Situated in historic Troy, N.Y., Russell Sage is a private college for women, featuring interdisciplinary, liberal arts, and professional degree programs.
Russell Sage is showcased by a beautiful campus. Victorian brownstones surround touches of modern architecture and hidden courtyards perfect for studying and enjoying the outdoors.
RSC - A History:
Russell Sage College was founded in Troy in 1916 by suffragist Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage, with the guidance of Eliza Kellas, head of the college preparatory Emma Willard School (also located in Troy). Together they founded Russell Sage College as a school of practical arts, one of the very first institutions to offer women the means of economic and social independence through preparation for professional careers.

Now Playing SONY Walkman Series S-545
As a SONY newbie who just had my beloved Creative Zen die, I can't figure out how to play artist A plus artist B at the same time. What I mean is, if I have 3 songs from artist A Now Playing, and I then go back to Music, Artist, artist B and press the center button on the wheel, the songs from artist B REPLACE the songs from artist A. I want the songs from artist B to be ADDED to the songs from artist A in Now Playing.
Am I missing something simple? I could do this with my Creative.
Also, in my Creative, when I was in Now Playing, I could create a playlist on the fly from what was in Now Playing. I did not have to use the computer to create a playlist. Can I do this with the SONY Series S?
Thanks for any help.

I don't think that you can do either of these things with the S545. Sorry!

You are going thru the exact same "issues" as I did when I got my Sony E series a couple of months ago [also applies for the sister/cousin S series devices and I was also coming off of a few Creative mp3 players as well as other brands].
There are some major shortcomings IMO with the basic functionality of these Sony players. People here at abi know that I have COMPLAINED ALOT [] about these issues, problems which prevent these Sony players from being truly excellent instead of being very good.
- You CANNOT APPEND music to the NOW PLAYING queue FROM the device itself;
- You CANNOT DELETE music FROM the device itself;
- You CANNOT perform BASIC PLAYLIST creation/editing FROM the device.
The most surprising thing to me about the Sony devices is that these 3 basic [what I consider to be basic] functions are unavailable. Sony forces you to connect your PORTABLE device to a PC to manage it. Ironic, right?
This is EXTREMELY SILLY to me and are serious issues. Every mp3 player I have ever had included these basic functions.
However, as these Sony players sound fantastic, offer generally excellent form, function and battery life and are among the best value storage-wise for the money, many folks [me included] have reluctantly given in and end up working around these shortcomings.
If you are interested, click my user name in the forums to see my "rants" on this exact issue. It may be instructive to you also to read the responses from folks who really don't mind not having these key features, to get a different persepective.
Different strokes...
Thanks so much for your excellent reply. Now I have some thinking to do!
I'm lucky this is my very first PMP so I dont miss all of those features lol, anyway is it possible to make a playlist on your pc and transfer it in a file to the walkman?
hopefully we can do this, it may be a pain but it beats nothing.

@ jsk68:
Yes, there are several ways to make playlists on Sony Walkmans.
My personal opinion [and others as well] - STAY AWAY FROM Windows Media Player!
To make playlists on Win XP for your Sony Walkman, you can:
- install and use Winamp [free, stable, relatively small and full featured media manager and it interfaces perfectly with the new Sony E/S series] - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS!
- install the included Sony Content transfer software;
- possibly use Win Explorer to do simple drag and drop and playlist creation/syncing.
Search the Sony forums here at abi...a ton of great info and knowledgeable friendly folks who can assist.
Also, search the abi site - the editors have recently written excellent, comprehensive articles on how to use various software to sync/manage your Sony [and other] mp3 player...
Personally, everyone knows I am a huge Winamp fan for managing my Sony player - my experience with it has been flawless.
And again, do yourself a favor and STAY FAR AWAY from Windows Media Player - it is horrible, uncontrollable bloatware, just like iTunes...
If you decide to give Winamp a shot, write back here and I [and others i am sure] will try and assist you...
I find WMP fine for creating/transfering files and playlists
there is also Sony Media manager, but on mine it doesnt even recognise my player, but do use it for podcast support until WMP adds this in
Glad to hear WMP works for you - different strokes...! Of course, I have used WMP in the past and personally found it terribly lacking and subpar for all the reasons I mentioned.
Just out of curiosity, have you tried Winamp or MediaMonkey or any of the other free media managers out there? ;-)
If you haven't, that would be a little like only eating hamburger and never trying steak.
Much as i like the burger/steak analogy, it would be fine if it only took 5mins to see if any software was better, and even if it was, is it worth me spending 10's of hrs re-sorting my 60gb of music in another bit of software. Frankly i have better things to do with my life however may take a look at MM just to see if it have import functions.
What i was trying to get over was as a computer savvy mid level user though it has flaws i find WMP fine for week to week management of my mp3 library and player. Only really bugging thing is there is no easy way just to add new tracks, it has to scan the whole c-drive
Hey eddysi:
Totally understand! But, actually, you may be laboring under a false assumption.
Neither Winamp or MediaMonkey will really require you to do much with your music collection. For both apps, you basically install them, point them to where your music lives and let them do their thing. If your music is recognized by WMP, then it will be recognized by Winamp/MediaMonkey, etc.
Also, a word of advice from someone who wasted a lot of time before - if they are not, try to be sure:
-that your music is in 1 or 2 main library folders on your PC; otherwise, as you get more music, it becomes a huge chore to track where everything lives; the idea is to control where your music collection lives, not the other way around where stuff is all over the place.
-that your music is properly tagged the way you want it, but with basic info as Artist/Title/Album/Year/Track Number intact. Getting into this habit of tagging will go a long way to insuring that you have an organized library - well worth the effort up front and as you RIP/download new music. Plus you will be the envy of all your friends as they admire your supremely organized music collection. <wink>
As for your WMP complaint about rescanning entire library everytime when adding new stuff, this is pretty much true for all media managers. But both Winamp and MediaMonkey can be set to monitor your music folders in the background when they are running so you do not need to proactively force the app to scan for new music.
Just some food for thought! But again, whatever works for you is the best way to go...There's a lot of great info here at the abi forums and on the abi site - well worth checking out.
lestatar wrote the following as part of a post:
As far as adding music to MediaMonkey (MM), I keep my entire music collection in one folder and have MM monitor only that folder. It scans my entire msuci library when it starts and it takes about 1 minute.
To add music to MM, all I do is drop the file into my music collection folder. If MM is running it is instantly added to MM and organized in my music collection. If MM is not running, it will be added and organized the next time I start MM.
In Use
Player: Sony NWZ-A17
Music Management Software: Media Go 3.0
Headphones: JVC HA-S140
My MediaMonkey is set up to scan my folders at start-up, and to automatically analyze each track's volume that hasn't been analyzed( for ReplayGain purposes).
My music is primarily in folder of codec type....FLAC, mp3, wma, m4a, vorbis(although there's hardly any m4a or vorbis).... although newer additions are temporarily in seperate named folders named after the music's source....for example, I have a Jamendo folder and an Ektoplasm folder.
And since I am not lacking in hard drive space, I have lossy conversions of my FLACs already prepared for use on my DAP's....none of that convert-while-syncing for me.

@CDMP3PlayerFan, you are absolutely right...MediaMonkey does a very nice job of updating new additions. And both Winamp and MediaMonkey won't choke as your collection grows [as WMP probably will] - I think upper limit of MM is 100k songs and Winamp I think will run great managing at least 50k songs.
@Marvin, I like FLAC too but believe it or not, space is an issue for me [groan, AGAIN!]...with 13k songs and growing daily, even 1TB of external storage isn't enough for me [what with all the movies/DVD rips/games I have]...

Lawl at the rest of this thread. Speculating that people will shy away from a new OS on a new device merely because Nokia released a dud a while back is just silliness.
I read over that list. Most of it was ludicrous and dumb, people fishing for problems with the device because, as DarkSide astutely noted, people like to hate on MS.
On the Swype issue, I LOVE it. But I don't think that a Nokia Windows Phone lacking a proprietary Samsung Android keyboard is a legitimate reason to bitch and moan. The Lumia has sold very well. I know one thing: if it hits US Cellular ever, I definitely will be one of the first in line to get my hands on it.
I just can't believe I'm defending a MS produced, Zune rockin', non-EQ having device. I'll be honest and say a device or software/OS sux when I believe it does. The OS on my WP is great. There are a few minor glitches, but it's still fine for my uses. And, as time progresses, the OS will mature - the same as iOS. Android, for my tastes, is too unrefined and fragmented. But, it's still an excellent OS as well. But for me it's either WP or iOS.
But, above all else, I've used the OS's we discussed. And formed an opinion of them after a time with them. I didn't read BS posts or blogs, and I'm not biased in any way towards any of them.
TBH I luv the new Nokia PureView 41 megapixel phone as well. And, if I'm not mistaken, it's running Symbian. And I have no issue with that either. But I guess someone will - it wasn't made in Finland or Hungary.

The PureView is a different kettle of fish - it definitely wasn't designed by Microsoft, but is the Nokia of old. I doubt whether it was outsourced to non-Nokia factories and re-badged like the Lumia series. Of course, it has nothing to do with Elop.
Anyone buying it won't care about the OS.
a loss of nearly $2 billion dollars won't be turned around by further losses on Lumia - or on any other phone Nokia makes. http://www.iphonehacks.com/2012/04/n...-carriers.html
From 29% market share of all smartphones at the end of 2010 to just 7% currently, projected to be just 3% at the end of this year.
Nokia is going down the toilet with its toxic brand
I also doubt the credibility of that link, claiming that MS's future hinges on the success of Windows 8 and that iPad sales are causing PC sales to fade. I call bullshit on that as well. There is no one in their right mind who could possibly imagine that an iPad is capable of taking over for a PC. They are two different markets.
So you would rather Nokia just died off quietly, is that it? Sorry to break it to you dude but big companies like Nokia and microsoft do not just die overnight. A loss of 2 Billion is a bad thing, but big losses are part of the game for big companies. Sometimes they win big too.
The whole mobile landscape has changed, those statistics reflect that change. Nokia refused to be just another android OEM and took a chance on WP7, you will not see the outcome of that gamble for quite some time yet. Windows integration should be quite the selling point when it finally matures. Time will tell. I know many people who have gone over to wp7. Your unwillingness to see the merits of the platform does not rule it out for others. Deal with it.
Since you called TDS stupid I shall take it that personal insults are fair game. So have a nice day you a redacted .

lol, I think.
You just don't like the truth. Nokia will be gone by the end of 2013. Losses, sales figures etc. don't lie.
I'll just hold on to my SG2 - at least Samsung won't be gone before my contract fini... oh. yeah, I don't have a contract.
None of us have anything against Android... We're just calling your dumb ass out on your WP7 hate.
Right, I had another look at this Tomi Ahonen character. I see walls and walls of text. He is a salesman, he makes his money off selling books and making speeches. I stopped reading when I hit the 4P's of marketing on the second page of the blog. A controversial character if I ever saw one, but that is probably part of the media image he wants to create for himself. Controversy sells better and elicits a response better.
In the future if you want to prove a point do not just point to some random blog, point to a specific article. That whole blog is a an eyesore, a massive wall of text with very little structure to link it all together. A typical approach to give what you say credibility while giving the reader every incentive not to dig too deeply. Kind of like the 101 faults article linked to earlier. Anyway since I spent a bit of time looking around the site here are a few select articles I found interesting. Maybe others will too.
He paints a grim picture but not what you say it is. You said Lumia phones were not even selling well in Finland. The only mention of Finland I could find on the blog is to say that the Lumia phones are selling well in Finland. Directly contradicting your claim. It just so happens that I am finnish (though not in any way connected with Nokia) and I can confirm that the Lumia phones have made it into the hands of many people on the streets. Not really surprising considering people here have a patriotic desire to support Nokia.

For the record, you've never even tried the OS and your an expert??? And outdated & biased links make you correct???
And I'd suggest you remove the personal insults,...the "stupid" comment is just the start of this all, now isn't it??? Especially since I usually get a new phone every 6 months, since I luv new tech and toys.

and imminent failure.
The Dark Side - you gravitated towards me, you added your 2c towards this thread. For all I know you may be a perfectly nice guy. I dismiss the fanboi from Finland as irrelevant.
But you bought a Nokia, Windows phone on a contract. How stupid and uneducated was that? Very. A Blackberry Playbook would be more defensible.
I predict you won't be using that phone in 6 months, you'll have realised how crap it was and moved on to something else.
Microsoft may buy Nokia soon, if not for their worthless phone model then at least for their patents.
When the brand is toxic in its home country, shuts down all its European factories, then you know something is seriously wrong.
Operators Wont Sell Nokia LumiasEven in Finland!
From Communities Dominate Brands: Disappointed Buyer = Returned Lumia = Salespeople Avoid = Growing Nokia Retail Problem:
MTV3 the Finnish TV broadcaster and news service ran a secret test of the Finnish handset retailers in the Helsinki and Tampere regions the two largest cities of Finland. They sampled two stores from each of the three mobile carriers/operators, and two stores from the two largest independent phone resellers. The MTV3 journalists pretended to be normal consumers and visited ten stores and every time asked to see Nokia Lumia smartphones. In six out of ten stores, the sales people showed only rival phones Androids mostly by Samsung when the consumer asked for Nokia Lumia !!! In another two cases the sales person came with several phones rather than just the Lumia and offered immediately a series of handsets to compare. Only in two cases out of ten, did the sales person show a Lumia on first request. Every store had the Lumia on display and in stock and the news story makes the point, that in most stores Lumia had the biggest sales displays at prominent places.Tomi Ahonen, as usual, is spot on in his analysis of Nokia. This passage is buried pretty deep into his several thousand word posting, but it pretty much summarizes how Nokia is doing in their transition to a Windows Phone device manufacturernamely, not good.
If theyre having that much trouble getting the operator stores to sell Nokia Lumia phones in Finland, where theyve historically had over 85% of the the market, imagine how bad it is elsewhere."
"Nokia smartphone sales are collapsing globally and my projection for year-end is in the low single digits now, say 4% or so. I will do a better full-year projection for Nokia once I have had to digest these numbers a bit, and I see the other results from the rivals. But Nokia is dying before our eyes. They had 29% market share with Elop in charge, when smartphone sales were growing strongly and Nokia's smartphones were profitable. Then Elop did his Elop Effect and followed that up with numerous further management blunders. Today Nokia's market share is 7% and falling, with the smarthpone unit reporting record losses. This is not a way to build a third ecosystem haha. Oh, and to the Nokia Shareholders' Meeting - please fire the Microsoft Muppet CEO now, while there still exists a Nokia to speak of, before he destroys what is left of it"
An illuminating read from the Guardian, highlighting the 800s many failures. they couldn't even sell this phone on contract by bundling in an Xbox 360, or some of those 'lovely' Beat headphones. People read this then didn't buy:

Aah it seems his blog does have some structure after all. The walls of text on the main page are actually previews of the real articles. My bad for not picking up on that.
He said the lumia phones are not selling well in Finland. It shows up on the fourth page, or as a part of the in depth article linked to from the first page. You will have to forgive me for not digging that far. The first page alone has 32 000 words on it.
I was also right though. This is from a more recent wall of text. It does say the lumia is selling well in Finland.
You can call me a fanboi if you like, but then I would have to point out that you have the redacted.

@Jeven, please reference your source properly in post# 9.
To everyone posting both the direct and oblique insults that started after the "stupid" remark let me make one thing clear. No more.
That the remark shouldn't have been phrased that way or made at all is obvious. There's no place for personal insults in a reasoned discussion. It's possible to disagree with an idea without making it personal. Those that can't find a way to do that aren't allowed to continue posting here. But...
There's no way any staff member here has the time or interest to read and evaluate every post here for potential flamebait. If you feel a post goes outside the concept of disagreeing with the idea and is personally insulting hit the "Report" button that's part of every post here.
The sooner the report is made, the better the results will be. It's much easier to deal with a single inappropriate post and it's author than try to clean up the mess this has become.

Fair enough, I redacted the offending lines.
2) He may very well have a new phone in 6 months, but that's just what he does. He liked his Motorola Atrix and his iPhones, but he just likes trying the new ones.
Convenient how simple it is to leave out new, accurate information that completely debunks what you're saying, isn't it?
Your link from the Guardian is someone who is obviously trying actively to dislike the system or is just completely inept when it comes to using technology. (let's also keep in mind that he's talking about the Lumia 800...) Here's why:
Four specific problems, one that is standard to technology, one that is him being a half-wit or an anti-Windows hater, one that is him not being smart enough to learn names rather than pictures, and one that is him fishing for a reason to dislike the browser. All on a device that is NOT the Lumia 900 and that you are extrapolating to try to make it relevant to your argument here.
In fact, you used this to claim that people read it and as a result didn't buy a 900. If you cared to read any of the comments, about half of them are people surprised that the review is so poor or pointing out the fact that its only comparison is the an iPhone, and the other half are people saying that they have an exact opposite opinion, and that they love their Lumia.
And lastly, whoever this Tomi Ahonen guy is, it's fairly obvious that he doesn't really know much at all about what he's saying. He's a fear-monger. He's like Fox News or Harold Camping. Both of which I either avoid like the plague or listen to and then laugh my A$$ off.

I was nervous for this purchase, since this was my first time shopping on Worldmarket.com and the price for the jewelry stand was so reasonable (I've seen these elsewhere for upwards of $50). But, as soon as I got it, I was impressed with the construction quality and design. It's big enough to hold many pieces without looking cheap or overused. I needed a place to rest my watch at night, and the stand fits this need perfectlyI already got a few compliments on it! March 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by hoydenjen Gorgeous! This jewelry tree is gorgeous. I've gotten multiple compliments on how good this thing looks. I only wish it were bigger. May 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ANNEQH GOOD FOR NECKLACES This is a very useful necklace tree - as it goes out in a bar form, your necklaces won't be doubling over each other. Also like the ring/bracelet tray below. January 14, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by the marketer love it but wish it was a little bigger Wish it was a little bigger so that I could fit more earrings. i plan to purchase a second one so that i can have all my earring hang. many compliments on the tree from my girlfriends. great gift idea. April 29, 2011

Global trade slows down to a five-year low in 2015, but negative growth rates are also a result of currencies' depreciation against the US dollar.
Today's trade news is shaped by a marked slowdown in 2015 world exports. According to UNCTAD/WTO estimates, measured in current US dollars, global merchandise exports plummeted by 13% in 2015. Services exports declined by 6%.

Warehouse/DC: Petco strengthens the DC network
With its new DC, the pet retailer has reduced its handling costs, bolstered its green transportation initiatives, and fortifies its overall distribution network—all while providing room to grow.
Over the past 45 years, Petco Animal Supplies, Inc. has built a national brand as the place where pets and their owners go, helping more animals to live long and happy lives. Today, the San Diego-based retailer has a footprint in all 50 states, with more than 1,000 stores and a growing e-commerce business.
To support the company's growth, Petco partnered with TGW Systems to design and implement the materials handling system in its new 506,000 square foot distribution center (DC) in Braselton, Ga. The facility, which went live in June 2008, services 237 stores in 13 states in the Southeastern and Southwestern U.S.

South Korea
Veritas in Seoul
Program Overview
This program is offered in colloboration with Veritas Christian Study Abroad at the Konkuk University in Seoul, Korea. South Korea (or the Republic of Korea) is one of the most highly developed and stable democracies in East Asia. The history of civilization on the Korean peninsula dates back almost 4,000 years, and the country itself has existed since 1948.
Students are required to take a Religion and Culture course and an International Missions/Service-learning practicum taught by local Veritas staff, and a beginning language course. The remainder of the courses will be taken at Konkuk University. For a sample list of courses go to courses. Scroll to the bottom to see a partial list of courses taught in English.
The student will fill out two applications:
• George Fox off-campus application form (obtained from the Center for Study Abroad; or downloaded here)
• Veritas Christian Study Abroad application (to be completed online here). An application fee must accompany your application.
* The Veritas Christian Study Abroad application should only be completed after being informed from the Director of Study Abroad that you are accepted for an off-campus study semester.
Students must be full-time undergraduates with junior or senior status, holding a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher to apply. There is NO language requirement.
Because students remain enrolled at George Fox University while participating with Veritas, academic credit is awarded by George Fox. Students will typically take 16 credit hours. Students will be required to attend two pre-departure meetings, complete an online course evaluation, and attend a re-entry meeting upon their return. Students must see the transfer credit specialist in the Registrars office BEFORE they begin their semester off-campus.
Students will live in the Konkuk University Student Dormitory. Veritas students will live amongst Korean and International students.

Helping Plants to Help Themselves (page 3 of 3)
by William Bryant Logan
Quick Mycorrhizae Facts
* There are 150 different species of vascular-arbuscular endomycorrhizal (VAM) fungi and hundreds if not thousands of ectomycorrhizal fungi. Only three ericoid mycorrhizal fungi are known.
* Mycorrhizal fungi are more specific to the soil than to plants. If your soil is poor quality -- dry and compact, with little or no topsoil -- adding mycorrhizal fungi will likely enhance your plants' ability to find and extract nutrients.
* Mycorrhizal plants are much better at extracting phosphorus from soils where the nutrient is unavailable due to pH.
* Food crops known to respond to endomycorrhizae include apple, artichoke, celery, corn, eggplant, fig, garlic, grapes, onion, pistachio, potato, soybean, squash, strawberry, and tomato.
* Older varieties of plants often respond more favorably to mycorrhizae than newer hybrid varieties.
* To determine if mycorrhizal fungi are present in your soil, send a soil sample to a lab for biological testing and analysis. The test results will tell you how to amend your soil for optimum plant health.

Human beings and other animals have a silicon capital. On average we find 5 to 7 grams of silicon in our body. As time goes by, this capital is depleted. Silicon does not remain in the body; we need to continuously supply it through the foods we eat and via supplements. Unfortunately, as we age our bodies become less efficient at absorbing silicon. Worse yet, we no longer get enough silica from our foods to rebuild our lost capital. This means that we are losing silicon at a greater rate than we are supplying it. Orgono Living Silica Gel is a unique form of organic silica which is highly absorbable. Its supportive qualities have been used throughout the world for more than 20 years to restore joint health, revitalize the skin, and reverse signs of aging.
Orgono Living Silica Gel is hydro-soluble and exhibits a cellular absorption level of approximately 70%. It represents the ideal option for topical absorption and involves no risk to the kidneys. Orgono Living Silica Gel combines well with many other topical lotions and gels, adding the power of bio-available silica to any other skin treatment. Silicon is one of the key elements in the connective tissue of the heart, and it plays a similar role in the brain. In this regard silicon takes on prime importance, as it is only through the action of silicon that the buildup of aluminum in the brain may be prevented. As more and more cases of aluminum toxicity are coming to light, the connection to proper supplementation with silicon becomes clear.
The main component of Orgono is fifth generation, organic-type silicon, monomethyl-silane-triol, CH3 (Si OH)3. This molecule is one of the best silicon carriers, and an activator of other molecules.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. None of this information regarding silica or our products is intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Orgono Living Silica Gel is said to increase strength of joints, build the resilience of connective tissues, and make the cells more alkaline. With increasing application of Orgono Living Silica Gel, one may regain the luster of youthful skin, improve hair quality, and reverse joint pain.
|Suggested Use
Orgono Living Silica Gel may be applied at any time of day. For best results, appy a small dab to the affected area and let rest undisturbed for up to 20 minutes before gently rubbing in. The longer Orgono Living Silica Gel is left on the skin undisturbed, the greater the potential for smoother skin, reduced scarring, and reversal of wrinkles.

Wrestling Team Splits For Midlands, Wilkes Open Competitions
As it prepares for the heart of both the Ivy League and EIWA seasons, the Princeton wrestling team is splitting into two groups to compete over the next three days.
A group of five will head to Northwestern for the prestigious Midlands Championships, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this weekend. Freshmen Max Rogers (125) and Scott Gibbons (184) will join upperclassmen Zach Bintliff (149), Ryan Callahan (174) and Dan Santoro (197) in the star-studded field.
These five don't need to look too far back in Princeton history to see just how important a strong Midlands run can be for your season. Last year, sophomore Adam Krop made an unseeded run to third place, which his only loss coming by one point to the top seed; that performance propelled him into the national Top 20, and he built on that confidence with a strong second half and his debut at the NCAA Championships.
While Krop finished third, senior teammate Daniel Kolodzik placed eighth overall in his final Midlands competition. Over the next two months, he became Princeton's first honoree on the All-Ivy League First Team since 2003 and finished one match short of All-America honors.
Gibbons currently leads the team with 11 victories, though Bintliff made a strong run before the holiday break and comes in with eight wins, including one in the December dual finale against UT-Chattanooga. Callahan, who also won that day, has a 4-3 record after preseason injuries limited him competition schedule. Rogers has three victories at 125, while Santoro is working himself back into form after an injury-plagued start to his sophomore season.
The 50th Ken Kraft Midlands Championships take place Dec. 29-30 at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Tickets for the event are available by calling 888-GO-PURPLE.
Meanwhile, Princeton will send 10 wrestlers to the 2012 Wilkes Open, held Dec. 28 at Wilkes University. Competing for the Tigers will be: Jake Intrator, Kevin Moylan, Nick Maselli, Kyle Roddy, Seth Hazleton, Steven Leshinger, Grayson Shepperd, Charles Fox, Josh Ellis, and Judd Ziegler.

A WWE spokesperson contacted the Orlando Sentinel Tuesday to dispute elements of the ABC News Nightline story and our blog, which referred to the ABC story, about former WWE CEO Linda McMahon.
We referred to lack of adequate steroid testing and the ABC story referred to the lack of health care and penchants for former wrestlers, both of which the WWE spokesperson disputes.
Robert Zimmerman, Vice President of Public Relations and Corporate Communications, said the WWE does have an abuse and drug testing policy. After a 10-year absence, the WWE reinstated drug testing in 2006 under the umbrella of the Talent Wellness Program.
The Talent Wellness Program provides some medical services for current wrestlers under contract, but they are expected to pay for any non wrestling related health care services. Retired wrestlers are not covered.
Wrestlers are considered independent contractors and are paid an average of $550,000.
Vince McMahon told the Connecticut Post in July "anyone who makes the kind of money that they make can easily afford their own health care. Most independent contractors have their own health care."
Keep in mind pro wrestlers also pay for almost all of their travel expenses, food and accommodations and the WWE season is 365 days a year.
ABC News recently interviewed and profiled retired WWE CEO Linda McMahon, who is running for a seat in the U.S. Senate for the state of Connecticut. Should she win, McMahon would become the first female senator in the state's history.

Brooke Kott
Sep 5, 2013
GREENVILLE, N.C. - The ECU men's and women's cross country teams will travel to Wilmington, N.C., for their second meet of the season when they compete at the Seahawk Invitational on Friday, Sept. 6.
In last weekend's season-opening meet - the Covered Bridge Invitational hosted by Appalachian State - the Pirates' women's team recorded a third-place showing after placing four runners among the top-20 finishers, while the men's team placed fourth.
Brooke Kott was the top finisher for the Lady Pirates as she recorded a time of 19:05.01 for a 12th-place finish in the 5K. She was followed by senior Stefanie Fresenius (19:10.34), freshman Caitlyn Sheva (19:17.31), and senior Chelsea Hollingsworth (19:20.51), who placed 15th, 17th, and 19th, respectively.
On the men's side, redshirt senior Cory Hampshire led ECU with a time of 26:10.39 for eighth place in the 8K. The redshirt senior from Shenandoah Junction, W.Va., was the only Pirate to finish in the top 10. Senior Chase Miller earned a 14th-place finish with a time of 26:25.33.

Von Eschenbach: FDA Wants Closer Ties with Industry . . .
Ignoring the growing outcry over drug safety and consumer fears that the Food and Drug Administration has grown too close to the firms it regulates, commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach told a press briefing last week that he'd like to see the agency forge closer ties with the drug, biotechnology and medical device companies, the New York Times and other news outlets reported. "The point is that we need to look at the role of the F.D.A. in being a bridge to the future, not a barrier to the future," he said. The House Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), will hold a hearing this week on the agency's failure to act in a timely manner on GlaxoSmithKline's Avandia, the diabetes drug that increases the risk of heart attacks, according to a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine.
. . . While Avandia Study Author Alleges FDA Smear Campaign
Dr. Steve Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic, who co-wrote that Avandia study, last week accused a former industry p.r. man now working for the FDA of running an Internet smear campaign against him, Nightline reported. Douglas Arbesfeld allegedly circulated an email to reporters accusing Nissen of threatening drug manufacturers with negative reviews of their products if they did not use the Cleveland Clinic for drug trials. Nissen denied the accusation. An FDA spokesman said Arbesfeld's email did not represent the views of the agency.
Exxon Shareholders Axe Alternative Energy Push
In a defeat for environmentalists, Exxon Mobil shareholders last week voted down resolutions aimed at limiting the oil giant's greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the company's investment in renewable technologies, the Washington Post reported. The resolution seeking company support for greenhouse gas limits won 31 percent of shareholder votes, a respectable showing. But the resolution aimed at increasing the company's investment in renewable energy research and development won just 7 percent of votes. Exxon CEO Rex W. Tillerson said oil and gas would remain dominant for at least another quarter century despite growing popular support for greenhouse gas limits and alternative fuels.

Should Shrek Disclose?
DreamWorks' Shrek, the friendly green ogre now in his third incarnation at movie theaters everywhere, is fronting for both McDonald's and a U.S. government anti-obesity campaign, the Boston Globe reported. In order to avoid appearing to endorse the movie, the Department of Health and Human Services last week temporarily pulled its public service ad where Shrek urges children to exercise. But the agency plans to resume running the ad in about six weeks. Shrek is also promoting about 75 food products, including McDonald's Happy Meals, M&Ms, and Pop-Tarts, according to the story.
Odds and Ends
The House Natural Resources committee has launched an investigation into allegations in the Contra Costa Times that former Interior Department official Julie MacDonald removed the splittail fish from the endangered species list while earning $1 million a year from a farm located within the disputed habitat. She resigned from her post as assistant secretary for Fish, Wildlife and Parks last month . . . The ex-head of China's FDA was sentenced to death for corrupt practices including the approval of faulty antibiotics that killed 6 people and injured 80 . . . Some scientists say the EPA is using risk assessment tests that are poorly designed and easily manipulated by the chemical industry, according to Dallas News.
Cheers and Jeers:

Rated 5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by retired99 Excellent, one exception We loved the product. We just wish they had the "hot" spice ingredient as an optional addition. Not everyone enjoys hot/peppery food. Otherwise, great. Wish it were available to order online since we live over an hour from the store. January 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by SuzRue Delicious & so easy! Actually, this is beyond delicious; my family loves it! It's so easy to prepare & put in the oven for 90 mins. I use 3lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts. I also add extra noodles. A great "company's coming" meal. I haven't tried putting it in the crockpot, but I'm sure it would be just as good. An added note...I live in a rural area & have to order online. I'm always amazed by how quickly my order arrives after ordering. Great service, great meal, doesn't get any better than that. April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by PIGLET TASTE GREAT I MADE IT IN THE CROCK POT. LET IT COOK FOR 8 HOURS. MY HUSBAND LOVED IT AND WANTS MORE. WELL WORTH BUYING. March 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CindySue1 Dutch Oven Meals I love these dutch oven meals, they are so simple yet so good. My grandkids, who are hard to please, loved the Chicken Marsala. At first I thought the meal would be too watery but when everything was added and it had about 10 minutes to sit before serving it was amazing! I highly recommend these and the best part is that you can use your crockpot too (although my favorite is the dutch oven). January 24, 2013

|Vandals battle back
MESA, Ariz. – Improved putting made a tremendous difference for the University of Idaho women's golf team as the Vandals shot their lowest round of the spring and the second-lowest of the day in climbing from a tie for sixth to a tie for fourth at the Western Athletic Conference Tournament.
The Vandals, with even-par 72s from sophomore Leilanie Kim and freshman Kristin Strankman, were 16 shots better than their opening round with a 296 Tuesday. They are at 608 along with Texas State – and just one stroke back of third-place USTA's 607. Denver leads at 586 with San Jose State at 595.
"We putted significantly better," said coach Lisa Johnson, adding that birdies and steady play early on set the tone for the day. "We made some long birdie putts early in the round. That helped their confidence. We had a better sense of the speed of the greens."
Johnson said the team followed the plan it had established for the Longbow course, which benefits Idaho's ball-striking and puts a premium on an efficient short-game.
"We have a great game plan for this golf course," Johnson said. "We executed it. … It's just great to see the team playing well at the end."
Also for the Vandals, Rachel Choi's 75 pushed her 36-hole total to 151 and into a tie with Kim for 11th. Kaitlyn Oster had a 77 Tuesday for a 153 and is tied with Strankman for 16th. Cassie McKinley, not only battling the 90-degree temperatures but illness, is 34th with a 165.
Play concludes Wednesday.

Cobie Smulders
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
"I've read a lot of scripts, and I'm really luck to be able to play a woman who's funny and can be charming and has a mischievous side to her as well. I'm really lucky."
- Cobie Smulders on her role on How I Met Your Mother
You can tell everyone that you tune into How I Met Your Mother for Neil Patrick Harris's genius comedic timing, but we know it's really to spend a half hour (or at least 22 minutes) with Cobie Smulders. The Canadian actress and former model who plays Robin on the hit show had the producers at "eh" -- so much so that they decided to make her character Canadian.
Cobie Smulders appreciates her fame, but she values her time away from the camera and doesn't live for tabloid exposure. Smulders is married to fellow actor (and How I Met Your Mother guest star) Taran Killam, with whom she has a daughter. She speaks proudly of her man, but prefers to keep the intimate details of their relationship -- like Killam's romantic marriage proposal -- a secret.
Not wholly restricted to the small screen, Cobie Smulders has also appeared in films like Walking Tall with The Rock and Johnny Knoxville, The Long Weekend starring Chris Klein, the 2009 Broken Lizard comedy The Slammin' Salmon featuring Michael Clark Duncan and she also starred as Maria Hill in Joss Whedon's comic-book blockbuster The Avengers. A role she reprised in the 2013 premiere of the Agents of the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series and will continue to play in the upcoming films Captain America: Winter Soldier and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Talk about a lucrative role. Television and movie awards have eluded her thus far, but she certainly has a stable foundation to build on.
Cobie Smulders BiographyJacoba Fransisca Maria "Cobie" Smulders was born on April 3rd, 1982, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Initially, Cobie Smulders' career ambitions were in medicine and marine biology, but acting became one of her favorite pastimes once she started appearing in school productions at Lord Byng Secondary School. She also kept herself busy in sports by regularly playing tennis and soccer.
Blessed with good looks, Cobie Smulders also drew interest from the modeling community and, after landing a professional contract overseas, her work took her to destinations like Greece, Japan, Italy, Africa and Germany. Despite her busy schedule, Smulders still completed high school on time and with an honors distinction in 2000. More keen to act rather than model, Smulders opted to try her hand as an actress.
cobie smulders stars in veritas: the quest and the l wordAfter high school, Cobie Smulders began acting professionally in a number of television series that were filmed in her hometown. Her first two TV appearances came in 2002 on a pair of sci-fi programs: UPN's Special Unit 2 and the Luke Perry-led Jeremiah. Just a year later, Smulders guest-starred on Tru Calling and landed a lead role as Juliet Droil on the adventure series, Veritas: The Quest. Unfortunately, the series was canceled after only 13 episodes.
Cobie Smulders pressed on, getting valuable film exposure with a bit part in Walking Tall (starring The Rock) and a supporting role in the Canadian-made Ill Fated. In 2005, after having guest-starred on Smallville and Andromeda, Smulders enjoyed a recurring role in The L Word as Leigh Ostin, a photographer who attracts Jennifer Beals.
cobie smulders stars on how i met your mother and the slammin' salmonIn the fall of 2005, Cobie Smulders found her breakout role playing Robin Scherbatzky, a former Canadian teen singer who hooks up with Ted (Josh Radnor) on the CBS sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. Joining a cast that already included Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel, Smulders attracted a strong fan following of her own, as viewers were kept in suspense as to whether Robin was the "mother" of the title.
While enjoying the benefits of a long-running television series, Cobie Smulders still finds time to pursue other acting projects on the side. In 2005, she starred in The Long Weekend, which was top-lined by Chris Klein. In 2009, she starred as Tara in The Slammin' Salmon, a restaurant-set comedy starring Michael Clarke Duncan, produced by the Broken Lizard comedy group (Beer Fest and Super Troopers).
In 2012 Cobie made her blockbuster debut starring as Maria Hill in Joss Whedon's The Avengers which set the record for biggest opening weekend in North America. The role will continue to fuel her motion picture success as she dons that skintight unitard for Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). These films are only the first third of a nine-film commitment Cobie has made to play Maria Hill, not to mention the new series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. All we can say is we hope that suit is as easy to wear as it is to ogle.

Unemployment Insurance: Eligibility Requirements–Past Earnings and Weekly Benefits
To be eligible for any unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, you will have to prove to the Employment Development Department (EDD), the agency that handles UI, that you meet the "past earnings requirement." This requirement, which is based on the income you earned during the 18-month period before you apply for benefits, is described in detail in this Fact Sheet.
This Fact Sheet also discusses how EDD decides your "weekly benefit amount," which is the size of your weekly unemployment check.

In July, the National Institute of Health's National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP)urged millions more Americans to consider taking statin drugs to reduce their risk of heart disease. But after reviewing the five studies behind the new recommendations, more than three dozen physicians, epidemiologists, and other scientists, together with the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), today raised serious questions about whether the guidelines are supported by the scientific evidence. The researchers are urging the National Institute of Health (NIH)to seek an independent panel to re-review the studies.
The new, lower thresholds for considering cholesterol-lowering drugs apply to people with LDL (or "bad") cholesterol levels between 100 and 129. People who already have heart disease but have relatively low LDL levels between 70 and 100 should similarly consider taking statins, according to the NCEP. Lower thresholds were also proposed for millions of women and elderly people at moderately high risk of heart disease, as well as for diabetics.
But in a letter to the heads of the National Institutes of Health, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the NCEP, the physicians and scientists urge an independent review of the scientific studies behind the new recommendations. "There is strong evidence to suggest that an objective, independent re-evaluation of the scientific evidence from the five new studies of statin therapy would lead to different conclusions than those presented by the current NCEP," the scientists wrote.
"The studies cited do not demonstrate that statins benefit women of any age or men over 70 who do not already have heart disease," said John Abramson, a clinical instructor in primary care at the Harvard Medical School. "Furthermore, we are concerned about the findings from one of the five cited studies showing that statin therapy significantly increases the risk of cancer in the elderly."
Eight of the nine authors of the July recommendations have financial ties to statin manufacturers, including Pfizer, Merck, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and AstraZeneca—a fact that was not disclosed when the recommendations were first published in the journal Circulation. Merrill Goozner, director of the Integrity in Science project at CSPI, says that those conflicts of interest alone are enough to warrant skepticism of the NCEP findings.
"When researchers have financial relationships with drug companies, that raises red flags. When those relationships are concealed, alarm bells start going off," said Goozner. "Drug companies want to sell more drugs and they fund studies to further that goal. That's why it is critical that scientists who review industry-funded studies and write clinical practice guidelines on behalf of the government be completely free of conflicts of interest."
The petition to NIH states that the authors of the July NCEP report ignored aspects of the studies that suggested that the new guidelines should not be applied to all segments of the public. For instance:
The scientists in their letter to NIH pointed out the great benefits of lifestyle changes on health—something that only received passing reference in the NCEP report. According to CSPI, media coverage of the report largely ignored the lifestyle and diet recommendations or placed them near the ends of their stories.
"The sad fact is that these lifestyle recommendations are being largely ignored, partly because the 'experts,' many of whom have conflicts of interest through their relationships with statin manufacturers, focus ever more attention on lowering cholesterol with expensive drugs," the letter stated. "The vast majority of heart disease can be prevented by adopting healthy habits. The American people are poorly served when government-sanctioned clinical recommendations, uncritically amplified by the media, misdirect attention and resources to expensive medical therapies that may not be scientifically justified."
Among the signatories on the CSPI letter are R. James Barnard, Ph.D., from the University of California, Los Angeles; cardiologist David L. Brown, MD from Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Beth Israel Medical Center; Christopher Gardner, Ph.D., from Stanford University; and Philip R. Lee, MD, from Stanford University.For more information, contact: Center for Science in the Public Interest

Frequently Asked Questions
Is volume software licensing (VSL) an option for my company?
Volume licensing programs are designed for organizations that need to provide a particular software product to multiple employees. Minimum requirements vary by publisher, but generally speaking, volume licensing is beneficial in cases where you need five or more copies. If you need less than five copies, multiuser retail packs might be a good alternative.
With a VSL program, how long will my company own the license?
The term of the license agreement varies by program. Some programs provide a perpetual license, which means you are compliant as long as the software is in use. Upgrades and support are covered separately and typically renew on an annual basis.
What is a "media kit" and how do I get one?
When you purchase software under a volume licensing program, some publishers provide you with a media kit consisting of disks containing the software and documentation. You can then copy the software on as many systems as your licensing program allows. Some software publishers give you the option to download the software from a website.
Can I purchase software in volume online?
Dell sells software online to customers who typically buy less than five copies of a software title, in which case, minimum requirements and contract validation are not an issue. If you need five or more copies of a title, you should consider entering a volume licensing agreement. To do so, your best option is to contact the Dell™ VSL team for assistance. Your Dell account manager will give you all the options and ensure that you are set up with the program that best meets your needs at the best possible price.
If a new version of my software is released within my license period, will my company be eligible for an upgrade?
Upgrade eligibility is defined by the software publisher as described in the maintenance terms of your VSL agreement.
Is technical support available with volume licensing?
Yes. Software publishers directly support and maintain your volume-licensed software according to the maintenance terms described in your VSL program.
Who do I contact if I experience a problem with my software — Dell or the software publisher?
Typically, you contact the software publisher. It is a standard practice in the software industry for the publisher to directly support and maintain volume-licensed software according to the maintenance terms described in your VSL program.
How do I renew my license?
The renewal process varies from publisher to publisher. Your Dell account manager can assist you and answer any questions you may have about the details of your program.
After purchase, do I still direct my questions to my Dell account manager or do I work with a software specialist?
Your Dell account manager is the main point of contact who will continually monitor your account, answer your questions and connect you with the right software specialists to help meet your needs as they arise.
There are three main types of volume licensing programs offered by publishers: transactional, contractual and subscription. Each program is specific to the publisher, and includes their specific terms and rules. The table below gives you a general comparison of these common program structures.
Program Type Organizations Served Key Benefits Signed Contract Required? Term Forecasting Required? Minimum Purchase Required? Minimum Reorder? Upgrade Protection Technical Support
Transactional License Program Contractual License Program Subscription License Program Transactional (noncontractual) Contractual Contractual Generally aimed at any sized organization that wants the maximum flexibility in a licensing program Generally aimed at medium to large organizations that are able to commit to purchase requirements to get greater discounts Generally aimed at any sized organization that prefers to rent rather than own software rights Often gives you the benefit of volume pricing with little or no purchasing commitments or other program requirements Discount levels are often based on "points" that may be cumulative over the term of the program and earn higher discount levels based on volume over time Generally, renting access to software rather than owning licenses outright makes it more affordable; you generally have access to upgrade and technical support as part of your subscription No. Transactional programs generally apply on a transaction-by-transaction basis and don't require contracts Usually. Some programs require paper contracts, others only require electronic agreement Sometimes there is a subscription contract, often not Usually, there is no term associated with these programs — each transaction is treated individually The term of the program is usually specified between 1 and 3 years The term of the subscription is usually specified between 1 and 3 years; sometimes, multiyear subscriptions are available at discount compared to 1-year subscriptions No Sometimes discount levels are based on forecasted needs No No. With some programs, you enjoy a standard discount level; with others, your order size may determine your discount level Yes. Usually, there is a minimum initial order size specified Usually, the minimum purchase is one subscription No. The applicable discount level is applied to each transaction Sometimes a minimum reorder is specified, sometimes not; often, discount level improves by volume purchased over the term of the program No. Usually, there are no minimums; in some cases, you get better pricing based on the number of subscriptions you order. Typically, upgrade protection is available for purchase, though it may be included in some cases. Typically, upgrade protection is available for purchase, though it may be included in some cases. Often upgrade support is an included benefit of the program; sometimes it is available for purchase.

Osteoporosis of the spine
James Hawkins, MD, s a board-certified spinal surgeon on staff at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: My grandmother has constant pain and cannot do her normal activities due to a compression fracture from osteoporosis of her spine. What can be done to help her?
Answer: In the past, the most doctors could offer a patient such as your grandmother was a back brace, pain medicines and the hope that the pain may get better with time. Now, there are other options that can provide an almost pain-free life. Kyphoplasty is a new minimally-invasive procedure used to eliminate the pain of a compression fracture and to help people return to normal activities. With kyphoplasty, two small incisions are made in the skin over the broken bone, through which tubes similar to stirring straws are inserted into the center of the bone. Through these thin tubes, small balloons are inserted and then inflated within the compressed bone to restore its height. These balloons are then removed and bone cement is injected into the created space to solidify the broken bone and restore its strength. Most patients undergoing kyphoplasty have immediate relief and some go home from the hospital the same day.
Of course, these are only two of the ways back pain can be treated. Talk to you physician today and discuss your pain. Don't hesitate to ask to see a spine specialist to talk about your options.

ZF-8156: Zend_Validate_Identical : __construct method doesn't take an array
Imho, the component should take an array too, in its __construct method to allow the use with array configured elements. With the last SVN version of the file, it doesn't work anymore for me.
Here's my code :
$this->addElement( 'checkbox', 'confirm', array(
'label' => '#__label::confirm_your_will_to_remove_this__#',
'validators' => array(
'validator' => 'Identical',
'options' => array(
'token' => '1',
'messages' => array(
'notSame' => '#__error::you_have_to_confirm_your_will__#'
'required' => true
) );
And when I Zend_Debug::dump( ...->getToken() ), I get this :
array(1) {
["token"] => string(1) "1"
when it should be :
I don't figure out why it does this like that now, with the 1.9.4, everything's ok.
Maybe something like this ?
public function __construct($token = null)
if ($token instanceof Zend_Config) {
$token = $token->toArray();
if ( is_array( $token ) ) {
if (array_key_exists('token', $token)) {
$token = $token['token'];
} else {
require_once 'Zend/Validate/Exception.php';
throw new Zend_Validate_Exception("Missing option 'token'");
if (null !== $token) {
Out of curiosity, what do you want to archive ? Comparing "1" with an object will not work... this will never return true.
Why do you expect that you must give array("token" => xxxx) as parameter ? It is no-where documented this way.
Sorry to say that, but it could not have worked since below 1.6. I did not check before this release.
The messages are stripped by Zend_Form. All remaining options are set as is to the validator.
This means you have set ``` as token.
When you would simply set '1' instead of array(xxx), then you would have the expected behaviour.
Note that the identical validator validates now "ANY" datastructure for identical-ness. Previously all inputs were converted to string. For Arrays this meant that you had "array" which produced wrong behaviour.
So you tell me that there's no way to customize the messages ? It sounds weird to me, because it was working like that for me without any problem.
Since months, I generated my forms by passing an array or a Zend_Config object containing all my options, including the custom messages. It stopped working when I updated Zend from the SVN this morning.
If I understand what you are saying, how do I write my array of options to specify my custom messages ?
See you.
Your issue was about "token" not being recognised as input for configuration.
It was not about customizing messages.
When your problem is that "messages" is not recognised as parameter within the validator, then you should use the correct notation. Because in this case Zend_Validate is not the problem, as you are using Zend_Form and it is Zend_Form which sets the messages on the validator.
My issue was about "token", yes, but as I didn't understand that it is Zend_Form which sets the messages on the validator, I tought it was an issue. I understand better now that Zend_Form does that messages setting stuff.
But in this case, why do you allow passing a Zend_Config object? I don't really understand why if the expected behaviour is to pass only the token (so one and ONLY ONE value), and why a Zend_Config object and not an array or not both. In this case, why bothering to check if this is a Zend_Config object?
See you.
Just because you don't understand features which are documented and available for other use cases does not mean that this features are useless.
Please note that the feature you are disapointed about is available only for 1.10 and above, and not for 1.9.5 as reported by you.
So what is your issue about ?
Hey, I'm not disapointed and I don't say this features is useless. It's not because I'm asking "why" that I think it's useless or wrong.
You answered my question above and so my issue wasn't an issue. End of the issue. Sorry bothering you with my questions, I didn't think I was so misplaced.
Implemented with r18724. Rewrote manual.
Note that the origin of this issue is no issue as already mentioned. You need to set the options for Zend_Form properly to get translated messages.
