SANDY, Utah — Chris Wondolowski is making a case that he should be included in the United States roster when World Cup qualifying resumes in September.
Wondolowski — with his jersey name spelled correctly this time — scored two more goals to raise his total to five in two matches, and the Americans overcame a slow start to beat Cuba 4-1 Saturday and clinch a berth in the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals.
Landon Donovan tied the score late in the first half when he converted his second penalty kick of the tournament for his 53rd international goal. Joe Corona got his first international goal early in the second, and Stuart Holden made his first start in nearly three years for the U.S., which has reached the quarterfinals of all 12 Gold Cups.
While Wondolowski has led or tied Major League Soccer in goals for three straight seasons, he hadn't scored for the national team in 11 appearances before getting his first in an exhibition win over Guatemala on July 5.

"I'm very confident in my play," Wondolowski said. "Just even getting the goals is so huge."
Wondolowski scored a first-half hat trick in Tuesday's 6-1 win over Belize, when his jersey was misspelled "Wondowlowski." He started this match on the bench, then replaced Herculez Gomez in the 58th and scored the final two goals in the 66th and 85th minutes. Superstitious, he had an extra "W" stitched on the inside of his jersey.
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said the 30-year-old San Jose forward was a bit disappointed he wasn't in the starting 11.
"He's hungry, and he's working a lot," Klinsmann said. "It's not only that he has the instincts to know where the ball will be in the box. It's also the runs he makes to open things up."
Wondolowski, Donovan and Holden all are making a case to be included in the player pool for World Cup qualifiers at Costa Rica on Sept. 6 and at home against Mexico four days later.
Donovan, a veteran of three World Cups, hadn't played for the national team in 11 months before the Guatemala match because of injuries and a four-month sabbatical from soccer that ended in late March.
Holden made his first start for the U.S. since an exhibition against Colombia on Oct. 12, 2010. A knee injury the following March sustained from a tackle by Manchester United's Jonny Evans limited Holden, a Bolton midfielder, to one club match in the next 22 months.
Costa Rica 1, Belize 0
Costa Rica advanced to the Gold Cup quarterfinals thanks to an own goal by Belize's Dalton Eiley in the 49th minute. The win in Sandy, Utah, assured the Ticos of playing their quarterfinal in Baltimore on July 21.
Costa Rica (2-0) plays the United States (2-0) on Tuesday at East Hartford, Conn., in a match that will determine the Group C winner.
At Timbers 2, Galaxy 1
Andrew Jean-Baptiste scored in stoppage time to give Portland a late winner.
Jean-Baptiste's header got past Los Angeles goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini with under two minutes remaining after Ryan Johnson had evened the score at 1-1 in the 27th minute. Portland moved into second place in the Western Conference behind Real Salt Lake.
At Red Bulls 4, Impact 0
Thierry Henry had a goal and two assists to help New York rout visiting Montreal.
Eric Alexander, Tim Cahill and Peguy Luyindula also scored for the Red Bulls.
Dynamo 2, at Revolution 1
Adam Moffatt scored two second-half goals to lead Houston over host New England.
At Sporting KC 3, Toronto FC 0
Soony Saad scored twice, his first goals in almost two years, and Kansas City moved into first place in the Eastern Conference. Claudio Bieler also scored for Sporting, which ran its unbeaten streak to five in front of a Sporting Park-record crowd of 21,126.
Real Salt Lake 3, at FC Dallas 0
Javier Morales scored a goal and set up two more as Salt Lake stayed unbeaten through eight games as Dallas lost at home for the first time this year.
U-20 World Cup
France won the Under-20 World Cup for the first time, beating Uruguay 4-1 on penalty kicks after a 0-0 tie in the final in Istanbul. France is the sixth European champion In the 36-year history of the event.

Local Vulnerabilities in Current Kernels
Recent kernel versions back to the older kernel 2.6.17 may contain a vulnerability that can be exploited by local attackers.
Although a fix for the vulnerability is now available, the solution does not seem to be totally secure. A vulnerability gives local attackers the ability to manipulate or hijack the system. Network attackers are said not to work. The vulnerability has been confirmed in kernel versions 2.6.17 through 184.108.40.206. A new kernel version, 2.24.2, was released Monday, however, the developers were not entirely sure if the vulnerability had really been removed. The current developer kernel 2.6.25 is said to have reliably fixed the security bug.
The bug was caused by pointer handling in programs. The "vmsplice" function, which was affected, was introduced with kernel 2.6.17. It supports faster transfer between various memory areas. The vulnerability was caused by incorrect validation by the "vmsplice_to_user()", "copy_from_user_mmap_sem()" and "get_iovec_page_array()" functions prior to performing memory operations. Under certain circumstances attackers could use a carefully crafted call to "vmsplice()" to read or write to kernel memory space.

The BBC is reporting that the Royal Household is looking for a trainee butler.
The role pays £15,000 a year (a pretty low wage for London, honestly, but imagine who your boss is!) for a 45-hour week, and could lead to a City & Guilds Diploma for Butlers.
The official job description outlines the purpose of the role: "To provide the highest standards in the service of wine, food, valeting, messenger duties and reception in a friendly and efficient manner."
The trainee butler's responsibilities would include:
- Assisting in the setting, clearing and serving of meals
- Valeting for guests and royals, "ensuring that clothes and uniforms are cared for to the highest standards"
- Messenger duties, "ensuring that all post, pouches, despatch boxes and messages are delivered to Members of the Royal Family and employees in a timely manner"
- "To collect and deliver tea/coffee trays, breakfast trays and newspapers for Royal and Household purposes in an efficient and discreet manner"
One would assume that the position is only open to British citizens.

No Passport For The Body Art Man
Mathew Whelan is an angry man. This perambulating kaleidoscope of color is Britain's most tattooed man and he has been refused a UK passport. This has really got under his multi-colored skin. The UK Government's Guidelines for passport photos clearly states that a photo will be rejected unless "they show you without anything covering the face…without a head covering" and "without red eye," and you might think that Mathew's mug-shot was thrown out because he failed one of those criteria. But no, although his face is almost totally covered in ink and he has even had one of his eyeballs tattooed, Mathew Whelan's application was kicked out because of his name.
It seems Mr. Whelan, who hails from the Midlands city of Birmingham, can't leave anything about himself unchanged. Not satisfied with spending £25,000 having 90 percent of his body pictorially embellished in 2007 and again in 2009, he decided to change his name by Deed Poll to "King of Ink Land King Body Art The Extreme Ink-Ite." Wow, I think that needs a user friendly short form don't you? He is often called Body Art for short, but I think I prefer "Ite." So come on mate, calm down – if you were here now, I would say, "sshhhh Ite, don't get so upset." Yes, the passport office turned him down not because of his looks, but due to the name change. A spokeswoman for the passport office said, "When an applicant changes his or her name to a string of words or phrases that would not normally be recognised as a name, this should not be entered onto the personal details page of the passport."
It seems Mathew can have his passport if he uses his birth name, but he his digging his heels in saying that's not his real name and that his human rights have been breached. When he applied for a Driving License using his new name, it was accepted and now he has written to the passport office asking why the Driver Vehicle Licensing Authority can accept it, but it is not acceptable for a passport. He has also enlisted the help of his local Member of Parliament, John Hemming, who has taken up the case. Mathew is particularly disappointed at the refusal of a passport because he had been offered a job overseas doing "body modification."
The story was originally covered in the Birmingham Mail and picked up by the Daily Mirror, which features a not very inspiring video of Mathew turning his head from side to side, showing off his tattooed head.
Changing your name is not as easy as it seemed at first for Mathew and, apart from the "string of words" clause, name changes can be rejected for other reasons. Passports can be refused if the name change is frivolous, done for a bet or "on a whim," or if it was for commercial gain. Other name-changers have suffered a similar fate, including a woman who became "Mrs. Pudsey Bear" after the teddy bear that is the emblem of Britain's annual fund raising day Children in Need, and a certain Samantha Holloway who became "HMP Holloway" after that esteemed establishment – Her Majesty's Prison Holloway – which is a famous womens' prison in London. Around the world other banned names have included "4Real," "Cinderella Beauty Blossom," and, my pick of the bunch "Talula Does The Hula" from Hawaii.

No one ever said the search for fossil fuels in increasingly hard-to-reach places was easy. As part of their quest to keep the oil and gas industry on top, drilling companies blast sound waves into the ocean depths with crazy-powerful airguns, looking for new scores. Sound travels through water quite well, far better than light, and is capable of covering great distances. So it's a useful tool for humans looking to mine the sea; but for the whales, dolphins, and fish that live and swim in the blast radius, the noise is more than an annoying nuisance. It can be a killer.
The airguns are capable of detonating every 10 to 12 seconds and are about as loud as dynamite (which, it so happens, was how the industry used to perform these acoustic treasure hunts). According to the Natural Resource Defense Council -- which publishes OnEarth -- a single seismic survey can interrupt the calls and singing of endangered fin and humpback whales over an area of at least 100,000 square nautical miles. For reference, if the array were in Washington, D.C. (and the country was underwater), it could put whale voices on mute from New York to North Carolina.
Of course, it's not just about cetacean songs. Biologists from Cornell call this underwater noise pollution "acoustic smog." Studies have shown that it interferes with the ability of many ocean dwellers to reproduce, hunt, avoid predators, migrate, and communicate. And in extreme cases, the noise can kill some animals outright from shock. The practice affects at least 55 marine species, including several endangered whales and 20 commercially valuable kinds of fish. Do you hear the rumbling now? It's our stomachs.
Oil and gas companies cruising around with their boom boxes blaring is a particular problem in the Gulf of Mexico, where sea life is still trying to recover from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. That's why, following the 2010 disaster, a coalition of environmental groups (including NRDC) sued the Interior Department and representatives of Big Oil to force them -- under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act -- to reconsider their methods of sonic testing. Just last week, a major settlement agreement was reached.
As the oil and gas industry waits for the government to complete an environmental review of seismic exploration (could be a while…), it has agreed to:
- Prohibit airgun blasting in biologically important areas -- places like DeSoto Canyon, which scientists have deemed crucial for sperm whales, Bryde's whales, and the Gulf's only resident population of large baleen whales
- Prohibit airgun exploration in coastal waters during the main calving season for bottlenose dolphins
- Enforce mandatory minimum distances between surveys
- Extend the government's existing mitigation measures to cover the entire Gulf and add manatees to the list of species protected
- Use passive listening devices to detect the presence of affected species when visibility is reduced
- Compel industry to undergo a multi-year R&D project to develop and test a lower-impact alternative to airguns known as marine vibroseis, or marine vibrators (easy now!)
- Evaluate whether airgun surveys are unnecessarily redundant in intensity or distribution
"The BP drilling disaster provided graphic images of oiled marine mammal carcasses, delivering tragic proof of the harm oil companies can do to Gulf wildlife by cutting corners," says Cynthia Sarthou, the executive director of the Gulf Restoration Network in a press release. "This agreement won't magically make drilling safer, but it will increase the chances that our amazing whales and dolphins can continue to recover. I think the dolphins are doing backflips today." That is, if they can hear the news over all that racket.

Hello all,
I'm running 5.0.13 OSE on Mac OS X Server, using external authentication to our separate Open Directory-based LDAP server (Mac OS X Server 10.4). I'm planning on switching to a new LDAP server, running on Mac OS X Server 10.5. The LDAP configurations are similar, but if I make the necessary changes to the URL and LDAP search base to our primary domain's authentication settings, should I have anything to worry about as far as "Bob Smith's" account staying with him? In other words, is there a unique identifier (GUID) that Zimbra's using to attach "bsmith" to his account on the server that Zimbra's getting from our older LDAP server, or should I be able to simply switch to the new LDAP server, and no one would be the wiser?

Could someone post some highlights for those who couldn't catch this on the radio.
coach just talked about some of the layers that were coming in and also talked about why he hired TJ.. and the reason is simple.. Greg had known him for a long time and Tj ahd went to the UNI camps and helped out there.. and when he got the offer to run the aau camps greg told him to take it so when greg became a coach at isu he decided that TJ was perfect..
he also talked about his view of ppl leaving
w/ WIll and Curtis in his view they were good as gone if he came or not
w/ Carr he had quit b4 he was there any way
w/ Mike he was already considerin leavin b4 greg was hired because he knew he was in way over his head
so that leaves FD and Tags
RD had a relationship with Coach Morgan and only wanted to play w/ Morgan
Tags had a relationship w/ Coach M and w/ Carr and so he just didnt feel like he fitted in any more
and thats about all i remember
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
Appreciate the update...
Was there any mention of this year's recruiting class being completed or did he leave the door open for more to come?
I also wonder if the quality of walk-ons might improve now that McD is here.
he didnt really talk about if the class was done but from the tone of his voice it seems like we are done 4 the year and he is very happy w/ it right now
i believe he said something to the effect that he was gonna play next year with 9 scholarship players and have 4 open for the next year.
Also the connection he has to Oetzelberger(sp?) is that asst coach Rutter was his coach in college.
I'm actually pretty happy with banking the schollies, i have seen some of the players we have on the interested list and they look like they have some potential. Its nice to keep our options open.
God Bless America
I think having 4 open for next year should allow for a great recruiting class!

Deace is on KXNO. I believe the website is kxno.com. His show runs from 3-6 m-f.
I don't believe they podcast his show.
No, they don't podcast it, although I have been bothering KXNO to get on the ball about that. But hey, they just got an internet broadcast of it so they are advancing.
Yeah, if you go to KXNO.com, you can listen to Deace's show on a stream over the internet. I like this because I get crappy reception ont he show anyway even though I live in Iowa.

I would be happy banking the scholarships, except for the fact that we are reallly thin in the middle. We really need a big body. I'd be much happier if we had Stiggers or Love even though both have their issues.
Agreed. I was hoping for Stiggers because of the wide body.
Love has signed an LOI with UT-SA. No one really kows much about Stiggers but that ship has probably sailed. Will have 4 schollies for 2007 as it stands now and we are in on some guys who's stock is QUICKLY rising.
Did not Stiggers sign as of 17 May somewhere. Or is he just walking on after the period closes?

I didn't get it at first when Kevin Durant and hip hop artist Rihanna had some weird connection going on in the middle of a potential series-clincher for the Thunder. Rihanna was sitting courtside at Thunder-Clippers Game 6.
Pink, err, Rihanna (with Pink hair) yelling something at Durant and pointing at him as Westbrook shot free throws. Kevin looks and grins.

Reap on, reaper RT @SpearsNBAYahoo: Durant nails three, looks in Rihanna's direction, shimmies and pushes Thunder up 87-80 with 6:46 left. — Erik Horne (@ErikHorneOK) May 16, 2014
When I first read that stuff on Twitter, it looked like either some mid-game flirting (possible) or like Rihanna was talking smack (also possible).
Then it all made sense. Rap mogul Jay Z represents Durant via Roc Nation Sports. Rihanna is under the Roc Nation label umbrella run by Jay Z. I'm admittedly not a hip hop connoisseur, but I probably should have known this.
Rihanna is also the on-again-off-again girlfriend of rapper Drake — who's also friendly with Durant — so there's that, too. Durant's has even said that if he could start a record label, he'd sign both artists.
Rihanna offered support to Durant and the Thunder on Twitter following the game.
Congrats to my R.O.C. brother @KDTrey5 !!! Great game tonight OKC
— Rihanna (@rihanna) May 16, 2014
I don't know what's more impressive:
1. That Durant dropped 39 points, 16 rebounds and five assists in a closeout game without Serge Ibaka, and with Russell Westbrook struggling, or
2. That Durant did all that while going back-and-forth with a pink-haired lady in the middle of a closeout game.
I guess that's why he's the MVP.

A swimming pool desperately needed
Now is the time for building a pool for school and community use, as the editorial of the Jan 7-9 issue clearly justifies. It is worth adding to the points made in the editorial, especially with regard to a pool being a significant resource for athletes.
The region has a rich and expanding circle of talented amateur and professional athletes, many of whom focus on triathlons and other multi-sport activity. There is rapidly growing interest in multi-sport coaching and training nationally and locally. The Rehoboth Beach area could easily become a hub for multi-sport training, but the potential is severely impeded by the absence of aquatic resources.
As pointed out, the region's only pool, at the Sussex Family YMCA, serves a host of constituencies and there is growing competition among them for pool time. The times available for athletes to use the pool, in the manner their training requires, is very limited and inflexible and seems a relatively low priority in the pool's scheduled use. Some of our dedicated athletes are traveling to other resources in places such as Bethany and Dover to capture swim time that is critical to their achievement.
Failing to build the resources that would create an attractive destination for trainers, coaches, competitors and their families and friends would stand in the way of capturing many opportunities for the immediate region.

January 16, 1999
Game Data: Tulane (6-7) and UNO (10-7) meet for the fifth consecutive season in the Superdome at the Nokia Sugar Bowl Basketball Classic . . . Since the 1975-76 season, Tulane is 11-25 (.306) all-time in the Superdome, but has won five of its last seven in the building.
On the Air: The Tulane Basketball Network will broadcast every Tulane regular season game. The flagship station is 50,000-watt WWL-AM 870 in New Orleans. "Voice of the Green Wave" Ken Berthelot is in his 10th year on the men's basketball broadcasts. Additionally, two of Tulane's regular season games will be televised regionally this season. ESPN Regional will carry the Feb. 6 game with South Florida, while ABC-TV will televise the Feb. 21 contest at North Carolina State.
Tulane Head Coach Perry Clark: Perry Clark is in his tenth year as the Green Wave head coach with a record of 159-126 (.558). Clark has guided Tulane to five 20-win seasons and six postseason appearances (3 NCAA, 3 NIT). He was the 1992 National Coach of the Year and a two time Metro Conference Coach of the Year (1991, 1992). Only one other coach in school history has more wins or a longer tenure. He is assisted by Julius Smith, Greg Gary and Kim Lewis. Clark is 4-4 against New Orleans.
The Series: Tonight's game is the 32nd meeting of the series with Tulane holding a 17-14 advantage. The Privateers have won the last two meetings, including a 66-61 win on Dec. 22 last season. Tulane has won four of the last six games in the series, which dates back to 1973, and seven of the last 11. Tulane is 6-3 in games played uptown, 5-5 at the lakefront campus and 6-6 in neutral-site games. See page 89 in the Tulane media guide for more series information.
Scouting New Orleans: The Privateers enter play this evening with a 10-7 record after Thursday's 70-52 loss at Arkansas State. UNO has played well since the start of December, winning nine of its last 12 games. As a team, UNO shoots 42.9 percent (382-890) from the field, 68 percent form the line (208-of-306) and is being outrebounded by an average of 3.3 boards per game. Individually, the squad is led by the 1998 Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year, Tory Walker, who averages 11.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.
Steal Away: The Green Wave defense continues to do a fine job of forcing turnovers and collecting steals. In Thursday's game at Memphis, Tulane forced the Tigers into 24 turnovers, marking the seventh time this season that an opponent has turned it over 20 or more times. In addition, the Wave collected a season-high 20 steals at Memphis. That figure equals the fourth-best single game effort in Tulane history. Tulane's 11.8 steals per game are tops in Conference USA, while its +3.46 turnover margin ranks fourth.
Off the Mark: One statistic that has plagued Tulane of late has been its shooting percentage. In its last five games, the team is shooting 38.5 percent (116-of-301) from the field. In fact, Tulane has shot less than 40 percent in four of those five games. In its first eight games of the year, Tulane shot 45.3 percent from the field. Overall, the team carries a 42.6 field goal percentage.
Prince of Thieves: Freshman Waitari Marsh continues to make his presence known at both ends of the floor. In Thursday's game at Memphis, Marsh collected a game-high seven steals, which tied him for third on the school's single-game steals list. Marsh is tied for the Conference USA lead with 2.60 steals per game in league play. The Chicago native also contributes on the offensive end, as his 3.40 assists per game average ranks eighth in C-USA play.
Breaking Out: After suffering through a bit of a shooting slump, sophomore Byron Mouton showed signs of coming out of it on Thursday. Mouton hit 7-of-14 shots from the floor en route to a season-high 21 points. He is the third player on the squad to register a 20-point game this season (Jordan twice, Davis once). Mouton also equaled a season high with five boards against Memphis.
Production Off the Bench: Sophomore Ledaryl Billingsley played another strong game on Thursday, registering 14 points and six rebounds. The forward set a career high with six field goals vs. the Tigers and equaled season highs with six rebounds and 23 minutes played. He has scored in double figures in two of his last three games. In that span, Billingsley is averaging 10 points and five rebounds.
On the Glass: Freshman Linton Johnson has proven himself to be a worthy rebounder. In just 11 minutes against Memphis, Johnson grabbed four rebounds (all offensive) to boost his season total to 35. His 35 rebounds rank fifth on the team, and his 21 offensive boards stand fourth. Johnson averages 2.7 rebounds per game and if he played 40 minutes per game, he would average 11.4 boards per contest.
Up Next:
Tulane returns to Conference USA action with a game at UAB on Thursday, Jan. 21. Tip-off at Bartow Arena is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

#4. "The Raven"
In "The Raven," John Cusack stars as 19th century writer Edgar Allan Poe, an author with a dark and troubled past remembered for horror stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Pit and the Pendulum" as well as for spearheading the detective fiction genre. Cusack's no-holds-barred turn as Poe recalls his adventurous roles in "Being John Malkovich" and "High Fidelity," unpredictable performances miles away from his recent work. The film, helmed by James McTeigue ("V for Vendetta"), takes Poe's mysterious death as a jumping off point for a fictionalized account of the writer's last days, during which Poe is tasked with helping track down a serial killer whose gruesome murders mirrors those in Poe's own stories.
READ MORE: John Cusack Talks Playing Edgar Allen Poe
Extras: Audio commentary with McTeigue and the film's producers; deleted and extended scenes; and a number of featurettes that delve into the making of the film.
#5. "30 Beats"
A loose and heated adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's "La Ronde," this low-budget indie centers on ten disparate New Yorkers on the hunt for a sexual encounter during a summer heat wave. Condola Rashad (daughter to actress Phylicia Rashad) Jennifer Tilly, Lee Pace, Paz de la Huerta and Justin Kirk all star.

Explaining January's Volatility In One Chart

Explaining January's Volatility In One Chart
In a month of disturbing images from troubled countries in all parts of the developing world, the biggest threat to the global economy may have been lurking in the shadows (via Google Trends)
For more on recent shenanigans in China's shadow banking sector, click here. Also, this link has an interesting account of excesses in the market for bankers acceptance notes, in particular.
Note that we excluded China from the conclusions of Thursday's post, "Fear the Equity Bubble, but Don't Sweat the Emerging Market Crisis." It's a little late for early-year predictions, but here's one for sometime in the next few years if not 2014: Richard Koo becomes the most sought after economics pundit and possibly the world's most famous economist after China's epic balance sheet expansion morphs into the mother of all balance sheet recessions.

You haven't explained January's volatility with that chart at all. The chart shows that more people are becoming interested and aware of 2 of the symptoms.
Indeed.Maybe your focus should be on the shadow banking
system right here in the West.
If the ever increasing reverse repos are not sign of severe stress
in the SBS, then I am really Winston Churchill. reincarnated.
China I think is a symptom of this problem, not vice a versa.
just asking: who the fuck can anyone believe anymore?
speculating on lies is a fools game-good luck with that...
if they all believe in the same lie, your a contrarian trade ahead
Correct me if I am wrong but wouldn't worldwide search volume be a lagging indicator, or at best a coincident indicator.
China makes us look solvent.
Yep. Only two? Lets add 'pomo' 'fed' & 'obama' search trends to the list. I think those three will blow the two in the chart away...
Any more to add?
I don't think there would be any sort of Chinese Shadow Banking crisis if we in the west hadn't moved most of our manufacturing there and financed the operation with printed fiat federal reserve notes.
china has reserves to handle all there problems for near term-called savings!(foriegn reserves).
china has all the problems of centrally planned corrupt regime. aren't they all.
plus they can start dumping treasuries and fuck us over in a heartbeat.
and putting tons of gold in vaults.(if what we read is true)!
who is sucking hind tit?
as i recall, he/she who has the wealth with no debt, calls the shots...
Using the economy as a WMD is different from having a strong economy as a national security concern.
I do believe that the best means of dealing with a competitor is to do business with them.
With that said ... If China implodes ... it might be tough sledding.
If China implodes it will because we are no longer able to buy their mass/cheaply manufactured crapola because the consumer in the west will be all tapped out IMO. I think this is well underway because of the Baltic Dry index and the revenues/earnings and guidance of big retailers lately. Unless that is because of the cold winter hehe.
what is banking again? is that like
movie making or jazz music?
The Mandrake Mechanism-(How the Fed Creates Money)
The Creature from Jekyll Island -Book Excerpt ^ | May 1998 | G. Edward Griffin
".. Congressman Wright Patman, who was Chairman of that committee, asked how the Fed got the money to purchase two billion dollars worth of government bonds in 1933. This is the exchange that followed.
ECCLES: We created it.
PATMAN: Out of what?
ECCLES: Out of the right to issue credit money.
PATMAN: And there is nothing behind it, is there, except our government's credit?
ECCLES: That is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn't be any money."
Made a ton this week scalping VIX - thanks GS/JPM for fucking with the markets.
Spend a few hours in this market folks - moves really quickly - no stops.
Make a ton and fuck GS and JPM in the process.
One is very concerned about the shadow banking issues of the country with the largest foreign reserves, number one in world trade volume, number one in manufacturing capacity, number one in exports of real goods and with 4 trillion dollars in tax havens around the world. Yes, that is exactly the place which should worry western bankers when their financial products are being challenged by a gold backed yuan. What could they possibly fall back on if some chippy lenders are compelled to swallow the consequences of their bad decisions. Much better to print.
Why are the "big monies" fleeing China to various tax havens?
This strikes me as a major capital flow problem.
Just watch that shiny thing over there.
No problem for the Chinese to scrap their whole system and
restart.They have lots of recent experience doing that.
.Now the have the hard assets,so kindly exported from the west.
Maybe a gold backed NEW yuan lies in their future.
He who has the gold makes the rules.,ruckers.
The right hand axis should show the search volume amount by click volume. The article's links are more scientific, and show how one might draw a correlation to the worldwide search volume of emerging market crisis and the shadow banking of China.
I guess it must even be showing up in the main media propaganda to get so many hits; conundrum-they are ususally a counter indicator.
The chart exemplifies what is going to be "the path of least resistance"
Clive Maund - very sobering:
Our guide for a more definite indication that the wheel is coming off the broad market is the lower blue trendline shown on our 5-year chart for the S&P500 index below – if the market makes a significant breach of this supporting trendline we could see an absolute bloodbath that would quickly go global.
Without volatility on the stock market, how can they force unsuspecting people into "myRA" ? Fed is trying to buy notes and bond itself, but need the MyrA to pick up the pace.

Be Grateful Before, During and Long After Thanksgiving Has Passed
The true meaning of Thanksgiving can easily get lost in translation when we are so focused on the wide array of particulars. Maybe you are the host this year and a dozen family members or more are about to grace your dining table. Perhaps it is you and your own family's turn to pack up the Suburban and trek across the country to be the guests of honor. However you live your Thanksgiving experience, it is easy to forget about thanks and giving. It is often not until grace is said, the wine glasses clink and someone passes the stuffing that we actually relax and feel some gratitude, yet this moment of pure thankfulness doesn't have to be lost when the meal ends and grandma starts loading the dishwasher.
Whether we believe Thanksgiving Day marks a time when the pilgrims and the Indians set aside their need to fight over their differences, or feel it began as a simple celebration of the bountiful fall harvest, it remains a day that reminds us all to practice gratitude.
Each and every one of us can think of something we are grateful for yet our thankfulness is often overshadowed by our busy and hectic schedules before and after Thanksgiving Day. The following reminders will help you to keep feeling gratitude before, during and long after Thanksgiving Day has past so that the other 364 days of the year are filled with just the same amount of joy that being grateful brings.

As media becomes more integrated, their distinctions become irrelevant
Everywhere in this city's social haunts, I see television programming. Go to the nearest coffee shop, and there are people sitting around watching television. In the libraries, people go specifically to watch their TV shows. At school, in the common areas -- and even in the lecture halls, students huddle around programs. People watch anything from the newest Game of Thrones episodes to what could now be called retro Simpsons reruns. Vancouver also has a significant number of people that come from different backgrounds who watch shows in a number of different languages.
But people aren't watching these shows on televisions anymore -- they're watching them on laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
To be fair, people are doing more with their electronics than watch television shows, but these observations fall in line with recent data released by Statistics Canada.
According to Statistics Canada, the 24% of Canadians used computers in their leisure time during 2010 -- compared to 5% in 1998. 73% watch television on any given day, which is a drop from 77%. This shift is even more pronounced in the 15-24-year-old demographic where the number who used computers in their spare time amounted to 32%.
These numbers are probably very conservative in their estimates because Stats Can collected data through telephone surveys that excluded those who only own cell phones; this is a group that represents 13% of the population and that is likely to have a lot of computer use.
This data couldn't be more timely with the CRTC hearings that are happening in Gatineau right now -- where the public regulation body is considering the implementation of broadcasting rules that would influence the type of programming within the big media carriers and over-the-top services such as Netflix and Youtube. The concern is that carriers will be able to tie-up exclusive content in a way that will restrict what customers will be able to see based on who they subscribe with.
According to Pete Nowak, the CRTC should not implement any regulations. If it comes to regulating over-the-top services, in the case of YouTube, "Measuring and controlling the service for Canadian content would probably be next to impossible" -- not to mention the profitability issues, which Google has yet to accomplish. As he describes it, "If the CRTC foolishly decides otherwise and does try to get involved, it will enter its own regulatory form of the Vietnam or Afghanistan war. Its mission will be hopeless and it will be endless."
As far as the big television providers are concerned, if they do begin to restrict programming with exclusive content, this will only quicken the migration to Internet-based content.
What's silly about this whole discussion is that within a generation, all of these discussions will seem ridiculous. As our televisions integrate with computers and Wifi, and as our phones become more like televisions, the distinction between television and Internet is fast-becoming obsolete. Another interesting number that came out of the Stats Can report is that video game use has doubled from 3% to 6%, but with mobile gaming becoming one of the most lucrative markets in the gaming world, it will become increasingly difficult to measure how much time is actually spent playing a round of angry-birds between sending emails.
The integration of technology and media is becoming more pronounced and if the CRTC decides to introduce regulations around content, Canadians will likely turn to online piracy in the form of BiTorrents, which Nowak labels "the ultimate competition."

Apple Picking Time (Dragonfly Books) (1994)
by Michele B. Slawson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Shows migrant worker's family and how they pick apples when they are ripe.
Anna and her family take a day off from school, job, and household work to pick apples for a days work. Since she is a year older from last year her goal is to fill her bin up with apples for her purple ticket to get punched with a half moon. She tells in detail her story how how to pick apples and how her day goes on in a days hard work picking apples.
My Response:
I really liked the pictures and how it came from a little girl's point of view how she seen the day with family and apple picking thru her eyes. It gives a good example of goal setting and determination to reaching it. I would however thought the author should've explained why they like to pick apples.
Classroom Extension:
1)Ask students what goals they may have for the day, week, or future.
2)How would they reach that goal.
A girl goes to work with her parents dring apple picking time on an orchard. By the pictures you. An see that it is during a time that is not our own and a culture that is not our own. At the end of the day the girl gets her purple ticket stamped because she fills her barrel.
Personal reaction:
I liked the graphics of the book. Good use of color. The story was a little weird for me. I think it should have been explained as to why they were all picking apples. The goal for the girl was to get a punch and she succeeded which is good for kids to see.
Classroom extension:
1. Have kids talk about what job they would lIke to do.
2. Have kids talk about the goals they have and why.
This book is about a girl that goes apple picking with her family. This is a family tradition in her family and in the book each member of the family has thier own little role. The The book also shows some family values and how family works together and how family traditions are started. Also the drawings in this book are very comforting. They are very earth warmy colors that really bring you into the story and make you start thinking about Fall. A class room activity that a teacher could do using this book is have the children think of a family tradition that they do in their family. Also he/she could ask the students if they have ever gone apple picking.
A young girl and her family spend a fall day picking apples with others from their small town.

Rhythm is an essential
element in Arab music in general and in Omani music
in particular. It plays a most important and essential
role in Oman's traditional music as it participates
in most of the Sultanate's genres. It is as diverse
as the Sultanate's regions and reflects the rich history
of Oman as well. African and Asian rhythms can be found
side by side with genuine Arab rhythms and there are
different types of rhythm with names such as the 'simple;
'lame'; 'complex'; 'overlapping' and 'embellished'.
The dominant role of
the rhythm, when scrutinizing Omani genres, is obvious
in many respects and confirmed by the large number of
rhythmic instruments (28) against only seven melodic
The definition of rhythm
Rhythm in Arabic is
known by the following names: (wazn
pl. auzan), darb (pl. durub) and asl
(pl. usul). Rhythm is considered the organizational
part of music, as opposed to the melody, which represents
the musical content in the strictest sense of the word.
Since the start of civilization,
rhythm has been considered an important element in musical
formation. This can be seen in the traces of ancient
civilizations. Ancient manuscripts paid great attention
to dealing with rhythm: the Arab philosopher al-Farabi
(d. 339H / 950 AD) devoted special works to this subject.
He allocated certain parts of his most important musical
work, Kitab al-Musiqi al-kabir,
to the subject of rhythm. Of particular importance is
his description of the rhythm of the beats (naqarat)
whose different quality of sound is essential for the
formation of rhythm. He described it as follows: "We
suppose that the beats are in three ranks: strong beat;
soft beat; and medium beat."
The strong beat (an-naqra al-qawiya)
The strong beat is one
of the main elements of rhythm. It is the heavy or deep
sound produced by the rhythmic instrument. Strong beats,
as it were, represent the corner-stone of rhythmic structure
within a cycle. To describe these beats certain onomatopoeic
syllables such as 'dum' are used.
For example, in the
sama or the tar instrument, this deep sound is
produced by beating the skin strongly with the palm
of the hand, while on the musundu instrument,
the beat is made in the middle of the skin instead of
on the edge. On the rahmani it is made by beating
the skin strongly with the palm of the hand. If a stick
is used, the player takes care to differentiate among
the various kinds of beats by controlling the intensity
of beating the skin, or by muting the skin after beating
it, or by the degree of a stick's inclination while
The soft beat (an-naqra al-laiyina)
The soft beat is considered
the other main element in the formation of rhythm and
a complete rhythm cannot be produced without it. In
the scientific and practical description, it is represented
by the word, 'tak'. Thus any rhythm can be demonstrated
by these two elements:
1 2 1 2
dum tak dum tak
Ternary rhythm can
be described thus:
1 2 3
dum tak tak
The soft beat is made
on the edge of the sama or the tar. It is also made
on the edge of the rahmani or by beating the
skin with the fingers only instead of using the palm,
and so on. The player should make a clear difference
between the soft and strong beats.
The medium beat (an-naqra al-mutawassita)
The medium beat takes
on the task of 'embellishing' or 'filling in' the rhythm.
So it is responsible for the aesthetic aspect of the
rhythm. The strong and the soft beats define the rhythm,
but without embellishment or colouring through some
additional medium beats, it would normally not be complete.
Musical reality proves that many rhythms can only show
their character through embellishment. However, there
are Omani rhythms that adhere to their specific framework,
without embellishment, due to the type of musical form
and function.
The medium beat has
several forms that depend on the skill of the player,
the function of the instrument, and the function of
the form as well.
How rhythm is formed
The basic task of rhythm
is to organize the melody in equal time groups, even
if the number of beats in these groups differs. The
most important part of rhythm is the 'internal rhythm'
or what is known as the 'rhythmic pulse'. The 'rhythmic
pulse' should be felt even without any kind of beat
and can be compared the seconds of a clock.
The emergence of a group
of different beats on this metric fundament of the rhythmic
pulse forms the rhythm. Within a unit of the metre,
the pattern of the beats of the particular rhythm repeats
itself during the entire length of the piece. Such a
pattern is called the 'rhythmic cycle'. This name refers
to the fact that it returns and is repeated throughout
the musical piece. Some scholars such as Safi ad-Din
al-Urmawi (d. 1294) used the term 'cycle' in their description
of rhythm. In transcriptions such as cycle is usually
illustrated by a bar or measure.
A rhythmic cycle usually
consists of 8 pulses or units, thus:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
dum rest tak rest dum rest tak tak
Methods of rhythm transmitted
by tradition
Arab music in general
and Omani music in particular did not use musical notation
throughout the history of its ancient civilization.
This does not signify any negligence of this musical
aspect. Written documentation rather contradicts the
customary practice of improvising Arabic rhythms and
Arab musicians prefer to deal with musical practice
rather than with musical theory.
a. Practical Transmission
As previously mentioned,
the Omani musicians handed down their funun through
musical performance only, which is called oral transmission
i.e. the transmission of these funun took place without
the use of any kind of notation, but through practice
or instruction only.
This method has many
advantages: it gives the individual freedom and the
right to use his imagination. Therefore, there can be
seen several versions of the same musical genre in the
various regions of the Sultanate which enrich the Omani
music. These funun are handed down from one generation
to another, from the old to the young, and so on
is thus personal and not through inanimate objects such
as paper etc.
The younger generation
learns these funun with their standards, names, movements
and occasions, firstly through observation and listening,
then through practice. Thus, it is rare to find someone
specializing in one part of a genre, since everybody
knows the genre as a whole and with all its parts. Also,
many young men can, for instance, alternate with each
other in playing the rahmani or the kasir
without being confined to the use of one instrument
All of this applies
to a greater degree, to rhythm. Rhythm is handed down
through practice and the Omani memorizes it in detail
and links it to the different parts of the genre.
The Omani uses the names
of musical forms to identify their rhythm as well because
it constitutes an important part in the structure of
the musical form. Genre and rhythm are inseparably linked;
rhythm is an indispensable part of each genre. For example,
when hearing the musical form of a razha, each
Omani knows spontaneously what the rhythm of the razha
must be.
In summary, in the Arab
world in general, Omani rhythms are transmitted through
practical performance and oral instruction without any
use of notation and that the rhythm is linked with the
genre itself. The continual participation in performing
the traditional funun is the most important factor in
transmitting the genuine and original forms in which
rhythm constitutes one of their most essential musical
Theoretical transmission
Arab philosophers did
not neglect speaking or writing about music in their
theoretical works. A debt is owed to the ancient philosophers
for much information about music in many respects. When
they tried to describe rhythm, they didn't consider
the lack of a method of musical notation an obstacle
to conveying the information to other generations.
Philosopher Al-Kindi
described rhythm in a very accurate manner in the 9th
century AD. He used, in his description, the names of
the metres that were available during his life time,
mentioning the following:
1. thanqil al-auwal 2 thanqil ath-thani 3 makhuri 4 khafif ath-thaqil

He didn't stop at naming,
but also used the letter 't' in Arabic to express the
beats which were contained in these rhythms. As beats
ranged from strong to soft - which are the bases of
every rhythm - Al-Kindi added the letter 'n' to the
letter 't') to become 'tan' to express the heavy, or
what is called the 'strong' beat. For the light or soft
beat, he used the open letter 'ta'. An example of a
double rhythm, the first part of which is heavy and
the second soft is as follows:
Tan ta / tan ta
By mixing these letters,
he managed to describe rhythms very accurately. His
method was used by many ancient philosophers and scholars
such as al-Farabi, Ibn Sina, Ibn Zaila and al-Urmawi,
who used circles in addition to letters in order to
mark the extent of a complete cycle.
Thus the ancient theoretical
transmission involved describing the rhythm with the
help of letters which indicate the main divisions of
the rhythmic cycle. As for the rhythms of the Omani
funun there are no theoretical examples of an old transmission
method: Omani funun were and still are, handed down
Modern Methods of Rhythmic Notation
Theoretical textbooks
in music schools and institutes mention and explain
many Arab rhythms. This is done in a uniform way by
the use of the Western method of musical notation and
results from the fact that Arab states have been teaching
European music through the use of European musical notation
since the 19th Century.
Some people, however,
have tried to describe rhythm without using the familiar
Western musical letters. For instance, Sheikh Ahmad
al-Wafi from Tunisia used, in his description of rhythm,
dots as a symbol for the rhythmic pulse or basic unit.
The internal rhythm al-bataihi, for example,
would thus consist of 12 dots. The actual beats were
described by the syllables 'dum' and 'tak' for strong
and soft beats respectively; 'dummah' and 'takkah' for
the repetition of a beat. So the bataihi rhythm
looks such:
dum. takkah dum. tak. dum.tak.tak.tak.
Role of Rhythm in Determining an Instrument's Name
In Omani funun the names
of musical instruments are sometimes determined through
their rhythmic functions. This means that, in different
performances, the same instrument can be given different
names according to the role of the instrument in the
genre itself.
For instance, the name
rahmani is usually given to an instrument that
is larger in size than the kasir. However, this
size is related to the musical function of the instrument
in the genre and is not a characteristic of its own.
The size of the instrument plays an important role in
achieving specific tasks. The rahmani should
be strong and heavy because it has to provide the basis
of the rhythm. The size of the kasir can be smaller
than this in order to produce the 'high' or 'thin' beats
in relation to the rahmani's sound.
It is this rhythmical
function which gives the instrument its name. According
to the particular part of the rhythm which it contributes
to the performance, it becomes either rahmani or
kasir. So, if in a different performance, an even
stronger instrument than the previous rahmani is used,
it will take over this musical role of the rahmani
, become the basis of the rhythm and therefore be called
rahmani. The original rahmani will then
assume the role of the kasir and become a kasir
for that performance.
The naming of the instrument
is thus linked to its rhythmic function, rather than
its shape or size. The function also dictates the way
of playing. The rahmani player in the midema
genre, for example, beats his instrument with the palm
of his hand to produce the 'dum' and 'tak' beats in
a strong and heavy manner, while the kasir player
produces its rhythm, which consists of 'tak' beats only,
by beating it with a stick. Thus, the playing technique
reflects the difference between both instruments and
their tasks.
It can thus be concluded
that the naming of the rahmani and the kasir
is based on the function and specific role of each instrument
within the rhythm of each genre. They can only be named
according to their reciprocal relationship to each other.
Accordingly, it can
be difficult to give an instrument its proper name in
some genres that do not use the two types of drums together,
as in the genre rauwah of Musandam. This genre
uses several instruments for one and the same function.
Therefore, all the instruments can be called either
rahmani or kasir but due to the lack of
difference in their musical contribution, some cannot
be called rahmani while others are called kasir.
Another genre which
reflects this musical function is performed for the
ceremonies of traditional healing and can be found in
the Batinah and Sharqiyah regions. Only rhythmic instruments
are used in this genre: four musundu and one
tanak. Although the four musundu are the same
type of instrument, some of them have special names
that are related to their functions in performing the
genre. These names are related to ancient beliefs and
traditions which link some rhythms with certain jinns
or spirits who are believed to love the sound of these
instruments. These beliefs, as well as the instruments,
come from the coasts of East Africa.
The names of the four
musundu instruments in the mikwara genre are:
musundu; mukabwa; namutiya; musundu.
The functions of the
four musundu differ according to their names.
Thus, the original mikwara rhythm is given to
the mukabwa and the namutiya. They complement
each other - i.e. different parts of the rhythm are
distributed between them. The musundu al-mukabwa
rhythm is high-pitched compared to that of the namutiya.
In order to control the pitch of the sound of the musundu
the player uses as-suhha, a hot paste of dates, grease
and ashes which is applied to the musundu skin.
In this way, the player controls the tightening of the
skin and determines the kind of sound. Some players
claim that they can produce three or four different
degrees of intensity of the musundu sound by
the use of different quantities of as-suhha.
Musundu 1 and
4 take the role of embellishment in the mikwara
genre. In this connection another peculiarity in the
treatment of these instruments arises. Not only the
naming but also the positioning of the instrument within
the group takes the instrument's musical function into
consideration. So, musundu al-mukabwa and musundu
al-namutiya (2 & 3) are placed next to each
other because they complement each other in their functions;
musundu 1 and 4, in contrast, embellish the rhythm
and by placing them far apart, do not affect each other.

SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate (Level 3)
SIZE: One Size
Finished Circumference About 35 in. (89 cm) at top edge Finished Height About 15 in. (38 cm)
Just in time for Mother's Day, knit this embellished flower bag for the one you love. Click here for the crochet version. Designed by Nicky Epstein.
11 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) over pattern. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size
specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be
sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what
the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person.
If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller
size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
Making a Gauge Swatch
11 sts = about 4 in. (10 cm) over pattern.
kfb (knit into front and then back) An increase worked as follows: 1. Knit the next st through the front loop, but do not remove the st from your left hand needle. 2. Knit the same st once more, this time inserting your needle through the back loop of the st. You will have created 2 loops (sts) on your right hand needle. 3. Drop the st from your left hand needle – you have increased 1 st. Linc (Left increase) Insert tip of left hand needle into st one row below last st worked on right hand needle, lift top of this st and knit it. Rinc (Right increase) Insert tip of right hand needle into st one row below the next st on left hand needle, left this st onto left hand needle and knit it. ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog – 1 st decreased. sk2p (slip-k2tog-pass slipped st over) A double decrease worked as follows: 1. Insert right needle as if to knit, and slip the next st from the left needle to the right needle. 2. Knit the next 2 sts together. 3. With tip of left needle, lift the slipped st (the 2nd st on right needle) up and over the k2tog (first st on right needle) and off the needle – you have decreased 2 sts.
1. Base and Body of Bag are worked separately, then sewn together. 2. The Body of the Bag is worked in a slip st pattern, stranding the B yarn across. As you work the Body of the Bag, pause to 'read' you work – you'll need to understand how the pattern emerges as you work the increased sts into the pattern. 3. All slipped sts should be slipped as if to purl. 4. Fabric is cut and sewn to make a lining for the Bag. The sewing can be done by hand or machine. The lining is hand sewn into the Bag. 5.

Hot on the heels of Epic Games announcing that it would offer a monthly subscription plan to allow anyone to license its Unreal Engine 4 technology, Crytek is offering a similar deal for its CryEngine technology – for about $9 less. Crytek announced this week during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco that it would offer the CryEngine for $9.90 a month per user. Epic Games announced earlier in the week that it would offer UE4 for $19 a month with a five percent royalty on any games created and sold.
"We are happy to announce now that the latest update of CryEngine will soon be available to all developers on a subscription basis. We are really excited to make CryEngine available to hundreds of thousands of developers working with Crytek to make awesome games."
Besides undercutting Epic on its price, Crytek stressed that licensing its engine does not attach a royalty fee on games created with the technology.
The CryEngine SDK is already free for anyone to try, but future improvements and features will only be made available to the subscription version of the SDK. Traditional game studios can only use CryEngine through a separate licensing model.
One caveat to this announcement is that the subscription fee only applies to "indie developers," and Crytek has not explained how it determines who is and isn't and indie developer…
We will have more on this story as it becomes available, but at the end of the day having more than one reasonably priced option to develop games is always a good thing. Indie developers will have to decide which engine serves their needs the best versus how much it ultimately costs them.

Fox Racing "Time Code" Sweater
Price: $56.50
Sizes: Small – Extra Large
The irony of wearing an "ugly sweater" is diluted when an entire group of people does it in one place and then post on Facebook about how hilarious they are. And sadly, that kind of thing has given sweaters a bad name. You can help the sweater reclaim its legacy by wearing this knit from Fox. To make things even better, it's a 60/40 cotton-poly blend, which means there are no sheep were stripped of their hairs while you ball out in warmth.
