Dear Sun Devil Fans,
As an important member of the Sun Devil Family, I wanted to reach out following the recent announcement that Steve Patterson has accepted the athletics director position at the University of Texas. I want to assure you his departure will not impede the tremendous progress Sun Devil Athletics has made in recent years, nor will it deter my commitment to supporting our athletics department to the highest level. Sun Devil Athletics will continue to pursue their core principles of Championship Performance, Graduation and Integrity while honoring their many great traditions.
As we conduct a national search for our next athletics director, Senior Vice President Dr. James Rund will serve as interim athletics director. Dr. Rund is no stranger to Sun Devil Athletics. A Sun Devil himself, Jim is a member of the Sun Devil Club Board of Directors and in recent years has been an integral part of the team responsible for the recent surge in student attendance at athletics events.
I hope you all will join me in thanking Steve Patterson for his efforts in putting Sun Devil Athletics in a position for continued success. Our overall mission and focus remain unchanged and the athletics department is committed to seeing the great work Steve began, including the move to Phoenix Municipal Stadium and the renovation of Sun Devil Stadium, through to completion.
Thank you in advance for your continued support.
Go Sun Devils!
Michael Crow

Classic White Kitchen with a Few Twists
At first glance, this looks like another white kitchen. Though white is classic and timeless, it can tend toward a little boring, especially considering how many white kitchens (with marble tops and white subway tile) we're seeing these days. There are a few things here that make you want to give this particular white kitchen a double-take:
1. Bold brass pendants. These are the first thing you see when you walk in the door, and their large size makes them stand out even more. Notice how the finish contrasts with the stainless steel and polished nickel used everywhere else. But guess what? That's okay! Mixing metals is actually a big trend right now, and it works here because it adds interest—the pendants stand out rather than blending in.
2. Custom Range Hood. Extra detail went into designing a hood that added a little more of an industrial flair, without overkill.
3. Stylish faucet. This pull-down faucet from Waterstone is a piece of art in itself!
4. Painted Ceiling. We went a shade darker on the ceiling - an escape from the usual white.
5. Sitting Area in Kitchen. This is a trend that's been slowly developing. The kitchen has often been called the "heart of the home", so why not embrace this concept and add a comfortable sitting area in this space? We reconfigured the kitchen layout, making it more functional, while at the same time eliminating the old dining table by creating a dining space as an extension of the island. This allowed extra room to add a sitting area by the fireplace (and a window seat).

ZF-9428: Empty MemCached throws on getFillingPercentage
Due to the logic
if (!$memSize || !$memUsed) {
Zend_Cache::throwException('Can\'t get filling percentage');
The following code will throw an error rather then return 0
echo $memCache->getFillingPercentage();
I can confirm this issue. In our Zend Framework application using Backend, when the cache is cold we get really nasty can't get filling percentage errors. This only occurs when the cache is completely empty, when something is added it starts running normally again.
In regards to my comment, here is some information:

|Sanz honored by WAC
DENVER - For the fourth time this season, an Idaho women's tennis player was honored as the Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week, as Almudena Sanz earned the nod for the second time.
Sanz, a sophomore from Oviedo, Spain, put together a perfect week of tennis, going 3-0 at No. 2 singles and 3-0 at No. 1 doubles. Her wins helped the Vandals earn the doubles point in all three matches as they secured a pair of conference victories. Sanz won all three of her singles matches in straight sets. She was the only Vandal player to win a singles match at San Francisco, finishing with an impressive 6-4, 6-1, win over Marina Nikolic. Against San Jose State, Sanz cruised to a 6-0 second set win over Chau Truong. She has now won her last eight times on the court, including four straight singles wins and four straight doubles wins.
"Almu had an excellent week," Idaho coach Dan Pollock said. "Her and Vicky are starting to click more and more as a doubles team and her singles play is continually improving. She is learning to maintain her concentration for longer periods of time in matches and maintain her intensity on the court even when she is not playing great. If she can continue to work on her weaker areas she will produce better and better results throughout her career as a Vandal."
Sanz also earned the honor on Feb. 21, and senior Molly Knox and sophomore Victoria Lozano followed the next two weeks. Idaho went 2-1 in the week with WAC wins over San Jose State and Louisiana Tech. The Vandals wrapped up the regular season with an 18-7 overall record and a 3-1 mark in WAC play. Idaho will take on Utah State in the first round of the WAC tournament on Thursday.

Boil-water order for parts of downtown still in effect
Published: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 9:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 18, 2013 at 9:36 a.m.
A precautionary boil-water order for a seven-block radius near downtown Wilmington will remain in effect until at least Thursday night after an aging water main burst Wednesday afternoon, a Cape Fear Public Utility Authority official said.
The break happened just before 10 p.m. Wednesday and effected residents on 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th streets in the 1300-1500 blocks between Dock and Nun streets.
CFPUA spokeswoman Jacqueline Valade said water pressure was restored at 2:30 a.m. and crews conducted clean-up operations until approximately 4 a.m.
"The precautionary boil water advisory remains in effect until test results come back (usually within 24 hours)," Valade said. "Once the all clear is given, a rescind notice will be issued and customers will be notified. This will most likely occur later this afternoon or tomorrow morning."

My latest obsession is finding the perfect modern bouncer for my little bun in the oven.
Charlie was a big fan of his bouncy seat 18 months ago, but I find myself once again obsessing over all of the cool, modern designs. I of course want a seat that my baby will enjoy using, but I also want something that isn't a huge eyesore and will blend in with my current decor. I'm still narrowing down the list, but here are a few of my favorites so far.
The Svan Bouncer has always been a favorite of mine. It features a sleek modern design and comes in a variety of cool colors. For more info check out our P&N review of it here.
This sweet bouncer from the Zen Collection by Fisher Price is inspired by nature and features earthy colors and beautiful wood accents. It's got all the bells and whistles of their other bouncers, such as a variety of music, incline positions, and vibration speeds.

How is it that we can process the same information in different ways at different times? Humans have a remarkable ability to process inputs from the environment flexibly. Our lab is interested in understanding what brain mechanisms underlie this ability. Evidence suggests that the brain's state before a stimulus is presented may impact the way the stimulus is processed at the time and remembered in the future. We use a variety of tools to better understand this effect. We study human behavior and brain activity using precise behavioral measurements (including psychophysics and tracking of eye movements), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG).

Press Release 12-216 "Dark Energy": Life Beneath the Seafloor Discussed at Upcoming American Geophysical Union Conference
Scientists present recent findings on the subsurface biosphere
Scientists have found that rocks beneath the seafloor are teeming with microbial life.
Credit and Larger Version
November 19, 2012
"Who in his wildest dreams could have imagined that, beneath the crust of our Earth, there could exist a real ocean...a sea that has given shelter to species unknown?"
So wrote Jules Verne almost 150 years ago in A Journey to the Center of the Earth. Verne probably couldn't have imagined the diversity of life that researchers observe today under the ocean floor.
Scientists affiliated with the National Science Foundation (NSF) Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations (C-DEBI) will discuss recent progress in understanding life beneath the seafloor at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) fall meeting, held in San Francisco from Dec. 3-7, 2012.
Once considered a barren plain dotted with hydrothermal vents, the seafloor and the crust beneath it are humming with microbial life--with "dark energy," says Katrina Edwards of the University of Southern California, director of C-DEBI.
Seafloor and subseafloor bacteria not only exist, they're more abundant and diverse than previously thought. The bacteria "feed" on the planet's oceanic crust, posing questions about ocean chemistry and the co-evolution of Earth and life.
"We now know that this remote region is teeming with microbes, more so than anyone guessed," says David Garrison, program director in NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences, which funds C-DEBI.
While scientists have estimated that microbes living in deep ocean sediments may represent as much as one-third of Earth's total biomass, the habitable part of the ocean crust may be ten times as great.
Dark environments appeared to offer little energy for sustaining life. But the abundance of microbes in the subseafloor causes scientists to wonder how long life may have thrived there.
Researchers are working to answer such questions as:
What is the nature of subseafloor microbial communities, and what is their role in the alteration of young ocean crust?
Are these communities unique, especially in comparison with seafloor and sedimentary communities?
Where do microbes in the ocean crust come from--sediment, rock, seawater or another source?
C-DEBI-related sessions at AGU include:
InterRidge Session: The Deep Subseafloor Biosphere
Understanding the subseafloor biosphere and its relationship to energy and material fluxes transported by fluid flow has the potential to answer questions about the evolution of life on Earth. This session provides an opportunity to hear results and ideas from various scientific disciplines.
The Deep Biosphere: Recent Progress in Understanding Life in the Deep Subsurface
This interdisciplinary session brings together researchers studying the size, distribution, activity and consequence of a microbial deep biosphere in the Earth's subsurface. Scientists involved in recent ocean drilling program expeditions and other deep biosphere programs will take part.
InterRidge Session: Fast Moving Research at Slow Spreading Ridges
The range of processes that occurs at slow and ultra-slow spreading ridges has stimulated several multi-national research programs. The findings are relevant for understanding tectonic plate accretion, marine minerals, and chemosynthetic life. With an emphasis on previously overlooked ridge systems in the Northern Hemisphere (Arctic Ridges, Red Sea, Mid-Cayman Rise), and on new findings in the Southern Hemisphere, this session highlights recent results in the geophysical, geological, ocean and life sciences.

Miami University of Ohio's Dr. Ricardo Averbach believes that even seemingly disparate musical styles can come together in powerful ways. As the conductor of the University Symphony Orchestra, Oxford Chamber Orchestra, and annual opera production, Dr. Averbach also collaborates regularly with Miami's world music ensemble director. Fusing classical music and world music poses its own challenges, but musicians are often even more reticent to mix classical and rock and roll, despite a long tradition of marrying the two. One need only listen to any Phil Spector, Gamble and Huff or Arif Mardin–produced songs for examples. In fact, the Rock Hall's education department currently offers a class called "Ambassador to the Orchestra: The Arranger in Rock and Roll," where students listen to and examine the music of Maxwell, Dusty Springfield, Metallica and the Beatles to explore the intersection of classical and rock and roll. The Rock Hall had partnered with classical music organizations before, including Red {an orchestra}, Contemporary Youth Orchestra and Cleveland Orchestra, so when Dr. Averbach and CODA's President Dr. Anthony Holland of Skidmore College approached us with the idea of a collaboration, we were excited about the opportunity.
This month, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's education department co-hosted its quarterly teacher professional development workshop, Teachers Rock, with the College Orchestra Director's Association (CODA).
Naturally, Rock Hall staff and CODA directors thought that it would be a good opportunity to highlight the connections between rock and roll and other genres, with performances and creative arrangements of familiar popular music songs. More than 90 teaching professionals – orchestra directors and teachers from around the country – attended "Teachers Rock: Rock the Classical," listened to the education department's abbreviated course before several ensembles from Miami University and Northern Kentucky University took the stage, playing classical arrangements of songs by the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel and Nat "King" Cole as well as an original piece inspired by Elvis Presley, which involved a bassoonist dressed as the King himself. Brahms lovers and Rolling Stones rockers equally participated in the event, proving that their respective musical worlds are not so far apart.
In this clip, Miami University of Ohio's Dr. Ricardo Averbach and Miami University's Oxford Chamber Orchestra performs the Beatles' "Penny Lane," in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Foster Theater.

When Anne Teresa De Keersmaekr and Boris Charmatz, choreographer and French dancer, found themselves together in the main courtyard at the Avignon Festival the idea came to them of working together. After more than two years of research in the studio, they are dancing a duet in which, as always in Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's work, the music plays a determining role. At the heart of their performance is Johann Sebastian Bach's partita no.2 for solo violin which, in the words of Charmatz "forms a living architecture to which the dances sometimes aspire, yet knowing that they can never equal the original design".
In A Choreographer's Score you tell how the music of Bach was present during the rehearsals for Violin Phase, your first work. By choosing to use the partita no.2 do you have the feeling that you have come full circle?
Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker: At the time I was starting from zero: it involved me learning, in a very concrete way, to create a dance. Working with the music of Steve Reich was a form of self-apprenticeship. I loved the structure of that music- it's repetitive, yet at the same time, has an incarnate structure that is both mathematical and sensitive, and we find the same qualities in Bach. I spent a lot of time in the studio on that piece, trying again and again to find the movements, to harmonise them, to find a structure. Bach was, indeed, present amongst the music that kept me going. It was a help. At one point I had to cut and I decided to make a 15 minute dance on Violin Phase. Gradually a certain number of ideas became clear: repetition, accumulation, combinations, and ways of putting the movements together. Then, how to organise all that in the space? There I had to ask myself what was the continuous part that allowed the repetition to move forward. The circle was the form which allowed me to establish this continuity. All that arrived in stages, by advancing and retreating. I created that first solo in 1982, that's thirty years ago now!
Boris Charmatz: Amongst the things you said to me at the beginning of this project was this question: "Where is my dance today?" I have the feeling that certain choreographies make us ask this question, like places that we always return to, not the whole gamut but a place in which to reinvest. Do you think that partita no.2 fulfils that role today?
ATDK: I created four pieces in which I danced myself; afterwards, for various reasons, I needed to step back and I worked more and more as a choreographer. And then, at a given moment, I started to dance again myself. But it has been a very long time since I undertook to work in the studio with this question "What is my dance, my way of dancing today?" And it is really with that question in mind that I want to work on this Partita. It leads me to dig deep into the movements that are installed in my body, but it also leads me to reposition myself. We should not lose sight of the fact that Bach's Partita dances, it moves a lot. Giga, corrente, allemanda: these are, basically, musical constructs that stem from folk dances.
These old layers are always present. What part does it play in your meeting and your desire to work together?
ATDK: The starting point was the Avignon Festival in 2011, where Boris was the Associate Artist. I don't exactly know how, but we ended up saying "let's dance together once, just to see". We began by improvising, in silence, I seem to remember.
BC: Yes, it was a kind of workshop which already included certain questions that we took up again later, like "my walking is my dancing".
ATDK: With Boris, there was a coming together. It is fairly unusual to find people who have a continuity of practice as a choreographer as well as a performer, and an articulate take on both –fed and linked endlessly by the question "what is my dance today?". It is a bit what happened with Jerome Bel when I did 3Abschied – but this was more a work of the mind than the body.
In this piece you give the impression that you are trying to make the beat spatial by drawing in space a kind of musical infra-notation. How have you 'sliced' this score?
BC: We worked hard to find the counterpoint, the broken line, by relying principally on the bass. We are trying to make an underlying structure emerge by adding layer upon layer. Overall, it is this bass that we are following plus certain other elements that seem significant to us: outstanding moments, which provoke the imagination – pushing you towards a leap, towards country dancing.
ATDK: What interests me is that the dance should allow you to visualise the structure of the score, its foundations in some way, whilst at the same time allowing you to play on the more direct levels of the music. To be able to follow, at times, the immediate aspect of what the music calls forth from our bodies: the flights, the dizziness, the physical pleasure, the most immediate response to the sounds. These two levels are interwoven ceaselessly. And the fact that the musician is on stage taking part in these two levels, brings another visualisation of the relationship between the body and the music. In fact, Amandine Beyer's playing gave us a greater understanding of the score and its internal mechanisms, and how we, for our part, should perform it. A performance always gives an image of the work process, and to be able to rehearse with Amandine Beyer and George Alexander Van Dam, the two violinists working with us, was a luxury and a pleasure. I think that the piece will also convey some of the pleasure that we experienced listening to, seeing and understanding this music in their presence.
In a sense, we find again what interested you in Reich's music: the purity of the mathematical composition, and, at the same time, the sensitive, at times almost painful, aspect of the music.
BC: Bach is often considered to be a very abstract composer but in the partita, and particularly in the chaconne, we find a carnal part, a flayed-alive aspect. Amandine Beyer said that, for her, Bach's music is always a dialogue with God; and yet those high, ear-splitting notes come from the soul of a man – and now I am going to commit a heresy – but a man deprived of God, for whom God is missing.
ATDK: For me Bach is structure, but his transcending dimension is written in the flesh. Afterwards, the same question arises whenever you tackle masterpieces: isn't it too ambitious to want to create a dance to this music? Another question which I am continually asking myself concerns our duet: on this soloist framework, very refined, to create a duet man/woman, isn't it a bit risky? Are we forcing a performance? Sometimes I think we should almost separate the bodies, make two solos. And yet at the same time our bodies follow the score, they embody the energies and rhythms that our bodies have internalised.
Talking about this project, Boris Charmatz wrote: "It is perhaps not about the desire for confrontation, nor voluntary parallelism, nor an exercise in admiration". How did you try and place yourselves next to the music without being above, below or against it?
BC: When Anne Teresa told me that she wanted to work on some Bach I thought – oh, difficult! To take a well-known example, there are probably 95 dance versions of The Rites of Spring in existence of which many are very successful. I have rarely seen a successful choreography on Bach. It's a mountain. Perhaps it's too high, or too solid, too solitary, too abstract, I don't know. In one way, what we are doing is never going to be at the level of this abstract architecture. As a result we are contributing a flutter, a light vagueness to it in comparison with the utter perfection of the music. The doubt is always there: can we manage to do something interesting? Can we measure up to this mountain? That's another reason we walk so much… to wend our way through the music.
ATDK: The other day Boris invited me to take part in a Gift workshop for non-professionals, and we worked on this music – on the corrente and the allemanda. I gave them some basic principles and then we launched into it. We only had an hour and a half. Watching them dance to Bach I thought, "In the end, isn't it better like this? Isn't it more beautiful when it is not structured?" - some very simple gestures, without any particular technique. The way the music takes up the body, all its desire to reach this music, to merge with it.
BC: Well I think the two are possible: our work in the studio, trying, re-trying, again and again, and the work of amateurs, in an hour and a half. Because there is the performance and there is what the music will have left in us after all the time spent with it. When I go home I find myself whistling the partita and it is still in my head as I fall asleep.

Any kid that grew up in the 1970s with dreams of becoming the next guitar hero had to start somewhere – usually playing a cheap acoustic model and trying to master the Mel Bay chord chart. The exciting part came when your slightly more advanced friends – and fellow budding guitarists – passed along a few iconic rock and roll licks: the opening riff to Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode," the bassline to Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" and that ringing D chord hammer-on flourish in David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust." These were the ones that you played endlessly, and especially enthusiastically if the song happened to come on the radio.
David Bowie, who opened his first U.S. tour in Cleveland, Ohio, on September 22, 1972, marks another milestone today with his first new release in a decade, "Where are We Now?," as he also celebrates his 66th birthday. The song's title gave me pause, prompting me to wonder where rock and roll would be without David Bowie.
For decades, Bowie's music has challenged and captivated fans and critics alike. Sending bold messages through the airwaves, Bowie has encouraged listeners to explore who they were and where they were going. "When David Bowie came along, well, rock and roll needed a shot in the arm, and when I first saw him, it was a shock and yet it was very familiar," remarked the Talking Heads' David Byrne, when he inducted Bowie into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996."It was very necessary. It was something that was needed. It was essential. And like all rock and roll, it was tasteless, it was glamorous, it was perverse, it was fun, it was crass, it was sexy, it was confusing."
I still remember first hearing the power chords of "Queen Bitch," the Sigma Sound–soul of "Young Americans," the rolling New Orleans–style piano that somehow hints at techno in "TVC 15," the hip Robert Zimmerman reference in "Song for Bob Dylan" – the list goes on. Bowie didn't just alter the sound of rock; he shaped the way it looked, and he expanded what it could achieve as a medium. In doing so, he inspired millions.
The flamboyant characters Bowie created, especially in the Seventies, operated in tandem with his musical aesthetic in aiming to shock and awaken the senses. The Rock Hall is home to a collection of Bowie costumes that illustrates the performer's bold and varied personas through the years – from the 1972 Freddie Burretti–designed outfit Bowie wore during the day while on tour promoting his album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars to the outfit he wore on stage during his A Reality Tour in 2003. The exhibit is a must-see for Bowie fans.
Happy Birthday David Jones, David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, The Man Who Fell to Earth.

ZF-6827: Fatal error: Call to a member function setFetchMode() on a non-object in /var/www/html/library/Zend/Db/Statement/Pdo.php on line 426
I get the "Call to a member function setFetchMode() on a non-object" with a segmentation fault when i run this code:
$locationTable = new DatabaseTable_Location();
$locationRow = $locationTable->fetchRow('id = ' . $locationid);
and when $locationid is null.
please advise. How do I find the version of zend framework? I downloaded it a couple of months ago...
Do you get an exception, or a segfault?
You can find the version of ZF by looking in /library/Zend/Version.php . If you could test this against 1.8.2 or trunk it would be highly appreciated.
I was using 1.7.2!! Wow that's old.
I upgraded to 1.8.2. This issue seems to be resolved in 1.8.2 because I see a meaningful SQL error.
Thank you!!
Also, I tried to get the source from the svn trunk. Your "Readme.txt" indicates:
"The URL for the trunk of the Zend Framework SVN repository is: http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/trunk"
I therefore tried to "svn ls http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/trunk" but i get:
my-macbook-pro:library jon$ svn ls http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/trunk svn: URL 'http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/trunk' non-existent in that revision
So, that's a different problem I suppose.
I'm closing this issue because it apparently was solved already.
What the URL is concerned, I opened up a new issue for that: ZF-6829

I don't like Ash that much, but I hate Misty even more. That bitch should get raped by one of the mountain hikers and then have a... well, I could go on and on, but I suppose you don't want to hear the graphic things I want to inflict upon Misty.
Ash is a whiny little bitch. I hate him, but at the same time I tolerate him. But yeah, Misty is a bitch.

Ash is okay...naw, I won't lie. I hate him.
ASH SUCKS!!!!!!!! Ha.
^Made By EarthDragon! Thank-you!^
I Hate You, You Hate Me... ~<3
I don't mind Ash, he's ok. But I hate that guy that Ash battles just before the Hoenn Pokemon League that has the Beldom and thinks he's real good, grrr I hate him so much.
I agree with EM. Ash was a good character at first, but he's gotten worse. Now he sucks. He has too big of an ego, and he succeeds far too much.
As for Misty, I rather like her. Although, in most of the new episodes she's in, she's far too calm. I preferred spaz-tastic Misty. She was more fun to watch.
I also agree with Azn. Brock is friggin hott. Well... from what I watched. I haven't watched the show practically at all since they got the new voice actors. I hate how the new guy does his voice. But yes, Brock was, is, and always will be amazing. He can take care of all his siblings, which encompasses cooking, cleaning, sewing, and the like; he's sensitive; he's charming; he's funny... I can't see why he never got a girl.

3 words. Ash fuckin sucks.
but, without him there would've been no pokemon in the first place
Well, Ash in the movies is better than in tv...
Brock hot?!?!? What? He has no eyes! Sorry, RangerGirl, but I fail to see how brock is hot. But I do agree with the part about the girls, I thought surely he'll score one of these days but alas the poor guy never does.
I don't like Ash's new voice, it sounds weird.
I like Ash, he's a bit naive though.
Ash needs somthing heavy dropped on him.
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
ash is so sissy!
Though I have not watched the anime in 3-4 years, and Intend to never again, I hate ash withapassion.
I don't hate him. He's irritating to watch... and his cheeks looks like they have two Harry Potter scars on them... but i wouldn't say i hate him...
Also... what's wrong with Misty?!
I really hate Ash because of how competive he is, and how his pokemon suceed so much. I really wish he would die, and everyone would point and laugh.
Also, I'm borred with Misty, and Brock. They were cool at first, but now they are just plain.
Time for some new charcters. (Maybe one that chooses Bulbasaur)
Bulba Palace
Bulbasaur Card Mistake
Go here http://pokebeach.com/sets/baseset.html Then look for card #44. Then look at it's stats. It's lenght is 15 lbs??
I think all the characters need to evolve and I don't just mean the Pokemon. The show's just been the same damn thing for 10 years and the characters haven't really grown at all. I'm tired of them but I don't really hate 'em.
Except Drew. Drew is the worst piece o' crap to ever appear on that show. Snotty little bitch always flipping his hair and facing downward with closed eyes and a $h!t-eating grin. Harley's hilarious though.

Baltimore County News
Dave Goldman
Chief, Baltimore County Bureau of Behavioral Health
There is nothing like prom with its promise of glamour, fun with friends and lifelong memories. There's also nothing like prom to entice young people to engage in risky behaviors – alcohol, drugs, fast driving, unprotected sexual activity. As much as we parents want our kids to have a lifetime of wonderful prom memories, now is the time to talk with them again about smart choices so they don't end up with a lifetime of negative consequences instead.
Prom brings a flurry of activity as teens prepare for the big night. Parents enjoy sharing the excitement, but also have good reason to worry about the safety of their children.
Research has shown that the area of the brain that helps teens assess short and long term consequences is not fully developed until the mid-twenties. Therefore, prom season presents an opportunity for parents to talk with their teens about their expectations and rules. Teens need parents to be approachable and well-informed and to bring up issues such as alcohol and other drug use. In fact, parental disapproval has been shown to be a significant reason why some youth choose not to drink. The time to begin this "heart-to-heart" conversation is long before prom night.
A common concern of parents on prom night is the risk of impaired driving and the possibility of fatal outcomes. Car crashes continue to be the number one cause of death among teens. Yet, in a survey conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association only 29% of 11th and 12th graders felt that driving impaired on prom night was highly dangerous. Students who attend after prom parties are assured an alcohol and drug free evening. Adult support is essential in planning after prom parties that successfully keep students entertained throughout the night and off the roads!
If you are the parent/guardian of a high school student that plans to attend prom this year, please use the Department of Health's Safe & Sober Prom Season 2013 Parent Guide and Pledge Book. This valuable tool is a "must-have" for parents to use when selecting prom transportation services for their teens.

|Vandals open season against WIU
MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho men's basketball team will get its 2013-14 season underway on Saturday (Nov. 9) when Western Illinois visits Memorial Gym for a 7 p.m. tipoff. The Vandals and Leathernecks have never met before in men's basketball.
Idaho returns two starters and three letterwinners from its 2012-13 team that went 12-18 and 7-11 in the Western Athletic Conference. The Vandals were picked to finish second by the media and fourth by the coaches in the WAC in 2013-14. Senior Stephen Madison and junior Connor Hill earned preseason all-WAC honors after Madison averaged 14.1 points per game and Hill contributed 12.1 in 2012-13.
Western Illinois returns six letterwinners from its 22-win team a season ago, including preseason all-Summit League selection Adam Link. Link, a senior in 2013-14, averaged 9.9 points and 4.1 rebounds last year. The Leathernecks were picked to finish fourth in the Summit League in 2013-14.
The Vandals play two of their first three games at home but will play in Moscow just two more times in 2013 after that. Idaho will visit Oklahoma on Nov. 13 to begin the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, then host Northwest Nazarene on Nov. 16.

EarthHack: Crowdsourcing the solution to climate change
- Date
- 29 May 2013
LONDON: Is the solution to our biggest collective challenge, climate change, already out there, waiting to be discovered? This is exactly what the EarthHack, a new international competition launched on May 29 in London, wants to achieve: To unleash the power of creative thinking on how existing technology can be re-purposed towards creating tomorrow's lower carbon homes. You can watch the full or edited video of the live Google+ Hangout that we hosted with some of the judges in June.
The first EarthHack, powered by the Marblar platform in partnership with The Climate Group and with the support of IKEA and Philips, asks competitors to reimagine existing technology for a more sustainable home today, to help save 1 million tons of CO2 a year by 2020.
Low carbon homes
Submitted ideas can explore potential solutions for a myriad of different types of homes: from basic dwellings to towering apartment blocks, but all entries must reimagine latent technology to create or conserve energy.
Ben Ferrari, Director of Corporate Relations at The Climate Group, said: "To drive our Clean Revolution forward we need innovative companies and entrepreneurs that are able to transform markets and the technologies that we use in our everyday lives. EarthHack opens up the doors of innovation to people from all backgrounds, nationalities and education, allowing them to become engineers of the low carbon future."
Expert judges
The panel of the competition includes former Director General of CERN, current Director of Energy Research at Oxford University, Sir Chris Llewellyn Smith and the Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge University, Sir Richard Friend along with representatives from IKEA, Philips and other cleantech experts.
Sir Chris Llewellyn Smith said: "Nearly 30% of the world's primary energy is used in residential buildings which are therefore an excellent place to look for large energy savings. EarthHack will stimulate novel applications of existing technologies that will lower energy bills and decrease carbon emissions, thereby underwriting a better future for us and our descendants."
Business collaboration
The contest is supported by members of The Climate Group, IKEA and Philips. Håkan Nordkvist, Head of Sustainability Innovation, IKEA Group, said: "IKEA wants to have a positive impact on people and the planet – and that includes inspiring and enabling our customers to live a more sustainable life at home. We are delighted to support the first EarthHack challenge. By sharing experiences, working together and building on what we offer today, we can find even more innovative and affordable ways to help millions of people to save energy, water and waste at home in the future."
Harry Verhaar, Head of Global Public & Government Affairs at Philips Lighting, said: "Philips is delighted to support the EarthHack challenge. In order to achieve a sustainable low carbon future and to maximize efficient use of resources, new ideas and innovations need to be developed and brought to market quickly. Challenges like the EarthHack can play a major role in accelerating this process."
The prize
The EarthHack [sustainable homes], is a unique opportunity for the winning creative people to:
- Share in a prize pot of US$25,000

A hike in the Peruvian rainforest is like a walk through a natural cathedral of biodiversity. Immense trees that have been stretching to the sky for hundreds of years tower overhead. Palm trees with spine-covered, stilt-like roots march across the forest floor. The understory seems to be permanently shaded by a canopy of green situated 120 feet above the forest floor. Vine tangles hide myriads of small creatures with uncanny camouflage that resemble dead leaves, twigs, and insect-chewed vegetation. Most animals in the rainforest have evolved such incredible means of staying concealed due to the high number of predators that share their leafy home.
Hundreds of birds prey upon bugs, lizards, and other small creatures and they are in turn hunted by various hawks, falcons, snakes, cats, and even a predatory bat! Nevertheless, not every creature in the jungle is naturally painted in dull hues that allow it to blend into its surroundings. Many butterflies look like fluttering jewels, tree frogs show patches of bright orange and blue, and quite a few bird species have plumage that rivals Gothic stained glass. Most of the colorful birds inhabit the canopy and it is in that upper realm of the forest where trogons are usually encountered.
Trogons are medium-sized birds that frequent tropical forests in many places in the world. Most species sport iridescent plumage that combines such hues as jade-green, purplish-blue, bright yellows, and crimson. In Tambopata, there are six species of trogons that frequent the upper levels of the rainforest. Some species are fairly common and regularly encountered on jungle hikes. Pavonine Quetzal, the largest and rarest of the trogons in Tambopata, is occasionally seen at all of the Rainforest Expedition lodges in Tambopata. Much more common are the stately Black-tailed Trogon, White-tailed Trogon, Collared Trogon, and the small Blue-crowned Trogon.
Some interesting facts about trogons:

Thirty-foot-high waves crashed through Evelyn's street "so high, so fast that if we'd stayed another minute we would have been trapped inside," she said, still breathing fast four months later as she related the event.
Never had Evelyn imagined seeing the ocean out the windows of her Seavers Avenue home, she said. After all, the two-story semi attached brick and shingled house she shared with her sons, Christopher, 14, and Nicholas, 18, was surrounded by fellow semi-attached homes that stretched more than a mile to the nearest beach.
But on the evening of October 29, Hurricane Sandy whipped the mighty Atlantic as it commandeered Staten Island roads, washed away homes, trucks and businesses and destroyed nearly everything Evelyn and her family owned.
"People think it's over," she said, recalling that night and all the tough days that have come since then. "It's nowhere near over."
She, her sons, and their two dogs, Pluto and Poppy, fought their way through the waves. They dove into their 2000 Ford Explorer. And they escaped, literally, with nothing more than the clothes on their back. Salt water, dead fish and debris filled the basement and first floor of their former home.
If it were not for help from volunteers who drove nearly 1,000 miles from Tennessee to lend a hand coupled with donations from St. Margaret Mary Church and Catholic Charities, she could never have rebuilt her home, she said.
Fortunately, St. Margaret Mary Church in Staten Island gave her sheet rock, insulation, doors, compound, nails, and tape. They also gave her a $500 gift card to Home Depot from Catholic Charities.
"I now had everything needed to set me up," she said.
But it was only a start.
This single mom had no money to pay for the rehab. When she returned to work a week after the storm, her employer, an insurance billing company, told her not to come back, she said. She could not qualify for unemployment benefits, she added, because the company denied firing her, telling the New York State Unemployment Office that they instead told her to "take all the time she needs to recover." Meanwhile, her flood and homeowners insurance still have not processed her claims.
So, while she and her sons squeezed into a one-bedroom apartment paid for, temporarily, by FEMA, she went online seeking help. On a Facebook site set up for Sandy Survivors she came across five men from Tennessee. They were looking, they wrote, for a dry place to stay in Staten Island so they could volunteer their rehab skills. Although the basement and first floor of her Seavers Avenue home had been destroyed, the second floor was dry, she wrote back, and they were welcome to it.
When the Tennessee volunteers arrived – "three guys in their 40s and two guys old enough to be my father" – they discovered that she was one of the only neighbors to have the rehab materials they needed to get to work. So they chose her home.
For more than a week they worked 12-hour days, tearing out sodden insulation and sheet rock and mucking out flooring. Then they rebuilt the walls and floors using the brand new building supplies that St. Margaret Mary Church and Catholic Charities had given her.
Her story, however, is far from finished.
"People are scavenging for building materials, people who have it much worse than me," she said. "It's a community; it's not just me."

Reviews for Candy Bar Cupcakes
"These were okay......I didn't frost them, as I liked how they looked when they came out of the oven, but I think they need the frosting. And I may have over baked them. I will make these again, but with the frosting and will watch my bake time. Sorry if this review doesn't help anyone else, but I need it as a reminder for my recipe box, for when I make them again."
"could use a different candy bar because of peanut allergies and/or ease of cutting up the candy. Frosting very good but even with cooling consistency was not as pictured for volume of swirls on cupcakes. 20 min max baking time"
"Delicious! My family Loved them!"
"With the cream cheese filling, do the cupcakes need to be stored refrigerated?"
"These cupcakes are fantastic--so moist! I made 2 changes--used dark chocolate cocoa powder and reduced-fat cream cheese. The icing is delicious, too!"

Didier Reynders on the UN Security Council's Resolution 2098 strengthening the MONUSCO in the DRC
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders is pleased that the Security Council has approved the resolution enabling an "intervention brigade" as part of the peace forces in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO). The mission of this brigade is to neutralise armed groups, and by so doing, combat the threat that these groups pose to the civilian population and make it possible to restore the rule of law in eastern DRC.
According to the Minister, the United Nations is providing, through this resolution, the elements that were missing from the provisions of the agreement made in Addis Ababa. The manner in which the obligations arising from this agreement will be transposed at a national, regional and international level is essential for a sustainable solution in eastern DRC. Didier Reynders has already applauded the appointment of Mary Robinson as Special Envoy to the Secretary-General. Among other things it will be her task to increase the dialogue between the countries in the region and to monitor the implementation of the obligations arising from the framework agreement. The Minister added that the recent transfer of Bosco Ntaganda, thanks to the role played by the governments of Rwanda, the USA and the Netherlands, is another step in the right direction towards putting an end to impunity. The resolution, which was approved today in New York City, is intended to make it possible to act more efficiently against armed groups and to protect the civilian population better. The Minister also hopes that the intervention brigade can be deployed quickly.
Didier Reynders hopes that these obligations will soon be met. His is pleased with the willingness shown by the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Minister-President Matata to continue - in parallel with the commitments made in the Addis Ababa agreement - the reforms at the request of President Joseph Kabila. Minister Reynders reiterates that Belgium is prepared to support these efforts, above all by taking part in the oversight mechanisms of the agreement.

What better way to capture everyday style than at a book party celebrating just that? Such was the occasion on Tuesday evening at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, where The Sartorialist street photographer-blogger Scott Schuman was on hand to celebrate his second photo tome, "The Sartorialist: Closer."
"The fashion that I photograph in the street makes it accessible to people in a way that magazines don't," Schuman told WWD.
The event drew an eclectic crowd, from urban hipsters to thrift-store princesses to a few who looked like they'd come directly from a major shopping spree at Ikram. On this night, the Second City was all about being first in fashion.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimi2 Love love love it! I love that I can use ANY coffee in this product for my Keurig! It is perfect!! December 26, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by tpm38 won't stay closed I've had the ekobrew for less than 3 months. I do not use it every day but almost; so regular use. Recently, I started having problems with it staying closed during brewing. Now it's every time I use it. I end up with coffee grounds in my cup which is gross. I do not over fill the ekobrew and I clean it after every use. I emailed the company but have not heard anything back. I would have expected this to last longer than it has. April 9, 2013
