Exxon Announces Cutoff for Warming Skeptics – Again
ExxonMobil last week announced for the second consecutive year that it will cut funding to nine groups fueling climate science skepticism, including the Capital Research Center, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, Frontiers of Freedom Institute, the George C. Marshall Institute, and the Institute for Energy Research. Each group continued to receive Exxon funding in 2007 after the company's first announcement that it would discontinue the payments. Exxon did not immediately return calls seeking comment on how serious it was in following through on its plans.
The renewed promise to cut financial aid to skeptic groups preceded a shareholder meeting where activist shareholders offered several green resolutions, including ones that would have stripped CEO Rex Tillerson of his chairmanship, pushed the company toward greater investment in alternative energies, and committed the company to firm greenhouse gas reduction targets. The resolutions, proposed by descendants of Exxon founder John D. Rockefeller, were all rejected by shareholders.Meanwhile, the government's Climate Change Science Program last week released its long-awaited report on the impacts of climate change in the U.S. A federal court ordered "Effects of Climate Change on Agriculture, Land Resources, Water Resources, and Biodiversity" after environmental groups sued the Bush Administration over suppression of information on climate change. The report predicted extensive drought, food shortages, and reduced biodiversity throughout the U.S. These findings have "been well-understood in the science community and in the government for some time," said Rick Piltz, Director of the Government Accountability Project's Climate Science Watch program.
Study: Health Journalists Get F in Reporting
A new study published in PLOS Medicine criticized the media's coverage of health stories as potentially dangerous to consumers and offered suggestions on how the press could improve its reporting. Gary Schwitzer, the paper's author and a University of Minnesota journalism professor, collected and analyzed two years' worth of data from his website, HealthNewsReview.org, which evaluates health news stories and provides journalists with feedback. Out of more than 500 stories evaluated, 62 percent to 77 percent failed to adequately address costs, harms, benefits, the quality of evidence and the existence of other options when covering health care products and procedures, according to the paper.
Private Food Safety Labs Hide Negative Tests
Some private U.S. laboratories are under investigation by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for withholding samples of tainted food and allowing importers to continue to bring their contaminated products into the U.S., the Chicago Tribune reported last week. A letter by the Congressional committee to the labs suggests that importing companies pressured them to toss out results that failed Food and Drug Administration standards. "We're gathering information from both the FDA and private industry about the labs almost being complicit in helping importers game the system," investigations subcommittee chairman Bart Stupak (D-MI) told the Tribune. "Someone told us you pay for the result you want to get from the labs."
Earlier this year, CEO David Eisenberg of Anresco Laboratories, a private lab that tests imported food, told the subcommittee that private labs sometimes withhold negative test results. "If the importer tells us not to submit the information to the FDA, the FDA never sees it," Eisenberg testified. "We are not employed by the FDA, and the FDA has no authority over private labs that are generating imported-food test results, so we have to follow the advice of our customer." The Center for Science in the Public Interest is supporting a bill currently in the House of Representative that urges increased government regulation of food safety testing. The bill allows the FDA to give third-party certification to private labs only if they uphold FDA standards for testing.
Medtronic Settlement Provides Strong Whistleblower Protections
Potential whistleblowers at Medtronic Spine LLC will be granted broad protections as part of the company's $75 million settlement with the Justice Department for defrauding Medicare. The settlement was announced earlier this month. The settlement required Medtronic to enter a Corporate Integrity Agreement (CIA) with the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Inspector General to ensure compliance with HHS regulations. In their CIA, Medtronic detailed a disclosure program that provides a toll-free compliance telephone line where potential whistleblowers can anonymously air their concerns with someone other than a direct supervisor. Compliance officers are required to begin inquiries in response to concerns and make a record of any corrective action. Non-retribution and non-retaliation were also emphasized in the disclosure program.
The government alleged that the Medtronic division, formerly known as Kyphon, submitted fraudulent claims for surgeries treating spine factures from osteoporosis, cancer or lesions. By convincing healthcare providers to perform the minimally invasive surgeries as an inpatient rather than outpatient procedure, the company successfully over-billed Medicare for years. The company's fraud was revealed in 2005 by Craig Patrick and Chuck Bates, reimbursement manager and regional sales manager of Kyphon, respectively. Patrick left the company after his complaints about Kyphon's actions went unheeded.
CSPI Protests Adding Sub-Standard Payment Guides at CMS
The Center for Science in the Public Interest has asked the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to postpone adding three pharmaceutical compendia to its roster of drug reference guides that can be used to justify reimbursement for off-label use of anti-cancer drugs. Being listed in a compendium could greatly enhance sales of a drug. CMS last February received requests from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Compendium, Elsevier's Clinical Pharmacology, and Thomas Micromedex' DrugPoints and DrugDex to be included on that roster. As reported two weeks ago in Integrity in Science Watch, the NCCN compendium fails to meet criteria established by a CMS advisory committee in March 2006 that drug reference guides have a publicly transparent process for evaluating therapies and identifying potential conflicts of interests. The letter also cited an Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research technology analysis that found that the three compendia failed to meet rigorous scientific standards when they added potential off-label uses to their drug listings.
Odds and Ends
At an international gathering of alcohol policy and public health researchers in Dublin two weeks ago, attendees decided that for the legitimacy and integrity of alcohol research, financial relationships with the alcohol industry should be avoided. The decision, called the Clarion Declaration, was adopted in response to fears that the industry was limiting and influencing alcohol research, the Alcohol, Drugs and Development program reported . . . . Low levels of lead exposure can lead to permanent brain damage and has been linked to violent crime arrest, according to the first study examining lead exposure from childhood to adulthood. The paper's authors argued that lead continues to be problem despite by government efforts to minimize exposure . . . . Pfizer last week began an advertising and public relations campaign to counter concerns about the company anti-smoking drug, Chantix. The tobacco cessation medication, which has come under the scrutiny of Sen. Charles Grassley, has been linked to heart irregularities, seizures, dizziness, depression, and suicide.
Cheers and Jeers
With this issue, Integrity in Science Watch begins its bi-weekly summer schedule. The next issue will be posted online on June 16th.For more information, contact: Center for Science in the Public Interest

TEMPE, Ariz. - Arizona State dropped the final game of the series with Oral Roberts on Sunday, losing 5-2. One big inning by the Golden Eagles was ASU's undoing, as the Sun Devil offense couldn't seem to find their rhythm all afternoon. ORU scored five times in the fifth, all the offense they would need to drop ASU to 15-4 on the year.
Starter Brady Rodgers cruised through the first four innings, but ran into trouble in the fifth. Cam Schiller led off the inning by reaching on an error by Deven Marrero, and TJ Bennett drove him in with an RBI double. Brett Burch and Spencer Barnett then followed with RBI singles, and Brandon King capped off the scoring for the inning with a two-run double off the wall in right field. That was the end for Rodgers, as he allowed five runs (four earned) in 4.1 innings.
The Sun Devils cut into the deficit in the sixth, scoring two runs on an RBI groundout by Austin Barnes and a single by Joey DeMichele. But they would get no closer, as eight ORU pitchers kept the Devils off the board in every inning except the sixth.
Zack MacPhee, Zach Wilson and Matt Newman all had two hits in the loss.
ASU returns to action on Tuesday, with the first of a two-game series at Cal State Fullerton. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. at Goodwin Field.

Why is Scarlett Johansson desirable?
We'll admit that we had started to take Scarlett Johansson for granted. We knew she was hot, but she was a bit overexposed. Then Don Jon came out and reminded us of those curves. And then Her reminded us of that voice. We're back on the bandwagon. Big time.

Guitar legend Larry Coryell joins forces with a group of impressive session musicians in this new funk jam, Larry Coryell With the Wide Hive Players, due to be released next week on April 12th. Dubbed "the Godfather of Fusion" by Downbeat Magazine, Larry Coryell has earned a permanent place in music history. He brought what amounted to a near alien sensibility to jazz-electric guitar playing in the 1960′s, a hard-edged, cutting tone that owed as much to blues, rock and even country as it did to earlier, smoother bop influences.
The Players consist of bassist Matt Montgomery (Calvin Keys and Variable Unit) and Thomas McCree (Lyrics Born's drummer), horn players Mike Rinta (Sly Stone, Santana), Doug Rowan (Jazz Mafia) and pianist Adam Shulman, all contribute to create a cohesive alive sound, reminiscent of Coryell's popular Offerings or Eleventh House era (1972-74). Primarily Jazz-Funk, the album also glows with overtones of soul, blues, has a definitive rock undercurrent. Check out the first single, "Return of Shirtless" -

Camping with my wife after a rainstorm, i was gathering wood for a fire when I ran across another bunch of older gentlemen, sitting around a NON-lit cmpfire. I asked them If I could use a large log just outside of their site. They laughed and told me that they had tried to burn that soaking wet tree trunk for 2 days, with no luck. I told them that I could have this log up and burning within 10 minutes of lighting it.
they laughed and bet me $50.00 that I COULD NOT get and keep it lit.They stipulated that I couldnot use gasoline, I agreed.
I took the bet and dragged the item back to my campsite.
I grabbed a tube of PL400 from my truck and slathered the whole tube on the log.
It went up instantly and stayed lit all night long.
And I was $50.00 richer!
Sub Floor adhesive is an EXCELLENT fire starter even for wet items.

TUCSON - The University of Arizona Wildcat men's and No. 5 women's track and field teams both earned first-place finishes at the 2013 Dave Murray Invitational on Friday. The Wildcats hosted the meet at Dell Urich Golf Course.
The men's 4.25-mile race was first on the day and freshman Collins Kibet won with a time of 21:29.89. In the first two competitive races of his life, Kibet has earned a fourth-place finish (George Kyte Classic) and first-place finish, respectively. The second-place finisher on the day was junior Sam Macaluso, he had a time of 21:34.01 in his season debut. Junior Kenji Bierig also made his season debut and his time of 21:58.23 was good for third place. Freshman Matthew Beer took sixth place with a time of 22:12.48. Sophomore Jonas Legernes was the final scorer for the Wildcats and he took seventh place overall with a time of 22:20.12. Sophomore Dylan Hopper (eighth place; 22:24.03), junior Thomas Valente (13th place; 22:38.81), freshman Travis Thorne (14th place; 22:49.67), sophomore Sam Willis (16the place; 22:59.15), junior Braden Timpe (19th place; 23:12.38), freshman Jeff Gautreau (21st place; 23:48.41), freshman Michael Cox (23rd place; 24:01.70) and freshman Brendan Tinoco (25th place; 25:14.85) also ran for the UA men's team.
Overall, the men's team won the Division I section with a total of 19 points. Northern Arizona took second place with 45 points. Arizona State had 69 points in third place and Grand Canyon finished in fourth place tallying 99 points. The meet was also scored in double-dual fashion, the UA men beat Arizona State 15 to 48. Arizona's men had 15 while Grand Canyon had 50. Arizona had 19 points to Northern Arizona's 40. Northern Arizona beat Arizona State 20 to 35. Northern Arizona also beat Grand Canyon 15 to 40.
"Collins' first win as a Wildcat and as a freshman, it's great," head coach James .i said. "It wasn't a particularly competitive race but it was great for him to win and next time will be a much bigger test for him and the rest of our team. I think Sam Macaluso has come a long way and has really made great improvements. The rest of the team did better, but we still have as a ways to go if we want to qualify for the NCAA Championships."
"The race was pretty good today," Kibet said. "We started slow and then me and Sam (Macaluso) took the lead and after about 1,000 meters we realized it was going too slow so we started speeding up. Towards the end, Sam was getting a bit tired and I just took off and sprinted towards the finish. It was tough but I did it. I'm very happy to win this race because a good start will always help take you through (the season). I know the next race will be tough so I had to run well today because as they get tougher, it will be proportional for me. So I am really happy for that."
On the women's side, freshman Maria Larsson took first place with a time of 16:31.73 in the three-mile race. Junior Nicci Corbin took second place with a time of 16:39.68. Junior Hanna Peterson's time of 17:14.19 was good for fourth place overall. Junior Stephanie Bulder had a time of 17:17.73, good for fifth place. Sophomore Molly Callahan was the final scorer for the women's squad, taking seventh place with a time of 17:23.71. Senior Erin Menefee (eighth place; 17:25.24), junior Kate Penney (11th place; 17:48.07), freshman McKenna Gaffney (25th place; 18:57.05) also ran for the Wildcats.
The women's team won the Division I section with 19 points overall. Arizona State's tally of 40 points was good for second place. Northern Arizona finished with 85 points in third place and Grand Canyon totaled 120 points in fourth place. For the double dual scoring, Arizona beat Arizona State 19 to 40. Arizona beat Grand Canyon 15 to 50. Arizona also beat Northern Arizona 15 to 50. Arizona won the matchup versus Northern Arizona by a score of 15 to 50. Northern Arizona beat Grand Canyon by a score of 15 to 50 as well.
"It went well, I felt good," Larsson said. "The Wildcats did a great job so I'm very proud of my girls. I stuck to the plan and I went easy for the first two miles and the last I tried to pick up the pace a little and I think we all did a great job. This is my second run in college and my first win so it means a lot. To do it here in Tucson is an amazing feeling. There were a lot of people here and they were cheering and that felt good."
"Maria is really a super freshman," Li said." She is doing a fantastic job. At NAU she took second place to her teammate (Kayla Beattie) and today she won. We're so happy to have her here and she really elevates the team. I think Nicci (Corbin) had a really solid race and Hanna Peterson ran a lot better this year and so did Molly Callahan. Stephanie Bulder, coming off a really strong track season, has been doing really well. I think we still have girls that are capable of stepping up even more and that's what we need if we really want to be a top finisher at the NCAA Championships."

A gas leak in a South Abilene neighborhood forced evacuations Thursday morning.
City of Abilene utility crews were repairing a water line just before 8 a.m. in the 1900 block of Ballinger Street when they accidentally severed a natural gas line, according to Abilene Fire Department Lt. Greg Goettsch.
"We found out that it was a 2-inch natural gas line that had been struck which puts out a significant amount of gas in a residential neighborhood," Goettsch said.
Blake Sims said the damaged line was in his front yard and firefighters knocked on his door to tell him he was being evacuated.
"I was going to leave for work like it was a normal day and, yeah, by the time I was ready they said 'get on out of there, grab what you need'--which was just phone and keys," Sims said.
A total of 12 residents were evacuated. The city provided buses for them to sit in while they waited for Atmos Energy crews to stop the leak.
Goettsch said natural gas is not poisonous but it is flammable and could cause suffocation in large amounts. He said the cold morning air and low winds contributed to the high concentration Thursday.
Atmos stopped the leak around 10:20 a.m. and residents were allowed to go back inside their homes.

Throughout the year, we'll be profiling members of the Spirit Squad and Band. This week, Senior Angelica Perez.
Angelica Perez
2nd year on Spirit Squad
Major in Communications with a Minor in Media Analysis
Q:How did you get into cheer?
A: I used to play tennis growing up and my mom would play right after me and I would sit and wait for her and just look through the chain link fence and these cheerleaders practicing. I didn't even know what it was called, but I wanted to do it. At first my mom said no, because she thought I would quit tennis if I did it, but eventually she signed me up when I was eight and I've been cheering ever since then.
Q:Do you miss tennis?
A:Yeah, I do it was something my mom did and I was just following in her footsteps, but I'm also glad I got into cheer.
Q:What's your favorite memory from Spirit Squad?
A:Leading the crowd in my first game, stepping onto the field and pumping up the crowd and knowing that all my hard work had paid off.
Q:What's your favorite ASU tradition?
A:My favorite is probably the third down, because the whole crowd gets involved with us and the band playing out the beat, that's definitely my favorite one.
Q:What's the game you're most looking forward to this season?
A: I'm really looking forward to family weekend. I'm from southern California and we're playing USC. I have a lot of friends that go there, and hearing that they lost their first game, that's motivating. I think I'll end up with the bragging rights.
Q:What's an accomplishment you are most proud of outside of spirit squad?
A:The accomplishment I'm most proud of is making it this far in college. I had my older brother to look up to. He went all four years, but my sisters in between kind of did their own thing. I was kind of nervous going out of state, but now that I'm in my senior year it's just a really big accomplishment for me and my family.
Q:What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
A:I am 17 years apart from my older brother. No one ever really knows I have a brother, like he could have been my dad if he had me really young! That's something really cool that I like to share with people.
Q:Are you and your brother close?
A:Yeah we're really close. He lives in Santa Barbara and we talk as much as we can, and he just had a kid, its really exciting.
Q:What do plan on doing after ASU?
A:My dream job would be to do special events for an entertainment company. Right now, I'm working for Live Nation, so hopefully that opens doors but my goal is to venture back to LA and work for AEG or Live Nation and do private events for entertainment companies.
Q:Do you prefer texting or phone calls?
A:I guess it just depends on the situation. I usually prefer texting but sometimes a text message just goes the wrong way, it really just depends on what I'm trying to relate to the person.

Baby boomers, hate to tell you this, but your inheritance is about to go bust.
Only 14 percent of parents of boomers think they owe their kids an inheritance, Money reports. Instead, they'll spend their dough on fun with their family and health care (well, it's hard to blame them for that one).
"Culturally, the idea of a legacy has disappeared for all but the very wealthy," Hendrik Hartog, author of Someday All This Will Be Yours, tells Money.
Mwah! That was the sound of our kissing any foreseeable retirement far, far away.

As we all know, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl will be officially released tomorrow, April 22nd. They are much anticipated games that are sure to offer Pokemon fans like us countless hours of fun. I shall be getting my copy soon (it has already been shipped to me by Amazon) and will start playing soon. Of course, as always, I will be writing an in-depth walkthrough filled with everything you might need to get through the game. I will also be putting up other sections discussing specific aspects of the game. However, this time, I need some help.
First of all, I'll need screenshot contributions. Basically, I'll only be playing the game and writing out the details. Thus, I need people to help take high-quality (to the best of their abilities) screenshots in certain areas of the game, either with a digital camera or some other method that can produce clear images.
In addition, I'll need contributions for additional guides that people have written themselves. This includes strategies, tips, and those sort of things. These can be incorporated into the walkthrough or added as separate sections.
Basically, I need help. And, if you can help, it would be great. Please send an email to me at email@example.com . And for our visitors, thanks for your patience, and have fun with the games!

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsJanuary 8, 2014
Since 1998, the career center at Illinois State University has tapped into the experience and expertise of the area's senior population to help provide services to students.
The Senior Professionals organization was formed to provide partnerships and interactions between retired and semi-retired people, and the Illinois State University students, faculty, and community.
Members of Senior Professionals serve as a valuable resource for academic functions of the university, explains Stephen Cantine, director of Illinois State University's career center.
"In addition," he says, "they strengthen the relationship of Illinois State University within the community. The Senior Professionals organization offers creative learning experiences, cultural enrichment, and social interaction."
These professionals held varied positions—ranging from teachers to judges—and they share an insider's knowledge of career areas, and provide insights and connections that assist students who are embarking on their careers.
"Senior Professionals provide a safe place for students to ask questions they may be too afraid to ask a recruiter or career adviser," Cantine says.
About 20 of the roughly 158 senior professionals participate in career center-sponsored events and programs, such as mock interviews, resume critiques, and the "first check" area during career fairs, where senior professionals provide advice, brief interviews, and a last-minute boost of confidence to students.
In addition, senior professionals assist the career center with pre-fair tours, which are designed to assist students who are nervous about attending the fair by giving them an up-close and detailed look at the event prior to its start.
The Illinois State University career center also offers a "senior professional in residence" program. Modeled after an "employer in residence" program, senior professionals spend a day in the career center meeting students on varying topics related to their backgrounds and discussing the students' specific career goals.
"Many senior professionals comment on how rewarding it is to pass on knowledge to a student about an industry or provide support during and after a mock interview," Cantine says. "When I see the students and the senior professionals interacting, I can see the genuine appreciation that each has for the other."
The career center appreciates the assistance of the senior professionals, who volunteer their services and even pay dues that help raise money for different projects on campus and in the community.
"I think for some senior professionals, it's a way to stay connected to a career and to share their knowledge, expertise, and experiences to a new generation of students who want to follow in their footsteps," Cantine says. "It's not all that different than the motivation that many of us had for getting into the field of career development."

ZF-5928: getList() returns only current value and not all available lanuages in case we use Zend_Translate+Zend_Cache
According API docs: {quote} getList Zend_Translate_Adapter::getList() in Adapter.php Returns the available languages from this adapter {/quote}
But it returns only language code for current (default) cached language, instead of returning the list of all available languages in translation data source.
This is a problem for me as I'm using the getList() method to extract values and build the languages selectbox to allow user to select interface language.
Will attach the code to reproduce this error
according the attached code sample:
Refresh the page couple times and you will see only one language in the list, even if we have three languages available in translation data source.
Clear the cache and you will see all three languages in the list, but only for this time. Refresh again and you will see one language in the list again.
getList() returns all loaded languages. This is independently of which language has been set.
So when the language is not loaded, it will not be returned.
I expect that you are having problems eighter with your implementation or with your cache. I am not able to reproduce this behaviour on my system.
My implementation actually is a quite simple script with only 46 lines. You can find it in attached "zend_translate_problem.zip". Can you please try it? ( tmp/ subdirectory must be writable)
All code works great if we disable Zend_Cache
I've perfomed some debug using ZendDebuger and found the following:
- During the first run of the script, Zend_Translate_Adapter loads the metadata (available languages) from translation source (TMX file in my case), and tranlation data only for current language (locale).
Then it writes all information into cache using Zend_Cache instance. As only current locale data was loaded then we have translation information cached only for one (current) locale.
- After we refresh the page, - Zend_Translate loads data from cache now and not from original translation data source. So we receiving only one language available in ->getList() method because we have cached information for one locale.
I've found this code in Zend/Translate/Adapter.php
{{monospaced}} if (isset(self::$cache)) { $id = 'Zend_Translate' . preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9_]/', '', $data) . '' . $locale . '_' . $this->toString(); $result = self::$_cache->load($id); if ($result) { $this->_translate[$locale] = unserialize($result); $read = false; } }
if ($read) {
$this->_loadTranslationData($data, $locale, $options);
If cache exists it loads the information from cache and "$read = false;" indicates that we don't need to read translation source file. Here is our issue: We have information only for ONE locale in the cache, and there is no any information about other locales available in the cache. Thats why when we calling ->getList() method we receiving only one available language instead of the list of available languages.
I can reproduce this on my clear install of ZendServer + WinXP + ZF 1.8dev (lates co from SVN)
I saw your last commit according this issue. I've tested new code and it looks OK right now, so I think the issue can be closed. Thanks.
Reworked cache handling with r14274 which solves also this issue.

International Walk and Bike to School Day is Oct. 3!
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (Oct. 1, 2012) — On Wednesday, Oct. 3, thousands of students, parents and communities representing more than 3,300 schools across the United Sates will walk and bicycle to school to celebrate International Walk to School Day. This one-day event is part of an international effort to encourage more families to get out of their cars and on to their feet to enjoy the many benefits of safely walking and bicycling to school.
"Walk to School Day continues to inspire community-grown events that celebrate health, safety and a sense of community," said Lauren Marchetti, director of the National Center for Safe Routes to School, which serves as the coordinating agency for the event. "Often, this one-day event becomes the catalyst to larger commitments and permanent improvements that make walking and bicycling to school safer transportation options year round."
U.S. Deputy Secretary of Transportation John Porcari and other national, state and local guests will join a group of Piney Branch Elementary students in Takoma Park, Md., on Wednesday morning as a part of Montgomery County's Walk to School Day celebration. He will also present a special recognition award for the school's Safe Routes to School program.
"Every child should have the opportunity to walk to school safely," said Transportation Deputy Secretary John Porcari. "Walk to School Day encourages children to experience walk-friendly environments and affirms the importance of walking and biking for a new generation of Americans."
Walk to School Day was founded in 1997 as a way to bring community leaders and children together to build awareness of the need for communities to be more walkable. By 2002, children, parents, teachers and community leaders in all 50 states and the District of Columbia joined nearly 3 million walkers around the world to celebrate the second annual International Walk to School Day. In 2011, students and parents from more than 4,000 U.S. schools joined millions of Walk to School Day and Month participants worldwide. The one-day event has now grown to a month-long celebration, and the reasons for walking have grown just as quickly as the event itself.
"Each year the event continues to reinforce the importance of safer environments for walking and bicycling, more physical activity, fewer car trips, and a cleaner environment for students, parents and all community members," Marchetti said. "It also provides a unique opportunity for families to get outside and connect with their neighbors."
Walk to School events will be held nationwide on Wednesday and throughout the month of October. To view the names and locations of registered U.S. schools participating in Walk to School Day 2012, visit www.walktoschool.org/who/index.cfm.
The National Center for Safe Routes to School maintains the Walk and Bike to School website, www.walkbiketoschool.org, with funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration.
The National Center also serves as the clearinghouse for the Federal Safe Routes to School Program, established in 2005, which strives to create safe settings to enable more parents and children to walk and bicycle to school. More than 13,350 schools participate in programs in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Accomplishments include increases in walking and bicycling to school, speed reductions within the school zone, and reductions in school transportation costs. Programs reach urban, rural and suburban areas throughout the nation.

Lower prices and better selection of goods is why so many Canadians flock across the border and into the U.S. each day. (Ward Perrin/PNG FILES)

|Cowan, Buchanan honored by North Idaho Hall
University of Idaho punter Bobby Cowan and Vandal volleyball coach Debbie Buchanan were honored at last Saturday's North Idaho Hall of Fame banquet for their achievements during their 2011 seasons.
Cowan was chosen the Male College Athlete of the Year, while Buchanan was honored as the College Coach of the Year.
Cowan gained recognition after becoming just the second Vandal in school history to be honored as a Football Writers' Association of America all-American, while Buchanan earned the accolade after becoming the winningest volleyball coach in University of Idaho history.
Cowan averaged 46.4 yards per kick and had a career long punt of 76 yards during the 2011 season. He was a Ray Guy Award semifinalist and is the Vandals' all-time career punting average leader with 45.2 yards per kick, which comes from covering 8,552 yards on 189 punts.
Buchanan led Idaho to a 16-12 overall record, a 10-4 record in WAC play and the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament, Idaho's highest finish since joining the WAC. Idaho finished the regular season on a five-match winning streak to clinch second place in the WAC on the final day of conference play. The Vandals went 10-2 overall since Oct. 1, and in that time Buchanan surpassed Tom Hilbert as Idaho's all-time winningest coach with 179 career wins.

Perimenopause - self-care; Hormone replacement therapy - self-care; HRT- self-care
Menopause is most often a natural event that normally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. After menopause, a woman can no longer become pregnant.
For most women, menstrual periods will slowly stop over time.
Your menstrual flow may come to a sudden halt after surgeries to remove your ovaries, chemotherapy, or certain hormone treatments for breast cancer.
Hot flashes and sweats are at their worst for the first 1 to 2 years after your last period. Menopause symptoms may last 5 or more years.
Your doctor may have prescribed hormone therapy to relieve symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, sleep problems, and vaginal symptoms.
Take these hormones the way your doctor prescribed them. Ask your doctor what you should do if you miss a dose.
When taking hormones:
To help control hot flashes:
Watching what you eat or drink can improve your symptoms and help you sleep:
Nicotine stimulates the body and will make it harder to fall asleep. This includes both cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. So if you smoke, consider quitting.
Vaginal dryness may be relieved by using a water-soluble vaginal lubricant during intercourse. Do not use petroleum jelly.
Once you have not had a period for 1 year, you are no longer at risk of becoming pregnant. Before that, use birth control to prevent pregnancy. Do not use mineral oils or other oils if you use condoms, as these may damage latex condoms or diaphragms.
Kegel exercises can help with vaginal muscle tone and help you control urine leakage.
Reach out to other people. Find someone you trust (such as a friend, family member, or neighbor) who will listen to you and offer support. Often, just talking to someone helps relieve some of the anxiety and stress of menopause.
Get plenty of exercise. It can help you feel healthier and will keep your bones strong.
You need enough calcium and vitamin D to prevent bone thinning (osteoporosis):
After menopause, a woman's risk for heart disease and stroke goes up. Ask your doctor about what you should do to control your blood pressure, cholesterol, and other risk factors for heart disease.
Call your doctor if you find you are unable to manage your symptoms of menopause with home care only.
Also call your doctor if you have any unusual menstrual bleeding, or if you have any spotting or bleeding at all 1 year or more after your last period.

This new Raphael Saadiq video for "Day Dreams" off of his latest release, Stone Rollin', is just cute. Featuring actor Danny Pudi from NBC's "Community," the video shows a broke but overzealous lover going on a shopping spree he can't quite afford. What's funny is that Pudi's character really doesn't seem to have a single care about his bad checks and debt building, and continues to carry along every so merrily.

ZF-2577: _dependentTables and _referenceMap should have class parameter
I tried to follow Coding Standard and Naming Conventions with my database models. But it all breaks when I try $paper->findPaperWriter() or $paperWriter->findParentPaper().
CREATE TABLE paper ... CREATE TABLE paper_writer ( paper_id... );
So I'd like to have
Database/Paper.php Database/Paper/Writer.php
class Database_Paper class Database_Paper_Writer
All of this would work, if I would call $paper->findDatabasePaperWriter() or $paperWriter->findParentDatabasePaperWriter(), but as you can see this is not a very good solution. I found two solutions.
"class" parameter in _dependentTables and _referenceMap, that would tell ZF to look for certain class instead of trying magically resolve it. Zend/Db/Table/Row/Abstarct.php findDependentRowset() and findParentRow() should check for if there parameter has been set and use that instead of the one received as $dependentTable or $parentTable parameter.
have addHelperPath() similar to Zend_View View Helper
Quick test with Zend/Db/Table/Row/Abstract.php findDependentRowset() seems to work just fine!
$dependapleTables = $this->_getTable()->getDependentTables();
if (is_array($dependapleTables[$dependentTable])) {
$dependentTable = new $dependapleTables[$dependentTable]['class'](array('db' => $db));
} elseif (is_string($dependentTable)) {
Apparently I don't know how to use comment markup on here, sorry about that.
After using my fix for a while I noticed some problems with Parent magic methods. I noticed, that there's a lot of code that would require if clauses. So instead of option 1. I presented earlier I'm now leaning towards option 2. of using addDatabasePath(). Option 2 would also be backwards compatible and would ease working.
After some copy paste from Zend_View I have a working Zend_Db_Table_Abstract and Zend_Db_Table_Row_Abstract, that utilizes addDatabasePath() concept and this time it even seems to work without a problem.
I'll generate a patch of it tomorrow after cleanup.
This patch modifies Db/Table/Abstract.php and Db/Table/Row/Abstract.php adding the possibility to have prefixes for database files. I have database tables on each file so hierarchially so, that it's 1:1 to the datbase.
Example of Customer table: In bootstrap Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::addRelationshipPath('../library/Site/Db/Table', 'Site_Db_Table');
../library/Site/Db/Table/Customer.php class Site_Db_Table_Customer{}
This is a proper patch. The previous contained hardcoding from my codebase.
Perhaps the first str_replace('' could be replaced with some ZF core function?
The _addPath had a minor defunc, when it didn't check if the path already exists.
Fixed function
private function _addPath($path, $prefix = null)
foreach ((array) $path as $dir) {
// attempt to strip any possible separator and
// append the system directory separator
$dir = str_replace(array('/', '\\'), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, $dir);
$dir = rtrim($dir, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR)
$params = array('prefix' => $prefix, 'dir' => $dir);
if (!in_array($params, self::$_path)){
// add as array with prefix and dir keys
array_unshift(self::$_path, $params);
I think this is change is required to maintain compability with those who wont be using RelationshipPath. The main point is the code inside else.
protected function _prepareReference(Zend_Db_Table_Abstract $dependentTable, Zend_Db_Table_Abstract $parentTable, $ruleKey)
if (count($parentTable->getRelationshipPath() > 0) {
foreach ($parentTable->getRelationshipPath() as $relationshipPath) {
$parentTable = str_replace('_', '', str_replace($relationshipPath, '', get_class($parentTable)));
} else {
$parentTable = get_class($parentTable);
Please categorize/fix as needed.
This latest patch contains all the fixes applied against trunk.
And of course I managed to screw newest patch up a bit. Table/Row/Abstract.php line 776 is missing closing )
Otherwise it's good to go
My patches remove @ in front of Zend_Loader and thus, should to some extent solve the issue.
Reassigning to Ralph since he's the new maintainer of Zend_Db
Will evaluate within 2 weeks
Marking this as 'wont fix'. There are a couple of new components in place that would better facilitate what you are asking for. First is the module autoloader in Zend_Application. You can read about the Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader here http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstart/… and here http://devzone.zend.com/article/4525
As for the magic finder __call() method, I would tend to stay away from it: findParentClassNameByRule() in favor of the actual calls themselves: findParentRow($class ...) and findDependentRowset($class, ...)
Have a look at the new Zend_Application functionailty, i think it solves what you are looking for.

Gardening Articles: Health :: Cooking
Canning Beans
by National Gardening Association Editors
Canning beans is a great way to store them for future use. Follow these steps for the best beans.
Canning Beans
1. For safety and health, use a pressure canner with an accurate gauge for canning low-acid vegetables like beans.
For complete instructions and precautions for pressure canning, carefully read and follow the instruction booklets that accompany your canner and your jars. If there is a discrepancy between the directions that came with your canner and the ones below, follow the instructions that accompanied your specific canner. There are also several books available that deal at greater length with pressure canning. One that's clear, complete and concise is Putting Food By, by Hertzberg, Vaughan and Greene; another "bible" is the Ball Blue Book, which always has the most current U. S. Department of Agriculture canning information in its frequent updates.
2. Assemble all utensils: pressure canner, Mason-type canning jars, lids, bands, tongs or jar lifter, timer, cooling racks, wide-mouth funnel, slotted spoon, wooden or plastic spatula or "bubbler" and colander.
Use only Mason-type jars for home canning. These self-sealing, airtight jars are safe for canning because the glass is heat-tempered. Don't bother saving other jars, such as mayonnaise jars, for canning vegetables.
Do not reuse dome lids. The rubber compound loses its ability to seal perfectly after one use. You can reuse screw bands and jars, but replace screw bands when they rust.
3. Examine and clean all equipment. Check all bands for rust, dents or nicks and jars for chips and cracks. Recycle them or use them elsewhere if they aren't perfect. Wash all equipment in hot, soapy water, but do not immerse the top of your pressure canner in water -- just wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. Keep clean jars, screw tops and dome lids in hot water until ready to use.
4. Prepare only the freshest, cleanest produce. One bushel of fresh beans will result in 15 to 20 quarts of canned beans. Prepare beans in the same manner as for freezing, but do not blanch.
5. Cold Pack or Hot Pack: Vegetables may be canned either cold pack (using raw vegetables) or hot pack (with some degree of precooking). Cold pack is less work, and better for delicate vegetables such as tomatoes. Hot pack is better for beans, because more beans fit into each jar. The flavor is the same whichever method you choose.
Cold Pack
Snap Beans: Firmly pack raw, prepared beans into hot jars. The beans will shrink during processing. Leave one inch of headspace (correct headspace allows for proper venting and sealing of the jars). Add boiling water to each jar, making sure the liquid covers the food, but retaining the one inch of headspace. If you prefer, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt per pint. Run a spatula or bubbler around the insides of the jars to eliminate air bubbles. Wipe the jar tops and threads clean with a damp cloth. Put the lids, rubber side down, on the jars and firmly screw on the bands.
Green shell or soybeans: Put raw, shelled beans loosely into hot jars, leaving one inch of headspace. The beans will expand during processing. Continue the canning procedure as detailed above for snap beans.

Customer Reviews
bunny loves it
Bought this for the bunny my daughter adopted. He did not seem interested in any toys we provided for him and I was afraid he'd be bored. The minute this arrived I put it together, nice and sturdy, well designed, he began exploring. It wasn't long before he was going up and down the ramps or simply running through one door and out the other. My daughter moved it next to her bed and he now goes up to the top floor and jumps onto her bed. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

The next time your significant other complains when you tell him it's time for a trip to the mall, just roll your eyes and tell him he can bring his phone.
See, dudes may not love physically combing through the racks, but let 'em buy stuff in a virtual store, and they'll pretty much shop till they drop—or at least until their battery goes dead.
Innovation blog VentureBeat reports that a survey by MocoSpace, a mobile social network, found that while men and women are pretty evenly matched when it comes to playing social games—and spend about the same amount of time playing them—69 percent of guys buy virtual goods, while just 31 percent of women do. And a whopping 90 percent of virtual goods bought inside mobile social games are purchased by men, VentureBeat adds.
We say, well, duh. Women know that money is much better spent on real-life Jimmy Choos. Fighting for the last pair during the end-of-season clearance sales? Game on.
