text: He's a master at his skill and he is one of the wisest Jedis in the galactic world of Star Wars. Of course I had to go and make a tutorial on "how to draw Yoda easy", step by step. It would be a sin if I didn't make such a lesson. Yoda has been a character that can either be liked or disliked. Although I don't know too many people that dislike Yoda. When I first seen Yoda in Star Wars I was like "what the"? He was this being that wasn't human and he was old, but he still had this amazing power that didn't come from his physical body. Yoda is one of the coolest cats in the Star Wars movies. He is so cool, there is merchandise out there that actually has Yoda quotes printed right on them. Drawing Yoda easy is going to be a fun task because everyone of all ages is familiar with Star Wars no matter which one they recall watching. Heck, they even have 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' as a cartoon series. Well that's about it, have fun and be sure to rate, comment or even fav. Remember, "May the force is with you".

Hi, I'm an audio guy, and am getting into video editing. A friend of mind recently shot some video of me and another friend while we were recording our podcast, and he is going to give me the raw footage on DVD very soon.
I want to replace the audio that the onboard mic captured with the audio I recorded with my good mics, etc.... I'll probably have to resample to 48K from 44.1, but that's nothing.
The question is, how difficult is it to replace the audio that accompanies the video footage, with my audio, and how hard is it to line it up. Can this be done?
Sat, 06/20/2009 - 00:02
You can easily separate out the audio from a video track in Kdenlive. Just right-click on the track and hit 'Split Audio'. The two clips will still be grouped, so you may want to 'ungroup' them. Then you can mute that or turn it's volume down or delete it. Keeping it around rather than deleting it can help you place the replacement audio, especially if the two are the same material, just differently mic'd. Importing the new audio clip should be no problem, then just drag it to an audio track. Syncing the two up is more a matter of how complex and piecemeal the video and audio are. If you just shot one take and also left the audio recorder going, then you probably just have to do it once - you just zoom way in on the timeline and move the audio track back and forth manually and check the sound sync. You can move a track pretty much down to the nth degree.
The more cuts there are in the material, well, you'll have to do this manually for every clip. I've done this with offboard mics and a Zoom audio recorder, and it's not a big deal, again, depending on the number of clips and cuts.
With AVCHD playback being kind of jerky, it can be hard to tell within Kdenlive itself if audio is actually synced. In that case you need to render a short bit and play it in a good media player to check.
Once the two are aligned, you can link the video back to the audio by ctrl selecting both, right click, and hit 'group clips'. You can't re-integrate the audio back onto the video track, but if the tracks are grouped, moving one moves the other.
The biggest problem is editing after the sync - edit the video clip, and the audio track is not effected, even if the two are grouped. You can still edit, it's just a little trickier. In order to edit this easily, it would be nice to be able to truly unite the video and audio back together, and I just don't see that that's possible directly. You could do an intermediate render of the whole thing to lossless codec and then edit that I guess.

I am adding this issue to the to-do for tutorials:
It can be a simple and interesting tutorial.
Fri, 06/26/2009 - 22:34
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that there's a limitation to syncing audio to video (imposed by mlt?):
As far as I know sample accurate aligning of audio to video is not possible:
audio can only be shifted in quanta equal to the video framerate.
Tue, 06/30/2009 - 07:54
True, but how accurate do you think humans are at perceiving a/v sync error? Do you believe most humans can perceive an a/v sync error less than 40ms PAL or 33ms NTSC? Maybe you can add a SoX or LADSPA delay filter through a kdenlive effects XML file to address sub-frame accuracy. It would be great if you can experiment with that and contribute an effect XML that works for you.
Tue, 06/30/2009 - 08:21
In fact, on average the error is 1/2 the framelength, that is, 20 ms pal, 17 ms. NTSC.
I do believe though that *some* people would be able to tell the lag/difference (I used to play video games quite a lot, thank-you :-), but delaying would be interessting to experiment with.
Tue, 06/30/2009 - 23:22
Syncing is not the only issue:
The main problem would be if you try to cut out small parts of audio in the middle and paste both remaining parts back together: because it cannot be done in a sample-accurate way (e.g. at a zero transition), you are left with audible artifacts at the places where you cut.
Fri, 07/03/2009 - 02:56
Very good point, Stefan. Audio editing to the precision of a sample is not something we can offer in kdenlive anytime soon. It might easier and better to offer Jack integration including transport sync.

I want to replace web.config with transformed for debug config file when running in Visual Studio( I am NOT interesting in publishing project to some output directory). I want to keep original web.config in the root of web application in TFS, but on runtime (on IIS or Cassini) I want to use transformed debug version.
The best approach that I found so far (in Use Visual Studio web.config transform for debugging and ASP.NET Web Projects: web.debug.config & web.release.config ) is to use web.template.config as a master file, and web.config as derived transformed file. I am not fully happy with it, because developers use to consider web.config as a master file.
I have an idea to output transformed file to ASP.Net temporary files directory, that ASP.NET used for cached files.
Does ASP.NET use web.config file from temporary cache folfder? Will ASP.NET allow to have web.config file in cache directory different to web.config in original folder?
I found a couple properties, related to ASP.Net temporary files directory. MSBuild tempDirectory property of the CompilationSection can be used to replace root folder of ASP.Net temporary files. ClientBuildManager.CodeGenDir Property gives access to specific folder where current cache is located.
However I could not find, how to access path of the folder from MSBuild and will it allow me to output transformed web.config to cached folder.
Any suggestions/considerations will be appreciated.

Trying to come up with some positive ideas about the 2015 Red Sox is sketchy exercise.
It's nice to think that David Ortiz and Yoenis Cespedes could combine for 60 homers and 185 RBI, with good health. If Rusney Castillo is the real deal, maybe he's worth 20 dingers. That's 80 just from those three.
Let that sink in a moment because most of the other stuff creates a troubled mind. We can start with the pitching. All the home runs the Red Sox might hit won't be enough. You can only ask your hitters to win so many 9-8 games.
Clearly getting a top shelf starter or two will be man's work for Ben Cherington in the offseason.
ight now, Clay Buchholz and Joe Kelly, or is it the other way around, are the Sox' top of the rotation guys. Other pitchers will be auditioning until the end of the season to see if they fit in the 2015 rotation plans. None of them have stood out yet. All of them – Alex Wilson, Rubby De La Rosa, Allen Webster, Anthony Ranaudo, Brandon Workman – have looked like fourth or fifth starters, with De La Rosa maybe a three if he can reduce his walks.
Maybe the No. 1 and 2 guys in the rotation will be Jon Lester and James Shields. But it's more likely they'll return to Fenway in Oakland and Kansas City uniforms, respectively.
The Red Sox found gold in Koji Uehara and Junichi Tazawa last season. The last five weeks or so, the great closer and setup man have stumbled into their mortality. Those are important positions for any team serious about making the postseason.
Neither pitcher is claiming fatigue. Tazawa worked 68 1/3 innings last season (71 appearances). So far he's made 63 appearances and pitched 56 innings. Uehara pitched 74 1/3 innings in '13; he's thrown 60 so far. Both have lost something. Temporary or irreversible?
It's something Cherington will have to deal with in the offseason. Both Uehara and Tazawa could be gone, or back. There's still a month left for them to show their slippage is just temporary inconvenience.
The Red Sox look like they have a keeper of a catcher. Christian Vazquez has arrived as advertised as a defensive catcher. Pitchers are going to love the way he handles balls off the plate and in the dirt. He's got a terrific arm and loves to zip pickoff attempts around, so there's no daydreamin' time for the infielders.
We've discussed shortstop and third base the entire season. It hasn't been happy talk. The hope was that Xander Bogaerts would take the shortstop job and own it. Instead, he's become enslaved by it. This just hasn't worked out. Want to grade him, go ahead: fielding, C; batting, D. It will be a very critical spring training for Bogaerts.
Page 2 of 2 - And no less so for Will Middlebrooks who could be a small bauble in any trade Cherington makes. Middlebrooks, Bogaerts and the late, not so-great Jackie Bradley Jr. put up one rough, unskilled strikeout after another.
While they continue to struggle, Bradley Jr. with more strikeouts at Pawtucket, Bogaerts with a concussion, Middlbrooks keeps spinning his wheels. He struck out eight times in 13 at bats in the Toronto series. At .188, he's looking up at the Mendoza Line.
Middlebrooks wants to be the regular third baseman, Bogaerts the everyday shortstop. Brock Holt wants to play anywhere. Can Holt play 140-145 games at either of those positions, or will he be a chip of some value in a trade?
The case of Shane Victorino may get sensitive. He's signed through 2015. Injuries stole his season. He'll be 34 next season. Mookie Betts will be 23. Just something for Victorino to think about.
And Allen Craig makes two. Red Sox fans are seeing the broken-down Craig as opposed to the Craig Cardinals fans loved when he hit 22 homers with 92 RBI and had a .307 average in 2012, and drove in 97 runs in 2013.
If at some point in spring training, with Craig in the batting cage, someone shouts out "That's the Craig we saw in St. Louis!" the Red Sox will have to find a place for him, either in right field or first base. The guess here is that there will be no tears shed if management shows Mike Napoli the door.
So many changes have to happen when a team finishes last. The Red Sox have already changed some of the faces, but guessing what this team will look like in 2015 is a picture yet unpainted. We'll have a better grasp of it later.

Intel® Virtualization Technology in Converged App Platforms
The advent of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has bridged the thin gap separating data networks and voice networks. Over the years, the high-speed, last mile services have broadened their reach in tandem with wireless technology, such as 3G and Wi-Fi, and end users are beginning to experience richer multimedia services in which video, voice, and data are integrated and delivered over the Internet. As broadband penetration continues, the trend towards converged networks gains traction in the marketplace.
This document illustrates how Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) can enhance converged application platforms (CAP) by creating a secure, reliable, and consolidated environment to host voice, data, and video services, all in a single multi-function device.

Windows Azure Lessons Learned: CCH

Right click "Save as…"
In this episode of Lessons Learned we talk with Jones Pavan and Gurleen Randhawa of CCH about tax and accounting! No wait stick around, that stuff can be exciting too. Yes, really!
The good folks at CCH (a Wolters Kluwer company) have built an interesting service on Windows Azure. The solution we discuss here is a sales tax calculation service which they offer to other accounting firms. This is an existing on-premises product that they are now moving to the cloud.
The existing product was a stateless web service that was designed to live behind the firewall. The service is meant to be called directly via a plug-in in an accounting firms ERP system (for example, Dynamics AX). To move that to the cloud CCH wrapped the web services in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).
They had been using another third party RAD development tool called CA Plex. The Plex runtime was added to the project and copied out to the cloud. One of the things they quickly learned is that the nature of the cloud app is to be stateless and that required special consideration when moving on-premises apps (for example the Plex tool was caching db connections behind the scenes).
Anther important consideration was security. They were not ready to move to ACS so for the initial release they used X.509 certs, ADFS and message-based security to establish trust relationships with the server.
BTW, the Windows Azure marketing folks have already published a case study on the CCH solution (available here).
Oops, something didn't work.

I saw a video of Cesar Vidal and he said, that probably, Jesus was a middle-high class in economic sense, during the period of life before public ministry. I need historical references.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
In order to address this question I have a few initial notes:
Before he started his wandering ministry, Jesus was a carpenter, meaning that he was of the small artisan class. Artisans were one of the only small social classes that had more economic means than the common class (the plebs) but were not in the highest social strata. So we can say Jesus came from a family with some, but small economic means. When he became a itinerant Rabbi, he relied on the charity of others (as was common for itinerant Rabbis) but he had the social clout of being a Rabbi.
In sum, the answer is complicated.
(Most of this info came from my college course on Wealth and Poverty in Christian History and from The Good of Affluence by John Schneider Chapter 5, near pages 123).
While this topic is heavily debated, Scripture records an interesting detail in Luke 2. When presented at the table, Joseph and Mary bring the appointed sacrifice:
In Leviticus 14:21, we understand this was the sacrifice of the poor:
This, along with the fact that Nazareth was teeny, tiny village outside of Sepphoris together draws a picture of a poor family.
Now, others have taken the gifts of the wise men in Matthew to suggest that Joseph and Mary eventually came into some money. (Who knows, maybe Joseph pulled a Gary Coleman on Jesus and sold the stuff for himself!)
In any event, by the time of Jesus' ministry, it is pretty apparent that he is poor. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to square a "better off" Jesus with Matthew 8:20:
And, considering Jesus' "preference for the poor" in Luke, it all comes together to suggest a less than rich Jesus.
Regardless, these Scriptural clues have made the traditional argument to be that Jesus was poor, although some modern theologians have constructed cases for a richer Jesus.
In addition to the answers already provided, I would like to draw your attention to a passage from Luke 8:1-3:
That Jesus and His disciples had to rely on the donations of women (many of whom did not have their own source of income and so could not have given much), implies that they were far from wealthy.
Jesus did have some money, though He held it in common with the 12 disciples. But the Bible gives a strong hint that it wasn't much: when He sent the 12 out, He told them not to take a collection bag or even any money!
Dr. Adam Bradford wrote a book called 'The Jesus Discovery', in which he argues that Jesus was probably a (former) member of the religious elite who turned against them. This is evidenced by their behavior toward him, and and surprising respect they showed him (at least in public). He also makes the argument that the tradition that Joesph was a carpenter comes from a mistranslated Greek word, and that he was probably more akin to a modern day architect than a wood worker, and therefore would have had the means to send his son on to a high level of education.
Here is a debate on a UK radio program, between the author and new testament scholar, David Instone-Brewer, about this theory.
Paul describes himself as an imitator of Christ and as an 'architekton' (1 Cor 3:10) - a master tekton. Slater's lexicon translates tekton as architect. Priests trained as tektons to build the temple of Herod (Josephus' Antiquities). It would have taken devout Jewish tektons to train priests. I.e. like Joseph (Matt 1:19).
Jesus went to the Temple when lost (Luke 2). Presumably because he was known there + so would get looked after until Mary + Joseph caught up with him. He is admitted there as a 12 year old into the company of the Doctors of Law (Luke 2), presumably because they knew Joseph.
The offering for the poor was not means-tested. Any Jew, however rich, could make it, e.g. if they were at odds with the Sadduccee's corruption.
In any event Joseph received the Magis gifts after that. These were rich Babylonians making kingly gifts because they considered Jesus to be a king. There were enough of them to 'disturb Herod and all of Jerusalem' (Matt 2:3). They opened treasure-chests (plural) of the 3 most expensive items of the day. Much more wealth than needed for 2 years in Egypt.
Jesus had a house in Capernaum (Mark 2:1). He had 'nowhere to lay his head' because he spent so much time travelling and ministering.
Judas could steal from their money-box without it being immediately obvious (John 12:6).
I recommend Bradford's The Jesus Discovery.

Funded MRP/Thesis Opportunities for Incoming and Future MA Students
Each year I have funding available to support incoming MA students who are willing and interested in writing a MRP or thesis on a topic that aligns with my current research agenda.
In 2011-2012, MA student Megan Gayda wrote an MRP on the intergovernmental relationship between Serpent River First Nation and the city of Elliott Lake, in Northern Ontario. This year, Erin Estok is writing an MRP on Aboriginal self-government and education policy in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, Northwest Territories. Both students received research support from me to conduct their fieldwork.
Below is a list of current opportunities for incoming and future MA Students in the Canadian Political Studies Stream:
1) I am currently looking for an incoming MA student that is interested in writing a MRP or Thesis on Aboriginal self-government in the Northwest Territories. In particular, I am willing to provide up to approximately $5000 in RA and field work support to a MA student who wants to write a MRP or thesis on the Inuvialuit Settlement Region and the governance structures that are emerging there. Interested students should contact me asap with a letter expressing their interest and qualifications.
2) I am also interested in supporting and supervising incoming MA students that want to write a MRP or Thesis on any aspect of the intergovernmental relationship emerging between Aboriginal and local/regional governments in Canada and in other settler countries. Interested students should contact me asap with a letter expressing their interest and qualifications.
Students interested in writing an MRP under my supervision should download the following file, which contains expected outline and structure of your MRP (PDF). You should also download my MRP proposal template here (MS-Word File).
As well, I always have a number of research projects "in the bank" that would also make for excellent MRPs so I encourage you to approach me as soon as possible if you are interested in working with me.

'There's nothing like family'
In celebration of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday and Black History Month, I have been writing a series focusing on the correlation between the injustices of discrimination and segregation brought to light by the civil-rights movement and similar injustices experienced by the Medicaid population. I interrupt that series today to remember a beloved aunt who passed away recently, and to honor her family.
Family First! For most, it's not a new concept, but as a younger man, I admit ignorance. I was first introduced to the idea of "family first" by my cousin Jean. I was canvassing her neighborhood seeking elected office more than 30 years ago. When I stopped at her home, she invited me for coffee and what became my first "grown-up" discussion with an extended family member.

Chicago, Boston Face Off After Defying the Odds
When the Stanley Cup finals begin tonight, they'll feature a historical flavor that the NHL hasn't seen in its championship round in a generation. The Chicago Blackhawks will host the Boston Bruins, marking the first time since 1979 that two of the league's "Original Six"—the franchises who made up the entire league before it expanded in 1967—have met in the Finals.
Stanley Cup Finals
Game 1 Wed. 8 p.m. ET, NBC
Each had a long way to go to get here. The Blackhawks had the league's best record (77 points) during the 48-game lockout-shortened regular season, but trailed Detroit 3-1 in the second round before winning three straight to advance. Led by forwards Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa—each has 14 points this postseason—Chicago then eliminated Los Angeles in five games in the Western finals.
The Bruins' run was even harder, given what they had to overcome in Game 7 of their first-round series against Toronto. Trailing 4-1, Boston scored three times in the last 11 minutes of regulation, then won in overtime. The Bruins had an easier time in their next two rounds, taking care of the New York Rangers in five games and sweeping East No. 1 Pittsburgh.
Center David Krejci leads all NHL players in goals (9) and points (21) in these playoffs, but goaltender Tuukka Rask has been a revelation. The successor to Tim Thomas, who carried the Bruins to their 2011 Cup victory, Rask leads all goalies in saves (497) and save percentage (.942), and against the Penguins, who led the league in scoring, he gave up two goals in the series.

The Big Drop
After numerous months of uncertainty and growing fears related to financial contagion, the euro zone is teetering . . . and no one knows exactly what to expect next. Experts from Columbia Law School's new Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership examine how we got into this mess and what additional euro zone problems might portend for the global financial system.
When asked about the continuing euro zone problems, Professor Katharina Pistor notes that, most of the time, she thinks Europe will muddle through its financial crisis, and that spillover damage to the rest of the world will be minimal.
But, Pistor confides, she cannot seem to shake the fear that things could get very much worse. Troubles have moved from small, peripheral nations, like Greece and Ireland, to Spain, a core member of the 17-nation, single-currency euro zone. What economists refer to as a "doom loop" of interdependence has developed, in which Spain's weak banks drag down the sovereign government, and losses on sovereign bonds, in turn, further weaken the banks.
It is hard not to wonder about an end point—even if the resulting images may not be pleasant.
"If Spain blows up, and then the pressure goes against Italy, or maybe even pushes France, then the idea that Germany could rescue the sinking boat becomes hard," says Pistor, the Michael I. Sovern Professor of Law and the director of Columbia Law School's Center on Global Legal Transformation. "Hell could break loose."
As similarly dire worst-case scenario hypotheticals become more prevalent, Columbia Law School scholars continue to focus on the potential for financial contagion from Europe. Over the summer, Jeffrey N. Gordon, Columbia Law School's Richard Paul Richman Professor of Law, and Professor Robert J. Jackson Jr. were named co-directors of the Law School's new Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership. Grappling with the crisis in Europe is one of the center's first missions: "Interdependence in the Global Economy" is one of its two founding projects.
Gordon notes that U.S. banks such as JPMorgan Chase have attempted to reduce their exposure to Europe's most troubled nations, as have U.S.-based money market mutual funds. But because exposures still are not fully understood, fears that big U.S. banks are vulnerable to losses at European counter-parties could cause a generalized pullback in interbank lending, with disastrous consequences, says Gordon. That is essentially what happened four years ago when Lehman Brothers collapsed and the Federal Reserve had to step in as the go-between for banks that were suddenly afraid to deal with one another directly. "The vectors of financial distress and contagion are clearer in the aftermath than in anticipation," he says. "There's a lot of reason for concern."
This past autumn, Gordon and Professor Ronald J. Gilson were busy preparing for a December conference in Brussels on how to stabilize Europe by creating a banking union, with a single regulator and rules for how a bank that gets in trouble will be repaired by the entire euro zone, not just one country. The Europeans could learn something from the U.S., Gordon says: When Bank of America was weakened during the 2008 financial crisis, it was supported by federal authorities, not just regulators in its home state of North Carolina. "Europe's balkanized system has created enormous instability," he adds.
In mid-September, as fall classes began, it was looking like Europe had begun to get a handle on its troubles. The European Central Bank had just strengthened its promise to buy bonds of countries that stuck to their reform commitments, and the red-robed justices of the German Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe rejected a challenge to the euro zone's permanent rescue fund, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). But with Spain's debt crisis festering, and Germany, Finland, and the Netherands arguing that the new ESM be used to clean up only future banking problems, not past messes, no one is resting easy. Least of all Ira M. Millstein '49, a longtime supporter of Columbia Law School and senior partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges in New York City.
Millstein, who will serve as chairman of the new Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership, made his name in the antitrust field, while developing advanced expertise in corporate structure and accountability issues. He eventually devoted his career to pro bono work in the field, becoming chairman of a business sector advisory group of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and active in a World Bank Global Corporate Governance Forum. He traveled to Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan, China, and Russia, among other countries, for the cause. "It's my life," he says, "and it's what I like to do." In the 1980s, he co-founded the Institutional Investor Project at Columbia Law School, which focused on enforcing shareholder rights, and upon whose work the new center's mission is partly based.
Millstein views financial crises through the prism of governance, which is why he thinks the new Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership is well-placed to investigate financial contagion as applied to the euro zone situation.
"Is it important to us that the Europeans straighten out?" asks Millstein. "Absolutely. If you scratch every one of our big banks, you're going to find major holdings all over Europe. If Spain goes down, is that going to have a wild impact on the United States? Of course it is."
So how did we get into such a mess, anyway? During the boom times, global financial integration was mostly regarded as a good thing. Savers had more options for places to put their money, while companies and households had deeper pools of cash to draw on for investments in housing, factories, and business equipment. The tightest integration occurred between the nations of the single-currency euro zone. Interest rates converged. The Greek government could get 10-year loans almost as cheaply as Germany could, and Greece's mostly successful management of the 2004 Summer Olympics was viewed as its debut into the society of stable, advanced economies. Quietly, though, the Greek economy was becoming uncompetitive because of government overspending and pay raises that outpaced productivity gains. Integration, in short, enabled Greece to get in over its head, says Jeffrey Gordon.
Now the downside has become apparent. Banks in Germany and France are trying to unload loans they made to the nations of the southern tier. Greece, Ireland, and Portugal lost access to the private credit markets, and Spain is in danger of losing access as well, meaning it would be able to borrow only from official sources like the European Central Bank, the European Union, and the International Monetary Fund. Depositors in Spanish banks are pulling their money out, in part because they fear their euros will be forcibly converted to less-valuable new pesetas, says Merritt B. Fox, the Michael E. Patterson Professor of Law and NASDAQ Professor for Law and Economics of Capital Markets. "The fear," says Fox, "would be, even if you think there's only a 5 percent chance that your country's going to pull out of the euro, you're going to take [your euros] out of the local bank and put them in a country that's not going to pull out."
By now, European regulators should have developed a clear understanding of the potential exposure of each major bank to losses at other banks. Apparently, though, that has not happened. This past summer, the European Central Bank's Financial Stability Review resorted to a simulation to study the contagion problem. "Only minimal information on financial institutions' interlinkages is in the public domain," the bank wrote.
To Katharina Pistor, that reality is unacceptable. "I found this shocking," Pistor wrote in a blog post on the Institute for New Economic Thinking website at the time. "Shouldn't supervisors and regulators know more about the legal structure of these inter-bank relations? And how would an integrated European supervisor monitor euro zone banks without a clearer picture of their structure than a probability chart based on proxy data can possibly render?"
Perhaps even more disconcerting, the links from Europe to the rest of the world are not just through ordinary bank lending. There is a huge shadow financial system, as well. Banks raise money to finance their operations by issuing commercial paper, which is essentially short-term borrowing in the capital market. American money market mutual funds own a lot of that commercial paper—or did before the warning lights began to flash. Repo lending is another pathway. It is a form of securitized borrowing in which banks "sell" high-quality securities like government bonds and agree to buy them back in the future at a slightly higher price. The transaction is the equivalent of paying interest on a loan. Columbia Law School professors, including Gordon, are studying how there can be a "run" on the shadow banking system—say, when mutual funds refuse to roll over their maturing commercial paper, or lenders start questioning the value of collateral posted for repo loans and demand bigger discounts.
The invention of deposit insurance has largely done away with conventional bank runs by taking away the incentive for depositors to be the first ones to withdraw their money from a troubled bank. But there is no such reassurance for lenders in the shadow banking system.
For international authorities, the nightmare scenario is a cross-border repeat of the failure of Lehman Brothers in 2008. The fourth-biggest securities firm in the U.S. had its AAA credit rating reaffirmed by Standard & Poor's on Friday, September 12, 2008. Invisibly to credit raters, though, Lehman was already experiencing a run. By the end of that weekend, its situation was so hopeless that it filed the biggest bankruptcy petition in U.S. history at 1:45 a.m. on Monday, September 15. That event, more than any other, was responsible for touching off the financial panic that resulted, in 2009, in the first worldwide decline in economic output since the Great Depression.
It could happen again, this time with Europe as the epicenter.
"Nobody really understands the interconnections in the world financial system," says Jeffrey Gordon. "Nobody. So there's a great deal of caution about the unknown unknowns. It's not just the damage from Europe, it's the uncertainty about the extent of the contagion that has made parties conservative. We don't know what would happen to U.S. financial institutions if Greece were kicked out of the euro. Some have said it would be a Lehman event. No one is really eager to run the experiment."
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act represents an attempt, however imperfect, to prevent contagion within one country. What is sorely lacking is an equivalent for the world as a whole.
This past spring, the Richard Paul Richman Center for Business, Law, and Public Policy presented a daylong, invitation-only conference called "Financial Risk and Regulation: Unfinished Business," which was co-organized by Ira Millstein and Charles Calomiris, who is the Henry Kaufman Professor of Financial Institutions at Columbia Business School. Harvey R. Miller '59, the attorney and bankruptcy expert who is also a lecturer-in-law at Columbia Law School and a partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, served as one of the featured speakers at the event.
During his presentation, Miller worried that the global framework for saving or shutting down big financial institutions lacks an adequate dispute-resolution mechanism. In his prepared remarks, he noted that "there is no reason to think that the next 'Lehman'—and the disputes that arise from it—will not be significantly larger and more complicated" than the original Lehman scenario. "If there is any 'unfinished business' in the current framework," he added, "it is the development of a flexible, cross-border dispute resolution mechanism that will adequately contain the conflicts that are likely to arise during the next crisis."
There is a well-known saying on Wall Street that you can borrow as much money as you want, just as long as you don't need it. Financial crises tend to break out when organizations that counted on being able to borrow freely are suddenly cut off by the capital markets. For participants in the new "Interdependence in the Global Economy" project of the Ira M. Millstein Center for Global Markets and Corporate Ownership, the challenge is to help formulate robust institutions and regulations that are resistant to global contagion.
"There are many terrific things about creating a global economy with global opportunity, but there are risks that arise as well," says Gordon. "We need to be thinking very hard about new institutions that can understand the risks and respond to them. Isolation is one way to avoid the spread of disease, but that's highly costly. We really ought to be able to do better than that."

I received a message with some photos from a woman who was experiencing some concern about the placement of her triangle piercing.
I've only had the triangle piercing since Wednesday. I got my vertical hood piercing in 2005. My issue is that my triangle appears to be crooked and is not lying flat and it is interfering with my previous piercing. My piercer removed my VCH before piercing my triangle. I don't get shooting pains down my leg but I do not find the piercing aesthetically pleasing. I hope the pics come out clear enough for you to see. Please help me, and hopefully if you agree with me, then I can get pierced by you when you come to Dallas in March. I live only an hour and some change driving distance from Dallas. I did thorough research on my piercer before I had the procedure and I don't think he nicked my clitoris bundle but there was a lot of drama with removing my VCH jewelry which could have thrown the piercing positioning off. Please help me.
My reply:
The easiest, safest, most effective piercing care product ever!

Some monocots (such as palms) are impressively thick and massive, yet botanists maintain that they don't have secondary growth. Why do botanists say this? How can it get so big without secondary growth?
The vascular system is different in monocots and dicots. In dicots the vascular tissues are arranged in concentric circles; one of these rings is meristematic cells (undifferentiated cells that can differentiate into any cell type). This ring of meristem tissue is called the vascular cambium and is where secondary growth occurs - xylem grows inwards and phloem grows outwards.
For palms specifically:
Parenchyma cells are type of cells found in plant ground tissue, which makes up the bulk of plant mass.

Linux System Administration class
From Noisebridge
System administration topics include
- managing users, groups, and permissions
- monitoring and managing storage and file systems
- understanding the Filesystem Hierarchical Standard
- monitoring and managing processes
- installing and configuring server software
- configuring and updating XOrg X11 GUI systems
- installing and configuring devices, firmware, and modules
- kernel tuning
- network configuration
- writing shell scripts
- command-line essentials
The principles are the same across Linux distributions, but some distributions share common configuration approaches. The examples in these classes will generally reference both the Debian and the Red Hat approaches.
Most of the above topics require a sequence of two or more classes for completion. Such class sequences are progressive, and success requires attendance for all classes in the sequence.
Each topic stands alone; there are no dependencies among them. The assumption is that attendees are at least familiar with command-line shells.
Because command-line skills are generally required, the command-line essentials class (a one-class introduction) will be repeated.

When the city donated the Hinkle House, one of the oldest houses in Dodge City, to Interfaith Housing in December, it was with the understanding that they would renovate the house, and rent it out. The renovation project is set to begin in just over a week.
Interfaith Housing will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:30 a.m. Jan. 11 at 801 First Street to celebrate the start of the renovation. The community is invited to attend.
The goal of the project is to make the house livable once again, while still keeping it's historical aspects as intact as possible.
"We haven't finished developing our plans yet," said John Scott, president and CEO of Interfaith Housing. "But, right now, it looks like we'll have to strip the interior down to the bare studs, and rebuild the plumbing, electrical, heating, air and everything. On the outside, we'll try to keep it as close to period as possible."
Scott admitted keeping the house in it's original style is going to be a challenge, but is confident it's nothing they can't handle.
Part of the house has a flat roof, and Scott said fixing it could be hard. Also, he wants to raise the roof slightly but knows the task will be difficult.
Once the renovations are completed, the house will be available to rent.
A historical marker will also be placed outside Hinkle House to inform visitors about the history of the location. It will also remain on the walking tour of Dodge City.
"There's a lot of small things that are going to pop up along the way," Scott said, "but we'll just face it as it come up."
Scott wasn't sure when the house will be completed and ready to live in because renovations will be done by volunteers and paid for with donated funds.
"It's hard to put a deadline on a project like this when you're depending on volunteers," Scott said, "but I'm hoping possibly to finish within six months."
In fact, Interfaith Housing is still looking for volunteers to help with the renovation. Interested individuals should call (620) 371-6524.
"We're really excited about getting started on this project," Scott said. "This is the first house we've fixed up in Dodge City, but if you know of any others that could be fixed up and put back into use, don't hesitate to contact us. This is a great donation to make to the community."

Diane says: "It had been a perfect afternoon for windsurfers. Their sails tend to look like butterfly wings silhouetted on the water at this time of day.
"The shot was taken at 20h00, just as the sun appears to be melting into the horizon."
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

HI NIck,
now i have nn3 olympus e1 and 8 mm fish eye lens. I would like to upgrade panorama head soon.
So between R1 and NN5, which one you recommend.
Could you please explain some detail for me.
HI NIck,
now i have nn3 olympus e1 and 8 mm fish eye lens. I would like to upgrade panorama head soon.
So between R1 and NN5, which one you recommend.
Could you please explain some detail for me.
How does R1 work for interiors with Sigma 8mm and Canon D450?
I would like to make real estate panoramas and as far as I know R1 is easier to work with than NN3. The idea that I have is taking a series of 4 pictures (with tilted camera) to cover zenith and put logo or picture on nadir.
Great! I was hoping to hear that
Thanks so much for your quick answer
HI Nick,
Can you explain more information about R1?
Why is great for outdoor?
Easy to use? Faster? or smthing eles?
And with my olympus e1 and 8 mm fisheye lens, i don't think 4 pictures will cover 360 degree. And how to shoot nadir and zenith.
Thanks again,
with E1 and 8mm fisheye, you need to take 6 shots around, + nadir and zenith shot. Since the zenith is just the sky, NPP is not important for it. You can take zenith and nadir shots (off-set from NPP) on the bracket.
We listen. We try harder.
Sorry if the question is too basic. I am just starting to learn before my equipment arrives.
With 8mm + 450D. Can I avoid taking the zenith by tilting the camera? Does this apply to exteriors and interiors as well?
If I take a picture off-set from NPP on bracket (specially interiors and exteriors with nearby objects). Is there a special technique to stitch it consistently with the rest of the set?
You can take the nadir shots on the bracket. Viewpoint correction may be needed.
Here are some good tutorials to start with.
Especially the viewpoint correction in ptgui.
We listen. We try harder.
Hi Nick,
HOw about my set up? Olympus e 3 and e 1 with 8 mm fisheye lens.
If i use R1 ,how many shot do i have to take for 360 degree and do i have to take a zenith and nadir separately?
I'm looking to do with pole panorama.
Thanks again
We listen. We try harder.
OK Nick,
NN5 and R1
Which one you highly recommend?
If you have to pick one, which one is in you mind?
I would love to have both ,but now budget is not enough for two of them.
yes i got message.
i may be wait a bit

If a question has been tagged with sqlserver-2008, should it also be tagged with sqlserver?
If a question has been tagged with sqlserver and references a feature only present in SQL Server 2008, should it also be tagged with sqlserver-2008?
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Generally if I have an SQL Sever question, I will only tag it with the specific year if it is an absolute requirement and generally I will include both "sql-server" and "sql-server-[year]".
It is also possible that users can set up an interesting tag for "sql-server~" that will allow for them to see any tag that starts with "sql-server".
Like many other users, I watch lots of different tags; sqlserver, sql-server, ms-sql, etc. This isn't a good solution, but is a result of letting users create their own tags, and isn't really that much overhead.
On the other hand, when asking questions, I'd stick to one tag rather than using multiple (redundant) tags: sqlserver if the question is common to many versions, or sqlserver-2008 if it references some feature specific to that version.
This saves polluting the tag-space, frees up some tags for moderators and future editors, and avoids annoying people who have no interest in SQL Server 2005 if that's what my question relates to :)
I would tag it sql-server for sure. This is on my favourite tag list. sql-server-2008 is not on that list. I do not want to put every version there.
Until we had the search functionality using ~ as a wildcard (server side * that is, such that [sql-server~] finds all tags including the year, see here), I would have voted to use both the generic and the specific tag.
But now, I can use [sql-server*] on my preferred tags and [sql-server~] when searching for questions I would like to offer answers to. So I now adopt using the generic tag unless the question is version specific.
I was originally going to post that I liked having multiple tags such as sql-server and sql-server-2008 because I then have the flexibility to search all sql server questions OR sql server 2008 questions.
Then I discovered that you could put a "~" in the URL for a wild card and I changed my mind. Now I think you should just put in the sql-server-2008 and let me put in the "~" on my own.
Just my 2 cents :)

The 7 Most Unintentionally Creepy Places on the Internet
#3. Louisville Free Face
With all the Craigslist posters asking for someone to fart in their hair while they jerk off in an astronaut suit, the simple perversions often get overlooked. Like the man behind Louisville Free Face, who doesn't want anything super-freaky at all, save to go yodeling in some lady's valley. In fact, he loves taking the V-train downtown so much that he decided to set up a website informing all the ladies in the Louisville, Ky., area. Here's some info from his "about me" page.
Notice anything unusual?
Hint: It's not his age.
But hell, if that's perversion, then a lot of 14-year-old Twilight fans need to start registering with the state. Dude loves head; that's his bag. Big deal. Then you get to the "terms and restrictions," "privacy," and "application" pages.
That's right, you have to apply to let the hillbilly vampire put his tongue inside your genitals. That implies there's so much demand that he's rejecting applicants, which in turn implies that he may be completely delusional. And when you take some aspects of the application into account, like the question, "Do you like any of these other things used on you or done while you are receiving oral?" which has multiple-choice answers including "pop rocks," "ice cubes" and "electricity" -- you can safely figure that either the Vampire Lord of Kentucky Oral is quite insane, or else he learned about the birds and the bees from Jack Bauer.
Oh, and hey, if you're a satisfied customer, he'd appreciate it if you tell your friends and maybe give him a quote to put on the site. You know, in case you have some extra dignity you need to burn off. (We're not going to link off to "God's" page here, simply because we don't want the FBI investigating our entire readership. If you're desperate enough to catch Internet Herpes, you're more than welcome to Google "Louisville Free Face.")
#2. Humanbeing151/insomniac
Humanbeing151, who goes by the name "Insomniac," has a desire to meet P. Diddy that is so intense it can only be quantified as "Lovecraftian." His YouTube profile says that he has "150,000 written songs," and while he has nearly 1,300 videos, only one of them has any music. Or sanity.
There's only one message in all of these videos: Diddy needs to check his MySpace inbox because he's been sent an "important message." Various titles for these plaintive clips include "Diddy Dear Mr Diddy please read this," "Diddy TV official," and "Diddy Diddy diddy diddy diddy DIDDY P diddy Puff Diddy diddy twitter." While most desperate YouTube stars throw "BOOBS TITS HALO" into the video tags when they want people to find their videos, Insomniac takes the less-subtle approach and puts these things straight in the title. Presumably in the hopes that Diddy, while incessantly Googling himself one day, will stumble across "P.Diddy dirty money angels diddy angels Diddy dirty money angels angels dirty money," and click on it, wondering how he forgot that time he starred in an anal-centric porno.
If you follow the video feed chronologically, you can see the downward spiral of a man that starts at "complete insanity" and somehow goes downhill from there. As evidenced by some of his more recent videos, which have titles like "i will pay $5000 to see Diddy," featuring a background image of a man on all fours, utterly crushed with despair. So what's this all-consuming important message for Diddy? We don't know; he won't say. We can only assume it has something to do with this:
A room in Insomniac's home is filled with what appears to be thousands upon thousands of notebooks. What could they be? Songbooks? An epic poem detailing the importance of sub-standard sample-based hip hop? A new Bible with every single name replaced by "Diddy"? Eventually, Insomniac pulls one out and flips though it, where we can see that every single page is filled with the words "Dear Mr. P Diddy please accept" or "Brother Diddy please accept."
Insomniac's dream is so desperate and heart-wrenching, we can't help but root for him a little bit and hope that he finally gets his wish to meet Diddy in person. Besides, Diddy's one of the richest entertainers in the world; after Insomniac's done sewing his Brother Diddy Suit, Mr. Combs could almost certainly afford some new skin.
#1. "Kerry's TV, Mask & Lycra Page"
If you've ever spent more than an hour searching for porn, you've probably stumbled upon a tranny site, and while Eddie Izzard and 80s glam metal have taught us understanding and shown us that dressing up like a chick doesn't have to be wrong or pornographic, "Kerry" is here to teach us that transvestites can be objectively terrifying even without the surprise wang reveal.
Kerry is a straight, married, male cross-dresser whose interests include "movies, British media, science fiction, computers" and "growing ever more powerful as he feeds off of your fear." We understand that he's trying to look more like a woman and that not everyone is capable of doing so with just some eye shadow and lipstick, but his mask barely resembles a human being in the first place, and that human being happens to be Michael Myers in the second.
Or what looks like a very racist interpretation of Oprah:
Actually, that wasn't totally accurate: Kerry doesn't always wear a mask ... sometimes he wears a full-on bodysuit (NSFW):
He's like Buffalo Bill, but without the pit and the murder ... as far as we know.
Kerry also enjoys cosplaying.
She dresses up as The Avengers' Emma Peel:
And Batgirl:
And she even takes videos:
Videos that unhinge you from reality and send you hurtling off on a one-way trip into the black abyss of insanity. And hey, what trip is complete without souvenirs!? Buy some Kerry masks of your own on his site! For the kids!
Nick also writes an awesome Kingdom Hearts parody and is working on the sequel. Derek James doesn't even need to whore himself; he is just content to be.

Bennington College
Office of Communications
One College Drive
Bennington, VT 05201-6003
Former President William J. Clinton invited Bennington's President Elizabeth Coleman to join him at a press conference on Saturday, March 15, 2008, to inaugurate the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U)—a new venture of the Clinton Global Initiative that challenges college students and universities to tackle global problems with practical, innovative solutions. Clinton highlighted just two commitments in his press announcement: Bennington College's and a commitment made by a Yale undergraduate student.
"Bennington's commitment is an attempt to go beyond a false debate and to say that you can study the basic subjects of the liberal arts and also figure out a way to practically apply them to change people's lives," Clinton remarked. "I really think Bennington's commitment is very important and could spark a lot of other colleges and universities that are not involved in this kind of work to do the same thing. President Coleman, I thank you for your vision."
Through its new initiative, Bennington will address the complexity and urgency of six global challenges: economics and equity; the environment and sustainability; health; sustaining democratic governance; education; the appropriate and inappropriate uses of force. Specifically Bennington College will: 1) embed in its curriculum the depth of intellectual demands, the diversity of perspectives, and the strategic intelligence necessary to address these critical challenges; 2) engage a faculty that includes activists, politicians, journalists, and public intellectuals in addition to scientists, artists and scholars; 3) build a major new green facility to enable and enhance the programs objectives‹the work of the center will serve as a catalyst for making concerns for the public good an informing principle of curriculum.
This inaugural CGI U event, held March 16–18, 2008, in New Orleans, Louisiana, brought together hundreds of students, university officials, and global leaders—each willing to commit to taking real, concrete steps towards solving problems within CGI U's four main focus areas: energy and climate change, global health, human rights and peace, and poverty alleviation. Twenty-three institutions in addition to Bennington—including Brown, Cornell, Hobart and William Smith, Rice University, Tufts, Tulane, the University of Colorado, and the University of Vermont—participated, and Tulane University hosted the event.
As part of the William J. Clinton Foundation, CGI brings together world leaders, NGOs, and the private sector to convert good intentions into meaningful action and tangible results. Over the past three years, CGI's high-profile members have delivered remarkable commitments. To bring about lasting social change, President Clinton firmly believes the next generation of young leaders must also be a part of this effort; CGI U challenges them to do so.

Beryl Still Has The Characteristics Of A Subtropical Cyclone...With
The Intermittent Convection In A Ring About 60-70 Nm From The
The Initial Intensity Remains 45 Kt Based On A St 3.0 Classification From Tafb. While Microwave And Goes Sounder Airmass Imagery Show An Increase In Moisture Near The Center Over The Last 24 Hours...Beryl Is Running Out Of Time To Intensify Before Landfall.
Given That The Convection Is Still Transient And The Cyclone Has Less Than 12 Hours Before It Will Be Approaching The Cooler Shelf Waters...The Nhc Forecast Shows No Change In Intensity Prior To Landfall.
Beryl Will Weaken To A Depression By 36 Hours As It Moves Slowly Inland.
Some Restrengthening Is Expected When The Center Moves Back Over Water After 72 Hours And Additional Intensification Is Forecast As Beryl Becomes Extratropical By The End Of The Forecast Period. The Nhc Intensity Forecast Is Close To The Lgem Through The Period.
The Initial Motion Estimate Is 255/09...As The Cyclone Has Begun To
Turn More Westward Overnight.
Beryl Is Expected To Complete The Westward Turn Today As It Approaches The Coast...And Then Slow Down After Landfall As The Ridge To The North Weakens.

At 36 And 48 Hours...The Nhc Forecast Has Been Adjusted A Little To The West...But Remains Between The Tvca Consensus And The Ecmwf.
In The Latter Part Of The Forecast Period...The Guidance Has Come Into Better Agreement As To How Quickly Beryl Will Recurve Ahead Of A Mid-Latitude Trough.

Remaks by Oscar Fann follow...
After the National Hurricane Center (NHC) indicated a slight change in the inland track of BERYL during the late Saturday afternoon update, the NHC has almost gone back to the original thought of a weakened BERYL moving farther west, pulling up just short of Valdosta late Monday, then stalling briefly, before recurving and moving off to the northeast later on Tuesday.
Thus, our forecast for the WTVY-TV area remains essentially unchanged since our first update early Friday morning.
Briefly, that means rain chances enter the forecast Sunday night - about 20% for Dothan.
From Sunday night through midweek, the farther east you go from Dothan the higher the rain chances (and west from Dothan lesser rain chances prevail).
If BERYL's path continues as expected, we will lower Dothan's rain chances to 40% for Monday & Tuesday later today. FOR NOW, Dothan will be fortunate to receive about a half inch of rain relating to the effects of BERYL.
Rain amounts relating to BERYL look to be rather light for the period for most of the WTVY-TV coverage area, although 1, possibly 2 inches could be possible in parts of southwest Ga. and east of the Apalachicola River in the Florida panhandle Monday though Wednesday.
If BERYL's direction changes, then obviously the forecast changes, but as mentioned previously, there has been little change in the forecast since early Friday.
For now, winds will not be a factor, and the severe weather potential relating to BERYL remains very low.
Along the coast -
Beach and boating weather through the Memorial Day weekend should remain unaffected through Sunday. Monday should see an increase in clouds, but not a complete overcast. There will be more sunshine west of Panama City, but even coastal areas just east of Panama City would still have some sunshine. Rain chances appear slight for much of Monday for coastal areas west of Apalachicola. As we constantly stress - ALWAYS, check with lifeguards and local officals to get the very latest beach & marine conditions BEFORE entering the Gulf waters.
More updates through the holiday weekend here on our website as well as on WTVY-TV's regularly scheduled newscasts.

Yeah, definitely in for a cup!
@mattysc: Me too! I'm gonna try their Pumpkin Spice Latte. I have a feeling it'll super-sugary like their Frappucinos, but it's worth a shot at the very least.
Am I the only one who cant get this to work?
Page wont load for me. I imagine they are just getting overloaded.
Do you have to spend the whole thing in one visit or do you carry a balance like a gift card. It makes it seem more like a $10 coupon than a gift card.
It took about 2 minutes to process after "purchase pending" button to confirm and get my voucher.
website keeps crashing, just gotta keep trying a couple times, it showed up after i tried twice, not sure if it was because of the first one or the second...
@jbw072287: It's a $10 gift card. They give you a gift card code as well as a bar code, which you give in-store.
It's essentially a gift card that you pay for and then print out.
Also, to anyone having crashing issues, I've had to go through Error 503 a few times before I got to the page where it confirmed my offer, but alas, I have the eGift card now. (It did not charge my credit card multiple times, as far as I know. )
I see a venti Mocha-nut in my future!
Well that was painful....between hang time and 503 server errors it took me almost 40 minutes to buy it.
@jbw072287: My first experience with Starbucks eGift Cards was when I won a $25 "card." I wanted to give it as a gift, so I took it to my local Starbucks and they transferred my printed card to a real card of my choosing. I imagine if you showed the printed one when you made a purchase you could ask them to put the balance onto a regular card. I think it has to have at least a $5 value left, but I'm not sure. Another thing to note is that I was told you have to make the transaction at a company store and not a franchise (like ones inside grocery stores).

How are i.e. and e.g. pronounced?
Sign up

i.e. stands for id est (Latin), which means "that is". You use it to link in a deeper explanation about something. Pronounce it "eye - ee".
e.g. stands for exempli gratia (also Latin), which means "for example". You use it to link in an example of a more generic term. Pronounce it "ee - jee"
When I was in college, one of my philosophy professors instructed us to use translated English for abbreviated or initialized latinisms when reading a text aloud. I would agree that in most cases you should speak the translated English rather than speaking the letters of the initialization.
While i.e. and e.g. are relatively common, other abbreviated or initialized latinisms, such as viz., are less frequent and their English translation should certainly be provided when reading from a text that includes a latinism.
For example, take the following quote from Plato:
When reading that quote aloud, the translation for viz. should be provided.
Speaking the translation for initialized and abbreviated latinisms provides greater clarity for the audience than simply speaking the initials or the latin.
Just pronounce the letters: "Eye eee" and "eee gee".
I have never met anyone who actually said "id est" and "exempli gratia", which is what they really stand for.
I can't believe this wasn't addressed in the Oatmeal Comic but I usually say the letters or replace it with "for example" (and now, thanks to the comic, I'll replace it with "in other words" instead and use e.g. when I mean "for example").
and as for the pronunciation of the Latin:
i.e. = id est
but remember - as has been mentioned here; it's much better practice to use the English long-forms in speech:
i.e. - "that is" / "or"
Latin abbreviations
and yes when reading aloud I just use the translation to avoid confusion
Pronuciation: just say the letters for most cases; except etc. and et cetera are pronounced the same.
et. al. is pronounced et all
