"People in Miami are becoming more aware of what's going on and they're not willing to take the crap," offers Ambrosino, whose gallery's opening for its current group show, "Body of Work," was jammed the same weekend as the art fair. "They're more selective."
Maybe a swimsuit fashion show would have helped. In any case, the fair seems to have lost its cachet as a place for culturally curious locals to see and be seen. But despite Art Miami's ups, downs, and errors, collectors and curators continue to visit here at the time of the fair. "People put this on their calendar as a place to be in January, despite the mixed quality of the fair," says Snitzer. "So we're either going to have to fix that fair or make something better. It's got to be all or nothing.

Angelucci, Manuela, and Giacomo De Giorgi. 2009. "Indirect Effects of an Aid Program: How Do Cash Transfers Affect Ineligibles' Consumption?" American Economic Review, 99(7): 486-508.
Cash transfers to eligible households indirectly increase the consumption of ineligible households living in the same villages. This effect operates through insurance and credit markets: ineligible households benefit from the transfers by receiving more gifts and loans and by reducing their savings. Thus, the transfers benefit the local economy, at large; looking only at the effect on the treated underestimates the impact. One should analyze the effects of this class of programs on the entire local economy, rather than on the treated only, and use a village-level randomization, rather than selecting treatment and control subjects from the same community.

Subject | Potential Classloader bug |
Date | Thu, 02 Aug 2001 12:48:02 GMT |
Cocoon has a potential classloader issue. The Excalibur that comes with Cocoon has support for the <driver/> entry in the JdbcDataSource--and uses the Context ClassLoader to load the driver's class. The only problem is that even though the class is properly loaded, it is not loaded in the same classloader that created the JdbcDataSource. Now, the question becomes: Should JdbcDataSource use the context classloader, or should Cocoon fix the classloader issue? If JdbcDataSource does it, that means the class will be loaded by the same classloader that created JdbcDataSource. This may or may not be a bad thing. If JdbcDataSource is loaded by the Boot ClassLoader, then the driver will be loaded for the Boot ClassLoader. The thing is that the JdbcDataSource works fine when the ClassLoader in the Context ClassLoader (Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()) is the same one or a parent of the classloader that loaded the JdbcDataSource. There is some wierdness with the DriverManager.getConnection() so it may be that the Driver class should be loaded with the the same classloader as JdbcDataSource. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, email: email@example.com | |

During 2009 and 2010, labor unions reported spending a combined $46.7 million on messaging designed to aide their preferred federal political candidates, according to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics. This figure represents 16 percent of all such spending by non-party committees — the lowest amount in years.
In the closing stretch of the 2010 midterm elections, American Crossroads raised a staggering $3.8 million, according to a Center for Responsive Politics review of the group's "post-general" campaign finance report, which was filed with the Federal Election Commission Thursday. Since its founding in March, American Crossroads has now raised $28 million.
In just seven months, American Crossroads, the highest profile conservative "Super PAC," has raised more than $24.17 million* in the hopes of tilting the November midterm elections in favor of the Republican Party.
Whether you call it a "527 committee," an "independent expenditure-only committee" or a "super PAC," the conservative outfit American Crossroads continued to demonstrate its fund-raising prowess in August.

Part of Oklahoma State's Football 101 for Women clinic on Friday was a presentation from David Warden, the Big 12's Assistant Coordinator of Football Officials. He came decked in referee gear and with a flag in hand. He used video footage to demonstrate each official's responsibility on the field and explained some of college football's new rules for 2012.
During a Q&A following his presentation, Quinn Sharp's missed field goal at the end of regulation against Iowa State — a game OSU eventually lost in double overtime — came up.
Warden happened to be in the replay booth during that game and expressed confidence the right call was made on that kick. He explained a field goal can only be reviewed if the ball is lower than the upright. Sharp's kick was not—it went straight over the top. And he emphasized that the entire ball needs to be inside the upright in order for a kick to be good.
"I'm very comfortable the back judge made the correct judgment," Warden said.
Not exactly what a room full of Cowboy fans wanted to hear. But it offered some clarity on the rules, why the kick was no good and why it was called on the field the way that it was without a review.

Now, another Syrian activist, one who says he was in the house yesterday with those foreign journalists when it was shelled. He goes by the name Abo Bakr, and he's a resident of the Baba Amr neighborhood in Homs that's been under siege for 20 days now. After the attack that killed Marie Colvin and Remi Ochlik, Abo Bakr says he fled to a nearby house, already occupied by a family. He is now one of 20 people hiding in the two-room house. I spoke with Abo Bakr earlier today through an interpreter, and I began by asking him to describe yesterday's attack.
ABO BAKR: (Through translator) We were bombed yesterday with 25 rockets. We were not targeted. Nobody knew our location. We were hosting six foreign journalists. We were hearing so many explosions around us, but then the sound got closer until one rocket hit the backyard of the house. Then rockets started hitting the roof, and that resulted in the roof falling down completely. We were working in this place. The shelling intensified, and we decided to leave the building in groups. The second group was preparing to leave. That group had the journalists who were killed.
BLOCK: Activist Abo Bakr says he was with journalist Edith Bouvier when she was injured hiding in a corner of the house. We were holding each other, he said, with the rockets falling like rain above our heads. After the attack, he says he carried Bouvier to the nearest car and took her to a makeshift hospital. Immediately after they left, two more rockets hit the house. I asked him to tell me as much as he safely could about where he is now.
BAKR: (Through translator) I'm in Homs, in Baba Amr. There has been an intensive shelling since the early hours of the morning. Snipers are located in buildings around the neighborhood. Baba Amr is a middle-class neighborhood. Houses here are either one or two stories. This makes it easy for snipers to kill people. They're entertaining themselves by killing the people in front of them, in addition to shelling us.
BLOCK: Since the attacks yesterday, would you say that the bombing in this part of Homs, is it as intense as yesterday, more intense, or is there any sign that the army has stepped back?
BAKR: (Through translator) The intensity of the shelling has not changed since day one. Now I'm sitting in this house, and I could be killed at any moment, like what happened yesterday. At any moment now, a rocket could hit.
BLOCK: How are people surviving in Homs, Abo Bakr?
BAKR: (Through translator) It is as if we are living in a prison, but in an open prison, a prison where if anybody goes out, they can get killed. People are surviving on the water they have in their houses. There is no food, no clean water. All we have here is some light food. Sometimes we don't even eat. Yesterday and the day before, I didn't eat. The day before that, I ate only onions and garlic.
BLOCK: The international community, Abo Bakr, is meeting in Tunis. It's called Friends of Syria - 70 countries from around the world trying to figure out how to respond to what's going on in your country. What's your message to them?
BAKR: (Through translator) Syrian blood is so cheap. More than 10,000 men, women and children have been killed. These are massacres. Then for two people, an American and European, there are many statements from Europe. This man and woman are good friends of ours. I'm not talking badly about them, but just look how cheap the Syrian blood is for the international community in general and for the Arab community specifically.
(Through translator) Our message to the international community is to provide humanitarian corridors for us here in Baba Amr. We have more than 500 martyrs in the last 20 days. This is a huge number. I don't want to say they were just killed. They were shattered by these rockets. You walk here in Bab Amr and foul odors are everywhere because of the body parts scattered here and there. There are many bodies under the rubble that we can't get out. The situation is very tragic. We demand humanitarian corridors for medicine, food and clean water. We just want to live as half-humans, not even full human beings.
BLOCK: Apart from those humanitarian corridors, Abo Bakr, are you asking the international community to intervene militarily in Syria right now?
BAKR: (Through translator) The only solution for the Syrian revolution is the military solution and to have a no-fly zone. After the no-fly zone, we must be supported militarily. This is the only solution for our revolution to succeed. Bashar al-Assad has no mercy. Baba Amr is a residential area. There are only citizens, unarmed people. We just want a no-fly zone and limited military support. With our strong wills, we can defeat Bashar al-Assad.
BLOCK: Abo Bakr, it's good of you to talk with us today. Thank you very much.
BAKR: Thank you. Thank you very much.
BLOCK: That's a Syrian activist who goes by the name Abo Bakr speaking with us from the besieged neighborhood of Baba Amr in the city of Homs.

NFL Injury Report
Last updated 11/11/14
Matt Cassel is no longer a starting quarterback in the NFL. Since his departure from the Kansas City Chiefs, Cassel has landed with the Minnesota Vikings. Christian Ponder is the Vikings' starter. That much has been made clear to Cassel.
Cassel was once celebrated as a diamond in the rough. When Tom Brady went down with a knee injury and Cassel replaced him, Cassel was impressive. However, he struggled when he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. Now, he will serve a back-up role with the Vikings.
According to Cassel himself in a media conference call, Cassel has said he's ready to help develop Ponder and serve the back-up role. If the Vikings can manage to have a decent amount of success like they did last year, this could work out to be a better deal for Cassel.
Cassel lost his job in Kansas City for a brief period, so he knows what the back-up role feels like again. In Kansas City Cassel was faced with the prospect of being the back-up on a bad team. At least in Minnesota, he could be the back-up on a decent to good team.

Sounds reasonable http://moviepilot.com/posts/2014/02...toy-story-even-more-epic&subscribe_to=1247874
I love it! There are so many things inside the PIXAR movies that connect back to each other. I'm sure this is one of them.
I see two different ages online for the first movie...6 and 8. Where is the 6 coming from? Andy seems awfully advanced for a 6 year old...
That is pure genius.....I would have never guessed that----just genius. Can't believe I did not connect the dots. Now I did spot Sid as the garbage truck man because of his ugly tshirt....but not this. Just WOW!!!!!!!
Nicely done by the author. Just one thing bothers me..... Molly is a baby in the first movie, which means Andy's father either died or walked out not long before the movies started. Why is every father who isn't present in a narrative assumed to be a deadbeat dad? He could be serving in the military, he could be working overseas to provide for the family, he could be kicked out by the mom who decided he wasn't her type after all. Oh well, we'll just assume he's dead.
Technically, if he's dead, he's not really a deadbeat Dad. I think it's just cleaner when the story doesn't address it to assume that a missing is dead. That way you don't project any bad actions or motives onto the Mom or her missing partner.
The author said he was either dead or "walked out". I was taking "walked out" to mean he abandoned the family, I don't hear that phrase used any other way. I agree with you (in fact, just because he doesn't appear in the movies doesn't mean he's not there), it's the author of the article that made the assumption.
Like in "Peanuts," the parents are irrelevant to the story. The Dad doesn't matter - neither does the Mom, really - but they chose to show her to us to help tug at our heart strings... Dad might be down in the living room reading the paper.
http://www.hypable.com/2014/02/24/andys-mom-jessie-toy-story-theory-director-denial/ The director of Tot Story 3 has pretty much shot this "theory" down. Sorry guys!
I know the article is suggesting it isn't true but I just don't see where the theory is being shot down. It DOES say that it must not be true because he doesn't want to talk about it. Which doesn't make any sense to me.
I think his tweets kind of make fun of the pixar theories that people come up with. I would take that as him saying it isn't true. If it were true, I think they would have implied it much heavier than the "evidence" this theory provided.
I could be wrong but I believe I read somewhere that humans are really expensive to animate so they left him out because they didn't feel that he was necessary to the plot.
...or perhaps he's keeping something under wraps. If there IS a TS4 being considered, and this IS something of a plot point, would ANYONE admit to it?
If Pixar did Toy Story 4, it would focus on a story revolving around Bonnie and her family. It was made clear in Toy Story 3 that Andy has moved on. But for now, I'm really enjoying the TV specials! Can't wait for the Christmas special coming later this year!
Really enjoyed this article and the possibilities it suggests. I think I'm going to rewatch the three of them now...
This is so true and this is why I believe the author or blogger completely!!!!!! You just can't make something like that up-----just admit it instead of denying it. Hm.... that's a good idea on this slow Oscar Sunday. Thor 2 came out this weekend so I wanted to watch that----but it's completely sold out everywhere on Redbox and all the streaming websites want you to buy it----it's less than 20 bucks so I might just have to.

Some web site challenges are not as daunting as they appear—while the payoff for meeting them can be far greater than expected. That's what some experts in making retail web sites accessible to people with disabilities contend in the aftermath of legal action initiated against Target Corp. by the National Federation of the Blind and a consumer group.

Friday February 20, 2015Q&A with Eugene G. Iredale
Q: Over the course of your career, have the kinds of cases that come to you shifted? If so, does it represent a change in the larger culture?
A: You know what I've noticed? The mentality that you used to see only in drug cases is the same mentality that you see in many white-collar cases.
Q: Meaning?
A: Meaning that at some point, the people who do business in this country adopted the ethic of gangsters. Except that the drug dealers are far more honest and straightforward.
-- from my Q&A with San Diego criminal defense attorney Eugene G. Iredale. The whole interview is worth reading even if you don't care about the law but do care about any of the following: nuance, literature, battling against bullies, and "lessons of common human decency and politeness."
John Oliver Has Dogs Reenact U.S. Supreme Court Arguments
The Scalia dog is a no-brainer but I thought the Ginsburg was inspired.
Not only hilarious but a real public service in a country where two-thirds of its citizens can't number one member of the high court.
No Reasoning with Conservative SCOTUS
I love the lede to (if not the import of) Adam Liptak's story today:
The Supreme Court on Saturday allowed Texas to use its strict voter identification law in the November election. The court's order, issued just after 5 a.m., was unsigned and contained no reasoning.
The dissent, at least, was signed by Justice Ginsburg, and condemned the Court's conservative branch, as well as Texas, for actions that risk "denying the right to vote to hundreds of thousands of eligible voters." It's actually more like half a million, she says later in the dissent: 600,000, or 4.5 percent of all registered voters.
Texas' 2011 voter I.D. law went into effect after SCOTUS, in Shelby County v. Holder (2013), struck down Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which required states with a history of disenfranchisement to, as Liptak writes, "obtain federal permission before changing voting procedure." Since then, the South has been all yee-ha about changing its voting procedures. But legitimately, you understand.
Their argument: voter fraud is so rampant (despite no evidence, and particularly not in-person at the polls) that voters should be required to show a photo I.D. at the polls. Sadly, 600,000 registered voters in Texas don't have a driver's license, gun license, passport or military I.D. But ... SOL. Most of these folks, of course, are minorities.
But it sounds reasonable, doesn't it? Until you realize that, for example, no one in Washington state has to show a photo I.D. to vote, since we're entirely an absentee ballot state now. We must be crawling with fraud.
To me, what Texas and many southern states are doing these days is Jim Crow dressed up. It's James Crow. Too bad the Court doesn't see it that way—or give a reason why they don't.
Conservative court backs James Crow laws in Texas. No reason necessary.
Boies on Colbert
While P and I were in Europe, super lawyers David Boies and Ted Olson, who argued opposite sides of Bush v. Gore before the U.S. Supreme Court in December 2000, and who became friends afterward and teamed up on the Prop 8 case, were on Stephen Colbert's show. You should watch the whole interview, but this part cracked me up:
Olson: I think that [Bush v. Gore] was a solid decision. Of course, I may be a little biased. But I think David agrees actually.
Colbert: I'm afraid we don't have time for his answer.
Boies: That's exactly what the Court said.
Even Colbert, master of the quick-witted response, was impressed.
I got to interview both men in January in New York, which was a great if nervewracking pleasure, and even got to correct Mr. Boies on his baseball knowledge. (My wheelhouse, apparently.) He used Babe Ruth as a metaphor for someone who hits a lot of homeruns but still strikes out a lot —more than anyone else in baseball history, he added. I had to tell him that the Babe was usurped in strikeouts long ago, and that Reggie Jackson holds the mark now. In fact, and obviously I didn't have this knowledge at the time, but the Babe is currently 107th on the career strikeout list with 1330—about half of Reggie's total.
That was a small sidebar, of course. Most of our interview was about the law in general, and the push for the federal constituational right for same-sex marriage in particular. Read the whole interview here.
Let me add that I could listen to David Boies talk about almost anything. He has a moment on "Colbert," and it comes at about 4:40 in the above link, where I just fall in love with him all over again. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Respectfully, Justice Scalia, It's the Troposphere
I love this SCOTUS nugget from Ryan's Lizza's post, "Barack Obama, Left Conservative," on the Obama administration's new stance on the dangers of, and regulation of, carbon dioxide.
According to Lizza, it all began with a lawsuit from James R. Milkey, who sued the federal government on behalf of the state of Massachusetts, whose coastlines were eroding due to global warming. Initally people thought Milkey was daft for his lawsuit. Five years later, he was arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court, where this exchange took place:
"Your assertion," Justice Antonin Scalia, who was skeptical about the link between greenhouse-gas emissions and Massachusetts's disappearing coastline, said, "is that, after the pollutant leaves the air and goes up into the stratosphere, it is contributing to global warming."
"Respectfully, Your Honor, it is not the stratosphere," Milkey responded. "It's the troposphere."
"Troposphere, whatever. I told you before, I'm not a scientist. That's why I don't want to have to deal with global warming, to tell you the truth."
Milkey won, 5-4. Now we are where we are. Which is way behind but at least in the game.

Safari extension highlight: MLB.com Toolbar
I'm a baseball fan, but other than my beloved Colorado Rockies and the rest of the NL West, I don't follow a lot of other teams. While it would be nice to have a browser window open to MLB.com all the time, my screen is just too cluttered with work for me to be able to keep an eye on what's going on in Major League Baseball and get work done. So what's a Mac-lovin' baseball fan to do?
One of the first Safari Extensions I downloaded was the MLB.com Toolbar. Written by the staff at MLB Advanced Media, it adds a tiny toolbar to the top of your Safari page, as well as an icon emblazoned with the unforgettable MLB icon. The extension displays scores of games in progress as well as games that are completed. As with the example above, you can see that the team logos are nicely rendered, the score is easy to see, and the winning (Ubaldo Jimenez 16-2!) and losing pitchers are listed. Each score remains visible for 5 seconds before fading away and being replaced with another.
A control on the right side of the toolbar allows you to stop the parade of scores and "fast-forward or rewind" to the next or previous score. If the scores are getting too distracting, you can make the toolbar disappear with a click on the MLB icon. Want to bring it back? Click again.
This extension is a perfect example of what a Safari extension should do -- add functionality without being too distracting. Let's hope that the NFL follows the lead of MLB with a well designed and executed scoreboard extension.

how can I hook up my site with a CMS such as WordPress ? (self.web_design)
submitted 1 year ago by maximaLz
Hello, and thanks.
I'm pretty new to CMS in general, so sorry if that sounds funny but here goes :
I built a website, and I want to have a blog based on the same theme, in fact, I'd like to keep my html and my css, but have a title, a "short" article version, a "read more" button/link, and of course when clicking read more, accessing the full article.
I understood I have to play around with php, but I haven't started learning php properly yet.
I own a domain and a SQL database, so if somebody can give me a link to a tutorial or something, I'd be grateful!
Thanks in advance!
[–]jacquesdancona 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
If you have some exerience with php you can do this.
First, understand the anatomy of a Wordpress theme. Google it and and read this. The easiest way for you (probably) is to do it using a starter theme (like Bones, Roots, Underscores, etc) or just use the default Twenty Twelve theme. They have minimal css so it'll be pretty easy to just use your css. That's pretty much it.
[–]syous 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Essentially you are going to have to turn your current site's architecture into a WordPress them. There are other ways to do it, but this will teach you the most and let you write the cleanest code.
There's a great tutorial on developing your own theme for WordPress here. Don't skip chapters, don't put in partial effort. Spend the 4 - 8 hours going through the entire thing and actually learn from the examples.
[–]OnceInABlueMoon 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Download a couple themes and work on customizing them. Get a feel for the internal guts and then create your own when you are more comfortable. Baby steps.

Video - Zoe Saldana Has An Animated Conversation With A Friend
Zoe Saldana Has An Animated Conversation With A Friend
When 28.11.2011
Actress Zoe Saldana (Avatar; Star Trek; Colombiana) is seen walking to her car with a friend. The two girls are happily chatting and laughing together. Zoe says goodbye to her friend and hugs her and walks round to get into her car. She smiles at the photographers but doesn't talk to them.
Zoe is working on sequels to both Avatar and Star Trek, where she will reprise her respective roles of Neytiri and Uhura but she will next be seen in the upcoming 2012 drama The Words, alongside Bradley Cooper and Olivia Wilde. The Words is about an aspiring writer passing off another man's long lost work as his own and the consequences he faces from his plagiarism.

Graham to Steelers: 'Come and Get Me'
Ray Graham on the loose
(DiNovo/USA TODAY Sports)
By Jim Wexell
Posted Feb 23, 2013
INDIANAPOLIS Ray Graham used to walk past the Steelers practice field, on his way to the Pitt practice field, and hed sneak a peek or three.
Ray, get your nose on your own practice field! Steelers coach Mike Tomlin would holler, and then in all seriousness Tomlin would add: Youre not on this team!
Tomlin would turn back to the reporters standing next to him along the Steelers sideline and chuckle.
The guys who keep looking over here, who think they belong over here, those are the guys who do belong, Tomlin said. Shady was the same way. One time I walked in the training room and he was in the whirlpool with Willie Parker. I said, Shady, get outta here.
LeSean Shady McCoy would look good in a Steelers uniform about now.
Hey, so would Dion Lewis.
LaRod Stephens-Howling anyone?
Yes, the Steelers, with three free agents and without a jettisoned Chris Rainey, are in a bind at running back. They could use any of the aforementioned Pitt men.
How about it, Ray?
Itd be great, said Graham. Ive been there and seen a lot of practices, so I felt like Ive been a part of it already. I already visioned it.
Graham was specific with his wording. He didnt mean EN-vision. His emphasis was more akin to tunnel-vision.
Im always talking about vision, Graham said. Thats always the thing in the Bible. Youre supposed to have vision, vision that you put into reality. Thats why you dream big, man. I just think that, so, yeah, I believe it.
I was on his field, Graham continued. I practiced on his field. So one day when Im on his field again itll be second nature to me.
So, Graham remembers Tomlins teasing?
Oh, yeah, Graham said with a chuckle. He was always bothering me. Coach Mike, man, hes a great guy. I get a kick out of Coach Mike. Hes a good dude. He knows how to turn it on. He knows how to motivate you.
Graham has never been the type to need motivation. The half-brother of Rutgers linebacker prospect Khaseem Graham and son of former Purdue running back Raymond Graham loves the game, says its where I can be free. He even gives his moves names.
I name them as I go, Graham said. I dont really have a favorite move; I just like my chances one-on-one. I just think Im going to get the best of you.
Graham hopes to follow McCoy, Stephens-Howling and Lewis into the NFL, and succeed, as they are.
Graham, at 5-9, 199, fits right in with the group, size-wise, and statistically he finished ahead of all of them. Grahams 3,271 rushing yards and 4,943 all-purpose yards both rank second in school history behind Tony Dorsett.
Graham showed up at the NFL Combine about 10 pounds over his playing weight last season, but just above the 197 he was playing at as a junior when he tore his right ACL eight weeks into the season.
He returned last year to rush for 1,042 yards, but a hamstring injury took him out of the Compass Bowl. Graham returned to play in the East-West Shrine Game, but fumbled on his first carry.
Yeah, that killed me, he said here Friday. I felt bad, too, man, but you move on. Thats the only thing.
Ball security isnt an issue in scouts minds. They watched him closely the last four seasons. They saw him run inside with power, outside with speed, catch (98 receptions for 799 yards), and return kickoffs (38 at 22.1 avg.). They want to see something else this weekend.
I know a lot of people doubt me, Graham said. They dont know that Im back yet. But I just want to let everybody know that Im here to do everything, and Im healthy, Im feeling good, and Im back.
The Steelers already know plenty about Graham and havent talked to him here. He said he was getting an MRI during the bulk of his meeting night.
What about the MRI results?
The MRI was good. I came in today and they said the knees looking good, said the player who wants to be like Marshall Faulk more than anyone else.
But if McCoy (2nd round), Lewis (5th) and Stephens-Howling (7th) are the gauges, Graham can figure to be drafted anywhere from the third through fifth rounds.
Does he realize the Steelers are looking for a running back?
Oh, yeah, definitely, Graham said. Come and get me.
