|Second half push lifts Vandals
DENVER - In a back-and-forth battle, it was the Idaho women's basketball team that made the final push to escape Denver with a 68-60 Western Athletic Conference victory over the Pioneers Thursday night.
The Vandals jumped out to a 14-2 lead to take control of the game early, but Denver responded, outscoring the Vandals 26-8 the rest of the half to take a 28-22 advantage into the break.
"We had that long stretch and the altitude was really getting to a couple of our players," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said. "We started giving up transition hoops. It was a bad stretch for us without a doubt."
Denver extended its lead to 10 at 32-22 early in the second half before Idaho made another push. The Vandals cut the deficit to three with a 9-2 run that made it 34-31 with 15 minutes to play. Denver answered with back-to-back layups to extend its lead to 38-31.
Idaho wasn't done, however. The Vandals scored the next seven points to tie the game at 38-all. Idaho again tied it at 42, 44, and 47 before it took its first lead of the second half. A 14-4 Vandal run made it 61-51 with 52 seconds left, and the Vandals went 7-for-8 from the free throw line in the final 45 seconds to seal the win.
"You go out on the road and any win in the WAC is huge," Newlee said. "It was nice to gut this one out after the way the second half started."
The Vandals (5-10, 2-2 WAC) were led by 17 points each from junior Alyssa Charlston and sophomore Stacey Barr, and 16 from junior Addie Schivo, who went 11-for-12 from the free throw line. Charlston went 8-of-16 from the field and notched her fifth double-double of the season and second in her last three games as she added 14 boards. Barr went 4-for-6 from 3-point range and 5-of-6 from the free throw line. Freshman Ali Forde added 10 rebounds two points, two assists and two blocks for Idaho, and senior Jessica Graham had nine rebounds and drew a key charging foul late in the second half. Freshman Christina Salvatore added eight points and four assists for the Vandals.
"In the first half we had a little bit of heads hanging, they were killing us in transition," Charlston said after the game. "We didn't get down though, and I kept saying the small things were going to win us this game. Those rebounds by Ali Forde were unbelievable. With Jess taking a charge, Addie hitting her free throws, Stacey hitting her 3s, this was a huge team win."
The Vandals outrebounded Denver (8-8, 3-2 WAC) 50-44 and held the Pioneers to 32 percent from the field, and just 23 percent (3-of-13) from long range. Meanwhile, the Vandals went 8-of-20 from 3-point range (40 percent) and shot 36 percent from the field to help overcome 20 turnovers. Idaho went 20-for-25 from the free throw line in the game.
The win was the first for Idaho this season after trailing at halftime, snapping a streak of 10 consecutive losses when facing a halftime deficit, dating back to last season.
Denver was led by 17 points from Theresa Wirth, who went 6-for-8 from the field in 21 minutes off the bench. She also added six rebounds in the game, including four on the offensive end. Maiya Michel had 10 points and seven boards for Denver, and Kailey Edwards added nine points.
Idaho will visit New Mexico State on Jan 12 at 5:30 p.m. before returning to Moscow. That game will be broadcast online on Watch ESPN at the following link: http://espn.go.com/watchespn/index/_/id/744808/idaho-vs-new-mexico-state.
The Aggies are 3-2 in the WAC and 9-6 overall after a home loss to Seattle U on Thursday night.

The complex stitches of fishermen's sweaters in Ireland's Aran Islands have become a worldwide symbol of Irish culture. The stitches have come to represent auspicious wishes and elements of island life. The honeycomb stitch in this navy blue turtleneck represents the rewards of hard work, while the diamond stands for fishing nets, the key to success on the harsh North Atlantic.
Made in Ireland. 100% merino wool. Men's sizes M (38-40), L (42-44), XL (46-48), XXL (50-52).
Dry clean.
The thick-knit sweater that we often associate with fishermen has its origins on the Aran Islands at the mouth of Galway Bay in western Ireland. Enterprising women on the islands began knitting the sweaters in the early 1900s, using untreated, lanolin-rich wool. The goal was not only to provide a heavy and water-resistant garment to keep their families warm in Galway Bay's rough weather, but also to supplement the island's fishing economy by making a craft that could be sold year-round and utilized traditional skills and patterns. Journalist and Irish culture activist Pádraig Augustine Ó Síocháin helped make the Aran sweaters especially popular in the mid-20th century by organizing the export of hand-knit sweaters to other countries.
There is a myth that families each have their own patters of stitches, and that a drowned fisherman could be recognized by the designs on his sweater, much like a Scottish clan tartan. While it's true that certain stitches have come to take on symbolic meanings, the diversity of patterns is more accurately attributed to the creative group of artisans who started making the sweaters. Always eager to show off new ideas, creative knitters developed new patterns and taught them to their friends, who added their own twists and passed the pattern along again.
Today, folks on the islands and visitors from around the world often choose sweaters based on the symbolism that the different intricate stitches have taken on. Just some of the patterns found include:

Fall and Winter Comfort with Style
By Ray The Reader
from Missouri
This garment has been a favorite to wear with jeans or cold-weather pants. Best for action filled workshops, outdoor events, places and events that may be happening outdoors or in unheated indoors---provides effective warmth and comfort and also plenty of color and style.There was trouble with the sleeves. The upper portion was far to large, while the length was barely long enough. It seemed to be constructed for maybe a stocky person with somewhat short arms.

Unusual weave
By Lolly W.
from Pittsburgh, PA
Although this sweater is beautifully made and well priced for the quality, the weave is such that the front and back panels and sleeve are see through, almost like net. In order to wear this, my husband would have had to wear a tee shirt underneath of the exact color as the sweater since anything underneath is clearly visible. It is unfortunate that the weave chosen was not different or tighter. I chose to return this sweater and was sorry to have to do so.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

ZF-12453: Zend_Feed_Writer_Feed addAuthor() throwing exceptions
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Feed_Exception' with message 'Invalid parameter: "name" must be a non-empty string value' ../library/Zend/Feed/Writer/Feed/FeedAbstract.php on line 122.
Once that's fixed we get another exception:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Feed_Exception' with message 'Invalid parameter: "name" must be a non-empty string value' in ../library/Zend/Feed/Writer/Entry.php on line 119
This is due to code that won't ever work.
Change line 120 in Zend_Feed_Writer_Feed_FeedAbstract to:
if (empty($name) || !is_string($name)) {
Change line 117 in Zend_Feed_Writer_Entry to:
if (empty($name) || !is_string($name)) {
I think this issue is related to the PHP version, because in version 5.3.6 there are no errors:
$name = 'Joe';
var_dump($name['name']); // string (1) "J"
Add patches. (Unit tests already there.)
I'm using 5.4. But I think this code should never work. Maybe the new behaviour of 5.4 causes an exception rather than a hidden bug. http://php.net/manual/en/…
"As of PHP 5.4 string offsets have to either be integers or integer-like strings, otherwise a warning will be thrown. Previously an offset like "foo" was silently cast to 0." http://php.net/manual/en/…
Fix unit tests. (Replace "assertType")

It is potentially one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the history of Christianity, the ruins of one of the oldest monasteries in Europe. Here, under the location where the altar once stood, scientists have dug up an exquisite marble box holding what they believe to be the bones of John the Baptist, the man who baptized Jesus. If the date of the bones lines up with the Bible's profile of John, could it finally solve the mystery of what happened to his remains after his beheading, 2,000 years ago?

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Trees, Shrubs, & Vines
Low-Maintenance Gardens (page 2 of 3)
by Jane von Trapp
Plants for A Low-Maintenance Design
Here's a list you might receive from a nursery professional if you asked them to suggest plants for a low-maintenance landscape. Two spruces- bird's nest and dwarf Serbian spruce --grow so slowly that they never need pruning. Japanese holly and Korean boxwood are upright, broad-leaved evergreens that grow to 9 feet and 3 feet respectively, and stay that way. The holly's convex, glossy leaves contrast nicely with the Korean boxwood's flat, oval, lighter green leaves.
Dwarf Japanese garden junipers will spread and grow together, forming a bright green mounding carpet. All of the evergreens on our list (see below) retain their color well during the winter months, and in summer they will appear as a quilt of many shades of green from the lightest and brightest to the very dark and glossy.
Deciduous cinquefoil has long been used for borders and ground covers in cold-climate gardens. It grows into a 1-1/2- to 2-foot-tall, 3-foot-diameter mound that flowers continuously from early summer to frost. Flowers are commonly cream, bright yellow, or white, but pink and red-flowered forms are also available. Gardeners in warmer zones can substitute an everblooming, compact plant such as Lantana camara 'Feston Rose' (zones 9 through 11), which produces mostly pink blooms with touches of yellow.
Finally, no fence is ever really perfect until it has a vine growing on it, and to me the perfect low-maintenance vine is climbing hydrangea. Not only does it bloom all summer, but it spreads quickly and vigorously, providing an excellent backdrop for the evergreens. Of all the plants listed here, it is the one you may need to prune, but until then, let it ramble and do its job of covering the fence.

ZF-2224: Behavior of Zend_Validate_Abstract::setMessage() and Zend_Validate_EmailAddress doesn't work as expected
In the following scenario, i want to check an email address for validity and show the user only a single message that the email address which was entered is invalid. (this validator was used in combination with Zend_Filter_Input where the 'messages' => '...' key in the array is ignored in that case)
$emailToCheck = 'firstname.lastname@example.com)'; // note the ')' $emailValidator = new Zend_Validate_EmailAddress(); $emailValidator->setMessage('Please enter a valid email address.'); $valid = $emailValidator->isValid($emailToCheck); var_dump($valid); if (!$valid) { var_dump($emailValidator->getMessages()); }
I didn't set any key for the messages so I expected that all error messages are set to my specific error message but when I looked at the implementation of Zend_Validate_Abstract::setMessage(), only the first message key gets that message:
public function setMessage($messageString, $messageKey = null) { if ($messageKey === null) { $keys = array_keys($this->_messageTemplates); $messageKey = current($keys); } [...] }
So I would expect that I can set all messages to my defined error message but neither setMessage() nor setMessages() has this implemented.
The next problem is located in the Zend_Validate_EmailAddress validator, where the hostname validator passes all messages and errors to the to Zend_Validate_EmailAddress validator:
$hostnameResult = $this->hostnameValidator->isValid($this->_hostname); if (!$hostnameResult) { $this->_error(self::INVALID_HOSTNAME); // Get messages and errors from hostnameValidator foreach ($this->hostnameValidator->getMessages() as $message) { $this->_messages[] = $message; } foreach ($this->hostnameValidator->getErrors() as $error) { $this->_errors[] = $error; } }
There is no possibility to break the chain at any place to only get one single user defined error message when the hostname was invalid.
Each validation class can emit multiple messages, each of which corresponding to a cause for validation failure. A validation failure may indeed be caused by more than one reason, and this is why validation classes can emit multiple messages. There is no method in the public API to change all of the validation failure messages to a single message because this would obfuscate the reasons for validation failure. These reasons are not necessarily intended for display to users, however, and this is where the confusion seems to be.
Of course, you may only want to show a single, consolidated validation failure message to your end users, and this is a common and perfectly valid use case.
It should be simple to implement in at least one of the following ways:
- If you use the validation class with composition, you can detect whether a validation failure has occurred and display whatever message you want to users.
- Extend the validation class and perform the message consolidation there.
- Try Zend_Form for consolidating validation failure messages for display to users.
Reducing priority to minor, since an easy workaround should be present.
Please evaluate and categorize/assign as necessary.
The validation failure messages are not really meant for user consumption. However, I undestand that a lot of people are using them this way.
I suggest that we create 2 new methods:
$validator = new Zend_Validate_StringLength(2);
'Your firstname should be at least 2 characters long',
if (!$validator->isValid('A')) {
$messages = $validator->getUserMessages();
echo current($messages);
// echoes "Your firstname should be at least 2 characters long"
I would also like to note that it would be nice if created a special constant that overrides all error messages. This is particulary usefull for the email validator:
'Your email address it not valid'
this would override all error messages in the stack.
It seems strange to state that the validation failure messages are "not really meant for user consumption" given that Zend_Form by default renders these messages in the form when validation fails and that Zend_Validate automatically will use Zend_Translate if set in the registry to translate its messages for the user.
In particular, the inability to set a single error message breaks the ability to quickly and easily add a Text form element that uses the EmailAddress validator and have a single message such as "Invalid e-mail address" be provided by Zend_Translate. For example, if one sets all of the error messages to "Invalid e-mail address", "Invalid e-mail address" will appear 3 times when a user enters the email address "test@!".
The "easy" workaround for the developer is of course to extend Zend_Validate_EmailAddress (and every other validation class that can output multiple methods) to consolidate error messages after Zend_Validate_EmailAddress' isValid() function is called. However, it seems to be a very common use case to want to display a single simple error message to the user (and there have been a number of questions about this exact problem).
When you want to display a single error from an failed validation use setError() on the form element. This has nothing to do with the bahaviour or the messages returned from the element itself and is only related to the form which is being displayed to the user.
Another way is to define the messages option on the form element which does the same.
Closing issue as setErrorMessage does exactly what was described as problem in this issue.

I think most everyone can agree with me that Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (RPBC) and all the Reese's family home a special place in our hearts and tummies. There's just something about them that just screams taste, comfort and nostalgia to me. That's why partly I love the holidays too, as you can find a Reese's to match the occasion. There's pumpkin-shaped Reese's in the fall, heart ones in February, and egg-shaped ones near Easter. There's seems to always be a different shape in which to enjoy them, in case you get bored with the traditional cup.
Now, there's one thing that's very interesting about RPBC, is that depending on the size and shape, the peanut butter to chocolate ratio changes. Many swear by the minis because there's more peanut butter, others like the regular cups because the chocolate and peanut butter are a little more equal. That's why I was very interested to try these Reese's Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs (the name is a mouth full by itself!) because I was curious if it followed the mini's ratio or if it had one that was entirely new.
Once unwrapped, you see they're egg shaped with a big seam running along the sides. You can tell right away that each side was individually piped though of PB and then smooshes together to make the eggs. The flavor is the same we all know and love with the RPBC, smooth milk chocolate with the salty, roasted, creamy flavor of the peanut butter. I'd say the ratio is pretty darned similar to the real RPBC minis, so aside from the shape and the easier breakage in the mouth, these are pretty much the same thing. I have to say, that the round eggs shape does feel very wonderful to roll around in the mouth.
Any RPBC lover would be thrilled to find these beauties in their Easter basket or shopping cart. The wrappers are so attractive and festive I can't help but love them. I'm going after more of these once the sales start.

I ventured into Wal-Mart the other week after a frustrating swag-less run to Target in search for Easter candy. An act of desperation, I assure you. I needed Easter candy and didn't know where to look next, as Target usually has the best selection in my area. I was floored to discover a beautifully stocked Easter candy aisle, separated by color: pink, green, orange, blue, purple. Candy of all kinds were there, M&Ms, Peeps, Cadbury Mini Eggs, Russell Stover Chocolate Rabbits, Edible Grass, etc. The list goes on. Amongst this rainbow of every candy lover's dream, I found these Gimball's Easter Jelly Beans. I look at the flavors assortments for each flavor, and I found the yellow package to have the most appealing flavors for me.
Gimbal's makes gourmet jelly beans year round, but I was pleased to find special varieties for Easter. The one thing I find appealing about Gimbals as opposed to most other jelly beans on the market, is the price. It's remarkably cheaper than say, the likes of Jelly Belly. Exactly how much, I can't say at the moment since I don't have my receipt on me to make the comparison. Plus, I'm an artist, I don't work well with numbers. That's my excuse.
The bag lists the flavors on the back, showing four beans in a recipe for "Lemon Crumble" using all three flavors in the bag. Opening the bag I get this odd aroma of buttery fruit. Very….interesting.
The beans are beautiful to look at. They are the same size and approximate shape as Jelly Belly's Jelly Beans.
Lemon Meringue: Fresh and tart flavor of lemons. The taste isn't too powerful, too sweet or too tart. All the elements strike a nice balance. Towards the end an extra kick of sweetness shows up which I think is the "meringue" part of this bean.
Pineapple: Immediately juicy and tropical. It has an slight odd metallic taste to it, like pineapple juice from a tin can.
Buttered Popcorn: Very buttery and artificially so. Like "I Cannot Believe It's Not Butter", but in a jelly bean. It's sweet, but has a strong salty edge to it.
A really nice replacement for Jelly Belly, especially if you don't want to spend as much money on some jelly beans. They look practically identical, missing the logo on them of course, and have a strong satisfying flavor. I'm very tempted to go and try the other colored varieties now.

Every time I talk to someone about my experiences with cancer—and my various other health issues over the years—he or she says, "You should really write a book about this..."
Let me prepare you here. This is a REALLY long post. I might cut it up later, but for now I suggest you print it out and take it with you to make a checklist before you go to hospital. Or print it out for your friends who have to go.
I am not a doctor and the FDA and the American Cancer Society will despise me, but I am starting to think I need to give people some of the basic stuff I've learned. If you read this and you know someone else who is unwell—not just cancer because I also had meningitis, a rare liver virus, a spina bifida baby, an ovarian cyst...—please pass it on. Not everything is useful for everyone, but some of it will definitely make a difference.
Let's start with a trip to the hospital. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I walked into Memorial Sloan-Kettering and the very beautiful and lovely (I swear, she is a ringer for Julia Roberts) surgeon said to me, "I can offer you a hysterectomy on Monday." This was Thursday evening. She spoke as if she were offering me a slice of cake. This brilliant young surgeon was famous for her robotic, laser optic surgery, which was promised to have a faster recovery and smaller scars.
I said, "I don't WANT a hysterectomy," which, given her polite and pleasant tone, was very rude, but honestly, she scared the hell out of me and I was scared already because I'd been hemorrhaging for the past two months—it was exhausting just to walk a city block.
Again, fear does strange things to you.
When you've just been diagnosed with something horrid and possibly life-threatening, you do what seems to be the rational thing. You go to the place where everything seems the most calm and organized, where everyone seems to have everything under control. And, in the case of MSK, the place with the most pervasive and convincing ad campaign.
This seems smart. As consumers, when we really freak out, we go to the brand that is synonymous with the product. Kleenex for tissues. Chanel or Hermes for luxury. Sony for televisions. In our house, it's the Apple store for anything computer-related.
However, as it turns out, those big huge predictable organizations and corporations are not always the best as we all learned in 2011. You remember the old ways—if you feel queasy, drink Canada Dry Ginger Ale (but it does not have real ginger in it and the sugar combined with the carbonation will eat through your teeth and give you kidney stones). Or if you have a headache, take Bayer or Advil (which can have a rebound effect and can harm your kidneys). There is no longer safety in what seems to be tried-and-true.
Back to the advice I keep repeating. No matter what your doctor tells you, listen respectfully (but and have a friend with you, writing it all down so you can research the information) and make your own decision.
Think about it this way: McDonald's, which successfully feeds millions of people every day, does indeed have expertise in preparing food. However, its real area of expertise is quantity, consistency, making low-quality food taste good and in keeping profits high.
Now, compare McDonald's to your mum, who has learned how to make nutritious meals for four or five people every night for 30 to 40 years. In her case, the area of food expertise will be about care, higher quality ingredients and taste. You can't always count on the consistency, but it is outweighed by the hands-on mindfulness of someone who loves you.
Basically, the idea is to think small.

I just recently got a .308 Saiga and I was looking at all the different muzzle options available. I've seen DinzagArms site which requires quite a bit a work plus tool rental to thread the barrell. Recently, I saw some other sites that have muzzle brakes that attach with just a pin.
If I were to move my FSB back on the barrel could I use the pin style muzzle brakes instead of having to thread the barrel? Is the threaded muzzle brake better than the pinned one? or are they both just as good?
Please help, thanks.

ZF-11233: Smtp transport doesn't check for timeout
The send method for smtp reuses an established connection for sending mail, but it doesn't check if the connection timed out.
Of course this only occurs when running a php script longterm, as in a daemon context.
My suggestion is to not only see if there's already a connection object, but also use the noop-function to check if it's still alive.
If not, the old connection has to be dropped and a new one has to be established.

Co-founder of Sole2Soul to speak at church
Published: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 4:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 4:49 p.m.
The president and co-founder of Sole2Soul, a non-profit that distributes shoes to impoverished children worldwide, will speak Sunday at St. Peter Evangelical Lutheran Church, 4843 Southport-Supply Road SE, near Southport.
Mary Dahike will preach at both the 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. services at St. Peter. Between services, during the fellowship hour, she and Sole2Soul co-founder Amy Gowan will show a video and talk about the group's current project to provide shoes to Haiti.
Dahike and Gowan, from Kelso, Wash., are both mothers of adopted children from the Third World. In 2012, they founded Sole2Soul to help children still recovering from Haiti's disastrous 2010 earthquake.
Members of St. Peter are planning a two-week mission trip to Haiti in March 2014 to deliver shoes in conjunction with Sole2Soul. For more information, contact the church at 457-5604 or visit www.sole2soulkids.com.

Mayor Williams Threatens Budget Veto; Says Budget Amendments Offered Yesterday are Unconstitutional and Threaten the Goals of the Administration
Posted on 05/16/2013 3:14 pm
Mayor Dennis P. Williams said the City Council Finance Committee's proposed amendments of his Fiscal Year 2014 budget did not reflect the needs of the City. Mayor Williams and his administration worked diligently to deliver a balanced budget with no increase in taxes, no layoffs, and no reduction in city services for the residents of Wilmington.
"The people of Wilmington need help, and I am charged by the people to deliver a solution," said Mayor Williams. "Not increasing their taxes will put more than 4 million dollars in our tax payers' pockets."
Mayor Williams believes the Council Finance Committee is also overstepping its legislative boundaries by proposing to delete an appointed position within his cabinet. Council proposed to delete the Deputy Director position in the Department of Parks and Recreation.
"Our youth are the future of this City. If we are to address the need to reduce crime, it starts with our youth," said Mayor Williams. "The current Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation, Shawn Allen, has a track record of success in creating programs targeting at risk youth and delivers a message of hope."
After consultation with the City Solicitor, Mike Migliore, Mayor Williams believes that it is unconstitutional for Council to propose budget amendments that eliminate a position within his cabinet.
Mayor Williams is also concerned about the $250,000.00 which council is requesting for scholarships and programs without oversight.
"I can agree with the need to fund programs and scholarships, but I would like to know what those programs are, as of today, we have yet to receive any details or clarification for Council's proposed initiatives," said Mayor Williams.
In response to Council's request for funds, the administration suggested we allocate $15,000.00 to each City Councilperson for their individual district. This proposal was rejected by Council.
Mayor Williams presented a balanced budget with no increase in taxes, no layoffs, and no reduction in public safety or city services. He is confused as to why this budget is receiving such scrutiny and dialogue.
"It seems like Council is attempting to operate in the same manner as the previous administration, but It's a New Day," said Mayor Williams. "My administration will work hard to operate this city with ethics, integrity, and efficiency."

|XC honored for academics
NEW ORLEANS – University of Idaho men's and women's cross country proved it can perform at the highest level athletically, and this week the teams showed their skills on the academic side of things.
The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association released its Division I All-Academic Teams and individuals this week and included both Vandal squads, as well as sophomore Hannah Kiser, among those so honored.
Kiser is a second-year Vandal from Wenatchee, Wash. (Wenatchee HS), who became Idaho's first individual NCAA Championships qualifier since 2004. She set several Idaho course records and time records this season and her second career First-Team All-Western Athletic Conference accolade in cross country. Kiser was Idaho's top finisher in every meet this season.
While she was earning all those accolades, she was also busy emphasizing the first half of her 'student-athlete' status. Kiser holds a 4.0 cumulative grade-point average as a Molecular Biology and Chemistry double major.
"With running, it helps me to manage my time, because I know I have a set time when I'm in class, when I'm practicing and when I can study, so it actually helps me with the academic side," Kiser said.
After her athletic career is over, Kiser said she's interested in a career as a medical researcher or potentially a doctor, but for now, she's just gathering as much knowledge and experience as possible.
"I just added the Chemistry major this semester, because I took organic chemistry and fell in love with it," Kiser said. "I'm applying for an INBRE (IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence) research fellowship this summer to work with some professors in the chemistry department here at Idaho, because I'm really interested in things like rational design and I just want to learn as much as I can."
As a team, the Vandal women's squad notched its second-consecutive WAC cross country crown this season and also tallied a cumulative 3.60 team GPA – also tops among conference teams for the second year in a row. That average also tied for 15th among the 205 women's teams recognized with the honor.
"We all hold each other to such a high standard," Kiser said of the women's team. "We know that we're all capable of success both in running and in school and just having that level of excellence everywhere helps bring everyone up."
On the men's side, the Vandals posted the top GPA by a WAC school and tied for 11th among the 147 men's teams listed with a 3.50 cumulative GPA. Idaho's men finished third at the WAC Championships in the fall.
"What more can you ask for as a coach?" Phipps said. "Your priority as a student-athlete has to be on academics, and this shows that academics don't need to be sacrificed for athletic performance. They're a perfect example of that."
To qualify, a team must have competed a full five-member squad at its respective NCAA Regional Championship and hold a cumulative 3.00 or better team GPA. Individual honorees must have either earned USTFCCCA All-America status or finished in their respective region's top 15 (or top 10 percent) in 2011, and also hold a minimum 3.25 cumulative GPA.

Teriyaki Steak RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4.5 16 19
My brother-in-law, Stanley, gave me this recipe more than 30 years ago. He was an officer in the Army, and his fellow officers considered this flavorful steak a high-demand dish. —Dan Mayer, Olney, Illinois
- 1 beef flank steak (1-1/2 to 2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce, divided
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups cold cooked rice
- 1 package (9 ounces) frozen peas and pearl onions
- Place steak in a large resealable plastic bag. In a small bowl, whisk 1/2 cup soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and garlic. Pour half of the marinade over steak. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
- Drain and discard marinade. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat or broil 3-4 in. from the heat for 7-9 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, transfer reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Pour eggs into skillet. As eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When eggs are completely cooked, remove to plate. Chop eggs into small pieces; set aside.
- In the same skillet, stir-fry rice in remaining butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the peas, onions and remaining soy sauce.
- Add eggs; cook and stir until heated through. Thinly slice steak across the grain; serve over rice. Drizzle with sauce mixture. Yield: 6 servings.

A contemporary chair with executive appeal, the Arris Chair was designed to be everything you want in an office chair. Sleek lines and attention to detail are highlighted by the polished aluminum base, frame support, arm support and back accents. Black mesh back cradles the body and keeps you cool. Fabric seat offers a softer seating experience.
Each of the comfort adjustments were made to be user-friendly and easy to customize from the seated position. The back height adjustment is ratchet-style: simply reach back and lift up to desired position. The seat depth adjustment helps you find the right support for your legs and back and operates easily from a push button on the right side of the seat. The paddle on the right affords instant seat height adjustment and includes an easy to turn handle which adjusts the tilt tension. The paddle on the left will lock the chair in the reclined position of your choice, or un-lock for a free-tilting motion. Built-in lumbar support automatically adjusts to pressure. The arms adjust in height, width, and depth to offer customized support for the upper body.

The Whistling Fist
Fist/Chaos Survival
A Blue Mountain Special, by Ryahl
This is the second part of a fist/chaos build that was assembled based on a discussion with a board reader. The "My First 60″ version of the build has been a reasonably successful build and its time now for it to grow up into a 400 point Blue Mountain build. With the Whistling Fist, you develop fairly significant damage and turn escalation into even more of a multi-effect ability.
**UPDATE** I have played around with this build on test. Wearing green QL10 gear and using this build, ghouls and vampires in Besieged Farmlands were quite simple. Impair immune targets were harder, but very survivable. Additionally, as soon as you have the points, dump Gunsmoke for From the Abyss. Your DPS meter will thank you!**
Active Abilities
- Escalation
- Four Horsemen
- Tear 'em Up
- Surgical Steel
- Domino Effect
- Armor Fati
- Helter Skelter
Passive Abilities
- Intensity
- Hot Iron
- Healing Sparks
- Shoot 'Em Up
- Paradigm Shift
- Gunsmoke
- Salt in the Wound
Export to Viper's Deck Manager
(copy this code into Viper's Deck manager, exports are a function of Drakashi's wheel)
Key Features
This build takes advantage of the fact that Escalate currently brings a ton of utility in a two skill package. The core attributes of Escalate include a frenzy PBAOE damage that quickly stacks up the exposed weakened state. 10-stacks of exposed will increase your damage by 30%. Further, the Intensity passive means subsequent applications of escalation give you the minor ward ability, extending your soloing ability just a bit. Paradigm Shift assures that each of your escalate hits increase your hit rate, reducing your likelihood of glancing or missing. Finally, Gunsmoke piles on a bit of damage each time you escalate.
The build goes VERY deep into assault rifle to pick up a single skill, Shoot 'em Up. SeU turns your escalate into an affliction starter in addition to its already stacked up pool of benefits. Since escalates are now adding afflictions, Tear 'em Up will give you a 10% damage boost on usage. Also, Salt in the Wounds is piling on damage every time you apply an affliction, helping scale your escalation damage upwards.
Your chaos finisher is Four Horseman, a burst ability (Call for Eris works well here too). FH as a burst triggers Healing Sparks, keeping a heal over time running for most of your damage rotation. You will also use Surgical Steel periodically as a self-heal, which will also trigger Healing Sparks. Surgical Steel starts stacks on Hot Iron, adding to your heal throughput and additionally adds a heal component to Tear 'em Up.
The build features three utility abilities, you have Helter Skelter, a dash with a built in impair. This lets you start every fight against an impaired opponent. When that impair runs out, you can use Domino Effect to lock down targets again with another impair. Finally, you have Armor Fati as a buff to make sure you land hits (removes glancing and evasion for 10 seconds).
This is a stun lock build. Open with Helter Skelter to shut down your targets. Even though you have fist resources on charge in, your fist consumer needs afflicted state, so follow up your charge with Escalation to set the correct state. Then, use Tear 'em Up followed by a weak Four Horseman (only one chaos resource built, but the 10% damage boost is better on FH than on escalate). Your first impair is likely over, so a quick Domino Effect can lock the targets down again if you wish.
Your standard rotation is Escalation x5, Tear 'em Up, Four Horsemen. Rotate in Surgical Steel early in place of Tear 'Em Up.
Armor Fati can be used one of two ways. On harder fights, throw it at/before your initial charge. This makes sure everything hits and helps you get paradigm shift stacking. On easier fights, toss it at a point where you just want to finish off a target.
You may find that life is too risky with just a fist consumer to heal. If so, swap out surgical steel for cauterize and you have a spam heal.
Build Instructions
This build goes very deep into AR with very little to show for it. Do NOT spend into the AR tree until you have most of this build assembled.
However, you don't need Salt in the Wounds until you get Shoot 'em Up. Additionally, you might as well use Wild at Heart as your fist closer until you get Shoot em Up. The nice things in TeU require affliction and this build needs SeU to set that.
Gear Needs
Paradigm shift helps you with your +hit budget, but you will probably find you need some additional +hit as you level up. Armor Fati doesn't have enough uptime to ignore +hit.
Your damage bursts are probably best coming from critical rating and critical power. Since you have passive and self-heals in this build, penetrate has a bit less utility. You can't penetrate heal, but you can crit heal. I would recommend either a 1:1 or a 2:1 crit rating to crit power investment.
You need all three types of talisman in this build. You need some high hitpoint gear, some attack power gear and a bit of healing gear. I would probably use a tanking headpiece (20% HP), three majors and a minor attack power (60% damage) and two minor +heal pieces (20% healing). Use the attack power minor (10%) as your "fiddle with" piece. If you need more HP, swap it to tanking, more healing swap it to +heal.

The Family, Career and Community Leaders of America held its Fourth Annual Exceptional Rodeo in the Cheraw New Gym on Wednesday. It was sponsored by FCCLA and the Sixth Grade Advisement Class. The Otero Junior College Rodeo Team were head wranglers, with the help of the sixth grade clowns, teachers and paraprofessionals from the four schools sending students to be rodeo wranglers for a day.
Four schools were represented: Cheraw, Rocky Ford, Fowler and La Junta Primary. The All Stars rodeo team also helped out, and there was a Kansas High School Rodeo Team among the helpers. Bailey Bezona, who with Addy Foxhoven received recognition on the state and national level for the rodeo last year, was helping out again this year. Mary Ann Carroll is the sponsoring teacher for the event, which was originated when her son, Shea Carroll, was head wrangler.
There were baby goats to pet and a pony to feed, thanks to local ranch families. Each participant received a cowboy hat, a bandanna, a sheriff's badge and a roping glove.
There were more murals and roping steers than last year, said Bezona, but fewer participants, because La Junta Intermediate didn't come this year. The Bent's Fort mural was borrowed from Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site, and a couple of the murals were done by inmates at the Ordway prison. "We just send them sheets and they paint the murals," said Bezona.
The roping steer dummies were colorful this year: the Carrolls brought one orange and one pink, Angie Hoss supplied the gray, and a little roping dummy was sent by Gail Allen. The stick horses for riding the barrels were supplied by the Arkansas Valley Fair at Rocky Ford.

Giant Otter
The surface of the Tres Chimbadas oxbow lake typically looks like the top of a mirrored glass table. Calm, serene, and darkened by tannins, this and other oxbow lakes in the Tambopata Region are aquatic treasures. They provide important habitat for a wide variety of fish species, several types of waterbirds, Anacondas, big Black Caimans, and many other Amazonian animals. Odd-looking Hoatzins hang out in the bushes at the edge of oxbow lakes while toucans and the occasional Plum-throated Cotinga perch in the surrounding treetops.
One of the rarest creatures that live in oxbow lakes also makes its home at Tres Chimbadas. This animal is the Giant Otter (Pteronura brasiliensis). Those who get the opportunity to observe this endangered aquatic Mustelid are very fortunate indeed as Tambopata is among the few accessible places on Earth where this fantastic, rare mammal can be seen with ease. A high percentage of excursions to oxbow lakes near the lodges run by Rainforest Expeditions are successful in viewing Giant Otters. One of the reasons why so many guests see them is due to the efforts made by guides to avoid disturbing these shy, beautiful animals.
Some interesting facts about Giant Otters:

Pallet Survey: The pulse on pallets
We suspect that non-wooden pallets are being used in niche applications, such as captive pallets in a manufacturing operation, to ship back and forth to regular suppliers or customers or as a result of a customer requirement.
The 48 x 40-inch pallet is the most commonly used size, cited by 81% of readers. No surprise there either. What did catch our attention was that nearly 10% of respondents say they are shipping on a 24 x 20-inch half pallet. That is a relatively new size developed for the beverage industry, but it may also have applications for end-of-aisle displays.
Our readers' pallets are circling the globe: nearly 57% of readers say they are shipping to both domestic and international customers; 39% of readers are only shipping domestically; and 4% are only shipping internationally.
The leading recipient is Canada (74%), followed by Mexico/South America/Caribbean (66%), China/Asia (57%), Western Europe (48%) and Eastern Europe (36%).
International business does require a different pallet strategy for most shippers, with only 21% reporting that they don't do anything differently for international and domestic deliveries. Readers reported that 48% treat their pallets; 20% use alternative materials other than wood that don't require treatment; 16% use wood pallets from their own pool; and 3% use a pallet pool for international shipments.
Watch the number of treated pallets in the future, especially if Canada and the United States finally agree on a proposal to treat pallets traveling between the countries in the future. That will lead to more readers treating their pallets or shipping on alternative materials.

Driving down 400 West the other day, we spotted this in a parking lot.
The original food truck. We pulled over and I took a snap, humming to myself,
"Oh I wish I was an Oscar Meyer wiener.
That is what I truly want to be-ee-ee.
Cuz if I was an Oscar Meyer wiener,
Everyone would be in love with me."
I am not afraid to be dated. The other guy who had pulled over to take a picture claimed he only knew the tune, not all the words.
Funny, we were on our way to check out Carl Rubadue's Saucey Skillet food truck, parked up at the U.
This is a pretty new truck on the mobile food scene; Carl doesn't even have the trailer decorated yet. When it's fully tricked out, there will be a big crab cake on the back.
And that's what I was there for. I'd had Carl's crab cakes at the kickoff party for last spring's Tastemakers event and the taste lingered in my memory: crisp-fried, with fresh pink grapefruit sections on top, in a Thai-style ginger dressing.
For the truck, Carl uses Alaskan king crab and the cake comes on a lettuce-filled paper boat.
He's got other stuff on the menu:
We tried a chicken sandwich on ciabbatta with cilantro pesto and it was great.
Last week, we tracked down the Lewis Bros truck, which everyone but me has already tried. There was a short line in front of us and an impromptu picnic on the grassy strip near NoBrow Coffee.
Small Lake City moment: one of the brothers, Oliver, plays on my daughter's kickball team.
Anyway, their street food-style falafel is the best I've had in SLC. And the slow-cooked brisket with chili oil was a double-rich delight, the hot oil an extra glide of flavor on the already rich meat.
You have to wait for the weekend for Saturday's Waffle, a truck set up in a refurbished Shasta trailer.
The menu is all-waffle: bananas Foster, caprese, lemon curd and raspberry, over Liege-style waffles, made with real Belgian pearl sugar in the dough. They're served in style by a pair of bow-tied entrepreneurs in the parking lot of Dan's on Foothill.
The bananas Foster comes double-wide; there was a bush-full of raspberries on the lemon curd. My only quibble was the amount of topping. They almost drowned the waffle, so you missed the sweet yeasty taste.
Still, more and more, the best food deals in town are off the trucks. Can we please adjust the regulations so it's easier for these small business owners to make it?
P.S. In case it's not obvious, I didn't take the pics of Saturday's Waffle. They were taken by the more-talented-than-me Heidi Larsen.

Election administration in New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial elections
Submitted by gbain on Fri, 01/15/2010 - 11:52
Conducting the fourth in a series of surveys to gauge the experience of voters at the polls, a team of researchers associated with the Caltech/MIT Voting Technology Project studied the experience of 2,500 registered voters each in New Jersey and Virginia immediately following the November 3, 2009 gubernatorial elections.
The November 2009 study was a part of the Survey of the Performance of American Elections series that has been funded by the Pew Center on the States' Election Initiative. Previous surveys were conducted immediately following the November 2007 gubernatorial elections in Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi; the February 2008 ―Super Tuesday‖ presidential primary; and the November 2008 presidential election.

A crew member gives shade to a driver prior to attempting a record run on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
What do you do with 30,000 acres of land so flat and barren you can see the actual curvature of the earth? Simple. Do away with the speed limit.
That's what's been done at the Bonneville Salt Flats, one of the most recognized speedways in the world and the site of hundreds of world land-speed records, not to mention Hollywood blockbusters and commercials. Standing on the edge of the speedway is an awesome experience. Those who have driven on the salt say it easily leads to a conditions they call "Salt Fever,'' which beckons them back year after year.Want to catch the fever yourself? The next racing event on the speedway, the Southern California Timing Association's World Finals, is slated to kick off today and run though Oct. 8, weather permitting. With the good salt and cooler temperatures, optimistic drivers are predicting speeds approaching 500 mph. Though that ambitious goal may be a few years off, 450 mph is certainly within reach.
Even garbage collection on the salt has a certain racing flair.John Nearburg of Dallas, in his streamliner, Spirit of Rett, put down eight solid runs over 400 mph to post an official two-way average record of 414.316 mph last fall. That record broke a 65-year-old land-speed record for the fastest naturally aspirated wheel-driven car. To date, four engine-powered cars have driven over the 400 mark in previous meets.
Back in August, more than 550 cars, trucks and motorcycles—brought in from all over the world, with drivers and crews—ran for records during the annual Speed Week. More than 200 records fell in various classes, and seven cars set records well over 300 mph.
It's no wonder why speedway events have become increasingly popular in recent years. Estimated spectators counts this year were between 10,000 and 15,000. More attention was brought to the flats last month with the release of the Boys of Bonneville, a John Price-produced movie on racing legend Ab Jenkins and his son Marv.
The starting line is a busy place on race day.THE SON OF SALT Ab Jenkins would set more world speed records than any man in history. He set 24-hour endurance/speed records on Bonneville a dozen times, driving the entire race by himself. But the record for which he was most recognized was set during his tenure as Salt Lake City mayor in 1940. (So popular was Jenkins that he won the mayorship without spending a single penny on a campaign.) He drove 3,868.1 miles in 24-hours in his Mormon Meteor III for an average speed of 161.18. It would be 50 years before that record would fall.
In 1990, Chevrolet sent a team of drivers and two ZR-1 Corvettes to the flats to break Jenkins' record. Cars and drivers were periodically switched, whereas Jenkins drove the full 24 hours and did it in one car. The new record was 175.885. Even then the two vets were not able to hit Jenkins' top speed of 196 mph.
Marv Jenkins restored his dad's car, Mormon Meteor III, drove it and eventually sold it to Price for his museum. Car and Driver Magazine once listed Mormon Meteor III as the 4th most valuable car in the world. So famous is the car Jay Leno made a special trip to meet Marv Jenkins and see the car. He also made a cameo in the film to talk about the legendary vehicle. (Ab Jenkins had sold the car to the State of Utah for $1. Under the state's care it was vandalized and seriously damaged. Marv Jenkins took the car back and spent more than 4,000 hours in restoration work.
HOW TO GO Take exit 4 off I-80, approximately 10 miles east of Wendover. Turn north off freeway and follow access road approximately 4 miles to end of pavement and beginning of salt flats. Salt flats are about 120 miles west of Salt Lake City.
Admission to the World Finals, which runs Oct. 5-8, is $15 a day or $40 for the entire event. Between 110 and 130 cars and cycles are expected to hit the flats during the races. Visit the Price Museum of Speed for more information.
Visitors may drive on the salt flats but do so at their own risk. It is advisable not to drive on the salt flats when covered with standing water. Water is corrosive and creates soft spots on surface.
Vehicles entered in record competition range from high-powered streamliners to a high-performance VW.FLAT FACTS - The huge bed of salt is, in fact, remnants of the ancient Lake Bonneville.
