[Look for the podcast play button below.]
Holy cow, I'm giddy with excitement, because I have an extraordinary program in store for you today. I am honored to be welcoming my first transgendered guest to the show. Just to be clear, it's not like I haven't reached out to other transgendered people in the past; I have. It just that I was never was able to seal the deal.
So when I contacted Toni Newman, the author of the groundbreaking: I Rise – The Transformation of Toni Newman, I kind of expected the same kind of noncommittal response I got from the other prospective guests. I was so pleasantly surprised to find that not only was Toni willing to come speak with us, she has an inspirational story of survival and triumph over the most amazing odds to tell.
But wait; that's not all! This show is a twofer, don't cha know. My guest, our conversation and the themes discussed in this podcast easily fall into both the SEX WISDOM series and the Sex EDGE-U-cation series.
Toni is, of course, among the movers and shakers in the field of human sexuality; who are making news and helping us take a fresh look at our sexual selves. But she's also a former sex worker who honestly and forthrightly speaks about her life on the streets and as a tranny dominatrix. Hold on to your hats, sex fans, you'll not find a more startling and revealing interview anywhere on the net.
Toni and I discuss:
- Being the first African-American transgendered person to write a memoir;
- The unique perspective of transgendered people or color;
- Transgender/transsexual;
- Gender and genitalia;
- Being shunned by other sexual minorities;
- Transgender and sexual orientation;
- Her life before her transition;
- The difficulties she faced in her transition;
- The phenomenal expense of a transition;
- Being a sex worker.
Toni invites you to visit her on her site HERE! She's on Facebook HERE! And enjoy her twitter feed HERE!

Exploit writing tutorial part 11 : Heap Spraying Demystified
A lot has been said and written already about heap spraying, but most of the existing documentation and whitepapers focus on IE7 or older versions.
Although there are a number of public exploits available that target IE8, the exact technique to do so has not been really documented in detail.
Of course, you can probably derive how it works by looking at those public exploits.
With this tutorial, I'm going to provide you with a full and detailed overview on what heap spraying is, and how to use it on old and newer platforms.
I'll start with some "ancient" techniques (or classic techniques if you will) that can be used on IE6 and IE7.
We'll also look at heap spraying for non-browser applications.
Next, we'll talk about precision heap spraying, which is a requirement to make DEP bypass exploits work on IE8.
I'll finish this tutorial with sharing some of my own research on getting reliable heap spraying to work on IE9.

Third, read the FAQ, as many questions are answered there. Finally, if you still have questions ask questions in The Weblog Awards forum.
IMPORTANT - Users on home networks with multiple computers, behind corporate firewalls, or at educational institutions should avoid voting at the same time or one right after another for the same finalist. Read this note about how to successfully vote in these environments.
Please note that to reduce the load on our server when you cast your vote the counters are incremented on your display and the vote is recorded in the database. If you refresh your browser it will appear as if your vote has disappeared. That is not the case, it's simply a caching issue. Your vote is safely recorded and everyone else sees your vote. If you close your browser completely the next time you load the poll the totals displayed will include your vote.
Nominations for The 2008 Weblog Awards were, as always, open and public. There were over 5,000 nominations in the 48 categories. You can navigate all of the nomination via the master list of nomination posts here.
All polls are subject to correction for overvoting, or other identified cheating, prior to the finalization of the results. Polls that hava vote totals adjusted will be listed here.
Embed This Poll On Your Site!
Requirements: You will need a 480px wide by 720px high space to show the poll.
You must the code in the extended entry text of an individual post or on its own dedicated page. You may not have the poll displayed on the front page of your blog. If we find (or learn of) sites showing polls on their main page we will block the poll from loading on their site at all. The IFRAME provides protection for your site in the event our site experiences slow load times.
We can't really help you in your embedding, but we have put together a couple tips for popular bloggging systems. In WordPress, click on the "Insert More tag" button, which will put a divider in your post. Paste the code after the divider. In Movable Type, Typepad, and Expression Engine use the extended entry section on the posting screen. Movable Type and Typepad users may have to use the "customize" option on the posting screen display to add the extended entry area to their posting screen. Blogger users will need to create a backdated post that doesn't appear on the front page and post the code into that post. If you don't have any of those systems, or can't do extended entries you can setup a dedicated page on your site to host the poll. Basically we just don't want the poll on your front page.
We can't really provide support if things don't look right. The most common mistake is that the an cuting and pasting the code introduces a stray line break in the code block. If you're having problems head over to the forums to see if you can get peer support. With that warning, here's the code to embed this poll on your site:
<iframe align=center src=http://2008.weblogawards.org/remote/bestreligious.php frameBorder=0 width=480 scrolling=no height=720></iframe>
Copy and paste the code into the extended entry area of a blog post, publish, and you should see this poll. Be kind and provide links to the other finalists sites since we could not include them in the IFRAME.
We reserve the right to block polls from appearing at any site, for any reason.Return to the The 2008 Weblog Award Poll Navigation Page.

Beautillion: A night for young men to shine
Presentation night is almost like a fairytale: A beautifully decorated ballroom, hundreds of proud family members in formal attire and a dinner fit for a king. Cameras flash, music plays and applause echoes as 32 Beaus — high school seniors with extensive accomplishments in and out of the classroom — are introduced on a stage festooned in holiday colors of red and white.
The focus is on the here and now, a public acknowledgement of the hard work and clear sense of direction that led the young men to be chosen for the Beautillion Class of 2010. There also was a nod to what the future can hold if the honorees continue to apply themselves.
The honorees realize, and appreciate, the status they've been granted by being a Beau; they also are quick to credit those who've helped them get there: a parent, a teacher, a mentor, a friend.
For Beau Dakota Gonring, that would be his parents, Phillip and Jacqueline Gonring, and his East High School math teacher, Mark Calhoun. "I'm a math geek," Gonring admits, "but in previous math classes I just wasn't excited. Mr. Calhoun puts math into real-world applications and gets me excited about learning. Every day that I walk into his classroom I know I'll be faced with a challenge, and I like that."
Gonring also wrote the winning entry in an essay contest held in conjunction with the Beaus' service project, a day spent with 3rd, 4th and 5th grade boys at McGlone Elementary School in Montbello. In his essay, Gonring describes his experiences with Shawn, an 8-year-old "bent on playing basketball in the NBA." Shawn was a pistol on the basketball court, but had trouble spelling and reading — and that shocked and saddened the Beaus.
"I only understand now that I am truly blessed with a family that cares about my success and pushes me to achieve greatness," Gonring writes. "It was clear that Shawn was not given the support (at home) that he needed to succeed."
Beau DeVaghn Gamlin, who has a total of five varsity letters in baseball and football, hopes to attend San Diego State University following his graduation from Smoky Hill High School. His goal is to become a high school history teacher. "I've been blessed with a lot of good history teachers, and I love the subject," he said.
Kyle Patterson is the son of Denver's manager of parks and recreation, Kevin Patterson, the grandson of retired Denver County Court Judge Robert "Beau" Patterson, and aspires to a career as an airport manager. "We live near the airport and ever since I was little, I've been looking up at the sky," Kyle said. "I love airports, and want to make running one my career."
Kyle Patterson also is an accomplished trumpet player and is a band major at Denver School of the Arts.
Sponsored by Denver chapter of Jack and Jill of America, the 27th Beautillion was held Dec. 19 at the Sheraton Denver Downtown. Jan Dunn and Toshia Foley were the co-chairs; Will Jones, public relations manager for Denver Botanic Gardens, and Jevard Hitch, who went on to become a successful businessman after being a Beau in 1992, were the masters of ceremony.
Faye Wilson Tate is president of Denver chapter; her niece, Ellen Wallace Tate, was the escort for Beau Nate Sturges, captain of Regis Jesuit High School's track team. Ellen attends Boulder High School and is believed to be the first Boulder High student to serve as a Beautillion escort.
Special guests included Tara Labrie, national president of Jack and Jill, and her daughter, Briana, the organization's Central Region teen president. This is the first time in 40 years that a Denver woman has headed the national board and the first time ever that a mother and daughter have served in top positions at the same time.
Other Beaus were:
Jimmie Marcel Austin Jr., who plans to major in computer systems engineering at a college yet to be decided upon and then embark on a career in the U.S. Navy. He's on Principal's Honor Roll at Cherokee Trail High School.
Allen Jeffrey Bolden, Jr., who will be valedictorian for his Regis Jesuit High School graduating class. Allen would like to major in urban planning or architectural design at Georgia Institute of Technology or Arizona State University.

Redskins running back Alfred Morris turned in an excellent rookie season in 2012, running for 1,613 yards and 13 touchdowns to help the Redskins to the NFC East title.
Morris had the element of surprise working for him early last season as a sixth-round pick who came into the year with modest expectations. He won't get any such benefits this time around, which makes it a good thing for the Redskins that Morris feels he's improved across the board over the player he was during his rookie season.
"I'm definitely psyched to get back out there," Morris said during an appearance on CSN Washington. "I feel better, I feel faster, I feel stronger. I'm a lot smarter, I'm a lot more confident now. So I'm looking to see how this year turns out."
There's been no shortage of positivity about Robert Griffin III's recovery from last season's knee injury, but a heavy and productive dose of Morris would make it much easier for Washington to avoid putting too much burden on their quarterback. A bigger, stronger and smarter version of the 2012 Morris can provide that dose and that should make it more likely that things turn out well in Washington.

I had two options here. A chat about my own D-day, or some ideas for people reading here who just got the news.
I'll leave the chat for some other time.
So, you've just found out you have type 2 diabetes? Or Impaired Glucose Tolerance? Or Pre-diabetes? Or the doctor said "you've got a touch of sugar" or something similar?
And you're in shock?
Why me?
Well, I don't really have an answer for that. To me it seemed bloody unfair. Why me? And I railed against the world for a while – but then I decided to get on with it. Because I can't change the past, and how do I correct the mistake of choosing the wrong grand-parents? Particularly as I liked mine:-)
So my first suggestion to any newly diagnosed person reading this is the most important one of all:
It's NOT your fault. Take a deep breath, sit back, and relax.
Forget the hype and the TV ads about obesity (10-15% of type 2's are normal or underweight at diagnosis), lifestyle, whatever – that's in the past, even if it was relevant, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
OK – so you've got a flawed glucose/insulin system. I don't care what label they put on it, or what stage you're at – what matters is what you intend to do about it. So first, the good news. Unless you've been diagnosed at a very late stage, this is a slow-moving disease – you have time to learn, time to correct things, and time to improve your health for a long-term future. And there is more good news: nearly every person I've met who used this diagnosis as a kick-start to get fitter and healthier has improved all sorts of other aspects of their health at the same time.
What to do next? I'll give some detailed ideas based on what I did in the next post. But there are some general points first. In everything I say, I assume that anyone reading here will always be seeing their doctor on a regular basis, be taking the medicines prescribed by their doctors, and checking any suggestions here with their doctors.
However, never forget that the person who will be most affected by poor advice from any source will be you – not me, not your doctor, but you. In my opinion, more than nearly any other condition, the success of management of diabetes depends on the diabetic. So, while your medics can advise and prescribe – it's your decisions and your actions that will decide your future.
In broad terms, this is the plan, in addition to anything the docs prescribe:
1. If you are overweight – lose it. I've posted some ideas on what I did as my Weight Loss Cooking and Eating Plan
2. Obtain a blood glucose test meter. Until you do, here are some tips on What to Eat Until You Get Your Meter.
3. Learn how to test your blood glucose (BG). I've posted some hints on painless testing methods as Painless Pricks
4. Use those tests to adjust your menu to get those blood glucose numbers into the non-diabetic range. I've given some ideas on how to do that in the next post titled Test, Review, Adjust
5. Add at least half an hour of moderate exercise to your day. That's a minimum, not a maximum. If that's a new activity for you, start easy and work up slowly – but do it.
6. Later, as your diet for optimum weight and optimum BG's starts to work, review it and adjust to ensure you aren't missing anything vital.
There's more – but that's enough to start with. So stop reading, go and have a glass of wine or a diet soda and think about something else for a while:-)
And remember my sig:

It's understandable that car insurance rates can change when you move. One neighborhood might have more accidents or burglaries than another.
But health insurance?
Joan Swope, 62, moved recently from Cathedral City, just down the road from Palm Springs, to nearby Palm Desert.
She informed her insurer, Anthem Blue Cross, of the change of address. A few weeks later, Anthem responded with a notice stating that, because of the move, Swope's monthly premium on her individual policy will increase to $524 from $418.
That's a more than 25% rate hike. For a move of less than 10 miles.
"It's ridiculous," Swope told me. "I'm going to the same doctor. I'm going to the same facilities and the same drugstore. Nothing has changed."
Nothing except her ZIP Code. And in the actuarial world of insurance, that's a sufficiently life-altering event to justify an extra $1,272 in annual payments — on top of a $5,000 deductible.

If these tests have positive results, then the device will go on sale, with mass-market to follow if software is unready.
If these tests have positive results, then the device will go on sale, with mass-market to follow if software is unready.
This confirmed (see [[Talk:Neo1973|Talk page]]):
* Sep 20 - GTA02v3 design finalised.
* Sep 20 - GTA02v3 design finalised.
Revision as of 14:15, 20 September 2007
The Neo1973 is the first phone designed to run OpenMoko. It is a phone that can be used with any GSM operator, and it is manufactured by FIC who instigated the OpenMoko project.
If you just received a Neo1973 here are some suggestions for getting started.
Neo1973 Hardware and Disassembling Neo1973 have more information on the hardware.
See OpenMoko, OpenMokoFramework, MokoMakefile and Development resources for more information about source code.
See FAQ for other Frequently Asked Questions.
Phase 0 (GTA01Bv3)
- Main article Neo1973 Phase 0
- See also Wishlist:Neo1973_P0_Review
36 developers have received their devices. [1]
Phase 1 (GTA01Bv4)
- Main article Neo1973 Phase 1
You can order from https://direct.openmoko.com/ now. See also the Group Order page.
The Neo Base costs $300, the Neo Advanced costs $450.
See Neo1973 Hardware for what components GTA01B_v04 contains.
Neo Base -- everything the mobile application developer needs to enjoy the benefits of the first freed phone, the Neo1973:
* Neo1973 (GTA01B_v4) * Battery (1200mAh) * Stylus * Headset * Phone Pouch * Lanyard * SanDisk 512MB MicroSD Card * Mini USB Connectivity Cable
Neo Advanced -- everything the mobile device hacker wants to get down and dirty with the first freed phone, the Neo1973:
* Neo1973 (GTA01B_v4) * Battery (1200mAh) (2x) * Stylus * Headset * Phone Pouch * Lanyard * SanDisk 512MB MicroSD Card (2x) * Mini USB Connectivity Cable (2x) * Debug Flex Cable * Debug Board v2 (JTAG and serial console) * Ruggedized Toolbox with shoulder strap * Guitar Pick (for opening case) * Torx T6 screwdriver
You do not need the Advanced package to do normal kernel, or application development, only perhaps hacking on u-boot.
As described in Sean's post on mailing list (with some adjustments/corrections).
"Phase 2" (GTA02, "Mass Market")
GTA02 is currently (September 2007) undergoing evaluation of different GTA02v2 designs, to determine optimum GPS chipset, and other things. (Source: IRC - mickeyl)
This will then be distributed to a short list of qualified developers.
If these tests have positive results, then the device will go on sale, with mass-market to follow if software is unready.

* One speaker, becoming mono.
We will sell this device through multiple channels. Direct from openmoko.com, the price will be $450 for the Neo Base and $600 for Neo Advanced.
Adds to the Phase 1 phone (see side by side comparison):
- 2D/3D-Graphics-Accelerator
- 2 Accelerometers (model and number is uncertain)
- Faster CPU - S3C2442/400
- WiFi: Atheros AR6K (see also [3])
- Above from [4] and other sources

Genetics for Epidemiologists: Applications of Human Genomics to Population Sciences, was a short course for investigators and trainees in the field of epidemiology and related population-based sciences. It was conducted by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) on May 13-14, 2008 at Northwestern University in Chicago. The goal of Genetics for Epidemiologists (GFE) was to familiarize epidemiologists and population-based researchers with recent developments in the theory and methods of human genetics that might be applied to the study of the distribution, natural history and etiology of diseases in populations.
The course consisted of eight one-hour lectures and focused on the interface between genetics and epidemiology. Emphasis was on the application of modern human genome analysis methodologies to studies of human populations through the design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation of studies which effectively answer the epidemiologic question of interest.
GFE is co-sponsored by the Office of Population Genomics, NHGRI, and the Department of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. These videocasts are provided as an educational tool for epidemiologic investigators interested in learning more about applying genomics to their work.

Cricket, England's national summer sport, which is now played throughout the world, particularly in Australia, India, Pakistan, the West Indies, and the British Isles.
Cricket is played with a bat and ball and involves two competing sides (teams) of 11 players. The field is oval with a rectangular area in the middle, known as the pitch, that is 22 yards (20.12 metres) by 10 feet (3.04 metres) wide. Two sets of three sticks, called wickets, are set in the ground at each end of the pitch. Across the top of each wicket lie horizontal pieces called bails. The sides take turns at batting and bowling (pitching); each turn is called an "innings" (always plural). Sides have one or two innings each, depending on the prearranged duration of the match, the object being to score the most runs. The bowlers, delivering the ball with a straight arm, try to break (hit) the wicket with the ball so that the bails fall. This is one of several ways that the batsman is dismissed, or put out. A bowler delivers six balls at one wicket (thus completing an "over"), then a different player from his side bowls six balls to the opposite wicket. The batting side defends its wicket.
There are two batsman up at a time, and the batsman being bowled to (the striker) tries to hit the ball away from the wicket. A hit may be defensive or offensive. A defensive hit may protect the wicket but leave the batsmen no time to run to the opposite wicket. In that case the batsmen need not run, and play will resume with another bowl. If the batsman can make an offensive hit, he and the second batsman (the nonstriker) at the other wicket change places. Each time both batsmen can reach the opposite wicket, one run is scored. Providing they have enough time without being caught out and dismissed, the batsmen may continue to cross back and forth between the wickets, earning an additional run for each time both reach the opposite side. There is an outside boundary around the cricket field. A ball hit to or beyond the boundary scores four points if it hits the ground and then reaches the boundary, six points if it reaches the boundary from the air (a fly ball). The team with the highest number of runs wins a match. Should both teams be unable to complete their number of innings before the time allotted, the match is declared a draw. Scores in the hundreds are common in cricket.
Matches in cricket can range from informal weekend afternoon encounters on village greens to top-level international contests spread over five days in Test matches and played by leading professional players in grand stadiums.
Cricket is believed to have begun possibly as early as the 13th century as a game in which country boys bowled at a tree stump or at the hurdle gate into a sheep pen. This gate consisted of two uprights and a crossbar resting on the slotted tops; the crossbar was called a bail and the entire gate a wicket. The fact that the bail could be dislodged when the wicket was struck made this preferable to the stump, which name was later applied to the hurdle uprights. Early manuscripts differ about the size of the wicket, which acquired a third stump in the 1770s, but by 1706 the pitch—the area between the wickets—was 22 yards long.
The ball, once presumably a stone, has remained much the same since the 17th century. Its modern weight of between 5.5 and 5.75 ounces (156 and 163 grams) was established in 1774.
The primitive bat was no doubt a shaped branch of a tree, resembling a modern hockey stick but considerably longer and heavier. The change to a straight bat was made to defend against length bowling, which had evolved with cricketers in Hambledon, a small village in southern England. The bat was shortened in the handle and straightened and broadened in the blade, which led to forward play, driving, and cutting. As bowling technique was not very advanced during this period, batting dominated bowling through the 18th century.
The early years
The earliest reference to an 11-a-side match, played in Sussex for a stake of 50 guineas, dates from 1697. In 1709 Kent met Surrey in the first recorded intercounty match at Dartford, and it is probable that about this time a code of laws (rules) existed for the conduct of the game, although the earliest known version of such rules is dated 1744. Sources suggest that cricket was limited to the southern counties of England during the early 18th century, but its popularity grew and eventually spread to London, notably to the Artillery Ground, Finsbury, which saw a famous match between Kent and All-England in 1744. Heavy betting and disorderly crowds were common at matches.
The aforementioned Hambledon Club, playing in Hampshire on Broadhalfpenny Down, was the predominant cricket force in the second half of the 18th century before the rise of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in London. Formed from a cricket club that played at White Conduit Fields, the club moved to Lord's Cricket Ground in St. Marylebone borough in 1787 and became the MCC and in the following year published its first revised code of laws. Lord's, which was named after its founder, Thomas Lord, has had three locations over its history. Moving to the current ground in St. John's Wood in 1814, Lord's became the headquarters of world cricket.
In 1836 the first match of North counties versus South counties was played, providing clear evidence of the spread of cricket. In 1846 the All-England XI, founded by William Clarke of Nottingham, began touring the country, and from 1852, when some of the leading professionals (including John Wisden, who later compiled the first of the famous Wisden almanacs on cricketing) seceded to form the United All-England XI, these two teams monopolized the best cricket talent until the rise of county cricket. They supplied the players for the first English touring team overseas in 1859.
Technical development
Until early in the 19th century all bowling was underhand, and most bowlers favoured the high-tossed lob. Next came "the round-arm revolution," in which many bowlers began raising the point at which they released the ball. Controversy raged furiously, and in 1835 the MCC rephrased the law to allow the hand to be raised as high as the shoulder. The new style led to a great increase in pace, or bowling speed. Gradually bowlers raised the hand higher and higher in defiance of the law. Matters were brought to a head in 1862 when an England team playing against Surrey left the field at London's Kennington Oval in protest over a "no ball" call (i.e., an umpire's decision that the bowler has thrown an illegal pitch). The argument centred on whether the bowler should be allowed to raise his arm above the shoulder. As a result of this controversy, the bowler was in 1864 officially accorded liberty to bowl overhand (but not to cock and straighten the arm). This change dramatically altered the game, making it yet more difficult for a batsman to judge the ball. Already a bowler was allowed to take a running start from any direction and for any distance. Once the bowler was allowed to release overhand, the ball could then reach speeds above 90 mph (145 km/hr). Though this is not as fast as the pitching speed in baseball, cricket has an additional twist in that the ball is usually delivered so as to bounce on the pitch (field) before the batsman can hit it. Thus, the ball may curve to the right or the left, bounce low or high, or spin toward or away from the batsman.
Batsmen learned to protect themselves with pads and batting gloves, and a cane handle increased the resilience of the bat. Only the best batsmen, however, could cope with fast bowling, because the poor condition of most pitches made it yet more difficult for a batsman to predict the motion of the ball. As the grounds improved, however, batsmen grew accustomed to the new bowling style and went on the offensive. Other new bowling styles were also discovered, causing batsmen to adjust their technique further.
In the early 20th century so many runs were being scored that debate ensued on reforming the "leg-before-wicket" law, which had been introduced in the 1774 laws to prohibit a batsman from using his body to prevent the ball from hitting his wicket. But the heavy scores were actually due to the performances of several outstanding batsmen, such as W.G. Grace, Sir John Berry Hobbs, and K.S. Ranjitsinhji (later the maharaja of Nawanagar). This was cricket's golden age.
In the 20th century there was a series of attempts to aid the bowler and quicken the tempo of the game. Nevertheless, the game by the mid-20th century was characterized not by overwhelming offense but by defensive play on both sides and by a slow pace. In an attempt to shore up a declining fan base, one-day, or limited-overs, cricket was introduced. One-day cricket had first been played internationally when, after a Test match was rained out for the first days, on the last scheduled day of play a limited-overs match was held in order to give the fans some game to watch. The response was enthusiastic, and one-day cricket came into being. In this version of cricket the limited number of overs (usually 50 per side) leads to a faster paced though much-altered game. In one-day cricket there are some restrictions on placement of fielders. This led to new batting styles, such as the paddle shot (wherein the ball is hit behind the wicket because there are usually no fielders there) and the lofted shot (where the batsman tries to hit the ball past the fielders and over their heads). Twenty20 (T20), a style of one-day cricket consisting of 20 overs per side, debuted in 2003 and quickly became an international sensation. The first Twenty20 world championship was held in 2007, and one-day cricket, particularly Twenty20, became more popular than Test matches worldwide, although Test cricket retained a large following in England. The pace of Test matches increased dramatically in the late 20th century with the introduction of new bowling strategies.
Organization of sport and types of competition
County and university cricket
Some of the earliest organized cricket matches were between amateur and professional players. From 1806 (annually from 1819) to 1962, the Gentlemen-versus-Players match pitted the best amateurs against the best professionals. The series was ended in 1962 when the MCC and the counties abandoned the distinction between amateurs and professionals. Other early cricket matches took place between British universities. The Oxford-versus-Cambridge match, for example, has been played mainly at Lord's since 1827 and became a high point of the summer season in London.
University cricket was a kind of nursery for county cricket—i.e., matches between the various counties of England. Although the press acclaimed a "champion county" (Sussex) as early as 1827, qualification rules for county cricket were not laid down until 1873, and it was only in 1890 that the format of the county championship was formalized by the counties themselves. Gloucestershire dominated the 1870s, thanks to W.G. Grace and his brothers E.M. and G.F. Grace. From the 1880s to World War I, Nottinghamshire, Surrey, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Kent, and Middlesex constituted the Big Six that dominated county cricket. After World War I the northern counties, led by Yorkshire and Lancashire, largely professional teams, were the leaders. Surrey, with seven successive championships, dominated in the 1950s and Yorkshire in the 1960s, followed by Kent and Middlesex in the 1970s. The 1980s were dominated by Middlesex, Worcestershire, Essex, and Nottinghamshire. Other counties in first-class county cricket are Leicestershire, Somerset, Hampshire, Durham, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, Sussex, Northamptonshire, and Glamorgan.
After a postwar boom, slow play and lower numbers of runs characterized the 1950s, and this defensive nature of county cricket led to progressively decreased attendance. In the 1960s the MCC and the counties introduced a one-day knockout competition—called the Gillette Cup (1963–1980), the NatWest Bank Trophy (1981–2000), the C&G Trophy (2000–06), and the Friends Provident Trophy (2006–09)—and a separate Sunday afternoon league (the two competitions were merged in 2010 as the Clydesdale Bank 40), which revived public interest, although most counties remained dependent financially on proceeds from football pools and money received from Test matches and broadcasting fees. The immediate registration of overseas players was permitted, and each county, as of the early 1980s, was allowed one such player, who could, however, still play for his national team. The change worked well for the counties, and it also strengthened the national teams for whom those players appeared. In county cricket, bonus points were created to encourage batsmen and bowlers to play less defensively, and from 1988, to help the development of young batsmen and spin bowlers, four-day games increasingly replaced the three-day format. The longer game gives batsmen more time to build an innings and relieves them of the pressure to score runs quickly. Spin bowlers benefit from the longer game because the pitch wears as the game progresses and permits greater spin.
The Cricket Council and the ECB
A reorganization of English cricket took place in 1969, resulting in the end of the MCC's long reign as the controlling body of the game, though the organization still retains responsibility for the laws. With the establishment of the Sports Council (a government agency charged with control of sports in Great Britain) and with the possibility of obtaining government aid for cricket, the MCC was asked to create a governing body for the game along the lines generally accepted by other sports in Great Britain. The Cricket Council, comprising the Test and County Cricket Board (TCCB), the National Cricket Association (NCA), and the MCC, was the result of these efforts. The TCCB, which amalgamated the Advisory County Cricket Committee and the Board of Control of Test Matches at Home, had responsibility for all first-class and minor-counties cricket in England and for overseas tours. The NCA consisted of representatives from clubs, schools, armed services cricket, umpires, and the Women's Cricket Association. In 1997 there was another reorganization, and the TCCB, the NCA, and the Cricket Council were all subsumed under the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).Marcus K. Williams Rex Alston
International cricket
International cricket in the early part of the 20th century was dominated by the original members of the Imperial Cricket Conference, England, Australia, and South Africa. Later renamed the International Cricket Conference and then the International Cricket Council, the ICC gradually took over more responsibility for the administration of the game and shifted its power base from west to east. When in 2005 the ICC moved its offices from Lord's in London—home of the MCC, the game's original rulers and still its lawmakers—to Dubai, the shift away from the old ways of governance was complete. The priorities of the game changed too. By the turn of the 21st century, only Australia and England still played Test cricket to full houses. Everywhere else, and particularly in India and Pakistan, crowds flocked to see limited-overs internationals. Test cricket became almost an afterthought. Although the power to change the laws of the game have remained with the MCC, the ICC developed its own Code of Conduct for players, officials, and administrators, which sets out disciplinary procedures and protects the spirit of the game. It also organized major international tournaments, including the one-day and Twenty20 World Cups and the Champions Trophy. In 2000 the ICC set up the Anti-Corruption Unit (renamed the Anti-Corruption Unit and Security Unit in 2003) to combat the growing threat of illegal gambling and match fixing. At the beginning of the 2010s, the ICC had 10 full members and dozens of associate and affiliate members.
One of the founding members of the ICC, Australia remains one of its most powerful countries both on and off the field. The history of cricket in Australia dates to 1803 when the game was introduced by the crew of a British ship. The first intercolonial match took place in 1851 between Victoria and Tasmania, and by the end of the 19th century teams from England were touring Australia regularly. The first official Test match was played in Melbourne in 1877 by Australia and England, beginning the oldest rivalry in international cricket, a series that became known as The Ashes (see Test Matches below).
Cricket is played throughout Australia, and matches are ferociously competitive at every level. All the great Australian players from Sir Don Bradman to Shane Warne developed their skills in club cricket before graduating to the state and national teams, and the Australian style of cricket is marked by aggressiveness with bat, ball, and, often, voice in an attempt to intimidate opponents. Through the 20th century, Australia produced a series of outstanding teams, and the country dominated international cricket into the new century, winning three successive one-day World Cups (1999–2007) and twice recording runs of 16 consecutive Test victories (1999–2001 and 2005–08). In 2005 England's Test victory over Australia, the first since 1987, was celebrated with an open-top bus ride through the city of London.
In June 2000 Bangladesh became the 10th country to be accorded full Test status. It played its first Test match in November of that year, against India in Dhaka. Known as the Tigers, the Bangladeshi team struggled to perform at the highest level, winning only three of its first 68 Tests. However, Bangladesh has defeated the nine countries that preceded it to Test status in one-day matches, a feat completed with a victory over England in Bristol in 2010. Bangladesh's first appearance in an international tournament had come in England in the ICC Trophy competition for associate members in 1979. In 1997 Bangladesh won the trophy and qualified for the 1999 World Cup, beating Pakistan in the group stages. A domestic first-class tournament between six regional teams was established in 2000–01. Since Bangladesh gained Test status, cricket arguably has become the most popular sport in the country.
Cricket is played in every corner of India, on city streets, in village fields, and on maidans—open playing fields, the largest of which (such as the Azad, Cross, and Oval maidans in South Mumbai) can host dozens of overlapping matches. Historically, Indian cricketers have displayed a good eye and strong wrists, and Indian batsmen, most notably Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar, have been some of the most productive and stylish in the history of cricket. The dry flat pitches of the subcontinent have also traditionally produced high-class spin bowlers.
The origins of the game in India date to the 18th century. A touring team led by the English gentleman cricketer Lord Hawke played a match against the "All India" team in January 1893. India played its first Test in 1932 and waited 20 years for its first Test victory, against England in Madras (now Chennai). The game developed so fast in India, however, that by the end of the 20th century India was one of the world's foremost cricketing countries. With the growth of the Indian Premier League in the early 21st century, it became the undisputed home of Twenty20 cricket and the financial hub of the international game, though the popularity of Test cricket has declined dramatically in India. India's prominence in one-day cricket was further confirmed when it won the Cricket World Cup in 2011.
New Zealand
Cricket has always taken second place to rugby in the sports priorities of New Zealanders, but, as in Australia, the game has a strong national structure in New Zealand. The long history of domestic cricket in the country is often dated from the first representative interprovincial match, between Auckland and Wellington, in 1860, though there is evidence that unofficial matches between provinces were played in New Zealand decades earlier. The NZ Cricket Council was formed in 1894 and was admitted to full membership of the ICC in 1926. With only a small base of players on which to draw, New Zealand has always struggled to compete with England and Australia in Test cricket. As in most cricketing countries, the one-day game has proved more popular in New Zealand. In Richard Hadlee, who was knighted in 1990, the country produced one of the greatest cricketers of any era.
The development of cricket in Pakistan has been chaotic, quixotic, and exotic in roughly equal measure. Under the leadership of Imran Khan, Pakistan won the 1992 World Cup, but often its cricket was blighted by political interference and scandal. A low point was reached in 2010: To begin with, the national team was in virtual exile, unable to persuade other countries to play in Pakistan for fear of terrorist attacks in the wake of an assault in Lahore on the visiting Sri Lankan team bus in March 2009 that left six policemen dead and several players injured. Moreover, three members of the Pakistani team touring England were involved in allegations of "spot fixing"—that is, fixing the results of certain bowls in return for money—and were banned by the ICC. Huge profits could be made in illegal betting markets in Asia by predicting the results of individual bowls. Only a few years earlier several Pakistan players also had been banned as a result of investigations over match fixing. Yet Pakistan has also produced a host of talented cricketers such as Khan, Wasim Akram, Abdul Qadir, and Inzamam-ul-Haq and has proved itself adept at Twenty20 cricket, winning the T20 World Cup in 2009.
South Africa
South Africa played its first Test, against England in Port Elizabeth, as early as in 1889. Cricket has been at the heart of the country's sporting culture ever since. When South Africa was banned from the ICC from 1970 to 1991 because of its apartheid policies, cricket administrators worked quietly to integrate nonwhite players into the system, which was based largely on traditional all-white schools and state teams. When apartheid was abolished, cricket was far more prepared to cope with the social and political changes than was rugby union. Makhaya Ntini, a world-class fast bowler, who made his international debut for South Africa in 1998 and played in more than 100 Tests, served as a role model for the new generation of black cricketers. On the other hand, in 2000 Hansie Cronje, the captain of South Africa, was banned for match fixing in a scandal that brought into question the integrity of South African cricket. It was not until 2003, when South Africa hosted a successful World Cup, that the rehabilitation of country's cricketing reputation was complete. South Africa has always been a great exporter of cricketers, mainly to England. Allan Lamb and Robin Smith were prominent members of the England team in the 1980s and '90s; Kevin Pietersen and Jonathan Trott were mainstays of the Ashes-winning side of 2010.
Sri Lanka
Even before Test status was awarded to Sri Lanka in 1981, the island country was a popular destination for touring teams, particularly for English teams on the way to Australia by boat. Given the disadvantages of its relatively small population and of the civil war that disrupted life on the island for three decades, Sri Lanka developed into a top cricketing country with surprising speed. In 1996 it won the World Cup, beating Australia in the final by playing aggressive, innovative cricket under the inspired leadership of Arjuna Ranatunga. The victory instilled belief in a new generation of players that included Sanath Jayasuriya; Mahela Jayawardene, an elegant and aggressive batsmen; and Muttiah Muralitharan, who in 2010 became the first bowler to take 800 Test wickets. The Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 devastated the cricket-playing regions of southern Sri Lanka, including the Test match ground at Galle, and took the lives of many promising young players. Nonetheless, Sri Lanka recovered to reach the World Cup final again in 2007. Calamity struck again in 2009, when the Sri Lankan team's bus was attacked by terrorists on the way to the ground for the second Test against Pakistan in Lahore.
West Indies
Cricket has been a unifying force in the Caribbean since the West Indies became the fourth Test-playing side in 1928. The islands have generally played other sports as independent countries, but British colonial influence contributed to the formation of a united regional team. For a time in the 1970s and '80s, when the West Indian team featured a quartet of fast bowlers—led by Michael Holding, Malcolm Marshall, Andy Roberts, and Joel Garner—and batsmen of the destructive capacity of Sir Viv Richards and Clive Lloyd, the West Indies were virtually unbeatable. Blessed with an abundance of talented players and true pitches, Caribbean cricket has always been played with an unorthodox flourish, seen most clearly in the batsmanship of Sir Garfield Sobers, Richards, and Brian Lara.
In the 21st century cricket declined in popularity in the West Indies, a result of a lack of strong administrative leadership and because of the increasing appeal of potentially more lucrative sports such as athletics (track and field), football (soccer) and basketball. After playing in the finals of the first three World Cups (1975, 1979, and 1983) and winning the first two, the West Indian team failed—with the exception of 1996—to reach even the knockout stage of subsequent World Cups, including in 2007, as the host of the event.
Until Test status was granted to Zimbabwe in 1992, the country's best cricketers, such as Colin Bland, played for South Africa. Indeed, the history of the cricket in the two countries has been inextricably linked. Long before the newly independent and renamed Zimbabwe became an associate member of the ICC in 1980, teams representing its Rhodesian forerunner states had participated in the Currie Cup, the South African domestic first-class tournament (first in 1904–05, then in the early 1930s, and again after World War II). Competing in its first World Cup in 1983, Zimbabwe surprised the world by beating Australia, yet Graeme Hick, arguably the country's best batsman, left shortly thereafter to play for England.
Zimbabwean cricket in the early 21st century has been marked by chaotic administration and political interference. In 2004 Heath Streak was sacked as captain of the national team, precipitating a crisis from which Zimbabwe took years to emerge, including an exile from Test cricket that began in 2006 and ended in 2011. The country's political volatility during this period had much to do with the situation. In the 2003 World Cup, for example, England forfeited its match in Zimbabwe, citing security concerns. During the same tournament, two Zimbabwe players, Andy Flower and Henry Olonga, wore black armbands to "mourn the death of democracy" in their country.Andrew Longmore
Test matches
The first Test match, played by two national teams, was between Australia and England in Melbourne in 1877, with Australia winning. When Australia again won at the Oval at Kennington, London, in 1882, the Sporting Times printed an obituary notice announcing that English cricket would be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia, thus creating the "play for the Ashes." The Ashes, kept in an urn at Lord's irrespective of which country is victorious, are supposed to be those of a bail burned on the England tour of Australia in 1882–83. For the rest of the 19th century, the two countries met almost yearly. With W.G. Grace, the greatest cricketer of Victorian England, on its side, England was often too strong for the Australians, though Australia had the greatest bowler of this era in F.R. Spofforth and the first of the great wicketkeepers in J.McC. Blackham.
In 1907 South Africa first played Test matches in England and also took on Australia, whose dominance between the two World Wars was symbolized by the prodigious run scoring of Sir Don Bradman. This period saw a notable growth in the number of Test match countries with the arrival of the West Indies in 1928, New Zealand in 1930, and India in 1932.
The visit of the English side to Australia in 1932–33 severely strained relations between the countries because of the use of "bodyline" bowling tactics, in which the ball was bowled close to or at the batsman. This scheme was devised by the English captain, D.R. Jardine, and involved fast short-pitched deliveries bowled to the batsman's body so that the batter would be hit on the upper body or head or, alternatively, would be caught out by one of the fielders on the leg side (the side behind the striker when in a batting stance). The plan was devised to curb Bradman's scoring, but it led to a large number of serious injuries on the Australian team. The practice was felt to be unsportsmanlike by the Australians, who protested vigorously. The series was played out (with England winning 3–1), but it created bitter feeling on the part of Australia for some time to come. Bodyline bowling tactics were banned soon after the series.
After World War II there were Test matches in England every summer, Australia being the most frequent visitor, and the Test ranks were increased by the addition of Pakistan in 1952. There was a steady escalation of tours between the Test-playing countries to the extent that, while the first 500 Test matches were spread over 84 years, the next 500 occupied only 23. Sri Lanka's entry in 1982 as the eighth Test-playing country came during an era dominated by the West Indies, whose devastating attack was founded, for the first time in cricket history, on four fast bowlers. Zimbabwe was admitted as a Test country in 1992 and Bangladesh in 2000.
One-day internationals—answering the complaint that Test matches went on too long—began in 1972. In 1975 the first World Cup was contested in England in a series of one-day matches of 60 overs a side (the number of overs was reduced to 50 in 1987). The event was a great success and continued at four-year intervals. It was held outside England, in India and Pakistan, for the first time in 1987.
Test cricket has faced a number of crises since the late 1960s. In one such case in 1969–70, a South African tour of England was canceled because of opposition to South African apartheid. Violence, damage, and disruption of play had been threatened. A further threat to Test cricket was posed by an Australian television network executive, Kerry Packer, who signed many of the world's leading players for a series of private contests between 1977 and 1979. Reprisals were brought against the players but were overruled after court action in England. The players returned to the fold, but commercialism had taken hold of the game. In 1982 the agreement of 12 first-class English players to take part—in breach of official guidelines—in a commercially sponsored South African tour with fees of up to £50,000 per player led to the players' being banned from Test cricket for three years. Cricketers from Sri Lanka and the West Indies also toured South Africa and received more stringent sanctions, and the engagement of English professionals as players and coaches in South Africa threatened a serious division between the Test-playing countries that ended only with the repeal of apartheid.
Test cricket was again rocked by a scandal that began in 1999 regarding match fixing. While betting on matches had been common in England in the early days of cricket, many Test countries had banned such betting in the modern era. In India and Pakistan betting on cricket was legal, however, and cricketers playing international matches there reported being asked by bookmakers and betting syndicates to underperform in return for money. Members of the Australian, South African, Indian, and Pakistani national teams were all tainted by this scandal, several players were banned from cricket for life, and the integrity of the game was called into question.Marcus K. Williams Rex Alston
21st-century developments
The advent of Twenty20 cricket (T20) and the wild success of the IPL in the first decade of the 21st century led to a period of great innovation in the game. The new, truncated form of the game privileged batting, partly by restricting the placement of fielders and shortening the boundaries. To counter free-scoring batsmen with heavy bats, bowlers began to perfect a great variety of different balls (deliveries). Disguise became an essential part of the bowler's armoury. Slow spin-bowling, which forces the batsman to generate "pace" (that is, to provide the bulk of the power to propel the batted ball, whereas fast bowling contributes more force to the batsman's swing), proved a surprisingly effective weapon. Among the new shots that became commonplace for batsmen in T20 cricket was the reverse sweep, wherein a right-handed batsman, in mid-delivery, changes hands to swing at the ball like a left-hander (or a left-hander swings like a right-hander). Batters also began employing the scoop, a shot played almost vertically over the wicketkeeper's head. Test cricket also benefited from these new techniques and from the new era of creativity, not least from the introduction of the doosra, a delivery disguised to look like an off-spinner that actually turns away from the right-handed batsman like a leg-spinner. Developed by the Pakistan off-spinner Saqlain Mushtaq and taking its name from the Urdu expression meaning "the other one," the ball was perfected by Muttiah Muralitharan of Sri Lanka,
Cricket also followed other sports in its use of video technology in making onfield decisions. Initially, from its first trial in 1992, only line decisions such as run outs were decided by referral to a third umpire off the field. But in 2008 a new referral system, in which players were allowed to refer any onfield decision to the third umpire, made its international debut in a series between India and Sri Lanka (it had been put on trial in English county cricket in 2007). Each side receives two referrals every innings (down from three when the system was first tried out). Referrals that result in the umpire changing an original decision are not counted against this total. The system was designed to eradicate an umpire's innocent but obvious mistake and has been greeted with more enthusiasm by players than umpires.Andrew Longmore
Women's cricket
Women first played cricket in England in the 18th century. In 1887 the first club, White Heather, was formed, and it survived to 1957. In 1890 two professional teams known collectively as the Original English Lady Cricketers were in action.
In 1926 the Women's Cricket Association was founded, and in 1934–35 it sent a team to Australia and New Zealand. Australia paid a return visit in 1937, and, since World War II, tours have increased. The International Women's Cricket Council was formed in 1958 by Australia, England, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and South Africa and later included India, Denmark, and several West Indian islands. A World Cup was instituted in 1973, two years ahead of men's cricket, and England and Australia played in the first women's matches at Lord's in 1976.Marcus K. Williams Rex Alston

Transfixed: Old stand-bys set standard
at Miller's
Thursday, July 1
Driving around Charlottesville, it's hard to miss how quickly the city is growing: apartments on Main Street, developments out Avon Street, Route 20 south and north, Old Lynchburg Road, and of course the ever expanding University. It's happening, and happening fast. Although I would love to complain about traffic and all the other clichés that come with the territory, I'm forced to bite my tongue because, alas, I too am a transplant here, adding to the congestion.
With the current boom we say, "In with the new– but not necessarily out with the old or familiar."
As a matter of fact, in many cases, the familiar staples of Charlottesville are surviving by providing inspiration and a foundation for the new. Case in point: Dawn Thompson and John D'earth's Thursday night jazz at Miller's.
By far the longest-running music residency in Charlottesville, Thompson/D'earth never fail to provide a weekly dose of heavy-hitting jazz. In an attempt to keep the weekly shows fresh, D'earth has a rotating stable of talented players who sit in and try and keep up with his level of leadership.
This past Thursday night was no exception. The hipsters brought along to play were members of the fusion ensemble Modern Groove Syndicate– an outfit whose talent far outweighs their mass appeal.
And so, instead of spending my one night out listening to the futuristic sounds of Laptopalooza at R2, I chose to go for what I knew, something guaranteed to complete my day and satisfy my evening. D'earth is the type of player who plays whatever he is feeling– whether pleasant or disturbing. I've seen him blow intense pain through his trumpet as many times as I've heard him soothe and excite. His mood may very well determine how you feel when you leave the venue.
On Thursday, he became a supporting actor, allowing the others in his sextet to dictate the vibe. For the most part, the vibe was mellow and mysterious– an aura that illuminates Dawn Thompson on stage and off. Dawn's vocals subtly and gracefully layer a sexy mantle over the band's arrangements. As a vocalist, she gives the musicians space to explore the nuances of the songs. Her tunes frequently have long vocal-less interludes, taking the song far from its roots only to cleverly come unexpectedly back to her vocals.
As far as I'm concerned, Daniel Clark on keys stole the show. He's as tasteful as one can get. I marveled at his fingers dancing around the keys, producing unexpected, but always right-on, results. D'earth smiled with approval as he and drummer Brian Kaputo created a vicious pocket that had the entire room transfixed.
I began to notice the eyes and faces around me at Miller's. The eyes of the young crowd was glued to the alchemy on stage. Seeing it all made so much sense. Thompson/D'earth may be one of the longest-running musical traditions here, but they're one of the few who will continue to inspire the influx of young new musicians as our city grows.
Thursday night is jazz night at Miller's.

2014 Ford F-150 - Get Down On It
DJM Helps Make a Cool F-150 Cruiser
After buying a new truck everybody does something different. Some guys leave it alone and just enjoy that new truck smell. Other guys, the guys we relate to, start modifying their trucks the day they come home from the dealership. Recently, we received a call from our friends at the Custom Truck Shop in San Dimas, California. They had a customer bringing in his brand-new 2014 Ford F-150 with a laundry list of mods. Amongst the list, he wanted a better stance and some fresh wheels and tires. A call was made to the suspension specialists at DJM to order a 3/5-inch lowering kit. This kit uses new lower control arms and a flip kit in the rear to bring the Blue Oval closer to Earth. The owner wanted a black and machined look for wheels and chose a set of 22x9 Dub Phase 6 wheels with a set of Toyo Proxes STII tires in size 285/45R22. Follow along to see how easy it was to give this F-150 a better stance and increased handling.
