This is a brilliant analysis. As a female player, I completely agree. There definitely is a problem with the player base, and it is an alienation problem that is (unfortunately) currently supported by the average female champion. Maybe that's why I tend to gravitate to characters like Lux, Annie, and Orianna. I don't have an issue with sexualized characters, really, (my favorite ADC is MF and I think she is so cute!) but every time I see "nice ****, Sona" or "I wanna **** that Ahri" in game chat when I'm playing these characters...that bothers me. It is way too much like someone saying that to us in real life.

I wonder how good of a sell an egotistical female champion would be lol... I dunno about a female draven
Adumbro Deus
I'm not sure how much the opinion matters, but my girlfriend has absolutely not problem how the females look in this game. I can't believe that this game has degraded into something that's not about having fun and gameplay and rather something about how many curves and breasts a character is showing. There's a fair array of all kinds of champions. Sexy females, sexy males, monsters, yordles, etc. They're all rationalized by the percentage of people who play, so obviously making 50% of your game sexy males would bring about a much larger outrage than if you had attractive females. Though, obviously, these arguments will still happen. I don't understand how you could say you would rather play Olga, The Chunky Barmaid than Riven and be like, "holy $#@#, she's so different, I must own her and all of her skins." So the question is why would somebody make a character/skin that isn't appealing when they can create a much more likeable champion with a similar moveset to Olga? As much as I understand Riot wanting to please everybody and trying to work hard to meet the needs of everybody, becoming conservative about things like breasts, butts, and curves is much like China bans blood and skulls. It's ridiculous.

Blue police barricades set the stage on Saturday as nearly 75 protesters, made up of Trade Fair meat department union workers and supporters, took to the street outside the supermarket chain's headquarters in Astoria to rally for their jobs back.
"I want to see this resolved. Put us back to work; let's go," said Richard Findlay a meat department manager at Trade Fair who has been with the company since 1993.
Approximately 100 United Food and Commercial Workers Local 342 union members have been locked out by company owner Farid Jaber, known as Frank, and management after refusing their demand for an "unconditional return to work" by employees.
The lock out is the company's response to workers going on strike on March 13. Employees alleged unfair practices including "abusive" and "out-of-control" scare tactics used against employees during contract negotiations in the last few weeks. The actual strike only lasted a couple hours, then they were locked out.
In Trade Fair's proposed contract, the company presented wage freezes, reduced hours, cuts to healthcare coverage and discontinued premium pay of time-and-a-half on Sundays.
"We have members all over New York and New Jersey who are standing with you, shoulder to shoulder, brothers and sisters, standing strong with you at Trade Fair," Kate Meckler, communications director for UFCW Local 342, said to the crowd, relaying words from union President Richard Abondolo via phone.
Trade Fair has hired replacement workers to work in all nine Queens supermarket locations amid the lockout. As far as UFCW Local 342 is concerned, this practice is illegal, and charges have been filed with the National Labor Relations Board as a result.
"I need to work. I have to pay my bills, pay my rent," Eunice Izquierdo said during the rally.
Izquierdo, a mother of three, has worked in the meat department of Trade Fair for 23 years in all store locations and has the added pressure of supporting her children's financial needs with her salary.
"That's why I need my job back," she added.
UFCW Local 342 is working with Trade Fair on a contract, and, according to a union spokesperson, has reached out to a federal mediator to aid in the process.
The supermarket workers are supported by Councilman Danny Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) and Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras (D-East Elmhurst), who both rallied alongside 50 union members on Monday, at another protest held outside Trade Fair's East Elmhurst location demanding the lockout to end.
Now another strong proponent has stepped up to advocate support in the worker's fight for a "fair contract" — Council Speaker and mayoral hopeful Christine Quinn (D-Manhattan), who released a statement following Monday's event.
"No one should be penalized for standing up for his or her own rights ... we urge all parties to negotiate in good faith and respect the collective bargaining process," Quinn stated.
"These jobs are an important part of what makes New York City a vibrant and attractive place where people want to make their homes and raise families," Quinn added.
Trade Fair has posted signs on its storefronts addressing allegations it deems as unjust after the union posted a video on March 15 to its Facebook and Twitter pages. In it goats were piled on the floor of a delivery truck and subsequently placed into a shopping cart upon removal outside the Jackson Heights store location.
"UFCW Local 342 has been lying to our customers about our meat products. Our meats are fresh quality and properly labeled," the sign reads.
The company took to its website, tradefairny.com, to plead directly to their customers in a news update posted on March 25.
"We want to assure you that our stores remain open for business; all of our other employees continue to report to work. They understand that this strike jeopardizes our stores and all of the jobs ... We appreciate your faith in us and your continued patronage. We know you have a choice. Thank you for choosing Trade Fair, " the post reads.
Father of five Jason Scott, a Trade Fair butcher for 18 years, attended the rally on Saturday and is using his struggle as a teachable moment for his children.
"Some of my kids are here right now with us; they're supporting us. For their future, we're trying to explain to them that it is very important for them to stand up for what's right," Scott said.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Rico!
Facts about Rico
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Rico's Info...
I am already neutered, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Call 813-930-5553 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information or to meet Rico!
Rico is a young (2.5yr), male, Jack Russell mix who weighs about 15lbs. He is such a happy, fun, intelligent little dog who is active, but also enjoys his snuggle time. He would make a great playmate if your current dog is looking for a friend. He especially loves female dogs. Rico is great with older kids (and young ones who are respectful), knows basic commands, walks well on a leash and is a superstar in his basic dog training class. He enjoys long walks on the beach, swimming and then snuggling up in your lap for nap time. Rico is ready to find his forever home with his new pack leader. Will it be with you?
Rico is neutered, microchipped, heartworm free and up to date on vaccines. His adoption fee is $75.
Other Pets at New Horizon Dog Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Rico, a St Petersburg Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua for sale in St Petersburg, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in St Petersburg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in St Petersburg already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a St Petersburg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in St Petersburg paves the way for another one to be saved.

Yankees Edge Out West Coast Opponents, Look to Gain Ground on AL East This Week
If you're like me, you lose valuable sleep hours when the Yankees play on the west coast. The difference this time was that most of the games were actually worth staying up for.
When the Yankees arrived on the Pacific coast, they were reeling from a 3-7 stretch in their last ten, losing series to the Twins, A's, and Royals, with a 10-2 laugher makeup loss to the Mariners thrown in. Suffice it to say that the Yankees weren't exactly looking forward to facing two of those same teams, and on the west coast, no less.
But when all was said and done, the Yankees walked away with a 5-4 west coast trip. Not too bad, all things considered.
The Mariners series and the first game against the A's were characterized by the kind of pitching Joe Girardi has been hoping to get all season: quality starts from the rotation each day, and nearly flawless pitching from the bullpen. Especially notable were Masahiro Tanaka's second complete game win on Wednesday (he has the only two for the Yanks this season), Chase Whitley's second career win on Thursday, and David Phelps' scoreless performance in 6 2/3 innings on Friday.
Unfortunately, the series ended on a sour note: On Saturday, Hiroki Kuroda was inconsistent and the offense was nonexistent in a 5-1 loss, and Vidal Nuno returned to his old ways on Sunday, getting knocked out of a 10-5 blowout after only three innings.
The bright side is that, as New York fans fell asleep during the after-hours games, Yankee bats began to wake up. They were 40-for-140 (.287) during their four-game winning streak. However, the average dwindled down to .188 (12-for- 64) in their two losses to the A's.
This week the Yankees will play what many consider their first two crucial series of the season. On Tuesday the 10-1 Tanaka will kick off a three-game set at home versus the Blue Jays, whom the Yankees are chasing in the AL East. They are currently four and a half games back, tied with the Orioles, who just happen to be their next competitors this weekend.
No doubt Girardi is looking for the same formula that carried his team throughout the first half of their west coast trip: quality pitching and solid bats. It would behoove the Yankees to go at least 4-2 in their next six games. And that shouldn't be too much to ask, considering their lineup is devoid of injuries at this point, and they have generally garnered fairly good pitching from their starters and bullpen.

Rome Agent
The Rome Agent kicks major ass all over the mountain. I have the 06, 158cm Rome Agent, and it takes everything I throw at it. Trails, rails, boxes, jumps, whatever there is to be ridden. It has tons of snap, pop, and is very buttery. If you are looking for something that will be an all out slayer in the park and will still kill on the grooms, this snowboard should be on your list to pick from.

As Damon and Affleck explain in the first promo for their revived docuseries Project Greenlight—returning to HBO after an 11-year absence—they're not looking for screenplay submissions this time around. Instead, the new Greenlight will focus only on the trials and tribulations of a first-time director making a major motion picture. (Their pick will be helming a "Hollywood-vetted script;" no other details about the film have been released yet.)
Matt Damon to make first appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' since hijacking the show

Damon will be joined by his fellow castmates from Feb. 7's big-screen drama The Monuments Men, including George Clooney (who hasn't had a sit-down appearance on JKL since its premiere 11 years ago), Bill Murray (who's never been on the show), John Goodman, Cate Blanchett, and Bob Balaban.

Elton John to perform Liberace tribute at Emmys
The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards will be graced by a knight in shining spectacles this year: Sir Elton John is scheduled to perform at the awards show for the first time.
The multiple Grammy winner will pay tribute to Liberace, the famously flamboyant pianist and entertainer who died of HIV/AIDS-related illnesses in 1987. HBO's recent biopic about the late singer, Behind the Candelabra, is up for 15 Emmy Awards this year.

Listen: Michael Douglas tickles the ivories as Liberace -- EXCLUSIVE AUDIO
HBO's Liberace biopic arrives draped — as its subject was — in showmanship and song. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, Behind the Candelabra stars Michael Douglas as the famously flamboyant Vegas performer alongside Matt Damon as his much-younger lover/lookalike. In this exclusive audio clip of "The Liberace Boogie" from the film's first scene, take a listen to Douglas-as-Liberace. Does Douglas' voice match Liberace's as well as the rest of him?
The soundtrack includes both Liberace's recordings and original pieces and is available digitally on May 21; the film premieres on HBO on May 26. READ FULL STORY
'Behind the Candelabra' trailer: Dramatic piano playing, even more dramatic hair -- VIDEO
Michael Douglas effortlessly playing the piano, Matt Damon yelling "I don't even have my own face!" and Rob Lowe looking like a shih tzu are just some of the fabulous things in this new full-length Behind the Candelabra trailer.
Douglas plays Liberace and Damon his younger lover Scott Thorson. The trailer hits the ups and downs of the couple's relationship as shots of dramatic capes, luxurious bubble baths, and fancy cars quickly switch to yelling and glass throwing with the so-not-rhetorical line, "Why would a grown man want to adopt another grown man?"
There's also a lot about plastic surgery, which explains why Rob Lowe is almost unrecognizable.
The movie will air May 26 at 9 p.m. on HBO. Watch the trailer below:

Matt Damon to guest star on 'House of Lies'
Matt Damon is reuniting with his Ocean's Eleven co-star Don Cheadle for an upcoming episode of House of Lies.
Showtime president David Nevins made the announcement Saturday at the TCA's semi-annual press tour in Beverly Hills. The Bourne actor will play a version of himself on the show, one who seeks the expertise of Galweather & Stern in order to set up a charity that will exceed the philanthropic efforts of his Hollywood frenemy, George Clooney.
Cheadle won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Comedy last night, just as season 2 of House of Lies premiered.

Matt Damon to make first official guest appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
Set your DVRs: Matt Damon will finally submit to an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday, Jan. 24. And "may God help Damon if he dares show his stupid face," Kimmel said in a statement.
For nearly as long as he's hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live, the comedian has had the same show-ending tradition: Apologizing and saying that he's been forced to bump his last guest of the night, Matt Damon. In 2006, Kimmel finally welcomed Damon onto the show for the first time — only to inform his guest as soon as he sat down that their time was up.
Damon got his revenge in 2008 by co-starring with Kimmel's then-girlfriend Sarah Silverman in "I'm F—ing Matt Damon," a viral video that inspired an equally popular sequel, "I'm F—ing Ben Affleck." In the years since, Damon has done cameo appearances in several pre-taped Live comedy bits, including this extended sketch from 2010's post-Oscars episode — but he's never sat on Jimmy's couch for a regular interview.

This is our second year vacationing here with a mix of adults and kids. The property is so beautiful and beautifully maintained. The beds are comfy, the kitchen is well stocked with cookware and great for cooking in. There are ample places to congregate with friends and family and others to spend quiet time reading or drawing. The pool is great for a low tide swip and jumping in the river at high tide was the focal point of each day.
Town is an easy drive (or kayak) away with great grocery options and there are wonderful places to discover throughout the region. Favorites for us included Muscongus Bay Lobster Co. and Coveside in South Bristol. We also enjoyed a brief afternoon looking at antiques in Wiscasset. There are tons of local preserves for easy hiking and you may catch sight of seals just a brief, easy, kayak trip away from the doc.
We can't imagine a summer week away anywhere else.

Don't know if everyone knows but Katee was injured over the Thanksgiving weekend :( She had Joshua slipped and fell during Hometown Glory in one of the Texas shows and Katee has been very sore ever since. Lately she has only been dancing in "No Air" on the tour. Over the weekend Kherington did the door routine with Twitch in her place. I'm hoping she's up to dancing a little more this weekend. Tour won't be the same without her or her dances.

With a greater concern of residents shooting off fireworks in the aftermath of three devastating wildfires throughout Arizona, East Valley police departments responded to a high volume of complaints, but any damage caused by July 4 revelers appears to be minimal.
By all accounts from police and emergency agencies throughout the East Valley, a handful of minor incidents sparked in backyards were quickly contained during the holiday weekend.
Of the four large East Valley municipalities, only Mesa and Gilbert allow personal use of fireworks.
Although the state allowed sparklers that burn on the ground to be sold this year, a number of cities such as Chandler and Tempe banned their use, causing three police departments to field nearly 300 calls.
From Friday through Tuesday morning, Chandler police responded to 97 calls, but made no arrests and issued no citations, according to Sgt. Joe Favazzo, a Chandler police spokesman.
By the time police respond to a complaint of someone shooting off fireworks into the night it's hard to determine who had the fireworks in their possession, Favazzo said.
"We didn't issue any citations, didn't make any arrests and made a couple of verbal warnings," Favazzo said. "This was real fresh in the way we checked complaints out this year. The number of complaints were significantly less last year."
In Gilbert, a more rural area that allowed fireworks, police received more than 60 complaints, but responded to 33 of them from 9:30 a.m. Monday to 11:41 p.m. that evening, according to Sgt. William Balafas, a Chandler police spokesman.
The bulk of those calls, 25, came in from 12:25 a.m. Monday to 10:41 p.m. that evening, according to Sgt. William Balafas, a Gilbert police spokesman.
"We were unable to locate the majority of them," Balafas said. "We would cite people if we could catch them, but by the time officers arrive, the fireworks already have gone off, and you can't find out what happened."
Mike Connor, a Gilbert fire spokesman, said Tuesday that the department was not informed of any major incidents, and no injuries or damage were reported.
Mesa reported no major incidents in connection with fireworks.
In Tempe, officers responded to 63 fireworks calls, but "it was a pretty good year," said spokesman Sgt. Steve Carbajal. "We worked pretty hard with the fire department to prepare for the Fourth of July, and we're very pleased there were no major incidents related to fireworks."

Real Radio XS (Digital)
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2014) |
Broadcast area | Yorkshire, Central Scotland, North West England |
Frequency | DAB and online |
First air date | 1 April 2008 (as Rock Radio) 5 September 2011 (as Real Radio XS) |
Format | Classic Rock |
Audience share | (, [1]) |
Owner | GMG Radio |
Sister stations | 106.1 Real Radio XS, Real Radio, Smooth Radio |
Website | http://www.realradioxs.co.uk |
Real Radio XS (branded Rock Radio prior to September 2011) is a classic rock independent local radio service broadcast on DAB in various parts of the United Kingdom. It was formerly one of the Rock Radio brand of stations owned by GMG Radio, and currently carries programming largely sourced from 106.1 Real Radio XS in Manchester.
When it first launched, the digital service was known as Rock Radio North East, and was a dedicated digital-only service for the region which had its own programmes presented locally, broadcast from the complex at the Team Valley that also accommodates the group's Real Radio (North East) and 97.5 Smooth Radio. Breakfast was presented every morning (7am - 12noon) by Mark Gregory; John Kirby would present the weekday "drivetime" programme (2-7pm); and Kelly Scott would present evenings from 7pm until 12midnight. From noon until 2pm was an "automated" non-stop music programme known as "The Rock Block"; overnight (midnight to 7am) was also automated. The station did not broadcast news bulletins; instead, an hourly jingle gave a time check in the format of: "Rock Radio. The station where no news is good news. It's 8 o'clock. Let's Rock".
Just over a year after it launched, the local programming stopped without any explanation and the service instead broadcast a continuous "automation" service. With the exception of Mark Gregory, the main weekday presenters would later be heard on sister service Real Radio (North East). The only local opt-outs for the North East during the automation period would come in the form of off-peak news bulletins and local advertisement breaks.
In June 2009, the northeast frequency started relaying the Manchester 106.1 Rock Radio service with no local opt-outs.
In September 2009, Glasgow sister service 96.3 Rock Radio began to share some off-peak programming with 106.1 Rock Radio in Manchester, with live networked programming largely replacing voice-tracked local programming in outside-of-peak slots: only breakfast and drivetime are split, with the digital service taking Manchester's output during split programmes.
In October 2010, changes were made to GMG's digital radio lineup in tandem with the relaunch of Smooth Radio as a national station on the Digital One network. In areas served by Smooth on FM, a local Smooth was retained on DAB for the carriage of remaining locally opted-out content in addition to the national output. However, this was not required in Severn Estuary and Yorkshire, where Smooth was unavailable on FM, and the DAB service to these areas was a relay of Smooth from elsewhere in the country. As a result, GMG removed Smooth from these regional multiplexes and replaced it with a relay of Rock Radio, again based principally on the Manchester version.
On 5 September 2010, Rock Radio (Digital) was relaunched as Real Radio XS, tied in with the relaunch of the Manchester 106.1 FM service under that name. In addition to taking the Rock Radio slots in Yorkshire, Severn Estuary and North East, Real Radio XS was also introduced in place of Jazz FM (UK) on DAB on CE London and on the MXR regional ensembles in the West Midlands and the North West - in the process giving the station DAB coverage in its FM coverage area for the first time. (Jazz FM is now available nationally via Digital One.) The Manchester and Glasgow services were split off, with Glasgow's service retaining the name 96.3 Rock Radio, with the intention that it would be sold off, and continue to broadcast to Glasgow on FM and DAB as an independent station, with GMG operating Real XS from Manchester; however, GMG subsequently took the Glasgow station off the market and confirmed that it would relaunch as 96.3 Real Radio XS in late October 2011. It's likely that outside Scotland, however, the digital Real XS service will continue to be based primarily on the Manchester FM service, as previously.

SAVANNAH, Georgia — Labor problems on the West Coast helped send record-breaking cargo volumes to Georgia seaports in the first half of the 2015 fiscal year, the Georgia Ports Authority reported Monday.
Ports in Savannah and Brunswick handled a combined 15.3 million tons of cargo from July 1 to December 31, an increase of nearly 7 percent compared to the same period a year ago. At Savannah, the nation's fourth busiest container port, workers moved 1.75 million containers of imports and exports, an increase of more than 13 percent.
The news comes after Georgia's ports had their busiest year ever in fiscal 2014, during which the Port of Savannah for the first time handled more than 3 million cargo containers in a single year. Curtis Foltz, the port authority's executive director, predicted that growth may slow somewhat in the next six months, but not enough to keep Georgia's ports from having another peak year.
"As strong as the year has started, and I may be overly confident, but I'm fairly comfortable saying this will be another record year for the authority," Foltz said of the fiscal year that ends June 30.
A recovering U.S. economy gets credit for some of the growth Savannah and Brunswick have experienced since last summer, Foltz said. But he also credited protracted labor negotiations at ports on the West Coast, where increased congestion on the docks has caused shippers to divert more retail imports from Asia to ports on the East Coast.
West Coast woes helped make December, normally a slow month, the Georgia ports' second-busiest month on record. Overall tonnage shot up nearly 13 percent compared to December 2013, while container traffic increased by 18 percent.
Foltz said he expects growth to taper off soon as the West Coast contract disputes are resolved.

Array losing its values
I have an array at the top of my document that when i first use it works properly. However, towards the end of my script when I want to use the same array its empty. print_r does not print anything to the screen. var_dump prints NULL.
I'm modifying some open source software that has atleast 4 include files between the two times I want to reference my array. I think somewhere along in one of the include files is messing up my array. I'm not too familiar but shouldn't I be able to serialize() my array after I use it the first time. And then unserialize it when I want to use it the second time? This didn't work for me. I even created another array to make sure it wasn't just my array giving me trouble.Most of my questions/posts are fairly straightforward and simple. I post long verbose messages in an attempt to be thorough.

Variable Scope?
This sounds like a problem with the scope of the array. The includes shouldn't have anything to do with it. (I'd need to see your source code to be sure.)
However, if you define the array in the main routine, then try to access it in a function, you'll get no value. The array isn't gone; it's just out of scope. Here's a simple example:
This program would produce no output, even though the global $a has been assigned a value. This is because functions keep their own variables, separate from those in the main program. In other words, the global $a is out of scope. (Why? There are many advantages to this kind of partitioning -- not the least of which is assigning each function of a large program to a different programmer or team... the individual programmers then don't have to avoid accidentally duplicating global variables.)PHP Code:
$a = 'This'; // global $a defined in main program
function that() {
echo $a; // this refers to the function's local variable $a, not the global $a
There are two ways you can solve this. First is the use of the global keyword in the function. If the funcion in the above code is modified like this:
Now the program will produce the output you might have expected in the first example -- the word "This" will be echoed to the screen.Code:. . . function that() { global $a; // now all references to $a mean the global $a echo $a; } . . .
With this solution, anything that changes the value of $a in the function will also change the value of $a in the main function, since the function is now working with the global variable.
The other solution involves passing the value of the global variable to the function as an argument. In our example, you'd change the orginal program like this:
Now, the program will again output "This", but there's a subtle difference. If you change the value of $a in the function now, the value of the global $a will not be affected.Code:<?php $a = 'This'; // global $a defined in main program that($a); // pass the value of $a to the function function that($a) { // receives a single argument. echo $a; // this refers to the function's local variable $a, not the global $a } ?>
Also note that the variable name in the function need not be the same as the global variable being passed to it. You could just as well say function that($b)... and echo $b. When the function is called, the value of global $a will be passed into the function's local $b.
Hope this was helpful. If it's below you, I didn't mean to offend. Your question wasn't very clear about the nature of the problem, so this answer is just a (rather long-winded) shot-in-the-dark.

Something is overwriting it or unsetting it. Rename/copy the array, or find out what is altering it. Are you sure it's the included files? Try commenting out the includes one at a time and see if your array is still empty at the end.
If you give it a name that isn't used then it won't be altered by other code(You should only do this if the original array needs to be preserved, otherwise just rename the original).PHP Code:
$array = array(1,2,3);
$array2 = $array;

Ok thanks it was simply a scope problem. As I didn't notice that everything was wrapped in a function call (about 400 lines of code Sounds like someone needs a class). I was defining the array in the global scope and trying to reference it again from within the function which of course is out of its scope. Must've been real tired last night not to see that it was in a function.
Yes I've tried creating another array to make sure it wasn't simply being overwritten.
But it still was still null when I tried to print it out.PHP Code:
$this_is_a_test = array('yeah','uh huh','okay','whats up','shut up');
And I tried making it global but I was declaring it global outside of the function. What a goof.
Of course, moving the global keyword should fix this problem. Correct?PHP Code:
global $this_is_a_test;
$this_is_a_test = array('yeah','uh huh','okay','whats up','shut up');
function i_did_not_notice_this() {
print_r($this_is_a_test); //would not print anything.
var_dump($this_is_a_test); //would print NULL
PHP Code:
$this_is_a_test = array('yeah','uh huh','okay','whats up','shut up');
function i_did_not_notice_this() {
global $this_is_a_test;
print_r($this_is_a_test); //would not print out the array indexes and values
var_dump($this_is_a_test); //would print out datatype, indexes and values.

When I design some stock or investment related things, I found that China is different from country like US. In US, red color represent a negative trend, and green represent a positive one. In the contrast, China use the red to represent the positive, and green for the negative. What else company have the same color schema like China? Thanks.
Japan, for one: Korea too: Basically, a trend across many Asian countries. |
I'm not sure how reliable it is, but this link seems to have a fairly comprehensive list of color meanings grouped by specific culture. I know that red is typically seen as a lucky color in many eastern cultures whereas it's seen as a danger flag in most western cultures (stop signs, emergency power switches, fire alarms, self-destruct buttons, etc.). I'm sure there are some decent cog sci or sociology papers on this, but it seems like you're looking for more of a guide to color use in design in various cultures. Edit: This chart may be a little easier to use; it seems like it was made by / directed more toward designers |
I think countries in east asia have the same color represent, like Korea, Japan, and taiwan. |

Skip Maine state header navigation
TO: Superintendents of Schools
FROM: Susan A. Gendron, Commissioner
RE: Educational
Technicians: ParaPro Assessment
Passing Score and Procedure for Accessing the ParaPro Assessment
DATE: December
16, 2003
Title I, as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA) of 2001, has new requirements for paraprofessionals. Please be advised that each Local Education Agency (LEA) receiving assistance under Title I, Part A must ensure that all paraprofessionals (Educational Technicians) hired after January 8, 2002 and providing instructional support in a program supported with funds under this Title meet one of the following requirements:
1. Hold an Associate's degree or higher; or
2. Have sixty semester hours from an accredited two-year and/or four-year college(s) or university; or
3. Achieve the qualifying score on the ParaPro Assessment.
(The ParaPro Assessment was chosen by the State of Maine as a way to meet the NCLBA criteria for "highly qualified paraprofessionals.")
The State of Maine's passing score for the ParaPro Assessment has been set at 459 for both the Internet-based and paper/pencil versions of the test.
Educational Technicians who pass the test with a score of 459 or higher must provide the test results to the district's NCLBA contact person using Form EFC-308P.
To facilitate the ParaPro Assessment option that Educational Technicians may use as an avenue to achieve the requirement set forth by the NCLBA, Educational Testing Service (ETS) is offering both pencil-and-paper and Internet-based versions of the test in Maine.
The Internet-based version of the ParaPro Assessment can be made available in each Maine LEA. There are no costs associated with applying for an Internet site. Tests are then ordered by the LEA only and at a cost of $40.00 each. Individuals may not purchase a test themselves.
If you wish to make the Internet-based version of the ParaPro Assessment available in your LEA, the following are steps established by ETS to bring the ParaPro Assessment online in your district:
1. The LEA is responsible for providing a local site (computer or computer lab) that is secure, has the correct test-taking conditions, and has a suitable proctor.
Technical requirements for administrating the ParaPro Internet-based Assessment are available on the ParaPro Website: www.ets.org/parapro under "Frequently Asked Questions for School Districts and States". Other test administration requirements are covered in the Administrator's Handbook found on the ETS ParaPro Administrative Website which you will be able to access after receiving your password as outlined below.
2. To apply to purchase and administer the ParaPro iBT assessment, complete the Internet-based ParaPro Assessment Application at http://www.ets.org/parapro/ippform.html.
If you wish to make the Internet-based version available for test administration beginning February 1, 2004, you must apply to ETS no later than January 15, 2004.
3. After your application has been validated by ETS, the e-mail address entered in the application will receive an e-mail message with a website address for the ETS ParaPro Administrative Website and your unique User ID and Password.
Login to the Administrative Website to read the Administrator's Handbook, purchase tests at $40.00 each, and maintain your LEA's account.
Superintendents wishing
to designate an on-line regional test site located in one LEA that Educational
Technicians from the surrounding area may access may do so by contacting the
ETS ParaPro Assessment
Management Team at firstname.lastname@example.com or call them at (609) 734-5555.
Pencil-and-paper versions of the test will be available at the following sites:
· March 2004 Cony High School - Augusta
· April 2004 University of Maine – Orono
University of Southern Maine – Portland
· June 2004 University of Maine – Presque Isle
Pre-registration is required prior to taking the
pencil-and- paper version of the ParaPro
Registration bulletins must be ordered through ETS by either calling
their publication center at 1-800-537-3161, or by ordering them through the
ParaPro website: www.ets.org/parapro Registration must be mailed to
If you have any questions about the test set-up procedure, please email the ETS ParaPro Assessment Management Team at firstname.lastname@example.com or call them at (609) 734-5555, or you may contact Anne Wehrman at the Maine Department of Education.

ELISE soothes range anxiety
Up to now, the options to recharge the empty battery of an electric car greatly depend on the availability of a public energy grid or at least a charging station in the not too distant environment. In order to enhance the range of options for e-car drivers, the KIT researchers plan to develop an "independent" charging unit. The goal of project ELISE is to provide the necessary products and functions and improve operating reliability.
The project embraces a unit integrated in the car that acquires and processes data on the vehicle's operating status and the environment and acts as an enabler for location-independent services. This telematics platform can be configured for a range of tasks and contains an interface for data communication with a smartphone. This, in turn acts as the display for the platform and to visualizes application specific information. In addition, it acts as a communication device with the outside world. Moreover, the researchers plan to design a charging and discharging unit that operates autonomously. For instance, it facilitates emergency charging of a car whose battery ran empty. Thus, the charging unit is somewhat comparable with a jumper cable.
The third element of the ELISE project is the development of new concepts based on insights on vehicle remote diagnosis, position determination and user behavior. These concepts, fed into the industrial design of electric vehicles, will be used to optimize the design of electric vehicles as well as their components from a holistic perspective. Towards this end, the KIT scientists get granular on the interplay between driver, vehicle and environment.
The project is part of the Leading-Edge Cluster Elektromobility South West germany with about 80 participating entities from industry and academic community. The project is funded in part by the German federal research ministry. Results can be expected from 2015.

Our opinion: PIE partners take bite out of financial void
An amazing thing seems to happen in Wichita Falls.
When economic times get tough, generosity increases. It's almost as if we, as a community, realize our contributions are needed even more than before.
That continues to be the case with Partners in Education.
At a time when public education funding seems to be on the chopping block, community partners kick it in gear, and give even more.
Partners in Education members were celebrated this week for their continued support of the Wichita Falls Independent School District, adding to the nearly $2 million poured into the school district since PIE's inception 23 years ago. Thousands of volunteers give tens of thousands of hours to PIE, and their partner entities fill a tremendous financial gap.
The financial response can be measured.
The emotional commitment to our children cannot be measured.
"It is such an honor to recognize our generous PIE partners each year," said Christi Farnsworth, PIE coordinator. "It is all of the PIE partners and volunteers that make a difference for the students and schools in the Wichita Falls ISD."
On Tuesday, the district's partners were celebrated, and several outstanding entities were recognized. Examples of their contributions are listed below. Many of the partners contribute far more than we could ever list. This is just a sample:
n Partner of the Year: Life Tabernacle, Washington-Jackson, provides 20 mentors volunteering 112.75 hours — adopted 30 students and their families to provide Christmas presents and food; provided food boxes for 12 families at Thanksgiving; sponsors a Bible Club after school one day a week for 30 students
n Program of the Year: Red Hot Radical Readers, Wichita Falls Kiwanis Club at elementary schools — reading incentive program designed for every student to succeed; rally held at each school to encourage reading, giving students reaching goal T-shirts; 19th year for the program
n Mentor Program of the Year: Altrusa International, Inc., Southern Hills Elementary — adopted 80 fourth-grade students as pen pals and wrote monthly letters (50 volunteers giving approximately 80-90 hours per month — 720 hours); sponsored a "Meet and Greet" at beginning of year to meet pen pals; purchased a book for each student at Christmas and at the end of the year
n Extra Mile Award: Sonic on Kell, West Foundation Elementary School — offers daily, anytime, Route 44 drinks at half price for all staff; offered an original drawing contest for students to win gift cards to Toys R Us, free Wacky Pack meals, free drinks and free desserts for the winners; provides ice cream cones for students achieving 25 point goals on their reading programs
n Organization of the Year: First Christian Church, Fain, all elementary schools — sponsors Coats for Kids project; purchased approximately 600 ($15,000) new winter coats for children in need in all elementary schools; provides food baskets for families at Thanksgiving; provides a sock and mitten tree at Christmas (since 1996)
n Staff Appreciation: On The Border, Barwise Junior High — provided Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for families in need; provided a meal for an Alamo family; provided a beginning of the year faculty luncheon; provided lunch for a teacher training
n Rookie of the Year: Sharp Iron Group, Harrell ALC — sponsors the student of the month program (each month representatives take a student, a family member and a teacher the student chooses out to lunch at any restaurant the student wishes to go).
Many thanks to all the PIE partners who continue to make an immeasurable difference in our children's lives.

Making money in GTA Online isn't hard - just abduct and sell a few swanky cars - but you might need a bit of assistance if you've got your heart set on the most expensive Los Santos properties. With that in mind, here's a list of the game's missions together with how much money and Crew Rank you'll earn by completing them, plus 10 mini-guides to a selection of lucrative low-to-mid level Jobs for beginner players.
A few pointers before we begin. Firstly, while Rockstar has theoretically patched out the ability to replay missions that are awarded by NPCs, there's a workaround - basically, anybody who joins a mission in progress as the spectator can choose to replay it, so you can still farm these "story" missions for cash if you're prepared to put up with extra hassle. Secondly - if it's general advice you're after, please peruse these GTA Online tips and our piece on how to make a million dollars in GTA Online.
Away we go then. The complete list of missions and payouts is on page two - bear in mind that Rank Point amounts may differ if you've got a full Crew, and that mission rewards are now slashed by 50% when you repeat them. Thanks to the GTA Forums lot for compiling and updating to reflect the most recent patch, to OPM for passing it on, and to Aoife for starting this off.
1. No Hay Bronca - $5,000 (Gerald, level 9)
A fairly low level, relatively high-paying job that involves interrupting a drug deal on gang territory, intercepting the package and delivering it to Gerald's apartment. Provided you play it safe at the meeting point and take out enemies from cover, you shouldn't have many problems, and the mission can be attempted alone if you just fancy a few quick runs.
2. Meth'd Up - $5,000 (Gerald, level 7)
Your task with this one is to boost a caravan turned drug lab from outside town. We advise making sure that every player has a car (and preferably, a chap riding shotgun) - the RV is slow on its hooves, and so you'll need to give it plenty of cover en route to the drop-off point.
3. Caught Napping - $5,000 (Lamar, level 20)
Lamar's friend Leroy from Ballas has been bundled into one of their cars and is being driven around the city - you'll need to catch up with him and extricate him from the gang without getting him shot. Once you grab Leroy, you must escort him back to his store with gangsters in pursuit. This is a much easier mission with one or more people in the car with you, as they can mark a waypoint while you focus on driving, making sure that the car doesn't get too far away.
4. Going down the GOH - $5,000 (Lamar, level 20)
Steal a gas tanker and drive it to the depot. The tank is incredibly slow, unwieldy to drive and highly flammable, so you'll definitely want to ask a friend or two to provide back-up - preferably on motorbikes.
5. San Andreas Seoul - $3,000 (Lamar, level 16)
Another tanker-stealing mission. This should be pretty straightforward, provided you've got the mad wheel skills to negotiate some narrow roads. Don't feel obliged to phone friends - one player should be enough.
6. Out of Court Settlement - $9,000 (Martin, level 22)
Here's a little tip with this one. Before finishing the mission, store the guy's car in your garage, then sell it after completion. It's worth something in the region of $20,000. Not too shabby.
7. Death From Above - $5,000 (Martin, level 24)
The trick to this one is finding a helicopter - the game points you towards a landing strip, but you may have trouble finding a bird. If you're mates with Merryweather, you can pay them $1000 to call in a chopper, then either hitch a ride or kill the pilot and do the flying yourself.
8. A Titan of a Job - $10,000 (Lester, level 24)
You're going to want to take care of the enemies in the hangar before nabbing off with that Titan cargo plane. Don't forget to move all those lorries out of the way before trying to take off. You probably won't need to rush - the guards are few in number, and there's plenty of cover inside the hangar.
9. High Priority Case - $7,000 (Lester, level 25)
Bring a helicopter - you're going to have trouble taking out all the men atop that skyscraper otherwise. For safest results, land on the building next to it and get busy with some sniper rifles. As with other chopper missions, it's a good idea to be on friendly terms with Merryweather, so that you can call in a spare helicopter in the event that yours gets blown up.
10. Cop's Capacity - $5,000 (Lester, level 19)
Another car-jacking Job. As with Out Of Court Settlement, remember to store the car in your garage so you can sell it on after completing the mission - it's worth a not unappetising $16,000.

Dylan Kelly had two hits, including an RBI double in the first. |
April 12, 2013
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Mizzou baseball team squandered a pair of early leads on Friday night (April 12) as it fell to No. 3 Vanderbilt, 11-5, at Hawkins Field. Vanderbilt's Connor Harrell homered twice and drove in four runs for the Commodores as Mizzou starter Rob Zastryzny (Corpus Christi, Texas) was tagged with his sixth loss after pitching 4.0 innings, allowing six earned runs on eight hits while striking out six and walking four.
The loss drops the Tigers to 12-18 on the season and 4-9 in SEC play while the third-ranked Commodores improve to 31-4 overall and 12-1 in SEC play. Mizzou led 2-0 after the top of the first and 4-3 after the top of the second, but Zastryzny, who was feeling a little under the weather on Friday, struggled as Vandy tied the game in the bottom half of each of those frames before taking the lead for good with two runs in the fifth. Kevin Ziomek earned his seventh win of the season for Vanderbilt although the Tigers scored a season-high four earned runs off of him on six hits.
Mizzou got to Ziomek early as Case Munson (St. Charles, Mo.) led off the game with a walk before being sacrificed to second by Dane Opel (Edwardsville, Ill.). After an out by Keaton Steele (St. Joseph, Mo.), Dylan Kelly (Roswell, Ga.) and Kendall Keeton (Columbia, Tenn.) hit back-to-back, two-out doubles to give Mizzou a 2-0 lead after the top of the first inning.
But Zastryzny struggled in the first inning as he allowed a double to two-hole hitter Xavier Turner before issuing a one-out walk to Conrad Gregor. That set the stage for Connor Harrell who hit a three-run bomb to left field to put Vandy on top, 3-2, as the Mizzou lead was short-lived.
The Tigers then answered in the top of the second inning as a one-out, two-run single by Munson drove in a pair of runs to give Mizzou the lead back at 4-3. But again, it was short lived as Kyle Smith homered from the No. 8 spot to tie the game at 4-4 before Zastryzny retired the side.
Both pitchers settled in from there until Zastryzny ran into some trouble in the fifth, allowing a leadoff homer to Harrell, his second of the day, before back-to-back doubles gave Vandy a 6-4 lead. Jake Walsh (Plano, Texas), making his 12th appearance in the last 17 games, was filthy in relief of Zastryzny retiring the Commodores and stranding a Zastryzny runner on third, sending the game to the sixth with Vandy on top 6-4. But after a 1-2-3 Tiger half of the sixth, Walsh struggled and Vandy added three runs in the frame to take a 9-4 lead into the seventh. And that was all that Vandy needed as the Commodore bullpen shut down the Tiger lineup from there, with the exception of Opel's third homer of the season in the seventh, a solo shot to right.
The middle game of the three-game series will be played tomorrow at 4 p.m. in a nationally broadcasted game on ESPNU. Tom Hart and Ben McDonald will have the call. For all the latest on Mizzou baseball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team on twitter @MUTigerBaseball.
