Managing near-disasters is part of the job. Here’s how three determined team leaders saved projects that had gone off the rails.

Goldman Sachs (GS) apologized for its role in the financial crisis this week and announced it would invest $500 million in small businesses as a mea culpa. But corporate reputation expert Eric Dezenhall believes the move may be an expensive and pointless kabuki show for the unwashed masses who don't understand how the firm really works.

You’re counting on your 401(k) to provide a cushy retirement. Or at least food, shelter, and a broadband connection. But many investors undermine their savings plans without even knowing it. We’ve compiled a list of the most common mistakes, and explained how to avoid them.

[2009.11.11] Jimmy Page: Telecaster Legend

Image:© JazzSign/Lebrecht Music & Arts/Corbis

We've covered Les Pauls, Stratocasters, Rickenbackers, Flying Vs and Explorers. Now it's the turn of Clarence Leonidas Fender's pioneering debut solidbody; the Fender Telecaster. First entering production as the single-pickup Esquire and twin-pickup Broadcaster in 1950, for many guitarists, Leo got it right first time.

What follows is part one of a gallery of Telecaster and Esquire-toting gunslingers who have all shaped the face of rock 'n' roll and popular music through a blend of technique, passion and instinct. Oh, and a hell of a lot of great tunes. Without further ado, let's start the ball rolling with Jimmy Page.

Though widely associated with Gibsons (Les Pauls, EDS-1275 double necks), Jimmy Page has made extensive use of Fender Telecasters. The model that saw the most action was a '59 or '60 Tele gifted to Page by fellow Yardbird Jeff Beck in 1966. Originally painted white, Page added eight reflective circles to it in 1967. He then stripped it down and repainted it himself with a dragon motif - thus, it became his 'Dragon Tele.'

Page recorded most of Led Zeppelin's first album with the Dragon [2009.11.10] Led Zep to Round 2 of MSG's 100 Best

Them Crooked Vultures' self-titled debut album won't be released until next Tuesday, November 17th, but you can listen to it right now. The supergroup of Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones are streaming the hard-rocking, Zeppelin-inspired album in its entirety now over at TCV's official site. This gift comes just a week after the Vultures offered up their song "Mind Eraser, No Chaser" to fans as a free download.

Inspired by the Vultures' generosity, for your reading pleasure we're posting our review for Them Crooked Vultures now before it hits stands in our next issue. In his three-and-a-half star Rolling Stone review of TCV, Rob Sheffield writes, "The album sticks to the sort of low-end guitar boogie that Homme and Grohl were blasting in their Camaros when they bummed their first cigarettes." With Jones in tow, the supergroup sticks to their Zep roots, as the track "Elephants" "basically crunches every riff on Led Zeppelin II into seven dizzy minutes."

"Sometimes the music sounds exactly like Zeppelin, as on 'Reptiles,' a sly update of 'South Bound Suarez,'" Sheffield writes. "Other times it sounds like Queens of the Stone Age with a hot new bassist. But it's not desperately ambitious - the album sounds like the good-natured quickie it probably was."

As an added incentive to preorder Them Crooked Vultures on iTunes, the album will include live renditions of "No One Loves Me & Neither Do I" and "Gunman." Until next week when you can enjoy TCV on your iPod or home stereo, hit up the full stream at the band's official site now.
