How many bachelors are left now? Five? I keep thinking this is over, but you know what? It's not over. Nothing is over!
Oh, god. So they're still in Banff, not Banff "Springs," which is the name of the hotel they're staying at, and not the town. Jillian, who's been knocking it out, looks-wise, over the last couple of episodes in Banff, talks about how huge it is to meet guys' families. In which case I'm sure she's happy to be in the hands of a television show like The Bachelorette, which is always classy and treats love with the reverence and solemnity it deserves.
So we're in Philadelphia, which is Reid's hometown, and right away we're looking at the famous steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art that Rocky jogged up, and there's Rocky's statue which was erected about eighty years ago, like come back to the twenty-first century, Bachelorette! Ah, who'm I kidding. If I ever go to Philadelphia, that's the first place I'm going.
And there's Reid waiting on some street somewhere with some coffee, and Jillian gets out of a car and they embrace and squeal. Jillian's excited to explore Philadelphia, but she's worried Reid will see she's not a good fit. Which is kind of an odd way to put it. Shouldn't she be worried that she'll see Reid isn't a good fit? I mean, she is, ostensibly, in charge here, right? The two of them sit on a bench and talk about being nervous about the first hometown date, and then they nuzzle and kiss and are unfortunately not pelted with batteries by passing Philadelphians.
So the two of them go for a stroll, and Jillian raves about how beautiful the city is. "It would be a very easy city to live in," she says. Unless one of the actual bachelors is from, I don't know, some place like Tehran, the same's probably true elsewhere.
Time to meet the family! Reid says approval of his family is so important that if one member of his family disapproves, he'd say she's not the girl for him. Really, Reid? Would that one member of your family be living with Jillian for the rest of his or her life? That's rather disappointing.
Reid's going to introduce Jillian to his mom Rhonda, dad Larry, and brothers Brett and Chad. Reid says his mother calls him every few days to ask about who he's dating, and when he's getting serious, etc. "Now that I'm turning thirty in two days, she can get a little crazy," he says.
So Jillian sits down with Reid and his family while everyone drinks beer and Rhonda talks about how it would nice to add a designer to the family, since Reid is a Realtor. And sure enough, mom babbles a little bit about how Reid is good with kids and so she figures he'll get married and have kids, finishing, incongruously, with, "...but, whatever." In an interview, Rhonda tells us that now that Reid is pushing thirty, they'd really like to see him settle down. But she doesn't want to see him hurt, so she wants to make sure that Jillian's the one. Well, do you know she's seeing four other men, and that's actually the fewest number of men she's been seeing over the last couple of weeks?

Morristown, N.J. – The judge presiding over a fraud and racketeering case involving Minnesota Vikings owners Zygi, Mark and Leonard Wilf will decide next week whether to postpone awarding nearly $100 million in damages and fees to their former business partners.
As early as Monday, New Jersey Superior Court Judge Deanne Wilson also could rule on whether to disclose the Wilfs' net worth, which the judge used to calculate damages in the fraud case.
After three days of debate, Wilson on Friday adjourned the final hearing in the long-fought legal battle for the weekend.
When court resumes on Monday, Wilson may announce the amount and type of bond the Wilfs must post if she delays awarding damages to plaintiffs Josef Halpern and Ada Reichmann.
The value of the bond could well exceed the Wilfs' potential $100 million fine. Under New Jersey law, the bond usually includes the full amount of the judgment, an allotment to cover legal fees for the appeal, contingency funds in case an appeals court awards extra damages, and interest payments tacked on.
The attorneys for brothers Zygi and Mark Wilf and their cousin Leonard Wilf contend that Wilson should postpone the payout to Halpern and Reichmann, pending appeal.
That is "appropriate until the [appeals court] has determined all the issues in this matter, which we feel are significant," said the Wilfs' lead attorney, Sheppard Guryan.
The appeals process could take several years or more, Wilson told attorneys on Friday.
Halpern's attorney, Alan Lebensfeld, plans to petition the New Jersey Court of Appeals to speed the process, because his client is terminally ill.
"It's time to go on to the next stage," Lebensfeld said. "It's been an enormous strain on everybody."
As the Wilfs embark on the construction of a new $1 billion Vikings stadium in time for the 2016 football season, the final stages of the 21-year-old legal battle have led to renewed scrutiny of the Wilfs' wealth.
Wilson has already rendered an $84.5 million judgment against the Wilfs, whom she ruled committed fraud and violated the state's civil racketeering laws in a 1980s real estate deal.
Wilson will also hand down her decision on a recommendation that the Wilfs pay $15 million in legal fees and court costs.
The Wilf case is the last for Wilson, 69, who delayed her retirement by two years to hear the case to its conclusion. Her last day on the job is Friday, Dec. 20.
Bitter battle continues
The Wilfs have long fought to keep their finances private, but after a state appeals court panel declined to hear their case this week, Wilson will have the final say. She could decide to keep their net worth under wraps until attorneys exhaust the appeal process.
In court filings, the family accused the judge of having an "anti-wealth bias" and argued that revealing their net worth could hinder their business dealings and place their families at risk of physical attacks and extortion plots.
This fall, Wilson found that the Wilfs shorted Halpern and Reichmann tens of millions of dollars in profits from Rachel Gardens, a 764-unit apartment complex in Montville, N.J., named for Halpern's wife.
Halpern and Reichmann, who are siblings, placed the underpayments at $20 million and sought triple damages from the Wilfs under New Jersey's racketeering laws, but Wilson's judgment went beyond that. Wilson used the Wilfs' net worth when awarding the damages.
The family has fought to keep their net worth private even as they secured public funding for the new stadium in Minneapolis.
An independent audit of their finances conducted this fall for the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, the panel charged operating the stadium, found that the Wilfs could cover their part of the financing, roughly $477 million.
With financing and preparation costs, the Wilfs actually will pay about $550 million, aided by revenue generated from naming rights, sponsorships, licensing fees and a $200 million loan from the National Football League.
The Wilfs did not appear in court this week, and have no plans to attend next week, Guryan said.

At Peninsula, we use highly accurate, minimally-invasive leak detection techniques to locate the exact source of the leaks in your pipes. If we find them, we can take care of the problem quickly, either by pipe replacement or by rerouting sections of your plumbing system.

Slab Leak Detection in Camden, DE
Slab leaks occur when a water line has failed under a slab foundation, and if they go untended they can do serious damage to your home. Slab leaks can be caused by chemicals in the soil that reacts with copper pipes and can cause them to deteriorate. This process is slow and can happen years after the slab and pipes are originally installed.
Slab leaks can also be caused by exposed piping coming into contact with unprotected lines, rebar, electrical conduits, or heating duct work. Friction causes the piping to become worn and leaky. Additionally, slab leaks may be the result of kinked lines or lines that have been accidentally damaged by a concrete worker or other contractor. The nick or indentation eventually wears through and causes a leak.
Pool Leak Detection in Camden, DE
Pool leaks can be very frustrating for property managers and homeowners alike. A pool leak can result in serious damage to surrounding buildings, and excessive water resulting from a pool leak can disturb the soil below the pool deck and can cause the deck to collapse. Successful leak detection and repair consists of information gathering and progressive leak detection, a step-by-step process where parts of the filter system plumbing and pool interior are tested in order to find the leak.

Specify, or Be Damned. — Individualism does not specify itself to be in keeping with any particular society, or even with the existence of society at all, but rather it addresses itself only to an unspecified individuality. Such unspecification about what an individual should be is precisely at the heart of individualism's boast about its being the friend and not the foe of the individual's freely seeking to be and to do whatever he chooses. "Do what thou wilt", it says, whereto it may add the black-box phrase, "so long as it harms none". Now, given a teaching which says that everyone may do as he pleases, irrespective of all truth, reason, goodness, morality, tradition, authority, obedience, bonds, and so forth, "so long as it harms none", and which, by its boasted lights, does not specify the kind of society which should be upheld, or even that any should be upheld, how is it that anyone could then come to the belief that it might after all stand as a pillar of any society, let alone a particular one, rather than being, as in truth it is, the rot upon all? One might say that here we are at the brink of sheer madness, inbequeathed through many years of listening to silly tales. But leaving aside an understanding of the teaching itself, which might conceivably have taken any name, the very name which it does carry gives us a clue to its drift, namely, that it seeks to uphold the unspecified individual, and not any society, specified or unspecified.
There are no ends specific to man as man, rather than to what he shares with mere beasts, which can be reached outside of his fellowship with his kind. No speech nor reasoning, let alone higher arts and sciences, would arise if all men stood from the first outside of fellowship. Every man began as a helpless baby and would have died were it not for the society of his kith and kin. Every man was without speech, and would have remained speechless were it not for the same. Every man was without schooling, and would have stayed unschooled. And so on. No man was ever born into a so-called state of nature, as first imagined by Thomas Hobbes, even if this be helpful as a conceptual threshold for the understanding that the closer a society comes in breaking down towards that threshold, the more brutish it becomes. It is nevertheless a figment which has led to misunderstanding and mischief, and it is from it that individualism has grown. Man's state of nature is the state of society. Man has never been in the so-called state of nature; for he is by nature a social animal and has always been in fellowship. Individualists, having thoughtlessly taken all social things for granted, and having for the most part imbibed unawares some old spirit of seventeenth-century philosophy, often speak as though they rose out of the ground and shaped themselves in isolation, wherein we glimpse also the drunken idea of self-creation born of Romanticism.
But he who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god: he is no part of a state. [1]
The liberal concept of man as selfstanding being, free to set his own moral ends, is one of the biggest untruths ever told — and yet folk swallow it whole, whereat we might take it that they are greedy for something.
Individualism is an emptiness which blights the field of personhood, turning men, if they can still be called such, into mere units of the mass to be gathered up in the total state. Man is a social animal; society is required to actualise a man's potential as a person. There are no pre-social individual persons. In the light of this, we may see individualism as some deeply primitive recrudescence, the tendency of which is to destroy the very conditions by which one can become a human person. A man cannot be a person without the fellowship, community, or society that made him. Unsocialised, man's potencies are not activated, and he stays at a level close to a beast, bereft of speech and reason, let alone partaking of the higher arts and sciences.
Individualistic societies are decomposing social bodies in which kinship-ties are loosened and even cut, and which can be held together only by an all-pervasive and socially-alien bureau-technocratic power — the "coldest of all cold monsters". In defence of these societies, and, by extension, willing or not, of this bureau-technocratic power, liberals, who sometimes call themselves libertarians, claim the greater freedom of these societies, where the largely unexamined and fuzzily-held concept "freedom" is a multivariate reference, unspecified of what, for what, and to what. In individualistic societies there is more freedom in the direction of baser and thrilling appetites, non-specific to mankind, hence the appeal of this freedom to the mass of baser men; and it is these appetites which dissolve kinship and personhood, bringing even greater demands for individualism, which brings greater freedom in the direction of baser and thrilling appetites, and so on, in a downward spiral. In individualistic societies, the freedom in personhood is much lowered, whilst the freedom in beasthood is heightened; and the bonds of kinship are cut whereby men would be men.
Liberals and libertarians, being the fiercest enemies of the freedom of personhood, and the strongest friends of the freedom of beasthood, that is to say, of the liberal haze-ideal of the "individual" whatever that individual may be, must be defeated if the freedom of the person as person is to be upheld. Liberalism, or rather its essential individualism, has a gut-feeling and a canny nose for the breaking-up of everything, even of the person, and it knows nothing of creation. The ideal of individualism can only belittle persons and bring to the fore a bulk of fittingly-blank individuals of the mass — fittingly blank for bearing the stamp of the bureau-technocratic regime.
The conformity that is forged today through the atomized individualism that strips men of their personhood has little to do with the collective identity for which men have always yearned. The conformity today is a stopgap and a takeover of this natural yearning. The atomised individual is stripped bare of his humanity — which has hitherto been actualised in society — and left adrift with his "freely-formed" and "-chosen" opinions, which are in truth nothing of the kind. He cannot think for himself, only of himself, because he is suffering a loss. He rebels against conformity in conformity with everyone else.
As the subversive mind is essentially individualistic and isolationistic, so is it essentially collectivistic and identitarian: on the view inherent in it, the curse of division and of being 'set against one another' cannot be surmounted except by a 'fusion into one'; an actual identification of consciousness, of qualities and of interest. In fact, individualism (tending towards egalitarianism) prefigures collectivism from the outset, and again, collectivism is only individualism raised to the high power of an absolute monism centred in 'all and every one'. [2]
Individualism foreshadows mass-collectivism. With authorities and societies broken down, nothing can stand in the way of pressing the individual units of alienated humanity, thitherto existing as persons, into a mass, each homogenised unit shaped to fit and imprinted with a set of political ideas and economic desires.
The pluralism which accompanies individualism is a social dysfunction built on subjectivistic-irrationalistic ethics. It denies that mankind has a nature and thereby a natural end to be fulfilled. Only by that denial does it make sense to say that everyone has a right to pursue any goals and practice any values which he pleases so long as he does not seek to foist them upon others. And how is that disorder to be managed? Why, by the totalitarian bureau-technocratic state of liberaldom! But of course it is not true that under liberaldom one can believe whatever one likes, nor especially what it is rational to believe. In liberaldom one can believe anything one likes so long as it makes no odds against liberaldom; one's unliberal beliefs, if they can still bear that name, are to be mild quirks of the self, slight hues in an otherwise grey smear of bureaucratic massification.
The task of liberalism from its beginning, namely, the search for neutral ground whereon the life of all mankind can rest, and whereupon everyone can seek his own ends, can find its end only in a true neutrality and indifference, and that is nowhere to be found in man except in his unpersonhood. Wherefore it is that liberalism's struggle to settle the life of mankind can find its end only in the death of personhood; and it is for this reason that the struggle against liberalism is the final and most profound one. Liberalism is the greatest evil that mankind has yet faced, and there is almost no-one to withstand it. That lack of withstanding, owed to liberalism's having swayed almost everyone to its side, is partly why it is the greatest evil.

Historic England is looking at old pubs and libraries in the South East to see which should be registered as listed buildings.
The group, formally know as English Heritage, is the public body for protecting England's historic environment and looks after everything from prehistoric landscapes across the South Downs to radically designed post-war buildings.
It advises the Government on which buildings should be listed and under a new scheme will be looking at pubs, libraries and even post-war public sculptures to see which should qualify for protection.
To mark the launch of the new campaign Historic England commissioned YouGov to survey people in England about how they relate to their heritage.
The poll showed English people care deeply for their heritage. Nationally, just under two fifths of people have taken action to protect a local building or place from damaging change or from becoming derelict or disused.
In the South East this figure is 41 per cent - the highest in the country together with the South West.
Duncan Wilson, Historic England chief executive, said: "This is a new era for the South East's heritage and Historic England is committed to working with local communities, owners and partners to ensure this heritage is valued and protected.
"From the South East's special historic buildings to those that form the backdrop to everyday life, this heritage is the physical embodiment of the past and the legacy that together we shall carry into the future."

(CNN) -- Juventus cast aside the disappointment of crashing out in the Champions League group stage, thumping Sassuolo 4-0 in Serie A on Sunday.
The three points were much welcomed by Juve, which exited Europe's top club competition in snowy Istanbul, and Carlos Tevez's hat-trick would have pleased the Argentine striker, too. Tevez also set up Federico Peluso's headed goal with a free kick.
Tevez had only hit the back of the net once in his previous seven appearances.
Even though Sassuolo hovered just above the relegation zone prior to kickoff, its play in the last month suggested Juventus might struggle. But Tevez's early goal -- in the 15th minute -- put the visitor under pressure at the Juventus Stadium in Turin.
He added efforts in the 45th and 68th minutes.
Sassuolo rarely troubled Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon without the services of leading scorer Domenico Berardi -- who is on loan from the Old Lady.
Juventus, the reigning Italian champion, moved six points clear of Roma, which visits AC Milan in a high-profile encounter Monday.
And in the league, Juventus has won eight in a row without conceding.
"It was a good way to make amends for Wednesday," Buffon told Sky Italia. "The elimination hurt us, but now there's another trophy we now have to try and win."
Veteran German striker Miroslav Klose returned from injury and provided some relief for Lazio manager Vladimir Petkovic, scoring both goals in a 2-0 win over Livorno.
Petkovic was under pressure following a spell of six league games without a victory.
Giuseppe Rossi scored his league-leading 13th goal -- three better than Tevez -- in Fiorentina's 3-0 win over Bologna.
In Sunday's late kickoff, Napoli doubled 10-man Inter 4-2 to close in on Roma.
Atletico keeps pace with Barca
In Spain, Atletico Madrid rejoined Barcelona on points at the top of La Liga after a stunning second-half performance against Valencia.
Diego Costa scored twice to tie Cristiano Ronaldo on 17 league goals and Madrid's less famous team blanked Valencia 3-0. Between his goals, Costa was denied from the spot by Diego Alves.
Valencia -- in mid table -- matched Atletico in the first half but the home side upped the tempo in the second.
Costa worked his way into the box in the 59th minute and Alves couldn't keep out his low shot. Alves, however, had little chance on Raul Garcia's rocket in the 63rd minute.
Alves saved Costa's penalty in the 74th minute but Costa was fouled again in the box and this time converted in the 81st.
Atletico and Barcelona each have 43 points and the same goal difference but Barca has scored one more goal.
The sides meet in early January.
A good day for Bayern
It was a good day for Bayern Munich -- and the Bavarians didn't even play.
Bayern maintained its seven-point advantage atop the Bundesliga after second-place Bayer Leverkusen slumped to a 1-0 loss -- at home -- to struggler Eintracht Frankfurt.
Frankfurt last tasted victory in the league in the middle of September.
Marco Russ scored the game's only goal with a 61st-minute header and Frankfurt missed the chance for a second when a penalty was saved in injury time.

From the Publisher :: Can Print Survive in the Digital Age?
"So how is YES! doing?" a long-term subscriber asks me. The anxious edge in her voice tells me this is not a casual question. With daily reports of newspapers and magazines folding or going online only, she's afraid she may lose her favorite magazine.
And of course she's not alone. Many are asking "Can print publications survive in the digital age?"
Our answer for YES! Magazine? Yes we can! As many of you have told us, if there was ever a time for the YES! message, this is it. Despite the economic downturn, subscriptions to YES!, visits to YES! online, and newsstand sales are hitting all-time highs. And, thanks to several generous donors, we're expanding our staff to mount our online "YES! Takes on the News" program.
But let me be honest. This is not easy. Our expenses keep growing—especially health insurance, postage, and our 100 percent post-consumer-waste recycled paper. To meet the challenge, we've got five key strategies we're betting will keep us serving you, both in print and online, for the long haul.
We are a nonprofit. Some experts are suggesting newspapers and magazines can survive by becoming nonprofits. Fortunately, we've been a nonprofit from the beginning, which means we've had no owners demanding ever-growing returns on their investment. We just have to break even. And being a nonprofit means supporters can make donations that are tax-deductible.
We count on our readers' generosity. When YES! was founded, we knew that broad communication of our message of the positive possibilities for deep social change would require a great many people's support. You have come through with tremendous generosity and heart. In 2008 more than a thousand of you provided financial support beyond the subscription price. By the end of April 2009, a whopping 540 had become Dedicated Friends—providing monthly or quarterly donations that help stabilize our income. Thousands of you give gift subscriptions, acquainting friends and relatives with YES! Major donors and foundations provide critical support for outreach programs and new initiatives that enable us to innovate and grow.
We make print and Web work together. The Web can spread ideas quickly. But it's a fleeting medium. Print works best for in-depth examination of a topic. So we're using each medium to its best advantage. YES! Magazine provides the multifaceted exploration of where our society needs to move on topics as diverse as the economy, education, and peace and security. YES! online spreads our stories to a larger audience. We've particularly seen our timely "YES! Takes on the News" commentaries travel to many high-traffic sites, giving wide visibility to our solution-oriented journalism and acquainting a broad audience with YES! That exposure in turn brings in more subscriptions to the print magazine.
We partner with like-minded organizations. We love to feature the good work of other organizations advancing democracy, peace, social justice, and environmental sustainability. Some of those organizations want to introduce their members to YES! You can read about two of our partners here.
We keep expenses low. We go to great lengths to keep our costs down. We clean our offices ourselves, make use of donated equipment, and bring sleeping bags to our annual staff retreat. Our superbly talented staff works for salaries that are modest, even by nonprofit standards. And many important members of our team are volunteers and interns, working for free.
Will these five strategies be enough to survive and thrive in the digital age? I think they will. But I'm acutely aware that our success rests, as it always has, on the passion and generosity of you, our readers, and your commitment to supporting a voice that celebrates what we can all do to build a just and sustainable world.

Arizona Lilith Fair Cancelled. Go-Go's Said "Don't Go!"
Lilith Fair, the grrl-powered music festival founded by Sarah McLachlan, suffering lackluster ticket sales canceled their Arizona date. The GoGos were scheduled to headline.
The day after tickets went on sale GoGos' lead singer Belinda Carlisle posted this on her Facebook page:
AZ Central and Phoenix New Times both reported that Carlisle had posted on her Facebook page–an update since removed–that she wanted Lilith Fair organizers
to move the phoenix date in protest of the new immigration law in ARIZONA. the gogo's [sic] condemn the law and want the date moved.
Then last week the Go-Go's issued this press release:
The Lilith Fair date scheduled for July 8 in Phoenix has been canceled and refunds can be made at point of purchase. At this time, The Go-Go's have not been informed as to why the show was canceled. We regret the loss of the date on our farewell tour as we know we have many devoted fans in Arizona.
Well, yeah, I guess lips are sealed on the matter, but it's perfect storm of politics, economics and a bill that might not be that exciting.
Ticket ranged in price from $25 to $250 for the fest which featured Loretta Lynn, Heart, Norah Jones, Cat Power, La Roux, Sheryl Crow, Tegan and Sara, Erykah Badu, Brandi Carlile, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Meaghan Smith, Metric, and of course founder Sarah McLachlan.
I have mixed emotions about bands boycotting AZ. 1987, then-Governor Meacham issued a rescission of Martin Luther King Day and U2 was scheduled to kick off their Joshua Tree tour in Tempe. Rather than canceling the shows, the band made a contribution to the campaign to recall Meacham and had petitions and information booths on site.

Pleasant Mountain trail system, ca. 1950sItem 18887 info
Ski Museum of Maine
Projecting a positive image has always been part of the ski scene, and this publicity shot of a young woman posing on frozen Moose Pond, with Pleasant Mountain's ski trails in the background, reflects that concern.
Many of the photos in this exhibit were taken for publicity purposes.
Aerial view of Pleasant Mountain ski trailsItem 18916 info
Ski Museum of Maine
Pleasant Mountain's original ski slopes were located on the north side.
The "Old Blue" chair lift ran from the base area to a shoulder a few hundred feet north of the northernmost of the mountain's seven summits. Most of the trails lie to the west.

Ski Museum of Maine
The latest in lift technology was slow to arrive in Maine.
The first T-bar, a revolutionary and fairly inexpensive ski lift that was invented in the 1930s by Swiss engineer Ernest Constam, came to the Pine Tree State in 1953 when Pleasant Mountain installed one to serve the Main Slope.
Loading the main T-bar, Bridgton, ca. 1955Item 18886 info
Ski Museum of Maine
Pleasant Mountain's T-bar solidified the ski area's reputation as the most advanced in the state during the mid-1950s.
Mechanical uphill transport ended the era when skiers had to hike to the top of the mountain for each run or had to wear out their hands and arms by hanging on to fast-flying rope tows.
The T-bar opened vast new markets for skiing.

Ski Museum of Maine
The chair lift, the next level up in uphill transport, was invented in the 1930s for Sun Valley in Idaho.
Maine's first was installed in 1954 and further established Pleasant Mountain's reputation as the state's leading ski area.
Old Blue chairlift, Pleasant Mountain, ca. 1960Item 18885 info
Ski Museum of Maine
The Pleasant Mountain chair lift was painted a light blue color.
When new lifts were later installed, it was known as "Old Blue."
When it was replaced in 1984, many of the chairs were sold as souvenirs. Several remain in public view, including one at the Sports Haus in Bridgton and the other hung in a tree at a private home in Westbrook.

Ski Museum of Maine
Snow grooming technology kept pace with lift technology.
The Tucker Sno-Cat was the state-of-the-art grooming vehicle of the 1950s and 1960s.
Its main job was to tow a roller and pack down the snow after each major storm.
Lacing ski boots, Pleasant Mountain, ca. 1955Item 18907 info
Ski Museum of Maine
Ski boots were made of leather from the inception of the sport through the early 1970s, when plastics began to dominate the scene.
Then as now, a very, very tight fit aided performance, and lacing up leather boots was always a demanding task.

Extreme body angulation and skis so close together they almost touch were two of the key elements of the European "wedel" style of skiing that was taught in the 1960s.
This publicity shot features the head of Pleasant Mountain's ski school, Hans Jenni, demonstrating the technique.
Skiers, Pleasant Mountain, ca. 1960Item 18920 info
Ski Museum of Maine
In the sport's pioneer days, skiing was overwhelmingly an activity for very athletic young men.
As technology improved in the 1950s and 1960s -- especially with respect to equipment, lifts and trail maintenance -- millions of casual enthusiasts got into the act.
That's clearly the point of this publicity photo from about 1960.
Posing at Pleasant Mountain, Bridgton, ca. 1955Item 18910 info

This photo underscores the appeal that skiing held for women after many of the sport's rougher edges had been removed or at least buffed smooth.
Skiing became a social scene and the publicity photos from that period reflected that set of values.

July 4, 1776
Two Hundred Thirty years ago today, the Second Continental Congress formally approved what undoutably ranks as one of the greatest revolutionary political documents of all time, the Declaration of Independence. It was, when you think about it, an audacious act. The fifty-six men who signed that document were taking on the most powerful nation on Earth and, at the time, the most powerful Empire the world had ever known. Some might have called them fools. Had they failed, they would have been called traitors and hung from a tree. Today, we call them patriots.
America is unique among nations. For the first time in history, a nation was founded based on not conquest, or clan, or royal blood, or heavenly decree, but on an idea. And what an idea it was:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Human equality. Human freedom. Self-Government. And the right, some would say the duty, to overthrow a despot when those rights are violated. At the time, no other nation on Earth had even come close to upholding these ideas. While the United States was far from perfect itself — especially with regard to the treatment of blacks and women — it came close to that ideal than any other before or sense. And, because of its philosophical underpinnings, the contradictions that existed —- slavery being the most notable — were just that, contradictions that, eventually, would have to be corrected if America was to remain the nation she strived to be.
Once the American Revolution succeeded, the ideas that powered it spread across the world. To France, where they contributed to the downfall of a monarchy that had its roots in Charlemagne. And even to Mother England. Those ideas have continued to spread and inspire people from Eastern Europe to China (who can forget the statute of the Goddess of Freedom in Tiananmen Square, looking so much like our own Statute of Liberty ?). Today, if a despotic regime wish to keep those ideas from gaining hold among its population, it must effectively cut itself off from the rest of the world.
So, where does Amerrica stand after 230 years ? More importantly, what is the state of liberty ?
There is much to worry about. The modern American is far larger and far more intrusive than King George ever was. What's worse, it often seems like a large part of the American populace doesn't care about the continued loss of liberty at home, as long as the economy keeps booming and there's something entertaining to watch on television. Breads and circuses some would call it.
At the same time, there is cause for optimism. The near universal revulsion at last year's Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. New London showed me that, at heart, Americans guard their freedom jealously. But you can't just react when something bad happens, the fight for freedom continues on a daily basis. And, as usual, Thomas Jefferson said it best himself:
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
It does no good to speak up only when the grave threats to freedom become apparent, by then its usually too late.
But enough of that for now. Its the 4th of July, and, as another patriot, John Adams, wrote, its time to celebrate:
I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not
Couldn't have said it better myself.

Dear Santa,
I know you're a busy guy this time of year and you have a ton of mail to get through – almost all of it from children under 10. I'm hoping that because I am from a far less common demographic, men in their 40s, you might consider my letter in the interest of diversity.
Like the letters you received from my kids, I'm going to list several things I hope you can deliver – please bring as many as you can. It seems a bit selfish, I know, but I'm hoping this is just because as an adult I'm conditioned to give rather than request this holiday season. So I don't seem quite to selfish, I'll at least try and explain my list.
I think I've been pretty good this year and I should by on the "nice" list if so please bring me:
Anyway, that's my list. You may be surprised that for this demographic I didn't ask for a sports car, boat or younger woman - I'm guessing you get a lot of that. I know I've asked for a lot – probably too much – my understanding is that you have excellent toy manufacturing facilities at your disposal as that is your core business, but I'm hoping you may have some ability to get things done in the NFL. I'm sorry you were booed by Philadelphia fans – let me be the first to say that they do NOT represent all of us fans. Thanks for doing what you do – Merry Christmas.

Reader Matt K. provided this photo of his little eagle. Sort of captures the mood, doesn't it?
The defense played well considering the final score. The offensive line improved. The problem remains at QB. I understand that we have two bad options. But it is up to the staff to find something that works and also know when to pull the plug on one guy. Shinskie clearly didn't have it today. Did we have to give him so many possessions? If they still don't feel Rettig is mobile enough to play then I think you have to consider everything. Bordner? Flutie? Boek? A walkon. Whatever. But the whole thing is frustrating and makes these games hard to watch.
Hopefully watching it back will provide a few more slivers of hope. Grades and second viewing thoughts will be up late Sunday night.
At least it is officially hockey season.

By Lauralyn McDaniel, Industry Manager--Medical Manager, Innovation Watch, MicroManufacturing, Medical Manufacturing Innovations SME
Advancement in the way things are made is critical to the success of manufacturing. SME's Innovation Watch Committee showcases new and emerging technologies that are making a difference in manufacturing through the annual list of Innovations That Could Change the Way You Manufacture. These are innovations that can be used today or within a few months and have already shown some successful implementation.
While much of the tech world discusses the latest phone or computer, the SME Innovation Watch Committee discusses what makes that new gadget possible. They don't stop at what we can do today, but look to what is possible. The benefits of a Star Trek transporter compared to the Dr. Who Tardis have been actual discussions with this group. Looking through the 2013 Innovations That Could Change the Way You Manufacture and the Innovation Watch (more than a year away) lists, you might get a sense of how these discussions begin.
Innovations That Could Change the Way You Manufacture
Robotic Insects Inspire Mass Production Technique
When discussing this with a group of micromanufacturing professionals, the general response was "Wow!" Inspired by the fabrication of three-dimensional robotic insects, a method called Printed Circuit MEMS (PC-MEMS) has been created to mass-produce by the sheet in a fashion similar to pop-up books and origami micro scale devices. PC-MEMS combines advanced materials and geometries of conventional manufacturing with one-piece construction microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) below the sub-millimeter scale.
This approach provides an alternative to conventional manual assembly, occurring today with skilled artisans, tweezers, and microscopes. While insect-scale unmanned aerial vehicles are a direct application, PC-MEMS could be applied to a wide variety of advanced materials including exotic metals, carbon and glass composites, plastics, and ceramics.
Superhydrophobic Coatings Could Save Your Mobile Phone and More
After dropping an early smart phone in water a few years ago, I've wanted this. Inspired by lotus leaves and namib beetles, super hydrophobic coatings use surface roughness and chemistry to amplify water repellency. Capable of being applied to any surface and complex geometries, the coating can also have nearly perfect optical clarity. Like the lotus leaf, the coating also has a self-cleaning effect.
Applications include reducing metal corrosion, avoiding biofouling of medical devices, preservation of monuments and buildings, reduction of energy needed to pump fluids in pipe networks, moisture or ice-resistant barrier for avionics, and protective coatings for paint, furniture and art. Companies like Lotus Leaf Coatings manufacture both superhydrophobic and hydrophilic coatings based on the work done at Sandia National Labs, while other like NeverWet and Nokia are working on their own versions.
Welding Process Increases Use of Lightweight Materials for Increased Fuel Efficiency
Overcoming the challenge of welding aluminum can only increase its use in transportation to increase fuel efficiency. Multi-ring domed electrode for aluminum resistance spot welding is one way to do that. Developed by General Motors, it can be used for welding of aluminum sheet, extrusion, casting or combinations, and achieves high weld quality. Using standard resistance spot welding equipment and electrodes, a common weld gun can be used for welding either steel or aluminum.
For the transportation industry, the cost benefit is approximately $0.05/joint compared to self-piercing riveting. This savings helps to off-set the higher price of aluminum as well as providing strategic support of the global CO2 emission targets taking effect in 2020 & 2025.
Stronger, Lighter, and Cheaper with Carbon Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are powerful, tiny things. They are approximately 50,000 times thinner than a human hair with unique properties including high electrical and thermal conductivity. With a strength-to-weight ratio 117 times greater than steel, CNTs are the strongest and stiffest materials yet discovered. They have been in use for a few years, but made the 2013 list due to a price drop (from more than $1,000 a gram to as little as $50), creating a rapid growth of applications.
There are more than 100 CNT manufacturers and more than 1,000 organizations engaged in research and development. Commercialized products include step assists for GM, bumpers for Toyota, Wilson golf clubs and tennis racquets, Easton bicycle frames, and Samsung displays. Applications in development could improve energy use from more efficient solar cells and batteries to actual power generation. Others applications in development include targeted drug delivery systems, artificial muscles for robots and prosthetic limbs, bone scaffolds, oil spill cleanup processes, desalination filters, sensors that can detect chemical vapors or bacteria in drinking water, printable electronics, and flexible, transparent electronics.
Everyday Spectrometer: True Color Detection with Rainbow Polymer
My amateur artist mother and I would debate the "true" color of something. Having this innovation would have ended those discussions quickly. Used as a filter for light, this rainbow polymer could form the basis of handheld multispectral imaging devices that identify the "true color" of objects examined. Enabled by a one-step, low-cost holographic lithography method, rainbow polymer can significantly reduce the cost and size of the current state of the art multispectral analyzer from about $250 to $10/piece.
Accurate color detection, measuring spectral discrepancies in the nanometer range, has applications in anti-counterfeiting, remote sensing for military and defense applications, environmental, agricultural and climate monitoring, as well as microscopic bioimaging. The graded photonic bandgap (PBG) structure could be easily coated on cell phone cameras to analyze the real color of food, medicines, paints or cosmetics and end disagreements on what color it is.
Innovation Watch List
What's next? Here are the innovations in development that could have significant impact on how or what is manufactured.
• Aerovoltaic non-turbine wind energy--wind technology with no moving parts
• Manufacturing method for cheaper solar--high-rate, low-cost vapor deposition process to grow thin crystalline silicon directly on an inexpensive metal foil
• Air fuel synthesis--Carbon-neutral synthetic petrol from air-sourced CO2
• 3D Printing of Silicon Nanostructures--manufacture photonic and silicon micro-sensor products in low volumes at an affordable cost
• Robotic Self-Modeling--Self-aware robots could correct themselves and maintain high accuracy
• Ultrafast camera that sees around corners--allows imaging in areas that are inaccessible and inside hazardous environments
• Nanoscale light conduits—Use light to turn a mechanical switch on and off
• Quantum memory storage-–Using gaseous atomic vapor to store information
• Silicon surface patterns--Tiny inverted surface pyramids use less material and increases efficiency
• Metamaterials—materials that bend light could be used for solar cells, adhesive effects and more
SME Innovation Watch Committee:
• Boris Fritz, Engineer Senior Technical Specialist, Northrop Grumman Corporation Air Combat Systems
• Rod Jones, Chief Learning Officer, Mori Seiki Chicago Technical Center
• Christopher Kaye, Director of Technology Innovation, US Endoscopy
• Stephen Murree, Manager - Process & Product Innovation, Henninges Automotive
• Reuben Oder, C+D Community of Experts Leader, Procter & Gamble
• Jeff Samayoa, Senior R&D Engineer, General Mills
• Graham Tromans, Principal, GP Tromans Associates

Justice Elena Kagan has some exciting news: "I shot myself a deer."
New York City native Kagan revealed over the weekend that she and conservative colleague Justice Antonin Scalia have expanded their hunting forays.
Last year, "he said 'it's time for big-game hunting.' So we actually went out to Wyoming this past fall to shoot deer and antelope," Kagan said, revealing some rare inside information about the justices and their interactions with each other outside the court.
The newest member has become fast friends with one of the most conservative, and had earlier indicated they had been hunting for quail four or five times.
All this started when President Barack Obama nominated Kagan, 53, to the high court in 2010 and she made the rounds with senators. Many of those private meetings involved questions about her views on hot-button issues.
"The NRA (National Rifle Association) has quite a presence in judicial confirmations," Kagan told an audience at the Aspen Ideas Festival on Saturday.
"And quite a few senators ask you your views on the Second Amendment," she said.
While refusing to reveal how she would vote on such cases, Kagan promised to keep an open mind.
She previously revealed Sen. Jim Risch asked her about gun rights, remarking the nominee may not realize how important the issue is to some Americans.
Kagan admitted never having owned or fired a gun before.
"But I told the senator if I was fortunate enough to be confirmed, I would go hunting with Justice Scalia," she said.
And that promise has been kept, first joining him on an excursion to a Washington-area shooting range and then on several hunting trips.
Kagan's point in all this is to reinforce what few American believe of a court with five more conservative members and four who are more liberal.
"We get along remarkably well," she told the Aspen audience. "There are true and genuine friendships. It's true the (ideological) disagreements test people's capacity to work together, but to come back the next day and find your colleague just as delightful as you found him the day before -- we're all grownups and we manage to do that, and the court is full of great people," she said.
"We schmooze more than people think we do," she added.
What's next? Duck hunting, Kagan said.
'Hot Bench'
The current Supreme Court is considered a "hot bench" and not because of the courtroom temperature or the relative good looks of the nine justices.
"Hot" as in the spirited, often competitive oral arguments that have livened up -- or injected chaos into -- public sessions where important legal and constitutional issues are openly debated and discussed.
One person who thinks it is getting increasingly toasty is Chief Justice John Roberts, who said on Saturday that arguments have "gone too far."
"We do overdo it, the bench has gotten more and more aggressive," said the man who presides over those two-hour sessions. "Recent appointees have tended to be more active in questioning than the justices they replaced."
Roberts revealed his concerns at a judicial conference in West Virginia, saying he is often put into an uncomfortable position.
"I've had to act as an umpire in terms of the competition among my colleagues to get questions out," he said.
While not offering excuses, he does say one reason may be the nine justices do not discuss the cases among themselves before arguments.
"So when we get out on the bench it's really the first we begin to get some clues about what our colleagues think," he said. "We do tend sometimes to debate each other through counsel."
Justice Samuel Alito, who is relatively subdued on the bench, was more blunt about the interruptions of counsel, and justices speaking over each other.
"Trying to get in a question at oral argument is really like trying to grab an item that's on sale at Walmart the day after Thanksgiving," Alito said in his trademark deadpan manner two weeks ago, in a speech at the State Bar of Texas.
No joking
Justice Samuel Alito has long had a reputation of taking his job seriously. Unlike Chief Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, or Elena Kagan, he rarely jokes from the bench.
And for those who do not know him personally or covered him for any length of time, his personal demeanor can come off as harsh or overly intense.
Now some progressive groups have suggested Alito's recent behavior was a violation of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges.
The Washington Post and Atlantic magazine said he acted with "judicial intemperance" and "inexcusable rudeness" at the June 25 public session of the court.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, sitting next to Alito, was reading an oral dissent, criticizing the majority's ruling in a workplace discrimination case.
The isolated media reports said Alito, without speaking, rolled his eyes, shook his head, and looked at the ceiling.
The reporters claimed other incidents of "rude behavior" in the days prior when Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Kagan also spoke from the bench.
CNN did not witness the alleged incidents, but other justices have long been observed appearing a bit distracted when opinions are read in open session.
It is a process that can drag on for half-hour or more when the rest of the court must sit in silence.
The backdrop to all this involves Alito's public display during the nationally televised 2010 State of the Union Address by President Barack Obama.
Alito was among several conservative justices sitting just feet away, when the president attacked a majority ruling on campaign finance reform.
Cameras showed Alito appearing to mouth the words "not true" at Obama's assertion the opinion would open floodgates to uncontrolled corporate spending in federal elections.
The progressive Alliance for Justice now says Alito's demeanor last week suggested a disrespect for women.
"Perhaps Alito felt he could pull the same stunt again because this time, no one outside the courtroom actually would see his antics -- they could only be described by those who were there," said a blog posting by the group Monday.
Cameras are not allowed in the high court.
Those who know the 63-year-old New Jersey native are privately upset at suggestions Alito is personally antagonistic toward women, or to any of his colleagues.
Several people close to him told CNN Alito is a sensitive, thoughtful man, without affectation or animus. They also admit he possesses an often biting sense of humor.
In a letter to the editor published Friday in the Washington Post, two former law clerks called the media reports "character attacks" on the conservative justice.
"This suggestion is offensive and couldn't be further from the truth, as his many female clerks can attest," said William Ranney Levi and Dana Remus. "Those of us who have been fortunate to work closely with Justice Alito know that he is a good man who serves every day with humility, dedication and incredible intelligence and insight."
Alito himself had no comment on the reports.

Housing market may be better off left alone—economists
President Obama's proposal to expand access to mortgage refinancing has reignited a debate about the appropriate role for government in supporting the housing market. Some economists argue that the best way to spur the recovery is to stop intervening, let matters run their course, and allow home prices to normalize naturally.
The new initiative, briefly mentioned by the president in his jobs speech last week, seeks to help homeowners to refinance their mortgages at lower interest rates with hopes to stimulate consumer spending and boost economic growth……………………………………….Full Article: Source

A decade ago, I lived in a small town in Nova Scotia while working for csmonitor.com. Windsor had a population was about 3,500 and I don't imagine it's grown much since then. But even back then, I had high-speed broadband access, which at the time was almost unheard of in Boston. In fact, I used to joke with my Monitor co-workers that it was hard to visit them in Massachusetts because it meant my Internet speeds slowed down so much.
While broadband access has grown in the United States over the past 10 years, it's not as dramatic as you might think it is based on the TV commercials and direct-mail flyers trumpeting high-speed access.
In fact, a new report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) shows that the US ranked 15th out of 30 developed nations in 2007 when it comes to broadband penetration – a drop of three places from 2006. While the US has the largest number of broadband subscribers – about 70 million – only 23 percent of Americans subscribe to broadband.
The report also shows that Americans pay more, on average, for broadband connections than residents in 21 other OECD countries – and those connections run at slower advertised speeds than 13 other countries. In other words, the performance of US broadband service is pretty mediocre.
In the past, defenders of US broadband performance have argued that countries with a higher population density – more people living in closer quarters – have an easier time rolling out broadband services.
Well, as the guys on Car Talk would say, "Boooogus." Five countries with lower population densities than the US – Canada, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland – are beating the US when it comes to broadband penetration, the report says.
But it's not just broadband itself where the US is lagging behind much of the rest of the developed world. The next big step in broadband is fiber-to-the-home networks. Fiber cables can carry much more data into the home than the copper wires used by cable providers. The US ranks 11th in the world in fiber connections – about 1 percent of all households. Norway and Sweden, both with lower population densities, have a higher percentage. And the US number pales in comparison with South Korea (20 percent) and Japan (17 percent).
We keep hearing that high-speed connections are key to the future success for everything from the entertainment industry to government accountability to small business development. So why is the US doing such a so-so job?
One reason could be that the US doesn't have much of a national broadband policy. Earlier this year, FCC Commissioners Michael Copps and Jonathan Adelstein reportedly said they weren't sure if the US had such a policy.
The Bush administration, however, says it does have a policy: Keep the government from intervening and let the market decide. This approach is outlined in "Network Nation: Broadband in America 2007" a report from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
"Past experience teaches that when government tries to substitute its judgment for that of the market by favoring one product or vendor over another, it can easily divert investment and/or discourage research necessary to bring new and better products or services to market," the report said. "Given the rapid pace of technological change, such unintended effects can have long-term and far-reaching adverse consequences that extend across multiple sectors of the economy. For this reason, the administration has consistently and strenuously advocated for technology neutrality in order to take the government out of decisions more appropriately left to the marketplace."
But is this policy – or lack thereof – really helping the consumer? According to a report by Ars Technica on the 2007 study, there were 13 OECD countries with lower prices and greater government involvement. It'll be interesting to see what that figure is this year once the data is examined.
Critics say that all this shows that the US is not giving consumers adequate broadband choices. "The fact is that the countries outperforming the United States have something we lack: a coherent national broadband policy," S. Derek Turner, research director of Free Press, a media reform group, said in a statement after the release of the OECD report. "Policymakers who are serious about America's economic and social well-being should focus on the open access policies that bring the benefits of broadband to all Americans."
But that's not likely to happen under the present administration, so the US will probably drop farther down the list next year. Given that the current presidential candidates have widely hailed the Internet for boosting their campaigns, it will be interesting to see if a new broadband policy emerges next year.

If you are interested in engineering, you may pursue our dual degree program, which consists of three years of course work at Southwestern followed by approximately two years at an engineering school. You complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts, with the exception of the major requirement, and basic sciences and mathematics here. Southwestern awards the Bachelor of Arts degree after the completion of all of the requirements for the engineering degree.
You will receive the technical training of the engineer within the broader perspective of the liberal arts. Engineers must be aware of the social responsibilities of the profession and be able to assess and articulate the implications of new technologies. In fact, many engineering schools are adding more humanities courses, which are especially relevant as you move, in the course of a technical career, into decision-making positions.
Any course of rigorous study will prepare you well for admission to law school. Law schools are receptive to any major in the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and fine arts. A liberal arts education at Southwestern with broad exposure to a range of disciplines provides a strong background for law school. While there is no Pre-Law major here, there is an active Pre-Law Society and two trained pre-law advisers (Dr. Tim O'Neill and Dr. Kerry Bruns) to help students decide whether law school and the practice of law are something they wish to pursue.
Law schools seek applicants who can write well, think cogently, and handle and synthesize extensive reading assignments. Pre-law students should take courses that emphasize written and oral analysis, class discussion, and independent research. Students who take courses where these skills are developed and demonstrated become strong candidates for admission to law school.
Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Medicine
Medical, dental and veterinary schools have specific educational requirements that you must complete. Though not designated majors, pre-medicine, pre-dentistry, and pre-veterinary students at Southwestern are offered assistance through the Premedical Advisory Committee in planning their studies to match the courses required for admission to the professional school of their choice. For students who have worked with the committee to apply to professional programs in the past fifteen years, about 70% have been successful the first time they applied for admission.
While the majority of our pre-medical and pre-dental students have majored within the natural sciences, the requirements for medical professional school admission are equally qualitative and quantitative. Professional schools are looking for bright, highly motivated students who care about people, not simply for students with a specific major.
Students may also consider careers in allied health professions, for example Pharmacy, Optometry, Physical Therapy, or Physician Assistant.
If you are considering ministry as your vocation, you are encouraged to explore your faith and calling at Southwestern. The liberal arts education offered here provides excellent preparation for graduate theological education and ministry.
Academic internships, part-time work and summer experiences in ministry are encouraged. Pre-ministry students have the opportunity to meet informally, gather for conversation with the University Chaplain and participate in programs designed to meet their needs (for example: meeting with seminary admissions personnel, alumni in ministry and volunteer service.) Additionally, there are leadership roles in student religious organizations and religious life programs, including Chapel, that give you experiences that are helpful in developing your calling and preparing you for your future professional life.

Wprowadzenie do Zend Framework
Nauka Zend Framework
Przewodnik po Zend Framework
Zend_Search_Lucene component works with Java Lucene 1.4-1.9, 2.1
and 2.3 index formats.
Current index format may be requested using
call. It returns one of the following values:
Zend_Search_Lucene::FORMAT_PRE_2_1 for Java Lucene
1.4-1.9 index format.
Zend_Search_Lucene::FORMAT_2_1 for Java Lucene 2.1
index format (also used for Lucene 2.2).
Zend_Search_Lucene::FORMAT_2_3 for Java Lucene 2.3
index format.
Index modifications are performed only if any index update is done.
That happens if a new document is added to an index or index optimization is started
manually by
$index->optimize() call.
In a such case
Zend_Search_Lucene may convert index to the higher
format version. That always happens for the indices in
Zend_Search_Lucene::FORMAT_PRE_2_1 format, which are automatically
converted to 2.1 format.
You may manage conversion process and assign target index format by
$index->setFormatVersion() which takes
Zend_Search_Lucene::FORMAT_2_1 or
Zend_Search_Lucene::FORMAT_2_3 constant as a parameter:
Zend_Search_Lucene::FORMAT_2_1 actually does nothing
since pre-2.1 indices are automatically converted to 2.1 format.
Zend_Search_Lucene::FORMAT_2_3 forces conversion to the
2.3 format.
Backward conversions are not supported.
Once index is converted to upper version it can't be converted back. So make a backup of your index when you plan migration to upper version, but want to have possibility to go back.
Zend_Search_Lucene object uses the destructor method to
commit changes and clean up resources.
It stores added documents in memory and dumps new index segment to disk depending on
MaxBufferedDocs parameter.
MaxBufferedDocs limit is not reached then there are some "unsaved"
documents which are saved as a new segment in the object's destructor method. The index
auto-optimization procedure is invoked if necessary depending on the values of the
MaxMergeDocs and
Static object properties (see below) are destroyed after the last line of the executed script.
class Searcher {
private static $_index;
public static function initIndex() {
self::$_index = Zend_Search_Lucene::open('path/to/index');
All the same, the destructor for static properties is correctly invoked at this point in the program's execution.
One potential problem is exception handling. Exceptions thrown by destructors of static objects don't have context, because the destructor is executed after the script has already completed.
You might see a "Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0" error message instead of exception description in such cases.
Zend_Search_Lucene provides a workaround to this problem with the
commit() method. It saves all unsaved changes and frees memory
used for storing new segments. You are free to use the commit operation any time- or
even several times- during script execution. You can still use the
Zend_Search_Lucene object for searching, adding or deleting
document after the commit operation. But the
commit() call
guarantees that if there are no document added or deleted after the call to
commit(), then the
destructor has nothing to do and will not throw exception:
class Searcher {
private static $_index;
public static function initIndex() {
self::$_index = Zend_Search_Lucene::open('path/to/index');
public static function commit() {
// Script shutdown routine


text: Earlier this week, I lurked around and found an eye-catching article about NetDragon's free-to-play new title Conquer Online 3. As a loyal gamer to the current version of Conquer Online a couple of years ago, I have some nostalgic thoughts about me and my friends having fun in the game. The main reason that kept me away from it is the uncountable and ridiculous updates, which actually ruined the essence of it. But in the article, NetDragon has it that the updates so amiss will be abandoned, which means Talismans & Battle Power will be removed. (Hooray!). The article also has it that the graphic will be improved upon, and most importantly compared to Diablo 3, which costs you 59.99 bucks and not yet has PvP feature implemented, this game stays free-to-play and has PvP actions! As a wizard in Diablo 3, I smelt some movements towards the RMAH update, so I would rather take a shot at this new title Conquer 3 when it's released. What do you think? Oh, for the ones who show some interest in this ol' new game, here's the article: http://mmoattack.com/mmorpg-news/netdragon-announces-conquer-online-3/

Persistent Boy Demands Officer Give His Badge Number After Catching Him Illegally Parked [VIDEO]
A police officer's job is to serve and to protect.
And to fend off pesky kids.
In this video shot last September, a 12-year-old boy in Las Vegas takes issue with a cop who parked his car on the sidewalk while he went into a store to grab a drink.
The boy, identified as Jeremy, pesters the officer for his badge number because he feels the civil servant acted improperly with his parking job.
The officer refuses to give his number, even though Jeremy claims he has a right to the information. What's more, the policeman asks Jeremy to show him some ID.
