Yuppies and Vegetables
It's apparently somewhat a la mode in blogging circles to snicker and make fun of people who like food and buy organic fruits and vegetables from farmer's markets. As a person who does this, I take these criticisms in stride, realizing that spending half your day traveling to 3, sometimes 4, different places to buy your food probably isn't high on most people's lists, but this Adam Ozimek post about frozen vegetables is absolutely absurd:
Are future blue collar workers really going to take the time to grow themselves vegetable gardens in window boxes outside their apartments? A lot of working people, like Megan McArdle and Matt Yglesias, frequently don't have time for fresh vegetables. Like Matt, many people have to teach themselves late in life how to make quick delicious snacks out of frozen vegetables. This would be a much more valuable lesson for poor kids then how to select the freshest kale at your local organic farmers market, or even more ridiculously, how to grow your own …
If you can get kids to eat and prefer frozen vegetables then you've got a sustainable improvement in diet and nutrition. If you get them to like fresh organic vegetables they've grown in the garden or bought at the farmers market, then you've temporarily instilled in them the tastes of upper middle class people with enough time and money on their hands for such luxuries.
The first thing I'll point out is how incredibly ironic it is that this person (and others) think that vegetables (!) are a luxury item that only upper middle class yuppies can afford. This would be news to our ancestors, who survived almost entirely on grains and vegetables, with meat being served on special occasions. This would also be news to most Chinese people, seeing as the majority of their diet is fresh vegetables. We all know that China is the upper-middle class yuppie capitol of Earth.
Furthermore, the condescension towards "blue collar" workers is outrageous. As if these "workers" simply can't be bothered to go shopping at grocery stores. Or that they simply don't have the time to actually feed themselves. Or that it's just ridiculous that they could even think of having a *gasp* garden! I mean, two urban, young bloggers who work 70 hours a week don't have time for fresh vegetables, so that means all "workers" can't possibly have the time.
As for kids and vegetables, I have a long-held theory that most kids don't like vegetables because they are prepared very poorly. Ever had frozen spinach? Kinda sucks. Same goes for frozen green beans. But fresh sauteed spinach with garlic? That's good. Roasted green beans tossed with butter and thyme? Delicious.
Both of these things take 15 minutes or less, and taste significantly better than their frozen counterparts. So here's my counter thesis to Adam Ozimek's idiotic thought: If you get kids to eat frozen vegetables, they may end up thinking that all vegetables taste like garbage and eliminate them from their diet permanently. If you get them to like fresh vegetables prepared simply, they'll end up loving vegetables as much as a McDonald's double cheeseburger.
On a much broader note, I do think that the Slow Food movement has some serious image problems. This class-based fight seems to come up often, whether in the form of frozen vegetables, organic vegetable nutritional content, or shopping at Whole Foods. To me the whole point of the movement is not these specific pieces, but a more holistic approach to food and feeding yourself. It's about taking back ownership of your diet and proving that you can make wholesome food that tastes great, and is good for your health and the environment at the same time. Somewhere along the way this got lost (or misinterpreted).

This story fits in perfectly with my post yesterday Inflation Hits Coffee as Brewers Secretly Swap Robusta for Arabica, in the sense that as the cost of real food and quality items soars, the tendency will be to simply replace real goods with fake goods. It's one thing to buy a fake handbag, it's quite another to discover your meat has been dyed pink to look like something it's not. "American as apple pie" is soon to be replaced with "American as biotech salmon." From UPI:
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 5 (UPI) — About 95.5 tons of pork cuts dyed to look like beef have been imported to Sweden, and about 70 ton of it have already been sold, official say.
The fake beef was imported into Sweden for two years and sold at grocery stores nationwide, The Local.se reported.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Imapayne Perfect We recently redid our backyard and plan on "living" out there more often. I ordered the caddy so we'd be able to easily grab utensils, napkins and seasons to take out rather than carrying stuff out individually. This caddy is a great size. It can hold a lot of utensils, or you can use the utensil section for condiment bottles. The large section allows us to put napkins along with our salt & pepper dispenser in the caddy. This has been great so far. The handles seem sturdy to this point and the caddy appears to comfortably hold weight. April 11, 2013

Open Women Place 6th In NCAAs; V8 Wins Petite, 2V8 Takes Silver Medal
The final day of the 2014 open women racing season was less a tale about speed, and more a tale about resolve and character.
Though there was plenty of speed to be mentioned as well.
Princeton finished sixth as a team at the 2014 NCAA Championships, which completed Sunday at Eagle Creek Park. Top-seeded Ohio State captured both the varsity eight and team national championship, while Brown finished second in the varsity eight final and California finished second in the team final.
A half second on Saturday could have made the difference between seventh and a potentially much higher finish for Princeton, which missed out on the grand final by .23 of a second. The Tigers roared back to win their petite final, but the number of team points they could score in that event was limited.
Regardless of the result, though, there was plenty for the coaching staff to feel good about.
"I'm proud and pleased, and I do think they made good progress this year," head coach Lori Dauphiny said. "There were some disappointments, and some kids leave here feeling like they need to do more, and that's good. But my staff and I were pleased with the development."
The resolve was what pleased Dauphiny most on Sunday. The varsity eight needed to bounce back from a crushing result Saturday, and it did so with an impressive win over No. 4 Virginia in the petite final. The 2V had to come back from a disappointing result at the Ivy Championships, and it did so with a silver medal, the boat's best finish at NCAAs since 1997. The varsity four featured a brand new lineup for the final weekend of the year, and it posted an admirable final race in its petite final.
It was the kind of stuff that can make a coach feel great pride. The varsity eight, which has won three of the last four Ivy League championships and was a half second away from winning its semifinal, topped the Cavaliers by more than four seconds to win the petite final.
"Their race showed a lot of heart and integrity," Dauphiny said. "That [semifinal] was heartbreaking. To come back after that in the petite final and show their speed and integrity is outstanding to me."
The second varsity went undefeated during the regular season, but then it saw Brown take home an Ivy League title. The Tigers went back to work over the last two weeks, and the results paid off in the NCAA final. Princeton went out extremely fast in the first 500 meters and held a lead at the midway point.
Ohio State, which showed its impressive depth throughout the weekend, passed the Tigers during the third split, but Princeton fought off Virginia for the silver medal by less than .7 of a second. It was Princeton's best 2V finish since 1997, when the Tigers won their only gold medal in that particular event.
"I am really happy for the 2V," Dauphiny said. "It was redemption for them after Ivies. They fought hard and earned that with a really gutsy race."
"Given the conditions it wasn't our cleanest race, but it was by far the grittiest race of our season," junior Liza McBride said. "Our semifinals race was a turning point for our boat. We really clicked together and pushed our limits to a whole new level. Our boat has had such a strong season and we felt that Ivies didn't capture that. It felt great to end our season racing at our full potential."
The fours may have had the most significant growth of any Princeton boat this season, and it added a rower that dealt with injuries all season just before NCAAs. The fours fought through a repechage just to make the semifinals, and it finished fifth in Sunday's petite final in 8:07.05.
"The four really put in a courageous fight," Dauphiny said. "That's a difficult task getting a new rower, but they did a good job managing it and working hard."
Princeton finished the Championships with 102 points, one more than both Washington and Michigan. Ohio State won the event with 126 points, while California (118) held off Brown (116) for the team silver medal.
"This was a great championship event and a terrific showcase for the sport," Dauphiny said. "I really have to give Brown a lot of credit. They raced really well throughout the whole weekend, and I congratulate them on their terrific finish."

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: expats in Trinidad; comic, homey memoir; stories placed in Jamaica; domestic English satire; chilling early mystery by Gillian Flynn; and a charming British mystery;
The White Woman on the Green Bicycle by Monique Roffey
In Trinidad, Sabine from France is not doing well. Of late middle age, she's discontent and her English husband George is more and more absent. At 75 he's a freelance journalist and still a cocksman. When they first arrived on "temporary assignment" she used to pedal around town, a shocking sight. Now her children are grown, and her grandchildren mixed-race--they can move from King's English to patois in a heartbeat. She feels trapped and hopeless but is galvanized politically at the end. In the course of the story, we learn lots about the sorry politics of the island. Very arresting.
Apron Anxiety by Alyssa Shelasky
Subtitled My Messy Affairs in and out of the Kitchen. With recipes, too. I exactly didn't love her but am sharing this book because it's in the "diversion" category, and Lord knows we can all periodically use some. A charmed life you'd think--glamorous jobs in journalism but still single at 30. Along comes a charming, handsome celebrity chef and she moves to DC to be with him where she finds herself bored and at sea. He's up to his ears starting a restaurant. So out of desperation she learns to cook. Eventually the center will not hold and she's back in NYC, doing just fine again, but with this new skill as well. So a kind of fairy tale that doesn't turn out neatly but entertaining enough to give it a whirl.
By Love Possessed by Lorna Goodison
Short stories, mostly set in Jamaica. Lively, charming, full of ripe characterizations and local vernacular. Lots of bad deals: folks unlucky in love, in work (or lack of it), orphaned, and betrayed, but buoyancy and wit leaven the hard times. The last story, a first person chronicle of a singer worthy of Piaf in terms of poignancy, is a particularly uplifting tale. It's titled "I Come Through," and that phrase applies to the tenor of the writing and the subjects. Highly recommended.
Denting the Bosch by Teresa Link
When Adele learns that her husband Drew has no intention of leaving San Diego as promised, she explodes and hurls a mug at their expensive Bosch dishwasher. That explains the mysterious title. At first the three couples featured seem pretty solid in their prosperous middle age but soon each relationship unravels—midlife crises gone viral. The husbands are philanderers, the wives are frustrated, and their bastions of apparent affection and habit prove flimsy. (Hence three sections: Straw, Sticks, and Bricks. But the last serve as more as missiles than shelter, metaphorically). The wives take a crazy trip to British Columbia where even more goes wrong. And when they return they discover their financial security is eroded—oh those Ponzi schemes. Wicked satire and rueful revelations.
Dark Places by Gillian Flynn
The Day family is greatly reduced after the mother and two sisters are slaughtered and the son is in jail for that act, in part through the testimony of 7 year old Lily who fled when it took place. Lily's life two decades later is constrained and haunted. She needs money, though, and an odd club that explores lurid crimes pays for her presence and memorabilia. Many believe her brother was wrongly accused, and she ends up pursuing new evidence. Dark places indeed, and very little redemption for the remaining members of this benighted family. Incredible suspense and fascinating characterizations—no glamour or tidy endings here, which is refreshing if chilling.
The Corpse on the Court by Simon Brett
I got to know this British mystery writer through his Charles Paris detective series which focuses on theater with lots of inside lore and wit. This is the latest in his Fethering mysteries, which feature amateur detectives Jude and her friend and neighbor Carole. The latter is dry and self-contained (except for her beloved dog); the former emotional and eccentric. The setting: small-town Sussex. The court refers to "real tennis," an archaic sport, which Jude's new lover Piers plays. The ladies do their sleuthing after a few bodies appear. It's Agatha Christie-like with a contemporary twist, and lots of fun to read.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Promega opened a new facility in Shanghai for its China operations. The new site replaces an existing molecular biology reagent production site. It also provides additional research, development, and cGMP manufacturing capabilities for molecular diagnostics products for the Chinese market.
The new facility is called Shanghai Promega Life Science Center. The building was purchased in June and has since been equipped for the manufacture of molecular biology and molecular diagnostic reagents.
"China is an integral part of Promega's manufacturing and business operations," says Promega CEO Bill Linton. "In 1985, Promega and two Chinese partners established Sino-American Biotechnology Corporation (SABC), the first China-U.S. biotech joint venture in China. This recent investment in the new Shanghai cGMP manufacturing facility represents Promega's continued commitment to life science in China." Among its 15 global branches, Promega also has a sales and marketing branch in Beijing.
Including this new facility, Promega has five manufacturing sites worldwide. Together these facilities manufacture biological and chemical reagents and instruments used in both life science research and molecular diagnostics.

Sweet Salvation
Echelon, The Salvation Army's national young adult auxiliary, celebrated the work of the charitable organization with its first-ever weekend-long event. Kicking off the weekend, chairs Ashley Hunt, Carla Miller and Molly Thomas hosted a luncheon at The Joule Hotel, presented by Neiman Marcus. Guests enjoyed a pop-up shop by the guest of honor, designer Kelly Wearstler, followed by a conversation with the tastemaker led by lifestyle expert and glowing mommy Kimberly Schlegel Whitman, and a seated luncheon. Much time was spent admiring the designer's signature golden skulls and starbursts that adorned the tabletops. Rounding out the affair was an evening of dinner and dancing hosted by gala chairs Molly and Justin Cox, Lisa and Wayne Moore, and Amy and Corey Prestidge. The Dallas Country Club was the perfect setting for a warm summer dinner under the stars, but the real treat came later, when the DJ started spinning and all took to the dance floor.

Useful if you have a list of images called 1 2 3 4 and so on, you can adapt it to rewrite it as 4 (in this example) 0-padded number.
When you have different digital cameras, different people, friends and you want to merge all those pictures together, then you get files with same names or files with 3 and 4 digit numbers etc. The result is a mess if you copy it together into one directory.
But if you can add an offset to the picture number and set the number of leading zeros in the file name's number then you can manage.
OFFS != 0 and LZ the same as the files currently have is not supported. Or left as an exercise, hoho ;)

17 charged in 3-year fraud ring tied to Volusia
Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 8:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 8:58 a.m.
Seventeen persons are accused of running a statewide fraud scheme which netted the suspects profits in excess of $500,000, investigators with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement working with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday.
The 17 individuals were charged with with organized scheme to defraud, conspiracy to commit organized scheme to defraud, criminal use of personal identification information, conspiracy to commit criminal use of personal identification information, and criminal use of fictitious or personal identification information, an FDLE news release said.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement Orlando Regional Operations Center charged the suspects after a two-year-long investigation of the statewide organized fraud, the release said.
The investigation began in late 2010 in partnership with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office. The ring involved an organized group of individuals who commonly used counterfeit checks to buy merchandise from large retail stores throughout Florida. The counterfeit checks displayed fraudulent information and/or stolen account numbers, FDLE and Volusia sheriff's investigators said.
Investigators said fraud suspects used the counterfeit checks along with phony driver's licenses and identification cards to purchase store merchandise. The merchandise would be kept for a short period of time, only to be returned later for cash or gift cards.
In some incidents, members of the group used the counterfeit checks to directly purchase store gift cards then used to buy Visa or American Express gift cards at a sister store. The money cards could be used almost anywhere, investigators said.
Charged in fraud ring are:
D'Angelo Keith Jones, 28, of Orlando
James Edward Cook Jr., 33, of Orlando
Timothy Duval, 23, of Orlando
Christopher Michael Jones, 34, of Orlando
Claudine Antoinette Smith-Jones, 33, of Orlando
Brandon Sanchez Brinson, 24, of Pompano Beach
Roger Sermon Jr., 31, of Altamonte Springs
Gregory Wayne Lowe Jr., 26, of Sanford
Henry Evett Allen, 37, of Orlando
Courtney Boston Scott, 23, of Orlando
Ralph Williams III, 34, of Bradenton
Annette Luvern Siplin, 50, of Sanford
Paul Boyd Jr., 50, of Altamonte Springs
Montrez D. Maye, 33, of Orlando
Edger M. Jenning-Boswell, 30, Ocala
Cenenia Bryant, 30, of Orlando
Chelsy L. Beals, 22, of Edmond, Okla.
A bail of $45,000 has been set for each person charged, the FDLE news release said.

GENERIC NAME: terbutaline
BRAND NAME: Brethine, Bricanyl, Brethaire are no longer available in the U.S.
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Terbutaline is a member of a class of drugs called beta adrenergic receptor agonists (stimulators) that is used for treating asthma and other diseases of the airways. Other drugs in the same class of drugs include albuterol (Proventil), metaproterenol (Alupent), pirbuterol (Maxair), and salmeterol (Serevent). Asthma is a breathing problem caused by narrowing of air passages (bronchial tubes) through which air moves in and out of the lungs. These airways can be narrowed due to the accumulation of mucus, spasm of the muscles that surround them (bronchospasm), or swelling of their linings due to the accumulation of fluid. Airway narrowing leads to shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough. Terbutaline is a bronchodilator, a medication that dilates (expands) air passages in the lungs. It attaches to beta adrenergic receptors on muscles surrounding the air passages, causing the muscles to relax and dilate the air passages. Wider air passages allow more air to flow in and out of the lungs. Increased airflow reduces shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough. Terbutaline also is used for delaying premature labor by relaxing the muscles of the uterus that are responsible for expelling the fetus at the time of delivery. The FDA approved terbutaline in 1974.

As I read on, I was surprised by how deeply Dad had internalized the suffering of the Haitian farmers. As the drought worsened and his friends along the mountain paths grew weak from AIDS and tuberculosis, with no crops to sell to pay for their medical care, Dad gave out more and more loans—with no hope of repayment. One afternoon, when he learned that a six-month-old baby was about to die of AIDS, he hid in the thin shade of a guava bush and stared out over the denuded hills. Solitary mango trees stood over the clearings as smoldering charcoal fires drifted into lazy plumes. He could see all the way down the flood-scarred valley to the faint blue edge of the sea. He put his head in his hands and sobbed.
For the first time, I saw Haiti through Dad's eyes. I no longer saw the country as my competition—only regretted that I had tried so hard to thwart his attempts to help. A man of few words, terrified by strong emotions, he didn't know then how to vocalize his despair. I knew him only by his anger and his high expectations. I didn't understand, as my mother later explained to me, that when the topsoil in Haiti washes away, part of my father goes with it.
In 2003, I returned to Haiti with Dad, along with my mother and my husband. We hiked to the villages where Dad used to pass out tree seeds along with Bible verses translated into Kreyòl. Everyone along the path knew his name and came out to greet him with big grins and firm handshakes. A few farmers took us to see tree-covered ridges that had been reforested as a result of Dad's persistent prodding. Far more hillsides were still barren and despoiled, but it was a beginning. It wasn't the rapid, recognizable result that Dad had once hoped for, but it was incremental change—the kind that lasts.
My husband, who had never been to Haiti, had heard me confess how much I hated living there as a teenager, but he surprised me by noting how often I smiled in Haiti—far more often than when we were at home together in Oregon. Mom just laughed: "She's like her father. She feels at home here."
Over the past 10 years, I have returned to Haiti several times. Each time I leave, I feel a sense of loss. Lush, verdant Oregon seems empty and quiet by comparison. Even after the earthquake, which I covered for Public Radio International's This American Life, I came home with a renewed sense of admiration for the Haitian people—their resilience, courage and ability to laugh in the face of overwhelming odds.
On my most recent visit, I explored the country without Dad, for the first time in 30 years. My Kreyòl is nowhere near as fluent as his, but as I fumbled my way through boat trips and motorcycle rides, ate smoky kasavand savored the sweet-sour tang of abricotfruit, I realized how much I had inherited. It was Dad who had taught me to care about the earth and to value the stories of those who tended the soil. And while I would never have believed it as a teenager, I was finally converted to the gospel of trees.
In Gonaïves, an arid region just over the mountains from where I had grown up, I hiked for hours in the humid glare of the sun, past schoolchildren in matching uniforms, past old women with bundles of firewood balanced on their heads, to see a new soil--conservation site that Dad had insisted be planted with trees. The drought- and animal--resistant seedshad been sown by peasant farmers less than a year earlier, but already the glossy, dark-green leaves were as high as my waist. Those trees, like the Haitianpeople, had defied the odds. In a land of mountains beyond mountains, in a country both devastated and proud, maddening and beautiful, squalid and unimaginably heroic, the trees were survivors. The branches trembled delicately as a wind blew down the mountains and stirred the dry soil.

Wrestling Heads To World's Most Famous Arena For 2013 Grapple At The Garden
GRAPPLE AT THE GARDEN l PRINCETON WRESTLING TWITTER
The Princeton wrestling team will open its 2013-14 dual meet season in grand style Sunday, competing against EIWA rivals Drexel and Army during the second annual Grapple at the Garden, held at Madison Square Garden.
Princeton will be one of 16 collegiate programs to meet at The World's Most Famous Arena in New York City. There will be eight mats on the floor and two sessions of dual matches (10 am, 12 pm).
"To be included in such a fabulous event in such a historic athletic venue is an exciting opportunity for our program and athletes," head coach Chris Ayres said. "We look forward to competing against and alongside some of the best programs in the country as we showcase the greatest sport in the world in the greatest city in the world."
The Tigers (0-0) will open the day on Mat 4 against Drexel (1-6), one of four new entries into the EIWA this season. The Dragons, coming off an 0-4 weekend at the Eastern Michigan Open, went 8-12 last season, though they return NCAA qualifier Brandon Palik.
The second session is scheduled to begin at noon, and Princeton will meet longtime EIWA rival Army in that matchup. The Black Knights are 2-0 this season, including a win over league rival Franklin & Marshall, and they return two NCAA qualifiers in Paul Hancock and Bryce Barnes.
Princeton has competed in three invitationals this season, including a highly impressive third-place finish at Navy last weekend. The Tigers placed six wrestlers, including a trio of finalists (Garrett Frey, #18 Adam Krop and Abe Ayala), and they came within five points of 2013 EIWA runner-up Navy for second place.
Last weekend marked the season debut for both Garrett Frey and Chris Perez, both of whom missed all of last season with injuries. Ayres is hoping to see another season debut Sunday; sophomore Scott Gibbons, Princeton's wins leader and a 2013 EIWA placewinner last season, could return from a preseason injury for the pair of matches.

Dolphins moments over the last 15 years:
10. Parcells not talking to the media while he ran this football team
9. Trading too much to get Ricky Williams, then Ricky quitting on
Dave, then coming back for Nick.
8. The 62-7 loss to the Jags in the playoffs
7. "We got a shot. We got a chance to be something special."-- Jimmy
6. Cam's infamous quotes: "I want them to fail forward, fast" and
"We drafted the Ginn family"
5. Wanny getting flustered at a press conference and saying "What do
you want me to do?"
4. Dan Marinos 2ish weeks as the VP of football operations
3. The interplay between Jimmy and Danny. Jimmy took away audibles,
and wanted to trade Danny; but Danny was getting special treatment,
like flying on Wayne's private jet to away games.
2. Anything Nick did in his two years (whether it was berating
someone, telling people what they wanted to hear, or trying to throw a
challenge flag), but for its sheer audacity "I'm not going to Alabama"
-- and then informing his staff he was already gone, by text message.
1. The sham that was last January. Ross openly courted Jim Harbaugh
while Sparano was still employed
Short. Sweet. To the point. That's the beauty Dave's iPhone.

Price: $14.99
April 15, 2012, marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Robert Ballard discovered the wreck in 1985, and the Society is marking the anniversary with a commemorative map and a host of special events. National Geographic's Titanic 100th Anniversary mapa two-sided infographictells the story of the Titanic from a geographic perspective. Using diagrams, photographs, and information on the ship, its passengers, and its history, the map details the ship's fateful route of 1912 and the shipping lanes before and after the disaster; the journey of the fateful iceberg; charts and statistics from the official hearings; an inset locating ice and rescue ships; deep-ocean diagrams of the search process; and Titanic-related points of interest. The ship diagram side of the map features color-coded deck plans; a cutaway view and escape routes; portraits of noted passengers and crew lost and saved; Titanic's size compared to the world's largest objects; and the debate over her future. Each map is printed in the U.S. on high-quality 80# paper, printed with environmentally-friendly low VOC inks.

Lamination is in the cards for this!
By Midniteinmke
from Milwaukee, WI
Comments about Titanic 100th Anniversary Map:
Packed with facts and in some cases, trivia, this poster covers all the bases. You'd almost want to get this laminated, because of its 2-sidedness. The reason being, it's so useable, you could ruin it, flipping back and forth from one side to the other. I love the side with the diagram of the decks and color code of the cabins versus their inhabitants.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

ZF-3339: DtDdWrapper is not xhtml valid for radio buttons
The empty definition term which is placed using Zend_Form when radio buttons are being generated is not XHTML valid. Therefore I suggest that, if the doctype is set to XHTML, the wrapper either doesn't place the empty definition term, or places a nonbraking space inside it . This has been fixed if no label is set (http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-2989) but appearantly radio buttons use different 'label generation' by default. I think this is also the case with checkboxes.
Can you post a small reproduce case to clearly show this behavior, please?
$radio = new Zend_Form_Element_Radio('radio'); $radio->addMultiOptions(array('radio_1'=>'Radio 1', 'radio_2'=>'Radio 2', 'radio_3'=>'Radio 3')); $form->addElements(array($radio));
without any decorators etc. the above php code will output the following html (I also don't understand why the style="white-space: nowrap;" is being generated by default, but that's another issue perhaps):Radio 1Radio 2Radio 3
instead, it should output because an empty isn't xhtml valid.
Confirmed; scheduling for next mini release.
Actually, funny thing about this one is that it's actually an issue with the Label decorator; if a tag is provided as an option, but no label, it simply spits out the tag with no content. I'm updating to have it provide a no-break space for content.
Fixed in trunk and 1.5 and 1.6 release branches.
The situation described is not invalid XHTML, and the non-breaking space should be removed.
Robin, the markup did not validate, plain and simple. After the changes, it does. Re-closing.
Closing as duplicate of Parent Issue.

Pots of Gold Brie with Salad
6 medium vine-ripened tomatoes, diced and briefly drained
Small handful of fresh basil leaves, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon Juice
Extra-virgin olive oil
4 cups salad leaves (arugula, watercress, red lettuce, sorrel, ext.) washed and dryed
White wine vinegar
1 Baguette (French Bread), pide (flat Turkish bread) or ciabatta loaf (slipper-shaped sourdough loaf)
2 large cloves garlic, peeled
Small camembert or brie cheeses (1 per person), at room temperature
Make a simple tomato salad with diced tomatoes, chopped basil and a little salt, black pepper, a few squirts of lemon juice and a good sousing of olive oil.
Dress salad leaves with a splash of vinegar, salt, black pepper and a little olive oil.
Slice the baguette, pide or ciabatta and toast pieces over a barbecue grill rack. As they are done rub them, one at a time, with a whole garlic clove. Season with a little sea salt, then stack them one on top of the other.
When both salads and bread are ready, cook cheeses. Place them on an oiled grill rack over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes or until lightly colored, then turn them over carefully and cook on the other side for a few minutes until cheeses feel soft and runny when gently squeezed around the waist. Carefully transfer cheeses to individual serving plates. To eat, make a shallow cut on top of cheese and party peel back skin. Dunk bread in melted cheese and go for it! Serve the salads on the side.

Just when demand from health-conscious consumers means fresh fish is widely available—even in the landlocked Midwest—buying the right kind seems to require an advanced degree in endangered species. Fish shopping, in short, is not for sissies, and it's fraught for anyone with an environmental conscience.
The warming of the oceans has contributed to the collapse of species of fish at the bottom of the food chain, while overfishing has helped deplete species at the top. And there have been many bumps in the road for fish farming (aquaculture) as it struggles to produce fish that people actually want to eat. Add concerns about the levels of toxins in the water, and the seafood counter has been turned into a minefield. Is cod back? Well, maybe not. Is halibut plentiful? Yes and no. Is there any tuna that won't make me feel guilty? Yes, but it's probably not the one that's sold in your supermarket. The frequently updated ratings of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch program help us keep up; see the MBA's Best Choice recommendations in the recipes that follow.
My advice on what to choose: -mollusks (clams, oysters, mussels, scallops), which have been cultivated since Roman times; farmed tilapia—it doesn't taste like much, but the flavor is better than it used to be—and catfish. Fish farming has made great progress in recent years and is arguably sustainable by most measures. Stick with fish farmed in the United States.
Wild salmon is a good bet. Lobster stocks seem stable. Squid are fast growing and reproduce early and often, so they're better able than other species to withstand heavy fishing. (These could, of course, be famous last words.) Wild-caught pink shrimp (cocktail shrimp) are also fast growers, and most crabs, including the prized Dungeness, are solid choices.
All of these easy recipes use minimal ingredients to accentuate the natural tastes and textures of the fish, and they can be prepared in good conscience.
Scallops With Pastis
Fishing method: farmed. Scallop farms, which operate in the ocean, have a low impact on marine resources, because they rarely use fertilizers, antibiotics or other chemicals that have the potential to spread into surrounding waters.
MBA rating: Best Choice
Prep time: 22 minutes
Cooking time: 18 minutes
Serves 4
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1½ pounds sea or bay scallops, membrane removed and patted dry
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped capers
- 2 tablespoons pastis or ouzo
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and the skillet is hot, add the scallops, a few at a time if they're big. Turn them as they brown, allowing about 2 minutes per side (less for scallops under an inch across, somewhat more for those well over an inch). Sprinkle them with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper as they cook; transfer them to a bowl as they finish.
2. Add the tomatoes and capers to the skillet; sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper. Cook over medium heat until the tomatoes break down, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the pastis, and keep cooking the mixture until the alcohol has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Taste, and adjust the seasoning.
3. Return the scallops to the skillet, along with the parsley. Stir to coat withthe sauce, and heat through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
Spanish-Style Pink Shrimp
Fishing method: wild caught. Pink shrimp are generally sold as cocktail shrimp, or Ebi at sushi counters.
MBA rating: Best Choice
Prep time: 28 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serves 4
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed
- 3 or 4 large cloves garlic, cut into slivers
- About 1½ pounds shrimp, 20 to 30 per pound, peeled, rinsed and patted dry
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1½ teaspoons hot paprika
- Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
Warm the oil in a large skillet over low heat; there should be enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic, and cook until it turns golden, a few minutes. Raise the heat to medium high, and add the shrimp, about ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, the cumin and paprika. Stir to blend, and continue to cook, shaking the pan once or twice and turning the shrimp once or twice, until they are pink all over and the mixture is bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Slow-Grilled Sardines
Fishing method: wild caught. Avoid Atlantic sardines.
MBA rating: Best Choice
Prep time: 17 minutes
Cooking time: 13 minutes (in broiler)
Serves 4
- 12 to 24 large sardines, gutted, with heads on (about 2 pounds)
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil for brushing
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
- 2 lemons, quartered
1. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill until moderately hot, or heat a broiler until quite hot. Place the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. If you are using the broiler, put a sturdy ovenproof pan or skillet on the rack, and heat it for about 5 minutes.
2. If you use a grill: Brush the fish inside and out with the oil; sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Put the sardines on the cool side of the grill, side by side, without crowding; cover, and cook for about 10 minutesbefore checking. If the sardines are opaque and firmed up a bit, carefullymove them directly over the heat to crisp the skin on both sides, about a minute on each side. If they're not quite ready, cover, and cook for a few more minutes. If you use the broiler: Put the sardines in the hot pan, and broil on each side for 4 or 5 minutes; it's OK if the skin blisters and chars a bit. If your pan won't hold all the fish, work in batches, transferring the first sardines to warmed plates. Garnish with the parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
Pasta With Dungeness Crab
Fishing method: trap.
MBA rating: Best Choice
Prep time: 18 minutes
Cooking time: 27 minutes
Serves 4
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 shallot, minced
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 12 ounces orecchiette
- 2 cups peas, fresh or frozen
- 1 head Bibb or Boston lettuc (about 6 ounces), cored, leaves cut into ¾-inch slices
- 1 teaspoon minced red habanero chiles
- ½ cup white wine
- 1 pound fresh lump crabmeat picked over
- ½ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1. Bring a large pot of water to boil, and salt it. Meanwhile, melt the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot, and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper; cook until the shallot begins to soften, about 5 minutes. When the water boils, add the orecchiette, and cook, following package directions, until they are just tender.
2. While the pasta is cooking, add to the skillet the peas, lettuce, chiles and white wine, and cook until the peas turn bright green and the lettuce is wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the crabmeat, mint and lemon peel to the pan, and stir well.
3. When the pasta is cooked, drain, reserving some water. Add the pasta to the skillet, and continue cooking and stirring until everything is just heated through, adding pasta water if needed to moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the mint, and serve.

2. Combine the sugar, soy sauce and sake in a small bowl.
3. Add fish fillets to the skillet, flesh side down. Add the soy sauce mixture, scallions, cilantro, rice vinegar and chile. Adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles, but not furiously. Cook 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, turning as the liquid thickens to coat the fish with a brown glaze. Add more water if the liquid looks too thick. Garnish with scallions and cilantro, and serve immediately.

NORTH PLAINS, Ore. (10/8-9/12) – Facing a field that featured six top-25-ranked teams, No. 25 Oregon ended with its best tourney team score of the fall in Pac-12 Preview last week (seventh, 287-289-290-866 (+2)).

This week Cal was tabbed No. 1 in all three national rankings conducted by Golfstat, Golfweek and Golfworld.
Three other league rivals stood top five in various editions - Washington (3/3/5), USC (4/-/-) and UCLA (8/4/4) – and the eight other league members' ratings following: Stanford (23/13/23), Colorado (54/38/RV), Oregon State (36/37/RV), Oregon (45/54/25), Arizona State (58/69/-), Washington State (59/49/-), Arizona (82/66/-), Utah (136/125/-).
In August, the Ducks were tabbed No. 14 and No. 23 in the preseason Golf World and Golf Week national polls, and were one of seven Pac-12 team spotted. Other teams hailing from the 'Conference of Champions' included No. 3/2 California, No. 4/5 UCLA, No. 5/6 Washington, No. 9/12 USC and No. 11/10 Stanford.
In last June's NCAA Championships, the 'Conference of Champions' featured one team in the quarterfinals (UCLA), and the Bruins led the stroke play scoring (872) by three strokes. Three other league members placed top 20 after the opening three rounds - USC (12th-t, 895), Arizona State (18th, 899) and California (19th-t, 902).
On the individual front, the Pac-12 featured three top-10 finishers in the 2012 NCAA Championships at the Riviera Country Club in L.A. - UCLA's Patrick Cantlay (fourth-tie, 74-72-66-212), California's Max Homa (ninth-tie, 76-70-68-214) and Stanford's Patrick Rodgers (ninth-tie, 69-72-73-214).
Eight others league players finished top 30 in stroke play – Oregon then-seniors Eugene Wong (11th-tie), Daniel Miernicki (21st-tie) and Andrew Vijarro (29th-tie), UCLA's Anton Arboleda (13th-tie) and Pedro Figueiredo (13th-tie), USC's Steve Lim (13th-tie) and Washington's Chris Williams (21st-tie) and Cheng-Tsyng Pan (29th-tie).
Historically, five different Pac-12 teams (Stanford (7 - 1938, 39, 41, 42, 46, 53, 94), Arizona State (2 - 1990, 96), UCLA (2 - 1988, 208), Arizona (1 - 1992) and California (1 - 2004) have combined for 13 NCAA team titles since the first collegiate championship in 1897.
League individuals have claimed 14 national championships in the same span courtesy of Stanford's Frank Tatum (1942) and Tiger Woods (1996), USC's Scott Simpson (1976, '77), Ron Commons (1981) and Jamie Lovemark (2007), Arizona State's Jim Carter (1983), Phil Mickelson (1989, '90, '92), Todd Demsey (1993) and Alejandro Cañizares (2003),Washington's James Lepp (2005) and UCLA's Kevin Chappell (2008).
Ranked top 15 nationally all last season, Oregon capped 2011-12 by matching its best-ever NCAA finish (third), tying for the Pac-12 Championships lead at the end of regulation for the second straight season, and finishing second in the NCAA Regional by one stroke. During the year, UO opened arguably its greatest campaign ever with team wins in six events and three individual victories.
Capping UO's greatest golf career, then-senior Eugene Wong topped the team in the final standings of six of its 13 stroke play events. His win in the Alister MacKenzie Invitational (65-63-67-195) last fall was his third career-wise, and his school-record 18-under score was a career best by eight strokes.
Among his 40 stroke play rounds on the season, the PING First-Team All-American had a team-best 23 under-par rounds (and another at par), and paced the team 18 times. Besides his Alister MacKenzie Invitational victory, he added two runner-up finishes in 2011-12 in the Oregon Duck Invitational (-6) and U.S. Intercollegiate (even) and a third-place finish in the Gifford Collegiate ((-7). In the postseason, he tied for third in the Pac-12, 13th in the NCAA and 19th in the NCAA Regional.
In the year-end Golfstat rankings, the 2010 Nickalaus Award winner and two-time Pac-12 Golfer of the Year (2010, '12) stood fourth overall (70.35, +0.177) not far behind national leader and Texas then-freshman Jordan Spieth (70.92).
Four other Ducks were ranked top 250 by Golfstat – fellow All-American, All-Pac-12 pick and then-seniors Daniel Miernicki (11th, 70.70) and Andrew Vijarro (136th, 72.57), Jonathan Woo (222nd, 73.68) and Robbie Ziegler (236th, 73.46).
The three-time All-Pac-12 First-Team choice Miernicki had the team's hottest start, and opened the fall with nine straight rounds of par or better, including seven under-par. Overall, the PING first-team All-American led the team in 13 stroke play rounds last year, including seven of the last 14.
In late March, he posted his second U.S. Intercollegiate victory in late March (66-72-66-204 (-6)) – also his fifth career win – and the same week he placed third in the Oregon Duck Invitational (71-69-72-212 (-4)). In early April, he added another of his eight top-10 finishes in the Western Intercollegiate (ninth, 73-70-69-212). In the final month of the season, he staked three straight runner-up finishes in the Aggie Invitational (73-70-74-217), Pac-12 Championships (68-72-66-71-277) and NCAA Ann Arbor Regional (71-65-70-206), then scored his best NCAA finish (21st-tie, 73-70-73-216).
In the fall, Miernicki posted top-20 placings in his first four events - the St. Mary's Invitational (3rd, 72-68-70-210), The Prestige (fifth, 70-69-68-207), Alister MacKenzie Invitational (12th-t, 67-68-71-206) and the Gifford Collegiate (20th-t, 73-73-72-218) – and also in the Bandon Dunes Championship in early March (15th-t, 73-57-72-220).
Vijarro staked his first collegiate win in the Oregon Duck Invitational (71-70-69-210) at the Eugene Country Club in late March. The Bend, Ore., native shot three, same-tourney, under-par scores for the second time in his career. His six-under score was his third under-par tourney total of the season and ninth career-wise (and only three off his career best (-9) that came in The Prestige event last fall (fifth, 68-71-68-207)).
Among other spring highlights, he scored a best-finish in the NCAA finale (29th-tie, 70-75-72-217), and four top-25 finishes in the Bandon Dunes Championship (12th, 71-74-74-219) and top 25 in the Aggie Invitational (20th-t, 78-79-71-228), Pac-12 Championships (21st-t, 79-72-68-72-291 (+3)) and U.S. Intercollegiate (25th-t, 69-74-74-217).
In other fall action, he added two more top-20 finishes in the St. Mary's Invitational (20th-t, 73-72-76-221) and Gifford Collegiate (17th, 75-74-68-217). His other fall effort - the Alister MacKenzie Invitational - featured two under-par rounds (31st, 73-69-69-211).
Overall in Oregon history, Miernicki, Wong and Vijarro capped their careers ranked 1-2-3 in career rounds of par or better (90-82-58).
Ziegler played 12 fall events for the Ducks last season after redshirting the 2010-11 campaign. The Canby, Ore., native kicked off the fall with a 15th-place finish in the St. Mary's Invitational (20th-t, 73-72-76-221), and his two-under second-round was his season best and among eight under-par scores on the campaign (to go along with two more at par).
Last spring, Ziegler led UO's team entries in the Bandon Dunes Championship in the overall results (ninth, 70-74-72-216) for the first time this year. He added top-25 overall placings in his late March/early April outings - the Oregon Duck Invitational (eighth-tie, 73-71-71-215 (-1)), U.S. Intercollegiate (fifth-tie, 68-70-72-210 (E)) and Aggie Invitational (21st-t, 72-74-71-74-291)).
Ranked top 250 for the Ducks the last two months of the campaign, Jonathan Woo jumped 84 places to his season-high national ranking (164th, 73.21) after he placed seventh in the NCAA Regional (72-66-70-208 (-5)). The Singapore native shot par or better scores in four of his seven rounds in the Pac-12 Championships and NCAA Regional to give him six overall among his 19 on the spring and season. In the NCAA Regional Ann Arbor in mid-May, he shot his first-under par tourney total – a five-under 208 (72-66-70) that included a five-under career-best second round.
He led UO for the first time in his career in March's Western Intercollegiate with his first-round 69 in his first appearance as a team entrant (42nd-tie, 69-82-73-224).
A month before in his collegiate debut, he shot a three-under, first-round 68 in the Bandon Dunes Championship en route to his highest collegiate tourney placing (seventh, 68-74-73-215 (+2)). In his second collegiate appearance (and as an individual), the Singapore native added his second top-20 effort in the Oregon Duck Invitational (16th, 73-73-73-219), and his three-over tourney score was only one stroke off his then-career best.
Rak Cho connected on under-par scores in six of his first nine rounds for the Ducks last fall, including a season-best five-under-67 in the finale of his collegiate debut, the St. Mary's Invitational (second, 74-68-67-209). He added a third-place effort in the Alister MacKenzie Invitational (67-68-66-201) en route to a 12-under tourney score that ranks fourth all-time for UO.
In the spring, Cho tied his season low round with his five-under 67 in the Amer Ari Invitational opener in early February. In March action, he added another under-par and par round on the par-71 Bandon Trails course en route to a third-place Bandon Dunes Championship finish and two-under tourney score (third, 72-68-71-211).
Ben Itterman played four spring events for the Ducks in 2011-12 and placed top 35 in three of them – the Aggie Invitational (20th, 77-79-72-228), Bandon Dunes Championship (30th-tie, 79-75-69-223) and Oregon Duck Invitational (32nd-tie, 73-76-74-223). He had three rounds of par or better this season (including a career-best-tying two-under 69) among his seven career-wise, and another at one over in the league finale.
Then-senior Jack Paton played seven events and carded three rounds at par and two more under par. The Hillsborough, Calif., native placed top 50 in five events this season, with his top-two placings in his first stops of the fall - the St. Mary's Invitational (33rd-tie, 70-81-76-227) and Alister MacKenzie Invitational (31st, 71-72-77-220).
Seventh-year Duck head coach Casey Martin has established himself as one of the nation's most respected coaches after an equally noteworthy collegiate and pro playing career.
Under his direction in 2011-12, Oregon capped arguably its greatest season by matching its best-ever NCAA finish (third), tying for the Pac-12 Championships leader for the second straight season, and finishing second in the NCAA Regional by one stroke. During the year, UO ranked top 15 nationally all season long as it staked team wins in six events and three individual victories in 2011-12.
Two years before, the Eugene native was tabbed the Pac-12 Coach of the Year in 2010 after he led the Ducks to a then-school-record five tournament victories and its first-ever NCAA Regional title. UO followed with a school-best tie for third place in the NCAA Championships in Chattanooga, Tenn., thanks to a fifth-place effort in stroke play, and quarterfinal match play win over league rival Washington, 3-2.
That same 2009-10 season, then-sophomore Eugene Wong was tabbed the co-Pac-12 Golfer of the Year, won the Jack Nicklaus Award as the Division I player of the year and was named a first-team PING All-American. Wong's tie for ninth at the NCAA Championships is believed to be the best finish ever by a UO golfer.
Other highlights his first few seasons included, wins in the 2006 Northwest Collegiate Classic - his second event at the Duck helm - and the 2007 Thunderbird Invitational in Tempe. Prior to becoming head coach, he served as a volunteer assistant for the Ducks during the 2005-06 season.
Before that he was one of the nation's most recognized professionals since the start of his pro career in 1998. He earned his PGA Tour card in 2000 - the same season he recorded five top-50 finishes. His best showing was a tie for 17th in the 2000 Tucson Open, and he also placed 23rd in the 1998 U.S. Open. This year, he also appeared in the U.S. Open and competed in fall PGA events in Boise and Las Vegas.
A graduate of South Eugene High School, Martin was a three time all-conference selection and a two-time All-American at Stanford. In 1995, he received Academic All-America honors while graduating with a degree in economics. He was a member of the 1994 Stanford team that won the NCAA championship.
The Oregon men's golf team welcomes back Brad Lanning to the program for his second year as an assistant coach. Well known as highly successful high school golf coach, Lanning rejoined forces with head coach Casey Martin - his former Stanford teammate from three seasons, including the Cardinal's 1994 NCAA Championship squad.
After college, Lanning spent six years playing professionally with stints on the Hooters Tour, South American Tour and Canadian PGA, and also worked as a stock broker before entering the coaching ranks.
Success came quickly for Lanning as a high school assistant coach with a state title and runner-up finish in two years at St. Stephen's Episcopal School in Bradenton, Fla. After relocating to Colorado to enter a master's program at Denver Seminary, Lanning assisted Valor Christian High School to a pair of state championships in his three seasons at the helm.
A 1994 Stanford graduate with a degree in Political Science, Lanning, 41, earned his master's in Counseling at Denver Seminary in 2011.

Exhibit A
THE PARTY Art enthusiasts flocked to Midtown for the grand opening of Studio 905 on Juniper, a boutique art gallery and studio space. The first exhibit, Hispanoamericanos: Traveling Souls, was on display for guests to walk around and observe in between idle conversation.
THE SCENE Artists Son of the Moon, Felix Berrora (also a curator) and Jose Pena were in attendance to talk with enthusiastic patrons about their works. Owner Adriana D'La Rotta Thumann beamed, and attendees (councilman Kwanza Hall stopped by) perused the enchanting pieces as they mixed and mingled while sipping on drinks from the wine bar and enjoying appetizer bites of chicken and cheese.
