Last summer a postbox near Croke Park was briefly restored to its original Edwardian condition, that is, it was painted bright red. This change was meant to explore some of the undercurrents in the postcolonial nature of Irish society. As part of the current exhibition at the Digital Hub in Thomas Street, Dublin artist Tadhg McGrath will give a short talk about some of his work, which has included alterations to street furniture and the urban landscape. To find out what happened to the postbox, come along at 12.45PM. Admission is free. read full story / add a comment

Democrats Eye Unfolding Ohio Coin Scandal By JOHN SEEWER, Associated Press Writer TOLEDO, Ohio - A disastrous investment by the state in rare coins has erupted into both a financial and political scandal, with Ohio's Republicans running for cover and the Democrats seeing great opportunity. At least $10 million is feared missing from a $55 million fund that the Ohio Workers' Compensation Bureau set up in a risky and highly unorthodox foray into the buying and selling of coins. The investment was managed by coin dealer Tom Noe, a prodigious fundraiser who has showered contributions on Republicans in Ohio and beyond. read full story / add a comment
