among others, proved as engaging for adults as for children, validating a genre unfairly dismissed as kiddie fare by some critics and too many Oscar voters.
To me, 2009 was most memorable for its documentaries. Tyson, Capitalism: A Love Story, The Beaches of Agnes and The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers entertained as well as informed, and all remain worthy candidates for end-of-the-year accolades. Consider them (as well as Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are) runners-up to my list of the year's best films.

Kathryn Bigelow Comes of Age with 'The Hurt Locker'
Americans have made their will known at the polls and the box office, and the message is clear: Our military presence in the Middle East is only slightly less popular than the movies inspired by it. The Hurt Locker may not change that sentiment, which felled recent offerings like Ridley Scott's underrated Body of Lies and the equally overlooked Rendition, but that takes nothing away from Kathryn Bigelow's most gripping thriller to date.

Nope. Vibration will still be transmitted through the aluminum. The vibration dampening of carbon fiber composites comes from the way all of the materials deform together.
Plus, you'll be changing the size of the seatpost and it won't fit in the seat tube anymore.

As noted, you can't increase the diameter of your seatpost and still have it fit. If all you planned to do was wrap carbon tape around the exposed portion of the seatpost you will only change the cosmetics and have no other benefit.
The frequency of vibration dampening will be changed by adding weight to the seat post.
CF is one way. Another would be filling the seat post with molten lead or a slug of depleted
uranium for maximum effect. You seem to want more vibration ("reduce vibration dampening"
as you phrased it) so a steel seat post might be a better idea. Steel vibrates a bit better
than aluminum or CF.
Why would you suggest filling a seatpost with a toxic substance like lead? A solid steel rod would be just as effective, and less hazardous to one's health.
I'm currently working on wrapping cardboard tubes from paper towel rolls with carbon fiber tape. Predicted weight for the full carbon frame is under 1.5 pounds.
CF is at least as hazardous as lead if you are cutting the tape to fit. The
small shards of CF produced by the cutting are toxic to the lungs.
The post was TIC, extrapolating on the consequences of the OP's approach.
Otherwise an interesting approach to making a mandrel for a CF frame
using paper towel rolls.

Also a misconception. There are harsh steel bikes too. But I must admit I've never ridden one that had the jack-hammer-up-your-ass effect of some (rather expensive) aluminum frames.

If you're looking to reduce vibration, for god's sake, don't remove the load bearing decals.

For those of you cutting the carbon fiber tape and paper towel rolls, please remember not to run with scissors and to keep the points down. If at all possible, use safety scissors with rounded points.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- A campaign committee has been formed to raise money and work for approval of an amendment to North Carolina's constitution that would ban gay marriage.
The "Vote FOR Marriage NC" organization has filed paperwork with the State Board of Elections. Initial coalition members include the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, the North Carolina Values Coalition, a group of black pastors and the National Organization for Marriage.
The Legislature agreed in September to put the proposed amendment on the ballot next May.
A referendum committee opposing the amendment called the Coalition to Protect North Carolina Families formed in early November.
North Carolina state law already limits marriage to a man and a woman, and the amendment would make such a marriage the only domestic legal union recognized in the state.

Is it fate or sheer luck that places a virtually unknown rapper from suburban Boston on top of the iTunes charts ahead of some of the Rap's more established national acts? Sam Adams provided some of those answers recently to HipHopDX, regarding his Boston's Boy EP, selling over 15,000 digital copies.
"The success should not be a secret. It's just about being yourself and being honest and genuine in your rhymes," said the college sensation signed to 1st Round Records. "I'm not claiming any gritty hood genre of Hip Hop. I just wanted to create a new sound that was easy to move to with some lyricism on top of it. We [recorded] the EP in like 20 hours." The emcee says that that estimated studio log was compiled over several months with Adams' engineer, Matty. Those sessions were also divided between Los Angeles and his native Massachusetts.
Not everyone has welcomed Sam Adams with open arms. There have been some rumors floating around that he cheated, or inflated his numbers in order to reach the number one status on the charts. Sam wanted to clear the air, "Soundscan, iTunes, Neilson, Billboard, they're all backing me. There's no way my sales could be any more official. If you do about 30 seconds of research you can see the official numbers. The speculation should have already been cleared for anyone who cares about music info online. For the other angry people and bitter hate-filled population, I'm sorry if your depressed and shit but I don't know what to do."
It is speculated that many major labels are approaching Sam Adams, after the six-figure success of Asher Roth last year, as well as Adams' obvious foothold in a tough sales climate. Reluctant of a spotted deal, Adams says,"We are just taking meetings and trying to figure out where we could have some creative freedom and some fun. Every label has a lot to offer. For now we're gonna stay indie for a minute, 'cause it got us this far real quick. Having said that, things like radio and brand management would be really cool coming from a major label."
This is not just another white rapper so let all the comparisons cease and judge him for yourself. "I rap, yes, but I wouldn't really say I'm just a rapper. I did have a strong Hip Hop background, but I consider myself to be way more Electro/Dance/Hip Hop. Especially with the music we've been making since the EP, our focus has shifted to huge Dub-step/House/Electronic beats. We want to have a much bigger sound then traditional Rap music. We've been working with big euro deejays," he said, though presently unwilling to specify who. "I think the invention of this new sound will make me way way different than 'cliché white rappers.'"
Certainly, regardless of race, few digital Rap debuts on an independent label have impressed the charts this much in some time.
UPDATE: The following tour dates have just been announced for Sam Adams:

Calendar now common for most local students
42,700: Projected enrollment for the Sweetwater Union High School District.
27,000: Projected enrollment for the Chula Vista Elementary School District.
45: Number of elementary schools in the Chula Vista district.
24: Number of middle and high schools in the Sweetwater district.
SOURCE: Sweetwater and Chula Vista school districts
Online: For the Sweetwater Union High School District's calendar, go to suhsd.k12.ca.us. For the Chula Vista Elementary School District's calendar, go to cvesd.org.
Chula Vista School starts Monday for the majority of South County students.
That's actually news in Chula Vista, which has a tradition of staggered starts among its elementary, middle and high schools. That often meant one campus could be in session while the school across the street was closed.
For parent Christine Moore of Chula Vista, who two years ago had students at three schools, it meant three vacation schedules.
"If it had not been for my computer calendar, it would have been impossible to coordinate – not just family vacations but special events, child care. It was brutal," Moore said.
Seven months ago, South County's two largest school districts agreed to synchronize their calendars so that 70,000 students will attend classes on almost exactly the same days. The Sweetwater Union High School District educates seventh-through 12th-graders throughout South County, and the Chula Vista Elementary School District covers kindergarten through sixth grade in Chula Vista, Bonita and a small piece of south San Diego.
The concept of a common calendar has been popular enough that it has been talked about for years among South County schools leaders. But the talks always broke down once they tried to tackle the thorny issue of which common calendar to use – traditional, year-round or a hybrid of the two.
A true regional common calendar would require the approval of five school boards. So far, only two have agreed.
The Sweetwater board even did it without the endorsement of its teachers union. Alex Anguiano, the union president, said he hopes the district will evaluate the fallout from the change.
"Will we have students who enroll in school in September? And how will we deal with the money that has been lost?" Anguiano asked. "How will we bring these students up to speed? What will be the district's expectations of the teachers?"
Schools are funded by the state based largely on attendance, so a high absentee rate caused by families unaware of the new calendar – or unwilling to adhere to it – could cause the schools to lose some money.
Five years ago, the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District lost $164,000 because of absences when it moved its start date back to August.
The challenge for Chula Vista and Sweetwater educators now is to make sure everyone knows vacation is over.
So it's on school marquees, in newsletters, in families' voice mailboxes in automated messages left by principals.
Southwest High School Principal Maria Armstrong and her assistant principals even went door to door this week in Nestor to inform the families of her ninth-and 10th-graders with shaky attendance histories.
Armstrong is trying to determine why some students missed so many days.
In the case of 10th-grader Angel Dominguez, 16, his mother told Armstrong in her living room Tuesday that it was family illness. Alicia Santamaria explained that she sometimes needed Angel to help carry her father to and from the car for doctor's appointments. But she pledged to have him at school Monday.
Armstrong hopes the home visits will get the word out on the early start and encourage families to take attendance seriously throughout the year.
"We just want our kids here. They're in our neighborhood. They're within our grasp," Armstrong said.

It may be all white outside, but this morning I got a glimpse of Laura Mercier's launches for Spring 2011, and it's looking like a very bright season.
There's also a serious side going on-counter: the skincare line has been repackaged and is looking very smart and rather high-tech, with two new hero products: a do-it-all serum and a must-have eye make-up remover.
I'll have to wait for the snow to melt to get my hands on the collection – but it's making me feel warmer already.
