Time for Proteas' top bats to come to party
Whereas Ricky Ponting's side can attack from many angles, the South Africans have only a handful of players capable of imposing themselves on a match.
Among the Australians, most eyes will be upon the older players as they try to prevent middle age taking hold of their minds and midriffs.
Damien Martyn's recall confirmed that even the most highly regarded Australian player can nowadays be ditched but that they can also hope to return. In the past the selectors dished out only red cards. These days they also brandish the yellow.
Now Martyn must show that he has the hunger to reclaim the form displayed in 2004. Once an elderly player has been dropped, he is inclined to start thinking about armchairs, and that usually proves fatal.
Martyn showed signs of life in the field at Newlands and hereafter must convince sceptics that he means it. Cricket requires an intensity of concentration that itself demands sincerity.
Shane Warne will also be keen to make his mark. In the first Test, his bowling lacked rhythm and his face had the aspect of hidden suffering. Doubtless he is delighted to be back among socks, towels and banter of the rooms, and also on the field where life is simple and he remains king.
Warne will need to revitalise his bowling by recapturing the vitality that has long counted among his greatest assets. He looked a little flat in the first Test, and his many slower deliveries lacked the energy needed to perform mid-air somersaults. At times he tossed the ball into the air as if it were a pancake.
Whatever happens hereafter to the celebrated leg spinner, may he never receive the treatment dished out to Sachin Tendulkar in Mumbai last week as ungrateful ignoramuses booed their struggling champion as he trudged from the field after another failure.
Not that Warne has always been gracious himself. Indeed he is partly to blame for the growing raucousness of Australian crowds. Courtesy towards opponents counts among the most underestimated of sporting virtues.
Apart from the old hats, Australia has not much to worry about. Ponting, Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer remain a formidable trinity at the top of the order while the lefties down the list, Adam Gilchrist and Mike Hussey, have lots of runs in them.
The time has come for Andrew Symonds to surge, a task England's Andrew Flintoff performed with aplomb a couple of seasons ago.
Australia's bowling is dependable as opposed to inspiring. None of the more potent contenders has pressed his case hard enough. Shaun Tait resembles a minister without portfolio in that no one knows quite what to do with him.
Apparently Nathan Bracken performed admirably for his club on his return and, like ametamorphosing caterpillar, is clearly changing for the better. In the meantime, it is up to the stalwarts to keep the pressure on the home batsmen.
South Africa's chances depend on the ability of senior batsmen to put runs on the board. Graeme Smith, Herschelle Gibbs and Jacques Kallis have had disappointing campaigns and their failures have been too heavy a cross for the side to bear.
Makhaya Ntini, Shaun Pollock, Andre Nel and Kallis form a fair attack and it's about time they were given some runs to play with, a cry that may also be heard from Nicky Boje, whose bowling is at its best when his nerve is as its strongest.
If the batsmen do not produce runs, then the selectors may need to look elsewhere. Thanks considerably to a trio of enterprising batsmen from the Indian community, and not a little to Lance Klusener and others, Kwa-Zulu Natal has been running away with the local competition, a circumstance that, curiously enough, has earned the coach not a pay rise but the sack!
It seems that Natal has not played well enough in these 20-over nonsenses. Those responsible for this decision must be mad. Twenty-over cricket needs to be kept in its place.
At any rate, the Australians will be confident of taking the series in this second match. Unless the South African batting heavyweights perform, they might well be right. The time has come for Gibbs and Smith, especially, to come to the party.

AN INQUIRY into race fixing in Victoria is likely to lead to new laws to improve co-operation between police and racing authorities to try to stamp out corruption.
Announcing a 25-day inquiry yesterday, the Racing Integrity Commissioner, Sal Perna, said it may result in a recommendation for the Baillieu government to enable racing stewards to receive information from police and to allow Racing Victoria to act on unlicensed people suspected to be at the centre of unusual betting activity.
''It's also about plugging holes in systems and processes. Are there changes that could have been done better … are there changes that are needed to be made to legislation? It could be a whole variety of things that come out of it,'' he said.
The inquiry comes after revelations by Fairfax Media and on the ABC's Four Corners program about corruption in racing, including race-fixing allegations involving top jockeys.
One of the jockeys under investigation is Danny Nikolic, who is also facing a police inquiry for allegedly fixing a race in Cranbourne last year.
That race involved a horse called Smoking Aces, ridden by Nikolic. Those also being investigated in connection to a betting plunge linked to the allegedly fixed race include a former trainer, John Nikolic, who is Danny's brother, and the former AFL player and jockey adviser Mark Hunter.
An ongoing investigation by by Fairfax Media into racing can also reveal:
sources have confirmed that Danny Nikolic exercised significant control over the ownership and training of Smoking Aces, directing one Caulfield trainer on how the horse should be treated in the lead-up to the Cranbourne race.
organised crime figures along Australia's east cost are closely tied to major betting operations run by professional punters and which have access to trainers, jockeys and other racing figures.
Mr Perna said yesterday his office had received a significant increase in calls from members of the public in recent weeks following media reports of alleged race fixing. Although he does not have the power to compel people to assist the inquiry nor the ability to access possible evidence of race fixing obtained through police phone taps, Mr Perna said people would be able to give his office information in strict confidence.
He said he would work closely with police and the Australian Crime Commission.
Mr Perna said he believed the majority of Victoria's racing industry, estimated to be worth $3 billion a year to the economy, to be above board.
''My view is that when you have an industry so big, that there are going to be pockets of inappropriate behaviour, breaching of rules and in some cases criminal activity,'' he said.
He was unable to say if his report would be made public, but it was his intention.
Mr Perna said Racing Victoria was frustrated it was unable to act on allegations of race fixing at Cranbourne because of its inability to access information obtained by detectives investigating last year's killing of the race horse owner Les Samba.
'They would love to take some action but they can't'', he said.

Comments about oreilly The Book of Audacity:
I bought it to learn how record with overdubbing, and to learn what all the buttons were. But I also learned about sound equipment, and got a small idea of how professional sound engineers work. I didn't expect that, but I'm glad I read it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This book gave me 100% Satisfaction...

About Me Educator
I'm a relatively new podcaster on a budget. I decided to use Audacity as my audio editing platform because, among other reasons, I assumed that documentation would be abundant. Not necessarily so. I previously read another tile, "Podcasting with Audacity: Audio Editing for Everyone" but still had several gaps in my understanding. The Audacity Book filled in all of those gaps and expanded my comprehension of the product. The writing was easy to understand. Where necessary, basic theory was presented; however, the bulk of this book consists of several basic-to-advanced projects including making ringtones, recording high-quality audio CD rips and archiving legacy analog audio. Hands-on learners will love this approach. To my mind, the BEST thing about this title is the coverage of installing and using across the major operating systems; Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Most technical books give Linux little if any considerations. The Audacity Book not only details installation in Linux, it includes a list of multimedia Linux distros and supplementary programs.Just one or two of the tips provided by this book would more than justify the cost. [Disclosure: I was provided a free review copy.] Happily, it has several dozen such tips for both novices and experts. I consider this title an essential addition to the library of any Audacity user. Highly recommended.

Fun to read but still detailed
By -edgar
from Olalla WA
About Me Designer, Developer, Musician, Sound technician, Sys Admin
The Book of Audacity reads like a chat with a friend – the style is entertaining while still being informative. The author clearly understands Audacity and computers. When a technical term is introduced it is explained; the glossary is extensive and very detailed. The frequent use of "screen grabs" (pictures of the software in action) makes this book much easier to understand, especially for the user who is just learning Audacity.ProsThe Book of Audacity covers Audacity like a glove on a hand – if some aspect of the program is not explained it is an obscure or trivial feature.The Book of Audacity goes into the nitty-gritty aspects of hardware – soundcards, cables, computer optimization etc..The Book of Audacity includes tutorials which guide the user through some of the more common but complex tasks for which Audacity is so well-suited – transferring legacy analog media to digital, creating podcasts, making compilations CDs etc..The chapter on "Fix-it's and Cleanups" gives extremely detailed, though easy-to-follow, directions for using Audacity's tools when the user is trying to eliminate all those annoying little glitches inherent in the process of creating a recording. This is especially important for the user who is transferring vinyl LPs to CDs.ConsThe author has chosen on a number of occasions to copy and paste large sections from one chapter to another. This may well be helpful to the reader who picks up the book and goes directly to one of the tutorials without reading any of the preceding material but for the user who reads the book cover to cover it might become a bit repetitious.The title of this book might lead the reader to believe that it is a reference manual to the software. While the book does a great job of teaching the reader how to use Audacity for a wide range (though not exhaustive) set of tasks a large portion of the book is devoted to teaching the reader the fundamentals of audio engineering.The first chapter is a good introduction to Audacity's toolbars and menus. Chapter 15 is the next chapter which deals with the basics of Audacity; it covers Audacity's Preferences settings in great detail. While Audacity's developers go to great length to make the default Preference settings reasonable starting points, even the first time user should be encouraged to go through and look at all of the Preference panels – there are settings that really need to be understood (even by the first-time user) and choices that really need to be made. It might make some sense to read chapter 15 immediately after reading chapter 1.The Book of Audacity can only be accurate as of the date it was written – this is a real failing anytime words are set down on paper describing such a moving target as an open source software project. There is a link hidden away in the fine print, after the "other books" advertising and before the "about the font" blurb, "Updates: Visit http://nostarch.com/audacity.htm for errata, updates, and other information."; this might get more attention if presented very early in chapter 1.The author is clearly a Linux guru and extremely familiar with Windows; there are chapters devoted exclusively to fine tuning Linux and Windows for general audio work. Audacity is also available for Apple's Mac OS X computers – there is little or no Mac specific information presented in this book. There are some specific differences with respect to the GUI when Audacity is run on a Mac.SummaryThe Book of Audacity's very few minor problems are greatly overshadowed by its friendly tone, attention to detail, general accuracy and excellent advice about things not related to Audacity. If the author releases a second edition of this book shortly after the (hopefully imminent) release of Audacity 2.0 a lot of the (very few and very minor) technical inaccuracies could be addressed with the hope it would be fairly up-to-date for a long time.I am an audio technician with over 20 years experience in all aspects of live concert sound; I have my own recording studio and have produced a small number of releases – mainly CDs but also a few cassette tapes back before the digital days. I am a computer programmer with some notable successes on the Commodore 64 and Amiga. I am one of Audacity's manual editors and while not a formal member of the Audacity Development Team some of my bug quashing and feature enhancing code has been adopted by the Audacity developers.I received a free PDF version of this book so that I might review it.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Moses Guest
Coming together in 1995, the Texas-based Guest joined with bassist Sean Simon and drummer John Chupin. With Guest's anthemic folk-rock songwriter at the band's core, they soon recorded and released Geniality of Mortality, simultaneously launching the band's own record label, Aufheben Records. The band continued to tour (of course) and work up a regional following. The group refined a southern-fried sound with influences like Little Feat and jam band elders Widespread Panic.
Guest soon parted ways with Simon and Chupin, though, and plotted a slightly expanded lineup of the group, now featuring funk metal bassist Jeremy Horton, jazz drummer James Edwards, and former Beat Temple keyboardist/guitarist Rick Thompson. With this group, he recorded the energetic American Trailer Home Blues, which featured live cuts of "Right Down," "Sand," and "Fly," along with seven other studio cuts.
1998's Live Stages captured the band's sound through several extended improvisations, including the heartily hippie "Intro Jam," along with a cover popularized by the Grateful Dead, "I Know You Rider." In fact, Guest's guitar, covered with envelope filter, sounds remarkably similar to Jerry Garcia's throughout the disc. The music lacks the edge of the band's studio work, though, and often sounds too polished to be interesting. The band followed the disc's release with high-profile gigs on the H.O.R.D.E. tour, shows opening for Steve Miller, and a group featuring members of the Jerry Garcia Band.
The sprawling, meandering three-disc Arkansas or Bust documented a wide array of the group's music, stretching back through several years, instrumental configurations, and improvisations. Nearly on top of this release, the band also put out the poppy U 'n' Mi EP, aimed at college radio stations. The band continues to play clubs in their native Texas. ~ Jesse Jarnow

That bag expanded because the pressure outside dropped, not because the pressure inside increased.(incidentally those bags are filled with Nitrogen to displace the Oxygen so the contents won't go stale
) At that altitude change the pressure dropped by a few psi and so the gas in the bag was allowed to expand and if taken higher it would have exploded but this would be due to the bag, unlike a tire, being unable to contain the few PSI difference and even at 50,000 ft it would not be enough to cause a tire to explode. To say that the pressure in an aircraft tire would double and result in explosion at altitude due to being inflated with air instead of Nitrogen is simply ridiculous. The difference in pressure change in a car tire using Nitrogen instead air because of heat build-up may very well be enough to make a difference in tread wear, I had not thought of that. I think it was about a year ago that someone asked about spraying paint with Nitrogen or CO2 because the location did not lend itself to using a compressor and now it has been asked again. There may be some legitimate reasons for the need for this and it does no harm to examine it since it seems anyway that it might be more practical than at first thought. If the cost could be held to less than $25 or so per job then in comparison to other costs it may not be too expensive, key word here being "if". Once the tanks are set up then refill would not be that costly and one would have zero problems with air line contamination and possibly even some other benefits (or maybe drawbacks?) that we have not covered yet.

Asian Development Bank Institute Three-Year Rolling Work Program, 2014–2016 and Budget for 2014
Pursuant to Article V(3)(a) of the Statute of the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), this paper presents a three-year rolling work program for 2014–2016 including the budget for 2014, for the consideration of and approval by the Board of Directors of the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
ADBI's institutional strategic focus is aligned with ADB's Strategy 2020, following three priority themes under the overarching goal of poverty reduction: (i) inclusive and sustainable growth, (ii) regional cooperation and integration, and (iii) governance for policies and institutions. Private sector issues play a critical role as a driver of change and therefore cut across these themes. These three strategic priority themes, which were approved by the Board of Directors in December 2008, will continue to be the basis for all ADBI activities in 2014.

- Asian Development Bank Institute's Vision

Welcome to the one-hundredth and twenty seventh installment of the Weekly WAYP or "What are you playing?" As usual, I included a song at the end of this blog. Please let me know in the comments if you listen to/like the songs I post. Also, feel free to tell me about any interesting media you've enjoyed over the past week, whether it's games, music, movies, books, comics, or anything else.
With IGN being borked last week I was unfortunately unable to post last week's WAYP. Thus, this will cover the last two weeks.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist - Splinter Cell: Blacklist is exactly what it should be. Though I like Conviction, I was saddened that it decided to abandon pure stealth in favor of creating a more aggressive take on the genre. Splinter Cell: Blacklist incorporates this, but also returns to the franchises' roots, and thus offers players the means to play their Sam Fisher. Whether it's sticking to traditional sneaking, using the shadows as a weapon or fighting head on, Fisher tactics are malleable to a user's preference. It's like it's taken a page out of Deus Ex, but remains loyal to its roots.
What's the real standout for me though is the multiplayer. Seriously, Spies vs Mercs is fucking awesome. It alone is reason enough to pick it up.
Room 237 - ★★★★
Frances Ha - ★★★½
Logorama - ★★★½
Ocean's Eleven - ★★★★
From One Second to the Next - ★★★★
Kick Ass 2 - ★★★
jOBS - ★★
★★★★★: Cinema at its very best.
★★★★½: A fantastic piece whose qualities push it into the upper echelons of great cinematic works.
★★★★: Excellent; a film that successfully delivers on nearly most of its ideas.
★★★½: It may have some minor flaws, yet is still very good despite them.
★★★: Perfectly fine, yet is marred by some noticeable problems.
★★½: Though it may have some good elements, they're counterbalanced by negative ones.
★★: Unsatisfying, which is confounded by the fact that it could have been something special.
★½: It might have one, or possibly two elements that are appreciable, yet they're drowned out by a host of flaws and failings.
★: An example of how a possibly good idea can be utterly ruined.
½: Absolute rubbish - it should only be watched in order to remind yourself how wrong a film can go.

Voters OK both Carson City-Crystal ballot proposals
CARSON CITY — Voters approved two ballot proposals Tuesday for Carson City-Crystal Area Schools.
An 18-mill operating millage renewal passed by 670 votes to 272 votes, or about 71 percent to 29 percent.
The millage will be spread out over five years and will generate approximately $1.8 million, which represents 22.5 percent of the district's budget. The nonhomestead millage will only be levied on second homes and businesses — not on primary homes.
A 2-mill bond proposal to generate $995,000 over two years for building and site improvements also passed by 556 votes to 384 votes, or about 59 percent to 41 percent.
Bond improvements will include steam to hot water conversion and boiler replacement at the high school/middle school (which will result in an estimated $30,000 in energy savings) and roof, entrance and restroom improvements at Carson City Elementary School.
Daniyel McAlvey and Holly Keiffer were co-chairwomen of the bond campaign, along with Nancy Seals. Their motto is "Strong Schools, Strong Communities."
"Obviously, we're thrilled that both (proposals) have been passed," Seals said. "It's exciting that the voters of Carson City and Crystal and Hubbardston see the future of the school and how important it is."
"I'm happy that 71 percent care about the children and want bigger and better things for them," Keiffer added. "I believe in my heart that number will do nothing but grow. We've got a good thing going."
Voter turnout was almost 23 percent in Bloomer Township, 14 percent in Bushnell Township, 16 percent in Crystal Township, 14 percent in Ferris Township, 16 percent in North Plains Township, 15 percent in New Haven Township and almost 29 percent in the city of Carson City.

Refloating the PS Canally
01/12/2013 , 1:05 PM by Ashley Walsh
The historic PS Canally has been refloated at the Port of Morgan on the River Murray.
The 1907 paddle steamer sank at her moorings at the beginning of November, just two years after being moved to Morgan for what was planned to be a 10 year restoration project.
Drums and airbags were used to refloat the paddle steamer before the water could be pumped from the hull.
Phil Reed is the Chairman of the PS Canally Restoration Committee provided 891 listeners with an update.

An adult liver is about the size of a football, and is located under the right part of your lower rib cage. It is a critical organ, enabling digestion and ridding the body of toxins.
Some liver diseases are inherited, and others are caused by viruses and chemicals. Your body can manage some on its own, while others must be treated and may have serious complications.
Symptoms of liver disease include:
See your WellStar physician if you have any of these symptoms persistently. If you have severe abdominal pain, seek immediate medical attention.
Causes of liver disease are many, but they include overuse of alcohol, viral infections like hepatitis, toxins, and parasites. Risk factors include:

Did you see the showdown between DCCC Chairman Chris Van Hollen and Karl Rove on FOX News Sunday?
We told you this weekend about Rove's recent lies, his claims that Congress pushed the President to war in Iraq in a ludicrous attempt to erase the fact that President Bush started this disastrous, failed war.
Republicans know what a mess they have made in Iraq — we can't let them rewrite history now.
Chairman Van Hollen took him to task and demanded he retract these outrageous statements. While Rove did a verbal tap dance, cherry picking information, the Chairman pulled out his trump card. This quote from Ari Fleischer:
"It was definitely the Bush administration that set it in motion and determined the timing, not the Congress. I think Karl in this instance just has his facts wrong."
Rove looks dumbfounded that someone finally stood up to him and called out his fabrications face-to-face. Watch the video of Chris Van Hollen and contribute to help us continue holding Bush's Rubber Stamp Republicans accountable. Don't let them rewrite history and use their spin to promote their concocted story.
Watch highlights of Chairman Van Hollen taking Karl Rove to task.

I'm amazed, but not at all in a positive way, at how a discussion about a statue of a dog can turn into a debate about racism and ethnic groups. Believe it or not, that's what happened last week on this site after we published the story "Hairy Maclary home by Christmas".
Maybe I haven't been in New Zealand long enough to fully understand the uneasiness between Maori and pakeha people that so often comes to the surface, but don't write that off as ignorance. My children are part Maori, I have stayed the night at a marae, I can pronounce te reo surprisingly well, and have respect for people's culture and heritage.
I also have a lot of respect for the settlers who came to this country in the early days. Every time I visit the Coromandel or the Bay of Islands, I am just in awe with how hard these people must have worked to make the wild landscape liveable.
Before I came here, I had the notion that New Zealand was a country where the indigenous people and colonials had sorted things out in a decent manner and lived and worked together for a brighter future.
Was I so wrong? To go by the comments on our website last week, I was.
You can argue that New Zealand is becoming more multi-cultural and that is true. I have seen ladies in saris walking around Tauranga, but I still haven't seen any burkas or dashiki on these streets. Maybe a multi-cultural society is easier to live in than a bi-cultural one?
Just to give you a bit of background on my thinking, I grew up in a town about half the size of Tauranga. In primary school, the majority of children were white Dutchies but there were also children from the Middle East, Eastern Europe, other European countries, Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and even some from Australia.
One of the girls in my class came from Turkey. A few kids were mean to her because she didn't speak the language very well, had hairier arms than we did, and she smelled a bit funny. All that didn't matter to me, and we became friends. Her mum cooked the most beautiful meals which I was happy to try, and my love for ethnic food was instilled right there and then.
After high school and some travelling, I moved to a big city with a population of about 1.3 million where I lived for eleven years with all sorts of people, of about 175 different nationalities, around me.<inline type="recurring-inline" id="1003" align="outside" enforce-sites="no" />
One of the first jobs I got was at an anti-racism information centre. Someone who has xenophobia, so I learned, is a person disproportionately fearful or contemptuous of that which is foreign, especially of strangers or foreign peoples.
I'm so glad I never had that problem, and I'm pretty sure I have my upbringing in a multi-cultural society to thank for that.
I acknowledge there is a difference between people from different parts of the world, but I choose to think that this is a good thing. It's the not knowing that brings out fear in people, and there really is no need for that. It's like a little kid that says "I don't like that" when you offer him a type of food he has never tried before.
Xenophobia is understandable as it is based on ignorance, but racism is a more serious issue. It's the belief that races have distinctive cultural characteristics determined by hereditary factors, and that this provides a fundamental superiority for one race over others. On top of that, abusive or aggressive behaviour towards members of another race are based on that belief.
I can't stand racist remarks, no matter where it comes from or who it's aimed at, and I found some of the comments on our website last week absolutely appalling. First Hairy Maclary and then the story about Tauranga Moana's first Treaty settlement signing gave the anonymous bigots a real opportunity to let loose.
Luckily, thanks to a more intelligent commenter, the discussion was put back on track. After all, it was meant to be about Tauranga's waterfront and the statue of a dog.
He said: "I think it's a shame when someone ruins a good conversation by complaining about racism, it's just a boorish and childish attempt to make themselves the centre of attention. I think the initiative is great and I hope one of the downtown dairy's changes its name to Donaldson's Dairy and becomes part of the statue trail as well."

When we collectively set our minds to a goal, we can accomplish anything
We live in the greatest country on Earth. It is not a perfect country. Our military organization is the best in the world. In the USA, progress in medical and scientific fields are momentous.
We provide more financial aid worldwide than almost any other nation. We support worldwide medical needs as well as provide nourishment to countries not as fortunate as we are.
We offer religious freedom and public discussions which are not tolerated in a number of sovereign states. We have no shortage of the brightest and most creative people in the world.
There is a disconnect here. We will always have problems and challenges. That is the human condition.
When we collectively set our minds to a goal, we can accomplish anything. We have bailed out the auto industry. We have bailed out the largest financial institutions in this country. Through collaboration, cooperation, and communication, anything is attainable.
If we, as a people, do not want something done, it does not get done. If we are not vocal and do not work towards a solution, there will be no solution. If we do not insist on our voices being heard, they will not be heard.
Yes, it takes sacrifice, commitment, strength, and work away from the people and the things which we love the most. But, isn't our future worth an hour or two of sacrifice? Isn't it worth attending a meeting when you would rather be somewhere else? Isn't it worth a lively discussion to get something positive done?
I must admit that I am sorry that, for a while, I was not involved in the process. I may not have been able to change anything, but I would have tried. Our city is in this position partially due to lack of interest and time. Voting is not the only obligation that we have as citizens. I am not proud of where our city, state, and nation are today.
As a nation, we have stood on the shoulders of giants since the American Revolution. Our lives were secured by the men and women who went to war for our freedom, time after time. As citizens, we are probably not the fighters that our predecessors were. Our priorities are different. There is plenty of blame to go around for our situation. But, the ship can be righted. The question is not can we? But, will we?

Established in August 2008, the International Research Center investigates the Interweaving of Cultures in Performance in the broadest sense. The topic refers to the whole range of processes and phenomena in which different cultures meet through performance, continuously producing various and specific differences, thus profundly questioning fixed concepts of cultural identity. Through performative practices and modes of presentation, political and social dimensions become apparent: Processes of interweaving are inextricably linked to questions of economic power, migration, corpo-realities and identity politics, as well as to strategies of appropriation and translation.
Aiming at contemporary and historical perspectives, the research focus is divided into five main areas:
A. The emergence of a new aesthetics
B. Corpo-Realities
C. Political and economic dimensions
D. Performance in relation to religion and spirituality
E. Interweaving as social practice

How-To Geek
Spoofing is the process by which a computer is misrepresented on the network as another computer. Spoofing can be done at the hardware level (e.g. MAC address spoofing) or at the TCP/IP level (e.g. IP address spoofing). The primary purpose of spoofing is to allow the unauthorized computer to gain access to a secure network wherein the security is provided by verification of a hardware or IP address. If a Wi-Fi node is locked down to only specific pre-approved MAC addressed, for example, a malicious user seeking to gain entry would need to spoof a valid MAC address to connect to the node.

Cassidy Turley sells challenged office park in Cincinnati
February 01, 2013 | Dan Rafter | Print Article | Email this Article
The Holiday Office Park near downtown Cincinnati hasn't had the most illustrious of histories. Several owners have taken a crack at operating the office park. And today, the park is nearly half vacant.
Even worse, one of its major tenants is scheduled to leave the office park this year, leaving even more empty space behind.
That, though, didn't prevent brokers from the Cincinnati office of Cassidy Turley from selling the building.
Neyer Properties on Jan. 29 purchased Holiday Office Park, a three-building 349,000-square-foot office complex in Cincinnati. Cincinnati residents should be familiar with the chief executive officer of Neyer Properties; Dan Neyer is one of the region's busiest and developers.
With the assistance of the Cincinnati office of Cassidy Turley, Neyer paid nearly $2.6 million for the complex, which is 51 percent occupied.
Challenges remain at the site, though. Paycor, the Cincinnati-based payroll-services provider, is relocating its more than 300 jobs and 65,000-square-foot footprint from Holiday to Norwood, Ohio, where it is building a new headquarters.
Those involved in the transaction say that the office park offers opportunity for its new owner, despite its high vacancy. James O'Connell, an executive managing director and principal at Cassidy Turley, who represented the seller in the transaction, summed up the hopes that he and others have for the property.
"The sale of the Holiday Office Park is a great example of a local real estate investor taking advantage of its experience and intuition by purchasing a property that seemingly has a number of issues," said O'Connell, in a written statement. "But the buyer knows those issues can be dealt with via careful attention."
Part of the reason why the purchase makes sense is the price that Neyer paid. That $2.6 million price tag doesn't seem so high when the 10-acre property just in 2004 fetched $14.5 million.
"There is definitely a market for a property like Holiday Office Park," said Peter Snow, an office broker, vice president and principal with Cassidy Turley, in a written statement. "The most logical users are nonprofits and government agences that need to be close to downtown."

I dropped into the local Fabricland today. Then I left.
I left to go to the bank!!
They had several tables of cottons "buy 1 get 3 free" as well as some "buy 1 get 2 free".
Well now, that's my price!
So, I got 12 meters of a beautiful light yellow print that will make nice backing fabric.
I got 8 meters of a yummy brown print that will be a good neutral
I got 4 meters each of two purples, and two blues that will be going to my next niece's quilt (#5 of 10 to make)
I got a meter of the red floral that I'm using in a current project - that I'm running short of..
All in all, I got almost 35 meters of fabric, and spent $170. (including the 13% tax we pay here.)
I am a happy camper tonight!

In the financial world, two plus two doesn't always equal four. Within a given financial portfolio, each investment is typically assigned a number to indicate its level of riskiness, or how likely it is to lose money. Determining the risk of the entire portfolio, however, goes far beyond simply adding the risk measures of individual investments. Often, the investments are dependent on one another, meaning that the failure of one can trigger a chain reaction and have an effect on the entire po

Find comfort and calm at this inn set on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. Don't forget to try the chowder!
The Destination
On the wild and rugged Oregon coast, Newport is a town of quaint galleries, bobbing fishing boats, and aquatic entertainment. Deep azure waves crash along rocky, jagged shores, and emerald forests tumble down hillsides to meet the sea. Explore the shoreline on foot, or navigate the tides on a sailboat in the harbor. And of course, Newport's close proximity to Portland, Salem, and Eugene means that you can be breathing in the town's salty sea air and listening to the crashing waves in no time.
The Digs
Set on a rolling bluff overlooking the Pacific, Elizabeth Street Inn embraces its casual setting by offering touches of comfort in a calming, elegant atmosphere. Stretch your toes on the cool sand just a block away from your ocean-view room, then stop into the lobby for a cup of smoked salmon chowder to eat on your balcony as the warmth of the gas fireplace fills the room. Other features include a microwave, refrigerator, flat-screen TV, and Keurig coffeemaker. Don't be afraid to plunge into the Pacific Ocean, either—an indoor hot tub and comfortable robes will keep you warm after the dive. And be sure to grab a freshly baked cookie, served around 8 p.m. each night, when you return to this cozy Newport inn.

Citadel's Reversal of Fortune
Hedge fund magnate Ken Griffin's luck may be changing.
Griffin's two main funds at Citadel Investment Management ended January up 4.75%. That's an impressive showing in light of the nearly 9% slide in the S&P500 during the first month of the year.
A good chunk of January's gain came in the final week of the month. As of Jan. 26, the portfolios were up about 2.85%, according to preliminary information provided to investors.
It's been a long time since Citadel's nearly $10 billion Kensington and Wellington funds had a winning month. Last year Citadel's flagship funds lost 54.6%—a startling blow to Griffin's reputation as a trader extraordinaire.
Much of Citadel's success in January is being attributed to a big turnaround in the performance of its convertible bond book and its equity trading. Source says January was one of the best months ever for equity trading at Citadel.
A year ago, Citadel began the year losing 3.5% in January. The hedge funds' investors can only hope that this January's results are a harbinger of good things to come.

News: Tagged as FF Unit Slab
Our top 10 most popular webfonts in-use
You may have heard that our Web FontFonts are now supported by 98% of all desktop browsers. With a tantalising typographical treasure trove of 2240 Web FontFonts, it's sometimes tricky to decide which web font is the best fit for your online brand presence. To provide a little inspiration and help you choose, we've brought together a selection of in-use cases of our top ten most popular web fonts that have caught our eye recently.
FF Meta & FF Meta Serif
The marvellous FF Meta and FF Meta Serif, Erik Spiekermann's No-Brainer, feature on this great site Parse by How. Parse is a real smörgåsbord of design content; they scour the web to bring together what they call design 'tapas for the brain'.
One of our bestsellers and a real classic typeface, FF DIN, features on the Budget 4 Change website. The thin horizontal strokes and fluent curves of FF DIN provide a sober and solid tone to the site which is dedicated to mapping, tracking and analyzing donor government budgets against official development assistance.
FF Unit & FF Unit Slab
Evolution, Revolution, Solution. That is the simple philosophy behind Typolution, the 'purely' typographical website that covers the latest developments, innovations and advancements in the industry (all in German). The site uses our very own FF Unit for the body text and FF Unit Slab for the headers, offering a cool yet disciplined tone.
FF Dax
FF Dax adorns the official team fan page of the football club Juventus, the site is the go-to resource for Juventus fans to join the community of supporters and buy a subscription.
FF Scala & FF Scala Sans
The website for the VRB (Vorratsgesellschaft) organization based in Germany is set in one of the bestselling and most serious text faces, the formidable FF Scala and FF Scala Sans. The VRB offers 'off the' Shelf Companies and legal advice.
FF Tisa & FF Tisa Sans
Espen Dreyer is a Norwegian freelance photographer and his website packed full of lovely snapshots. Set in one of our most prolific Web FontFonts, FF Tisa and the recently released FF Tisa Sans.
FF Kievit
The new start-up Blossom, offers a brand new product management tool and features Mike Abbink's FF Kievit which offers a clean and open touch to their site.
FF Clan
The website of the Red Bull Music Academy Radio really packs a punch with the use of the strong and powerful FF favorite, FF Clan which was designed by Łukasz Dziedzic.
FF Fago
The mighty fine FF Fago, one of our super families designed by Ole Schäfer, provides a conscious corporate air to the online presence of the green energy project, RegModHarz.
FF Dagny
Two Arms Inc are a team of two, who combine illustration and design in a delightful manner. Based in Brooklyn they are famed for their passion for screenprinting. Their website employs FF Dagny, by Örjan Nordling and Göran Söderström. Great minds think alike, as we use it on our site too!
We've recently received some lovely examples of FontFonts in-use. Keep 'em coming! If you've used a FF in a recent project and you'd like to be featured on our site, please email firstname.lastname@example.com
In-use: FF Unit in action at the Aviva Stadium
Aviva Stadium's signage system is set in FontFont's FF Unit typeface, designed by Erik Spiekermann and Christian Schwartz. Aviva Stadium hosts football and rugby matches, and is also a venue for concerts and other activities. Located in Dublin, Ireland, the stadium opened in 2010 and was designed by Populous in association with Scott Tallon Walker. The signage was designed by Populous Activate. We spoke with Alex Dale, a Senior Graphic Designer in their London office, to get more details about the project.
'Before anything else, I wanted to use something that was inherently well-crafted', Dale told us. 'I wanted to avoid the safe signage choices, and select something a little more unusual and characterful. A unique building deserved a unique typeface. Overall, FF Unit lends itself to alphanumeric information systems – where numerals and letters are seen in isolation – for several reasons:
'The medium weight is the ideal boldness to reverse out of a dark background, while having all the other weights is useful for things like maps, where you need to communicate lots of different levels of information .
'The default overall fit (or letterspacing) works 'right out of the box', in that it's relatively loose compared to some other fonts. A pet peeve of mine is typography on signage set too tight, or not attended to at all.
'The capitals are recognisable in isolation, which was really useful when it came to labelling the entrances. For instance, the 'I' has serifs top and bottom that disambiguate it from a '1' or an 'l'. Maybe not critical to the success of the system as a whole – people will find their door, eventually – but looking after these things communicates a broader concern for clarity and unambiguity. People pick up on these things and feel looked after.
'The typeface includes gorgeous numerals, with tabular versions, which are ideal for setting number-heavy information.
'The alternate glyphs, which we used on the prohibited items signage, let us set nice big, heavy, imposing titles quite tightly, like a proper newspaper headline.
'FF Unit has arrows for all the weights, built right in! A godsend for directional information.
'The characters are fairly tall and narrow, which suited the tall, narrow proportions of the signs. We wanted to minimise the footprint of the signs themselves, because pedestrian space is always at a premium in these kind of environments, while still being readable from a good distance.'
FF Unit is the grown-up, no-nonsense sister of Spiekermann's FF Meta typeface. FF Unit has been extended with two companion families: FF Unit Slab and FF Unit Rounded. Spiekermann himself is no stranger to signage systems. During the early-1990s, he designed the reunified Berlin's transit system signage, which uses the FF Transit typeface. FF Info was created for a redesign at the airport in Düsseldorf.permalink
The a|ɑ-Team
Every now and then we are asked for typefaces containing alternative characters – the first letter of the alphabet is especially interesting in this respect as the Latin script knows two forms of the lower case a: the double-storey a is one of the most distinctive letters in a typeface while the single-storey a is rather neutral and decent. So you can considerably change the character of a typeface by simply swapping just one letter.
Thanks to OpenType both forms can be contained in one font and the user can easily switch between the two forms (in applications that support OT layout features, like Adobe's Creative Suite for instance). Many of the innovative FontFonts offer this opportunity:
- FF Advert
- FF Basic Gothic
- FF Chambers Sans
- FF Dagny
- FF DIN Round
- FF Duper
- FF Jackie
- FF Karbid Slab
- FF Karbid Text
- FF Lance
- FF Nuvo
- FF Nuvo Mono
- FF Profile
- FF Schulbuch Nord
- FF Super Grotesk
- FF Unit
- FF Unit Rounded

New release: FF53
BERLIN, GERMANY, June 2010 – FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
FF Amman came into existence as Yanone's graduation project at Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany. In late 2008, Yanone set out to Amman, the capital of Jordan, following an invitation by Ahmad Humeid from the local design and branding office Syntax. They were to re-brand the capital's municipality in preparation of Amman's centennial celebrations.
First and main part of Yanone's diptychon »Amman The FFilm« about the making of the FF Amman typeface for Jordan's capital on occasion of its centennial celebrations in 2009.
Never officially commissioned as a custom typeface, it was rather a birthday present from Syntax and Yanone for Amman, and the perfect university graduation project for Yanone. In the end, the typeface with several typographic novelties has been widely used for all kinds of municipal services in Amman. The family consists of seven sans and four serif weights, each with their true Italics and both Latin and Arabic character sets. It is one of the largest bilingual families ever made, one of the few designed bilingually from scratch and the first containing true Arabic Italics.
FF DIN Round — This welcome addition to FontFont's most popular family brings a softness to FF DIN's simplicity and industrial sterility. FF DIN Round is more than a "search-and-replace" rounded version of its predecessor. Albert-Jan Pool and his team redrew each letterform to maintain the structure of the original. This ensures FF DIN and FF DIN Round will work well together in logos, slogans, price tags, etc. as compatible parts of advertising campaigns and corporate identities.
FF DIN Round is not only a good companion to FF DIN, its smooth and friendly curves make it work on its own for branding strategies for family cars, bikes, household appliances, sportswear, shoes, or medical products. It's also very legible on screen.
FF Suhmo is inspired by classic Egyptian and typewriter fonts such as Courier and American Typewriter, which feature headline and text use. This impressive duality was Alex Rütten's guideline for the concept of FF Suhmo. At the same time, many formal details were derived from the typical neon-lettering you can find on aged Italian restaurants in Germany. FF Suhmo has short ascenders and descenders and a generous x-height, making it a good choice for editorial design. It combines simplicity and functionality with playfulness, offering interesting details such as loops and swashes and a slight stroke contrast. Its varied details are unobtrusive in text sizes while developing character and sparkle in headlines.
FF Suhmo's extensive character set includes numerous special characters and ligatures, several figure sets and small caps throughout all styles. The family consists of 4 weights: Light, Regular, Bold and Black, each with an Italic. The weights were staggered to complement each other within a layout, the Black corresponding to the Regular and the Light corresponding to the Bold weight, allowing words or phrases to be clearly stressed within a text. The Italics are lighter than the Roman and have a relatively slight angle of slope. The forms are derived from a manual writing process and often cross the base-line or the x-height.read more
New release: FF49
BERLIN, GERMANY, July 2009 - FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
FF Dagny™ — In 2002, the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter (DN) changed from broadsheet to tabloid – a change that came along with a major impact on DN's journalism, editing and design. Pangea design's Creative Director, Örjan Nordling, had already worked with DN as a design consultant in 1996. In 2000, DN had been redesigned under the leadership of Dr. Mario Garcia. For the new design Nordling had created DN Bodoni exclusively for Dagens Nyheter. The change to tabloid called for a more compact setting and Pangea design was commissioned to produce a matching sans serif for Sweden's largest daily newspaper. This became DN Grotesk which now has evolved into FF Dagny.
For the FontFont library Nordling and Göran Söderström made several adjustments, the contrast in stroke thickness was reduced for better legibility in small sizes and characters were redesigned together with the FontFont Type Department. The family now includes a range of consistent weights from Thin to Black making it perfect for use in body text and all kind of other applications. The name Dagny is an abbreviation of Dagens Nyheter as well as an old nordic female name meaning "new day".
FF Duper™ — Martin Wenzel's original idea from 1998 evolved into a kind of informal FF Profile in the end. The new FF Duper has a home-made touch, but provides of course all typographic qualities of a contemporary OpenType font. FF Duper consists of Regular, Bold, Regular Italic and Bold Italic weights, supports more than 60 languages, has several figure sets and fractions and includes alternative forms for a, g and y as well as a set of arrows, bullets and ornaments. And there is a special extra: All weights contain three versions of each glyph and via an OpenType feature the three alternatives are used in succession, treating vowels and consonents separately and recognizing even spaces between words for a lively and hand-made appearance of the typed text. Preliminary versions of the typeface have already been successful in education and school projects, but there are surely more areas where FF Duper perfectly fits in.
FF Kava™ started out as a free typeface called Kaffeesatz, published by Yanone in 2004 during the early stages of his type designing career. The bold weight was reminiscent of coffeehouse grotesk typefaces of the 1920s, while the lighter versions were supposed to bridge the gap to contemporary type design.
The current FF Kava family is a carefully revised, more rounded version of the old Kaffeesatz fonts. A black weight has been added as well as small caps and more figure sets to form now an attractive modern and soft sans serif type family.
FF Unit® Slab: When Kris Sowersby, Christian Schwartz and Erik Spiekermann were designing the parameters for FF Meta Serif, they spent quite some time on details like the thickness and the shape of the serifs – should the face veer towards a slab with blocky, heavy serifs or should it be more of a traditional book face? In the end, they went for a "normal" serif face with fairly solid serifs, but some thick-thin contrast and counters that aren't totally parallel to the outside shape of the letters. Stronger and thus more useful than Times New Roman while not as constructed as Rockwell.read more

Ed Schultz's Sub Lumps in Conservatives with Mao Zedong and People Who Wanted to 'Murder' Galileo, Copernicus
When Ed Schultz takes a vacation, the guest hosts may be even weirder. On MSNBC, it's been the Al Sharpton Hour. On the radio on Thursday, it was conservative-bashing trial lawyer Mike Papantonio. The man was on such a tear about textbook revisions in Texas that he was comparing conservatives to Mao Zedong:
The GOP teabag-type conservatives are pushing education in the same kind of direction that Mao Zedong pushed China when he wrote history, rewrote the history, changed the history of China by destroying books and terrorizing intellectuals who disagree with his crazy, cryptic, conservative view of the world. See, conservatives don't, Mao Zedong was the ultimate conservative. He was afraid of everything.
But Mao may have been too modern an inspiration. Minutes earlier, the Tea Party was just like medieval people who wanted to "murder" Galileo and Copernicus:
So the same conservatives back then, who were called Tories, are really no different from the same conservatives we have today that call themselves teabaggers. They only can accept what they know. ... Understand, it was the same kind of inflexible, frantic bunch of social political conservatives who wanted to murder Galileo. They wanted to murder Copernicus. Because those two men had ideas that were different from the world that conservative knew. And now we're only a thousand years later and we have the same conservatives in charge of the idea that change is terrifying.
It's only natural then that the hero of the Texas textbook activists was "Red-baiting" Joe McCarthy:
Their conservative hero that they want to put into children's books, their conservative hero that they want to demand are (sic) in textbooks, well he ruined the lives of hundreds of decent scientists, writers, actors, politicians, clergy. He created a Cold War hysteria that dwarfed the Salem witch hunt. And God knows, teabagger conservatives love hysteria.
Since Papantonio's so enjoying the "teabagger" moniker, perhaps we should ask that when Papantonio unfairly bashes conservatives, can we call it a "Pap smear"?
