1. It's BleacherReport..
2. Link is broken
Cue the haters who always ***** about everything they don't post.
Furious Bleacher Report Editor Will Make Staff Rank Things All ******* Night If He Has To | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
Do they not know that we hold teams below their scoring average? 35pt from a ConUSA team, come on, make it believable. Wish our rushers had to face ConUSA all year and Jantz would look like a superstar (maybe) and we would have a 2 head rushing attack with each over a 100yards every game.
Hey maybe I should write for bleacher report (and nothing intended against the OP)

I'm not trying to be difficult, it comes naturally....
-100 points for linking Bleacher Report. It's like CF will never learn...
Bleacher Report
Best part of the article ... picture of the cheerleader on the right margin.
Garbage lazy *** reporters who don't appear to follow football report on these bowls.
Your first mistake was reading Bleacher Report. Your second mistake was posting Bleacher Report.
And CW's mistake was not auto banning anyone who posts a Bleacher Report article.
I believe ISU struggles... and loses. D isn't what it was.
Bleacher Report has to be the scum of the earth.
For some reason my iPad wont open the page. Anyone care to share the jist of the article?
edit: never mind, I was able to get it to work. Typical bleacher report to only look at the record of the teams and make an uneducated prediction.

"The greatest risk in life is not taking one"
The article basically says that Tulsa is one of the best rushing teams in the nation, which their numbers show but against who. It also says we snuck in barely with a 6-6 record. predicts a 35-24 tulsa win.

Top 10 Hottest Baseball Cards May 2010
- Details
- Hits: 6994
|Top 10 Hottest Cards
-Baseball Cards on eBay -
May 2010
|1 - 2010 Bowman Stephen Strasburg Superfractor 1/1
No other card has captivated the hobby world in 2010 like the 2010 Bowman Superfractor 1/1 card that hit eBay on May 19. The seller of the card originally had it for sale for $20,000 or best offer and had to "settle" for $16,403 at auction.
2010 Bowman Stephen Strasburg 1/1 Superfractor
Sold For: $16,403
Bids: 84
Auction Date: May 19 - May 29, 2010
Auction Watchers: 10,330
eBay Seller: dunksb_sz10
Not only was the Superfractor 1/1 getting a lot of attention, so were the rest of Strasburg's rookie cards. 2010 Bowman Blue Refractor Autographs were selling in the $400-500 range on eBay.
|3 - 2010 Bowman Baseballl
2010 Topps Series 1 was a home run with collectors. The million card giveaway, the pie in the face cards, it was a lot of love for Topps. Well, they hit a grand slam with 2010 Bowman because collectors were eating this stuff up when it hit the shelves in mid May.
The Strasburg Superfractor brought a lot of positive attention to the set and baseball cards in general. Topps Chrome and Allen & Ginter should be major winners as well. Get your pre-orders in if you want to get a box!
|4 - Jason Heyward Rookie Cards
Jason Heyward was the player on fire to start the season but now Stephen Strasburg is the one getting the most hype. Heyward has produced for the Braves and while his cards have come down a bit, he is still commanding triple figures for a Bowman Autograph Rookie Card.
His 2007 Bowman Chrome Draft Superfractor 1/1 sold for $1,550.00 in late February, and now the card is graded BGS 9 and has an asking price of $10,000 or best offer on eBay.
2007 Bowman Chrome Draft Jason Heyward Superfractor 1/1
For Sale: $10,000
|5 - Bryce Harper 2010 Bowman Cards
The future 2010 MLB #1 Pick will have to wait his turn to get a crack at the hobby top spot. His cards are hot, but nowhere near as hot as Strasburg or Heyward. Collectors can get his 2008 Upper Deck USA Autograph, but his 2010 Bowman Refractor cards are the ones that have been hot.
|6 - Starlin Castro 2009 Bowman Rookie Card
Starlin Castro hit a HR in his first Major League AB May 7, 2010. Cubs nation quickly got on eBay and started scooping up as many rookie cards as they could. He has cooled off recently, but if he gets hot with the bat you can expect sales of his cards to also heat up.
7 - Ubaldo Jimenez Rookie Cards
|8 - Mike Stanton Rookie Cards
Stanton is one of the top prospects in all of baseball and has gotten a lot of hobby love during his minor league career because the numbers are staggering. In just 48 games this season for AA Jacksonville, Stanton has crushed 20 HR's.
He is big, tall and very strong. Don't look for the Florida Marlins to trade away Stanton unless they can't afford him in 5 years when he is a superstar. The market is hot for Stanton, but this kid really looks like a good one and you might want to try and get a rookie while you still can.
|9 - Evan Longoria Rookie Cards
A hot start to the MLB season has put the collector spotlight back on former super prospect Evan Longoria. You've got a good selection of cards from 2006 and 2008. Be sure to check out the prices of both years to get a feel for what are his most popular rookie cards.
It also hasn't hurt that Tampa Bay has played some of the best baseball all season and Longoria is a big reason for their early success.
|10 - 2010 Topps Chicle Baseball
This product has been nowhere near as hot as Topps Series 1 or Bowman. Despite early concerns about the design of the cards, collectors have given 2010 National Chicle a stamp of approval more often than not.
We busted a box of Chicle for some of our fan forum members who submitted articles to our Insider Hobby Tips section of our site. Some of the cards are fantastic, while others leave you scratching your head (Babe Ruth in a Braves Uniform).

For better and worse, the Sundance Film Festival is about getting noticed.
It's, of course, about garnering attention for independent film and filmmakers. But with more than 45,000 attendees—including hundreds of media outlets and dozens of celebrities—it's no wonder companies both large and small take the opportunity to vie for a little piece of Sundance's spotlight for themselves. A couple of Utah companies that used the Sundance vortex to garner some attention for their new products are The Queen's Tea and Resvology.
Seth Anderson (left) and Michael Ferguson met on Facebook and are partners in The Queen's Tea and "everything else."
Queen's Tea founders Seth Anderson and Michael Ferguson are University of Utah students; Anderson is working on a Masters in history and Ferguson, a PhD in functional neuroscience, so naturally they started a tea company. "Tea is so good at connecting people, it's almost like it picked us rather than us choosing to go into tea," Ferguson says.
I stumbled upon the couple on the lower level of a Main Street gallery during my Sundance wanderings last weekend. They'd rented the space for the weekend to give away samples of their loose leaf teas during the festival. And I have to say, their teas are a true multi-sensory experience, smelling as good and comforting as they taste; just what I was looking for after spending hours tromping around Park City in January.
Anderson and Ferguson launched the Queen's Tea in November 2012. Their teas can be found at the Utah Co-op Market (4892 Commerce Drive) and the Wasatch Front Farmer's Market (Sundays at Wheeler Farm). They also offer tea making and appreciation classes.
Resvology CEO Kevin Passey banked on star power to get exposure for his anti-aging skin care product line, booking space in one of Sundance's most prolific celebrity gifting suites, the Kari Feinstein Style Lounge.
Resvology also has connections to Utah higher ed, but in a more direct way. The technology used in the company's anti-aging skin care products is based on cancer treatment studies at Brigham Young University. CEO Kevin Passey says the difference between Resvology products and the million other lotions and creams promising to "reduce the appearance of fine lines" is that his stuff works on the molecular level. "The 4 A-R molecule in Resvology products is a gene activator. It selects and triggers those genes responsible for making skin look younger," Passey says.
Rather than the grassroots approach taken by The Queen's Tea guys, Resvology was being promoted inside the Kari Feinstein Style Lounge, a gifting suite hosted by the well-known L.A. based Kari Feinstein Public Relations. (Of course, I saw no one famous while I was there interviewing Passey, but apparently visitors later in the day include Katherine Heigl and Matthew MacConaughey.) Resvology's public launch is scheduled for sometime this spring. Passey is hoping to sell Resvology products through Sephora and QVC.

Contest-Winning BLT Pizza RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 10 14
A friend shared the recipe for this cold pizza that gets its crispy crust from refrigerated crescent roll dough. My co-workers especially like it when I bring this refreshing snack in to work.
- 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 cups shredded lettuce
- 12 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- Separate crescent dough into eight triangles; place on a lightly greased 14-in. pizza pan with points toward the center. Press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of pan, forming a crust; seal perforations. Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and mustard; spread over crust. Sprinkle with lettuce, bacon, tomato, onions and cheese. Yield: 6-8 slices.

This fact sheet details the policy, programmatic, budget, and manpower changes that have happened in the immigration arena as an outgrowth of the 9/11 attacks.
The EU-U.S. relationship is one of the most significant partnerships among wealthy nations. Interconnections between the two on migration issues make dialogue necessary and inevitable, as each relies on each other to attain a number of policy objectives, most clearly in the case of travel and border security.
The exponential growth of international travel since the 1960s has left border management systems worldwide struggling to keep up and has exposed weaknesses in states' abilities to effectively manage their borders, especially regarding terrorist attacks, human trafficking, and illegal migration.
Information and technology are centerpieces of a new border architecture that seeks to respond to the competing demands of facilitating mobility and managing cross-border risks while remaining cost-efficient and respectful of rights and privacy. This report shows how governments must approach border management systems to ensure properly balanced development.
This report details the post-9/11 programs and agreements implemented by U.S. and European governments to identify terrorists and serious transnational criminals through the collection and processing of increasing quantities of traveler data.
Faced with enormous political pressure to stop illegal immigration and to prevent the entry of potential terrorists, the U.S. government has devoted ever more resources to enforcing border policies. It remains unclear, the author argues, whether the efficacy of these programs warrants their costs.

The Breck Epic - Stage #1
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Stage One – Pennsylvania Gulch - Powered by Panache CycleWear
For other stage information, photos, results and other media outlets check out our 2011 Breck Epic page
08.14.2011 – (Breckenridge, CO) Moderate temperatures greeted the field for the first stage of the third annual Breck Epic MTB Stage Race. On tap for the day was a classic Summit County route noted for both its proximity to town and for its rugged nature.
At roughly 40 miles, stage one didn't look like much on paper, but as the day played out it proved itself a likely player in the final standings as race favorite after race favorite fell by the wayside, their tire sidewalls victim to the route's unforgiving character.

Race favorites Josh Tostado (Bach Builders/Santa Cruz) and Travis Brown (Trek) fell victim to stage one's rocky underbelly, Tostado relinquishing the lead just seconds after its gain to eventual stage winner multiple-time La Ruta de los Conquistadores champion, Lico Ramirez. Brown's misfortune came just 5 miles from the finish and saw him drop five spots in the overall. Local neo-pro Kevin Kane (Rocky Mountain) held on for second, finishing just 8 minutes off the pace set by Ramirez.
On the women's side, Sonya Looney (Ergon) showed up fresh from her CTR attempt with fitness to spare, putting 14 minutes into second-place finisher Katie Lindquist (Ericksen). Jen Tilley (Honey Stinger/Trek) rounded out the podium in the women's open category.
With approximately 210 miles left to go, none of these categories is decided. Luck, fitness, racing smarts and Mother Nature are all going to have their say. On deck for Monday is 40+ miles of prime high-alpine Colorado singletrack as racers are treated to the legendary Colorado trail. An overnight storm cell dumped a tiny bit of moisture on course, making everything north-facing super-tacky hero-dirt.

In any event, let's say the Rear Ends Sharpton and Jesse fantasy scenario have it right, poor little Trayvon was jumped by Z. Under Florida self defense law, even if you start a fight, once the other party starts using "deadly force" on you, you can respond in kind and self defense applies to his death at your hands. Blows to the head and smashing onto concrete aside, the second he reached for Z's gun he turned a fistfight into a deadly force encounter and justified his own homicide. End of story.

The justification described in the preceding sections of this chapter is not available to a person who:
(1) Is attempting to commit, committing, or escaping after the commission of, a forcible felony; or
(2) Initially provokes the use of force against himself or herself, unless:
(a) Such force is so great that the person reasonably believes that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm and that he or she has exhausted every reasonable means to escape such danger other than the use of force which is likely to cause death or great bodily harm to the assailant; or
(b) In good faith, the person withdraws from physical contact with the assailant and indicates clearly to the assailant that he or she desires to withdraw and terminate the use of force, but the assailant continues or resumes the use of force.

Full SubmissionOctober 2011 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20) CIDSE submission to the Rio+20 Zero Draft Document The context of Rio+20 The 1992 Rio United Nations Conference on Environment and Development established the paradigm that Sustainable Development must be holistic and incorporate social, economic and environment imperatives. For the first time, developed and developing countries agreed to a framework based on mutual rights and obligations. The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development affirmed the ?polluter pays?, ?common but differentiated responsibilities,? and precautionary principles as essential concepts underlying this framework. Already ahead of the 2002 Johannesburg Summit, it was acknowledged that progress in implementing Sustainable Development has been extremely disappointing since the 1992 Earth Summit. The hope, born in Johannesburg, that the numerous voluntary multi- stakeholder partnerships, together with governments? aspirational targets on sanitation, chemicals, fish stocks, and biodiversity, would succeed in implementing Sustainable Development, clearly has failed to deliver in the ten years since. The environmental crisis is indeed worsening, with the imperious and yet unsolved threat of climate change already impacting the most vulnerable and yet least responsible communities. Positive trends regarding poverty eradication are still contradicted by the persistence of severe inequality between and within states. The partial progress that has been achieved is threatened by the confluence of global crises in food, energy, climate, Finance and the economy. The Rio+20 Conference is thus a key opportunity to perpetuate the legacy of a historical international Declaration and Agenda 21 action plan, which paved the way for the implementation of Sustainable Development policies, and to give a structural answer to the current challenges. It is also an opportune moment for the international community, twenty years after the first Earth Summit, to push forward a credible and efficient pathway towards Sustainable Development and poverty eradication. CIDSE?s Vision CIDSE is an international alliance of Catholic development agencies working in the north and with partners in the south to promote global social justice and solidarity. CIDSE advocates a shift from models that encourage a material conception of being, illustrated by resource and carbon-intensive consumption along with extreme profits and inequalities, to models that work in favour of human well-being, living simply, in community, giving priority to equity, sustainability, and responsibility. CIDSE?s vision of sustainability is founded on the principle that human beings are stewards of creation, called to care for the environment in a responsible way so as to pass it on to future generations. New models of economy and society need to integrate the concept of finitude. There is a limited quantity of energy and material and a need to share the natural resources that we have both equitably and sustainably. One element to be explored is reorienting consumption and production to the local scale, reflecting the need to consider our ecological footprint, as well as our connection to the environment and to our local region. A fundamental recognition of the dignity of every human being, with particular attention to the poorest and most vulnerable, is also central to our vision of sustainability. This obligation goes beyond the individual aspect and requires a broader commitment: that each individual contribute to the common good. The common good is the sum of all those conditions of living in community - economic, political, social and cultural - which make it possible for women and men readily and fully to achieve authentic human development. We are meant to be one human family that lives in peace, justice and solidarity1. The need for new models has also been highlighted by efforts to redefine measure of economic performance and social progress (alternatives to GDP), such as the Sustainable Economic Well-being Index, and similar initiatives in Germany and Italy, as well as Bhutan?s Gross National Happiness Index. The Rio +20 Conference: our expectations Considering the legacy of the Earth Summit on Sustainable Development policies, but also in view of the shortcomings regarding the implementation of such policies, of the actual converging crises, calling on holistic and structural solutions achieving real change, the Rio+20 Conference must put in place a stronger agenda on Sustainable Development reflecting the ethos behind the Earth Summit, that embraces a rights-based approach, linking the imperative of ecological sustainability with human development and poverty eradication. It must succeed to deliver an agreement on a legally-binding, time-bound and ambitious framework on Sustainable Development, stating clear targets and setting efficient indicators. A focus on ?Green Economy? should not become a substitute for the objective of Sustainable Development. Green Economy in the context of Sustainable Development and poverty eradication Sustainable Development is first and foremost about people. Economic development and opportunities are central to poor people's concerns and aspirations, and yet the relationship between growth and poverty reduction is far from certain. Research has shown that the success factors include the fair distribution of income and wealth during the growth process. CIDSE acknowledges that an overall concept of Green Economy may be able to provide tools to achieve Sustainable Development and poverty eradication. However, the UNCSD must recognise that the focus on Green Economy should not become a shorthand for the concept of Sustainable Development, and that a broad comprehension of Sustainable Development should stay the main focus of the Conference agenda. Whilst we recognize that some aspects of greening of our economies can make a significant contribution to Sustainable Development, it cannot serve as the main strategy to reach Sustainable Development. Moreover existing economic models based on growth have proven to be unsustainable. Therefore a true reflection on Sustainable Development should include a questioning of existing economic trends and shouldn?t be equated with the notion of sustainable growth. For the Green Economy concept to support Sustainable Development and poverty eradication it must include notably the following principles: � Green Economy must take into account the 3 aspects of Sustainable Development : environmental, economic and social, � Green Economy must respect all human rights, � Green Economy must be fair and equitable to northern and southern countries, � Green Economy should involve the communities and citizens affected by the proposed policies and projects, � Green Economy should take into account the protection of natural resources and biodiversity, by eliminating any harmful subsidy, � Green Economy should question the unsustainable consumption and production patterns, including overall levels of resource use, that led to the current environmental crises, � Green Economy should not be built on the current economic models based on growth and linking growth to the use of natural resources, � Green Economy should use indicators other than GDP. Green Economy roadmaps should not be considered as anything other than a tool. Moreover as soft law does not give us the needed results, international legal frameworks, products norms and regulations have to be part of the toolkit for achieving Sustainable Development. Institutional framework for Sustainable Development Tackling the current challenges to reach Sustainable Development requires an institutional framework that embraces all its complexities and inter-linkages. It is therefore essential that the institutional framework is sufficiently resourced and influential to guarantee that frameworks and policies such as those on development, ecology, agriculture and food security, for tackling climate-change and regulating Finance and the private sector in general are coherent with it. It must also be able to address the fundamental value frames that form the basis of our common humanity and will define our collective future. The Colombian government?s proposal to formulate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a good starting point in this endeavour. The proposal is a useful attempt to update the existing Sustainable Development agenda to new challenges and reconcile this agenda with concerns for creating a Green Economy. Moreover it rightly emphasizes the need for clear goals and indicators and a process of decentralization and consultation to arrive at commitments that are owned by countries and for which they can be held accountable. Building on the SDGs, creating a new institutional framework will require the following elements: 1. The framework should build on the existing Sustainable Development agenda but also addresses current challenges such as climate change, the finitude of natural resources, increasing global poverty and inequality and today?s financial and economic governance crises. 2. The framework should uphold international law and agreements, most notably the UN Charter, the UN Human Rights Conventions, the Convention to eliminate all forms of discrimination against women (CEDAW), the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 3. The framework should include clear commitments which can be translated into national and even community-level goals and indicators. 4. The framework should also include clear operational commitments including gender disaggregated reporting requirements, requirements to undertake human rights impact assessments and public consultations. 5. The framework should be legally binding. Public and private actors should be legally accountable for their actions in fulfilling or undermining the framework?s commitments. 6. The framework should include a clear time-frame. This would underline the urgency of implementing sustainable pathways to secure the well-being of present and future generations. 7. The framework should be formulated on the basis of extensive public consultation. Lessons must be drawn from the formulation and implementation of another such framework: the Millennium Development Goals. Research done by CIDSE?s member organization CAFOD with development practitioners whose work was impacted by the MDGs have emphasized that if a framework of public commitments is to overcome the limitations of the MDG framework, it must be formulated after extensive consultation with its final beneficiaries and those potentially affected by it3. To this end, CIDSE recommends that the Rio+20 outcome document should contain: 1. A clear statement that the UN will play a central role in the governance of Sustainable Development policies. 2. A commitment to ensure coherence of policies in the areas of development, tackling climate change, protecting ecosystems, on agriculture, trade, Finance, investment and the private sector with the Sustainable Development framework. 3. Commitment to formulate a global legally-binding, time-bound Sustainable Development Framework by 2015. 4. Commitment to translate the Framework into goals and indicators at the national and local level. 5. Commitment to a process of extensive and meaningful public consultation in formulating the Sustainable Development Framework. The UN should have a central role in formulating, implementing and securing accountability of this framework. To this end, it would be important to upgrade the Commission of Sustainable Development at the UN to become an Intergovernmental Council. Alternately, a reformed and strengthened ECOSOC could be mandated to take on this function. The ambition of the Rio+20 Conference: Sustainable Development and poverty eradication On this basis, the Rio+20 Conference must focus its agenda on a consistent and coherent vision of Sustainable Development, able to bring the necessary change and to progress on the way to poverty eradication. This implies to get clear agreements towards binding commitments on the following issues: a. Regarding the private sector : 1. Increased prominence to the role of the private sector must be balanced by concern for its responsibility and accountability. Enthusiasm for partnerships and financing should be matched by equal attention to adequate regulation, and government capacity to supervise and address negative impacts of business models and operations on Sustainable Development. The UN ?Protect, Respect and Remedy? framework and Guiding Principles on business and human rights provide one element of this more comprehensive approach. 2. The requirement of corporate reporting on human rights, social and environmental impacts of domestic and foreign operations, and related contract disclosure. 3. The requirement of Country by Country Reporting as part of the international accounting standards for Trans-National Corporations (TNCs) in all sectors. While such accounting requirements are important for all TNCs, they are needed with the 3 CAFOD. 100 voices: Southern perspectives on what should come after the Millennium Development Goals, March 2011. utmost urgency for improving governance and domestic accountability in relation to exploitation of oil, gas minerals and other natural resources, because these are finite, non-renewable resources. If these resources are not managed wisely, the development chances of many ordinary people will have been squandered in this generation and in future generations. b. In the area of food and policies related to trade and agriculture: 1. Agriculture in its multifunctional dimension (economic, social, ecological...) should play a central role in the conference discussions. The sector touches on all facets of sustainability ecological, economic, social, energy... 2. In an effort to guarantee coherence between policy and action, donor governments and international institutions should effectively support the scaling up of agro- ecological modes of production in their development policies and practices, as espoused in the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) report. Support should be targeted to enable the scaling up of these sustainable modes of production which demonstrate ?strong conceptual connection to guaranteeing the right to food? and which have yielded results in contributing to local economic development, food security among the poorest as well as delivering on environmental benefits4. 3. The industrial food production system, which is driving force of environmental and climatic changes, contributing to 30 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions need to be challenged along with the commodification and commercialization of natural resources. In addition to supply side restructuring there is a need to address our consumption models more generally not only in regards to food, but also energy consumption. Efforts should be made to reduce waste in the food system and increase energy efficiency. Special attention should be paid to the negative impacts of biofuel directives which are compromising the realization of the right to food and putting increasing pressure on land. 4. The FAO Committee on World Food Security (CFS) should be legitimized as the governing body for global food, agriculture and nutrition policy. It should be the central interlocutor on these issues, hence whatever decisions are taken at the Rio conference should be aligned with the processes being driven by the CFS. c. In the area of climate change: 1. The international community must raise its commitments towards GHG emissions reduction and adaptation efforts, taking into account the CBDR (Common but Differentiated Responsibilities) principle, and commit within the climate talks of the UNFCCC. 2. States should ensure that the needed long term climate Finance will be delivered, beyond the pledged $100 billion per year by 2020. 4 Report submitted by Olivier De Schutter, Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food to the Human Right?s Council, 16th Session, December 20, 2010. 3. Governments, businesses and civil society should agree on practical steps at local and national levels, to address climate change, both via mitigation and adaptation projects. These projects must be developed on the basis of strong environmental and social safeguards. d. In the area of Finance: The Monterrey Consensus on Financing for Development must be reaffirmed. At the same time taking into consideration the challenges brought with the magnitude of multiple crises that the world faces, it is important to go further, building on this agenda. This would include: 1. Ending the opacity of the financial system. This opacity undermines Sustainable Development, reducing countries? financial resources. Ending tax havens; sanctioning those jurisdictions that do not comply with international efforts to end financial system opacity; and ensuring greater transparency and reliability of financial data to prevent tax avoidance are some of the broad areas that will need to be addressed to tackle this problem. 2. Putting in place mechanisms to strengthen the financial capacity of countries to deal with crises. Securing international monetary stability; fair predictable and transparent treatment of sovereign debt crises; and reforming the system of Special Drawing Rights are important measures to strengthen countries? ability to weather crises. 3. Regulating financial markets to end speculation and reorient the financial sector to provide credit for activities that contribute to Sustainable Development. A new framework for cooperation on international banking supervision and regulating commodity markets are some of the important issues to be addressed in this regard. 4. New and innovative financial mechanisms should trigger structural and systemic changes which will lead to Sustainable Development. Reform of taxation, removal of harmful subsidies and other measures are needed to discourage harmful activity in the real economy and financial sector, reflecting true costs to environment and society while contributing to greater equity. The European Commission has shown leadership in its proposal for a Financial Transactions Tax within Europe, as a step towards a global FTT. A substantial portion of the resulting revenues should be secured for the global challenges of poverty and climate change. CIDSE is an international alliance of Catholic development agencies.

Editor's note: Jessica Mendoza '02 was a four-time First-Team All-American in softball at Stanford, only the fifth player in NCAA history to accomplish the feat. The slugging outfielder set six school records, and helped lead the Cardinal to its first-ever appearance in the Women's College World Series as a junior. Last year, she was inducted into the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame.
The Camarillo, Calif. native was a member of the U.S. Women's National Softball Team from 2001-2010, and twice played in the Olympic Games (gold and silver medal). She now works as an analyst and sideline reporter for ESPN.
-By Jessica Mendoza
To me, Stanford is so much more than just the classes and athletics. What stood out on my recruiting trip was the depth of people. Having a conversation with anyone, whether it be sitting in a coffee shop or a dorm room, was always unbelievably captivating.
To be honest, it wasn't until my recruiting trip that I realized how unique Stanford was. One of the coolest things about Stanford is that it doesn't take very long to get to know it. I was there for two or three days my senior year in high school and felt like I got a really good grasp and glimpse about what life as a Stanford student would be like. It automatically put Stanford to the top of the list for me and opened me up to an amazing place that really didn't exist anywhere else.
A memory from playing softball that stands out to me is going to the Women's College World Series for the first time in Stanford history, jumping into the diving pool after we won and making history for our program.
Academically, I remember sitting in certain classes that literally changed me and the way I looked at the world. One was African American History: The Modern Freedom Struggle taught by Dr. Clayborne Carson, founding director of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research and Education Institute. His classes were so unbelievably powerful. There was no sugar-coating. It changed the way I looked at life and those around me because of the passion and emotion he brought to every class.
I received my degree in American Studies and got my Masters in Social Sciences in Education, but had very little experience in television. Competing in two Olympics and the experience that brought me toward the media was a tool that brought me closer to understanding "the other side" of sports. Being on the other end of interviews, I slowly got asked, 'Would you ever be interested in being on the other side?' In 2007, ESPN asked me to be involved in their softball coverage. That soon lead to me covering college football, Major League
Baseball and college baseball.
What I enjoy about working in television is the constant challenge that it brings. I love that it's live television, so there's no room for error. And I love the pressure. Even as a sideline reporter, I'd say more so. I'll be at an SEC football game in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and there's 90,000 screaming fans and we're going live at kickoff. I can't hear myself think and I've got 30 seconds right before kickoff to do my open on live television. There's nothing like that kind of pressure, and it's the kind of pressure I've always thrived on as an athlete and even thrust on myself as student. One of my mentors, Billie Jean King, always said it best, "Pressure is a Privilege".
I'm really trying to push the envelope of being one of the first female analysts for baseball. That's something that has never really been done. Last month, I was breaking down hitters at the College World Series. For MLB, I sat down with 13 of the top hitters this year, like Josh Hamilton, Prince Fielder and Matt Kemp, and talked hitting for ESPN's Baseball Tonight. To be able to continue to do that is a huge goal of mine, especially with few women commentating within men's sports.
Some of my favorite athletes tend to be Cardinal. Julie Foudy is one of my favorites. Kerri Walsh, too. We have so much fun talking about really bigger issues, and I think it's something that we share as Stanford student-athletes. I admire watching them perform as well. I also admire Billie Jean King. I admire any athlete who takes on more than just their sport.
So for Billie Jean to take on the entire responsibility of getting equality for women's sports back in the 70s and the fact that she still was one of the greatest tennis players of all time, is amazing.
From an athlete's point of view, the best advice I've ever received is practice like you're the worst player on the field and play like you're the best. I have used that in all aspects of life, every time you're preparing for something, you should always have the humility that everyone out there is better than you. You just need to be constantly working to get better. But then have that component of confidence when it's time to perform, and that insecurity of I've got to get better goes away. And now it's like, 'No, I've prepared harder than anyone else out there, it's go time and I'm going to kick everyone's butt.' That balance of humility and confidence is so hard.
I think that the Buck/Cardinal Club is what makes us the best university in the world, because we are able to have the support system that is far beyond the borders of our university. I remember walking the halls of Arrillaga Family Sports Center and seeing the photos of the student-athletes and names of the families that helped donate scholarships. And I remember thinking there are so many people involved in making our athletic department a success. Stanford does it the right way, and it's because we have the support to do it the right way. It's not about winning all the time, even though we do win all the time. To me, it's really about giving student-athletes the experience to be more than just a jock. To really throw themselves into the academics, to throw themselves into socializing with every student, not just the athletes.
It all comes back to the Buck/Cardinal Club. Most of them are alumni or associated with the university and they all get and support that. You can feel that from day one that you step on campus.
Every time I think of Stanford, I feel like it's such a small world, the Stanford bubble. If I meet anybody from Stanford, it's just an understanding and connection that I don't have with anyone else that I'll ever meet. When I go back to campus and meet anyone who went to Stanford, we immediately start talking about where we lived freshman year, or what classes we took, or if we ran with the band that first month. I don't care if I meet someone who is class of 1950 or 2012, they have the same experiences and truly appreciate what
Stanford has provided us. It was the most influential time in my life and really helped shaped the diverse person I have become.

Christensen Global Strategies
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Christensen Global Strategies
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionProposed: Perhaps the greatest need and opportunity at Rio+20 is to begin redirection of capital at scale for sustainable human well-being and restoration of natural systems through adoption of: revised national accounting metrics; new corporate balance sheet standards; and, amended supporting regulations. This proposal asserts that the official declaration produced at Rio+20 should recognize the need to adjust accounting systems to value human well-being. Because business balance sheets are equally in need of change, this issue is already part of the agenda at the World Green Summit, a private sector gathering that Christensen Global Strategies is convening with World Climate Limited parallel to the Rio+20 official meeting. However, conversation among business and government leaders is essential to driving change, therefore we propose to organize an additional conversation with business-government leaders as either a side event or an official government event facilitating conversation and collaboration leading to adjustments in national accounting metrics, balance sheets, and the regulatory frameworks supporting them (e.g. financial disclosure, accounting standards). Thank you for your consideration of this important topic. Introduction The Need For A New Capitalist Model Nations first began quantifying national accounts as a measure of economic Health nearly seventy years ago. In that time, Gross Domestic Product became the definitive measure of a nations well being. With its emphasis on short-term profits however, GDP captures an overly narrow picture of national Health and progress; it utterly fails to measure what we truly value ? human well-being. The economists who developed national account measurements never considered natural resource depletion ? natural resources were limitless in their 19th century world. It also never occurred to them that many ecological systems conferred great economic values that should be included in GDP measurements and on corporate balance sheets. Yet, such considerations are imperative in today's world as we watch population increase exponentially, resources dwindle or degrade in quality, and nations jockey for first place in efficiency, sustainability, and innovation. The assessment tools used by almost all nations fail to measure these factors. This disconnect between outdated metrics and modern-day threats to a stable planet must be fixed. Its exaggerated emphasis on short-term profits skews our capitalist system toward unsustainable practices. Re-aligning the power of capital markets to promote human wellbeing requires that we encourage four essential actions: investing for the long-term; internalizing externalities; valuing nature; and adopting qualitative metrics for measuring growth. Progress on New Metrics in Support of Capitalism for the 21st Century A movement is building among business and government leaders to change how we measure well being and Rio+20 should support and encourage this transformation so that capital will be redirected at scale to create healthier societies and more resilient natural systems. Among businesses, leaders such as Google are pricing carbon on their balance sheets or like Puma calculating their externality costs for water and carbon with the first-ever environmental profit and loss statement (P&L). Dow Chemical and The Nature Conservancy are working to value nature on Dow's balance sheet, and Generation Investment rewards its investment teams for the long-term performance of their portfolios. Bhutan leads government innovators with its Gross National Happiness index that measures the quality of its people's lives. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is working with governments on revised GDP metrics that measure well-being. All of these signal positive shifts toward a new capitalism ? Rio+20 can and should be a powerful platform for accelerating the trend. The Private & Public Sector At Rio+20: Mobilizing Leadership We propose and are ready to support the implementation of: ? An event in support of Rio+20 including business and government leaders engaging in a complementary conversation about the future of valuing natural resources and human well being; and ? Inclusion in the governmental declaration recognition of the need to adjust governmental metrics and value natural resources so as to better support human well-being.

Bethune-Cookman men's basketball rally falls short at Tulane
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 12:11 a.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Bethune-Cookman suffered its second loss by a 65-55 score in as many games Tuesday, this time to Tulane before 1,651 at Devlin Fieldhouse.
In a game similar to its season-opening loss at St. Bonaventure, B-CU (0-2) cut a double-digit deficit to a two-possession game.
Kevin Dukes hit a 3-pointer with 4:05 remaining to cut Tulane's lead to 57-53 before the Green Wave (1-1) used an 8-2 run to close the game.
"We talked about finishing the game, and in that sense, we didn't make progress (Tuesday)," coach Gravelle Craig said. "You have to learn to play through on the road."
Ricky Tarrant scored 21 points for Tulane, which went to the free-throw line 35 times to B-CU's seven.
Dukes led the Wildcats with 13 points. Mikel Trapp scored a career-high 12 points — all on 3-pointers — and Adrien Coleman added 11 points and eight rebounds.
Trapp hit three from behind the arc in the first half as B-CU took a 22-13 lead with 11:32 remaining before Tulane rallied for a 37-31 halftime lead.

I've just returned from a five-week trip in eight countries, meeting with students, parents and counselors, and sharing information about Monmouth College. What a great experience! I met many engaging and thoughtful young people, and had good conversations with them and their families. I hope to see some of them again soon on campus.
This will be a short note about choosing your college, with a recommendation that students consider four things as they prepare for study in the United States*.
The first thing to consider is your level of academic preparation. How well have you done in high school? Were your classes rigorous, college-prep courses? Did you succeed in them? With which subjects did you struggle? With which subjects did you do well? How strong is your English language ability (reading, writing, speaking and comprehending)? Did you participate in student organizations? Did you volunteer your time in school or in the community? Did you take leadership roles in student or community organizations? A thoughtful, honest self-inventory of your abilities and accomplishments will help you decide to which colleges and universities you should apply for admission.
The second thing is to consider your ability to pay for your college education. Most colleges and universities will expect to see documentation of international students' ability to contribute significantly to the cost of their education. This doesn't mean that you should make plans to pay for the entirety of your undergraduate education – there are excellent merit scholarships available, and in some instances, at some universities, some degree of need-based aid. However, it does mean that you should assess your ability to invest in your education each year to some degree (it's good to anticipate costs ranging all over the place, from less than $10,000 per year to over $60,000 per year). Many colleges will not admit students who cannot afford a large part (or at least some part) of the cost of their studies. When you go in for your student visa interview, you will also need to be ready to provide evidence of available funds sufficient to meet the cost of your studies for at least the first year.
The third consideration is your academic interest or interests. What do you want to study? What different disciplines draw you? What is your passion? What are your career goals? You don't have to decide upon your major before applying for college! Many liberal arts colleges do not expect you to know your major when you enter – and it is almost always possible to change your major, to decide to double-major, and/or to add a minor to complement your major at a U.S. college. However, you may have very particular interests, and if this is the case, you need to be sure that the colleges you are looking at offer courses of study in the areas of your interest.
The fourth consideration is the quality of the overall academic experience you desire. Do you want to become involved in student organizations? Do you want small classes and thoughtful, personalized advising? Are you happier in large classes? Do you want to become involved in undergraduate research? (If this is case, liberal arts colleges are a very good choice.) Do you plan to seek out an internship? Are you hoping to join a choir or a string ensemble? Do the colleges and universities to which you want to apply offer support and mentoring, orientation programs and host families, for international students? Do you want the safety and friendliness of a small town or rural setting, or do you want the bustle and excitement of a city (or some combination of the two)?
Best wishes! Obviously, I hope you consider small liberal arts and sciences colleges. I think such colleges offer the very best undergraduate education available in the States, and that our small classes, excellent student-faculty ratio (13:1), academic focus, distinctive opportunities for research, off-campus study and internships, safety and friendliness make us a very good choice for almost all students.
Choose well and wisely, and remember that there are many excellent college options available. It's not the case that there is a single 'dream college' out there, I'd argue, and that if you don't get into that one college, your college hopes are dashed. Choose your college, and when it chooses you back – give your undergraduate experience your all! The more you embrace the experience, the more engaged you are, the more you commit yourself to your education and do the best you can in all the ways you can, the better the result and the more rewarding the experience.
With gratitute to CIS for its superb overview of information for international students!

303 Interviews Gov. Hickenlooper on Safe Routes to Schools
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Heatherwood Elementary in Boulder has recently won the James L. Oberstar Safe Routes to School Award for their efforts in getting more kids walking and biking to school. Only one elementary school in the US wins it every year and this year it returns to Boulder, Bear Creek Elementary won it in 2008.
The James Oberstar Award
The James L. Oberstar Safe Routes to School Award is given annually for outstanding achievement in implementing a Safe Routes to School program in the United States. The award is named for James L. Oberstar, former chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee (2007-2011) and former U.S. Representative for Minnesota's 8th Congressional District (1975-2011), to honor his dedication to American schoolchildren as the pioneer for the federal Safe Routes to School Program. Mr. Oberstar sponsored the Safe Routes to School legislation that strives to create safe settings to enable more children and parents to walk and
bicycle to school.
In some ways Heatherwood had the perfect setup to succeed, with 90% of its students living within 2 miles of the school, with an active community where many parents are avid athletes, and it's in a community with wide streets and sidewalks. Yet in some ways it is no different than any other car-centric suburban or urban school. It has a rural commuter highway that bisects the community leaving only the extremely brave to cross it even with their parents. But with a grant from Safe Routes to Schools and some hard work by Boulder County officials, the bisected community has been joined by a new cross walk along with other safety infrastructure. With these safety improvements and an active campaign of encouraging biking and walking, Heatherwood has increased its number of children who regularly walk and bike to school from 12% to 43%, in three short years. Hopefully Heatherwood can serve as an example to other schools and communities that it is possible to reclaim neighborhoods to a walking and biking lifestyle.

Here are answers to some common questions about using a Windows Media Center Extender.
To learn how to set up and use an Extender, see Set up a Windows Media Center Extender
and Use a Windows Media Center Extender.
A Media Center Extender is a standalone device that you can purchase at many consumer electronics stores and online retailers. By connecting an Extender to a wired or wireless home network, you can stream media from your main computer to your Extender.
With a Media Center Extender, you can:
Listen to music. Browse through and play the music stored on your computer.
Look at photos. Play a dynamic slide show of your favorite photos, and add some background music to set the mood.
Watch videos. Play home videos that you've recorded with your digital video (DV) camera or downloaded from the web.
Watch or record live TV. You can watch live TV, automatically record your favorite TV shows, and much more.
There are a wide variety of Extenders available for purchase today. Some are simply Extenders, while others combine Extender functionality with familiar devices (such as DVD players). One popular Extender solution is the Xbox 360, which includes built-in Media Center Extender functionality.
If you want to watch and record live TV using an Extender, you must have a TV tuner connected to or installed in your computer. If your computer didn't come with a TV tuner, you might be able to add one. For more information, see Get help for your TV tuner or contact your computer manufacturer.
If you have an Extender that worked with Windows Vista, it should work with Windows 7. For example, the Xbox 360, which includes built-in Media Center Extender functionality, will work with Windows 7.
Older Extender models that were developed for use with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 will not work with Windows 7. Be sure to read the fine print on the Extender box before making a purchase.
Connection problems can occur while you're setting up an Extender, or after the Extender was successfully set up. Here are some possible solutions to Extender connection problems:
If you're having connection problems when using an Xbox 360 as an Extender, see the Connection Issues article on the Microsoft website.
Try restarting your computer, your Extender, and your network hub, router, or switch.
If the only firewall running on your computer is Windows Firewall, make sure that the Media Center Extenders check box is selected in the Windows Firewall settings. To learn how to change Windows Firewall settings, see Allow a program to communicate through Windows Firewall.
If you're using a firewall other than Windows Firewall, you might need to manually configure the firewall's settings for your Extender to work properly. To learn how to do this, see Tips for solving setup problems with Windows Media Center Extenders.
You might be prompted for a user name and password. Make sure that you know the user name and password for an account that has administrative privileges on your computer.
Make sure that both your Extender and your computer are turned on. Also, make sure that the computer is not in Hibernate or Sleep mode.
If you're using a wired connection, make sure that the Ethernet cable is plugged into the Ethernet port on your Extender.
Try connecting your Extender directly to your computer using a regular Ethernet cable. If the Extender can connect to your computer, then the problem might be with the router, hub, or switch, and the settings on them. If your Extender and your computer still can't connect, the problem might still be associated with a setting on your router, hub, or switch, but in conjunction with a firewall setting on your computer. For more information about changing router and firewall settings to work with your Extender, see Tips for solving setup problems with Windows Media Center Extenders.
If your computer is joined to a domain, some network domain policies might be set that prevent Extenders from connecting to your computer. If your computer is connected to a domain, you can try removing the computer from the domain, and then go through Extender Setup again. For more information about domains, search Windows Help and Support for "domain."
Make sure that both your computer and your Extender are connected to the same router. This ensures that they're connected to the same network.
If your Extender is connected to the network using a wireless connection, make sure that it's within range of the wireless access point or router with as few obstructions as possible between the Extender and the access point. For more information about troubleshooting low wireless signal problems, see Why is my wireless signal strength so low?
If your wireless network uses a security key, verify that you have the correct network security key for the type of wireless network security method that your network uses. For more information about the different wireless network security methods, see What are the different wireless network security methods?
Here are some reasons why a file might not play on your Extender:
Your Extender doesn't have the right codec. Media Center in Windows 7 is compatible with most audio and video file types, but different Extender devices have different capabilities in regards to what types of files they support. For example, if you installed a codec so you could play certain file on your Windows 7 computer, that doesn't mean the file will play on your Extender.
Depending on which model of Extender you have, there might be an update available from the device manufacturer that allows you to play some newer file formats. For more information, visit the device manufacturer's website.
If you're using an Xbox 360 as an Extender, you'll need to do two things to play some of the newer file formats (such as the AAC file format):
Install the most recent system updates for your Xbox 360. To learn how to do this, see Get Updates for Your Xbox 360 Console
on the Xbox.com website.
Install the Optional Media Update for your Xbox 360. To learn how, see the Optional Media Update article
on Xbox.com website.
For general information about supported file types in Media Center, see File types supported by Windows Media Center
and Playing videos in Windows Media Center: frequently asked questions.
The media you're trying to play is protected using digital rights management (DRM). If your Extender is too far from your computer, playback of media that's protected using DRM might fail. This is because certain types of DRM are set to block playback if the data is streamed too far from the host computer.
Extenders will play most types of protected content. However, they will not be able to play media downloaded from iTunes. For more information about DRM, see Windows Media Player DRM: frequently asked questions.
If you're using a wireless network, verify that there's enough network bandwidth. You can test your wired or wireless network bandwidth by using the Network Tuner in Media Center.
Turn on your Extender.
On the start screen on your Extender, scroll to Tasks, and then select Tune network.
On the Network Tuner screen, follow the instructions to determine if there is enough available bandwidth on your home network to run your Extender.
If the available bandwidth on your wireless network is low, consider the following solutions:
Use a wired network connection to connect your Extender to your computer. Using a wired connection usually results in a faster connection speed compared to using a wireless network connection.
If you are using a wireless network and using a wired network connection isn't a viable option for you, consider upgrading your wireless network to use a faster wireless network connection. For a list of different wireless networks, as well as pros and cons of the different types of wireless networks, see What you need to set up a home network.
For more information about improving your network connection when using an Extender, see Optimize your home network for Windows Media Center Extenders.
It might be because you don't have enough available network bandwidth to run the Extender. For possible solutions, see the "Why does the Network Issue notification often appear when I use my Extender?" section in this article.
It might also be because your computer is running low on available system resources. To determine if your computer has enough available system resources, see See details about your computer's performance using Task Manager.
When using an Extender, try to avoid performing tasks on the computer that use a lot of computer system resources. For example, avoid running a backup on your computer or editing and watching video when using an Extender.
An Extender can lose its connection to the computer for a variety of reasons. Here are some reasons why this happens and some possible solutions for the problem:
The Extender might not be able to connect because your computer is either turned off, in Sleep mode, or in Hibernate mode. For more information, see Sleep and hibernation: frequently asked questions.
The Extender might be having trouble connecting to the network. Make sure your network and computer are running properly. If you're still having trouble, try restarting the Windows Media Center computer, the Media Center Extender, and your network hub, router, or switch.
If you see a message saying that a valid IP address was not found, it means that your Extender couldn't acquire a valid Internet Protocol (IP) address and that the connection with your computer failed. To correct this problem, check your network settings and your network router, hub, or switch. Also, you can try restarting your Extender and your computer.

Go to the Microsoft Help and Support site and search for "Media Center Extender."
Go to the Windows Media Center page on the Microsoft website. This article provides additional information about Media Center and Extenders.
If you encounter errors when using an Extender, you can go open the Event Viewer in Windows and look for errors associated with Windows Media Center and your Extender. After locating the error in Event Viewer, double-click it to get more information about why it occurred.
For more information about opening and using Event Viewer, see Open Event Viewer.
Check out the The Green Button, a Media Center community site with a lot of information about Extenders.

Obtaining a prestigious fellowship can be a life-changing experience for students. It opens up educational and professional opportunities that are unavailable through other means, and grants a distinction that can transform a student's education and career. Therefore, we strongly encourage students to consider pursuing fellowships during their graduate studies at Marquette.
The most prestigious fellowships are generally the most desirable, and consequently also the most competitive. Nonetheless, numerous Marquette students have competed successfully for even the most prestigious fellowships. For example, Marquette graduate students recently obtained highly competitive fellowships from the National Science Foundation, the American Heart Association, the Veterans Administration, and the Thomas Pickering Foreign Affairs Fellowship program.
Being successful with a fellowship application requires careful planning and preparation. When students begin exploring fellowship opportunities, they will quickly notice that most fellowships require specific types of background and qualifications. Therefore, students need to determine which fellowships match their interests and qualifications.
To get started, we recommend that students visit the following pages.

Chief Timothy Anderson of the East Bay Regional Parks District Police Department said Sunday in a statement that the 23-year-old mother from San Jose had a history of depression and appeared to have self-inflicted knife wounds on her wrist.
Police were called Saturday on reports of a damaged Honda sedan in the Del Valle Regional Park east of San Francisco. They found the car abandoned with the engine running and an empty child's seat.
Anderson says they were about to tow the car when the woman approached them holding her lifeless baby.
Investigators said they found a knife in the area.
The woman remains in jail on suspicion of murder.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A mother was arrested Saturday on suspicion murder after she allegedly stabbed her 7-month-old son to death at a Northern California park, authorities said.
Officers responding to reports of a woman ramming her car into a rock wall at Del Valle Regional Park east of San Francisco found an empty and damaged Honda Civic with a baby seat in the back. When they searched the park, they saw the woman carrying a baby with multiple stab wounds, East Bay Regional Park District police Chief Timothy Anderson said.
"This is an extremely shocking case for us," Anderson said.
The mother also had what appeared to be self-inflicted injuries, he said.
A pocket knife was found at the scene.
The woman in her early 20s was arrested on suspicion of murder. Her name was not immediately released and was expected to be booked into jail Saturday night.
Anderson told reporters she may have suffered from depression.
The stabbing occurred in a remote part of Camp Arroyo, the site of a popular children's camp inside the 4,400-acre park south of Livermore, a suburb that's about 45 miles east of San Francisco.

ZF-5078: Zend_Amf does not properly serialize Zend_Amf_Value_ByteArray instances
In attempting to switch from AMFPHP to Zend_Amf, I ran across the following issue:
The AMF3 encoding doesn't seem to be correct for ByteArray instances. When returning a Zend_Amf_Value_ByteArray instance, the serializer attempts to pass the instance to its writeString method, which attempts to treat it as a simple string, causing php to send the incorrect data as well as emit a notice as follows:
bq. Notice: Object of class Zend_Amf_Value_ByteArray to string conversion
One way to avoid this and properly return the binary data to the server is to modify line 81 of Zend\Amf\Parse\Amf3\Serializer.php to read:
bq. $this->writeString($data instanceof Zend_Amf_Value_ByteArray ? $data->getData() : $data);
Added support for Zend_Amf_Value_ByteArray::getData into the serialization process.
