This reflection is taken from my book Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day, which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"A priest happened to be traveling along that same road, but when he saw him he passed by on the other side" (Luke 10:31).
Reflection: Perhaps the priest and Levite walked by the victim on the roadside because they thought the robbers were around the corner waiting to attack them. They asked, "If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?" The Samaritan reversed the question and asked, "If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?"
Prayer: Lord, may I stop calculating the risk to myself, and instead ask what will happen to the vulnerable if I don't help them.

ZF-6129: Multiple Services exposed on the same endpoint throws error on invocation if one of the services is invalid
We are facing an issue with the gateway.php that we use as endpoint for Remoting Calls from Flash player. In order to use a php file as a service we need to include it in the gateway.php file. Now if you have two php files exposed as services the gateway.php file has a code snippet similar to:
require_once 'Zend/Amf/Server.php';
require_once 'a.php'; require_once 'b.php';
$server = new Zend_Amf_Server(); echo $server->handle();
where a.php & b.php are service php files.
Now if a.php is invalid (syntactical errors etc.) the user is not allowed to invoke the functions of even b.php, since the gateway.php file could not include the invalid a.php file and hence throws an error. This is a concern as the user will now have to make sure that all the files exposed as services need to be valid all the time.
Is there any other better way of exposing the service php files so that the above limitations don't show up.
I don't think there's something specific to AMF - if you load bad file, PHP stops execution and produces an error. There's little that can be done about it. However, in this particular case you could use autoloading and then when you run service from a.php you would not need to include b.php. Thus, only service using b.php would be broken when b.php is broken.
The problem is in cases where the files are located in separate directories, say, 'dir1/a.php' and 'dir2/b.php' Now to expose these services we will have to write a code which will include $server->setClass('a') & $server->setClass('b'). If we use __autoload function, firstly how will we resolve the complete path to the php files and secondly, it will still result in errors as soon as we call setClass()
I'm not sure I understand - could you provide complete code example (maybe by mail to email@example.com) that describes what problems you get with autoloading?
This looks like an issue that has been resolved. Are you having the issue with Zend Framework 1.7.8?

Thierry Henry
Les Ulis, Essonne, France
"Naturally, I feel embarrassed at the way that we won and feel extremely sorry for the Irish who definitely deserve to be in South Africa. Of course, the fairest solution would be to replay the game but it is not in my control.''
-Thierry Henry
Long considered one of the most electrifying players in the game, Thierry Henry has found success at soccer's highest levels. After leading Arsenal to a string of championships and guiding his native France to major wins at the 1998 World Cup, and Euro 2000, Thierry Henry has transcended his sport to become a global icon. Though no one can take what he's achieved away from him, Henry's stunning handball that put France through to the 2010 World Cup may have damaged his reputation in the game beyond repair. It will be up to him to redeem himself this summer in South Africa at what will surely be his final World Cup.
As the heart of the dominant Arsenal club of the early aughts, Henry led his club to two Premier League titles, three FA Cups and two community shields, while taking home the PFA Players' Player of the Year award twice, and the FWA Footballer of the Year award an astounding three times. His Champions League title with Barcelona was the last piece of the puzzle in his club career, and with his massive victories as a French international at the 1998 World Cup, Euro 2000 and the 2003 Confederations Cup, it's safe to say Thierry Henry is one of the most decorated footballers of all time. In fact, the five-time French Player of the Year is such a prolific winner, we hear he has the inside track on this year's Norfolk County Fair's Best Pumpkin Pie award too. Just because he can.
Thierry Henry BiographyThierry Henry was born in the gritty Les Ulis district of Paris and lived with his Antillean parents in a modest, subsidized apartment typical of Paris' shoddier banlieues. With the urging of his father, Henry devoted himself to football, and immediately began impressing local scouts with his eye-opening talent. When he as 13 years old, Henry began playing for the prestigious Parisian club Viry-Chatillon's Under-15 Team, and scored 77 goals in just 26 games. Before he turned 14, Henry was selected to attend the French Football Federation's Clairefontaine academy, a renowned breeding ground for the country's future stars. But with his skills deemed too raw, the school's top brass considered Henry a long shot for future success. It wasn't until then-Monaco manager Arsene Wenger noticed the lanky teen and signed the 16 year old to an apprentice contract. By 1994, Henry was playing for Monaco's first team, and scored three goals in his first 18 appearances.
thierry henry emerges as a star at monacoUnder Arsene Wenger's tutelage, Thierry Henry began living up to the potential he showed in his youth. In 1996, he was named the French Young Footballer of the Year, and the following year received his first taste of major victory, when Monaco won the Ligue 1 title. The next season, Henry helped his club to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals -- scoring a record seven goals in the process -- but failed to advance past the semifinals. Though the agony of defeat was crushing for Henry, an upcoming success would help ease the pain.
thierry henry wins the world cup and the european championship with franceAfter his stellar play at Monaco led to his debut with France's national team in a friendly against South Africa, Thierry Henry was selected to play for his country at the 1998 World Cup, which lo and behold, was being held in France as well. The tournament was Henry's coming out party, and although he never played in the finals against Brazil, Henry led his team with three goals in the tournament, and was made a Chevalier of The Legion d'Honneur, his country's highest honor. Only two years later, Henry again scored three goals throughout France's march to the title at Euro 2000, earning the young striker's second major international championship. By now, Henry was one of France's leading stars, and was named Man of the Match in three games, including the finals against Italy.
thierry henry takes the premier league by stormThierry Henry's reputation as one of the world's best took a hit when he left Monaco for Juventus for £10.5 million and failed to make a mark in Serie A, managing a mere three goals in 16 appearances. Clearly unhappy in Italy, Henry joined his first coach Arsene Wenger at Arsenal for £10 million, and was positioned as a striker almost immediately.
Despite struggling during his first few months with the club, Henry finished the season with 26 goals. After his country's victory at Euro 2000, Henry returned to Arsenal with a new-found confidence. The next few years would see Henry dominate the English Premiership, becoming the only player ever to win the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year three times. While leading Arsenal to two Premier League titles and three FA Cups, Henry became one of the most feared strikers in the world, twice finishing as the runner-up for the FIFA World Player of the Year Award. The four time Premier League-leading scorer is third all time in goals scored, and in 2004 was named by Pele as one of the world's 125 Greatest Living Footballers.

Conn. Fathers Stunning Claim: Sons School Is Teaching That Americans Dont Have the Right to Bear Arms
A Connecticut father is accusing his son's school district of teaching children that Americans do not have a constitutional right to bear arms. Steven Boibeaux of Bristol, Connecticut, is claiming that his child, an eighth-grader at Northeast Middle School, was given a social studies worksheet that is anti-Second Amendment in nature -- or, at the least, opposed to the conservative view of the provision.
In an interview with Fox News' Todd Starnes, Boibeaux said that he's "appalled" and that the school seems to be "trying to indoctrinate our kids." The worksheet in question, published by Instructional Fair, is entitled, "The Second Amendment Today," and it allegedly proclaims that American citizens do not have the right to guns.
"The courts have consistently determined that the Second Amendment does not ensure each individual the right to bear arms," it purportedly reads. "The courts have never found a law regulating the private ownership of weapons unconstitutional."
When it comes to interpreting the Second Amendment, the worksheet provides additional parameters through which the constitutional provision should be viewed. Starnes explains:
The worksheet, published by Instructional Fair, goes on to say that the Second Amendment is not incorporated against the states.
"This means that the rights of this amendment are not extended to the individual citizens of the states," the worksheet reads. "So a person has no right to complain about a Second Amendment violation by state laws."
According to the document, the Second Amendment "only provides the right of a state to keep an armed National Guard."
Boibeaux also alleges that the teacher told the class that the Constitution is a "living document" and the worksheet seems to drive this point home, noting that "the interpretation changes to meet the needs of the times."
"I'm more than a little upset about this. It's not up to the teacher to determine what the Constitution means," the father told Starnes. "I just don't appreciate this as a parent. I expect teachers to teach my kids and tell the truth - not what they think their point of view is."
This report comes as debate over classroom studies across America -- and CSCOPE and Common Core-aligned curriculum, in particular -- rages.

Conn. Fatherâs Stunning Claim: Sonâs School Is Teaching That Americans Donât Have the Right to Bear Arms
Black Blade: Ah yes, the Liberal_progressive "Living, Breathing Document" crap. The US Constitution means what it says and says what it means. Only an ignorant moron like this "teacher" would believe such horseshit. It's not rocket science.

Lame Dinner Conversation
After the friend had left, my husband said how this visit was just the same as all the other visits by other faculty -- all evening we complain about the quality of students, share grantsmanship woes, talk about papers, conferences, collaborators, department politics... Basically, we always only talk about work.
It had never occurred to me that this was really a bad thing. I enjoy talking about work, all aspects of it. I particularly enjoy talking to people from other universities and from related but different fields. I love talking about grants, students, collaborators...
But my husband brought up a good point: when my faculty brethren come to visit, nobody talks about any movies they saw, or places they traveled, or world events... Just work.
Is it because we, faculty, don't have any interest in anything other than our work? I don't think that's true. But, I realized that I definitely don't feel comfortable discussing non-work things with work acquaintances... And I started to think about why that is. I think that's because wanting to discuss anything but work makes it seem like you are not serious enough about work. Our work is supposed to be all-consuming. I realized this fact during the first year on the tenure track -- after trying to get some people to go out to lunch on a few occasions, I realized that wanting to socialize made me look like a slacker, like I had too much time on my hands. Sure, I was supposed to be friendly and collegial, but at the same time always seem busy and preoccupied by work and slightly inconvenienced by anyone's intrusion into my work time. By now, for better or worse, I think I have adopted this attitude pretty well. Now I really don't want to hang out with anyone and feel inconvenienced by people's intrusion into my work time. I am a grown-up prof now, no more silly ideas like actually going to lunch to relax and - gasp! - socialize.
There is one person at work with whom I go out to lunch every couple of months in a predominantly social capacity, we talk about kids and books and movies and sometimes even our extended families. I do meet with some other faculty for lunch on occasion, but these are always working lunches, and yes, you guessed it, we usually talk about writing a proposal together.
So, normal people, like my husband, think we academics are really lame and make terrible dinner conversation. He's probably right. But here's the deal -- I kind of really don't mind. I actually don't even care that much about what my colleagues do outside of work. I don't know them well enough for their opinion on books or movies to have a lot of weight. I don't know about their families and, at this point, I don't particularly care to learn. Neither do they about mine. So we talk about work, which is something we all care about, the important common thread in our lives. No, I really don't mind talking shop, even if we are lame dinner conversationalists. Although, in all fairness, I should probably make an effort to reduce academic lameness when there are non-professorial folks around...

Was it always like this, even as a postdoc and grad student? I never only talk about work with my academic friends. Technology, music, politics, random events, what else is going on in people's life, these are all conversation topics too. Maybe its because I'm further down the ladder than you.

Please tell me that is not true! I am especially shocked about the part about lunch. How can going to lunch with colleagues make look like a slacker? This is absolutely crazy!
I wish for you and your colleagues you had persisted asking people for lunch; maybe you would have managed to improve this extremely unhealthy climate.

I have a few work friends with whom I only talk work - even when we are outside of the work context. However, I've also made several friends at work who are true friends (i.e., we socialize a lot) and we talk about much more than work. I think it can depend on your level of friendship. But, when people like your guest come to visit and are "new" conversation, I often really enjoy talking about work (particularly if I can get some advice!)

so true! My husband and I are just like this, but since we are both in academia, and even the same dept, we both are pretty happy talking mostly about work stuff. I think you are right , that this phenom is also pretty cultural, that thher is the perception that to talk about anything else is a sign of lack of dedication. I have noticed that since having had a kid that many people use child stuff as a a non-work topic, more than I would have ever imagined. But I get uncomfortable sometimes, esp as a woman, and will typically change the subject to something safer, like work.
- April 28, 2012 at 9:56 PM
I think normal people usually remember that it's polite to make sure that no one feels excluded from conversation at a social gathering. That means not letting conversation dwell too long on a topic that not everyone can participate in.
At a business lunch/dinner, most of the discussion is likely to be work related, or be very neutral general topics.
I don't think it has much to do with academic/non-academic.

I totally get how you feel. It's like, when you get on the tenure track, a switch flips and then all you do is eat-breathe-sleep work.
I too enjoy talking about all aspects of the job and yes, it does help to vent/whine sometimes so I don't think it's too bad. Plus, like you said, it's something you care about and if it is important, you should be thinking about it a lot.

"I have noticed that since having had a kid that many people use child stuff as a a non-work topic, more than I would have ever imagined. But I get uncomfortable sometimes, esp as a woman, and will typically change the subject to something safer, like work."
I completely agree with this comment. I (female) change the subject. My partner (male) does not.
For me there are a variety of factors at play. 1) It is easier to talk about university experiences with other academics who I don't know well, because I know it is shared common ground. 2) I truly enjoy talking about work. I ask my neighbours about their jobs because I find it fascinating. I am always slightly disappointed when people don't want to talk about what they do. 3) At most large social gathering, dinner conversation is small talk along the lines of celebrity gossip, sports, etc. This makes me uncomfortable. I know nothing of sports and movies, and I keep a few funny anecdotes in store to contribute to a meaningless conversation. I think of kvetching about students at different universities as a similar type of small talk between academics, when the usual small talk topics are likely not applicable.

That's exactly the reason I left science, and went to business. I decided to hang out with normal people who don't always talk about science, students, publications and experiments.
And then I discovered that in business, as soon as you start to hang out with successful managers, they talk about work all the time as well! Only their work is boring! They talk about scorecards, motivation, leadership, startups, investments and such. They meet in a restaurant, spend first 10 min in a casual conversation, and then switch to their project.
So I figured I'd better move back to science. If I'm doomed to talk about work - at least I'll talk about the one I care about =)
- April 30, 2012 at 5:10 PM
I think people in general just talk about what they have in common, because how else are you supposed to have a conversation? If work is the only thing you have in common and your outside interests don't match, or you just never got to know the person outside of work, then why wouldn't you talk about work? I talk about outside interests with my coworkers if we happen to have common interests...because it is a topic that interests both of us. I've had coworkers who were not all that passionate about their jobs - it was a means to pay the bills while they pursued other interests - and I wouldn't talk about work with them because I know they're not interested in science/engineering the way I am. It's a social skill that extends well beyond academics...talk about what interests the other person too, don't just ramble on about what you want.

I am conflicted. On the one hand, I enjoy those offline conversations about work. I think a lot of good information can be exchanged. On the other hand it annoys me when folks try to have very serious science conversations during social events. Complaining about the annoying parts of the profession can be a fun way to let off some steam. Demanding an in depth analysis of some recent scientific controversy? Total drag.
- May 4, 2012 at 3:29 PM
That's just to me sad that you have actually accepted to be inconvenienced by social interaction etc the way that you describe it. I say that as a totally obsessive and mostly work-talking faculty. I have never had any trouble being taken seriously whilst being social and friendly. I guess I should be thankful my life is not like yours somehow. When it comes to babies and family, you're not all-work-all-the-time. It sounds like a lack of perspective to me to not consider friendship also a priority. But of course it's your life to live how you want. My husband is not an academic and he also notices how much we talk about work with my academic friends but I think I would be very sad if that was all we talked about and bonded over.

One day sitting in the Garden of Edan, Adam was sitting on a rock with a very troubled and sad look on his face.
God looked upon Adam and asked him, "What is troubling you my son?"
Adam replied, "God... I am so lonely."
God replied, "Why my son? I have given you a perfect garden in which I've placed countless plants and animals for you to live amongst and name."
Adam says, "I know God, but I talk to the animals and they do not respond. I talk to the plants and it's the same thing. All I have is you to talk with yet I have never seen your face nor known your touch. I need a companion God."
God says to this, " Adam I have an idea. I will make you a woman."
Adam asks, "What is a woman God."
God replies, "Well my son, A woman is everything a man finds beautiful put into a tight, supple, valuptuous body. She will gather you food and prepare it for your consumption. She will give you all of your sexual desires and never refuse your advances. She will care for you when you are ill and listen to your every command without question and do whatever you ask of her without as much as a peep of disagreement. She is the most perfect companion."
Adam stood astonished. He couldn't believe God could do such a thing for him so he asks, "God that sounds amazing. What would you ask of me in order for me to have such a companion?"
God replies, "Well this is very difficult, but I will be able to do this asking only for an arm and a leg from you with which I can make such a woman."
Adam paused. He looked at his arm and his leg and looks towards the heavens and asks, "What can I get for a rib?"

Today is the second Michel & Augustin Petits Carres bar that I bought at the Grove Farmer's Market. I recall them having a few varieties. If I bought all they had I clearly don't remember. My sister just chose a few for me and I went with them. I didn't care enough to make sure if I was trying all the varieties or just some of them.
This is the Hazelnut Dark Chocolate flavor, which, I am hoping will be a bit more flavorful than the plain dark chocolate. Time will tell though.
The first thing that had me bummed about this bar was it has overcooked cookie base. Not just darker than the last, no. It has inconsistent coloring all over and in some parts it was a dark as the chocolate was. Not good. The flavor is not as strong or yummy as Nutella is, which I found disappointing. The filling is only slightly nutty and just comes across as bland. Sadly there's no saltiness in the cookies base. Just a bland sweetness and a rock hard texture which made it even more difficult to separate and eat as the Dark Chocolate variety.
So this one was disappointing. I was hoping it'd improve my thoughts about this candy, but instead it just made me think worse of it. If I wanted to eat flavorless burnt cookies I'd make some myself, as it's easy to leave a batch in the oven too long. I mean, it didn't taste terrible but it wasn't great either. Especially since I paid about $4 for this, imported from France no less. Fool me once….

Dunbarton BlueFourth generation cheesemaker Chris Roelli committed the equivalent of blue cheese heresy by piercing his cheese and then pressing it to inhibit the mold growth.

In a typical blue, the pierce holes introduce air that allows the desirable mold to proliferate within the cheese. By pressing it, Chris halts the process, developing a distinct but subtle bluing that hints at piquancy without punching you in the face.

Five locals to watch for next year's National Signing Day
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 6:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 11:49 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — Charles Nelson said most of the college recruiters he talks to all say they like one thing — speed.
Which is why the recruiters are calling the 5-foot-9, 175-pound Seabreeze football star to begin with.
Nelson, a defensive back/running back, is not just fast, he is blazing fast.
He said he clocked a 4.39 40-yard dash at a camp at Florida last year. And if you don't believe that, he welcomes you to Google up his film and take a look at him running by opponents.
About the only thing Nelson — who had 659 yards and seven touchdowns on just 60 touches last season — seems to not be able to do with great speed is remember all of his verbal scholarship offers.
"Let's see," Nelson said, rolling his head back and taking a second to think Thursday evening. "Boston College … Duke, Cincinnati, Georgia Tech … Wake Forest, Michigan State, Temple … did I say Memphis?"
With 2013's National Signing Day now in the rearview mirror, the countdown to Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2014 — next year's signing day — is already on. And Nelson — as his ever-growing list of offers indicates — will be one of the most heralded names in the area when that day rolls around.
But he won't be the only one. Below is a look at four other players that will join Nelson in the race to become the area's top recruit on signing day.
New Smyrna Beach
STATS — Rushed for 521 yards and 14 touchdowns last season. Also had 45 tackles and three interceptions.
BUZZ — Dixon is a versatile player who will, likely, end up at defensive back in college. Already has offers from a handful of schools, including North Carolina, North Carolina State and Vanderbilt.
STATS — Had 117 tackles — 12.5 for loss — a sack and an interception last season with Seabreeze.
BUZZ — Is physical enough to play linebacker in high school, but projects as a defensive back in college. Has an offer from Boston College.
STATS — Had 1,117 yards — 925 rushing, 192 receiving — and 10 touchdowns last season with Seabreeze.
BUZZ — Rodriguez has good speed and elusiveness. Already has offers from Boston College, Memphis, Temple and Wake Forest.
STATS — Rushed for 1,039 yards and 10 touchdowns last season.
BUZZ — Jones has good speed and strength. He said he has a verbal offer from N.C. State and that Mississippi State told him it plans to attend his spring game.

ZF-8787: Unit tests for Zend_Form_Element_Submit fail on default translator
Several (four, to be precise) unit tests fail because they expect the label of the element to be set to the name of the element ('foo') and not be translated. However, for some reason, there is a default translator which always translates 'foo' into 'bar'. Probably left behind from some other Zend_Form related unit test? Anyway, to prevent this a slight adjustment to the setUp() is in order. See attachment in comment #1.
Attached patch which calls Zend_Form::setDefaultTranslator(null) in setUp()
This seems to be fixed since r20266 by matthew

Carl is a big bear of a guy who lives in our neighborhood, and one thing we could always count on was seeing him return from his daily morning swim — even in the middle of winter. Carl loved the beach so much he would regularly shovel wind-blown sand from the walkway that led over the dunes, leaving it clear and clean, clearly delineating where the wood path ended and paradise began. He would lean over his shovel, or pause after emerging towel clad and grinning from the water, to engage anybody in a conversation characterized by his easy demeanor and his joie de vivre. But the day after the decimation of our coastal community by Hurricane Sandy when people emerged from their homes to inspect the damage, a close friend gently teased Carl about whether he would take his morning ablution. He looked at her, and hollow-eyed replied, "I hate the ocean."
We live on a barrier island on the coastline of Long Island, in a town called Lido Beach that we thought relatively well protected from ocean storms by a colossal, pink, Moorish architectural structure called the Lido Towers. An upscale, six-story condominium, the towers began as a hotel in 1928 and survived the unnamed 1938 hurricane. But it could very well have come to the end of its useful life in 2012 and wrecked by the storm surge of a category-one hurricane during a full-moon high tide. Ultimately, of course, it couldn't shield us, and the ocean came down our streets, roaring like chest-high river rapids, delivering sea grass and salt water into the heart of our lives.
The day before the hurricane was due to hit land — anywhere, the experts said, between Delaware and Connecticut — my husband and I decided to evacuate 10 miles north, outside the projected flood zone of Long Island's south shore. We were welcomed into my sister-in-law's home and joined her husband and three children, not knowing of course, that this would be a haven for our family during the next five weeks. Three of my kids were in northeast colleges far enough away from the coast to be deemed safe; our high-school senior came with us unwillingly, convinced his parents were overreacting. The dog, more obedient, came with no protest.
In fact, it turned out that the dog was the most sensible animal in the house the night the storm hit. As eight of us crowded onto the tiny front porch to observe the jaw-dropping results of 90 mph gusts in the blacked-out, tree-lined neighborhood, he remained in the basement. Secure in his comfortable bed, his canine, instinctive wisdom trumped the thrill-seeking risks of his human companions.
It turned out that while we were standing on that front porch, our neighbors and friends back at the beach were beginning to experience abject terror. The first inking of what was to come came in the form of a friend's text to my son: two doors south of us, the ocean was in the house, rising to the level of the first step of the living-room staircase, which led to the second floor. Another text relayed the fact that the water was rising fast. Shortly after the level rose to the third step, communication stopped abruptly.
Increasingly spotty cell-phone service informed us that in addition to the tidal surge, part of our beach community was in flames, sparked as the flood water came into contact with car batteries and residential electrical panels. (Our nephew, a volunteer firefighter, was actively fighting to contain the blaze; a fact his mother was grateful to learn only after the fire was extinguished.) As we absorbed this news from the relative safety of our refuge, eerie flickering lit up the eastern and western sky. An oak came crashing down across the street, and in a shower of noisy sparks it destroyed a transformer. The sound of sirens permeated the wind and the rain, and the night became otherworldly, frighteningly primal.
We slept uneasily and awoke to a greatly abated storm, a greatly transformed landscape. Frantic to inspect our house, our community, our friends, our neighbors, we headed to Lido and encountered the remnants of an increasingly apocalyptic world the further south we traveled. No operating traffic lights. Trees down everywhere — across roads, embedded in the roofs of houses, straddling yards, with root ball diameters often eight feet across.
Unmoored pleasure boats, far from collapsed docks and seasonal storage towers, were scattered throughout streets, one in the driveway of a car wash. Automobiles, grotesquely abandoned by the storm surge were scattered at odd angles in roads and on lawns, filled with seaweed, sand, and condensation. Streets were like small lakes, sidewalks like ponds. And where the water wasn't, you could see where it had been. Lines demarked the heights to which it had rose — on houses, on fences, on street signs, on telephone poles.
Our reconnaissance mission revealed a two and a half foot water line around our home. Flooded throughout the first floor to a height of nine inches, the hardwood floors were already beginning to buckle. Most of the water had receded, leaving behind a muck of silt and mud that saturated everything it touched and ruined every appliance we had. Swollen door frames necessitated the removal of doors to get to other rooms.
In our backyard, we found a huge remnant of the Long Beach boardwalk, which is situated a half-mile from our house. On the sidewalk we found the detritus of people's lives: a bar mitzvah boy and his parents dressed in 1950s finery smiled up at us from a photograph, as did a white-gowned, third-grade communion celebrant standing before a religious statue. A beautifully embroidered Hanukah tablecloth lay soaked beyond repair by the curb. Roof shingles, wood beams, dune grass, and sand were everywhere. A seven-foot sand dune blocked the street. We found a truck floating in a neighbor's in-ground pool.
Despite the roar of the ocean, the thing I remember now is the silence. Sand must be like snow in the way it muffles sound, and the quiet was spooky, incongruous to the devastation we surveyed.
In the days to come, when everybody on the Northeast Coast was becoming familiar with the vagaries of government institutions and familiarizing themselves with insurance adjusters, FEMA registration forms, and debating the necessity of wearing an N97 mask, the noise became more intense. State Troopers and the National Guard in humvees rolled down the streets. Rescue helicopters patrolled the wreckage from the sky. Ambulances and fire trucks screamed continuously.
But I remember the silence in those early days of recovery most of all. And in the stillness of Halloween, while my family was transporting the ruins of our lives from the house to the curb, a little girl in a fairy costume walked carefully with her parents over the shifting sand and garbage on our block. Silently holding out her festive orange bag to me I could only tell her through gritted teeth that I had no candy to give her. "No, no," her mother fervently replied. "We are reverse trick-or-treating. We want to give a treat to people in need. You look like you could use a candy bar." At her prompting, the child handed over a piece of chocolate. And I cried.
The sea air blows salty and clean over us all now, calm and soothing, like a benediction. Most of the community is slowly recovering, although there are pockets of decimation still that I fear will never revive. My family is crammed into the upstairs of our two-story house for the duration of the first-floor renovation. We have a hotplate for a kitchen, and the two bedrooms are like dormitories. As I count my blessings, I pray that I see Carl again soon, rising from the northern Atlantic like a resurrected Neptune.

Registered Nursing – Day: 4 semesters; Night: 5 semesters; Transitions: Day: 3 semesters; Night: 4 semesters
Respiratory Care – 6 semesters
Veterinary Technology – 4 semesters
Dental Assisting – First semester students are on campus 21 hours a week (12 hours a week in lecture and 9 hours each week in labs). They should allow about 24 hours a week for reading, studying, doing homework. Students who work 20 hours per week or less are generally most successful.
Dental Hygiene – First semester freshman Monday & Wednesday 8:00-12:00; Thursdays 8:30-4:30; Friday 8:00-4:00, we usually recommend not more than 20 hours per week. We also recommend that you cut as far back as possible then increase hours if you can. This works better than waiting to cut work hours and risk getting behind and not being able to catch up.
Emergency Medical Technician – 2 days per week (M/W or Tue/Thu) 9 hours per day; or 3 nights per week (M/Tue/Thu) 6 hours per night
Health Information Management/HIT – Yes, but if a student works 40 hours a week, we do not advise a full-time academic load. Students enrolled in the RODP HIT on-line program must be available to schedule time during traditional daytime work hours (Monday-Friday. 9 am to 5 pm) for professional practice experiences in the second year of the program. Part-time schedules are determined on a case-by-case basis by the program director.
Pharmacy Technician – Monday & Wednesdays: 9:00-4:00; Thursday: 8:00-2:00; Friday 8:00-12:00
Physical Therapist Assistant – Fall semester hours are Monday through Friday 8:00-12:00; we usually recommend not more than 20 hours per week. We also recommend that you cut as far back as possible then increase hours if you can. This works better than waiting to cut work hours and risk getting behind and not being able to catch up.
Radiologic Technology – The first semester of your first year is the less stressful of all since you do not go to clinic at the hospitals and you could work more this one semester. You would be in class 7am-12 noon Monday through Thursday with one afternoon in lab. Friday is set aside for study and research. After the first semester, you would be involved in either class, lab or clinic from around 7 am to around 4 pm each day. We recommend no more than 20 hours working per week or less if possible.
Registered Nursing –Yes, you can work; but we strongly recommend you do not work more than 24 hours per week. Classes are Day: 3 days a week / Night: 2 evenings a week.
Respiratory Care – First semester Monday and Fridays 12:00-3:00 with one lab added in spring and summer. Second year students are in class, lab or clinic for about 33 hours per week.
Veterinary Technology - It will be difficult for one to work once accepted into the program due to the required clinical hours outside of class. This applies to the following courses of Clinical Practicum: VETT 2010, VETT 2020 and VETT 2030.

Something must be going around, because both my friend and I have really bad stuffy noses and sore throats. It sucks. Bad.

Strep throat is nothing compared to the stomach bug. Luckily, I haven't had that since I was six.

Xion, do you like it deep throated?
ive never had strep throat...
though i really dont feel like going to school today either, my parents would blame me staying off on going out with nicola yesterday so they wont let me go out next weekend either. pussys.
so im just gonna go, put in minimal effort and not do gym.
eve that is what i do every day i go to school
during my school day I just sit in class, pretending to listen to the teacher as I surf the internet. they teach so little in school, I'm able to pass with good marks without even listening
i dont really listen in class. just do the coursework to my best possible standard and research everything the teachers said on the internet, and receive a pretty good mark. easy.
I put in the minimal effort and the next 2 years of my life suffered because of it! Don't make my mistakes!

January Jones
Sioux Falls, South Dakota
"Hitchhiking seems romantic, but it's too dangerous. And all those stories on Unsolved Mysteries have made people paranoid."
- January Jones
January Jones plays suburban homemaker Betty Draper on the critically acclaimed AMC series Mad Men. Prior to landing on the hit show, this sultry South Dakotan appeared on the big-screen flicks We Are Marshall, Love Actually and Anger Management. In 2011, she's starring opposite Liam Neeson in Unknown White Male, a thriller about a man who wakens from a coma only to find that his identity has been stolen and not even his own wife (Jones) believes who he really is.
January Jones BiographyJanuary Jones was born January 5, 1978, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The eldest of three sisters, she attended Roosevelt High School where she balanced her studies with a part-time job at Dairy Queen. "I loved my after-school job at the Dairy Queen, though I'm sworn to secrecy about their recipes," she says. "I'd whip up my own concoctions, like mixing ice cream with their slushy, which is now called a Misty Freeze. I did that before it was even on their menu."
january jones begins modelingJanuary Jones also found gainful employment as model and she eventually moved to New York City at the age of 18 to further her career. It proved to be a savvy decision, and before long she was appearing in high-profile ads for Abercrombie & Fitch and Clearasil. She also participated in a particularly precarious photo shoot in Paris that nearly ended her career. "I was in lingerie on a trampoline and had to jump into the air and do weird poses for eight hours," she recalls. "The constant jumping made my legs start to buckle. And no one on the shoot spoke English, or at least they pretended they didn't. I was so angry."
january jones in full frontalThe experience made her think twice about her choice of professions, and January Jones eventually transitioned into acting, making her big-screen debut in 1999 in All the Rage, an award-winning independent film starring Joan Allen, Jeff Daniels and Gary Sinise. A succession of small roles soon followed in The Glass House, starring Diane Lane, Bandits featuring Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton and the controversial Steven Soderbergh project, Full Frontal.
january jones stars in american weddingJanuary Jones truly came into her own in 2003 thanks to substantial roles in Anger Management, starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson, Love Actually, featuring Liam Neeson and Emma Thompson and American Wedding in which she played Alyson Hannigan's younger sister. "I feel as though my career really hit its high point when I was cast as a supporting actress in American Wedding," she says. "I thought the script had a lot of depth and intelligence, and it really just jumped off the page." January Jones especially enjoyed working with the film's talented ensemble cast. "They were great to me. They were very supportive and helped me out," she says. "They were just like brothers. And Alyson [Hannigan] was awesome to work with. She gave me everything I needed."
january jones stars in we are marshallAmerican Wedding helped secure her reputation as a star on the rise, and January Jones benefited with a pair of plum parts in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada alongside Tommy Lee Jones, and in the moving sports film We Are Marshall as the loyal wife of grief-stricken football coach Red Dawson. "The story was so good," she says.
january jones joins the cast of mad men, is no. 98 on 2009 top 99January Jones stepped away from the big screen in 2007 to join the cast of Mad Men, an original AMC series about one of New York's most prestigious ad agencies. The program, in two seasons, won six Emmy Awards and a pair of Golden Globes. "It's a very fun series to shoot," she says. "Never having done a series before, I was pleasantly surprised how similar to movies it was. I wasn't too rushed creatively and was a very safe environment to act in. I am blessed with amazing colleagues and beautiful writing."
In January 2009, the lovely ones was voted No. 98 on AskMen.com's Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2009.

Reviews for Spiced-Up Healthy Soup
"This is a good, hearty soup. It's very easy to make and has a nice kick to it. I used Pace's hot picante for my soup and served it with a dollop of Greek yogurt."
"I was a little on the fence with making this soup, but was pleasantly surprised! I used medium picante sauce, but next time will use hot since we like things really spicy. I also used a mix of jalepeno and garlic grapeseed oils for a little added flavor and to make it a little healthier yet! Now to wait and see if my husband will eat it..."
"So good!"
"I liked all the interesting ingredients. I used leftover chicken and used medium salsa instead of picante (and that was spicy enough for us!). And served with cheddar as suggested by previous reviewer. Family didn't say wow, so we'll probably not make it again!"
"This was very tasty, with a nice zip from the salsa (I used chunky medium hot). I omitted the chicken. The soup was very hearty without it. Next day leftovers were even better. We added a tablespoon of Cheddar cheese to each bowl--melted goodness. I think it would also be good to add oregano, basil, and Italian flavored tomatoes instead of the salsa to make Italian soup."

"3lb beggar bag"
I was not overly satisfied. I would say this would be more fitting for sm-md size dog. Many of the pieces would be great for my 15lb Rat Terrier, but I would not be comfortable giving these to my 50/60lb Aussie & mutt. 95% of the pieces were small enough for them to swallow whole. Again same as the 5lb bag, there were only bones and no chews of any variety.
"Beggar value bag"
Choices for everybody. They love this bag of treat. Great choice.
"Big pieces for a small dog"
I bought the 1lb bag to compare with the Jones variety chew bag. I will say I am happy with the beggar bag. The price is better than Jones. I usually give these bags to my 5lb chihuahua. This bag has some large trachea pieces that will take a small dog a few days or weeks to eat. I would say this bag is okay for beagle size and smaller. I have pits and German shepherd but they would crack and splinter some of the other bones in this bag. Overall great value and my little Chihuahua is very happy!

There's a whole world of cooking competitions that the public rarely sees: chefs cooking for chefs, judged by chefs. And we have a winner right here in SLC.
We're not talking about an Ultimate Flay Throwdown sturm- und-bam drama, choreographed for Food Network, made-for-TV-audiences display. This is a rigorous, rule-bound, Old World series of competitions that evolved directly out of Careme and Escoffier's codified cuisine as carried on in this country by The American Culinary Federation.
The ACF was founded in 1929 and it's the largest organization of professional chefs in the country.
Not celebrity chefs.
Professional chefs.
The ACF was responsible for upgrading the definition of "chef" from the domestic category to the professional category in the U.S. Department of Labor's Dictionary of Official Titles in 1976. The implications of that may be elusive now, but basically it means a chef is more the equivalent of a doctor than a housecleaner. It's a respectable - now even glamorous - aspiration for a middle-class American kid.
Like Todd Leonard, the chef of Blue Lemon restaurants in downtown Salt Lake and Highland, who just won the title Western Region Chef of the Year from the ACF.
Competing against four other chefs, Leonard had one hour and 25 minutes to prep, cook and serve a whole bone-in duck. The center of his plate was a prosciutto-wrapped duck roulade with port and morel mushroom jus. With it he served a chavre and herb polenta gratin, tomato-stuffed mushroom and seared foie gras; and a mix of sweet peas and other vegetables.
There's a whole book advising chefs about for these competitions, packed with very specific rules and requirements, depending on the category.
Here's one I like: "Dressing the rims of plates results in an unacceptable appearance."
Also: "Sauce boats should only be half full."
You can see it would easy to lose out on a technicality.
Leonard will go to Dallas in July to compete against three other regional winners at the ACF's 2011 National Convention.
But you can taste his food at the Tastemakers Salt Lake City event on May 19 and 20. Get your tickets here. Only $20.

This month, Oracle announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Instantis, a leading provider of cloud-based and on-premise project portfolio management solutions. By combining Instantis with leading capabilities from Oracle's Primavera and Oracle Fusion Applications, Oracle's leadership expects to provide the most comprehensive set of cloud-based and on-premise Enterprise Project Portfolio Management solutions allowing customers to plan and execute initiatives throughout their organizations. Here, learn more about the proposed acquisition, plus get more insight from the November issue of Profit magazine.
"Organizations realize the need for a more simplified approach to address project portfolio management initiatives – and yet most solutions are too complicated and expensive to deploy. By adding Instantis, Oracle can help customers gain complete visibility and control of their mission-critical project initiatives using a top-down approach suited for projects throughout the entire organization." —Mike Sicilia, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Primavera
"By and large the reason most projects fail is because they are over-scoped. They are just too large. We love killer apps and the grand slam home runs, but we should be using an almost scientific approach to problems and searching for smaller, quicker, leaner solutions." —Matthew May, author, The Laws of Subtraction
"Real-time, mobile data transfer and automation will not only increase the accuracy of revenue recognition but will also support better coordination of resources, cost reduction, and more-efficient access to working capital. Customer satisfaction is a key differentiator, so the ability to execute with more precision can translate to a happy customer and repeat business." —Susan Poser, senior director of the Industry Strategy and Insight global program office at Oracle
"Oracle's recent acquisition of Skire, a leading provider of capital program management and facilities management applications available both in the cloud and on premises, gives customers outstanding new EPPM options. By combining Skire's cloud-based solutions for managing capital projects, real estate, and facilities with Oracle's Primavera EPPM solutions, project managers can quickly get a solution running that is interoperable across an extended enterprise." —From Profit's "From Trailer to Cloud"
"The right EPPM solution can help organizations see all the projects across their entire portfolio. If there's any piece that a manager or executive is concerned about, he or she should have the ability to drill into it and study the individual metrics that are in danger of causing things to go off the rails." —Mike Sicilia, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Primavera

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Laser surgery is a type of surgery that uses special light beams instead of instruments for surgical procedures. Laser stands for "light amplification by the stimulated emission of radiation." Lasers were first developed in 1960. Newer laser modifications continue to have a large impact on medical and surgical practices. A large part of their impact has been seen in the treatment of various skin lesion and diseases.
The functioning of a laser goes back to Albert Einstein's quantum theory of radiation and includes other theories that help explain local tissue damage. As the light beam hits the skin, the skin may either reflect the light away, scatter the light, absorb the light, or let the light pass through the different layers. Each layer of the skin uses the light differently.
Certain parts of the skin, called chromophones, absorb the light. When these chromophones absorb the light, physical, mechanical, chemical, or temperature changes may occur in the tissue. There are many different types of lasers, including the carbon dioxide laser, the YAG (neodymium, or yttrium aluminum garnet) laser, and the argon laser. Each type works in a different manner and may be used for different treatment options. Laser light can be delivered either continuously or intermittently.
There are many indications for the use of lasers in surgery. The following are some of the more common indications:

Setting the stage for a party? Maxine Turner's advice will serve you and your guests well. A few of our favorite tips:
1. It's not just about the food, and it's not just about the décor. It's about enticing all the senses. Consider lighting, temperature, colors, aromas and music, and make sure each element is fine-tuned and complementary tothe others. Think super ice-cold beer on a hot day or flattering light for a daytime party.
2. Don't buy cheap ingredients. You won't end up with quality if you don't start with quality.
3. Take vegetables off the platter and salads out of bowls. Instead, present them in small vases or interesting cups. Turner serves a Greek salad on a stick: feta, cucumber slices, grape tomatoes and kalamata olives lightly drizzled with vinaigrette.
4. Scour hardware stores for fun props. A shower curtain for a backdrop or to cover a table for a beach buffet. Dryer vents, metal caps and paint buckets can all be repurposed.
