October 6, 2015
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - NATO says an alliance helicopter crew has killed more than 20 insurgents in southern Afghanistan after the men fired on the aircraft.
The statement says a group of fighters shot at the helicopter with small arms and machine guns before the crew returned fire.
It says a ground team found 20 bombs, firearms and several vehicles.
NATO says initial reports show there were no civilian casualties during Thursday's fighting in the Spin Boldak district of Kandahar province. The coalition tightened its rules of engagement last year after complaints its air raids frequently killed civilians instead of insurgents. Reports of civilian deaths caused by NATO have dropped by a third.
NATO and Afghan forces began pushing into the insurgency's heartland in southern Afghanistan in July.

Pentagram Postmodernism on View at the V&A
This fall the colors of autumn are a vibrant neon as the landmark exhibition Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970-1990 opens this weekend at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The first major survey of art, design and architecture of the 1970s and 1980s, the exhibition shows how Postmodernism developed from a provocative architectural movement to rapidly influence all areas of popular culture including art, film, music, graphics and fashion.
Pentagram's Paula Scher and Daniel Weil are represented in the exhibition with seminal works from early in their careers. Scher has three posters in the show: the Best of Jazz poster for CBS Records, her influential homage to Russian Constructivist typography (the poster is being reprinted in a limited edition for the exhibition); the 1981 Trust Elvis poster created for Elvis Costello at Columbia Records, later described in Bret Easton Ellis' era-defining novel Less Than Zero; and the iconic 1984 poster for a Swatch USA campaign inspired by the Swiss poster designs of Herbert Matter.
Daniel Weil is represented by his important Muralla China Radio from 2×4 Tango, a series of four radios designed in unusual shapes and materials. The radio is in the V&A's permanent collection.

At a star-studded dinner last night in the Crypt of St Paul's Cathedral, the London Design Medal was awarded to Ron Arad. The medal, which was designed five years ago by Domenic Lippa and his team, was presented by Ben Evans, Festival director. Previous recipients of the award have been Thomas Heatherwick, Zaha Hadid, Paul Smith and Marc Newson. At the presentation dinner, Arad said, "I can't imagine doing whatever it is I do anywhere else in the world."
Earlier in the evening, Thomas Heatherwick presented a Pentagram-designed special Lifetime Achievement Award to Vidal Sassoon.
New Work: London Design Festival 2011
The 2011 London Design Festival launched last night with an evening reception at the V&A previewing Textile Field by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec. The Festival is billed to be the largest and most significant yet and runs from 17 to 25 September.
For the fifth year running Domenic Lippa and his team have designed the Festival's identity which this year takes as its inspiration the phrase 'Design from all angles'. The range of items designed will ensure that this year's Festival is more visible than ever.
Pentagram Papers 41: WTC
Starting in 1978, Judith Turner began photographing the twin towers of the recently completed World Trade Center. Turner, whose iconic images helped to establish the reputations of the generation of postwar modernist architects that included Richard Meier, Charles Gwathmey and Peter Eisenman, was taken with the structural simplicity and abstract beauty of architect Minoru Yamasaki's masterwork. Turner returned to the World Trade Center repeatedly over the next decade, conducting a personal project to document the towers' elemental forms against the sky and in the surface reflections of surrounding buildings.
To mark the tenth anniversary of the destruction of the World Trade Center, 23 of these images have been published for the first time in Pentagram Papers 41: WTC. The suite of images is accompanied by a preface by legendary tightrope artist Philippe Petit. (On August 7, 1974, Petit walked a high wire illegally stretched between the twin towers, a feat chronicled in his book To Reach the Clouds, the basis of the 2008 Academy Award-winning documentary Man on Wire, as well as an upcoming feature film, The Walk.)
The Pentagram Papers series has been privately published since 1974 for the firm's friends and colleagues. For this special edition, a limited number of copies are available for $20 each, with all proceeds to be donated to the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Contact email@example.com for details.

999 Fonts in 60 Seconds
In Just My Type: A Book About Fonts, author Simon Garfield takes readers on a tour through all things typographic. The book, which received a rave this week from The New York Times, traces the development of typography through historic figures like Johannes Gutenberg, John Baskerville, Eric Gill and Jan Tschichold, while considering topics like legibility versus readability, the importance of typeface choice in political campaigns, the advent of digital type and corresponding explosion of new fonts, and what your favorite font says about you. (In the book, Garfield takes Pentagram's own "What Type Are You?" test. He is Archer Hairline.)
Pentagram's Naresh Ramchandani and Michael Bierut collaborated on the book's trailer, a montage that sends the "Just My Type" title pulsing through 999 different fonts (more or less) in a minute. The trip starts and ends in Archer, the font used on the book's US cover (designed by Roberto de Vicq de Clumptich), passing through much-loved fonts like Bodoni, Helvetica and Gotham, as well as ne'er-do-wells like Comic Sans, Papyrus and Arial. How many fonts can you spot?
Just My Type is out September 1 from Gotham Books. The book was originally published to acclaim in the UK last fall.
Project Team: Naresh Ramchandani, partner-in-charge and creative director; Michael Bierut, partner and designer; Katie Barcelona and Niko Skourtis, font compilers. Animation by Steven Qua.

Pentagram Turns 39
Founded in London in June 1972, Pentagram is celebrating its 39th birthday this summer. Our London office commemorated the occasion recently with a leisurely canal trip to London's Little Venice. As a souvenir of the day staff were treated to an edition of John Buchan's The 39 Steps with a custom cover design by Pentagram's Angus Hyland and Zara Moore.
In New York, Pentagram staff walked about 39 steps to their favorite urban oasis, Madison Square Park, for a lively evening of food and drink hosted by the park conservancy.

You are expected to ensure that your room and flat are returned at the end of your contract in good condition. You must make sure that all areas within the flat are cleaned thoroughly and that all rubbish and unwanted items are removed from the flat to avoid any charges being incurred. Damage to the flat or missing items will be charged for in accordance with the publicised charges in Reception. You must ensure that all outstanding invoices are settled prior to your departure. A final room and bedroom check will be completed at the end of your contract, you should arrange an appointment if you wish to be present when this takes place. Don't forget to return your laundry card to get your £5 refund!
How do I return my keys?
During office hours they should be returned to the Management Office. If you move out when the office is closed you should put your keys in an envelope with your name and room number clearly marked on it, and return them to the member of staff on duty.
Will I get a deposit returned to me?
Victoria Hall does not take deposits. All damages will be invoiced for after your departure.

|The Lynx
|HVS 5a
|55m, 2 pitches. Additional belay peg and 'new' blue tat placed 20/7/2010. Peg is a bit long so might get replaced with a shorter one at some point. Additional medium/small nuts useful for the belay as you'll probably have used the ones on your rack 'en-route' to it. Very good route, make sure you remember to reverse the last 10 feet of P1 to climb the overlap instead of going up direct from the belay.

Pastor Miles heading for Davison
May 07, 2014
Oxford is losing both a pastor and a government official.

Rev. Kevin Miles, pastor of the Oxford United Methodist Church (OUMC), is leaving in mid-June.
He's been reassigned to Davison.
"I wasn't anticipating a move," Miles said. "I kind of got blind-sided by a need in another church. Some health issues with another pastor kind of created a domino effect."
Miles, who came here with his wife Cathee from Trinity UMC in Roseville in June 2012, is definitely sorry to leave Oxford.
"It's been a very positive experience," he said. "I've enjoyed being here. We've really enjoyed the community, particularly the walking trails like the Polly Ann Trail. I'm really going to miss the friendliness of the people."
Based on what he's seen, Oxford residents generally want "to do things together" as opposed to "isolating" themselves, and they enjoy "pitching in and helping out when (they) need each other."
Miles said his experience in Oxford has taught him "the importance of not being complacent as a church and even as a community."
"If we get too settled in, we can become complacent and overlook the needs around us," he said. "It's easy to get kind of cozy and feel comfortable in a setting like this and that's not really a healthy place to be if you want to respond to the needs of the community."
That's why during his time at OUMC, Miles tried to emphasize to his congregation the importance of increasing the church's involvement in the community.
"We need to make ourselves available to the needs around us," he said. "That's the big thing for me."
His own community involvement extended beyond the church walls. In October 2013, he was appointed to a seat on the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) board, a position he resigned April 21.
"I've enjoyed being part of the DDA board even though I felt like I was in over my head at the beginning," he said. "Now that I've kind of gotten my feet wet in local politics, I'm understanding things a little bit more."
Miles, who's spent 23 years in the ministry, is going to miss being part of Oxford's Lone Ranger celebration.
"I think that's a good way for the community to connect with one another," he said.
He's also going to miss the weekly Free Meals program of which OUMC is an integral part. Every Wednesday between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m., an average of 35 to 50 hungry folks come to the church to enjoy a free dinner and some good company.
"That was a real highlight for me," said Miles, who volunteered at the meals. "It allowed me to connect with people that wouldn't otherwise come to the church and become good friends with them. I'm going to miss that connection."
Miles is sorry he won't be here to expand his personal involvement in Love In the Name of Christ (Love INC) of North Oakland County, a nonprofit cooperative effort that links churches, volunteers and service agencies and helps them organize their efforts by reaching out to folks in need.
"One of the things I think is exciting about (Love INC) is that they are really focusing on the transitional aspect of their ministry, so that it's not just a Band-Aid, it's a long-term strategy to help people create a new path for hope and vitality in their lives," he said.
Miles has the distinction of having been OUMC's pastor when it celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2012.
"I felt that I was sort of standing on the shoulders, if you will, of a long line of not just pastors, but lay leaders in that congregation," he said. "It's mind-boggling when you think about 175 years. That's quite a track record."
"We're trying to build on that heritage and make it a much more vibrant, strong and healthy congregation," Miles continued. "We've hit some bumps in the road along the way and I was hoping to be here a lot longer to set some direction . . . but (a 175-year history) is a great place to start and build on."
Miles noted that Oxford is blessed to have so many small churches like OUMC.
"There's really a need for the smaller, local church communities," he said. "I'm not picking on anybody or throwing rocks at anybody . . . but I think the big-box churches, as they're sometimes referred to, just can't (achieve) the level of personal contact and comfort that people need."
Davison will be Miles' last assignment.
After that, he plans to retire.
"I was hoping to retire from Oxford," he said. "I told the conference leaders if they plan on moving me from Davison, it will be to my retirement place."

After a widely publicised hack or data breach, you'll often find "password check" sites springing up.
Some of them are legitimate, asking only for your email address and checking it against a list of known data dumps.
→ Dumps are the files that typically circulate on the Underweb after a hack, containing as much or as little personally identifiable information (PII) as the thief cares to share; legitimate password check sites collect these to build a list of probably-hacked email addresses.
But other "password check" sites are as bogus as they sound on the surface.
They ask you to type in your login details, either into a clone of a regular site's login page, or into a nicely-worded "you can trust us, honest, guv" page of their own.
That sounds like phishing, doesn't it?
And the reason it sounds like phishing is that it IS phishing!
So, if you don't know how to recognise legitimate password check sites, assume that they are all bogus, and simply stay away.
Having said that, here's a password check site which has a sense of humour, as well as teaching a handy lesson.
In the aftermath of the recent Associated Press Twitter hack, and of the Twitter attacks claimed by SEA, the Syrian Electronic Army, it's not surprising to see a site named ismytwitterpasswordsecure dot com.
It was created by New York based web developer Alastair Coote, and it looks fairly straightforward:
You ought to spot the satirical comments that give you a hint that this is not your ordinary password checker, such as the warning that the recent AP hack was able to:
compel dozens of blogs to write breathless posts about the future of online journalism.
You wouldn't type a real password or even a user name in there, would you?
You wouldn't login to Twitter from a cloned login form on a completely different site, as should be obvious from the address bar, would you?
Who knows where your password will end up, except that it will probably be somewhere bad?
So, if you start to enter anything at all on this web page, you get Coote's unreconstructed warning:
Do you see "twitter.com" in the address bar? No, you don't. Don't ever type your login and password to Twitter on a site that isn't twitter.com. Same with Facebook. And LinkedIn. I guess what I'm trying to say here is, don't be an idiot.
Short, sweet, and clear.
- Don't click login links in emails.
- Check the address bar.
- And watch out for the HTTPS (secure HTTP) padlock in the address bar whenever you are entering PII of any sort, from passwords to account numbers.
Nicely done, Mr Coote: a fake fake site!

Lyrics to "Life's Been Good to Me So Far", sung by Joe Walsh on the movie soundtrack FM. Definitely a mood lifter with its humor.
Love the whole thing, but if I had to pick just one verse it'd be:
They say I'm lazy but it takes all my time
(Everybody say oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
I keep on going, guess I'll never know why
Life's been good to me so far, yeah, yeah, yeah

From the book, The Elegance of the Hedgehog . . .
"an elsewhere that had come to us, an always within never"

I would love to actually read what mix tape has to offer. I've seen sneak peeks on its website, and it looks lovely so far.
My favourite song lyrics is from "Backyard" from Natasha Bedingfield:
"It's been too long, don't think I've seen you smile at me for quite awhile. We're so busy doing things, we haven't noticed what's missing"
For me, it's about realising that we should take a breather once in a while and always appreciate those around you. :)

This was not an easy task, but it was fun. I enjoyed thinking about my all time favorite songs and their lyrics. But the one I had to choose is "I sing the Body Electric" from the 1980's tv show Fame. Both because it is Graduation Season and becuase the title is from a Walt Whitman poem.
"I sing the body electric
I celebrate the me yet to come
I toast to my own reunion
When I become one with the sun "
If you are nostalgic for the 80's you can see the video here:

Just thinking about these lyrics gives me shivers down my spine.
"Been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around"
James Taylor – Fire And Rain
Also, my eyes always go a little misty when I here these lines from Memphis Tennessee by Chuck Berry:
"Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye"
- 17 June 1, 2009 at 9:04 am
I dearly love Elvis Costello, one of my favorite lines is from "Shabby Doll" on the album Imperial Bedroom: "There's a girl in distress, there's always a girl in this dress…"

This is really hard, but I think I'm going to go with The Magnetic Fields "100,000 Fireflies": "Why do we keep shrieking when we mean soft things? We should be whispering all the time." Stephin Merritt, you slay me with your lyrics.
- 19 June 1, 2009 at 10:00 am
I think my all-time favorite lyrics come from the Boss — Thunder Road, of course. Though all of Springsteen's songs are lyrically masterful (he is THE BOSS)!! :)
"There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away.
They haunt this dusty beach town in the skeleton frames of burnt out chevrolets.
They scream your name at night in the streets — your graduation gown lies in rags at your feet…"
So so beautiful!

GooGoo Dolls, Name:
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
I like these lyrics because so many of us have this sort of past/childhood that is defined by the shows we watched and the music we listened to more than the people we knew or the things we did. It's sad in a way.

theme from "enterprise," "Faith of the Heart"
sounds better with music, but it touches something within me.
Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart
will take me.
I've got faith to believe.
I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul.
And no one's going to bend
or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith,
I've got faith,
Faith of the heart.

It is very hard to pick favorite lyrics or lines!
I just read The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, and the preface is wonderful. My favorite lines from that are:
"Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope.
They are the elect who whom beautiful things mean only Beauty."

'Men have forgotten this truth,' said the fox. 'But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.'

"Say whatever you have to say,
I'll stand by you.
And do whatever you have to do,
To get it out and not become,
A reactionary to hurt the ones you love.
You know you never meant to but you did,
(Oh yeah yeah).
And be whoever you have to be,
I won't judge you.
And sing whatever you have to sing,
To get it out and not become,
A recluse about your house come out.
I know you never meant to but you did,
(Oh) but you did.
Still I need your sway,
'Cause you always pay for it.
And I and I need your soul,
'Cause you're always soulful.
And I and I need your heart,
'Cause you're always in the right places.
And take whatever you have to take,
You know I love you."
Twisted, needy love song Sway by the Kooks, that has caught me in its grasp and will not let me go.

my favorite is from Everlong by the Foo Fighters: "Breathe out, so I can breathe you in….Hold you in".

The short-handed Oklahoma City Barons became a little thinner Monday, when the Edmonton Oilers called up defenseman Taylor Fedun. He is the ninth player recalled by the Oilers since the end of the NHL lockout a week ago. Edmonton is in a week-long training camp; the Oilers' season begins Sunday against the Vancouver Canucks.
Oklahoma scene: Barons lose ninth player to Edmonton Oilers
Fedun participated in the Oilers training camp last season but suffered a season-ending broken leg during a preseason game. In 35 games this season with the Barons, Fedun has scored nine points, including two goals.
Before joining the Oilers organization Fedun played four seasons at Princeton, serving as team captain his final season. He scored 68 points in 127 games at Princeton.
Edmonton now has 26 players in camp but must cut the roster to 23 before opening the regular season Sunday at Vancouver.
East Central University men's head basketball coach Mac McConnell has been suspended, pending an investigation, according to athletic director Jeff Williams.
McConnell was cited and arrested for allegedly driving under the influence early Sunday morning in Ada.

SAN DIEGO - A throng of media waited outside a courthouse for a legal battle pitting a decorated Olympic athlete against a former Camp Pendleton Marine and hero firefighter.
First, Sara McKenna walked into a New York courtroom. Soon after, it was Olympic athlete Bode Miller, his wife and the 9-month-old boy at the center of the dispute.
McKenna, who served at Camp Pendleton for four years, met Miller in San Diego through a matchmaking service while he was living on a 100-foot yacht docked at a local marina.
The two broke up after a few months, but McKenna was pregnant.
McKenna claims Miller asked her to get an abortion. She says she refused and claims Miller texted her the following: "I'm not sure. I'm not going to do this with u Sara. U made this choice against my wish and gave me no say. You are going to do this on your own."
Believing she was on her own, McKenna says she made a tough decision. At the time, she was working as a civilian firefighter at Camp Pendleton. In 2011, she earned a Defense Department Hero of the Year award for running into a burning home.
"My only option was to quit working 72 hours a week at a very dangerous job," said McKenna during a CNN interview in June.
She accepted a law scholarship to Columbia University.
By that time, Miller had decided to pursue custody. A New York judge granted Miller custody, saying McKenna only moved to New York because the laws there favored her.
An appellate court recently overturned the decision, leading to a nationwide debate on the rights of pregnant women and their right to move.
McKenna returned to court Monday, asking for full custody of her son.
Nothing was decided on Monday. Another court date has been set for Dec. 9.
Also disputed is the boy's name. Miller calls him Nate. McKenna calls him Sam.
Amid this media circus, there is a chorus of critics who worry this could become a distraction for Miller, who is training for the Olympics in February.

"GLOW" is a song about how people destroy the Earth by being careless about their actions. It also talks about different things that happen in this Earth, for example the lyrics " But you left me burning hot, so hot I can barely breath." Talks about Global Warming and how nobody is really helping to make Global Warming go away. Also the lyrics "You said your gonna, fix it but you didn't." Talks about how people always say their going to help the environment but they never do. The song comes from the perspective of Mother Nature and how she struggles to survive when nobody cares if she's alive. This music video highlights the environmental issues facing our local community and how one group of young musicians are raising awareness.
The "Divercity Band" features vocals by, Ashley Aceto, Angelina Botticeli, and Jesenia Rodriguez. Guitars by Christina Ochoa and Keisha Augustin. Piano and keyboard by Jackie Ochoa and Angelica Diaz. Bass by J.D. Vincent and Drums by Wilson Ochoa. Video, Audio, and Editing engineering by Tris and Sara Coffin, Joe Ziemba, and Derek Kerins. Lastly conducting by Tris Coffin and Leo Colon.

Racing Around the U
Gopher Adventure Race
Sharon Moe, Goldy, and Peter Moe.
Freshman Sharon Moe found out about the Gopher Adventure Race from a flyer in Coffman Union.
"I really wanted to do it with someone in my family because we all enjoy The Amazing Race TV show and we are an outdoor kind of family," she says.
"But everybody had a conflict," says her dad, Peter Moe (M.Ag. '82, CFANS), with a laugh. "I was her last choice."
Father and daughter got a bigger workout than they expected.
"One minute you're playing wheelchair basketball, and the next you're figuring out Greek letters on fraternity row," says Peter.
"I loved rappelling down the Armory, looking for plants in the garden, and portaging the canoes," says Sharon. "I thought it was funny that my dad had helped plant the garden and already knew the common and scientific names of almost all the plants. We passed a lot of people because of that!"
Peter Moe is now operations director at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The Moes won in the category for alumni 10+ years since earning a degree.
School of Kinesiology faculty members
Jennifer Bhalla and Nicole LaVoi.
The race is organized by a team of students and volunteers led by Connie Magnuson, director of the B.S. program in recreation, park, and leisure studies in the School of Kinesiology. This year, 96 student staff got hands-on field experience in creating courses, marketing, and acquiring sponsors.
Second-year medical students Tracey Powell and Beth Tacl finished first overall, completing the race in 4 hours, 16 minutes. School of Kinesiology faculty members Jennifer Bhalla and Nicole LaVoi won in the faculty category.
Sharon Moe—a pre-nursing student in the College of Liberal Arts—says she'll definitely participate in the Gopher Adventure Race again next year. She would like to get her brother, a recent U grad, to try it. "But if that doesn't work out, I'm sure my dad wouldn't mind doing it again, either," she adds. "I underestimated how fit he was. We truly made a great team."
Watch for early-bird registration this spring for the fall 2012 race.

Windows 7's evolution compared to Windows Vista is undeniable, and the lucky few that so far have had access to the RTM bits of the latest Windows client can confirm this. But fact of the matter is that even in Beta Build 7000 development stage, Windows 7 bested Vista, and the boot time performance drag race is an illustrative example in this regard. However, Windows 7 startup speeds manage to leave its precursor in the dust. Some of you might remember reading about the 11-second boot Windows 7 delivered in a demonstration courtesy of Ruston Panabaker, Microsoft's principal program manager of strategic silicon partnering. (via PCMag and Beyond Binary)
Yes, Windows 7 booting in just 11 seconds. My first question was, what kind of computer was Panabaker running, for obvious, and geeky, reasons. So I went ahead, and shot an email to Microsoft asking for details about the hardware configuration of the 11-second Windows 7 boot machine. Here is the answer a company spokesperson provided me: "This was ran on a Quad-core 1.7 GHz Nehalem [Core i7] processor on a Calpella chipset, 2GB of memory, 80 GB Intel X25-M SSD (1st gen). In the set up, the log-in screen was turned off in the user control panel."
However, the Microsoft representative noted that the 11-second boot represented just the startup time for Windows 7. "Note: BIOS post is in addition to this," the company spokesperson added. My second question was what kind of optimizations went into making this kind of performance possible. The way I figured it, if I have the hardware configuration, and know about the tweaks, maybe I can do it myself. But guess what?
Yes, it's all Windows 7, and nothing but Windows 7. "Nothing else special was done to create the 11 second boot time for Windows to the desktop," the Microsoft spokesperson shared with me. As some of you might recall, Microsoft revealed early on in the development process of its latest Windows client the fact that it had revamped the way that the platform dealt with services. In Vista and previous releases of Windows, every service that is scheduled to start during operating system startup adds precious time to the overall experience.
In Windows 7 this is no longer the case. Vista's successor features a mechanism that only starts services on demand. Essentially, Windows 7 contains the Trigger Start Services feature and delivers the evolution of the service control manager (SCM), reducing the number of services using Automatic Start, and taking a load off RAM and I/O.
My next question was related to the work end users need to do to achieve similar, and I stress similar, performance with their own computers. "Users should train Windows on what to pre-fetch during boot. This can be done by rebooting their PC several times," the Microsoft spokesperson said.

While much of America remains mired in a recession, Goldman Sachs is booming. The investment bank just paid back the $10 billion loan it took from the federal government last year and today Goldman is expected to announce a $2 billion dollar profit in its second quarter earnings report. How did Goldman go from bust to boom so quickly? Joining The Takeaway with their analysis are Matt Taibbi, a contributing editor to Rolling Stone, who wrote a scathing article on Goldman's practices, and Graham Bowley, a financial reporter for The New York Times. Graham's article on Goldman's expected earnings set off a market buying frenzy.
For more, read Matt Taibbi's article Inside the Great American Bubble Machine, in Rolling Stone. Also, read Graham Bowley's article, For Goldman, a Swift Return to Lofty Profits, in The New York Times.
"The entire Wall Street knows that this bank isn't going to go under because the government just isn't going to allow it."
—Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone on the high earnings of Goldman Sachs
Yesterday was the first day of Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearings. Today the senators will get their chance to challenge the nominee on her rulings, speeches, and judicial philosophy. The Takeaway's Washington Correspondent Todd Zwillich joins us with a look at the highlights.
If you missed Sonia Sotomayor's opening statement, here it is:
The Takeaway previews Major League Baseball's All-Star game with Takeaway sports contributor Ibrahim Abdul-Matin. The game in St. Louis tonight sees the National League trying to beat the American League for the first time in 13 years. President Barack Obama will be throwing out the first ball before joining former Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter in a video address to be aired during the pre-game ceremony.
Yesterday the Senate Judiciary Committee kicked off the confirmation hearings for Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Republican members of the Senate judiciary committee cautioned that Sotomayor could be an "activist judge," prone to favor minority groups; Democrats emphasized her American dream credentials. Today, Senate Judiciary Committee members will likely grill her on judicial decisions. Joining us for a recap of yesterday's events and a look ahead is Jeffrey Rosen. He is a Professor of Law at George Washington University, and legal affairs editor for The New Republic. He's also the author of The Supreme Court: The Personalities and Rivalries That Defined America.
The Takeaway checks in on Sonia Sotomayor's old stomping ground: the Bronx. Joining the conversation are Mary McKinney, founder of the Concerned Residents Organization in the Soundview section of the Bronx; Agnes Rivera, with Community Voices Heard, a low-income public housing campaign; and Orlando Plaza, owner of Camaradas del Barrio restaurant in East Harlem.
Today, Goldman Sachs announced massive profits from the second quarter— $3.4 billion dollars. But as they announced the good news, they had to brace themselves to deal with some inevitable public outrage. How can Goldman avoid a public relations nightmare? The Takeaway is joined by Jonathan Bernstein, President of Bernstein Crisis Management, Inc.
"It's a choice: does Goldman Sachs want to be known as successful and arrogant about it or successful and humble? Humble is a lot smarter because their continued success is not guaranteed, and their former arrogance can come back and bite them."
—Jonathan Bernstein, professional crisis manager, on how the banking giant should behave in the face of its record profit
Throughout the last century, the struggle of the civil rights movement has been documented in photos, speeches, poems and paintings. Paul Miller, a.k.a. DJ Spooky, mixed clips from the long history of the civil rights movement and created a digital media collage that was commissioned specifically for the NAACP's centennial. It's called, "Winds of Change: A Composition and Homage to the NAACP on 100 Years of Change." The Takeaway talks to DJ Spooky about his work.
The financial markets were in a frenzy yesterday after rumors started circulating about Goldman Sachs' earnings. Most analysts were expecting a record $2 billion in second quarter profits from the investment bank. Now the numbers are out and Goldman's profits are even bigger than expected: $3.44 billion dollars profit from March through June. Ed Welsch, a markets reporter for the Dow Jones Newswire, joins The Takeaway with more on this story.
As the U.S. military continues its operation in Afghanistan's Helmand province to flush out the Taliban and eradicate the area's opium trade, we check in with the troops. Brigadier-General Eric Tremblay of the International Security Assistance Force is watching over the 4,000 Marines there. He joins The Takeaway to talk about progress, casualties, and to provide an overall update on the security situation in Afghanistan. Also joining the conversation is Retired Lieutenant Colonel John Nagl. He's the President of the Center for a New American Security a national security think-tank in Washington, DC.

Goldman Sachs has just released their earnings report showing that they made a jaw-dropping $3.4 billion profit from March through June. How are they doing it while the rest of the nation is facing bleak economic times? And what do record profits mean for the employees of Goldman? Graham Bowley, financial reporter for The New York Times, joins us for a closer look at the numbers.
Analysts were expecting Goldman Sachs to post around $2 billion in profit in their second quarter. But when the numbers were released they surprised everyone with a profit of $3.4 billion. If Goldman Sachs is doing so well, does this mean America is on its way out of the recession? Dan Gross, columnist for Newsweek and Slate, and author of Dumb Money: How Our Greatest Financial Minds Bankrupted the Nation joins The Takeaway with his analysis of the financial news.

|What's in a guitar cabinet? Good question isn't it? After all, cabinets are cabinets aren't they? Not exactly. If you desire the best in your equipment you'll need to do a little research. What makes one guitar cabinet sound better than the other? What is the difference in materials used in their construction? Let's take a look at what goes into a standard Johnson loudspeaker enclosure.
Void Free Woods. As the statement implies, these are woods that are free of voids. Voids are open areas that reside in "inexpensive" plywood boxes. These are the football shaped cutouts used by the manufacturers to punch out knots in the wood. If you buy a cheap box made from cheap wood you'll run the risk of voids. Big deal? Yes. Your cabinet will rattle, especially at higher volumes. There's no fix for this. Every Johnson cabinet is made to exacting specifications from totally void free woods.
13-Ply Baltic Birch baffle boards. The baffle board is the "sounding board" for your cabinet, very similar to the "top" on an acoustic guitar. This is the board your speaker(s) is mounted to. This board has to be strong; strong enough to handle everyday use with a very heavy loudspeaker bolted to it. Baltic Birch is a much-used term however; do we know what it really is? A "Baltic" birch tree comes from the "Baltic" region of Russia. Being a colder climate the trees grow much slower there. When the trees grow slower they grow stronger with much tighter grain. This produces a very strong wood that is generally free of voids (see above.) Be a cautious consumer. There are many cabinets out there that use MDF baffle boards. While MDF is an excellent wood for cabinet construction it should "never" be used for your baffle board. This is a big no-no in guitarland. Your speaker will eventually pull away and break through the baffle board. Insist on 13-ply "Baltic Birch" baffle boards otherwise you may have a dysfunctional amp or cabinet you can do nothing with.
Uni-Vinyl Covering. Standard "Tolex" vinyl amp and cabinet covering can rip, peel and be a general mess to deal with leaving you with a old worn out looking amp. Meant to be a durable covering for most situations, "Tolex" has been the generally accepted standard in guitar amp coverings. The Tolex vinyl cover has a very unique sound so other alternative coverings had be chosen carefully. Instead of gluing a vinyl material to the amp or cabinet, which leaves seams and cuts that can rip and tear, why not simply spray the vinyl coating directly on to the box? This was the question that went into making the finest guitar amps and cabinets in the world. The result? Johnson's unique "Uni-Vinyl" coating that covers each and every one of our amps and cabinets.
Hand Tuning. Every Johnson amplifier and cabinet goes through a very personal process of being "hand-tuned". Every speaker has it's own personality. You can actually play them like a drum. Some will have a higher pitch while others have a lower pitch. All Johnson speakers are "hand-tuned" and matched in the assembly process. If "god is in the details" then these are some very heavenly cabinets. It's the little details like this that give every Johnson combo the low-end punch and every 4x12 cabinet the smoothness that can't be matched.
All cabinets are not created equal sorry.

Business of Seanad.
Wednesday, 31 March 1999
Seanad Éireann Debate
An Cathaoirleach: I have notice from Senator Costello that, on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today, he proposes to raise the following matter:
The need for the Minister for Education and Science to confirm his commitment to provide an all-Irish second level school in north-east Dublin by the beginning of the 1999 school year.
I have also received notice from Senator Glynn of the following matter:
The need for the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment to report on progress regarding the provision of replacement industry or industries at the Tarkett factory, Clonmore Industrial Estate, Mullingar.
I regard the matter raised by Senator Costello as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and it will be taken at the conclusion of business. I regret to say that Senator Glynn's matter is one for the IDA itself and, consequently, is not in order for discussion on the Adjournment.

I've managed to get the system running, but I have some questions about btrfs. It seems so different from anything I've tried so far. :scratch: Subvolumes: I am confused. With filesystems like ext4 you had to create a new partition on the HDD, format it with mkfs.ext4, and mount it by using appropriate entries in fstab.
