ZF-12173: Zend_Form and Zend_Form_Element prefix paths are not prefix agnostic (namespaces)
I've migrated my personal library to namespaces and I've detected that the namespaced prefix paths are not properly handled by the plugin loader because both Zend_Form and Zend_Form_Element add "_$type" as suffix to the plugin path when they should detect if the namespace separator is _ or \
I've submitted two diff files, one for tests and one for the fix itself. Note that this issue depends on ZF-11330, so the fix for ZF-11330 should be applied in order to make this one work.
Hi Antonio, your patch does not include:
- {{Zend_Form_Element_Captcha::addPrefixPath()}}
- {{Zend_Form_Element_File::addPrefixPath()}}
I've fixed the Zend_Form_Element_File and Zend_Form_Element_Captcha addPrefixPath methods too.
Fixed in SVN r24848.

text: Dec 11, 2012 00:27 Seven arrested in identity theft scam Seven arrested in identity theft scam Photo provided by Louisiana State Police -- Louisiana State Police recovered these counterfeit checks, fake IDs and other materials following the arrest of seven Baton Rouge residents accused in a counterfeit check and identity theft scam involving an LSU Health Care Services Division employee. Billy Ray Taylor Tammy Matthews Lisa Haynes Pamela Reams Lisa Anderson Meshaune Wilson Valencia Paul by robert stewart| Advocate staff writer Comments Sheila Seal was checking on her bank account in Bogalusa in August when a bank employee told her about checks worth a combined $2,500 that Seal didn't recall writing. "I said, 'Hold it just a minute. Who are those checks to?' " Seal said. "She said, 'Oh my goodness, Mrs. Sheila, you didn't write these.' " Seal, the wife of Washington Parish Sheriff Randy Seal, realized she had been a victim of identity theft. She would later discover she was caught in a counterfeit check and identity theft scheme that had been spreading across Louisiana and in nearby states since at least June, when the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office first began investigating numerous identity theft claims in that parish. State Police said Tuesday that local authorities have arrested seven Baton Rouge residents in the case but are still assessing how many people — at least 400 in Louisiana so far — have been affected. The common denominator among most victims, according to State Police, was that had all written checks payable to the LSU Health Care Services Division sometime before being victimized. Investigators later determined that an LSU Health Care Services Division billing department employee had been printing images of checks stored in the hospital system's financial database and turning them into counterfeit checks. Capt. Tommie Sorrell, head of criminal investigations in the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office, said Tuesday that she and her investigators contacted local businesses that seemed to be hot spots for fake check use. Surveillance footage from the businesses repeatedly showed four women — Meshaune Wilson, Lisa Haynes, Valencia Paul, and Pamela Reams — using counterfeit checks, Sorrell said. State Police detectives and Iberville Parish sheriff's detectives arrested Wilson, Haynes and Paul in Iberville Parish on Nov. 8 after they were seen using counterfeit checks at Wal-Marts in Plaquemine and Donaldsonville, Trooper First Class Jared Sandifer said. Detectives also found counterfeit checks, stolen bank account numbers, and counterfeit IDs with the women's photos on them, Sandifer said. Detectives learned that Wilson and Paul bought the counterfeit checks and ID cards from Tammy Matthews, who was paying Reams to make them, Sandifer said. Detectives from State Police, the Washington Parish Sheriff's Office and the United States Secret Service searched Reams' and Matthews' homes Nov. 20 and found copies of scanned checks from the LSU Health Care Services Division database and several fake Louisiana ID Cards, Sandifer said. Detectives also seized computers, handwritten Social Security Numbers and other items used to print checks and ID cards, Sandifer said. Reams admitted she used the LSU hospital databases to obtain account information, and that Matthews paid her to produce counterfeit checks and IDs, Sandifer said. Reams has been fired by the LSU Health Care Services Division, agency spokesman Marvin McGraw said. The LSU Health Care Services Division said in a prepared statement that it is cooperating with law enforcement authorities and has launched an internal investigation into the incident. Detectives have already identified nearly 400 possible victims in Louisiana affected by the scam, Sandifer said. People in at least 12 other states were also victimized, he said. The checks were being made only in Baton Rouge but were spent all over Louisiana, including in Shreveport, Lafayette and Hammond, Sorrell said. The checks were also cashed out of state, in such places as McComb, Miss., and Destin, Fla. "They went any place they could basically jump on the interstate and get to within four or five hours," Sorrell said. Sorrell said that when all is said and done, investigators will likely find $100,000 worth of fraudulent checks cashed. "It seems like every time I would have a person totally identified, two others would pop up," Sorrell said. "I know that we have quite a bit of people that we have in custody affiliated with this particular case, but there's probably still 10 more, if not more, that's out there." Sheila Seal, who has worked at the LSU Bogalusa Medical Center the past 34 years, said her bank reimbursed her the $2,500 she lost. But she had to close the fraud-wrecked account. "I couldn't even write a check in town on my new account," Seal said. "I had trouble writing checks for several months because of the identity theft." Reams, 47, was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on Nov. 20 on 377 counts of identity theft and possession of fraudulent documents for identification purposes. She was also a fugitive in St. Tammany Parish for conspiracy to commit monetary abuse and bank fraud. Wilson, 34; Haynes, 44; Paul, 37; and Matthews, 47, have already been booked into parish jails in East Baton Rouge, Washington, Iberville, Ascension and St. Tammany parishes on various counts of identity theft, monetary abuse and possession of fraudulent documents for identification purposes. Authorities are looking for Paul so she can be booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on further counts of conspiracy to commit identity theft and conspiracy to commit monetary abuse, Sandifer said. Lisa Anderson, who is Reams' sister, was already in custody in Washington Parish on counts of identity theft, Sandifer said. She has also been booked in East Baton Rouge Parish on counts of identity theft, monetary instrument abuse and theft over $500. Anderson, 46, and her husband, Billy Ray Taylor, were both seen on surveillance videos using the counterfeit checks at numerous East Baton Rouge Parish stores, Sandifer said. Taylor, 42, of Baton Rouge, is accused of identity theft, monetary instrument abuse and theft over $500 in East Baton Rouge Parish. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

AKRON, Ohio - Oregon's first match away from Eugene this season turned into a thriller against East Tennessee State in Akron, Ohio, on Saturday afternoon.
But the resilient Ducks rose to the occasion.
With the match all squared at three, Oregon's fate and unblemished record was left to junior Lana Buttner in the No. 5 singles match.
Buttner took the first set from Buccaneer sophomore Jessica Brumit, 6-1, but Brumit was able to claw her way back in the match by taking the second set from Buttner, 6-3. In the decisive third set, the Oregon junior held off Brumit, 6-4, to give her team a heart-stopping win and its eighth victory in as many tries to start the season.
"I have to give a lot of credit to Lana," Oregon head coach Paul Reber said. "She played her heart out and came through for us to clinch the win."
The Ducks (8-0) are out to their best start since beginning 9-0 to start the 2004 spring. East Tennessee State fell to 2-2 with the loss. The Buccaneers lost both games in Akron this weekend, falling 4-3 as well to the host Zips on Friday.
In the earlier matches, Oregon nabbed the doubles point by taking two out of three from East Tennessee State. Senior Patricia Skowronski and sophomore Nicole Long won their team-leading seventh dual doubles match in the No. 1 slot by topping the Bucs' Antonia Kolovou and Giulia Andreazza, 8-4. The Oregon duo is now 8-2 overall.
In the No.2 doubles match, senior Julia Metzger and sophomore Sofia Hager beat Lyn Yee Choo and Anna Gerbasi, 8-5, for their first doubles win as a team in the dual season. Buttner and Lena Macomson fell, 8-4, in the No. 3 match to East Tennessee State's Salma Dahbi and Sofia Espana.
In singles play, Skowronski lost for the first time this season, 2-6, 7-6 (8-6) to Kolovou in the No. 1 match but Long won her conference-leading 12th straight singles match by handling Andreazza, 6-0, 6-2, in the No. 2 position. Including her tournament matches, Long is now 15-2 overall.
Metzger improved to 6-1 in dual play with a comfortable 6-3, 6-2 win in the No. 3 match. Hager and Macomson fell in their No. 4 and No. 6 singles matches, respectively. Metzger's victory marked the Ducks' third point of the afternoon and it helped set the stage for Buttner with the match tied, 3-3. She has won four straight singles matches which ranks second on the team behind only Long.
"We didn't play our best tennis today," Reber said. "But I was happy that we came away with a win. That's the important thing. We have to make sure we are ready to play tomorrow."
Oregon hits the court again tomorrow morning against the University of Akron. Match time is slated for 9:30 a.m. (PT). The match can be followed live on twitter via Akron's official women's tennis feed, @ZipsWTEN.

Changing with the Times
My ex-sister-in-law Laurie pictured herself as a 21st-century Snow White — raven hair, pale skin, red lips. A color professional had advised her to wear cool winter shades with a bluish base (rather than a warm, yellow base), and she loved the look. When her hair started graying, she darkened it — until she saw a picture taken at her son's college graduation. "I was shocked at how harsh my hair looked," she told me. "I immediately went to my hairdresser and asked for blond highlights — bold ones. Now I'm not sure what colors I should wear. Do I need different clothes and makeup?"
My friend Karen had a hysterectomy that sent her into early menopause. Her skin became dry and, she thought, lost its glow. "I felt I was aging rapidly, and it made me sad," she says. "I started wearing more black, as if I were in mourning. But I'm feeling better about myself now that I've let go of the image I had of the younger me." Karen's husband encouraged her to go gray, and she now considers her hair her most distinctive feature. So she too has to rethink her colors. At some point, we all do.
As we age, our hair may fade or thin or go gray, or we may change the color ourselves. Colors that once flattered our skin tones start to look severe or just wrong. How do we find shades that will look good on us now?
Try on a New Hue
I think a color has to pass two tests: It has to give your face a healthy glow, and it has to make you smile. The only way to find these magic shades is to experiment — to try on colors you've never worn before, including those you thought you weren't "supposed" to wear.
Sometimes it's a matter of fine-tuning the shades that used to flatter you. Now that Laurie has blond highlights, she might find that warmer reds — Tuscan brick or deep-orange poppy — work better on her than blue-based ones. Karen might find that lilac, pale pink, or plum will complement her gray hair.
Many women I know who wore dark colors now favor beige, but finding the right shade can be tricky. A woman I shop with who has fair hair and pale, slightly ruddy skin couldn't understand why she wasn't rushing to wear her beautiful new designer suit. I showed her how that particular beige had a warm, yellow cast that drained her face, while a bone-colored beige gave her complexion a vibrant glow. She got it immediately; we really do know the right shades when we try them on.
What about the clothes we already own that no longer look good on us? Try mixing in other colors and textures to act as a buffer. The easiest fix is wearing creamy or crisp white tops, which light up the face. If you're drawn to a color that doesn't flatter you but makes you smile, wear it as an accent. Each season I look forward to seeing which unexpected color my friend Becky will adopt for her signature mules and the sweaters she wraps around her shoulders to jazz up her black and white basics.
Jacqui, a MORE reader, wrote to me that after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she saw a T-shirt that read "Pink is not just a color, it's an attitude." This has inspired her to wear pink every day — she's even had her Harley-Davidson painted pink. Clearly, pink brings life to her face, and light to her heart.
What to wear when you love red, but red no longer loves you
We're not talking traffic-cone orange, but tangerine, brick, coral, or apricot — shades that have the attention-getting impact of red plus the flattering warmth of gold. Here, a pumpkin-hued suit by Max Mara (jacket, $590; skirt, $340) gets toned down with neutral accessories. S'Max Mara cashmere T-shirt ($300). BCBG Max Azria watch ($125). Kate Spade eel-skin clutch ($695). DKNY suede pumps ($159).
What to wear for the lift you used to get from white or yellow
Nude tones work the way the right foundation does, enveloping you in a creamy palette of color. When you're mixing shades of beige, keep the undertone consistent. Choose either cool tints, such as clay, putty, and taupe, or the warm ones shown here: Ellen Tracy caramel leather blazer ($798) and sandstone wool skirt ($298). Liz Claiborne flax-hued turtleneck ($49). Constanca Basto buff suede boots ($495).

Art-full Affair
THE PARTY A buoyant mix of Hollywood stars and art-scene aficionados, including Jonah Hill, Molly Shannon, Lisa Edelstein, Alex Israel and Andrea Bowers, gathered to support LAXART, a cutting-edge nonprofit art space on La Cienega. THE SCENE The glamorous garden party (the gallery's fourth annual celebration) flourished at the Brentwood home of contemporary art collectors Gail and Stanley Hollander. Luxury resale retailer The RealReal turned out to collect an array of guest-donated couture garments to be sold on behalf of the affair's beneficiary, while partygoers playfully engaged in a game of tug-of-war with a rope sculpture by artist Shana Lutker and bid on silent auction items—all to the tunes of DJ Eamon Ore-Giron. Funds from the alfresco afternoon will help produce exhibitions and support commissions from local artists. THE HIGHLIGHTS On the auction block were artist-adorned skateboards from the likes of Kelly Barrie, Sherin Guirguis and Greg Lynn. The most buzzed-about board on offer—valued at a whopping $60,000—was a chrysoprase-, labradorite- and turquoise-encrusted design by Irene Neuwirth that went to an anonymous bidder. Here's to riding in style. Photography by Stefanie Keenan/WireImage

General Discussion
Arachnoiditis is a disease characterized by an acute inflammatory stage that occurs in the dura (exterior) and the arachnoid (interior), two of the three membranes that cover and protect the brain, the spinal cord and the nerve roots. The arachnoid contains the cerebrospinal fluid which circulates from the brain to the sacral area, about every two hours; it filters any invasion and usually responds first by inflammation and follows with a chronic stage life-lasting phase characterized by scarring and fibrosis. As a result, abnormal adhesion of nerve roots to the dural sac or to each other (clumping) occurs in a variety of configurations that alter significantly the function of the roots and the spinal cord. This causes a variety of neurological deficits and severe chronic neuropathic pain usually located in the area affected. In the pre-antibiotic era, severe cases of tuberculosis or syphilis invaded the spine causing arachnoiditis; currently these infections are rare, but it is important to mention that arachnoiditis will result in most patients affected by fungal meningitis from attempted epidural injections of tainted steroids.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Sherry Disappointed! I am usually happy with all my coffee purchases, but the two holiday coffees I got in the store were very disappointing. I was excited when I saw the Chocolate Peppermint, went right home and prepared it the next morning, it had little if no flavor. You be the judge but I have had much better. As a coffee it was alright, just no peppermint or chocolate taste, it didn't even have a strong aroma. November 28, 2011

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Winter/Spring 2008 issue.
While it's native to tropical Africa and an essential ingredient in several Asian cuisines, not to mention Worcestershire sauce, we like to think of tamarind as our very own. Widely popular in Mexico, tamarind grows wild in tall trees that produce 3- to 8-inch-long, brown, pea-like pods containing a soft acidic pulp and many seeds. When fully ripe, the shell becomes brittle and easily broken.
While the fruit can be eaten fresh, it is most commonly fashioned into a drink, agua de tamarindo, a mixture of water, sugar and pulp. But perhaps it's most intriguing, at least here in Mexico, as a key ingredient in many spicy golosinas, or sweets, popular with children and adults. Take a chance on tamarind-based candies next time you find yourself at the checkout lane of your favorite supermarket. The notion of spicy candy may seem contradictory, but you will experience a genuinely Mexican tradition!

Senior Bryelle Smith posted a team-best six assists Thursday in her final appearance at Minges Coliseum.
March 1, 2012
East Carolina 70, Southern Miss 57 | Postgame Interviews
GREENVILLE, N.C. - In a matchup of teams that combined to win 10 of their last 12 Thursday, East Carolina turned in a dominant effort in downing Southern Miss 70-57 at Minges Coliseum. The Pirates have now taken five of their last six to improve to 11-18 overall and end Conference USA play at 5-11. Meanwhile, the Golden Eagles fell to 12-17 and 6-10.
East Carolina ended the year 9-5 at home, matching last season's ledger, and has now captured 42 of its last 56 at Minges Coliseum. Additionally, the Pirates have won 11 of the last 16 in league play and kept Southern Miss winless in Greenville since 2007.
Seniors Bryelle Smith and Chareya Smith played their final contest at home and were big factors in helping ECU emerge victorious. Bryelle posted six assists against just two turnovers while Chareya ended the evening with 15 points, her seventh-straight double-figure scoring effort, and seven rebounds.
Britny Edwards filled up the stat sheet to the tune of 17 points, seven rebounds, four blocks and three assists while moving into sole possession of 10th place on the East Carolina single-season blocked shots chart. She now has 43 this season. Sophomore Kristine Mial also chipped in with 11 points, four assists, three (3) three-point field goals and two steals.
The Pirates used a 50-percent performance from the field in the first half, hitting 17 of its 34 attempts, to end up at 41 percent for the contest and held the Golden Eagles to a 36-percent showing. ECU also out-rebounded the visitors 47-42 and received a 32-point outburst from its bench players - including the 17 by Edwards. Both squads turned the ball over 18 times and East Carolina was able to net 22 points off the Southern Miss miscues. Additionally, the 43 points scored in the first half by the Pirates represent the most in a half in C-USA action this season.
The Golden Eagles raced out to an 8-2 advantage thanks to six points by Jamierra Faulkner and would hold a 12-6 lead at the 13:17 mark, however, ECU responded in a big way with an 18-4 run which was capped by an Edwards jumper to make the score 24-16 with 7:39 remaining in the half.
East Carolina began to heat up from beyond the arc, hitting two shots from range over the next two minutes to stretch its cushion to double digits at 33-19. The advantage grew to as much as 17 when Chareya Smith drained a free throw with 1:55 remaining and she would add the period's exclamation mark, converting a layup with just seconds left on the clock to leave the home side's margin at 43-24 heading into the break.
C. Smith paced the Pirates with 13 points in the first 20 minutes while Mial added 11. Smith and Tatiana Chapple also pulled down a team-best four rebounds apiece. ECU took great care of the basketball, committing just six turnovers while forcing Southern Miss into 11 miscues.
The Golden Eagles sliced into their deficit to begin the second stanza, scoring the first three points to pull within 43-29. However, Janesha Ebron answered with a jumper from the baseline and added a triple to push the cushion back to 19. Chapple then hit a free throw at the 15:57 mark to afford the Pirates their first 20-point lead of the evening.
The advantage hovered around 17-19 points until Tanecka Carey dropped in a three to make the score 56-41 with 8:44 showing on the clock, but Edwards stopped the run with a jumper in the paint. A Chapple layup gave East Carolina its largest lead of the night at 22 points (70-48) at the 3:12 mark and the Pirates cruised to the double-digit victory.
With the regular season now complete, ECU will wait its opponent for the first round of the 2012 Conference USA Women's Basketball Championship. The full bracket is scheduled for release Saturday evening. The Pirates will be the event's No. 11 seed and matchup with the sixth-seeded squad Wednesday, March 7, at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse of the campus of the University of Memphis.

Senior Garrett Cannizaro hit first career grand slam against UTSA in Tulane's 8-3 win on Sunday.
March 17, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - Early offense was the name of the game for the Green Wave on Sunday as they put up five runs in the bottom of the first - including a grand slam by senior Garrett Cannizaro - that helped Tulane defeat Texas-San Antonio, 8-3, at Greer Field at Turchin Stadium.
Tulane (12-10) had already struck before Cannizaro's first career grand slam, as UTSA (13-7) starter Nolan Trabanino struggled to make an out before giving up the blast. Senior Brennan Middleton doubled to left field on the first pitch of the game, and fellow senior Blake Crohan walked to put two runners on. Senior Brandon Boudreaux reached on an error by UTSA's Horacio Correa III when he laid down a bunt to load the bases. Senior Sean Potkay walked for the 17th time this season to bring Middleton home from third before Cannizaro brought everyone home on his blast to left field.
"That hasn't happened for us much this year," said Tulane baseball head coach Rick Jones. "Teams were fielding .983 against us, nobody was making any errors, so when the third baseman didn't pick up the bunt, that was a great force for us. Garrett put a good swing on the ball, and it was hard to hit the ball out of here today."
Cannizaro finished the week going 7-for-13 at the plate with five walks.
"It's good to get some early offense, no matter how we got it," said Cannizaro. "It was just good to get out front. Really, I was just looking for a pitch to drive, I got a fastball kind of up in the zone, and I put the barrel on it."
Senior lefty David Napoli got the start on the mound for the Greenies, and was put on a pre-determined pitch count due to an injury he suffered two weeks ago against New Orleans. However, Napoli (1-1) came out strong striking out two in the first and retiring the side in the second.
"It felt great to get back out there," said Napoli. "I haven't thrown in two weeks so it felt awesome to get back out there and face some hitters again."
After the initial five runs were scored, UTSA pulled Trabanino (3-2) in favor of Logan Onda, who retired the next three batters he faced to get out of the first.
UTSA attempted to chip away at Tulane's lead in the third when Jesse Baker led off with a double to left center, advancing to third base on a balk. Correa III made up for his defensive mishap when he singled deep in the infield, scoring Baker from third. Napoli then got RJ Perucki and Mike Warren to pop up foul to end the inning.
Tulane put up three more runs in the fourth inning with two outs, Crohan, Middleton and Boudreaux reached on a fielder's choice, a single and a walk, respectively. Potkay came to the plate and lifted a high fly ball into shallow right field. UTSA's Rodney Garza, Baker and Warren all converged on the ball, but none could get to it in time as it fell to the ground, bringing all three base runners home, furthering Tulane's lead.
"It was great that we got out to a five run lead, but we're stressing to not quit putting the pedal down," said Middleton. "We're not satisfied. It was a sense of relief that we got that early lead, but we're harping on not letting off the pedal and continuing to keep the momentum on our side of the field by putting the pressure on them and not on us."
Junior Kyle McKenzie - who relieved Napoli to start the fourth - allowed only one base runner in the fourth and fifth innings, combined. However, he faced a little adversity in the top of the sixth after walking Perucki on four straight pitches. After inducing a fly ball out to Warren, designated hitter Tony Ramirez singled through the right side, advancing Perucki to third. With runners at the corners, catcher John Bormann singled to center field, scoring Perucki and moving Ramirez to second base. John Welborn walked to load the bases, and McKenzie was pulled in favor of freshman Daniel Rankin. Garza hit a 1-0 pitch into left field for a sacrifice fly before Rankin was able to get out of the inning with Tulane still leading, 8-3.
Cannizaro added to his line by notching a single to right center to start the seventh, and junior Andrew Garner was hit by a pitch. UTSA changed pitchers again, bringing in Wesley Cox who got freshman Tim Yandel to ground into a double play to end the inning.
Rankin retired the side in the eighth inning, and when UTSA came back to the plate in the bottom of the ninth, Garner was on the mound. He only needed five pitches to get three outs, allowing Tulane to win the rubber match in the series against UTSA.
Cannizaro finished the game going 2-for-4 with four RBIs and a run. Middleton went 3-for-5 with two runs, and Potkay also had a multi-hit contest, going 2-for-3 with a run and four RBIs.
Tulane will take a day off before returning to Greer Field at Turchin Stadium on Tuesday for a tilt against cross-town rival New Orleans, slated to begin at 3pm CST. It will mark the second time this season the two teams have squared off against one another, with the other contest favoring the Green Wave, 5-3 back on Feb. 27.
Fans can tune into Tulane's flagship station, 106.1 The Ticket, to listen to the live broadcast. Live stats will be made available on TulaneGreenWave.com.

When a man's wife dies in a freak accident and then starts popping up randomly—in the street, the supermarket, the backyard—either the man has turned denial into an art form or he's being trailed by a ghost. Any way you read it, something is clearly still going on between Aaron, who has a limp and a stutter but no tolerance for cosseting, and Dorothy, his no-fuss, no-nonsense doctor wife. By the end of Anne Tyler's warm, smart, deliciously written fiction, The Beginner's Goodbye (Knopf), it's obvious that even the most deeply buried truth can come back to haunt you.

We have begun the Holy Season of Lent. The traditional practice of "giving something up for Lent" is a practice of self-denial; our Lord said that to follow him, we must deny our very selves. It means we say No to ourselves and Yes to God and others. This reverses the pattern of sin, which says Yes to ourselves and No to God and others.
In our culture, the most violent No to God and others is abortion. Four thousand times every day in our nation, people say No to a little child so that they may say Yes to their fears or their plans.
This Lent, as we practice self-denial, let's think of these children. Let's offer our sacrifices for them. May all say Yes to God and Yes to the unborn.
–Fr. Frank

Joseph Chamberlain
In 1874 the council approved Chamberlain's scheme to purchase both the Birmingham Gas and Light Co. and the Staffordshire Gas Light Co. In the same year they began negotiations to acquire public control of the Birmingham Waterworks company and were successful in 1875. Chamberlain's third venture was his town improvement scheme. The 1875 Artisans Dwelling Act allowed corporations to purchase slum property for the purpose of clearance. Chamberlain saw in this not only an opportunity to clear away the slums in the overcrowded town centre, but a chance to carry out a radical new town improvement. The Birmingham Improvement scheme covered an area of 93 acres but was not entirely made up of slum property as it also included some fine Georgian buildings in New Street and the Old Square, which led to considerable extra expense as they could not be purchased under the terms of the Act.
Chamberlain's intention was to create a new "Parisian Boulevard" (Corporation Street) lined with blocks of modern dwellings. However, when it was built, the new street was composed of shops and office buildings. Work began in 1878 and Corporation Street was opened as far as Bull Street in 1881, but was not continued beyond Lancaster Circus until 1902.
Many slum properties were demolished. However, no provision was made in the Act or the Birmingham scheme for rehousing those made homeless. Not surprisingly this led to a certain amount of criticism. 'The Dart ' had this to say:
New Birmingham recipe for lowering the death rate of an insanitary area. Pull down nearly all the houses and make the inhabitants move somewhere else.
'Tis an excellent plan and I'll tell you for why.
Where's there no person living, no person can die.
Eventually after considerable local pressure the Corporation built 102 cottages on the farthest corner of the Improvement area in Lawrence and Ryder Streets during the 1890s.
Joseph Chamberlain married three times. His son by his second marriage was (Arthur) Neville Chamberlain, sometime Lord Mayor of Birmingham, and British Prime Minister at the outbreak of World War II. In 1906 Joseph Chamberlain suffered a stroke and did not fully recover, he died in 1914 just before the outbreak of the First World War.

Port Orange couple escape injury when seaplane flips in Flagler lake
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 5:56 p.m.
A Port Orange couple escaped injury when the seaplane they were in crash-landed in a lake in southwest Flagler County, Florida Highway Patrol investigators said.
The seaplane, a 2012 A22 Aeroprakt, was piloted by Allan Burrows, 59. The passenger was Burrows' wife, Katherine M. Burrows, 51, troopers said.
The crash-landing was reported at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, troopers said.
According to troopers, the seaplane attempted to land on Lake Disston in southwest Flagler County but the aircraft's floats were not responding correctly when it made contact with the lake. Allan Burrows tried to increase throttle to lift off but the left float submerged, forcing the airplane's nose to sway violently from side to side, troopers said.
The Flagler County Sheriff's Office got a report that the seaplane was upside down in Lake Disston in the 200 block of Lake Shore Drive, sheriff's spokesman Lt. Bob Weber said.
The Burrows swam to shore as the plane sank. Allan Burrows has 12 years of flight experience while his wife has 20 years' experience, troopers said. The couple could not be reached Wednesday.
Officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and a sheriff's marine unit along with FHP troopers responded to the scene of the crash. Florida Department of Environmental Protection workers planned to visit the crash scene, troopers said.

2014 marks 10th time Ricoh will present RSDA at the annual Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF)
Malvern, PA, March 4, 2014 - Ricoh Americas Corporation will continue to support the ingenuity of young scientists as an important investment in building a sustainable society by honoring high school students this spring at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF). Winners are those students who have developed brilliant innovations for driving environmentally and socially responsible businesses.Since 2005, Ricoh has recognized 23 students worldwide and from all walks of life with the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award (RSDA), and presented scholarships worth more than $325,000 with the help of a distinguished team of judges from academia and business. Resolving global concerns by creating harmony between business and the environment is one of Ricoh's founding principles. Therefore, Ricoh established the RSDA to encourage and champion students who share those values to bring about innovations that limit society's environmental impact.The company will present its 10th annual RSDA as part of the Special Awards Ceremony at Intel ISEF, which takes place May 11-16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Intel ISEF is the world's largest international pre-college science competition, showcasing more than 1,600 of the world's leading high school students and their independent scientific research projects. A total of $25,000 in scholarships from Ricoh is distributed among the winning projects and represents one of the top prize amounts in the Special Awards category.Students can learn more about participating in Intel ISEF by visiting: https://student.societyforscience.org/intel-isef.

Pieter Luyt, a 2006 winner from South Africa, said this about his experience winning the RSDA: "From an educational point of view, the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award has aided me in obtaining a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Pretoria. It has also inspired me to promote the idea of sustainability, with emphasis on energy generation, among my peers." A profile of Pieter's experience can be viewed here: http://www.ricoh-usa.com/about/environment/environmental_csr_isef.aspx. Profiles of all past winners will be published over the next few months.Judging for the Ricoh RSDA is based on the following criteria:• the originality of the project;• the project's potential significance regarding its contribution to sustainability;• the project's attempt to solve major environmental issues, without damaging the environment or human in its production or use; and• the project's connection with the four Ricoh pillars.(1)"Our corporate sustainability mission is to not only address the environmental issues society is currently facing, but to research and drive new opportunities that create sustainable growth," said Ron Nielson, West Regional Vice President, Ricoh USA. "Our company's ongoing support and commitment to the Ricoh Sustainable Development Award really underscores this mission, and we are proud to support this event since it takes place right in our region. The students participating in the RSDA competition are some of the brightest, most innovative thinkers on the topics of sustainability and we are excited to meet some of the competitors in person at our booth this year."Ricoh creates value for clients every day by helping them reduce consumption of resources, such as paper (by digitizing information flows) and energy (by creating efficient office equipment). The company also continuously improves the sustainability of its own operations with measures such as:• sophisticated networks for resource recovery and recycling;• ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals;• ISO 14001-certified manufacturing facilities around the world; and• zero-waste-to-landfill manufacturing plants.The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, a program of Society for Science & the Public, brings students together from approximately 70 countries, regions and territories.

* This agenda was approved in September 2012 by the previous Board of Commissioners. The agenda will be brought before the new commissioners this month and is subject to change, according to Carey Disney Ricks, the county's legislative and public affairs manager.
And he doesn't want to do it again.
Goolsby, a Republican preparing to start his second term, and Democratic Rep. Susi Hamilton organized a local officials caucus held Thursday morning at the Wilmington City Hall. Its purpose was to unite legislators and local officials across party lines.
Goolsby said he wants to communicate more with the school board, the city council, the county commissioners and leaders from the beach towns.
"Folks, y'all are the ones on the front lines, and we need to hear from you," Goolsby said.
Hamilton, who is also preparing to start her second term, said she will work with local officials. "We're going to listen to one another," she said.
The event, which also featured Reps.-elect Rick Catlin and Ted Davis Jr., both Republicans, was largely devoid of political disagreements, though political differences surfaced.
After Catlin and Davis rattled off their tentative committee assignments, Hamilton said it was enlightening because the House Democrats had not yet received word of their assignments.
"Perhaps you can tell me what committees I'm on," she said. Catlin replied, "I think it's because we're in the majority that we know what our assignments are...."
Several local officials said the meeting was overdue, though no one from the city council brought up their past frustrations with the delegation.
At the start of the 2011 legislative session, the Republican-dominated local delegation, which included Goolsby, dismissed the Wilmington City Council's requests, which frustrated city officials. Around that time, council members expressed frustration with the delegation. Mayor Bill Saffo and others said the legislators cared more about New Hanover County's priorities and did not recognize the city's needs.
After the meeting, Saffo said the caucus was good first step forward. But he added that he is sure the delegation won't move forward on some issues in the city's wish list.
"Obviously, the proof is always in the pudding" he said.
When it was time for local officials to ask questions Thursday, they focused more on the future.
Kure Beach Mayor Dean Lambeth asked that the legislators shield Fort Fisher State Historic Site and the N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher from further cuts. Clerk of Court Jan Kennedy lamented that her staff of 62 has not had a raise in four years and said she just lost a good employee who got a better-paying job with the state.
The legislators also alluded to the upcoming tax reform effort. Catlin, speaking of a recent meeting on the matter, said, "There were a lot of questions that didn't have answers."
"The scariest thing about making changes like that are unintended consequences," he said, adding that he wants to get feedback about how those changes could affect New Hanover County-area governments and businesses.
Goolsby also said he wants the county, the city and the beach towns to send the delegation their legislative agendas by the end of January.

ZF-10015: add tests Zend_Log_Writer_SyslogTest and Zend_Log_Writer_ZendMonitorTest
The issue ZF-7603 was reopened (by Freeaqingme) request that the tests were added, but not exists Zend_Log_Writer_SyslogTest. Also not exists test to Zend_Log_Writer_ZendMonitor.
Freeaqingme suggested (in discussion #zftalk.dev) adding of: Zend_Log_Writer_SyslogTest Zend_Log_Writer_ZendMonitorTest
Unfortunately, there are issues in writing tests for both of these log writers. In each case, the only meaningful tests we could write are integration tests, not unit tests, as there is no real way to stub out the functionality. Integration tests for syslog would require that they be run only by a privileged user (since the system logs are generally readable only by root on *nix machines, and often only by Administrators on Windows machines) -- and this has security implications.
As for a ZendMonitor test suite, there is no API for retrieving the messages once logged.
Fixed in trunk r22530.
Applied in branch release-1.10 r22532.

In Mass Effect 2, there was a point where you had to abandon doing any more side missions and focus on the main story to avoid serious consequences where half or the entire crew of the Normandy dies if you wait too long to rescue them.
However, it was possible to do all side missions and still save everybody if you were careful to delay obtaining the Reaper IFF until all side missions were done.
With Earth under attack there is a clear sense of urgency in Mass Effect 3, so I'm wondering if I really have time to go cruising around the galaxy, or if this will have negative consequences in the final outcome.
In other words, if I want to do as many side missions as possible, do I have to be careful to avoid consequences?

Panama City - Bay District School officials are trying to make parents aware of major changes to the F-CAT grading system which could affect their child's score and their school's grade. In December the State Board of Education raised F-CAT scores for reaching passing level, making the cut more difficult to achieve. Now the board is set to vote Tuesday on changes to the way schools are graded, which could result in a full letter drop for many schools.
The Florida Board of Education plans to vote "yes" on new rules that many fear will lead to lower school grades. Not because the schools are performing worse, but because the standards will be different. It's very frustrating for teachers like Jennifer Mann. "What we are doing has not changed. What the school is doing has not changed, but just this formula has been changed," said Mann, who teaches at Breakfast Point Elementary. "Many schools will drop a letter grade or more just because of the changes they've implemented," said Bay County Superintendent Bill Husfelt.
Bay District School officials estimate every middle school will fall one grade or two, except for Mowat, Bay Haven and North Bay Haven. They expect the same fate for every elementary school except for Breakfast Point, Hiland Park, Northside, Patronis, Tyndall, and Bay Haven Elementary. Which they expect will keep their "A" status. The rules also include grading schools for developmentally and emotionally challenged students, schools that have never been graded before. "Margaret K Lewis, New Horizons, very special schools that take care of their students and love their students, but no one in their right mind would have those schools graded and compared to the other schools. It just should not happen."
The change would also call for mainstreaming the scores of developmentally disabled and English as a Second Language students. "Those students already face challenges on their own. To measure their progress and what teachers have done with them all year long on one day, one test, does a horrible disservice to them," said Mann.
In December the Board of Education voted in higher passing scores which the district says will lead to an increase in the number of students failing to pass the F-CAT. "The children are going to suffer because we are going to tell them "you were a good student and now you are not a good student, we are going to have to put you in remediation because you are not where you need to be," that is going to happen overnight before parents even know what is happening," said Husfelt. "We have no problem with raising standards. It's just that when you do that there are unintended consequences and the unintended consequences are what we want the parents to be alerted to," said Husfelt.
On March 1st the district will send home this letter which explains the changes and the implications:
In spring 2012, Florida public school students will be taking the new Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT), commonly referred to as FCAT 2.0, which is a much more rigorous test with increased expectations across all grade levels. In addition, the State Board of Education (SBE) raised FCAT cut scores for each passing level (Level 1 - Level 5) in December 2011 to be applied in spring 2012 - thereby further raising the achievement bar. These decisions were supported by the Florida Department of Education regardless of the differing opinions expressed by committees comprised of education professionals across the state assigned to evaluate these changes.
While everyone agrees that increased accountability and high academic standards are certainly in the best interest of our students; the reality of these changes in terms of real life consequences for students needs to be recognized and understood.
The combination of a much more rigorous FCAT test, coupled with raising the threshold for receiving a passing score will result in a dip in student scores. There is great concern that many Florida students will not be successful on FCAT 2.0.
For example, students that have consistently scored Level 3 (passing rate) their entire school career could easily score below the passing level with the new standards. The most dramatic impact will likely be in grades 3, 4, and 10.
What does all this mean in terms of student performance on FCAT 2.0?
· There will be an increase in the number of students failing to pass FCAT 2.0
· Subsequently, there will be an increase in the number of students having to take remedial classes for the portions of FCAT 2.0 that they failed
o Secondary impact: the student's ability to take elective courses (i.e. band, art, drama, music, etc.) will likely be limited due to the addition of remedial courses
What does this means for schools/the school district?
§ Increased costs to school districts due to an increase in the number of remedial classes
§ Potential elimination of elective courses in order to accommodate an increase in remedial courses
What is truly important to remember is that lower FCAT test scores do not necessarily indicate that a student learned less this year than in prior years.
It does indicate the student has work to do to master the new curriculum well enough to successfully progress to the new higher levels of accountability as required by the state. As teachers and students spend more time working with the new and higher expectations placed upon them, it is expected that test scores will rebound, student knowledge will increase, and ultimately the student will be better prepared for life after high school, either in college or the workplace.
To that end, all of us - students, parents, teachers, principals, administrators, superintendents and our communities - must work together to continue to ensure the academic success of our students, which in turn directly correlates to the economic vitality of our communities.
Keeping you informed,
Bill Husfelt

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
NextBio and Intel inked a collaboration aimed at advancing the use of Big Data technologies in genomics, including optimizing and stabilizing the Hadoop stack. The two firms will apply the experience gained from NextBio's use of Big Data applications to improve HDFS (Hadoop distributed file system), Hadoop, and HBase. Improvements made by NextBio to the Hadoop stack will be passed on to the open-source community.
Complex data that needs computational-intensive analysis requires not only Big Data open source, but optimized hardware and software management solutions to deliver scale, Intel explains. The collaboration with NextBio will work to deliver these capabilities to the Big Data community and life science industry. "The use of Big Data technologies at NextBio enables researchers and clinicians to mine billions of data points in real time to discover new biomarkers, clinically assess targets and drug profiles, optimally design clinical trials, and interpret patient molecular data," comments Satnam Alag, Ph.D., the firm's chief technology officer and vp of engineering.
"NextBio has invested significantly in the use of Big Data technologies to handle the tsunami of genomic data being generated and its expected exponential growth. As we further scale our infrastructure to handle this growing data resource, we are excited to work with Intel to make the Hadoop stack better and give back to the open-source community."
NextBio has generated a platform for aggregating and interpreting large quantities of genomic and life science data for research and clinical applications. The firm claims this houses the world's largest repository of curated and correlated public and private genomic data, including data from multiple public repositories of genomic studies and patient molecular profiles, up-to-date reference genomes, and clinical trial results. The disparate data from these resources are systematically processed, curated, and integrated into a cloud-based platform.

By Ken Duckworth, NAMI Medical Director
I am one of many who would say that Robin Williams was among my favorite actors. His portrayal of a psychologist in Good Will Hunting is my all-time favorite. A colleague of mine told me her kids said to her last night, "Mrs. Doubtfire is dead." They were crushed by this news which seemed so unbelievable based on their experience of the character. He was a figure that transcended generations. It was a very sad day for many, and my heart goes out to his family, who will bear the incredible pain of his death long after the news cycle ends.
I recalled that he had a history of struggles, but I was still shocked to hear that he had died by suicide. He was a genius and had many supports. But of course depression doesn't calculate those things. Severe depression distorts rational thinking and can lead to the fixed idea that hopelessness and pain are to be your experience forever. I have heard this from patients who have lived after suicide attempts. They told me they had lost all perspective and simply wanted to end their pain. They often reported simply losing a sense that they mattered to other people and forgot that they too were loved.
Depression distorts reality and causes a risk of death. It is a persistent and serious public health crisis that doesn't get enough coverage. It can happen to anyone and is associated with a great deal of the suicides in our country. When combined with a substance use disorder it becomes even riskier and harder to treat, and when it is part of a bipolar disorder it requires extra attention. Other public health problems like heart disease have seen great results in the past several decades—we cannot say the same about suicide.
What can we do about this public health crisis that takes so many from us?
- Advocate. Fight for better treatments and for research into the underlying causes of psychiatric illnesses.
- Be proactive. Work to be sure that people get screened for this depression and that help happens earlier. National Depression Screening Day is October 9.
- Get medical. Get checked for medical causes of depression like thyroid disease.
- Take the long view. We can encourage people to stay with treatments as some do work even after others have failed. That is well established from the STAR*D study by NIMH.
- Integrate. Co-occurring disorders (like depression and substance use) often are poorly integrated into a persons care plan. This needs to change as substance use can be a failed self medication strategy to treat depression.
- Change the field. We can demand more cognitive behavioral therapy, which clearly helps with depression, but many mental health professionals aren't trained to provide it.
- Open up. We can change the dialogue about depression—it is a condition that needs to be talked about. Isolation and silence are the dangerous traveling partners of depression.
- Come together. Our voice is more powerful together than alone.
- Love. Like Robin's character in Good Will Hunting we can reach out and love those we know who are struggling and let them know we are here for them.
Chances are someone you know is struggling with depression, and this is a simple way that can make a difference.
Rest in Peace Robin. We shall all miss you.

Season's Soiree
THE PARTY Neiman Marcus and the Crystal Charity Ball Committee's annual midday bash always kicks off the social season in style, and this year was no exception. A fashion show and luncheon featuring Alexander McQueen fall/winter 2013 honored Dallas' best-dressed women and their Hall of Fame honoree, Lisa Troutt. THE SCENE As usual, Nancy Rogers invited a crew of close friends up to the Michael Flores Salon for a private Champagne reception, to put a little zip in everyone's step. From there, with a click-clack of heels and comely gams, the predominantly McQueen-clad ladies made their way down to the main event. This year, the fashion show and luncheon were combined—the elevated stage flanked on either side by flower-laden tables. THE HIGHLIGHTS Each of this year's best dressed babes—Tricia Besing, Nancy Carlson, Francie Moody-Dahlberg, Mary Clare Finney, Dee Dee Lee, Patty Leyendecker, Lynn McBee, Pam Perella, Aileen Pratt and Christi Urschel—strutted the runway to the cheers of the crowd. Afterward, Creative Director Sarah Burton's latest collection, last seen in Paris, made its fantastical debut in Dallas. Photography by Dana Driensky and Stephen Karlisch

EUGENE, Ore. -- Ten Oregon alumni are set to begin competition at the 2012 London Olympics, when the track and field portion of the games begins on Friday.
Between Friday and August 11, there will potentially be at least one Duck in competition each day.
Oregon's record contingent includes two former Olympians - Galen Rupp and Andrew Wheating - as well as eight others making their Olympic debuts: Keshia Baker, Zoe Buckman, Matthew Centrowitz, Ashton Eaton, Becky Holliday, Cyrus Hostetler, Brianne Theisen and Rachel Yurkovich. Below is a breakdown of the Duck alums' Olympic schedule:
Friday, August 3
The first day of track and field action finds Theisen, representing Team Canada, beginning competition in the first four events of the heptathlon. Last month, Theisen completed a remarkable senior season that saw her win the heptathlon with the second-highest point total in NCAA history (6,440) for her seventh career national title. She is also one of three finalists for the 2012 Bowerman Award.
August 3 is also has the qualifying heats for the men's 1,500 meters, which include Centrowitz and Wheating.
Saturday, August 4
Theisen wraps up the heptathlon with the final three events, while Holliday gets going in the qualifying rounds of the women's pole vault. Holliday won the NCAA pole vault title for the Ducks as a senior in 2003.
In one of the more anticipated races, Galen Rupp is in the final of the men's 10,000 meters at the end of the night. Rupp's senior season in 2008-09 was one unequalled in NCAA annals. He was the 2008 national cross country champion in the fall, won the NCAA 3,000, 5,000 and anchored the victorious distance medley relay squad indoors and then came back outdoors for the remarkable double of winning the 5,000 and 10,000.
Sunday, August 5
Semifinals of the men's 1,500 are on the slate for Centrowitz and Wheating.
Wheating was a two-time NCAA champ at 800 meters, and in 2010 pulled off the rare sweep of both the 800 and the 1,500 meters at the NCAA Championships at Hayward Field. Centrowitz followed Wheating as the NCAA 1,500 winner in 2011 and went on to take the U.S. title and finish third at the IAAF World Championships.
Monday, August 6
Holliday is in the final of the women's pole vault, while Buckman competes for Australia in the opening heats of the women's 1,500 meters.
Tuesday, August 7
What could be a big day for the Oregon alums begins with Yurkovich, the 2008-09 NCAA champion, beginning competition in the qualifying rounds of the women's javelin.
The day concludes with the final of the men's 1,500 meters for Centrowitz and Wheating.
Wednesday, August 8
Eaton begins his quest for the gold in the men's decathlon on one of the heavier competition days for the Oregon alums. Eaton broke the world record in the decathlon by scoring 9,039 points in winning his second straight American title last month at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials at Historic Hayward Field. The Bend., Ore., native was a five-time NCAA champion for the Ducks.
In addition to Eaton, Rupp has the opening heats of the men's 5,000 meters, Buckman is in the semifinals of the 1,500 meters and Hostetler begins competition in the men's javelin.
Thursday, August 9
The day could belong to Eaton as the decathlon wraps up on center stage.
Yurkovich also has the finals of the women's javelin.
Friday, August 10
Baker finally joins the action with the preliminary heats of the women's 4x400 meters.
Buckman would have the finals of the women's 1,500 meters.
Saturday, August 11
The final day of competition has the finals of the women's 4x400 meter relay for Baker, the men's javelin for Hostetler and the men's 5,000 for Rupp.
Hostetler was the 2009-10 Pac-10 champion and still holds the league record (272-10), while Baker anchored Oregon's memorable 4x400 meter relay victory over Texas A&M at the 2010 NCAA Championships at Historic Hayward Field.
In addition to these 10 alums, a pair of athletes who began their careers at Oregon will also be competing in London. Kyle Alcorn will be a member of Team USA in the men's steeplechase. He ran his first two seasons at Oregon before transferring to Arizona State.
Chamberlain Oguchi will also be at the Olympics as a member of Nigeria's men's basketball team. Oguchi played his first three seasons at Oregon before finishing up at Illinois State.

hello everyone,
for a school project we recieved the NXT robot, and i was trying some stuff. so i put on LeJos since with the NXT software it is harder/ weird way.
though i got the motors + touch sensor working, it moves around correctly,
though now i added the ultrasonic sensor. and i just cant get it to work.
it keeps stuck at 255. it isnt changing.
i tryed the following things:
- tryed al ports (i know 4 doesnt work for this)
- downloaded a new classes.jar from a earlyer post (more aimed @ the light sensor)
- checked if it was not the screen wich was showing wrong values
- tryed the older firmware (8.0) got 8.5
though this all didnt have any effect.
does anyone know what i am doing wrong? it worked fine with the NXT firmware.
thanks in advance[/list]
