ZF-2946: Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Socket be able to set stream context options
On a shared host making an out going connection I need to bind to a certain ip address. This is only possible though steam context handlers. Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Socket already uses stream_context_create. I propose the ability to be able to pass stream context options via the config.
Changing fix version to follow IT conventions.
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Implemented, documented and tested in CS-17009

Best Uses
Comments about Men's ''Cause An Uproar'' Tiger Hoodie:
This jacket would be best to use whenever it's too cool out to not have an overcoat, but to warm to wear a winter coat. It's super soft with a great picture on the back. However, the arms are a little too short for me. It has thumb holes and I can use them but if I extend my arm fully, I cannot.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Volleyball Prepares For Five Matches In Five Days, Opens With EIVA Tilt
After playing six home matches in 12 days, the Princeton men's volleyball team will open a stretch of five matches in five days Saturday when it heads to Rutgers-Newark for a pair of matches. The Tigers will open with an EIVA showdown against the Scarlet Knights (1 pm), and then take on former league opponent NYU (3 pm).
Following those matches, Princeton will take a Spring Break trip to North Carolina to play a trio of teams in the Conference Carolinas. On Monday at 7, Princeton will be in Misenheimer, N.C., to take on Pfeiffer; two days later, the Tigers will head to Mount Olive, N.C., for Wednesday showdowns against both Barton (5 pm) and Mount Olive (7 pm).
The Tigers (7-7, 6-2 EIVA) will head into that stretch in third place in the EIVA, though still in contention to host the league championships at the end of April. A victory over Rutgers-Newark (4-8, 0-6) would give Princeton the same league record as Harvard, though the Crimson would have a season-ending tiebreaker due to head-to-head results.
NYU is currently 12-7 on the season.
Pfeiffer, Barton and Mount Olive are each competing for the Conference Carolinas title, and both Pfeiffer and Mount Olive are currently among the Top 3 in the league standings.

For sale is my beloved Audio Innovations series 500 integrated amp. It is rated at 25 watts per channel class A. I have the original box, not photo'd since it is in a lock-up unit a few miles away.
Phono input (+ earth, obviously), CD, Tuner, Aux., Monitor, Tape, Tape 1 Out, Tape 2 Out.
Output taps: 16 ohm, 8 ohm and 4 ohm.
I have had this amp since 1991 and it has been lovingly cared for I take care of all my stuff. It has lived in a smoke-free, pet free and kid-free home. For the last 3 years I have used it to bi-amp my speakers (tweeters only). It is only departing since I am going 'active' and I need 2 identical power amps. It works perfectly well.
It has been serviced twice in the time I have owned it and I entrusted this to Doug Brady's in Warrington. The last time it was in, they needed to replace a valve and 1 of them is different to the rest. You may be able to see this on the pics. They rang me and gave me the options before proceeding expensive or cheaper. I didn't see the need to go for a fully matched set bearing in mind its use. The purists will label me a heathen for this! But those in the know will be aware this amp can be tweaked to perform way out of its skin. I once heard one with a Border Patrol power supply mod and the difference was immediately obvious greater transparency.
Cosmetically it is in good (some would say 'very good') condition. There are slight scratches on the underside of the perspex top cover caused by the screws underneath. Otherwise it looks and sounds the part.
I am not a tecchie but I know what sounds good and there's lots of interesting stuff about AI here:
... and from pinkfish:
... and here from Border Patrol:
I am asking £495 for it + delivery (UK only). I'm not too sure of its value since they rarely come up for sale. I know that power amps are around £650 each. There are some power amps now on ebay but no integrateds. I would prefer pick-up from here because of its weight.
I will post pics later when I have worked out how to do it.
Happy New Year!

3 face drug charges; 32 grams of pot seized
Published: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 9:27 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 9:27 a.m.
Wilmington police made three arrests and seized 150 doses of heroin and 32 grams of marijuana in unrelated cases Wednesday night.
Jamal Goodman, 19, is charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver heroin, possession of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a park, felony probation violation and a failure to appear warrant. His bail is $405,000.

- vSphere ESXi Hypervisor
- Distributed Resources Scheduler (DRS), Distributed Power Management (DPM)
- vMotion
- Big Data Extensions
Auto Deploy
Provision vSphere Hosts Rapidly
VMware vSphere Auto Deploy facilitates rapid server deployment and provisioning of vSphere hosts by leveraging the network boot capabilities of x86 servers together with the small footprint of the VMware ESXi hypervisor. With Auto Deploy, vSphere hosts are network-booted from a central Auto Deploy server where the ESXi software is installed directly into the server's memory. Once installed, a VMware vCenter host profile is used to configure the host. After configuration, the host is connected to vCenter where it is available to host virtual machines. The entire process is fully automated, allowing new hosts to be provisioned with no manual intervention.
Centralize ESXi Image Management
With Auto Deploy, share ESXi software images with all hosts running on matching hardware. Centralized image management eliminates the need to patch and update individual ESXi hosts. Instead, simply perform a single update to the shared image profile then reboot the VMware vSphere hosts.
Eliminate Configuration Drift
Each time a vSphere host reboots, it is reinstalled and reconfigured, ensuring a consistent image and configuration. Auto Deploy prevents configuration drift and eliminates the need to use precious resources managing the drift of manual configuration and patch processes.
Run from Memory with Diskless vSphere Hosts
Hosts provisioned with Auto Deploy can be configured to run completely from memory, eliminating the need to purchase or allocate local storage to each vSphere host. Eliminating the need for a dedicated boot device simplifies SAN configurations with easier LUN zoning and masking.
Stateful Deployments of Hosts
With stateless caching or stateful deployments—even in the event the Auto Deploy server potentially fails—the host can still be booted from the local disk.
Technical Details
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE)
Auto Deploy is based on the Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE). When a vSphere hosts is powered on, it initiates a PXE-based network boot. PXE boots require a DHCP and TFTP server, which must be set up outside of Auto Deploy.
Image Builder CLI
Auto Deploy uses the vSphere Image Builder CLI to create and maintain custom ESXi image profiles to install ESXi hosts.
Auto Deploy Rules Engine
A rules engine on the Auto Deploy VMware vCenter Server uses information provided by the host during PXE boot to determine the proper image and host profiles needed to configure the host, as well as where within vCenter to place the host.
Auto Deploy Web Server
A web server running on the Auto Deploy server is used to deploy the ESXi image along with the host profile.
Both the Image Builder CLI and Auto Deploy server are based on VMware vSphere PowerCLI.

It was Homecoming for Alta Club's Lori Walls a couple of weeks ago.
The longtime club sommelier moved to Oregon and Alta Club is without a wine director right now, but she returned for a night, bringing a bunch of Oregon wines with her. It was a small but enthusiastic group that gathered around the table in the "birdcage" and chef Brian Edwards outdid himself creating challenging but successful combinations: fig-and-clove stuffed duck confit (2009 Penner-Ash Willamette Valley Pinot Noir)
Ivory King Salmon with grilled pineapple, mandarin orange panna cotta (its creaminess a perfect textural contrast, like a stiff bearnaise) and coconut arancini (2011 Elk Cove Pinot Gris)
blue cheese and milk chocolate mousse (King Estate Vin Glace.)
The star of the show was the tea-ruibbed lamb loin wreathed in baby vegetables, edible flower petals, berries, snipped fresh herbs and baby morels served with 2009 Rex Hill Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. The dish was absolutely gorgeous, like a Della Robbia on the plate, and pristinely simple. No tricks, no complicated techniques–it was the chef's culinary vision that made this dish such a knockout.
It occurs to me that you could easily make a version of this dish at home. Lamb tenderloins are tiny, and somewhat expensive, but basically uncomplicated for a home cook.
Lava Lake Lamb's recipe for Tenderloin or Loin of Lamb with Port Reduction
• 2 lamb tenderloins or 1 boneless loin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 shallots, minced
• 1 cup port wine Make a paste of the olive oil, garlic and cumin and rub on lamb. Let stand for a few hours. Sear the lamb quickly and set aside in a baking dish. Add shallots to the pan, sauté until soft, then deglaze with the port. Reduce a bit, then pour over lamb. Roast at 350 for 10-20 minutes, depending on whether you are using tenderloins or the larger loins. Take care not to overcook. If using a meat thermometer, remove at 145 degrees for medium rare, 160 for medium.
Saute assorted baby vegetables–tiny carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, pearl onions, asparagus tips, tiny mushrooms, whatever you can find–until crisp-tender. Wash assorted berries and tiny sprigs of thyme, lavender, mint and edible flowers and petals.
Let the lamb rest a minute before slicing. Place in the center of the plate and arrange the berries, herbs and vegetables around the slices. Drizzle with the port reduction.
How pretty is that?

Loved the truth in your letter from the editor in the May 2012 issue. As I struggle with my chronological age, staying fit, deciding whether it is time for Botox, negotiating terms with a soon to be ex husband, saving for my children's education and my retirement simultaneously, wondering in this economy when and if I will retire, feeling both the best in my life and at times the most conflicted I thank the good Lord I am a woman! I am capable, confident and empathetic. I do like being more emotionally "fit" but am also going to keep applying eye cream so I can give the young ones a run for their money. Please keep showing all perspectives. I continue to strive to be evolved and wise and sexy as hell! Love your magazine!
Re: Clothing That Hides Belly Fat Article by Leslie Kenedy
Let's get real, More.com! It's hard enough when you can't wear the gorgeous outfits that most magazine models wear. But then the headline of a story reads finding clothing that hides belly fat. But check out the models sporting the clothing! SKINNY! Come on, More.com. Give us a little hope. I know there are beautiful models out there that can show us clothes that we can feel pretty in. It's insulting to use the skinny models that have NO FAT for this article.
Give us hope,
Gina Castro
I had picked up your magazine occasionally through the years at the Naturopath's office, admiring the "over 40" slant and bought the May issue expecting to subscribe. I'm sorry, but it won't be happening this month. Not even half way through the magazine, I gave up.
What's with the Notebook piece on "Lady Killers", with the newly divorced imagining their ex husbands on the shooting range target? Imagine it appearing in reverse in a men's magazine? At the age of 56, I have matured from a feminist to a humanist, angry sexism is passé. "Stray Goat or Hag Hairs"? What? How about just "banishing unwanted hair"?
The magazine is packed with negative depictions of those very women whom I presume are your target market. It's full of emphasized fear of aging, getting fat, and having wrinkles. By the time I got to page 58 and the chapter on "How NOT to look old this summer", I was done. Could it be too difficult to re-title the chapter "Looking Great This Summer"? Perhaps later articles were better, but the magazine was in the recycle bin.
The editor "Thrills to find a treatment to erase sunspots". Apparently, any sign of age is a horrendous failure. Face cream is just a "thing", like toothpaste. I get my "thrills" from family, career, friends, driving fast sports cars and my diverse interests. Ageism is perseveres through the negative words you chose for your headlines.
So, I'll continue to enjoy Vogue, In Style and Vanity Fair, for their witty writing, fabulous fashions and forward thinking, and leave More alone with its tiny size and even tinier content. The premise is good. The results are not. I hope the magazine improves before it disappears completely.
All the best,
Taimi Dunn Gorman

Evans keeps aiming for the perfect moments
Published: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 5:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 5:27 p.m.
Wilmington Hammerheads defender Gareth Evans once portrayed himself as angry, loyal and stubborn on a team questionnaire.
Wilmington Hammerheads (1-3-0) vs. Rochester Rhinos (0-5-1)
When: Friday, 7:30 p.m.
Where: Legion Stadium
Tickets: General admission $12, with discounts for seniors, children
Online: Live stream at uslnation.com
What else: Two of the USL Pro's usual powers lag at the bottom of the standings early in the season thanks to bad luck, bad timing and short rosters. … Wilmington also plays Saturday night at Charleston in a rematch of the 2012 league title game.
"It does not put me in the brightest of lights, but I am pretty intense when it comes to soccer and stuff like that,'' he said heading into the team's two-game weekend, which starts Friday night at Legion Stadium vs. winless Rochester (0-5-1, 16 goals allowed).
"Off the field, I am fairly chilled out,'' Evans continued. "When it comes to training and games, I take it pretty seriously.''
His demanding attitude stems from setting high standards. He admits to worrying that occasional sloppy passes in practice can lead to decisive goals in close defeats.
"I try to keep people on their toes and get a winning mentality,'' Evans said.
He describes himself as determined to win and vocal, but sometimes keeps quiet.
"His personality is sometimes offensive to his teammates, but all and all he can play the game and has done well for this club,'' Hammerheads coach David Irving said.
The anger, Evans noted, comes from the will to succeed; the stubbornness results from being strong willed; and the loyalty from devotion to family, teammates and friends.
"Gareth brings a lot to the team,'' teammate and roommate Will Heaney said. "He is probably our biggest leader and lifts everyone up around him.''
Evans' attitude is born of his time growing up in Wales, where he played cricket and No. 2 singles on the high school tennis team.
Evans was 17 when his grandfather, Brinley, died. Evans was raised by a single mother, so Brinley was the father figure.
"Everyone said what a grumpy man he was, but was so quick-witted,'' Evans said. "He was grumpy but would do anything for you. In the house, he would slip you 10 pounds; don't tell your mom kind of thing.''
At games, Brinley often quietly rooted for Evans in soccer and tennis. Before he passed, he saw Evans play professional soccer for hometown Wrexham.
"He was my hero and I miss him a lot,'' Evans said.
Evans also is close to his mother and grandmother.
"The three are my heroes and I am a mommy boy,'' said Evans, in his third year with the team. "I try to be tough, but I am really a big softy.''
Notes: The team roster will grow by three players Friday. It announced on its Twitter account that Brazilian forward Richard Isbener has been cleared to play and could be on the field; Wilmington native Cody Arnoux is also expected to return (hamstring); midfielder Paul Nicholson has served his two-game suspension for a red card at Los Angeles and can play again. … The team will have a watch party for Saturday night's game in Charleston at Buffalo Wild Wings on Old Eastwood Road. First kick is 7:30 p.m.

Baltimore County News
Contributed by Rick Cobert
Baltimore County Department of Economic Development
As much as you think you know about the Baltimore County economy, there is always more to discover. Experts are often impressed to learn how many products are manufactured here, and how many of our companies are publicly traded stocks.
Here is the first in an occasional series featuring products and their company connections in our "resource rich" county.
Sakrete is a global leader in premixed bagged concrete. The mix is used by commercial builders and the average homeowner. This famous brand is manufactured by Bonsal American in Middle River, which is owned by CRH plc (NYSE: CRH).
Vulcan ranges are the "chefs secret" in kitchens here and around the world. Imagine an infrared broiler cooking a "Pittsburgh-rare" New York Strip at 1,600 degrees. Built with pride in Dundalk, Vulcan is a division of ITW (NYSE: ITW).
Jet engine thrust reversers are a plane part we take for granted. At MRAS (Middle River Aircraft Systems), the "airplane brakes" built into aircraft engines for GE and Pratt & Whitney keep jet landings safe and consistently reliable.
The bottle cap (originally called the crown cork) was patented in 1892 by the Crown Cork & Seal Company here in Baltimore. Crown has been manufacturing metal food cans in Essex for decades. The global company is still revolutionizing packaging with new technology (NYSE: CCK).

After the big summer launch of Art Unites—Donatella Versace's charity collaboration with the Whitney's Education Department, to benefit kids in the States and China—Versace is now making an even bigger splash with the sale of one-of-a-kind Versace canvas totes designed by the children in need.
The program supports two causes: Starlight Children's Foundation in the US, an organization focused on caring for seriously ill children and their families, and One Foundation in China, which is committed to the long-term recovery of victims from the Sichuan province earthquakes last year. As part of Versace's goal to inspire creativity and lift spirits, the compnay provided canvas and art supplies to more than 1,400 children, who were encouraged to create original drawings focused around the theme of "friendship." The bags are currently being sold Versace boutiques worldwide for a retail price between $200 and $250, and 100% of proceeds will be donated equally to Starlight and One Foundation.

People start having memory problems as they age, but a new study shows that muscles don't. According to animal research reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, muscles appear to retain a memory of their former strength. It seems that nuclei in muscle cells created in response to workouts remain inside some muscle fibers, sticking around even if the muscles they're part of are withering from lack of use. "Muscle memory might last in humans for decades or forever," speculates study coauthor Kristian Gundersen, PhD, professor of molecular biology and physiology at the University of Norway in Oslo. So when you want to build up muscles you've worked out in the past, they become strong faster than they would if you had never exercised them—which gives you a big head start in achieving fitness again. Here, in their own words, are the stories of five women who found that love of a sport can be better the second time around.
Terry Hastings Powers | 48
Novato, California
Director of development, independent K–8 school
Having always been slender, I was upset and frustrated when I had my second child at 43 and couldn't lose the 15 to 20 pounds of pregnancy weight. On our family's annual summer trip to Lake Tahoe, I was so self-conscious, I covered up my bathing suit with a T-shirt and shorts whenever I was out of the water. Luckily, during that same vacation two years ago, I ran into some friends from home who presented a possible solution. They had just joined a new masters swim team in our area called the Marin Pirates Masters. They said the coach was amazing, kind and so supportive, and they encouraged me to check out the team.
I've always loved being in the water. At the age of two and a half, I dog-paddled the entire length of the big (adult) pool at the community swim club, which meant I could swim there whenever I wanted. For years I spent my free time at swim-team practices and swim meets and just hanging out in pools with girlfriends. My best strokes were freestyle and butterfly. But by 14, I felt burned out by competitive swimming. I was tired of hearing whistles blow all the time. Plus, I could do other sports like tennis and field hockey on school grounds and not have to be schlepped around.
Thirty-two years after I quit the swim team, I ventured out of my comfort zone and paid a visit to the Marin Pirates practices. I watched a couple of sessions before getting wet—but once I jumped in, I never looked back. I soon began attending swim practice from 5:30 to 6:45 am four days a week. Within a month of starting, I was comfortable with all my strokes again. In the beginning, my biceps and shoulders were very sore, and I grew tired at work by midmorning. But all that passed after about six months.
Meanwhile, my body was changing noticeably. I dropped 15 pounds after the first three months. My pants buttoned more easily, there was space between my thighs, the dimples on the front of my legs were going away, and the front and back of my torso became firmer and more muscular. Upper-arm definition came next.
But the transformation of my figure was the least of my accomplishments. After practicing for six months, I entered my first meet as a Pirate. Now my times are better than they were when I was a teen. Sometimes I even win ribbons, which at my age makes me giggle.
My coach helped improve my performance by teaching me some techniques that have been developed since I was young. With freestyle, I learned how to glide and skim the surface with my hands before pulling under. For the butterfly, I mastered undulating slightly and pressing my chest against the water, a modification that makes you more efficient and gives you greater stamina.
Swim practice has become my sanctuary. I don't think about my troubles. The water is quiet, monochromatic and soothing—it makes me feel hugged. The fun I have, the laughter I share with my lane mates and the strength I've gained both physically and mentally are gifts—and they are all mine.

Performer (theater, tv, dance)
I moved to New York City in the fall of 1998 to try to find work as a dancer and started kickboxing as a way to stay physically active and boost my confidence. I picked it up quickly because years of ballet, tap and jazz dance training had taught me how to analyze and execute different movements. For about two years, I kickboxed four to six times a week. I stopped when I moved to the Midwest to teach dance. I couldn't find a place to study.
Over the next 10 years, I lost some of my love for dance because it made me feel bad about my body. That culture places great emphasis on thinness, and I have always been a bit curvy. As a dancer, you must appear very confident onstage, but your belief in yourself gets chipped away by constant rejection. Try standing in a leotard next to a bunch of very slender girls in audition after audition, and tell me how your confidence fares!
I always come back to New York, and when I returned last summer, I started kickboxing classes again because I needed something to help me get out of my career and life funk. (I hadn't danced professionally for over a year.) From the first class, my instructor recognized that I had experience. I quickly became enamored again because working hard makes me feel good about myself. And after just a month of taking classes three to five days a week, I began making fast progress.
I've always had very good kinesthetic awareness—a sense of how my body moves in space—and I can look at someone doing a particular movement and easily figure out how to make my body do it. With kickboxing, I had an additional advantage: My muscles actually remembered the correct positioning for a defensive stance and the basic punches and kicks. My curves were not an issue, and all I had to do was simply trust my body to move quickly. In three months, I was further along than many people who had put in a lot more time than I had, and I attribute that to all my previous experience.
I had no idea how profoundly I'd be transformed by rediscovering kickboxing. Of course, I'm enjoying increased strength and stamina, but I am most excited by deeper changes—wanting to take better care of myself and finally feeling like I am judging my body less and appreciating it more. My self-confidence has increased enormously, and I am more grounded than I've ever been. I recently moved away from New York again, this time to New Orleans, but I won't make the same mistake I did before. This time I will definitely keep kickboxing.

I love the camaraderie of being on a team. When I was a teenager, I went to a girls' boarding school in Massachusetts, and I discovered lacrosse there. It's such a fast-moving sport—that's what I found so exciting. I also appreciate that lacrosse isn't a game where just one person becomes the star; for a goal to be scored, everyone has to work together. All through high school I played midfield, which involved a lot of running, and when I found out my college didn't have a women's lacrosse team, I started one. Afterward, there was no place where I could play, so I ended up quitting the sport for almost two decades.
Then, a few years ago, I decided to coach my son's lacrosse team, and one of the parents I met was a 45-year-old guy who played on a men's team. There was no women's team that I could find, but I was inspired, and in the spring of 2007 my friend Kate Verni and I founded a women's team called the Re-LAXers. Our idea was to create a venue for seasoned female players who wanted to return to the game we all loved so much in school. My friend got the equipment while I rounded up the people. To find players, I put up flyers, posted my e-mail address on the U.S. Lacrosse website and talked to parents and coaches at the youth lacrosse games. The team started out with just seven women, ages 35 to 52, scrimmaging on Saturday mornings before our kids woke up. (For a real team, we'd have needed at least 12 people on the field and eight or so on the bench.)
The game was surprisingly easy to pick up again. My skills were weaker but still there—for instance, I remembered how to catch and release the ball, but at first I couldn't do it quickly enough. There was also a technical change in the game that took me a while to get the hang of. In the past, we would toss the stick into our nondominant hand to catch a ball on that side, but now, in a cool move that's difficult to describe, you slide the stick into the nondominant hand.
My biggest challenges were the sprinting and endurance. In lacrosse you're constantly racing up and down the field. The need to keep up with other players during a scrimmage motivated me to keep moving even when I thought I couldn't do it any longer. Within a season, I had made great progress. Now I have much more speed and stamina when I'm in a game.
The team component is more vital for me at this age than it has ever been before. Discussions on the field about child rearing, job decisions, marriage and so on are priceless. But most of all, being on a team like this proves that when you're in your forties, it's not all over. Playing lacrosse now makes me feel powerful, not just on the field but in my life.

I really enjoy the challenge of setting a goal and achieving it. So last year, when I was trying to get more exercise and be a healthy role model for my children, I decided to run a fairly long race, something I had not done for about 12 years. I managed to find the right training program online (from marathon guru Hal Higdon, halhigdon.com/15Ktraining/GateIntro.htm). The goal was to gradually build up from three miles to 9.3 miles over eight weeks—and I really stuck to it.
I was amazed at how easy it was to train. The endorphin release definitely helped—it made me feel alive and exhilarated. And it was nice to operate in a different kind of mind-set than I do at my job. My work is very abstract, but when I'm running, concentration is required—focus on the next mile, then the one after that—and I'm not so concerned with the long term. I've been doing Pilates for the past three years, so I'm generally stronger, particularly in my core, than I was when I was younger. And because of the Pilates work, I think much more about my running form now. I concentrate on keeping my shoulders down and pulled back so my lungs can get the maximum oxygen.
Last November I completed a 15-Krace. Finishing those 9.3 miles in a better time than I had done while training gave me a terrific sense of accomplishment. I'd like to do a half-marathon in the spring—maybe the More/Fitness half-marathon—and to train for that, I'll focus a little more on improving my speed. One of the unexpected pleasures of all this is that my 10-year-old daughter did a 5-K in early January. Now I know I'm being a healthy role model!
Jane Ward | 59
Washington, D.C.
Part-time ophthalmologist, graduate student
When I was a student at Wellesley College, I loved rowing with the MIT team on the Charles River in Boston. I continued the sport during my advanced studies at the University of California, Berkeley. But after that, I didn't have time for the activity. Still, I always missed being on the water and the push of training hard for races.
Last spring, 34 years after I last rowed, I met a woman who encouraged me to come back to the sport by joining the Potomac Boat Club, a rowing club in Washington, D.C. Despite some hesitation over scheduling and the 5 am training, I gave it a try. I was a bit anxious about keeping up during the practices for the first week or two. And after the workouts I was pretty tired because I hadn't been exercising that hard on my own. But I soon felt at home again in the boat. I love being out on the water in the early -morning—it's both peaceful and energizing. I also enjoy the challenge of several women working together as a crew to coordinate each stroke.
I started out with some good skills: I tend to be very balanced in the boat, and my timing is good. But this time around, I discovered that I'd had a lot of bad rowing habits in my college days, and thanks to my muscle memory, I fell right back into them. For example, I was using my back too soon in the stroke—you want to push with your legs first and brace yourself with your back—and my hands would pause unnecessarily at the end of each stroke. So those were things I remembered but had to unlearn. And although that's taken some time, I have really appreciated the coaching that has helped me master the new millennium's improved techniques.
My team won its very first race last summer, at the Diamond State Regatta in Delaware. A few weeks later, we came in second at the Masters Nationals in Camden, New Jersey. Competitions bring out the best in me. When the boat truly flows, it's a real high that you want to experience over and over—I'm always seeking the elusive perfect row.
Yeah, I think I'm hooked again.

This web page provides the most current hourly measurement data available. Our convention for time-tagging data is the beginning of each hour. For example, values shown for the noon hour represent a sample collected during the noon hour (noon to 1:00 p.m) and then analyzed at the site during the following hour (1:00 p.m. to 2:00 pm). The noon values will not be available from the site until after 2:00 p.m. This results in an apparent two hour time lag in the data. We also present our data in Local Standard Time for each measuring site regardless of Daylight Savings Time Observance. For most of Texas this is Central Standard Time (sites in El Paso will be in Mountain Standard Time). During Daylight Savings, this introduces another apparent one hour time lag in the data.

Data is collected from TCEQ ambient monitoring sites and may include data collected by other outside agencies. This data is updated hourly. All times shown are in local standard time unless otherwise indicated.
Following EPA reporting guidelines, negative values may be displayed in our hourly criteria air quality data beginning 1/1/2013, down to the negative of the EPA listed Method Detection Limit (MDL) for the particular instrument that made the measurements. The reported concentrations can be negative due to zero drift in the electronic instrument output, data logger channel, or calibration adjustments to the data. Prior to 1/1/2013, slightly negative values were automatically set to zero.

Study Tips
· Plan 2 hours of study time for every hour you spend in class.
· Study difficult (boring) subjects first
· Avoid scheduling marathon study sessions.
· Be aware of your best time of day (when your energy is highest).
· Use waiting time—between classes, waiting for appointments, etc.
· Use a regular study area (if it's in your bedroom, read #7).
· Don't get too comfortable.
· Occasionally use a library for studying; you may need research materials to help.
· Pay attention to your attention! Catch your attention wandering and bring it back.
· Agree with living mates about study time.
· Avoid noise distractions.
· Notice how others misuse your time. Ask for their cooperation.
· Get off the phone.
· Learn to say, "No, not now; perhaps later."
· Hang a "do not disturb" sign on your door.
· Ask: What is one task I can accomplish toward my goal?
· Ask: Am I beating myself up?
· Ask: Is perfection necessary? Know when to lighten up on yourself a bit, and know when you really cannot afford to do that. Do not always approach everything the same way.
Ask: How did I just waste time? If that was not really in my best interest, how can I keep from doing that next time?
· Ask: If my occupation were that of a student, would I pay myself for the job I am doing right now?

Teaching & Learning
The AHA's broad-based teaching mission includes making resources available to educators at all levels and at public history venues, introducing and integrating historians into the discipline, providing ongoing education for historians at every stage of their careers—through topical and professional sessions at the annual meeting, and by way of both innovative web resources and distinguished print publications.
Historians are equally concerned with learning—their own ongoing research and other activities that expand their mission to bring history into public life. The AHA provides resources to historians in all fields and career paths, and advocates for the profession as a whole.
Sessions on Teaching at AHA16
We are pleased to announce our teaching and learning program for the 2016 annual meeting. The wide-ranging program presents you with the perfect opportunity to enhance your professional development and return to your classroom with a host of inspirational new ideas. The program covers teaching at K-12, undergraduate, and graduate levels, and caters to all career stages.
Check out our guides on teaching and learning:
AHA Statement of Support for Revised Framework for Advanced Placement U.S. History
The release of a new "framework" for the Advanced Placement examination in United States History has provoked controversy over the nature and content of the AP course. The AHA supports the direction that the College Board has taken with this new approach to Advanced Placement history education, as indicated in the framework and in the sample exam subsequently released by the Board.
AHA Tuning History Discipline Core
The following document represents the AHA Tuning Project's effort to describe the skills, knowledge, and habits of mind that students develop in history courses and degree programs. We have revised it since the first version was offered last fall. We articulate the ways history supports an educated workforce and citizenry and demonstrate that its value goes far beyond narrow professional training. Because we believe that any discussion of teaching and learning history must be faculty-driven, we have used the expertise of history faculty from nearly 70 different institutions to draft, debate, and revise our ideas. Grounded in the excellent work already done by the AHA and scholars of teaching and learning, we developed this set of core competencies and examples of specific ways students might demonstrate their competence.
AHA Teaching Prizes
Nominate someone today!
The Eugene Asher Award for distinguished postsecondary history teaching
The Beveridge Family Teaching Prize for distinguished K–12 history teaching
The William and Edwyna Gilbert Award for outstanding contributions to the teaching of history through the publication of journal articles
The Nancy Lyman Roelker Mentorship Award for teachers of history who taught, guided, and inspired their students in a way that changed their lives
A New Guide for Teaching in Civics, Economics, Geography, and History
In collaboration with over 20 states and 15 social studies content organizations, including the AHA, the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) has released a guide to help states strengthen their social studies standards. The "College Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies" encourages states to upgrade their social studies standards by offering robust guidelines to promote inquiry-based learning in civics, economics, geography, and history. AHA members and staff, joined by representatives of the Teaching Division, worked closely with the NCSS, state representatives, educators, and scholars to ensure that the standards demonstrate best practices in the discipline of history.

Break out the walking shoes. Valley Fair Mall is getting a major makeover as the second largest retail renovation in the state after City Creek Center. "It's undergone about $30 million in construction with $20 million left to go," says Jonny Arbuckle, general manager of the mall and VP of Satterfield Helm, the local company that owns the mall with Coventry Real Estate Advisors.
Built in 1970, the mall was one of the state's top shopping destinations, and the mall's food court, center court and south wing were given a fresh look in the late '80s. But then big-draw stores like ZCMI and Meier & Frank closed, foot traffic dropped and owners New Plan Excel made plans to sell. As the only mall in West Valley City, Arbuckle was frustrated by locals' preference for Fashion Place and other malls.
Clearly infrastructure wasn't the problem. So to win shoppers over, mall execs reached for the big guns. Costco opened on the property and 50,000 square feet of outbuildings were added, which house traffic drivers like Olive Garden (the top performing location for the restaurant chain in North America).
Satterfield Helm started keeping track of mall traffic after buying it in 2006. Since that time, shoppers have increased by 40 percent, thanks to a more attractive streetscape, cobblestone exterior and additions like In-N-Out Burger, Ross and Famous Footwear. As the interior of the mall is renovated this year, mall execs are courting more nationally recognized brands to mix in with mom-and-pop shops like Moda Bella boutique.
The mall's new town center features an amphitheater, fountains and an outdoor shopping experience similar to the Gateway, plus a Larry H. Miller Megaplex Theatre with 15 screens is also coming to the mall with a six-story IMAX screen set to open Nov. 1.
Renovations could account for a $50 to $70 million boom in sales this year.
Valley Fair Ups and Downs
Over the years, Valley Fair Mall has had its share of ups and downs. Here are some of the highlights (and lowlights) since local company Satterfield Helm bought the mall in 2006.
Costco opens on the mall property, kicking off renovations.
After a fight over a woman leads to a stabbing at the mall, one man is arrested while another is in stable condition.
Mervyn's goes out of business, leaving one of the mall's major anchors an empty shell.
50,000 square feet of outbuildings are built surrounding the mall to house chains like Olive Garden and Smashburger, along with local stores like Deseret Book.
After he's arrested for taping a Blackberry to his foot to film up women's skirts at the mall, 20-year-old Phuong Le complains he is short of breath in the back of a police car. When the officer exits the vehicle to check on him, Le slips out of his cuffs and into the front seat to lead police on a high-speed chase before crashing into a light pole near Rocky Mountain Raceway.
West Valley City's TRAX line is completed, giving the mall a boost in new business with a station just across the street.
The mall's town center opens with jet-pop fountains and an amphitheater, along with 100,000 feet of retail space anchored by Ross, Petco and Famous Footwear.
A new concourse opens between Ross and Red Robin, giving the mall an attractive west side entrance.
West Valley police shoot and kill the suspect of an armed robbery when a car chase ends under the I-215 overpass, which prominently neighbors the mall. The standoff also leaves two officers in serious condition.
Valley Fair Mall decks a 45-foot-tall Christmas tree with LED lights to create the tallest animated Christmas tree light show in the state.
The destruction of the old Mervyn's building begins to make way for a new Megaplex Theatre.
The I-215 and 3500 South Frontage Road opens, providing easy access from I-215 directly to the mall's parking lot.
Renovations begin on the mall's common areas, including the food court, to give a look and feel similar to the town center.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by lavalleem Luxurious touch to any room When I decided to repaint the interior walls in my great room, taking it from burnt almond to a light bright gray, that meant changing out my curtains (the others were also from World Market and held up great for 7 years) so why not go back to the store that sold me quality to begin with. Which is exactly what I did. I ordered these online and purchased in the store. I needed 8 panels and my local World Market only had one (which I am glad they did so that I could check out the fabric in person first), the 8 panels are hung on two per window and four for a sliding glass door. The sheen and the texture of the silver fabric provides great depth, the metal finish of the grommets only add to the look of the curtains. They are lined which keeps the room a bit darker, but also helps with insulation with the heat of the summer and the chill of winter. After having these curtains hung for almost four months now, I know I found the right ones for me and these will last me many years to come. All curtains are the same length and match beautifully. (Great part I got them on sale) December 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by melsysan Great curtains, great color These curtains are lined which is very nice, especially for the price we paid. They come with tiebacks which is also very helpful. The silk adds a nice sheen and brightens up the room. May 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dana34 A great buy for the money!! The curtains are beautiful!! The price and quality of the curtains is more than I could ask for!! The only bad thing is I have to go back and get more curtains. I wanted to make sure they were the rite color!!! November 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Heyjude Elegant Simple elegance is what I wanted for my dining room and these are. November 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janine12 Great product! I ordered these even though they were on back order, when I received them one of the packages had slice in it, ruining the curtain. I called and they sent out a replacement at no charge as soon as they were available. After that great service, I will be ordering again!! June 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by keren6 BEAUTIFUL!!! Fantastic value! Had been searching for the perfect curtains for months. Came across these and it was LOVE!!! They are the perfect length. Very rich looking. A little bit of a shimmer to them. Perfect length. They accent our home nicely. Definitely recommend!!! April 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Frenchy824 Luxurious looking. They are a beautiful pewter color. Looks like raw silk. Very lightweight. Blocks most light. A terrific value for the price! April 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cheapskate You get what you pay for. Nice if you're not terribly picky. These curtains are about what I expected. You'll probably find nothing nicer for the price. Main disappointment was the fact that the grommets are not equally spaced on the fabric as a nice custom drape should be. I haven't hung them yet and fear the uneven spacing will affect the way they appear and hang. Also, there was a small ink spot on one of the four panels I ordered. But again, if you press them, and don't look real closely, I think you'll fool most people into thinking you spent more for them than you actually did. January 30, 2014

Every drop counts
Managing Director David Simpson is an advocate of using systems to measure and reduce fuel usage and is now looking at the benefits of the Fuel Management Service. R W Simpson have been using Dynafleet since 2005 and, says David, his company is at an
advanced stage of measuring fuel usage.As result, they have achieved a 5% reduction in fuel usage.
The fleet covers around 9,000,000 Kms per year and the savings
from using a combination of Dynafleet, a driver fuel bonus system and an ongoing programme of professional driver development
equates to a reduction in fuel usage of 140,000 litres per annum.
In addition, there is the equivalent saving in carbon dioxide emissions. "Volvo is definitely a leader in fuel management systems such as Dynafleet. It is a good investment. Our fuel reduction programmes are self financing and the drivers respond positively."
The entire Fuelwatch concept is incorporated in the Fuel Management Service. Trucks specifications are optimised for the
best fuel efficiency. Drivers take part in professional development
training for fuel-efficient driving techniques and Dynafleet is used for maximum benefit. Overall the company benefits not just from lower costs and a reduction in accident and damage related risks, but also from a better image in the industry.
Watch the RW Simpson testimonial video about Volvo Trucks Fuel Management programme.

Rated 5 out of 5 by rdhmom These bowls are beautiful! We use these bowls on almost a daily basis. They are a wonderful addition to our usual table setting October 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by kgirl37 Lovely bowls, aesthetically pleasing I've been eyeing these bowls for a while and I finally purchased some. They are so pretty and just like the picture shows, every bowl has a unique design. They are not too big nor too small. I think they will be the perfect "soup bowl" for me. I haven't used them yet so I do not know how well they hold up to heat, cold etc. Overall, I am very pleased with these. April 22, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by ErinP These chip easily, but they're very beautiful I actually love these bowls-- I love the look of them, I feel happy every time I eat from them. The pedestal "foot" looks cool but makes it less stable to eat from the bowl if you're eating out of your lap or something. I shopped forever to find exactly the set of dishes that I would love, and finally ordered a whole mixed set of these Nomad dishes. The dishes seemed to be strangely not as heavy as I expected, but otherwise they were exactly what I was looking for. I used the dishes for about a month and I was going to buy more because they were so beautiful. But these dishes chip like nobody's business. After the first chip (about 2 weeks into using the dishes), we started being more careful about washing them, but more and larger chips started appearing. I am so sad because I was so enthused about these dishes and I still love them, but I just can't justify adding more to my collection when they start getting chipped up after a month of use. For comparison, I have some dishes from Target that I've been using and washing in the same manner for the past 5 years, No chips, only one broken dish (I dropped it on the floor). June 21, 2015

An annular pancreas is a ring of pancreatic tissue that encircles the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). The normal position of the pancreas is next to, but not surrounding the duodenum.
Annular pancreas is problem present at birth (congenital defect). Symptoms occur when the ring of pancreas squeezes and narrows the small intestine so that food cannot pass easily or at all.
Newborns may have symptoms of complete blockage of the intestine. However, up to half of people with this condition do not have symptoms until adulthood. There are also cases that are not detected because the symptoms are mild.
Conditions that may be associated with annular pancreas include:
- Down syndrome
- Excess amniotic fluid during pregnancy (polyhydramnios)
- Other congenital gastrointestinal problems
- Pancreatitis
Newborns may not feed well. They may spit up more than normal, not drink enough breast milk or formula, and cry.
Adult symptoms may include:
- Fullness after eating
- Nausea or vomiting
Exams and Tests
Tests include:
Treatment most often involves surgery to bypass the blocked part of the duodenum.
Outlook (Prognosis)
The outcome is usually good with surgery. Adults with an annular pancreas are at increased risk for pancreatic or biliary tract cancer.
Possible Complications
- Obstructive jaundice
- Pancreatic cancer
- Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
- Peptic ulcer
- Perforation (tearing a hole) of the intestine due to obstruction
- Peritonitis
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you or your child has any symptoms of annular pancreas.

ZF-1295: Zend_Cache_Backend_File use glob() to find cache files ?
Exist a particular reason to save expire timestamp in the cache file name ? If not the system must not search cached file
private function _file($id, $expire = null)
$path = $this->_path($id);
if (is_null($expire)) {
$glob = @glob($path . $this->_idToFileName($id, '*')); //??????????????????
$nbr = count($glob);
if ($nbr == 1) {
return $glob[0];
return null;
$fileName = $this->_idToFileName($id, $expire);
return $path . $fileName;
and on load a cache id this method will call on test expire date and on read file
It is superior to write the expire timestamp as first byte in the file -> better performance on test read only the first byte and unpack this to a integer and on load the opened file must not close after testing expire date
Zend_Cache related issue, assigned to Fabien
It is superior to write the expire timestamp as first byte in the file -> better performance
Are you sure about it ? Do you make some benchs ?
particulary when you do a clean with CLEANING_MODE_OLD
I have rewritten the class Zend_Cache_Backend_File but it is not tested yet. testing and bench comming soon
This class should fix ZF-1338, too.
new version
new version
new version
I write tags as serialized string a cache file named ".tag" The expirce time included as the first 4 bytes in the data file. The hash including data file, too (32 bytes after expire only is read control is enabled) The data file is named ".data"
now the tests pass without: testCleanModeOld & testGetWithAnExpiredCacheId this methods using public __expire ????
A very simple bench using tests (only Zend_Cache) like
$start = microtime(true);
for ($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {
echo "\n\nStart: $start\n";
echo "End:".($end=microtime(true))."\n";
echo ($end-$start)."\n";
result is:
my: 2.8983469009399 2.7813038825989 2.7996349334717 2.8102550506592 2.7592458724976
