myotonic dystrophy, is an inherited muscular dystrophy that affects the muscles and other body systems (e.g., heart, eyes, and pancreas). It is characterized by prolonged muscle tensing (myotonia) as well as muscle weakness, pain, and stiffness. Signs and symptoms usually develop during a person's twenties or thirties. Muscles in the neck, fingers, elbows, and hips are typically affected; facial and ankle muscles are less commonly involved.[1] The severity of myotonic dystrophy type 2 varies widely among affected people, even among family members.[2] It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern and is caused by mutations in the CNBP gene.[2] Treatment is based on each person's specific signs and symptoms.Myotonic dystrophy type 2, one of the two types of

THE PARTY Joel McHale hosted a star-studded evening inside The Beverly Hilton hotel to honor winners of the 15th annual Costume Designers Guild Awards. THE PLAYERS Mary Rose, Madeleine Stowe, Jacqueline Durran, Judianna Makovsky, Eduardo Castro THE HIGHLIGHTS Steve Martin used his trademark dry humor to salute Distinguished Collaborator Award recipient and SNL head honcho Lorne Michaels. "As a young producer," Martin said, "Lorne came up with a crazy idea about costumes: hiring an expert." And just days shy of snagging her first Oscar, Anne Hathaway was presented the Lacoste Spotlight Award. Upon receipt of the crystal crocodile trophy, Hathaway thanked Les Misérables costume designer Paco Delgado for choosing pink for her opening scene look. "Somehow with that one color you effectively communicated what took Victor Hugo 50 pages to explain," the actress said. "That vibrant, unexpected, hopeful and defiant pink revealed to the audience so much about Fantine, which in turn freed me up for what I had to do."

**The soft opening is canceled for tonight and will be rescheduled**
Wow, that was fast!
Deja Vu, the club that just late last year took over the spot that was formerly Voyage and Blue Room, is now Zen Exotic Lounge & Club.
With a name like Deja Vu, self-fulfilled prophecy perhaps?
Well I haven't heard back from the club, that is located at 17 Pine Street in downtown Orlando, but they are having their grand soft opening tomorrow night. And it's a fundraiser for Japan and Haiti disaster relief. NFL players Joe Burnett from the N.Y. Giants, Kevin Smith from the Detroit Lions and Ike Taylor from the Pittsburgh Steelers will be there to celebrate. Doors open at 9 p.m. and ladies are free until midnight. It's $10 otherwise and all proceeds will benefit the Red Cross.

Not-so-risky business
Daniel Berman
Built in the mid-1960s, the Factoria Transfer Station in Bellevue will be replaced with a larger and enclosed facility. The project's expected to cost the King County (Wash.) Solid Waste Division $90 million.
Rogers (left) and Hague at one of King County's 10 transfer stations.
King County Dept. of Natural Resources and Parks
Working in or near private right-of-ways is another major cost risk factor for seemingly straightforward projects like trail creation.
King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks
To the layman, existing utilities are a straightforward aspect of construction. But they're a potential complication that can greatly affect project cost.
To lower the number of truck trips to and from the factility and improve payload efficiency, King County's new Factoria Transfer Station will have a garbage compactor.
If managed rigorously, legislators and constituents celebrate a project that was delivered as close to budget and deadline as expected.
King County, Wash., is BIG. With a population of 2 million, it's the 14th largest county in the U.S. More than $1 billion of its $4.5 billion annual budget goes toward capital projects.
Even so, the county executive and nine-member council face the same challenges as any county leaders. High-budget, high-profile projects have gone substantially over cost and schedule estimates, leading to troubling headlines. Unforeseen price increases in 2005, '06, and '07, for example, pushed subcontractor bids on a levy-funded hospital so high that construction had to be put on hold.
"Legislators were surprised when the contract didn't protect them from market risk," says King County Capital Projects Oversight Manager Tina Rogers, P.E. "The project was put on hold, and the county initiated a public/private partnership."
In the end, the hospital was a positive story for elected officials; the county was able to transfer some risk to the developer and a larger project was delivered. Still, it left legislators wanting more time to consider policy options and more opportunity for proactive management … and that feeling led to an opportunity.
"Like all large counties, there's such a huge diversity of projects that it's difficult for the legislative branch to identify the projects which present the greatest challenges," says Rogers. "It's not their job to manage projects; it's their job to fund projects. Still, staying on top of the issues is important, and having a grasp of big initiatives, plus hundreds of smaller projects, is difficult for legislators who may or may not have experience in construction. We needed a system that would help them be better informed, especially about the highest-risk projects."
And here is where King County is unusual.

Metropolitan King County Council, District 6
"We couldn't find any models, at least not from a legislative perspective," Rogers says. "We did have some guidance from risk assessment consultants who'd worked with county executives from an internal management perspective, but we had to adapt that to a system that would work for our council."
Launched in 2010, the resulting Capital Project Risk Scoring Instrument has substantively changed how the county delivers major infrastructure projects.
"If deemed high risk, a project won't get funding all at once, only in phases; and more information will have to be submitted to obtain individual phase funding," Rogers says. "For example, a formal assessment must be completed, an up-to-date risk register maintained; and during construction, a quarterly report submitted to the council."
Jane Hague, the vice chair of the county council, says the process is working: "With these efforts, especially the improved communication, we've encountered fewer surprises. This builds transparency and public trust."
In short, King County's experience provides helpful insight for any public works agency striving to manage financial risk in an era of challenging budgets.

Pause for Appreciation
While we were reading about random acts of kindness a few weeks ago, one was being performed for Stacy, an Anoka-Ramsey Community College student with a flat tire. Naturally the temperatures were in the 90's, the dew point was almost off the charts and her cell phone was out of commission. She found her way to the Professional Training Center (PTC) to use the phone and Allan Callander offered to see if he could put on her spare. They went out to her car (on Mississippi Blvd – traffic central at the end of the day) and Allan found that she was moving – her backseat and trunk were full. He managed to find her spare tire (had to remove a "few" things) but couldn't find her jack (it was underneath her car near the driver's seat!) at first. Finally, with the necessary tools, he found the lug nuts were rusted in place (oh, happy day). After spending some time trying to pound them to loosen them (we could hear him at the PTC), Mike Thayer of Facilities showed up with a spray can of Liquid Wrench (oh, happy day). With that final modern touch, they were able to put her spare tire on her car and she could be on her way. Allan made it back to the PTC a bit damp, but a hero!
Printed copies of the college employee telephone directory will no longer be distributed in your mail box but are available to print as needed from HERE.
The Anoka-Ramsey Community College Cambridge Campus Foundation recently elected five new members to their board of directors: Clyde Bloyer, Ray Magnuson, Deborah Molano, Greg Owens and Seth Zeltinger.

The Golden Rams are currently 8-2 on the season and 2-0 in Conference play.
Please encourage students to apply for scholarships available for spring. For many students, scholarships are more than tuition assistance; scholarships motivate students to work and excel when they know someone else, usually a total stranger, believes in them. Criteria to qualify for scholarships range from course of study to place of residence to credit enrollment. If you know students who could benefit, please encourage them to pick up an application from their respective campus foundation office.
The deadline to apply for these scholarships is November 1.
For further information, contact Lisa Sisson, Scholarship Coordinator, at x1294

Michael Wall, Anoka-Ramsey Community College Alumni Director, does not hesitate to give credit to his wife for inspiring him to lose weight.
Michael knew he was not healthy, and he knew that becoming out of breath from the first floor to the second was not a good thing. Still he continued to say he was fine, until his wife spoke up.
"She told me she was worried that I would die and she would have to live without me," Michael recalls.
With the incentive of getting most of the initial fees back through the employee Wellness Works program at the college, Michael joined Weight Watchers (WW).
The program worked for him before when he was a member about 12 years ago, but once he stopped attending the weight crept back up. "There can be a lot of weight-gaining momentum when you eat without thinking about the consequences," says Michael. "There certainly was for me."
This time around, Michael weighed in for the first time the Saturday before Thanksgiving 2009, starting just before a food fest to show his earnest attitude.
"I like Weight Watchers because their points system is like shopping with a limited amount of money," says Michael. "I can buy the expensive shoes if I want, but I can forget about the suit to go with them! In other words, I can eat anything I want if I'm willing to count it toward my limits, and pay the piper in sacrifice if I choose to indulge."
As of this writing, Michael has lost 86 pounds, and found a lot of benefits including compliments, a happier spouse and, best of all, simply feeling better.
"Needing new clothes is both good and bad," he notes.
"What a deal the Wellness Works program is!" continues Michael. "I am healthier, my wife is happier, and the program was free. Well, almost. After a few months I was on my own financially, but the weight lost at that point made it an easy sell to keep it up."

Author Wang Ping will read from her book of short stories, "The Last Communist Virgin," Wednesday, Oct. 6, at 1 and 2 p.m. at the Coon Rapids Campus.
"The Last Communist Virgin" is a Minnesota Book Award-winning story collection about modern China and the contemporary Chinese-American experience.
With this work, Wang Ping returns to fiction in a new story collection that stands out as one of the few books on modern China and the contemporary Chinese-American experience. From the restaurants of New York's Chinatown to the retail emporium of Bergdorf Goodman, and from remote Chinese military outposts to the streets of Beijing, these stories open a window into the rapid transformations of an ancient culture.
"The Last Communist Virgin" is a book about love in a fast-changing world: love for the people and the land from the west and the east, love for the new and the old, the real and the imaginative, the technology around us and the soul within us. It's a book about longing for peace and harmony in a world that is becoming more crowded and competitive. It's also a book about the quest to achieve harmony at any cost.
This event is free and open to the public.
It is that time again! Your Sunshine Committee is once again asking for your support.
The function of the Sunshine Committee is to provide support for faculty and staff on the Cambridge Campus in times of sickness, sorrow, and joy. We send cards, fruit baskets, gift cards or other gifts to those who are hospitalized, have experienced joy at the birth or adoption of a child, or have lost a family member to death. We also send cards to those in our community who have been out for an extended period of time due to illness.
We encourage you to keep us informed of events taking place within the Cambridge Campus family, and we would also like to encourage you to contribute to the sunshine fund. Any amount you can give will be appreciated and applied directly to the fund.
Donations can be made in cash or by check made out to the Cambridge Campus Sunshine Committee and sent to either Pam Peterson or JoAnn Iskierka.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!

The following is an excerpt from a letter received by Biology Faculty member, Melissa Mills from a former student. If you receive a heartfelt thank-you from a current or former student, please let us know.
Hi Ms. Mills!
This is Karla Hedgers (formerly Salwasser). I was your student a couple years ago. I took you're A&P II and Women's Biology courses and really enjoyed them. Actually, it was your Women's Biology class that made me decide to work within women's health. I teach a method of Natural Family Planning (NFP) called the Creighton Model.
You had a great section of the course that talked about contraception. I remember you talking about NFP, which sparked my interest into exactly what NFP was.
Thanks for being such a great instructor—your Women's Biology class was by far the BEST course I have ever taken and it has literally changed my whole life! I am such a critical thinker about women's health and the issues surrounding (specifically contraception, of course).
Talk soon!

September Wellness Workshop - Nature Walks
In May of this year the Continuing Education/Customized Training Division of Anoka-Ramsey Community College was restructured as the Professional Training Division. This name change symbolizes the re-energized focus on businesses and organizations in the community surrounding Anoka-Ramsey Community College.
Professional Training has a full staff of Directors of Training, support staff and student workers and all of the classrooms are filled with learners! The result is the little building on the corner "bursting at the seams." Currently, there are five offices that house 12 people and when KidU hits every summer that number grows! After exploring several possibilities it was noticed that the former Klein Bank was now an empty building and might provide some needed elbow room. Negotiations ensued, and the key to the Klein Bank building will soon be in the hands of the Anoka-Ramsey facilities staff. The renovations will be minimal and the college intranet will need to be installed in the building. The hope is that our directors will soon be able to move into the "old Klein Bank" by mid- October.
While it is early in the year, Anoka-Ramsey is experiencing skyrocketing interest in their athletic programs.
In the 2009-2010, 104 athletes participate in the college's seven athletic programs. So far in the 2010-2011 year there are 135 athletes, a nearly 30 percent increase.
"I attribute the increasing popularity of our athletic programs to many factors," says college Athletic Director, Dave Alto. "First, Anoka-Ramsey offers a great environment that includes wonderfully supportive staff and students and outstanding coaches. There is also the strong desire of these student athletes to continue playing their sport after their high school years."
Anoka-Ramsey is adding a new softball field at the Cambridge Campus. The field, enclosed by fencing, will include a new irrigation system, a sod outfield, a batting cage, enclosed dugouts and a storage building. Electrical power will be installed to the storage building, batting cage and to the outfield for a possible scoreboard in the future.
Currently, Anoka-Ramsey offers:

"Music is my first memory…If a note didn't sound right, I'd fiddle around with it until it did. That remains to this day my idea for harmony: experimenting until it sounds beautiful to my ear. In high school I wrote my first songs as English class projects, and when I played them, I knew I had found a very fun thing to do for the rest of my life…for the next decade I earned my living singing harmonies, arranging songs and driving across the country in a beaten, old Ford van. I remember that feeling I had in high school; the feeling of knowing that I was meant to do music. I still have it now, when I wake up at 3 a.m. with a song in my head, or when I tinker at the piano and stumble across those notes that go together like peanut butter and jelly. I'm no Emily Dickinson, no Shakespeare. My only hope is that some of my thoughts and dreams and loves will outlive me through my music, and that years from now, a 2-year-old might be fiddling around to find the perfect harmonies to go with my songs."

The Coon Rapids Campus recently welcomed Carl Corbett as a General Maintenance Worker.
During the business week, Carl cleans the Therapeutic Health & Healing Center. On Saturdays, he opens and closes the Coon Rapids Campus, cleaning and performing repairs as needed.
Carl, who has taken some classes at Anoka-Ramsey, was a computer technician for eight years. For a year he also delivered for Jimmy Johns sandwich shop.
Carl, who has been full-time stay-at-home father, also takes care of his two daughters two-and-a half years old and four months old.
When asked why he came to Anoka-Ramsey, he says, "I was offered the perfect shift for a stay-at home-dad."
Eventually his daughters start school, he would like to return to Anoka-Ramsey to get a degree and work again in Information Technology (I.T.).
A resident of Anoka, Carl enjoys being outdoors, and camping in Grand Marais, Minn.
Welcome, Carl!
Fourteen fabulous student-actors have been cast in Coon Rapids Campus fall play, "Harvey," on stage at the Performing Arts Center, Nov. 5, 6, 12 and 13 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 14 at 2 p.m.
Cast Members
About Harvey
"Harvey," a play by Mary Coyle Chase, opened on Broadway in 1944 and won the Pulitzer Prize for drama the same year. The story follows mild-mannered eccentric Elwood P. Dowd and his best friend—a tall, invisible rabbit named Harvey. Embarrassed by his behavior, Elwood's sister Veta and her daughter decide to have him committed to a sanitarium. Misunderstandings flourish and the sanitarium doctors accidently commit Veta instead. When the truth comes out, Veta threatens to sue, which send the doctors on a frantic search for Elwood. They finally find him, but Elwood's polite and cheerful kindness raises the age-old question of who is more dangerous: the pleasant dreamer with an active imagination or those who want to force him to conform to so-called reality.
Student and staff are eligible for two free tickets, available at the bookstore.
Monday, Sept. 27, noon to 1 p.m., Back Patio

When Kristen Walsh planned the home birth of her second son, she invited five women who live just a few minutes' walk away to attend. It's not unusual for a family member to support a woman through labor. But for Walsh, 44, it was important that her neighbors be involved. "They're my community," she explains. She printed out the lyrics of several songs for them to sing, including "Air I Am" and "Opening in Sweet Surrender," hoping that the simple, repetitive melodies might help ease her body through the birth process. When her contractions began, the women headed over to her place, song sheets in hand, and for the next hour or so, their voices filled her bedroom.
A former radio-station program director, Walsh might have found it hard to pull off a production like this if she hadn't been part of the Puget Ridge cohousing community in Seattle. Here, 23 families live in their own town houses while sharing a 2.4-acre plot of land, a common house, some meals and a deep sense of responsibility for one another.
LikeWalsh, I'm drawn to the idea of living within a community's supportive embrace. My husband, Lucas, spent a considerable chunk of his childhood on a commune, the old-fashioned hippie kind, with lots of bearded guys and very little indoor plumbing. But now we live with our two young sons in a single-family home in Brooklyn, New York. Good friends reside in the vicinity, but we're all so time strapped that it's hard to see one another. If our homes were closer together, I'd have a cushion of companionship and cooperation—or so I imagine. We'd share shopping, kid chauffeuring, a snowblower and compost bins.
Coincidentally, in my conversations with women, those living solo as well as those with families, a similar longing keeps surfacing.
This kind of interest in group life is growing. The Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC), which tracks and fosters living collectives, says traffic on its website (ic.org) has climbed 10 to 15 percent each year since 2005. FIC's first directory, published in 1990, listed about 325 American groups. Today's online version names more than 1,900 established "intentional communities" (to use the term preferred by collectivists to refer to cooperative living arrangements based on explicit common values). About 350 identify themselves as eco-villages and grow at least some of their own food. Old-style income-sharing communes number about 240. Cohousing developments like Puget Ridge account for at least 120. Women seem to find intentional communities appealing, particularly as they get older, says Laird Schaub, FIC's executive secretary and a longtime communal resident in Missouri who has visited more than 100 of them.
Should I seriously consider a move to one of these outposts? I decide to find out by visiting three, starting with Puget Ridge (pugetridge.net). Trudi Fajans, a family friend, was 43 when she became a founding member of Puget Ridge, drawn by the vision of living among a tight-knit circle of friends. She invites me to dine alfresco at a patio table next to her town house. Soon what I thought would be a quiet meal morphs into a lively social hour as neighbors stop by to chat.

Affiliated with
Everett, MA…Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) has collaborated with area nonprofit The Art Connection to create a more welcoming environment for patients, visitors, and staff at CHA's Whidden Hospital campus. The Art Connection, an organization that connects artists and collectors with community service groups, facilitated the donation of 21 original works of art by 14 artists for recent installation at the Whidden campus. This current placement of original art joins placements from 2009 and 2010 for a total of 66 works of art donated to the Whidden campus through The Art Connection to date.
A committee of CHA staff selected the pieces of diverse media, including acrylic and oil paintings, pastels, watercolors, and a monotype. The Art Connection also provided partial funding towards the framing of unframed artwork. CHA organized a bake sale and raffle to raise money to frame the rest of the artwork, which is displayed throughout the hospital.
"The artwork has truly transformed the hospital," said Deborah Murphy, RN, MHA, site administrator of CHA's Whidden Hospital campus, located at 103 Garland Street in Everett. "Both patients and staff constantly tell me how much more inviting the hospital environment is with the addition of these pieces, and I am extremely grateful The Art Connection provided us with this opportunity."
The Art Connection builds connections between artists and their communities by bringing art to community organizations – clinics, youth and senior service programs, job training centers, shelters and residential programs, and more. This simple but powerful idea has resulted in hundreds of installations into scores of organizations, giving those who often have the least access to art direct contact in their own communities. For more information, visit www.theartconnection.org.
Cambridge Health Alliance is an integrated, award-winning health system that provides high quality care in Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston's metro-north communities. It includes three hospital campuses, a network of primary care and specialty practices, and the Cambridge Public Health Dept. CHA is a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate and is also affiliated with Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and Tufts University School of Medicine.

Lee Corso predicts Florida Gators football in BCS championship game with…
ESPN analyst Lee Corso delivered a keynote speech to a corporate company recently at the ESPN Grille, located on the Wide World of Sports property, about his life and job. During the speech, Corso gave his BCS national championship game prediction– Florida Gators (No. 4, Associated Press) vs. Nebraska (No. 8).
Yes, you read that correctly. No repeat for the reigning national champions and No. 1 ranked Alabama despite the return of Heisman trophy RB Mark Ingram. (Interestingly enough, HeismanPundit.com does not have Ingram as one of its top 10 candidate picks for the coveted honor).
After reading Urban Meyer's recent "panic" comments at the development of the Gators team thus far, a national championship game appearance seems out of reach right now, but then again, it is very early and college football is still in the "anything is possible" phase.
I caught up with Corso before he walked out the door to ask him a quick follow-up question about the prediction.
Q: Can you expound on your prediction of Nebraska and Florida?
A: "Nebraska is building a good team. They won five of their last six games last year, they lost one point to Texas and clobbered that Arizona team. They've got a lot of good guys coming back and coach a good defense. They've got a good offensive line, good running backs. I think they've got a chance. They have to beat Texas, but they got Texas at home. Then they got to beat Oklahoma, I think, in a championship game. That's why I pick them because they're real good defensively."
Our time was limited and he didn't comment much on Florida so I followed up with one of Corso's ESPN co-workers, Jesse Palmer, on a conference call earlier this week to get his thoughts about the chance of another Gators appearance in a national championship game.
"In my opinion, this is a very difficult schedule for the Florida Gators this year. When you consider games at Tennessee, at Alabama, you get LSU at home, you get Georgia in Jacksonville and you have to travel…when you lose players like Tim Tebow or Aaron Hernandez or Maurkice Pouncey or Riley Cooper or [Brandon] Spikes on defense or Carlos Dunlap, you lose that sort of leadership and I think it becomes very difficult. "
Palmer added, "I address and I understand they're probably more five star recruits out of high school that'll be starting for the first time this year at Florida than most schools can boast in the country, but the most these kids have ever played in front of before is at the most 5,000 people and it's very different when you roll into stadiums and there's 150,000 and you play in these SEC stadiums on the road. That's a very different atmosphere and I'm curious to see just how fast this Florida team can grow up and find it's leadership."
Palmer didn't give a yes or no response to my question referring to Corso's early Florida prediction, but you can deduce from his response that he thinks Florida has a tough road ahead.

Last month the International Horticultural Expo opened in Xi'an. This international exhibition is not just about gardening, but also covers the technology of cultivating nature and land use in the broadest sense. For China this is the next major international event after the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
At the International Horticultural Expo, the focus is on relationship between man and nature. Thus there is a strong emphasis on sustainability. Because of the substantial and rapid urbanization in China, there is emphasis on sustainable urban transformation. Therefore, Xi'An is an interesting choice of location for the International Horticultural Expo. Xi'An is the ancient capital of China. It is known from the Terracotta Army and for centuries a major cultural center. Today, it is an important knowledge city with some 100 universities and research institutes in the vicinity. It aims to be the greenest city in China to be. Xi'An wants to set an example for other cities, and the Expo is a showcase for others cities to study.

Cougars Fall on Senior Day to No. 1 MSU, 52-17
Using a balanced offensive attack and a stifling defense, the top-ranked Minnesota State University, Mankato Mavericks (10-0, 6-0 NSIC South) defeated the University of Sioux Falls 52-17 on Senior Day in front of a crowd of 2,103 at Bob Young Field.
MSU scored on eight of their eleven offensive possessions and outgained the Cougars (5-5, 3-3), 563-346.
"They're for real; they have the size, speed and a very good quarterback," said USF head coach Jed Stugart. "I liked our fight, but we were just out-matched today."
"I hope MSU wins the national title for our conference and I think they have the team to do it," he added.
USF freshman quarterback Matt Young completed 18-of-38 passes for a career-high 225 yards with one touchdown and one interception, while Carrington Hanna was 3-for-7 and was picked off once. Maverick senior signal caller Jon Wolf finished 12-for-14 for 198 yards and two touchdowns. Both Young and Wolf were sacked three times in the game.
Connor Thomas (17 carries, 135 yards, 1 touchdown), Wolf (13 carries, 82 yards) and Andy Pfeiffer (9 carries, 66 yards) led a MSU rushing attach that churned out 346 yards on the ground.
The No. 1 Mavericks put the game away early. After forcing the Cougars to punt away the game's opening possession, MSU took over at its 26-yard line with Wolf ripping off runs of 17 and 25 yards to quickly move the Mavericks into USF territory. Moments later, Wolf connected with Dennis Carter for an eight-yard touchdown strike.
On the second snap of the ensuing USF offensive series, Justin Otto picked off Carrington Hanna for the Mavericks' 20th interception of the season.
Starting at the USF 36, Wolf carried the ball for a two-yard gain before Cougar defensive lineman Evan Gentry sacked him for a four-yard loss. Wolf then hooked up with Carter again for a 28-yard gain before Andy Pfeiffer plunged into the end zone from 10-yards out to put the Mavericks up 14-0 with 6:57 left in the opening quarter.
After the teams traded punts, MSU added another touchdown on Pfeiffer's six- yard run after a USF failed fourth down conversion at the Maverick 23 to build a 21-0 first quarter advantage. Wolf's 71-yard pass to Carter, his favorite target, in double coverage to USF's 6 earlier was the play that seemed to seal the Cougars' fate and also contributed to 356 first-half yards for the Mavericks.
Matt Young moved under center with three minutes to go in the first quarter, which allowed Carrington Hanna to move back to the slot receiver position for the first time in the last four games.
Things went according to form as the Cougars found little ground against the nation's fifth-ranked defense and managed only one first half score, Bradley Hatfield's 32-yard field goal early in the second quarter that got them within 21-3.
MSU continued to control the ball and the clock, as they held the ball for nearly two-thirds of the first half (19:23-10:37) and tacked on two more scores for a 35-3 halftime lead.
The Mavericks received the ball to start the second half and again found the end zone as Connor Thomas capped the nine-play, 75-yard drive with a two-yard run.
USF replied with a 63-yard scoring drive of its own highlighted by Brady Rose's 14-yard burst to the MSU 1. Rose, who picked up 26 of his team-high 42 rushing yards on the drive, barreled in for the score. The point after was blocked and USF would trail 42-9 after three quarters of play.
On their first possession of the fourth quarter, the Cougars began to move the ball down the field with back-to-back rushes by Young that put the ball at the USF 21. Staring at 3rd-and-4, Young targeted Wes Smith, but Jared Gillespie intercepted a tipped pass and returned it for eight yards to the USF 34.
MSU backup quarterback Mitch Brozovich started the Mavericks' next drive with a 19-yard pass to Matt Murphy. He picked up 14 yards with his feet on the next play to give to Mavericks 1st-and-10 at the USF 1. The Cougars held Brozovich and Chad Zastrow for no gain on the next two snaps before Zastrow eluded the tackle on 3rd-and-goal and scampered to end zone to give the Mavericks a 49-9 lead.
Sioux Falls put together its final scoring drive on the next series, an eight-play, 63-yard effort that saw Young go 4-for-5 on the series, including three passes for a combined 41 yards to Hanna, who hauled in the 18-yard touchdown pass and tacked on two more with the successful two point conversion.
MSU added a late field goal to create to final 52-17 margin.
Hanna finished with 11 catches for 128 yards and a score. Wes Smith earned game-high honors for all-purpose yards for the second straight week, racking up 235 yards (82 receiving-147 KR-6 PR). Austin Vanhove had three catches for 19 yards.
An always-improving Evan Gentry was perhaps the brightest spot in defeat for Sioux Falls. Gentry tallied his team-leading fourth and fifth sacks and he was also credited with five tackles, including two for a loss of 12 yards.
"Evan keeps coming on and getting more confident with his pass rush," said Stugart. "I'm really proud of Evan and he's another one of our true freshmen that has a very bright future in our program."
John Batinich paced the Cougars with nine tackles while Jonathan Talbot and John Tidwell finished with seven tackles apiece.
Today's game was the last at Bob Young Field for 17 seniors: Carrington Hanna, Wes Smith, Khiry McDonald, Aaron Hanna, Thomas Marshall, Jordan Johnson, Dakota Fiene, Jonathan Talbot, Tyler Swanson, Korben Leegaard, Chris Harris, Shane Hyronimus, Sam Dooyema, Joel Martens, Austin Vanhove, Jerry Brady and Tait Johannsen.
USF will close out the 2013 season next Saturday at Wayne State (2-8). The Cougars (5-5) need a victory to give the program 20 straight seasons with a winning record.
"I told the team that we're either going to have a winning season or a losing season," said Stugart. "I bet you we bounce back; I don't see us going in the tank."

The gala, part fund-raiser, part celebration, part see-and-be-seen moment, was packed. I thought I was early as I made my way up Wakara Way to the new museum only to pull into a line of cars waiting to unload well-heeled and well-dressed passengers. The event allowed ticket holders a chance to float through the exhibits with a glass of wine and canapé or two. Every one of the museum's five floors was packed with celebrants. Here's a blurry look at last night via camera phone (and some previous images from a hard hat tour).
Oh yeah. The museum is now open for educational business at 301 Wakara Way (adjacent to the Red Butte Garden reception center) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (open until 9 p.m. on Wednesdays).

Brow Fix is a clear, wax-based pencil that allows you to shape and tame even the most unruly brows. The waxy texture is firm, yet soft enough to easily apply to brows and it has great holding power for stray hairs. If you apply Brow Fix with too much pressure, your brows can look unnaturally matted, but otherwise this product leaves brows soft and manageable. You can wear Brow Fix alone or over a brow powder or tint for a more defined look. As an added bonus, you can use this product as a clear lipliner to prevent your lip color from feathering or you can use it under eyeshadow to give a darkened liner effect. How cool! Note that although this pencil needs routine sharpening, we made an exception and assigned it our highest rating because it performs so well.
Anastasia Beverly Hills At-a-Glance
Strengths: Specialized brow products; top-notch brow powders with an impressive shade range; great brow pen and tinted brow gel; one excellent powder blush; good brushes and products for taming unruly brows; a couple good starter kits for those new to brow grooming.
Weaknesses: Expensive; horrible brow pencil; some of the kits mix really bad products with good ones; mediocre skin care; subpar mascara; the lip gloss is merely OK; products that don't live up to their claims (though that's hardly unique to this line).
The Anastasia Beverly Hills product line was developed by "definitive eyebrow expert" Anastasia Soare, a woman who owns a chic Beverly Hills salon. Her namesake product line is built around specialty brow products and shaping tools based on her criteria. Although she has expanded the line to include skin-care and other makeup items, the brow products remain the heart of the line; the skin care seems to be little more than an afterthought.
What sets the Anastasia line apart is the wide selection of brow-grooming products and their impressive shade range for natural-looking brows. Overall, the line is a mixture of both good and bad products, at a relatively high price point. We were expecting to find great brow pencils from a line devoted to perfecting the eyebrow, but Anastasia failed miserably with their extremely hard-textured Perfect Brow Pencil.
Their skin-care products also rank low in terms of efficacy and high in terms of misleading claims, and the mascara misses the mark completely. There are a few so-so makeup products you can ignore, and some of the brow kits have a frustrating mix of good products and awful products.
On the flip side, what's great about Anastasia Beverly Hills are their fabulous brow powders, good brushes, brow-taming products, and some helpful products such as Brow Fix, Brow Pen, and Tinted Brow Gel. They also have a beautiful Blush Quad and a couple of good highlighter pencils. Many of the products cater to those who are new to brow shaping (including a brow stencil set), and, depending on your local department store, you may even be able to schedule an appointment with an Anastasia brow specialist who can show you the way, following the namesake company founder's famous Golden Ratio.

ZF-7691: Zend_Cache clean() does not work
I'm trying to remove a cache with a specific tag. the clean()-method returns true, but the cache file gets not deleted or cleared.
How I save the cache: Someone is looking at a database record over a controller, i'm generating a individualy cache-id with some params. I start a new cache block and call it with $cache->end(array('tag', 'tag2'); When I'm going to save the existing database record i want to delete the cache. So I build up a new instance of the cache object in my model, and search for matching cache-ids.
my code looks like this:
$cacheIds = $cache->getIdsMatchingTags(array($this->getId()));
foreach ($cacheIds as $cacheId) {
I don't know what to do else? I think that is a problem with Zend_Cache, r/w permissions are set cause i can write the cache on the given path.
Can you specify your Backend type and options? i.e. Xcache, Memcache , File etc.
$config = Zend_Registry::get('config')->cache; $cache = Zend_Cache::factory( $config->frontend, $config->backend, $config->frontendOptions->toArray(), $config->backendOptions->toArray());
I think this issue may be similar to ZF-5740.
I suggest the following code:
$result = ($result) && $this->remove($id);
should be:
$res = $this->remove($id);
$result = $result && $res;
$result = $this->remove($id) && $result;

Politics » Tax Proposals: Obama Vs. RomneyThe two men vying to occupy the White House for the next four years say they want to reform our current complicated tax system. But until that can be achieved, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are proposing tweaks to the existing tax code.
Politics » Tax Proposals: Obama Vs. Romney
The two men vying to occupy the White House for the next four years say they want to reform our current complicated tax system. But until that can be achieved, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are proposing tweaks to the existing tax code.
Both candidates offer the American electorate only general outlines of their major tax proposals.
The Obama campaign's tax website touches on broad concepts such as raising tax rates on higher-income individuals and closing loopholes on millionaires and billionaires. As for more specifics, the president has elaborated on tax changes he supports in his annual budgets and State of the Union addresses, as well as in the corporate tax reform proposal issued by the U.S. Treasury earlier this year.
Romney also lists on his campaign website some general tax changes he favors, such as income tax rate reductions and maintaining the current tax treatment of investments. But the Republican candidate's plan also is light on details.
Romney's selection of Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., to be the Republican vice presidential nominee raised some tax watchers' eyebrows. As House Budget Committee chairman, Ryan created a plan that calls for just two individual income tax rates (10 percent and 25 percent) and no investment taxes for anyone regardless of income. However, Romney says he, not the new vice presidential candidate, is in charge of the campaign's fiscal proposals.
And while Obama makes no apologies for wanting to collect more money from some taxpayers, Romney insists that any tax changes should be revenue-neutral, meaning that if some taxes are hiked, others should be lowered to counter the increase. The Romney camp, however, has not provided any detail about what tax deductions or credits it would target to achieve federal revenue neutrality.
Here's a look at Obama's and Romney's positions on major tax areas affecting individual and business taxpayers. Not surprisingly, the two men's tax plans generally reflect the differences between their two political parties.
Ordinary individual income tax rates
Current tax rates:
Interest, dividend, capital gains
Certain qualified dividends are currently taxed at capital gains rates, which are zero percent for taxpayers in the 10 percent and 15 percent tax brackets and 15 percent for all other taxpayers.
General interest earnings, i.e., on such investments as CDs, are taxed at ordinary tax rates.
Carried interest, i.e., the share of profits that private equity and hedge fund partners receive as compensation, is taxed at capital gains rates.
Impose the so-called Buffett rule, i.e., a minimum 30 percent tax on high-earners.
Dividends taxed as ordinary income for individuals with adjusted gross income of $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly).
Retain 15 percent tax on interest, dividends and capital gains for all other taxpayers.
Estate tax
Currently, estates worth up to $5.12 million are not taxed, with estates worth more than that taxed at 35 percent.
Alternative minimum tax (AMT)
Separate tax rates of 26 percent and 28 percent currently apply to certain taxpayers who make more than an excluded threshold amount.
Corporate tax rate
The corporate tax rate is 35 percent at the present time.
International taxes
This is generally a worldwide system where all income, regardless of where earned, is taxed.
Research and development (R&D)
There was a 20 percent credit for qualified R&D expenditures in excess of a base amount; a 14 percent simplified credit was available to eligible taxpayers. This R&D credit expired Dec. 31, 2011. It's expected to be renewed.
A renewable electricity production tax credit for, in part, wind, solar, geothermal energy production is available, as is a variety of tax credits and deductions for oil and gas operations.
Eliminate tax preferences for fossil fuels.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 30 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by LEA725 Great Piece for any Room I waited on buying this and when I finally bit the bullet, I couldn't be happier! Shipping and assembly was very easy (just had to put legs on). The loveseat fits the space perfectly and is very comfortable! February 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Booknerd Love the look I really love this loveseat. The different buttons give it so much personality. It's comfortable for two to sit on, or for one with feet up. It was the perfect addition to my reading room. January 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CarolinaQT Love This Seat!! I absolutely adore this cute little loveseat. It fits perfectly in the bay window space in my bedroom and the linen color works really well with both the hardwood floors and the rug I have in the center of the room. It's not a smooshy chair, but comfortable enough to lounge in. The tight weave is a little scratchy against bare skin, but that's easily fixable with your favorite soft throw or blanket. It just got here yesterday so I haven't had a chance to break it in with a good book, but I am really looking forward to it. October 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MeLikeALot Very Happy with this Purchase :-) This loveseat is adorable. I purchased it for my home office. It sits right across from my desk. It looks lovely!! A few people who have seen it, think it looks great. I will say though the linen material is not the most comfortable if you sit on it with shorts, it feels a little rough. However, that is minor. It really is going to be more for looks, people won't be sitting on it very often. I think the round colored buttons are adorable and make this piece unique. So glad I got it. Note that it gets delivered in a box. You have to open box and screw the legs on and stand it up. Very glad I bought this!!! September 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SZASZV This product for its size is very comfy The perfect love seat, comfortable even though the linen upholstery is not the best quality. Love the different buttons. All in all a great value for the price we paid. July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JefnNashville The perfect loveseat for my master bedroom I fell in love with the loveseat when I saw it in-store and, thanks to the advice from buyers here I was able to get it at a better price. Ordering and shipping wee relatively painless, although I would have preferred picking it up in-store and can't understand why that is not an option. Style-wise it is the perfect size and color for my master bedroom (it sits at the foot of the bed) and, frankly, would complement any color story in the house. It's comfortable and sturdy (though lightweight), and the design is rather timeless. I think the buttons are what sets this design apart from others, while the price makes it a far better value than a similar item at Pier One. April 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AEddy Definitely Cute as a Button This is an adorable little love seat that was perfect for our master bedroom. It is small, and really only comfortably seats one grown adult at a time, but if you have a smallish space that just needs a little something to make it pop, this love seat does the trick. I have two cats, so I was pleased to read the reviews indicating that cats may not tear up the fabric. After having this love seat in the house for a few weeks now, one of the cats has fallen in love and has started using it as her bed at night, but I have only caught her attempting to scratch the arms/back of the love seat a couple times. Because the fabric is smooth and there's nothing that they can really pull on with their nails, I think the cats are just not that interested in destroying it. April 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by shoppinghappily Just Adorable I must say the delivery company that brought the loveseat was fantastic. With the first order they noticed a hole in the box, sent a photo to World Market and was told to send it back. World Market immediately shipped out another (of course I had to pay twice and then wait for a credit) but I appreciated not having a possibly damaged item dropped off for me to deal with. I just got the "replacement" and I really love it, and love it even more that I caught the special sale the few days it was marked down. (I had been checking back every now and then, hoping I'd get lucky.) It actually is larger than I had anticipated -I know, the measurements are given, but with all the "cute" and "small" comments, I was expecting something smaller- but it works in the space, is comfortable, and not one of the buttons has the same patterned fabric. Love that! I plan to "scotchguard" it, and hopefully it will look as sweet as it does now for a long time. March 20, 2014
