According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), cities are currently responsible for 67% of the energy-related GHG emissions, and this percentage will grow to 74% by 2030.2 The world's 50 largest cities annually emit GHGs equivalent to 26 billion tons of CO2 (tCO2e), a level comparable to being the world's third-largest emitter, following China and the United States.3 Addressing GHG emissions from urban activities is therefore a major concern in relation to climate change, and an issue that will become even more important in the future. 2) By 2030, urban populations are expected to double, with the built-up area of cities expected to triple.4 In emerging countries, including China and India, urban areas are expanding in keeping with economic growth and urbanization, and the construction of cities is rapidly advancing. If the buildings and infrastructure are built with conventional energy performance, current GHG emission levels would be locked-in over the decades to come. Therefore, the shift to low-carbon buildings and infrastructure in developing countries, especially in emerging countries, is an urgent issue for sustainable development and it should be the highest priority in promoting a green economy. 3) As places where people live, move about, and produce and consume, cities are locations of large-scale energy consumption. While efforts to reduce carbon emissions on energy supply side is certainly important, efforts on the demand side for a reduction in total energy consumption are also essential. The key to preventing global warming will be the minimization of energy demand and shifting all facets of human society ? houses, transportation infrastructure, factories, office buildings, commercial facilities and other facilities ? to low-carbon ones, and it is in cities that such facilities and activities are concentrated. Cities are the key to the climate change issue. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government?s Leading Actions 4) Recognizing the special characteristics of cities and the responsibilities that cities have in relation to the climate change issue, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for more than ten years has been implementing measures ahead of national-level climate change efforts. 5) Examples of activities include: Beginning with fiscal year 2002, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) has implemented the "Tokyo Green Building Program." Under this program, developers of new large-scale buildings must submit plans regarding environmental measures that will be implemented, including for CO2 reductions; these plans are evaluated and made public. Also beginning in fiscal year 2002, TMG has been implementing the "Tokyo CO2 Reduction Program," which requires existing buildings having large emissions of GHGs (such as factories, office buildings, and commercial facilities) to establish voluntary targets for CO2 reduction and to submit emission reduction plans. Under this program, a 12.7% reduction in emissions was achieved over the five-year period from FY 2005 through FY 2009. Following the introduction of this program in Tokyo, similar mandatory reporting program have so far been introduced in 35 other prefectures and major cities throughout Japan. ? In April 2010, TMG also launched a cap-and-trade program that mandates reductions in emissions of 6% or 8% for those large facilities above. This is the world's first city-level cap-and-trade program that covers office buildings and commercial facilities. Saitama Prefecture, which is adjacent to Tokyo, also launched a cap-and-trade program in April 2011, following Tokyo?s program. ? Tokyo's experience demonstrates that it is possible for cities to develop and implement their own low-carbon policies making use of regulations and market mechanisms. As a result of these efforts, a number of highly energy-efficient buildings have been built in Tokyo, and the city is ushering in an "era of green buildings." World Cities Taking the Initiative 6) Numerous cities around the world are undertaking a variety of measures to address climate change. At the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group Mayors Summit held in S�o Paulo in June 2011, 55 case studies were presented in 16 different fields, including (1) Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings, (2) Bus Rapid Transit and Low Emission Buses, (3) Tree Planting, (4) Integrated Waste Management, (5) Sustainable New Construction, (6) Compact Cities, (7) Public Engagement, (8) Renewable Energy for Urban Environment, (9) District Heating and Cooling, (10) Bicycle Infrastructure, (11) Adaptation and Vulnerability, (12) Landfill Gas Capture, (13) Smart Cities, (14) Green Taxis, (15)Green Industry, and (16) Urban Drainage. According to "Climate Action in Megacities,"6 a report presented at the C40 S�o Paulo Summit by the engineering and consulting firm Arup, in the cities participating in the C40 initiative ? home to 297 million people ? 4,734 actions have already been taken to address climate change, with an additional 1,465 new measures being developed. The Alternative Approach ? Let Cities Go First 7) While international climate change negotiations are currently making little headway, cities are moving ahead of national-level policies by proactively undertaking efforts to contribute to reducing GHG emissions. While national governments should continue their negotiations aimed at swiftly concluding a framework for addressing climate change, in the meantime GHG emissions continue to increase, and global warming is progressing. Therefore, in addition to the ongoing approach of seeking agreement among nation states, international society should take an ?Alternative Approach? to make cities go first with their low-carbon actions. Through demonstrating that low-carbon actions and economic growth can go hand-in-hand, progressive initiatives by cities can foster understanding among the governments and citizens of developing countries, thereby providing support for efforts to reach an international agreement. 8) Local governments have a special role. Because they work most closely with citizens and businesses, local governments are able to undertake tailored measures, such as calling directly on households and business entities to make lifestyle changes and undertake energy conservation; promoting environmental education; conducting on-site energy efficiency audits and providing energy conservation advice; along with other efforts. By having administrative authority in areas such as urban planning, transportation, water and sanitation and waste management, local governments are able to promote the "green economy" ? through advancing low-carbon projects in these various fields, and by making use of regulatory measures or market mechanisms that promote low-carbon consumption and investments. 9) During Japan's rapid economic growth era during the 1960s and 1970s, the TMG and other city governments were the first to institute measures to address the problems of pollution ? problems that were most pronounced in cities; these measures were later adopted at the national level. The solution to environmental problems requires bringing together the imperatives of the environment and the principles of economics, and Japan's history of addressing pollution illustrates how cities can lead this process, by serving as concrete examples of successful Implementation, which is effective in increasing understanding on the part of society as a whole. Cities? Cooperative Actions Lead the World 10) The TMG wishes to share with the cities of the world what it has learned so far in addressing climate change. We believe that promoting international cooperation ? assisting the cities of the world to take progressive actions and to learn from one another's experiences ? will lead to solutions to our global climate change challenges. However, accomplishing this will require the support of the international community for cooperative efforts among cities. 11) For these reasons, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government calls upon the international community to do the following: Through the Rio+20 process, conduct deliberations regarding urbanization and how to shift cities to low-carbon paths, as these are key issues related to the climate change issue. The Rio+20 outcome document should clearly spell out the important role played by cities and local governments, and should promote the "Alternative Approach" that makes cities go first. International organizations and international financial institutions should develop programs to help share and disseminate the innovative efforts on the part of cities and local governments, and should financially support international city-to-city cooperative activities. New governance structures for sustainable development should enhance the role of local governments. 12) This past summer, Tokyo was able to overcome a severe power shortage which occurred as a result of the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. By making use of energy conservation measures involving businesses and households that had previously been put in place, Tokyo was able to achieve an 18% reduction in peak energy demand compared to the previous year, allowing the city to deal with the summer peak demand period without the occurrence of any unplanned power outages. Moreover, this crisis has fundamentally transformed the consciousness of the people of Japan concerning energy; efforts on the part of citizens and businesses to promote energy conservation and renewable energy are now gaining pace. The movement in Japan toward a low-carbon society has received a strong boost. Tokyo will continue to step up its efforts to become a low-carbon city, and we hope to become a sustainable city that can be a model for the world.

Hi, I am currently trying to have one NXT and two RCX's communicate with each other. Right now, I am thinking of a daisy chain, where two sensor ports are used (data line and clock line) and using the NXT as a master with serial transfer. The clock line will be on the first port/sensor and the data line will be on the second port/sensor. In order to make it work, I will have to emulate some things in software, so I have a few questions =)
1) How fast can the NXT and RCX switch threads (millisecond wise)?
2) How fast can the NXT and RCX activate/passivate a sensor? Do the methods block or return instantly?
3) Is it even possible to do what I'm thinking? =P
Many thanks!

Posted by Native NYker in malik richmond, rape, sexual assault, steubenville high school, trent mays on December 30, 2012
Here is one that has us sitting on a fence scratching at our heads attempting to figure out which side to fully get behind – something we are not altogether familiar with… Malik Richmond and Trent Mays – Steubenville High School football players, are at the center of alleged rape charges and overall sexual misconduct with an overly inebriated 15-year-old girl from West Virginia, reports The NY Times.
The duo are being charged as youths for taking sexual liberties with said girl while transporting her from party to party and, at times, throughout the evening, sexually violating her all the while in plain sight of cohorts, while brazenly documenting their acts on cell phone captured videos and photographs.
Outrageous, no? But hardly a new phenom in the age of social media.
We say we are 'on the fence' as, after reading above linked article, among other materials HERE, there seems to a compounded series of actions lacking any level of common sense by all parties involved. Starting with the mention of fetes being hosted by coaching staff for their players post games. Actions which the town is allegedly aware of…
We are also on the fence due to the fact that young men would be willing to take advantage of a girl who is otherwise unable to convey lucid consent to sexual activities is from anything new. Movies are made and countless stories written about such – time and again.
That supposed dozens of spectators traversed the scene and did nothing to intervene is also of no great shock. Peer pressure is as old as time. A sad state of affairs but its the ugly truth.
We also remain troubled in that this 15-year-old would throw herself into harms way by consuming enough alcohol to pass out and be sexually violated in plain sight of spectators. This act bares asking the simple question of 'how could you be so stupid!' Quickly to be followed up by 'where were your (supposed) friends?'
We have been privy to many a similar circumstance where we have had to play sitter to overly indulgent amigos and have had to keep them from waking up to some large regret at the hands of folks flippantly acting out on opportunity presenting itself. People aren't all good at heart – that is just a myth.
We don't however understand how folks don't come forward to fill in the missing parts of this story… Because of all we've read there seems to be as many missing pieces as the victims memory post midnight.
Like for instance: was she being supplied with continuous alcohol by these jocks or was she willingly pursuing refills of her own accord. And where were her friends she attended the party with or did she in fact attend on her lonesome?
Don't get it twisted, y'all. We don't condone in any shape, way or form the taking advantage of anyone who isn't in control of some faculty. We just don't see the fun in that AT ALL. But as culpable as Richmond and Mays are – not to mention their entourage – this girl bares a smidge of responsibility all her own that no amount of blame can erase.
Unidentified source is calling for culprits to identify themselves prior to a January 1st deadline where they will divulge names, addresses, SS #'s et al of those culpable.

Denver - The University of Colorado soccer team has had a wild non-conference ride in the 2012 season. For the second time at the DU Invitational, the Buffs got on the board with an own goal. Sunday against Cincinnati, it was the determining shot, leading the Buffs to a 2-1 victory at CIBER Field at University of Denver Soccer Stadium.
At 4-1-2 this season, the Buffs have already tied last season's win total. Cincinnati drops to 3-3-1 with two losses this weekend. Captain Amy Barczuk and junior Hayley Hughes were named to the All-Tournament team.
"We played well today," head coach Danny Sanchez said. "We created more chances in this game than we have all season."
CU was hungry after Friday's 4-1 loss to Denver, outshooting Cincinnati 25-9 and forcing 12 saves in Sunday's win.
The Buffs came out with a vengeance in the first half. Junior Hayley Hughes rushed down the field to smash the ball in the first 25 seconds, but Cincinnati goalkeeper Kristina Utley was fast on the save.
"Their goalkeeper had a great game," Hughes said. "She had a lot of saves. It was unfortunate, but thankfully we got a few to drop. It was a good game."
CU kept up the fast-paced offensive pressure for the majority of the half, with Colorado outshooting Cinci 14 to four. The Buffaloes had nine shots on goal in the first half against the Bearcats, compared to just eight in the entirety of Friday night's game against Denver.
In the eighth minute Annie Brunner sent the ball flying down to the midfield. Olivia Pappalardo headed the ball to Hayley Hughes who broke away to scored her first goal of the season.
"As a striker, that first one she probably should have had it, but she didn't hang her head," Sanchez said. "At the end of the day, the important thing is we score goals ... I think it really showed some growth in her as an attacker and as a player. She's always going to be dangerous."
The Buffs continued to have some great looks on the goal, forcing Utley to save the ball seven times in the first 45 minutes. Stuller had three shots on goal, coming close to breaking away with 22 minutes remaining.
As the clock ticked closer to halftime, Cincinnati gained momentum. At 39:23, Lauren Hettinger took a corner kick that went deeper than CU's defense, allowing Megan Cravenor to net one in from 10 yards.
"There definitely was a defensive miscommunication," Bianca Jones said. "It started before when we didn't get our keeper out. We've been working on defense all year long, so we'll get better.
Amy Barczuk took a free kick in the closing minutes that went high, sending the game into the break tied at 1-1.
The second half was a tough fight for both teams. CU continued to make Utley work in the box. Stuller took some strong shots in the first 15 minutes of the second, including a hard-hit strike in the first three minutes that was saved to the left.
Quinn Krier continued her dominance as the Buffs' corner kicker, nearly leading one in off a header by Barczuk.
Cincinnati got a few more looks in the second half, with Brunner punching the ball away for her third save, but CU kept most of the pressure near the Bearcats' net. With 15 minutes remaining, Lauren Shaner rushed down the right side, passing it to Emily Paxton near the net. A Cinci defender tried to block a CU presence, but sent the ball in her own goal.
For the second time in the DU Invitational, the Buffs scored off an own goal. CU has only scored three times off of own goals. The first occurred in 2004 against Wake Forest, and the most recent was in 2009 in an 8-1 win against St. Mary's College.
CU gained momentum after the own goal shake-up, but neither team would score in the closing minutes.
"I think we deserved this one," Hughes said.
Colorado closes out its non-conference schedule with a Wyoming homecoming for head coach Danny Sanchez and assistants Jason Green and Don Trentham. The Buffs face the Cowgirls on Friday, Sept. 14 at 4 p.m. in Laramie, Wyo.
Your CU Soccer team will return to Prentup Field on Sunday, Sept. 16 when they take on Air Force. The game starts at 1:00 p.m., and the Buffs are encouraging fans to ride their bicycles to the field. The first 100 fans who "Pedal to Prentup" will receive a FREE CU t-shirt. Admission and parking are free so grab your family and friends for a bike ride to Prentup Field and help cheer on the Buffs!

Fire danger high in Volusia-Flagler from dry, hot temperatures
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 11:56 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 8:41 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH -- State officials have issued a "Red Flag Fire Alert" for Wednesday, meaning the fire danger is forecast to be very high.
The alert was issued by the Florida Forest Service and comes as near-record high temperatures are forecast along with high winds. Temperatures are expected to approach highs in the mid-80s, cooling down to the 50s Wednesday night, according to the National Weather Service.
Red flag alerts are issued when conditions are windy and the humidity is low. It is dangerous to burn trash or have other open fires, which could lead to brush fires.
The Keetch-Byram drought index is averaging 464 in Flagler County, up six points Wednesday from the day before; in Volusia it's 568, up five points. The index runs 0 to 800, with 800 indicating desert-like conditions.
A fire in Barberville threatened homes this week after a prescribed burn in northwestern Volusia got out of control. Residents of six homes were told to evacuate but no structures were lost and no one was hurt.

Welcome: Lions clubs come together to meet officials
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 4:22 p.m.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's day.
After a 15 year break, I decided to give contact lenses another try. Since I love 3D movies, this seemed like a good idea. It is really not fun to wear two pair of glasses when watching a movie. Fortunately, putting in contacts is like riding a bike. You never forget.
I was able to easily put in and take out the contacts. I opted for the one-day disposable kind since I will only put them in occasionally, mainly when I go to the theater. The hope is that my eyes will continue to tolerate them well. With disposables, I do not think it will be a problem.
Welcome Lions met with West Lexington Lions Club this week for the official visit from District Gov. Tim Williams from the Linwood Lions Club. Williams had an informative and inspiring program for both clubs.
Welcome Lions members have tickets for the country style steak dinner for $10. The dinner is from 5 until 7 p.m. April 13 at Center United Methodist Church in Welcome. All tickets are pre-sold and are available from any member, NewBridge Bank in Welcome or Bank of North Carolina in Welcome.
The Lions encourage the public to continue to collect old glasses, hearing aids, cell phones, computer cartridges and Campbell UPC codes.

Volleyball Pushes 14th-Ranked Loyola To Limit, Falls In Five-Set Marathon
Playing without the reigning EIVA Newcomer of the Year Cody Kessel and starting two freshmen, the Princeton volleyball team nearly knocked off its third ranked opponent of the season. Despite leading 14th-ranked Loyola 2-1 after a third-set thriller, Princeton fell to the Ramblers in five sets.
Junior Pat Schwagler led Princeton with 20 kills, while freshman outside Devin Stearns added 16, but Loyola held its home court with a 25-27, 25-22, 27-29, 25-16, 15-9 victory to move to 13-8 overall. Princeton, which completes its short Midwestern trip at No. 7 Lewis Tuesday night, fell to 8-5 with the loss.
The Tigers jumped on Loyola early in the first set, racing out to a 7-2 lead after a 5-0 run on Schwagler's serve. Loyola chipped away and saved three set balls before Schwagler finished the set with a kill. After Loyola used a 7-0 run in the second to help earn a 25-22 win, the Tigers bounced back with a strong third set. A combo block by setter Davis Waddell and middle Will Siroky gave Princeton a 21-17 lead, and a Schwagler kill built the advantage to 24-20.
Again, Loyola bounced back and took the next four points. The Ramblers actually served a game ball at 27-26, but a Stearns kill and a hitting error set up Princeton with its sixth set ball, and Siroky made sure this one would count.
The Tigers were one set away from matching the 1998 Princeton team as the only one to defeat three ranked teams in one season, but Loyola would be the stronger team in the final two sets. Less than a week after its upset of MIVA rival Lewis, the Ramblers closed both the fourth and fifth sets on 9-2 runs to clinch the win.
Waddell had 49 assists for Princeton, while sophomore libero Tony Ensbury had 10 digs for the Tigers. Both Siroky and co-captain Michael Dye had four blocks apiece, while freshman Zach Shaw had six kills, six digs and three blocks.

Amtrak station needed
Published: Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 3:46 p.m.
Editor: The one disappointing event of 2012 is the way that (the City of Lexington) treated the Lexington Chops collegiate baseball team and the owners, Thomas and Darlene Eaton. So I guess they will be playing in Winston-Salem when the 2013 season opens this summer. The good ole boys system is alive and well here with the city and the American Legion.
This letter is a reflection and one of a hopeful vision for Lexington and its future. Now that (the city) has sealed the fate of Lexington and its ability to welcome a baseball team to enhance our city's sports and recreational opportunities, I hope 2013 will see Lexington's effort to bring Amtrak services here to our downtown Depot District (succeed).
I work in Charlotte at the Charlotte Douglas Airport. Due to our car breaking down, I had to be creative to find a way to work. I am now commuting to Charlotte from Salisbury four days a week. There is a 2:08 p.m. train from Salisbury stopping in Kannapolis then on to Charlotte arriving at 3 p.m. At 3:15 there is a CATS bus that pulls up to the entrance of the Amtrak station and in about 13 minutes arrives at the CAT Transportation Center on Trade Street beside the Epicenter and across the street from Time Warner Arena. I then take the Sprinter bus to the airport. Round-trip train ticket cost is $19/21 and the bus ride is $2.
I get off work around 11 p.m. so catching the return trip to the train station gets me back to the train station around midnight. I return back to Salisbury leaving Charlotte about 1:46 arriving in Salisbury at 2:30 a.m.
The sooner Lexington can make this Amtrak station a reality the better because having such a station will attract supporting business opportunities, restaurants, maybe a hotel and new development ideas. It will be great opportunities for people of all ages to travel to visit families, vacation, jobs, and colleges, also sports events from Atlanta to New York City. And importantly it will welcome visitors to discover Lexington and attract individuals and young families looking for a great place that offers such a facility.
This along with the long overdue and planned recreation center will be great attractions for Lexington quality of life amenities.

It is kind of sad that they decided to joke and say "drink a bottle of bleach lol!". She already did have a lot of torment, it's pathetic she still is.

Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."

"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
And why is it their right to say these things?
For a boy who loves Stalanism and Communism you sure seem to be against most of it's stances on things.
Freedom of Speech is a privilege, not some God given right. If you can't use it with some respect for what it is you shouldn't have it at all imo.
God gave me the right to free speech on pokedream forums
Its probably because of American propaganda, but I really do feel that freedom of speech is universal no matter what. Part of this belief lies in the notion that our founding fathers and other men in the revolution, did not have some sort of eloquent discourse for their problems. No, they were pretty inflammatory and actually, they were the minority, its thought that only 1/3 of Americans during the revolution actually supported it. Under that revolutionary premise I think I am in my right as an American to say whatever crazy ass shit I can, because I can.
I do realize that's pretty American centric logic, but it is how I feel.
Yes but for the most part you don't go around making public statements about raping and murdering little girls who hundreds of people took to the streets to find when she was abducted. There are certain people who should not be allowed freedom of speech because they use it to deliberately prey on people who've just had a tragic event happen.
Britain doesn't really take freedom of speech as seriously as America. We really hold it as the absolute most important thing in our system. There was another free speach thing going on in England a few weeks ago. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news...-1226494427909
There's trolls, but this is nothing new on the internet (see an hero). The real outrage here is out people seem to be putting a lot of publicity into Amanda Todd's death, even though there are many more suicide victims who by far were less fuck-ups than Amanda Todd. For christ's sake look at the images on the page you linked:
Or here's a great one that just popped up on my facebook newsfeed
The basic idea being that there were by far more horrible suicides out there for much worse reasons, and the only reason Amanda Todd is getting so much publicity is because she's hot (NOT because she made a video, there are dozens, if not hundreds of suicide videos circulating online by different people). That's why there's such a hate-boner for thsi girl right now, because through some strange twist of fate she's become more of an attention-whore in death than she was in life.

In his autobiography, entitled Wins, Losses, and Lessons, (1) Coach Lou Holtz recounts two incidents in his senior year of high school which were a turning point in his life. In the first incident, Lou's high school coach visited his parents and urged them to send him to college to earn a degree so that he could become a football coach. The coach explained to them that Lou had a special gift for learning and teaching football and that he would excel in that profession. This came as a shock to Lou's parents.

ZF-6995: Zend_config : toArray conflict with iterator implements.
Function "toArray()" is created with a foreach on "_data". Interface "iterator" is implemented with : "next($this->_data)" and others functions of iterator directly on "_data".
My problem is function "toArray()" which is in conflict with the iterator interface. For fix that , we must create a clone of object and after we can use "toArray()".
But function "toArray()" should be NOT in conflict with iterator ?
For me, the problem is not "toArray()" but the implement of "Iterator". And is just when we want used "toArray()" AND iterator in same time on same object.
This problem could be apply to all classes with iterator and "toArray()". But I don't know if it's a usage problem or a bug.
Nicolas CHOTIN.
Would you mind providing the code you're using along with the results you're getting and the results you are expecting?
Foreach() uses the array directly and thus, the internal array iterator and not Zend_Config's iterator.
Could you provide a use case ?
Hi I was put in a similar situation. toArray breaks iteration. At between before and after toArray, a behavior of valid and current is amusing.
Here is repro-code
$config = new Zend_Config(array(1,2,3));
var_dump($config->valid()); // true
var_dump($config->current()); // int(1)
$dummy = $config->toArray();
var_dump($config->valid()); // true
var_dump($config->current()); // false
2nd sample should be " not valid " or "valid? int(1)"
One Solution is clone $this->_data before "foreach($this->_data" In Zend_Config::toArray() .
In my case it's a controller for testing. I have create a config file with a "value" for config and a "value" for testing :
test.c1.regexp = ^/index/test test.c1.test = /index/test test.c2.regexp = ^/index/test1 test.c2.test = /index/test1
The initialization of object is in loop of tests, because this object is initialized only when used. But in real context we don't have a loop on same object "Zend_Config".
So for me it's a usage problem but it's interesting to add a warning in documentation mostly if Zend_Config it's not alone class in this case.
Ok I see.
toArray() works directly on the _data array, and so does the iterator. When calling toArray(), a foreach loop is used to iterate throught _data, that foreach loop first calls rewind() internaly , and then iterates. The problem is that the foreach loop leaves the array iterator at an undefinied position (that's why rewind() is called by foreach before the iteration). Then when you call current() on your object, it just says it doesn't have a current value.
$config = new Zend_Config(array(1,2,3));
$config->rewind(); // rewound
$config->toArray(); // the internal iterator is somewhere after the last position due to foreach loop
assert($config->current() == false); // OK
To see that, create a getIndex() method in Zend_Config, which return $_index; and try this :
$config = new Zend_Config(array(1,2,3));
$config->rewind(); // rewound
$config->toArray(); // the internal iterator is somewhere after the last position due to foreach loop
assert($config->key() == $config->getIndex()); // WRONG , $config->key() returns NULL while getIndex() has the right value
The patch is easy, trigger the internal PHP copy-on-write system to make foreach loop over a copy of the _data array, and not the real _data. Just add :
public function toArray()
$array = array();
+ $data = $this->_data;
foreach ($this->_data as $key => $value) {
if ($value instanceof Zend_Config) {
$array[$key] = $value->toArray();
} else {
$array[$key] = $value;
return $array;
Even not using the new $data variable created, it increments the internal refcount on the _data structure, making foreach use a copy of it ;-)
Fancy writing a unit test and then patching?
I'm on it
Fixed in SVN r16090

I just finished building an MP5-40 parts kit on a Vector V89-40 reciever. When I finished up and went to the range to do the shakedown run, I couldn't get it to feed. At all. When I drop the bolt, the round starts to feed forward, but it doesnt start to funnel into the chamber. Instead, it feeds straight forward out of the mag into the side of the barrel at the breachface. This happens with enough force to mash the bullet back into the case 1/16" to 1/8". At first I thought that maybe I was sold the wrong magazine with this kit, but after doing some research I understand that the 40, 10 and 357 MP5's all take the same mag. (My mags are both no name black plastic things.)
I looked at a factory Vector the other day. The feed ramp (or maybe more rightly called the "feed funnel") was opened up a little wider than on my barrel. I want to make sure there are no other options before I start taking material off the barrel. Any suggestion where to start?

By law, John Maronto has the right to coach his Mainland high school football team despite his recent arrest.
By ethical standards, John Maronto shouldn't be anywhere near a sideline right now.
Maronto told the Orlando Sentinel earlier this month the "truth would come out " and on Monday, the truth did come out. Volusia County prosecutors released video and audio of Maronto's September 4th arrest for the intent to solicit prostitution as part of a police sting resulting from complaints from business owners and citizens of "street-level prostitution."
The evidence leaves no gray area. Maronto wanted something from another woman, not named Mrs. Maronto, on a street corner and, to his misfortune, she turned out to be an undercover cop.
Does this make him a terrible person? No. One egregious decision shouldn't wipe out almost 70 years of good decisions.
But this does signal a serious character flaw in Maronto, one that happened to lead to an illegal activity, and it's worth him stepping away from football for a moment to examine.
The only problem is the school doesn't have the authority to punish a teacher or coach with pending charges unless he or she poses an immediate threat to students. School authorities determined Maronto wasn't a threat and deemed him eligible to coach, but have the right to change their stance since new evidence has been released.
Though it's doubtful school officials will revoke Maronto's coaching privileges, he should step up as a leader and voluntarily step aside as Mainland's football coach for now.
Maronto is facing bigger fights than stopping option offenses and blitzes. The choices he's made recently have hurt his family and been a source of distraction for his team.
A few years ago, the Sentinel published a series about high school football state champions and Mainland's 2003 team was featured.
The article, written by Buddy Collings, talked about the players' willingness to be leaders. They told coaches not to worry about discipline as team captains would determine how many laps players would run for being late to practice. They had Fellowship of Christian Athlete meetings on Thursday nights followed by player-only meetings.
"Growing up, you heard about Mainland guys that had the ability but didn't want to work or be coached," said former player Reubin Mordecai. "Our thing was, 'Let's do it the right way. Let's buy into what the coaches say.'"
Their message was about accountability. Something they learned from their coaches, including Maronto.
Taking responsibility is the hallmark of a good leader and that is something Maronto once did, but somehow has lost sight of in the haze of this debacle.
He still has an opportunity to be a good coach. But he'd be a great one for stepping away and teaching his athletes about doing the right thing even when and, especially when, you're not being forced to.

PCC in the News
News: Men's Track and Field Score 3 Sprint Titles At SCC Finals, Take 3rd
The Pasadena City College men's track and field team may have only matched last year's third place finish at the South Coast Conference Prelims/Championships, but the reality is that the 2013 team has greatly improved in the sprint events.
PCC took third place with 140.5 points at the event held April 23 (prelims) and April 26 (finals) at Mt. San Antonio College. Cerritos (259.5 points) won the conference title while Mt. San Antonio was second (221).
The Lancers were led by a trio of champions Friday in Christian White, who won the 400 meter title at 47.60 seconds, Vivaswan Shetty, who grabbed the 200 meter title in 21.37, and Khaleel Green, who captured the 400 hurdles gold medal with his 54.36 mark. Caleb Wood won his second title of the meet when he took gold in the discus with a top throw of 145 feet, 7 inches. In all, the Lancers produced five conference champions.
White, who had held the top state mark at 47.44 performed at the Pasadena Games, is now No. 5 in the state rankings. He is only .12 of a second behind current leaders De'Shon Norris of Fullerton and Sacramento City's Jesse White (each 47.32).
Shetty (pictured) climbed to No. 9 in the 200 rankings while Green is 16th in a very tough field of 400 hurdlers.
Te'von Mitchell came up with his season-best time of 14.68 seconds to place third in the 110-meter hurdles. However, Mitchell is right in the mix in top state times, now at seventh. Shetty, a sophomore, placed third in the 100 dash with a PCC season best 10.84 seconds, but is not among the leaders (31st in state).
In the 4x400 relay, PCC was edged at the wire by Mt. SAC, 3:14.31 to the Lancers' season top mark of 3:14.60. Pasadena is now No. 5 in the state thanks to the racing of Bryant Johnson, Chineek Favors, Kameron Burch and White.
The Lancers raced a 2013 best in taking second in the 4x100 relay at 41.37 seconds (now No. 8 in the state, fifth in the region). Derrick Shepherd, Favors, Johnson and Keiton Winston ran the race. PCC has several options for the relay with Shetty now holding the Lancers' top 100 time and Shepherd right behind him at 10.88.
In the high jump, sophomore Steven Williams would be likely a conference champion in any other league but the South Coast. He placed second with a leap of 6-feet, 7.5 inches behind state leader and conference champ Adam Aguirre of Cerritos (6-9.5). Williams' best is 6-9 set a week earlier at the Beach Invitational while Aguirre's is a state best 6-9.75. The two will keep their rivalry going into SoCal and state.
"The big surprise for us was Shetty, who came up with two great sprints and shocked the field in the 200," PCC head coach Larry Wade said. "We're a bit of a mystery too when it comes to which one of our sprinters is going to come up with an exceptional race in any given meet. Christian White has been pretty consistent in the 400. Our relays will have to get better if we have any chance of getting a medal in those races at SoCal or state."
The Lancers take part in the Southern California Prelims on Saturday, May 4 at Antelope Valley College. Field events begin at 9 a.m. and track events start at 11:10 a.m.

Back in March the Sun Devil men's golf team had a visit from an alum while they were playing in the San Diego Intercollegiate.
Congrats to Lefty on his fifth major win!
Some thing to know about Phil (many of them you might have read elswehere).
--Who doesn't love family photos? We got you covered, thanks to these shots straight from Mom Mickelson's camera.
--When he watched the Sun Devils in San Diego, he saw freshman John Rahm win the San Diego Intercollegiate.
--Ever wonder just how good he was in college? Well here is his Sun Devil bio that shows each of his 16 wins.
--According to ESPN, he is the oldest player to win a major (43 years old) since Ben Crenshaw at the 1995 Masters (also 43).
Arizona State senior Phil Mickelson walks on the campus during a 1991 SI photo shoot: pic.twitter.com/oDmUfrLf— Andy Gray (@si_vault) May 11, 2012
--Here are his five majors victories: the 2004 Masters, 2005 PGA Championship, 2006 Masters, 2010 Masters, 2013 British Open.
--Brother Tim is the men's coach at Arizona State, and boy did they ever have a great season. The Sun Devils were the nation's most improved team.
--Phil had a 72.14 stroke average in his freshman season of 1988-89. How good was Jon Rahm this year? Jon had a 71.37 stroke average.
--Phil won three NCAA titles in 1989, 1990 and 1992. He is one of the five Sun Devils to have won the six NCAA individual titles.

Morpho Butterfly
The amazing biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest guarantees sights of strange and beautiful creatures like the Morpho butterfly every time you go for a hike. You can walk along the same trail every day for a week and see different birds, insects, and animals every single time. This is the general rule because although there are hundreds of species of plants and animals, each individual species tends to be naturally rare. Another reason why you keep seeing different animals in the same area is due to their camouflage. That large tree frog seen on Tuesday was just overlooked on Monday, thousands of katydids blend into the surrounding vegetation, and that White-fronted Nunbird or Broad-billed Motmot was only seen because it decided to fly from one perch to another.
There are hundreds of camouflaged creatures in the rainforest but there are also quite a few birds and insects with stunningly beautiful colors. The deep red belly of the Black-tailed Trogon shouts for attention, the Paradise Tanager seems to sport every color in the rainbow, and many butterflies look like flying jewels. One type of butterfly in particular never fails to capture the attention of anyone who sees it. Blending camouflage with beauty, big Morpho butterflies look like bright flashes of blue as they lazily flutter through the lower levels of the forest.
There are around 80 species of Morpho butterflies that brighten tropical habitats from Mexico south to Paraguay. Several species occur in the rainforests of Tambopata and you can't miss them when they are flying around. Resembling surreal flashes of blue light as they flap along a stream or forest gap, you may think that you saw a bird or just imagined the experience.
Some interesting facts about Morpho butterflies:

As I understand it, the main difference between the Bacteria and the Eucaryota domains are that eukaryotes have a nucleus and bacteria don't. I understand that bacteria and archaebacteria have enough of a genetic difference to be separate kingdoms, but why are they separate domains?
The reason that Archaea were determined to be a separate (and only the third) kingdom so late (1977 according to this reference) was because archaea often completely resemble eubacteria. They are unicellular and have no organelles and appropriately they were grouped with other prokaryotes because of their morphology and cellular physiology.
But by the 1970s phylogeny becoming based on the sequence of DNA and RNA which were just becoming more available. Based on a simple comparison of the sequences of 18S rRNA of 13 fungi, bacteria and archaea, Woese and Fox showed that the bacteria and the archaea were about as different from the eukaryotes than from the bacteria. (see table 1).
Since then, the differences between bacteria and archaea have continued to be great. The wikipedia diagram below is not to scale- the divergence of the three kingdoms is so far back that they pre-date the emergence of eukaryotes entirely. But you can see that fungi and other eukaryotes are more similar to archaea than the bacteria.
BTW, the idea that archaea are extremophiles is not entirely true - they are pretty much exclusively the only kingdom found in these conditions, but archaea have been found to coexist with bacteria and eukaryotes in the open sea and their detection heretofore in most environments may be only due to the fact that archaea are difficult to grow in the lab.
Just found this retrospective from Woese himself, who passed away recently.

|Women win Buc Scoring Invite
SPOKANE, Wash. – A partial group of University of Idaho track and field athletes opened the outdoor season on Saturday with eight individual wins at the Whitworth Buc Scoring Invitational.
Vandal women claimed five top places and won the team scoring portion of the meet with 99.5 points, while the Idaho men won three times and scored 58 points to finish second.
Idaho's travel squad consisted mainly of field athletes with a handful of runners mixed in, and Idaho head track and field coach Julie Taylor said she liked the way the team handled the chilly conditions and opened the season on a positive note.
"I thought everybody did well coming off spring break and all the weather after that," Taylor said. "We have a ways to go, but for it being the start of the season, it went well."
Freshman Johanna Hocketstaller stood out on the women's side as the winner in the women's javelin at 132-1 (40.26m). She also finished second overall and was the top collegian in both the shot put, at 44-9.75 (13.66m), and in the discus throw, at 147-2 (44.86m).
"Johanna was pretty amazing today," Taylor said. "Her first outdoor meet as a Vandal was very impressive. She's a multi-event girl, so she's pulled all over the place and hasn't really had a ton of focus on the throws yet, but she's a very exciting athlete to watch."
Also in the throws, senior Gabby Midles and sophomore Kyle Rothwell won the women's and men's hammer events, respectively. Midles hit 174-0 (53.04m) to win her event, while Rothwell won the men's event with a career-best 180-8 (55.07m).
On the men's side, junior Jason Lorentz and senior Rendel Jones were Idaho's other two winners in the jumps. Lorentz went 21-11.5 (6.69m) in the long jump, while Jones won the triple jump with a best mark of 45-1.5 (13.75m).
A pair of Vandal sophomore women competed in new events on Saturday and both came away with victories. Emily Paradis made her 2012 debut after redshirting the indoor season and won the women's 3000m steeplechase in 11:31.60.
Sophomore Cait Rowland picked up the 60m high hurdles during the indoor season and earned Second-Team All-Western Athletic Conference honors. She made her outdoor debut in the high hurdles on Saturday and posted a 15.37 running into a headwind to claim the individual title.
In a women's long jump event that faced a headwind from start to finish, Idaho junior Alyssa Covington leapt 17-8.25 to claim the win and round out Idaho's winners on the day.
Sophomore Andrey Levkiv had the big personal-best mark of the day with his second-place toss of 53-7.75 (16.35m) in the shot put, which is a career-best toss by more than a three-foot margin.
Three Vandals made record-book entries during the meet, led by sophomore Ugis Svazs in the men's javelin. Svazs finished second with a toss of 209-11 (63.98m) and moved into fifth all-time at Idaho. Matt Sullivan, who set an Idaho freshman record during the indoor season with a best of 16-2 in the pole vault, jumped into a tie for 10th all-time at Idaho with a vault of 15-7 (4.75m). Hocketstaller's mark of 132-1 in the javelin is also 10th-best in Idaho women's history.
"That was great," Taylor said of the marks. "Ugis hasn't had a chance to compete yet, so it was great to get out, compete and get a solid start. We have some things we're going to work on, but that's a solid mark for him."
A large group of Vandals will be back on the same track next weekend for the Sam Adams Classic, while another smaller group will be at Austin, Texas, for the Texas Relays.
