Amorphous silicon has long been the king of flat-panel displays. It began its reign in PC monitors and high-definition TV, then conquered netbooks, e-readers, and smartphones. No other substance was as suitable for the thin-film transistors that sit behind a display's hundreds of thousands of pixels, turning each one on or off.
But soon the dominion of amorphous silicon will pass, because it can't provide what coming generations of electronic products will require. For one thing, it isn't fast enough. Next-generation LCD TVs will be refreshed at least 240 times a second, which is two to four times as quick as today's versions; that way, they'll provide sharper fast-action sports and movies. Three-dimensional displays will need refresh rates twice again as high, to provide all that fast-motion goodness to each eye.
Nor are today's thin-film transistors stable enough for displays that use the organic light-emitting diode (OLED), a thin, efficient, high-contrast technology. Stability matters because the "threshold voltage" that an amorphous silicon transistor needs to turn on tends to drift as the transistor works. And both the problems of slow switching and drift get worse when amorphous silicon devices are made on flexible plastic, which is a critical design requirement for tomorrow's roll-up displays. Such displays will enable a laptop-size screen to fold away for storage inside a smartphone.
For these reasons, researchers and display manufacturers need a replacement in hand when the day comes for amorphous silicon to step down from its throne. And they already have their eyes set on a promising heir—in fact, a whole family of materials, known as amorphous oxide semiconductors. They're amorphous because like today's silicon standby, they lack a regular crystalline structure, and they're oxides because they're made of oxygen compounded with two or three metals, most commonly selected from zinc, indium, gallium, and tin.
Amorphous oxides can form thin films that are transparent and electrically conductive, which is why they already serve as the see-through electrode layer in displays and solar cells. It was this quality that led to the surge in research that began in 1996, when Hideo Hosono and his colleagues at the Tokyo Institute of Technology first noted the merits of amorphous transparent conducting oxides.
We believe that amorphous oxides could do more than simply serve as a passive electrode. They could also replace amorphous silicon as the active semiconducting material that does the heavy lifting as the channel in thin-film transistors.
Here's what's great about amorphous oxides: First and foremost, charge can zip through them 20 to 40 times as fast as in amorphous silicon. This speed is defined by a material's charge-carrier mobility, and the higher it gets, the faster transistors can switch.
Second, unlike amorphous silicon, amorphous oxides can be deposited at low temperatures without compromising their electronic properties. That means they can be laid down or even printed on pliable plastic sheets to make paperlike displays. Such printing could make flexible electronics cheap and ubiquitous. Finally, because the materials are transparent, they could be used in electronic-ink screens that could be laminated on windshields, windows, and eyeglasses.

Swimming Dominates Butler And Lindenwood In Double Dual Meet
Nov. 13, 2004
Indianapolis, Ind.- The University of Illinois at Chicago swimming team rattled off 10 straight individual event wins in rolling to double dual meet wins for both the men's and women's squads against host Butler and visiting Lindenwood on Saturday afternoon at the IUPUI Natatorium.
In a meet featuring solely swimming, the UIC men defeated Butler by a 138-34 count and downed Lindenwood 136-59. The Flames women won a 124-64 decision over the Bulldogs and defeated Lindenwood by a 127-53 mark.
Even without the consistent point-scoring from the diving squads, the Flames never trailed as UIC took 17 of 22 events, racing in the last four as exhibition events with the victories in hand.
Sophomore Blake Booher was dominating in the sprint free events, taking the 50-yard free in a career-best 20.86, a new team season-best, while swimming a 47.39 to win the 100 free.
Booher's 50 free time was just .13 away from breaking Dan Pienta's seven-year school record.
Edi Georg turned in a breakout performance for the second straight week, winning both the 1000 free (10:25.10) and the 200 backstroke (2:01.08). The wins marked Georg's first two-win meet performance of his career.
Dan Hare, coming off a superb two-win performance against UW-Milwaukee last Saturday that earned the rookie Horizon League Athlete of the Week accolades, continued to shine with a win in the 200-yard IM at 1:57.56 and a victory in the 500 free with a mark of 4:54.86.
Hare's time in the 200 breaststroke would have also qualfied for first place had the team not competed as exhibition racers with the team wins decided.
Freshman Jason Dews celebrated his first career win with a victory in the 200 butterfly, swimming a 1:59.89 to become the only competitor in the event with a sub-two-minute time.
LeRoy Stevens took a break from the 50 and 100 freestyle events to compete in the 200 free, but the outcome was the same. Stevens took the event in 1:45.22.
The women's team featured a very balanced attack. Andrea Giczewski led the way with a win in the 200 backstroke, edging out teammate Jessica Darud with a 2:14.19 to Darud's 2:15.59.
Giczewski also turned in a second-place performance in the 200-yard IM, narrowly finishing behind Alicia Perry, who swam a 2:18.86 for the win.
Jenny Gessford became the first Flame outside of Colleen Dougherty to win the 50 free on the women's side. Gessford edged out teammate Kelly Hyatt, who had a nice meet with two second place finishes in sprint free compeition, with a 24.84.
Dougherty, Vanessa Segovia, Christine Hare and Emily Biancalana chipped in event victories to key the women's outstanding day. UIC featured multiple top three finishes throughout the meet.
The UIC swimming and diving teams return to action this Friday for a road meet at Western Illinois in Macomb, Ill. The Flames return to the UIC Natatorium the next day to take on Saint Louis.

"We differ a ton. We're night and day basically," Pollard remarked, adding that she finds it offensive for someone to think that a law degree is required to run for public office.
"Claudia touts she's an attorney," Pollard said. "Anyone who has ever run for public office is doing a service to the community. The more diversity the better. And if she thinks it's so difficult to do a budget, then move over and let someone else who wants to make the hard decisions do the hard decisions."
Pollard's campaign centers on creating a fiscally conservative budget, without raising taxes.
"I think first and foremost we have to get the budget under control and other things will fall into place," Pollard said.
People, particularly Democrats, have been asking her where specifically she plans on cutting the budget to balance it, Pollard said. "And I can't tell you what exactly I would want to cut. That's not what I want to do."
Instead, she said she wants to look at the budget from a business perspective and find ways to make it more efficient.
"If you look at any entity that is successful, it always has to wrap around fiscal responsibility," Pollard said. "That's the only way something works well. I think if you have a vision of where you want to go, you work at it from the angle of Where do we want to be and how do we attain that goal.
McMullin, a Democrat who has served on the County Council for the past four years and the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission from 2003 to 2008, said she differs from Pollard because of her own experience and proven leadership.
"I'm the one who has made the tough decisions, and I'm the one with the leadership and experience to continue to do so for the next four years," McMullin said. "It's very interesting being an incumbent, making the tough decisions, the unpopular decisions, but doing the right thing, or doing what you and your colleagues, and frankly, I think, the majority of the community thinks is the right thing."
The County Council recently made the decision to raise the Municipal Services and Service Area #6 taxes, which were successfully challenged through referendums to put the measures on the ballot.
McMullin said the referendums were a result of poor communication from the council to the public about what the taxes are and why they are important.
"I think if we had done a better job of communicating from the beginning, we wouldn't be in this situation and there wouldn't be the perception that my opponent is propagating that somehow we are out of control, because I don't believe we are out of control. So it's a very important goal of mine to make sure that never happens again," she said.
McMullin said she also wants to focus on regional planning, particularly in areas not yet developed, such as the east side of U.S.-40 and lower Silver Creek Pad I, as well as areas planned but not yet built out, such as the Canyons and the Park City Tech Center.
"These are long build-outs that require flexibility and partnership. And we need to work with the landowners to make sure what we get complies with the development agreement and benefits the community as best we can," McMullin said.
Lastly, McMullin said she wants to continue to improve the county's relationship with the state Legislature.
"It's important to have a good relationship with your Legislature, but it's specifically important for Summit County and Park City to have a good relationship with the Legislature so we don't fight spot zoning by the Legislature and we don't fight bills that target Summit County and Park City, which we have been doing for quite some time now," she said.
McMullin added that the county has made great strides in their relationship with the state lawmakers but said more needs to be done.
"The council needs to make an effort to meet with all the legislators -- maybe one-on-one, maybe in a group," she said. "It's a critical relationship to first get and maintain so we don't have to fight legislation targeting Summit County."
Early voting continues through Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the County Courthouse in Coalville, the Marsac Building in Park City, the Richins Building at Kimball Junction and Kams City Hall.
The general election is on Nov. 6 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Did you head out and shop Black Friday? If you did, you were one of the millions who joined in on the hype! But experts say black Friday actually a myth!
Statistics show Black Friday is really the fifth biggest shopping day of the season. What the numbers are also showing is it's Super Saturday, that means tomorrow, when people are *really going out* and getting their shopping done. According to snopes.com the Saturday before Christmas is the busiest shopping day in terms of sales and it has been since 1995.
So what should you do if you are heading out tomorrow? First thing is have a plan, figure out where you want to go and what you're looking for. Go with a friend or a family member, they could help you. And lastly, if you are hesitant to buy something or don't want to wait in line, then put the item on hold. Usually store staff will be nice enough to hold it for you over night or at least for the day. And other than that, happy shopping!

Professor Kimberly Varnadoe
Where are you from?I am originally from the Mississippi Gulf Coast...a little town called Ocean Springs. It is a beautiful artsy town filled with galleries, boutiques and gorgeous old live oaks.
What kinds of global experiences have you had?I have had frequent experience in the Caribbean and Mexico for vacations, but have also had wonderful experiences in Italy and in Argentina with Salem students during January Term travel trips.
What are your areas of special interest within your discipline?I explore a wide variety of techniques and mediums in the visual arts field. Although my degrees are in Painting and Printmaking, I have also had a lot of Photography experience and have been working with experimental photo techniques for over ten years. I love film and working in the darkroom. I try to exhibit often and just recently had three shows in the local area.
What is your favorite course to teach?I love them all. I am probably most known among the students for teaching Color Theory (Advanced 2-D Design). I promise my students that I will "change the way they see," and they always agree that the course does indeed "change the way they see"…literally.
What kind of advice would you give to a student thinking about entering your discipline?Come with an open mind and a love for learning. Experience is a plus, but not necessary. The love for learning the discipline is what is most important.
What are the benefits for the students if they choose a major in the art department at Salem?They will receive one-on-one attention from the faculty and benefit from a group of peers that are as interested in their success as their own.
What do you see as the strengths of a women's college?I see the confidence it builds in women every day. The open atmosphere that encourages women to speak their minds and open their hearts in an honest, caring environment creates women of confidence and courage. It is a fabulous experience to watch the transition in these women.
Do you have a favorite inspirational quote?A specific quote that I love is from the character Can-o-beans in Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins. "It would seem that the brain hangs so many curtains between itself and the true universe that eventually light can no longer reach it and it molds, rots, and festers in the dark."
Tell us about a favorite book that you would recommend to students.I highly recommend the book The Art Spirit by Robert Henri. It has been a required read for my students over the past few years.
Tell us a little bit about your family or pets.A great combination. I have been married for over 25 years to another college professor. We have two great kids, a son in college now and a daughter in high school. We all love dogs and currently have three dogs and one cat that adopted us a few years ago. And a 100 gallon aquarium full of fish.
What do you do for fun when you aren't working?I often take short trips to the beach or the mountains for a day or two. North Carolina is perfect for those types of trips!
What is your favorite place at Salem?One of my favorite locations is along the stream in the May Dell. It is right outside the doors of the building in which I teach. When I need some quiet time I go and lie down in the lush grass next to the stream in the May Dell. It is a very peaceful place where I can think more clearly.
Students interested in majoring in Studio Art, Art History or Interior Design can apply for the Dr. John Preston Davis Scholarship. The Davis Art Scholarship is worth full tuition and is renewable annually with a 3.0 college GPA. Interested candidates must submit a 300 word essay on "Why I want to study Studio Art, Art History or Interior Design" and two letters of recommendation (if majoring in Studio Art or Interior Design, one of these letters should be from an art teacher). Finalists will be invited to interview at Scholarship Weekend. Studio Art and Interior Design candidates should bring a portfolio at the time of the interview.

Going Car-less Part III
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Part III of a continuing series on going car-less, telling the stories of those who have successfully made the switch. Did you miss Part I and Part II
This one comes from Joel Dice, Thanks Joel!!
The first step in traveling by bike is finding safe, pleasant routes to the places you and your family want to go, such as work, school, and the grocery store. Ideally, this should be an important consideration when choosing a place to live, but even if you're already past that point you can pick up a map (such as the one published the Denver Bicycle Touring Club) at a local bike shop and use it to plan your trips. The best route is not always the most direct one, so you may want experiment with a few alternatives.
As for the bike, I recommend a solid commuting or touring bike with mounts for full-coverage fenders and front and rear racks. Once you add racks, panniers, and a bungee cord for the rear rack, you've got a lot of carrying capacity for groceries, extra clothes, or whatever else you might want to carry. Fenders are essential if you want to show up at your destination clean. Finally, if you ever ride at night, invest in a high-quality headlight, taillight, and reflective vest and anklets. A bright headlight that lights the way is essential for confident night riding.
For winter riding, I'm a big fan of GORE RideOn cable systems; they line your brake and derailleur cables end-to-end, so they won't freeze up in the snow and ice. I also prefer big, high-volume tires in the winter, inflated to relatively low pressure for traction. Some folks like studded tires, but I find they don't add much traction except on ice, which is less common than packed snow and slush on city streets. The important thing is to plan stops and turns well in advance, and consider just walking steep downhills if you're not sure you'll be able to stop before meeting an intersection.
When dressing for very cold rides, I really like big, thick mittens, so my fingers can share body heat. I'll also wear a breathable skull cap under my helmet, a neck gaiter to pull over my face, a few breathable top and bottom layers (including a thick washcloth tucked into my pants to insulate the male parts), a windbreaker jacket, ankle gaiters, and neoprene booties over my shoes. This outfit is comfortable down to -15 degrees, which is the coldest weather I've experienced.

Their father W.E. was an only child and their mother, Gladys, was the only Durham daughter who gave birth to children, among the four sisters in her family. Their mother was a homemaker and quilted to keep the large family of children warm in the winter time. Laverne participated in her mother's quilt making activities during her youth.
"Laverne is the middle generation of the quilters still active in her family today. Like her Aunt Katie Mae Tatum and her daughter Sherry Byrd, she learned the basics of quilting at home., observing her mother and grandmother and occasionally trying her hand at stitching and piecing. But as one of the eldest children in her parent's home, she recalls being responsible for many other household tasks. Perhaps for this reason she didn't continue quilting as a young woman.
After marrying Connie Freddie Lee Brackens in the 1940's, Mrs. Brackens worked in a variety of jobs, but most consistently as a cook in private homes and public institutions. After an accident in the early 1980's, she retired from her job and was prevented from further work involving physical strain. As it turned out, quilting provided just the right creative outlet for her boundless energy. Nowadays, she spends all of her free time cutting, piecing and sewing several quilts a month."

Laverne Brackens' Bio,Exhibitions and Publications
Eli Leon
The second of four recent generations of extraordinarily talented quilt makers in a single Texas family, Laverne Brackens (1927-) helped her mother tack quilts when she was a child, but didn't get interested in making them herself until much later. Raising eight children and five grandchildren and working for four decades or so as a cook, she was always on the go and could never sit still long enough to do quilts. But after a l987 accident forced her early retirement, she found in quilt making an occupation that she could still handle.
"The whole time I was on crutches....I was piecing quilts because I could use my left foot [for the sewing machine]. Doctor won't let me do nothing else. Nothing else I can do. So I just set down and quilt."
Once into it, Brackens developed a wholehearted passion for "creating beauty from pieces of colorful material. A friend supplied her with factory scraps and she got a kick out of seeing what she could do with them. Some ideas came to her in dreams; others she worked out as she went along.
" I don't have no certain pattern in mind. I just start working my material until I get it to look like a quilt".
Outstandingly prolific, she can cut enough pieces for three tops in one day and "go back the next day and maybe do two of them." If she feels like it, she can do all three, but it may take her "till midnight". Indeed, she pieced two hundred and six quilt tops from May 1992, shortly after we first met, to May 1993, when I gave up keeping track. This must have been an especially dynamic period for her, but 15 1/2 years later, she still has not let up.
|Example of Laverne Brackens Numbers Quilt Design.
Brackens enjoys placing letters and numbers in her designs. On the occasion of a grand daughter's eighth birthday, for example, she developed a quilt pattern based on the number 8.
" I was just sitting down," she said, "and it come to me."
Since she "didn't want the figure 8 all the way around," she worked out a second pattern for alternate blocks and a third for a single border, "making these other patterns with part of the figure 8 in it" so they'd be different but "come into the figure 8 pattern."
An eloquent spokeswoman for her quilt aesthetics, Brackens emphasizes that misalignment leads to variability:
" If you piece them all where they hit right together, every quilt you piece is going look
just alike and if you twist it up a little bit, it'll make the quilt look different. I just like to
take a simple quilt and give it a different look. That's what I be trying to do."
Offsetting, measuring approximately, using scraps as found, breaking rules, and straying from the initial pattern, are, for Brackens, all parts of a larger picture in which incidental contingencies contribute to the beauty and individuality of an artist's creation. Brackens fills out the picture with mentions of off-centering the centerpiece, displaying odd selvages, rotating printed stripes, stripping vertically and horizontally in the same quilt, enlarging undersized blocks with strips of fabric, and working the pattern out as you go along, all to effect a "different look," "change it up," or "give that quilt a offset look":
|Off Set Blocks by Laverne Brackens.
" You make one block just a little bit longer than the other one, but you don't do it all the way
across the quilt. That means it's not going to hit. I wanted it not to hit but I didn't want it to do that
on every block, so that's why some blocks is a little larger than others."
Ideas may or may not come from the head; "accidentals" are the artists helpmates; open mindedness and maintenance of control are not mutually exclusive:
" You'll start with one idea and that idea's not coming together like you want it to come.
Then you just say "let's try it this way." It won't come out in your first idea, but it will come
out into an idea that you like better than the first one. If it don't do what I want it to do, then
I'm gonna make it do something I like."
Statements like this clued me into the concept of Accidentally on Purpose-the title of my most all-inclusive
cataloged exhibition.
Brackens once pieced a quilt for her father ( Willie Henry), which included the letters W, H and L, for Willie, Henry, and Laverne. Sometime, she puts whole words into quilts--"why", for example. The bottom line, however, is that she "likes letters in there--they're just pretty to me," and doesn't require that they mean anything. The letters J-A-N-T-L at the center of one of her quilts and an F on one side of another, like a lone L in the corner of a third, don't stand for anything. I expected to be informed that the L was a way of signing the quilt, but Brackens insisted that it was "just an L." Similarly, assortments of odd pieced or appliqued shapes, including occasional letters are for Brackens, just designs.
National Heritage Fellow, Arbie Williams, looking at slides of Brackens' work in 1993, was lavish in her approval: "Oh she did go wild on these," Williams exclaimed. "Bless her heart. Now hat's a real heart breaker there. She wants it different from what she's seen it, so that's the reason you see so much of them flashing with different corners. She don't want to do what the next woman is doing. so she doos it of her own. Where's she from, Texas? Oh God. I sure want to go see her when I go there."
In 1996, Brackens' work shared the spotlight with that of her mother (Gladys Henry), one of her daughters (Sherry Byrd), and one of her granddaughters (Bara Byrd) in "Four Generations of African-American Quilt makers," a show I curated at the High Museum in Atlanta. This exhibition later evolved into the 2006 show and catalogue Will the Circle Be Unbroken:Four Generation of African-American Quilt makers at the Museum of Craft and Folk Art (MOCFA) in San Francisco, along with a filmed interview with Brackens by MOCFA exhibition manager Karin Nelson, and the article "One Family's Quilted Legacy" in the October 2006 issue of Quilters Newsletter Magazine.
Other exhibits in which Brackens participated and articles about her and her family include:
a 1999 exhibition called Quilts of Color: Three Generations of Quilters in an Afro-Texan Family at the Texas Folk life Resources Gallery in Austin, Texas and the Kirkland Center in Clinton, New York;

The Texas Memorial Museum owns two of Laverne's quilts;
Chicago's Bessie Coleman Library's five featured artworks include quilts by Laverne Brackens and Arbie Williams.
Additional cataloged exhibitions of mine that included works by Brackens are
"Showing Up": Maximum-Contrast African-American Quilts at the Richmond Art center in Richmond,CA,1996;
Something Else to See: Improvisational bordering Styles in African-American at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, 1997;
No Two Alike:African-American Improvisations on a Traditional Patchwork Pattern, at the South Carolina state Museum in Columbia, 1998;
Let It Shine: Improvisation in African-American Star Quilts at the William D. Cannon Art Gallery in San Diego, 2001;

and Accidentally on Purpose: The Aesthetic Management of Irregularities in African Textiles and African-American Quilts at the Figge Museum in Davenport Iowa, 2006.
Good Books also published one of her quilts in their 2002 African American Quilts wall calendar.
Typically, Brackens' works outnumber those of most of the other quilters in her group exhibitions. Over 70 outstanding quilt makers, for example, were responsible for the more than 100 illustrations that were selected from a pool of thousands of improvisational African-American quilts for my Accidentally on Purpose catalogue. They would, therefore, average little more than one work per artist. Indeed, only four of the 70 had more than three of their works in the show. Brackens, however, had five. Those besides Brackens with more than three were National Heritage Fellow Arbie Williams, virtuoso Rosie Lee Tompkins, and Brackens' mother, Gladys Henry. And quilts, furthermore, are not Brackens' only exceptional contributions to the world of African-American improvisation. In addition to her works of art, my writings draw heavily on her arrestingly expressive verbalizaions, some of which I've quoted in this bio and can be found in Eli Leon Interviews with African-American Quilt makers archived by the International Quilt Study Center at the University of Nebraska.
These quotations by Brackens are all over the Internet. (To locate the web sites referred to below, google "Laverne Brackens") The Alliance for California Traditional Arts Calendar,The Tribe, and the Oakland tribune, for example, all repeat the quote: " I don't go by patterns. I make it up out of my head. When you pick up the material and start working with it, that's when you know what [the quilt] will be." Kate Brown in WordPress.com's Thoughts Not Mine: The Monkey wrench Emporium, quotes: "If you piece them all where they hit right together, every quilt you piece is going to look just alike, and if you twist it up a little bit you will make the quilt look different. I just like to take a simple quilt and give it a different look."
Caireen Todd, in The Patchwork Dress: Unbroken Circle, reports: "[Brackens] can cut out the pieces for three quilt tops in a day and 'go back the next day and maybe do two of them'."
Most of these quotes come from show catalogs that include passages from many other quilt makers, but Brackens' are frequently among the ones chosen. In this domain, she can be equaled by none other than Arbie Williams.
Bara Byrd, Laverne's quilt making grand daughter, pieced seven tops at the age of twelve,sold six of them, and sent the seventh to her grandmother. brackens was "tickled to death". " I sleep under that quilt," she reported. "Only time that quilt's off of my bed is when I wash it and put it up in the Spring. I just love it." She got teary-eyed talking about it: "Cause it's my granddaughter that made it. Usually, the rest of them is always saying, 'Granny, can I have a quilt?"

Dragon liver is sixteen Sickles an ounce.[1]
Behind the scenes
- The price in the old version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was claimed to be seventeen Sickles, but this was changed because seventeen Sickles is equal to one Galleon, so it would be like saying "One hundred pence or one hundred cents."[2]
- In Pottermore, dragon liver instead costs 3 Galleons. However, it is possible that the jar you buy contains more than a single ounce of liver.

Chris Bates Video Season Preview
There was a time when playing lacrosse on Feb. 22 wasn't done. Now, it's a fairly late state date, as basically all of Division I has at least one game under its belt prior to this weekend, when the seven Ivy League schools will face-off for the first time in 2014.
For Princeton, opening day means a date with Hofstra, just as it has every other year since Chris Bates became the Tigers head coach.
Hofstra will be playing its second game after opening last Saturday with an 11-9 loss to Marquette.
* * *
Chris Bates is 3-1 against Hofstra in his first four years, including a 10-7 win on Long Island last year.
Princeton has averaged 15.5 goals per game in the two games against the Pride played in Princeton and 9.5 goals per game in the two games on Long Island.
Princeton and Hofstra meet for the 28th time overall. Princeton leads the overall series 14-13.
* * *
Lacrosse is a spring sport, correct?
Princeton (six) and Hofstra (seven) will combine to play 13 games before winter ends and it officially becomes spring.
* * *
Princeton lacrosse games averaged 18.57 combined goals in 2010, Chris Bates' first as head coach. That figure dipped to 14.77 in 2011 and then went back to 18.44 in 2012.
Then, last year, that number skyrocket, with nearly four more goals per game, at 22.14. That was the highest number for Princeton since 1996, when there were 23.04 goals per game.
* * *
Part of the reason for the jump in goals per game last year can be attributed to the new rules, which were designed to speed up the pace of the game.
Princeton also had its best offense (12.03) since 1998, as well as a defense that featured several players who were playing out of position.
This year, Princeton returns the three defensemen who started all 15 games a year ago, but only one will be a starter on defense this time around. That one is Mark Strabo, who started every game as a freshman.
The other two will be moving back to their natural positions, the ones they played in 2012. Nick Fernandez will be a shortstick defensive midfielder again, and Derick Raabe returns to longstick midfield.
* * *
Princeton figures to start two freshmen on defense with Will Reynolds (Delbarton) and Bear Goldstein (St. Mark's in Texas).
Reynolds was the seventh-ranked incoming recruit by Inside Lacrosse; Goldstein was 97th.
In all, Princeton had recruits in the IL top 100: Zach Currier (No. 5), Gavin McBride (84), Adam Hardej (91).
* * *
If Will Reynolds and Bear Goldstein both start on defense against Hofstra, it will be the first time since 1996 that Princeton has started two freshmen on defense in the season opener.
Back then, the two were Kurt Lunkenheimer and John Harrington.
* * *
Princeton has three new assistant coaches this year after last year's assistants moved on, including Greg Raymond, who became the head coach at Hobart.
This year, Army grad John Walker came to Princeton after being the defensive coordinator at Virginia. Matt Madalon comes from Division III power Stevens (whom Princeton scrimmaged last weekend), and Brad Conlon was at Division II Pfeiffer a year ago.
* * *
Hofstra dropped its opener 11-9 last Saturday to Marquette, a team coached by former Hofstra assistant Joe Amplo and with former Princeton assistant coach Stephen Brundage.
Hofstra, whose associate head coach Kevin Unterstein is a former Princeton assistant, was led against Marqutte by Sam Linares, who had two goals and an assist, and Lance Yapor and Mike Malave, who had two goals each.
Hofstra goalie Chris Selva, a second-team All-CAA selection last year, made seven saves; Selva had an assist against Princeton last year after he ran the across midfield and near the box and then made a perfect feed on the crease.
* * *
Mike MacDonald has six goals on nine shots in two career games against Hofstra. Tom Schreiber has seven goals and five assists in three games against Hofstra.
* * *
Tom Schreiber was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 Major League Lacrosse draft, chosen by the Ohio Machine. Nick Fernandez was chosen in the sixth round by the Denver Outlaws, with the 46th pick.
* * *
Princeton's starting midfield of Jake Froccaro, Kip Orban and Tom Schreiber was ranked as the top midfield in Division I by Inside lacrosse.
* * *
Tom Schreiber has 120 points in his last two seasons combined, split exactly evenly with 60 goals and 60 assists.
Schreiber is already Princeton's career leader for points by a midfielder with 149 (76G, 73A). He is also one of five players in program history with at least 70 career goals and 70 career assists.
Of those five - Schreiber, Kevin Lowe, Ryan Boyle, Jon Hess, Dave Heubeck - only two have at least 80 goals and 80 assists and nobody has at least 90 of each. Hess had 82 goals and 133 assists; Heubeck had 83 goals and 99 assists.
Schreiber had 32 goals and 28 assists as a junior and 28 goals and 32 assists as a sophomore. Only Dave Tickner has ever had a 30/30 season in program history, with 34 goals and 32 assists in the 1976 season.
* * *
Tom Schreiber had at least three points in all 15 games last year and has a streak of 16 straight games with at least three points, dating to his two-goal, two-assist effort against Virginia in the 2012 NCAA tournament loss. He also has at least one point in 32 straight games, which is the longest current streak in Division I by a midfielder and the fifth-longest overall.
Kip Orban had at least one point in every game last year. Orban has the longest current goal-scoring streak for Princeton, with at least one in 13 straight games. Mike MacDonald also had at least one point in all 15 games last year and at least one goal in the last 10 games.
* * *
Tucker Shanley missed all but two minutes of last year with injuries. His two minutes came in the opener against Hofstra.
Forest Sonnenfeldt missed all of 2013 to injury, but he had at least one point in the last 12 games of 2012.
Both players are back for 2013. Shanley scored 20 goals and had eight assists in 2012, while Sonnenfeldt had 17 goals and six assists in 2012. For their careers, they've combined for 68 goals, and they will bring serious depth to the midfield. Sonnenfeldt has also been a key member of the extra-man unit.

ZF-6608: Problem if /tmp Dir not readable
My Serverprovider hasn't set the Variables used in Zend_Cache_Backend->getTmpDir() so the returned value is '/tmp'. This directory isn't writeable an so i get Errors -- i don't even use Zend_Cache, just wanted to use Zend_Date.
As a quickfix i added $_ENV['TMPDIR'] = session_save_path() but i think this should be fixed in Zend_Cache_Backend. Probably it could be tested if /tmp is writeable and if not use session_save_path? I don't know...
I have the same issue: http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-6668 Hadn't seen this issue yet although I did do a few searches.
just commited something better into SVN trunk
can you try it ?
(you have only to take the Backend.php file from SVN trunk)
Seems to work for me! But i have to mention, that there is another problem with session (Zend_Application_Resource_Session) since 1.8.1 so i don't know if it works in my normal usage -- currently i have a workaround for session management.
why you do not only use the php function "sys_get_temp_dir" and why you check if it exists ? The function is available since php 5.2.1 and zend framework version is 5.2.4 -> http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
And if the systems temp dir is not writable this is a wrong configured (or crashed) system
The method I referred to in the second issue does use this method additionally. BUT: You can not only refer to this method alone as it is possible that this method does not return correct informations. This is due OS dependency. Therefor additional checks are also provided which make sure that the path can be detected even if sys_* does not work properly.
Are you sure? I could not find where the problem occurs ? And why it have to check first if the function exists ?
Zend_Cache works as a standalone component with php < 5.2 thanks to this additional test
merged into 1.8 branch
As I mentioned in ZF-6668 the getTmpDir() method fails when it decides to use the directory from the tmpname() test. The directory taken from it should be checked with _isGoodTmpDir().
just added this additionnel test into 1.8 branch and trunk (thanks)


text: Everlast then returned to his solo career. While recording Whitey Ford Sings the Blues, however, he suffered a massive cardiac arrest stemming from a congenital defect, resulting in heart bypass surgery and an artificial valve implant. Following his recovery, he completed the album, which appeared in the fall of 1998 to strong commercial notices. It entered the Top Ten, went platinum, and launched the pervasive Top 40 single "What It's Like." After appearing on Santana's vaunted comeback album Supernatural, Everlast began work on a follow-up album with an eclectic group of guest artists. Titled Eat at Whitey's, the album was released in late 2000, and enjoyed critical notice (even if it wasn't quite as successful as Whitey Ford). Everlast then signed with Island/Def Jam before releasing the the moody, song-driven White Trash Beautiful in 2004. The album featured a strong country influence, but its new sound failed to boost Everlast's record sales. He was dropped from the label soon after, but Everlast bounced back by joining his House of Pain alums in a hip-hop supergroup named La Coka Nostra. The group released several recordings via MySpace in 2008; that same year, Everlast issued his fifth studio album, Love, War and The Ghost of Whitey Ford, on his own label. The album featured a cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues," which Everlast released as a single. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

TUCSON, Ariz. – The University of Arizona Department of Intercollegiate Athletics today announced details of several major gifts which significantly advance progress toward funding renovations to the McKale Memorial Center. Arizona Athletics, in coordination with the University of Arizona Foundation, is working to raise $30 million for the first phase of an overall $80 million McKale renovation project. Last month, Arizona Athletics announced that it had raised $12.6 million towards the project which included the $6 million lead gift from Cole and Jeannie Davis.
In the weeks since that exciting announcement, several gifts have been secured including an $8 million matching gift challenge from an anonymous donor. At this time, $1.6 million has been raised toward this $8 million dollar matching opportunity, bringing the current total gifts raised to $15.8 million. If all $8 million is raised towards this match, total fundraising will reach $28.6 million.
"We're extremely fortunate to receive an $8 million matching gift. It's an incredible opportunity that we can potentially double our aggressive fundraising efforts to $16 million essentially overnight if we can meet the goal of the challenge," Vice President for Athletics Greg Byrne said.
Along with the gift from the Davises, the project has received many other significant contributions, including a $2.5 million anonymous donation. The Donald Diamond family pledged $1 million, while George Rountree committed $800,000. Additionally, two $500,000 gifts have been contributed by separate anonymous donors.
Diamond, a Wildcat Club member since its inception and a 50-year season-ticket holder, is chairman of Diamond Ventures, Inc. His business interests include a variety of real estate investments and development projects. The Diamond family is known for its generosity to nonprofits, including a $15 million gift for a new children's medical center (part of the University of Arizona Medical Center) that will be a national player in children's research and medical technology. For more than four decades, the Diamond Family has played major roles in supporting financially and through service, business, health, education and other charitable organizations in Tucson.
Rountree, a supporter of Arizona Athletics for 28 years, is the senior partner in the law firm of Rountree, Losee & Baldwin in Wilmington, North Carolina. He is a 1960 graduate of University of Arizona College of Law and he graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree from the UA. While attending the UA, Rountree played basketball from 1952-55 and he coached the freshman team for Fred Enke from 1958-60 while attending law school.
"I am very happy to see the results of the tremendous fundraising efforts of the athletics department and am grateful to all of the University's supporters," UA President Ann Weaver Hart said. "Athletics plays a vital role in the visibility of our campus and is a major part of the UA's contributions to the life of our community, and I want to thank the donors who have come forward to support this project. McKale Center is an iconic building because it is a special meeting place for students, faculty, staff, alumni and fans, and the success of this project will have a great impact on our entire community."
The $30 million goal for the initial phase of the project is expected to be met by April 1, 2014. Pending Arizona Board of Regents approval, Phase I renovations should start in May 2014.The renovation project will positively impact all 20 of UA's sports programs and specifically the men's and women's basketball, volleyball and gymnastics programs that utilize McKale as their competition site.
Improvements to the facility will include upgraded seating, hand rails, enhanced lighting and a new playing floor. In addition, conceptual designs have been generated to address amenities and upgrades that are likely to include men's and women's locker rooms, concessions and restrooms.
"It is important to remember that people can support all of our programs and facilities, not just this McKale renovation" Byrne said. "For example, if you have a passion for football, we still have naming opportunities in facilities such as the Lowell-Stevens Football Facility. People can make an impact in so many ways and we appreciate every contribution and what it allows us to do for each of our programs and student-athletes."
Arizona Athletics is funded primarily through self-generated revenues and is an integral part of The University of Arizona. The majority of these revenues come from charitable gifts, ticket sales, corporate sponsorships and television revenues.Charitable gifts come from a collective group of donors that comprise the Wildcat Club. This financial support provides scholarships, state-of-the-art facilities, equipment, team travel and all the other tools that help student-athletes succeed on and off the playing surface. Anyone can join the Wildcat Club with a donation of $100 or more, which is tax deductible.

Just curious, my friends and I were talking about the SEZ and wondering who could finance it. I was curious as to who are some of the more well off ISU alums and what do they do.
The ex CEO of Lockheed is an ISU alum.
Students who only pay tuition, amirite?
Bill Gates
Realistically...1. Denny Albaugh.....2. Anyone one of us if we could freaking win the lottery.
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'
You know, the poster who mentioned tuition.....got me thinking...some of you students should get on GSB. Similar to things like Lied Rec, the Health Center, etc, student fees have been used to pay for capitol projects.
Now, as JP said on KXNO, the SEZ would have to be more than just seats...if it were seen as a true entry to campus, I think GSB could used to support it. There could be a welcome center in there used for non-game days, etc.
Think about it. $5 a semester, per student, for say 15 years really would add up. :)

2. Everyone else combined
Easy answer:
Backer and/or Underwood. Underwood is an ISU alum.

May perpetual light shine upon him.
Becker & Underwood sold to a private equity firm almost 10 years before the BASF deal. I would guess B & U still had stock, but I am sure it wasn't a $1 billion deal for them personally.
Also, many people don't realize that the publicized $1 billion acquisition of Albaugh's company didn't go through a few years ago. I would think he is doing quite well financially, but cutting a multi-million dollar check to the ISU athletic department might not be something he is interested in doing.
Christina Hixson. That wonderful lady (my benefactor for my undergrad scholarship) owns a nice slice of the Las Vegas strip. She's also contributed in the past to the UNLV athletics dept., along with various donations to ISU.

ZF-12524: Zend_Mail imap getContent does not work on SmarterMail servers
Which version do you use? In the current version 1.12.1 the line 565 includes only a comment. Please update your ZF copy, test again and give us a feedback. Thanks.
I'm using 2.1.1 What do you mean 1.12.1 is current? o_O
I used 1.12.1, I got the same errors, just on different lines. It still works on mail servers that aren't SmarterMail
A PHP Error was encountered Severity: Notice Message: Undefined offset: 0 Filename: Protocol/Imap.php Line Number: 598
A PHP Error was encountered Severity: Notice Message: Undefined variable: data Filename: Protocol/Imap.php Line Number: 623
$tokens[2] is set to an empty array.
Can you debug these lines with errors?
What is the content of {{$tokens}}?
Here's var_dumps for each iteration of tokens (looks like it dumped tokens twice). First group is on the working server, then dumps for SmarterMail server. https://gist.github.com/10836ba166f4054c81bb
At the very bottom you see $tokens[2] = empty array, which is I guess unexpected.
Can I do anything else to help?
This issue has been closed on Jira and moved to GitHub for issue tracking. To continue following the resolution of this issues, please visit: https://github.com/zendframework/zf1/issues/55

Full SubmissionContribution to Outcome Document of the Rio+20 Conference agreed on by the signing Austrian NGOs
Despite some progress made since the UN Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, human- induced loss of biodiversity, global climate change, desertification, deforestation, acidification of the oceans, overuse of resources, unequal access to resources and many other problems continue. The recent economic crisis and the upcoming shortage of natural resources increase the threat of poverty and human rights abuse especially to the poorest and most vulnerable segments of the world?s population - mainly in the global south.
The current economic model promotes unsustainable consumption and production patterns, facilitates an inequitable trading system, has failed to eradicate poverty, assists exploitation of natural resources towards the verge of extinction, and has induced multiple crises on Earth. The urgency to change the roots of our economic model has to be stressed. As civil society we promote fair and equitable sustainable development for all with respect for the limits of our common ecological and social capital.
Emerging countries are in the process of copying the unsustainable development model of industrialised countries and industrialised countries try to secure their already declining economic and political positions. Thereby unsustainable practices are perpetuated while developing countries are relegated to being suppliers of raw materials and confronted with endemic poverty and the effects of climate change.
The current Growth-led development paradigm has proven to be unsustainable. It does not need reform but replacement. A true ?green? economy within a sustainable society requires policies that include efficiency and sufficiency and equity. So far there is little sign that the technology and efficiency approach still including the Growth-paradigm alone can lead to more equal access to resources and to the reductions in the use and waste of both renewable and non-renewable resources on the scale that is needed to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, detoxifying our environment and enable us to live within global limits.
Despite agreements at Rio 1992 and Johannesburg 2002 there has been a clear failure to integrate environmental, social and development priorities into economic policies. Social engagement and other elements of ?well-being? that are at the core of sustainable human development are still not taken into account when making economic policy. We have to shift from economic Growth and increasing consumption to enhancing well-being and equal opportunities for all, within the limits set by nature.
We urge the governments to:
Establish national roadmaps for a radical transformation towards a zero carbon economy by 2050 that is fully respectful of planetary limitations and the human rights for current and future generations, based on the fair share of natural resources and CO2 emissions. The necessary changes must be proportionate to a country?s contribution to the current problems and its capability to take action.
Establish on a global scale a set of Millennium Consumption Goals (MCGs) for the period 2012-2031 towards establishing an intergenerational right to equitable consumption opportunities. Over-consumption needs to be capped and gradually lowered in order to give the necessary environmental space for under-consumers to meet their basic needs.
Rethink the financing of social security systems currently based on continuous economic Growth, which perpetuate the crisis, and with this rethinking start to move towards an economic model that is grounded in sustainable development principles.
