|Ray-Ray: Our predicament is 'not too bad'
|05.09.10 at 4:56 pm ET
Ray Allen has always been extraordinary when it came to putting things in proper perspective – especially when the spotlight is brightest.
Everyone watching the Celtics on Friday night couldn't believe they got blown out of their own building and were trailing by as many as 35, suffering their worst-ever home court playoff loss.
But Allen, before Game 4 Sunday, played it cool, just like he was taking a potential game-winning three-point shot.
"You go into Game 3, it's almost Game 1 for both teams because you haven't playing four days so you can't take anything from the first two games and think there's going to be too many similarities," Allen said, attempting to explain the overwhelmingly poor performance.
"You're almost starting fresh, everybody has a couple of days off, sitting around watching games and just relaxing. It's like your first game of the playoffs so to speak."
Allen certainly looked like he was taking his own words to heart in the first half of Game 4 Sunday when he got out in transition with Rajon Rondo and spotted up for open look after open look, drilling a couple of key 3-pointers. He even got into it with LeBron James, late in the second quarter, showing an emotional spark rarely seen.
Maybe it was the fact the Celtics found themselves in a virtual must-win situation, down 2-1, with Game 5 Tuesday in Cleveland. Or maybe he was just trying to provide an emotional jump-start to his teammates.
But Allen believes in not making the game any bigger than life. He sees a 2-1 deficit entirely manageable if the Celtics play their game, get to the basket and attack.
"Really hard to put a finger on it," Allen said. "You have to deal with the predicament we're in, which is really not too bad."
Doc Rivers had a slightly different but still similar take on the dire need to win Game 4 at home and what happened in Game 3.
"If we had lost by three or lost by 40 or won by three or 40, it has to be the each mindset to begin each game," the Celtics coach said. "I thought they came in to Game 3 with the right one and I didn't think we did. And I think in Games 1 and 2, you can say we did. I don't know if they didn't but I know we did.
"I really don't care about their mindset really, honestly. There's going to be a game in this series where both teams are going to play great and we're going to have to find a way of winning that game."
|Pierce: 'I'm a natural born scorer'
|04.30.10 at 8:39 pm ET
WALTHAM — Paul Pierce has all the respect in the world for LeBron James.
James, after all, has become just the 10th player in NBA history to win back-to-back regular season MVP awards and will be crowned King before Game 2 Monday night.
'I think if you ask players, and ask players to be honest, just based on what he's achieved individually and as a team, it should be unanimous,' Pierce said.
But Pierce made a point to remind everyone on Friday before Game 1 that he still has confidence in his own ability to score from anywhere on the court.
"I think I'm comfortable doing anything," Pierce said. "I don't limit myself to just being a shooter, or just driving. I'm a natural born scorer. I think I can do it all over the court. If the shot is there, I'll take it."
Still, inquiring minds still wanted to know Friday just how Pierce – who figures to draw a good deal of the assignment of guarding James – plans to guard the newly-minted two-time NBA MVP.
'We just have to be aware of him constantly. You can't give him anything. You have to challenge his shot. He does everything so well. We all know that once he gets into a groove shooting, he can shoot the ball. We all know how he is attacking the basket.'
"Just going against the best, regardless if it's LeBron," Pierce said. "It's just going against the best teams. I just look at it over the years, I get to play against the top teams, I always get to show my best on the big stage. Obviously, playing against the MVP brings out the best in the best players in the league."
|LeBron's elbow just funny business to C's
|04.29.10 at 10:38 pm ET
WALTHAM — Gamesmanship is as common this time of year in the NBA as game planning.
With that being said, no one will know for sure just how big a role the banged up right elbow of LeBron James will play in the Celtics-Cavs series.
But the Celtics have their own sense of the seriousness of the injury to King James.
"He's fine," coach Doc Rivers said with a big smile. "I tell you what, if he goes three or four games and shoots left-handed only, then I'll believe that it's hurting. We're going to be ready for the LeBron we've seen all through the playoffs."
Of course, James DID shoot a free throw with his left hand in the Game 5 clincher against Chicago on Tuesday night with 7.2 seconds remaining the Cavaliers up, 96-92.
Added Ray Allen, 'I don't even pay attention to it. If there's something wrong with his elbow or any other part of his body, then he won't play, and we all know that."
|The Magic of LeBron
|04.29.10 at 9:21 pm ET
WALTHAM — Doc Rivers has seen that lightning-quick, cross-court pass that paralyzes a defense before leaving them powerless to prevent an easy, uncontested basket.
Magic Johnson did it seemingly at will in the 1980s and Rivers had an up close and personal view for it all.
It is precisely for this reason the Celtics coach is worried about LeBron James. Yes, No. 23 can take it to the rim. Yes, James can rebound and block shots. But what James can do to get others involved is the hardest aspect to prepare for in this series against the Cavaliers.
"He's a bullet passer," Rivers said on Thursday, two days before Game 1. "He's the only guy I know of like Magic. The 'steam' bullet passes. He throws cross-court passes that are 100 miles an hour and it's tough to react to.
"We showed the guys that on film and if you're not down in your stance and you're standing straight up on the weakside and he makes that pass, there's no way you're going to get out to that shooter."
Rivers tried his best to get his team ready but admitted it's next to impossible.
"We worked on that [Thursday] and there's nobody on our team that can throw that pass so the work didn't look as good. We kept getting out to the shooter and I said, 'Yeah, we're throwing softballs.'
"He's a great passer. In some ways, I think he wants to pass sometimes."
James is also the leading triple-double threat in the league. But Rivers said, like with Dwyane Wade, the Celtics can live with the points but not the rebounds and assists.
"Well, the 10 [points] and the 10 [rebounds] we can't have," Rivers said. "The 30 and the 40 [points] we don't want and, if he has it, we want him to have it our way, not his way. That's what upset us a little about Wade in a couple of the games. He got to 46 his way. The big game the last night [Game 5], he got it our way. We kept everyone else out of it so that was good."
|Time is now for Celtics
|04.29.10 at 5:37 pm ET
WALTHAM — You can tell just by the media crush at the Celtics training facility 12 miles west of Boston on Route 128 that there is a big series about to begin involving the Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The quotes from the participants provide another good clue.
The two teams, as any basketball fan will recall, met in an epic seven-game series in the 2008 playoffs. The series wasn't decided until the final 30 seconds of Game 7 at the Garden when Paul Pierce and the Celtics outlasted LeBron James and the Cavs.
Before that series, fans and experts hoped for a great series. This time, it's almost expected. But that's about where the comparisons end as far as the Celtics are concerned.
'Two years ago was two years ago," Pierce said. "They have new players, we have new players. This is a whole new team. This is a different type of team. They've got a lot of the same players, we have a lot of the same players but it's just like you grow up. Things change, you become better. You can't go off what you did in the past. There's nothing to that last series.'
Kevin Garnett agreed.
'They have better players," Garnett said. "They have Shaq, they have guys that have been there. They have experienced players who were there two years ago. Delonte [West] is better. [Antawn] Jamison is there, has been through the grind. They have better players, more experienced people.'
When the Celtics open their Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Cavaliers on Saturday night in Cleveland, it will be the first time in the era of the new 'Big 3' they're opening a playoff series on the road. It will also mark the second time in three seasons the two teams are meeting in the second round.
But whether opening at home or on the road – as will be the case this year – Ray Allen doesn't believe Boston's series triumph in 2008 will have much of an impact this time around.
'I don't really think it makes a difference," Allen said following Thursday's practice. "That was yesterday. Now we're trying to do this all over again. I'm sure that they remember. Playoffs in their building is tough and we remember Game 7 [in Boston] very vividly but it's a new series. Even if we did play them last year, it wouldn't have made a difference then, either. They're geared up against trying to get past us going to the conference finals. The ground has to give one way or another and we look forward to taking more ground.'
The Celtics were also asked to make another comparison – Miami's Dwyane Wade and Cleveland's James – and how beating the former might help them with the latter this series.
'They're not close at all, truthfully," Pierce said. "They have better supporting players. LeBron is playing two or three other guys who have been in the All-Star Game. I can't say that about Wade. The only similarity is they have one of the top scorers in the league. That's it. You're talking about two different players. They're definitely focal points but other guys, you definitely have to worry about them. There are most consistent players in Cleveland and those guys can beat you also.'
'LeBron's a different beast," added Garnett. "He's obviously with a better cast than D-Wade. I think D-Wade is one of the best one-on-one players in our game. That's true with LeBron but I think LeBron defers more to his teammates a little bit, with his supporting cast than D-Wade. He can turn around and he has 35, eight boards and nine assists. That means he's all-around, not even mentioning the steals and blocks. He affects the game in so many different dimensions.'
|Davis plans on attacking the Kingdom
|04.28.10 at 12:31 am ET
Glen Davis was speaking for the Celtics when he characterized the match-up with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers starting this Saturday at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland in the opener of the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
"It's going to be tougher, we know that," Davis said. "We've got to go there and grind it out. We go to them first. We just have to make sure we go there with the mentality of attack first. It's just like in every kingdom, sometimes you've got to go to the fight, you've got to bring it to them, attack their fortress and bust down their wall with a wooden tree and go attack it. That's how it is."
Davis and the Celtics will have Wednesday off before returning to practice Thursday afternoon. Game 1 is Saturday while Game 2 will be Monday in Cleveland before the series shifts back to Boston for Games 3 and 4.
While Dwyane Wade had another big game with 31 points in Game 5 Tuesday night, it was Davis who helped keep the rest of the Miami starters in single digits.
'Our defensive presence was just there," Davis said. "Game 4 we kind of backed off of that a little bit and D-Wade had a big game, some of the other players on their team. One of the reasons we closed this out is because of defense and kind of [containing] people round D-Wade."
Davis said the five-game series against Wade and the Heat might just be the perfect tune-up for James and the Cavs beginning Saturday on the shores of Lake Erie.
"It's just great practice for us against Cleveland," Davis said. "We had good practices. D-Wade is a great player. LeBron's a great player and he has good players around him and he makes them better. We have to stop the ones around him.
'We could do better," Davis added. "We're a better team, we've been together for a long time and we still make some of the same mistakes. We can always be better.'
Starting Saturday, Davis and the Celtics have little choice if they plan on advancing.
|Return trip not in plan for C's
|04.27.10 at 2:01 pm ET
WALTHAM — The next time Paul Pierce visits South Florida, he wants to be on a beach having fun in the sun.
To make sure he and his Celtics teammates avoid a working trip back on Thursday, they need to close out Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat in Game 5 at the Garden.
"There's a lot of urgency," Pierce said. "We don't want to go to Miami. Hopefully the next time I go to Miami, I'll be on vacation."
While there was a lot of focus on the 46 points Wade put up in Game 4 on Sunday, on 16-of-24 shooting from the field, Pierce said it's Wade's supporting cast of Quentin Richardson and Michael Beasley that must be contained. And that starts with him.
"Other guys like [Carlos] Arroyo and Beasley can't have big games for them," Pierce said. "Wade is going to have the ball most of the time. You have to expect him [Wade] to have big numbers because of that. It's the other guys definitely we have to shut down."
While Arroyo was held to just six points in 21 minutes, Richardson and Beasley combined for 35 points while making a disturbing 13-of-27 shots from the field. That's the stat that concerned coach Doc Rivers afterward and it's what the Celtics must be aware of in Game 5 if they are to avoid the pain of getting on a plane Wednesday for South Florida.
Kevin Garnett had a slightly different take on what will be needed against the Heat. Garnett wants everyone to remember they can't win the game by themselves.
"I thought, for the most part, everybody wanted to get this settled in Miami and we were trying to do it with one shot instead of one pass," Garnett said. "We were one step late on a lot of rotations. They threw a zone at us and we were all out of whack with that."

Made these today with my 3 yr old today. They were quick and easy and very tasty!! Made with a cookie scoop so it made 18 cookies. Made a dozen as per the recipe and 6 with chocolate chips added. Will make these again because they are a quick cookie to make. Made for Fall 2009 PAC.
These are totally awesome!! The batch size is perfect, I found it made exactly 24 cookies. I didn't have shortening so I subbed butter which probably make mine a bit more golden than the recipe intended... I also added 1/2 c chocolate chips since we like the coconut/chocolate combination. This is an excellent recipe which I'm sure I will be making again. Thanks for sharing it.
Yummy was the review given by one of my testers...the small batch size was ideal for just the 2 of us and the occasional drop-in. Followed the recipe exactly..oven time was right on. Quick and easy recipe. Thanks so much for posting.

When I stayed at the Holiday Inn - Miami Portside Hotel, there were a few evenings where a pizza delivery menu flyer was posted through my day. I've heard that these are not genuine companies, what happens is that when you phone to place our order, they take your credit card details for fraudulent use. I don't know how true this is, but better to be safe than sorry.
If staying in hotels, beware of touris class, they are the pitts. Also watch out for strangers following you around, we had a couple of youngsters follow us off the beach but stopped short as we went into a bar with plenty of others.

Hi there, first of all, many thanks for this awesome plugin. It should come by default with WordPress.
Ok, so I'm looking for a way to update an already posted post via email.
Example: I post something via email and a couple of hours later I remember a really important detail that needs featuring in the same post. Is it possible to add the missing detail, email it and get my "old" post updated?
Does Postie offer that possibility?

As a small business ourselves, our hearts are with our fellow entrepreneurs. In small business, when it comes to digital marketing, you have two options — spend the time to implement initiatives yourself or spend the money for someone else to do it.
Most small business owners are happy to do the work themselves, but lack the time to learn what needs done and how to do it. That's why we developed small business training and consulting solutions to cut the learning curve for small business marketers.
We keep costs manageable by offering these two services:
- The SageRock System — Group Consulting, Training Videos and Free Digital-Marketing Implementation Tools at $99/month. Or Group Consulting Only $49/month.
- CMO Sage — One-on-One, Weekly Text and Call Consulting at $99/month.
The SageRock System was born after we noticed our small business leads had many of the same challenges in digital marketing. We realized many solutions could be implemented affordably in house if they could just pay to learn what they needed to do. Since our hourly rate is a little too steep for many, we realized scheduled group consulting could solve both the learning curve and budget issues these potential clients faced. So The SageRock System came to be. It is a centralized database of training material and weekly group consulting sessions held virtually on Wednesday mornings. The subscription also includes access to high-end implementation tools that make web design, marketing and tracking leads easy.
But some people don't want to be fenced into a group schedule and don't need our Raven Tools software subscription for implementation assistance. For those short on time and looking for more custom solutions, we offer a weekly CMO Sage service, where clients can have one-on-one 30 min weekly calls with a marketing expert and unlimited text message Q&As. These clients are also welcome to take advantage of The SageRock System group consulting and video library.
If either of these sounds like what you need to stay on track with digital marketing in 2016, go to The SageRock System or CMOSage.com for more information, or email or call [email protected] / 330-379-9000.

Johannesburg - Chad le Clos has set a new world record in the men's 200m butterfly short course to open his Swimming World Cup challenge in style in Eindhoven, Netherlands, on Wednesday.
Le Clos was in a league of his own as he raced out front, chasing the world mark of 1 minute 49:11 seconds, and setting a new world record mark of 1:49:04.
He rose to fame by beating the famous Michael Phelps in the long course 200m butterfly at the Olympics in London last year.
It was a night which belonged to the small group of South Africans in Eindhoven, with teammate Myles Brown showing improvement as he tackled the men's 400m freestyle.
Brown closed the gap on favourite Yannick Agnel (France) and eventually ended in second place only 0.16 behind in 3:37:91 - breaking the African and South African records set in 2004 by Ryk Neethling by a clear two seconds.
The evergreen Roland Schoeman stood up and delivered, starting off with a victory in the men's 50m breaststroke, clocking a fast 25:85.
The 33-year-old followed this with a silver in the 50m butterfly, clocking 22:22, ahead of Le Clos, who took third place in 22:62.

I'm currently planning to purchase a server for our MySQL database. I'm deciding whether to get an Intel 2 x quad core Core2Duo processor or 2 x dual core Xeon. Any feedback will be appreciated.
There are no quad core processors in the Core2Duo line. The quad core line is Core2Quad, and you cannot put more than one processor on the same motherboard from that line of processors.
A good quad core is the Q9550 aka X3360 which runs on LGA775, only one per motherboard, but if you want to get more power from a single quad core you can go with an X3460 which runs on LGA1136 motherboards and requires DDR3 RAM but is faster than the Q9550 even though the clockrate is slightly lower.
Setting up 2 dual core processors seems like a waste of cash, since you'll be paying for both the processors as well as a motherboard with 2 sockets instead of a single processor and a single socket motherboard.

I am currently trying to build a small ecommerce store for a client using Woocommerce. The client requires that the site be available in both English and German, and WPML + Woocommerce Multilingual seems to be the way to go.
However, before I pass the plugin cost to the client, I need to know whether I need the Basic or the CMS version of WPML.
I have not been able to find this information anywhere, although I would say it's a rather vital piece of information and should be easier to find.
Any help would be very welcome

Note: I'm reposting this because my friends could use more visitors to their Canal du Midi vacation barge, so if anyone you know is looking for a truly unique French vacation experience, GET ON IT!
Mel and I bade our sad goodbyes to Hotel d'Europe in Avignon, and armed with pastries and coffee from our guardian angel Fernando, we set out for our next adventure. But first – a pit stop in my adopted hometown, Montpellier!
Mel met Ladybird, who gave her some much-needed snuggles; and Cal, who proudly showed off the city he's called home for more than 10 years. We walked through the Place de la Comedie and the Esplanade, and then took her on a tour of one of the oldest toy stores in France. Mel was thoroughly enchanted, and after a tasty lunch we were off again – this time to Colombiers, a small hamlet on the famous Canal du Midi in the Languedoc region.
After some helpful directions from an impossibly filthy mechanic on a forgotten street outside of town, we were greeted by my old friends Domi and Gwennie, and welcomed into – or rather, aboard – their home, Peniche Oz.

Service & Justice in Action – Trinity's Spirituality
At Trinity, we believe education and faith/spirituality are transforming powers. Through education, we come to understand the issues and context of poverty. Through the values of faith/spirituality, we are invited personally and communally to work for justice. The stage is set for action, for making a difference for the world in which we live.
As we grow academically, we gain knowledge and people skills, experience cultural and socioeconomic diversity, and grow in personal awareness and compassion. We become more aware of our role as global citizens. We become the "advocates for justice, peace and reverence of all human life" (adapted from Empowered by the Spirit #73, A letter about Campus Ministry from the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops, 1985.).
We hope to form a habit of serving and doing justice that not only reaches out to individuals but to communities as well.
We build relationships over time with service agencies both near and far. Often we share a common vision and sometimes a joint project. We stand with our service partners in solidarity working for a common good. Many of our efforts happen here in Ward 5 while other programs take us to vital partner locations, like THEARC in Southeast.
Whether the project is a one time event, a semester-long weekly commitment or an ongoing project that spans several years, our students gain experience and social analysis skills. The lessons learned about the issues surrounding poverty, the day-to-day lives of the poor, and one's own gifts for making a difference are life-changing.
Sustainable Idealism
Not only do we educate ourselves about those we serve, their issues and the roots of poverty and injustice, we prepare our hearts to welcome them in. A ministry of accompaniment is more fruitful when we are spiritually sound: we seek spiritual peace, strength, and guidance from our Creator so that we can walk with vulnerable populations, serving them with love and grace.
In our walk with others as we volunteer, we create a sacred space for them in our hearts, a place where God him/herself is welcome. You can't see or touch this sacred space: it is the spiritual quality that we bring to our work sites. This is the spirit of hospitality, the open heart inviting other people in.
Volunteers sometimes need someone to talk to after they serve others–they have unresolved questions, maybe some anger, or a desire to share their stories. At Campus Ministry, we encourage student volunteers to gather–to talk, to blog, to encourage one another. Let your light shine brightly, but don't burn out! Talk with the people you work with–the supervisor at the worksite–with the campus minister (Lynn Myrick), your advisor, resident coordinator, professor, another student volunteer–someone who will listen and understand. Volunteering experiences are not easy to process, but the rewards of self-growth and new awareness, as well as the joy of serving and encountering vulnerable populations, are exponential and last a lifetime.
Campus Ministry pursues justice through
- weekly service opportunities
- an Alternative Spring Break service trip (ASB)
- community based learning (Cunneen Fellowships)
- alumnae/i presentations on social justice initiatives ("Sower's Seed" Lecture)
- advocacy projects

"Don't shield them," she said. "They're going to be paying loans back for 25 years, so they need to know it matters."

Does the epsilon-delta definition require that the function $f$ is defined to map from $\mathbb R \rightarrow \mathbb R$? Would it be the same to define $f: \mathbb Q \rightarrow \mathbb Q$?
The concept of limit is defined for any topological space (i.e. a set of sets that are called open and satisfy the properties you'd expect from open sets. This is a very generalized representation of space). The epsilon-delta definition works for any metric space (i.e. a set of points with a function to measure distances between those points in a way that makes sense). So, yes, a limit is defined for $\mathbb{Q}$ as well for a large number of other objects.

The Appearance of Google-USG Conflicts of Interest GrowsSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2015-03-25 11:03

FTC-Googlegate Scandal Repercussions in EU & U.S.Submitted by Scott Cleland on Fri, 2015-03-20 04:00
Previously unknown facts about the FTC staff's 2011 Google search bias investigation have the makings of a potential scandal and cover-up with broad repercussions for Google with the European Commission, other countries, the FTC, State AGs and Congress.
The WSJ gained inadvertent access to the FTC's 2011 staff report about its investigation of Google's search practices. FTC staff concluded: Google abused its monopoly power in search and search advertising; harmed Internet users and competitors; and manipulated its search results by favoring its own content over competitors' content.

Breaking Privacy Promises is How Google Works - New Student Privacy PledgeSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Thu, 2015-01-22 11:12
Google quietly signed the U.S. Student Privacy Pledge, which makes its new privacy representations legally enforceable by the FTC and State Attorneys General.
This is a much-under-appreciated, high-risk decision for Google because its new student privacy commitments conflict with Google's Apps for Education contracts with schools, and it is antithetical to Google's longstanding business model, practices, and privacy track record.
Google may already be breaking this privacy promise because it is "How Google Works" -- as you will learn below.
Deceptive Branding is "How Google Works" – Ask EC Law EnforcementSubmitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2015-01-07 17:28
As EC law enforcement confronts Google's uniquely extensive wrongdoing in competition, privacy/security, property, and tax matters, it is critical to examine if Google's longstanding public promises to consumers to gain their trust are in fact true and trustworthy.
Central to law enforcement's role in determining the extent of its Google charges, penalties and remedies is determining whether or not the infractions were willful or unintentional.

I'm a big fan of Second Coming novelsOnly Begotten Daughter by James Morrow is a particular favorite, and this one looks cheesily delicious. If any used bookstores in town have this on their shelf right now and available for purchase, please let me know. I will love you forever.
UPDATE: Bookstoregirl, in the comments, found the book and had it put on hold for me at Twice Sold Tales. I just dragged my lazy ass to the bookstore and bought it. In conclusion, I will love both Bookstoregirl and Twice Sold Tales Forever.

First of all, I have searched this forum and Google extensively before posting this question :-)
When I change the font of the names of my pages by changing the heading using: '<h1> </h1>', for example of the page "About" (http://www.martijnboersma.com/about/), something unwanted occurs with the site navigation shown before the content: "Browse/About". The font of the "About" page changes correctly, but it also changes in site navigation and "About" jumps from after the forward slash to underneath "Browse".
- Can I change the font of the page name without changing the font in the site navigation? (Probably not :-p)
- Can I change the entire site navigation part before the content to the new font, and how do I make sure the text shown stays aligned.
Thanks a bunch!

Paul Weiss Heavyweights Get Smacked by Judge in Perelman Case
The litigation between Revlon chairman Ron Perelman and his former father-in-law, Robert Cohen, has been, from the get-go, a hard fought affair handled by expensive lawyers who didn't just fall off the old turnip truck.
But last week, a New Jersey judge told the lawyers for Perelman — a group headed by heavyweights Ted Wells and Marty Flumenbaum (pictured) at Paul Weiss that they'd fought a little too hard. Judge Ellen Koblitz granted Cohen's motion for sanctions, finding that Perelman, repped by Paul Weiss and Lowenstein Sandler, had filed a frivolous claim.
New Jersey judge Ellen Koblitz ordered Paul Weiss and Lowenstein Sandler to pay Cohen's fees and costs for opposing the claim and set a hearing for July 8 to determine the amount. Click here for a transcript from last week's court hearing. Koblitz's opinion begins on page 95.
The backstory is laid out in this piece from earlier in the year by Fortune's James Bandler. Click here, also, for a story on the sanctions out Tuesday in the New York Law Journal.
The original lawsuit, filed by Perelman against Cohen, claimed that half of Cohen's money should, upon his death, go to the estate of Claudia Cohen, Robert Cohen's daughter and Perleman's late wife, who died of cancer in 2007. Robert Cohen had amassed a fortune through his family's ownership of Hudson News, a newspaper distribution company.
In his suit, Perelman alleged that Cohen had long before promised to leave half of his and his wife's estate to Claudia. He also alleged that James Cohen, Claudia's brother, had been plotting to cut the share due to go to the estate by exerting "undue influence" over his father, who was in frail health.
Perelman had alleged that the promise made by Robert to Claudia was oral.
Cohen, represented by Bob Gold at Wilson Sonsini, moved to dismiss the claim. The judge on the case at the time denied the motion and sent the case to discovery with the stipulation that Perelman and Paul Weiss faced "significant hurdles," given that New Jersey law finds oral promises to be unenforceable unless they were made before 1978.
Ultimately, the evidence didn't satisfy Judge Koblitz. Last June, after a trial, she ruled for Cohen on the issue of the alleged oral promise. Shortly thereafter, she dismissed all of Perelman's other claims.
Last week, Koblitz granted Cohen's request for sanctions, finding frivilous the claim that Cohen had promised Claudia a share equal to what her brother James was to receive. To Koblitz, it didn't make sense that Cohen would prior to 1978 have promised James and Claudia equal shares without mentioning another sibling, Michael, who died in 1997.
Wrote Koblitz:
[Plaintiff alleges] Robert Cohen made clear and definite promises to Claudia Cohen that upon his death she would receive an equal share to that of her brother James Cohen of his future estate. And, frankly, I find that to be ridiculous. Because to say that Robert prior to 1978 would say to Claudia, you're going to get the same as James and not mention Michael, is only put forth because Michael died in 1997 and it wouldn't be helpful to say that Robert had promised the same as Michael.
. . .
The amended complaint was frivolous and award calculated to serve the deterrent purpose of the rule will be made against plaintiffs' lawyers . . . who will share in liability in much the same way as lawyers working in the same firm."
Brad Karp, the chairman of Paul Weiss, issued the following statement after the ruling: "We firmly believe that the representation we provided our clients throughout this case was appropriate in all respects and we intend to appeal the lower court's ruling."
A call to Zulima Farber, a lawyer from Lowenstein Sandler who also represented Perelman and was sanctioned, was not returned. A spokeswoman for the firm said, "We are disappointed by and respectfully disagree with the court's decision."

The Center of the Worldby Andreas Steinhofel
View All Available Formats & Editions
Seventeen-year-old Phil has felt like an outsider as long as he can remember. All Phil has ever known about his father is that he was Number Three on his mother's long list—third in a series of affairs that have set Phil's family even further apart from the critical townspeople across the river. As for his own sexuality, Phil doesn't care what the neighbors will think; he's just waiting for the right guy to come along.
But Phil can't remain a bystander forever. Not when he's surrounded by his mother, Glass, who lives by her own rules and urges Phil to be equally strong; his sister, Dianne, who is abrupt and willful, with secrets to share; his uncle Gable, a restless mariner, defined by his scars; his best friend, Kat, who is generous but possessive. And finally, there is distant Nicholas, with whom Phil falls overwhelmingly in love—until he faces the ultimate betrayal and must finally find his worth . . . and place in the world.

Read an Excerpt
I never even saw most of the men Glass had affairs with. They used to come to Visible late at night, when Dianne and I were fast asleep. Then doors would slam and unknown voices would penetrate our dreams. In the morning we used to find telltale signs of their existence: a warm mug of hastily gulped coffee abandoned on the kitchen table; a toothbrush wrapper in the bathroom, crumpled carelessly and dropped on the floor. Sometimes it was no more than a sleepy aroma hanging in the air like a strange shadow.
Once it was the telephones. Dianne and I had spent the weekend with Tereza, and when we got home, there were the phones in our bedrooms, connected to newly laid cables, and the plaster still damp on the walls. Glass had pulled an electrician.
"Now each of us has our own phone," she stated smugly, with Dianne on her left arm and me on her right. "Isn't that fantastic? Don't you think it's terribly American?"
I'm sprawled on my bed when the telephone rings. The July heat has wiped me out--even at night it crawls through the rooms and passages like a tired animal, looking for a place to bed down. I know who it is--I've been waiting for this call for the past three weeks. Kat (her name is Katja, but apart from her parents and some of the teachers, no one calls her by her full name) is back from holiday.
"I'm back again, Phil," she shrieks down the line.
"Sounds like it. How was it?"
"A nightmare, and stop grinning, I can tell you are! I'm suffering from parental abuse, and that island was the absolute pits, you can't imagine. I want to see you."
I look at my watch. "In half an hour on the castle hill?"
"I'd have died if you'd said no."
"Join the club. I've been bored out of my mind the last three weeks."
"Listen, I need a bit, longer--about an hour? I've got to unpack."
"No problem."
"Can't wait to see you. . . . Phil?"
"I missed you."
"Didn't miss you."
"Thought so. Asshole!"
I put down the phone and stay lying on my back, blinking at the blinding white ceiling for the next quarter of an hour. The scent of cypress comes wafting in waves on the summer breeze through the open windows. I roll over and get out of the sweaty bed, grab boxer shorts and T-shirt, and pad along the creaking floorboards in the passage to the shower.
I hate the bathroom on this floor of the house. The door frame is so warped, you have to lean against the door with all your weight to get it open. Inside, you're met with broken black and white tiles, cracks in the ceiling, and flaking plaster. The antiquated plumbing takes three minutes before the water finally comes through. In the winter, the rusty boiler connected to it comes to life only after you've given it several hefty kicks. I turn on the tap, hear the familiar wheezing of the system, and once again regret that Glass never got involved with a plumber.
"For the sake of the plumbing?" she asked in astonishment when I once suggested how practical such a relationship could be. "What d'you take me for, darling--a hooker?"
Visible's architect must have been just as crazy as my aunt Stella, who discovered the house, already then in an advanced state of disrepair, a quarter of a century ago while on a trip to Europe. She fell in love with its southern charm, quite uncharacteristic of this part of the world, and promptly bought it. For peanuts, my little chick, she proudly wrote to Glass in America. I've even got some money left over for the essential repairs!
Stella was financially independent. Hers had been the classic career path of the American high school beauty, not thinking about the future until it was almost over and done with--early marriage, early divorce, overdue but relatively generous alimony payments. The money wasn't enough for Stella to live in great style, but it allowed for a life more or less free of financial worries. It was enough to buy Visible.
Surrounded by an extensive plot of land, Stella wrote, the house stood on a hill overlooking the edge of a tiny town on the other side of the river. The two-story façade with its colonnaded porch, the tiny bay windows and the tall casement windows, the innumerable gables and the battlemented roof were visible for all to see from a distance of miles. Seeking to give it an appropriately American name, she quite logically called the entire estate--the house, with its outhouses and garden sheds at the rear, as well as the huge garden bordering the wood, where life-sized statues of discolored sandstone stood about like lost souls--by the name Visible. It soon became evident that the money left over from the purchase was barely enough to cover the merest fraction of the renovation costs. The masonry was crumbling, the roof leaked in several places, and the garden was a jungle.
In its dilapidated state, Visible seems to be waiting and dreaming of better times, wrote Stella in one of her increasingly rare letters to Boston. And the residents of the town seem to be waiting too. They don't like this house. The tall windows scare them. And d'you know why, little one? Because you only have to see these windows from afar to know and feel they call for a broader view of the world.
I grew up with photos of Stella, countless snaps that Glass had dug out from her sister's papers a few months after her death and put up all around the house. They are everywhere: in the dark entrance hall, up the staircase, in almost every room. In their cheap frames they hang there like kitschy religious images, propped up on wobbly chests of drawers and tables, crowding on windowsills and window seats.
My favorite portrait of Stella shows her angular suntanned face. She had large, clear eyes and a lot of laugh lines. It's the only photo where my aunt looks soft and vulnerable. All the other pictures show a mixture of childish defiance and stormy provocation. These make Stella look like glowing steel tempered in fire.
Three days before Glass arrived at Visible, my aunt Stella's broad view on the world proved her undoing. She was cleaning the windows on the second floor when she fell to the drive below, where the postman found her next day. With her head resting on one arm and her legs slightly drawn up, she looked as if she was asleep. She had broken her neck. Later Glass found the cable she herself had wired from on board ship, and the draft of a reply her older, only sister had been unable to send. Baby, looking forward to you and your offspring. Love, Stella.
Stella's death affected Glass deeply. She had idolized her sister, even after she had left America. Their mother had died young of the Big C, as Glass put it, and their father had shown more interest in alcohol than in the fate of his daughters. The fact that both of them disappeared to Europe was met with drunken indifference. No one knew what had become of him. Once when I asked Glass about my grandfather, her curt reply was that the continent of America had swallowed him, and she hoped it would not spew him up again. After her initial mourning over Stella, she adopted a pragmatic attitude to her death. One of her favorite sayings was "As one door closes, another opens."

I'm having a hell of time understanding how to setup the 404 redirects with this plugin. What I noticed is that there were no redirects in the 404 group, so I created a Group (Redirects) there. I then added a Redirect to that group (with REGEX), but when I did this, it seems this redirect never takes affect, I still end up on 404 page. (yes, I've tried it without the REGEX, it still does not redirect, I always get the 404 page?).
From what I see here in other posts, if you do this, you lose 404 logging, is that correct?
Is there a basic strategy I should be using to assign my REGEX 404 pages to redirects? If so, can you please share exactly how you do it, and, do you still get to log 404's after it's done?
I love the redirects and how they work, but I'm struggling to understand why the 404's will not work properly. (btw - I have the Apache module off).

Caretaker Pleads Not Guilty in Tortured 4-Year-Old's Death
Prosecutors say murder charges are likely.
Kryzie King, the 27-year-old who was caring for 4-year-old Myls Dobson when he died in Manhattan last month, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to twelve felony and misdemeanor charges, including including first-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, and endangering the welfare of a child. Dobson was found unconscious in King's bathroom, and she claimed he fell from the counter after she briefly left the room. Police say she also admitted to "giving him corporal punishment," and more horrific details about the final weeks of Dobson's life were revealed at the arraignment.
Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg said that when King took custody of Dobson, he was "a happy, healthy and well-nourished little boy," but when police found him, "his lifeless body was bruised, burned and cut from head to toe."
The boy's cause of death has yet to be determined, but Blumberg told the judge, "all of the evidence suggests that Myls Dobson's death was caused by this defendant." The medical examiner said Dobson had injuries all over his body at multiple stages of healing, including distinct marks that match objects found in King's home.
Prosecutors said they are likely to charge King with murder when the investigation is complete, and the judge revoked her bail. King will undergo a psychiatric exam and is being held in the infirmary at Rikers Island.

Muhammed Muheisen, File, Associated Press
BEIRUT — Syria's main Western-backed opposition group said Monday that Iran must commit publicly within hours to withdraw its "troops and militias" from Syria and abide by a 2012 transitional roadmap, or else the U.N. should withdraw its invitation for Tehran to take part in a peace conference this week.
The Syrian National Coalition said if those conditions are not met by 7 p.m. GMT, then it will not attend the so-called Geneva 2 talks that are scheduled to begin Wednesday. The U.N. issued a last-minute invitation late Sunday to Iran, a close ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad, prompting the Coalition to threaten to skip the peace negotiations and throwing the entire Geneva conference into doubt.
The negotiations, which are intended to bring together the Syrian government and its opponents for the first face-to-face talks in the three-year uprising, aim to broker a political resolution to a conflict that has killed more than 130,000 people and touched off the worst humanitarian crisis in decades. Diplomats and political leaders acknowledge that the prospects of achieving such a lofty goal any time soon are slim at best.
Both the government and the opposition have suffered enormous losses, but even now, neither side appears desperate enough for a deal to budge from its entrenched position. At this point, just getting the antagonists into the same room to start what is expected to be a long process that could drag on for years would be perceived as a success.
But those hopes of at least getting the two sides to talk were up in the air again Monday over the invitation extended to Iran.
In its statement, the Coalition called on Iran to make a "clear public commitment" to withdraw all of its troops and militias from Syria and commit to all the terms of a 2012 roadmap for Syria agreed to by world powers that includes a transitional government with full executive powers. That roadmap is the basis for the Geneva talks.
"In case of failure to obtain the pledge, we ask Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon to withdraw the invitation to Iran. Otherwise, the Syrian Coalition will not be able to attend the Geneva 2 conference," the Coalition said.
Iran is Assad's strongest regional ally, and has supplied his government with advisers, money and materiel since the 2011 Syrian uprising began. The Islamic Republic's allies, most notably the Lebanese Shiite militant Hezbollah group, have also gone to Syria to help bolster Assad's forces.
The invitation to Tehran from the U.N. secretary-general came after the U.N. chief said he had received assurances from Iran that it accepted the premise of the talks — to establish a transitional government for Syria, which has been led by the Assad family since 1970.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Marzieh Afkham, was quoted by the official IRNA news agency Monday as saying that Iran will attend the Geneva 2 conference after it was invited, adding that it will not accept any preconditions. She did not elaborate.
Afkham later said doesn't recognize the transitional roadmap, known in diplomatic circles as Geneva I, because it was not part of the conference that drew it up.
"Given that Iran was not present and had no role in the Geneva I conference final statement, it doesn't recognize it," Afkham said in comments posted on Iranian state TV's website.
Saudi Arabia, a main backer of the Syrian opposition and a bitter regional rival of Tehran, said Iran should first approve the 2012 roadmap before being allowed to take part in the peace talks. "Iran is not qualified to attend because it did not declare this (accepting Geneva 1) and has forces on the ground," state-run Saudi Press Agency quoted an unnamed official as saying.
Invitations to the one-day meeting of foreign ministers at a Montreux hotel had been subject to approval by the initiating states, Russia and the United States, but the two countries had been at an impasse over Iran. The negotiations between the Syrian government and the opposition are slated to start Friday in Geneva.

Super fine Plugin.
I miss only one thing - a countdown timer that counts down to the estimated time of reopening after maintenance, and if this time is exceeded, says that the site is opened in a short time
I thought this plugin was great until I recently performed a database restore, now it doesn't function at all, but without error. Maintenance mode shows as active, front-end remains live.
Deleted, reinstalled, and updated plugin, same problems remains. Shame because the others maintenance modes look amateurish compared to this...when it works.
