A landowner in a tucked-away section of Old Town wants to proceed this year with a project touted as an environmentally friendly residential development that will benefit Park City not-for-profit organizations at the same time.
The project, in the Rossi Hill neighborhood, has been dubbed Echo Spur. Work on the infrastructure had started previously, but there was a consolidation in ownership via a buyout of one of the partners in the meantime. Sean Kelleher and his wife Margaux Kelleher control the firm that owns the property. They are based in Miami.
The landowner wants to develop between six and eight residential units on a street that had been built for the project. The street, perhaps, will be named Echo Spur Drive. The residences would be built to look as if they are houses, but they will be connected with an underground garage. Each of the residences will have upward of 3,000 square feet of living space.
"Our goal is to construct beautiful homes that are comfortable, sustainable, low maintenance and wise financial decisions," Kelleher said in a prepared statement outlining the project.
He envisions a mix of full-time residents and vacation-home owners will buy at Echo Spur.
The landowner is engaged in talks with City Hall about the project. Another meeting with the Park City Planning Commission is scheduled on Feb. 27. The Planning Department does not anticipate a vote by the panel until late in the spring or early in the summer.
Kelleher wants Echo Spur developed with a number of environmental features. The residences will be outfitted with super-insulated frames and solar panels to generate electricity and heat water. He said the energy generated with the solar panels could be shared between the residences since they are connected. A heating and cooling system that taps the internal heat of the Earth, known as geothermal, could be installed. Kelleher said the developers want to "minimize nonrenewable energies."
The landowner, meanwhile, wants to benefit Park City's not-for-profit organizations. Kelleher said Echo Spur will donate 1.5 percent of the sales of the lots to the Park City Foundation, an organization that assists other area nonprofits. Kelleher said there have been talks between Echo Spur and the Kimball Art Center about space in the project for someone participating in an artist-in-residence program. He said an apartment, perhaps approximately 475 square feet, could be built atop an Echo Spur entry building and be offered with rent subsidized.
"My constituencies are not just the people who buy the homes," Kelleher said in an interview.
Nearly four years ago, a dispute unfolded between Echo Spur, City Hall and people who live in the vicinity of the project. The discussions at that time centered on roadwork and the condition of the site. Park City officials and the people who live nearby were frustrated with the progress. City Hall at one point ordered a halt to the roadwork.

Why is Rihanna desirable?
At the end of 2013, Rihanna broke the record for most No. 1 pop songs. That's no surprise to fans of the Barbadian superstar, who has been named the sexiest woman alive by more than one men's magazine. Also notable: she can twerk upside down (see the "Pour It Up" video for proof).

Freshman Wins, Fly Dominance, Help Push Women To Big Lead At Brown Invite
Freshmen Beverly Nguyen and Sada Stewart each earned individual victories during Saturday's second day of the Brown Invitational, and it helped the Tigers build a sizable lead heading into the final day of the event.
Princeton currently has 723 points, well ahead of second-place Yale's total of 569 points. Brown is third with 436, while Dartmouth is fourth with 396.
Princeton opened the evening session with a tight second-place finish in the 200 medley relay. The quartet of Lisa Boyce, Sarah Furgatch, Carter Stephens and Nikki Larson finished in 1:42.06, less than two-tenths of a second off Yale's winning time.
Tiger freshman Beverly Nguyen won the 400 IM in 4:18.58, while teammate Rebecca Lewinson added a 'B' final win of her own in 4:27.48.
The Tigers loaded up the 100 fly final, and while none could top Yale's Alex Forrester, Princeton added huge points in the event. Boyce (53.47) and Stewart (53.47) went 2-3 in the event, followed immediately by Larson (54.32), Stephens (54.73) and Morgan Karetnick (55.11). Nguyen even followed up her win in the 400 IM by reaching the 'A' final, where she finished eighth in 56.36.
Senior Jillian Altenburger was Princeton's lone finalist in the 200 free, and she took third in 1:49.74. Fellow senior Furgatch added a third-place finish in the 100 breast (1:04.42), while Sarah Liang won the 'B' final in 1:05.39.
Stewart challenged reigning Ivy League champ Boyce in the 100 back final, and it was the freshman who came up with the victory Saturday night. Stewart won the event in a B-cut time of 54.20, while Boyce finished second in 54.81, which also hit the B-cut mark. Shirley Wang added a third-place finish in 55.41.
The 800 free relay squad of Larson, Elizabeth McDonald, Altenburger and Stewart won in 7:21.32, while divers Rachel Zambrowicz (231.35) and Randi Brown (226.30) barely missed the A-final in the 1-meter competition.
Princeton will conclude the Brown Invitational Sunday, with preliminaries starting at 10 am and finals starting at 5 pm.

Mark Piker, MD, joined Valley Neuroscience Institute in 2007 as the Medical Director of the Headache Clinic. He is a fellowship-trained, board-certified neurologist, with more than ninety percent of his practice dedicated to the diagnosis and management of headache disorders. Besides headaches his other subspecialty interest is multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Piker believes that there are various physiological, psychological, and genetical factors that influence the frequency and the severity of headaches; lifestyle choices and personal response to the daily environment affect headaches as well. His approach to the treatment of headaches consists of (a) proper diagnosis of the headache, (b) identifying potential headache triggers, (c) modifying and possibly eliminating triggers, (c) combining non-pharmacological, pharmacological, and cognitive-behavioral modalities for a treatment success.
Dr. Piker performs trigger point injections, occipital nerve blocks, botulinum toxin injections. and treatment of acute intractable headache during clinic working hours. He tries to avoid multiday hospitalizations for intractable headaches; instead, Valley Medical Center's Infusion Center may be used to help break the cycle of runaway pain with intravenous infusion of certain medications.

Michael Previti, MD, received his medical doctorate at the University of Massachusetts after obtaining his undergraduate degree in the biological basis of behavior from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Previti completed his internship and neurology residency at the University of Washington, as well as a vascular neurology fellowship. He served two years as a neurohospitalist in Winston-Salem North Carolina at Forsyth Medical Center. During that time, Dr. Previti actively met with community groups to help spread the word about stroke prevention and symptom recognition.
"I believe that public education, in addition to motivating providers to participate in a team-based approach for acute stroke care and creating and maintaining an efficient system of care for our acute and sub-acute stroke patients, can have a significant, positive impact on the community," he says. When he's not working, Dr. Previti enjoys photography, traveling, skiing and spending time with friends and family.

Paparazzi Agencies First to Demand Improved iPad App Compensation
Several agencies that supply celebrity photographs taken by
paparazzi to People magazine have banded together to demand additional compensation for the use of photographs in People's forthcoming
iPad app, according to Hollywood Reporter.
The entertainment trade publication says the negotiations
are delaying the release of People's iPad app, an assertion Time, Inc., owners
of People, deny.
"Photo agencies are taking a keen interest in the iPad
because while online usage of their snapshots commands a fraction of what their
fees earn from print usage, they recognize the potential for the tablet market
to be a game-changer," the article says.
If a recent study commissioned by a consortium of publishers
that includes Time, Inc. is to be believed, the tablet market could drive $3
billion in revenues by 2014. According to a report published yesterday by Folio,
digital consortium Next Issue Media, which includes Condé Nast, Hearst,
Meredith, News Corp. and Time Inc., hired a consulting firm to evaluate the
demand for tablet subscriptions. The firm found that the tablet market for
newspapers and magazines could create $3 billion in revenue.
If the market for tablet editions of publications does realize this potential, photographers and their agents are likely to press publishers to negotiate additional compensation for tablet usage over the next few years.

Transportation Technology Education Complex Grand Opening and VIP Reception
College of Marin invites more than 500 regional industry specialists to the May 13 Grand Opening
Thursday, May 13
3:30–5:30 p.m. – Tours, Demonstrations & Light Refreshments
RSVP to email@example.com by May 10
"This project would not have been possible without the generous support of community members who voted yes on Measure C in 2004," said College of Marin Superintendent/President Frances L. White, Ph.D. "We are very grateful for the community's support and are excited about opening these new doors to learning opportunities for our students," said White.
The new center is expected to receive a Silver LEED certification rating for its outstanding energy-saving features. The first Measure C project, the Diamond Physical Education Center on the Kentfield campus, opened in fall 2009 and recently received LEED Gold certification for its top sustainability features.
"The students who are coming into our program will have the benefit of the newest technology and the newest tools that are used by technicians in this industry," said Nanda Schorske, dean of Workforce Development & College-Community Partnerships.
The new Transportation Technology Education Complex includes two separate renovated buildings with a new connecting structure that houses faculty offices. An indoor/outdoor terrace provides space for class meetings and other activities. The Auto Collision & Repair facility has two full-size paint booths, auto body repair stations and dual welding stations. The second building houses engine and transmissions repair bays and a combination small components lab/smart classroom. Auto bays include computerized scissor lifts, transmissions and engine dynometers.
The Transportation Technology Education Complex was paid for by Measure C Bond funds, which were approved by voters in 2004. HKIT Architects, Oakland, California was the architectural firm that designed the state-of-the art-facilities. Alten Construction, Richmond, California was the firm in charge of construction. Swinerton Management & Consulting, San Francisco, California served as construction and program manager for the project. Also, special thanks to V-Anne Chernock, COM's director of Modernization for her work in facilitating the project.

This is a popular trio but the salad above was a last minute what's on hand even though some of it looks sorta used up kinda concoction. And it was delicious. I'm an impulsive person and I cook that way too. I add ingredients I believe in and they don't always make the mark; they're not always the exact touch I'm looking for, but here, I'm happy to say the little dalliance in the kitchen at lunchtime evolved into perfection.
I had two dried up husks of fresh Ontario corn in the fridge. I also had a tupperware of thawing from frozen cooked from dry chickpeas. There were 2 roma tomatoes in the fruit bowl. And I had a fabulous verdant bunch of fresh basil with its stems rotting in a vase. So I got down and dirty.
I husked the corn and broke off the end bits that had started to turn brown. I carved off the kernals and added them to a bit of water in a sauce pan to boil/steam. As the corn bubbled up and began to cook, I added in the chickpeas. Heck, warm chickpeas, if you've ever eaten Indian food, are delicious. I tossed the mixture for a few minutes while I diced up the tomatoes, and washed and chopped a good healthy handful of fresh basil. I drained the corn/chickpea mixture and let it sit to cool for a few minutes. And then I tossed everything together with a teaspoon of fennel seeds, some good coarse sea salt, a few red chili flakes, a bit of white balsamic vinegar and a drizzle of good old fashioned extra virgin olive oil.
It was still slightly warm. Crunchy, sweet, earthy with that delicious tang of basil and the mysterious bite of anise. Not everyone likes fennel seeds and you could easily leave them out but they added a whole new depth of charge to something otherwise utterly simple.
Roma tomatoes could be substitued with field tomatoes, yellow Ontario plum tomatoes, grape tomatoes, vine tomatoes. Whatever suits your fancy.
Fresh corn is always superior to canned or frozen corn.
You could add feta or mozzarella or strips of grilled chicken.
You could top a plate of ribboned romaine lettuce with this mixture and then add skewers of grilled meat or fish and vegetables.
It's easy, marvelous, and magical. And here in Ontario we're lucky to go with the flow and have that rapid bring us something abundant each season. And the harvest of the seasons work together so well on so many levels it's impossible not to get addicted to a rhythm of exploration. So get at it.

Fit in the First State is brought to you by the team at ATI Physical Therapy, a nationally-recognized physical therapy and sports medicine provider with over 200 locations nationwide and 24 right here in the First State. From stretching programs to exercise routine tips, our team brings you valuable health and fitness-related posts to help you get there to reach your health goals.
As winter months give way to longer days and warmer temperatures, bikers everywhere are gearing up for some spring cycling. Whether you're a champion cyclist, a triathlete, or just a recreational biker, it's important to know how to prevent injuries to ensure that you get the most out of your spring training.
Kevin Calvey, the clinic director at ATI Physical Therapy in Middletown, DE clinic, offers these tips to practice bike safety.
Change position on bicycle every ten minutes. Move slightly on the saddle, move the hands to either a new position, or just unclench and move the hand to a slightly different place on the grip.
Proper seat height is very important, but you should err on the short side. (An easy rule of thumb is if you can rest both feet on the ground at the same time while still sitting on the saddle, the seat is too low. This is the most common problem in amateur/weekend warrior cycling.)
Choose a bike saddle that is level to the ground when measured with a bubble level. (Cyclists commonly tilt the saddle nose down a tad which not only causes big problems for the hands and shoulders, but also for the knee. A saddle tilted up will cause pudendal neuralgia. (If that doesn't sound bad, look it up!)
Make sure you have the right size bike frame. (It's not uncommon to be sold or to buy a frame without knowing that it's actually the wrong size frame. To learn how to measure and find the right bike frame size, visit Keep biking injuries at bay with these safety tips.)
Remember the importance of reach. (Reach is another aspect of frame size that can cause severe wrist, hand, and neck pain. The "stem," which is the part that connects the bike front fork (steering tube) to the handlebars, is a standard length for the size frame it's on. This part should be swapped out for a shorter one if you have a shorter torso or a "higher rise" version if you have a history of low back pain.)
Be sure to have adequate "float" for clipless pedal systems. (If you use clipless pedal systems, make sure the system has adequate "float" to allow for natural rotations in the lower leg bones while the knee goes through its cycle of motion.)
Maintain high cadence (rpm) regardless of grade. (To put it simply -- change gears often. Another very common flaw in cycling is to choose higher gears and push really hard to go fast, usually keeping a cadence or pedal turning frequency of 60 RPM. A far more appropriate and safe way is to choose a lower gear and pedal faster in the range of 90-100 RPM.)
Padded shorts can really make a difference. (If you're not comfortable with spandex, they sell "normal" short looking versions with the bike shorts inside. As long as your bike is not WAY off in terms of size and set up, this is the single best thing you could do to increase your comfort and safety on a bike.)
Limit weekly mileage increases to 10%.

Posted by Glenn Lazzaro for his series "Adventures in Television"
Several of the spots in this promo break came from the edit rooms at National Video Center. NBC producers Tim Miller and Don Duncan usually had one or two rooms going at any given time in those days. I worked on the "Real Life with Jane Pauley" promo in this break. As a bonus, I also got my first chance to shoot film.
Tim and Don had hired a documentary film crew to shoot "real-life scenes" of America for Pauley's show open. For the promo, they wanted to intercut the open with an in…Continue Reading

ZF-12356: Zend_Loader's loadFile() method always returns true.
On the page http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…, it says that the loadFile() method "returns boolean FALSE on failure, for example if the specified file does not exist." This appears to not be the case. As far as I can tell, the loadFile() method always returns true.
Patch added.
The above patch fixes the documentation, but, if possible, I think it would be better to have the loadFile() method return TRUE or FALSE, as the original documentation says.
Warnings could be suppressed by using {{@include}} and {{@include_once}}, but I'm not sure how we would check to see if the file had been successfully loaded. We could do something like this:
if((@include $file_name) === false) { return false; } return true;
But if the included file has code in it to return false, then this will fail. I'm not sure if there's a proper way to check for failure to include files, though, as I don't think surrounding it in a try/catch block would work, either.
Also, how do I attack a patch? I don't see anywhere to do that :\
Updated documentation to match reality as we won't be slowing down loadFile().

I blew out the cuff rivet in my Head boots so they're toast. My current boots that I pulled from the attic are fives old. The buckles no longer adjust and the heel and toe are shaved down from miles of parking lot pavement. Some people can wear the same boots for 20 years but that's only if they don't beat them up like I've done to mine. Ski technology, on the other hand, makes it crazy not to invest in a new ski every few years. Manufacturers just keep getting better and better.
Just about every ski shop in the state is taking inventory for blowout sales that have already begun. Cole Sport in Park City had theirs on Tuesday. Gotta clear the floor to make room for 2012 gear. But I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if you're planning to buy new and bargains aren't important, hold off until you demo the new stuff. Alta will have their annual Spring Demo Day Saturday, April 9, from 8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. where you can try out any pair of next year's skis for free. All you need is a pair of boots and a credit card for collateral.
If this season was the year of the rocker, next season will be the year of restraint. Look around this year; people were riding super fat skis turned up in the tip and tail to the point that it looked like they were skiing on bananas. Next season, they've dialed in (and down) the technology. The majority of big mountain skis will be stiffer with less rocker. I checked it out for myself in January when the Western Winter Sales Rep dealer demo converged on Snowbasin Resort.
The storm had finally delivered on Day 2 so that we could test the fatter skis on terrain they were meant for. Maybe it wasn't two feet of new at Snowbasin but we'll take the six inches. It's six inches more than the barren start we had the day before. Not to mention that Snowbasin has got to be one of the best resorts for ski testing. You grab your pair from the booth, ski down to the Needles Gondola, and do a giant lap back down to the event. In between, you can hit all of the necessary terrain- groomers, off-piste, moguls, ice, trees, chutes and bowls. You forget how versatile and exciting The Basin is when you haven't skied there in a while.
The energy was there too as hundreds of retail shop owners and their employees all along the intermountain region showed up to test next year's gear. The annual event culls these guys (and girls) for two days of testing 2012 skis, boots, boards, goggles, helmets, and ski poles. What they see and like they (hopefully) buy and you in turn will purchase.
But the hardpack conditions and nuking winds put a slight damper on the testing mojo for Day 1. Ski techs spent almost as much time holding up their canopies as they did adjusting bindings. Not the best conditions for testing the slew of models returning to the market for 2011/12.
[caption id="attachment_16896" align="alignnone" width="525" caption="Oops."][/caption]
Personally, I like to have two pairs of skis. One all-mountain pair to dance between groomers, powder and crud and one big mountain pair- strictly for the days when the snow's boot deep or above.
But for most lay skiers, the goal might be to find a "one ski quiver"- that's where you have one ski you use for every condition. With that in mind, I hopped on a pair of White Dot Preachers.
The high-end boutique ski is all the rage in Europe and it's beginning to find a following here in the U.S. Even pro skier Jeremy Nobis ditched long-time sponsor Dynastar to ride these. Apparently, they are bomber- holding up even under the toughest stomp.
The Preachers were the fattest pair of sticks I skied during the demo. At 112mm underfoot, it skied solidly and turned easily on the groomers (albeit the turn radius was HUGE). The White Dot One is 89mm under foot but plays well with the other fat kids.
This season, K2 threw rocker into every ski in their line- down to the juniors and beginner skis. Next season, they've gone and revamped everything all over again. Their "Side" skis generated the most buzz.
Volkl, too, has redesigned their line. The once-popular Gotama got a ton of rocker this season but will lose most of it for next season while the Mantra and Aura get rocker in the tip and less shape. The AC series is gone. It's now the RTM (Ride The Mountain) ski for frontsiders who want to dabble in off piste snow. The series has just a smidge of tip and tail rise.
The boys at Line have remodeled the P-90 and 100, flattening the tip and tail and whittling the width of the 100 slightly, to 98. They've added a 105 model as well.
Personally, I liked that they are one of the few companies that shied away from violent twisted graphics. There will be a lot of UGLY skis on the hill next year. The women's Rossignol S7 is an enigma. I can't think of any woman that would enjoy looking down at her feet to see a Geisha-like girl with a lockbox at her crotch and a purple snake tail teasing the keyhole, and a skull with pink flowers. Nordica has a pair of skis that look like a psycho clown. Yuck.
Nordica's FireArrow line, however, is gorgeous. If you're looking for a playful frontside ski that will rip up the groomers you can't go wrong with the Conqueror.
Salomon's big news is the BBR. No, this isn't a tribute to Justin Beiber but to Bertrand ("Beber") Krafft who invented it. It wasn't my cup of tea at all but I can see where intermediate skiers who spend all day skiing with their heels (or what we instructors call the backseat) will fall in love with it. You can ski for yourself on April 2 when the Salomon BBR Tour Finale Wrap Party hits Alta Ski Area. In addition to music and athlete appearances, Salomon will demo and raffle BBR skis, Rocker2 skis and Alta season passes. And when skiers demo a BBR ski, they'll get food and drink vouchers and entry in the Snow Games. Are you any good at snow volleyball, tug-of-war and three-legged races? I need a partner. The party starts at 9:30 a.m. in the Wildcat Base Area.
So to sum up next year's stuff: it looks like rocker or early rise is now the accepted design but it's been toned down for next season. The skis are still big but they have sidecut and camber. Reverse camber hasn't paid off this year so most companies ignored it for next season. The bottomline is that it doesn't matter. Every manufacturer is dialing in their products so if you're in the market for a new pair of skis you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Just make sure you testdrive your choice first to make sure you have the right length and feel that suits you best.

Who Wants One?
Latest News
Who Wants One?Posted byMay 11, 2011Filed under:1672
I want one!!! and my favorite song... (not easy to narrow it down to one) but it'd have to be fighters. Really influential song when i first heard it and helped me get through some tough times
"Kick Push", because i love cruisin' on my longboard and chillin to some of the best hip-hop lyrics ever made
My favorite Lupe song is "Little Weapon." The drumbeat is irresistible, but it doesn't get in the way of really important lyrics, which have stayed in my head ever since I heard it a few years ago. I think it does a genius way of showing in some ways how different but in other ways how similar certain societal trends are, and overall how tragic and ludicrous it all is. Like the best Lupe songs, it pulls no punches--plus, the wordplay with the controller buttons in the third verse ("I tell him he work for CIA with A") is awwwesome.
SLR, one of his tracks promoting his newest album Love Always Shines Everytime Remember: Smile. I am in love with Lupe's lyrical genius so it's hard to choose which of his many songs that I place at the top of my fav list. BUT, I choose this one, because its a testament to how he needs to be recognized for his talents, but "they treat [Lupe] like an outcast." His goal is to sit on the globe like north pole. And that's where he deserves to be. Ayyy!! #LupeAllDay
Till i get there... The song helps me when I'm down or I feel like people don't support me. I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing, be true to myself, and I'll get where i need to be.
GHETTO STORY (STEADY MOBING) nuff said Ha, It dont get any realer than this. If I was to write a book or a memoir about my life itll be based off this song right here. I can go and ramble about how that song changed my life, still to this day that one message stuck to my head and it goes like " At his wake, 8th Grade Graduation picture Last words: Dont let the habitation get ya" and the hook to that song was powerful for young man like me "Seein with my ghetto eyes I walkeded with my ghetto feet I talkeded with my ghetto speech Im copasetic, I wont let it bring me down Bring me down" what can i say, i hope we learn more than how to be whores, and, how to move a ball. "
Mine is def. Words i never said. It is a great song! Its so loud inside my head. it reealy speaks to me and it has such a great message lupe i love u man Lupe Lupe Lupe Lupe Lupe Lupe Lupe Lupe Lupe Lupe Lupe v Lupe Lupe Lupe
My favorite song is "Kick, Push" because it's the song that introduced me to Lupe Fiasco. Still to this day when I hear that song it brings back memories of what it was like back then. Good times.
After having all 3 Albums.. I Would Have to Say "Out of My Head". Honestly it has this differnt sound to it. It's Chill and Mellow, But it still has that "LUPE" Flair to it. When it comes to songs about the 1 special someone, This is THE SONG! I Listen to it everyday. The song Is telling a story about His one in only and How nothing matters in life, Only you and that One Special someone. Day in and day out, for better or worse.. I Can't Get You Out of My Head.
Never Forget You featuring John Legend. It is my favorite song, mainly because of my father. I am sixteen years old, and I have a bad relationship with him. He was actually just hospitalized last night due to a burst cyst on his kidney. This is due to Polycystic Kidney Disease. It is one of the only similarities shared between my father and I.That one similarity will tie us together for eternity, and I can never forget that. Another way in which I can relate to this song is because of my mother. She is currently in a battle with cancer. I do not know if she will even make it. She has done so much for me, I could never forget her. This song actually brought tears to my eyes when I heard it, because there are monumental people in my life that I will never, ever, be able to forget. Lupe is also one of my inspirations. I was eleven years old when I first started rapping. I rapped about mainstream topics, specifically the girls (that I could never pull) and the money (that my family never had). It was all a lie. Lupe is one of the main reasons that I changed what I rap about. I actually became a conscious rapper in 2009, and I have been going strong ever since. Now, I rap about politics, corruption, problems with females, and much more. Even though it can be fun rapping about big stacks of paper and supermodel girls, when you look at rap from a philosophical view, other things are much more important. p.s. I would LOVE to get on a song with Lupe. That would be a dream come true.
Last one, 'Dedicated'. Fell head first in love of this song the first time I heard it. I love how in one verse he is talking about his girl (I assume), mother, and a muslim lady. I am not a muslim but I have friends who are. And I see the struggles they go through with just being who they are. I love how Lupe speaks about that in his song...the complexities and even at times the sudden urges to want to assimilate entirely to fit into the norms of American society. I love that he speaks of the beauty of them. I wish more people would listen to this song. Btw, here are my favorite lines of the song: ?Them scarves don't cover no scars They guard from the stare of ours. God willing, they can see the gardens Sometimes concealing is hard 'specially when you're living in a place like ours ?
words i never said. normally i dont like songs that are really popular, they tend to be overrated. of course, with lupe its different, because all of his songs have such deep meaning. this song in particular is inspirational. it encourages people from our generation to stand up for what they believe in, to stand up against injustice, to stand up against lies, to stand up against fear, and to speak their mind. we need more songs like this from artists like lupe to encourage a new movement of love.
It's hard to choose just one song because I love all of them, but I Kick, Push is my all time favorite because it reminds me of living in Los Angeles and seeing all the skaters and skating in El Segundo and at Venice beach and reminds me of all of the good times with my friends. Other songs i like: Superstar, Daydreamin, he say she say, hip hop saved my life, hi-definition and words i never said.:)
Lupe is literally my favorite rapper alive. I don't have a favorite song (they're all so amazing) but if I had to choose it would be "Words I Never Said." That song truly speaks to me because it mentions some of the issues that no one else has the guts to talk about. I noticed a general approval of Obama from the mainstream rap community and the fact that Lupe had the guts to go up against almost the entire community of rap with his political beliefs gives me even more respect then I had for him before. The sound of it is also just so amazing. And, by the way, if Lupe reads this, I wish I could have been to the Louisiana concert. My dad (Jon Langford, you may know him from the Colombia college music festival in 2006 in Chicago) went and tole me how fantastic it was. Lupe for life!
Go Go Gadget Flow I love this song because it gets me hyped for literally everything. Driving, working, sitting around, biking... the list goes on. It is really tough to narrow down a favorite from Lu because all of his material is incredible. I have to choose this one because of his crazy fast delivery on it. I also love the line "I'm from a city in the midwest, best city in the whole wide wide world"
my favorite song by lupe is "daydreamin'" i listened to this track 150 times in a row on my 19th birthday (seems like ages ago) it's the first lupe song i have internalized to memory and it has an immediate calming effect upon me to this day. nothing beats your first love affair with lupe's music.
Wow, picking one song will be as hard as picking 5 winners from all these entries. I literally had to go through my whole list of favorites and still could not come up with one, so I will have to just say something about one. I'm really feeling "the coolest" right now. I think it stands for how people who are born in the streets and into crime are stuck to it like being in a bad relationship. The ones that are abusive and no matter what they do they can never leave because they "love" the person so much. I think this connection is similar to what Lupe is explaining in the Coolest.
SLR (Super Lupe Rap), because Lupe Fiasco goes on a rampage of sheer genius. Six minutes of non-stop awesomeness is pretty hard to achieve, but anythings possible for Lu. FNF UP!
Has to be Gold Watch. Absolutely fantastic. "And my, ghetto broad and she, so plain gotta, couple scars and oneofthoselongnames" priceless. Little Weapon, Put You On Game, Kick, Push and every track of off the Demon Days mixtape are close though.
I have too many favorite songs by lupe all the cds are the bomb. Lasers is by far one of the most best records of its genre i love every song. Beautiful lasers is for sure my favorite song on the album right now the way he puts his feelings into his lyrics is just undescribable.
Kick,Push. This was the first Lupe track I listened to and instantly a fan. The beat just lifts me and puts me at ease. Original story telling with the idea of freedom through skating. Sometimes you got people who wanna pull you down for having the world in your hands because they don't but you just gotta coast by them and do you. Whatever it is that makes you happy there are people out there with the same ideas. Wherever you go - it doesn't matter as long as you have the people who matter with you.
Never Forget You I love it because it is such and upbeat song that makes me remember great times of my life. Also this song can put me in a great mood no matter what happens.
It's seriously difficult to choose one song. "Words I Never Said" is one of my favorites though, because of what you did with the lyrical content at this point in your career when you have so much more media and mainstream attention. Your lyrics stay true and push for thoughts that too many people in the mainstream world don't get exposed to, like the Gaza Strip and what Jihad is. I think it's genius to come out with that music video after The "Show Goes On" too, because you had a lot of attention with it and more people were following you. But of course, I have to also mention how crazy "Switch: The Science Project," Little Weapon," and "SLR" are. Keep staying true to your own self man, we want to listen.
I have to say mine is "Glory" from Revenge Of The Nerds! Because the lyricism and metaphors in the song are amazing and ever after hearing it hundreds of times i still find little details i did not catch on to so quickly.
I love listening to Lupe. The music is a whole new level of good...it is so hard to describe beyond the fact that the sound is just wow. I don't know. But I love it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by REW72 Love this rug! This is a fantastic rug! It is holding up very well to everyday use (in a 2 person plus 1 cat household with frequent houseguests and dogs staying over). This rug was expensive, especially for me as I usually buy secondhand and am very thrifty, but I think it was worth it. I totally agree with the other reviewer about the colors; the description is accurate, but the picture has much darker and stronger colors than the actual rug. January 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sadie229 Great rug, wrong colors We looked for some time to find a striped rug for our living room to match furniture we already had and were excited when we found this one. The quality of the rug is fantastic and it is holding up well to the wear and tear it receives. It is, however, not as bright at this picture makes it seem. It truly is pastel with very muted tones. We kept the rug but it is not the color we were expecting. If we had received the colors we were expecting I would give this a much higher rating. September 23, 2012

How the band found Satisfaction in the blues and R&B
When the Rolling Stones arrived at Chess Records in June of 1964 – then located at 2120 South Michigan Avenue on Chicago's South Side – it was more a pilgrimage to hallowed grounds than simply another recording session. They were impressionable youth – Mick Jagger and Keith Richards barely 20 years old, Brian Jones 22, Charlie Watts 23, Ian Stewart 25 and Bill Wyman the elder statesman at 27 – playing in the same studio spaces as their blues and R&B idols, the performers they'd been emulating.
Although Chess Records did not allow groups not signed to the label to use its studios, Andrew Loog Oldham, the Rolling Stones manager and producer, nonetheless reached out to make a case for his burgeoning band. He found a receptive ear in Marshall Chess.
Marshall had been working at Chess since he was 10 years old. His father Leonard and Uncle Phil had founded the label in Chicago, Illinois. The sibling Jewish immigrants from Poland came to the Windy City in 1928, where by the 1940s, they'd developed a number of bars and nightclubs, including the Macomba Lounge. The club hosted blues performers, which opened the brothers' eyes to a gap in the market. They eventually partnered with Charles and Evelyn Aron at Aristocrat Records to record some of the artists playing at their clubs. Arguably the most important artist to record for the label was a Mississippi transplant named McKinley Morganfield, whose stage name was Muddy Waters.
Two years after the partnership with Aristocrat was formalized, the brothers founded the Chess label in 1949. With it came a mind-boggling flood of blues, R&B and rock and roll talent that included Howlin' Wolf, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Willie Dixon, Etta James and Little Walter. Leonard, in particular, cultivated a roster of artists that favored his interest in roots music, carving a niche that made Chess the greatest repository of black music in the mid 20th century.
The Rolling Stones would've arrived in 1964 to find a narrow two-story building, with a door off the parking lot that opened to stairs that led to the recording studios. "It is certainly possible that Muddy [Waters] might have helped the Stones lug some equipment from the parking lot into the studios, because he was that kind of a guy," wrote Marshall Chess in According to the Rolling Stones. "The blues musicians weren't too interested in the Rolling Stones, but they did like the fact that they were covering their songs, and that, as a result, more and more people, particularly white people would become aware of their music." The Stones' June 1964 session at Chess Studios was fertile, producing more than a dozen tracks, including an inspired jam reverently titled "2120 South Michigan Avenue." Other cuts from that session included covers of Chuck Berry's "Around And Around," Big Bill Broonzy's "Tell Me Baby," Muddy Waters' "I Can't Be Satisfied," Willie Dixon's "Down In The Bottom" and the Valentinos' "It's All Over Now" – a song written by Bobby Womack. The latter would go to Number One in the UK that summer. While Oldham was the producer for these sessions, it was Chess' engineer Ron Malo that succeeded in lending an authentic timbre to the band's recordings. "Andrew [Oldham] didn't know anything about blues," recalled Mick Jagger in Bill Wyman's Rolling with the Stones. "The cat who really got it together was Ron Malo, the engineer for Chess. He had been on all the original sessions."
In between visits from the likes of Buddy Guy and Willie Dixon – the latter reportedly attempting to sell the group songs – the Stones made quite an impression. Their appearance was particularly jarring to Midwestern sensibilities of the mid 60s (Brian Jones' shoulder-length hair, for example) and their decorum (or lack thereof) was shocking even for the staff of Chess, who were used to seeing their fair share of rabble-rousing. "At Chess, we had some pretty strange motherfuckers on the label, but we never had anyone who, like the Stones, drank straight from a bottle of Jack Daniels in the studio rather than nipping to the bathroom for a drink or a toke," wrote Marshall. "This was new even to us." In the May 23, 1964 issue of Melody Maker, Muddy Waters was quoted as saying: "They're my boys. I like their version of 'I Just Want To Make Love To You.' They fade it out just like we did."
The Stones returned to Chess in November 1964, recording half a dozen tracks, most notably a version of "Time Is On My Side" that was cut for the UK market and reached Number One there in January 1965. "The biggest advantage of recording strong rhythm and blues in Chicago was that the engineers were a lot more used to that sort of music. I don't think anyone anywhere could record this type of music as effectively as they did in Chicago," said Stones drummer Charlie Watts in a July 1964 interview with Mersey Beat, billed as "Merseyside's Own Entertainments Paper."
When the Rolling Stones returned to Chess Studios on May 10 and 11, 1965, they again turned to engineer Ron Malo."It was incredible to see the studio and the way they operated, and to realize, when you plugged in there and heard what was coming off the tapes, that certain rooms do have certain sounds," recalled Keith Richards in According to the Rolling Stones. "We cut a lot of stuff there – it was such a warm room to play in, although it's not just the room, it's also to do with the guys who are operating it." The May sessions produced "The Under Assistant West Coast Promotion Man," "Mercy Mercy" and "That's How Strong My Love Is," all of which found inclusion on US and UK editions of Out Of Our Heads. It was also during this session that Richards played the band a song he'd worked up, one he envisioned as a slow-burning folk rock number. When Jagger heard the song's antagonistic lyrics, he suggested recasting it with a more demonstrative rock beat. Working through the night at Chess, the Rolling Stones recorded "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." The band then traveled to RCA in Hollywood, California, to finish recording the track with engineer Dave Hassinger. The final mono cut was released in May 1965 in the US (and August 1965 in the UK), peaking at Number One in both countries that summer.

Remember Baylor? I know it wasnt Jantz but you have to the simularities
Whats going on here?
Umm. What?
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Remember, you're unique. Just like everyone else.

That's my summary of our strange threads today. That, and trolls.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed
Sic Semper Jayhawks
SR looked better against KU (who has a wayyyy better D than Baylor) than Jantz looked against Baylor
But the difference is Jantz looked like dog **** against Baylor despite throwing for what he for what he did. He made many horrible decisions and bad passes, SR didn't last night. Watch each game again, not even close to similar.
Remember Jantz against KU? Cause you got two drives to look at it.
I know exactly what you mean and unseasonably warm geez those chrome wheels are cool plus these pretzels are making me thirsty.
He accidentally the whole post...

ZF-1626: Add methods for removing or replacing headers
[reported by tim weyand http://nabble.com/Zend_Mail---Zend_Mail_Transport_…]
Feature "Wish" : Could "delTo", "delCc", "delBcc", "delSubject", "delFrom" methods be added to Zend_Mail?
Assigned to Nico.
Marking fix version as unknown. Please set fix version when this issue is resolved.
In my opinion, it should be possible to delete settings, which have been set by the script.
["delTo", "delCc", "delBcc" (name sugesstion)]
After an email was send, in most cases it is neccessary to clear the receipient list. Currently you can add "infinite" receipients to your reseipient list, but you can not delete any.
I think most people wouldn't need to delete a specific email adress out of the To,Cc,Bcc list, so i would sugesst that an delTo would delete alle receipients in the "To receipient list".
Alternatively an "delReceipientList" would be easier to implement, but was in the past declined http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-30.
I wrote an class which extends Zend_Mail, in this class i implemented a "delReceipientList".
public function delReceipientList() { $this->_to=array(); $this->_recipients=array(); if (isset($this->_headers['To'])) unset($this->_headers['To']); if (isset($this->_headers['Cc'])) unset($this->_headers['Cc']); if (isset($this->_headers['Bcc'])) unset($this->_headers['Bcc']); }
[delFrom] In some cases you change not only the receipient, but also the sender. This case is for example a greeting card, a news article which you want to send a friend ...
Currently you can set the from header only ones, otherwise you get an exception. Which is actually good, but there should be an method to delete the From Header.
Maybe something like this :
public function delFrom() { if (!is_null($this->_from)) $this->_from=null; if (isset($this->_headers['From'])) unset($this->_headers['From']); }
[delSubject] The same as the from header, you can only set the subject line ones - otherwise you get an exception. This is not that important for myself, but for the purpose of completion it should be implemented as well.
Maybe something like this :
public function delSubject() { if (!is_null($this->_subject)) $this->_subject=null; if (isset($this->_headers["Subject"])) unset($this->_headers["Subject"]); }
I hope this helps.
regards, Tim
Implemented in SVN r13499.
I added Following functions
_clearHeader($headerName) clearRecipients() clearFrom() clearReturnPath() clearSubject() clearDate()

I run a (small) news website which has also a forum in a subfolder of the root. I'm planning to give the site a facelift and a code restructuration, so I wanted to put some redirect on the home page that will point directly to forum's index (www.mysite.com --> www.mysite.com/forum) while I tinker with it. And that, given the little free time I have, will take no less than a couple of month. Being a news site I'm pretty sure that would affect it's overall ranking, but I need to do it, so: which is the best way to redirect? I pondered and read here and there about the different means, but I couldn't figure out which is worst for SEO. Do I use a 302 redirect or use "Location:newurl" in page headers using php? Or I just put a meta tag in the html page (or a javascript, what's better). Sorry but I'm not really into these things, I may have said something silly, I know... Thanks
Do a 307 temporary redirect on the server side. You can do this with PHP or .htaccess, it doesn't matter which. But definitely make sure you send the 307 header as that is what tells the search engines the redirect is temporary and to try again later. Without it they will consider the pages removed which is exactly what you don't want.
SEO-wise it's not advised to use a meta-refresh or javascript, because they will not pass pagerank and it'll just evaporate. Instead, use a 302 redirect (htacess or php
But really, can't you tinker with it on a test environment and just upload it to the live website once you're done? That's a lot more SEO-efficient.

The Case of a Prepaid Danish CashcardHjelholt, Morten; Damsgaard, Jan (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Payment transactions through the use of physical coins, bank notes or credit cards have for centuries been the standard formats of exchanging value. Recently online and mobile digital payment platforms has entered the stage as contenders to this position and possibly could penetrate societies thoroughly and replace current physical payment standards. This paper portrays how digital payment platforms evolve in socio-‐technical niches and how various technological platforms aim for institutional attention in their attempt to challenge earlier platforms and standards. The paper applies a co-‐evolutionary multilevel perspective to model the interplay and processes between technology and institutions wherein digital payment platforms potentially will substitute other payment platforms just like the credit card negated the cheque. We present a framework for understanding the evolution and transitions of payment platforms. We demonstrate the usefulness of the framework in a in-‐depth single case study of a prepaid cash card. The learning of past experience with digital payment platforms is demonstrated to be the right starting point for investigations into how new solutions might succeed or fail in the future. Thus we finally discuss how possible venues and routes of transitions appear in current evolution of digital payment platforms URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8759

The EU Regulator´s PerspectiveStaykova, Kalina; Damsgaard, Jan (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) is probably the most ambitious self-regulatory project aimed at creating a single integrated European digital payments market since the introduction of the Euro. SEPA aims to make EU more innovative and competitive. When considering the SEPA initiative and combining it with the disruptive and innovative nature the mobile phone permeates, the result is a market that is rapidly transforming from well-established into a state of flux. We build a model to understand and explain this transformation of the digital payment infrastructure. The model captures the formation and development of digital payment infrastructure with a particular emphasis on the regulator´s perspective. It consists of four stages characterized by slow incremental change following by short rapid bursts of discontinuity. Each stage is portrayed by its evolutionary dynamics, the nature of the payment platform, the legal implications, the regulatory asymmetry, the level of competition, and what drives the discontinuity.

Andersen, Kim Normann (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denne rapport sætter fokus på robotstøvsugning på større, ensartede gulvarealer i den offentlige sektor. Med udgangspunkt i et rammeværktøj (den såkaldte CIVO-model), er den opsigtsvækkende konklusion i rapporten, at der kan opnåes et højere rengøringsresultat ved hjælp af robotstøvsugning sammenlignet med konventionel rengøring. Opretholdes samme rengøringsniveau målt ved vægten af indsamlet støv og snavs, er besparelsespotentialet 25%-75% af de medgåede omkostninger til støvsugning og tørmobning af gulvarealer. Samlet set vurderes det, at der rengøres godt 18 millioner m2 gulvarealer i den offentlige sektor. Hvis hele dette areal skal støvsuges med robotter, vil det kræve en indsats af mere end 225.000 robotter. Rapportens udgangspunkt er den aktuelle markedsmodning af robotstøvsugere til større arealer. De større producenter enten har eller er tæt på at markedsføre støvsugere med større rækkevidde og bedre navigationssystemer. Dermed er vejen banet for at bl.a. rådhuse, skoler, plejecentre, styrelser og ministerier kan begynde ibragtagningen af robotstøvsugerne. Kommunerne har haft en relativ aggressiv kurs med lancering af robotstøvsugerne i visitationen til bl.a. ældre. Rapporten peger på, at der kan hentes mindst lige så store driftgevinster ved at rette fokus på den offentlige sektors egen brug af støvsugerne. Det langsomme optag i den offentlige sektor tilskrives i rapporten, at den tekniske modning af støvsugerne først i 2011 og 2012 er slået igennem for robotterne til større arealer samt at der er en vis inerti p.g.a. eksisterende udbudskontrakter og manglende erfaring med at indbygge krav til dette i udbudsmaterialet.

Case Studies of Two VendorsRiis, Philip Holst; Beringer, Joerg; Winther, Jacob (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper examines the concept of role-‐oriented enterprise systems by investigating motivations for and approaches to constructing and reflecting predefined organizational roles in user interfaces of packaged enterprise systems. The research is conducted as case studies of Microsoft and SAP, constructed from interviews, documents, and examples of role-‐oriented enterprise system packages from both vendors. The research indicates that the primary motivation of the vendors for including predefined roles is to complement a function-‐centric approach with a user-‐centric approach to the design of user interfaces of enterprise systems. The research furthermore identifies strategies of an embedded and an independent approach to modeling the role concept and a unified and a componentized approach to reflecting role aggregation in user interfaces.

Exploring an avenue of ResearchDyrby, Signe (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The phenomenon of 'digital living' is to a high extent influenced by the introduction of new media into society. Especially, social media are affecting the digital world of today and are setting the agenda for social connectedness in private, public and commercial networks. Based in an initial desire to explore a research agenda for the workings of social media in network structures a look into the literature on social media within the field of Information Systems sparked an interest in exploring a new research perspective for social media. Reviewing the IS literature it is apparent that the perspective of the 'media' as an artifact of social media has been neglected in existing literature. Based in this, this paper proposes research possibilities for investigating the 'media' of social media as well as some theoretical considerations that could aid the investigation. Finally, potential outcomes of pursuing the possible research area are outlined. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9075

A Comparative Study of Four European SolutionsKazan, Erol; Damsgaard, Jan (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper focuses on the triumph march of mobile phones that currently are annexing music players, navigation devices, and cameras as separate physical objects. The next target is set on payment. Through synthesizing available literature, we construct a framework for studying digital payment platforms that combines platform, technology and business design aspects. The framework is applied to conduct a comparative case study of digital payment platforms. Four types of market actors are considered: banks, mobile network operators, merchants, and startups, which are incumbents and disrupters in the payment industry. These actors issue four types of payment systems, and we can observe that three of four platforms types can be classified as multi-sided platforms (MSP). All alternatives seek foothold by issuing evolutionary payment instruments, which are intertwined with digital payment platforms. By hosting third-party services, payment instruments are evolving from single-purpose to multi-functional ones. Our research extends existing payment literature from the MSP perspective to emphasize certain digital payment platform components, which impact strategies and complementary products.

Not So Fast is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony given to protagonist Luis Fernando Lopez by Gay Tony from his apartment at the Little Italy district of Liberty City or the Hercules nightclub. It ties in with Museum Piece of Grand Theft Auto IV and Collector's Item of The Lost and Damned. This mission takes place from Luis's point of view, in which he ambushes the diamond exchange between Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, and the Jewish Mob.
In this mission, Luis escapes via helicopter while Niko and Johnny fight goons in the right and left hallway, respectively. Luis drops down from the scaffolding and chases after Isaac Roth after killing several guards and Mori Green during the deal. Isaac hides under the table from Luis. After making Luis an offer, Isaac is knocked unconscious by the butt of his rifle and Luis makes it to the roof, where he takes Yusuf's gold-plated Buzzard to safety after dealing with three police choppers.
Upon completion, the player is awarded the Diamonds Forever achievement.
You start from Hercules. You'll phone Yusuf Amir to borrow his Buzzard, which now has gold plating. After the phone call, get to the West River Helipad, which is not far. Once in the Buzzard, fly to The Libertonian. Once there, go down the scaffolding and watch the deal cutscene from Luis's point of view. After the cutscene is finished, climb up the ladders and get back to your Buzzard and fly back to the Helipad. However, 3 NOOSE Annihilators will force you to turn back and destroy them. It is not a walk in the park however, as they will shoot rockets from their chopper, as well as use their new explosive rounds on you. Use your miniguns to destroy them, as it might be hard to aim the rockets while you're swinging around. A skilled pilot will easily destroy the helicopters. Destroy them and get back to the Helipad. Tony will shout through his Schafter window: "Hey Lou, arriving in style!" and Luis gives him the diamonds.
- The Jewish mobster who attempts to shoot Luis in the cutscene has a Pump Shotgun, but the shotgun lying on the ground afterwards is the Combat Shotgun.
- Just like from Johnny's and Niko's point of view, it is possible to kill the other protagonist, although Luis can kill both of them. However, you fail the mission if either of them die, despite them being enemies.
- Niko was animated with a different running style during his appearance in this mission. It is the same animation that Brucie and Roman take when on friend activities.
- You can kill Issac, but doing so will fail the mission as this causes a paradox in IV's storyline.
- Niko can be heard shooting an SMG and Johnny shooting an Assault Shotgun during this mission.
- This is the first time this event was seen in a different cinematic point of view, as camera angles were edited to show what Luis was doing while Niko and Johnny tried to sell the diamonds.
- Luis' dialogue was re-recorded for this cutscene, much like in I luv LC.
- Before climbing the ladder to escape the museum, you can hear both Niko and Johnny's war cries.
- If you have a Carbine Rifle or an M249, it will be replaced by the AK-47 after the cutscene when busting the deal.
- In GTA IV, Johnny´s bike (the earlier Hellfury was retconned here by Johnny's Hexer) is standing next to the door Johnny uses to exit. However, there is no helicopter on the roof of the museum.
- This mission is probably the easiest way to obtain the Police Maverick. Just kill the officers and take it. You will, however, fail the mission, since you have to get in the Buzzard.
- In the opening cutscene, Tony makes reference to Gracie's absence saying "Where the fuck is Gracie? She's supposed to meet me here." This could mean the first half of the GTA IV mission I'll Take Her had already taken place.
- Luis has the highest wanted rating after escaping the Libertonian. You'll hear the police dispatcher send an FIB team after him.
