Sorry, I was rereading this thread and see that I did not respond. Yes, I had symptoms, especially extreme thirst. At first, the Endo did not believe I was diabetic, but I did go low carb, anyway. Someone turned me on to Dr. Bernstein. After reading his book, I adjusted my diet to really be low carb, excluding high sugar vegetables. I could see the thirst coming and going with the rise and fall of sugars. My eyes used to water, and I was getting fuzzy thinking. My goodness, I started arguing my case for diabetes June 2009. It is now, Xmas time, 2011. My restriction on having to use my glasses for driving was *removed* a couple of months ago because good control removed a lot of symptoms. My last fasting glucose was 89, but I had four times as many GAD antibodies to say I was Type 1, or LADA. I am strict Dr. B low carber and do Zumba until I am soaked and red in the face. I must exercise hard to keep my numbers normal. I just started glucophage xr because I am experiencing slight elevations of 100-107 in the am, but it only brings it down to 95ish. I am 58yo with a lot of arthritis, so I actually have to alternate hard exercise with a recovery time because the pain will make my bg rise. I may be batttling rheumatoid. IDK,...I have antibodies for that going on, too. It's hard to keep a balance. I have a busy life....How did I know? My older dds health improved when they went gluten free. We are Irish. I got the genetic testing and knew the link between celiac and type 1. I reread the journal articles on LADA and could not believe that I had the common gene. It was more reason to trust myself. BTW, I was probably lower carb than most people before I was diabetic. It may be why I lasted so long. I had a precipitating factor. I had an adrenal tumor causing Cushing's. When I finally was off of all replacement cortsol, and my remaining adrenal gland was functioning, my body exploded with autoimmune. I feel that that pushed me over the edge. All those years of hypercorticolism kept the autoimmune suppressed. Surviving one disease and getting another motivates me to keep well. It was a Cushie, a nurse, who helped steer me on the right path. Otherwise, I would have no idea. One person changed my life. I can feel shifts in my bg in either direction. Because of being a Cushie, I am also very aware of diurnal rhythms of cortisol, which affects glycemic control. Does that answer your question?

I understand what the presence of a 2nd TE is supposed to accomplish. But when that guy is Hartsock or Mulligan, the threat of catching the ball is gone. And who is the 2nd TE now?
We've needed a TE who can catch AND block for like 4 years now. In lieu of that, might as well just put another blocker out there instead of a non-threat TE who can barely block.
Yeah you're right. I do like Cumberland and apparently Baker has been havin a good camp, I would really like to see some of these "heavy" packages like the op said. Sanchez needs time to throw.
People are saying how good luck was playing but I don't think they realize how much time he had to throw. When Sanchez gets the time to throw he looks like a pro bowler. I'm on my phone so I can't post the video but people need to watch the "Sanchez clutch highlights" on YouTube so we can stop hearing about how much he sucks. The only quarterbacks who don't need time to throw are the scramblers and just like tebow they usually aren't very good passers

Event Details
The Crist FamilyFriday, September 7, 2012 - Saturday, September 8, 2012 The Crist Family is one of the fastest rising family groups in gospel music today. The group began as a part-time ministry in 1987. In 2004, after seventeen years in ministry on the West Coast, God called them to full-time ministry. They stepped out in faith by quitting their jobs, selling all they had and relocating across the country from Seattle, Washington to just north of Knoxville, Tennessee. In just a few short years, God has opened the door for them to sing a message of hope to thousands of people. They have already ministered in 28 states and Canada. They have appeared at nearly every major event in gospel music including regular appearances on Main Stage at the National Quartet Convention. They signed a major recording contract with Horizon Records and were picked up by the industry leading Harper Agency for booking management. They have recorded seven CDs and two Live DVDs and have had amazing chart success with every song released to radio. In 2009, they won a Singing News Fan Award for Horizon Group of the Year. They have also had several Top 5 and Top 10 nominations, in categories including Favorite Soprano and Favorite Young Artist. |

Oil and gas development hurts local economies in long-run, study says
The resource curse is real -- and discernible even at the county level -- according to a new study from the non-profit research group Headwater Economics.
Researchers looked at more than 200 counties across six western states, and found that those with above-average oil and gas development over a long period of time had lower per capita incomes, less educational attainment and higher crime rates.
Co-author Patty Gude says while that runs counter to the assumption that resource development has positive economic impacts, it's not actually that surprising.
"People talk broadly about the existence of a quote-on-quote 'resource curse' that has to do with specializing in an industry at the exclusion of other forms of economic development," Gude says. "And so it's not a new concept that there could be economic costs of long-term specialization in a sector like oil and gas."
And Gude says Wyoming, which had the highest sustained rates of involvement in the oil and gas industry in the study, follows the pattern.
"From what I can see in the data, there doesn't really appear to be a single county in Wyoming that bucks the trend," she says.
The study has been submitted to the Journal of Energy for publication.

Major in Economics How can markets be used to promote sustainable development? What is the impact of China's new cooperative medical system? Do male and female professors differ with respect to salaries and research productivity? What effect did media coverage have on charitable giving after the 2004 tsunami? Has there been more social mobility in Britain or in the United States—and why does it matter? What are the lessons from NAFTA for Latin America and the Caribbean? To what extent do changes in housing wealth affect consumption? These are just some of the interesting questions addressed by Colby's economics faculty in recent publications. As an economics student at Colby, you will have ample opportunity to assist professors with their work and to conduct independent research of your own via honors theses. In the Colby Economics Department we prepare you to answer some of the most important policy questions by building a solid theoretical foundation. This foundation is laid out in our two-semester introductory sequence and the two intermediate theory classes. Courses such as Public Finance, Presidential Economics, Industrial Organization, Economic Development, or the Evolution of the Global Economy broaden the scope of economic analysis. Students are encouraged to strengthen their technical skills with classes in econometrics and mathematical economics. Skills are further honed in the demanding senior seminars, the major's capstone experience. All these skills prove particularly useful in designing and executing independent research projects, honors theses, and senior scholar theses. Some of the topics students analyzed in 2008-09 include: "Examining Hospital Choice in Rural China: An Empirical Analysis," "The Effect of Free Trade Agreements on Women's Wages, Employment, and Labor Force Participation: The Case of NAFTA in Mexico," "Stock Market Crashes in the S&P 500: Was the Downturn of 1973–74 Really a Crash?," "Predicting Presidential Elections," and "The Effect of Natural Disasters on Vulnerability: The Indonesian Forest Fires in 1997." Both faculty and students are involved in substantive work off Mayflower Hill. During the January Term students may explore internships in the business and policy arenas. Recent students held a host of internships from Merrill Lynch in New York to The Hoffman Agency in Hong Kong. Another Jan Plan alternative is to participate in one of the department's newest courses, "Made in China," which provides opportunities to visit factories, schools, and government agencies on-site in China. Many of our majors choose to study abroad during the junior year, at universities that include the prestigious London School of Economics. Colby's Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement presents opportunities for internship and service learning from Waterville to Washington and beyond. Our faculty specialists on China, Brazil, Britain, and Spain present papers at conferences worldwide. Colby professors provide expert advice to the Federal Reserve, the Department of Justice, the International Labor Organization, and the World Bank—experiences that enliven and enrich our classrooms. The Colby economics faculty has a national reputation for research and a commitment to excellence in undergraduate education. In a comparison of publication citations, we were recently ranked sixth in the nation among elite liberal arts institutions. The close contact between faculty and students is particularly apparent in the degree of involvement of students in faculty research. Each year the department hires about twelve students as research assistants to work with faculty. Several of these research projects have resulted in jointly authored publications. These opportunities, normally reserved for graduate students in larger schools, encourage scholarly development among our talented undergraduates. Economics majors go on to exciting careers in business, government, law, and the nonprofit sector. The Economics Department's reputation for rigorous training leads to good jobs in consulting, information management, manufacturing, and public service, as well as on Wall Street. For example, recent graduates are working in economics consulting firms (NERA, CRA International, and Accenture), in research associate positions (Congressional Budget Office and Brookings Institution), and as analysts and traders with several major firms (Citigroup, Barclays Capital, Cowen and Co.). A number of students are pursuing graduate school or plan to in the near future. And finally, one recent graduate conducted survey research in Mongolia, Mauritania, Mali, and Argentina, as a recipient of the prestigious Watson Fellowship. We are very excited about the accomplishments of recent majors and we look forward to working with new groups of economics students.

11/29/2010 - The Pew Financial Reform Project hosted a reception on Monday, November 29th 2010 with the University of Maryland Smith School of Business and the National Science Foundation to mark the establishment of the Office of Financial Research and to release a National Science Foundation Workshop Report on Knowledge Representation for Financial Information Management.President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law on July 21, 2010. The act created an Office of Financial Research (OFR) and a Data Center (OFR/DC) with the mandate to establish a sound data management infrastructure for systemic-risk monitoring.Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) was a key sponsor of the OFR and presented remarks at the reception.The report describes the discussions flowing from the workshop, including topics such as financial and operational risk management, networks and data integrity and security.More than 50 invited academic researchers, financial regulators, and industry practitioners participated in the event, hosted in July 2010 by the Smith School, the Pew Charitable Trusts and the National Science Foundation. The participants brought diverse perspectives and expertise in economics, computer science, finance, and information science, creating an intentionally interdisciplinary discussion.Click here to view the entire report.

Rwanda Tours
Rwanda has been slowly coming back on the traveller's radar and now there's a chance to really explore this once war-torn country. Of course the obvious attraction is to go in search of the magnificent and rare mountain gorillas on a Rwanda gorilla safari and this is an experience you will never forget. To see these endangered species in their natural habitat is simply awe-inspiring, and the Virunga Conservation Area brings a diverse and verdant backdrop to this very special encounter.
Other highlights include a community visit to the Iby'Iwacu Cultural Village where you can engage in local life, tradition and culture, discovering the majestic scenery at the twin lakes Burera and Ruhondo, and not forgetting a visit to the 1994 Genocide Memorial Site in Kigali.

MVP- September 2009 (Museum Volunteer Program)
We had a great time at MVP Saturday. There were 20 JHS members that brought their favorite reptile out for all the visitors at the MOSH to see and enjoy. The kids were so excited to see live reptiles up close and to be able to touch and hold them. The MVP is a great opportunity for our Herp Society to educate the public about reptiles. I, myself, always enjoy being a part of the MVP and I would like to invite more members to come out and bring their favorite reptiles and join the fun! The MVP is the second Saturday of each month from 10 AM until 3 PM. Come anytime you can and stay as long as you want. I know you will enjoy it! Bring whatever you like or nothing but yourself. You can always be of help just talking to the museum visitors. PLEASE, NO VENOMOUS ANIMALS!
We must keep this program alive. It is an excellent way to promote our society and to educate the general public about reptiles. Please do your share and attend a few MVP days each year.

Google Adjusts WebM License
When Google announced the initial release of WebM — its collaborative drive to create a new open video format for HTML5 — there was much excitement within the Open Source community. Amid the excitement, however, was concern about the project's licensing, concern that quickly led to calls for change.
On Friday, Google announced that, in response to the community's concerns, a "small change" was made to WebM's license, restoring the "pure BSD nature" of the license as well as GPL compatibility. The change modifies the license's patent clause to reflect the GPL3 and Apache patent clauses, which separate rights to patents from rights to copyright. Under the original license, anyone bringing patent litigation against Google would have surrendered all rights granted by the license — the new language clarifies that only patent rights would be terminated, the same penalty incurred under the GPL3 and Apache licenses.
Google's Open Source Programs Manager Chris DiBona noted that in making the change, the company has avoided creating a new Open Source license, a practice which many consider harmful to Open Source in general. Additionally, Google updated other portions of the license and supporting documentation to clarify the license terms and the rights granted under it.

Yay!! We really need this to fix the online video problem.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

Is Dual Core Enough?
Is a dual core processor in a phone enough in the long run? Phones are coming out with quad cores now... Which is amazing and great but say in the GSIII would that phone and its accompanied processor last with the development of new apps and updated OS versions?

Re: Is Dual Core Enough?
OK if dual core is enough for the future, what about storage?
Is it worth buying a 32 GB storage vs 16 GB, In over two years of ownership my SD card has less the 1GB on it. That being said these new phones offer lots of new services, but cloud storage is now available, but are there reasons I do not know about which would lead me to get the 32 GB version? - 11-05-2012, 05:06 PM #6

He represented the USA at the 1991 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Italy, where he scored a goal against China and helped the team win the group. Montoya talks about how that experience molded his life and his coaching style, as well as how valuable this tournament is for his young charges.

A Happy supporter of Indie comics and B-list heroes
Check out the Death to Comics Podcast...if you dare
This is such a tremendous book. I'm still a little behind on it (just finished the story that Matt Kindt drew), but it's absolutely one of my favorite series. I'll be said to see it go but I'm looking forward to what I expect will be a tremendous ending.
Wonderful book. Would you rather see it collected as Deluxe HC's or an Invisibles-style omnibus?
Is this title worth picking up in trade? I have always heard good things about it but don't know what it is about.
It is absolutely worth picking up in whatever format you can get your hands on. Without going into any spoilers, it takes place in a world where a world-wide plague has decimated society and caused strange animal/human hybrids to start popping up. The main character is Gus, a boy with antlers who had been hidden to keep safe, but wanders out into the world after his father passes away, and starts getting swept up in the action. I wouldn't say it's slow exactly, but it does have a very deliberate and precise pacing that takes some getting used to. I highly recommend you give the whole first story arc a shot before making a judgment on it.
Like everyone else, I'm sad to see it go but so happy it gets to go out on its own terms.
Not at all crazy. Snyder and Lemire mentioned at NYCC how they discussed the possibility of swapping artists for their titles but nothing more than discussions were at that stage. There are only four issues of ST left and AV is currently telling an important story arc so I doubt it will happen. Although, I would still love to see Lemire do the art for an arc in AV.
I remember Lemire saying numerous times during interviews (as well as in person at NYCC) how the title will go "30 to 40 issues." So while I'm sad it's ending, it's ending exactly how he wants it to end. I'm always happy to hear a title is "ending" as opposed to "cancelled."

Before there was Donovan's Brain, there was Donovan's Outline, a weblog created with the OPML Editor. Over on my outline, I'm talking about Dave's new aggregator tool, newsRiver, which is really cool. Makes me realize how much I miss the simplicity of reading rss feeds in this format. I've been reading my feeds in NetNewsWire, a three paned environment. It sure is nice in there but the drop dead, bare bones, flowing river format offered up by newsRiver is starting to puddle around my feet, allowing peace of mind. And I like it.

I still haven't found an answer to this elsewhere so I'm hoping I'll get more luck here :-)
1) I need to sort jpgs from RAW files in LR4 but can find no way of doing it.
2) I need a wayto show only jpgs but, again, can't see how it's done.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks! It took me half an hour to find the search so I didn't have much hope with jpgs!
As an add-on question: For some reason LR4, having imported the previous catalogs, won't show the previews that are on the external server when it is switched off. Should I rebuild the whole catalog from scratch hoping that it will cache the image previews?

Small and large butterflies float down a path leading to an open field at sunset in a painting meant to instill hope in the survivors of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
On the mural local students created, 20 small butterflies represent the children lost, and six larger butterflies represent the adults.
Art students from Shoreham-Wading River High School spent four months painting a mural, with the words "Hope, Love, Dream" at the bottom, to provide comfort to students affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy in Newtown, Conn. on Dec. 14.

SOCIAL: @brittanywait | @NewsdayTowns | Google+
Senior Emma Stoll was among the eight advanced placement studio art students to use acrylic paints to create the inspired piece.
"We wanted the pathway leading to a beautiful sunset to act as a symbol of hope," said Stoll, 18, of Wading River.
Their art teacher Shannon Lustig said it was a long process, but well worth it. Now that the mural is finished, Lustig said she is working out details on how to donate it to the Sandy Hook School Parent-Teacher Association, whether by mail or in person.
"These kids worked two hours after school and on Sundays for months," said Lustig, 33, of Coram. "I'm really proud of them and I'm happy we could create something so positive out of something so negative."
Jennifer Taylor, vice president of the Sandy Hook School PTA, doesn't yet have a plan of where to hang the mural, but is extremely grateful for the meaningful gift to students.
"We are incredibly thankful and appreciative of the support and thoughtfulness of communities like Shoreham and others who have reached out to us with such displays of kindness," Taylor said.
Senior Breslynn Naso said each art student involved created at least one butterfly to make them all unique.
"It's so uplifting to see what this has turned into," said Naso, 17, of Shoreham. "We hope kids from Sandy Hook Elementary look at the painting hanging at their new school and feel at peace."
Senior Breanna Baichan had never created a painted mural before this.
"I'm glad our artwork can do some healing," said Baichan, 17, of Shoreham. "We want our message 'to have hope, love always and dream forever' to reach these kids."

Sunday 5:45PM Update: Volunteers Wrap Up Day of Searching for Two Missing GirlsKCRG/Gazette/Waterloo Courier Staff Reports
EVANSDALE, Iowa - The volunteer search in Evansdale for two girls who went missing Friday afternoon has wrap up for the day, authorities announced at 4:45 p.m. Sunday.
Searchers are looking for Lyric Cook-Morrissey, 10, of Waterloo and her 8-year-old cousin Elizabeth Collins of Evansdale. The girls were last seen riding bikes near downtown Evansdale just off Lafayette Road at 12:15 p.m. Friday. Their bicycles were located about four hours later on the southeast corner of Meyers Lake along the bike trail. Officials have not yet determined if the volunteer search will resume Monday. The search party swelled to about 1,100 Sunday afternoon, officials said. Keeping volunteers and emergency workers safe as they trudged through timber, cornfields and river edges was a top priority for medical personnel. Heat-related problems were a concern with temperatures soaring past 90 degrees. Medical officials at the Evansdale Community Response Center, the search headquarters, said nobody was seriously injured or became ill. "A few people have overheated but nothing to take to a hospital. They just needed some rest and water," said Daniel Kreger, an Evansdale firefighter and ambulance driver. Making people take breaks to stay healthy, though, was difficult at times. Search coordinators said people don't want to sit when two young girls can't be found. "It's so common sense stuff, but people want to help so badly," said Melissa Oltman, a nurse practitioner from Grundy Center, manning the first-aid tent. Several people have suffered a myriad of minor injuries, officials said. Oltman said they have treated cuts, scraps, a few twisted ankles and bloody noses. Bumps and bruises are also common. On Saturday, Kreger said a volunteer suffered a seizure while searching in Deerwood Park. An ambulance was dispatched. The person quickly recovered, she said. Oltman said dehydration was the biggest enemy. Search coordinators made sure plenty of water and sports drinks accompanied groups as they scoured remote areas in Evansdale and beyond. Medical personnel were keeping a close eye for signs of heat stress among volunteers --- dizziness, too little or too much sweating and people feeling lethargic. When search parties returned to the CRC, they were told to drink plenty of fluids, get a bite to eat and rest in the shade. Local people and businesses have donated pallets of water, tons of ice and truckloads of food for the effort. The Grundy Center Fire Department brought its John Deere Gator equipped with medical supplies and a backboard. "That's the reason we have it is to get to places an ambulance can't," said Terry Oltman, a Grundy Center policeman, firefighter and paramedic. "We used it (Saturday) to get person with a twisted ankle at the edge of a cornfield." Besides the heat and injuries, search group leaders warned people that ticks are especially bad this year. About 60 people searched around the BMC Aggregates sand pits a few miles northwest of Gilbertville Sunday afternoon. While tromping through the timber, Jeremy Riesberg of Evansdale said his wellbeing was the least of his worries. "It's (safety) not an issue," he said. "There are two missing girls."

Bucs, Josh Freeman saga
Josh Freeman is poised to sign with the Minnesota Vikings, vaulting from the hapless Tampa Bay Bucs lineup to one of the NFL's more competitive teams.
Freeman's agent, Erik Burkhardt, broke the news on Twitter late Sunday night.
NFL.com reported Freeman reached a one-year agreement with the Vikings worth about $3 million. With the compensation he receives from the Bucs, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Freeman will end up making about $11.43 this year.
Freeman's great escape from the Bucs soap opera that included a series of jabs lobbied back and forth with embattled Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano could be bad news for Christian Ponder.
Ponder, the former Florida State standout quarterback, was supposed to be the franchise leader for the Vikings, but he has struggled at times and missed Week 4 due to a fractured rib.
ESPN.com reports Ponder is still listed as the Vikings' starter, but no timeline has been listed for his return from the rib injury.
Since Freeman was courted by a variety of teams once he released by the Bucs, many analysts are speculating he likely was assured he'd get the starting job in Minnesota before agreeing to a deal.

Mike Lowell postgame interview
Red Sox infielder impressed with Ortiz-Ramirez combo
Talk about Josh Beckett, and how has he changed in the years you've played with him in Florida until now.
Can you talk a little bit about Manny and David Ortiz tonight, 10 for 10 on base. Have you ever seen anything like it?
Your big inning today started with Julio starting the double. How important is it at the bottom of the order to get on base?
If you go back to the end of the regular season and now the playoffs, you've gone up against some pretty good pitchers and knocked them out a little earlier than expected, 5th, 6th inning and today Sabathia, and then tomorrow Carmona. I think people said hitting might have been one of the issues the Red Sox had. What's happening right now?
Back in 2003 in the postseason you had some issues that didn't allow you to perform as you, I'm sure, would have liked to. How gratifying and pleasing is it for you to be able to get off to a start like this in the postseason?

The D800E is identical to the D800, save for the different configuration of the sensor's low-pass filter. It's designed to bypass the filter's antialiasing properties and thus produce sharper raw images. Then you have to process the photo in software to remove the artifacts the filter normally takes care of. Like the D4, the right shoulder features a more dramatic slope than previous models, and the front dial is tilted upward for easier operation--my finger has always gotten a little caught on that red swoosh.

TinyMCE - howto image without surrounding div
2 March 2009 at 4:16am
can someone please explain howto insert an image with TinyMCE without getting a div block surrounding the image tag?

Unfortunately the option "alignment / style" doesn`t include a "just image" style.
I tried to make my own style but i was not able to find the correct TinyMCE configuration to make my own. Where can I add my own styles to have a clean image integration without any other elements?
Thanks much!

you will need to edit jsparty/tiny_mce_improvements.js
between line 528 and 547.

do you use SS 2.3 oder an SS 2.3 RC version?
i already posted this problem: http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/3460you could go into the HTML editor of the CMS and remove the DIV tag arround the IMG.. then the alignment works again.
they made this div tag to have the option to add a caption to the picture i think.
you can read the TicketLog.. they are discussing about this problemSalvaStripe

This was the first thing I noticed when trying out SilverStripe and it nearly drove me nuts, not being able to center an image... I can edit the HTML easily but no editor I know could. I modified the code in the place pinkdigital mentioned so that the div is only inserted if a caption is actually written. If there's no caption just the img tag gets inserted. Here it is:
* Insert an image with the given attributes
ssInsertImage: function(ed, attributes, cssClass, withCaption) {
el = ed.selection.getNode();var imageContainerClass = withCaption ? 'captionImage' : 'image';
var imgOnly = '';
var imgDivv = '
';
var captDiv = '
' + attributes.title + '
';if(withCaption && attributes.title != "") {
html = imgDivv + captDiv;
html += "
";
html = imgOnly;
}It is still not perfect as a captioned image can still not be positioned away fron left-aligned but it's a start. One would probably only have to to add a surrounding div that's set to 100%. I'll give it a try later and see if that works.

hey guys,
everytime I edit the html code i get a
 tag surrounding the img tag. If i delete the
 and save the tinymce text it is still there.... strange. For me this is a problem because i want to give every paragraph padding and now those images also get it. Any idea?
@silvernick - thanks for your code snippet... I couldn`t get it work .. perhaps you can be more specific where to replace the lines...or post the complete tiny_mce_improvements.js ? thanks much in advance!
Wouldn`t it be a perfect solution in general to add an Alignment / style "image only" within the TinyMCE Image window?

Did you get it working that you could insert an image without the surrounding paragraph-tag?
I have the same problem as well and could not find it in the tiny_mce_improvements.js.Toni

I know this is an old topic, but I'd like content editors to be able to insert an image without having a paragraph tag wrapping it. This is more for cleanliness of markup more than anything else.
Any ideas?
Re: TinyMCE - howto image without surrounding div
10 December 2010 at 11:26pm
I don't get the problem why a image should not get wrapped in a paragraph...
If you need to insert an image which is non-floating then you need proper padding/margin to not mess with typography and text layout. The paragraph tag will do this for you since every text block is/should be wrapped in a paragraph.
On the other hand if you need an floating image then you should insert the image directly in the paragraph where the image can float around the text.However, you can disable the automatic paragraph via HTMLEditorConfig but this is simply nonsense and imho bad style of coding.

Beginnings The Open Society Institute (OSI) was founded in 1993 by the multibillionaire hedge-fund manager George Soros. When Soros attended the London School of Economics (LSE) beginning in 1947, he was exposed to the works of the Viennese-born philosopher Karl Popper, who taught at LSE, and whom Soros would later call his "spiritual mentor."1 Most notably, Popper's 1945 book The Open Society and Its Enemies introduced Soros to the concept of an "open society," which affected him greatly.2 The term "open society" had been originally coined in 1932 by the French philosopher Henri Louis Bergson, to describe societies whose moral codes were founded upon "universal" principles seeking to enhance the welfare of all mankind—as opposed to "closed" societies that placed self-interest above any concern for other nations and cultures.3 Popper readily embraced this concept and expanded upon it. In his view, the open society was a place that permitted its citizens the right to criticize and change its institutions as they saw fit; he rejected the imposed intellectual conformity, central planning, and historical determinism of Marxist doctrine.4 By Popper's reckoning, a society was "closed"—and thus undesirable—if it assumed that it was in any way superior to other societies. Likewise, any belief system or individual claiming to be in possession of "ultimate truth" was an "enemy" of the open society as well. Popper viewed all knowledge as conjectural rather than certain, as evolving rather than fixed. Thus, by logical extension, Popper did not share the American founders' confident assertion that certain truths were "self-evident," and that certain rights—such as the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," as referenced in the Declaration of Independence—were "unalienable" and thus not subject to doubt, because they had been granted to mankind by the ultimate authority, the "Creator."5 George Soros, as he grew to maturity, would likewise reject the founders' premise. To Soros, "Popper's greatest contribution to philosophy" was his teaching that "the ultimate truth remains permanently beyond our reach."6 It was in 1979 that Soros began testing the proverbial waters of philanthropy. Five years later he launched, in the country of his birth, the first of his many Open Society Foundations to help "build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens."7 But it was not until 1987, the year he opened his Moscow office, that Soros began to disseminate truly large amounts of money to various groups and causes. "My spending rose from $3 million in 1987 to more than $300 million a year by 1992," he said.8 During this period, Soros established a series of foundations throughout Eastern Europe and Central Asia.9 When OSI was established In 1993, it became the flagship of the Soros Foundation Network. Today Soros's Open Society foundations are active in more than 70 countries around the world.10 OSI, for its part, is chiefly devoted to injecting capital into U.S.-based groups and causes. In his book Open Society: Reforming Global Capitalism, Soros explains that the "open society" which he has consistently sought to advance by means of philanthropy, "stands for freedom, democracy, rule of law, human rights, social justice, and social responsibility as a universal idea."11 Entrusted with the task of defining the foregoing terms for OSI, and for articulating the Institute's agendas from the outset, was Aryeh Neier, whom Soros appointed to serve as president not only of OSI, but of the entire Soros Foundation Network. Thirty-four years earlier, Neier had created the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which became the largest and most important radical group of the 1960s. SDS aspired to overthrow America's democratic institutions, remake its government in a Marxist image, and undermine the nation's war efforts in Vietnam. (A particularly militant faction of SDS would later break away to form the Weather Underground, a notorious domestic terror organization with a Marxist-Leninist agenda.) Following his stint with SDS, Neier worked fifteen years for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)—including eight years as its national executive director. After that, he spent twelve years as executive director of Human Rights Watch (HRW), an organization he founded in 1978.12 In February 2002, Soros appointed former Bill Clinton administration official Morton Halperin to the post of OSI director. Halperin, whom some State Department officials suspected of being a communist agent,13 had been instrumental in derailing America's war effort during the Vietnam era, when President Johnson put him in charge of compiling a classified history of U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia. Halperin's labor ultimately bore fruit—in June 1971—with the publication of the notorious "Pentagon Papers."14 Thereafter, Halperin went on to serve (from 1975-1992) as director of an ACLU project called the Center for National Security Studies, which sought to slash U.S. defense expenditures and undermine the nation's intelligence capabilities.15 In Target America—James L. Tyson's 1981 exposé of the Soviet Union's elaborate "propaganda campaign designed to weaken and demoralize America from the inside"—the author stated:
"Halperin … and his organizations have had a constant record of advocating the weakening of U.S. intelligence capabilities. His organizations are also notable for ignoring the activities of the KGB or any other foreign intelligence organization.... A balance sheet analysis of Halperin's writings and testimonies ... gives Halperin a score of 100% on the side of output favorable to the Communist line and 0% on any output opposed to the Communist line."16
Former Key OSI Trustees PBS broadcaster and Schumann Center for Media and Democracy president Bill Moyers is a former trustee of the Open Society Institute. Another noteworthy former OSI trustee is Lani Guinier, who served on the OSI board until the end of 2007. Guinier is best known as President Bill Clinton's 1993 nominee for the post of Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. Derided by some critics as "Clinton's Quota Queen" because she favored proportional representation (based on race and ethnicity) in local political elections, Guinier ultimately failed to impress the Senate and her nomination was withdrawn by Clinton. The OSI Agendas and Grantees Claiming to be "a nonpartisan, nonpolitical entity" whose funding agendas are "wholly separate" from "George Soros's private political activities," OSI describes itself as "a private operating and grantmaking foundation [that] "aims to shape public policy to promote democratic governance, human rights, and economic, legal, and social reform; … implements a range of initiatives to support the rule of law, education, public health, and independent media; [and] works to build alliances across borders and continents on issues such as combating corruption and rights abuses." OSI's total assets today exceed $1.9 billion. Each year, the Institute awards scores of millions of dollars in grants to organizations that promote worldviews and objectives accordant with those of George Soros.17 For a detailed list of many of those organizations, click here and here. Following is a sampling of the major agendas advanced by groups that Soros and OSI support financially. Listed under each category heading are a few OSI grantees fitting that description. Organizations that accuse America of violating the civil rights and liberties of many of its residents:
Organizations that depict America as a nation whose enduring racism must be counterbalanced by racial and ethnic preferences in favor of nonwhites:
Organizations that specifically portray the American criminal-justice system as racist and inequitable:
Organizations that call for massive social change, and for the recruitment and training of activist leaders to help foment that change:
Organizations that disparage capitalism while promoting a dramatic expansion of social-welfare programs funded by ever-escalating taxes:
Organizations that support socialized medicine in the United States:
Organizations that strive to move American politics to the left by promoting the election of progressive political candidates:
Organizations that promote leftist ideals and worldviews in the media and the arts:
In May 2011, the Media Research Center reported that from 2003-2001, Soros had spent more than $48 million "funding media properties, including the infrastructure of news -- journalism schools, investigative journalism and even industry organizations." Among the beneficiaries of Soros's money were such entities as: ABC, The American Prospect Inc. (the owner and publisher of The American Prospect magazine), the Columbia School of Journalism, Free Press, the Independent Media Center, the Independent Media Institute, the Media Fund, Media Matters For America, the Nation Institute, National Public Radio, NBC, the New York Times, the Pacifica Foundation, and ProPublica. Below are some brief descriptions of a few more Soros-funded media organizations:
Organizations that seek to inject the American judicial system with leftist values:
Organizations that advance leftist agendas by infiltrating churches and religious congregations:
Think tanks that promote leftist policies:
Organizations that promote open borders, mass immigration, a watering down of current immigration laws, increased rights and benefits for illegal aliens, and ultimately amnesty:
Organizations that oppose virtually all post-9/11 national-security measures enacted by the U.S. government:
Organizations that defend suspected anti-American terrorists and their abetters:
Organizations that depict virtually all American military actions as unwarranted and immoral:
Organizations that advocate America's unilateral disarmament and/or a steep reduction in its military spending:
Organizations that promote radical environmentalism:
Groups in this category typically oppose mining and logging initiatives, commercial fishing enterprises, development and construction in wilderness areas, the use of coal, the use of pesticides, and oil and gas exploration in "environmentally sensitive" locations. Moreover, they claim that human industrial activity leads to excessive carbon-dioxide emissions which, in turn, cause a potentially cataclysmic phenomenon called "global warming." Examples of such Soros donees include the Alliance for Climate Protection, the Earth Island Institute, Earthjustice, Friends of the Earth, Green For All, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Another major recipient of Soros money is the Tides Foundation, which receives cash from all manner of donors—individuals, groups, and other foundations—and then funnels it to designated left-wing recipients. Having given more than $400 million to "progressive nonprofit organizations" since 2000, ides is a heavy backer of environmental organizations, though its philanthropy extends also into many other areas.
Organizations that oppose the death penalty in all circumstances:
In 2000 George Soros co-signed a letter to President Bill Clinton asking for a moratorium on the death penalty, on grounds that it tended to be implemented disproportionately against black and Hispanic offenders.
Consistent with the billionaire's opposition to capital punishment, his Open Society Institute has given millions of dollars to anti-death penalty organizations such as New Yorkers Against the Death Penalty, Witness to Innocence, Equal Justice USA, the Death Penalty Information Center, People of Faith against the Death Penalty, and the Fair Trial Initiative.
Organizations that promote modern-day feminism's core tenet—that America is fundamentally a sexist society where discrimination and violence against women have reached epidemic proportions:
Organizations that promote not only women's right to taxpayer-funded abortion on demand, but also political candidates who take that same position:
Organizations that favor global government which would bring American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations or other international bodies:
According to George Soros, "[W]e need some global system of political decision-making. In short, we need a global society to support our global economy." Consistent with this perspective, the Open Society Institute in 2008 gave $150,000 to the United Nations Foundation, which "works to broaden support for the UN through advocacy and public outreach." Moreover, OSI is considered a "major" funder of the Coalition for an International Criminal Court, which aims to subordinate American criminal-justice procedures in certain cases to an international prosecutor who could initiate capricious or politically motivated prosecutions of U.S. officials and military officers.
Organizations that support drug legalization:
Dismissing the notion of "a drug-free America" as nothing more than "a utopian dream," George Soros says that "the war on drugs" is "insane" and, "like the Vietnam War," simply "cannot be won." "I'll tell you what I would do if it were up to me," says Soros. "I would establish a strictly controlled distribution network through which I would make most drugs, excluding the most dangerous ones like crack, legally available." In 1998 Soros was a signatory to a public letter addressed to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, declaring that "the global war on drugs is now causing more harm than drug abuse itself." The letter blamed the war on drugs for impeding such public health efforts as stemming the spread of HIV, hepatitis, and other infectious diseases, as well as human rights violations and the perpetration of environmental assaults. Other notable signers included Cornel West, Morton H. Halperin, Peter Lewis, Rev. William Sloan Coffin, Jr., Tammy Baldwin, and Walter Cronkite. Soros and his Open Society Institute have given many millions of dollars to groups supporting drug-legalization and needle-exchange programs. In 1996, former Carter administration official Joseph Califano called Soros "the Daddy Warbucks of drug legalization." According to a Capital Research Center publication, "It's no exaggeration to say that without Soros there would be no serious lobby against the drug war." A leading recipient of Soros funding is the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), which seeks to loosen narcotics laws, promotes "treatment-not-incarceration" policies for non-violent drug offenders, and advocates syringe-access programs "to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS." Soros himself formerly sat on the DPA board of directors. As recently as 2010, Soros contributed $1 million to support a California ballot measure known as Proposition 19, which would have legalized personal marijuana use in the state; the measure, however, was rejected by voters on election day. Peter Schweizer, author of Do As I Say (Not As I Do), speculates on the possible reasons underlying Soros's support for drug legalization:
"One very possible answer is that he hopes to profit from them [drugs] once they become legal. He has been particularly active in South America, buying up large tracts of land and forging alliances with those in a position to mass-produce narcotics should they become legalized in the United States. He has also helped fund the Andean Council of Coca Leaf producers. Needless to say, this organization would stand to benefit enormously from the legalization of cocaine. He has also taken a 9 percent stake in Banco de Colombia, located in the Colombian drug capital of Cali. The Drug Enforcement Administration has speculated that the bank is being used to launder money and that Soros's fellow shareholders may be members of a major drug cartel."
Organizations that support euthanasia for the terminally ill:
Soros has long promoted the cause of physician-assisted suicide in an effort to change public attitudes about death. Toward that end, in 1994 he began giving money to the (now defunct) Project on Death in America (PDA), whose purpose was to provide "end-of-life" assistance for ailing people and to enact public policy that will "transform the culture and experience of dying and bereavement." Over a 9-year period, the Open Society Institute gave $45 million to PDA. Notably, PDA's mission was congruent with the goals of those who support government-run health care, which invariably features bureaucracies tasked with allocating scarce resources and thus determining who will, and who will not, be eligible for particular medications and treatments. Such bureaucracies generally make their calculations based upon cost-benefit analyses of a variety of possible treatments. Ultimately these decisions tend to disfavor the very old and the very sick, because whatever benefits they might gain from expensive interventions are likely to be of short duration, and thus are not judged to be worth the costs. Soros himself has suggested that "[a]ggressive, life-prolonging interventions, which may at times go against the patient's wishes, are much more expensive than proper care for the dying." Additional pro-euthanasia groups funded by Soros and OSI are the following:
Organizations that have pressured mortgage lenders to make loans to undercapitalized borrowers, a practice that helped spark the subprime mortgage crisis and housing-market collapse of 2008:
Organizations that exhort the U.S. and Israel to negotiate with, and to make concessions to, Arab terrorist groups and regimes that have pledged to destroy America and Israel alike:

United States Senator
September 12, 2007
Senate Judiciary Committee
Hearing on "Regulatory Preemption: Are Federal Agencies Usurping Congressional and State Authority"
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
Statement of U.S. Senator Russell D. Feingold
I want to thank Chairman Leahy for holding this important hearing. In recent years, this administration has quietly undermined the longstanding relationship between federal public safety regulation and state common law. After decades of recognizing that state common law is an indispensable partner to federal safety regulation, our federal agencies are suddenly taking the position that state lawsuits and federal regulation cannot coexist, and that state lawsuits intended to compensate the victims of defective products must be preempted.
This 180-degree turnaround is being implemented through a deliberate end-run around Congress. In at least one of these cases, Congress considered and rejected the idea of preempting state law. Likewise, agencies are ignoring their legal obligation under Executive Order 13132 to avoid preemptive regulations where possible, and to consult with states before issuing preemptive regulations.
This back-door dismantling of state tort law suggests that this administration's rhetoric about states' rights is just that -- rhetoric. It also disserves the public. For all their good points, federal agencies react slowly to industry developments and lack the power to subpoena product information from corporations. Cases brought by consumers in state courts can help ensure that safety standards keep up with the industry, and can provide an invaluable source of information for regulators as well as the public. They also provide a critical safeguard against "agency capture," the all-too-common phenomenon of agencies falling under the influence of the industries they are supposed to regulate.
Even if federal agencies worked perfectly, federal safety standards are meant to be a floor, not a ceiling. When you prevent consumers from bringing cases in state courts, you remove a key incentive for manufacturers to provide safety features beyond the bare minimum. And make no mistake - people will continue to be injured through defective products. The only difference will be who pays the price: it will be the victim and the taxpayers, instead of the corporation that caused the harm.
I thank the witnesses for being here today to help us begin our examination of this important issue.

Ghostface Gets His Murderous Mojo Back in a Killer Resurrection of 'Scream'
Ten years have passed since the bloody havoc of the original Scream, and Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), the surviving heroine of three previous run-ins with the so-called Ghostface Killer, has returned home to promote her new self-help book. Can she avoid another bloodbath, or is she doomed to relive the nightmare?
Need you ask? Arriving more than a decade after the lackluster Scream 3, in which Wes Craven's second juggernaut franchise (after the Nightmare on Elm Street series) seemed to run out of gas, the director's fourth entry – another collaboration with original screenwriter Kevin Williamson – once again tweaks the conventions of the genre, poking fun at the "rules" of reboots and the recent spate of Hollywood remakes.
