BOULDER - After being manhandled twice by Stanford in their first Pac-12 Conference season, the Colorado Buffaloes struck back Thursday night - hard, early and often.
Leading from opening tip to final buzzer, the Buffs bashed the Cardinal 75-54 at the Coors Events Center before 11,212 - the fourth largest crowd in school history. It was CU's first win against Stanford in six tries, with the Buffs' last victory coming on Dec. 23, 1990 in Boulder.
Despite the five straight losses to Stanford - and particularly the pair last season - CU coach Tad Boyle downplayed any revenge factor that might have motivated his team. "It was sweet," said Boyle, "because I respect Stanford and (coach) Johnny Dawkins . . . but relative to what happened last year - no."
What happened last year actually occurred twice - once at Stanford, once in Boulder. The Cardinal won big in both places, 84-64 and 74-50, respectively. And the Buffs were brutalized both times, outrebounded by a combined 85-53 total and shredded defensively as the Cardinal shot a cumulative 50 percent from the field.
Thursday night's story unfolded much differently, even if the physicality remained high. Said Boyle: "It was a bloodbath out there . . . it was one of those games where you had to put the ball in the basket. We told our guys at timeouts not to look for fouls."
There were 36 called and what appeared to be an equal number uncalled. But the Buffs, improving to 8-1 this season in the Events Center and 40-5 at home in Boyle's third season, followed their coach's advice and didn't depend on whistles.
Instead, they relied on balanced scoring - all five starters were in double figures - tenacious rebounding by junior Andre Roberson and steely defense. Roberson tied a career high with 20 of the Buffs' 48 rebounds (the Cardinal collected 30) and added 12 points.
"We fed off Andre tonight . . . (he) was a beast and played like the Andre we know and love. He was after it from the get-go" Boyle said.
Roberson's energy seemed unlimited and spilled over to the entire starting lineup. Sophomore Askia Booker scored a team-high 13, including eight consecutive points midway through the second half when Stanford closed to within eight. Freshman Josh Scott and sophomore Spencer Dinwiddie also scored 12 points each, while freshman Xavier - it's OK to call him "Jam" - Johnson contributed 11.
Making his fifth start, "XJ" also was a power source for CU, getting eight of his points on dunks that left the big crowd delirious. "He gave us big-time energy," said Boyle. "Those dunks got us going."
If Boyle downplayed any revenge factor, Booker said one was present "without a doubt . . . the coaches were talking about how bad they beat us on the boards last year."
Added Roberson: "I definitely feel like we had a lot to prove . . . we came out tonight and put it on them."
Roberson controlled the glass but had help. Booker and Dinwiddie accounted for seven rebounds, and Sabatino Chen came off the bench to collect six to go with his seven points. CU's bench outscored Stanford's 15-13, and the Buffs prevailed in the paint 44-20.
The Cardinal guards - Aaron Bright and Chasson Randle - were held to a combined 7-for-29 from the field. Randle led Stanford with 15 points, but he hit only five of his 21 attempts. And as a team, Stanford shot 31.3 percent (20-for-64) from the field, giving Boyle the edge he craves nightly in defense and rebounding.
Dawkins said CU "played with terrific energy and they moved well. They just defended well. I thought a tone was set from the beginning."
Wanting a good start, the Buffs couldn't have had a better one. Scoring on their first nine possessions, they went up 16-5, with Johnson's first jam of the night - a baseline drive from the left side - getting CU to 16.
After his first slam, "XJ" wasn't through and his teammates weren't either. Jam No. 2 came on a drive from the right baseline at the tail end of a 16-5 run that pushed CU ahead 42-25. Then he scored the final points of the half on a tip dunk after a Scott miss for a 44-29 halftime lead.
CU outrebounded Stanford 24-14 in the first half, with Roberson getting 11 of his board total in the first 20 minutes. The Buffs were careful with the ball, too, not committing the first of their four first-half turnovers until 3:26 remained before intermission. They went 27 possessions before turning it over, finishing with a dozen.
After never trailing in the first half, the Buffs' pressing second-half question was whether they could maintain their intensity - knowing the Cardinal would ratchet up its own. The short answer for CU: Yes.
When Johnson threw down his fourth jam - this one on a breakaway at the 14-minute mark - the Buffs took their largest lead of the night, 54-36. But the Cardinal wasn't done.
Stanford closed to within 11 points (54-43) on a three-point play by Rosco Allen, then cut CU's advantage to single digits (54-46) on a three-pointer by Randle with 9:55 to play.
But the Cardinal never came closer than eight points. A pair of free throws by Dinwiddie with 8:53 to play restored the Buffs' 10-point lead (56-46). And after Roberson swat and rebound, the irrepressible Booker scored eight consecutive points for a 64-48 CU advantage with just over 6 minutes remaining.
Booker had gone to the bench because of fouls (he finished with four), but was sent back in by Boyle. "I was in foul trouble, and coach told me when I got back in the game to make something happen," Booker said. "Coach believes in me . . . I love those moments."
When Chen buried a three-pointer from the left corner with 2:23 left, CU went up by 19 (70-51). The lead got larger when Boyle emptied his bench, with crowd favorite Ben Mills scoring his four points in the final minute.
The Buffs (13-6, 3-4) are back at the Events Center on Sunday (1:30 p.m., FSN) to face California. Stanford (11-8, 3-3) visits Utah Sunday.

ZF-5303: Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract doesn't determine hashing capabilities correctly
The Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract throws an Exception whenever the getHash Method is being called. This is because the hashing capabilities aren't correctly determined.

ZF-6055: Currency doesn't round correctly
When is use Zend_Currency, the roundings are working incorrectly (imho).
$currency = new Zend_Currency('EUR', 'nl_NL');
echo $currency->toCurrency('5.678', array('presicion' => 2));
I think it should display the number as: 5,68 but it is displayed as 5,67.
When looking in the code, the toCurrency uses the Zend_Locale_Format::toNumber(). Should it be using the toFloat() function instead?
Use the correct option...
precision instead of presicion
So I made a typo in the example... whoooo.
BUT!.... In my actual code it was/is the correct option (so no typo) thus the problem remains.
Looks for me as a duplication of ZF-3473 and ZF-5908. Using your example within my testbed I see no failed rounding using your input.
Are you sure that you are using trunk as you stated within the issue creation and not a fixed release ?
Did I state trunk? Hmz, must be sleeping :(
I was using 1.7.6, but I get the same results in 1.7.7.
This is the code that I use (just for testing!)
$curr = new Zend_Currency('EUR', 'nl_NL');
$res = $curr->toCurrency(5.3678, array('display' => Zend_Currency::NO_SYMBOL));
Going to test against trunk
Ok, I see that the code is working on trunk library.
When can we expect 1.7.8? ;-)
Sorry for the troubles! (and thanx for the solution).
I'll better my life by searching and filling the fields correctly.
Fixed for the next minor release (small BC break environment related)

Concrete volute pumps for flood protection
Illustration: Flowserve Corp.
A concrete volute pump has a "formed suction inlet" instead of the usual rectangular structure. The suction bell is connected directly to the inlet and the volute sits directly above the suction bell. The transition piece is cast into the volute and becomes the connection to the discharge piping.
Construction is under way on a second pump station at the Pavaho site. Three 125,000-gpm Flowserve Corp. BCV 170 concrete volute pumps are replacing Flygt 46,000-gpm submersible and 30,000-gpm vertical pumps. Photo: Trinity Watershed Management Department
Table 1 — Existing stormwater pump stations
Table 2 — Planned stormwater pump station improvements
The Dallas Floodway Extension is one of five projects Congress authorized in 1965 as part of a basinwide plan to control the Trinity River. It was never built, so runoff that should flow to the river is trapped on land and pumped to the river during storms. To alleviate chronic flooding, the Trinity Watershed Management Department and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are replacing vertical pumps with concrete volute pumps at six pumping stations. Map: Trinity Watershed Management Department
By Albert Petrasek, Jr.
PROJECT: Expand stormwater pumping capacity citywideOWNER:8City of Dallas Trinity Watershed Management DepartmentCONTRACTOR:8BAR Constructors Inc., Lancaster, TexasCONSTRUCTION:8 August 2010 — November 2012
Much of Dallas is protected by a 22-mile levee system that runs along both sides of the Trinity River. These levees form the Dallas Floodway, which receives runoff from an upstream area of approximately 9,000 square miles. The system includes six stormwater pump stations, three behind each levee and each with multiple pumping units, that work with a series of sumps to control flooding. A seventh has been recommended for construction.
Dallas County Levee Control District No. 1 built the facilities in the 1930s in conjunction with the levee system. They were expanded in the 1950s when the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) improved the system and again in the mid-1970s to add capacity, making the levees and pump stations a federal program.
Because of their age and inadequacy in a 100-year flood event, the city initiated a program to upgrade the pump stations. The number of pumping units will increase from 29 to 50. This represents a significant increase in operations and maintenance, so selecting equipment best suited for such an application was critical.
The city and its consulting team developed a detailed process to evaluate pump types and options. Their subsequent 15-month investigation included visiting four manufacturers:
The team narrowed their options to conventional vertical pumps or concrete volute pumps before settling on the latter.
Although concrete volute pumps are new to the United States, more than 400 units are in service in North America and Europe and have performed well for more than 30 years. They're excellent for high-volume and low to moderate head applications and have an outstanding reputation for reliability, being commonly used in the nuclear power industry without standby units.
Stormwater managers increase the total capacity of six pump stations 145%.
The City of Dallas Trinity Watershed Management Department is introducing North America to concrete volute pumps for stormwater applications.
The volute is the component in which the velocity imparted to the water by the impeller is converted to pressure by carefully increasing the size of the spiral-shaped flow passage surrounding the impeller assembly. A small unit processes about 80,000 gpm; a very large one, about 400,000 gpm.
Department managers specified the design to increase capacity at six pumping stations and to build a seventh, called Trinity-Portland. Except for Old Baker, which has horizontal pumps obtained from the City of New Orleans in 1930, all are equipped with vertical mixed-flow pumps.
The first table lists the facilities and the second shows how much stormwater each will process as a result. The stations on the East Levee have two separate structures, which is why there are "old" and "new" and "small" and "large."
At time of publication, Baker No. 3 and New Able were in the design phase. Funding for the other stations is scheduled to be provided through a future bond program.

The Arizona State men's (0-3) and women's (2-1) swimming and diving teams wrapped up their first home meet of the season Saturday afternoon, as they faced the UNLV Runnin' Rebels and the Denver Pioneers from Mona Plummer Aquatic Center in Tempe, Ariz. The ASU women and men came out with mixed results from the meet, with the women grabbing two wins while the men dropped two.
On the women's side, ASU comfortably beat both opponents. In a closer matchup, the Sun Devils overtook Denver by a score of 163.00-131.00. Against UNLV the margin was wider, beating the Runnin' Rebels 198.50-98.0.
The men, on the other hand, came up short in both contest. They fell to UNLV by a final score of 192.00-105.00, as well to Denver, 175.00-124.00.
The women got the day started off right with a win in the 400 Yard Medley Relay, which they finished in 3:46.63. That's all the momentum they needed to keep it rolling throughout the afternoon.
Tristin Baxter then went on the win the next women's event, the 1000 Yard Freestyle, with a time of 10:10.88. She won by just under five seconds over second-place.
Melanie Busch and Tory Houston both finished the day with two first-place victories. Busch took first in the 100 Yard Backstroke with a time of 55.30, and also the 50 Yard Freestyle, finishing in 23.28 seconds. Houston took first in the 100 Yard Breaststroke with a time of 1:05.03, while also taking the top spot in 200 Yard Breaststroke. She finished that swim in 2:19.61.
The women had seven individual victories on the day; the other two top finishes came from Juanita Barretto in the 100 Yard Freestyle and Lori Layne Kremer in the 200 Yard Butterfly.
For the men, Alex Coci took first-place in the 100 Yard Butterfly with a time of 48.55, beating second-place by .43 of a second. He was the only male for ASU to capture a victory.
Sun Devils swimming and diving is back in action in two weeks, once again in front of their home crowd in Tempe. They face USC on Friday, Nov. 8, at a time to be determined, and UCLA on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 1:00 p.m. PT.

Well, that was a surprise
Has the reviewer even read the guide to the sensuality ratings on AAR? By the ways, Kleypas is listed there as one of the authors who tends to write hotter love scenes.
It's true that a large portion of the book deals with the heroine's failed marriage but everything that has to do with Hardy and all love scenes are hot, if not burning.

Last night I finished listening to the audio version and I gotta tell you my, er, ears (coughcough) were on fire.
One scene in particular was scorching.
I have a couple of quibbles with the review. It was Haven's choosing to marry Nick that caused the estrangement with her father and the
that brought about the beginnings of reconciliation. I'm also wondering what personality changes at the end didn't work for the reviewer.
This book is definitely a DIK for me and I especially appreciate it after reading a string of blah contemporaries. The story and the characters feel
-- flawed but real.

I'm guessing it was Haven's father. That did seem a bit abrupt. The part in the review that I didn't get was the suggestion that Haven had an aura of entitlement. That's not the way it came across to me.

After reading your thoughts on the sensuality rating, I tried to remember just why I DID give it a warm rating. I have written over 70 reviews for AAR and have those rating descriptions deeply embedded in my mind and I think the phrase from the Warm rating "Emotions and feelings are most important" was foremost in my thoughts. But I read through a couple of those passages this morning, and you are right - this is hot! I have asked Laurie to change the rating to Hot.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I agree with Yulie. I didn't get a feeling that Haven had a sense of entitlement at all. And, I don't know that I would classify her as a "poor little rich girl" in the traditional sense, which evokes images of poutiness and whining.
Mostly, I don't think it was her family's wealth that was the overwhelming issue here, but simply the fact that Haven grew up in a family where everyone else had such stong personalities that she had to struggle to define her own personality, especially with her mother and father at first and then as an adult, with her husband.
All in all I don't agree much with the review, especially when it comes to Haven's reactions to Hardy. I loved this book, graded it an A+ and a DIK.
Any idea of Kleypas' next contemporary?

With the exception of the sensuality rating, I thought Lea's review was pretty spot-on. I really enjoyed
Blue-Eyed Devil
but felt I couldn't give it DIK status purely on the basis of the melodramatic ending.

I just read the book last night. In fact, I am tired today, as I stayed up way too late to finish it. I love the book, and I loved Hardy Cates. In fact, I would rate Blue-Eyed Devil above Sugar Daddy. However, I now want to go back and re-read Sugar Daddy, as I can't remember everything the reader was told about all of the characters. I love, love, love Lisa Kleypas and her historicals; now her contemporaries have a firm place on my list of favorites.

Glad to hear that folks like it. I just finished "Sugar Daddy" and loved it. I have a question, though: Is it worth it to buy it in hardcover? I waited for the paperback for "Sugar Daddy".

For me, no question it's worth the hard cover price. I've already read it twice and I know I'll read it many more times. And hard covers last longer
Plus I'm not sure I should mention this....... but what the heck
Check the acknowledgment page - the last page at the top. I'm one of the people she mentions
This book touched me more than many a book. I loved Haven's journey. As much as I loved Sugar Daddy, I loved this one just a tiny bit more - and not because of what I just mentioned.

I bought it in hardcover, and like Kristie, I haven't regretted it. Blue Eyed Devil was really good, and in many cases you can buy it a discount so that it's only a few dollars more than you'd pay for a paperback a few months from now.
What you can also do is wait until a couple of months before the paperback release and then get it in hardcover at a very reduced price. I paid less for my hardcover of Sugar Daddy than what the paperback edition costs, and at one point Amazon was selling them for under $4.
Kristie, I'll look for you when I get home tonight

OMG, that's awesome!!! OK, well, I think I'll keep on the lookout to see if I can get it discounted. My budget won't allow me to buy it at full price.

I decided to read this last night based on the thread here, and I have to say I liked it less than others seem to. Don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't
it in any way, but there was something about Hardy that never quite grabbed me... the whole Texas "roughneck" bad boy doesn't do much for me, to be honest. I tend to shy away from heroes who are supposed to be the "good ol' boy," so it's not necessarily the author's fault. It's hard for me to fully connect with a romance story, however, if I dislike or can't connect with one the leads (usually a TSTL heroine).

I enjoyed this book very much. Lisa Kleypas has shown she can write a great historical and also a darn good contemporary romance. I enjoyed Hardy as a hero and thought Haven was a good match for him. I just have thing that didn't click for me and that would be Haven's close relationship with her brothers and her friend Todd. Their willingness to protect her after her horrendous marriage didn't mesh with their absence during her marriage. Where were they then? I realize she had been cut off from the family, but you'd think one of those guys would have checked in on her over the year she was married to that slime-ball. Anyway...that is my only complaint. I've enjoyed having the book to read and have been savoring it. Does anyone know if Kleypas is continuing this series? As in a book for Jack?
Lisa Kleypas is one of my favorite authors and I admire her for her far reach in fiction. I also think it's wonderful that she hasn't jumped on the paranormal wagon like so many others. At least for now she hasn't....

According to her website, there's no word if she's writing a contemporary as of this time. Her upcoming releases are Wallflower Christmas on October 2008, and Seduce Me at Sunrise on September. =)

The Dover Fire Department extinguished a fire that ignited on the roof of T.G.I. Friday's restaurant off U.S. Route 13 in Dover late Friday morning.
DFD dispatched its ladder and an engine to the scene along with about a dozen firefighters. Firemen, under the command of Assistant Chiefs Mark Hall and Duane Reed, used the ladder truck to put out the bulk of the blaze.
"We came here for smoke in the ceiling, Hall said. "Crews investigated. We found it was an HVAC system on the roof. We took the panel off and found that insulation in the actual HVAC system had caught on fire.
"We extinguished it," he said. "We turned the scene over to the health inspector and the fire marshal."
The T.G.I.F. manager on duty declined to comment.
The emergency fire call came in at 11:11 a.m. Friday, Dover Director of Public Relations & Emergency Management Coordinator Kay Dietz-Sass said. The restaurant smelled of smoke and the employees had everyone evacuated.
No injuries were reported, Dietz-Sass said.
As soon as the situation was rectified the restaurant would reopen, she added.

Women's Lights Return To Sprints Medal Stand With Silver; Fours Earn Bronze
The Princeton women's lightweight rowing team returned to the medal stand at the EAWRC Championships Sunday afternoon at Cooper River. The Tigers placed second to Harvard in the varsity eight, while the fours placed third to earn bronze.
Princeton, the 2011 Sprints champion, went through a major rebuilding season last year, but head coach Paul Rassam was pleased with the overall work the team put in and believed it would pay dividends in 2013. On Sunday, those thoughts were proven correct.
"These were hard fought races, hard won medals and the culmination of an impressive couple of weeks from our entire squad," Rassam said. "The athletes weathered a fair amount of adversity and demonstrated plenty of character. Our team still isn't at full strength personnel wise and yet we are right near the top. I couldn't be prouder."
Radcliffe, the top-ranked team in the nation, won the gold in 7:17.8, while Princeton pushed past both Georgetown and reigning champion Wisconsin — and through a firm cross headwind — for silver in a time of 7:26.0. That topped Georgetown by more than three seconds.
"We closed the gap on Radcliffe and gave them a much better race than we did a few weeks ago," Rassam said, referring to the Collegiate Invitational on the Charles River two weeks ago. "We plan on taking another step that direction at the IRAs."
Princeton also picked up a bronze medal in the fours, as the Tiger A boat finished just behind Radcliffe and Wisconsin in a time of 8:49. The Tigers had a second boat in the final, and they finished fifth overall in 9:10.
"Both of our fours raced really well," assistant coach Hank Zimmerman said. "We had a strong start which put us into a position to compete for medals. We couldn't quite hold Wisconsin off in the second half but we will continue to push for more speed heading towards IRAs."
1) Radcliffe 7:17.8
2) Princeton 7:26.0
3) Georgetown 7:29.1
4) Wisconsin 7:31.5
5) Boston University 7:46.5
6) Buffalo 8:27.3
VARSITY EIGHT: Christina Kaelin, Alex Morss, Rebecca Kreutter, Caroline Cochran, Julia Wendt, Elizabeth Lawless, Emily Wiebe, Margrett Stroebel, Phoebe Huang
VARSITY FOUR A: Jamie Simpson, Madigan Stanley, Arianne Carpio, Gabriella Pezzini, Emily Hill
VARSITY FOUR B: Hannah Ho, Alexa Powers, Whitney Charbonneau, Helen Stillwell, Joelle Deleveaux

How Goes the Charting?
By Rebecca Teti
Wednesdays: Natural Family Planning
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This weekly thread is a place where you can share your struggles, triumphs, links, resources, concerns, and questions about all things related to Natural Family Planning.
Please join the conversation!
Thanks so much, Patricia!
I'm currently expecting my first (due in 19 days!) and I never learned any method of NFP before I got pregnant. I intend to learn the Marquette method, but I'm not sure if I should bother trying to learn it while breastfeeding. The baby's father and I are not married, and we're abstaining until we get married, so there's no chance of me getting pregnant again. Would it be easier to wait until after the baby weans to learn NFP, or should we dive right in?
DW, personally it is easier to learn NFP when you don't have to worry about actually 'using' it. Also, if you get a handle of things during the postpartum time, then if you need to use it during postpartum again, you'll have an idea of what you're doing. Postpartum, especially while breastfeeding can be a little frustrating. So, if you're able to get a handle of this difficult time without the added stress of actively trying to avoid pregnancy, I personally think it would be helpful.
I agree that it's far easier to learn NFP before you need it--at least a couple of months early--but the post-partum period can be very confusing and difficult, so I think it would be better to wait to learn it until your cycles resume (unless, of course, you plan to get married sooner). I did find Marquette to be a pretty straightforward breastfeeding NFP method, though, so I don't see any harm with learning it now. It's just that NFP while breastfeeding isn't very much like regular NFP, and I think it's easier to start with the basics and go from there.
I think your answer probably depends on when you're planning on getting married and when you are planning on weaning. I've breastfed all four of mine round the clock, no supplements, no pacifiers until this last one and my fertility returned in 15 mos., 11 mos., and then 4 mos. and 3 mos. So, you may have fairly normal cycles to start charting in a reasonable amount of time and you may not. I agree there is less pressure to learn while you're not using the method, so I'd say start a few months post-partum and learn even if you need some refresher classes when your fertility returns or you marry, whichever comes first. And, congratulations on your little one!
My Creighton charting is going fantastically, thanks for asking. :-D
DW, I don't use Marquette, but from what I've heard, it's fantastic for breastfeeding and a lot of people learn it postpartum. Personally I'd start just to get in the hang of it if you have the mental space after giving birth. Yes, it will be 10000x more confusing than if you were not postpartum, but I think the more longer you chart before you get married the better. Plus, I liked watching my body recover from pregnancy.

Energy Efficiency through ICT in India: more needs to be done to demonstrate value
- Date
- 08 December 2010
MUMBAI, 8 December, 2010: On Friday December 3, as negotiators worked in the early hours in Cancun Mexico, a group of 22 participants from technology companies and financial institutions gathered at IDFC's offices in Mumbai for a half-day session on how to finance energy efficiency in buildings and the electricity grid. With targets for reducing emissions intensity of 20-25% by 2020 over 2005 levels, the optimism and momentum behind energy efficiency regulation should ideally drive innovative services and financing.
Ms. Nitya Ramakrishnan from Cisco, Dr. Rahul Tongia, Principal Research Scientist, CSTEP and Mr. Samir Menon, Tata Consulting Services spoke on smart buildings and smart grids, their state of deployment in India and how they are creating value for private and public sectors. A group of participants from IDFC and Yes Bank, amongst others, also contributed to a lively discussion.
The challenge in India is not to be underestimated: 200 million people have migrated to cities since 1992, doubling the urban population. Peak electricity load – due to residential and commercial demand – is three times the daily average, causing huge challenges for utilities trying to keep prices reasonable for everyone, while also serving the needs of the growing middle class and commercial or industrial sites. Millions of people live without power, and to continue to meet 8% growth in demand, 500 MW capacity will need to be added each week.
Smart technologies can help meet India's challenges. Accounting, auditing, monitoring and control tools can make buildings into 'smart loads' so that they can respond to the electricity grid in near-real time. Utilities like the one in Mangalore are getting 15-minute readings from residents and street lights to manage a basic amount of energy supply for everyone during peak times, reducing outages. Payback on these solutions is 1 - 3 years, but more would be possible if longer paybacks were acceptable.
But the barriers to developing smart solutions are also not to be underestimated. In Cisco's buildings, for instance, 10,000 points of data are analyzed every 4 seconds. This level of data analysis may not be scalable. And it is not always clear to board members or building owners that the savings accrued through better management and monitoring tools will pay back when expected, as savings timescales are difficult to predict.
The participants at the roundtable thought that demonstration projects were needed, to understand not just what technologies could be deployed to manage demand for power, but also how the business case could be developed for both the public and private sectors.
Cisco is already saving over 30% of building energy through its management tools Mediator and EnergyWise. Mangalore is reducing 10% of AT&C losses, and their customers are happy because basic appliances can be kept on during peak times, when power is normally cut off. These successes have carbon benefits. But the challenge will be to scale them up. Currently, Cisco is testing their products in their own buildings and Mangalore's utility is self-funding their pilot. How will they scale it up when most of the benefits accrue not to the utility, but to citizens or the city?
A key driver to overcome these challenges will be a services-oriented approach. As India invests $1 trillion in its infrastructure in the coming years, private and public sector will need to make the most of smart solutions that provide services to the millions of people moving to cities, or the millions being supplied with energy for the first time. But the benefits still need to be better understood, tested and measured. Financiers would like to understand exactly who the customers are that will be interested in 'smart' energy efficiency solutions, what incentives really work to change behavior, and what the regulatory or information barriers are that stand in the way. What we certainly can rely on, is that a diversity of solutions will be tried and tested, and India's innovation will inform the rest of the world.

Young Guru's impressive resume highlights more than a decade of experience in sound engineering and production, as well as his role as A&R for Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam Recordings. However, he's most lauded for his work behind the boards, shaping some of hip-hop's brightest talents: mixing 10 of Jay-Z's 11 albums, and DJing on the Watch the Throne tour, as well as Jay-Z's legendary Carnegie Hall and Barclays Center shows. On several recordings, Jay-Z himself offers verbal acknowledgements of Guru's importance.
As one of audio's most important minds and essential voices, Guru has elevated the discourse of audio engineering philosophy, science and technology. On March 19, 2014, Young Guru sat down with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame education director Jason Hanley for an exclusive interview, sharing stories from his years in the music industry. "The best music, in my opinion, is made by small groups of people in these small areas," says Guru. "If you go to Detroit and look at the Motown house, it's little – it's super little – but you think about the immense amount of music that came out of that house; or if you go to Stax and look at Stax… 15-20 people made this incredible amount of music. That's what we were trying to do – just make this environment where just great music was coming out."

Results tagged ' Phil Dumatrait '
The Same Mistake
Last night at Target Field, I had an upper-deck, bird's-eye view to one of what had to be the biggest Twins collapses in recent memory. Aside from the obvious blame on Matt Capps for not really getting anyone important out in the ninth inning, this game was lost by our manager. What makes it even more painful is the fact that, earlier in the game, the opposing manager of the Milwaukee Brewers made the exact same mistake…
In the early innings, the Twins absolutely blasted Brewers starter Narveson. Cuddy and Danny V. hit back-to-back jacks to almost an identical spot at one point, and the Twins coasted to a 7-0 lead. At one point, with the Twins up 4-0, Narveson had thrown almost 100 pitches, given up 11 hits, and yet the Brewer bullpen was JUST STARTING to get loose. I figured that the inability to get a reliever into the game who could get outs would be the Brewers' undoing.
Sadly, I was quite mistaken, and the shoe ended up firmly planted on the other foot. Leading 7-4 going into the bottom of the ninth, "closer" Matt Capps allowed four runs to give the Brewers the lead and eventual victory. While, to be honest, I am not all that surprised about Capps, as I believe he is the most overrated pitcher on our entire team, what absolutely perplexes me is why Gardy would leave him in the game for so long?
If you know anything about Capps, you know that when me melts down, every single fan in the ballpark knows it. He's a control pitcher with no dominant pitch (not exactly a closer repetoire, to be sure), so when the control isn't present, it gets ugly quick and doesn't end for a while. Kind of like if Nick Blackburn doesn't have his sinker; you KNOW he will struggle.
So, with the game hanging in the balance and potentially Joe Nathan or Phil Dumatrait ready to come in and (at the very least) secure a tie ballgame going into the home half of the ninth, Gardy sticks with Capps who promptly gives up a single and the game with it. If anyone has one rational reason why Capps was allowed to pitch after allowing the tying run, please let me know. To add insult to injury, Dumatrait then came in and got Prince Fielder to ground out on one pitch.
I'm sorry to say it, Gardy, but this one is on you. Everyone makes mistakes, so let's move on and try to take the series today, but when everyone in the ballpark knows the tide has turned and the pitcher is rattled, it is YOUR job to get him off that mound pronto. Please do not let the "traditional closer role" dictate your thinking. Ditto for "matchups". Capps needed to be removed, I don't care if Jim Hoey is coming out of that pen (a profound and terrible statement in and of itself).
Preview (35-46, 4th, 5.5 GB CWS): Zack Greinke (7-3, 5.63) vs. Nick Blackburn (6-6, 3.64)

ZF-9030: When placing the Route_Module as last in a chain an assertion on seperators in match() might fail
When you define a chain with the default Module route as a final route in the chain the route will fail when the url doesn't explicitly contain a controller or module.
The following example will fail:
public function testChainingDynamicModuleDefaultModuleMatch()
$foo = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':dynamic');
$dispatcher = new Zend_Controller_Router_ChainTest_Dispatcher();
$request = new Zend_Controller_Router_ChainTest_Request('http://www.zend.com/foo');
$bar = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module(array(),$dispatcher,$request);
$chain = $foo->chain($bar);
$res = $chain->match($request);
$this->assertEquals('foo', $res['dynamic']);
$this->assertEquals('defctrl', $res['controller']);
$this->assertEquals('defact', $res['action']);
$this->assertEquals('default', $res['module']);
It doesn't matter if the first route is a static route or (in the above case) a dynamic one.
My patch is an adjustment of the assertion that happens in Chain::match(). In my opinion it should check if the last route is or isn't of the Module type since the Module route normally contains defaults for module, controller and action.
I'll attach a patch I've made.
The patch I've included contains (besides the fix for Chain) also an modification of the unit tests.
Of course, if there is a disagreement on the unit tests, the patch for Chain invalidates right away :D
Assigning to Ben to review.
Already had a chance to look at the unit tests?
I'm running with the patched version for a while now (ok, not in production... but still) and haven't experienced any troubles. Still when thinking about the checks that are being performed (which I added myself...) I feel that it might impose unwanted overhead on the Router. For my setup it is totally unnoticeable but for others it might not be... any thoughts?
I think the issue here is basically identical, and thinking about it in that way renders my solution useless since it only deals with the module route, not any other optional routing params
I have run the unit test proposed here under the present version of trunk and it pass as expected, because the ZF-8812 was patched yesterday.
Marking as resolved, based on report by Kim.

Bobby Bennett (vocals; born 1938), Bobby Byrd (vocals; born August 15, 1934, died September 12, 2007), Lloyd Stallworth (vocals; born 1942, died 2002), Johnny Terry (vocals)
The Famous Flames provided vocals and choreography for James Brown from their formation in 1953 until their departure in 1968. There were many comings and goings within the Famous Flames during that 15-year period. To make matters more confusing, while the Famous Flames initially referred to the entire group, it eventually came to represent only the backup vocalists, while the musicians were tagged the James Brown Band. The combination of Bobby Byrd and Johnny Terry (who joined in 1955) with later arrivals Bobby Bennett and "Baby" Lloyd Stallworth (who joined in 1959) marked the definitive lineup of the Famous Flames. Commenting on their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012, president and CEO Terry Stewart noted, "They were a group of singers, performers and dancers that created the complementary elements of one of the greatest stage shows of all time."
"We were one unit, and we had a great chemistry," Bobby Bennett, the only surviving member of the Famous Flames, told the Cleveland Plain Dealer prior to their induction. "Each of us did specific things on each song, and James Brown did his thing as a member of a band.... Yes, James Brown was the most famous of the Flames, but we were all Famous Flames."
Although James Brown became the undisputed leader, the Famous Flames – not to mention all the instrumentalists in Brown's band – played a significant role in his success. The Famous Flames not only sang but also were part of the frenetic choreography that made Brown's live performances so spectacular. Brown's years with the Famous Flames represents his greatest period of impact as a driving force in soul music and renown as a live performer. Brown himself, in fact, was initially one of the Flames before busting out to become the Godfather of Soul.
Brown's talent was discovered by Byrd, whose baseball team played the prison squad Brown pitched for while serving a term for armed robbery in Toccoa, Georgia. Through the sponsorship of Byrd and his family, Brown was paroled in 1952. He joined Byrd's group, which sang both gospel (as the Gospel Starlighters) and rhythm & blues (as the Avons). Over time, the unstoppable Brown assumed an increasingly central role in the group. They performed around Georgia and South Carolina as the Flames (amended to the Famous Flames) in 1954 and 1955. Byrd played keyboards, Brown played drums, and they shared lead vocals. The other original members of the group were guitarist Nafloyd Scott, bassist Baroy Scott and singers Sylvester Keels, Fred Pulliam and Derek Oglesby. The latter two were replaced by Nashpendle "Nash" Knox and Johnny Terry in 1955.
Late that year, the Famous Flames cut a demo of "Please Please Please" at Macon, Georgia, radio station WIBB. Their manager, Clint Brantley – who'd also managed Little Richard – circulated the recording to various labels. Leonard Chess was very interested, but Ralph Bass (of King Records) managed to sign them first. He did so over the objections of owner Syd Nathan, with whom Brown would have a somewhat contentious relationship over the years. "Please Please Please" was recut for official release at King's studio in Cincinnati. Released in March 1956, the record was credited to James Brown and the Famous Flames. Brown's top billing caused dissension within the group. "Please Please Please" was a sizable hit, reaching Number Five on Billboard's R&B chart, but two-and-a-half years would pass before another single by Brown would crack the national charts. The combination of Brown's relegation of the Famous Flames to backup band and a lack of chart success caused instability within the group, which left in April 1957. Brown assembled a new set of backup singers (with only Terry remaining from the original lineup) and musicians, including saxophonist J.C. Davis and members of his band. Byrd rejoined in 1959, soon after "Try Me" topped the R&B chart. Bobby Bennett and "Baby" Lloyd Stallworth – who'd been valets for James Brown and J.C. Davis, respectively – rounded out the Famous Flames' lineup. Onstage, the Famous Flames contributed significantly to Brown's live act. They are audible on Live at the Apollo and evident on performance footage from that time, including an unforgettably energetic segment in The T.A.M.I. Show. The latter was a multi-artist live show filmed in 1964, and Brown was the undisputed showstopper.
Despite their role in his live show, Brown used the Famous Flames less frequently on record after 1964. Their final appearance on a studio recording was "Maybe the Last Time," cut in June of that year. Confusingly, the records were credited from 1955 through 1968 to James Brown and the Famous Flames – even the many on which the Famous Flames did not appear.
The Famous Flames left Brown for good in 1968. Bobby Byrd, however, returned to Brown's employ after a year and a half and remained until 1973. He received a cowriting credit with Brown on such tracks as "Get Up (I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine," "Talkin' Loud & Sayin' Nothing" and "Licking Stick – Licking Stick." Under Brown's tutelage, Byrd even charted a respectable number of R&B hits under his own name, including "Baby Baby Baby" (with Anna King), "I Need Help (I Can't Do It Alone)" and "I Know You Got Soul." For his close and lengthy working relationship with Brown, Byrd – who died in 2007 – is regarded as one of the more important auxiliary figures in the career of a major artist in music history.

The Sunrise Lodge, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club, opened last week, joining the ranks alongside other properties such as the Hyatt Escala, Westgate Resorts and the Waldorf Astoria in the area.
The Sunrise Lodge is the third Hilton property to open in Park City, which also includes the Hampton Inn and the Waldorf Astoria, both branches of the Hilton brand.
"I think obviously bringing another Hilton property into the area gives us even greater exposure," said Rafe Sykes, the Hilton Grand Vacations Club General Manager of the Rock Mountain Region. "We are glad to bring a club to another ski destination. We have had great success with this brand in Breckenridge, which is very popular with owners. And we have been looking for another destination in a ski town for a long time. Park City was a great place to do this."
Kevin Fogarty, the Senior Director of Sales and Marketing for the Hilton Grand Vacations Club, added to that thought.
"I have been in this market for a long time," he said, "and it is just really cool to be part of the rebranding Talisker has done to this area."
The hotel and condominium project was originally completed in June 2009, dubbed the 'Sunrise at Escala,' but the property never came online.
Since then, the investment firm called Centerbridge Capital Partners has partnered with Hilton to rebrand the hotel and vacation ownership property.
The Hilton Grand Vacations Club consists of 83 rooms comprised of sizes ranging between studios and four-bedrooms, a total of 154 keys. Before opening, Hilton heavily invested in furbishing the space, including a complete build out of a new sales area. Amenities include a pool and hot tub area, a fitness center, ski valet service and shuttle service. Hilton hopes to continue to add to amenities in the space, with projects in the works as the ski season continues.
"We've looked at a number of things to improve on what we are already offering," Sykes said. "We need to see how business goes, but there are more good ideas in the works."
Prices for the vacation ownership packaged range $9,000 to $100,000 depending on what price point and availability owners are looking for, from a four-bedroom guaranteed over Christmas to a weekend getaway.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Pests & Problems
Landscape Fabrics (page 2 of 2)
by Charlie Nardozzi
Getting the Best Fabric
There are many landscape fabric brands available to homeowners. In Appleton's studies, the best brands for suppressing weed growth were the ones with the smallest-sized pores (spaces between the fabric fibers). "We feel the small pore spaces didn't allow weed or tree roots to penetrate and ge a foothold in the fabric," says Appleton. Short of asking the manufacturer for its fabric's pore space size, a simple test a home gardener can use to rate landscape fabrics is to raise the different brands up to the light and see how much light shines through. "The less light, the smaller the pore spaces and probably the less weed growth with that fabric," notes Appleton. "We found the Weed-X brand to have the smallest-sized pore spaces of all the fabrics tested. It also had the least amount of root penetration from weeds and nearby trees," she reports. "Another brand that performed well was Dewitt's Weed Barrier."
Future Fabrics
The latest research in landscape fabrics is creating a new generation of treated fabrics that are even more effective in controlling weeds regardless of the types and depth of the mulch. "The fabric I'm most excited about is a nonwoven landscape fabric impregnated with copper," says Appleton. "Whenever tree or weed roots come in contact with the copper, they're essentially stunted, thus making the fabrics last even longer." Look for this new product this summer.

Tony McDaniel wants to start, but hopes to re-sign with Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins free agent Tony McDaniel credits the NFL's lockout for helping him get in the best shape of his professional career.
McDaniel, who had a productive season as one of the four defensive ends the Dolphins rotated during games, knows at some point this summer the NFL owners will voluntarily, or be forced to open the doors.
When that happens he'll either find a new NFL home, or re-sign with the Dolphins. McDaniel, a five-year veteran who recently turned 26, said his goal this offseason has been to fine turn his body, making sure he's ready to push for a starting spot in 2011 when opportunity finally presents itself.
"I'm definitely pushing myself more," said McDaniel, who is training in Atlanta with other professional athletes, not just football players. "I can see the results in my body and my energy, my speed, everything.
"We don't know exactly when the lockout is going to end. We might just go straight to training camp with no OTAs," said McDaniel, who contributed 36 tackles and 2.5 sacks for the Dolphins last season. "I got to make sure the last thing I'm worried about is being in shape. Only thing I have to do is worry about getting my playbook and going to work."
During his talk with WQAM's Kup & Kelly show, McDaniel said he's training five days a week, and his workouts include other sports training, like boxing, which enhances hand-eye coordination.
"We eat right, diet together," McDaniel said of his training program. "It's keeping me going."
Even though McDaniel is an unrestricted free agent the Dolphins haven't aggressively pursued re-signing – likely because of the abundance of defensive ends on the roster – he still views himself as a Dolphin. He still views returning to the team that traded for him in 2009 as a possibility, and believes the Dolphins are "one play away" from being a playoff contender, especially with what returns on defense.
"I have a great relationship with the Dolphins. I love the Dolphins, love being a Dolphins player. I ended the season on a good note and the Dolphins love me from my understanding," said McDaniel, who has played defensive tackle and end during his NFL career. "I'm waiting to step up and have a big role either with the Dolphins or my next team. Hopefully I'm going to be a Dolphin next year, but if not I want to be with a team that has confidence in me. I'm ready to take over."
McDaniel realizes Kendall Langford, an emerging young player entering a contract year, and Randy Starks, who was a Pro Bowler in 2010, are firmly positioned ahead of him on the depth chart. And he knows the Dolphins need to find playing time for Jared Odrick, the 2010 first-round pick, and Phillip Merling, the 2008 second-round pick.
But he's a competitor, and believes in his ability, which had him rated by ProFootballFocus.com as the 13th best 3-4 defensive end in the NFL on a per snap basis.
McDaniel's versatility might make him a good fit for a team like Houston, Denver, San Francisco, or Carolina, squads looking for some front line help.
"I'm kind of hungry," McDaniel said when asked about his desire to become an NFL starter. "If that's the position God put me in I've got to go with it. I'd love to be a starting defensive end in the National Football League. That's a big accomplishment. If not then I have to play my role, but I'd love to be a starting defensive lineman if that's what God has in store for me."

It may seem like just yesterday, but it was actually 25 years ago that you were rockin' out to Nelson, the rock band founded by the identical twin sons of the late teen idol Ricky Nelson. Back in 1990, Nelson's biggest hit, "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection," was everywhere, as evidenced by it hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on Sept. 29, 1990. What you may not recall is the long blond maned Matthew and Gunnar Nelson had several more hit singles from their debut album "After the Rain," including the title track, which hit No. 6, and "More Than Ever" and "Only Time Will Tell," which peaked at No. 14 and No. 28, respectively.
While Matthew and Gunnar Nelson have continued releasing new music since hitting it big with their 1990 debut, they've never been able to repeat their initial success. They have since released nine more albums, the most recent being May 2015's "Peace Out." However, the duo has since decided to stop using the "Nelson" band name, instead opting to tour and record music using their first names. They relocated to Nashville in the mid-1990s and even started working on a country album back then, but never completed it. But Music City has definitely rubbed off on them, as they told Rolling Stone in July 2015 that they are working on a "country-flavored Christmas album." They also perform as a separate tribute act to their father, called "Ricky Nelson Remembered Starring Matthew and Gunnar Nelson," and with a celebrity all-star rock band called Scrap Metal.
Mariah Carey's self-titled debut album, released on June 12, 1990, was the best-selling album in the United States in 1991. Carey followed that success with multi platinum-selling albums such as "Emotions" and "Music Box."
After a struggling career in the early 2000s, Carey came back strong with the 2005 album "The Emancipation of Mimi." After the poor reception and performance of her first movie, 2001's "Glitter," she has also returned to acting, receiving positive reviews and awards for her supporting role in 2009's "Precious." She also appeared in 2013's "The Butler." She also spent 2013 as a judge on the 12th season of "American Idol" and released her 14th studio album, "Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse," in May 2014. On May 15, 2015, she he released the greatest hits album "#1 to Infinity" to coincide with a two-month Las Vegas summer residency at Caesars Palace.
After releasing a couple albums in her native Canada in the early 1990s, Alanis Morissette broke through with the international hit album "Jagged Little Pill," released on June 13, 1995. The album would sell more than 15 million copies and peak at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart. Morissette also won five Grammys for the album, including Album of the Year, making her the youngest artist in history to win the title at age 21, a record she held for 14 years. In November 1998, she released her follow-up album, "Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie." The album's first single, "Thank U," reached No. 17 in the U.S. and climbed to No. 1 in Canada, but the album failed to replicate the runaway success of "Jagged Little Pill."
Morissette has since released four more albums, with the most recent being 2012's "Havoc and Bright Lights." The one-time "You Can't Do That on Television" child actor has also returned to acting, most notably with roles in Kevin Smith's 1999 movie "Dogma" and on the TV series "Sex and the City," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Nip/Tuck" and "Weeds." She's seen here in March 2015 at the Juno Awards.
Wilson Phillips' "Hold On" was pretty much the soundtrack for 1990, as the group's self-titled debut album (released May 8, 1990) sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, making the trio, at the time, the best-selling female group of all time.
Although the group, sisters Wendy and Carnie Wilson along with Chynna Phillips, went their separate ways in the mid-1990s, they reunited in 2010 to record a Christmas album. They also had a cameo in the movie "Bridesmaids" and released a new album, "Dedicated," in April 2012. The reality TV show "Wilson Phillips: Still Holding On" followed the making of the "Dedicated" album.
Weezer crashed onto the music scene in 1994 with their self-titled debut album, which became known as "The Blue Album" due to its cover. The simple cover featured (from left to right) Patrick Wilson, Rivers Cuomo, Matt Sharp, and Brian Bell. The album, including the singles "Undone – The Sweater Song," "Buddy Holly" and "Say It Ain't So," made the group the kings of nerd rock.
Two decades later, Weezer released their ninth studio album, "Everything Will Be Alright in the End," in October 2014. Enigmatic frontman Rivers Cuomo, in his mid-twenties when Weezer released their first album, is now 45. He is seen here performing with Weezer at the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Sept. 20, 2014.
For a while in 1994-95, it was nearly impossible to turn on a radio without hearing one of Hootie & the Blowfish's hits, including "Hold My Hand," "Let Her Cry" and "Only Wanna Be with You." The roots rock band was fronted by lead singer Darius Rucker.
While the band released four follow-up records, it never recaptured the success it saw with its 1994 debut "Cracked Rear View." With the band currently on indefinite hiatus, Rucker has found a second act as a country singer. He first released a solo R&B album in 2002, but later signed to Capitol Records Nashville and released his first country album in 2008. His first single off that album, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," made him the first black artist to chart a No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs charts since Charley Pride in 1983. He has since recorded the No. 1 country hits "It Won't Be Like This for Long," "Alright," "Come Back Song," "This" and "Wagon Wheel," the last a Grammy-winner off his third country album, 2013's "True Believers." His most recent album, "Southern Style," was released on March 31, 2015.
MC Hammer was a flamboyant on-stage performer with flashy dance moves and hit songs such as "U Can't Touch This" and "Too Legit to Quit."
After filing for bankruptcy in 1996, Hammer has maintained a family life with a wife and five children. While he hasn't released an album since 2009's "DanceJamthemusic," he has occasionally released singles over the past few years. He also started Alchemist Management, a mixed martial arts management company, and a related clothing line called Alchemist Clothing in July 2010. He's seen here performing at the International Entertainment Buyers Association 2014 Conference on Sept. 28, 2014, in Nashville, Tennessee.
In 1993, the 4 Non Blondes broke through with the hit "What's Up?," often mistakenly called "What's Going On?" due to that line being repeated in the chorus. The song would be their one and only hit, with lead singer and guitarist Linda Perry (second from right) leaving the band in 1994 for a solo career. The rest of the band disbanded shortly after.
Perry released solo albums in 1995 and 1999 and formed a new band, Deep Dark Robot, which released an album in March 2011. She has also founded two record labels and produced and wrote hit songs for artists like Christina Aguilera ("Beautiful'), Pink ("Get the Party Started") and Gwen Stefani ("What You Waiting For?"). She began a relationship with former "Roseanne" actress Sara Gilbert in 2011 and the two married on March 30, 2014.
Bell Biv DeVoe, which was made up of New Edition members (from left to right) Ricky Bell, Ronnie DeVoe and Michael Bivins, released its debut album "Poison" in 1990. The album, which spawned the hits "Poison," "Do Me!" and "B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me)?," was credited with pioneering the "New Jack Swing" sound of the early '90s, combining hip-hop, funk, soul and pop music. Bell Biv Devoe also released two more albums, "Hootie Mack" in 1993 and "BBD" in 2001.
Although the group hasn't released an album since 2001, they continue to perform together. In May 2013, they performed their hit song "Poison" for a benefit concert to raise money for victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. In October 2014, they joined with the likes of Seth Rogen and Craig Robinson to perform at the 3rd Annual Hilarity for Charity Variety Show in Hollywood to benefit the Alzheimer's Association.
Singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb launched her career in 1994 with the song "Stay (I Missed You)" from the "Reality Bites" soundtrack. The song hit No. 1 before she even had a record deal. She went on to release her Gold-certified debut album, "Tails," in 1995.
Loeb has released a total of nine studio albums, including three children's albums and her most recent album, 2013's "No Fairy Tale." Loeb has also worked in film (including "House on Haunted Hill" and "Fright Night"), made cameos on TV shows, done voice-over work and appeared in the reality TV series "Dweezil & Lisa" and "Number 1 Single." In 2010, she founded the Lisa Loeb Eyewear Collection, which is based on her own designs.
In 1990, Vanilla Ice's song "Ice Ice Baby" became the first hip hop single to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His debut album, "To the Extreme," became the fastest selling hip hop album of all time, spent 16 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and sold 11 million copies.
The rapper, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, struggled to find another hit and began using ecstasy, cocaine and heroin in the mid-1990s. After a suicide attempt, he took a break from music, focusing on motocross and jet skiing and then started working on the side renovating and selling houses. When he returned to music in 1998, he came with a new sound that combined heavy metal, punk rock and hip hop. In 2009, he began hosting "The Vanilla Ice Project" on DIY Network. His latest album, "W.T.F. (Wisdom, Tenacity And Focus)," was released in August 2011. In mid 2013, Vanilla Ice joined the New Kids on the Block tour alongside Boyz II Men, playing to sold out crowds. He also performed at the halftime show of a Houston Texans game in September 2013.
The Backstreet Boys formed in 1993 with (from left to right) A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell and Nick Carter. Seen here is their 1996 self-titled debut album.
The Backstreet Boys are seen here in January 2015 at the premiere of their first documentary, titled "Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em What You're Made Of." The band reunited in 2005 after a three-year break. In 2011, they joined forces with fellow boy band New Kids on the Block for a tour. In 2013, they celebrated their 20th anniversary and released their first independent album, "In a World Like This." They also made a cameo as themselves in the movie "This Is The End," winning a MTV Movie Award for "Best Musical Moment."
Rapper Freedom Williams was the voice behind C+C Music Factory's big hits, including "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" and "Things That Make You Go Hmmm..." He also released his solo debut, "Freedom," in 1993.
Now 49, Williams has continued working, writing solo material and performing. He released a new record in May 2010 and wrote and directed a short film called "Freedom Williams' Life Goes On" in 2011.
Trent Reznor was a rock god in the 1990s, with his group Nine Inch Nails releasing "Pretty Hate Machine" in 1989 and "The Downward Spiral" in 1994, which Rolling Stone ranked No. 200 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
With Nine Inch Nails taking a few years off starting in 2009, Reznor focused on scoring films, including his work on David Fincher's "The Social Network," which won Reznor and musician Atticus Ross an Oscar in 2011. The duo also reunited with Fincher to score "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "Gone Girl." He ended Nine Inch Nails' hiatus in 2013, releasing the band's eighth studio album, "Hesitation Marks," and launching a worldwide tour.
Will Smith was one half of the rap duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince with hits such as 1991's "Summertime." Smith moved on to a solo music career and earned two Grammy awards for his 1997 album "Big Willie Style."
Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith have two children, Willow and Jaden, both of whom have followed their parents into Hollywood careers. He's had a successful film career headlining films such as "Men in Black," "I, Robot" and "I Am Legend," earning Academy Award nominations for his performances in "Ali" and "The Pursuit of Happyness."
Billy Ray Cyrus had breakout success with his 1992 album "Some Gave All," which has sold more than 9 million copies in the United States. His most famous song on the album was the music craze "Achy Breaky Heart."
Cyrus' music career has slowed down since then. While he still is releasing country albums, he has also become an actor, starring in the TV series "Doc" from 2001 to 2004 and then alongside his daughter Miley Cyrus on the huge Disney Channel hit "Hannah Montana" from 2005 to 2011.
Celine Dion achieved international acclaim in the 1990s with a string of hit albums and singles. Dion recorded the theme song to the 1997 blockbuster "Titanic."
Dion has continued her worldwide success in the 2000s and is now the second best-selling female artist of all time. She released her 11th English-language studio album, "Loved Me Back to Life," in November 2013. In March 2011, she kicked off a three-year residency at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, the second such Vegas residency of her career. It was initially extended until 2019, but she suspended all her show business activities in August 2014 due to the worsening of her husband's health after he underwent the removal of a cancerous tumor in December 2013. In August 2015, she made her return to Vegas to continue her residency.
Justin Timberlake was part of the boy band phenomenon 'NSYNC in the late 1990s and had a much publicized relationship with pop idol Britney Spears.
Timberlake has had a successful career as a solo music artist and actor, including roles in movies such as "The Social Network," "Friends with Benefits," "In Time," "Trouble with the Curve" and "Inside Llewyn Davis." In 2013, he released his third and fourth studio albums, the two-part "The 20/20 Experience," with both albums topping the Billboard 200 album chart. He also reunited with 'NSYNC for a one-off performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards in August 2013.
The Spice Girls took the British music scene by storm in the mid-1990s and then found American success with their best-selling single "Wannabe."
The group's members have each pursued their own careers and staged a reunion tour and greatest hits album in 2007. They also performed during the closing ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London (pictured). Member Victoria Beckham (far left) has stayed in the spotlight the longest with her marriage to soccer superstar David Beckham.
The three brothers Issac, Taylor, and Zachary (from left to right), formed the pop band Hanson. Their most famous song is the catchy "MMMBop."
The Hanson brothers continue to make music including their most recent album, June 2013's "Anthem."
Megadeth was one of the best-selling heavy metal acts of the 1990s, with 1992's "Countdown to Extinction" reaching No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. The band was fronted by singer/guitarist Dave Mustaine (far left.)
Megadeth initially disbanded in 2002 after Mustaine suffered a severe nerve injury to his left arm. However, following extensive physical therapy, Mustaine, now 54, reformed the band in 2004. They have since released five new albums and are working on another tentatively scheduled for release in early 2016.
Shania Twain was a crossover country superstar in the 1990s. She has sold more than 80 million albums worldwide, including 48 million in the U.S.
Twain, seen here at the Billboard Music Awards in May 2014, remarried in January 2011, to Swiss business executive Frederic Thiebaud, following her 2008 divorce from record producer Robert "Mutt" Lange. More recently, she was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, debuted a reality show for the Oprah Winfrey Network and played two-year Las Vegas residency. She kicked off her first tour in 11 years on June 5, 2015, and plans to release her fifth studio album within a year or so.
Country superstar Garth Brooks enjoyed one of the most successful careers in popular music history, breaking records for both sales and concert attendance throughout the 1990s.
Brooks retired in 2001, but returned in December 2009, when he began a five-year concert deal with the Encore Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. He was also inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in October 2012. He kicked off his first world tour in 13 years with 11 shows in the Chicago area in September 2014 and released his first new studio album since 2001's "Scarecrow" in November 2014.
Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O'Connor had one of the biggest hits of the 1990s with her cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U," which received three Grammy nominations and won three MTV Video Music Awards.
The often-controversial O'Connor, now 48, has continued working since the height of her fame. She released her 10th full-length album, "I'm Not Bossy, I'm the Boss," in August 2014.
Paula Abdul went from Lakers cheerleader to sought-after choreographer before scoring with her own hits starting in 1989, including "Straight Up," "Forever Your Girl," "Cold Hearted" and "Opposites Attract." Her recording success would continue through the mid-1990s.
But Abdul is more famous today for being an "American Idol" judge for eight seasons through 2009. She has struggled to find success post-"Idol" though, seeing her reality TV competition show "Live to Dance" canceled in 2011 after seven episodes and being axed as a judge on Simon Cowell's American version of "The X Factor" after one season. She also served as a judge on the revamped "So You Think You Can Dance Australia," which ran from Feb. 9 through May 1, 2014.
