Daily read-outs from the Conference Secretary-General for the Spokesperson's noon briefing
21 June 2012Today, the second day of the Conference continues with statements from Heads of State and Government and Heads of Delegations in the Plenary, in the High-level Round Tables, as well as side events. As of yesterday evening, approximately 50 speakers addressed the Plenary. They expressed their support for the outcome document to be adopted by the plenary at its concluding meeting and further stressed the importance of effective follow up. Many announced specific commitments and initiatives. During the four Round Tables, Heads of State and Government and Ministers provided more detailed interventions on how to move forward in implementing the outcomes of the Conference. At the Round Tables, the Rapporteurs of the Sustainable Development Dialogues reported 30 recommendations on the priority areas of the conference. On Voluntary Commitments, we received our 500th registration this morning.
20 June 2012Today marks an historic occasion. The Conference was officially opened by the United Nations Secretary-General. The President of Brazil was elected President of the Conference by acclimation, and delivered a short statement. Prior to the opening of the conference, a 17-year old winner of the �Date with History competition�, Ms. Brittany Trilford, addressed world leaders. The ceremonial opening of the conference begins this afternoon, and we will have a special viewing of footage from the international space station, to be followed by the start of Round Table 1. The outcome document on The Future We Want has been agreed ad ref by all delegations, and will be adopted at the closing of the Conference on Friday. I share the general assessment that the text of the outcome document is balanced, focused on action and represents a strong official outcome of the Conference. On Voluntary Commitments, we have received an additional 38 commitments from the private sector arising from the Corporate Sustainability Forum organized by the UN Global Compact, as well as commitments by over 40 universities. This brings us to a total of 487 registered commitments.
19 June 2012I am pleased to join the host government of Brazil in announcing that the negotiations have come to a successful conclusion. We now have a text which will be adopted at the Conference. I wish to emphasize that we are highly appreciative of the leadership of the Brazilian government, and the inclusive consultative manner in which it has led the consultations. We think the text contains a lot of action. And, if this action is implemented, and if follow-up measures are taken, it will indeed make a tremendous difference in generating positive global change. Of course, this document is the product of intensive protracted negotiations. And therefore, it is a compromise text. Like all negotiations, there will be some countries that feel the text could be more ambitious. Or, others who feel their own proposals could be better reflected. While still others might prefer to have their own language. But, let�s be clear: multilateral negotiations require give and take. The spirit of compromise is the mark of a good consensus, and crucial if all countries are to be on board, take ownership, and share a collective commitment. This is the only way forward if we want to harness the necessary action for advancing together on a path of sustainable development. And personally, I am very pleased that delegations have come together for the success of the conference and for the future we want. I am also pleased to announce that we have this morning reached the 400 mark on the registry of voluntary commitments.
18 June 2012Negotiations are going smoothly. We are nearing the conclusion of the consultations on the text. Brazilian-led consultations have brought an accelerated and constructive dynamic to the negotiating process. The text that is on the table has been well received. Minor adjustments may still be introduced, but I am reasonably optimistic that we will be able to conclude negotiations as scheduled. I appeal to all delegations to join forces - to show flexibility and a spirit of compromise so we can deliver the future we want.
16 June 2012The third session of the PrepCom concluded last night. There was encouraging progress made by splinter groups on the text. The PrepCom decided that the negotiation process would be handed over to the Government of Brazil, who would conduct pre-conference consultations on the basis of the text emerging from the PrepCom. The Host Government announced that the consultation process will conclude on the 18th of June. It will then submit the agreed text to the conference for adoption. Regarding the registry of voluntary commitments: we continue to receive a steady stream of registrations, with 23 new commitments since yesterday. This brings us to a total of 281.
15 June 2012Day three of the PrepCom: Negotiations are continuing in the splinter groups, with slow but steady progress. Delegates are focusing on bridging differences on many issues, and committed to clearing as much text as possible today. I continue to stress the need to keep in mind the big picture. I am confident that, once some of the more complicated issues are resolved, such as reaffirmation of Rio principles, means of implementation, and ecosystem services, then a host of other paragraphs will be cleared. Regarding the registry of voluntary commitments: In the past 24 hours, the Secretariat received a further 29 registrations of voluntary commitments. This brings us to a total of 258. We welcome further registrations of commitments from all stakeholders and organizations, including tangible actions arising from side events.
14 June 2012Day two of the PrepCom: Consultations on the outcome document are continuing in the 10 splinter groups. While some progress is being made and delegates are working hard, they have been urged by the co-Chairs to accelerate the pace of negotiations with a sense of urgency. I have appealed to negotiators to focus on the big picture, the must-haves, and to rise above narrow and short-term interests. As of today, the Secretariat has received 229 registered voluntary commitments. Of this total number, 159 commitments are on Education, 27 on Sustainable Energy, 10 on Sustainable Cities, and 6 on Sustainable Transport."

Bench Plays Big Role in Womens Basketball's Win over Dartmouth, 76-53
Box Score
Still shaking off the rust from its 20-day break, the Princeton women's basketball team relied heavily on its depth in Saturday's 76-53 win over Dartmouth at Jadwin Gym.
The trio of sophomore starters, Amanda Berntsen, Michelle Miller and Alex Wheatley, put together team-leading statistical performances. Both Miller and Wheatley led the offense for the second straight night with 16 and 11 points, respectively and Berntsen finished with nine points and a game-high eight rebounds to match a personal best.
The first half saw an early battle for control, but the Tigers were able to create a small cushion until the subs guided an 8-2 run to lift them to an 11-point lead, 20-12 at 8:11.
Like Friday night's game versus Harvard, Princeton was unable to contain its momentum and Dartmouth countered with an 8-0 uncontested run to slice the Tigers' lead to three. The Big Green managed to make it a one-point game at 2:25, 28-27, but Princeton was able to preserve its advantage and lead 32-29 at halftime.
Everything picked up for Princeton in the second half, as a Blake Dietrick three-pointer put the Tigers up by double figures for good at 14:14, 47-36.
In a balanced attack that saw 26 bench points, Annie Tarakchian and Mariah Smith added eight and six, respectively, and Taylor Williams tallied four boards, a team-high three assists, two blocks and two points. Freshman Jackie Reyneke made her Ivy League debut a memorable one with a career-best seven rebounds and four points.
Princeton finished leading in all statistical categories, including a decisive 44-21 rebounding margin. The Tigers shot 59.6 percent (31-for-52) from the field, while limiting the Big Green to 29.6 percent (16-for-54). Both sides were successful at the stripe, as Princeton was 11-of-14 and Dartmouth was 15-of-19.
The Tigers (11-6, 2-1 Ivy) will hit the road next for a Friday meeting at Columbia and a Saturday contest at Cornell.
Postgame Notes: Princeton welcomed back former captain and 2011 unanimous Ivy Player of the Year in current Big Green assistant coach Addie Micir '11.

No. 9 Womens Water Polo Goes Perfect 3-0 at Princeton Invite
Guided by an all-around team effort, the No. 9 Tiger women's water polo team completed a perfect 3-0 weekend at the Princeton Invitational. Princeton capped off its undefeated tournament outing with a 17-4 win over the Virginia Military Institute Sunday.
Despite a very brief preseason, the Tigers played like a cohesive and well-orchestrated unit and outscored opponents 37-12 over the two-day invite.
Only three games into their collegiate careers and the freshmen are already making their mark. Hannah Lapkin led the offense with a team-best four goals and Morgan Hallock had a team-high three assists, while Sydney Saxe added two goals and an assist.
Junior Jessie Holechek and sophomore Kimi Klein each posted three goals apiece, and Ashley Hatcher finished with two goals and two assists.
Defensively, Ashleigh Johnson made six saves and allowed only one goal over her first half action and CeCe Coffey made her debut in the cage with four saves over the final two quarters.
It did not take long for Princeton to establish its pace, as the Tigers pounded the Keydet goal throughout the first half and went up 13-1 at the break.
Princeton slowed down over the second half, but remained in the driver's seat to outscore VMI 4-3.
After enjoying opening the year at home, the Tigers will hit the road for an eight-game stretch featuring two top-20 opponents. Princeton heads to the Bucknell Invitational from Feb. 15-16, before traveling to the MAAC/CWPA Crossover from Feb. 22-23 at Harvard.
No. 9 Princeton: 6 – 7 – 4 – 0 – 17
Goals: Hatcher 2, Rigler 2, Hallock 1, Lapkin 4, Klein 3, Holechek 3, Saxe 2
Assists: Hatcher 2, McBee 1, Rigler 1, Hallock 3, Temple 1, Klein 1, Saxe 1, Gross 1
Steals: Hooks 1, McBee 1, Dunstan 1, Temple 1, Johnson 1
Saves: Johnson (16:00) 6, Coffey (16:00) 4

Tell leaders where you stand on key issues
Published: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
One of the greatest privileges available to all Americans concerns the ability to contact their leaders directly and make their opinions known. Citizens can do this without any fear of physical retribution from those in power. The elected officials may not always act on the requests, but at least they know where a group of citizens stand.
Those seeking a new high school in northern Davidson County availed themselves of that right and sent about 350 letters to the county commissioners advocating for construction of the school. It would join Oak Grove Middle School to alleviate overcrowding in the North Davidson and Ledford districts. Much credit goes to Neal Motsinger, a Midway resident and school backer who drafted the template that many supporters used. Motsinger shows how one person can mobilize many others to lobby for a cause.
Sheer numbers don't always paint a true picture, although in this case there's no question many parents want to see the high school built. Modern technology allows the easy spread of a message, and many people can take advantage of a form letter and attach their name. They agree with the overall sentiment, even if they're not saying it with their own words.
So while the numbers are important, sometimes a smaller number of unique, well-reasoned letters, emails or phone calls may resonate even more with those in decision-making positions. Advocates who can make their case convincingly with strong points can sway elected leaders to their side, especially if that person hasn't decided how to vote. Letters can be transmitted electronically or by mail.
Other avenues exist as well. Rallies for specific causes provide a visual representation of those who favor a certain position. That's why large-scale events often take place in Raleigh or Washington, D.C., where like-minded people can attempt to sway the public opinion as well as lawmakers. Attendance at public meetings often proves effective on the local level. Politicians won't always vote based on visible support, as they may have sound reasons for taking the opposite position. But they had better be able to explain it in the face of public opposition.
Phone calls, emails and face-to-face communication also offer avenues to reach elected leaders. These may not bring attention like rallies or speaking at public meetings, but they, too, offer effective ways to alert elected leaders to the desire of the public. The more folks willing to make these personal efforts, the more effective they tend to be.
Another civic opportunity comes less than two weeks from now with the municipal elections. That offers the ultimate way for citizens to express their preferences. So take advantage of democracy and participate — at the voting booth and through regular engagement in issues.

ZF-6746: Cache in Zend_Paginator not working
Zend_Paginator makes cache ids from spl_object_hash($this), which changes throught HTTP request making Paginator unable to load its data back from cache, and also making it duplicate them in the cache.
Related to "Zend_Paginator makes cache ids from spl_object_hash($this)":
it gives me same cache id for same adapter made from 2 different Zend_Db_Table_Select objects to test:
$table = new zend_db_tabe(); $select1 = $table->select()-where('some_field_1 = ?', 'some value'); $select2 = $table->select()-where('some_field_1 = ?', 'some other value');
$paginaor = new Zend_Paginator::Factory($select1); and $paginaor = new Zend_Paginator::Factory($select2);
return the same cache id, even though the results of the 2 selects are different.
is it possible to cache the total number of items? I noticed that the select that counts the total number of items that need to be paginated is not cached.
Fixed in r15883 Warning, could lead to BC breaks with old cache entries as the tagging system has been reviewed and improved. Tests are welcome
When using Zend_Db_Profiler_Fierbug there are a few properties that store microtime values which when serializing the adapter cause it to produce a different hash value each time. Because this hash value is used to identify what cached data to load, Zend_Cache is unable to find any cache associated to this identifier.
This cache stuff broken again in 1.9.1
public function getItems($offset, $itemCountPerPage)
echo md5(serialize($this));echo "
"; $this->_select->limit($itemCountPerPage, $offset); echo md5(serialize($this));echo "
"; return $this->_select->getTable()->fetchAll($this->_select); }
this will show you issue, you will see two different strings and paginator will never load data from cache.
Caching in Paginator is relatively tricky, which is one of the reasons why we didn't implement it initially.
ivan: Could you open a new issue for this?
julien: Do you want to look into this? Or shall I give it a go later today?

OverviewIC Validator is a signoff DRC / LVS tool that is architected and proven for In-Design physical verification at leading-edge process nodes. It delivers excellent scalability for efficient utilization of available hardware, superior ease-of-use for the physical designer, and high programmability for easier runset development.
IC Validator's high performance DRC and LVS physical verification engine substantially reduces the time to results through near-linear scalability across multiple CPU cores.
IC Validator is seamlessly integrated with IC Compiler and IC Compiler II for In-Design physical verification. This award-winning technology accelerates design closure for manufacturing by enabling independent signoff quality analysis and automatic repair, including double/triple patterning technology decomposition checking — all within the implementation environment.
IC Validator is fully qualified and silicon proven by major foundries and IDMs for physical signoff at established and advanced process nodes.
Turnaround TimePrevailing approaches to physical design can be described as implement-then-verify, resulting in multiple time-consuming iterations between design and signoff. This cumbersome flow is due to the lack of signoff-quality physical verification during design implementation. At the 40nm technology node and beyond, the implement-then-verify flow is slow and may complicate convergence as layout corrections can alter key design metrics such as area, timing and power. And, at 20nm and below, the introduction of a clear new challenge, DPT compliance, is placing an unprecedented burden on physical designers.
IC Validator is specifically architected for In-Design physical verification, bringing the power of full signoff physical verification constraints into the design phase without imposing time-consuming stream-in and stream-out of layout data. Using In-Design physical verification, DRC and manufacturing issues are caught much earlier in the design cycle, reducing or eliminating late-stage surprises close to tapeout. With In-Design verification, specific layer, rules and selected areas of layout are targeted incrementally, providing a speed-up in overall design completion time. Design rule violations discovered during verification — including DPT limiting layout patterns — can be automatically fixed within the global timing and area context of the design, reducing
IC Validator physical verification solution
the impact of the correction. In addition, chip finishing operations typically performed during physical verification, such as metal fill, are managed in a similar fashion. Working with IC Compiler™ and IC Compiler II, IC Validator's In-Design flow delivers significantly faster runtimes and dramatically reduces chip finishing iterations by performing signoff quality, timing-driven metal fill and also double and triple patterning decomposition during the design phase.
High Performance and ScalabilityThe complexity of the physical verification task has grown substantially at the 40nm process node, and is getting worse at 20nm and beyond. To address the capacity and performance requirements of physical verification at advanced nodes, IC Validator is architected for excellent scalability and efficient utilization of available hardware.
Multithreading: IC Validator's multithreading approach significantly shortens execution time on modern multicore CPUs.
Scalability: IC Validator provides nearlinear scalability across a distributed computing network, supporting a 40X run time acceleration on a 64-CPU network and enabling completion of most physical verification tasks overnight. (See Figure 1)
On-Demand Load Balancing: Intelligent job scheduling keeps all cores equally busy to minimize the total job completion time.
Memory-Aware Scheduling: IC Validator's scheduler distributes jobs so as to avoid exceeding any individual computer's memory capacity. This avoids delays caused by paging when memory is exceeded.
Figure 1: IC Validator scalability extends to 32 cores and beyond
Enhanced Productivity with In-Design Physical Verification
Automatic DRC Repair (ADR) IC Validator's seamless integration with IC Compiler and IC Compiler II enables an innovative layout auto-correction interface, which identifies DRC violations, including DPT decomposition violations and initiates automatic repairs. The corrections are applied by IC Compiler to alleviate DRC and DPT errors, and then validated within IC Validator. In-Design integration makes it possible to maintain hotspot-free designs throughout implementation, further eliminating iterations with downstream analysis tools. ADR's tight find-andrepair loop enables rapid discovery and repair of errors, minimizing designer intervention and speeding time to tapeout. (See Figure 2)
Figure 2: IC Compiler GUI showing IC Validator-enabled signoff DRC commands
Incremental Layer-based, Rule-based and Area-based VerificationTo accelerate physical verification time, IC Validator and IC Compiler and IC Compiler II integration enables intelligent incremental flows to eliminate unnecessary checking by restricting verification to the specific layer, rule or design area that needs validation. The tight integration provides a powerful tool dialog that allows the user to quickly select the rules, layers and region size for DRC checking, pattern matching, or adding metal fill. By automatically limiting the scope of the validation, more verification runs can be performed early in the design cycle, greatly reducing the number of full design verification runs, and shortening the time to results. (See Figure 3)
Figure 3: Area-based incremental signoff DRC analysis.Only the highlighted area is submitted for analysis
Incremental verification is especially important for ECO validation, which typically impacts a very small section of the design. Using a conventional flow, critical verification time can be wasted on checking the full chip even when changes were made to selected regions or layers. The In-Design flow saves time by restricting the verification to only the layers and area affected by the ECO. As a result, the In-Design flow significantly speeds verification without undue burden on the physical designer.
Timing-Aware FillAt advanced nodes, fill insertion is mandatory to ensure manufacturability and high yield. But excessive fill can lead to build up of coupling capacitance, impacting timing and resulting in unpredictable iterations with design. In-Design technology with IC Compiler and IC Validator enables single-pass fill implementation that is timing aware to prevent such problems. Combined with IC Validator's novel fill-to-target technology, timing-aware fill efficiently balances timing and density and replaces multiple fill-analyze iterations with a single step.
Error VisualizationTo maintain efficient physical verification, rapid visualization and error correction are as important as fast physical verification runtime. IC Validator includes the IC Validator VUE visualization tool, which provides an easy-to-use, intelligent error navigation and prioritization system for efficient review and correction of DRC and LVS issues, double patterning conflicts, and manufacturing-limiting patterns. Using IC Validator VUE, layout engineers can quickly and easily scan physical verification errors in the IC Compiler/IC Compiler II environment, as well as other widely used layout editors. IC Validator VUE enhances productivity for physical verification engineers.
Pattern MatchingIC Validator's Pattern Matching efficiently expands IC Validator's rule-based signoff engine for pattern-driven verification. This capability makes it possible to very quickly identify and automatically correct manufacturability hotspots in a design, by comparing against a library of known problematic layout patterns. IC Validator's patented pattern matching technology eliminates the need for convoluted rules and, with almost zero runtime penalty per pattern, it significantly speeds up the time to achieve manufacturing compliance.
Signoff DRC and LVS Ready at 20nm and Below
Foundry QualificationComprehensive foundry qualification is a necessary component of any successful physical verification solution. IC Validator is qualified and actively in use for FinFETs, SOI and traditional technologies at established process nodes and advanced emerging process nodes by leading foundries.
Layout-vs.-Schematic (LVS)IC Validator LVS is foundry qualified and provides a comprehensive verification and debugging environment. The most important aspect of any LVS solution is the power and efficiency of its debug environment. IC Validator excels with its VUE and Shortfinder tools that quickly and easily identify errors, such as text-level shorts, for rapid repair and revalidation. VUE is a graphical environment to display and cross-probe between layout and schematics, together with a sophisticated error management system. IC Validator LVS device extraction supports leadingedge technologies where device parameters are often affected by their proximity to neighboring devices through layout dependent effects (LDE).
Fill-to-Target TechnologyIC Validator's Fill-to-Target technology is a tile-based parametric fill engine that inserts the right shapes in the right places to give superior planarity and smooth fill density, even around macros. This correct-by-construction approach improves yield and speeds turnaround time by replacing the traditional iterative fill-analyze flow with a single-pass.
Double Patterning Manufacturing at 20nm and below usually relies on DPT, which requires that a design be decomposable into two overlapping layout patterns. IC Validator offers comprehensive support for double patterning developed in close cooperation with leading foundries and IDMs. IC Validator includes a native coloring (decomposition) engine based on flexible coding of DPT rules, and supports advanced capabilities such as stitching rules. With In-Design technology, IC Validator provides not only signoff quality decomposition checking, but also automatic repair of DPT conflicts. (See Figure 4)
Figure 4: Signoff quality double patterning verification and correction is critical for 20nm and below
Equation-Based and Property-Based Checking New foundry rules, like voltage-domain checks, often rely on specific properties that are attached to geometric shapes. IC Validator provides a flexible and efficient property-based checking mechanism to enrich physical verification beyond strictly checking geometries.
Other complex foundry rules can require localized and selective polygon inclusion criteria, or require continuous functions to describe accurately. IC Validator offers rich programmability features that can accurately compute equationbased geometric characteristics. For example, traditional binning can be too crude for critical area calculation, and a continuous equation-based evaluation is more accurate.
Flexible Error Reporting and ClassificationIC Validator supports a DRC disposition and reporting utility that can implement custom DRC waivers and rapid categorization of DRC violations. DRC errors can also be reviewed as the DRC job continues to run. This approach speeds time to tapeout by enabling parallel debug and execution.
Integration with StarRC™IC Validator LVS has an efficient working flow with Synopsys StarRC™ for parasitic extraction. IC Validator supports end-toend hierarchical parasitic extraction that minimizes physical flattening and simplifies extraction by implementing a single pass flow, providing a major performance increase over the double extraction flow of previous generation tools.
Integration with Galaxy Custom Designer®IC Validator works together with Synopsys' layout editing tool, Custom Designer LE, to support a tightly integrated DRC and LVS-enabled custom design flow. Both IC Validator and Custom Designer fully support the OpenAccess database. In addition, Customer Designer is integrated with the VUE error navigator for rapid debug of DRC and LVS issues.

The film, directed by The Ski Channel's Steve Bellamy isn't your typical ski porn. In fact, reports in from last fall's cross-country screenings claim audiences laughed, cried, cheered and ahhhed. The Story takes viewers deep into the characters of the most famous skiers like Bode Miller, Lindsey Vonn, Chris Davenport, and Kristi Leskinen, as well as features the most obscure ski bums. There's paragliding, river surfing and kite skiing mixed in with a trek to Mount Everest, skiing steeps in Alaska and skiing big waves in Hawaii. Utah's own Jamie Pierre makes screen time with his historic 255-foot cliff jump. Then there's the Wizard-Robert (Bob) Athey- one of Utah's backcountry skiing legends as the comic relief before we dive into the tragic yet inspirational story of two-time Paralympics' Gold Medalist Stephani Victor.
"The Story", along with a short film titled "Shane and the McConkeys", screens Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m., Sunday at 6 p.m. as part of the Park City Film Series. Victor will be live this Saturday night to introduce the film and lead a Q&A at the end. There will be skis, lift passes and more swag tossed out. Colesport is underwriting the event.

Carla is a teen librarian at the Novato Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This book was really good. Many of us don't read a lot of realistic fiction and we all felt that this story seemed real. Although it was set in the early 1990's many of the issues are still relevant today. Alienation, bullying, drugs, suicide, sexual confusion, depression, and repressed memories of child abuse are all touched on in this awesome book. We know it sounds like the author threw in everything but the kitchen sink but he manages to address all of these issues without making them seem trite. A wonderful cast of characters, the characters are consistent and develop as the story goes on. The portrayal of hanging out with friends still rings true, basically it "feels infinite". This is definitely a book for mature readers.

What to Expect After Surgery for Lung Cancer
After surgery, you may have to stay in the hospital for a few days. How long you must stay depends on these things:
How much of your lung was removed
How extensive the surgery was
How well you begin to recover from the surgery
Here's an overview of how you might feel after lung surgery:
For the first few days, you are likely to have pain from the incision, or cut. Your pain can be controlled with medicine. Talk with your doctor or nurse about your options for pain relief. Some people are hesitant to take pain medication, but doing so can actually help your healing. If you don't control pain well, for example, you may not want to cough or turn over often, which you need to do as you recover from surgery.
You may have tubes in your chest to drain the wound.
You may feel tired or weak for a while. The amount of time it takes to recover from an operation is different for each person.
You may have trouble breathing for several days or weeks until your body adjusts. A physical or respiratory therapist can teach you exercises to make breathing easier.
You may feel pain or weakness in your arm or chest.
It is important for people who have had surgery to cough, breathe deeply, and turn over more often while in bed. Doing this helps prevent complications after surgery.
You may have constipation from using pain medicine, from not moving much, or from not eating much. Talk with your doctor or nurse about getting more dietary fiber or using stool softeners or stimulants to help you avoid constipation.
Depending on the results of the surgery, you may have either chemotherapy or radiation afterwards. The goal is to reduce the chance that any cells that may remain won't spread. Having another type of treatment soon after surgery is called adjuvant therapy.

You know in Emerald, I decided to play a little joke. I chose the female trainer and named myself Brendan, just to see what would happen. Result:
Brendan: Oh, your name's Brendan? Nice to meet you, Brendan! My name's Brendan.

It's pretty stupid, but back when I actually still played the game, I did stuff like that all the time. Naming people and Pokemon and catchphrases stuff that was kind of crude or random or stupid. Or all of the above, if you can manage it.
'Your mom' is fun sometimes.

I named myself Kyarra cause it was the name of a chacter in the book i was reading then and i can't remember what i named the rival cause it was really stupid.
Gardevoir is awesome!!So is Lugia!!!;)

Adopt one yourself! @Pokémon Orphanage
I remember how I sometimes named my starter "Away" or "Do your mom" so that whenever my trainer sent it out he would say "Go do your mom!"
im playing gold again, my trainers name is BUTT.

Fire red:Otto
leaf green:Jay

My first time threw the game I go with my real name (Adam). Second time threw is usually random. My fail safe if I can't think of anything original on the spot is Alacard (hellsing baby!).
As for my Rival I usually just go with whatever is their for options. D/P is use Damian. In the early games I almost always just picked Gary because you could tell that it was modeled after him. Also to justify using that name I figured that Gary was a pretty annoying person and based off of that is it really unrealistic to think that he pissed off other people other then Ash enough to where they might call him their rival? I don't think so.

Hero= Valjean

^Les Miserables reference.
In Gold, I named my rival Fukface
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
For the first few games I always did Ash/Gary just because of the show. Now I use my name and still Gary as rival.
In Pokemon Pearl I named my trainer Keahi and I named my rival Tommy.

Fecback is a stupid name, now I regret it.
I was a girl for a while in most of my pokemon games becuase I was a prevented preteen. But as I started to go online I discovered it just caused confusion and akward moments which is great if you are trolling. But with the pokemon players psych so fragile and battles so needed it can be a huge problem.

in diamond i named myself Cassie(girl, real life name) i think i named my rival once fartgun or farttart maybe just fart
in heartgold i named myself Mei(girl name and i played as a girl) and my rival feo(in spanish feo means ugly or ugly guy)

Peer Services
What are peer services?
Peer support programs provide an opportunity for consumers who have achieved significant recovery to assist others in their recovery journeys. Peer specialists model recovery, teach skills and offer supports to help people experiencing mental health challenges lead meaningful lives in the community. Peer specialists promote recovery; enhance hope and social networking through role modeling and activation; and supplement existing treatment with education, empowerment, and aid in system navigation1.
Why are peer services important?
Research shows that the use of peer specialists, allows states to save mental health program dollars by reducing hospitalizations and other emergency interventions, and increases peoples participation in the community. And people with mental illness who are helped by peers tend to experience more thorough and longer-lasting recoveries2.
Following pioneering work in Georgia, an increasing number of states are successfully implementing independent peer support services programs that bill Medicaid directly. At least 30 states consider peer services a Medicaid reimbursable service2.
What do peer specialists do?
Peer support specialists work in a variety of roles that include but are not limited to:
- independent peer support
- case management
- peer wellness coaching
- education and advocacy
- active participants on treatment teams in a full range of clinical settings, including crisis services
- peer navigator or bridgers—helping people to navigate community services and supports
- peer-run support groups and warm lines

Seafood is Leading Cause of Foodborne Illness Outbreaks
WASHINGTON - Contaminated seafood is the leading known cause of foodborne illness outbreaks,
according to a new report published by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). The next
biggest causes are eggs, fruits and vegetables, beef and poultry. Those findings are in CSPI's Outbreak Alert! report, which was released this week at the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association.
"Seafood and other foods regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) caused four times more outbreaks than meat and poultry products, which are regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)," said Caroline Smith DeWaal, CSPI's director of food safety. "Despite that, the FDA has only one-tenth as many food-safety inspectors, and about one-third of the inspection budget of the USDA. That represents a huge gap in consumers' protection against unsafe food."
FDA currently has only 150 inspectors to check on 3.7 million shipments of imported food and inspects domestic food plants only once every five years. FDA recently informed Congress that it needs
significant new resources to protect the food supply, including $800 million to enhance domestic inspections and $540 million to inspect 20 percent of the shipments of imported food. Because of the threat of bioterrorism, the Bush Administration last week requested emergency funding from Congress, including $61 million to increase imported food inspections and to modernize the import data system.
"The Bush Administration has acknowledged serious gaps in FDA's food-safety program that need to be repaired. " said DeWaal. "In addition to increasing FDA's funding, the Bush Administration and Congress should combine federal food safety programs into a single food safety agency with modern tools to address new hazards, like bioterrorism and mad cow disease."
Outbreak Alert! published annually by CSPI since 1999, provides the most comprehensive listing of foodborne illness outbreaks linked to the food source and the regulating agency. The report is compiled from authoritative sources, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state and local health departments, and medical and scientific journals. Outbreaks of unknown origin, i.e. where no food or pathogen could be identified, are not included in Outbreak Alert!

A weekly summary of links from around the world to keep you informed about the latest news in landscape architecture
How urban scars are being remade into vibrant, vital playgrounds | Alex Bozikovic | Globe & Mail
"One of the mistakes of the late 20th century was to think of parks as an escape from the city," says Michael Van Valkenburgh, the landscape architect whose office is designing Corktown Common. "I think it's very different to think of a park as an essential piece of the city, as opposed to 'not urban.'"
Q&A: Kim Mathews and Signe Nielsen | Susan S. Szenasy| Metropolis Magazine
"Here the principals of the New York firm, Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects, Kim Mathews, RLA, ASLA and Signe Nielsen, RLA, FASLA, talk about the evolution of their profession, their commitment to teaching, writing, lecturing, their research-informed work, as well as the new appreciation of design in the public realm."

Can you see the landscape architecture for the trees? | Christopher Vollan | Rize
Landscape architecture, at its best, is much more than the arrangement of greenery, furniture and lawn.

Sluggish DCCC pulls away in second half
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 10:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 10:54 p.m.
Maybe it was the mismatched uniform bottoms. Or the jersey tops — one which didn't even have a logo on the front and a number with a different font than the others — that looked more like practice outfits.
Or something.
In a contest that had all the trappings of an exhibition, Davidson County Community College sleep-walked through a lackluster first half before pulling away for a 79-50 victory over what was billed as Virginia Tech's club team Wednesday night at Brinkley Gym.
The Storm opened the second half with an 16-0 run to break way from a 36-36 tie against a team that only had seven players and looked like it was dressed for an intramural game.
"Maybe it was that," said DCCC coach Matt Ridge. "I don't know. I don't care where we play, who we play against. We've got to play the same way."
It had the look and feel of an exhibition game.
"We didn't know they were a club team until today," said DCCC athletic director Kenneth Kirk.
Kirk said the game would still count toward the Storm's record but that didn't matter to Ridge, who was disappointed with his team.
"We've got to play the right way," Ridge said. "I'm glad we weren't up against Sandhills, Caldwell or Wytheville. Central Carolina is better than they've been in the past. We've got a great league. Right now, we're inexperienced and we've got to get better quickly."
Robert Story led DCCC (4-1) with 15 points while Torian Showers had 14 and Brandon Davis 10. Brandon Clyburn and Brandon Brown each scored nine points.
Curtis Einsmann led Virginia Tech with 12 points.
The visiting Hokies stayed close in the first half in part by making seven 3-pointers. The lead changed hands numerous times in the first 20 minutes and DCCC's largest margin was just five points.
All that changed rather quickly in the second half.
Showers hit consecutive 3-pointers in DCCC's big run to start the half. The Hokies got a scoop shot from D.J. Maxwell and then DCCC kept scoring. By the time Davis scored on a fast break layup with 9:49 left in the game, the Storm had outscored the Hokies 29-2 in the second half.
None of that changed Ridge's mood.
"We're nowhere near where we need to be at this point," Ridge said. "That's my responsibility. We've got to get where we need to be in order to be a championship-caliber team. We've got to work hard from the opening tip through the whole 40 minutes."
DCCC hosts Germanna Community College of Fredericksburg, Va., at 2 p.m. Saturday.

San Martino National Museum and Charterhouse - Naples
The Neapolitan Monastery, next to Saint Elmo Castle, dedicated to Saint Martin, bishop of Tours, was founded in 1325 at the behest of Charles, Duke of Calabria and son of Robert of Angiò.
The enormous structure was designed by the Senese architect Tino di Camaino and by Attanasio Primario who followed closely the architectural canons of the Carthusian order to which the monastery belonged and the rules laid down by its founder, Saint Bruno of Cologne.
The oldest illustration of the Charterhouse of San Matino is the famous "Tavola Strozzi" (Strozzi Table"), exhibited in the section of the Museum dedicated to "Images and memories of the city": the convent, with its curious crenellations, seems closely connected to the neighboring Castle Sant'Elmo.
Little remains today of the original gothic structure which has been profoundly modified by successive restructurings.
Between the end of the 1500s and the 1600s the whole monastery was completely transformed at the hands of several artists.
Only the subterranean parts have retained their original form and they now houses the section of the Museum dedicated to sculpture.
In one of the historic milieus of the Charterhouse, the ancient kitchens, one can also find the "Sezione presepiale" which houses models of the nativity Scene of Christ, including the famous work by "Cuciniello": this spectacular Nativity Scene is created inside an artificial grotto, animated by countless figures of shepherds, animals, still life and a spectacular oriental Magi cortege, an 18th century popular immagination scenario.
Other holdings of the Museum include sculptures, glasses, the gallery located in the priory, a collection of Neapolitan paintings from the 19th century, and carriages section.
From both the Museum and the Charterhouse it is possible to enjoy spectacular views over the Bay of Naples and the hills of Vomero.

Even if you've never watched the reality shows, worn the clothes, sniffed the fragrances, popped the diet pills or snapped the Silly Bandz, there is no escaping the name of America's most ubiquitous family: Kardashian. Now the clan is extending its reach to perhaps its most surprising frontier—that 118-year-old bastion of American values and power tools known as Sears. In August the chain will open splashy, Kardashian-themed boutiques stocked with clothes and accessories designed by daughters Kourtney, Kim and Khloé in 400 Sears stores nationwide.
"You're going to be able to go into Sears and have a complete Kardashian experience," beams the brains behind the behemoth, self-described "momager" Kris Jenner.
The family's commercial endeavors got an undeniable boost four years ago when a videotaped romp between daughter Kim and her then-boyfriend wound up in the hands of Vivid Entertainment. But Jenner's reinvention as a branding genius began two decades earlier, when she and husband Robert Kardashian got divorced. A year later, she married Bruce Jenner, the 1976 Olympic gold medalist.
At the time of their wedding, Jenner's new husband was famous but $500,000 in debt. She was in no position to bail him out: Though Robert Kardashian was a wealthy businessman and lawyer—best known for representing his friend O.J. Simpson in his murder trial—Jenner says she chose to exit the marriage with no alimony rather than spend time in court splitting up assets. But while she and Bruce didn't have much money, they did have kids—eight between them (three Kardashian girls and one boy, Robert Jr., plus Bruce's four kids from two previous marriages); later on, the couple added two daughters of their own, Kendall and Kylie. "I wasn't scared," Jenner insists. "I said, 'Let's pump some air into this flat tire.' "
Using skills she says she learned from being both a Beverly Hills hostess and a Brownie-troop leader, Jenner revamped her spouse's tired motivational-speaking career and turned the aging athlete into a home-fitness-product pitchman. And in the early 2000s she began landing him TV gigs on such reality shows as Skating with Celebrities.
By that time, Jenner's older daughters were in their teens and early twenties, and the women of the family went into retail. Smooch, a children's boutique (now defunct), opened in 2003, followed by the flagship Dash clothing store in 2006. Kim, the second-oldest daughter, began hovering on the edges of pop culture. She made guest appearances on The Simple Life, a reality show, and worked as a celebrity stylist. Then the sex tape went public, and Mom coped by squeezing the publicity lemon into an apparently bottomless glass of lemonade.
Jenner says she had always wanted to create a show about her family, and she told the Hollywood Reporter she had been inspired by The Osbournes to make a sample tape. Memories differ on exactly how Keeping Up with the Kardashians was born. No one, however, disputes what has happened since. Keeping Up is one of the E! network's highest-rated shows, and it's spawned three Kardashian-focused spinoffs. All in all, the family businesses earned some $65 million last year, and as momager to everyone—including Khloé's husband, Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom—Jenner collects 10 percent off the top.
The juggernaut of new projects appears unstoppable. Jenner says that her three oldest daughters are writing a series of novels and that she is at work on a memoir.
On the eve of the Sears launch, More caught up with the mogul at her 9,000-square-foot hacienda, located in a gated community within a gated community in Hidden Hills, California. Jenner, who can be seen on TV doing keg stands, sat behind a spotless chrome desk decorated with a large photo of Kourtney's son, Mason. She wore a black Prada tunic, black Theory leggings and black Fendi boots and talked about her journey from stay-at-home mom to mother of reinvention.
A month later, between her 5 am workout and her 7 am camera call, Jenner elaborated a bit further, via speakerphone and then e-mail. We took copious notes.
A lot of people think the heavens opened for your family and dropped fame and fortune into your laps.
I wish it were that easy. I've been working nonstop for 20 years. When I married Bruce, it was sort of hit the ground running. I married a guy who was really talented and had been doing motivational speeches for Fortune 500 companies—and this is a guy who didn't have a business card or a press kit. People who were in his business had all these marketing tools, and Bruce was just winging it. I knew he could be much bigger.
In his book Finding the Champion Within, he says that when he met you, he was $500,000 in debt and living in a one-room apartment.
He was at a place where he had really low self-esteem and thought, Now what do I do with my life? I think I was probably a breath of fresh air. But he brought the goods. Managing isn't a magic show. You don't work with somebody and instill talent in them. I am blessed to have these children who have the most amazing work ethic. I have a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old [Kylie and Kendall Jenner], who were at a meeting at 8:30 this morning with Ryan Seacrest Productions to talk about their careers. They were at this crazy-long conference table with executives, who are fascinated by what the girls have to say. That's better than any education I could offer them.
You started as a flight attendant and then became a housewife. Were you prepared to become a business manager?
I was the Brownie leader and the soccer coach and room mother and car pool driver. Being a mom gave me great knowledge of how to be a professional multitasker. I see a problem, and I fix it. To me, Bruce was a problem that needed to be fixed.
Did you have professional ambitions during your first marriage?
Oh God, no. I was working 24 hours a day trying to raise four babies. I didn't want to be anything but a mom for a very long time.
So after you married Bruce Jenner, how did you know the right way to package and market him?
I just figured it all out. [I used] gorgeous folders for his press kits. I made stickers of him crossing the finish line, and that was his logo. To me, it's all about the details. I think everything wrapped in a beautiful bow makes it that much more attractive.
When I wanted to get Bruce into the Sherwood Country Club [with the idea of making business contacts], I had his press kits on everybody's deskalong with little Hasbro Bruce Jenner dolls and his Wheaties boxes. I had thrown the most amazing parties for so many years [while married to Robert Kardashian]. It's like, "OK, these are your party favors." You have to figure out a way to communicate with people.
What's the secret to becoming self-made?
If someone says no, you're asking the wrong person. Don't get discouraged, and don't be afraid to try new things. Get organized.
What's been your biggest success since you became an entrepreneur?
The thing I'm most proud of right now is our relationship with Sears. I've been working on getting the girls a lifestyle line—apparel, shoes, bags—for the last three years. When I came upon the Sears opportunity, it was perfect. My grandmother took me there all the time; it's one of my favorite memories. Who knew that all these years later, my girls would have their own line at Sears?
How do you know a business opportunity is right for the brand?
I use my intuition. When something starts to feel really forced or not natural or doesn't resonate with my family, I know it's time to walk away.
Your family really knows how to leverage social media; you've got more than 770,000 followers on your Twitter feed alone. Any tips?
I absolutely love Twitter and think it's such an important tool. I can go to two places—TMZ and Twitter—and pretty much tell you what's going on socially in about 30 seconds. I personally like to tweet something I'm really excited about and want to share that might enhance someone's life or just something silly I think might be interesting to a reader. I often think, Would I like to read this? Or would I want to know this? If the answer is yes, then I tweet it. I loved this juice my trainer turned me on to called Ritual Cleanse. So I tweeted about it . . . I was notgetting paid for it. Tweeting is also an amazing way for me to keep up with my kids! I just log on to Twitter, and I can pinpoint just about anything they are doing.
Do you have any rules for working with family?
Everyone has to have the same work ethic. If one is really lazy or drinks all night and can't get up in the morning, [it won't work]. Every single one of my girls gets up at the crack of dawn and works really hard. They work all day long until they fall down. And then they get up the next day and do it all over again.
How do you respond to critics who have suggested that you're exploiting your children?
[I respond] by working hard. My job is to take my family's 15 minutes of fame and turn it into 30. It's a very rewarding feeling when I go to sleep every night knowing I did the best I could for my family.
How do you psych yourself up for meetings? Any negotiating tips?
Ask for what you want. You'd be surprised—you just might get it.

text: Grave Dragons are not named for their connections to death or burial, but for the grave expression on their faces. This strange expression is used as a defense mechanism that causes fits of panic and terror in potential predators. Since they only eat ash and charcoal, they do not hunt. Grave Dragons are powerful fire-breathers and have been known to burn down forests and villages alike to make meals. It is believed that the markings on each Grave Dragon's wings are the faces of those who have lost their lives in fires started by that dragon.

VH1 executives are committed to the cause of preventing spoilers. VH1's own blog would not confirm if a radar online report about the alleged arrest of VH1 Basketball Wives cast member Suzie Ketcham was true or false.
"We were there, and while we're obviously not going to spoil a show that isn't airing till June 20 with additional first-hand details, but know this: it was quite the scene," according to VH1's blog.
You have to admit its pretty odd when a network allows an outside agency to scoop its own story. Anyhow, Suzie Ketcham, the ex-girlfriend of retired Boston Celtics center Michael Olowokandi, supposedly threw a bucket of water (I know shocking) at a surprise guest "Sandra" on the Basketball Wives reunion show. Sandra attempted to run away and slipped and injured herself on the water.
Suzie Ketcham (along with Evelyn Lozado) have a history of water-throwing fights on the show. While out for a dinner with Jennifer Williams, wife of retired NBA player Eric Williams, and Royce Reed, Suzie threw a glass of water at Sandra.
Famous last words from Susie Ketcham on the VH1 Basketball Wives season finale, "I don't like drama."

2015 Executive Report Fourth Quarter
January 28, 2016
January 28, 2016
Arlington, Va. — The Aerospace Industries Association urges Congress to approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership and increase international trade substantially in the Pacific Rim region. Nearly 40 percent of U.S. exports and imports are made with the countries participating in this agreement.
Statement by Aerospace Industries Association President and CEO David F. Melcher on the House voting to extend the R&D Tax Credit permanently.
Arlington, Va. — AIA welcomes the House vote to permanently extend the research and development tax credit which lapsed at the end of 2014. It provides an important incentive during these times of fiscal austerity for thousands of companies to make long-term investments in innovation and is critical to creating economic growth. Particularly at a time when DOD is actively seeking new sources of innovation, it's imperative that we do everything in our power to incentivize companies in every sector to invest in innovative ideas and solutions.
Arlington, Va. – The aerospace and defense industry had a strong year in 2015, achieving a number of its top priorities. Despite a lengthy delay, the Export-Import Bank of the United States was reauthorized for four years; significant relief from the budget caps imposed under the Budget Control Act of 2011 was achieved for 2016 and 2017 with passage of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015; and there are hopeful signs that a year-long omnibus with an extension of the R&D Tax Credit will pass shortly.
Message from AIA President and CEO David F. Melcher:
Throughout my career, I've been privileged to work in organizations with well-defined cultures such as the U.S. Army, Office of Management and Budget, ITT and Exelis. In all of these groups, I've seen people from all levels work hard to align the organization's vision, mission and values with bold strategic goals that are executable and achievable. As noted academic James Q. Wilson wrote about such cultures, "People did not always have to be told what to do; they knew what to do, and what is more important,…

This study for the treatment of the future subway extension to North Beach takes into consideration the historic value of the neighborhood and existing park, and attempts to create an improved pedestrian experience while minimizing the impact on the community. The proposed plaza replaces a small, inaccessible landscaped area and a short section of Powell Street, creating a unified pedestrian plaza containing the primary subway entrance, public seating, a public lawn, and outdoor dining areas for the existing restaurants.
