BMI View: Proposals to create a new 'BRICS' bank capable of rivalling the World Bank and IMF could potentially be a game-changer in the global economy, at least over the long term. However, there are significant obstacles to creating and managing such an entity in the near term.
As the leaders of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) nations meet in Durban for their annual summit, proposals have emerged for the creation of a new development bank to rival the World Bank, and possibly even the IMF. If the new BRICS bank were to come into existence, it could have far reaching cons eq uences for the global economy, b ecause it would mean that there would be a real alternative to the Western-dominated World Bank and IMF. This alternative anchor would further reinforce the notion that global wealth and power is shifting east and south.
The Rationale For A 'BRICS Bank'
There are three main factors driving the creation of a ' BRICS Bank ' .
Firstly, the world's leading financial institutions, the World Bank and IMF, remain dominated by Western countries, i.e., the US and Europe. The so-called Bret t on Woods institutions were created in 1944, before the end of World War II, and many feel that their leadership and decision-making powers clearly do not reflect the contemporary global economy, in which China, Brazil, Russia, India , and South Africa are now much bigger players.
Secondly, the BRICS nations are in a position to afford to be able to create such a bank. They have a combined US$4.4trn worth of foreign currency reserves, of which China has US$3.3trn. During the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 , Brazil actually contributed US$10bn to the IMF, rather than the other way round. The BRICS countries are also arguably much more financially experienced than ever before, with India, Brazil, and Russia having overcome severe financial crises in the 1990s and come under relatively prudent management . As emerging nations, the BRICS may also feel that they are better placed than the US and Europe to understand the challenges and nee ds of other developing countries.
Thirdly, the BRICS states are becoming increasingly assertive, politically, with all five acting as major economic and geopolitical powers in their respective regions. Furthermore, the BRICS countries reflect every continent in the world except North America, and perceive themselves collectively to represent the 'global south'.
What Would 'BRICS Bank' Look Like?
At the time of writing, it is unclear whether other developing countries would be allowed to participate in 'BRICS Bank', but we assume that this would be the case , for otherwise the scope of the new lender would be too limited . The proposals indicate that 'BRICS Bank' would mainly be focused on infrastructure development, which is a key priority of Brazil and India in particular, as well as other developing nations. China reportedly favours initiating the bank with US$100bn in capital, whereas India is said to favour US$50bn, which would dovetail with Russia's suggestion that each founding member should contribute US$10bn.
In addition, there are discussions about creating a pool of foreign currency reserves for the purposes of rescuing countries in financial crisis. This could potentially be modelled on the Chiang Mai Initiative, which consists of China, Japan, South Korea, and 10 Southeast Asian countries and has access to US$240bn of emergency funds.
There are major question marks surrounding the conditions under which 'BRICS Bank' would lend to other countries. The World Bank and IMF typically lends through a range of conditions, such a s a commitment from the borrower to public spending cuts, greater transparency, reduced corruption, and free market reforms. It is unclear if 'BRICS Bank' would impose such stringent conditions. If 'BRICS Bank' were to be more casual in its terms of lending, then it could emerge as a more attractive option than the World Bank and IMF, raising questions about their raison d'etre. The decline of Western financial influence would mean reduced political influence.
Potential Obstacles To Management Of ' BRICS Bank '
Although the BRICS nations clearly want to see global financial institutions that reflect their rising power, there are significant obstacles to the creation and smooth running of 'BRICS Bank'. Chief among these is the issue of which country gets the biggest say in its decision-making.
Geopolitics: China , Russia, and India are all geopolitical competitors. China and Russia are competing for influence in Central Asia and the Far East; India and China are rivals in Southeast Asia, the Himalayan region, the Indian Ocean, and also Africa. All three regard themselves as emerging or re-emerging world powers and would thus want to exert a big a sway as possible in 'BRICS Bank'. As the richest and most powerful member, China would be its natural leader, but any attempt by Beijing to dominate the lender would cause resentment in Moscow and New Delhi. This could paralyse the new bank in a time of crisis.
Divergent economic interests: The BRICS group is economically incoherent to say the least, and this will affect their priorities. Brazil and Russia are already middle-income, highly urbanised economies, whereas China and India are still low-income countries that have massive rural populations. This means they have differing development challenges. Meanwhile, Brazil, Russia, and South Africa are big commodity exporters, whereas China and India are major importers. In addition, the original four BRIC countries are all competing against one another economically. For example, China's demand for Brazilian commodities is leading to fears in Brazil of a dependency relationship and concerns that Brazilian manufactured goods will be outcompeted by China. Furthermore, in demographic terms China and India stand out with more than a billion people each, whereas Brazil and Russia have less than 200mn people. Brazil, India, and South Africa are all 'young' countries, whereas China and Russia are ageing rapidly. Finally, South Africa, due to its smaller population and economy, doesn't rank as highly as the other BRIC states, which are all in the top 10 world's biggest economies.
Lack of ideological coherence: China and Russia are both quite state-directed economies, whereas India has moved away from this model and Brazil has been more laissez-faire than the other four BRICS for many years. Politically, Brazil and India are both vibrant democracies, whereas Russia, China, and South Africa are de facto or de jure one-party states. This lack of ideological coherence will also affect 'BRICS Bank's' world view. Furthermore, even if 'BRICS Bank' were to become fully operational, China and Russia could still pursue unilateral assistance to other countries outside the framework of the new lender.
US can undermine 'BRICS Bank': After the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis, Japan attempted to establish an 'Asian Monetary Fund', but was thwarted from doing so by the US, which wanted the IMF to remain the dominant global crisis-beating institution. Now, as momentum for 'BRICS Bank' builds, Washington can still exert influence on the BRICS states, because all or most of them probably still value their relationship with the US above their ties with fellow BRICS states - although this may eventually change.
Global Problems Require Global Solutions
With the world increasingly interconnected, as evidenced by the severity of the 2008-2009 crisis, the smooth functioning of the global economy will require coordination by the major economies. This is evident from the way that the G-20 has come to supersede the G-7 or G-8. Thus, if 'BRICS Bank' does come into existence, it would be unlikely to work unassisted. The World Bank and IMF have decades of experience behind them, and would still serve a purpose.

Facebook is Removing Posts by Singaporean Activists
When can Facebook take down your post?
Five days ago (July 4), Ms Teo Soh Lung – an activist and former ISA detainee – had her post "Police Terror" removed "for violating community standards", according to freelance journalist Kirsten Han. Shortly after (July 7), Ms Han herself received a notice that her post – in support of Ms Teo and a reproduction of "Police Terror" – had been taken down for the same reason. This sparked a ban on her posting for 24 hours. In late June (June 23), blogger Andrew Loh had his post about violations of Cooling-Off Day rules taken down by Facebook – but in his case, Facebook restored the post and issued him an apology just three days later (June 26).

California With The Death Penalty
The nicer a place Singapore becomes, the more it is flooded with outside capital and migration. That raises the cost of land and thus rents and home prices. Imagine if I didn't own a home and suddenly Fairfax, VA became like Beverly Hills or Palo Alto. I would have to pay more, but wouldn't benefit much from the proximity of the movie stars or the tech titans.
The political reaction is to make Singapore an even nicer place to live, which is what you would expect from a competent government. That's great, but in some ways it makes the underlying problem worse by attracting additional foreign capital and labor. The city becomes more Westernized and more corporate and land values rise all the more.A simple theory of Singaporean complaints.

Development without democracy? Lee Kuan Yew's lifetime legacy to the world is the living breathing heart of Asian Tigerdom. Singapore's first (and some say only) Prime Minister led this tiny island city state from third world fishing village in one of Britannia's key ports on a major global shipping line to one of the world's richest nations and recognized as "developed". Few CEOs can claim a better track record. Lee Kuan Yew breathed his last on 23rd March 2015, just months before Singapore was to celebrate 50 years as an independent nation in August. Mentor to the likes of Deng Xiao Peng of China and godfather to numerous others, he leaves a complicated future for the country he created out of very little.
A major search is underway to find AirAsia Indonesia Flight QZ8501 after it lost contact with Indonesian air traffic control while enroute from Surabaya, Indonesia to Singapore yesterday without a distress signal. Its parent company, the Malaysia-owned budget airline AirAsia (no connection to Malaysia Airlines) has had a clean safety record; AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes considers this his "worst nightmare". There were initial reports of a plane crashing in East Belitung Island, which are yet to be verified, but the multi-national search is still under way after a break due to darkness and bad weather. Indeed, powerful storms were in QZ8501's flight path, prompting the pilot to request an "unusual" route. There were 162 people on board, primarily Indonesians (including one of the pilots), as well as three South Koreans, one Singaporean, one Malaysian, one French, and one British citizen. There is currently some strong media attention on a family that missed the flight by minutes, who were told by airport officials while negotiating a replacement flight that "This must have been the best Christmas gift your family ever received".

pay attention, gals
Singaporean student Agatha Tan wrote an open letter to her principal after noticing major flaws with a sex ed program at her junior college. Specifically, the Focus on the Family-created program posited relationship advice for "guys" and "gals" and what they really think that seem to be directly cribbed from a joke book. Focus on the Family claimed that it wasn't designed as sex ed but as a "relationship education" program (here's Singapore's actual sex ed curriculum) and that it was supposedly based on research studies about the neurological differences between men and women. The principal says that the facilitators were "ineffective", and the Ministry of Education says that they will cease their working relationship with FotF soon.

2013 Southeast Asian Haze
Forest fires due to slash and burn farming in Sumatra, Indonesia have led to unprecedented air pollution levels in Singapore and Malaysia. In Singapore particularly, Facebook and Twitter are aflame as well. For a country used to very clean air, the sudden pollution has led to public outcry, with air purifiers and face masks being snatched off the shelves. So far, no stop-work-order has been issued, and there are complaints that the government is not tackling the situation rapidly enough. Indonesia is working to put out the fires and is considering cloud seeding; their response to pressure from Singapore to do more was that Singaporeans should stop behaving like children and not disturb their domestic affairs. While image macros about the 2013 haze continue to fill up Facebook feeds, some people are taking the whole affair in a more irreverent way. [more inside]

Weirdest and most surreal of all was the section of the park which depicted the the 10 levels of Buddhist hell, featuring demons dismembering sinners, and is best described as "if Heironymus Bosch built a putt putt course."

Recruiting the Top-Third
Top-performing nations recruit 100% of their new teachers from the top third. In the US, it's 23% - and 14% of high poverty schools. A new study by McKinsey and Company examines what Finland, Singapore and South Korea do to attract top graduates to teaching, including selective admissions to teacher training, competitive compensation, a more professionalized work environment, cultural respect and greater opportunities for advancement. Doing the same in the US would cost roughly $180 billion a year. [more inside]

This week, Fricker was sentenced to five months' jail and three strokes of the cane.

Some weeks back, the venerable Singaporean women's organization AWARE got caught with their bloomers down - over a hundred new members signed up just weeks prior to the 2009 officer's elections, and these new members promptly voted themselves into office. The whole thing was apparently orchestrated by members of Church of Our Savior, which is home to Singapore's largest ex-gay ministry, and whose members have been particularly outspoken against gay issues in the past. The leader of the insurgents, now president, Thio Su Mien, had complained in the past that AWARE was "promoting a homosexual agenda" in schools, which the Singaporean Ministry of Education denies. Thio's emails orchestrating the takeover have recently come to light.

It will be taller than what's currently the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, the Singapore Flyer, a soon-to-be-disappointing 541 feet high. This year, China also plans to unveil the Beijing Great Wheel. At an awesome 682 feet high, it will be taller than both the Great Berlin Wheel and the Singapore Flyer (which only debuted as the world's tallest Ferris wheel last year) ... China has, in fact, built wheels in six cities since the start of the new millennium."

You cannot live in Malaysia or Singapore without being a foodie on some level. Makan lah! or come and eat is a common and popular expression of welcome. Uniquely in the region, both countries have multiethnic populations each of whom have added their flavours, spices and condiments to the region's foodie heaven. There is Chinese food - Kuay Teow, Chicken Rice, Char Siu and Yong Tau Foo. There is Malay food, rendangs, sambals, petai and belacan adding a certain something to the mix. South Indian food proliferates like banana leaf restorans, idli-thosai pure vegetarian fast food joints like Komala's and of course the fish curries and prawn curries of the coastal regions. The colonial influence is felt with Roti John served up in hawker centres and food courts across the peninsula and islands, ending with cooling desserts like cendol, sago pudding with gula melaka and santan or 'pancake'.

Adult Siamese twins plead for separation
Adult Siamese twins plead for separation Doctors in Singapore are considering whether to separate a pair of 28-year-old twin sisters who are joined at the head - an unprecedented operation for adults.

They went to Singapore after hearing about the successful surgery led by Dr Goh on baby twins from Nepal who were also joined at the head. The operation - if it goes ahead - involves separating two brains encased within a single bony structure in the head, Dr Goh said. The twins say they want to be separated because of deep differences between them. "We are two completely separate individuals who are stuck to each other," Ladan, the more extrovert of the sisters, told reporters. "We have different lifestyles," she said. "We think very differently about issues." The twins said that if their situation continues for much longer, they will not "stand it any more".

Holcim Sells Thai, Guatemalan Cement Assets for $410 Million
Holcim Ltd., the world's largest cement maker, raised 375 million Swiss francs ($410 million) through asset sales in Thailand and Guatemala as Chief Executive Officer Bernard Fontana kicked off the first divestments in his cost-saving program.
Holcim cut its stake in Thailand's Siam City Cement Pcl to 27.5 percent from 36.8 percent in a sale to Bangkok Broadcasting and Television Co., the Jona-based company said in a statement today. The company also sold a 20 percent stake in Guatemala's Cementos Progreso SA to majority shareholder Grupo Cemcal SA Progreso.
"These are strategic divestments," Phil Roseberg, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein in London, said in an e-mail. "Thailand is a problem market where growth has really not picked up since the Asian crisis in 1997. So reducing its stake, while keeping a foothold makes sense."
The divestments are Holcim's largest in more than four years since selling 85 percent of its Venezuelan assets to that country's government for $552 million in 2008. The proceeds will contribute to Fontana's 1.5 billion-franc cost-saving program, Holcim said in today's statement. Earlier this week, Holcim said it would double spending on restructuring costs in the fourth quarter to counter overcapacity from a construction slump in European markets.
Holcim shares traded 2.1 percent lower at 66.15 francs as of 11:38 a.m. in Zurich. The company has a market capitalization of 21.6 billion francs.
'Selective Divestments'
Holcim is the only cement-firm to have kept hold of its investment grade rating while European peers HeidelbergCement AG and Lafarge SA are junk-status after entering the financial crisis saddled with debt from their acquisitions of Hanson and Orascom Cement, respectively.
Fontana has indicated since joining Holcim in February that he would consider "selective divestments" while Chief Financial Officer Thomas Aebischer said asset sales would be smaller than those planned by competitors.
Siam City Cement had sales of $755 million in 2011, and employs 3,250 people, Holcim said.

Looking for a machine shop that takes apprentices, anyone know any? (self.VancouverJobs)
submitted 3 years ago by sandcannon
Im trying to get into Machining, and for various personal reasons am stuck in the vancouver/north van/squamish areas. In the past ive cold-called many machine shops in north van, and while some take apprentices, none were looking for anyone. BCIT's machining program is booked solid until 2014.
I have some possibly related experience but for the most part would be starting brand new.
[–]sandcannon[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Still looking. Expanding to Burnaby and richmond areas now that I know how the transit system works.

Correction: Albuquerque Police Shootings story
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — In a story June 5 about a new religious group forming over Albuquerque police shootings, The Associated Press reported erroneously the name of the Congregation Albert rabbi. His name is Harry Rosenfeld, not Harry Rosenfel.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Interfaith group forms to address police violence
Interfaith group forms to address Albuquerque police shootings, ongoing protests
By RUSSELL CONTRERAS
Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Disturbed by the use of force by Albuquerque police and what they are calling the unproductive tone of recent protests over officer shootings, a group of clergy and religious leaders have formed a new association aimed at healing the fractured city and pushing for reforms.
The Rev. [auth] Angela Herrera, an assistant minister at the First Unitarian Church and a member of the group, said Wednesday that religious leaders were inspired to organize because of the recent police shootings and the "dehumanizing tone" of the protests that followed.
"We want to bring a moral voice to the discussion," said Herrera, who attended a protest downtown and said she was disturbed by its tone. "Religious leaders hope to play a productive role."
The city is negotiating with the U.S. Justice Department over police reforms after the federal agency issued a harsh report criticizing the Albuquerque Police Department's use of force and how it handles suspects with mental illness. Police also have faced increased scrutiny for 40 police shootings since 2010.
Earlier this week, more than two dozen demonstrators angry over the shootings stormed the mayor's office and held a sit-in before tactical police arrested 13 protesters.
Last month, demonstrators crowded a city council meeting and demanded that Police Chief Gorden Eden face a citizen's arrest, forcing councilors to end the meeting early as protesters took over chambers and held their own mock meeting.
A violent protest in March prompted tactical police to discharge tear gas to break up a demonstration that lasted hours just as a hacker group shut down various city websites.
Congregation Albert Rabbi Harry Rosenfeld, a founder of the group, said the new association is made up of clergy and religious leaders from different denominations and faiths. He said the recent events in Albuquerque pushed the group to form, but he hopes it expands beyond police reforms.
"Right now there is not a place for clergy to come together to design a religious response to what's going on in Albuquerque," said Rosenfeld, who has met with Mayor Richard Berry on getting more community input on police reforms. "We need to see each other as neighbors. We need to be kind to each other."
Rosenfeld said sometimes egos on both sides prevent city officials and activists from coming together on proposed changes.
The group is sponsoring a prayer and meditation service Tuesday at First Unitarian in attempt to mend the community.

Vt. Catholic Church settles abuse casesBy KEVIN O'CONNOR
STAFF WRITER | January 09,2013Three years after paying more than $20 million to close almost 30 priest misconduct lawsuits, Vermont's Catholic Church settled a dozen new cases Wednesday just minutes before the first was set for trial.
The state's largest religious denomination had hoped to rid itself of nearly a decade of lurid headlines and legal headaches in 2010 when it sold its historic 32-acre Burlington headquarters and 26-acre Colchester Camp Holy Cross to make good with all its then-known accusers. But that settlement didn't preclude other former altar boys and young male churchgoers alleging sexual abuse from filing later lawsuits.
Lawyers for the first of 12 new plaintiffs were scheduled to argue their case in U.S. District Court in Burlington Wednesday at 10 a.m. But attorneys for the statewide Roman Catholic Diocese offered a settlement just minutes before the start of opening statements.
Neither church counsel Thomas McCormick nor Burlington lawyer Jerome O'Neill, representing all but two of the three dozen past and present plaintiffs, would reveal the amount of the settlement.

AbstractLeak detection and location within manned spacecraft has been an elusive goal as was demonstrated on MIR. Manual leak detection, using ultrasonic technology, was successfully demonstrated at Johnson Space Center by a project team within ES using techniques for leak detection in pressurized aircraft. Manual surveys are intrusive to space craft activities and crews. An automated process of leak detection and location is needed. IVC proposes to do this with (a) existing space qualified hardware, (b) an addition of wideband ultrasonic transducers, and (c) new smart software algorithms that process emitted leak energy in a manner that results in detection and location of the leak. The uniqueness of the proposed approach is the use of large numbers of self-powered, miniaturized, stick on ultrasonic sensory nodes that are all synchronized within a radio frequency network and are self calibrating. The network provides the data paths and synchronization. Ultrasonic transducers can act as transmitters as well as receivers. Thus the sensor network calibrates itself thus increasing detection and location accuracy. Numbers of MicroWIS units (organized into such networks) have already been flown on Shuttle and station and have operated in a completely non-intrusive manner in regard to radio frequency, physical encumbrance, and astronaut time.

Dr. David M. Goldberg Uses Invisalign Align Patient Smiles in Bellerose, NY
Many people are unhappy with their smiles, but with teeth that are better aligned, you can boost both your self-esteem and your self-confidence. Aligning your teeth can be simple and can provide great, long lasting results that you'll love to show off. Best of all, patients no longer have to make it obvious that they're aligning their teeth. With Invisalign clear plastic aligners, patients can discreetly and comfortably straighten their smile. Dr. David M. Goldberg offers Invisalign to his patients in Bellerose, NY, providing them with a tooth aligning solution that they can use with confidence and comfort.
In the case of mild to moderate orthodontic need, Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional braces. Patients that do not need major bite adjustments or major changes in tooth alignment are the best candidates for Invisalign. They are fitted as a clear tooth-shaped tray that is placed over you top and bottom rows of teeth, gradually moving them into a straighter position. The virtually invisible nature of Invisalign makes this modern orthodontic alternative beneficial for both teens and adults that may have reservations about the look, feel and process of wearing traditional braces. These clear, plastic aligners straighten a patient's teeth without showing up in photographs and without being inherently noticeable while smiling or speaking.
Dr. David M. Goldberg's Invisalign patients frequently describe them as is convenient, comfortable and easy to use. Invisalign is easily removed during meals and provides a no-hassle adjustment period. There is no need to adjust your eating habits to suit an orthodontic lifestyle. Invisalign allows patients to straighten their teeth with the option of removing the Invisalign as needed. There is no need to modify your oral health habits. Regular brushing and flossing, along with cleaning of the aligners, is all that is needed with Invisalign. If you think that Invisalign may be the teeth straightening option you're seeking, contact Dr. David M. Goldberg for a consultation at his office in Bellerose, NY.
If you are interested in the benefits of Invisalign, contact Dr. David M. Goldberg. Visit http://www.goldbergcomfortdental.com or call 718-347-6262 to schedule an appointment.

I'm currently running a single Nagios instance. From time to time, I'm getting false alarms about timeouts - for example, it says that HTTP is down on some server, but when I open it in my browser several seconds later, it loads fast, and in general there is no trace of an error.
What can I do to reduce such false alarms?
I'm guessing that it's because of transient network issues on my monitoring server. I guess that setting up another monitoring server on a different network would greatly help, but how do I plug it into Nagios?
Is it at all possible with Nagios or do I have to switch to another monitoring system? I like my configs and, if possible, I'd like to stay with Nagios or something compatible (Icinga?)

In fig 4, shows a basic single-ended amplifier and a differential amplifier. Assume the input signal is DC component superimposed with small signal Vmcos(wt). Derive the amplitude of second harmonic terms normalized to the fundamental in both circuit, and compare the result to give quantitative explanation. In the final derivation, the term with cos(wt) is defined as fundamental and the term with cos(2wt) is defined as second harmonic. (Hint: The DC analysis to get current v.s. cos(wt) relationship is necessary to solve this problem.)

I have a data drive in my laptop as well - so I figured I'd just wipe it and install my OS on it for the time being.
The thing is I have about 5-10 files that I need and are new since my last backup. I am able to boot into Windows 7 Setup from a USB flash drive, and I have an external HDD ready.
My question is: is it possible for me to access data on this disk from a command prompt in windows setup? And if so, how?

Randall is what they call an original junglist. He's the DJs DJ; ask either Andy C or Friction who inspired their DJing style, and they'll say Randall. He started DJing in the mid 80s and after hearing acid house at Notting Hill Carnival in 1987 and fell in love with rave culture. After making a name for himself on pirate radio station Centreforce, and on the illegal rave circuit, Randall's career took off with his legendary sets at AWOL and World Dance. He established himself as one of the elite of the emerging drum & bass scene, with an impeccable reputation behind the turntables that he has maintained to this day. Although not a prolific producer, his discography is littered with classics, not least his collaboration with Andy in 1995, 'Roll On', which remains a huge tune to this day. Randall launched his own label in 1997, Mac II Recordings, which featured several of his own collaborative productions with Cool Hand Flex. The label is still active, with some exciting new music in the pipeline, whilst he is also heavily involved with new label J-Tek Records, a new imprint set up to release music that evokes the dance music of the early 90s before restrictive pigeonholes begun to be enforced. Over two decades since he started spinning tunes, Randall remains a forward thinking musician and DJ. Randall is an unofficial resident at Friction's Shogun Audio here at The End, where he can still regularly be found tearing up the main room like it's 1995.

I have a gallery up here.
Because the images are different sizes/aspects, I would like a border around the images when the user goes to slideshow mode. I added a border by going to Gallery --> Style and amending the Slideshow area. Copypasta below:
/* ----------- Slideshow -------------*/
.slideshow {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
outline: none;
border: black solid 1px;
However, it looks like the slideshow div is used for both the container for the slideshow (960 wide) as well as the flash object, which is set to 900x900. This leads to a dual border; one around the container and one around the actual image.
I can't add a style to my page, because the page itself just has the ngg shortcode for the gallery (the gallery is the default view, the user has to choose slideshow). So if I add a style around that, I'll get a border around my thumbnail picture view as well, which I don't want.
Is there a way to clear the class from the flash object? Or will that cause more harm than good? Am I looking at this problem correctly?
Thanks in advance.

Josh Harris, the new owner of the 76ers, is happy sitting center court at almost every home game. He has the best seat in the house, and why shouldn't he?
He is a billionaire and, as he sees it, he made his fortune buying companies at just the right time - down-and-out outfits, in need of a fresh approach - just like he has done with the Sixers.
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than smart. In the Sixers' case, nearly all the key ingredients to success were already in place - great coach, nucleus of solid young players. The lockout scared other potential buyers away. Harris got in, infused the franchise with energy, re-signed two key players, and, so far, the team is winning.

The staff was the nicest I have ever encountered. While we waited for the room, they helped us with our dinner reservations. It was our 27th wedding anniversary. The GM seemed to be around the front desk 24/7. He was very attentive to every guest.

Be careful before traveling to this spot! Our room was way underwhelming. Bed had hair in it, and the suite we booked seemed thrown together.

So is there a way that, given 3.1's custom post types, I can export WooTumblog's content to custom fields (or the content body area) instead of custom fields.
I've become a little concerned that without WooTumblog plugin none of my content is visible... it's effectively holding my content hostage. I was really interested in the iOS app, but I just don't seem to be using it.
So I'm thinking of rebuilding my site with Custom Post types, but I really don't want to manually move content from WooTumblog custom fields into the post body...

Digital Filters for Low Frequency Equalization
Digital filters with high resolution in the low frequency range are studied. Specifically, for a given computational power, traditional IIR filters are compared with warped FIR filters, warped IIR filters, and modified warped FIR filters termed warped individual z FIR filters (WizFIR). The results indicate that IIR filters are the most effective in a number of situations.
