Harbouring a Grudge is a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV. It is the first mission given by Patrick McReary (Packie).
Packie tells Niko Bellic that there is business out at the docks in Algonquin to take care of. Some illegal meds are being smuggled into the country from the east by the Algonquin Triads, and he wants to steal the truckload of drugs while it's being moved. He says that a man named Ray Boccino up him onto it, and although he doesn't trust him, he decides that it's worth the money.
Kate McReary and Packie are aruging as Maureen McReary talks about hell. Niko comes and Kate takes an interest in him. Packie says stay away from her and says they need to do something.
Drive Packie to the docks. Once you arrive, follow Packie. He'll run around to the back of a harbour warehouse overlooking the Triad deal. The game will introduce you to climbing and shimmying as you and Packie scale the warehouse to access the roof. When you reach the top, and a cutscene will start, showing a boat pull up with the meds, which starts to get loaded into a Yankee truck. Packie will then instruct Niko to climb down the small mini-cabin on the side of the building next to the river and start shooting the Triads. Climb down, and slowly sneak behind the large warehouse boxes. Start firing on the Triads and Packie will give you support from the roof. Packie will draw some of their attention, but they will still shoot at you. When everyone outside has been killed (including the guy on the boat), The thugs inside the warehouse with the truck will start shooting, too. Be careful not to destroy the truck. After everyone is dead, enter the truck with the meds and wait for Packie.
Packie will follow Niko into the truck, and instruct Niko to drive the truck to a lockup in Westminster. Start driving to the lockup, but some Triads in cars will start following and shooting you. Niko will find some grenades in the truck, and you can drop them out the window to blow up the cars (Be careful; the truck is slow and it might not clear the blast radius if you "cook" the grenade too long). No matter what you do, get to the lockup. Niko will park the truck in the lockup and the pair will exit the truck. Ray will pull up and pick up Packie to talk. He will also take Niko's number for more work.
- In the warehouse with the truck there is a first aid kit in the office. Niko can also leave the gunfight to restore his health at a food stand.
- If you have access to Dwayne's backup, you can summon it before leaving the rooftop. The extra gunmen may not immediately arrive and may be "hung-up" getting through a fence though they may still fire on enemy from a distance.
- If the player jumps off the roof to get on the ground or get in the truck, Packie will say "I didn't know I was working with a special needs kid." saying that it was dumb to jump when the player could just jump onto the large bin.

haha i love how some lupe fans are exactly the same. just treated his life lol. nothings boring right now unless you allow society to push it upon you. what would lupe say? you dont stand half a chance if you stood half a stance? lol
we are living in the deceptive ages , your mind is not equipped to understand how is that except if you train it and work hard to know the truth , and you can call that the biggest jihad " self jihad " , thats the only way to recognize the very soon coming Dajjal ( the AntiChrist i.e the 'world' king this guv was talking about in this speech) and save yourself from his evil and his temptation to let Allah put you in the paradise .. ~Exposing Teh Wicked P.lease.E.educate.Arr.C.hildren.Everyday!
A speech at the B'nai B'rith convention in Paris, published shortly afterwards in The Catholic Gazette (London) in February 1936 and in 81 Le reveil du peuple (Paris) a little later, stated: "We have founded many secret associations, which all work for our purpose, under our orders and our direction. We have made it an honour, a great honour, for the Gentiles to join us in our organizations, which are, thanks to our gold, flourishing now more than ever. Yet it remains our secret that those Gentiles who betray their own and most precious interests, by joining us in our plot, should never know that those associations are of our creation, and that they serve our purpose... One of the many triumphs of our freemasonry is that those Gentiles who become members of our Lodges, should never suspect that we are using them to build their own jails, upon whose terraces we shall erect the throne of our Universal King of the Jews; and should never know that we are commanding them to forge the chains of their own servility to our future King of the World..."
British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli spoke in 1852 to the House of Commons, referring to the events of 1848: "The natural equality of men and the abolition of property are proclaimed by the secret societies, which form the provisional governments; and men of the Jewish race are at the head of each of them." The rabbi Isaac Wise (1819-1900), chairman of B'nai B'rith's suborganization in Cincinnati, Ohio, explained that "freemasonry is a Jewish establishment, whose history, grades, official appointments, passwords, and explanations are Jewish from beginning to end" (Israelite of America, 3 August 1866). He also stated: "Freemasonry is the executive political organ of the Jewish financial elite." He meant that freemasonry is the political action group of the extremist Jews. The Jewish Tribune (New York) wrote on 28 October 1927: "Masonry is based on Judaism. Eliminate the teachings of Judaism from the Masonic Ritual and what is left?" The Jewish Guardian admitted openly on 12 April 1922: "Freemasonry is born out of Israel." The following could be read in the French masonic magazine Le Symbolisme (July 1928): "The most important duty of freemasonry must be to glorify the Jews, which has preserved the unchanged divine standard of wisdom." The high-ranking freemason Dr Rudolph Klein stated: "Our rite is Jewish from beginning to end, the public should conclude from this that we have actual connections with Jewry." (Latomia, No. 7-8, 1928)

ZF-8253: Zend_Validate_IP incorrectly invalidates valid IP addresses
These are some valid IPs which are said to be incorrect by Zend_Validate_Ip: 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:1428:57ab 2001:0DB8:0000:0000:0000:0000:1428:57AB a:b:c::188.8.131.52 a:b:c:d::18.104.22.168 a:b:c:d:e::18.104.22.168 a:b:c:d:e:f:18.104.22.168 a::c:d:e:f:0:1 a::0:1 ::e:f a:b:c:d:e:f::0
Found here ( http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/blog/… ) via ( http://crisp.tweakblogs.net/blog/3049/… and http://crisp.tweakblogs.net/blog/2031/…-(and-caveats).html )
Attached tiny reproduction script using Zend_Validate
Tests are partitially not reproducable:
Example: 10.0.0.1 is a valid IP4 address. According to your testbed it is invalid.
Do you have further informations ?
So basically you are saying that PHP's native functions do not work and ZF should fix a PHP bug ?
See this bug report within PHP: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50117
I'm not sure if ZF should try to fix PHP bugs. Note that changing this implementation from PHP to ZF will have a massive performance impact.
Note additionally that this bug report was reported "9.Nov."... at the same day as this issue was reported to ZF.
I removed the ipv4 address, that was obviously my bad (hey, it was late!).
Furthermore I do think we should fix this, no matter if it's PHP's behaviour that is wrong here, or ZF's. ZF claims to validate ipv6 addresses, and currently it does not do that entirely right. If you look for example at Zend_Validate_Int, we could just have gone for return is_int(), but because we wanted to do more than php itself can, we implemented the extra functionality ourselves. Same goes for NotEmpty, and probably more.
As to what the performance impact is concerned; I don't think there would be much. We would only have to think of a regex which takes care of the abovementioned ipv6 addresses and check them only if the other 2 IP-checks fail.
Fwiw; I did not have any contact with the author of the url's that are in the original report, so it's kind of coincidence that we report the same issue within hours from each other.
I attached a patch that does most of the abovementioned ips correctly. It also contains a (commented out) testcase with ip addresses php currently does do wrong, which we could later use when php bug #50117 is fixed.
EDIT: Patch redrawn. I have got a way better patch that should fix all problems. However, because not all code is mine, I am waiting for approval first.
Fixed with r18906.
Special thanks to Tino Zijdel ( http://crisp.tweakblogs.net/ ) whose code we were allowed to borrow.
A question of mine does not mean to take over the issue yourself and implement this without any further notice.
Next time, before taking over an issue, please ask the maintainer even if he asked you a question.
Please forward me the mail from Tino related to "allowed to borrow" according to our NDA rules.
Additionally you stated in your comment to use old and new implementation as fallback for performance but it was not implemented this way. Have you made any performance checks related to your reply ? How are your results ?
Need to check code and it's rights
Thomas -- Dolf has acquired rights to contribute the code (and I have seen the emails). As such, the onus of responsibility lies on him as he committed the changes. Focus on the other questions instead.
Thomas, my original patch relied on filter_var() which may not be installed on each system, therefore I used the original implementation with inet_ntop() as a fallback. However, because my new fix (which I committed to trunk) does not rely on any extensions that may, or may not be installed, there's no need for any such fallback.
Then there's the issue of performance; I did not benchmark my fix against the old implementation. The reason why I neglected to do so is because the old implementation is flawed (hence this issue) and is never going to work for each ipv6 address. The main problem basically is that inet_ntop() only returns IP's in their standard notation (which is compressed). However, when validating a non-compressed IP, it will be be outputted as compressed (if possible), and therefore always differ from the original input (invalidating it where it actually is valid). Though noncompressed IP's are no standard notation, they are entirely valid acc. to the relevant specs. Besides that, with the new implementation only one (tiny) regex is used max, so there can never be a noticeable slowdown.
The reason I committed it to trunk was because I am pretty certain of my fix being right since all unittests pass, my test actually adds 15 assertions. {quote}<|thomas_1> Problem with I18n is that most people only think of THEIR environment or server settings and not is I18n as complete API with effect to about 20 components <|thomas_1> He attached an issue from me to himself, ... without a solution for 4 days... no good behaviour in my eyes..{quote}
This obviously is not an environment/server setting, and I did introduce a solution within minutes after assigning it to myself. Besides that I made sure all unittests passed (to make sure trunk was still 'stable'), and I did not commit it to any release branch so you would have the option of reviewing/changing stuff.
Fwiw; I never signed an NDA for ZF related stuff, only a CLA.
p.s. I could forward you that conversation, but I am not convinced of any such need, and like to keep emails as confidential as possible (which is why I forwarded them to Matthew only).
I just verified the performance of the new implementation.
I created a testbed which tested 6500 IP addresses. These tests were run 5 times to have a good overview.
The old implementation needed a average time of 3.2 seconds per run.
The same tests with the new implementation needed a average time of 2.1 seconds per run.
This means that the new implementation is not slower but even faster as the native PHP implemenation by about 30-35%.
Note that I did this tests within a Win* development environment. On *nix this should even perform better.
Therefor closing this issue as fixed. Great work :-)
Tested by using the adresses from the patch, and additional ones, multiple times.

Full SubmissionThe world population reached 7 billion this year and forty-three percent of those 7 billion are under the age of 25. Today?s generation of young people is the largest in history and as a result they have a critical role to play in adapting to climate change, helping mitigate the impact, and engaging governments, the private sector, civil society, and other stakeholders to set targets for a sustainable future. Climate change has a disproportionate impact on women, particularly young women. In low and middle income countries, adolescent girls and women account for more than half the agricultural labor force and are also the primary stewards for collecting water and fuel. This heavy involvement in resource management greatly increases the risks for women and girls when their environmental stability is threatened. For example, women must walk farther to collect water, work harder to produce crops from dry soil, and cope with various natural disasters such as drought and flooding in addition to disease. Access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) education, information and services is an effective mechanism to mitigate the impacts of climate change in the context of ensuring sustainable development. Worldwide there are about 215 million women with an unmet need for contraception. In some areas, young women between the ages of 15 and 19 are twice as unlikely to have access to contraception. Lack of access to family planning and reproductive health services and information can have severe negative outcomes. Annually, there are about 53 million unintended pregnancies and for young women aged 15 to 19, pregnancy is the leading cause of death with complications of childbirth and unsafe abortion being the major factors. When women and young girls are empowered to manage the timing of their childbearing, they will be able to invest in more resources and in their children. As such, investing in young people and their reproductive health and gender equality can help put countries on a path to accelerated economic growth and equitable development. Using recent data on emission, program effectiveness, and program costs, climate change economists found that responding to the unmet need for family planning and supporting girls? education was much less costly than low-carbon energy development options, including solar, wind, and nuclear power, second-generation biofuels, and carbon capture and storage. Family planning and girls? education programs were found to be cost-competitive with forest conservation and other improvements in forestry an agricultural practices. In addition, empowering women would reduce carbon emission significantly, providing eight to fifteen percent of the reductions needed to avert climate change. Furthermore, for every $1 (USD) spent on international family planning efforts, governments save up to $31 in health care, water, education, housing and other costs because women who are in good health are better able to get the education and resources they need to provide for themselves and their families. Meeting the SRHR needs of young people around the world can contribute to comprehensive strategies to combat the effects of climate change as well as ensure sustainable development for a greener future. As such, we strongly recommend the following: ? Make sexual and reproductive health and rights, particularly among youth, a sectoral priority to renew Commitments from governments, the private sector, and civil societies. ? Invest in rights and evidence-based comprehensive sexuality education and youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services to support young people?s ability to make informed responsible decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. ? Challenge the global architecture of climate change, and its technology focus, and shift the discussion to a more human rights-based adaptation approach. Such a strategy would better serve the range of issues pivotal to improving the health of women worldwide and thus helping lead to a sustainable future. ? Ensure meaningful youth participation in the planning, design, and implementation of program and policies, especially those relevant to SRHR, climate change, and sustainable development.

ZF-1037: MS SQL Server: PDO limit() function does not work when count+offset > number of rows in table
MSSQL PDO limit( function.
The principle discussed and referenced within the code does not work in all cases.
Consider a table view_content_admin with 14 record within it. limit is called with offset:10 count:10
SELECT * FROM (SELECT TOP 10 * FROM (SELECT TOP 20 content.* FROM view_content_admin ORDER BY content.name ASC) AS select_limit_rev ORDER BY name DESC ) AS select_limit ORDER BY name ASC
Given the logic specified in the above query records 5-14 are produced rather than the desired 10-14.
The core logic of the SQL theory splits into creating two sets: 1.count+offset 2.count.
When the 'count+offset' is set is larger than that of the number of records within the table/result there are not enough rows in the set in order for the second set 'count' to capture the desired rows. It will always capture more results than desired. The set 'count' needs to take account of the number rows within the table/result in order to correclty select the limit,offset.
so if count+offset > rowCount
- (rowCount - offset)+1
The difficult task is knowing the number of rows for a select statement. This is impossible to gather in all contexts as the limit function may be called before other where clauses are added. And having to run the query to get the rowCount has significant performance issues.
So in summary When the set of results is smaller than count+offset the rows returned do not match those expect from the offset and limit values. It seems impossible for the limit function to work in its current guise.
How about this solution:
FROM tablename
WHERE key NOT IN (
SELECT TOP key
FROM tablename
ORDER BY key
ORDER BY key
This should reduce the nested subqueries by one, and support the case you're talking about where count+offset is greater than the number of rows in the table.
After thinking about this issue I realize that my supposed solution above only works when ordering by a column with a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint on it. It doesn't work for general usage of LIMIT.
This problem may not be solvable without fetching the query result set up to LIMIT+OFFSET rows, and discarding the first OFFSET rows. This is terribly inefficient.
The other possible solution would be to say we don't support the limit() method for the Pdo/Mssql adapter, because it's not possible to solve it efficiently in the general case. Many cases can be solved by using "TOP" but not all cases.
Instead the limit() method in the Pdo/Mssql adapter would throw an exception; anyone who wants similar behavior must solve it in a case-by-case basis. This would also resolve ZF-853.
This issue is actually a subset of the problems described in ZF-853.
Resolving issue as duplicate.

ZF-10891: Zend_Filter_StringTrim does not work correctly with a multibyte string (e.g. Fullwidth Space)
Zend_Filter_StringTrim::_unicodeTrim has a problem with multibyte string.
This problem is fixed in Related issue ZF-7023, but incomplete.
When the multibyte character string of UTF8 is used, it is necessary to specify "u" qualifier in the preg_replace function of PHP. So it works correctly by adding "u" to 1st parameter of preg_replace.
diff --git a/library/Zend/Filter/StringTrim.php b/library/Zend/Filter/StringTrim.php index f9a2bb7..b786f8b 100644 --- a/library/Zend/Filter/StringTrim.php +++ b/library/Zend/Filter/StringTrim.php @@ -119,6 +119,6 @@ class Zend_Filter_StringTrim implements Zend_Filter_Interface ); $pattern = '^[' . $chars . ']*|[' . $chars . ']*$'; - return preg_replace("/$pattern/sSD", '', $value); + return preg_replace("/$pattern/sSDu", '', $value); } }
This issue seems to happen only in Japanese for me.
Akihiro, do you confirm to happen on other languages? For example, Chinese, Korean.
( And Thai also might have same problem)
If Chinese and Korean have same solution, we could make a model of Zend_filter_Alpha for changing several expressions and using them.
Fixed with GH-107
Certainly, it happens in Japanese. In Korean and Chinese, the same problem was not able to be confirmed (Though the confirmation might be not enough).
However, I was embarrassed as a Japanese user, and I am glad of fix.
Thank you.
Zend Framework minimal version 1.11.11 Same error. Version of the StringTrim.php yonger than the message about fix - * @version $Id: StringTrim.php 23775 2011-03-01 17:25:24Z ralph $
Preg_replace - return preg_replace("/$pattern/sSD", '', $value); - without latter u
Reopen, because this fix is not applied to ZF1 trunk & 1.11.11. And "u" qualifier patch is not correct.Please see ZF2-170 http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF2-170
I do not think /u switch resolves this issue, because the "Fullwidth Space" is not based on international rule, but Japanese specific rule.
I think if we would make this filter fit for Japanese, It will be necessary to make conditional branching by locale as following, or to make new inherited class.
$this->_locale = new Zend_Locale('auto');
switch ($this->_locale->getLanguage()) {
case 'ja':
//Japanese specific rule
$chars = preg_replace...;
$pattern = ...;
return preg_replace...;
if there would exist another character system, it would fall on here in future.
case 'xx':
//original statement
$chars = preg_replace...;
$pattern = ...;
return preg_replace...;

Denise Meredith, Agency and Commodities Director for Colorado Care and Share programs has notified the La Junta Church of the Nazarene that they will not be distributing food boxes on Monday, Oct. 14. No date has been given for when the program will be started again. This program was for qualifying senior citizens in La Junta. This will not affect commodities provided through Associated Charities or other sites in the Arkansas Valley. Care and Share's agency network serves diverse populations of the hungry across southern Colorado, including impoverished children, the working poor, low-income seniors, the sick, the disabled, the homeless and other at-risk populations. The recent Feeding America and Mathematica Policy Research study, Hunger in America 2010, found that: • 75 percent of those receiving our food are living below the federal poverty level. • 27 percent of those served by Care and Share are children. • 9 percent are elderly (this figure is perhaps low as this group is often under identified). • 25 percent of those served by Care and Share are homeless. • 42 percent of those we serve make choices between paying utility bills and buying food. • 44 percent make choices between paying rent and buying food. • 33 percent make choices between paying for medical care and buying food. • 21 percent of households we serve have at least one member in poor health. • 35 percent of the households served by Care and Share have at least one working adult.

Even a roomful of antsy teenagers can feel it, leading them to fall silent moments before the first lady strides into the State Dining Room and greets them with a friendly "Hey! What's happening?" A few starstruck girls gasp, which is exactly the reaction Obama later explains she doesn't want. These high schoolers are the newest inductees into an elite White House mentoring program created by the first lady herself, and they're going to be seeing a lot of her. The program is designed to be as intimate as it is intense, so job one is to get the girls past the gasping stage. To that end, Obama launches into a stand-up routine about the double life she's lived since her husband was elected.
"They call me FLOTUS, for first lady of the United States," she explains, noting that the president's internal White House acronym is POTUS. "And there are many times when FLOTUS and POTUS feel like characters." There have even been times, she says, when she's craned her own neck to see which celebrity might be causing all the excitement. "And it's me. Oh, man, it's FLOTUS. FLOTUS is here. No one told me FLOTUS was coming."
But for all her diffidence, FLOTUS has game. She can wave her invisible wand and make things happen. Like this innovative program, which taps White House staffers to mentor local high school girls, teaching them how to network by providing them cozy access to the administration's vast brain trust. One call from FLOTUS, and a handful of 17-year-olds can be over at the Supreme Court chatting up a couple of justices or at the Department of Labor seeking advice from Secretary Hilda Solis about getting jobs in a tough market. Cosmetics mogul Bobbi Brown will be talking to them about beauty inside and out, and the president's executive chef will bake them chocolate-chip cookies sweetened with organic honey from the hive in the first lady's garden.
FLOTUS doesn't just make an entrance; she opens doors that are normally closed.
"But sometimes," Obama tells her class of mentees, "I just want to be Michelle. So you guys have to start slowly seeing me as Michelle, all right?"
Obama's unabashed hunger to connect at ground level is just as evident when she arrives, a few minutes early, for an interview in her East Wing office. Classically chic in barely-there makeup and a curve-hugging black sheath, she settles into a plump armchair with a grin. "Whew. That commute is murder," she declares.
Oh, where was she coming from? She jerks her head toward the hallway and the staircase leading up to the family's private quarters on the third floor. "Over there!"
Deadpan humor is Obama's default mode—Michelle from the South Side keeping FLOTUS in check—and while her statuesque bearing suggests otherwise, it's quickly apparent that three years in the White House have not increased her tolerance for formality. She leans forward while speaking, locking eyes while she passionately describes the pet program she has managed to keep out of the spotlight: "I wanted [the students] to experience this notion that if you can walk [through] the doors of the White House once a month and sit down with the first lady and her chief of staff and some other senior officials, and they're talking to you and you get used to hearing your voice in the space, then it becomes not a big deal."
And so her program pairs teenage girls with "this wonderful array of women who come from different backgrounds," she says. "They're senior leaders in President Obama's administration, and they all have a story, right? They all have a set of challenges and struggles." Those stories, Obama believes, are best told in person, over time, creating the kind of enduring bond the social media generation sorely lacks. "Even though our children are connecting in ways we never imagined," she told a national summit on mentoring not long ago, "you've got an entire generation of young people truly in desperate need of a friend. Someone they can trust, an example they can follow."
Candidates are selected discreetly by participating schools and organizations, including the Girl Scouts and military-family support groups. The 20 girls, who enter the program as sophomores or juniors, are usually off-limits to the press, their special status not broadcast at the gala events they attend as VIP guests of the East Wing. To the public eye, mentoring is just one of the three issues Obama has built her platform on since her husband's election, along with supporting military families and crusading against childhood obesity. But this cause truly belongs to Michelle and always has.
"It's very personal," she says. "I mean, growing up the way that I did—kid from the South Side, going to public schools—the more my career developed, I realized how much I didn't see, how little exposure I had to opportunities." Neither Fraser nor Marian Robinson went to college, and an education was always the brass ring they urged daughter Michelle and her older brother, Craig, to grab. Michelle rode city buses for three hours a day to attend the distant magnet high school she tested into, and she became class treasurer. But no one saw Ivy League material in the hardworking Robinson girl until she resolved to follow Craig to Princeton after he won a basketball scholarship. "When he got in, I thought, Well, shoot, I know I'm smarter than he is," she says with a laugh. "So if he can go to Princeton, I'll just apply." It became the turning point of her life.
"There were many people who told me, 'Well, Princeton might be too hard for you,' " she says. Obama had been an A student, but those grades were from a public high school, not an elite prep school, and her test scores were good but not stellar. "So I had doubts in the way that I think many of these kids that we mentor have doubts . . . It doesn't matter what your grades are—if there's a message in your head that makes you think you can't quite do something, you can feed into that." But she pushed herself and learned that, yes, she "could actually compete." And succeed.
"I sort of thought, What's the mystery here? What is it about this place that makes some people—even myself—think that some people should have access to it and others shouldn't? And that's where I discovered that there is no mystery to this stuff. It is hard work. It's access; it's being able to envision it."
It's also knowing how to ask for help when you need it. Obama cites a senior thesis adviser at Princeton—"one of the tougher professors in my department"—who forced her to "really up my game in so many ways." Earlier on, there was the student-program director who invited her home for meals, took her on her first trip to New York City and sparked an interest in community service. "She stood out for me, not just because she was African American but [because] she was a professional," says Obama, who prefers not to make her mentors' names public. "She was also a single mom. And she was a very passionate person who was committed to working in the community. She encouraged me to start a day-care program for some of the faculty members' and staff members' children. And I would have never done that without her encouragement."
In addition, she says, her mentor's home was "really a respite for me. When you're in college, it's nice to know somebody who lives in a regular apartment that has a refrigerator and a level of normalcy. She offered a place of peace and calm."
What Obama doesn't mention in these Princeton stories is how separate and apart she was, as a working-class black student in a privileged, overwhelmingly white environment. As reported by Geraldine Brooks in a 2008 Moreprofile, the parents of Obama's first roommate protested to the administration that their daughter had been assigned to share quarters with an African American. And the exclusive eating clubs that dominated campus social life were not welcoming to blacks.
Whatever Obama's feelings about the treatment she received, her current mission is clear: If she can keep the girls she mentors from feeling unworthy on any level, she will, even if she has to take matters into her own hands. Barbara Pace-Moody, who spent every Saturday with Obama mentoring young women from the Chicago housing projects back in the '90s, remembers one evening when Obama did just that. As Pace-Moody told the New Yorker during the last presidential campaign, "We had a big gala, and [Michelle] and her sister-in-law took their own money and paid for the girls to get their hair done and set them up in a hotel downtown."
As a sophomore at Princeton, Obama served as a "big sister" to another African-American girl, Terri Sewell, who worried about fitting in. Seeing Obama get into Harvard Law inspired Sewell to apply when the time came, and the women stayed in touch after graduation as they both pursued careers in corporate law. Sewell, her former mentor proudly notes, "was just elected to Congress" as a Democrat representing Alabama.
When Sewell's district was hit by deadly tornadoes last April, both Obamas flew to Alabama to offer support. At one point during the visit, Sewell hung back to chat with her old college friend while the president and the governor surveyed the scene. But the first lady cut the reunion short.
"You and I can talk anytime," Sewell remembers her scolding. "You need to go up there and make sure you're getting proper coverage as a congresswoman. You should be discussing disaster relief with the governor and president!"
"And she was right," Sewell adds. "She's mentoring me even now."
After graduating from Harvard, Michelle Robinson landed in a prestigious Chicago law firm working on, among other things, lucrative contracts involving Barney, the purple dinosaur. When another African American from Harvard Law arrived for a summer internship, Robinson was assigned to be his peer mentor—a "buddy."
"I greeted him when he was first here," she says. "I made sure that he met the partners that he was working with; I had to take him out to lunch a couple of times."
Had to?
"Had to," she says, laughing.
Impressed by her mentee's work, the partners asked her to persuade him to join the firm once he graduated. Instead, she ended up leaving corporate law to immerse herself in community outreach, and she encouraged her former charge to pursue a different path, too. Barack Obama took the advice—and pursued her as well.
By 1993, Michelle Robinson was Michelle Obama, founding director of Public Allies Chicago, an AmeriCorps youth-leadership program. "I was never happier in my life," she has since said of that job. Working with young people gave her a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment, she says now, "because I saw myself in them. Because I could open up for some others a secret door that hadn't been opened for me."
It's not surprising, then, that when she walked through the doors of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue three years ago, one of the first directives she gave her senior staff was to establish a White House mentoring program. She wanted young women with no connections or clout to use hers, to walk the marbled halls not with a sense of awe but with a sense of yearning and entitlement.
It was also, she notes, a gesture of "complete self-interest . . . I always wanted that component in my life, in my work." She zeroed in on sophomore and junior girls and ruled out high-risk kids who would need more expert intervention. At the same time, she didn't ask for honor students. "The kids who are already at the top are often on their way, and they oftentimes have access to other opportunities," she explains. "We were looking for the kids in the middle, the kids who showed promise but still could benefit from some interaction with [professional] women."
Jocelyn Frye, Obama's director of policy and projects, reached out to female White House staffers, assigning two per student and requiring each to commit to meeting her mentee in person for one monthly activity. How much time they invested beyond that was up to them. The volunteer list soon resembled a Who's Who of the White House: Valerie Jarrett, the senior adviser sometimes described as the president's second brain; Cristeta Comerford, who immigrated from the Philippines and worked her way up from hotel kitchens to become the first female executive chef in White House history; even a supervisor on the Secret Service's elite presidential detail. It wasn't long before the CFO of the Executive Office was helping a vision-impaired Junior ROTC officer whittle down her college choices, and the Secret Service agent was cheering in the bleachers at a junior varsity volleyball game. (Obama has given up having her own mentee, to make it easier for her to connect with all the girls equally, Frye says.)
"They're a fascinating group of girls," says Allyson Laackman, 54, whose biggest dream at her mentee's age was to become a bank teller and who went on to oversee an $800 million budget as CFO of the Executive Office. Of herself and the other mentors, she says, "We're 18 again. We get to see life through their young eyes." The relationship has also filled a personal void for Laackman. "My husband and dog are in Chicago, and my kids are in college," she says. "So this [program] gives special richness to my time in D.C."
Patrice Haney, 19, a graduate of D.C.'s notoriously rough Anacostia High School, headed off to her freshman year at Middle Tennessee State with a shoebox full of photographs and programs from White House events she attended. Haney was paired with Leslie, a 42-year-old Secret Service agent (who asked that her last name not be published). "She's always telling me to stay focused," says Haney. Leslie remembers how, at first, Haney was surprised to see her show up on the sidelines of her cheerleading competitions and softball games; sometimes she even brought friends along. "The coaches kind of called us out," Leslie admits sheepishly; these events were sparsely attended, and one player's having a very vocal personal fan club did not go over well.
Haney was valedictorian at her high school graduation last spring. Just as she was about to give her speech, she says she felt her confidence begin to falter. What she did next: "I closed my eyes and told myself, If I can talk to Michelle and Barack Obama, then this should be a piece of cake. Then I opened my eyes and talked about new doors opening for us."
That kind of transformation is exactly what Michelle Obama tries to inspire not only in the White House mentees but also in the many other young girls she meets in her travels around the world. As FLOTUS and POTUS, she and Barack Obama often take underprivileged local young people onto campuses such as Oxford. "Because first," she says, "in order to have a vision, you have to know what's there, right?"
But dreaming is only part of her message to the girls. Even more imperative, she tells them, is taking action to make dreams happen. José Rico, who was one of Obama's first mentees back at Public Allies, remembers the vague, pie-in-the-sky answer he gave when she asked him what he wanted to do. He was 23 and had abandoned a fledgling career in engineering to become a community organizer.
"I want to build my own school," he announced.
"What are the next steps you need to take to build your school?" she asked.
"I haven't thought about that," he admitted. Obama immediately put him in touch with her husband, who was working with a school-reform group at the time. Rico became an educator and championed a successful crusade to build a public school in an underserved Hispanic neighborhood of Chicago.
"Hey, I did it," he told her when they ran into each other seven years ago. "She gave me a big hug and said, 'Well, I knew you could.' " Today, Rico works in the Department of Education as deputy director of a program that aims to boost the academic achievements of Hispanic-American students.
Paying it forward is a concept that Obama hopes to plant in her mentees and that she fully expects her two daughters—"my prime mentees"—Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10, to practice.
"This is the first year that my oldest daughter has branched out into service on her own, seeking out opportunities," Obama adds. "And like me, she loves working with kids."
Ultimately, it's the mother in Obama who yearns to help shape the futures of these teens who at first gasp at the sight of her, then later feel chummy enough to tell her, as one girl did, how "fly" her sweater was and to ask where she got it. She has no plans—and no real desire—to chart the program's impact or quantify its success. Human connection can't really be measured that way, she feels. "Will all the girls go to college?" she muses. "Don't know. Will all of them go to some fancy Ivy League college? Oh, definitely not. But they will feel good about themselves. They will know that they've breathed in some of the most rarefied air, and it felt normal to them. They know that if you can do this, then there isn't anything you can't do.
"There isn't any room you can't walk into."

A Snyderville Basin development that maintains a rare policy allowing bicyclists onto its private roads will stop doing so next week, indicating that there are increased safety concerns as construction continues.
In a prepared statement issued on Monday, The Preserve developer said there are "growing concerns of safety due to an increase in home construction" in the three phases of the project.
The ban is scheduled to start on May 28, the day after Memorial Day. The statement indicated gates will be closed at the two access points on Bitner Ranch Road. A sign posted at a gate at The Preserve cited both safety and privacy concerns as reasons for the ban.
"While many of The Preserve's homeowners are road bikers themselves, they feel it is important to restrict the private road access at this time to ensure their safety and that of fellow road bikers," the developer, Kirk MacDonald, said in the statement. "We hope the local biking community understands this decision and has had the opportunity to enjoy the great access we offered during the past decade."
The Preserve is situated nearby the better-known Glenwild development north of Interstate 80. Bitner Ranch Road is the artery street leading to the site.
The statement said The Preserve had been the only one of five communities off Bitner Ranch Road that allowed bicyclists on private roads. Developments in the area with private roads typically do not allow bicyclists onto them.
MacDonald said in an interview approximately 10 miles of roads will be affected by the ban. He acknowledged the roads are a "fabulous place to ride" bicycles. Bicyclists sometimes reach speeds faster than 30 mph on downhill stretches of road, he said.
"It's the danger of an accident, really, more than anything else," he said, noting that construction trucks and heavy machinery will be operating within the project.
Up to eight homes will be under construction during the summer, MacDonald said.
The ban does not involve the 12 miles of trails that are within The Preserve. Bicyclists, hikers and horseback riders frequently use the trails, MacDonald said.
The prepared statement indicated the public will still have trailhead access to the Cobblestone Loop, Flying Dog and Preserve Connector trails. The public will "continue to enjoy uninterrupted use of these trails," the statement said. The trailhead access points are not within the development itself.
The ban on cycling on the roads in The Preserve will be a loss to the Park City area's robust road-cycling community. There are few places in Park City or the Snyderville Basin that offer long stretches of road with little traffic like those in The Preserve.
"It's a fabulous place to bike. I know that," MacDonald said.
Mountain Trails Foundation, a not-for-profit advocacy group, was aware of the decision by The Preserve. Charlie Sturgis, the executive director of the group, said he hopes the roads in the development can someday be reopened to bicyclists.
"We should be thankful for the number of years we had to ride up there," Sturgis said, calling The Preserve an "attractive place to ride."
He said bicycling at The Preserve is a nice experience for riders, describing riding routes that include uphill and downhill segments. He also noted the low volume of traffic.
"A large majority of the road riders in town probably used that area," Sturgis said.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Tools & Equipment
Tomato Trellises (page 2 of 3)
by National Gardening Association Editors
String and Bar
Commercial greenhouse growers train indeterminate tomatoes up strings. This method requires some pruning of side shoots. Shep Ogden recommends inexpensive 2x2 stakes that are eight feet long. He buys 2x4s and rips them with a power saw. After pounding them into the ground 12 to 18 inches, you'll have a stake that's six to seven feet tall. The bar across the top is made of 10-foot-long 3/4-inch electrical tubing from a building supply store. You flatten two inches on each end, then drill a hole in the center of the flattened area an inch in from the ends.
Set the stakes 10 feet apart, lay the bar on top and run one-inch galvanized sheetrock screws through the holes down into the tops of the stakes. The work goes fast. The system is very strong, and it comes apart easily in the fall.
To train tomatoes up the string, start when the plants are about a foot tall. Make a loose knot that cannot slip and become tight around the base of the stem just below a sturdy leaf or shoot. Then run the twine to the bar and and tie it loosely, leaving about two feet of extra line hanging over the top. As the tomato vine grows up, you just wrap the leading shoot around the twine, so the two are braided together. That twisting eventually uses up all the twine you left at the top. When you need slack, you loosen the knot at the top, take what you need, and tie it again. If you use untreated twine, you can cut everything out quickly in the fall and toss it on the compost pile.
If you take out all side shoots, you should space plants closely, about foot apart. It's important to leave enough foliage to protect fruit from sunscald, especially in hot, sunny regions. If you space plants 18 inches to two feet apart, you can let a few side shoots grow near the base of each plant. Tie on a string for each side shoot and start braiding the sprouts. Unsupported side shoots can tear off the main stem just as the fruits are heaviest and ready to ripen. When shoots reach the top, you top them. This trellis works well for cucumbers and pole beans, too. In Holland, gardeners grow squashes, eggplants and peppers this way.

County's top 10 invasive weeds
June 2, 2011
Knotweeds: This shrub-like perennial looks like bamboo and can grow up to 10 feet tall. It causes problems to river ecosystems, such as that along the Skykomish, because it affects water temperature, which threatens salmon redds, or nests of eggs. Herbicides only work on this resilient weed in the fall when it tries to produce seeds. The county received a grant to fight it. (Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health)

Even though the measurements are posted, the small size surprised me a bit - you can't really fit necklaces or any bangles.... but I am enjoying it for my bracelets. Now I am searching for something comparable in a larger size for my necklaces - hopefully without breaking the bank. February 5, 2015

By Darcy Gruttadaro, NAMI Director of Child & Adolescent Action Center
NAMI recently prepared a statement for a Senate hearing examining the use of psychotropic medication for children in foster care. NAMI is pleased that the Senate is looking closely at this issue and that the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently released a report on the issue. The GAO report calls for states to more closely monitor the prescribing of psychotropic medications for children in foster care. This is a critical first step, but is not enough.
Expert prescribing guidelines for psychotropic medications should be developed and distributed by states to agencies and mental health professionals that serve children in foster care. Training, support and technical assistance are needed on an ongoing basis to help ensure that the guidelines are being used and followed.
Given the high prevalence of children in foster care with mental health care needs, these children should be screened and for those who screen positive, provided with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and a physical examination to rule out other physical health conditions that the child may be experiencing. All of this must be paid for by Medicaid and private insurers.
Our nation has a critical shortage of child mental health professionals, making access to care extremely difficult for all families, including those involved in the foster care system. States need to support access to scarce psychiatric care for children by supporting collaborative care and integrated care models that encourage the development of partnerships between families, primary care and mental health providers. NAMI recently released a family guide on integrated care that outlines the effective collaborative care and integrated care models that exist around the country and that benefit children and families.
Our nation must get serious about providing effective and evidence-based psychosocial interventions to all children with mental illness, including those in foster care. Many psychosocial interventions have been shown through research to work for children with mental illness, some as part of a comprehensive treatment plan along with medications and some on their own. These include cognitive behavioral therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, functional family therapy and more. Sadly, these interventions are often not available because providers are not trained in them and/or they are not paid for by private insurers or through Medicaid. The provider community, state Medicaid Directors, private insurers, federal agencies and others should work to ensure that there is a trained work force that understands how to deliver these effective interventions to children both within and outside of foster care. The availability of psychosocial interventions will impact the rate of psychotropic medications prescribed for children in foster care.
Finally, more research is needed to better understand the long-term safety and effectiveness of psychotropic medications for children, especially very young children. With the exception of stimulant medications for children with ADHD, there is very limited research. Although medications, when prescribed appropriately, can be lifesaving for children, more must be learned about their long-term impact on children's health.
If we want to get serious about protecting the health and well-being of children in foster care, then we must look at all of these variables that directly impact the care provided to these children. These issues transcend the foster care system and pertain to all children and youth living with mental illness.

Acharya Elected President of International Studies Association
Professor Amitav Acharya has been elected the 2014 - 2015 president of the International Studies Association (ISA).
With three years to serve on the ISA executive board as president-elect, president and past president, Acharya will promote inclusivity and work to increase ISA's international presence.
"My first goal is for the ISA to be truly global and inclusive, with no marginalization," said Acharya. "I will try to give more subsidies to participants from countries that have never attended ISA. Asians are beginning to come, and Indians and Singaporeans, but not many Latin Americans or Africans. I want to see if we can increase participation from those areas, cultivate more long-term associations and set aside some funding for them to attend."
Fittingly, Acharya was abroad when he learned of his nomination.
"I was flying with my family from my hometown in India to Kolkata, and then we were going on to Bangkok for the flight to Washington, D.C.," said Acharya. "I turned on my BlackBerry in Kolkata, and I saw a message from the chair of the nominating committee, saying 'Congratulations, you've been nominated.' I had absolutely no clue that I'd been nominated - it was a total surprise."
The support of AU officials, including SIS Dean James Goldgeier and AU Senior Vice Provost and Dean of Academic Affairs Phyllis Peres, was crucial to Acharya's acceptance of the nomination.
"Amitav Acharya is one of the top scholars of international relations in the world, and his election as ISA president is wonderful news for the association and for the school," said Goldgeier. "His broad and deep global experiences make him ideally suited to lead ISA."
In addition to his goal of diversifying the ISA population, Acharya plans extensive travel - to visit regional ISA meetings in India and throughout Latin America and to organize a conference in Africa.
"If I hadn't come to AU, I wouldn't have become the president, because I wouldn't have had the opportunity to network," said Acharya. "I was given a home in a stimulating place. Being at American since 2009 has helped me build my credentials with a group of supportive people. It's tremendous."
Acharya, the current president of the SIS faculty, is the third member of the SIS community to act as ISA president. Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence J. Ann Tickner served from 2006 - 2007 and the late William Olson, dean of SIS from 1980 - 1986, held the post from 1968 - 1969. The International Studies Association was founded in 1959 to promote research and education in international affairs.

ZF-4053: Silence cycle exception in Zend_Json_Encoder
I need a way to silence the exception thrown when cycle detection is switched on and one is detected in Zend_Json_Encoder.
This relates to issue ZF-4040.
The aim is to still generate a valid JSON string even if cycles are detected. In place of the repeated object we could insert
"* RECURSION ([Class Name]) *"
into the JSON string.
To accomplish this we could use:
protected function __construct($cycleCheck = false, $silenceCycleCheck = false)
or convert $_cycleCheck to an integer and introduce a Zend_Json_Encoder::SILENT_CYCLE_CHECK constant to avoid a new constructor/method argument.
Zend_Json_Encoder::encode($value, Zend_Json_Encoder::SILENT_CYCLE_CHECK);
Based on IRC discussion with Matthew we have decided to add an $options argument that accepts an associative array.
The option to silence the exception will be called "silenceCyclicalExceptions".
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

When to Schedule Your Appointment
The following unit benchmarks are approximate, since most students do not take the 31 units a year required to graduate in four years.
0-12 Units
Attend New Student Orientation and Advising Day. Admissions and Records staff must register you for your first semester. They have a list prepared by Liberal Studies from which you must choose courses. If you are required to take remedial courses, you must register for them. For your other courses, register for GE areas A, E, and start your American Institutions requirement.
If you are a freshman enrolled in 12-15 units--See your advisor at the latest by the end of your first semester, earlier if you are having difficulty with your registration or courses. Talk about your grades and completion of GE that cannot be met in the major. Many major courses also meet GE; however, most GE courses do not fit into the major. Discuss GPA and its effect on your future study.
30 Units
You are now a sophomore. Take your academic advice only from your major advisor. See your advisor to review your progress in completing GE within the Preparation for the Major requirements. Discuss any academic difficulties you are having. If you have completed English 1A, take Humanities 85 this semester.
45 Units
Complete your Core GE and complete all lower division courses in the major. Talk to your advisor about taking the Writing Skills Test (WST) to be ready for entering upper division standing. Take Hum 100W or LLD 100W as soon as you reach 60 units. Start saving upper division work for your portfolio and discuss it with your advisor.
56-60 Units
Transfer students, send unofficial copies of your transcripts from each college you have attended to the Liberal Studies Office (See address on front page) or you can bring them to room 207 Faculty Office Building, #17 on the map. Leave your current name and phone number we may call you to schedule an appointment when weeceive all the materials we need. Ms. Goldie will evaluate your college transcripts and determine which major requirements you have already met. All students should complete Core GE, preparation for the major and Humanities 85 during their first year. You should also start saving your upper division work for your portfolio.
70 Units
Choose an emphasis or a minor if you have not already done so. Plan the rest of your college program, paying attention to what semesters courses are likely to be offered. Continue saving your work for your portfolio. Make sure you have taken the WST or plan on taking it soon.
80 Units
Discuss the various advantages and connections of course choices with future degrees or careers or credentials, such as planning for a Supplementary Authorization to teach a single subject at the middle-school level. Take any lower division GE requirements you have not yet completed as well as 100W before you are a senior (90 units).
91 Units
Start to plan for graduation. Meet with your advisor to choose the remaining courses for the major; bring documents showing grades for any courses you have completed at other colleges since your first advisement session for the major. We will discuss with you when you should be ready to graduate and when you must apply.
102 Units
Meet with your advisor to complete your major form. When completed, you will receive a call to pick it up in our office. YOU must pick up the form and complete the application process. Make plans for applying to graduate school or the credential program if you plan to continue your schooling.
113 Units
Report to our office any substitutions for courses on your major form. If you plan to enter a credential program at any school, ask for a partial subject-matter competency letter. Turn in your portfolio your last semester. Deadlines are stated on the portfolio sheet outside the office.
124 Units
After your final grades have been posted (check web) and your BA has been posted (usually in late January, June or September), ask for your final subject-matter competency letter if you are in a credential program. Or if you have not been cleared for graduation, find out what the problem may be. Frequently the problem is that transcripts of recent courses taken at another school have not arrived. If you have an incomplete at the date of graduation, you will not graduate until you complete the course.

Consider if you will...
At the end of that season, H. Wayne decided to change directions, and went after Bill Parcells to run his football operation.
Meanwhile, in Atlanta, owner Arthur Blank was dealing with his own issues. In '07 - with a few games left to play - coach Bobby Petrino quit to take another job, thus out-weasling little Nicky.
Blank decided to change directions, and just who do you suppose Mr. Blank sought to run his football operation? You guessed it. Bill Parcells.
Parcells talked with both owners, but in the end decided to come to Miami because of the situation (the team had been 1-15, and turning that around would make him look great!) and he had a relationship with Huzienga.
We all know how it turned out here. Parcells, Ireland, Sparano.
But in Atlanta, Blank turned to Rich McKay, who was already on his staff as GM and President. McKay was a lesser-known, but he helped build up the great Bucs teams of the late 90s and early 00s. And he was already assembling a decent team in Atlanta. Then, they went after Thomas Dimitroff, who was Scott Piloli's top scout in New England. Not surprisingly, the Patriots are not the same without those two in charge. And finally, they found Mike Smith to be their coach.
So, both teams changed their hierarchy, and put people in place to run the football operation. In 2008, both teams went 11-5 and lost in the first round of the playoffs. Sparano and Smith split the coach of the year honors.
Then last year, the Falcons went 9-7, and the Dolphins 7-9. This year, the Falcons are 4-1, and the Dolphins 2-2.
But if you get a chance, watch a Falcons game. The team they have there is seriously good. They've got talent everywhere, and have depth. Their special teams plays as well as anyone's, they have a good running game, and a very good third-year QB in Matt Ryan. There's no quit in them, and I suspect they'll go far this year. 11 wins is probably well within their reach.
Would I say they're "better" than the Dolphins? Its hard to say, but probably. I'll be interested to see how they both net out at the end of the year...
3 comments
Actually Falcons had a lot of their talent in place even before the 2007 season. Remember before the whole Vick thing, the Falcons were a decent team. If you don't believe me, look at their roster back then and look at their roster now. It has not changed a whole lot. Thats why when people say we should have drafted Ryan, I say there is a good chance he would not have been as successful over here as he is in Atlanta.
Wouldn't it be great to see a Dolphins-Falcons Super Bowl? I'm all for it! Dolphins need to get it together though.
stevenF is right on the money. McKay had assembled a good team in Atlanta, and they were able to continue on.
And that leads me back to my previous post: Parcells & co decided to remake the roster in their own way. Whether that was necessary or not is debatable - if it was, Miami started off needing a lot of upgrades and had to insert a lot of new talent.

BOULDER - The University of Colorado women's soccer team is already showing why 2012 is a completely fresh start. In their 2-0 home opener win against LIU Brooklyn, the Buffs made history.
The win was the Buffs' third shutout in as many games. It was the first time in CU history the Buffs started their season with three shutouts and the first time since 2008 the team had three shutouts in a row. The Buffs are now 12-4-1 in home openers.
The game was also a big one for junior Anne Stuller. She scored both of the team's goals for the second time this season. Stuller is the first player since Nikki Marshall in 2007 to have two two goal games in a season.
Her first goal was a deep shot off a rebound, assisted by fellow junior Hayley Hughes. Just minutes later, she rushed all the way into the net to put the game away 2-0.
"We're pleased to get the win," head coach Danny Sanchez said. "It was a great win, great crowd and great atmosphere. It's great to be at home."
The first half began all too familiar for the Buffs, going into the break with a 0-0 tie. The Buffs and Blackbirds both came out on the attack, though CU outshot LIU 6-4 in the half.
In the first three minutes, Hughes rushed to the net from the right, taking the shot. The ball was saved, but ended up right in front of freshman Madison Krauser who headed the ball just high.
After a corner, the Blackbirds came close when Toni Smith hit the post after a corner kick 12 minutes into the game.
The Blackbirds amped up their intensity after senior Evelyn Calderon was walked off the field. Lucy Gunton-Jones took an aggressive shot from 30 feet back, skimming the top crossbar.
Once again, the Buffs were close, but couldn't hit the back of the net. Pappalardo shot just over the edge of the net with less than 13 minutes remaining. With two minutes left before the break, Annie Stuller shot the ball wide, keeping the score 0-0 at halftime.
Stuller took that heat into the second half, scoring twice in less than five minutes. From 35 yards back, Stuller came off a rebound and struck the ball with ease, assisted by Hughes to put the Buffs on the board in the 50th minute.
Just minutes later, the Buffs pressed the net, with a Barczuk header being caught near the edge. CU's momentum helped Stuller to her fourth goal of the season, tying her 2011 total. Stuller avoided traffic to rush into the net and put the Buffs up 2-0.
"Once you're a junior you kind of get the hang of things," Stuller said. "I'm just trying to keep a level head the whole game. I was fortunate to get two goals."
CU got a couple more looks, and LIU couldn't answer. The Buffs outshot LIU 13 to five, and the Blackbirds were never able to make a shot on goal.
"It was really important to make a statement [with this game]," captain Amy Barczuk said, "It was a really great team effort."
Come join the Buffs as they take on Wright State at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday in the final game of the Omni Hotels Colorado Women's Soccer Classic. The first 200 fans will receive a FREE CU Soccer mini ball courtesy of Omni Hotels!
The Omni Hotels Classic opened with Wright State taking on Denver. After two overtimes, the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Less than seven minutes into the game, Wright State senior Emilie Fillion scored her third goal of the season off an assist by freshman Ini Umotong.
In the 18th minute, DU found the net after Nikki Pappalardo capitalized on a WSU defensive error. No team would score for the remainder of the game, though DU hit the post in the final 17 minutes. After two overtimes, the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
DU will meet LIU Brooklyn in Sunday's first game at 11 a.m.

ZF-5238: Feed protocol versions are not taken into consideration when looking up XML namespaces
Changes were recently introduced to Zend_Gdata_FeedEntryParent to support associating a protocol version with a feed and/or entry.
However, this protocol version is not taken into account when looking up XML namespaces during object instantiation. As a result, elements using a v2 namespace will be incorrectly stored as extension elements.
This is blocking development of features for YouTube v2.
Uploaded patch for review: http://codereview.appspot.com/10650
Committed to trunk as r13290.
Merged to release-1.7 as r13289.
Marking as fixed for next mini release.
This hadn't been merged to release-1.7 as I had expected -- r13289 is actually for ZF-5186.
I've properly merged this to release-1.7 in r13379.
