Full SubmissionGUNi'S INPUT FOR RIO+20 Input on UNCSD Compilation Document 1. Expectations of Outcome: What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio +20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document? In the Outcome Document, two key aspects for the construction of sustainable development should appear: the role of knowledge and its use, and the role of education in the construction of a sustainable future for humanity and the planet: - The Role of Knowledge: We are on the verge of a change in the model of civilization, which cannot be constructed from the old paradigms of a system which has already met its limits. Sustainability involves the development of a new culture that attributes a different kind of value to knowledge and that questions the assumptions on which we are sustaining the comprehension of the world and the human dynamics in it. The major contribution of higher education to sustainability is the co-creation of pertinent knowledge for the understanding of reality, and of doing it with anticipation so as to play a proactive and committed role in the transformation and positive change of societies. The role of higher education as agents of social transformation and how its visions and actions could be re-oriented towards a new understanding of knowledge, broadening the scope of the use of knowledge in society to facilitate the emergence of better and positive contributions to global human coexistence. Renew thought for society: break the conformity of thought by proactively criticizing the world of ideas. Transform the paradigms and beliefs established in social, economic and political systems, how we organize our community and how this is reflected in our education systems. Analyze the ethical, social and environmental implications of the advance of knowledge: Increase the resources invested in analyzing the impact of science and technology and augment the capacity to absorb their expansion, in all aspects of human life. - The role of Education: Education is the key for change: sustainable development is a learning process, a way how people is prepared to live and to understand the world they live in. Rethink how we prosper, specially how we do it collectively and then we have to reconsider how we are educating and for what purpose. Now is the moment to widen the scope of education and research in society and to move beyond creating socio-economic wellbeing towards the transformation of society as a whole and the creation of a sustainable global community. 2. Comments on Existing Proposals: What are the comments, if any, on existing proposals: e.g. a Green economy roadmap, framework for action, sustainable development goals, a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, or others? HEIs can contribute to a Green economy and to sustainable development goals by providing the lessons learnt by its research, through the training of the professionals of the future, and by introducing technological advances. - Research Experiences and lessons learned: provide solutions through research and through higher education experiences on sustainable development. Democratize access to knowledge and research: provide open access to expert knowledge, making it as useful as it can be for international organizations, UN system, governments, civil associations and citizenry. Move to the idea of socially relevant knowledge as human heritage. Networking and research for local needs and global challenges: Cooperation and co-creation of knowledge and technology. Local needs require local proposals in global frameworks, and global challenges require global solutions that are locally acceptable. However, global solutions can come from local experience and vice versa. Explore how to link scientific research and political decision making related to collective well-being. - Training and development of professionals that can lead the shift towards sustainability Go beyond educating professionals to educating citizens: The mision of higher education is to prepare critical professionals, with ethical awareness and civic commitment. Know how to contribute to the common good through professional practice. Educate for glocality, democracy, citinsehip, intercultural dialogue and relations, peace building, sustainability, global social justice and a deep understanding of life�s dynamics. Make links with previous levels of education. Introduce complexity, uncertainty and transdisciplinarity in the training and in research, towards a holistic vision of reality. Link different areas of knowledge in order to understand complex issues and find solutions to the great problems in the local and global context. - Technology Incorporate sustainability in the creation of technology: shift paradigms from individual competitiveness, economic profitability and a short-term focus to the collective, with social and human benefits and sustainable in the long term. 3. Views on Implementation: What are the views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap, which relevant actors are envisaged as being involved (Governments, specific Major Groups, UN system, IFIs, etc.) It is necessary to shorten the time in which knowledge reaches society. The democratization of knowledge and education must bring better decisions and actions based on a suitable use of knowledge. The access to education and specially to higher education is an indicator of human development and there is a co-relation between education and the eradication of poverty (source: GUNI Reports on Higher Education in the World). 4. Implementation Tools and Timelines: What specific cooperation mechanisms, partnership arrangements or other implementation tools are envisaged and what is the relevant time frame for the proposed decisions to be reached and actiond to be implemented? Open up to society: proactive engagement in dialogue with citizens and the rest of social, cultural and economic stakeholders. Create a true knowledge-based society through engagement with society as a whole. Provide a plurality of expert advice in dealing with Green economy, poverty and the sustainable development goals. The creation of real partnerships for the co-creation of knowledge and answers to problems and to co-create visions for the future. Partnerships between higher education institutions (at all levels or scales), partnerships with the community stakeholders, and partnerships with governements, NGOs, civil associations, etc. Become cosmopolitan centres of global culture: build bridges between different cultures and sources of knowledge. Knowledge is no longer produced exclusively by and consumed within universities. Instead, their task should be to connect different kinds of knowledge, forging links between knowledge and citizenship. The Role of Tertiary Education HEIs can play a significant role in building a sustainable paradigm. They may help in facing local and global challenges, facilitating society to answer major global challenges. Their vision and action could be reinforced with a role review towards the creation and distribution of socially relevant knowledge in education and research and in the relationship with communities. They can support, and even anticipate, ways for action to play a proactive and committed role in rebuilt societies. Higher education can prepare people to handle complex realities in a simple way and they should integrate emotional abilities with instrumental and knowledge related abilities. They can train people to learn to learn; to fully understand auncertainty and change; to handle a vast and complex universe of data from many sources and of of many different natures; and to discriminate between information, knowledge and wisdom. They can train people to understand what we are, what we are like and how to be, both as individuals and as a group, and to manage their own education and development troughout life. It is an education based on the development of the individual. It is about learning to be, to know, to do, to live together and to transform oneself and society. All this implies personal, family and societal well-being; respecting and searching for knowledge and wisdom; engagement in productive work and recreation; social justice and cohesion; inter-cultural and international co-operation and peace; food security; active citizenship; futures thinking; responsible lifestyles; sharing of resources; and adaptability.

ZF-11106: Harcoded white space with value of '1' instead of 'barThinWidth'
In Code25 and Code39, whitespaces between characters are hardcoded with value of '1' instead of 'barThinWidth'. If you do this:
This leads to smaller barcode but not smaller image => textual characters are not centered
Fixed with r23755, merged to 1.11 branch with r23756
I am still running into trouble with the Code128 barcode that I'm using throughout my application. I am also using Leitcode and Identcode and these seem not to be affected at the moment, it seems to just be Code128 for me at the moment.
I applied the http://framework.zend.com/code/revision.php/… patch to my local ZF installation and generated some barcodes. This is still the result.
Argh! :(
I omit line 232 in Code128.php:
$barcodeTable[] = array($c, 1, 0, 1);
should be:
$barcodeTable[] = array($c, $this->_barThinWidth, 0, 1);
I will patch it this evening
New patch with r23760 and merged in 1.11 branch with r23761
I can confirm that the implemented fix indeed solves the problem.

ZF-2336: Promote Zend_Validate_Barcode and friends to core for release
Once unit testing for each file of the component reaches 80% LOC coverage and there exists satisfactory DocBook documentation for the APIs, the Zend_Validate_Barcode component needs to be promoted to core (i.e., moved to trunk with unit tests and documentation integrated).
Andries, what is the status of Zend_Validate_Barcode? Should it be included in the preview release?
Wil, everything besides DocBook documentation is done.
Documentation is done, ready to promote to core.
We should have some deterministic method to arrive on constant values used in the {{Zend_Validate_*}} classes. See [ZF-2397] for more information. I'm not sure which approach would be best, but we should pick something. For the short term, I suggest the following:
Zend_Validate_Barcode_UpcA::INVALID = 'invalid';
Zend_Validate_Barcode_UpcA::INVALID_LENGTH = 'invalidLength';
(and similarly for Zend_Validate_Barcode_Ean13)
The questions in my mind are whether or not to "mirror" the constant names with the values, and whether or not to include "namespaces", such as in the following:
Zend_Validate_Barcode_UpcA::INVALID = 'Zend_Validate_Barcode_UpcA::INVALID';
I resolved this in r8210
Fixed for next minor release with SVN r8211.

HPSN2 frequently asked questions
What bandwidth do secondary schools get?
Secondary schools will benefit from a new 100 Mbps connection.
What bandwidth do primary schools get?
With a few exceptions, all schools are automatically getting double their current bandwidth.
- Primary schools on 2Mb with SWAN will double to 4Mb with HPSN2
- Primary schools on 4Mb with SWAN will double to 8Mb with HPSN2
Is 8Mb enough for primary schools?
Currently we believe that the answer is yes, but as more web or cloud-based applications become available, schools may want to increase their bandwidth. HPSN2 is a twenty-first century network and schools can request a bandwidth increase at any time.
If we share our SWAN connection with another school, will both schools move to HPSN2 at the same time?
Yes, this is the agreed approach.
Will we be charged for the digging work?
There is no charge to schools for any installation work associated with the migration from SWAN to HPSN2.
Will the playground have to be dug up?
If your school is an on-net school Virgin Media Business will have to lay a new duct for the HPSN2 fibre. The Virgin Media Business planner will in all cases work with the school to agree a route. We will always try to avoid disruptive routes where possible, but it may be that for a small number of schools the route may have to go across an area of playground or car park etc. In those cases the work is scheduled to cause minimum disruption to the school.
If digging is required, what is the quality of reinstatement (make good) of any surface?
The quality of making good to hard paved areas will be in compliance with the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. Soft landscaped areas will be reinstated to the condition it was found before installation. Generally the installers will strip turf along the extent of the trench and keep it to one side for reinstatement, watering as necessary. Sports pitches are to be avoided for cable runs. Where the condition of the grass sward is poor, they will reinstate with turf or seed selected for the specific soil and site conditions. They will prepare the ground and ameliorate it as recommended by the turf/seed supplier, and allow for ground settlement following backfilling and watering to ensure the grass gets established. All trench and ducting work is supported by a 12 month warranty period.
How much negotiation is there on the route?
Virgin Media Business will adopt a consultative approach when considering construction routes for the delivery of ethernet connections into schools. Where possible we will consider the aesthetics of the surrounding areas and will take all reasonable endeavours to agree a duct route that minimises disruption to the day-to-day school activities and keeps scarring and spoil to a minimum.
Will all contractors be CRB checked?
Yes, all contractors will be CRB checked. Spot checks will be carried out.
If we are currently a shared site, will we get our own line?
The arrangements for shared lines stay the same. But as before, if you do share a line your bandwidth is 'protected'. That means if you are paying for 8Mbps you get 8Mbps. The school sharing the line cannot access any of that bandwidth - it's exclusively yours.
If we are currently a shared site, what happens if the other site doesn't go for HPSN2?
That may cause us to have to do a little bit of extra work, but that will be part of the project and the school on HPSN2 will be unaffected and will see no change to the service or get any extra costs.
If we are a federated school how will we be charged?
Non-federated schools pay a lump sum plus a cost per pupil.
But for federated schools the lump sum is divided up between the schools in the federation.
Flexible Web Filtering
- Is the cost of Flexible Web Filtering included?
Yes, the costs of filtering are covered by the HPSN2 annual charges. If there is training required for the use of the flexible element that may be charged.
- Is filtering down to the teacher or local management?
Schools that want to manage their own web content filtering will be given access to a delegated administration front end that will give them control over which categories and individual websites are allowed or blocked. Please note, illegal and unacceptable sites (as defined by Becta and IWF) will be blocked centrally.
Flexible Web Filtering is available now.

ZF-8903: Zend_Validate_Float requires $locale to be a locale or specifically null
As of 1.10.0 it appears that Zend_Validate_Float requires the locale to be either specifically null or a locale. This is all well and good except when used with Zend_Form an empty array is sent to the validator instead of null. Therefore Zend_Validate_Float tries to retrieve the locale 'array' which obviously doesn't exist!
The quick fix is to add a quick empty() check on the $locale and set the locale to null.
The problem occurs when you set messages and pass options into Zend_Form_Element. If there are no options set then nothing is passed to the validator. If only messages are set an empty array is set. If the first element of the array is the value then it all works fine. The first element can be a locale or null and it works as expected.
In short the default null value is being overwritten and the validator requires it to be null when it should be empty.
It worked fine in 1.9.7.
The below code passes an empty array to the validator:
'validators' => array(
array('Float', true,
array('messages' => array(
Zend_Validate_Float::NOT_FLOAT => 'The quantity should be a number.',
The below code works as expected:
'validators' => array(
array('Float', true,
'messages' => array(
Zend_Validate_Float::NOT_FLOAT => 'The quantity should be a number.',
Also before 1.10 Zend_Validate_Float allowed to give a null or a locale.
Fixed Zend_Form_Element as with r20538

A tool to help improve your golf swing.
Swingbyte is one of several new golf training aids that have been popping up in the last few years. I wish I had been able to review this sooner and spend some additional time with it, but, unfortunately, golf season has wound down here in Chicago. As a high handicapper (18.1), but avid golfer, I found this swing aid to be extremely informative. However, since Swingbyte is a tool designed to be a self-aid, only those with at least a moderate level of golf knowledge will benefit from it.
Swingbyte fits on any club, from a driver through a putter. It weighs less than one ounce, so you do not feel much after strapping it to your club. Before you begin swinging, there are a couple things that need to be done.
Download the Swingbyte app from the Google Play store or Apple's App Store. The device pairs to your smartphone, tablet or iPod touch (fourth generation and newer) via Bluetooth. After Swingbyte is paired on your device, open the app and tap Add Swings. The app will then record your swings, which can be viewed in real time, or saved for later on.
The app provides a 360-degree view of your swing. The best part of the device is that it allows you to see your swing plane, which is the area that most golfers need help with. The view of the swing from above enables users to follow the swing plane of the back swing all the way through the follow-through. The program also shows you whether your swing is coming from outside-in, which promotes a "slice" or "fade," or inside-out, which leads to "draws" or "hooks."
In addition to swing-plane measurements, the app allows users to gauge their mechanics. The app shows swing speed, tempo and angle of approach. The swing speed provides an idea of the type of shaft you should be using on your golf clubs and whether the ones you have are a right fit. The tempo measures how long your swing takes. This is an important area to keep track of, as most golfers swing too quickly. Swinging hard does not necessarily generate more club-head speed. Finally, the angle of approach measures whether the club is "open" or "closed" at impact. If you want to work on bending the ball, an open clubface promotes a fade, while a closed clubface promotes a draw. For average golfers, the clubface should be neutral, which promotes a straight shot.
Swingbyte costs $149 to buy, which is reasonable for this type of training aid. Once again, it takes a moderate amount of golf knowledge to understand what the analysis is telling you. However, it's much cheaper than actual golf lessons, which can be over $100 an hour.

VMware ESXi
Automate Daily Operations with Scripting Tools
To automate the management of VMware vSphere hosts, VMware has created easy-to-use scripting tools for managing day-to-day operations. You can write scripts with the same functionality as the vSphere client to automate manual tasks, allowing you to manage small-to large-scale environments efficiently. These tools work well with vSphere hosts using the VMware ESXi architecture, allowing you to easily administer vSphere environments.
VMware vSphere PowerCLI
VMware vSphere PowerCLI is a powerful command line tool for automating all aspects of vSphere management, including host, network, storage, VM, guest OS and more. PowerCLI is distributed as a Windows PowerShell snap-in and includes more than 150 PowerShell cmdlets, along with documentation and samples. PowerCLI seamlessly blends the vSphere platform with Windows and .NET, which means you can use PowerCLI by itself or within many different third-party tools.
VMware vSphere Command Line Interface
VMware vSphere Command Line Interface (vCLI) is a set of command-line utilities that help you provision, configure and maintain your vSphere hosts. The vCLI command set allows you to run common system administration commands against vSphere hosts from any machine with network access to those hosts. You can also run most vCLI commands against a vCenter Server system and target any vSphere host that the VMware vCenter Server system manages. There are commands that can completely automate the initial configuration of a vSphere host and others that provide troubleshooting and diagnostic capabilities. VMware provides vCLI packages for installation on both Windows and Linux systems.
Both PowerCLI and vCLI are built on the same interface as the vSphere Client. They can be pointed directly at an individual vSphere host or they can be pointed at vCenter. When pointed at a host, they can execute commands directly on the host, similar to how a command might be traditionally run from the COS. Local authentication is required in this case. Alternatively, when communicating through vCenter, the vCLI and PowerCLI commands benefit from the same authentication (e.g. Active Directory), roles and privileges, and event logging as vSphere Client interactions. This provides for a much more secure and audit-able management framework.


text: Feb 27, 2013 18:12 Miss Sophie Lee unveils 'Love Street Lullaby' at Three Muses Miss Sophie Lee unveils 'Love Street Lullaby' at Three Muses Miss Sophie Lee Miss Sophie Lee Shruti Chowdhary| Special to the theadvocate.com Jan. 29, 2013; 4:08 p.m. Comments Music and food have been running through Miss Sophie Lee's veins since childhood, and what better place to flourish in the cultures of those entities than New Orleans? Lee was raised by a single mother in Chicago. When her mother moved to Mississippi, Lee followed to help take care of her. "From Tupelo, Miss., I would come to New Orleans quite a bit," Lee recalled. "My father and I were estranged for most of my life. When we got back in touch, I found out that he was from the Louisiana-Mississippi area. I was being drawn here by my roots and things beyond my control." Knowing she wanted to be fully immersed in music and food, Lee relocated to New Orleans to build a life around the things she loved. Working artists often supplement their income by waiting tables and bartending, and Lee was no exception. "I was waitressing at a restaurant on Frenchman Street," Lee said as she spoke of her first days in the city. "I also worked at Stella, then at Marigny Brasserie. I sang at The Spotted Cat. I knew what my goals were, so I was paying lots of attention to everything." Lee's ultimate goal was to open her own bar/restaurant. So, while she sang at The Spotted Cat, Lee kept a keen eye on the business side of things. Years of research working in bars and restaurants helped Lee visualize her life beyond singing. When the chance came to realize her dream, Lee and two partners, Christopher Starnes and chef Daniel Esses, opened Three Muses, a bar/restaurant on Frenchman Street. "While there was a lot of great music and a lot of great restaurants, there weren't many places that did drinks, music and food all at the same time. So, those are Three Muses, as well," Lee said. In addition to owning Three Muses, Lee has kept her focus on the other aspect of her dream. On Lee's debut album, "Tallulah Moon," she worked with 13 musicians. Out of those musicians, four eventually became her regular playing partners. "Love Street Lullaby," Lee's newest album, is the official debut of Lee and her band. The lineup includes Lee (vocals), Dave Boswell (trumpet), Matt Johnson (guitar), Bart Ramsey (piano and accordion) and Tommy Sciple (upright bass). The album also features special guests Matt Rhody (voilin) and Chris Kohl (clarinet). Among the collection of traditional jazz covers, there are three originals on the new album -- the ideas for which came to Lee in the middle of the night. "I would dream about the chords and take notes on my iPhone," she said. "I'd think of the words and flesh out the chords with my piano player, then take it to the band to flesh out their parts." Lee's message to the world is transparent in her music, as well as in the food and drinks at Three Muses – to love and be loved, a tenet that has also been a driving force all her life. "The biggest influence in my life has been my mother," Lee said. "She was a woman full of love. She took care of everybody. That sort of rubbed off on me. It's part of my nature to give as much love as possible and surround myself with positivity." Lee and her band are hosting a release party for "Love Street Lullaby" at Three Muses at 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 2. They also perform every Thursday evening at The Spotted Cat on Frenchman Street in New Orleans. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Cruzamentos: Contemporary Brazilian Documentary, a presentation of more than 30 contemporary documentaries rarely screened outside of Brazil, will screen January through April, 2014 at the Wexner Center. Organized by Chris Stults, associate curator for film/video at the center, this is the largest series of Brazilian documentaries ever presented in North America and includes 24 feature films and 15 short films, dating from 1974 to the present, as well as several visiting filmmaker appearances.
In preparing for this series, Stults immersed himself in Brazilian culture, cinema, literature, and music to research and plan the project, traveling to destinations around Brazil and working closely with filmmakers, artists, and scholars and others both there and in the United States.
"International audiences may be familiar with Brazilian cinema thanks to recent hits such as Central Station, City of God, or Elite Squad—or, going further back, the Cinema Novo movement of the 1960s and 70s—but relatively few know that the country is producing some of the world's most innovative and captivating documentaries," says Stults. "This program, which would not be possible without innumerable conversations and collaborations with filmmakers, artists, curators, archivists, writers, scholars, and festival directors—both here and in Brazil—presents an tremendous opportunity to explore this extraordinary wave of significant documentaries."
Says Wexner Center Director Sherri Geldin, "This series promises the first truly in-depth look at the rich documentary film tradition in Brazil, and we are thrilled that following its presentation at the Wexner Center, the series will travel to New York, Boston, San Francisco, and elsewhere."
Brazilian filmmakers have historically moved between documentaries and fiction films with regularity, and this series spotlights some of the most significant contemporary filmmakers, including a number who will be visiting in the latter half of the series to introduce and discuss their works in-person: João Moreira Salles (who will provide a keynote lecture for a Cruzamentos symposium on March 26 and will join Eduardo Coutinho in conversation on March 27), Cao Guimarães (March 28), and Karim Aïnouz (April 9 & 10). Other filmmakers of note whose work will be screened as part of Cruzamentos are Leon Hirszman, José Padilha, Glauber Rocha, Rogério Sganzerla, and Walter Salles. Although most of the series will focus on the particularly adventurous work made in the 21st century, several important antecedents will be included, including Twenty Years Later (Eduardo Coutinho, 1985).
The Cruzamentos film series shares a title with the exhibition, Cruzamentos: Contemporary Art in Brazil, which will be in the Wexner Center galleries February 1–April 20, 2014. The two projects were developed and researched in tandem, and each complements the other. As with the exhibition, the film series aims to extend the ideas behind the Portuguese word "cruzamentos" (literally "crossings" or "intersections," but also, more poetically, "hybridity") to contemporary documentary.
Both the film series and the exhibition are among the projects made possible by a grant to the Wexner Center from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in 2009, which allowed the Wex to embark on an in-depth look at contemporary visual and media arts culture of Brazil, concentrating on the almost 30 years of artistic production in the country since the fall of its dictatorship in 1985. The ongoing initiative—called Via Brasil—also includes a complementary website, a translation of writing by film critic Paulo Emílio Sales Gomes, an academic symposium, a graduate-level seminar at Ohio State, and performing arts events, among other projects.

This everyday tote bag features a pattern of handwoven ikat, made by a collective of 46 men and women in Cheu Teal Village in Takeo Province, Cambodia. They use traditional ikat methods to make the fabric starting with creating the pattern, tying the pattern, hand dying, spinning thread onto spindles and finally the weaving. These fabrics are a blend of the traditional and newa centuries old craft used to create bold, modern textiles.
The bag features 100% cotton ikat with leather handles and a malabar seed charm. Three pleated interior pockets and an inner key fob help you stay organized. Comes with a cotton storage and travel bag.
15"W x 13"H x 5"D. Three inner pockets: one that is 11"W and two that are each 5 1/2"W. Two 27"-long straps. Blue cotton canvas lining.
Ikat is a type of weaving where the pattern emerges according to how the warp and weft threads are dyed. The name comes from a Javanese word meaning "to tie or bind," and it refers to the process of coloring the threads. Bundles of cotton, silk, or wool are either tied or painted with wax according to predetermined patterns. When the bundles are dipped in dye, the wrapped areas resist the colorsimilar to tie-dye. The bundles may be dyed, rinsed, dried, and re-dyed multiple times.
Then, as the threads are woven, patterns emerge in precise blocks of color, or soft blended patterns. In double ikat, both the warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) threads are dyed, a process that takes great skill and planning to envision the final textile.
Although the word has Southeast Asian origins, ikat is common in South America, too, especially among pre-Columbian indigenous cultures. Guatemala especially is known for its double-ikat woven cotton, which is often created on manual back-strap looms. Uzbekistan in Central Asia is famous for intricate silk ikat weavings that came to Europe and Japan via Silk Road traders. Because of the great time and skill involved, the most complex ikat fabrics are traditional symbols of prestige and power.

Germany's defence minister on Monday resisted mounting pressure to resign over a scrapped spy drone deal, as Chancellor Angela Merkel said she continued to back him.
Thomas de Maiziere, a close Merkel ally, faced reporters for the second time in a week just three months before a general election to dismiss calls for his head over millions in wasted taxpayer money.
De Maiziere reiterated that he had made mistakes in overseeing the so-called Euro Hawk drone project but had taken the right decision to pull the plug on it last month.
"The end result, which came about via a faulty process, is for me no reason to resign but rather grounds and an impetus to avoid such mistakes in future," he said.
Yet in a further bid to ratchet up the pressure, the centre-left opposition said immediately after the minister's news conference that it would open a parliamentary inquiry into the so-called Euro Hawk affair before the September 22 poll.
It has stepped up calls in recent days for De Maiziere to take his leave, arguing that he misled deputies in testimony on the scandal.
However Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert stressed again Monday that De Maiziere had her "full confidence".
De Maiziere has acknowledged that he was kept in the dark for too long on problems with the unmanned surveillance aircraft programme, which had already gobbled up more than 500 million euros ($660 million) before he axed it.
Officials feared aviation authorities would not certify the Euro Hawk -- a version of US-based Northrop Grumman's Global Hawk customised by Europe's EADS -- because it lacks an anti-collision system.
The ministry decided the cost of adding such a system was too high, in what German media have dubbed the "drone debacle".
De Maiziere had figured on the short list of possible candidates to eventually take the reins from Merkel.
But the drone scandal has largely silenced such talk.
Merkel has a wide lead in opinion polls but the Euro Hawk affair has this month become a time-consuming distraction for her government.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 by 8 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JF34 So Cute! I love this set! It adds a splash of color to my kitchen, while still being functional. It's a fun conversation piece. October 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by juke Really Cute I bought these dolls/measuring cups as stocking stuffers because I thought they were really cute, not because I thought they would ever get used. Well, the two ladies I gave them to said they are now their favorite measuring cups. They are sturdy, dishwasher safe (the colors don't fade), and a wonderful conversation piece in their kitchens. Guess I hit the jackpot ! January 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by inimitablea These dolls make baking fun! My sister gave these to me as a gift. I love their bright colors so much that I leave them on my counter all the time. They've withstood 3-4 times a week baking for 2 years, and that's with children often helping in the kitchen. They aren't precise measurements, but they're pretty close, and worth it for the whimsy, in my opinion. The 1/2 cup had an accident with the floor tonight, so I started searching Amazon for another set. I don't know why I didn't think to look here. I'll definitely be purchasing another set! October 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by mavericksmommy Great product My husband bought these for me as a gift. I absolutely love them and get many compliments on them from guests who frequent our home. I would consider the "pinch" to be more in line with a teaspoon... but the other measurements seem to be inline with my measuring cups. I love to bake and bake on a daily basis. This makes it even more fun! I have already recommended them to friends and family. LOVE THEM! August 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by YoungWarrior CUTE! on the first set i purchased, the top didnt fit one of the dolls(they are handmade! its kinda figured!), but the associates were very helpful in an exchange and the new set is perfect. i love that it is unique and colorful! it is functional but still looks cute enough that i can leave it out as decor! im re-doing my kitchen decor around these! :) June 11, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Boffo Just a bit off... While these stacking doll measuring cups are adorable and unique, the design on mine does not quite line up, as the top is not quite round and doesn't fit the correct way. I am considering an exchange but might just keep them the way they are. February 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Catherine Old World Measurments These are super cute measuring cups but despite what measurements they're listed on they're extremely inaccurate. The one-cup cup is grossly over a standard cup size. If you plan on backing with these.... don't. Baking requires very accurate measurements and these aren't. They're more like what I'd call an "grandmother's" measurements... someone who's been cooking for so long starts eyeballing measurements and eventually just finds their own personal definition of "a cup" or "a half cup". And that's what these are. I'm sure they're great for down home cooking where measurements are less integral but don't expect any high chef quality out of them. Another complaint I have about them is that they're made incorrectly. They don't actually stack. They rest on top of each other but don't close and so the top bits are always falling off the lower bits and risk breaking. They haven't yet, but they haven't fallen far yet. I think they're cute and I bought mine for decoration because I collect matroyshka dolls. But they're extremely shoddy craftsmanship and design. There are pits in the ceramic glaze, even. July 26, 2011
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jessann89 Not good experience I collect measuring cups and was planning as using these as decorations... too bad the largest one won't stand on it's own. The top doesn't even barely fit it is completely swallowed by the bottom one. I also live an hour away from the store so it's a HUGE inconvenience to return them. October 6, 2012

ZF-6148: Dijit parsing before store creation results in FilteringSelect and ComboBox.
This issue duplicates #5987.
I have got JavaScript error: 'dojo.data is undefined' after migrating to ZF 1.7.7. It seems that JavaScript tried to create new instance of dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore, but it is not loaded yet.
ItemFileReadStore instance should be created after page load, using dojo.addOnLoad method. I think that using prependOnLoad (look at the first comment) instead of addJavascript (in ComboBox.php line 142).
The following code was generated by Dojo View helper:
dojo.addOnLoad(function() {
dojo.forEach(zendDijits, function(info) {
var n = dojo.byId(info.id);
if (null != n) {
dojo.attr(n, dojo.mixin({ id: info.id }, info.params));
var manufacturerStore = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({"url":"\/manufacturer\/list"});
var modelStore = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({"url":"\/model\/list"});
var zendDijits = [{"id":"manufacturer","params":{"label":"Manufacturer","store":"manufacturerStore","dijitParams",........}}];
Just to say that i have exactly the same problem. With this code :
$nom = new Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_FilteringSelect('nom'); $nom->setLabel('Nom : '); $nom->setAutoComplete(true); $nom->setStoreId('nom'); $nom->setStoreType('dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore'); $nom->setStoreParams(array('url' => '/js/nom.js')); $nom->setAttrib(array('searchAttr' => 'nom')); $nom->setRequired(true); $form->addElement($nom);
i get the same Javascript error :
dojo.data is undefined
and, of course, an empty select field.
Tested with ZF 1.7.8.
Regards, Stephane.
ZF 1.8.3 is still affected by this issue despite of #5987 being closed.
Finally have it working correctly. prependOnLoad() does not work, as that method is used by the dojo view helper inernally just prior to rendering to create the dijits -- which means that the dijit creation happens prior to store creation. I did figure it out, however, based on a comment on ZF-5987 by Erik Wahlstrom, and now have an onLoad event that creates the store and assigns it to the dijit's store attribute. I've tested this locally and the solution is solid.
The changes have been patched to trunk and the 1.8 release branch, and will go out with 1.8.4.
this ZF 1.8.4 fix seems to break the following setup, known to work in ZF 1.8.3: 1/ store is statically defined in a view :
2/ filteringselect only sets up store property to targe the statically defined store : $element->setDijitParams( array( 'store' => 'myStore' ) );
With this setup and ZF 1.8.4, FilteringSelect appears empty while myStore is populated
Why am I doing things like this ? Because this is the only way I found to have a filteringselect combo working when loaded into a dojox.dialog (=dojo.dialog + executescript) with a xhrget request.
I have the same problem than Jean-Fabrice. All my filtering select are empty. I have some "linked" filteringselect, when I make change on the first list, the second is affected. Now this dont work at all...
And I've a lot of filtering select in my webapp, what must I do ????
I don't know where else to put this comment, It probably is a new bug, or there might be a better work around.
In 1.8.4, doing something like this in a view:
echo $this->filteringSelect( 'select', '20', array( 'store' => 'store', 'storeType' => 'dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore', 'storeParams' => array('url' => '/my/data')) );
Fails, the 'value' is not set because the store is not loaded when it it parses the input. With a filteringSelect the input remains a textbox with the value set, but it is not a dojo object, and everything else on the page breaks. With a comboBox the value and label are set to the identifier value that I am passing instead of the label getting set properly (assuming because combo box allows things not in the store). I tried putting a 'value' option in the params array, but that doesn't seem to propagate, and even if I test this by hand it still doesn't load properly because of the way things are getting parsed.
Anyone have any idea's? Besides creating all this stuff by hand?

ZF-9212: Zend_Validate_PostCode error message problem
Zend_Validate_PostCode needs:
inside isValid() method
Please give something which is reproducable. Just a "xxx needs" or "xxx should be" is not enough.
Changing from Patch to Bug as no patch has been assigned to this issue.
If you attach this Validator to Zend_Form like:
(...) 'validators' => array (new Zend_Validator_Postcode('pl_PL')), (...)
And write in form for example string "hello" it shows error like:
"'' is wrong formated postcode"
Message in Zend_Validator_Postcode is set to "'%value%' is wrong formated postcode"
And as you can see in this weak example that %value% is not set in isValid() method.
Sorry for this not formal code but I`m out of office now.
Fixed with r21107

Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 Party (39 photos)

Now what you have all been waiting for, more party details and pictures. I of course had a mini wedding cake not exactly what I ordered but oh well. I will not let a slight detail ruin my party. I had some mini Christmas trees that purchased at the after Christmas sales for $1.79 each. I also purchased some lighted branches at the end of the Christmas season for $10. I placed the cake stand on top of some moss covered foam board I purchased after Halloween. I think they were used to display Halloween decorations but once I saw them I knew they would be perfect for the party. I spread throughout some pine cones, led tea lights, ferns and more artificial flowers. I think it added to the effect of really being in the woods.
Back to my table scape, floating branches and hundreds of paper flower hanging over my gorgeous centerpiece. Candles, light branches, Christmas lights, and led tea lights. All set the dramatic and gorgeous vision I had in my head. Yes, creating this setting did consist of a lot of time and work but it was definitely a labor of love. I enjoy creating another world and blowing away expectations.
As my guests arrived I had the songs played during their wedding in the back ground creating an even more romantic and intimate setting for my guests. Below are a few pictures of my dorky friends taking wild jumping pictures. They are all so gorgeous that they could be vampires themselves, even though some of them were not on that team.

ZF-6502: Zend_Application_Resource_Modules does not correctly compute Bootstrap classname
When Zend_Application_Resource_Modules works to use a module with a dash in it, it does not work correctly. When it comes across a module name (and directory name) of item-type, it tries to look for a class called "item-type_Bootstrap".
This does not agree with how things are done in Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Abstract->_formatName();
A simple fix would be to replace the line:
$bootstrapClass = ucfirst($module) . '_Bootstrap';
in Zend_Application_Resource_Modules with:
$segment = str_replace(array('-', '.'), ' ', strtolower($module)); $segment = preg_replace('/[^a-z0-9 ]/', '', $segment); $module = str_replace(' ', '', ucwords($segment)); $bootstrapClass = ucfirst($module) . '_Bootstrap';
Fixed in trunk and 1.8 release branch.
Line 111 in this fix is unnessesary.
$name = ucwords($name);
Um, yes, that line is necessary -- that's precisely the functionality implemented in the dispatcher's getModuleName() method (via _formatName()). It allows the ability to translate foo-bar to FooBar -- without ucwords(), it would be simply Foobar -- which is incorrect.
Yes, the function ucwords() is necessary, but it's used twice: lines 111-112
OOps! Thanks -- I've updated the code now to remove the extraneous call.

Cheered by NYC Hispanic Society Sanitation Department members seated atop a sanitation truck, serenaded by DJs blasting salsa music and wedged between Goya and Coca-Cola floats, Catholic Charities joined the National Puerto Rican Day Parade on June 8, 2014 to celebrate Puerto Rican pride, drum up support to feed our hungry neighbors and promote the vast array of services we provide those in need.
As hundreds of thousands of marchers and onlookers packed Manhattan's 5th Avenue, Catholic Charities staff distributed prayer cards, fans and memorabilia complete with Catholic Charities phone numbers to draw attention to the growing hunger crisis and let New Yorkers know how to contact us for help.
Like the Puerto Rican community, Catholic Charities is part of the fabric of New York City. For more than 100 years, Catholic Charities has helped solve the problems of New Yorkers in need, non-Catholics and Catholics alike. The neglected child, the homeless family and the hungry senior among those who rely on us for help.
But with poverty up and food stamps (now called S.N.A.P.) down due to recent federal cuts, lines are growing at Catholic Charities food pantries across the archdiocese. Hunger has exploded throughout New York; one out of nearly every two children in the largely Hispanic community of East Harlem lives in poverty.
Our Feeding Our Neighbors Campaign is fighting back with a goal of raising enough funds to provide one million meals for the hungry. The Goya Corporation made a significant dent in this goal, splitting a donation of 5,000 pounds of rice, beans and specialty foods between Catholic Charities St. Cecilia's food pantry in East Harlem and a food pantry run by Little Sisters of the Assumption Family Health Service, an affiliate of Catholic Charities.
Find your friends in our Puerto Rican Day Parade slide show.

Journelle VIP Party
Journelle, one of New York City's premiere lingerie retailers, took a summer road trip to Chicago. Pulling into the city in The Grey Lady, a retrofitted 1970 Land Yacht airstream, Journelle towed 17 feet of lingerie loveliness for the women of Chicago to enjoy. In celebration of the arrival of The Grey Lady, CS and Journelle invited Chicago's most stylish to an exclusive preview party at Nellcote. Guests enjoyed delicious appetizers, champagne and admired the prettiest delicates. The following day, The Grey Lady set up shop in Chicago's River North neighborhood for an exclusive pop-up shop. Journelle's team helped guests find the right shape and size as they shop the "best of" selections of fashion lingerie and everyday basics while sipping champagne.

"Last year, when it was such a horrible fire season and the cost to the state was excessive, there was a plan to call a special session and give the state forester the power to eliminate target shooting in certain areas of the state for a limited amount of time," Dayton said. "It was decided by the legal counsel that we didn't need to have a special session, that he could just proceed with that power, which he did. Then there was a discussion that maybe this needs to be clarified in the state statute."
Dayton said she has received very emotional feedback both for and against the bill.
"There has been more for than against it," she said. "I think it's great when there is legislation that generates so much citizen participation."
Dayton added that the bill isn't about guns.
"Target shooting isn't a constitutional right," she said. "I would never run a bill that interferes with the constitutional right to carry, because I am a very pro-gun legislator, as my record indicates."
Last year, target shooting restrictions were implemented in designated areas of Summit County, as well as Utah, Davis and Cache counties.
"It was just in specific areas that were high risk.
The ban came just weeks after fire restrictions were implemented in Summit County.
"I've been here for 10 years, and that was probably the first time we've actually restricted shooting," he said. "At least one other time we went into fire danger restrictions but we didn't go into restricted shootings. But when it's an extreme risk, and where there is vegetation as dry as it was this past year, we can close areas up here that are at high risk."
Target shooting has been proven to cause fires, he added.
"And then when they start shutting down target shooting in the Salt Lake Valley, we don't want to have the valley folks coming up to Summit County to shoot and start fires. Then they leave and we end up with the bill," he said.
Few people complained about last year's fire restrictions, Boyer said.
"I had a few people who were upset that a couple areas were closed. And they drove all the way up here from the valley to shoot, but they couldn't shoot and had to drive back," he said. "And it's like, 'well, I'm sorry, but it was on the www.utahfireinfo.gov website with a map and a written description of the areas that were closed. So I'm sorry you drove all the way up but you didn't check to see if it was going to be an open area.'"
There have been several shooting-caused fires every year throughout the state, Boyer said.
"In the past 10 years, I've probably averaged one or two fires a year that have been started by shooting, and a couple others suspected of being caused by shooting," he said. "Up Weber Canyon, I've had at least three at homeowners association shooting ranges. There's been several in Richardson Flat. There's also been a number over the years that have been started up in the Echo area."
Boyer pointed out that the law doesn't guarantee there will be a restriction on target shooting.
"The conditions have to be severe enough that it's going to create a threat or very high risk," he said, then added. "This isn't to take gun rights away. It's to lessen the risk in those areas that are higher risk."
The bill passed successfully through two Senate committees but was temporarily removed from the calendar on Feb. 1 by Dayton for amendments before it is reintroduced to the Senate.
"We're still working on acceptable language for differing points of view," Dayton said. "We want to make sure the gun community, of which I am a member, does not feel threatened by putting power in the hands of the state forester."

Comments about Secrets of Wild India DVD-R:
This documentary compares with BBC series like Planet Earth, Wild Pacific, Wild China, etc. It is over two hours long and not a minute is wasted. It focuses entirely on the wildlife, and is actually narrated by Mr. Attenborough, narrator of many BBC series.I only wish it was available on Blu-ray.Also check out National Geographic's "Great Migrations" and "Untamed Americas" series, as both of them are superb also (and available on blu-ray).

ZF-3281: Validating a wrong date is rising warning
While i am validating a wrong date like 0345/56 from a format like dd/mm/yy i got this rised:
Notice: Undefined index: year in D:_Work\airportsb\library\Zend\Date.php on line 4644
Please give a code example for reproduction
Why would someone use a format which holds "day/minute/year" ? This is a really unusefull format and not even a "date".
Anyhow, the notice has been fixed with r9467.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

The references given in a comment (in thefreedictionary and urbandictionary) suggest the meaning, "to feel unhappy or strange because you are in a situation that you are not familiar with", but provide no sense of why it should mean that. It is a reference to classical elements, Earth, Water, Air, and Fire; as, for example, a fish out of water is out of its element.
Someone's "element" refers to their bailiwick of expertise or comfort. A doctor might be in her element in the operating room but out of her element in a garage.
The quote from The Big Lebowski can be interpreted as "This situation is not something you are comfortable or qualified to deal with."

I figured I'd start a new thread to focus on design specifics and semi conversion challenges.
For now, I'm toying with a sheetmetal shell that will need considerable bending work to get right - needs the rails bent, the lower "dimple" for the feed pawl arm, and I don't have any internal rails or the "ratchet plate" for the charging handle. I may throw some money at coldsteelsolutions if I can't figure all these details and use one of his sheetmetal shells instead. Time vs. money.
I figure I may be able to fabricate my own "ratchet plate" out of some steel tubing heated up and bent outward to the shape I need. Otherwise I'm not sure how best to go about fabricating this part.
About the internals.
I found a drawing of that Sig rifle I was thinking of - the STGW.57 It has a "firing lever" that the hammer strikes against. *Exactly* what I was envisioning!
Note how the hammer - #14 - strikes against the firing lever - #11.

Lions end Ingomar's season
The Falcons had the effort, but Biggersville made a few more plays in the 1A north half showdown last Thursday, resulting in a 70-62 win for the Lions.
"They made the plays and made a couple more shots there when we needed to," Falcons head coach Jonathan Ashley said.
"Couldn't ask for a better performance tonight. They gave me everything the have and left it all out on the court. Ingomar people appreciate that. You can't fault the effort."
The Lions raced out to a 13-2 lead in the first quarter, but Ingomar chipped away at that lead, and LaQuain Foster put the Falcons within five, 23-18, to end the frame. Foster had two big three-pointers for Ingomar in the first half, 12 points off the bench, to keep the Falcons close.
"It's probably one of the better games he's played this year," Ashley said of Foster. "He gave us that spark, and he's capable of playing well for us."
The Lions held a slim, 36-33, lead at the break, and quickly extended that to seven at the beginning of the third quarter. Ingomar kept the deficit within 10 until the fourth quarter, when Darian Barnett made it 49-39 early in the frame.
Twice in the final quarter, Ingomar worked with four points only to have the Lions respond soon after.
Henry Foster led Ingomar with 21 points, followed by 19 from LaQuain Foster. Jaylon Gaines and Daniel Simmons each had 25 points to lead Biggersville.
The Falcons had a successful season under Ashley in his first year at the school, finishing at 23-13 and as Union County champions.
"Going into this year, when I first took this job, looking at what they had coming back, I felt we had a chance to be successful.," Ashley said.
"The kids came out here and worked hard. At one point, we were 6-6 after losing to Houlka, and we weren't very tough or disciplined. We finally went to work and had great senior leadership. Once we did those things, it started to materialize in wins."

Excited to see what Fire Emblem and Pokemon characters got in. That's really all I care about. For me the game might as well be Super Smash Pokemon vs. Fire Emblem: Star Fox Edition.
I'm wondering which Mother characters are in. I know they're remaking Earthbound for the Wii U eShop ... so I wonder
Oh, they're remaking it? :O I thought it was just going to be ported.
They'll just add all the characters from Mother 3 to troll us.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by bhusgen Perfect baby spoon! I was on the search for something that wasn't plastic to use for feeding my baby. Stainless Steel was what I felt safest with. I love these little spoons. They are perfect for gripping in my hand and just the right size for my baby's mouth. I'm thrilled to have found such a WONDERFUL alternative to what you normally find for feeding (plastic spoons, plastic handles, silicone, etc)--and my baby has not had any problems with biting down on it, and hurting himself. These are so cheap, that I purchased 8 of them to have on hand between feedings. I wash them in the dishwasher, and they look wonderful wash after wash. After he is past needing small flatware, these are wonderful for stirring a cup of tea, or for my toddler to eat ice cream with. I love them! February 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Emilyy Great, but make sure to check the sizing A poor review on the Luna cocktail flatware collection mentions that they're very small, and that's the reason for the poor review. But, if you're looking for small flatware (like me!) they're just perfect. The cocktail soup spoon is very small, about 4 inches. I use mine (I have 2) to scoop spice mixes and rubs out of jars, to serve olives, and to otherwise get small things out of narrow jar openings or serve small things on a dinner table. I really like the whole Luna collection, which is smooth, nice to hold, and has some heft so they don't feel "cheap." January 27, 2014

Baltimore County News
Ed Adams
Baltimore County Director of Public Works
Every once in a while you'll hear in the national news about how our country is struggling to do basic maintenance and upgrade critical infrastructure like bridges, roads and water and sewer systems. Here in Baltimore County, thanks to strong fiscal management and a proactive approach to basic maintenance, we are working hard to keep our systems in good working order and ensure the safety of the public.
These maintenance and repair projects are great real-world examples of why it matters that the County is repeatedly awarded the highest possible bond rating. We are one of only 39 counties in the entire United States with a triple triple-A bond rating. Basically, it costs us less to finance important capital projects, so we are able to do more of them.
I am proud of the Administration, as well as the employees and contractors of the Department of Public Works, who have taken strides toward bringing the County's infrastructure into the 21st century - improving, rebuilding, modernizing and replacing bridges, roads, water mains, reservoirs, pumping stations, storm drains, sewer lines and man holes. At Public Works we strive to run our department based on common sense, accountability and compassion.
Here's a quick overview of the County's investment over the past three years:
$115.5 million for water projects, from FY 2011 to FY2013
$8.7 million to clean and line pipes
$35.9 million to lay new water pipes
$7.7 million for new pumping stations and storage tanks
$63.2 million to fund City/County facilities: reservoirs & treatment plants
$228.1 million
$11 million to reline sewer pipes
$5.3 million for new sewer lines
$47.8 million to rebuild 20 pumping stations
$76.5 million to fund City/County facilities, including treatment plants
$87.5 million for design, modeling, studies, and investigation
$14 million
$5.6 million to replace 7 bridges
$7.8 million to repair 5 bridges
$0.6 million for 2 wetland projects
Road Construction, Sidewalks & Alleys
$44.1 million 25 projects including:
$17 million for Owings Mills Boulevard
$7.5 million for Cherry Hill Road
$2.2 million for alleys
$24.2 million
$19.6 million to inspect 676 miles of pipes & manholes with video/other methods
$4.6 million to clean 1,575 miles of pipe
Solid Waste
$43 million
$9 million for the Central Acceptance Facility Transfer Station
$14 million for Central Acceptance Facility Single Stream Recycling System
$6 million to cap the Hernwood landfill
$.43 million for Parkton Landfill remediation
$1.5 million for Hernwood Landfill remediation
$12.1 million for Eastern Sanitary Landfill remediation
$50 million
$41.8 million to pave 220 miles
$8.2 million to install 67.5 miles of curb and gutter
Storm Drains
$5.6 million
$3.1 million to replace pipes and inlets for 36 projects
$1.2 million to design and install new drains and inlets for 25 projects
$1.3 million to fund flood studies, to locate utilities and computer support
$5.1 million
$.75 million for new and replacement traffic signals (includes new battery backups for 10 intersections)
$.25 million to provide traffic calming in 93 communities
$ 4.1 million to paint 3500 miles of road lines and install and maintain 22,700 signs

ZF-11870: Some inconsistencies between finding the controller and finding the view script in Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer
Using no user defined routes, the logic used to find a the controller and view are inconsistent and may find the controller without finding the script.
The following url:
Will hit NewsController, CaseStudiesAction, but barf when it tries to find 'news/case-studies-.phtml'.
Inspecting the Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer::getInflector(), we see why:
':module' => array('Word_CamelCaseToDash', 'StringToLower'), ':controller' => array('Word_CamelCaseToDash', new Zend_Filter_Word_UnderscoreToSeparator('/'), 'StringToLower', new Zend_Filter_PregReplace('/./', '-')), ':action' => array('Word_CamelCaseToDash', new Zend_Filter_PregReplace('#[^a-z0-9' . preg_quote('/', '#') . ']+#i', '-'), 'StringToLower'),
The controller regex will remove periods, while the action regex does not.
If it finds the controller, it should find the associated view script, per your documentation. Or, at the very least, a better exception than EXCEPTION_OTHER should be thrown, as it's currently not possible to reliably trigger a 404 condition, which it should. (it's logical to return a 500 for EXCEPTION_OTHER, while throwing a 404 for EXCEPTION_NO_CONTROLLER and EXCEPTION_NO_ACTION). Maybe an EXCEPTION_NO_SCRIPT? Or, better yet, have it find the viewscript if it finds the controller.
Duplicate of ZF-11204

text: Everything you ever heard about Led Zeppelin was true. They were like Lord Byron: mad, bad, and dangerous to know. They mixed Celtic riffs with the blues, and spiced it up with Indian and Arabic modes. It was pure chemistry: kind of like Howlin' Wolf meets the Loch Ness Monster. No way was it for the faint-of-heart. Led Zeppelin was the real deal, and it took like Mohammed in the desert. They were even big in Vietnam, where the troops bolted 8-track players onto their personnel carriers, and went into battle broadcasting "Whole Lotta Love." What I loved about Led Zeppelin, besides "Communication Breakdown," "The Song Remains the Same," "Cashmere," "No Quarter," and "The Rain Song," and about a hundred other songs, was that they didn't take themselves all that seriously. They had a no-bullshit mentality, and no compunction about using blues music to catapult their music into Caledonia's damn knickers. They were simply the best musicians going. You could put Jimmy Page against any guitar-player in the world. Same with Bonzo on the drums, and Zeppelin's unsung hero, John Paul Jones on bass, keyboards, and orchestrations. His musicianship and classical slant on things gave Zeppelin an added dimension that constantly kept them in a class of their own. And then there was Robert Plant. He came to the first New Yardbirds band rehearsal in New London, straight from his job building roads. He had tar on his hands and tar in his hair, and when he opened his mouth, it was like a fucking air-raid siren going off. Keith Moon told them it would go over like a lead zeppelin. For the next 12 years, they reigned as undisputed champions of rock, set an unattainable standard of music and mystique for those of us who tried to follow them.

ZF-1866: Zend_Server_Reflection should allow specifying docblock parameters for parameters not in the method signature
The class Zend_View_Helper_DeclareVars has a method {{declareVars()}} that reads its parameters with {{func_get_args()}}. The docblock declares a {{@param}} for variable arguments, but the function signature declares no parameters.
This is apparently legitimate coding practice according to example in http://php.net/func-get-args, but it break Zend_Server_Reflection. {{Zend_Server_Reflection_Function::_refect()}} makes an assumption that if a parameter is documented with a {{@param}} tag in the docblock, then there must be a corresponding parameter declared in the method signature.
Linking to related issue that affects Zend_Db_Table.
I'm re-marking this as a Zend_Server_Reflection bug, and re-titling the summary, as it's not really an issue with DeclareVars so much as with Zend_Server_Reflection not treating docblock params that are unmatched in the method signature as optional parameters.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Scheduling for next minor release.
Exception is thrown now if number of arguments doesn't correspond number of actual function arguments.
That should be the best solution for services.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

Belgian film maker Kevin Meul's short film wins the Grand Prize of the Jury in Seattle
Kevin Meul certainly makes a habit of winning. After already receiving the Meeting Point Award for Best Short Film at the Valladolid International Film Festival, and the Best Short at the British Independent Film Festival, he's taking home another $1000 as grand prize winner of the International Film Festival in Seattle.
These many prizes are awarded Meul for his spectacular short film 'Het bijzondere leven van Rocky de Vlaeminck' ('The extraordinary life of Rocky de Vlaeminck'). The juries at the Seattle Film Festival praise the film for being "full of sadistic humor, the intriguing adventures of a cursed boy"
The film is indeed bound to grab attention as we follow the misfortunate journey of a young boy surrounded by death and corruption. Leading actors are Kenneth Van Baeden, Ruth Becqaert, Wim Willaert and Jef Demedts.
Receiving the Grand Prize of the Jury out of 187 short films at the largest international film festival of the USA is a huge accomplishment. The festival had about 150,000 attendees.
