DETROIT (WWJ/AP) – A former top lawyer for the city of Detroit who lost her job for describing a local court as "ghetto" has lost an appeal over her dismissal.
A federal appeals court said Friday that Kathleen Leavey's comments in 2009 were not protected under the First Amendment because they were made as part of her job.
Leavey, who is white, has said she used the word "ghetto" in a conversation with a court employee to describe Detroit's 36th District Court as inefficient and poor in serving the public. The chief judge, who is black, heard about the comment and contacted city hall. The angry call to a deputy mayor led to Leavey's departure.
Talking to the National Law Journal, Leavey said she's "not racist" and that her comment was taken out of context.
According to Leavey, she told an administrator that "people regard this as a ghetto court because of the way they treat people." She explained that she was referring to a poorly managed court. "Judges don't get on the bench until 11 o'clock. People wait in long lines. Files get lost," she said. "It's just badly managed."
The appeals court ruled that the Constitution does not shield certain expressions made during official duties.

Why there's reason to think it's do or die this week on the labor front |
07.11.11 at 2:00 pm ET |
This could be the best week for NFL fans. Or it could be the more frustrating.
According to an ESPN report, the NFL and NFL Players Assocation are expected to reach an agreement that will be ratified during the July 21 league meetings in Atlanta. The report credits sources familar with the state of negotiations and quotes an unidentified owner as saying that there's "no reason to believe it won't get done."
Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and his son Jonathan, have been key players at the negotiating table for the owners while the newly-retired Mike Vrabel, a member of all three Patriots Super Bowl-winning teams, has been at the table for the Players Association.
The Patriots are scheduled to open preseason the weekend of Aug. 11-15 with a home game against Jacksonville. They open the season Monday night Sept. 12 in Miami against the Dolphins.
Talks resumed Monday in New York City, with two key dates on the horizon.
Vacationing U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan has scheduled a meeting between the principles and their lawyers for July 19 in Minneapolis. Boylan adjudicated the court-ordered mediation in April and May and has presided over talks the last six weeks. Two days later, the owners have a meeting scheduled in Atlanta.
The ESPN story incudes some concern from a member of the players' negotiating team, who indicated players feel they have made significant concessions "that have not been reciprocated," and that "we've basically reached the limits of compromise."
The players' source told ESPN that the union agreed to cut rookie compensation in half but won't agree to change the right for rookies to become free agents after four years in the league.
[Click here to listen to Chris Mortensen break down the rookie wage issue on Mut & Merloni on WEEI on Monday.]
He also indicated negotiations Wednesday and Thursday will be the most telling days on whether an agreement indeed will be finalized within the July 21 time frame because "we've basically reached the limits of compromise."
The same source added that the players have agreed to cut rookie compensation in half but won't agree to a deal that does not allow for the rookie class to become free agents at the end of four years.
ESPN reports the lone exception could relate to allowing a fifth year for quarterbacks who were drafted in the first round, with their salary being set at the average of the top-10 players at their position in the fifth year. The player source said that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones proposed that idea but it was rejected fellow owners.
If everything goes well this week, and a deal is in place for July 21 ratification, then it's likely the July 19 court date would simply be a formality to indicate to the court that a deal has been reached and is ready for ratification from both sides.
The rookie wage system has been identified as the most complex issue still to be resolved between the owners and players as they return to the negotiating table this week in New York.
Perhaps the most encouraging news in the last several days is the revelation of "The Transition Rules," a document NFL teams would follow if and when both players and owners ratify a new labor agreement.
According to ESPN, the "Transition Rules" spell out an actual timeline for roster transactions under the July 21 deal scenario, including the start of the new league year during which free agents would become eligible for the open market on July 28.
Approximately three months of NFL business would need to be crammed into a three-week window in order to preserve most of the preseason while allowing for appropriate training camps for all teams to get ready for the season on Sept. 8 in Green Bay. Under the "Transition Rules," teams will be busy trying to fill rosters that must be set at 90 players by approximately Aug. 3, with all training camps would be able to open on time.
If the deal were to be ratified July 21, it would assure that almost all preseason games would be played, according to ESPN sources.
The one game in jeopardy would be the Aug. 7 Hall of Fame matchup between the Bears and Rams in Canton, Ohio.

Memo to Tea Party: The US Government's Budget is Not Like a Family's
Tea party activists and members of Congress have a story they like to tell about the fight over raising the federal debt ceiling. It goes like this: If American families ran their households like the federal government, we'd all be bankrupt. It's a pretty common line. So when the Tea Party Express took to Capitol Hill on Wednesday for a hastily arranged (and sparsely attended) rally to urge Republicans to "hold the line" in the debt ceiling fight, it was no surprise that the family-government comparison was on everyone's lips.
"I really equate it to the family," Cindy Chafian, a mother of five who recently moved to Virginia, told me after speaking at the rally, which also drew tea party luminaries like Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.) and Jim DeMint (S.C.). Chafian, who founded a new organization called the Mommy Lobby, acknowledged that government spending cuts can be painful—just like when a family that has to cut expenses, or when she tells her kids they can't go to the movies because they can't afford it. But over the long run, Chafian said, things work out and get better.
Melissa Ortiz, the founder of a new group, Able Americans, and a proud disabled tea party stalwart, echoed similar sentiments. "If you raise [the debt ceiling], it's just like getting a new credit card," she said, arguing that families have to live within their budgets and the government should too.
The family-to-government comparison is appealing. But in practice, there are huge differences between the federal government and the average nuclear family. "If you want to compare the government to anything, compare it to a business. Typical businesses borrow money and they never pay it off," argues Dean Baker, the codirector of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. Baker says a corporate board would think a CEO was out of his mind if he came to them and announced that while the company lost money, it had paid off its debt. "Maybe the government is more like AT&T than like me and Joey."
Baker explains that if tea partiers want to frame the debt debate in terms of family finances, they'd be better off to compare the debt ceiling issue to having signed an apartment lease. "We're arguing on whether we're going to send in the rent check," he said. "We're deciding whether we're going to pay our bills or screw someone. We're talking about making payments on commitments we've made."
The tea partiers, though, don't seem inclined to view the debate that way, or even to acknowledge that most families have tons of debt they never pay off, namely in the form of big mortgages. They also don't seem willing to acknowledge that sometimes even a family strapped for cash will seek out a revenue solution, like a second job, akin to the government raising taxes. None of the tea partiers I spoke with was willing to entertain the idea of, for example, letting the Bush tax cuts expire. One man, who was volunteering for a tea party candidate running for a Virginia Senate seat and declined to give his name, even expressed deep cynicism that raising taxes would even do any good. Big companies like GE don't pay taxes now, he said, so why would they pay taxes if they went up?
Still, the handful of tea partiers who came to Capitol Hill Wednesday didn't seem quite as willing to drive the economy into a ditch as some media coverage has implied. Chafian, for her part, says, "I'd like to not see [the debt ceiling] raised, but I'm also a realist." Her husband is a 19-year veteran of the US Navy, so she understands the implications of the government running out of money. If the debt negotiations fail, her family may have to cut its spending. Even so, she still wants to see Congress bring spending more in line with revenue, and also to pass the balanced budget amendment, even though she realizes that making it official would be a long, drawn out process.
The tea partiers also weren't entirely united about the performance of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who has been under fire from some tea party groups for not pushing hard enough against raising the debt limit under any terms. "I think he's doing the best he can with what he has to work with," Ortiz says. Just like a family?

This week is Manweek – brought to my attention by Servant of Chaos last week at Coffee Mornings. It's about men talking about their feelings. Not easy – as I am finding now, since I've been thinking about this post since last Friday.
14 thoughts on "Thinking about Manweek"
Hey Tony. Are you going to share this with your dad? I sent a link to one of my posts to my dad and knew it would be tough to talk about face to face. But it felt good… at least for me, hopefully for him too.
Thanks Mark – initially I didn't, but your comment got me thinking and, yes, have hit the forward button!
Tony -
It's hard to write honestly, isn't it? We are so used to hiding behind layer upon layer … it's great that you've made it this far. And I am impressed that you are sending to your Dad!
Tony – what a great post.
You've expressed yourself simply and honestly – I think that makes your story quite powerful and profound.
Glad to get to know you just a little bit more each week. Thanks for sharing.
kristin -
Thanks Gavin, yes, layers – as Shrek says, we're like onions 🙂
Kristin, thanks for your feedback – much appreciated. Look forward to many more coffee mornings…
Tony -
Great growth displayed….step 1: Write your feelings, step 2: SAY THEM ….preferably while looking your Dad in the eyes! 3. TOUCH 4. Repeat with others – it gets easier, not more difficult!
ENJOY your new liberatuon and keep us posted on how your dad responded?
Great initiative, and beautiful post, Tony…
Oh so true, that thing about men finding it quite hard to express their feelings, especially to close friends and family. Definitely apply to the men in my life, as both my dad and long-time boyfriend seem to find it really hard to express anything too personal. Just the other day I was thinking exactly that: you see, I'm starting my own company and I've reached a couple of key milestones in the past couple of weeks. Well, whenever I'm not around, my boyfriend tells our friends how he's proud of me and everything, but he's never telling this to me. ever. Not sure I understand why he finds it so hard… Anyway, I'll make sure to forward him to the link to Manweek!PS1: So did you end up showing the post to your father at all?
PS2: loved Gran Torino, Clint is such an amazing actor / director…
Lovely feedback and thanks for sharing – be sure to check out Gavin @coffeemorings Heaton's post and forward that to your boyfriend too – we're going to collaborate on a book about it all too! See http://www.servantofchaos.com/2009/07/the-perfect-gift-for-a-man—join-us.html for more.
PS1 – yes my father saw it and was pleased by it.
PS2 – great movie, great actor/director, love his work.
Nice post and like the new blog
Cheers -
Hey Tony, I needed a box of tissues to get thru your last post.
As an author, I'm often faced with scenarios where my characters are expressing or thinking about their feelings.
Sometimes, although not often, I'm faced with the fear that one of my close family may mistake one of my fictional rants as my true feeling towards them personally and that this may lead to guilt, suspicion, mistrust…
I wouldn't be true to my writing if I hid my feelings behind cliches and compliments only.
So it should be with our dealings in real life.
Unfortunately, my father died many years ago, and I was never able to truly express my love for him . We each knew we loved one another, but knowing and saying are two very, very different things.Ray.
Thanks Ray – I love how my very brief post has got people thinking about their feelings – that's what #manweek is all about. Did you see Gavin Bollard's post? He picked up my tweet and it got him thinking – his post was wonderful. See http://life-with-aspergers.blogspot.com/2009/07/man-week-fighting-stereotypical-aussie.html
If you would like to participate there is a book being planned where we are all encouraged to write a few more words about what it means to be a man, and communicate our feelings.
Cool. Nice to see these shades on Father's Day. You're brave to post them for the world to see.
lyrics exerpted from "The Living Years" by Mike & The Mechanics
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living yearsCrumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've gotYou say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defenceSay it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eyeSo we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lastsI wasn't there that morning
When my Father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to sayI think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years-
It's a beautiful song and one my uncle just loves because it reminds him of his father (my grandfather) who we lost too young. It's appropriate for the Black Dog Ride too, and particularly the upcoming "Are U OK?" day initiative – see http://bit.ly/9VNKtN
Thanks for sharing this Andrew! I have added it to my "music can help!" page.

I was struck today by the following excerpts regarding Barack Obama's unexpected, and perhaps undeserved (according to Obama himself), Nobel Peace Prize:
AP: President Barack Obama was praised Friday as a worthy Nobel Peace Prize winner although many admirers said the award was based on his potential, not his accomplishments.
Former Finnish president and 2008 Peace Prize winner Martti Ahtisaari: "We do not yet have peace in the Middle East… This time it was very clear that they wanted to encourage Obama to move on these issues…".
Is the prize, in this case, a powerful example of grace and imputation, i.e. treating someone as better than they are, giving a gift that is undeserved?
Or is it a powerful example of law, of burdening a man with something that he cannot live up to, of saddling with crushing expectations?
Perhaps both? What say you, Mockingbirds?

Abstract: | Siegel defends "Limited Intentionism", a theory of what secures the semantic reference of uses of bare demonstratives ("this", "that" and their plurals). According to Limited Intentionism, demonstrative reference is fixed by perceptually anchored intentions on the part of the speaker. |

Visit Mason Bates's website and you're faced with a choice right off the bat: electronica or classical. I imagine this decision is a cinch for some, but what if classical is your cup of tea just as much as electronica is your shot of vodka and Red Bull? Looks like your mouse is going to get a workout toggling between pages, but it's worth the effort to see how one genre informs the other. On the classical page you'll find an acoustic mashup of Beethoven's 9th, and along with the excerpt of the Ludwig-laden Ode are a couple more MP3s to checkout. Navigate over to the electronica portion of the site and be greeted by a less introspective, slightly more pimped-out photo of Bates in a sporty red windbreaker. Here the MP3s showcase intricately constructed tracks with a slight jazz lounge vibe. The track "No Masterpiece" actually sounds more like classic Michael Torke from his "color music" days, rather than something you'd here spinning in a club. But no matter, just enjoy the free samples.

Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) is seen by Philips as the logical successor to the tape cassette it invented 30 years ago. Also just launched is Sony's MiniDisc (MD), a tiny CD wrapped in a protective cartridge smaller than a computer diskette. A Sony MD car player is in the shops now, while prospective car-borne DCC buyers, won over by Philips's mega-spend on television advertising for the new cassette, will have to wait another three months. Prerecorded DCC tapes and MiniDiscs are already stocked at major record stores.
Tape cassettes have held sway in car players since Philips saw off the continuous-play cartridge more than 20 years ago. Worldwide annual sales of prerecorded cassettes peaked a few years ago at 640 million, predominantly bought for use in cars or personal stereos. The cassette's convenience is what Philips seeks to preserve in the DCC format as conventional cassette sales decline under critical aural comparison with CD.
CDs enjoy a certain vogue in cars where scanning glitches have been ironed out. Prices have tumbled to pounds 300 for a first-class CD tuner, no more than the cost of a top-flight radio cassette player. CDs have penetrated car-makers' standard-equipment lists: top models from Ford and Vauxhall, for example, sport disc machines; others have them as options.
But CDs are not cheap, cannot - yet - be recorded, and too easily suffer handling damage, while being none too easy to juggle in a car. If there is one thing that Philips and Sony agree on, it is that CDs will not assume the global mass-market status of compact cassettes.
Philips posited that the logical successor should be digital but cosily familiar. Hence DCC is tape, the cassette is the same size although a protective door covers the innards, and it is recordable on a domestic digital player (already on the market) direct from CD. Even smarter, DCC decks play all your old tapes, so there is a strong loyalty built in.
Sony started with a cleaner sheet, developed a means to cram as much digital data on to a tiny disc as is on a conventional CD (DCC needs similar compression), and wrapped it in a protective jacket. What is more, Sony developed a recordable MiniDisc using magneto-optical properties discovered about a hundred years ago. Squeezing MD into a car audio unit was no problem and, just in case rough roads do jiggle the laser, there is a four-megabyte memory - the music plays on while the scanner picks up where it broke off.
For car users, MD has many conveniences. The packs take up little space and are fully protected from scratching, dirt and sticky fingers. An autochanger player, when it leaves the drawing-board, will not be much bigger than a box of After Eights, easily fitted in the glovebox or under a seat. Access to, and repeat of, favourite tracks is rapid. DCC still suffers from mechanical winding sloth. Both formats have the added fun of album, artist and track title displays, an extra trick up the digital sleeve.
Auditions of both formats - DCC on a domestic unit and MiniDisc on the road - reveal the tremendous clarity, precision and dynamism that, hitherto, were the province of CD alone. However, MD has yet to prove to keen ears that it has the firmest grasp on stereo imaging.
Even more off-putting to less sensitive ears are the launch prices. Sony's MDX-U1 RDS car unit costs pounds 850, before adding competent amplifiers and speakers - double the cost of a comparable CD tuner. The Philips car machines will launch at prices from pounds 350 and include amplification. Prerecorded tapes and MiniDiscs cost about the same as full-price CDs - around pounds 13. Blank DCC tapes are about 10 per cent dearer than best-quality metal cassettes, but recordable MiniDiscs (maximum 74 minutes) are a telling pounds 9.
Prices may tumble and car- makers are already goggling at the potential for new digital audio equipment fitted at the factory. Right now you should, perhaps, consider your purse and review in a kinder light the familiar, if just a little imperfect, sounds of your very economical radio-cassette player.

Interstellar in the park, streets, and steeps.
The Gnu Forest Space Case EC2 BTX Snowboard not only shreds the entire mountain with a fun, freestyle-specific feel, but it does so in a harmonious, asymmetric fashion. Gnu weirdo, Forest Bailey, rocks this asymmetric twin for his far-out freestyle riding, but it caters to anyone looking for a fun, poppy deck with astounding balance and edge hold.
The Forest Space Case offers four asymmetric differences that'll have you riding more balanced than ever before. Normally the board's heel and toeside edges have the same contact length, i.e. the edge length that bites into the snow. However, this board has a shorter heelside contact edge to allow for easier heelside turns. Combined with its deeper heelside sidecut (shorter radius) and softer heelside flex, you'll be able to crank heelside turns with unprecedented precision. Add in asymmetric tip and tail shapes and you have one radical board that works with your body for easier turning.
An EC2 BTX profile caters to all-mountain freestyle riders looking for the fun, playful feel of Gnu's original banana rocker (BTX) with just a bit more bite and responsiveness. Basically, there's a rocker between the feet, which allows for enhanced float in powder and a buttery, jib-friendly feel. Starting just before the inserts, the board offers elliptical camber that runs to the contacts. Having these camber zones underfoot adds response when carving at high speeds, plus it enhances snap off big kickers and freestyle features.
Under the hood of this asymmetric freestyle board, you'll find a Pickle Barrel Blend of incredibly lightweight paulownia and strong, snappy aspen wood. Reinforced Space Bars along the center combat heavy abuse from slamming onto rails, jibs, and park features. Soaking up bumps, uneven terrain and sketchy landings, the board's Liquid Crystal Polymer fibers are incredibly strong, effectively smoothing out the board's ride while delivering an extra dose of pop. Add in mellow Mini Magne-Traction edges and you have an all-terrain freestyle deck that can carve, jump, and jib with the best of 'em.
- Asymmetric, mid-flexing board for freestyle fun in the park and out
- Profile delivers float in pow and easy jibbing, also tons of response
- Blend of lightweight, snappy woods in core provide strength and pop
- Asymmetirc shape lets you to rail out precise carves with control
- Magne-traction edges locks into ice-ridden, hardpacked snow
- Triax and biax fiberglass ensures a healthy blend of flex and response
- Sintered base keeps you flying past your friends, even in slow spots
- Gnu snowboards are handbuilt here in the USA
- Item #GNU003O

If anyone is still trying to identify the favorite to win in Rome, consider Rafael Nadal's remarks after beating Tomas Berdych 6-4, 7-5 in the quarterfinals on Friday (via the tournament website):
"I played one of my best match on clay against a difficult opponent," said Nadal. "It was a big match and one of the higher quality matches this year because the level of the opponent is high. He plays with big confidence and I played under pressure all the time under the match and my chances on the return are few and far between and so I have to be focused. I did something fantastic and I went inside with my forehand and my movements were fantastic and yesterday I started to feel very well. I hit a few fantastic shots and this kind of shot comes with the confidence."
Wow, I don't think I've ever heard Rafa gush like this before. It certainly bodes well for him – and not so much for David Ferrer, his semifinal opponent and the man he beat in last month's Barcelona final.
Roger Federer made light work of Andreas Seppi in his Friday night quarterfinal. Seppi was coming off three consecutive three-set wins, including an epic battle on Thursday vs. Stan Wawrinka that went three tie break sets. Roger, also coming off three sets vs. Juan Carlos Ferrero, looked sharp and focused on getting off the court fast. He won the match in 54 minutes, making me think he must actually be looking forward to playing Novak Djokovic in the semis. Either he wants some revenge, or has simply brushed off their last, painful, meeting at the US Open.
Djokovic has played well in Rome, especially in the second set of his quarterfinal vs. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga:
"In the second set I played one of the best sets on clay this year," he said (via CNN) "This is encouraging for the challenges ahead. With Roland Garros coming, I'm playing and feeling better in every match."
Nole should be the fresher of the two men tomorrow, considering Roger's feats in Madrid. But while Nole's revving up his mojo, Roger already has his confidence set on autopilot. Looking at their head-to-head on the surface is not too helpful in predicting a winner. Of the twenty-four times they've met across the net, only four of those matches were played on clay. Roger holds the edge, 3-1, including that notable win at Roland Garros last year, but Nole's single victory was in the Foro Italico. What I'm trying to say: This is going to be a close one.
I'm sure this is more of fan's mindset than a pro's, but I wonder if it will come down to who really wants to test out Rafa before Roland Garros. Novak and Roger are playing the night match, so they'll know who they will face in the final. Intriguing set up, either way.

There are still some intriguing matches left on the women's side as well. Serena Williams will face Li Na and Maria Sharapova will play Angelique Kerber in the semis. Maria took out Venus Williams in straight sets on Friday, and the possibility of her facing Serena in the finals in mouthwatering. But don't discount the lefty Kerber, who took out Kvitova in the quarters and will be making her top 10 debut on Monday. Kerber's won 6 out of her last 10 matches vs. top 10 players (via the WTA), including a win over Sharapova this year in Paris.
Speaking of top 10 players, Maria Sharapova had some nice words for about Venus Williams after their match (via the tournament website):
Q: Maria what did think of Venus and do you think she will be able to get to the top again,
Sharapova: No doubt. Its good to see a player like her back and playing and being healthy and she is a great player and competitive and you have to be ready for that … no matter how long she has been out of the game and so …. she is experienced enough to know what she needs to come back
. . .and some not so diplomatic words about her current rival, No. 1 player Victoria Azarenka, who pulled out of the tournament before the third round this week, citing a shoulder injury. Vika complained afterwards that the WTA's rules were endangering her health. I wonder if Maria actually rolled her eyes when asked about it in her press conference.
Q: Azarenka yesterday said earlier on Twitter that players should have more right because she complained about WTA rules that impose the players to play in a tournament they .. she retired yesterday about her shoulder injury and what do you think about that? Are you with her.
Sharapova : First of all she is probably injured more than any other player and to be number 1 in the world and be able to play a full schedule. I think last year she had more retirements that anyone but played a full schedule and after 2 days retirement you would see her practicing and so its tough to know what her state is and what she is feeling. Personally, if I am injured however big or small the fine is, the body is no support for me and if this is the tournament where you have to participate or get zero points but to be honest I don't really care about that because but for me the health is the most important thing….if I am healthy then I can go on court and beat someone and not go and save whatever money and I pay the fine.
Speaking of injury, Andy Murray told reporters after his loss to Gasquet on Thursday that he's been suffering from a lower back injury since December, perhaps explaining some of his recent on court angst.

Continuation comes from a very interesting period in the development of the Sun Ra Arkestra. The band had recently moved to New York City, and recorded this album; one of the rarest El Saturn LPs. It is reissued here with a second disc of associated material recorded in March of 1963. Many of Sun Ra's regulars are here, including John Gilmore and Pat Patrick on saxophones and Ronnie Boykins on bass. The sound of the group is more open ended and harsher than on previous LP's seemingly leading up to the Heliocentric Worlds albums they cut for ESP in 1965 which resulted in some of their most avant-garde work. Many of the performances are uncharacteristically short, with sharp blasts of percussion and ringing piano playing across guttural saxophone and haunting flute. "Continuation to Jupiter Festival" continues Ra's penchant for making long LP length improvisations to close albums. Like on the albums Atlantis and The Magic City, the band ebbs and flows in furious fashion. Along with those Ra albums, the liner notes mention Angels Speak of Love as a contemporaneous album, and that makes sense because both of the sessions really bring rhythm to the forefront. The second disc continues the theme, drawing from the starkly edged and transitional nature of the music. Continuation - Corbett Vs. Dempsey

Video Interview of Tom Windle's debut
University of Minnesota pitcher, now alum Tom Windle made his professional debut on Tuesday, June 25th with the Great Lakes Loons with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization.
Windle, who was selected in the second round of the Major League Baseball draft and 56th overall, came in relief in his professional debut. First round pick Chris Anderson started and went two innings, allowed one hit and struck out five. Windle was the second pitcher into the game. He also pitched two innings, did not allow a hit, walked one and struck out two.
"I saw two innings of work from each guy," Loons manager Razor Shines said. "We really liked what we saw. They were electric and both kids have good arms. Anderson really let the ball fly. Tom (Windle) looks like he knows how to pitch and he had some good off-speed stuff. When the Dodgers send us their number one, two and three (Brandon Dixon) guys out of the June draft, it tells you what they think about Midland."
Windle, a left-handed pitcher out of Maple Grove, Minn., was Minnesota's Friday starter the entire 2013 season. A first-team All-Big Ten selection, Windle led the team in innings pitched (92.2) and strikeouts (86), with a 6-4 record and a 2.14 ERA. Windle threw his first career no-hitter earlier this season against Western Illinois (3/8) and has a total of four complete games on the season. His no hitter was the first time a complete-game no hitter was thrown by a Golden Gopher since 1931. He led the Big Ten in strikeouts (all games) and opposing batting average, having held opponents to a .203 average. Despite missing a start against Michigan State and a shortened game against Ohio State due to weather, Windle still established 49 strikeouts against league opponents, which ranked second in the Big Ten. Named to the Golden Spikes Watch List, Windle was named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Week twice this past season.
"I didn't feel much pressure," Windle said. "Chris went out there and set the tone. It got me excited to go out there and do my thing. It was exciting to be in the stadium. To be on the field and in the stadium in front of this crowd, they were in the game. It just kind of gets you going a little more."

Bill Hamon (Parsons Publishing House)
Bill Hamon's latest book, 70 Reasons for Speaking in Tongues, offers Christendom an enlightened, comprehensive and dynamic understanding of the varied spiritual benefits of believing, receiving, activating and using the gift of speaking in tongues as evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Hamon's solid biblical teaching unveils not only deeper layers of understanding the gift of speaking in tongues, but also the Holy Spirit as a God's gift to us—as well as both the fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. Hamon also establishes faith and love as vital elements of a Spirit-filled lifestyle, rather than these being mere principles for living.
The bishop likens the Holy Spirit to a power-producing plant from which Christians are supernaturally enabled to bear the fruit of the Spirit and operate in the gifts of the Spirit. Using this analogy, he correlates embracing our personal spirit language with unlocking a never-ending reservoir of God's Holy Spirit and power.
This transcendent read is for every believer seeking to comprehend how an active spirit language will fill him or her with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Through his thorough understanding of tongues, Hamon establishes a clear bottom line: that only through being filled with the Holy Spirit and operating in all of His manifestations can the body of Christ be empowered to carry out the works of Christ and be truly unified.
Draw closer to God. Experience the presence of the Holy Spirit every month as you read Charisma magazine. Sign up now to get Charisma for as low as $1 per issue.

6Project Description
I am looking to improve the conversion rate of my affiliate advertising website by introducing a landing page, and a squeeze page.
Landing Page:
When a visitor enters the site they will be asked to choose their country. Any visitors from the UK will the be forwarded to our .[url removed, login to view] domain, which will have specific offers for British users. I think something similar to this, but without as many flags, may work well:
[url removed, login to view]
Visitors from all other countries will continue onto the .com domain. Is there any way to do this without a landing page - e.g. can visitors automatically be forwarded if they have a UK IP address? Also, what will the SEO effect be? I am currently top of google for a number of keywords and would not want my ranking effected.
Squeeze Page:
I am also looking to introduce a squeeze page to my website. In order to increase conversions I want to cut out the lengthy text, and instead have an auto play video. The purpose of the squeeze page will be to obtain email addresses and names, and in return allow the user to download a free ebook. Can we link this in with CPAlead, and make a user answer a survey before downloading the ebook?
When bidding please send me a private message with examples of previous landing/squeeze pages you have created.

FirstLink went through a full logo/corporate id design process for Botica Del Sol. We went through the multiple steps we take when we develop branding for a company and the following logo is the result for Botica Del Sol.
Whenever we go through a full process of logo/branding development, many different ideas are generated and refined until we reach final imagery that satisfied all parties involved. Along the way many ideas are cast aside as we go through the design process. The following graphic shows many of the different ideas we went through on the road to choosing a final logo for Botica Del Sol.

You all must be knowing, I am a fan of jQuery. The kind of neat and clean code and the power provided by jQuery at Client side scripting is unmatchable.
List Controls are one of the most used form controls. And we all know that manipulating these controls from JavaScript has always been a tough task.
In this post, I'll be discussing about accessing List controls and manipulating it with the help of jQuery. Hope you all like it and will be able to apply with other controls as well.
Let's discuss it for CheckBoxList. I have a checkbox list and for demonstration also, I have created a sample. For this sample, I have created a dictionary with few Items and set it as a datasource of CheckboxList as:
Dictionary dictItems = new Dictionary(); dictItems.Add(1, "Tea"); dictItems.Add(2, "Coffee"); dictItems.Add(3, "Lemon Tea"); dictItems.Add(4, "Expresso"); dictItems.Add(5, "Cappuccino"); chkItems.DataSource = dictItems; chkItems.DataTextField = "Value"; chkItems.DataValueField = "Key"; chkItems.DataBind();
Let's also have a look at the aspx code.

 <asp:checkboxlist ID="chkItems" runat="server"></asp:checkboxlist>

Here you can see that I have put the CheckboxList in a div whose Id is divcheckboxList.
This div will be very helpful while finding the Items in CheckboxList because as you know the narrow search criteria we will pass to the jQuery, it will be as much faster.
Now let's have a look at the rendered code:

 <input id="chkItems_0" type="checkbox" name="chkItems$0" /> Tea

 <input id="chkItems_1" type="checkbox" name="chkItems$1" /> Coffee

 <input id="chkItems_2" type="checkbox" name="chkItems$2" /> Lemon Tea

 <input id="chkItems_3" type="checkbox" name="chkItems$3" /> Expresso

 <input id="chkItems_4" type="checkbox" name="chkItems$4" /> Cappuccino

Now we'll see some most important operations with the control using jQuery.
//This will return the array of all the checkboxes inside the div divcheckboxList $('#divcheckboxList').find('input:checkbox')
//This will return the array of all the checkboxes inside the div divcheckboxList $('#divcheckboxList').find('input:checkbox:checked')
//This finds all the checkbox in the div and adds the //checked attribute to each checkbox which shows every checkbox as checked $($('#divcheckboxList').find('input:checkbox')).attr('checked', true);
//Find all checkBoxes and deselect it by removing checked //attribute to each checkbox (in the div divcheckboxList) $('#divcheckboxList').find('input:checkbox:checked').removeAttr('checked');
//Find all checkBoxes and attach a Click function (in the div divcheckboxList) $('#divcheckboxList').find('input:checkbox').click(function() { showvalue(this); }); }
//Find all the checkBoxes and remove the attached Click function //(in the div divcheckboxList) $('#divcheckboxList').find('input:checkbox').unbind('click');
//Find all the selected checkbox and show the text of the checkbox var selectedCheckBoxes = $('#divcheckboxList').find ('input:checkbox:checked').each(function () { alert($(this).siblings('label').text()); });
As you see in the above code, you might get confused. But if you see the rendered code, you will get to know that every Checkbox is rendered as two controls, one Checkbox input control and another label which holds the text of Checkbox. That's why to get the text of Checkbox, I had to find the sibling label of the checkbox.
The same will also work for RadioButtonList.
Note: Here I have presented a way to work with List controls and demonstrated it using jQuery. There could be many more ways to do the same with the help of jQuery and JavaScript.
Hope it will help the developers who are new to jQuery.

Ruby Begonia and the High- Heeled Sneakers: The Poem!
A Magical Tale of Trickery...
Monday, August 24, 2009
Ruby Begonia is on her way...
Derrick Chow has come up with the perfect art to accompany the story.
It is so wonderful to see the story come to life!
Monday, June 29, 2009
A growing garden is the most peaceful thing to watch and ponder. It's an inspiration to create something and watch it prosper. I just received the illustration sketches for Ruby Begonia and the High Heeled Sneakers and I get the same wonderful feeling looking at those. It's a reality, it's going to happen. Looking at images that were created by my imagination is the most incredible thing I have ever felt.
Monday, June 1, 2009
Well, it sure feels like the summer has begun.
Taking some time out to go and
"smell the roses" is imperative.
I took a few p
hotos around CT, at the White Flower Farm in Morris and
Jane E. Pierce Park in Southbury. I
remember in around, of, oh... February or March just dying to see green and color. I
have been so happy to capture the colors and textures this season. Next year, when it's dead and cold outside, I can look at the pictures and remember just how much everything comes to life in the spring.
Here are a few, enjoy!

Time to Get Away
A trip to some place different. I can reflect on thoughts already had and perhaps spark a few that have not come to me yet. Relaxation is the best way to

A Story for Everyone Rushing About...
A young man was walking down a winding road. The road seemed to be narrowing with every forward step he took. With growing concern about his selected path and destination, he quickened his steps.
While speeding his way down the crooked thoroughfare, he noticed a small child watching him from behind a tree. The child smiled at him, but the young man continued to pursue his course with fervor.
Panting hard and feeling anxious about the ever shrinking road ahead, he paused to rest. There was the child, still watching him with interest. The road continued to grow smaller and smaller, though never seeming to end. He stopped once again, and again, there was the child. The young man stepped off the path and walked up to the small child. The child looked up at him quizzically and asked, "What's the hurry?" The young man considered this question for a moment.
He responded, "I'm worried about the pathway ending"
"So then," said the child, "What's the hurry?"

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
Ford Motor Co. is recalling nearly 435,000 cars and SUVs to fix rusting frame parts or faulty seats.
The biggest of the two recalls covers nearly 386,000 Ford Escapes from the 2001 through 2004 model years. Ford says the subframes can rust, allowing a control arm to separate and hamper steering control. Ford is aware of one crash but no injuries linked to the problem.
The SUVs were originally sold or registered in 20 states, including Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C., where salt is used to clear snow and ice from roads.
The second recall covers 49,000 Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Escape and C-MAX vehicles from 2013 and 2014. Dealers will replace seat back frames that weren't welded properly.

"[Fortunately for Kent, this tempest in a Petri dish has since been squashed, but it was Bradley's other comments that are echoing in Major League Baseball's executive suites. He said,] Me being an African American is the most important thing to me – more important than baseball, White people never want to see race – with anything. But there's race involved in baseball. That's why there's less than 9 percent African American representation in the game. ... I'm one of the few African Americans that starts here."
Jackie Robinson

If Turkish electors are not happy with our practices they will show this in the next elections."Bagis said Turkish government had no objection to the protestors who have environmental concerns but had had no tolerance for the terrorist groups using violence.Stating that the terrorist group which perpetrated a suicide attack on the US Embassy in Ankara, known as Revolutionary People's Liberation Party–Front (DHKP-C) attended the demonstrations to abuse, Bagis said "If an Al-Qaeda banner was hung over on the Statute of Liberty how would New York Times react?""It is interesting to have such incidents in Turkey when the outlawed terror organization PKK laid down arms and the economic and development figures are at best levels," said Bagis. " Interest lobby and several financial institutions are disturbed by the growth and development in Turkey."Bagis also said Turkey would strengthen the EU and the union would be a global peace project with Turkey's full membership to the EU.Bagis criticized the Greek Cypriot administration for preventing Turkey's EU membership negotiations saying "Turkey was vitally important for the EU in terms of EU's energy policies."

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Francesco Selvaggio, Wilderness Travel's Sicilian Trip Leader Extraordinaire. Francesco held a degree in architecture with a concentration on historic restoration, and he loved to say that every single building in Sicily had a story to tell. He conveyed his knowledge and passion with infectious enthusiasm, to the endless delight of our trip members. Francesco also loved to share his knowledge of Sicily's remarkable cuisine and fine wines, and was famous for his sumptuous and beautifully sited picnics.

Altered mousetraps
These are mousetraps that I altered for a swap. They were a challenge but a lot of fun! I chose to do mine in a shabby chic style. I used Tim Holtz distress inks, crackle paint & distress stains. I added lace, pearls, buttons & Prima flowers. You can get the mousetraps for cheap, I got these at Big Lots I think it was $2 for 4. I am going to make the other 2 with magnets on the back & put paper in the trap part for lists & reminders.

Throughout history music has been a part of societies that were considered advanced, and those that were seen as more primitive. It has been used to express joy and sorrow, for celebration and ceremonies, and also as a means of healing and relaxation. Music has also influenced generations of people and helped shape the behavior and thoughts of generations. This can clearly be seen in more modern times, like the 60s and the 70s. In schools, music can have an all around positive impact on students in both their personal lives and in their studies. It can help them with their focus, and also help keep them occupied and away from negative influences, such as drugs or crime. As a result, music and music teachers are an important part of education and the continued appreciation of music.
History of Music/ Music Eras
Music history can be divided into different periods, or eras. These eras include the Baroque era, which spans 1600 to 1750, the Classical era from 1750 to 1825, the Romantic era from 1825 to 1900, and the Modern Era, which began in the 1900 and continues today. Music periods can expand even further before the Baroque period to include the Renaissance 1450 to 1600 and even further back to 500 B.C. It is believed that the word music comes from the nine goddesses of science and art, known as the Muses. Teaching the history of music, including its different eras, is an important part of building music appreciation.

Resources for Choir
A choir consists of a group of singers who sing together. Choirs can be found in several venues, such as churches or schools. Some seasoned choirs sing with popular musicians or hold performances in concert halls or theaters across the country. In some cases, they may even perform in various locations around the world. Teachers and directors of choir groups must bring the right group of singers together and teach them to use their voices together for maximum effect. Helpful resources for choir teachers includes techniques for training and rehearsing, and sheet music.

Resources for Band Teachers
Bands, particularly marching bands, are a familiar staple of high schools and colleges. Bands from different universities or schools often compete against one another and may put on an elaborate show that highlights their creativity and skill with their instruments. Bands can be found in parades and sports events such as football games. Common instruments found in band include drums, the trombone, flute, tuba, and the clarinet. A band teacher may teach college or high school band, or he or she may also go outside of the school system to instruct professional other types of bands. Professional bands may include jazz bands or concert bands.

Resources for Music Teachers
A music teacher is a general term for teachers who teach music to school children from kindergarten to high school. Music teachers typically teach music theory, teaching students how to read music, and also educating them on its history. The extent of what a music teacher teaches her class depends on a number of specific factors. This includes the ages of the students, their skill level, and the type of instrument that is being taught. Some music teachers are private and teach outside of the school, either in a studio or from their home. Private music teachers may specialize in anything from voice lessons to piano lessons. In some places, the term music teacher may include teaching band or choir.

Famous Musicians
Just as music shaped and defined different periods of time, there were also musicians who were trailblazers in each of these eras. These creative geniuses composed music scores and lyrics that have withstood time and changes in musical preference, to become the benchmark of perfection. Famous musicians also altered the course the industry by influencing younger generations to emulate their style and expand upon it. While some of these musicians have gone on to become well-recognized names, there are other musicians who never received the same accolades as others.

I have been thinking about the reasons I liked the hobbit when I was a child. One reason is the very cool maps of Middle Earth. I enjoyed following the character's travels along these maps while reading the story. I remember doing this with Lord of the Rings also.
The other thing that I really liked as a kid were hidden things that could only be discovered by being in the right place at the right time. An example is the Indiana Jones film Raiders of the Lost Ark. Indiana had to take a staff with some sort of crystal attached to the top of it to a certain place at a certain time. Light from sun passed through the crystal and pointed the way to the ark. For some reason, I love that stuff!
Here is an animation of the map with moon runes. I loved this part of the book because the moon letters also point to another hidden object which comes at the end of the Hobbit. The moon runes read:
"Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks and the setting sun with the last light of Durin's day will shine upon the keyhole."
Bilbo figures this one out when he sees a bird (thrush) knocking a small shell onto a rock. The light from the sun then illuminates a keyhole on the rock face. The key to open the door actually came with the map from the beginning of our story so the whole thing comes full circle.
If you don't remember these events from The Hobbit you should read it again. It is a very fun and enjoyable read...
