Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Well bust my buttons, if it isn't time for another round of What Are You Reading, where we talk about all the comics, books and other reading matter we're currently engrossed in. Our guest this week is High Moon co-creator and writer David Gallaher, who's been blogging with us at Robot 6 all this past week.
David has quite a list of titles to pour over, so let's get to it. Click on the link below to get started.
Hey kids, didya like that recent Simpsons Treehouse of Horror issue? You know, the one featuring folks like Kevin Huizenga, Dan Zettwoch and Jeffrey Brown? Well, now you can own a piece of it, as editor Sammy Harkham is selling off the original artwork. I blew all my spending cash at SPX last weekend, but perhaps you might have a couple extra hundred lying in your sofa somwhere. (found via Comics Comics)
Guinness World Records was at the San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend presenting awards for various records achieved by comic books, TV shows and other activities you might associate with the con. Here's a complete rundown of what they presented:
Longest Running Sitcom and Longest Running Animated TV Series – With over 443 episodes, The Simpsons is the longest running sitcom (by episode count) and longest running animated series. During its 20th season (2008-09), The Simpsons finally overtook the 435 episodes of former record holder The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (1952-66).
Best-selling Comic (single edition) – Spider-Man No.1, first published in August 1990, is the Best-selling Comic (single edition). With an initial print run of 2.35 million, the record-breaking edition was sold with a variety of differently colored covers and several reprints were ordered to keep up with high public demand.
Longest Continuosly Published Comic Book – The longest running comic book is Detective Comics, which has been printed continuously by DC Comics in the USA since Issue #1 in March 1937. The comic introduced the character of Batman in Issue #27 in May 1939.
Most Successful Sci-fi TV Show – Doctor Who, the longest running sci-fi television show, is now the Most Successful Sci-fi Show on Television. Based on the length of the show's run and international sales data, the series about the adventures of the iconic Time Lord was presented with the new record at Comic-Con 2009 International.
Most Digital Effects in a TV Series – Farscape employed about 25 computer artists to create between 40 and 50 effects shot per episode. The effects team had just seven days to work on each episode, at a rate of 22 episodes per year.
Largest Gathering of Zombies – The record largest gathering of zombies was achieved by 3,894 participants in the 'Red White and Dead Zombie Party' in association with Night Zero on July 3, 2009 in Seattle, Washington. Ryan Reiter, Artistic Director for Freemont Outdoor Cinema Events.

The 2009 San Diego Comic-Con kicks off with preview night on Wednesday, July 22 and runs through Sunday, July 26. If you are a publisher, creator, retailer or any other kind of exhibitor who would like to let folks know about any special plans you have for the show (panels, signing schedules, exclusives, debuts, etc.) drop me an email and I'll run it here.
Organizations | The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and Things From Another World have teamed up to create a set of limited edition cards by various comic creators that will be handed out by various publishers, the CBLDF and TFAW. The original artwork for the cards will be auctioned off at the con, with proceeds going to the fund. Contributors include Mike Mignola, Phil Hester, Eric Powell, Gabriel Bá, Fábio Moon, Steve Lieber and many more.
Panels | Although the official programming schedule hasn't been released yet, a few companies have started sharing their panels via press releases and such. Thursday at the con brings a panel on Disney animator Walt Stanchfield, who is profiled in a new book called Drawn to Life: 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes.
Also, FOX TV has released their schedule. They'll have panels dedicated to the Simpsons, Family Guy, The Cleveland Show (a Family Guy spinoff), 24, Futurama and Bones. They'll also have Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku on hand to introduce a never before seen episode of Dollhouse. And they'll have a panel dedicated to their new show Glee, where they'll show another episode. You can watch the first one on Hulu; it is hilarious.
Interestingly enough, the release doesn't mention Fringe, but there will be a panel with several members of the cast.
Jeffrey Brown, one of several creators contributing to Bongo's Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror comic this year, shares some rough sketches of the first page of his story here and here. His story, "Bad Milhouse," features Bart's best friend in a story inspired by the TV movie Bad Ronald.
I somehow missed this in Tucker Stone's report from MoCCA last week, but luckily Heidi over at the Beat caught it — Stone spoke with John Kerschbaum about his future projects, and the creator revealed that he's working on this year's Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror book for Bongo Comics.
Kerschbaum isn't the only one working on the book, though; as you can see below in the solicitation copy that Bongo was kind enough to send us, they've recruited a Murderer's Row of creators, including Jeffrey Brown, Kevin Huizenga, Matthew Thurber and many more, and it's edited by Sammy Harkham of Kramers Ergot fame:
Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror #15
Edited by Sammy Harkham
48 pages/standard format/color/humor
Guest edited by Sammy Harkham, the award-winning creator of the popular Kramers Ergot anthology, this year's issue is a jam-packed with some of the most idiosyncratic (and weirdest) takes on "The Simpsons" universe ever. Among Halloween-inspired short strips by such visionary cartoonists as Jordan Crane (Uptight), C.F. (Powr Mastrs), Will Sweeney (Tales from Greenfuzz), Tim Hensley (MOME), and John Kerschbaum (Petey & Pussy), are four featured tales of inspired Simpsons lunacy: heralded artists Kevin Huizenga (Ganges, Or Else) and Matthew Thurber (1-800 Mice, Kramers Ergot) collaborate on a weird and wild story equal parts Lovecraftian eco-horror and Philip K. Dick identity comedy. Jeffrey Brown (Incredible Change-Bots, Clumsy) does a creepy and suitably pathetic story featuring Milhouse in a "Bad Ronald"-inspired tale of murder and crawl space living. Harkham and Ted May (INJURY) pull out all the stops for a tragic monster tale of unrequited love, bad karaoke, and body snatching at Moe's Bar. Ben Jones (Paper Rad) does the comic of his life with an epic tale of how bootleg candy being sold at the Kwik-E-Mart rapidly spirals out of control into an Invasion of The Body Snatchers-like nightmare of a Springfield filled with cheap bootleg versions of familiar characters. And nobody does squishy, sweaty, and gross like up and coming cartoonist Jon Vermilyea (MOME), who outdoes himself with "C.H.U.M.M.," a C.H.U.D.-inspired parody featuring everybody's favorite senior citizen, Hans Moleman!
With a cover by Dan Zettwoch, Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror #15 is like nothing you've ever seen, and is sure to be one of the most talked about comics of the year by alternative comic readers and Simpsons fans of all ages!
This goes on my "must buy" list.
As I noted earlier this week, the United States Post Office unveiled five stamps featuring The Simpsons yesterday. The stamps will be available to purchase on May 7.
Related products and information on a contest can be found at the USPS's Simpsons site.
Fans in the United Kingdom and the United States both have something to look forward to in the mail later this year. First, the Royal Mail will introduce new stamps (pictured above) designed by Dave McKean featuring assorted mythical beasts. In addition, if you buy a presentation pack, the stamps will include a short story by Neil Gaiman. The stamps are due June 16.
And for those of us on this side of the ocean … later this week the United States Post office will unveil the designs for stamps featuring the five main Simpsons characters — Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie. No word on when the stamps will actually hit stores, but I'm sure they'll announce that on April 9 as well.
The nominees for the 2009 Joe Shuster Awards, which honor Canadian comics creators, were announced today. The five-year-old awards program is named after Joe Shuster, co-creator of Superman. The list of nominees this year includes Darwyn Cooke, J. Torres, Karl Kerschl, Dave Sim, Kathryn & Stuart Immonen, Faith Erin Hicks and Seth, among many others.
Check out the full list of nominees in the press release after the jump.

America's Cup- Dean Barker talks about the sailing side of NZA
by Richard Gladwell on 6 Feb 2013
Dean Barker, with wife Mandy, at the Emirates Team NZ AC72 Launch February 4, 2013 © Richard Gladwell
Emirates Team New Zealand's skipper, Dean Barker discussed the sailing issues and program with the teams new AC72, New Zealand Aotearoa.
Surprisingly he reveals that the team only have 13 sailors, and that they will be announcing a 'First Eleven' from that group. For most teams that would not even be a viable reserve bench.
That leads to the question as to what the Plan B is for many of the specialist positions on board, including what happens if the skipper has an accident and can't sail? He says the team doesn't have the budget to be able to afford a second helmsman.
According to Barker no decisions have been made on the First Eleven, and that will be decided while they are sailing in Auckland.
In this video he talks about the options for moding the boat - as to whether to sail high and slow or low and fast.
They are expecting to get a good work-out from an improved Luna Rossa when they start sailing again, next week, and that process will continue in San Francisco.
There are also a couple of key design options that have to be evaluated and signed off, but otherwise it would seem that the time for development is largely over.
Barker also gives his assessment of the other teams - particularly those based in San Francisco. He is expecting Oracle's second AC72 to be very similar to their first, relaunched model.
This interview is the second in a series of four, with view from team boss Grant Dalton http://www.sail-world.com/NZ/Americas-Cup:-Grant-Dalton-on-the-new-AC72---Aotearoa/106313!click_here to view; Kevin Shoebridge (shore boss and COO on the logistics of the AC72 campaign) and Technical Director, Nick Holroyd.

Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Neuropragmatism, old and new

Recent work in neurophilosophy has either made reference to the work of John Dewey or independently developed positions similar to it. I review these developments in order first to show that Dewey was indeed doing neurophilosophy well before the Churchlands and others, thereby preceding many other mid-twentieth century European philosophers' views on cognition to whom many present day philosophers refer (e.g., Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty). I also show that Dewey's work provides useful tools for evading or overcoming many issues in contemporary neurophilosophy and philosophy of mind. In this introductory review, I distinguish between three waves among neurophilosophers that revolve around the import of evolution and the degree of brain-centrism. Throughout, I emphasize and elaborate upon Dewey's dynamic view of mind and consciousness. I conclude by introducing the consciousness-as-cooking metaphor as an alternative to both the consciousness-as-digestion and consciousness-as-dancing metaphors. Neurophilosophical pragmatism—or neuropragmatism—recognizes the import of evolutionary and cognitive neurobiology for developing a science of mind and consciousness. However, as the cooking metaphor illustrates, a science of mind and consciousness cannot rely on the brain alone—just as explaining cooking entails more than understanding the gut—and therefore must establish continuity with cultural activities and their respective fields of inquiry. Neuropragmatism advances a new and promising perspective on how to reconcile the scientific and manifest images of humanity as well as how to reconstruct the relationship between science and the humanities.

By Spc. Raymond Quintanilla, USD-S PAOSeptember 17, 2010
BASRA, Iraq - Soldiers stationed in Basra are using combatives classes for much more than learning how to win hand to hand combat.
The discipline, concentration, physical fitness, and fearlessness required to succeed at Modern Army Combatives (MAC) helps to develop well-rounded Soldiers, according to Sgt. 1st Class Carl Fryday, a level four MAC instructor.
"We try to train the warrior spirit into Soldiers," said Fryday, a native of Sterlington, La., and the fire support noncommissioned officer for the 1st Infantry Division. "With the right kind of stress, Soldiers are forced to face their trepidations."
"The idea behind combatives is to teach how to engage the enemy, while your fellow Soldiers outflank them," Fryday said. "Take them down as a team and achieve numerical superiority."
"If every Soldier is confident in closing the distance with the enemy," Fryday said. "We're going to be more successful, that's the overall goal." Fryday said adding more striking into the training program emphasizes a combat focus, unlike preparing for a competition.
"Through this, we can train courage."
"It's a confidence builder," said Chief Warrant Officer David Hemingway, a level two combatives instructor from Utica, N.Y.
"To give a junior Soldier the opportunity to face adversity and come beyond it," Hemingway said. "It reflects back in their work environment."
The goal of MAC, which incorporates techniques from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and other forms of martial arts, is to provide realistic training and develop programs made available for different size units.
It consists of four levels. Level one covers basic fighting skills and is the pedestal of the upper three levels. Levels two through four are instructor courses, which in turn provide training from company level to division, respectively.
Sgt. 1st Class Jeneen Saucedo, a native of San Bernardino, Calif. and military police noncommissioned officer with the 1st Inf. Div. said combatives sharpens her instincts.
"It gives me the opportunity to employ tactics that will help defend those under my care as an NCO," Saucedo said. "It gives me a sense of being a Soldier first."
The individual skills and other attributes gained from combatives also enhances the Soldiers abilities in their battle rhythm.
"You see people change," Fryday said. "They start developing a sense of personal wealth, which bleeds into their military occupational skills."
While the work tempo can prove to be hectic at times, it is the responsibility for every Soldier to ensure their overall well-being meets or exceeds Army standards.
"We are Soldiers," Fryday said. "Whether with combatives or not, find a way to enhance your capabilities, find a way to be that warrior."

'So if liberalism made America so successful materially and politically, why is it now enabling a slow euthanasia?'
James E. Miller writes: In a recent interview with On Being, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt described the paradox of capitalist systems engendering liberal values over time. "So here's the irony: the left generally hates capitalism, but capitalism changes everybody's values to be more leftist," he said.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - A team of scientists is set to visit Athens to comb over the preparations for the new medical campus scheduled to open next year near the University of Georgia campus.
A good review by the Liaison Committee for Medical Evaluation
could give the partnership between the Medical College of Georgia
and UGA the go-ahead to begin recruiting students.
UGA Provost Arnett Mace calls it a "very important visit."
The committee is set to decide in June whether the college can
expand its entering class by 40 students for the Athens campus in
August 2010.

I will be teaching an econometrics course to masters students in the fall. I think it is important for them to learn programming with data as an essential applied research skill. What suggestions do you have for the programming language. I am leaning mostly towards R. What others should I consider?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
closed as not constructive by Ryan O'Hara♦ May 26 '13 at 1:57
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
R is a very good choice. Go for it.
The number of resources on the web keeps increasing. One nice set of slides is provided the UCLA Stat Consulting Center.
And as you are into Econometrics, make sure you look at Grant Farnworth's Econometrics with R on CRAN; the Applied Econometrics with R book by Zeileis and Kleiber is also very good.
I prefer R but other free options to consider would be:
I'm surprised no-one else has mentioned Excel. As Brian Ripley once said (see slide 7):
Indeed, Excel is an excellent tool for adding up columns of numbers. Having said that, if the analysis you are doing is any more complicated than that, you should definitely use a proper programming language.
Of the three obvious data manipulation languages (R, MATLAB and Python), R has the best data manipulation tools. See this other SO question for a more detailed comparison.
EDIT: Upon rereading this, I sound a rather pro-Excel. I'd like to expand my answer to save my reputation.
Excel causes me many more problems than benefits. Its widespread use in my organisation is mostly detrimental. It makes it very hard to trace where data has come from, and how your computations work. Debugging Excel models is near impossible. It encourages local data stores instead of central databases. It doesn't work with diff tools and it makes reproducibility of your science hard. From a semantic point of view, it doesn't separate data and what-is-done-to-the-data. The idea that all your variables need a location distracts from understanding. The plotting capabilities are laughably awful.
All that said, Excel is useful for a few specific things:
That's it. For anything else, it's a mess.
Python -- specifically the numpy, pandas and matplotlib modules using the ipython notebook as an IDE.
I will nod at all other comments suggesting R. It is undeniable that R has a far greater library of packages to choose from. But I think it is nonsense to try to teach R syntax as the first programming language. Beginners just won't get it and they will be turned off. R syntax is notably counterintuitive.
From my own experience, with just a smidgeon of Python I was able to get what functions, classes and objects were, and only after that R made sense to me. Moreover, I find that the ipython notebook is unsurpassed in making coding and evaluating results easy. It abolished the need to keep moving the eyes from the source editor window to the shell window and back, as one would have in any other IDE.
Since you're interested in R, you could also take a look at Incanter. Since it's built with Clojure - a Lisp dialect for the JVM - you'd be able to leverage the vast array of existing Java libraries.
R Language is best option for learning and teaching econometric course. Gretl is also another useful GUI software.

Pretty little shot, Ruth! What are they asking for this home?
No idea...there was something for sale a bit further west last year but I didn't notice the sign this trip...
I like the spring look almost as much as the fall look I sez just skip over winter, but some folks like that season so I suppose we best leave it
Really cool framing and composition, Ruth
Really cool framing and composition, Ruth
I like the spring too! Winter was interesting with all the bare trees but as you can see it needed to be a more 'all encompassing' shot with the mountain in the back...summer will be kind of blah, I'm thinking...
Lovely shot and great title!
Gorgeous scene
it really is! and I just got a 1st for the Autumn version at our local County fair...next year I may have to do a collage of them all
Oh Wow, this is great! One more and you'll have all 4 seasons!
I'm so excited But I really don't know what 'summer' is going to bring - around here pretty much the grass just browns off...so maybe it'll be a combo of spring and fall green trees/brown-gold grasses...
I look forward to seeing it! We have some of that same combination here, in nature the wild grasses and weeds die off due to lack of rain, replaced usually with things like thistle and other weeds. My yard does dies off as well because we are usually on water restrictions during the summer and I refuse to water it for "aesthetics sake" I let mother nature do her thing, if it is her choice to brown the grass, then so be it. [good thing I don't have a HOA in my neighborhood!!!] My only issue is that then the next year my yard is all weeds again. I need to find a balance!
I know the problem of water restriction and not watering from down in southern California - luckily we're on our own well here but the landscape is too steep for much planting and we've only got a little area that I have to worry about watering (and keeping the deer out of!) Someday we may have an orchard but in the meantime we (by that I mean my husband ) just have to clear the weeds once or so a year to the fire requirements of 100 feet from the house...
Love this!! ~
probably looks a bit similar to your "neck" of the woods
how beautiful it is

The "doggy bag" may be an antiquated term, but the truth is that most restaurants need some way to let customers carry extra food items. Whether someone orders Chinese, picks up food "to-go," or simply cannot finish that giant plate of barbeque ribs, customers rely on carryout containers. Restaurants have several options in their containers. The size, shape and material depends on the food and even how it's packaged.
Carry out containers come in different materials, and the best container for your operation depends on the type of food served. Consider aluminum, Styrofoam, plastic, plastic or bioplastic containers for your business. Keep in mind how customers or clients may reheat the food, as well as how the food will hold up during transport.
Aluminum Containers
Aluminum containers hold in the heat when foods are ordered "to go," and they are great vessels for reheating. Slightly tougher than foil, they can go straight from the refrigerator to the oven, so many customers appreciate it when leftover pastas, pizza or meat dishes are stashed in an aluminum container.
Types of Aluminum Containers
Aluminum containers are available in round, square or rectangular shapes. These containers are usually low and have ridged edges. For a chafing dish substitution, select a rectangular full-size container for using as a chafing dish or in a steam table.
Aluminum Caters to Caterers
Many caterers utilize aluminum containers daily. Since they often put together large portions for events, full-size or half-size aluminum containers can be used in place of chafing dishes on steam tables or over a flame. Aluminum containers can be found in large sizes, which is great for serving vats of mashed potatoes during the holidays, or large portions of barbeque chicken at the local block party.
You may also prefer aluminum foil to use as food wrap rather than use an actual container. Try aluminum food wrap for items like burritos and sandwiches.
Is Aluminum Right for You?
Heavy-duty items are great for reheating, freezing, transporting and serving. Another perk: it's recyclable.
Keep In Mind
You'll probably need to purchase separate lids, or use foil to cover your aluminum containers. Also important to keep in mind, these types of containers are not safe for use in the microwave.
Styrofoam Containers
Styrofoam containers are made from the chemical, polystyrene. This makes them excellent insulators, and these containers are common for everything from burgers to steaks.
Types of Styrofoam Containers
Clamshell containers have a built-in lid. Use a Styrofoam clamshell container for a burger, an order of Chinese stir-fry, or even leftover steak. Try a compartment container for to-go meals that include different ingredients or separate sides.
Is Styrofoam Right for You?
Styrofoam's lightweight, insulating and low-cost properties are perfect for many types of foods. It can handle heavy food items like pasta, and it's great for both hot and cold items.
Keep In Mind
Styrofoam has also been known to leach chemicals when heated, and it is not recommended for long-term use. It's not recyclable and it takes years to decompose.
Bio-Plastic Deli Containers
Common in delis and grocery store produce departments, plastic is strong and durable. The added benefit of a tightly-sealing lid can be helpful for products like pasta salad, soup and juicy fruit pieces with a tendency to leak. Plastic is usually transparent for added visibility.
Is Bio-Plastic Right for You?
Plastic containers are sturdy and durable, great for heavy or liquid items. Plastic is often recyclable and can be reused, making it a nice option for thrifty customers.
Keep In Mind
Bio-plastic deli containers usually require separate lids. Microwave use is typically not recommended.
Bio-plastic Clamshell Containers
Bioplastic is the term for containers made of renewable materials like corn, potatoes and other plant-based substances. Just like plastic or Styrofoam, bioplastics are available as cups, plates and containers for holding and transporting food items.
Types of Bio-plastic Clamshell Containers
Bioplastic clamshell containers are especially common since they have built-in lids and compartments to keep foods separated.
Is Bio-plastic Right for You?
Bioplastic carryout containers are great alternatives for plastic, Styrofoam and other non-recyclable containers. They are designed to decompose when composted, but usually require special composting centers to truly break down.
Keep In Mind
The biggest downside to bioplastics is its weak composition, and its tendency to breakdown in high heat. These containers are also usually more expensive than their traditional counterparts.
Storing Your Carryout Container Inventory
Store carryout containers in your supply room, kitchen or near the cash register area where they are easy to access and close to the preparation space. Put them near soda fountains if they are meant for customer access.
Take-out Only
For restaurants that serve food for take-out only, the chef or cook will load the food directly into a carryout-appropriate container rather than a dinner plate. This is efficient and effective, and requires no work by the cashier or server.
In-House Dining and Take-out Options
Restaurants that offer a to-go option as well as a dine-in option usually have an employee ready to prepare the meal to-go, then present it to a waiting customer. This may involve putting a lid on the container of food, and bagging up the container along with a set of plastic silverware and napkins before handing it to the customer.
Self-Service Take-Out
Some restaurants stash their containers on a counter or near a soda fountain so that customers can serve themselves. Fast-casual and casual dining restaurants may have this option to give customers the most control over their leftovers.
Assisted Doggy-Bagging
Sit-down restaurants most often encourage the server to bring the container to the table for customers to fill themselves. At fine dining restaurants, servers may opt to remove the plates and box up any remaining food back in the kitchen area.

IMF Board Approves $15.2 Billion Loan to Ukraine
The International Monetary Fund approved a 2 ½-year, $15.2 billion loan program for Ukraine, which agreed to trim its budget deficit and raised natural gas prices to qualify for the funds.
The IMF board of directors agreed late yesterday to disburse $1.9 billion immediately, with subsequent payments subject to quarterly reviews. Ukraine can use $1 billion of the first payment to help cover the deficit, Thanos Arvanitis, the Washington-based lender's Ukraine mission chief, said today on a conference call with reporters.
"Ukraine is emerging from a difficult period during which the economy was severely hit by external shocks and exacerbated by domestic vulnerabilities," John Lipsky, the fund's first deputy managing director, said in a statement. "Authorities are committed to addressing existing imbalances and putting the economy on a path of durable growth."
Ukraine got a two-year, $16.4 billion loan from the IMF in 2008 after the global recession cut demand for its exports. The nation received $10.6 billion before payments were frozen in November as the government declined to cut spending ahead of presidential elections at the start of this year.
The government this month increased gas prices for households and heating companies to balance finances of state energy company NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy. Under policies attached to the new loan, the consolidated general government deficit has to reach 5.5 percent of gross domestic product this year and 3.5 percent next year.
VTB Loan
Ukraine in June received a $2 billion loan from VTB Group, Russia's second-largest bank, to help cover the deficit.
"We expect that the first tranche from the IMF will be used to finance the budget deficit and, in particular, to refinance a $2 billion loan received from VTB," said Anastasia Golovach, an analyst at Renaissance Capital in Kiev in an e-mailed note.
The IMF will provide a second $1 billion for the state budget after the first quarterly review, Arvanitis said. The remaining $13 billion will go to central bank reserves, he said.
The loan "eases concerns over budget financing for this year," said Tim Ash, head of emerging market research at Royal Bank of Scotland Plc in London, by e-mail today. The program "should enable rational energy pricing, which will do much to help rein in the quasi-fiscal deficit in the energy sector."
Ukrainian Gas
Prime Minister Mykola Azarov initially aimed for a deficit target of 5.3 percent of GDP plus 1 percent to cover funds for state-run energy company NAK Naftogaz Ukrainy. The IMF said it wants Ukraine to reduce the budget deficit to 2.5 percent of GDP in 2012. Naftogaz's deficit should be "eliminated starting from 2011," according to the statement.
Resumed cooperation with the IMF opens the way for a European Commission loan estimated at 610 million euros ($792 million) and for an $800 million loan from the World Bank, Deputy Prime Minister Serhiy Tigipko said on July 7.
"Fiscal adjustment will start in 2010 and deepen in 2011-12, backed by robust structural reforms of the pension system, public administration, and the tax system," Lipsky said. Ukraine's gas industry "will be strengthened, including through domestic price hikes and broader reforms supported by other multilateral institutions, which will help eliminate energy subsidies and create a more modern and viable sector."
Market Strength
The benchmark UX stock index rose 70.13 points to 2093.85 today, the biggest increase since July 6. Ukraine's 6.58 percent bond maturing 2016 rose to 101.053, from 100.000 yesterday. Ukraine's credit default swaps fell 4 basis points to 514.5, according to data provider CMA.
The IMF action "will be moderately positive" for Ukraine's Eurobonds "as the approval of the stand-by program has been expected and the market has already accounted for this," Astrum Investment Management said today in a comment for clients.
The decision should cause a further decline in the cost of hedging against devaluation risk, Astrum said. This "should increase the appeal of the Ukrainian domestic bond market for non-residents," according to Astrum.
Tigipko said in March that Ukraine needed IMF support to bolster the economy, which shrank 15.1 percent in 2009, the biggest contraction since 1994. GDP expanded 4.9 percent in the first quarter, according to government figures.
Standard & Poor's said July 22 it may raise Ukraine's credit rating for a third time this year, boosting it to B+, after the government reaches agreement with the IMF.
"We expect Ukraine's sovereign increases should follow the IMF decision," Astrum Investments said today.

Arts Art That's Not All About Us
On Q13 Fox News yesterday, an anchor praised the life-sized salt sculptures that Michael Magrath placed in Occidental Square as eloquent commemorations of the "pain of 9/11," poignant memorials to the devastating losses Americans suffered that terrible day.
What a sickening crock.
Magrath made sculptures (see this week's Suggests) of suffering Iraqis, not suffering Americans, you Fox News jackasses.
His sculptures may be traditional in formthey are realistic, life-sized figuresbut their timing, appearing on the morning of Sept. 11, makes their message totally transgressive: Stop crying in your soup about what happened five years ago and start facing what your government did with your grief and anger, and what you let it do.
"Every day is 9-11 in Baghdad," Magrath told KING-5 news, the only outlet that really got it right.
You'd think this was obvious, even heavy-handed, but no.
Even the P-I whitewashed the project, with this weird paragraph that tiptoeingly turns fact into opinion: "Magrath said that although he believes that Iraq had nothing to do with the attacks on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001, Iraq is now linked to those attacks because our government 'used those attacks as a justification' for the war."
Um, he "believes" Iraq wasn't involved in Sept. 11? Yeah, crazy, silly Magrath. Everybody knows Iraq was … oh, wait.
And Magrath's assertion that Sept. 11 was a justification for the War on Terror, in which Iraq is the major theater, needs to be distanced from factand from the P-I's delicate sense of "objectivity"by being placed in quotes?
Wow, no wonder Magrath felt compelled to make this piece, and no wonder he had no trouble finding volunteers willing to work with him through long days and nights over months. No matter how obvious the manipulation gets, we'd rather distract ourselves with a few good old-fashioned photographs of the World Trade Center burning than consider the outrageous irresponsibility of the violence we continue to sponsor in the name of Sept. 11.
Magrath was none too pleased to hear Q13's description of his installation when I called him this morning. I'll just let him talk.
I don't know how to go about redressing that kind of misstatement. It's only about Sept. 11 in that the pain that people felt at the time (of 9/11) was directed in a really inappropriate way as some sort of futile revenge toward innocent people. Like saying, 'Oh, they're all Arabs, so it doesn't really matter.' And 'We're going to kick someone's ass,' which is pretty much a classic American response. It's very convenient (for a government that is hawkish) and has geopolitical strategic interest in that region. There's nothing wrong with wanting the oilthat's survivalbut the whole point of the sculptures was trying to draw a direct correlation that we would be re-inundated with images of people covered in ash walking down the street, and those would be super-powerful, people that we honestly feel great sympathy for, who are our fellow Americans, but we are not seeing the images of those people who are in exactly the same situation on a daily basis based upon our actions. It is about that blindness. (Sept. 11) has become sacred ground, and to me, that sacred ground is, I don't know how to say it, is dangerous, because it is too easily manipulated. And we need to understand that, yes, Sept. 11 was a massive tragedy, but to unleash that same tragedy on other people every day in a nation 6,000 miles awaythat's a crime. I don't know how else to point that out to people who aren't going to see that. It requires really admitting that you were wrong, that you were duped, and it's a very hard thing to do. I'm willing to bet we're going to scapegoat people up high, instead of saying, why didn't we have our eyes open? All of that is hard to get into a sculpture.
But Magrath did get it into a sculpture. And he got the sculpture installed publicly. And he spoke about it honestly. He did his job. We have to do ours: to think about what's in front of us, instead of our own convenient fantasies.
Because the pieces are made of salt, they will melt in the rain. They'll cry. When we think of them, if all we can think about is ourselves, then they're crying for us, because not only we are doomed, but we'll deserve whatever we get.
Magrath had an interesting proposition about what an appropriate response to Sept. 11 would be, so I'll just share:
We should have put a $1 billion reward on the head of Osama bin Laden, brought him in front of the world court, and tried him with evidence we had. Within three days, the world would have gotten down on its knees to us, and we would be the most powerful moral force in the world for the next decade. I hate to say it, but George Bush would have been a god. But instead, they responded with a kneejerk, who-can-we-kick response when this other way would have been such an obvious answer. It's such a Christian answer. To try someone and forgive him is the ultimate Christian answer, and a true Christian would have done that and truly stuck to his principles. Al Qaeda would have been isolated, would have shriveled on the vine. Since that's so obvious, why didn't they do it? Is there an interest perhaps in having an Al Qaeda and having Osama out there? And I think finally that's pretty credible when you start thinking about statecraft and how large populations are managed to do what we want.

As a Jets fan, this past Sunday's crushing victory over the Rams is a sweet tasting meal. But the Jets have had their share of crushing defeats as well. For example the Raiders a few weeks ago. The Patriots game was a close one too, only a three point loss.
With Brett Favre throwing great, and Thomas Jones running like there is no tomorrow, the Jets seem to be putting together all their weapons for a championship run. I'm sure Patriot fans are going to jump all over me and yell at me for saying this, but I don't care how much cheating coach Bill does, the fact of the matter is the Jets are the up and coming new team in the AFC East.
There is no way around it. The Jets will be a pain the Patriot's backs for the rest of the season, and maybe even for a few years to come. The fact that Tom Brady is out doesn't make me have sympathy for them. Reality is what reality is, so the fact is: Brady's out, Brett's in, and the Jets are starting to really fly high now.

Hayden, I thought exactly the same thing when I heard the news earlier this morning.ReplyDelete
David Garrett is a disgrace, makes me glad I didn't vote for ACT. The "liberal" Party indeed.ReplyDelete
The man is a buffoon and an idiot, and his views are 1950s reprehensible nonsense.
ACT made a huge mistake treating the more than capable Lindsay in the manner they did (and for this idiot). I would love to have seen Lindsay in Parliament, she could have been such an asset for the cause of freedom.ReplyDelete
I love to rag on Garrett as much as the next guy, but occasionally he does say things which aren't incredibly stupid and gets picked on by Labour et al.ReplyDelete
Once such instance is detailed in my blog post (shameless plug follows):
David Garrett: Racist?
Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

Romney Keeps His Attacks Muted
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa—While Mitt Romney's campaign and supporters have begun launching sharply negative attacks, Mr. Romney on Friday maintained his more muted approach to criticizing Newt Gingrich, his top rival for the Republican presidential nomination.
The tone of the election has turned harsh in recent days as Mr. Romney responds to Mr. Gingrich's surge in national opinion polls and in several states that vote early in the nominating process, including Iowa. Mr. Romney has the larger campaign account and staff, and Mr. Gingrich's rise has come as a surprise.
On Friday, Mr. Romney criticized Mr. Gingrich gingerly during a campaign event here. He directed most of his fire at President Barack Obama, but noted that Mr. Gingrich had initially criticized one of the centerpiece policy proposals of the newly elected House GOP majority, a plan to overhaul Medicare that was written by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
"This is a place where Speaker Gingrich and I disagree,'' Mr. Romney said.
Mr. Romney's muted posture may be tested Saturday night, when GOP candidates will appear at a debate in Des Moines, Iowa.
Politics Counts
Meanwhile, his campaign this week began running television ad in Iowa highlighting the candidate's 42-year marriage—a not-so-subtle contrast with the thrice-married Mr. Gingrich.
While Mr. Romney takes a muted tone in his personal appearances, sharper attacks are coming from his campaign and its supporters.
On Friday, the Romney camp released a series of criticisms of the former House speaker from people who had served in Congress with him. Among them were comments from former Rep. Susan Molinari (R., N.Y.), saying that Mr. Gingrich "has these visions of grandiosity,'' and from Sen. Richard Burr (R., N.C.), saying he has "the attention span of a one-year-old.''
An independent group supporting Mr. Romney, Restore Our Future, has reserved $3.1 million in TV airtime for ads ahead of the caucuses. A negative ad by the group targeting Mr. Gingrich was to begin airing on Friday night. In a version posted online Thursday, the narrator cites the money Mr. Gingrich was paid by mortgage giant Freddie Mac, the ethics violation he incurred as a congressman and a TV commercial he filmed with Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) to push Congress to approve climate-change legislation.
Mr. Gingrich and his campaign have ignored negative attacks in recent days, opting instead to direct most of their attacks at Mr. Obama.
Gingrich supporters held a conference call Friday evening to say that Iowa voters will sour on Mr. Romney and other candidates who campaign through attacks.
"This negativity is going to backfire," said Linda Upmeyer, an Iowa state representative supporting Mr. Gingrich. "What we're hearing from Mitt Romney in Boston is desperation and panic."
Mr. Gingrich held no campaign events Friday, after canceling a planned book-signing at a bookstore in Washington's Union Station. His campaign sent out a note from the bookseller saying the event was canceled due to security concerns.
Campaign surrogates in Iowa insist Mr. Romney retains a core of loyal supporters from his 2008 campaign, when he finished a distant second place in the caucuses. Mr. Romney built his career on turning around enterprises, said Iowa state Rep. Renee Schulte, an Iowa campaign co-chairwoman.
"Eastern Iowa's always liked him," Rep. Schulte said of Mr. Romney's supporters who have stuck with the candidate since 2008. "The same people that liked him then like him now. But they love Ann Romney," Mr. Romney's wife.
Other Republicans are also taking aim at Mr. Gingrich. Rep. Ron Paul (R., Texas) began broadcasting a 60-second spot earlier this month that criticizes the former House speaker. Texas Gov. Rick Perry has an ad up in the state criticizing both Messrs. Romney and Gingrich.
"If the headline out of Iowa says 'Results Inconclusive,' that's a victory for Mitt Romney," said Craig Robinson, who writes the Iowa Republican political blog. "But the only way that happens is if Paul wins, and it's close," he said.
Raynette Beatty, who is leaning toward supporting Mr. Romney, said he needs to make his case more decisively.
"He's got to come out a little stronger," she said. "I don't want to hear him attacking other Republicans. I just want him to come out and tell me how he's going to undo all of the horrible things this administration has put into place," she said, referring to the Obama White House.

"If you were hypothetically offered a role in 'Ghostbusters 3'," Hodgman posited, "… would you take the role? Let's say you're sort of the dissolute son of Egon, the Harold Ramis character, and you're kind of like John Candy in 'Splash'. You're kind of a mess. But it turns out that you're a natural ghost whisperer. A natural psychic. But here's the thing: Bill Murray's not going to be in this movie and will probably not be happy that you are. But you get to be in a major role in a major movie and in one of the greatest franchises of all time. Would you do it?"
Hodgman's comments match previous reports that the film would feature children of the original Ghostbusters characters (although that story only stated that Sigourney Weaver's character's son, Oscar, would appear). It also backs up Dan Aykroyd's recent comments that the film will move forward without Murray if he fails to commit.
Whatever the case may be, current statements from Aykroyd target a start date of early next year. Whether that means that we'll be seeing Hodgman or anyone else joining the cast should be revealed soon.
UPDATE: Hodgman has indicated on his Twitter feed that he will not appear in Ghostbusters 3 and that the suggestion that he still might was in jest. It remains unclear whether or not the hypothetical plot details he mentioned are entirely that.

2011 Fantasy Football: 8 Players Who Will Outperform their Average Draft Position
When you sit down at your computer or in your uncle's basement for your 2011 Fantasy Football draft, you will want to go into it with some kind of idea where players are being drafted and average draft position is our best chance to know that going in. There are plenty of ADP sites out there, such as Fantasy Football Calculator, ESPN, Yahoo, CBS, FF Toolbox, Draftmasters, MFL, and The Football Guys.
ADP has a lot of value, but it can be deceiving as well. You never know exactly who is going to "reach" for players and grab them before their ADP and you also don't know if you might be able to wait on someone and grab them a round after their ADP. But all in all, ADP allows you to gauge where they might go and helps you plan your draft strategy ahead of time. So let's take a look at some guys I like at or above their ADP right at this moment. For this exercise I'll be using The Football Guys aggregate ADP which I like the best.
Matt Forte: Currently his consensus ADP is 19th overall and 12th for running backs. He is coming into his prime unlike some of those in front of him in ADP, like Maurice Jones-Drew, Michael Turner, Frank Gore and Steven Jackson. Last season he had career highs in average yards per carry and yards per reception and now in the second season in Mad Martz's offense he should be relied on heavily. I love that he can be had in the second round and has a great chance of putting up first round numbers.
Jahvid Best: Currently his consensus ADP is 43rd overall and 20th for running backs. This number is currently going up after the loss of Mikel Leshoure so I'm not leshoure how far it will rise, but I like Best enough that I doubt it will get higher than my expectations. Best is a dynamic runner and receiver who was slowed down last season by two turf toe attacks. The Lions have the players to be a high scoring offense and a healthy Best will have many ways to gain yardage and TDs this season. His upside is through the roof.
Mark Ingram: Currently his consensus ADP is 50th overall and 22nd for running backs. Many of us were burned by a rookie running back last season. Gouge your eyes out if you want because here comes his name, Ryan Mathews! AAAAGGH!! And we are probably having some post drafting Mathews stress disorder as we head back up to that drafting board. Yes, we learned a lesson with Mathews, but we can't let it keep us from giving other rookie backs a try. 50th overall is around where I have Ingram, but I'm feeling better and better about him each day. Yes, the Saints have a ton of complimentary backs, but Ingram is the "bell cow" and goal line back on a high scoring offense. He's worth the rookie risk in the 4th/5th round.
Mike Wallace: Currently his consensus ADP is 25th overall and 8th for wide receivers. I love me some Mike Wallace. I mean for real. I'm not playing in the slightest! Last season we saw him have a huge second half and there is no reason to think he won't pick up from where he left off. His upside is top 3 in non-ppr leagues and getting him in the 2nd/3rd round is a steal.
Vincent Jackson: Currently his consensus ADP is 28th overall and 9th for wide receivers. I did just write about VJax in the guys I will be drafting whether you like it or not post, but his ADP in the third for non-PPR seems absurd. Third and absurd rhyme as well, so I have that going for me. There is nothing to not like about Jackson this season and another little added benefit is that he's playing for the cash monies and me thinks just maybe he likes money.
Mario Manningham: Currently his consensus ADP is 76th overall and 28th for wide receivers. When looking at these mid-round wide receivers and their ADP it was difficult to find one I didn't like at least a little bit. Being able to grab receivers like Manningham, Percy Harvin, Stevie Johnson, Austin Collie, and Mike Thomas from late in the 5th to early in the 8th makes it much easier to take risks on running backs early in the draft. So, yeah, I like those guys, but Manningham is high on my list of value targets this season. He has no competition for targets besides the elite Hakeem Nicks who will need double coverage. I see bright things in Mario's future.
Tony Romo: Currently his consensus ADP is 48th overall and 7th for quarterbacks. Is Romo an elite QB? No, I'm not going to say that. But I think as fans we get too wrapped up in the Manning/Brady debate and forget who the real fantasy QBs are. Romo is a fantasy QB. He was a top 5 fantasy QB in '07 and '09 and was hurt last season in what looked like another top 5 finish. Does Romo not being able to win the big game give your team less points? Don't think too long. And now he has one of the most talented receivers in the league in Dez Bryant, a top 10 receiver in Miles Austin, A top 5 TE in Jason Witten, and a good receiving back in Felix Jones. I'm taking Romo in the 4th round every single time.
Jermichael Finley: Currently his consensus ADP is 52nd overall and 4th for tight ends. He's my #1 tight end this season and even though I have been taking Owen Daniels who is going 75th overall in ADP, if I could get Finley that late I would be all over that and twice on Sundays. Finley is the second best receiver on the Packers and arguably the best and will see similar targets as Greg Jennings. He's the #1/2 receiver on a team with Aaron Rodgers as the QB. Take him and run.

Thanks for this!
I'm getting an error when I run it though
When I first run it, it returns my Music folder correctly, when I try open that music folder, it returns an error.

when you try it again can you also put http://192.168.1.40:8083/rest/getIndexes.view?p=password&c=xbmc&musicFolderId=0&u=user&f=json&v=1.5.0 in a browser an paste the result?
- t0mm0 - 2011-04-18 11:33
actually i think i fixed it - i take it you had just one folder in the music folder you were trying to browse?
if that's the case then i just released 0.1.1 to the repo and that should fix the problem.
let me know if it works!

I have a strange behavior here, files doesn't play and I sometimes get an error.

i have noticed that on some installs i have to use 'play using' and select dvd player when the settings are set to not use transcoding.
i have yet to find a way to force the player type while using IsPlayable/setResolvedUrl (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=99430) but i'm still looking into it.
so there are a couple of workarounds, use the config file as suggested in the above thread (not tried this myself), hit 'play using' and manually select dvd player, or turn on transcoding (if you set the bitrate high then it will only actually transcode if the files bitrate is above the rate you set)
sorry there is no better solution at the moment (if anyone has any ideas please let me know!)
- t0mm0 - 2011-04-20 00:39
version 0.2.0 is released (including xbox version) see first post for links
this version adds support for playing subsonic playlists, and generating random playlists by range of years and/or genre.
- aaronb - 2011-04-21 02:07
I'm getting "ERROR: CAudioDecoder: Unable to Init Codec while loading file" unless I tell it to play using DVD player. This is with transcoding turned on. Any ideas? I can post a full log if you need it, I'd have to clean passwords out of it first.

can you try it with the demo server (server: http://demo.subsonic.org, user: guest2, password: guest)?
that way we can rule out your server config and you won't have to clean passwords if posting logs.
- aaronb - 2011-04-21 05:31
It worked fine with the demo server. My server config is pretty much the default.
The full error:
22:19:53 T:7720 M:1814597632 ERROR: CAudioDecoder: Unable to Init Codec while loading file http://192.168.0.10:8082/rest/stream.view?p=password&c=xbmc&maxBitRate=128&u=user&f=json&v=1.5.0&id=483a5c4d757369635c546865205477696c696768742053696e676572735c44796e616d6974652053746570735c3034202d20476574204c75636b792028416c62756d292e6d7033
If I copy that url into my browser what looks like a flash player comes up, but nothing plays. I can see in the Subsonic log that it's trying to play it.

Hi t0mm0,
Just wanted to say i have installed your plugin in my linux based Dharma edition of xbmc and i have to say i love it so far. Everything is working fine and i really love the feature "create smart playlists". Nice work man. Thank you

I'm pretty sure I've never changed the transcode settings on the server. Here's a screenshot of my settings:

looks ok.
couple more questions....
what type of file is the original you are trying to stream (mp3, aac etc.)?
do any files stream?
and have you tried 'play using' and choosing dvd player - does that work?

A day after North Korea called for unconditional high-level dialogue with the United States, the Japanese government's top spokesman said Pyongyang should first show a willingness to discuss denuclearization.
"We do not speculate what North Korea's intentions are but any dialogue should lead to denuclearization, and North Korea should first show its sincere attitude toward denuclearization," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said during a press conference on Monday.
North Korea proposed in a statement Sunday that senior-level talks should be held between North Korea and the United States "to defuse tensions on the Korean Peninsula and ensure peace and security in the region."
The offer came a few days after North Korea abruptly cancelled planned talks with South Korea as the two sides failed to resolve differences over the level of chief delegates.
On Wednesday Japan, the United States and South Korea are scheduled to hold senior working-level talks in Washington to discuss issues pertaining to North Korea.
North Korea apparently aims to improve its ties with the United States through direct talks and to stabilize the regime under its leader Kim Jong Un. It conducted a de-facto long-range missile test in December and a third nuclear test in February.

This relates to a question asked here http://wordpress.org/support/topic/245516
At first we thought it was a issue with a slideshow plugin we added.
I am starting here this since it is related to the theme rather than the plugin.
A member provided the following analysis. Since we did not have the skill to find the problem. (see link above)
The problem is related to the z-index order. The part of the slideshow box that overlaps the dropdown menu is displaying with a higher z-index order than the dropdown menu, thus it gets priority and displays as the top layer where they overlap.
I have found a z-index hack for Safari in the .css sheet, it is set at "1" (thanks Jorn for the good commenting of the style sheet) when I change it to a higher number, the menu still does not come to the top and go over items added to the header or items in the sidebar.
I think this occurred on the 2.7 update. Running Dkret3 2.3 through 2.5.2 with 2.71 we have the problem.
Any ideas for a fix?

BAMAKO, Mali — Sixteen Muslim preachers from a moderate sect were shot dead in central Mali as they traveled by road to a religious conference, the Malian and Mauritanian governments said Sunday. Early reports indicate that the men's long beards aroused the suspicion of Mali's military, which confused them for the extremists who have taken over the nation's north.

SLO County IBC Presents PAWS
Director Sherry Ludwig sent this report from the San Luis Obispo Interbranch meeting.
With PAWS as its acronym, Pets Are Wonderful Support, the San Luis Obispo County IBC raised awareness and won the hearts of all who attended
the annual breakfast event held yesterday at the Madonna Inn. The ooo's and aw's could be heard throughout the room and I'm sure throughout the County as our special four-footed guests arrived.
While service dogs are individually trained to work with a person with a disability, therapy dogs are in the community performing a variety of tasks from helping children to read to comforting our seniors.
This informative and enjoyable event also served to highlight how each of the SLO County branches contribute to their communities and to AAUW CA!
