Jermain Defoe began his month-long Tottenham Hotspur farewell with a first Barclays Premier League goal this season in the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
The England striker's February move to MLS side Toronto FC was confirmed on Friday, and he was greeted warmly by the White Hart Lane faithful before finding a typically assured finish to secure a fourth victory in five unbeaten league outings under new boss Tim Sherwood.
It might have been a very different story had Jason Puncheon not missed from the penalty spot in a first half that Palace dominated, their front two of Marouane Chamakh and Cameron Jerome providing a constant threat.
Christian Eriksen's third goal in four league matches settled the nerves of the home fans, who were then able to salute their soon-to-be-departed striker.
Sherwood named an unchanged Tottenham Hotspur XI, while Jonathan Parr started at left-back for Palace, allowing Joel Ward to revert to midfield in Kagisho Dikgacoi's absence.
Spurs were caught cold by a fast start from their visitors, who should have taken the lead in the eighth minute. Mousa Dembele clattered through Chamakh after Damien Delaney had unpicked the home defence with staggering ease, the Lilywhites midfielder conceding a clear penalty, only for Puncheon – who almost fell over after colliding with referee Michael Oliver when pacing out his run-up – to blaze high and wide.
Palace again sabotaged their impressive work when Chamakh rose unchallenged to meet Puncheon's right-wing corner. The former Arsenal man looked destined to score until team-mate Mile Jedinak clattered into his back and the resulting header looped over.
Chamakh was frustrated by the presence of one of his colleagues once more as Spurs flailed under another set-piece delivery, Yannick Bolasie inadvertently blocking his goalbound volley.
Nabil Bentaleb, making his first Barclays Premier League start in midfield for Tottenham, then rattled the inside of the post with a blistering 34th-minute drive that then flashed agonisingly across the goalmouth – the closest Sherwood's men came in a half in which they were second best.
That was certainly not the case when the action resumed as Bentaleb's midfield colleague Eriksen shook off an anonymous opening 45 minutes to give his side a 50th-minute lead.
Two minutes earlier a combination of Delaney and Parr had scrambled clear when Eriksen caused panic in the Palace area with a weaving run, but they could do nothing to thwart the Danish playmaker when Emmanuel Adebayor's flick from Kyle Naughton's ball dropped for him to lash left footed into the roof of the net.
Defoe was afforded a rapturous reception upon his 58th-minute introduction for Roberto Soldado – Sherwood's second change of the half after Kyle Walker had limped off to be replaced by Naughton, and the Canada-bound forward made an immediate impact, twisting and turning to thread a shot just beyond the far post, an effort Adebayor agonisingly failed to meet with a decisive touch.
Defoe was not to be denied his goal though, as he evaded Parr's attentions to lift Aaron Lennon's 73rd-minute pass into the net.
Jedinak, substitute Adlene Guedioura and Chamakh all went close in a spirited finish from Palace but the Eagles could not find a way back.
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Tim Sherwood: "Crystal Palace did not look like a team who are struggling at the bottom of the league. They might sit but it was the opposite and they should have been ahead at half-time.
"They looked like they played with more desire which we spoke about at the half-time. We have a group of lads who are very talented but unless you marry that with desire you won't get the results. If you don't show desire your ability counts for nothing. Second half we picked that up.
"We took it to the opposition after the break. It was a typical Jermain Defoe finish. He's pounced on it and stuck. I'll be sorry to lose Jermain. Toronto are getting a fine goalscorer. I don't think there are many better goalscorers than Jermain out there."

FRANKFORT, Ky. (2/8/14) – Governor Steve Beshear recently announced he will lead a Kentucky Export Initiative trade mission to the United Kingdom.
The trade mission is set for May 11-16 and will focus on increasing commerce, promoting travel and tourism, and building business relationships between Kentucky and the United Kingdom.
The KEI delegation will make stops in London and Manchester.
"We do a tremendous amount of business with the UK, exporting more than a billion dollars in products and services a year, but there is plenty of room to grow," said Beshear. "This trade mission will give Kentucky businesses the opportunity to have one-on-one meetings, build relationships to increase sales and explore one of Europe's most established markets."
Trip set for May 11-16 to Kentucky's third largest export destination; businesses encouraged to register now.
The United Kingdom has the sixth-largest economy in the world, and with few trade barriers, it is a popular entry market into the European Union.
Kentucky exported more than $1.6 billion in products and services to the United Kingdom last year, a more than 20 percent increase from 2012.
Top exports include aerospace and pharmaceuticals products.
Kentucky exports to the United Kingdom have played a key role in boosting the Commonwealth's economy.
In the first 11 months of 2013, Kentucky's exports of products and services to the United Kingdom generated $839 million for Kentucky's GDP, supported more than 10,000 jobs in the Commonwealth, and created $69 million in state and local taxes for Kentucky.
Kentucky tourism officials will participate in the trip and visit media, tour operators and others to discuss tourism opportunities in Kentucky. Tourism has a $12.2 billion annual economic impact in Kentucky.
The trip follows another record export year for Kentucky in 2013.
Exports of Kentucky-made products and services during the first 11 months of 2013 totalled a record $23 billion.
Kentucky exports to approximately 199 nations, and the United Kingdom consistently comes in as the third largest destination for Kentucky products and services behind only Canada and Mexico.
The visit will be KEI's second trade and investment mission. Beshear led a delegation to Canada in June 2013.
Beshear created the KEI to bring together agencies and organizations to help facilitate international trade opportunities for Kentucky businesses.
Comprised of government entities, business organizations and trade experts, the KEI partnership includes the Cabinet for Economic Development; Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet; Kentucky Association of Manufacturers; World Trade Center Kentucky; Kentucky Association for Economic Development; the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce; U.S. Commercial Service; Kentucky Small Business Development Center; Bluegrass Economic Advancement Movement; Northern Kentucky International Trade Association; Commerce Lexington; Greater Louisville Inc. and the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce.
Companies interested in participating in the trade mission are encouraged to act quickly due to limited spacing.
For more information and to register, visit www.kyexports.com.
Some companies may be eligible for grant assistance for business and export development services through the Bluegrass Economic Advancement Movement's (BEAM) Kentucky Export Promotion program.
More information on this program can be found at http://www.louisvilleky.gov/beam.
"The trade mission is a great opportunity for participants to take advantage of networking opportunities with government and industry leaders," said Larry Hayes, secretary of the Cabinet for Economic Development.
"Kentucky has the potential to reap increasingly significant economic benefits from international visitors, and the UK continues to be a top target market," said Bob Stewart, secretary of the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet. "Bourbon, horses and the great outdoors are especially appealing to this market of potential travelers, many of whom are well versed with the United States but are looking beyond the usual destinations they have been to in the past. The timing is perfect for us to see an increase in international visitors, especially from the UK."

BMW 3 Series GT to debut in Paris
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Aug 14th, 2012 at 1:59PM
This year's Paris Motor Show is shaping up to be an interesting one. Autocar reports BMW is planning to show off the production version of the upcoming 3 Series Gran Turismo next month. Word has it the five-door will offer buyers a long-wheelbase version of the 3 Series they know and love along with love-it-or-loathe-it styling borrowed from the 5 Series GT. BMW hasn't served up much in the way of details, but the report indicates the 3GT will be a bit shorter than the Chinese-market 3 Series Li, which spans just under 115 inches from bumper to bumper. The model will also share... Read More

Comments about Violet WhisperLite® Wig by Paula Young®:
As a 7-year veteran of ordering and wearing Paula Young wigs, I am always looking for different looks. Violet is so real looking and very spunky. I am 71 years old and refuse to look like an old lady with thinning hair. I change my looks with different wigs but Violet was so great I just ordered two more for backups. Nice fit and it is so easy to style. Windy days can't hurt it. Thank you Paula Young!!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

8/23 in Yankee History
2003: Baltimore beats Mike Mussina and the Yankees 7-2 behind Rodrigo Lopez's complete game. Jay Gibbon has a homer and a double. Before the game' the Yankees retire number 49 in honour of Ron Guidry. The Yanks shower their former captain with gifts including an SUV' a tractor' golf clubs' a ring and even throw in some mountain bikes for Guidry's kids. Guidry' who hates to fly' was given five round trip train tickets from his home in Louisiana to New York.
1999: The Yankees score 6 runs in the 1st inning on their way to a 21-3 rout of the Rangers. Scott Brosius and Joe Girardi – the 8th and 9th batters in the NY lineup – drive in 65 and 7 runs respectively. Derek Jeter scores his 100th run of the year' the 1st Yank to string together 4 straight seasons of 100+ runs since Mickey Mantle did it in 9 straight campaigns (1953-61).
1996: The Yankees obtain pitcher Graeme Lloyd (below) and former Rookie of the Year Pat Listach from the Brewers in exchange for outfielder Gerald Williams and pitcher Bob Wickman. Lloyd is immediately put to work and provides late inning relief as the first-place Yankees beat the A's' 5-3. The Yanks will officially complain to the AL that the Brewers sent damaged goods in the 2 players' but the complaint is ignored. However' the Brewers will take back
Listach and send Ricky Bones to the Bronx on the 29th. The Yanks will file a grievance over Lloyd's injury next month and the Brewers will send minor leaguer Danny Perez as compensation. Lloyd will go on to excel in the post-season when the Yankees win their first World Series since 1978.
1977: Behind Mickey Rivers' 5-for-5 day and Mike Torrez's 7th straight complete game contributing to an 8-3 defeat of the White Sox' the Yanks take over first place in the AL East. With the Red Sox losing' the Yankees go ahead by a half game and will stay in first place to the end.
1964: The Yankees, currently in third place, launch the hot streak that will carry them to the pennant, as they beat the Red Sox at Fenway 4-3 – they will win 26 of their next 33. Mickey Mantle opens the scoring with a towering two-run blast off Earl Wilson.
1956: Despite Mickey Mantle's bunt single, triple, and home run in the nightcap, the White Sox, led by Nellie Fox's seven straight hits, take both ends of a doubleheader at the Stadium, 8-3 and 6-4.
1948: Ron Blomberg, the first Yankee designated hitter (and the first DH in Major League history to bat) is born. Happy 64th, Ron!
1942: Walter Johnson pitching to Babe Ruth is the pregame attraction that draws 69'000 for the New York-Washington game at the Stadium that provides $80'000 for Army-Navy relief. The Babe hits the fifth pitch into the right-field stands' and then adds one more shot before circling the bases. Sixteen relief games contribute $523'000 during the season. In the doubleheader between the Senators and the Yankees, the Senators win the opener 7-6, and New York cop the nitecap 3-0 in 5 1/2 innings.
1935: After hitting a homer in the 5th against the Browns, Lou Gehrig connects in the 13th with 2 aboard to give the Yankees a 6-3 win.
1930: The Yankees buy Frank Crosetti from the San Francisco Seals but allow him to play another season in the PCL before reporting. The Yanks will make a similar arrangement for Joe DiMaggio, buying him from the Seals but waiting a year before acquiring him in 1936.
1928: The rained-out Yankees pick up Tom Zachary on waivers from Washington for $7'500. Zachary will take the place in the starting rotation normally occupied by Herb Pennock currently down with an attack of neuritis. To make room for the lefty' New York release veteran spitballer Stan Coveleski.
1920: In the Yankee clubhouse at the Polo Grounds, Carl Mays (below) is waiting to make his first appearance since the fatal beaning of Ray Chapman' when a clubhouse boy delivers a note from Ty Cobb. It reads: "If it was within my power' I would have inscribed on Ray Chapman's tombstone these words: 'Here lies a victim of arrogance' viciousness and greed'". Though nervous in the early innings' Mays shuts out the Tigers to win 10-0. He then issues a statement to answer his critics on the Tigers and Red Sox: "Both those clubs have pitchers who have hit more men this year than I have". Mays has hit six' but Boston's Joe Bush (10) and Detroit's Howard Ehmke (9) have more plunkings.

3. Component Requirements, Constraints, and Acceptance Criteria
- Create an easy and common API to fetch messages from mail storages.
- Make it possible to access additonal functionality of mail storages without coding for one specific mail storage (via capabilities).
- Make the transport class reusable and add not additional logic to the protocol.
- Split MIME decoding in its own class without changing existing mail and mime classes.
- Map mail reading functions to PHP with Zend_Mail_List (implementing all the funky interfaces for accessing the mail storage as array and iteration)
- obey the standards
- be lax with received data without violating the standards
4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components
- Zend_Exception
- Zend_Mime - for decoding and as base for message class
5. Theory of Operation
The class has no internal logic. It's used to collect all decoding functions as static methods
for mime and mail classes. Normally this methods would be used by other framework components.
The classes are divided in:
- transport classes
- mail classes
- message classes
All mail messages are stored in a message storage. If the
storage is external (not read from a file resource) a transport
class is used to translate the used protocol in PHP structures.
Based on this classes are the mail classes, or if an internal
storage is used the mail classes can read directly from the
storage. These classes extend an abstract mail class defining
the common interface.
Each message is returned as message class, which can be specialized
to support mail storage specific functions like late fetching of
the whole message or parts of a message.
If the message is a multipart message it can return each part, which
could itself be multipart.
Zend_Mail_List translates the interfaces, which the PHP engine needs, to the
mail reading APIs. ArrayAccess and Countable are implemented to access
a specific message and count all messages. Iterator is used for iterating
over all messages.

Mbox and POP3 can already be seen and tested. Code is in current incubator: http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/trunk/incubator/library/Zend/Mail/

Examples: http://nico.edtinger.at/pub/2006/examples/

and the tests: http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/trunk/incubator/tests/Zend/Mail/

Would these classes understand the on-disk file and directory naming formats and conventions used by Maildir and IMAP implementations like Courier and Dovecot?

http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/MailDir

Aug 21, 2006

At our company we want to use the maildir class to replace our IMAP server (at least for the most common tasks) - AFAIK we're using a Courier. I use Dovecot for testing, so expect the first implementation to work at least with that server/format <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />

At first I thought about having maildir readonly like mbox, but it's not that complicated with the locking issues and adding/removing messages, so I'm already sure we want to add nearly all functionality as in the IMAP class (except stuff like searching).

PS: Sorry to all commenters for the late replies. Had holiday and needed so time to catch-up.

<ac:macro ac:name="note"><ac:parameter ac:name="title">Zend Comments on Zend_Mail_Read</ac:parameter><ac:rich-text-body>

We are accepting this proposal and offer the following feedback:

Not Zend_Mail_Transport; use Zend_Mail_Storage instead

These are not really transports (i.e., used for transporting mail), but storage containers/formats. Zend_Mail_Abstract then would also become Zend_Mail_Storage_Abstract.

Merge Zend_Mail_List and Zend_Mail(_Storage)_Abstract

Each storage container needs the ability to count and iterate over messages. Since Zend_Mail_List simply implements several interfaces and uses values in Zend_Mail(_Storage)_Abstract to implement the functionality, merge the classes.

Need clarification

Could this be eliminated in favor of Zend_Mail? or extend Zend_Mail to define the transport methods (send(), setDefaultTransport()) as unusable and allow decoding of message parts (for that matter, could the differences in Zend_Mail and Zend_Mail_Message be merged)? Basically, I'm not certain if a new class is needed here.

declare as 'abstract'

Zend_Mail_Storage_* classes that support trees

have each implement RecursiveIterator

This would make traversing more intuitive when using nested folders (ala IMAP or Maildir)

Aug 21, 2006

Zend_Mail_List.

Sure merging it is the best solution. It only was a seperate class, because it wasn't clear if it fits the ZF (back in spring - a long time ago <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />)

declare as abstract

Isn't it already? Did I miss something?

RecursiveIterator

That could be added to Zend_Mail_Abstract. Even the Mbox class can support folders, given a base dir. POP3 would be the only exception. With the hasFolder flag we can check in the current instance if folders are supported.

Transport vs. Storage

Currently the transport classes really only impemented the network/protocol stuff. Mbox and Maildir both have no Mail_Transport_... class. We could:

Move Zend_Mail_* classes to Zend_Mail_Storage_* and keep the Zend_Mail_Transport_* classes

Move as above and merge Zend_Mail_Tranport_* with Zend_Mail_Storage_*

Just rename Zend_Mail_Transport_* to Zend_Mail_Storage_* and keep the Zend_Mail_* classes

I like the way it's now because the transport classes really only handle handle getting messages/data from the server and "new Zend_Mail_Pop3(...);" isn't too long to write. However I'll follow any order.

Naming issues, duplicated classes

I guess Zend_Mail_Message should be a Zend_Mime_Message object. But I have problems using Zend_Mime_Message and Zend_Mime_Part, because they are too specific and were made for sending messages. My approach would have been to use Zend_Mail_Message and Zend_Mail_(Message_)Part and merge them with the Zend_Mime_* classes later.

Also both classes should be extendable so we can implement "late fetch" for the different mail storage implementations. I though about returning an empty Zend_XXX_Message_Pop3 class in Zend_Mail_Pop3::getMessage() and load headers and body when needed. It would also allow an easy copy to a stream (like in "save attachment to file ...").

Aug 08, 2006

Note that both POP3 and IMAP have non-standard "extensions" allowing the transmission of emails. For POP3, Eudora, Qpopper, and CommuniGate support the "xtnd xmit" extension. I'm not sure about the popularity of this extension.

Some IMAP servers also support sending mail using a convention that moving a message to the "outbox" initiates sending it. Numerous forces are at work to push IMAP towards facilitating composition and sending of emails:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4469
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4468.txt
http://flyingfox.snowshore.com/i-d/lemonade/
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/lemonade-charter.html

Even if support for sending emails were included (low priority), I'd still expect different classes for the synchronization of messages and a mechanism to actually send an email.

For those new to PHP's SPL classes, and the RecursiveIterator class, see this short introduction to this implementation of tree traversal, but notice the typo for "implements RecursiveIteratorIterator", which should be "implements RecursiveIterator": http://wiki.cc/php/RecursiveIterator

Aug 21, 2006

The current POP3 class only supports the most simple and common standard and no nice-to-haves. It even ignores the capabilities for TOP and instead just tries to send that command, because you may to it. Also some mail hoster aren't honest with their CAPA response - i.e. we had GMX, which does support TOP but doesn't say so in the capas.

The IMAP class will support message storage. It's also needed for moving a message to trash or coping a message from a different mail storage. It should be easy to add a class for mail sending best on the IMAP class.

For other extensions I'd say let's get the simple things done and then see what fits the 80/20 rule and would be a useful addition.

Aug 24, 2006

After playing with this for a bit, there is one thing that's really annoying. When I have a Zend_Mail_Message, there is no way to get back the original raw data that was used to instantiate the object and split into header and content components.

This is especially annoying since if I'm using Zend_Mail_Mbox and I am pulling out a message, the Zend_Mail_Message object is returned, which is nice, but prevents me from being able to get at the raw source of the email.

Please allow Zend_Mail_Message to maintain the original text. This could be a flag that is set somewhere when constructing the object. Thanks and I hope someone else agrees

Aug 28, 2006

Sounds like you want a method Zend_Mail_Message::getRaw(). Would definitely be handy for saving a copy of i.e. a Pop3 storage to a maildir. A flag to getMessage() seems more like a functional approach - a new method feels more OO <ac:emoticon ac:name="wink" />

It would also work great with the steam methods I'm planing. So you could call Zend_Mail_Message::getRawSocket() and use that to save the whole message content to a file with a stream to stream copy.

Does that sound acceptable to you? Thanks for your input.

Aug 28, 2006

Sounds good to me. The reason for the flag would be to include/exclude the raw message functionality and overhead. For example, if you don't care about the raw message, there's no reason to keep it around in-memory. But yes, if you add the getRaw() method, that would be awesome. Thanks

Jan 03, 2007

for classes suggested in the Mail_Transport_* they only implements the net/protocol, i believe that would have in the following way: Zend_Net_* (Pop3, Imap, Smtp...). In similar way to PEAR, this is util for other components of framework that also they use sockets, as Zend_Mail_Transport_Smtp, Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Proxy (in the Incubator)

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.networking.net-pop3.php

Mar 18, 2009

This hasn't been worked on in quite some time. I'm archiving it for now.
