The first female president on TV—Geena Davis in Commander in Chief (2005–06)—arrived before her time and flamed out quickly. Now we have a model of female power that better reflects the ambivalence of our age: In HBO's Veep, Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays Selina Meyer, a crudely ambitious and largely incompetent second to a president who never calls her. In one scene, an aide rushes in to announce that the president has suffered a possibly fatal heart attack. The veep flashes a giant grin before assuming the appropriate mask of concern and grief, offering a rare glimpse of raw power lust in a female leader. But the crisis turns out to be a false alarm (heartburn). The joke delivers to American women the brutal truth about this cultural moment: The nation is not quite ready for your power grab.
But we're close. By many measures, we live in a world in which women are not just catching up to men but surpassing them. More women than men graduate from college, at a time when a college degree is still a key to economic success. In 2009 women were the majority of the workforce, and they represent almost half the students at law and medical schools. A recent analysis of census data showed that in most of the U.S., young, childless women earn more than their male counterparts.
People talk about the scarcity of women at the very top, but in fact we are heading toward a tipping point, where the number of women in visible leadership positions, in politics and business, will be large enough that it will no longer seem unusual or anomalous to see them there. Already women make up 51 percent of management and professionals in the U.S., according to the Department of Labor. In the positions just below CEO—the top executives, or the highest paid—women make up about 15 percent, as well as 16 percent of the seats on Fortune 500 boards. The number of women with six-figure incomes is rising at a much faster pace than the number of equally successful men. Nationwide, about one in 18 women who work full-time earned $100,000 or more in 2009.
Women are now lead TV anchors, Ivy League college heads, bank presidents, corporate CEOs, movie directors, scatologically savvy comedians, presidential candidates—most unthinkable 30 years ago. The job of secretary of state has been virtually co-opted by women. And as we learned from Barack Obama, it takes only one person to make the picture look different.
Americans are by temperament a meritocracy, so seeing Hillary Clinton negotiate with foreign leaders or Nancy Pelosi quarterbacking House Democrats makes us believe they have earned their authority, which influences our collective subconscious. The same goes for images of Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany, or Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund. War-torn countries such as Rwanda and Liberia have turned to women leaders to help them heal after years of savage warfare. In fact, the number of female heads of state, although still small, has doubled since 2005.
This is no accident. As we see more women on the public stage, our ideas about the qualities a leader should embody are evolving. The old model featured something like an army general, issuing orders to the ranks below. The new leader, called post-heroic or transformational by the historian and leadership expert James MacGregor Burns, is more like a charismatic coach who excels at motivating others to be hardworking and creative. Julie Gerberding, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and now head of Merck Vaccines, calls this style "horizontal leadership" and defines it as the ability to negotiate, collaborate and "walk in someone else's shoes with emotional intelligence and empathy." While both sexes have those skills, she continues, "I think that some of them are attributes that women are naturally inclined [toward] or [are] more socialized to excel in."
In the past few years, the need for this feminine-oriented style has become more urgent. In 2001, Harvard University's Quarterly Journal of Economics published a paper called "Boys Will Be Boys: Gender, Overconfidence and Common Stock Investment." Two researchers at the University of California, Davis, compared the stock market trades of men and women over a six-year period. Men, especially single men, traded vastly more frequently than women, and they did so out of a false confidence in themselves and their own judgments. Their overconfidence resulted in many more bad decisions and lower net returns.
In May, when Wall Street was scratching its head over how JPMorgan Chase could have made the disastrous trades that resulted in losses now estimated at some $5.8 billion, the New York Times came up with a novel and very relatable explanation. The bank's chief investment officer, Ina Drew, had been overseeing the team responsible for the bet. During 2008, Drew was credited with steering the bank away from such colossal errors. Using coach-like, "post-heroic" leadership skills, she kept the traders' huge egos and fighting in check. But Drew developed Lyme disease and, the New York Times reported, was frequently out of the office during the period the trades were made. In her absence, the testosterone raged out of control and damaged the bank.
The traits that used to be considered hallmarks of leadership—the ability to act quickly, to remain in a state of pumped-up confidence—are being recast as liabilities. Testosterone has become the new estrogen, the hormone that makes you behave in irrational and reckless ways. At the same time, behaviors that for centuries were viewed as feminine and flawed—hesitating, waiting for feedback, creating consensus—now look like critical skills that can save an ailing economy. As Lagarde commented, "If Lehman Brothers had been a bit more Lehman Sisters, we would not have had the degree of tragedy that we had."
Such a fundamental and momentous change in a culture's views inevitably creates resistance, not just from the men in charge but from some women as well. (Researchers often attribute the lack of sisterly solidarity to women's sense that they are still underdogs who have to fight for the few spots reserved for them at the top.) The resistance is natural, the last gasp of a dying age, of a culture afraid to accept the obvious and inevitable. There are plenty of signs that this lopsided hierarchy with men dominating the tippy-top is about to topple, given the number of women pushing against it. Take the 2012 election's war on women, for example. The efforts of some conservatives to limit women's access to birth control were an irrational, almost nostalgia-driven strategy. Ninety-nine percent of heterosexual women have used contraception; every family-values conservative knows that and knows too that this particular battle was lost long ago. But what drove the right to keep fighting was not the usual fear of female sexuality but fear of burgeoning female power. America's families and their economic successes are now dependent on female advancement in the workforce, which is dependent on contraception, and that must be a scary fact for the nation to absorb into its consciousness.
A recent Pew Research Center study titled "Men or Women: Who's the Better Leader?" perfectly captured our conflicted instincts at this moment. Researchers asked the survey participants to list the traits they thought most relevant to being a leader. The top choices were: honest, intelligent, hardworking, decisive, ambitious, compassionate, outgoing and creative. They then asked which gender better embodied each trait. Women tied or bested men on every trait except decisiveness. (On half the measures, the male and female respondents favored their own sex.) Nonetheless, when asked outright, only 6 percent said women are better political leaders than men. That doesn't make any sense except psychologically, as the kind of confusion and cognitive dissonance that precedes a massive paradigm change. If women have more leadership traits, why aren't there more women political leaders? A majority of the respondents (56 of the females, 46 of the males) said Americans simply "aren't ready" to elect a woman to higher office. In other words, we aren't ready for a woman because we aren't ready.
In years past, respondents might have said that women were unqualified, or that they should stay home and take care of their children, or that they would break down crying if there was a national crisis. Now they are just saying that psychologically, the nation has not accepted a truth that is empirically obvious. But that's like a man or woman standing on a diving board, closing his or her eyes and repeating, "I'm not ready! I'm not ready!" It's a resistance that can last only a little bit longer—a decade, a generation—before we dive in.

Also included is a crib rail guard, in yellow and white polka dot with an argyle ruffle. An argyle bed skirt, trimmed in yellow and white stripes, adds the finishing touch to the crib.

On the heels of our recent partnership with video enrichment platform Carambola, we're proud to announce that we've teamed up with minteye to create a powerful new ad unit based on the technology that powers minteye's Pre-Roll SKIP ad product.
We're even prouder to share that we're the first to adopt their technology.
With the unit, we're able to reduce click-aways and ensure that users stay engaged. By offering users the choice to skip the ad, it gives them control over their ad experience – via minteye's slide-bar technology – creating a game-like interaction.
So, how does it work?
While the user slides the bar to skip the pre-roll, an ad visual that's been broken down into tiles appears over the pre-roll. As the user continues to slide the bar, the tiles become a normal image, which is resized to fit the frame. Once the user has normalized the image, the "skip" button becomes active and the user can proceed directly to the content. This also drives higher awareness for advertisers than if the user had watched the entire pre-roll.
We think it's a win-win for everyone: Consumers get to the content they want faster, and advertisers get guaranteed engagement while supporting a better user experience.
Try the unit out for yourself here.

I am thinking of changing my system witch is currently to the left. Very good it is don't get me wrong but I fancy a change.
I am thinking of going valve based as I want to try something else. So I need some info and help. I would be changing my amp and speakers.
I have a Otto se living voice system auditorium at my second home so would like something else as good as they are just don't see point of have two sets of the same speaker or amp. Something from the same manufacture yes no problems.
Budget would be from what I got for my AA amp plus a few hundred or a swap with my amp and cash going there way if its worth more obviously. Same goes for the budget on speakers.
What can I get for around the 1000 to 1500 mark on a amp and the some amount on speakers.
Give me your recommendations on some speakers that work well with valve amps. Anybody got any thoughts on hybrid? what are they like?
Recommendations on a valve based amp and bare in mind that my current amp is bloody good so a valve amp that has a RRP of a £1000 to £2000 will not be an improvement to be fair. Same goes for the speakers.
I like a sweet sound well detailed big and open sound with a rock solid image. A know valve does this but I would also like it to get down and dirty when I am in the mood for some Metallica. Hope you can make sense of this.
Thanks for your input guys

I understand if it's a tired subject, talking about Halloween, but like said with Halloween II, there is a lot we don't know behind the movie and conception. I'm sure, had Universal been on the ball about a decade ago, he might have actually done some interviews before everyone was tired of talking about it. It's just sad, because the interest of the fans grows and grows, but Carpenter's diminishes.

ZF-11504: Zend_From::addSubForms() issue after cloneing
If you have a form with a subform with a name of numerical value
class My_Form extends Zend_Form {
public function init()
$this->addSubForm($mySubform, 0);
and you clone that form:
$form = new My_Form();
$form2 = clone $form;
you will get the following exception: "Invalid name provided; must contain only valid variable characters and be non-empty"
reason being the __clone method uses the addSubForms method and in the addSubFroms method it sets the $name = null and then never sets it to anything else unless the $key is a string. As you can see, the addSubfrom method allowed me to add a subform with a numeric name, therefore it is logical that the addSubForms() method would do the same.
If you remove line 1645-1648 of Zend_Form, it solves the problem:
$name = null;
if (!is_numeric($key)) {
$name = $key;
I agree, the addSubForm() allows you to specify a numeric value as name, this means that addSubForms() should have the same behaviour. I will provide a fix and a unit test for that, thanks.
Solved in trunk (commit 24155). Try it and let me know, thanks.
Perfect, thanks for the quick response!
Solved in branches/release-1.11 (commit 24156)

Sudanese 'Lost Boy' Atem Aleu fought anguish with art. Photo by Adam Finkle.
At 33, Atem Aleu seems like the typical Utahn: raising three kids, working a full-time job, volunteering in his community and still carving out time for creative pursuits. In fact, Aleu's a successful artist, exhibiting his paintings at galleries, universities and cultural centers around the country. But this life of stability and accomplishment has been built on a past of unimaginable tragedy, mapped by fear and fortitude, through the power of art and the improbable kindness of strangers.
Aleu is one of the so-called Lost Boys of Sudan, who grew up during a harrowing period of prolonged civil conflict between the country's Muslim government and the predominantly Christian South. As a young child, he witnessed his mother and baby brother brutally killed, lost his father and eventually fled his village on foot, running in the only direction in which there was no gunfire. He joined other orphaned children on a long march during which thousands died—eaten by wild animals or starving to death—on their way to refugee camps, where many more continued to suffer.
A simple, fatalistic mantra kept Aleu going: "If you don't die today, you will die tomorrow. So it doesn't matter. You have to keep moving until your time comes," he recalls. "That's what many people were thinking."
Children in war-ravaged Sudan
By night, terrifying images haunted his nightmares. At 14, in a Kenyan refugee camp, he found a way to get them out of his head. Making art, he discovered, could relieve his anguish and help strangers understand his life.
"I can share 100 words of history in one painting," Aleu says. "The only way to share this was to become an artist so other people, who can't communicate with me, can understand what happened."
In 2001, Aleu was resettled in Utah—a name he had never heard and couldn't pronounce. He had to learn to cook on a stove, to use electricity and to adjust to the cold and snow. An aid agency paid refugees' rent for only the first three months, he says, and jobs were located far from home, requiring long, complicated commutes. He got on the wrong crosstown bus once and, not knowing his own address, finally navigated his way home on foot, a three-hour trek, by way of landmarks.
"It was very hard," he says. "You realize you have to make something for yourself. There's not anyone who can care for you."
Soon after arriving, Aleu gathered the ten paintings he'd created in Africa and walked the several miles from his westside apartment to the Utah Arts Council downtown. He asked for a woman he'd never met: Jean Irwin, the council's arts education manager. Spreading his artwork before her, he said, "Somebody told me you can help."
She introduced Aleu to Art Access Gallery, where he exhibited for the first time and sold most of those 10 paintings. He eventually got a scholarship to study art at BYU, earning his BFA in 2007, and went on to attain master's degrees in cultural production and in coexistence and conflict at Brandeis University. Now a leader in Salt Lake's immigrant community, he helps other newcomers transition to life in the United States. But he has a bigger dream: to use art for peace-building by opening a center in South Sudan that will encourage members of the country's 64 different tribes to understand and value each others' cultures.
In the meantime—on weekends, in the middle of the night—he paints his memories. Reliving his childhood trauma is difficult, however, he explains, "When I'm doing art it makes me happy, because I'm not feeling these things—I'm releasing them!'

As part of the Rock Hall's Celebration Day, the Museum will screen the Bill Withers documentary, Still Bill, at 5pm ET. In this post, the film's co-director (along with Damani Baker) Alex Vlack, shares how he found Bill Withers, his hero, and transformed the experience into a movie.
Everyone who's ever turned on the radio, walked into a restaurant, been in a bar, lived in this country for more than a few days knows Bill Withers' biggest songs. But most people don't know his name, and most people don't know most of his music.
I didn't really discover it until college, when my friend Jon Fine turned me on to Still Bill, Withers' second record. We listened to it on cassette over and over and over. I'd grown up on blues and jazz and rock, and thought I was pretty well-versed – when you're 18 years old, you can think of yourself as a lot of things! – so how could an album like this have slipped past me? It was, simply, the best album I'd ever heard. Fine and I started a band, and one of the first things we did was ...
On Wednesday, April 23, 2014, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Peter Gabriel is coming back to the US for a special concert event – this time at a cinema near you.
Captured live in October 2013 at London's famed arena, The O2, Peter Gabriel: Back to Front showcases the recent Hall of Fame Inductee and one of the most innovative artists of modern times, and will screen in theaters nationwide. The performance reunites Gabriel with his original touring band from 1986 to cover his most well-known hits, including "Solsbury Hill," "Digging in the Dirt," "Sledgehammer," "Mercy Street" and "Don't Give Up."
"It has been wonderful working with [director] Hamish Hamilton again and his very talented team," said Gabriel of the film. "I feel they have really caught what was unique about the 'Back to Front' tour, both visually and emotionally. My own sound crew has also done a brilliant job."
The film event comes just weeks after Gabriel was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Chris Martin of Coldplay during the April 10, 2014 ceremony at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. "I'd like to read from the Book of Genesis," Martin ...
Debates about the predominance of singer over song (or vice versa) reign eternal. The Temptations' "My Girl" makes a case for the song. It has one of the most memorable melodies of the rock era, one of Smokey Robinson's most memorable lyrics, and a choral structure that could serve any harmony group from early-1950s doo-woppers to Boyz II Men. Here, meaning comes just as much from atmospheric production and arrangement (also by Robinson, with fellow Miracle Ronnie White) as it does from the song itself. The sound has the ozone-intoxicated feeling you get after a summer thunderstorm. Bass and guitar parts – particularly that unforgettable intro – rank with the era's most exquisite, and also set up the declamatory crooning of lead vocal. Perhaps the most thrilling moment comes with the soaring bridge: strings and guitar shimmer against the Temptations' hey hey hey, out of which Ruffin emerges with a swooping yet understated oooh yeah. The offhanded ejaculation gives the rest of the lyrics' romanticism complete credibility.
The Temptations are among the artists featured in the Detroit section of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Cities and Sound exhibit, part of the Museum's permanent collection.
Born on March 1, 1944, Roger Daltrey injected the Who's songs with expressive muscularity and passion. Daltrey made a natural rock and roll frontman, theatrically swinging the microphone and proving the ideal, angst-projecting foil to Who songwriter/guitarist Pete Townshend's "windmill" strumming and instrument destroying antics and drummer Keith Moon's explosive – sometimes literally – playing. With rock-steady bass virtuoso John Entwistle, the four evolved from purveyors of Mod-era "maximum R&B" to visionary, literary creators of concept album narratives and singular rock opera productions. Simply put: the Who created some of rock and roll's most enduring and powerful anthems.
In mid-1965, Daltrey and the Who were unflagging devotees of R&B, though their reverence ultimately started to stifle creativity. Hoping to shake things up on the compositional front, manager Kit Lambert demanded a new anthem to go with the image they didn't have yet. Pete Townshend responded with a primitive home demo of "My Generation." Arranged as a talking blues number, it didn't sound much like his generation. With a terse order to make it beefier, Townshend returned with a version deemed chunky enough to warrant a group whack at a demo session, which Lambert ...
Remembered not only as a peerless songwriter but also as a formidable personality and cheerful raconteur, 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Doc Pomus was one of the real characters from rock and roll's golden era. Atlantic Records producer and co-owner Jerry Wexler succinctly described his sphere of influence: "If the music industry has a heart, it would be Doc Pomus."
Pomus authored among the greatest songs in rock and roll history: "This Magic Moment" (recorded by the Drifters), "A Teenager in Love" (recorded by Dion and the Belmonts) and "Save the Last Dance for Me" (recorded by Ben E. King). Elvis Presley recorded at least 20 Pomus originals. In Cleveland, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's collection includes the hand-written lyrics to "Save the Last Dance for Me," which Pomus wrote at his wedding, while watching his new bride, Wilma Burke, dancing (pictured below).
Born Jerome Solon Felder in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn on June 27, 1925, he adopted the name Doc Pomus to hide his singing from his parents. Stricken with polio as a child, Pomus was confined to crutches and a wheelchair, though it never slowed him down. For ...
On October 9, 2013, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will unveil its latest exhibit: Collecting the Counterculture: Julio Mario Santo Domingo, Jr. in the Museum's Patty, Jay and Kizzie Baker Gallery. It's an exhibit that all started two years ago, in Geneva, Switzerland.
My job as the registrar at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has afforded me many opportunities to travel. One of those trips brought me to Geneva, where in November 2011 I assisted Rock Hall curators Craig Inciardi and Howard Kramer as they pored over the unique and vast collection of the late Julio Mario Santo Domingo, Jr.
When my colleagues and I arrived at the sprawling, discreet office space housing the Santo Domingo collection, I was immediately impressed and overwhelmed – there seemed to be treasures everywhere. The complex of rooms was filled with big rolls of movie and band posters, pinball machines, miscellaneous pop culture artifacts, floor-to-ceiling shelves of music and art books, and an expansive array of counterculture and drug-related paraphernalia and literature. As an Andy Warhol buff, I was particularly pleased to see one of Warhol's small art prints, propped against a reading chair ...
Interview with award-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone, who visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, and sat down with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame after his visit to share his impressions of the Museum, learning more about the roots of rock and roll, the history of rock and roll and the films featured in the exhibits; as well as hearing Motown for the first time in Vietnam; a time when rock and roll was "trashed," the importance of preserving pop culture, how "music is supposed to transcend" and more.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is home to a singular collection of Jimi Hendrix artifacts that help tell his story, from his boyhood days in Seattle, Washington, through his meteoric rise to superstardom.
In this clip, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial director Howard Kramer tells the story behind two of the guitars featured in the Rock Hall's Jimi Hendrix exhibit: the 1967 Gibson Flying V dubbed "Love Drops" and the 1960s 12-string Zemaitis acoustic made famous when Hendrix played it in the 1973 movie A Film About Jimi Hendrix.

In December, one of NASA's missions to the Moon came to a spectacular (and planned) end. Ebb and Flow, the two spacecraft comprising NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission, were commanded to descend into a lower orbit that would resulted in an impact on a mountain near the moon's north pole. The site of the impact was named the Sally K. Ride Impact Site in honor of the late astronaut, Sally K. Ride, who was America's first woman in space and a member of the probes' mission team.
Launched in September 2011, Ebb and Flow had been orbiting the moon since Jan. 1, 2012. The probes intentionally were sent into the lunar surface because they did not have sufficient altitude or fuel to continue science operations. Their successful prime and extended science missions generated the highest resolution gravity field map of any celestial body. The map will provide a better understanding of how Earth and other rocky planets in the solar system formed and evolved.
In addition to an impact site on the Moon, Ms. Ride's legacy lives on in her non-fiction books for children...many of which are listed in the resource lists of Explore modules (for example, Mission: Save the Planet: Things YOU Can Do to Help Fight Global Warming!).

Post subject: What are your favorite Linda Howard novels and why?
My favorites are: OPEN SEASON, CRY NO MORE, and DEATH ANGEL.
OPEN SEASON is one of my feel-good re-reads. I love the heroine and the chemistry between her and her hero, and the puppy dog. And I really appreciate that when the heroine realizes she is in danger she doesn't endanger herself further with walking into more trouble but leaves the solving of the crime to the professionals.
CRY NO MORE: Sometimes I am in the mood for an angsty read and that book is certainly ANGSTY. Also, once again really good chemistry between hero and heroine.
DEATH ANGEL: I appreciated the flawed heroine and the err... hero and was totally surprised by what happens to the heroine half way through the novel. I don't get surprised very often reading fiction, so I really like when an author manages to surprise me.

Mine is McKenzie's Mountain. I like this one best because the suspense is toned down and it focuses more on the love story. I also like the relationship between the heroine and the hero's son.

My favorites are her earlier books.
Diamond Bay
because I love the hero, Kell Sabin
Duncan's Bride
because it was a fun take on a modern day mail-order-bride story
Dying to Please
because the heroine knew how to take care of herself and the story went in a different direction than I had anticipated
I also remember really liked
Open Season
Kill and Tell
, but it's been a while since I've reread either so I'm fuzzy on the details.

Open Season
- Love Daisy and Jack. Love the story. Love the characters. Love the setting.
I know I am the only person who thought this but I've reread
Cover of Night
several times and really enjoy it. The hero Cal is to die for and I liked the kids.
Cry No More
is an intense story but one I just loved. It is a moving tale.
I love the Blari Mallory books.
Dream Man
is a truly terrific romantic suspense as is
Now You See Her,.

Oh, I am excited by this topic! Linda Howard is is one of my most favourite authors and so far I loved/liked anything I've read by her. I was disappointed by All the Queen's Men at first but later it grew on me and I even have my own copy now. Linda Howard and Mary Balogh are comfort reads for me in the sense that after I read an especially disappointing book, I pick up a book by either of these authors because it's a guaranteed enjoyment.
My absolutely favourite book is CRY NO MORE which is in my Top Two romance of all times (competing with Heyer's Venetia). I loved the great dramatic story, great chemistry between h/H and many other things, e.g. the fact that they were not breathtakingly beautiful, that the heroine was on friendly terms with her ex and one of the most satisfying and relevant to the story epilogues in romance books.
My second favourite is TO DIE FOR. I normally prefer angsty romance but I loved this lighter one, especially the heroine and her voice and great humour.

I love almost all of her books. Not a great fan of Cry No More, but I may have to try it again on a reread. Right now, I am rereading Touch Of Fire...one of her few historicals that I loved the first time around and am loving again. After this one, I will read Angel Creek. Howard writes men well. What more can I say.

I love most of her books, but the ones I adore are...
(in no set order)
Son of the Morning
- Love me some Niall
After the Night
- Of course
Dream Man
- The mystery is great and the hero is such a...guy. The secondary characters are also awesome.
A Lady of the West
- I enjoy all her historicals, but this is my favorite. The love scenes are delicious.
Diamond Bay
- Kell Sabine.

My four favorites are:
Mr Perfect
(very funny)
Open Season
Mackenzie's Mountain
(great characters)
Sarah's Child
(appealed to me in some way)
The last one,
Sarah's Child
, although I loved it, is definitely not a fav with many.

I love Open Season- like others have said it's such a feel good read. I love the character of Daisy and find her genuinely funny and sweet but still intelligent. Naive in some ways but not dumb. The makeover, apartment renovation and the puppy are just so enjoyable. I think they make a very believable couple too seeing that Jack had roots in the community and understood Daisy because of his Aunt. It made the whole romance seem more rooted in reality.
I also love "Now You See Her"- maybe because it was the first Linda Howard I read but also because I liked the somewhat prickly heroine and I enjoy a little supernatural in my suspense as well.
I also re-read the first two MacKenzie books, Mr. Perfect and a lot of the older ones of hers but unlike many I cannot stand After The Night.

Son of the Morning
-- Niall. This was my first LH and I loved the time travel and historical aspects..
Mr Perfect
--funny, the chemistry, and car washing has never been the same since.
Open Season
-- small town setting and librarian paired with former big city cop, just love it. Oh! and the drug store scene!!
Kill and Tell
--Marc Chastain, New Orleans balcony-- 'nuff said.
To Die For
-- funny, Blair and Wyatt as a couple.
I love the memorable scenes Howard paints that stay in my mind's eye as well as her ability to create great couple chemistry.
I also couldn't agree more with Xina:
Howard writes men well. What more can I say.

OPEN SEASON--Heroine is a librarian in Alabama (like me!) so I can't help but love it. Also it's hilarious.
CRY NO MORE--Perhaps the most heartbreaking romance novel I've ever read. But the writing is wonderful. And I think it's LH at the top of her game.

I don't much care for "A Lady of the West," but I like nearly all the rest, especially the early stuff like "White Lies," "Sarah's Child," and the suspense trilogy.

Mr. Perfect
- made me laugh out loud.
Son of the Morning
- I just loved the entire premise and loved how Grace changed and grew strong throughout the story. Plus, I love medieval stories. What is NOT to like here?
After the Night
- I always ask myself WHY I like this book since Gray is such a jerk, but I do like it. I think you have to look hard to find something to like about Gray, but it is there.
Cry No More
- Oh...the story of Milla and Diaz is so poignant! The strong man who is tender as a marshmallow inside.
Now You See Her
- I loved the paranormal twist.
I would include more, but pretty soon I would just list all of her books.

All the Queen's Men
(loved Medina since Kill and Tell, reread every year)
Mr. Perfect
(reread every year)
Dream Man
Strangers in the Night
(collection of 3 novellas)
Kill and Tell
I liked
Up Close and Dangerous

I didn't like:
Death Angel
(although the further away I am from reading it the more I think it was my mood, not the book)
Son of the Morning
(I don't like time travel very much)
MacKenzie novels
(for some reason I just didn't enjoy them, don't know why)
(this worked for a lot of people, and I LOVED the hero, but the rest of the book was a flop for me)

Sea Center Texas Summer Camp 2016
Sea Center Texas is a marine aquarium, fish hatchery and nature center operated by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). The site's visitor center educates through interpretive displays, a "touch tank" and aquariums depicting native Texas habitats including a salt marsh, jetty, reef and open Gulf exhibits. The Gulf aquarium houses nurse sharks, large red drum, gray snapper, Atlantic spadefish, and the state record moray eel. The center offers a variety of educational programs that promote the wise use and conservation of Texas' marine resources.
The facility operates one of the three TPWD marine hatcheries located on the Texas coast that produce juvenile red drum and spotted speckled trout to stock in Texas bays. The hatchery has the capability to produce up to 15 million juvenile fish each year.
The center's wetland area is part of the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail. Over 150 species of birds have been identified at the site. The wetland consists of a one-acre salt marsh and a three-acre freshwater marsh. Damselflies, dragonflies, butterflies and frogs are frequently seen just off the boardwalk. A small outdoor pavilion provides a quiet resting adjacent to the butterfly and hummingbird gardens.
Sea Center Texas was established through a partnership with The Dow Chemical Company, the Coastal Conservation Association, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by oscoda Chalk Talk Mugs I love the cleverness of these mugs. . . I mean, how fun to be able to write stuff on them and change it up each time. One note, the first set I ordered had some flawed mugs - the black chalk paint was smeared on the red part of the mug. However, Cost Plus customer service was so great that I still rate the overall score a 5. They promptly supplied me with mugs that were in mint condition. Very pleased. February 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by cd Great college or graduation gift. Gave the mug as a gift with a written message on it. It is fun to write on it. The students love it at the dorm. December 12, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Great for Holiday/Teacher Appreciation! This is a great present for a teacher for either the holidays or as a teacher appreciation gift - inexpensive and cute. Works for both male or female teachers. Much better than those cheesy mugs that say "#1 teacher" or something like that. December 11, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by MerlotCook Perfect for kids! My family loves these mugs! I had homemade hot cocoa in them for my kids the first day with a personal message for each of them- they loved it. I write 'good luck on your test' or 'have a wonderful day' etc for the kids and personal messages for the hubby (yes, he realized he had to reciprocate lol). I haven't found any problems with them yet- and we use them daily! November 20, 2010

Gender: Female
Bio: After waking up from within her treehouse, Azure notices she's got some mail. She drops the letter off at her table and fixes up a bowl of marshmallow cereal for breakfast. After a few bites, she opens the letter to read it. "A sporting competition, huh..? This must be some sort of tennis tournament! And if I win I get a.." she stares at the picture of dozens of tubs of icecream and drops her jaw. "ONE YEAR'S WORTH OF ICECREAM! Okay, I'm definitely doin' this!" shouts the excited girl. She quickly slurps up the rest from her bowl, hurrying to her bedroom to change into one of her many identical outfits, and runs out the front door, her star racket in hand, and hops down onto the soft grass below and heads to the nearest port to Rogueport..

Personality: Azure is an adventurous young girl. She's considerate of others, but will treat someone the way how they are to her. She can be very curious at times which usually ends up being a bad thing. She likes to be as independent as possible, although she doesn't like to talk a lot, and can't stand if someone tries to talk down to her. She may appear small and weak but she's got a strong attitude to match her solid determination.

Comments about THORLO Men's TRHXM Trail Hiking Crew Socks:
I own over three acres of woodland and wear hiking boots to work clearing brush, etc. My feet always hurt afterwards until I bought and used a pair of these socks. They've worked so well at protecting my feet from becoming sore that I bought three more pair. I strongly recommend them to anyone who gets pain in the balls of their feet or heels, or has numbness in their toes. These socks have helped my feet feel much better after a day's work.

Comments about THORLO Men's TRHXM Trail Hiking Crew Socks:
I got to test out my new brown TRHXM yesterday along with a brand new pair of NB 1569 Brown/orange hiking boots at the Red River of Gorge as well as Natural Bridge in east KY. We hiked Indian staircase, Gray's arch and some other trails. All together we hiked over 11 miles, my feet were dry and blister free unlike wearing regular cotton socks which would have blistered me and I wouldn't have been able to stand up the next day.
They do feel like winter wool type socks, but still they did the job extremely well.

New research by Warwick University's Professor Steve Strand has found that British children of Caribbean heritage are discriminated against when entered for SATS tests at Key Stage 3 (Year 9 and aged 14). Government data shows that children from a number of ethnic minority groups, including Pakistani, Bangladeshi and black African Britons, were doing far worse in these tests than white Britons. But while social factors such as economic background, attitudes to and attendance at school and mothers' educational attainment appeared to explain this in relation to the other groups, it did not seem to with regard to the Caribbeans.
Strand emphasises that accounting for this is not straightforward, but suspects teachers' expectations are partly to blame. His clue for this lies in the type of SATS test teachers enter pupils' for at Key Stage 3. These come in different degrees of difficulty, and the data reveal that a Caribbean child is a third less likely to be entered for the most demanding version than a white child whose level of attainment in the preceding three years has been the same. As the Guardian's education editor Polly Curtis explains, this means that, "Significant numbers of black pupils who are academically capable of getting the higher marks have them taken out of their reach." Lower levels of outcome are therefore guaranteed.
It is with some caution that Strand uses the term "institutional racism" to describe this, but use it he does. He wonders if part of the expectations problem lies in the interaction between some Caribbean pupils and some white teachers, the former believing the latter do not give them a fair chance and the latter finding the former confrontational, resulting in depressed perceptions of their academic potential.
A familiar debate has ensued. Although the government points to a narrowing of the attainment gap at the subsequent GCSE level over the past four years, black educationalists have called for further action. There are, though, differences of view about where and how this action be should be directed. Gus John believes Strand's work confirms what black parents have known for years and advocates a joint approach with teachers to correct the failing. Lee Jasper has been quoted as saying that the answer is schools run by black governors and staffed by black teachers with the specific needs of black youngsters in mind. By sharp contrast, Tony Sewell says it is wrong to blame teachers when the biggest problem is an anti-learning culture among black boys (his article does not identify Caribbean boys in particular, nor does it mention girls) which schools cannot be held responsible for.
I think there is force is all these arguments and that even the most opposed may be more reconcilable than they at first appear. Is there, for example, necessarily a conflict between encouraging Caribbean Britons to self-mobilise in terms of what their children aspire to, and encouraging teachers to do the same with regard to the pattern of discrimination Strand seems to have unearthed in them? The optimist in me thinks not. Yet the three generations after the Windrush, the pessimist in me could not blame Caribbean British parents for concluding that, whatever they do themselves, the state schooling system will never serve their children as it should.

Another Record-Setting Day At Horizon League Championships
Feb. 26, 2004
Chicago, Ill.- Fans witnessed another record-breaking day at the UIC Natatorium as the 2004 Horizon League Swimming & Diving Championships continued on Thursday.
Three UIC school records, two league relay records, two UIC Natatorium records, and a blazing new men's 50-yard freestyle mark were all set throughout Thursday's exciting festivities.
The UIC women's 400-yard medley relay team beat the Flames' previous best in the event with a 3:59.64, surpassing the old mark of 4:00.33 set back in 1999.
Illinois-Chicago's men's team followed with a record-setting performance of their own in the 400-yard medley relay, with Adan Jimenez, Enric Claret, Ari Bernstein and LeRoy Stevens blasting their own record set at last year's championships by more than two seconds, turning in a 3:22.93.
The old mark in the event was 3:24.99.
Jimenez broke another record during the 400-medley relay, turning in a 100-yard backstroke record of 51.97 leading off the event.
Both 400-yard medley league relay records were broken, as Wright State's women turned in a 3:51.26, while Cleveland State's men swam to a 3:19.93. Each time also marked new UIC Natatorium records.
Earlier in the day Wright State's Elvis Cirikovic shattered the 50-yard freestyle Horizon League record of UW-Milwaukee's Josh Baseheart, turning in a 20.20 during preliminaries. Cirikovic finished first in the 50 free finals, racing to a 20.46.
UIC standouts Stevens (21.06) and Blake Booher (21.10) turned in career-highs in the 50-yard freestyle.
Vanessa Segovia and Caitlin Carey posted UIC's best performances on the women's side, with Segovia placing third in the women's 200-yard IM with a 2:10.38 while Carey shared third-place on the one-meter board.
After 16 events, Wright State leads both the men's and women's team standings. UIC's women are firmly in fourth while the Flames' men improved to fifth.
The Horizon League Championships resume tommorrow, February 27th, with preliminaries at 10:30 a.m. Diving preliminaries begin at 2 p.m., and swimming finals start at 6 p.m.

Forecasting hot, humid weather today that will feel like 106 degrees, the National Weather Service issued an Excessive Heat Warning. This is the sixth day of a long and dangerous heat wave that threatens our most vulnerable residents. Catholic Charities is teaming up with fellow social service agencies and New York City to help keep you cool.
- Check in on vulnerable relatives, friends and neighbors.
- Make a special effort to support seniors, young children, and people with special needs to get to a cool place or medical attention if they need it.
- Remember that free Cooling Centers are in and near your local neighborhood and there are many ways to stay safe during the heat.
- Sign up for Notify NYC to receive Office of Emergency Management (OEM) notifications (call 311 or go to www.nyc.gov/oem)
- Call 311 or enter your address in the Cooling Center Finder on www.nyc.gov/oem.
- Be sure to call and confirm the center is open before traveling in the heat.
- Agencies providing Cooling Center facilities are:
- NYC Department for the Aging
- New York City Housing Authority
- NYC Department of Parks and Recreation Brooklyn Public Library
- New York Public Library
- Queens Library
- The Salvation Army
- If possible, stay out of the sun.
- When in the sun, wear sunscreen (at least SPF 15) and a hat to protect your face and head.
- Use an air conditioner if you have one. Set the thermostat no lower than 78 degrees.
- If you do not have an air conditioner, keep rooms well-ventilated with open windows and fans. Consider going to a public pool, air-conditioned store, mall, movie theater, or cooling center.
- Fans work best at night, when they can bring in cooler air from outside.
- Seniors and others who may be sensitive to extreme heat should contact friends, neighbors, or relatives at least twice a day during a heat wave.
- Drink fluids – particularly water – even if you do not feel thirsty.
- Avoid beverages containing alcohol, caffeine, or high amounts of sugar. People with heart, kidney or liver disease, or on fluid restricted diets should check with their doctors before increasing fluid intake.
- Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose clothing that covers as much of your skin as possible.
- Never leave children, pets, or those who require special care in a parked car during periods of intense summer heat.
- Avoid strenuous activity, especially during the sun's peak hours – 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you must engage in strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day, usually in the morning between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m.
- Cool showers or baths may be helpful, but avoid extreme temperature changes. Never take a shower immediately after becoming overheated – extreme temperature changes may make you ill, nauseated, or dizzy.
Seek help if you feel these symptoms:
- Heat cramps are muscular pains and spasms, usually in the leg or stomach muscles, resulting from heavy exertion during extreme heat.
Although heat cramps are the least severe of all heat-related health problems, they are often the first signal that the body is having trouble coping with the heat and should be treated immediately with rest and fluids. Stretching, gentle massaging of the spasms, or direct, firm pressure on cramps can reduce pain. Seek medical attention if pain is severe or nausea occurs.
- Heat exhaustion occurs when body fluids are lost through heavy sweating due to vigorous exercise or working in a hot, humid place.
Blood flow to the skin increases, causing blood flow to vital organs to decrease. Symptoms include: sweating, pale and clammy skin, fatigue, headache, dizziness, shallow breaths, and a weak pulse. Heat exhaustion should be treated with rest in a cool area, sipping water or electrolyte solutions, applying cool and wet cloths, elevating the feet 12 inches, and further medical treatment in severe cases. If not treated, the victim's condition may escalate to heat stroke. If the victim does not respond to basic treatment, seek medical attention. Heat exhaustion usually occurs when the heat index is between 90 and 105 degrees.
Heat stroke — also called "sunstroke" — occurs when the victim's temperature control system, which produces perspiration to cool the body, stops working. The skin is flushed, hot and dry, and body temperature may be elevated. In fact, body temperature can rise so high that brain damage and death may result if the body is not cooled quickly. The victim may also be confused, develop seizures, breathe shallowly, and have a weak, rapid pulse. Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness and people exhibiting its symptoms should seek emergency medical attention.
- Hot summer weather can increase ozone levels.
Ozone, a major component of smog, is created in the presence of sunlight by reactions of chemicals found in gasoline vapors and emissions from cars and industrial smoke stacks.
When ozone levels in the unhealthy range are expected, New Yorkers are advised to limit vigorous outdoor physical activity during the afternoon and early evening hours when ozone levels are at their highest.
If you have asthma or other respiratory problems, stay in an area where it is cool and the air is filtered or air-conditioned. Outdoor exercise should be scheduled for the morning hours whenever possible.
Children are generally more at risk to the effects of ozone, especially in the summer as children tend to spend more time outdoors.
People who exercise moderately (such as jogging) are also at risk, because breathing rate increases with exercise and the amount of ozone delivered into the lung per minute increases.
Additionally, ozone can have a dramatic effect on people with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or those sensitive to ozone.
Symptoms associated with unhealthy levels of ozone include:
- Chest pain
- Coughing & wheezing
- Lung & nasal congestion
- Labored breathing
- Nausea
- Eye & nose irritation
- Faster breathing
- Sore throat
High ozone levels can also decrease lung function, increase susceptibility to respiratory infection, and aggravate asthma and other chronic lung diseases. Schedule outdoor exercise and children's outdoor activities for the morning hours. Individuals who experience respiratory symptoms or chest pain should consult their doctors.
To help reduce ozone levels:
- Avoid driving, especially on hot summer days. Use mass transit, walk, or carpool instead.
- Be careful not to spill gasoline and fill your gas tank during the cooler evening hours.
- Keep your car properly tuned and maintained.
- Seal containers of household cleaners, solvents, and chemicals to prevent evaporation of chemicals that can contribute to ozone formation.

I am currently working on a benchmark comparing the performance of various Hermitian matrix eigenproblem implementations on a SMP system.
I already have some scaling results for LAPACK with multithreaded BLAS and MKL, using routines ZHEEV, ZHEEVD and ZHEEVR. I decided to try Plasma 2.5.1, as the release notes mention support for Hermitian eigenproblem. However, I do not get any speed up, only a very small improvement when using 2 cores vs. 1, but with 4 and more cores the time actually increases. When watching CPU usage using htop, i see that actually only one thread is busy, while the others are basically idle.
PLASMA is compiled using installer with multithreaded MKL:
./setup.py --cc=gcc --fc=gfortran --cflags=-DPLASMA_WITH_MKL -L/opt/intel/ --blaslib=-L/opt/intel/mkl/lib/intel64 -lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_gnu_thread -lmkl_core -ldl -lpthread -lm
The program calling PLASMA is compiled with:

PDN Video Pick: Gregory Heisler, David Hobby and Martin Prihoda in a Self-Portrait Shoot-Out
Three photographers walk into a hotel in Dubai. A guy proposes a self portrait shoot-out, and they agree to take up the challenge in front of an audience of photographers in town to attend the Gulf Photo Plus 2012 show. The first photographer, David Hobby, says, "My goal tonight is not to fatally embarrass myself in front of my long-time idols." The second photographer, Martin Prihoda, tells the MC that still life makes him uncomfortable. (Fortunately for him, still life wasn't the challenge.) The third photographer, Gregory Heisler, says, "I really have to pee." Then the shoot-out begins, with an intrepid video crew on hand to capture the drama, reality-TV style. Cameo appearances by David Burnett, Zack Arias, and Joe McNally. We'll resist the urge to spoil the surprise by revealing the winner.

Which tags do we allow?
This is what everybody does right now. Just every combination of letters will be valid as a single tag.
- Different people might understand different things under the same terms, but maybe this is irrelevant if you search for more than a single word?
Allowing only words that are title of a Wikipedia-Site, or at least use wikipedia as follows to improve the quality of tags automatically:
This could solve some problems:
- Words that are acronyms with several meanings could be solved via the information that is contained within wikipedia already. (e.g.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DRM [4]) The tagging-interface then could automatically provide a list to the user and allow to choose one of those meanings (by replacing the tag with the correct wikipedia article name).
- Each tag has a described meaning, thus people will more likely understand the same
- A search through tags would provide the searcher the same lists for which meaning (of such a word) to search.
- Often there are several words that mean the same thing. This can also be automatically solved with the help of Wikipedia: Redirects. Redirects are Wikipedia-Sites that contain nothing but a reference to the article with the correct lemma for its meaning. Such tags could be automatically replaced with its correct lemma. (e.g.: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Asymmetric_Algorithms&redirect=no [5])
- some words might be missing completely ..
Lots of other good ideas about a Software Thesaurus can be found here: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=2006052522234947 [6]
List of possible Software Thesauri
- Wikipedia
- foldoc (http://foldoc.org [8])
- NAG (http://www.nag.co.uk/numeric/fl/manual/html/FLlibrarymanual.asp [9])
- UNESCO Thesaurus (http://www2.ulcc.ac.uk/unesco/ [10])
- DADS (http://www.nist.gov/dads/ [11])
- IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology (rev 2002) (http://standards.ieee.org/reading/ieee/std/se/610.12-1990.pdf [12]) -> this one also sound promising but I have no account there so I couldn't take a look at it :-(

Now this is something truly special. Also taking inspiration from our namesake, John Coltrane's Giant Steps album, Swedish vocalist Cecilia Stalin has released her Step Like A Giant project.
She has done an overwhelmingly beautiful job paying homage to one of our most cherished musical greats. She speaks on the project:
This project was born deep down in my heart when I first heard "Naima" by John Coltrane. I fell deeply in love with the melody and then even more with the lyrics after learning more about him. I have ever since spiritually been working with the music of John Coltrane and it's now come out in new shapes, forms and ideas.
Cecilia aims to use the project to introduce Coltrane's music to those who may not yet be familiar. Stream the project below and become inspired yourself!

The right dry shampoo won't weigh down your hair or give you residue.
Every hair professional tells us not to wash our hair everyday ("Scalp oil is healthy for our hair!"). But after a couple days, most of our manes start to look nappier than Lil Wayne's locks. But thanks to a little invention called dry shampoo, we needn't look unkempt while going unwashed. This comes in especially handy while hanging out by the pool or prepping for a long camping trip.
Inspired by baby powder, dry shampoo typically consists of clay or starch that comes most commonly, and conveniently, in an aerosol spray. But not all of them are created equal. Some leave a white residue that needs a brutal brushing in order to blend, and some weigh down your hair with too much concentrated product. So, after weeks of testing out brands ranging from drugstore to debutante, here are my favorites (notice I steer clear of foams or "wet" dry shampoos):
Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo, $24; lovelyskin.com
Arguably the gold standard in dry shampoo, you can't deny the flawless finish of this French-made product. Yes, it's pricey, but it also contains a bevy of extras like iron oxides to make the powder virtually invisible, and essential oils to deodorize naturally. All of this, in addition to the clay and silica powder that are powerhouses for oil absorption. It does everything you want it to do.
Suave Dry Shampoo Spray, $3; Jolley's Corner Pharmacy
On the bottle, this product promises to "refresh as well as Rene Furterer"—so does it? Well, that's like saying Maverik's frozen yogurt is as good as Red Mango's. When you're on a budget, Suave does the trick better than any other drugstore dry, that's for sure. Plus, it has a delicious tangerine scent, so brace for compliments on your "lovely perfume."
Identity1 Hair Powder, $26; Estilo Hair Salon
For another Beauty Buff blog, I had Estilo do three separate hairdos on me, and each one utilized this hair powder for incredible volume and texture. The dry mixture poofs out from a tube in small amounts, adhering itself around the hair follicle for max absorption and volume. Did I mention the volume? Definitely a winner, especially when it comes to poofing up pompadours and updos.
Be sure to slip one of these products into your "easy beauty" routine, and into your weekender bag for a low-maintenance Spring Break.

Rated 5 out of 5 by snooze12 Laceys are the best Even though I prefer a soft cookie, these crunchy Laceys have the best flavor. I have received them as a gift in the past and purchased them to enjoy over the Christmas holidays. January 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MeiMei Best Cookies Ever I'm always looking for these cookies, because I love them so. Hope World Market continue selling them, I have requested them for Christmas so I'll have a stock pile in my secret place. November 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DuvalCrawler Cookie or candy? Dark chocolate and coconut lovers, these are for you. Chewy, crispy and chocolaty, these Laceys almost defy description. They're not exactly cookies and not exactly candy, but a delicious combination of the two. They're great for eating by themselves, but would also be good on top of a brownie or crumbled over ice cream, maybe with some toasted pecans. Yum! November 17, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nerr Not a Good Thing We decided to try the actual 'LACEY' brand of this cookie and the World Market version of the cookie, we had not tried either one before. The actual LACEY brand is fantastic, a truly delicious cookie, the copy cat, World Market version was not good at all, we actually threw them out, plus they were more expensive than the real deal…too bad, I was hoping for the opposite. We still love the Cost Plus World Market store, just not those cookies :) March 13, 2015

ZF-6605: Zend_Loader::registerAutoload() should proxy to Zend_Loader_Autoloader
While Zend_Loader::registerAutoload() is deprecated, it should proxy to Zend_Loader_Autoloader, setting it as a fallback autoloader and otherwise maintaining the same behavior.
Stupid question, but: why?
Please see these two emails from fw-general for more information: * http://nabble.com/Re%3A-Replacing-Zend_Loader-by-Z… * http://nabble.com/Re%3A-Replacing-Zend_Loader-by-Z…
Basically, proxying to Zend_Loader_Autoloader eliminates the duplicate deprecation notices, and also provides a direct migration path for developers.
Resolved in trunk and 1.8 release branch.
