Expert Markup Handlers for AT: A Proposal From Open A11y (Draft 3)
- Title:
- Expert Markup Handlers for AT: A Proposal From Open A11y
- Pete Brunet, IBM
- Vladimir Bulatov, View Plus Technologies
- Gregory Rosmaita, Vice-Chair, Open Accessibility
- Janina Sajka, Chair, Open Accessibility
Generalized content markup (such as HTML) is complimented by markup specifications that facilitate more semantically precise content markup.
Examples of specialized, semantically precise markup include MathML and
MusicXML. Assistive technology (AT) typically handles generalized content
markup, but does not know about specialized markup. Because of this, users of
AT are unable to access or navigate specialized markup effectively.
The Open A11y Expert Handlers group is exploring a standardized plug-in mechanism for AT software. The goal of this plug-in standard is to allow AT software to take advantage of expert software that understands specialized markup. This plug-in standard will allow the expert software to provide enhanced, semantically rich access to specialized markup so that AT can properly render (visually, aurally, and/or tactilely) and help users navigate the semantic meaning encoded in the specialized markup, however that specialized markup is encountered, e.g. in the context of a word processor document, a DAISY book, or a web page.
The Open A11y Expert Handlers SIG has gathered use cases and developed
requirements for proposed plugin specifications covering:
- Braille
- Speech Input & Output
- Magnification
- Alternative Input
- Content Navagability
In this session, the panel will explain its work to date and invite comments on
its work from the audience. A comparison with existing specialized markup
assistive technology will be presented briefly as well in order to illustrate
the need for the platform and toolkit neutral plugin mechanism Open A11y

BOULDER-The University of Colorado is set to compete at the inaugural Pac-12 Track & Field Championships Friday and Saturday, May 12-13, at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
The Buffs are looking to do well at the meet. The women are in first place after the heptathlon, which was contested last weekend, and the men are fourth with six points from the decathlon.
Colorado has been known as one of the top distance schools in the country and that is for good reason. This year two Buffs lead the NCAA. Shalaya Kipp ran the top time in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (9:43.09) and Jessica Tebo raced to the best time in the 5,000 (15:19.43). Tebo has also performed well in the 1,500 and is fourth in the Pac-12 (4:15.15) and Kipp is 10th in the 5k this year (16:00.40).
The men also look to do well. Aric Van Halen owns the best steeplechase time in the conference at 8:42.79 and Hugh Dowdy is fifth (8:57.62). Christian Thompson, Andy Wacker and Martin Medina are seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively, in the 10k. All three have done well in the 5k at past conference meets and could likely score some points for CU.
Junior Joe Morris has been leading the CU sprinters all season. He ranks fifth in the Pac-12 in the 100 (10.42), sixth in the 200 (20.77) and 11th in the 400 (47.28). Kyle MacIntosh is the top hurdler and is seventh on the conference performance list in the 400-meter hurdles (52.20).
The women have a lot of youth and have been led this season by freshman Eileen Gehring. Her best event is the 400 as she set the CU record of 54.21 earlier this season, which ranks 16th in the league.
Colorado is represented well in the field events. Mark Jones and Kelsey English lead the Buffs in the high jump. Jones is seventh on the men's side (7-00.50) while English is sixth (5-10).
The Buffs also have a pair ranked in the top 10 of the throwing events. Brady Rutt is eighth in the discus (168-00) and Alex Kizirian ranks eighth in the hammer (196-11).
The meet will start at 10 a.m. on Saturday with the women's hammer throw; the first track event will start at 1:25 p.m. with the first round of the 4x100-meter relay. Sunday's events start at 10:45 a.m. with the women's discus. The championships will conclude with the women's 4x400-meter relay at 4:15 p.m. and will be followed by an awards presentation.
Live stats and a complete schedule for the championships can be found at pac-12.org and goducks.com.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by stephanie110 Simple and Beautiful! I love this pillow. Not only is it soft and cozy, it's a perfect, subtle pop of color to finish off a bed pillow display. Thank you! September 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by suspsendedingaffa Amazing for the price I bought two of these surf blue pillows to go on my couch. They are paired with Ink Blue velvet pillows from West Elm and not a single person can tell that the World Market pillows are half the price. The color is accurate and very pretty. I'm planning on getting more of these pillows in various colors for use in other areas of my house because they are so nice. March 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Andy Very Pretty Love these generously sized and stuffed throw pillows. Color was exactly as pictured (blue surf) and they are a great value. I am buying more and would recommend them to others. December 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by AuntieM Pillows smaller than expected I thought 18" meant the pillow was 18". It means the cover is 18" before stuffing when it becomes maybe 15" across. Other than that, good quality for the money. Color pretty close. October 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Icedancer A Little Disappointing The color was exactly what I needed but the stuffing should be a bit larger to fit the corners of the pillow. Since it does have a zipper I am going to try stuffing the corners so that the pillow will look more attractive. I was going to insert my old throw pillows into the covers of the new but then realized that the new ones were 18" and my old were 16". However the feel of the pillows is nice and they are comfortable against your back. November 9, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by RTinNJ Not blue surf enough.... The color is more sage green. The image on my computer is much more aqua blue in color, and that is what I was looking for. I will keep the set of 2 that I ordered as it's not worth the hassle to return. July 17, 2014

ZF-11281: PHP notice when calling isSuccess() on a Zend_Service_Twitter response
I'm unsure whether this is a bug in the Twitter service, Zend_Rest_Client_Result, or the result of non-standard behaviour in the Twitter API itself.
Consider this code:
$api = new Zend_Service_Twitter([...]);
$params = array(
'since_id' => '12345' // <-- id of latest tweet
$response = $api->status->userTimeline($params);
if ($response->isSuccess()) {
if this query returns tweets, everything works fine. If there are no tweets in the result (e.g. nothing has been posted since the tweet specified), the following PHP notice is generated by the isSuccess() call:
{quote} Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /path/to/zf/Zend/Rest/Client/Result.php on line 184 {quote}
The cause seems to be the getStatus() call in Zend_Rest_Client_Result, which is running an xpath query looking for a field called 'status' in the XML response.
If the response does contain tweets the XML looks a little like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
If no tweets are returned, the XML looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
It seems like Zend_Rest_Client_Result is expecting there to be a string field called status in the XML response, and for the Twitter service this works by fluke most of the time simply because the responses usually include tweets, which are in a block called . When there are no tweets in the result the notice is generated.
Simple fix. I've attached a patch which checks to see if $status[0] exists and returns false if it doesn't.
Reproducing test suite is included in patch.
Running ZF test suite showed no ill-effects from this patch.
Fix in trunk r23884 (PHP files) and r23890 (added forgotten XML file)
Hello, Adam. I will push [solve] button as proxy for You. If You want to release at next mini, You can merge these commits from trunk to 1.11 branch.
Not merged yet, merging shortly.

I can not stress this enough. If you are on a topic to play Pokemon, not talking about math assignment yesterday. Either start a new thread in the appropriate forum or search for a topic that speaks for the job.

The 2 pear-shape domes at the center of this bangle are dripping with radiant .55 ct. t.w. diamonds, lending a touch of lavish glamour. Pure 14K yellow gold chevron collars accent each dome with rich color that contrasts dramatically with the sleek sterling silver band, while an intricately designed under gallery exudes sophistication.

Comments about BJs Wholesale Club .55 ct. t.w. Diamond Bangle in Sterling Silver and 14K Yellow Gold:
My husband brought this for me for valentines day. It was beautiful when I first got it. After a month the silver got dull. I polished it with silver cleaner and it's still dull. The diamonds don't shine as much as the picture. The 14K yellow gold accent completely faded and is gone. All I have left is a silver bracelet with low quality diamonds. Wish I could return it and get my money back.

"Out of a windless August nightA luna moth in ghostly lightBeat softly on my window screenTick-tick-ticking-all silver green.She whispered secrets in my earI am but a stranger here.The stars are scrawled across the skyBy ghostwriters, the Moon and I.You will not see me here tonightI have a thousand stars to write."

Patrick Lewis and paired with vibrant animal photography, this collection of poems is an exuberant celebration of the animal kingdom and a beautiful introduction to this genre of literature. Designed for family sharing but targeted to ages 4-8, this dynamic, fresh, yet still classic collection of animal poems is a must-have for the family bookshelf.

I ordered two of these for two (unrelated) extremely bright five-year-olds for their birthday. They loved the bright, beautiful pictures. They will grow into the poetry and will be able to appreciate it for years to come. Their parents also love the pictures and poems and delight in reading and sharing with their children. I was mightily tempted to get a copy for my own three-score-and-ten-year-old self. NGeo's photography is simply the best!
This book is a gem.

Savor the Summit this year was an absolute blast and Cuisine Unlimited loves being involved each year.
We had two tables with two different menus and themes. Our chef, Steve Ulibarri, created two menus. One was our Mediterranean Grill. We wanted something different than the traditional Greek hors d'oeuvres and he developed a new appetizer that everyone enjoyed. In Greek, it is called Bourekakia (pronounced boo-reh-Kank-yah). It is made with a combination of feta, kefalotyri and Edam cheeses cigar rolled into the lengthwise cuts of toasted breadcrumb eggplant.
Here's the full recipe:
Bpourekakia Melitzanas—Eggplant Appetizer Rolls (yields approximately 50 rolls)
1 egg
1-cup cold water
½ cup olive oil
2 cups flour
1 can evaporated milk
7 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup grated kefalotyri (or pecorino) cheese
1/3 cup grated Edam cheese
3 T. finely chopped fresh dill
2 t. sea salt
2 t. ground white pepper
For Frying
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups toasted breadcrumbs
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
oil for frying
2 1/4 lbs. of large eggplants
Beat the egg with one-cup water until fully combined. Set aside. In a frying pan, heat ½ cup of olive oil over medium heat. Add flour and stir with wooden spoon. Cook until golden. Add evaporated milk and the water-egg mixture and cook to combine thoroughly. The color may darken. Transfer to a mixing bowl and cool to room temperature.
When cool to touch, add cheeses, dill, and seasonings. Set aside.
Wash eggplant. Trim stems and cup in very thin slices lengthwise. This will make about 50 slices. Add several tablespoons of oil to a frying pan and sauté the eggplant slices until soft, pliable and golden brown.
Form a rounded teaspoon of the filling into a sausage shape and place at end of the eggplant and roll. Place each roll in the flour, dip in beaten egg and roll into the toasted breadcrumbs. Dip in egg once again. Fry in the hot oil. Serve hot.

PCC in the News
News: Men's Soccer Undefeated In Last 4 Games
The Pasadena City College men's soccer team has appeared to turn a corner in the 2012 season and its recent play has produced a four-match undefeated streak. The Lancers are 2-0-2 in the stretch following a 2-0, South Coast Conference blanking of East Los Angeles College Tuesday at Robinson Stadium.
The Lancers are 3-8-5 overall and moved above .500 in SCC play at 3-2-4. PCC also avenged a 3-0 setback against ELAC back on Sept. 28. In fact, PCC has only lost once since that match in going 2-1-4 in the last seven conference matches. PCC's defense has allowed just eight goals in that period, scoring nine and keeping each contest close for 90 minutes.
Against the Huskies (5-7-4, 3-6 in SCC games), the Lancers broke a scoreless duel two minutes into the second half when Luis Flores headed in a perfectly placed free kick by Zachary Larson from the near side of the 20-yard line for his second goal of the year. Just eight minutes later, PCC struck again as Irving Rosales assisted on Brandon Flores' blast in the 55th minute.
Pasadena goalie Alex Radillo made five saves in recording the shutout. The player of the game for PCC, however, was defender Christian Vasquez, who made a number of clearouts around the Pasadena goalbox. Vasquez, a freshman from Jefferson High, stopped a sure ELAC goal with 12 minutes left in the game. A corner kick by the Huskies' Daniel Llanos was captured by Jimmy Espinal, who drove a blast that beat Radillo, but not Vasquez who headed the ball out of danger standing at the goalline.
The Lancers outshot East LA, 12-6, and closed off the Huskies' offensive attack. Other PCC players who contributed on defense were defenders Elio Anguiano, Michael Alcaraz, and Yeyson Caballeros.
"We seem to be playing with some energy and our defense has clamped down," said PCC head coach Edgar Manvelyan. "It's a bit disappointing that we could only gain a few ties, but we're playing signficantly better on our own side of the field. We're not giving up breakaways or easy scoring chances. Our offense connected twice on set plays."
On October 19 at El Camino College, Eric Chavez scored in the third minute, but the Warriors tied PCC, 1-1, thanks to a goal by Jess Chamberlain in the 15th minute. Pasadena goalie Marino Bianchi made six saves and stood strong as ECC took 20 shots on the Lancers' net.
PCC plays at Long Beach City College on Friday, October 26 in a 4 p.m. match.

So I dream of this place often, it's a mountain side like village, with green grass and farm land everywhere. It's country-like but it's near crystal clear waters and a summer sun that reminds you of the beach. Everything is on the side of a gradual mountain, but the higher you go, the steeper it gets (naturally).
Anyway, there is a section that becomes a thick forest and the mountain becomes even steeper with little vegetation, made mostly of dirt and rock. there is a waterfall and a pitiful stream running down it. besides this "water fall" is a plateau, hardly one that is, and a mansion is built on it... right into the mountain to be honest. Also, underneath, or behind, the water is a cave. The cave has a network of tunnels that run into the mansion and a garden that happens to be beside the mansion.
anyway, my dream was scary because i was running through the place avoid fucking zombies with just a popsicle stick. i wake up, freaking out and then i have another dream where robots were brutally killing people and i was trying to escape. i could feel the helplessness. wake up from that too and then sleep again.
this time this dream got crazy! i was traveling through space observing creatures/aliens that existed in other galaxies. i remember an insect like creatures that would attack stars. they are the only ones that can absorb the stars energy without burning. they would cling together in clunks and kill the star. then they would vibrate and create enough energy to make one of them explode and become another star....
then i traveled to see a different animal, that resembled a bush baby and a mix of the new mewtwo forme. something was explaining to me what it was and what it did. and for some reason, i was freaking out how that animal doesn't even know what a cat was or the sound a cat makes... i began to meow in my dream (probably in real life too).
then i wake up
crazy dream where i was attacked by zombies and robots then another dream traveling space and observing creatures

ZF-4246: Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract adds ZEND_DB_ROWNUM to data on _refresh()
Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract->_refresh() adds ZEND_DB_ROWNUM to the $this->_data and $this->_cleanData arrays.
I am saving a row to the database as part of a transaction (which succeeds and adds ZEND_DB_ROWNUM to the fields). If the subsequent $dbAdapter()->commit() fails, I want to save the row so that I can retrieve the values in the next request cycle.
When you try and reconnect the row to the database using $row->setTable(), or $row->setFromArray() you get an error because ZEND_DB_ROWNUM isn't in the list of columns for the table.
Either Zend_Db_Table_Abstract() should remove the ZEND_DB_ROWNUM from the _data and _cleanData arrays, or Zend_Db_Table->fetchRow() should.
Could be fixed in conjunction of ZF-2243
testStatementFetchColumnEmptyResult in Zend_Db_Statement_OracleTest fails because of this issue
Fixed in SVN13759 for Oracle and Pdo_Oci Additional tests must follow to close this issue
Current tests cover the functionality for Oracle's adapter

Tyvek generally comes in 4' and 5' wide sheets. To make a suitable tarp, footprint, groundcloth, etc. I will need to sew together a couple of sheets. How do I seam seal the Tyvek to prevent leaking at the joint? (Assuming I have determined what kind of Tyvek to buy)

Builders typically get Tyvek in 9' rolls instead of 4' and 5' sheets. You may be able to buy a small piece off of the roll from your local building supply store or find some waste at a local construction site so that you don't have any seams to join.
If you do need to join two sheets of Tyvek, Tyvek Tape is specifically designed for sealing the joints when applied to a house. It's waterproof and adheres well. It's also quite strong, but similar to packing tape, once punctured it can tear easily.

Hi guys,
I am developing a forklift robot application and need some ideas concerning the robot picking loads whiles there are no loads.
Lets assume you have commanded the robot to pick some pallets(loads) on a shelf but there are no pallets(loads) at that moment on the shelf.
How can you detect that the robot is not picking the pallets(loads)? though it is acting like it is moving loads whiles there are no loads at the moment on the shelf.

Head Coach Mark Wetmore
On the rarity of two athletes from the same collegiate team making the Olympics
"I've never seen it before; it's pretty rare for a single collegiate to make it from a team.� In 2008, there were maybe five collegiates on the 2008 Beijing team. �I've never seen two from the same event."�
On how this was possible
"A confluence of luck, talent, and environment. Two people, I won't say equally talented because talent packages can vary greatly but in the end, it adds up to Olympic level talent. When you have that talent at the same school and the same time; it's pretty rare and of course, Boulder and CU are excellent for a person to become a distance runner.� A lot of things came together for that to happen.� But since it's that rare, it doesn't happen that often.� It's a rare, rare combination."
On the differences between Shalaya Kipp and Emma Coburn as athletes
"Despite the fact that they are both Olympians, and at the trials they ran within three seconds of each other, every athlete is a unique talent package and each has to be developed uniquely.� Emma has her strengths in the event which are different from Shalaya's.� While they do have some similar workouts, they will also have some different workouts� More importantly, different focuses in the workout.� I've been quoted as comparing them to different generations of Formula One racing cars.� In the early 90's, Formula One cars had 12 cylinders and at least 1,000 horsepower engines.� Safety regulations and cost-cutting regulations have dialed that back to V8s and 750 horsepower, but the cars are just as fast with aerodynamic changes.� So, Emma's impeccable technically and Shalaya has a 1,200 HP engine. There's a difference, they come in different talent packages and they need different workouts.� While we're working on Shalaya's aerodynamics, we're working on Emma's horsepower."
On the longevity of the track season
"We scaled back the indoor season for Shalaya, she only raced two indoors events...but you're right it's a long haul from the beginning of cross country racing to the Olympics, which is 11 months.� What a lot of people don't get is that distance runners in the NCAA may begin racing in early September and continue mid June and in some cases go beyond.� Managing the momentum of it and the excitement of it is what (Associate Head Coach) Heather (Burroughs) gets paid a lot of money to do."
Associate Head Coach Heather Burroughs
On the steeplechase event
"Well the steeplechase is rarely run in high school.� No one sponsors it.� We rarely get to see steeplechase talent in high school. We look for certain qualities or aspects of their personality that might make them steeple runners.� Jenny was the first CU athlete to gain eligibility to an international team so she's been an important part of building our steeplechase tradition. But we had several other contenders such as Steve Slattery and Billy Nelson in the past.� We had several individuals over the last 10 years that have done well for us. Many [prospective recruits] have very little familiarity with it.� When we're talking to them about our current success in steeplechase and some are very intrigued but some are very terrified of it and have no interest in it. A lot happens freshmen year to see if it can be a match for them."
On expectations for Shalaya Kipp
"Shalaya ran a 9:35 in the final Olympic trials to make the team.� I think it took about a 9:40 to make the team at the World Championships last year.� An Olympic year brings new motivation and aspirations. On a world level, women are running faster this year.� It's going to take 10 seconds faster to make the final.� Our goal for Shalaya will be to run a personal best and to make the final.� That would be an enormous achievement for her.� On paper right now, she wouldn't make the finals.� The goal is to maybe upset those rankings and have her come close or make it."
On Kipp's first Olympics
"Yeah I'd say historically most people have a difficult time in their first World Championships and Olympics.� It's a whole new level of stress, attention.� Often there are 12 or 15 hour time differences.� So across collegians, it's difficult to run your best at that meet.� Shalaya would have had a long season of racing that most of competitors wouldn't have had but we're careful to make sure [she doesn't get burned out]."
Shalaya Kipp
On her experience with steeplechase
"When I came to Colorado I didn't know what the steeplechase was. �I still thought it was a horse event.� But through Jenny [Simpson], I kinda learned what the steeplechase was. I watched Emma do it and then Coach Wetmore approached me about doing it and I tried it out and it turned out to be a pretty good fit.� It's different than any other race but it's been really fun."
On having Emma Coburn as a teammate
"[Having Emma as a teammate] probably helps me the most.� I get to learn so much from Emma; she has the international experience and she tells me the little things I need to know.� In practice, I get to follow her off water jumps, she has beautiful form.� I really benefit from having Emma as a teammate. "
On talk of CU as a steeplechase dynasty
"You start to hear reference CU as a steeplechase dynasty.� Maybe because our coaches are so involved with the steeplechase, maybe CU's just been lucky I'm not really sure."
On how she got to where she was today
"There were definitely steps I needed to take to get to this level. Just starting basically from winning my first Pac-12 championship in steeplechase to the NCAA championships; all those races were necessary and now I'm hoping I can get another win and be ready in August."
On qualifying for the Olympics
"I'd say going into the trials, I tried to think that these weren't the only trials.� I just wanted to race people and beat people.� Once you cross the finish line and realize whatever thing was going to happen; I was pretty excited. Especially with CU's history I know a lot of the success here can be given to the coaches.� I know if I went to any other program or school, I would not be trained to go compete on the Olympic team."
Emma Coburn
On her experience with steeplechase
"[Shalaya Kipp and I] are a little different.� I had done it a handful of times in high school so I knew it was the only event that I had done well at a national level in high school.� I thought I would do the steeplechase [at CU] but I think Shalaya had a much different story."
On making the Olympics
"Well I've never been to Las Vegas, but I keep telling people that it feels like I went to Vegas for the weekend in a daze and then I woke up. It's been a blur so far, I think what people forget is that we have a lot of work ahead of us. We still have races to do and we still have training, it's not a big celebratory time in our lives.� We're both really happy and appreciative of the fact that we made it, but it's still business for us."
On being able to take a break
"I think I was just ready to have an emotional break. I got to go home for two days; it was great; I love Crested Butte.� If anyone has been there during the summer, it's the most beautiful place I've ever been to. I got to do a long run up there; I was kind of hurting up there at about 9,000 feet. But I kind of put my head up and looked around and I couldn't complain since it was just beautiful.� It was just a nice way to hit the refresh button and get ready to focus towards the summer racing ahead and just start back over."
On having Shalaya Kipp as a teammate
"I would probably say the opposite.� I probably benefit more.� Even though I have more steeplechase and international experience from last summer, Shalaya is a very talented, strong runner. �In practice, six other days of the week when we're not doing steeple workouts, she's ahead of me or we're shoulder to shoulder.� We push each other pretty well and we get along really well to it's nice to have a friend and teammate when you're on a 15 mile run when you're in pain.� Even in steeplechase stuff, she's like a yard behind me so I can't let up, so that helps me also."
On the differences between her and Kipp's qualifying experiences
"I think we had different experiences, I went in knowing that if I didn't make the team, it would've been a major failure for me personally.� So I went into the trials like it was a business trip and I had a job to do. I got it done and there were very little emotions involved leading up to the race.� That was what was supposed to happen on paper and that's what I had been working for.� It wasn't util 30 minutes later; I don't even know what sparked me off. I just broke down and couldn't stop sobbing.� Shalaya saw me and thought someone told me someone had just died.� I think [Coach Wetmore] had just asked how I was feeling. That's how emotional I was and although I think I had a business trip in mind, I had a lot of emotions of being an Olympian get in my head and it got there and it sunk it.� I had an emotional minute there but after that it was okay."
On the excitement of the Olympics
"It's going to be an experience to get to be a part of the Opening Ceremonies.� But what I've heard from past Olympians, it's six hours of standing and you don't get water.� It's not torture, but kind of.� Obviously we are both excited for the racing of it. It's an honor to be an Olympian and it's something we're both proud to have on our resumes and in the coming years but we're mainly just excited to race and trying our best to ignore everything else.� That's going to be our toughest job I think."
On her coaches' expectations for the Olympics
"We haven't talked much about it.� It might be a better question for my coaches.� I ran within a second of my PR to get to the final.� If I can run within a second of my PR �I can make the final. ��The primary goal is to make the final. A personal best would be nice.� Just race my guts out and see what happens.� If you look at the descending order list of medalists, a medal would be way too far in the distance for that to be a goal of ours.� Finishing better than my 12th place finish last year would be a success for me."
On possibly winning a medal
"No, I'm trying to stay focused on what I know what I can achieve.� If either of us were to dream beyond what is attainable, it wouldn't work out, I think we would both fail.� I think that would be the best way to go into it."
On there being potentially less pressure
"I mean, I enjoyed the trials.� I have never had a breakdown from being a favorite.� That doesn't bother me.� Any time I've raced in an international field it's been nice to sit behind some people and race hard and see what happens.� I'm looking forward to that.� Yeah, the pressure of being looked at and being a favorite doesn't bother me."
On whether she sought out advice from former CU Olympians
"Our coach Billy Nelson was also in the Olympics, we see him every day, we train with him.� He's probably our go-to for advice.� I think that will be our source for most of our information. I'm sure we will see Jenny there; she's also supportive of us. I'm sure she'll have some tips to handle it.� I think Billy Nelson will have it under control."

Raising money by selling equity to investors is a rare activity for companies, says CommonAngels' James Geshwiler. Not many CEOs get much practice or guidance on how to do this key task. This document is a sample template for entrepreneurs to use in pitching their companies to angel investors, and covers six main areas of risk and ability to generate return for investors.
This comprehensive guide to federal research and development grants is designed for entrepreneurs, and includes information about the SBIR/STTR programs as well as general grant proposal information. This guide is made available for public use with support from the Kauffman Foundation.

This resource provides a detailed overview of option pool management from the entrepreneur's perspective.
This sample term sheet for a Series A round of financing details the major points of a hypothetical investment deal for a first-round ?Series A Convertible Preferred Stock? financing.
This article provides detailed explanations of terms proposed in investor term sheets and the effects of these terms on the entrepreneur.
During a round of investment in seed- (start-up) and early stage companies, angel investors typically invest from $25,000 to $100,000 each. The round usually totals between $250,000 and $1 million, and the company valuations run from $1 million to $3 million. Collectively, the angels purchase from 20 to 40 percent of a company's equity and seek a return of 20-30x over five years.
Since the Internet bubble burst, the pre-money valuations of seed-stage companies by venture capitalists have averaged between $1 million and $3 million. Angel investors tend to participate at earlier investment stages than VCs, so pre-money valuations for angel deals nearly always fall into this admittedly wide range. What factors within this range impact the valuation of a specific company?
The accompanying Valuation Worksheet provides entrepreneurs and investors with an empirical basis for deciding if a start-up company should be valued near the top or bottom of the range. It's not designed to be used for definitive valuation calculations.
The Valuation Worksheet lists major factors and key issues to consider in judging the value of a seed (start-up) company. Note the following features:
Entrepreneurs can use the worksheet to gain insights into what investors are looking for in a fundable seed-stage company and to identify factors that justify higher pre-money valuations. The worksheet is also a roadmap on how entrepreneurs can improve the fundability of their enterprises and increase the pre-money valuation.

Neither my ex (let's call him X) nor I had really wanted a divorce. What we'd wanted was a baby. I believe we shared a frustrating sense that during our few years together we had not had a fair chance—almost as if we were teenagers whose love had been muddied by the adults. In fact, we were old enough to be the parents of teenagers (X was the father of three terrific adolescent boys), but we had conducted our relationship with the kind of abandon you'd never want your kids to indulge in: work tossed aside for three-hour phone calls in the middle of the day, urgent (overpriced) rendezvous travel, lots of anywhere-anytime lovemaking. We married five months after we met. The wedding happened four days after the proposal. It was a romantic binge, a spree.
What followed was equally intense, a marriage that accordioned time and distance. I left the Pacific Northwest, where I was a visiting professor, and moved to the Midwest city of X's university, where there was no work for me, so I flew in and out of New York City, where I did have work. When we weren't in airports, we were in medical offices, dealing with two pregnancies that ended in miscarriage, two surgeries and innumerable visits to doctors, who ranged from dismissive ("You're 39. You don't have many good eggs left") to disquieting ("There are tests we can do to see if you are allergic to your husband's sperm").
Infertility and geography, along with the tricky economics of maintaining and traveling between two households, were among the stressors that turned us into overbearing adults who muddied our own young love. Two weeks before our third anniversary was our court date. Though neither of us had contested the dissolution of our marriage, we felt battered, bruised and very tired. "Listen," X said as we exited the courtroom, "I'm following you home to make sure you're all right." It was a seven-hour drive to the city where a year earlier I'd begun a new job and bought a house. When I had to pull off the interstate to nap, X parked his car next to my rented van and read.
We got to my house late, so he slept on the couch. The next day, he helped me unpack the van. One day's help turned into a couple days' visit. After X got home, we indulged in long e-mails and phone calls and tried to ignore the irony that in the aftermath of our divorce, we were turning to each other for comfort. Unsure if we were being brave or rash, we decided it would be OK if he drove back up for a weekend visit.
Is anything lovelier than reconciliation? You both say such gentle things. You treat each other to sweet, small attentions. You offer favors, half your dessert. In fact, it was at dinner on the second day of X's visit that my fever and abdominal pains began. "Really," I said, sliding over my plate of pie, "you're welcome to the whole thing."
The pain got worse, wrapped across my middle and swung around to my back. The only doctor I knew in town was the fertility goddess I'd visited in my last-ditch efforts to conceive, and she was away at a conference. X took me to the ER, where my suspicion was confirmed: The fibroid tumor discovered during my pregnancies had grown and was now infected. I was admitted for major IV antibiotics. X canceled his classes and stayed with me until my doctor returned to schedule surgery. "Next Monday," she told me. "You can go home until then." Offhand, she added, "But you'll need to continue the antibiotics through the weekend."
"OK," I said. "If you'll call in the prescription, we can pick it up on the way home."
"Oh, no, you need IV meds."
I was confused. "A nurse comes to the house?"
"No nurse," Dr. Goddess scoffed. "You two can do it."
"No, we can't. We're writers." When I had the chance, I pulled her aside. "We just got divorced. We don't always get along. We're not medical people." For emphasis, I added, "He's a poet."

Never mind what you would do for a Klondike bar -- what would you do for a million dollars? A hundred bucks? The cash equivalent of a Big Burp and a bag o' chips? How low will you go, how high will you jump? Step into our Humiliation Booth, to grasp the gritty truth.
You're asked to go on a date with former president Bill "Philander" Clinton -- or with figure-skater-turned-boxer Tonya "Hitman" Harding. How much would you have to be paid for a close encounter?
You're not going, and that's your final answer.
A hundred bucks would do the trick.
Make out a check in the amount of $2 million, paid to the order of me, please.
More chilling than a date with Gary Condit ... two dates with Gary Condit! No, we'll only force you to go on one -- and what would you like in return? (Guys, pretend the date's with Gary's ''evil twin,'' Gladys.) And, yes, you have to go this time!
Police escort
A nice six-course dinner -- and the press alerted
A non-negotiable six-digit severance package
Remember the ''puffy shirt'' episode of Seinfeld? Sure you do. Jerry was forced to wear this really, well, puffy shirt on TV, because its designer was a ''low talker,'' and when she asked him to wear it, he didn't quite hear her, and hapless Jer was forced to go prime time looking ludicrously puffy. How much would we have to grease your palm to appear similarly stupid-looking on national TV?
It's your face that would have to be greased -- with so much makeup, no one would recognize you; and still you'd only go kicking and screaming.
A six-pack of your favorite brew and a bag o' burgers would fill your tummy and flush out feelings of funniness -- what the heck, you're a sport.
Nothing less than a bundle of Big Bens (the bills, not the clock).
Speaking of Seinfeld, hark back now to the famous ''stinky car'' episode, in which a parking attendant with world-class body odor leaves a lingering aroma in Jerry's car that permanently infects, and infests, all who enter henceforth. We've recreated the car here -- can we lure you in?
A scream is not an answer -- but we'll take it.
Depends on the make and model of the car, whether you can keep it, and what cash prizes (and fumigator) come with it.
Depends on whether the trunk comes stuffed with currency, and you can drive off with the whole kit and caboodle. There will be no downgrading this demand.
Can we coax you to bark like a dog in the town square, while we film?
No, you're chicken.
Sure, for the cash equivalent of 10 pounds of kibble.
Only for enough cash to be walking your own dog on the French Riviera -- where you will have the film banned -- for the rest of your life.
Speaking of chickens, howsabout doing The Funky Chicken nekkid in Macy's window at high noon?
We must have you confused with someone else.
A hundred bucks and enough free likker to get you in a wild 'n' crazy mood -- and why not?
A million bucks, minimum for this, and you'll also do The Hucklebuck.
As you pass by the No-Tell Motel at midnight, who should you walk smack-into, as he walks out? Your neighbor, Mr. Trimble, and a woman who -- egads -- is most certainly not Mrs. Trimble. Mr. T awkwardly attempts some pleasantries, then ''jokes'' you never saw him here, as he shakes your hand, pressing a $50 bill into your palm. You:
Tell him he dropped the bill, as you hand it back.
Pocket the $50 -- you may or may not have tattled to Mrs. T, but he's still getting off cheap, and you're up a few bucks: It's win-win.
Shoot him a you've-got-to-be-kidding look: Your silent complicity comes with a much higher price tag.
Carl the Conniver is in deep doo-doo, and desperately needs a favor: He wants you to temporarily swipe some papers off the boss's desk -- a low-risk piece of cake for you. How much cash incentive do you need to do Carl's bidding?
No amount is worth your professional reputation.
It's Carl's treat for surf 'n' turf for the rest of the week.
Nothing less than a year's severance pay -- which is how long it may take you to get another job, if you're caught and canned. The risk's exciting, but you need a big, fat cushion if you fall.
Maybe you like Barry Manilow (mphhhh!). But whether you're a Barry-lover or a Barry-basher is really irrelevant. What we want to know is how much we'd have to pony up for you to walk into the toughest, roughest biker bar in town and loudly demand the jukebox include Manilow tunes?
You'll pass. That's just rude to do in any type of public setting.
Enough to pay for a great set of dentures -- and free drinks for year -- at another bar, of course.
If you're gonna brawl, it's got to be for big bucks: The bidding for the Brouhaha in the Biker Bar starts at one mill.
We'd like you to see you walk around town all day with your significant other clad in an ''I'm with Stupid'' T-shirt, with the arrow pointing straight at you. What would you like?
To go on to the next question, please.
A hundred smackers sounds about right.
Nothing less than 10 grand -- not only is the T-shirt insulting, it may violate truth-in-advertising laws: You'll check with your lawyer first, but you may want to stipulate any possible legal bills you incur be covered, as well.
Granny, who's always made it cruelly clear you're her least favorite grandchild is nonetheless leaving you quite a chunk of change in her will, as you're her only grandchild. During a visit to your home, Granny suddenly looks woozy as she stands at the top of the stairs. You:
Rush to steady her, and lead her to safety.
Call out, ''Steady there, Granny.''
Figure her time may have come, Lord rest her soul.

THE PARTY A highly coveted admission into the grand opening party for Phipps Plaza's new Giuseppe Zanotti boutique, hosted by Rico Love, was not easy to come by. The lucky attendees who made it inside had a chance to rub elbows with Zanotti himself while trying on the A-list designer's latest styles. THE PLAYERS Alain Baume, Antony Goreau, Jeremy Goreau, Marlo Hampton, Rico Love, Ludacris, Giuseppe Zanotti THE HIGHLIGHTS Champagne flowed while guests tried on pair after pair of the Italian emporium's high-fashion boots and heels. Celebrities in the music and television industries popped in to the luxe space to mingle with the crowd and score a few pairs of their own.

Affiliated with
Cambridge, MA...Massachusetts Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. JudyAnn Bigby today joined local elected officials and leaders from the Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) at its Cambridge Hospital Campus to celebrate funding from the Obama Administration for Massachusetts safety net hospitals to advance integrated care and cost containment goals.
"I thank the Obama Administration and our congressional and state legislative partners for supporting this initiative that will help our safety net hospitals adopt cutting-edge methods to improve the quality of care and control costs," said Governor Deval Patrick. "Massachusetts is a national leader in health care access, and working together we can lead in cracking the code on health care costs."
Cambridge Health Alliance is eligible for a total of $67.3 million in federal funds available over three years through the Delivery Systems Transformation Initiative. It is one of seven Massachusetts safety net hospitals eligible to receive payments to improve care transformation.
The Obama Administration's approval of the Commonwealth's "master plan" for DSTI hospitals made available $628 million in joint state and federal funding to provide incentive payments for safety net hospitals over three years. This funding allows the hospitals to invest in integrated care, electronic safety and quality innovations and infrastructure to support alternative payment models.
"Cambridge Health Alliance provides care for many of the Cambridge, Somerville and MetroNorth communities' most vulnerable residents and I am proud of this partnership to promote cutting- edge advancements here and at our other safety net hospitals," said Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. JudyAnn Bigby. "Care transformation programs like these will have a lasting impact on patients' health and are making integrated care a reality in all arenas of patients' lives."
Secretary Bigby was joined by Senator Sal DiDomenico, Representative Alice Wolf, Representative Tim Toomey, Cambridge Mayor Henrietta Davis, Cambridge City Manager Bob Healy,
staff representing Senator Patricia Jehlen and Representative Kathi-Anne Reinstein, and state Medicaid Director Dr. Julian Harris at the event.
Initiatives already underway at CHA include: Patient-Centered Medical Homes; Complex Care Management; Tobacco Cessation and Community Partnerships to Improve Population Health. These innovative care models are essential to the hospital's migration toward alternative or global payment models.
"Cambridge Health Alliance is committed to our continued health care transformation that improves care for our patients and communities," said CEO Patrick Wardell. "We are grateful for the leadership of Governor Patrick, Secretary Bigby and congressional and state legislators for securing this important funding opportunity that is so essential to promising innovations and early results we are seeing toward better care and better health."
Cambridge Health Alliance is also embarking on a collaborative initiative to improve Population Health of the Community through evidence-based tobacco use identification and cessation efforts.
The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) first authorized the DSTI program in December 2011 as part of Massachusetts' Medicaid Demonstration project. The Commonwealth's master plan serves as a roadmap for participating safety net hospitals to design their individual 3-year transformation plans.
Safety net hospitals are undertaking transformation projects in four areas:
* Development of a fully integrated delivery system, such as converting primary care practices into Patient Centered Medical Homes, integrating physical and behavioral health care, and developing integrated networks of providers linked by electronic health records.
* Implementation of innovative care models to improve quality of care and health outcomes, such as building electronic chronic disease registries, implementing new care management programs for patients with complex conditions, and better coordinating care when patients leave the hospital to prevent readmissions.
* Development of capabilities necessary to implement alternative payment models, such as building the infrastructure to become an Accountable Care Organization (ACO), piloting alternative payment models for low-income patients, and enhancing systems to monitor providers' performance on health care quality and costs.
* Population-focused health outcome improvements, projects aimed at collecting and reporting key measures that will allow the Commonwealth to track and assess the impact of the transformation initiatives on patients' health and system costs over time.
Massachusetts leads the nation in health care coverage for its residents. Thanks to the Patrick-Murray Administration's successful implementation of the 2006 landmark health care reform law, more than 98 percent of Massachusetts residents have health care coverage, including 99.8 percent of children — something no other state in America has achieved. In August, Governor Patrick launched the next phase of health care reform, signing legislation that builds on the Commonwealth's nation-leading access to care through landmark measures that will lower costs and make quality, affordable care a reality for all Massachusetts residents.
Cambridge Health Alliance is an integrated, award-winning health system that provides high quality care in Cambridge, Somerville, and Boston's metro-north communities. It includes three hospital campuses, a network of primary care and specialty practices, and the Cambridge Public Health Dept. CHA is a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate and is also affiliated with Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, and Tufts University School of Medicine.

ZF-5889: getFileSize and getFileMimeType non-existant?
Based on the documentation: {quote} $upload = new Zend_File_Transfer(); $upload->receive();
// Returns the sizes from all files as array if more than one file was uploaded $size = $upload->getFileSize(); {quote}
Firstly, using 'Zend_File_Transfer(); causes an exception: Zend_File_Transfer_Exception: Implementation in progress ... Transfer.php, So if you use: {quote} $upload = new Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http(); $upload->receive();
// Returns the sizes from all files as array if more than one file was uploaded $size = $upload->getFileSize(); {quote}
It throws the error:
bq.Call to undefined method Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http::getFileSize()
And likewise: {quote} $upload = new Zend_File_Transfer(); $upload->receive();
$mime = $upload->getMimeType(); {quote} It throws the error: {quote} Call to undefined method Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http::getFileMimeType() {quote}
Based on the documentation you are referring to:
{quote} Limitation The current implementation of Zend_File_Transfer is limited to HTTP Post Uploads. Other adapters supporting downloads and other protocols will be added in future releases. Unimplemented methods will throw an exception. For now, you should use Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http directly. As soon as there are multiple adapters available you can use a common interface. {quote}
And also the example in the manual reads:
{quote} $adapter = new Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http();$adapter->setDestination('C:\temp');if (!$adapter->receive()) { $messages = $adapter->getMessages(); echo implode("\n", $messages);} {quote}
Hi thomas,
christian clearly stated a still existing error, the documentated methods getFileSize and getMimeType do NOT exists.
Please look into it.
Thanks, Littlex :)
The methods getFileSize and getMimeType, as stated in the documentation, do not exist.
They exist within Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract since r13822 and r13935.
As we are not allowed to add new functionality within a mini-release they will be released with the next minor release as all new functionalities.
So the only real failure I see it a false assignment of the fix release.
As side note: The problem of the manual itself is part of a new proposal which I am working on with Mickael.
But this has nothing to do with this issue.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Lawns, Ground Cover, & Wildflowers
Entry Garden Make-Over (page 2 of 2)
by Jane von Trapp
As you get started, be mindful of your soil conditions, the direction your house faces, and patterns of water drainage. Make a scale drawing of your space and how you'd like to divide it. Before sketching any plants in the drawing, consider their mature size. This way, you won't be tempted to choose plants that will be too large or too small for the space available. Then select an appropriate mixture of plants. Consult nurseries and cooperative extension offices, as well as local planting guides.
If available, choose named varieties of plants over species; they are often superior in appearance and performance to unnamed forms of the same plant. Also look for compact or dwarf varieties. Even the most diminutive plant in its nursery container can become a maintenance headache if it is naturally too big for its space. Generally, with the exception of trees, look for plants that grow no higher than your windows.
If you are planting under eaves, remember that plants there will receive much less rainwater and possibly light, depending on the depth of the overhang, than plants exposed to the sky. Supplemental irrigation may be needed.
Jane von Trapp is an author and landscape designer based in New York City.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jennyquart Not as vibrant as we'd hoped, but still very nice. Initially when this tapestry arrived I was going to send it back because it wasn't as vibrant as I'd hoped. Nothing compared to the picture online. But, my fiancé talked me into keeping it, and we hung it above our bed in our bedroom. It looks very nice against our sky blue walls that help to bring out the colors in the tapestry. September 1, 2014

Frequently asked questions
Credit Card information: Definition of APR, what is interest?
1. Q. What is the definition of APR?
- APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. APR is the cost of credit expressed as an annual percentage. To determine the monthly periodic rate, divide the APR by 12 months. To determine a daily periodic rate, divide the APR by 365 days. Check out our 0% intro APR credit cards.
- An interest charge is the sum of interest on your credit card account. The interest charge is broken down by transaction type: purchases, cash advances and balance transfers. If you pay less than the full balance, pay after the payment due date (or if your credit card does not have a interest free period) then you will pay interest on those purchases. Cash advances and balance transfers have no interest free period. This means they start accruing interest as soon as the transaction is made. This will result in interest due, even if your balance is paid in full.
- The credit limit, also known as credit line is simply the maximum amount of credit available to you for purchasing goods and services.
- The Periodic Rate is a rate of interest charge that may be imposed by a creditor on a balance for a day, week, month or any subdivision of a year.
- The Cash Credit Limit is the amount from your Total Credit Limit available for cash advances. Generally, Bank Cash Advances consist of ATM cash Advances, Over the Counter (OTC) Cash Advances, Same-Day Online Cash advances, Overdraft Protection Cash Advances, Cash Equivalents, and applicable transaction fees.
- It is the amount of credit on your credit card that is currently available for you to use for cash advance transactions.
- You can view your Cash Credit Line on your statement, online on your credit card's account details page or by calling customer service.
- It states the terms and conditions of a credit card account and represents a binding agreement between you and Chase. The Credit Cardmember Agreement also presents the annual percentage rate, the monthly minimum payment formula, annual fees and dispute resolution processes.

Warm weather skiing at Snowbird. Photo by Chris Pearson.
There is, at this time of year, a rather unique opportunity to do two very different, very seasonal activities all in one day. Those being skiing and golfing. Tee and ski, it's been called.
There are other opportunities to mix and blend activities, like cross country skiing, biking, hiking, walking, fly fishing, bowling and, while snow lasts, tubing. But skiing and golfing are the most recognized seasonal activities. Skiing and/or snowboarding is winter. Golfing is summer. These two are synonymous with the seasons.
Winter is for skiing. Summer is for golf. But spring offers a narrow window to slide, say in the morning, and swing a club in the afternoon. Mornings are cooler so snow is easier to slide on; afternoons are warmer so golf can be more comfortable.
With today's high-speed lifts, it's not difficult to make a reasonable number of runs in half a day.
Another opportunity of spring is a surface condition called "corn snow.''
It happens in the spring when temperatures begin to rise. After a week or two of freezing snow at night and thawing in the afternoon, snow turns into tiny granules of ice.
These can create a surface that offers a couple of inches of yielding snow over a solid base. Some say it's the next best thing to powder snow. On good corn, skis and boards experience near perfect consistency, turn after turn after turn.
Some resorts also offer half-day ski passes, which helps with the budget.
Around noon or so it's time to change from boots to cleats, parkas for golf shirts and ski poles for golf clubs.
First, of course, comes a good lunch. And, with daylight savings, there's time enough for a sit-down snack and a brew, be it lemonade or beer.
One of the more convenient courses is located near the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon—The Old Mill. The pro there, in fact, says it's not uncommon to see afternoon golfers with raccoon lines around the eyes. Of course, there's time enough to tee up at dozens of area courses.
While reservations are not required at ski areas, it's probably a good idea to make a tee time at one of the valley golf courses. They can be pretty busy in the spring when golfers are anxious to get back in the game.
Again, with daylight savings, tee times can be somewhat flexible. Figure four hours for 18 and two for 9. So, with sunset around 7:30 p.m., any tee time around 2 p.m. is time enough for a round.
Opportunities, however, may be somewhat limited depending on snow conditions. If snow fails to fall in the next few weeks, resorts will begin to close in early April. Even with snow most will likely begin closing around mid-April. Snowbird tries to remain open on a limited basis until Memorial Day. In snowier years the resort has run its lifts on July 4.
And as much fun as a tee and ski day can be, it's nice, too, to be able to say, "I've done it.''
Skiing—Ski Utah at skiutah.com offers details on Utah's 14 resorts' closing dates and lift prices.
Golf—Utah Golf Association at uga.org offers a list of Utah's courses and phone numbers.

When votes are counted for an election, there are instances in which individual ballots do not contain valid votes. This can happen for two reasons: overvoting and undervoting. When overvotes and undervotes occur, it can mean that your votes are canceled or you do not cast as many votes as you are permitted to.Overvotes
An overvote happens when you vote for more candidates than the number of candidates you are permitted to vote for in a particular office race.
