Buy this photo Advocate staff photo by JOHN McCUSKER -- The Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club kicked off Mardi Gras on Jackson Avenue parading Tuesday under the theme 'One World, One Love.' Parade-goers score the most sought-after throw of carnival, the Zulu coconut. BY DANNY MONTEVERDE| New Orleans bureau Comments New Orleans — It takes a lot to cancel a celebration in this city, and the mere threat of rain that lingered like the low-hanging clouds on the skyline Tuesday was not enough to stop Mardi Gras Day 2013. "We wouldn't think of missing it," said Madeline Schwarner, who sat among friends on the St. Charles route near Jackson Avenue. The New Orleanian of two years, who moved here from Jonesboro, Ark., came prepared with an umbrella that wasn't needed for more than a few minutes. "Rain happens a lot. This happens one day every year. I'll take my chances." Krewe officials Monday said they would monitor weather forecasts and only call off the parades if riders' safety would be at risk. From Tremé, to Uptown, to the Central Business District, to the French Quarter and Fabourg Marigny, others seemed to share Schwarner's view of the impending weather and filled the city's streets like there was nothing to worry about. That carefree attitude permeated the day. When a Zulu float broke down on St. Charles Avenue just before Terpsichore Street, a dance party broke out on the avenue. "Have fun, y'all! It could be raining," said the DJ on the neutral ground, urging the crowd to make the most of the day that seemed last week to be at risk. While there was a light mist throughout most of the morning, a moderate rain began to fall as Rex began its roll in the early afternoon. While Bourbon Street's party moved indoors to the barrooms and clubs, those on the parade route braved the elements. A short time later the rain let up, the only blemish on the day. Earlier in the morning, Derrick Gibbens, of Metairie, staked out a spot near Lee Circle where he fired up a small grill as Zulu passed. "You need to do this right," he said as hamburgers and hot dogs sizzled. "Food and family and fun. That's what today's about." Fun, though, was the main order of the day. Lydia Jefferson and her three grandchildren — Larry, 6 ; David, 4; and Lindsey, 2 — were busy building a small mountain of throws they collected. "They love it," Jefferson said. "They absolutely love it." Jefferson, a Central City resident, said she enjoys the parade of costumed revelers that passed her. As usual, people dressed up in everything from the tame, such as angels, to the more risqué, like the man who wore a chef's hat on his head and a plate of pasta with two meatballs and a sausage placed at a strategic location. Bill Higgins, of New Orleans, carried a daiquiri in his hand as he made his way through the Central Business District in a simple costume: a black garbage bag draped over his torso with a Saints hat on his head. "I'm the Superdome during the Super Bowl," he said. "You need to dress up for Mardi Gras, but no one said you had to spend a lot of time on it." It's the thought and the spirit that count, he said. At Gallier Hall, Mayor Mitch Landrieu, who wore a Batman mask at times, was in the spirit as he did the Wobble dance. He also presided over the traditional toast of Carnival's royalty, King Zulu and Rex, King of Carnival. Cedric Givens, King Zulu 2013, thanked the residents of New Orleans for their support of his organization. Rex 2013, William H. Hines, who ruled over the city for the day after Landrieu ceded authority to him on Lundi Gras, declared New Orleans the "Kingdom of Culture and Creativity and Entrepreneurship" during the toast. "I think that's our next phase," Hines said. "Wonderful things are happening here. May you never cease to love, New Orleans." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

There are two ways to allow an app through a firewall. Both of them are risky:
Add an app to the list of allowed apps (less risky).
Open a port (more risky).
When you add an app to the list of allowed apps in a firewall—sometimes called unblocking—or when you open a firewall port, you allow a specific app to send info to or from your PC through the firewall, as though you drilled a hole in the firewall. This makes your PC less secure and might create opportunities for hackers or malware to use one of those openings to get to your files or use your PC to spread malware to other PCs.
Generally, it's safer to add an app to the list of allowed apps than to open a port. A port stays open until you close it, but an allowed app opens the "hole" only when needed.
To help decrease your security risk:
Only allow an app or open a port when you really need to, and follow the steps to remove apps from the list of allowed apps or close ports that you no longer need.
Never allow an app that you don't recognize to communicate through the firewall.
Open Windows Firewall by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer down, and then clicking Search), entering firewall in the search box, tapping or clicking Settings, and then tapping or clicking Windows Firewall.
Tap or click Allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall.
Tap or click Change settings.
You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
Clear the check box next to the app you want to remove from the list of allowed apps, and then tap or click OK.
Tap or click Advanced settings.
You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security dialog box, Tap or click Inbound Rules.
Select the rule that you want to disable, and then, in the right pane, tap or click Disable Rule.

ZF-10509: Using the functionality of priority to give meaning to the log in the default error controller
Currently, the priority level used for logging is critical in all cases. It makes no sense, because there are differences between a error code 404 and 500 : * a code 500 represents a runtime exception * any resource that does not exist is redirected to the front controller. The traffic by robots or the search for files as the favicon for some browsers lead to an exception no controller. This could be an important source of spam * a typo or dead link can be the source of an exception no action * a configuration error on routes or only use static routes (or too specialized) should throw an exception no route
A code 500 should stay in critical priority, and we should lower the level at warning or notice for the code 404. This can be refined for code 404. An exception due to the absence of a route might need to be raised even in production.
Re-opening in order to re-assign fix version.

Diamond In The Rough?
After a disappointing loss in the afternoon game today, the Twins bounce back tonight with the debut of pitcher Scott Diamond, the twelve millionth (a slight exaggeration) Rochester Red Wing the team has used this season.
For whatever reason, I always get excited about a rookie pitcher making his starting debut. Remember the names Mike Smith and Dave Gassner? I do.
We can't lose two games to the Indians in one day, can we?!

Somerville, Mass. - The Somerville Health Foundation (SHF) has announced the recipients of this year's community funding. Cambridge Health Alliance CEO Patrick Wardell recently joined SHF trustees to award the grants and honor the 11 organizations that were selected for alignment with the SHF's priorities. Through this funding, the Foundation strives to promote and support the preventive health efforts to improve health outcomes of the residents of the City of Somerville, Massachusetts.
The major priorities for this year's grants are to address the following preventative health priorities, while also addressing local health disparity issues impacting Somerville residents: root causes of disease, health disparities and inequities in health; mental and emotional health, chronic stress prevention/interventions; protective factors to reduce substance abuse, decrease violence or improve mental health; and/or physical activity and food/nutrition programming, infrastructure and/or policy work related to obesity prevention and reduction of diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease.
The 11 nonprofit organizations were funded for a total of $32,900, with awards ranging from $1,500 to $4,000. This year's SHF grantees are the Community Action Agency of Somerville/Head Start Program, CASPAR, Groundwork Somerville, the Immigrant Service Providers Group/Health, Mystic Learning Center, Somerville Community Access Television, Somerville-Cambridge Elder Services, Somerville Council on Aging, the Center for Teen Empowerment, Universite D'Haiti, and The Welcome Project.
The types of programs made possible through this funding range across multiple populations and topics from supporting healthy nutrition through urban agriculture or cooking programs for kids to street outreach for homeless residents dealing with substance abuse. Fitness classes will serve LBT residents for a second year, while youth will meet for dialogues to prevent violence. Seniors and adults with disabilities will have medical advocacy and escorts for medical visits. Immigrants will be served by a range of programs including Spanish language video tools for training in leadership development, immunization promotion, local radio podcasts in Haitian Creole, and stress awareness and self-management.
The Somerville Health Foundation, a nonprofit corporation, was founded in 1996 shortly after Cambridge Hospital and Somerville Hospital merged to form Cambridge Health Alliance.

The Sound of Silence
The June 2005 issue of Ear & Hearing Journal published a study dismissing the link between firefighters' hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud, piercing sirens. One of the study's authors, William W. Clark of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, disclosed that he "provided consulting services for manufacturers of emergency firefighting equipment," but added "no external funding was received for this study." Now, documents turned up in a law suit filed by Chicago firefighters against Federal Signal Corp., which manufactures emergency equipment, show that lawyers for Federal Signal helped conceptualize the study and acquired the original data for Clark. Neither fact was disclosed in the study. The documents also showed Federal Signal lawyers paid Clark $9,300 in consulting fees while the study was underway and a $25,000 retainer for future testimony shortly after its publication. Attorneys for the firefighters have filed ethics complaints against Clark with the university and the editor of the journal. Neither Clark nor the journal editor returned CSPI's emails seeking comment.
Advocacy Group Finds FDA Drug and Device Panels Biased Toward Approval
The Food and Drug Administration's drug and device advisory panels almost always vote in favor of a product, even when members have concerns over its safety or effectiveness, a report released last week by the National Research Council for Women & Families concluded. The study looked at 11 committees from 1998 to 2005 that assessed controversial and innovative products - from gastrointestinal drugs to ophthalmic devices. Over the seven-year period, 79 percent of the 89 products reviewed received committee approval with 66 percent of the drugs and 75 percent of the devices receiving unanimous approval. The center attributed that history of favorable votes to the average panel harboring at least one individual with financial ties to the maker of the product which was under review. "[E]ven one committee member with a financial conflict of interest easily influences the votes of the entire committee," said Diana Zuckerman, executive director of the center. The group recommends the FDA "stop granting conflict-of-interest waivers for committee members, except under very restricted conditions," to restore faith in its advisory panels.
Clean Air Panel Overrides EPA; Calls for Stricter Standard on Ozone
An outside scientific expert panel last week unanimously overrode the Environmental Protection Agency staff's status quo recommendation on ozone. After a two-day review, the 23-member Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC) said new evidence showing adverse respiratory effects in sensitive groups such as children with asthma made the present ozone standard, which is 0.08 particles per million average over eight hours, obsolete. The panel is recommending an upper-end standard of 0.07 ppm, and a low-end range of 0.055 to 0.060 ppm. Environmental advocates are expecting that William Wehrum, acting Assistant Administrator for the EPA Office of Air and Radiation, who previously represented corporations on air pollution issues as a Washington attorney, will reject the recommendation and accept the staff report. CASAC will draft a formal letter submitting their consensus comments by September 18. EPA will issue a final report by the end of October.
Increasing User Fees Give Drug Makers Influence over FDA Drug-Review Process
The Food and Drug Administration wants to increase pharmaceutical companies' fees for underwriting FDA's costs for reviewing drug applications and for its facilities in the next year, which will increase the industry's influence over the agency's drug-review process, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal. Recent closed-door meetings between FDA and pharmaceutical officials, many of them former FDA employees, have proposed using higher fees for drug labeling and advertising oversight and beefed-up post-market drug safety monitoring. User fees for fiscal year 2004 generated $232 million, representing 53 percent of the total drug-review budget and a 25-fold increase since 1993. The large percentage of funding companies provide the FDA has translated into increased influence over the agency's regulatory operations. "There is no doubt that user fees give the industry leverage on setting the agency's priorities, because of the negotiating process," says Dr. Kessler, former head of the FDA, and now dean of the medical school at the University of California, San Francisco. "There are significant risks, especially when a growing percentage of the budget comes from user fees." For the next five-year agreement, which will begin Oct. 1, 2007, fees could cover 66 percent or more of the drug-review budget.
National Pork Board to Finance EPA's Study on Livestock Emissions
The swine industry and other commodity groups and livestock operations are funding a two-year study conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency which will determine which farms to target for emissions regulations, according to an article in the Des Moines Register. The agency is offering farmers protection from civil penalties, including fines or being sued by environmental groups, if they pay a fee anywhere from $200 to $100,000 to take part in the study. Businesses that fail to file emissions reports are liable to pay up to $27,500 a day. The EPA has signed on over 6,000 hog, poultry and dairy farms to take part in the $15.6 million study slated to run from April 2007 to March 2009. Environmental groups sued the EPA last year arguing the agreements are illegal and the lawsuit is still pending. "It means that all the neighbors that live next to these facilities have no hope of getting protected (until) at least 2010," when the EPA has had time to evaluate the study, said Kari Carney, rural community organizer with Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement.

Thanks for encouraging a healthy discussion around sex.
I think it's important to note that for women who have hormonal imbalances, many of these tips would not be adequate to get them in the mood. In our practice treating female sexual dysfunction, we often meet women over 40 who report having a very low libido and dryness. Some of them thought the issue was with the relationship or boredom with the partner, when in fact it was a hormonal issues that could be easily remedied.
Middle-aged couples should feel excited to be entering a new stage of life, but a sexless relationship can be painfully depressing. Fortunately, there is help out there and women should feel empowered to take control of their sex lives. They deserve it!
Rachel Hercman, LCSW

One of the best ways to learn new sex techniques is to always remain open to adventure and exploration with your partner. It takes a certain degree of trial and error to develop and refine technique. Have fun and play with experimentation. Don't strive for perfection, just enjoy the journey.

The first tip to stop premature ejaculation lies in reduction of anxiety before the sexual activity, with being calm with meditation, self imagery exercises and hypnosis working in many. It is a well established fact that infrequent sex could be one of the reasons for getting excessively aroused and excited. Self imagery with positive sexual experiences and interactions and meditation can be done by one's own self and it has helped many to manage anxiety of sex and premature ejaculation.

Demi Moore
Roswell, New Mexico
I'm sure there are a lot of people who think I'm a bitch.
Following a few seasons on the soap General Hospital, Demi Moore turned heads with her appearances in St. Elmo's Fire (1985), Ghost (1990), Indecent Proposal (1993), Disclosure (1994), Striptease (1996), G.I. Jane (1997), and as the villain in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003). She's garnered the most attention, however, for being the 15-years-his-senior wife to Ashton Kutcher for the past six years. But now with the couple's famous May-December relationship now over, Demi's own future in Hollywood seems bleak.
For the next two years, she portrayed Jackie Templeton on the daytime soap opera General Hospital. In 1984, she could be seen in No Small Affair, as well as with Michael Caine in the comedy Blame It on Rio.
Demi Moore's big break came as a member of the Brat Pack when she starred with them in St. Elmo's Fire (1985). The following year, she appeared in About Last Night..., Wisdom and One Crazy Summer with John Cusack. After the supernatural thriller The Seventh Sign (1988), she acted alongside Sean Penn and Robert De Niro in We're No Angels (1989).
She became a superstar in 1990 when she snatched the lead female role in Ghost, playing Patrick Swayze's widow. 1991 was a disappointing year for Demi Moore with three stinkers: Nothing But Trouble, Mortal Thoughts and The Butcher's Wife.
She was soon back in top form with A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993) with Robert Redford, and Disclosure (1994). Following 1995's The Scarlet Letter and Now and Then, she kept busy with The Juror, Striptease, the HBO movie If These Walls Could Talk, as well as voice work in Beavis and Butt-Head Do America and The Hunchback of Notre Dame as Esmeralda, a role she reprised in the 2002 sequel.
In 1997, Demi Moore was in the Woody Allen comedy Deconstructing Harry and she shaved her head to play a Navy SEAL in G.I. Jane. Her next films were Passion of Mind (2000) and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and (2003), opposite Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu.
In 2006, Demi Moore had roles in Bobby as well as Half Light, and she followed that up with Flawless and Mr. Brooks in '07.
In addition to being a producer on some of the movies she has starred in, it's also interesting to note that she produced all three of Mike Myers' hugely successful Austin Powers movies.
Demi Moore BiographyDemetria Gene Guynes was born on the November 11, 1962, in Roswell, New Mexico. Not only was her family poverty stricken, but her entire family life wasn't much to cheer about. The future soap opera actress' childhood was a drama in itself.
By the time she was 18, Demi Moore's family had experienced divorce, poverty, alcoholism, and suicide. Her father left the family before she was born and her mother married Danny Guynes, a newspaper ad salesman. His unstable job forced the family to move around from time to time, and whatever money he did make was lost to gambling.
Demi Moore Works As Model
To add to her less than positive upbringing, her cross-eyed condition, which was finally corrected thanks to two operations, did not help her much. After her surgery, Demi Moore used her looks to earn some money modeling in Europe (after dropping out of high school), and put her now trademark raspy voice to work as a collection agent.
Demi Moore's 18th year was marked with a funeral and a wedding. Her father committed suicide, and Demi Moore married rock musician Freddy Moore, who was 12 years her senior. Her short-lived marriage did more than make Demi "Mrs. Moore"; it's what led her to pursue an acting career. Demi and Freddy lived next door to actress Nastassja Kinski, who inspired Demi Moore to become an actress.
demi moore on general hospitalDemi Moore earned her start as an actress on the soap opera General Hospital (which also later triggered the career of Vanessa Marcil). After appearing in a few unsuccessful films and as Michael Caine's daughter in Blame It on Rio, Demi Moore left General Hospital in 1984.
That same year, she became a member of the Brat Pack with a role in St. Elmo's Fire. For a while, she played a dual role as a cocaine addict, both on- and off-screen; she finally kicked the habit after receiving an ultimatum from the film's director. The '80s were marked with an engagement to Emilio Estevez, a marriage to Bruce Willis and some more film roles, but none as memorable as her role in Ghost.
demi moore in ghostDemi Moore's star rose to the top of the box office after the commercial and critical success of 1990s romantic tearjerker, Ghost. Her role in the courtroom drama A Few Good Men (1992), costarring heavy hitters Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise, secured her standing in Hollywood and made audiences forgive her for her 1991 roles in Mortal Thoughts, Nothing But Trouble and The Butcher's Wife.
In 1993, Demi Moore starred in Indecent Proposal, which garnered her an MTV Movie Award for Best Onscreen Kiss (shared with Woody Harrelson). The next year, she costarred with Michael Douglas in Disclosure, in which her physical assets were disclosed to audiences worldwide.
What followed were a string of box-office disappointments, with The Scarlet Letter (1995), Now and Then (1995) and The Juror (1996). The buzz and hype surrounding her controversial film Striptease (1996) were the only reasons to flock to the theaters -- well, aside from the obvious fact that Demi Moore was playing a stripper. This was the film that placed Demi Moore among the highest paid female actresses, with a salary of $12.5 million.
demi does striptease and g.i. janeAfter her role in Striptease, Demi Moore disappeared from the spotlight, only to resurface with the lead role in G.I. Jane (1997) and a highly publicized separation from her husband of 11 years, Bruce Willis (in 1998). The couple had three daughters -- Rumer Glenn, Scout LaRue and Tallulah Belle.
Demi Moore's time in the spotlight is also due to her behavior in the media. She appeared nude in the '80s for the magazine Oui and twice on the cover of Vanity Fair; once while seven months pregnant and a second time covered in body paint.
Demi Moore also appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman before the release of Striptease wearing nothing but a bikini and the "Top Ten" list cards covering her, successfully disproving rumors that she was too fat to appear in the movie. And just as the Demi-hype calmed down in the media, she again proved to audiences that she was fit enough to star as a Navy SEAL in G.I. Jane by doing one-arm push-ups on the Late Show.

After reprising her role as Esmeralda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame II in 2002 (by lending her voice) and hooking up in real life with much-younger Ashton Kutcher, she made her much-anticipated screen comeback as the villain in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle in 2003.

Well into her 40s, Demi Moore is in her prime, looking sexier than ever. In 2006, she added Half Light and Bobby to her resume. And in 2007 she starred alongside Kevin Costner in Mr. Brooks.
demi moore Announces An End To Her Marriage
In late September of 2011, rumors spread through the tabloids that Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were divorcing, with Kutcher allegedly hooking up with another woman, Sara Leal, on the night of his sixth wedding anniversary with Moore. Ashton allegedly hooked up with Leal back in June of 2011 too, with photos of the two leaving a bar together circulating online. Time will tell if Kutcher and Moore actually call it quits.
After a series of cryptic Twitter posts and then a few weeks of radio silence, Demi Moore announced on November 17th that "with a heavy heart," she intended to end her six-year marriage to Ashton Kutcher.

Mek, we had the opposite reaction to Shadow. I
the first 80% of the book, but found the last 20% flawed with the big misunderstanding. I think Cole mainly used it as a device to bring in Lothaire to do a little marriage counseling. I thought Tre's actions didn't fit into his character after being so intellectual, patient and thoughtful as to how to win the games and Bettina. He sort of becomes a cranky drama queen at the end of the competition instead of doing his usual research. I would have graded the book a solid A if it wasn't for that last conflict, but I dropped it to an A- by the wrap up.
I agree with that - there was this moment where Bettina makes what I considered to be a very dumb decision on how to handle something and I also thought Trehan's response was very OOC. The conflict then ended up being very contrived and I also didn't like his groveling at the end because he had chased after her the entire book and I thought he deserved more dignity than that.
PS- Salem annoyed me a tad a first, but by the end he won me over and I assume he will be a character in the upcoming books. Perhaps that balance puts the book back to A territory for me.
I think I might have enjoyed him more if I hadn't been thinking, "Oh good Lord, another mysterious character with a mysterious past. This better not be setting him for his own book."

Ah Lothaire!! Yes, I think he's a jerk as well. BUT, I enjoy him as a character. hee! hee! He can be pretty funny. There were some great lines in his book. I think Elizabeth can handle him!
I guess the main trouble I had with Shadow's Claim: I usually like an upstanding, honest, real hero for a leading man, but in this case he seemed kinda dull to me. Certainly, until the end battle (no spoilers here!) there were few surprises.
As far as the big mis being illogical, I can see why he drew the conclusion he did. The pieces fit, especially to a tired, blood hungry, angry person. Should he have talked to her about it and not just left? Of course! That's where it fell apart. That's where the "big mis" ALWAYS falls apart; no honest communication. I don't care what kind of book it is: contemporary, historical, paranormal, etc...
Also, the plane was so self contained and such a backwater, it was not very interesting. I kept wishing they would go off plane and crazy things would happen to them! Instead, she makes warrior jewelry, he wins battles....

Does it bother you more that the ascension is a unfinished storyline or do you feel like you've been hanging on to see a specific character get their story Nix, Furie.. .?
Both of these things bother me. I really don't want to wait years for somebody to haul poor Furie up off the ocean floor.
But there's also the larger question of the overall series arch. It's already a very long series and the ascension hasn't even formally started. While each book in the series may be satisfying on their own I don't think the whole series will be a total success if they don't plot out the overall story in a coherent and balanced way. I almost feel as if she's losing control of the series as more and more characters and side plots are introduced.
How many more books will be necessary to complete the story at this point? How many more can we read in this world before the whole thing collapses under the weight of all these characters? Although I have enjoyed reading about the same events from different characters' POVs (particularly in the Woede brothers' books) I don't think this technique is going to work much longer if the larger story doesn't advance more rapidly.
Justin managed to look superior and bored and disbelieving all at once. No mean feat for a man who'd just fallen from a tree.

This is why I was so surprised about this "new" Dacian series. There was nothing new, and Shadow's Claim did not really advance the story arc much. We did find out another "race" of beings was going to join the Vertus faction. Other than that, it felt like filler.

Shadow's Claim
was another great entry in the IAD world for me, it did not disappoint at all. The hero was so kick-ass I couldn't see him as bland and I loved that he unashamedly and clearly fell hard for the heroine. His meltdown towards the end was satisfactorily explained to me to be a result of stress, lack of sleep and nourishment and battle fugue. I found Bettina a very appealing heroine, also, and I particularly liked her jewelry/arms crafting skills. It was also fun to see a glimpse of Sabine.
Regarding all KC's heroines being beautiful, I didn't get the feeling that Bettina was beautiful, more that Trahan thought she was. In fact, it was mentioned more than once that the men fighting for her hand and throne didn't want her, they wanted the crown. This doesn't imply that she's gorgeous and that she was lusted after. Shadow's Claim may be filler, but for me that's only in the best sense of the word. KC can write as many books in the Lore as she wants, as long as they continue to rock my reading mojo.

Oct. 28, 2003
The Arizona State men's and women's cross country teams travel to the Great Northwest and Pullman, Wash., for the 2003 Pac-10 Championships, Saturday at the Washington State Golf Course. The Sun Devil women are ranked No. 4 in the nation while the men are No. 15. Both squads will look to unseat No. 1 ranked Stanford for their first conference titles.
Washington State plays host to the annual championship event with four races slated. The men's open 8,000m race will start at 10 a.m. while the women's open 6,000m race will begin at 11 a.m. The races that determine the conference's champions start at Noon with the 35th annual men's 8,000m run and the 18th annual women's 6,000m run at 1 p.m. For results and more information, visit www.WSUCougars.com.
Following record rankings two weeks ago, both the women and men slid down the polls after taking a week off from competition. The women slipped from No. 3 to No. 4 in the Oct. 20 rankings while the men dropped from No. 12 to No. 15 in the Oct. 21 release. There will be no rankings released until next week. The women have now been ranked in 40 consecutive weeks dating back to Oct. 12, 1998, also the first date the women earned a national ranking.
Five men's teams and three women's teams in the Pac-10 Conference hold national Top 30 rankings as of the polls released last week. On the men's side, Stanford, the defending NCAA Champions, are No. 1 with Arizona (14), ASU (15), Oregon (18) and Washington (27) rounding out the ranked teams. For the women, Stanford also is No.1 with ASU (4) and UCLA (15) trailing in the polls.
The women recorded their best finish at the Pac-10 Championships when they captured second with a program-record 59 points. In the past four years, the women have finished as the runners-up three times. Individually, Jessica Scalzo finished sixth overall as a true freshman while the Top 5 scorers claimed finishes in the Top 16 of the race.
ASU's men finished third last year and earned their fifth Top 4 finish in a row. The team was led by Fasil Bizuneh's 10th place-finish as the Sun Devils finished its five scorers in the Top 40.
Arizona State will again head to the Pac-10 Championships in search of their first individual and team titles. Since 1980, the men have come close to winning an individual title twice with Fasil Bizuneh (2001) and Todd Lewis (1991) placing second. The women saw Lisa Aguilera (2000) take runner-up honors as well. On the team side of things, the women have finished second three times (2002, 2000 and 1999) while the men have been runners-up once (2001).
By winning the Arizona State Invitational (10/18/03), the women secured their second team title of the year, marking the eighth time in history the Sun Devils have more than one team title. ASU won twice in 2001, 1999, 1993, 1992, 1990, 1982 and 1981.
The men and women have seen its runners cross the finish line early and often this year. The women have had 10 runners finish in the Top 5 including two wins while the men have had seven. The women's total ties the 1999 mark as the most in a single season while the men's total is the most in a season.
The men fielded a 'B' team at the Canyon West and placed third of three teams with 63 points, missing runner-up honors by one point. Freshman BIlly Smith led the men with a 19th place-finish with Jeremy Cramer taking 22nd. In the women's race, only Alvina Begay competed and placed eighth in the race.
After a week off from competition, the Sun Devils will head to Portland, Ore., for the NCAA West Region Championships, Nov. 15. The Top 2 teams advance automatically to the NCAA Championships (Nov. 24) while the Top 3 individuals on teams not qualifying for the national meet also advance.

Focus T25 Nutrition Guide Review
The Focus T25 nutrition plan also includes a "Nutrition Trouble Shooting" section. It labels foods that are higher in carbs and meals that are higher in proteins, then provides you with scenarios and situations that each may be more beneficial. For example, if you have a lot of fat to lose, you should be eating the meals marked with the P for higher protein. The "Nutrition Trouble Shooting" part of the Focus T25 nutrition guide also will give you personal challenge scenarios and what foods to overcome them. For example, if you are having a food cravings all day, eat a high protein breakfast, or a breakfast marked with P. I consider myself very knowledgeable with nutrition and typically know what to eat when, but this section of the guide gave me some really good advice and tips that has helped me considerably.
The Focus T25 Meal Plan also gives you 25 "keep it real" foods. These are normal foods that you can have at your home that are ready to eat. That is one thing I like about the T25 meal plan, the food doesn't seem exotic. There are a few ingredients that may seem strange to some, but are normal foods if you're already on the path of eating right.
Now on to the actual food part. The Focus T25 Nutrition Guide actually comes with 25 different recipes, all with 5 ingredients or less that can be prepped in about 5 minutes. Most of the recipes are simple, but are actually really good. I will admit that I have already prepared or had most of the meals in the guide, but there were a few that were new to me that I really enjoyed. Keep in mind, I already eat pretty healthy, but I was able to pick up some new ideas. You will be surprised how many more meals you will come up with once you get a grasp for the meal style. Once you understand the ingredients and how the meals are prepped in the Focus T25 meal guide, you will be able to start creating your own meals. It's not just hand holding, but also education so you can start making your own delicious healthy creations!
One other thing I really like about the T25 Nutrition Guide, is the fact that he incorporates different Shakeology recipes. If you don't know what Shakeology is, make sure to check out our full review below. I am a very strong believer in the power of Shakeology. Incorporating it into the T25 meal plan was genius. You don't have to use Shakeology, but if you want to greatly increase the speed and amount of your results, you will want to check it out!

Focus T25 Meal Plan Review
What I don't like.
Nothing is perfect, and although the Focus T25 meal plan is fantastic it's not a long term solution. It gives you meals, if you eat them with your Focus T25 workout, you will lose weight. The problem is, there is not really much in teaching. You don't gain a lot of knowledge about how to eat in the future and make the right choices. The meals it comes with are great, but what happens when you need to come up with more meals? I could not have got the results I have achieved without learning the science around how my body works and what foods make it work better. Which foods I need to eat to make my body burn fat faster. That's where the Fat Loss 4 Idiots comes in. It's a program that is going to teach you how to eat right and turn your body into a fat burning furnace. Combine this with Focus T25 meal plan and any other workout, and you are going to get results that will surpass your wildest expectations. Check out the amazing eating program below!

When Deidre Purcell crossed the finish line in the MORE half-marathon this past April, the 45-year-old had already embarked on another kind of long-distance challenge: As one of the winners of MORE's Vtrim Online contest, she had recently enrolled in a comprehensive, six-month weight-loss plan.
Created by the University of Vermont, Vtrim is a 24-week weight management program that provides an unusual amount of support. After you enroll, a certified facilitator provides you with a daily target of calories and fat grams; you keep track of your efforts with a daily log. Every week, you participate in online meetings in which you discuss weight-loss topics with your instructor and other participants who are trying to shed pounds.
Purcell says the program (which is free for her but normally costs $695) has helped her stay focused on her weight-loss goals. Despite being an active person, she had put on 14 pounds over the last few years; when she started with Vtrim, the scale read 154. Tight clothes weren't her only worry: "We have a lot of family health issues," explains the Clifton Park, New York, resident. "My sister has multiple sclerosis, my mom had diabetes, and both my brother-in-law and mother had brain tumors. After my mom passed away in 2007, I knew I had to get healthy. I wanted to dedicate my efforts to her."
It wasn't always easy. "I'm a nervous eater," she admits. "It was hard to get back into the swing of things." As an insurance adjuster and the mother of two teens, Madison, 13, and Corey, 15, Purcell was constantly on the go, grabbing takeout instead of cooking healthy dinners. Improving her exercise routine seemed easier, which is how she found herself in the MORE half-marathon in April 2009.
"I hated running," she says. "Hated it. But I challenged myself to do it. It was the first step toward reclaiming my life."
After she began training for this year's race, Purcell knew she still needed a push to correct her eating habits. Winning the Vtrim contest gave her the inspiration she needed to rededicate herself to health. "Writing everything down gave me a clear, conscious look at what I was consuming. Once I saw what I was putting in my body, that was it for me."
With the support of her Vtrim facilitator, Blanche, Purcell has lost six pounds in 12 weeks. "Blanche is like my weight-management coach. Every week she targets different barriers to getting healthy, and shows you how to journal, to exercise, and to be more conscious about what you eat. I love it."
Today, Purcell says, her outlook on life is brighter than ever. "Since I started doing all of this, I feel so much better, physically and emotionally," she reflects. "I've got more energy, and I feel more in control of everything. In fact, I'm looking for my next challenge. It makes you think, 'If I can do this, what else can I do?"
Meet our other winners
Catherine Skrinak
Age: 45
Hometown: Henderson, Nevada
Starting weight: 184
Current weight: 165
Catherine Skrinak was angry when she entered MORE's contest. "I was disgusted with myself," she remembers. "I'd yo-yo dieted all my life, and had gained all the weight back again." It was a few days after the 17th anniversary of her father's death, and it dawned on her that her eating spiraled out of control when he died: "People brought all this food over—and I never stopped eating," she explains. "Even when I healed, this was the one thing I could not put back together." On Vtrim, however, Skrinak started to track her daily intake. "I was dreading the structure, but it worked," she admits. Soon she found herself preparing an entire week's worth of healthy meals ahead of time, and going for lunchtime walks at the lab where she works as a quality assurance technician. "What it comes down to is you and whether you're doing the work," she says. "There's no magic pill. It will work—if you do it."
Best lesson learned: It's okay to eat anything you want—just not all of it.
Brenda Wooten
Age: 47
Hometown: Humboldt, IA
Starting weight: 208
Current weight: 203
From the moment her son Dylan was born 15 years ago, Brenda Wooten immediately started putting his needs first—and she continued to do so when she divorced his dad a few years later. When she came across MORE's contest, the grocery store employee was ready to start dating again, but really wanted to lose some weight first. "I've been heavy most of my life, and have tried every diet out there—some of them twice," Wooten explains. "I have a love-hate relationship with food." Taking the weekly classes, and being able to chat with other dieters in the program, made a difference for her. "It's nice knowing that there are other people out there in the same boat as you, with the same struggles," she says. "We encourage each other. Whenever I am having a rough day, or a rough week, they give me a pat on the back. I finally have a support system."
Best lesson learned: Life is not The Biggest Loser. Seek progress—not perfection.

Watch a video about student participation
Meet Tih-Fen Ting
Associate Professor, Environmental Studies
- Ph.D. Natural Resources and Environment: University of Michigan
- Before coming to Illinois, I had lived in Taiwan, California, Ohio and Michigan. I enjoy visiting different places and meeting different people. I love the outdoor and nature; I also love reading. My husband and I have a cat with quite a personality and a very sweet goldendoodle; we enjoy their company very much.
Interesting facts:
- I am bilingual – fluent in both English and Mandarin Chinese.
- I wanted to become a field biologist working in the tropical rain forests when I was in college, but now I'm a professor.
Research interests:
- Population-environment interactions, sustainability studies and reconciliation ecology.
Major project underway:
- On campus, I am involved in a study of our green roof (on Founders Residence Hall) and restoration of the Prairie.
- I am also studying the environmental history of Danshui River in northern Taiwan and the ecological demography of China.
Learning philosophy:
- Learning is a lifetime endeavor; one cannot be too old to learn. Learning also requires curiosity and open-mindedness.
Why is student participation so important?
Advice to prospective students:
- A job is important, but think about life, not just a job. We can have many jobs, but we only have one life. The college years are when you can seriously explore the meaning of life and what you want your life to be as an individual and as a member of the social group. Let the kind of life you would like to lead decide your job, not the other way around.
- Also learn to write well. Read, read, read. You are young, and your brains still have tremendous capacity – don't waste it!

By Ron Honberg, NAMI Director of Policy and Legal Affairs
The new head of Michigan's Department of Corrections recently made national news when he expressed concerns about the extent to which his department's resources are used to provide mental health to inmates.
On August 21, it was reported in the Detroit News that Dan Heyns, director of Michigan's Department of Corrections wanted to work with sheriffs, prosecutors and local officials to ensure that fewer people living with mental illnesses come to prison.
"I've got institutions that are just packed with people who are very, very seriously mentally ill", Heyns said. "These aren't stress cases. I can't exactly provide a therapeutic environment."
Jails and prisons are the worst possible environments for people struggling with the symptoms of severe mental illnesses. Prisons are ill-equipped to provide effective psychiatric treatment. Inmates with the most severe mental illnesses are too often isolated in administrative segregation, special housing units, super-max prisons and other forms of solitary confinement. The long term isolation of individuals experiencing delusions, hallucinations or other severe psychiatric symptoms has been characterized as being akin to torture.
Sadly, the problems highlighted by Director Heyns are not unique to Michigan. A recent study revealed that about 17.1 of male inmates and 34.3 percent of female inmates in local jails throughout the country live with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or PTSD. When compared to figures for the general population this is roughly a 470 percent increase in prevalence for both men and women.
So what can be done to achieve Director Heyns vision that fewer individuals living with mental illnesses come to prison to begin with?
Some would respond that we need to take a close look at our nation's treatment laws. Until the 1960s, people living with serious mental illnesses were virtually devoid of civil rights protections and were frequently institutionalized for long periods of time with no due process or right to appeal. Fortunately, these egregious civil rights abuses are a thing of the past.
There are many who believe that the laws have gone too far in the other direction, asserting that requiring proof of immediate or imminent danger to self or others means that certain people will not get help when they need it the most. Not everyone agrees. Many argue equally strenuously that the laws should remain as they are, citing continuing abuses and civil rights violations in hospitals, adult care homes, and other settings as evidence that we need to maintain strict, narrow civil commitment standards.
Irrespective of how you feel about these complex issues, the overall lack of mental health services and supports across the country is beyond dispute. Even during the best of economic times, the availability of good mental health services has been limited in the US, particularly for those who rely on the public mental health system for their care. In 2006 and 2009, before the full impact of the economic crisis, NAMI gave the nation's mental health system a grade of "D" in its Grading the States 2006 and 2009 reports.
Unfortunately, the economic recession has only made these problems worse. In March, 2011, NAMI released a report entitled State Mental Health Cuts: A National Crisis. This report revealed cuts to non-Medicaid state mental health spending of nearly $1.6 billion dollars between 2009 and 2011, with even deeper cuts projected for 2012. These cuts have led to the erosion of vital inpatient and community services for tens of thousands of youth and adults living with the most serious mental illnesses. Hospital beds have been eliminated and in many parts of the country, there are virtually no community services available either.
Not surprisingly, these cuts have added to already considerable burdens faced by law enforcement and correction centers. In Nevada, Judge Jackie Glass, who runs the Clark County (Las Vegas) Mental Health Court implored legislators not to impose further cuts on mental health services. She testified that "you will see … people [who lose mental health services] ending up in prisons, jails, emergency rooms, homeless…"
In Sacramento County, California, U.S. District Court Judge John A. Mendez went further, blocking the county from cutting mental health services as a way to balance the budget. He stated that the county's budget cutting plan would cause "catastrophic harm" and violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The U.S. is clearly at a pivotal moment in its history. Solutions to the budget crisis are not easy. However, one thing is clear: Indiscriminate cuts to mental health budgets will not save money, but cost more in the long run. Cuts of the magnitude that have occurred will continue to perpetuate the national disgrace of incarcerating people for the "crime" of having a serious mental illness. We should pay heed to Director Heyns, Judge Glass, Judge Mendez and others on the front lines responding to people in crisis. A civilized, advanced nation must do better for its most vulnerable citizens.

Hi, obviously I'm having a problem with my NXT with LeJOS.
Everything seemed to work, ant ran, LeJOS firmware was properly uploaded, I can compile a program with nxjc, but when I send the file to the NXT brick with the nxj -r file (with no extension), I can not see that it is run OR even sent. The console output says Linking... Uploading... Upload successful in 205 milliseconds like it should, but there is no program to run in the "Files" menu on the NXT.
I am using Sun Java 6 on Linux (Arch) within a VM on VMware 5.5 (although I don't think the VM stuff is making it not work, because the firmware was uploaded on the brick with no problem).

Wow kg. Failure.
This brings up a great point: Why do people delete almost every drama-inducing thread made?

** Manifest **
Photo courtesy of Whitney Martin
One of the things which my recent releasing was meant to make room for is a tribe of 'gurus'. I have had this on my heart for a long time, but it has always been coupled with the quiet idea that it wasn't time because I didn't have it in me to give the time outside of my home and family yet. Not a very powerful way to manifest something. This year it was a deep call to the Powers That Be to help me manifest that thing which I so desire, and boy has that call been answered. It has been less than two weeks and I find myself surrounded with compelling, dynamic, successful men and women. The startling, and disquieting realization was that, though I recognized these people immediately as the 'guru mentors' I had been waiting for, each of them counts me coequal.
There is a repetition and sameness in the underlying message in each of our conversations, and oooh, is it one that makes me writhe and try to turn away on the inside. Some are more blunt than others... it's a personality thing. I imagine one whistling a at me - tough Jersey style - 'Yo! Whadda ya doin? Get ta work! Stop with all the mansy pansy 'oh, wah, who am I?' Crap and do what you were put here to do!'
Then for comfort I turn to another who strokes my hair with sweet lovey words, and brings me around to see a glimpse of what they see, 'See, Hon? It's you already. This is a gift. Not only do you really want it, not only were you meant to do it, but you already are. See sweetie, it's all good. No worries. Just do your thing.'
It makes me laugh right out loud. They each give me this lovely gift too... a glimpse of what I'm not seeing in them... a human imperfectness... they let me see their own struggles, their own perceived failures. They take the pain, the power sucking shame, from my own 'failures', and let me stumble forward feeling like I can breathe again... feeling the truth of my dreams again.
Just like that I have my tribe, and I can feel more coming. I can feel more waiting for me to stop resisting, stop running, and really settle into my space so that I can receive them. It's a feeling so strong, of such power, that I have been mistaking it for many months... truly it's been coming on for years. Power like that, stifled, feels like panic. It's not fun. It's been coursing into me and I have been plum refusing to let it flow out of me in some creative effort. Like I've been sitting on my hands - 'nope, not gonna do it - gonna just sit here and suffer it instead.'
It's so human. It's not really like me though. That kind of fear, self-doubt, and refusal to roll with inspiration is not my style. Another of those things I had pointed out to me recently.
My whole life is a series of powerful decisions, followed by certain and efficient action, equating to success at that venture. Yet, here I have been sitting with the things I want to do more than anything else... ideas that are more flushed out than any I've ever had, and I stuff them and hide them under the mattress 'for protection' and wonder why I can't sleep. It all feels so comical suddenly. So obviously and totally silly.
The big message that everyone is carrying for me: Stop looking for teachers and realize that you already have all that you need to teach those very subjects. You lack CONFIDENCE and reality, not credentials.
A 3 kid + husband meltdown caused me to lose the thought I believed was my end point here, but as I sat trying to draw it back to myself I instead wound up with a head full of all of the powerfully inspiring women who have come into my life that have not been able to connect with me because I assume that they would not want to. Translation -they offer themselves up and I respond with an impersonal wimpy reply so as not to 'overstep my place.'
Yeah, 2012 is my year of confidence and focused work. It's my year of Achievement. Even if fear caused me to delete that statement and wince as I retyped it. ;-)
Ah, Lovlies, I know you are out there. Even when you don't let me hear you. ;-)

Baltimore County News
John Van Ness
Associate Engineer, Baltimore County Bureau of Utilities
How do you inspect more than 60 miles of pressurized sewer pipelines when they are all underground and must continue operating during the inspection? As with so many issues in our modern world, we turn to technology.
Baltimore County Bureau of Utilities operates more than a hundred Sewage Pump Stations, each with at least one pressurized pipe (called a force main) to transfer sewage to a gravity sewer main or another pump station, eventually ending up at a either the Back River or Patapsco wastewater treatment plants. The total combined length of pump station force mains is 62 miles and the longest of them are over 3 miles in length. Inspecting these force mains is a challenge because there is no access along the length of the pipe, only at either end. In addition, they must remain in operation and they are typically buried underground where they cannot be observed. With advanced technology Baltimore County is inspecting these mains while they remain in operation and learning more about potential problems that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
The Pure Technologies PipeDiver inspection tool is a 15-foot long, 3-sectioned submarine that uses electromagnetic instruments to determine overall pipe strength and can identify any problem areas to within several feet. We were the first agency to ever use this free-swimming tool that is put in the pipe at the station while the station is operating and is caught at the other end in a specially constructed cage in the gravity manhole. With what is learned from the PipeDiver we can make educated decisions on whether to replace a force main, repair it or re-inspect at a later date.
The SmartBall tool, also from Pure Technologies, uses sound recording and advanced location technology to find leaks and air pockets in force mains. A leak is an obvious problem but air pockets will trap corrosive gases that will corrode and weaken pipe unseen on the outer surface of the pipe. The SmartBall comes in sizes from 4 inches to 7 inches and like its name, it looks like a blue foam toy "Nerf" ball. The ball is put in the force main at the station and rolls along the pipe counting rotations and recording the specific sound signatures that indicate a leak or air pocket. It is caught much the same way as the pipe diver but often a crab or fish net is used just as effectively as a cage.
When the station has enough capacity or the force main is short enough that we can turn off the pumps to do an inspection we can use robotic tools to inspect pipe as well. These will have a combination of the above technology in addition to a closed-circuit TV camera. The largest one we have used is 6 feet long, weighs 300 pounds and looks like a miniature tank complete with two sets of tracks and an articulated camera.
Replacing force mains is expensive, and the use of advanced technology is allowing the County to reduce maintenance costs by only replacing those portions of pipe that need replacing and taking action before breaks might occur.

ZF-7937: Translate helper doesn't apply "options" if no translator is defined
When no translator is defined,
translate("this is a string %s", $string);
does not work, because it returns the $messageid itself. If no translator is defined, Zend_View_Helper_Translate::translate() should return
vsprintf($messageid, $options) to avoid this problem.
Assigning to Thomas.
But translate returns the messageid as is, which is expected behaviour.
When you have no option defined you will get a warning with your change which is more problematic than knowing that no translator is attached.
Changed from bug to improvement
Feature implemented with r18387

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cauchy813 Love them! To be honest I ordered the set for the giraffe, but the elephant is so cute too. They are very handy to have by the sinks for the rings. I would highly recommend. February 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by eilatan Fashion more than function They are pretty adorable and do the general job that they are meant for. I love it because you can't go wrong with a mini elephant and giraffe, but the base is very small so you can't fit rings at the base, which I was expecting, I suppose. Otherwise, you hang rings on their neck/trunk and it's pretty adorable. January 24, 2013

Aastrom Biosciences is picking up Sanofi's Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine (CTRM) business for $6.5 million, gaining global commercial rights to three autologous cell therapy products:
The companies say that revenues of Carticel, Epicel, and MACI were $44 million in 2013. Aastrom says it is also getting manufacturing and production centers in the U.S. and Denmark as part of the deal. The firms are planning to close the acquisition in around three weeks.
"The acquisition of Sanofi's CTRM business is a transformative transaction that positions Aastrom as a fully-integrated global regenerative medicine company," Aastrom's CEO and president Nick Colangelo said in a statement. This acquisition comes more than one year after the firm announced it would lay off half its workforce and cut its operating expenses by half after halting a late-stage trial for ixmyelocel-T, a critical limb ischemia candidate, due to problems with patient enrollment.
