As I knelt down on the floor of my son Carter's first grade classroom, his teacher, Marti Mogensen, offered to let us join in opening a small box of fresh school supplies. A few other students gathered around, as curious 6- and 7-year-olds will do. The sounds of crinkling plastic and eager little fingers tearing at the packages trailed off into the distance as I realized that several of the packages were left-handed scissors. I remarked to Marti that there seemed to be a lot of left-handed scissors for such a small class. Marti agreed and said that there were five left handed students, a remarkable number given that the class has a total of only 16 students. Five out of 16 seemed strangely high.
Carter was new to the class. So I responded to Marti with enthusiasm, telling her how happy I was that Carter would not be the lone lefty. And then Marti looked at me, surprised, and replied, "Oh! Carter is a lefty too? That's right! That makes six." Approximately one in 10 people are left-handed. Five of the last sevenU.S. Presidents have been left handed. To me, this cluster suggests a resilient and limber quality. Personal resilience is something that may prove valuable in learning to overcome the confines of the status quo. At the very least, being left handed is an inescapable lesson in creative ergonomics and dare I say, empathy. For the record, I am right handed, as is Carter's dad. While perhaps a genetic mystery, Carter's left-handedness is as clear as day, and comes with a whole host of subtle ergonomic challenges, writing obstacles and cultural biases passed on from prior generations. The world is filled with right-hand oriented doors, scissors and even ice cream scoops. While left-handers open doors with the same proficiency as their right-handed counterparts, young lefties are prone to experience what some observe as awkwardness. Many objects in our daily life are tailored for the majority: right-handed, right-footed, right-eyed, right-sided, and perhaps left-brain dominant.
For many left-handed children, frustration and discomfort materialize while learning to write in school. A world where writing eludes at the tender age of 5 or 6 can be a world filled with misunderstandings, frustration and brow-furrowing labels. These judgments often cause doors to shut prematurely and hamper a left-handed child's potential and future academic success. They also open doors that lead from specialist to specialist. I believe that every child deserves to learn and thrive at school. This includes access to an effective teacher, and a robust learning environment where each student reaches his or her full potential.
Carter is my oldest child. Like most first-time parents, we worried about timely achievement of early developmental milestones. Thankfully, turning over, sitting up, learning to crawl, talk, and walk happened naturally and with ease. I assumed the transition to his early school years would come as easily. And I was wrong. Carter entered school a happy, playful and curious student. His development across the cognitive, emotional, physical, and social domains was different, or so we were told.
In kindergarten we heard reports from teachers that Carter did not enjoy writing. That he had difficulty concentrating and seemed to be easily discouraged with writing assignments. Teachers reported that he was verbally engaged and well-behaved, but had trouble putting pen to paper. In the beginning, we took the wait-and-see approach, but as fall turned to spring, teachers continued to express concern. True to his temperament, he was happy and, for the most part, enjoying school. But he was exhausted at the end of each school day.
A reading specialist recommended a psychological assessment, followed by and a binocular vision assessment for perceptual skills and eye-tracking. We followed the recommendations. We spent hours over the summer seeking answers. Carter went willingly along as we trudged back and forth from appointment to appointment, meeting with strangers in large, institutional settings with long multi-syllable titles such as Occupational Therapist and Neuro Opthamoligist. We went in search of an answer that would satisfy the question, "Why is beginning reading and writing so difficult for Carter?"

"Thank you for helping an old man's fantasies," Dad said, in one of his increasingly rare moments of clarity. He looked at me through clear, intelligent eyes to thank me for producing the degrees and awards he'd asked for; for taking dictation and "mailing" letters to local and national leaders; and for supplying him with business cards and a title. The moment was brief. His pupils soon returned to mere pinpoints, his gaze unfocused. Dad, once again, was swallowed up by his dementia.
My father didn't have Alzheimer's disease. He'd suffered a closed head injury during World War II but had recovered enough to lead a fairly normal life. However, the body never forgets traumatic assault. The shadow of his injury began to overtake him in his 70s. He underwent surgery meant to prevent impending dementia, but it backfired and, overnight, Dad as we knew him disappeared.
(MORE: Handle Dementia-Related Behaviors With Compassion)
At that time, almost 20 years ago, many psychiatrists believed that people with dementia should, when delusional or confused, be redirected to what most of us understand as reality. I knew nothing about this theory. But I did know my dad, and he didn't respond well to this type of redirection. He felt diminished and humiliated. He became defensive, angry and argumentative, which was the reverse of his normal personality.

When using a laptop as a desktop replacement the battery should not be left in for long periods of time. The laptop will over time discharge the dell e1405 battery. Remove the battery,making sure that it is charged to 50% and store it in a dry, warm place. Ensure that it is wrapped protectively and nothing will be dropped on it. The battery should be re-installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge. Leaving a battery in storage for longer than this without using could cause the battery to fully discharge as the circuitry of the battery itself consumes power. Leaving a battery in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the laptop battery.
e1405 batteries story: A few months back, when the exploding Dell e1405 laptop battery first started coming to the public attention, I wondered if my laptop would be affected. Eventually Dell set up a website to deal with it and published a list of PID's (part numbers basically) that were affected and subject to recall. I remember looking through the chart for my serial number, and it wasn't there. Great, no need to worry about my laptop catching fire and burning the building down while I was at work. I still left it unplugged while I was out though, just to be safe. Two weeks ago, while I was on vacation, I noticed my laptop battery seemed to discharge pretty quickly. I know that batteries start to degrade over time, after about 500 discharges and charges, but I didn't think I was to that threshold yet. Rich's Battery stopped charging when an internal counter hit 500 and just refused to ever work again. When this Dell e1405 battery was new, 18 months ago, I could last about 4.5 hours with the WiFi radio on and the screen at full brightness. It was pretty kick-ass. On the plane ride home from Vancouver, the battery died before I even finished watching a single DVD movie, with the screen brightness turned down a bit and the WiFi radio off. That was less than 50% of what it was when new. Not good. Within another week, I noticed it dying even quicker…..

Is soil-cement right for you?
Portland Cement Association
Soil-cement layersDue to its versatility, soil-cement is widely used as either a low-cost pavement subgrade or base material for many pavement applications. In addition to roads, soil-cement can be used for building pads, container ports, warehouses, rail and truck terminals, parking areas, truck docks, materials handling and storage areas, and composting facilities.
Recycling a failed flexible pavement can be accomplished using full-depth reclamation with cement.
Wet, soft subgrade soils can be improved with cement-modified soil.
A good road or pavement requires a good foundation. The pavement base provides the thickness and stiffness necessary to support traffic and provide long-term performance.
Stabilized pavement bases, such as soil-cement and cement-treated base, have provided economical, long-lasting pavement foundations for more than 70 years. Soil cement's improved strength and durability, combined with its low first cost and ease of construction, make it an outstanding value for use as a base and subbase material.
Soil-cement is a simple, highly compacted mixture of soil, portland cement, and water. As the cement reacts, or hydrates, the mixture gains strength and improves the engineering properties of the raw soil. The major variables that control the properties and characteristics of soil-cement mixtures are the type of soil or aggregate material, the proportion of cement in the mix, the moisture conditions, and the degree of compaction. It is possible, simply by varying the cement content, to produce soil-cement that ranges from a basic modification of the compacted soil (or cement-modified soil) to fully hardened soil-cement that is strong, durable, and frost-resistant.
Although soil-cement is known by various local and regional names, the three most commonly used terms are described below.

Cement-modified soil (CMS)—This describes a soil that has been treated with a relatively small amount of cement in order to improve its engineering properties so that it is suitable for construction. For example, CMS may be used to decrease a clay or silty clay soil's cohesiveness (plasticity), decrease its volume change characteristics, increase its bearing strength, or transform a wet, soft subgrade into a surface that will support construction equipment.
Cement-treated base (CTB)—This refers to all hardened soil-cement that meets the project specified minimum durability and strength requirements for a base. CTB uses more cement than CMS, resulting in a strong, durable, frost-resistant layer for the pavement structure.
Full-depth reclamation (FDR)—This describes a special case of CTB in which aggregate for the cement-treated base is obtained by pulverizing and recycling the old asphalt surface and base material into a new fully hardened, durable, frost resistant base.
The use of soil-cement can be of great benefit to agencies responsible for building and maintaining roads. Its cost compares favorably with that of granular-base pavement. When built for equal load-carrying capacity, soil-cement is almost always less expensive than other low-cost site treatment or pavement methods.
The use or reuse of in-place or nearby borrow materials eliminates the need for hauling of expensive, granular-base materials; thus both energy and materials are conserved.
This low cost has made soil-cement an attractive alternative to designers of roads and pavements. In addition, soil-cement has considerably more load-carrying capacity than flexible pavements, requiring less thickness to carry a given load. Pavement engineers praise soil-cement's performance, its low first cost, long life, and high strength. Soil-cement is constructed quickly and easily—a fact appreciated by local government agencies and the traveling public.

Swimming And Diving Teams Knocked Off By Billikens
Nov. 2, 2002
Chicago, Ill. - The University of Illinois at Chicago swimming and diving squads don't have a problem winning races, but depth is an issue, as the Flames continue to fight off injuries.
The St. Louis Billikens landed at the UIC Natatorium on Saturday and defeated the UIC women, 127-114, while the UIC men were beat, 140-101, in a non-conference match-up.
For the women, freshman Laura Martensen looked like a seasoned veteran, as she won a trio of races. Martensen took the title in the 1650-yard free (17:51.91), and then followed that with a win in the 200-yard fly (2:21.67) and the 500-yard free (5:16.90) to finish off an impressive triple.
Diver Caitlin Carey won both diving competitions, taking the one-meter with a score of 258.60 and the three-meter with 271.00 points.
Newcomer Aisha Williams also had a good afternoon, winning the 50-yard free (25.64) and the 100-yard free (54.78).
Christine Hare added a victory in the 200-yard free in a time of 2:00.38, while taking second in the 100-yard free (56.44) to Williams.
For the men, Michael Magee was a stalwart on the diving boards winning the one-meter (280.80) and three-meter (300.50) events.
The Flames' 200-yard medley relay team of Adan Jimenez, Ari Bernstein, Alex Marinof and Bill Hare was victorious in 1:39.68.
Bernstein added a pair of wins in the 50-yard free (22.36) and 100-yard free (48.25), while LeRoy Stevens (200-free, 1:47.08), Adan Jimenez (200-back, 2:04.42) and Hare (200-Im, 2:02.90) each added runner-up finishes.
The Flames will wrap-up a three-week stretch at home next Saturday, Nov. 9, when the Flames host Evansville, UW-Milwaukee and the Northern Iowa women's team. Competition begins at 2:00 p.m. at the UIC Natatorium.

LIVE Google+ Hangout about the EarthHack contest
- Starts
- 4:00PM, 18 June 2013
- Ends
- 7:00PM, 18 June 2013
- Location
- Global
We hosted a live Google+ Hangout with some of the judges of an exciting new innovation competition that we're running with Marblar, IKEA and Philips: the EarthHack.
EarthHack [sustainable homes] is a competition that uses online crowdsourcing to find genius energy-saving solutions for the home, that have the potential to go mainstream. Winning entries could help save 1 million tons of CO2 a year by 2020 -- and will share in a cash prize of US$25,000.
Below is the full, unedited version of the Hangout. An edited video will replace this one shortly.
What is EarthHack?
The EarthHack aims to unleash the power of creative thinking on how existing technology can be re-purposed towards creating tomorrow's lower carbon, more sustainable homes.
Submitted ideas can explore potential solutions for any type of homes: from basic dwellings to towering apartment blocks, but all entries must 'reimagine' latent technology that creates or conserves energy.
Judges are looking for innovative companies and entrepreneurs from around the world that can transform markets, allowing the winners to become engineers of our low carbon future.
Winners will:
- Share in a prize pot of US$25,000
- Receive their award in New York during Climate Week NYC 2013
- Work with 1000s of bright minds across the globe to create brand new applications
- Work on a tested, and truly global, crowdsourcing platform
- Get valuable feedback from experts at IKEA and Philips on the business potential of their idea.
Marblar, conceived at Oxford University, is a crowdsourcing platform that has already connected 1000 market applications for existing technologies that were thought to be purposeless. The contest is powered by Marblar in partnership with The Climate Group and with the support of IKEA and Philips.
Why Google+ Hangout?
A Google+ Hangout is a free video chat service that allows up to ten people to have a conversation live on the internet. Guests will discuss the EarthHack concept and what the judges are looking for in winning entries; plus there's the opportunity to get your questions answered live on air.
Our Hangout will take place on June 18 at 4pm GMT+1.
Several guests are still to be confirmed, but confirmed panelists so far include:
- Professor Sir Chris Llewellyn Smith, former Director General of CERN, current Director of Energy Research at University of Oxford
- Professor Sir Richard Friend, Cavendish Professor of Physics at University of Cambridge
- Matt Stanley, Sustainability Innovation - IKEA Group Sustainability, IKEA
- Harry Verhaar, Head of Global Public and Government Affairs, Philips Lighting
- Robert Trezona, Business Development Director, IP Group
- Dan Perez, CEO, Marblar
- Mark Kenber, CEO, The Climate Group
- Ben Ferrari, Director of Corporate Relations, The Climate Group

ZF-7799: Zend_Mail Blank line above all emails sent
When Zend_Mail sends an email, there is one too many blank lines between the headers and the body. Most email clients seem to ignore this, but Gmail shows the blank line.
As far as I can tell, Zend_Mail_Transport_Abstract::_prepareHeaders() always puts a new line after the headers, then Zend_Mail_Transport_Sendmail::_sendMail() passes this straight to the mail() function. Putting trim() in either function solves it for me, but I have not tested other transports.
Confirmed on outlook 2007, it also shows the additional blank line.
I have checked this issue and it appears to be a Sendmail Transport specific issue.
I will add a patch and unittest and apply that tonight when i have my SVN account credentials with me ;)

Karen Liptrap loved to walk, but when she wanted to lose weight, she chose the same exercise that many other women do: running. A year later, though, she developed significant pain and swelling in her right knee and had to wear a brace for several months. That's when she saw an advertisement for a walking coach who promised to teach clients "how to power walk a marathon."
When Liptrap signed up for the program, she was fitness walking at 3.7 miles per hour. "I thought that was a pretty good clip," recalls the 47-year-old Oakville, Ontario, resident. But her opinion, and her speed, were about to change radically. Two months into the training, she walked her first half-marathon averaging 4.4 mph. Today, Liptrap averages 5 mph (a 12-minute mile) for her daily walks.
Up to SpeedWalking is often pigeonholed as a low- to moderate-intensity workout. And for good reason: Even those who make a real effort rarely get their internal speedometer above 4 mph. But that doesn't have to be the case. If you can improve your game by only a few tenths of a mile (click here to see our three-step program for technique-tweaking tips), walking can become an intense calorie-torching exercise. According to a 2006 study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, walkers in their fifties burn 32 percent more calories when they adjust their speed from 4.1 to 4.6 mph compared with only a 25 percent boost from 3.6 to 4.1 mph.
The crucial dividing line is 4 mph. "Moving from 4 to 4.2 mph increases calorie expenditure more than changing from 3.8 to 4 miles, and going from 4.2 to 4.4 burns even more calories for the increment," explains walking expert Mark Fenton, author of The Complete Guide to Walking for Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness. "Anything you get above 4 mph is going to be a big win, and it's a bigger win for each additional tenth you can add."
There's a different dividing line at 5 mph. Once you exceed that speed, your calorie burn becomes greater than it would be if you were running. That's because at about this pace, running starts becoming lessphysiologically demanding than walking. "The mechanics of the two tasks are completely different," explains Peter Adamczyk, PhD, a biomechanics researcher in Ann Arbor, Michigan. "When you walk, muscles have to generate energy for every step. In running, you're temporarily airborne, and you fall onto your leg, which acts like a spring." It's similar to the difference between throwing a ball up in the air over and over again (walking) and bouncing a ball (running). You use more muscles and energy to throw a ball than you do to bounce it. And even at speeds above 4 or 5 mph, walking is much easier on the joints than running is.
But are youcapable of walking 4.5, 5 or even 6 mph? Absolutely, and you don't have to be especially fit to do it. Over the past decade, Lee Scott, the walking coach who helped Liptrap speed up, has trained more than 1,200 walkers—many of them inactive, overweight women in their thirties, forties and fifties—to go faster. After four weeks of coaching and dedicated training, many are able to shave a minute off their one-mile walk time; some end up covering a mile at speeds up to 6.2 mph. With persistence, almost anyone can learn to reach speeds above 5 mph, says Scott, but women who are free of joint problems and have been athletic in the past tend to pick up the techniques faster. "You need to have good messaging from your brain to your muscles, and it's my experience that people who played sports when they were younger tend to have a better messaging system," says Scott.
However, changing your pace does require effort on your part. To improve your odds of success, follow our three-step program: (1) Change your walking form, (2) practice and (3) build up and stretch certain supporting muscles. Here are the details.

Pleased with money clip
Like other items from the collection, leather is soft and supple and looks classy and feels great. I like the sleek clip when I go out to clubs to dance or wearing tight slacks and want a streamlined look. Only complaint is that it is a little difficult to separate the clip when nothing is in it. But magnets are great for holding cards and cash. Not for huge capacity which is what a traditional wallet is for. Quality product that I expect to last (only used this a few dozen times so far).

UPDATE: Disney/ABC-TV chief Anne Sweeney has just stunned the industry by announcing her next act--she's stepping down to pursue a career as a director. "You don't want to wake up in three or four years and look in the rearview mirror and say, 'Oh, I Never did that,' " she told the Hollywood Reporter. In this More profile, she talks about her surprising career path. Best of luck, Anne, and we're looking forward to more great work from you as your life continues to evolve.
There is no such thing as silence in Anne Sweeney's light-filled 10th-floor corner office in the Aldo Rossi-designed, Art Deco–ish ABC building in Burbank, California. When Sweeney, cochair of Disney Media Networks and president of the Disney/ABC Television Group, isn't speaking, automated sounds pierce the quiet. In the background are intermittent fat bleeps, warbling noises and a sharp ding every few minutes (texts from one of her two assistants). When a tinny minuet explodes from somewhere on her desk, Sweeney leaps up from a chair in the center of her office to silence her family-only iPhone. "It's my parents," she says, laughing. "My mother would be appalled if she knew that was her ringtone."
This merry cacophony seems only fitting for an executive who has said, "Digital didn't weaken the power of television; it unleashed it" so many times, the line has practically become her mantra. And she isn't just giving lip service to technology. By the time her rivals have caught wind of a new device, Sweeney, 55, will often have already gotten hold of a batch of prototypes and distributed them to her senior team, always with the same instructions: "Take it. Interact with it. Then let me know if and how it could work for us."
One of the most powerful women in media, Sweeney oversees all of ABC TV (including daytime, prime time, news and late night), ABC Studios, ABC Family, more than 100 Disney channels worldwide, Hyperion publishing and Radio Disney—including nearly 9,000 employees ("when we're fully loaded and in season and every show is staffed," she is quick to specify).
If Sweeney's kingdom is large, it is also rich, having brought forth revenue from diverse sources: TV shows such as Dancing with the Stars and Modern Family, books by Mitch Albom and Candace Bushnell, tween and kid fare such as Hannah Montana and A.N.T. Farm. But it's her prescience about how we'll want to consume this content that has earned Sweeney her reputation as an innovator. ABC has been "a leader in promoting the other screens," says Brad Adgate, an expert in TV trends and senior vice president at the marketing firm Horizon Media. "They've been very aggressive in using digital platforms as a way to get more viewers."
Under Sweeney, ABC was the first network to sell full-length episodes of broadcast TV shows for $1.99 each on iTunes. The seed of that strategy was a meeting that Steve Jobs had requested. "He said, 'Hey, Anne . . . We're developing this device, and I'd like to show it to you,' " Sweeney recalls. Jobs flew to L.A. and handed her an early version of a video-ready iPod, which was playing an episode of ABC's megahit Lost.
"I thought, This looks gorgeous. This is a big, cinematic show, and it looks beautiful on this little screen," she says. "We were talking about it and talking about it, and then he left the building and I sat there and thought, Wait a minute. How did he get a copy of Lost?"
But rather than linger on a detail like the apparent bootlegging of one of her network's top shows—He's Steve Jobs, she told herself; he can do anything—Sweeney focused instead on what this could mean for her company and her industry: "Did we know [selling episodes via iTunes] was going to work? No. But if we didn't do it, we weren't going to find out anything."
So she made the controversial iTunes deal that caused her phone to erupt with furious calls. "The yelling days," she laughs, remembering the uproar from industry types who believed she'd dealt "appointment television" its biggest blow since the VCR. Less than a year later, she introduced another first, an ad-supported player on ABC.com that allowed viewers to catch up on their favorite broadcast shows by watching them online for free. In 2010, ABC was the first broadcast network with an episodes app for the iPad. After making similarly innovative deals with such partners as Netflix, Hulu and YouTube, Sweeney was hailed by Fast Company magazine in a mock Spider-Man comic as "The Amazing Sweeney: Catches Digital TV Partners Just Like Flies!"
While the rest of the industry was still absorbing the notion of content unteth-ered from its box in the corner of the living room, Sweeney recognized that there was no putting the digital genie back in the bottle. Even if the networks resisted making their content available online, she reasoned, others wouldn't hesitate to do so. "Piracy is a business model. It exists to serve a need in the market: consumers who want TV content on demand," she bluntly warned thousands of media executives during a startling 2006 keynote address at MIPCOM, a giant content exhibition in Cannes. "We want to go wherever our viewers are." In October 2011, she was back in front of the crowd at Cannes, this time as MIPCOM's Personality of the Year—the first woman ever to win that award—and continuing to advance her cause of TV without borders. "The more personalized television gets, the less passive the experience will become," she said. "Television has always been something you watch. Now, increasingly, it's also something you do."
If Sweeney needs a reminder of how far her industry has come, she need only glance over at the vintage Emerson TV set a few feet away in her office. Encased in glass, with its blank screen staring upward, the unit doubles as a coffee table. ("The screen's about the size of an iPad," she notes, tapping on the glass.) In her Michael Kors print dress and stylishly layered hair, Sweeney exudes an aura of absolute composure except for two tiny nervous habits: She smooths the hemline of her dress and pats her bangs. A stream of her own gentle questions—"Where are you from?" "How did you get involved in this business?"—makes it easy to forget that she has topped the Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Power 100 list three times, that she is 22nd among this year's Forbes World's 100 Most Powerful Women and 12th among Fortune's 50 Most Powerful Women in Business and that she is rumored to be on the short list to succeed her boss, Walt Disney Company chair and chief executive officer Robert Iger, who is expected to step down in 2015.
In spite of how far Sweeney has come, she insists she has never followed a carefully plotted work path. "I've seen people manage their careers to get the next title," she says. "I've always managed my career on what I was curious about."
When she was younger, Sweeney expected to be informing and entertaining a classroom of kids, not a global TV audience of billions. Education, she says, was practically in her DNA: Her mother, her grandmother and several aunts were teachers, and her father was an elementary school principal. But during her freshman year at the College of New Rochelle, when Sweeney began putting in her mandatory hours at the Child Studies Center, she had an epiphany. "You know that moment when you realize you're not cut out for something?" she says. "I had that great moment of clarity: If I kept going down this track, I would be responsible for teaching someone how to read. The idea of that was so daunting, and I didn't believe I could do it. Then I realized that I didn't want to do it. But I had a real devotion to kids, and I felt that I would be doing something for them. I just didn't know what it was going to be."
Because her other love was acting—she'd been appearing in school plays since childhood—her next thought was to make a profession out of that. One of her college-theater directors, who was also the head of casting at Grey Advertising, suggested she might find work doing voiceovers. But when Sweeney walked into his Manhattan office and spotted the stacks of actor head shots on the floor, she realized she was staring at her odds of making it big in show business: "I thought, The chances of me being a picture in a stack are pretty good."
Even as she discarded another dream, though, she began piecing together a future that combined education and drama. "I was not going to be a working actress. I wasn't going to be a teacher. [But I wanted to be a part of] children's entertainment," says Sweeney, who headed to Harvard in 1979 to earn a master's in education after discovering that some of the Sesame Street creators were teaching there. It was while sitting in the back of a class called Children and Television that she met her future husband, Philip Miller. "He was so irreverent," she says, adding that she was attracted enough to ask him out. "I said, 'Would you like to play squash with me?' and he said, 'No, but I eat it sometimes.' He thought he was being witty." Five years later, they were married.
Sweeney's first job after graduation, working for an independent television production that satirized the 1980 presidential race, fell apart after three months. "The show turned out to be so expensive, they closed our department," she says. "That was a great lesson in you're there one day and not the next." But when someone she'd met on that job asked, "What do you really want to do?" she went with her gut and replied, "I really want to do kids' TV, but I can't get a job at Sesame Street." That contact led Sweeney to the then-fledgling cable channel Nickelodeon, where she got a job as an assistant to the director of acquisitions, Geraldine Laybourne.
The memory of her shabby secretarial skills still makes her laugh out loud: "Gerry gave me the first memo to type. It took me, like, half the day, and she came to me and said, 'I thought you said you typed really fast,' and I said, [she switches to a tiny, sheepish voice] 'Well, compared to my friends [I do].' "
What Sweeney lacked in IBM Selectric skills, she made up for in her ability to critically assess TV movies and specials that might end up on the network. Not much later, Laybourne, a former schoolteacher herself, taught her the art of negotiation the low-tech way. Sweeney would sit at her boss's side as Laybourne haggled into the telephone receiver. "We didn't have a speakerphone," says Sweeney. "So I would listen to what she was saying to someone we were buying a series from, and then she'd get off the phone and say, 'OK, remember when I said that? Well, then he said this.' And I learned to negotiate by listening to half the conversation and having the other half filled in."
Over Sweeney's next 12 years at Nickelodeon, she rose to the position of senior vice president and had two children. It was when the cable channel, which was on the air for half the day, had the opportunity to enter into a 24-hour cycle that she discovered she was a self-described launch junkie.
"I think what excites me is the unknown," she says. "There's no certainty when you launch a cable channel, when you launch an app, that people are going to like it . . . if you truly have something people are going to stick with." Faced with extra airtime but little money to create programming, Sweeney was thrilled to be part of the team that acquired old-timey family favorites like Mister Ed and The Donna Reed Show and packaged the reruns as Nick at Night. "We went through the inventory that was available, then looked at things we had loved as kids," she says. Given the success of that programming, the idea now seems like a no-brainer. But at the time no one felt sure that contemporary audiences would respond to shows from a generation before. The classic TV programs appealed as kitsch to kids and teens while also tapping into boomer nostalgia.
In 1993 media mogul Rupert Murdoch called Sweeney and offered her a promotion and the chance to explore her love of launches, writ large: He wanted her to move to Los Angeles and, as chief executive officer of FX Networks, help him start a cable channel. If Sweeney hesitated before accepting, she had good reason. The family was set up in its first real house—"a sweet Dutch Colonial, the kind you dream about"—in White Plains, New York. Her husband, who had just graduated from law school, had lined up a job at a big New York City firm and was studying for the bar.
"Just when you think you have everything organized, God laughs," she says. "I spent the next couple of days talking to my husband about it . . . and every piece of the refrigerator was covered with pro/con lists." Ultimately, she says, it was her spouse's willingness to move to California and take the bar exam in both states—"a wildly unpleasant experience," she notes—that convinced her the move could work.
"He looked at me and he said, 'You gave me law school. The next adventure is yours.' "
Sweeney's great adventure at Fox saw her launch two cable channels in three years—FX, which featured a mix of sports, news, live TV and reruns, and FXM: Movies from Fox, the industry's first studio-based movie network. FX established an early foothold on the then-new World Wide Web, encouraging viewer interactivity with the channel. Murdoch "taught me not to be afraid of any idea," Sweeney says. In 1996, Sweeney's former boss Laybourne hired her away to Disney/ABC, where she oversaw the launches of Toon Disney (now Disney XD) and SOAPnet and more than quintupled the Disney Channel's subscriber base. She ascended to her present position in 2004.
The family's relocation to the West Coast in the early '90s proved fortunate in ways Sweeney could never have imagined. When her son, Christopher, was two, she began noticing that he had cognitive issues, so she took him to the pediatrician. She returned home with a diagnosis—something called pervasive developmental disorder—and a feeling of helplessness. After the move to Los Angeles, a doctor examined Chris, by then nine, and told Sweeney and her husband that their child was autistic. "It was, in an odd way, a relief: At least we knew there was something we could read about," she says, adding that they found "a brilliant speech therapist who willed him to talk. Then we kept throwing a lot of therapy at him." A seismic change in her son's development came when Miller decided to go part time. "To have Dad on the ground when Chris got home? It was life changing for us," says Sweeney. "It was an enormous sacrifice on my husband's part, but he made it for our family."
While working for Murdoch, Sweeney met Peter Roth, then president of Fox, whose daughter is autistic. They became "friends and support systems for each other," says Roth, who now runs Warner Bros. Every year, he says, Sweeney arranges a VIP trip to Disneyland for his daughter, who is passionate about the amusement park. For that, he says, "I will always be grateful to her."
Sweeney's daughter, Rosemary, 22, is getting her master's degree—in, yes, education—at Stanford. Chris, 27, lives in a group home and often comes to visit his parents on the weekend. Sweeney's face lights up when she talks about her son; it's clear that she truly appreciates the man he has become. "He calls everyone every day," she says. "He checks in with his aunts, his cousins, his sister. To me, he is who we would all like to be: that person who never stops caring about everyone in his family and community."
Part of what Sweeney's son has taught her is how important her at-home life is—how, if you let it, work can be all-consuming. "I do have a hard line around my family," says Sweeney, who avoids morning meetings and tries to leave the office by 6 pm. "For a lot of years, I read every article about time management . . . I think when I finally gave up on the idea of balance, it was a really"—she hesitates, looking for the right word—"happy moment. You can drown in to-do lists. Or you can thrive and have a happy, messy life. Which I do."
Running such a large empire by definition requires a certain formidability—and Murdoch has described Sweeney as "an iron fist in a velvet glove." Her off-hours pursuits include hawking, a sport Sweeney characterizes as both beautiful and terrifying. The birds are "magnificent," she says. "The talons are out, and it's ready to just grip your wrist." On the job, though, she prefers to avoid theatrics. "I'm not a screaming, desk-pounding executive," she says. "I always find it more effective to have a strongly worded conversation."
Sweeney works hard at bringing humanity to her position, trying to get to know everyone from the marquee talent to the worker bees. With that in mind, she hosts a series called Coffee with Anne, inviting 25 employees she's never met for a caffeine fix and gabfest. She breaks the ice by sharing something about herself. "I'm sorry I'm late," she'll say. "We took our daughter back to college this weekend, and I'm a little upside down."
Shonda Rhimes, creator of a trio of ABC dramas—the hospital monster hit Grey's Anatomy; its successful spinoff, Private Practice; and her newest, the political thriller Scandal—describes Sweeney as a calm, reassuring force who "uses her power well, and wisely." It was Sweeney who introduced Rhimes when the producer was honored with a Visionary Award by Essence magazine last February. "She's got a great sense of humor and [her intro] was really charming," Rhimes recalls. "Right before we went up, she turned to me and said, 'I'm going to do something, and I don't want you to be mad at me,' and I was like, Oh my God. What is she going to do?"
Instead of "just getting up and giving a lovely speech about me," Rhimes says, Sweeney "brought a tiara and crowned me an official Disney princess."
Given how well Sweeney's realms performed last year, she deserved a tiara of her own. Even as Disney's movie division flailed around in the wake of the Martian adventure flick John Carter, deemed one of Hollywood's costliest flops ever, Disney Media Networks, cochaired by Sweeney and ESPN president John Skipper, was a bright spot at the Mouse House. Six freshman ABC series returned this fall, including breakout hits such as the evening soap Revengeand the fantasy-drama Once upon a Time. In March the Disney Channel toppled ratings juggernaut Nickelodeon from its spot as the most-watched cable network by total daily viewers, and in September, Good Morning America knocked the Today show from its perch. Media Networks revenues grew 9 percent in fiscal 2011, to $18.7 billion. Fiscal 2012 results were not yet available as More went to press, but division revenues for the third quarter were up 3 percent.
Like many of us, Sweeney time-shifts much of her own TV viewing to suit her schedule, and she confesses a special fondness for HBO's Game of Thrones: "The storytelling is great. I have trouble sometimes with the violence. My husband is a steady viewer, and I'm pretty regular. But he fills in the gaps for me: 'Oh, you missed it. They killed so-and-so.' "
With the gems of her own network's hit-laden 2004–05 season now either off the air (Desperate Housewives, Lost) or fading (Grey's Anatomy), Sweeney has her work cut out for her. This season, ABC's bid for the daytime-talk-show hole left by Oprah Winfrey's departure to OWN is Katie, starring Katie Couric, onetime nemesis of Good Morning America. Sweeney wants to build on the nighttime success of Revenge with Nashville, a glossy behind-the-scenes peek at the country-western music world, created by Oscar--winning screenwriter Callie Khouri (Thelma and Louise), and the military drama Last Resort seemed a good bet to lure guys back to a post-Lost ABC. (By early fall, Katie was averaging more than two million weekly viewers, and Nashville had been warmly received by critics. Last Resort did indeed appeal to men, but overall, the early ratings were not strong.)
"In every business, you're only as good as the last great story you've told, and you're always searching for the next great story," she says. As always, though, it's the next gadget or partnership—"how we behave and how we grow in the digital age"—that keeps Sweeney up at night but also gets her bopping with excitement. "Have I shown you the Watch app?" she asks, grabbing an iPad and sliding her forefinger across the screen to show off ABC's colorful new portal to kid-friendly content. "We did a deal with Comcast . . . you basically say to your machine, 'Hey, it's me,' and you're able to watch the Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney Junior on your iPad, your iPhone, your laptop or your TV set," she explains.
After developing the technology, they tested it in focus groups. "The hardest thing was the moment when we had to say to the kids, 'Thank you very much. We're done.' Because we had to take the iPad out of their hands, and they didn't want to let go." One kid in particular made Sweeney realize just how personal Disney's content had become, thanks to devices that strip away, in her words, "any distance between the story and the child."
"We have this one little girl on tape, and she's holding her iPad and watching Disney Junior and she says, 'I feel like I just want to get on the couch and cuddle up with my iPad.' And I thought, Wow! When did we ever think we would hear that?"
And so the tale of the Amazing Sweeney continues to unfold. Will she top the Hollywood Reporter list for a fourth year in a row? "I don't take [these lists] personally," she insists. Come 2015, will she sit atop the whole of the Walt Disney Company? Is she even interested in the job? She chooses her words carefully: "My goal right now is making this division that I run very successful. Certainly if the opportunity presents itself at some point and it's something that I'm curious about and want to do, it's a possibility."
There are some who think a woman will never climb that high in this field, that the entertainment industry's glass ceiling is too hard for even the sharpest tiara to pierce. But as with the notion of balance, Sweeney isn't buying it.
"I've never signed up for the glass ceiling idea," she says. "I always felt it was placing a limitation on myself and on every other woman. I believe I'm going to succeed and fail based on what I do, based on my intellect, based on the decisions that I make, based on the people that I choose to work with . . .We can all figure out reasons why we didn't succeed. Or we can just blow past everything."
And rule happily ever after.

ZF-2533: Zend internally doesn't use user-defined class loader
Zend own internally doesn't use my own class loader.
I set this:
And now for example in Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract is used this:
But this static method is hardcoded and doesn't use my class loader, but table class it's my own class and I need use own class loader for it.
I found simple workarounfd, but it's necessary modify Zend_loader class and I don't like it.
public static function loadClass($class, $dirs = null)
if (class_exists($class, false) || interface_exists($class, false)) {
if (spl_autoload_functions()!==false) {
if (class_exists($class, false) || interface_exists($class, false)) return;
I only add
if (spl_autoload_functions()!==false) {
if (class_exists($class, false) || interface_exists($class, false)) return;
If is defined autoload function, Zend_Loader::loadClass() use it instead of default implementation.
Resetting priority and assigning for review.
As of 1.5.1 the issue remains unresolved. This is my patch proposal. It will add an optional argument to Zend_Loader::loadClass() to specify whether to use autoload. *_Loader should call the method specifying false as third argument, while calls to Zend_Loader::loadClass() from Zend_Db component now works.
This is a pretty major change, and has wide ranging implications -- performance, class resolution, etc. While I can see the benefits, we cannot make a change of this scope until we are ready for a major revision (2.0).
I'm using the simple non-optional patch by Tomáš Procházka since march 2008 and it works pretty well. My setup is mixed: some classes follow ZF naming convention and some don't. The patch, together with my own class loader, makes any difference transparent.
As for the "wide ranging implications" I've seen none.
Assigning this to Matthew, as he oversees cross-cutting issues like this. I'd like to see a simple one-line comment that says with no uncertainty what we'll be doing- either wait for 2.0 or consider for 1.x.
Resolved in trunk and 1.8 release branch

|Lozano is WAC Player of the Week
DENVER – Idaho junior women's tennis player Victoria Lozano earned Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors after going 2-1 in singles play and 2-0 in doubles against WAC foes Seattle U, San Jose State and Texas State last weekend.
Lozano played every match at No. 1 as Idaho went 2-1 in three WAC matches. Lozano's only loss of the week came to No. 47 Klaudia Boczova of No. 66 San Jose State. She put together a winning performance in Idaho's 6-1 triumph over Seattle U. Lozano scored a 6-2, 6-0 win over Lindsey Newman and teamed with Almu Sanz to win 8-0 in No. 1 doubles. Lozano also had a straight-set win at No. 1 singles against Texas State's Jessica Kahts and won 9-7 at No. 1 doubles, helping the Vandals to a 4-3 win over the Bobcats.
"She has been playing really well and she definitely helped our team by getting doubles wins with Almu, which takes pressure off and builds momentum for the rest of the team," Idaho coach Myriam Sopel said. "In singles she has really been stepping up her game in the past month. She has been using everything we've been working on all semester and applying it efficiently to her game and performing really well. She has proved that she can beat any player in the conference and she really deserves this WAC Player of the Week honor."
It is the third WAC Player of the Week honor of Lozano's career and first this season.
Lozano and the Vandals wrap up the regular season at Utah State on April 20 before heading to the WAC tournament April 25-28 in Denver.

Everyone seems to want to write a letter to their younger selves. That's sort of lost on me since it won't do any good. Or harm. My letter would be short. It would say, "Don't." "Don't do it. Don't believe him. Don't try it." It would be the opposite of the Nike ad. It would say, "Just don't." I think it serves me better to write a letter to my 60-year-old self. That gives me 17 years to work toward something.
Dear 60-year-old self,
I hope you are well. As I sit here at 43, I think you have a great life ahead of you. Not one without sorrow or pain, but a great one nonetheless. Your kids should be out of the house by now. If not, please ask them to go. It's what's best for them. For your sake, I hope all of them get great scholarships to college. Please help them pay for college so that they don't have to start their grown up lives with student loan debt. Discourage all forms of debt, even if it's a way for them to live in Egypt for two years. They might think you are a bore, but they'll thank you for it later. Your kids are old enough to understand death now. Please prepare them for yours. Prepare yourself for death as well. I read enough obituaries to know this road is not endless.
Count your lucky stars that you made the right choice in a man. I can already see not everyone will end up with the one they are with now. Be grateful for each day that you can move and laugh and draw the coffee cup to your lips. Spend time with friends and take the time to look at pictures so that you remember how much fun your 30s and 40s were. The 60s will be good too. Be grateful for old friends because at this point I can see that good friends are more valuable than any car you drive, home you own or 401K. Well maybe not the 401K.
Don't hold grudges. It's not worth it. So far, you've changed your mind on most things and surprised no one more than yourself. I imagine in your 60s, you'll know less than you do now. Enjoy the next 20 years. Remember how you felt like you had the world in your hands when you were 43. Start thinking about who gets what; this ring, that necklace, that old photograph. These first 43 years sped by. I'm bettin' time has not slowed. Make sure your kids know they were three of the four best things you ever did. Marrying their father was the fourth. You can't tell them enough. When you are dead, they will long to hear the mundane and the overly repeated and everything in between. Take my word on that.
That's enough for now. Please write back.

ZF-8230: Auto-bind
After authenticated on Active Directory using Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap as my adapter, i can call getLdap(), returning the Zend_Ldap object used to authenticated.
The problem is when I do searches: everytime it's necessary to bind. I don't if this is default or not, but it's so boring.
Wouldn't be nice if there was a "auto-bind" function inside search function? Afterall, The options are already set there, including username and password posted by user.
Please, thanks and sorry in advance if I said something wrong. Im new here and a eternal apprentice. :}
Should rather be an Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap issue.
Are you using the membership-feature (using the {{group}}-setting not being {{null}})? If so the auth-adapter must rebind with the user given in the adapter options to prevent access restriction problems.
Would be these options?
Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap (line 380)
$adapterOptions = array(
'group' => null,
'groupDn' => $ldap->getBaseDn(),
'groupScope' => Zend_Ldap::SEARCH_SCOPE_SUB,
'groupAttr' => 'cn',
'groupFilter' => 'objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames',
'memberAttr' => 'uniqueMember',
'memberIsDn' => true
I didn't know about those options. So I guess group may still ```.
My login is working perfectly, as my searches. The only "problem" is that before every search I must bind again.
The options should be fine. Could you please provide some sample code of what you're doing so that I can build a test-case to replicate your issue?
The options should be fine. Could you please provide some sample code of what you're doing so that I can build a test-case to replicate your issue?
ldap.default.host = "primolan.primolan.com.br"
ldap.default.accountDomainName = "primolan.com.br"
ldap.default.accountDomainNameShort = "primolan"
ldap.default.accountCanonicalForm = 3
ldap.default.baseDn = "DC=primolan, DC=primolan, DC=com, DC=br"
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance()->setStorage(new Zend_Auth_Storage_Session($this->getRequest()->getModuleName()));
$adapter = new Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap($options, $params['username'], $params['password']);
$result = $auth->authenticate($adapter);
$ldap = $adapter->getLdap();
$ldap->bind($username, $password);
$result = $ldap->searchEntries($filters, $ldap->getBaseDn(), Zend_Ldap::SEARCH_SCOPE_SUB);
Without that $ldap->bind(), searchEntries doesn't work.
OK - thanks for your efforts.
Currently I can't think of a reason why this would not work - but let me check this. I'll have a look into this tomorrow.
Thanks for your patience and attention. See you tomorrow. Have a good night!
Should be fixed in trunk (r18878) and 1.9-release branch (r18882)

In this version of Windows, you have more control over how your computer uses and manages power than ever before.
You can use the battery meter to put a different power plan into effect. Although the battery meter is more commonly used with mobile PCs, it can also appear on a desktop computer if the computer is plugged into a USB uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or other short-term battery device.
The battery meter is located in the notification area of the Windows taskbar. The battery meter makes it easy for you to monitor the power consumption of your mobile PC while you're using it.
When you hover over the battery icon, you can see the percentage of battery charge remaining and the power plan that Windows is using.
Many mobile PCs are equipped with more than one battery. Click the battery icon to see the charge remaining on each battery. Hover over the icon to see the combined charge.
The battery meter also indicates whether your mobile PC is plugged in or running on battery power. When the charge on your battery is low, the battery meter displays a notification directly above the battery icon.
The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the battery so that you can see how much charge remains. When the battery charge is above 25 percent, the battery icon is green. When the battery charge reaches 25 percent, a yellow triangle with an exclamation point (!) appears above the green battery icon. When the charge reaches the low-battery level, a red circle with a white "X" appears above the green battery icon.
When you click the battery icon, the battery meter indicates how much charge remains. From the battery meter, you can also switch to a different type of power plan (for example, from a plan that optimizes system performance to a plan that saves power).
To change a power plan's settings or to select a power plan that isn't shown on the battery meter, click More power options. For more information, see Battery meter: frequently asked questions.
Power settings in this version of Windows are based on power plans. A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manages how your computer uses power. Power plans can help you save energy, maximize system performance, or achieve a balance between the two. The three default power plans—Balanced, Power saver, and High performance—meet most people's needs. You can change settings for any of these plans, or, if these plans don't suit your needs, you can create your own plan by using one of these plans as a starting point.
Your computer manufacturer may provide additional power plans.
Though the Balanced power plan is the active plan by default in this version of Windows, you can choose a different power plan as the active plan. If you decide you want to change the active plan back to Balanced, you can do so at any time.
The following table describes each power plan.
This plan balances energy consumption and system performance by adapting the computer's processor speed to your activity.
This plan saves power on your mobile PC by reducing system performance. Its primary purpose is to maximize battery life.
This plan provides the highest level of performance on your mobile PC by adapting processor speed to your work or activity and by maximizing system performance.
You can manage all of your power plan settings by using Power Options in Control Panel. You can further optimize the computer's power consumption and system performance by changing advanced power settings. No matter how many settings you change, you can always restore them to their original values.
Your computer manufacturer may provide additional power plans and settings.
In this version of Windows, it's easy to turn off your computer: Just click the Power button on the Start menu.

By Mawuse Ziegbe
So, I have this crush. He's this mannish, dude-ly, male person. He builds things. He smokes things. He skies down things. It's awesome. He's also wicked different from me. When he tells me about his time on a ranch in Wyoming, all I can think is, "what the fuck is Wyoming?" When he invites me over for Scrabble I desperately hope it's a euphemism for something involving latex and candle wax. Sadly, the earnest, good-guy gleam in his eye tells me it's not. But in the interest of new horizons and all that, I accompanied him to a Reggie Watts show at Joe's Pub. Reggie Watts looks like a cross between Counting Crows' Adam Duritz and a down-on-his-luck Sideshow Bob. He beat-boxes and does all this nonsensical yet still politically biting scatting business that sounds like a cross between Doug E. Fresh and a manic Sideshow Bob. I mean, parts of it were cool – he made beats onstage by sampling his own voice – but lots of it was just…foolish.
When I'm not faking an interest in live music to get in a guy's pants, I'm drooling over Q-Tip's new album, The Renaissance. I was initially very apprehensive about this project (the internet singles like "Work It Out" were making my brain barf). But for serious, The Renaissance is gorgeous. Q-Tip has reined in his penchant for the stuttering, monotonous beats and stiff, shallow rhymes that sank 1999′s Amplified. The Renaissance is replete with dusty soul samples punched up by 'Tip's melodic flow and conscious yet not overly preachy messages. I literally gawked at my iPod when I heard Raphael Saadiq's androgynous, syrupy vocals on "We Fight/We Love." I'm all over the bendy Boogaloo beat of "Manwomanboogie" with a surprisingly sassy Amanda Diva. "Believe" is glossed with the sublime glow of D'Angelo's trademark falsetto.
Jazzanova's latest album, Of All The Things is also unexpectedly addictive. The German collective has handily produced one of the best albums of the year. There's frisky nu-jazz and buttery soul that pulses with vibrant basslines and some of the most diverse voices in music. My favorite rapper Phonté tries his hand at singing "Look What You're Doin' To Me" and absolutely floored me with a papery falsetto that is identical to Dwele's soft crooning. Detroit artist Paul Randolph flexes his dapper vocals throughout the album, including the sunny, inspirational number "Let Me Show Ya." And Ben Westbeech, who's moving feets with Kraak and Smaak's recent hit, "Squeeze Me," wields some UK soul on the groovy, "I Can See." Of All The Things is like a mixtape packed with your absolute favorite songs by Mark Ronson, Solange, Coldplay, Al Jarreau, and Donnie. This is a good album to kick off any Jazzanova obsession.
African hip hop star K'Naan is kicking off his latest project with the lead single, "ABCs." K'naan doesn't really have a reason to make dance tracks, what with being a Somali refugee and the lack of body-rockin' fodder that experience provides. So it's good to see he found a way to make a party jam by spitting about the ills of street life over a souped-up version of Chubb Rock's "Treat 'Em Right." Activists need to get down too.
And I'm lucky the first time I ever got down in concert was with the legendary African singer and activist, Miriam Makeba. I was about three and my parents took me to see her at Boston's Symphony Hall. I was just barely able to see over the seats but I remember jamming to the horns for what seemed like hours. Miriam looked far away but she was washed in bright lights, commanding the sprawling band and just moving! That concert is one of my best family memories to this day; my parents were still together and Miriam's fierceness was one of the few things they agreed on. There may not be many more Reggie Watts concerts in my future but when your first live performance is from an artist who can inspire nations, quell feuding spouses and sing until the last very last breath, you understand the rarity of greatness.

Men's Hockey Gets Tripped Up By Brown, 6-3
Box Score
PRINCETON, N.J. (11/9/13) - Junior Tucker Brockett assisted on all three Princeton goals and senior Andrew Ammon scored twice as the men's hockey team lost a 6-3 game to Brown before 2,073 fans at Hobey Baker Rink on Saturday, Nov. 9.
Brown converted on both power-play opportunities in the first period and scored three goals in the first seven minutes of the second to take a 5-1 lead.
Brown converted on its first power-play opportunity less than three minutes into the game on a goal from Matt Lorito, and had another by Matt Wahl with 43 seconds left in the period. In between the goals, Ammon scored is first goal for the Tigers.
Ammon knotted the game at 1-1 as he out muscled the Brown defense. He intercepted a behind-the-goal pass, and after briefly losing it, he forced Brown to give it up again just to the right of the goal. Brockett put a shot on net and the rebound was slotted to Ammon for the goal at 7:09 of the first.
Dennis Robertson, Matt Naclerio and Matt Wahl each scored even-strength goals for Brown early in the second period giving the Bears the 5-1 edge.
Seniro Jack Berger cut the Tigers' defict back with a power-play goal with 58 seconds left in the second as he tipped in a shot from the point by Tom Kroshus after getting the puck along the left boards from Brockett.
A short-handed goal at 2:30 of the third period by Naclerio came nine seconds after Kyle Kramer was sent to the box for boarding, putting the game further out of reach for the Tigers.
Ammon notched his second of the night midway through the third. Brockett intercepted a dump at the blue line and ripped that was deflected and then picked up by Jonathan Liau. Liau sent the puck into the slot for Ammon and he put it away.
Brown's freshmen goaltender Tyler Steel made 22 saves and Princeton senior Sean Bonar made 26 saves as Brown outhsot Princeton 32-25, thanks to an 18-7 differential in the middle frame.
Princeton falls to 1-5 on the season and 0-4 in the ECAC, while Brown moves to 3-2-1 overall and 1-2-1 in league play.
The Tigers take a break from the league schedule to host No. 12 UMass Lowell on Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m.
