PCC in the News
News: Season Preview: Women's Soccer Kickin' It Just Fine With New Coach
For some programs, playing for a new head coach can be a slow transitional process where returning sophomores have to learn new team rules and learn to communicate with a different person in charge. For the Pasadena City College 2013 women's soccer team, the team's 10 returning lettermen don't have that issue under first-year head coach Reggie Rivas.
Rivas coached all of those sophomores as freshmen when he assisted then head coach Randy Lilavois during the Lancers' run to a 2012 regional playoff spot. Rivas is making an almost seamless move in becoming PCC's new leader this season.
"I ran the practices last year, so my familiarity with the sophomores is great," Rivas said. "We lost some key players to graduation, but we have a corps that made up a team that finished in second place last year. We set the bar to do better every year and that's our goal. We want to use our experience and depth to return to the playoffs."
The Lancers finished 12-5-5 last year and handed eventual CCCAA state champion Cerritos one of its two losses.
PCC brings back All-South Coast Conference midfielder Cassandra Saavedra, who was fourth in the league in goals scored with 13. Saavedra (from Alverno High) will move to forward and will be joined there by a talented freshman in Helena Macintosh, a newcomer from Arcadia High. Christine Salas, one of three new Lancers freshmen who played on Arroyo High's CIF-Southern Section Division 7 finalist team last year, also will compete at forward.
Maybe the team's bigggest strength is goaltending where the Lancers have perhaps their most talented duo ever defending the net. PCC returns Tatiana Sanchez, who posted a sparkling 1.13 goals against average and six shutouts. Sanchez (from Burbank Burroughs High) will team with freshman standout Angie Ulmer, who was the Rio Hondo League Most Valuable Goalie last year at South Pasadena High. Ulmer recorded seven shutouts and a school-record 31 blankings in her prep career.
The team's defender corps is led by returner Amanda Papac (Arcadia HS) and newcomer Bailey Shaw (Monrovia), who are expected to play at center back. Freshman Karina Costilla (Crescenta Valley High) has the inside track at right back while left back will feature a rotation of letterman Alexandra Martinez (Sierra Vista) and two Arroyo High products in Laura Rosales and Carmen Aguilar, an All-CIF selection. Adding to the defender depth is sophomore Mackenzie Winslow (Alverno).
The team's midfielders are led by returning starter Cassandra Orozco (Crescenta Valley, three goals, four assists last year) at defensive center. The attack centers include returners Isabella Montano (Glendale, one goal, three assists for PCC) and Alexandria Jimenez (Mark Keppel). PCC's left wings are slated to be Sara Oceguera (Blair High, Rio Hondo League honorable mention) and sophomore transfer Kaylin Richards (Glen Wilson High and City College of San Francisco). At right wing, returners Taylor Gore (Burbank HS, two goals, one assist) and Lizbeth Rodriguez (Sierra Vista, 1 goal and second on the Lancers in assists with seven) will see action.
The midfield depth continues with frosh newcomers in Carina Flores (Garfield High) and Bianca Martinez (Sierra Vista).
"I'm excited about getting to explore the tactical side of things in coaching matches," Rivas said. "We're playing in what I believe and other coaches know to be the toughest level league in the nation for community colleges in the South Coast Conference. From top to bottom, the teams are talented and every match is going to be a battle."
The team's assistant coaching staff is made up of associate head coach Grant Clark, a CIF title winner for the Crescenta Valley High boys team, Heidi Strauss, an assistant on Pasadena Poly's CIF State Southern California Regional Division III championship team earlier this year, and volunteer assistant Catrina Flores, who is a junior varsity girls coach at Crescenta Valley.
Rivas makes his PCC head coaching debut Friday, Aug. 30 when the Lancers open the season at the Ventura College Showcase Tournament in a 1 p.m. match against Orange Coast. PCC comes right back with an 11 a.m. start on Saturday, Aug. 31 v. West Valley.
The Lancers' home opener will be against Moorpark in a 5 p.m. match at Robinson Stadium on Friday, Sept. 6. The team's 14-match conference schedule won't begin until Tuesday, Oct. 1 at El Camino College (4 p.m.).

YORBA LINDA When Valerie Vilardi and her daughter Alexandria traveled to Spain to find their first Andalusian eight years ago, they rode 150 horses and brought home two.
Since then, the Vilardis have made the breed a part of their family by creating the Renaissance Equestrian Center, which specializes in breeding, training and selling these horses. The business fulfills a passion of working with horses and in particular the Andalusians, also called Spanish horses, known for their trainability, calm temperament and beauty with long, silky manes.
Valerie Vilardi lives on the same property that her parents bought when the family moved to Yorba Linda in 1963. She uses the stables at her home for seven horses: Two are mares that she expects to give birth in April and May; four are foals being trained; and there is her beloved stallion.
The city has changed drastically since she rode her childhood horse Mayrab along Yorba Linda Boulevard years ago.
"I've ridden through most people's bedrooms," Vilardi said. "They weren't bedrooms (at the time) – they were fields with barley."
Valerie's father considered himself a "Brooklyn cowboy." While growing up in New York City, he would enter any contests in which he could to win a pony. It never worked out. But after moving to Anaheim, Valerie's father bought his 12-year-old daughter a white Arabian foal from their neighbor for $150. It was Mayrab.
The family's interest in Andalusians was sparked when Alexandria Vilardi started working at Medieval Times in Buena Park. She started in the photo department but was mentored by the former head horse trainer, Jose Manuel Iglesias. Alexandria Vilardi started out helping Iglesias put young horses under saddle by sitting on them with no saddle or reins so they could get used to being ridden.
"He called me his 'little dummy,'" said Alexandia Vilardi, 32. "Your only job is to sit on these horses and not get bucked off."
Under Iglesias' mentorship, she learned the higher levels of dressage and went on the road to perform across the country with the "'World Famous' Lipizzaner Stallions" show.
Although the Vilardis keep their breeding operation in the stables at Valerie Vilardi's home in Yorba Linda, most of the family business takes place at their 3-acre ranch in Norco, home to 30 horses at any given time.
Anyone looking to purchase an Andalusian should be prepared: The two foals that Valerie Vilardi expects to be born in several months have already sold for $6,000 each. Two 18-month-old foals are expected to go for $15,000 each. An Andalusian that is saddle-ready starts at $25,000.
What is an Andalusian?
The Andalusian breed, also known as the Spanish horse, dates back about 8,000 years, when it roamed the mountains of the Iberian Peninsula, which now includes Spain and Portugal.
Nearly all breeds recognized today can trace their ancestry back to the Spanish horse, the Arabian, or the barb horse of the Sahara Desert.
The Spanish horse was used by both the Romans and the Spanish conquistadors, as its strength and agility made it a superb war horse.
It's also been the horse traditionally used in bullfights.
Most Andalusians are born with a dark coat that turns white with age, but are called grays because their skin remains black, Valerie Vilardi said.
Vilardi's personal horse is a black breeding stallion named Campanero III; she calls him Tres.
He's trained to bow by stretching one leg out while the other is tucked under.
She prefers riding stallions because of their bravado, but said Tres is unique – he has a sweet temperament.
Vilardi is able to get him to reach back with his large head and hug her with his neck.

News item from 2013
The Ashmolean Museum Broadway – a new independent Museum
The Ashmolean has worked in close partnership with Worcestershire County Council, other local organisations, and the Keil family, to transform a historic building in the Cotswold village of Broadway, Worcestershire, into the Ashmolean Museum Broadway.
The opportunity to work with Worcestershire County Council and other local stakeholders in order to transform the 17th century former coaching inn known as 'Tudor House' in the Cotswold village of Broadway into a new Museum – The Ashmolean Museum Broadway - came about thanks to Mr John Keil and his family. The Keil family owns 'Tudor House' and, since the 1930s, had based their world famous antiques business there. The business ceased operating in Broadway in 2008 and Mr Keil was eager to see the property gain a relevant new use and contribute to the local community in Broadway. And so he generously gave the Grade II* building on a free 50 year lease in order for it to be set up as an independent museum. A trust was created to run the new museum: 'Tudor House Broadway Trust' which involves trustees from the local community, Ashmolean Museum and University of Oxford.
In order to tell the stories of the building using the breadth of the Ashmolean collections, the main interpretive theme that was laid out throughout the museum was chronological. This began with the 17th century, the first period of the house and also the century in which the Ashmolean itself was established – 1683. As visitors walk around the three floors of the property, it naturally becomes lighter, which lends itself to the 'journey' through the centuries. On ground floor, the building has dark wall panelling and the displays include delicate 16-17th century paintings from the Tradescant Collection and a Sheldon embroidery. The first floor is far lighter with no panelling on the walls, which means that the 18th century glass and silver is well lit and the beam structure of the building is also more prominent. The 19th century through to the 21st century are represented on the upper floor, which also has stunning stained glass windows and exposed beams in the roof.
The building itself underwent a major refurbishment physically in order to ensure all aspects of it were the highest museum standards. The work took several months and involved skilled contractors to install the electrical and security systems. Like the Arts and Crafts Architect, C.E.Mallows, who carried out the last major refurbishment in 1908, we ensured that we stabilised and maintained the beautiful and fascinating features of the property throughout.
The Ashmolean Museum Broadway opened to the public on Saturday 7 September 2013, with the accolade of being 'the most significant cultural contribution to Worcestershire in this generation'.
Ashmolean Museum Broadway, 65 High Street, Broadway, Worcestershire WR12 7DP.
Admission: £6/£4.50 concessions
Free: Children Under 5 and Worcestershire Residents (1 per household. Ends 28 February 2013)
Access: Due to conservation regulations of the Grade II* building, Tudor House is not fully accessible to disabled visitors. For more information visit: www.ashmoleanbroadway.org

Plan-B Theatre Company kicks off its season full of works by playwright Eric Samuelsen with Nothing Personal, an intense exploration of the descent of America's idea of justice in a post-9/11 world where things like "enhanced interrogation techniques" are widely seen as acceptable.
Yeah, not exactly a light and fluffy launch of the season, but definitely a thought-provoking one, creatively crafted by Samuelsen. He uses the jailing for contempt of court of Clinton-era scandal character Susan McDougal at the hands of prosecutor Kenneth Starr as a jumping-off point to address America's ever-increasing comfort with injustice, as long as it's in the name of "protecting America."
The McDougal case, while certainly appalling, seems almost quaint compared to the progression of scenes Samuelsen creates addressing torture at the hands of Americans during the so-called War on Terror. He uses McDougal's victimization at the hands of the zealous moralist Starr to show the effects of things like sleep deprivation and solitary confinement, and McDougal's delusions in prison turn into scenes invoking U.S. interrogators waterboarding and torturing prisoners in search of information about Al-Qaeda.
It's a complex structure, but Samuelsen's script rewards the audience with great dialogue and a succession of thoughtful ideas delivered by both McDougal (April Fossen) and Starr (Kirt Bateman). Joined by Dee-Dee Darby Duffin as a prison guard with a subtle but vital presence to the proceedings, both Fossen and Bateman succeed in keeping the audience engaged through the dialogue-heavy, largely action-free production.
Fossen's role is the more physically demanding, crawling on the floor and being repeatedly chained up, while Batemen's Starr circles the stage, shark-like as he attacks McDougal's resolve from every conceivable angle. Together, they and Samuelsen's script keep the audience rapt through 80 intense minutes.
You won't be comfortable watching McDougal struggle through her ordeal, but you'll leave thinking about big questions that deserve all the reflection they can get. That counts as a job well done by everyone involved with Plan-B's production.
Nothing Personal runs Thursdays through Sundays through Nov. 3. For showtimes, tickets and more information, visit the Plan-B Theatre Company website.

Post subject: Impending Execution of Troy Davis
I'm not certain how many of you have heard of this case; it's occasionally gotten into national media, but awareness has largely been at the grassroots level.
Troy Davis came within 24 hours of execution in July, 2007 before receiving a temporary stay of execution. But the Georgia Supreme Court denied Mr. Davis motion for a new trial and now he faces execution on September 23. Troy Davis was sentenced to death for the murder of Police Officer Mark MacPhail in Georgia. The case against him consisted entirely of witness testimony which contained inconsistencies even during the trial. Since then, all but two of the state's nine non-police witnesses from the trial have recanted or contradicted their testimony. Many of these witnesses have stated in sworn affidavits that they were pressured or coerced by police into testifying or signing statements against Troy Davis.
Click here for more detailed information
This case is one of the major reasons I am strongly in favor of abolishing the death penalty. Some of the witnesses in the case were either forced to sign an affidavits that they couldn't read--as they were illiterate--or teenagers who were threatened with life imprisonment without testimony.
Anyway-- I just thought I'd let you all know, and hear your thoughts about this case.

I've read some reports from the Innocence Network website, though not specifically on this case. A lot of the exonerations are from truly appaling cases in which dodgy eyewitness testimony was the only reason for the conviction. The lucky ones eventually got DNA testing which proved their innocence - but in some cases DNA testing cannot be done. Without a doubt innocent people have been executed. At the very least a moratorium on executions would be a good idea for the time being.
Also on the
Innocence Network blog
, check out the reporting from Mississippi, where things are further complicated by what appears to be forensic misconduct by the person who, since the early 1990s, had conducted most of the autopsies there.

I also agree with abolishing the death penalty. The sad thing is the lack of guidelines in determining who will receive the death penalty. It's up to each district attorney to ask for the death penalty so there is no set rules for asking for it. If a DA wants to make a name for himself, this is one way to do it. Other DA's might never ask for it, so it's applied unequally.
Sister Helen Prejean's
Dead Man Walking
is an excellent book on the subject. She is known as the Mother Theresa of death row for her courageous stand.
I have a good friend who is a retired FBI agent who is part of the Innocence Project for Florida as well as an another attorney friend who does death row appeals. Both sees the futileness of killing more from the standpoint of it not being applied equally as well as the expensiveness of execution. It's actually cheaper to give a life sentence instead of executing them. The number of appeals that are done at the last moment for a stay of execution costs big bucks. Leave them in jail forever.
Society tries to do right by the victim of the crime but how do we know if the person found guilty is truly guilty? Unless the person admits to the killing and asks to die, let the rest live in prison for the rest of their lives.
However, I will mention the one person who was executed that I felt deserved to die was Ted Bundy. This is a total emotional reaction on my part but what he did was so heinous that I felt the world is better off without him.

I'm actually working within a few groups I'm in on campus (Catholic Student Association and my school's chapter of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty) to bring Sr. Helen Prejean to campus. I really hope it works out. We're still in early planning stages, but I have high hopes.
It's also horrifying when you look into botched executions. I read a list of all botched executions, I think since the moratorium ended after the Furman decision. I don't understand how it could be considered constitutional, how it doesn't violate the 8th amendment, when people without medical training mix up chemicals and wind up chemically burning a person from the inside out.

Troy Davis was denied clemency, and thus will be executed on Sept. 23.
His only hope is a Supreme Court intervention, but his execution is scheduled before they start this session.
I can't believe there is anyone who is absolutely, 100% certain that he is guilty. Anything less than that in the American justice system is supposed to mean that you're innocent--"beyond a shadow of a doubt."
But the state of Georgia is going to put a man to death, someone who was likely wrongly convicted in the first place.
I felt this way--though not as passionately--when they executed Stanley Williams a few years ago. Was he guilty? Yes; he shouldn't be released from jail, I don't think anyone argued that. But for God's sake, the man was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize while in prison. I think that says something about his atonement for his crimes. But the state of California executed him.
It seems to me that when states face pressure to grant clemency, they never do, even when it's deserved. They'd rather stick to their guns (no pun intended) than show any softness on crime. And that includes executing innocent or repentant criminals.

In a criminal case, the standard is beyond a "reasonable" doubt, not beyond a "shadow" of a doubt.

Well, I think we've got both a shadow of a doubt and a reasonable doubt, if not more than that. At the very least grant the man a stay of execution and properly investigate the allegations regarding the coerced testimony. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable to begin with, and this seems to go well beyond just mistaken identity. What's unfortunate is that there is no DNA evidence to test in this cae, so the guy is completely at the mercy of the court system.

tafka-- Sorry, that's what I meant. That's what happens when it gets late. I start getting movies mixed up with the Constitution. :)
Though, as Yulie pointed out, I think there's considerably more than reasonable doubt in this case.

Don't see the appeal.
Was offered cocaine, heroin, LSD and ecstasy during my holiday with the lads two weeks ago. Didn't feel like trying them there as it didn't feel like a secure environment and I didn't know the dealers. I will probably try them pretty soon though.
My group has taken to sniffing lines of paracetamol painkillers when we consume alcohol, as they thin the blood and get you drunk faster.
I'm not going to post about drugs in a thread called 'drugs'.
I've done quite a bit. My view on drugs is that I have no problem with the careful decriminalisation of most drugs but I think for some people it has become some sort of weird ideology
YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU DO THIS? sdgahfsdgfgsadfhsgfdgjffhdgsfghjfddhfdghklkj;
i can't deal with this

it needs to be processed in your liver to even work lol

weed, "happy shaman"
shrooms, maybe lsd
depends on the drug
One guy went mattress surfing down the stairs, except he was on a table tray and the stairs were right in front a door with a rather pointy door handle sticking out. He's lucky two of the party attendees were fully accredited life guards.
weed, amphetamine, hydrocodone
all i want to try is ecstasy

Codeine and alcohol is asking for a stomach pump, I consumed them together when I was in India. Wasn't pretty.
cocain, escacty, ketamine, crushed adderal and focalin, marajuana, hydrocodone, and a few research chemicals I will never try again.
nothing else probably.

by the way taking cocain and a ketamine together has been the worst experience of my life. two opposite things. plus alcohol. I do NOT miss my party years.

How much do you really need to say to put a sentence together?
Just as fish presumably don't know they're wet, many English speakers don't know that the way their language works is just one of endless ways it could have come out. It's easy to think that what one's native language puts words to, and how, reflects the fundamentals of reality.
But languages are strikingly different in the level of detail they require a speaker to provide in order to put a sentence together. In English, for example, here's a simple sentence that comes to my mind for rather specific reasons related to having small children: "The father said 'Come here!'" This statement specifies that there is a father, that he conducted the action of speaking in the past, and that he indicated the child should approach him at the location "here." What else would a language need to do?
On both sides of the Atlantic—in the United Kingdom and the United States—political parties are realigning and voters' allegiances are shifting.
When United Kingdom voters last week narrowly approved a referendum to leave the European Union, they underscored again how an era of unrelenting economic and demographic change is shifting the axis of politics across much of the industrialized world from class to culture.
Contrary to much initial speculation, the victory for the U.K. leave campaign didn't point toward victory in the U.S. presidential election for Donald Trump, who is voicing very similar arguments against globalization and immigration; The British results, in fact, underscored the obstacles facing his agenda of defensive nationalism in the vastly more diverse U.S. electorate.
But the Brexit referendum did crystallize deepening cultural fault lines in U.K. politics that are also likely to shape the contest between Trump and Hillary Clinton. In that way, the results prefigure both a continuing long-term realignment in the electoral base of each American party—and a possible near-term reshuffle of the tipping-point states in presidential politics.
The show's treatment of the realm's commoners is either a blind spot—or a long con.
"Listen to me, Queen Regent," Tyrion told Cersei way back in the second episode of Game of Thrones' second season. "You're losing the people. Do you hear me?"
Cersei replied with one of her classic sneers. "Ha—the people? You think I care?"
It happened gradually—and until the U.S. figures out how to treat the problem, it will only get worse.
It's 2020, four years from now. The campaign is under way to succeed the president, who is retiring after a single wretched term. Voters are angrier than ever—at politicians, at compromisers, at the establishment. Congress and the White House seem incapable of working together on anything, even when their interests align. With lawmaking at a standstill, the president's use of executive orders and regulatory discretion has reached a level that Congress views as dictatorial—not that Congress can do anything about it, except file lawsuits that the divided Supreme Court, its three vacancies unfilled, has been unable to resolve.
On Capitol Hill, Speaker Paul Ryan resigned after proving unable to pass a budget, or much else. The House burned through two more speakers and one "acting" speaker, a job invented following four speakerless months. The Senate, meanwhile, is tied in knots by wannabe presidents and aspiring talk-show hosts, who use the chamber as a social-media platform to build their brands by obstructing—well, everything. The Defense Department is among hundreds of agencies that have not been reauthorized, the government has shut down three times, and, yes, it finally happened: The United States briefly defaulted on the national debt, precipitating a market collapse and an economic downturn. No one wanted that outcome, but no one was able to prevent it.
They say religious discrimination against Christians is as big a problem as discrimination against other groups.
Many, many Christians believe they are subject to religious discrimination in the United States. A new report from the Public Religion Research Institute and Brookings offers evidence: Almost half of Americans say discrimination against Christians is as big of a problem as discrimination against other groups, including blacks and minorities. Three-quarters of Republicans and Trump supporters said this, and so did nearly eight out of 10 white evangelical Protestants. Of the latter group, six in 10 believe that although America once was a Christian nation, it is no longer—a huge jump from 2012.
Polling data can be split up in a million different ways. It's possible to sort by ethnicity, age, political party, and more. The benefit of sorting by religion, though, is that it highlights people's beliefs: the way their ideological and spiritual convictions shape their self-understanding. This survey suggests that race is not enough to explain the sense of loss some white Americans seem to feel about their country, although it's part of the story; the same is true of age, education level, and political affiliation. People's beliefs seem to have a distinctive bearing on how they view changes in American culture, politics, and law—and whether they feel threatened. No group is more likely to express this fear than conservative Christians.
As it's moved beyond the George R.R. Martin novels, the series has evolved both for better and for worse.
Well, that was more like it. Sunday night's Game of Thrones finale, "The Winds of Winter," was the best episode of the season—the best, perhaps, in a few seasons. It was packed full of major developments—bye, bye, Baelor; hello, Dany's fleet—but still found the time for some quieter moments, such as Tyrion's touching acceptance of the role of Hand of the Queen. I was out of town last week and thus unable to take my usual seat at our Game of Thrones roundtable. But I did have some closing thoughts about what the episode—and season six in general—told us about how the show has evolved.
Last season, viewers got a limited taste—principally in the storylines in the North—of how the show would be different once showrunners Benioff and Weiss ran out of material from George R.R. Martin's novels and had to set out on their own. But it was this season in which that exception truly became the norm. Though Martin long ago supplied Benioff and Weiss with a general narrative blueprint of the major arcs of the story, they can no longer rely on the books scene by scene. Game of Thrones is truly their show now. And thanks to changes in pacing, character development, and plot streamlining, it's also a markedly different show from the one we watched in seasons one through four—for the worse and, to some degree, for the better.
American-Indian cooking has all the makings of a culinary trend, but it's been limited by many diners' unfamiliarity with its dishes and its loaded history.
DENVER—In 2010, the restaurateur Matt Chandra told The Atlantic that the Native American restaurant he and business partner Ben Jacobs had just opened would have 13 locations "in the near future." But six years later, just one other outpost of their fast-casual restaurant, Tocabe, is up and running.
In the last decade, at least a handful of articles predicted that Native American food would soon see wider reach and recognition. "From the acclaimed Kai restaurant in Phoenix to Fernando and Marlene Divina's James Beard Award-winning cookbook, Foods of the Americas, to the White Earth Land Recovery Project, which sells traditional foods like wild rice and hominy, this long-overlooked cuisine is slowly gaining traction in the broader culinary landscape," wrote Katie Robbins in her Atlantic piece. "[T]he indigenous food movement is rapidly gaining momentum in the restaurant world," proclaimed Mic in the fall of 2014. This optimism sounds reasonable enough: The shift in the restaurant world toward more locally sourced ingredients and foraging dovetails nicely with the hallmarks of Native cuisine, which is often focused on using local crops or herds. Yet while there are a few Native American restaurants in the U.S. (there's no exact count), the predicted rise hasn't really happened, at least not to the point where most Americans are familiar with Native American foods or restaurants.
People in Great Britain felt their leaders weren't treating them fairly. Politicians in the U.S. should take note.
Britain's Brexit vote has shocked the political elites of both the U.S. and Europe. The vote wasn't just about the EU; in fact, polls before the referendum consistently showed that Europe wasn't top on voters' lists of concerns. But on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, large numbers of people feel that the fundamental contracts of capitalism and democracy have been broken. In a capitalist economy, citizens tolerate rich people if they share in the wealth, and in a democracy, they give their consent to be governed if those governing do so in their interest. The Brexit vote was an opportunity for people to tell elites that both promises have been broken. The most effective line of the Leave campaign was "take back control." It is also Donald Trump's line.
University leaders and observers discuss the intersection of student protests, free speech and academic freedom.
In a Thursday debate titled "Academic Freedom, Safe Spaces, Dissent, and Dignity," faculty or administrators from Yale, Wesleyan, Mizzou, and the University of Chicago discussed last semester's student protests and their intersection with free speech. They shared the stage at the Aspen Ideas Festival, co-hosted by the Aspen Institute and The Atlantic, with Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League; Kirsten Powers, author of The Silencing: How the Left Is Killing Free Speech; and Greg Lukianoff, who leads the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
My colleague Jeffrey Goldberg was the moderator.
The most interesting exchange involved Stephen Carter, a law professor at Yale, and Michael S. Roth, the president of Wesleyan University.
The release of the Benghazi report should have made this a great week for Hillary Clinton, but questions about her email—and a questionable social call by Bill Clinton—have cast clouds over it.
This should have been a great week for Hillary Clinton. On Tuesday, the special House committee appointed to investigate the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, released its long-awaited report. (Well, the majority report. Democrats on the committee released their own polemic the day before.)
The report turned out about as well for Clinton as she could have hoped. While the panel found fault with the way the Obama administration, and Clinton's State Department, ran security for embassies and other U.S. stations around the world, it did not find any new bombshells about the night of the attacks, no details that would suggest Clinton could have acted differently that evening and saved the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others. That outcome largely vindicates Clinton's claims all along, and it mostly puts the question of the attacks to rest after a long and extremely detailed investigation (though not, as Democrats like to claim, the longest). Clinton's political opponents are unlikely to quit talking about it, but the threat of a new, damaging disclosure now seems remote.
The common definition of "clean" might be detrimental to our skin.

A lightbulb. A radio. Maybe a cell phone charger. In Botswana—a country slightly smaller than Texas with the population of Houston—many villagers can't power these basic electronics to communicate with their fellow countrymen, let alone the world. Enter a small team of researchers from the School of Engineering at Case Western Reserve University.
Katie Puttmann, Grace Chen and Duncan Davis accompanied by chemical engineering professors, Dan Lacks and R. Mohan Sankaran visited the Southern African nation last November as part of their senior design project. The students investigated sustainable energy solutions to provide electricity to remote villages in the Kalahari Desert. After extensive interviews with local residents, entrepreneurs, and University of Botswana faculty the team found that green energy efforts such as solar power is more cost efficient than wiring the outback to the national electrical grid.
"Our students were able to see first-hand how the way of life is totally different for people in African villages, and how these differences often necessitate fundamentally different engineering solutions," says Lacks, C. Benson Branch Professor of Chemical Engineering. "Sustainable energy solutions that are not economically viable in the US may be the most economically effective solutions in many African villages."
Lacks and Sankaran will return this summer with 15 to 20 more Case Western Reserve students to teach "Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, Heat and Mass Transfer." Besides studying elementary thermodynamic concepts, basic fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mass transfer, the course, taught at the University of Botswana, will utilize engineering applications and an experiencial approach involving field trips to discuss Botswana's regional issues.

Everybody in the wild With Matt and Riley
Dolan Falls Preserve
Dolan Falls Preserve
Everybody watch the video!
College students Matt Vale and Riley Engemoen are traveling throughout Texas this summer, visiting Conservancy preserves and documenting their adventures through Matt's pen and Riley's video camera.
By Matt Vale
I love the Davis Mountains, but they sure are dry, and we are thirsty souls in a thirsty desert; Riley, Gus and I leave the mountains for the Nature Conservancy's remote Dolan Falls Preserve on the Devils River. We pick up another friend, Henry, on the way. We turn from a small highway down a carless dirt road, nothing but a bighorn sheep outrunning the car, and miles of dry, rough mesa country—intimations of severe, heat-stricken settlers and mules dragging wagons.
And for any creature traveling the mesas, the Devils River is a miracle of water—it's the cleanest river in Texas, and the Conservancy is instrumental in keeping it that way. Several threatened and endangered species depend on its pristine water: the Devils River minnow, Conchos pupfish, Rio Grande darter, Proserpine shiner, Black-capped vireo, Texas snowbell plant, and a tiny salamander species so rare that it's unnamed. The Devils gets most of its water from the preserve's numerous springs; the Conservancy's spring-fed Dolan Creek contributes 75-80% of the river's flow into Lake Amistad, a critical reservoir for Rio Grande valley communities. The Conservancy and conservation easement partners protect 18,500 acres of the Devils' watershed. That healthy, vegetated land allows rainfall to fully soak into the ground and replenish the springs. And because its watershed is virtually undeveloped, runoff into the Devils is without human pollutants. We drank all of our water straight from the river and springs. The Devils is a delicacy; probably one of the last safe-to-drink rivers in the country. Edward Abbey: "When a man must be afraid to drink freely from his country's rivers and streams, that country is no longer fit to live in." Such are the basic non-utilities of the free-ranging spirit.
We finally reach the Conservancy and climb down to Dolan Falls under a nearly full moon. We jump in exuberantly, reverently. It's strangely calming throwing yourself from the ledge and into the churning, unfamiliar river—you feel the forceful current wrap you up, the water battle-charging down the falls above, the vaguely threatening (fascinating) magnetism of an unknowable, and at the moment, effectively bottomless depth below. So I dive a few body lengths into the black-dark water, partly to scare myself, partly because the cool, gaping, river water infinity tugs at unidentifiable heartstrings and impulses—to get lost waaaaaaaaaay down there. You plunge into the river and it responds with equal force of personality.
Riley and I climb onto the limestone shelf surrounding the falls and sleep. The rock's so sculpted, so human-shaped that it feels like it's gripping you; your body naturally pours itself into the contours. I wake up in the night from a dream about rocks and crashing water, suddenly aware again of the roaring falls, the sensation of warm limestone and blue-grey air.
First light wakes me up. It's strange, even dream-like, to awake already in the presence of such beautiful falls. I just roll off of my sleeping pad (I brought it down in the night), step off the ledge into the river, dive and gulp mouthfuls of clear-green water. It's almost like you were never asleep, like your soul might've been swimming under the waterfall while your body was lying down.
Daylight and goggles demystify the river. The pool is twenty or thirty feet deep, with enormous boulders, shadowy-smooth limestone walls, tunnels passing under and behind waterfall chutes. The water is unbelievably clear for a river, its purity and lushness immediately obvious—giant, two-foot long catfish and bass, gar, and multiple other fish species practically flock around you. (I stuck my head deep into a tunnel under the smaller waterfall, straight into the ten-inch wide, gray-grizzled face of an ancient catfish, a twenty-nine-pounder, so we hear—"Riley! I found the River God!"). The abundance of aquatic life borders on ridiculous: once I jumped from the rocks and half-landed on some turtles.
We wade up Dolan Creek to a small cave, past smooth limestone pools of clear water and inky black catfish, schools of carp darting around our feet, mossy trickles of springwater pouring into the creek from the cliffs' base. Later, we hike into a steep, cowboys-and-Indians-looking canyon, to an overhung cliff with 3-8,000 year-old rock art. I stare at the broad-shouldered, long-bodied figures, their arms enigmatically aloft—one like an anthropomorphized water beetle, another like a spearpoint-shaped womb with an antlered head. And a wriggling, pulsating, yellow paramecium shape, an otherworldly déjà vu—"where have I seen this strange thing before?" We fall asleep on the rock floor. Two canyon wrens echo in the silent canyon, their sunlight-sharp calls creaking like childhood backyard gates.
I wake up; for a minute I've almost forgotten home, the river, modernity—there's just this noiseless canyon, the cliff paramecium's vague squiggling metaphor. The rock shelter is ruggedly comfortable, good for living under, but it's so hot and dry up here, almost metaphysically hot and dry……we're estranged from our lifeblood—the river! We trek back in a dusty, cactus-pricked heat-malaise and collapse, leap, hurl ourselves back into the Devils, gulping down freshwater, drinking through every pore. Desert life changes color. Goodness, catharsis, the baptismal rite; soothing coarse obscurity—
"Here are your waters and your watering place.
Drink and be whole again beyond confusion."

Starburst has been busy with it's new releases as of late, hasn't it? I spied these on the shelves about the same time as I saw the new Sour & Sweet roll, and, in my typical Candy Enthusiast fashion, I had to try them. As I express before, I'm not too keen on sour candies, but I enjoyed the regular Gummi Bursts so much, I was actually eager to give these a try.
The sour variety have the same sort of eye-catching packaging as the original. This time with a nice spring green background showcasing the nice reds, oranges, and greens of the candies inside. They stand out nicely amongst all the other sweets in the store, and dare I say, more than the original flavor's package.
Taking out the candies to examine and eat, I notice they do look and feel about the same as the the normal Gummi Bursts, but completely sanded with sugar. The "S" on top is no longer noticeable from this coating, which makes me sad, since I thought it was a nice visual detail. The pieces are squishy to the touch. Once in my mouth, the pieces are nice and gummi with the liquid center feeling slick and cool. Still didn't get a "burst" with these, but that's ok, it's still a catchy name.
Green Apple: A medium sourness with nice fruity notes. It reads nicely as green apple, and not fake "Jolly Rancher" apple. I like it. The sour flavor wear offs with the sugar coating, and the chew then becomes lightly sweet and smooth.
Strawberry (red): I thought this one would be watermelon, but I was mistaken. The color threw me off! This is juicy, perfumey, and very "red licorice" in flavor. It tastes like a mix of the regular cherry and strawberry Starburst chews. The sourness isn't too harsh, which is nice since no one likes sour strawberries. Right?
Watermelon (red orange): A nice floral, more berry-like flavor which is "red" and sweet. I ate this and felt confused, since I was pretty sure the last flavor was strawberry, yet this tastes more of berry than melon. Hrmmm.
Tangerine (orange): Oh yum! This is punchy, zesty, citrusy and captures that authentic tangerine tang. The sour really adds to it and it makes the flavor so realistic. The best of the bunch. Sadly, I only go tone of these in my whole bag. Why does this happen all the time? FAIL.
I liked these, though they aren't going to knock the regular chews out of my top pick. Still, if I felt the need to eat something sour, I'd certainly choose these over the new Sour & Sweet mix. The flavors are so much better.

If you see an a fire then it is a red alert. In a red alert you do not extinguish the fire yourself. You just run away, let some fireman professional guy deal with the danger.
You get my comparison? We are comparing this to advertising threads.
If some guy, called free_tampons makes an account here and posts a thread about menstruation, I advise you not to reply. Just leave the guy. He is a robot, and he doesn't do anyone any harm. He just makes threads. wow. I delete those threads.
Under these circumstances, I officially declare this a rule. If anybody responds to a blatant spam thread, you shall be banished. Do not do this guys this is fucking serious!!!
Pissing people off is the purpose of bots, right under advertisement. It is ridicolous for you to respond. Don't be an ignorant fool!!!

ESPN's Power Rankings. Men's Health's Metrogrades. Forbes' Most Miserable Cities. As media, we love rankings — because as readers, we love rankings, a piece of solid footing in an otherwise shaky world.
Yes, there is something incredibly satisfying about knowing the Worldwide Leader in Sports believes the Indians are the third most powerful team in the major leagues (even though they were one slot better the week before, then proceeded to lose five of their next six).
Or that our town is among America's top fun cities (No. 23), according to Portfolio.com, thanks to our plethora of low-impact sports (golf, bowling and boating); food and dining options; and ski slopes, rec centers and fitness facilities. (Just imagine how well we'll finish once the casino opens, as we currently come up snake eyes for gambling.)
It is even oddly fulfilling to realize that Cleveland is among the worst places in the country to be a man (No. 89 of 100), according to Men's Health. Such white-gloved slaps in the face of our reputation make us heartier, more able to overcome in our everyday struggles — which include the endless online lists by Forbes.com.
If those troubles aren't enough, Men's Health points out that we have other, more pressing problems: dead last in median household income, next to last in number of bachelor's degrees, bottom five for housing appreciation and number of fitness centers (even though Portfolio.com said we did well in that area, but whatever). At least we rate in the top 15 in cost of living, availability of single women (but does that make it worse to be a woman in Cleveland?), air quality (although the American Lung Association may have something to say about that), and doctors (because it appears we need lots of them).
Portfolio.com would also like to remind us that this is a bad place to be young (ahead of only Detroit for best labor markets for young adults), or run a small business (No. 94 of 100, with Detroit last again), or use our brains (No. 99 of 200).
So, here's my advice as you read this month's "How We Rate" and ponder your place in the world: Sometimes how we rate depends on who you ask, so have some fun with it, whether you're a man, single woman, young person, magazine editor ... or resident of Detroit.

I always wanted to be a person who could quote poetry, gracefully and without pretension. I imagined myself dropping a lapidary line or two into dinner-party conversation and toasting brides eloquently without resorting to the Internet.
I liked the idea of stocking my mind with supplies of beauty. But when I was growing up in the '70s, schools didn't emphasize rote memorization, and especially not recitation of poetry; like penmanship, it was a fading art.
I had a scrap or two of Shakespeare and a Blake poem that one beloved teacher had prompted me to learn, but I didn't break them out at dinner parties. I just soothed myself with them when I was having trouble falling asleep or needed something for my mind to chew over that it hadn't already mauled.
So I picked a new poem to memorize. How hard would that be in middle age, I wondered? I settled on a short Edna St. Vincent Millay poem with a repeated couplet: "We were very tired, we were very merry, / We had gone back and forth all night on the ferry." I was especially drawn to the poem's bright, concrete images (apples and pears, ferry whistles and morning newspapers) and to the sense the verses conveyed of being young and full of sweet, reckless life. It was only later that I realized the poem had the perfect title, given my project: "Recuerdo" (Spanish for "I remember").
To my delight, it wasn't hard! I read "Recuerdo" aloud a couple of times, spent about a half hour focusing on two lines at a time, then had my kids test me three times.
Unlike song lyrics, which I regularly mangle, the poem has stayed in my mind, as have others I've memorized since, simply because I'd set myself the task instead of imagining the words would effortlessly float into my brain and settle there.
Now I'm thinking of having a dinner party where I ask all the guests to recite a poem they've learned, as the lovely phrase has it, by heart.

Even though I am a barefoot or flip-flops kind of gal, I am also a "freezing all the time!' kind of girl, so Winter means socks. The snazzy folks at the website Socks 4 Life recently let me pick out some socks to review, and I had so much fun picking them out! I'm definitely not into boring socks, and they have some great choices if you like fun, colorful designs! (Okay, they also have plenty if you're into boring socks, too!) I am super jealous that those reindeer socks above weren't available yet when I ordered, by the way! I'd be wearing them to get in the Christmas spirit! In addition to novelty socks like these, they also carry leg warmers and slouch socks for when you're in an 80s fashion mood, dress socks, work socks, and just about every length of sock you can imagine.
The first pair I got were these Julietta Bright White Argyle Knee Socks in Pink and Purple.
It's hard to go wrong with argyle socks, and these are the perfect length to wear with Fall/Winter boots!
Fact of life: It is kind of impossible not to look a little awkward in a sock photo.
These are made to fit women who wear shoe sizes 5-10, and sell for $3.95. They are made in China of 75% acrylic, 15% nylon and 10% spandex, and can be machine washed and tumble dried. They're nice and lightweight, so they aren't going to make your feet sweat like crazy under your boots! These might not work if you have large calves- mine are fairly average at 16" around the thickest part, and the top of the socks are a little tight. I'd suggest measuring your calves before ordering the knee-high style if you're worried about fit, since Socks 4 Life only refunds up to 50% of the purchase price if you return socks that have been opened and worn. I'd rate the craftsmanship on these a nice solid B; they're pretty well made, but there were a few loose threads and imperfections here and there.
The next pair I tried were the Yelete Bright Argyle Knee Socks in Blue/Grey.
I *almost* got the black and green ones (to the far right of the pic above), but this color combo won out at the last second. These are also made in China, from 95% polyester and 5% elastane, fit shoe sizes 5-10 and can be machine washed and tumble dried. One thing I like about the design of this pair is that everything from the ankle down is solid grey, so they aren't going to show dirt as much.
These seem to be a little better sewn than the first pair- there aren't any loose threads hanging off, and fewer imperfections, I'd give them an A-. These are a little bit tighter in the calf than the first pair, and the design ends up giving my calves a slightly unflattering lumpy look. They are pretty comfortable though- a tiny bit thicker than the first pair, but about on par with your average dress sock.
Next up are these Women's Vintage Tube Knee Socks. These are so cute and such a bargain at $2.95 that I got both the black with lime green and aqua blue stripes, and the white with pink and blue stripes!
These too are machine washable, made in China and are made of 85% acrylic, 10% nylon, 5% spandex. They're basically a girly, trendier version of those tube socks your dad used to wear.
I was impressed that these are long enough to really be over-the-knee on me, since I'm 5'11", so it's rare anything is long enough on me! Thanks to the super-stretchy fabric, these may be a better choice if you have larger calves. I'm giving these an B+, since one black sock had a couple of tiny holes and they looked a little stretched out of shape after the first time I tried them on.
I can't explain it, but I had to have the Yelete Polka Dot Knee Socks because they remind me of Beaches and Cream at the Beach Club Resort back at Disney.
I ordered the green, and they're so fun! I haven't figured out what to pair them with yet, but I'm sure I'll come up with something. The actual color is a little more lime green than the photo on the site makes it look (it looks more pastel in the photo, I think.)
The craftsmanship on these is nice, but the way the dots are integrated makes them look a little odd once they're on. It gives my calves a sort of lumpy appearance if you look too closely.
You wouldn't notice this from a distance, but up close it's obvious there's a little distortion in the pattern. A- for these, since everything else is good!
The last pair I got was these Wild Thing Crew Socks in Grey/Pink/Black Leopard. I actually picked out a different design from the Wild Thing line (a cute reptile pattern that's no longer pictured on the site) , but it was out of stock and they sent me these instead. This was after about 2 months of talking back and forth with tech support about technical difficulties trying to get my gift code to work, so I'm glad they finally got everything shipped, but if the ones I wanted were out of stock, I wish they'd given me the option to pick something else instead of just picking for me. So with that said, this isn't a design I would have picked out for myself, I may toss them in with the items I'm collecting for a giveaway when I reach 200 followers!
Socks4Life is going to give one of my readers a $25 gift certificate to pick out whatever you'd like from the site! Just use the Rafflecopter form below to enter! If you have any questions about or errors with the form, just leave a comment or e-mail me to let me know! This giveaway is open to US residents, and will run until 11:59 PM Central time on Dec 22, 2011. Good luck & happy entering!
I was provided with sample products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Have you ever run into any other Cyclone Fanatics "in the wild," either on accident or on purpose? Who are they?
I've had a couple in just the last week or two. I ran into our very own Clones85 yesterday. I also saw someone with the license plate "Cy Hard" helping a nice lady by giving her a ride at a gas station here in Ames last week or so, I'm assuming it's CyHard from here (but it might not be).
I've run into many others over the years, probably too numerous to count. Who are yours?

I'm not sure how I would know they are a CFer, but maybe?
edit: I've seen Clones21 at Hilton before, but only because a CFer I know IRL pointed him out.

I ran into Bret44 while tailgating before the Kansas game...Rulzzz was gracious enough to give me a ticket for the December 31st basketball game.
Not a whole lot of CFer's in my neck of the woods (except Clark)...and I'd be getting some weird looks if I asked every single person down here with Iowa gear on if they're Clark on CF.
I think I've seen Tailg8er at Keg Stand before. Huge doucher.

Not sure it counts but I ran into CW outside of Trice just walking along.... 100% sure he and everyone around him thought I was crazy for yelling about how much I love CF.
I've seen a few license plates. I see a 3TruFns license plate with a woman in it a couple times a week but I'm not sure if that's our 3TruFans because I've always pictured him as a him.

*Fitzy not included
Waaaaaay back in the early days of CF, we had a game watch down in Des Moines. I met several there. I have some who I have worked with, some friends. There are others who I have met since first encountering them on here. I honestly don't think I could do a list without forgetting someone!

If this toolbag saw me at KS it was from a creeperish distance, cause he never said hi. I have tore stuff up on Xbox with him & Dandy in the past.
Otherwise I've seen plenty at the recruiting parties & the Kansas football trip a couple years ago, but haven't really met many.

Bret's T and A?
I met WalkingCy tailgating once. Biggest ***** I have ever met.
I bought a ticket to the KU bball game last year from wonkadog. A very nice fellow. At that game I saw Rulzzz, or I assume it was him, he was wearing a jersey that had 'RULZZZ' on the back...
That's about it though. A co-worker of mine reads CF religiously, but I don't know if he posts or not.
I saw a guy wearing a CF shirt at the Urbandale blood donation center yesterday so I'm guessing that's someone from here, but he was watching a movie with his headphones on so I didn't want to disturb him to introduce myself.
Saw Rulzzz outside of the Sprint center after we beat Baylor in KC. To intoxicated and excited and wet from the rain to stop and say hey so I just kept screaming and running.

Two weeks, 19 categories, thousands of votes, and a season-filled-with-blockbusters-later, we're finally able to declare this summer's biggest winners – and losers.
After tallying the votes for the 2013 Moviefone Golden Fonees, "Iron Man 3" came out on top as the summer's biggest, most "Badass Blockbuster," and its star, Robert Downey Jr., the "Hottest Male Star." Melissa McCarthy continues her reign as the funniest woman in Hollywood, as her role in "The Heat" won her the title "Hottest Female Star of Summer." And Joss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing" must have had plenty going on, because you honored it with "The 'Little Movie That Could' Award."
If you've started to wonder, 'Well, what about the season's worst?,' the Fonees have you covered: we celebrate the bad as much as the good.
The entire cast of "Scary Movie V" bugged you so much that they collectively earned the not-so-coveted title of "Most Annoying Character From a Summer Movie." The special effects in "White House Down" got under your skin and nabbed the award for "Most Blatant Abuse of Special Effects," and "The Lone Ranger" -- in all its big-budget Western glory -- was your clear choice for "Biggest Disappointment of Summer."
Thanks for all of your votes, and check out the full list of winners here.
We've got the winners — and losers! — from the 2013 @moviefone Golden Fonees: http://t.co/caNKKQdoK4- AOL PR (@AOLPR) September 5, 2013

Quinnipiac Holds Off Women's Hockey Charge, Opens Weekend With 3-2 Win
Despite a spirited comeback effort, the Princeton women's hockey team dropped a 3-2 decision Friday afternoon in ECAC competition.
The loss drops Princeton to 5-8-2 overall, as well as 2-7-2 in league play. Quinnipiac, which entered the day fourth in the ECAC, improved to 7-3-1 in league competition.
After an early second-period goal left the Tigers in a 3-0 hole, Princeton worked itself back in the game with two goals less than four minutes apart. Senior Kelly Cooke became the first Tiger with double-digit goals late in the second, while Brianna Leahy scored from her knees early in the third to make it a one-goal game.
Unfortunately, several late Princeton charges would be turned away, and Quinnipiac started on the positive end of a home-and-home. The two teams will meet again Saturday at 4 at Quinnipiac.
Quinnipiac opened the scoring just over two minutes into the opening period, as Brittany Lyons fired a centering pass from Erica Uden-Johansson past the right side of Kimberly Newell for a quick 1-0 lead.
Princeton settled after the quick strike, but Quinnipiac struck again midway through the period when Nicole Connery rebounded a shot by Amanda Colin for a 2-0 lead.
The Tigers kept Quinnipiac off the board for the rest of the period, but the Bobcats wasted little time opening the lead in the second. After controlling the opening faceoff, Kelly Bobstock took a pass from Regan Boulton and scored 14 seconds into the middle period.
Princeton worked hard to contain the Quinnipiac offense, and it started to create its most sustained play late in the period. The work was rewarded when Kelly Cooke scored from in front of Victoria Vigilanti off assists from Gabie Figueroa and Corey Stearns.
The Tigers got their second goal when Leahy put back in a rebound from the right side of the goal following a shot by Sally Butler. That goal excited both the team and its home crowd, but the Bobcats' defense tightened from there and held off an empty-net charge in the final minutes.

Spending for military retirement pay and survivors' annuities will rise by more than 30 percent over the next decade, CBO projects. About two-thirds of that growth will occur because those benefits are adjusted annually for inflation. The remaining growth will stem from increases in the initial benefit for new retirees; that benefit depends on service members' basic pay during their active service, which typically grows faster than inflation. In contrast, CBO projects that the number of military retirees and their survivors will remain essentially unchanged in the coming decade, so the number of people collecting benefits will not contribute to the growth of spending. (Annual spending amounts shown here have been adjusted to account for shifts in the timing of payments.)
For more detail on CBO's most recent projections for the Military Retirement Trust Fund, see Military Retirement—February 2013 Baseline.

UK guitarist Ronny Jordan has passed away at the age of 51. The acid jazz pioneer helped lead the way in blending R&B, hip hop, and jazz, cementing his influence on music history. He received a Grammy nomination for his 2000 release, A Brighter Day.
After the jump, watch two clips of "The Jackal," a popular song Ronny did in collaboration with Dana Bryant (a former Giant Step artist). The first clip is the music video for the track, while the second one shows the track featured front and center in a lip sync on the beloved TV series West Wing.

ZF-6393: Wrong AMF0_AMF3 reference counting
If there is more than one body part in a mixed AMF0/AMF3 message, and there are complex parameters (Anonymous and Typed objects) used, The requests will fail. The reason is, that the AMF3 protocol restarts reference counting when it switches from AMF0 to AMF3 mode, but the current AMF0 deserializer reuses the last used AMF3 deserializer, and therefore doesn't restart reference counting.
This bug is also the reason for bug ZF-5049/5382
I attached a patch which fixes the problem.
Regards Stefan
Great Work Stefan! All our problem are blowing away! Now it runs fine!
Patch has been added to the standard trunk and will be updated with the next mini release of ZF
