Need some help in setting up an informal ESL class
I've been informally tutoring my friends' kids in preparing for the New York State English standardized tests, and my friends have been happy enough with how it's going that they have now proposed another arrangement. They would like me to teach a beginning ESL class for a small group of their business's employees who are struggling with English skills. I would teach a 2-hour class of about 4-5 people once a week. My friends don't know what the going rate for that kind of instruction is in NYC, and I don't either. [more inside]
Help me teach an informal ESL class on writing?
Hi! I often eat in a certain restaurant, and one of the people who works there asked if I would help her with her writing in English. I am very happy to help, but I have no idea how to do this. She speaks very good English, but she said her writing is very bad. (Her first language is Spanish.) I am meeting with her (and maybe a few of her co-workers) for the first time this week -- any ideas on what we should do? I thought I'd start out with dictation, but any ideas would be much appreciated!

How do I get started in tutoring?
I'm thinking about trying to get into tutoring, particularly English tutoring. I've worked with ESL students via the internet before, but that has been on a mutual basis: I've helped them improve their English while they helped me improve my German. What steps would I need to take to get started in my area? Do I need any particular qualifications? Should I go to the schools, or perhaps to the University in town? How does one get started in tutoring as a part-time job?

Research Institution:
AbstractThis SBIR project addresses the need for a system that will provide automated lunar surface stabilization via hybrid microwave heating. Surface stabilization is paramount to future lunar missions due to severe complications from dust on the Apollo space missions. This project focuses on development of a microwave surface solidification device, which could be incorporated into a roving system, to provide adequate working planes for robotic and manned operations. Phase I will demonstrate microwave system feasibility using advanced computer modeling and sophisticated laboratory experimentation with lunar simulant. Research will target surface heating of deep powder beds to best simulate in-situ use. Microwaves coupled with radiant heat sources will maximize heating efficiency. Hybrid microwave heating models will provide process optimization, direct correlations to lunar regolith heating, and a foundation for advanced automated control systems. Ceralink has assembled a team including research partner Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and commercialization partner Gerling Applied Engineering to successful bring this technology from a TRL 2 to a TRL 4 in Phase I. The team is well positioned to achieve TRL 6 with prototype demonstrations by the completion of Phase II, and ultimately deliver a fully functioning system.

Health & Parenting
Supernanny Jo Frost's Top Three Tips for Parents
What highlights can we expect to see in the new season of Supernanny? Any particularly challenging families?
We're dealing with quite a few teenagers this season. We're seeing the relationships that form between teenagers and their parents, the challenges and the struggles, basically the middle ground between them not being young children and not yet being in adulthood. And there are a few resistant parents and a little bit of drama there, since we're taking a look at families where I'm closely interacting with the relationship between the parents, as well. I salute every family who has the courage to call for my help knowing that there will be a camera crew in the house!
How do you take care of your own health when you're constantly on the road, traveling from one family's house to another? What is your own travel schedule like? When do you get the time to exercise?
It's crazy, I've got to say. There is a very harsh, relentless schedule. I think people think I'm joking when I tell them that I actually live out of my suitcase. I really do. I don't have a base, I'm kind of like a gypsy or the circus. I've been traveling like this for five years, and some days we'd be filming 18 hours. Every two weeks I'm on a plane again and traveling for seven hours. The lack of consistency means you start all over again. I'd be consistent for two weeks, then fall off the wagon because I wouldn't know where I was going next. I wasn't happy with the weight gain I had accumulated. It was unhealthy for me and I said, "No, I need to change this. My health is important." I looked at my schedule and decided that I'd get up at 5 a.m. and work out for two hours. I lift weights and I do cardio -- I change it up, but I like the elliptical trainer. Nothing comes in between me and that! There are days that the alarm goes off at 5, and I stare at it and think, "How badly do you want this?" And the answer is: I want my health badly.

The Gunners moved back up into fourth place after their 4-1 home win over Wigan on Tuesday night sent the FA Cup winners down.
Spurs are a point behind their north London rivals, and with an inferior goal difference so have to secure victory over Sunderland, who are now safe, and hope the Gunners draw or are beaten on Tyneside.
Lloris accepts should Andre Villas-Boas' men lose sight of producing their own required performance, then it will not matter what happens anywhere else.
Speaking to the club's official website, www.tottenhamhotspur.com, the France international said: "We can't think about the Arsenal result, we have to think about our performance, we need three points and from there, we can see what happens.
"It won't be easy. Sunderland have good players, a good team and when we played against them in December, it was a tough game. That was a good result for us.
"It has been difficult for them and a number of teams concerned with relegation.
"Paolo di Canio has realised his objective, he has saved the team in the Premier League and it is never easy to play against a team that has no pressure."

Ivanovic made his 200th Blues appearance in Thursday night's 1-0 unconvincing Europa League last-32 first-leg win at Sparta Prague as boss Rafael Benitez and Fernando Torres' blushes were spared by a delightful 82nd-minute goal from substitute Oscar, his sixth in Europe this term.
Serbia defender Ivanovic, who started ahead of club captain John Terry, now hopes Chelsea can advance in knockout competitions at Stamford Bridge at the expense of npower League One Brentford and Sparta, before travelling to Manchester City in the Premier League.
"It was a very important game for us to win and to keep the momentum going," said Ivanovic, after Chelsea followed up the 4-1 Premier League defeat of Wigan.
"(The lack of consistency) has been very difficult for us, but we are a team that can build and we have to think about this.
"We have to improve every game, every session and we hope it will be fine in the end.
"It was our first game in the Europa League and it was difficult, but we got the goal and that gave us the advantage.
"Sometimes in a different competition you're not sure what to expect in the games, but now we know much better. It was a good win for us."

|Books released during the week of October 6, 2014
|The Bhagavad Gita:
A Biography
Richard H. Davis
"This is an exciting book about an exciting book, namely, the Bhagavad Gita, a text in which Hinduism comes closest to possessing a universal scripture. Davis traces the varying course of its semantic trajectory through history with erudite clarity. A must-read for anyone interested in the Gita."–Arvind Sharma, author of Gandhi: A Spiritual Biography
|Biomolecular Feedback Systems
Domitilla Del Vecchio & Richard M. Murray
"This is an excellent compendium of the most important techniques and results in the application of feedback and control to biomolecular systems. Biomolecular Feedback Systems is very timely, and a must-read for students and researchers."–Ernesto Estrada, University of Strathclyde
|Birds of New Guinea:
Second Edition
Thane K. Pratt & Bruce M. Beehler
Illustrated by John C. Anderton & Szabolcs Kókay
Praise for the first edition:"This book is not only indispensable to any bird-watcher visiting New Guinea and the adjacent islands, but, owing to the wealth of its information, it will be of great interest to anyone who is seriously interested in birds."–American Scientist
|Birds of Western Africa:
Second Edition
Nik Borrow & Ron Demey
Praise for the first edition:"Invaluable for serious birders and scientists working in or visiting the area. It would also make an excellent addition to a collection of field guides for home or office use."–Condor
|The Birth of Hedonism:
The Cyrenaic Philosophers and Pleasure as a Way of Life
Kurt Lampe
"The Cyrenaics were the earliest philosophical hedonists. Evidence for their views is limited, but Kurt Lampe combines expert historical scholarship and imaginative sympathy to offer a compelling account of what they believed, what it might have been like to inhabit their worldview, and why it matters today. His itinerary takes him in the end to Walter Pater, who offered late Victorians the profound experience and attractions of a 'new Cyrenaicism.' This is a learned and important book, in which Lampe, like Pater, brings aspects of a lost Greek philosophical past to life."–Charles Martindale, University of Bristol and University of York
|Change They Can't Believe In:
The Tea Party and Reactionary Politics in America
Christopher S. Parker & Matt A. Barreto
With a new afterword by the authors
"A scathing analysis of the Tea Party movement, linking it in spirit to the Ku Klux Klan and the John Birch Society. Taking today's conservative populists to be dangerous and their ideas self-incriminating, the authors speculate that Tea Party supporters may perceive of social change as subversion. Based on research and interviews, they suggest racism, desire for social dominance . . . drives the Tea Party."–Publishers Weekly
|The Fourth Pig
Naomi Mitchison
With a new introduction by Marina Warner
"At her best, Naomi Mitchison is forthright and witty, writes with brio and passion and lucidity, and conveys a huge appetite for life, for people, for new adventures, and for breaking through barriers."–From the introduction by Marina Warner
|Genealogy of the Tragic:
Greek Tragedy and German Philosophy
Joshua Billings
"There is no body of work as important for understanding the idea of the tragic as German Idealism, which fundamentally changed modernity's notions of tragedy. I can think of no better guide to these formidable writings than Joshua Billings, who takes the reader through them with clarity, deep knowledge, and revelatory exposition. A great achievement, this is a book that scholars and students of tragedy have needed for years."–Simon Goldhill, University of Cambridge
|The Great Rebalancing:
Trade, Conflict, and the Perilous Road Ahead for the World Economy
Michael Pettis
With a new preface by the author
"[Michael Pettis is] a brilliant economic thinker."–Edward Chancellor, Wall Street Journal
|How to Solve It:
A New Aspect of Mathematical Method
G. Polya
With a foreword by John Conway
"Every prospective teacher should read it. In particular, graduate students will find it invaluable. The traditional mathematics professor who reads a paper before one of the Mathematical Societies might also learn something from the book: 'He writes a, he says b, he means c; but it should be d.'"–E. T. Bell, Mathematical Monthly
|Inheriting Abraham:
The Legacy of the Patriarch in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
Jon D. Levenson
"[T]he figure of Abraham has more often been a battleground than a meeting place. This is the brilliantly elaborated theme of Levenson's book, which retells the Abraham story while examining the use made of Abraham in later Jewish, Christian, and (to a lesser extent) Muslim thought."–Adam Kirsch, New York Review of Books
|Latino Catholicism:
Transformation in America's Largest Church
Timothy Matovina
"Matovina gives a detailed examination of the different pastoral approaches that have been adopted to deal with the influx of Latino immigrants, with some advocating the need to assimilate quickly to American ways and others preferring to focus on preserving the religious and cultural heritage that the immigrants have brought with them. . . . Matovina's book should be mandatory reading for all bishops, clergy, and lay leaders, and for anyone else who wants to understand the future of American Catholicism."–Michael Sean Winters, New Republic
|The Life of Roman Republicanism
Joy Connolly
"As a demonstration of how reading Roman literature becomes absorbing political argument, this book succeeds brilliantly. Joy Connolly possesses a keen mind and her approach is informed by an astonishing stock of contemporary intellectual perspectives. She is also a deeply imaginative reader with a gift for explaining complex ideas lucidly and compellingly. I learned a great deal from this book: about Hannah Arendt and Philip Pettit as well as about Cicero, Sallust, and Horace."—Andrew Feldherr, Princeton University
|The Meaning of Relativity:
Including the Relativistic Theory of the Non-Symmetric Field (Fifth Edition)
Albert Einstein
With a new introduction by Brian Greene
"A condensed unified presentation intended for one who has already gone through a standard text and digested the mechanics of tensor theory and the physical basis of relativity. Einstein's little book then serves as an excellent tying-together of loose ends and as a broad survey of the subject."–Physics Today
|Poetic Trespass:
Writing between Hebrew and Arabic in Israel/Palestine
Lital Levy
"This is a work of immense accomplishment dedicated to understanding what it means to write in two languages about a condition of life that is, at once, both shared and separate. Lital Levy's critical speculations are careful and courageous as her beautiful prose moves back and forth across the borderline of Israel/Palestine, forging a way of moving toward a solidarity built of sorrow and survival, failure and hope. Read Poetic Trespass and reflect anew on the ethical and poetic possibilities of a translational dialogue in a star-crossed region."–Homi Bhabha, Harvard University
|Power Lines:
Phoenix and the Making of the Modern Southwest
Andrew Needham
"Rarely does a work of history unite so many seemingly disconnected fields of inquiry in such new and exciting ways. Masterfully interweaving urban, Native American, and environmental history, Power Lines is a sobering assessment of Phoenix's expansive postwar development. The legacies of the region's coal-powered history continue to shape contemporary politics, spaces, and our shared environmental future, making Power Lines as timely as it is insightful."–Ned Blackhawk, Yale University
The Strange Theory of Light and Matter
Richard P. Feynman
With a new introduction by A. Zee
"Physics Nobelist Feynman simply cannot help being original. In this quirky, fascinating book, he explains to laymen the quantum theory of light, a theory to which he made decisive contributions."–The New Yorker
|The Struggle for Equality:
Abolitionists and the Negro in the Civil War and Reconstruction
James M. McPherson
With a new preface by the author
"Must surely be assigned an important place in the literature of the history of ideas and of race relations in the United States."–The Times Literary Supplement
|Theories of International Politics and Zombies:
Revived Edition
Daniel W. Drezner
"Drezner . . . comes up with an intriguing intellectual conceit to explain various schools of international political theory. He imagines a world overrun with zombies and considers the likely responses of national governments, the U.N and other international organizations, and nongovernment organizations (NGOs). . . . This slim book is an imaginative and very helpful way to introduce its subject–who knew international relations could be this much fun?"–Publishers Weekly
|Theory of Stellar Atmospheres:
An Introduction to Astrophysical Non-equilibrium Quantitative Spectroscopic Analysis
Ivan Hubeny & Dimitri Mihalas
"This eagerly anticipated book is an excellent guide for anyone interested in radiation transport in astrophysics, as well as for those wanting to make detailed analyses of astrophysical spectra. Comprehensive, lucid, and stimulating, Theory of Stellar Atmospheres is ideal for students and scientists alike."–Bengt Gustafsson, Uppsala University
|Told Again:
Old Tales Told Again
Walter de la Mare
With a new introduction by Philip Pullman
Illustrated by A. H. Watson
Praise for previous editions: "Walter de la Mare has given the familiar old tales so much sparkle and humor and romance that they are like new stories."–Horn Book Magazine
|The Two-Mile Time Machine:
Ice Cores, Abrupt Climate Change, and Our Future
Richard B. Alley
With a new preface by the author
"Although not all scientists will agree with Alley's conclusions, [this] engaging book–a brilliant combination of scientific thriller, memoir and environmental science–provides instructive glimpses into our climatic past and global future . . . "–Publisher's Weekly
|Worldly Philosopher:
The Odyssey of Albert O. Hirschman
Jeremy Adelman
"[A] biography worthy of the man. Adelman brilliantly and beautifully brings Hirschman to life, giving us an unforgettable portrait of one of the twentieth century's most extraordinary intellectuals. . . . [M]agnificent."–Malcolm Gladwell, New Yorker
The Imitation Game official trailer
In THE IMITATION GAME. in theaters November 21, 2014, Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Alan Turing, the genius British mathematician, logician, cryptologist and computer scientist who led the charge to crack the German Enigma Code that helped the Allies win WWII. Turing went on to assist with the development of computers at the University of Manchester after the war, but was prosecuted by the UK government in 1952 for homosexual acts which the country deemed illegal. [(c) The Weinstein Company. Source: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_imitation_game/]
This major motion picture is inspired by Andrew Hodges's widely acclaimed biography. We previously published a centenary edition of the biography in 2012, but we are releasing a completely redesigned, movie-edition of the book this November. The new edition will have a reader-friendly interior, feature a film still on the cover, and also include a new preface that brings the story up to date including the royal pardon of Turing in 2014.
Read the book, see the movie, and celebrate an unlikely hero who cracked the Enigma code and inspired modern day computing.
The book that inspired the film:

Butting Heads (and iPhones): Economists Robert Gordon and Joel Mokyr Duke it Out in the Wall Street Journal
Northwestern Professors of Economics Robert Gordon and Joel Mokyr just can't seem to get along.
In this past weekend's edition of The Wall Street Journal, the two voice some distinctly adverse ideas about technological innovation in the twenty-first century – on the one hand, its success, and on the other, its stagnation.
Professor Mokyr, author of The Gifts of Athena: Historical Origins of the Knowledge Economy and co-author of The Invention of Enterprise: Entrepreneurship from Ancient Mesopotamia to Modern Times is an economic historian who's altogether positive about the economic direction of the world-at-large. But this isn't just blind optimism; in fact, it's due in large part to the rapid rate of technological innovation. Mokyr notes that "new tools have led to economic breakthroughs," and that since the field of technology is vast and unremitting, we're hardly in danger of economic collapse.
"The divergent views are more than academic. For many Americans, the recession left behind the scars of lost jobs, lower wages and depressed home prices. The question is whether tough times are here for good. The answer depends on who you ask."
But Professor Gordon, a macroeconomist and author of the forthcoming book Beyond the Rainbow: The American Standard of Living Since the Civil War (Princeton), and of the best-selling textbook, Macroeconomics, is hugely skeptical of such theories. He asks us to compare useful and revolutionary objects, like the flushing toilet, to the newest iPad; the former, already invented, is indispensable. Everything created thereafter is simply excess – the cherry on top, if you will. And, as new developments become only incrementally more advanced than their predecessors, technological progress will slowly grind to an anticlimactic halt.
The op-ed also gives some interesting background on both Gordon and Mokyr and tries to posit the origins of their respective beliefs, whether positive or negative. Despite their conflicts, the two can concede to one point: that the twenty-first century is unarguably the best time to be born, and the revelation is certainly an encouraging one.
Place Your Bets: Tim Chartier Develops FIFA Foe Fun to Predict World Cup Outcomes
Tim Chartier, author of Math Bytes: Google Bombs, Chocolate-Covered Pi, and Other Cool Bits in Computing has turned some mathematical tricks to help better predict the outcome of this year's World Cup in Brazil.
Along with the help of fellow Davidson professor Michael Mossinghoff and Whittier professor Mark Kozek, Chartier developed FIFA Foe Fun, a program that enables us ordinary, algorithmically untalented folk to generate a slew of possible match outcomes. The tool weighs factors like penalty shoot-outs and the number of years of matches considered, all with the click of a couple buttons. Chartier used a similar strategy in his March Mathness project, which allowed students and basketball fans alike to create mathematically-produced brackets – many of which were overwhelmingly successful in their predictions.
Although the system usually places the most highly considered teams, like Brazil, Germany, and Argentina at the top, the gadget is still worth a look. Tinker around a bit, and let us know in the comments section how your results pan out over the course of the competition.
In the meantime, check out the video below to hear Chartier briefly spell out the logic of the formula.
Happy calculating!
Could India save Twitter? Misiek Piskorski discusses the future of social media with Yahoo! Finance
Harvard Business professor Misiek Piskorski is making the media rounds in New York to promote the publication of A Social Strategy: How We Profit from Social Media. Here, with Yahoo! Finance, he discusses why Twitter needs to make a big play in India if it wants to stay relevant and competitive with other social media platforms like Facebook and Alibaba.
And here he discusses social media and the growth of Uber on Bloomberg TV:

Untranslatable Tuesdays – Media
To mark the publication of Dictionary of Untranslatables: A Philosophical Lexicon, we are delighted to share a series of playful graphics by our design team which illustrate some of the most interesting terms from the Dictionary. For week six in the "Untranslatable Tuesdays" series we present Media/Medium (of communication):
By the beginning of the twentieth century, the recognition of a family resemblance between the various "implements of intercommunication" meant that they could be compared and contrasted in profitable new ways. . . . The term "mass media" found its niche in scholarly articles by such influential American midcentury thinkers as Hadley Cantril, Harold Lasswell, and Paul Lazarsfeld. But European philosophers resisted this tendency. . . . For Sartre, Adorno, and their contemporaries, "mass media" was less an untranslatable than an untouchable sullied by intellectual and institutional associations with American cultural imperialism. . . . This resistance was soon exhausted. . . . Cognates like "multimedia," "remediation," and "mediality" proliferate globally. This reflects less the dominance of English than the collective urgency of an intellectual project. (Ben Kafka)
Celebrating the genius of Alan Turing
Considered by many to be the father of computer science, Alan Turing is remembered today for his many contributions to the study of computers, artificial intelligence, and code breaking. On December 24, Queen Elizabeth II officially pardoned the late British mathematician and the action recalled attention to his groundbreaking work as well as his personal life. In 1952, Turing was charged with homosexuality, which was considered a criminal act in England at the time. Two years later, he took his own life. Today, mathematicians and computer scientists celebrate Turing's broad contributions to his field.
For more on the life and work of Turing, check out these resources:
Princeton University Press recently re-released Andrew Hodges's biography of Alan Turing: Alan Turing: The Enigma — The Centenary Edition.
It is only a slight exaggeration to say that the British mathematician Alan Turing (1912-1954) saved the Allies from the Nazis, invented the computer and artificial intelligence, and anticipated gay liberation by decades–all before his suicide at age forty-one. This classic biography of the founder of computer science, reissued on the centenary of his birth with a substantial new preface by the author, is the definitive account of an extraordinary mind and life. A gripping story of mathematics, computers, cryptography, and homosexual persecution, Andrew Hodges's acclaimed book captures both the inner and outer drama of Turing's life.
Read Chapter One of the book here.
Turing earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton in 1938. Watch the video below to hear Andrew Appel (chair of the department of computer science at Princeton) discuss Turing's legacy.
Andrew Appel on Alan Turing's legacy
(Princeton School of Engineering and Applied Science)
Appel, a Princeton graduate, is the editor of another recent release by Princeton University Press, Alan Turing's Systems of Logic: The Princeton Thesis.
Though less well known than his other work, Turing's 1938 Princeton PhD thesis, "Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals," which includes his notion of an oracle machine, has had a lasting influence on computer science and mathematics. This book presents a facsimile of the original typescript of the thesis along with essays by Andrew Appel and Solomon Feferman that explain its still-unfolding significance.

The Phyllis River was a stream of the Thynian peninsular which lay on the Black Sea coast half way between the Bosporos Straits and Sangarios River. The most important adjacent rivers were the Askanios to the south, and Saggarios in the east.
Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 2. 653 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :
"Dipaskos was the son of a Nymphe Leimonias (meadow-nymph) and the River Phyllis [of Bithynia]. He was an unassuming person who was quite content to live with his mother by his father's stream and graze his flocks by the sea."

St. Paul police have released the names of a couple and the wife's brother found dead in an apartment.
Investigators on Monday identified the victims as 31-year-old Chue Lor, his 27-year-old wife, Pahnia Yang, and Yang's brother, 18-year-old Kong Meng Lee.
Authorities say they are not looking for a suspect, but did not immediately classify the case as a double murder-suicide. Authorities have not ruled on how the victims died.
Authorities say four children, under the age of 10, were in the apartment at the time of the slayings Sunday afternoon. Hmong interpreters were called in to help interview the children and others at the scene.
Neighbor Laurel Hilden tells the Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/10ckyUi ) the children belong to the apartment building's caretaker.

I have used this plugin for a while now with no problems. However i think my new premium theme is interfering with the plugin. When i try to use publish to my Timeline with OpenGraph (which I've been doing for months no problem) or use the Facebook Debugger for my site i get the following error:
Object at URL 'http://distant-horizons.net/portfolio/' of type 'website' is invalid because it specifies multiple 'og:url' values: http://distant-horizons.net/portfolio/, http://distant-horizons.net/portfolio.
I have viewed the source code for my site and have identified two OG Meta tag groups, one starting line 7 and one starting line 133. The only plugin i have active is Facebook and when i remove the plugin the two groups of meta tags are still there but i don't get any errors on the debugger... which is confusing me. Any ideas on how to solve this?
I've tried removing the first group from the PHP file only to get more errors, and the second group i cannot find. I have also tried getting support from the theme creator but their support is quite bad.
Hope someone can help! and thanks for your time.

I have two computers: a desktop (Windows 7 Professional) with an ethernet jack in the motherboard and room for another (PCI or USB) and a laptop (Win7 Home Premium) with an ethernet jack. Internet connectivity is available through an ethernet wall jack (no access to switch/router). If I were to purchase a second NIC for the desktop (and have ample ethernet cables), would a setup meeting the following criteria be possible? If so, how?
- Desktop has connection to internet through wall
- File sharing is possible (both ways) between the two computers (default Windows network sharing and drive mapping)
- The laptop is not connected to the LAN coming from the wall (from the network administrator's POV - only one of the two devices can be connected at any time)
- Not necessary, but nice: a way to choose which folders are shared to which network. On the desktop, which would be connected to both the internet/building LAN and the laptop, there are some folders which I would rather only be available to the laptop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty spurs, just a little lighter weight than I expected. Color is also more of a dark rust/red color rather than a true black. My daughter should really like these spurs, bought as Christmas gift for her.
07/27/2012By Courtney
Ive had these spurs since May of 2010. I used them in the summer to show and around the barn to ride. They rusted within a couple weeks. It isnt horrible but you can tell they are rusted when you hold them. They rusted aroound the spur clip the most and on the black sections where the silver meets. They ride just fine and are good at a low price.

Electronic commerce lets people purchase goods and exchange information on business transactions online. Although the Internet's role as a business channel is a fairly recent phenomenon, its impact, financial and otherwise, has been substantially greater than that of other business channels which have been in existence for several decades. The authors believe that e-commerce gives companies improved efficiency and reliability of business processes through transaction automation. There are two major types of e-commerce: business to consumer (B2C), in which consumers purchase products and services from businesses, and business to business (B2B), in which businesses buy and sell among themselves. B2B transactions are a growing segment of the e-commerce market. This article analyzes and compares popular B2B frameworks that attempt to address such issues as interoperability and security between enterprises transacting business over the Internet

Honoring the Memory of Ludlow: 100 Years Later
On April 20, 1914, at Ludlow, Colorado, members of the Colorado National Guard and representatives of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company opened machine gun fire on a camp of 1,200 striking coal miners and their families. Between 19 and 25 people died in the fighting. The Ludlow Massacre remains one of the most significant events in US Labor History.

Time Varying Behavior of the Loudspeaker Suspension: Displacement Level Dependency
The compliance of the loudspeaker suspension is known to depend on the recent excitation level history. Previous investigations have shown that the electrical power as well as displacement and velocity plays a role. In this paper the hypothesis that the changes in compliance are caused mainly by how much the suspension has been stretched, i.e. the maximum displacement, is investigated. For this purpose the changes in compliance are measured when exposing the speaker to different levels and types of electrical excitation signals, as well as mechanical excitation only. For sinusoidal excitation the change in compliance is shown to depend primarily on maximum displacement, but for square pulse excitation the duration of the excitation also plays an important role.

I'm trying to debug a fairly complex stored procedure that joins across many tabls (10-11). I'm seeing that for a part of the tree the estimated number of rows drasticly differs from the actual number of rows - at its worst SQL server estimates that 1 row will be returned, when in actuality 55,000 rows are returned!
I'm trying to work out why this is - all of my statistics are up-to-date, and I've updated statistics with a FULLSCAN on several tables. I'm not using any user defined functions or table variables. As far as I can see SQL server should be able to exactly estimate how many rows are going to be returned, but it continues to choose a plan which cases it to perform tens of thousands of RDI lookups (when it is expecting to only perform 1 or 2).
What can I do to try and understand why the estimated number of rows is out by so much?
UPDATE: So looking at the plan I've found one node in particular which seems suspicous - its a table scan on a table using the following predecate:
status <> 5
AND [type] = 1
OR [type] = 2
This predicate returns the entire table (630 rows - the table scan itself it NOT the source of the poor performance) however SQL server has the estimated number of rows at just 37. SQL server then goes on to do several nested loops with this onto RDI lookups, index scans and index seeks. Could this be the source of my massive miscalculation? How do I get it to estimate a more sensible number of rows?
