Judge In South Carolina Poised To Dismiss Righthaven Suit There As Well
from the down-goes-another-one dept
Defendant contests Plaintiff's ownership of the disputed copyright and argues the case should be dismissed for lack of standing. Plaintiff's ownership of its assigned copyrights has been contested in Nevada and Colorado. Judges in Nevada have dismissed complaints for lack of standing and issued orders to show cause why these cases should not be dismissed for lack of standing. The copyright assignments in the Nevada cases are governed by a Strategic Alliance Agreement between Righthaven LLC and Stephens Media LLC which appears to be very similar to the Copyright Alliance Agreement (the "CAA"), including its Schedule 1 – Terms and Conditions, between Plaintiff and MediaNews Group, Inc. ("MediaNews") that Defendant asserts governs the copyright assignment at issue in this case.* Moreover, the CAA appears to support Defendant's claim that Plaintiff does not have standing to sue for copyright infringement. Specifically, the CAA appears to qualify any copyright assignments it governs such that Plaintiff is left only with a bare right to sue and does not own any exclusive rights in the copyright, as would be required for Plaintiff to have standing to allege an infringement claim on those copyrights. See Silvers v. Sony Pictures Entm't, Inc., 402 F.3d 881 (9th Cir. 2005) (holding that an assignee who held an accrued claim for copyright infringement, but who had no legal or beneficial interest in the underlying copyright itself, could not institute a cause of action for infringement); Eden Toys, Inc. v. Florelee Undergarment Co., 697 F.2d 27 (2d Cir. 1982) (holding that one who owns no exclusive right in a copyright may not sue for infringement; only the owner of an exclusive right under a copyright may bring suit).I'm assuming that this is really just more guidance to Righthaven competitors from a judge who recognizes Righthaven's "genuine" legal arguments, right Steve?
Although Plaintiff argues substantive analysis of the assignment must await discovery, the Court believes this issue should be addressed because it goes to Plaintiff's standing to bring a copyright infringement claim at all. Thus, in the interest of judicial economy, the Court issues this Order to Show Cause why the case should not be dismissed for Plaintiff's lack of ownership of any exclusive rights in the copyright and, therefore, lack of standing to sue.

LAS VEGAS — Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis likely had spots on next year's U.S. National Team roster locked up before Thursday night. And if there was any doubt, the two former No. 1 picks likely removed it after their performance in the USA Basketball Showcase, a 128-106 victory for Irving's White Team.
Irving got out in transition and sliced through the blue defense to the tune of a game-high 23 points (on just eight shots) and seven assists. He was the best player on the floor and made it clear that he's not only a future National Team member but a star to watch in the upcoming NBA season.
"It's a pick-and-roll league," Damian Lillard said afterward, "and he's really good at breaking guys down one-on-one. So if he has a pick-and-roll, a lot of times he has a big man in front of him and can take advantage of situations. When he gets that screen and has that big man on an island, he's going to get around him and he can finish at the rim. When you have that type of handle and you can finish at the rim, that's deadly."
"I wanted to separate myself, somehow, from this group," Irving said, "and show what I can bring to the team for next year."
Playing alongside some other talented bigs, Davis looked like more of a stretch four on Thursday, showing off his ability to step outside and knock down jump shots. That might not be the role he plays with the National Team going forward, but he led the Blue Team with 22 points and seven rebounds. And after earning a gold medal as the 12th man on last year's Olympic Team, he looks ready to take on a larger role for USA Basketball.
"As good as he was last year," head coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the game, "he's just stepped it up another couple of levels. And that was exciting to see. He got better throughout the week and put on a heck of a performance tonight."
This was not a great environment to evaluate anybody's readiness for international basketball. The two teams played with the international 3-point line and with FIBA officials, but not in a hostile environment or against international defenses. The pace was ridiculously fast (more than 100 possessions each in 48 minutes), with no savvy international guards stopping the U.S. fast breaks with timely fouls. Playing Spain in Madrid for the World Cup gold medal next summer would be an entirely different experience.
So Krzyzewski and USA Basketball managing director Jerry Colangelo won't be putting extra emphasis on these 48 minutes when determining who will be in their pool of players for the next three years. In fact, what may be more important is what these young players learn from this week and bring to their NBA teams in the fall.
"This was just another day in the life of our group," Colangelo said. "We're going to have a lot of time to evaluate the entire week, the game included. And we're going to be watching each and every one them during the course of the season, because we have a lot of time on our side before we go forward."
Still, in addition to Irving and Davis, there were a few players who likely enhanced their stock on Thursday, most of them on the winning White Team. Kenneth Faried and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist used their endless energy to put up solid numbers in minimal minutes. Jrue Holiday filled the boxscore with 12 points, seven rebounds and five assists. And Mike Conley and Ty Lawson proved to be a cohesive point-guard combo on the White Team's second unit.
For the Blue Team, Harrison Barnes showed that he's got the skills to be a small-ball (or international) four man, while Greg Monroe was solid inside with an ability to play off talented ball-handlers.
All of the above will certainly get serious consideration when Colangelo and Krzyzewski create a new pool of 25-28 players in January. From that pool, teams for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics will be selected, though names can always be added or removed from the list. The pool will be made up of players that participated in this week's camp, USA Basketball veterans, and a few other players who couldn't participate this week.
"It's a very fluid pool," Colangelo said. "Guys are going to keep developing."
The experience they gained this week will surely help them do that.

The 2009 White House Holiday Decorations … So Far
We saw the 2009 White House Christmas tree when it was hand-selected from a West Virginian farm. Last week the White House unveiled the decorated tree and the first of this season's White House holiday decor.
The Obamas are reusing ornaments from previous administrations and sent them to 60 local community groups throughout the country. The groups were asked to decorate the ornaments by referencing a favorite local landmark and then send them back to be displayed at the White House. Do you like the decorations so far? We can't wait to see what designer Simon Doonan adds to the mix.

Philadelphia merchant John Wanamaker's quip that half of all advertising spending is wasted (but no one knows which half) may contain more truth than he realized. And no more so than in today's digitally enhanced commerce.
One analysis puts the actual wasted portion at roughly a third of the total annual advertising spending in the United States, or about $112 billion. What's more, while digital channels allow marketers to target consumers more accurately than ever, they also pose threats to firms that fail to cultivate a deep understanding of the needs and behaviors of target customer groups. One study puts the amount of wasted digital marketing spending caused by fraudulent Internet bots pretending to be consumer traffic at $11.6 billion in 2014. In this case, because advertisers don't really understand their customers, they end up paying for "eyeballs" that aren't really there.
More than ever, marketers need to gain greater control over how and where they spend each advertising dollar. However, little evidence exists that companies are overly concerned about marketing ROI.
Accenture believes just-in-time (JIT) marketing can drive out much of this waste by creating tangible links with real customers who are ready and able to buy. The concepts underpinning this approach are adapted from the Japanese manufacturing techniques that now protect many factories from the scourges of inventory and waste.
First, JIT marketers should apply Kanban methods, which ensure that the creation of new marketing is always calibrated to meet actual marketing needs. Second, they should cultivate a mindset of Kaizen, in which the entire organization is continuously improving processes and practices to eliminate waste and enhance quality. And, finally, they should assure the "total quality" of each and every output. These concepts may seem straight-forward, but making them work on a daily basis can be challenging.
In practice, JIT marketing means that companies spend only what's needed, when it's needed, introducing a customized message or offer to target consumers in ways that can quickly close a sale. It does away with the expensive "inventories" of surplus effort that mass marketing creates, replacing advertising clutter and promotional waste with effective messages attuned to the needs of interested people exactly when they are in the buying mood. JIT marketing targets distinctive customer segments whose interests span many product categories. It then enlists cross-functional teams of "creatives"—programmers, data scientists and quality assurance specialists—who work together to cut costs and improve the effectiveness of marketing investments.
But shifting your marketing organization to this "lean thinking" mindset isn't easy, as companies learned a few decades back when Toyota introduced the concept of JIT manufacturing. While many Western companies attempted to replicate Toyota's success with lean manufacturing, only a few did so effectively. The problem? Most focused on the most visible elements of JIT without understanding its underlying philosophy.
The same thing could happen with JIT marketing, which is why marketing leaders should keep the following ideas in mind.
One example of this kind of engagement is Amazon's purchase of Goodreads, a social network for avid readers. The acquisition gives Amazon, the world's largest bookseller, a knowledgeable, disinterested source of recommendations that it can integrate with its powerful personalized recommendation algorithms to provide shoppers with a customized list of books they could be legitimately interested in buying.
A leading drugstore chain wanted to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its promotions by offering its marketers easier and more timely access to detailed market insights. The information enabled staffers to fine-tune promotions, drive greater sales within existing customer segments and even create useful new micro-segments. This data-sharing plan encouraged experimentation, and teams could rapidly adjust promotions to get the most out of every marketing dollar they spent. In addition to boosting sales, the program ultimately delivered significant marketing efficiency gains.

If I can access my bank account and manage my finances online, why can't I take similar ownership of my healthcare?
For today's digitally empowered consumers, it's a fair question. And in fact, more than 80 percent of the over 9,000 adults polled by Accenture in a recent nine-nation survey affirmed that they would like to be able to access their medical records online.
An overwhelming majority also favored more self-management. Fully 82 percent said they would value the ability to book, change or cancel appointments online, for example. Three-quarters (76 percent) wanted to receive electronic reminders about preventive or follow-up care. More than 70 percent felt they should be able to update their own electronic health records with such important information as the side effects experienced with different medicines. And 76 percent of respondents to our global survey said they should have full access to their electronic health records.
But right now, few consumers enjoy such services. Slightly less than a quarter of adults in our nine survey countries have electronic access to their medical records, for example. And only 37 percent can book appointments online. In some jurisdictions, the gap between what consumers demand and what healthcare providers are prepared to give them is especially wide. In France, for example, only 25 percent have some level of access to their electronic health records.
Why do so many healthcare providers seem to be on the wrong side of the digital debate? For one thing, some doctors tell us they fear that they will be spending too much of their valuable time online with their newly empowered patients, reducing productivity and adding to costs. Clinicians also have understandable concerns about data privacy and patient safety.

MIT's Tech Review Comes Out In Favor Of Patent Trolls
from the sad-day-for-MIT dept
Until the U.S. Patent Office grants JoikuSoft a patent on its technology, it doesn't own it and can't demand a licensing fee from anyone who builds their own version of it.Scary, huh? Of course, this version of the story leaves out all sorts of important details. For example, the idea of turning mobile phones into hotspots was hardly an original or non-obvious idea. Lots of companies had been working on this, and the idea that only this one small Finnish company figured it out is laughably inaccurate. Second, it leaves out the fact that all these other companies, who are offering phones with the technology, are actually bringing new innovations to market, unlike JoikuSoft, who seems to be sitting around waiting for a patent to threaten people with it. That's not innovation that helps the market, that's a tax on innovation. It's a sad statement that a magazine like MIT's Tech Review would resort to such blatantly anti-innovation propaganda.

Woody Allen at his best.
Justin Timberlake...as an aspiring playwright?! There's suspending disbelief and then there's THIS!!!
For all those wondering what Kate Winslet is doing in a movie with Jim Belushi and Justin Timberlake...
It was like watching a play on a movie screen. Nice touch with the Sapranos addition.
Kate Winslet chews the scenery as Blanche Dubois and channels Martha from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. When she put on the sequins, I thought she was adding Baby Jane. Not Woody's best effort by far.
Woody's a genius
Woody Allen is garbage.

Women you should know .net found the little girl in the lego ad, Rachel Giordano, who is all grown up, and she has a few things to say about gendered (pink) toys.
"In 1981," explains Giordano, "LEGOs were 'Universal Building Sets' and that's exactly what they were…for boys and girls. Toys are supposed to foster creativity. But nowadays, it seems that a lot more toys already have messages built into them before a child even opens the pink or blue package. In 1981, LEGOs were simple and gender-neutral, and the creativity of the child produced the message. In 2014, it's the reverse: the toy delivers a message to the child, and this message is weirdly about gender."
Indeed, we've seen gendered toys intended to encourage young girls to aspire to careers in STEM or media, but like the TV news van from Lego described in the piece, the advertising reveals the real message:
"Break the big story of the world's best cake with the Heartlake News Van! Find the cake and film it with the camera and then climb into the editing suite and get it ready for broadcast. Get Emma ready at the makeup table so she looks her best for the camera. Sit her at the news desk as Andrew films her talking about the cake story and then present the weather to the viewers."
There's no editing suite in the news van, there's a makeup table. Smile and look pretty for the cameras, girls.
Bonus trivia, the creative director at SSC&B who oversaw the making of the popular Lego ad in 1981 was Judy Lotas, mother of two young lego-playing daughters herself at the time.
What's wrong with pink then? WYSK asked Rachel Giordano ;
"Because gender segmenting toys interferes with a child's own creative expression. I know that how I played as a girl shaped who I am today. It contributed to me becoming a physician and inspired me to want to help others achieve health and wellness. I co-own two medical centers in Seattle. Doctor kits used to be for all children, but now they are on the boys' aisle. I simply believe that they should be marketed to all children again, and the same with LEGOs and other toys."
Michele Yulo Princess Free Zone tears the new Friends lego ad apart and shows the 1981 ad side by side with a current photo of her daughter using neutral (sorry, "boys") lego. Cutting straight to the point with her self-made ad, the line reads: Children haven't changed. We have. She astutely points out the many ways that the new lego ad failed to be what the old lego ad was;
The thing for me is that I can see Lego trying to hearken back to the 1981 ad that shows a little girl in blue jeans and blue tee proudly holding her Legos (by the way--this girl appears to be much older here). But the 1981 ad doesn't identify which gender the Legos are actually for; instead, it allows for all children to be included in imaginary play. [Whereas the new] ad continues to perpetuate the marketing scheme that there are toys for girls and toys for boys. I know that there are boys who like Lego Friends as well--this ad excludes them. Yes, it appears to be lovely and sweet. It appears to tell girls they are unique, they can do anything. But this ad is sneaky. And if you place this ad side by side with the 1981 ad--it still lacks the 'what it is is beautiful' sentiment that tells ALL children they are capable of anything. Just putting a girl in blue doesn't make that happen.
The question is, when did marketing to women and girls becomes such a pinkified thing? Marketing to women, and girls, has become its own speciality agency business. Just like translation agencies have specialized in getting your advertising message across in various languages, there's multicultural agencies who sell the ability to speak to specific market. Like the hispanic and latin american ones who can reach those markets in the voice and languages they use. Naturally there's agencies who know how to tap into what motivates the female consumer, and can speak to them in "female" voice too. Who is it that is selling the idea that "pink" = female consumers? Back in 2012 NPR had a discussion on the gendered LEGO;
"Well, I think part of the problem with Lego's marketing is that it's very market research based. I mean, they've looked at what is going to sell to girls, so when you market pink princesses and beauty to girls from the time they're infants, by the time they're in Lego's target market for this line, which is about five and up, they're going to associate pink, pretty, you know, this very specific gender role with what they think they're supposed to be playing with. It's all they've been marketed their entire lives, so of course, that's what Lego's marketing research is going to find."
To paraphrase Bill, we are so busy measuring public opinion that we forget we actually are molding it.

Glee kicked off its fourth season Thursday and although most of the episode focused on the new Rachel — aka the evolving Rachel (Lea Michele) now conquering New York and the thunderdome-style battle back in glee club to fill her shoes as de-facto leader — there was another new Rachel roaming the halls of McKinley. However, this Rachel — with a gorgeous singing voice and natural good looks — goes by the name of Marley.
The season premiere added several new faces to the mix, including high-profile guest star Kate Hudson as Cassandra July, Rachel's NYADA dance teacher from hell, as well as several young'uns, such as Marley, who are seemingly being poised to segue into the spotlight now that last year's seniors are off following their dreams and as last year's juniors head into their senior years. So are the new kids worthy successors to the New Directions throne? Or does Glee have a Saved by the Bell: The New Class situation on its hands? Let's break it down:
Glee's Ian Brennan: Season 4 feels more "adult" and goes back to basics
Marley (Melissa Benoist)
Bio: It's McKinley High's less headstrong version of Dawson's Creek's Joey Potter: the soft-spoken tomboy who seems completely unaware of her good looks/talent and comes from a working-class background that she refuses to apologize for..
Revealing Soundbite: "I thought you guys were different."
First Impression: Marley is able to hold her own in a duet with Rachel on "New York State of Mind," which will invite comparisons to said McKinley alum. However, while Rachel's quirks and impressive (read: bordering-on-grating) drive to become a star were exposed from Day 1, for the moment Marley feels like someone simply posing as a misunderstood glee club outcast. Don't be shy, wave your freak flag high!
Jake Puckerman (Jacob Artist)
Bio: Hello! His last name is Puckerman! However, Jake might just even be more of a bad boy because he was hidden from his half-brother his whole life. But while Puck (Mark Salling) somehow stumbled into the glee club to follow Finn's footsteps, Jake seems much more passionate about performing (and it doesn't hurt that he has the voice to back that up).
Revealing Soundbite: "I like this chip on my shoulder and I'm not losing it to sing for you."
First Impression: Apparently, Puck got his sense of humor from his mom because so far, Jake is heavy on the brooding and light on the laughter — which is one of the things that saved Puck from becoming a completely despicable womanizer, baby daddy and teacher-lover.
Glee Season 4 posters: New York takes a bite out of Rachel! But where is Quinn?
Kitty (Becca Tobin)
Bio: Coach Sue (Jane Lynch) described new Cheerio, and her new head b---- best: "She's like a young Quinn Fabray except she's not pregnant, manic-depressive or in-and-out of a wheelchair."
Revealing Soundbite: "Since we can't do a pep-rally float with all white people, how about we do all white Chrysanthemums?"
First Impression: Many will compare her to Quinn (Dianna Agron), but the former head of the Chastisty Club was never, ever downright racist. Thanks to Sue's recent (albeit brief) turns on the soft side, Kitty makes her coach look like a Care Bear. We're sure there's some sob story from Kitty's past that gives her such a fierce bite, but here's hoping the writers introduce that backstory before Kitty gets stuck on the dark side for good, a la Sebastian.
Brody (Dean Geyer)
Bio: A hot older guy with a six pack, a great voice and a moisturizing regimen that rivals Rachel's?! Who knew such perfect beings existed, even in a city of eight million?
Revealing Quote: "In case you were wondering, which you were, I'm straight."
First Impression: Despite his shirtless introduction via shower (just like how Mr. Schue first discovered Finn's stellar pipes!), Brody is confident without being cocky and seemingly very put-together while also being accessible. In fact, combine that with his sweet/genuine/nonthreatening pep talk to Rachel about embracing her new New York self, Brody seems almost too good to be true. Watch out, Finchel fans!

Copyright Week: Why Hollywood And The USTR Hate Transparency
from the the-public-needs-to-have-a-say dept
I have heard the argument that transparency would undermine the Administration's policy to complete the trade agreement because public opposition would be significant. If transparency would lead to widespread public opposition to a trade agreement, then that trade agreement should not be the policy of the United States. I believe in transparency and democracy and I think the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) should too.The EFF and a bunch of other organizations have designated this week as Copyright Week -- a chance for the public to weigh in and discuss copyright law and where it needs to go. They've put together a series of principles, that are worth reading. Each day will discuss different topics related to copyright law, specifically focusing on the aspects that are important to the public -- and which seem to be ignored (or pushed to the side) by copyright maximalists.
Today's principle is "transparency" -- something that has been sorely lacking in copyright law for quite some time. As you know, the history of copyright law is that it's supposed to be about using limited monopolies to encourage the dissemination of knowledge for the purpose of scientific advancement and learning. Yet, from the very beginning, it's been used for other purposes: initially for censorship and control, usually by gatekeepers, who are attempting to limit and control content production and dissemination for the sake of keeping the costs artificially high, allowing them to take the majority of the profits, often leaving the actual creators with little -- and the public with extreme limits on how they can communicate.
In recent decades, this has gotten much more extreme, as those gatekeepers have hijacked the legislative process multiple times with a very clever, but ultimately bogus "story," in which they pretend that they are representing content creators, even as they work hard to screw over those artists. Maximalist lobbyists have taken an incredible approach to ratcheting up copyright laws around the globe, hitting on dozens of different ways to continually push through changes without public input or opinion.
One recent example: in 1995, President Clinton's "commissioner of patents and trademarks," Bruce Lehman, released a white paper that pushed for the draconian copyright provisions of the DMCA, including takedowns and anti-circumvention provisions. In the light of day -- where at least some people were watching what Congress was doing -- no such laws could be passed. However, Lehman was so tied to Hollywood's interests, that he's actually happy to admit that when Congress wouldn't pass such a law he did "an end-run around Congress" by running to WIPO (where the public was not watching), and getting a "treaty" passed, which basically required the DMCA.
Treaty in hand, maximalists ran back to Congress, screaming about how we had to pass the DMCA or violate our "international obligations." And, it worked. While large ISPs were (thankfully) able to make enough noise to include the one good part of the DMCA -- the safe harbor provisions for service providers -- the rest of the terrible DMCA came into law entirely because of this sneaky process used by Lehman and other maximalists to hide away from where the public was looking, and push through some agreement. This has been the ongoing plan for quite some time. Maximalists will push through bad legislation wherever possible, and then use international treaties and trade agreements to try to take the worst laws they were able to get in one place, and "harmonize" them, to make them required everywhere.
And it's been quite effective. Using international agreements, negotiated in secret, to then tie the hands of legislatures has been used countless times to expand copyright law around the globe over the last couple decades.
But in the last couple years, something changed. It started with SOPA. A deal that was entirely negotiated in the backrooms by copyright maximalists and their friends in Congress failed completely when the public realized what was going on. Soon after that, ACTA, yet another "international agreement" that pushed for "harmonizing" maximalist rules, and which was negotiated entirely in secret, flopped in Europe after the public was exposed to it. And yet, the maximalist lobbyists and their friends at the USTR (who, surprise surprise, are often the same people), continue to believe that they can use this strategy going forward. Negotiate in secret, refuse to be open to the public, and then tie Congress' hands.
That's what's happening now with the TPP and the TTIP/TAFTA agreements. The USTR has absolutely refused anything resembling transparency -- while insultingly insisting that they're being incredibly transparent, because they'll "consult" with anyone. But, as we've explained countless times, listening is not transparency. Transparency is about providing information back, sharing what's being negotiated in our name, and then not supporting Congress limiting itself from actually discussing what's in the document.
The USTR and Hollywood have a playbook from the last couple of decades to continually ratchet up copyright law, and limit any attempt to roll back its excesses. And it starts with a complete lack of transparency. It has to. Because, as we saw with SOPA and ACTA, when you actually let the public see what's being pushed for in our name, they fight back, and they say "we do not want this." And, as Senator Warren pointed out, if the American people do not want it, then it should not be the policy of the United States.
A lack of transparency in copyright policy serves only the desires of the maximalist to control speech, to limit innovation and to harm creators and the public (who are often one and the same). It's an undemocratic attempt to aid a group of greedy gatekeepers, whose interests are antithetical to the intent and purpose of copyright law. That the USTR has been willing to support this effort, and works hand in hand with Hollywood to make sure there is no transparency at all is the true travesty in all of this, and should raise significant questions about whom the USTR really works for. Is it the American public or is it Hollywood?

CENTERVILLE, Mass. – Junior right hander Will Barrack (Lancaster, Va.) has earned his second Pitcher of the Week honor as he has been selected as the top hurler in Division III New England baseball by the ECAC.
The honor marks another first for the 6'5" Virginia native, who last week tied the single game record for strikeouts with 16 in the win over Concordia University (Wis.). Barrack was dominant through all seven innings of work retiring the side in back-to-back innings to cap off a eight straight K's.
Barrack allowed just two earned runs on three hits and fanned at-least two batters in every inning. His 16 K's along with the bullpens three set a new single game record for strikeouts with 19.

In Seattle we had nearly two weeks where the sun tempted us with Spring. Green buds emerged, soft pink cherry blossoms covered the bare branches and in the anticipation of our Summer garden we covered our window sills with starts soon to be planted in the rich soil. Now the rain has returned and continues to pelt the fragile pink petals knocking them to the ground leaving a bed of pale floral snow covering the sidewalk.
But in our house the blossoms continue to bloom thanks to scissors, glue and pink tissue paper – or in our case – white tissue paper painted pink.
This is a very simple craft project that brings the beauty of Spring inside and will last long after the last petal has descended to its cement grave.
First step is to take a walk and gather some fallen branches. If they are wet let dry for a couple of days.
Then gather your tissue paper, glue, scissors and helping hands.
Cut out circles in the tissue paper about the size of a 50 cent piece. Remember those?
Stick a pen or pencil in the center of the circle and gather the tissue paper around it. Form the petals with your fingers.
Then glue to your branches.
Happy Spring!

Cobb's gem backed by Zobrist's key knocks

ST. PETERSBURG -- Quality pitching and timely hitting, kind of sounds like the good old days of Rays baseball.
Tuesday night the Rays ran into a part of those good old days in the form of Matt Garza, who started for the Brewers. Meanwhile, Alex Cobb started for the Rays and a pitching duel ensued.View Full Game Coverage
Both starters held serve in their respective quality starts, but a Rays offense led by Ben Zobrist eventually took down the Brewers' bullpen in a 5-1 Rays win at Tropicana Field.
The Rays (53-54) have won 11 of their last 12 games since July 12 and they are 29-12 since June 11 after going on a 1-14 stretch that dropped them to 18 games below .500.
"We're playing for the World Series," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "That's been our objective from Day 1. For me it's to get to the playoffs and win the World Series. That has not changed.
"I'm telling you we're one of the best teams in the American League. Our record is not reflecting it yet. But if we keep playing like this it soon shall. There's a lot of time left. We need to do the 'Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid' thing, make these people look in the rearview mirror and say, 'Who are these guys?' We have to keep pushing, pushing, pushing, up tempo."
Pinch-hitter Sean Rodriguez began the winning rally with a leadoff walk against Will Smith to start the eighth. Desmond Jennings' sacrifice moved him to second and he alertly took third on a wild pitch. Zobrist then doubled to left on a 3-2 slider to put the Rays up, 2-1.
"I had never faced Smith before, and he's got good stuff -- obviously he throws hard, and he's got a good slider," Zobrist said. "And he got me early on in the count a little bit, but I was fortunate 3-2 there that he just left it over the middle of the plate and I was able to get the barrel to it. Obviously I think he probably would have wanted to throw that ball down and in or something, trying to get me to chase it, and he just kind of left it up in there."
Logan Forsythe followed with an RBI double off the center-field wall to give the Rays a two-run cushion. The Rays scored again when Brandon Guyer's roller to first drove home Forsythe and Cole Figueroa added a sacrifice fly after replacing Yunel Escobar, who got ejected after protesting a strike call.
Until the eighth, the game had lived up to his promise of a pitching duel between Cobb and Garza. Hitters from neither team could get comfortable in the box as both of the right-handers were dealing.
Aramis Ramirez singled off Cobb to start the Brewers' fifth and moved to second when Khris Davis walked. Mark Reynolds' sacrifice bunt advanced the runners into scoring position for Scooter Gennett, who came through with a sacrifice fly to center that scored Ramirez for a 1-0 Brewers lead.
Zobrist squared up an 0-1 offering from Garza with two out in the sixth, sending an arching shot over the right-field wall for his ninth homer of the season to tie the game at 1.
"He stayed inside of it and pulled a fastball across and paid for it," Garza said. "That's about it. I knew runs were going to be at a minimum; Cobb's splitfinger today was real nasty. It is what it is."
Cobb allowed one run on three hits while striking out 12 in eight innings to claim his seventh win of the season. Garza allowed one run on five hits in seven innings to take a no-decision.
"To start that game, Garza -- I don't want to say dominated, but he was really in the groove, in the zone," Cobb said. "Really making some great pitches. We kept clawing away. Even the ball Zo hit out was in on his hands, it was a great pitch. So for him to keep that ball fair was tremendous.
"We were able to get to the bullpen late. It's just the resiliency of just going up there and putting up together good at-bats is just tremendous right now. There's just no quit in anybody, nobody's getting down. ... It's fun to watch when you're going like that."

A slightly different Friday feature for you this week, Blog Reader: both a lingerie feature and an outfit post. During my last trip home to London I had the opportunity to once again pay a visit to the fantastic creative team at Bordelle. This Friday feature focusses on their stunning new autumn winter 12/13 collection, inspired by the movies of David Lynch, specifically the surreal 'Blue Velvet' with all its dreamy imagery.
Bordelle's new autumn winter 12/13 is rich in film noir shades (black and neutrals), punctuated with (what else but) velvety purple and deep red. Some of my favourites from the new line are the Blue Velvet Justine Plunge Bra and Velvet Odile knicker which make a wonderful everyday set with a little opulence.
Above: the Voyeur Angela dress, this season's take on Bordelle's signature classic.
Within this new fashion forward lingerie collection are several pieces that can be worn as outerwear. Their Voyeur Harness is a spectacular body accessory that Bordelle introduced me to during my very first visit to their HQ – I loved the style so much I put in my order there and then.
I've been wearing the harness over the simplest dresses and plain tees. Created from satin elastic panelling, the shoulder pads give this piece great structure. It is fully adjustable at the front, back and sides – and along the sides run bold, gold plated rings. You can wear the harness two ways (in the style I am showing here, the front is technically the back of the harness but I prefer the emphasis on the back with the ring design). The harness is a perfect accompaniment to Bordelle's floor sweeping Isabella gown, below:
Other favourites from the new collection are the Voyeur suspender, a body contouring piece with two oversized gold rings at the sides and the masterpiece that is the Tutu waspie – a girdle with satin elastic panelling and tulle peplum overlay. This ability to create truly fashion forward lingerie, to continually innovate and evolve signature designs is one of the reasons I like Bordelle so much.

I'm wearing: Bordelle Voyeur Harness, BCBG Lexie Essential Knit Maxi Dress and Mango Fetish Sandal.
Provocative, dominant and highly sexy – I said before I feel that Bordelle encourage you to bring out your assertive inner goddess and this new collection is no exception. You can see the full range on the Bordelle site here.

When the consider the event, it was shocking that only 13,000 were in attendance on this day in 1973 at San Francisco.
The Giants beat the Mets, 4-1, in what was Willie Mays' last appearance as a player in Candlestick Park. Mays went 0-for-4.
Five days later, against Cincinnati's Don Gullet at Shea Stadium, Mays hit his 660th and final home run of his career.
This was Mays' last season, and it was a disappointing way to go out, even if he played in the World Series. In 66 games, Mays hit .211 with six homers and 25 RBI.
The Mets traded for Mays in May of 1972 in a public relations coup for the franchise. At the time, the Giants were in financial distress and owner Horace Stoneham couldn't guarantee a position after retirement.

Ryan Howard's two-homer night help rocket the Phils into a 9-6 victory over the Nats, back into first place in the NL East.
Ryan Howard's two massive home runs, a solo shot and a team record setting grand-slam home run, help leads the Phils to a 9-6 win over the lowly Nationals. The Phils, meanwhile, regain first place from the Mets.
The Nationals took the lead in the second as, with two men on, and one man out, Wil Nieves hits a two run double, knocking in Josh Willingham, who had earlier singled, and had moved up to second on Alberto Gonzalez's single, and Gonzalez, who had just singled, giving the Nats a 2-0 lead. Two batters later, with Nieves still on second, and now with two men out, Anderson Hernandez hits an RBI single, knocking in Nieves, who beat the throw to the plate, giving the Nats a 3-0 lead, while Hernandez would move up to second on the throw. The Phils would get a run back in their half of the second as Ryan Howard hits a lead-off home run, his thirteenth home run of the year, cutting the Nats' lead to 3-1. In the third, with a runner on second, and one man out, Jimmy Rollins hits an RBI single, scoring Carlos Ruiz, who had earlier walked, and had moved up to second on Cole Hamels' sacrifice bunt, making it a 3-2 Nats' lead. After Rollins stole second base, the Phils loaded the bases on a Shane Victorino walk and a Chase Utley infield single. Ryan Howard then clears them with a 475-ft monster to right for a grand-slam home run, his fourteenth home run of the year, his third grand-salm of the season, and the eighth grand-slam of his career, setting a new franchise record, as he scored Rollins, Victorino and Utley before him, giving the Phils a 6-3 lead. In the fourth, the Nats would get one of the runs back, as, with one man on, and nobody out, Gonzalez hits an RBI triple, knocking in Austin Kearns, who had earlier walked, making it a 6-4 Phils lead. The Phils would get the run back in their half of the inning as, with a runner on second, and one man out, Hamels hits an RBI double, knocking in Ruiz, who had earlier doubled, giving the Phils a 7-4 lead. In the sixth, with a man on, and two men out, pinch hitter Ronnie Belliard hits a pinch hit two-run home run, scoring Kearns, who had earlier singled, had gone to second when Gonzalez was hit by the pitch, and had gone over to third on Nieves' double play, 5-4-3, wiping out Gonzalez at second, making it 7-6 Phils. The Phils would get those two runs back in their half of the sixth as, with the bases loaded, via a walk to pinch hitter Greg Dobbs, a double by Victorino, which sent Dobbs to third, and a walk to Utley, with two men out, Howard would reach base on a fielding error by second baseman Hernandez, allowing both Dobbs and Victorino to score, and Utley to reach third, as the Phils take a 9-6 lead. That would be the final score as the Phillies' bullpen shut down the Nats for the final three innings, with Brad Lidge notching his eleventh save of the year as he pitched a scoreless ninth.
Cole Hamels got the victory as he pitched six innings, giving up six runs on eight hits, a walk and a hit batter, while he struck out seven. His record is now 3-2 with a 5.21 ERA. Scott Eyre recorded his ninth hold of the year as he pitched a third of an inning, giving up two hits. Clay Condrey pitched two-thirds of an inning, recording his fourth hold of the season, as he struck out a batter. Ryan Madson recorded his eleventh hold of the year as he pitched a 1-2-3 inning, striking out two. Brad Lidge recorded his eleventh save of the season as he gave up only a hit, while striking out a batter. Shairon Martis took the lost as he pitched only four innings, giving up seven runs on seven hits and two walks, while striking out only one. His record is now 5-1 with a 5.62 ERA. Jason Bergmann pitched a scoreless inning. Mike MacDougal pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up two runs on a hit and a walk. Ron Villone, Julian Taverez, Kip Wells and Jesus Colome combined for two and a third scoreless innings, giving up two hits (Tavarez (1), Colome (1)), a walk (Villone) and two hit batters (Tavarez (1), Colome (1)), while striking out four (Tavarez (1), Colome (3)) between them.
The Phillies had ten hits, with Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard leading the way with two hits each, with both of Howard's hits being home runs. Chase Utley, Jayson Werth, Carlos Ruiz and Cole Hamels had the Phils' other four hits. Besides Howard's five RBIs, Hamels and Rollins both knocked in a run. The Phils had six extra-base hits, four doubles and two home runs. The Phils also stole five bases, with Utley, Rollins, Victorino, Ruiz and Werth each stealing a base. The win gives the Phils a series win, as they now go for the series sweep against the Nationals.
The Phillies (27-20, 1st) will conclude their three-games home stand with an afternoon game against the Nationals (13-35, 5th) that will be played at Citizens Bank Park. The game will start at 1:35 pm Eastern. The Phillies will send to the mound Jamie Moyer (3-5, 7.42), who is coming off a lost against the Marlins on May 25, where he went six innings, giving up four runs on seven hits and two walks, while striking out five, in the Phils' 5-3 lost. He is still looking for his 250th career win, and for his first victory in over a month. The Nationals will counter with John Lannan (2-4, 4.11), who is coming off a lost on May 25 to the Mets, as he pitched five innings, giving up five runs on eight hits and four walks, in the Nats' 5-2 lost. He will be trying to keep the Phils from sweeping the Nats. The Phillies will be trying to leave home with a winning home stand before going back onto the road, where they have the best record in baseball.

Best Bike Cleaner Period
By ktrainer
from Ipswich, MA
About Me
Once again Finish Line steps up with another great product. The Super Wash simply eats away grease and grime on your bike. Perfect for when you get back from those less than perfect riding conditions. Espically if your ride in the rain or winter conditions.
The beauty about this product is that it actually leaves a protective layer on the bike frame, almost like a teflon coat. This makes the bike much easier to clean the next time aroung.
You can use it on any part of the bike, includeing handlebar tape and leather.
The only reason this doesnt get a 5 stars is because its a bit pricey. Though it will last you a while.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Corn is thriving in the heat.
The corn in this Christian County (KY) field was planted before the flood in early May. Somewhere in the field, there are probably a few places where the corn plants are sparse, because the seeds (or the seedlings) were washed out by heavy rain or because the young plants stood too long in water and died.
Some of the corn around the county is much younger than the corn in this photo. Farmers had to wait a while for the fields to dry after all that rain. Fortunately, we have a long growing season in Kentucky, and the corn still has plenty of time to mature before frost. The main concerns about late corn are insects and the dry weather we often get in mid-to-late summer.
Corn likes the heat, as long as it has adequate moisture in the soil. We've had a couple of heavy rains in this part of Christian County just this week, so the corn around here should be growing like crazy.
My husband says some fields of corn are tasseling near Pembroke. Those plants won't be growing any taller. They'll be putting all their remaining energy into growing their ears. The amount of time that corn needs to reach the tasseling stage is determined by its variety. Some corn varieties are short-season, some are long-season, and some are between the two extremes.
Ag Web reports that across the nation,
Conditions for both corn and soybeans are in very good shape so far this year and ahead of last year. Corn is listed at 77% good to excellent, compared to 76% last week. (Source)_______________

July 26th, 2011
I've just added a few more new stickers to the store:
I also have the usual complement of holiday cards! I was hoping to release at least one new card this year, but I'm still waiting on the order to arrive from the printer. So we'll see when those actually show up.
I've changed the way the store handles greeting cards so that now each card design is an individual product, meaning you can order as little as one card!
And you can still get quantity discounts starting at 3 or more cards (the product page shows you a coupon code that you can enter at checkout).
The Multi-Purpose Cards in particular are also now available in this store as PDFs you can download & print out yourself.
The 2019 Wondermark Calendar is up for pre-order!
Patreon backers learned about it several days ago, so the first 60 or so have already been claimed.
There's not much to show, so far — I'll share pictures once there's something to take pictures of — but if you already know you want it, you can claim your copy now!
This year, available optionally with or without the calendar is a new mini-book called The Elephant of Surprise.
It collects all the comics from the entire sick elephant saga, and somehow this makes it 130 pages long.
This is because for this book, I've broken strips into individual panels and spread them over multiple pages so they can be printed decadently oversized. I've also added a few panels here and there for pacing, or enlarged existing panels to show more detail.
This book also contains all of the classic Wondermark elephant comics that are referenced in the story! There are nine classic strips from 2003-2012 that get called back to in the saga proper.
Pictures of this book are forthcoming too! The first thing is to get it finished!
There's also a couple of sick-elephant-related T-shirts — but you probably shouldn't buy them, because you'll look like a big dork, and we wouldn't want that!!
If you're reading this on an RSS reader, you probably noticed a bunch of old posts pop up today! There was an error in the feed. Be sure to read the latest comics in order, oldest ones first! (Or catch up with the entire sick elephant saga, now concluded, by starting at sickelephant.com.)
If you're reading this via email, my guess is that it's going to be a VERY LONG EMAIL with several weeks' worth of comics you never received. Be sure to start from the bottom of the email so you read the comics in order (or catch up on the site).
Sorry for this extra trouble! The problem should be fixed now.
If you're reading this on the website, you are a very good person to still visit independent websites! I hope you continue to. HOWEVER, just for the record, this is a good time to refresh everyone's memory as to the different ways to subscribe to the comic:
• Get a daily email – wondermark.com/email
• Twitter feed for the comic – twitter.com/wondermarkfeed
• Twitter feed for me personally – twitter.com/malki
• Facebook page for the comic – facebook.com/wondermarkdotcom
All of those get you all the comics (although of course with social media you're more likely to miss some, thanks to "the algorithm" and Facebook's business model of bottlenecking).
I have a Tumblr too (irregularly updated, though I did just post a couple good ones) and of course I also post various things to Patreon.
If you have some other way you'd like to see the comics — some way of reading comics that's popular now that I don't know about — you can contact me via any of the above things! (Or leave a comment on this post.)
(I've already squatted the Instagram and will start posting there once I find some elves who can break all the old comics into individual square panels for me.)
Here are a few of the Roll-a-Sketch drawings I did for folks at Gen Con earlier this summer! (Click the images for a closer look.)
I'm pretty fond of this last one, I gotta tell you. But lest we think there's only one way to do a unicorn artist:
I have it on good authority that this is the original version, and Rockwell just cribbed from it from the past somehow.
