Ryan Clark spurns Miami Dolphins
Just got off the phone with Joel Turner, the agent for safety Ryan Clark, who probably isn't very popular with Miami Dolphins fans right now.
Clark spent all day Monday at the Dolphins' facility in Davie. He came to town on a free-agent visit saying he had every intention of signing as Gibril Wilson's replacement if things went well.
And then, after he went back to his hotel at the end of a long day of physical examination (which he passed) and get-to-know-you discussions, he called Turner and told him to make a deal that would keep him with the Steelers.
Family considerations and loyalty to an organization that took him from anonymous grinder to Super Bowl champion were the driving factors in that phone call.
Clark signed back with the Steelers for four more years, leaving the Dolphins back at square one in their search for an upgrade at free safety.
"This is no indictment in any way of the Dolphins organization," Turner said. "He just didn't want to be there."
Clark arrived on Sunday night and had plenty of time to get the feel of the Dolphins and their plans for him.
"Those guys were great," Turner said. "They treated him great, showed him a good time. They're going to be successful with him or without him. He just felt he needed to be somewhere else."
That somewhere else was Pittsburgh, where his wife and three young children have become extremely comfortable.
"They're happy," Turner said. "I would hope anybody with a family could understand that. Anybody who doesn't have a family and can't understand that, I hope someday they will."
How close did Clark come to becoming a Dolphin?
"I don't know if you can quantify that," Turner said.
Was there ever a point Monday or even earlier where Turner thought his client was going to be a Dolphin?
"I can't honestly say that," he said. "There was never an agreement in principle or otherwise."
And while Turner wouldn't confirm any details of the Steelers deal beyond the four-year term, he said Clark "probably did" leave some money on the table with this decision.
What happened between the time Clark left the Dolphins and made that call back to his agent?
"Pretty much he left the facility and went back to the hotel to get his belongings together," Turner said. "He just had to have some time to himself to think about things."
Clark reportedly told Fox 31 in Denver that "in the end both sides got what they wanted," speaking of the Steelers. "My plan was to retire a Steeler. It took a little longer than I wanted it to to get this deal done."
Monday afternoon, the Steelers signed former Buccaneers safety Will Allen — different guy — but left room for Clark just in case.
In the end, as Clark headed for the airport, it was up to Turner to make the difficult call to Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland.
"He handled it like you'd expect a professional to do," Turner said. "There are good people in this business and real good people. Jeff is definitely one of the latter."
Remember, Turner also represents Dolphins backup quarterback Tyler Thigpen. It wouldn't behoove him to "use" the Dolphins just to get a better deal for Clark back in Pittsburgh, and Turner made it clear to Ireland that wasn't what happened here.
"I told him just what it is," Turner said. "I said, 'Sorry we couldn't make this thing work. Hope to do some more business with you later.' "
So how do you feel about Ryan Clark now? And who would you go after next to fill that free safety spot?

ZF-5932: $event->when looks for an array, not a string
The setWhen method of Zend_Gdata_Kind_EventEntry expects an array as its argument. The document is inconsistent between examples in 184.108.40.206 and 126.96.36.199; of the three examples given, two treat as an array and one as a single instance. Patch:

Hi Zachary, many thanks for the patch, it's much appreciated!
However, before I can apply it, you'll need to have a signed Contributor License Agreement (CLA) on file with the Zend Framework project. Instructions on doing this and an FAQ are here:
Would you be okay with this? Please let me know if you have any questions.
I have no problem with the Agreement. I'll fax it back to you shortly.
Please follow up on this issue to let me know once the CLA has been received by Zend. I don't work there, so I won't get notified otherwise. :)
I faxed the CLA to Zend last night. I don't know if there's other confirmation to be obtained, and I haven't heard anything from them.
The CLA has been received and processed.
I had to rebuild the patch, because Jira treated spaces and such as formatting, causing me to get the following error:

The Park Record
Five years ago, the Marriott Summit Watch needed new housekeeping staff members. At the time, hiring a group of Burmese refugees seemed like a good business decision - with help from Utah's Department of Workforce Services and the Refugee Services Office, hiring the refugees was an easy process. It's unlikely that the hiring managers at the time realized that three of their new hires - No Lian, Are Min and Oo Mon from Burma - would become such an important part of the Marriott family.
The three who were the first refugee group hired, were honored by the Marriott last Friday, Feb. 8th, with a ceremony at the hotel.
Speaking with the refugees, Benlap, and Mary Perkins, the housekeeping manager, it's clear that this is a tight knit group. "We are a family," Are Min said happily while the others nodded in agreement. Perkins agrees, "We have a really great melting pot in our break room," she said, "it's amazing to know everyone.
However, hiring refugees did not come without a few hiccups. Company lore tells of mishaps like dishwashers overflowing with suds from Palmolive, or the machines being loaded with toasters. "We had to learn their culture to teach and train them," Belnap says of the early days working with the refugees.
These days, transitions for refugees working at the Marriott are becoming a little easier. Are Min, unofficially serves as the Marriott's representative to help new refugees. He also works with Refugee Services to help those new to the area buy groceries, find places to do laundry, and adjust to life in Utah. He also encourages other refugees to apply to the Marriott Summit Watch. "We talk about how much better this Marriott is," he says.
The Marriott is also very happy with their Burmese employees and Belnap says the company frequently speaks with other employers in Utah about the benefits of hiring refugees. "[It's] rewarding in every way," he said, "these are hardworking people, working to benefit themselves and their families." Another advantage to hiring refugees versus other foreign employees is that they are legal to work as soon as they arrive, said Perkins. Are Min says a few of the other hotels in Park City also hire refugees including the Canyons, Westgate, and Montage, among others.
The Marriott Summit Watch's team is a success story not only for the hiring of refugees, but also a case study in the community that these refugees build once they arrive in the U.S.. Are Min concluded the interview by expressing gratitude for the Marriott Summit Watch and the U.S.. "Life is easier here, we are not happy with the government in Burma," said Min. "We want to say thank you to the United States' government, we like democracy. We are very loved in the U.S."

OK, the children are back in school. Parents are busy dealing with getting all the back to school items their children forgot to mention they needed, sorting out what it is they want in their lunches, counselling their off-spring as they complain about who's sitting next to them in class or on the bus and realizing that they have to re-learn everything they thought they would never need to know, just so they can help their kids with homework!
Ah, but you are grandparents or perhaps folks that decided the above path wasn't for you. Of course you love the little "rug-rats" but whichever category you fall into, this is a very special time for you too. You've had your fun with the grand-kids all summer and now it's time to focus on you. You've dealt with all the lines for the really cool things to see & do but now there are no children to be seen and access to attractions is suddenly easy (and quiet). This is your time to travel.

Spec Martin Stadium upgrades on 'fast track'
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 5:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 8:48 p.m.
DELAND --- Construction crews are on a "fast track" to improve Spec Martin Stadium for the return of Stetson University football this fall, refurbishing locker rooms and getting ready to build a three-story press box.
The $3.2 million upgrade to the municipal stadium should be done by late July, just in time for the Stetson Hatters to kick off their first football season since 1956.
Stetson football players have already been practicing and holding scrimmages for a few months. Starting this fall, the university will play in the NCAA's Pioneer Football League, a Division I Football Championship Subdivision conference that is mostly home to other small, private colleges, such as Jacksonville University in Jacksonville, Fla., and Marist College in upstate New York.
"It's going very well," said David Trindade, project manager with The Collage Companies, the Lake Mary company doing the work. "It's a fast-track project, but it's going very well and we're on schedule."
The city of DeLand is upgrading the stadium with a new three-story press box, new locker rooms, a training facility and other improvements. Work began in early December with the demolition of the old press box.
DeLand Parks & Recreation Director Rick Hall confirmed the project is going well and on budget.
"All indications are that we're close to being on schedule," said Hall. "They've made a lot of progress in the refurbishing of the existing locker rooms. They're working on all the new plumbing, all the old flooring is kind of ripped up."
The construction will cost $2.5 million, with the balance of the $3.2 million going toward a new scoreboard, sound system, locker-room furnishings and other amenities.
The existing visitor's locker room will be converted into a training room and coaches' locker room, while the existing home locker room will be refurbished and made into a visitor's locker room.
A new locker room will be built for the home team, and Hall said crews are getting ready to lay down the pad where it will be constructed.
Hall said getting the site prepared for the new press box has probably been the most time-consuming part of the project so far, but he expects construction to progress rapidly once the foundation is in.
"We had a little bit of a setback initially because they had to redesign the foundation aspect of it, because when they dug into the embankment they found some concrete buttresses that they didn't know were there," he said. "They were supporting the old press box and the seating area."
Still, Trindade is optimistic about the project.
"We're just coming out of the ground and I'm sure, as with all construction, there's going to be some challenges," he said. "But we'll overcome them."

Women's Basketball Clinches Share of Fourth Consecutive Ivy Title
When the Class of 2013 stepped onto campus they joined a Princeton women's basketball team that had gone 14-14 the year before. Like the missing link to a budding program, the quartet has guided the Tigers to the outright Ivy League title the last three years and they have won 20 or more games the last four seasons.
Friday's 77-44 victory over Yale clinched a share of the 2013 conference crown. With a win tomorrow over Brown, Princeton (20-6, 11-1 Ivy) claims solo stake of the title for the fourth consecutive season. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m. versus the Bears in Jadwin Gym.
Poised by the defense Princeton tripped up Yale early, allowing the offense to garner its bearings. Unlike the first meeting between both teams in New Haven, the Tigers took some time before they were able to establish a double figure lead.
With 7:37 to play in the first half, Niveen Rasheed provided it with a pair of free throws to put Princeton up 19-9. It was the final push the squad needed to take complete control of the game.
Rasheed was one of four in double figures, tallying 21 points, eight rebounds and seven assists all for game-highs.
Joining Rasheed were Blake Dietrick, Kate Miller and Mariah Smith who all had 10 points apiece. Senior Megan Bowen nearly made if five in double digits with nine points and six defensive boards.
Princeton capitalized on Yale's 23 turnovers, converting them into 25 points, while making 16 fast break and 32 bench points.
Following the game, legendary Princeton basketball player Bill Bradley '65 and Princeton President Shirley Tilghman spoke to the team about the strides they had made not just this year, but as a program.
And for this group, they are the first team since the 1974-78 Tigers to win four consecutive conference titles.

ZF-2873: Setting date with array gives wrong result
include ('Zend/Date.php');
$date = new Zend_Date();
'year' => 2008,
'month' => 5,
'day' => 29,
'hour' => 23,
'minute' => 59,
'second' => 59
echo $date->get(Zend_Date::ISO_8601);
Expected result: 2008-05-29T23:59:59+02:00
Actual result: 2008-05-30T00:59:59+02:00
When i set the date individually over the Zend_Date->set() method with the constants. It works correct.
include ('Zend/Date.php');
$date = new Zend_Date();
$date->set(2008, Zend_Date::YEAR);
$date->set(5, Zend_Date::MONTH);
$date->set(29, Zend_Date::DAY);
$date->set(23, Zend_Date::HOUR);
$date->set(59, Zend_Date::MINUTE);
$date->set(59, Zend_Date::SECOND);
echo $date->get(Zend_Date::ISO_8601);
Result: 2008-05-29T23:59:59+02:00
include ('Zend/Date.php');
$date = new Zend_Date();
echo $date->get(Zend_Date::ISO_8601);
Result: 2008-05-29T23:59:59+02:00
No, this is not an issue...
You defined to use the actual time... we now have wintertime. Then you said to set the date 29.05.2008... this date is in summertime... so you have a gap of one hour in the date object from the actual date and the new date. As you define your new time in the old date (you set the complete array) the gap of one hour is added as result to the change of being in summertime.
When you rely on UTC you will not have any gap because UTC does not have a summer/wintertime.
This issue is (partitially) identical with ZF-2587.
- Can you tell me what is the difference between the other two methods.
- Is it possible to create a date ,with an array, that gives me the result: 2008-05-29T23:59:59+02:00
An example: I will calculate a membership time. This membership time shall expire at 2008-05-29T23:59:59 at german time.
- You are using different constants. Which you should use depends on your input.
- Yes
O sorry my english is not the best. That what i mean for point 1 is what is the difference between the first example and the other two examples. Can you give me an example for point two?
What is the best method to create a date in a timezone they differs from the main time zone which was set by the date_default_timezone_set() function?
Best regards
I'm assuming this fix is merged to the 1.5 release branch for release with 1.5.1. Please update JIRA if this is not the case.
The constant DATES is different depending on the used locale. The format it produces is for example "dd.MM.yyyy" or "MM/dd/yyyy"...
Your second example uses fixed constants which are not different depending on the locale. That's what I meant with "you are using different constants".
We do not code anything for people... see this as exception to this rule:
require_once 'Zend/Date.php';
$date = new Zend_Date();
$date->set(array('year' => 2008, 'month' => 5, 'day' => 29));
$date->setTime(array('hour' => 23, 'minute' => 59, 'second' => 59));
echo $date->getIso();

City and EA Sports renew partnership
- 23 July 2013 11:26
- Posted by @dclayton_mcfc
Manchester City FC is delighted to announce it has renewed its award-winning partnership with global video games company, Electronic Arts Inc, reaffirming EA SPORTS as the Club's official gaming partner.
The alliance has been a big hit with fans over the last two years and has witnessed a number of innovative collaborations between the parties.
The three-year extension was announced today in Hong Kong as part of City's summer pre-season tour and will enable City to continue reaching its global network of fans via digital content.
The partnership has brought City fans closer to the action than ever before with FIFA gaming pods installed in the Etihad Stadium's Family Stand and an EA SPORTS Blue Zone – an experiential gaming hub - in the heart of the club's pre-match fan entertainment area, City Square.
Hospitality guests on match-days have also been catered for via the creation of a bespoke EA SPORTS ten-seat box, complete with luxury gaming chairs, a 42" LED screen, gaming consoles and all of the latest EA titles.
Most significantly away from the pitch, has been the Club's rapid growth in global popularity within the FIFA series.
Commenting on the partnership, Tom Glick, Chief Commercial and Operating Officer for Manchester City Football Club said: "EA SPORTS is one of the best known brands in the world, not only within the games industry, but also among sports fans the world over. Proof positive of the appeal to our supporters is that registrations among City fans for FIFA 13 - one of the all-time top selling global games - has way exceeded the 400,000 mark. This is a remarkable figure and is testament to the strength of this now established partnership.
"We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished together over the last two years and even more excited about what we can continue to achieve together in the future."
Jamie McKinlay, VP Marketing EA SPORTS commented: "We're delighted to be extending our partnership with Manchester City. The Club has proved themselves to be forward thinking in their approach, with a willingness to expand and digitise their partnership efforts through EA SPORTS FIFA. This has proved a huge success and we're only too pleased to be able to continue our relationship."

Let's face it.
It's been a rough year in sports. From NFL to NBA lockouts to basketball brawls – abroad and at home – multiple sex scandals and beyond, sports fans could use a few reasons to cheer.
Tim Tebow has offered the perfect escape. Whether you love to cheer against or for him, at least you're watching and enjoying (hopefully) his football games. Even more impressive, perhaps, Tebow has taken a largely irrelevant Denver Broncos team that few NFL fans cared about nationally – outside of the Mile High city – and transformed this team into must-see television.
Tim Tebow, Matt Prater (former UCF kicker) and Denver's defense once again helped pull off another thrilling fourth quarter comeback, this time a 13-10 win against the injury-riddled Chicago Bears. That win marked the sixth consecutive win since Tim Tebow was named the Denver Broncos starter.
During the Sunday night football broadcast on NBC, Bob Costas astutely pointed out that the only quarterback with a higher winning percentage this year than Tim Tebow is Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers. And the ever-popular subject of Tim Tebow's Christian beliefs came up again, but Costas seemed to approach this with a balanced view.
Bob Costas – "Still, there is no doubt that Tebow and his team benefit from his honest belief. How? Frank Bruni put it well in today's New York Times. Whatever Tebow may lack in classic NFL quarterbacking traits, he possesses other qualities in abundance. And in his case, those qualities — confidence, equanimity, optimism — and a presence that can't be explained, but can certainly be felt. The whole Tebow persona derives from how he sees the world, and his place in it. Those qualities, no matter how one comes by them, are an asset, perhaps especially in sports.
Good for Tebow, and those who share his beliefs. And those who don't can still acknowledge, and appreciate, that who Tim Tebow is, is not only genuine, but for the moment at least, it makes him and the Broncos, one of the most fascinating, and in whatever sense you interpret it, uplifting stories in sports."

|The hike from Clinton reservoir to the Little Bartlett/Bartlett saddle is easy and pleasant. Yes, Bartlett Mountain bears little resemblance to its original form, but the mining has turned an otherwise boring hill walk into a rather unique outing with an exciting little finish. I'd rate the summit block 3rd class. The "summit" is now more than a tenth of a mile away from the location of the original summit. If you think the devastion on Bartlett is incredible, you ain't seen nothing yet. Its little brother, Red Mountain near Berthoud Pass, is even more impressive. Owned by the same company, more advanced underground mining techniques have created a HUGE crater where the summit used to be.

|West Face Route
Date Climbed: Nov 4, 2007
|Ascended the west face route from Clinton Reservoir with Shanahan96 and Jamie Nellis. The summit area is an interesting one. We thought the northern summit was higher at first, climbed it and realized that the little finger like tower beyond was probably a foot or two higher. We dropped below the first tower and ascended to the base of the true summit. We climbed the loose and exposed 4th class tower one at a time as there is no way to have more than two feet on this thing. In fact the true summit itself is impossible to actually stand on at this point, its basically a razor thin fin of rock. The mining in this area has not been kind to this peak!

Rated 4 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Annalisa Beyond What I expected...delicious! I am new to Pandoro, read about it and bought it this holiday season to serve on Christmas Eve. I absolutely loved it and so did my guests. I sliced it horizontally, served the star shaped slices with vanilla ice cream and sprinkled powdered white sugar on top. It was such a hit, everyone loved it, even the men. My guests all asked me where I'd bought the cake and raved about the taste. Next year I'm buying TWO! December 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by marcof This is the real and best Pandoro I am Italian, born in Verona, Italy where they invented the "Pandoro". I tried tens of brands and I visited few factories too. Paluani is the best and I trust their ingredients. This desert can be eaten alone or with a mascarpone cream similar to tiramisu. If you don't like this, you don't like Pandoro. December 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ro123 A Real Italian Product!! Love it! Really delicious and tasty.. just like the one they sell in Italy! For Pandoro lovers *_* November 1, 2013

Reviews for Creamy German Potato Salad
"This is the best potato salad ever!"
"My German grandmother taught me how to make German potato salad and her recipe uses 1/4 cup of sugar, 1-1/2 Tbs. flour and equal parts of vinegar and water approximately 1/2 cup each. Sour cream can be added in place of the whipping cream just before serving. Also salt and pepper should be added to taste. She also boiled the potatoes whole and then cut them up after cooling slightly. The amount of sugar and vinegar can be adjusted to taste."
"Yes, warm is really the only way to eat German Potato Salad, it's best that way!"
"Not really a review, but based on one comment, is this eaten warm only? It sounds so good."
"On taste 5*, on preparation * moderately quick to put together. I cannot keep my fork out of the bowl.Recipe says it will feed 13. I cut it in half, i.e. 2 lbs of potatoes with 1/4 lb of bacon. It filled a 1 1/2 qt bowl. I have is enough to feed 8. Changes: half sugar half Splenda, addition of snipped chives."

|Millet earns WAC honor
University of Idaho sophomore Rachel Millet earned her second Western Athletic Conference Swimmer of the Week honor after winning four times – three individual races and one relay, in last Saturday's victory over Northern Arizona.
Millet's times in the 50 free (23.77 seconds) and 200 individual medley (2:04.17) were the best in the WAC so far this season. Her winning 200 free time (1:52.31) is the third-best in the league as the season nears its midpoint. She also swam the anchor leg of the Vandals' winning 400 medley relay.
"Rachel would probably be the first one to tell you it's more of a team award than an individual award," coach Mark Sowa said. "Even though it's recognizing her, it's recognizing the program is taking some significant steps forward."
Sowa also credited Millet's tireless work ethic and competitive nature.
"She's learned how to race at the collegiate level," Sowa said. "She's comfortable. She enjoys racing."

I tangoed my way back to Yipit, where I bought a "skintightening" treatment at Bio-SkinErgy Laser Center (value: $350; deal: $99). The receptionist-technician (first she answers phones, and then she heats up the laser) informed me I'd need four to six treatments, and they were conveniently on sale for $200 each. Midtreatment, she told me if I signed up today, they'd cost $100 each. It's difficult to feel pampered while somebody with a hot object in her hand is wheeling and dealing.
If you decide to check out the Groupons of the world, I suggest you set up an alter-native e-mail address so your inbox won't be clogged with offers. Also good to know: Some deals require a minimum number of participants. And you're expected to tip on the full value of the service. But after all that coupon-enabled dancing, drinking and spa-ing, my personal pamper meter is way up, and I saved more than $500. I could have saved more, but I'm still not opting for that colonic.

Camo, pleather? Why why why can't we get a REAL magazine for stylish mature women.
Real housewives 90210 need not apply.
If you would hire a fashion editor 45+ your sales would go thru the roof. Someone chic, smart and savvy when it comes to mature sensibilities.
What about the leggings that don't cost $176? They are out there...maybe for the masses show where those are. I have seen really cute ones super similar to what was featured for a fraction of the cost. I don't know about anyone else but $176 for leggings is ridiculous. Just a thought..:)


text: Jun 19, 2013 16:13 'Oz' prequel casts its spell in New Orleans 'Oz' prequel casts its spell in New Orleans Photo by Joan Marcus -- In the Broadway in New Orleans production of 'Wicked,' Clifton Davis is Dr. Dillamond, a history professor in the school attended by the show's two leads. Photo provided by Broadway in New OrleansWicked continues its run at the Mahalia Jackson Theater in New Orleans this weekend. The Wicked Wtich of the West is played by Alison Luff. For more information, go to broadwayinneworleans.com. WICKED GOOD Dean M. Shapiro| Special to The Advocate Comments The upcoming musical production of "Wicked," the final offering of the 2012-13 Broadway in New Orleans series, is an attempt to soften the centuries-old image of witches, even if the title might imply otherwise. "The show is really about misunderstanding and discrimination, and how good deeds can be misunderstood and abused, and how good people can go bad," said Clifton Davis, who performs in the production in the role of Dr. Dillamond, the popular history professor in the school attended by the show's two leads. "Wicked" opens Wednesday at the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts and runs through June 2. Show times vary. In a nutshell, this multi-award-winning extravaganza predates the unscheduled arrival of Dorothy in a wind-blown Kansas farmhouse. It takes the audience back to the roots of "The Merry Old Land of Oz" rivalry between Glinda, the blonde, glamorous Good Witch of the North (Jenn Gambatese) and Elphaba (Alison Luff), the homely, green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West. Although his is not a leading character, Davis' describes Dillamond as being "key to the plot. ... in that (Elphaba) becomes an animal activist. By listening to Dr. Dillamond she unearths some sort of plot to suppress the animals of Oz." Dillamond's only song in the production ("Something Bad") is a duet in which he confides to Elphaba that something is causing the animals of Oz to lose their powers of speech. She replies that the Wizard (John Davidson) may the only one who can help. As the action progresses, we learn the origins of the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and the flying monkeys, as well as the significance of the ruby slippers. By the time of Dorothy's arrival, the story elements are in place for us to pick up the familiar tale. There are about 20 songs in this two-act show, including more than half-a-dozen chorus numbers. Davis sings with the chorus on several of those numbers at the beginning and end of the production. A veteran actor, singer and composer, Davis brings a long and widely varied background to this production. His first appearance on Broadway came in 1967 as a member of the chorus in "Hello Dolly" starring Pearl Bailey. Half-a-dozen other Broadway shows followed, plus numerous off-Broadway and regional theater productions. Success came to Davis in another form when, as a self-taught composer and songwriter for Motown in the early 1970s, he wrote three songs that were recorded by Michael Jackson and The Jackson Five. His Grammy-nominated composition "Never Can Say Goodbye" also became a huge disco hit for Gloria Gaynor and several other artists. Branching into TV, Davis starred in "That's My Mama" with Theresa Merritt and "Amen" with Sherman Hemsley, which lasted for five seasons on NBC. An ordained Seventh-Day Adventist minister, Davis recently put out his first CD, "Strength for the Journey," a 12-song gospel collection. Summing up his experiences with the traveling production of "Wicked," Davis said, "I'm having the time of my life, because I believe this show is one of the best Broadway shows I have ever seen, and certainly one of the finest productions I've ever performed in. It's a great evening of theater." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Remember that captivating film released a while back called The Social Network? You know, the one about Facebook. The one where Justin Timberlake (our boy is on a roll here with the last post) played a rather debonaire Shawn Fanning, the founder of Napster. After witnessing the alarming charisma of this Shawn Fanning character, weren't you like, "Damn. I wish they could make a movie like this about Napster, too." Well! Your wish has been answered. Sorta.
While not a reality based film with professional actors, this upcoming Napster documentary entitled Downloaded appears just as enticing with real world accounts from Shawn Fanning himself, musicians, and other industry insiders. Music lovers will get to see just exactly how this platform revolutionized music and placed a lasting mark on society and politics forever.
Look for it to drop on VH1 (hopefully) soon. Air date is still TBA.
High fives to the lovely folks at Okayplayer for sharing.

There's No Place Like Space! all about our Solar System
Rabe, Tish (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library)
An entertaining book to use with children (4-8) that introduces the basic concepts of space and the solar system. A librarian or teacher can easily stop reading at any point to explore a topic in more detai with the children. I found that children do not mind stopping on a planet in order to learn more with hands-on activities.
Note: The book was published in 1999 when Pluto was still considered a planet. However, the section on Pluto is a good opening topic for space exploration and how scientists learn more about the planets and our solar system each day.
Re: Wanted: Good Reads
I love the idea of stopping at each planet to do an activity! (For the younger children, I'd recommend our Family Space Days activities -- listed along the left side of http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/space_days/ -- which were written specifically for 5-8-year-olds.)
I also love introducing the children to the idea that our scientific understanding is always changing with your discussion about Pluto!
Re: Wanted: Good Reads
We recently asked workshop participants to list books that they (librarians) would suggest for Mars literacy connections. Attached, you will find a file containing their suggestions. The title, author, age recommendation, and description for each book is listed, organized alphabetically by title under each heading. We hope that you will find this helpful.
Thank you to all of the librarians who contributed to this list, and a special thank you to Brooke Carson for bringing it all together for all of us to enjoy!
Happy Reading!

Wilson Tennis Shoes
Wilson tennis shoes are backed by years of expertise and dedication to excellence. Since 1911, Wilson has been an industry leader in the development of sporting goods. They have expanded their reach to many different sports and supply their products around the globe. You can be assured that when you purchase a Wilson tennis shoe that its design comes from years of experience that most companies cannot match, let alone exceed.
Wilson Tennis Shoe Technologies
Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is a material that has many properties that make it a good material to build shoes out of. It is resistant to abrasion, which is why it is often used in toe guards. Since it has unusually high shear strength, it won't tear as easily as other materials when put to the test.
On a microscopic level, NanoWik fibers are different from regular fabrics in their ability to move perspiration away from a given area. This helps keep your feet dry and comfortable, something very important in a long match.
Reactive Gel is a cushioning material that lasts longer because of its ability to retain its shape after compression.
Ortholite is a lightweight foam that allows your foot to fit snugly in your shoe, greatly reducing abrasion of your foot inside the shoe for better comfort.
DST is a lightweight cushioning substance found often in the midsole of many Wilson tennis shoes and as a material used in insole boards.
Wilson Tour Ikon
The Wilson Tour Ikon has a low profile and is designed for play on all court surfaces, including clay. It is available in men's and women's sizes and incorporates many of Wilson tennis shoe technologies. It also has a Duralast outsole that is guaranteed for six months with a pivot point and TPU toe guard that extend the shoe's life.
Wilson Tour Vision II
The Wilson Tour Vision II series, as its name suggests, is a continuation of the popular Tour Vision series, and is available in men's and women's sizes. You can wear this shoe while playing on any court surface as the herringbone outsole provides great traction and is made of Duralast material, guaranteed to last six months.
Wilson Tour Construkt
The Wilson Tour Construkt series is another option for players who want a shoe that they can play on a variety of surfaces, and that has the latest in Wilson tennis shoe technology. This model is available for both men and women.
Tour Spin II
The Wilson Tour Spin II represents the ultimate speed shoe in the Wilson tennis shoe line. The Tour Spin II is ideal for a player looking for a durable yet lightweight shoe. Available in men's and women's models, this Wilson tennis shoe line features a lightweight, foot-conforming Ballistic mesh upper and is available in width D (Medium).

A 33-year-old Harrington woman is charged with assault and child endangerment after allegedly using a fly swatter to discipline a child.
Erica L. Vogel was arrested Friday after the Delaware Division of Family Services contacted police in reference to an instance of child abuse that occurred in the 100 block of Mechanic Street on Jan. 25, Harrington Police Department spokesman Earl Brode said.
Police determined Vockel had used a fly swatter and her hand to spank a 10-year-old child on the buttocks, leaving multiple bruises.
After turning herself in to police, Vockel was arraigned and released on a $2,000 unsecured bond, Brode said.

First, I wanted to manually wrote I2C functions with SensorPort.SetSensorPin and Delay.usDelay functions, but then I realized that that delay functions are not accurate and that everything is too slow for proper communication.
I wanted to create following functions:
- I2Cinit(port, SCL_pin, SDA_pin); //Define SCL (PA23/PA28/PA29/PA30) and SDA (PA2/PA18/PA20/pin6) as output and set them to high level (1)
- I2Cstart(port); //pull SDA line to low level (0)
- bool I2Csendbyte(port, ubyte); //shift out one byte and return boolean variable if ACK/NACK was received
- ubyte I2Creceivebyte(port, ack_nack); //receive one byte and return ACK (0) or NACK (1)
- I2Cstop(port); //release SCL line to high-level (1) and then SDA
I don't think this is possible directly in Java (I'm low-level programmer, used programming in AVR C and Assembler), so I'm asking if is there any possibility to add this features to firmware or if anyone have already done SMBus communication in leJOS, please share the code with me.
I should mention that SMBus communication is working properly on AVRs with hardware (TWI) and software I2C.
Thank you for you help

Dozens of kindergartners from Clayton Elementary School spent Thursday morning learning about agriculture at Middletown High School's third-annual Ag Day.
The youngsters visited ten learning stations manned by members of Middletown High's Future Farmers of America club, who led the children in games, activities and hands-on lessons in animal husbandry, crops, biomes, aquaculture, animal by-products and other agriculture-related subjects.
The kindergarteners also got to visit with pigs, sheep, goats and rabbits at an outdoor petting zoo.
Cheryl Vest, an agri-science teacher and FFA advisor at the high school, said about 50 students helped to set up, organize and present the lessons at Ag Day.
A similar program also held for Green Acres Preschool and Childcare in Odessa on Wednesday.

Big Picture: The state of automation
Conveyor and sortation systems are using software and controls to manage the flow of goods while distributing work in a way that eliminates bottlenecks.
Knapp USA: Look for more shuttles
"We have a saying at Knapp," says Josef Mentzer, COO for Knapp USA. "OSR is the answer. What is the question?"
At Knapp, OSR stands for Order Storage and Retrieval. That is the company's moniker for systems that use mobile shuttles instead of mini-load cranes for the high-density storage of cartons, totes and individual products weighing about 100 pounds or less.
As more and more end users focus on smaller deliveries and each picking, Mentzer believes the market for shuttles is poised for exponential growth. "We developed shuttle technology to optimize the storage and picking of slow moving items," he says. "Today, we have 1,400 each picking solutions in operation, using thousands of shuttles. Those shuttles are being used across industries, and they're being adapted to buffering, shipping sortation and work-in-process. It's not just picking any longer."
In addition to efficient processes, Mentzer says shuttles are sustainable, requiring about 5% of the electricity required to operate a mini-load AS/RS and only about 20% of the electricity required for a carousel system.
They are also capable of more cycles per hour in a smaller space than a mini-load. "A mini-load can typically do 100 to 150 double cycles per hour per aisle," Mentzer says. "With a shuttle, I can do more than 700 cycles per hour per aisle. Basically, it takes four to five aisles of a mini-load to pull out the same number of items per hour as a shuttle."
What's next? Knapp is developing a vision-guided picking system as an alternative to RF- or voice-directed picking in conventional areas in the warehouse. "This is still an emerging solution," says Mentzer. "But we believe it could change what we do in the warehouse and how we do it."

The M.O.T. area is preparing for Hurricane Sandy, the "Frankenstorm" forecasted to pound the entire state beginning Sunday.
A local State of Emergency has been declared for New Castle County beginning 9 a.m. Sunday and a limited State of Emergency was signed by Gov. Jack Markell Saturday for the entire state.
All schools in the Appoquinimink and Smyrna school districts will be closed Monday and Tuesday and Middletown High School will be opened as a shelter beginning Sunday afternoon.
Once winds sustain 50 MPH speeds, bridges across the state may be closed down, said DelDOT spokesman Jim Westhoff.
Sandy is expected to hit the Delaware bay area with hurricane force winds that could exceed 75 miles per hour.
Wind indicators have been placed on the bridges and once winds sustain 50 MPH, DelDOT will make the decision whether or not to close them down, Westhoff said. These bridges include the Summit and St. Georges Bridge.
Delaware State Police are encouraging motorists to refrain from driving during the hurricane due to the potential of high winds, heavy rain, limited visibility and flooding, said Sgt. Paul G. Shavack.
Rain is expected to begin Sunday and continue through Wednesday.
Residents who live near the water, including those in Port Penn and Delaware City, will be required to evacuate their homes by Sunday evening.
Mandatory evacuations have been issued for all homes in the east end of Second Street in Delaware City, the 100 block of Fifth Street in Delaware City, The Delaware City Mobile Home Park, all of Polktown, the town of Port Penn, Augustine Beach, Bayview Beach, and any residence south of Augustine Beach and east of Silver Run Road.
"I strongly encourage all those who live in coastal communities or other flood-prone areas to heed the governor's call," said County Executive Paul Clark.
The town of Townsend sent an e-mail to its residents Saturday urging them to take precautions to preserve hard to replace items and to take caution and value personal safety over possessions .
Middletown Police Chief Henry Tobin said that officers will work with DEMA and the Middletown Volunteer Hose Company if evacuations have to take place in town.
Residents are urged to take down any Halloween decorations, flags, or other items that could blow away and cause damage, Townsend mayor and council also said.
Patio furniture should also be taken inside.
All County parks, libraries, and activity centers will close at 3 p.m. Sunday.
Residents with non-emergency issues related to the storm can call the Delaware Helpline at (800) 464-4357.

Suspicion of meth lab leads to Elkhart woman's arrest
ELKHART — Police arrested an Elkhart woman after neighbors called on suspicion of a possible meth lab in the area.
Cameron Minnick, 35, was arrested Tuesday, July 16, on a preliminary charge of conspiracy to manufacture meth, a Class B felony, according to the probable cause affidavit filed for her arrest.
The fire department was called Monday at about 11 p.m. to 616 S. Eighth St. The fire department called the police department to investigate a house where a fire was suspected to have been caused by a meth lab.
Earlier that day police received a call from a neighbor suspecting that someone was manufacturing meth in the 600 block of South Eighth Street.
Upon arriving at the scene, police found a Gatorade bottle and a few Coleman Fuel bottles, which were collected to be tested.
After testing the bottles, police learned that the Gatorade bottle was used as a vessel to manufacture meth. One of the fuel bottles was found to contain meth.
The next day Minnick was pulled over and arrested on a warrant for driving while suspended.
At the police station, Minnick told police she was addicted to meth and that she has manufactured meth several times.
Minnick said she took a bag that had two bottles of fuel and a bottle with meth out of her residence at 610 S. Eighth St. when she was told the police were on their way. She said she left the vessel outside 616 S. Eighth St. While leaving the scene she also dropped the bag with the two bottles of fuel and her cellphone.
Minnick also admitted she left several items used for manufacturing meth at 610 S. Eighth St., including liquid fire, aquatic tubing, salt, cold packs and Sudafed.
Minnick was booked Wednesday, July 17, into the Elkhart County Jail on a $75,000 bond. A hearing has been scheduled at the Elkhart Circuit Court for Thursday, July 25.

I'm really looking forward to this Saturday, from 6 – 9 p.m. RumFest 2009 is taking place at Wall Street Plaza.
The way it works is you pay $20 at the gate and get to sample a flavored rum drink at each of the twelve tents set up at the festival – as many times as you want. That's unlimited rum for $20 and this year they have some new rums they're introducing to the festival that include 7 Tiki, Havana Club, and Bacardi Dragon Berry. If you order tickets to the event by midnight tonight at http://www.wallstplaza.net/store you can save an additional 20 percent off the ticket price which comes to about $16 plus tax. I'll be live-Tweeting from the festival (that's a Twitter reference for all of you newbies). You can follow me @kelly_fitz.
Here are photos from last year's festival.

With a whopping eleven pockets, this poly/cotton poplin blend travel vest might just eliminate the need for a daypack. It blocks 98 percent of UVA/UVB rays and is treated with a stain-resistant, moisture-wicking finish, making it especially perfect for hot weather travel. An anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-microbial treatment keeps the vest fresh through long travel days, and even if the vest gets stashed at the bottom of a laundry bag for the rest of the trip. It's quick drying though, so go ahead, wash it in the evening and hang it upit'll be dry by morning.
Includes two Velcro-sealed bellows pockets on the chest, two zippered closure pockets on the front, and two bellows pockets on the front bottom. Inside are two hand-warmer pockets, one large inside pocket, one medium-sized inside pocket, and a small cellphone pocket. The D-ring on the left chest is an ideal place to hang a pair of sunglasses, or to clip keys or a tube of sunscreen. Adjustable tabs at the waist let you cinch the sides so you won't wrestle with the fit no matter how much you've loaded the pockets. Made in Canada by Tilley, a company that's legendary for its "persnicketyness in detail, fabrication, and quality."
Made in Canada. 65% poly/35% cotton poplin. Men's sizes M (38-40), L (42-44), XL (46-48).
Machine wash; hang to dry.

I examined and enlarged the photo, but couldn't figure out what it was. I bet we summoned something. My boyfriend (the skeptic) suggests there was probably a logical explanation, such as a beer can in a cup holder behind the flame -I'm pretty skeptical about that.
It's funny to think I would be scared of a stupid photo. I grew up with coffins, a hearse, tombstones and blood splattered costumes in my garage and scattered all over the house. I'm a lot like Claire from Six Feet Under - odd, eccentric, misunderstood - minus the real dead bodies in the basement. I say real, because we had fake ones.
Is it normal to clean out your closet and find a severed head behind your soccer jersey or wake up to one being dangled in your face?
That's been my life since I was born. I would be under-exaggerating if I said my family "love's" Halloween. We plan our Halloween haunted house yard set-up 365 days a year. Currently the living room houses wire angels -we got them at Christmas - in robes with icicles spray painted and made to look like angels of death.
So, I guess a face in a campfire shouldn't freak me out this bad.
My question to the reader: Do you see the face, too? Does it scare the crap out of you? Am I just totally nuts? Do you have scary face photos? - give us a link
