May 20 Microsoft Launches WorldWide Telescope for Space Exploration
DisabilitySecrets.com - Social Security Disability Claims Advice From Former Examiner DisabilitySecrets.com
provides information on the two disability benefit programs administered
by the United States Social Security Administration under authority granted
by the Social Security Act. Those two disability benefit programs are known
as social security disability insurance (SSDI) and supplemental security
income (SSI) and are established, respectively, under titles 2 and 16 of
the social security act. Begun in 2003, the website offers
detailed
overviews of the disability evaluation process. It also provides answers
to numerous questions regarding applications for disability, how to file
appeals in the event of a denial, how to prepare for hearings before a
federal administrative law judge, and how to otain representation. Beyond
the basics, more information is provided to answer questions that disability
claimants often have, but, despite having access to social security field
office representatives when they file for benefits or pursue an appeal,
often have trouble finding answers to. These questions cover a wide range
of topics but often include "How long will it take to receive a decision?",
"What are the odds of winning during an appeal?", "How do I prepare for
a hearing?", and "Should I get representation?" To answer these questions,
which go beyond even detailed information concerning the mechanics of social
security disability and SSI, the site draws heavily upon the unique perspective
of its author, a former social security administration disability claims
examiner.Tags:DisabilitySecrets.com, disability benefits, SSDI, SSI, Disability Claims Advice May 12 Evergreen Developments Group Launches Web Site for Northern Cyprus Properties

May 08 Music Sharing Mega-Site Ucombo.com Launches Download Storehttp://www.ucombo.com
Ucombo.com, founded by Benefito, Inc. in December 2007, began its quest to bring together both musicians and music lovers by providing a free venue where all types of music from different genres could be uploaded by aspiring artists and professional performers, to be enjoyed and downloaded by music enthusiasts. Now, Ucombo.com is taking this popular music community a step further by allowing musicians to actually sell their original tracks online. This is made possible by virtual stores run by the site which enable artists to incorporate several tools, including providing a short demo of their music for sale. Performers can put up as many tracks as they want on the block and build up a fan base by inviting their friends to sign up to Ucombo.com and vote for their music. The more votes an artist receives, the wider the promotion generated for their music, and the greater the chances they have of selling their work. From pop, rock and alternative to hip-hop, r&b and classical, plus everything else in between, all of these original music tracks composed and rendered by amazing talents will not go unnoticed at Ucombo.com. The universal appeal of site's slogan, "Share the Music" is further enhanced by this new service. While providing the opportunity to promote innovative and original sounds, the new download store also gives artists the chance to earn money for their music. Ucombo.com will provide free and user-friendly tools for musicians to operate their own online store, without requiring any programming skills to design or run it. In fact, aspiring and professional musicians can do away with the need for a middleman, instead use a Paypal Premier or Business account to get paid immediately, without having to accumulate a certain amount. As soon as fans purchase an MP3, Paypal will verify payment and Ucombo.com will send the buyer a link to download their chosen track. Artists can withdraw payment as soon as they log on to their Paypal account. This new service will allow greater proliferation of new sounds by new artists, practically doing away with the need for associating with a big-name record label. This opportunity to promote music for free and earn from it at the same time will benefit musical artists and music lovers alike.

URL: http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/ A group of researchers has succeeded in playing the world's oldest sound recording of a human voice made in 1860 – 17 years before Thomas Edison invented the phonograph. Roughly ten seconds in length, the recording is of a person singing “Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit” – a snippet from a French folksong. It was made on April 9, 1860 by Parisian inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville on his “phonautograph” – a device that scratched sound waves onto a sheet of paper blackened by the smoke of an oil lamp. Scott never dreamed of playing back his recordings. But this morning, the dream Scott never had will come true. A cadre of audio historians, recording engineers, and scientists working in conjunction with the First Sounds initiative has transformed Scott’s smoked-paper tracings into sound. They will premiere Au Clair de la Lune today at the annual conference of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections at Stanford University. You can access the recording as an mp3 file now at http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/. Examples of sounds evoked from French and American phon-autograph recordings made between 1857 and 1878 will also be played publicly for the first time. First Sounds historians Patrick Feaster and David Giovannoni began their search for surviving phonautograph recordings, or phonautograms, in the fall of 2007. In October they studied 19 examples held by the Edison National Historic Site, made in 1878 by Edison and his associates to study the noise of the Metropolitan Elevated Railroad in Manhattan. In December they identified two specimens at the Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle (the French patent office), which Léon Scott deposited with his patent applications of 1857 and 1859. And in February they con-firmed the survival of nearly a dozen phonautograms deposited by Scott at the Académie des Sciences of the Institut de France. These include Scott’s first experiments from 1853 or 1854, as well as his most technically-accomplished recordings from 1860... Read the full press release.

Did the person want to have his/her final place of rest at the mountains or the beach? There is a choice of scenic locations, or, just upload your own.

And so, we developed CemeterySpot to meet those needs.” said Hal Stevens, President...

The project comes at a critical moment in American politics: this year, American voters will take part in a landmark election, where for the first time in over a half-century, neither the sitting President nor vice president is a contender for the Oval Office. In the coming months, voters will wrestle with tough questions and campaign issues: Who should we trust? How do we end a war? Who is best suited to lead the nation in a volatile world? With The Presidents, AMERICAN EXPERIENCE provides an invaluable historical roadmap — helping viewers to understand where we have been, so that they may better decide where we are going. Visitors to the Campaign ’08 Web site will select provocative questions that connect today’s domestic and international issues and candidate platforms with yesterday’s leaders. For example, by selecting “How do you end a war?” users will be able to scan video segments about the resolutions of World War II, the Vietnam War, and the Cold War. The site currently features five such questions, which will be updated to reflect hot button election issues leading up to November 2008. Seven films – more than twenty-five hours in all- will be streamed for online viewing, and available for download, beginning with FDR, Truman, and Reagan in February. In the coming months, programs examining Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Jimmy Carter will follow.
