Men's Volleyball Heads To NJIT, Looks To Clinch Berth In EIVA Playoffs
TWITTER: @PrincetonVolley l @PUTigers
The men's volleyball team has the opportunity to make some history Friday night at NJIT; in doing so, it would also be extending its immediate future. A victory over the in-state Highlanders this weekend would ensure Princeton three straight trips to the EIVA semifinals for the first time since 1996-98, a run that included the Tigers' lone league championship.
Princeton has reached the EIVA postseason the majority of the time since it achieved varsity status prior to the 1997 season. However, the league postseason included a quarterfinal round until recently, and Princeton had never made it beyond that round three consecutive years.
The Tigers have been part of the EIVA's final four teams in both 2012 and 2013, and they're looking to go beyond that point this year. A win Friday night would be a positive first step, as it would both ensure a trip to the playoffs, as well as keep them in good position to stay among the top three in league play.
Princeton vs. NJIT
Princeton defeated NJIT 3-0 in the first meeting between the two teams, but it was a match that had some early drama. The Highlanders actually served set ball four times in the opener, but they ultimately fell 32-30 after back-to-back aces from freshman setter Chris Kennedy. The Tigers rode that momentum to more comfortable victories of 25-20 and 25-21 to clinch the win.
Kennedy thrived during that six-match homestand, which included the 3-2 victory over No. 12 Penn State, but a recent injury left him on the sidelines last weekend when the Tigers fell in the road rematch to the Nittany Lions. Kennedy will likely be a gametime decision this Friday, though classmate Junior Oboh has been representing the Princeton Class of 2017 well; Oboh earned Off the Block/Springbak, Inc. National Freshman of the Week honorable mention after strong performances at both Penn State and Saint Francis.
Friday's match will feature two of the league's top hitters. Princeton junior Cody Kessel currently ranks third in the EIVA with 3.44 kills per set, while NJIT freshman Jabarry Goodridge ranks fourth with 3.33 kills per set.
Around The League
While Friday night will include a pair of New Jersey matches with EIVA postseason significance (George Mason at Rutgers-Newark and Princeton at NJIT), the most significant match of the night takes place in Boston, where Harvard will look to split the season series with Penn State. A Harvard win would leave both teams with two losses in league play, and the two teams would be in a fight to the finish to clinch home court advantage for the postseason.
Saint Francis, which is a half game behind George Mason for the fourth and final playoff spot in the EIVA, travels to both Sacred Heart and Harvard this weekend.

Yes, I know I'm a little late on the pickup here. I don't prefer to do top 10 lists, I'm not quite sure why, but they just feel like they lack information to me or glaze over important information. But, I realize they have great merit too, and I was impressed with Cybele's recent post of The 110 Essential Candy for Candivores. My goodness that's a long list, and here I have trouble doing just ten! Well, I was inspired to say the least, so I wanted to list out the ten candies I really felt I discovered more of in 2009 that are a must for any candy lover.
10. Gum. Now, gum is something I've never really been big on for many reasons. But this past year I really gave it a good try and discovered a bunch of new flavors and such that I was really pleased with. Granted, I don't chew them now, but it's just because that's who I am. I'm sure any gum lover would adore the new stuff on the market. I was really happy that I gave them a try and was really pleased with what I tasted.
9. Classic candy in a new shape. These Reese's Eggs stand as a good example. It's amazing how the flavor changes when the candy ratios are mixed up. It's a gret way to put a new spin on an old favorite.
8. Fruity Gummi candy: If it's plain old gummi bears, Dots, or what have you. I tried many new kinds this past year and was really pleased with them. They aren't the flavorless overly chewy/sticky stuff that I remember from my childhood.
7. Cadbury Creme Egg: An Easter favorite. You just have to try them to try them, even if you think they'll be too much for you. You really need to know where you stand: love 'em or hate 'em.
6. "Gourmet Candy". I put these in parentheses since everyone has their own definition of gourmet. You should at least try something that's got something seeming odd in it, if it's chocolate with pepper or caramel with bacon.
5. Jelly Beans Every Easter I try and review as many kinds as I can, and each time I re-discover just how truly tasty they are. They are a candy that seldom disappoints, and I am reminded again of how much I love them.
4. Licorice. I'm continually surprised with how many different types of black licorice that exist out there. It's something I've grown to love in the past few years, and I love trying a new kind.
3. Kitkats from another country. This much loved bar in the US get lots of love overseas with exciting flavors like Green Tea, Caramel, Espresso Coffee and Whole Grain Cookies. Most of my experience is from Japanese Kitkats, but you realy can't go wrong with these and you should try and taste some of these stranger ones (to us) at least once.
2. Noughat. Whether it's in a Milky Way, a bar of Torrone, or in a Big Hunk, this stuff just makes my taste buds sing. It's something that I'm always looking for new varieties, and each time I'm never disappointed.
1. Chocolate Bars-dark, milk, white. I swear there isn't a day that passes where I don't each some chocolate off of a bar. It's a staple of my diet and it just get any better than this. I prefer my chocolate bars plain with no additions, but sometimes I feel a bit nutty and change things up. There's so many varieties out there it's a candy source you'll be hard pressed to exhaust. Pure chocolate is where it's at, pure and delicious.
So what are your Top 10 Candies of 2009? What are you looking forward to trying in 2010?

I just love it when the power goes out at our house, as it did last night. A rather nasty storm came our way, knocking out electricity and playing havoc with our satellite and the shingles on our roof. We missed the tornado and hail; just got lots of wind and water. Whoo hoo, it was a party!
The fun part about power outages is how they leave me feeling powerful.
It's the only time this she-she chick with her extensive frou-frou collection of scented votives, pillars, and tapers, shifts from annoying to resourceful.
Need a little light on the subject? I've got you covered!
During these rare instances of involuntary darkness, my penchant for keeping all manner of solidified wax products within arms' reach becomes one of my greatest virtues. Just try finding a flashlight without one in total pitch darkness. It's amazing what a little wick glow will do!
Suddenly I become the rescuer, the level headed one, the lady with foresight and matches: "Allow me," I say in my most commanding tone, and voila! Light! Sometimes I wish the power would stay off for good!
Still, the charm wears thin come morning time. Showering and preparing for the day by flash and candlelight did wonders for my spirits, but then I was ready for illumination. I grew weary of trying to turn on what I couldn't.
Isn't that the way of us? To keep trying what doesn't work? Don't you love how we'll persist in futile behavior? Even though we know the power is out, our fingers still persist in switch flipping. I wasn't alone. I caught my spouse doing it several times. Last I saw him he was roaming the house wistfully, remotes in hand, ready at a moment's notice to resume channel-surfing and garage door opening. All the things we take for granted.
Thunderstorms and power outages. Nature's little reminders that we aren't always in control. And since we aren't, we might as well enjoy the candlelight. And keep some matches handy. Who says emergency preparedness can't be romantic?

Zucchini Garden Chowder RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review

Years ago, when my husband and I put in our first garden, a neighbor suggested zucchini since it's easy to grow. Our kids were reluctant to try new things, so I used our squash in this cheesy chowder—it met with solid approval from all of us! —Nanette Jordan, Flint, Michigan
- 2 medium zucchini, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3 cups water
- 3 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- Pinch sugar, optional
- Additional minced fresh parsley, optional
- In a Dutch oven, saute the zucchini, onion, parsley and basil in butter until vegetables are tender. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper. Gradually stir in water. Add the bouillon and lemon juice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

"This was quick and easy to make and very tasty. Next time I will try a can of fire roasted tomatoes for an extra kick. I also used fat free evaporated milk, omitted the cheeses, and used less butter for caloric reasons but still found it to be a yummy, rich tasting soup."

ZCMI's cast iron face has adorned a commercial space on Main Street since 1868, and, like every great piece of architecture, it has a story.
Robert Baird and his brothers Richard and David know the story well, and in a way, that story and the facade's endurance are their birthright. They grew up working alongside their late father, Steven Baird, and his lifelong pursuit to save it from demolition. They are living witnesses to its beauty, and its importance not just as a Utah landmark, but a key piece of American architectural history.
"The restoration of the ZCMI facade in 1973 was the first major cast-iron restoration project in the country." Robert Baird says.
Cast in Iron
As Utah's territorial governor, Brigham Young was determined to make Salt Lake City an important place name.
"He wanted to build a model city," Robert says. "He traveled across the nation, He'd been to New York City and Philadelphia. He wanted to bring what those cities had to Salt Lake."
What those cities had was cast iron. Previously, large buildings were made out of masonry. But the innovation of the cast iron facade made for a stronger structure and allowed for big windows.
"A department store is all over that," says Martha Bradley, author of the book ZCMI: America's First Department Store. "You want to display goods, and the advent of the cast-iron facade allows for this moment where life in American cities really takes off. Suddenly you're walking down city streets, dazzled by this variety of goods. This sense of abundance made cast iron the backbone for a new era."
And with the completion of the transcontinental railroad, Young could bring cast-iron building technology to Utah. The facade was installed in 1868. Considering cast-iron building was developed in 1859, that makes Brigham, in those days, what you might call an early adopter.
The Great Credit Card Protest
In its early days, the ZCMI facade played foppish outsider to 19th-century realities. Muddy streets filled with horse-drawn carriages lay at its feet, juxtaposing the then-modernity of the facade with the coarse and rugged actuality of frontier life. The facade was an aspirational emblem. A top hat on a pig.
But in 1973, just over 100 years past its original erection, it was to be torn down to make way for the ZCMI Center Mall.
"There was an outcry from local preservationists," Robert Baird says. "A member of the Utah Heritage Foundation wrote a letter to The Salt Lake Tribune and asked people to cut up their ZCMI credit cards and send them to the store. Overt the next weeks, they were flooded with mail and the decision was made to save the facade."
Baird's father, who was among the vocal architects protesting the facade's destruction, was enlisted to dismantle it and research its restoration. Robert was 16 years old when his father embarked on the project – much of which took place in the family garage, with Robert and his brother working alongside dad – on a century-old technology.
"We kind of made it up as we went along," Baird says. "But what he learned in that first preservation made him the expert in the country in the preservation of cast-iron buildings."
The original restoration helped start a movement to preserve cast-iron buildings in major cities across the nation. It put Steven Baird at the heart of the movement, and his resulting company, Historical Arts and Casting, now run by his sons, is the premier historical metal shop in the U.S.
Déjà Vu All Over Again
When the City Creek Center project was announced in 2006, the façade's future was again in question. But this time, no credit card protest erupted. It was with little debate that the real estate arm of the LDS Church, City Creek Reserve Inc., announced that the façade would stay.
Once again, Steven Baird and his sons were called upon to bring the façade back to its original glory.
"With what we learned 38 years ago, we started again and were able to improve on the original restoration," Robert Baird says.
The façade now stands again on Main Street, a symbol of where we came from. The two dates flank its crown: 1868 and 1999. One marks its first installation, while the other notes the year that ZCMI shuttered its doors.
"The choice to keep the façade is more than just an aesthetic decision," Bradley says. "It's really about the value of material culture and how it carries the story of past generations with it."
America's First Department Store
University of Utah historian and author Martha Bradley contends that ZCMI was the first department store in America. ZCMI was originally created in response to price gouging by non-Mormon merchants who arrived in Utah with the railroad.
Brigham Young organized LDS merchants into a cooperative (ZCMI stands for Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution) that would have larger buying power for goods that Mormons relied on outside merchants to provide. Bradley says:
"From the word go, it had a range of products under one roof from dry goods to horse tack."

We found a number of dogs on petfinder and drove to Peoria Paws shelter to see them.
His name was not Hudson at the time, but he was a shy and quiet, beautiful dog who just looked at us calmly. When my son, Jonathan, was approved to adopt him, they discovered that he had a stage 2 heart murmur, and did not suggest that we take him.
I spoke to my local vet, Dr. Wickes from Aledo, IL. He himself has a heart murmur! He said to adopt him and bring him in for a checkup.
I have had him checked every six months for the last four years, and he is still very healthy. He loves to take walks and play fetch. He is a sweet and loving dog, and we are so happy we found him.

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer death in men and women in the US. According to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that there will be 37,680 new cases of pancreatic cancer in 2008, and 34,290 deaths are expected. Pancreatic cancer occurs when malignant cells grow out of control.
A risk factor is anything that may increase a person's chance of developing a disease. It may be an activity, such as smoking, diet, family history, or many other things. Different diseases, including cancers, have different risk factors.
Although these factors can increase a person's risk, they do not necessarily cause the disease. Some people with one or more risk factors never develop the disease, while others develop disease and have no known risk factors.
But, knowing your risk factors to any disease can help to guide you into the appropriate actions, including changing behaviors and being clinically monitored for the disease.
Risk factors for pancreatic cancer, according to the National Cancer Institute, include:
There are several types of pancreatic cancers, including the following:
Some benign (noncancerous) tumors in the pancreas include the following:
The following are the other most common symptoms of pancreatic cancer. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of pancreatic cancer may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for pancreatic cancer may include the following:
Specific treatment for pancreatic cancer will be determined by your physician based on:
Depending upon the type and stage, pancreatic cancer may be treated with the following:
Long-term prognosis for individuals with pancreatic cancer depends on the size and type of the tumor, lymph node involvement, and degree of metastases (spreading) at the time of diagnosis.

A Heavenly Day
Albert Ellis once said "the art of love is largely the art of persistence." Who knows more about love and persistence than the families and friends of victims of cancer? The annual Angels on Earth luncheon celebrates the men and women dedicated to cancer awareness and prevention at the Cancer Wellness Center at Piedmont Atlanta. To elevate the cause, guests dined on Ansley Country Club chef Jason Valerio's vegan and gluten-free menu (including a delish fennel and parsnip soup), while a panel of experts like Dr. Heather Richardson spoke on the subject to attendees. –Photos by Dylan York

Part five of a 12-day series profiling each member of the 2012 Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame, leading up to the induction ceremonies on Thursday, Nov. 15. Today's profile is on Alan Culpepper, two-time Olympian and seven-time CU cross country/track & field All-American. Click here for more information and to register for the 2012 induction ceremony.
The love for running began at an early age for Alan Culpepper. He first recognized his love for the sport at his elementary school in El Paso, Texas. Twice a year, Culpepper would line up with his classmates to run the mile for presidential fitness tests.
|Alan Culpepper was the 1996 NCAA 5,000 meter champion
"That for me was the first indication of like, 'Alright, I like this and it's my day' and I would go out and set the school record and all that," Culpepper recalls. "That was my first taste of running hard."
Culpepper is the youngest of three boys, and although his father, Stan Culpepper, ran at Texas Christian University, Alan was the only son who enjoyed running. His two older brothers turned to basketball and baseball, but team sports never really interested Culpepper.
"I've always been pretty independent-minded and self-motivated. Running really brought that out for me, allowed it to flourish," he said. "Team sports were really always frustrating. I always felt kind of held back by different coaches' styles, that kind of thing."
In high school, Culpepper set multiple district records that still stand in El Paso. He was a five-time Texas state champion and ranked first in the nation in the 1,500-meters with a time of 3:50.
Although he was also recruited by the Universities of Texas and Arizona, Culpepper chose to run for the University of Colorado and became a Buff in 1992.
"[My decision] ultimately came down to two factors: my belief in coach Jerry Quiller and his being able to support a smooth transition from high school to college and all that process entails, as well as my fondness of Boulder," Culpepper described. "I knew that ultimately this is where I could see myself and the beauty and culture of Boulder was very attractive to me."
Culpepper excelled as a runner at CU. He lettered in cross country and indoor and outdoor track. He was a seven-time All-American, earning three of the honors in cross country and four in track.
His first honor on the track was in 1994 in the 1,500-meter run. The last three came during his senior season in 1996. He earned two All-American honors during the indoor season in the mile and the 3,000-meter run and earned the last of his honors in the spring of 1996 in the 5,000-meter run. In the same season, Culpepper set a record that still stands at CU in the 1,500-meter with a time of 3:39.77 and capped off his years at CU as the NCAA champion in the 5,000-meter run.
Culpepper's success at the University of Colorado was only a sign of what was to come. He turned pro after graduation and, unlike many professional athletes, decided to coach himself. He negotiated his own endorsement contracts and created his own training schedules and workouts.
The highlights of Alan's professional career came when he qualified for the Olympics on two separate occasions. He represented the United States in Sydney in 2000 and in Athens in 2004. Culpepper describes running in the Olympics as some of his most special memories.
"Making the first Olympic team was just incredibly special because it was a goal I wrote down when I was, like, 15 years old and it took 15 years to get there and accomplish that," Culpepper described. "Making that second Olympic team was special because I won the [Olympic] trials and I was able to put my name in the history books in that regard. Those two [memories] were the most unique just because there is so much build up to Olympic years and they only come every four years. Everything just has to come together on that particular day to make the team."
Culpepper finished 17th in the 10,000-meter run in Sydney and 12th in the marathon in Athens.
|Two-time Olympian Alan Culpepper has won seven US national titles.
Running at an elite level didn't come as a surprise to Culpepper. He wrote an essay in sixth grade about competing in the 2000 Olympics and pushed towards his goal throughout high school and college.
"It was ingrained in me by my high school coach who said I would be my best in 10 years," he explained. "All through college, through injuries and the ups and downs, I had the conviction that I'd be competing at a high level."
Although Culpepper says the Olympics are some of his best memories, he has a tremendous number of additional accomplishments to add to his resume, including being a seven-time U.S. champion throughout his professional career. When he began running the marathon in 2002, his time of 2:09.41 in Chicago tied him for the fastest American debut in U.S. history. In 2005, his fourth place finish in the Boston Marathon was the highest finish for an American in 20 years. The next year, he finished fifth in the Boston Marathon and won the Denver Half-Marathon.
Now, 16 years after he ran for CU, Culpepper runs purely for fitness. He stopped running competitively in 2008 and takes the time to enjoy life with his four children and wife, fellow Olympian and CU graduate and letterwinner, Shayne (Willie).
Although they had their children during the height of their careers, they never put running first. They take turns doing their daily workouts and when either of them crosses the finish line, the rest of the family is always waiting on the other side.
"That's one of the other benefits of being a professional athlete," Culpepper said in 2008. "We've been able to stay home a lot, spend a lot of time with our children."
Alan and Shayne have spent the last four springs leading an after-school running program at Boulder's Douglass Elementary School. Once a week in April and early May, they lead over 200 kids on a half-mile course around the school. Culpepper says he does it just to get kids out and running.
"By getting them out moving, [we are] hopefully changing their perception of what exercise is and that it doesn't have to be torture and it doesn't have to be punishment or only about weight management."
In 2010, Culpepper also began working for the Competitor Group, a company that puts on marathons around the country.
"I am one of the directors of operations and I get to design marathon courses and go into various cities and put on big, large-scale, world-class events." He is primarily in charge of designing many of the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon and Half-Marathon race courses.
Looking back on his career, Culpepper really has no regrets.
"Aside from a few things, I really accomplished more than I could have ever dreamt," he said. "It was pretty amazing."

Concealers for Undereye CirclesSkip the half-moon crescents that fool no one. The idea is to minimize circles and blend the edges into your own skin tone, not white them out completely. Apply eye cream first. Let it sink in, so concealer goes on smoother and blends more easily.Choose the right shade. Warm, golden nudes, pale yellows, even corals counteract gray circles. Use a detail brush all the way up to the lashline. Use more concealer than you think you need, then blend well; lock in with pale powder. We LikeEstee Lauder Prime FX Proconcealment Kit ($25) A yellow brightener, coral neutralizer, silicone primer for glide-on ease, and a setting powder. Great for dark lids and deep circles. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer To Go ($15) The pinker shade brings dark color up to skin tone; the yellowy shade adds warmth; and pressed powder keeps all in place. Paula Dorf Special Camouflage ($22) A rich coral cream primer that corrects extreme, nearly violet circles. Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder ($22) This sheer, undetectable powder with light reflectors sets concealer and eye makeup. Concealers for Tired-Looking Eyes Water retention, allergies, hormonal changes (again!) and gravity can contribute to red, puffy, droopy lids. As fat pads diminish, hollows form. How to cope: Let there be light! A sheer, light-reflecting tinted concealer brushed over the entire eye orbit, especially in hollows at inner and outer corners, gives tired eyes a fresher look. Go for the gold. Luminous beiges work for most women, but pale pink can counteract the effects of dim or fluorescent lighting. We LikeGuerlain Issima Precious Light Smoothing Illuminator ($42) In pearly pink, pale shimmery beige, and natural golden beige; great for blurring lines. Concealers for Breakouts Although most women find that slowed oil production and estrogen loss have a drying effect on skin, some continue to be plagued with occasional breakouts. The newest treatment concealers are cosmetically elegant for adult use. Use a green cream under foundation or concealer to reduce the inflammation of glaring breakouts. Use a fine-tipped detail brush on stand-alone blemishes. Paint the top and sides of each blemish with a thin coat of concealer; then re-dip the brush in powder to set. Don't aim for perfection; just minimize. We LikeSonia Kashuk for Target Hidden Agenda Concealer Kit ($10) A foursome of beiges and khaki — the ultimate solution for mature skin that starts behaving like a teenager's. Concealers for Red SplotchesIf you flush easily, have redness around the base of the nose, suffer from rosacea , or have postinflammatory pigmentation following a peel or laser treatment, a thick, semi-matte cream cover gives you the extra security you'd expect from foundation and powder, but without the heaviness.Be stingy. These pasty creams need to be used sparingly, and are best applied with fingers. Massage a dab between pads of fingers to liquefy slightly before tap-blending on with quick patting movements. Don't use self-tanner for camouflage. It will clash with the redness, not hide it. We LikeBenefit Galactic Shield! ($18) This automatic pencil treats breakouts with 2 percent salicylic acid. Clinique Airbrush Concealer ($19) Moisturizing cover that's perfect for hard-to-reach base of nose and nostril creases. Trish McEvoy's Even Skin Concealer ($32) Long-lasting and waterproof; sets in five minutes without a powder topcoat. Concealers for Brown SpotsIf large brown freckles or patches are reminders of suntans past, birth-control pills, or pregnancies, you have two options: Use a cream compact or stick foundation for broad areas (like cheeks) where you need a lot of coverage. Look for ones that are creamy and set to a satin, not matte, finish. They give you a natural look fast. Use foundation and matching concealer when you have multiple issues, like brown spots and red areas and broken capillaries. It gives you a more finished look, and lets you build coverage throughout the day. We LikeBecca Stick Foundation ($38) Velvety texture and a wow! choice of 35 shades.

Study Abroad Grows as Programs Diversify
In the 2011-2012 academic year, SIS offered a record number of undergraduate and graduate study abroad programs. As the programs expanded, student participation took a robust leap - increasing by more than a third over the last four years.
"SIS is at the forefront of internationalizing the graduate curriculum through study abroad," said Director of International Program Development Rebecca Bellinger. "Graduate students don't traditionally study abroad. Students going abroad through SIS earn academic credit to fulfill specific degree requirements. By designing programs and developing partnerships that complement the SIS curriculum, we enable students to get international experience without jeopardizing on-time degree completion. In this way, the SIS study abroad opportunities are internationalizing the graduate experience and coursework."
The opportunities for SIS students to enhance their educations abroad are increasing. New summer 2013 opportunities include a program in Cuba, an Indonesian addition to the long-running Malaysian program and partnerships with the Graduate Institute in Geneva and the Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy. Next fall, SIS will debut graduate semester abroad programs with the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto and the School of International Studies at Peking University.
Recently, new exchange programs have been established with the U.N.-affiliated University for Peace in Costa Rica (with which SIS offers a two-year dual degree in natural resources and sustainable development), and the American University in Cairo, which will diversify the SIS student population.
"Our students are globally-minded and service-oriented, and both the number of programs that we have and the number of students we send abroad reflect the students we attract to the school, and its ethos," said Bellinger. "Also, the school recognizes students want and need to study abroad in graduate education, and enables students to do so within the parameters of the curriculum."
Christina Phillips, SIS/MA '12, is a two-time veteran of SIS study abroad trips.
"Receiving credit was by far the most beneficial aspect of participating in the summer 2011 Ecuador and winter 2012 Cuba programs," she said. "They offered a way to learn topics relevant to my degree while bringing me closer to completing my program. Everything learned on the trip was seen and studied in context, leaving lectures and lessons ingrained in us, all while having a wonderful time."
Phillips is currently completing her Boren Fellowship in Fortaleza, Brazil, which involves an internship at a local NGO that organizes extracurricular activities for disadvantaged children, as well as a semester of political science classes at the Universidade Federal do Ceará.
"I could not speak enough on the importance of studying abroad for any student, especially one studying in the international relations, development or political science fields," said Phillips. "These topics are so intertwined and dependent on a solid understanding of the history, culture and society of a place. Studying abroad complements any field, broadening horizons and offering inspirational new perspectives on every aspect of life."

ZF-6218: Invalid chunk size in Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Socket problem with strlen
In some cases Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Socket fails to correctly read chunked answer from server. I figured out this on one server with PHP 5.2.5 (as I can remember). The problem was with strlen function - it returns not actual bytes in string and makes problem with reading chunk. I suggest to use ftell function instead of relying on strlen.
Here is my patch for Zend/Http/Client/Adapter/Socket.php (Zend Framework 1.7.8).
< $left_to_read = $chunksize;
< while ($left_to_read > 0) {
< $line = @fread($this->socket, $left_to_read);
> $read_to = ftell($this->socket) + $chunksize;
> while ($read_to > ftell($this->socket)) {
> $line = @fread($this->socket, $read_to - ftell($this->socket));
< $left_to_read -= strlen($line);
P.S. I know that PHP is binary safe but I can't explain error with strlen function (or fread?) on that server (it's not mine and with suhosin patch), but this patch works for me fine.
This is because mbstring.func_overload is in use, and the website contains multibyte characters. I cannot use Zend_Http_Client against any Chinese website, eg. www.google.cn.
Working on another patch...
Hmm needs a fix in ->getBody() of the response object too...
Patch to fix chunked encoding
To be more accurate, this happens when: - mbstring is loaded - mbstring.func_overload & 2 - mbstring.internal_encoding is a multibyte-encoding
This is pretty hard to reproduce for those who don't have that setup - but I've added some unit tests that catch this (given the right php.ini configuration) and will look into solving this. This is actually a bigger problem, and affects several other places in Zend_Http and Zend_Uri. It was solved for Zend_OpenId by implementing a dedicated strlen() wrapper (see Zend_OpenId::strlen())
Resolved in rev. 17041 along with another related issue in Http_Client.
BTW thanks for the ftell() idea - that worked well although I reduced the number of calls. I used mb_internal_encoding everywhere else, just to avoid the consecutive if() calls.
I set fix version . I find at SVN r17118 in 1.9 branch.

I found a wasp in one of my coffee cups about 1 hour ago. There was barely any coffee left but it had managed to get itself pretty much drenched in coffee. I took it out. Put it on a piece of paper and put a pile of sugar next to it. It started eating but it was in a pretty bad state. I came back half an hour later to check up on it and it had fallen down on the floor. It's state seemed to have worsened. Went from walking around to lying still and moving it's limbs.
What kind of damage did it suffer from the coffee and how would I go about maximizing it's chances for survival?

Winter Woodland Dessert Table (25 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
This table is my version of a winter wonderland, and I like to call it "Winter Woodland." It's very nature inspired, and includes birch bark, snowy and glittery silver branches, owls, birds, feathers, snowflakes, snowy pine cones, snow, and a mirrored table top to mimic ice. The color palette was kept mostly neutral to keep a soft, wintery feel to the whole thing, so I went with whites and creams with metallic silver, and a pop of light blue.
The dessert stands and display pieces were a big part of making the table look complete, so I went with milk glass and vintage clear glass pieces to represent snow and ice, and they worked out perfectly.
The main cake is hand painted with a birch bark effect, finished off with metallic silver feathers and a single light blue feather. I really loved the idea of feathers and snowflakes, so that theme continued through the desserts with snowflakes and feathers topping off mini cupcakes and french macarons.

Real cranberry offers you a natural way to support your dog's urinary tract health. Cranberries contain compounds called proanthocyanidins (PACs), thought to help stop certain bacteria from attaching to the inner lining of the bladder wall. Glycosaminoglycans, like glucosamine, are part of the defensive barrier lining the bladder. D-mannose is a type of soluble fiber that helps support the growth of the beneficial bacteria found in a normal, healthy digestive tract.
Cran Health combines these 3 ingredients in 2 scrumptious formats - chicken-flavored Chewable Tablets or cheese-flavored Soft Chewables. Both formats are easy to give and readily accepted by any size dog. Chewable Tablets for dogs and cats. Soft Chewables for dogs only.

A chiefly send-off
Henrico Fire Chief Edwin Smith retired Sept. 14 and received a surprise send-off from Henrico firefighters and county officials on his last day. Smith was greeted in the parking lot of the county's Public Safety building by several fire trucks, a ladder truck with an American flag flying and numerous members of the division, which he led for the past five years.
Smith spent 38 years with the division, beginning in May 1974 as a firefighter. He served in every suppression position as a firefighter and officer and advanced to serve as an inspector, investigator and later commander of the Fire Prevention section. A promotion to battalion chief and later chief of training for the division preceded his appointment to chief Aug. 18, 2007.
Smith is an active member of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, International Association of Black Professional Fire Fighters, Virginia Fire Chiefs Association and Central Virginia Fire and Arson Association. In 2010, he was appointed by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell to the Virginia Fire Services Board.

Aabaraki pays tribute to two legendary postmortem singer/songwriters, covering a Classic cover of a classic on The Pre-Release EP, available for free download here.
The Hathaway cover:
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/x7EsC1TMzrA" width="550" height="445" allowfullscreen="true" fvars="fs=1" /]
The John Lennon original:
[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/tPVhgFAoE5U" width="550" height="445" allowfullscreen="true" fvars="fs=1" /]
Comprised of four talented working musicians: Brian Forbes (guitar), Ari Folman-Cohen (bass), Aaron "BLACKDATA" Steele (Drums), and Aamir "Akie" Bermiss (vocals/keys), Aabaraki has been playing their own brand of reduction-stutter-funk together as a unit since the spring of '09. Separately, they have worked with an impressive range of musicians and producers including Roy Hargrove, Soulive, Patti Smith, The American Symphony Orchestra, Megahertz (Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, P. Diddy), and Jimmy Lenner (John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Donna Summer).
The current EP reveals a vulnerability ("Terrified," "Save Me") and predation ("Girl," "Big Bad Wolf") that's quite common among us humanfolk. Vocalist Aamir "Akie" Bermiss accomplishes this with keys-in-hand, and tongue-in-cheek as he channels the American Everyman. A reflection of our culture, Akie's creative use of satire is best exemplified halfway through the EP in the up-tempo "Big Bad Wolf:" 'Haters hate, players play, girl don't front on me just get undressed. Now you're free, follow me, to the deepest depths of desire.'
The band is funky, harmonic, minimal, and is consistent throughout the EP, each musician sticking closely to the sound of his instrument without relying on heavy effects that might alter it beyond recognition. They are retro but not throwback, progressive but not cold. In other words, Reduction-stutter-funk at its best. ☺
Aabaraki will be playing in NYC at Fontana's on September 9th and Rockwood Music Hall every subsequent Thursday. They are also working on a follow-up to The Pre-Release EP to be released in the fall. In the meantime, make sure you download the current project here.

second photo caption: ACL was designated a rock and roll landmark on October 1, 2009.
The Rock Hall's Landmark Series designates historic rock and roll landmarks around the United States that are essential to tell the story of rock and roll music.
There are currently nine sites including the Whisky-a-Go-Go in Los Angeles where the Doors were resident performers; King Records in Cincinnati, a prominent American record label started in the 40s, The Crossroads in Clarksdale, Mississippi and the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa . Five sites are located in the Cleveland area and include Brooklyn High School, the location Elvis played his first concert north of the Mason-Dixon line and WJW Radio, home to Deejay Alan Freed who popularized the term "rock and roll."
On Friday, October 2nd, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum made its 10th Landmark dedication at the studio of Austin City Limits in Austin, Texas. Now in its 35th year, the show is the longest-running music program on television. A number of Rock Hall staff traveled to Austin for the dedication.
You can see footage of the landmark dedication by clicking here.
ACL has presented a diverse and original array of artists over the years, from the Austin-based "cosmic cowboy" musicians to legends of country and rock and roll to indie bands. Thirty-two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees have taped episodes of ACL, including early Influences the Texas Playboys and Bill Monroe, rock and roll pioneers Ruth Brown, Fats Domino, and Roy Orbison and recent inductees R.E.M., Elvis Costello, and David Byrne.
As part of the dedication, we hosted two education panels that gave audiences an insider's view of the show. The panels were similar to the public programs we run here at the Museum like Songwriters to Soundmen and the Legends series. The first was with ACL staff: executive Producer Terry Lickona, producer Jeff Peterson, video director Gary Menotti, audio director David Hough, and associate producers Leslie Nichols and Emily Joyce. The panelists had a combined 150 years experience on ACL! They described their production philosophy: to create an exciting, original live show at the ACL studio with fantastic sound and simple staging and to convey the energy of that show to a television audience.
Country singer Vince Gill once said that ACL "is hip because they let musicians be musicians." The philosophy of the show is not to direct a performance, but to capture it. Artists perform a set rather than just a song or two, and the performance is edited down later. Artists are even given the option of mixing their own sound for the show.
The effect on the guests on our second panel–Martie Maguire and Emily Robison of the Dixie Chicks and Alejandro Escovedo was obvious–they have each performed on ACL three times. All three artists draw on roots music to create songs that break down the genres and niche markets that we sometimes put on music. Maguire and Robison remembered how they ended their 2006 Accidents and Accusations tour with an ACL taping that was "like coming home." Escovedo said that he didn't like doing television, but ACL felt like doing a club show. He performed the first theatrical piece put on by ACL, a production of By the Hand of the Father, which follows the story of a Mexican-American father through song and spoken word..
Jim Henke, the Rock Hall's Vice President of Exhibitions and Curatorial Affairs, provided context and historical perspective to the panel. As Jim pointed out, not only is ACL unique among other rock and roll shows because of the range of the music presented, but also because it emphasizes live performance. And no other music show has lasted so long and through so many changes in contemporary music.
Congratulations to Austin City Limits and thanks for the Texas hospitality. We look forward to future collaborations—look for an ACL photo exhibit and related public programming in 2010.

ZF-1429: Zend_Search_Lucene needs something to manage index security
Index files are created with default permissions now.
It looks like 660 mode is the best for default permissions (from safety point of view).
From the other side it should be index class property and there should be an API to change it.
Hi, I have patched the File/Filesystem.php file, allowing it to chmod the file it opens, when it is possible. It's working on my local box, but that's because I have manually forced me.apache as user.group in that directory. The me user launches the indexing proces as a batch script, while apache accesses it for searching. The patch makes ALL files under the chosen index path 0660, and maybe that's wrong, I am not that expert on this. I think it's pretty unharmful, after all. :)
Could you chek it up? Do you think it can work, or is it not generic enough?
Index: library/Zend/Search/Lucene/Storage/File/Filesystem.php
--- library/Zend/Search/Lucene/Storage/File/Filesystem.php (revision 5828) +++ library/Zend/Search/Lucene/Storage/File/Filesystem.php (working copy) @@ -61,6 +61,8 @@ if ($this->_fileHandle === false) { ini_set('track_errors', $trackErrors); throw new Zend_Search_Lucene_Exception($php_errormsg); + } else { + if (fileowner($filename) == posix_geteuid()) chmod($filename, 0660); }
ini_set('track_errors', $trackErrors);
Zend_Search_Lucene_Storage_Directory_Filesystem::setDefaultFilePermissions() and Zend_Search_Lucene_Storage_Directory_Filesystem::getetDefaultFilePermissions() methods may be used to manage files permissions.
Updating Fix Version to follow issue tracker conventions.
Please reconsider your thoughts on forcing the use of chmod.
In restrictive environments it is completely valid that a non-owner of the lucene index files has proper write permissions to write but still is not owner. And, as you're ware, chmod can only be issued by the owner of the files. Group ownership is not considered.
I would strongly advice to remove this patch in its entirety. Zend_Search_Lucene should not deal with permission in anyway itself. This should be left to the environment it is running in, and especially under Unix systems this is easily done by making sure the proper umask is set.
If this is not an option, please at least consider the ability to disable the call to chmod().
Here is an example scenario of mine: The index is created from a non www-data user. When I do this and access the index from within the web, I get
Error: chmod(): Operation not permitted in includes/Zend/Search/Lucene/Storage/Directory/Filesystem.php on line 189
0 includes/Zend/Search/Lucene/LockManager.php(85): Zend_Search_Lucene_Storage_Directory_Filesystem->createFile('read.lock.file')
1 includes/Zend/Search/Lucene.php(410): Zend_Search_Lucene_LockManager::obtainReadLock(Object(Zend_Search_Lucene_Storage_Directory_Filesystem))
2 includes/App/Search.php(252): Zend_Search_Lucene->__construct('/var/www/netcar...')
3 http/suche/index2.php(59): App_Search->search('milbe', 0)
4 {main}
However, there's actually no technical reason why a chmod() call is needed here. The permissions are completely fine as they're and it should not concern the web application that it is not the owner of some of the files. Still the write permissions to create the file are there.
We are on 1.0.2 and this is causing us all kinds of problems for exactly the same reasons Markus mentions.
There's no need to mess with the permissions I (a reasonably skilled admin) places on files. Because my apache process runs under a restricted user, searching needs to be able to read files created by another user (one who has proper access to writing those files).
As it stands we need to jump through many hoops to have this work at all.
This is also the case in version 1.0.4.
Re-opening as new bug: ZF-2779
Reopened issue [ZF-2779] is fixed.
