I have seen this on the SO on many times. Whenever a question is vague and the question is asking some magical answer somebody or the other leaves a comment saying answer is 42. Even a book I am reading right now uses '42' as the number whenever it wants demonstrate some basic concept using an integer. So is there any history behind it or it is just a coincidence?
locked by Yannis♦ Nov 4 '12 at 17:01
This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
It's the answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything from Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
As Fishtoaster mentioned, the number 42 has gained pop-culture status via Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but its true origins are from Lewis Carroll (from whom Adams gained occasional inspiration).

Clayton Elementary School was evacuated this afternoon after a report of an ammonia leak at nearby Hanover Foods. Students were taken to a nearby middle school, and then were allowed to return after the situation was declared safe by local fire companies and the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC).
The DNREC emergency response team from the was called to investigate the ammonia release at Hanover Foods, according to a press release from DNREC spokesman Michael Globetti.
Clayton Elementary was evacuated temporarily as a precaution, with students and staff moved to a nearby middle school. They were allowed to return to the elementary school later in the afternoon after it had been thoroughly ventilated under the direction of the DNREC emergency response team and local fire companies responding to the incident.
The ammonia was released at Hanover Foods through an old pipe that was being replaced on the plant's roof, Globetti said. Oil contaminated with ammonia sprayed onto the roof, and the ammonia rapidly evaporated and was carried by the wind in the direction of the elementary school.
Local fire companies from Clayton and Smyrna responded to the incident and teamed with school staff to ensure the students' safety, then worked with Hanover Foods to stop the ammonia leak. The DNREC emergency response team then worked with fire company personnel to ensure public safety for the first-responders and students.
The DNREC emergency response team next moved to the plant roof to mitigate the ammonia release and assess the contaminated oil.
Both fire companies and the DNREC emergency response team declared the incident under control in mid-afternoon, Globetti said.
The students and staff returned to the school.
DNREC is conducting an investigation and DNREC's accidental release program is reviewing the incident.

The cat died suddenly after biting two members of its household, and the two people exposed are now being treated.
Dr. Peter Sylvester, director of the Bay County Health Department, has some advice.
"We are experiencing higher than expected numbers of positive rabid animals this year and we are continually urging the public to use caution when encountering wild animals."
Dr. Sylvester went on to say, " This event stresses the necessity to reinforce the need to be sure all pets are vaccinated. Please check with you Vet to make sure your pets' vaccinations are current."
Rabies has been detected in several raccoons earlier this year in the Callaway area. But, the latest incident involving a household cat is the first rabies case in more than ten years in a domesticated animal locally.
Dr. Sylvester did not indicate in what section of Bay County the rabid cat case developed. He did not release the names of the two victims who had been bitten.

Sustainable Transport in the Cities of the Future - Workshop
19 Jun 2012 - 19 Jun 2012Background
Rua da Assembl�ia, 10, Centro, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
Rua da Assembl�ia, 10, Centro, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
The importance of sustainable transportation in cities cannot be overstated. It is the backbone of any successful city and vital to building cities which are clean, equitable, accessible and economically viable. If Rio +20 does not make sustainable transportation a priority, it will have missed possibly the most important issue facing urban development today.
The workshop will provide an expert view from leading practitioners in the field of sustainable mass transit and provide a broad discussion with the various stakeholders on sustainable transport in the context of Rio+20. With this workshop we hope to be able to offer an attractive vision of future urban mobility.
The event will feature:
? An overview from the UN on the latest developments in the build up to Rio+20 and the role that transport can play in delivering the goals of the conference.
? High level panel discussion with representatives from leading practitioners on the future of urban mobility, based on high quality sustainable mass transit.
? Practical examples of sustainable mobility projects and lessons learned from mass transit operators with a particular focus on delivering sustainable urban mobility projects in Latin America.
Just as importantly, there will also be a space for you to share your views and comments with high level officials, delegates and sustainable transport operators in the context of Rio+20.
Refreshments and a light lunch will be served.

Helmstetter, Smith Help Princeton Past Marist On Banner Afternoon
Vanessa Smith Postgame Interview
Her team had given up 22 points in a little more than eight minutes and her opponent was shooting better than 70% from the field, and so Courtney Banghart decided to reduce coaching to a fairly simple three-word exhortation.
"We need stops," Princeton's women's basketball coach said to no one and everyone.
And no one and everyone listened.
By the time she called Amanda Berntsen "annoying" late in the second half, Princeton's defense had completely turned this game around. The result was an 81-58 win for the Tigers over Marist in the home opener for the four-time defending Ivy League champion.
Kristen Helmstetter had a game-best 18 points and freshman Vanessa Smith scored all 11 of her points in crucial first-half minutes, but this one was won with defense.
While it's nice to put up 81 points, it's not practical for Princeton to rely on shooting 53% from the field and making 12 three-pointers, like the Tigers did Sunday afternoon. No, if this team wants to join the four before it and have its own banner-raising ceremony - like the one that preceded the game against Marist - then it's going to have become the defensive terror that those four were.
After perennial NCAA participant Marist scored those 22 points to build a 22-18 lead after eight minutes - making eight of its first 11 shots along the way - Princeton tightened its grip.
Marist woud score 36 points in the final 32 minutes of the game. The Red Foxes shot 20 for 54 for the game, which means that they were 12 for 43 (27.9%) after their sizzling start.
Smith, a freshman from Twinsburg, Ohio, who scored seven points in Princeton's opener against Rutgers, came off the bench with the score 22-18 Marist and immediately energized her team, scoring on two offensive rebounds and then tracking down her own missed foul shot for another put back.
She also added another layup and then stepped out to knock down a three-pointer to make it 39-29 Tigers, making it a 10-point game for the first time with 1:40 left in the half.
It was 41-32 at the break, and that's when Helmstetter took over, scoring 13 of her 18 and making all three of her threes in the second half.
As for Berntsen, she was one of the army of players that Banghart put into the game who turned up the defensive pressure. It was subtle sometimes, like the possession where Berntsen "annoyed" a right-handed point guard to her left, didn't let her come back to her strong hand, forced her to give up the ball and saw that possession end in a missed jump shot rather that something crisper.
Princeton gobbled up that miss, like it did so many others, as the Tigers outrebounded Marist 49-23.
In all five Princeton players were in double figures, as Michelle Miller had 11 and Blake Dietrick and Alex Wheatley had 10 each to join Helmstetter and Smith.
Princeton honored the five members of its Class of 2013 at halftime, as Ford Family Director of Athletics Gary Walters presented game jerseys to Amanda Roman (manager), Meg Bowen, Kate Miller, Lauren Polansky and Niveen Rasheed, who flew in from playing professionally in Greece to be there.
Princeton is at Rider Tuesday night.

ZF-2117: Code Generation Tool
Provide a command line tool for performing commonly needed operations such as creating a skeleton MVC app or running unit tests.
There is more information about this tool somewhere ? It's link with the project primitus ?
I work for Ausy (Zend partner Belgium and Luxemburg) and we have the same project.
This is the main issue for the first version of the main Zend Framework project's code generation facilities. There is no more information as a proposal has yet to be put together, and the only link with the Primitus project is that it is one of the inspirations for this tool. Stay tuned for a proposal, which will be linked to from this issue.
Reassigning to Ralph as he's taken over development of this component.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Looks like this issue was resolved by implementing Zend_CodeGenerator unless I am missing something.

Windows contains mini-programs called gadgets, which offer information at a glance and provide easy access to frequently used tools. For example, you can use gadgets to display a picture slide show or view continuously updated headlines.
Some of the gadgets that come with Windows 7 are Calendar, Clock, Weather, Feed Headlines, Slide Show, and Picture Puzzle.
Desktop gadgets can keep information and tools readily available for you to use. For example, you can display news headlines right next to your open programs. This way, if you want to keep track of what's happening in the news while you work, you don't have to stop what you're doing to switch to a news website.
You can use the Feed Headlines gadget to show the latest news headlines from sources you choose.
You don't have to stop working on your document, because the headlines are always visible. If you see a headline that interests you, you can click that headline, and your web browser will open directly to the story.
To understand how to use gadgets, let's explore three gadgets: the Clock, Slide Show, and Feed Headlines.
When you right-click the Clock, you'll see a list of things you can do with the gadget, including closing the Clock, keeping it on top of your open windows, and changing the Clock's options (such as its name, time zone, and appearance).
If you point to the Clock gadget, a Close button and an Options button will appear near its upper-right corner.
Next, try resting the pointer on the Slide Show gadget, which displays a continuous slide show of pictures on your computer.
Right-clicking Slide Show and clicking Options allows you to choose which pictures appear in your slide show, control the speed at which your slide show plays, and change the transition effect between pictures. You can also right-click Slide Show and point to Size to change the size of the gadget.
When you point to Slide Show, the Close, Size, and Options buttons will appear near the upper-right corner of the gadget.
Right-click Slide Show and click Options.
In the Folder list, select the location of the pictures you want to display and click OK.
By default, Slide Show displays items in the Sample Pictures folder.
In the Show each picture list, select the number of seconds to show each picture.
In the Transition between pictures list, select the transition you want and click OK.
Feed Headlines can display frequently updated headlines from a website that supplies feeds, also known as RSS feeds, XML feeds, syndicated content, or web feeds. Websites often use feeds to distribute news and blogs. To receive feeds, you need an Internet connection. By default, Feed Headlines won't display any headlines. To start displaying a small set of preselected headlines, click View headlines.
After you click View headlines, you can right-click Feed Headlines and click Options to choose from a list of available feeds. You can add to the list by choosing your own feeds from the web.
Right-click Feed Headlines and click Options.
In the Display this feed list, click the feed you want to display and click OK.
To scroll through the headlines, click the arrows on the lower edge of the Feed Headlines gadget.
Before a gadget can be added, it must be installed on your computer. To see which gadgets are installed on your computer, do the following:
Right-click the desktop and click Gadgets.
Click the scroll buttons to see all the gadgets.
To see information about a gadget, click the gadget, and then click Show details.
The Sticky Notes program and the Sticky Notes gadget that were available in previous versions of Windows have been replaced in Windows 7. If you used either Sticky Notes or the Sticky Notes gadget in a previous version of Windows and have upgraded your computer, any notes that you had (either ink or text) should be available in the new version of Sticky Notes.
You can add any gadget that's installed on your computer to the desktop. If you want, you can add multiple instances of a gadget. For example, if you are keeping track of time in two time zones, you can add two instances of the Clock gadget and set the time of each accordingly.
Double-click a gadget to add it.
Right-click the gadget, and then click Close Gadget.
You can drag a gadget to a new position anywhere on the desktop.

When Gemma Atwal first heard about slum kid turned running phenom Budhia Singh, she felt an immediate connection. Like Singh, she was born into extreme poverty in India, to a mother who couldn't care for her. But from there, the stories diverge. Adopted and taken to England, Atwal says she grew up "in privilege," whereas Singh's life was Dickensian. His mother sold him, at age three, to a street peddler for $10. He was rescued by Biranchi Das, a judo coach who later discovered Singh's talent for running. Before the child was five, Das had entered him in 48 marathons.
Atwal chronicles the journey of Singh and Das in Marathon Boy, a documentary debuting on HBO November 3. "It's a film about desperate poverty and a boy who has few options," says Atwal. Singh seems to adapt to his new life, but in one devastating scene, Atwal turns off her camera as he struggles to complete a 42-mile run.
The film raises questions about fame, exploitation and what Atwal calls "the slippery nature of truth. I wanted to tell the story of two people in an 'unimportant' part of the world," she says, "who I came to care for deeply."

This starts by putting a stake in the ground for a brand's aspiration beyond their current category; we then define the Brand Conviction which becomes a North Star for all future activities—from how clients behave internally to what they communicate externally—accompanied with a clear pathway to get there from here.
The integrated brand-building campaign "Never TOO" continues to celebrate KOHLER as when first introduced by the brand and DDB Chicago in 2015.
Aimed at today's style makers and design enthusiasts, KOHLER stands apart as a beacon of self-expression in a category that has, in some ways, become too functional. The "Never TOO" campaign continues to live up to the beauty of Kohler's products and design innovations.
The latest addition to the "Never TOO" campaign is "Never TOO Next," featuring a TV spot set in the not too distance future which is anything but your average toilet commercial. It portrays tech-on-tech love when robots attending a sophisticated housewarming party end up convening in the restroom as they discover and wow over the multi-functional Veil Intelligent Toilet by KOHLER. The robots are relieved to find that in the difficult-to-navigate world of human customs, the high-tech Veil Intelligent toilet is not only a marvel of engineering, but also a true kindred spirit. Additional executions will include print, digital/rich media, and an online interactive product experience starring a robot guide who takes viewers through Veil Intelligent's technological advancements and features.

53 days later, woman reunites with dog
Published: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 4:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 at 4:12 p.m.
SOUTHMONT | Here's a story with a happy ending.
Kimberly Watts went 53 days searching for her golden retriever/shepherd mix until he was located about 2.5 miles away from her parents' home in Watership Downs on High Rock Lake. Harley, the dog, had escaped April 28 and was located Thursday after Watts did practically everything possible to find her dog.
Among the measures Watts took to locate the 4 1/2-year-old dog were creating a Facebook page, passing out more than 1,000 fliers and posting 50 signs in and around High Rock Lake. Several people coached her in efforts to rescue the dog, and she set up feeding stations wherever there had been a sighting of Harley.
"I was so happy," Watts said of the dog being located.
Watts, 26, adopted Harley when he was a puppy from the Humane Society in Charlotte. Her original intentions were to foster him for two weeks, but she grew fond of the dog and decided to keep him.
"He has been with me ever since," she said. "He has been an indoor dog."
The search for the dog began when Harley slipped through a garage door along with another family dog. That dog returned but Harley didn't.
"We think he got into a blind panic with the storm and ran," she said.
Harley had a microchip in him, which would allow whoever found him to take him to a veterinarian, and they could scan it to locate his owner. However, he had no tag on him, and Watts wants to send the message out for people to put tags on their dogs.
"A lot of people wanted to help," Watts said, referring to the search for Harley.
Penny Camp, who lives off of Riverview Road, located Harley and called Watts. The dog had lost nearly 10 pounds and had several ticks on him. Watts was offering a $250 reward, but Camp declined to accept it.
"It was relief," Watts' boyfriend, Mac Jackson, said of Harley being located. "… It was over. (Kimberly) could finally relax."
Watts wasn't able to go where Harley was located, but her mother, Ann Watts, and Donna Jones retrieved the dog.
"My mom came" to pick up Harley, she said. "When he saw my mom, he howled, danced and jumped. He was so happy."
Jones, who lives off Riverwood Road, helped with the efforts to locate Harley. She spotted him on Gray Road roughly two weeks after he was reported being lost and immediately contacted Kimberly Watts. She had been involved in several occasions of rescuing dogs and tried to keep Watts from worrying about Harley starving to death.
"I told her that is the least of her worries," Jones said. "He'll find food."

Who Wants One?
Latest News
Who Wants One?Posted byMay 11, 2011Filed under:1672
My name is Mimi and my favorite Lupe song is "Kick Push" because thats when I first became a big fan of Lupe and because hes repping Chicago hard and Im from Chicago he deserves everything that he has and will get in the future!
Lupe i Love all your songs but by far my favorite is All black everything because what they did just wasnt right. To say that someone belonged to you disgusts me. I forgive them but still. And racism is still out there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvsfvQT21Oo What you said there makes sense. Thats why i like all black everything. It means something to me.
My favorite song of yours is Beautiful Lasers (2ways) because it exposes the truth about our government and informs listeners that we have to have faith in god and break the cycle/system were under. I think its amazing song something new and fresh. I think your a modern day Jimi Hendrix keep doing what your doing Lupe Fiasco you're truly inspiring people like me to have hope, believe there is a god, and life does have meaning behind all the corrupt things that are happening.
Paris, Tokyo the song that introduced me to you and showed me not all hip-hop is about money and women
That's tough... But I gotta say Fireman off of Enemy of the State: A Love Story. The word play and flow is dope! And it sounds like your having a good time flowing and rhyming as you're recording. Overall, just a great song. But just one of many greats you've produced over the years. Keep staying true. Peace.
My favorite Lupe Fiasco song is Words I Never Said! This is my favorite song since it speaks the truth about our government. The lyrics have true meaning behind them. The video is also amazing! It shows how the government treats their ppl. WordsI Never Said is a inspirational song. It is making people open their eyes about the government
favorite lupe song is Instrumental....the meaning of the song is amazing, no other rapper can make songs to compare to music like that. with all the lupe songs i have, that would have to be my favorite.
very hard to say... but im gonna have to go with Little Weapon because of it's exposing the way children in some countries are forced or manipulated to be soldiers... plus it has a siiickkk flow also
All Black Everything is my favorite song because it makes me think that I can achieve anything if I put my mind to it.
Has to be Beautiful Lasers because it helped me threw a stage where everything in my life was going wrong and it was nice and relieving to see my fav artist had gone threw those things and isn't scared of talking about it. It helped alot and is my all time fav song.
oh man, thats tough but id have to say Hip hop saved my life because it just has a very awesome story and the song just flows perfectly.
I'm going old school my favorite Lupe song is the instrumental because I like it's meaning of how we over use media like the radio and T.V. also it was the first Lupe Song I ever heard way back in 06
A lot of great songs and very hard to choose, so I decided to pick this song "Paris,Tokyo" dedicated to my GF and waiting to take her all over the world when things become clearer for both our careers. But playing on my playlist right now is "Go to Sleep" =)
"Fighters" Best song ever cause it put's you in that thinking mode you know it's so real lyrical and when i hear it im glad we have someone like lupe someone with sense that see's the same problems that I see in this world :)
"The Instrumental" definitely. The song is so raw, the lyrics are so real and the message is so powerful.
I don't actually have a single favourite as I just find it hard to pick just one but if I had to it would definately be "Hurt Me Soul" off of Food and Liquor. The story of the song itself was killer and I loved the uniquely styled chorus. It just felt so real.
I agree with most people here. I don't really have a favorite. Lupe's my favorite artist because he keeps exceeding my expectations. I'll just say "He Say She Say" because personally it feels so real.
'We On" was and still is HOT FIRE. The way Lu and Gemini were complimenting each other on that track was ILL. "THUNDER CATS HOOO!"
I would have to be "All Black Everything" because he speaks of a world where there was never any slavery in America. That the black man established everything and things were perfect. A world where we don't have any racism and everyone is equal and the world is right because us African Americans are in charge. he speaks of a world that i wish truly existed. the perfect world for blacks.
Its has to be Streets on Fire, because it talks about the fact that people today conform to the pressures of society and if you don't conform you become an outcast. Also how the freedoms is slowly being taken away from the people without the people knowing it. This song promotes the idea that independent thought and the best freedom.
My all-time favorite Lupe Fiasco song is "Muhammad (pbuh) Walk" because it was the truth. & the lyrics were beautiful.
I want it, I want it, I WANT IT! I'll be going to see Lupe Fiasco for the fifth time this year, when he comes to Detroit in June, and this will be the perfect sign of my support! L.A.S.E.R.S.!!!!!!!!
My favourite is I gotcha and Words i never said I loved these two I gotcha because it was just a song you could just relax and nod your head to. Words i never said because its so dope and it inspires you to do great things and really make a difference in the world. I cant just pick two
my favorite lupe song is army girl... bc there arent enough songs like it. plus he was lyrically cold on it. shoulda been on LASERS imo
I'd have to say my favorite Lupe song is "Daydreamin'" Its a "lupe lyrical" song that just shows lupe's skills of intertwining different musical cultures. The personification of a project building robot is genius and his description, incredible. Its such a chill song...Yet, The violin beginning causes goosebumps every time I listen, especially the 3 times I've listen to it live. Lupe concerts = best concerts always!

ZF-3199: Zend_Http_Response::fromString($response->asString()) breaks for chunked/compressed responses
Hi there,
It would be nice if the fromString() and asString() methods were symmetrical, so that a response serialized a string could be expected to unserialize correctly (and that the string-representation of the response itself is valid).
The problem is simply that asString() returns the decoded body - however the headers may still indicate content chunking or compression - so that when the text is fed back to fromString(), it expects the body to be chunked or compressed.
The fix is:
--- Response.php (revision 3800)
+++ Response.php (working copy)
@@ -394,7 +394,7 @@
public function asString($br = "\n")
- return $this->getHeadersAsString(true, $br) . $br . $this->getBody();
+ return $this->getHeadersAsString(true, $br) . $br . $this->getRawBody();
Would be nice if there was another method that did this, or an optional argument, if you don't want to change asString() for backwards compat reasons.
Thanks, Keith
Solved in SVN r11175

Great to hear. Hope the team chemistry is there. We need Ejim and Niang to be good floor generals.
I like hearing these tid bits. Want to hear more about Nader.
Great, now you've gone and done it. Getting my expectations all high -- Kool aid high!
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr

I thought for sure he would have negative things to say.
I was impressed with Nader as well. Wish he could play this year. Wonder why Chris didn't ask Georges about Kane? He's obviously a newcomer, too.

Well to be honest, I was going to. I didn't get to the JUCO's either because you can hear towards the tail end of the interview the PA announcer say that the previous game had ended. Well I interviewed Georges before his game and he still needed to change and warm up so I ended it then. Didn't want him to be late.
I am always amazed to hear him talk, and realize how young he is. Crazy
I too was pleasantly surprised with Nader's build, Chris. And I was thinking the other day he has (in the short clips I've watched) some resemblance to Royce and his game...
he was listed at 225 on NIU's website last season. He definitely looks bigger than 225 - I'd say 235. I don't imagine he's going to get pushed around. With he and Georges' continued training, I expect they'll be a crazy tough, skilled post-combo in '14-'15. I'm sure CFH is already drawing up ways to attack with the two.
Instead of the M&M boys, we'll have the N&N boys..Niang/Nader. That's sweeter than candy....
I like the team spirit that Niang always seems to express. Seems like he has his head on straight, enjoys the game, and can honestly praise his teammates. On and off the floor, he makes others better, and thus makes the team better. He could go down in ISU history as a true fan favorite.

Fourth-Seeded Heavyweights Believe Increased Work Will Pay Off At Sprints
MICHAEL EVANS on TIGERCAST l SPRINTS HISTORY l EARC SEEDING POLL
Entering his fourth season as head coach, Greg Hughes believed there was more that his program could achieve. He asked more of everybody, starting with himself, and he couldn't be any happier that he did.
"For me, [assistant coach] Spencer Washburn and the rest of the coaches, we made a conscious effort this year to make some changes," Hughes said. "Both as a staff and the guys on the team, we had goals we really wanted to strive for. We knew what we had been doing, and we wanted to do more.
"The guys embraced that this year, but it was hard," Hughes said. "We're seeing the benefits of that. It's been a big challenge, but it's been a lot of fun."
It could become even more fun this Sunday. After all, while the Cup races over the last two weeks have been meaningful, the ultimate goal always remains Eastern Sprints.
The Princeton varsity eight earned the fourth seed for Sprints, held Sunday on Lake Quinsigamond, and will begin the chase for its sixth Ivy League championship during its 11:36 am heat. The varsity eight will be one of four competing for Princeton gold on Sunday morning, and two will enter as the top-seeded boats in the field.
For senior captain Michael Evans, it's both a last and best chance to bring Princeton to the top of the league.
"I feel a lot more optimistic with this boat than I did last year," he said. "Last year, we lost races to Brown and Harvard by eight seconds, which is a huge margin to make up. This year, I think we lost by three seconds, which is a more attainable margin.
"Training and practice has been going really well," Evans added. "I think confidence is high going into Sprints for everybody in the boat."
The Princeton varsity eight is 7-2 on the season, including a 4-2 mark against Ivy teams. The lone losses came to the last two EARC/Ivy champions, including top-seeded Harvard. Northeastern grabbed the No. 2 seed, while Brown is the third seed and joins Princeton in the third heat. Two will advance to the 5:00 grand final, meaning both Princeton and Brown will be looking to hold off the likes of Penn, Navy, George Washington and Holy Cross.
The two that advance will be looking to do something that nobody else in the East has done this year: Beat Harvard.
"Harvard has proven themselves," Hughes said. "They kept their bow in front in every race, which in our league is an achievement. But I think there is some speed out there. I think it will be exciting racing this weekend."
There is a healthy mix of both youth and experience in the eight, but Hughes isn't concerned about either the younger guys feeling overwhelmed or the older ones succumbing to the pressure.
"We're going out to get sheer enjoyment of the racing, to be in the biggest races and just race it," he said. "That's what the program is about, and the culture is about.
"There are definitely some younger guys, but no matter who you are, you know what Sprints are," he added. "Guys are in the varsity because they are the guys who made it. You have a task at hand. Focus on the race, and focus on execution."
The Princeton 2V will be looking for its first EARC Trophy since 1999, when the Tigers completed a string of four straight JV titles. The Tigers hadn't won a 2V title before the 1996-99 run, and they haven't won since, but they'll enter Sunday as the top seed after a 10-0 season.
The gold there won't come easily, though. Princeton earned wins over Harvard, Cornell and Brown by about three seconds apiece at the 2V level. Princeton will race in the 10:36 heat against Cornell, Wisconsin, Penn, Dartmouth and MIT.
The Princeton 3V went 8-1 on the season, though its only loss came to Harvard's freshman eight. The Tiger 3V is a top seed and will race at 8:48 against Cornell, Wisconsin, Dartmouth and Holy Cross.
The Princeton 4V (5-2) will race in a six-boat grand final. The Tigers will be in lane 2 and will compete against (1) Navy, (3) Brown, (4) Cornell, (5) Harvard and (6) Holy Cross.

Bill Wright at home in McCornick, Utah
In his first 16 years in the Legislature, Wright didn't have to think much about immigration. "It just wasn't an issue," he says. Wright served in the House from 1989 to 2000 and then the Senate for one term before returning full time to dairy farming in 2005, when he moved his farm from Elberta on the southern tip of Utah Lake to McCornick, a Millard County ghost town that existed for all of a decade before the Great Depression.
Wright departed the capitol with no intention to return. "I'm the kind of guy that can come home and exempt myself from the politics," he says. But in the rhetoric surrounding the immigration debate, he discerned an indifference toward what he saw as common sense.
Wright doesn't have a lot of employees on his farm—six or seven each year—but he knew how much his neighbors and constituents rely on immigrant labor. He doesn't believe anyone who says U.S. citizens would do these jobs. That's not to mention the families being torn apart by the nation's blundering immigration enforcement efforts.
Apathy to their plight, Wright felt, was a violation of his very faith. "I remember thinking, 'If I were up there, I could fix this,'" he says.
In 2009, he would get that chance.
When Wright returned to the capitol, it was hardly with a mandate. Before coalescing around the farmer, fellow Republicans needed 16 ballots and five hours of debate during a special caucus meeting held to replace Rep. Bradley Winn, who had resigned his seat to take a job at the University of Utah. Wright laid low in his first session back in the Legislature, -reserving numbers for two bills he never filled with any text and co-sponsoring two non-immigration-related bills pushed by Representatives Steve Sandstrom and Carl Wimmer.
Wright brushes off the notion he might have had aims at influencing two of Utah's most powerful anti-illegal immigration crusaders. "I don't make deals," he says. "All I expect is a chance to stand up and articulate my point of view. And if I can't make a good argument, I don't expect you to vote for it."

A bunion forms when your big toe points toward the second toe. This causes a bump to appear on the inside edge of your toe.
Hallux valgus
Bunions are more common in women than men. The problem can run in families. People born with abnormal bones in their feet are more likely to form a bunion.
Wearing narrow-toed, high-heeled shoes may lead to the development of a bunion.
The condition may become painful as the bump gets worse. Extra bone and a fluid-filled sac grow at the base of the big toe.
A doctor can very often diagnose a bunion by looking at it. A foot x-ray can show an abnormal angle between the big toe and the foot. In some cases, arthritis may also be seen.
When a bunion first begins to develop, take good care of your feet.
If the bunion gets worse and more painful, surgery to realign the toe and remove the bony bump (bunionectomy) may help. There are more than 100 different surgical procedures to treat this condition.
You can keep a bunion from worsening by taking care of it and wearing different shoes when it first starts to develop.
Teenagers may have more trouble treating a bunion than adults, because it may be the result of an underlying bone problem.
Surgery reduces the pain in many, but not all, people with bunions. After surgery, people often have trouble wearing tight, fashionable shoes.
Call your doctor if the bunion:
Avoid compressing the toes of your foot with narrow, poor-fitting shoes.

For as long as there's been an entertainment industry, an "insider's scoop" has been a reliable way to gain media attention. Over the years, however, many of those rare glimpses, unique perspectives and behind-the-scenes stories have been lost – or perhaps they were never shared. As we discover almost daily at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Library and Archives, many such stories are hidden within the boxes of an archives, waiting to be discovered by researchers. Art Collins has one such story.
Collins began his career at the age of 22 in the Atlantic Records promotion department, and two years later, in 1977, he joined Rolling Stones Records as the Stones' tour manager. For the Rolling Stones' 1978 U.S. tour, Collins traveled with the band from show to show, and he took notes about each stop on a yellow legal pad. These notes were later condensed into a report for the in-house Atlantic Records bulletin. Both versions can be found in Collins' files, but, for a researcher, the handwritten draft tends to be the more valuable of the two, because it may contain extra information that does not make it into the final text.
Furthermore, looking through his files offers the researcher a consistent perspective of what happened during a Rolling Stones tour, rather than the opinion of a different journalist in each city. On one piece of yellow paper with the top dated "June 30" Collins has written in blue pen: "Travel day to Cleveland for staff only." The note is followed with an entry for "July 1" at "Municipal Stadium Cleveland," noting the day and place for the World Series of Rock event that also featured Peter Tosh, Etta James and Kansas. Collins notes from that show detail "83,000 in attendance. Overcast day and rain throughout Stones set but crowd failed to notice." More examples of Collins' notes are on display at the Library and Archives through the end of this year, or you can access all of them in the Archives Reading Room.
By 1981, Collins had replaced Earl McGrath as the president of Rolling Stones Records. Collins still accompanied the band on the road during their '81 U.S. tour, but with a new purpose: a live album and documentary. Collins' notes from this period were devoted to finding the best performances by the band, and, for many shows, he created a song-by-song analysis. The film, Let's Spend the Night Together, features footage from two concerts (Tempe, Arizona, and East Rutherford, New Jersey); the album, Still Life, contains songs from four shows (the two in the film, plus performances in Rosemont, Illinois, and Hampton, Virginia). Full length audio and video recordings of these shows (with the exception of Tempe), are part of Collins' collection.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Library and Archives has two collections of materials created by Art Collins. The first, the Art Collins Papers, was donated after his death in 2005 by wife Nikki Collins. The second batch of files can be found in Series III of the Jeff Gold Collection. Gold acquired these files from Nikki Collins and later donated them to the Library. It is this second collection that contains all of the notes and correspondence on the Rolling Stones, but to get the full scoop on Collins' career, you'll need to consult both collections.

Reviews for Chocolate-Covered Cherry Cookies
"We absolutely love these!!!"
"Made these cookies to bring for a Christmas get together and they were a big hit! I got 39 cookies. I think next time I might spray the pan w/cooking spray as a couple of the cookies stuck a little but overall they came out of the pan with little trouble. Frosting was very good and could definitely be used on other cookies, etc."
"This is the first time I am leaving a comment but I have to. These cookies were not good at all. They went flat in the oven and they crumbled so much. They were ok when they were first taken out of the oven and still warm but after they got cold no one could eat them. I don't know what I did wrong compared to all the people who loved them."
"I found this recipe to really be good! I used: 1/2 tsp. EACH of baking powder, baking soda and salt in this recipe! I got 32 cookies on my first batch and about 36 cookies on my 2nd batch. I greased my baking sheets. For me, I prefer to grease the sheets and I find that it's easier for me to remove the cookies from the baking sheets! I found that just using a regular teaspoon-the type one uses at the meal table easiest for me to work with when spooning the chocolate mixture over the cookies before baking. I used a double boiler to melt the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and 1 Tbsp. of maraschino cherry juice over boiling water until smooth. Whatever was left of the frosting, I spooned over the baked cookies where I found some of the cherry still showing! By the way: This cherry frosting is excellent for using on a square cake or on brownies if one wishes to use the frosting for that purpose! Thank you for sharing this recipe! This is a wonderful recipe for holiday-type cookies! Also: I'd used stemmed maraschino cherries in which I removed the stems before I pressed the cherries into cookies! delowenstein"
"I have been making these cookies since I first tried them in 1993,when I saw the recipe in your magazine.They are my absolute Favorite cookie.Everyone at our house Love them.They are kinda putsie to make, but well worth the effort!!I LOVE THEM!!!"

Individual faculty members determine the attendance policy for the classes and should have them clearly stated in their syllabi. However, there are some circumstances that warrant special consideration to determine whether accommodation is possible. These cases are referred to as explained absences. There are two types of explained absences:
1. Absences due to co-curricular activities and out-of-classroom curricular activities. A co-curricular or out-of-classroom activity is when a student is representing Heidelberg University in a sanctioned event. University sanctioned events are those that are approved by the Provost as contributing to the overall erudition of the student as well as for the benefit of the institution. Examples include, but are not limited to, an athletic contest, a fine arts performance, or an academic field trip. Missing a regularly scheduled class for practice or other non-sanctioned events is not an explained absence.
2. Verified moral obligations or physical conflicts. There are many instances when a student has moral obligations that preclude their attendance of a class session. Examples include, but are not limited to, taking a sick child to the doctor or reporting for duty as required for the military reserve. Also, students may be unable to attend class due to serious illness or medical necessity, or death in the family. In these cases, undergraduate students will present evidence in a reasonable time frame to the Dean of Student Affairs who will verify the evidence of the moral obligation or physical conflict, and then contact the professors of the student's classes. Graduate students will present evidence to their instructor or director, if necessary.
It is important to note that an explanation of absence does not imply that the student is excused from the obligations of a course or the class work missed. It is the individual student's responsibility to consult with his/her instructor as to the effect of explained absences. Professors are expected to do their best to accommodate explained absences. This accommodation should in no way sacrifice academic rigor, and the University recognizes that there are cases for which there is no satisfactory make-up possible.
If prior to the end of the academic term, a student and instructor are in disagreement over accommodations for an explained absence, the student may seek mediation through the Department Chair or Director. Chairs or Directors may request additional mediation through the Academic Policy Committee.
To minimize potential problems, it is advised that the following protocol be observed for scheduled absences due to co-curricular activities and out-of-classroom curricular activities:
1. Instructors, coaches, and advisors must provide a list of known events that may conflict with the academic day to students during the first week of each term. Documentation should include the dates and times of events, and should instruct students to contact each of their professors to identify any potential conflicts.
2. Whenever possible, students should identify conflicts with their scheduled classes and notify professors the first week of class.
3. Professors should identify work that will be missed based on these conflicts and make a sincere attempt to find a solution.
4. Whenever possible, professors should present the student with a clear decision on the accommodations for missed work by the last day to add classes.
Some co-curricular events (notably winter or spring activities and national events, e.g., NCAA tournaments) may not be scheduled prior to the first week of classes. It remains the student's responsibility to approach his/her instructor with appropriate documentation as soon as the schedule is set to make arrangements regarding missed work. Again, instructors are expected to make a sincere attempt to accommodate for these absences and communicate their decisions in a timely manner.
Similarly, coaches/advisors are expected to accommodate for students' academic endeavors and may not deliberately punish a student for missing a co-curricular event to attend a class or course-required learning opportunity. If the student and the coach/advisor are in disagreement over accommodations for schedule conflicts, they student may seek mediation through the Dean of Student Affairs or his/her designee.

Ute's coach Kyle Whittingham
Last Friday, we conducted a survey to get our readers predictions and opinions on the Holy War rivalry football game between University of Utah and Brigham Young University.
In the end, the Utes won the game 24–21 with quarterback Jon Hays after the announcement of Jordan Wynn's retirement. While U fans celebrate, here are the results of that survey so you can see just how right you were.
Now that the rivalry is taking at least a two year hiatus starting in 2014, do you think the Holy War can finally be declared over?
75 percent—Now way! The rivalry will never end.
20.8 percent—Absolutely, it's been over since the Utes went to the PAC 12.
0 percent—Absolutely, the Cougars have outclassed the Utes and don't need to play this little game anymore.
4.2 percent—BY-who? Utah What?
Who is going to start Saturday's game for the Utes?
41.7 percent—Jon Hays
12.5 percent—Travis Wilson
16.7 percent—Who cares? The Utes are going down anyway!
29.2 percent—Doesn't matter who, the Utes are going to win anyway!
Who will win this Saturday's game?
45.5 percent—University of Utah
27.3 percent—Brigham Young University
18.2 percent—Doesn't matter, I just want to see some great football.
9.1 percent—What game?

I hate magazines and never read them. Except all the magazines that I read.
I say that only because the magazines I read would be considered (by many avid magazine readers) as weird. This includes trade mags that most of you would find terribly dull but that keep me up to speed on things in my field (Historically Speaking often touches on questions of historical method across historical disciplines, as well as forums on hot debates in those fields; Isis is the definitive review periodical for books in the history of science, one of those things that other fields of history annoyingly don't have; and so on). But it also includes periodicals I think everyone should read–including Skeptic and Skeptical Inquirer, but even more importantly (IMO), Science News and The Week. Something really awesome in that last got me to blogging today, which I'll be getting at presently; but let me digress a bit on SN first.
Science News is a must because all other media do not report science correctly. Not only do they miss 99% of the important stories in scientific and technological progress. But the 1% they do report on, they get entirely wrong, almost all the time. Compare a science story in a mainstream source, with the coverage of the same discovery in Science News, and you'll often be so appalled you will never get your science news from anywhere else again. Plus you get all those other stories you should be hearing. Isn't the state of scientific progress across all fields one of the most important things to keep up with? As a citizen, and as a philosopher, it's absolutely essential. Plus, you know, all those other reasons (e.g., in case you didn't get the memo, ascience is hella cool).
But the biggest benefit is that if you read Science News for years (or, as in my case, decades), you learn tons and tons of shit about science you never would have otherwise, from field-specific knowledge and terminology, to all kinds of "consilience" stuff, like realizing the connections between everyday materials science and basic physics, or between biology and psychology, or what it really takes for cybernetics to work, or AI, or computer models of the Big Bang, and so on (also, if I don't understand something in it, like a word or concept, I google around until I do, and being spurred to do that weekly has been a huge benefit to my intellectual development and understanding). Plus SN reminds you that religion doesn't ever do this. That is, produce enough real advances in human knowledge every week to fill an entire magazine consistently for going on nearly a century now (and you know it won't cease). The more you read Science News, the more religion looks decisively lame.
But my favorite magazine of all is the weekly The Week. I tried my hand at news weeklies before, and they all suck devil dicks. (That's slang for wicked awful. Alright, yes, I just made it up. And yes, I should have said greasy devil dicks, in homage to Brian Flemming's infamous question to me in The God Who Wasn't There). For a classic example of my profound annoyance at U.S. News & World Report, for example, see my thrashing of it on the subject of love science in Sense and Goodness without God III.10.3, pp. 197-202. (And, hey, that combines my point above about shitty mainstream science news reporting, too! Two birds.) But The Week is different. So different. Radically different. Unparalleled, that kind of different. Better even than Brill's Content (for those few who ever knew what that was, which I would love to see someone bring back again, at least in concept).
What is The Week? Basically, it's like a 40-page weekly for-profit RSS feed for worldwide print media. You get one every week (it comes to your doorstep in paper, unless you get the electronic version), and it summarizes all the big stories in newspapers in the U.S. and abroad. It's the "and abroad" part that's especially cool. But even the U.S. part is something, because they summarize stories by summarizing sometimes several articles across several periodicals of different political bent, and they do it in half a page or even a quarter of a page or less, plus a ton of quick story summaries of a single paragraph taken from state and municipal papers across the nation and the world. And it's brilliantly written, when you consider what they are doing here. So you don't have to read tens of thousands of words to get the gist of what was said across the country on diverse topics by people from diverse perspectives–and in foreign newspapers even. Curious what Nigerian newspapers are saying about the U.S. presidential debates? Or about their own internal politics? What about what Iranian newspapers are saying about the assassinations of their own nuclear scientists? Or what Chinese newspapers are saying about the shift in focus of U.S. military policy to the Pacific (in case you didn't notice that, BTW; it's not like U.S. media cover shit we actually want to know). Then read The Week.
The effect of avidly reading The Week is the same as Science News, only it's history-in-the-making, and world politics and cultures, that you are learning about. All kinds of stuff about, that you would never have learned otherwise. And in the same ways, e.g., you might google something talked about in an article to learn more about it; and multiply that by thousands of items a year, and the benefit to broadening your mind is priceless. And so on. Case in point (and this is what inspired me to write this blog today): Feb. 10 issue (I'm behind a bit; tends to happen), page 14, "Best Columns: International" feature, bottom fifth of the page, "Turkey." It summarizes an article in the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet by Mustafa Akyol.
I'll just quote it outright (with some stuff snipped for space):
Newt Gingrich professes to revere modern Turkey's founding father, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk…He has frequently written about Atatürk and held him up as a model statesman, to the point where the Atatürk Society of America gave Gingrich an award in 2006 in "commemoration of his contribution to publicizing Atatürk's legacy." But does the Republican presidential hopeful really understand that legacy? Atatürk was "the greatest and the strictest secularist" in our entire region…[creating] a state free of religious interference, even banning religious garb in the workplace. In the U.S., Gingrich considers secularism "a nightmare" and an abomination. "A country that has been, since 1963, relentlessly in the courts driving God out of public life shouldn't be surprised at all the problems we have," Gingrich says … and [he says] "anti-religious bigotry" is responsible for a decline in American morals. So how can Gingrich hold up as a hero the "militantly secular founder of a European one-party state?" The answer can only be that he favors secularism not for Christians but for Muslims, as a bulwark against what he sees as "creeping sharia." The "obvious double standard" puts the lie to Gingrich's claims of being an intellectual.
Ouch. But, yeah. "You are correct, sir!"
Now, I actually knew a lot already about the history of Turkey and its atheist national hero Mustafa Kemal Atatürk; but suppose you didn't…you would have learned something cool here, plus you might have googled to learn more, and really learned something cool here. So think of what you might learn from other columns, week in and week out. Right above this article, for instance, is an article from Russia about the epidemic of teen suicide there and its relation to horrific flaws in the Russian healthcare system; above that, a panoply of columns from India are summarized regarding the Golden Temple flap (you may be surprised by what Indians are actually saying about that).
And case in point…I didn't know any of this about Newt Gingrich! I mean, I knew he was a racist douchebag. But just when you thought you'd plumbed the depths of his hypocrisy… Comedian David Cross once quipped about how it pisses him off that he has to read "other countries' fucking newspapers" to learn about shit happening in his own country. Well, touché, David. Touché.
Subscribe to The Week, people.

Dolphins not meant to marry every quarterback
I don't mean to stereotype, but the typical guy usually likes three things: Sports, the ladies and cars.
Therefore, let me speak to the masses in a context most Miami Dolphins fans should be able to understand (at least those of us without ovaries, and in possession of game).
I want to share a story with you about two beautiful women I dated in college. Names won't be disclosed to protect the innocent.
Stay with me here.
The first young lady – let us call her Henne – I only saw on Fridays during a biology lab. She always looked good during class. But for those who aren't familiar with the college I attended, let me advise you that Friday is the day most students at Florida A&M dress up like they're participating in a fashion show to go hang out on the set socializing.
So, I eventually courted the young lady, who leaned on me heavily to get through the lab (and science is my worst subject). We got serious for a bit, but I was never comfortable with how she took care of herself, or how hard she worked on building her future.
She was a beautiful girl. Had it all looks wise, but her hair was rarely done. Too much upkeep for her. Her apartment was always messy. Her presentation was usually a bit off.
Drove me crazy she always wore the same old pair of ratty jeans. I'm talking at least four days a week she had them on. The only time she looked nice was on Fridays, which is what initially got my attention. And even though she was supposedly intelligent (was on a full scholarship…but on academic probation) and beautiful there was just something missing.
I saw so much potential in Henne, but the bottom line is we eventually broke it off (OK, I broke it off after she confronted me about the disappearance of her jeans, which I hid) because the potential wasn't meeting the performance.
It just wasn't in her.
Shortly after breaking it off with Henne my art history class, which met on Tuesday and Thursday night at a ridiculous hour, had a group project. For that project I was paired up with this young lady, who we'll call Moore.
Moore always sat behind me in class, but before turning around and asking her if she wanted to be my partner for the project I had never noticed her. She was always in a rush, rarely ever spotted on campus, never went to parties, and usually blended in as a result of her easy going vibe.
Then we got together for our project at the library and Moore looked hot. Maybe it was a fuke? The next time I saw her she looked better. Okay, it's not a fluke.
We got to know one another and I discovered why I'd never seen her around. She was an architecture major and was always grinding. She was on her game, usually working late hours in the architecture lab 8 hours a day.
Moore turned into an amazing project partner. We got an A, became friends, and paired up for more projects.
Moore probably wasn't as attractive as Henne, but she had her act together. There was charm, creativity, charisma, worth ethic, and style. She cooked (not very well). She cleaned (my place too). When it was time to perform Moore delivered the goods. She grinded hard at everything, and was easy to get along with. Those traits appealed to me.
We eventually dated for two years, even moved in together (you already heard how that story ended). Even though we weren't meant to be together we both grew from the experience, and it prepared us for our soul mates.
We were both better off for having found one another, and if it wasn't for a forced pairing, and Henne exiting the picture, I'd have never discovered the cute girls with the glasses who sat behind me in art history.
The moral of the story is don't becoming infatuated with the Chad Henne's of the world. Sometimes the fit just isn't right, and the longer you delay the breakup the more time you've wasted.
Just because a quarterback looks good every blue moon doesn't mean they possess everything needed to make you happy.
If you give the Matt Moore's of the world an opportunity you might be surprised by how they put out, so have an open mind.
So have an open mind, learn from this experience, and enjoy the ride.
