Page Formatting Issue
7 February 2010 at 9:18am
Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knows why when putting in an image onto a page using the CMS content editor, the editor allows me set wrapping and alignment for the image, but when I save and publish the page the text never wraps around the image, and the alignment is always 'left'. Any ideas on what the cause is?

Sounds like CSS issue. How do you set the wrapping? Do you set it when inserting the image, via the dropdown, or do you set it afterwards in the editor itself?
Anyways, after you add the image, click on the HTML button in the tinyMCE to browse the html source and note how the inserted img tag looks like. It should have a class attribute appended to it, like that:

The 'left' class should be present in your typography.css file and it should contain 'float: left' for the text to wrap around the images.

Yep, the css was the culprit. I was missing the .left {float :left;) designation, which was why the html was fine, but it wouldnt look right.
Thanks for your help!

Just a random question that had crossed my mind.
I was reading an article over on PFT about Ryan Leaf, and it seems he's getting his life a little more on track, which is good for him.
However, it got me thinking...does he get a raw deal compared to some other 1st picks?
I mean, he's know to many as the biggest bust of all time. However, is that a fair judgment?
He played 25 games in this league, according to NFL.com, and obviously did not do well at all. Even us Cowboys fans know about ol' Ryan. What about a few other guys though, not even at a different position, at QB? I took a look at Ryan Leaf, JaMarcus Russell, and Alex Smith...and was kind of shocked by what I found. Well, kind of. I had a sneaking suspicion about this anyway.
Heres what I'm going to do, I'm going to post the stats of these three QB's with out names...and without looking I want you to guess who is who...
Com Att Pct Yrd Avg TD Int QB Rat.
302 583 51.9 3626 6 17 18 62.0
Com Att Pct Yrd Avg TD Int QB Rat.
317 655 48.4 3666 5.6 14 36 50.0
Com Att Pct Yrd Avg TD Int QB Rat.
341 607 54.5 3765 5.9 17 27 57.8
None of them look good in the least.
If you guessed
QB 1 = JaMarcus Russell.
QB 2 = Ryan Leaf.
QB 3 = Alex Smith.
Then you are correct.
Maybe Leaf didn't get a bad deal?
I don't think there is actually much difference. When push comes to shove, you aren't going to win many games with any of the QB's listed.
JaMarcus Russell = 7 wins - 18 losses
Ryan Leaf = 4 wins - 21 losses
Alex Smith = 9 wins - 16 losses
So yeah, Ryan Leaf *is* probably the worst QB, at least out of these 3.
However, I'd probably have to lean toward Alex Smith being a worse QB through his first 25 than Russell, even though Smith came through with 2 more wins.
I guess with those two, you have to say "Who did what with what" as in...who had the better team, and still played QB like that though the first 25 games.
These stats only represent through the first 25 games, as that was only as many as Leaf had played. Alex Smith is still going with 54 games and Russell was out of the league after only 31 games.
Maybe Russell was the one who got the raw deal? Of course, with the attitude..he was bound to follow the same path the Leaf did.

«Kalev» Tallinn, Estonia vs. «Khimki» Khimki, Russia
Game statistics
Kalev come up short against Khimki
In Week 15 of the regular season, Khimki (Russia) ground out a win in Tallinn over Kalev (Estonia), 65-57. The Moscow Region team played poorly in the first half, but seized momentum after the break on their way to a hard-fought win.
Each team have goals to meet as the end of the regular season approaches. Though Khimki and Kalev have very different expectations – Khimki hope to finish in first, while Kalev battle to avoid relegation – both were highly motivated coming into the contest and Khimki fans had no illusions about the serious test Tallinn would present their club.
Egor Vyaltsev collected the game's first seven points to give his team a nice lead. Kalev struggled early in the half court, but ran the break well, which helped to keep their fast-starting visitors within sight. The Estonian club's shooters did improve as the quarter wore on and they closed the gap to four points through one period of play, 20-16.
Khimki took no notice of the home team's growing confidence and paid for it in the second. Their lazy possessions ended in contested, inefficient shot selection, while Kalev continued to punish their opponent in transition, leading to a 10-0 run. The Estonians also played tremendous defense as the Yellow-Blues were blanked for the first five minutes of the quarter. Petteri Koponen finally ended the slump, but Khimki continued to trail, their offense stymied by Kalev's imposing center Bamba Fall. The Tallinn crowd gave their men a standing ovation at halftime, as they headed to the locker room on top, 31-24.
Khimki did not want to lose two straight in the VTB United League. Three minutes into the second half, the Russians led, 37-35. Rimas Kurtinaitis found a relatively solution for his men: full-court pressure and an offense built around Paul Davis in the paint (the American did not play in the first half). The center not only scored and rebounded, but also drew double-teams, giving his teammates more breathing room. Khimki won the third quarter 22-10 and led by five points heading into the final period.
Turning Point
In the fourth quarter, the Yellow-Blues looked to slowly, but surely build their lead from beyond the arc: with three and a half minutes left, Kurtinaitis's team had an encouraging 59-51 advantage. The Estonians struck back, however, inspired by Fall's play in the paint. Their 6-0 run made it a one-possession game, 59-57, and the fans anxiously awaited the conclusion.
When the chips are down, self-control and individual talent take precedent. K.C. Rivers and Petteri Koponen displayed those qualities brilliantly, scoring four points on two mid-range jumpers. Kalev had no answer, allowing Khimki to win their 11th game of the season, 65-57, and pass UNICS Kazan in the standings.
Star of the Game
Paul Davis. In order to be the best player in the game, the center needed only 11 minutes of playing time in the second half. Brought on for the first time in the third quarter, Davis turned the game around for Khimki with his play down low. The dominant big man returned confidence to the Russians, the lead, and, ultimately, helped secure a win.
Stat of the Game
4 – Kalev won the second quarter, 15-4. Khimki's four points in 10 minutes tie a VTB United League record. They weren't the only ones to go completely cold in Week 15. Another top Russian club, CSKA, did the same in the fourth quarter against Tsmoki-Minsk.
Khimki head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis:
- We needed this win and in the end we got it. I also tried to find the right combination of players on the court, but didn't always succeed. The fourth quarter was quite interesting and we got luckier than Kalev down the stretch.
Kalev head coach Alar Varrak:
- We got a little unlucky at the end. If we had made one more 3-pointer or free throw, who knows what might have happened… We defended fairly well, but couldn't finish enough on offense.
Top Performers
Kalev: Armands Skele – 20 points, nine rebounds; Bamba Fall – 11 points, 10 rebounds; four blocks.
Khimki: Zoran Planinic – 12 points, six assists, three steals; Paul Davis – 11 points, six rebounds.

Cover Story
Women are squarely in the picture where law and technology combine
Posted Apr 1, 2014 5:40 AM CDT
By Lauren Etter
When Alison Monahan, founder of the Girl's Guide to Law School website, went to a high-profile legal technology conference last year in Silicon Valley, she noticed something missing on the roster of speakers: women.
"There was really only one woman speaking the entire day," she says. "I thought, 'Really? That's the best you can do?' "
That day she and some other female audience members decided to form an online group called Law Tech Ladies to cater to the small-but-growing number of women in the blossoming field where law and technology intersect.
"Within a day we had 60 or 70 women in this group—all very interesting, totally legit and doing things in the legal technology space," Monahan recalls.
Women have long been underrepresented in technical fields such as math, science and engineering, and the tech boom saw a continuation of this tradition. Women are founders at only 3 percent of technology firms, while women-owned high-tech firms receive only 5 percent of all venture capital investments, according to the Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University.
Today the even narrower field of legal technology is no exception. It's not that women aren't interested in the law; women make up nearly half of first-year law students, according to data from the American Bar Association. And it's not that women aren't interested in technology. A growing number of venture capital firms focus on funding female-led groups—and more tech groups, such as Girls Who Code, are focused on women in the field. The problem is partly that the field of legal technology is already lagging compared to other industries that have wholeheartedly embraced technology. Lawyers have shunned some time-saving technologies that challenge the supremacy of the billable hour. Also, law is often perceived as esoteric, which can make it a harder sell to venture capitalists.
That leaves a small cadre of females confronting headwinds from both an industry-specific and a gender-specific standpoint. "There really weren't women lawyers in tech when I started," says Michele Colucci, founder of Justiquity, a Woodside, Calif., company that operates a series of legal websites including PatentReview.com, LawyerIQ.com and MyLawsuit.com, which connects attorneys with clients on a contingency-fee basis. "There were women lawyers and then women who had gone into business or tech." Typically not both.
Today, however, more women are leading some of the most interesting and influential companies and concepts in legal technology, from electronic discovery and online patent management to computational law and cloud-based workflow management for attorneys.
Take Nicole Shanahan, founder of ClearAccessIP, an integrated marketplace that connects patent managers and portfolios, helps patent holders manage and monetize their assets, and aids attorneys in building clients' portfolios and managing licensing deals. Shanahan, a third-year law student at Santa Clara University who also has a self-taught background in computer engineering, got her start in the patent world as a senior in college working for a boutique patent prosecution firm in Seattle. She was drawn to the topic at a time when China was getting ready to host the 39th Summer Olympics in 2008. "Chinese intellectual property was a big problem," she says.
She later took an internship working with a Chinese IP law firm in Beijing before returning to the U.S. to work with a group of IP attorneys. At all these firms, she noticed technology was sorely lagging behind the demands of clients. She then went to work for a company called RPX Corp., which specializes in patent licenses. There Shanahan was tasked with designing and building the company's first large-scale internal patent license management software. The experience was transformative. "They had two problems," Shanahan recalls. "One was the same problem I had seen everywhere—they had a hard time with their document management. The second problem, which was new to me, was that they needed a new way to track all the interrelated licensing relationships between their clients and their sellers. ... Dealing with this was unique, and no one had really built any software for it. That was very enlightening."
Shanahan then decided to go to law school to work on patent reform issues and to take a research position with Colleen Chien, a Santa Clara law professor and expert in patent law who is also a senior adviser for intellectual property at the White House.
Now in her final year of law school, Shanahan is busily building ClearAccessIP. "I am essentially trying to build and democratize a marketplace platform because not all patent holders and sellers can afford the large transaction firms," she says. "I'm also solving a very old problem and putting docket management in the cloud. We're ... also the first automated platform, so instead of people manually entering things, we've created the first way to automate government data directly to users."
Shanahan says she was driven to create a service that brings minimalism to an often-complicated IP system. "It's actually a really beautiful system," she says. "It's so simple. For a user to get started, all they need is an application serial number. Then we send that serial number to a relevant [application programming interface] and pull all the data and relevant documents. We put it in a way that a 12-year-old could understand."
Shanahan's company charges a monthly subscription fee rather than the typical multiyear contracts used by many legal services providers. As a woman in legal tech, Shanahan says there have been some learning curves. "Fundraising—that was really hard. There were some days that I really questioned what it meant to be a woman in business because it felt so awkward at times to go into a room and to ask for a partnership or an investor. It's weird because there's this boys' club, and they go out to dinner and they have cocktails together."
She advises women to not lose sight of their mission. "The minute you lose focus and talk too much about your personal life or things that would be perceived as frivolous stereotypes of women, you lose your audience in some way," she says. "Keeping the attention of your audience with a very clear message of who you are and what your goals are as a company is the most important thing."
Colucci of MyLawsuit.com had spent years using her legal skills in various ways. During that time, she constantly fielded requests by friends and peers to help them find an appropriate lawyer. Around 2007 she realized that the process of connecting clients with quality lawyers was ripe for disruption, and she started work on her companies. "It's an incredibly fragmented market with no transparency," Colucci says. "Lawyers are trying to find business in any way, and individuals are trying to find lawyers in any way. The traditional way has been the referral, but what's happened with the Web is it's supplanted that method of finding and identifying appropriate legal representation."
Law firms have traditionally marketed themselves in a relatively inefficient manner via personal connections, word of mouth, sponsorships, presentations to companies—even the Yellow Pages. On the flipside, individuals often don't know how to find a quality attorney, or even the standards by which to judge an attorney's qualifications.
Meanwhile businesses often find themselves hastily searching for law firms or attorneys with a unique set of skills, such as a lawyer with a PhD in a technical sector, a firm that has in-house experts, or a national firm that can address nationwide consumer complaints. "The law has become so much more specialized," she says. "Would you go to a foot doctor for heart surgery? People really don't know what a lawyer does and doesn't know."
That's where MyLawsuit.com, officially launched in 2011, comes in. On the consumer side, the site connects individuals who have matters appropriate for contingency representations to lawyers who will take those cases on a contingency fee basis. She uses a proprietary and patented bidding platform that allows lawyers to input salient features of their law practice so they can be identified and notified when correlating case features appear from a prospective client. The platform also helps consumers select an attorney in a more transparent way, so that they have a better understanding of the attorney's legal qualifications and specialties.
On the enterprise side (which Colucci is getting ready to launch later this year), her site will connect general counsel of medium and large companies with law firms for negotiated fee arrangements, such as fixed fees, blended fees, contingency fees or other types of alternative fee arrangements.
On the consumer side, she earns money by having the client sign a lien that gives her 5 percent of whatever the client recovers, and then the lawyer also acknowledges that arrangement. (Lawyers using the consumer site pay nothing to find clients through the platform.) She says this is a win-win for everybody. "Lawyers are used to giving over 11 percent to 16 percent for a referral," she says. "The client is no worse off—and they're often better off—and the lawyer is better off. And we get enough to keep our platform alive." She charges attorneys using the enterprise service an annual platform fee if and when they choose to become active and bid on a matter.
Being a woman in the legal tech space has been eye-opening for Colucci. "Every panel discussion I went to, I was definitely one of the only women—if not the only one—and definitely the only woman in legal," she says.
"Crossing that funding divide has always been hard for me. Asking for money feels weird," she says. "Women—we are trained to be givers, and it's very hard to receive. I had to retool my thinking to get in front of investors." Her advice to other women working with legal tech startups is to focus on the opportunity they are giving investors with their business plan. Colucci recalls one of her business advisers explaining it this way: "I'm an investor and you're offering me a great opportunity. You're not doing me any favors." Ultimately, Colucci says, being a woman shouldn't be the focus. It boils down to: "Do you know what you're talking about, can you answer the questions, and do you have intelligent answers?"
Female leaders riding the boom in legal tech are popping up around the world. Serena Manzoli lives in Italy and recently co-founded the site Peppercorn, an online platform that automates the drafting of contracts in several languages, a necessity in Europe. With Peppercorn, individuals will be able to draft their own contracts in multiple languages by answering a number of questions in their native tongue and then letting the software draft the contract in both the native language and any other language specified. (For now, the beta site is only offering contracts in English and Italian, but Manzoli anticipates growing the site to also accommodate German, French and Spanish.)
Manzoli is passionate about the topic. "We want to take out legalese from our legal documents and we want to give the law back to the people—make it simple, make it affordable and make it understandable," she says.
And though legal technology is a vast field, it doesn't always entail complicated algorithms or sophisticated databases. Mariya Badeva-Bright, co-founder of the African Legal Information Institute, has discovered that simply digitizing the law can provide a powerful service.
Badeva-Bright, who has a law degree and a master's in law and information technology, moved to South Africa fresh out of law school and realized that there was no free or commercial database that would give her access to South African or regional law. That's largely because in Africa it hasn't been commercially viable to publish law reports, and national resources are scarce.
She decided to use her legal and technological skills to tackle the problem. Around 2004 she started digitizing African case law and legislation and publishing it for free. The website has grown from a database of a few hundred documents to tens of thousands. And she feels like her site has made a tremendous difference. "Before these free access-to-law projects existed, there was virtually no access to the law," she says. "You would find judges, lawyers, academics, law students—really the entire legal profession—relying on outdated books of legislation and case law." She says some countries until recently were using law reports that were published in the 1970s. And many attorneys were relying on case law from outside their countries because they had no way to access internal law. Badeva-Bright's institute, which is funded by diverse organizations including the Open Society Foundations, the African Technology and Transparency Initiative and the Indigo Trust, recently started offering its expertise in sourcing, digitizing and publishing law to a growing number of African countries. "Legal information is a digital common property," she says, "and people should have access to it."
Often, female lawyers have taken to the Internet to help other women thrive in the legal world. Take Monahan's site, the Girl's Guide to Law School. Monahan graduated from Columbia Law School in 2006 and went to work for a federal district judge in Massachusetts before working for a large patent litigation firm in San Francisco. While in law school, Monahan had a tough time adapting to the culture and found the experience to be "more unpleasant than it needed to be," she says. She began researching some of the psychological effects that law school often has on students and found that women often have a harder time adapting than men.
"They tend not to do as well academically as you would predict based on LSAT scores and undergrad grades," Monahan says. "All these things made me think there are some gendered issues here, and the law in general was more gendered than I expected." Monahan, who has experience as a website developer and a computer programmer, started writing a book designed to help women succeed in law school. But her blog took off instead, so she focused her energy on that.
Today her extremely popular blog is ranked on the ABA Journal's Blawg 100 list. She and her San Francisco-based business partner, Lee Burgess, have parlayed the blog's success into other online legal businesses, including the Law School Toolbox and the Bar Exam Toolbox, both online learning resources for law students and professionals.
Yael Citro is the co-founder of LawPal, a subscription-based online platform that helps improve efficiency for attorneys by automating their workflow through a suite of tools, such as document creation, interactive checklists and assistance with all sorts of legal filings. "Our ultimate goal is for lawyers to spend as much time as possible on high-level advice-giving and as little time as possible on non-law-related tasks," Citro says. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, Citro spent most of her career at Latham & Watkins. She's lived and worked as an attorney all across the world, from New York City to London to Israel. "Irrespective of where I found myself geographically, there were the same frustrations as a lawyer with all the non-law-related tasks that you have to do and that you have to bill clients for," she says. "These things take an incredible amount of time, and it's not something that you had to have gone to law school to do. Nor is it something that you can justify billing your clients for. That was just across the board on three continents." After meeting her co-founder, Alex Halliday—also the founder of SocialGo, a UK company that provides social networking software—they started their venture as a document automation platform. Soon they realized it wasn't the right idea. Next they pivoted toward a sort of social network for lawyers. Still, "we felt like we weren't having a big enough impact on what was causing a big amount of pain in the lawyer-client relationship, which is the way in which lawyers currently work. They are terribly inefficient, and that inefficiency is resulting in real frustration on the part of the clients who don't understand what they're paying for."
So Citro and Halliday started focusing on how they could make the process of lawyering more efficient, transparent and friendly to clients. LawPal was born.
LawPal, based in San Francisco, is geared toward lawyers eager to use technology to practice in a more agile, transparent and cost-effective way.
Citro's advice to other women in the legal tech space is to set aside gender issues as much as possible and stay focused on the company.
"As a founder of a company—female or male—your job is to focus people on the right things, which are building a great company and a great product."
As the field of legal tech grows, the law will increasingly gravitate toward even more innovation, and much of that will inevitably come from the brilliant women already populating the ranks.
And it's already changing.
Roland Vogl, executive director at both the Stanford Program in Law, Science & Technology and at CodeX—the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics, says he's seeing more women in the field.
"When we started out with our center, it was kind of rare to see women come to our group meetings," Vogl says. "In the recent past, more women have been coming—women entrepreneurs with interesting ideas." In fact, Vogl says that the most recent annual CodeX conference, a hub for legal tech entrepreneurs, drew more women than ever. In the future there could be even more. He says CodeX doesn't currently have any female-specific events or panels but adds: "We should do something like that."
So, ladies, stay tuned.

text: Does ANYONE remember 2007? Granted, 85 wins probably won't be enough this year. But that team looked abysmal until the end of June! The talent on this team is there - there's no doubt. Look at the peripherals - this is largely a run of catastrophic luck. Lou is doing poorly, and DLee/Aram are sinking rallies daily with their slumps. I am calling it now, and I want everyone to remember: this team will win 90 games this year. I haven't posted for a long time because of how catatonic almost everyone is acting. I live in Boston, and let me tell you, even Al sounds like a panicky Sox fan after each loss. I love this blog, love Al, love everyone on it and I feel the same pain you all do. But today, I am declaring that everything will be alright and that THIS cubs team will be damn good!

I built a very basic JSF application and deployed to Tomcat 7.0.22, but it failed with this error:

grep is a versatile command with many variations (grep, egrep, fgrep, then various implementations). It uses a regula expression (regex) pattern to filter input. But then there are basic and extended flavors of regex - leading to even more confusion. And, beware that there are lots of bad examples of regex in the wild... There are two critical questions to ask when you use grep: which grep implementation are you using? what is the flavor of the regex? Here are some examples for gnu grep v2.7:
# Find all numbers (no decimal point), basic regex... Use the -o flag to show only the matching part instead of the whole matching line:
grep -o -E '\b[0-9]{2}\b' The good thing about the gnu grep is that it...

Sometimes ClassCastException happens when apprently a class is casted to the same class or a parent class. The exception looks like this:
java.lang.ClassCastException: X cannot be cast to ... where Y may be the same as X , or a parent class of X . The cause of this error is that X and Y are loaded by different class loaders. You can use the FindClass utility to find all occurances of X and Y in the deployment tree. If there's no duplication of X and Y in the deployment tree, JNDI lookups may be the culprit.

Seahawks promote Giacomini, Robinson
The Seahawks released WR Ruvell Martin and C Chris White on Saturday, just three days after they had been added to the roster. The moves were made so the team could promote OT Breno Giacomini and QB Zac Robinson from ...
Hasselbeck out, Whitehurst to start vs. Giants
Charlie Whitehurst will make his first-ever NFL start on Sunday, as the Seahawks announced that QB Matt Hasselbeck is out with a concussion.
Loss of DE Bryant a big blow to Seahawks
With Red Bryant being placed on injured reserve after suffering an injury to his right knee in the Week Eight loss in Oakland, the Seahawks now find themselves with a real potential problem on the defensive line.
Seahawks add three to roster
The Seahawks signed three more players to their active roster on Wednesday.
Seahawks place Bryant, Hamilton on I.R.
The Seahawks placed DE Red Bryant (knee) and OLG Ben Hamilton (concussion) on injured reserve Tuesday. Both players suffered their injuries in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.
Seahawks licking wounds after rout by Raiders
In addition to getting beaten to a pulp by the suddenly red-hot Raiders in Week Eight, the Seahawks' already ailing roster was further depleted by a new rash of injuries, including a knee injury to DE Red Bryant.
Raiders roll past Seahawks 33-3
Jason Campbell threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns, and Oakland's defense did the rest to help the Raiders even their record at the midpoint of the season with a 33-3 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
Tatupu remains Seahawks' trusty traffic cop
Change has been a constant under Pete Carroll in Seattle, but one thing has remained the same: MLB Lofa Tatupu is still the defense's undisputed traffic cop.
Seahawks activate FB Ganther
The Seahawks elevated FB Quinton Ganther to the active roster on Tuesday and placed RB Chris Henry and OT Breno Giacomini on their practice squad.
Week Eight power rankings
Leading the NFC West with a 4-2 record, Pete Carroll's Seahawks are quietly creeping up in PFW's power rankings.
Seahawks winning ugly but hardly complaining
Hardly concerned about style points, Pete Carroll's Seahawks snapped a four-game losing streak to the division-rival Cardinals Sunday despite an offense that had trouble scoring touchdowns and the loss of first-round OLT Russell Okung with another ankle injury.
Seattle beats Arizona 22-10, takes division lead
Olindo Mare kicked five field goals, Matt Hasselbeck threw a 2-yard touchdown to Mike Williams, and the Seahawks took advantage of five Arizona turnovers in an unimpressive 22-10 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Lynch, Forsett enjoying reunion in Seattle
We hear the Seahawks couldn't be happier over the instantly apparent chemistry between RBs Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett in the team's newly revamped backfield.
Lynch starting, but Forsett still contributing in Seattle
Many thought the arrival of Marshawn Lynch in Seattle meant the end of Justin Forsett's fantasy value, but that proved not to be the case.
Hasselbeck leads Seahawks over Bears 23-20
Matt Hasselbeck threw for a season-best 242 yards and a touchdown and Seattle's defense sacked Jay Cutler six times in a 23-20 victory over the Bears on Sunday.
The New York Giants placed Blackmon on injured reserve and signed cornerback Brian Witherspoon.||||||| Blackmon, who was signed as a free agent in late October, hurt his knee against Philadelphia on Dec. 19 and missed Sunday's game in Green Bay. He averaged 6.7 yards on 14 returns in five games.
Green Bay placed Blackmon on injured reserve with a knee injury.|||||||
Blackmon was placed on the IR with a sprained knee.|||||||
Blackmon was injured in the second quarter of Monday's loss at Minnesota. He cut to his right and his left knee appeared to buckle as he tried to head up field. Blackmon remained on the turf for several minutes and was taken on a cart to the locker room for examination.||||||| Coach Mike McCarthy said it was a sprained knee and Blackmon would be evaluated on Tuesday. Jordy Nelson replaced him on punt and kick returns. He returned two kicks for 52 yards.
Blackmon was inactive for Green Bay's playoff game against Seattle on Saturday.||||||| Blackmon, one of the Packers' options as nickel cornerback, was limited in practice this week due to a foot injury. In his first start against Detroit on Dec. 30, Blackmon, who missed seven games earlier this season, aggravated a prior foot injury in the second quarter and didn't return. He provided a spark when he returned a punt for a 57-yard touchdown against the Raiders on Dec. 9. Blackmon scored a second touchdown in that game, falling on the ball in the end zone.

Rochester, NY (October 19, 2011) -- Monroe County voters will select a County Executive this November. If the election goes as others have since 1991, a Republican -- Maggie Brooks -- will be elected. Republicans' 20-year hold on the leadership of the county is not entirely unsurprising: they hold a strong enrollment advantage in the Monroe County suburbs, where voter turnout tends to be strongest. In addition, for many years Republicans held a reputation for effective governance: while Erie County was succumbing to oversight by a state control board, Monroe continued to operate with little fiscal drama. Since the county switched to an elected County Executive in 1983, Republicans have won every race but one.Brooks vs. Johnson: Style Defeats Substance with a Heavy Dose of Fear-MongeringEight years ago, when Brooks first sought the seat, she competed against Rochester Mayor William Johnson. That race featured County Clerk Brooks as the Republican heir-apparent to departing County Executive Jack Doyle. Brooks had cultivated a reputation as an effective administrator, serving as County Clerk since 1996, being twice elected by voters. Perhaps more important, Brooks was known by most as a former television news anchor who presented herself in a friendly, but substantive manner.Brooks' opponent, Mayor Bill Johnson, had thrice been elected mayor by wide margins and had the potential to run well in the suburbs. Although many pundits questioned whether Johnson could break through in the county's notoriously white suburbs, his substantive campaign and his plain-spoken approach to government won him support from a surprising range of local leaders. Curt Smith, the conservative author and former speechwriter for George H. W. Bush, was one of Johnson's most vocal supporters.As most residents know, Brooks won a resounding victory due, in part, to an ad campaign reminiscent of the anti-Goldwater "daisy" ad. Rochesterians know it as the "Pac Man" ad because it featured a Pac Man-like character consuming the county, suggesting to voters that Johnson's views on municipal government would threaten their local schools (presumably unleashing a torrent of poor students of color in them). In the battle of the likable Brooks and the substantive Johnson, Brooks unleashed the latent fear of integrated schools in suburban voters. Johnson not only lost the race, he nearly lost the Democratic bastion of Brighton. Fear on the one hand and likability on the other trumped substance.The Power of Personal Political StyleThe political landscape is littered with losing candidates who thought that a substantive campaign could defeat an opponent who was clearly thin on issue, but long on likability. Locally, several politicians have built their careers not on being policy wonks or forceful leaders, but simply by showing up and signaling their commitment to the community.Bob Stevenson, former city council member form the Northwest District in Rochester: Virtually every resident of the northwest knew Bob Stevenson personally. He attended neighborhood meetings, picnics, festivals, swim meets -- you name it, Bob was there. Stevenson was also a decent, friendly man -- eager to listen and loath to speak ill of others. With such a combination of skills, Stevenson was untouchable, leaving office only when he himself decided it was time to spend more time caring for his wife and family.
Joe Robach, former Democratic Assemblymember from Greece and current Republican State Senator from Greece and Rochester: There could be no clearer statement of Robach's effectiveness cultivating popular support in the community than the fact that he switched parties and ran -- as a white Republican -- in a district with a large Latino and African American (predominantly Democratic) population. Robach won that race and several others by comfortable margins. Like Stevenson, Robach has cultivated a sense among residents that he is "everywhere." Robach shows up, chats, meets and greets, cracks jokes and then is off to the next event. But he is tireless in his travels -- and voters have responded.
Robert Duffy, former Rochester mayor, current New York State Lieutenant Gubernator: Duffy was not elected in 2005 because of his substantive policy positions; he won because he had spent several years as police chief cultivating relationships across the city. Duffy recognized that leadership of the Rochester Police Department, and later leadership of City Hall, required connecting with residents, making them feel a personal connection to their leaders. With a gregarious nature and a manner of speaking that intertwined self-deprecating humor with wholesome statements of personal values, Duffy was well-liked by voters.In all three cases, these politicians have not needed to solve the complex problems of their political institutions, nor did they develop expertise in any specific policy areas. They simply established a favorable reputation and continued to cultivate throughout their careers.Maggie's Ad: "She cried"
Maggie Brooks, like Stevenson, Robach and Duffy, is well on her way to following in their footsteps. If one has any doubt about her approach, they should watch her latest political advertisement. In it, a woman talks of her trouble finding affordable prescriptions. When her pharmacist recommended a county-funded prescription drug plan that saved her money, the woman felt compelled to share her story with Brooks. What she emphasizes is that Brooks cried when hearing the news, supposedly saying that it was moments like these that make her work worthwhile.The ad sends a clear message: Maggie is one of us. Maggie cries, she has a heart, she is not some portrait hanging in a marble building, she is a real person. Like Bob Stevenson swapping stories from the old days, Joe Robach shooting the breeze at the Public Market or Bob Duffy beaming with pride at the spirit of Rochester, Brooks is working hard to say nothing political -- just remind people that she is one of us.Frankel's Challenge: Make Scandal Stick to MaggieFor her part, Brooks' challenger, Brighton Supervisor Sandy Frankel has a daunting task: to remind voters of the scandals that have plagued the county over the past decade AND to attach responsibility for them to Brooks. In theory, this should not be a hard task: Brooks has overseen the political appointments and made numerous key decisions that have sustained the atmosphere that tolerated these behaviors: she was asleep at the switch when it came to overseeing the Airport Authority. (Why did it take cigar purchases and strip club excursions for the County to say "Oh, maybe we should have someone review the Authority's expenses account."?) More recently, when the State Comptroller clearly documented irregularities -- and the potential loss of millions of taxpayer dollars associated with a shady IT bid -- Brooks blithely dismissed the audit as "mudslinging." Frankel has already earned the enmity of the County Republican attack machine. Voters are currently being reminded of her tax increases in Brighton and her pay raises -- issues that will not sit well in an electorate that is still agitated by perceived political greed. Frankel's vulnerability, though, is that tax increases and pay raises are clear to voters; Brooks' tolerance of Republican corruption is harder to see -- and easy for voters to separate from their image of Brooks as a decent, hard-working lady. Moreover, the County's steadily declining fiscal state will not require action until well into the next term, meaning the pain County taxpayers will face, sooner or later, might come at the hands of a Democrat -- though it will have been brought on by years of Republican mismanagement.Voters in Monroe County have a tough task indeed this November. One the one hand, a Republican candidate who, on a personal level, is probably a wonderful drinking buddy -- but whose political cronies have looted the County's assets. On the other hand, a Democratic candidate who is a well-respected administrator, but who will have difficulty defending tax and pay increases. If voters favor substance, Frankel would run neck-and-neck with Brooks, likely winning given the sad state of County cronyism. But if style prevails, Frankel will run into the GOP Pac Man machine -- and a teary-eyed Maggie Brooks. Brooks' tears might give her the edge on style -- and might win her a third term -- but the taxpayers will cry tears themselves, sooner or later.

Florida Getaways of the Day
Image 43 of 157
Sugarloaf Key: Crabshack welcomes you to the Lower Keys( PHOTO COURTESY OF TIM DORSEY (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED) / August 7, 2014 )
At MM 20 is an adorable little place that beckons to passers-by on little Sugarloaf Key. Tucked among the lush greenery is Mangrove Mama's. Right on the front of its golden menu, the restaurant promises "Olde Tyme Keys Atmosphere," and it delivers. It's packed with locals, a sure sign of a good thing!
Hidden among the banana trees and namesake mangroves, it stakes its reputation on fresh shrimp and fish with tropical flair, local lobster in season, conch fritters (a Keys fundamental), and the best Key lime pie. (OK, every other joint in the Keys claims that, but this version is definitely a contender.) If youd rather drink your dessert, try the Key lime martini.

Strikeforce fighter Tim Kennedy is coming off a losing effort in his second attempt at gaining the Middleweight championship. Kennedy got his latest title shot after beating Robbie Lawlor by Unanimous Decision in July 2011. In his post fight speech, Kenny campaigned for a rematch against then-champ "Jacare" Souza, but before that could happen current champion Luke Rockhold won the belt then defended against UFC veteran Keith Jardine. After losing a clear decision to Rockhold in July, Tim Kennedy is ready to get back in the win column.
Yesterday, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker announced his next match via Twitter:
Just added to the Nov. 3 card in Okla. City: an exciting middleweight bout between @timkennedymma & Trevor Smith— Scott Coker (@cokersf) September 20, 2012
Trevor Smith is a former Light Heavyweight who's gained 9 of his 10 career victories via submission finish. Following a TKO loss to Gian Villante at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine in January, Smith decided it was time to cut weight. He made a successful 185 lb. debut at a regional promotion in June and is ready to return to Strikeforce.
They'll meet in the hexagon at Strikeforce's November 3 event in Oklahoma City, OK. Heavyweight Grand Prix champion Daniel Cormier was set to face former UFC champion Frank Mir, but Mir pulled out of the fight due to injury. No new opponent has yet been announced.

large platter
This is a large platter, very nice to work with.I recommend this product.
Quite Lovely
I love this platter. I also ordered the 4 piece place setting of these dishes earlier and I wanted the platter and bowl but at the time these were not offered in Coffee Bean. Then they were and I was thrilled to be able to get them. The quality is terrific and I love the shape of the platter, it's so appealing and different. These dishes set such a beautiful table. I am so happy with them I will be ordering another 4 pc place setting and perhaps another bowl and platter too. When I serve a group of 8 people I can make a big dinner with lots of sides and have plenty of these gorgeous dishes, platters, and bowls to make my table quite lovely. The value for the money on these is superb!I recommend this product.

Swahili Music Festival brings more buzz to Stone Town Welcome to Zanzibar for the friendliest festival on Planet Earth!
SAUTI ZA BUSARAis organized by Busara Promotions - a non-governmental, non-political, non-profit cultural organization registered in Zanzibar "to promote and develop opportunities for local and international music and performing artists within the East African region, work to strengthen the local arts infrastructure and build networks internationally, for the social, cultural and economic growth of Africa and the dhow region.
Please read what the oldest Musician says!
BI KIDUDE (Zanzibar). Sauti za Busara 2005 Guest of Honour. Bi Kidude is an institution on Zanzibar, and remains East Africa's greatest living musical legend. The doyenne of Zanzibar taarab, she also will be playing other musical styles at the festival, including unyago and msondo ngoma, more commonly associated with local women's initiation rites. Bi Kidude's exact date of birth is unknown, much of her life story is uncorroborated, giving her an almost mythical status. She started out her musical career in the 1920s, and learnt many of her songs with Siti bint Saad. As Bi Fatuma binti Baraka (Bi Kidude) herself says,
"How can I stop singing? When I sing I feel like a 14-year old girl again.
"This intriguing and inspiring woman is a repository and leading exponent of Swahili culture. Bi Kidude has traveled widely and performed at many international festivalsin India, Japan, the Middle East and Africa. Her latest European Tour in 2004 lasted a full three months where she was setting the festivals and concert venues ablaze and receiving rapturous reviews for her performances with Zanzibar's CultureMusical Club taarab orchestra. With her humble manner, incredible stagepersonality, voice and strength, Bi Kidude is a favourite with audiences wherever the group performs. Midway through this tour, the whole of Zanzibar was thrown into shock and disarraywhen a rumour spread fast through the island that Bi Kidude had died. From thenarrow streets of Stone Town to the barazas of N'gambo and throughout the villages this was the only topic of conversation as the island rapidly acquired theatmosphere of mourning. The rumour continued to spread even long after theBusara Office had disseminated confirmation from Bi Kidude's European promoters that on the contrary, she was alive and very well. She may have been surprised to hear that people in Zanzibar thought she has died:
"I haven't died yet. Maybe people are saying that because they haven't seen mearound for almost a month. But we are still continuing our tour, which continues for two more months. Me, I'm well, I have no problem. I sing with all my strength and will continue to make people happy until the day I die."

Cowboys add Brandon Sharpe instead of Jay Moore
Todd Archer reports: "The Cowboys got tired of waiting for outside linebacker Jay Moore to show up, so they have instead signed Texas Tech-ex Brandon Sharpe to help fill out the linebacker depth. The Cowboys cut wide receiver Verran Tucker on Friday and were expected to sign Moore and the move was even announced by Stephen Jones." Sharpe will wear No. 54 in camp.

The Presque Isle Bay Advisory Committee will continue it's work, even though the federal government last month took the bay off a list of Great Lakes environmental trouble spots.
The committee today reached a consensus to expand it's work to include tributary streams and possibly nearby Lake Erie waters. A formal vote is expected at the next meeting.
Meantime, the group learned that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is ready to launch a $250,000 study of bay fish, water, and sediment. But the EPA grant is being held up by the federal government sequester.
Lori Boughton of the DEP Office of the Great Lakes said, "So my request is sitting, waiting to see what happens with the continuing resolution at the end of this month and whatever sort of readjustments they need to make to their budget due to the sequester."
The advisory group has been monitoring the health of the bay for more than 20 years.

Guys. This has got to stop.
A Doctor Who page I like on Facebook posted a photo that basically said it was shameful to not have watched the classics.
Then people made comments on it, saying a variety of things from "Then they're not a true Whovian!" to "People who haven't seen the classics are so thick minded."
I for one have not seen the classics. Why? I have three reasons:
Because I wasn't alive when they came out.
Because no one has access to all of them.
Because I'm perfectly happy with the information I have from the new series.
Calling someone who hasn't seen the classics "not a true Whovian"
is like calling someone who doesn't have a Pottermore "not a true Potterhead". It's mean, offensive, and quite frankly, makes those people look bad because they're acting as though they're better than others.
Yes, I think it's important that Whovians know Russell T. Davies decided to bring back Doctor Who and that "Rose" is not the first ever episode. I think it's important that Whovians acknowledge the fact that there were eight Doctors before Eccleston and that he is not One (Which most people do).
But it is not fair to sit there and call someone who hasn't seen the classics an "untrue Whovian" or "just a fangirl/boy" or "a Tennant buttsniffer". Everyone who likes Doctor Who in general is a Whovian, no matter how many episodes they've seen, how long they've been one, how much merchandise they have, or any of that. Those who think otherwise are only snobby jerks who are bullying their fellow fandommates.
I'm reblogging this cause more people need to see.

If you own a natural gas-powered car you'll soon have places to fuel up here in north central West Virginia.
IGS Energy CNG Services said it will build and operate a $10 million natural gas fueling corridor in West Virginia starting right away, in Bridgeport.
The company said it plans to build four stations three of those in West Virginia.
"This is the first infrastructure option that West Virginians will have to fuel their cars on compressed natural gas. Clearly, there are a lot of advantages to using CNG. It's cleaner, it's domestic right here in West Virginia which cuts our dependence on foreign oil and it's also extremely cheap," said TJ Meadows, of CNG Services.
The Bridgeport station should be up and running in about nine months.

NEW YORK (AP) Beyonce has released her new album in an unconventional way: She announced and dropped it on the same day.
The singer released "Beyonce" exclusively on iTunes early Friday. She mirrors how Jay Z released "Magna Carta Holy Grail" earlier this year through a deal with Samsung where he gave the album to 1 million users of Galaxy mobile phones days before its official release.
Beyonce's fifth effort features 14 songs and 17 videos. Jay Z, Drake and Frank Ocean make guest appearances on the album, while the closing track, "Blue," features her daughter Blue Ivy. Justin Timberlake co-wrote the songs "Rocket" and "Partition," and Pharrell, Timbaland, Ryan Tedder, Miguel and Sia also co-wrote tracks.
The album caused a stir on social media websites, with fans posting about the release early Friday morning. Twitter said Beyonce's album release generated over 1.2 million tweets in 12 hours, with a tweets-per-minute spike of 5,300. The tweets-per-minute count around the album surpassed the record set when the Syfy TV movie "Sharknado" aired in July, Twitter added.
Billboard said Friday that "Beyonce" will likely debut on top of its charts next week.
"Our early numbers are showing that this is likely heading toward a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart with only three days of the tracking week," said Bill Werde, the editor of Billboard. Billboard closes the tracking week on Sundays, and typical albums are released on Monday or Tuesday.
On Friday afternoon, the explicit and clean versions of "Beyonce" ranked No. 1 and No. 2 on the iTunes albums chart.
Along with Beyonce and Jay Z, other leaders in pop music have released albums in new ways recently: For her "Red" album last year, Taylor Swift had partnerships with Target, Walgreens and Papa John's; and Lady Gaga sold 440,000 copies of her "Born This Way" album on Amazon for just 99 cents when it was on sale for two days in 2011, helping the album sell 1.1 million in its debut week.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Rico Lewis knows how to describe funk: "The essence of funk I think is freedom. ... It's more of a feel. You're supposed to be able to let your hair down, do what you feel."
Lewis should know.
He played drums for 15 years with the influential Parliament and Funkadelic bands led by funk guru George Clinton, who once reportedly said, "Funk is nothing but jazzed-up blues."
Lewis recently retired from the band to move back to the Midwest and to focus on his newly created not-for-profit, Funk for the Cure. Lewis, his brother Maurice Jackson and Funk for the Cure co-founder Michelle Draper hope their organization will benefit such groups as the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation.
The Komen foundation raisers awareness and funds to fight breast cancer.
Cancer is a disease that has struck members of their families.
"Cancer has really affected all of us and not in a good way. Our grandfather died of cancer a few years ago. My grandmother died of cancer," said Maurice Jackson. "We want to do something to give back and help."
On the day earlier this year when Jackson and Lewis' grandmother, Virginia Patterson, was buried, Draper's mother passed away. Her mother had worked with the Komen foundation in Florida.
"My mom passed away in May and that's what inspired me," Draper said. "Our main goal is raise funds and get more awareness out there."
Funk for the Cure organizers hope that by bringing live — and funky — music to are venues, attention will be drawn to the cause.
"It's not a young thing; it's not an old thing. It's not a black thing; it's not a white thing," said Lewis. "It's a unity thing. I want people to come to the concerts and support a good cause."
They'll kick off the concerts with a performance by Sons of F.U.N.K., a Lewis-led band that is scheduled to include some members of the Parliament-Funkadelic (P-Funk) family. Also set to perform are Lewis' cousin Teddy Patterson, who was a member of the funk group Power Train. The Patterson family still gets together for a reunion where they play music. Rico Lewis is the brother of well-known basketball star Troy Lewis.
Though Rico Lewis can define the essence of funk, he's hoping the music presented at the Nov. 21 concert will appeal to all.
"We're catering to everyone's needs for this Thanksgiving bash," he said.
"I had the privilege to grow up when music was music. You had to know how to play something," said Lewis. "My mother grounded me once because I missed marching band practice. But I'm glad she did. It made me the person I am today."

There will be no surprise when it comes to the 2010 NFL MVP: it goes to Tom Brady, the statistical leader among all quarterbacks and the quarterback of the best NFL team in the regular season.
The Patriots quarterback not only won the award, he won it unanimously, becoming the NFL's first unanimously selected MVP by collecting all 50 votes. But that doesn't seem like a particularly strange feat considering his year: Brady led a Patriots team most expected to compete but not dominate to a 14-2 record, the NFL's best, and Brady's statistics may have been more impressive.
Brady completed 65.9% of his passes for 3,900 yards despite being pulled late in a number of blowouts, and threw for 36 touchdowns against just four interceptions. That ratio is an NFL record, breaking Brady's old mark set in 2007, his other NFL MVP season.
Perhaps most impressively, Brady set an NFL record for flawlessness with a brilliant streak of interception-free play. Brady threw 334 consecutive passes without an interception to finish the regular season, setting a new NFL record, and will have a chance to extend that streak in 2011.

I'm not quite sure if we did one of these earlier in the year or not, but I'd still like to have one now, seeing as it is the last game of the season and against our division rivals. This game proves to be a big factor for both of our teams. For us Lions fans, this game is for bragging rights and for an optimistic view for next season. For you guys, it seems like it might be another game for the Joe Webb experiment or Brett Favre's last game ever. Either way, I think this will be a game that neither of us wants to lose. Now for some questions:
I've seen some Viking fans spreading the love around Webb, and some not. Do you guys want to see more of Webb or have Favre go out in his last game? Do you think Webb could be your QB of the future?
What areas of your team have improved/diminished as the season has come to a close? What are your expectations for next year/ what are you excited for?
I believe many Pride of Detroit guys will be on here answering questions and having a little fun smack talk other than just me, so ask away.

I love our national pastime because that's what I grew up with, but it's changing. I'm not talking about the designated hitter or the specialty players who only pitch against left-handed hitters, but it's the constant change on the 25 man rosters. A manager will call up a pitcher to pitch one game and then send him back down to the minors the same night. I'm a little leery of a player who's put on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to 10 days prior. I long for the good old days when the 25-man roster played the 150 plus games.
It was refreshing to hear Philadelphia Philly's pitcher Cole Hamels, admit that he intentionally hit the Washington Nationals' outstanding rookie, Bryce Harper in the back with a 93 mph fastball. It was one of those "welcome to the big leagues; rookie"pitches. It was nice to hear Hamels say the truth, but he paid for it with a five-day suspension and this issue not over because retaliation is sure to come. The brush back pitch has been around forever, and it certainly was a part of notable pitchers like Nolan Ryan, Bob Gibson, and Don Drydale's repertoire. This is professional baseball, so pitchers cannot let hitters have the inside corner, or else they won't be around for long. The hitters naturally like to extend their arms and don't like to be tied up inside. It's not a given, because some major-league hitters can turn on an inside fastball. I think one of the stupidest rules in baseball is the warning to the pitcher who threw the "bean ball" and his manager plus the opposing pitcher and his manager. You can rest assure you will hear the other pitcher say something like this "what did I do?"The inside pitch is taken away for the rest of the game. I understand the safety implications, and I certainly don't condone going for the head, but that inside corner belongs to the hitter and the pitcher. It was common to see a pitcher pluck the next hitter who stepped up to the bat after his team mate hit a home run, the player would attack the mound and an old fashion donnybrook would break out but it was rare to see someone get hurt. It was more like several bantam roosters putting on a show. One was scared and the other was glad of it. The funniest one I ever saw was where Nolan Ryan taught Robin Ventura to never charge the mound while he's occupying it.
Last night I heard the Astro announcers say that Jose Reyes of the Miami Marlins had the most steals by an opposing player in Minute Maid Park with a paltry sum of 12. That told me that teams in the National League Central Division don't do a lot of stealing. It's mind startling when these announcer points out that a position player hasn't bunted since 2009. To put it in perspective, Minute Maid has been around for 12 years and the player who is not bunted since 2009 probably had 1200 plate appearances. I'm not talking about the third, forth, or fifth-place hitter. The fans of today want to see a lot of scoring, home runs, and are not interested in the small ball game, like stealing, taking pitches, moving runners around, or bunting.
I know it's early, and I have an Astro bias but this year's team is something to watch because they can hit. The advantage of having the second youngest team in the majors is that the manager has their undivided attention. It's like coaching 13 and 14 year olds in contrast to coaching 16 and 17 year olds. The players are excited to be on a major-league roster, so they don't get upset sharing a position, being substituted for, or being scolded for not playing all out. I've been watching Astros second baseman Jose Altuve for a year and 1/2 now, and I think he's a legitimate major league hitter and has the stats to prove it. Another one I'm enjoying watching is shortstop Jed Lowrie, who has come through in the clutch many times and has yet to make an error. I'm not saying they'll make the playoffs, but I can see them winning 75 games this year because they satisfy my yen for old school baseball.
I wonder if I'll ever see Pete Rose enshrined into the Baseball Hall of Fame where the player who had more hits than anyone belongs. Charlie Hustle paid his debt to society, and he certainly played every game as if it was the 9th inning of a seventh World Series game.
