PRINCETON RECRUITING AREAS — Michigan; Ohio; Pennsylvania
Jared Backus, who has 18 seasons of collegiate coaching experience, is in his third season as the Princeton defensive coordinator. He came to Princeton after three years as a defensive assistant coach at Temple University, where he helped rebuild the struggling program into a bowl-eligible football team.
"Jared is a terrific football coach with an excellent background as a I-AA coordinator and most recently as the linebackers coach at Temple," said Surace, who coached Backus when he was an undergraduate at Springfield College. "I've known Jared since he was a player. I value the intensity, toughness and leadership he brings to the position. His track record of success as a position coach and coordinator will be great assets to our program."
While coordinating the Princeton defense, Backus also works with the Princeton linebackers. In his first two seasons, Backus has placed four of his linebackers on the All-Ivy League team. Andrew Starks, who has earned All-Ivy honors each of the last two seasons, has ranked fourth in the Ivy League in tackles in both 2010 and 2011. Starks will serve as the Princeton co-captain this season.
The Tigers also saw several defensive improvements during the 2011 season; the most impressive one came in rushing defense, where Princeton moved from seventh in 2010 to third in 2011.
After coaching the defensive line for his first two seasons at Temple, Backus took over the linebacking corps during the fall of 2009. His only season as linebackers coach was one of the most memorable in the history of Temple athletics. The Owls won nine straight games and earned a berth in The EagleBank Bowl, Temple's first since the now-defunct Garden State Bowl in 1979. Heading into the bowl game, Temple ranked in the Top 20 nationally in run defense and had a trio of All-MAC linebackers in Alex Joseph, Amara Kamara and Peanut Joseph. In five of its nine wins, Temple held its opponent to below 20 points.
"It is a great opportunity for me and my family to come to Princeton and join the incredible football tradition here," Backus said. "I have known Bob Surace for a long time and am excited to be a part of his staff."
In 2008, the Owl defense helped Temple to the team's most wins most since 1990 and a second-place finish in the MAC East. Facing five opponents that went on to postseason play, the Owls persevered to new heights, led by All-MAC honorees DT Terrance Knighton, Temple's first first-team selection, and DT Andre Neblett. Knighton was the 72nd overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft and currently starts for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
During its inaugural season of Mid-American Conference play in 2007, the Temple defense also thrived. Temple led the MAC in five defensive statistical categories, including red zone defense; that statistic also ranked first nationally. Backus saw Neblett earn All-MAC honors as a sophomore in 2007.
Prior to joining the Owls, Backus spent five seasons at Bucknell, first coaching outside linebackers/special teams (2002) and defensive line/special teams (2003-04), before being promoted to defensive coordinator and linebackers coach (2005-06). In 2006, he was instrumental in the biggest turnaround in Division I-AA, as the Bison improved to 6-5 after posting a 1-10 record in 2005. He also helped develop multiple all-conference players at Bucknell, including defensive lineman Sean Conover, who spent three seasons with the Tennessee Titans and now plays with the Detroit Lions.
During his tenure in Lewisburg, Pa., Backus recruited in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Texas, Maryland, Delaware, Canada and Pennsylvania.
Prior to Bucknell, Backus was the defensive line coach and special teams coordinator at Maine from 1999 to 2001, helping the team to an Atlantic Ten title and a No. 8 final ranking in 2001. He also directed two Black Bears to All-America honors, with return man Lynard Byrd earning accolades in 2001 and defensive end Jo-Jo Oliphant capturing the honor in 1999.
The Saugatuck, Conn., native began his collegiate coaching career at King's College (strength and conditioning intern, 1994), before moving on to Springfield College (graduate assistant, 1995), Rutgers (graduate assistant, 1996-97), and Pace (secondary/kickoff coverage, 1998). Rutgers linebacker Brian Sheridan earned All-Big East honors with Backus' assistance in 1997.
Backus was a two-year varsity letterwinner and one-year starter at linebacker at Springfield, earning a degree in physical education in 1993. He received a master of physical education degree from Springfield in 1998.
He and wife Amanda have a six-year-old son, Garrett, and a three-year-old daughter, Grace.

The month of November is dedicated in a particular way to praying for the dead. This includes children who died before birth. These children did not have the opportunity to be baptized; the Church teaches, however, that we can hope for their salvation, and that we can entrust them with confidence to the mercy of God. The Lord loves these children even more than we do, and provides in mysterious ways for them to take hold of the eternal life we have in Christ. Praying for these children is an important way in which we recognize them as real persons, and in which we make reparation for the brutal way in which some of them were treated by abortion. If you want Masses offered for unborn children, simply send me their names at www.priestsforlife.org
Must-have pro-life book: Ending Abortion; Not Just Fighting It is a collection of lifesaving and informative pro-life essays from Fr. Pavone. Click here to order your copy today.

La Monnaie ¦ Chamber music ¦ Divine Mysteries ¦ Intro
Divine Mysteries
Daan Vandewalle
About 20 miles west of Boston, the town of Concord, Massachusetts, had its day of glory in the mid-19th century when it became home to a handful of literary free-thinkers known as the Transcendentalists, who extolled the soul, the powers of intuition and the divinity of nature. A few decades later, the composer Charles Ives, himself from New England, dedicated his second piano sonata to the place and its illustrious occupants: Emerson, Thoreau, Amos Bronson Walcott and his daughter Louisa May, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, each of whom is the subject of a separate movement. Anticipating many 20th-century musical innovations, the Concord Sonata is a vast, sweeping piece that quotes Beethoven, Wagner as well as folk and church tunes, occasionally soaring into wild rhapsodic flights written without bar lines. Few pianists have the agility and breadth of vision to bring this formidable work alive, but one happens to be Daan Vandewalle, a Flemish specialist of contemporary American music who recorded it in 1996. Hear him at work and listen out for what Ives described as "the Soul of humanity knocking at the door of the Divine mysteries."

How are roommate assignments made?
On the New Student Housing Application, students are asked to indicate their personal interests, living habits, and expectations that would be helpful in selecting a roommate. These responses are used to assist in assigning roommates. The Associate Director of Residence Life assigns roommates, and when all assignments are complete, each student receives a letter with the name and address of his or her roommate. Requests for roommates will be honored whenever possible and must be reciprocal. In other words, students wishing to room together must both indicate the same preference on their New Student Housing Application which is available online at http://myhousing.mountunion.edu.
Notification of roommate assignments are mailed around August 1.
How are roommate changes made?
If there is a conflict between roommates, they are encouraged to work out the problem between themselves. If needed, a Community Educator (CE) is available to facilitate discussion. There is a two-week freeze on housing assignments at the beginning of each semester. After the second week of the semester, students may contact their Resident Director (RD) to request a change of rooms. All students involved in the room change must be in agreement with the change.
Do the halls have 24-hour visitation policies?
Yes. Students may (with the mutual consent of their roommate) entertain guests of the opposite gender in their rooms Sunday through Thursday from 11 am to 11 pm and will have extended visitation hours on the weekends, with 24 hour visitation starting at 11 am Friday until 11 pm Sunday. Students must also escort their guests at all times.
How long may a guest stay in my room?
Students may entertain guests in their room for no longer than three consecutive nights.
How many people live on campus?
Over 1,300 students live on the campus of Mount Union in eleven residence halls and as many as nineteen houses making it a largely residential university.
What happens if I want to have my own room?
Singles are not available to incoming students. A student living alone in a standard double room may be offered the opportunity to buy out that room as a "super single." If that opportunity is either not made available (due to space constraints) or that student does not want to pay the additional price for a single room, they may either be moved into a double room with another student who does not want to pay the additional cost, or may have another student moved in with her/him.
Do I have to use a special number to dial out when calling someone?
If you are calling someone on campus, you simply need to enter the last four digits of their phone number. All on-campus local and toll free calls are free. To dial long distance, students must use a calling card. To dial outside of the University, for a local or long distance calls, you must first dial 9.
Do I get a phone in my room?
No, while telephones are not provided , we strongly encourage students to bring a land-line phone for their rooms as their room telephone number is the only local number published through the online student directory for faculty, students, and staff. Due to the implementation of our wireless infrastructure the use of 2.4GHz cordless phones is prohibited. We strongly recommend 5.8GHz or 900MHz phones as an alternative. All on-campus local and toll free calls are free.
Is there a voicemail option available?
Yes. All residential rooms A person can check their voicemail from on campus or off campus by way of their personal identification code. If students do not want voicemail, they can still use an answering machine. Voicemail automatically picks up after the fourth ring, so if using an answering machine, just set the answering machine to pick up before the fourth ring. However, keep in mind that voicemail will automatically pick up if someone is talking on the phone as another phone call comes in.
How should I have my mail addressed?
All students have a campus mailbox and mail should be addressed as follows:
Mount Union Box ####
1972 Clark Ave
Alliance, OH 44601
Can I bring a pet to school?
For safety and health reasons, the only pets allowed in residence halls are fish. No other pets are permissible.

Lu turns the big 2-9 this year. Leave him a birthday comment below and don't forget Lasers March 8th!
Haqppy birthday Lupe. I hope you enjoy it to the MAX cause u r the best musician of ALL TIME! Dont ANYONE tell you different! FNF UP!
Happy Birthday Lupe you are my favorite artist and i just love how you represent and you are fearless. Enjoy your birthday to the max because you hella deserve it. hopefully ill get to meet you one day and make a movie bout how you see the world, where we can exchange ideas and everything. You have inspired me in so many ways and im greatful. so all im trying to say is Enjoy TODAY and the rest of your life too. xoxo, -Nonzee
Happy Birthday Lu. Life is life an endless fall. Right when you think your gonna hit the ground, The world flips on you and you keep falling. Keep doing YOU no matter how many times the world flips on you. From an inspired fan. FNF.
Happy day of birth Lupe, hope you and yours are truly happy, if anyone deserves it it's you. Just wanted to thank you for never giving up on yourself or your moral integrity.I must say looking back man it just feels so great knowing that I fought for this album to come out and was around for the creation of the now infamous petition, I respect you down to the very last atom because of your genuinity and fearlessness when it comes to the issues you touch on in your songs, you're the example that the world should be following, instead they try and sweep you under the rug. My parents hate me and have destroyed my world because I chose to study fashion, they laugh in my face, call me gay and tell me I'll never make it, they pushed me to the point of dropping out of college this past year, All my friends have basically turned on me, I lost somebody that I truly loved (one of the first times I've ever felt love or compassion for anybody other than myself) in the last 8 months. through all these trials though, I've never let go of who I am or my dreams and aspirations and you were and still are one of my biggest inspirations for this life. I don't want to give up on my dreams and seeing you on the right path only reassures me that eventually I'll make it out too and I just want to thank you for being such a good example. That's why after people spammed Atlantic Records and it didn't work, I tweeted you and told you several days before hand that a much bigger movement was in the works and low and behold 32 K+ signatures later and a half a year here we are, just a few more weeks away from LASERS! here are a few lines I wrote out a while ago (no, I'm not a rapper) which was inspired in part by you; My principles straight up wont be bartered over/ for real Id rather be tied up the cross and martyred/ you don't know but you speakin to the author/ forget the name William, simply address me as your father Happy Birthday Wasalu "warrior" Muhammad Jaco
Happy Birthday Lu from your fellow FNF Army member. Live long and Stay strong. Im rocking your album once it comes out, and i will continue to be the strong follower I am. Stay up man.
Happy Birthday Lupe, your music has changed my life. You are the most insightful, intelligent, and thought-provoking artist in the game. Not to mention your rhymes blow my mind away. Keep up the great work, you are appreciated more than you know!!!
The best birthday present will be March 8th, when LASERS smashes the charts and Hip-Hop is re-born. Happy Birthday Lupe.
Happy Birthday LUPE!!!!! You are by far the BEST rapper... and your words are very influencial... THANK YOU for you music!!
Happy Birthday Lupe!!! You are one of the few artists still spittin the truth and you are just giving us all great song after great song

A 31-year-old Millsboro man died Tuesday after being ejected from his SUV in a single-vehicle crash near Selbyville.
Jose Luis Rojas Jr. was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on Lynch Road, just south of Bald Branch Road, west of Selbyville, according to state police.
The crash occurred as Rojas was driving south on Lynch Road and lost control of his 2000 Ford Excursion while attempting to negotiate a moderate curve about 8:30 p.m., police said.
The Ford briefly left the roadway before spinning clockwise and leaving the roadway a second time, when it rolled over and ejected Rojas, who was not wearing a seatbelt, police said.
The vehicle eventually came to a stop on its roof.
Lynch Road, south of Bald Branch Road, was closed for about three hours while police investigated the crash and cleared the scene.
An investigation into the crash is ongoing, police said.

When I was in my twenties, I had an affair with a married man. The two-year romance is minutely chronicled in a black pasteboard sketchbook that I can't bring myself to read and can't bring myself to toss. It's been over for 28 years, but it's not over.
Stephen* and I worked for the same publishing company, he as a book editor in San Francisco, I as a magazine writer in New York. We met when he came east for meetings and stopped by to visit my officemate, an old friend of his from college.
Stephen was smart, cute and witty and laughed at all my jokes. He had a wry smile, blonde hair and a wife. I was already practicing how I'd billboard the story to my best friend: Oh, Arlene. I met this guy. He's absolutely perfect—except for this one tiny little thing.
Our first conversation all but outlasted the workday. We were in a bubble, the two of us. Colleagues who tried to jump in soon gave up and went back to their desks and deadlines. I'm a good talker in any case, but something was taking my game up a notch—the way a pretty girl makes an infinitesimal adjustment to her hair or eye makeup and is suddenly beautiful. I was captivating, and he was captivated. The only time Stephen folded in on himself was when I asked about his children, then three and five. "They are called Richard and Tim," he said distantly.
A few days and several long talks later, he flew home to his family. Meanwhile, I adjusted to my new, stirred-up life and, not entirely coincidentally, ended things with someone I'd recently taken up with mostly to be able to utter the phrase my boyfriend when I found it convenient.
Immediately, Stephen and I became pen pals. In those days before e‑mail, we used the company's overnight pouch to jet our letters cross--country. And Monday through Friday, for hours at a time, all through that winter and spring, we poured ourselves—our funniest, smartest, best selves—into the telephone. We had read the same books and listened to the same rec-ords; when we hadn't, we raced out and bought them. We had the same reference points, laughed at the same things, disdained the same people.
We talked about everything, really, except his domestic situation and what was happening between us (which is to say, we avoided all topics of consequence).
As to being in love, well, he said it first, on the phone—punctuating the declaration with a rueful laugh, the way you do when words pop out -unbidden—on a spring night six weeks after we met. I said it back to him. There was another month of increasingly ardent calls before we saw each other again, this time—our first time—in a Chicago hotel room.
By then, we were both in deep; I, for one, was well beyond the reach of dignity or shame or discretion. When a colleague—one of my many, many office confidantes—had business in San Francisco, I begged her to wangle an invitation to Stephen's house so she could check out his wife. She did, issuing a collect-call on-site report from a phone dragged into a closet.
On vacation with his family, Stephen left a message on my answering machine detailing the beauty of the sunset, expressing misery that I wasn't there with him to share it and ending the call with an anguished "What are we going to do?"
What were we going to do? That was easy. That was so easy. Leave her. You say you're in love with me. That you've never felt like this, that I've changed the way you see the world, the way you see yourself.
By my cockeyed compass, things seemed to be moving in the right direction when, during one of our trysts in the Bay Area, Stephen, perhaps trying to assess my fitness as a stepmother, brought his children to my hotel to meet me. "You're a stupid-head," five-year-old Tim cheerfully announced by way of greeting (kid, you have no idea). Soon after, Stephen told his wife about me, told her it wasn't about the sex, not just about the sex, that I was his soul mate—a disclosure, as he wrote in a letter I still have, "that went down like a ham sandwich at a Seder."
Of course, like all those similarly ensorcelled, I thought for sure I'd be the exception—because I was so exceptional. And because the sex was so off the charts. There I made the mistake so common among the unmarried: wildly overestimating the importance and frequency of married sex, wildly underestimating the durability of shared history and family ties.
Friends who had been down this road before me served as the backup singers—latter-day Shangri-Las, Ronettes, -Shir-elles—to my affair. Every day I'd tell them that my situation was different, that Stephen really loved me, that he was going to leave his wife, that they just didn't understand. And in response, my friends would shake their heads, wave their arms and chorus, "Yeah, yeah."
Three months after Stephen came clean to his wife, we made the first of our numerous feeble attempts to definitely, absolutely, this-time-I-really-mean-it end things. This went on for a year and a half. We'd vow not to call each other for a set period: one week, two weeks, three weeks. Invariably one of us picked up the phone.
Finally, he said he needed a month to think. No contact whatsoever, OK?
"I've got to try to keep my family together," he said in a maddeningly noble (he thought), self-pitying (I thought) declaration 30 days later. I should have known—everyone had warned me—but there I was on the other end of the line, as baffled as a child denied a long-promised treat. I can still hear my voice, thin and quavering and uncomprehending: "But you said you were in love with me." I got a letter from him a few days later with the postscript "I'll love you until I die."
"Yeah, yeah," said my friends.
On a blind date two years later with the man who would become my husband, I was so anxiety riven and caught up in the conversation that I left my plate of pasta virtually untouched (he still teases me about it). I had a cold on our second date, and just before we said good-night, Michael carefully fastened the top button of my coat. Thinking about him a few days after our third date, I missed my bus stop.
Michael and I married around the same time Stephen and his wife divorced (so I learned through the grapevine, the same way I learned, a few years later, of his remarriage), and in due course we had two children. We acquired couple-friends, private jokes, real estate, a King Charles spaniel, pet names and petty grievances. When I arrive first at a restaurant or movie theater and watch Michael come into view, I can feel my mouth spread into a goofy grin. There he is, familiar and unutterably dear. He belongs to me, I think. I belong to him.
But on the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves that run the length of our fronthall, where my complete works of Jane Austen, Elinor Lipman, Nora Ephron and Calvin Trillin stand alongside Michael's collections of Tracy Kidder, Lee Child and Robert Caro, there are also novels by Julian Barnes, Malcolm Bradbury and Lee Smith, all gifts from Stephen, all inscribed by him. My face still flushes when I read the messages.
The affair hangs on like a dominant seventh chord, haunting and not quite resolved. I have a life that I love and, truly, no regrets. I should move on. I have. And yet. When I nag my husband about his diet, when I'm after my children about their unmade beds, I imagine Stephen overhearing and thinking, Yup, I dodged a bullet there.
Last year, the weekend we took our son to college for the first time, I got an e‑mail with the subject line "Remember me? Your little San Francisco friend." I read it off my cell phone, hands shaking, as I stood in line at the university bookstore waiting to pay for the desk lamp and fitted sheets my son had forgotten to pack. The moment I'd been dreading for 18 years—my little boy is leaving home—was colliding with the moment I'd been fantasizing about for nearly three decades. "I'll be in New York in early October," the message said. "Can I see you?"
Then and there, I began planning my wardrobe (skinny jeans, long-sleeved Petit Bateau cotton crewneck), my deportment (a hug is OK, but nothing lingering) and my pronouns (use weas often as possible).
Stephen was waiting for me outside a café on the Upper East Side. We awkwardly embraced, and I gauged my reaction to him—wary, curious, and yes, my heart was thumping a bit—as though calibrating a terrorism-alert threat level. Over cappuccino (mine virtually untouched), I covered my nervousness by asking about his work, about his now-adult children. He asked if my husband knew about our meeting. (Of course he did.) Didn't his wife? ("She asked me if it was something I really wanted to do. And I said it was.") Perhaps he'd like to meet my husband? ("I don't think I could bear it.")
I told him I was still an obsessive swimmer and had taken up cooking and gardening with a vengeance, all things I'd written about in various publications.
"Yes, I know," he said.
"You know?"
"I've been following your work for years. I'll start to read something, and honestly, I can tell it's you without looking at the name."
We had never been very good at sitting across a table from each other. Stephen had barely gotten to the bottom of his coffee cup when I suggested we adjourn to Central Park, where we wandered and talked for the next three hours. I learned that he had been in New York several times over the years but hadn't gotten in touch. He'd done so this time, he said, because "I didn't want to not see you again."
Before leaving me in the late afternoon (to meet his wife's brother for dinner), he spelled out his preferred terms of engagement: OK to the occasional e-mail, but please, no phone calls, "because we know where that has led." I considered retorting, "Oh, where was that?" But for one of the few times in my life, I shut up. I returned home in the euphoric state so familiar to me from my love-affair days.
I have a long-married friend who sees her college boyfriend for lunch once or twice a year. She has no residual sexual or romantic feelings for him, but she hears his voice and instantly remembers what it felt like to be 18.
Well, I don't want to remember being in my twenties, hopelessly in love with a married man. I want what I got on that unseasonably warm autumn day: validation that I had mattered to the married man. But it turns out I wanted much more. I wanted to know that I still matter.
And of course now he'll read this and know that he still matters to me.

In a few weeks time I will be taking part in expedition skiing across Iceland. Our kit will be in pulks and we will be skiing with Nordic skis. Uphill I'm sure we'll need skins, but on the flatter sections, would grip wax provide enough traction?

Yes, you can get away with just grip wax on flatter sections, assuming the weight of the pull is not too much. I regularly pull an infant in a similar configuration using just grip wax, even climbing small hills (legs akimbo), total weight is probably about 30lbs, but I know others with older kids that are pull closer to 50lbs.

ZF-905: Create a Zend_Db adapter for ODBC
Create a new adapter that supports the PHP ODBC API.
Assigning to Darby.
Correcting mistake in Summary field.
Sorry for the switcheroo - I thought I was looking at a different JIRA issue.
How far is the status for this issue ?
Actually there is no way to connect to a problematic mssql database where only odbc works like stated within PHP's own PDO documentation.
Do we have any taskplan for realisation ?
I attached an ODBC system Adapter for PDO. Not fully tested, but connects, and processes queries.
I tested it only with systemdns. Set the option 'dbname' for the database to connect to. Not listed connections should also work, but I didn't test it.
Any response would be great. I could add this to incubator if others are willing to test it also.
Yes, we have been wanting an ODBC adapter for some time, and this would be a great start. I would be willing to test this, definitely. Since this is a DB adapter, no proposal is needed, according to the historical record. Thanks, Thomas!
Hidden costs: there exists a great variety of ODBC drivers that may have subtle incompatibilities or specialized options. Need to test with unixODBC and FreeTDS as well as Windows ODBC driver manager.
I don't know what you mean with hidden costs about the code I added but related to incompatibilities the only working solution in my eyes would be to add an table to the documentation with additional data.
We would have to define a sort of testbed which will be tested against different database connections. So the result could look like this:
DB / Select / Order / Left Join / Transaction Mssql / X / X / X / --- Access / X / X / --- / ---
Wil copied and pasted the "hidden costs" comment from an email I sent him some time ago.
I meant the cost of testing multiple configurations, and supporting them. Some people will try to use the ODBC adapter with unsupported brands of RDBMS. This may become a growing support cost to respond to these users, troubleshoot their issues (i.e. install a strange brand of RDBMS to reproduce the user's issue), and enhance the Zend_Db_Adapter_Odbc to satisfy them.
How many brands of RDBMS back-end should be included in the test suite? Should you test ODBC connected to Microsoft SQL Server only, or also test ODBC connected to MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, DB2, and SQLite? Given the current architecture of the Zend_Db tests, this will be complex, because different tests need to be skipped depending on the SQL behavior of the back-end. If you test only MS SQL Server, how will you respond to a user who reports a bug when using Zend_Db_Adapter_Odbc connecting to Oracle?
Regarding incompatibilities or specialized options, I meant things like driver-specific connection properties and driver-specific extensions, etc. Not necessarily SQL features supported by the RDBMS. Character set support is a good example, because some different RDBMS use different names for the same charsets.
Well I don't know how ODBC works under Unix but under Windows you normally define systemdns and you will not have any additional connection properties because you define them within the ODBC manager and not within your PHP code.
We are able to connect to undefined dbs like shown within PHP's documentation, but we are not able to provide informations to connect to all possible ones. Maybe some examples but this is basically a PHP problem and not a ZF one.
Same thing with supported features. This is why I said to add a chapter to the documentation describing which dbs have been successfully tested and what won't actually work.
I would not want to add over 100 different ODBC connection tests... it would be better to have the testsuite configurable to everyone could test his ODBC connection. Complete testsuits would only be done for the main RDBMS.
Anyway... if all is too much complicated I would propose not to include the ODBC adapter and let him in the labratory.
I just can say that I was not able to connect with any adapter to my MSSQL database... this was the reason to create the ODBC adapter. And I think that several other out there would like to have this adapter included.
Yes, the MS SQL Server compatibility is the primary motive for implementing an ODBC adapter. We talked to a developer at Microsoft and she admitted that the pdo_mssql driver has issues and it is not being maintained any more.
I recommend designing the unit tests for the ODBC adapter with the assumption of a connection to MS SQL Server. In the documentation, describe this as the purpose for the ODBC adapter. Also state in the doc that using the ODBC adapter with any other RDBMS is not officially tested or supported. No need to write a comprehensive compatibility chart, because this would be a very long document.
That's my feedback for what it's worth.
I like what Bill says here. Any objection to moving toward resolution this way?
I agree because the MSSQL Server was my intention to begin the development for this adapter.
So we would just support a way to connect also with non-configured RDBMS additionally to System-DSN. But Zend_Db would only be tested and officially working with MSSQL. Other RDBMS would be good but are not the goal of this adapter.
Isn't the future of connecting to SQL Server from PHP the driver that was announced at ZendCon? http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx/… If MSSQL Server access is the issue, why not build an adapter on top of this driver?
I could still see an ODBC driver like the one that Thomas has put together, but I'm very reluctant to add anything to core with such a large caveat (it's only been tested against some databases and db configs). I think it's obviously a highly useful addition, but AFAIK we haven't had to make such a caveat before and it erodes the high-quality claim of ZF core somewhat; if we proceed, I would want to discuss among the team and community whether it's more appropriate for lab or incubator.
Setting the Target Release and Fix Versions to None and Unknown. Progress on the implementation of this feature should definitely continue- especially as it seems to be a very popular one- but we should wait until it has been decided to include it in core to set release versions.
Well... I didn't know that driver. It's too new
But there are some problems :
- It is only for test purposes... explicit not for production environment so for most users not acceptable
- It does only support MSSQL 2005... so for the often used MSDE or MSSQL 2000 Server we would not have a solution
- It is not deployed with PHP... it is a third-party driver
- It is server-exotic... does not work with PDO but introduces once again new commands like the old depreciated way in PHP4 :-(
And related to ODBC... ODBC was created to support almost any database which has an connector to it. I don't see this as problem. But I can live with anything you decide.
But there may be a solution... we could rename it to ODBC_MSSQL or something and allow only to support mssql through the driver-directive.
Unassigned as help was not accepted from the main authors.
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Some notes for others:
For dynamic ODBC DSNs for SQL Server at least, you need a $dsn returned from _dsn() of the form:
"odbc:DRIVER={SQL Server};UID=username;PWD=password;DATABASE=databasename;SERVER=(local)"
Also, in describeTable(), I needed to add ``` after the first call to fetchAll() (3rd line of non-comment code in the function) to prevent a "Connection is busy with results for another hstmt" error with SQL Server 2000.
Just for you information:
I've worked sometimes on this issue. The dev-team decided to divide this class in multiple classes so we define WHICH ODBC connection is supported.
The problem is that a ODBC adapter would imply to support ALL ODBC Connections which is not possible. But if we divide this into multiple subadapters, one for each possible RDBMS this is no longer a problem.
/Adapter /Adapter/Odbc /Adapter/Odbc/Mssql.php /Adapter/Odbc/Excel.php /Adapter/Odbc/Access.php
and so on. Keep this in mind before integrating the incubatored class to core. The incubatored class was tested with MSSQL2000 and MSSQL2005.
Greetings Thomas
These are just some notes on this class file while testing. Even though this class file is going to get split up, I'm assuming the functionality currently in incubation will get used in the end resulting class files.
So far in my testing, the ODBC adapter breaks the ??Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable?? functionality when it trys to quote a value in SQL. This is due to the fact that the PDO_ODBC PHP driver does not implement the ??quote?? method. This method is called in the ??_quote?? method on the ??Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Abstract?? class. This causes the ??Zend_Auth_Adapter_DbTable?? to generate invalid SQL when authenticating.
When specifying a database name while passing a ??Zend_Config?? instance to the ??Zend_Db::factory?? method, you have to specify "dbname" (for ??Zend_Db??) and "Database" for the MS SQL Server driver DSN. To me this is a bit redundant. Plus if you specify "dbname", the full DSN is not created in the _dsn() method. It assumes you're using an already created ODBC connection in the connection manager.
I ran into a problem with running multiple queries on one connection. This was in a comment on the issue from Rob Allen, where it returns the "Connection is busy with results for another hstmt" error message. In MS SQL Server 2005, you can get around this by specifying ??MARS_Connection="yes"?? in the DSN. In MSSQL 2000, you'd have to close the cursor/statement object after every execution. To get around the DSN problem, I modified the Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Odbc to overload the _checkRequiredOptions() method. I just made the method do nothing. This allowed me to get a full DSN generated when connecting.
I hope this helps.
AFAIK the quoting issue is related to php/ext/pdo_odbc/odbc_driver.c : odbc_handle_quoter() which is not implemented as of php 5.2.6. A quick'n' dirty solution, and not even fully tested, is to overload quote() and quoteInto() methods into Odbc.php itself.
As an example I'm attaching a new Odbc.php with these overloads.
Support for quote() and quoteInto()
Reassigning as Ralph is the maintainer of Zend_Db
Related to issue ZF-3493, I provided a patch there for odbc support in the existing mssql adapter and it seems to work, although I did not do extensive testing, so this is very vague.
However, the existing Mssql adapter already supports different drivers. We could do this for any adapter: if you want odbc, specify odbc as the pdoType. Just an idea anyway, given al your considerations above, I feel this might not be feasible.
Why is now N/A priority?
Since the release of SQL Server Driver for PHP, it seems like the primary reasons for attempting to include odbc support have diminished. Is there any reason why we should persue this in light of the Zend_Db Sqlsrv adpater?
The only reason one could want ODBC support is if one could use this from a linux box to connect to a remote windows box SQL server instance. On a windows box itself, de SQL Server Driver is the prefered option.
Correct, the SQL Server driver provided by Microsoft is only supported on Windows boxes. Microsoft is deprecating the use of dblib drivers (i.e. unicode field results refused by server to dblib clients).
On Linux boxes, the only options are dblib and ODBC. ODBC is still the preferred option in Linux. That is until Microsoft ports the driver to Linux. Unless there is some reason to believe that such a port is on the horizon, I believe there is still reason to pursue a PDO/ODBC adapter.
On a personal note, I do have a stake in this adapter.
An ODBC adapter would also be useful for other RDBMSs besides SQL Server -- for example IBM DB2. You have to pay for a driver from IBM to access DB2 through PDO IBM. I have rigged up my own adapter for this purpose, based on the work already started here, although it is pretty weak and I would love to be able to use an official ZF adapter.
ok, thats a valid point.
So I need some background. Assuming I am on *nix or mac, and want to enable pdo/odbc, what set of technologies do I have to have installed? How do I get a working stack that will be capable of talking to sql server on windows?
Eugene: why cant you use the IBM DB2 RTCL for the client library, thus use the Zend_Db_Adpater_Db2 adpater?
Ralph: AFAIK, the only technologies required (besides those you've already assumed) are:
ODBC Driver Manager
MSSQL Specific ODBC Driver
PHP PDO ODBC module installed
You might find some useful information, and drivers, in these places: http://www.sommarskog.se/mssqlperl/unix.html http://www.sqlsummit.com/ODBCVend.HTM http://www.unixodbc.org/drivers.html
As mentioned in that first link, most of the drivers (at least the good ones) are commercial drivers. However, you may find that most of the vendors offer free trials.
Ralph, Unfortunately because the host machine is an AS/400, it's my understanding that DB2 Connect is required. Looks like RTCL would work great for DB2 running on AIX or something else though.
I think we should re-evaluate the goals here.
It seemed like originally, the goal was to provide access to MSSQL via PDO/ODBC (via freetds/unixODBC). I've examined this route (and it was painful indeed.) Unfortunately, the freetds through unixODBC doesnt even pass 1/2 of the unit tests we have. The majority of them fail on a casting text to int issue that seems pretty common on the internets.
So, for WinPHP -> SQL Server, we have the Sqlsrv extension which is well maintained and supported by MS. For *nix/PHP -> SQL server, we have PDO_Mssql/Dblib (via freetds) which appears to be fairly robust and by my calculations, passes all of the same tests as Pdo_Mssql (via ntwdblib.dll) running from windows.
Ultimately, I don't think we can implement this inside a single adapter. This is b/c mainly, adapter are tied to a specific vendor implementation. That means that the metadata queries like describeTable(), listTables() and limit() are vendor specific. As you can see inside Pdo_Odbc attached, the limit() is very MSSQL centric. If the goal was to provide different vendor implementations, that would have to be done on an adapter-by-adapter basis. So, if someone wanted to provide a working Pdo_odbc adapter for the say Access, Excel or even DB2 driver; then they would have to propose something like this:
Pdo_Odbc_Access Pdo_Odbc_Excel Pdo_Odbc_Db2 and so on.
These drivers will have to pass a great majority of the unit tests as well as work on multiple platforms.
All that said, this is still open for discussion, but I feel like its coming close to "Won't Fix". I am open to working with anyone on specific adapters, but he above requirements would need to be met, and my current research concerning the state of the underlying drivers leaves me skeptical.
Any action on this issue the one related? I'm currently looking for a method to connect to a MSSQL server from a unix host.
Thank you,
@Florin: I use the adapter Pdo_Mssql with the option pdoType = dblib (http://fr2.php.net/pdo-dblib)
yes, i'm using the same adapter at this moment, but from what i see this is experimental:

Man those jerseys are hard to look at.
Not only is the blue hideous, but the red looks like it's been through one too many cycles in the washer.

I never understood the blue, and where it came from.
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.

I never understood it either, but I think it may have come from when ISU had the Cy with the Tornado body logo. The tornado was outlined with a blue line. It seems like that was discussed here before. Looks like that may be the logo on the shorts in the photo?

-Be kind. That is something you will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old "I wish I was not good to that person".
Did we ever wear navy blue uniforms? I swear we did this for a game or two sometime under Floyd but I've never been able to find a pic of it and I might just be going crazy hear.

Social Work Program Director: Janelle Hinchley
Social Work Faculty: Janelle Hinchley, Kerby Plante, Rene Sespene-Hinz, Felicia Washington
The Board of Trustees at the College of Saint Benedict and the Board of Regents at Saint John's University determined in 2009 to close the Social Work major. No students not already admitted to the major will be admitted. Those students admitted to the major before May, 2009, will be able to continue in the major and appropriate opportunities to complete the major will be provided to these students through the 2011 spring semester.
Social work is both a profession and a social science. As a professional discipline it uses methodologies from psychology, sociology, and other fields to meet the basic human needs of all people. As a profession social work pays particular attention to the needs of and empowerment with people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and economically impoverished.
The principal educational objective of the social work program is to provide students with a knowledge base and a set of skills and professional values necessary for beginning generalist practice in a wide variety of settings. The Council on Social Work Education has awarded this program full baccalaureate level accreditation. Graduation from this program allows a student to sit for the State of Minnesota Social Work Licensing Exam, baccalaureate level (Licensed Social Worker as well as the Merit Exam for county or state employment).
To be a school social worker in Minnesota requires licensure by two different regulating boards. One license is granted by the Board of Social Work and the other is granted through the State Department of Education. The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University is an approved program for school social work certification.
Graduates of this social work program are given as much as one year's credit toward a master's degree when accepted to a graduate social work program.
The Social Work Department is accredited by the National Council on Social Work Education. Our most recent accreditation examination, including self-study and site visit, was in 2007. Evidence that the Social Work program is meeting its goals and objectives includes high passage rates for State of Minnesota Social Work Licensure. The program regularly surveys senior field instructors who have supervised our students. We are pleased to report that these practicing social workers rate our students very highly, and are enthusiastic about supervising our students and hiring our graduates. Finally, our program polls graduates at regular intervals. Based on this data, we can assert that 100% of students seeking a social work position upon graduation are placed in a position within three months.
Required Courses:
Prerequisite coursework: BIOL 112; PSYC 111; SOCI 111; SWRK 230, 250, 251. These courses should be taken during the student's first and second years of college.

CLEVELAND (September 15, 2009) - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Case Western Reserve University along with Beachland Ballroom will host a special launch of the 14th Annual American Music Masters® series honoring Janis Joplin on Thursday, October 22 with an evening with her band, Big Brother and the Holding Company.
The annual event will continue the week of November 9, 2009 and the schedule of events and concert tribute lineup will be announced in the coming weeks.
The kickoff event begins at 5 p.m. in the Rock Hall's Foster Theater where original members of Big Brother Peter Albin, Sam Andrew and Dave Getz will tell their story through an intimate live interview. Immediately following, Big Brother will participate in an autograph signing. The Rock Hall interview is FREE and open to the public. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call (216) 515-8426 to RSVP.
"It's appropriate that we kick off this year's celebration with Big Brother and the Holding Company," said Dr. Lauren Onkey, vice president of education and public programs for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. " Janis Joplin's career as a rock singer began when she joined Big Brother—they were the perfect match. We're thrilled that they can join us and help to tell Joplin's incredible story."
The evening will continue with Big Brother and the Holding Company performing live at the Beachland Ballroom. Doors open at 7 p.m. Big Brother will be joined by Cleveland's own Mary Bridget Davies, the actress and vocalist who played Joplin in the Cleveland stage production "Love, Janis" inspired by Janis' sister Laura's best-selling book of the same name. Tickets to the concert go on sale Friday, September 18 and are $18 in advance and $20 day of show. Visit http://www.ticketweb.com.
The Rock Hall will capture an oral history from the band to include in the Rock Hall's Library and Archives which will open to the public in late 2010.
Now in its 14th year, the American Music Masters® series explores the legacy of a pioneering rock and roll figure in a range of events that includes Museum exhibits, lectures, films, a major conference and a tribute concert benefiting the Rock Hall's education programs. Drawing together experts, artists, fans and friends, these events provide new perspectives on the most beloved and influential musicians of the past century.
The tribute concert brings together a diverse mix of artists and musical styles, and as a result, many magical moments have taken place over the years. In 2004, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss performed onstage together for the first time to honor Lead Belly. This year the pair was awarded the highest honors of Album of the Year for Raising Sand and Record of the Year for "Please Read the Letter" at the 51st annual Grammy awards. Honoree Jerry Lee Lewis, who was not scheduled to perform at the 2007 concert, was moved to take the stage at the end of the show. Lewis tenderly played the piano and sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." At the first American Music Masters tribute concert, Bruce Springsteen set the bar high and performed in honor of Woody Guthrie. The most star-studded and unique performance by a trio was Aretha Franklin, Solomon Burke and Elvis Costello paying tribute to Sam Cooke in 2005. Last year, a 93-year-old Les Paul took the stage with his trio and then led an epic jam with some of rock and roll's greatest guitarists, from Jennifer Batten to Slash.
About Big Brother and the Holding Company
Big Brother and the Holding Company was formed by Peter Albin, Sam Andrew, James Gurley and Chuck Jones in San Francisco in 1965. They quickly became the house band at the Avalon Ballroom and began to develop a loyal following, largely due to the charismatic, pioneering guitar work of James Gurley.
During the winter of 1966, Chuck Jones left the band and was replaced by Dave Getz. Peter Albin was the main vocalist at this time, and although Sam helped out with the singing, it was time to find a singer who could match the group's instrumental energy. A friend, Chet Helms, remembered Janis Joplin from his University of Texas days and brought her back to San Francisco, where she had tried to launch a singing career in 1963 and 1964. Janis came to town, sang a couple of tunes with the band and was enthusiastically welcomed into the group, playing her first Big Brother engagement at the Avalon Ball room in June of 1966. Big Brother had been a loose, ramshackle, experimenting ensemble and now, with Janis, the music became more structured and the band became a family.
In August 1966, Big Brother went to Chicago where they recorded their first album at Mainstream Records and in the ensuing months began to build an audience. June of 1967 brought the Monterey Pop Festival, where Janis became larger than life and propelled Big Brother into the national spotlight. Janis had the freedom to be herself and people responded to the power of the band and to Janis' unique voice.
Janis left Big Brother in December 1968 and Sam Andrew went with her, while Peter Albin and Dave Getz joined Country Joe and the Fish. In the fall of 1969, Peter, Sam, Dave and James resurrected Big Brother along with new members Dave Schallock, Nick Gravenites and Kathi McDonald and released two albums, Be A Brother (1970) and How Hard It Is (1971).
Recent Big Brother and the Holding Company CD releases have been Do What You Love, the Janis Joplin boxed set on Sony, Live At Winterland and now the band is preparing a new offering, a live recording of a concert in Burg Herzberg, Germany.

I think none of them cause msity and may are gone dawn likes kenny in pokemon cartoon network said no one will kiss on there for a long time so I don't think i choose it but if 1 did it would be misty
may is the best!
better then the rest
I think shes the rules
don't u forget it
Misty is an all-round girl, May seems dumb.... and Dawn just looks like a popular girl who only thinks about her image.
If Ash were a real man, he should go for Dawn, since she's the hottest... or misty since she's not completely brainless and she's not completely ugly.
However i think, i will have children before actually seeing ash involved with any of the girls in a romance plot.
And if the show is still going on, i wouldn't be surprised to hear of one of my sons "Is ash gay?"
He'll probly hook up with Latias.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
[Cuz she's sexy like that]
It'd suck as much as it does now anyway.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
only one real choice Ash would technically be 16 years old. But no he stays with out puberty but Misty is best cause she is the same age. It would be weird 10 year old with a 16 year old or 11 year old funky. Besides DAWN and MAY are too good for him.
I had lost my way during my journey
Only my soul was wandering while I stood still
But right now Im walking to a distant place
Thats right ever since I met you on this road
The travellers witnessed the song the forbidden song
And i became attatched to it as I heard it alone with you
If the world I was in my dreams exists somewhere
Let's go search for it beyond the winds
Whether it's a freezing dawn
a dry midday
a shivering night
or the ends of the Earth lets go and see it
I'd like to see this research.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
M<ay cause i saw a hentai about her she is pretty good at stuff
guess my favorite poke?
LOL @ hentai about may
anyway, i think may too.
Hentai should never be a good reason for anything.
But sure, why not.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
Id have to say dawn because misty downright hates ash and may likes other people.
also some of dawns pokemon are in love with ash's pokemon
and ash is a wuss he goes on so called "journys" with girls and not once has he ever kissed or been kissed by one of thoes.
The only 1 is latias who KISSED ash and made him a picture
and latias is a pokemon!!!! SO he basicly never kissed or been kissed by a girl besides his MOM AND ADDED TO THAT the girls he goes with hate him besides dawn. Ash is lame. He should be like brock but not crazy but not shy. he should make friends with them get to know them and get more serious about a year into.
Fuck assh.
Sry for the anger
had to let it out
Nothing that hasn't been said before.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
Misty. after the 1st couple of gyms, she was just using the bike as an excuse to follow him around
misty beacuse ash has been with her longer
It was an interesting question that was never going to be taken seriously, on this forum, I suppose. But I'll answer it properly, only because there was a thread like this on PokeCommunity that Careful With That Axe, Pichu closed before I could reply to it. Personally, I think Ash should be with Misty, as she's the original, she actually knows how to battle and back in the day, a few of her comments made me laugh. I can't quite remember what they were but I do recall thinking she was the funniest character by far. May, I really don't know, since by then I had sort of given up on the anime as it was just terrible at that point, but I did tune in a couple of times. I actually like May, to be honest. Have you not seen the various methods she uses in competitions? If I was smart enough to do that in the games I would've been finished with competitions a long time ago, but, I'm not. As for Dawn, she's by far the prettiest character on the show, but she seems rather dim to me and doesn't really have an interest in Ash's goals. I'd say AshxMisty forever.

Misty, b/c she was the original. But the overall things she wears...they need to go...

City Sightseeing Canal Cruise
Cape Town's famous open-top bus tours have long been known as one of the best ways to see the Mother City. Whether it's through the bustling streets of the city, along the winding cliffs of the peninsula, or up to one of the most amazing sunset spots on the continent, City Sightseeing Cape Town has it covered. Its big red buses offer tourists the chance to hop on and hop off at the attractions of their choice, whenever they like – and to do so in style!
But Cape Town is not just about roads. It's also an important port city, thanks to its position as a stopover on one of the world's busiest trade routes. The harbour area has great historical significance, and, of course, there's no better way to see it than by boat. City Sightseeing Cape Town now offers canal cruises from the V&A Waterfront to the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) and back, providing an interesting insight into the city's waterways, and some stunning views to boot.
For all the glitz and glam of the V&A Waterfront, it's also a working harbour. The canal stretches its way from this busy facility into the Foreshore area, making stops at the luxurious One&Only Hotel, the Harbour Bridge and finally the CTICC, offering visitors a chance to hop on and hop off along the way. This is particularly useful for those staying at these hotels, or for giving their restaurants a try. The CTICC also hosts many important events, and this is a great way to arrive there!
"It's a really different perspective on the Waterfront," says Leanne Pohlmann, who recently took the canal cruise for the first time. "If you are there and you've got an hour to kill, it makes for a great little round trip. And if it's a windy day, the canal cruise is nicely sheltered from it.
"The most interesting discovery for me was the stand-up paddleboarding lessons that you can take in the canal," she says. "The waters are clean and calm, and so it seems like a perfect place to learn how to do it."
Stand-up paddleboards are a popular adventure sport, and the canals offer an easy place to train. However, for those who'd rather sit than stand while in the canal, the City Sightseeing tour provides interesting audio commentary (available in 16 languages) for you to enjoy while relaxing on board!
The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and offers great views of Table Mountain, Cape Town's city centre, the V&A Waterfront, and a sneak peek at some of the homes of the rich and famous that line the Waterfront – some apartments even have their own jetty!
Adults pay R30 and kids cost just R10 (or FREE as part of certain City Sightseeing packages).
For more information, or for bookings, contact Cape Town Tourism on +27 (0)86 132 2223 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
