Earlier I mentioned looking at the Zalman HD135 and HD160 cases for the new media computer I’m going to build
this summer. I was at Frys earlier today and had a chance to check them both out in person. The HD135 looked much
nicer than the HD160. The HD160 doesn’t use thumbscrews to get the case off- you have to remove 5 normal screws
to open the case. Now, hopefully you aren’t doing that often, but it sounds like a major pain when you do. The HD135
seems to have plenty of room for everything, tons of drives, and its a bit smaller height (although slightly deeper but
that should be ok).

Via Engadget Seagate has introduced a 2.5” drive, the EE25.2 that packs 80GB and is good to 16,000 feet. This
might be a solution for a drive to use in unpressurized aircraft, although frankly 16,000 feet is a bit low- 25,000 would
cover the territory much better since I doubt there are many folks going above 25,000’ without pressuraization. Then
again, they brag about the previous generation being used on Mt Everest where base-camp is 17,000 (and the peak is
29,000ft). so they are pretty much advocating using it beyond-spec.

I suspect a SSD will still be a better solution for us pilots although there is no word on the pricing yet.

Axway VA Suite protects mission-critical infrastructures by ensuring that revoked or invalid credentials cannot be used
for secure email, smart card login, network access (including wireless) or other sensitive electronic transactions. With
support for caching and replication of revocation data regardless of format, VA Suite enables cost-effective scalability
across a wide range of operational environments, including hardware-software appliances and Java-based solutions for
distributed or hosted environments.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,584,795,610]]<|/det|>
Banks, businesses, governments and defence organisations around the world use Axway VA Suite for real-time vali-
dation of digital certificates within PKI environments.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,618,795,645]]<|/det|>
Using protocols like OCSP and CRLs can help identify revoked entities, but knowing whose credentials are defective
is just the tip of the information iceberg.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,653,795,707]]<|/det|>
Validation is constantly evolving, and Server-based Certificate Validation Protocol (SCVP) is the emerging new stan-
dard. While OCSP-based certificate validation provides revocation status of digital certificates in a highly performant
and scalable manner, VA Suite’s SCVP technologies take access validation to the next level, enabling applications to
delegate both revocation checking and path validation to a trusted server in a single request.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,715,795,755]]<|/det|>
SCVP enables the harvesting of an entity’s credential for the full range of its access rights, cross-validated across
multiple certificate chains by highly accredited certification issuers. In real-world terms, this means that not only do
you know John Doe’s credential status, you can also:
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[239,763,661,776]]<|/det|>
• Enforce which applications and/or network locations John is authorised to access;
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[239,793,795,819]]<|/det|>
• Enforce John’s level of email access and which company policies apply to his account, whether he be an IT
administrator or an HR director;
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[239,836,716,848]]<|/det|>
• Federate John’s physical access rights across multiple buildings and/or geographic locations;
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[239,865,786,878]]<|/det|>
• Provide visibility into the what, where and when of each and every instance of physical and logical access.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,886,795,912]]<|/det|>
VA Suite consists of several products that provide a flexible and robust certificate validation solution, for both standard
and bespoke desktop and server applications: | |

## John Carpenter Heading to Orlando, FL
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,734,795,802]]<|/det|>
Orlando, FL – They’ve done it again! Spooky Empire has taken what was already an amazing celebrity guest lineup
and made it even more impressive with the addition of some of the best guests the horror world has to offer. This year’s
event returns to the Wyndham Orlando Resort on October 8-10, 2010. Spooky Empire’s Ultimate Horror Weekend is
fast becoming one of the most popular horror events in U.S. with fans coming from all over the world to attend. Last
years show was monstrous, with the most fans in attendance so far, reaching record breaking numbers.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,810,795,864]]<|/det|>
In addition to the first guest announcements, (including a Nightmare on Elm Street reunion featuring the gloved one
himself, Robert Englund “Freddy Krueger”, John Saxon, Heather Langenkamp, and Amanda Wyss), will be the Master
of Horror, Legendary Director John Carpenter – best known for his many horror/sci-fi films including “Halloween”,

## Applying the Lath and Base Coat
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,453,682,535]]<|/det|>
To provide a mechanical bond between the polymer base coat and the deck, we then cover the deck with 2.5-pound
galvanized expanded metal lath, which is fastened to the plywood with one-inch crown staples. Adjoining sheets of
lath should overlap one another by 1 to 2 inches, with at least a 2-inch overlap between the lath and the horizontal legs
of any flashing. We use staples a minimum of 5/8 inch in length, spacing them about an inch apart at lath edges and
making sure to use at least 24 staples per square foot in the field. It’s important to avoid spanning sheathing joints with
staples, because if the plywood moves, the fastener will flex and heave or crack the coating.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,543,682,624]]<|/det|>
Bring on the mud. At this point, we’re ready for the first layer of base coat. Poly Base — as the Desert Brand base-coat
material is called — is a blend of polymer, cement, and sand. We mix the Poly Base with water in a 5-gallon plastic
bucket. Although the manufacturer recommends using one gallon of water for each 50-pound bag of the product, we
may increase that to as much as 1 1/4 gallons to retard setting in hot weather. Once we’ve mixed the mud, we pour it
onto the deck and screed and trowel it into the lath. Each bag covers about 50 square feet of deck at a thickness of 1/8
inch.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,632,682,672]]<|/det|>
The coating must be thick enough to completely cover the lath. If there are any low spots or lath showing through, we
apply a second layer of Poly Base to those areas. When the base coat is dry, we use a mason’s stone to grind off any
rough spots and then sweep or blow the surface clean.
<|ref|>sub_title<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,691,292,703]]<|/det|>
## Waterproof Membrane and Top Coat
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,716,682,784]]<|/det|>
The middle layer of the three-coat system provides the actual waterproofing. It consists of a layer of 3/4-ounce chopped
mat fiberglass — which is a loose nonwoven fabric — saturated with acrylic resin. The material comes in 4-foot-wide
rolls and can be cut with scissors or a utility knife. As with fiberglass batts, it’s a good idea to wear long sleeves,
gloves, and a dust mask. We lay the fiberglass on the deck and use a paintbrush and standard 3/8-inch paint roller to
coat it with Bonder 480 resin. We ordinarily start at the drip edge and work back toward the door.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,792,682,859]]<|/det|>
Spreading the resin. Whether the mat is rolled out from side to side or front to back doesn’t matter, but it’s important
to fray the edges where they overlap so there are no hard seams to telegraph through the finish. The mat need not turn
up at the flashing — it laps over its horizontal leg and terminates within a half-inch of the bend — but we carefully
brush the resin an inch or more onto the vertical leg. The resin soaks through the fiberglass, bonds it to the substrate,
and cures to form a waterproof membrane that also functions as an anti-crack membrane.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,868,682,894]]<|/det|>
This part of the project goes quickly. It generally takes us less than half an hour to place the mat and spread resin on a
deck the size of the one shown here.

# REGIONAL FOCUS: BIRMINGHAM
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,284,403,297]]<|/det|>
23 October 2007

Thanks to its convenient geography, excellent transport
links and competitive size, Birmingham is arguably one
of the UK’s most important legal centres outside London.
More to the point, the city has shrugged of its industrial
image and become a vibrant playground for young pro-
fessionals who want a good alternative to working in the
capital.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,408,608,504]]<|/det|>
Just like the city’s landscape the Birmingham legal mar-
ket has also changed beyond recognition during the past
decade. In the late-1990s, Birmingham was dominated by
the so-called ’big four’ Edge & Ellison, Eversheds, Pin-
sent Curtis Biddle and Wragge & Co. But if you fast for-
ward 10 years, thanks to a spate of mergers, the picture is
very different.

<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,94,493,175]]<|/det|>
the merger between legacy firms Hammonds Suddards
and Edge Ellison (previously Edge & Ellison). The deal
gave Hammonds and Edge Ellison, which despite being
one of the oldest firms in the City was losing ground to
Dibb Lupton Alsop (now DLA Piper), a much-needed leg-
up.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,184,493,293]]<|/det|>
The post-merger celebrations were,however, short-lived.
Its marriage with Edge Ellison saddled Hammonds with
a level of debt it was still wrestling with five years later.
Thankfully, under the leadership of managing partner Pe-
ter Crossley, Hammonds is gradually putting its financial
woes behind it. A sign of a tangible recovery came in the
last financial year, when average profit per equity partner
(PEP) rose by 23 per cent, from 328,000 to 404,000.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,301,493,382]]<|/det|>
But Hammonds still has some way to go before it can
completely consign its recent troubles to history. The firm
is still embroiled in a dispute with a number of former
partners, who are claiming it owes them money for over-
drawings on anticipated profit during 2003-04 and 2004-
05. As first reported by The Lawyer (20 August).
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,390,493,609]]<|/det|>
Hammonds has settled with at least four of the former
partners, but claims are still outstanding with 14 others.
Pinsents and construction outfit Masons merged in De-
cember 2004. Thetie-up resulted in the firms’ joint PEP
rocketing by 70 per cent to 400,000, compared with the
previous year’s 234,000. But the merged Pinsent Masons
failed to sustain its astonishing 2005-06 growth last year,
managing just a steady climb in both revenue and profit.
Revenue is relatively evenly split between the firm’s main
practice areas, with growth last year coming across the
board. Employment, pensions and tax grossed 30m; UK
and international projects business turned over some 30m
(a figure which also includes some support areas;with
pure projects earning around 22m); while the outsourcing
and technology practice made 21m, just beating its record
year in 2006.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,617,493,809]]<|/det|>
The consolidation continued into2006 when the Birming-
ham legal market witnessed thetransformational merger
between Midlands-based Gateley Wareing and Scottish
outfit Henderson Boyd Jackson to create HBJ Gateley
Wareing. The marriage was a triumph, with the merged
entity celebrating a whopping 40 per cent jump in PEP
from 200,000 to 284,000.
But thanks to further rapid
expansion, which saw the Anglo-Scottish firm take over
Boyds Solicitors and London-based Shaw &Croft, its PEP
remained static during 2006-07. Although HBJ has seen
growth in its employment, shipping and transport groups,
the firm’s largest group is still corporate, with 24 lawyers
generating 33 per cent of revenue. This is followed by
property with 24 per cent.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,817,493,899]]<|/det|>
A national firm with its roots in Yorkshire, Dibb Lupton
Broomhead, arrived in Birmingham in December 1993
when it acquired Needham & James, a second-tier firm
that had been slipping further and further behind the big
four. In 1996 Dibb Lupton merged with Alsop Wilkin-
son, which had offices in Manchester and London, to be-
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,94,795,175]]<|/det|>
come Dibb Lupton Alsop. The firm’s hunger for mergers
and its aggressive growth strategy continued well into the
new millennium, but the emphasis quickly shifted to the
overseas legal market. Known today as DLA Piper, the
firm is one of the largest in the world, boasting a firmwide
turnover of 446m.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,184,795,513]]<|/det|>
Wragges and Eversheds are the only firms out of the
big four that have not been sucked in by the merger
bug.Wragges, which has the most sizeable presence in the
Midlands, was historically famed for its one-office pol-
icy. But five years ago, Wragges ditched this strategy,
announcing the launch of a London arm.The office ini-
tially focused on private equity, but has since expanded
to include banking and finance, employment, intellectual
property, pensions and real estate. Wragges also has a
presence in Brussels and Hong Kong as well as an asso-
ciation with Germany’s Graf von Westphalen. Ranked 25
in The Lawyer 200 Annual Report 2007, Wragges had
another okay year during 2006-07, with turnover jumping
by a reasonable 11 per cent to 112.6m. Real estate, the
largest single practice in the firm, accounted for nearly
34m, or 30.2 per cent of turnover. Historically the prac-
tice has been developer-led, but the increasing structural
sophistication of that market has provided some interest-
ing spin-off corporate and financial work. And much of
that business is not tied geographically to clients day-to-
day legal management of leases, for example, gets fun-
nelled to Birmingham, where costs are lower. Litigation
remains a large plank of Wragges’ business, generating
16.4 per cent of revenue, or 18.47m.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,521,795,658]]<|/det|>
Eversheds, meanwhile, has done little to write home about
in Birmingham, concentrating instead on its London arm
and international coverage.
For instance, last month
(September) the firm, which is ranked number eight in
The Lawyer’s UK 200, announced it has ramped up its
Central and Eastern Europe capabilities by sealing an as-
sociation with Czech law firm Balcar Polansky & Spol.
The deal added two more countries, Slovakia and the
Czech Republic, to Eversheds’ existing network of 32 in-
ternational offices.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,666,795,830]]<|/det|>
Eversheds’ focus on increasing revenue from corporate
and finance in the past 12 months has paid off, with the
combined team now usurping real estate as the firm’s
highest-earning practice group.
Corporate and finance
now accounts for 30 per cent of total revenue, compared
with real estate’s 24 per cent. The latter group continues
to bring in more revenue per partner, however, with the
team numbering just 79 partners, against corporate and
finance’s combined 115 partners.
While boosting cor-
porate,however, Eversheds’ strategic plan also includes
putting a significant emphasis on downturn-proof depart-
ments, such as public sector accounting.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,838,795,906]]<|/det|>
Birmingham has also seen a explosion of mid-market
competition in recent years, with Bristol-based Bevan
Brittan, Beachcroft and Clarke Willmott, Nottingham-
based Browne Jacobson, Leicester-based Harvey Ingram,
Norwich-based Mills & Reeve and Northampton firm

Shoosmiths having all announced, or demonstrated, their
intentions for major growth there.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,128,493,196]]<|/det|>
New challengers in the area include Harvey Ingram,
which launched a Birmingham office in April last year,
newly merged Putsmans and Shakespeares now a 20m
player and Cheltenham-based BPE Solicitors, which
moved into new Birmingham offices last November.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,204,493,286]]<|/det|>
Meanwhile, Nottingham’s Freeth Cartwright is to open an
office in Birmingham by the end of the year, and will of-
fer a full service with a particular focus on real estate. It
will be the firm’s fourth office in the Midlands, but Birm-
ingham is widely seen as being the most competitive legal
market in the region.

I think I’m hooked on the hype for Rainbows. I have a
2000 f150 supercab with an Alpine 9847 with no amp. I
have Memphis Mclass 5x7’s and they are way too harsh.
My ears are ringing after listening to them. I didn’t no-
tice it at first but after a few months it just sort sounds
like fingernails on a chalk board. I have ordered Boston
SL80’s to replace them. I have previously had Bostons.
Need opinions on The SLC238 (5x7 comp),SLC230 (5.25
comp)or the SL 5x7 (coaxial). I would actually prefer the
coaxials for simplicity of install. I’m not a huge audio nut
but I do ilke my music (mellow Chili Peppers to Hendrix
to alt country) to have clean SQ. Eventually I want to get
an amp but that is a ways down the road.

As one of the oldest members of Dtoid, (I’m already over
the big 4-0) I’ve been gaming since the Atari 2600 was a
brand new item, and thousands of my teenage hours were
dedicated to gaming on the Commodore 64 and messing
around with the new 300-baud modems. (That’s .00003
of a megabit per second, for those of you who only know
broadband.)

I’m proud to say that I’m a member of the first-generation

shoot something!

UPDATE – Thanks to everyone who has responded to
this; however, while Topher has made it clear that he’s
very appreciative for the effort, he requests that we don’t
keep going with this. Because that is clearly his wish, I’m
going to honor his request and stop the ”Get Topher A
Wii” campain.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,184,909,224]]<|/det|>
At least some good has come out of this for him. This got
enough publicity that someone is sending a game from
play-asia.com that Topher was hoping to get. :)

I am incredibly proud of how the Destructoid community
has come together so quickly with this and other such ef-
forts, and I’m very happy to be part of that global family.
But this particular quest needs to be abandoned.

I was listening to Podtoid #143 when Topher mentioned
that he doesn’t have a Wii, and I know that in previous
Podtoid’s he’s mentioned that he has ... well ... employ-
ment difficulties right now.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,391,909,486]]<|/det|>
This seems like a damned shame, especially for someone
who has lamented that he doesn’t have a Wii and would
also (probably more so) have a lot of fun with the Virtual
Console. So, I thought about what could be done to get
Topher a Wii and I made a semi-serious comment about a
”Get Topher A Wii” fund. I thought about it some more
and figured ”Well, why the hell not?”

# PHYSICIANS+ ”THE SPIRIT” = FATAL
MISUNDERSTANDING
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,310,380,350]]<|/det|>
When two cultures clash, the result can be fatal. But it
doesn’t have to be. Some extra legwork and a little under-
standing can go a long way in preventing a tragedy.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,358,380,412]]<|/det|>
That was the basic message of a lecture given to first-
year students at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical
School this winter. It was sponsored by the school’s De-
partment of Family Medicine.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,420,380,501]]<|/det|>
”The Challenge of Cross-Cultural Medicine” was pre-
sented by Anne Fadiman, a renowned journalist and au-
thor of the book, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall
Down. The book is the true story of a severely epileptic
Hmong child, Lia Lee, and her family, who migrated from
the hills of Laos to California. It was the basis of her talk.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,510,380,646]]<|/det|>
Lia was three months old when she had her first seizure
and her parents carried her in their arms to a Merced
County emergency room three blocks from their apart-
ment. By the time they arrived, however, the seizure had
stopped. Unable to communicate with the Lees, doctors
couldn’t make a diagnosis, and Lia was sent home. This
happened several more times, until the Lees arrived at the
ER with an English-speaking relative and with Lia still
convulsing. She was finally diagnosed correctly and put
on an anticonvulsant medication.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,654,380,722]]<|/det|>
Meantime, the Lees believed that a dab, or spirit, had
caught Lia and made her fall down.
The cure, they
thought, lay in animal sacrifices – particularly chickens
and pigs – that would persuade the spirit to give Lia her
soul back.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,730,380,784]]<|/det|>
Completely unaware of what was taking place in the Lee
home, doctors insisted on a complicated regimen of drugs
for Lia. Some pills had to be cut in half, some given only
with meals and still others at bedtime.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,792,380,874]]<|/det|>
The Lees didn’t understand the sophisticated directions
and couldn’t read the prescription labels; some bottles
simply stated, ”Take as directed.” With every new drug,
Lia’s personality and energy level changed, sometimes
drastically. They began losing confidence in the doctors
and balked at giving her medication.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,882,380,908]]<|/det|>
The physicians saw this noncompliance as child abuse.
Feeling they had no other choice, they had Lia placed in
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[393,310,682,364]]<|/det|>
foster care. She was terrified and miserable. After a tor-
turous year, Lia returned home. But a few months later at
the age of four, she suffered a massive seizure that virtu-
ally destroyed her brain. Now 16, Lia remains in a coma.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[393,372,682,522]]<|/det|>
”Lia”s chart weighed 13 pounds and 5 ounces, but was
filled with only one language,” Fadiman told the students.
”The doctors spent a huge amount of time learning all they
could about epilepsy, but no time at all learning about the
Hmong language or culture.” She advised the students to
take the extra time to find an interpreter who understands
not only the language of a country but the culture as well.
Among the Hmongs, she pointed out, there are clan lead-
ers who are well educated and can communicate. One
hospital in San Francisco maintains a list of Hmong clan
leaders in their emergency room.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[393,530,682,612]]<|/det|>
”Try to see the illness from the patient’s point of view.
This is vital to good care,” she explained. ”Ask the patient
what he thinks is wrong. What does he call the condition?
What caused it, and how long does he think it will last?
What is he doing for it? Just these few simple questions
can save everyone a lot of heartache.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[393,620,682,674]]<|/det|>
”Form an alliance,” Fadiman said. ”You don’t have to be-
lieve in a foreign method of treatment, just respect it. You
can’t practice good medicine without practicing culturally
competent medicine.”

Then I ran across this site Wintersown.org. I laid aside the
laptop and dug my bootbox full of seeds out of the cup-
board. I have about 40 different kinds of seeds, mostly
veggies and herbs, but some flowers too, like the Califor-
nia poppie and sweet William seeds given to me by SM a
number of years ago when we lived in the OC.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[393,831,682,912]]<|/det|>
The premise at Wintersown is that you can sow seeds in
plastic containers with clear lids and put them outside to
emerge in their own time. No grow lights, fancy flats or
pampering. The seeds come up with more vigor than ones
grown under lights in the warm, dry air in the house. The
containers can be as simple as two-litre pop bottles cut | |

in half with then the top slid back down over the bottom
planted section. She encourages you to use your initiative
and make use of what you have. I’m thinking the plastic
cartons I buy baby salad greens in would be excellent!
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,156,493,265]]<|/det|>
I’ve nothing to lose but the price of a bag of growing
medium, and if I get a dozen plants to set out once the
raised beds are built it will have been worth the price of
the medium. I have lots of seed that I am not certain is
viable, some are several years old, as I often planted half
a package, or less. I might not even take the chance of
planting these seeds directly into the garden, as I question
the viability.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,273,493,382]]<|/det|>
This will obviously not work with the beans, squash or
melon seeds *yet*, as they don’t like cold temps, but I
have loads of broccoli, spinach, Asian veggies, greens,
onions, chives, peas, etc. which would be quite happy
to go into the ground now. I’m thinking, plant them and
nestle them down in the mulch where they will have some
protection from the sub-freezing temps we are still having
at night.

## Florida gives Miami free pass on paying Marlins
garage taxes
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,555,493,705]]<|/det|>
Looks like the city of Miami won’t have to pay property
taxes on Marlins parking garages after all, as threatened
a few months back. The county tax assessor had previ-
ously noted that because the garages are reserved for Mar-
lins fans during Marlins games — pretty much the only
time you’d want to park there — they should be subject to
taxes, and the city agreed to pay all taxes on the garages
in their lease with the team. However, the state legislature
approved a bill yesterday exempting the city from prop-
erty taxes, and the county said it won’t challenge the rul-
ing.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,714,493,864]]<|/det|>
What this basically means is that the city won’t have to
suddenly pay the county $1.2 million a year as a result of
the stadium deal — whether you consider that a good or a
bad thing depends largely on whether you’re concerned
about the city or county budget. It’s still possible that
someone could file a lawsuit challenging the law — as
the Miami Herald notes, the Florida supreme court ruled
in 2001 that ”regular, for-profit use of a government build-
ing by a private entity essentially disqualifies the building
from receiving a tax break” — but for now, it looks like
Miami is off the hook for this cost, at least.

It seems like the only way for virtual mobile opera-
tors (MVNOs) to get any news today is by shutting
down. Amp’d, the high-flying mobile operator, is pow-
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,94,795,189]]<|/det|>
ering down on July 24. Or to be more accurate, they are
“potentially suspending US operations on July 24th.” I
guess TechCrunch could be suspending U.S. operations
on July 24, too, but we wouldn’t be posting that unless we
thought it was pretty certain to be happening. The com-
pany has been going through bankruptcy but it was not
certain they would be shutting down until now.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,197,795,265]]<|/det|>
Meanwhile competitor Helio, which entered the market
at about the same time as Amp’d, keeps on surging.
Last week they announced that they reached 100,000 cus-
tomers and have ARPU (average revenue per user) of
$100 – way above the average for mobile startups.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,273,795,341]]<|/det|>
A lot of Helio’s success can be attributed to their new
Ocean, a killer dual-slider phone. I actually considered
using the Ocean over the iPhone because it has a keyboard
and great instant messaging support, but it doesn’t sync
with Macs.

A couple of weeks ago I had an engagement shoot at
Olvera St. in Los Angeles. Like I mentioned in that blog,
I’ve been to Olvera St. a million times but never like this,
never specifically to take pictures here. I saw the place
in a whole new light. The vibrant colors and vintage feel
of the place made for such a great ambiance for pictures.
If you’re from the L.A. area and have never been, you
should definitely visit and maybe do a photo walk. You’ll
be impressed with all the great little places to take pic-
tures. Click here to see more.

<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,514,795,568]]<|/det|>
The Intergroup discussed the benefits and challenges of
regionalism yesterday with members hearing from Mr
Karl-Heinz Lambertz, Minister President for the German-
speaking Community of Belgium.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,576,795,685]]<|/det|>
Mr Lambertz described the situation of the German com-
munity, numbering 75,000 people, and how their auton-
omy came about after the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. Sub-
sequently Belgium became a federal state, the territory
was divided on linguistic lines, and today the “process
of federalisation” continues. It led to the German com-
munity having “big competences for a small territory,” - a
challenge in itself.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,693,795,816]]<|/det|>
One new idea for Belgium is that it is divided into four
entities with Brussels having its own autonomy, while the
German community gains extra powers. Some may point
to the small size of the region but Mr Lambertz under-
lined that they have no alternative, “either we progress of
we will disappear”. Their autonomy and their language
are of a high priority for the Belgian Germans, “and it is
highly important that they are able to use their language
on a normal everyday basis”, he said.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,824,795,906]]<|/det|>
Despite lack of size and resources Mr Lambertz pointed
to three unique selling points of the German community.
First, there is an advantage in being a national minority;
second, being a small region with legislative powers al-
lowed for creativity in government; thirdly, the situation
as frontier region between two German Lander, Luxem-

bourg, Limburg, Wallonia and Flanders, and with four
‘big’ languages being spoken, led to many opportunities
for cooperation.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,142,493,265]]<|/det|>
He continued that the situation of minorities in Europe is
an important test for the EU over its commitment to diver-
sity. Actual diversity can be witnessed the most clearly in
border regions, he said. It meant that they are “a labo-
ratory to see what is best practice in both human rights
and economic exchange ... that its important for people to
see the minority issue not as a defence against something
and a problem, but for national minorities to be seen as an
asset.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,273,493,355]]<|/det|>
He concluded by referring to a recent quote from Inter-
group Co-Chair Kinga Gal MEP which, in looking to the
future, describes the co-existence of traditional commu-
nities, especially majority and traditional national minori-
ties as “an art of living together rather than just next to
each other”.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,363,493,472]]<|/det|>
Mrs Elvira Kovacs, a PACE member from Vojvodina, Ser-
bia, was unable to attend. But her statement to the Inter-
group highlighted the benefits of autonomy for the Hun-
garian community where they are responsible for educa-
tion and minority language teaching, plus they have var-
ious economic competences. However, she outlined con-
tinuing problems with lack of funds for the territory and
the need for a law on public property and property rights.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,480,493,616]]<|/det|>
Jozsef Komlossy, from the NGO SENCE, pointed out that
a majority of national minorities live in rural areas and that
by protecting their language and culture, and giving such
territories autonomy, states also protect the environment
by helping to keep young people in these areas. He re-
ferred to the Swiss canton of Bern where the people in the
countryside voted to set up their own canton of Jura, using
the example to emphasise that communities should have
the right to decide the borders and demarcations of their
territories.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,624,493,747]]<|/det|>
MEPs contributed many comments on the presentations.
Bernd Posselt (EPP) underlined the success of autonomies
such as that of German community, how this meant that
there was no need to change borders, and, importantly,
how it showed other States that autonomy is a good thing.
Mr Grosch (EPP) supported Mr Lambertz describing how
he preferred not to be treated as minority member adding
that it was important “not to change borders but to change
mentalities.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,755,493,809]]<|/det|>
Mr Lambertz commented on a question from Edit Bauer
(EPP) on how Brussels had become a symbol of Bel-
gium’s problem and how that symbol had to disappear be-
fore the problem can be resolved.

<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,838,493,906]]<|/det|>
When companies go shopping for a unified communica-
tions (UC) solution, they typically have focused primarily
on phone systems. Then, they might spend a little time
evaluating features such as HD videoconferencing and in-
stant messaging.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,94,795,148]]<|/det|>
Things are about to change.
Now, whether they are
searching for a new UC supplier or considering upgrades
to their current systems, companies must make mobility a
major part of the buying decision.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,156,795,293]]<|/det|>
The intent of mobility is to connect remote workers to
the enterprise’s IP-PBX over the Wi-Fi and cellular data
networks.
This eliminates cellular voice long distance
charges. Plus, it makes remote workers more available
to co-workers and customers, no matter their location. As
a company’s mobility tools develop over time, users will
be able to use their corporate software on smartphones
and tablets – anytime and anywhere. This can enhance
customer service, improve productivity, and even enhance
quality of life.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,301,795,355]]<|/det|>
But companies need to understand what their mobility so-
lution may look like at the end, so they can begin making
important strategic decisions as they build a mobility in-
frastructure. Here are a few questions to consider:
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[541,372,795,536]]<|/det|>
• Where will your users get their devices? An in-
creasing number of remote and enterprise work-
ers prefer to use their personal iPhone, Android
smartphone or tablet as their only communica-
tions device. They simply don’t want to juggle
two phones – one business and one personal. At
the same time, UC suppliers such as Cisco and
Avaya are already developing their own endpoint
devices. They will encourage clients to adopt
these tablets and mobile phones for the entire
workforce. Which route will your company wish
to take?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[541,547,795,670]]<|/det|>
• What are your policies?
Every organization
needs a mobility policy – right now.
The IT
department should establish policies and proce-
dures regarding the use of personal mobile de-
vices. Decide when and how these may connect
with the enterprise IP-PBX and LAN. If your or-
ganization wishes to keep personal devices off
the network, be prepared with an alternate strat-
egy that will work for your mobile employees.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[541,681,795,721]]<|/det|>
• Are desk phones necessary?
Many mobility
users may prefer a mobile device, making an in-
vestment on a desk phone just a wasted expense.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[541,731,795,813]]<|/det|>
• Will video be part of your strategy? In the near
future, companies will increasingly rely on enter-
prise video communications. If mobile workers
don’t have access to video on employer-provided
devices, they will again default to their personal
smartphones and tablets.

A novel approach to wireless access points has gained ac-
claim for Aerohive Networks, creators of the cooperative
control wireless LAN (WLAN) architecture. Garnter, Inc.
has positioned Aerohive and its cutting-edge technology
in the coveted “Visionaries” area of the 2011 Magic Quad-
rant for Wireless LAN Infrastructure.

The Magic Quadrant is a graphical representation of a
marketplace at and for a specific time period. It depicts
Gartner’s analysis of how certain vendors measure against
criteria for that marketplace.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,156,608,265]]<|/det|>
According to Gartner, a “vendor in the Visionaries quad-
rant demonstrates an ability to increase features in its of-
fering to provide a unique and differentiated approach to
the market. A visionary will have contributed innovations
in one or more of the key areas of WLAN technologies
(e.g., convergence, security, management or operational
efficiency).” Innovation is weighted highly by Gartner in
evaluating a vendor’s completeness of vision.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,273,608,368]]<|/det|>
Aerohive’s Cooperative Control Enterprise Wireless LAN
Architecture is based on the same architectural premise
already proven in the Internet and corporate WAN, which
both rely on dynamic routing protocols.
According to
Aerohive, this structure eliminates controllers by increas-
ing the functionality of access points, bringing control
closer to the edge of the network.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,376,608,458]]<|/det|>
“The look and feel of controllers continues to change,”
the Gartner report notes.
“Since the introduction of
controller-based architectures, most vendors use a sepa-
rate appliance; however, the hardware has slowly been
transformed (subsumed into blades or appliances), or, in
some cases, has vanished.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,466,608,561]]<|/det|>
“Although the structured network functionality still exists,
the physical controller has disappeared into the cloud, vir-
tualized into an upstream server or integrated into one or
more access points. In addition to lower-priced access
points, these new solutions continue to reduce the total
cost of ownership (TCO) for WLAN connectivity at the
edge of the network.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,569,608,706]]<|/det|>
Aerohive’s cooperative control WLAN access points
(dubbed HiveAPs) require no network controllers or over-
lay networks. Instead, software in the HiveAPs enables
them to self-organize into groups called Hives. Coopera-
tive control eliminates the controller as a single point of
failure, making enterprise wi-fi more reliable. It also in-
creases performance by eliminating the data bottleneck
that controllers create - especially in 802.11n networks
where increased bandwidth can cause choke points at the
controller.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,714,608,837]]<|/det|>
“Being positioned in the ’Visionaries’ quadrant of the
Magic Quadrant is affirmation of our controller-less
WLAN architecture, and is an indicator of the future
of WLANs,” said David Flynn, chief executive offi-
cer for Aerohive.
“Aerohive’s pioneering architecture
eliminates the need for WLAN controllers and facili-
tates cloud-enabled networking to provide customers with
high-performance, highly-reliable, scalable, secure, and
cost-effective wireless solutions.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,845,608,899]]<|/det|>
Aerohive’s architecture also seizes on the latest trend for
both hardware and software developers, who see the cloud
as the most effective place to manage computing infras-
tructure. In fact, by managing the network in the cloud,
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,94,909,134]]<|/det|>
Aerohive says it can save money and provide customers
with application performance that is up to 10 times better
than traditional networks.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,142,909,320]]<|/det|>
“For many enterprises that are deploying access points,
wireless connectivity is mission-critical,” Gartner said in
its report. “This means that site planning and support play
critical roles in ensuring that WLANs are installed prop-
erly to address business issues, from capacity to transac-
tion density, upfront, rather than waiting for a problem to
occur. Overlapping coverage, dual-homed access points
and mesh networking capabilities are providing multi-
ple paths for robust communication at the edge. Proac-
tive tools, such as network management knowledgebases,
spectrum analysis and client health monitoring, are play-
ing a larger role to ensure that the WLAN continues to
perform to its optimum level once it’s installed.”

From Ruth Reed - Re: John Mock/Elizabeth Smith family. ”When I was a child, I remember going with my dad
(Victor Hartline 1880-1946) to visit Windham Mauk, the local blacksmith. His nickname was ”Windy” and he was
considered somewhat of a character. As we were leaving, dad shook his head and said ”We are related to him” Since
then I have traced him back to a George Mauk, son of Jacob Mauk, who was in the Civil War (have pension records).
Have found no clue to the relationship except a copy of an LDS record of the Family of George Mock who died in

# OSWALT NOT QUITE HIMSELF IN PHILLIES DEBUT
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,287,493,424]]<|/det|>
WASHINGTON – Philadelphia Phillies starter Roy Halla-
day answers to ”Roy” for four straight days, then morphs
into ”Doc” when it’s his turn to pitch. According to short-
stop Jimmy Rollins, Kyle Kendrick goes by ”LeRoy,”
even though his middle name is Rodney.Just for the sake
of minimizing confusion, the Phillies might want to think
up a new and more distinctive moniker for Roy Oswalt,
the latest addition to their starting rotation. Based on the
events of Friday night, it might be wise to hold off on
”Savior.” Or ”Lucky.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,432,493,899]]<|/det|>
“”He was throwing 92-94 [mph], but it didn’t look like he
had much deception, and he didn’t have a strikeout pitch.
He had to throw a lot of breaking balls because he lacked
fastball command, and he didn’t have a swing-and-miss
breaking ball.” It was that kind of night all around. In
the third inning, Oswalt hit an opposite-field line drive for
an apparent base hit. But Nationals right fielder Roger
Bernadina, playing shallow, came up throwing and nailed
him at first base by a step. Once Oswalt’s new teammates
get to know him better, they might subject him to some
ribbing for being on the wrong end of a 9-3 putout. ”It’s
not fair when a pitcher gets penalized for a good single,”
Phillies closer Brad Lidge joked. ”Roy’s a pretty good
hitter. He’s going to have to start turning on balls and
back-legging some home runs.” Of course, this isn’t the
Roy Oswalt who posted a 143-82 record and made three
All-Star Games as an Astro, and the Phillies are happy to
give him a mulligan. Lidge knows Oswalt from their six
seasons together in Houston, and Rollins and Shane Vic-
torino played with him on Team USA in the World Base-
ball Classic. Starting Saturday, Oswalt can exhale, and
his fellow Phillies will do their best to welcome him to
the fraternity and ease his comfort level. ”Nobody wanted
to talk to him today, obviously,” Cole Hamels said, ”so
we’ll get to know him tomorrow. Things can get back to
normal. I’ve heard great things about him. He’s a qual-
ity person on and off the field.” On the subject of nick-
names, how long will it take until some enterprising head-
line writer refers to the Halladay-Hamels-Oswalt combi-
nation as H2O? While Oswalt adapts to this new chapter
in Philadelphia, he’s seeing his baseball career flash be-
fore his eyes. On Thursday, he said goodbye to the only
franchise he had ever known. On Friday, he learned that
Lance Berkman – the face of the Houston organization
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,287,795,465]]<|/det|>
since Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio left town – was on the
verge of becoming a New York Yankee. The two are suffi-
ciently close that Berkman was the first person that Oswalt
called when he learned he had been traded to Philadelphia.
”I think it’ll be good for Lance,” Oswalt said. ”Sometimes
you get into a rut doing the same thing over and over, and
I think it will be great for him to get back into a pennant
race and feel the excitement of it.” Oswalt could just as
easily have been referring to a certain 6-foot, 190-pound
right-hander who now pitches for the Phillies. He’s al-
ready feeling the excitement over his new baseball home.
All he has to do now is give the Phillies a glimpse of the
real Roy Oswalt.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,473,795,541]]<|/det|>
I didn’t see the kind of stuff you expect to see from Roy
Oswalt. I always remember him having a lot of move-
ment, and tonight his ball didn’t have much tail or sink to
it. There just wasn’t much life on his pitches.” – A scout
at Friday’s game

ture and Science Center has space remaining in its sum-
mer camp programs for children entering the 5th and 6th
grades. Pre-registration is required for all camps.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,672,493,740]]<|/det|>
“The Watchung Reservation is the perfect location for
a child to become immersed in nature,” said Freeholder
Deborah Scanlon. “It’s extraordinary to watch a child’s
imagination and love for nature bloom through hikes,
crafts, games and other activities.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,748,493,912]]<|/det|>
New this year is “Kids for Conversation” where students
explore the ways we depend on nature every day and
find out ways for living a greener lifestyle that will keep
the Earth healthy for generations to come. Through fun-
filled activities and crafts, children will learn how climate
changes are affecting our environment and experiment
with solutions on how to clean up our waterways. Make
paper, tie-dye a t-shirt, participate in a planting project,
search for frogs and fish in Lake Surprise and much more!
Sessions are open for the weeks of June 29 – July 3 from
1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and August 10 – 14 from 9:00 a.m. to
12 noon.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,94,795,203]]<|/det|>
“Backwoods Lore,” offered during July 13 – 17 and Au-
gust 10 – 14 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., or August 3 – 7 from
9:00 a.m. to 12 noon, will take students back in time to
find out what it was like to live as an American pioneer.
Participants in this camp will learn how to build an emer-
gency shelter in the woods, track local mammals, identify
wild plants that are safe to eat and find out how to follow
a course using only a map and compass.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,211,795,348]]<|/det|>
Children will delight to explore the mysteries of the deep
in “Ocean Wonders,” offered during the weeks of July 6
– 10 and July 20 – 24 from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon. Learn
all about the brightly colored animals of a coral reef and
investigate the creatures of the deep, dark ocean depths.
The weekly sessions culminate with a Friday field trip (9
a.m. – 3 p.m.) to Sandy Hook to catch, identify and re-
lease local marine mammals. Identify shells found on the
beach and have fun seining in the ocean for minnows, pipe
fish and more.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,356,795,492]]<|/det|>
Participants in “Herptile Hunters” will take an in-depth
look at the extraordinary world of reptiles and amphib-
ians. Each day campers will investigate a different area of
the reservation in search of local frogs, toads, turtles, sala-
manders and snakes. Learn how to properly catch, handle
and identify these unique creatures. Throughout the week,
participants will help Trailside naturalists care for the res-
ident herptiles kept onsite at the Center. Sessions are open
on June 29 – July 3 and July 13 – 17 from 9:00 a.m. to 12

Comcast’s long, bitter struggle with the NFL Network
ended last year, but that was only the beginning of the
cable giant’s waffling over whether or not to charge cus-
tomers extra for the channel.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,204,795,286]]<|/det|>
I subscribe to Comcast’s Digital Starter package and
was flabbergasted last season as Comcast gave and took
the channel away every few weeks without explanation.
William is in the same boat and was unable to access the
channel for the weekend’s slate of preseason games, while
I had access to the channel. He writes:
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,294,795,430]]<|/det|>
So I woke this morning looking forward to a day full of
football. I thought I would start by turning over to the
NFL network, which for the last year, has been included
in my Digital Starter subscription. To my horror, I got a
message on the screen telling me to call to order. This
couldn’t be right, I thought, so I went to the comcast web-
site to double checked the lineup for Memphis,TN. To my
aboslute disgust, I found that the NFL Network has been
moved to something called the Sports Package, which is
extra.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,438,787,451]]<|/det|>
I absolutely plan on switching to DirecTV immediately.
<|ref|>sub_title<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,478,788,504]]<|/det|>
## Comcast Digital Starter subscribers, do you have the
channel these days? Did you get it last year?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,521,795,740]]<|/det|>
On the strength of a BMCR review, I spent the last few
days reading Laura Salah Nasrallah’s Christian Responses
to Roman Art and Architecture. (Cambridge 2010). The
book juxtaposes the works of several 2nd c. Christian
“apologists” (Tatian, Justin, Athenagoras, and Clement of
Alexandria) and the space of the Roman empire. To do
this, she parallels the texts with specific places within the
Roman world (e.g. the Sebasteion at Aphrodisias or the
Trajans forum) or specific works of art (e.g. statues of
Commodus as Herakles or the Aphrodite of Knidos). Both
the texts, the space, and the works of art themselves fall
significantly outside my area of expertise. The approach,
on the other hand, which assumes that texts are no more
or nor less products of the same culture that produced un-
derstandable spaces and statues within the Roman world
represents a significant interest to me.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,748,795,912]]<|/det|>
In particular, I was intrigued by how Nasrallah used these
texts as evidence for Christian response to the built envi-
ronment of the Roman world. Of course, this response
was, to a certain extent, constructed by the author’s deci-
sion to juxtapose particular texts with particular environ-
ments (see the BMCR review for this observation), but, at
the same time, the move to compare texts and monuments
in a way that shed light on critical readings of built space
was, to me at least, novel. The alienated (or at least con-
flicted) posture of figures like Tatian when positioned op-
posite the imperial rhetoric of the Sebasteion is particular
striking and reminds me of John Clarke’s more specula-

<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,94,493,134]]<|/det|>
tive approach to the reading of Trajan’s column in his Art
in the lives of Ordinary Romans (Berkeley 2003) or some
of the essays in J. Elsner’s Roman Eyes (Princeton 2007).
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,142,493,361]]<|/det|>
My impression is that Nasrallah’s use of texts was a con-
venient concession to traditional practices in art and archi-
tectural history and archaeology of the Classical World
that continues to imagine texts as the point of departure
for rigorous analysis of meaning and space. When pushed
a step further to deal exclusively with built environments
in places uninformed by robust textual sources, the as-
sumption that spaces can accommodate a wide range of
viewers (including those bent on resisting, subverting, or
even co-opting “intended messages”) becomes decidedly
more foggy. As the BMCR review noted, even Nasrallah
moves cautiously in many cases when she enters into re-
lationship between the act of reading a text and the act of
reading a space or monument; the author is more willing
to leave the texts juxtaposed than to bring out opportuni-
ties for mutual critique.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,369,493,671]]<|/det|>
In my recent work on the monumental spaces of Justini-
anic Corinth (it is, on my blog, all about me, of course),
I’ve had to confront a similar tension not between texts,
but between monuments. I shared Nasrallah’s assumption
that it is possible to recover the resistance and critique of
the built environment through juxtaposing different types
of texts; for Corinth, however, these texts are not the liter-
ary (or even really epigraphical kind), but other roughly
contemporary monuments. Like Nasrallah and her au-
thors, I have done what I can to understand the act of
building as a response to particular (and maybe recov-
erable) activities within the physical environment. But
this reading of the relationship between buildings captures
only one response within a monumentalized discourse in
the landscape. The ongoing dialog between experiences
across the landscape continuously reinscribed monumen-
tal places with meanings and presented opportunities for
resistance. The decision whether to resist, to critique, or
to accept the meanings produced through the productive
juxtaposition of places in the landscape returns agency to
the viewer and undermines the power traditionally located
in imperialist policies.

<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,886,795,912]]<|/det|>
So, while you have seen that how Nokia 500 looks like and what’s the content inside via the unboxing video, its time
to do a recap and then back to usual Layman’s take. | |

Like I said in last post, low price phones like Nokia C5, Nokia E5, Nokia 5800, Nokia 5233, Nokia 7230 etc always
had a special place for me and I gave them a due whenever got a chance, so when you hear about a phone with
1GHz processor under 10k, then its kind of natural to get excited about it. Nokia 500 been the first of 1GHz Symbian
Smartphone lineup from Nokia and while its obviously not going to be make big buzz on big tech sites you read, this
is sure something that mean business in Asian countries.
<|ref|>sub_title<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,179,260,192]]<|/det|>
## Nokia 500: The naming scheme
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,205,682,245]]<|/det|>
It’s been a lot of confusing lately with names like C6-00, C6-01, X2-00, X2-03 etc... but finally Nokia taken the
suggestions and went back to the old naming conventions like we knew Nokia sometimes back in era or Nokia 1100,
6600 etc...
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,253,504,265]]<|/det|>
Pure numeric names for the consumer models and special names for the flagships.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,273,682,300]]<|/det|>
Sure the convention here actually has some different meaning than this, but that’s the way normal consumer may
understand it better. So, a good news to see the names like Nokia 500, 600, 700, 701 etc.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,308,682,362]]<|/det|>
I am not sure that many would remember that this is not the first Nokia 500 model. Yeah! it might come as a surprise
to you that there was already a product named Nokia 500 Auto Navigation , which was a car navigation device with a
4.3” resistive touch screen with 480272 pixels resolution supporting 65k colors. More interestingly, this device from
2008 had Samsung’s 400 Mhz CPU. Did you knew it?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,370,682,410]]<|/det|>
While no reviewers seem to be pointing over this, but I find it a bit strange that why Nokia thought to make use of this
name? Anyway, as that TomTom competitor is ancient now, so I don’t think anyone will bother when the name Nokia
500 sits tight with the names of other devices in the same range (Nokia 600, Nokia 700, Nokia 701).
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,418,682,445]]<|/det|>
Though still we heard of two more product in the old confusing naming, but we should say kudos to Nokia for listening
their community and changing the naming scheme finally.
<|ref|>sub_title<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,462,353,475]]<|/det|>
## Let’s see what I seen and thought of Nokia 500 ...
<|ref|>sub_title<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,487,289,500]]<|/det|>
## Nokia 500: The Box and the contents
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,513,682,553]]<|/det|>
I wasn’t expecting something heavy inside the box at this price (like we seen in case of Nokia 5800 long back). Sure,
there is no TV Out cable (no TV Out capability too), no premium microphones (but it is a Stereo headset) like Nokia
5800, but you didn’t seen these things with Nokia C7-00 likes too, no?
<|ref|>sub_title<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,570,438,583]]<|/det|>
## So, here goes the Nokia 500 Box Contents targeting mass users ...
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,596,682,650]]<|/det|>
You can notice that the content of box is almost the same as it has been with Nokia C7-00 except the super compact
charger Nokia AC-5E in place of AC-15E (Not sure if I ever seen such a compact charger around). Also the addition
of two swappable battery cover is might be a popular trick to engage youngsters and also keep their different league
as Nokia brand due to premium material used in construction.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,658,682,712]]<|/det|>
Complaining about “smallest USB cable in the world” is old days story, so not talking about that, but want to tell
the readers that unlike rest of Symbianˆ3 lineup, like an odd man out, Nokia 500 doesn’t have USB OTG, just like
it doesn’t have Bluetooth 3.0 (it has Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR). But its still doesn’t go as deal breaker as expect Nokia
Symbianˆ3 lineup, none of other brands have any of these, leave the low price handsets.
<|ref|>sub_title<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,729,212,742]]<|/det|>
## Nokia 500: The design
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,755,682,808]]<|/det|>
Do you know what was my first expression, when I seen this device in front of me? I was like holy cow... this thing is
so good looking for a low price handset. Same been the words of others, whoever seen it. If you would have seen the
designs of Nokia 5800, Nokia 5233 etc or the other brands in this segment, then I am sure that these looks will please
you for the price on offer (current best price is 8.5k INR around).
<|ref|>sub_title<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,826,255,839]]<|/det|>
## Just take a look at this thing ...
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,851,682,878]]<|/det|>
Nokia took the same design forward to present their first 1Ghz phone, which arrived with their first capacitive smart-
phone Nokia X6.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,886,682,912]]<|/det|>
If you thought that Nokia 500 looks fantastic from the front only and plastic (rubber actually I think) on the back might
be spoiling the looks, then look at this...

Now, think that from which side you wanna show off this nice little beauty.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,115,909,141]]<|/det|>
The bottom part of the device front contains in-surface touch buttons for Menu, Call, Call End button and an unusually
placed Microphone, if you would have noticed left part of the screen.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,149,909,189]]<|/det|>
While in switched off state, Call and Call End buttons look while, Nokia didn’t missed to put Green LED behind Call
button and Red LED for the switched on state. And by the way, did I tell you that Call End serves as Power Button as
well in case pressed enough long.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,197,909,251]]<|/det|>
Not a big surprise for people keeping track of devices in this price range, but consumers should have been much
happier if this phone was sporting a front camera. I mean, isn’t it disappointing a bit to see a device with HSDPA
Cat10 14.4 Mbps and HSUPA Cat6 5.76 Mbps but not usable as a video calling device? But again.. why to expect big
things from a budget device that is already doing great for its price?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,259,909,286]]<|/det|>
So apart from the ear piece, what else you see on the top of device front is Ambient Light Sensor and a proximity
sensor.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,294,909,348]]<|/det|>
Like I always said, if there is no good implementation to cover it, then it’s a lot better to leave the USB slot open, like
Nokia been doing with N82, N8 likes and Nokia 500 fall back in the same line. If you look closer then the USB slot
is different than other Symbianˆ3 devices, to ensure that someone may not accidently put a USB OTG cable inside the
slot. Also I should personally thank Nokia for managing to keep the USB charging feature retained with Nokia 500.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,356,909,396]]<|/det|>
Rest of the top place is taken by 3.5mm Audio jack on a side and 2mm Charging port on other side. Thank God, we
have dual charging options here, which may serve a great purpose of being a reliable modem for our PCs/Laptops.
Remember we have HSDPA Cat10 14.4 Mbps and HSUPA Cat6 5.76 Mbps here.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,404,909,444]]<|/det|>
While right side or bottom side of device has no buttons or any ports, we find a lock button and volume buttons on
the left side of the device. The Lock button is not slider here, which might be serving better for a plastic body in long
term.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,452,909,492]]<|/det|>
While many might miss this point, but you must notice the fact that the camera on back uses the glass here, no plastic
lens on the back cover. My experience with Nokia 5233 likes says that we should praise this device whole heartedly.
Adds another dimension into durability of this device.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,501,909,527]]<|/det|>
The speaker on the back isn’t anything big to be talked about. Its nothing like those almighty speakers on Nokia 5800,
Nokia N8-00 etc but still does fairer than other brands around (quality wise).
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,535,909,575]]<|/det|>
Not sure, what to say about it, but Nokia 500 carries a 1110 mAh battery in place of usual 1200 mAh that been kind
of standard to Nokia nowadays. Though sure, I don’t have a big complaint on a battery life till its above 7 hours per
charge.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,583,909,610]]<|/det|>
The placement of SIM or MicroSD card under battery makes both of them non-hot swappable, but slot open mechanism
used here again makes both of a very durable design over some pull out mechanism.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,618,909,658]]<|/det|>
The above is the back cover of the device, which is not that easy to pull it off. I mean not very much tough but still
not as easy as it been case of Nokia N82 or Nokia 5310 likes to me. But once you are used to it, the good news is, you
can swap the covers without switching off device. I know many for which it would be handy.

## Nokia 500: The Interiors
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,710,909,764]]<|/det|>
As written on the box, the prominent feature about Nokia 500 is 1GHz ARM processor. Rest usual goodies like 5MP
Full Focus Camera, HSDPA Cat10 14.4 Mbps and HSUPA Cat6 5.76 Mbps, 256 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM, 2Gb mass
memory, 32 Gb MicroSD support, WLAN IEEE 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.1 +EDR, Accelerometer Sensor, Ambient
Light Sensor and Compass (Magnetometer Sensor) fall in place with Nokia 500.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,772,909,826]]<|/det|>
Neither of 14.1 mm thickness or 3.2” LCD (non AMOLED or non CBD) is something big to talk about nor you expect
some superb viewing angles from a plain LCD Display of sub 10k device, but the display is bright enough and pixel
density should be considered as above average at 229 ppi (184 ppi of X7-00, 210 ppi of N8-00). Definitely fits enough
juice for a sub 10k device.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,834,765,847]]<|/det|>
While we have read that what we got here, let’s take a look at, what we are missing here.

## Nokia 500: The Software Experience
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,338,682,378]]<|/det|>
Once you open and go through the Symbian Anna on Nokia 500, you definitely find it lighter than its own physical
weight. 1 Ghz is so happening with Symbian’s way of utilizing resources so well though lack of 3D HW acceleration
sure makes you want more (and Nokia 600, 700, 701 are just around the corner on a little bit more price).
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,386,682,426]]<|/det|>
Never found it lagging anywhere, no matter how many apps I am running, but that’s also a fact that not many apps to
run there, thanks to no 3D acceleration. But sure its not that big deal as developers will easily adopt with this particular
device in a matter of very short time (next Gravity going to cover it for sure, I guess).
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,435,682,475]]<|/det|>
Yes, we call it Symbian Anna and it looks like Symbian Anna, but I am sure that developers behind it would have done
a great job mapping a 3D HW accelerated UI into a non-3D accelerated UI. I am not a developer but I think that the
version number 010.029, we see here should be something different than usual Symbian Anna.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,483,682,523]]<|/det|>
We don’t get to run Angry Bird, I Must Run! like popular games here and Gravity facing noticeable flickering issues ..
kind of shows that the software still need some work. Though other apps like fMobi, Nokia Store, 4squick, LinkedIn
etc works great.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,531,682,571]]<|/det|>
Rest all Symbian Anna goodies are right there, split input, Qt apps, Video Editor and Photo Editor etc. and I must say
it’s the most you get from a sub 10k device out of the box. Otherwise, you either miss 3G or miss camera or miss
resolution or missing anything like that.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,579,682,606]]<|/det|>
So, keeping the long story short, this is Nokia 500, what I seen of it. What you think about it? Tell me.. I am all ears

MEMPHIS, Tennessee/NEW YORK, New York—Three senior hotel executives have launched what is believed to
be the first hotel investment fund formed specifically to acquire hotels since the recent credit and equity market up-
heaval. Fairwood Hospitality Investors, LLC is capitalized with $150 million in equity contributed by the principals
of Fairwood Capital LLC, a newly formed private equity fund, and two institutional investors.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,676,491,688]]<|/det|>
Fairwood Capital’s principals are hospitality and real estate veterans, including:
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[126,697,682,737]]<|/det|>
• Robert Solmson, the founder, former chairman and CEO of Memphis-based RFS Hotel Investors, Inc., a
publicly held real estate investment trust (REIT), listed on the NYSE. The company was the first hotel REIT
formed in 1993 and was acquired by CNL Properties for approximately $700 million in 2003;
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[126,746,682,786]]<|/det|>
• Ed Ansbro, former senior vice-president of Equity Inns, Inc., a Memphis-based REIT, listed on the NYSE.
The company and its portfolio of 130 hotels was acquired in 2007 by Whitehall Street Global Real Estate
Limited Partnership for $2.2 billion; and
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[126,796,682,823]]<|/det|>
• Richard Reiss is chairman of New York-based Georgica Advisors and a number of other private investment
entities. Reiss was previously a RFS board member.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,831,682,912]]<|/det|>
”We believe the turmoil in the credit markets, together with the prospect of a recession, the depth and duration of which
is unknown, will create compelling opportunities to acquire hotels at historically attractive prices,” Solmson said.
“Assuming moderate leverage of approximately 50 percent, we will have up to $300 million in buying power and plan
to invest this sum over the next few years. We intend to acquire an institutional grade portfolio of premium-branded
select-service and full-service hotels that will be diversified by brand, geography and market segment. Initially, we
will focus on Marriott, Starwood (including Sheraton and Westin) and Hilton-branded products.”

Solmson noted that the company has flexibility in structuring transactions. “We intend to be entrepreneurial in our
approach and creative in structuring transactions, and we have the ability to move quickly. We will work directly with
owners, developers, brokers and management companies to source transactions. It is anticipated that all of the hotels
will be operated by third-party management companies.”

# CONTENTS OF WOLFGANG ERNST, DIGITAL MEMORY AND THE
ARCHIVE
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,310,493,405]]<|/det|>
I read with curiosity PAS’ stand on Hindraf and its skewed
understanding of Islam’s role within the constitution. It
says, among other things, ”We must secure national unity
beyond the interests of narrow racial politics.” Should this
not also include religious politics? Should it not be that
politics, which is really a secular activity, be free of racial
and religious bias altogether?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,413,493,550]]<|/det|>
What is defined as racial politics? Does it mean that race-
based political parties such as Umno, MCA, MIC and eth-
nic organisations are not ”upholding the basic principles
of our constitution?” What role then do ethnic organi-
sations play if they have a role at all according to PAS?
When is it valid for an ethnic group to fight for its rights?
Is it racial politics if the Orang Asli fight for their na-
tive forests? Does a Chinese group protecting its mother
tongue constitute racial politics? Are a group of Malays
fighting for its religion racist?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,558,493,667]]<|/det|>
Surely there must be a situation where it is legitimate for
people of the same race, who are common victims of dis-
crimination, to fight for a common cause or for their rights
without having to justify their stand or be unfairly accused
as racist. We must be careful not to confuse racial dis-
crimination with racial identification. Affinity groups of-
ten have a common denominator and race is the obvious
one.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,675,493,784]]<|/det|>
Some are wary of Hindraf’s race-based demands and
question if they should be more inclusive. That would be
an idealism, one more appropriate in a situation where In-
dians have the resources to do that. It seems like a tough
task. Since Malaysian affairs are often conducted along
racial lines, it is natural for every ethnic and religious
group to look after its own interests. There is a place for
it.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,792,493,860]]<|/det|>
It is not ideal but Malaysian politics is far from perfect.
Looking after the interests of your own house first is being
pragmatic. It only becomes unconstitutional and immoral
when you deny others the same rights. This is why we
criticise Umno for its double standards.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,868,493,908]]<|/det|>
I don’t know what Hindraf’s ultimate goals are. Many
people support its moves to redress the Indian poverty trap
but not necessarily its broader religious aims, which has
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,310,795,405]]<|/det|>
put the government on notice in a peculiar and oblique but
clever way. No matter what the critics say, Indians have a
right to plead their case without unfair accusations of be-
ing racist. What Hindraf will do beyond that is uncertain.
It is left to be seen if its leaders are not unceremoniously
and unfairly locked away. This will only harden the re-
solve of the Indians and their friends.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,413,795,536]]<|/det|>
If PAS is genuinely concerned for national unity then it
should drop its demands for an Islamic state and abide
by the spirit of the constitution which it advocates. This
spirit is definitely not Islam as PAS asserts. Its clamour for
an Islamic state is the reason why many Malaysians are
wary of PAS and what it will do if it gets into power. PAS
needs to clearly spell out its manifesto, the rights of non-
Muslims under a PAS government and how significantly
different they are from Umno.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,544,795,639]]<|/det|>
The spirit of the constitution is an equitable, secular state
with Islam as the official religion. This is its historical
position which is a world of difference from PAS’ claim
that ”Islam is the pillar and the spiritual force in our Fed-
eral Constitution.” Such an interpretation itself would be
guilty of insensitivity that ”hurt other people’s feelings”
as the writer warns against.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,647,795,756]]<|/det|>
In the context that framed the original constitution, Is-
lam being declared the official religion has a vastly dif-
ferent meaning from an Islam that pervades every space
of civil society. The latter Islamisation process should not
be confused with the original intent Islam’s role in a sec-
ular state. If we remain true to history, it was meant to be
more ceremonial in nature, not unlike the role of Chris-
tianity in England.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,764,795,887]]<|/det|>
If PAS wants to be taken seriously as a just and inclusive
party, it should come clean and drop its Islamic state am-
bition. It is the stumbling block to both opposition unity
and national unity. Malaysia, Islamic state or not, is al-
ready functioning as if it is one. Perhaps someday Mus-
lims may realise that true religion is not about form but
substance, as former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad
has publicly said. Being fair is more important than being
supreme. | |

<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,94,493,203]]<|/det|>
Islamic state or not, the country’s shortcomings are all
too glaring and an embarrassment to Islam which does
not condone corruption, injustice, lying, slander and all
manner of immoral conduct. Yet we know those in power
who preach religion would do the opposite of what Islam
teaches. Today the country is morally wrecked by corrup-
tion rendering worthless the credibility of a government
that has declared war on corruption.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,211,493,361]]<|/det|>
In a constitution so clearly defined and successfully im-
plemented during the nation’s first decade of inception, it
would be wrong for subsequent Islamic agenda to alter the
true meaning of the role of Islam in a secular state. It is
one thing to revise a constitution and another to wrongly
state its original intent. It seems to me that the problem
stems from the fear of confusing secular for irreligious
which I know to be untrue in secular states. In secular
states, religion is often practised truer to its teachings than
the “form over substance” variety found in so-called reli-
gious states.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,369,493,478]]<|/det|>
We know for a fact that it is only in the West where
democracy thrives that the religious are able to practise
their beliefs without hindrance.
It is there that bigots
are not allowed to cause trouble and where the different
strains of a religion (including Islam) can co-exist. The
fact that more Muslims emigrate to Western countries (not
only for economic purposes) speaks for the failure of the
“form over substance” religious states.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,487,493,582]]<|/det|>
We are told that Islam preaches justice and yet we know
that most of the failed states are Islamic states.
Even
Malaysia has tried to distance itself from other Islamic
states with its version of Islam Hadhari. Incidentally, the
recent arrests of Bersih, Hindraf and Bar Council leaders
provides proof of Abdullah’s Islam Hadhari sanctions and
the police state Mahathir described.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,590,493,685]]<|/det|>
PAS’ insistence on an Islamic state has become its polit-
ical Achilles’ heel. Umno is laughing all the way to the
ballot box on the backs of a secular state, one which func-
tions like a de facto Islamic state. Perhaps PAS should
worry less about Hindraf and more about making the
country’s politics free of race and religion if it wants to
play a broader role in Malaysian politics.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,693,493,747]]<|/det|>
It is not to say that religion has no role to play but religion
and state don’t always guarantee good governance. In the
long run, it is the people’s commitment to higher common
values that would be more pragmatic and workable.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,755,493,878]]<|/det|>
Good news for the start of 2013: the volume of Wolfgang
Ernst writings Digital Memory and the Archive is out!
The book is soon available in bookstores. The collection
that I edited is the first to introduce this very important
German media theorist whose style of media archaeology
is highly exciting and provocative. Ernst is one of the
significant names in the German media studies landscape,
and represents one of the directions where theory is going
in the post-Friedrich Kittler world.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,94,795,299]]<|/det|>
Ernst’s interest in media archaeology is very material, and
insists on the agency of the machine. His theories are in-
terested in material epistemologies and the operationality
of old media devices. Media devices govern our ways
of seeing and hearing, but also our modes of knowledge.
Hence, Ernst’s media theory is a way to understand the
change in our archival logic in software culture. But it’s
not only about the digital and not only about archives.
Indeed, his writings on the sonic and in general media
arts are important insights into a meticulous material me-
dia theory that represents a unique way to understand the
persistence of history and time. Ernst writes his theory
through mediatic paths: from television to internet cul-
tures, media arts to archival institutions, Hertzian discov-
eries to sound.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,307,795,403]]<|/det|>
The collection has a longer introduction by me, as well
as the section introductions that I wrote. Ernst was kind
enough to write his own preface to this English edition
of his writings where he pitches the idea of cross-Atlantic
influences and meditation on what is happening in media
studies at the moment. An inspiring read. Or in Wendy
Chun’s words, quoting her endorsement:
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,411,795,547]]<|/det|>
“Digital Memory and the Archive offers the most com-
pelling and insightful account published to date of how
and why objects matter. Moving beyond textual analy-
sis, its careful, theoretically rigorous engagement with the
relic—the physicality of the archive—promises to change
the direction of the digital humanities.
Thanks to this
book, we will all now be addressing the microtemporal-
ity of archives and the mechanics of remaining. Finally, a
definitive collection in English of one of the most brilliant
and influential media archaeologists.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,555,795,596]]<|/det|>
Below you will find the short blurb from the publisher
University of Minnesota Press website as well as the table
of contents.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,604,795,726]]<|/det|>
In the popular imagination, archives are remote, largely
obsolete institutions: either antiquated, inevitably dusty
libraries or sinister repositories of personal secrets main-
tained by police states. Yet the archive is now a ubiquitous
feature of digital life. Rather than being deleted, e-mails
and other computer files are archived. Media software and
cloud storage allow for the instantaneous cataloging and
preservation of data, from music, photographs, and videos
to personal information gathered by social media sites.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,735,795,871]]<|/det|>
In this digital landscape, the archival-oriented media the-
ories of Wolfgang Ernst are particularly relevant. Digital
Memory and the Archive, the first English-language col-
lection of the German media theorist’s work, brings to-
gether essays that present Ernst’s controversial materialist
approach to media theory and history. His insights are
central to the emerging field of media archaeology, which
uncovers the role of specific technologies and mecha-
nisms, rather than content, in shaping contemporary cul-
ture and society.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[506,879,795,906]]<|/det|>

a new perspective on both current digital culture and the
infrastructure of media historical knowledge. For Ernst,
different forms of media systems—from library catalogs
to sound recordings—have influenced the content and un-
derstanding of the archive and other institutions of mem-
ory. At the same time, digital archiving has become a con-
tested site that is highly resistant to curation, thus compli-
cating the creation and preservation of cultural memory
and history.

## Appendix. Archive Rumblings: An Interview with
Wolfgang Ernst , by Geert Lovink
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,789,607,912]]<|/det|>
What is Media Archaeology? gives no direct answer to the
question that it poses. Instead, it gives a map – a cartogra-
phy of how to see the field of media archaeology defined
by various theories and directions, that help us to go to
places – and think things. However, I remember trying to
think through definitions of media archaeology – a useful
task to bring clarity. I originally doodled something like
this for my working blog for that WiMA book, but let’s re-
turn to that now. This thinking aloud was partly triggered
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,94,909,134]]<|/det|>
by my soon to be new colleague Sunil Manghani’s ques-
tion...so how does media archaeology differ from media
history.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,142,909,182]]<|/det|>
Here is one attempt to give definition type of coordi-
nates...although this does not exhaust the richness of MA
and its various traditions.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,190,909,355]]<|/det|>
Media archaeology can be understood as a heterogeneous
set of theories and methods that investigate media history
through its alternative roots, forgotten paths, neglected
ideas and machines. It explicitly challenges the supposed
newness of digital culture. Media archaeology gives new
ideas to understand media cultural temporality. The def-
initions have ranged from emphasising the recurring na-
ture of media cultural discourses (Huhtamo) to media ar-
chaeology as an-archaeology, or variantology (Zielinski)
which in its excavation of the deep time layers of our
means of seeing tries to find an alternative route to dis-
mantle the fallacy of linear development.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,363,909,623]]<|/det|>
Furthermore, I see media archaeology as a history-theory
enterprise in which temporal excavation of media func-
tions as a theoretical force as well; a reading of old media
and new media in parallel lines. Media archaeology is de-
cisively non-linear, and rigorously theoretical in its media
historical interest of knowledge. In a Benjaminian vein,
it abandons historicism when by it is meant the idea that
the past is given and out there waiting for us to find it;
instead, it believes in the radical assembling of history,
and histories in the plural, but so that it is not only a sub-
set of cultural historical writing. Instead, media archae-
ology needs to insist both on the material nature of its
enterprise – that media are always articulated in material,
also in non-narrative frameworks whether technical media
such as photography, or algorithmic media features such
as databases and software networks – and that the work
of assembling temporal mediations takes place in an in-
creasingly varied and distributed network of institutions,
practices and technological platforms.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,631,909,726]]<|/det|>
Indeed, what media archaeology investigates are also the
practical rewirings of time, as is done in media artistic and
creative practice work, through archives digital and tradi-
tional, as well as DIY and circuit bending which recycle,
and remix obsolete technology as much as they investigate
aesthetic and political economic conditions of technical
media.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,735,909,789]]<|/det|>
Media archaeology takes place in artistic labs, laborato-
ries where hardware and software are hacked and opened,
but also in in conceptual labs for experimenting with con-
cepts and ideas.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,797,909,851]]<|/det|>
So as you can see, it moves into certain material charac-
teristics that I want to keep close to media archaeology. It
does not mean that this it the only to approach MA. For
instance, here is what Huhtamo wrote.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[620,859,909,885]]<|/det|>
It’s out, and gradually in book stores — What is Media
Archaeology? (Polity),

Contents of Wolfgang Ernst, Digital Memory and the Archive
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,94,380,189]]<|/det|>
It picks up where the edited volume Media Archaeol-
ogy: Approaches, Applications, and Implications (Huh-
tamo and Parikka) left off; this means the implications bit,
and how media archaeology relates to other recent discus-
sions in art, cultural and media theory: software studies,
new materialism, archives, and more. In other words, it
complements the earlier collection.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[91,197,149,210]]<|/det|>
So in short,
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[120,225,289,237]]<|/det|>
1. ) What IS media archaeology?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[120,244,380,546]]<|/det|>
2. depends who you ask. If you ask Erkki Huhtamo
or Siegfried Zielinski, you might get a different
answer than from asking me. For Huhtamo, it
is the recurring topoi/topics of media culture; for
Zielinski, a poetic exploration of deep times and
variantology; and so forth. For me, it is an ex-
citing theoretical opening to think about material
media cultures in a historical perspective. How-
ever, it expands into an experimental set of ques-
tioning about time, obsolescence, and alternative
histories as well. In one way, it is about analyz-
ing the conditions of existence of media cultural
objects, processes and phenomena. It picks up
on some strands of “German media theory”, but
connects that to other debates in cultural theory
too.I like what Bernhard Siegert has said about
the early ethos of media archaeology being that
of Nietzschean gay science — experimental, ex-
ploratory, radical. Perhaps in this vein, media
archaeology is one answer to the need to think
transdiscplinary questions of art, science, philos-
ophy and technology.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[120,552,380,579]]<|/det|>
3. ) Isn’t it just media history that tries to rebrand
itself?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[120,586,380,750]]<|/det|>
4. No, not really. A lot of the media archaeologi-
cal work expands to strong theoretical arguments
as well as quite different sorts of historical in-
quiry than one recognizes in media historical
work. Having said that, perhaps this is where the
interesting connections are emerging; how me-
dia archaeology can contribute to media histori-
cal inquiry as well as to thinking about archives
and cultural memory. There is one chapter on
archives in this new book. A lot of media ar-
chaeology owes to earlier new cultural histories
and new historicism, so the link is there.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[120,756,380,783]]<|/det|>
5. ) Isn’t media archaeology only a footnote to Kit-
tler’s work?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[120,789,380,912]]<|/det|>
6. That would be unfair towards a bunch of other
theorists, German and non-German. Kittler him-
self denied being a media archaeologist, even if
a lot of the stuff has taken much inspiration from
him and the idea of looking at “conditions of ex-
istence” of cultural formations through (techni-
cal) media.
Even Germany is filled with me-
dia archaeological work, since 1980s, and a lot
of that expands to such new directions as Cul-
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[422,94,682,222]]<|/det|>
tural Techniques (Siegert, Krajewski, Vissman,
and others) as well as other media archaeologists
— not least Wolfgang Ernst.
In addition, the
book offers an insight to other media archaeo-
logical theories, such as Huhtamo’s, Zielinski’s,
new film history (Elsaesser et al) as well as the
links to emerging media studies fields such as
digital humanities (eg Kirschenbaum’s work).
7. ) Sounds like the book is all theory, huh?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[393,236,682,386]]<|/det|>
There is more than just media theory — although I admit,
that because of the nature of the book, was not able to
work too much of new empirical material there. However,
one key thing that pops up in the book is the use of me-
dia archaeology as an artistic method. There is a whole
chapter dedicated to that. I think one of the most exciting
directions is to see how these methodologies can be used
in design, arts and other fields of creative practice that
anyway are interested in themes of obsolescence, media
and technological affordance, the environment and ecol-
ogy, remix and for instance hardware (even analogue!).
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[422,401,682,525]]<|/det|>
1. ) What next?
2. No more media archaeology for me. Well, I have
jokingly promised that I won’t use the term any-
more, even if I am interested in seeing where this
term might take us. I will come up with a dis-
guise, a theoretical disguise.
3. ) your chance to ask me a question!
4. and I will answer, if I can.

(From the Publisher’s catalogue and website):
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[393,581,682,635]]<|/det|>
This cutting-edge text offers an introduction to the emerg-
ing field of media archaeology and analyses the innova-
tive theoretical and artistic methodology used to excavate
current media through its past.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[393,643,682,752]]<|/det|>
Written with a steampunk attitude, What is Media Ar-
chaeology? examines the theoretical challenges of study-
ing digital culture and memory and opens up the sedi-
mented layers of contemporary media culture. The author
contextualizes media archaeology in relation to other key
media studies debates including software studies, German
media theory, imaginary media research, new materialism
and digital humanities.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[393,760,682,841]]<|/det|>
What is Media Archaeology? advances an innovative the-
oretical position while also presenting an engaging and
accessible overview for students of media, film and cul-
tural studies. It will be essential reading for anyone inter-
ested in the interdisciplinary ties between art, technology
and media.

# COLLINS SAID THIS INDICATES A ”CULTURE PROBLEM.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,281,795,321]]<|/det|>
The swelling scandal over the alleged sexual indiscretions of nearly two dozen Secret Service agents and military
personnel in Colombia has raised questions about the ”secret” culture at the nation’s elite protection agency – and few
are feeling the heat more intensely than its director, Mark Sullivan.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,329,795,383]]<|/det|>
So far, officials on both sides of the aisle are largely defending Sullivan’s leadership. President Obama ”has confi-
dence” in the director, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday. Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the
House Homeland Security Committee, and other lawmakers have vouched for Sullivan and praised his swift response
to allegations of misconduct in Colombia last week.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,391,795,417]]<|/det|>
But at the same time, lawmakers have questioned what the incident reveals about the ”culture” at the Secret Service.
Some doubt this is the first time, and warn that the agents’ alleged actions could have put the U.S. at risk.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,426,795,479]]<|/det|>
At least one lawmaker, Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., says Sullivan should be replaced. ”In baseball, you get three strikes
and you’re out. I don’t know how many strikes you get in national security, but the strikes are mounting up,” Forbes,
a member of the House Armed Services Committee, told Fox News on Wednesday. ”Now they can’t even control the
fact that their agents are busing in loads of prostitutes. I think it’s about time that we say they’re out.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,488,795,514]]<|/det|>
And Ronald Kessler, the author who broke the story on the prostitution scandal in coordination with The Washington
Post, said repeatedly in interviews this week that Sullivan must go.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,522,795,576]]<|/det|>
”The answer is not congressional hearings and a lot of hot air out of Congress. The answer is replacing Mark Sullivan,”
Kessler told Fox News, accusing him of presiding over an agency marred by ”corner-cutting” and ”laxness.” He cited,
among other complaints, the 2009 incident in which aspiring reality-show couple the Salahis crashed a White House
dinner.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,584,795,610]]<|/det|>
Sullivan, while pursuing an internal investigation, has requested an independent review from the agency’s inspector
general.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,618,795,672]]<|/det|>
For these steps, lawmakers have applauded him. The highly regarded director – a Bush administration appointee
retained by Obama – is practically a lifelong Secret Service agent, having served nearly three decades at the agency.
He started his career in the Detroit office in 1983, moving his way steadily up the ranks – through the presidential
protective division in the 1990s and ultimately to the position of director in 2006.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,680,795,707]]<|/det|>
But the alleged misconduct in Colombia is a stain on the agency he runs. Some lawmakers are dubious the incident is
isolated, and warn that the security risks are far higher than is being portrayed.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,715,795,783]]<|/det|>
”It is hard for me to believe that this is the one and only time this has happened because there were so many Secret
Service members involved,” Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, told Fox News. After speaking with Sullivan, Collins
claimed Monday he revealed up to 21 women were brought to the hotel where the agents were staying. The Department
of Homeland Security later disputed that figure. Eleven Secret Service agents have nevertheless been implicated, along
with 10 military members, according to sources.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,791,795,817]]<|/det|>
”If it had been one or two, then you would think that it’s just one bad apple. But for 11 or 12 to be involved is really
alarming,” Collins said.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,825,795,852]]<|/det|>
She added: ”Who knows who (the women) were working for? So they may have been sent to lure these agents into a
trap to kidnap them, to disable their guns, to plant eavesdropping devices. The implications are mind boggling.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,860,795,886]]<|/det|>
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has raised similar
concerns. | |
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[497,45,731,58]]<|/det|>
Collins said this indicates a ”culture problem.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,94,909,120]]<|/det|>
But Dave Wilkinson, a retired agent who served for years with Sullivan, rejected the idea of a ”culture” problem at the
Service as well as Kessler’s comments.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,128,909,155]]<|/det|>
”It’s really just those few agents and/or military folks that made this bad decision,” he said. ”It certainly doesn’t
suggest that the culture of the Secret Service is in any way a part of this.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,163,909,203]]<|/det|>
He said reports of so-called ”wheels-up” parties – where agents would supposedly kick back upon the conclusion of
an assignment – have been misconstrued. He said the term typically refers to formal receptions held by host embassies
and ambassadors after a delegation visit.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,211,893,224]]<|/det|>
In an interview with FoxNews.com, Wilkinson stood by Sullivan and said the incident should not cost him his job.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,232,909,258]]<|/det|>
”We came up through the Secret Service together,” he said, recalling their time together during the Clinton adminis-
tration. ”You will not find a more dedicated, more conscientious, level-headed leader for the Secret Service.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,266,909,293]]<|/det|>
King earlier told Fox News that Sullivan took a ”bad rap” for the Salahi incident. He blamed that breach on the White
House social secretary, who later resigned, rather than the Service.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,301,894,313]]<|/det|>
”I have a great regard for Director Sullivan,” King said. ”This could not have been (investigated) more efficiently.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,321,909,362]]<|/det|>
As director, Sullivan is responsible for an agency with more than 150 offices around the world. The Service not only
protects the president and his family, but also is tasked with protecting foreign delegations and other top U.S. officials
as well as conducting criminal investigations.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,370,909,396]]<|/det|>
On Tuesday, Carney said Sullivan ”acted swiftly in response to this incident.” Obama earlier said he would be ”angry”
if the allegations against the agents turn out to be true, but voiced confidence in the Service itself.

## Ip Man’s Wing Chun
<|ref|>sub_title<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,482,442,495]]<|/det|>
## Straight Punch Section
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,514,909,554]]<|/det|>
There is a saying in kung fu that “it is hard for a student to find a good sifu, but it is even more difficult for a sifu to find
a good student” It is also said that there are systems of kung fu that have been lost over the passage of time because
the masters could find no worthy student to whom to pass the traditions and heritage.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,562,909,602]]<|/det|>
This could well have been the case for Wing Chun, had Leung Bik, son of the famous Wing Chun Master Leung
Jan, not met Ip Man, his only student. Ip Man proved not only to be a great student, but a genius in fulfilling the
responsibility of passing the art on to the future generations of masters.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,610,909,637]]<|/det|>
It was due to Ip Man’s innovations that Wing Chun was able to spread from a little city in Southern China to become
one of the most popular and sought after systems of Martial Arts in the world.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,645,909,699]]<|/det|>
Ip Man was born in Foshan, China, at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Foshan was situated in the most prosperous region
of the Zheyleng Delta of Guangdong province. Wong Fai hung, Cheung Hung-shing, Leung Jan, Leung Siu-Ching,
etc., came from Foshan. So Ip Man, grew up hearing the stories of the exploits of these great kung fu men. It’s not
surprising that he would develop into one of the greats himself.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,707,909,774]]<|/det|>
Ip Man’s education in Wing Chun began as a youth when he became a student of Chan Wah Shun, who was a student
of the famous Leung Jan. Chan Wah Shun accepted Ip Man as a student towards the end of his teaching career, when
he was quite old. Master Chan was a big man by Chinese standards. So his Kung fu was powerful. Ip Man learned
from Master Chan until the masters, death, and continued his training with one of his senior Kung Fu brothers (si-hing)
until Ip Man left Foshan for Hong Kong.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,782,909,836]]<|/det|>
p Man moved to Hong Kong to attend school. Here, he had a chance meeting with an old gentleman who was a martial
artist. This old man crossed hands with Ip Man and beat him soundly. This disturbed Ip Man very much, as he had
developed his kung fu to a high level and considered himself to be quite proficient. As it turned out, the old gentleman
was Leung Bik, the son of Master Chan Wah Shun’s teacher, the famous, Leung Jan.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,844,909,912]]<|/det|>
Master Leung Bik’s Wing Chun was much more refined than what Ip Man had leaned from Master Chan. While Chan
Wah Shun had been a big man, Leung Bik was much smaller. There also was a pretty wide gap in the education level
between the two masters. Chan Wah Shun was nor very well educated, while Leung Bik’s father was a well-educated
doctor of Chinese medicine. This education was passed to his son. Thus, Leung Bik was better able to understand the
underlying principles of the Wing Chun system. This knowledge was passed to Ip Man.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[611,937,617,950]]<|/det|>
2 | |
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[383,45,617,58]]<|/det|>
Collins said this indicates a ”culture problem.”
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,94,795,189]]<|/det|>
Upon learning all that Leung Bik had to teach him, Ip Man went on to explore ways to simplify Wing Chun, making
it easier to understand. In addition to his education in Wing Chun, Ip Man received an advanced formal education in
his youth. He learnt the theories and principles of modem science and could therefore make use of modem techno-
logical knowledge, such as mechanical and mathematical theories, to expand the principles of Wing Chun. Ip Man
even changed terminology, such as the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams (Ba Gua) that were commonly used in
metaphysics. This helped to demystify Wing Chun, thus making it easier for the common student to understand and
apply the system.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,197,795,251]]<|/det|>
It is thanks to Master Ip Man that the modern Wing Chun system is so popular. Among the kung fu systems, Wing
Chun is considered one of the simplest to learn and understand. The system is known to be direct, simple, economical
in application, and highly effective in combat. Master Ip Man’s contributions to the evolution of Wing Chun can be
credited for building the systems reputation. These innovations demonstrated the intelligence of Ip Man.

## Defining “Degenerate Music” in Nazi Germany
<|ref|>sub_title<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,362,298,375]]<|/det|>
## By Pamela Potter
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,390,795,513]]<|/det|>
During the twelve years of the Third Reich’s existence, there was no shortage of hyperbole in the representation of
art’s role and artists’ obligations within the new state. Anyone who approaches the subject will be familiar with Leni
Riefenstahl’s brilliant piece of film propaganda, Triumph of the Will, with the sleek and imposing neoclassicism of
the Olympic stadium and Reich Chancellery, with their muscle bound statuary and with Paul Ludwig Troost’s House
of German Art. Digging deeper, one discovers that Hitler laid the cornerstone for this art museum amidst a pompous
procession of the history of “German” art that borrowed shamelessly from ancient Greece, and that the museum’s
grand opening in 1937 featured not only a hand-selected collection of works considered truly German but also an
accompanying exhibit of illegally seized modernist art displayed, mockingly, as the “degenerate” work of charlatans,
racial inferiors and the mentally deranged.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,521,795,575]]<|/det|>
One year later it was music’s turn with the creation of the Reich Music Days, which assembled music organizations
from around the country and which Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels opened with a speech on the “ten com-
mandments” for German music. A parallel exhibit on “degenerate music” vilified jazz, modernism and the alleged
Bolshevik and Jewish domination of German musical taste under the Weimar Republic.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,583,795,678]]<|/det|>
Yet, tempting though it may be to take the Degenerate Music exhibit at face value and to regard it as a global statement
of Nazi Germany’s repression of musical freedom, some important questions must be asked in order to arrive at an
understanding of the event and its impact. Could an exhibit about music successfully convey a clear delineation
between ideals of “good” and “bad” creative work as effectively as an exhibit of visual arts? Did this exhibit truly
represent the state of German musical life at the time or merely the wishful thinking of rabid ideologues? The images
and vitriolic language of this event are abhorrent to our twenty-first-century sensibilities, but how might such visual
and verbal rhetoric have resonated in 1938?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,686,795,809]]<|/det|>
Although the events of the Reich Music Days— which spanned more than a week and included performances by the
Berlin Philharmonic and conducting appearances by Richard Strauss as well as concerts at local factories - aimed to
highlight the superior features of German music, even the glib Goebbels was strikingly vague in his keynote speech.
He circuitously suggested that “the nature of music lies in melody” rather than in theoretical constructs; “all music is
not suited to everyone”; music is rooted in the folk, requires empathy rather than reason, deeply affects the spirit of
man, and is the most glorious art of the German heritage; and musicians of the past must be respected. 1 Goebbels
was not alone in his inability to put his finger on what made music German, for the elusiveness of music in general,
and German music in particular, had plagued experts on both musical and political fronts for decades, if not centuries.
2
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,817,795,912]]<|/det|>
But what about the task of defining “un-German” or “anti-German” music? The Degenerate Music exhibit, a focal
point of the Reich Music Days, should have been able to teach Germans how to recognize destructive musical influ-
ences and drive them out of the new state. Instead, it offered only a confusing mixture of all music that was construed
as alienating, overly intellectual, sarcastic, erotic, socialistic, capitalistic or American. Furthermore, its heavy reliance
on the imagery and devices of the art exhibit upon which it was modeled only highlighted the difficulties inherent in
pinning labels on music, and the listening booths for sampling the “witches- sabbath” of cacophony may have been
the most popular feature for those attendees who actually enjoyed listening to the music that was under fire. 3

<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,94,795,175]]<|/det|>
Like Goebbels, Hans Severus Ziegler, the exhibit’s curator, was not a musician, and he clearly felt uncomfortable
delving into musical issues. In the catalogue, he stated outright that he did not intend to “write prescriptions or outline
laws for the new formation of German musical life,” but rather to educate the country’s youth. 4 Ziegler indulges in
polemics against democracy, Bolshevism and Jews but pays more attention to Jewish literary figures than to musicians.
One notable exception was Arnold Schoenberg, who was explicitly attacked as the inventor of atonality and the would-
be underminer of the “German” triad.5
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,184,795,306]]<|/det|>
The fact that the organizers were heavily influenced by the success of the 1937 art exhibit is made even clearer thanks
to the abundance of music-related images similar to those used as examples of degenerate art. The art exhibit had
heightened its attack on modern artworks by arranging them in a crowded and chaotic fashion on walls strewn with
graffiti-like commentary, and the music exhibit was set up in a similar manner. 6 Furthermore, the music exhibit’s
catalogue exploited the shock value of some modern art by linking it to music wherever possible. It featured a sketch
of a stage design for a Schoenberg opera by Oskar Schlemmer, one of the defamed Bauhaus artists; reproduced
caricatures of Jewish musicians that were drawn by Jewish artists;7 and showed two abstract paintings with musical
subjects by the “degenerates” Paul Klee and Carl Hofer, with the inscription, “degenerate art and degenerate music
hand in hand.”8

## The Wonderful Wizard of Oz banned from the nation’s libraries?
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,372,909,522]]<|/det|>
L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz used to be one of the Great American Novels, right up there with
Huckleberry Finn and Moby Dick. Not among the literati, of course, but among nearly everybody else. Indeed it
was clear-eyed librarians in the Thirties, Fifties and Sixties who recognized the novel for what it was, a dangerous
and subversive satire on American imperialism – and they had the Oz books banned from the libraries of America in
the 1930s, and then again from 1957 until the mid-1960s. They were, in the immortal words of one expert, “poorly
written, untrue to life, sensational, foolishly sentimental and consequently unwholesome...” It seems equally likely
that the decapitation of wildcats and the portrayal of witches made the librarians uncomfortable, just as J.K. Rowling’s
Harry Potter series makes some people uncomfortable today. The librarians have come around in their thinking, even
if the literati haven’t. One notable exception was Ray Bradbury who always loved the Oz books and celebrated them
on several occasions. His short story “The Exiles” and his subsequent novel about book-burning, Fahrenheit 451, were
partially inspired by the fate of Baum’s Oz books.

## Little Spokane River Natural Area
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,590,909,657]]<|/det|>
The Little Spokane River Natural Area is a local hotspot for birders and naturalists alike. Situated in the southeastern
corner of the Okanogan ecoregion, just outside Spokane city limits, this protected site offers several miles of undis-
turbed river, six miles of riverside trails, and ancient rock paintings done by Native Americans. Ponderosa pine forest,
with many cliffside snags, and riparian habitat dominate the area and make for good birding year round, but especially
May through September.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,665,909,774]]<|/det|>
The Little Spokane River is an especially important area for riparian breeding species. Birds to be found along the
3.6 mile Painted Rocks trail are: Hooded Merganser, Osprey, Bald Eagle, Northern Pygmy-Owl, Red-naped Sap-
sucker, Downy, Hairy, and Pileated Woodpeckers, Western Wood-Pewee, Willow and Western Flycatchers, Eastern
and Western Kingbirds, Red-eyed, Cassin’s, and Warbling Vireos, a variety of swallow species, Canyon, Rock, Be-
wick’s, House, and Winter (moist thickets in the winter months) Wrens, Veery, and Swainson’s Thrush, a scattering of
warblers including Yellow-breasted Chat and American Redstart, Black-headed Grosbeak, Bullock’s Oriole, Cassin’s
Finch, and Red Crossbill. There is a Great Blue Heron rookery about one mile down the trail. A Tennessee Warbler
was banded along the river in August 2002.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[318,782,909,891]]<|/det|>
To get to the Little Spokane River Natural Area, leave I-90 at Exit # 281 and head north on Division Street (US-2/US-
395) 4.4 miles to the intersection with Francis Avenue (Route 291). Turn left (west) here and in 2.2 miles turn right
onto Indian Trail Road. In 4.8 miles, you will reach Rutter Parkway. Bear right onto Rutter and drive 0.9 miles to
a parking lot on the left called Painted Rocks, just past a bridge over the Little Spokane River. The Painted Rocks
parking lot is controlled by a gate, which is open from 6:30AM to dusk. Parking here costs $5 for the day. The only
restroom in the area is found near the parking lot. A trail on the other side of the Little Spokane River bridge offers
similar bird possibilities. This section of the river is an important area for the Little Spokane’s MAPS (Monitoring
Avian Productivity and Survivorship) bird-banding project.

## Hunting, Fishing, Cars and Travels!
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,119,795,325]]<|/det|>
A lot of people just want to have a sense of happiness. For example, a runner enjoys his running world. He talked
about a wonderful spring morning. He said that he not at all thought that the avenue is so beautiful. The street is so
light and there are no pedestrians at all. The New York Public Library has been cleaned newly. The great cathedral
stands in the morning light looking like a great man in March. This is not only a kind of great and big story, and it is
one of the high tides in his visit as well. He feels physical happy in jogging. A young runner has the same feeling with
the others. She told us that jogging is not dull at all, and it is a kind of easy and funny event. During jogging, we can
imagine that we are in the mountains range, trees and in the brush encirclement canyon. Jogging in the snow weather
is a wonderful thing. You can jog in different fields. There has fresh air and easy traffic. It is impossible to feel bored
in this kind of situation. Jogging in the sunshine is a mysterious thing. While the sun shines forth with all its strength,
you will feel warm and happy. You returned to the normal breathing again, and the whole body has felt comfortable.
That is really a great thing. One day I met a jogger and I made a research about him. I wanted to know if he didn’t start
running. He realized that there was a world-shaking revolution. He made a conclusion about his running life. Due to
jogging, he has a fun and happy life. The first bird in the spring, the singing cardinals in the snow and the fragrance
in the early morning are beautiful and enjoyable. If there is no running sport, he learned much about the life and the
nature.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,333,742,345]]<|/det|>
On account of running, the life has become so rich and varied. Jogging is a good way to obtain nice things.
<|ref|>text<|/ref|><|det|>[[204,353,795,517]]<|/det|>
If we want to run we have to sink in greater things. We know the meaning of jogging in a well-known book. It told
us that the charming of religion and the mass of movements rest with the oblivion skills. During jogging we could
see things in our own view and make a great contribution to the world in our way. Running is a tension movement
in mental aspect. Therefore, we should throw out self-consciousness and pay more attention to running. A famous
mental doctor did a study about the inherently beneficial effects of jogging at the University of Chicago. He made a
conclusion that whenever we participate in such movement, we have a sense of floating. Due to the definition of this
term, it is regarded as the heaven sports. In the running, we effusive submerged in the things we do. People lost his
own sense of himself and time. And running enhances the consciousness of the movements he engaged in. The people
who stay in the floating condition will find some changes in his body and mind. Firstly, the degree of concentration
has increased greatly. And then his reaction ability improved largely. This kind of floating situation is a ordinary thing
in the running experienced. Thus, in running we can find many interesting and magical things. We can make our life
become more good-looking by our own hands.

Librarians fresh out of college, or not so fresh out of college (2008 graduation for me) are learning that the best way
to climb the ropes of the library ladder is to improve technology skills and know-how. As more and more children are
growing up in front of computers and with cell-phones clutched in their palms, librarians need to learn how to promote
literacy through new means. An ebook, is still a book. Whether you are reading from a screen or from a paper page,
you are still reading.

This post is to highlight some of my favorite library websites & blogs that focus on the growing trends in the field,
as well as news from around the nation and around the world. These sites are key in helping bridge the gap between
