LIVE CHAT With Kevin Carroll: Can a ball save a life & change the world? What are the social innovation values of sports? June 15, 4-5PM EDT
Join us for a LIVE conversation with Katalyst, author, and speaker Kevin Carroll.
This conversation will open at 4:00PM EDT, June 15th, 2011.
"Can a ball save a life & change the world? What are the social innovation values of sports?"
They chose their addiction over raising three sons. The pinnacle moment of my parent's neglect resulted in the three of us being "rescued" by a stranger, shuttled down to a greyhound bus station in Bowling Green, VA, in the summer of '65, placed on a bus alone (ages eight, six, and three) and sent on a 200+
mile, one-way fare to my grandparent's house in Philadelphia. Without parents in my life, I resorted to finding my life lessons from many sources: businessmen and laborers, winos and alcoholics, drug dealers and users, sport coaches, my peers and old-heads at the playground, merchants, war vets, school teachers, librarians, custodians, food service workers, other kid's moms and dads. I learned to be constantly on the lookout for any nugget of insight that would assist me on my quest to rise above my suffering and circumstances. I spent endless hours at the neighborhood playground and it became my sanctuary. That playground plus sports and play proved to be a catalyst in my journey from dysfunction and hardscrabble to becoming an author, a speaker and an agent for social change invested in the sport for peace and development movement.
Sport and play are common human denominators and equalizers. No matter where you go in the world - regardless of socioeconomic, political or religious system – sport and play are present. Stories abound about the use of sport and play as social innovation tools versus foes of the human condition - HIV/AIDS,
gender equity, social inclusion, homelessness, literacy, natural disaster, conflict and many others - and there are human catalysts who utilize it to inspire change and action.
Jun 15 2011: Interesting story. As a volunteer soccer coach in NYC, I can say there are definite social and individual skills which sports provide. There is the physical and mental aspect of learning a sport and developing it. Team sports definitely teach communication and how to work along with others. While individual sports can help to mold your personal identity. Also, when thinking of fitness there is a nutritional aspect which may not be the primary focus but definitely plays a larger part as athletes become more disciplined and grow in their sport. We also see how major sporting events like the Olympics and World Cup can set the stage for healthy competition and bring people of all backgrounds closer together.
Jun 15 2011: You are absolutely right, Eduardo! Sports literally can "level the playing field" & bring people together & you can see the elite sitting next to the common man/woman & cheering for the same side.
Jun 15 2011: Thumbs up to that idea, I hadn't considered it at first!
Zdenek Smith
Jun 15 2011: This is a great topic. One nice example where a sport is helping to connect people is shown in a video that Quatar created when bidding for FIFO World Cup 2022:
- +2
The idea is that soccer can create common ground for peaceful engagement, cooperation and healthy competition. It helps to see that people are same regardless of where they were born and can share interests =)
Jun 15 2011: Indeed! Zdenek I think this is one of the biggest values that sports can teach in a way that I've never seen other disciplines/institutions/activities accomplish.Jun 15 2011: Great video to illustrate the point, Zdenek. Thanks for sharing!Jun 15 2011: it is truly a fantastic convening tool & this video is one great example of a country harnessing the power of sport for social good + celebrating the global game of soccer/futbol.Jun 15 2011: But see, here's what I was talking about earlier. Quatar may have a nice video, not questioning that, but the doubts that they bought their way into the World Cup sheds a shadow on football. Why does this need to happen?
And as a question - which I forgot in my last post - how can we improve things?
Zdenek Smith
Jun 15 2011: We cannot blame football itself but rather a few corrupted individuals.
- +1
I believe that with more transparency, reform and education we can improve the state of professional sport?
Jun 15 2011: I agree we cannot blame football itself, but I sometimes have a feeling it's more than just "a few".
I like your idea of more transparency and reform, but how can we find solutions that do not depend on people at the top making certain calls?Jun 15 2011: Sports is not only valuable for individuals but communities as well. Sports teams, even losing teams, offer a segment of their community the opportunity to bond as they participate, observe, or simply comment on the team. In business, we use sports as a way to short cut the longer process of building personal relations.
In fact, we are seeing that even the mere support of a sports team can provide the instant "family" (perhaps with all of a family's dysfunctions), useful not only for youngsters but twenty-somethings as well.
Over the last couple of years, I have been asked repeatedly to bring back soccer shirts for guys who don't even play soccer, and don't follow the country teams that I am visiting. They just want the "belonging" of following the sport - and belonging is so vital to our well-being.
Jun 15 2011: So true, Barbara! Belonging was my main motivation to be a part of sports in my youth.
David Higbee
Jun 15 2011: I must be a little late to this conversation but I love the interaction between sports and social change. I've been able to see if first hand myself. I work with a nonprofit that utilizes lacrosse as a vehicle for impact in urban Dallas.
- +1
On micro level how do you work with parents who don't see the value in sports?
Jun 15 2011: Hi David,
I'm interested in finding out more about non-profit. Could you tell me the name of it please?
Jun 15 2011: BRIDGE Lacrosse Dallas. We currently have 5 teams, boys and girls, in the south Dallas area. I'd love to talk with you and anyone else about the organization. It is a great group with a great mission.Jun 15 2011: do you know about LAX Nation, David? They use LAX as a social innovation tool Research can be helpful for a lot of parents to better understand the power of sport as a social innovation tool. Give a looksee to: National Institute for Play - www.nifplay.org +
Playworks - www.playworks.org + Beyond Sport - www.seyondsport.org
Jun 15 2011: Changing the mentality and culture in the homes is one of the biggest challenges we face. The kids are always advocates for fun and sports, the parents are much harder to convince. I will certainly look into these resources. Thank you very much.Jun 15 2011: I found this TED conversation experience to be...inspiring, enlightening, insightful, passionate, compelling, invigorating, empowering & humbling. Sport & play can be a fantastic rallying point for all of us - we ALL speak ball! Thanks to all of you who took time to join in the convo. Peace + PLAY...
KC Katalyst
Jun 15 2011: I love the work you do abroad AND here. At home (in Portland, your own turf), I've seen the principles we discussed together work in public schools here--and it is so needed. The values of sportsmanship, pure joy, and focus you encourage have all touched so many lives. Anywhere you go, we enjoy the fact you spread the gospel of Universal Values in Sport that tie us all together.

Jun 15 2011: Thanks for the shoutout & the Rose City LUV, Arlie! I'm just trying to do my part - each one teach one.
Peace + PLAY, my man! Keep being a power of sport zealot too.Jun 15 2011: My grandmother helped to raise me and with a young mom, it was extended family, the Y, and Girls Scouts that kept me safe from the harm of the streets. Were you bullied? Did you feel vulnerable?
Jun 15 2011: all great resources for belonging too, Katherine. I never had to deal with bullying per se but it did help that my older brother was quite big & strong & a bit feared in the neighborhood. Belonging is a big deal for young people. Finding a positive place to spend that critical time after school is key - 3p-6p is that important time for sure to find positive outlets. thanks for the comment!Jun 15 2011: Hello Kevin! (We briefly connected last summer in Denver, and spoke about our mutual Katalyst, Gordon MacKenzie.)
I never got into sports as a kid (or an adult) but do love to play, in general. What other analogies can you recommend that aren't sports-related. Could you say that creating art would be a good analogy?
Jun 15 2011: Hi Cami - it's great to reconnect with you! How about looking at other creative/inspiring outlets such as:
books (public library), music (school music program), art/design (future sole project & PENSOLE Design School). It's always about belonging + being inspired by the activity. Be well, Cami...Jun 15 2011: Can you give a few more examples of how sport and play are being used as social innovation tools against "foes of the human condition"?
Jun 15 2011: sure...Homeless World Cup (social inclusion), Right To Play(advocates for children in conflict regions), Beyond The Ball (belonging), Boxgirls (gender issues), The Girl Effect (education/sport access). there's a plethora of these organizations around the globe - check out www.beyondsport.org too for more examples. Thanks for the comment, Susan!Jun 15 2011: Sorry for checking in late...and sorry again if this has been covered - but I seem to remember someone invented a soccer ball that, through movement, generated electricity and stored it. The idea being that countries w/ little/no electricity - the kids still play a lot of soccer - so through doing that activity, they could produce enough electricity to provide enough light to read at night or something. Has that taken off at all?
Jun 15 2011: yes, it's called sOccket - www.soccket.com - it's a brilliant idea + innovation. a perfect mashup of sport, practicality, necessity, innovation & the unexpected solution! Be well, Terry...Jun 15 2011: I find it heartbreaking that so many schools have resorted to reducing physical education classes and recess for children of all ages. I find it incomprehensible that children, boys in particular, who struggle to sit still as a result of ADD/ADHD, learning differences or pure boredom, often have the elimination of recess used as a form of punishment. Is there are concerted effort to recognize and restore the value of PE and "outside"time to our children's school life? If so, can you provide the link? Thanks for your dedication to creativity and social change.
Jun 15 2011: thanks for your comment/thoughts, Kelly. RECESS matters! take a look at Playworks - www.playworks.org + National Institute for Play - www.nifplay.org
Be well...Jun 15 2011: Nice values indeed. :) I read your profile, and your "book and ball combination seems great. It reminds me of a couple friends I had once: one was a basketball player who was mostly interested in sports, and the other was essentially a bookworm, having spent most of her youth in her bedroom reading. Sometimes, they'd argue and diss each other's hobbies.
How easy (or how difficult) was it for you to manage these two sides of you? Jocks and nerds never get along. :)
Jun 15 2011: when I was young it wasn't easy to balance my jock side w/my nerd side. As I got older, I learned to embrace both parts & to revel in the fact that I could shine in both areas. My friends eventually grew to respect me for having ability in both areas too.Jun 15 2011: Hi Kevin,
firstly thank you for your story and for this opportunity for a live discussion! I very much preffer this type of conversation to the typical forum posting.
When looking at the stories of many of today's great athletes you find that one of the reasons they became so good at what they do is because they needed to do it, because it was vital to their existence for example top-class marathoners having had to run to their school every day during childhood. I think this is a different aspect of how sports can change or even save a life, not by being chosen as a pastime, but as a necessity.
Now to your point, I can very well understand where you come from. As a child our household was not necessarily one of the most peaceful so I also often found solace and peace in playing football outside with my friends. I never became a top footballer because of this - although I still dream about it sometimes - but it helped me meet a lot of great people who sticked with me in tough times.
So as a conclusion - yes, a ball can save a life.
For it to change the world we need to rethink sports in general in my opinion. I'll stick with football because it's probably what I know best - scandals of corruption within FIFA and the situation of many top clubs who continously buy expensive players although they are making deficits whilst trying to sell their stocks at the stock market can only deter youth from being interested in pursuing this path in life.
Same goes for cycling, an even better example. Who wants to become a pro if they know they will need to use drugs to be good enough?
Enough for this post, looking forward to replies.
Jun 15 2011: Sabin, thanks for sharing your comment - well shared & insightful. It's great to know that you personally understand the power of sport. It is true that governing bodies of sport have "lost their way" & the BIG money is behind that fact. I want to believe that many of the people who are caught up in the controversies and scandals were not originally that way - they loved the game & all it stood for. We can only hope that many of the officials & athletes that are involved in scandals for $, PEDs, poor leadership can reevaluate the reason they are invested in sport. Be well, Sabin.Jun 15 2011: I love playing pick-up soccer with all sorts of people - it's really a fantastic experience. It's not just about meeting new people and seeing new skill, it's testing your own adaptability, understanding of style and flow - real time collaboration with others to create purposeful motion. Sports are built on gesture, which is really an exploration of space - how you are in space and what you can imagine in space.
I think knowing your body is a huge part of placing yourself in the world, there are other lessons in sports - perseverance, focus, dedication, cunning, spirit - but for me the most important is learning gesture - it's the fundamental element of our communication.
Jun 15 2011: pick-up games require quick adaptation to others + creating spontaneous "non-verbal" language or gestures to communicate with your new teammates to play well together. I t really is a great test of one's ability to be resourceful, clever, adapt quickly + have a great playing experience. The magic is when you connect with someone you hardly know or just met in the pick-up game & you really have a true game connection as if the team has been playing together for years. Belonging, respect for each others gift/talent, & the mutual love for the game can go a long way!! thanks for the comment Aleksey!Jun 15 2011: I'm interested in using my vast experience in coaching tennis players at all levels to teach creativity and entrepreneurship. Any key thoughts you can share on implementation?
Jun 15 2011: finding ways to create civic engagement/leadership with your tennis players is a great call-to-action opportunity, Carlos. Please take a look at the work Right to Play is doing with athletes - www.righttoplay.com
we can also discuss this more offline.Jun 15 2011: Kevin! I had several opportunities to interact with you and hear you speak while I worked at Nike a few years back… I've followed you on LinkedIn, blogs, etc. over the years… you never cease to inspire me with your new thoughts on things! Thanks! I have a picture of the "red rubber ball" hanging up always here at my work station - reminding me to play! (among other things!) I've been through some tough things with my husband's addiction and recovery, raising teen agers, etc… the past year or so, I'm just wondering - is there one or two practical things I can do/say to instill the "always look for innovation" "don't forget to play" "look on the bright side" sort of thing with my family that is not cliché? How do I make innovation & inspiration a way of life instead of a one-time thing?
Jun 15 2011: Hi Anna, thanks for the kind words! Start practicing one LOOK UP day per/wk with your family. Make them share a story about something they discovered that didn't see before & share the story over a meal with the family. Positive message for them: circumstances never dictate someone's destiny. How's your WANT-TO?! You can't accomplish anything with a broke WANT-TO! Hope this info is useful. Be well, Anna!Jun 15 2011: Hey Little Fast Kid! I heard you speak for Florida Virtual School two years ago and never forgot it. What are your opinions about the current climate toward education in this country? What do you think we educators can do, incorporating your lessons from sports, to continue to bring forth positive energy these days?
Jun 15 2011: Fight for RECESS! As an educator you know that recess is an important part of the day for students. You should check out the work of Playworks - www.playworks.org Thanks for the kind words, Alyssa!Jun 15 2011: this topic and the comments below open a critical eye to instances of recess or play being restricted in U.S. public schools and the detriment that may result. social bonding most certainly occurs within the realm of sports and play
Jun 15 2011: you are absolutely right, Alberto! Lack of recess for students in the US is a BIG issue with BIG ramifications. There are some great organizations that are fighting a "noble" fight to enlighten + encourage civic leaders to recognize the role & value of play/recess/sports. social bonding is a great outcome from sport too! thanks for the comment!Jun 15 2011: Mr Carroll - What are the biggest issues you are fighting to change?
Jun 15 2011: Right now I'm supporting personally literacy/education & access to sport/recess/play. I also support global organizations that are using sport/play as a social innovation to address - social inclusion, HIV/AIDS, homelessness, conflict resoulution.Jun 15 2011: Look at the movie Invictus.
Jun 15 2011: What does this have to do with social innovation values in sports? We don't have the time to do a quick stop and watch on a movie for this Q&A ;-)
Jun 15 2011: Yes, but the story is all about sport for social change + rallying a nation thru sports. If time permits, the TED community should watch the film.
Jun 15 2011: At TEDxBuenos Aires I've watched a TEDxTalk by Lisa Solmirano titled "A match against indifference". It was a talk about sport and social inclusion. She's director at Fu.De.
Fu.De. (Football for Development Foundation) is responsible for strengthening and further developing the network streetfootballworld (Street Football World) in Latin America.
Here's a short video depicting their activism on this field:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO-Y5EBRMjYJun 15 2011: Actually, I got to hear the Invictus story directly from AB Desmond Tutu before the movie came out in theaters - he shared it beautifully! Btw, I did see the movie & enjoyed it.Jun 15 2011: Hey, Kevin. Thanks for sharing your story. I wonder, which values exactly did sport instill in you?
Jun 15 2011: Thanks Sergio! Sports provided a sense of belonging, taught me discipline, how to problem-solving + to be inventive.Jun 15 2011: Hey Kevin,
I find sports can go a long way in helping kids understand not only teamwork, but cultural differences in a way that encourages them to embraces other cultures to achieve a common goal. Has this been your experience?
Jun 15 2011: Sports transcends ethnicity, culture, language barriers - we all DO speak ball & there's many stories supporting this insight. check out: www.beyondsport.org for global examples of sport for social change.

Recipe by Jose
"This south-of-the-border cornbread salad is made with Mexican-inspired ingredients and is perfect for any summer barbeque."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (8.5 ounce) package
dry corn bread mix
1 (4 ounce) can
chopped green chile peppers
2 (16 ounce) cans
pinto beans, drained
1 (16 ounce) bottle
Ranch-style salad dressing
green bell pepper, chopped
2 (15.25 ounce) cans
whole kernel corn, drained
tomatoes, chopped
1 (3 ounce) can
bacon bits
8 ounces
shredded Cheddar cheese
green onions
I made this twice for family events. Everyone liked it both times but being from Texas, everyone said it needed to be spicier the first time so here's what I did. I switched the regular corn to Mexi corn (has red and green bell peppers in it). I used the hot green chili peppers instead of the mild. I added a teaspoon of cumin to the ranch salad dressing. We all liked it even better the second time (with the extra spice).
Next time I make it I'm going to use pico de gallo (chunky salsa) instead of just straight tomatoes.
This was a bit of work and was not all that popular with my co-workers at our summer potluck. It was very pretty to look at it, and one or two enjoyed it, but it made a lot and I threw almost half of it away. I will not make again.

EXCELLENT! Serves 12 easily. I prefer making the ranch dressing from the package as the dressing is very important to the salad. I used 1 package Ranch dressing, 1 cup mayo and 1 cup sour cream. Also added a bit of cumin,oregano and chili powder. Try different cheeses...Monteray Jack and mild cheddar are nice. I prefer making this the day before as all the flavors blend. You'll get raves from this easy, colorful and scrumptious
salad. A big winner in my book!!!!!
Great recipe! Very different. It tastes better if you make it a day ahead. Also, the recipe says it's for 6 servings but it's more like for 12-15. Unless you are feeding a big crowd, I would cut this back by at least half.
This was a hit at our Labor Day BBQ. I added layers of sliced black olives and used the Sour Cream Dressing recipe on this site in place of the bottled dressing. It looks beautiful and festive in a trifle bowl and is definitely not your ordinary salad. Awesome recipe, Jose! Thx.
I found a similar recipe to this in Southern Living magazine last summer. I added teh chiles TO the corn bread mix along w/ a little taco seasoning to make a mexican corn bread. I also used 1 can black beans instead of pinto, layered w/ romaine lettuce, real bacon instead of the bits and use Montery Jack cheese instead of plain cheddar.
Overall this is a great salad that you can adjust to your own liking! It does make a huge bowl, so make sure you've got plenty to eat it!!!
This was a hit at a recent get-together! I used Kraft Cilantro Pepper flavored Ranch dressing that I think made it even better. The bacon bits aren't really necessary for this dish to work! Try this recipe...it's easy and delicious!
Gosh...What can I say about a recipe that has had everyone that I have EVER served it too flippin' out? Not enough, apparently. This salad is FANTASTIC and I have made it over 6 times for different occasions. I HIGHLY reccommend that you try this and have some fun with it. Some substitutions I have made are using differnet Ranch dressings (a spicy Texas ranch was a HUGE hit) plus I've changed the beans from pinto to black beans, I've changed the cheese. It's very flexible, so have fun! Really, though...it's FABULOUS! make it, make it, make it!!! Oh yeah, also I make/serve it on a really big colorful platter, and garnish it with a red or green jalapeno pepper.ENJOY!!!

She\'s about to get big D-cups and even though I love big tits, I hate it when a girl goes and ruins a perfectly good thing. But after watching Miya suck cock, I think you\'ll agree that there\'s absolutely no way you can ruin a girl who inhales cock like she\'s going for an Olympic medal in...I dunno...cock inhaling. Miya plays with his dick like a girl who is used to playing with her food before she completely devours it.

Councilman Philip M. Andrews is the sole candidate to file so far for Montgomery County executive, and the career firefighters union fears that if Andrews becomes the next executive in 2014, he would do more harm than good.
"He's viewed as someone who doesn't support the unions, especially us," said John Sparks, president of the Montgomery County Career Fire Fighters Association Inc., International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1664. "When it's something to do with unions, something we've done with collective bargaining, he opposes it."
Andrews has not had the union's endorsement since 2002, Spark said, and yet Andrews is serving his fourth term on the council.
"The unions definitely play a significant role in elections in the county, but it's one factor in the outcome of the election. It's not the only one, of course," Andrews said. "I think that the key issue in any race is does a candidate stand up for what is in the public interest. My record is well known on the council for more than 14 years."
For most of his tenure, the union and Andrews (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg have been on the outs, with retirement changes, pay increases, ambulance fees, and a street-side fundraiser deepening the chasm between the two.
But not every issue. Andrews supported issues including four-person staffing on apparatus and sprinklers in new homes.
"Firefighters are wonderful people and we ought to be grateful that these people devote their lives and their energies to serving the people of Montgomery County," he said.
Montgomery County Volunteer Fire-Rescue Association Executive Director Eric Bernard did not have an ill word of Andrews.
"Phil is the greatest guy," Bernard said. "Phil has been a friend of the fire department since the day he walked on that council."
Yet when it comes to most of his votes, Andrews and the firefighters union rarely see eye to eye.
"I ask myself, 'What is in the public interest?' on any particular issue," Andrews said, noting he does not accept campaign dollars from any special interests.
Among his key considerations when he votes, Andrews said, are whether a policy is cost-effective and if it will improve public safety, public health and general welfare.
Despite Andrews' clear stance, union leaders often are left scratching their heads.
"It's really mind-boggling some of the positions he takes," Sparks said. "It's gotta be because he is anti-union; it's the only thing I can think of."
Andrews said he is not anti-union, but that his job is different from that of the union.
"I don't take a position because a group asks me to," he said. "I listen to everybody, but I decide for myself after listening whether its something that I think is in the public interest or not."
Bernard called the disconnect between the councilman and the union ironic given Andrews' progressive stance on issues, even if he is fiscally conservative.
In April, Andrews stood alone in opposing union-negotiated raises for employees, arguing that while employees deserved increases, they were excessive and unsustainable.
Last year, he continued opposing an ambulance fee, calling it bad policy that drew lines based on where someone resided.
Overturned by voters in 2010, the fee, now a reimbursement program, narrowly passed the council in 2012. In fiscal year 2014, the county estimates it will generate about $18 million.
In 2011, Andrews tried to prevent charitable solicitation by county employees during work hours. The measure would have effectively ended firefighters' annual fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association known as Fill the Boot, which typically raises between $200,000 and $250,000 for local families.
"I don't want people soliciting in the street. It's unsafe; it's unsafe for firefighters," Andrews said.
Yet in nearly 30 years, not one firefighter has been hurt, Sparks said.
In 2007, Andrews opposed a 20-year retirement provision for firefighters, saying it raised retirement costs for the county.
"We spend a lot of money to train firefighters, and we want them to stay, not leave, when in the prime of their career," he said.
Sparks said only 10 people have taken advantage of 20-year retirement since it passed the council.
Despite their differences, Sparks said the rift is not personal.
"I have nothing against Phil personally. He's been very open and honest with us," he said.

How To Buy Snowboard Base Layers
Effective layering ensures high-performance snowboard comfort by keeping
you dry, warm, and protected from the elements. With pieces that can be added or
removed as needed, you can weather fast-changing winter conditions or tailor your apparel to your
activity level. Remember to dress for the coldest or most extreme weather you anticipate.
The importance of layering
Return To Top
Layer one: long underwear/base layer
Tops and pants in the base layer function mainly to keep you dry and
maintain body temperature. By helping
perspiration evaporate quickly, this layer prevents heat escape and chafing,
allowing you to ride longer in comfort.
Long underwear also contributes to overall warmth.
Functional requirements
Comfort is key for the base layer. These garments should be soft,
moisture wicking, and gently warming.
Layer two: insulating tops & pants
The insulating layer is designed to provide long-wearing, reliable
Layer three: outerwear

The Importance of Music in Schools
In the past several years, and even decades, the question of how important music is to a child's education has come up time and time again. Despite the fact that music is such a major part of the lives of many individuals, people are still uncertain as to how they feel; yet quite a few good reasons exist for music to remain in schools.
Top 10 Benefits of Listening to Classical Music
Classical music has a reputation not only for being erudite and enriching, but also for having a calming effect on both the body and soul of those who listen to it. Many health benefits have been connected with the practice of listening to classical music; here are ten reasons why you might want to make it a part of your daily routine.
Villa-lobos – Biography on Brazilian Composer
Born Heitor Villa-Lobos in 1887 in Rio de Janeiro, he began life during a period of upheaval in Brazil. With the abolishing of slavery in 1888 and the Empire of Brazil in 1889, the musical landscape in which Villa-Lobos was raised transitioned from a heavy European influence to that of the local styling. Over his first few years, his musical interest was sparked by the weekly musical gatherings his father would host at their house, eventually leading him to master the cello, clarinet and guitar.
Cleaning Up a Moldy Piano
Lots of people who are new to the world of antique collection have made the mistake of purchasing an old piano without inspecting it carefully first, thereby letting its sometimes nasty odour slip right under their noses (pun intended). Cigarette smoke, rodent and bug infestations, and mold growth can all have a role in this foul smell. The pianos with mold in them will have a distinct musty smell which you should deal with promptly, because mold can travel through the rest of the house if not intercepted in time, and can be quite costly to fix if allowed to spread. Fortunately, you can do this in your home quite easily.
What causes it?
Pianos that are stored in dirty garages or damp basements – ideal places for mold and bugs to do their work – are most prone to developing an unpleasant smell over the years. This is especially true if the basement the piano was stored in got water damage due to a flood, tornado or hurricane. The CDC has warned that these pianos, along with other household furniture, could be harmful for the health of inhabitants if not properly treated.
What you'll require:
Here is a handy checklist of all the things you'll need to clean up your musty, smelly piano. Luckily, all the things on the list are fairly common household items:
- Water
- Vinegar
- Soft cloth
- Gloves
- Face mask
- Household bleach
- Baking soda
- Furniture polish
- Murphy's Oil
What to do:
- Begin by cleaning up the exterior of the piano. A soft cloth dipped in furniture polish should be used to wipe down wooden pianos. When you are cleaning up the exterior of pianos that aren't wooden, employ a feather duster to gently dust them. A slightly damp piece of cloth can be used as well. The piano keys should be cleaned with a damp cloth. The ones which are especially dirty can be dealt with using a tiny amount of whitening toothpaste that is wiped on them using a slightly wet cloth.
- Strong odours like cigarette smoke can be removed from the pianos exterior by wiping it down with a mild cleaning product e.g. Murphy's Oil.
- Vinegar solution should be used to clean the piano's inside. Milder smells can be removed by mixing 2 cups vinegar with 2 cups water. With a soft cloth dipped in this vinegar solution, thoroughly wipe down the piano's interior and leave it to air dry.
- Now comes the more tricky part – be sure to put on the gloves and face mask before proceeding. A stronger cleaning solution e.g. a solution of bleach may be required for pianos infested with rodents or bugs, or mold spores / mildew stains. In a room with plenty of ventilation, mix 3 cups of water and 1 of household bleach. Use this solution with a soft cloth to wipe down on the rodent/bug excrement, or mildew / mold
- If the smell lingers on, put an open baking soda box inside the piano and replace it every three months
If you are doubtful about your abilities to handle the job, there are plenty of professional mold remediators that can remove the mold infestation from your piano for a fee.

Professional modules to develop further the 'soft skills' needed to be a well-rounded accountant, have been introduced by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
The optional modules are open to both students and affiliates, designed to help them develop skills in communications, team working and relationship building. The modules will also help students in developing the skills they will need to demonstrate in the workplace in the completion of their practical experience requirements (PER). The two modules are:
- Communicating Effectively - covers different communication styles, barriers to effective communication and how impressions and judgements are formed. The modules also help to develop questioning and listening techniques as well as improving written, verbal and virtual communication skills.
- Working Relationships - covers interactions with others including preferences on ways to interact with people and the implications of this. It gives participants of the module the ability to understand the impact they have on those around them, as well as recognising the difference in reactions of other people and how to use this to build rapport. The module also helps to develop skills in giving and receiving feedback, and increase the ability to get viewpoints across.
Alan Hatfield, ACCA director of learning, said: 'It's not only important to have the technical expertise of the field you're working in, it is also vital to have soft skills to build good business relationships and communicate effectively.
'The two professional e-learning modules to develop these soft skills will enable ACCA students and affiliates to become more confident and capable finance professionals.
'The modules may also be of interest to employers and tuition providers to promote to their employees and students.
'We believe the ACCA Qualification prepares students to become complete finance professionals, with the skills required to meet the needs of employers. Through these developments, we continue to strengthen the competencies possessed by our members to meet the constantly changing needs of business today.'
To access the modules, visit ACCA's student virtual learning centre (link can be found via 'Related Links' section, left of this article). Login accounts need to be created for first-time users.

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Ana has been drawn to face either Iveta Benesova or Sanja Ancic in her first match at the Nasdaq-100 Open, which begins in Miami on Wednesday. Ana is seeded 14th for the event, the fifth biggest on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour calendar, and receives a bye into the second round. Her opening match is scheduled to take place on Friday or Saturday.
Ana's seeding is reflected in her current ranking of 16 and the fact that two players currently ranked ahead of her – Lindsay Davenport and Mary Pierce – have withdrawn from the event through injury.
Ana has never played wildcard Ancic, the 17-year-old sister of Croatian star Mario, but has twice played world No.43 Benesova and triumphed on both occasions: she beat the Czech 3-6, 7-6, 6-1 at the Australian Open in 2005 and 6-3, 6-1 at the French Open five months later.
Should Ana reach round three she will face either Spanish No.23 seed Annabel Medina Garrigues or a qualifer. World No.1 Amelie Mauresmo, whom Ana has beaten the last two times she has played the Frenchwoman, is a likely fourth round opponent. Were Ana to spring another big surprise and beat the top seed, she could play Nadia Petrova or Daniela Hantuchova at the last eight stage.
Possible semi-final opposition at this star-studded event includes third seed Justine Henin-Hardenne, Martina Hingis and Patty Schnyder. Ana cannot face the likes of Venus Williams, Maria Sharapova, Elena Dementieva or Kim Clijsters until the final because they are in the bottom half of the draw whereas Ana is in the top.

Fairfax County is hoping a change to its zoning ordinance will make it easier for nonprofit groups or other organizations to develop studio apartments for low-income people in the county.
Nothing prevents a private developer from including market rate studio or efficiency units in commercial apartment buildings now, said Donna Pesto, of the county's Department of Planning and Zoning, "but nobody's built it."
The proposed zoning ordinance change is aimed at producing buildings consisting exclusively of studio apartments that are reserved for people with very low incomes.
Programs in other areas have successfully used this type of housing, paired with supportive services like financial literacy programs, job counseling and substance abuse or mental health treatment, to help bring people out of homelessness and into a more stable living situation.
The draft zoning amendment would allow up to 75 rental units on a lot. At least 70 percent of the units would be limited to residents earning less than 50 percent of area median income and the remainder would be limited to residents earning less than 70 percent of area median income.
The units would be limited to no larger than 500 square feet and must include a kitchen and bathroom.
Those wishing to build these types of facilities would need to go through the special exception approval process, which includes a hearing before the Board of Supervisors.
Getting a first look at the proposed amendment Tuesday, some board members said they are generally supportive of the concept but have some concerns about allowing these types of facilities in neighborhoods of single-family homes.
Given the county's history of illegal boarding houses, some supervisors said they want to ensure changing the zoning code wouldn't inadvertently make those legal.
Supervisors also had concerns about potentially allowing people to construct rental apartments in their homes.
"That's fine in a city … [but] you can't have these in single family residential communities," said Supervisor John Cook (R-Braddock), referring to the basement efficiency apartments that are common in many cities.
Pesto said zoning staff would review and update the draft ordinance to ensure that was not the case.
All types of residential zoning districts were included in the zoning amendment to allow institutions such as churches that are on residentially zoned land to potentially construct such facilities.
The Board of Supervisors will consider adopting the zoning amendment in late spring.

Saturday, April 17, 2004BLACKSBURG, Va. (April 17, 2004) - The East Tennessee State women's tennis team beat No. 65 Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. Saturday night. The win comes after a loss this afternoon to No. 38 William & Mary. With the win over the Hokies, ETSU improves to 16-12 overall, while Virginia Tech drops to 12-11. ETSU won the crucial doubles point with a sweep in all three slots. Mariya Ilyina (Kyiv, Ukraine) and Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland) battled to a 9-7 finish against Anat Elazari and Felice Lam. At No. 2, Jessica Irey (Clewiston, Fla.) and Gemma Halim (Jakarta, Indonesia) overpowered Ashley James and Carolyn Kramer, 8-4. Wrapping up doubles action at No. 3, Courtney McInnis (Waterboro, Maine) and Aimee Villavicencio (Lexington, Ky.) took the match against Meredith Holmes and Carolina Rodriguez in an 8-6 decision. In singles action, ETSU took three wins from Ziolkowska at No. 2 (6-1, 6-0), Halim at No. 3 (6-2, 6-3), and Ilyina and No. 5 (6-1, 6-2) to win the match. "This is the best win of my career at ETSU," said head coach Steve Brooks. "The team was tired from playing 4 straight matches, including the match against No. 38 ranked William & Mary. Still they were able to come out strong and compete strong. It was a great experience and a great win." Having completed their regular season play, the Bucs look to keep the momentum going as they head into Southern Conference tournament next week. ETSU 4, Virginia Tech 1 Doubles 1.

I have been thinking (drooling actually) about the Metalpro for my small one-man shop but could not justify the expense until a job came in recently that I could not do without this machine. IT IS FANTASTIC! Best purchase I have made since my first Miller. This is a factory-reconditioned demo that I got from the manufaturer for $3100 + shipping. (For stats on this machine, go to metalprocorp.com)
That was the good news. The bad news was they wanted nearly $600 for a brake that would handle 8" X 1/4". So I figured I could make my own. As usual, it took a few hours of trial and error, but I finally got it.
The 1st picture shows the machine, the 2nd shows the multi-purpose shear it comes with, the 3rd shows the brake I made and then a picture of the brake in the machine.

I don't have any plans as such-pretty much made it up as I went. But I will take some more detailed pictures and give the diminsions of the material.
And thanks, Bob.
Very cool dude! I had access to a huge ironworker at my last job, and man are they handy. Hopefully I'll be able to get one like yours in the near future.

The verticles are 1/2" square stock and the horizontals are 3/8" X 1 1/2" flat. The designer wanted the verticals to be continuous through the horizontals. Theoretically, I could have drilled oversized round holes and filled with weld, but that was not what the designer wanted. And besides, why would I want a reason to not get this machine?
East Fork 1 (Medium).jpg
The bad thing about your Iron Worker is now that you have one youll never be able to work without one again.
Dont be cheap, as soon as you can afford the punch dies get all of them.
Theres no sense in having an Iron Worker if you still have to drill holes because you dont have the right die.
I picked up my 40 Ton Scotchman Iron Worker up for about $ 2600.00 without any punch dies back in about 1995, It was pretty much brand new. An old guy bought it never used it and his son sold it to me all the tables still had the original paint on them.
Its been a great machine. The iron worker is the most valueable tool besides my welder.

The Navy is reviving efforts to build a new fleet of helicopters for the president, with research, development and acquisition efforts heavily focused at the Naval Air Systems Command, headquartered on the Patuxent River Naval Air Station. This is the second attempt in recent years to replace Marine One aircraft.
Attention on the presidential helicopter program, now known as VXX, will likely be intense. The Department of Defense shuttered the program (then called VH-71) in 2009 due to cost and scheduling overruns, as well as concerns about meeting aircraft performance requirements. Meanwhile, Congress continues to debate massive budget cuts to federal agencies.
About three years ago, the government stripped Lockheed Martin Systems Integration of its contract, which led to at least 80 layoffs in St. Mary's County. A new building had been constructed at Pax River to house the presidential helicopter program. Part of the problem, a report to Congress by the Congressional Research Service said, was "the VH-71 program began with a compressed schedule dictated by White House needs stemming from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks." The old program originally was slated to provide 23 helicopters to support the president for $6.5 billion. The cost escalated to an estimated $13 billion and, the report said, efforts fell six years behind schedule.
This time, "It is the government's desire to hold development to an absolute minimum on the VXX Program," NAVAIR wrote in a solicitation draft, posted in December, for bidders to produce the helicopters. Companies are expected to submit offers showcasing aircraft that are improvements to existing designs, rather than designs that have to be produced from scratch. NAVAIR is moving forward, with explicit guidelines set by the Government Accountability Office, which was directed to report on VXX program progress to Congress each year through 2013.
The GAO reported last year that the agency also met with defense contractors from Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. to discuss ways to sustain the current presidential helicopter fleet until replacements are in flight. Requests for comment from NAVAIR and Sikorsky were not returned by deadline.
According to the GAO, planned modifications to the older aircraft, the VH-3D and the VH-60N, include upgrades to instrumentation panels and radio and cryptographic communications, providing all 11 VH-3Ds with rotor blades to improve the amount of weight they can lift, and extending the life of the aircraft from 4,000 flight hours to 18,000 for the VH-3D and 14,000 hours for the VH-60N.
It's an opportunity for government to streamline aspects of acquisition and development, and a chance for companies to make important contributions to defense, one industry spokesman said.
"One of the issues with government procurement, in the defense sphere, is changing requirements," said Dan Stohr, a spokesman for Aerospace Industries Association. "That was part of what plagued the original contract award."
Stohr was referring to additions that, over time, had been proposed for the aircraft. Additions to the older fleet had become a concern, so much that the GAO said they added weight to the aircraft — decreasing other aspects of mission capability.
"Certainly, we in industry are doing the very best to provide the best equipment possible and fulfill our fiduciary responsibilities," Stohr said. "We would like the most efficient way to get a contract, get to production and put a lot of people to work."

Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 67 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Mimi Expensive but very good Feet feel great while hiking. Not too tight around the ankles. Good cushioning. Expensive though. July 28, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by spyrockhiker Ok Synthetic Sock. This my first pair of socks that I bought as I was getting back into hiking. I am glad that I got this sock for my first pair. This pair is great for a nice day hike. I have had no blisters and it will keep the sweat off your feet for the most part. Now if you are looking for a serious, long-lasting, moisture-wicking sock, I recommend you looking at a hiking wool sock. A wool sock from the top two hiking wool sock makers will do a much better job ( DA** T**GH and Sm**t W**l). July 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Lesnac Luv, luv, luv these socks. I had so much trouble finding shoes that were comfortable until I tried these socks. It's wasn't the shoes at all. Now I wear these socks with tennis shoes and stay comfy all day. July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by NWBearHiker Dry and blister free I wire them the very next day on a moderately difficult climb. surprisingly when we reached the summit my undershirt was drenched. I went for my pack to change socks after removing my hiking boots, my feet were still dry and no sign of moisture. to say the least i was very pleased. June 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Hiking DAD Provided great blister prevention cussion, Not as dry wicking as I expected. My first hike using this product was only about 2 miles but gave me a good chance to evaluate them. While these were the most comfortable socks I have worn in a long time, The moisture wicking feature was less impressive than I expected. (Unless my feet sweat more than the average guy) I will say that the fit was great. I am a 9.5 shoe and I expected the medium size to be too large and have the heal portion ride up higher but it fit perfectly.(Which is very unusual for any sock on my foot) Overall a good value for the money and the fact that I found them at a fair price the night before my trip was a huge bonus. April 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Trek Overhill great socks These are lite and compressable. I wear them in work and play. April 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Mark B ok Run a bit small in size but are very warm and comfortable March 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Hw Socks are great. These socks appeared to be thick to the touch but once on, were just the perfect thickness for me. Had to order on line as I couldn't find them at my local stoe. Wish they came in more colors. July 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by JO64 LOOKS GREAT, ABSORBENT, SUPPORTING. It is thick enough to be absorbent but not to thick to fit the shoes well. I love this sock. Wish it came in other colors. December 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by hiker girl No blisters! Long hours of hiking and no blisters! My husband didn't use these socks, and well he had several blisters. I love my socks. August 6, 2012

The NFL is so arbitrary in what it will allow on YouTube. This full game sits there for months without disturbance but other uploads cause them to pounce on you.
Notice the first spotlighted comment under that video. The user claims he's going to post the Dolphins/Bears game from 1985. I already tried that. Linked the segments on Finheaven, in fact.
Months later I received one warning and threat after another. I had to yank everything related to that game. At least my channel is still running. I've been able to upload college games, like Miami/Notre Dame 1988 last night.
The user in this case is not as fortunate. I clicked on his name and received this summary:
"ZeppNick03 has been terminated because we received multiple third-party claims of copyright infringement regarding material the user posted."

ONCE AGIAN IT IS A FREE PROGRAM (Unlike VMWare or Parallels for Windows)
With Microsoft 2007, you can create and run one or more virtual machines, each with its own operating system, on a single computer. This provides you with the flexibility to use different operating systems on one physical computer.
For more information about the ways you can use virtual machines, see Virtual PC at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=78095.
Step 1: System Requirements
Basically Virtual PC can run on any computer although the better your computer the better it will run and if you have a really shitty computer it probably won't run to well. Although the average computer should manage to run it very well.
Processor: AMD Athlon/Duron, Intel Celeron, Intel Pentium II, Intel Pentium III, Intel Pentium 4, Intel Core Duo, and Intel Core2 Duo
RAM: Add the RAM requirement for the host operating system that you will be using to the requirement for the guest operating system that you will be using. If you will be using multiple guest operating systems simultaneously, total the requirements for all the guest operating systems that you need to run simultaneously.
Available disk space: To determine the hard disk space required, add the requirement for each guest operating system that will be installed.
It's a bit late but yep it will work.
or, if you have a Mac, use Q (same thing, shorter name):
Sure, its just an emulator, but it seems to work...
I can run the XO-1's OS using this! =D
