Had I known that the Harry Potter series was going to end up here, in a dark and challenging world where life is not all magic spells and problems dispensed with a wave of a wand, I'd have probably gotten on board and read the books when they were coming out like everyone else. I had no idea that the tone of the material was going to age with Harry and his friends, that we would go through the difficult periods of adolescence, including awkward growth spurts and fumbled first loves. It's rather ingenious, really. If you started reading the Harry Potter novels at an age near Harry's, you'd grow up together.
I got into Harry Potter thanks to the movies, and while the series was never perfect--it didn't gel into inclusive moviemaking until the third installment; the sixth film, The Half-Blood Prince, stiffed--I looked forward to each new release even as I feared they wouldn't stick the landing. Thankfully, this turned out not to be the case, and I'd even go so far as to say the two-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is in contention as the best finish for any multi-film franchise ever. It does what very few big-budget series manage to do: it saves the best for last.
I covered both films at length upon their theatrical release. (Part 1 here, Part 2 over here.) My feelings about them pretty much stand. The first part is a lot of set-up, a slow burn as the full effects of the curse that Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) has inherited weighs on him and his friends. An early attack by Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) and his minions has left many of Harry's allies dead and wounded, and it's forced Harry, Hermione (Emma Watson), and Ron (Rupert Grint) into hiding even as they continue to carry out their mission. They must find all the Horcruxes, mystical objects that contain pieces of Voldemort's soul, secreted away presumably to protect them. Well, the secret is out, and that plan backfired.
But this half is less about destroying evil than it is about recognizing the dark places in oneself. Stranded in the wilderness, the teens must wrestle with their own doubt, fear, and anger. Their anxieties are reflected in the outer world by Voldemort's increased influence. Professor Snape (Alan Rickman) has taken over Hogwarts, while the dark lord has also gotten a few of his people into the magic council. This has turned the mystical realm into an oppressive, near-fascist state, where people are scared to stand up for fear they'd be knocked back down. The trio of teens will also have illusions shattered as more is revealed about the secret life of the late wizard Dumbledore, a good lesson in the moral difficulties of a life of ambition and power and the downside of hero worship. The whole thing culminates in a showdown with Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter), which shows the kids just how bad things can get. Torture, intimidation, prejudice--it's fairly heavy stuff, made all the heavier by the fact that The Deathly Hallows, Part 1 ends with heartbreak.
The Deathly Hallows, Part 2, then, is the kids getting it together and getting back in the fight. New clues give them leads on where the remaining three Horcruxes are sequestered. This allows for one of the entire series' most exciting action sequences: an underground battle in the goblin bank that quickly goes above ground. Way above ground! (Helena Bonham Carter doing an impression of Emma Watson when Hermione has disguised herself as Bellatrix, is also one of my favorite bits of acting in these movies.) The trail naturally leads back to Hogwarts, where Harry quickly wrests control from Snape and, now that he is fully exposed, attracts the attention of Voldemort. Armies amass, and the epic clash we've been waiting for finally occurs.
And one that looks way better on Blu-Ray than it did in the theater, I might add. Without the added 3D element, the dark screen is lifted from the movie and we can actually see all the fighting and special effects. (Sometimes too clearly: why are people falling and people in front of a fire still the most difficult effects to master?) There are many great sequences within the melee, including several designed to give certain characters their last rousing moments and the audience something to cheer about. Best of all, there is never a sense that victory is a foregone conclusion. The dark pallor that hangs over the first half, and the harsh escalation of tactics on Voldemort's part, are not rolled back to give us a bright and sunny climax. There is still much to fear here, and many things to dread.
It's kind of fitting that I saw Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on Thanksgiving eleven years ago, and that I would spend this past Thanksgiving revisiting the final two films in the cycle. I wouldn't exactly call it coming full circle, but there is a sense of satisfaction of seeing the series come to fruition. I know my reaction to the first film was that it was pretty good, but that it could have been better. It had the wobbly legs of a complicated, well-known property trying too hard to please too many different audiences. By this stage in the game, director David Yates and screenwriter Steve Kloves had enough experience with J.K. Rowlings' world to know where the balance lies, and also enough faith in every member of the audience to know that we've come this far and we are on board regardless of how we first came to Hogwarts. There is a freedom in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and it makes for smartly realized, nimbly executed finish.
Alternative audio options are French 5.1 (dubbed in Quebec) and Spanish 5.1, both Dolby Digital. Subtitles are available in both languages, as well as English Closed Captioning.
Physical bonuses include an envelope with four character cards, this time of Bellatrix, Voldemort, Ginny, and Neville. The 48-page hardback book Creating the World of Harry Potter: Growing Up collects together movie stills and on-set photos to show how much the actors have changed since 2001.
You also receive codes to access a digital "Ultraviolet" version of the movie. It's nice to get, even though the Ultraviolet program is the worst digital option. It's not really a download, because the copy you save to your computer requires the Flickster program to run, and so is not really compatible with your mobile devices (I watch my digital movies on my iPad). You can also stream the movies via an internet connection.
On-disc extras are on the main discs themselves, and there is also a bonus disc for each movie, both of which mainly focus on the ongoing documentary spread across all the Ultimate Editions, under the heading Creating the World of Harry Potter. The 47-minute 7th installment, "Story," is an excellent and extensive conversation with J.K. Rowling and screenwriter David Kloves about the back and forth between the books and the movies. The 50-minute 8th section, "Growing Up," catches us back up with the film series' main stars.
Both films also have the Warner Bros. Maximum Movie Mode, their excellent update of the audio commentary function, using both picture-in-picture and sidebar featurettes, called "Focus Points," to give a more interactive feel to the experience of watching the movie with enhanced commentary. If you take the time to watch any extras in this set, make it these.
For the Deathly Hallows, Part 1-specific bonuses, there are the following:
The Deathly Hallows, Part 2-specific bonuses are:
All extras are in high-definition.

Maccabi TA Loses in Final Four Basketball Semifinal
BOLOGNA - Maccabi Tel Aviv was defeated Friday evening by Panathinaikos Athens 83:75 at the Final Four, European basketball's showcase event, which took place in Bologna, Italy.
Some 3,000 Israeli fans arrived in Italy to support Maccabi as it faced the Greek team.
Maccabi hoped the momentum which it picked up during its last European outing, when it crushed Spanish outfit Tau Vitoria by 29 points two weeks ago, would continue.
Panathinaikos was a familiar opponent for Maccabi. The Greeks, with the help of Oded Katash, who left Maccabi one season before, beat Maccabi in the final of the 2000 Final Four in Thessalonika. Last year, Maccabi got its revenge in the SuproLeague Final Four in Paris.
In the second semifinal, two Italian clubs, Kinder Bologna, which will be playing on its home court, will face Benetton Treviso at 9.30 P.M. The game will also be shown live on Channel 1.

Most companies advertise bundle packages for customers to save money. I bundled up on cable, Internet, and telephone services with the cable company, and whenever the cable would go out, the Internet would go along with it. Once the cable went out for a couple of days, and the only way I was able to use the Internet was by using my cell phone's data plan. In order to divorce my Internet and cable services, I cancelled the Internet service from the cable company and signed up with ATT Internet. If one goes out, the other won't be affected.
Just last week a storm happened and the cable went out. When the storm cleared away, the cable was still out for hours. Continue reading

The family of homicide victim Anthony Spencer are pleading with witnesses to speak up and tell police about the night the aspiring rapper, whose stage name was Tony Trapz, was "basically executed."
"I'm asking, I'm begging, anyone, especially his friends, he invited you into his life, come forth and tell us who's responsible for taking my brother's life," a defiant Susan Spencer, the victim's older sister, said at a press conference on Tuesday morning.
Mr. Spencer, 23, was making music in an recording studio near Brimley and Lawrence early last Saturday morning when a suspect or suspects, entered the building and shot him at close range in the stomach, police said.
His friends put the wounded Mr. Spencer into a car and drove him to Scarborough Hospital. A second car driven by another group of friends made the trip as well. The victim was left at the hospital while everyone else fled.
Mr. Spencer, the father of a three-year-old girl, died at the hospital.
"We can come together and fix this. Our family needs closure, his daughter needs closure and the person responsible for this, I think you need closure," Ms. Spencer said.
Detective Sergeant Gary Giroux, the lead detective in the case, said police have not ruled out the possibility that the lyrics of Mr. Spencer's songs could have provoked the attack.
"Oftentimes rappers may direct or indirectly say or do something in their lyrics that may very well offend somebody, and disrespect is a motive for murder," Det. Sgt. Giroux said.Police have located the cars and interviewed the friends who drove the victim to the hospital. The friends provided little information, despite the fact that they were in the studio at the time of the shooting.
Det. Sgt. Giroux says that's likely because of a "traditional code of silence" within the community.
"This witness appeal is not being made directly towards the general public. It's being directed at the personal friends and associates of Anthony Spencer," Det. Sgt. Giroux said.
Police have not yet entered the recording studio at 799 Brimley Rd., but a search warrant should be issued within the next 24 hours.
Once there, police will look for shell casings, blood and hair fibers, but they'll also be looking for any recordings from that night which may have captured any evidence.
Mr. Spencer was not known to police prior to the shooting. To their knowledge, he was not involved with a gang.
Many of Mr. Spencer's recordings and videos can be seen on YouTube.
These videos refer heavily to gun violence and drugs. In one, Mr. Spencer, dressed in black and smoking what looks like a cigar, speaks to a shaky camera. At one point he states, "I'll shoot you in the face."
His sister Susan emphasized the pain her family is experiencing and their need for closure.
"Please come forward," she said. "He's not just a name in a newspaper, he's my baby brother."

Welcome Pause for Breath in Telluride
By A. O. SCOTT
Published: September 4, 2007
People who go to a lot of film festivals -- or people who come only to this one -- tend to speak of Telluride with special reverence. If it seems to exist on a higher plane than Cannes, Toronto or Sundance, this is not just a matter of altitude. The elevation -- more than 9,000 feet above sea level -- can certainly make you dizzy, and the approach, especially in a car coming north from Durango through the rust-colored, spruce-covered mountains of the San Juan Mountains, is breathtaking.
The surroundings make Telluride a perfect place for a film festival, the natural splendor and the difficulty of access combining to heighten the sense of specialness that is central to this festival's self-image. There are no prizes, and therefore no juries; no market, no press screenings, no red carpets or paparazzi photo calls. The ethos is open and egalitarian, with some exceptions, like the special passes for patrons and sponsors.
Everyone else waits in line together, and your place is inscribed on a slip of paper known as a Q. The word is part of the local idiom, as is the habit of referring to everything that happens here as part of ''the Show.''
Until the day it begins the contents of the Show are a closely held secret. But the mix usually includes an impressive array of restored or rediscovered older movies and a decent helping of imports from Cannes mixed in with a number of midsize American movies ready to descend into Toronto and the Oscar race. On Labor Day weekend, during the 34th edition of the festival, you could happily fill four days with treasures from the past: like ''The Big Parade,'' King Vidor's sweeping, silent antiwar melodrama from 1925, and ''The Way You Wanted Me,'' a 1944 melodrama from Finland. Or you could discover the work of Shyam Benegal, a living master of Indian cinema who was the subject of a generous and informative retrospective.
This year's notably strong Cannes lineup was represented by a number of prizewinners, including the Romanian film ''4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days,'' which won the Palme d'Or, and ''Secret Sunshine,'' from South Korea, whose lead actress, Jeon Do-yeon, was honored for her heart-rending performance as a young widow who moves to a strange town with her young son. And Julian Schnabel was here with another Cannes favorite, ''The Diving Bell and the Butterfly,'' his French-language film about Jean-Dominique Bauby, a magazine editor paralyzed by a stroke.
These Cannes movies -- and quite a few more that are here -- will land at the New York Film Festival at the end of the month. Others will soon feed awards-season chatter. For in spite of its high-mindedness Telluride is unmistakably a place where the industrial byproduct known as Oscar buzz is manufactured, albeit in artisanal form.
The number of movies selected is relatively small, around 35, and the quality level is unusually high for a festival. The excitement is fed by the audience's knowledge that it is frequently getting the first look at movies that everyone will be talking about, and also by the Telluride tradition of ''Sneak Previews.'' These are movies not on the original schedule that pop up by surprise, their presence announced on slips of paper that appear outside the screening locations each morning.
On Friday, the day the festival began -- it stretches through Labor Day, its brevity being another trait that distinguishes it from the 10-day (or longer) slogs elsewhere -- we knew we could see ''Into the Wild,''Sean Penn's adaptation of Jon Krakauer's best-selling book, and ''I'm Not There,''Todd Haynes's movie about (or not about, or inspired by, or having something to do with) Bob Dylan.
But we didn't know about ''The Savages,'' Tamara Jenkins's funny and unsparing look at a brother and a sister (Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman) coping with the deterioration of their elderly father. Nor did we have any warning about Jason Reitman's ''Juno'' or Brian De Palma's ''Redacted.''
These movies bumped up against ''Margot at the Wedding'' (starring Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Jason Leigh), Noah Baumbach's follow-up to ''The Squid and the Whale,'' and Alison Eastwood's debut feature, ''Rails and Ties,'' starring Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden. Ms. Harden has a role in ''Into the Wild'' as well, and not so long ago she appeared alongside Mr. Bacon and Mr. Penn in ''Mystic River,'' directed by Ms. Eastwood's father. Small world.
It certainly can feel like one here. Telluride is the kind of place you can see Mr. Penn window-shopping along Main Street without entourage or celebrity gawkers. Or where, at the open-air ''Feed'' on Friday night, you can spot Werner Herzog munching a samosa and sipping beer from a plastic cup. Mostly it is the kind of place where, for one long weekend, all anyone wants to talk about is movies.
I thought that Mr. Penn, a first-time visitor, and Mr. Herzog, a Telluride fixture, brought films that seemed especially well-suited to this box canyon in the midst of the wilderness. ''Encounters at the End of the World,'' Mr. Herzog's new documentary, takes him to Antarctica, where he meets a curious collection of researchers, wanderers, bizarre aquatic creatures and an errant penguin who abandons his peers to set off on a mysterious journey.
A human wanderer is the hero of ''Into the Wild,'' in which Mr. Penn follows Mr. Krakauer in reconstructing the life of Christopher McCandless, a young man who left behind his family and most of his earthly possessions in the early 1990s, ending up in the Alaskan wilderness. Mr. McCandless's travels took him across deserts, mountains and prairies before he ventured north, and Mr. Penn's film recreates his journey with stunning images of these American landscapes. It also delves deeply into its protagonist's complicated, intriguing personality, thanks to Emile Hirsch's smart, guileless and affecting performance. Mr. Penn may have found his heir as an actor.
Mr. Hirsch -- who up to now has been a likable enough presence in some not-always-likable movies -- was not the only brilliant young actor here for audiences to discover. There were also Zane Pais, touching and precise as Nicole Kidman's sensitive, confused son in ''Margot at the Wedding,'' and the tiny, fearless Ellen Page, star of ''Juno.'' Playing the title character, a 16-year-old girl who finds herself pregnant, Ms. Page seems almost too smart and funny for her own good.
Accidental pregnancy is turning into one of the year's big movie themes -- from Adrienne Shelly's ''Waitress'' to Judd Apatow's ''Knocked Up'' to ''4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days,'' which don't have much else in common -- and ''Juno,'' propelled by Diablo Cody's slangy firecracker of a script, takes it in some interesting and risky directions, free of sentimentality or sensationalism.
No doubt there will be more to say about these movies. The summer is over, and the Big Show is about to begin. The Toronto International Film Festival starts Thursday; the Academy Awards will be broadcast on Feb. 24. I hope it's not all downhill from here.

Oh yeah, that's exactly what we should be doing. And this is from MSNBC's supposedly non-biased news "anchor."
Via Mediaite:
On Tuesday, Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) appeared on MSNBC with anchor Thomas Roberts to discuss the measures Congress is considering to adopt in response to the mass shooting in Connecticut on Friday. Roberts pressed Kingston on lax gun ownership rights in this country, to which Kingston countered that many European nations with strict gun control measures still experience mass shootings. Roberts responded to that by asking if he was suggesting that Americans must remain "complacent" and "send our children to school to be assassinated?"

This chapter includes the following sections:
The powerful reporting framework of Enterprise Manager makes information about your managed environment available to audiences across your enterprise. Strategically, reports are used to present a view of enterprise monitoring information for business intelligence purposes, but can also serve an administrative role by showing activity, resource utilization, and configuration of managed targets. IT managers can use reports to show availability of sets of managed systems. Executives can view reports on availability of applications (such as corporate e-mail) over a period of time. Enterprise Manager ships with over 100 reports addressing these various needs; additionally customers create their own customized reports.
BI Publisher is Oracle's enterprise reporting server to author, manage, and deliver all types of highly formatted documents. End users can design report layouts directly in a web browser or using familiar desktop tools, dramatically reducing the time and cost required to develop and maintain reports. Extremely efficient and highly scalable, BI Publisher can generate tens of thousands of documents per hour with minimal impact to transactional systems.
Since Enterprise Manager Release 10.2, the product has shipped with Information Publisher, an embedded reporting solution. However, as of this release, the Information Publisher reporting framework is deprecated in favor of developing reports using the BI Publisher product. New reports must be developed using BI Publisher and old reports transition to the new technology. Enterprise Manager Information Publisher will continue to ship with Enterprise Manager 12c Release 4 (18.104.22.168) and the existing out-of-the-box reports based on this solution are still present and supported.
Customers can take advantage of the standard features of BI Publisher, such as generating reports in printable PDF format and scheduling with various delivery options such as e-mail, FTP, and print. Customers can also develop their own custom reports against the Enterprise Manager repository. Customers access BI Publisher reports using the BI Publisher UI or by launching the BI Publisher UI by selecting reports from within the Enterprise Manager console.
The integration between Enterprise Manager and BI Publisher allows the administrator to establish security settings in BI Publisher and Enterprise Manager so that an Enterprise Manager user can log on to BI Publisher with their Enterprise Manager user name and password. This authentication delegation mechanism works for the following:
Enterprise Manager native authentication (for example, repository/dbms-based authentication).
Enterprise Manager SSO backed by LDAP authentication.
BI Publisher will share the same LDAP authentication mechanisms that Enterprise Manager uses in this case. However, BI Publisher will not be configured to use SSO and will instead use the BI Publisher native login screen.
Enterprise Manager 12c provides a loose integration between BI Publisher and Enterprise Manager. BI Publisher is installed as a separate product into its own Oracle home directory.
You can develop new reports using either BI Publisher or the Enterprise Manager Information Publisher (IP) reporting framework based on your product requirements. However, Information Publisher reports are deprecated from release 12c Release 1 (220.127.116.11), therefore Oracle recommends BI Publisher.
BI Publisher reports have the following advantages:
Highly formatted, professional quality, output-only reports, with pagination and headers and footers.
PDF, XLS, and HTML output formats.
Enterprise Manager repository access model supported through Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) data source and per-process function for Virtual Private Database (VPD) (VPD is set as a logged on BIP user). Supports select statements and pipelined PL/SQL functions available to the MGMT_VIEW account.
BI Publisher report access model using "foldering" and granting access to folders.
Scheduling capabilities and delivery mechanisms (FTP and others).
Formats can be edited separately from the report definition.
Parameterize with BI Publisher parameter capabilities as a report is generated.
Enterprise Manager Information Publisher reports have the following advantages:
Reports that looks like Enterprise Manager console pages (no tight control over layout).
Tightly coupled with Enterprise Manager Oracle Management Services (OMS) and repository.
Integrated Dashboards.
BI Publisher reports have data model, layout, and translation components. The data model component is modeled using the BI Publisher UI. The report layout is generated using RTF templates. RTF templates are authored by BI Publisher report developers using the BI Publisher Desktop application, which is delivered as a Microsoft Word Plug-in.
A complete example of a BI Publisher report ships with the BI Publisher integration. This includes a data model and a report definition.
When a report has been developed and tested, all of these components can then be exported from BI Publisher as files and packaged as part of the plug-in.
For more information about the report development and packaging process, refer to the Programmer's Reference.
Enterprise Manager Information Publisher reports are defined in XML and packaged with the plug-in. These report definitions specify the layout and content of the report. You should use the BI Publisher interfaces to develop new report definitions. You should not utilize the Enterprise Manager Information Publisher PL/SQL APIs.
These APIs are still supported for reports included in plug-ins created before Enterprise Manager 12c Release 1 (22.214.171.124), but are converted to 12c Release 1 (126.96.36.199). These APIs are not supported for the development of new reports.

The Rise of Seattle's High-Tech Cluster, As Told By Madrona's Tom Alberg (Part 1)
(Page 3 of 3)
cutting expenses, and matching up expenses and cash flow better. Following the 2000 bust, they were really a strong player coming out of that. They've done a remarkable job.
X: So, back to Madrona's first venture fund, and the climate in the early 2000s…
TA: In 2000, we started investing. Everyone was overly enthusiastic in their investing. We probably invested in a few too many companies. By 2001, everyone was realizing this was going to be a serious recession. The stock market peaked in March 2000, but it took everybody a while to realize what was going on fully. We stopped funding some companies, and we concentrated our resources in other companies. Some of our best companies were Impinj, Isilon—it's taken a long time to get to this point.
In terms of Seattle, it just created so many entrepreneurs and skilled people working in small companies that even when bankruptcies happen, they weren't fatal to the economy. The super-charged economy probably helped get us to a new level. If you compare where Seattle is today with '97, there's no comparison. None.
X: It sounds like the dot-com boom did a lot of good, and the bust held some important lessons for today?
TA: We did learn something from the bust. Venture capitalists around here, when the economy recovered, people were a little more cautious. You have to weigh caution with taking risks. Risk is important for venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and the economy. But people really developed some better attitudes about investing. There were a lot of investments made in 2000 based on just a business plan. Plus, people were investing too much money on growth and not enough on break-even. At board meetings, people would say, "If we don't invest more money, the competition will get way ahead of us." HomeGrocer is a classic example. I always say, if you don't invest in a HomeGrocer, you'll never invest in an Amazon. It wasn't a mistake in my mind, but it got carried away. If we'd taken a slower path, it might have worked.
In the recent run-up, I think the investing was much more measured. When the downturn started here last year, Warren Buffett was saying, "We're in a recession." I quoted Warren Buffett at our annual meeting in April '08. So we had to start watching this. But it wasn't until late summer or early fall that we started meeting with entrepreneurs and saying, "Let's talk about cutting expenses, doing some layoffs." Every company's different, but we need to focus on getting through this, rather than growth. So I think we're in better shape with existing companies this time than last. People did learn some lessons about burn rates [for example]. It's a huge difference if your monthly losses are $600,000, versus $100,000, which can be funded for a long time. There has been a lot more attention to that.
[Stay tuned for Part 2 tomorrow, in which Alberg discusses his investment philosophy and a few specific areas that Madrona is actively pursuing—Eds.]

Above is a cool contrasts.. my New Maxx 9 cover. on the left, and the classic Maxx 9 cover on the right. In some ways, how i paint Maxx is totally different than how I used too, and in other ways, some of same weirdness. . . . carried on with a changing bag of tools, tricks, ideas.
Here's the same cover, hours earlier. Paints still wait on top, as I've darkened a new upper layer.
This is like the third variation on this cover's background. So much gets lost in the printing too.
Started so bright and psychedelic. Now look at it..
Another shot, but this one catches more of the texture.
Some things i would have never done back then, like the orange under-shadows.. also Way$hak pointed out for some odd reason i'm making Maxx's claws curlier now.. never noticed that.
I threw it up here again, since my black Maxx logo covers the top background, so now you can *what* the black logo actually covers up. Notice once it's dries, much of the texture is lost in a scan. But that's what's cool about seeing art from different lighting angles.

A Parent-Partner Experiment?
Merle Weiner's A Parent-Partner Status for American Family Law is a marvelous achievement, well worth reading for anyone interested in family law and policy, and contemporary debates about marriage, parenthood, and child-raising. Prof. Weiner has read seemingly everything written in recent decades on marriage and parenting, across law, psychology, sociology, and policy science, and this learning is worked seamlessly into the present book. A Parent-Partner Status is also superb in the way that it consistently presents fairly the likely arguments against her proposals, objections Weiner then answers carefully.
The basic background for Weiner's argument is well-summarized in the book's early chapters: that both legal and social changes in recent decades have changed the way we understand family obligations. The earlier approach made marriage central to determining the obligations (or lack thereof) of adults to their children, and co-parents to one another. In the last 40 years, the Supreme Court held illegitimacy to be a suspect class under constitutional analysis, the Uniform Parentage Act made parental obligations largely independent of the parents' marital status, and non-marital births have become both common and widely socially accepted.
A Parent-Partner Status is best understood as advocating two distinct but related objectives: the creation of a strong social norm of appropriate co-parenting and the creation of a legal status of "parent-partner." The two are related, of course, not least in the ways that laws, even when un- or under-enforced, may still have value in expressing and reinforcing society's approval or disapproval of different practices.
Weiner's "parent-partner" status seems well-placed as a potential general social norm, in the sense that it is grounded on some fairly widely established views, while also going beyond those existing shared views. Starting at foundational matters: nearly everyone would agree that one should treat (all) others with respect and consideration. And there would likely be equally strong agreement that additional duties would apply to the co-parent of one's child. Additionally, the idea that one is financially tied to one's co-parent until the child is of age is the basic idea underlying the currently well-settled law of child support obligations. The difference between Weiner's parent-partner status and current child support law is that the proposed co-parent obligation is (also) to the co-parent; and the differences from existing conventional social and moral thought come in the effort to articulate precisely what those duties to the co-parent are or should be, and in determining whether the government should be involved in advocating for or enforcing those duties.
Under Weiner's analysis, parent-partners are to exhibit fondness, flexibility, acceptance, togetherness, and empathy to one another. They are subject to a (limited) duty to aid the other parent, a duty not to abuse the other parent physically or psychologically, an obligation of "relationship work" when first becoming parents and at the ending of the parents' romantic relationship, a heightened requirement of substantive and procedural fairness in any agreement between the co-parents that purports to waive or alter their financial obligations to one another, and a duty of compensation for unfairly disproportionate caregiving (where the fairness of the caregiving arrangement would take into account multiple factors, including financial payments by the other parent).
Weiner recognizes that legislatures might make different choices about which duties to include in a parent-partner status, and that duties might be added or subtracted later based on experience with the status. Additionally, with the exception of the caregiver payments, Weiner generally recommends caution in the remedies courts impose. For example, the duty to do relationship work could be enforced only by an order to attend an informational session rather than by an order to go to relationship therapy; and the duty not to abuse would involve only a modest extension of existing domestic violence statutes (to cover parent-partners from conception. and to cover parent-partners even when they are not in an existing romantic relationship).
It is the duty of payment for unfairly disproportionate caregiving, where breaches would make the parent liable to court orders to pay compensation to the caregiver, that Weiner properly predicts to be the most controversial, and also the most difficult to implement. There are problems both in determining when a co-parent has breached the duty, and in determining the appropriate compensation. Weiner rejects the idea of trying to establish guidelines in advance, noting the wide range of fact situations (e.g., across divorced, cohabiting, or never-having-cohabited couples). Weiner recognizes that the alternative of wide judicial discretion may evoke bad memories of the unpredictability, uncertainty, and wide range of outcomes that occurred with child support orders before that area of law was overtaken by guidelines. However, the book argues that there may be no option but wide judicial discretion, with some borrowing from the (multiple and overlapping) theories now supporting spousal support (alimony), but with the hope that principles, standards, presumptions, or even guidelines might be developed over time by courts or legislatures.
As a prospective legal status, it is hard to predict how successful the parent-partner status would be, because of its relative novelty. One can speculate, of course, regarding how well it would work, and there are reasons to be cautious or concerned. There might be resistance to what could be seen as more intrusive government intervention in personal affairs (especially where the law goes beyond preventing abuse to requiring supportive behavior), and also reasonable concern that these sorts of rules (like many other family law rules) might come to have disproportionate effects on poor and minority communities (recall how the government came to pressure poor mothers to sue their partners for paternity orders and child support, or to have the ability to sue the fathers directly to reimburse the government for benefit payments; it is easy to imagine something similar happening with compensation rights for disproportionate caregiving).
Law in general, and family law in particular, are full of experiments that did not work out as expected – sometimes better than expected, sometimes less well than expected, and sometimes just different from expected. In this group, one could clearly include no-fault divorce, covenant marriage, and the French PACS (Pacte civil de solidarité). As with the early recognition in a handful of states of same-sex civil unions and domestic partnerships, and eventually same-sex marriages, and the recognition in Washington State of the status of "Committed Intimate Relationships," there are clear benefits to having new family law norms, rules and practices tried in individual states, as (to use Justice Brandeis' famous phrasing) "a laboratory [for] novel social and economic experiments". Weiner's "parent-partner" status is clearly promising enough to be worth a state experiment, or two or three or four, and then we can get a better sense of whether it can be structured in a way that allows its benefits to outweigh any costs.

The remaining players on the Spurs roster were revealed on ESPN.com's continuing countdown of the top NBA players with three among the league's top 30 players.
Manu Ginobili is the team's highest ranked player in the ESPN at No. 18. Tim Duncan was listed at No. 19 and Tony Parker was at No. 28.
Ginobili was highlighted for his Hall of Fame level career, despite a low position in the NBA draft.
One Twitter feed congratulated Duncan for his abilities as the league's most fundamentally sound big man — even at the age of 35.
And Parker's importance to winning three NBA titles — more titles than Steve Nash, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose and Deron Williams dobmined — is highlighted by another Twitter feed.
Their inclusion now means that no more Spurs will be ranked in the NBA poll.
Here's a list of the Spurs and their final rankings.
Manu Ginobili – 18
Tim Duncan — 19
Tony Parker — 28
DeJuan Blair — 120
Richard Jefferson — 130

Finger joints on one hand feel bruised but look ok
I have slight stiffness and pain in several joints on all 5 fingers of my right hand and absolutely no problems at all with my left hand. I only feel slight pain when I make a fist and the stiffness doesn't let me close the fist completely. Also if I rub or press the joints on the palm-side of my hand, it feels bruised, but nothing is visibly wrong. Finally, the worst joint is that last joint of my pinky... If I bend it slightly the wrong way (in the direction opposite to making a fist) I feel incredible pain. The condition is constant and doesn't ever get better or worse as far as I've noticed (that is, no change with weather, time of day, etc). This has been going on for little more than a month and I never had this type of pain before. I just turned 30.
I had been playing drums on "rockband" around the same time the pain started but I quit as soon as the pain began and have not played for about 3 weeks now but I have noticed no improvement at all. Not sure if this could be relevant.
I have set up a second appointment with a rheumatologist, because the first time he just said to rest it and see if got better. What could this be and what should I do please? Should I be worried about my other hand becoming affected too? Any help is very greatly appreciated.
Re: Finger joints on one hand feel bruised but look ok
I have similar problems. Has anybody responded to your post with any answers? I don't see any on my page, but I just joined and I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I actually attributed my hand pain to picking up a book wrong.....I don't know if my hand was shaped funny or what, but the outside of my palm popped and I've had trouble now for over 2 years! Two things I'm sure kept it aggrivated are playing piano and clarinet, but I'm still not positive of the problem.
I also have constant swelling that doesn't decrease with ice or meds. I had 2 doctors tell me to take Aleve for 10 days to reduce inflamation and nothing happened. My injury symptoms have spread from the side of my palm to the base of my fingers, my wrist, and for a while my thumb. Let me know if you hear what's going on because it sounds like we have similar injuries.
Re: Finger joints on one hand feel bruised but look ok
hi, i have evrything u just described and have osteoarthritis. the symptons start slow and gradually get worse, at least it has for me! i was diagnosed last yr and now cannot even brush my own hair because i cant hold the brush!! i know its confusing because u cant see anything wrong with my hands, no swelling or redness just pain, esp as u said in the small fingers (i have both hands) it makes me wonder all the time if i have it or not, but i guess i have to trust the drs lol i'd say get it looked at, if its not then at least u'll know :) hope u feel better soon
Re: Finger joints on one hand feel bruised but look ok
I was wondering if you ever found anything out. I am having similar problem but mine is in my fingers. I am waiting on bloodwork to come back and then will hopefully have some answers or at least what direction to head in. NO playing drums, was shooting about a week before it showed up.
Thank you for your time.
Re: Finger joints on one hand feel bruised but look ok
Thanks Kate and others for sharing. I had just about forgotten about this post, but luckily stumbled upon it again after all this time. It's been a bit over a year now, and here is the update..
My left hand is still pain free and my right still hurts. Specifically, not the hand but the fingers of the right hand (all but the thumb, which is good as new so far). The pain has calmed down a bit, but the lack of motion remains and I cannot close a tight fist anymore. The affected joints are the joints of the fingers closest to the knuckles and they do look a tiny bit swollen and noticeably red in color as seen from the top/nails side of the hand. Everything looks normal from the palm side and absolutely no other joints of the hand are affected.
Apparently, I cannot blame the rockband drumming completely, since I have also developed a similar pain in the joints of the ball of my left foot (about an inch away from the base of the toes). Walking hurts but is ok, and I've been getting rid of harder shoes and buying softer, more cushioned footwear lately.
I've been on 15mg/day of meloxicam for months now and if forget to take it for a day or two, the slightly increased redness and pain remind me to take my pills again, so I guess it helps. Nothing incredible though, but surely better than nothing.
At this point I have seen several doctors and have done blood work, x-rays, and lately an MRI of my hand and spine (I guess a doctor had some theory that needed to look at my spine). Everything has come out clean and left the doctors guessing at different theories.
Not sure what else to do right now, other than try not to worry about getting pain in even more joints.. but that's a bit kinda like concentrating on NOT thinking of pink elephants.
Anybody else have symptoms like this? Anybody have any ideas? Thanks again everyone.
Re: Finger joints on one hand feel bruised but look ok
Thank you for giving us an update. Just wanted to give you an update as to where I am. Got bloodwork back and it just showed a slight elevation for unspecified inflamation, not RH or lupus or MCTD. I go back in December and retest for the same thing to see if any changes. I am not having swelling but only slight pain in the right hand knuckles at this point. I am taking naproxin as needed. I also am having pain in the joints of both feet expecially if I have been sitting and go to get back up to walk or after I get up in the morning. Not sure if it is related or not but I will talk more to the Dr in December.
Re: Finger joints on one hand feel bruised but look ok
I am a 48 year old male and three years ago I began to notice a stiffness in the joints of both hands, specifically at the knuckle of my middle fingers. Over a period of several months the stiffness gradually grew to become acute pain whenever I would try to make a fist or flex my fingers. My left hand was considerably worse than my right although I knew that it wouldn't be long before they would feel both equally painful. I was most reminded of this worsening condition whenever I would drive because turning the steering wheel was always accompanied by a small burst of pain as my fingers flexed. In fact, if I laid my hand on a flat surface and kept my fingers flat while lifting my palm, I would feel excruciating pain. In my left hand it was unbearable and felt as if someone was jabbing a needle into my knuckle. My right hand also caused me pain but the difference was that I could flex a little further before feeling the same mount of pain.
After observing this progression for two years, earlier this year I considered going to a doctor (yes, I procrastinate when it comes to visiting doctors).
I didn't visit the doctor. If I had gone to the doctor I believe I would have experienced the same cycle of tests as others have described only to have the doctor prescribe pain medication, thus providing some relief while my condition would continue to worsen. I am averse to medication under these circumstances because I think it serves to mask the pain while allowing the condition to progress.
Before deciding a doctors visit was in order, I began thinking that this was not something that happened to me overnight so I thought I should take a good look at myself to see if there was something I could do or something I could stop doing that may cause the the progression of pain to stop or, hopefully, maybe even reverse it.
At about this time I began to think about the idea of getting "back into shape." I don't smoke and I drink only occasionally so there was nothing for me to address from that standpoint. However, I was about fifty pounds over weight and my diet, while not the worst, could be a lot better. Also, I was not as active as I should be and this was another area I thought I could address.
I began to think of 20 years ago when I was more health conscious. Back then I would exercise regularly and I paid more attention to what I ate. I remember at one time I went through this raw juice phase where I would drink lots of raw vegetable juice that I made in my juicer. It was tedious and I eventually stopped, but because of how good it made me feel, I remember thinking to myself that I should consider "juicing" in the future if I ever needed to boost my health, so I decided to start another juicing phase. I did it for about two weeks at the beginning of this year and then I stopped again. It's a chore and hard to keep up with because of the constant visits to the market for vegetables and the clean up process, etc. But the effect from drinking raw vegetable juice was amazing. I experienced an almost immediate response (actually after several days) to the pain and lack of flexibility in my knuckles. With the exception of the vegetable juice for those two weeks, I hadn't yet changed my diet or started an exercise program but now I began to think I was on the right track. I decided to address the issue of exercising next. I knew I could not start exercising with weights because the pain in my hands would make that difficult and I was more focused on the kind of exercise that would promote my general health without putting too much strain on an already hurting body so I settled on the easiest of all exercises: walking!
I don't have time for a gym membership so I bought a treadmill and began a walking routine at home. I placed the treadmill in front of a TV and I walk and watch television when I would normally be sitting on the couch watching television so that I did not have to find time to do it. And when I say walk, I mean walk. My pace has never exceeded three miles an hour (which is no more than a brisk pace) and in the beginning I started with a 20 minute walk gradually building up to a 90 minute walk, which is what I do now on a daily basis. Did the exercise help me with my joint pain? It sure did! After several weeks, the pain in my right hand began to lessen and I noticed improved flexibility in my knuckles. After another several weeks, I noticed the same thing was happening to my left hand. The affect was similar to what I experienced when I drank vegetable juice earlier in the year, except that it was more gradual. I continued my walking routine for several months and then I began to address my diet. I began to eat more greens and salads and generally better home cooked meals instead of store bought meals.
Now, as the end of the year approaches, I continue with my walking exercise (I've lost thirty pounds and counting), my diet is a lot better than it was last year (more wholesome foods, less fast foods), the stiffness and pain in my right hand is completely gone (it feels like it did years ago - no pain at all), the stiffness and pain in my left hand is not yet completely gone but it is almost gone and it continues to improve. I hope to have complete relief and full flexibility in my left hand within the next four months or sooner (and I never had to resort to pain medication). Also, by then I will also have achieved the loss of the extra fifty pounds. I feel dramatically more healthy and energetic than I did last year and I hope the gradual changes I made to my diet and activity level will turn into a life style change that I can continue into my old age. I also plan to try juicing again because of its dramatic affect on my well being, but it's something I think I will probably do on and off, cycling every six months or so for the reasons I mentioned earlier.
I don't know if my personal experiences will help anyone experiencing joint pain but I hope what I described may give someone some ideas to try if the traditional medicine route does not work out for them.

text: (Photo Credit: Richard Grable) Fueled in part by a spate of luxurious newbuildings such as the Queen Mary 2, the cruise industry, according to government statistics, is growing by leaps and bounds. Reflecting a rise in the popularity of passengers departing from ports closer to their homes, cruise lines carried 2.3 million passengers on North American cruises in the first quarter of 2004, the Maritime Administration (MARAD) reported today. The figures reflect a 13.6 percent increase compared to the same period in 2003. The majority of cruises are still destined for the Caribbean and the Bahamas. However, there has been important growth in new and emerging "drive market" ports -- departure ports closer to home. For example, last year, during the first quarter, four ports -- New York, Jacksonville, Houston, and Norfolk – offered no departures. Now, these cities are currently among the top 15 departure ports in the nation. Other ports posting impressive gains are Charleston with 54 percent, New Orleans with 46 percent, Galveston with 31 percent, and San Diego with a nearly 200 percent increase. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta, commenting on the figures, said, "Cruise lines have continued investing in new cruise ships and with the economic recovery, Americans are taking advantage of expanded cruise offerings that depart closer to home." While Miami remained the number one departure port in the first quarter of 2004, its passenger traffic declined 15 percent from last year, and its market share fell from 30 to 22 percent, in part, because more departure traffic is going through other ports. Los Angeles overtook Tampa for the Number 5 ranking. According to the International Council of Cruise Lines' most recent economic impact study, the North American Cruise Industry contributed a total economic benefit to the U.S. economy of $20.4 billion in 2002. Direct spending of the cruise lines and passengers on U.S. goods and services was $12 billion and those expenditures generated nearly 280,000 jobs in the U.S. economy. Maritime Administrator Captain William G. Schubert noted the good news the nation's economy, saying, "The growth in the number of departure ports provides cruise passengers with more choices and ensures that this industry's economic benefits are felt more widely throughout the country."

Editorial: Fieldhouse funding boosts community
While it's likely that many in and around Worthington were happy last week to learn about the Minnesota Legislature's passage of the new Minnesota Vikings stadium bill, that wasn't the only sports-related good news.
After several years of trying, Minnesota West Community and Technical College's Worthington campus finally got long-sought funding for a planned renovated and expanded fieldhouse. The campus will get $4.6 million as part of a state bonding bill of nearly $500 million approved by lawmakers last week and signed Friday by Gov. Mark Dayton.
Whatever the reasons for past delays in funding -- District 22 Sen. Doug Magnus said Friday that the project hadn't been a high enough Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) priority, and Minnesota West President Richard Shrubb recalled its last-minute rejection on other occasions -- it's time to celebrate now. The money will make possible improved athletics facilities in the 43-year-old building as well as remodeled and additional classroom space, among other amenities.
One doesn't have to utilize Worthington's Minnesota West campus or have kids attending the community college to appreciate a $4.6 million project. Thanks to the state's funding of the fieldhouse, the on-campus experience for students, staff and campus visitors alike will be markedly better, and should help promote positive word-of-mouth and subsequent growth. And a better college, of course, makes for a better and more attractive community.

Serve your preschoolers supersized food portions and you'll likely wind up with supersized kids.
A new study shows that, unlike some calorie-conscious adults, children don't eat less at dinner if they eat a big lunch and are more likely to eat whatever portion size is put on their plate.
Researchers say those findings suggest that parents and caregivers may bear a greater responsibility for controlling children's weight and preventing childhood obesity that some realize.
"We found that the more food children are served, the more they eat, regardless of what they've eaten previously in the day, including how big their breakfast was," says researcher David Levitsky, professor of nutritional sciences at Cornell University, in a news release. "We also found that the more snacks children are offered, the greater their total daily food and calorie intake."
Read WebMD's "Portion Sizes Eventually Add Up"
Portion Size Matters to Kids' Weight
In the study, which appears in the June issue of Appetite, researchers monitored how much 16 preschool children, aged 4-6, ate for about a week in day care centers and had their parents keep food diaries of what they ate at home in the evenings and on weekends.
The results showed that how much food was served to the children had the biggest impact on how much they ate in a meal or snack, regardless of the calorie or fat content of that meal or other meals eaten within the previous 24 hours.
The study also showed that children who were offered snacks between meals did not eat less at subsequent meals.
Researchers say these findings conflict with earlier studies that suggested that children may be better than adults at regulating their food intake. But they say those studies were done under laboratory conditions and may not represent how children eat under real-life conditions.
"We found that portion size is, by far, the most important factor in predicting how much a child will eat," says Levitsky. "These findings suggest that both the onus of controlling children's weight -- both in causing overweight in children as well as in its prevention -- must rest squarely in the hands of parents and other caregivers."

Neha: Acting Doesn't Help, BO Does
Neha Sharma, 23, may have done fashion designing and is an actor today, but in many ways she still remains a small town girl from Bhagalpur. While she took a break from Telugu films after her first film Chirutha with Ram Charan, she would love to do a Telugu film today, as she enjoys the dancing, travelling and money that comes with it. Ahead of her upcoming film Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 with the Deols, she talks to TOI about her first co-star Ram Charan, the tech-savvy Sunny Deol and why box office performance is more important than looks and talent. Excerpts:
How did you get into films?
I was born and brought up in Bhagalpur. My dad is a businessman who owns petrol pumps there. I moved to Delhi in Class XI and studied at Carmel Covent School, after which I did my fashion designing from NIFT where I was a rank holder. Right from my childhood, I wanted to be a fashion designer and was obsessed with Armani and Versace and simply loved clothes. I was fit and tall and was used as a model by my seniors to showcase their clothes to the jury for judging them. I did my internship at Canada and was offered a job at Coach, but thankfully I didn't do it. I used to go to this gym in GK II where my gym instructor Maria would always tell me to get my photoshoot done. I got that done and was called to Hyderabad based on my pictures to meet Ram Charan, Chiranjeevi's son, for his launch film Chirutha. My director told me that a part of the film would be shot in New Zealand and Vikram Phadnis would design the clothes. It sounded like a paid holiday and even though I was just in my fourth year, I said yes to it.
There were rumours of you dating Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan. Were you dating him?
He was like starry and was not talkative at all in the beginning. My director told me he was shy and I guess it is protocol in Telugu cinema where you can't be over-friendly if you are the son of a superstar like Chiranjeevi. So, they try and keep that cold and reserved facade. The lives of star-kids are quite guarded and they are super careful of how they conduct themselves, as there is a lot riding on them. Mr Chiranjeevi was on the set for quite sometime. As I got to know Charan, I realised he was quite chilled out and nice and was a great dancer. He was the first guy I was working with and we were like two kids working together. He may have flirted a bit, but basically we became friends by the end of the film. While we are still in touch, when you are working in different industries, it's too much to expect your friendship to stay alive.
Being from a business family from Bhagalpur, were your parents comfortable with the idea of you being an actor?
As a kid, I was severely asthmatic and was always unwell and weak physically. So, I became the favourite, pampered child amongst four siblings. My connection with Hyderabad began way before I did my film there. There is a family in Hyderabad who are blessed and can cure you of your asthma. You have to go to them for three years where they put a live fish in your mouth and you need to swallow it. I got completely cured and I am a believer. The asthma had gone, but the pampering remained. So they let me do whatever I wanted, be it fashion designing or films.

Ram Lila maidan gears up for anti-corruption baba
Sahim Salim reports on the hectic activity on in New Delhi's Ram Lila maidan ahead of yoga guru Baba Ramdev's fast-unto-death stir against corruption
The streetlights on Asaf Ali Road leading to the Ram Lila maidan (ground) in New Delhi are decorated with posters of Baba Ramdev inviting people for a "Jan Andolan". On ground zero, massive preparations are underway to welcome the "anti-corruption baba", as he is referred to by his followers.
Come June 4, this maidan -- which can accommodate 25,000 people -- will be filled to the brim by Baba Ramdev's followers.
Encouraged by the "successful mass-response" to social activist Anna Hazare's fast unto death call, Baba Ramdev will lead proceedings with his own version of fast-unto-death Satyagraha.
On June 4, the 'Satyagraha' will start with morning prayers at 5 am. The Upwas Karyakram (fasting programme) will also kick off simultaneously along with the yoga camp.

Ram Lila maidan gears up for anti-corruption baba
They sit patiently inside the stuffy 'volunteer-centre-tent' at the extreme end of the maidan, listening to coordinators on microphone explaining their roles.
In the sweltering Delhi heat on a Tuesday afternoon, about 250 labourers are working on setting up a massive 2,50,000 square feet overhead waterproof tent. After all, the television-savvy baba likes to do things in style.
Consider this -- there will be 100s of taps across the maidan that will provide fresh drinking water to participants. In addition to the mammoth overhead tent, a special facility centre will be set up for the media with three communication towers.

Virendra Vikram is one of baba's disciples who will sit on fast with him. He arrived at the maidan five days ago to oversee preparations and coordinate volunteers arriving from across the country.
"I will also sit on fast, as what the baba is doing is commendable. He is sitting for a just cause. He has a lot of support from the people and he is using it in the right direction," Vikram says, fanning himself in the stifling volunteer centre tent.
Vikram says that there are 1000s of volunteers who are conducting street-gatherings across the country to raise awareness about the baba's "Satyagraha".

Says one volunteer, Santram Pradhan, chairman of the Delhi Jal Board, "I came here to help in preparations after witnessing a street gathering in Noida last week. I will also sit on fast. The corruption levels in this country, even in the national capital, are increasing by the day. In Delhi Jal Board itself, where I work, the corruption levels are rampant."
The government, which was caught on the back-foot after the surprising turn-out to Anna Hazare's call, had unsuccessfully tried to dissuade Ramdev from undertaking his fast.
Ramdev had declared his indefinite fast, demanding the government to bring back black money in Swiss Banks.
He has four demands -- (a) the establishment of a foreign account policy, so that the amount of 400 lakh crore deposited in Swiss banks is retained and distributed across five lakh villages of India. (b) to re-send the United Nations Convention against corruption agreement, which has been pending since 2006 (c) to bring down high denomination value currencies to reduce the circulation of black money and (d) to enact all the three demands to the Lok Pal bill.

The government's efforts in dissuading Ramdev from undertaking the fast have proven unsuccessful. Even as a committee, headed by the Central Board of Direct Taxes, has been constituted to strengthen laws to curb the generation of black money, he has not called his fast off.
"There is no question of calling off the fast, as no concrete steps have been taken by the government. Talks are going on between baba and the government, but the Satyagraha has not been called off. Thousands of people will join him," says Ramdev's spokesperson, SK Tijarawala.
Dr Jaideep Arya, a spokesperson for Baba Ramdev's institution, says that the baba is glad that the government is keen on bringing back the stashed money, but no concrete steps have been taken in this direction.
Ram Lila maidan gears up for anti-corruption baba
"The fast is definitely on. We expect one crore people from across the country to participate in the protest. Thousands of the Baba's followers abroad will also take part in the fast," says Dr Arya.
When rediff.com asked Dr Arya about the government's move to institute a committee, he says, "Our priority is that all demands are met. If that is not possible, atleast most of the demands have to be met. A parliamentary sitting has to be called at least to discuss such a complex issue."
"We have not just made blind demands of bringing back the black money; we have actually given suggestions to the government to bring back the Rs. 400 lakh crore. The private accounts in foreign banks in which this amount is stashed should be nationalised and a floating warrant has to be issued against the accused."
Talking about other demands, Dr Arya adds, "In addition to our other demands, we also demand that people indulging in stashing away black money be declared as traitors and they be given the death sentence."

Hi. I'm just about to buy another copy of this for another project – it has been a dream to use so far
For this new project the client would like the sidebar on the left to scroll down as the browser scrolls down, so that the sidebar is always visible, regardless of where the user scrolls to vertically.
Is this behaviour already part of the build? For long pages there is a sidebar-sized gap on the lefthand side, so I'm hoping that it's easy to get the sidebar to slide down into this space when the user scrolls down (and back up again).
Any thoughts? Dave
Hi Dave. Basically it can be done, but by default left sidebar is static, because it has some additional widgets. You can try to do the following: add position: fixed; overflow: auto; max-height: 100%; to #sidebar {} and add margin-left: 253px; to #content {}. But i think would be better to add a custom scrollbar plugin for the sidebar, something like slimScroll.
Ok so I was looking at this template, and I LOVE it, it looks awesome. but I did notice in the demo that in firefox I get a bunch of weird boxes where the icons should go. Is there a version that works on firefox?
Hi. Thanks for your interest. That's weird, i just checked in FF 24.0 and everything looks fine. Which version are you using?
hmmm I'm using FF24 as well… [SOLVED] It is a setting in firefox "Allow sites to chose their own font"
I need the "Selectable" list. Like: [ http://jqueryui.com/selectable/ ] Is it available here? Though, I have purchased this template.
If I use the code from that api, the jQuery version is conflicting i think because many of the UI is broken if i change the jQuery and jQuery-Ui version.
Fixed it
I just realized you have released version 1.2. The Changelog states that it's just a Bootstrap update to 2.3.2. Since I've made some personalizations I don't want to replace all directory.
Which file(s) do I have to replace? Only bootstrap.min ?
Thanks in advance!
You need to replace bootstrap.min.js, only this file was updated.
I just downloaded the package again and I realized that, at leat the no_breadcrumbs file differs from the live demo version.
Is the themeforest package file updated?
Ohh, i'm sorry, my bad, forgot to update the page. I'll push an update tomorrow with the correct page.
Hello friend, I need to buy your template for file management section, but in the page demo displays an error. I will leave that mistake if I buy a template?
hello. No, both file managers are working fine, but in live preview it's just turned off. The package contains a working and styled version.
My apologies for commenting here for the Amsterdam Theme. Needed a reply at the earliest and that's why mentioning here.
The pop-up option that you have provided (modal), when we click on the outside (dark) section it closes. Could you please tell us exactly which code is prompting that trigger. We need to add an Ajax code their to fetch data.
Thanks in advance.
Hello, do you have an e-mailadres where I can reach you?
I have a question for which I would like to explain my problem via a screenshot, since it will be easier.
Kind regards, Wesley
sure, you can contact me through my profile page here. Or direct email = e.kopyov[at]gmail[dot]com Thanks
I have used "Styled select with search", I want to reset it (clear selected) with some function. Can you please let me know from where I can get this function. I know there is a function to reset it because that function is being used on clicking the cross icon of "Clear Result" select box.
allowClear: trueis responsible for that. You need to add it to plugin options in functions.js
[SOLVED] Thanks! Its working now.
Para que la ventana pop-up no se cierre al dar click afuera de ella, deben abrirla con lo siguiente:
$("#ventana").modal({ backdrop: "static" });
Saludos a todos.
are you planning an Update within the next months? Because i need a timeline, otherwise i try to write it on my own.
Yes, i'm planning to add BS3 support as soon as i have a free time.
Thanks, haven't had an ability to check it on Samsung smartphones yet. But definitely will do!
I'm waiting for it urgently , please send me when tou finish , I have ticket #GDW-432-53126 , thanks
What browser are you using?
Hi sir, can you upgrade this to Bootstrap 3.0 soon? I've been waiting a while! I hope to get the update when you do it, it shouldn't take that long I would assume it takes 30 mins.
Unfortunately it takes much more time Trying to find enough time for it, should be available soon.
Sorry for delay.
Please do this soon! You will be rewarded! While you're at it could you also upgrade the jQuery to the latest version? I would GREATLY appreciate an update of this kind soon.
I am willing to even buy again with these updates complete even though I don't need to.
Are you planning on adding in remote loading of content for modals? I've purchased this theme but didn't realize that this was not a feature.
Cool theme, I'm going to wait a few before buying it because I need Bootstrap 3. I saw other comments back from 2 months + ago asking for this change. When is this expected? Please give me a solid time frame as I need a BS 3 theme. Thank you!
Hi, Our company has bought this Template, but i am facing problem when i try to add select input or any input like file upload with styled class.
When i add these controls dynamically and apply the Class "styled" but it does not apply . I am using addClass() method but nothing applied ..
So could you just help me how to resolve this Problem ??
Is this theme compatible with wordpress or Joomla?
No, it isn't compatible as it is, it requires additional development since this template is html/css/js only and doesn't have any dynamic code.
I can't get the File Manager to work? Is there something special that needs to be done besides the paths in connector.php? Error I'm getting is: "Readable volumes not available."
Fixed that error with the absolute path but now i'm getting error saying "Invalid backend response.Data is not JSON."
Check your "path" and "url" paths in connector.php file, should work if paths are correct. Otherwise please send me a link to your page or email me your connector.php file, i'll check what's wrong there.
Got it working, thanks!
Hi Kopyov and congratulations for this great theme ! Just a question, when we reduce the sidebar, the main page is perfectly resized at 100%. But when we expand it, the main page is not resized and goes out the right side of the browser window. Have you got a solution to re-adapt the width at its initial size ? Thanks a lot for your answer !
Can i see the page online so i can check what's wrong? This happens on demo page as well?
In fact, it's normal, I read a little better your documentation . That occurs when the width is smaller than 1025px (the sidebar is hidden). How can I change this value to show the sidebar on screens which have a width resolution at 1024px (ipad for example) ?
Aha, i seeYou need to edit media queries in css file. Please find
@media (max-width: 1024px) {...}and change 1024px to any value, should work this way.
Ok, thanks a lot !
