A couple weeks ago Mike Ference and I visited an advertising and PR agency in downtown Cleveland. The office is on the sixth floor, so, naturally, we'd take the elevator. We entered the Artcraft Building on Superior Ave., but instead of seeing the usual bank of elevators, we saw a single wooden and glass door with a button next to it.
I pushed the button, and within a few seconds, the elevator arrived. Much to my surprise, an operator was inside. I thought these were all long gone. An operator pulled a lever, which opened the doors. The operator also controlled which floor the elevator would go to.
The operator's name is John, and he said the building opened in 1919, so the elevators are 91 years old. I think John siad it was a shirt factory until the 1950s. It has since been converted to offices and studios. But the original elevators are still intact. (There's an identical elevator at another entrance to the building.)
John works the lever that opens and closes the door (it's purely mechanical). Second lever controls the elevator car, making it go up or down at John's command. Passengers simply tell John what floor they want to go to. When someone needs the elevator, they push a button next to the door. This rings a bell and illuminates a light corresponding to the floor the person is on. When John hears the bell, he looks to see what number light is lit, the takes the elevator to that floor. Once he arrives, he opens the door and greetspassengers.

Buy now and save! ONLY LEFT
I ordered three colour cartridges for my laser printer on a long weekend and then thought I had ordered one item wrong; so I sent a follow-up email and requested a change order and gave a different item number. On the next business day I got a very pleasant email back asking me if I was sure I wanted the new item number because it meant I would get two cartridges of the same colour. I was really impressed with the attention to detail of the person handling my order! She was very pleasant throughout the email exchange of sorting out what I needed and correcting the billing. I had chosen PC-Canada based on cost of the product and shipping price as I had never purchased from them before, but based on the service I received, I will definitely be returning. The service was spectacular compared to service I have received when I have ordered the same products elsewhere. Shipping speed was fast also also which I really appreciated. But most remarkably, they really pay attention to their customers' needs!!! Thanks PC-Canada!

BEIJING — China formally charged disgraced Communist Party regional kingpin Bo Xilai on Thursday with corruption, embezzlement and abuse of power, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported, with the long-awaited trial expected to get underway soon.
Bo's fall from grace has become one of the most embarrassing scandals to hit the Communist Party in decades, and new President Xi Jinping has been facing internal pressure to put the case behind him and address the economic and social challenges facing the party.
It had proved a tough challenge for the new Chinese president. Bo, who has not been seen in public since he was fired as party boss of the city of Chongqing in March 2012, had been reluctant to cooperate and had not accepted the charges against him, lawyers and journalists said. The party apparently considered a confrontational public trial too risky, and powerful factions within it had been uneasy about punishing Bo too severely.
Although trial outcomes in China are routinely determined in advance by the party, a damaging standoff had developed in Bo's case, according to party watchers. Finally, though, a deal appears to have been struck.
Xinhua said the charges of bribery, corruption and abuse of power were brought to court in the city of Jinan in China's eastern Shandong province, where the trial will take place.
Bo took advantage of his position as a civil servant to seek profits for others and accepted "an extremely large amount" of money and properties, the indictment paper said, according to Xinhua. He also embezzled a huge amount of public money, abused his power and seriously harmed the interests of the state and people, it said. Bo has been informed of his legal rights and interviewed by prosecutors, Xinhua reported.
Just two days earlier, party officials in Chongqing were told that Bo would be charged with receiving more than $3.25 million in bribes and embezzling $815,000, said lawyers and journalists who spoke to people present at the meeting.
Under Chinese legal procedures, indictment papers should be delivered to the defendant at least 10 days before a trial opens, said lawyer Li Xiaolin, who is close to Bo's family. Based on precedent, the trial could begin in the first half of August, he said.
This month, senior party officials had warned that disunity was "not in anyone's interest," said Zhang Lifan, a prominent historian. Shortly after, former president Jiang Zemin, who was seen as close to Bo, praised Xi's leadership during a rare public appearance. That suggested an agreement over Bo had been reached within the party, Zhang said.
Bo, who employed the rhetoric of conservative Communist revival but allowed private entrepreneurs free rein, was a rising star in regional Chinese politics who made no secret of his national ambitions. But he fell from grace last year after his police chief sought refuge at the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu and leveled several dramatic accusations against his former boss.
Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, was subsequently convicted of the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood and given a suspended death sentence. In September, Bo was expelled from the party and accused of abusing his office, accepting bribes, — directly, as well as through family members — having "improper relationships with a number of women" and playing a role in the murder plot.
The charges he now faces appear milder, involving a comparatively modest amount of money, experts said. "It seems they have reached a settlement for a jail term of around 17 or 18 years," said Willy Lam, a political expert at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Last month, former railways minister Liu Zhijun, who was below Bo in the Communist Party hierarchy, was convicted of taking bribes worth $10.5 million and given a suspended death sentence. But Lam said there was an unwritten rule within the party elite that Politburo members, such as Bo, would never be given a death sentence, even a suspended one. Bo, who has had some heart problems while in jail, would probably serve much of his sentence under house arrest, Lam said.
The Communist Party is keen to get the case out of the way before an important plenum meeting in the fall, at which Xi is expected to outline his plans to reform the country's economy and address a slowdown in growth. The court appearance has been billed as China's "trial of the century," but the party is likely to do everything in its power to ensure that it passes off uneventfully and that as little dirty linen is aired as possible.
"If this was to drag on any longer, it would damage Xi Jinping's image as someone who can unite different factions within the party and foster a facade of unity," Lam said. "He needs to show senior party leaders he can do it in a very orderly, prearranged fashion."
Liu Liu and Zhang Jie contributed to this report.

WWE Hell in a Cell 2010 Flashback: Randy Orton vs. Sheamus for the WWE Championship, and Kane vs. Undertaker for the World Hvt. Championship in HIAC matches, John Cena vs. Wade Barrett

Aired live on pay-per-view
Dallas, Tex. at American Airlines Arena
The show opened with a video package. The narrator spoke as if he was the Hell in a Cell structure... Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and Matt Striker introduced the show from ringside...
Powell's POV: I just posted the result of the six-man tag dark match on the main page. Big brother got the better of little brother.
1. Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz vs. John Morrison in a Triple Threat, submissions count anywhere match to retain the United States Championship in 13:35. The Miz entered last and was referred to as the Kenny Powers of WWE by one of the announcers. Nice. Thanks for the DVR reminder, guys.
Miz said he was the mentor of Bryan and Morrison. He stressed that he never tapped out. Morrison sold at ringside early, which gave Bryan and Miz some alone time. Bryan applied Cattle Mutilation at one point. Striker told the other announcers to "look it up."
At 7:00, all three men brawled in the crowd. Miz got the better of the situation by dropping Morrison on the guardrail, and then ramming Bryan through a guardrail of some type. They fought near the stage, where Miz tried to ram a crate into Morrison, but Morrison blocked it with his foot and then leapt over it and took a shot at Miz.
Miz came right back with with a Skull Crushing Finale on Morrison on the floor. Miz and Bryan fought on the stage. They both went for submissions and countered and hit a double clothesline. Morrison climbed the set. Cole said he looked like Spiderman. Morrison climbed onto a lighting right that was on top of fencing and dove onto both opponents on the stage.
Powell's POV: Cool spot, but it looked really choreographed with both guys essentially waiting to brace Morrison's fall.
At 12:40, Morrison applied a Texas Cloverleaf on Miz. Alex Riley ran out to break up the hold. Bryan ran Riley into a camera and apparently off the stage. Bryan applied the LeBell Lock at 13:25 on the stage. Miz tapped out moments later and the crowd popped. "Okay, I admit it, Daniel Bryan is for real," Cole said after the match. He later told the other announcers that he needed to go check on Miz...
Powell's POV: Strong opening match. Miz didn't waste much time before tapping, but he looked strong in defeat by dominating a good portion of the match. Morrison spent a lot of time selling, yet also had some key moments including the big dive off the set.
An ad aired for "Legendary"... Cole was still fretting over Miz's health as the announcers set up the Randy Orton vs. Sheamus video package, which was then shown...
Powell's POV: I was curious to see how they would handle the match order with two Hell in a Cell matches on the show. They had three last year and actually had the first HIAC match open the pay-per-view.
2. Randy Orton defeated Sheamus in a Hell in a Cell match to retain the WWE Championship in 22:50. Cole said this would be the twentieth Hell in a Cell match in history. The live crowd was hot for Orton's entrance and broke out an "RKO" chant after the in-ring introductions.
Sheamus and Orton fought on the ropes. Sheamus got the better of the exchange and rammed Orton into the cage. He took control of the match and removed a pad from the turnbuckle. He failed to slam Orton's head into the exposed turnbuckle, so it will probably come into play later.
Orton regained control. He looked up at the exposed turnbuckle from his knees and then moved aside when Sheamus charged at him. Sheamus hit the exposed turnbuckle, but it didn't play an important part in the match (yet). The announcers spent most of the match putting over Orton, but they did give Sheamus the edge in power.
The ring steps that came into play earlier in the match were brought inside the ring. Sheamus dropped Orton onto the steps at ringside earlier, and Orton sold a rib injury. However, Orton hit a snap slam onto the steps in the middle of the ring in a cool spot. He went back to selling the ribs a short time later.
Orton also sold a shoulder injury and the announcers pointed out his past problems. Sheamus set up Orton for an apparent Rock Bottom on the ring steps in the middle of the ring. However, he hit a backbreaker instead, so the ring steps never even came into play on that move.
Sheamus followed up with the Brough Kick for a quality near fall at 18:40. Sheamus went to ringside and pulled a chair out from underneath the ring. Sheamus slammed the chair over Orton's back a few times and got another near fall. Sheamus slammed the chair on the mat and went for a shot to the head, but Orton avoided it and hit the RKO.
Sheamus's momentum took him to ringside. Orton expressed frustration over not being able to pin Sheamus. Randy went to ringside and went for the punt kick. Sheamus avoided the kick and then followed up with a great Brough Kick at 20:00. Sheamus rolled Orton back inside the ring and went for a cover. Orton kicked out and the live crowd cheered as Sheamus threw a fit.
Sheamus stood up and played to the crowd and drew boos. He set up Orton for a move on the ring steps when Orton hit him withe RKO out of nowhere and scored the clean pin. Huge pop for the RKO and Orton going over.
Orton went to ringside and put the belt on backwards. He climbed to the top of the Hell in a Cell structure and played to the fans by raising the belt in the air. There was a great camera shot taken from within the ring that pointed up at Orton on top of the cage. Cole nearly ruined the moment by saying they should name the Hell in a Cell match after the Viper or something lame...
Powell's POV: A damn good match. Honestly, the Hell in a Cell structure didn't add much to it, though. Granted, the fact that they were enclosed was kind of cool, but the HIAC structure doesn't mean as much in the modern era because you don't expect blood or anyone to be thrown off the top of the structure. I just don't get as fired up about the match as I once did, but that doesn't change the fact that this was a strong title match with good intensity from bell to bell.
An ad aired for the Bragging Rights pay-per-view. They played up the Raw vs. Smackdown theme, and the Wade Barrett delivered the "Nexus or against us" line...
Backstage, Josh Matthews tried to interview the cast of NXT season three for God knows what reason. Fortunately, Nexus played the babyfaces by entering the picture and scaring them away. Wade Barrett said there was something in the air tonight. He promised that John Cena would be with them after tonight, and had Michael Tarver show the Nexus armband that they intend to present to Cena on Monday's Raw...
Alberto Del Rio made his standard entrance with the legendary R-Rod as his personal ring announcer. Del Rio came to the ring wearing street clothes and cut a mid-ring promo. He noted that this was his pay-per-view debut. Del Rio said he wants to make it special.
Del Rio posted a shot of the dog he had in the Rey Mysterio mask on the live edition of Smackdown. I would totally buy that mask for my dog. Del Rio said he's richer than Mark Cuban, better Nolan Ryan, and more handsome than Tony Romo. He said the crowd thinks they're better because they're Americans. He told the crowd he's better than they are.
Edge's entrance music interrupted Del Rio's promo. He said he wasn't there to defend Rey Mysterio, Texas, or Christian. He said he's there to fight against stupidity. He said Del Rio's dog mask was stupid. I strongly disagree, sir! Edge continued to rip Del Rio and then ripped off the R-Rod's sleeve.
Del Rio and Edge squared off, but they were interrupted by Jack Swagger's entrance music. Swagger took offense to Edge roughing up his mascot on the live Smackdown. "It wasn't even a real eagle, there was a human being inside," Swagger said in the line of the night.
Edge said he'd pay for the mascot's medical bills. He said he might as well do the same for Swagger and Del Rio. Edge attacked Swagger, but was quickly outnumbered by Swagger and Del Rio.
The anonymous general manager chime sounded. Michael Cole stood up and read the message on the "upgraded computer." Cole said Edge must apologize to the general manager on Raw tomorrow night, and must face Swagger tonight...
3. Edge defeated Jack Swagger in 11:30. Striker said Swagger was on the sideline calling plays during the Oklahoma vs. Texas game because he has that much clout. Nice. There wasn't much heat for the match. Swagger ended up bleeding from the mouth at one point, which is probably the most blood we'll see on the HIAC pay-per-view.
Swagger was sent to ringside. He reached and pulled out Edge by his ankle and attempted to apply the ankle lock at ringside, but Edge twisted out of it and flipped Swagger into the ring steps. Cool spot.
At 9:00, Edge went to the top rope, but Swagger ran up and caught him in Kurt Angle style and suplexed him. Another cool spot, but the live crowd died again shortly thereafter. Swagger went for the Swagger Bomb, but Edge stood up and caught him with a kick to the gut.
Edge followed up with a DDT. He did get the spear he went for at this point, but he connected with one a short time later and scored the clean pin. Nice pop for the finish. The announcers played up Edge being forced to apologize to the anonymous general manager on Raw...
Powell's POV: The live crowd just never got into that match with the exception of reacting to a big move here and there. I guess it doesn't help that Edge never really turned babyface. He's just a heel who is feuding with the general manager, and he doesn't have an established beef with Swagger.
A "Don't Not Try This at Home" video aired...
Backstage, David Otunga told the rest of Nexus that he has a plan that he hasn't run past Wade Barrett. He assured them it wouldn't get them disqualified, as their interference could cost Barrett the match. The others looked apprehensive...
A video package set up Wade Barrett vs. John Cena...
4. Wade Barrett defeated John Cena in 17:50. Nexus must disband if Cena wins. Cena must join Nexus if Barrett wins. The announcers questioned what would happen to Nexus if they were forced to disband. Striker said some would probably end up on Raw and some would probably end up on Smackdown.
Cole said Cena stands for everything that WWE stands for. Striker said it won't be a popular opinion, but it's time for a change. Cole questioned how Striker could say that and stood up for Cena, so I guess he's just going to be pro-Miz.
Cena went for an Attitude Adjustment at 3:15, but the rest of Nexus ran to ringside and distracted him. Barrett slipped out and nailed Cena with a shot. Barrett went to ringside and scolded his Nexus stablemates. He questioned what they were doing and asked them who was in charge.
The announcers reminded viewers that if a member of Nexus touches Cena, Barrett loses the match. The match continued with Barrett in control at 5:00. There were dueling "Let's Go Barrett" and "Let's Go Cena" chants. It sounded about 50/50.
Cena made his comeback and Nexus surrounded the ring as he was setting up for the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Big Show ran out and was followed by MVP, Daniel Bryan, Hart Dynasty, John Morrison, Goldust, Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne, Chris Masters, Dolph Ziggler, and maybe others.
The WWE crew roughed up the four Nexus wrestlers and ran them off as Cena watched with a smile on his face. The WWE crew headed backstage. Cena held up both of his index fingers and mouthed the words "one-on-one" with a smile. Cena went for the Attitude Adjustment at 11:30, but Barrett fought out of it and hit a suplex. Cole was openly cheerleading Cena on commentary.
At 13:30, Cena started to climb the ropes for an apparent legdrop. Cole pointed out that Barrett was in perfect position for that move. Well, he may have been when Cole thought of that, but Barrett was on his feet stopping Cena before Cole completed his sentence.
Cena won the better of a brief exchange on the ropes. Cena hit the legdrop on the back of Barrett and went for a cover, but Barrett kicked out. Striker praised Barrett and told him to hang in there. The live crowd bought into the near fall. Cena went for the Attitude Adjustment, but Barrett slipped out and hit his own finisher for a great near fall.
At 16:15, Cena hit the Attitude Adjustment out of nowhere. He went for the cover, but Barrett kicked out for a great near fall. A short time later, Cena was going for the STF when a "fan" (Michael McGillicutty?) entered the ring and distracted Cena and the referee. Another "fan" (who looked like Husky Harris) ran by and struck Cena with a lead pipe while the ref was distracted. Barrett covered Cena and the ref turned and made the three count.
The other Nexus members ran out and celebrated with Barrett while Cena was lying in the ring. Cole complained about this being a travesty. The Nexus headed to the stage and looked back at Cena with smiles on their faces. As Nexus headed backstage, Cena sat in a corner of the ring with a discouraged look on his face.
The production crew aired shots of fans who were shocked or at least were born with surprised looks on their faces. Cena sold it in the ring for a couple minutes and then slowly walked to the back. He stopped to rub a small child on the head. Lawler said it was like he was kissing the young fan goodbye. Is he going somewhere?...
Powell's POV: I thought Darren Young might interfere since he's technically no longer a member of Nexus, but I love the idea of McGillicutty (Mr. Perfect's kid) and Husky interfering. I'm fairly certain that was Harris, but not positive about McGillicutty. The announcers never even bothered to speculate about the identities of the two "fans." Cole was too busy throwing an over the top tantrum about Cena losing. This would have been a great time for the announcers to lay out given how ineffective they were with the post-match call.
Backstage, Josh Matthews was walking in a dark hallway. Unfortunately, Abyss didn't show up and drag him off to his S&M lair for some branding fun. Rather, Paul Bearer showed up and said that while Kane may be the devil's favorite demon, he'll never be the father of destruction's favorite son...
Powell's POV: Paul is supposed to be Kane's father. Taker has his own father. Paul just hooked up with Taker's mom for a wild night of gothic action, and that's when baby Kane was conceived. Years later, Taker burned his mother and his own father alive and blamed Kane for it. Many years later, he put buried Paul Bearer alive in cement on a WWE pay-per-view. Yet for some reason, Taker is Paul's favorite son. I think I have that right.
5. Natalya defeated Michelle McCool (w/Layla) by DQ in a Unified Divas Championship in 5:00. Natalya had a pin at one point, but Layla stood on the ring apron. The ref blew off his count and turned his attention to Layla. There was a similar spot later where he stopped Layla from getting involved. Natalya locked in the Sharpshooter on McCool. Layla threw her she in the ring and the ref DQ'd her...
Powell's POV: Wow, they made the poor referee look like the most incompetent referee in history. Disappointing match in that it was all about the Layla silliness. They made the poor referee look more obsessed with Layla than our own Marv Hermanstyne is. I assumed they'd go with a cheap finish to set up the rematch, but I was hoping we'd get more action from McCool and Layla.
A Kane and Undertaker video package aired...
6. Kane defeated Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer) in a Hell in a Cell match to retain the World Hvt. Championship in 22:30. Cole noted that it was the 21st HIAC match, and Kane's third HIAC match. Kane attacked Taker as he entered the HIAC structure. The bell rang shortly thereafter, so Tony Chimmel was denied the opportunity to handle the in-ring introductions for the championship match.
They fought around the ringside area while inside the structure. Kane took the advantage and targeted Taker's left knee with a few chair shots. The crowd was really flat at Kane put Taker in the ring and then wrenched his left leg around the ring post. He followed up by slamming the steps into Taker's knee. A small Taker chant started, but didn't pick up steam.
The crowd pepped up a little as both wrestlers entered the ring. An "Undertaker" chant started as Kane continued to work over Taker's left knee. Kane suffered a cut on top of his head at some point. It didn't produce much blood. Kane continued to work over Taker's leg by wrenching on it as both men were lying in the middle of the ring.
Taker broke the hold with punches to the back of Kane's head. They got to their feet and traded punches, which woke up the crowd as they fired into the "yeah" and "boo" routine. Kane got the better of it, but Taker came back with his diving clothesline after running the ropes.
Taker went up top for the old school bit at 11:30, but Kane reached up and took a shot at his knee to knock him down. Taker fired a shot at Kane, who came back with a big uppercut. The crowd was quiet enough when Kane was on offense that people in the second tier may have been able to hear the announcers' commentary.
At 12:45, Kane hit the top rope clothesline. When he tried to follow up, Taker applied the Hell's Gate submission hold. Kane eventually broke the hold by pulling away and falling to the floor at ringside. Kane sold the hold by choking at ringside. When he climbed back inside the ring, both men performed a simultaneous big boot.
Both men got to their knees at the same time. Taker flashed Kane a sinister look and then they exchanged more punches. Taker ended up getting a near fall at 15:00. Taker followed up with a chokeslam for another near fall. "Damn, damn, damn," Bearer said at ringside. Florida Evans should sue for copyright infringement.
Powell's POV: Yes, that's two Florida Evans jokes in one week for those of you keeping score at home.
Kane stood on the second rope and punched Taker, who recovered and turned it into the Last Ride for a near fall. The live crowd was into Taker's offense. Taker muscled up Kane for the Tombstone, but Kane countered and hit his own Tombstone, but Taker kicked out unlike the last time they met.
Kane threw a major league hissy fit in the middle of the ring. He reached up and tagged the referee with an uppercut. Several referees came out and carried the fallen ref away. Paul Bearer entered with the referees and remained inside the structure after the refs left.
Kane looked down at Paul Bearer and went after him. It was the slowest chase scene ever as Paul Bearer walked away from Kane, who slowly stalked him. Bearer entered the ring and begged off in the corner. Kane said Paul should have stayed away and asked if he had any idea what he was going to do to him.
Taker sat up. When Kane turned around, Taker chokeslammed him. Taker did the throat slash gesture and bunch of purple lighting and lighting flashed in the arena. Taker picked up Kane for the Tombstone. Bearer opened the top of the urn and flashed a light into the eyes of Taker, who released the hold.
Paul Bearer stood between Kane and Undertaker. Bearer eventually handed the urn to Kane, who struck Taker with it. Kane chokeslammed Taker and pinned him. Kane and Paul Bearer left the ring together. Bearer held the open urn in front of his face with the glowing light from inside as they headed to the stage. They stood at the top of the stage together with the light shining on them as they looked back at the fallen Taker to close the show...
Powell's POV: Wow, that was horrible. The match was slow and poorly received, although the live crowd was into Taker and was still cheering for him late in the match. As if the punching and kicking wasn't dull enough, the silly urn finish would have been campy had they done it at the peak of the Undertaker and Kane special powers silliness years ago.
Why did Paul Bearer even bother to tease an alliance with Taker just to turn on him? So he earned Taker's trust to turn on him in this match even though he technically would have had no clue that he would ever be allowed to remain inside the structure?
I can't believe they closed the show with that match. Did they really think that campiness was going to send anyone home happy? Awful. I was fine with most of the show through the Cena and Barrett match, but it was all downhill after that. I'll have more to say later tonight in Dot Net Members' audio, and in the WWE Hell in a Cell Hitlist on Monday. Thanks for watching along with me tonight.

Hi there.
Guys, yup, I'm still playing NBA2k9 because I own a crappy laptop and NBA2k9 is the latest NBA2k that I can play without lagging.
Anyway, Is there an available editor that can EDIT PLAYER NAMES in an association?
I've been looking for days and I came up with NBA2K9 Mini Editor V0.4af.
This Editor can change player names but with a very disappointing way.
I cannot edit the names to be longer, it's like, it cannot exceed the number of letters of the name I'm editing.
For example, I want to edit the name "DWAYNE WADE". I want to change it to MICHAEL JORDAN.
BUT, I CANT! All I can achieve is MICHAE JORD .
And one more problem, If I change one name, all other player with the same name, will be changed.
For example, I want to change a player named JAMES HARDEN to MICHA JORDAN. I did this successfully.
BUT THEN, when I came across the cavaliers team, there's a player named "LeBRON MICHA" !!!
(Got my problem?)
So please, if anyone out there has a PLAYER NAME EDITOR for NBA 2k9 PC, please help me and guide me to where I can download it.
I'm desperate.

The Macintosh rings in its 30th birthday today.
The computer beeped to life with a robotic "Hello, I'm Macintosh" at an Apple shareholder meeting in Cupertino, Calif., on Jan. 24, 1984. It was named Macintosh 128K and came with a $2,495 price tag and 128 kilobytes of memory. The Mac has changed shape and sizes — both physically and technologically — several times since its introduction by Steve Jobs.
I spoke with Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies in San Jose, about the Macintosh's reception in 1984 and its signature moments in the decades afterward. He was one of the industry analysts in the audience on Mac's birthday. "None of us sat there and said, 'Wow, we're witnessing history,' " he said. "What we basically said is 'This is an interesting, fascinating take on a new concept in computing. Let's see what happens.' "
Take a look at some of the things that happened on the path to our current MacBook Airs, Mac Pros, and iMacs.

Redridinggoods necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 103 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Red Riding Goods
Red Riding Goods Ltd. is a startup corporation based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The company uses red, long-john style cargo bikes (see attachments) to deliver goods in the downtown core. Efficiency, style, and cycling advocacy are the core business goals.
Any goods that can be sensibly delivered by bike in a congested downtown core, including: coffee beans, baked goods, groceries, chocolate, tea, pizza, and food in general.
Two important points: I am targeting mostly other small businesses, and I am NOT intending to compete with the courier industry. So garish colours and speedlines are not necessary.
General requirements:
I would like a clean logo that works well on the web and in print. Use legible font. The red cargo bike is core to the business, both in terms of brand and function. See http://www.larryvsharry.com/english…ttRED.html (click on the leftmost thumbnail.) A profile of the bike and the words "Red Riding Goods" MUST be in the logo.
The name is a wordplay on Red Riding Hood, so if you think you can work in something creative associated with that fairytale, go for it. But conservative is better than cartoonish.
Specific requirements:
-The words "Red Riding Goods" or "Red Riding Goods Ltd." must be in the logo
-Red should be the dominant colour, ideally close in tone to red in the above link
-Include the silhouette of the cargo bike (rider optional) - see attachments and above link for reference
-Logo should be at least 2:1 Length:Height - in other words, I want it long and rectangular
-DO NOT include the word Bullitt - I am not affiliated with the bike manufacturer
-DO NOT include any photography

The latest boll weevil eradication deadline for stalk destruction in the Upper Coastal Bend zones are the latest extension to join a growing list of areas affected by weather related harvest delays.
Dr. Robert Crocker, Program Specialist for Pest Management and Citrus Programs at the Texas Department of Agriculture, sent out the official notice Oct. 14 indicating stalk destruction extension requests for Zone 3, areas 1-3 have been approved and the effective new deadline stands at Oct. 29, 2013.
The original destruction deadlines for Zone 3, Area 1 (3.1) was Oct.1, but an extension was granted Sept. 19 pushing that deadline to Oct. 15. The latest extension deadline provides for a new cut-off date of Oct. 29. For Zone 3, Areas 2 and 3 (3.2 and 3.3), the original Oct. 15 and Oct. 20 deadlines respectively have both been delayed until Oct. 29.
Local crop officials requested the delays as a result of what they term late planted cotton, a cool spring and abundant September and October rains, which continue to fall in many coastal areas. The counties where the zone areas are located include Jackson, Wharton and Matagorda (3.1), Austin, Fort Bend and Brazoria Counties (3.2) and Harris, Galveston, Chambers, Liberty Jefferson and Orange Counties (3.3). Crocker said there is only negligible risk in granting the requests.
San Patricio County Extension crop specialist Bobby McCool reported Sept. 12 that the TDA granted the blanket extension of the destruction deadline to Oct. 1 for Pest Management Zone 2, Area 3, which includes Aransas County except for that part north of Copano Bay, including but not limited to Lamar and Blackjack peninsulas, and San Patricio County south, and east of U.S. Highway 59 in Bee and Live Oak counties, but those deadlines have now expired.
If you are enjoying reading this article, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
The area continued to receive substantial rain over the last week as a result of extensive Gulf and Pacific moisture fueled by more tropical weather systems. Over the last 60 days, the National Weather Service's Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Center indicates that heavy rainfall amounts ranging between fro 10 inches to 20 to inches have fallen across broad areas of the Houston and Galveston areas and the Upper Coastal Bend zones have received varying rainfall amounts of 4 inches to 16 inches of rain over the last 60 days.
While cotton crop development has been slow in adjacent areas and especially north stretching into Zone 3 (Areas 1, 2 and 3), officials say deadline extensions were necessary until all cotton can be harvested, a task still underway in some areas of the affected zones. Because of late planting and continued rain in recent weeks, Crocker warned that these additional deadlines may become necessary.
In 2012, TDA announcement stalk destruction extensions for Zone 3 for many of the same reasons. According to Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation (TBWEF) guidelines, an extension may be requested for mitigating circumstances such as crop and subsequent harvest delays.
While most areas of the state are boll weevil free, a quarantine zone along the Texas Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley remains in effect and stalk destruction programs are still required in an effort to maintain safeguards against re-infestation.
USDA officials are also working with their counterparts in Mexico to bring about further eradication of the pest in North America.
Eradication officials say that cotton producers in coastal areas who can not meet their respective destruction deadlines can request an individual extension by visiting the Texas Department of Agriculture Web site.

Yahoo beats Google in traffic for first time since 2011. http://t.co/0hiUt1pJCJ @marissamayer may be the best turn around story in 2013
— MrMainStreet (@MisterMainSt) August 22, 2013
Yahoo shares got at 2% bump in early trading Thursday, while it could be a bit of boo-hoo for Google was not breaking much of a sweat at a gain of under 1%.
Astounding just about everyone, July\'s Web traffic for Yahoo surpassed that for Google for the first time in some time, according to digital analysis group comScore in its monthly ranking of U.S. web activity released Wednesday. A comScore spokesman confirmed that Yahoo hasn\'t been numero uno since May 2011. He said Google has been in the number one position when Yahoo hasn\'t, and generally the two have held the top two positions for the \"vast majority of the months over the past five years.\"
Some eyebrows are being raised across social media, of course. There was talk that Yahoo\'s Tumblr acquisition was to thank in part for the bump, but the comScore rep said Tumblr isn\'t currently included in the rollup of Yahoo sites.
\"Seems there are other factors at play, and given how close Yahoo Sites and Google have been in recent months, it can likely just be normal seasonal/month-to-month fluctuations,\" said the comScore rep.
As for the numbers, total Internet audience for Yahoo was nearly 197 million unique visitors, while Google logged 192 million visitors in the month. Microsoft sites came in third, while Facebook and AOL were fourth and fifth, respectively.
So is this is a sign that Yahoo\'s CEO Marissa Mayer is on the right track? Maybe, but some say big traffic may not be enough, in the end, for a company like Yahoo.
$YHOO has always had huge traffic. that is not a story. the complete failure to monetize that traffic IS a story. $GOOG
— steven spencer (@sspencer_smb) August 21, 2013
Spencer went onto point out that Microsoft and Yahoo have around 30% of the search market, but negligible sales compared with Google.
This is a thorny issue for Mayer. In May, the WSJ reported Yahoo has been trying to find a way out of a 10-year Web-search partnership pact with Microsoft that took effect in 2010. Yahoo\'s revenue per search has gotten worse under that deal compared with running independently, the article noted. Citing persons close to the situation, the WSJ said Google has been dangling a better search deal under Yahoo\'s nose for the past year. But given a similar bid for Yahoo and Google to partner up in 2008 caught the attention of regulators, that might not be easy to get off the ground.
Earlier this year, Mayer complained about the Yahoo-Microsoft search deal, saying she wants to see the companies do more than just swap market share back and forth.
\"We need to see monetization working better, because we know that it can and we\'ve seen other competitors in the space illustrate how well it can work,\" Mayer said, according to Search Engine Watch.
As Yahoo\'s second-quarter results showed last month, the company is on a turnaround track, but its core businesses are still struggling amid stiff competition and a rapid audience shift to mobile. Yahoo cut its full-year earnings-and-sales forecast, and its outlook for the third quarter fell short of hopes. At issue for Yahoo is its display-advertising business, which is still its main source of revenue, MarketWatch\'s Therese Poletti pointed out last month. Poletti also noted that Yahoo shares are up over 70% since Mayer has arrived, but much of that is due to a pending Alibaba IPO.
Susquehanna released its own digital ad monitor on Thursday, which tracks the latest trends in U.S. online advertising. This found that Facebook is in the driver\'s seat. Google, Yahoo and AOL all disappointed, said analyst Brian Nowak. He\'s got a $29 price target for Yahoo, which currently sits at $27, but he says one of the main downside risks is the company\'s \"inability to grow mobile user base or mobile monetization.\"

U.S. and Canada, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s
-Hans Heinrich Conrad Borchers, 1867, America, Immigrant: Catharina Engel Borchers; son - Hans Heinrich Conrad Borchers
It does help to have the inside track on Henry Borchers' given name. My uncle has provided me with more information of Henry's origins in Germany. His given name was Hans Heinrich Conrad Borchers. He was born the only child of Catharina "Thrine" Engel Borchers (nee Blume) and Johann Conrad Borchers. Henry's father died in 1854, within a few years after Henry was born. Henry lived his life as an only child.
I can't forget to mention that Henry was technically from Prussia. Much of Germany was actually Prussia during the 1800s until the great war. He was also Lutheran. In Germany, Lutheran's were referred to as Evangelicals. The following dates and information are based off church records that my uncle retrieved.
1866 - Hans Heinrich Conrad Borchers - Confirmation on 8 Apr 1866, Hohnhorst, Hessen, Prussia
1852 - Hans Heinrich Conrad Borchers - Baptism on 12 Apr 1852, Hohnhorst, Hessen, Prussia
1852 - Hans Heinrich Conrad Borchers - Birth on 8 Apr 1852, Hohnhorst, Hesse Cassel, Schaumburg, Prussia, Germany (Today: Lower Saxony, Niedersachsen, Germany; formerly Hessische Grafschaf Schaumburg)
Henry was born and grew up about 30 miles due west of Hanover, Germany. Why his mother made the decision to leave and come to the USA is not real clear. Many German immigrants came to the midwest of the United States during this time looking for a better life. They clustered together in their own German communities. It is possible that Thrine (Henry's mother) came to the United States with plans to marry Hans Henry Steege since he was a widower (and she was a widow) with several young children already living in Indiana.
Sourcing and proving Henry's locations stateside in the United States has proven to be an easy task. I often wonder what he was like. Most of the census information simply indicates that he was a farmer. At least now, I know where he lived and where he was from.
Part 3 is next with some additional oral history, even if anecdotal in nature.

Christmas Trees Head to Missouri Governor's Mansion
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) - It's about to look a lot like Christmas at the Missouri Governor's Mansion.
The Christmas trees that will adorn the outside, the grand staircase, the parlor and library will arrive Monday.
The outside tree is a natural growth, 25-foot Eastern Red Cedar.
Inside, an Eastern White Pine from Tannenbaum Tree Farm in Armstrong will be placed in the grand staircase. It will be decorated in classic gold and burgundy.
Four eight-foot Eastern White Pines from Pea Ridge Nursery, near Hermann, will be placed in the library and parlor. The parlor trees will feature bluebird decorations, while dogwood decorations will adorn the library trees. The bluebird is Missouri's state bird, and the dogwood is the state tree.
Tours of the Christmas trees are planned for Nov. 30 and Dec. 1.
