2.3.4. TinyMCE in CMS without custom editor.css
4 December 2009 at 6:03am Last edited: 4 December 2009 7:44am
Hi there,
while upgrading from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 I have noticed that my custom editor.css won't load anymore for TinyMCE in the CMS. So I have traced the problem and I found out that you moved HtmlEditorConfig::get('cms')->setOptions() from LeftAndMain to cms/_config. So the problem is that you actually check SSViewer::current_theme() before I call SSViewer::set_theme().
My solution so far is to simply set the content_css value again in my own _config but I guess this shouldn't be the point.
'content_css'=>'cms/css/editor.css, '.(SSViewer::current_theme() ? THEMES_DIR . "/" . SSViewer::current_theme() : project()) . "/css/editor.css"
But maybe I overlooked something.

Yes, the editor.css doesn't load anymore in 2.3.4
I'will try this workaround, but I think this shouldn't be the "official" way...
/edit: It works with your addition to the _config.php, thanks for posting this!

05/1993 (BGVN 18:05) Ice cap forms at summit
For the first time this century a seasonal ice cover was observed at the summit. The ice cover was seen on the N and W faces from February 1993 through the end of May. The primary source of water for Puebla is runoff from Malinche; it is not known what effect the development of an ice cap will have on the water supply. Glacial deposits have been identified on the NE flanks of the volcano. Seismicity has been monitored daily from a station at Puebla University since 1986, but no events have been detected.

La Malinche is an eroded stratovolcano, cut by deep canyons, that rises to 4461 m NE of the city of Puebla. Malinche occupies an isolated position between the Popocatépetl-Iztaccíhuatl and Orizaba-Cofre de Perote volcanic ranges. Much of the andesitic-dacitic volcano was constructed during the Pleistocene, and the summit exhibits evidence of glacial erosion. This volcano remains relatively unstudied, however, recent work has identified tephra layers of Holocene age that originated from Volcán la Malinche. Several tuff cones and explosion craters, at least one of Holocene age, are found on the flanks of the volcano; one of the most prominent of these is the Xalapaxco tuff cone complex on the lower NE flank. Holocene lahars from La Malinche associated with an eruption about 3100 years ago reached the Puebla basin and affected precolumbian settlements.

|The snow-capped summit of Malinche volcano rises to 4461 m NE of the historical city of Puebla. Pleistocene glaciers have excavated the flanks of the volcano, but deposits of Holocene eruptions have recently been dated. Several tuff cones and explosion craters are found on the flanks of Malinche, at least one of Holocene age.

|Volcán la Malinche, seen here from the south, derives its name from a Mayan woman who became the wife, aide, and interpreter of the Spanish explorer Cortés. The Spanish mispronounced the woman's name Malintzin as Malinche. Legends have surrounded Malinche, who is also referred to as La Llorana (the weeping woman) and whose ghost is said to be seen at night weeping over the betrayal of her race.

|Volcán la Malinche, seen here in an aerial view from the NE, is an eroded stratovolcano, cut by deep canyons, that rises to 4461 m NE of the city of Puebla. Malinche occupies an isolated position between the Popocatépetl-Iztaccíhuatl and Orizaba-Cofre de Perote volcanic ranges.

|The NE flank of Volcán la Malinche is cut by deep glacially carved canyons. The craters in the foreground are part of the Xalapaxco tuff cone complex. Xalapaxco means "vessel or container made of sand" in the Aztec Nahuatl language. The tuff cone contains ten overlapping craters formed by changes in water and magma supply rates during the course of an eruption. The tuff cone was erupted through alluvial fan deposits consisting of reworked fluvial and glacial deposits on the lower flank of Malinche.
Photo by Lee Siebert, 1998 (Smithsonian Institution).
|Broad alluvial fans composed of fluvial, glacial, and volcaniclastic sediments surround La Malinche volcano. The circular volcano is dissected by radial drainages on all sides. Relatively few volcanological studies have been conducted on Malinche and most studies have had a geomorphological and glacial focus. During attempts to reconstruct the Quaternary glacial history of Mexican volcanoes a yellowish-red pumice layer that extends around Malinche volcano was dated at between about 12,100 and 7650 years ago.

JOPLIN, Mo.—On Thursday, April 29, 2010, at Freeman Women's Center, Freeman Health System staff, board members, and supporters gathered at an evening reception to honor Sharon Cornell Beshore and other generous donors to the Freeman Women's Fund and unveil a special wall of recognition.
Gifts to Freeman Women's Fund help advance women's healthcare by funding technologies, such as digital mammography and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and new services for women at Freeman.
Gifts of $1,000 or more are commemorated with a plaque on the custom, stained glass legacy wall inside the lobby of Freeman Women's Center.
In appreciation of her gifts and long-time support of Freeman Health System, the legacy wall bears the name Sharon Cornell Beshore Legacy Wall.
According to Beshore, "I believe in Freeman's commitment to health and to our community and have witnessed the phenomenal growth and development of the health system over the past 18 years my husband Lance has been Chairman of the Board. Freeman Women's Center will continue to advance the level of women's care in our region. I am so proud to be a benefactor of the Freeman Women's Center and therefore, a part of this legacy wall."
Freeman President and CEO Gary Duncan explained, "As we unveil the legacy wall this evening, we wanted to honor and thank our benefactors—special people like Sharon and Lance Beshore, Jan and Wes Houser, Debi and Steve Koelkebeck, Mary Jane Landreth, and the La-Z-Boy Corporation—who have made a commitment to partner with Freeman in advancing women's healthcare and technology and make a profound difference for women in our community."
Breast MRI serves as a valuable diagnostic tool that speeds treatment and saves lives. It can detect early-stage masses, tumors, and other abnormalities not visible through mammogram or ultrasound. This technology captures multiple sectional pictures of the breast and combines them to generate detailed three-dimensional images. While it doesn't replace clinical breast exams and mammograms, physicians may use breast MRI to enhance diagnostics. With a specially designed breast coil, Freeman began offering breast biopsy under MRI in February 2010.
Digital mammography offers the latest technology for breast health. With digital mammography, images are taken and stored digitally, as with a digital camera. The digital images can be manipulated to see changes in breast tissue better than with film images, especially in women with dense breasts. Upon opening Freeman Women's Center in November 2008, Freeman unveiled two new digital mammography machines. Through gifts to Freeman Women's Fund, Freeman Women's Center will add a third digital mammography machine in summer 2010.
For additional information about Freeman Women's Fund or to give a gift, please contact Freeman Foundation at 417.347.6657.
About Freeman Health System
Not-for-profit, community-owned, and locally governed, Freeman Health System is a 404-bed, three-hospital system. Based in Joplin, the fourth largest metropolitan area in Missouri, Freeman provides comprehensive healthcare and behavioral health services to an area that includes more than 450,000 residents from Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

Primer on Probiotics
By Nora Simmons
Probiotic, prebiotic; good bugs, bad bugs. Every time we turn around, another study champions the benefits of these gut-friendly supplements. But what are they? What do they do? Why should we take them? We asked Angelica S. Vrablic, PhD, a leading expert in nutrition research and a probiotic guru, to give us the lowdown. Here's what we learned:
1. Probiotics are non-pathogenic (not capable of causing harm) bacteria that naturally live in our gut.
2. Probiotics help keep our intestines healthy and our digestive and urinary tracts running smoothly. These immunity boosters keep infection-causing bacteria (think salmonella and ulcer-inducing H. pylori) from thriving in our intestinal tracts by crowding them out and producing proteins that kill them.
3. The body doesn't make probiotics on its own; we have to supply them, either by eating fermented food or taking supplements. Back in the good ol' days, when Grandma pickled her garden-grown cucumbers, fermented the cabbage patch into sauerkraut, and cultured her own yogurt, our diets supplied all the healthy flora we needed. But now almost all fermented foods (even those found in natural grocery stores) contain added sugars and have undergone pasteurization, which kills the good bacteria along with the bad. "If you can find unpasteurized fermented foods (kimchi, pickles, and sauerkraut), buy pasteurized yogurt to which the probiotics have been added back, and eat plenty of prebiotics, you don't need to supplement," says Vrablic. But if you're like most of us—and be honest—you need to supplement.
4. And you should. Every day. Especially after you've taken antibiotics. "Antibiotics kill bacteria, and because probiotics are bacterial cultures, they can't survive. Your gut will desperately need to recolonize its healthy flora," says Vrablic. "But wait until you finish your antibiotics before starting your probiotic supplements." As long as you're not on antibiotics currently, you can take probiotics at any time of the day, with or without food. And they're totally safe; even a first-time probiotic user can confidently take the recommended dose every day.
5. So what is a prebiotic? Simply put, a prebiotic is food—a complex carb (fiber)—for your probiotic bacteria. For example, Lactobacillus acidophilus feed on the lactose from milk; they then produce lactic acid and thus yogurt. Common prebiotics include inulin (carb from chicory), pectin fiber (from citrus fruit), and almonds. Many probiotic supplements will contain a prebiotic formula too.
6. You can find formulas that specifically target different digestive issues: Lactobacillus acidophilus for gassy stomachs and lactose intolerance; bifidobacteria for intestinal problems and deeper digestive issues; or Lactobacillus rhamnosus for general gut and immune support. But Vrablic recommends finding a good all-around daily supplement that includes several strains so that you cover all your bases.
7. When you choose a supplement, rem...

(WMC-TV) - The United States Olympic Committee sent a letter to Memphis Mayor A C Wharton inviting the city to submit a bid to host the 2024 Olympic Games.
The committee sent letters to cities that have previously expressed interest in bidding, as well as cities in the largest 25 U.S. markets.
"We've got some great facilities. Do we have the facilities to host an Olympic Games? That might be a stretch right now," said Kevin Kane, Memphis Convention and Visitor's Bureau.
CVB President Kevin Kane quickly became city hall's point man Wednesday after the media learned of the letter sent to the mayor, as well as counterparts in 34 other cities.
"You know, do I think Memphis is seriously on their radar screen? No. But they did send a letter to Mayor Wharton and Mayor Wharton will respond to it," said Kane.
The requirements for a city to host the Olympic Games usually require the construction of new venues, and operating budgets usually exceed $3 billion. In addition to that, here are a list of requirements provided in the letter sent to the Memphis mayor:
• 45,000 hotel rooms.
• An Olympic Village that sleeps 16,500 and has a 5000-person dining hall.
• Operations space for over 15,000 media and broadcasters.
• An international airport that can handle thousands of international travelers per day.
• Public transportation service to venues.
• Roadway closures to allow exclusive use for Games-related transportation.
• A workforce of up to 200,000.
In the letter, the committee said they will choose the host city through a "thoughtful and efficient process". The first step is to have discussions with the cities that show interest in bidding.
"Yeah, I think we've got our work cut out for us to get to that point in the short term," said Kane.

When I spent time at the Grace Adult Day Health Care Center in Sunnyvale last spring, the fate of California's adult day health program – and of Grace itself – was unclear.
It's one year later, and in some ways, the situation remains unsettled. Look no further than today's federal court hearing on the issue.
One year ago, proposed state budget cuts seemed so grim that Grace's co-owners, Manooch and Suzanne Pouransari, were considering closing down their center and opening a nursing home instead.
Grace offers medical services, physical and speech therapy, meals and social stimulation to participants with medical and cognitive problems, from diabetes to Alzheimer's disease. The majority are on Medi-Cal, the state's health insurance program for low-income residents, meaning that the center – and others like it – are dependent on government funding.
In November, the state announced a compromise plan to transition the existing Adult Day Health Care program into a new program, called Community-Based Adult Services (CBAS). Under this plan, centers would offer similar services, but not all of the 37,000 adult day health participants would be eligible.
Because the state was no longer talking about eliminating the adult day health program, the Pouransaris scuttled the nursing home idea and decided to keep Grace open as a CBAS center.
The state pledged to assess each participant to determine eligibility, and CBAS was slated to begin April 1 – this Monday.
But the assessment process has spurred complaints and a legal challenge that will be heard in San Francisco today.
"The process didn't happen very smoothly," Manooch Pouransari said.
Nurses visited Grace earlier this year and met with its 210 participants. They deemed all but two of them eligible for the CBAS program, Pouransari said.
After the nurses left, however, the state made 35 more ineligible, he said.
"Someone out there, without even knowing our participants or visiting them, they made an ineligible list of their own," he said.
Those participants are contesting the findings, but won't have their hearings before the program is supposed to transition into CBAS Monday.
"These people, they're all going to be eligible. They have Alzheimer's, they're disabled, they use wheelchairs," he said. "There's no doubt they made a mistake."
Elissa Gershon, attorney at Disability Rights California, said complaints such as these are widespread. Disability Rights has filed a contempt motion, arguing the state is not meeting the terms of the transition plan it agreed to.
"It's not clear on what basis the nurse is overturning these eligibility findings," she said.
The state Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) counters that it has been in full compliance with the agreement.
"This filing by the plaintiffs is unnecessary. DHCS is disappointed that the plaintiffs have abandoned the well-intentioned and cooperative process that we have used successfully to this point," said a department-issued statement.
The department says it intends to move forward with the transition Monday. But Gershon isn't so sure. It depends on what happens in court today.
"It's really down to the wire," she said.
This blog was updated on March 29, 2012
UPDATE: There was no announcement today after the federal court hearing on the Adult Day Health Care transition. It seems that both sides are trying to work out their differences outside of the courtroom.
DHCS released this statement.
"Any complex settlement, as the adult day health care one is, has thousands of moving parts and hundreds of provisions, about which the parties may have disagreements about interpretation or implementation. DHCS and Disability Rights California have had these disagreements and are working things out. At today's federal district court hearing, by the request of both parties, the matters were taken off calendar to allow time for both parties to finalize the settlement agreement. DHCS is committed to working with the plaintiffs to resolve any outstanding issues. This does not affect DHCS' April 1 launch of the Community-Based Adult Services program."

Big surprise here we beat the Spurs but lose to the Hornets. Us 30 rebounds, Hornets 19 offensive rebounds. Someone needs to learn how to box out cause this is pathetic. Maynor did his best and Barton scored some early points but Babbitt and Jeffries a bench does not make.

Gaza Is a Concentration Camp
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Gaza is an immense concentration camp -- 1.5 million people squeezed into 140 square miles hemmed in on all sides by 25-foot-high walls separated by a vast expanse of bulldozed earth. The 2005 "pull-out" left Gaza still controlled by Israel from air and sea, its entries and exits prisonlike mazes electronically controlled and under constant surveillance. Bombing it, assaulting it with tanks and Uzis, is like shooting animals in a pen. The claptrap about "pinpoint" accuracy and "avoiding civilians" is a lie so flagrant, so transparent, that any child -- certainly any Gaza child -- could grasp it.
There have been eight military assaults on Gaza since 2004; blockades started in 2005, and then a siege of medieval proportions in 2006, punishment for Gazans' having elected the wrong party for Israel and its U.S. patron. By December 2008, Richard Falk, special rapporteur on the Occupied Territories for the United Nations, reported an overall Gaza malnutrition rate of 75 percent, a childhood anemia rate of 46 percent and a devastated infrastructure. (For more, see Richard Falk's " Understanding the Gaza Catastrophe.")
This latest war -- called Operation Cast Lead -- is the "holocaust" promised by Israel's Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai last spring when he said Israel would create a shoa if Qassem rockets kept dropping on Israeli towns like Sderot. Shoa, Hebrew for holocaust, is a serious word denoting the extermination of an entire people. Vilnai embarrassed the Israeli government, and no official has used the term since.
But since Dec. 27, Israel has bombed Gaza's government buildings, universities, mosques, schools, medical clinics. It is impossible to keep pace with the death and injury toll, which rises as I write: on Jan. 13, the Israeli human rights organization B'tselem reported 900 Palestinians killed, with more than 4,200 injured. The Israeli toll: three civilians and seven soldiers killed, more than 82 civilians and 61 soldiers injured. As for Israeli civilians killed by rockets, the Israel Project lists 25 dead during the past seven years.
On the broadcast program Democracy Now, a Norwegian doctor, Mads Gilbert, who had just returned from Gaza to Denmark, told host Amy Goodman that "90 percent of those killed are civilians." Gilbert reported 971 dead, of whom 1 in 3 is a child under 18. He has worked in Gaza for years and was there for the first weeks of Israel's assault.
The Times of London, Human Rights Watch and B'tselem all report the illegal use of white phosphorous to strike civilians. When white phosphorous adheres to flesh, its flames continue to burn for five to 10 minutes, often penetrating to the bone.
Gilbert and other experts think Israel is also using a new weapon called dense inert metal explosive. It was developed by the United States to create lethal, powerful blasts within small areas. DIME inflicts wounds never before seen by surgeons in Gaza. According to Gilbert, conventional shrapnel damages limbs and other body parts as if they'd been cut by a huge knife. DIME, on the other hand, leaves "no signs of shrapnel," but rather "small pieces of some kind of substance" (DIME is made of nickel and cobalt). It crushes "the whole limb," not just part, with "multiple severe fractures, muscles split from bones." Some classify DIME weapons as nuclear because they are based on a fusion process. ( Democracy Now, Jan. 14.)
"Take some kittens … in a box. Seal up the box, then jump on it with all your weight and might, until you feel their little bones crunching, and you hear the last muffled little mew," a surgeon named Jamal tells Italian writer Vittorio Arigoni. Bloodstained boxes are fetched; Jamal opens one. It contains "amputated limbs, legs and arms, some from the knee down, others with the entire femur attached . . . from the injured at the Al Fakhura United Nations school in Jabalia, which resulted in more than 50 casualties."

A monument in Buffalo, North Dakota completed late in the fall of 2012 was officially dedicated on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27. The American Legion Easton, Yanish Post # 10 says they are proud to announce the construction of the monument at the Buffalo City Park on Main Street, honoring the men and women who served in the armed forces.
The monument is a six-foot by ten-foot black granite open-book like structure which sits on a granite base. A Medal of Honor symbol will be engraved on the upper center with ribbon like carvings going to the top of the book.
The monument foundation is in the shape of a pentagon with Service Seals engraved on the base. Four flags will be displayed behind the monument. At the entrance to the monument will be granite benches engraved: "Served with honor and pride and book of valor."
A Buffalo Medal of Honor recipient's name will be engraved under the medal followed by the random engraving of other Service Veterans names beginning at the top of each page.
Retired marine and North Dakota Public Service commissioner Brian Kalk was there, along with Bill Marcks, Post #10 Commander, Vice Commander District One North Dakota American Legion, and Margaret Vollmuth, Commander Post #10 Auxilliary.
At the Memorial Day dedication program, the names on the monument were read, the Post #10 Honor Guard did a 21 gun salute and Taps was played by the North Dakota Patriot Guard.

Mainline Trombone StandThe Mainline Trombone Stand boasts a tubular design stand that keeps it lightweight while making it very sturdy. The stand's adjustable height cone insures a proper fit with any brand of trombone. Durable black anodized coating.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
This trombone stand I found to be excellent. Its adjustable height features get my trombones off the ground easily and the in-bell cone helps make it easy to adjust to my different trombones. I always put my F-attachments on it and it works well.
There are only a few things that make me worry a little. My trombones tend to look very tipsy when on the stand because of the height, even though I think they're secure. Also, the stoppers at the bottom can come loose, as I've already lost one due to a jazz band gig. The last thing is that this is a more awkward stand to carry around. It won't fit in regular cases or gig bags so you'll have to carry it around, which can get annoying with the legs popping out sometimes.
One of the complaints I have with this stand is that the MINIMUM height has the trombone too high off the ground. There is NO problem getting the trombone high enough to clear the ground unless you are standing your trombone in a wheat field.
Another complaint I have is that it is awkward to carry. In addition to the bell section being rather large, I have found that repeated folding of the legs causes the crimped joints get loose and the legs begin to fall open while carrying.
I will admit, for the price...This stand makes a great home studio stand where it will see static use. I really recommend this stand for this purpose.
Well built except for two flaws.
1. Max height barely gets the trombone off the floor.
2. Plastic stopper (to restrict max height of the inner telescopics shaft) breaks easily, making me pull out the center shaft completely rather than just stopping at max height. annoying.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

More controversy in Buena Vista Township and this has people calling for one city official's resignation.
With a quick search of Flint's 68th District Court records, WNEM was able to find a number of parking violations for Buena Vista Township Supervisor Dwayne Parker. But one of those violations leads back to allegations that are much more serious.
One local official made those allegations public.
During public comment, Buena Vista Township school board member Frances Hayes revealed to the board that she dug up a bit of trouble in township supervisor Dwayne Parker's past.
Documents show Flint Police charged Dwayne Alan Parker in January of 2006 with one count of accosting and solicitation.
Genesee County prosecutors told TV5 that the charge accuses someone of trying to solicit a prostitute. The case was eventually pleaded down to a parking ticket.
Immediately following Monday night's meeting, WNEM tried asking Parker about the case.
Parker said, "Well, certainly it's a very critical matter, and I will respond, however I was instructed to wait and talk with my legal counsel prior to this happening, and I'll do that, but then we will get to ask you some questions."
Frances Hayes says, "Why bring this out now?, it was seven years ago. It's still Dwyane Parker is, he did do it, and it was covered up, and it was illegal."
Hayes calls Parker a hypocrite.
He demanded township clerk Gloria Platko's resignation after it was discovered she called him the n-word in a taped phone conversation.
Hayes says,"What Gloria said we may not like, but still freedom of speech." She says the difference is what Parker did was illegal.
Dwayne Parker has been supervisor in Buena Vista for the last 17 years. He says after he consults with his attorney he will answer questions about the case.

It could be one or all of the four planes I stepped on over the course of one week.

We're in the South, which means this Saturday's SEC Championship Game is a big deal, especially if you are an Auburn or Missouri fan. Rivalries aside, at least both teams agree that they have the best mascot. Two tigers dueling will certainly get hungry! We arm you with barstools and bites near the Georgia Dome, whether you're in town looking for a convenient spot or want to be as close to the action without buying a ticket.
Der Biergarten
300 Marietta Street, 30313
TVs: yes
Voted one of the top ten beer gardens in 2012 by USA Today, the German food and beer takes people back to Germany. A lively biergarten atmosphere is sure to be crowded so grab a spot early. We've heard the "Jagerschnitzel" is as close to home-cooked as you can get. Das gute.
Bottle Rocket
180 Walker Street, 30313
TVs: yes
Sushi + burgers= Bottle Rocket. About half a mile from the Dome, the carnivores can chomp burgers while others pop sushi and cocktails. The atmosphere is fun and quirky like you'd expect from an East meets West food spot. Plus, show your ticket and get 15% off.
Max's Coal Oven Pizzeria
300 Marietta Street NW, 30313
TVs: yes
The communal tables and authentic New York pizza give this place a casual bar atmosphere feel, great for carb-loading after the game. Plus it's the only pizzeria in Georgia with a coal oven. The homemade dough and toppings get slightly charred in the oven and makes for a crispy bite.
Elliott Street Deli and Pub
51 Elliott Street, 30314
TVs: yes
One block from the Dome, the parking lot can fit more than 400 cars, so tailgaters, you've found your spot. Their Boar's Head sandwiches are simple creations that will fill you up without a hefty price tag. The bread is delivered fresh daily, an effort that doesn't go unnoticed.
Sun Dial
210 Peachtree Street NE, 30303
TVs: no
Looking to escape the crowds and get a bird's eye view of Atlanta? Sun Dial Restaurant is the swanky alternative, but the view comes with a price. They've revamped their menu and reopened in August, so it is worth checking out, if not just for the "revolutions."

Hey Tigers! If you really want an out of this world experience then make your way up to Buford Hwy, Atlanta's best kept secret for fine international cuisine. After lunch, stop by Hogan's Toyota at the corner of Buford Hwy and Clairmont and head back into the city in style. Like this 2008 Avalon 4 door brand new interior custom chrome wheels turbo boost 6 cylinder power windows for the all new low price of $7,998. REALLY? YES! Bo Jackson and Blaine Gabbert drive one, so why don't you? And that's not all. We typically don't do this but this weekend and this weekend only we are paying TOP DOLLAR for any and all trade ins so long as you are an Auburn or Missouri alumni. So no matter the score of the game this weekend, at Hogan's Toyota everyone leaves a winner!

Judge blocks Cuomo from withholding aid to city schools
A state supreme court judge ruled this week that the state cannot withhold $260 million in aid from the city's Department of Education as punishment for the city's failure to finalize a teacher evaluation plan, the New York Times reported.
The preliminary injunction comes after city school parents filed a lawsuit this month arguing that the loss of funds would only hurt students.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he would withhold the money after the Bloomberg administration and the teachers' union failed to reach an agreement on a teacher evaluation system by Jan. 17. Though the governor's decision was made to motivate the city and the union to meet the deadline, Judge Manuel Mendez agreed with the parents, saying innocent children who need the money could be hurt by the cuts.
The city and the union have blamed each other for the delay to reach agreement.
Cuomo said earlier this week that the state Education Department would impose an evaluation system on city schools if the two sides cannot reach a deal by June 1.

The Sheriff's Department said 19 year old Nicole Holthaus was operating the ATV on the family's property along County S shortly before 1 o'clock. She hit some bumps in the gravel trail and was ejected from the ATV, suffering severe facial injuries. Holthaus was taken by ambulance to St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac.

Everton left Manchester City beaten but unbowed following what proved a brave but ultimately fruitless rearguard action.
It tells you everything about the contest and the reasons behind the visitors' emphasis that the decisive breakthrough was scored by a £30m substitute.
And there is a worthy in footnote in the fact that Mario Balotelli's crucial strike was deflected on the way by a defender plucked from the Championship and nurtured into an England international.
Phil Jagielka was for the most part superb at the heart of the Everton defence and was particularly unfortunate to play an unwitting role in the Italian's critical intervention.
Jagielka was probably shaded by central defensive partner Sylvain Distin who enjoyed a commanding display against one of his old clubs.
His defensive assuredness was a trait of the overall performance as the Blues looked to frustrate a club with nearly £150m worth of talent on the bench and have spent the thick end of £60m on left-backs alone.
But for a deflection they might well have achieved their goal.
The Blues aren't used to losing at Eastlands – they had won the previous four meetings – and despite a defeat confirmed by James Milner's late clincher, they won't be unduly low going into a week that culminates in the Merseyside derby.
They defended stoutly in the face of inevitable pressure, their shape and focus leaving few gaps despite the hosts enjoying around 65 per cent possession.
Unfortunately, where they have managed to hurt City on the break in the past, they weren't able to do so this time and were undone themselves by a combination of misfortune and their opponents' superior firepower.
David Moyes opted to recall skipper Phil Neville and deploy the veteran as an anchorman in a bid to stem the creativity of City's expensively assembled midfield.
And the former Manchester United man played his part as Everton enjoyed some early possession and got into their stride quickly.
If the first job was to get a foothold in the game, be organised and tight, that task was completed by the 20th minute with a wayward Sergio Aguero effort all the hosts had to show for their efforts.
In fact, David Silva was the only one getting the home fans excited – and that was by making the most of some early challenges.
Jack Rodwell and Phil Neville were both booked harshly for tangling with the Spaniard, while Leon Osman was also carded for a challenge on Yaya Toure.
Toure was then booked himself for scything down Seamus Coleman and with half an hour gone Howard Webb had been prolific with his yellow card.
But as the interval loomed the pressure grew and once Edin Dzeko had had fluffed his lines when well placed, Aguero drew an athletic save from Tim Howard.
The Blues offered little going forward with not much sticking to isolated frontman Tim Cahill and regimented defending very much the persuasion of their first half approach.
If it wasn't Cahill looking to provide a presence up top it was Marouane Fellaini, and the Belgian made a nuisance of himself as the visitors enjoyed their first spell of possession for what seemed an eternity in the five minutes before half-time.
It may not have been aesthetically pleasing but Everton's first half display would have been eye candy for admirers of the ugly side of the game.
As David Moyes said pre-match, you're not going to outplay a team as lavishly assembled as City's so it was about finding a way of getting something. For the Blues that meant a defensive gameplan that would have had coaches reaching for a notebook and pen.
The pattern changed little after the break but there was a reminder of the Blues' own attacking threat as Cahill glanced Coleman's cross just over the bar.
Three corners in a row represented a welcome chance for Everton's defenders to check out the penalty box at the other end of the pitch as a frustrated City looked to be running out of ideas.
That prompted Mancini to send for the enigmatic talents of Balotelli, while an attacking change was also forthcoming for the visitors with Louis Saha replacing Cahill, the Aussie limping off with Vincent Kompany's studs leaving an impression on his shin.
Balotelli's off the field antics have regularly generated the wrong sort of headlines, but on the pitch his talent is unquestionable and it took him mere minutes to make the difference.
A large slice of fortune helped him along the way, however, as his shot took a sizeable and decisive deflection off of the lunging Jagielka.
Inevitably that goal inflicted a gaping puncture in the Blues' performance and a sloppy second strike merely confirmed defeat.
Fellaini saw a late shot cleared off the line but there was no consolation for the visitors who will now swiftly turn their attentions to a foe closer to home.

Apparently, the McLaren P1 's Nurburgring lap times is still a mystery, and we're not sure why McLaren is still keeping it a secret. Back in October 2013, a video showed a P1 supercar lapping the 'Ring in 6 minutes and 47 seconds, but back in September, more rumors suggested that the 2014 McLaren P1 lapped the Nurburgring track in 7:04 .
Now, according to AutoCar, it looks like the P1 actually lapped the 'Ring in closer to the 6:30 mark. Apparently the British magazine got their info from a McLaren insider during a recent test drive of the supercar .
In talking about the car's rumored 6:47 lap time, this McLaren insider said that the P1 is "a fair bit quicker than that." This likely means that it is faster than the likes of the Porsche 918 Spyder, which lapped the same ring in 6:57 .
We just wish that McLaren would stop being so secretive about the official time and just come out with it already. We're growing tired of the rumors...

RICHLAND, Wash. - The first pre-season competition for Mid-Columbia Conference Boys Basketball starts Tuesday, it's the jamboree at Chiawana High School. That's where the Richland Bombers hope to get things going in the right direction after finishing second in the BIG-9 4A last year. Head coach Earl Streufert says one of the Bombers strengths is their un-selfish play.
"We're very unselfish, guys play together like crazy. You know they have a great practice demeanor, they do a good job, they just have to learn to stretch themselves a little bit and play a little better. Well our expectations are always the same, we just want to win every game. Whether or not we're going to do that, I don't know. pretty high hopes for these guys, they're a young group but pretty talented and we'll just have to see," said Streufert.

what's this!!
hey guys just came across this jacket, have never seen one. Does anyone know what era/style this is? any info out there kind of leather; rarety, value, , limited edition? number of ex.? thx
Gail on 11/20/12 at 11:01 AM
Between the years 1971 - 1978 we produced a special line of jackets for speciality motorcycle stores. We developed the Cycle Rider line of jackets, unfortunately I was unable to locate the style number for this jacket but as you can see it was based on the original D-pocket motorcycle jacket from 1928. I tried to determine the color to determine the type of leather, but I am actual unable to confirm. We used several different shades of this lighter color in both the steerhide and naked cowhide, though the naked cowhice would only be for the year 1978. I wish I had more information for you, since it was a special line it was not in our old catalogs. Gail

10 Basic Working Tips for Musicians
see more crazy cat pics
It occurred to me that even before exploring work options for musicians, it might be helpful to go over some basic principles that may be ridiculously obvious for non-musicians, but for some reason seem to completely escape the mindset of too many artists who seem to think that their talent somehow magically absolves them from all sense of personal responsibility. In addition to my musical duties as a collaborative pianist at Curtis, i'm also responsible for overseeing the concert activities of the students, particularly when that involves hirings for both internal school functions (like backstage concert work) and outside venues ("gigs", in the musical vernacular). Time and again, i see so many talented students tripping up their own hire-ability - here are a few examples:
I could go on and on, but you get the point. And i should emphasize that i've seen this behavior in professional as well as academic contexts (and, yes, i should confess, i've been guilty of several of these shenanigans myself...like the time i was on my way to New York to accompany someone on a major audition, forgot the music (back in the day when i used paper music), showed up 30 minutes late...needless to say, i didn't get paid, and i felt horrible for ruining someone else's career opportunity...)
With that in mind, i humbly present 10 basic working tips to help musicians not only get work, but to actually make themselves MORE hire-able:
1. Say "YES". A good friend of mine was approached by a presenter after an audition and invited to perform in a high profile concert with only 1 week's notice. Not knowing the repertoire, she initially said "no". After some gentle cajoling, i convinced her to take a chance, call that presenter back, and accept the offer. Turns out the concert drew some terrific publicity and a prominent mention in a major newspaper, effectively launching her career. You never know what wonderful opportunities you will discover unless you take a chance and say "YES"!
2. Say "YES". It's one thing to accept a big offer, while admittedly it's not very exciting to accept small ones. But if you will take a long-term view of work and realize how small things eventually grow to larger ones, you'll eventually see opportunities that the vast majority of musicians will miss simply because they are waiting around for the "big one", the spectacular job that will launch their career into the stratosphere (with the same statistical rate of success as the mega-million-dollar lottery...) i was trained as a solo pianist and had my sights set on a "solo career", whatever that meant. It just so happened that my friends were always asking me to help out by accompanying their lessons, coachings, and student recitals - i did it for fun, mainly because i love working with other people, not thinking that these little "jobs" would actually one day give me the sight-reading and social skill-sets to become a professional collaborative pianist with far more work (and a steadier income) than i could've hoped for as a struggling soloist.
3. Say "YES". Particularly when everyone else is saying "no"! Many times, fear of being unprepared will prevent us from actually using that fear to propel us to greater performance and better opportunities. i call this "perfection paralysis", and it's particularly rampant among classical musicians. Too many times, i see musicians wait until every note is perfectly in place and they can spit out a performance on "auto-pilot" before they'll accept a job, then wonder why nothing's available. More often than not, using the fear of a deadline can actually be used to heighten your musicianship and free up your creativity - and certainly to grab those job offers that everyone else is too afraid to take on!
(ok, enough of the "yes" answers - now for some nitty gritty)
4. Communicate promptly. Timely responses will win over your hiring resources and presenters big time - they'll be reassured that you are reliable and professionally capable.
5. Present complete information. Few things get under my skin as a contractor than to see incomplete repertoire information like "Sonata #2 by Brahms" (Piano and Violin? A major? Op. 100? Johannes?) Why not impress your presenter by showing that you really know your repertoire? Take the time to check those umlauts! Use Google to look up that BWV catalog number! If you need help typing in diacriticals and other international markings for your titles and movement headings, check out http://www.starr.net/is/type/kbh.html.
6. Read. Slowly. i'm amazed at the number of times i've received phonecalls from musicians i've hired asking for the phone number of the presenter and the address of the concert - THE DAY OF THE CONCERT! My answer is usually, "um...did you read the email i sent you?" Again, this is another opportunity to dazzle your presenters with your intelligence and professionalism. The alternative is usually called a "blacklist" - why deal with difficult-to-manage musicians when there are so many others out there that are more than willing to do a little extra homework? Presenters like to work with artists who present the least resistance to professional protocol.
7. Keep your word. Those last-minute program changes can end up being very costly for printing costs, as well as wrecking whatever publicity was set up ahead of time. Bowing out of a gig with a poor excuse can cost you future hiring opportunities. Presenters generally appreciate simplicity - if you simply do what you say and communicate that clearly, everyone is happy. You'd be surprised at the ratio of re-requests for reliable musicians as opposed to those who put on a prima donna debacle.
One the time management side of things:
8a. Know your schedule. I'm amazed that in this day of ubiquitous calendar apps on cell phones and even old Palm Pilot PDA's (passe as they may be these days) there are still students that walk around with no idea of their availability a week from Tuesday! There are two terrible sins here - 1) Not being able to commit because you don't know if you're available, and 2) committing to something that conflicts with your schedule because you thought you were free "off the top of your head", then having to deal with correcting that afterwards. Remember, you'll always be in control of your schedule IF IT'S ALWAYS WITH YOU!!
8b. Don't be on-time - BE EARLY. i'm personally guilty of this one several times over - i tend to estimate my travel times to arrive right on the dot. One of these days i will learn to get to my hired event with plenty of cushion time. You simply never know if traffic will be snarled, the train is delayed, or if American Airlines suddenly cancels 300 flights due to inspections...
9. Be flexible. Many times a gig will present us with unexpected situations - perhaps the acoustics are too dry, perhaps the stage is a lot smaller than what you're comfortable with, or just maybe the piano is out of tune (heaven forbid!!) Whatever the case, work opportunities will tend to flow more often to the musician who has the flexibility to adapt to varying situations.
One time, i was scheduled to have a recording session for a new string and piano sonata. The string player was full of confidence and bravura during the rehearsals, but the minute he stepped under the microphone, he completely froze. Suddenly, the microphone wasn't placed right - the balance was off - the room was too dry - the session basically ground to a halt as the string player sat down for 4 hours and sulked about everything that was wrong about the recording studio.
Don't get me wrong, i'm all for pursuing the highest quality in my art, but there comes a point when flexibility needs to overcome "perfection paralysis" in order to accomplish the job at hand.
Remember my example of arriving late for that NY audition? Turns out that there was another pianist there who had the flexibility to step in for my absence at the last minute to accompany my friend's audition. I'm sure the level of gratitude heaped on that pianist led to several more opportunities, thanks to that person's flexibility!
10. Be grateful. Nothing makes a job more unbearable than a bad attitude. A prima donna will put the tiniest problems under a microscope and make mountains out of anthills. A grateful artist, on the other hand, will appreciate the opportunity and make something wonderful with whatever's at hand. Now if you were the hiring presenter, who would YOU want to invite for a return engagement?
Look, i'm not saying that being a page turner or playing in an environment where the dinner plates clink louder than the music is going to be much fun. But you never know if that page turner can discover a better page-turning system or if that gig musician meets an investor willing to front the production costs for a new CD project! You'd be amazed at how many opportunities can be generated from just having the right attitude - and conversely, how many of them get repelled by a sour spirit.
There you have it, a 10-point checklist of working tips for musicians. Believe me, there are several areas that i have to work on improving myself, so i'm not holding myself above the fray! If you have any other suggestions, please leave comments. Now, back to work!

This brush works better than my ring finger and a traditional concealer brush at applying corrector and / or concealer under my eyes. Ideal for undereye powder too. Good for patting on product or blending. Just an amazing, soft, and svelte, brush. I highly recommend this if you use any type of undereye products!
love love these brushes, buy the set if you can because thyre awesome. sold at target and theyre great. I would have done all five stars but it wouldn't let me. I think the brushes are sturdy although I did have 1 to come out and I glued it, it was the one with the blender on one end and brush on the other.
overall the brushes are worth the money
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is too big for my eyes but it sets my makeup very well. My undereyes no longer look cakey and powdery. I love to use this specifically with loose powder for an even more seamless, blended appearance. I also use this around my entire face when I can't be bothered to switch brushes. This allows me to lightly swish or pat powder around without going overboard.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I use this brush mostly for concealer since I have a few other brushes I use for blending eye shadows. It blends concealer beautifully especially in the undereye area and around the nose. I've been using this daily for at least 6 months and it's my favorite brush for this purpose.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Blends, Blends, Blends, so Amazing! I wish I had this in high school.. If you enjoy a smokey eyeshadow this is a perfect blending brush, I can not believe I went so long without it, Jeez!, I recommend! Sometimes you can catch them on clearance. Oohhhh, also so beautiful to Blend out concealer on spots!..
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I kept hearing good things about this brush until I tried it for myself. It is wonderful!!!! I love the handle the way it's Nice,soft and how well it blends everything....shadows, concealers, pigments, etc. I love it more than my expensive brushes. Got it on clearance for around $9 at target. If I would've known I would've bought 2. I would totally recommend to everyone.A+++++++
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Can't imagine paying $11 for a brush at Target (bc I'm super cheap) but for less than $5.50, I took a chance. Great for blending eye shadows in my crease! So glad I bought this! Love the ergonomic design as well, very nice feature
More reviews by maribethnicole
The best eyeshadow blending brush.
The best for applying heavy concealers sparingly and blending them out.
Fluffier and bigger than the MAC 224 for comparison.
Really impressed, especially for the price.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
it collects a lot of pigment, and is big enough for the eye area, but for me it wared over time.
I have small eyes, so I only use this brush for blending. Boy, does it do a beautiful job! This brush has made more of a difference than any other product/tool in giving me a polished, professional look on my eye makeup. Has never shed, and is incredibly soft and fluffy. And that handle makes it fun to hold and easy to work with. I'll never be without this brush!

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTVB) - The U.S. House Tuesday approved a controversial abortion bill. The Republican measure would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Seventh District Michigan G-O-P Representative Tim Walberg, who voted in favor of the measure, said every year, over 1.2 million unborn children die at the hands of abortionists, suffering excruciating pain. Walberg, added, "As a father and grandfather, this sickens me". He said more needs to be done to protect the lives of women, babies, and the unborn and prevent such atrocities that go on behind closed doors.
The bill has no chance of passage in the Democratic-led Senate and faces a veto threat from President Obama. Democrats accuse Republicans of continuing to threaten women's reproductive rights.

* = Required Fields
WASHINGTON (BP) -- Retired Gen. Doug Carver, who oversees Southern Baptists' chaplain ministry, noted concerns about "growing ignorance, insensitivity or intolerance regarding matters of religion" within the U.S. military to a House subcommittee hearing Wednesday, Jan. 29.
The hearing regarding religious accommodation in the U.S. military drew a large crowd, including several Southern Baptist congressmen.
Current military leaders testifying at the hearing held that no substantiated instances of religious discrimination have taken place recently in the military, and that military chaplains of all faiths are free from any undue influence in matters of faith practices or conscience.
But even if substantial instances have not occurred, Carver pointed toward a climate that is creating a more restrictive faith environment. A winter storm in Atlanta prevented Carver from attending, but his written testimony was entered into the record.
"I am concerned about the perceived tension, misinformation and suspicion regarding an individual's free exercise of religion and conscience while serving as a member of the Armed Services," Carver stated in testimony he submitted. Carver, a former Army chief of chaplains, is executive director for chaplaincy at the North American Mission Board.
Other witnesses at the Religious Accommodation in the Armed Services hearing included Virginia Penrod, deputy assistant secretary of defense for military personnel policy; Brigadier Gen. Bobby Page, deputy chief of chaplains, U.S. Air Force; Brigadier Gen. Charles R. Bailey, deputy chief of Army chaplains; and Rear Admiral Upper Half Mark L. Tidd, chief of Navy chaplains.
During her testimony, Penrod said a recent teleconference with approximately 30 line chaplains revealed no religious freedom threats. She said command chaplains have not expressed any concerns.
"They have communication with their chaplains, and their chaplains are not concerned regarding the free exercise or expression of their faiths," Penrod said, adding that the sampling of chaplains on her teleconference believe if they do encounter issues that those would be handled appropriately.
Carver acknowledged the military's history of religious freedom protection.
"It was my personal experience of 38 years as a commissioned Army officer that the military placed the highest value on ensuring the religious liberty of our troops," Carver said. "The Department of Defense has historically, although sometimes too lengthy and cautiously, taken extraordinary measures to approve religious accommodation.... Our troops, and most Americans, understand the tension that exists between the religious needs of a service member versus military necessity."
A number of House members addressed the hearing as well, including four who are members of Southern Baptists churches, Alan Nunnelee of Mississippi and Vern Buchanan, Doug Collins and Austin Scott, all of Georgia. House Armed Services Committee chairman Buck McKeon, R.-Calif., also attended the hearing.
Nunnelee expressed concern over the reported activity taking place at military briefings held by the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, saying that anti-Christian statements were made during some of those briefings. Penrod said she had no reports of such statements and would have to investigate to give a proper answer for the record.
Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R.-Ohio, a combat surgeon veteran of the Iraq War and member of the House Armed Services Committee, said, "There is a fine line between accommodation and respecting all religions and restricting religious freedom and that's the line we are walking on here."
Response to the hearing prompted subcommittee chairman Joe Wilson, R.-S.C., to call for an additional hearing on the matter within the next 60 days.
Matthew Hawkins, coalition director for the SBC's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, attended the hearing and said it went "fairly well, considering the complex issue and limited time."
"I believe the subcommittee sees a need for further hearings," said Hawkins, who helps foster collaboration with likeminded groups on issues of law and public policy. "We do not want the federal government imposing decisions of faith on anyone, and definitely not on members of the military.
"There is much agreement that using a position of authority, such as a commanding officer's, to attempt to push someone into a faith decision is equally unacceptable," Hawkins added. He said he's interested to see where the conversation goes and whether "inappropriate proselytizing" will ever be sufficiently defined. The display of a religious text on an officer's desk, Hawkins said, certainly should not be defined as inappropriate.
