Oscar-winning Director/Actor Clint Eastwood Speaks at RNC
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) _ Clint Eastwood whipped up the crowd at the Republican National Convention ahead of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's acceptance speech.
The iconic star of ``Dirty Harry'' and the Oscar-winning director of ``Unforgiven'' and ``Million Dollar Baby,'' Eastwood criticized President Barack Obama for failing to turn the economy around and for wanting to close the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects.
Eastwood says Obama has failed to deliver on his promises and it's time for Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, to take over.
He entertained the audience with a mock interview with Obama, posing questions and pretending that Obama had told Eastwood to shut up.
Eastwood endorsed Romney earlier this month at a campaign event in Sun Valley, Idaho.

The only safe sex is no sex, according to most healthcare providers. Abstinence may be the only true form of "safe" sex, as all forms of sexual contact carry some risk. However, certain precautions and safe behaviors can minimize a person's risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. As a parent, you can teach your child about safer sex before he/she becomes sexually active.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that parents start talking to children about sex when they first ask where babies come from, usually between the ages of 3 and 4. Although many adolescents may say they know everything about sex, studies have found that many adolescents are incompletely informed about sex and sexually transmitted diseases.
As a parent, you are the best source of accurate information for your adolescent. However, many parents are unsure how to begin talking about safe sex with their adolescents. The following are some tips on how to approach the topic of safe sex with your adolescent:
Other people who can help talk to your adolescent about sex may include your adolescent's physician, a relative, or a religious counselor. Books on the topic may also be helpful in addressing uncomfortable questions.
Limit your sexual activity to only one partner who is having sex only with you to reduce exposure to disease-causing organisms. Follow these guidelines, which may provide for safer sex:

Big Picture: The state of automation
Conveyor and sortation systems are using software and controls to manage the flow of goods while distributing work in a way that eliminates bottlenecks.
May 01, 2012 - MMH Editorial
Dematic: Smaller and more frequent deliveries
Mike Khodl, vice president for solution development for Dematic North America, sees a market in which automation with a higher level of complexity as a normal part of the solution is increasing compared to where we were as recently as two to three years ago.
Like his competitors, Khodl attributes the interest in robotics, mini-load automated storage and retrieval systems and shuttles to the explosive demand for piece picking. And while e-commerce is a major character in that story, so is the demand for smaller and more frequent deliveries to store fronts, especially in urban areas. "If a store is getting a pallet, it's a mixed pallet. Instead of a case, it's getting a tote with eaches. And they're loading the trailer in the reverse order of the stops so they can sequence the deliveries," says Khodl. That, he adds, assumes that a retailer is even sending out a full trailer. Increasingly, retailers are going to smaller trucks and vans because of congestion in urban areas. "All of that requires more touches in the distribution center, which means we have to find new ways to be more efficient to reduce costs," says Khodl.
What will drive automation in the future? Khodl thinks urban congestion will play a major role. "By 2020, there will be 20 mega cities on the planet with 20 million people," he says. "If Los Angeles, Cairo, New York, London, Frankfurt, Dubai and Shanghai are all mega cities, how are we doing to do distribution into those cities?"
The answer, he adds, is that distribution will have to be space-saving, efficient and use as little labor as possible. "We'll have to put facilities near these cities, which means that land and labor is going to be expensive," Khodl says. "And, in an e-commerce world, that's going to mean more piece-picking solutions. I really think we're just seeing the tip of that iceberg."

Cpl. Andy Lazzaro was given a 45-day suspended sentence, 24 hours of community service, a $100 fine and a year of unsupervised probation.
Prosecutors said Lazzaro got drunk during the raucous sting aimed at uncovering a prostitution ring in the online escort business.
Turtle hospital moves to new homeSurf City | Excitement was palpable last week as volunteers moved recovering sea turtles into the new 13,600-square-foot Surf City home of the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center. .
The new facility caps 17 years of planning and fundraising. The $2 million building, funded entirely by private donations, is an enormous upgrade for hospital staffers, who since 1996 have worked out of a one-room, 850-square-foot facility in Topsail Beach.
Seeking answers to gang violenceWilmington | About 150 people gathered last week in Wilmington City Hall to figure out how to root out the systemic causes of the city's gang violence.
During the forum, community members discussed core issues such as family, education, economics and health and human services. A plan of action will be mapped out at additional meetings.
Prepare to pay if you pass stopped busRaleigh | It is estimated that anywhere between 2,000 and 3,500 drivers violate North Carolina's school bus stop-arm law each day, and penalties are about to get tougher for those who are caught. Signed by Gov. Pat McCrory in late July, House Bill 428, effective Dec. 1, establishes a new monetary fine for those who fail to stop. It sets the minimum fine for passing a stopped school bus at $500.
Banning trans fats could be good, badSoutheastern N.C. | Federal Food and Drug Administration officials have suggested a future ban on trans fats could be executed in a way that wouldn't disrupt markets, but some local business owners said that's pie-in-the-sky thinking. They said a complete ban could lead to other production costs, including extensive labeling, and force the elimination of certain products. But while some nutritionists agree that the costs can be prohibitive for producers, their concern is more for the end consumer.

Swiss Re
- Name
- Swiss Re
- No. of employees
- 10,360 (2010)
- Revenue
- CHF23.4 billion (2010)
The Swiss Re Group is a leading wholesale provider of reinsurance, insurance and other insurance-based forms of risk transfer. Dealing direct and working through brokers, its global client base consists of insurance companies, mid-to-large-sized corporations and public sector clients. Founded in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1863, Swiss Re serves clients through a network of 56 global offices and manages over $140 billion worth of assets.
Analysis shows that the damage from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, droughts and other natural disasters will continue to rise. As a result, governments will face increasing costs for disaster relief and recovery. Swiss Re's innovative financial products can help public and private organizations manage the risks, be they ageing populations or earthquakes.
The company first identified climate change as a major trend 20 years ago. Since then, it has been developing innovative solutions to help its clients evaluate long-term exposure to climate change risks and help them identify opportunities to minimize these risks.
Because many of its biggest corporate clients also have a global presence, Swiss Re is the only reinsurer that builds its teams globally by client rather than by discipline. This helps it align its services to the needs of its clients and retain a global perspective on complex interconnected risks.
Swiss Re Private Equity Partners AG – a subsidiary of Swiss Re – is responsible for managing over $7.5 billion private investments in public and private equity, infrastructure, sustainability and real estate.
The company also founded and supports the Swiss Climate Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps small and medium-sized businesses in Switzerland realize green initiatives. The Foundation has a number of ongoing projects and goals, and enables companies to offset their carbon emissions by giving donations.
Current Activities
In a seminal study on the Economics of Climate Adaptation (ECA), Swiss Re and other leading organizations developed a methodology to analyze local climate risks and provide decision-makers with the necessary facts to design a cost-effective climate adaptation and mitigation strategy.
Swiss Re is also monitoring the risks and insurance requirements of clean technology such as smart grids and renewable energy, as these technologies develop.
Sustainable finance
The company has a well-established framework for evaluating environmental, social and ethical risks posed by a particular client project, and to identify when such a project may violate Swiss Re's Code of Conduct. In such a case, it would attempt to negotiate the terms of the project, and if necessary abstain from the work.
Carbon neutrality and emission reduction
In 2003, Swiss Re launched its Greenhouse Neutral Programme, aiming to reduce emissions by 15% per employee by 2013 and to offset remaining emissions by purchasing high-quality carbon credits. It achieved this goal in 2007, six years early. By 2010, it had achieved a total reduction of over 50%.
These reductions have been achieved principally by doing three things: improving energy efficiency, buying electricity from renewable suppliers and minimizing business travel. The company has pledged to maintain its low emission levels under post-crisis conditions.
The company's COyou2 Reduce and Gain subsidy program helps employees reduce domestic carbon emissions. Between 2007 and 2010, it had granted subsidies to nearly 3,000 employees for applications such as hybrid cars, groundwater heat pumps and solar collectors.
For the third year running, Swiss Re was top of the insurance division of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index in 2010. It is also a signatory of the UN Global Compact, and as such implements its ten principles and regularly communicates its progress.

ZF-9117: Missing reference to APPLICATION_ENV in quickstart tutorial
Page: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
This page ends with the sentence "Be sure to run the script for the environment you choose for your application when deploying."
However, there was no previous instruction to choose an environment. There is no mention of the APPLICATION_ENV constant, nor the fact that it corresponds to the sections in application.ini.
The quickstart application (ZendFrameworkQuickstart-20100203) contains the development database (.../data/db/guestbook-dev.db), but does not contain the production database (.../data/db/guestbook.db)
This means that unless you know that you have to set an undocumented constant to an undocumented value, you will run as the "production" environment. This will fail, as no production database is present.
1) The documentation should explain the purpose of APPLICATION_ENV, and describe where it should be set.
2) The quickstart application should contain sqlite databases for all the application environments defined in application.ini
Added instructions on setting up an Apache vhost (in trunk and 1.10 release branch); also updated the quickstart download files to include each of production, testing, and development sqlite database files. These changes will post on the site with 1.10.1.

Panama: 5 new or free offerings, as Canal expands
Panama is emerging as a top travel destination, thanks in part to the ongoing $5 billion expansion of its famous Canal.
Here are five developments in the Central American nation:
Holiday Inn Express hotel planned: InterContinental Hotels Group signed a franchise agreement for a new-build Holiday Inn Express hotel in Panama City, the country's capital. It will have 198 rooms on 12 floors and is set to open in summer 2012.
The new hotel will be owned and managed by a unit of El Salvador's business group Agrisal, which has seven InterContinental properties open or under development in the Central American region.
It will be located in Panama City's business and financial district known as 'Calle 50.' The area is home to international banks and multinational companies, some with Latin American headquarters there.
For more on Holiday Inn Express hotels, call 1-800-HOLIDAY or visit www.hiexpress.com/.
Country's first Westin beach resort to open: Westin resorts will open their first resort in Panama in October: The Westin Playa Bonita Panamá, a $100 million beach hotel that touts the largest meeting and banquet space in the country.
The 611-room resort features seven restaurants, four bars and 65,000 square feet of meeting space. Rooms offer such amenities as LCD TV, high-speed Internet access and an ergonomic workspace. The hotel also offers an open-air lounge on the 19th floor, a gym, three freshwater infinity-edge pools, children's pool and children's club.
For more information on the hotel, click here or call 1-877-800-1690.
Free stopovers on Copa Airlines: Panama's Copa Airlines now offers tourists "stop-over" incentives. Copa passengers en route elsewhere pay no extra charge on their airline ticket if they stop over in Panama, and they also are eligible for discounts on hotels and activities.
New international flights: Airlines serving Panama are adding service to Toronto, Canada; Porto Alegre, Brazil; and Nassau, Bahamas.
Free health insurance for tourists: Since January, Panama offers free health insurance for tourists, in case of emergency. The policy is offered for tourists entering through Tocumen International Airport and covers the first 30 days of stay. It cover such incidents as theft of documents, accidental injury or accidental death. It does does not cover incidents caused by negligence, such as those related to alcohol or drugs, or those caused by extreme sports.

Just like the incremental growth of credit cards, which credit reporting agencies began locally and expanded over time. The process of keeping tabs on consumer spending habits started small and grew into the organized, efficient and massive system of credit reporting familiar to people today.
Credit reports started inefficiently
Credit reporting in the good old days wasn't nearly as good as it is today.
According to Maxine Sweet, vice president of public education at Experian, originally five big credit reporting agencies existed, along with many mom and pop credit bureaus sprinkled liberally throughout the country. Over time, the field narrowed to the three big credit reporting agencies now dominating the field: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.
Data collection and storage differed greatly from the system used today. Credit reporting began manually, with someone going from merchant to merchant collecting reports on how customers paid their bills.
"Credit reporting today isn't perfect by any means, but you don't want to go backwards, trust me," says Sweet.
"It used to be that a credit reporting agent would call a merchant and say, 'Well what do you think of that Raymond Hindley?' And the merchant would say, 'Well, you know he pays pretty good -- but he beats his wife.' Or, 'he drinks' -- you could get a lot of personal information mixed in there," she says.
Also very different from today: Viewing your credit reports and disputing information entailed a lot of work for consumers.
"Back then when consumers did want to see their files, they would try to make an appointment to come into a local office and wait in line. It could be very long, you couldn't control if 20 people showed up at one time or if one person showed up," says Sweet.
"The other thing that is different -- when everything was first computerized, the computers could not handle the volume of data for the full nation of people. So if you moved from one region to another, your credit report did not move with you. If you moved from Texas to California, you would have to start over building credit," she says.
By 1970, when the Fair Credit Reporting Act was passed, the process had been streamlined and more consumer-friendly regulations were in place. It formalized what information the credit bureaus can report and for how long, as well as how to correct errors. It also required the bureaus to provide reports at the request of consumers.
Consumers got another boost in 2003 with the passage of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, which provided that every consumer could get a free copy of their credit report annually from each of the three bureaus.

One of the bigger names on the upcoming music calendar descends upon Salt Lake City this weekend, and there's lot of other tangible more affordable options out there as well.
The big event is Lady Gaga hitting EnergySolutions Arena for a Saturday night peek into the ongoing phenomenon that is Gaga's fame. One question about Gaga is whether she's here to stay. While it's easy to dismiss her as the next Madonna - as if that wouldn't be a major accomplishment - I'm curious if she will have the same staying power. It's hard to believe but Madonna burst onto the scene nearly 30 years ago. Now if the 24-year-old Gaga lasts even half that long, she'll exceed any reasonable expectation for success in this zero-attention span era of pop music.
One key to how Gaga's going to fare may be the relevance and entertainment value in her live show. So in addition to singing along with such hits as "Bad Romance" or "Poker Face," and hopefully getting a sneak peak of songs from the upcoming "Born This Way" release, fans can bask in the spectacle of it all - and ask themselves if they'll go see her again. And here's betting that many of the thousands of teens who come to see Gaga will be floored by the openers, Scissor Sisters. Also, despite having been available since last spring, tickets remain on sale and start at $49. Here's Lady Gaga singing "Born This Way."
OK, now on to the music performers coming to town who have never worn a meat dress, of which there's plenty:
Thursday night at The Urban Lounge, you can celebrate St. Patrick's Day with plenty of Jerry Garcia music, courtesy of JGB, the band fronted by Garcia's old keyboard player, Melvin Seals. Melvin and company will play songs from the late Grateful Dead bandleader's side project, the Jerry Garcia Band. Dead tunes will be few, but plenty of R&B, Dylan and Beatles covers should be on tap as hippie dancers invade hipster territory.

Hagar's memoir offers sad insight into Van Halen reality
Sammy Hagar's book "Red: My Uncensored Life in Rock" - which comes out later this month - is apparently quite the tell-all. Normally, I wouldn't care. Outside of the lone tolerable record he made with Van Halen, '5150,' Hagar's music has little appeal to me. Admittedly, I only tried a few of the solo records from the '80s and time changes things, but I've never felt compelled to revisit his catalog. Regardless, I may have to hold my nose and buy this book. Why? Because although the release purports to be his memoir, the newsy parts of the book appear to focus on Sammy's take on Eddie Van Halen, whom I'd love to see write his own memoir, but I'm not holding my breath. In an excerpt from Rolling Stone Magazine that you can see online, Sammy provides a harrowing take on the guitar hero's lifestyle. It depicts Eddie as a bottle-smashing alcoholic with wine-blackened teeth submitting to having pieces of his tongue sliced off for a cancer treatment - and he blames his contraction of the disease on putting his guitar pick in his mouth while he fingerpicked. Yikes! Call it generational, but for some reason - maybe because I was an adolescent American male in the mid '80s - I've been a fan of Eddie's from the moment I became aware of his existence. Which I date to sometime around Dec. 31, 1983. Why yes, that was the date of MTV's world premiere of the "Jump" video. While that $600 video constituted no one's finest hour, it was enough for me ... And a few months later after I'd become the proud owner of Van Halen I and Van Halen II - which both remain something beyond essential rock guitar listening - and it was all over. Eddie's playing had it all - charm, humor, technique and it seemed effortless. Watching videos of EVH playing guitar was like watching Jordan play basketball. It just seemed too easy. Or as Living Colour's Vernon Reid once said of Eddie: "He plays guitar like the rest of us breathe." Less than a year later, I had became one of thousands of fashion-challenged kids circa '85 who would wear their "No Bozos" T-shirts to their guitar lessons. Eddie had made the shirts famous while appearing in rock magazine ads for Ernie Ball guitar strings. They'd suddenly appeared in the mall a short time after. And if Eddie's guitar playing wasn't enough, he also could play while hanging from a rope, as demonstrated during the "Panama" video, and was married to "One Day At A Time" star, Valerie Bertinelli. For a teenage boy, this was about as impressive a resume as it seemed possible to develop. It's mildly embarrassing to remember all this now, - a lot of people see Van Halen as nothing more than another collection of thud-rock hair farmers, not hardly. And seeing how depressingly low EVH appears to have fallen - to date, no one from Van Halen's camp has denied it - is something beyond sad. Not only because of what it means on a human level, - Eddie has a 19-year-old son and is 56 himself, seemingly with years left in a viable career - if he wants them - but it's a sad, sobering reminder that there's far more to life than playing fast guitar solos and wedding TV stars. And for years, Eddie had lived inside a timeless chamber of musical greatness and carefree living. All you had to do was crank up "Mean Streets" from the band's "Fair Warning," and a part of you feels 15 again. After this revelation, thinking about Van Halen just won't be the same. On a brighter note, in October 2007 a friend of mine ended up working the 'follow spot' on Eddie's brother, Alex Van Halen, during the band's reunion tour with David Lee Roth during their stop in Kansas City, Mo. In the lighting world that rates as a pretty easy gig, as drummers tend to remain seated. So my guy - he's the same age as me and a guitarist of some note - was perched about 50 feet above the stage all night. In talking a few weeks later, I asked him - of course - about Eddie's guitar playing. His reply 'He's the same. It still just flows out of him.' I asked him if Eddie had lost anything from his dizzying chops. My buddy said it sounded perfect to him. So, let's hope that the next time Eddie's in the news, he's doing so - as he has for years - for his music, and not in his personal life. Read More

We'd like to congratulate the amazing duo of Bonnie Nish and Sita Carboni on behalf of Pandora's Collective, this year's winners of the Griffin Award. SiWC founder Ed Griffin himself presented the award to Bonnie and Sita...and here's what he said (in part):
Promoting the Arts That Inspire the World to Take Notice of Itself
Pandora's Collective promotes the arts through the usual kind of things, poetry readings, scholarships, arts festivals and poetry contests. But this group goes one step beyond the usual. They encourage the arts with adults going through drug and alcohol rehabilitation, with children and teens at Inner City Schools and with youth in crisis.
Pandora was a Greek goddess who visited earth and opened the box she'd been entrusted with, thereby releasing unforeseen troubles on the earth. But one gift remained in her box—the gift of hope. And because Pandora's Collective gives people the gift of hope, the Surrey International Writers Conference is giving her this award today.
If you'd like to find out more about this amazing group, check out their website: Pandora's Collective .
Congratulations Pandora's Collective!

congratualtions bonnie and sita
I am very pleased to see Pandora's Collective recognized with the Griffin Award. I have been a witness to their continuous dedication, and invitation. Their community embrace is wide, and it is warm and caring. I owe my first tentative steps toward publication to Bonnie's encouragement. I also want to congratulate them on providing venues for young writers as well (of which my daughter is one). Thank you again. This is a well deserved award.

LARAMIE, Wyo. - The Colorado Buffaloes knew their first true road test of the season would be difficult, but they might have made it harder than it had to be.
Committing 17 turnovers while managing just 11 assists and allowing Wyoming's inside game - read: Leonard Washington - to dominate, the No. 19 Buffs were overrun by the Cowboys 76-69 on Saturday night in the boisterous Arena-Auditorium.
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why we lost this game," said CU coach Tad Boyle, citing an assist-to-turnover ratio that continues to disappoint, 14 layups allowed (seven in each half) and his team permitting Wyoming to shoot 52 percent in the second half of a game that the Buffs led by two (28-26) at intermission.
Continued Boyle, who watched his team lose for the first time this season (6-1) and only the second time in its last 13 games: "I'm disappointed in our execution in the second half. We have to get better in a lot of different areas."
The Cowboys' 6-7 Washington scored a team-high 22 points - most of them inside as Wyoming outscored CU 30-24 in the paint. The unbeaten Cowboys (8-0) also turned the Buffs' 17 turnovers, which tied the season high, into 20 points.
Spencer Dinwiddie led the Buffs with 24 points and Andre Roberson added 16 and 12 rebounds - his 28th career double-double. CU's other pair of top scorers - guard Askia Booker and post Josh Scott - accounted for 11 points between them. Booker (16.8 ppg) was held to a season-low six points - a three-pointer in each half, while Scott (14.5 ppg) scored five before fouling out.
Two of Scott's teammates - Roberson and Sabatino Chen - also fouled out. The Buffs were whistled for 27 fouls to the Cowboys' 13, a disparity that Boyle believes worked too much on some of his players' psyches.
"It's going to happen," he said. "We've got to figure out a way to overcome that. They can get frustrated and bitch about it all they want - it doesn't change things. The way you do that is with mental toughness and not let it get in your head, get you out of your game."
Boyle also pointed to a hustle play made by Washington midway through the second half that he believed epitomized the night for the Buffs. It occurred when the Cowboys began pulling away with an 11-3 run. Washington went to floor for a loose ball, corralled it and called time out. Meanwhile, five CU players bent at their waists and poked at the ball.
"He out-scrapped us and got it," Boyle said. "He 'beasted' us last year (16 points in a 64-54 Wyoming win). What you saw with Leonard Washington was a senior who was playing his last time against a team like Colorado that was in the Top 25. He wanted this game . . . he took four or five charges himself. It was in the scouting report."
The Buffs, said Boyle, failed to play hard, smart or together: "We've got guys who have to change their identities from offensive players to defensive players, defensive players to rebounders, screeners, passers - and then let the offense come to you . . . we've got a lot of guys on this team who can put the ball in the basket. Not just Josh, Ski, Spencer, Andre - guys coming off the bench can (score). But our mindset right now is not a collective one, not what it needs to be."
Booker, who was 2-of-13 from the field (one trey in each half), "does not handle adversity well," Boyle said. "He has to get better when his jump shot's not going in and when the officiating isn't bailing him out. That's the bottom line. He knows it, I know it, the assistant coaches know it, his teammates know it. Until he does, he's going to be frustrated on nights like this because people are going to start face-guarding him, bumping him, being physical . . . he's got to figure it out."
The Buffs, as a whole, have until Wednesday night to figure out how to solve the deficiencies Boyle has laid out for them. Archrival Colorado State (6-0) visits the Coors Events Center in the second game of men's/women's doubleheader, and if CU doesn't improve over the next three days, CSU "will obliterate us," Boyle said. "They've got a toughness about them. You talk about rebounding and defending, look at Colorado State. They rebound and defend. They're exactly what we need to be, and that's why they're undefeated right now. We've might have lost a little bit of our hunger now, I don't know. We'll find out Wednesday night."
The 6-10 Scott wouldn't concede that the Buffs have encountered complacency. "We're as hungry as ever," he said. "I know all of us are really competitive, we all want to be the best we can be."
If they weren't at their best in Saturday night's first half, they were close enough to stay competitive. With Wyoming's largest crowd (8,240) in eight seasons watching, the first half might have unfolded just as CU envisioned. The Cowboys aren't interested in getting up and down the court, and they made sure the visitors couldn't. Neither team had a fast-break basket in the opening 20 minutes.
CU did manage a two-point lead in a first half that featured seven ties and eight lead changes, but the Buffs' 28 points was their lowest first-half output of the season. It was an omen, for CU finished shooting 41.4 percent from the field (24-of-58) for their lowest percentage of the season.
The Buffs encountered early foul problems, with Roberson, Xavier Johnson and Scott seeing their minutes limited after picking up two fouls each. Roberson played nine minutes but still had seven first-half points, tying Dinwiddie for the team lead. Scott and Johnson played 10 minutes each.
The Buffs stayed close, even leading on a couple of occasions, in the first 5 minutes of the second half. It didn't help CU when Scott was whistled for his third foul at the 12:45 mark and went to the bench for 4 minutes. Wyoming went up by six (45-39) on an inside basket and free throw by Washington and two free throws by Luke Martinez.
A Dinwiddie trey cut the deficit in half (45-42), but the Cowboys reeled off an 11-3 run and suddenly were up 51-42 with 9:16 remaining. And in this game, at Wyoming's pace, a nine-point lead looked pretty cushy. Boyle called a timeout to settle the Buffs.
CU pulled to within five (55-50), but a Washington desperation three-pointer with the shot clock at one second restored Wyoming's eight-point lead (58-50) at the 5:12 mark.
If the Buffs were going to remain unbeaten, it would be up to their defense. But allowing a full-court pass to Martinez on an out-of-bounds play wasn't the way to finish strong. His layup pushed the Cowboys back up by nine (61-52) with just under 4 minutes remaining - and it was all Wyoming thereafter.
Said Dinwiddie: "We didn't play defense, plain and simple. They buckled down and made plays and we didn't make plays."
Dinwiddie claimed the loud Cowboys crowd didn't disrupt the Buffs: "I don't think so . . . we missed some shots, but I don't think the crowd had much to do with it. The crowd doesn't change the way the opposing team plays defense."
Now comes CSU, which edged CU 65-64 last season in Fort Collins. Dinwiddie said Saturday night's first loss of this season doesn't make the Rams' visit to Boulder any more significant: "It's a big game either way. They're probably going to be Top 25 now, we might or might not still. It's our place, they beat us last year and rushed the court.
"They're our biggest rival. You really can't set the stage any higher than it already was . . . it's still going to be crazy. We want to prove to ourselves more than anything (and) get back to the way we should be playing."

I've a question concerning a weird issue I never ran into before even though I am working with many servers for quite a long time.
So there is the cherokee web server that I compiled and installed with
./configure --prefix=/usr
make install
Before this 'upgrade' I deleted the old version completely (also checked with finding tools) and backed up the existing configuration which I upgraded and copied back to its original folder later.
But the basic problem are two files: cherokee-worker and cherokee-admin. Those files were not copied into /usr/sbin/ correctly. To prove my suspicion I executed some commands:
/home/paul/build/cherokee/cherokee-1.2.1/cherokee/cherokee-worker -i
>> Version: 1.2.1
cp /home/paul/build/cherokee/cherokee-1.2.1/cherokee/cherokee-worker /usr/sbin/cherokee-worker
/usr/sbin/cherokee-worker -i
>> Vesion: 1.0.8
The same issue happens with cherokee-admin. The most weird thing is that if I replace the actual copy of cherokee-worker in /usr/sbin/ with a symbolic link to the working file in /.../build/../cherokee-1.2.1 it works!
rm /usr/sbin/cherokee-worker
ln -s /home/paul/build/cherokee/cherokee-1.2.1/cherokee/cherokee-worker /usr/sbin/cherokee-worker
/usr/sbin/cherokee-worker -i
>> Version: 1.2.1
It seems like a hard copy of cherokee-worker/-admin isn't working properly. But how come?
Do you know what happens? I have absolutely no clue what's going on.
Thanks for your help in advance!

To keep your heart ticking, clock the right number of hours of sleep a night, say University of Warwick scientists. In a recent study of more than 470,000 participants, they found that people who sleep less than six hours per night and experience disturbed sleep have a 48 percent greater chance of developing or dying from heart disease and a 15 percent greater chance of developing or dying of a stroke. Getting more than nine hours per night was also associated with a 38 percent greater risk of heart disease and a 65 percent increased risk of stroke. "Chronic short sleep produces hormones and chemicals in the body which increase the risk of developing heart disease and strokes, and other conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and obesity," says study author Michelle Miller, PhD. Most people need between six and eight hours of sleep a night to protect their health, say researchers.

Men's Volleyball Picks Up Key Road Win, Tops NJIT In 3-2 Thriller
Junior Pat Schwagler recorded 24 kills and six blocks to lead the Princeton men's volleyball team to a thrilling 3-2 road victory at NJIT Friday night in Newark, N.J. Princeton hit .350 for the match and raced out in the fifth set, but the Highlanders battled back to make for a dramatic conclusion.
Princeton put together a 6-0 run early in the fifth set, culminating with a block from Schwagler, to open a 7-2 Tiger lead. The Highlanders would get back into the decisive set with a 4-0 run and closed the score to 9-8, but Princeton continued to side out from that point and eventually grabbed a 14-11 lead on a Schwagler kill and a service error.
NJIT came back with two points to cut the deficit to 14-13, and Princeton head coach Sam Shweisky called timeout to set up a final play. Whether it would have worked will remain unknown, as NJIT's Trevor Kinaman put the next serve into the net to end the match.
The victory moved Princeton to 3-2 overall, 2-1 in the EIVA, and opened a two-match win streak for the Tigers. The Tigers' lone league loss came at George Mason, which is the only unbeaten team in the EIVA following Penn State's 3-0 loss at Harvard Friday night.
"I was really pleased with Pat's offensive performance tonight," Shweisky said. "He and Davis Waddell had a great rhythm, and it was great to see the way he played tonight."
While Schwagler, a former EIVA Offensive Player of the Week, controlled play with his .513 attack percentage, he wasn't the only efficient hitter for the Tigers. Sophomore rightside Cody Kessel had 15 kills and five blocks, while freshman outside Devin Stearns added 12 kills. Sophomore middle Will Siroky added six kills and six blocks, and he matched Michael Dye with a pair of aces.
Serving would not be a strong point for Princeton, though. The Tigers had 26 service errors to go along with their five aces, which played a large role in keeping the match close, despite Princeton's edge in kills (60-52), blocks (13.5-5) and attack percentage (.350-.274).
Junior setter Davis Waddell recorded 55 digs for the Tigers, while sophomore Tony Ensbury added a match-high 13 digs for Princeton. The Tigers will head to NYU to take on the Violets Saturday night.

Follow the money!!
But read the fine print. It's most of the money. And it's in 30 years from now.
I'm not going to sit here and speculate on the reasons mr Ross is making this "generous" offer, but one has to assume that (a) it directly benefits him in some way (like perhaps there's a tax advantage) and (b) it increases the value of the team in the time *he* owns it - it's not possible for him to own the team for 30 years, and he can recoup the amount from the new owner.
So look at the financial arrangement and decide for yourself.

So what if helps him in the long run .....everyone wants to label him as cheap ......but he has shelled out $$ for any big player Miami has wanted ....he is sinkin a boatload of his money into stadium to bring superbowls in .....wich will. Help out area major in financial ways .........people need to open their eyes .
.Ross has grown a lot as an owner since buying the team seems that Wayne made more mess ups than Ross has ....Wayne brought n parcels how did that work out .............the fans down there do nothin but birch n moan ....frst Jeff never gets any big free agents ...then he gets the most explosive reciever available to help tannehill .....still no-one is happy .....a message to all you so called fans who do nothin but birch and moan .....the jets need a new chearleader .........go now ......

Chipley - This week's Golden Apple award winner is a math teacher at Chipley High School. Her students say Millie Kindig is giving them the tools and the confidence they need to pursue careers in the fields of math and science.
Forensic science and pharmacy, just two of the career paths students in Millie Kindig's class hope to pursue after graduation. They recognize the information they are learning under her instruction in geometry and algebra is laying the foundation they need to succeed. "She goes to each student and she refuses to let you fall behind," said 11th grader Jack Daniels.
But it just might be what happens in-between classes that makes the most lasting impression on these students. "A lot of times they are going through things no one knows about and during the five minutes before and the five minutes in-between classes, they will come and just share with me. Just letting them know that someone cares, that truly helps them to be able to reach their goals," said Kindig.
"I think her biggest attribute is her genuine care and concern for the kids, she challenges them and they know she is going to give them everything they need to be successful in their next math class," said Principal Steve Griffin.
"I feel like she not only cares about her students, she has faith in her students. She not only knows we can do it but she believes we can. She is here to make sure her students get what she is trying to teach us and can apply it later in life," said Myiesha Boston, a 10th grader. Congratulations to Millie Kindig this week's Golden Apple award-winning teacher. "Mrs. Kindig is more than just a teacher she is kind of like your best friend," said Daniels.

Last time you waved your arm, did you notice a bit of flesh flapping? Then you're already familiar with how growing older can affect your muscles. "If you're sedentary, you can lose 8 percent of your muscle mass between ages 40 and 50," says Vonda Wright, MD, an orthopedic surgeon in Pittsburgh and the author of Fitness After 40: How to Stay Strong at Any Age. Losing muscle mass doesn't just leave your arm looking flabby; it costs you physical strength. Aging can also contribute to a less visible but quite serious concern—muscle "imbalances" that set you up for pain and injuries. Here's what happens: Over the course of years, your everyday habits (carrying an overstuffed purse on your left shoulder, sitting at your computer for hours at a time, wearing high heels) tighten some muscles and weaken others. And the physical activity that will help prevent and reverse age-related muscle loss may not solve the imbalance issue. "Activities such as walking, biking, swimming, running, doing yoga or lifting weights regularly can overtrain some muscles and ignore others," Wright says.
The problem is that our joints are held in place by opposing muscle groups, such as the chest and back muscles, quads and hamstrings, hip flexors and the gluteus maximus (in the buttocks). To prevent pulls, strains and chronic aches, you need to maintain these muscle groups in a healthy, yin-yang kind of equilibrium. But what you do with your body all day can easily throw everything out of whack. Hunching over your computer, for instance, can tighten your chest muscles and weaken those in your upper back, an imbalance that often leads to neck and back pain—if not now, then probably in your future.
It's relatively easy to develop the correct muscle balance. Use the following tests to identify your weak or tight spots. Then strengthen or lengthen those trouble areas by doing these exercises three or four times a week.
Sore points: groin, butt or back
Possible pain source Tight hip flexors, the muscles at the front of your hips that allow you to lift your knees, bend at the waist, climb stairs and run. When too taut, hip flexors cause your pelvis to tilt forward, which stresses the muscles of the lower back and spine, making you more susceptible to hamstring strains and lower-back pain.
Test yourself Lie on back and bring right knee to chest. Hold on to knee with right hand, keeping left leg as flat on the floor as you can. If left leg doesn't relax against the floor, hip flexors on that side are tight. Switch sides.
Why the imbalance Too much sitting! "Working at a desk all day causes your hip flexors to tighten and your butt muscles to weaken," says Scott Bautch, a chiropractic sports physician in Wausau, Wisconsin. Wearing heels consistently can contribute to the problem, too, he notes.
The fix "During the day, get up and move around at least once every hour to loosen your hip flexors," says Bautch. And do this exercise: Standing with hands on hips, step forward with left foot into a deep lunge, making sure left knee doesn't extend forward beyond left toes. Holding that position with legs, shift hips forward so you can feel the tension in front of right hip. Hold for 30 seconds, then repeat with other leg. Do three more times.
Sore points: shoulders, neck or upper back
Possible pain source Tight rotator muscles in your shoulders.
Test yourself Reach behind head with right hand and try to touch left shoulder blade. Then try to do the same move with left hand on other side. If you can't meet your target, you have tight rotator muscles; they're often less flexible on one side than the other.
Why the imbalance Carry-ing a heavy purse on one side, playing tennis or doing overhead strength-training moves without stretch-ing afterward.

Over 250 fifth grade students from area schools, OJC students, faculty and staff participated in the JeopEARTHy! program hosted by the Otero Junior College STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) grant team on Feb. 6. The program was presented by Danielle Bonnici and Leigh Ann Guthrie from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Participants moved through a wide range of earth science topics in game and activity formats. Games included Energy Plinko and the Wheel of Carbon. These games resulted in topics for questions about energy transfer and the carbon cycle, which the students were challenged to answer.
The room buzzed with excitement during activity-based segments. As "heat" was applied to student "molecules", they demonstrated changes in state of matter by moving from a solid to liquid to gas. Later in the program, students acted out the water cycle by performing evaporation, condensation, precipitation and percolation.
In the final segment, the "Showcase Showdown," students were asked to choose the future Earth "showcase" they wanted to win: a burned-out, dying, hot, dry planet with extinct animals or a lush, green, healthy planet with a wide variety of plant and animal life. Students were then challenged to make simple changes in their daily habits, such as turning off the water while brushing their teeth, to help ensure this healthy future.
Throughout the production, the presenters encouraged the students to think of careers that related to the topics presented.
"Each of our programs is selected to support current Colorado State Standards and is grade level specific based on those standards," said Yolonda Jaramillo, STEM grant activity director. "We are working with a diverse group of presenters throughout the state to give local students unique experiences. Our overall goal is to give students an opportunity to engage in STEM activities and discover the array of careers available."
STEM is partnering with Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Challenger Learning Center and the Space Foundation of Colorado Springs for future presentations as well as offering STEM Camp classes this summer.

History of The Sage Colleges
Russell Sage College was founded in Troy, New York, in 1916 by Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage and named in honor of her late husband, who had left her his considerable fortune. With Eliza Kellas, head of the Emma Willard School, Mrs. Sage was active in the women's suffrage movement; in founding the new College, they proposed to offer women the means of independence through the combination of broad education in the liberal arts with preparation for specific professional careers. Initially, the college operated under the charter of the Emma Willard School, granting its first baccalaureate degree in 1918 and graduating its first class in 1920. In 1927, the New York State Board of Regents granted a separate charter for Russell Sage College and reaffirmed the status of Emma Willard as a secondary school.
During World War II, an "emergency men's division" was created and in 1942 the first graduate degree was conferred. In 1949, an Albany Division was opened, offering two-year, four-year and graduate degrees under the charter of Russell Sage College and extending the College's mission to include the education of men on the second campus. The Sage Junior College of Albany received its own degree-granting powers in 1957. In 1995, the Sage Graduate School became authorized to grant degrees independently, the Sage Evening College became recognized as a separate administrative unit, and the institution was re-chartered by the Board of Regents of the state of New York as The Sage Colleges, often referred to for the sake of convenience as "Sage." The words "Russell Sage College" now refer only to the college for women. In 2001, the Sage Junior College of Albany and Sage Evening College were replaced by a single entity, Sage College of Albany.
In 2009 Sage restructured its graduate programs around three key areas of strength and expertise to create the Esteves School of Education, School of Health Sciences, and School of Management.
The schools capitalize on Sage's leading professional degree and certificate programs at the post-baccalaureate, master's, post-master's, and doctorate levels. The schools will also draw from the bachelor's programs at Sage's two undergraduate colleges.
Today, The Sage Colleges consists of:
- Russell Sage College, a comprehensive four-year college for women offering bachelor's degrees in the liberal arts and sciences as well as selected professional fields. Russell Sage bachelor's degrees typically lead to further study and more than 50% of graduates each year pursue advanced degrees. This College is integrally connected to the Sage Graduate School through accelerated bachelor's/master's programs.
- Sage College of Albany, a coeducational college of applied studies, offering bachelor's degrees. This College prepares students for direct entry into the professional workplace with the future option of graduate study.
- Through its School of Professional and Continuing Education, the Sage College of Albany offers bachelor's degree completion programs designed specifically for an audience of part-time, working adults.
- The Sage Graduate Schools of Education, Health Sciences and Management are coeducational environments offering advanced study for professional practice and leadership through master's degrees and post-master's certification in a wide variety of applied disciplines. They serve both recent college graduates, including Russell Sage students in accelerated bachelor's/master's programs, and individuals already at work in their professions.

Kerb 20 is the latest issue of the Journal of Landscape Architecture that originated at RMIT in 1989 and was launched last Friday in Melbourne, Australia. Kerb 20 Speculative Stories: Narratives in Landscape Architecture examines ways in which speculative narrative discourse can be applied to landscape architecture. Through exploring Fabricated foundations, Fossilisation of information, and Contemporary unfoldings, we can navigate new horizons for the narratives of landscape architecture that propel beyond responsive tracings, and position new navigations; forms of resistance to the existing knowledge. It is through this view in landscape architecture that exploration is facilitated of both new possibilities and of their implications.
The journal is unique in being compiled and edited each year by a small group of students, who select a range of articles pertinent to the dedicated theme of each edition. Kerb seeks to set the agenda for designers and landscape architects, establishing a platform for new ideas and contemporary design theory. Kerb Journal is now featured on university reading lists around the world.
