How It Fits (based on width B)
The Rider 16 is a moderate feature, moderate neutral shoe designed for daily training and high mileage.
Comments: This is my first pair of Mizuno's! Love, Love, Love. I have a very narrow foot, and this shoe fits great! I run on both roads and trails. I would definitely recommend this shoe.
From: Lauren, Birmingham, AL, USA
Comments: Most of my life, I've run in Nike or New Balance, so this is my first Mizuno. The forefoot is firm but protective, and that gives it a pretty lively ride. The cushioning is also durable, since I've put a fair amount of mileage on the shoe and it seems like it's got a lot of life left in it. I'm also impressed with the fit: roomy up front but secure in the midfoot. I'm not a minimalist type, so I don't mind the big heel-toe drop. All in all, my tootsies love these babies (and they look sharp, too)! If the shoe continues to hold up, I could be a Wave Rider runner for life!
From: Frances, Mission Viejo, CA
Comments: Just a cool fact...these are the same shoes that Texas State senator Wendy Davis was wearing during her 13 hour filibuster of the Texas Republicans' anti-choice bill recently!

Cute, but...
"Originally, I ordered this shoe in a 7.5 because I was worried about y toes being squished, but it was much too large so I exchanged for a 7. The shoe is very cute and quite comfy but the toe area has a full open seam which can be very uncomfortable. I put medical tape on the seam and that has helped, but it's frustrating."

Lori :----Your technical language is just fine, it leads me to believe that what you now have installed in your toilet tanks the ever popular "Fluid Mister" ball cocks.. They do a good job of filling the tank when needed ( even at three in the morning ) with a loud bang especially if you have some loose piping in you walls , floors or ceilings. It is for this reason that I prefer to stay with OEM ballcocks (like the ones with a ball.)
Maybe you can get the Plumber to come back and install a quiter and gentler ballcock, I think that is a reasonable request....I have had to return many times for the same reason, and that's why I don"t use the ever popular "Fluid Mister" ballcock. Lots of luck with the Plumber.

If he makes a comment about it, I'll be glad. If it isn't mentioned at all, then I call plot hole.
Oh wow...The animals revealed...So Tsuna has a lion? How did it fly like before then? Could it be that winged lion which the Venetian people idolize?
Mangas I like:

Animes I like:
Code Geass, Kuroshitsuji...tbc
It's not winged. Fire can be used for propulsion right? Tsuna uses the same mechanism for his flight.
Also, boxes are only based on real animals. That's why it could never have been a phoenix, dragon, griffin, etc. (Unless they found examples of those animals in the world of 10 years later.)
That is the newest meme xDD
Does Chrome have an owl? Or is that Hibari's TYL box? O_O or maybe Hibari's TYL box is the porcupine...==" then why isn't it shown?
And there's actually only been like...a few Ligers ever existing in the world. They were all infertile and died out...so in theory its based on a real animal.
And anyway; we could hope, right? xDD I wonder if those box weapons could fuse O_O
or not.
I'll bite you to death.

Well they made a tsuchinoko a box, which isn't really a confirmed animal. So they can very well use use any other mystical animal, as long as it's reasonable.

By JOHN A. CLIBOURNNorth Hills, Calif.
Relatively few Americans have a good understanding about our rights. Yet, our founders clearly defined both the source of our rights and the proper role of government more than 200 years ago.
The founders studied thousands of years of history and were very familiar with different forms of government. They incorporated their knowledge into the Declaration of Independence and later into the U.S. Constitution.
On July 4, 1776, in the first 56 words of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, the birth certificate of our nation, the 56 signers stated: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
Here, we have the basics of Americanism: Each person is born with the right to life, liberty and property. Each can do whatever he or she pleases except interfere with the equal rights of others. The only legitimate function of government is to help protect the rights of its citizens. To accomplish this, government needs to use only the minimum force necessary to keep people from harming each other, to compel them to keep their contractual agreements, and to protect them against possible aggression from a foreign power.
Founded on these principles, the United States became the greatest nation in history. However, when our government assumes other powers, as it has for many years, it threatens our lives and freedom, and eventually we will be living in a police state.

The meaning of Pavel Bure
Patrick Johnston
November 12 2012 03:18PM
The glory of the rush
In the hundred years of the NHL, there have been few players who lifted fans out of their seats. Many are just names from the past, but others are visceral images. Names like Richard, Morenz, Lalonde, Cook, Orr, LaFleur, Coffey...all remind us of the thrill of the end-to-end rush.
There's a spike of adrenaline in that moment, where you begin to overflow with excitement. Seeing a player wind up at one end and then take their patented explosive first stride to gain the neutral zone is just the beginning; you hope there will bemore. The player gains the red line, the defence is retreating, then the blue line and...
You hope there will be a break. Are they skating fast enough? There's a hole there, can the skater hit it and keep the puck?
You don't want the moment to end.
Into the clear, there nothing between shooter and goalie. You aren't quite sure how the skater is always able to do this, but they have, and that's why you are watching.
It almost doesn't matter if they score.
Pavel Bure's first shift was even greater because we didn't know what was coming. It's a shift that's been written about many times before; most highlight the sheer electricity of it, how it was like he had been shot out of a cannon and roared all over the ice. From that moment on, how Vancouver hockey fans understood hockey changed.
The Russian Rocket pulled hockey in Vancouver into a nearly-perpetual offensive age. There had been talented players here before - Andre Boudrias, Thomas Gradin, Patrik Sundstrom, Petri Skriko, Tony Tanti - but none had ever ushered in a mindset. Bure did that. Canucks fans came to expect goals and exciting team play.
Years later, it was a mentality that Brian Burke highlighted: he made it clear that Vancouver fans were owed entertaining hockey; that it would be easy to turn into the New Jersey of the west, but ethically he would never allowed that to happen. That was a legacy of Bure.
The Canucks would forever be a team that scored goals.
Pat Quinn has pointed out how bad things were when he arrived as GM in 1987. Crowds were tiny (we complain about Phoenix now, but this was a sad-sack market in 1986), the team was terrible and the prospect cupboard was bare. After the arrival of Skriko, Sundstrom, Doug Lidster and Cam Neely, in 1983 and 1984, there wasn't another useful young player to emerge until Trevor Linden began a slow trickle of quality forwards in 1988.
Bringing in Bure was the pinnacle of Quinn's player recriutment drive. He built a team to score.
Fans from 20 years ago were lucky. It was like they were watching a blank canvas - of a team and of a player. Everything that happened then was new and exciting. That was because of Pavel Bure.
Canucks fans have enjoyed a team of offensive ambition for most of the last 20 years.
Pavel bure was the true beginning of that.
He wasn't just the first generational talent to be seen in Vancouver, he was the vanguard of an assumption about hockey.

I hold it in my mouth for a minute, then swallow and follow up with some water. It gives a little burst of energy and mental clarity that I need when first waking up. And if I'm dragging during the day, it helps with that also. I just wish they would go back to the 8 oz. bottles, since we use so much of it. I highly recommend!

Hacks/Hackers Bogota Develops New Digital Map: Mi Bogotá Verde
Participants of the first Hacks/Hackers Bogotá hackathon gather for a group photo.
Mi Bogotá Verde, a new, crowdsourced digital map that will track solid waste disposal and other garbage concerns is just a few weeks away from going online in Bogotá.
Hacks/Hackers Bogotá developed this map during its first hackathon Aug. 11.
We got together with the idea of putting together a general environmental map, but as is often the case with a hackathon, what comes in is not necessarily what comes out.
However, we stayed on topic, and ended up with a digital map that will seek citizen input to monitor garbage problems in this city of more than 8 million people.
A screenshot of the map in development.
What is going to make this map stand out is our thumbs-up, thumbs-down approach to the solid waste problem, even in this first phase.
We are kicking off with just three main categories — good practices for dealing with solid waste, bad practices and verified reports. With time, the map will expand to include other urban environmental concerns.
In other words, rather than treating this as a crisis map around solid waste concerns, we will also show where and when something is done right. And we are using the open-source Ushahidi mapping platform to achieve this goal.
The slogan for the map, "Entre todos lo lograremos" also applies to the 20 plus people who showed up for the hackathon. We think it's a terrific start for a chapter that just came into being in April 2012.
The mapping project was decided upon by a vote at the second Hacks/Hackers Bogotá meeting in late May. A volunteer organizing committee met periodically in June and July to get things going and keep the momentum up.
And when we all got together, the momentum was definitely there, first through our brainstorming and then with our get-down-to-it attitude from all who were there — a mix of journalists, entrepreneurs, designers, developers and engineers.
The group works up outreach strategy and more shares thoughts.
We divided into three groups to get our work done — communications, strategy and technology.
"I love the topic," said Diana Salazar, who works in strategic digital communications. "And I think this interdisciplinary approach is important to generate optimum results."
We had lots of help. HubBOG, which fosters co-working and entrepreneurship, opened up one of their workspaces. There was participant spillover from the members and organizers of Bogodev, a meetup group of Web and mobile developers and Bogotech, an organization of entrepreneurs and technology enthusiasts.
Luis Hernando Aguilar, standing, explains a point to other members of the technology team at the Hacks/Hackers Bogota hackathon.
The International Center for Journalists, through its Knight International Journalism Fellow in Colombia, Hacks/Hackers co-organizer, Ronnie Lovler provided snacks. Co-organizer Renata Cabrales, social media editor at El Tiempo, got us some great pre-hackathon coverage.
As an added bonus, we were able to be part of the hemispheric initiative, #hacklatam, that connected us and another Bogota group with Miami, Buenos Aires and Santiago in a first effort at virtual regional collaboration.
But even though our first hackathon is over, the work goes on through our Google group. Other chapter members who could not attend the hackathon are contacting us to get involved.
With the commitment of hackathon participants and the growing interest of other chapter members who want to get on board, we expect Mi Bogota Verde, to be up and running before the end of the month. For now, you can also follow us on Twitter at #BogmapaAmbiental.

Add functionality to tablelib to optionally allow a table's contents to be downloaded as XLS, ODS or CSV.
Functionality will allow for slightly different contents in html and downloaded files eg. there will be no links or action icons in the downloaded files.

some of the improvments have been done already on the item analysis report i.e. adding a HTML output and adding columns so that the data can be more useful for other software analysis
I attach a patch to tablelib :
+ /**
+ * Add a row of data to the table. This function takes an array with
+ * column names as keys.
+ * It ignores any elements with keys that are not defined as columns. It
+ * puts in empty strings into the row when there is no element in the passed
+ * array corresponding to a column in the table. It puts the row elements in
+ * the proper order.
+ * @param $rowwithkeys array
+ *
+ */
The basic idea is to have a way to add a row to a table without having to worry about getting the elements in the right order.
All tables have an array $this->columns defined with unique names for each column in the table, this method takes an array with these column names as keys.
This is the first part of my proposed additions to tablelib to make it a little easier to use and reduce code duplication.
Comments please, do people agree that this can be added to HEAD and 1.9 branch? It is an addition to the API and won't affect any existing code.
My second proposal to improve tablelib is to have a third way to add data to a table.
Most tables are constructed from an array of data returned by a sql query.
I propose that we have a method on flexible_table, get_data();
get_data can be called after the columns array is set.
It will call a virtual private method on itself to construct the sql and fetch any data needed from the db or elsewhere.
Then it will iterate through the data and :
- For each column in the array get_data will call a method on the object passed to it 'get_data_{$columnname}' with parameters :
- $data - a row from the returned sql and
- $download - a parameter indicating whether we are building data for download or for display.
The parameters are only for convenience. The get_data_{$columnname} can also pull data from properties on $this.
If no method get_data_{$columnname} is found then the column content is assumed to be $data->$columname. So for a simple table with just text you don't need to define get_data_{$columnname} methods at all. Or you can define them one by one after checking that the correct data is being fetched from the db.
Then people who want to use this new api for building table data need to create a child class of flexible_table overriding the virtual function to fetch data and optionally add get_data_{$columnname} methods.
My third proposal is to move the code for producing downloads into tablelib.
- we would filter download page parameter at the top of the page on which the table is printed and pass it to flexible_table to activate the download mode of tablelib.
- headers and adding data to rows in the correct way is handled by flexible_table internals.
- see above get_data_{$columnname} is passed a parameter $download which is set to 0 for no download or contains a string 'CSV', 'ODS' etc.
- we would add methods to print download buttons. Buttons would be included for CSV, ODS, Excel and, if the table is paged, optionally to output full table as one XHTML file.
These tablelib functions can be usefull for general uses and if correclty designed (as you always do ) will be a + .
The different tables from the reports are a good way to test and code all the necessary features.
Take care that flexible_table remains sufficiently flexible...
I worry about "flexible_table internals." in
"we would filter download page parameter at the top of the page on which the table is printed and pass it to flexible_table to activate the download mode of tablelib.
- headers and adding data to rows in the correct way is handled by flexible_table internals. "
I have to struggle with the internals of moodle_forms to obtain specific displays so ...
I just added some of the usual suspects from Moodle HQ, so they can give their opinion on this.
I have long thought it silly that there is almost-duplicate code in the quiz reports for producing the HTML table and the various download formats. So I certainly support doing something.
On a quick read through, Jamie's proposals sound plausible. But I want to think more before I comment.
I started a docs page that documents how the new additions to the api might work, rather presumptuously here http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:lib/tablelib.php
Here is my suggested patch to add to the tablelib api. It won't affect existing code using the tablelib api as it is. The patch is for the latest Moodle 1.9 stable branch.
test.php is a complete script with a basic usage example as explained in the docs page whose link is above.
overviewreportusingnewtablelib.txt is a patch to apply to 1.9 stable branch that shows the new api in use in the quiz overview report.
Hi Jamie,
I've been looking docs and patch. And here there are some comments:
- Architectural: I think it's better to make all the "download" stuff to be supported within flexitable itself, so any flexitable should be able to:
- flexitable->downloadable(array(TABLE_D_ODS, TABLE_D_XLS, TABLE_D_XML, TABLE_D_TXT) (setting the "is_downloadeable" attribute). Defaults to null or empty array.
- optionaly: flexitable->show_download_buttons_at(array(TABLE_P_TOP, TABLE_P_BOTTOM), to specify where the buttons should be showed, default to TABLE_P_TOP IMO.
- flexitable->print_html() should show dynamically the buttons (hopefully one div, no table) respecting previous settings.
- flexitable->is_downloading(optional_param('download', '', PARAM_ALPHA)) can be used to set the downloading status, and also to request current status if called without param.
- flexitable->download() should perform all the download, calling download_XXX() methods, one for each supported format.
And then, with download support in flexitable... I'd implement your ultra-cool simple_table, perhaps calling it sql_table or database_table, only with the bits necessary to work against one query.
I know it's one radical change from your proposed patch, but I think we should separate downloads (core function) and "suppliers of information" (array of data, sql...).
Just my opinion. Ciao
Of course, I missed that, you ideas (and the implementation) looks quite interesting! Thanks!
(in fact that's the cause I proposed the alternative way in my previous message, because both downloads and sql are two ultra-cool extensions for the tablelib stuff). Re-thanks!
Thanks for your comments Eloy. I like your ideas. Am willing to refactor the code I've written when we have some agreement of what the api should be like.
Refactoring tablelib.php so much of it's functionality like paging, sorting by column etc. work with data sources other than one sql query will be quite a lot of work but I agree that putting the download code into the flexible_table class makes sense. Then at some later date someone else might agree to refactor tablelib so that it could work well with other data sources.
Thought more about Eloy's comments and think that :
- it would be inefficient to implement a method "download()" which would be an alternative to print_html. The problem is that this would entail always keeping a copy of all data added to the table. There would necessarily be a method add_data as there is now. The data added to the table would have to be stored in an array. If download is called after adding all the data to the table then another for loop would have to write these values into the data structure the export plug in would need.
- we have already told the table we are downloading by calling is_downloading(). Why do we have to call the download method to tell the table again that we are downloading. Instead add_data should do the correct thing with the data depending on what format we set the is_downloading flag to.
So I think that we should probably do a download as follows :
//start_output is always called. If this is not a download, it does nothing.
$table->start_output($filename, $sheettitle);
//add data to table/export here with a for loop
for ($data as $datarow)
In the case of the export formats to spreadsheet or to CSV we will probably output the data as we go along, instead of keeping a copy in memory. The old table class currently keeps a copy of the data in memory and then constructs the html from the internal array when you call print_html. We could call print_html from the finish_output function.
I would propose we have a new plugin folder called lib/tableexport/{tableexportformats}
/ these would contain folders with files of a sub class of table_export_format that would have methods add_data, start_output and finish_output
Instead of is_downloading() calls to check whether to output html or non-html when formatting rows of data we would call $table->wants_html() there would be a wants_html() method on the tableexport plug in classes which would be set to return false on the default parent class.
Uploaded new test.php which works with new tablelib.php patch which I'm about to upload.
My new patch for tablelib takes into account Eloy's comments above. Seperated out functionality download export types into seperate classes.
Data is now added straight to either the spreadsheet or output to the buffer rather than keeping a redundant copy of data in an array inside the table object as this might consume significant amounts of extra memory for large downloadable tables.
The existing flexible_table API is still supported.
Looks pretty cool to me and fairly easy to understand. My +1 for HEAD iff Eloy agrees.

Hmm, if he chose rukia, he might have to die/leave his body, though.. Although i guess rukia could just live in the real world with him. But itd be a lot more trouble if he chose rukia, wouldn't it? considering hes human, shes a soul/spirit.. Not that it would actually matter too much, though. It was just something to consider. :-/
Neither. Orihime's a clingy dependent ditz, and Rukia is just...Rukia.
Ichigo needs someone who can fend for herself without going all neo-feminist on him, and whose company he enjoys...Or Rangiku. Preferrably Rangiku.

Romanian model Silviu Tolu is the star of the QS by sOLIVER spring 2011 campaign. It embodies the very essence of being young rebellious urban kids dressed in clothes designed for fence-hopping and running from the law after committing petty crimes (we feel bad for that building they're defacing). Denim-on-denim is a prevelant trend with a majority of light wash denim separates as a canvas for details like pop-color T's, handkerchiefs and metallic accessories. Other basics include floral knit tops for the girls and a black vest-over-t-shirt combo for the guys. Add a pompadour and some flirty model interaction, and you've got a recipe for stayin' young!

Many researchers find their family line eventually leads to records maintained by the Roman Catholic Church. This presentation is a survey of the types of records kept by the church and keys to extracting data. Religious newspapers, Jubilee Books and Parish Histories are also covered.

It used to be thought that cholesterol alone was the major marker for atherosclerosis. This is no longer the case. Inflammation, not cholesterol, has been identified as a significant factor in the development of coronary artery disease, plaque instability and plaque rupture.
Inflammation and Heart Disease
Pro-inflammatory messengers, called cytokines, are now recognized as behind-the-scenes culprits. Cytokines are similar to hormones. They're produced naturally by the body and may act on tissue anywhere in the body.
When inflammation is present, the body causes cytokine messengers such as interleukin-6 to instruct the liver to release inflammatory mediators—such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A—into the blood. That's why we use these substances to measure how much chronic inflammation you have.
WATCH: Learn About the "Dirty Dozen" Risk Factors that Contribute to Inflammation and Heart Disease
Video courtesy of HeartMDInstitute
CRP Is Indicative of Cardiac Risk
The inflammatory marker C-reactive protein is directly associated with atherosclerotic plaque. In multiple studies, C-reactive protein has been identified as a potent predictor of future cardiovascular events in otherwise healthy men and women—one that's far more reliable than elevated cholesterol levels.
Here are the highlights from a study of CRP in 28,000 American women. Researchers looked at CRP and LDL levels in women who developed coronary artery disease and put them into one of four possible categories:
- High CRP/High LDL cholesterol
- High CRP/Low LDL cholesterol
- Low CRP/High LDL cholesterol
- Low CRP/Low LDL cholesterol
The results were quite surprising.
Most cardiologists would have expected that women with higher levels of LDL would have been at the highest risk for inflammation and heart disease. But in this large study, not only was elevated CRP the best indicator of risk, women with high LDL and high CRP were also at the MOST risk. This is because inflammation is prompting the LDL to oxidize and form into plaque, rather than circulate freely, which explains the close connection between inflammation and heart disease.
This finding is significant because this study shows once again that LDL cholesterol is not the lone culprit in coronary artery disease. In fact, this study reported that out of 12 possible risk factors, elevated CRP was the strongest predictor of future cardiac events for postmenopausal women. And, by the way, high CRP levels also predicted greater risk for men.
Interleukin-6 May Be An Even Greater Predictor
Next, let's look at results from the Iowa 65+ Rural Health Study, where investigators studied interleukin-6. (Interleukin-6 stimulates the liver to produce CRP in the first place.)
The Iowa study demonstrated that elevations of interleukin-6 and CRP were associated with increased risk of both cardiovascular disease and general mortality in healthy older people. In another project—the large Physicians Health Study (PHS)—higher levels of CRP were found to predict risk for heart attack and ischemic (low blood oxygen) stroke in men.
The Bottom Line on Inflammation and Heart Disease
Biological characteristics that are associated with high CRP levels include infections, high blood sugar, overweight status and stickiness of the blood. Any one of these situations literally feeds pro-inflammatory mediators, ratcheting up the chances that you'll develop atherosclerosis.Therefore, whether you are talking CRP or interleukin-6, stopping inflammation is the key to stopping atherosclerosis, heart disease and even sudden cardiac death.

Local company to produce Palermo documentary
February 12, 2013
Post Impressions Films, located in Nevada City, has completed preproduction on "Never Admit Defeat: The Steve and Debbie Palermo Story," and plans to initiate location production this summer.
The feature documentary will chronicle the life of former American League umpire Steve Palermo, who was shot and partially paralyzed in the summer of 1991 when, following a Rangers-Angels game, he came to the aid of two waitresses being mugged outside Campisi's Restaurant in Dallas. At the time of the shooting, Palermo was the top-rated umpire in the AL and only five months earlier had married Debbie Aaron from Kansas the love of his life.
"Never Admit Defeat" will explore the tragic event that ended Palermo's umpiring career and the amazing love that has endured through all the challenges Steve and Debbie have faced. The Palermos reside near Overland Park, Kansas. Steve Palermo is now a supervising umpire for Major League Baseball, beloved and respected by people who know the story of his unselfish act of heroism. As recently as last summer, Steve was honored by Major League Baseball at the All-Star Game when he was invited by Commissioner Bud Selig to accompany the umpiring crew to home plate to accept the starting lineups from managers Tony LaRussa and Ron Washington.
But "Never Admit Defeat" is more than a baseball story. It is a compelling love story, an inspiring story of courage and a powerful story of perseverance under extraordinary conditions.
"We are honored that Steve and Debbie chose us to tell their story," said Carolyn Voss, owner of Post Impressions Films.
Voss will direct the documentary and reports that several people –– in and out of baseball –– have already committed to the project. Nolan Ryan, Fay Vincent, Pat Gillick, Sandy Alderson, Bobby Valentine, Curt Schilling, George Brett, Frank White, Dave Righetti, Al Newman, Rene Lachman and others will appear, along with journalists Bob Costas, Bob Ley, George Will, Dan Shaughnessy and Dave Kindred.
Other guests include Judge John Cruezot, who presided over the trial of Steve's assailant; Dixie Bistrow, one of the two waitresses mugged that fateful night in 1991; restaurateur Corky Campisi; Parkland Hospital emergency room physician Dr. Phil Huber; and others involved with Steve and Debbie's life before and after the shooting. Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather will narrate.
"There has been an amazing reaction to our requests for on-camera guests," Voss noted. "Steve is a revered baseball figure, and Debbie is a remarkable example of strength under stress. We are privileged to be able to tell their story and are optimistic that the necessary funding will be found this spring so that we can move forward with the production phase during the summer."
Post Impressions Films is a full-service production and post-production company –– also currently producing "Following the White Line," culled from more than 350 hours of never-before-seen interviews with Negro Leaguers who traveled the country playing a game they loved.

Hi, firstly, I did not make this, my scanlation group's cleaner did. All credit should go to Aterin. I just thought I'd post it so people knew this skill.
Also, I'm going to post in steps. Please comment on each step, as I'll be adding them one after the other but not necessarily all at once, ok?
Now let us go on a Journey through time and space,
To the World of the Mighty Boosh....
HQ Cleaning Guide
First Released: Jan. 15th, 2008
Last Updated: Jan. 15th, 2008
Revision Version: 1
Hey there, I'm Banana_Samurai but this is Aterin's guide, you may know me as the guy who runs Dragon Guard- the group that releases HQ Rave Master.
Open your RAW page, if it's in jpg or any other file format form convert it to .png. Note: Be sure you do your cleaning with a .png file.
Next if the page isn't straight go to the Image tab, then down to Rotate Canvas and click on "Abitrary". Depending on which way the page needs to rotate you either use cw or ccw. NOTE: It's important that you do this step now because if you do it in later steps it will mess up the quality of the page.
Go to the image tab, then click on "Image Size". A box like the one in the picture should come up.
Change the resolution from 300 or whatever it may be to 150; be sure to change the resolution before changing anything else in that box. Next change the width in "Pixel Dimensions" to 754 pixels. Click okay and exit the box. Now go back to the Image tab; this time go to Canvas Size. Change just the Height to 1150 pixels. Make sure also that it's in pixels and not in inches.

It's a joke. No, not that B-M undertook such a campaign (or how badly it was handled) but the hyperbole from the press that borders on Foghorn Leghorn declaring the 'shock, I say shock, of the PR game' that they are intimately involved. The "smear" of the campaign that is just so shocking that it's going to be the downfall of Google, Facebook and journalism (or something) ... when it's just another day at the office.
Or the hypocrisy of public relations executives that are claiming that they would never undertake such a campaign for a client, never have done a FUD or whisper campaign and how bad and evil it is. Right, keep saying that and repeat it to yourself the next time a client asks you to share information (either client or competitor) with the media. Yes, that's a whisper campaign. Or, well, keep lying to yourself so you can claim the moral high ground (for whatever that's worth).
Or the innocence - oh the poor innocence that will be severely beaten out with each campaign - of the students whose souls' will gain a little bit of grey with each call or email to a reporter to give them background. It's called public relations - and it's like knowing how sausage is made: you don't want to, but you guys are now in the sausage business.
You see, this is just a standard operation in public relations; It's even more common in public affairs. It's called spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt to deposition a client. A whisper campaign is just what it sounds like - you call up a few people, meet them in person, and feed them information in that Bourne way you know you always wanted to do.
What's sad/bad here is how badly handled this campaign was by two former journalists - two journalists that should have had the connections to successfully undertake such a campaign and instead were blind emailing bloggers and reporters (really, email!? How quaint) with whom they didn't have deep relationships. The fun irony is how poorly the tech reporter treated PR people - hi kettle, it's pot!!
So here's a primer for anyone that wants to undertake a FUD/whisper campaign:
- If you have no relationships - real deep relationships - with reporters, you're fucked and going to fail (see example above)
- If you are using email, you're missing that verbal part of whisper. It's called a whisper campaign for a reason ... it's verbal.
- Have real information if you're doing a FUD whisper campaign, e.g. "Hey, I heard product X doesn't work from these people, you hearing the same thing?" (Look at how easy that is - AND you just depositioned the competition at the same time you were doing competitive analysis and digging!!)
- In this age of social media, well, the rules don't really change: have relationships
Have I ever undertaken a whisper or FUD campaign while working for a client? I am not at liberty to answer that, but anyone that has been in the industry - especially technology - has done a whisper campaign of some sort. Or gone on background to a reporter at some time (and yes, fed information about competitors while on background). And if you're smart, you think of ways to position your company over the competition and feed that information to friendlies.
As for the "ethics discussions" that have sprung up around this - really, we're going to have a discussion about how the sausage is made? There's good PR, there's bad PR and then there's that gray PR. And in the PR world, it's all about gray.
If PR is upset about anything, it should be about how poorly this campaign was done. In reality, the issue isn't the campaign or even the lack of transparency. It is about how badly the campaign was executed.
For another great, balanced take on it, make sure you read Stuart Bruce's post.

Gunfire and explosions have been heard in the Boston suburb of Watertown, Mass., and police have converged on the area. The events there follow the shooting death late Thursday of a campus police officer at the nearby Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The location of the activity, of course, raises the possibility that it's related to the hunt for those responsible for Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon.
And at 3:35 a.m. ET, The Boston Globe was reporting this:
"1 Marathon bombing suspect in custody; search for another suspect still on in Watertown."
Boston's WCVB-TV was writing that:
"Explosives and guns were apparently used in an attack on police officers in Watertown early Friday morning in a chaotic scene that sources say may be linked to the Boston Marathon bombings."
NPR correspondents are also checking with their sources in an effort to determine what is going on. We'll be updating with news as we get it.
Update at 3:50 a.m. ET. From The Associated Press:
"The chaos in Watertown, about 10 miles west of Boston, occurred just hours after a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer was shot and killed on campus. It was unclear if the outbursts of violence were related. …
"The officer had been responding to report of a disturbance Thursday night when he was shot multiple times, according to a statement from the Middlesex district attorney's office and Cambridge police. It said there were no other victims.
"Meanwhile, in Watertown, witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots and explosions at about 1 a.m. Friday. Dozens of police officers and FBI agents were in the neighborhood and a helicopter circled overhead."

GDB 49: Super Bowl Bait and Switch
February 01 2009 09:06AM
Oilers fans will fall into one of three camps on Sunday, Feb 1, 2008.
Camp One
People who say "There's a football game today?" as they happily bundle themselves into their cars and head to RX1 to watch the Oilers play the Predators at noon on the very same Sunday as Superbowl 43.
Camp Two
People who say "There's an Oilers game today?" as they happily sit on their couch watching hour 498 of Super Bowl pre-game coverage documenting the early trials and tribulations of Pittsburgh Tight End Sean McHugh in excruciating detail.
Camp Three
Easy going fans who will switch back and forth between the two games, watching the Oilers if they are winning and tuning in to catch the end of the fourth quarter.
Whatever camp you are party to we salute you. We sort of fall into Camp three except that we love Super Bowl parties so very much. By the time you read this, in fact, we are most likely already on our way to Wobbly Town due to the Bud Light Express.
In any event, it sucks that the Oilers play before the Super Bowl. Unless they beat the Predators of course.
Then it was the greatest idea that was ever hatched.
Superbowl 43 Prediction: We will win the annual Coin Toss bet against our boy Smigerowski. Believe that.

1- Put rel="nofollow" into the rss links 2- Keep all your RSS feeds on their own page and not in your sidebar 3- Use a different site to read RSS feeds. I like Google Reader myself. 4- Disable automatic link notification
You'll have to play around and see if any of those get you success. I don't know if anyone really understands the xmlrpc / linkback tech.

I'm in camp 4. The camp that'll watch the Oilers game first. Realizing the game ends about 2 hours before the Super Bowl (is kickoff really going to be before 7pm EST, after all the pageantry?), I'll then either further amp myself up after the Oilers win, picking up fights with random passers-by; or take out my frustrations of a loss (blaming it on the afternoon game), by picking up fights with random passers-by, to get myself ready for Super Bowl whatever-the-hell it is.

Back to Goala though...is anyone else ruined now after hearing that? Now everytime I hear Lola I will always sing Goala in my head. It reminds me of when I worked at a crap hole job cleaning tour busses in Banff. One of the guys I worked with was in bad shape as his body was twisted due to a disease I can't remember. The guy had a great personality and was fun to work with but it hurt to watch the guy walk. One of the other guys I worked with saddled up next to me one day and said "hey you know the song "Cripple Creek"?" I says yeah. He says "yeah, well you always think of buddy whenever you hear that song now". Dammit if that prick wasn't right! Same thing for Goala/Lola. And now Private Eyes! Damn you Oilers!!

I am in Camp 5
I stayed up all night drinking nothing but Rock Star's and Budweiser with a 3 AM call to Mr. Donair to watch my boy R-Fed loose in the Aussie Open final. Now with 2 hours sleep I am getting my drinkface on to watch the Oil belittle the preds then a wobbly walk over to a buddies house for his Super Bowl party were last year I ended up passed out under the kitchen table due to too many tequila shots.....Camp 5 is an up hill climb of drunkness!!!
Wanye my name is OilersNinja and I am an acholic!!

February 01 2009, 11:39AM
so will someone fight Tootoo today? or will he just hurt one of the oilers again?
February 01 2009, 11:42AM
Camp 4 sounds like a party. I'll happily start on the Lucky Lager at home and then have the wife drive my ass over to buddy's to watch the superbowl.
People in the other camps should probably learn to do some math...or how to tell time. Tricky sh!t I know, but if Liam Reddox can make it to the top line on an NHL team you can do it!

Top 10 Law School Home Pages of 2011

February 9, 2012
Journal of Law, Vol. 2, (Journal of Legal Metrics, Vol. 1), No. 1, pp. 25-52, 2012
Georgetown Public Law Research Paper No. 12-012
For the third consecutive year, the website home pages for all ABA-accredited law schools are evaluated and ranked based on objective criteria. For 2011, law school home pages advanced in some areas. For instance, there are now thirteen sites using the HTML5 doc type, up from a single site in 2010. In addition, seventeen schools achieved a perfect score for three tests focused on website accessibility, up from eight in 2010. Nonetheless, there's enough diversity in coding practices and content to help separate the great from the good.
For this year's survey, twenty-four elements of each home page are assessed across three broad categories: Design Patterns & Metadata; Accessibility & Validation; and Marketing & Communications. Most elements require no special design skills, sophisticated technology or significant expenses. For interpreting these results, the author does not try to decide if any whole is greater or less than the sum of its parts.

Didn't Meet My ExpectationsI bought this because it was so highly rated, but it's average at best. It doesn't fluff up my hair like I thought it would and it's not as easy to use as a spray dry shampoo. I used it as directed and my hair still looks flat and a bit oily. It's definitely not worth the price. I use another dry shampoo that I buy from Folica. It's one-third the price and works much better. Just wanted to try something new, but I'll stick with my old stand-by.Feb 15, 2015Julene W. / Fort Myers, FLHAIR TYPEBlonde / Oily Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

FinallyI tried this on a whim. It works great. My hair gets oily after just a few hours. I've tried aerosols and they dry my hair out while not absorbing the oil. This product worked great. It smells fantastic which is another plus from the sprays. It takes a little getting used to because of how the powder comes out. You can easily waste it. If you're a brunette then be careful with getting the product close to your hairline because you can see some smudging. Again, take like two days to master applying it if you're not good with powders. But after that you're golden. Gives my mid day oily hair a great pick me up and is small enough that I can take with me anywhere I go. I'm already on my second bottle and will buy more.Feb 9, 2014Martha / Ft LauderdaleHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Oily Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Works Very WellI am very happy with this product. The only complaint that I have is that since it's a powder, it can get messy when you dip the brush into it. To combat that, I have found that keeping the cylinder up on the brush when dipping it keeps it neater. I pull the cylinder down when I apply the powder to my hair.

Ernie Goodman Mock Trial Tournament
The University of Detroit Mercy School of Law Moot Court Board of Advocates held the tenth annual Ernie Goodman Mock Trial Tournament on November 16 – 20, 2012. This internal competition for UDM Law students is named in honor of Ernie Goodman, a celebrated Detroit civil rights attorney. Mr. Goodman was a champion for civil rights causes during his nearly 70 years in the practice of law. In the 1930s, Mr. Goodman was instrumental in defending labor actions, representing sit-down strikers at Ford Motor Co., and in the 1940s he served as General Counsel for the United Auto Workers. He was a founding member of the Detroit law firm of Goodman, Eden, Millender & Bedrosian, which was the first interracial law firm in the country.
The two teams that advanced to the final round were Issa Karamo / Benjamin Dacin and Michael Glynne / Scott Sierzenga. Professor Gary Maveal and UDM Law alumni Monica Rossi and Jim Waldvogel judged the final round. After a tremendous round by both teams, Michael Glynne and Scott Sierzenga were victorious. Michael Glynne won the Best Oralist award for the competition, and the team of Allissa Wu and Timothy Gindi won the Best Trial Notebook award.
Congratulations to Professor Joon Sung for his administration of this tournament. Professor Sung wrote a very strong competition problem, taught workshops, graded trial notebooks, and worked closely with the Moot Court Board to run a successful tournament. Running an internal trial competition is no small feat, and Prof. Sung did a spectacular job.
Congratulations also to Executive Board member Daniel Bonucchi for his leadership in providing the necessary assistance to Prof. Sung and the student competitors. Dan was assisted closely by Anna Valk and Ivonne Soler, both Associate Directors of the Board. Together, these students did a remarkable job doing everything necessary for the tournament to run smoothly.
