NAMPA, Idaho – In a dramatic finish, Idaho men's track and field won its first indoor Western Athletic Conference crown on Saturday in a meet that came down to the final event at Jackson Indoor Track at Nampa, Idaho.
Idaho's men held a one-point lead over Utah State going into the final event, which set up a winner-take-all situation in the men's 4x400m relay. Idaho's quartet of sophomore Andrew Bloom, senior Josh Dalton, junior Kyle Tylor and freshman Ben Ayesu-Attah led nearly from start to finish and clinched the title with a 3:14.62 to win.
"They just ran amazingly," Idaho head track and field coach Julie Taylor said. "If anyone was going to make a surge, they denied it – there was no way they weren't going to win that race."
The race was the culmination of a week that featured several big performances by Idaho's big names and several important jumps by its younger crew. In addition to its 4x400m win, the Vandal men won four more individual crowns on Saturday to bring their weekend total to eight at the meet.
Three of those eight titles came from senior Andrew Blaser, who capped off his Vandal career in premier fashion with the WAC Men's Field Performer of the Year and WAC High Point Award trophies. Blaser won the heptathlon on Friday at 5,324, then came back on Saturday with a win in the high jump at 6-4.25 (1.94m) and the 60m hurdles in a career-best 8.03.
"This entire weekend was all about winning a team title, and we did it," Blaser said after the meet. "To get any award at the end is awesome, but winning that team title was the most amazing way to go out my senior year."
Blaser also finished third in the long jump and tied for third in the pole vault at the meet for a total of 40 points.
"He was willing to do even more events if I had asked him to," Idaho director of track and field Wayne Phipps said. "To come in today after competing two long, hard days and win the high jump, then come back and get third in the vault, then win the hurdles in a PR time – you just can't write that script.
"There's no way we even have a shot to be close without him on our team."
The Vandal women came up just short in the team standings with a final score of 110 and a second-place finish behind Utah State, which scored 144. Vandal sophomore Hannah Kiser was named WAC Women's Track Performer of the Year after winning the mile in 4:45.67 and breaking the WAC Championship meet record with a 9:45.11 in the 3000m. She also ran the anchor leg of Idaho's distance medley that broke the meet record on Friday.
Kiser led a sweep of the women's 3000m, as she was followed in second by senior Erica Digby in a carer-best 9:45.46 and sophomore Alycia Butterworth in 9:48.58.
Junior Liga Velvere added a third women's title of the day for the Vandals in the 800m with a time of 2:09.05. She was followed immediately in the race by junior Lauren Schaffer, who ran a 2:10.12.
While it was a full team effort across the board, it was Idaho men's jumpers who powered the team to its crown. Vandal men won every jumping event during the week, starting with junior Jason Lorentz in the long jump on Friday. Senior Rendel Jones went 47-7 (14.50m) for the triple jump crown and senior Jeremy Klas cleared 17-4.5 (5.30m) to win his third-consecutive pole vault title.
"Coach Graham has done an amazing job with those guys," Phipps said. "He's obviously been great in his work with our vaulters over the years, but this week he had those guys rolling. Obviously, part of it is Andrew Blaser winning seemingly everything, but Rendel had a huge triple jump and Jason came back with a great long jump."
In all, Idaho's men earned 29 First-Team All-WAC and 18 Second-Team All-WAC honors over the weekend. The Vandal women added eight First-Team honors and 10 more Second-Team honors during the week.
Idaho's title is its first indoor track and field crown since winning the 1997 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) title and is the first WAC title by any Idaho men's team.

From the here and now, looking back on specific instances that became part of Park City's extended cultural folklore during the quite eccentric 1970s, it appears that many of the fog-shrouded events were shot utilizing sepia tones left over from some artsy Western flick. The entire decade exudes the smudged visual clarity of "Heaven's Gate."
The current case in point came about when I heard Leon Redbone would be in town this weekend for a couple of concerts at the Egyptian Theatre and my somewhat-cluttered memory began rolling film on when I first heard mention of his name. As is often the case, it took place at a bar.
I had met a girl from Austin who was in town acting as the point person for the Park City stop on an early '70s tour that John Prine and Ramblin' Jack Elliott were making through Western ski towns. She accepted my offer to use my car for the drive down to the Salt Lake Airport to pick them up before their show.
So, when the day arrived, we excitedly careened down Parley's Canyon to meet the plane. Grabbing our quarry off the small private jet they were using to thread from one mountain resort to the next, we, at their suggestion, adjourned to the airport bar for a "quick" beverage.
Prine and his manager, Al Bunetta, were all excited about coming into possession of a cassette recording made directly off the soundboard at the 1972 Mariposa Folk Festival in Toronto. The recording featured the entire performance of one Leon Redbone, they said - the same Leon Redbone that Bob Dylan had secretly been stalking and had covertly shown up at the festival to meet.
Talk about instant cachet. Then, as now, when Dylan goes out of his way to catch your shtick, it immediately raises, so to speak, your cultural visibility. When we finally left the airport bar and headed back up the hill for the concert, the recording of Redbone's festival set, suffice to say, owned the vehicle's cassette player.
It wasn't like everyone was listening attentively, however. With Ramblin' Jack at the wheel, Bunetta riding shotgun, and me in the rear between Prine and the Austin chick, the discourse, shall we say, seldom found itself wanting. But one could easily tell that this Leon Redbone cat, with his slouchy baritone vocal style, could perfectly resurrect early 20th-century flapper-pop, ragtime-romp, and jump-jazz with the best of them.
In a Rolling Stone interview some time later, Dylan mentioned that if he ever started his own record label, Redbone would be at the top of his list to record. That was followed by a performance on "Saturday Night Live" that caught the attention of print-media critics and, before long, there seemed to be very few vacancies on the bandwagon. Everyone dug the dude!
Then came his debut album, "On the Track," with songs and arrangements spreading across the spectrum from early New Orleans jazz to hillbilly blues, replete with a cool combo that could handle any instrumental chore he dreamed up. One of these players was the great jazz fiddler Joe Venuti, whom I had caught a bit earlier as a member of the Newport Jazz Festival All-Stars down at Kingsbury Hall.
I figured anybody who could channel such subtle harmonic grooves through the likes of Jimmie Rodgers, Jelly Roll Morton, Irving Berlin, and Fats Waller ("Ain't Misbehavin'" might well have been the gem of the LP) was on to something. Especially coming on the heels of the over-the-top musical excesses of the '60s. This guy knew hip from hype.
I became totally smitten and picked up his next two albums, "Double Time" and "Champagne Charlie," as soon as they were released. With KPCW getting on the air in July of 1980, ol' Leon soon homesteaded a niche on my Saturday morning folk music slot. His vinyl also got slapped down and spun around on various jazz, country, and blues shows I would come to program.
Although his early popularity probably never reached much above a large cult, he began showing up on local stages every so often to exuberant crowds that "got" what he was into. That oh-so-familiar cross-legged look with fedora and dark shades hovering above his moustache and goatee drew in the devoted time and time again.
I've been spinnin' some of my scratchy old Leon Redbone vinyl since I heard he would be comin' back to town this weekend and I must say it hasn't lost a bit of its charm. No doubt about it, the man remains a national treasure and is no doubt as quirky as ever. Let's just say Leon is important! He matters! Check him out this Friday and Saturday at the Egyptian Theatre on Main Street.

Princeton Brings Talented Youth, Championship Experience, Into 2013 Ivies
CHAMPIONSHIPS: LIVE RESULTS l LIVE VIDEO l SCHEDULE
TWITTER: PRINCETON SWIMMING & DIVING l PRINCETON ATHLETICS
There are seven teams in the Ivy League who will be plenty happy to see the Princeton Class of 2012 sitting in the stands this weekend. After four straight seasons of leading the Tigers to Ivy crowns, the best that group can do now is stand and cheer.
It's what their replacements can do, though, that will play a major factor in determining the 2013 Ivy League Championship.
The new Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center on the campus of Brown University will serve as the host for this weekend's championship meet, which will be held Thursday through Saturday. Preliminaries will begin at 11 am, and finals will start at 6 pm. All finals sessions will be streamed live for free.
While all eight teams will be looking for their best weekends of the season, the championship is likely going to come down to the dominant duo in Ivy League swimming and diving over the last two decades, Princeton and Harvard.
The Tigers have won four straight league titles, as well as six of the last seven, though Harvard has been the top team in the league so far this season. The Crimson is unbeaten in dual meets, including a 200-153 win over Princeton at H-Y-P, and has been ranked inside the Top 20 late in the season.
Princeton, on the other hand, was happy to see that calendar switch from February to March. After dropping duals to Harvard and Columbia and seeing a meet postponed due to snow, the Tigers now have their full attention on the upcoming championship meet. Every returning member of this program knows what it feels like to celebrate a title, and the upperclassmen have very fond memories of the thrilling 5.5-point victory in Harvard's Blodgett Pool two years ago.
As for the Princeton Class of 2016, they just want to earn that feeling for the first time this weekend. While it's unfair to expect them to immediately replace the highly decorated Class of 2012, they will need to have a major performance to help Princeton knock off this talented Harvard squad.
What should you expect from this weekend? Swings of momentum, like a pendulum. Back. Forth. Back. Forth.
Both Princeton and Harvard figure to have some events in which they make the huge move, and others they simply hope to neutralize their opponent's move. The team that accomplishes both best will leave with both a trophy and a celebratory leap into Brown's new pool.
The sprint free events have both Princeton and Harvard representatives coming in with several of the top times in the Ivy League. Harvard's Oliver Lee has the best 50 and 100 times so far, though Princeton's underclassman trio of Harrison Wagner, Brooks Powell and Jeremy Wong could all compete for big scores in both events.
Freshman Sandy Bole is another threat in the 100, though he comes in with the league's best time in the 200 (1:36.79).
As the distances grow, Princeton will look towards the duo of Paul Nolle and Zach Ridout to help offset a powerful Crimson group. Nolle swept all three (500, 1000 and the mile) last year, and he currently has the Ivy's fourth-best time in the mile (15:28.03). Ridout is actually one spot higher in the mile (15:26.73), and he is also sixth in the 1000.
One stroke where you will see both youth and experience for Princeton is the back. Senior Kaspar Raigla has been an 'A' finalist in both the 100 and 200 back every year at the Ivy Championships, and he won the 100 title during his sophomore season, when Princeton needed every point possible to hold off Harvard.
Freshman En-Wei Hu-Van Wright currently has the league's best time in the 100 (48.20) and the second-best time in the 200 (1:45.37). Sophomore Michael Strand has the second-fastest time in the 100 (48.55), while classmate Connor Maher has the fastest in the 200 (1:44.68). Maher is especially ready for the weekend after being forced to miss the 2012 Championships due to illness.
Sophomore Connor Jager also has Top 8 times in both the 100 and 200.
The breaststroke is another event that could see a cast of Princeton freshmen. Byron Sanborn has the second-fastest time in the 100 (54.24) and the third-fastest in the 200 (1:58.78), while Jack Pohlmann (55.09/1:58.88) is fourth in both events. Junior Daniel Hasler was an 'A' finalist in both events last year, while freshman Teo D'Alessandro is ranked sixth in the 100 (55.75).
Raigla bring the league's third-fastest time in the 100 fly (48.69), while Powell is fourth (48.71) and Strand is eighth (49.08). All three will compete for spots in the 'A' final, while freshman Marco Bove (1:47.68) and sophomore Oliver Bennett (1:48.14) figure to be strong contenders in the 200. Bennett finished as the Ivy League runner-up in the 200 last year.
Harvard's Chuck Katis and Dartmouth's Nejc Zupan are the favorites in the 200 IM, but Princeton could make that event a big one on the first day with multiple Ivy finalists. A quartet of freshmen (Bole, Sanborn, Hu-Van Wright and D'Alessandro) are all currently ranked third through sixth in the league right now, with all four posting times under 1:49.
Harvard has a similar edge in Top 8 swimmers in the 400 IM, though both Daniel Hasler and Caleb Tuten were Top 4 finishers in the event at the 2012 Ivy championships.
With a meet expected to be very close, diving could play a huge role. Senior Stevie Vines leads a strong group here; he placed second on both boards at the 2012 Championships, and he was named the 2011 Ivy League Championships Diver of the Meet.

The Dutch mezzo-soprano Christianne Stotijn and the Israeli-born, American pianist Inon Barnatan have lined up a marvellous programme of nocturnal music, a sensitive, subtle and poetic walk with artists whose well-rounded and contrasting oeuvres guarantee many a surprise. They will be in the company of Schubert and Berg, Mussorgsky and Britten, and also of Ravel whose enchanting Gaspard de la nuit lends its title to this recital.
In the recital you are performing with pianist Inon Barnatan, you combine the dark of the night with the naïve and the childlike.
I deliberately chose those extremes, which cover so many aspects of the night. We begin with three great Schubert lieder, Winterabend, Der Zwerg and Erlkönig, which we alternate with parts of Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit. In Winterabend it is as if the curtains of the night open. You experience nature as it can be in winter, harmonious and peaceful. There is the smell of winter, of wood burning in the fireplace. The song Der Zwerg deals with the secret relationship between a queen and a dwarf. The dwarf murders the queen in the night. When I first sang the song, I was struck by the way Schubert creates and describes the underlying layer. From the beginning to the end, you sense that a sinister and gruesome ritual is under way. The dwarf takes the queen off on a boat into the middle of a lake where he strangles her with a red silk cord, knowing that it means he will have to remain on the lake for eternity. While all that is happening, nature is described: you see a nebulous landscape, you see the night, you see the mist gradually enshroud the large lake, and in that mist you see a boat - of which we know nothing - slowly tie up. When the dwarf tells the queen it is her own fault, you feel a new story rise to the surface. That one song conceals so much. It is a sheer delight to sing. I love writing, and I simply adore fairytales and mythological stories. I find it fascinating; it's like being allowed to tell the audience the most wonderful stories.
Is there a fairytale that particularly appeals to you?
One really beautiful one is Hans Christian Andersen's Picture-Book without Pictures and it fits in very well with this programme. Andersen is in Italy and describes how every night the moon appears at his window and tells him what it has seen in its passage across the sky, sketching a universal picture of life. One night it tells of a child, another night of the poverty it witnessed, of two lovers, of death, a birth, an old man, love, war. The result is thirty-three exquisite paintings in which the moon reflects us living our lives. The recital is built up in a similar sort of way. Every song is a story in its own right, each one is unique and shows a different aspect of the night.
You alternate the Schubert lieder with parts of Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit, which is most unusual.
The inspirational pianist Inon Barnatan suggested we add Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit. We decided together to split it up, because the different pieces show the magical side of night, the mysterious, the surrealistic and also the threatening side, which are all very much part of the theme. Ondine, the first movement, tells of a water nymph who sings to seduce an observer and take him off to her kingdom in the depths of the sea. Le Gibet is a dark movement in which we are presented with a view of a gibbet and the lone corpse of a hanged man on the horizon as the death-knell tolls. Scarbo fits in very well with Der Zwerg and the Erlkönig, because it is about a devilish dwarf, half troll, half spirit. It is bathed in a very strange and mysterious light which is compatible with a song like the Erlkönig. After the interval I wanted to show a totally different side of the night, because for a child the night is different, something adults find hard to comprehend. I sing about the night seen through the eyes of a mother, as in Britten's Charm of Lullabies, and the night as envisioned by a child as in Mussorgsky's Nursery Songs. They are wonderful miniatures of a child's imagination.
What aspect of the night do Alban Berg's four lieder illustrate?
Night can also evoke a sense of fear and intimidation. Berg's lieder are surrealistic; you ask yourself if you are sleeping or dreaming. So many mysterious things happen at once in the Schubert lieder and Gaspard de la nuit that we begin to wonder if daily life is reality or dream. That question is answered in Berg's lieder. They are highly abstract and have a very interesting underlayer as in Schubert's lieder. Hebbel's Schlafen from Dem Schmerz sein Recht begins with a simple piano section and you feel yourself slowly sink into a deep sleep, shrouded by mist. It is not a dream and you don't want to be roused from it. The song ends with Daß ich, (…) nur noch tiefer mich verhülle, fester zu die Augen tu'!, the desire to sink even deeper into that very long, deep sleep, eyes closed tight. That's why it's nice to begin with Schubert's Winterabend, because it is as if the long winter sleep has begun, which then drifts through a dreamscape along the dark edges of consciousness. In Dem Schmerz sein Recht you actually feel the pain Berg depicts in the harmony and its rawness shows a different side of the story. This is music the audience may not understand immediately. Berg's lieder describe the area between life and death, when we find ourselves in a state of utter confusion and try to work out where we have come from. It is the confusion found in Buddhist writings, like Sogyal Rinpoche's magnificent Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, which describes the stage between life and death when you have just died and emerge into a new dimension of freedom.
So the contrast between Schubert's and Berg's lieder on the one hand, and those of Britten and Mussorgsky on the other, could hardly be greater!
It was important to me to show not only the dark and disconcerting sides but also the humour that night can bring. We thought it would be nice to conjure up a mythological atmosphere, which cannot exist without humour.
Do you prefer to give recitals rather than perform on the operatic stage?
I am a lied singer and only do maybe one opera a year. Putting together these sort of programmes, looking for themes is like a sketchbook of the imagination. The intimacy with the pianist is exciting too. It is a dream come true to be able to earn a living in this way. Though it is wonderful to sing the occasional opera, it is not the same thing as the lied. The lied is more direct and the singer is more exposed, more vulnerable, though you can be vulnerable and find intimacy in the opera too. Many operas have been written with that quality – those of Janáček, for example, which I love. Even in Wagner there are moments of vulnerability and intimacy. I like to sing roles which come close to the lied, like Pauline in Tchaikovsky's Pikovaya Dama. She sings a lied in the opera in which she has to accompany herself on the piano. And then there's the intimacy of Marguerite in the viola solo in La Damnation de Faust.
You also regularly give master-classes.
Firstly, I would never call them master-classes because I don't regard myself as a master. I prefer to call them workshops and see them as an exchange. Teaching is inspirational because you become more aware of how you experience something yourself. I can't impose anything on anyone and everyone has his own technical background, but I can help them tell the story. What I have noticed with these workshops is that very young people don't dare to tell the story. So I have to try and draw it out so that the students don't think that a lied is only intimate, but realize that it can be just as extreme and intense as an operatic role.

Men's Basketball: Reaching their ceiling at the right time
On paper, it looks like the Runnin Royals have their work cut out for them this season. While they do have to replace three of their top four scorers, Coach Kirby Dean feels he has a deeper basketball team this year. "Our overall numbers are down, but I think we'll actually play more guys," said Dean. "I think 11 or 12 of our guys are going to play minutes, so ...More

Inspired by the burgeoning dub step scene and dub visionaries such as On-U Sound's Adrian Sherwood and Mad Professor, the Easy Star All-Stars have compiled Dubber Side of the Moon. To be released this Tuesday, Dubber Side is a remix collection of the much lauded reggae smash Dub Side of The Moon. Each track features a unique dub producer exploring spaced-out reggae and bass-heavy remixes of the original Dub Side of the Moon, a reggae tribute to Pink Floyd's iconic Dark Side of the Moon.
The All-Stars' resident soundman The Alchemist's interpretation of "Money" is a bass bleeder from the start and is probably the track that fits easiest into the dub step category, but Kalbata's might be the most innovative mix on the album. Israeli born and signed to Soul Jazz Records, his mix merges the tech sound into dub-step. Boston's mysterious 10 Ft Ganja Plant also provides roots heavy remixes to the album.

Research Summary
Pulmonary embolism occurs when a clot blocks an artery that takes blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. The condition is potentially life threatening. Finding methods to identify patients at greatest risk of harm (i.e. risk stratifying) from pulmonary embolism is important. Identifying patients at risk for harm allows us to offer aggressive interventions that may save lives.
Therapeutic hypothermia is the intentional cooling of patients for the purpose of improving outcomes. It is used in a variety of illnesses (most notably after cardiac arrest). The procedure is complex and has potential complications. Research into methods of improving methodology and minimizing complications is vital. This research may improve outcomes for patients treated with this intervention.
ICU patients are among the sickest in the hospital. They often have a long and complex hospital course. Studying the process and outcomes of these patients provides incites into the care they receive. Outcomes of interest include mortality, morbidity, length of stay and infections. Once information is gathered regarding the process and outcomes, interventions can be studied with the aims of improving outcomes for ICU patients in general.
Extensive Research Description
- Site Primary Investigator for the multi-center SEATTLE II Trial (Use of ultrasound accelerated throbolysis in the management of major pulmonary embolus). This project seeks to determine the safety and efficacy of ultrasound accelerated fibrinolysis in patients with life threatening pulmonary embolism.
- Site Primary Investigatory for "Retrievable Inferior Vena Caval Filters in Acute Pulmonary Embolism" multicetenter trial. This proposed study aims to determine the utility of retrievable filters in patients with varying severities of pulmonary embolism.
- Site Primary Investigator for the Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis Performance Improvement Project (VTE-PPIP) sponsored by the American College of Chest Physicians. This multi-center quality improvement project is designed to test an educational tool developed by the ACCP to improve compliance with DVT prophylaxis.
- Member of MICU biorepository. I am particularly interested in banking samples of patients managed with therapeutic hypothermia in hopes of identifying markers for prognosis and defining parameters for the application of therapeutic hypothermia.

City chasing Welsh Silva?
- 08 March 2013 08:02
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
City are targeting 'the Welsh David Silva' in the summer transfer window, according to reports today.
The Blues are set to make an £8m bid for Crystal Palace midfielder Jonathan Williams – according to the Daily Mirror.
The paper's David McDonnell reports: "Liverpool and Swansea are also tracking the 19-year-old, but Premier League champions City are said to be in pole position to sign the Wales Under-21 starlet
"Palace boss Ian Holloway has compared diminutive midfielder Williams to City's current playmaker David Silva, in terms of his style of play.
"And Eastlands officials have made a preliminary enquiry about Williams, who was watched by Mancini's assistant David Platt a fortnight ago."
Meanwhile, ESPN concentrate on a potential exit from the Etihad Stadium – Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko.
The website reports: "Roberto Mancini has hinted Edin Dzeko may leave Manchester City in the summer, but has warned potential suitors that only offers above €20 million will be considered.
"Mancini's comments came in response to reports linking Dzeko with a return to the Bundesliga. While acknowledging the importance of the 26-year-old to his squad, Mancini stated he would be willing to listen to offers in the coming months.
"'Dzeko, for me, is a great player. In Italy he could score more than 20 goals a season but he would cost €20 million (£17 million), maybe more.'"
Remember, we will be the first to bring you any confirmed City transfer news on mcfc.co.uk!
Elsewhere, the media looks ahead to tomorrow's FA Cup clash with Barnsley at the Etihad Stadium.
Barnsley keeper Luke Steele is full of admiration for Joe Hart ahead of Saturday evening's game.
Mark Walker writes in the Independent: "Joe Hart is England's undisputed number one and will be for years to come, according to the goalkeeper plotting to outshine him this weekend in Manchester City's FA Cup clash with Barnsley at the Etihad Stadium.
"'For me he's the best, he's proved he's the best,' said Steele, for whom Manchester United paid £500,000 to Peterborough in 2002 when he was a teenager.
"'There's nobody better in the country for me in that position and he's showed that time and again.
"'Last year he won the Premier League title, so you can't get much better than that.'"
Should be a great game!

Interconnected risks and solutions for a planet under pressure
Transition to sustainability in the context of a green economy and institutional frameworks for sustainable development
Rio+20 Policy Brief produced by the scientific community to inform the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20). These briefs were commissioned by the international conference Planet Under Pressure: New Knowledge Towards Solutions (www.planetunderpressure2012.net). The conference is sponsored by the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme, DIVERSITAS, the International Human Dimensions Programme and the World Climate Research Programme. Email email@example.com for full document.
The 2012 United Nations Rio+20 Summit must be seen in the context of a significant expansion of the scientific knowledge base since the 1992 Rio Earth Summit.
We now know definitively that humans have become a prime driver of change at the planetary level, significantly altering Earth?s biological, chemical and physical processes. There is increasing evidence that humans are driving the Earth system towards dangerous thresholds or tipping points. The functioning of the Earth system as we know it is at risk. We know that solutions exist, but, as the international community contemplates action, the natural resource in shortest supply is time.
The urgent global risks and challenges facing all nations are interconnected: poverty alleviation; the financial crisis; economic development; political stability; pollution; food, water and energy security; health; wellbeing; climate change; ocean acidification; and loss of biodiversity, to name just some. Understanding this interconnectedness is crucial for tackling these challenges and improving the wellbeing of all societies.
This policy brief outlines key interconnections at a global level and makes six recommendations for lowering the risk of catastrophic change to the Earth system, achieving sustainable prosperity and wellbeing for all, and protecting natural capital (land, water, soil, biodiversity and ecosystem services). These actions underpin the shift to a green economy and the transformation of the world?s institutional frameworks for sustainable development.
Summary of key points and policy recommendations from the Planet Under Pressure policy brief on interconnected risks and solution.
1 Reduce risk. Concerted, global and immediate action is needed to reduce the risk of fundamentally disrupting the stability of the Earth system, with consequences for global economic and political systems. The immediate priority is to stabilize the global climate at a temperature of no more than 2�C above pre-industrial levels. We must reduce the carbon intensity of the global economy, undertake a massive decarbonisation of the energy sector and effectively manage Earth?s carbon and radiant energy budgets. Other immediate challenges include: massive biodiversity loss, ocean acidification and disruption of the nitrogen cycle, all of which need coordinated action.
2 Transform global governance to address the interconnected nature of today?s challenges. While our global societal systems are increasingly interconnected, our governance systems often act independently and are slow to respond. Nations must work together to devise effective ways of protecting such globally common resources as the atmosphere, oceans, freshwater, biodiversity, the ice sheets and natural cycles for the benefit of all societies, present and future.
3 Engender strong leadership. Leadership is a powerful catalyst for action. This includes:
Broaden accountability and empowerment from global to local levels to improve all people?s access to and participation in international decision making.
Establish an international high-level consultative body on global sustainability. Such a body would include a chief scientific advisor or ?planetary ecologist? and broad representation from the UN General Assembly, UN system, G20, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organization, business and civil society, as well as science and technology organizations. Part of its role would be to review regular global sustainability assessments.
Strengthen and upgrade the Commission on Sustainable Development; upgrade the UN Environment Programme to agency status and strengthen its links to sustainable development policy and the global economic system.
4 Halt unsustainable production and consumption and value natural capital. Economic systems ignore global-scale costs and benefits to humanity (e.g. the cost of disrupting the climate system). The world?s biggest market failure is to exclude the value of the stable functioning of the Earth system. Nations must adopt new measures of well-being that go beyond financial metrics to include quality of life. The successor to the Millennium Development Goals must have global sustainability at its foundation.
5 Develop global knowledge systems for interconnected challenges. This includes:
Deploy modern communications Infrastructure across all nations. Communications Infrastructure has become as important to quality of life and prosperity as our transport, water and power infrastructures.
Launch a major international research initiative for global sustainability. This collaborative endeavour will challenge the research, policy and business communities to provide the resources, knowledge and tools required to manage global risks and navigate an increasingly interconnected world.
Bring cohesion to the international science?policy interface. Establish an Intergovernmental Panel on Global Sustainability to ensure scientific coherence. This would produce a regular ?State of the Planet? assessment that includes socio-economic dimensions and brings together and expands upon existing assessments, strengthening links between science and policy.
Develop an international approach for tackling emerging technologies eg. synthetic biology, geoengineering and nanotechnology.
Ensure international treaties are dynamic enough to respond to new information effectively.
Invest in tertiary education in developing countries. Education builds endogenous capacity to address global challenges, improves well-being and generates economic growth.
Create a global integrated monitoring system for global sustainability.
6 Build resilience and prepare for unavoidable changes. The great acceleration in human activity, seen largely since the 1950s, has committed the Earth system to substantial change, some of which is not reversible on human timescales. All nations must be ready to adapt to inevitable environmental and social changes.

In response to my post Monday on Adam Lee's petition against the harassment of prominent women in the atheist movement (see The Name for What's Happening), someone posted a comment that demonstrates the very existence and nature of the problem. Indeed, almost so perfectly I'd think a feminist invented it as an ideal hypothetical example; but no, this is an actual post by an actual antifeminist atheist who actually believes (or wants you to believe) everything he wrote. I responded there, but it's all so worth reading I'm reproducing it here, in it's own blog post. Because I want everyone to be aware that this shit is going on.
The commenter (posting as "submariner") wrote:
"In other words, the Lee petition exists because women in this movement are being digitally harassed beyond the pale (and not, say, blacks or homeopathy opponents); and feminism is being openly mocked…"
PZ Meyers forbid Feminism be MOCKED, oh noes!, and OPENLY as well!!.(better if they mock in secret).
You have feminists like Feminist Frequency claiming that words to Christmas songs are sexist, that depictions of video game NPC's are sexist.( talk about 1st world problems) Feminists have elevated internet trolling to the level of harassment ( although not legally declared such) , swooned about people wearing a t-shirt that made it clear the wearer did not want to be identified with one of their groups, and another who gave a creationist style science denialism "lecture" with no citations, quote mines, and strawman arguments.
Richard, the feminists and A+ ers are doing fine mocking themselves. Most rational people can see this for what it is: a political movement. One that refuses to look skeptically at itself.
In case you were wondering, I won't be signing the petition.
To which I replied:
Ladies and gentlemen, Exhibit A: an antifeminist has unabashedly shown up here. Take note! Study this specimen.
Those songs are sexist–or rather "creepy and/or sexist," as submariner left out the disjunctive; because antifeminists tend to be logic challenged, and often do things like this: distort what was actually said to make it sound worse. Submariner is attempting an argument form called reductio ad absurdum, yet could only do it by missing or misrepresenting what was actually said (thus, he had to lie to make the facts absurd, in order to argue from their thus-fabricated absurdity–clever, eh?–or does he delusionally think he has accurately represented the facts in this matter? Neither is encouraging). That's SOP for antifeminists in the atheist movement.
The issue of video games is another antifeminist distortion: the study of NPC's ("nonplayer characters") in video games that submariner refers to hasn't even been completed yet (nor is it solely about NPC's), and yet the mere suggestion that there might be some disturbing issues of sexism worth studying in video games produced a vast and ruthless campaign of sexist and misogynistic harassment of the researcher (documented here and here and here and here). This is precisely the kind of thing I'm talking about (although in this case it's the gaming community, not the atheism movement specifically; but our women are receiving nearly the same treatment from atheists).
Here, our antifeminist specimen exhibits the delusional belief that there aren't any issues of sexism worth studying in video games. Because delusionally not believing there is any sexism is practically a defining attribute of modern sexists. Which makes this a nearly ideal red flag: anyone who denies there is any sexism in America to study is probably a sexist; or else someone who just bought a computer and has only just recently discovered the internet.
Our specimen also conveniently "leaves out" the fact that the way this researcher (Anita Sarkeesian) was treated merely for wanting to research the question exhaustively and conclusively proves there is a disgusting and shocking degree of sexism in the gaming community. Thus, he cites this as an example of something outrageous feminists do, while leaving out the fact that the story he is referring to entails conclusive evidence that what this feminist wanted to investigate was not outrageous but evidently fully justified. Deleting facts that refute them, in the very examples they try to cite in their favor, is another example of antifeminist SOP.
The other two examples this specimen of antifeminism then cites are similarly erroneous: in both cases he has deleted all the key facts that eliminate their use as reductio arguments, he misrepresents what actually happened, and then fallaciously infers from these thus-fabricated non-examples that feminism deserves to be opposed, and therefore (we're to infer) feminist women deserve to be ruthlessly digitally harassed. [if you don't already know the true story behind the two other examples he mentions, see here and here]
Of course, do note that this antifeminist doesn't explicitly say that–that's what he wants you to conclude. But he knows he would look like a complete and total asshat if he actually said that out loud. But that that is indeed what he is arguing is unmistakable from the context and his conclusion: he is commenting on a post asking people to sign a petition protesting the digital harassment of women in the atheist movement; he states some arguments, then concludes that he won't sign the petition. The fabrications that precede that declaration are even explicitly represented as his reasons. Thus, he does not think there is anything wrong with digitally harassing women, and he wants you to agree with him.
I know, I know. You are thinking no one could possibly be that fucking bonkers, or that heartless, or that much of an ass. Or even if someone could be, surely they wouldn't come out and publicly prove it by actually saying these things here (here of all places–as if he thought I didn't know the truth of these facts and wouldn't point you to the links–links he was careful not to include, because he knows if you actually looked into these things he would be exposed). But alas, here he is. Proof positive of sexism and antifeminism in the atheist movement–and of how heartless and irrational they are–and either how delusional or dishonest they are, depending on how you explain all his factual omissions and distortions; either way, as is typically the case, these people are wholly untrustworthy sources if you want to have any account of reality.
Submariner of course blasted the post with a bunch of other comments. But I saw no need to examine his nonsense further. I let it all through moderation so everyone could see what I mean.
Submariner is a perfect example of why you need to sign Adam Lee's petition. Women don't need apologists for harassment like submariner. They need a show of support, they need to hear that you won't defend harassment, that you find it as disgusting and unacceptable as I do and would rather it stop. Please stand up for what's right here. Go sign his petition!

Quorn Meat Substitute Deceptively Labeled, CSPI Tells FDA
Theres a Fungus Among Us And Its Not a Mushroom
WASHINGTON - The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) today urged the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to stop deceptive labeling of a new, fungus-based meat substitute being marketed by Marlow Foods, owned by Montagu Private Equity, under the brand name Quorn. CSPI also questioned the adequacy of the products testing, which did not include tests for allergenicity.
Despite label claims that the key ingredient in Quorn is mushroom in origin, Quorn products contains no mushrooms. Rather, those products mycoprotein is actually a fungus known as Fusarium venenatum, and is grown in large fermentation vats. Although that fungus first discovered in a British soil sample only a few decades ago comes from nature, says CSPI, it is not what the average consumer expects in a food claiming to be made from natural ingredients. And, its certainly no mushroom.
Consumers arent surprised to find mushrooms in a meat substitute, CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson said. But they would be surprised to find that a fungus one never before in the American food supply has quietly found its way into grocery stores, without the kind of government scrutiny a new food deserves. Despite the deceptive labeling, Quorns mycoprotein has nothing to do with mushrooms. It is a fungus and should be labeled as such.
Quorns labels describe the key ingredient as an unassuming member of the mushroom family, which we ferment as yogurt. Although both mycoprotein and yogurt are the result of a fermentation process, the products are entirely dissimilar, according to CSPIs complaint. With mycoprotein, the fermentation process isnt just modifying a main ingredient, like milk in the case of yogurt, fermentation actually is the means of creating the ingredient in Quorn. If the FDA allows the obscure term mycoprotein to be used in Quorns ingredient listings, says CSPI, packages should be required to disclose clearly the products fungal origins.
Another concern raised by CSPI is that some of the novel proteins in the mycoprotein might cause allergic reactions. With genetically engineered foods, such as StarLink corn, even minute amounts of individual possibly allergenic proteins have kept products off the market. Quorns mycoprotein, by contrast, is not genetically engineered, but would introduce thousands of new proteins into the food supply and they would be consumed in far larger amounts than the novel proteins in genetically engineered foods. Even though the mycoprotein has not caused a large number of allergic reactions in European consumers, CSPI says the FDA should require Quorns parent company, Montagu Private Equity, to test whether any of the new proteins share the properties of known allergens. Companies typically perform such tests on the new proteins in their genetically engineered products.
CSPI applauded Quorns creators for trying to market a nutritious meat substitute with a low impact on the environment, but insists that it be labeled honestly and studied more thoroughly before Quorns mycoprotein can be considered Generally Recognized As Safe. And, for a product positioned as a healthful alternative to meat, some Quorn offerings, like a Fettuccini Alfredo version that packs a half a days worth of saturated fat into a single serving, fall even further short of the claims on the label.
The manufacturer of these products clearly has a marketing problem, but that is no excuse to deceive consumers, Jacobson wrote.
Marlow Foods had approximately $150 million in European sales of Quorn products in
2001, and the product is just arriving in supermarkets and health food stores in the U.S.

Miami Dolphins QB Chad Henne reacts to criticism, Orton chant
Dolphins quarterback Chad Henne spoke with the media today. He addressed many topics, including the criticism he has received early this preseason, as well as that "we want Orton" chant that sounded through Sun Life Stadium earlier this week.
Here's Henne, in his own words:
-on Dolphins coach Tony Sparano sticking up for him after the "we want Orton" chant:
"Sure. Yeah, I mean as a player you definitely appreciate your coach coming out, standing up for you – but that's how this team works. He's got our back and we've got his back. And you know, it goes [for] every position out there. I've got Yeremiah's back, he's got my back. So this is a full-blown team and we definitely appreciate our coach standing up for us because we stand up for him."
-on whether he heard the chant:
"Sure. I mean – absolutely you hear it. But you take it in, take it out. You're worried about practice, trying to improve and get better out there. But the biggest thing is, you know, if you're a Miami Dolphin fan, hopefully you're cheering for the Miami Dolphins and the players out there rather than somebody that's not [on the team]."
-on his reaction to hearing it:
"Yeah, it's definitely tough. But as a team, we stick together and the guys just like Tony did, there's guys in the locker room that have my back and believe that I'm one of the leaders on the offense. So I appreciate what goes on in the locker room and out there on the field, we're just trying to get better each and every day. No matter what the situation, we're going to hear some of that noise when we go to away stadiums. So maybe that's a little pep talk for us and we can get over it."
-on Brandon Marshall, seeing a difference in him this preseason:
"Absolutely, you know, Brandon's been great out there – working really hard out there. Just being a team player out there. That's all we ask for everybody to be – just be a team player, be accountable to yourself and he's done that, done a great job and everybody has a lot of respect for what he's done and come out to what he has to say."
-on whether he feels he's definitive starting QB, or whether he feels he's competing with Matt Moore:
"No, I mean, I'm competing every day. Rather it's Matt or Tom or Pat Devlin. I'm competing out there. Nobody's made the mark yet so I'm just out there to show what I have and just improve on everything, keep learning the playbook and just make some plays out there."
-on what he feels like he needs to work on:
"Well, first of all, just learning this offense. Try to have a 100 percent mentality that I know the ins and outs of this offense. And then, I mean, this is a new start. Obviously, there's things to improve out there. But each and every year I felt I've improved just a little bit and you know, this is a bigger and better year for us and we're very excited. With coach Daboll in there, we're [using an] attack mentality as an offense. And I think that's going to help a lot of us out."
-on the constant critiquing and how he remains composed:
"Well I mean, obviously I'm a human being, so don't say it doesn't affect me. It does affect me. But you wear it on your sleeve as a person and you know, for me, I don't let a lot of things show. But deep down inside it does hurt but hey – I'm here for the team, I'm here to make myself better, help the team be a better team and the biggest thing for us is, you know, we were 7-9 last year. But that's last year. It's 0-0 this year and we're out here to improve, get to the playoffs and make things happen in our division."
-on whether the criticism motivates him:
"Sure, absolutely. I mean, the criticism is always going to be out there, especially at my position. I mean, I'm the most critiqued person – the head coach and the quarterback are the most critiqued people. And for a quarterback, you're out there, if you're winning games, things are going well. If not, you're losing games, then everything is pointed toward you. So it's part of the position and obviously it is a little bit of motivation out there for you. But our team I think has a mentality right now that we're as a team, we're one and we just want to be the best we can play."
So there you have it. We thank Chad for taking the time with the assembled media mob today.

This weekend, at long last, the second season of Treme kicks off on HBO, and with our SXSW Day Event still fresh in our minds, we couldn't be more excited.
Created by HBO's The Wire co-creators David Simon and Eric Overmyer, the 11-episode second season of the Emmy®-nominated drama series is set in New Orleans 2006, more than a year since Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. The national spotlight on the Crescent City has dimmed, and residents are finding it harder than ever to rebuild their lives. Some have become expatriates in distant cities. The insurance checks that never arrived for homeowners were followed by the bureaucratic nightmare that was the Road Home program, and a land-grab is underway as developers and disaster capitalists press their advantage. And yet the culture of New Orleans somehow endures. After the jump check out some of the musical talent slated to appear in season two. [Read more...]

ZF-7173: Zend_Validate_EmailAddress::INVALID_FORMAT Constant is not mentioned in the API nor the Reference Guide
This constant should be listed along with the others in both these pages, otherwise one has to dig into the code to figure out how to translate or set a message for the basic format validation.
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/… http://framework.zend.com/apidoc/core/…
The reason this new constant hasn't been documented yet is because it's not in the 1.8 branch, and will be available when 1.9 is released (I think).

PG&E is here to help you through all of the steps for installing and connecting a renewable energy system for your business.
Your contractor will handle most of the steps necessary to install your solar or renewable energy system and connect it to PG&E's electric grid. However, as a property owner, it is wise for you to play an active role. Understanding the key steps will help you set expectations and communicate more effectively with your contractor.
Key Roles: You
Start with PG&E's Business Energy Checkup by logging in to My Energy. This energy efficiency audit provides key information about your current home energy usage and will help you make choices that reduce your overall electricity and water consumption.
Key Roles: Your Contractor
Once you and your contractor identify the appropriate renewable energy system to match your business's needs, the contractor will fill out an interconnection application to connect your system to PG&E's electric grid. Your contractor will process the paperwork and you must sign the interconnection agreement.
Key Roles: Your Contractor
Your contractor ensures the delivery and complete installation of the energy system at your property.
Key Roles: Your Contractor, City/County Inspectors
Your renewable energy system must pass city or county inspections for safety and code compliance in order to obtain a final building permit. Your contractor should make the arrangements with the building officials to complete the inspections.
Key Roles: Your Contractor and PG&E
Your contractor submits all required paperwork to PG&E, including the interconnection application filled out early in the process, a line diagram of the system and a copy of the final building permit. Once approved, PG&E will upgrade your meter and send you official written permission to operate.

What is Manifold Greatness?
The title Manifold Greatness, referring to the multifaceted or "manifold" influence of this landmark book, is taken from the 1611 Bible's dedication to King James, which begins, "Great and manifold were the blessings" when God made James the king of England.
Printed in 1611, the King James Bible became the most influential English translation of the Bible and one of the most widely read books in the world. This exhibit takes a look at the dramatic history of the King James Bible, what we know about the scholars who translated it, and how it has continued to influence literature, culture, and society for over 400 years – from the words of Handel's Messiah to Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech.
The Manifold Greatness traveling exhibit is hosted at the Hope College Van Wylen Library with programming sponsored by the Van Wylen Library, Western Theological Seminary Beardslee Library and the Herrick District Library.

Exibit Photos
Manifold Greatness: The Creation and Afterlife of the King James Bible, a traveling exhibition for libraries, was organized by the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, DC, and the American Library Association Public Programs Office. It is based on an exhibition of the same name developed by the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford, with assistance from the Harry Ransom Center of the University of Texas, to mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible.
The traveling exhibition was made possible by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This program is funded in part by Michigan Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

At the end of the 1960s, traditional R&B was moving in different directions: toward Motown and its pop-ready "Sound of Young America," and the grittier Southern soul of Stax/Volt and Fame Recording Studio. Etta James sided with the latter. Born January 25, 1938, as Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles, California, she had moved from a gospel choir to a girl trio to the Johnny Otis Revue by the time she had her first R&B hit at 17. "I might have been a little church girl singing gospel, but I loved all the music – soaked it up like a sponge," said James. "I remember Charles Brown, who killed me with 'Drifting Blues.' I'd hear that good time music floating out onto the street, whether it was some smooth blues like T-Bone Walker or sophisticated jazz….[I'd] poke my head into a joint, amazed by the men in their stingy-brim hats and them gators on their feet, chicks poured into skintight dresses, laughing and flirting and carrying on."
In the spring of 1961, "At Last" became a Number Two R&B hit and remains among Etta James' best–known recordings.
Composed by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the 1941 movie musical Orchestra Wives, "At Last" was recorded in October 1960 by James after she and boyfriend/producer Harvey Fuqua, in a succession of hotel room rehearsals, had sung their way through a songbook of popular standards.
"I discovered I already knew most of the melodies," the singer later recalled. "These were songs, you see, that my mother loved, songs I associated with Billie Holiday, songs that took me back to my childhood…I found I could sing them without losing my bluesy or churchy feeling."
James' belting voice and knowing delivery meshed so perfectly with Fame Recording Studio's pumping horns and razor-sharp rhythm section that "Tell Mama," one of the first tracks they recorded in 1967, revived her career. It established James' style and tone for the next decade. All totaled, James launched 30 singles onto the R&B singles chart and placed a respectable nine of them in the pop Top 40. Etta James was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.

See John Adams come to life. Dynamic artwork and lively narrative creates a warm, personable portrait of the stubborn man from Braintree, Massachusetts, whose passion for liberty spurred him onto extraordinary roles as a Founding Father, first Vice President, and second President of the United States. Through Adams's eyes, kids witness the tension-enflamed streets of Boston, the bickering Continental Congress, the complexities of waging the War for Independence, and the challenges of governing a new nation. Vivid quotes from both John and Abigail Adams. Provides great primary source material for school reports.

The release of Ubuntu 13.04 is less than a week away, bringing with it some refinements to the Unity interface that users either love or hate. But Ubuntu with Unity is far from the only choice for Linux lovers or those looking to avoid Windows and OS X.
In addition to the many Linux distributions such as Fedora, Debian, or OpenSuse, there is a thriving open source community maintaining desktop operating systems based on Ubuntu code but with different user interfaces. These often have whimsical names like "Kubuntu" and "Xubuntu." While you can download the standard version of Ubuntu and apply a different user interface to it, most of these alternative distros are built with a non-Unity interface in mind from the start.
Just for fun, we're going to take a look at the different "untus" users can choose from. In particular, we'll focus on the "recognized flavors" that are part of the Ubuntu project—you can find links to more information on each of these and downloads on the Ubuntu wiki.
Jon Brodkin
Canonical spurned the latest versions of GNOME when it created the Unity desktop. But there's a distro called Ubuntu GNOME for those who want Ubuntu repositories and the GNOME desktop (also seen in the likes of Fedora). Here you see the installation process.

Canonical spurned the latest versions of GNOME when it created the Unity desktop. But there's a distro called Ubuntu GNOME for those who want Ubuntu repositories and the GNOME desktop (also seen in the likes of Fedora). Here you see the installation process.
Jon Brodkin
Ubuntu GNOME has a similar set of pre-installed applications as Ubuntu proper, such as Firefox, LibreOffice, and Shotwell.
Ubuntu Studio is geared toward artists, with pre-installed apps for audio, graphics, video, photography, and publishing. Here you see Inkscape, an open source graphics editor. Ubuntu Studio uses Xfce instead of Unity as its default desktop.
Blender, a 3D content creation application for Ubuntu Studio and other distros, lets users create 3D models, animate scenes, and use a built-in game engine.
While Unity and GNOME have moved onto interfaces reminiscent of touchscreen operating systems, Kubuntu's KDE provides a more traditional desktop. Kubuntu might feel more familiar to Windows users than some other Ubuntu-based distros because of the placement of menus on the bottom task bar.
Jon Brodkin
Xubuntu relies on the Xfce user interface, which is less graphically intensive than Unity and may perform better on older hardware.
Jon Brodkin
While Unity provides quick access to applications with a Launcher Bar on the left side of the screen, Xubuntu places the launcher on the bottom, similar to the dock in Mac computers.
Here's one you might not have heard of—Mythbuntu combines Ubuntu, Xfce, and the MythTV platform to create a home theater PC operating system. Productivity applications like LibreOffice and the Evolution e-mail client are stripped out, leaving media-centric programs. Mythbuntu isn't as heavily publicized by Canonical as Ubuntu TV, a separate media center product using the Unity interface.
Mythbuntu's control center lets users configure the system. Options include installing different desktops, configuring MySQL, installing proprietary drivers and codecs, and setting up remote controls.
Jon Brodkin
Based on the LXDE desktop environment, Lubuntu is another distro that aims to run well on old hardware. Even just 256MB of RAM can be enough to run Lubuntu.
Similar to Kubuntu, Lubuntu's traditional desktop interface might be comforting to people moving to Linux from Windows.
Jon Brodkin
The Edubuntu project is run by self-described "students, teachers, parents, and hackers" who aim to bring Ubuntu into schools and homes. Edubuntu comes with a bunch of educational tools, such as games designed to train your memory and logic.
Jon Brodkin
Unlike other alternative desktops, Edubuntu ships with a Unity interface identical to the one in the default version of Ubuntu.
Lee Hutchinson
So far we've looked at distributions that are part of the official Ubuntu project. But when it comes to alternative OSes based on Ubuntu code, there is perhaps none more popular than Linux Mint, which is made by an independent organization. Based on Debian and Ubuntu, Mint focuses on providing an extremely user-friendly interface.

ZF-9813: Italian translation for Zend_Validate messages
I couldn't find any info or guidelines for this, but I saw someone else sent their own translations to the issue tracker.
So here is an Italian translation I made for my personal purposes of the Zend_Validate messages.
The actual guideline is that files, which are out of date or have more than 10% of untranslated/out of date translations will be moved from core to incubator for the next release.
So is this the right place to submit it?
Added with r22172
Note that there is one failure within this resource file which should be solved
I updated the translation to match EN-Revision 22668, which is the latest I could find on standard/trunk/resources/languages/en/Zend_Validate.php (I hope it is the right one to target ZF 1.11). Can you reopen the bug so I will post it? Or should I better create a clone?
Also, I am a native italian speaker, I hope the failure you mentioned has been solved (I noticed there was an untranslated string), if it isn't I will try to.

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Jason Gesser threw for 246 yards and three touchdowns and Dave Minnich rushed for a touchdown as Washington State beat Idaho, 36-7, Thursday night.
Washington State (1-0), the Pacific-10 Conference visitor in Martin Stadium under a stadium-sharing agreement, rolled to a 20-0 halftime lead and avoided a third consecutive loss to the Vandals (0-1) of the Sun Belt Conference.
Gesser, who completed 15 of 26 attempts before leaving early in the fourth quarter, hit Nakoa McElrath on scoring passes of 5 and 35 yards in the third quarter. McElrath caught 10 passes for 141 yards, both career highs.
Trandon Harvey caught an 18-yard scoring pass from Gesser with three minutes left in the first half to put the Cougars up 20-0. Minnich, who rushed 23 times for 127 yards, scored earlier on a slashing 30 yard run.
The Cougars' defense frustrated Idaho quarterback John Welsh, who completed 12 of 26 attempts for 66 yards.
Idaho was held scoreless until 3:11 remained in the third period, when Chris Lacy caught a 4-yard pass from Welsh.
WSU's Drew Dunning hit field goals of 26, 27 and 32 yards.
|Washington State wide receiver Mike Bush dives and makes a catch thrown by Jason Gesser while Idaho's Antjuan Tolbert attempts to block the pass during the third quarter of Thursday's game.

Discover More Ideas You'll Need
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kale Very colorful! These were just what I wanted in a colorful placemat. The only thing I ended up not liking were the tassels. They took away from the look and I removed them. May 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by LEdwards Placemats that POP! These are made of a very nice fabric. Sturdy, but still soft and flexible material. The colors are very vibrant and will blend well with many solid colors. The stitching is nicely done. I did have to cut a loose thread, but it didn't leave a gap in the stitching. Make sure to measure the placement of your placemats against the table. I'm the silly goose that bought a new table, but didn't think about the size of the mats before purchasing. I ended up not liking the tassels and cut them off. Took away a touch of the unique bit, however, the placemat works just as well standalone. October 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mightygeo they look very nice in person My husband is not one to notice our linens, but he even he noticed these place mats. they looks very sophisticated and make a statement on our dinning room table. I would recommend them, especially for the price. September 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tammy Gorgeous-but fades quick & poms fall off LOVE the look of this design! Just wish that maybe the surface was sealed or even had some sort of lamination to preserve the color. It fades horribly after the first wash:( The poms fall off almost instantly, so I would recommend reinforcing them before use. But because of its beauty, I would actually buy more:) December 13, 2011
