Writer Cindy Morrow said that Daring Do's name was "Bravely Blue" in her pre-script, first outline.[3] This name was eventually used for an alternate universe counterpart of Daring Do mentioned in the IDW comics' My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #19.
Daring Do's name is a play on the phrase derring-do, meaning "brave and adventurous, often reckless actions". She shares the same mane, tail, and eye design as Rainbow Dash, and their personality is similar. They differ in cutie mark (a compass rose), coat color, and Daring Do's "rainbow" hair which is grayscale; when she snatches the Sapphire Statue from Ahuizotl's hands, she leaves a grayscale rainbow trail behind her, like Rainbow Dash does in several episodes.
A.K. Yearling is a nod to and pun on British author J.K. Rowling.[4] The name "Yearling" also refers to a horse between one and two years of age. In early December 2013, Dave Polsky was asked whether A. K. Yearling is a reference to Amy Keating Rogers and answered "Consciously, no. But subconsciously? Wow, I am so totally busted."[5]
When asked why Rainbow and Daring are practically similar, Jim Miller responded "when we were starting DD's first appearance, we didn't know she'd ever come back. So it's just a recolored RD model."[6]
Depiction in the series
Season twoDaring Do and her books are introduced in Read It and Weep, when Twilight Sparkle brings Rainbow Dash the first book in the series, Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone. Twilight says she owns all the books in the series, and mentions to Dash that "You'd like Daring. She's a lot like you. Adventurous, fierce, and undeniably, unquestionably, unstoppable."
Later in the episode, Twilight calls the book Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue instead of Sapphire Stone and goes uncorrected.
The book series depicts Daring Do as an adventurer and treasure hunter, exploring long lost temples and ruins for ancient artifacts. The aforementioned first book in the series sees her discovering a temple she'd searched for over two months. She surpasses the booby traps within and liberates a sapphire statuette shaped like a two-headed Anubis, all with an injured wing. Her search for this treasure puts her at odds with a dog-like creature named Ahuizotl. Through various trials and tribulations, Daring Do secures the sapphire statue from Ahuizotl's clutches and, in doing so, saves the world.At the end of the episode, Rainbow Dash reads another book in the series, Daring Do and the Griffon's Goblet.
In A Friend in Deed, Rainbow Dash reads a Daring Do book in Twilight's library. The book has a similar spine and cover as The Griffon's Goblet, but the title on the cover is Daring Do and the Sapphire Stone.
Season three
In Too Many Pinkie Pies, Rainbow Dash is seen reading The Sapphire Stone again.
Season fourIn Daring Don't, it is revealed that the author of the Daring Do books, A.K. Yearling, is Daring Do herself. It is established that the adventures recounted in the books are actually based on Daring Do's real adventures against treasure hunters and the series' villains, including the creature Ahuizotl.
In Testing Testing 1, 2, 3, Twilight Sparkle tells Rainbow Dash, "I don't know anypony that's read more Daring Do books than you."
In Trade Ya!, Rainbow Dash goes to the Rainbow Falls Traders Exchange seeking a first-edition copy of Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone. Like in Read It and Weep, the book is referred to as Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue several times. The two versions of the book shown in Trade Ya! present no distinction. However, they do differ from the version seen in Read It and Weep in that the back covers also contain a few darker lines in Trade Ya!
Season five
In Castle Sweet Castle, Daring Do appears on a poster labeled Daring Do: Riddle of the Sphinx.
In Tanks for the Memories, Rainbow suspects the reason for Tank's hibernation is reading too many Daring Do stories. She also reads him a Daring Do book[7] at the end of the episode.
Season six
In Flutter Brutter, Rainbow Dash reads Daring Do and the Ring of Destiny at the Shy residence to avoid talking to Zephyr Breeze, and A.K. Yearling appears depicted in a photograph in Pinkie Pie's wallet.
Daring Do is very similar in appearance to Rainbow Dash. Her body color is somewhere between dark khaki and arylide yellow. For most of Read it and Weep, she has one wing wrapped up in a series of white bandages. Her manestyle is identical to Rainbow Dash's, and consists of six shades of grey that correspond to the six colors in Rainbow Dash's mane; this color combination is often referred to as a grayscale rainbow. Her eyes are raspberry red, with straight eyelashes, exactly the same as Rainbow Dash's. Her cutie mark is a compass rose, which probably represents a talent for exploration and a strong sense for adventure, as would befit her name. Daring's outfit consists of a dark olivine vest and a tan pith helmet with a dark olive band.
Daring Don't reveals that Daring Do and author A.K. Yearling are actually the same pony. In her guise as the reclusive author, she disguises her appearance with a purple shawl, a grey cloche and heavy red-framed spectacles. She also evidently hides that she is a Pegasus. It isn't clear if A.K. Yearling is a pseudonym or if it is 'Daring Do' who is the false identity, used for her dangerous adventures.
PersonalityDaring Do is depicted as a very cunning, fierce, and determined explorer. She has been shown to be incredibly intelligent, using her wits to solve puzzles, pull off disguises, and escape many of Ahuizotl's death traps. However, it is revealed in Daring Don't that she is a loner, often rejecting company and help whenever it is offered to her, as seen when she turns down Rainbow Dash's, and in an earlier adventure Dr. Caballeron's, offers to help her. It is revealed that through all of the secrecy that comes with her dangerous adventures, Daring Do taught herself not to trust anyone at all. Yet during the climax of the episode, she does open up a little after Rainbow Dash rescues her from Ahuizotl's trap and asserts her friendship towards Daring, and she later admits that sometimes even she could use a little help. At the very end, Daring seems to have lost some of her introverted nature as she develops a bond with Rainbow Dash to the point where she writes about her in her latest book.
Homage to Indiana Jones
- See also the section for Read It and Weep on the list of allusions
There are several allusions to the Indiana Jones franchise in Read It and Weep and Daring Don't:
- The harp plucking that plays when Daring Do first enters the temple bears a strong resemblance to the music that plays in the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark, when Indiana Jones casually brushes spiders off of his back.
- The sunlight shining into the chamber is a reference to the map room scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark, where the sunlight shines on a crystal at the center of the room.
- The way Daring Do makes her way to the Sapphire Stone's pedestal mirrors a scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, where the titular hero navigates a trap floor by only stepping on the correct tiles.
- The scene where Daring Do retrieves the Sapphire Stone mirrors a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark, in which Indiana Jones retrieves an idol statue from a pedestal.
- In Daring Don't, Daring Do briefly makes use of a whip, the signature tool of Indiana Jones.
Nightmare Night costumeA layout artist for the show explained the similarity between Daring Do's outfit and one of the costumes featured in Nightmare Night which occurred in the episode Luna Eclipsed. In order to fill out the crowd scenes and due to time constraints, Daring Do's shirt was recolored and the outfit was then used as a costume, worn by the pony Berryshine. The shirt was recolored so that there were no future episode spoilers.[8]
Depiction in comicsOn page 22 of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #1 story The Return of Queen Chrysalis, Rainbow Dash says "I feel like Daring Do! A pony of adventure! We're off on a quest!" On page 6 of My Little Pony Micro-Series Issue #1, Twilight Sparkle mentions having "read Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Statue". An outfit with the same design and color scheme as Daring Do's outfit is worn by Rainbow Dash on the Hot Topic cover of Friendship is Magic Issue #6. On page 10 of the Friendship is Magic Issue #7 story, Daring Do appears with another pony in Rainbow Dash's imagination, and Rainbow Dash says "Aw, man! Daring Do would, like, make a crazy explosion out of, like, ducktape and Applejack's hair and boom! We'd be free!" in response to Applejack saying "I wish Daring Do was here to help us now."
On page 18 of Micro-Series Issue #7, a pony resembling Daring Do appears at the Ponyville Flea Market wearing a hat similar to Daring Do's pith helmet. A parade balloon of Daring Do appears on page 6 of the Friendship is Magic Issue #10 story. On page 8 of the Friendship is Magic Issue #11 story, a plaque reading "Daring Do" appears on a wall with other awards in Shining Armor's flashback; this unscripted[9] detail was added by artist Andy Price,[10] who has stated that it "could be 'the Daring Do Award', or something like that... Imagination comes into play :)"[11] and that "it could be a Daring Do Award for Authors... or an award for a book about the character rather than the DD series..."[12] A comic book featuring Daring Do appears being read by Spike on pages 1, 2, and 3 of Micro-Series Issue #9.
Daring Do appears in book pictures in cover B and the Hot Topic cover of Friendship is Magic Issue #15, and she herself appears in the issue's story. As Rainbow Dash assumes the role of Daring Do in the world of one of her books, the fictional Daring Do appears in Ponyville. Of Friendship is Magic Issue #16, an outfit with a similar design to and the same color scheme as Daring Do's outfit is worn by Rainbow Dash on a cover, Daring Do appears on cover RI, and the fictional Daring Do in Ponyville helps Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike before she is sent back. In Friendship is Magic Issue #19, a note in an alternate universe reads "Daring Do over here is Bravely Blue?" A picture of Daring Do appears in Phoenix Comics & Games (and Everfree Northwest) exclusive cover RE of Friendship is Magic Issue #20.[13]
Daring Do appears on page 3 of Friends Forever Issue #9. A book titled Daring Do and the Secret of the High Cholesterol Test appears on page 5 of Friendship is Magic Issue #28. A book titled Daring Do and the Legend of the Lost Art appears on pages 1, 2, 17, 18, and 22 of FIENDship is Magic Issue #5. Daring Do is alluded to throughout Friendship is Magic Issue #41, with multiple book titles mentioned on page 18.
In My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #32, Daring Do goes on a "perilous journey" with Fluttershy, and "it may be up to Fluttershy to teach Daring Do the meaning of bravery".[14]
Depiction in Rainbow Rocks
In My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, Spike is seen reading a Daring Do novel in Equestria.
A Daring Do Dazzle miniature collectible is included in the Daring Pony Story Set with Princess Twilight Sparkle and rainbowfied Rainbow Dash.[15] A Ponymania Fashion Style brushable toy of Daring Do Dazzle was leaked in April 2015. Daring Do/A.K. Yearling respectively appears on the Season 2 and season 4 posters.
Series 1 of Enterplay's trading cards includes a Mare Do Well & Daring Do card, #28. The back of the card shows their names both with trademark symbols. They are listed as a unicorn and pegasus, respectively. The description is divided into two paragraphs, one for each character, with Daring Do's reading "Daring Do is a treasure-hunting pony and the star of Rainbow Dash's favorite book series. Whether escaping crushing walls, a pit of snakes, or a giant rolling boulder, Daring Do is undeniably, unquestionably unstoppable!"
In Enterplay's collectible card game, α #152 R and α #ƒ40, cards of Ahuizotl, attribute to A.K. Yearling the quote "When writing a villain it's important that he comes to life as vividly in the reader's imagination as he does for the author." In the game's expansion set Canterlot Nights, #191 UR, a card of A. K. Yearling,[16] gives her the description "A.K. Yearling was once asked if she would ever write an autobiography. No one understood why she started laughing." In the game's expansion set The Crystal Games, #9 R and #ƒ5, cards of Daring Do, list the quote "Medusas... Why did it have to be medusas?", and #156 R, a card of Biff attributes to him and Daring Do the respective quotes "Running away, Daring Do? What are you, chicken?" and "Nopony calls me chicken..."
On August 19, 2014, Funko released a vinyl figure of Daring Do Dazzle.
Other depictions
HubNetwork.com description

Rainbow Dash is thrilled to discover that Daring Do is a real Pegasus who poses as reclusive author A.K. Yearling to write about her own real adventures.
My Little Pony mobile game descriptions
A Pegasus pony who hunts for treasure, Daring Do is adventurous, fierce, and undeniably, unquestionably unstoppable.
One of Equestria's most famous novelists, A. K. Yearling is the author of the best-selling "Daring Do" book series which includes such classics as "The Quest for the Sapphire Stone" and "The Griffon's Goblet".
Chapter books
Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell mentions in chapter 1, "A Crown Achievement", that Spike shows Twilight a book in her library, "Daring Do and the Trek to the Terrifying Tower", and that Twilight "had already read all the books in the series about the fearless pony adventurer at least three times." Spike uses the book to explain to Twilight that she should seek guidance about her new role as a princess from others with similar experience, as Daring Do seeks tips from "Professor A. B. Ravenhoof" about overcoming her fears.
In Rainbow Dash and the Daring Do Double Dare, "Rainbow Dash has always been a huge fan of the Daring Do series, but when the newest book comes out, it's Daring Do madness! The pony wants to prove she can be just a brave and 'daring' as her hero. Before she knows it, she becomes 'Daring Dash.[sic]' and is doing all sorts of crazy things—tightrope walking (no wings!), hot chili pepper eating, and even sneaking inside a spooky old barn. But when Rainbow Dash offers to help Zecora by entering a scary, haunted forest alone, her friends worry she's jumping into too much danger. Just how daring should one pony be?"[17]
A collection of three novels starring Daring Do entitled The Daring Do Adventure Collection was released on October 7, 2014.[18] The novels are credited to being written by A.K. Yearling but in reality are written by G.M. Berrow.[19] The book even includes an "about the author" about Yearling:
A.K. Yearling's adventure novels starring the fearless Daring Do have been recognized as the best-selling series in Equestria history. Yearling holds a degree in Literature from Pranceton University. After college, she briefly worked as a researcher at the National Archives for Equestrian Artifacts and Ponthropology in Canterlot. During that time, she wrote an essay based on her findings on the Griffon territories entitled "What was the Name of that Griffon Again? Or Beak and Roaming Studies Recalled." It was published last year by the University of Equexeter's journal, Pegasus. She enjoys quiet time at home alone and long trots on the beach.[19]

ZF-2831: Incorrect minimal required PHP version in README
README.txt file states in system requirements "Zend Framework requires PHP 5.1.4 or later" but according to issue ZF-1828 minimal required version is 5.2.1.
The minimum requirement for the complete framework is PHP 5.1.4
As behaviour in PHP itself is changed it can be that several special cases do not work or have to be reworked in a special PHP version. But this is always written in the manual.
So if there is a issue with a special PHP Version in a component of ZF it has to be documented, but this does not mean that the complete framework can only be used with this version.
This issue should have been fixed for the 1.5 release.
Changing to comply with new IT coventions for components.

Area Golf Notes - Landfall hits goal again in Labor Day fundraiser
Published: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 8:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 8:01 p.m.
The Country Club of Landfall extended its Patriot Golf Day tradition Monday, raising more than $54,000 through a golfing marathon.
Teeing off at dawn and finishing at dusk, the club's professionals played 793 holes.
Proceeds benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides scholarships and assistance for the families of soldiers who are disabled or killed in service. Founded in 2007 by Maj. Dan Rooney, Folds of Honor has awarded more than 3,800 scholarships. Rooney is a golf professional, course owner and F-16 pilot who served three combat tours in Iraq.
Landfall members pledged a per hole or flat amount, enabling the club to surpass its goal of $50,000. The club has been recognized as a Top 25 contributor to Folds of Honor each of the last two years and generated more than $100,000 during that time.
To donate or learn more, visit foldsofhonor.org.
Bell honored
Legendary instructor Peggy Kirk Bell will become the first woman in the Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame. A charter member of the LPGA, Bell is best known in the Carolinas as owner of Pine Needles Resort in Southern Pines, which played host to the U.S. Women's Open on three occasions since 1996.
She's a respected teacher, and was a terrific player winning the first LPGA Senior Ladies Championship and participating on a Curtis Cup team.
She'll be officially inducted on Feb. 16, 2014, at the Greensboro Coliseum.
Weather hurting business
If your favorite golf course appeared less crowded in July, it probably was.
Rounds played in July in North Carolina decreased 2.4 percent compared to July 2012 due in part to well-above normal rainfall amounts, according to PGA Performance Trak data.
The all-around wacky weather around the Mid-
Atlantic and Midwest regions this year has hurt participation and the bottom line at private and public clubs, according to the report.
North Carolina is one of 23 states where rounds played are down more than 10 percent from last year.
Take a shot at No. 2
Golfers hoping to play Pinehurst No. 2 before next summer's U.S. Open doubleheader have an opportunity via an event created to raise money for two groups that preserve the Sandhills' rich golf history.
The inaugural Pinehurst Hall of Fame Holiday Classic is set for Nov. 30 at No. 2, and entry is open to the public for a $350 fee. Proceeds benefit the newly developed Pinehurst Hall of Fame as well as the Given Memorial Library and Tufts Archives, which is home to a plethora of Donald Ross artifacts, including original course sketches.
A special optional overnight play & stay package has also been developed for those wishing to stay at the Pinehurst Resort following their round on No. 2. To register, call (910) 215-0587.

Karen Mills was a creature of Manhattan. She saw her children off to private schools, burned up Wall Street buying businesses and raised hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital as the cofounder of a private-equity fund. Then, in 2001, her husband, Barry, a partner in a law firm, was offered the presidency of Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine—population 14,816. "I'd love to do it," he told her.
Fair enough. Mills supported his dream but also clung to her own, reverse commuting to her job in New York. "There are 10 flights a day," she says, with the certitude born of having taken most of them.
But Maine began tugging at Mills. Shortly after the couple and their three sons moved into the college's 1806 Federal-style president's house, the naval air station in Brunswick was scheduled for closure. Then-Governor John Baldacci asked Mills for help in keeping the local economy from collapsing.
Mills suggested developing "clusters," geographic concentrations of interconnected businesses. Two such clusters—boat building and specialty foods— proved especially successful. The plan clicked for Brunswick, and the town clicked for Mills. "This is a place of extraordinary values," she says now. "Raising a family here has been a gift."
Mills's success both on Wall Street and in the Pine Tree State brought her to the attention of the Obama transition-team staffers. After the 2008 election, they approached her about heading the Small Business Administration (SBA).
"I hadn't had a job interview in 25 years," Mills recalls. "So I asked, 'Who is going to be in the room?' "
"The president-elect," a liaison answered.
Mills aced the 40-minute interview, outlining her position that the top priority of the SBA had to be getting capital into the hands of entrepreneurs. (The Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 is expected to inject $840 billion into the economy.) But she did make one misstep at the news conference announcing her appointment: She wore her standard New York black suit. "Here's a tip," she says. "In Washington, people wear color."
Mills also has advice for multitaskers: Carry three cell phones, especially if you work for an organization with a history of receiving subpoenas. "I am very careful to do only government work on my government phone," she says. "Then I have an iPhone, my personal phone. Then I keep an old Motorola flip phone for talking on while I look at one of the other two devices."

ZF-3783: SubControllers in default module create invalid helper prefix
Currently, when using sub controllers in the default module, a helper path based on the leading path segment is created, instead of using the default. For example:
application/views/helpers/SomeHelper.php would contain the class Zend_View_Helper_SomeHelper. If an action in Admin_FooController is invoked and the view calls the someHelper() helper, it will attempt to resolve it to Admin_View_Helper_SomeHelper and not find it.
Fixed in trunk and 1.6 release branch
This is still broken. I just checked revision 10525.
If you feel it is still broken, then I need a reproduce case. This should include the minimal amount of application structure necessary to reproduce the issue. I will re-open the issue once you have posted a reproduce case.
This is minimum setup for recreate of bug. Zip includes bootstrap and module Admin, View Helper and view scripts.
Unfortunately, you're using so many non-standard options, it's difficult to track down the issue.The combination of (a) not specifying a default module name (b) using non-standard paths in the ViewRenderer, and (c) not utilizing the error handler plugin is not helping unmask the problem. I'm attaching a tarball that does show the issue, however, using default settings for most cases.
Simplified example. Navigate to /admin/index/test to see the issue.
Re-marking as Zend_Loader issue. Fixed in trunk and 1.6 release branch.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

NAS Perc Panel Still Has Members with COI
A National Academies of Science panel looking into the effects of the chemical tetrachloroethylene, also known as perc, has at least two members who have taken corporate funding, a Center for Science in the Public Interest investigation has revealed. Panel-chair Samuel Kacew, a professor of pharmacology at the University of Ottawa, authored a 2005 report funded by the American Chemistry Council, the chemical industry trade group. The report, published (subscription required) in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, concluded that "there are very few chemical exposures at low levels for which sufficient data exist to state with confidence the link between levels of environmental chemicals in a person's body and his or her risk of adverse health effects."
In 2006, panel-member Bruce Alexander, an associate professor at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health, authored a study published (subscription required) in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology on the insecticide chlorpyrifos and the impact the chemical has on farm workers and their families. Funding for the study came from Dow, DuPont and the American Chemistry Council. Dow and Dupont both manufacture perc.
In September, CSPI sent a letter to NAS regarding the conflicts of interest of Richard A. Corley, a laboratory fellow at the Pacific Northwest Laboratory in Richland, WA. Corley previously disclosed he had taken funding from the American Chemistry Council and from the consulting firm Arcadis, which provides technical assistance to firms remediating the effects of perc, which is believed to cause damage to the central nervous system, kidney, liver and possibly the reproductive system. Corley was removed from the committee in October.
After NTP Review Shows Styrene Probable Carcinogen: Senators Go to Bat for Industry
The National Toxicology Program's Board of Scientific Counselors will meet Feb. 24 to discuss whether the chemical styrene is potentially carcinogenic to humans. In early December, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) sent a letter to then-director Samuel Wilson of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences requesting that the panel postpone the styrene debate until an industry-backed study could be completed and submitted as part of the review process. The study was forwarded to NTP in mid-December.
In June 2008, the Styrene Information and Research Center (SIRC), an Arlington, Va.-based organization with a board of directors composed of representatives from Shell, Chevron, Nova and Dow Chemical, wrote Wilson a letter requesting that the panel postpone a meeting scheduled in July. Jack Snyder, executive director of SIRC, claimed the panel was using outdated evidence; that SIRC was planning on contracting its own study of the chemical; and wanted the study included in the panel's deliberations. The NTP panel moved forward with the meeting, and in September released its profile of the chemical, which was open for public comment until October 23. In that profile, the panel recommended that styrene be listed as "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen."
After Senators Specter and Voinovich sent their letter to Wilson Dec. 5, SIRC sent another letter with a copy of its study. Led by Paolo Boffetta, a coordinator of the Lifestyle, Environment and Cancer Group at the International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon, France, the SIRC-funded study claims that it found "no consistent increased risk of any form of cancer among workers exposed to styrene." The International Agency for Research on Cancer, meanwhile, considers styrene to be a possible human carcinogen.
Styrene, a synthetic chemical used to manufacture plastics, rubber, and resins is already known to affect the central nervous system; exposure symptoms include headache, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, malaise, difficulty in concentrating and a feeling of intoxication, according to an Occupational Safety and Health Administration website.
DC Water Study Controlled by Utility
A report on water quality published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP) that assured District of Columbia residents that they had not been harmed by lead in their water is under investigation because of allegations that the author gave the city's water authority, which funded the report, final approval over release of data in the paper, the Washington Post reported. Lead author Tee Guidotti, who was a paid consultant for the DC Water and Sewer Authority and until recently a department chair at George Washington University's school of public health, was contractually bound by DC WASA to give the agency final approval over any material that "might have been proprietary," EHP editor-in-chief Hugh Tilson explained in a phone interview with the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "Publication or teaching of information specific to DC WASA, specifying DC WASA by name and directly derived from work performed or data obtained in connection with services under this Agreement, must first be approved by WASA in writing," the contract stated. Tilson asserts that if the allegations are proven, the agreement is a violation of the journal's policy on competing interests.
As a result, EHP will hold a meeting of its advisory board March 24 to determine the next step, which may include retracting the study. While Tilson asserts that EHP does not accuse Guidotti or DC WASA of manipulating the study data, and that Guidotti in fact disclosed he had a contract with the utility, there was no mention of controlling interest and, Tilson asserted, the guidelines for authors, which are published on the journal's website, clearly state that "authors must disclose potential competing financial interests."
The results of the study, which claimed there had been no health impact from the unprecedented concentrations of lead in the city's water from 2001 to 2004, has been challenged by another study published (subscription required) recently in the journal Environmental Science & Technology by another group of researchers who concluded that lead had spiked to harmful levels in the blood of hundreds of D.C. children and that thousands more children could have been harmed.
Pfizer to Publicly Disclose Payments to Doctors
Pfizer, the world's largest drug company, announced last week that it will start disclosing its payments to doctors for consulting, speeches and research, the Wall Street Journal and the trade press reported. Pfizer will report all payments to doctors of more than $500 for consulting and speaking arrangements and will also make public the money it pays them to participate in its clinical trials. This comes as momentum builds for the Physician Payments Sunshine Act of 2009, a bill Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) introduced last month which would require companies to report payments to doctors over $100.
Odds and Ends
Despite being touted as only a draft, a two-page report on the Medical School's conflicts of interest policy has been submitted to the University of Minnesota's ad hoc oversight committee for final review, according to the Minnesota Daily. Medical school dean Deborah Powell acknowledged that the final recommendations "will not please all," according to the Daily. ... Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced last week that he will begin to revamp the process for writing a new five-year plan for oil and gas exploration on the outer continental shelf and consider proposals for offshore wind farms alongside the plans for new drilling, the Washington Post reported. ... The same article reported that the Environmental Protection Agency will reconsider a Bush administration rule that made it easier for industrial plants, refineries and paper mills to expand operations without applying for new pollution permits. The rule said that when plants that were expanding or modernizing calculate their emissions to determine whether they need to install new pollution-control measures, they were not required to include emissions from unrelated activities at the same plant.

Are Women Photographers Being Discriminated Against in the Editorial Market?
A week ago editorial photographer and artist Daniel Shea published a post on his Tumblr, titled "On Sexism in Editorial Photography," hoping it would "initiate a broader conversation." Shea began the post with the disclaimer that he is "a white, cis male photographer" who didn't claim to speak for anyone but himself, before pointing out that, to him, "It would seem that the biggest magazines with the most hiring power hire mostly male photographers."
The post has generated nearly 550 likes and reblogs on Tumblr, as well as a number of comments.
Without naming names, Shea cites informal conversations with photo editors who offered some interesting explanations as to why a gender imbalance might exist. Some editors said they didn't know women photographers whose esthetic fit with their magazines. "To further complicate this issue," Shea continues, "one editor mentioned that most media, art and literature is made to fit a masculine perspective, and perhaps that's why men are more 'apt' at photographing that content."
Shea notes also that most photo editors are women; one editor floated the idea that women are "natural nurturers" of men. Shea says he's "skeptical" of that explanation. Instead, he suggests other reasons. One is that sexism in editorial photography is a microcosm. "Larger systems of oppression, like sexism and misogyny, replicate themselves very effectively on smaller scales," Shea wrote. (more…)

More: How did you get the idea for the movie?
Annie Howell: Lisa and I became friends at NYU film school when we realized that we had a very similar aesthetic. Over time, we came up with an idea for a web series about a woman who was a technologist. We were both fascinated with technology and felt that we hadn't seen a female tech-obsessed person in the way that we wanted to craft her.
Lisa Robinson: When we first started thinking about this idea, the iPhone had just come out and people were starting to feel close to their devices. We saw that there was some fun to be had, and we wanted to explore the relationships we have with our devices, as well as our relationships with others. We made the web series "Sparks," which was syndicated by the Sundance Channel, and people seemed to respond. We then decided to put the character into a more complex scenario with a longer dramatic arc.
More: What aspects of the film could the MORE reader relate to?
LR: A lot of women have interesting relationships with technology—it differs by generation. Some women have come to it later in their lives, while others have had it as part of their landscape all along.
At one screening there was a woman who'd had six children. After the film she said to me, "You know, every time I had a child—even my sixth one—I've still faced these feelings of uncertainty." I thought it was interesting that she related to the story even though it depicts a first-time mom. These are complex feelings that are part of the time where your body is going through biological processes and yet we live in this very sophisticated, tech-y world. The juxtaposition of the two is interesting to see.
AH: It has also appealed to women who don't have children. Just the notion of facing the unknown is so universal.
LR: The film is about searching. We wanted to make sure that the protagonist was looking for answers to her life struggles, even though she doesn't necessarily get the answers that she wants. She still went on a journey to get them.
AH: It was so fun to put a pregnant woman alone on the road. It was fun for us to portray pregnancy as something that's not just about swollen ankles and eating pickles. So many women have pregnancies where they are living life in a very normal way. I've never seen that before, where a pregnant woman is on solo journey for much of the story.
More: What's it like being a midlife woman working as a filmmaker?
AH: Like everything, it has its ups and downs. We both have MFAs in film. We each have made a number of short films that have been on the festival circuit worldwide. One really empowering thing about making this film was being able to do it on our own terms.
LR: It's nice to take control of the progress and to be our own mentors in a sense.
More: What can you do now as a filmmaker that you couldn't do in your 20s?
LR: The technology certainly has made things easier. It's very flexible, adept and inexpensive. We are in a very exciting time for filmmaking.
AH: Also, having had so many other life experiences—having children, establishing another career as a professor—I definitely feel more at ease and understand the context better.
LR: Perspective has shifted over time. I think this project has come out of our own life experiences. I'm not sure either of us would have written this story 15 to 20 years ago.
More: What would you say to other midlife women about following their creative passion?
LR: There used to be a lot of talk celebrating the youth of directors in film. More recently on the festival circuit, we've seen women making films that are quite successful—some who started their careers later in life. It's exciting and empowering to see women coming to directing in their late 30s or early 40s, or even after that. Some of the stories are really interesting because they may have a certain life experience behind them that we haven't seen on screen before. Women should feel encouraged that, if filmmaking is something that they want to pursue, there's opportunity out there.
More: What was it like to work with a friend on this project?
LR: Two brains are better than one. We're in a constant conversation. Those conversations that someone might have with herself, we have with one another. We have a ridiculous amount of communication on a daily basis.
AH: Probably more than with our significant others or our children.
LR: The amount of back and forth that we have has been really effective, creative and rewarding.
More: What's one funny thing that happened while you were making the film?
AH: We were so lucky that we didn't have any major difficulties on our road trip. The only time that I was seriously worried about something going wrong was when we left a bottle of champagne—for Anna Margaret [Howell, the film's lead actress]'s birthday—in a locked van in the 105 degree heat. I thought there was going to be champagne everywhere. It did not explode, remarkably. We had some tech god watching over us.
More: How do you juggle having children and a family with the demands of movie making?
AH: When I was in my 20s, I tried to be 110 percent at everything, but now I understand what's possible and what's not possible. That's the only way anyone can play multiple roles. Accepting that is very liberating and allows you to be very good at the one thing you are focusing on—but just that thing.
LR: I think there's no perfect solution; you juggle in the best way you can.

So maybe you can't judge a book by its cover, but you can tell a lot about people by the looks of their shoes.
MedicalDaily.com reports a study out of the University of Kansas finds that participants were able to correctly guess a shoe owner's personality traits (think income, age, political stance, agreeability) 90 percent of the time based on the color, cost, style and condition of that person's shoe.
"Expensive shoes belonged to high earners, flashy and colorful footwear belonged to extroverts, and shoes that were not new but appeared to be spotless belonged to conscientious types," according to the website, which adds that ankle boots point toward aggressiveness, flip-flops are preferred by liberals, practical shoes are usually worn by agreeable folks, and uncomfortable-looking shoes are chosen by calm personalities.
OK, next time we're feeling surly, we're summoning our inner calm by slipping on those five-inch stilettos we haven't been brave enough to wear out. We knew they'd come in handy at some point.

The hike to Donut Falls is a favorite among locals because it's a family-friendly trek with gorgeous scenery.
Distance: 1.5 miles, round trip
Elevation gain: 450 feet
Time: Approximately 1 hour
Trail: This is the perfect trail for summer. It's mostly flat and follows a stream much of the way. Many stop to soak their feet in the water. The trail ultimately heads straight in to the river, which you will follow up a tumbling hillside of rocks. Navigate your way carefully up to the falls. It's a bit slippery but well worth the effort. At the top, you can see the falls where they plunge through a rock face and in to a dark cave below.
Tips: Go early in the morning. After 9 a.m., the trail starts to get crowded. Be sure to wear your water proof hiking boots because if you make your way up to the falls your feet will definitely get wet.
Who you'll see: Parents, children, tweens, teenagers and college students out enjoying summer vacation.
How to get there: Drive nine miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Follow a sign to your right that directs you to the Jordan Pines Picnic Area. Drive along the unpaved road for a mile and you'll find yourself at the trailhead.
Apres-hike: Head to Porcupine Pub & Grille to sample one of their 24 beers on tap.

Even on the East Coast, I have heard tales of the wonder and delight about the See's Awesome Nut & Chew Bar. My friends out west all rave about it and I never understood what the fuss was about since I'd hadn't eaten one before. It wasn't until I read Cybele's review of the bar that I specifically began to crave it. My love of chocolate and good nougat just called to me in this bar, yet I dawdled in purchasing myself some. It was only this past summer where I located them in a See's store and bought a bunch to compensate.
The bar's wrapper describes it as "chewy nougat with almonds and honey covered in dark chocolate". I love the look of this bar, or should I saw the wrapper. The red is pleasing to look at, and the yellow lettering has a classic feel to it. The little bee is a whimsy element, and reminds me that I'm in for a real treat.
Unwrapped the bar is lovely. Long and slender with the dark chocolate looking glossy and flawless. The dark chocolate is perfect for this bar, and I'm glad they didn't decide to use a milk chocolate. It smells lightly sweet with nice notes of cinnamon, coconut, coffee, and cocoa.
The nougat is immediately impressive as you can really taste the honey in it. The almonds are crunchy and fresh. The bar's texture is a nice chew that's not flimsy, yet still soft so it's satisfying. You can tell the ingredients are pure, simple and combined to make something really out of this world. I know it's a short description, but it's accurate since the flavors are very straightforward and clean cut. It's simply something I suggest you to experience yourself.
I was able to by more of these back in December and everyone I shared them with were immediately addicted. Just a warning.
You have to be pretty darned confident to name a candy bar with "awesome" in it. This bar lives up to it's name. It's so good. It's a good thing I don't live in California otherwise I'd be eating these all day.

With EIVA Berth, First Place On Line, Tigers Ready for SFU, #13 Penn State
LIVE VIDEO l LIVE STATS l EIVA Q&A WITH SAM SHWEISKY l LEAGUE STANDINGS
The Princeton men's volleyball team will be looking to accomplish two major goals this weekend. The first will be to clinch a berth in the EIVA postseason before the calendar hits April; the second centers around the possibility of hosting the league championships for the first time.
Of course, with a goal that lofty, you know the biggest obstacle in the EIVA must be involved.
Second-place Princeton (9-6, 7-2 EIVA) will host both Saint Francis (8-13, 5-5) and No. 13 Penn State (15-6, 9-1) in a pair of matches that will go a long way in determining the league postseason race. The Tigers open the two-match homestand Thursday night (7 pm) against Saint Francis, and then return Friday night at 7 to take on the 13th-ranked Nittany Lions.
Let's take this one match at a time.
While the Penn State match will draw the major buzz around campus (and based on both the Dillon Gym environment last season against Penn State and this season against Harvard, that could be serious buzz), there is actually more at stake Thursday night against the Red Flash.
Princeton men's volleyball, even during its run to the 2010 EIVA championship match, has rarely taken the easy road to the postseason. Last season, the Tigers needed to win its final two matches, including one from an 0-2 deficit, simply to clinch the playoff spot. Princeton hasn't even posted a winning EIVA Tait/EIVA record since the 2003 season, but it can virtually clinch both with the win over Saint Francis.
A victory Thursday would give Princeton an 8-2 record in the league, while Saint Francis would fall to 5-6. If every other match went against the Tigers, they could still do no worse than matching 8-6 records with the Red Flash, and they would own the tiebreaker over Saint Francis due to a season sweep. (There is a scenario that could include multiple teams ending the season with 8-6 records, but it's highly unlikely, so we'll cross that bridge if we get to it.)
If Princeton can win Thursday, then it sets itself up for a major showdown with the dominant power in the EIVA. The 13th-ranked Nittany Lions have won every league title since Princeton's lone championship in 1998, and Penn State is currently atop the league standings once again.
Princeton has played a trio of memorable matches against Penn State since head coach Sam Shweisky took over prior to the 2010 season. The first came in the 2010 EIVA championship match, when the Tigers pushed Penn State for two thrilling sets before finally falling 3-0.
Then came the wild 3-2 Penn State win at Dillon Gym last season, when Princeton held eight match balls in a crazy 37-35 fourth set. Princeton hasn't defeated Penn State since the 1998 EIVA semifinal, and this was easily the closest any Tiger team has come since. Cody Kessel, en route to earning the EIVA Newcomer of the Year honor, had 25 kills in the win, while current senior captain Michael Dye had 15 kills and six blocks.
The first meeting this season was a close 3-1 Penn State victory in State College, though there were positives to take from that match as well. It was the first time Princeton took a set off Penn State on the road since (you guessed it) 1998, and it was a match when the outside combination of Pat Schwagler and Devin Stearns combined for 25 kills.
If Penn State defeats Princeton, it would lead the Tigers by two in the loss column and own the tiebreak, which would virtually eliminate Princeton from hosting the EIVA playoffs (April 25-27). If Penn State beats Princeton in five sets, the Nittany Lions would hold a half-game lead in the standings, but they would also own the tiebreaker based on aggregate sets played.
A 3-1 Princeton win would leave the two teams tied in aggregate sets, and a 3-0 victory would actually give Princeton the head-to-head edge. A Princeton sweep and a Saturday night loss for Penn State at George Mason would move Princeton to at least a share of first place in the EIVA race.
A victory Friday night would also give Princeton three ranked wins this season, which would match the program best (1998). This Tiger team has played more nationally ranked opponents than any Princeton team over the last decade, including a season-opening 3-1 win over UC Santa Barbara, which is currently ranked eighth nationally.
Princeton lost two road matches last weekend against ranked opponents, but it came back with a 3-0 sweep at Rutgers-Newark to move into a second-place tie in the league standings. The win earned Schwagler and Dye the EIVA Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week honors.

Kiddie Toys attends Toy Fair 2009
As part of merchandising effort, Kiddie Toys attended Toy Fair 2009 hosted in NYC, NY. Toy Fair, the biggest show in the Western Hemisphere for the toy and youth product industry, boasts over 360,000 square feet of exhibits, more than 100,000 products from over 1,200 companies.
From more than 100,000 products, the Toy Industry Association (TIA) announced the winners of the ninth annual Toy of the Year (TOTY) awards. The winning companies include Fisher-Price ('Elmo Live'), Playmobile USA ('Playmobil Horse Farm'), Spin Master ('Battle Brawlers Battle Pack Series 1 Spheres', 'Air Hogs Zero Gravity Micro', 'Brawlers Battle Pack Series 1 Spheres'), Bananagrams ('Bananagrams'), Crayola ('Crayola 3D Sidewalk Chalk', 'Crayola Color Wonder Magic Light Brush'), LeapFrog ('LeapFrog TAG Reading System'), Hasbro ('Biscuit My Lovin' Pup'), Faber-Castell ('Create Your Own Pop-Up Books') and Cartoon Network ('Bakugan Battle Brawlers').
In today's tough economy, retailers like Kiddie Toys has to get more creative in reaching out to customers and tighten our operation in order to stay profitable. A wrong strategy, or a wrong move will hurt businesses really bad in this tough economy, and could potentially force them into bankruptcy like the KB Toys. Kiddie Toys' current focus is to offer best-value products in the following categories: activity and outdoor toys, ride-on toys, pretend play, furniture and room decorations, and sporting goods. Our current aim is to offer physical activity toys that can help children develop cognitive and motor skills.

Fast Cars, Fresh Faces
The Party
You've already seen our Fresh Faces walk the runway, but this time around, Park Place Porsche ensured that the action would be a little... faster. The event, benefiting Echelon and themed Life, Intensified, also celebrated the arrival of Porsche's freshest face, the all-new Porsche Macan. Park Place Marketing Director Rob Sumner presented Echelon President Christina Geyer with a $10,000 check, bringing the amount raised through Fresh Faces of Fashion to more than $22,000!
The Scene
Events Moderne used their magical lighting to transform Park Place into an underground club, while Reyka vodka, Ancho Reyes chile liquor, Lillet, Krombacher beer and Manuscript wines kept the multiple bars busy. Lite bites from Dakota's and Dish restaurants were a lifesaver, as most missed their dinner reservations, and Roche Bobois' luxe lounge areas were a cozy respite. And between the Photomadic photo booth and DJ Paul Paredes' dance tunes, it was all smiles.
The Highlights
Of course, as usual, the highlight of the night is Stanley Korshak's fashion show. This year, models paraded down the catwalk in men's and women's summer fashions from Vince—all from The Shak. Who can argue with charity, fashion, cocktails and good music? –Photography by Kelly Alexander and John Sargent

The diary and letters of Dr. Baer open a window into a little -known aspect of the American Civil War. Caleb was born in Maryland and se rved in Missouri\, both of which were border states with divided loyalties . Caleb served initially with the Missouri State Guard\, a pro-Confederate force\, and later with Confederate States Army units from Missouri\, but his family members in Frederick County\, Maryland\, were staunch Union sup porters. The split within the family created by this difference of opinion was not overcome before Caleb's death in 1863. These never-before-publish ed documents show a human side to the Civil War\, including the toll the w ar took on families\, magnified through the always-changing fortunes of th e border states.\n

ZF-6883: getType, getName and getValue do not exist in Zend_Tool_Framework_Metadata_Dynamic
Fatal error: Class Zend_Tool_Framework_Metadata_Dynamic contains 3 abstract methods and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (Zend_Tool_Framework_Metadata_Interface::getType, Zend_Tool_Framework_Metadata_Interface::getName, Zend_Tool_Framework_Metadata_Interface::getValue) in /srv/myapp/trunk/lib/Zend/Tool/Framework/Metadata/Dynamic.php on line 107
Class is missing methods listed in its interface.
Ralph, how such error could have not been detected in release code? Two weeks ago there was include error in the same file (ZF-6499).
This is really poor code, since such errors can be very easily detected.
I think the 3 methods would be better to exists in Zend_Tool_Framework_Metadata_Interface.
and maybe I could work on it :)
This was fixed in r17483, and has been in 1.9 release.

Following my "it's not me, it's you, Salt Lake City" rant, I was given some advice by Dee, an obviously disgruntled SLC transplant/want-to-but-can't find love dater. Dee offered up a few suggestion on how to find love in the Salty City (or just meet people), provoking me to embark on a 'man-hunt' under her guidance. I figure if my own tactics aren't working it's time to try someone else's.
This weekend, I followed her first suggestion: "I like lingering and chatting at the farmers market (introverts need to eat well too - oh and talk to the vendors, sometimes they're the owners!)"
So I did just that.
I thought I'd try my hand outside of the City this weekend and headed up the canyon to the Park Silly Sunday Market. I took the essential wing-(wo)men with me on the journey: my mom and my brother's girlfriend, Emily.
Park City boasted all shapes, sizes, and ages of viable options. I realized that I shouldn't limit myself to one "type" so I made it an effort to talk to a variety of potential men. Once again, following Dee's advice, I dropped my 'standards' and followed the Dee evaluation chart:
"do they have a job? car? do they live in their car? do they have any friends? hobbies? are they depressed and looking for a life saver? do they have a drug problem?"
Without further ado, here are the Bachelors of Park City:
The Bachelor: Max, the Austrian Import The place: Volker's Bakery Job: Check. The anti-atkins promoter. Car: Does a bread van count? Potential: Didn't speak much English, which could be a plus: fights and disagreements are virtually impossible. Also, he can bake, which means my cooking duties would dwindle. Who doesn't want to be force fed carbs by a beautiful foreign man with blue eyes and an accent? Yeah, big points for Max. AND I got his number. All I had to do was buy a loaf of (omg, delicious) bread to strike up a conversation. Cost: $6 for a loaf of doughy, carby goodness. So worth it.
The Bachelor: The other-side of the Anna-Nicole relationship. The place: Main Street, admiring a pretty sweet ride. Job: Retired. Car: He swore the motorcycle was his, the bi-focals and bedazzled leather seats said otherwise. Potential: Low, he seemed to be much more interested in my mom. Cost: My dignity, not even an 84 year-old man would hit on me. Ouch.
The Bachelor: Tristan, the artsy one. Job: Graphic artist / apparel designer for Toaster. Basically he spray paints sunglasses with neon paint. Car: I forgot to ask, but I imagine he drives a once white van now covered in neon splatter. I don't know how my dad would feel if he rolled up in that to take me out. Potential: Medium. He's a bit of an 'entrepreneur' with his own business and staff so maybe he's not looking for a girlfriend right now. Nevertheless, I struck up a conversation about his product and he was more than happy to chat, take pictures, and give me his business card. Cost: $5 for a paint splatter beer koozie that my mom said looked like something she drank from in the '80s. Vintage, nice.
The Bachelor: The 'sugardaddy' whose name I forgot. Sorry! Job: Works for Yellow Snow Ice Cream, a local PC biz. Car: Ice Cream Truck. Potential: Low. I've got a sweet tooth, which would make it a match made in heaven, and he was quite friendly, but, in all honesty, his interest in chatting with me/mom/Emily was fairly low, which made me assume that he was engaged/married. Oh well, the attempt wasn't a complete loss, the ice cream rocked. Cost: $3 for a cup of Dulce de Leche ice cream. Perfect, since all women know that single-dom and ice cream go hand-in-hand.
All-in-all the Farmers Market was a success. Dee was right, it's an easy place to strike up a conversation. I may not have found my one true love, but I did meet some interesting prospects, got a few numbers/emails, and bought local. Good start to the 'man-hunt'.
Stayed tuned, my next stop involves Scotch...

Last Friday, Adam Lanza took several guns from his mother's house, which led to the Sandy Hook massacre.
Now, some legislators are looking to outlaw assault weapons.
If you are a gun owner, there are some ways to keep your guns safe.
As big game hunter, Tom Baker explains, gun safety starts inside of your home.
"All of my fire arms are always kept in locked safes. You know, I have five children, I have five grandchildren, and I have guests over to my house all the time to visit my trophy room, and you will never see a firearm for access," Baker says.
Baker says it is the gun owner's responsibility to ensure all guns are locked away.

Belgium continues to be an active partner in promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights
Belgium is an active player in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Not only through policy initiatives of the federal government and the federated entities, but also through the Belgian Development Cooperation, which places a great deal of importance on sexual and reproductive health and rights.
On 1 and 2 July, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Regional Commission for Europe (UNECE) jointly organised an International Conference on Population and Development in Geneva. The theme was "Enabling choices: population priorities for the 21st century".
This conference took place in the framework of the Programme of Action in the area of population and development approved in Cairo in 1994. This Programme of Action covers topics relating to population and development such as population dynamics, sustainable development, sexual and reproductive rights and health, social inclusion, etc. Belgium is an active participant in the programme.
Since the adoption of the Programme of Action in Cairo, Belgium has proved to be a strong and dedicated partner in the subject area of population and development. Attached you will find the speech given by Belgium on this matter during the conference in Geneva. It highlights the country's proactive policy orientation in the area of sexual and reproductive rights and health, both domestically and in the framework of Belgian foreign policy and Development Cooperation initiatives.

Allows professional qualified equipment will be with the properties of the corresponding occupational what?
Travis: Professional qualification of equipment are sometimes caught in a very awkward position. For example, if you play your hunting the people on the ground to find a rare quiver, identification, wow! Plus 300 strength. At this time you may want to (or even surprised to shout out) "how is this possible!"
Although we believe that randomness is very important game for the Diablo series, but we also agreed to let the players feel a great equipment soon. Equipment with a lot of their players worthless property, except for d3 gold
, no problem - but most of the equipment should feel they are at least useful for some people.
