Through the Center for Energy and Environmental Law (CEEL), students at UConn School of Law have access to rich educational experiences in the growing fields of energy and environmental law. CEEL is on the vanguard of environmental and energy education—recognizing these disciplines must be combined in study and in preparing our students.
Opportunities for students include unparalleled classroom learning — in courses ranging from International Environmental Law to Land Use, Energy Law to Climate Law — that may include, at the student's discretion, the chance to work one-on-one with a member of the CEEL faculty to complete a major writing project. Students may also opt to engage in real-world, hands-on clinical training, through the CEEL externship clinic, externships with federal agencies or nationally-recognized nonprofit organizations through the Semester in DC program, and a special externship program with the State of Connecticut's executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Through these opportunities, CEEL provides students with a chance to focus on the areas that most engage and excite them.
Students have the opportunity to pursue a Certificate in Energy and Environmental Law by creating an individualized curriculum of energy and environmental course work, as well as one of the following: an advanced writing project, a clinic, or an externship with an appropriate law firm, energy company, utility, regulatory or quasi-public agency, or public interest organization. Through the certificate program, students develop substantive knowledge in energy and environmental law, as well as strengthen their analytical, lawyering, legal research, and writing skills.

*Climate Law may be used to satisfy either the Environmental Law or the Energy Law requirement. It may not be used to satisfy both requirements. The topic for the Climate Law research paper must reflect the discipline area to which the course is being applied.
Administrative Law
This course explores the process by which power is exercised by federal government agencies in the United States, and the mechanisms through which that exercise of power is guided and constrained.
Advanced Energy Writing Seminar
Environmental, economic, social and security concerns are converging in the field of energy law and policy. Finding a way to more sustainably power societies around the globe may be one of the biggest challenges of our time, and will require creative thinking and new solutions. This course provides students with the research, writing, analytical and presentation skills necessary to meaningfully contribute in any energy-related environment, whether that be a government agency, law firm, public interest organization, corporation or utility.
CEEL Externship Clinic
This clinic is offered through the Center for Energy and Environmental Law (CEEL). Students work as policy interns for the Legislative Environment Committee, the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, or the regulated public utilities. This externship clinic requires a minimum of (12) placement hours work per week. A required seminar class also meets approximately twice per month either in class meetings or for one-on-one discussion of the substantive law and your experience.
Depending on placement, suggested preparation includes: Environmental Law (Law 7650) or Administrative Law (Law 7600) or Energy Law (Law 7811). Enrollment is limited and instructor permission is required. Credits are ungraded.
Climate Law
This course studies changes in law and policy ranging from the Clean Air Act and the Kyoto Protocol, to the law of nuisance, land use, securities regulation, and energy. The readings are organized chronologically, beginning with a thorough review of the Clean Air Act, through the successful cap and trade systems for sulfur-dioxide, to the Kyoto Protocol, Massachusetts v. EPA, the current litigation making its way through the federal system, and the area of local and state laws and initiatives that have been enacted over the last several years. Guest speakers in climatology, energy law, and climate practice will, schedules permitting, supplement the syllabus.
Clinic: Environmental Law
This clinic is offered through the Connecticut Fund for the Environment (CFE), the premier non-profit public-interest legal advocate for Connecticut's environment. Students work directly with CFE attorneys on CFE matters pending before administrative agencies, courts and the legislature. Clinical assignments are performed at CFE's office in New Haven, CT. An on campus bi-weekly, (every two weeks) seminar class taught by CFE attorneys and visiting experts focuses on current issues in Connecticut environmental law as well as public interest legal advocacy approaches to such issues. This year long clinic requires a minimum of 10 clinical work per week. Pre or co requisite: Environmental Law (Law 650) or Administrative Law (Law 600).
Clinic: Energy and Environmental Law Practice
This course focuses on developing students' lawyering skills, judgment and professional responsibility, as well as deepening their understanding of environmental law and practice. Under the supervision of lawyers at the Connecticut Urban Legal Initiative, Inc., students provide legal services to clients in need of representation in environmental matters, and who are not otherwise represented by the private bar. Weekly seminars explore various practice elements including: federal and state causes of action, pleadings and proof of facts; adjudications before the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection and the Connecticut Siting Council; regulatory compliance issues; investigation and remediation strategies for environmentally impaired property; and structuring the purchase, sale, financing and leasing of so-called "Brownfields" property. Depending on the needs of the clients in a given semester, related student experiences are likely to include: (1) evaluation of potential client matters and review of possible conflicts of interest; (2) interviewing and interaction with clients; (3) addressing ethical, tactical, legal and business issues that emerge in the course of representation; and (4) drafting documents such as legal memoranda, client letters and pleadings in administrative proceedings.
Energy Regulation and Policy
Finding a way to more sustainably power societies around the globe may be one of the biggest challenges of our time. Focusing on the regulation and design of energy systems (i.e., the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity) and markets, this course provides an introduction to the economic, social, environmental and policy issues raised by the current systems of energy use. This course examines the trade-offs and uncertainties inherent in evaluating and choosing different energy options and provide a framework for developing and assessing sustainable policy and regulatory solutions. (Formerly Offered as: Energy and Sustainability)
Energy Law
Content varies with the interests of those enrolled and the professor. The course emphasizes oil and gas law. Within that field, it considers the economics of the industry, including its environmental impact; its international aspects, including political concerns and its maritime aspects; i.e., offshore drilling and transportation. The broader context will include alternative sources of energy, as well as, more broadly still, the nature of energy, from its cosmological to its cellular and nuclear forms.
Environmental and Toxic Torts
This course examines selected topics in the area of environmental and toxic tort litigation. These topics include, as time permits: i) federal regulation of toxic materials, e.g. CERCLA, RCRA and TOSCA; ii) common law causes of action, e.g. trespass, nuisance, abnormally dangerous activities, strict products liability, market share and other forms of collective liability; iii) procedural issues in toxic tort litigation; iv) statutory and common law defenses, including statute of limitations and lack of causation; v) use of expert testimony; vi) compensatory and punitive damages, including entitlement to attorneys' fees and use of structured settlements; vii) collateral insurance issues in environmental and toxic tort cases; and viii) selected specific toxic torts problems, e.g. acid rain, agent orange, interstate air pollution, asbestos and lead pollution, mold, pesticides and tobacco products.
Environmental/Land Use
This course prepares students to both effectively advise their clients about environmental matters in a land use context and to present effective environmental arguments in a land use proceeding. Called the forgotten agenda of the environmental movement, land use law controls thousands of daily decisions, whose cumulative impact is only recently understood as one of the most significant factors affecting our environment. This course arms land use and environmental attorneys with the tools to advocate environmental issues in the land use context by exploring the growing body of law and legislative tools that recognize the inherent connection between the land use and environmental laws. Students will be required to participate in several in-class simulations, attend a municipal zoning hearing, and write a paper relevant to the topic. Environmental Law (650) or Land Use Controls (721) are pre or co-requisites.
Environmental Law
This course is an introduction to the law of environmental protection, with an emphasis on air and water pollution as well as the control of toxic substances and toxic wastes. It examines the different strategies for environmental protection, including public regulation, common law doctrines, and economic incentives such as taxes and subsidies. The course considers the roles of legislative, administrative and executive bodies (local, state and federal) and judicial review of their actions, including federal and state administrative procedures relevant to protecting the environment and intergovernmental problems of control.
Environmental Law of the EU
This course is an introduction to European environmental law. The focus is on the relationship between free trade and environmental policy as well as the basic environmental principles that form the basis of European environmental law and policy (such as the precautionary principle). Several highly topical issues will be addressed, such as climate change law, natural resources law, water law, and air quality law.
International Environmental Law (Formerly Offered as: Globalization and the Environment)
Mankind has known for over fifty years that it is capable of destroying the planet through war. What we have learned in the last thirty years is that productive and peaceful human behavior is also capable of ravaging the planet: depleting the planet's ozone shield, warming the climate, flooding coastal habitats, poisoning humans and animals through exposure to toxic compounds, depleting fisheries and forests, obliterating indigenous cultures, and decimating the global heritage of biodiversity. These ailments are caused, in part, by the ever-expanding scale, and toxicity, of production by private companies. These harms are also caused, indirectly, by trans-national rules which promote the mobility of goods and capital, thereby deterring and impeding strict national and local regulation of companies. Devastating environmental impacts thus form a large part of what critics have in mind when they complain of the evils of 'globalization.' There are two broad approaches the world might adopt to respond to such evils. One is to try to reverse the historic trend towards bigness and return to small scale production marketed at the local level and regulated by local jurisdictions. This will never happen, for the simple reason that competition, economies of scale, free trade, and mobile capital have also brought with them economic benefits which most governments, and many people, value even more than they fear the adverse consequences of globalization. This leaves the other approach, which is to develop a globalized regime of regulation that is up to the challenge of controlling globalized capital. This course is about mankind's efforts to implement the second solution in the environmental realm, by developing a truly global regime of treaties and regulations which seeks to control the pollution, the resource depletion and the ecological degradation that has hitherto accompanied globalized trade and commerce. We will study the origins, design, interpretation, achievements, and limitations of the great treaties that have joined nations in combating common problems facing the planet: the ozone treaty, climate change treaty, biodiversity treaty, a series of international fisheries treaties, and the treaty on control of persistent organic compounds. We also will examine the conflicts that have arisen between the goals of environmental protection embodied in such treaties, and the goals of free trade and investment pursued by the World Trade Organization and other free trade agreements. Students will be invited to explore ways to reconcile these conflicts in ways that promote both prosperity and environmental protection.
Land Use
This course will evaluate the means 'formal/legal and informal/non-legal' by which landowners, developers, architects, planners, neighbors, private organizations, and government may shape the use of land. Close attention will be paid to: the tension between regulation and landowners' rights; aesthetic controls and historic preservation; planning concepts; constitutional issues; building codes; environmental concerns; and the role of markets. A background in property law is helpful but not required.
Natural Resources Law
This course examines the law governing protection and use of natural resources such as water, wildlife and biodiversity, fish and other marine resources, minerals, wetlands, forests, parks and other public lands, and coastal areas. A number of different regulatory and other legal tools are available to manage and preserve natural resources and the course will survey a variety of these, including common law property rights, public regulation, public ownership, as well as the use of economic incentives such as taxes and subsidies. The National Environmental Policy Act's requirement of environmental impact assessment by federal agencies will be covered. The course will consider specific natural resources in the context of the larger ecosystems in which each exists.
Renewable Energy and Green Building Law: Faculty Directed Reading Seminar
This seminar involves participation in a reading group led by a full time faculty member. A minimum of three students and a maximum of eight students is allowed. The seminar may be on any subject of mutual interest to the faculty member and students. Students may initiate a reading seminar by approaching a faculty member or a faculty member may initiate a reading seminar by approaching a group of students or by listing the seminar as a course during registration. The reading seminar will meet for at least one hour per week, and can be scheduled in the alternative to meet on an every other week basis for two hour sessions. Students will be expected to do reading for the seminar which equals one substantial law review article every week, or a book every other week. One ten-page reflection paper is required. Students are limited to one reading seminar per semester, and may enroll in different seminars again in subsequent semesters. Grading is on a pass/fail basis.
Renewable Energy Law
This course examines renewable energy projects and the legal and political environment in which they are financed and developed in the United States. Topics include the role of renewable energy projects in a restructured and competitive energy industry and the design of renewable portfolio standards. The use of other policy instruments, such as subsidies, to encourage the development of renewable energy projects, and the politics of siting and financing such projects, will also be considered.

Oil wells next door to Theodore Roosevelt's historic Badlands ranch? XTO Energy, a subsidiary of ExxonMobile Corp....
I really don't see why folks have a problem with it.
After all the country is in favor of killing kids and not having ID to vote, and sex before marriage and all the rest of the things that drag this country to the ground so why not destroy our historical sights too.
Many Dems would say we are just too old fashioned and that we should get with the current generation..
So tear down the ranch and proceed with the future..
This is sarcasm for those of you who flip out about now.

I am so sad that the oil wells are spoiling the "untouched" view in ND. I know it is progress but I can't help but feel sad about what is gone. I also dislike the look of all those ugly windmills on the way to Bismarck. I guess it is progress but they are ugly and that is not disputable.

I bet ol Teddy would have loved an oil well outside his door. The state of ND issues the permits to drill so don't blame the oil companies where they are drilling. If the state don't want them there they don't issue a permit, that's to simple isn't it.

I've been eating healthy for at least 25 years. As soon as I started giving birth to people, I realized I needed to be much more responsible about my eating habits (and theirs, at least at first). I cut waaay down on red meat. I made all kinds of fabulous vegetarian meals for dinners each night. I never put salt on anything.
When I moved up here to Northeastern Pennsylvania, I started really living the life. 100 ounces of water every day. Plenty of leafy greens. Actually, there's a guy (Dr. Dan Golaszewski, www.nepadrdan.com) who has a show on our sister station, WILK, that I listen to religously. He has a mnemonic for the healthiest foods: GOMBBS, which stands for greens, onions, mushrooms, beans, something else starting with "b" that I can't remember, and seeds. I eat almonds and steel cut oats. Raw, local honey (I mean local, I could practically walk to their house), raw milk, free range eggs. And it takes me, like, a month to get through a dozen eggs. Only bake with gluten free flour, (mixed with a little whole grain spelt flour). As most of you know who read this blog I grow tons of my own food. Broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, beets, sweet potatoes (that didn't work out so well), corn, peas, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, onions, garlic, zucchini, butternet squash, pumpkin, melons, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, celery. Even edamame, but this didn't work out too well either. Anyhow, all this means I also eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. All organic, of course.
Using this strategy I managed to lose, like, 35 pounds year before last. Well, now most of it is back, because I just stopped, you know, controlling my intake, so to speak. But I still manage to eat mostly healthy stuff, tempeh, white meat chicken, and when I have to eat grains they are only whole grain. Don't eat rice or pasta pretty much ever. I even buy that Ezekiel bread that is made from sprouted grains.
I quit smoking 30 years ago. I stopped drinking 32 years ago.
And what did I get for this virtuosity? High blood pressure and high cholesterol.
That's right, I'm just like everyone else. Everyone else that's been drinking soda pop all their lives, and wolfing down Doritos, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets made of pink slime. Not to imply that I never scarf down a bag o' chips, but it's rare.
This is why I'm blaming my mother and her Irish family. Poor genetic material.

Some things I've been thinking about for awhile
July 14, 2011
Normally, we dedicate an entire column or editorial to one topic. Not this week. Unless I wanted to delve into the debt ceiling debate (which I am too frustrated to even discuss right now) none of the other things I have had on my mind, while important, can fill the entire editorial space. So, here are some things I've been thinking about lately in no particular order.
click for larger version
Some of us have been waiting a lifetime for this
January 20, 2011
Although I enjoy almost all sports, I don't typically use this column to talk about those things. An editorial should be about important national topics such as our more than $14 trillion national debt, increasing health care costs and the use of politics by some to make excuses or try to explain why an insane man shot people at an Arizona grocery store. An editorial typically should be an opinion about a local issue such as the rescue and fire services disagreement between Geneva Township and the Lake Geneva Fire Department or whether the Walworth County District Attorney's Office should have filed charges against Lake Geneva city staff for mismanagement.

Everything you want to know about the newspaper, more

I know you want to learn all about fonts, right? Be honest. Are you sure, now?Dont be silly, Im not going to bore you with those types of details. But seriously, the Regional News is embarking on a redesign of the newspaper and website. Weve been working on these improvements for several weeks now. An unveiling of the new-look Regional News is a few weeks away and the website is being improved weekly. Make sure to check it out at www.lakegenevanews.net.
Viva the differences what July 4th really means
June 30, 2011
Can you write a column about July 4th? Editor Lisa Seiser said. I dont want to write the same thing I wrote last year ... and the year before.Actually, she wasnt giving herself enough credit. There were differences. Last year, for instance, the editorial ran horizontally. The year before it ran vertically. The headlines were different. And one had a picture with it; the other one didnt.Its true though that they were both similar in that she wrote about the Declaration of Independence and the remarkable freedoms it bestowed on us.
Kenosha, we have a problem a serious problem
June 23, 2011
Unless you work in the office at the Regional News or the Kenosha News, you dont know that there almost wasnt a newspaper last Wednesday.The streak of the paper coming out on time 139 years long almost came to an end.Yes, really, no paper. Well, maybe it wouldnt have been that disastrous. More likely only a day or two late, but that would have been bad enough.
Can someone please read my blog ...
June 16, 2011
I have a testimonial to share.Just went through your blogs. They are great!Thats a very nice commentary on the blogs Ive been writing the last two months. Never mind that this thoughtful vote of confidence came from my daughter.
We need know the facts to solve Americas problems
June 09, 2011
All politicians embellish and exaggerate to make their ideas and opinions sound and look better than those who oppose them. Many politicians go a step further and flat out lie.But, the problem is facts should be facts and there should be no question about those. However, it seems as though in the political arena we now find ourselves, the blur has become greater between facts, ideas and commentary.And none of this does any good to solve the problems we must address in America.

Memorial Day just not the same
May 26, 2011
As Memorial Day approaches, theres something missing I can feel it. Something is just not right.Maybe its less something than someone.During my years as editor of the Regional News, to me, more than anyone, Ray Mellien signified Memorial Day. Its probably my memories of him in his uniform marching or him being one of the special detail for the 21-gun salute so many times at ceremonies and events in the area. It also is because every year, about three weeks prior to Memorial Day, he would stop in at the newspaper office, give me a great smile and hand me the mock up of the American Legion Memorial Day program, often with his handwritten notes on the schedule for the days ceremony.
City skate park project decision all about money
May 19, 2011
I find myself in an awkward position on this issue.Being in favor of limited government at all levels doesnt match up with what Im about to say.The city of Lake Geneva should spend up to $300,000 of already collected Tax Incremental Financing District money to design, build and maintain a new skate/BMX park at Dunn Field behind Eastview Elementary School.
How about a civilized, thoughtful economy debate
May 12, 2011
The pendulum may be swinging back.A few weeks ago I wrote a column saying Wisconsins own Paul Ryan, the poster boy for the GOP budget proposals, may be in line to be president some day. I stand by that prediction.However, over the last few weeks the Democrats have taken the offensive. Obama, having sat on his hands and let the Republicans take the initiative on budget proposals, has apparently listened to his advisers and finally jumped into the fray.

When ancient architects completed construction on the Great Pyramid at Giza, they left behind the greatest riddle of the engineering worldhow did builders lift limestone blocks weighing an average of two and a half tons 480 feet up onto the top of the Pyramid? For centuries, adventurers and Egyptologists have crawled through every passageway and chamber of the Pyramid, measuring and collecting data in an attempt to determine how it was built.
For the first time, a revolutionary theory argues that the answer may be inside the Pyramid. National Geographic follows renowned experts as they find surprising evidence to support this intriguing new idea.

The Winter Season Transition
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
By Brenda Moczygemba ToughGirl Cycling Team
The cold weather is well on its way and some of us begin to wonder, "What am I going to do now?" Cyclocross season will soon taper off, leaving a barren race calendar until spring. However unhappy you may be when the snow flies, I feel the winter season is an important transition in every cyclists' life. It is beneficial to take this time to reflect, recharge, and make time for friends and family that can fall by the wayside when weekends are filled with race travel and training.
First things first, you spent a lot of time this season training, traveling, and racing. Next season, you want to make sure you build and learn from those very experiences. Take a half-hour or so writing down what worked and what didn't -- what your goals were and if and how you accomplished them. For example, you may have raced your first race at the Yeti Beti Bike Bash. What did you do to prepare? What did you eat before and during the race? Did any of these things help your performance? Did you perform better or worse than you had hoped for? Jot down other race prep lists – like things you packed for a 12- or 24-hour mountain bike race. It may seem silly at first. I always think, I'll remember to do this differently next year, yet as I prep for a race weekend months down the road I find myself racking my brain, "What was that thing I needed to remember to do?" By having lists of what worked and what didn't over the 2011 season, you can build on your strengths and train your weaknesses as you head into the 2012 season.
Next, reflecting on how you felt and performed this past season, make goals and a set down a generic schedule for next season. That doesn't mean you jump straight into interval training, but having some goals and a handful of Spring and Summer 2012 races in the back of your mind will help keep you on track and motivated when the snow is blowing sideways and the holiday celebrations have taken the place of race weekends. From your rough schedule, you can start to count backwards to know when to start logging base miles, when to transition back into intervals, and how to reach your goals. The key here is not only to setting goals but to setting yourself up to meet those goals.
Most importantly, use the winter season to mix it up from the norm with a new activity or two -- hiking, skiing, swimming, weight lifting, yoga. In the meanwhile, let's hope for another winter like the last – countless deep powder days in the high country with sunny days and dry trails on the front range. Enjoy!

My first thought was to edit the pattern in the locales XML, but had no success. So my solution isn't appended, in cause of only checking the first char if it matches numbers->symbols->decimal of the locale XML. Adding a pattern didn't work for me.
Thanks in advance,

This is not an issue.
According to CLDR a floating number MUST have a leading digit. This makes "0.99" an valid float, but ".99" not...
This is also true for patterns... the first char must be a digit.
Hello Thomas,
thanks for the reply and for clarification on this issue. I didn't recognized the CLDR point.

Round of applause goes to Empty Stocking Fund's contributors
Published: Monday, January 7, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 6:14 p.m.
Donations trickled in at a slower pace this year for the Empty Stocking Fund, however, the final days of the campaign showed residents reached into their pockets to support their neighbors.
Hundreds of donations were made this year raising a grand total of $29,609.10. The total amount this year fell short of last year's amount of $34,050.53.
The Dispatch thanks everyone who donated to the year's fund. Kudos go to the individuals, couples, organizations, churches and groups that helped families during the holiday season.
"I'd like to thank everyone who made contributions to our Empty Stocking Fund. Even in this challenging economy, with your help, we were able to deliver a wonderful Christmas to many less-fortunate children here in Davidson County," said Steve Skaggs, publisher of The Dispatch.
All amounts of money whether big or small provided a Christmas holiday experience for over 700 families. More than 1,600 children had gifts they may have otherwise not received.
"I think it was a tremendous success," said Melissa Blackburn, secretary and human resources director for the Salvation Army of Davidson County. "There were a lot of families that were truly, truly touched. The community really cares. We are truly grateful they do."
Blackburn was also appreciative of all media outlets that helped bring awareness to the program. She noted that donors were very generous this year. She said several supported their projects like the gifts were going to their own child or family. Blackburn also thanked the volunteers for lending a hand.
"The residents need to know it's their friends and neighbors out there helping them," she said. "We just truly thank everybody from the bottom of our heart. We couldn't do it without them. We're looking forward to the (next) holiday season. Remember us."
The Empty Stocking Fund was started in 1981 by former Dispatch publisher Joe Sink and former executive editor Ralph Simpson.
Donations for the Empty Stocking Fund are accepted all year. Interested donors can send their contributions to The Dispatch, Empty Stocking Fund, P.O. Box 908, Lexington, NC 27293 or deliver it to the office at 30 E. First Ave.
Deneesha Edwards can be reached at 249-3981, ext. 213, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Make these scrumptious Avocado Timbales. We tend to think of avocado as a vegetable, but in fact it's a fruit, a very creamy one that lends itself to desserts. Cooks in Latin America and South Asia use it in shakes and frozen confections, so why not take the sweet route here?
Makes 6 to 8 servings
2 ripe avocados, scooped into chunks
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 14-ounce can coconut milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup sugar
Mango and lime for serving
1. Puree first 5 ingredients in a blender until smooth.
2. Churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Pack into timbale molds or custard cups, and freeze until firm, 6 hours or overnight. Serve with sliced mango and a squeeze of lime.

ZF-5414: Non ASCII characters break the columns when input is UTF-8 encoded
Non ASCII characters break the columns when input is UTF-8 encoded.
The problem is located in the Zend_Text_Table_Column class on line 229. The str_pad() function is used and it is not overloaded by mbstring extension so it fails calculating correctly the string length.
Iconv has to be used instead of mbstring because it's available in default php installations. Mbstring is only allowed to be used when there is no other way.
Jean, can you please submit a test case to demonstrate, how the column breaks?
Test case for the bug
Fixed in r13556 and merged into 1.7 branch with r13557

ZF-3138: Nonces should be unique by Identity Provider.
The isUniqueNonce function doesn't provide a way to pass in the IdP endpoint URL.
According to the spec, nonces shouldn't be unique overall, just by provider. In a high traffic environment it's possible that legitimate nonce collisions could occur, though it will only happen occasionally.
The spec says (11.3):
'To prevent replay attacks, the agent checking the signature keeps track of the nonce values included in positive assertions and never accepts the same value more than once for the same OP Endpoint URL.'
The Zend_OpenId_Consumer_Storage interface needs to be altered to allow for unique nonces by endpoint provider, and the verify function in the consumer should start passing in the endpoint provider.
We don't have a fix for this one, because I was afraid to alter the interface without checking in.
Marking as fixed for next minor release pending merge of changes to release-1.5 branch.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

Dandruff can almost always be controlled, but dandruff treatment may take patience and persistence. In general, daily cleansing with a gentle shampoo to reduce oiliness and skin cell buildup can often help mild dandruff.
When regular shampoos fail, dandruff shampoos you can buy at a drugstore may succeed. But dandruff shampoos aren't all alike, and you may need to experiment until you find one that works for you. If you develop itching, stinging, redness or burning from any product, stop using it. If you develop an allergic reaction, such as a rash, hives or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
Dandruff shampoos are classified according to the medication they contain:
Try using one of these shampoos daily or every other day until your dandruff is controlled; then cut back to two or three times a week, as needed. If one type of shampoo works for a time and then seems to lose its effectiveness, try alternating between two types of dandruff shampoos. Be sure to massage the shampoo into the scalp well and then leave the shampoo on for at least five minutes — this gives the ingredients time to work.
If you've shampooed faithfully for several weeks and there's still a dusting of dandruff on your shoulders, talk to your doctor or dermatologist. You may need a prescription-strength shampoo or treatment with a steroid lotion.

- 1 large tomato, chopped
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Elmatic boldy re-interprets Nas' classic Illmatic with some very impressive production thanks to a Detroit band called Will Sessions.

The following is a reprint from the Whitecaps FC blog and we thank them:
On the Saturday (of the long weekend) morning as the sun beamed down on the Minoru Oval in Richmond Vancouver, eight U16 girls' teams and eight U16 boys' teams arrived to stake their claim for their respective titles. The invite-only tournament consisted of players from the EA Sports BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL), who were eager to show-case their pre-season form. "On behalf of the EA SPORTS BC Soccer Premier League and its participating clubs, I would like to thank adidas Canada for once again offering us the opportunity to be exclusive participants in the adidas Champions Cup," said David Haber, president of the BCSPL. "This event provides our U-16 teams with an ideal competitive environment as they prepare for the fall season of the league, which starts on the weekend of September 15th and 16th." (more…)

A number of people have asked me how in the world I ended up in New York City. Here is the story, to the best of my memory. The entire series of events takes place over three or four weeks, so I will break it up into multiple parts.
Part I. The Call
I had been consulting for right about a year and a half, and things were looking pretty good. Chris and I, under the company name of Gestault Solutions, had managed to architect and implement a complete resource scheduling system for outpatient healthcare centers. We were not without the help and business guidance of Randall, who is perhaps one of the most intelligent and honorable businessmen I will ever meet. I'll be the first to admit, it was an incredible undertaking for such a small team in such a short time, and I while I may wince at a few spots in the codebase, I'm proud to have worked with Chris and Randall on it.

ANAHEIM – A Monsters Inc. pumpkin wears a construction hat. Other pumpkins are engraved with intricate faces, including Sally from "The Nightmare before Christmas." Blue paint coats a version of Ursula from "The Little Mermaid."
Disneyland visitors are finding 25 to 30 decorated pumpkins – not the standard fare found on porches – on display in Frontierland. Guests can watch carvers create new ones.
For the fourth year, Disney has hired five carvers to make these unique pumpkins during the Halloween season. The artists usually work two at a time and complete a pumpkin or two each a day.
A recent day, artist Lori Corral began on a new pumpkin meant to look like Captain Hook standing on a crocodile's open mouth.
She marked up the outside with a red marker, then cut out big chunks on the sides to place on top. With a loop tool normally used for pottery, she scraped off the orange skin.
To get ideas, she thumbs through images of Disney characters: "I work from whatever picture inspires me. I have a vision on a pumpkin."
This year, her favorites come from Pixar's "Brave." On display: one of Merida's profile, another of the three bears and a third spelling out the title in green.
She takes requests, and did a Bambi pumpkin, a crowd favorite.
Orange pumpkins last two weeks or so – although the recent heat has taken a toll. White pumpkins stay good for at least four weeks and can petrify – a year-old Ichabod Crane carving is still on view.
Carvers have tricks to preserve their work: sprays of Lysol and a thin coating of water and Elmer's glue.
"They challenge each other to be better and better each time they come back," said Glenn Kelman, a senior show director. "They've really gotten to be some of the most amazing pumpkin carvers."

The Curious Word 'Honor'
Scott Horton
Three generations of American statesmen of both political parties constructed a powerful alliance. With this alliance, America prevailed in her greatest challenge, the Cold War, and with it, America emerged just fifteen years ago as the world's paramount power. This power brought with it still greater responsibility. Our Government has assumed a conscious mantle of leadership, but the manner in which it has sought to pursue a new and highly controversial war has not always done us credit. As the London Times wrote in a powerful editorial on Sunday, one decision in particular has betrayed the vision of the Founding Fathers and the common bond of the English-speaking peoples. It is the decision to haul out of the armory of shame the old tool of royal prerogative, torture.
Have I missed something? I haven't seen any evidence that the U.S. has tortured anyone. I've seen strong assurances that the U.S. absolutely does not use torture. And I've seen stories that a few guards abused prisoners and were prosecuted for it. I've also seen stories that the liberal left and left-leaning news media make things up to suit their purposes. So I need concrete evidence.
'The liberal left" and "left-leaning news media". That's what passes for political discourse in America today. And these ignoramuses have the vote. God help us. Thank you for your excellent article.
Sometimes honor is in the eye of the beholder. Consider the expression "honor among thieves." Perhaps there are profit centers surrounding torture. Certainly there are profit centers among thieves. Look at the political scandals in Washington, DC; look at the wagons circling. Perhaps the "honor" displayed by their associates concerning the culprits has as its profit center self preservation. No one shows "honor" by falling on one's sword any more. Delay, Delay, Delay, and the problem may go away, at least until after the next election.
The truth is that some people believe in torture. The reasons may vary, but, they believe it is useful.
As evidence, I offer the first two comments. The first cheerfully ignores the flood of stories about the US outsourcing torture and Sec. Rice's convoluted evasion about the issue. The second blames the "left leaning media" for talking about it. Hint: Fox and the Wash Times talked about it too.
Neither will discuss "honor", the topic under discussion, and how to honorably torture.
Honor is irrelevant for an Administration and electorate that do not belive in truth as a basis for governance. Honor is hardly an issue for a religious right which purports to believe in God, but forgets the Ten Commandments and is willing to kill for no reason but to exert power and political control at home. This is democracy - people were given a choice between a President who was a war veteran and one who idled his time at home under false pretexts. O tempora, O mores.
I think this series of comments shows how the torture debate continues to be "out of stasis," in the sense that, the two sides are arguing past each other.
Horton's post seems to me to be an argument that some of our leaders and soldiers, and some people acting as agents of our government, have behaved towards detained persons dishonorably. Horton calls those actions torture, and defines honor by drawing on the decision of the Judicial Committee of the British House of Lords, and on the thoughts of a leading military ethicist who recently, apparently, committed suicide.
A Christian Prophet does not directly respond to that argument from Horton. He does not say, for example, "None of the evidence I've seen so far makes me concerned about whether our soldiers and agents are behaving honorably. Everything I've seen seems honorable."
Instead, he sidesteps the substance of the argument by re-defining terms, saying that the behavior that Horton is referring to does not fit the definition of "torture." And by insinuating that reports of any such behavior coming close to fitting into the definition "torture" were made up by the liberal media and lefties.
Eric responds by calling A Christian Prophet an ignoramus because of the insinuation that the reports of the behavior were biased or false.
Like Eric, I liked the original post a lot. It resonates with me. But that's because I agree with it.
But I agree so strongly, and I believe the real issue to be so important, that I don't want to sweep aside a comment like A Christian Prophet's as ignorant. Instead, I want to realign the debate. Okay, so we don't call it torture; whatever we call it, given what we know about what happened -- e.g., the pictures and testimony coming out of Abu Ghraib -- is that the sort of behavior we want our government to engage in? Is that honorable behavior? If you think so, why? Why, for example, don't the arguments presented in the British decision persuade A Christian Prophet?
"Honor" is a little bit like "kosher," and ancient Jewish law says you eat the pig if your life's at stake, not to mention that a little bit of pig in the soup (2%) is just fine. That said, "no pig" is the law and so should be "no torture."

You must learn to skip words like I do.
skipping words isnt speed reading. its skimming.
is there really a difference if you still understand the whole sentence.
like what...
When I read I just get the sentence or the meaning of the sentence. I never notice words or punctuation unless they're wrong, or missing, in which case the sentence doesn't make sense anyway.You just don't notice details after a while.

do you mean to say that there is no voice in your head vocalizing what youre reading?
Personally, my 'inside voice' only reads words that are four letters or bigger. That's what I meant by skipping words.

Using high concentrations of salt to melt snow and ice on roads and driveways can upset the ecological balance of the earth. As we gain a better understanding of this issue, we are seeking out "alternative" salting techniques. Using sand in place of salt, or mixes which contain a lower percentage of salt are just a few of the options. But, very few alternative salting techniques work as effectively as salting does. Stay tuned for WarmlyYours solution…
Salt works well because as it dissolves, heat is released which melts snow and ice. Sand provides traction which increases our ability to walk and drive safely, but it will not melt snow. Deicing mixers do melt snow and ice but in order to be effective, the mix must contain a higher concentration of salt. So, in the end, how much are we really sparing the environment and what else is being substituted for salt instead? Oftentimes, there are also dyes and other questionable substances in deicing mixes that make them a less attractive solution.
Many countries are currently attempting to address this issue. For instance, in America, there is an effort to cut down on the amount of salt used for each snowfall. In Germany, the practice of wetting the salt before adding it has helped cut down on the amount of salt used. I've even read a few articles that have recommended planting salt resistive plants around the edges of areas affected by salt usage.
WarmlyYours offers another solution now: radiantly heated driveways, walkways, and stairs. Snow melting cables or mats are installed underneath the asphalt or concrete. A sensor can be used to detect precipitation and temperature which in turn activates the snow melting system, melting the snow as it falls. This makes for a much safer walkway or driveway and no harsh chemicals are used in the process. However, just like with any deicing system there will always be pros and cons. Though you will be able to melt the snow without the use of salt, the system does run on electricity and will result in an increase in electricity usage. If used wisely though, the additional cost will be well worth it!
Ultimately, the decision about how to remove snow and ice is a personal one that homeowners and business owners alike will make. Different people have different priorities; I just believe that people should have all the facts so they can make an informed decision. That way, folks are more aware of how their actions will affect their lives and the planet.

Will two quarterbacks be enough for Miami Dolphins?
There have been two instances in the past two seasons where the Miami Dolphins needed three quarterbacks to make it through a regular season game.
In 2009, after Chad Henne and Pat White both suffered game-ending injuries the Dolphins broke the glass and called on Tyler Thigpen to finish out the season-finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
And in 2010, after Chad Pennington lasted two plays in his first start and Henne suffered a knee injury the Dolphins called on Thigpen again to rally the team to a victory over the Tennessee Titans.
Thigpen's long gone after signing a three-year, $11 million deal to become Buffalo's backup, but can we really expect the days of this franchise needed a third quarterback to be history too?
At this point Dolphins fans better hope so – despite the troublesome right side of the offensive line – because this regime opted to only carry TWO arms on the active roster at this point.
Undrafted rookie Pat Devlin is still here, developing on the practice squad, but he won't be able to play in a game unless he's called up to the 53 man roster.
So, in the year where the NFL alters its rules, expanding the gameday roster from 44 to 47 and allowing the third quarterback to be active at any point, the Dolphins decide not to carry a third quarterback on the 53-man roster.
That means if Tony Sparano's team gets into a spot where a third quarterback is needed during a game due to injuries the Dolphins might be running….wait for it….the Wildcat (yes…it's still alive) the rest of the way.
Daniel Thomas, who played quarterback in junior college, better spend some time each week throwing some passes and learning the passing game until the Dolphins find a No. 3 quarterback they REALLY want to invest in.
"To be honest with you, I felt best with two quarterbacks right now," Sparano said. "There's a lot of teams that don't do it but there's a lot of teams that do it. Right now we are one of the teams that are going to play with two quarterbacks."
I suspect the Dolphins will continue to explore other quarterbacks – picking up acorns for a workout here and there….they've already started – but they'll need to find someone worth investing in to sign him.
If something did happen to Henne or Matt Moore, who both had solid preseasons, Devlin would likely get a call-up from the practice squad right now because he knows the offense better than someone coming off the street.
However, if the Dolphins do find themselves having to play Devlin the season would likely be circling the drain because he's not ready for what starting NFL defenses will throw at him.
Henne's the opening game starter, and its time South Florida learned to "love the one your with."
I project Henne will have until the Oct. 23 home game against Denver to prove his past issues are in his past. He could do so by producing a QB rating higher than 80, and by leading the Dolphins to a .500 or better record in the season's first six games.
While there's still work to be done, Henne's finally earned the respect of the Dolphins locker room, and it's clear Sparano has his back.
"He's had a really good training camp. I think he's way ahead of where he was a year ago," Sparano said. "I think anybody that's been watching us play can see that. I would expect that he's going to have a really good season."
Will it be good enough to produce a winning season, saving Sparano's job? That's the big question of the 2011 season.

Five local boys graduated from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts on May 6 during a ceremony held at Buford Volunteer Fire Department.
Chandler Horton, Austin Shipston, Mason Brasington, Hunter Roberts and JP Starr crossed the bridge from Cub Scout to Boy Scout during the ceremony. The occasion was made more memorable by the fact that the graduation coincided with the 50th anniversary of Cub Scout Pack 82, which was established in 1962.

May is National Pet Month, a time to celebrate the furry, four-legged companions that can be more like family members than just mere pets. For most pet owners, the worst possible scenario would to be to lose that valued member of the family. But there are several resources that can increase the chances of reuniting with a lost dog or cat.
Driving through the South Carolina countryside, you will occasionally see a green and white diamond-shaped sign declaring a property to be part of the American Tree Farm System. What does that mean?
The American Tree Farm System (ATFS) is the country's largest and oldest network of family-owned forests. More than 83,000 members are managing 26 million acres of America's forests.

We're pretty sure you've heard that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but did you know six ounces of low-fat yogurt every three days may keep high blood pressure at bay?
CBS News reports that new research shows study participants who got 2 percent or more of their calories from yogurt (an average of one six-ounce cup every third day) had a 31 percent lower chance of developing high blood pressure than non–yogurt eaters. They also had lower systolic blood pressure numbers.
"Yogurt is a good source of calcium, and many studies have shown that calcium can help keep blood pressure levels under control," dietitian Despina Hyde, who did not work on the study, tells WebMD, according to the network.

He's released freestyles that were blogged and hyped up around the world, in particular the famous "Exhibit A." His Roc Nation album will be coming out later this year, but for now we get this live video – "Prelude to a Freestyle". After the jump, watch the Making of Act II, his upcoming album.
