GCC Ministerial Council holds 128th regular session in Jeddah
September 10, 2013
The Ministerial Council of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states held its 128th regular session at the Jeddah Conference Palace today. The participants included Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al -Faisal; Omani Minister Responsible for Foreign Affairs Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah; UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Qarqash; Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Khalifa; Qatari Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Khalid bin Mohammed Al-Atiyyah; Kuwaiti Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khalid Al-Hamad Al-Sabah; and GCC Secretary General Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al- Zayani.
After their consultations, the Foreign Ministers issued a statement touching on a number of regional issues:
The Council welcomed the initiative of Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa to establish an Arab human rights court, which will be headquartered in Bahrain.
Regarding counterterrorism, the Council reiterated the GCC states' firm renunciation of terrorism and extremism in all their forms, regardless of motivations. It condemned the recent attacks in Bahrain and expressed support for that country's efforts to end the violence and maintain stability. The Council also denounced the attack against the UAE's embassy in Libya, stressing the importance of protecting diplomatic missions. Finally, it condemned the recent bombings in Beirut, calling on all Lebanese parties to refrain from involvement in the Syrian crisis and to expedite the formation of a new Lebanese government.
On the topic of Iran, the Council expressed hope that the country's new president, Hasan Rohani, will contribute to improving GCC-Iranian relations, on the basis of respect for sovereignty and a refrain from the use or threat of force. In this context, it rejected Iran's occupation of three islands belonging to the UAE. Regarding Iran's nuclear program, it called for a peaceful solution to the crisis in line with the resolutions of the UN Security Council and the provisions of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Addressing the Syrian conflict, the Council expressed its great concern over the continuing humanitarian tragedy being inflicted upon the Syrian people by the Assad regime. It pointed out the flagrant human rights abuses being committed, including the terrible chemical weapons attacks against Damascus neighborhoods. The Council condemned the foreign forces, led by Hezbollah militias, who are assisting the Syrian government in killing thousands of people and destroying cities. Warning of the serious regional consequences of the conflict, the statement called upon the international community to punish and deter these terrible actions, despite the Syrian regime's attempts to gain time to continue its oppression. It also welcomed the election of Ahmed Asi Al-Jarba as President of the National Coalition for the Revolution's Forces and Syrian Opposition, wishing him every success.
Turning to Egypt, the Council expressed confidence in the actions of the Egyptian government and people, categorically rejecting foreign interference into the country's domestic affairs. It confirmed that the GCC countries stand firmly by Egypt's side.
On the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Council reaffirmed that a comprehensive, fair and permanent peace will not be reached unless Israel withdraws completely from the Arab territories occupied in 1967. It called for the creation of an independent Palestinian state with Eastern Al-Quds [Jerusalem] as its capital in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and international agreements and resolutions. The Council welcomed the diplomatic efforts being exerted by the United States to get the Palestinians and Israelis involved in direct negotiations, while condemning the counterproductive and illegal Israeli settlement building.
Regarding Yemen, the Council reviewed the implementation of the GCC initiative and its executive mechanism and reiterated its support for the efforts being exerted by Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi and the national reconciliation government to make the comprehensive national dialogue conference a success.
Moving on to Iraq, the Council called on certain Iraqi parties to end their interference into the domestic affairs of GCC states. It also denounced the frequent bombings carried out in Iraqi cities, resulting in numerous deaths. Finally, the Council welcomed Iraq's cooperation in the implementation of Security Council resolutions regarding outstanding issues with Kuwait.

I installed nmap from the Software Center and their version is
5.21. After this, I downloaded the latest version that is

What I should do and why?
- Uninstall the currently installed version and then install the new version. Or..
- Even with an older version installed, install the new one over this.
Is this applicable to upgrading any software packages on Ubuntu or it doesn't?

I just got an AK47 mag in 7.62x39. It was supposed to be a 5.45 mag for a 74. The only markings I can see on it is 34"A" at the bottom of the left side. The "A" looks kind of like a tall skinney A, probably a letter from another language. I have never seen bakelite mags in 7.62x39.
Can anyone help me identify this mag?

A Client called us with a common dilemma. She had purchased a new home in a brand new Development in Orange County that was just completed by The Irvine Company. The Irvine Company, like almost all current builders and developers are building new home with extremely tall windows. We've visited some new Developments back east that were built by Toll Brothers that had windows that were almost 25 feet tall. These are dramatic architectural design elements that are beautiful but certainly present a challenge when it comes to finding window treatments or drapery for extra long windows. At DrapeStyle, we make drapery for these longer windows all of the time. The reality is, you won't be able to buy drapery at a retail store like Restoration Hardware that will accommodate these windows.
Another consideration when ordering these extra long drapes is making sure that the hardware that you select will support the weight of the draperies. Drapes that are 10-20feet long are going to be quite heavy and there is just no way that a typical telescoping pole is going to support the weight of the drapes. You will need to be sure that you are getting solid rods that are properly mounted to support the weight of the drapery fabric.

Vineyard Map
At Biale we are also working with California's other most notable heritage variety (and a Robert Parker unapologetic favorite) Petite Sirah. Petite Sirah's vineyard reliability in any given vintage, saturated color, muscular structure, blend-ability, and pure mineral/blueberry black fruit make it for decades, along with Zinfandel, the long-time favorite grape among Napa Valley wine-growers. In fact, in the context of pure power, longevity, and hedonistic pleasure, the new wave of Petite Sirahs in Napa can rival most Cabernet Sauvignons. The old Napa Valley winemakers and wine-growers know "Pets", as they called it, contributed significantly to Napa Valley's early reputation for making world-class red wines. We also produce red blends and Zinfandel using Petite Sirah.
C.C. Ranch (Carpy Connolly Vineyard).
Rutherford Appellation. This vineyard, in the heart of Rutherford, produces Petite Sirah with the substance, character, and finesse this appellation has made famous.
Thomann Station Vineyard.
St. Helena Appellation. St. Helena's soils and sun are a perfect haven for Petite Sirah. Power and precision are the hallmarks of the Thomann Station vineyard.
Palisades Vineyard.
Calistoga Appellation. Calistoga's eastern bench is home to the great Palisades Vineyard where head-trained vines on an old creek bed produce Petite Sirah as dramatic as the setting.

Determined to slay her lifelong sleep demons, writer Patricia Morrisroe became an expert on insomnia. The result is Wide Awake (Random House), an, um, exhaustively researched, often hilarious memoir that proves useless as a bedtime-reading sleep aid. Here, she takes a break from counting sheep.
More: What surprised you most about the science of shut-eye?
Patricia Morrisroe: I thought everyone needed eight hours of perfect sleep, but that is not true. You need enough rest for you to function well. Some people are just not great sleepers, and they never will be.
More: That's why God made sleeping pills, right?
Morrisroe: It turns out we've been sold a bill of goods by the pharmaceutical industry. I was stunned to discover that newer pills help you fall asleep faster, but they only extend one's slumber for about 11 minutes.
More: Eleven minutes? Are you saying that my BFF, Ambien, is a placebo?
Morrisroe: There's no miracle drug. Sleep is fragile and tenuous—for the 10 days I believed in hypnotherapy, I slept like a baby.
More: You also attempted treatments like brain-music therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Did you find a remedy that worked?
Morrisroe: I tried everything. Finally I walked around the corner to my local Y and took a meditation course. Given that I grew up in the 1960s, I'm surprised it took me so long to attempt it. Meditating made me calmer, which was reflected in my sleep.
More: Is nodding off any easier for you these days?
Morrisroe: I don't panic anymore when I can't sleep for a few nights; the fear that one bad night might turn into many will land you in a mental institution. I know insomnia won't kill me.

It's been a good ride. I feel like I've accomplished a lot here these past couple of years. We've had some good discussions, a few laughs, and hopefully have learned a few things about being a virtuous man in a decidedly unvirtuous unmanly world. I like to think I'm leaving the internet a little more badical than I found it.
Thanks to all of you for helping make To Every Man a Manswer what it was. Your questions and comments helped keep this thing going, and I'm grateful to all of you for playing along. I thank my God every time I remember you.
I still have my email, so you can still get in touch with me if you have some sort of pressing concern related to general testostery, or if you'd like to discuss spiritual matters. I'll do my best to talk with you on an individual basis. Don't think of this as an Old Yeller type situation, where the blog has gotten rabies and has to be killed. Instead, think of it as a Rocky IV situation, where the blog has defeated communism and has nothing left to do, and if it tried to keep going the blog would be terrible like Rocky V and VI. Better to quit on a high note, I think. So for now, Dr Awesome is riding off into the sunset.
God bless you all.

By Fr. Joseph Tyrrell
My inspiration for running marathons? Well it all began because my feet were killing me. Seriously.
When I started serving as Master of Ceremonies at St. Patrick's Cathedral in 2008 I used to wonder how people can stand for so long. And I noticed that one of my fellow priests – ten years my senior – was not complaining.
His trick, he ran, not much, just a little.
Well, I had always been into sports. I pole vaulted, high jumped and played goalie for my high school hockey team and still bicycled and roller bladed in Central Park. But, according to my aching feet, this clearly was not enough. So, I started running for my health.
In December I started running and in January I began training for the New York City marathon. I have now run in four marathons, three in New York and one in Phoenix.
As a pastor, I talk a lot about the importance of tithing, not just in treasure but in time and talent as well. Tithing in treasure is easy to figure out. I just donate ten-percent of my salary as a pastor. Donating time is easy to figure as well. But figuring out how to donate my talent was tougher. I finally realized that I could run for a good cause and tithe my talent.
For the past 4 years I ran to raise funds for the National MS Society. A priest friend of mine struggles with Multiple Sclerosis. I did a good job, too, raising over $40,000 thanks to generous folks who supported my run.
This year, I chose Catholic Charities as the best way to tithe my talent. Over the past 25 years I have worked closely with them, sending numerous parishioners in crises to them for help. I've seen firsthand the good work Catholic Charities does helping children, those facing eviction and those needing support.
Moreover, thanks to Cardinal Dolan and a surprise encounter, witnessing him speed walking, I'm taking my training more seriously. We were in Central Park, and here he comes, rosary in one hand, cigar in the other and he passed me.
I realized I better start running faster. Please wish me luck and support me and Team Catholic Charities in the upcoming NYC ING Marathon.
Thank you!

For the more information about the geologic resources of the National Park Service, please visit http://www.nature.nps.gov/geology/.
Paleontology in the National Parks
The principal mission of the National Park Service is the preservation, protection, and stewardship of natural and historic resources "in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations." Fossils and the natural geologic processes which form, preserve, and expose them are included in this mission.
Paleontological resources, or fossils, are any remains of past life preserved in geologic context. There are two main types of fossils: body fossils and trace fossils. Body fossils arethe physical remains of ancient organisms (shells, bones, teeth, plant leaves, etc.) while trace fossils preserve evidence of an organism's activity or behavior (footprints, trackways, burrows, coprolites, etc.). Fossils are non-renewable natural resources that possess great scientific, educational, and interpretive value.
260 National Park Service areas are known to contain fossils either in the rocks of the park, in the park's museum collections, or in cultural contexts (such as petrified wood projectile points). Only 13 of these parks were established specifically to preserve fossils. Fossils from parks collectively span every period of geologic history from stromatolites one billion years old at Glacier National Park to Ice Age fossils in various Alaskan parks. Many of these fossils represent rare, specimens and assemblages which are often nationally or globally significant..

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
Bountiful Basil
by Deborah Wechsler
'Dark Opal' basil lends both flavor and color to culinary creations.
Basil Basics
Wait until soil is thoroughly warm before placing mulch around basil plants.
Basil likes a fertile soil, though it tolerates a wide range of pH (4.5 to 6.5). Although some folks insist that the flavor is better if basil isn't fertilized, grows and looks better if it's fed at planting time, and again during the season, perhaps after a heavy picking. Supplemental irrigation can double yields, Simon reports.
Like most herbs, basil has few pests. Japanese beetles can easily be kept off with spunbonded polyester row covers. If slugs are a problem on new transplants, try using a barrier of copper flashing.
A devestating disease, fusarium wilt of basil, reached North America via infected seed in the 1990s. Symptoms include sudden wilting and leaf drop, accompanied by dark streaks on the stems, usually in weather above 80?F. If you notice the symptoms, quickly dig up the infected plant, along with all soil around the roots, and discard it. If part of your garden becomes infected, avoid spreading the disease by moving soil around on your tools or tiller, and consider growing your basil in containers. You can also try your luck with a fusarium-resistant variety, such as 'Nufar'.
Basil is also susceptible to a few bacterial rots that show up on stems or leaf clusters, usually in cool, wet weather, in winter greenhouse production, or late in the season. Planting in well-drained soil, spacing plants so they dry out after they're watered, and practicing good garden sanitation are the keys to control.

It didn't take Y2K scares to look towards storing back some food. I generally rotate stock, and use/replace the older stuff, before it's obviously outdated. I do have some MRE's that are 10 plus years old that I'm tempted to open, and check the condition. I don't really trust outdated MRE's, and certainly dont want get food poisoning. What's the general rule besides a lab test? Are they Ok if they don't show signs of leakage, or package expansion? I can remember eating a "K" ration in Air Force BMT, and it was about 30 years old! I still remember that it was a Spaghetti with Meatball ration, and the meatball seemed more like a cold grease ball, than meat. Standard canned goods are another subject, and I've seen basic shelf life expectations posted on several websites. If I remember right, corned beef would last for a very long time, maybe forever?

We asked "Do you have it?" We didn't call in advance like (on the menu it says to give 24 hours notice). But our server checked with the chef and they had one ready to go. We spent two hours enjoying our Peking Duck at J. Wong's. It was worth every bite.
We started with a shrimp dim sum in a sweet and sour sauce and then moved on to the beef soup. Made with fresh ground beef, this Chinese specialty is not your typical won ton soup and came to our table piping hot. The soup was mild in flavor and garnished with scallions.
Then our first part of the duck arrived. The crispy, mahogany-colored skinned bird was freshly made and topped with plum sauce and served with steamed bread. Almost full, but not daring to eat all of the skin, the next plate of duck arrived. This time, the the meat was sliced thin and stirred with fresh vegetables and sweet spices accompanied with steamed rice.
The presentation was spectacular, as was the meal.
Peking duck is very high on the pecking order of a Chinese menu, but so worth it.
Next time you crave Asian food head downtown to J. Wong's. Talk to the family. Kwan Wong runs this establishment with her two sons and always finds the time to treat customers like family. When we left, almost every table was full—a sign that others have also discovered how great this restaurant is.
J.Wong's Asian Bistro, 163 W. 200 South, SLC, 801-350-0888. Open for lunch and dinner.

Now, thanks in part to a $17.5 million donation from the George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation, business students won't have to wait any longer. The beautiful, new $72 million Spencer Fox Eccles Business Building will be officially dedicated on the U campus Thursday, Nov. 10.
An initial "challenge grant" from the Eccles Foundation generated more than $34 million for the building, and Legislative funds covered $23 million for the project.
To celebrate, the school is sponsoring several events worth checking out:
A dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony takes place in the first floor atrium on Thursday, Nov. 10 at 11 a.m.
Alumni, students, donors and friends are invited to mingle with faculty and staff for an open house on Friday, Nov. 11.
And lastly, a pre-game "tailgate" party is planned before the football game against UCLA on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 1:30 p.m.
Currently, only phase one of the building is open, but when phase two is completed in May 2013, three major pavilions will be the building's highlights:
The James Lee Sorenson Leadership Pavilion, named for a famed entrepreneurial leader, will hold graduate education and features a 270-seat auditorium, student lounges and a café and terrace. (Phase one)
The C.R. England Student Community Pavilion, named after C.R. England refrigerated trucking company, has a large space for special events and breakout rooms for student-faculty interaction. (Phase two)
The Ken Garff Classroom Pavilion, named for the late car dealer, will hold 11 classrooms, a seminar room and a trading floor for business simulations, plus faculty research labs and offices. (Phase 2)
"It is fitting that we name our new home the Spencer Fox Eccles Business Building in recognition of the decades of tremendous support from the Eccles Foundation and the family's legacy of leadership in the state's and nation's business communities," said Taylor Randall, Dean of the School of Business, in a recent press release.
Spencer Eccles, Chairman Emeritus of the Intermountain Region of Wells Fargo & Co., is an alumni and has supported the U for decades. "I am excited to see great things come out of this innovative business school," he said in a recent press release. " It's going to make a positive impact on the economic vitality and business leadership in our state."

Bank robbery results in third person being charged
Published: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 10:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 10:12 a.m.
A third person has been arrested in connection to last year's bank robbery of the Members Credit Union location in Thomasville.
Toria Ladayle Holloman, 37, of 401 Kern St., Apt. A, Thomasville, was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center early Thursday morning under a $100,000 secured bond. She has been charged with felony robbery with dangerous weapon, along with two others — Clarence D. Lee, 41, of 5365 Esther Lane, Charlotte, and Avery Lamar Clark, 24, of 4540 Mill Village Road, Raleigh — both of whom face the same charge. Lee and Clark were arrested this past month.
The three people are accused of taking more than $22,000 in cash from the Members Credit Union at 100 Lines St., according to court documents.
A call about the robbery at the Members Credit Union came in about 1:30 p.m. July 18, 2012. A man entered the bank and displayed a semiautomatic handgun, according to the TPD. As he left with the cash, he got into a vehicle driven by another man.
Two tellers were inside the bank at the time of the robbery, police said. No shots were fired, and no one was injured. After the incident, police located a gold Buick Regal they believe the robbers used, but no suspects were found, according to emergency communications.
A TPD detective, according to arrest warrants, alleges Clark, Holloman and Lee stole $22,731 by threatening a teller with a semi-automatic handgun. The warrant for Clark's arrest was issued March 1 after an investigation by the TPD, the warrant for Lee's arrest was issued April 15, and the warrant for Holloman's arrest was issued Wednesday.
A spokesman with the Thomasville Police Department was not immediately available for comment Thursday morning.
Clark has a court date of May 28, and Lee has a court date Tuesday. Holloman has a court date of May 22.

Show #91 2012 Las Vegas Industry Summit Preview + NBA Hoops
- Details
- Hits: 4381
Sports Cards Radio will be on location again at the Orleans Casino in Las Vegas, NV from March 18 - 21 for the Sports Card Industry Summit.
It should be a great time - with lots of interesting topics & discussion that revolve around the event. Last year I remember lots of talk about getting Hobby Stores an advantage over online 'Blowout' type websites. Recently we've seen some online sites open physical stores fronts - possibly due to the stipulations Panini and Upper Deck put on retailers at last years event.
|One of the topics I remember is creating a 'hobby blaster' or essentially a different way to sell packs at the hobby level. We haven't seen any real movement on this front and I'll be curious to see if anyone pushes for this again this year.
Be Sure To Follow:
Ryan - SportsCardNews
We'll be tweeting throughout the event with interesting factoids.
- In 2011 everyone got a duffel bag with some cards from Panini, supplies and other items
- This looks pretty cool, and most people think of athletes as a way to bring traffic into a store - but actors, people on TV and others can attract collectors. Often times you can team these autograph signings up with sales of 8x10's and other memorabilia - often at a higher margin that most sports cards.
- I'm honestly not too sure what this is about - but possibly as a hobby store owner you get quite a bit of people wanting to sell cards to you .... sometime for cheap prices. You can buy these cards and while they might not move in your store - at auction or on COMC, you could make a little money from this traffic.
- I'm actually pretty curious to see what the 'scam alerts' might be ... possibly faking jersey patches and things like that? Hopefully we can fill you in on this one - as you always want to keep your guard up when buying any collectible, especially sports cards.
- I think e-mail newsletters are under-used. Twitter and Facebook take time to develop and often a shop owner doesn't want to put in the time. Yelp might be something a card store could use as well, but often isn't talked about.
- This is actually pretty entertaining, everyone speaks in the room and you get an idea how everyone's year went sales wise. In 2011 people were still feeling the effects of a down economy, so it will be interesting to see if the outlook is more positive in 2012.
- They gave out some 'free' drink tickets last year, and somehow I ended up with three of them.
- We'll squeeze in a day 1 wrap up show before the day 1 ends, be sure to tune in to see what the overall vibe of the event is on day one.
- If you're like me, at 7:30am in Las Vegas, you're either eating at a buffet because you stayed up all night gambling, or you're asleep. For those of you that already deal with All Sports Marketing, or don't need a relationship with them, typically these are a chance for the sponsors to talk about their company - so you only need to attend if you really want to.
- Not something you really need to attend if you're having a rough morning or have been to the event in the past ... but worth attending if you are brand new to the event.
- The host of the event Kevin Issacson is a really nice guy and does a great job organizing this every year. He's at the event for over 12 hours each day ... so it's not a vacation by any means. His forecast will probably be a bit biased to the hobby stores - as this is who the event caters to, but he is a straight shooter so this might be an interesting talk.
- Pretty much a break in the action, I think if you had a really great night in Vegas on Sunday - you could roll out of bed and show up at 11:00am and not have missed much.
- Who knows what Panini will have planned for this, last year they announced a new deal where hobby shops get product a week before 'online guys' and essentially killed selling Panini boxes on eBay. I don't expect any major announcements like that, but this is probably when you want to show up on day 2 ... go have lunch and be ready for the afternoon.
- This might be pretty interesting. I know Adrenalyn, eTopps and ToppsTown all took a dump this year because it seems there was some litigation that caused the card companies to pull out of this market. We'll see if they say anything about that.
- Looking for leadership is right! Boy, I remember sitting in 2 sessions last year about redemptions - and there seemed to be some good ideas floated around. However, we really haven't seen much effort by the card companies to make them more exciting and easier to redeem than previous years. One of the best ideas from last year were hobby shops who give you trade in value for redemptions you don't feel like redeeming.
- Not really sure what this means, maybe the fact that Beckett used to dominate the information scope when magazines were the only source of information (pre-internet). I actually think the hobby gets promoted way more now online than it ever did through traditional print media. Using this to your advantage is what most people don't understand, instead of waiting for Beckett or another site to write about your store or products ... you can literally do it yourself now!
- We don't own a hobby store, so we won't be attending these events.
- Sweet Deal is a wholesale sports card distributor located in California. This is a distributor that I either haven't came across, or is fairly new. I will be trying to gather some information from them, as they are located in my home state. Again, if you already do business with them - or have no need, you can stay in bed for this one.
- Hopefully they come up with some more ways to package cards other than just 1 box or 1 pack. Seems like the blaster boxes are cool and at the hobby level you could create some exclusive inserts for all the different distribution platforms you use.
- These are cool - based on the discussions that went on Monday - some 'solutions' will be hammered out during this session. Remember, I attended a session on redemption cards last year, so not too much has changed!
- You could argue that the companies should listen more than they talk during this event - because the hobby store owner is going to have a very good perspective on what helps products sell to collectors.
- Might be kind of interesting to catch this as the MLBPA has opened its doors to Panini in order to make baseball products. It's possible we see more deals like this in the future ... and maybe Topps won't be the only one with an official license in the future.
- These two meet the industry presentations are worth attending, I remember picking up lots of freebies for give-a-ways last year during this time. You also hear things like "We spent 1 Million Dollars On Our Website" - Beckett & "We think video cards are the next big thing" - Upper Deck.
- I didn't attend any of these events because I really wanted to just go chill in Vegas with my friends! However if you own a hobby store, these are worth attending because you can build some solid relationships during this time.
- I guess they toss these guys in at the end when everyone is packed up ;) Nah, these guys play an interesting role in the hobby and keep the bigger card companies honest when it comes to paying for signatures and things like that.
- This is actually pretty cool, but I'll be on my flight back to glorious Stockton, CA by this time. You should try and stay for this if you are a shop owner.
NOON: Show floor closes for 2012.
- Peace out and see you next year. I won't be attending any of the events on Wednesday, but it should be a solid wrap-up to the event. Kevin Issacson keeps you updated throughout the year with little tid-bits via e-mail, and we'll try to keep you updated on those as well.

Designer Pawel Czyzewski has taken a stab at what a new Bugatti coupe could look like. The Gangloff Concept lifts inspiration from the famous 1938 Bugatti Type 57 SC Atalante Coupe. That beautiful machine wore a body crafted by none other than French coach builder Gangloff, hence the concept's moniker. Wearing a few cues from the current batch of Veyron hypercars, including a familiar grille and cabin feel, the Gagloff is what the luxury coupes of our childhood dreams looked like. We dig the par

Campus Release | Pitchfork Awards Website | All 2013 Finalists
TEMPE, Ariz. - The Arizona State University's annual Pitchfork Awards has selected four Sun Devil student-athletes as finalists for the Outstanding Student-Athlete NCAA award. The awards show is April 4, at 7 p.m. in the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Phoenix.
Making the cut for the second annual Pitchfork Awards are four-time NCAA Shot Put Champion Jordan Clarke, cross country All-American Shelby Houlihan, volleyball libero and two-time Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week Stephanie Preach and All-American football defensive lineman Will Sutton. This is the first nomination for all four of the student-athletes.
Jordan Clarke | Track and Field | Eligibility in year of nomination: Senior
One of the most decorated student-athletes in Arizona State's history, Clarke won his fourth NCAA shot put title this spring at the NCAA Indoor Championship, with a mark of 20.86m. He was named to the 2013 Preseason Bowerman Award Watch List and has become part of history and helping ASU win 9 of the last 11 NCAA titles in shot put for indoor and outdoor on the men's side, a streak started by Olympian and Sun Devil great Ryan Whiting. Between indoor and outdoor throwing events, Clarke has been named an All-American on eight occasions. He currently holds the school's second-best mark in history in both the indoor and outdoor shot put behind Whiting. Should Clarke go on to win the NCAA Outdoor Championship in the shot put, he would become the just the second student-athlete in NCAA history to win five consecutive individual championships in the event outside Kansas' Karl Salb in the early 1970's.
Shelby Houlihan | Cross Country /Track and Field| Eligibility in year of nomination: Sophomore
Shelby Houlihan began her career as a Sun Devil last year as the first student-athlete in Pac-12 history to sweep the Newcomer of the Year award during the cross country and track and field seasons, earning Second-Team All-Conference honors in cross country. Backing it up this year as a sophomore, Houlihan clocked the fastest 6,000-meter cross country race in school history (19:58, Oct. 12) and earning her first bid to the NCAA Cross Country Championships where she earned All-America honors for the first time in her career with a time of 20:11.4 on the 6,000-meter course. She got there by posting a fourth-place finish at the NCAA West Regional Championships. She has been the women's team's top finisher in every race in her tenure and is the 10th Sun Devil runner to earn All-America honors since 1998. On the track side, Houlihan earned NCAA Indoor All-America status this season with a second-team nod for her performance in the 800m. Houlihan set the indoor school record in the event this season and now owns the school's indoor mile and 800-meter times.
Stephanie Preach | Volleyball | Eligibility in year of nomination: Junior
Stephanie Preach, a current junior libero from Phoenix, had a tremendous season in 2012, becoming one of just 15 Sun Devil volleyball players to surpass 1,000 digs in their career. Prior to the start of the 2012 season, she had 841 career digs and rolled to 1,460 at the conclusion to rank fourth all-time at ASU. She was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for the second time in her career and earned preseason honors on three All-Tournament Teams.
Preach, a libero, was nominated for her junior season. Her full bio is here thesundevils.com/sports/w-volle... twitter.com/SunDevilVB/sta...-- Sun Devil Volleyball (@SunDevilVB) April 1, 2013
Will Sutton | Football | Eligibility in year of nomination: Junior
During Will Sutton's junior year, he became ASU's 18th Consensus All-American, was Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl Defensive MVP and was named the Pac-12 Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year. He finished the season ranked second in the nation in 1.92 tackles for loss per game and third nationally with 1.08 sacks per game.
Criteria to be nominated for the Outstanding Student-Athlete NCAA award includes the leadership and excellence displayed in competition, how the nominee demonstrates leadership and excellence outside the field of competition and the demonstration of Sun Devil spirit, pride and tradition.
The 2012 winner of the inaugural Pitchfork Award was softball's Dallas Escobedo. As just a sophomore, she was nominated with Beate Jones, Elina Eggers and Jamie Sandys.
Also nominated as a Pitchfork Award Finalist is the 942 Crew, for the Sun Devil Spirit Award - Group. The 942 crew was spearheaded by men's basketball head coach Herb Sendek and Associate Athletic Director Bill Kennedy. The namesake of the club is based on 942 seats in the student section of Wells Fargo Arena. The 942 crew took its electric energy on the road as well, cheering on the Sun Devils at the Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament in Las Vegas this past season.

The world of rock and roll lost one of its loudest pioneers on Thursday, April 5, 2012, when Jim Marshall died at the age of 88.
Born in 1923 in West London, Dr. Jim Marshall, OBE, led his namesake amplifier company for the past 50 years, quite literally channeling the sound of rock and roll guitar. Dubbed "the Father of Loud," Marshall holds a singular place in the pantheon of innovators who developed the instruments and tools that provided the earliest rock and roll players the mechanisms needed to shape a once nascent genre. Along with Leo Fender, Seth Lover and Les Paul, Marshall was among the great patriarchs of the rock and roll sound we've grown to appreciate, cheer, love, emulate and worship.
Marshall used earnings from his days as a drum instructor to open a music shop in the early 1960s, where, as the story goes, his customers included such seminal guitarists as the Who's Pete Townshend. He and other budding guitarists in London would plant the seed of an idea for a guitar amplifier that undercut its American counterparts in price and delivered a signature tone not found in the market.
Whereas rival Fender ...

ZF-8888: Missing requires in Zend_Application_Resource_*
In the classes Zend_Application_Resource_Db Zend_Application_Resource_Dojo Zend_Application_Resource_Frontcontroller Zend_Application_Resource_Layout Zend_Application_Resource_Locale Zend_Application_Resource_Log Zend_Application_Resource_Modules Zend_Application_Resource_Navigation Zend_Application_Resource_Router Zend_Application_Resource_Session Zend_Application_Resource_Translate Zend_Application_Resource_View
which extend Zend_Application_Resource_ResourceAbstract is the require of the dependent class at the beginning of the class missing.
It should be: require_once 'Zend/Application/Resource/ResourceAbstract.php';
In the classes Zend_Application_Resource_Cachemanager Zend_Application_Resource_Mail Zend_Application_Resource_Multidb the require is set correctly.
Normally it works without the requires, but an error occurs, if you use "Zend_Loader_PluginLoader". I tried to add them, then the error was gone.
Can you please provide a usecase in which you use the resource plugins outside of Zend_App? These Resource Plugins are meant to be used in conjunction with Zend_App, and then it all works fine.
Added for consistency. Please note that they may be removed when Zend_App turns 100% dependent on autoloading (that will only occur with a major release).
I didn't use the resource plugins outside Zend_App. I added the following part to the application.ini:
resources.log.stream.writerName = "Stream" resources.log.stream.writerParams.stream = APPLICATION_PATH "/../data/logs/application.log" resources.log.stream.writerParams.mode = "a+" resources.log.stream.filterName = "Priority" resources.log.stream.filterParams.priority = 5
and in the index.php the loader-cache:
require_once 'Zend/Loader/PluginLoader.php'; $classFileIncCache = realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../data/cache') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'LoaderCache.php'; if (file_exists($classFileIncCache)) { include_once $classFileIncCache; } Zend_Loader_PluginLoader::setIncludeFileCache($classFileIncCache);
in this constellation the described problem occurs.
thanks for adding the requires.

Reviews for Pumpkin Cheesecake Deluxe
"I have the same issues with the cooking time, almost TWO hrs ....ive never tasted it as I'm not a fan of pumpkin or cheesecake but I've made it several times and it's always a big hit"
"a Thanksgiving tradition.. a 2008 recipe.. another recipe, deluxe pumpkin cheesecake.. is a 2009 recipe.. modified by another.."
"Made this recipe for Thanksgiving. After reading the reviews I was worried about baking it long enough. After 75 minutes, when I tapped the cake, it still jiggled more than an inch in diameter in the center. I took it out anyway and hoped that it would set in the fridge. When I served it, the very center was still not set but the rest of the cake was delish!!! The family thought it was a smashing success.... Has a wonderful creamy, pumpkin flavor. Perfect blend between cheesecake and pumpkin pie."
"Very good flavor and texture,although it took a lot longer time in the oven than the recipe states. I had to check and recheck it got to be very irritating. I have made several cheese cakes before and never had the trouble baking like I did with this one. Very delicious!"

Reigning National Champion Men's Squash Opens Title Defense In Home Pair
All of this weekend's home squash matches will be streamed live on GoPrincetonTigers.TV. Because we are utilizing new technology, with hopes that it will make all matches available, this weekend's matches only will not require a subscription.
Perhaps you remember the last time the Princeton men's squash team played a home match. If not, let's refresh your memory.
The date was February 19, 2012, and Princeton was trailing 4-2 in the final shift of the CSA national championship match. Trinity, the reigning 13-time title holder, carried a 1-0 lead on one court and had two of its best waiting on the others.
Over the next hour, the Tigers put together one of the most magical stretches in program history, if not Princeton athletic history. One final drop shot by Kelly Shannon '12 sent both his teammates into Court 3 for a championship celebration, as well as a capacity crowd into a frenzy.
For the first time in two decades, Princeton now comes into a season as both the reigning national champion and the top-ranked program, but it knows that there are plenty of obstacles looming. Besides a loaded Ivy League, which includes former No. 1 Yale, Ivy scrimmage champion Harvard and 2012 team semifinalist Cornell, Rochester remains a rising program and opening opponent Franklin & Marshall continues to improve.
And then there is Trinity, which always reloads for a run at the title.
But Princeton feels good about its own squad, despite several key losses to graduation last spring. There is serious strength at the top of the lineup, but head coach Bob Callahan also feels good about the potential depth. There will be new faces in the lineup, and they may need some time to adjust, but you can expect Princeton to be ready to defend its title during the final weekend of February in New Haven, Conn.
Senior co-captains Todd Harrity and Steve Harrington will lead the charge for Princeton this season. Harrity will leave the program as one of its greatest players ever, but he has every intention of enhancing his résumé this season. And that won't be easy.
Harrity is a three-time All-America, a two-time individual finalist and the 2011 national individual champion. While a pair of newcomers to the league picked up wins over Harrity last season, he answered the call when Princeton needed it most. He was one of two Princeton players to go unbeaten in the team championships, and his 3-0 win over Trinity evened the team final at 4-4 and allowed for Shannon's clinching win.
Harrity will also be plenty motivated to return to the individual final, and he has a pair of Ivy League opponents to use as motivation. Harvard junior Ali Farag is the reigning national champion, while Columbia sophomore Ramit Tendon knocked Harrity out in the semifinal. The Princeton senior will push himself hard to move past that duo and become the program's eighth multiple-time individual champion.
Harrington may not be challenging for individual titles, but his performance last season was as crucial as any in Princeton's Ivy and national championship season. He won 12 matches playing mostly in the eighth spot, and his hard-fought win in the team semifinal helped Princeton avoid a Cornell upset. Harrington is a two-sport champion, having been a key part of the 2011 Ivy League baseball title, and his competitive drive will serve as tremendous leadership for a youthful roster.
Leading the junior class is Dylan Ward, who posted Princeton's best win percentage in the varsity lineup last season, and who led the national championship-clinching rally against Trinity in the CSA final. It was Ward who trailed 1-0 with Princeton down 4-2, but he fought back for the 3-1 victory that ignited the championship push. Ward went 15-1 during the team season, and his length and power make him a challenging opponent for anybody in the middle of the lineup.
Ash Egan may not have gained Ward's experience, but he had as big a regular season victory as anybody last season. Egan trailed 1-0 at Harvard before rallying for a 3-1 victory; that match helped Princeton to a 5-4 team victory and provided the edge for the Tigers' Ivy League title win. Egan went 6-5 during the season, and will likely be called upon for a greater role in the lineup.
A crucial duo in Princeton's 2011-12 championship season was the freshman pairing of Tyler Osborne and Samuel Kang, and Callahan is excited to see what they can do with a year of experience under their belts. Osborne earned All-Ivy League and second-team All-America honors after going 14-2 during his freshman season. He didn't lose an Ivy League match during the regular season, but he saved his best for last. In the team final against Trinity's Miled Zarazua, who owned an 8-1 record over Osborne, the Princeton freshman thrilled the home crowd with a tough 3-0 win. He is a gutsy competitor with a skill set that can match up with almost anybody.
Osborne ended the season ranked 15th nationally. A few spots below him was Kang, his classmate and a recipient of All-America Honorable Mention. Kang went 12-2 during his freshman season, and he outlasted Cornell's William Hartigan for a 3-2 in the national team semifinal. Like Egan, he also had a critical win at Harvard (3-2 over Nigel Koh), and Kang's relentless play on the court will serve him well as he likely moves into a top-three position.
That is six players with varying levels of varsity experience, but Callahan will need to send three more to the court if he plans on defending his Ivy and national titles. One likely option is sophomore Taylor Tutrone, who went 7-2 last season and has made a huge jump in the offseason. Callahan believes he could be a force in the middle of the lineup and have the type of impact that Ward and Harrington had last season.
Sophomore David Hoffman was Tutrone's teammate at the Gilman School, and he could share a spot in the varsity lineup with him again this season. Hoffman won eight of nine last season, including three at the No. 9 position, and will be vying for a consistent spot at the bottom of the ladder this season.
Senior Chris Greco and sophomore Jacob Lee will also contend for those spots, as will a quartet of freshmen. The performances of Osborne and Kang last season proved just how important a new class can be in a championship season, and it's likely that this talented group will need one or two players to have a similar impact this season.
The most likely contender for a varsity spot is Vivek Dinodia, who reached the No. 2 ranking in India for U-15s, and he reached Top 4 in both U-17 and U-19. Sam Ezratty earned his best ranking of No. 2 at the U-17 level during his junior year at the Hackley School, while Michael LeBlanc reached a No. 10 national ranking at the U-19 level. Nick Barton competed for the Bermuda Junior National Team.
With the improved depth in the sport, the Princeton schedule should be as challenging as ever. Saturday's season-opening opponent, Franklin & Marshall, is ranked seventh in the preseason poll and is one of the most improved teams in the nation.
Starting in December, the Tigers will host Top 5 programs every month; Rochester comes in Dec. 8, Harvard visits Jan. 13 and Trinity returns for a championship rematch Feb. 16.

ZF-5163: _getParam in Controller/Action don't handle 0
Example $this->_setParam('foo', 0); $foo = $this->_getParam('foo', -1);
$foo is set to -1 instead of the expected value 0
This is because the method in Controller/Action.php does a null == $value check instead of null === $value. It should be modified to look like this: protected function _getParam($paramName, $default = null) { $value = $this->getRequest()->getParam($paramName); if ((null === $value) && (null !== $default)) { $value = $default; }
return $value;
Set component and auto reassign
This issue still affects version 1.7.8 !!
The bug also occurs if param's value is false.
By any means, this is not minor!
The params come from the url, so technically they will always be strings, the number 0 and a boolean value aren't really possible to be part of the params.
but I agree that for sanity's sake it should be fixed.
In my case i was setting values in one action using _setParam and then used _getParam in another action, so it does not always have to come from the URL.
This is a MAJOR issue !
As proposed the simple patch if ((null == $value) && (null !== $default)) {
if ((null === $value) && (null !== $default)) {
Fixes it. Problem with 0 and "", both handled like param not present.
Please fix it ASAP.
Attached (simple) patch implementing the suggested solution, if this is deemed a bug by upstream. I would suggest it is.
~My CLA has been submitted, -but not yet processed-~
Attached a unit test that tests the conditions of this bug. Is it a good idea to add these conditions (0 as value for setParam) to other unit tests like getParams as well?

It's official: The United States is experiencing a flu epidemic, the worst in several years. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 20 children have died of flu so far this winter — and that is likely a conservative count. The agency does not announce the number of adult flu-related deaths until the end of the season, but it is presumably higher than usual: 47 states have reported significant public-health impact from the first wave of flu. (The CDC defines flu-related deaths as those in which the flu infection was a contributing factor, if not the primary cause.)
In states like New York and cities like Boston, officials have taken steps to declare public-health emergencies, freeing up reserves of vaccines and loosening rules to allow pharmacists to administer shots to children, who, along with the elderly, are at highest risk. (Learn more about the latest outbreak from Google's interactive Flu Trends map.)
(MORE: Yes, You Really Do Need a Flu Shot)
For most people who come down with the flu, it may make you extremely sick over the course of a week or more and then subside. But for young children and people over 50, especially those with other health conditions, the flu can be far more serious, even life-threatening.
As we age, our immune systems weaken, making us more vulnerable to airborne illnesses, like the flu. According to the CDC, 90 percent of flu-related hospitalizations and 50 percent of flu-related deaths occur among people who are 65 or older.
Of course, the surest thing you can do to keep the virus at bay is to get the vaccine through your health-care provider or at your workplace or local pharmacy. "Getting the influenza vaccine once a year is the best defense, especially for people over 50," says Dr. Carolyn Bridges, associate director of adult immunizations at the CDC.
Health officials had recommended that people get the flu shot or nasal spray by late October or November, before sick season kicked into high gear, because it normally takes around two weeks for the vaccine to become effective. But it's not too late to get a flu shot even now, although you might have to search a bit for providers that still have shots available. "It may take two or three calls, but it is well worth it," Bridges says.
You can check for availability online by using the HealthMap Vaccine Finder. Most insurance plans cover the flu shot without copay; Medicare Part B fully covers the vaccination.
The flu shot may be the most effective defense, but it's not foolproof. In a preliminary CDC study, experts rate this season's edition as 62 percent effective in combating current strains, which is within the typical annual range of 50 to 70 percent effectiveness. Bridges also advises everyone to make sure they're current on other shots, including the vaccine that prevents pneumonia. This applies especially to people who have compromised immune systems, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
You cannot get the flu from the flu vaccine, but some people do experience short-term side effects, such as soreness, redness or swelling at the spot of the injection; low-grade fever; or aches, none of which should persist beyond one or two days. On rare occasions, people can experience a severe allergic reaction to the flu shot. People who have ever had such a reaction or who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs should talk to a doctor before getting the shot, and anyone who has ever had Guillain–Barré Syndrome should not get the shot without consulting a doctor. If you have a cold or fever, don't get the flu shot until you've fully recovered.
(MORE: Why We Don't Do What's Good for Us)
As with all vaccines, the flu shot is more effective the more widely it's administered. So to better protect yourself and others, urge family, friends and co-workers to get vaccinated too. "It is especially important for caregivers," Bridges says, "and for grandparents who could expose newborns and infants under six months, who are too young to get the vaccine."
Typically, about 37 percent of all Americans get a flu shot each year; given the severity of this season's outbreak, the CDC hopes that closer to 50 percent of the population will eventually be vaccinated. The agency has encouraged officials to actively promote the shot nationwide.
Is It the Flu or Just a Cold?
Worried that you may have the flu? It isn't always easy to know, Bridges says. Like a cold, the flu can come with a cough or sore throat and a stuffy or runny nose. But unlike colds, the flu is also typically characterized by inflammation, headaches and achy muscles, along with a fever of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Nausea and diarrhea are other common symptoms.
When Should I See a Doctor?
- If you do have the flu, prescription antiviral medications like Tamiflu or Relenza can lessen the symptoms, which can also include:
- Difficulty breathing.
- Pain in the abdomen or chest.
- Dizziness.
- A fever that spikes at 100 or above.
- A seizure.

text: The Grateful Dead's "Wall of Sound" was among the band's greatest gifts to fans and a remarkable technical achievement. Powered by McIntosh amps, the Dead's "Wall of Sound" quite literally helped set the stage for some of the group's most triumphant live performances. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial director Howard Kramer tells the story of its creation.

Linkin Park guitarist Brad Delson recently did a phone interview with Philippines newspaper "The Philippine Star." In the interview Brad looked back at the success and meaning of "A Thousand Suns" while also talking about things like his charity opportunities, his thought's on Linkin Park's staying power, and how the band continues to evolve. Here are highlights from the article:
Looking back on "A Thousand Suns":
"I'm very proud of the album A Thousand Sounds. It was really a labor of love. And I'm appreciative of all the amazing support we received because it definitely was a departure from our earlier records""It's a concept album in the sense that it's a cohesive narrative — a creative journey that we set the listener on. It's not conceptual in the literal sense, but it's conceptual because it's a cohesive album as opposed to a collection of songs""It's definitely, you can say, political and global-themed, but on a personal level, like the unconscious level, I wouldn't say that there's really an overt message… it's more of an emotional or subconscious exploration of fears that we confront on a daily basis," Brad said. "The emotional substance in the album is something that resonates with most of us in the band."On the charity opportunities that he has:"We have very eclectic arrangements that it's almost impossible how to figure playing them live. It requires a lot of flexibility and ingenuity. A favorite track would have to be When They Come From Me because here I get to do drums, guitars and sing a little bit. It definitely is a challenge performing the songs every time."
Regarding the 15 year anniversary of the band's creation:"What's really cool about being in this group is that there are so many diverse opportunities not just for creative expression or for business. But it has also put us in a position to help people. I am personally interested in it, and it's something I enjoy doing"
Talking more about the band itself:"That makes me feel very old," Brad laughed. "But it's been fantastic because when we started playing music together, we just did it for fun. We certainly never thought that we'd get paid to do it, that we'd get to travel the world, including the Philippines, and perform before many great people. So, it's really a blessing and I try not to take it for granted."
"Everyone's real cool, goofy and fun. When we're not on stage, the energy is very light, there's a lot of amateur comedy going on. The operative word is 'amateur'," he said. "Before the band started, we were friends. Through the years, we've worked really hard to be respectful of each other. As we grow older and hopefully wiser, the level of friendship has also grown."Asked for the secret of Linkin Park's staying power, he pondered, "I think the fundamental tenets for the building blocks of longevity have been creative honesty, openness to risk and integrity. By the latter, we mean we're not thinking of how we can make this or that song make people feel (a certain way) about it. We create music that inspiring to us."You can read the full article HERE"In terms of work, the stage the band is at… it's always a moving target. I can speak for myself that I'm very appreciative of the opportunities that we have artistically. I'm very proud of the music we're continuing to make. I love how things keep on changing and evolving."
As many Linkin Park fans know, interviews from Brad are hard to come by as of late. Especially one this long. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the forums!

Being pregnant with more than one baby is exciting and is often a happy event for many couples. However, multiple pregnancy has increased risks for complications. The most common complications include the following:
In recent years, a procedure called multifetal pregnancy reduction has been used for very high numbers of fetuses, especially four or more. This procedure involves injecting one or more fetuses with a lethal medication, causing fetal death. The objective of multifetal reduction is that by reducing the number of fetuses in the pregnancy, the remaining fetuses may have a better chance for health and survival. Consult your physician for additional information.
