Summary View help for Summary
The Athletic Involvement Study interviewed 795 students in a large public university in the Northeastern United States to explore how or if participation in sports affects people's health-risk behavior. About a quarter of the sample did not report any participation in a sport during high school or college and no primary sport designation. For those who did identify with a sport there were five predictor areas of interest: (1) scales measuring strength of jock identity; (2) strength of athlete identity; (3) goal orientation in sport; (4) primary sport ratings; and (5) conformity to masculine norms.

Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
The two major purposes of this study were to:
- Develop comprehensive measures of athletic involvement.
- Examine links among athletic involvement, gender norms, health risks, substance use, and sexual activity.
Study Design View help for Study Design
Undergraduates enrolled in seven large-section, lower-level Sociology, Communications, and Economics courses at a large university in the northeastern United States were invited to complete a 45-minute anonymous questionnaire. Each participant received $10.00 compensation. In the case of the Communications students, the study also counted for research credit that could be applied toward fulfillment of a course requirement.
Two mechanisms were employed for distribution and collection of questionnaires. Approximately half were administered in a classroom setting, with enrolled students informed in advance that they had the option of skipping the class if they chose not to take part in the study. The remaining participants were recruited with brief in-class announcements inviting them to e-mail the research team to indicate their interest, whereupon they were sent a copy of the questionnaire form via e-mail. Participants then completed the questionnaire independently and returned it to the research team as directed.
Informed consent was secured from all participants and the study protocol was approved by the university's Social and Behavioral Sciences Institutional Review Board.

the worst tires ever. The set of 4 bought 2 years ago. One of them exploded after my first longer trip (after 800 km), have to buy the fifth one because they said it was not tire fault. Now after two years and less then 40,000 km they are totally worn and flat, so I have to buy new set. I complained to Michelin, but of course all is lost in cyber world and hundred of documents you have to have in order to be partially reimbursed and only if you go again with Michelin.

China took another step toward liberalizing its financial regulations last fall by establishing the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, which now serves as a laboratory for trying out new rules and regulations for doing business in China.
Chinese regulators have proposed regulatory changes within the zone affecting everything from the interest rate paid on deposits to customs processes and cross-border pooling.
The free trade zone in Shanghai "will be a testing ground for all future reform in China," said Debra Lodge, a managing director and head of renminbi (RMB) business development for HSBC North America. "In 2014, we are expecting a lot of change, additional new pilots and just easier processes for multinationals to do business."
While rules for companies operating within the zone require further clarification from Chinese regulators, Lodge said that she expects to see "a much more open investment environment."
She cited, for example, the fact that within the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, there is no longer a cap on the interest rates paid on foreign-currency deposits of less than $3 million. "The market was hoping for the same on RMB deposits, but that has not happened yet," she said.
In another development, companies doing business within the free trade zone no longer have to get approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange to convert U.S. dollars into RMB in order, say, to build a factory. "Your capital account in U.S. dollars has been freed up, and you can convert that to RMB at will for appropriate transactions," Lodge said.
The ceiling on the total capital that one business unit can loan to another unit of their company located outside of China was boosted to 50% for those operating in the free trade zone, from the 30% ceiling imposed on companies in the rest of China.
And in a development of particular interest to corporate treasuries, China has made cash pooling easier. Companies can use an RMB-denominated intragroup cross-border sweep to connect funds held within China, but outside of the free trade zone, with a global cash pool that their company operates outside of China via a designated account within the zone.
"This is going to give multinationals with a lot of currency movement and an existing cash pool the ability to incorporate their Chinese entities into the global cash pool," said Lodge, pictured at left.
The changes being piloted in the free trade zone touch on many aspects of doing business in China. For example, customs processes are being streamlined and electronic filing introduced. Employees of companies operating in the free trade zone may remit their entire salary outside of China, while workers in the rest of China are limited to sending a maximum of $50,000 a year out of the country.
And Lodge said the March announcement by China's central bank, the People's Bank of China (PBOC), that the nation is launching a deposit insurance program to be introduced first in the free trade zone is a huge step toward the liberalization of the currency. Currently China has no insurance plan for funds held in banks.
A Physical Presence in the Zone
To take advantage of the pilot programs offered within the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, companies must have a physical presence in the zone and have an account with a designated bank, Lodge said. HSBC opened a branch in the zone in January, "specifically for Shanghai Free Trade Zone business," she said.
At this point, the free trade zone is advantageous for the biggest players, Lodge said. "If you are a multinational and you have a lot of transactions going through your accounts daily, then you should consider having a presence in the zone," she said. "But realistically, right now there are few companies at that level."
She predicted, though, that in six months' time, regulations could evolve to the point where having a presence within the zone could be worthwhile for companies doing fewer transactions.
"China has increasingly liberalized regulations with the aim of creating a much more competitive financial and cross-border environment," Kris Drake, head of corporate sales for China in Bank at America Merrill Lynch, wrote in an email. "The Free Trade Zone itself has been a source for many of the financial liberalization moves that have occurred over the last few months.
"For multinationals with complex businesses in China, the result is to allow more centralization of their financial activities, which better satisfies their desire for rationalization of accounts, efficiency, automation, visibility, and control," Drake added. "We certainly find that our clients who operate shared service centers are able to bring more activity within scope, regardless of whether these are operated within China or outside."
The establishment of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone last September followed changes that the PBOC announced last summer, including the RMB cross-border loan, a new structure that makes it easier for companies to make use of excess cash they have accumulated in China.
The RMB cross-border loan structure has been "very popular with corporates that are established in China and have been building up profits, and historically could not reallocate to other parts of their organization," Lodge said. She noted that previously, the only way to repatriate cash held in China was to declare a dividend, which is subject to taxation in both China and the U.S.
FX Volatility
Amid the regulatory changes, the Chinese renminbi—which had gained steadily against the U.S. dollar in recent years—weakened dramatically earlier this year. And in March, the PBOC widened the band in which the RMB trades against the dollar from 1% to 2%.
Alfonso Esparza, senior currency analyst at Oanda, argued that the RMB's retreat reflected both the financial liberalization that is taking place and concerns about the state of China's economy.
The wider trading band gave FX market participants more room to maneuver, he said. Use of the Chinese currency has grown to the point where it's now a top-10 currency, Esparza noted. Given the growing amount of business being done in RMB and the greater convertibility of the currency, the increased volatility makes sense, he said.
Meanwhile, the Chinese manufacturing sector has seen its growth slow. Esparza said part of the RMB's weakness reflects the PBOC's effort to give exporters a break and try to bolster the economy.
HSBC views the January and February volatility as a PBOC test of the consequences of the widening it announced in March. "If we want additional FX liberalization, we have to accept the two-way volatility, and that's exactly what we're seeing now and will see going forward," Lodge said.
Given the recent depreciation, she is seeing more queries about hedging programs. "A lot of people were previously not considering this," Lodge said. "However, the volatility we are now experiencing is causing treasurers and CFOs to reconsider."

Stanczyk has finished his preparations for the 1940 US Census (sans index). After the index is finally transcribed, I will query widely for years. But for 2012, I needed to be able to search via the Enumeration District.
As I said before, I made extensive use of Drs: Steve Morse & Joel Weintraub 1940 Census Tool .
I created a spreadsheet. I listed the most important people I wanted to find in 1940. I used the 1930 US Census and recorded their Enumerated District (ED). This is a necessary precursor to looking up the ED's for 1940. The only other way is to start from a street address. Now use the link to the 1940 Census Tool [see above] to convert your 1930 EDs to 1940 EDs (or your last known address to 1940 EDs). I made sure that when I got a long list of possible 1940 EDs that I used their ED descriptions and the Google Map to highlight the most likely ED (or EDs) to start with.
I also used the Ancestry.com City Directories (Beta) to finalize my analysis. While doing that I got the idea to pose and hopefully to answer with the 1940 Census some questions. I noticed in a 1941 City Directory that one of my Gawlik/Gawlikowski families started using, Gawlick . In fact due to emails with another genealogist I was prepared to accept Gawlick for this family already.
Well there they were using Gawlick for their family name. There was also another detail in the city directory. It showed that Kath (the wife) was a widow (of Anthony) in 1941. OK, so now I had a boundary for the last possible year for Anthony Gawlick (aka Gawlik) as 1941. I tried to use Ancestry.com's older city directories and I noticed that they were sparse (not all years) and also when they had a year, it was not always a complete scan of that city directory so my use of Historical City directories was hit or miss for some families and/or streets. But none the less, I was able to find Anthony alive in the 1939 city directory! Ok So now I had a short range: alive in 1939 … to dead in 1941. So maybe the 1940 will tell me is, "Anthony alive or dead in 1940"? I added that question to my list of questions.
Will I find Rose Wlecial Gawlik's brothers living with her? Why have I had such a hard time locating her borthers (Boleslaw & Leon) in city directories? Is Anthony Gawlick alive or dead? Is my grandmother's older half-brother Frank Leszczynski still alive in 1940 (he declared his intent to be a US Citizen in 1931)? He'd be about 75 years old in 1940. I wonder what age he use (70 or 75) since I have multiple birth years for him? Also, I learned in my preparations that he used a younger half-brother's address in 1931. So I wonder is Frank Leszczynski living with Michael Leszczynski in Buffalo/Depew at 257 Broadway in the 1940 Census? Until I had access to historical city directories, I had never realized that Michael and Frank had both lived at the same address — nobody ever mentioned that in any interview or email.
So beyond the facts that the US Census will provide about who is where and how old they are and whether they are US citizens or not, I am hoping to see what the older men were veterans of which US conflicts. The questions related to the Great Depression will also be interesting for all and will certainly be relevant to the political discourse of today — particularly as we march onward to the November elections.
Most of my immigrant Eliasz (aka Elijasz) forebears are deceased before 1940. My grandfather (Joseph) died in 1930 and my grand-uncle (John) died in 1936. So only Mary Eliasz Gronek can be found. Will I get any clues about Detroit Stanley Elyasz (a 1st cousin of my grandfather) and how about Buffalo Stanley Eliasz (is he a cousin or a sibling of my grandfather)?
The suspense and the anticipation is growing. Good thing we had WDYTYA last night and tomorrow night we will get the first episode of Henry Louis Gate's genealogy show on PBS. Those can help ease the suspense for now until a week from Monday.
How are you preparing? Are you done yet? Are you doing something similar to what I am doing? This is what I am using (email me please) …

The idea that pension plan asset allocation should be tied to funded status is surprisingly young. It was not common practice before 2008. In April 2009, when we wrote a paper called "Liability-Responsive Asset Allocation," it was (as far as we are aware) the first time that this approach was formally described in any detail. Just five years later, it's taken as a given. Nobody is surprised when the financial statements of major corporations talk of "a broad global pension de-risking strategy" or note that a pension plan's "interest rate hedge is dynamically increased as funded status improves."1
Two developments together acted as the catalyst for this change in the industry. The first was that more and more pension plans began freezing new benefit accruals. For a frozen plan, investment returns become less important once full funding is achieved. If there's already enough money in the plan and no new benefits are being accrued, then there's not much to be done with any additional returns that might be earned. The obvious route of turning them over to the plan sponsor comes with a hefty tax bill attached.
The second development—less obvious, but equally important—has been the emergence of technology that makes it possible to monitor a plan's funded status between the regular actuarial valuations. Even five years ago, estimating funded status on a daily basis seemed futuristic. Early versions of liability-responsive asset allocation (LRAA) tended to be based on monthly estimates. But today daily updates of funded status are standard practice.
There are some variations in how the industry applies the idea. Our hope that "LRAA" would become the standard terminology has not been realized; about a half-dozen different expressions are commonly used. But the basic idea of connecting asset allocation to funded status took hold quickly. In an industry that has traditionally been slow to adopt new ideas, this one found ready acceptance almost as soon as it was launched.
Why Companies Choose to Glide
Today many pension plans—especially frozen plans—use glide paths to define how their asset allocation should change as their funded status moves over time. If a plan sponsor maintained a static asset allocation, that decision would suggest that its goals for the plan's assets will stay the same regardless of the plan's funding position. But a plan sponsor's goals are likely to change as the environment changes. The sponsor of a poorly funded plan may think of their goals in terms of the return needed to get to full funding, while the sponsor of a well-funded plan may think in terms of maintaining a steady funded status. This shift in focus does not happen at a single point in time, but rather happens gradually if funded status improves. That's why organizations are adopting glide paths.
This is illustrated in Figure 1. For a plan in a strong funding position, there's not enough potential benefit to justify taking the risk inherent in a return-oriented investment strategy. So there's no reason to choose the upper right quadrant in our diagram. The bottom left, meanwhile, represents an underfunded position with a cautious investment strategy. The question a plan sponsor in that situation must ask is: How will the shortfall be made up? Pension plans have only two ways of raising money: contributions from the plan sponsor and returns earned on the existing assets. If the money is coming from plan sponsor contributions, it's generally better to make those contributions sooner rather than later, as Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC) variable-rate premiums continue to rise. In fact, those premiums are quickly reaching a level where a plan sponsor would need to have an extraordinarily high cost of capital in order for delaying contributions to make sense2. So the bottom left quadrant of Figure 1 isn't an attractive choice either.
Now that we've ruled out two of the quadrants in Figure 1, two choices remain. One is the top left quadrant, in which a plan faces a funding shortfall and so adopts a return-oriented strategy; this is where many plans are today. But where they want to be, and where they are headed, is the bottom right quadrant, with strong funding and low risk. That's the targeted end game. Carefully crafted glide paths can set pension plans on the path to reach that goal.
1. These statements are taken from the most recent 10-Ks of Ford and United Technologies, respectively.
2. "Do PBGC premiums incent plan sponsors to borrow to fund their pension plans?" (Gannon, 2013, Russell Investments Practice Note).
LRAA Best Practices
When a pension plan's funded status changes, the glide path can either lead to automatic action, or it can merely trigger a review of the plan's asset allocation. The latter option has two drawbacks. First, it can lead to delays, leaving a plan with an inappropriate allocation for weeks or even months while the pension committee considers the authorization of action. Second, it leaves the door open to behavioral biases such as the chasing of returns. For example, an LRAA schedule may specify a change in asset allocation following either a run-up in the value of the stock market or an increase in interest rates. But the tendency of many committees in the face of such events is to want to let them run—why pull out of a strategy that is winning? Such a discussion confuses strategic with tactical considerations, as well as proving in many cases to be mistaken even from the tactical perspective.
For that reason, we regard it as a best practice to make the glide path the policy, rather than a guideline. Bear in mind that one of the reasons the LRAA approach has found such wide acceptance is that it meets, head-on, the common view that 2007 was a missed opportunity for many pension plans. Some plan sponsors feel that if they find themselves in as good a position again, they want to lock it in. The temptation to let the good times run left many plans with what turned out—in hindsight—to be too much risk.
Once a plan sponsor decides to adopt a glide path, an endpoint must be defined, establishing the funded status at which the glide path will stop and what the asset allocation should look like at that time. Figure 2, below, shows a sample de-risking glide path in which the plan reaches its lowest-risk allocation at a funded status of 110 percent with 20 percent of assets in return-seeking investments. These numbers may vary based on the specific circumstances of the pension plan and the corporation, but they should be decided in advance (albeit subject to periodic review).
Another basic decision in glide path design lies in the question of whether asset allocation shifts are a one-way street. All LRAA schedules involve de-risking when the plan's funded status improves, but plan sponsors must decide whether their policy should also require increasing investment risk when funded status declines. In theory, a case can be made for either approach. In practice, the one-way street is most popular. That's largely because a one-way street avoids moving away from the desired end goal; many plan sponsors find it acceptable to continue to take a risk that is already in place but would be less comfortable with adding that same risk back in once it has been removed.
Glide paths also vary in their complexity. The most common approach is to base allocation on funded status alone, but glide paths can incorporate other variables as well. Some have trigger points based on interest rates, in addition to funded status. Others have a calendar component. The motivations for such variations might be tactical (as in the case of interest rates) or strategic (as in the case of calendars). In either case, the plan sponsor ought to clearly articulate the rationale for the approach.
An LRAA policy should specify with more granularity the breakdown of assets within the categories "return-seeking" and "liability-hedging." All glide paths specify the balance between return-seeking assets, such as equities, and liability-driven investing (LDI)/hedging assets, such as long-duration corporate bonds, depending on the plan's funded status level. But planning needs to go further.
As a plan moves down its glide path and the size of the return-seeking portfolio shrinks, diversification of these assets may become harder to achieve, so the make-up of the portfolio may need to vary. Asset illiquidity may become more of an issue over time. Similarly, within the LDI portfolio, there may be little value in fine-tuning the hedge to the liabilities when the plan is at the return-seeking end of the glide path and allocation to LDI is a small portion of the total portfolio. At this early stage, the most important goal of the LDI investments is to respond to interest rate changes—i.e., to increase the duration of the portfolio as interest rates rise. But when the hedging portfolio accounts for a larger proportion of the plan's total assets, the plan sponsor should consider more closely tying the hedge to the liabilities, focusing on credit spreads and key rate durations (KRDs), for example.
This evolution of the return-seeking and LDI/hedging portfolios may be formally built into the LRAA schedule (easing future implementation) or may be left implicit, as decisions for the plan sponsor to take on when the change to the overall balance of assets occurs (allowing fine-tuning of the strategy). Whatever approach an organization takes to tackling these second-order decisions, they should not hold up the adoption of a glide path strategy.
There are many other ways in which de-risking practices vary, from the use of tactical rebalancing ranges to the use of different measures of funded status, such as the present value of future benefits (PVFB) rather than projected benefit obligation (PBO) for a plan that is closed but not frozen. Clear best practices have emerged in certain areas, while other areas continue to evolve.
However, what is clear across the board is that more and more defined benefit pension plans are adopting the de-risking model. The overall exposure of this investor group is on a path—formally documented in their investment policies—that will see them move out of riskier assets such as equities and into assets that match their liabilities, such as long duration bonds. The exact timing of the move will depend on both interest rates and the stock market, but the direction has been set.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Sure enough, putting was all the rage Thursday in the World Challenge.
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. — Sure enough, putting was all the rage Thursday in the World Challenge.
One day after golf's governing bodies proposed a new rule that will ban the anchored stroke used for long putters, Keegan Bradley talked about someone on Twitter telling the PGA champion to send in his resum� to Burger King in 2016, when the rule goes into effect. Bradley got so fed up with the teasing over his belly putter this week that he grabbed Tiger Woods' putter and made three out of four from 10 feet.
The rule doesn't affect Nick Watney, though he couldn't say enough about his putting.
He made five birdies on his last 10 holes — including his first birdie ever on the 14th hole at Sherwood — for a 5-under 67 that gave him a two-shot lead.
Woods' putting saved his round, even though most of them were for par. That included a 12-foot putt on the 15th and an 8-footer to avoid bogey on the par-5 16th. It added up to a 70, which left him very much in the hunt at an 18-man event where he is more than just a tournament host. Without a title sponsor, Woods is underwriting most of the cost.
And yes, even Steve Stricker made news Thursday with his putter. He tried a new one.
"Mid-life crisis," he said.
The World Challenge is not a hit-and-giggle at the end of the year, even with a short field, no cut and lots of holiday cash for all involved. The field is stronger than ever, with 13 players from the Ryder Cup, and it showed in the scores. On a cool, overcast day in the Conejo Valley, only eight shots separated the top (Watney) from Brandt Snedeker, bringing up the rear with a 75.
Snedeker drilled a fairway metal into 8 feet and made eagle on the 11th hole, only for his round to fall apart. He hit two provisional tee shots on the par-3 12th, didn't have to use them but still made bogey, and then he snap-hooked his next tee shot and made double bogey.
Bradley and a pair of past champions at this tournament — Jim Furyk and Graeme McDowell — were two shots out of the lead at 69. Woods was in the group at 70 that included Bo Van Pelt, whom Woods beat this year at Congressional, and U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson.
But the buzz remained over the belly.
Bradley was the first player to win a major using the belly putter at the 2011 PGA Championship, and then Simpson and Ernie Els followed this year. Bradley is not happy about the rule, though he has been respectful toward the U.S. Golf Association and Royal & Ancient in their right to set the rules.
But this is a guy who plays with a chip on his shoulder, and this chip could be a big one.
He described his round as awesome, aside from a bad break on the 18th that led to bogey, the only green he missed all day.
"If I could have made a few more putts, I probably could have been a lot lower," he said, pausing before he added, "I know people probably don't want to hear that."
He then revealed how much abuse he was taking on Twitter, though he knows better not to take seriously a comment from people he either doesn't know or who don't use their real names in social media. That would include one tweet telling him to send in an application to Burger King for 2016.
"I've been doing a better job lately of not reading them, but I'm going to make a switch when I feel it's best for me," Bradley said. "And whether that's tomorrow or in three years, we'll see."
The switch earlier this week to Woods' putter was only temporary, and it was a joke.
"I give him grief every day," Woods said.
Too bad Bradley didn't make Woods try a few putts with the belly.
"You don't want to see Tiger with that putter," Bradley said. 'If it was up to me, I'd film him and send that to Mike Davis. I think he would take the ban off."
Bradley did a little more experimenting after his round Thursday. He gripped his putter a little lower so that the end wasn't anchored to his belly. He ran the putter up his left arm for a few putts, the style used by Matt Kuchar that would remain legal. But as he tinkered around, he noticed a TV camera filming him and stopped.
It's still a sensitive subject for Bradley, and he wants everyone to know he's a pretty good golfer with any putter in his bag.
"I feel like the USGA has really put an 'X' on our back and really shined a light on us, and I don't know if that's exactly fair," Bradley said. "I just hope that people look at us for the type of players that we are and the accomplishments that we've had, and not because we use a belly putter, and now the USGA says it's going to be illegal. When we started putting with it, they were legal. And they still are.
"It's a sticky situation, and I hope they can see through that."
As for Stricker?
He says he got his new putter at a golf store in Madison, Wis., which begged another question: What was he doing in a golf store?
"Looking for a putter," he said.
Stricker figured it was time to mix things up, so during his long break from golf, he went looking for a putter similar to what Luke Donald and Ian Poulter use. He bought a Sabertooth made by Odyssey, the same company that made the putter he has used so long even the metal tape on the bottom looks old.
"I like the way it feels, and I putted good today, especially on the short ones," Stricker said.
Not to worry. He brought his old putter with him to Sherwood. "Just in case," he said with a smile.

I think red was in the air when our monthly baking group, now officially named the Daring Bakers, voted to make to red velvet cake for our March recipe. As a departure from our usual modus operandi of everyone using the exact same recipe, we decided to use a recipe of our choice. The New York Times printed a recipe recently and our very own Peabody shared a traditional recipe from Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House in Savannah, Georgia. But in the end, after browsing through a dozen recipes, I chose a cake recipe from the Martha Stewart website that was very similar to Peabody's recipe.
I've never made or tasted red velvet cake before. (But I do remember the groom's cake from the movie Steel Magnolias which was shaped like an armadillo and was blood red on the inside. I've been told that it was a red velvet cake.) Now, as far as I can tell from the recipe, red velvet cake is basically a yellow cake with a bit of cocoa powder for flavor. And the red part comes mostly from adding food coloring. I say mostly because the chemical reaction between the cocoa powder, buttermilk and vinegar creates a slightly reddish cake.
I originally decided that I would skip the red food coloring because that just seemed too unnatural. I read that beet root juice could color the cake red but I was worried how it would affect the delicate flavor of the cake. So I made a "tester" cake without the coloring or beets just to see how red, or how un-red, it would be. The cake was reddish brown but it was definitely brown and nowhere near velvety. It was then that I decided a bit of food coloring was not a bad thing. After all, this cake is supposed to be red.
When the time came to make the real thing, I proceeded with the recipe and added the entire one ounce bottle (30ml) of red food coloring to batter. It was at that very moment that I felt I had a made a huge mistake. The batter was scary red! But after adding the flour and buttermilk to the mix, the batter became less red and I calmed down. Who knew adding food coloring to a cake could cause such an emotional response? After the cakes were baked, they were a nice mahogany color.
I wasn't sure what kind of frosting was traditionally used for red velvet cakes. There were boiled frostings, seven minute frostings, and cream cheese frostings. There were frostings with and without nuts, using pecans or walnuts. Egg white, milk, heavy cream, or butter based. After tasting my tester cake, I thought a straightforward cream cheese frosting without nuts would pair nicely with the fluffy cocoa cake.
My overall impression of my red velvet cake was mixed. Although the frosting was nice, I actually preferred the cake plain. I really liked the subtle cocoa taste that was not quite chocolate nor was it vanilla. The texture of the cake was similar to a chiffon cake but fluffier and less elastic. As far as aesthetics, the deep velvety mahogany cake layers and the creamy frosting resulted in a visually striking cake.

Red Velvet Cake
(from marthastewart.com)
(one 2 layer 9-inch round cake)
2 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups flavorless oil (I used grape seed oil)
2 large eggs
2 tbsp red food coloring (one 1-ounce bottle)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
2 tsp vinegar (white or apple cider)
Preheat oven to 350F.
Generously butter two 9-by-2-inch round cake pans. Sprinkle with flour, and tap out the excess. Set your pans aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together cake flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside your dry ingredients.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the sugar and oil on medium speed until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add food coloring and vanilla, and beat until well combined.
Add flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add vinegar to batter, and beat for 10 seconds.
Evenly divide the batter between your prepared pans. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from the pans, and return to the rack to cool completely.
Cream Cheese Frosting
(enough to fill and frost a 2 layer 9-inch round cake)
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened at room temp.
12 ounces (1.5 bars) cream cheese, softened at room temp.
1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes on medium speed. Add sugar and vanilla and beat until combined, about 2 minutes.
Note: One of my cake layers was more domed than the other. So I shaved off the dome to level my cake layer. Then I crumbled the shavings and lightly coated the sides of my frosted cake.

Pressure on Djokovic - Mauresmo
Amelie Mauresmo believes Andy Murray should be able to play freely against Novak Djokovic in their US Open quarter-final because the pressure is on the world number one's shoulders.
The long-time rivals headline the night session on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday in their first grand slam clash since last year's Wimbledon final.
It is also the first time Murray has faced one of his big-four rivals at a slam since hiring Mauresmo as his coach ahead of the grass-court season.
Amelie Mauresmo, pictured, says the pressure is on Novak Djokovic rather than Andy Murray for their US Open quarter-final
The Scot goes into the match having got one monkey off his back by beating Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the fourth round to take his first top-10 scalp in more than a year.
Mauresmo told Press Association Sport: "For me the most important thing is how he played. I think it's the best match I've seen him play since I came into the team.
"He should be satisfied about it. The level is going up towards the second week of the tournament. He definitely has to now look forward to the next one.
"I think he should really go out there and express fully what he's capable of doing. The pressure is probably a little bit more on Novak, which is normal, he won Wimbledon.
"Even if he didn't have a great summer, he showed from the beginning here that he's ready for these big ones. I think it's definitely one to embrace."
Murray did a good job of staying positive throughout the match against Tsonga, recovering quickly from lapses at the start of the second and third sets.
There was still plenty of shouting and swearing, some in the direction of Mauresmo and the rest of his team.
The former world number one was coy about whether she will try to curb Murray's on-court behaviour, as predecessor Ivan Lendl did to a certain extent, but revealed the two have discussed it.
"I think it's his way of dealing with things," she said. "He knows himself pretty well now and I think he knows how to handle himself on the court. We're talking about it sometimes but it's not a big deal."
Wednesday's match will be the earliest ever meeting at a grand slam between the pair, and Murray will draw on the memories of the two greatest days of his career.
Djokovic leads the overall head-to-head 12-8 and won their only previous match this season in Miami in straight sets.
But their last three clashes at slams all came in finals, and Murray won two of them - the five-set epic in New York in 2012 that finally broke his grand slam duck and then last summer's emotional Wimbledon victory.
"They obviously will help," said Murray. "I wouldn't say in terms of getting confidence, it's just having that experience of playing those matches.
"They were both very long, tough matches, as well. So I know that I can last those matches against him. But anything can happen in a couple of days. I'll just do everything properly and hope on Wednesday I play a good match."
Djokovic came into the tournament with doubts over his form but has looked the most impressive player so far and is yet to drop a set.
Although Murray has not reached a final in any tournament this season, Djokovic is expecting his old rival to bring his best form on Wednesday.
"We all know his quality," said the Wimbledon champion.
"He knows how to play on centre court at the US Open where he has played some great tennis and we've had some great matches. It's a very tough draw. I'm going to have to be playing my highest level in order to advance.
"I think he performs his best in the grand slams. He's been on and off this year but I think in the big matches, as the tournament progresses, he's still fit. He still plays very high-quality tennis. That's what I expect him to do."

Minnesota Central Corridor bridge retrofit wins engineering awardWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of Minnesota awarded the Metropolitan Council and AECOM Technology Corporation a 2013 Engineering Excellence Grand Award
for retrofitting the Washington Avenue Bridge for the Green Line (Central Corridor), which is 89 percent complete and scheduled to open in mid-2014.
The Metropolitan Council awarded AECOM the contract to retrofit the Washington Avenue Bridge over a 1,131-foot gorge above the Mississippi. The bridge, built in 1965, lacked redundancy to prevent collapse should a single structural member fail.
The bridge consisted of two independent structures for eastbound and westbound traffic. The rehabilitation included the design and construction of four new truss girders interlaced among the steel framing of the existing structure. Prior to construction, the bridge carried pedestrian traffic on the upper deck and four lanes of vehicular traffic on the lower deck. The retrofitted bridge has double tracks in the middle of the lower deck, with one lane each way for vehicular traffic. The upper deck retained pedestrian traffic.
"The AECOM design team, in collaboration with project partners and technical staff from the Metropolitan Council, Hennepin County and Minnesota Department of Transportation, established a retrofit and rehabilitation scheme that would preserve and strengthen the iconic structure," AECOM said.
The retrofit design included the installation of two new built-up trusses for each independent structure interlaced with the existing superstructure cross section and a new full-width composite deck. The trusses converted the existing girder system into a structurally redundant eight girder and truss composite superstructure. The retrofit also included the addition of infill columns at each pier to transfer the new truss girder loads to the bridge foundations. The entire retrofit was constructed while maintaining pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The result was the ability to preserve the existing bridge rather than replace the structure, resulting in cost savings to the project estimated at $80 million to $100 million and a minimum of two years in project schedule in comparison to a full-bridge replacement.
Ames-McCrossan Joint Venture, the construction contractor for the Minneapolis portion of the Green Line, retrofitted the bridge for an estimated $21 million, $2 million under budget and finished two months ahead of schedule in mid-June 2012.

Splunk's real-time operational intelligence platform is augmented by the release of version 6.1 of Hunk: Splunk Analytics for Hadoop and NoSQL Data Stores. Despite sporting one of the lengthier product names on the planet, Hunk 6.1 is nimble enough and is intended to turn raw, unstructured data in Hadoop and NoSQL data stores into what everyone these days likes to call "insight" data.
Accelerated reports in Hunk improve reporting times, while interactive dashboards deliver self-service analytics without fixed schemas or the need to move data. Hunk 6.1 extends the power of Hunk beyond Hadoop through streaming resource libraries for NoSQL and other data stores such as Apache Accumulo, Apache Cassandra, MongoDB, and Neo4j.
So What For Developers?
Splunk marketing VP Sanjay Mehta spoke to Dr. Dobb's Journal to say, "Streaming resource libraries enable developers to connect Hunk to NoSQL and other data stores, such as Apache Accumulo, Apache Cassandra, Couchbase, MongoDB, and Neo4j, for data exploration, analysis, and visualization in Hunk. All without fixed schemas or moving data to a separate in-memory store."
"These new features are on top of a platform that truly empowers developers, because they can integrate data and functionality from Hunk into enterprise big data applications using the Splunk web framework, documented REST API, Eclipse plug-in, and software development kits in a half-dozen top languages. Developing big data apps on Hadoop and NoSQL data stores is now as easy as building any modern web application by letting developers pick the programming tools they know and love," added Mehta.
Splunk says that Hunk is ideal for data shops working with huge amounts of historical data at rest. The firm asserts that alternate approaches require specialized skillsets, fixed schemas, complex programming, or moving the data — all of which add up to wasted time and lost opportunity.
"We are excited to see what NoSQL developers can do now that we have extended Hunk's capability from Hadoop to NoSQL data stores," said Mehta.
Hunk includes an environment for developers to build big data applications using the languages and frameworks they already use and are familiar with. Hunk includes a standards-based web framework, documented REST API, Eclipse plug-in, and software development kits for C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Ruby.

There are two ways you can take the news about Lancaster County's extremely low housing vacancy rate.
For one, the fact that 94.38 percent of all houses in Lancaster were occupied in 2011 — the second-highest in the nation, according to a recent analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data — might have you saying, "Wow, I want to live there. There must be a lot going on. I want to be a part of that."
That's a 5.62 percent vacancy rate. Not too shabby.
The top spot went to San Jose, Calif., at 4.32 percent.
You also might look at the data of 109 metropolitan areas and say, "I think I'll move to Cape Coral/Fort Myers, Fla., where the vacancy rate is almost 36 percent. At least I'll have my pick of properties."
That area of Florida had the highest vacancy rate in the nation.
In fact, if you're in search of a place to go where vacancy is more than 20 percent, Florida is your best bet.
Six of the eight metro areas with rates exceeding 20 percent were in the Sunshine State last year, according to the analysis, which looked at metros with more than 200,000 housing units.
Pennsylvania metro areas, in general, did pretty well in maintaining permanent occupants.
The Harrisburg-Carlisle area was 31st at 9.2 percent. The Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton region was 33rd at 9.22 percent.
