New Brazil-U.S. Legal and Judicial Studies Program Launched at American University Washington College of Law
First- of-Its-Kind U.S. Program Led by Senior U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte
Celebration of New Brazil-U.S. Legal
and Judicial Studies Program
October 25, 2012
Washington, D.C., Oct. 24, 2012 - American University Washington College of Law proudly announces the establishment of the Brazil-U.S. Legal and Judicial Studies Program, a comparative law program focused exclusively on Brazil and the United States and their respective legal and judicial institutions.
"The Brazil-U.S. Legal and Judicial Studies Program is the first program to offer a direct comparison of Brazil legal and judicial institutions with those of the United States," said Claudio Grossman, dean, American University Washington College of Law. "We're proud to host a program that helps its participants gain a firmer understanding of both legal systems."
The Program will coordinate seminars on various comparative law issues for Brazilian judges, legal professionals, academics, and students, and will also assist those in the U.S. who wish to have comparable introductions to Brazilian law. The program will tap into the collaboration of Brazilian lawyers who reside and work in the Washington, D.C. region, and Brazilian professors and judges who frequently visit the city.
The Program also coordinates the law school's existing activities in Brazil; most recently an international commercial arbitration program in São Paulo, a seminar on administrative law in Porto Alegre, and the Seventh Annual Symposium on International Trade, sponsored together with the Brazilian Association of International Trade in Washington, D.C. In 2013, American University Washington College of Law will coordinate with the U.S. Embassy and the Fulbright Commission in Brazil to hold an event highlighting U.S. law schools for Brazilian audiences, and will also host Brazil's Labor Court judges during their bi-annual convention, in Washington, D.C. Other anticipated projects include a week-long seminar comparing Brazil and U.S. legal and judicial institutions, for students, lawyers, and professionals.
The new Program is headed by Senior U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte, a longtime friend and colleague of the Brazilian Judiciary and Bar. Messitte is a former Member of the International Judicial Relations Committee of the U.S. Judicial Conference, where he chaired the Working Group on Latin America and the Caribbean. He is a member of the Advisory Council of the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative for Latin America and the Caribbean. Messitte speaks fluent Portuguese and has written and spoken widely about Brazil-U.S. legal and judicial topics for many years.
Renata Brazil David, associate director of the Program and a Brazilian national, recently retired as director of legal affairs for the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (ITSO). Dr. Brazil David holds an LL.M. in International Trade Law from the University of Essex in England and an S.J.D. (Ph.D. in Law) from American University Washington College of Law.
For further information, please contact Renata Brazil David, associate director, Brazil-U.S. Legal and Judicial Studies Program.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team took part in the seventh annual alumni game, on Saturday, October 24. 17 alumni took to the field to oppose the 2009-10 Lions, as both sides bid farewell to University Field. The event marked the last alumni evening at University Field, as a new softball complex is set to open for the 2010-2011 season.
Despite the 8-7 victory by the current team, the night belonged to the alumni. And despite the narrow defeat, the alum presented a stiff challenge for the current team throughout all seven innings. At the completion of play, all in attendance enjoyed some familiar tasty treats courtesy of Steve and Karen Brunt. Post-game festivities also presented a time to reminisce on past times and reflect on good memories. Reconnecting the past with the present was one the teams' goals for this event and to say this objective was met would be an understatement.
Looking at this great group of ladies in attendance, talented, athletic, dedicated, and leaders are a few words that come to mind to describe these alumni. Head Coach Christi Wade added, "Thank you to each and every one of you for not only making this night a success, but for all the time, dedication, hard work and investment you did and still put in to the Saint Leo University Lions' softball program." She continued by stating, "We would like to thank all the current and former athletes' parents and friends who were attendance to help make this night something special."
The alumni in attendance were Kelly Bowe '97, Lisa Leon '98, Karen Nalette Cross '99, Alena Gerrel Crawford '04, Ashley Black '05, Katie Heintz '06, Erin brunt '07, Ali Flynn '07, Hayley Mallory Judah '07, Christina VanTassel Tisa '07, Heather Stroud Fabin '08, Shelley Bartlett '08, April Slate '08, Stephanie Discepolo '09, Ashley Urbanik '09, Ally Maddox '09 and Tatiana Casis '09.

Technology has been a great equalizer for small law firms and
other professional services businesses. There are an
ever-increasing array of tools to help you with your practice
management, marketing and casework. In fact, figuring out how to
incorporate technology effectively into your practice is really an
imperative in 2013. The American Bar Association is even adopting new
model rules that are "coming soon to a state near you."
Integrating new technology into your practice needs to be
balanced against the need to do client work and marketing.
With technology, it is easy to go overboard reinventing yourself.
So I always appreciate it when I get a good technology
recommendation from someone I trust. Rather than trying everything
out and getting nothing else done, I rely on my network to point me
in the right direction when it comes to technology.
One of my latest additions to my technology bag of tricks is
called Formstack. Formstack is a very inexpensive
web-based service that enables you to create an endless variety of
form documents. These are forms you can use to collect data from
your clients, your employees, or just about anyone on just about
any topic. You can use it as a client intake tool. Using Formstack,
you can create a client satisfaction survey. You can set up a form
to screen potential cases.
Formstack is simple to use, easy to learn and very flexible. It
also integrates well with Constant Contact, PayPal and a number of
other online tools which you may already be using.
I recently used Formstack to create a marketing audit that I use to do an initial
marketing assessment. I also used Formstack to create a sign-up
form for an interdisciplinary group coaching program.
One of the nice things about Formstack is that you can create
the form and then "embed" the page on your website, so that it has
the same look and feel of your website and it uses your website's
domain name.
There are many marketing applications for Formstack. With little
effort, you can create your own audit tool to get your foot in the
door and begin a conversation with a prospective client.
Of course like any technology, there will be a learning curve.
Do not expect to be able to use the tool without investing some
time and effort. But Formstack is one of the easier tools to learn
and a tool that I hope to use for at least six months or until the
next great form creation tool is invented (whichever comes

I believe you need to install the Hudson Rake plugin . I experienced a similar error on Windows after installing v1.4 of RubyMetrics; and installing v1.6.2 of the Rake plugin resolved the issue. Hope this helps.

These are great. Thanks for the hard work. And of course I have a feature request. It would be great if the flog plugin was configurable so that you could display/graph just the method complexities. Its hard to weed though the numbers since a single class with 100 methods could have the same score as a single class with one really complicated method.

Ruby metrics doesn't appear to be displaying rcov, rails stats or annotations charted on 'unstable' builds. For example if our defined coverage requirements aren't met, none of the charts are updated. It also doesn't appear to update the actual coverage report (coverage/index.html). Is this a known issue? I didn't see anything open in JIRA.

I managed to get it working... on linux. Apparently it doesn't work on windows.
Even though, It (stats and tasks) doesn't work if the code is being downloaded from a svn server. I just have to disable the svn project configuration and use the previous downloaded source in the workspace for the plugin to work.. Is this a bug?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/2/2013 (1656 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama says he would have no hesitation ordering women into combat and explained that, as a practical matter, they're already serving that role.
Obama, who spoke with CBS television shortly before Sunday's Super Bowl game, was asked about the recent order ending the Pentagon's ban on women serving in combat.
Obama said women soldiers are already vulnerable to attack and they've been wounded and killed carrying out their jobs. He said they are taking great risks and should not be prevented from advancing in their careers.
The change overturns a 1994 rule prohibiting women from being assigned to smaller ground combat units, and is expected to open up more than 230,000 combat positions that have been off limits to women.

"The invitations and all the accompanying pieces were beautiful! We received many compliments saying the invitation was very classy. We loved the autumn colors, the heavy textured paper and the beautiful simple design. Along with the invitations, we were pleased with the reply postcards and the enclosure card. The matching programs were on the same textured paper. We loved it all! I would highly recommend this design and product."
"I was able to personalise the card and the team were very helpful. The delivery was fast and reliable. Product is gorgeous! LOVE IT and would use again and recommend!"
"We love how our programs turned out. I customized the color to royal blue and was able to fit all the information in the columns with some help by adding personalization notes. Thank you!"
"Ordered these for my wedding in June. They turned our so lovely. Ordered them with black ink and with pearlescent paper. Going to add some sheer pink ribbon to dress these up even more! Very classy, clean and elegant. I received very quick and great service from WPD. Thanks for helping make my wedding day even more special!"
"I was very pleased with the level of customer service on creating these programs for our wedding. Unable to make headers myself, I asked WPD to make headlines and they did and it turned out beautifully. We also love the quality of the paper. We are so excited that this will be the first piece everyone sees on our wedding day."

Missing CardThese brain teasers rely on your ability to recognize groups of common attributes. For each of these puzzles you'll need to figure out why the words or letters are grouped as they are. Sometimes you will be asked to pick the odd-one-out or to place a new word into the correct group.
A standard deck contains thirteen cards (Ace, Two, Three, ... Ten, Jack, Queen, King) in each of four suits (Spades, Diamonds, Hearts, Clubs).
There is a certain characteristic that only four cards share. Three of the cards are given below; what is the fourth?
- Eight of Clubs
- Ten of Clubs
- King of Clubs
HintThe four cards in this group are not all the same suit.
The "of" in each card name is important, as is the "s" at the end of each suit name.
Answer- King of Hearts
These are the only four cards that can be written with no repeated letters.
"Spades" has a repeated letter, the "s".
"Diamonds" has an "o", but so does "of".
The word "of" also excludes every "Two", "Four", and "Five".
"Three", "Seven", "Nine", and "Queen" all have repeated letters.
"Six" repeats the "s" at the end of each suit.
"Ace" and "Jack" repeat the "a" in "Hearts" and the "c" in "Clubs".
"Eight" and "Ten" repeat the "e" in "Hearts".

ADVENTUROUS Winifred Turner has become the oldest woman in Britain to get a tattoo – at the age of 92.
The nonagenarian has had three tattoos daubed on her arms as a memorial to her late husband Jim and to mark her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Winifred has had hers and Jim's initials intertwined inside two hearts on her right forearm along with the words 'miss you, Win' and the date he died on her left.
She also has a bracelet adorned with the first initial of each great-grandchild and two of her grandchildren on her right wrist, which spell out the word 'GRANA'.
The pensioner, a keen churchgoer until ill-health stopped from her from attending, was inspired to get a tattoo after grandson, Alex Dixon, began accumulating body art.
She saw it as the perfect way to commemorate Jim, who died aged 89 three years ago.
Winifred, a retired cleaning manager from West Moors, said: "I hadn't thought about it before but Alex came in with his tattoos one day and I thought I would like to have one done.
"I was sat in the conservatory and drew two hearts on a piece of paper and Alex said 'you could have that as a tattoo.' "He showed the tattooist and then I went in to get it done. He told me I was 30 years older than the oldest person he had ever tattooed.
"I now have three tattoos and I think I could get carried away with it. There's no pain in my opinion."
Winifred, who walks with the aid of a stick, and Jim were married for 69 years before he died from a stroke in April 2010.
She has spent about £150 on tattoos so far and is already planning her next piece.
Alex, 30, a photographer, said: "I think it's amazing that my grandmother has tattoos and I'm proud of her."
Rob 'Spider' Ridland, 27, at Urban Image Tattoo Studio in Bournemouth, said: "When she came in I was a bit shocked. She isn't your average customer, but I was more than happy to do it if that's what she wanted."

I have to give credit where credit is due. Jonathan came up with the idea for these passion fruit cupcakes for Valentine's Day with white chocolate frosting. I mentioned that I was trying to think of something different for Valentine's Day this year and he said, "Passion fruit!" I wasn't sure about the idea at first – perhaps because I hadn't thought of it (yeah, I'm like that sometimes). But, the idea grew on me until I had to get into the kitchen and bake them.
The passion fruit cupcakes are unique and tropical and they express more than just a friendly, hand-holdy kind of love.
This Valentine's Day, take a trip to the tropics with these passion fruit cupcakes made with frozen passion fruit pulp and coconut milk, paired with a white chocolate buttercream. When you arrive, you'll be met with an incredibly moist, spongy cake packed with an intense passion fruit flavor. Before returning to reality, be sure to take time to savor each bite, noticing the comforting, mild sweetness of the white chocolate frosting. Bon Voyage!
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 7 ounces passion fruit pulp, room temperature (you can find frozen passion fruit pulp at international grocery stores)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 8 ounces white chocolate, melted but cool enough to touch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a small bowl, combine coconut milk, passion fruit pulp, and vanilla. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs to the sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Alternately add the flour mixture and the passion fruit mixture to the egg mixture, beating well after each addition.
- Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until cupcakes bounce back when lightly touched.
- Whip butter in a large mixing bowl on high speed until light and fluffy, about three minutes.
- Mix in melted chocolate and salt.
- Mix in powdered sugar a little bit at a time until fully incorporated.
- Pipe onto cooled cupcakes.

Did you know?
Franschhoek was originally named Olifantshoek (Elephant's Corner) by the early Dutch settlers.
The Franschhoek Market proffers a taste of small-town South Africa at its best. The market enjoys a spectacular setting, in the shade of oak trees next to the historic Dutch Reformed Church on the main road of this attractive town.
Franschhoek is known as a gourmet hub of South Africa thanks to its choice of upmarket country hotels, guest houses, restaurants, delis, chocolatiers and wine farms. Art galleries and specialty shops add to its charm.
The Franschhoek Market offers visitors a feast of quality, organic fresh produce; delicious deli items; indigenous artwork and craft items; the chance to have a child-friendly outing; and the opportunity to experience country living at its tastiest.
At this market you can buy anything from handmade breads, croissants, cakes, tarts, freshly brewed coffee and home-made ginger beer to smoked cheese, award-winning local olive oils, marinated olive treats and local wines.
Food markets in South Africa always feature specialties that allow visitors a true taste of the local cuisine, and similarly this market puts out quality edibles to sample.
Be sure to try the cinnamon and sugar pancakes, veggie-stuffed wraps, whole grape jam, traditional breads and baked goods such as milk tart. The plant and flower stalls can be your introduction to the indigenous flora, which includes proteas, prickly pears and wild herbs.
The Western Cape is known for its fresh fruit, and the produce here is irresistible, particularly the peaches, apples, pears and grapes.
Make a day of your visit to Franschhoek. Stop off at a local wine farm for a tasting and visit the Huguenot Memorial Museum that commemorates the contribution the French Huguenot settlers made to South African life – most notably founding the local wine industry

PHILADELPHIA – What a week for the third-ranked University of Pennsylvania women's squash team.
Facing three top-10 Ivy opponents, the Quakers were able to defeat No. 4 Princeton, No. 5 Yale and No. 10 Brown (10-4, 0-4 Ivy), all in the span of five days, after defeating the Bears, 9-0 on Sunday afternoon.
Penn (8-2, 4-1 Ivy) rolled to a 9-0 victory with a little different looking lineup than it used Saturday evening.
After the victory over Yale, Penn hosted its 125th Jubilee Saturday evening, an event that brought over 300 former men's and women's players, family and friends to celebrate the tradition and history of Penn squash.
Anaka Alankamony rested Sunday, after a thrilling, match-sealing, five game victory last night, putting Yan Xin Tan in the top spot where she won in three straight games.
Playing in the sixth position on the ladder, senior co-captain Chloe Blacker continued her great run individually this season, remaining undefeated at 7-0.
Ailsa Agnew and Leslie Gill picked up two victories in the eighth and ninth positions. Agnew won 3-0, and Gill won, 3-1.
Penn has two Ivy matches remaining, traveling to Cornell on Friday and finishing the regular season at home versus Columbia on Sunday.

SANFORD, Fla. - George Zimmerman has taken up a new hobby that may also help pay the bills.
Local 6 has confirmed with Zimmerman's brother that he has posted his first painting on eBay. The painting displayed on the site depicts a flag with the words 'One Nation' under the word 'God'.
Bidding started at $50 and has since climbed to nearly $100,000 with 98 bids.
There is also reason to believe Zimmerman is still in the area. The post on eBay says the painting will ship from Sanford.
Zimmerman was acquitted of murder in July in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. That case sparked a nationwide debate about race and self-defense. Zimmerman was accused of racially profiling Martin and said he shot the teen to protect himself.
Last month, Zimmerman claimed in a court affidavit that he is $2 million in debt and has no income.

The 55th Annual Grammy Awards
"I was told this was filled with Boston cream, not seeing any."
Here's the rest of The 55th Annual Grammy Awards that doesn't involve Katy Perry's awesome breasts, Kat Dennings' almost-as-awesome breasts, evidence in Rihanna's murder or Jennifer Lopez's dress making it look like she has huge, giant testicles. Except now I've completely undersold this gallery to the point that there better be a fucking dragon in here to explain why the hell we even posted it. Wait, never mind, there's lesbian goose-monster. We're good here.

>Running 101>Distance or speed?
As a new runner, you will gain the most from running almost all of your runs at an easy pace. Speed will come naturally as you add easy miles. Consistency in getting out on the road is your friend, and running too fast too soon is not.
Good luck
201x goals: run a bunch....race some.....repeat...
Both, at the same time.
Run more often, make one or two of those runs a bit quicker. No need to just run easy all the time. It's boring and won't get you as fit as quickly as incorporating a bit of speed here and there. Doesn't have to be structured; maybe one day you run up all the hills at a faster clip, or you sprint to 5-6 mailboxes, or you run the last mile home fast, etc., etc.
Have fun with it and don't worry about "training" for the sake of training at this point. Just go run for the sake of running!
100K or Bust
You're trying to create a dichotmy that shouldn't exist. The blend and balance between speed and distance may vary, but both should be included.
2017 Goals: for races not to be exercises in futility
Free Beer
Thanks for the input...my main concern is building distance at a 'learned' pace and then having issues improving that pace. Also, there are days where I appear to get into a groove and seem able to run as long as I want, then other days I struggle every step of the way. It doesn't seem to matter time of day or temperature or terrain. Is this uncommon?
Good days and bad days, we all have them.
Just go out on a trail and run easily, so you can talk. You'll find your pace will vary as you go up and down hills, avoid roots, whatever. You won't get locked into a pace.
Hey VenGotti! Welcome!
I'd probably say pace, but the most important is just making it a habit, getting out there a certain number of days every week. Good luck to you!
EDIT--- Oops, I meant distance, not pace! LOL I hate when I mean one thing and put the exact opposite. Slow easy mileage is what I'd recommend in the beginning.
"We do not become the people who this world needs simply by turning our backs on anyone we don't like, trust, or deem healthy enough to be in our presence. " ---- Shasta Nelson
+1 to the "Good days and bad days, we all have them" comment.
My thought on "speed, or Distance?" As a new runner, the answer is Both. --As an example, I am a runner of about 2 years. I focused on speed for my 5K times, but hit a wall and stayed there, which for me was about 23:00-23:30. Then I added distance starting bigtime in December 2012. I went from 20 mpw to 40+ mpw, and now my distance is obviously improving, but so is the speed! Recent 5K times, 22:29..., 21:58..., 21:29...
The simple answer for a relatively new runner: Add as much distance as you can tolerate without developing injuries, and it will help your speed as well. :-) Also, +1 to the "habit" comment above. Consistency is important too.
The Plan '15 → /// "Run Hard, Live Easy." ∞
registered pw
I would concentrate on a little distance and then concentrate on speed.
2017 goals:
sub 1:30 half
Consistency is the foundation of endurance sports. Concentrate on getting out the door.
The Logic of Long Distance
I agree with doing both if you can run at least 10 miles per week, Use checks and balances according to your goals, don't sprint (much)or push a hard pace for too long. Maybe a few minutes here and there at your best single mile pace. A harder effort on some up hills and strides as other people mentioned can be done. This way you are building range of motion, muscles, tendons, cardio etc. from the start. You may also need a good injury prevention program so that whenever hard training volume increases you are ready, so I would think about starting that now ....
I recommend building up your endurance first then build up the speed.

I can post up hundreds of examples of web design companies whose own sites show that they don't understand the basics of how to use CSS properly.Inline styles throughout, never using descendant selectors, and instead creating new classes all over the place, sometimes using four or five styles on the same element, unbelievable.
I saw one site today (I forget the company) which had TWELVE closing divs in a row. Unbelievable. And none of them had a comment to explain which div it was closing.
Of course, the clients haven't got a clue, so can't be blamed, but maybe we should start a 'code of shame' site, where we can post up these companies' code, with the reasons why it's so bad.
ps Your text formatting icons are useless - why is the COLOUR 'icon' the letter A? Why not use a rainbow of colours - go on, live a little...

ps Your text formatting icons are useless - why is the COLOUR 'icon' the letter A? Why not use a rainbow of colours - go on, live a little...
By the way, here's an example of a site with excellent, clean code (not a web design company though):
That's how all my sites look - laid out simply, no tabs all over the place.
That's how all my sites look - laid out simply, no tabs all over the place.
A "hall of shame" has been suggested before, but we agreed it was not in the spirit of the forums. If people come here asking for help or feedback then they are opening themselves up to constructive criticism, and that's fine. But it isn't our ethos to go round criticising other sites behind their backs. There are other places that do that, such as websitesthatsuck, but it isn't something we would want to see here. That kind of activity could seriously harm a client company, is the innocent bystanders who have bought a lemon without realising it, and that in turn would not do OUR reputation any good.
In answer to the question as to why it happens, the answer is that it's an industry with no regulation, no official certification and a very low barrier to entry. Anyone can set themselves up as a web designer, and many do. And while those of us who are here have a real interest in web design, for a lot of people it's just a job. And just like any other industry, there are people who just want to get the job done as quickly as possible, and for as little effort as possible. That means no spending time devising elegant and efficient solutions if there's a quick'n'dirty method that appears to be superficially the same. It means no spending time on training or professional development if you can persuade people you are up to the job. In any walk of life you will find far too many people who just don't care about the quality of their work, if they are even aware that there are things wrong with it, and web design is no exception.
Well, the interesting thing is that the sort of bad code I find is code that makes it a nightmare to create a webpage. And it's incredibly basic stuff, as I listed above - the simple use of descendant selectors saves me loads of time and space, and I learnt it right at the beginning of learning CSS? (I used 'CSS: the missing manual', a book I highly recommend).Is there a professional qualification in web design that one can take? I would love to see what it involves, because I wouldn't be at all surprised if it also included bad coding, seeing as so many apparently competent (but not behind the scenes) web design companies are incapable of even the most basic stuff.My code is always clean and really easy to edit, and I'm not even particularly brilliant at it.
In many cases, I expect that the perpetrators are either using some form of WYSIWYG editor or are just cribbing code and bodging it until it looks right ... because that involves less investment of time up-front than learning how to do it properly.

There is no official qualification that I am aware of. Many schools, colleges and universities around the world offer courses in web design – in whole or part – but these don't have to conform to any approved standard, it is up to the institutions themselves to determine the course material, content and style.

I don't think it is very fair to judge a site/app unless you have a clear understanding of the budget, technological limitations, politics, requirements and back-end processes involved. There is a considerable amount of sacrifices that need to made in one form or a another depending on those factors. Many of the leading content management systems output terrible mark-up. So is it fair to say everyone using Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, etc are terrible developers. Probably from the perspective of someone who has not been in the industry to long or has an unlimited amount of time/budget but not a real-world scenario with all the business implications involved. The short of it is that judging peoples decisions merely based on the mark-up on the page and nothing else is arrogant, short-sighted, ill-informed and a tad immature really. New developers should strive to learn best practices and apply them but not judge others without understanding the whole picture.
Part of the problem with having shame sites or indeed praise sites is—Who is going to make the judgements? A lot of criticisms could be made about that site you linked to—both regarding CSS and HTML. And a lot of the biggest names in the industry, the "standardistas", are starting to do some pretty dubious things in the rush to embrace HTML5 and other technologies ... so it's hard to know whom to trust.
The reason this phenomenon occurs is probably due to a combination of factors. A general one is that the skill of people in almost any business seems to on a continuous decline from builders and garages to accountants and doctors.Specific to the web is probably a combination of more and more traditional businesses going to the wall and the survivors trying to "revive" their company by getting a website and/or promoting it, but attempting it with a low budget. You generally get what you pay for, which translates in hiring clowns. An exacerbating factor is that there tens of thousands of chancers that decided they can make good a business out of offering webdesign or seo services, but essentially don't have a clue.
My guess is that because they force their digital designers to code
I didn't realise that the content management systems would output such poor code, but I think it's useful to point out problems in anybody's code where it exists, precisely so that new developers can see what to avoid.
And I wasn't judging anybody's decisions, just the quality of the code I see. I don't think it was "arrogant, short-sighted, ill-informed and a tad immature" at all. If somebody is selling themselves as a web design company, yet their code is bad, then it's bad!
Hear, hear, I think you're spot on.
Thanks very much for that site, Stevie, I particularly liked their fourth point - CONTRAST...
"I'm so very, very tired of beautiful websites where I can't read the text. Visitors who can't read the text will leave your site." Seems like I'm not alone then, in hating too light text.
Its not about webdesign companies knowing CSS. Its just that it takes so much time cutting so many images and doing it one by one so they prefer not to spend too much time on it and spend the extra saved time on some other projects.
Aren't they one of the same…
Unless you're saying that is not a choice… than what is it.
if you are judging work than you are judging those peoples decisions who executed the work.
It is very arrogant and immature unless you have a complete picture of the work involved I will probably get a reaming for this but there much more important things than mark-up. Yeah… it is important but should not dictate more important decisions. Especially those that would require significant price hikes due to the use of modifying default code and making it less maintainable down the line.
Many of sites you have seen probably aren't just a collection of static files. Creating perfect mark-up and css is easy when you just have to deal with a small static site. However, it becomes much more complex when a cms is involved that has default/generic tools to do things like build forms, layouts, etc. Than again… you probably wouldn't know anything about that.
I'm not saying this the case with the sites you have seen. I'm just saying from *my experience alone that the reason poor mark-up exists is due to some type of dynamic generation tool like that of a CMS which *attempts to provide the upmost flexibility for people, such as designers without modifying the back-end code. That is normall the case when it comes to a bunch of classes that *look useless or forms of divitis.
I could be completely wrong though. You could actually be looking at completely static sites without a cms of a sorts with just terrible mark-up because people genuinely do not know what they are doing.
I think it's interesting that Joomla and other solutions were mentioned; I think it highlights something important; people care about functionality and end result over quality. Most clients want "attractive, functional, make us money"; those desires are obvious; they don't want these solutions for fun, they want them to make money; so that's where their priorities are. I can count on one hand the number of my clients who want W3C validation or even know what it means; bring it up and your preaching to the wrong choir.
Those priorities (the clients) can and does have a profound effect on the quality of the solutions you see when you start getting into standards. This of course filters down the chain to developers.
Joomla, Drupal, Magento are not articles of wonderful standards and top quality products. I'm going to pick on Magento; but there are plenty of other examples.
Magento is an example of all singing, all dancing, ecommerce in a can. It has deep penetration; a plethora of plugins and a huge community behind it. It is a widely used solution and is constantly recommended.
However it is a textbook example of bloat and poor standards; in the sense that the markup of the HTML and CSS is terrible; the code base is a trillion times bigger than it needs to be; can often be nonsensical.
A lot of newbies come in, they see that these solutions are the defacto standard for stuff; so use them and learn from them; and in the process learn a lot of bad habits.
Strongly Agree with Stevie D, in-spite of doing criticism of some one if we can do something constructive here, Yes the biggest challenge in-front of us that there is no any authorized world wide accepted organization (just like w3c) by which all the measures can be verified and accepted by all. It is also highly dynamic area where daily we have lots of development, trend is changing all the time. Yes it sad if a company/organization create a website and that is poorly structured. At most of the time it is also due to people having little knowledge of some programming language and CMS start working, mostly it happens with those who always try to get cheap services...... price concern is major than quality and objectives of website. One of the solution is you must know what sort of people are associated with that organization.
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about - "cutting so many images and doing it one by one"... Do you actually understand how to use CSS?
It's "one AND the same".
Do YOU actually understand how to use CSS properly? The sites I'm talking about are full of inline styles, which shouldn't exist - so either they are incompetent web designers, (because editing each page manually, instead of the CSS file, which is what it's there for, must be a nightmare, and would cost a fortune), or the CMS system they use is absolute rubbish, and uses inline styles, instead of a style sheet. It's a simple as that. The whole point of CSS is to save a huge amount of time, and therefore money. The sites I'm talking about (which I can't list here, but I will find some bits of code and post them up for you to see) look almost impossible to edit.
No, I don't know anything about that, but then my criticism is directed at the CMS. And is even more valid, because their mistakes are imposed on whoever uses the CMS.
Either way, SOMEBODY is bad at coding.
Aside from the lack of regulation. I have found a lot of blame falls on the client themselves. While it's true there are some bad coders and some beginners out there (every expert was once a beginner anyway) , it's poor client decisions or client/designers interaction that most often leads to the prevailing trend you have mentioned.
1) Regulation or not, clients often favour a extremely lowball bids w/o question over reasonable requirement/cost assessment . So while regulation may have trained and/or talented designers in direct competition with high school students, consider also hat the price of a product is usually justified in it's construction. Aside from demand cost dynamics, remember that it takes time and equipment to hone your craft ( this all cost the GOOD professional $$) and as such the cost is passed down in the wages and working conditions REAL designers seek.
BTW, if you are thinking "supply/demand" w/o considering respect/psycology consider this: Assuming the reason for the abundance of bad code and design out there was that there is so much demand that even 'hacks' can get in into the biz then you would have concordantly high wages and not people asking for $300 sites and $11/no benefit s web jobs. Low pay + high demand = crap output.
2) Even when the client isn't begin a ceap @$$, clients seldom give real scrutiny to the final ONLINE products.
Sometimes this is laziness. For example, the client who only realizes his site is not IE7 four months after delivery, when a friend points it out to him. In any other industry a client would acid test the product upon receipt, in some cases obsessively.
Sometime it is ignorance. Most client aren't web folks... at all. I have seen heads of online departments ( here is your large company for you) who were promoted from the ranks of sales/management, not the tech. As such they know little to no CSS/HTML. I have seen those same folks, literally, instructing experienced and inexperienced developers alike on HOW things should be done\.
Sometimes it's stubbornness. The client will ask for this because he doesn't see why take the extra time (thus cost) to employ good techniques.
Sometimes it's ego. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Your manager knows that "tables are bad.. I read that on a web dev blog .. somewhere don't use tables use DIVs".... "but sir... it's tabular data.. a product /price /option tables"..."Look Stop dragging you feet, am the (insert title) here. it's my job to (insert generic goal) so don't let me catch you coding with TABLEs" The client doent want to look stupid in front of the nerd?
Sometimes it's humility. The client will distance himself from the project and wont ask 'why' and 'how'. Maybe begin afraid of 'looking stupid'. Yeah, This actually doesn't explain the bad code itself but it definitely foretell that the client wont try anything more than a cursory
Sometimes the client is inept. 'Build a site for my company '.. 'Um, ok... what do you have in mind?' "I dunno, you are the designer... build me something I know if it what I want when I see it." This is not limited to the web industry, but its effects are very obvious for web developers as you can see the hodge podge of directions in the entrails of the final products.
Sometimes it's naivete. If it "looks" good then it must be good, the client doesn't know any better and doesn't want to. Developer who are successful are so because they have HAPPY clients. So even if the developer employs a convoluted technique for and even more convoluted client goal.
Sometimes they are just not a developer/designer. I personally know of three 'Directors' who upon promotion where asked to give their respective companies a web presence (or website overhaul). These are folks who would probably be decent enough managers , but barely tech savvy enough to perform a Google search and who by their own boss' directive could not seek any professional help( I mean if a professional gave them tip or volunteer the whole site.. maybe) . And thus here there they are, their first foray into web development.. a full blown company site.
3) Critiques are internal. Look at what's happening, even in this thread. The unconnected criticism, does nothing to improve THAT particular designer's work/ethics and it does even less to cause clients to place higher value on good work. Believe me, am just as disappointed when I 'view source' only to find utter crap (as an Art Director am also disappointed when I see poor aesthetics employed in the design as well). Still this does little to educate the consumer. It only sounds like competing coders bickering like little kids "my could is better , you should have hired ME instead!" which does little to empower the industry.
There will always be some people who are better and some people who are worse at doing something. just try to become a little better each day and to educate others was to what constitutes good work ( this is pointing fingers , btw) what ever decision is made.. well that's life.
OK, I humbly cede my soapbox to the next person.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Mar 7, 2013.
QuestionMy father pass away 9 mths ago and he had a insurance policy which me and my mother received the money but my two bothers and sister dont want money. Can that money be divided between me and my mom
Hi, thank you for the question. The answer may depend on how the beneficiaries were established on the life insurance contract and your brother''s and sister''s situation. If your brothers or sister have children and the beneficiary designation is set to "per stirpes", then the proceeds may flow to their children. If there is no such designation, then the funds may be distributed pro rata to you and your mother. Meaning, this may be done automatically if your siblings deny the funds. You should check with the life insurance company, preferably the agent who handled the policy for your father and determine the best plan of action. The bottom line though is that if your siblings don''t want the proceeds there is a way for the funds to go to you and your mother. They will not be lost. At the very least, your siblings could take the funds and then gift them to you and your mother (be aware of gift tax rules if this is the course you take).
I hope this helps.

- Beware, Italia! "I often say to people who go to Italy for the first time, be careful. It could change your life forever — become your addiction, your love, and the place you'll want to return to whenever possible."
- David Rocco's Dolce Vita - The show. "Most people think it's the 'Sweet Life' meaning fancy expensive dinners and all the fuss. That's not what I mean. It's not about perfection. It's about no stress. I like to start cooking when friends arrive; guests nibble on olives and cheese, dip bread in olive oil, we talk, laugh and cook together. In Dolce Vita – the table is seen as the theme. It's about being in the moment; breaking down stereotypes on perfection. It's about opening your house to good friends, having wine, olives, maybe a freshly-made Insalata Caprese salad, assembling a dish, making memories. That's what 'La Dolce Vita' means to me."
- The Food – Classic Italian, focusing on fresh, seasonal ingredients and techniques that any home chef can master, along with a taste of the Italian lifestyle. The show is shot on location in Florence and the surrounding Tuscan countryside, with episodes in Sicily and the Amalfi coast.
- The Music –David picks the music on the show, which combines his own eclectic tastes for specially-written themes played under the cooking segments to original songs written by musicians who love the spirit of the show and wanted to contribute.

St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Vladimir Tarasenko's third-period goal tied the game and he notched the game-deciding marker in the shootout, giving the St. Louis Blues a 4-3 victory over the Nashville Predators.
Jaden Schwartz and David Backers also lit the lamp for the Blues. Brian Elliott made 28 saves as St. Louis won for the fourth time in its last five games.
Paul Gaustad, Mike Fisher and Roman Josi scored for the Predators, while Carter Hutton allowed all three goals on 34 shots. Nashville had won two straight entering the contest.
T.J. Oshie went first for the Blues in the shootout. He weaved his way back- and-forth in the slot and wristed a shot over the right pad of Hutton. In the second round, Nashville's Ryan Ellis raced in on net and switched from his forehand to the backhand to even the shootout.
After Josi missed, Tarasenko froze Hutton with a leg kick and sent a wrister over the netminder's shoulder for the win.
St. Louis scored the game's first goal on a power play in the first period. After Shea Weber went off for high sticking, Chris Stewart fed a backhand pass from behind the net to Schwartz, who skated up through the slot to beat Hutton halfway through the frame.
St. Louis went up 2-0 after Backes deflected Jay Bouwmeester's shot in front of the net 3:31 into the second.
Gaustad sent a St. Louis turnover in the slot under the arm of Elliott to get the Predators within one at the 16:48 mark of the second.
Fisher knotted the game at 2-2 after he entered the St. Louis zone on the right side and sent a sharp-angle shot on net. The puck bounced off the right pad of Elliott and into the back of the net 3:25 into the third.
The Predators took the lead at 7:33 of the final frame. Craig Smith entered the offensive zone and passed to David Legwand, with Josi jumping up on the play and receiving the disc from Legwand before wristing a shot past Elliott.
Nashville's lead lasted only 16 seconds. Tarasenko notched his 18th of the season after he drove to the slot and fired a laser past Hutton to tie the game at 3-3.
Game Notes
St. Louis is now 6-2 in shootouts this season, while Nashville is 1-7 ... The Blues are 31-1-3 when scoring first ... Nashville has dropped eight of their last nine against the Blues ... Prior to the game, the Blues placed forward Vladimir Sobotka on injured reserve with a lower-body injury ... Legwand extended his point streak to four games.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
The human mind thrives on novelty. Without new experiences our brains get bored and lazy. One way to introduce novelty into your life is to read something that isn't your normal fare. Pick up a magazine that you have never read, or look through a section of the newspaper that you normally skip. Go to a library and pick a random book from a random shelf.
This is a great way to learn new and interesting things. You never know when you might discover a new interest or learn something that relates to something that you are currently working on.

IC Students at Beijing Olympics
More students from IC than any other U.S. school worked at the Olympics.
IC had three groups of students involved with the Beijing Olympics this summer. Eleven Park students worked in China and six in New York City as NBC interns; Park is one of only six institutions in the country to be included in NBC's internship program. And 20 students from HSHP were in China as interns with the official Olympics News Service, hosted by Beijing Sport University. That's 37 IC students — more than any other higher education institution in the country!
Although they all worked hard and had little free time, they agreed to record their experiences to share with the rest of us. Look for their blogs and photo galleries at ithaca.edu/olympics08.

I wish South Africa was part of this group :S
Compare this to the fail that is the Galaxy S II. They took almost 2 months to sell 5 million units. Apple sold 4 million in a week!! Also Samsung is NOTORIOUS for quoting units SHIPPED (to retailers / sold-in)... not units SOLD (to end users / sell-out). I bet Apple will top 10 million units in this round of pre-orders.
Samsung Galaxy S II sales top 10 million
Here in India we might have to wait for 6 months.
WOW! the 4s is completely overrated! I received a FREE 4s (best friend is a RM for Apple) and I got one of the lines on my account linked to the 4s, while I left my i4 linked to the other line. I turned off the 4s two days after I got it. There is nothing that great about it besides the 64 GB. Thank god it was free because if I paid for it I'd be incredibly pi$$ed. I'll keep the upgrade I have for the i5 next year. Apple has sold all these 4s by claiming Siri is a new technology but I had it on my i4 for close to a year, then they made it so it was only possible on 4s. When I open the Siri app on i4, it just says that it's now "home on the 4s", so it can no longer help me. Siri hasn't changed that much that I'd pay $399 or even $199 to have it. The text voice recognition sucks, I've used it and it always gets the words wrong.
APPLE, in my opinion, screwed the pooch on this release. BUT people who have to have the new iPhone (just cuz they added an 's') obviously has given Apple plenty of $ to be able to say they have the new phone.
Have fun regretting paying for and or wasting an upgrade on the 4s (if u already have i4)....
You just seem like another person whining Because "what's the difference" of apple would have made the exact same phone with a different look You'd be all over it when intact it wouldn't be any different just looks. Fact is that it handles faster data speeds, the phone itself is 2x as fast and the camera out performs most point and shoot cameras on the market.
So IMHO get over it. So the phone has the same look BFD lol
PS. I didn't turn the line off, just the phone! It's not worth using, YET!
And yes I actually do own a Subaru. I was simply stating that the 4s is the fastest phone out on the market, and if it looked different you'd be all over it.
What really makes your post just stupid is the fact that you stopped using the 4s and went back to your 4. Lol I guess if you like using a slower device go right ahead
I in no way bashed you I just gave my honest opinion about how I felt about your post.
And yes I have created very popular themes such as iCatalyst, E is for Ezra (the charity theme made for the owner of MMI) UINique (one of the top sellers on cydia per the owner of cydia) iNovation and newest iXLR8.
So please quit trolling about stuff you don't know.
Only point I was making is you said there was "nothing better about the 4s other than 64gig".
4s has twice as fast processing power, way better graphic capabilities, a better radio capable of data speeds 2x faster, and a better camera What isn't better about The 4s? Oh yeah they didn't make the design different.
Fact is if they redid the design of the phone you'd be all over it and the guts would be exactly the same.
Your the one that decided to bring in comments of my personal life, and speculating on things you have no clue about. So yes you are a troll
Stay in topic
As for your "creations", I'd hardly call them that. I ONLY have to write one word! JUNK! I certainly wouldn't put my name on those developments, especially the themes. But there again that's my HONEST opinion, lol. So it is you that should stick to the topic! This had nothing to do with internals.
Oh and when you start making themes like VIP, Prestige HD, ReviKrs/DX, and Noki then I would say you can call yourself a "reputable" creator.
But hey I guess everyone is entitled to there opinion. Especially newbies like you.
Siri is hardly what is new and better about the 4s. Siri is bad ***, but how fast this phone is and the camera is what people love.
I don't care if you wouldn't put your name on my themes, for one obviously you have crap taste, as u can't even recognize a superior product of it hit you in a face.
Your replies are replies of a troll, cause all you have to say is things to try and piss me off, and have no actually intelligence behind them.
HOTSHOT! Lmfao
1. So I guess the 2x fast processor, 7x better graphic rendering, better
camera, betters battery life, and better radio design, is not at all better than the 4?
2. Here you explain how you will wait for i5 next year which no one can even say is real at this point
3. When I watched the keynote I must have missed the part where the only selling point was Siri. What they said its technology that has never been INTERGRADED into a phone before
4. I didn't realize that siri on your iPhone 4 could access all your stock applications, considering per apples policy on app store apps would prohibit the program from touching any root applications.
5. Judging by your post you probably don't even speak clear English so there for it didn't recognize you.
Also I was not the only designer on the Ezra project so now you have insulted 4 other HIGHLY reputable theme designers.
