Tiger Volleyball Resumes Wild Rivalry With Penn, Hosts Ivy Opener Friday

If you are planning on watching Friday's Ivy League volleyball opener between Penn and Princeton either at Jadwin Gym or over the Ivy League Digital Network, here are two pieces of advice. Expect a wild match, and don't make late plans.
Chances are, this one will go for a while.
One of the best rivalries in the league will serve as the Ivy opener, as both Penn and Princeton will meet Friday at 7 pm in Dillon Gym. Five of the last six meetings between the two teams, including both last season, went to a 15-13 finish in the fifth set.
The opener, held at the Palestra, certainly didn't look promising for Princeton. The Tigers had lost all four five-set matches at that point of the season, and they trailed 2-1 after three sets. But Princeton rallied from an early 9-5 deficit in the fourth and won the crucial late points in both sets to take the match.
The return at Dillon Gym provides far different memories for Princeton, which seemed well in control deep in the third set. Penn caught fire late and never looked back, taking the final two sets and putting a major dent in Princeton's Ivy championship dreams.
While there will still be 13 more Ivy League matches to play after Friday, a quick start would be ideal for Princeton, which seems like it is finally getting healthy at the right time. That includes junior middle Nicole Kincade, who was named to the all-tournament team at the Bryant Invitational and is averaging more than a block per set.
Fellow middle Tiana Woolridge, a 2012 All-Ivy selection, has been among the league's most efficient hitters this season. She has a .369 attack percentage, second-best in the Ivy League, and her 1.8 kills per set are third best on the team.
Head coach Sabrina King has a range of options to use around the court, though you can assume sophomore Kendall Peterkin will be out there somewhere. A first-team All-Ivy honoree as a freshman, Peterkin leads the Ivy League in both points (4.4) and kills (3.8).
Penn's top hitter this season has been sophomore Jasmine DeSilvam who is averaging 2.9 kills per set. The Quakers come into the weekend having won four of their last five matches, incluiding 3-2 home wins over both Temple and Weber State.
Following Friday's match, Princeton will play five of the next seven on the road. Their next home matches will come against Dartmouth and Harvard on the weekend of Oct. 18-19.

"Thromboembolism in pregnancy." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
This guideline updates a previous version: Thromboembolism in pregnancy. Washington (DC): American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG); 2000 Aug. (ACOG educational bulletin number 234).
Venous thromboembolism during pregnancy
To provide information regarding the risk factors, diagnosis, management, and prevention of thromboembolism, particularly venous thromboembolism in pregnancy
Pregnant women at risk of venous thromboembolism
Diagnosis/Risk Assessment
The MEDLINE database, the Cochrane Library, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' own internal resources and documents were used to conduct a literature search to locate relevant articles published between January 1985 and December 2010. The search was restricted to articles published in the English language. Priority was given to articles reporting results of original research, although review articles and commentaries also were consulted. Abstracts of research presented at symposia and scientific conferences were not considered adequate for inclusion in this document.
Guidelines published by organizations or institutions such as the National Institutes of Health and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists were reviewed, and additional studies were located by reviewing bibliographies of identified articles. When reliable research was not available, expert opinions from obstetrician–gynecologists were used.
Not stated
Studies were reviewed and evaluated for quality according to the method outlined by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
I: Evidence obtained from at least one properly designed randomized controlled trial.
II-1: Evidence obtained from well-designed controlled trials without randomization.
II-2: Evidence obtained from well-designed cohort or case-control analytic studies, preferably from more than one center or research group.
II-3: Evidence obtained from multiple time series with or without the intervention. Dramatic results in uncontrolled experiments also could be regarded as this type of evidence.
III: Opinions of respected authorities, based on clinical experience, descriptive studies, or reports of expert committees.
Analysis of available evidence was given priority in formulating recommendations. When reliable research was not available, expert opinions from obstetrician-gynecologists were used. See also the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of Recommendations" field regarding Level C recommendations.
Based on the highest level of evidence found in the data, recommendations are provided and graded according to the following categories:
Level A—Recommendations are based on good and consistent scientific evidence.
Level B—Recommendations are based on limited or inconsistent scientific evidence.
Level C—Recommendations are based primarily on consensus and expert opinion.
The guideline developer reviewed a published cost analysis.
Practice Bulletins are validated by two internal clinical review panels composed of practicing obstetrician-gynecologists generalists and sub-specialists. The final guidelines are also reviewed and approved by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Executive Board.
The grades of evidence (I-III) and levels of recommendations (A-C) are defined at the end of the "Major Recommendations"
The following recommendation is based on good and consistent scientific evidence (Level A):
The following recommendations and conclusions are based on limited or inconsistent scientific evidence (Level B):
The following recommendations are based primarily on consensus and expert opinion (Level C):
Grades of Evidence
Levels of Recommendations
An algorithm for diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis during pregnancy is provided in the original guideline document.
The type of supporting evidence is identified and graded for each recommendation (see the "Major Recommendations" field).
The information in this guideline is designed to aid practitioners in making decisions about appropriate obstetric and gynecologic care. These guidelines should not be construed as dictating an exclusive course of treatment or procedure.

Gearhart Hotel
A Scenic Oregon Coast Hotel
*** Make your reservations online ***
or by phone at (503) 717-8159 or (855) 846-7583 ***
Just four miles north of Seaside, our McMenamins Gearhart Hotel along the northern Oregon Coast is located adjacent to the Gearhart Golf Links and just across the dunes from the beach.
Gearhart Hotel is located in the historic Kelly House, the same building that houses McMenamins Sand Trap Pub and Gearhart Golf Links pro shop. Eighteen guest rooms were constructed on the third floor of the Cape Cod-style building, featuring king- or queen-sized beds with en suite bathrooms. The rooms are decorated in a Pacific Northwest coastal style, integrating McMenamins' signature artwork inspired by the the book "The Mystery of Golf" by 19th-century author Arnold Haultain.
McMenamins opened the Gearhart Hotel on May 11, 2012. It has three predecessors over the past 122 years, each at different sites in Gearhart, but all connected with the pioneer golf course.
The original Hotel Gearhart, built in 1890, was a popular summertime retreat for wealthy Portlanders and their families. Within a year or two, an informal golf course was laid out nearby (which evolved into today's 18-hole Gearhart Golf Links). The hostelry burned down in 1913, as did it successor, two years later. The third Hotel Gearhart opened in 1923, and remained an Oregon Coast landmark until being razed in 1972.
This newest incarnation of the Gearhart Hotel is "a phoenix rising from the ashes," a welcome place not only for golfers but also for visitors all along the coast. Located just across the way from the Pacific Ocean, the hotel is a convenient spot from which to explore Oregon's seaside towns and villages.
Among Oregon Coast hotels, McMenamins Gearhart Hotel is scenically situated to fit your golf and authentic Pacific Northwest coastal needs. Make reservations online, or by phone at (503) 717-8159 or (855) 846-7583.
Gearhart Hotel allows pets on part of the back patio and in hotel rooms for a $15 fee.

Tigers Open 2013 With Lone Home Race In Showdown Of Last Two EAWRC Champs
The 2011 Princeton women's lightweight season was a thriller from start to finish. The senior-laden Tigers capped a perfect regular season with an Eastern title over Wisconsin, and they nearly caught Stanford at the wire in the IRA national final.
Last season was a far different tale, though not a completely unexpected one. Experience was replaced by youth, and Princeton was forced to trade victories for improvement. It may not have been as enjoyable, but the steps were necessary, and the rowers rewarded the coaching staff with consistent dedication and enthusiasm.
This year, the Tigers are looking forward to showing just how far they have come over these 12 months, and they are willing to travel just about anywhere to prove it.
Princeton will open its 2013 season Easter Sunday morning against Wisconsin in a showdown of the last two EAWRC champions. The Tigers will also make two trips to California, including one for the IRA national championships. They will race more times on the Charles River (twice) than on Lake Carnegie (once), and they will return to Cooper River for the Eastern Sprints on May 5.
"We were really excited for fall racing this year and put lots of hard work in on the water, but coming out of the fall season, I think our entire team knew we were capable of so much more than we showed," junior Maggie Stroebel said. "It really put a fire under us going into the winter season and Tampa for our training trip. The team is at full strength right now, with everyone healthy and firing on all cylinders. We're ready to surprise some people this season."
While the whole group has put in the effort during the offseason, two of the big reasons for optimism rest in both the captain and the sophomore class.
Senior Alex Morss is the captain and is coming off a trip to Trakai, Lithuania, for the U-23 World Championships last summer; she earned the lone LW1x spot by winning at the trials at nearby Mercer Lake.
"Although she's the captain now, Alex has been an incredible leader on our team since my freshman year," Stroebel said. "She may not always be the most vocal person on the team, but she leads by example. She walks the walk. Alex puts her heart and soul into the success of our team, and deserves beyond everything she has earned for herself in rowing. She is one of the absolute top collegiate lightweight women in the country and an inspiration to our whole team. I have immense respect for her."
The current sophomore class had a strong effort at Sprints last season, placing second in the novice final.
The second varsity race will open Sunday competition at 8 am, while the first varsity showdown will conclude the morning at 9:30. The Badgers are the reigning league power, though Morss was part of the 2011 Tiger crew that knocked off Wisconsin by nearly four seconds for its first Sprints crown since 2003.
"That was pretty special," Morss said of that championship row down Cooper River. "Especially for those seniors, who hadn't beaten Wisco, it made me realize how special that experience was."
The rivalry between Princeton and Wisconsin is often settled on Cooper River, though they have had several early-season races in California as well. For this Princeton roster, though, it will be the first time the Tigers will get to race the Badgers on Lake Carnegie. The two programs have met five times previously on Lake Carnegie, though only one time since the 2001 season (May 3, 2008).

Left turns go the way of the Dodo bird
Published: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 1:56 p.m.
Perhaps it speaks well of Lexington that a major topic of discussion this week has involved the reinstatement of no left turns at the Square and the quality of repaving on Main Street, issues that some might call relatively minor. Thankfully big-city problems don't often intrude. A homicide did occur in Lexington on Tuesday afternoon, but violence is usually rare. For contrast, more than 40 people were injured and seven killed in Chicago this weekend.
Violence isn't the only big-city issue that residents of Lexington and Davidson County avoid. One of the biggest headaches in a metropolitan area involves congestion on the highways. Try traveling through Charlotte on Interstate 85 these days during rush hour. The cost of living remains lower in the county, too; that's why northern Davidson County serves as a bedroom community for so many folks who work in Forsyth or Guilford counties. The air is cleaner, the grass greener, and the food, especially barbecue, just seems to taste better.
But those small-town issues can be annoying at times, even if not monumental in the list of truly serious matters. Take the left turns at the Square. The North Carolina Department of Transportation conducted a three-month pilot project of allowing left turns from Main to Center and Center to Main. Some drivers found it hard to make the left turns after being conditioned for years not to do so. Others gleefully enjoyed being able to make like a NASCAR driver and turn left.
Perhaps the mistake was assuming the change would become permanent after the three months ended. But word came this week that due to several concerns, the city asked NCDOT officials to again prohibit left turns. No huge traffic accident occurred during the trial period, but concerns about future accidents seemed to drive the decision. Those who liked the left turns viewed the decision as a step backward and another sign of a city unwilling to make a progressive move.
That might be a bit unfair, but it does seem like the safety concerns could have been addressed. Anytime a traffic pattern changes it takes motorists a while to adjust. One compromise option would have been to prohibit left turns at busy times of the day but allow them at other periods, much like reduced speeds in school zones when students are arriving and departing.
Perhaps the Confederate soldier, who used to reside in the middle of the intersection between Main and Center but now occupies a corner quadrant of the Square, chuckled over the brouhaha over the left turns that weren't, then were, then weren't again. After all, he fought on the losing side in the Civil War. If he could talk, he'd remind residents to focus on what's really important. Maybe grumbling about the little annoyances is OK for a bit, but then it's time to turn our attention to more serious matters.

Last evening, my girlfriends and I met for dinner at a local Italian restaurant. We visit about every six weeks and have been doing so consistently since we were rejoined at a grade-school reunion 20 years ago. We have known each other, however, for more than 40 years. During our meal, in a quiet inner moment beyond the chatter of patrons and the clanking of tableware, I looked at my friends and thought, "Wow! We all look really great." Please understand that I am a very modest person without a conceited bone in my body; but dare I say, it's true! I must have one vain bone somewhere. Anyway, we are all in our 50s, have each lived through a vast variety of joys as well as sorrows, and have come through with flying colors and very few wrinkles to show for it. There is precious history between us. So gathering with these women is always a special time. We cherish each other and are committed to regular visits despite any obstacles along the way.
I met my three friends in seventh grade when my city dwelling family migrated to the suburbs. It was a bumpy time in our family life. That summer, during our first night in our newly purchased home, the area was hit with the heaviest rains ever in the town's history, resulting in a damaging flood. The lower level of our home, where the movers had placed every piece of our furniture until our house could be carpeted, quickly filled with water before our disbelieving eyes. We stood, dumbfounded, at the top of the stairs, and watched every drain gushing wildly with floodwater from the torrential rains. For days afterward, the furniture floated around the room until the four feet of water slowly trickled back into the sewer system, leaving our belongings wet and moldy; leaving us bewildered and practically homeless. We had to move into an apartment for a couple of months until my parents could get the house in a livable condition. We moved back into the house just before the school year began. It was a dreadful, stressful summer; not a pleasant prequel to a fresh chapter in the life of a shy student, the new girl at a huge school, in a neighborhood where she knew no one. I felt overwhelmed and anxious, like a foreigner in a strange country.
Soon, however, a few friendly people befriended me, the school year got underway, and I slowly adjusted to my new surroundings. Three friends became my lifeboats for navigating the waves of change during the awkward, adolescent years of junior high. Fast forward through high school, college, marriages, careers, children, relocation, divorces, deaths of loved ones, and life in general. The four of us are still together and known to each other as the Grade School Girls. Each of us is different from the other in terms of our experiences, our personalities, our family stories, and our interests. It is in the beauty of our differences that we remain bonded to one another, in support of each woman's path, and appreciative of the long history that we share. Our unique stories are deeply respected amongst the group. We realize that the hand of Fate gifted to us this four-way friendship that maintains its strength despite time, distance, careers, and family responsibilities. A meeting does not go by without recognition and gratitude, spoken or unspoken, for our special alliance.
Between the four of us, there is reach into diverse and interesting fields of life. We are a conglomerate of experience, knowledge, culture, and talent. Our depth of character as a foursome makes me aware, each time we are together, that there is richness in age. We are wise in our reverence for this friendship that we have sculpted over many years. Just as an antique increases in value over time, or a cause gains momentum as interest grows, so our bond has solidified over the last 40-plus years of nurturing. We are a melting pot of wonderful diversity. One woman is a career ICU nurse who loves to travel, ski, and hike; another is a math teacher turned food-bank manager who loves long distance biking, cross country skiing, and decorating; another is an interior decorator and professional florist who loves the outdoors, bowling, and crafts; yours truly is the career businesswoman turned stay-at-home mother who loves writing, volunteering, and yoga. That's just the tip of the iceberg of who we are as a team.
Fate brought us together as youngsters. Fate separated us for a while after high school while each pursued her life's callings in marriage, family, and career. Fate brought us back together 20 years ago at a grade-school reunion, and we have locked into our connection ever since. While one of the group moved to a faraway place for some time, we kept in touch by calling her, or sending menus with notes, from the places where the other three of us met. While I became preoccupied with giving birth and raising two more children, we scheduled our visits around feeding and bedtimes. While two women's marriages dissolved, we supported them through their stress and pain, and then rejoiced with them in their happiness when love blossomed anew. When one woman lost her dear son in a tragic, unexpected death, we wept together in devastation and now hope for our friend's healing through her palpable grief.
Life goes on, and we will go on, together. During the years from grade school until now, we have grown individually and as a group. Middle age has brought us to a new place in our lives and a deeper connection in our friendship. Perhaps we look a bit different now, too. Together we marvel at the unwelcome changes that are happening to our bodies as we age. With humor, we marvel at the great shape we are fortunate to be in as middle agers, save for some aches, pains, and hormonal fluctuations. We are learning to accept this new phase in life by talking about it, laughing about it, and dealing with it. Apparently, there isn't a whole lot a girl can do to halt the aging process, so we take care of ourselves and make the best of what we have been given. By the looks of us (and once again, here's that vain bone), we are doing a fine job, individually and collectively.
I felt inspired to write about us girls today, after we spent last evening together. Our gathering was a typical and comfortable visit during which we got caught up on each person's news —adventurous, mundane and otherwise. We shared about our ups and downs, our hairstylists, our enjoyment of good food and a great martini, our jobs, our family tidbits, our opinion about the waiter/waitress (last night, he was very young, very tall, and very sarcastic, but cute), and we enjoyed our usual comedy while trying to figure the tab. Unfailingly and laughably, four intelligent women struggle to do the math when it comes time to tip, split, and pay the bill. Most likely the wine or the martinis are to blame. It never fails, too, that, at the end of our visit, we part ways feeling uplifted, even in times of difficulty; grateful, even in times of loss; energized, even in times of fatigue; loved, even in times of personal struggle; and always, happy for each other's successes in life and for our friendship.
The Grade School Girls are in it for the long haul. To us, I lift up a glass and say: Viva la GSG's!

Is your work killing you?
OK, it probably isn't. But if you're over 50, there's a pretty good chance the way you work is hurting your health.
And if your employer or you (if you're self-employed) don't make some changes in your workplace, you could soon be paying the price in increased sick days, higher medical bills and plain old fatigue.
That's my takeaway from a fascinating webinar I attended this week, called "Designing the Workplace for an Aging Population," conducted by experts at the workplace ergonomic consulting firm, Humantech.
To keep health costs and absenteeism down, employers will undoubtedly need to make their workplaces more inviting and suitable for older employees over the next decade or two.
Today, roughly 19 percent of the U.S. workforce is 55 or older; by 2025, 25 percent will be, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. "And the largest increase in the workforce population will be small-framed, older women," Humantech ergonomic engineer Kent Hatcher said in the webinar.
Preventing work-related injuries is especially important if you're in your 50s or 60s, because older workers heal more slowly than younger ones. "Older muscles have a reduced capacity to regenerate after tissue injury stemming from overexertion," Hatcher said. (One company that understands the need to alter its workplace is BMW, which has been redesigning assembly lines for its older workers, as I recently blogged.)
Click here for three suggestions from Hatcher and his colleague Christy Lotz to reduce your health risks at work if you're in your 50s or 60s.

ZF-1309: Unable to clone Zend_Pdf_Page
This class does not implement __clone() and copying pages fails. There's a hint that page cloning is done via constructor and not is implemented yet:
if ($param1 instanceof Zend_Pdf_Page && $param2 === null && $param3 === null) {
/** @todo implementation */
throw new Zend_Pdf_Exception('Not implemented yet.');
This missing bit is a serious issue if you try to do proper OOP. IMHO copying object belongs to clone keyword and __clone() method. And if it's meant to be done by the constructor then at least __clone() should throw an exception.
Assigned to Alexander due to Zend_Pfd relation
Postponed to post-1.0 period
Is there any Idea when this is going to be implemented ??
I see it's an important feature.
I think it should be done as one of the first Zend_Pdf improvements.
Cloning mechanism is not used because we need access to the source object (that's of course possible to do this, but it complicates memory management).
Exception is thrown if clone keyword is used.
Updating Fix Version to follow issue tracker conventions.

Hagan bill aims to boost construction, help restaurant owners expand
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 4:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 4:31 p.m.
U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., unvelied legislation Thursday that would boost new construction and improvements to restaurants by extending tax breaks, according to a release from her office.
Hagan, a primary sponsor of the bill, said it would make the 15-year tax depreciation period for leasehold improvements permanent.
Essentially, business owners can recoup the cost of improvements made to their business. The proposed measure would help the state's $15 billion restaurant industry and its 400,000 jobs, she said. The improvements will also provide needed jobs and dollars to the construction industry.
"It would also provide much-needed certainty that will allow business owners to plan for the future," Hagan said.
According to Hagan's release, Congress has temporarily extended the 15-year depreciation period since 1996. The current tax depreciation period is 39 years.
"As a restaurant owner, I make frequent improvements to keep up with normal wear and tear," said Frank Scibelli, CEO of FS Food Group in Charlotte in a statement. "A 39-year schedule makes no sense in today's business environment and I'm pleased Senator Hagan is working to make this needed change."

Comments about Ibanez SR705 5-String Electric Bass:
Awesome bass, plain and simple! Smooth, fast, THIN, and sturdy neck. Ive played other 5 stringers, and this one has a suprisingly low neck profile & low action. Most are chunky and uncomfortable for a smaller-handed bassist like myself, this is not the case with the SR705. Build Quality is TRIUMPHANT! Wide range of tonal qualitys from the PU's; and the mid-range switch is very handy if you play metal and hard rock. I only play through an Ampeg BA115 and it shatters walls on the stock settings. On a side note; this got shipped from Kansas - Boston, and it was in tune when it arrived. I was shocked. It might be slightly pricy, but you get more than your moneys-worth! Get this bass, do it, do it now!
Comments about Ibanez SR705 5-String Electric Bass:
Overall, an amazing instrument. One little thing with it is that it eats up 9 volts realativly quickly. Playing it 10 hours a week, a battery lasts about a month. Otherwise, it is a match made in heaven.
This bass has absolutely everything I ever looked for in a bass of any sort of bass. The onboard EQ is absolutely incredible. When they say bass boost/bass cut on the one knob, they really mean it!! Also every tool needed to adjust it except a philips screwdriver were in the box as well.
The bass came out of the box and it was ready to play once it was tuned. The bass is beautiful and durable. I have already traveled with it and it is rugged, but still sounds great.
It may seem expensive but it was worth every penny for how amazing of an intrument it turned out to be. That is really the only way i can put it i guess.

No. 19 Hoyas Sneak in Late Goal to Get by Princeton 3-2 in Men's Soccer
Box Score
WASHINGTON, D.C. (9/22/13) - A goal in the 81st minute was the difference maker as the Princeton men's soccer team fell 3-2 to No. 19 Georgetown on Sunday, Sept. 22 at Shaw Field.
The Tigers have done something no team has been able to do in more than 297 minutes, which is to score on the Hoyas. The defense had not allowed a goal since Sept. 8.
Sophomore Nico Hurtado scored his second goal of the season in the 24th minute to give Princeton the 1-0 lead, but it would proved to be short-lived as Georgetown scored just two minutes later.
Hurtado connected with senior defender Chris Benedict after a Princeton corner kick by sophomore Jack Hilger. Princeton was awarded the corner after a blocked shot by senior Patrick O'Neil.
Steve Neumann and Alex Muyl teamed up in the 26th minute to tie the game as Neumann fired to the far psot.
Branden Allen gave the Hoyas the lead in the 35th minute when he scored off a set piece about 20 yards out.
Sophomore Thomas Sanner scored his team-leading third goal of the year with help from O'Neil as the Tigers knotted the game at 2-2 in the 76th minute.
Tyler Rudy delivered the game winner in the 81st minute with a shot from the top of the 18-yard box.
Georgetown had an 10-8 edge in shots and a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks.
Hoyas keeper Tomas Gomez allowed two goals and did not make a save in the first 75 minutes before being replaced by Keon Parsa. Parsa made one save on one shot in the final 15 minutes. Princeton's Seth MacMillan made one saves on four shots.
Princeton falls to 1-4 on the season while Georgetown improves to 6-2.
The Tigers return home for a pair of games next weekend, first hosting Florida International on Friday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m., before an ESPNU game against FGCU on Sunday, Sept. 29 at 4 p.m.

A high-ranking Deer Valley Resort official said recently a location at or near the Old Town transit center could be considered as a spot for a gondola terminal linking the Main Street core with the resort's slopes.
Bob Wells, the vice president at Deer Valley, said in an interview such a location is seen as a potential alternative for the gondola terminal to the Brew Pub lot. The parking lot, situated toward the southern end of the Main Street commercial district, has appeared to be the focus for months.
Wells did not address the prospects of a terminal at or close to the transit center in any detail. His interview comments came after a Park City Planning Commission discussion that included talk of alternative transportation means.
Deer Valley is interested in linking the slopes to Main Street via a gondola, but details have not been finalized and the resort has not filed paperwork at City Hall for the project. Much of the talk thus far has focused on the Brew Pub lot as the location of the terminal on the Main Street side. There has been limited publicity about the Deer Valley-side terminal. It would be in upper Deer Valley, likely in Silver Lake Village.
Mick Savage, a member of the Planning Commission, said during the meeting he is interested in learning about gondola options. He mentioned Swede Alley as a location, saying that a gondola terminal could create an epicenter there.
Some wondered about a way to transport gondola passengers from a terminal at the Brew Pub lot toward the transit center, which anchors the area's bus system.
Deer Valley wants to build a gondola link to Main Street as another entry point to the slopes. It sees a slopes-to-shops gondola as something that will increase its competitiveness. Tourism boosters, meanwhile, see a gondola between Main Street and Deer Valley as something that will set Park City apart in the ski industry. The Park City Mountain Resort slopes are already connected to Main Street via the Town Lift.
The Planning Commission discussion was centered on the long-running rewrite of City Hall's General Plan, an overarching document that guides growth. One of the draft sections, dedicated to upper Deer Valley, includes a statement about connection to that part of the city, but the statement does not provide details.
"Improved connectivity to decrease vehicle miles traveled and connect this remote neighborhood to the rest of town would be a welcomed opportunity," the statement says, indicating that a connection could "synergize the two neighborhoods with increased sales and reservations."
The statement does not mention a gondola, but a picture accompanying the text about upper Deer Valley shows a gondola painted in a shade of green similar to Deer Valley's well-known green color.
Deer Valley has said a gondola could debut for the 2014-2015 ski season, at the earliest.

Council Member Darius Brown Urges His Constituents and Others to Earn Their GED NOW!
Posted on 02/19/2013 10:30 am
A Wilmington legislator says it's important for citizens to know that the General Educational Development (GED®) Test, which provides those who have not completed high school an opportunity to obtain a secondary credential, will undergo significant changes in 2014. That's why City Council Member Darius Brown (D-3rd District) is urging his constituents in Wilmington's Eastside communities, and others throughout Delaware who want to obtain a GED® Certificate, to do so this year instead of waiting until next year.
"The GED® Certificate has been a lifeline to jobs and careers for many people for many years," said Council Member Brown. "Many, if not most, of the people who enter GED® prep programs do so because they are lacking certain technical or computer-based skills and knowledge about basic subjects like math, science or English."
Brown and others at today's news conference said beginning in 2014 however, someone seeking a GED® credential will need computer-based skills, knowledge of an expanded curriculum and be required to write more narrative answers in addition to completing multiple choice questions. The cost of the test will increase to $120 for the entire battery in comparison to the current $75 fee. Enrollment in the state's adult basic education programs, which prepare adult learners for the GED® test, will continue to be free. The new GED Test will be aligned with the Common Core State Standards, which Delaware adopted so that every student in the public school K-12 system willgraduate ready for college and career.
"Students will be prepared to successfully plan and pursue an education and career path aligned to their personal goals, with the ability to adapt and innovate as demands change," Secretary of Education Mark Murphy said.
"While I am not opposed to updating the GED® Test process to give citizens a more competitive edge in the workplace," Council Member Brown continued, "I do know that there are people who will not be able to attain a GED® credential under the new format. So, my message is, that now is the time to enter the GED prep program instead of waiting until next year."
Maureen Whelan, director of adult and prison resources for the Delaware Department of Education, said about 13% of adult Delawareans do not have a GED® Certificate or a high school diploma making it very hard to get a job, enter training programs or apply to colleges.
According to experts, by 2018, 59% of all jobs in the state will require some post secondary education/training past a high school diploma. Now is the time to invest in an education if a person wants to opportunities in this job market.
Also present for today's announcement were Mary Kate McLaughlin, Chief of Staff to State Education Secretary Murphy, Lee Bunting, Senior Executive Director of the YMCA's Walnut Street Branch which is a GED® prep program site in Wilmington, Daphne Mathews, Administrator of the Christina School District's Adult Education Program, and Kathy Butler, Adult Education Coordinator for the New Castle County Vocational Technical School District.

Great for sofabed
By Suziesilverado
from Sarasota
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Biofresh Full-Size 2" Gel Memory Foam Topper with Nano-Tex Coolest Comfort Cover:
I bought this for my sofa bed. Even with an upgraded mattress, the springs were poking into my back. The topper worked wonders, although it is a bit soft (on the plus side, this allows the sofa bed to close). It comes with its own cover, which holds it together when the sofa bed is folded. I let my mom try it and ended up buying another one to soften up her extra firm mattress.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

sofa bed saver
Puchased this when my mother's sofa bed springs started digging into my back. It's a bit harder to close the sofabed with the topper on, but it still closes. The topper works great and makes an old sofa bed really comfie! It is a little soft, however, so I would get a higher density pad or thicker pad for a real bed.

ZF-12509: Zend_HTTP_Client can send a mal-formed GET request that causes PHP to hang for 10 seconds
At least some versions of PHP have a bug that causes scripts to hang for 10 seconds after calling file_get_contents('php://input') for a request with a content-length header value that exceeds the actual content length. (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64014) This bug is present in the most current PHP package on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS.
Using Zend_Http_Client, if setRawData() called on a request that is not a POST, PUT or DELETE request, a content-length header will be inserted by _prepareHeaders() but the content will not be included in the request, thus triggering a 10 second delay in the server processing the request.
This issue has been closed on Jira and moved to GitHub for issue tracking. To continue following the resolution of this issues, please visit: https://github.com/zendframework/zf1/issues/49

DeLand's Kemp says he is ready to blaze his own path in college
Published: Monday, January 21, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 21, 2013 at 11:52 p.m.
DELAND -- Jojo Kemp has been a busy man since the end of the 2012 prep football season.
Recruiting Radar
Jojo Kemp is not the only local
looking forward to National
Signing Day. Below is a look at
five of the area's top prospects
and where they are in the recruit
ing process as Feb. 6 draws near.
James Clark
COLLEGES: Florida, Northwest
ern, Nebraska, Clemson, Ohio
COMMENT: After narrowing his
list to four, Clark recently added
Ohio State. He is scheduled to
take an official visit to Clemson
this weekend and Florida next
weekend, although he said he may
change the Florida trip to an unof
ficial visit and use his official on
Ohio State. "I'm just excited,"
Clark said. "This has been a fun
process, but I just want to put on
my team's shirt and my team's
colors, sit back, relax and get
ready for the season."
Quinton Powell
Mainland, LB
COLLEGES: Southern Cal, Miami,
South Carolina, Oregon, Florida.
COMMENT: Powell said he will
visit Southern Cal this weekend,
South Carolina next weekend and
then Oregon. He said he may also
try to squeeze in a visit to Miami
before Signing Day. "It's a little bit
of both — exciting and stressful,"
Powell said. "I can't wait to experi
ence these different environments,
look at them and see what they
provide. It is exciting and I can't
wait to see what school I'm going
Davarez Bryant
COLLEGES: Louisville, Kentucky,
Purdue, Cincinnati, East Carolina,
COMMENT: Bryant said he has a visit with Louisville scheduled for
Feb. 1. "I love the offers from
Louisville and Kentucky," he said.
"Right now, I'd have to say those
are my two favorites."
Dustin Bowens
COLLEGES: Florida Atlantic
COMMENT: Bowens committed to FAU in November. "They told me that after they watched my film,
they thought I could come in and
help them in a short amount of
time," Bowens said at the time.
"They said with my build and ath
leticism, I could help quickly."
Dantwaun O'Neal
DeLand, WR
COLLEGES: Massachusetts, Tole
do, Georgia Tech
COMMENT: O'Neal is the area's wild card. According to recruiting
website rivals.com, he has 11
scholarship offers. He has not
tipped his hand to a favorite but
has taken official visits to UMass
and Toledo and said he enjoyed
The DeLand Bulldogs senior tailback said he has taken official visits to Nebraska, West Virginia, Kentucky and Pittsburgh. And when Kemp was not visiting schools, he said coaches were coming to him.
"A whole bunch of people have visited," Kemp said. "The head coach from Pittsburgh (Paul Chryst) and the coach (Desmond) Robinson, their running backs coach, have visited. West Virginia's coaching staff has been by here. The coach from South Florida (Willie Taggart) came by, and coach (Mark) Stoops from Kentucky."
In fact, Kemp said Stoops stopped by Wednesday night.
With less than a month to go before National Signing Day -- Feb. 6 -- coaches are making their final pushes to haul in commitments from top-flight recruits like Kemp, a News-Journal All-Area first-team selection who rushed for 1,464 yards and 23 touchdowns last season. Likewise, time is running short for Kemp, who said he has more than 30 offers, and his college-bound brethren to decide where they will play on the next level.
"I am very excited," Kemp said. "I am just ready to rock-n-roll, ready to find a place that fits me and put all of DeLand on my back."
At one point, Kemp believed that place would be South Florida -- the school he originally gave a verbal commitment to. But verbal commitments, like scholarship offers from colleges, are non-binding. The agreement only becomes binding on both ends when the athlete signs on National Signing Day or during the signing period that follows. Kemp said he would likely wait until National Signing Day before he makes his intentions known a second time.
"I am just taking my time to figure out what the right fit is," he said.
In the meantime, the 5-foot-10, 210-pounder said he will spend his afternoons working out and getting ready for the next level. He said he views himself as an all-purpose back -- a player with the ability to run and catch the ball out the backfield. He said the coaches from Pittsburgh have compared him to current Philadelphia Eagles tailback and former Pitt star LeSean McCoy.
Closer to home, he said he has paid attention to what former DeLand tailback Mike Gillislee did as a senior with the Florida Gators this year, rushing for 1,152 yards and 10 touchdowns.
But when it comes to college, Kemp said he does not want to be the next McCoy or follow in Gillislee's footsteps. Instead, he said he is looking forward to signing his letter of intent Feb. 6 and blazing his own path.
"I'm going to be the first Jojo Kemp," he said.

|Pacific rallies to top Idaho
MOSCOW - The Idaho volleyball team took two close sets to open the match, but Pacific rallied to win the final three to top the Vandals 3-2 in the season opener for both teams at the Idaho Nike Invitational in Memorial Gym Friday night.
Idaho won the first two sets 25-23 and 26-24 to pull ahead 2-0 on the Tigers, but Pacific won the final three 25-18, 25-17 and 15-9. The tournament concludes Saturday as Idaho hosts Montana at 12:30 p.m. and Washington State at 7 p.m.
Idaho sophomore middle blocker Alyssa Schultz led the way for the Vandals, finishing with 13 kills while hitting .478, and adding a team-high six blocks on the defensive side. Junior outside hitter Allison (Walker) Baker had a team-high 17 kills and 19 digs for the Vandals, but needed 64 attempts and hit .094, an area Idaho head coach Debbie Buchanan said the Vandals need to improve on.
"The thing that happened tonight is we really overloaded our outside," Buchanan said after the match. "We went to Allison and she had 64 attempts, and the next person had 42 and the next person had in the 20s. Everyone in the gym and on the other team knows where that ball is going to go so we've got to do a better job of our distribution and try to balance things out."
True freshman outside hitter Katelyn Peterson had 14 kills for Idaho and hit .310 with 42 attempts. Senior Janelle Chow had a career-high 26 digs, while freshman Jenna Ellis added 13 for Idaho. Senior Ryann Carter finished with 49 assists in the match, while setting the Vandals to a .168 hitting percentage. Junior Ashley Christman finished with eight kills for Idaho and senior Alex Sele added six.
The Vandals were down 20-17 as the first set was winding down, but went on a 4-0 run to pull ahead 21-20. The set was then tied at 21, 22 and 23 before Idaho got the final two points to win 25-23 and pull ahead 1-0. Idaho faced set-point twice in the second set, trailing 24-22 before it rallied for four straight points for a 26-24 win and a 2-0 match lead. But after that Pacific took over. The Tigers never trailed in the third set, and trailed only 1-0 in the fourth en route to 25-18 and 25-17 victories to tie the match. A 3-0 spurt by Pacific to break a 4-4 tie in the fifth set was all it needed to take the lead for good. Idaho came as close as 9-8, but could never even the score as the Tigers cruised to a 15-9 fifth-set win.
"We came out the first two games and I liked how our kids fought, we were behind but we battled through it," Buchanan said. "As we got through that match, after those first two games, we came out and we were a different team. We had too many errors from the service line, and just weren't taking care of the ball. That's something that we're definitely going to have to learn from. We have to finish from the beginning of the match till the very end."
Idaho had 59 kills and 27 errors on 191 attempts in the match to hit .168. Pacific hit .215 in the match with 63 kills and 25 errors on 177 attempts. Idaho had 55 assists, three aces, 15 service errors, 74 digs and 12.0 total blocks. Meanwhile, Pacific had 59 assists, six aces, eight service errors, 89 digs and 5.0 total blocks.

ZF-11726: Zend_Http_CookieJar::getAllCookies(Zend_Http_CookieJar::COOKIE_STRING_CONCAT) creates an invalid (RFC 6265) Cookie string
If the Zend_Http_CookieJar method 'getAllCookies()' with the 1 parameter set to Zend_Http_CookieJar::COOKIE_STRING_CONCAT, the returned string is invalid and not matches the RCF 6265 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265).
The returned string not contains a space between each cookie key-value element and the ending semicolon. The RCF 6265 describes the Cookie string as following (EBNF): ;SP (space) ;WSP (whitespace) ;CR (carriage return) ;CRLF (CR LF) ;LF (line feed) OWS = *( [ obs-fold ] WSP ); "optional" whitespace obs-fold = CRLF cookie-header = "Cookie:" OWS cookie-string OWS cookie-string = cookie-pair *( ";" SP cookie-pair ) cookie-pair = cookie-name "=" cookie-value ...
Expected result:
CookieJar with two cookies: 1. foo=bar; Path=/; Domain=example.com 2. acme=login; Path=/; Domain=example.com
(string) 'foobar=bar; acme=login'
Actual result:
(string) 'foobar=bar;acme=login;'
There are two problems here. First, the space between the two cookies is missing. Second, the last character cannot be a semicolon.
I created an patch to this issue: https://gist.github.com/1205916
Patch to solve the cookie problem
Yes, {{Zend_Http_CookieJar}} (and {{Zend_Http_Cookie}} as well) don't adhere exactly to the spec, but does it cause any real-world problems? I suspect that changing this behavior could qualify as a backwards-compatibility break (unlikely, IMHO).

Dear Adam
I had problem with a cPanel Server, with only allows RFC conform cookies. This harmed my application to fail and took me hours to figure out what caused the problem. I wasn't thinking a missing space makes the difference. Because I was such annoyed, I wrote this patch to avoid frustration in the future.
Dominic: Thank you for your feedback. I'm not entirely certain it's possible to directly alter the current behavior of {{Zend_Http_CookieJar}}, as there may be implementations which rely on the current (albeit non-standard) behavior. One thing we can investigate, though, is adding a "strict" mode so that the default behavior remains intact but one can switch on strict RFC6265 compatibility if necessary.

"It's not meant for blood and guts clean up but for psychological support. It's for rebuilding and healing, and to provide tools and mechanisms to band together or to seek out resources," said Kari Rasmussen, who is sponsoring the class. "Say a kid commits suicide at Park City High School. Obviously his family is impacted. But the students and teachers are impacted as well."
If such an event occurs, the school can call on certified volunteers to talk to individuals one-on-one or to hold community meetings to help people grieve and talk about the impacts and to offer support services.
The training is part of the National Organization for Victim Assistance (NOVA) program, which provides support and assistance to people involved in environmental or human-caused crisis situations.
Law enforcement and medical personnel attended to the Trolley Square shooting, "but there wasn't anyone to address the psychological impact and the collateral damage," Rasmussen said. "Sure you've got the parents grieving over that kid. But you've also got the Jones' sitting nearby with blood spatter on them."
The first Utah NOVA group went through the initial training last September.
"Our strategy is to get a second group of people together for the initial training, then get both groups together for the advanced certification course where they actually get certified," she said.
During the first initial training, the participants did a mock exercise where a drunk semi-truck driver ran into a fast food store in Kimball Junction, killing some people while maiming others. In the scenario, the driver's mother was a prominent member of the Summit County community.
"So there are ties in the community, and you learn to deal with people in those capacities," she said. "And you can appreciate how many lives that would impact: family after family after family."
Not only are professionals such as first responders and school counselors invited to take the course, but Rasmussen welcomes anyone from any background.
"I'm nobody," she said. "I'm an office manager for a medical practice. I'm not credentialed. I don't have mental health training. So anyone can do it. And we encourage anybody to, because it helps to have different people with different skill sets."
Those who volunteer may need to be ready to travel on short notice.
"Let's say there is a crisis in Louisiana and NOVA has a list of people that are certified," she said. "They would call me and ask if I can respond. They pay for airfare and lodging, and get me there as quickly as is appropriate. If it's something like Sept. 11, they rotate people until it calms down. It's elective but there's an expectation that when you sign up for this, you are reasonably available should they need you."
The organization is looking for participants from all parts of the state.
"If something happens in Ogden, it would be nice to have somebody from Ogden who knows what's going on, knows the community, the infrastructure and mental health. It can happen anywhere at any time," she said.
Rasmussen recommends the initial training, even if people don't intend to certify for NOVA.
She used the skills she gained while volunteering for Casting for Recovery, where she helped women suffering from breast cancer to learn how to fly fish.
"The class is a life changer," she said. "The information was so transferable. It helped me know how to interact with them, empathize with them and understand them. It helps just in what we do day in and day out. There's so much we can apply to our personal life. The skill set and resources you gain are so valuable."
The crisis response training class will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 20 to 22 at the Rocky Mountain Eye Center Board Room at 4400 South 700 East in Salt Lake City.

I am gutted. I bought this jacket and wore it once. I got so many compliments. The colour and gold print amazing. I hand washed it in cold water with Woolite and the colour ran unevenly leaving dark patches of red and transfers of the gold pattern in odd places. It is now unwearable. The care instructions should be changed to 'Dry clean only' and not hand wash.

From National Geographic:Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about this jacket. We regret that it did not meet your expectations. Our merchandise buyer wash-tested this jacket a couple of times in her washing machine with regular detergent, and there was no color running. However, because of your experience, we are changing the washing instructions to "dry-clean only" in the product description. We want you to be happy with your purchase. Our customer service representatives are always happy to help at email@example.com.

Rajasthani Block-Print Jacket
By Jewelery Maker
from Seattle, WA
I haven't had occasion to wear this yet, as it's light-weight, not something for winter even as a jacket. It is quite pretty, with the gold print on red. Don't expect a true red, though, as it leans toward orange-red. The cut is boxy, more so than the picture in the catalog. This is typical of quilted jackets, but this one is very stiff. It's dry-clean only because the gold color is "painted on," so you can't wash it to soften it. That may or may not feel like an issue to someone else. I have short arms, so had to turn up the cuffs. They are quilted the opposite way, so that works just fine. It's very pretty, and I know I'll get compliments on this when it warms up enough to wear it.

Managed care organization panel size and composition
A managed care organization (MCO) must have a panel of medical service providers of adequate size and variety to ensure enrolled workers receive quality medical care and services in a timely, effective, and convenient manner. The Workers' Compensation Division oversees the MCO's compliance in the areas of treatment access and provider coverage.
On a 24-hour basis, MCOs must provide enrolled workers with information regarding medical services available within the MCO, including the worker's right to receive emergency or urgent care. The MCO also must provide its regular working hours for enrolled workers needing help with choosing an attending physician.
Enrolled workers should be able to access medical providers, including attending physicians, within a reasonable distance from the worker's place of employment, considering the normal patterns of travel.
An MCO is required to have a provider panel in its GSA that includes at least three providers in each of the following eight categories: acupuncturist, chiropractor, dentist, medical doctor, naturopath, optometrist, osteopath, and podiatrist. This requirement must be met, unless the MCO shows evidence that there is not an adequate number of providers in a given category able or willing to become members of the MCO. If the MCO has fewer than three providers in a particular required category, the worker is permitted to treat with an off-panel provider in order to obtain the services of a provider in that particular category.
Although authorized nurse practitioners (ANPs) are not a required medical service provider type, an MCO must have three ANPs on its panel in a geographic service area. Otherwise, the worker may choose to treat with an off-panel authorized nurse practitioner, within the statutory limitations provided for treatment by an ANP.
