Toon Zone Talks to Greg Weisman, Part Two: "The Batman"
Toon Zone would like to welcome readers to the second of a four-part Greg Weisman interview. The first installment, focusing on Gargoyles, can be found here. Future installments will be posted throughout the summer.
Weisman had the difficult task of finishing the first season of the hit animated series The Batman, but the finale ("The Rubberface of Comedy, Part 1" and "The Clayface of Comedy, Part 2") far exceeded fan expectations.
They were especially excited that the series had finally addressed the backstory of a series villain. While Weisman agrees that the story does throw a heavy emphasis on Clayface, the story also shows the ramifications to Bruce Wayne's character.
"No matter what the story is," says Weisman, "We still want to see how this affects Bruce Wayne."
Weisman says that from the get-go The Batman was always trying to put more emphasis on Bruce Wayne than the villains. To keep the focus on our young hero, producers wanted to make sure the villains' backgrounds were kept simple.
"We didn't want to complicate anything," he adds.
Weisman also wrote "The Big Chill," the episode that introduced Mr. Freeze into the series. He realized going in the kind of pressure he would be under .
"When it came to Mr. Freeze, we wanted to make his origin not the issue, but how his appearance in Gotham affected Bruce Wayne," says Weisman. "And it does when he begins doubting himself.
"And Clancy Brown adds interest, no matter how crappy the writer is," Weisman laughs.
When push comes to shove, Weisman stands behind the concept of the
"Batman has cleaned up the regular thugs and mob bosses," Weisman says,
referring to the opening teaser sequence of The Batman's first episode. "Now the gate is open for the supervillains and freaks to come to Gotham."
The show is about Bruce's development into The Batman. Weisman says that while he is a bit more light-hearted, he remains as driven as ever. Each new villain and fight he faces brings new challenges for the title character.
"We want to see how he develops," says Weisman.
Weisman admits that the show faces an uphill battle, given the legacy of the animated Batman series of the 1990s. While the new show is introducing the Dark Knight's origin to a whole new audience, you can't ignore the past.
"Everyone who works on The Batman are great admirers of the work that's come before," says Weisman. "We have this big shadow over us, we always know it's there."
Weisman has enjoyed working on the series, and his only regret is not being able to write his favorite character.
"My personal favorite is the Scarecrow," says Weisman, "Maybe I'll get my swing at him in the future."
Weisman will be revisiting Gotham in the second season of The Batman in episodes featuring the Clown Prince of Crime.
"I wrote a follow-up episode featuring Joker and Clayface called 'Meltdown,' as well as 'Strange Minds,' featuring The Joker and Professor Strange," says Weisman. Strange was voiced by the late Frank Gorshin.
"It should be fun stuff."

A young lad took a blind date to an amusement park. They went for a ride on the Ferris wheel. The ride finished and she seemed a bit bored.
"What would you like to do next?" he asked."I wanna be weighed," she said.
So the young man took her over to the weight guesser.
"nine stone four," said the man at the scale, and he was absolutely right. Next they rode the roller coaster. After that, he bought her some popcorn and candy floss , then he asked what else she would like to do.
"I wanna be weighed," she said.
He'd really latched onto a square one tonight, thought the young man, and using the excuse he had a headache, he took the girl home. The girl's mother was surprised to see her home so early, and asked, "What's wrong, dear, didn't you have a nice time tonight?"
"Wousy," said the girl.

I think the president should worry about doing his job and churches should stay out of it. Most of those people are not very informed, that listed to what the priest says and vote religion then claim separation of church and state when it is time to collect taxes.
Can we assume that your question is purely in jest Carrie? Please? :-)
It helps to ask an intelligent question. Not sure what you fail to understand about that.
*Drum roll* Now I'm really impressed with the astoundingly Witty and divinely inspired... Carrie7! BARF!!! ;(
People forget prayer requires action. Your church is hiding greed, not removing it and plays dirty tricks to cover that fact up.
Oh Phuleeeaze!

why can't you religious loonies...

EVER just give the rest of us .....a break?
It never ends. :-)
YOU need to be touched....*winks* Carnally! :)
This site is for all "Opinions" and if you don't like the religious questions,don't answer them, keep it moving and that will be your break! Stop trying to speak for everybody,you can only speak for yourself. :((
Go stuff" your lecture...where it MAY fit! ..need to borrow some K-Y Gel?
Ha ha...is the church you belong to founded by David Koresh?
If God and Satan actually existed, then by now, they would have a hit reality TV show.

Oh, and btw, it's about time that you hit reality
I think that churches should think about whole wheat bagels in the welcoming room. That would be a good start.
Oh wow. If by Satan you mean the influence of corruption then you missed that boat years ago sister.
So, you attend a church that actually encourages its members to pray for this President, not pray that he was defeated. That is unusual. Good for your priest for not bringing real politics into the church as so many have done.
What you are saying don't even make any sense. President Obama is a man of "God"! This is why he can chew bubble and talk at the same time,he can worship "God" and take care of his job as "President",when you doing what is right satan will attact nor only him but anyone.
We should pray that Carrie7 discovers how fundamentally flawed her religious beliefs are and deconverts to atheism.
ba<x>sed on what you said, i would say let the president do his job and you should pray for him.
Christians should definitely pray for those in authority. As an Oopboopbeanityismismist I have a hard time with whole concept of Satan. I think we alone our responsible for our misdeeds and wrongdoings.
Sweety every President should seek the guidence of Jesus.
well when Jesus spoke and said money is the root of all evil he was referring to the church itself, for it is seen within the sc<x>riptures of abominations occurring in organized religion. A simple example would be when a priest told me why i didn't go to church on time? That i must be here for this is gods house! His words, But if one were to look up church the definition would be 2 or more speaking of god. The church is not gods house for gods house is written about in the bible it is now what we create in his image but what he created. You and I are the house of god for this is where the holy spirit resides and being one of the faith you must know that the sc<x>riptures speaks against all who hide in the shadows as enemy's of god. Our own president himself has been invited to and attended multiple meets with secret organisations prior to his election, These are the secret powers spoken of in the bible. Yet he seems well and some pray for him but remember the devil disguises himself in sheep's clothing.
Which bible and which god there are dozens or none depending on your point of view.
You do all you feel your faith leads you to do but you can't make the potus spend x time in church or prayer much less anybody else. Suggesting he should pray more is fine.
stick to praying in church.....the mosque that obozo attends is heavily guarded against real americans and christian fools. lmao :)
Obozo? Oh, you must have thought Romney won.
nope ! but wished romney did win. obozo will sink the country deeper than he already has. read my words.....he will destroy the country completely within 2 yrs. remember this when it happens, and you will recall.... I told you so.

Talking Positive about HIV: David's story
Publish Date: 27/11/2013
The Lesbian & Gay Foundation (The LGF) spoke to David about living as a HIV positive man, how it affects him personally and the importance of raising HIV awareness.
David, 28, works in healthcare and is well-informed about the importance of HIV awareness, but as a HIV positive man, being able to talk about how it affects him personally is just as important.
David, from Brighton, is in his second year on the NUS (National Union of Students) LGBT committee and he is open about his own HIV status - showing students that they don't have to worry about their status while they are a student.
A couple of months after he was diagnosed as HIV positive, David came to the realisation that he shouldn't be ashamed of his status and was inspired to be open and honest about his experience.
He explained: "One of my closest friends who was HIV positive revealed his status publically on the internet and this encouraged me to do the same. I've always been active in standing up for people, especially the LGBT community so it just made sense."
David has been raising funds and actively campaigning to raise awareness of HIV with all communities in Brighton. He added: "One organisation in Brighton tried to show House of Numbers - a HIV denying film - so we organised a campaign and with student pressure we managed to get it cancelled, which I think is amazing."
So how does he think HIV positive gay/bisexual men can help to inform negative guys?
"One of the first things we can do is to be on dating sites as it's about being open about our status and on our profile. There should be more blogs about taking a test and to show how simple it is to walk out with a result.
"On the scene, it's important that gay/bisexual men get involved in charities, such as helping running clinics, condom packing or even out talking to other guys in the community about wearing condoms!"
David has found that some gay men can be unwilling to discuss the subject of HIV or safer sex...
"Sometimes people say 'oh I don't use condoms... I bareback' and there's some ignorance about it. In my experience, I told a guy who I went on a date with that I'm HIV positive and this empowered him to be open about his status too."
And what is it that people want to discuss?
"The fear of being stigmatised is what people want to talk about. I've heard 'you only lose ten years of your life, what's the point?' But when people know about me being open about my status, they want to know when I got diagnosed and how. There isn't a good way or a bad way to get HIV. It's not as simple as saying it's the fault of guys who shag about, but if you get HIV from a blood transfusion then it's ok. Shaming people about how they acquired the virus isn't helpful."
What does he think of current sexual health campaigns and what more could be done?
"I like It Starts With Me. They have lots of faces for a lot of different people to relate to although there are a lot of gay men. I've not seen a lot of stuff about women with HIV - there needs to be more!
"One thing we can all do is to keep wearing condoms and raise awareness. Schools need to talk more about sexual health and we need to keep reminding people that it's not an embarrassing thing to go to a sexual health clinic!"
David is one of the HIV positive men who will be attending our 'Talk Positive' event on Sunday 1 December. You can read more about the event here:

Court says former sleepy FM cop's firing justified
Wed, 21 Aug 2013 20:56:05 GMT —
An Iowa appeals court says the city of Fort Madison was justified when it fired a former police officer.
Wednesday's decision upholds a March 2012 ruling by a district court judge in a lawsuit filed by former Fort Madison police officer William Bowker.
The decision says Bowker was fired for sleeping on the job and missing calls and having an affair with Police Chief Bruce Niggemeyer's wife.
Bowker had argued that the city was wrong to fire him since the incidents took place while he worked at the Lee County Drug Task force. His removal from the task force was tantamount to punishment, according to Bowker's argument.
The three-judge panel said the affair impacted the department's chain of command and the willingness of fellow officers to work with him.
Bowker can appeal the ruling to the Iowa Supreme Court.

Saskatoon residents respond to grocery store shortage
SASKATOON – A group of people in Saskatoon's core teamed up and opened their first pop-up market Thursday. The City Centre Food Cooperative came about as a result of the closure of the 7th Avenue Shop Easy in the City Park neighbourhood.
"We formed the co-op with the broader goal of opening a community-owned grocery store at some point in the future," said Sugandhi del Canto, co-founder of the City Centre Food Cooperative.
Meanwhile, the group is operating the produce stand every other Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CT, with the aim of expanding hours later into the evening.
The makeshift market is located at 506 25th Street East in the Saskatoon Community Service Village. The co-op is hoping seniors, people without vehicles and students find the location central and accessible.
"These are populations that are particularly vulnerable to food access," del Canto said.
Fresh fruit and vegetables are provided by local food security company CHEP. Vegetables are individually priced and comparable to larger grocery stores.

Neither the co-op nor CHEP profits from the pop-up market, del Canto said.
Jenny Plotzki works downtown and often visited the Shop Easy before its closure in early November. She found peppers and bananas at the co-op that will contribute to her Thursday evening meal.
"I like the fact that it's community-led, that this organization is thinking about the needs of people who live in the downtown area where grocery stores aren't available," Plotzki said.
There is still no tenant at the Shop Easy. Parent company Loblaws previously stated that it has received "considerable interest" in the property.
The City Centre Food Cooperative is looking at the Shop Easy as a possible location for a permanent location. However, del Canto said there are a number of properties being looked at if the co-op grows to become a full-fledged grocery store.

DUDLEY Council has pledged to build 123 affordable homes across the borough over the next two years.
They will be situated on brownfield sites in Kingswinford, Dudley, Woodsetton and Sedgley and Coseley.
All the proposed homes will be for rent and will range from one-bedroom apartments up to five bedroom houses.
A number of the homes will be bungalows and properties specifically designed for people with disabilities.
Money has been made available for the scheme after Dudley Council was able to borrow an extra £6million from the government's local growth fund housing revenue's account borrowing programme.
Cllr Gaye Partridge, Dudley Council's cabinet member for housing, said: "We are doing all we can to provide affordable options in the borough.
"We will be particularly focusing on providing new smaller houses and homes suitable for older people and those with disabilities."
Work is set to start on the homes by 2015 and is expected to be completed in 2017.

From Ocean of Dharma comes this quote from Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, from The Profound Treasury of Knowledge, Volume Three: The Tantric Path of Indestructible Wakefulness.
Practicing dharma is not difficult; it comes naturally. It is free from hassle, and it brings a lot of health. As you practice more and more, you find that practice begins to grow inside your bones, in the marrow. Practice becomes natural. It is just like a horse that is used to being ridden: that horse begins to like the rider rather than feeling resentful. That is why we sometimes call practice "riding the mind."
If you find that your horse is feeling resentful, you'll find lots of helpful advice on our How to Meditate Spotlight Page. And for more on the Profound Treasury, look for Dzogchen Ponlop's article about it, "Guide to the Three-Yana Journey," inside the Spring 2013 Buddhadharma magazine, mailing to subscribers now.

The neighbour is Deirdre (Anne Kirkbride), and she takes Roy by the hand and tries to bring him home.

How Embracing Others with Differences of Conscience Protects Church Unity
I have always felt that this little ditty hits a little too close to home for comfort:
To live above with the saints we love, oh, how that will be glory; but to live below with the saints we know, now that's a different story.
Quote that to any follower of Jesus with any length of time invested in His church, and that person will likely smile, wince, or both from a history of painful experience.
The New Testament prescribes numerous–what I call graces of gospel community–which we must apply in church fellowship, if we expect to eagerly preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Eph. 4:3).
One such intricacy of love–lesser known than many of the others but oh so important–is welcoming one another. Paul's epistle to the Romans addresses this issue toward the end of the book.
Let's start with Romans 15:7 – Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
Please understand that this marks the climax of a prolonged argument of Paul's reaching all the way back to Romans 14:1-4 where we encounter the same key word, once in the imperative mood (a command)–As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him and then in the indicative mood (a reality) (v. 4)–for God has welcomed him.
Whatever Paul means by welcome, it matters greatly simply by the weight of emphasis given its repetition. First, let's get our bearings with this book of the Bible before we dive into the particulars of these passages.
Paul wrote Romans to the church in that city to prepare them for his coming visit. It contains easily his most thoroughgoing treatment/explanation of the gospel, spanning chapters one to eleven.
Beginning in chapter 12 he transitions from the indicative, what God has done for us in Jesus Christ, to the imperative, how we should then live in light of that glorious gospel.
He covers a wide variety of spheres of relationships and issues as to how the gospel informs our choices therein, finally landing in this last section on a special problem area for believers–passing judgment on one another and thus compromising the unity and harmony of the body of Christ.
He prescribes this antidote for such a poison to genuine community: welcome one another.
Here is the main thing I want to emphasize in this text: the gospel shapes community by constraining us to manifest the grace of welcoming one another.
In future posts I want to show you three things about this grace: the gist of welcoming, the ground of welcoming, and the goal of welcoming.
My aim is to encourage us to take Paul's counsel to heart as we continue to evaluate our own experience of community in our churches and to look to Him to shape us more and more in light of the gospel.
In the meantime ask yourself this question: Am I more inclined to accept others in their preferences of conscience or to judge them?

In the April 2014 local election in Boone County, 13.54 percent of eligible voters showed up to elect Columbia City Council representatives and Columbia Board of Education members and to determine important bond issues and tax measures.

I used homemade detergent, the kind with fels naptha, borax and washing powder, and another time we used ivory soap instead, on my diapers and all our clothes a while back. Our white clothes were getting greyer and greyer, and stains weren't coming out as well, so we stopped using the homemade detergent. Around the same time, we were having a lot of repelling issues with the dipes, and I can't remember if it was related to the homemade detergent or not. Has anyone experienced this?
Right now, our diapers are disintigrating. It's weird, but they are shredding apart, and the covers are leaking through the PUL, though I don't see holes or anything. I think it's the cheapo detergent we've been using. So, I'm thinking of switching back to the homemade detergent for diapers at least, but don't want to get into a repelling problem.
i was just about to post a similar question. i use that same detergent, and some of my AIO's have started repelling. so i'm interested to see what others reply.
betsy: wife to tony, mama to haven (7/6/10), arlo (m/c 1/21/12), and expecting valencia in late december.

I would say it might be the fels naptha. Replace that with 1/4 grated bar of castile soap, and add 1/4c of oxyclean, and the dinginess and repelling might get better. I used homemade laundry detergent on my clothes and diapers for over a year, and other than the occasional (less than once a month) need to do an extra rinse on the dipes, I didn't have a repelling problem. But also keep in mind the fabrics of your diapers. I noticed homemade detergent didn't work as well on my synthetic fabric diapers, but it worked just fine on my natural fiber diapers.
Come to think of it, the repelling was in my BGs, not PFs.
If castille soap is hard to find, do you think fels naptha will cause repelling in cotton fibers?
Yeah, it was my BG deluxe AIOs that repelled.
Do you have a Cracker Barrel near you? I found Kirk's castile soap there for .99 a bar. Dr. Bronner's is pretty easy to find at Target or natural food stores.

City Scape: Skyline
Jennifer Higdon
b. Brooklyn, New York / December 31, 1962
First performance by the RPO.
Pulitzer Prize winner Jennifer Higdon maintains a full schedule of commissions, and her music is known for its technical skill and audience appeal. Hailed by the Washington Post as "a savvy, sensitive composer with a keen ear, an innate sense of form, and a generous dash of pure esprit," she is one of America's most frequently performed composers.
City Scape was commissioned and premiered in 2002 by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Robert Spano, music director. The composer writes: "City Scape is a metropolitan sound picture written in orchestral tones. Every city has a distinctive downtown skyline: that steely profile that juts into the sky, with shapes and monumental buildings that represent a particular signature for each city. The steel structures present an image of boldness, strength, and growth, teeming with commerce, and the people who work and live there. This is the first movement, 'SkyLine.'"
Piano Concerto No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 15
Johannes Brahms
b. Hamburg, Germany / May 7, 1833
d. Vienna, Austria / April 3, 1897
First performed by the RPO on February 1, 1929; Eugene Goossens, conductor; Max Londow, soloist. Last performed on February 24, 2007; Christopher Seaman, conductor; John Lill, soloist.
Like Beethoven before him, Brahms thought of concerto and symphony in terms of equal depth and value. Not for him the flashy, empty solo vehicles written by many composers of his day. Each of his four concertos – two for piano, one for violin, and one for violin and cello – is a substantial work drawn on a large canvas. Not that any of them are easy to play; on the technical level they make high demands. But unlike most Romantic concertos, they ask as much of their soloists' intelligence and humanity as their fingers.
In 1854, Brahms began composing a large-scale work, initially conceived as a sonata for two pianos. Realizing that the material for the opening movement didn't suit this medium, during the summer he set out, with the help of three more experienced musician friends, to transform it into an orchestral piece. In February of the following year, he changed his mind again, deciding that the ideal medium for it would be a concerto for piano and orchestra – his first concerto of any kind. Recomposition occupied him until the autumn of 1856. With the first movement completed, he continued, first with the finale, then with the slow movement, which he described as a "gentle portrait" of his close friend, Clara Schumann.
A further three years passed before he felt sufficiently satisfied with the concerto to set it before the public, although he continued to make revisions even after the premiere. The first performance took place in Hanover on January 22, 1859, with Brahms as soloist and his close friend, violinist and composer Joseph Joachim, conducting.
The somewhat puzzled reaction earned by the debut of his big, serious, fully symphonic concerto might have been expected; the wonder is that anyone liked it at all! It wasn't so lucky at the second performance, five days later in Leipzig. It was met with extreme hostility, leaving the composer in a state of desolation. He wrote ruefully to Joachim, "My concerto here was a brilliant and decided – failure…The first movement and the second were heard without a sign. At the end three hands attempted to fall slowly one upon the other, at which point a quite audible hissing from all sides forbade such demonstrations… In spite of all this, the concerto will please someday, when I have improved its construction… I believe it is the best thing that could have happened to me; it makes one pull one's thoughts together and raises one's courage." Not until 1865, when Brahms played it once again in Mannheim, however, did it begin to find a place in the repertoire.
The vast opening movement begins with a stark orchestral introduction. The piano enters with a more resigned idea before it, too, is caught up in the emotional tumult. Contrast is provided by a warmer second theme. The somber mood with which the movement began continues through to the final bars. The slow second movement is a serene meditation. Scarcely a ripple of darker emotion disturbs its warm, placid surface. The concerto concludes with a big, bold rondo, lighter in tone than the preceding movements but substantial enough to fit into the overall ground-plan.
Concerto for Orchestra
Béla Bartók
b. Nagyszentmiklós, Hungary / March 25, 1881
d. New York, New York / September 26, 1945
First performed by the RPO on November 18, 1948; Erich Leinsdorf, conductor. Last performed on November 22, 2008; Andrew Grams, conductor.
In 1940, to avoid being trapped in his native Hungary by the advancing Nazi forces, Bartók emigrated to the United States. Friends had secured him a job cataloguing Columbia University's collection of folk songs from Eastern Europe. That position was eventually terminated, and the composer's continuing poor health made it impossible for him to earn money by continuing his career as a piano soloist. Bartók found himself virtually destitute, but his proud nature would not allow him to accept anything resembling charity.
Two old friends came to his rescue. Violinist Joseph Szigeti and conductor Fritz Reiner persuaded Serge Koussevitzky, Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, to commission a new work from Bartók. He composed the Concerto for Orchestra between August and October 1943. Its creation gave his spirits a much needed boost, as did the highly successful premiere, which Koussevitzky conducted on December 1, 1944.
"The title concerto for this symphony-like orchestral work is explained by its tendency to treat single instruments or groups in a concertante or soloist manner," Bartók explained. "The general mood represents, apart from the jesting second movement, a gradual transition from the sternness of the first movement and the lugubrious death-song of the third, to the life-assertion of the last one."
The first movement opens with an emotionally clouded introduction, then plunges into a restless, thrusting principal section. A powerful climax spotlighting the brass leads to a defiant close. The concerto's two scherzo like movements are its most unique features. The first, Game of the Pairs, showcases the poker-faced side of Bartók's sense of humor. Two bassoons introduce the droll principal theme. Variations on it are then played in turn by pairs of oboes, clarinets, flutes, and trumpets. A solemn brass chorale provides contrast, before the game resumes its course. The concerto's emotional heart lies in the following Elegy. After woodwinds and harp have set the ethereal mood, Bartók gradually builds a searing central climax.
The second scherzo, Interrupted Intermezzo, is less subtle but just as amusing as the first. The oboe introduces the cheeky first subject, followed by a warm, folksy tune on the strings. A dance like rhythm begins to insinuate itself, leading to the "interruption" proper, a banal idea first heard on the clarinet. Bartók took it from the opening movement of Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7. This piece had recently been smuggled out of Russia past the Nazi blockade. It was being broadcast relentlessly, more as a gesture of political support than for musical reasons. Bartók came to dislike it intensely, and he took this opportunity to thumb his nose at it.
A grand flourish by the horns introduces the concerto's exuberant finale. The strings execute swirling, moto perpetuo figurations, intertwined with heroic brass fanfares and stamping Hungarian dance rhythms.

JUDY WOODRUFF: In America, Fiat has not exactly been a household name, especially when compared to Toyota, Honda, or any of Detroit's former big three.
But as some automakers shrink, consolidate, or deal with bankruptcy, Fiat has global designs of its own. Last week, the Italian company announced plans to acquire up to 35 percent of a restructured Chrysler company.
And today, Fiat's CEO, Sergio Marchionne, met with German officials about the possibility of taking over G.M.'s main European unit, Opel.
For a closer look at what Fiat is trying to do and the obstacles ahead, we're joined by David Kiley. He's a senior correspondent who covers the auto industry for BusinessWeek. And he joins us from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
David Kiley, thank you very much for joining us. Since Americans aren't so familiar with Fiat, remind us, who is this company? What do they make?
DAVID KILEY, BusinessWeek: Well, they have been the ninth-largest auto company in the world. And unlike a lot of other car companies, which are pretty much in the car business and the financing business, Fiat is a bit of an odd duck.
They're structured actually a little more like General Electric, believe it or not. They're kind of the G.E. of Italy. They have hundreds of companies under their corporate umbrella, everything from ski resorts to agricultural equipment, and, of course, cars. And the cars represent about half of their revenues.
Fiat seeks to expand globally
JUDY WOODRUFF: And so last week we learned they wanted to be in on the Chrysler deal, buying up to a third of Chrysler. Now they're looking at Opel. What are they trying to do?
DAVID KILEY: Well, it seems like they might be trying to bite off more than they can chew. It reminds me a little bit about what people say about the president these days, that he's got too many balls in the air. He's trying to reform Wall Street, and health care, and the auto industry all at once.
But what they're trying to do is kind of overnight achieve this global scale that they lack. Fiat only sells about 1.5 million vehicles.
If they -- with their deal with Chrysler, and now if they succeed in taking Opel from General Motors, that will put them at about 5.5 million vehicles a year. That will put them at fifth-largest auto company in the world.
And there's a theory that goes that auto companies that don't have that global reach, that global scale will get eaten up by their larger competitors or be forced into sort of a bad competitive situation. So Sergio Marchionne...
JUDY WOODRUFF: So is that -- I was going to say, is that his vision to get big because he has to get big?
DAVID KILEY: That's his idea. He has publicly stated that he believes that an auto company needs to be at least sort of 3.5 million units a year.
And I'll tell you what I find interesting, though, about his plan, and here's the risk. He's going after Chrysler and Opel in Europe. These are two fairly distressed outfits.
And there's a reason why, as these companies have been put up for sale, you don't see Toyota -- which is by most people's standards probably the best-run car company in the world -- you don't see Toyota bidding for this, you don't see Honda, you don't see BMW, which is another fabulously run company, because they've realized -- and BMW sort of found out the hard way back in the '90s, when it tried to acquire the English car company Rover -- that, when you acquire these companies, you not only acquire their troubled assets, but you acquire a whole different corporate culture that can really infect your own and create a lot of problems.
Toyota and Honda, these companies are growing organically from within, not by acquisition.
Americans skeptical about rescue
JUDY WOODRUFF: David Kiley, let's be very blunt about this. Why should American audiences care what a big Italian company is trying to do?
DAVID KILEY: Well, we know that about 60 percent, kind of give or take a few percentage points, of American people don't think the auto bailout was a good idea. That leaves the White House and about 45 percent of the rest of the country.
I'm one of those people that kind of believes that a viable auto industry is important for the American psyche, and so you've got Ford in pretty good shape. You've got Chrysler -- on paper, the plan, you know, can work with Fiat. And you have -- pretty soon we'll have a scaled-down General Motors, probably kind of operating lean and mean.
So a lot of people won't care. I mean, heavens, you've got Chrysler -- Consumer Reports right now doesn't recommend any Chrysler cars. I'm not sure that's going to change in the next two or three years just because the Italians have come in and tried to show the Americans how to build better cars.
But it has been decided by the White House that the auto industry is worth saving, it's worth saving the jobs, and it's worth saving kind of the symbolic importance globally to our economy of having a viable auto industry.
Concerns over Chrysler deal
JUDY WOODRUFF: So, just quickly, does it help the Chrysler survival prospects if Fiat is healthier, is able to expand buying Opel and whoever else they're interested in?
DAVID KILEY: That's a very good question, Judy. It's very difficult to answer. Chrysler has no future without Fiat; that's the first thing.
One of the concerns might be that they're biting off more than they can chew in this potential acquisition of Opel, and that is going to distract Sergio Marchionne from solving the problems in the U.S., as he's trying to solve those problems in Europe that are going to arise from acquiring Opel and trying to knit together Fiat and Opel in Europe.
It's a lot to take on for any company and any CEO. He's got a lot of hard times in front of him.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And, finally, we could know soon whether this is going to happen or not, this Opel purchase?
DAVID KILEY: I would be surprised if we didn't know, you know, before another week or two goes by. You'll either see a deal in principle or you'll see Marchionne make an announcement that he couldn't get the terms that he wanted and he's walking away.
And, frankly, I think that's going to be -- if he winds up not getting Opel, I think that's going to be one of those deals that he was better off not making.
JUDY WOODRUFF: David Kiley with BusinessWeek, thank you very much.
DAVID KILEY: You're welcome. Thanks for asking me.

Information and latest news about the East West rail link.
The complete East West Rail scheme comprises a strategic rail route that will link Ipswich, Norwich and Cambridge, with Letchworth, Bedford, Milton Keynes, Bicester and Oxford, allowing connections to Swindon, the Thames Valley, South West England and South Wales, together with a spur to Aylesbury.
The route will connect the ports of Felixstowe and Harwich with the Great Eastern, East Coast, Midland, West Coast and Great Western main lines without the need to travel on congested tracks around North London. It also provides an extra route for north-south intermodal traffic from the port of Southampton.
The route links the strategic growth areas along the M11 corridor, Milton Keynes, Aylesbury and Bedford, as well as Oxford, and provides a connection across the important Oxford 2 Cambridge "high tech arc".
The whole concept of East West Rail has some parallels with the M25, in that it provides an orbital route around London which both passenger and freight services will use for short, medium and long distances.

Seven Sources of Hunter Pet Name Inspiration
One of the most fun things about playing a hunter is choosing and taming your pets. Unlike warlocks (whose pets come with names), mages and shamans (whose pets are temporary summons), we actually get to name our pets ourselves.
Sometimes, however, that's not a bonus.
I once ran around for 2 months with "Scorpid" before I found a name for him. But, in the last 4-odd years of being a Hunter in warcraft, I've found that each hunter has their own methods for naming pets – now made easier by the internet! (also now made easier by Inscription, which can make a scroll that allows Hunters to rename their pets)
- Real life inspirations – name your pet after someone you know and like/hate in the real world:
- Belphzooka has a ravager named Kevin. Apparently his brother's name is Kevin.
- BigBearButt has a Devilsaur named AnnCoulter.
- Russ, the big brown bear, is named after one of my little cousins' favorite stuffed bears, whose name is also Russ. (The stuffed Russ is considerably less "tank" looking than the in-game Russ)
- Siana's teal kitty, Mirya, is named for the main character of a good friend of hers.
- Silly/amusing names or names inspired by the pet itself:
- Sometimes this works well – but sometimes not so well. After seeing my 12th corehound named Stompy (especially now that they don't stomp anymore), this can backfire.
- Breana is famous for The Pookie (be careful, or he'll chew your face off)
- Angoleth had a ravager for awhile – he was called Tim… the ravager.
- BRK's big red kitty is named Hobbes – whether for the Philosopher or for the comic strip, we're not sure, but either works!
- Just make one up!
- Take a look at your pet, and just come up with something. Obviously you may not strike on the perfect name right off the bat, but you never know!
- Lunauviel, a good hunter friend of mine, has her pets named Crisolin (crab) and Zaethiir (nether ray) – she's looking for a Corehound name now.
- I'm pretty sure Dalbarr's windserpent Myrgaith has a made up, but very awesome, name too.
- Use your character's native language: get a friend of a different race, turn your character's language to your race's native tongue, and start spitting out words.
- Head on over to the wowwiki.com page for your race and look at the available words for ideas too.
- Angoleth's windserpent, Ishura, is named for the Darnassian word for "Sparky"
- Go digging through the baby books until you find a name that means something like what you want your pet name to mean.
- Google is a great resource for this kind of thing too
- If you absolutely MUST have a name that you're SURE is accurate – avoid online baby name books, otherwise they're a great source of unusual names from around the world
- Remember that historical names are fair game!
- Use the Pet-o-licious Namerator (or another online name/character name generator)
- Ask Mania to name it for you – her crew of naming experts are quite good at coming up with both serious and silly names for pets.
Just remember that things don't have to be all that complicated. Sometimes you'll tame a pet and have no idea what to name it. And sometimes you'll tame a pet, and know his name is Spot, and name him that, and be perfectly happy with it! Both methods (the research method and the "whatever pops into your head" method) are great ways to name your pet.
How do you come up with your pet names?
*yes – this is Angoleth back with her Stranglethorn panther, at level 40ish, back from the days when your hunter pet would run along side your ground mount. I know it was easily exploitable, but I miss having my pet charging along next to me. 🙁

Basic Ajax for Beginners in ASP.NET 1.1
When the .NET framework first emerged a few years ago it was a monumental upgrade in technology for developers, especially those working with current ASP web technology. With a plethora of new features, a true object oriented framework and revolutionary development methodologies developers could create robust applications in a short amount of time in comparison to other available technologies.
Over time, as with any technology, some of the shortcomings of the .NET framework were exposed and it was once again time for change. With the release of the .NET framework 2.0 web development has once again undergone a radical change. Most cutting edge web development today is focused on AJAX and client side functionality in order to create a more desktop like user experience from the web browser.
With some of the costs involved in utilizing the latest technologies some developers are still using the .NET framework 2.0 predecessor: 1.1. Visual Studio is an expensive development tool that not all firms can afford to purchase and are therefore left a small step behind the current technologies.
Fortunately the .NET 1.1 framework is still highly utilized and supported. Because of this there are a lot of companies building support for Ajax style development using .NET 1.1. One such product is called MagicAjax which is an open source library that you can use in your ASP.NET 1.1 projects to implement Ajax functionality.

EMU@10: Coping with Rotating Slumps
On the eve of the financial and economic crisis of 2008/09, the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) could look back to a decade of remarkable macroeconomic stability. Somewhat surprisingly, though, inflation differentials across member states have been substantial and persistent, causing large cumulative changes in relative price levels. This paper presents a stylized theoretical model of a monetary union which demonstrates how persistent inflation differentials can arise from inflation inertia in conjunction with the loss of monetary control on the national level. The interaction of inflation and output dynamics which is at the core of the model generates a pattern of 'rotating slumps' (a term coined by Blanchard 2007b). A number of implications are derived from the model which shed light on the observed behavior of cyclical conditions and inflation rates in the euro area. The paper concludes that the monetary-fiscal framework of EMU does not pay adequate attention to the need of dealing with internal macroeconomic tensions within the euro zone.

Roger Federer has announced that he has withdrawn from next week's Rogers Cup presented by National Bank in Montreal. He has recently talked about his back trouble, but did not give a specific reason as to why he is pulling out of the tournament.
"I am disappointed not to be playing in Montreal next week. It is a great tournament with amazing fans. I look forward to competing there in the future," said Federer on the event Web site, www.rogerscup.com.
The former world number one, who turns 32 next week, has suffered quite a few upsets in the his last three tournaments. Sergiv Stakhovsky beat him in the second round at Wimbledon, Federico Delbonis defeated him in the Hamburg semi-finals, and Daniel Brands won their match in Gstaad. For the first time since 2003, Federer has fallen out of the world's top four. He has won only one title this season, which was on Halle's grass court in the build-up to Wimbledon.
Federer has twice been crowned champion of the Rogers Cup in 2004 and 2006. He also lost in the finals to Novak Djokovic in Montreal in 2007. Both Viktor Troicki and Marin Cilic will also not be competing in the event. Ivan Dodig of Croatia and Spaniard Pablo Andujar will now be in the main draw.

Sleep problems linked to memory functions in older people
Asian News International
In adults aged between 50 and 64 years of age, short sleep (less than 6hrs per night) and long sleep (more than 8hrs per night) were associated with lower brain function scores, while in older adults (65-89 years), lower brain function scores were only observed in long sleepers.
Dr Michelle A Miller said that 6-8 hours of sleep per night is particularly important in younger adults for optimum brain function as it helps physical health, lowers the risk of developing obesity, hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Dr Miller concluded that if poor sleep was causative of future cognitive decline, non-pharmacological improvements in sleep may provide an alternative low-cost and more accessible Public Health intervention, to delay or slow the rate of cognitive decline.
The study is published in PLOS ONE. (ANI)

Dustin Pedroia made his return to the Red Sox lineup Thursday night after missing 11 games due to a thumb injury. The second baseman was an unspectacular 1-for-4, but the Red Sox won anyway thanks to a walk-off home run from the hot-hitting Cody Ross.
Now that Pedroia has joined Carl Crawford and Jacoby Ellsbury in the Red Sox lineup, Boston is as healthy as it has been all season, which could spell trouble for the rest of the American League. Already the highest-scoring team in the majors, the Red Sox could really take off now that its trio of All Stars is back in the lineup for the foreseeable future.
Check out the video above to see Pedroia discuss his return and Ross' heroics in Red Sox Clubhouse Uncut.

L & H Group Plugs in at Burleigh Waters
National electrical retailer L and H Group has plugged in a long term tenancy in a substantial showroom at Burleigh Waters on the Gold Coast through Ray White Commercial.
L & H has leased the approximately 600 sqm property next door to Total Tools at 6 Executive Drive, Burleigh Waters, in a deal negotiated by Tony Grbcic and Adam Grbcic of Ray White Commercial Burleigh.
Tony Grbcic said there was strong interest in the vacant showroom/bulky goods offering subleased by Total Tools in the heart of Burleigh Waters.
"We had several proposals from indoor recreational users and service industries for this tenancy which is next to Treetops Shopping Centre ," he said.
"However, the property was secured by Land H Electrical and it creates a good synergy having them next door to Total Tools."
Adam Grbcic said the new Bunnings and Masters (Varsity Lakes) are playing a big role in businesses searching for space in the Burleigh area.
"This particular property is very strategically positioned with proximity to Bermuda Street, Reedy Creek Road, the Pacific Motorway and the Gold Coast Highway," he said.
"There are also more than 80 onsite car parking spaces and excellent exposure and signage rights."
L & H Group has taken out a 3 + 3 year lease at a gross rental of approximately $114,000 per annum.

LVM and dm-crypt -- best way to encrypt a logical volume?
I have two drives, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I set up a volume group called "fileshare" which is composed of a bunch of logical volumes (called "music," "video," etc.) spread across both drives. Then I formatted them.
Everything shows up fine in the actual system; I can mount /dev/mapper/fileshare-video and read and write to it just fine. I want to encrypt everything but /boot and the / directory but am having trouble figuring out the most elegant way to do it.
I can easily use cryptsetup to encrypt /dev/mapper/fileshare-(whatever) but it seems hackish. Case in point-
cryptsetup luksFormat -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 /dev/mapper/fileshare-video
Is this simply *the* way to do it or is there a way to avoid having to create a separate /dev/mapper entry? I've read that one can encrypt the whole VG, which spares me from having to enter the key once for every partition when I decrypt them at boot. Can't figure out how to do that though, as:
cryptsetup luksFormat -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 /dev/fileshare
Any tips would be appreciated!
first you need to create the encrypted container (without filesystem), then the lvm volume-group inside it.
I think I understand the concept...make a container, encrypt it, then set up a filesystem within it. Ok.
Just to make sure I understand the actual procedure though, I still have to set up LVM beforehand, right? Once I have a (physical?) volume spanning the two drives, I would create a container on that volume, encrypt it, mount it, and set up a filesystem within it.
Do I have that right?
If you want to encrypt your entire volume-group (as stated in your first post) you need to setup the encryption _before_ the lvm. Basically like this:
Create the enrypted container:
cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-essiv:sha256 --key-size 256 luksFormat /dev/whereever-your-physical-partition-is
open the container:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/whereever-your-physical-partition-is my-enc-container
you now have /dev/mapper/my-enc-container as device, on which you now create the volume group:
pvcreate /dev/mapper/my-enc-container
vgcreate my-vol-group /dev/mapper/my-enc-container
now you can create your logical volumes with 'lvcreate' and setup your config files.
Got it. Thanks so much. I didn't quite understand the concept of "container," hence my confusion.

Simple taglib bindings to Javascript using node.js
node-taglib is a simple binding to TagLib in Javascript.
It requires node.js.
For now it exposes Tag and AudioProperties. Synchronous write support is supported for Tag.
NOTE: Asynchronous API requires use of TagLib from git since certain bugs present in the released v1.7 cause problems.
// load the library
var taglib = require('taglib');
// asynchronous API
taglib.tag(path, function(err, tag) {
tag.artist; // => "Queen"
tag.title = "Erm";
// synchronous API
var tag = taglib.tagSync(path);
tag.title; // => "Another one bites the dust"
tag.artist; // => "Kween"
tag.artist = "Queen";
tag.isEmpty(); // => false
tag.saveSync(); // => true
npm install taglib
# make sure you have node and taglib installed
git clone git://github.com/nikhilm/node-taglib.git

About 2 weeks ago, I was reminded by the fact that time waits for no one, and without realizing, I was another year
older wiser. I really do believe that time seems to fly much faster when you have a baby! Every day is just a mad rush in the morning and right after work. The only solace I have is actually during work in the office, where I have my own me-time, doing my own thing, without having to constantly look up to see where Little J has gone to, or whether it's time to prepare his food, get him to nap, etc. I can do things according to my own schedule, not his, and it's liberating, for that 8-9 hours a day. Right after work though, it's a continuation of my hectic rush of picking him from child care, preparing dinner, feeding him and myself at the same time, doing the dishes, preparing his bath, milk and finally putting him to bed. Repeat this every day and night, and without you knowing, a week has passed, and then a month and now, a year!
Birthday cake
Since my birthday fell on a weekday, Saucer and I decided to take the day off, send Little J to child care as usual, and have a day out, just the two of us! Yes, we have to resort to taking our annual leaves to have some alone time, now that we have Little J in our lives. Don't get me wrong, nothing in the world makes us happier than he does, but once in a while, we need to have some adult time with each other too. And so it started with us watching a movie together in the cinemas. Gosh, almost forgot how that felt like! 🙂 Then, we took the train to the city, and had lunch at Lowenbrau Keller at The Rocks. Being the birthday girl, I had my meal there for free! So generous of them indeed.
Schweinshaxn / Oven-Roasted Pork Knuckle (AUD$36)
Crispy pork knuckle skin
Upon the waitress' recommendation, I had the Oven-Roasted Pork Knuckle that came with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. The pork knuckle was huge! The skin was mostly crispy (except for some parts on the sides which were still chewy and rubbery) but we thought it was overly salted. Yes, I know that we have to salt the skin to get it to be crispy but I would expect the chef to remove most of the salt once it's done. Other than that, did I mention that the portion was really huge? It was full of meat and even after 20 minutes of eating, Saucer looked at my plate and said, "It looks like you didn't even touch the dish!".
Jägerpfanne /Charcoal-Grilled Veal Backstrap (AUD$31)
Saucer, on the other hand, ordered something different. We were well aware of the fact that German restaurants are usually good for pork knuckles, sausages and beer, but since we're already having 2 out of the 3 specialties, he decided to go with the Charcoal-Grilled Veal Backstrap. It was served with home made egg noodles, mushroom sauce and melted cheese in a cast iron pan. When the dish came, I have to admit that it didn't look all that appetizing because everything was mixed up into a mush. But it did smell amazing because of the cheese, and Saucer liked the veal too. So I was too quick to judge. But would we order this again next time? Probably not. We prefer sticking to the old favourites. 🙂
Saucer and his dark beer
Lowenbrau Dunkel (AUD$12)
Having pork knuckle in a German restaurant without a beer seemed like a crime, so we ordered one. The Lowenbrau dark beer was surprisingly very smooth and easy to drink, even for my standards. In fact, it was the perfect drink that day since it was quite warm in the afternoon, and the cold, smooth and refreshing beer was what we needed.
Pork knuckle and I
In the middle of our meal, I was faced with yet another surprise with a 2-person band walked to our table and asked if someone was celebrating her birthday today. I nodded embarrassingly and they broke into a Happy Birthday song complete with 3 cheers. 🙂
Saucer and his veal
After our long and filling lunch, we took a walk around Circular Quay and visited the Museum of Contemporary Arts for the first time. It was quite impressive that such a large and spacious building in prime location is used to appreciate modern arts with free entrance. We then walked to the city to get me my birthday present but the item that I wanted was out of my size. 🙁 I guess I will have to make do with a belated birthday gift.
Home-cooked dinner by Saucer
When it was time to head home, we took the train back and Saucer insisted to do some grocery shopping before picking Little J up. The sweet man wanted to make me dinner for my birthday! It was nothing fancy, but just knowing that he put in the effort to make my day special was enough to make me gooey inside. After dinner, we completed the celebration with a birthday cake. I insisted on waiting until Little J was back to cut the cake, because it wouldn't be complete without him in the picture, would it? We had a pretty tear drop shaped cake from La Renaissance, a famous patisserie in The Rocks. It was a mixed berry mouse cake encased in almond sponge and topped with glazed berries. Tasted as good as it looked too! Yum!

Last but not least, a family picture for the album. We managed to take this self-timer shot after less than 10 tries, which was quite an achievement seeing that Little J is always so fidgety. My birthday celebration overall – it was nothing fancy, no romantic candle-lit dinners, no late-night movies, none of that. But we have our little bundle of joy with us, and that makes a whole lot of difference. I wouldn't want to have it any other way, this year, and for many years to come. 🙂

I own a medium size 4x4 and was looking for a tyre suitable for summer and winter. This tyre fits the bill perfect for me. The tread pattern is impressive, they will get you through snow with no problem. Deep grooves, great grip. It's not a 'chunky tyre' so it's good in the summertime too. You might notice them a little noisy on smooth tarmac, but it's nothing to moan about. Nothing to complain about the overall grip either. A great tyre at a good price. They have lasted me three years with average annual mileage.28/11/2014
