Palm Beach County hotels rebound in October
Hotels in Palm Beach County had a stellar month in October, according to Smith Travel Research.
Hotels in the county were 63 percent full, up by 10 percent from last October. Rooms commanded rates averaging nearly $119 per night, up 7 percent, the researcher said.
Broward County hotels also saw gains in October, but smaller. Hotels in the county were 69 percent full, up by nearly 5 percent. Rooms commanded rates averaging $115 per night, up 4 percent, said Smith Travel.
Year to date, Palm Beach County hotels have seen occupancy rise about 3 percent and rates 7 percent. Broward County hotels have seen occupancy and rate both rise about 3 percent.
Palm Beach County hotels suffered steeper declines during the recession than Broward inns. That's partly because Palm Beach County has a greater concentration of high-end resorts, which saw a sharp drop in business travel as a result of the economic slump, hotel analysts said.

It's easy to get started with ETS® Personal Potential Index (ETS® PPI) evaluations once you receive evaluation requests via emails from your students and others.
ETS PPI Steps at a Glance for Faculty and Other Evaluators
- Step 1
- The process begins when an applicant enters your name and email address into the ETS PPI system and indicates that they would like you to provide an ETS PPI evaluation of their personal attributes. You will then receive an email from ETS requesting that you complete an ETS PPI evaluation for the individual.
Within the email, there are links that allow you to accept or decline the request to evaluate the individual. Click "ACCEPT" to accept the request to evaluate the individual. An email confirmation of your decision will be sent to the individual. Click "DECLINE" to decline the request.
- Step 2
- When you click "ACCEPT" in the email, you will link to the ETS PPI Evaluator log-in screen. If this is the first request you are accepting, you will be asked to create a "New User" account and sign in for the request to be accepted and associated with your account. If you are a returning user, you can log in to the ETS PPI system with the user name and password you created previously.
- Step 3
- Select the applicant from the list, answer questions about your relationship to them, respond to 24 statements (four for each dimension) about the applicant and provide an overall rating of the applicant. You also can add comments for each dimension as well as for the overall evaluation. Your comments are very important to the graduate and professional programs that will be reviewing the ETS PPI Evaluation Report. The evaluation should take you approximately 15 minutes.
If you need to save your work in order to return later to complete it, click "Save."
Note that the system will time out after 30 minutes of inactivity. A session expiration warning message will flash on the top and bottom of the screen. To extend your session time, just click on the "Click Here" link on the message. If no action is taken, the session will close, a message will appear and you will need to sign in again. Your evaluation will be saved up to the point where the session ended.
- Step 4
- When you have completed your evaluation, click "Submit." The applicant will be notified via email that your evaluation has been submitted.
- Step 5
- Click "Back to My Evaluation Requests" to view the status of all of your evaluations.
Anyone applying to graduate, business or professional school will be able to use the ETS PPI system and submit ETS PPI Evaluation Reports. You play a key role in helping applicants complete this important piece of the application process.
To learn more about how it works, view the ETS PPI Product Tour (Flash). If you have questions, contact ETS today.
Learn more about getting started with ETS PPI.
System Requirements
To use the ETS PPI service, you will need Internet access and an email account. The ETS PPI system supports the latest production versions of Microsoft® Internet Explorer® 8 or 9, Firefox® 21, and Safari® 5.1 browsers. If you access the ETS PPI website without meeting these requirements, some functions may not perform optimally or may be disabled.

- 1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1-1/2 cups quick-cooking oats

Reviews for Grilled Bean Burgers
"I've tried a lot of meatless burger recipes and this was one of the best. I had two cups of cooked black beans and no pinto beans, so I cut the recipe in half. I mashed the beans with a potato masher to leave them chunky, which helped add texture. I only had old-fashioned oats so I used those: more texture. I doubled the amount of oil (they're still a lot lower in fat than meat burgers) and used the higher amount of chili powder. I let the mixture rest a little before cooking to blend the flavors. Finally, I made the burgers smaller (eight from a half recipe) to fit the smaller slider buns I had on hand. I'll be saving this recipe for sure."
"I followed the recipe but the result wasn't good. The paddies look was ok but they were too soft.The taste was also strange. It can be a matter of personal taste but i believe the onion and the mortared were too much and the soy sauce wasn't suitable at all.I'll try to do this in a more "mediterranean" way adding salt instead of soy sauce, tomato instead of ketchup, a little onion, celery and white flour to make them more solid. Thank for the inspiration anyway."
"We found these to be bland and too soft to handle. For those expecting this recipe to replace real burgers, save your money."
"Very hard to puree even in my food processor because they beans were so dry. I used a pastry cutter which helped a lot. Little bland in taste but will make again and try to punch them up. Froze the ones I didn't grill between wax paper. Hopefully they will cook up fine."
"I had never tried making bean burgers before, but I was very happy with this recipe. I did change just a couple of things: I pureed the beans in a food processor for a smoother texture, and made them into sixteen mini patties, or "sliders," and as another person suggested, I refrigerated them (layered in wax paper) for a couple of hours before cooking. I did grill them on my charcoal grill, but put them on foil that I had coated with vegetable oil. They cooked up in minutes, and I kept them in a warm oven in a baking dish covered with foil until serving time. Delicious!"

Disease Proof
Cancer in Minorities to Skyrocket in 20 Years...
According to a new study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology cancer cases among Hispanics and African Americans could reach 157 million by 2030, up from 46 million in 1980. For the study, scientists analyzed information from a national health database and projected Hispanics will experience the highest increase in cancer incidence with 142%. Now, these figures may be higher than what will actually happen, but researchers warn the trends are very clear and strong; HealthDay News investigates.
Actually, many experts believe these trends can be reversed with better diet, i.e. more fruits and vegetables, and more exercise. Plant foods are potent cancer fighters. Just yesterday pomegranates were shown to improve prostate cancer recovery. Also, switching to a diet including more fiber and less sugar can stave off diabetes in Latinos.
In related news, recent studies show foods like green vegetables and nuts help prevent ovarian cancer, while stuff like charred meat raises the risk of pancreatic cancer.

Last Monday the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued its guidelines on mammograms, pushing the recommended start age for the average woman to 50 from 40. You'd have to be living inside a mammography machine not to have noticed the maelstrom that has since erupted.
Medical groups like the American College of Radiology and many political opponents of health care reform didn't waste a second criticizing the group for taking away benefits women need, a first step, they see, towards rationing care. But like those ridiculous signs that sprung up at Tea Party rallies this summer saying "Keep the government out of my Medicare," everyone seems to have forgotten where the original guidelines originated. They aren't in the Constitution, and weren't part of the Hippocratic Oath.
In fact, it was the very same Task Force that recommended mammograms at 40 in the first place. It was 2002, and after examining the evidence, the group (comprised of different experts) suggested 40 as a start age (which is why we don't now think it's proper for the average woman to start at 30, or 20). But it also noted that benefits grew over time (meaning those of us in our 40s reaped them least), and that doctors should discuss the harms and limitations of the test along with the advantages. I don't know about you, but my doctors have never, ever mentioned any harms or limitations. In fact, I get an earful at every GYN and internist appointment for having had only two such tests in the last eight years.
Today we know that breast cancer screening is not the panacea women or physicians had hoped. Despite the fact that it has found so many early cancers, the number of end-stage cancers and the death rate have barely budged. That means the types of cancers found early and the types that kill most women seem not to be the same. That, in fact, is what a fascinating study published last November in the prestigious Archives of Internal Medicine concluded: some initial cancers actually reverse themselves on their own. So early screening may pick up cancers that might not have bothered the woman, but now that they're found, of course have to be treated. Hence the harm.
Which is why I'm stunned that women in their 40s are among the loudest critics of the new guidelines. Many point to friends who were saved by early detection. But were they? Maybe their cancer would have disappeared without the toxic chemo and radiation. Or maybe it would have grown slowly and eventually been found and treated successfully down the road. There is a chance their screening mammogram was in fact their savior, but the stubbornly persistent death rate even after mammography was widely embraced implies that is not the norm.
Women in their 40s have also been shouting about friends or relatives who tragically didn't get a mammogram as justification for the test. Dying young of breast cancer (or any disease) is heartbreaking. But when a volunteer at the American Cancer Society claimed that a lack of screening is what killed her fortysomething cousin, I had to disagree, and I believe many medical experts would also. Despite intense chemo, radiation, surgery and everything else her doctors could throw at her, the woman was gone in six months. That aggressive, virulent type of cancer likely wouldn't have responded no matter when it was found.
The new guidelines say that women with a personal risk should of course get screened earlier. But the rest of us, who thought starting at 40 was based on solid evidence, should now realize that evidence (expanded since the 2002 declaration) more strongly points to 50. Rather than scream about the experts taking something (that they gave us in the first place) away, we should thank them for keeping us from unnecessary harm.

Mick Fleetwood was born.
Stevie Nicks was born.
Jeremy Spencer was born.
Lindsey Buckingham was born.
Danny Kirwan is born.
Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood form Fleetwood Mac after leaving John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. The blues-based quartet is rounded out by guitarist Jeremy Spencer.
Fleetwood Mac's self-titled debut album is released in Britain. It is followed by 'Mr. Wonderful' in September.
'Then Play On', the last album by Fleetwood Mac in its Peter Green-led lineup, hits #6 in the U.K. and #109 in the U.S.
Peter Green leaves Fleetwood Mac in Germany during a tour. He is not replaced.
Christine McVie officially joins Fleetwood Mac on keyboards and vocals. The wife of bassist John McVie had already guested on 'Kiln House' and painted that album's cover.
Founding member Jeremy Spencer leaves Fleetwood Mac and disappears with a Christian cult group while on tour in Los Angeles.
Bob Welch joins Fleetwood Mac, contributing guitar, vocals and songwriting. The group rebounds with two exquisite albums released in relatively quick succession
'Heroes Are Hard to Find' is released. Reaching #34, it is the highest-charting Fleetwood Mac album to date—and the last of five featuring Bob Welch.
'Fleetwood Mac', the album that begins a new chapter with the addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, is released.
'Fleetwood Mac' peaks at #1, setting a record for the longest time between an album's release and its topping the charts. Three singles drawn from the album mark Fleetwood Mac's debut in the U.S. Top Forty
'Rumours', by Fleetwood Mac, destined to become the fifth best-selling album in music history, is released.
'Rumours' tops the Billboard album chart for the first of 31 weeks. Ultimately, it will chart in the U.S. for 134 weeks and in the U.K. for 443 weeks—the second longest tenure in U.K. history and more than the rest of Fleetwood Mac's catalog put together.
'Rumours' wins Album of the Year at the 20th annual Grammy Awards.
'Tusk' an adventurous double album, is released. The title track, which features the University of Southern California Trojan Marching Band, hits #8, while the Nicks-penned "Sara" reaches #7.
Pete Townshend, Stevie Nicks, Mick Jagger, Adam Ant, Pat Benatar, the Police and David Bowie kick off the "I Want My MTV" advertising campaign.
'Mirage' becomes the third #1 album of the Buckingham-Nicks era of Fleetwood Mac. Their first studio album since 1979, it yields three hit singles
The various members come together to record an Elvis Presley song, "Can't Help Falling in Love," for the film 'A Fine Mess'. This testing of the waters leads to sessions for a new Fleetwood Mac album.
'Tango in the Night', the final studio album from Fleetwood Mac in the classic incarnation that cut Rumours, is released. It reaches #7 and gives rise to four Top Forty singles
'Behind the Mask', which finds Lindsey Buckingham replaced with Rick Vito and Billy Burnette, reaches #33 in the U.S. A month earlier, it entered the U.K. chart at #1.
The reunited quintet, Fleetwood Mac including Buckingham, performs "Don't Stop" at President Clinton's Inaugural Gala.
Fleetwood Mac's 37-city reunion tour—which follows the release of their #1 album 'The Dance', a live-in-the-studio retrospective— commences in Hartford, Connecticut.
Fleetwood Mac is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the thirteenth annual induction dinner. Sheryl Crow is their presenter.
'Rumours', by Fleetwood Mac, is certified by the RIAA for sales of 18 million copies.

Advanced Manufacturing Forum
Information on the 76th Advanced Manufacturing Forum - Registration Open!
Seventy-Sixth Advanced Manufacturing Forum
October 23-24, 2014
Toftrees Golf Resort & Conference Center
The objective of the Advanced Manufacturing Forum is to provide managers with a setting in which to share experiences and ideas about implementing advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) and advanced manufacturing practices (AMP), and thus to learn from each other. AMT includes computerization of all value-added activities that are related to the design, manufacture, and distribution of the firm's products to its customers. AMP includes innovative managerial practices such as total quality management, just-in-time manufacturing, design for manufacturability, and employee problem-solving programs such as Kaizen Blitzes.
The Advanced Manufacturing Forum held its first meeting in 1983 and remains unique in providing a setting for intensive discussion and idea exchange among managers who are introducing technological and organizational innovations. The membership of the Advanced Manufacturing Forum consists of managers from more than 300 companies who meet at Penn State in the fall and spring.
The CMTOC staff helps managers to clarify problems and issues, to facilitate the sharing of information and experiences and to encourage mutual learning. Four presentations are made at each Forum meeting using a seminar-style format to maximize opportunities for participants to share ideas and information. These presentations are interspersed with small group breakout sessions that permit participants to explore in greater depth any issues or topics that are stimulated by the presentations.
The current theme is lean manufacturing and applying lean methodologies to sustainability, with presentations by managers with extensive experience in implementing lean and/or green practices that focus on product design, manufacturing, and the supply chain. For example, our fall 2012 forum featured presenters from OMNOVA Solutions, Ball Corporation, Toyota Motor Manufacturing, CertainTeed and Saint-Gobain, and the spring 2012 forum featured presenters from OSI Industries, Wal-Mart, Cessna Aircraft, and Xerox. OSI Industries, a major contract food manufacturing company with more than 50 facilities around the globe, discussed the key process indicators currently used, its recently launched sustainability plan, and how it finds ways to pay for it in an industry where one-cent can make the difference between winning and losing the contract. Wal-Mart discussed its sustainability plans and successes, including its ability to affect consumer spending on sustainable products through the products offered and pricing strategies (e.g., concentrated laundry detergent, compact fluorescent light bulbs). Cessna discussed managing supplier relationships in an industry with many specialized suppliers and limited availability. Xerox discussed sustainability from both the manufacturing- and customer-side of the equation (e.g. paper waste, toner). Recent presentations are summarized in The Most Recent Forum Meetings.
If you would like to be included in the mailing list for upcoming Advanced Manufacturing Forums, please send a message via the contact us page and include your name, title/company, mailing address and email address in your message.

I see code from developers using implicit date conversion. I would like a definitive answer to why they should not do this.
SELECT * from dba_objects WHERE Created >= '06-MAR-2012';
I see code from developers using implicit date conversion. I would like a definitive answer to why they should not do this.
Allowing implicit conversions means you are at the mercy of location settings.
If you can name a business where 11 months is an acceptable margin of error I'll be impressed.
There are problems that will occur if a session with a different date format runs the code.
Statement Failure
Bad Data
In this situation because each of the alter/insert statements could be done by different users. They would all be running the same statements, but the resulting dates would be completely different. The insert statements might be buried in a package that is only indirectly being called. Because no error was returned the problem might not be found until much later.
SQL Injection
In this situation a malicious individual could alter there sessions date format in such a way as to give them access to data that they would not normally have access to.
I would say you will not find a definitive answer.
Many of the answers already given here are along the lines of, "If localization settings on the server are changed then this query would give unintended results that may not be identified in a timely manner and Bad Things could happen." Fair enough. But most of the applications I've worked on are not fully localized and in these cases I would imagine the case actually is, "If localization settings on the server are changed then many, many Bad Things will happen very quickly before anyone even has a chance to run this query."
In other words, failing to fully localize may well be an acceptable risk for an application that was designed to run in only one region.

Feed Commodities increases storage
Feed Commodities is a feed and grain business located in Tacoma, Wash. The company recycles bakery by-products into animal feed for use in the dairy and poultry industries. In early 2009, president Jim Seley found that lack of warehousing space was becoming an issue and needed to act quickly to take advantage of rising opportunities within the industry.
"We needed a new building to add warehousing space so that we could introduce a new product to our end users," Seley says. "We had a tight timeline to do this in, or we would have missed a great opportunity."
Seley began researching online for possible warehouse options and decided to install a 100-foot wide by 100-foot long fabric building and worked closely with the supplier to erect the structure in about 30 days (ClearSpan, clearspan.com).
The structure is working well for the company, and Seley says the extra space has more than one advantage.
"We are using the space for much more than anticipated. Apparently, if we have covered space, we will use it," he says. "We converted the parking lot into a building without losing any of the parking lot functions. I can park equipment inside, but if I need the space for something else, I have a great covered space."
The structure's open interior allows ample space and height for material and equipment, and the natural lighting that filters through the cover is an added benefit.

Difference between revisions of "Implement interface contracts"
|Line 39:
|Line 39:
Revision as of 01:04, 27 May 2006
- Provide unit-level semantic input validation.
- Identify reliability errors in a structured way at the earliest point in time.
- Implementer
- As needed; generally as functions or methods are modified.
Interface contracts are also commonly known as assertions. They can be a formidable tool for preventing security problems - particularly if applied consistently, and rigorously.
In many application development processes, interface contracts are not enabled in production software. They are removed by habit in order to improve efficiency. If the efficiency impact is nominal for the project, CLASP strongly recommends leaving such checks in the code for the sake of security.
Otherwise, checks of security critical parameters should be implemented using a permanent mechanism, such as code directly at the top of the function, as discussed in activities below.
Implement validation and error handling on function or method inputs
For each method or function visible outside its compilation unit, specify in code what the expectations are for valid input values. One should validate that each input variable has a valid value in and of itself, and should determine validity in relation to other inputs. Validation checks should contain no side effects. Failures should be handled as specified in design. See CLASP Resource B for the concept on input validation.
Input variables should not be constrained to parameters. Any variable read by the function or method should be considered an input variable - including global variables, and class and method variables. Note that some interface contract facilities will allow specifying invariants for an entire class - i.e., things that must always be true about class data before and after each method invocation - once.
Implement validation on function or method outputs
Perform the same validation between relationships before exiting a function or method. Output specifications are meant to provide a clear behavioral specification to calling code to prevent accidental misuse.
Generally, output validation code is most useful in implementation. It is reasonable to disable such code for deployment or even use pseudo-code if absolutely necessary.

EU, UN, World Bank insist on new global climate agreement
- Date
- 25 September 2012
NEW YORK: Today the UN's Christiana Figueres, EU Commissioner Connie Hedegaard, and Rachel Kyte of the World Bank, came together to discuss the international climate negotiations with the business community ahead of COP18 in Doha this November, where they shared their support for a new global agreement.
At the event, which was hosted by The Climate Group and Bloomberg LP, Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) opened discussions with: "In this country it is important to start with the science", referring to the US' hesitant climate dialogue. She praised domestic legislation, referencing the seven countries that already boast comprehensive legislation and the 118 with renewables targets – which she said is double 2005's figures – before focusing on the global level: "We're mobilizing capital. Trillions in clean energy would not be there without the negotiating process. While this is good news, we are lagging behind if you compare political and private investments to where we should be according to science." She continued: "All can be explained with two words: tipping point. We must make the low carbon economy the norm. We're not there yet, but we're definitely moving."
Connie Hedegaard, Commissioner for Climate Action, European Union, explained how Europe is reducing emissions thanks to earlier commitments made, and answered her own question of whether it is 'top down' or 'bottom up' action that is most needed, with: "Of course we need both. Actions made locally, regionally and nationally complement the international efforts."
Rachel Kyte, Vice President for Sustainable Development, World Bank applauded the international framework for allowing finance, policy and science to come together, but said we are now seeing it reach constraints. She contested: "We have to take the climate change conversation out of its bubble and into cabinet rooms and boardrooms. It is happening, but it is an effort. We must keep the engine – the convention – but drive the energy of the convention in other ways." One way of which Rachel Kyte recommended, is the work of Connie Hedegaard in linking Europe's carbon markets with developing economies'.
America's new leadership
Christiana Figueres pulled the conversation back to the US when she said: "It doesn't matter who is elected on the 6th November. It doesn't affect the science of climate. […] Whether or not the parties agree, it doesn't change the cost to the farmers of this country who have suffered from this year's drought." She said "a simple cost-benefit analysis" will show the incoming leader what to do, yet currently America is letting countries like China take the lead. "China leads the world in solar and wind technology. Why does the US allow that? If the technological skill and entrepreneurial spirit of this country allows this, there will be serious economic effects on this country. The new leader will have to answer to that."
Rachel Kyte also condemned the US Government for not talking about climate change enough. She said we need to implement regulations so that "firms at the cutting-edge in the green economy can progress at speed and scale. Otherwise it's going to be state by state – and America will fall behind."
Hopes for Doha
Christiana Figueres shared positive hopes for the Doha COP18 climate talks. She said: "There is a groundswell, a momentum building. It is a combination of top and bottom action, a confluence of both that is dramatically different to last time. This time it will be successful."
Comparing Europe's economic crisis, Connie Hedegaard suggested "a smarter way of thinking about growth and integration" as strategy for this new round of negotiations. She also reminded the audience of the competitive element to the clean energy economy: "There is demand in the future for energy and resource efficient products. It is a race to deliver solutions and get the markets."
The cost of inaction
Answering a question from the audience about the cost of inaction, Christiana Figueres referenced the Stern Review: "The monetary cost of action is much lower than the cost of inaction. But GDP doesn't measure what is most important – the human cost of inaction cannot be measured in dollars or euros."
Connie Hedegaard agreed on the human element but reiterated the financial cost of inaction: "We must avoid the inbuilt decision that if we continue as business as usual, it will cost us nothing. […] There are huge costs, and the insurance industry knows this already; the US drought for example was such a blow to them."
Rachel Kyte even called for a new measurement of cost: "We created GDP at the end of a crisis, World War II. We are now at a new crisis and need to create a new form of accounting to help us make different decisions at all levels."
Global agreement
Christiana Figueres said to accelerate progress we must celebrate the success stories in every sector – much as our Clean Revolution Campaign sets out to do – and Rachel Kyte reiterated the need for a global agreement to allow for the clean revolution to happen at speed and scale. Christiana agreed, using the EU as a successful example of a legally binding agreement. Concluding the high-level and inspiring discussion, she insisted: "We absolutely need a convention. It won't be easy; it will be exponentially more complex than the Kyoto Protocol. But we absolutely need a global agreement."

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jfen63 This was a great find! My daughter and I found this online while we were remodeling her bedroom. Excellent quality, well built, and such a clever way to store all of her jewelry without taking up room on her dresser. We have already had 3 people ask where they can get one. May 31, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mom2boys My Mother's Day gift Since my mom passed away and I inherited some of her fun jewelry, I asked my husband to purchase this item on sale for Mother's Day. It is heavy with seemingly sturdy construction. When it arrived at my doorstep, the exterior was in perfect condition. The interior of the door (behind the photos) is a bit damaged from the warehouse with some chipped paint and wood showing. While this was disappointing, we decided to keep it anyway as the rest of the piece is in good shape. May 24, 2014

"Frathletes". We all need one.
Submitted by Katie Macarelli on
As female athletes, we are the type of women who are driven to succeed. This is obviously a good thing and it's often why we choose to have friends who are also athletes. Studies prove that when you hang out with "winners" you tend to be one yourself. [Editor's note: I may have watered down that Harvard study I heard on NPR, but you get the gist].
Our friends often double up as our training partners. It's a convenient, healthy form of hanging out. Training and racing together; we celebrate our victories as well as our struggles and defeats. I've been studying this dynamic with great interest lately. I'm now 37 years old and am starting to realize just how important my female friendships (particularly the ones I have with fellow female athletes) are.
Did anyone catch this fantastic photo of these women after their Cx Nats race? THIS says it all to me. When you find this (in my opinion), you've found GOLD. I was lucky to find one such friend about a year ago. Amanda Cyr and I met at the BRAC Women's Summit when she said something extraordinarily funny that made me snort beer out my nose. For those of you who know Amanda, this should come as no surprise. We've been fast friends ever since.
As the miles have sailed by on the bike, we've gotten to know each other quite well. This is a miracle in and of itself, since it's actually quite hazardous for us to ride together. We make each other laugh so hard we nearly crash at least 3 times per ride. And even though she makes me laugh like no other, being a friend isn't all sunshines and rainbows. Amanda is stronger than anyone I know. Some of you might know her background. If not, here goes.
I once weighed over 350 lbs. A doctor informed me I was in liver failure at the age of 26 and that if I didn't radically change my life-style I would die a very early and avoidable death. I spent the following two years losing 175 pounds, running a marathon, completing a couple of duathlons, and then starting to race for a local women's cycling team. To say I restricted calories would be putting it lightly.
Calories in vs. calories out is math. And math is something that has always made sense to me. Once I figured this out and was told "food is the only thing you can control in your life" it was like a switch was flipped. Fast forward two years after that and I now have a fucking eating disorder.
Yep. You read that last part right. An eating disorder. Somewhere back around September on a ride up in Boulder, Amanda shared this with me. Not in these words, of course. And in that moment, I was SO thankful that we became friends. So happy that I had earned her trust. I didn't know exactly how to help, but I knew I WOULD BE THERE TO HELP. Because she'd been there to help me.
When most people hear Amanda's background they think, "How great. What a happy ending." She preferred to think of it as something that was over and could be boxed up and put on a shelf. Something like "I was heavy, then I exercised, ate better, lost weight and now I'm FIXED! Fixed, happy and healthy!" But that box is waaaaaaay deeper than it looks and that box is leaking.
Amanda had an eating disorder that went one way, then she reversed it and it's now on the other end. After losing 175 pounds, she stopped eating enough. As in not even close. As an elite athlete, she was starving herself. Always with the idea that people were still watching and judging what she ate as if she were still 350 pounds.
Amanda likens it to not having properly scrubbed out a bunch of road rash after a crash. Now she's having to rip open the scab and pour a bunch of bottles of hydrogen peroxide all over it (and we all know what that feels like). So once she ripped open the scab, here's what happened next:
My very first conversation after being diagnosed with an eating disorder was with my coach to fill her in on what was happening. She knew I was going to see someone about some of my "food stuff" and had helped me find the right person. The phone call was not a shock to her. Nor was the diagnosis, so I learned.
Me: "I have an eating disorder"
Coach: "Yea, I know."
Me: "But I didn't intend for this to happen.
Coach: "I don't think anyone intends for this to happen."
Me: "This fucking sucks."
Coach: "Yea, I know it does."
You might be wondering why Amanda is choosing to share this. My strong friend is a little tired. She is tired of hiding it. Tired of normal conversations where she dances around it. Her therapist is helping her see that (while maybe her background is unique within the elite athletic realm) the problem she faces now (Anorexia) is all too common with female athletes. Females in general. In other words, with you or I or one of your close female friends.
I want it to be VERY clear that this isn't a doctors fault or a typical result from undergoing extreme weight loss. This is my own experience with my own health on my own journey. Because of the weight loss I have a new life, one I hope to enjoy more and more with the help of a strategically placed support group/safety net. I can't get it off of my mind. I am scared for people to know but at the same time I am so tired of it being this giant secret. Almost like if it had light it would kill off the heavy darkness of it all.
Today I am trying to figure out how I got here, where I am right at this moment, and where I want to go from here. It is important for me to make lists and fill boxes… yea "Type A" might describe me too. So here's a list.
Things I know:
- I have an eating disorder.
- I didn't do anything wrong something just switched.
- I have great people to support me.
- My coach is incredible for going through this with me.
- My best friend is GOLD. The best of the best.
- It will not be fixed overnight.
- Today is another day towards this year or giving it my all. Learning how to dream big and doing everything I can to make that happen.
So. This is the light for Amanda. For my friend. Maybe for your friend. Maybe even for you, while you are reading this. We are opening up the windows and letting the sunshine and light in, ladies. For our daughters, sisters, and mothers. For all of us. Thank you, Amanda. For trusting and sharing.

Tough subject to write about. Both author and friend are brave for being open. It's an important story to share. Hope to continue to see Amanda kicking bootie on and off the bike.

Interesting topic that makes
Submitted by BoulderMan (not verified) on
Interesting topic that makes you think about the people you ride with. On rides we generally talk (at least us guys) about bikes, training...just watch "what roadies say" to get a feel for the banter. Recently I was taken aback to find out that my "training" buddy spent several years in the marines and has fought in wars. We've spent hours, upon hours riding together, drank beers together, broke bread, etc. Not sure where I'm going with this and I'm beginning to ramble...thanks for sharing.

I understand fully what you
Submitted by anonymous (not verified) on
I understand fully what you're talking about. You can go on training rides with the same people for a decade and know everything in the world about their preferences for tires or their feelings on the worthiness of aero road frames or whatever, and not know much, if anything, about them. Don't know WHY we don't talk about more personal issues, it just seems that we don't. Maybe it's just that for most of us, riding is an escape and it shouldn't be encumbered with discussion of serious matters.
Oh, and for the record, your friend spent time in the Marines, not the marines. I know you meant no offense, but to be respectful you'll want to get it right.

ZF-4745: Add ability to cache Zend_Json_Server definitions between requests
Add the ability to cache both Zend_Json_Server SMD and server definitions between requests.
Added Zend_Json_Server_Cache to trunk; same API as Zend_XmlRpc_Server_Cache.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.
Is it possible that the caching does not cache the return type? When I get an SMD in the browser, using a GET request and sample code from the manual, I get the return type right the first time. But on all subsequent requests, I get null as the return type. This happens even after a system crash. Only if I modify the class file that was attached to the server, then the SMD will be correct, again only for one request, on subsequent requests, the return type is null again.
I suppose it's possible -- look through the generated SMD cache and check to see if the return is in there. If not, add a test, and let's fix it. :)
I do not know this component very well: where can I find the generated SMD cache?
You pass a Zend_Json_Server instance to Zend_Json_Server_Cache::saveSmd($file, $server). Typically, you'd then grab the SMD from the cache using Zend_Json_Server_Cache::getSmd($file) on subsequent requests, returning it directly to the client. You can therefore check the file generated to see if it contains return information.
Thanks for the update!
I did do nothing to cache the SMD explicitly. From your explanation I understand there is no default cache. This makes the behavior even stranger, I wonder if it is specific to certain version of OS and or php. Would anyone else have observerd this?

Lupe Fiasco Halts New Mixtape Because Of Recent Leaks

Lupe Fiasco Halts New Mixtape Because Of Recent LeaksPosted byJanuary 30, 2010Filed under:9
Lu talks to MTV news about halting the release of FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE.
Seriously WTF, not to Lu, but to those who keep F***ing it up for everyone else. Art can't be rushed, and it shoudn't be anyways. Allow the details to be seamlessly included as it would allow for a dope track. Good things come to those who wait, and better things come to those who take the time to invest fully in themselves....meaning...stop leaking and let him work....
Lupe is a kool with whatever discision he makes it's bound 2 reap gud fruits. He is a talent and very smart artist. ive been listening 2 oldskool LU and like ARADI ive been listening 2 other artist as well in the same genre like mos def, pharrell, talib qwali and q-tip and drizzy drake. i just just feast for lyrics and can't wait 2 see what these artist do next. oh and im a new member watup everybody lol
on one hand business is business but on the other hand how to you keep up business ......keeping the consumers happy although this will not affect sales much it leaves a bad taste in my mouth
I'm a big Lupe fan, but too much Lupe music out? Dude has released an album in 3 years! And one mix-tape in that period. One song gets leaked and he's pressing the emergency shut down button on everything! Like someone said before, it's not the fans who leaked his music, why should we get punished for it and not get the new mixtape?
Er... Uhm. What? I kinda didn't understand what it meant. But whatever, I been using this time listening to other artist's and it'll be good for comparison when his stuff comes out, rather than an overdose of Lupe's music.
the fans didnt leak his songs i personally was looking forward 2 friend of the people...but i still trust in lupe... we are lazers
Its a shame when you hear these people mad as heck as if he owes us something. No. He didn't promise us it. Music costs money to produce. Its a business and when it isn't profitable, like all other businesses, you stop producing it. Enemy was to promote lasers if I'm not mistaken and it did that. Beaming even more so. E.o.t.S length was perfect in my opinion.

Los Angeles: The prime minister of Belize has described John McAfee, the technology millionaire who has gone into hiding after the murder of his neighbour, as "paranoid and bonkers".
Mr McAfee, 67, has refused routine questioning after Gregory Viant Faull, 52, was shot dead in his beachside villa on Ambergris Caye, an island off Belize, at the weekend.

The businessman, who is constantly changing locations and telephones, has denied involvement in the killing. He claims the Belize police are corrupt and want to frame him, extort money, or kill him.
Dean Barrow, the Prime Minister, has expressed doubts about Mr McAfee's mental state, saying: "I don't want to be unkind to the gentleman, but I believe he is extremely paranoid, even bonkers.
"Mr McAfee is a person of interest. His reaction to being a person of interest is, to put it very mildly, hugely exaggerated. He is now, I think, visiting all sorts of calumnies on our country, and on our security forces, and his behaviour is to be deprecated. Come forward, man."

Appealing to Mr McAfee to come out of hiding, he said: "It is now hugely public and you surely do not expect anyone to believe that the police want to kill you, so that if you come in for questioning you are going to be murdered. That is utter and complete nonsense.
"The spotlight is very much on this issue. Come in and have the police do their job and if it is that you are truly innocent, you are free to go."
More details of Mr McAfee's bizarre life and state of mind emerged in an online journal he posted two months ago. In it he described how he had adopted a personal harem of women, one of whom was described as an assassin.

In a series of interviews with Wired, the technology magazine, in the past few days, Mr McAfee said he was now accompanied by a young woman.
He accused Mr Barrow of "running away with the country's constitution" and described Belize as a "pirate haven".
Mr McAfee added: "If I had overridden the constitution to the degree Barrow has, if I had the power of the gang suppression unit, he would be behaving bonkers too."
Police investigating the killing of Mr Faull have charged Mr McAfee's bodyguard with possessing a firearm and ammunition without a licence.
Mr McAfee, a British-born American who created McAfee antivirus computer software, was once worth about $100 million, but in 2009 he said his fortune had dwindled in the financial crisis.
Last month Mr Faull, a retired builder from Florida, filed a complaint against Mr McAfee with local officials. He claimed Mr McAfee's security guards were walking on the beach at night with shotguns and that his "vicious dogs" were attacking people.
Last Friday four of the dogs were poisoned. Mr McAfee said he did not believe Mr Faull was responsible and accused the Belize police of killing the animals.
In a separate interview with the Associated Press, Mr McAfee acknowledged that he had differences with Mr Faull.
"I barely knew him, I barely spoke 10 words to him in the last three years," Mr McAfee said, speaking on a mobile phone from an undisclosed location. "Certainly he was not my favourite person and I was not his."
